For Chen Jiyuan, no, it should be said that for everyone, the demerits of this game were unexpected.

Not because the team won, but because the team won with Curry's efforts.

I don't know what kind of psychology I'm in, anyway, in this game, Iguodala is playing more freely. However, when it comes to individual offense, Iguodala is still not interested.

And at this time, it was Curry who stood up.

The Clippers' starters are Al Thornton, Byron Davis, Chris Carman, Marcus Camby, Eric Gordon.

In the first quarter of the game, there was no big turmoil.

The Knicks are still playing tepidly. Without Chen Jiyuan's survival, the Knicks are missing an important pillar on the offensive end.

After all, Chen Jiyuan is the most reliable offensive player of the Knicks, and once the ball is handed over to Chen Jiyuan, then the opponent's defensive attention will inevitably be brought to Chen Jiyuan as soon as possible. And the defensive pressure of other people will be relaxed, and everyone else will have a chance.

And now the defensive pressure is on everyone.

Curry dribbles the ball, and at this time, the bearded Byron Davis is no longer the bearded Byron Davis who averaged 20+ per game.

Now Byron Davis has experienced an injury, and the tactical system of the Clippers has not been able to integrate perfectly, which has led to the decline of Byron Davis's numbers, but even so, the bearded Byron Davis's defense is still quite good, not only does not suffer much in footwork, but also has a very good sense of steals, and can often break the ball from the opponent's hands. It's really quick and ruthless.

Curry played in a depressing atmosphere for a long time, but, although he has been working hard, he just hasn't broken through, and he feels like something is in front of him. All Knicks teammates know that it's called the rookie wall, and everybody has been through that. But this thing is not something that others can help with external forces, and you have to rely on yourself to break through.

Curry faced Byron Davis today, cautiously carrying the ball, Curry also watched the game video before the game, and knew that Byron Davis was very good at cutting off the ball that was dribbling in the opponent's hand.

So Curry is also doubling down on his care.

However, Curry has always felt very uncomfortable being trapped, and of course he will not be willing to score so many points in every game, and then he can't make a particularly big contribution on the defensive end, so even if the team wins, Curry will feel that this is not his own victory, but the team's victory. Although the team's victory is more important, it is clear that all the players are looking for their own victory plus the team's victory. In that way, you can reflect the value of a team. No young guy has ever had the idea of retiring with a thick leg and a ring at a young age.

Curry has to prove his worth, prove to everyone how important he is to the team, and prove to the man he admires the most that he made the right choice to be his teammate. He's the one who can help him, and he's the one who can help the Knicks win the championship.

Curry stood outside the three-point line at the top, looking at Byron Davis who was defending himself in front of him, and suddenly he was shooting a three-point shot, a three-point shot, a three-point shot, and the speed of the shot was very fast, when Byron Davis reacted. It is no longer possible to close the cap. Originally, Curry's shooting time was relatively short, and it was not easy to be blocked when his height was not a huge disadvantage.

Curry's ball slowly flew to the basket, and in the process of the ball flying, Curry was thinking, can't it go in yet, can't it go in? Nima's, go in, go in.

In the midst of the abuse, the ball really went in.

Curry opened the game with a three-pointer to give the Knicks the lead. 3:0。

However, the Clippers were not far behind, and Byron Davis quickly made a pull-up jump shot in front of Curry, who couldn't do anything effective to stop Byron Davis' pull-up jump shot.

Byron Davis hit a two-pointer. 3:2。

The Clippers' offense is still relatively slow, this is not the rhythm of Byron Davis at all, when he was with the Warriors, at that time, the Warriors' Black Eight Miracle relied on the whirlwind style of fast play. And in this fast whirlwind, the bearded Byron Davis is the leading big brother.

Naturally, Byron Davis's style of play is about to fight a whirlwind, and if you want to talk about positional warfare, it is really not what Byron Davis is good at.

The Knicks attacked again, and Curry passed the ball to Iguodala, who was on the left side outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, holding the ball and looking for an opportunity.

Now the team's interior partners are Serge Ibaka and Ty Gibson, both of whom have the ability to attack themselves on the inside, and at this point, it is still a headache, because in the current situation, the Knicks' offensive writing can only be www.biquge.info on the outside, which will undoubtedly allow the opponent to catch the hole.

Obviously, when the Clippers knew that Chen Jiyuan would not play in this game, they would naturally have all kinds of feelings, whether this was the Knicks' contempt for the Clippers, they didn't know, but, at least, the Clippers' coaching staff discovered the Knicks' weaknesses for the first time, that is, after leaving Chen Jiyuan, on the offensive end, the Knicks will have all kinds of loopholes.

In the past, once Chen Jiyuan was not there, the Knicks' offense would even fall into too many individual singles, and at that time, the team's internal organization and offense were not very good, so Chen Jiyuan's passing vision and awareness were indispensable, and now at least Iguodala's storage zài, so that the operation of the whole team's ball could not be stopped.

However, in Chen Jiyuan's absence, the Knicks' interior line has changed from a first-class strong combination in the league to a combination that can only defend itself.

Although Ibaka and Ty Gibson did not have the ability to attack on their own, Ibaka and Ty Gibson soon made their opponents pay the price of their contempt.

Iguodala dribbled the ball and Ty Gibson coordinated with the pick-and-roll, Iguodala rushed into the interior in one step, Eric Gordon didn't follow up at the first time, and let Iguodala rush to a deep place, but Camby was a famous defensive titan in the league and blocked Iguodala's path at the first time.

But what did Iguodala do in the first place? Retreat, no, no, of course not, the first thing Iguodala did was throw the ball into the sky.

And, at the same time, with the ball, there was another person, that is, Ty Gibson, although Camby's ability to find block opportunities is still strong, but after all, he is old, and his body is no longer what he used to be, and he can't stop Ty Gibson's aerial relay.

Ty Gibson received the ball in the air and slammed it into the basket. A nice air relay. Let the Knicks complete the offense.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, the Knicks made the Clippers, who were a little undermatched, suffer a big loss.

Without Chen Jiyuan's Nix, for some reason, a powerful energy erupted. This energy was so great that Thibodeau was very surprised.

Chen Jiyuan, who was dressed in a suit, sat on the sidelines, and suddenly had a feeling that he could go home and hold his child, and then wait for the opponent to send him the championship ring.

It seems that this team has me or not, and it's almost the same.

In the first quarter of the game, Curry not only finally found his touch, but also seemed to have broken through the so-called rookie wall, and in the first quarter of the game, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers and scored 13 points.

Iguodala continued to do his job as a big brother, and although he only scored 2 points, he delivered 3 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds, which is absolutely conscientious. I don't do anything to be in the limelight at all.

As for the interior combination that was despised by the Clippers before the game, it suddenly gave the Clippers a moment at this time, although Ty Gibson and Ibaka have no strong offensive ability on the inside, but on the defensive end, they did a good job, and Camby's own offensive power is not as strong as Ibaka and Ty Gibson, coupled with the aging of age, it is natural to do nothing on the offensive end, and as for Carman, he still has some ability, this season can be said to be Carman's highlight moment, Carman has 18.5 points and 9.3 rebounds this season, which is close to an average of 20+10 per game. and became an All-Star bench.

However, on the defensive end, under the tutelage of Thibodeau's super defensive giant, both Ty Gibson and Ibaka's defensive strength has improved rapidly. Although both of them entered the NBA in their first year, Ibaka adapted relatively quickly because he had played games before, and he has gradually shown his power on the defensive end.

And Ty Gibson still needs time.

In this game, Kaman did not get any benefit under Ibaka's defense, perhaps Ibaka's defense was good. Maybe it's because Carman didn't feel good in this game, anyway, in the first quarter of the game, the Clippers' interior duo scored a total of 5 points. Camby has 1 point and Carman has 4 points.

As for the Knicks' interior combination, Ty Gibson and Ibaka each scored 5 points, for a total of 10 points. This is already a pretty good result.

After all, at the original time, many people thought that the Knicks' interior line would be blown up by the Clippers' offensive and defensive combination.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led the Clippers with a score of 33-25.

Although Chen Jiyuan's absence made the Knicks' offense a little disjointed, however, Chen Jiyuan's rest did not have such a big impact on the defensive end, especially the interior defense, after all, the defensive strength of Ibaka and Ty Gibson is good, although it will not be satisfactory, but at least it can occasionally burst out with a little brilliance.
