When James and Gibson are on the court at the same time, the threat is huge. James is now at the peak of his physical condition, which is the beginning of the best age for his body. It's really hard to stop rushing to the inside.

And Gibson's threat from beyond the three-point line is arguably one of the league's strongest outside shooters. Now Gibson has grown to such a point that he was able to sign the 10 million contract.

Gibson's biggest and irreparable flaw compared to Ray Allen and other old-timers is his lack of independent offensive ability. That's something Gibson needs to be strengthened.

Gibson found an opportunity after James came on the court, successfully hit three balls, two three-pointers, one dangled outside the three-point line, took a step inside, and then shot a large two-pointer.

And because of Gibson's involvement, the Knicks' defense of James has become a little unable to take care of all aspects.

During this time, James and Gibson both broke out, helping the Cavaliers erase the point difference in an instant. James had 5 points and 3 assists, and the two of them gave the Knicks a headache in an instant.

In just five minutes, the advantage that the Knicks had accumulated before was instantly wiped out.

Just five minutes later, the score was 47:48. There were still four minutes left in the second quarter of the game, and the score between the two sides became so high. If the two teams can maintain this offensive efficiency for the next four minutes, then the score of the two sides may increase to 60 points in the second quarter.

However, the truth is that everyone guessed wrong. It's not always easy.

The Knicks attacked, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, the Cavaliers' defense of Chen Jiyuan today was quite successful, and Chen Jiyuan really didn't feel good in this game. Chen Jiyuan had eight points and four rebounds on 3-of-8 shooting.

The effect that Xibodeau hoped to achieve by replacing Chen Jiyuan was obviously unsuccessful, and Chen Jiyuan himself was slightly anxious. But Chen Jiyuan knows very well that these anxious moods will only make him lose his cool even more, and will only make his appearance worse.

Therefore, this ball, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, singled Anderson Vallejo, no skills, squeezed into the inside, wanted to single, but in the process of Chen Jiyuan's arch, the knight's bag came up, very timely, Gibson wanted to reach out to break the ball, but Chen Jiyuan quickly dodged Gibson's hand with the ball, and then jumped up and hooked his hand without rhythm, the ball swung around the basket, and finally rolled out.

However, Landry picked up the rebound on the inside, and then Landry jumped again and shot the ball, but the ball did not go in due to Ben Wallace's interference.

And Landry wanted to jump up again to grab the rebound, and at this time it was clear that Ben Wallace was indeed old. Although Landry is not known for jumping at all, but not for his speed, where is the age? Young people, after all.

Ben Wallace and Landry almost landed together, but Landry was faster and grabbed the rebound before Ben Wallace, but Landry made another rebound, and the ball still didn't go in.

Anderson Vallejo and Chen Jiyuan also quickly followed into the inside, wanting to grab the rebound, Ben Wallace and Landry pulled the ball away, and the four of them scuffled under the basket, jumping up and down to compete for the rebound, Chen Jiyuan reached the ball, and directly flew the ball out of the three-point line, and none of the four wanted to get the ball, because Chen Jiyuan himself could not get the right to control it.

Chen Jiyuan's luck was slightly worse, Chen Jiyuan didn't know that the ball was flown there, but in fact, the ball was held by James, and after receiving the ball, James ran all the way. Went to the Knicks' half.

Then, there is no then. James rushed up, and he couldn't pull it. It's like there's a mad cow running in front of you with a needle stuck in the ass, and you're going to try to pull it back? Don't be funny.

James flew up and slammed a buckle. 47:50。

The Knicks once again regrouped and prepared to attack, and the Cavaliers relied on the previous small climax to gradually occupy the initiative on the court.

The Knicks attack, or Chen Jiyuan attacks with the ball, and the defender is Ben Wallace, Ben Wallace's strength is very strong, he can withstand Chen Jiyuan, and does not let Chen Jiyuan go inside easily, but the current Ben Wallace only has this strength left, after all, it is an older person, and it is not easy for Ben Wallace to continue to play.

Chen Jiyuan originally chose to turn over and shoot more when he played Ben Wallace, because the effect was really good, Chen Jiyuan occupied the advantage of height, plus his own shot was high and backward, Ben Wallace couldn't even reach the hair. It's completely pressure-free to shoot, as long as you can ensure your feel, then Chen Jiyuan can beat Ben Wallace with just this trick and go home to find his mother in tears.

However, the problem is that Chen Jiyuan obviously has no feel today, or the feel is really bad, if he doesn't make a move, he won't get in. Chen Jiyuan felt that he had to play from the inside and find the feeling of scoring first, otherwise, it would be too wasteful to shoot from the outside all the time. Chen Jiyuan walked inside with Ben Wallace on his back, but Ben Wallace was still not completely old after all, and Chen Jiyuan, who was still able to top the strength, was very uncomfortable, Chen Jiyuan hit it violently again, and then after feeling Ben Wallace's power, he turned around directly and walked the bottom line from Ben Wallace's right side, Ben Wallace's footsteps did not keep up, Chen Jiyuan came to the basket very smoothly, and Anderson Vallejo on the other side did not have time to make up the defense. Chen Jiyuan slammed the slam and vented his frustration of not scoring for a long time. 49:50。

For the rest of the second quarter, both sides began to score all sorts of non-goals, no matter how they shot, they didn't score, and even layups would interfere and crash out. Anyway, both sides started the great cause of iron.

Before the end of the second quarter of the game, both sides did not score a point, which is helpless enough, but the feeling of both sides has not decreased on the one hand, and the defense of both sides is indeed very good, the team that can enter the playoffs, and the team that has reached the second round of the playoffs, is naturally not a soft persimmon. Generally speaking, the smaller the difference in strength, the better the game will be, because the difference between the two teams is not too big, and every goal scored will make people feel very excited, because any goal can determine the victory.

Both sides did a good job of restricting each other's absolute main players in the first half of the game, but the Knicks' effect of restricting James was obviously not very good, because the involvement of Gibson on the outside made it difficult for the Knicks' defense to shrink. What Chen Jiyuan is looking for now is such a player.

It's okay to find a second-rate star who can accurately hit three-pointers on the outside, at least so that the opponent doesn't dare to shrink the defense indefinitely, the current Knicks shooters on the outside really can't open up the space for Chen Jiyuan to this point.

Sessions as a point guard, three-point shooting is not his specialty, although Sessions' three-point shooting rate is indeed improving, but it is only a 34 percent shooting rate of the player, now Sessions must hit more three-pointers, in order to let others know that with their own savings, the opponent can't recklessly wrap up our big brother.

Another outside player of the Knicks, Rodney Starkey, don't think about it, the three-point shooting rate is simply miserable, and the grasp of the big two-point shot is slightly improved, but when it comes to three-point shooting, then I can only kneel and beg you not to talk about it. If you keep talking, Starkey won't have the face to live.

As for Stephen Jackson, he is definitely not a prolific outside shooter, and his three-point shooting rate is just over 30 percent, in fact, as a pitcher, the three-point shooting rate must be close to 40 percent.

At this point, Chen Jiyuan is indeed a headache.

Thibodeau naturally saw that the Knight's infinite shrinkage defense was indeed very difficult for Chen Jiyuan, and he had to find a way. Let Chen Jiyuan get out of this predicament.

As a result, Thibodeau changed his attacking tactics before the start of the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, the five people on the Knicks' side were Chen Jiyuan, Love, Sessions, Tony Allen, and Stephen Jackson.

This lineup, Thibodeau wants the effect is to be able to block James and Gibson at the same time, although Thibodeau also knows very well that it is very difficult to completely block it, but at least to make these two people unable to score goals very easily, to make these two people consume a lot of body,

Thibodeau's arrangement is quite effective, and now that the Knicks can't open up the situation, it's better to put all the focus on the defensive end, Thibodeau feels that Sessions must play, otherwise, the Knicks' outside line is really too weak. Sessions is not only able to organize the offense, but he is also able to attack on his own, and he is also better than Starkey in three-point shooting.

And Tony Allen and Stephen Jackson can change defenses at any time, although Tony Allen is a little worse than James in height, but Tony Allen is very iron-blooded on the one hand, and never knows what fear is, on the other hand, Tony Allen's strength is also relatively strong.

And in the third quarter of the game, sure enough, these two people did a good job of limiting Gibson and James.

James's first ball, under the push and shoving of Stephen Jackson, barely shot, the ball did not score, and the rebound was accepted by Chen Jiyuan.

And the Knicks' offense is to have more patience, looking for opportunities little by little, Chen Jiyuan blocked and dismantled Sessions, Chen Jiyuan did not go to the inside line to card singles, but more in the high post to Sessions to block and dismantle, Sessions took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's cover, successfully got rid of Mo Williams, however, Zajunas Ilgoskas delayed Sessions' forward route, but this did not cause much trouble for Sessions, because Zajunas Ilgoskas did not dare to leave Chen Jiyuan too far, Otherwise, it's too dangerous.

Sessions went inside, dodged Anderson Vallejo's block, and scored on the basketball. 51:50。
