Chen Jiyuan's table in the first quarter can be said to be okay, although it is not as amazing as James's table, but it is worthy of the responsibility of the team leader he bears.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks replaced the best sixth man on their side - Jamal Crawford. Crawford's scoring ability is also relatively strong, but Crawford's scoring efficiency is not very high, and he still has room for improvement, although it is not very big.

Chen Jiyuan went off the court in the second quarter, and James's good performance in the first quarter was also a little tired, so he also went off the court to rest, which is normal, after all, in the first quarter, basically James did all the work of point guards, point guards and small forwards. The consumption of the body lì is great.

Now, the main scoring points of both sides are very obvious, that is, Gibson and Crawford. Although Gibson didn't have a good hand before, Gibson is still one of the few players in the league who can shoot more than 6 three-point shots while maintaining a shooting percentage of more than 40%. The players who can do this are basically the best superstars in the league, no, it should be said that they are all superstars, and the people who could have done it can be counted on one hand.

Here Crawford took the lead in helping the Knicks open, it seems that Crawford has a good hand, this ball, Nate Robinson holds the ball alone, but the opportunity is not good, and later, when there is little offensive time left, he gave the ball to Crawford on the outside, and when Crawford received the ball, there was still a meter away from the three-point line. However, Crawford made the seemingly impossible three-pointer and scored it back. It's nothing short of a miracle. The best sixth man on both sides felt good or bad at once, and it was obvious that Crawford felt hot and Gibson felt cold. However, this is only temporary, and there is still a long way to go. 32：33。

Regardless of whether Gibson can redeem himself or not in the future, it is an indisputable fact that Gibson has been beaten by Crawford. The fastest and most stable update dìng)

Crawford hit a big two-pointer in front of Gibson.

After that, Gibson's outside three-point shot was crooked again and missed. But Gibson still didn't hesitate in the slightest when he made a move.

Crawford's continuous breakthroughs and success on the inside of the Cavaliers not only helped the Knicks recover the lost points, but also helped the Knicks establish a significant advantage. The Knicks led the Cavaliers by seven points at 42-35.

In the third minute of the second quarter, both sides switched their main players. Because today's game is really important, both sides will not let the main players rest for too long, one is because the main players are needed to help the team score to open up the situation, and the other is that if the rest is too long, the main force needs to find the feel again, now James and Chen Jiyuan feel good, so the head coaches of both sides do not want to let the absolute main force on their side find the feel again, so Chen Jiyuan and James quickly returned to the game.

After playing, James quickly showed his superstar strength, and James soon began to educate Chen Jiyuan on how to behave. And tell Chen Jiyuan a truth - if you want to defeat me, you need to go through a lot of things.

James came up first in the fast break, shot a very surprising three-pointer, and then singled Chandler, after breaking in, causing Chen Jiyuan's foul, this ball almost scored the ball, fortunately, Chen Jiyuan's strength is not vegetarian. Collided with James in terms of strength, but did not let James push out a little offensive space, although James, who couldn't see the basket at all, wanted to throw the ball in by luck, but the ball that was thrown into the sky didn't even touch the rebound, because in order to avoid Chen Jiyuan's hands, the ball James threw very high, so the distance did not reach the basket at all. There's no way to do it, after all, Chen Jiyuan's height is plus his arm span, without losing his defensive position, what can he dodge Chen Jiyuan's block and score?

After receiving this foul, Chen Jiyuan didn't care at all, after all, this was Chen Jiyuan's first foul, in the first quarter, Chen Jiyuan, as an inside center, didn't get a single foul, which has to be said to be very surprising.

James hit both free throws, but the situation that was unfavorable to the Knicks was that after that, James's continuous breakthroughs made Chen Jiyuan pay a very heavy price. In the face of James's attack, Chen Jiyuan was also thinking about whether to step forward to defend? However, when I think of James's blue shooting percentage, even if someone is chasing after him, it can't interfere with James's layup, this shooting percentage is too high. Therefore, James cannot be indulged in his reckless behavior in the interior territory of his side. Then Chen Jiyuan was fouled three times in a row by James in just 4 minutes. Such a fast frequency made Thomas have to replace Chen Jiyuan off the field.

At this time, the Knicks were still 3 points ahead of the Cavaliers. However, after Chen Jiyuan went off the court, the Knicks' interior defense became even weaker. James even stirred up the Knicks' inside line. didn't give Chen Jiyuan, an old teammate, a little face.

When the second quarter of the game ended, Chen Jiyuan did not get playing time, which is also a way to do it, although it was very disappointing when he was temporarily behind, but it was better than the critical moment in the fourth quarter, Chen Jiyuan had no way to play the mall. You must know that Chen Jiyuan's value is not comparable to others, and Chen Jiyuan cannot score in time, and Chen Jiyuan can also play a very strong role in attracting defensive attention. It's not something anyone else in the Knicks can do. After all, Chen Jiyuan's offensive firepower is very fierce, and the strength of the league's scoring champion is not boasting.

After the halftime, relying on the play of Crawford and Sessions, the Knicks were not pulled away, but James scored 33 points in the half, which Nima is going against the rhythm of the sky.

During Chen's absence, Sessions carried the offensive banner of the Knicks. Not only did he organize the offense, but he also participated in the offense, helping the team hit a three-pointer and a layup, and once caused Gibson to foul both free throws.

Sessions will always be a trustworthy guy. Although this guy can't score three or four points per game, Sessions' steady play will help the team when the team needs him most. I won't disappoint my teammates at all, at least not yet.

At halftime, when the players from both sides left the court, Chen Jiyuan quickly stood up, greeted his teammates, high-fived his teammates in celebration, and said to Sessions and Crawford that they had done a good job.

After all, thanks to Crawford's good touch, the Knicks were not thrown away.

Now the score is 55:62. Both sides maintained a very high shooting percentage to score. And today's score is also very high, and now the Knicks are 6 points behind, temporarily at a disadvantage, but the six-point difference is nothing, and not reaching double digits is two feelings for the players. If the Knicks seem to be 10 or more points behind the Cavaliers now, then the Knicks players have a different feeling in their hearts. At least it won't be as easy as it is now, when you have a sense of urgency in your heart, you are anxious, and when you are in a hurry, you are easy to make mistakes. It's a vicious circle.

At halftime, Chen Jiyuan sat there thinking about how to limit James, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to win this game. James was a bit overdone today. There is absolutely no way to stop it. Chen Jiyuan paid three fouls on James very quickly. This proves that if you want to stop James, your defensive strategy in the first half is obviously not good, but thousands of supplementary defenses are even more impossible. That is tantamount to telling James: "Little Zhan Zhan, you can score as many points as you want." ”

Something must be done to stop James, what the hell should be done? Chen Jiyuan fell into deep contemplation.
