Chapter 296: Knicks backcourt double shots
The Knicks, who won the first game, can breathe a sigh of relief, at least the Knicks still have the possibility of winning this series. The fastest and most stable update dìng)
In this game, Chen Jiyuan successfully led the Knicks to a victory at home, and the dark clouds that had shrouded everyone in the Knicks before were removed.
In this game, Chen Jiyuan got 31 points and 13 rebounds, although this is a big reason why the Knicks can win, but in the first quarter, when Chen Jiyuan felt cold, if it weren't for the backcourt double guns of Sessions and Starkey, the Knicks might have been a different scene in the future.
Sessions had a super-well-rounded count today, with 25 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and five steals. There are not many people who can get 25+10+5+5 in the playoffs, and such a number is enough to prove the value and strength of Sessions to the world, and as a second-round rookie, Sessions signed a two-year contract with the Knicks last season, that is to say, Sessions' second-year contract is not guaranteed, so after this year's game, the Knicks need to consider renewing the contract with Sessions. You must know that such a well-rounded player, all the fans of the Knicks do not want to send away such a hopeful star, a future superstar.
Sessions was a big slap in the face of all the pundits and the so-called experienced scouts. You know, the judgment that Sessions received at the beginning was that the offense was insufficient, the offensive means were single, although the ball control ability was good, but the lack of long-range three-point output, although there was a good pass, but there was no breakthrough skills. The speed is not bad, but it will not be used, although the basic skills are solid, but there are no outstanding characteristics at all, and, the most critical point is that the biggest obstacle to Sessions entering the NBA is that sentence - there is little room for growth.
Such a player is naturally a discouragement for many teams, but Sessions' current appearance completely subverts the information given by the scouts in the first place.
It is true that Sessions has no outstanding characteristics, his projection ability is not enough, and his breakthrough is not sharp enough, but Sessions has a heart that is far beyond ordinary people, and Sessions is a good boy who is diligent and tireless in his efforts. This is also why Chen Jiyuan knew that Sessions was only a role player in his previous life, but he still asked Martin to trade a second-round draft pick to select him.
Now, Sessions's table is not in Chen Jiyuan's prediction, but such a result obviously makes Chen Jiyuan feel happy.
Sessions worked hard to improve his range, and, with Starkey, he gradually learned to use his speed advantage, the already solid basic skills, so that Sessions can learn to improve quite quickly, and Sessions has strengthened his dribbling ability. As a relatively tall point guard, Sessions' rebounding ability is also second to none in the position. That's why Sessions has always been very comprehensive. If it weren't for Sessions, the Knicks' outside rebounding would not know how much they would lose to their opponents, if it weren't for Sessions' good rebounding ability, the Knicks' short trio on the outside would have to lose every game in rebounds.
How to renew Sessions' contract will be a big problem for the Knicks. And there are more than one or two teams facing Sessions. The Knicks have to pay Sessions a pretty high price to get his contract extended.
In today's game, the good person is not only Sessions, Starkey also came out of the nervousness of participating in the playoffs for the first time, in this game, Sessions scored 31 points, and Sessions also had 5 assists and 4 rebounds, Strawy's scoring ability has always been his strong point, especially Strawy's breakthrough ability, really tough, as a rookie, Strawy's table is also very eye-catching, especially Strawkey's talent has obviously not been fully shown, This is also a future star, and if Starkey can take charge of the ball again, it is obvious that Starkey's number jù will be greatly improved, and at the beginning of the season, Starkey can get the number jù as proof. Starkey's suitable position is actually point guard, because Starkey also has a good pass, but Starkey is still a lot worse than Sessions in terms of controlling mistakes, and Starkey is also trying his best to learn from Sessions, but this is not so simple to learn. Because Sessions' stability is innate, whether it is personality or style of play, and at the same time, Sessions has also suffered the disadvantages brought about by this stable word, that is, he is not domineering enough, in other words, the temperament of the leader is not enough, so Sessions cannot become the boss of a team. As for whether it can progress in the future, this is still unknown.
Starkey is passionate in this regard, and Starkey's celebration after the goal, the atmosphere of the fans, the-for-tat with the opponent, and the restraint of Sessions, Starkey are all on the outside. If anything, in terms of being the boss of the team, Starkey is obviously much more qualified than Sessions.
Starkey has also shown the talent and talent shown at this time in his previous life until now. Starkey and the Knicks signed a one-point 2+1 contract. The reason why he did not sign 3+1 was because Chen Jiyuan was ready to trade Stucky two years later. At that time, Starkey had almost grown to a fairly high value. At that time, the value of the Starkey trade will be at its peak. At that time, what Chen Jiyuan hoped most was to exchange Starkey for a star who matched the team's situation, and if he couldn't, he would exchange for a first-round draft sign, which all depended on the actual situation.
Starki's growth is something that Chen Jiyuan knows, but Sessions is an accident, originally Chen Jiyuan thought that the team's starting point guard was not Sessions, Sessions was just a point guard on the bench with a steady ball, and now, with the growth of Sessions, Sessions has gradually secured the team's starting point guard seat. Then, the plan that Chen Jiyuan originally had in mind needs to be changed accordingly.
Today's Cavaliers' table is also very good, James got a quasi-triple-double of 32 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds, compared to the score in the last game, Chandler's defense is qualified. As for whether Chandler will be used to defend James for the entire series, it will have to be seen in the next game.
Gibson's three points today are very accurate, it is simply accurate, today's Gibson is 10 of 14 three-pointers, and Gibson, who scored 34 points, is the scoring champion of the Cavaliers. As the league's leading three-point shooter now, Gibson's next contract will also be a headache for the Cavaliers.
After winning this game, the Knicks, who have recovered their morale, will continue to prepare for Game 4 against the Cavaliers at home.
