Chapter 643
In the game with the Wizards, the Knicks kept making fun of things, so the last starters were Curry, Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, Ibaka, and Chen Jiyuan.
Thibodeau didn't opt for Thornton to start as shooting guard. This is also taken into account.
The Wizards' starters are those five, Mike Miller, Andre Bladge, Randy Foye, Al Thornton, and James Singleton.
The competition has officially begun.
When jumping the ball, Chen Jiyuan successfully found the best time to jump and dialed the ball to Curry.
After Curry dribbled the ball through halftime, perhaps because the existence of 22 wins put Curry under pressure. It feels like Curry's movements are a little stiff, and he's also a little bit less daring to attack.
After half time, he found Chen Jiyuan, and then gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan hadn't completely found a good inside offensive position at this time, so Chen Jiyuan chose to break through the face frame.
To be honest, Chen Jiyuan really doesn't feel that he has a defender in front of him.
Chen Jiyuan's right foot just poked to the right, and then quickly dribbled the ball to the left, Andre Bradge followed a step when he saw Chen Jiyuan's foot poking to the right, and then began to stand still, watching Chen Jiyuan rush to the inside line from the left, Andre Blatch didn't mean to follow the defense at all, just watched in place, as if he was an off-court spectator.
Anyway, Chen Jiyuan doesn't care about this and that. How could it be so simple to let go of the opportunity, Chen Jiyuan, who rushed to the inner line, directly charged up and jumped, stretched his body, spread out his arms, and made a powerful one-handed split. It came up and gave all the Warshengton fans a dismount.
2:0。
When it comes to the Wizards' offense, Chen Jiyuan really can't see that the Wizards have any tactical play, giving people the feeling that it is a piece of loose sand, very funny, for example, this offense, Mike Miller should have run out of a good position under the tactical arrangement, but Randy Foye's pass was directly passed to Al Thorton on the inside.
Al Thorton was not in position at all, so he could only make a reluctant shot, but El Thorton was only 2.03 meters tall, after all, he was not tall enough, although his physical confrontation ability was relatively strong, but Lefu was not a vegetarian.
Al Thorton's goal was already very difficult to avoid Lefou's block, and it didn't look like it was going to score, and even this goal, which seemed to probably not be scored in 80%, still suffered the most significant change in his life.
A big yellow hand successfully intercepted the ball. Optimistic, it's interception, not fanflying, it's interception.
The owner of the rhubarb hand, that is, our Mr. Chen Jiyuan, after jumping, actually hugged the ball directly in the air, and intercepted the ball completely.
After landing, Chen Jiyuan took the ball out of his arms. Pass to Curry. Prepare for the offensive.
Because the Knicks' lineup is really incomplete, Chen Jiyuan has been prepared before the game starts, ready to return to the situation before the Knicks' overall eyesight was very good, Chen Jiyuan knows that he has to take on more things, this game, the Knicks can win, the Knicks can complete 22 consecutive wins, and only then can the Knicks achieve 60 wins.
This is the reason why Chen Jiyuan was very, very excited as soon as he started.
Although they couldn't play, the three main players of the Knicks were still sitting on the long side, and seeing Chen Jiyuan's brave performance, these goods couldn't help but think of one thing in their minds, did Chen Jiyuan do something unsightly in the hotel yesterday. Did Chen Jiyuan call, cough-cough, uh-huh, what kind of service is that?
It feels like Chen Jiyuan has just been liberated from something, and his performance is high.
The second ball of the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan was still single, this time Chen Jiyuan once again easily turned over and jumped under the defense of Andre Blatche, Andre Bracch didn't even jump to block, just crossed his feet. And it also means to eat. It wasn't until Chen Jiyuan made a move that Andre Bradge's hand was stretched out.
The reason for this situation is simple, that is, Andre Blatch knows deep down that this ball will not be converted into a block, so why waste his energy to interfere. What's more, even if it is interfered with, it may not be effective, and it is completely unnecessary. You're right?
4:0。
The first quarter of the game completely became Chen Jiyuan's personal performance, because the performance was too eye-catching, so Thibodeau did not replace Chen Jiyuan in the whole game, and Chen Jiyuan has always been killed on the court.
Chen Jiyuan scored 12 points on the court, and also had 4 rebounds and 5 assists plus 2 blocks.
The Wizards really don't have any good strategy for Chen Jiyuan's defense, at the beginning he let Andre Blatch defend alone, and then Philip Saunders quickly found out that this is tantamount to letting Chen Jiyuan score infinitely. So Philip Saunders came up with an easier solution. That is to let Andre Blatch and James Singleton defend Chen Jiyuan.
On many occasions, the Wizards have left their defense against Matt Barnes in the air.
As a result, Chen Jiyuan attracted almost all the defensive attention of the Wizards after receiving the ball every time, and then passed the ball out, and after his teammates received the ball, he was always able to shoot in time to create assist data for Chen Jiyuan. At the same time, it creates scoring data for the whole team.
In the first quarter of the game, although the starters were missing three at once, the Knicks still took the lead.
The score was 27:22.
In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks let Chen Jiyuan rest for a while, because there were three people on the team who couldn't play, so the Knicks' tolerance was slightly insufficient. But it's totally bearable, it's just a game anyway.
Chen Jiyuan rested off the court, and the inside combination returned to the same Ty Gibson and Ibaka,
The outside three are Thorton, Matt Barnes and Chandler.
Although Thibodeau didn't want to use Chandler, Stephen Jackson was playing at his age, and the time he needed to rest gradually began to increase.
After all, he is 32 years old, although this age is still in the golden age, but it is no longer the age that can play more than 40 minutes in a game like child's play.
So Thibodeau thought twice, and under Chen Jiyuan's strong recommendation, he began to gradually reduce Stephen Jackson's playing time.
In that world, the people under Thibodeau were all overused, causing quite serious consequences. Here, in the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan will try his best to limit the situation caused by Thibodeau, and Chen Jiyuan will let the players allocate their playing time as reasonably as possible.
The Wizards were replaced by Earl Boykins, Javier McGee, Quinton Rose, Nick Young, Andre Blatch.
Nick Young's hand feels pretty good today, whether this thing feels good or not, anyway, it's his own singles, what do you like? The name of the singles king is not to blow out the drop, but to make it with practical actions.
Nick Young was defended by Matt Barnes and hit back-to-back singles.
In fact, Nick Young doesn't have a lot of singles moves, and more often, Nick Young will choose to end his offense with a jumper.
Nick Young is not very valued by Philip Sanders, at least not very much by Philip Sanders now, and every game, Nick Young plays less than 20 minutes. In fact, Nick Young is fully capable of playing the role of the team's best sixth man, but Nick Young's strengths and weaknesses are as obvious, although he can score, he has very few passes and assists, and his scoring efficiency is not very high.
But Nick Young clearly got his hands on it today. Philip Saunders naturally kept Nick Young on the court.
During the period when the bench lineup was fighting, Nick Young kept shooting by himself, and even helped the Wizards tie the score.
Even though Nick Young's bullshuffling performance made the home fans cheer, the Knicks still sat down.
Thorton ran forward with the ball again and came to the Wizards' half, Earl Boykins defended Thorton, although Thorton is a little short in the shooting guard position, but in the point guard, it is a normal height, and at the same time, Earl Boykins is also the shortest person in the active point guard position, not one of them.
With a height of 1.65 meters, he must have had a few brushes of his own to be able to mix in the league until now. But these brushes are clearly not going to help Earl Boykins grow a few centimeters taller. When it comes to defending tall pitcher-type opponents, Earl Boykins really doesn't have much to do. In contrast, Earl Boykins' super-fast speed is also a nightmare for defenders who don't move laterally fast enough. Even if you move laterally quickly, you won't always be able to prevent it. Because Earl Boykins is just too fast.
Thorton's ball completely ignored Earl Boykins' defense, and went straight out of the three-point line to shoot from the jumper, Earl Boykins had no good way but to try his best to interfere.
But the effect of the interference was obviously minimal, and the ball went into the basket properly.
36:33。
Nick Young also played with the touch, attacking again with the ball, a big two-point jumper. The ball went in again.
36:35。
Thorton was bent on the court with the mentality of wanting to perform well, and he simply became the second king of singles, rarely passing the ball on the court, and he was always playing singles like Nick Young, so in a sense the game became a battle between Thorton and Nick Young.
