Chapter 285: Victory and Defeat Scored?

Updated: 2014-05-14

The decisive moment has come, if the score cannot be narrowed, then, the Knicks' hope of winning is getting smaller and smaller, although the Cavaliers' defense is not very good, but Ben Wallace has improved since he arrived, and Ben Wallace's arrival is not only to help the team consolidate the defense, but also to teach the newcomers how to defend, Ben Wallace's role is not reflected. But Ben Wallace also dragged down his team's offense, although in the Cavaliers this point was compensated for by James and Gibson, who had the offensive firepower ahead. James is averaging 30.1 points per game this season, and without Curry's scoring, James must carry this banner, otherwise, how can the Cavaliers win.

The Knicks attacked, Sessions couldn't shoot, Big Z protected the backcourt rebound, Chen Jiyuan didn't have time to go inside to grab the rebound, the Cavaliers turned around and didn't hit the Knicks an offensive and defensive conversion, on the one hand, because the Knicks' retreat is still even, on the other hand, it is also because the current Cavaliers need to seek stability, this point difference, even if it is not widening, can win the game by maintaining this point difference, so the Cavaliers are not in a hurry to attack at all, and scoring goals is what the Cavaliers are pursuing now.

This ball is really for James to play, James himself with the ball, slowly looking at the time on the ball rack, when there are 6 seconds left in the offensive time, James broke through, hit Richardson with his strength, and then rushed into the inside, Chen Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense, when he was a knight, the two often trained together, James also knew Chen Jiyuan's defensive strength, so this ball, James did not choose to divide the ball, but decided to go on his own, James is betting that Chen Jiyuan's defense is still not as bad as it was before, James dodged in the air after jumping, and then, James had a low-handed basket behind the left, Chen Jiyuan was observing the defensive actions of those defensive masters before, although he couldn't get any essentials, but he could also figure out something, this ball Chen Jiyuan saw James coming, and didn't choose to stand outside the line to foul early, in that case, it was too late, James's speed was very fast. Chen Jiyuan was just like Chandler did at that time, without any downward pressure action, vertical jump, not ready to block James, but to block James's realization. In order to reduce the likelihood of James scoring.

Although James wanted to cause Chen Jiyuan's foul, Chen Jiyuan's ball was not running for the block at all, so Chen Jiyuan's defensive action did not have any foul color at all, and the referee naturally would not blow it. But James's ball still relied on feeling to shoot the ball, or go to the basket.

92:101。 The point difference has widened, and for the Knicks, every time the Cavaliers score a goal, the Knicks have less hope of winning. There are 2 minutes and 26 seconds left.

The Knicks won't play slowly with the rhythm pressed, after Sessions passed halftime, Landry stepped forward to block Sessions, and Sessions took advantage of Landry's cover to slip past Fatbi, but West's defense was not so bad. West can still do it if he wants to. At that time, after Landry blocked Chen Jiyuan, he decisively ran to the inside, Sessions took a slow pace, pretending to pass the ball to Landry who cut inside, but when James reached out to break the ball, he found that Sessions did not pass the ball at all, but used a bit of European steps, kicked to the left, pretended to pass, and synthesized together, when James was deceived, Sessions made a force with his left foot, and entered the inside line from the right side, a right-handed layup, and the big z saw the opportunity to come up, was ready to block Sessions, but Sessions' right-handed layup was also a feint, although Sessions looked like a right-handed layup, the force used when shooting was very large, the ball flew over the head of Big Z, and Chen Jiyuan on the other side jumped up, and after receiving the basket, he dunked the ball into the basket. This beautiful air relay not only helped the Knicks recover two points, but also played a role in damaging the opponent's morale and raising the morale of his side at this critical moment. 94:101。

However, James quickly returned a ball, after James rushed into the inside, when he saw that Crawford stepped forward to defend James, he quickly distributed the ball to Szzambiak, Szzambiak clicked, and then, when he saw that Crawford was leaping over, Szzambiak passed the ball to Gibson, Gibson had a chance here in the bottom corner, naturally he would not hesitate, and he shot directly at three points, and the ball hit steadily, and now Gibson has not hit four or five three-pointers in the game, and everyone will not be surprised, This is aesthetic fatigue. 94:104。

This time it was miserable, the score difference became double digits, and the score difference of 10 points was not so easy to chase. There was 1 minute and 39 seconds left.

Thomas had another timeout, and off the bench, Thomas shouted to Crawford, Richardson, and Sessions: "Don't give Gibson any chance to shoot, pestering him, don't you know how accurate his three-point is?" After breaking into the inside line, "Thomas turned his head to Chen Jiyuan and said: "Chen, you block the opponent's breakthrough, don't give them a chance to break through and score, especially James, Quentin, when James gets up to speed, don't stand still, chase, chase, don't stand stupidly in place." ”

Thomas was unhappy with the Knicks' defense during this period, but he couldn't come up with any effective means.

After getting back on the court, the Knicks had the ball.

If the Knicks can't score this goal, the game is basically over.

Sessions didn't dribble slowly this time, after all, it was not easy to recover a 10-point gap in 1 minute and 39 seconds, and there was time for the Knicks to waste, and Sessions knew this very well.

After halftime, Sessions gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan pushed Ben Wallace, and then jumped out to catch the ball, and after receiving the ball, Chen Jiyuan was already near the three-point line. Ben Wallace didn't dare to let go of Chen Jiyuan in this position, as long as he was not outside the three-point line, then Chen Jiyuan could shoot. Judging from the previous game, even if he is infinitely close to the three-point line, Chen Jiyuan can shoot and has a good shooting rate, although Ben Wallace used his milk strength to defend Chen Jiyuan, but Chen Jiyuan still shook for a while, and then burst inside from the left side. Ben Wallace kept up with Chen Jiyuan's footsteps, but Chen Jiyuan kicked the ground hard with his right foot, and then took a step back to the left, and Ben Wallace opened up space to shoot a point, Chen Jiyuan did not hesitate to jump out after the step, although Ben Wallace also tried his best to defend, but it was too late, there was no way to prevent Chen Jiyuan's shooting, not to mention, Chen Jiyuan also occupied the advantage of height, this ball shot was very stressless, Chen Jiyuan easily threw the ball in. 96:104。 The attack took 14 seconds to attack the Knicks. There is 1 minute and 25 seconds left in the game.

This ball must be defended, the Knicks are preoccupied with the start of defense, especially James, at this time the ball will definitely be handed over to James, James slowly delayed the time outside, until there were still 7 seconds left in the offensive time, and then began to attack, James took advantage of the big Z's blocking, and successfully broke into the inside, Chen Jiyuan because he followed the big Z, so this ball, the person who stepped forward to defend James was Landry, Richardson was already playing with his life to bypass the big z to chase James, But on the one hand, the quality of Big Z's blocking and dismantling is very good, on the other hand, James deliberately squeezed Richardson hard when he passed by Big Z's side, Richardson was so caught by James and Big Z, he couldn't keep up with James's footsteps, James threw Richardson behind him, James rushed into the inside line, facing Landry's supplementary defense, if Landry fouled this ball, he should have pulled James down, but Landry, a newcomer, made a mistake at this time, Landry "touched" A touch of James's arm, this powerful "touch" is simply painless for James, James after being fouled by Landry, easily sent the ball to the basket, this 2+1 play is too hurtful for the Knicks. Thomas yelled at Landry from the sidelines, "Why foul, why foul at this time." ”

However, no matter how angry Thomas yelled, he couldn't change the shape of the court, and James went to the free throw line. 96:106。 There was 1 minute 05 seconds left until the end of the game. The score difference is at least 10 points.

The Knicks have basically gone over, but even if it is this point difference, Chen Jiyuan will not give up, Chen Jiyuan still feels that there is a chance, Chen Jiyuan came to the side of Sessions, and only said one sentence, "Shoot three points quickly in the half, and I'll cover for you." ”

Then Chen Jiyuan entered the three-second zone, ready to grab this rebound. But James withstood Yali and successfully scored the ball. 96:107。

Thomas called a timeout again, and Landry's foul made the Knicks basically lose the competition for the victory of this game, at least in the hearts of all Cavaliers fans, and the home fans stood up and shouted: "MVP, MVP, MVP." ”

After the timeout, Thomas replaced Starkey, and the Knicks' lineup became Chen Jiyuan, Starkey, Sessions, Crawford, and Richardson.

After getting on the court, Sessions received a pass from Richardson and quickly brought it to the frontcourt, and after half time, Chen Jiyuan directly shot a three-pointer for Sessions, and the ball hit the front of the board into the frame. 99:107。

The Knicks' offense took only five seconds.

The Cavaliers are still preparing to delay time tactics, West with the ball, Sessions on the side to follow the defense, just when West slowly played the ball and ran forward, suddenly, a very fast hand rushed out, and when West reacted, the ball had been cut off by the owner of the hand - Rodney Starkey, Starkey broke through quickly after breaking the ball, but Starkey was not carried away by the joy of the steal, after Starkey passed half, West behind him has been chasing, Starki didn't have any pause, jumped up directly, ran to the basket and went, and when he saw that Starkey had gotten up, he gave up chasing defense, anyway, now the score gap is still 8 points, even if the goal is scored, there is a 6-point advantage, in case this ball is beaten by Starkey into 2 + 1, it will be worth the loss. So this ball Starkey made a layup with ease.

The score became 101:107. With 53 seconds left, the Knicks have every chance to turn the tables, and in the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers' advantage is not so secure. As long as this ball can be defended, the Knicks have a better chance of winning.
