Chapter 604
With the roar of this life, the hearts of the fans in the stadium were shocked.
What followed was an extremely enthusiastic response from the fans.
âMVPïŒâ The call resounded throughout the audience.
Sound pierces every wall and goes everywhere, making it impossible for anyone to calm down.
After the roar, Chen Jiyuan raised his arms high, enjoying the cheers of all the fans.
It's just such a simple action, which once again caused a wave of crazy noise. The flags on the Madison Garden court swayed back and forth with the wave, as if to cheer on the Knicks players.
An inconspicuous dunk and a neat block instantly made the momentum of the entire court different.
At this moment, in fact, the winner has already been decided.
The Cavaliers served off the court, and after James received the ball, he did not lose confidence, although the atmosphere on the court was seriously wrong.
But James still won't give up, that's the dignity of a superstar, especially a superstar who has already gotten the taste of a championship. I am very aware of this seemingly inconspicuous spirit, and this kind of soft power can determine whether a team can succeed in the championship to a certain extent.
After James took a step sideways with the ball, he shot a three-point shot directly, but Stephen Jackson's hand was always in front of James, Stephen Jackson didn't plan to block the ball, just to interfere, as long as it interfered, then, Stephen Jackson did enough.
And judging from the results, Stephen Jackson should have succeeded, because of this ball, James's jumper did not score.
O'Neal on the inside originally wanted to scramble for this rebound, but Chen Jiyuan was a dead card owner of O'Neal, not giving O'Neal any chance, and then jumped slightly to accept this crucial backcourt rebound.
Then, help the team win match point. There are 46 seconds left in the game.
That seems like a lot of time, but it's still a little bit insufficient for the Cavaliers, who are four points behind.
As long as the Knicks delay for a 24 second. Then the time left for the Cavaliers is one offensive time, and the odds of scoring four points in one offensive time are obviously basically impossible.
It's usually so hard to score a four, let alone at this critical moment, everyone will have extremely tight control over their movements. Avoid any meaningless behavior, avoid any foul play.
Therefore, after grabbing the rebound, the first thing Chen Jiyuan did was to protect the ball. must not be stealed, I don't know how many people make mistakes at critical moments, it is because of psychological laxity that gives the opponent a chance, and then it causes irreparable consequences.
Chen Jiyuan dodged the Cavaliers players next to him, and then handed the ball to Iguodala to control.
The most reliable ball player on the pitch right now is Andre Iguodala. Although Iguodala is taller than Thornton, he has the ability to dribble the ball without losing to a point guard.
Iguodala controlled the ball and slowly pushed forward.
At this time, Chen Jiyuan knew very well how to fight, so Thibodeau did not want to pause. It was precisely because of his understanding of his disciples that Xibodu believed that Chen Jiyuan would not make mistakes at this time. Chen Jiyuan can also command the players on the field. Let the players play at least a bug-free attack.
Sure enough, after halftime, Chen Jiyuan came to Iguodala's side and said to Iguodala: "Stall, don't give them a chance to fight back." â
It's hard to spot this in the midst of a tense and desperate pace of the game, and it's easy to spot it when we're watching from the sidelines, but not necessarily with the players on the pitch.
There is an old Chinese saying that is good.
"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear." That's not bad at all.
Iguodala glanced up at the time and score above him. I understood what Chen Jiyuan meant.
So he retreated from the three-point line to the top of the mid-line arc. Full of procrastination.
The Cavaliers' players also saw the Knicks' behavior, and James rushed up quickly and made a foul on Iguodala.
The purpose is simple, to stop time.
However, this foul was only the fourth foul for the Cavaliers, and it was not enough to make free throws.
The Knicks served on the sideline, Chen Jiyuan was on the sidelines, and the ball was served to Iguodala, who quickly carried the ball. There was no intention of attacking at all. It's running to a place where no one is.
That foul just now has proven that the Cavaliers decided to foul.
Or maybe James decided to foul. It's time for the Knicks to make free throws. So Iguodala is now waiting for James to chase him and foul him.
And James did really catch up and foul Iguodala.
Iguodala has a lot of experience, and when he saw James coming, he waited until James fouled him, and then directly made a three-point shot.
And then, of course, the referee's whistle will blow. After all, James himself meant to foul, so James also knew very well that his actions would make the referee want to blow the whistle. But James didn't want a three-point whistle.
However, the referee then signaled that Iguodala's three-point shot was invalid. Just an ordinary foul, not a three-point shooting foul.
After all, before James's actual actions were applied to himself, Iguodala didn't dare to shoot a three-pointer in a hurry, which was tantamount to giving the ball to the opponent. That's really a chance for the opponent to turn the tables.
However, after James's movements reached his body, it was a little too late.
Fortunately, Iguodala did this because of his experience, and it is clear that such a thing rarely results in three free throws.
Iguodala walks to the free throw line and makes two free throws.
At this time, even if you are a powerful person, you will be disturbed by a little uncalm thought.
It's like a lore ball.
According to statistics, the usual shooting rate will be higher than the shooting rate of the lore ball, and the person whose shooting rate is closest to the usual shooting rate is the existence that we all are familiar with - Joe Gang Leader.
When it comes to the lore hit rate, James is actually quite high. As for the so-called things that James didn't dare to make a move at a critical moment, those things are meaningless to argue, they are all things that are opinionated by the benevolent and wise. Kobe's strike rate is not high, not as high as James, but, on the one hand, Kobe Bryant still refuses to let in the decisive shot, and on the other hand, Kobe Bryant's number of shots is relatively large. Kobe Bryant also hit more shots than James.
Iguodala will take a deep breath before making a move, even if it is a veteran, even if it is a guy who has been fighting in the league for a long time, in the face of such a situation, there will be psychological fluctuations, and what the veteran has to do is to use experience, use his gradually stronger inner line, and suppress these negative emotional fluctuations.
Iguodala then took the free throw.
The first free throw, the ball was a little short. Luckily, though, the ball fell into the basket after jumping up and down the front of the basket.
As the basketball entered the hoop, everyone's hearts jumped out of their throats before they entered their stomachs.
The second free throw, Iguodala knew that the ball just now was a little small, so this ball increased a little bit of force.
But as soon as he made a shot, Iguodala knew that something bad was going to happen, and while the power of the ball increased, the arc was also a little high.
Sure enough, the ball hit the back edge of the basket. Then it bounced straight back in front of Iguodala.
Luckily, Iguodala had a good judgment of the ball's trajectory and directly concluded that the ball would bounce back, so he ran forward early. Want to be the first to grab this ball.
In order to resist Chen Jiyuan, O'Neill did not take a step forward, but only fought with Chen Jiyuan in strength.
And JJ Hickson is entangled with Ty Gibson on the other side. Originally, the ball was supposed to be James, but because Iguodala started first and grabbed in front of James, Iguodala didn't think about controlling the ball, so, from the beginning, Iguodala's purpose was to hit the ball out and near the halfway line. In this case, your team still has a chance to get the ball.
In today's game, luck was clearly on the Knicks' side, and Iguodala slapped the ball near the halfway line.
Thorton had long been preparing to disarm. So before Daniel Gibson did, he took the ball into his arms.
This time, the knight really has no chance.
The Cavaliers fouled Thorton again, but Thorton, a rookie, hit both free throws, better than the old-timer Iguodala. 89:82ã
The seven-point gap is a bit big.
After halftime, Daniel Gibson hit a three-pointer, but the ball didn't go in.
And the Cavaliers also gave up the game completely after that.
The Knicks were also polite not to attack again. If you do something useless when your opponent has already given up on the game, it is really disrespectful to your opponent. It's easy to be annoying.
In the end, the Knicks won the Christmas battle with a score of 89:82. Successfully defended their home court on this special holiday and defeated the fierce enemy of the attackers, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Chen Jiyuan played well in the first quarter of the game, but after that, he fell into a misunderstanding, but these are not important, the most important thing is that in the last two minutes, Chen Jiyuan's dunk and a block. The team has already established the win.
That's the most important thing to judge a player's performance in a game.
