Chapter 437: Dry Knight (1)

Soon the time came to the day of the game with the Cavaliers, during the day, Chen Jiyuan and James were still eating together and pulling calves, and they became opponents at night, and both of them were the kind of people who would not show mercy at all on the court.

The starting lineup on the Knicks' side is Chen Jiyuan, Love, Stephen Jackson, Jamal Crawford, and Starkey.

Because Sessions and Tony Allen are not fully recovered, it will take time to get back on the field.

The Cavaliers' starters were Zajunas Ilgoskas, Anderson Vallejo, LeBron James, Mo Williams and Alexander Pavlovich.

Originally, when Delonte West was there, West was the starter, but then West was traded away, and not long after the start of the season, he was sent away, so now Pavlovic is in the starting position.

Ben Wallace is injured and cannot play.

As soon as the game began, the Cavaliers quickly took the advantage, and James' strong breakthrough caused Chen Jiyuan's second foul just four minutes after the first quarter of the game, and he fell into foul trouble early, which made Chen Jiyuan very sad.

Head coach Thibodeau had to replace Chen Jiyuan to avoid a third foul.

As a result, at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were led by the Cavaliers by 11 points. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 15:26. Because Chen Jiyuan left the game early, and the defensive method on the Cavaliers' side was James defending Stucky. Starki was originally an advantage as a defender, and physical strength can be considered an advantage, but now facing James, physical strength? Are you kidding me? Facing James against a physically strong and dominant person, is there really a zài on earth?

Then Starkey as a guard, but not known for speed, James's speed is comparable to a guard, very fast and agile, Starkey was very uncomfortable by James's defense, in the first quarter of the game 5 shots 0, did not score a point.

Before Chen Jiyuan got off the court because of foul trouble, he had already made 4 of 4 shots and scored 10 points. It was supposed to be a good scoring momentum and was about to continue, but it was plagued by fouls. This is also a melancholy thing.

Originally, according to this trend, Chen Jiyuan was going to score more than 50 points, but now because of this foul problem, Chen Jiyuan's playing time can only be strictly restricted.

In the second quarter of the game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, Chen Jiyuan returned to the court in the second minute, and after returning to the court, Chen Jiyuan quickly showed his strength and the anger he was aggrieved off the court.

Chen Jiyuan came up under the defense of Zajunas Ilgoskas, and made continuous breakthroughs, feeling that Zajunas Ilgoskas had no effect at all, Chen Jiyuan entered the inside line of the Cavaliers as if he had entered no man's land, although Anderson Vallejo wanted to make up for the defense, but how could Chen Jiyuan give Anderson Vallejo this opportunity, Chen Jiyuan entered the interior line continuously, and then hit two throws on Anderson Vallejo's head, and also caused a foul on Anderson Vallejo, Hit both free throws and a 2+1 for Zajunas Ilgoskas, who managed to score the ball and win the free throw. After this 2+1 was also scored, Chen Jiyuan's score today became 19 points, and now the second quarter of the game has just passed halfway. Chen Jiyuan has already scored 19 points. Obviously, Chen Jiyuan is running for 40 minutes today.

However, although Chen Jiyuan's play is very good, the Knicks can't prevent the Cavaliers' offense, in the second lineup of the Cavaliers, the main difficult point is Daniel Gibson, the current Daniel Gibson is a second-rate star level, but he has the strength of a first-class star in a certain aspect. And the strength of this first-class star is the three-point shot, Gibson is the main player of the team's second team, and for the Cavaliers, Gibson's biggest role is the three-point shot. Gibson is now a runner without the ball, and his ability to catch and shoot is almost perfect. It can be said that in the process of running without the ball, Gibson's thin body helped him in a certain way, because the weight is lighter, so the speed is faster, and Gibson's running position is really endless, just like the young Hamilton back then, but Hamilton's three-point shot is not a good skill, but Gibson is just the opposite, the best is the three-point shot, and even Gibson's current mid-range shooting rate has also increased, but compared with his own three-point shooting ability, It pales in comparison.

Although Chen Jiyuan was working hard to score, Daniel Gibson also scored without lagging behind, hitting two three-pointers in a row, successfully helping the team maintain the lead.

After that, although Chen Jiyuan was still able to score under the defense of Zajunas Ilgoskas and Anderson Vallejo, the Knicks' outside players were unable to limit Gibson's scoring. Especially now that the Knicks' outside defense is the most important and strongest person, Tony Allen is still in his hands, which makes Thibodeau even more anxious. If Tony Allen is not there, it would be an excellent choice to let Tony Allen defend Gibson, but now it can only be two people to shoot Crawford and Starkey to defend Gibson, but one is Jamal Crawford, who has always been so careless on the defensive end, and has never paid attention to defense, and is a killer on the offensive end. The other is that he puts a lot of energy and body into the offensive end, and when defending Gibson, Starkey doesn't have a lot of speed to keep up with. So Gibson always finds a shot. Now when any team plays the Cavaliers, they are very melancholy, because everyone on Earth knows how strong James's breakthrough power is, and Gibson's outside power is also recognized by everyone. Therefore, Gibson's saving zài makes the opponent dare not shrink the defense at all, Gibson's three-point shot is not only a lot of shots, but also maintains a very impressive shooting rate. This became the place where the knight is strong now.

Now the Knicks are facing the problem of not being able to limit the outside players of the Cavaliers. Stephen Jackson is relatively strong, but he can't limit James without being strong, and Stephen Jackson is not particularly good at limiting James, but how can Thibodeau allow an invincible presence in the opponent's team.

Thibodeau naturally made a corresponding defensive arrangement for James, which was supposed to be like this, for James's help defense, supplementary defense, the Knicks have a complete set of tactics to arrange, but the problem is that in the second quarter of the game, Gibson hit two three-pointers in a row, which made the Knicks' tactics change a little, and once James was trapped, James would immediately divide the ball, which made the Knicks a headache.

The game was quite tangled, and by the end of the second quarter, the Knicks were still 10 points behind the Cavaliers. The score on the field was 50:60.

The Knicks' trail continued, and although the Knicks pressed the score close several times, the Cavaliers quickly stretched the score to nearly ten points.

As a result, it wasn't until there were four and a half minutes left in the game that the Knicks finally launched another wave of offensive mini-climaxes.

And in this wave of climax, Chen Jiyuan continued to shoot on the outside, Zajunas Ilgoskas and Anderson Vallejo are useless no matter who they are, Chen Jiyuan just found the feel, that is, you can't stop it.

Today, the Knicks are actually relying on Chen Jiyuan on the offensive end, because Starkey is very tightly limited and basically does not score many points. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan scored crazy points in the third quarter of the game and the fourth quarter of the game. But this is also very normal, because the Cavaliers' interior defense is relatively weak, Zajunas Ilgoskas's footsteps are very problematic, and this is fatal on the defensive end, and although Anderson Vallejo is a good defender, the script is good, and the defender's quite awesome physique, but it still needs to be polished, Chen Jiyuan bullied Anderson Vallejo is a back hit, leaned on and then turned over for a jumper, today is also because Chen Jiyuan is very accurate, so, by the end of the wave of chasing points, Chen Jiyuan has scored 43 points.

The chase that began in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter ended in the final minute and a half of the fourth quarter, and the Knicks managed to tie the score to 101-102. There is only one difference left, and it can be said that the victory or defeat is only a goal scored or not. It's time for this. It's also time to win or lose the absolute game.

Now it's the Cavaliers' possession, the Cavaliers have not scored several goals in a row, and at this time a goal must be scored to break the scoring drought, otherwise, the Cavaliers will be in danger.

And at this time, James, as everyone expected, just like the Cleveland fans expected, really took the ball and did it himself.

Then, James took advantage of Zajunas Ilgoskas's blocking, cut down the lì, and was ready to run all the way to the basket, but this ball Knicks had let go of the others, but focused on James, as soon as he saw James rushing into the inside, Chen Jiyuan intercepted in front, and Stephen Jackson bypassed Zajunas Ilgoskas and began to pursue, and there was a Starkey on the side who wanted to help defend from the side, but, Starki came over, James was on the run, jumped, and then passed the ball to Gibson in the bottom corner, and Gibson received the ball, adjusted, jumped, and made a three-point shot, all in one go. 101:105。

A three-pointer can change the shape of the court in an instant. There is now 1 minute and 21 seconds left in the race. 4 points is definitely a point difference that can be recovered. The problem is that the defense has to be put down in order to save the game.
