Chapter 519: Filling the Pit (1)

At halftime, the Knicks dug themselves a 22-point hole. However, that is by no means a reason for the Knicks to give up the game. After all, the most recent, and most realistic example, is their opponents. Last year's Finals, after trailing by 20 points at halftime, it only took one quarter to fill the hole. At the same time, he won the competition in the end. This is a living example. Of course, there will be a certain amount of motivation for the Knicks.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Celtics took the lead in attacking, and Chen Jiyuan felt that the first goal should be defended, otherwise, it would not bode well for the team's morale.

This ball, Rondo broke through with the ball himself, maybe it was the first half of the game to play confidently, this ball, Chen Jiyuan sat on the inside, but Rondo went straight to Chen Jiyuan, after Rondo rushed to the inside, he stuck to Chen Jiyuan, wanting to cause Chen Jiyuan's foul, but Chen Jiyuan did not move forward, but waited for Rondo to shoot, although Rondo has a long arm span, but it is not difficult to shoot this ball in front of Chen Jiyuan. After all, although Chen Jiyuan's arm span is not particularly outstanding, it is definitely not a defect. Unlike Griffin, although he has a non-human bounce, his arm span is a hard injury.

Chen Jiyuan is 2.13 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.27 meters. This arm span is less than the top, but it is still more than the bottom. So Rondo wants to shoot against Chen Jiyuan, it is definitely not a wise choice, this ball, Rondo under Chen Jiyuan's interference, after the ball hit the rebound, he didn't even touch the basket, and was directly grabbed by Lefu This rebound.

Although there is no way to block this ball, Chen Jiyuan will definitely not let Rondo shoot comfortably.

Love grabbed the rebound and passed it to Sessions. After Sessions received the ball, there was no chance of a fast break, and Sessions was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

After half-time, the pass was given to Starkey, and in this game, Thibodeau still let Starkey start again, and gave Starkey a lot of time, as if the ice did not exist in the last quarter of the game.

After Starkey received the ball, he paused for a while, and only after all five of the Knicks were in place, Starkey began to attack, and Starkey's offense was relatively simple, under the defense of Ray Allen, Starkey shook left and right, and then suddenly pulled up and jumped, this ball, Starkey was a little anxious, the ball knocked the basket, and then collapsed.

However, although Starkey's shot did not go in, on the other side, when Lefu and Garnett were stuck in the basket position, they suddenly found that a Chen Jiyuan appeared behind him, Chen Jiyuan was entangled with Perkins on the outside, and Chen Jiyuan was in the key position, so Perkins was also pulled out, and Perkins did not dare to let Chen Jiyuan stay alone in the high position. For that would be tantamount to an act of death. Now the Celtics have a huge lead, and it is a situation where you don't die. So, Perkins is still very cautious. Because last year there was a death tease in front of them, and the championship trophy was given to them. Perkins also went through that game.

Perkins was pulled out, though. However, if you want to return to the inside line, the speed is slow, Chen Jiyuan has already bypassed Perkins and rushed into the three-second zone first. See Starkey throw the basketball.

The ball flew in the direction of the free throw line. Chen Jiyuan's ball ran back from the outside, in the right direction. Chen Jiyuan jumped up, directly controlled the basketball with one hand in the air, and then violently dunked the ball into the basket. 62:42。

This awesome deduction made the players who were already motivated by Chen Jiyuan more confident.

After Chen Jiyuan landed, he ran back on the sidelines, and then fiercely hammered his chest against the audience outside the stadium, which was a very obvious demonstration. Chen Jiyuan's behavior, of course, caused crazy boos from the fans. But Chen Jiyuan didn't care. Because Chen Jiyuan knew that he would never come to Boston to play in his life. There is only one reason, and that is because Chen Jiyuan thinks that the Boston Celtics' jersey is really not good-looking. Green. It's not the type that Chen Jiyuan likes.

Chen Jiyuan returned to the three-second zone and continued to defend diligently.

The Celtics attacked again, this time attacking, after Rondo broke through two steps, he passed the ball to Ray Allen outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and after receiving the ball, Ray Allen made a shooting action, but when he waited for Starkey to step forward to block, he walked inside from the side of Starkey, and Ray Allen was going to slip the ball to the bottom line. However, Chen Jiyuan had already seen Ray Allen's actions, and naturally planned to come forward to block Ray Allen's ball.

When Ray Allen came to the vicinity of the basket, he made a layup motion, but when Chen Jiyuan reached out to seal it, he suddenly retracted again, and then flew to the other side of the basket and made a layup. Ray Allen's waist was hard and squeezed out a little bit of shooting space, but Chen Jiyuan's ball blocked the shooting space well, and Ray Allen's shooting space was very narrow. As a result, the ball hit the basket, but unfortunately the angle was too bad, although Ray Allen added a spin, but it was still not enough, and the ball still did not go in.

This ball, Chen Jiyuan jumped to block Ray Allen's shot, but after Chen Jiyuan landed, the ball was still in the air, and Chen Jiyuan jumped directly again and grabbed the rebound.

After successfully protecting the rebound, Chen Jiyuan passed the ball directly to Stephen Jackson, who was running in front, and wanted to launch a fast attack, but the Celtics' retreat was also very fast, and did not give the Knicks this opportunity.

Stephen Jackson had no choice but to give the ball to Sessions, and the Knicks slowly organized the offense again.

Sessions held the ball on the outside, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block and dismantle Sessions, after blocking it, Chen Jiyuan went down directly, Sessions held the basketball high, and directly hit the ground hard, the ball speed was very fast, and the ball went directly to Chen Jiyuan's hand, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he didn't have to shoot it. Start in three direct steps. Although Garnett wanted to step forward to make up for the defense, after seeing Chen Jiyuan's speed, he still gave up wisely.

Chen Jiyuan's ball, when he came to the basket, he clasped heavily with a fierce hand, as if he wanted to pull the basket down. 62:44。

Two murderous dunks in a row instantly made the wind on the court a little wrong. Of course, the Celtics players have noticed this, but there is a sense of powerlessness.

The Celtics attacked again, and this time Rondo went inside again, but Sessions reached for the ball behind Rondo and fouled. Rondo made a shot, so the ball gave Rondo two free throws.

However, Rondo's free throws were not so reliable. I missed the first penalty.

After a high-five with his teammates, Rajon Rondo once again steadied himself and prepared for the free throw basket again. In fact, Rajon Rondo's preparation when preparing for the free throw basket was quite good, but when Rajon Rondo actually made free throws, his posture was completely out of shape. Rondo does the "Ray Allen try" free throw preparation move with his right elbow "inward", which is what any basketball coach asks for in his first lesson. But look at Rondo's right elbow when he actually made the free throw, and it was completely "outward".

Rondo's prep moves differ from those of a real free throw, including his control of his body, the angle of view of his head, and the direction of his right elbow. Even if these two are only subtle differences, they are enough to make a "striking iron" for such a small basket. It's the devil in the details.

Parents often tell their children to sit upright, but the Celtics coach should probably tell them to stay upright when making free throws.

This is a very bad habit and leads to very unstable consequences, which is why good shooters will keep their shooting elbows "inward". Proper posture requires the elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, and balls to be in a straight line perpendicular to the basket, which can also produce very efficient results. If you don't believe me, you can look at the high-level free-throw shooters who definitely have their elbows "inside" all the time.

Maybe what Rondo needs is his habit of shooting in practice. Judging from the preparation before the free throw, Rondo was still working hard in training, but judging from his real free throw posture, it was as ugly as ever.

If you think about it, the free throw basket is much less affected by the rhythm of the outside body than when shooting on the court. Unlike shooting on the court, the completion of a free throw is more like the work of a shooting machine, which is always the same preparation, taking the ball, and shooting. So, if you can maintain good habits, then the free throw basket is actually not that difficult.

Rondo's second free throw was missed again. Chen Jiyuan quickly jammed Perkins, and then successfully accepted the rebound.

After the third quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan was full of energy. Grab the rebound and be full of momentum, and it is this momentum that is infecting the teammates on the court little by little.

After Rajon Rondo missed two free throws, the Knicks launched an attack again, this time, Sessions took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's blocking, this time Sessions himself rushed to the inside, Garnett stepped forward to make up for the defense, Sessions immediately gave the ball to the bottom line and waited for the ball in the hands of Lefou, Lefu did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and shot the ball directly. Lefou's jumper hit it steadily.

Because the Knicks have Chen Jiyuan in the low post, Lefu has been practicing his shooting ability since he entered the league, or since he entered the NBA. He is even preparing to develop his three-point shooting ability.
