Chapter 693: Defeated

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Jiyuan did not perform very well, only scoring 12 points and 12 rebounds. However, at the most critical moment, it was Chen Jiyuan's three-point shot that successfully helped the team establish an advantage and stabilize the victory.

Although he played very poorly on the offensive end, Chen Jiyuan proved his strength and contribution to the team's victory at critical moments on the defensive end.

Garnett's performance in this game was good at the beginning, but since Chen Jiyuan went to defend Garnett, the two began to explode each other. Garnett finished the game with just 15 points and six rebounds. Compared with Chen Jiyuan, the two of them are half a catty and eight taels.

The Knicks were able to win the game today, and the play of Sessions and Curry was indispensable. It was the explosion of two people that helped the team win the game at home.

But winning is something that makes you happy.

The Knicks, who have led 2:0, are now full of momentum up and down. are ready to go to the Celtics' away stadium to send the Celtics home to fish.

At the same time as the Knicks 2:0, the Lakers also achieved the achievement of 2:0 opponents.

Just when everyone thought that the Knicks' road to promotion had been properly paved, and the game between the Knicks and the Lakers was basically decided.

The Knicks, on the other hand, suffered a big defeat in Game 3.

Chen Jiyuan played very well in this game, but one person's awesomeness could not save the whole team.

Chen Jiyuan scored 40 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

Today, the Knicks' outside line collectively lost their crosshairs, and if Thorton was barely able to top it, the Knicks would have lost even more ugly today.

Sessions was a near-nobody, with nine points, seven assists, four rebounds and seven turnovers in a quasi-triple-double. Completely overwhelmed Rondo. became the brightest star of the game.

Iguodala and Stephen Jackson fought as hard as they had before, but it didn't work, and the Knicks dug a 17-point hole in the first half. And the second half of the game has been filling in the hole, although Chen Jiyuan's performance made the Celtics extremely helpless and headache, but there is really no way for one person to change the win or loss of the entire game.

In the end, the Knicks still couldn't fill the hole.

The match ended with a score of 110:95.

Allowing the opponent to score 110 points, in Thibodeau's opinion, is simply a great shame. Especially if this is still in the playoffs, and even more so in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Thibodeau couldn't imagine how his team could defend and score so many points against their opponents.

Thibodeau was really furious about this. It's just a bit of a rage, and this anger lasted the whole game, and Thibodeau wasn't satisfied with the Knicks' defense at any point throughout the game.

The Celtics played a lot of games this time. The Big Three of Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett combined for 62 points.

The three scored "comparable" averages, with Pierce and Ray Allen each scoring 26 points and Garnett scoring 10.

Even while Chen Jiyuan was crazy about slashing points, he did not forget to defend Garnett.

The rest of the Celtics didn't miss the scores, with Rondo scoring 14, Tony Allen 10, and Rasheed Wallace and Glen Davis 12 and 14 respectively.

No matter how good Chen Jiyuan's performance is, he can't beat the seven people who scored doubles.

After Celtic's first win at home, their momentum has also recovered.

The Celtics definitely want to be like the Heat in previous years, with 0:2 down, to turn four sets in a row. Then win the game.

To do this, Celtic must at least make the score 2:2 on their home court, otherwise, the score of 1:3 will be overturned, and the difficulty will rise again.

Although the team lost the first game.

However, now the outside world is more and more recognizant of Chen Jiyuan's defense.

Chen Jiyuan defended Garnett very well in two consecutive games, the first game was okay, Garnett and Chen Jiyuan at least exploded each other, Chen Jiyuan's performance in that game was not very good, and he left Garnett some face, but this second game was different.

Chen Jiyuan and Garnett were directly opposite from the beginning, and the consequence of the direct dialogue was that Chen Jiyuan finally slashed 40 points, while Garnett only got 10.

This time, even the last fig leaf was torn off.

After these two games, Chen Jiyuan's defense is strong.

Many people used to think that Chen Jiyuan's defense was just a level that did not lag behind, but Chen Jiyuan, who had studied with Ewing, was really very confident in his defense, and Chen Jiyuan was confident in defending any inside player. This confidence was absolutely not possessed by Chen Jiyuan before.

But now, Chen Jiyuan feels more and more that his strength on the defensive end has really improved considerably.

Many times, Chen Jiyuan is arranged by Thibodeau because the job is to assist in the defense, so when the ball holder starts to play singles, Chen Jiyuan will often distract his attention on the ball holder, and at this time, Chen Jiyuan is not simply stupid to watch, but to watch the actions of these players, and at the same time observe the actions of the defensive players, and when the offensive player passes the defender, Chen Jiyuan will step forward to make up the defense, and afterwards Chen Jiyuan will recall, how did the offensive player just act, where is the main point of the action? How to defend against this move. How to see through this feint.

Chen Jiyuan, who often thinks like this. In the end, he slowly became more and more confident on the defensive end, and in the actual operation process, Chen Jiyuan also found that his defense is indeed getting better and better.

What Ewing explained to himself at the beginning is now getting better and better digested.

One game may have been accidental, but two games in a row have limited Garnett very well, which is telling.

The West side is almost a repeat of the East side, and the Suns, who returned to their home court, also played a run and won a game on their home court.

Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, home of the Celtics, Boston's North Shore Garden Arena was held as scheduled.

Everything was so similar to the last game, and the Knicks' perimeter players still didn't find their senses.

The Knicks are still relying on Chen Jiyuan to support him alone, and in the first half of the game, Chen Jiyuan's own hand is indeed very hot.

And the Celtics' defense of Chen Jiyuan is indeed in place, except for the five-man bag, Rivers really used all the methods he could use. But I just can't prevent it.

Just like the ball just now, Chen Jiyuan singled with his back, Garnett was behind him, and Pierce came up on the other side to help defend, but Chen Jiyuan ignored Pierce's defense at all, and after hitting Garnett, there was a jump shot space, and he jumped directly. Although Pierce's physical fitness is quite good, it is still a little difficult to block Chen Jiyuan, especially when Pierce didn't expect Chen Jiyuan to shoot directly, and the ball entered the basket steadily.

Next time, it's still the same scene, this time Pierce is mentally prepared, knowing that Chen Jiyuan is likely to ignore his defense and jump shot directly, so he must block one this time, let Chen Jiyuan Zhang remember, and let Chen Jiyuan know that you Uncle Pi is still your uncle. Don't be presumptuous.

Chen Jiyuan is still on his back this time, Pierce is from the upper line, and Chen Jiyuan is still the same. action, after hitting Garnett, he rolled over directly to the baseline direction, and then jumped to shoot. The action is very coherent, Chen Jiyuan is just such a simple action, and he has a little distance, but it is this little distance, which is the distance that Pierce can never cross,

Pierce's ball could only reach out to Chen Jiyuan's eyes, but he just couldn't reach the ball, and this is the effect Chen Jiyuan wanted, even if Pierce sealed his hand on Chen Jiyuan's eyes, even if Chen Jiyuan was completely unable to see the basket, but the ball still went in.

Pierce was genuinely helpless. Garnett was even more helpless, Chen Jiyuan's strength was really strong, when Chen Jiyuan suddenly hit him, Garnett really had no way to jump forward quickly after the impact. It can't be helped, although it's all Garnett who is hard. But there is no way to make up for the physical disadvantage with this, especially when the dominant player will take advantage of his strengths.

Chen Jiyuan not only dared to shoot when facing the bag, but also was able to find teammates who cut into the inside line. Direct pass assists.

In the first half of the game, under the tandem of Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks were able to barely dig a big hole early like in the last game.

In the first half of the game, Chen Jiyuan alone scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Although there is no block, Garnett is still a little unable to let go of Chen Jiyuan's defense.

Garnett's performance struggled a bit, and the Celtics relied on outside play to maintain their lead.

The half-time score was 50:41.

Chen Jiyuan scored more than half of the score alone.

However, the Knicks at least barely kept the score difference in the single digits in this game, and if they were digging a big hole close to 20 points, Chen Jiyuan doubted that everyone still had the motivation to play.

At least at this point, the game is still quite promising.

Just after the third quarter of the game began, sure enough, the hope in Chen Jiyuan's mouth came.

Chen Jiyuan played too long in the first half of the game, and at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Thibodeau let Chen Jiyuan rest for a while.

And at this time, the five people on the Knicks court are Curry, Iguodala, Barnes, Ibaka and Ty Gibson.

It's this lineup that quickly set off a little whirlwind.
