Chapter 491: Matchup Analysis

In the first quarter of the game, although Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks' super main player, played very poorly, fortunately, his teammates gave strength, so the team was able to fall behind the Knicks by only one point.

In the second quarter of the competition between the two sides, the Knicks had the upper hand, the Knicks' bench strength is actually quite good, Carl Landry as a rookie personally selected by Chen Jiyuan, Latin, Britney's choice of Tongguò, the strength is definitely there, but the future development prospects are not very good, and the space for development is not particularly large, and no one dares to guarantee that Landry can quickly adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, in case Landry can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA in his early years, And then later, when the follow-up development potential is not enough, then this draft pick is scrapped. That's why all the management doesn't like Landry. will let Landry fall to the second round.

And now Landry has shown his resilience with the Knicks, and Landry is very strong to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and he has adapted well.

This season is Landry's second season, and Landry has not played as much time in the Knicks as he did in his previous life when he was in the Rockets, so his natural number has also decreased, but as a second-round pick, Landry has averaged 25.3 minutes per game this season, averaging 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, which is also absolutely qualified. Especially when you know that the Knicks got this guy, but they paid a little bit of a small price. It just took a little money to pick this guy in the second round.

However, if the Knicks want to trade Landry, it is estimated that they will not be able to exchange for a particularly good player, because everyone knows that Landry's development limit is there, and no one is a fool. However, of course, there will be those who are willing to exchange the chips for this Landry, because Landry's table is indeed quite good, although the future development ceiling may be slightly low, but if Landry is not expected to become the pillar of the team, then Landry is still worth using.

At home, the Knicks are in the second round of the lineup. Jamal Crawford still has the strength, but because of his poor defense, he will not be liked by the manager.

But Jamal Crawford's offense was very good. Although the offensive efficiency cannot be guaranteed, you must know that once Crawford finds his touch, then Crawford's scoring ability is still a headache for the opponent, and Crawford is not completely devoid of defensive ability, but because of the body's tendency to be thin, coupled with poor defensive awareness and defensive willingness, it will lead Crawford's defense is not very good.

Although Wilson Chandler still had a bad performance on the offensive end and no bright spots on the defensive end, everyone had no expectations for this guy. This 23rd pick rookie is already completely out of the question. Staying with the Knicks will only make Wilson Chandler worse and worse. Trading Wilson Chandler this morning is something that Knicks management and Wilson Chandler himself want.

In the bench competition between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, the Knicks have an overall advantage, and in these games, in fact, the Knicks' benches are able to beat the Cavaliers' benches and provide advantages for the Knicks' players. However, sometimes in order to avoid this situation, Cavaliers' head coach Brown will greatly reduce the playing time of substitute players and change to let the main players play, many times, the main players of the Cavaliers play more than 40 minutes, and James has played an astonishing 45 minutes, 42 minutes, 43 minutes, and 45 minutes in these games. On average, in the series between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, the Cavaliers relied on the most, the biggest supporter, and James played an average of 43.75 minutes per game. This time is definitely unreasonable. Therefore, the price that the Cavaliers need to pay may be that in the next games, the body will more or less affect James's appearance. Especially if the two teams fight to the seventh game, then James's body will definitely make James feel powerless. Because if he plays more than 40 minutes in six consecutive games, even if James is a real orangutan and really an outsider, he will be tired, and there will be times when he can't keep up, so if he really plays the seventh game, even though it is the home court of the Cavaliers, the Knicks will definitely not be at a disadvantage because they play away from home.

Not only James, but also Zajunas Ilgoskas's playing time has increased significantly compared to the regular season, and in these games, Zajunas Ilgoskas has played 40 minutes, 35 minutes, 38 minutes, and 41 minutes respectively.

As a player with a height of 2.21, although Zajunas Ilgoskas's body is not insufficient, it is definitely not comparable to a pervert like James, even at this current intensity, Zajunas Ilgoskas has begun to show fatigue.

The smaller players are a little better, such as James and Gibson, after all, they are both young, but you should take care of the old man, Zajunas Ilgoskas is an old man who has been working hard in the league for ten years. It's not that you've just entered the league for a year or two, you're young, with old arms and legs, Brown, can't you know how to respect the old and love the young.

The more this series drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Knicks, the main reason is the advantage of the bench, and the Cavaliers forcibly increase the playing time of the players in order to make up for this advantage, which will lead the players to suffer from the problem of lack of physical support in subsequent games. The further back you go, the more the problem will be exposed.

But Brown is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, there are only a few people in the team, and there are only a few people who can play a good game in one attack, what else can I do? Aleksandar Pavlovich mentioned that the starter is enough to take care of the bench lineup, otherwise, Brown would have started Gibson a long time ago, although Alexander Pavlovich entered the NBA in the same year as James, but it has been proved in practice that this kid is not a qualified starter, at least he does not have the strength to start in a championship team. Wally Szzebiak is a good player, once an All-Star, but now that he has aged, he is sometimes unable to play as a substitute. Soon, at the end of the season, Szzczebiak will be retiring. In that case, the Cavaliers' bench lineup will be even weaker, and now they can barely maneuver with the average team by relying on Gibson and Szzerbiak.

There are even times when Gibson's touch comes, and it's normal to blow up any team's bench. However, under normal circumstances, compared to the Knicks' bench, the Cavaliers' are still a little weaker.

In fact, this year is not the year that Chen Jiyuan imagined to be able to compete for the championship, but now the growth of Sessions and Starkey has completely deviated from the trajectory imagined by Chen Jiyuan, which makes Chen Jiyuan see hope.

The growth of these two people is so amazing that Chen Jiyuan is completely confused, why did they become so strong. Starki's strength is not as good as that, and he is a pretty good instant combat force, so the Knicks chose Starkey.

Sessions' growth made Chen Jiyuan feel speechless, although Sessions has not grown to the point of being particularly awesome, but at least he is a qualified starting point guard of a strong team, his three-point shooting ability is gradually developing, and his organizational ability is also a hand, in terms of rebounding, in the Knicks, only those who have the enthusiasm to grab rebounds can be on the position, although Sessions has the advantage of grabbing rebounds as a point guard in the body, but at least it is not a disadvantage. Add positivity, then Sessions' average rebounds per game is okay.

It is precisely because of the rapid growth of these two people that Chen Jiyuan has fantasized about the championship this season.

This season, Chen Jiyuan is going to attack the long-sought championship ring.

In this second quarter of the game with the Cavaliers, although Chen Jiyuan did not play for a long time, his appearance was still not good. changed the original 5 shots and 0 shots to the current 7 shots and 1 shot. At least compared to the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan's performance has grown.

Chen Jiyuan still relied on his teammates' thighs, and then in this quarter of the game, the Cavaliers were able to continue to maintain the lead because they replaced the main players early, and the Cavaliers were able to continue to maintain the lead at the end of the half. The score was 48:50.

It's said that the Cavaliers are ahead, but it's actually a matter of one ball, and falling behind by two points at halftime is nothing at all.

This battle of Tianwang Mountain is very important for both sides, and if the Knicks lose this game, then the Knicks' hope of advancing is very small. You know, the team's next two games will be "guests" in Cleveland, and Cleveland will not be a little polite to either the fans or the players. I'm going to die. If you lose Game 5, it's going to be tough to win two straight away games in the playoffs.

So, this game is a game that the Knicks can't lose.

But now Chen Jiyuan's table is indeed disappointing, 7 shots and 1 hit, obviously Chen Jiyuan himself is also very anxious, at halftime, he sat there silently, and kept beating his head. Chen Jiyuan knows that he must calm down, but it is really difficult to be in a hurry in such a situation, Chen Jiyuan is a passionate player in the final analysis, not the kind of person who can calm down anytime and anywhere.

However, there are people in the Knicks who can calm down.
