Chapter 449: Fighting

After the game restarted and the Magic were back on the court, the Magic were ready to attack again.

Howard gets the ball inside. Because Lewis stood outside the three-point line, Lefu was also pulled out of the interior line, and now Howard and Chen Jiyuan are left on the inside.

Howard singled Chen Jiyuan, and the defense of the knight Chen Jiyuan was really not that bad, but the reason why Chen Jiyuan could not show Howard's level of defense was because Chen Jiyuan's position in the overall defense and so on did not have the essence of Xi. However, in terms of personal defense, when defending a single person, Chen Jiyuan can still achieve quite good results many times.

Howard singled Chen Jiyuan's ball, it was difficult for Howard to find a good opportunity, not that Chen Jiyuan would be able to defend against Howard, but Chen Jiyuan had done everything he could, if Howard could not be affected, it was Howard's strong offensive power. It's not Chen Jiyuan's defensive problem.

For example, this ball, Chen Jiyuan defended Howard, Howard went to the middle, and then it was directly a hook hand, Chen Jiyuan had already kept up with Howard's footsteps, Chen Jiyuan jumped up and wanted to block Howard's ball, but Howard separated Chen Jiyuan with his arm, so that the distance between Chen Jiyuan and Howard was not enough for Chen Jiyuan to block, this ball, Chen Jiyuan had tried his best to interfere, but the ball still entered the basket.

Howard's offense this season is a slight improvement from his previous life, and compared to Howard last season, that is a lot of improvement, especially in the self-help offensive ability. 52:45。

Howard scored a goal on his side, which temporarily stabilized the Magic's military spirit. It can also restore a little confidence to the Magic players. However, it is best to take advantage of the heat of the hand and lose the confidence of the opponent in the game. Chen Jiyuan didn't want to let go of this opportunity now.

Chen Jiyuan received the ball and prepared to single Howard, and Starkey's pass was still a little frizzy, but fortunately, it was not so easy to be cut off. But during the time that Starkey played point guard, the number of Starkey's turnovers also went up instantly. It can be seen from this that although Starkey is still good in terms of ball control and passing awareness, he is much worse in terms of passing selection and overall view. This is also the limitation of Starkey now, playing point guard requires honing his big picture and passing options, but when playing point guard, Starkey's outside line is a bit too bad. It's basically the kind of player who can be released from the outside when the key is critical, which is also a headache for a shooting guard.

Chen Jiyuan has singled Howard many times throughout the season, mainly in the game between the Knicks and the Magic, the two sides have the strongest spears and shields in the league, and as long as they touch each other, there will be a fierce collision.

Chen Jiyuan played the ball with the basket on his back, without any special skills, nor did he make any feints, he just arched with his strength, and after hitting it, he directly turned over and jumped, which was really speechless. Because such an approach is really too bummer. As long as Chen Jiyuan can quickly find the crosshairs of shooting after the collision of forces, this move is simply shameless. This ball, Chen Jiyuan's fingers and wrists felt very good when he shot, and the ball hit steadily. 54:45。

Looking back, Howard once again singled Chen Jiyuan, Thibodeau is a person who likes Jordan's rule very much, whether it is defending Kobe Bryant or defending Howard, Thibodeau has applied this rule many times in a certain period of time. It's the same now, let the other four people look at the opponent to the death, and resolutely don't include Howard. Let Chen Jiyuan defend Howard alone, no matter whether Howard scores or not, he will not let others wrap up, in this case, it is impossible for Howard to pass the ball to others and let others score.

Howard chose to single Chen Jiyuan again, Howard still walked in the middle, and then suddenly turned around, but he did not pass Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan still occupied a defensive position. After Howard turned around, he suddenly turned around and went back, Chen Jiyuan didn't keep up this time, Howard directly hooked his hand, Chen Jiyuan could only reach out and mean.

Although Chen Jiyuan's defense didn't keep up with this ball, Howard's own hand seemed to have something wrong, and Howard's strength on this ball was a little small. The basketball can get to the front of the basket and then collapse again. The moment Chen Jiyuan saw Howard's shot, he instantly stuck Howard behind him, preventing Howard from having a position to grab rebounds, no matter whether the ball went in or not, only by maintaining such vigilance can he protect his team's backcourt rebounds. The slightest slack can cost you that rebound, especially if your opponent is Howard. Keep in mind that Howard's frontcourt rebounding is one of the most dangerous men in the league.

Chen Jiyuan's behavior quickly brought him benefits, because the ball didn't go in, Howard wanted to fight for the rebound, but Chen Jiyuan stretched out his hand. hugged Howard behind him, and didn't let Howard have this opportunity at all, after Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound, Howard didn't let him have a good chance to launch a fast attack, Howard interfered with Chen Jiyuan's side, so that Chen Jiyuan had no way to make a long throw, Chen Jiyuan could only obediently give the ball to Starkey next to him, and let Starkey move forward with the ball.

After halftime, Chen Jiyuan was in the high position, and after receiving the ball, he faced Howard's defense, Howard's defensive range was all over the court, no matter where it was, it was Howard's defensive range, thanks to his super fast footwork.

Chen Jiyuan is near the three-point line, but no one dares to let go of Chen Jiyuan here, Chen Jiyuan maintains a fairly high shooting percentage in this position.

Howard paid attention to Chen Jiyuan's every move, Chen Jiyuan raised the ball, but Howard didn't eat this set at all, however, Chen Jiyuan was precisely because Howard would not eat such a disguise, so he really got up directly and jumped and shot, this ball, Chen Jiyuan added some backs when he shot, to be honest, when he leaned back, the hit rate was really difficult to maintain, but this ball, Howard was in front of him, Chen Jiyuan was worried that if he really pulled it out directly, there would be a little bit of threat, in order to avoid this threat, Chen Jiyuan decided to add a slight back, sure enough, Howard saw Chen Jiyuan jump up directly, and quickly jumped up to interfere with Chen Jiyuan's shot, but although Howard had worked hard, there was still no way to stop Chen Jiyuan from scoring this goal. 56:45。

The margin has finally widened to double digits.

But this is not the end of the story, the problem is that after that, the Magic attacked again, Ralph Alston received a pass from Tekoglou from beyond the three-point range, and tried to shoot a three-pointer, but it was obviously lacking touch, and Starkey's defense was quite tight. You know, the reason why Starkey was able to hold Crawford down and rise to the position so quickly was because of the credit of the defense and the aggressiveness on the defensive end. That's where Starkey is smart, knowing that Thibodeau is a manager who judges people by looking at other people's defenses. So after Thibodeau came, he was more active, worked harder on the defensive end, and made a pretty good impression on Thibodeau. Thibodeau, who has the impression of this, hopes that the Knicks will be able to sign Starkey with a fixed salary.

Ralph Alston missed a three-point shot, but Howard grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, this ball was Chen Jiyuan did not protect the backcourt rebound, the ball jumped a little far, and Chen Jiyuan was not in a good position.

After Howard grabbed the ball, he quickly jumped twice, and shot directly through Chen Jiyuan's hook hand, but unfortunately the ball still didn't go in, Howard's hand seemed to be really wrong, the ball was a bit powerful, and it hit the neck of the basket, Howard jumped again, trying to grab the rebound, but before Howard touched the ball, the ball had been controlled by the other hand, if Howard grabbed two rebounds in a row, Then Chen Jiyuan will definitely be scolded to death by Xibodu.

Chen Jiyuan put the rebound in his arms, and then quickly turned around, wanted to move forward, and in the run, gave the ball to Stephen Jackson on the other side, Stephen Jackson quickly ran forward with the ball, and after half court, Stephen Jackson directly gave the ball to Starkey in the bottom corner, Starkey slipped the ball with the ball, and looked like he was ready to make a layup here on the bottom line. However, in the face of Lewis and Tekoglu's supplemental defense, Starki did not force himself, but at this time gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan, who was going inside, and after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he flew directly to the basket. However, Tekoglu, who came back to his senses, directly pressed his hands on Chen Jiyuan's chest and directly knocked Chen Jiyuan to the ground. This ball is quite dangerous. Chen Jiyuan fell heavily to the ground, feeling that his back hurt very much, but when he lost his balance, Chen Jiyuan still threw the ball out, but the ball was not lucky to enter the basket.

Turkoglou's behavior instantly made the Knicks' players angry, you know, the Knicks have a boss who is not afraid of things, and naturally there will not be a group of timid partners who are afraid of things.

Stephen Jackson's temper tantrum was bearable, and he pushed Turkoglu when he came up.

Fortunately, the referees are already quite experienced in this kind of thing, and they have already rushed to the scene of the crime when Chen Jiyuan was viciously fouled. Then after Stephen Jackson pushed Trkoglou, he quickly hugged Stephen Jackson and Tecoglou, and quickly separated the two of them.

The Knicks players and the Magic players quickly felt that the two men were separated in between. But the Knicks are obviously very unfriendly here, originally Lefu can be said to be a pretty good child, nothing will be light, the positive energy of the child's paper, was damaged by Chen Jiyuan, the main thing is that the two of them always train together, and they will always be affected by Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan's concept is to be happy. I'm not afraid of anyone on the court, and whoever dares to bully my brother, I'll let him know why my fist is so big.

In his previous life, Lefu played for so many years and never fought, and this time was the first time in his previous life and this life. Here, Kurtney Lee is pushing Tony Allen here, and Tony Allen is not a good person, so he naturally pushed back hard. Here Howard opened his hand to separate the two men, and Love opened Howard's hand on Tony Allen's chest.

The head coaches of both sides saw that something was wrong and quickly pulled the two pairs apart.

The commotion didn't last long, Chen Jiyuan lay on the ground for a while, slowed down, and after standing up, the commotion was over.

The referee still gave a "fair" decision, and the two sides were on the top 50 boards. Stephen Jackson and Turkoglu both received a technical foul. Tekoglu's maneuver was too dangerous. And Stephen Jackson took the initiative to stir up trouble after that.

But no one was expelled. The Knicks, on the other hand, were awarded two free throws and one throw.
