I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 131 Battle Knight (3)

Clark and Rice quickly changed the subject.

James: "Don't take it to heart, he is indeed very strong, but he is far from surpassing you. After all, he has just played a few games. He may be very talented, and he may be very powerful in the future, but you have to believe in yourself , you are the best guard in the NBA!"

This sentence is very useful to Owen. Owen has gone through countless battles, so his mentality is not so easy to collapse.

With 30 seconds left in the first half, the Knicks relied on Jiang Mu to imitate Irving's goal and scored again, leading the score again.

45: 44.

Irving held the ball and began to press time. James used Love's off-ball screen to reach a 45-degree angle from inside the three-point line and received a pass from Irving.

James dribbled and stepped back again, leaving the space needed for the charge.

When there was not much left in the offensive time, James started countless operations like key balls.

Everyone seems to know that James is going to shoot a three-pointer laterally, but no one has ever blocked it, and this time Anthony is no exception.

Amidst the cheers of the Cavaliers fans, James still made the ball.

At 45:47, the Cavaliers took advantage again, with only 6 seconds left in the first half.

Fisher didn't call a timeout, because Jiang Mu rushed forward after receiving the ball.

Jiang Mu first passed JR, and then leaned on Irving who was attached to him and went straight into the three-point line. After jumping up, facing Irving's block, he quickly took the ball from his right hand and changed it to his left hand, his body floated in the air Under the basket, he threw the ball with one hand with his left hand, and lifted it straight up.

"This jelly made a layup? Is it Owen's move again?"

"This is to piss Owen to death!"

Although the ball hit the backboard straight up, Jiang Mu's left hand turned, and the basketball also hit the backboard during the high-speed rotation, then changed direction and got into the net.

The ancestor of the Jiang family: "Cut! It's just an imitation, and he only scored 8 points in the first half."

Some black fans agreed, and Jiang Mu fans responded immediately.

"Are you fucking Chinese? Can't we see a good defender? Are you capable of doing it? You'll probably get wet in your crotch when you go up, let alone score."

Black fan: "Didn't Jiang Mu score 8 points in the first half? Owen scored 13 points."

"You have short-sightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, glaucoma and cataracts? Jiang Mu made 6 shots, and Irving made 14 shots. Is this comparable? Jiang Mu has 7 assists, while Irving only has 3."

The two sides entered the lounge with a tied score.

Blatter: "We did a good job in the second half of the first half. We trailed by more than ten points and tied. In the second half, we played the offense we are good at. The Knicks will not steal the victory from our home court!"

James: "Jiang is indeed the best rookie guard in recent years. He has reduced his shots compared to the previous few games. Kyrie, don't let him imitate your movements and make you feel bad. Imitation is imitation after all, and you can never surpass it. , It’s better than Kobe imitating Jordan.”

Irving: "Don't worry, he's still too young, but his defense is indeed very good on the back line!"

The Cavaliers were stunned: Irving would praise his rookie guard?

Immediately, someone realized: Irving's shooting percentage in this game is really horrible!This is just a common method used by many NBA stars to find reasons for themselves. No wonder!
The Knicks locker room on the other side.

Fisher: "Jiang's defense against Kyrie Irving was very effective in the first half, but the Cavaliers slowly found their own rhythm, especially LeBron's breakthrough was too lethal, and he also had a good pass , Love can not only win at the basket, but also hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from James, we still have to do a good job of defense in the second half!"

Anthony: "My defensive range is biased towards the inside. LeBron always holds the ball outside. If I don't keep up for a while, the person next to me will extend his hand. He has already made two three-pointers!"

Jiang Mu thought for a while: "How about... I go to defend LeBron?"

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Mu chuckled: "I just want to try the feeling of defending LeBron, find out the gap, and at least know my own defensive problems!"

Anthony: "Forget it, Irving may open up again in this way, let me do it, the big deal is that the coach makes more adjustments and substitutions, if you face James after the defense, I believe he will not let go of this misplaced singles opportunity .”

Jiang Mu nodded, knowing that his own thoughts really shouldn't disrupt the normal team's defensive strategy.

At the beginning of the second half, Anthony and Lopez temporarily stayed on the sidelines, and Williams and the rarely played backup center Lou Amundson temporarily entered the game.

Although Amundson basically can't attack, he still defends well. Fisher also wants to use Amundson's abundant physical strength to buy time for Lopez and Anthony to rest.

After all, James put too much defensive pressure on the two of them after entering the paint.

Galloway and O'Quinn also substituted in the third minute of the second half. At this time, the Knicks turned out to be Jiang Mu playing as a starter with four substitutes.

Except for Amundson, the other four are all small, obviously wanting to play fast.

Blatt adjusted in time, taking advantage of the Knicks' four energetic substitutes to replace James and Love.

Rice: "Coach Blatt's substitution is very targeted. The opponent obviously wants to play fast. LeBron and Love will inevitably consume a lot of physical strength on the court. Compared with the advantages and strengths in position, physical strength is very important. The fourth quarter is what's needed the most."

Clark: "Indeed! In this way, the matchup between Irving and Jiang is very attractive, but the Cavaliers are currently on the court with Dellavedova, JR-Smith, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jay Folsom is obviously stronger than the rest of the Knicks, it seems that the third quarter is a good time for the Cavaliers to open up the score!"

Rice: "That's right! Coach Fisher also wants to let Anthony and Lopez get enough rest, but the Cavaliers' bench players actually have an advantage. If the point difference widens, then Anthony It’s not easy to chase after playing.”

Blatt's lineup adjustment is very meaningful. He knows that Irving didn't take advantage of Jiang Mu's defense today, and he is a little angry. Taking advantage of the time when the Knicks have 4 substitutes, the Cavaliers can take advantage of the depth of the bench. Gained the advantage.

And Owen has absolute right to shoot at this time, and the end of James and Love will make Owen less scruples.

Blatter's plan and the guesses in many people's minds deviated in the next 4 minutes!
Although Jiang Mu couldn't limit Irving like he did in the first half, Irving, who had countless offensive skills, scored two goals after his touch warmed up, but Irving couldn't limit Jiang Mu after his speed attribute was improved again.

Jiang Mu didn't get too many shots, but the ball after the breakthrough was very threatening.

第三节打到第7分12秒，尼克斯队竟然以59:53领先了骑士队6分。
