Chapter 885 The free-spirited artist

Jeff Van Gundy said: "Stephen Curry controlled the ball for more than half of the game. This season he averaged 24.7 points and 7.1 assists per game. He has grown into an outstanding All-Star player."

"Stephen Curry's three-point shooting percentage this season reached 47.4%, second only to Chen Yan." Joan Barry said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Curry raised his hand and hit the first three-pointer of the game.

3:0.

Curry passed the ball to Chen Yan, and Chen Yan took a step laterally and cut in, attracting a double attack and then passing the ball to Curry, who got an absolute open space.

Jeff Van Gundy put it bluntly: "This is the bonus of playing next to Chen Yan. Any shooter's shooting percentage will increase when he is next to him."

Spurs offensive possession.

Parker controlled the ball for half the game.

The Spurs' starting lineup has not changed compared to last season. In fact, the Spurs' core lineup has not changed in the past 10 years. It is terrifyingly stable. This is one reason why they can remain competitive all year round.

Curry stuck to Parker at the top of the arc, and Parker immediately moved sideways to protect the ball, then turned his back and walked to the left.

While turning around, Parker pushed Curry with his right elbow.

This is not a dirty move, it is a necessary ball-protecting move for every NBA-level ball handler, and it is within the scope of reasonable confrontation.

Parker took three steps and passed the ball to Leonard.

After Leonard caught the ball, he took a tentative step and then walked to the left.

The movements are crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.

Leonard can be described as making rapid progress. A year ago, he would never have dared to do such a dribbling action in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan quickly followed up. He felt Leonard's progress and naturally he would not slack off.

Leonard braked one step outside the oil and gas area, and then turned around in the middle.

Leonard's athletic ability is incomparable to Chen Yan, and he knows this. If he wants to break through Chen Yan, he must use changes in rhythm.

Duncan took a very experienced step forward and blocked Chen Yan.

The Knicks immediately switched defense, and Jordan made up for it.

David West also took a step back. If Leonard chooses to force the game, he will face a situation where double ghosts will open the door.

Leonard has a high basketball quotient, and he immediately made a point to the right and found the open Split, who easily put the basket in and scored.

3:2.

Curry caught the ball and carried it across half court.

Chen Yan went up and exchanged hands with him. After Curry passed the ball, he immediately accelerated towards the bottom corner.

Chen Yan swung the ball vigorously, which was a very beautiful cooperation. However, this round the Spurs changed defense very timely, and Stephen Jackson made up for it.

Curry does not make strong shots. Although he has this ability, it is not necessary in the Knicks.

Curry paused and then passed to Battier.

Battier was a triple threat with the ball, and Parker switched in front of him.

Although he had the height advantage, Battier still did not pull out directly. This kind of shooting method is not what he likes and is not what he is good at.

Battier wanted to pass the ball across to Chen Yan, but Leonard was close to him.

After experiencing last year's finals, Leonard also has experience in defending Chen Yan. The most important thing is not to let him catch the ball.

Leonard was stuck in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan didn't fight with him. If he fought like this for every ball, his physical fitness would drop drastically in the fourth quarter.

Chen Yan moved in the opposite direction unhurriedly, and then suddenly sprinted two steps to the right.

David West came up to block Leonard, and Chen Yan successfully caught the ball.

In the Knicks, D'Antoni designed no less than 20 tactics for Chen Yan to catch the ball.

This is no exaggeration at all, as each game has a different teammate who instead manages to keep Chen Yan from receiving the ball.

Chen Yan took the ball from the wing with a three-pointer.

Leonard squeezed past David West and came to Chen Yan.

Although Chen Yan was not prevented from catching the ball, Leonard at least did not lose his position.

Chen Yan turned sideways, grabbed the ball with one hand and put it behind his back.

Leonard's big hands are scary, and he might steal the ball if you're not careful.

Chen Yan took two steps and then dropped the ball to break through.

Shake your right shoulder slightly and pass the ball from your hip to your left hand.

Leonard reached out and took it out, almost.

Chen Yan took a step toward the left and immediately lowered his center of gravity, completing the change of direction.

Leonard reached out and took it out again, but it was still close.

On the surface, the two steals were slightly different, but in fact they were much different. All of this was under Chen Yan's control.

The moment Leonard stretched out his hand for the second time, Chen Yan made a time difference and accelerated past him!

Leonard adjusted his center of gravity in time to keep up, trying not to lose his position.

The moment Leonard turned around, Chen Yan ejected.

"Shh!"

Hit a high jump shot.

5:0.

"Beautiful jump shot, Chen taught Leonard another lesson." Joan Barry smiled.

Van Gundy nodded: "Always remember one thing when defending Chen Yan, that is, don't take the initiative to reach out and steal his ball."

Spurs offensive possession.

Duncan takes the ball in the high post to support.

Stephen Jackson and Parker crossed paths in the corners.

Duncan suddenly turned around and threw the ball into the paint.

Parker, who just ran to the basket, took the ball and scored with a reverse layup.

5:2.

Curry followed without taking any action. He was very self-aware of his ricochet and did not waste any energy.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court, and Jordan mentioned a high screen.

Curry went in the opposite direction after an in-out. After passing Parker, Curry faced Duncan and hit a super floater.

7:2.

In terms of offensive ability alone, Curry is no longer inferior to Parker.

The Spurs did not defend well at the beginning, but they did not mess up their position.

Parker moved across the half court and moved his hips laterally.

Curry immediately pressed forward because he saw Duncan's screen coming through the corner of his eye.

Parker is very experienced. After he stabilized himself and waited for Duncan to go around to the other side of Curry, Parker immediately picked up the speed.

Parker suddenly stopped and took off from mid-range, and Jordan quickly pounced on him.

Parker underestimated Jordan's movement speed. Parker felt that the ball would be seriously interfered with in the air, so he turned around and passed it to Duncan.

Passing the ball in the air is a taboo, but no Knicks player realized that Parker would pass it like this.

Even Duncan didn't react and lost the ball on the first try.

At this time, Duncan's huge palms took advantage of him. He grabbed the ball and immediately shot from a high position.

hit.

7:4.

Knicks offense.

Chen Yan controlled the ball and took one step beyond the three-point line.

David West came up to cover, Chen Yan moved to the top of the arc and suddenly took action!

Everyone who was thrown by this ball was caught off guard. It was a shot made from horseback and archery.

"Shh!"

10:4.

"Wtf!? Chen used an unconventional shot to hit a three-pointer!"

Jon Barry was shocked.

Van Gundy said: "He is an artist on the court. When the state comes and the inspiration comes, he can make any ball."

The Spurs attacked, and Parker passed to Leonard from outside the three-point line.

Leonard held the ball in his right hand and looked down the road. Parker was knocked down by Jordan.

However, the referee's whistle did not sound and Leonard continued to attack.

Leonard passed to Stephen Jackson, and Duncan covered for him.

The Spurs played a classic pick-and-roll again, with Stephen Jackson hitting from mid-range.

Chen Yan grabbed the rebound and dribbled the ball across half court.

David West took a step outside the three-point line to cover. Chen Yan did not use his screen. Instead, he connected with his crotch and took a backward move. After taking a step sideways, he took a three-pointer against Leonard's defense.

"Shh!"

13:4.

I did this not to look down on Leonard, but simply because I felt it.

As Van Gundy said, Chen Yan is a free-spirited artist on the court.
