Chen did not celebrate too wildly after the Splash Brothers and Wiggins scored, because the Warriors immediately inbounded the ball.
So Chen Xi merely gave Joe, who had just racked up another assist, a heavy high-five while getting back on defense, and that counted as a celebration~~
As he crossed half court on the way back, then quickly turned and backpedaled into his defensive position, Chen led the Knicks against another Golden State Warriors counterattack.
There was still no change to the defensive assignment this possession. Rose remained on Curry, watching as the latter once again initiated an isolation with the ball.
From another perspective, letting Curry increase his individual offense from the opening tip was not necessarily a bad way to wear down the Warriors...

Stephen Curry held the ball at the Top of the Key, isolating against Rose.
With another series of Between-the-Legs Crossover moves, changes of direction in front of and behind his body, Curry's slightly flashy ball-handling quickly disrupted Rose's defensive balance. Seizing the moment Rose's footwork fell into disarray, he accelerated past him and drove into the paint.
The instant he stepped inside the three-point line, Chen Xi's help defense arrived from the side.
But that was exactly what Curry wanted. He took another accelerating dribble inside, further compressing the Knicks' defense, then fired a precise behind-the-back pass.
