I’m Really Playing Basketball

Every young man has a heroic dream.

The Cavaliers have a group of young people.

They may not be so strong now, but everyone can give everything for their dreams.

On the defensive end, O'Neal was constantly swept by O'Neal with ‘experience’ and ‘elbow’, but he still kept leaning against Diop who was on O’Neal.

While defending Richard Jefferson on the defensive end, James was constantly running sideways and jumping up and down.

After the Cavaliers and the Nets started the game, the vigor that the Cavaliers showed after the opening not only shocked the Nets fans at the scene, but also shocked the American audience in front of the TV.

"Unexpectedly, in this game between the Nets and the Cavaliers, the Nets fell into a hard fight from the beginning. These young people of the Cavaliers are using their bodies to fight with the Nets!"

"The Cavaliers are not just Wonder Boys who want to destroy the Nets. Everyone in the Cavaliers team wants to destroy the Nets with Wonder Boys. Wonder Boys are not fighting alone!"

"Unbelievable!"

After the game started, Kenny Smith and Barkley didn't know how many weird they said.

If a team has only someone like Chen Xiao who always says to destroy the best team in NBA history, then this person is either a lunatic or an idiot.

Just laugh at him to your heart's content.

But if a team, a group of people are such lunatics and idiots, then you have no way to laugh at them.

Because this is not a joke, they are real!

Seeing the Cavaliers players who are running wild on the defensive end with a lack of strength on the court, without sparing any physical strength, Barkley looked at Chen Xiao with envy.

It is a very lucky and happy thing to have a group of teammates who can fight side by side with you at all costs.

In the NBA, not every team's players are so united and have such same interests.

Even if it was a team at the level of the Big Three Mosaic composed of him, Olajuwon and Pippen.

When he tried to fight forward, both Olajuwon and Pippen just watched him desperately from behind.

At that time, the mosaic of the three of them looked so strong, but in the end they won nothing.

If the mosaic of the year and the current Cavaliers were like this...

Barkley couldn't imagine.

"No wonder Wonder Boy dared to provoke O'Neal constantly and provoke the Nets, the strongest team in history. He really has such qualifications!"

As one of the victims of Chen Xiao's mouth, Barkley couldn't help but respect what Chen Xiao did with the Cavaliers this season.

Such a young team, a team with four starters playing the playoffs for the first time, was actually led by him so that he could go to work hard with the strongest team in history.

This in itself is an extremely powerful ability.

"No wonder he will be one of the most successful young people in basketball history. This is not a fluke!"

After officially playing professional basketball for two years, he won the NCAA championship and MOP, NBA championship and FMVP. In two years, he achieved achievements that no one else could achieve in a lifetime.

Barkley always thought this was his luck before.

Now, Barkley feels that his success is more than luck.

How can you be lucky to be able to bring a group of such young players and the sparks of the Nets with the strongest team in history to play?

Not to mention the young people of the Cavaliers playing the playoffs for the first time, even those NBA veteran teams, facing this Nets, most of them will be timid without fighting.

Where is the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao, scared the Nets and Malone at the beginning, scared the strongest team in history to go all out and be cautious.

In this game between the Cavaliers and the Nets, because of the madness of the young players of the Cavaliers, the Nets showed their full strength as soon as they came up.

I have to say that the strongest team in history is the strongest team in history. O'Neal did not have any tricks directly at the basket. Malone was still as stable as an old dog under the threat of James’ incredible talent. There is Carter who is still at ease in the face of Chen Xiao's perimeter defense, which is almost one of the best in the league.

The Cavaliers’ 23 defense is definitely the best defense in the NBA. In the face of the Cavaliers’ defense, most teams don’t say whether they can win or not. When playing offense, it must be a headache.

It is absolutely impossible to play with ease like the Nets.

The entire league couldn't find a center like O'Neal who could break the defense.

The entire league can't find a few mid-range shooters as stable as Malone.

Similarly, the entire league could not find a few super giants who played such a ‘easy’ outside line like Carter and Chen Xiao.

The Cavaliers' 23 zone defense is already the strongest defense and weapon the Cavaliers can give up offensively.

But for the strongest Nets in history, they can only limit, but can't defend.

However, for the Cavaliers, fortunately, their offense after the start of this game is also very good.

Chen Xiao practiced his long-distance two-pointer in this game, which almost changed the pattern of this game.

Obviously, from the beginning of this game, Phil Jackson and the Nets have targeted Chen Xiao's offensive area and the mid-range shooting area.

If Chen Xiao doesn't have the ability to score points in the middle of the shooting zone and the three-point line like Iverson, Chen Xiao's offense will be greatly restricted in this game.

After all, with O'Neal and Malone inside the Nets, they are almost invincible below the free throw line, restraining all breakthroughs and mid- and short-range shots.

The Cavaliers' starter, others almost completely gave up the offense when attacking.

In fact, for Diop, Chandler and Dalius Miles, who have no shooting ability, as long as Malone and O'Neal occupy the paint area up and down, the three of them do not have any offensive space.

Therefore, facing the Cavaliers, the Nets' defense is very simple. O'Neal and Malone are in the paint zone below the free throw line. With the other three people, Payton is in front of James, Carter and Richard Jefferson. Leave the others alone, just go crazy to defend Chen Xiao.

Even if three people help screen, but the screen players are stakes after all, it is no problem to block one person, but it is not easy to block two people from chasing and defending crazy.

Although Richard Jefferson and Carter's off-ball defense are average, their physical fitness is good, which can solve the problem.

Plus two people are still tall.

High and fast, the two teamed up to defend Chen Xiao.

If Chen Xiao was photographed by O'Neal and Malone's deterrence, he would not dare to go to mid-to-close range. In this case, Chen Xiao's offensive area would be left with the three-point line, which would be too good to defend.

Now, Chen Xiao has a new offensive area, which is beyond the reach of the Nets' two insides. In addition, other Cavaliers players do not want to attack to create opportunities for Chen Xiao. The Nets and Phil Jackson faced Chen Xiao before the game. The goal of the game can only be bankruptcy. Seeing Chen Xiao's long-range two-pointer and three-point line jump back and forth, the Nets players can only sigh.

Although the Cavaliers’ starting lineup is only Chen Xiao with a stable offensive ability, as long as you have not solved Chen Xiao’s problem, you can’t say that you have solved the Cavaliers’ offense.

Just like the 76ers Iverson brought back then, Iverson is the only offensive player of the 76ers, but even if you know this, if you can’t solve Iverson’s offensive problem, you still can’t say that you have solved the 76ers. Human offensive issues.

After the first quarter of the game, facing the strongest Nets in history, the Cavaliers in the away game actually played 18 to 22 with the Nets.

Facing the Nets with all-out shots, the Cavaliers fell behind by 4 points in the starting lineup.

You know, the Nets' starting is the team's strongest place. After this season without the strongest substitute in history, the Nets are called the strongest in history because of their starting.

However, in the first quarter of the Cavaliers Super League defense, Richard Jefferson and Payton's offense was almost paralyzed.

Although O'Neal has the ability to attack and defend, is the attack so good?

Although Malone has a very strong CIC ability, but under James' physical and desperate sweep, Malone's CIC has also been greatly affected.

And Carter's outside singles, to be reasonable, Carter's super giant, can't help it, that's for sure, but Chen Xiao's defensive player is so good at playing?

It can be said that the Nets, which has the strongest strength in history, started with a very big problem on the offensive end in the first quarter.

At the very least, 22 points in a single quarter is definitely less for the Nets.

On the contrary, the Cavaliers, 18 points in a single quarter, they are acceptable.

With the team completely giving up offensively and desperately defending, the Cavaliers can accept this scoring.

In the first quarter, both teams played full 12 minutes of starting. From this, it can be seen that the Nets really want to win more.

Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the players of the two teams came off the court. The audience and the audience in front of the TV could clearly feel that the Nets players were very dissatisfied, while the Cavaliers were very dissatisfied. The players are relatively relaxed.

According to the Cavaliers coach Carlisle's plan before the game, the Cavaliers are successful as long as they are less than six points behind in the first quarter.

The Nets’ offensive deterrence was too strong, and the Cavaliers gave up their offense. The Cavaliers tried their best to defend, and they might not be able to fight. At the same time, Chen Xiao alone can bear the team’s offense to what extent, Carlisle Still very worried.

After the first quarter of this game, Carlisle was relieved.

Carlisle was pleasantly surprised by the performance of Chen Xiao and James, the two leading players of the Cavaliers in this season.

James's desperate defense on the defensive end not only caused a great deterrent to Malone, but also allowed Chen Xiao's position in the zone to be more prominent.

After Chen Xiao was given to James, then Chen Xiao could be even more advanced when defending Carter.

Carter's three-pointer poses less of a zone defense threat to the Cavaliers.

On the offensive end, Chen Xiao actually showed a strong mid-to-long two-point offensive ability in this game, which made the Nets' targeted defense of Chen Xiao more difficult.

The Nets are very defensive, with two big men at the basket who can block the paint. In addition, there are two highly mobile outside lines like Carter and Richard Jefferson. Payton has extremely defensive experience. Strong, well-positioned defensive leader, the Nets can be called the strongest in history this season not only because of their offense, but also their defense.

With this kind of defense, Chen Xiao was able to make 5 of 11 in the first quarter, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points in a single quarter. This is really great!

In the first quarter, the performance of the Cavaliers' starting players has exceeded Carlisle's expectations.

Whether the Cavaliers can win now depends on the performance of the Cavaliers' bench players.

In Carlisle's plan, whether the Cavaliers can beat the Nets depends on the team's bench lineup!

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao was put on the bench by coach Carlisle to rest.

And Xiao Zhan, who played full in the first quarter, continued to lead the team.

When the Cavaliers' substitute players were on the court, Chen Xiao specifically asked Crawford.

"Jamaal, whether we can beat the Nets or not is up to you!"

Facing Chen Xiao's instruction to grasp his shoulder, Crawford took a deep breath, then nodded heavily.

As the third head of the Cavaliers, Crawford has a very heavy task in this series.

He won't have much playing time, because of his defensive problems, he can't appear in the starting lineup, not even a minute.

In the Nets' starting lineup, everyone has the ability to average 20 points per game. What does this mean?

This means that as long as Crawford appears in the starting lineup, the Cavaliers' defensive strategy has no meaning.

Crawford can only play in the rotation time when the Nets' main players are absent.

In this game between Cavaliers and Nets, how much time can the Nets' main players not be on the court?

15 minutes at most!

In the regular season, he can average more than 30 minutes of playing time per game.

Now only give him 15 minutes.

And in these 15 minutes, he still needs to get the same points he had in the regular season.

And, in these 15 minutes, he has partnered with James instead of Chen Xiao for at least half of the time.

It's already very difficult to get 15 points in 15 minutes, but half of the time around is a teammate like James who can't make room for him.

This is really a test of his singles and the ability of the microwave oven.

Under such huge restrictions, if Crawford really achieved what the Cavaliers needed him to do, it would be a surprise. If he could not do it, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers would not blame him.

The Nets' starting five, O'Neal, Malone and Payton are veterans and it is difficult to play in the rotation.

Carter needs to compete with Chen Xiao for a whole game. Chen Xiao is with him, and Chen Xiao can't be with him without him.

These four are the Nets' four strongest offensive players.

They can't make the rotation time in the second quarter, which means that the Nets' offense will fall off a cliff.

The four minutes of the second quarter rotation is the Achilles heel of the strongest Nets in history.

What the Cavaliers play in these four minutes and what Crawford play in these four minutes determines the trend and success of the Cavaliers' game.

"Brothers, come on!"

"Wow~!"

In Chen Xiao's cheer, James brought Crawford, Korver, Dior and Chandler on the field!

On the other side, the Nets' rotation is Fisher, Brandon Armstrong, Richard Jefferson, Martin and Mourning.

Richard Jefferson stayed to defend James, and Fisher, Martin and Mourning need not be introduced.

And Brandon Armstrong is Chen Xiao's former teammate. He used to be a substitute for Chen Xiao's substitute, and was the fifteenth player of the Nets season.

Chen Xiao’s substitute is Kidders and Rodney Rogers, the substitute for Kidders and Rodney Rogers is Lucio Harris, Harris’s substitute is Anthony Johnson, and Johnson’s substitute is him.

It can be said that last season, Armstrong couldn't even enter the lineup. In the Nets last season, Armstrong played 11 games and averaged 2 minutes per game.

This season, due to the departure of Chen Xiao and Kidd, and after the strong rotation players in front of him have left, Armstrong is considered to be a winner. This season, he averaged 15 minutes per game, averaging 37% field goal percentage and 33%. The three-pointer percentage averaged 5.2 points per game.

The data is not good, but it is better than him and Fisher's substitute Robert Parker. Robert Parker averaged 7 minutes per game this season, averaging 1.9 points and 1 assist per game, and he still hasn't three points.

Others are the older the three-pointers are, the more devilish Pike is.

This is something the Nets didn't expect.

You know, in the 94-95 season, he once shot 41.7% of the season's three-pointers in the Nuggets.

In fact, his three-pointers are not missing right now, they were missing when he was in the Hornets last season.

It's just that the Nets need his good passing ability to pass for Mourning and Martin.

Parker now has basically nothing except that pass that is considered acceptable.

After all, 35 years old.

And this is why the Nets' bench lineup is so much worse than last season. Not only is the lineup not so reasonable, but the thickness is not enough.

Therefore, Carlisle dared to work **** the Nets' bench lineup.

The Nets' F7, seven All-Star players, but these All-Stars, except for Martin, Mourning and Richard Jefferson, the other four rotations are not available.

This is the opportunity for the Cavaliers!

On the court, the Nets' first offense, Fisher tried to find Martin and Mourning under James' defense.

After receiving the free throw line, Martin faced Dior's defense and dribbled the ball to Mourning at the basket.

Mourning faced Chandler's defense and hit the hook with an iron. Chandler grabbed a backcourt rebound.

The Nets' outside offensive ability is not strong, this time the offense is a bit small.

When it came to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers attacked. After James dribbled the ball through halftime, he called Crawford.

"Jamaal, don't care about other things, attack, attack with all your strength, I will help you suppress Richard Jefferson Martin and Mourning, you attack with all your strength!"

After James finished talking to Crawford, he took the basketball in his hand and sat directly on Richard Jefferson, who let him take a step.

After sitting down Richard Jefferson, James ran over Richard Jefferson with a back-turned breakthrough.

Richard Jefferson is also considered to have outstanding physical fitness, but as the best-chosen son of this style of player, James' talent is much better than Richard Jefferson.

Of course, Richard Jefferson did not lose his position after being turned back and broke, but continued to follow James, trying to pinch James with his teammates under the basket.

Richard is very correct in this idea.

If his goal is to defend James, then he has achieved his goal and always sticks to James's side. James does not have the ability to stop and shoot. As long as the front teammates are in place, then James has fallen into a dead end.

but!

Just after James’ breakthrough attracted all the attention of the Nets’ inside defense and Martin, who was in charge of assisting defense, was attracted to James’ side, James faced the defenses of Richard Jefferson and Martin and looked back at the moon. , Threw the basketball in his hand to Crawford from beyond the three-point line.

Facing Fisher's defense, Crawford was a little staggered when he received James' breakthrough ball. After all, he is not a masterpiece like Chen Xiao.

But relying on extremely good control ability, Crawford stabilized his footsteps, and even with this staggering he even shook Fisher.

When Fisher once again posted to Crawford, Crawford didn't break through and then pulled back a mid-range jumper and almost knocked Fisher directly.

Fisher's defense is very good, but he is heavy, and Crawford is too floating.

And Crawford's offensive skills, coupled with his No. 8, made Fisher think of a very familiar figure in his mind!

Kobe Bryant!

When Fisher flew to Crawford, who was leaning back in the air, his lips were bitten.

Martin's defense was attracted by James, so after he was shaken by Crawford, he could only make up for himself, and Martin could not help him make up.

But obviously, this time his own fill-up is a bit late.

Brush!

Crawford hit his first two points in this game with a very energetic single.

It was also the first two points in the playoffs of his career.

20 to 22!

The Cavaliers reduced the score to 2 points.

The Nets offensively, this time the Nets are still playing inside, but instead of continuing to play Mourning, they played Martin. Martin successfully faced Chandler's help in singles, and dunked successfully under the basket.

20 to 24!

After Martin scored, the Nets fans at the scene instantly became silent.

No other Nets players booed after scoring and there was no applause after Chen Xiao scored.

But such quietness also puts great pressure on Martin.

He also doesn't like the F7 Nets this season. He and Richard Jefferson think about the days they spent with Chen Xiao, the boss and the others, and even count the days of thinking about them.

This is the 300th day of their absence...

Still thinking.

However, we are professional players, we can not only have feelings, but also professionalism and big contracts!

After Martin scored, he didn't celebrate or beat his chest, crying and howling, this little Garnett immediately returned to his defensive position after scoring, and began to defend hard.

"Ken Yang and they are very professional."

In front of the TV, the most professional smile appeared on the face of the boss.

Chen Xiao learned a lesser career from him.

Martin and Richard Jefferson learned their careers from him.

Each of them is very good.

On the court, the Cavaliers continued to attack, and James continued to attack.

Seeing that Richard Jefferson was almost about to be washed away by James on the court, the Nets fans on the sidelines and many spectators in front of the TV exclaimed.

"Richard Jefferson is already considered a genius, but is there such a big gap between him and a chosen son like James?"

Even Phil Jackson stood up anxiously at this time.

James is using his impact to attract Martin's defense, creating space for Crawford's singles Fisher.

Richard Jefferson, whom he had high hopes for, couldn't prevent James one-on-one.

But Mourning is too old, and now he can't help out, and he may not be able to block James' impact even at the basket.

In this case, Fisher's defense against Crawford is almost helpless.

Fisher's defense is very good, but Crawford of the Cavaliers...

"Jamaal, the rest is up to you!"

After James once again squashed the Nets' defenses, he handed the basketball to Crawford's hands.

Looking at the basketball that James had high hopes in his hand, Crawford moved his legs and made an extremely chic change of direction. He took a sudden step forward, pushing Fisher back, and immediately took another step backward. Lawford was about to retreat for a three-pointer, Fisher almost jumped in front of Crawford with a straddle.

What made Fisher desperate was that Crawford didn't pull outside the three-point line, but followed by another smooth breakthrough!

Fisher, who had exhausted his last bit of strength, watched Crawford pass by his side, desperately wanting to continue back defense.

But he is just Fisher, he is neither Jordan nor Kobe, he does not have such a strong waist, nor does he have such a strong leg.

Bang!

At the moment Crawford broke through smoothly, Fisher crashed to the ground!

Crawford's emergency stop jumper after an ankle terminator breakthrough!

Brush!

Make two points!

22 to 24!

Watching the Knight No. 8 on the TV, Kobe in front of the TV was stunned.

It's not just Crawford's singles ability that stunned Kobe, but a singles player like Crawford, who actually has such a large space!

And who is this space created for him?

James!

Watching the replay on TV, when Crawford singles Fisher, Martin was stuck tightly, with a hideous face, and he kept blocking with his back, jamming James, who went up to help defend the route.

Kobe seems to have met James again.

In the first quarter, James was next to Chen Xiao, desperately helping Chen Xiao to defend.

In the second quarter of the game, James took Crawford and worked hard to help Crawford gain offensive space.

The game played so far, James now has a pitiful little data.

But he is the key to how the Cavaliers can play against the Nets.

An 18-year-old boy actually had this kind of consciousness.

When I was 18 years old, what did I think about on the court every time?

What an amazing team this is!

"What kind of team did Chen bring out..."

Watching the intractable Cavaliers playing against the Nets on TV, Kobe couldn't help but exclaim.

Do not!

Not intractable!

The Cavaliers are now ahead!

On the court, the Nets Martin missed Chandler's assist in a single shot against Dior. James grabbed a backboard and launched a fast break.

James took the defense of Richard Jefferson and Armstrong to push the ball into the paint, and once again compressed the Nets' defense to the extreme, James still did not attack by himself, but turned back and passed the ball, Crawford De met Fisher again one-on-one.

Fisher, who had been hit by Crawford's singles twice in a row, watched Crawford take the ball and suddenly took a blue aim from outside the three-point line.

For him, this number eight has now begun to be equal to the number eight of the Lakers.

The number eight of the Cavaliers has already made him a little frantic!

Snap!

The crisp beaten sound of a lifetime!

Brush!

Three-pointer!

Beep beep!

Then there was another rapid whistle!

The rapid whistle made Fisher despair standing next to Crawford.

Additional penalty hits!

3+1!

26 to 24!

Looking at the sideline score that changed again, Phil Jackson was blinded.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets also led by 4 points.

But it took less than two minutes to play in the second quarter, and the Nets are 2 points behind!

Although he knows that the Nets' rotation of players has some problems.

But he never thought that the Nets rotation problem would be so big!

Crawford played just like Kobe in the past two minutes!

The game is not a combination of James and Crawford, it is a combination of James and Kobe!

No kidding, the rotation combination of Crawford and James has a really high ceiling.

If Crawford feels good and is not kidding, it is the combination of Kobe and James.

Especially in the case of James deliberately creating singles opportunities for Crawford, this effect is very obvious.

Jen is actually very suitable for cooperating with super singles like Crawford or Irving.

Because Xiao Zhan can compress the defense, and the ability to compress the defense is extremely strong. If the opponent's defense can be compressed by Xiao Zhan, then there is more room for singles such as Crawford or Owen.

No kidding, Crawford has never had such an open singles environment in the Bulls.

And all this was brought to him by Xiao Zhan's desperate efforts.

In less than two minutes, one person scored 8 points!

In the past period of time, Crawford became the most beautiful cub on the entire stadium.

"This kid is completely famous!"

Kobe watched Chen Xiao being greeted by Chen Xiao on TV, and Chen Xiao shouted at Crawford who was celebrating, Kobe couldn't help but admire.

Only soon, the smile on Kobe's face solidified.

Because of the excitement, Chen Xiao took Crawford and performed the "Snake King Ceremony".

Si Si, Si Si Si Si, Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Sisi

On the side of the court, Chen Xiao, Crawford and James were excitedly facing the wire.

In the stands, the Nets fans were screaming frantically.

The Nets' bench, UU reading www.uukanshu.com watched the score turned over by the Cavaliers again, and the Cavaliers' starting players looked at each other.

They only got off for less than two minutes.

Fengyun suddenly changed!

And the anger in O'Neill's heart, at this time, has already begun to slowly appear fear!

There is not much fear, only a little bit, but there is indeed a trace of fear in his heart!

They actually made me fear that I might lose or lose the series!

Brush!

The fear continues!
