I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Nets and the Cavaliers finished the second quarter, and the away Cavaliers were 42-42 at the end of the half game, and they were tied with the Nets.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 18 to 22. The Cavaliers were 4 points behind. After the second quarter, the scores of the two sides had been tied.

The Cavaliers finally won 4 points in the second quarter. This is definitely thanks to Crawford's performance in the first four minutes of rotation, especially the performance of Kobe and Jordan in the first two minutes.

Crawford's mediocre performance in the first two minutes of the second quarter really couldn't sit still.

I have to say that the Zen master is the Zen master. This is the person who has really coached Kobe and Jordan. He has seen both the real Jordan and Kobe, not to mention Crawford, the ‘fake’ Jordan and Kobe.

In the end, Zen Master was not frightened by Crawford's fierce two minutes, and replaced the Nets' starting lineup ahead of schedule.

It was after four minutes of playing that the Nets' starting players were replaced.

At this time, the Nets have fallen behind by three points at home.

From a four-point lead to a three-point lead, it only took 4 minutes.

The facts are positive. The choice of Zen Master is still very correct. The nine-time NBA championship coach, this is really not something ordinary people can do. Let's not talk about the strength, as far as the big scene is concerned, what big scene has he not seen?

Carlisle was expecting Crawford's two minutes to frighten the Zen master. That really underestimated the Zen master.

Just say that Crawford is great in these two minutes, but is as great as Chen Xiao in the finals of last season?

Let me tell you, when Chen Xiao’s Eye of God was in the finals of last season, the Zen master was still motionless.

The Nets' starting lineup is very strong. As long as the rhythm is not disrupted, the Nets' starting lineup can suppress all monsters.

As the coach who is most able to use superstars, Phil Jackson knows very well what kind of games these superstars of his team are suitable for.

Even if the team's superstar is frightened by these young Cavaliers, he must not be frightened.

In the end, under the insistence of the Zen master, the Nets achieved a result that made them very satisfied.

At halftime, the Nets tied the score.

The Nets' starting strength is still stronger than that of the Cavaliers.

After the first half of the game, the strength of the Nets and the Cavaliers are compared, and the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams can be seen blindly.

"The Cavaliers may be the best team in the league to limit the Nets' starting lineup."

"It's impossible for any team in the league, whether it's the Magic, the Heat or the Timberwolves, to get the Nets to score 42 points in the entire first half."

"This is not an ordinary Nets, this is the Nets that took out all of their strength and was'driven crazy' by Wonder Boy at the beginning!"

Pat Riley spoke to the Heat players and coach Spoelstra with a smile on his face.

At the end of the half-time game, the audience in front of the TV and the audience watched very comfortably. This game was wonderful.

But for professionals, what they see is different.

After the Nets and Cavaliers played this halftime, Pat Riley felt that his pre-game prediction for this round of the series was correct.

The Cavaliers are the best team defensively for the Nets.

The Cavaliers have the best defensive lineup for the Nets, and their offense will have big problems.

Therefore, although the Nets' offense is limited to only 70 points from 100 points, it is a little bit stronger than the Cavaliers' offense of only 65.

So, the final result is that the Nets will still win this round of the series, but it will be a little harder to win.

However, the performance and play of Chen Xiao, James and Crawford surprised him in this game. He felt that although the Nets would eventually win, it would be even more difficult.

Harder, better, more difficult, the Heat will have a chance to play with the Nets in the second round.

As a fortune teller, he feels that if it is the full-blooded Nets and O'Neal, his Heat is likely to fail.

You may not believe it, he is an O'Neill blow.

Although Yao Ming is very good, Chris Bosh is also very good, but O'Neal can beat one by one.

Therefore, the best round of the series, the Cavaliers against the Nets, the consumption of O'Neal is more.

The Nets are currently the strongest team in the NBA. This round of the series between the Nets and the Cavaliers is destined to have many professionals onlookers.

It's not just Pat Riley with the Heat players watching.

Larry Brown is also watching with the Pistons.

Moreover, the look on Larry Brown's face is the same as that of Pat Riley, which is a surprise.

The Cavaliers played the Nets so intensely, he was very pleasantly surprised.

After all, the Nets are their opponents after the Pistons passed the Heat.

The Heat did not put the Pistons in their eyes, and felt that the Pistons were a group of untalented civilian players.

The Pistons also did not put the Heat in their eyes. Although the Heat players have different talents, like the Cavaliers, a group of young people who play the playoffs for the first time.

The Cavaliers also have Chen Xiao, a player with successful experience in the finals.

The Heat's five starters, Yao Ming, Bosh, Odom, Russell Butler, and Wade, are all rookies in the playoffs.

If he Larry Brown loses to such a team, how will he play in the NBA in the future?

Well, Pat Riley actually thinks so too.

Both old Yin B think they are soft persimmons, and both want to take advantage of the Cavaliers and the Nets.

Therefore, in this half-time game between the Cavaliers and the Nets, it really made the two of them feel that they were favored by the sky, and fell from the sky to pick up the third level. Isn't that invincible?

This highly focused game between the Cavaliers and the Nets ended at halftime. Just as the NBA spectators and professionals were discussing the high-quality games played by the two teams in the first half, the time was just one point. After a second, the two teams also ended the halftime break and returned to the court.

After the intermission, the Nets led the first offense, and the Nets' first offense once again hit O'Neal's hands.

O'Neal faced the Cavaliers' 23 zone defense and once again made a strong push to Diop. After making Diop's face baffled, O'Neal made a two-point dunk from the basket.

In this game, Diop has suffered from O'Neal's big moves several times.

This is Diop’s first playoff game. Let alone a late-school boy like him who only studied basketball at the age of 15, even those American teenagers who have played basketball since childhood, facing O'Neal, in their first playoff game. Under circumstances, it is difficult to grasp the scale.

Although the current O'Neal physical ability is not as good as that of the magic, but on the basis of various technologies, the current O'Neal is simply at the elite level.

Especially confrontational actions.

The Cavaliers have strong defenses, Chandler and Miles are fast on the inside flanks.

In the entire NBA, apart from O'Neal, no center can be as strong as the Cavaliers' defense.

Therefore, seeing O'Neal show off his offensive deterrence as soon as he came up in the third quarter, the Cavaliers' defense is actually very helpless.

Chandler and Miles must focus more on the inside, and can't focus on the mid-range area where the zone defense is the weakest.

There, James still can only rely on James' own athletic ability and talent to desperately sprint to make up for defense.

And this is why the Cavaliers' starting lineup has worse offense than the Nets.

Because the Nets' offense has the basket, the mid-range, and the outside Carter's singles.

As for the Cavaliers' offense, only Chen Xiao's perimeter singles and shots after running.

The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. This is no joke.

What's more, the Nets used Carter and Richard Jefferson to chase and intercept Chen Xiaowei in this game.

After Chen Xiao attacked the Nets in the first half with the Nets didn't know that he would take a two-pointer from mid-to-long range, after the start of the second half, the Nets' defense obviously began to target Chen Xiao's point.

Despite Chen Xiao's height and arms span, he couldn't help anyone who wanted to shoot.

But obviously, after the start of the second half of the game, his offensive space has become less.

Carter and Richard Jefferson not only became familiar with his offensive methods, but also became accustomed to the three Cleveland Cavaliers' pick-and-roll stakes for Chen Xiao.

So after the start of the second half, the audience and experts in front of the TV can clearly feel that although the Cavaliers have a good defense against the Nets, the Cavaliers' offense is getting more and more difficult.

The strength gap between the two sides is widening.

"This is not a problem with Wonder Boy. The offensive ability of Wonder Boy is already strong enough. Even if it is O'Neal, if the Nets let O'Neal take on the offense alone, the Cavaliers can also defend against O'Neal very well. The Cavaliers can target all Arrangement to be thrown all on O'Neal's head, such a pertinence, whether it is O'Neal or Jordan, has to kneel."

"After O'Neal's first attack on the inside in the second half, the Cavaliers strengthened their defense against O'Neal. The Nets can immediately let Malone and Carter attack, but the Wonder Boy can't. Even if the Nets strengthened his defense, he can only do it himself. On the offensive end, no one can help him!"

"After all, the Cavaliers' offense is still too dependent on Wonder Boy, two punches are hard to beat six hands!"

On the court, Chen Xiao could clearly feel that his offense had reached the limit.

It's no joke that one person assumes the offense of a team.

Looking at Chen Xiao on TV, Iverson thought of himself three years ago, and thought of the first game of the Eastern Conference finals with the Bucks.

In the first quarter, he felt cold, he still needed crazy offense, and finally hit 0 in the single quarter and 0 points in a single quarter.

Even so, in the second quarter, he still needed crazy shots, crazy offenses, and threw another 10 goals in a single quarter. Of course, in the second quarter, his touch came back and he also adjusted his offense. Way.

Iverson knows better than anyone how desperate it is to assume the offense of a team.

No matter how difficult it is, no one around you can help you.

You need someone to solve the problem.

He now remembers the despair in the first quarter of the game against the Bucks.

In the end, he relied on his superb scoring ability to come out, and led the team to victory, and successfully played a game in which one person defeated a team on the offensive end.

However, don't forget that Chen Xiao is now facing the Nets, which is a team that is stronger than the Bucks three years ago.

At the same time, don't forget that the offensive ability of the teammates around Chen Xiao is worse than the offensive ability of his teammates in the 76ers at the time.

When he was 9-for-0 in the first quarter, Alon Mai made a 4-for-3 in a single quarter and scored 8 points. Otherwise, the Bucks will defend him more tightly, and the 76ers are probably about to collapse.

It was also because of the arrival of the Alon Mai base station in the first quarter that he had the opportunity to change his offensive style in the second quarter, defeating the Bucks' defense, and hitting a 7-for-10 shooting rate in a single quarter.

And Chen Xiao's side, there is no player like Aaron McGee.

James is definitely better than Aaron McGee, but he can't help Chen Xiao change the Nets' defense like Aaron McGee changed the Bucks' defense.

Watching on TV, under Gary Payton's defensive step, he kept clawing and clanging and hitting the iron from beyond the three-point line. Iverson knew that James was working hard.

But the Nets team is **** for James' offense.

It's useless to break through, and shooting outside doesn't have that stable ability as a shooter.

That's why he worked so hard to create opportunities for his teammates.

He also worked hard.

The Cavaliers, who played with the Nets in the first half, were incomprehensible. After the start of the third quarter, the situation took a turn for the worse and the Cavaliers fell into desperation.

Seeing the gap between the two teams on the court slowly opened up, Phil Jackson on the sidelines heaved a sigh of relief.

Not to mention the next game, this game seems to be stable.

In future games, after Diop adjusted to the scale of the NBA playoffs, Shaq was definitely harder to play, and the Nets' offense was definitely harder to play, but in this game, the Nets’ offense was normal.

In this case, the Nets must get this victory in their hands.

Phil Jackson can expect that this is the only game that the Nets can win in this round of the series.

Future games, I am afraid they will not be so easy.

On the court, James immediately tried to break through Payton to the basket after failing to set Chen Xiao with his own three-pointer.

James can break through Payton and get to the basket, but in the face of O'Neal's defense at the basket, James tries to evade O'Neal's defense by folding bars like Iverson and Kobe.

But in the end, it was blocked by O'Neill.

Xiao Zhan's current technology is still rough.

Better than Chen Xiao, but still rough.

Even this time, it was already a very good opportunity, because Chen Xiao successfully used his running position to the basket to help Xiao Zhan attract Ma Long's attention away.

If Malone’s attention is also on Xiao Zhan, can you imagine how desperate it is for Xiao Zhan to break through to the basket and layup or dunk?

On the court, looking at Xiao Zhan's figure with his fists clenching his teeth at this time, Chen Xiao walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled at Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Zhan, don't blame yourself, you said, the defense of this game is handed to you, and the offense is handed to me. If this game, we lose because of offense, it is not your responsibility, that is my responsibility."

"So Xiao Zhan, trust me, do your defense well, we can win this game!"

Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Zhan and the teammates around him with a smile. The Cavaliers played for the first time in the playoffs, and there were some young people who were starting to panic. They immediately felt like they had a backbone.

It is not how powerful Chen Xiao is, but what he has done in the Cavaliers this season has made the young Cavaliers around him believe him unconditionally.

"Xiao Chen, I believe you!"

A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face again, and his clenched hands were also released.

"what about you?"

"Bishop, I believe you too!"

"Me too, boss!"

"And I!"

Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players formed a circle on the court, ‘Oh~! After a sound, he laughed and led the Cavaliers players off the court.

At this point, the score on the court is 66 to 54!

You are not mistaken.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers only scored 12 points in a single quarter.

Chen Xiao made 4 of 8 in this quarter and 3 of 5 on three-pointers. He scored 11 points in a single quarter.

Xiao Zhan made 0 in 5, 1 in 2 free throws, and scored 1 point.

Diop scored 0, 0 points in 1.

Chandler scored 0, 0 points in 1.

Darius Miles scored 0, 0 points in 3.

This season's game cannot be blamed on the poor offense of other Cavaliers.

Because the Nets have a stronger defense against Chen Xiao, they are not confident in their offense, so every time the Cavaliers attack, they hope to create better offensive conditions for Chen Xiao.

Therefore, in this season, they did not intend to attack by themselves. In this season, the Cavaliers made 6 turnovers, 4 of which were 24 second violations.

This is why the Cavaliers played so badly offensively and the Nets didn't score high.

It stands to reason that the Nets should have a lot of fast break opportunities to grab rebounds.

That's because the other players of the Cavaliers, whether it is James or others, their shots are really unable to create opportunities for Chen Xiao, and they can only force their shots at the last or a few seconds.

Sometimes there is no way to force a shot, then 24 seconds.

With such shooting options, if they have a strong shooting ability, they can still hit one or two.

But the key is that they don't have any shooting ability. If they can hit it, it's good luck. If they don't hit it, it's normal.

It can be said that throughout the third quarter, the Cavaliers' offense has been dismembered by the Nets.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao to score 11 points in a single quarter in such a space, I'm afraid the Cavaliers would have collapsed.

Of course, if the Cavaliers' players don't look for Chen Xiao with all their strength, but instead attack by themselves, the Cavaliers may score more points, and they may also score fewer points.

In short, after the third quarter, the Nets fans on the scene and the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV were very desperate.

The Cavaliers' offensive ability is really terrible!

In the regular season, Xiao Zhan can also trick the foul to score more points for the team. In the playoffs, Xiao Zhan can't even trick the foul.

So seeing the end of the third quarter, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers players in a circle in the center of the court to cheer, O'Neal's angry eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

see it?

This is the gap between the Cavaliers and the Nets!

No matter how cheerful the smile on your face is, no matter how brilliant the smile on your face is, it is impossible to bridge such a gap, such a gap!

So, lose this game well, lose this series well, and bear it well because of your arrogance and your provocation against Brother Shark and be ridiculed by the United States and the whole world!

Although he has not won the game, O'Neal is still very happy.

The monstrous anger at the start of the game was also much less.

"It seems that the Cavaliers can only hold on to this game."

Pat Riley admired the scene of Chen Xiao cheering for other Cavaliers players in the middle circle.

Also very satisfied.

This is Wonder Boy preparing for the next game.

This game can be lost, but confidence cannot be lost.

In the next game, the young players of the Cavaliers are more familiar with the playoff environment, and they can definitely perform better.

It is impossible for the Nets to have such a big advantage in this game.

The Nets can consume more.

Therefore, Pat Riley is really worried that Chen Xiao will collapse because of the third quarter.

This way he and the Heat are a little embarrassed.

Of course, now Wade and Yao Ming are very worried when watching Chen Xiao's face on TV.

Chen Xiao is Pat Riley's tool man, but not their tool man.

"Just don't lose confidence."

Both Wade and Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

After the third quarter of the Cavaliers and Nets game, many people were worried about Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers, many people were also gloating at Chen Xiao, and many people were also relieved.

After all, in last year's finals, Chen Xiao already sent a lot of people to the rooftops in the United States.

This time, if you send another batch...

However, unlike most people in the United States, when someone is watching TV at this time, the expression on his face is not worried or gloating, but hey.

Indianapolis, watching the Cavaliers and Nets scores on TV.

Before entering the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 12 points.

"This score is really familiar."

Reggie Miller was a little surprised. The score reminded him of the "Singing Throat Night" on June 1, 1994.

"Does Wonder Boy have to sing again in this game?"

Originally Reggie Miller was only very kind because he saw the score, so it was just a little joke.

I didn't really think what could happen in this Cavaliers and Nets game.

However, as the fourth quarter began, as the game progressed, half an hour later...

Before the start of the fourth quarter ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Reggie Miller was just joking, the expression on his face at this time has become shocked, surprised, and unbelievable!

Not just him, audiences across the United States, and audiences all over the world, all look the same as Reggie Miller!

If the game was 12 points behind and entered the final quarter, perhaps only Reggie Miller would think of anything.

So now, with 18.7 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers are 84 to 90!

At this time, this score, too many people in the United States are familiar with it!

With 18.7 seconds left in the game, the score was 6 points behind!

And it went from 12 points behind to only 6 points left!

"Miller moment!"

"And it's a double Miller moment!"

With a bang, the whole world seemed to be agitated!
