I’m Really Playing Basketball

At noon on April 26, 2004, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers played the second home game of the Cavaliers in this series last night. They took the Cavaliers to Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey early this morning.

In the warm welcome of the New Jersey fans and Princeton University players, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers players into the Princeton University with cheers and applause.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers return to New Jersey and Princeton this time, the welcome they received was even more grand. Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su, who have been with the Cavaliers, could not help but feel excited with excitement, excitement and excitement. With ease again.

To be honest, in yesterday's game, the Cavaliers and Nets played G4. After the Cavaliers lost 75 to 90 at home to the Nets by 15 points, they were really worried that the Cavaliers might be criticized in New Jersey.

Because the Cavaliers relied on Chen Xiao to reproduce Miller’s 0.7 seconds to kill the Nets 82 to 80 in the G3 game. Not to mention the public opinion in the United States, but the public opinion in New Jersey. The Cavaliers might win!

But in the game of G4, the Cavaliers played the worst game lost in this series.

As soon as the first quarter came up, the Nets scored a 25-13, opening the score by 12 points.

Although relying on Crawford's performance in the second quarter, the Cavaliers led this quarter 25-21.

But in the third quarter, the Nets played the Cavaliers 24 to 14, which was very uncomfortable.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers lost 52 to 70 by 18 points.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost 15 points 75 to 90 after the entire game.

Although the Cavaliers' defense in this game is still very good, but in the case of Chen Xiao and James's offensive downturn, Crawford's 12-of-7 high-efficiency 21 points were useless.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 30, 3 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He only scored 30 points.

Xiao Zhan was even more miserable. The game was 4 of 20, 2 of 9 three points, and 12 points in the game. Compared with G3, Xiao Zhan's touch in this game is simply not comparable to that of G3.

In short, after losing a game that the New Jersey fans were extremely looking forward to, Zhang and Xiaosu were really worried that Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers would receive a cold reception in New Jersey.

Obviously, they are thinking too much.

As the eighth Cavaliers in the East, facing the Nets, the strongest team in history, the first four playoff games were completed and the score was 2 to 2. Who can tell what's wrong with this result?

Even Nets fans really expect the Cavaliers to beat the Nets immediately.

But, that is just expectation, the gap between expectation and reality, they are acceptable.

They can accept even the expectation is not fulfilled.

Moreover, you are in the NBA, in the United States, ask, the Cavaliers and Nets play like this in the first round of the playoffs, to see if it has far exceeded everyone's expectations?

Before the start of this round of the series, who would have thought that this round of the series could be like this?

The Cavaliers and the Nets have not been eliminated after four games, and they are still 2 to 2.

And still 2-1 lead was chased by the Nets to 2-2.

This time the Cavaliers and the Nets are in the lead, and the Nets are chasing.

Therefore, every game of the Nets is a "battle to save the strongest team in history". This puts too much pressure on the veterans of the Nets.

That is, the ability of these veterans of the Nets to resist pressure is really the best.

Really want to change the average team, after the Cavaliers lead 2-1, it is indeed very likely that the strength of the home court and the morale will be directly won 3-1.

The strongest team in history did have two brushes, and finally got the score back.

Facing the New Jersey fans and Princeton University players as warm welcome as Cleveland fans.

James, Crawford, Chandler, Diop, Darius Miles and other young players are really happy.

In this round of the playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Nets, they are home in every game.

This is really no joke.

The Cavaliers players are considered their own no matter whether they are in Cleveland or New Jersey.

This is too important for the Cavaliers.

Most of the Cavaliers' players are young people. Of the 10 Cavaliers who played in the playoffs, except for Chen Xiao, 9 are playing the playoffs for the first time.

If they are facing a real NBA playoff-level away game, it is difficult for these young players to have such a focus.

If you come to New Jersey to be booed or scolded, the Cavaliers will definitely not come so many days in advance.

We played G5 Tianwang Mountain on April 28, and came on April 26. We arrived in New Jersey two days earlier. It can be said that the Cavaliers can minimize the impact of the away boat and cars to the minimum, and the game state of the Cavaliers players can be very well guaranteed.

If it hadn't been for the full support of New Jersey fans, it would have been a level for Chen Xiao to take the Cavaliers to play the Nets.

After all, this is only a visible benefit to the Cavaliers.

There is also the invisible, playing away games in every game makes the Nets, which are already very stressful in public opinion, even more stressful.

Therefore, many people say that the Cavaliers played so well with the Nets this time in the playoffs because every game is 6 on 5.

Indeed, that invisible teammate is on the side of the Cavaliers in every game.

Coming to New Jersey is the same as returning to Cleveland. This is really cool.

"With their support, I think the battle of Tianwangshan in G5 has made us more confident."

Seeing the New Jersey fans and Princeton University students welcome them so much, this round of the series made Xiao Zhan realize how refreshing it is to represent justice.

This round of the series is the first playoff game for Xiaozhan, an 18-year-old boy. The first playoff game encountered the strongest team in history that is almost impossible to beat.

This can definitely be said to be a playoff game that has shaped the three views of Xiao Zhan's career.

Because it represents justice, the fans support them, because it represents justice, God supports them.

The Cavaliers' wins in the two games are all based on that magical to incredible Miller moment.

If the metaphysical power of "justice must win" is not too strong, it is difficult for anyone to believe that Chen Xiao can stage two Miller moments in the four games of the playoffs.

Reggie Miller himself said in interviews: "You should ask God why this is!"

It means that justice can get so many benefits that fools will become evil people!

Don't look at the G4 Cavaliers losing terribly at home, but Xiao Zhan and the Cavaliers are more confident.

The first four games told them that the advantage is in me!

As long as we can fight with the Nets in the game, God will stand by our side!

This psychological suggestion is too strong.

Although their strength gap is huge, the Nets can never crash in the first quarter of the game.

As long as the Cavaliers are within 10 points behind the end of the first three quarters, the Cavaliers can be favored by God.

Chen Xiao said: Hmm, so you guys have to work harder. It's not as good as my "God".

This will relax the mental state of the players of James and the Cavaliers.

It's so cool to have such a relaxed attitude in such a tense playoff matchup.

On the opposite side of the Nets, the opposite is true, because God is always on the side of the Cavaliers at critical moments, and their pressure is very high.

A small lead is really unsafe, and a big lead is needed.

As far as the Cavaliers' defense is concerned, the Nets want a big lead, so they need constant risk.

Risks are prone to problems.

Therefore, although he lost the game yesterday, and it was a big loss, Chen Xiao is very relieved to see that Xiao Zhan and his teammates are more confident.

At this point in the playoffs this time, Chen Xiao knew that the Cavaliers had indeed begun to slowly build up their advantages.

If it weren’t for Xiao Zhan and his teammates to slowly feel this advantage, how could Xiao Zhan hit a 4-for-20 shooting percentage in the last game, and now he is so excited, and want to continue throwing in the next game. Continue to shoot.

After the last game, the Nets proved to the world that they are still the strongest team in history.

But now, the Cavaliers have completely walked out of their powerful phantom, and began to look forward to their own legend.

The truth value of those 15 scoring experience cards!

After arriving at Princeton University, the Cavaliers had no training mission on the 26th.

All the Cavaliers players, including Chen Xiao, were required to take a compulsory rest, sweep away the exhaustion of the previous G4 game, and greet G5 with a fully charged state.

Carlisle's arrangements for the Cavaliers are very meticulous.

In this playoffs, Carlisle's performance actually surprised Chen Xiao.

This is a very good head coach.

Very suitable for him and the young people of the Cavaliers.

On April 27, 2004, the Cavaliers players started their preparations for the G5 Tianwang Mountain battle in the training hall of Princeton University early the next morning after a half-day rest.

The morning is restorative training, and the afternoon is the time for the team to study collectively.

"LeBron, in the last game, you took 20 shots in the whole game, but you only made 4 shots. In the next game, I need you to take more shots. At the same time, I hope you can hit more."

"In the past four games, how your hand feel has had a great impact on Chen's offense. Most of your shots are half-empty or even full-empty shots. This is a very good chance to play. You have to remember. Live, your shots, your scoring are not to liberate Chen, Chen does not need you to liberate, no matter what your shooting percentage is, the Nets will not let us liberate Chen's offense."

"Your shots do not need to bring any unnecessary pressure and responsibility. You encounter an open position on the court. You think this is the same as training. You can take shots. The hits are naturally good. If you can't hit, it doesn't matter. Believe in our own defense and the defense of our partners, we can make the Nets shoot the same as ours!"

Carlisle always hit the nail on the head when explaining the game plan.

After listening to Carlisle's words, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but nodded.

After four games, the winners and losers of the Cavaliers and Nets series are already very obvious.

As long as the Cavaliers can enter the fourth quarter with no more than 10 points behind, they will be able to trigger the "God's favor". Wonder boy, God Chen will run away.

The Cavaliers now all aim for this purpose.

All the goals of the Nets are to prevent such a purpose.

So in the last game, the Nets fired up in the first quarter, and even replaced Payton in the starting lineup for Fisher with a stronger three-pointer in order to fire up.

I have to say that Phil Jackson is really strong when he is in danger. After losing G3, the whole world feels that the Nets may collapse. After all, the Miller moment when Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers did two serve in three games.

Unexpectedly, Phil Jackson actually stabilized the Nets.

The last game was attacked by Phil Jackson, causing Phil Jackson to collapse in the first quarter. In the next most important battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Cavaliers will of course not be able to passively accept the Nets' choice.

Carlisle is ready to take the initiative to choose his own destiny!

"LeBron, remember, Fisher's defense will only be bigger than Peyton's defense, letting you play more!"

In this series, James is facing single defense, and it is the single defense of Payton and Fisher.

If there are only two players on the court, James and Payton heads-up, James can vomit Payton and cry Fisher.

But the game is for five people, and the Nets' insides are O'Neal and Malone.

The two super big gates are sticking one after the other, and any breakthrough player will cry.

Payton and Fisher have been able to defend James so well one-on-one in the first four games, not because the two of them can defend James.

It's that Malone and O'Neal can defend James' breakthrough.

Of course, Fisher and Payton are not the same.

Fisher defended James so well in the last game, mainly because James was really iron in the last game.

When Fisher defended James, he put James bigger.

Although O'Neal and Malone are behind him, Fisher and Payton still kept shooting when defending James. The reason is of course that O'Neal and Malone of the Nets are in the paint, while Carter and Richard Jefferson are crazy. The encirclement and suppression of Chen Xiao.

The Nets have a lot of space from the three-point line to the paint zone. If James succeeds in breaking through Fisher and Payton, it will be completely empty.

LeBron's shooting is not very good, but the Nets dare not give James too many complete open positions.

In order to gain a greater advantage in the fourth quarter, in order to lay the victory at the beginning, the Nets started Payton on Fisher, this is the Nets' opportunity.

This is also an opportunity for the Cavaliers.

"LeBron, I hope you can take more than 30 shots in this game, especially in the first three quarters. I hope you can take at least 8 shots in each quarter. Except for Chen, you don’t need to pass to Tyson and Darius. ball."

"Resolute, resolute, strong!"

"LeBron, you are King, and only you can bring God down from heaven!"

Before this big game, Carlisle's key player to stimulate was Jen.

From Diop to the present Xiao Zhan, in addition to Chen Xiao, Carlisle almost stimulated these young players of the Cavaliers.

I have to say that Carlisle's eloquence is really good.

Xiao Zhan yelled at his excitement.

Originally, Xiao Zhan, who had always been very resistant to shooting training, no longer carried out the dunk training that Xiao Zhan considered handsome in the training ground, but changed all training to shooting training.

"It's a matter of God to feel that it's a matter of God. It's my business whether or not you can hit the vacant seat!"

"If I can shoot all the open positions in the next game, then I can take God down from heaven!"

I am the only King in the world who can communicate with God, the emperor!

"Xiao Chen, am I right?"

"Yes, but Xiao Zhan, I think you should be more familiar with the emergency stop jumper."

"Xiao Zhan, your emergency stop jumper doesn't need to be so urgent, you can pause and take aim."

Chen Xiao, who instructed Xiao Zhan's shooting practice, said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up and nodded again and again.

In order to win the G5 Tianwangshan battle with the Nets, the Cavaliers are now confidently preparing for the battle.

On April 28, 2004, the night of the Cavaliers’ away game against the Nets, the Continental Airlines Center Arena in New Jersey.

At this time, there were 20,000 spectators, commentators from various countries on the sidelines, major media across the United States, and NBA player coaches and celebrities in front of the TV.

They are already looking forward to it.

The playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Nets are like this, which has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even Pat Riley, who thought the Cavaliers could cause a lot of trouble to the Nets before the start of the matchup, didn't expect the Cavaliers to cause so much trouble to the Nets.

"In this series, the Cavaliers are really favored by God."

Thinking of the way the Cavaliers have won in the past four games, Pat Riley couldn't help but envy.

This time in the playoffs, the Eastern Conference really made him wonder how to complain.

The No. 1 in the East and the strongest Nets in history play the Cavaliers. It seems that the Cavaliers have been driven to a desperate situation.

The third in the East, the Pacers who were blacked out last season. After four games, they were also tied 2-2 by the 76ers. They seem to be in desperate situation to be blacked out again.

The fourth in the East, their Heat, and the fifth Pistons in the East. In his opinion, this series is an absolute grip, but it was also 2 to 2, which he really missed the Pistons. Now, this civilian weak chicken team turned out to be a big bad wolf.

Even if it is the second Magic in the East and the seventh Raptors in the East, Duncan and Tracy McGrady's Magic G4 was very difficult and only defeated the Raptors led by Nash, scoring the big score 3-1.

Although the Raptors are behind 1 to 3, the Raptors have a chance to beat the big score to 2 to 2 in G4, as long as Marshall finally hits the three-pointer that can kill the Magic.

It can be said that after Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to defeat the Nets in G1, this season's Eastern Conference playoffs, like the virus spread, all became poisonous.

Of course, the most toxic is of course the Cavaliers and Nets pair.

"If we can easily beat the Pistons to advance, the Cavaliers and the Nets will be like this, for us, it's perfect!"

It's a pity that the Heat and Pistons in this round of the series are also very hard, not as easy as the Nets.

This made Pat Riley sigh.

In fact, Larry Brown was also sighing at this time and was watching the Cavaliers and Nets game.

At this time, the starting lineups of the Cavaliers and Nets have been played on TV.

At home, the Nets starter, center O'Neal, power forward Malone, small forward Richard Jefferson, shooting guard Carter, point guard Fisher.

In the away game, the Cavaliers start, center Diop, power forward Chandler, small forward Dalius Miles, shooting guard Chen Xiao, point guard James.

Judging from the starting lineups of the two teams, the starting lines of the two teams in this game are exactly the same as those in the last G4 game.

However, in fact, this game is completely different from the previous game.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams jumped the ball, Chandler once again beat O'Neal, the jump was successful, the Cavaliers began the first offense of the game.

The Cavaliers' first offense in this game, the Cavaliers did not focus on Chen Xiao as before.

After Chen Xiao took away the defense of Carter and Richard Jefferson through his own running position, James faced Fisher, who was half-stepping, and directly deceived him and leaned against Fisher, and then used his body. Power and dribble relied on Fisher's back and turned and broke through Fisher.

Payton's current defensive ability compared with Fisher, which one is better?

This is hard to say.

After all, Payton is not athletic enough now.

But when it comes to defending James, Payton is better.

The height is better, the strength is stronger, and the experience is more abundant.

LeBron’s breakthrough was a tank breakthrough. Players with insufficient athleticism like Payton and Bowen have a way to break through the tank after all.

But for offense, Phil Jackson can only change like this.

The Cavaliers were caught off guard in the last game, and the 12-point advantage was determined in the first quarter of the game, which directly defeated the Cavaliers.

Although these young Cavaliers are brave, they are still useless. James, who suddenly became the main attacker in the last game, played very badly under the sluggish hand, and finally dragged down the Cavaliers.

In this game, it is difficult for the Nets to win as easily as the previous game.

but!

Clang!

After James broke through Fisher, neither Carter nor Richard Jefferson went back to help defend. Malone went out to help defend, but it was too slow, and Malone would not help defend too far, at least not for James to break through. opportunity.

This allows James to have a lot of space and time for shooting in the mid-range and long-range two-point position.

At least when Fisher stood in front of James again, James was in an absolutely empty position.

Clang!

Before Fisher came up, James glanced at the emergency stop mid-range shot and hit the iron!

Seeing James' first strike, Phil Jackson was relieved.

James will definitely score better in this game than in the previous game.

This is for sure.

But James' shot can't kill anyone!

At the very least, you can't kill the Nets!

In the end, the worst situation for the Nets is just to fight the Cavaliers for the last moments.

And the Nets are still the leader.

"I absolutely don't believe that justice must believe in evil nonsense."

"I don't want you to think about it or believe it."

"Miller's time has been used up by God. Now, God has no time for Wonder Boy. Therefore, you don't have to have any pressure. The Nets will win!"

This is what Phil Jackson said to the desperate Nets players before the game.

The effect is outstanding!

When F7 was formed, the whole world was paying attention to these seven star players in F7. As for Phil Jackson...

Many people feel that replacing him with Grandma O'Neal and the Nets can also win this season.

Facts have proved that everyone still underestimates the head coach of the nine-time champion.

Without him, the Nets might have collapsed in this playoffs.

And now the Nets...

On the court, the Nets attacked, and after Fisher dropped the ball to O'Neal, this time O'Neal did not use small moves or play tricks. Taking advantage of Diop's defensive posture not fully in place, he grabbed Diop almost directly. This is Very expensive play.

Even if it is O'Neal, he can't do a game several times now.

But this time, UU read www.uukanshu. Com bang!

O'Neal directly smashed Diop and dunked with both hands!

2 to 0!

O'Neal's incredible shark-style offense made the Nets fans on the scene exclaim.

After O'Neal scored, he ignored Diop, who was defeated by him, and ran directly in front of Chen Xiao, shouting at Chen Xiao.

"The gift that God gave you is over, and your moment is gone!"

"Now, it's my moment!"
