Chapter 273: The Nets' final struggle!

"I'm really playing basketball new( Find the latest chapter!

The Cavaliers beat the Nets away game, the first game of this year's Eastern Conference playoffs ended in the G5 Tianwangshan game.

Before the start of this year's playoffs, expert media actually thought that this year's Eastern Conference playoffs should be quite exciting.

The Cavaliers play the Nets, the Magic play the Raptors, the Pacers play the 76ers, and the Heat play the Pistons. Each group has a lot to watch.

Exciting is exciting, that is, no one thought that the first round of the Eastern Conference this year's playoffs would be so intense.

After the first five games of the four groups, the scores were all 3 to 2.

In addition to the Magic and Raptors, the Magic and the Raptors took a 3-1 lead and the Raptors pulled back one city. The other three games all played Tianwangshan 2-2.

Not to mention the Cavaliers and the Nets in the first game. The Cavaliers defeated the Nets in G5.

The second game was the Heat's home game against the Pistons. In the end, the Heat beat the Pistons very hard at home and won the crucial G5 victory.

Chen Xiao has watched the first five games of the Heat and the Pistons.

To be honest, the intensity of the matchups in this group is very strong, even more intense than that of the Cavaliers and the Nets.

And it's much bigger. Under the leadership of Carlisle last season, the Pistons were very **** defense and made great moves, and eventually hurt Rogo.

Chen Xiao asked Carlisle about this, and Carlisle was silent.

He did not say that this was his order, nor did he say that it was Daben's own decision.

In the end, he just said to Chen Xiao: "The civilian players want to have deterrence in defense. They must be tougher. All I can do is make them not so dark."

Chen Xiao has played against the Pistons many times in the past two seasons and knows how hard this team's defense is.

So he can be regarded as accepting Carlisle's statement.

But this time in the playoffs, I don't know if it was Larry Brown or Rasheed Wallace. The Pistons' defense in the playoffs this year has become tougher.

Their defense is not black, their elbows are going straight, never secretly lowering the elbow, they have been tough to the degree of iron and blood.

Therefore, in every game, Chen Xiao is actually quite worried about Wade and Yao Ming.

Especially Wade.

No kidding, this kid Wade doesn't like to shoot three-pointers. The offense is mainly in the middle and short range. That place is the easiest place to get a black elbow.

Dayao is high, in fact, it is not so easy to play a black elbow on Dayao.

Fortunately, this kid Xiaotai is also an expert in this area. He also taught Chen Xiao when he was in college.

In this regard, Wade is much more'decent' than Luo Ge.

Therefore, in the first five games, Wade and the Pistons’ predators’ ‘elbow forest battle’ was a 50-50 start.

However, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands. Although Wade is quite strong in this respect, but the elbow and forest confrontation will inevitably be injured.

Chen Xiao is still very worried about Wade.

Only after Chen Xiao expressed his concern for Wade, Wade didn't care about it on the phone.

"Chen, there is nothing to worry about the Pistons. We quickly eliminated the Nets. We will also end the series with the Pistons in the next game. See you in the next round. There will be no playoffs or regular seasons in the NBA. What's the difference, hahahaha!"

"..."

Arrogant, this kid is too arrogant!

Chen Xiao felt that if this kid were allowed to enter the finals, he might still feel that the finals were just as ordinary, so-easy.

Don’t you know that happiness leads to sorrow?

However, in a game like G5, Wade staged the first lore of his playoff career, breaking through to a layup, and carrying Rashid Wallace's defense to advance basketball. This really makes Wade a **** boy. Yong, feels as invincible as his idol Jordan.

The Heat and Pistons have a lot of talk about this round of the series, mainly because Chen Xiao pays more attention to it.

In this round of the 76ers and Pacers series, Chen Xiao did not pay much attention to it, but Chen Xiao knew that after the Pacers lost G5 at home, the Pacers were the same as last season and seemed to be hacked.

Last season, the Pacers were led by Ray Allen with a black three.

After black three, the Pacers changed their head coach.

This time, Van Gundy Jr. took the Pacers and met the 76ers led by Iverson in the playoffs.

Five games were still behind 2 to 3, and the match point was given.

In short, the four playoffs in the Eastern Conference this year are really exciting.

Compared with the eastern side, the western side is a bit one-sided.

After playing G5 on the East side, all four teams in the second round on the West side have been produced.

First of all, the Timberwolves, No. 1 in the West, easily swept the Trailblazers in No. 8 in the West 4-0. Without the Trail Blazers of Rasheed Wallace and Pippen, it is really not that hard.

No one expects a rebuilt team to compete with the only 60-win team in the West.

The second King in the West and the seventh Jazz in the West. When Malone Stockton was there, the game between the Kings and the Jazz was still very interesting, the ultimate offense to play the ultimate defense, but this season the Jazz is gone. Malone, there is no Stockton.

The reason why the Jazz can enter the playoffs this season is due to the fact that the West is weak enough this season and their head coach is strong enough.

But in the playoffs, the Kings are still too strong for the current Jazz.

4 to 0, the same is a sweep.

The Mavericks third in the West and the Nuggets sixth in the West, this group of matches is the most intense.

Under Anthony's leadership, the Nuggets lost 1-4 to the Dallas Mavericks. Well, the victory won by the Nuggets was the only game won by the four lower teams in the Western Conference.

In addition, the fourth Lakers in the West and the Grizzlies fifth in the West also played 4-0.

According to the predictions of many experts before the game, this group of Lakers and Grizzlies should be the most intense.

Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, Gasol, the Grizzlies' big boss, is indeed so ordinary.

It is not that the strength is not good, or the data is not so good-looking.

In fact, Gasol's statistics are also very good. As a power forward, he averaged 21 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in four games this year. How can you say that the statistics are poor?

But those who watched the game knew that the influence of his data was really quite average.

There is basically no break point in the game.

This kind of playoff performance, coupled with his skin color, the American media's evaluation is just one word, soft.

Well, yes, in history, Gasol was put on a soft label at this time.

Four games in the West, three sweeps, and one 4-1.

The speed of this promotion is almost the same as riding a rocket.

Many people ridicule, if the Pistons and Heat have a seventh game in this series.

So when the Pistons and the Heat played the seventh game, the Mavericks and the Kings started the second round at the same time.

As for why do you take the Heat and Pistons as an example?

Of course, although the first round of the Eastern Conference was intense, everyone felt that the Pacers and 76ers, the Magic and the Raptors, the Cavaliers and the Nets could not play the seventh game.

Both the 76ers and the Cavaliers have won G5 away games.

G6's return to the home court is definitely going to be accomplished.

And the magic and the Raptors...

Everyone can see that the Magic's first five games are still healthy.

So far in the playoffs, Duncan has not shown how strong he was when he played the Lakers last year and resisted OK.

April 30, 2004, the day of the G6 game between the Cavaliers and the Nets.

With the preparation of the first five games, in the predictions of many experts before this game, the Nets are definitely powerless.

The lead in the last game was eventually pulled back by the Cavaliers, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Nets players.

However, in the team's morning routine training, Cavaliers coach Carlisle has been emphasizing that it is not time for the Cavaliers to celebrate.

"We have not advanced yet. You must remember that we can say things that despise our opponents, but we must never do things that despise our opponents. What's more, this team is still the strongest team Nets in history, even if the Nets 1. Behind 3, they are still the strongest team in history. Don’t forget the lesson of Magic McGrady last year!"

To be reasonable, Carlisle is very qualified to say this.

After all, last year he led the Pistons to a 1-3 backward situation and finally completed a 4-3 reversal.

The strength gap between the Pistons and the Magic is much smaller than the strength gap between the Nets and the Cavaliers.

To be honest, in the game like this, Carlisle's biggest worry is that the Cavaliers have too many young players.

After the last game, the whole world praised the Cavaliers' young players too much, so he was very worried that these young players of the Cavaliers would really look down on the Nets.

This idea is actually very dangerous.

Last season, the Pistons fell behind by 1 to 3, and now the Nets are only 2 to 3 even though the mentality of the Nets has been collapsed by Chen Xiao.

Moreover, Carlisle never felt that the Nets were an entire team.

Carlisle couldn't find the reason for O'Neill, Malone and Carter, and Payton's mentality collapsed.

As long as their mentality does not collapse, no matter how the mentality of the rest of the Nets collapses, the impact will not be so great.

Especially before the start of this game, the Nets coach Phil Jackson kept talking outside during interviews, and if the Nets were no longer enough, this made Carlisle more cautious.

"Yes, after the last game, Derek did cry in the locker room. He thought it was his mistake. We all know that he has always been a very good player. Even if he had that mistake, he did. He is still a very good player. He is not to blame for that mistake. If it is really to be blamed, only Chen is to blame. The defensive interference is too good. At the same time, my tactics are not very clear.

"What are the expectations for this game? I have nothing to expect. Now we are 2 to 3 behind. If we lose another game, we will be eliminated. Now, our destiny is not in our own hands."

"I know that the whole world thinks that the next game will be our last game of the season, and now, I think so too."

"If I get hacked this time, Shaq will leave and Karl will retire? I don't know this. I can't make decisions for them. I can only make decisions for myself. If this season is not successful, I will leave New Jersey."

"Why did this round of the series be like this? I don't know. Maybe we have encountered the most amazing performance of the most amazing player in NBA history. I have never seen a player so amazing in the playoffs before, and neither has Michael. It's so amazing."

To be fair, when Phil Jackson was interviewed before the game, it was shocking to keep saying such very lowly things.

It doesn't matter whether Phil Jackson said that he was good at psychological warfare or he really felt it.

The important thing is that as the strongest team in history, it actually needs to use such methods to show the enemy and find the first-line vitality.

Last summer, when the Nets were finally formed, O'Neal, Phil Jackson, and Rod Thorne were full of spirits.

At that time, the whole world felt that the Nets were about to start their dynasty.

However, in just one season, the strongest Nets in history have been beaten to such a situation, this is no one thought of this.

At least, this time has already been promoted, watching Kobe Phil Jackson interviewed on TV, he never thought of it anyway.

Why did he shoot so crazy this season and want to break Jordan's scoring record?

Isn’t it because O’Neal’s fat man puts too much pressure on him?

Why would O'Neill put such pressure on him?

Isn't it because O'Neal's Nets are too strong?

This season, Kobe defaulted to O'Neal to win the championship, and O'Neal won the FMVP.

If O'Neal really gets such an achievement this season, if he can't play an amazing performance, he will be taunted to death by O'Neal.

Therefore, he must have a very good performance.

In any case, even if you fail to win the championship, you must have an amazing personal performance.

In the end, he almost surpassed Jordan.

He was unsuccessful.

But he did not expect that O'Neal would fail so much.

He has entered the second round with the Lakers.

But I didn't expect that O'Neal could not even make the second round.

And it was still hacked.

And there is no way to be hacked decently, but with such a low, low-pitched attitude.

He knows Phil Jackson and he knows it very well.

Phil Jackson must be playing psychological warfare.

If possible, Phil Jackson would definitely not want to look for the slightest opportunity in such a low voice.

He wouldn't do that even if he lost the series.

However, this time, he really couldn't bear the result of losing the series.

It's not just that he can't bear it.

O'Neal, Malone, Carter, Payton, they couldn't bear it either.

Therefore, Phil Jackson can only try his best, even if he compliments the young people in a low voice in front of the media, he can only do so.

"Humble, poor, and helpless."

As a predecessor, Kobe watched Phil Jackson's situation on TV, and really, he was quite sympathetic.

If he hadn't abandoned himself to follow O'Neal at the beginning, he would definitely not become like this.

However, this is his personal choice.

There is no way, who made him choose that fat man in the end?

The G6 of the Cavaliers and the Nets, this game is watching all over the United States.

After all, after all, the Nets are still the strongest team in history.

"If this time let the Nets get through this calamity, then no team will be the Nets opponent in this year's playoffs."

"Don't look at the Nets and the Cavaliers after the five games, the Nets were driven into a desperate situation by the Cavaliers. In fact, the Nets lead the Cavaliers in every game. The three games the Cavaliers won are amazing.

"It's not that the Nets are not strong enough, but that there is a **** standing opposite the Nets!"

"Except for the Cavaliers, no other team in the league has a God who can reduce the Nets' dimensionality!"

In front of the TV, Dougreaves was watching the game with Magic players.

For the Magic, if the Nets are out of this game, they are most willing to see.

After the Nets were out, the Magic was the strongest team in the East and the strongest team in the league.

To be honest, this time the playoffs, Dougreaves is under great pressure.

Magic's management is very aggressive, always very aggressive, Magic fans are very rough, always very rough.

The combination of the two will always do a lot of incredible things.

Dougreaves can be sure that if he can't succeed in the Magic this year, he will be driven away.

With such a team that is close to the full level, any head coach who has aspirations is reluctant to leave.

Therefore, this season, he must succeed!

And the Nets, the only known as the strongest team in history, is a sword that lies above them!

Now, this sharp sword is about to be taken away by the magic boy with his magical hands!

"The game has finally begun!"

On the evening of April 30th, at Gund Arena in Cleveland, amid the frenzied cheers of more than 20,000 fans, the Cavaliers and Nets, the most watched G6 game, finally started.

The Nets' starting players in this game are center O'Neal, power forward Malone, small forward Carter, shooting guard Fisher, and point guard Payton.

The Cavaliers’ starting players are center Diop, power forward Chandler, small forward Chen Xiao, shooting guard Crawford, and point guard James.

The starting lineups of both teams have changed in this game.

The Cavaliers stepped up their offense.

For a team with a mentality that may collapse, of course, it is necessary to build up a score advantage in one effort, otherwise it will change. If it is still behind in the previous few games, it may be possible for the Nets to find the mentality.

Therefore, this change for the Cavaliers in this game is foreseeable.

Even if it is a bit risky for Crawford to start, he must be risky.

Victory will not fall from the sky.

No matter how strong the Cavaliers are, they also need to take down the victory with their own hands, so the adventure is worth it.

The Nets' starting lineup is somewhat incomprehensible.

Richard Jefferson was taken off the starter.

Although Richard Jefferson averaged only 5 points per game in this series, it was because the Cavaliers' defense was too restrained by players like Richard Jefferson.

Richard Jefferson does not have James' unlimited right to fire, and it is normal for the scoring data to be low.

In fact, in the first five games, almost no experts and fans felt that Richard Jefferson performed badly, because his responsibility in the Nets series was mainly defensive.

And Richard Jefferson's defense in the first few games was very good.

Working with Carter to defend Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao defended him very well.

"After the last game, there have been rumors. O'Neal fiercely criticized Richard Jefferson after the game. He felt that Richard Jefferson defended the Wonder Boy in the next 35 seconds, allowing Wonder Boy and James to play twice. The second kings connected and caused O'Neal to 3+1, which is the most important reason for the Nets' loss in the last game."

"In the end, O'Neal bluntly said that Richard Jefferson is the inner ghost of the Nets, saying that he does not believe that there is a God in this world. At the critical moment of this series, the magic kid is possessed by God because of the magical defense. Richard Jefferson of the kid puts the water undercover."

"According to rumors, after O'Neal accused Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson slammed out of the door, and O'Neal reluctantly sprayed Martin. Martin's G1 sideline service error is the G1 Wonder Boy. The key to Miller's momentary defeat of the Nets."

After the Nets lined up their starting lineup, Barkley and Kenny Smith began to talk about gossip, not even the game itself.

In fact, O'Neal's anger in the locker room about Martin and Richard Jefferson is no secret among the NBA professionals.

At least, Chen Xiao knew it before the game.

Chen Xiao knew it, and of course Carlisle knew it too.

This is also an important reason why Crawford started in this game.

G1 Martin's mistake will not be mentioned.

G5. Obviously, if the Nets are really looking for a pot when they lose, the biggest pot must be Fisher's.

But who is Fisher?

That's O'Neill's direct brother.

Follow O'Neill all the way from Los Angeles to the younger brother in New Jersey.

When O'Neal confronted Kobe, he always stood by his side and supported his little brother.

With O'Neill's character, he would throw the pot to Fisher?

No need to think about it.

Finally, O'Neal thought for a while, and could only find the remnants of the two previous dynasties, Richard Jefferson and Martin.

"Chen, that fat guy has been watching Kenyang and I displease my eyes this season. If it wasn't for professionalism, if it wasn't for the big contract, we wouldn't want to do it a long time ago. To TM's fat guy, to TM's professionalism, I was Just change to spray him!"

"Chen, you must be careful in the next game. That fat guy did not give up. Martin and I were cleared by the team meeting, but we can see that they did not give up and may take advantage of these unfavorable things to the Nets. Paralyze you!"

"Chen, next game, help me get that fat guy a shot!"

Chen Xiao also knew that Richard Jefferson, who was suddenly attacked by O'Neal at the time, had been regretting it after he slammed out the door. He felt that he was counseled and embarrassed by O'Neal.

He should have a fight with O'Neill, and can't fight to find the boss in Los Angeles, picking up soap for the boss, picking up his hair, it is more comfortable than being at O'Neill's side ~www.NovelMTL.com~ being cold and violent by this fat man.

Thinking of Richard Jefferson's call yesterday, looking at the frustrated O'Neal and Nets players opposite, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers had strange expressions on their faces.

"Xiao Chen, these people are still singing Liao Zhai in front of us."

Good guy, Xiao Zhan, okay, I've all started to learn about Liao Zhai.

"This game, give them a big shot!"

After Chen Xiao whispered to the Cavaliers next to him, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players all had an arrogant look on their faces.

When Phil Jackson on the sidelines saw Chen Xiao and James and the Cavaliers playing on the field, his face looked like a beating. Although his face was miserable, he smiled in his heart.
