I’m Really Playing Basketball

On April 19, 2008, three days after the end of the regular season, the Bobcats and Cavaliers’ round of the much-watched playoffs will be the season’s opener and will be played at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

Although the Bobcats are fifth and the Cavaliers are fourth, the Bobcats have a better record than the Cavaliers, and the Bobcats will have the home court advantage.

It stands to reason that, as the defending champion, with home court advantage, coupled with the record leading so much, the Bobcats should be more promising. But in fact, the Bobcats and Cavaliers are a very anxious battle, and many people are even more optimistic. Optimistic about the Cavaliers.

As for the reason, it's very simple. After Xiaopao and Randolph left, the Bobcats once again became Chen Xiao's team alone.

At least in the eyes of these experts.

The Cavaliers' Xiao Zhan is the best player in the league to defend against Chen Xiao.

If Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao die in this round of playoffs, it will be a huge challenge for the Bobcats to return to the single-core team.

Therefore, before the start of the playoffs, nearly 60% of experts were more optimistic about the Cavaliers as the final winner.

In this regard, the Bobcats and Jordan are very low-key.

Because this is true, if Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan die together, it is indeed very detrimental to the Bobcats.

However, the Bobcats are not without advantages. The Bobcats are the defending champions. This is their advantage. They are a more experienced team. In the playoffs, experience is very important.

Whether it's the experience of the players or the experience of the head coach, the Bobcats are the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Even if Jordan is a rookie coach, he feels that Mike Brown, the head coach of his Pendant Cavaliers in the playoffs, has no problem at all.

After all, in the playoffs of last season, old cunning people like Pat Riley and Phil Jackson were overshadowed by his ingenuity.

On the evening of April 19, the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the first game of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers.

In this game, Mike Brown, Jr. Zhan and the Cavaliers wanted to win first, by virtue of their morale, they won the away game.

But at the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers encountered Jordan and arranged a strange formation with an unconventional lineup.

In this game, the Bobcats did not line up their usual lineup, but made Chen Xiao appear as a power forward.

Bynum, Chen Xiao, Shane Battier, Granger, Roy.

To be honest, this lineup of the Bobcats really blinded Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

To be fair, Mike Brown is going to use Xiao Zhan to die with Chen Xiao in this game.

But judging from the formation of this army, Jordan did not give him such an opportunity at all.

In fact, if the head coach of the Cavaliers was not Brown but Carlisle at this time, he would certainly not make such a mistake.

Although Chen Xiao didn't play much inside after coming to the Bobcats, he is recognized as the most comprehensive player in the NBA. He can play in any position and is of first-rate level.

Although Jordan's tactical level is not very good, he is the NBA's most ingenious and resourceful head coach. Under such circumstances, Mike Brown should consider the changes of Jordan and the Bobcats.

The whole world knows that as long as James and Chen Xiao die together, the winner of the final match will be the Cavaliers, so can Jordan not know?

Now that Jordan knows it, do you think he will sit back and die with Jordan's character?

Maybe an ordinary NBA coach will not make such a huge change before the start of the playoffs. After all, Chen Xiao hasn't played inside for a long time.

However, Jordan is definitely not an ordinary head coach. He is the head coach who is most willing to gamble. In the playoffs of last season, he just bet Pat Riley and the Nets to death.

Since your Cavaliers' victory is that James and Chen Xiao will die together.

Then I won’t give you the chance to die together, so if it were coaches like Carlisle and Popovich, they would definitely count that Jordan was very likely to let Chen Xiao play inside in this game, thus staggering the direct match with Xiao Zhan. Duel.

But Mike Brown did not think of this.

I have to say that although Mike Brown has a good tactical level, especially a high level of defensive tactics, he is really not very good at responding to occasions or dealing with these things.

Therefore, even Cavaliers fans will feel that Mike Brown is a somewhat clumsy head coach.

The G1 of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers is particularly obvious.

The effect of Chen Xiao playing inside was immediate.

When Chen Xiao faces the Cavaliers, he can not only avoid the entanglement of Xiao Zhan, but also has rough offensive and defensive skills on the inside regardless of whether it is against Scola, who has a weak defense, or against the first playoff game. Of Oden, Chen Xiao's footsteps under the basket and inside back can be done with ease.

Originally, after Randolph left, the Cavaliers and Bobcats had an advantage in the inside comparison.

But after Chen Xiao was placed inside, it was obvious that the Bobcats had the advantage.

On the other side, although Chen Xiao has moved from a small forward position to a power forward, the Bobcats still have points that can match Xiao Zhan.

And this point is very solid.

Let's put it this way, Battier is definitely the league's top spot against Xiao Zhan besides Chen Xiao.

This allows Xiao Zhan to not worry about Xiao Zhan's sudden explosion even without Chen Xiao's defense.

On the other side, Jordan mentions Roy from the bench based on Mike Brown's love to **** James and doesn't believe in the characteristics of other rotation players, which is a finishing touch.

Roy can suppress the rookie Conley!

Granger also has an advantage in chasing Korver and chasing Korver.

Therefore, after Jordan, the Bobcats and Cavaliers should be a 50-50 matchup, but in the first game it became a one-sided match.

Because of the five positions, the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage except for James.

"It's a good trick to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot!"

Even Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su next to them were stunned by Boss Qiao's hand in this game.

If you know Teacher Zhang and the others are surprised at this time, Chen Xiao will definitely find it very strange.

I've been saying all year, Boss Joe is not the championship he won by holding my leg, he is really talented.

His coaching skills and tactics are not good, but he is better than on-the-spot, more strain, more wit, and even better than psychological warfare. In the entire history of the NBA, few people can match him.

Of course, Mr. Zhang, who underestimated Jordan's contribution to the Bobcats' championship last season, can't blame Mr. Zhang. After all, in China, Chen Xiao won the championship last season with a single core and a super single core!

So, don't worry about whether boss Joe or Cannon or Randolph, Granger, Roy, they all hug their legs.

Therefore, in this series of the Bobcats and Cavaliers, in the domestic atmosphere that the Bobcats are likely to be promoted to seven games, Jordan’s series of witty performances set off Mike Brown as a mentally retarded play, and brought the Bobcats. Easily eliminated the Cavaliers 4 to 1 when they advanced to the next round.

Boss Qiao, his reputation in the country rose in a mess for a while, and for a time the name of "Mike Zhuge Jordan" resounded throughout China.

Mike Zhuge Jordan, this nickname is arrogant enough, Boss Joe himself felt quite surprised when he knew it.

However, from another point of view, in this series with the Cavaliers, the performance of boss Joe is indeed quite superb.

G1, in the bottom tone of this series, the most important game in the most important game, Joe’s boss change, let the Bobcats beat the Cavaliers 106-93 at home, set the tone of this series in one fell swoop, and let Alexander, the young men of the Cavaliers.

In this game, Chen Xiao and Roy, who took Joe’s boss on the field, did not let him down. Chen Xiao successfully played Oden out of the foul crisis in this game, and Roy directly played the playoffs for the first time. Conley hammered it down.

Although Xiaozhan had a super-efficient performance of 19 of 12, 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists against Battier's single defense in this game, but because Oden was in a foul crisis, he did not have Oden's pick and roll. His lethality is greatly reduced, and the demeanor of the pick-and-roll king is not so strong.

At least this kind of efficiency can't lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Bobcats.

In the G2 game, Oden and Conley, who knew that they were under tremendous pressure, needed to prove themselves in this game, and Joe Boss was madly targeting the two in this game.

In this game, the two people who wanted to prove themselves were finally out of balance by the boss Joe.

It has to be said that it is really not easy for a rookie to play the playoffs for the first time and to take on such an important task.

Not to mention Oden and Conley, two players who still have obvious technical flaws and can be targeted.

Even if Joe Boss’s apprentice Durant, the biggest favorite of this season's Rookie of the Year, is a player who claims to have no weaknesses, this time he met the Heat in the playoffs, and after meeting Tony Allen, he struggled extremely.

The first game was 5 out of 15, hitting 10 irons and scoring 17 points.

In the second game, he made 6 of 22 and continued his efforts. He played 16 irons and scored 24 points.

In these two games, Durant was completely destroyed by Tony Allen from the scene.

However, what Durant is better than Oden and Conley is that this kid is really not afraid of his poor performance, nor is he afraid of hitting iron.

The first two games were so bad, and Mr. Tony was so miserable. In the third game, he still dared to take more shots. He took 28 shots and 12 of 28. Although the hit rate is still not that high, this time He scored 36 points and 4 blocks in the game but successfully led the Bucks to win at his home court.

Regardless of whether the Heat changed the court in this game, the team felt bad, at least, the Bucks seized the opportunity.

In Durant and Curry and Ray Allen's three-point rain won his first home game.

On the Cavaliers side, there is no such opportunity to seize the Bucks.

In the crucial G3 game, the boss of this game is still staring at the two young men Oden and Conley. Although Xiao Zhan wants to change his fate against the sky, he was 19 for 12 in three quarters, again efficient Scored 28 points.

But after three quarters, the Cavaliers are 26 points behind 51 to 77.

Good guy, after the first three quarters of the game, the Cavaliers with the highest score was Xiaozhan's 28 points, and none of the remaining players scored more than 5 points.

No way, the Cavaliers scored a total of 51 points in the first three quarters, Xiao Zhan scored 28 points alone, and the others added up to 23 points.

Obviously, Oden and Conley, the two young men trained by the Cavaliers this season, were destroyed by Joe's boss.

Therefore, the Cavaliers ended up as a team where Xiao Zhan played alone.

"Originally, we all thought that this series was the magic boy who is hard to sing alone, but we didn't expect LeBron James to be the one who really stubbornly sings alone!"

At the end of the G3 game, even TNT's commentator Barkley was shocked.

After the Bobcats and Cavaliers play in G3, there is basically no suspense in this series.

In particular, everyone can see that after the G3 home Cavaliers lost 72 to 108 to the Bobcats, except for Xiao Zhan, the hearts of everyone on this team were basically lost.

Well, it was broken up by Boss Joe.

Conley and Oden have played a very important role in the Cavaliers this season.

In the end, in G4 of this series, Xiao Zhan Chaoshen scored 14 of 29, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 15 of 20 free throws, 47 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, leading the Cavaliers to this game. Defeated the Bobcats 100 to 98 in a game, saving some face for the Cavaliers.

By the way, Chen Xiao's performance in this game was also very good, with 13 of 23, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 11 of 11 free throws, and 41 points.

However, apart from Chen Xiao in this game, everyone else is indeed very tough.

Tightened three games really need to relax.

Therefore, this game is not really about Chen Xiao and the Bobcats letting go, but it is indeed Xiao Zhan who changed his life against the sky and saved the face for the team.

With Xiao Zhan's current strength, it is indeed not so easy to sweep his team~www.NovelMTL.com~ He now has the strength to change his fate to win at least one game in the playoffs.

Of course, the opponent's strength cannot be strong enough to guard against the sky.

Of course, the Bobcats are not strong enough to guard against the sky.

Although they lost G4, but G5 returned to the home court, the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers 96-86 very smoothly and eliminated the Cavaliers.

In the first round of the entire series, Chen Xiao averaged 28 points, 11 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. In addition to 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game, Chen Xiao could almost be said to be a power forward. Played to the extreme.

On the other side, the Cavaliers’ Xiao Zhan scored 30+ in 4 games and 40+ in one game. He averaged 35 points per game, 35 points per game, 9.5 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks per game, and field goal percentage. 49%, 39% from three-pointers. With Battier's single defense throughout the series, Jen can be said to have played out his superpower perfectly.

In this series, Xiao Zhan can definitely say, "Don't blame him for losing."

In fact, Xiao Zhan was pitted by Xiao Mo last year, and this year, he was pitted by Oden and Conley.

Therefore, after the end of G5, Xiao Zhan was also a little confused.

But after looking at Chen Xiao, after a brief period of confusion, Xiao Zhan's face was determined again.

"Chen, I now feel more and more how great you were back then.

It turns out that it is so difficult to lead a team from scratch.

It turned out that leading a group of chicks-like teammates soaring into the sky is so grueling.

Chen, I will not give up, I will move on towards the back you left me! "

When Xiao Zhan hugged Chen Xiao excitedly, Chen Xiao didn't say much, but hugged Xiao Zhan backhand and said, "You can!"
