I’m Really Playing Basketball

On April 22, 2009, the Charlotte Bobcats, who narrowly defeated the Cavaliers in their first game, continued to face the fifth Cavaliers in the East at the Charlotte Bobcats Stadium at home.

Many people say that the Cavaliers and Bobcats' wins and losses in this round of the series have no meaning, but for both parties in this series, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Bobcats, there is no meaning to give up this series.

Whether it makes sense to hit the Heat is not what other people say, but what you say.

Even if you lose, you need to charge like a warrior, so that you can be a hero.

And Chen Xiao and Xin Xiaozhan, who was trained by him, can definitely be called heroes.

Therefore, the spectators who thought that the first game between the two sides would be very intense, it was impossible to be more intense, the second game of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers was stunned.

In G2 of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, the Bobcats want to win and hope to end this series of preparations and the Heat's game as soon as possible.

The Cavaliers are also eager to win, they hope that they can stand in front of the Heat.

Especially after the G1 of the two sides, the Cavaliers found that they were not completely incapable of changing hands against the Bobcats as before.

After Oden grew up, facing the Bobcats, who had always had problems with the inside strength, the Cavaliers had a huge advantage.

In the last game, Jordan used Lopez Jr. to make a successful change in the second half. This was entirely due to the lack of response from the Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

If you switch to Popovich or Pat Riley, Jordan will pin Oden’s hopes of defending Oden on a young player like Lopez Jr. who will play the playoffs for the first time, Popovich or Pat Riley, etc. A mature head coach will definitely make Jordan pay the price.

Although the bread contest did not cost Jordan at the time, the Cavaliers felt tremendous pressure as soon as G2 came up.

In G2 of the Bobcats and Cavaliers, Jordan used Lopez Jr.

The current little Lopez does not have any offensive capabilities.

When your center does not have any offensive ability, the opponent's defense will become very simple as long as it is firm.

For any team, pick-and-rolls from outside and center are very important tactics.

But because this player is Lopez Jr., the pick-and-rolls of the Bobcats outside and the center are almost abolished.

Anyone on the Bobcats seeking a pick-and-roll screen with Lopez, the Cavaliers will resolutely flanking.

Lopez's offensive ability is so bad, logically speaking, the Bobcats should give up letting Lopez go out to seek cooperation with teammates.

However, Jordan and the Bobcats can't do this, even if they know that Lopez's offense is terrible, they must try to pull Lopez out.

This is not for anything else, it's all about pulling Oden out of the basket.

As the second highest in blocked shots this season, second only to Howard, with an average of 3.4 blocks per game, Oden's defense is very good.

If Oden is not pulled out, it is impossible for the Bobcats to push the offensive line inside.

And this is very embarrassing.

Let alone those rounds that didn't pull Oden out.

Even if Oden is really pulled out, Oden doesn't care about Lopez and does not switch defenses at all, but directly flanks the Bobcats' ball-handling players.

As far as Oden's height and wingspan coupled with his athletic ability and mobility, this flanking blow will cover the sky and the sun.

Chen Xiao's passing and vision are the best in the Bobcats, but he can hit the ball into the hands of the undefended little Lopez in the clip between Oden and Xiao Zhan.

But after hitting the ball in his hands?

The big center of the Bobcats is not so athletic. More importantly, he doesn’t have the ability to hold the ball. What’s more important is that he doesn’t have the ability to organize the ball and find teammates. When he receives the ball, he understands. When it came time to attack, the Cavaliers' defense was cleaned up again.

This makes people quite desperate.

When Little Lopez tried to cooperate with Chen Xiao, even if Oden came out, the Bobcats couldn't catch the opportunity.

While López and the other Bobcats cooperated, Oden didn't come out at all, and the Bobcats still couldn't get the offense inside.

Although the Bobcats players can shoot except for López, unless it is a player like Chen Xiao, Jordan and Durant, Ray Allen, Kobe, otherwise you can shoot outside and your field goal percentage will not be better. Strong inside.

It can be said that in the G2 game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers directly sealed the inside scoring of the Bobcats.

The Bobcats' offense was floating outside the entire game.

The Cavaliers are a combination of inside and outside.

Although the Bobcats have stronger personal abilities in positional singles, this kind of individual singles floating outside is naturally less efficient than the Cavaliers' singles combining inside and outside.

After all, no matter when, the closer you get to the rebound, the easier it is to score. This theorem is always correct.

Therefore, after Lopez was put in this game, the disadvantages of the Bobcats became more obvious.

I have to say that the bread coach has problems everywhere, but the ability to develop defensive aspects is really strong.

With Lopez Jr., the bread coach used his own defensive design to fragment the Bobcats' offense, and Jordan on the sidelines went crazy.

The disadvantage is too great!

Even after Lopez played off the bench, the Bobcats' rotation advantage became even greater, and the Bobcats could not use the advantage of rotation to make up for the disadvantages of the bench.

I have to say that the one who has the basket has the world, this is very reasonable.

The final score of the game was 92 to 98. The Bobcats lost the G2 game against the Cavaliers at home.

Both teams' offenses were difficult in this game.

The Bobcats' offense was difficult because the bread coach completely strangled the Bobcats' offense.

The Cavaliers did not play well in offense, mainly because Xiao Zhan met Chen Xiao, and it was difficult to play well. Oden put a lot of energy on defense and coordinating teammates in this game, and his offense did not. Open.

So in this game, the Bobcats shot only 38%, while the Cavaliers shot 42%, which is not high.

Chen Xiao performed very well in the last game. In this game, he made 8 of 24, 5 of 15 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 25 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

It can be seen from Chen Xiao's data that Chen Xiao is the most external one pushed by the Cavaliers.

When the other Bobcats were offensive, the Cavaliers had no other targeted arrangements other than pushing them outside.

But for Chen Xiao, there are more targeted arrangements for this game.

Chen Xiao basically only needs to get into the three-point line, except for Xiao Zhan's single defense, the help defense will come right away.

In the end, Chen Xiao could only continue to expand his offense.

And because of the protection of his teammates behind him, Xiao Zhan is not afraid of being broken by Chen Xiao behind him. The defensive intensity of this game against Chen Xiao is also very strong.

This resulted in Chen Xiao shooting a lot of extremely difficult shots in this game.

In the case of Chen Xiao's game feeling very ordinary, when you face James' single defense plus Oden's help, it is not shameful to be able to play such an efficiency.

On the other side, Xiao Zhan deliberately limited his desire to attack. He only took 12 shots, 5 of 12, 5 of 6 free throws, 0 of 3 three points, and 15 points and 10 rebounds. 8 assists.

Oden still scored the most points in this game.

Because this game is more focused on defense and supporting teammates, Oden only shot 14 times, 7 of 14, not many shots, not many hits, but more points, of course because of more free throws.

In the fourth quarter of this game, after Lopez Jr. sent off, it became Oden's rush and free throw performance.

After Lopez Jr. went down, the Bobcats' center, whether it was Lopez, DeAndre Jordan or Roy Hibbert, could not steal Oden. In this quarter, Oden shot 9 times in a single quarter and only made 3 hits. , But grabbed 5 offensive rebounds, made 14 free throws in a quarter, and hit 10 of them.

In this section, the Bobcats sent 16 fouls in a single quarter.

Well, you are not mistaken, it is indeed 16 fouls in a single quarter. Although these 16 fouls, the Bobcats actively "slash the sharks", more of it is the passive shark slashing after the Cavaliers grabbed the second offense, especially the slashing. Oden.

In this game, Oden made 18 free throws, hit 12 of them, and scored a game-high 28 points.

Throughout the game, the Cavaliers made 46 free throws, 30 more than the Bobcats. In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers made 28 free throws in a single quarter.

You know, this is the home of the Bobcats.

It can be seen that the Bobcats have a huge inside disadvantage in this game.

It can be said that the fourth quarter of this game is the epitome of the Bobcats and the collapse of the Bobcats.

The Bobcats lost only 6 points in this game. It was really thanks to Chen Xiao's defense against Xiao Zhan.

In G2 of the Bobcats and Cavaliers, the scene where the Bobcats were completely destroyed by Oden alone made the whole world see the weakness of the Bobcats after Bynum left.

Many people say that the Bobcats and Jordan made blood for Bynum's deal. Bynum was traded for 7 first-round picks. Isn't this a blood profit?

But after the playoffs started, everyone had different thinking when they saw the four rookie centers of the Bobcats shivering under Oden's ferocity.

Bynum's departure may bring many things to the Bobcats in the future.

But for now, Bynum's departure means that the Bobcats have completely lost the strength of the inside line.

In the current Eastern Conference, many powerful players have a very powerful center.

Yao Ming of the Heat, Milicic of the Raptors, Oden of the Cavaliers, Howard of the Magic, Big Z of the Bulls and so on.

Maybe when the Bobcats meet these teams, it may be worse than when they meet the Cavaliers.

The Bobcats and the Cavaliers’ G2, this internal collapse-style fiasco brought not only discomfort to the Bobcats, but also made Jordan completely give up the idea of ​​letting the four young centers he selected this season shine. .

In this season's playoffs, the Bobcats can't believe their center can stand up to other opponents.

Therefore, we can only find another way, and we can only follow the five small tactics of the Bobcats at the bottom of the box!

The five small tactics of the Bobcats only appeared once when they played the Bucks, and they have been treasured by the Bobcats. In the first round of G3 game against the Cavaliers, the five small tactics of the Bobcats appeared again. In front of everyone.

On April 25, 2009, Gund Arena of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because the Cavaliers did not sell to the dog-blooded owner who issued loans like in history, Gund Arena did not change its name to ‘Quick Loans Arena’.

Although the name of the NBA arena has no connotation, it is definitely the Cavaliers’ "quick loan arena" that the name of the NBA arena has the lowest name in history. This name is simply obvious. Ruo reveal.

Of course, after Xiao Zhan’s wife bought the team from Gund’s boss, she is also preparing to change the name of the team’s arena.

According to Chen Xiao's understanding, Xiao Zhan's wife Savana is now hesitating whether to change Gunde Arena to "King James Arena" or to "Center".

Savana’s first choice is of course King James Arena, but her husband Jen’s achievements in Cleveland seem not enough to enjoy this honor.

I really want to change my name to this, I'm afraid those Chen Xiao fans who are not in Cleveland will be upset, and will not have a good reputation for Xiao Zhan.

The center, which is the abbreviation of King-James God-Chen Center Arena, can be said to be a name supported by all fans in Cleveland.

If you really want to change the name to this, Xiao Zhan is willing, but Savana, as the boss, always feels a little unwilling. By the way, Chen Xiao and Savana have no problem with the relationship, and they are also friends.

But which woman thinks her husband is not unique?

This is of course understandable.

Therefore, the name of the Cavaliers home is still up in the air.

Savana just hopes that her husband can get some harder honors on her own, and then change her name.

However, from the current point of view, it seems that we have to wait.

So Savana has decided that the Cavaliers will change their name to the center next season, which is the King-James God-Chen Center Arena.

As for the King James Arena, which is ranked first in her mind, wait until her husband has achieved a unique achievement in the Cavaliers, and then change the name back.

Although the name change of the Cavaliers' home stadium is about to next season, the statues of Chen Xiao and James are already facing each other outside Gund Arena, the Cavaliers' home stadium.

It can be seen that the preparations for the name change of Gund Arena have been completed, just waiting for the official name to be changed.

So when I came to Gunde Arena this time, Chen Xiao found that the arena was full of traces of his struggle in this arena~www.NovelMTL.com~ This made Chen Xiao very heartwarming, and left him with them. The traces below are also very nostalgic.

And just when Chen Xiao missed all of Gunde Arena.

In front of the TV, Yao Ming, Wade, Heat and other NBA players, the team was in full time watching the game between Cavaliers and Bobcats.

The Cavaliers, Oden, Scola, James, Korver, Conley.

Bobcats, Chen Xiao, Shane Battier, Granger, Roy, Rose.

Many people are looking forward to it at this time.

And when the Bobcats, who were pushed to a desperate situation by the Cavaliers, finally beat the Cavaliers 121 to 109 in the away game, those in front of the TV who were looking forward to the five Bobcats were not disappointed.

"The fifth element of the Bobcats finally appeared again!"

"And it's still so strong!"
