I’m Really Playing Basketball

bj time on May 19, 2012, this day in China, the Chinese viewers who were watching the sports news on the TV, all of them had a solemn and uncomfortable look on their faces.

At this time, the female anchor on the TV was broadcasting the G4 report of the Eastern Semifinals between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers with the same heavy heart.

"At 8:00 a.m. on May 19, bj time, the game between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs continued in Cleveland. Before the game, the Bobcats fell behind by a score of 1:2. The Cavaliers, this game for the Bobcats, need a turnaround victory.

However, after the start of the game, under the ubiquitous and tenacious defense of the Cavaliers, the Bobcats, who were completely at a disadvantage in the interior, quickly fell behind because of their sluggish offense. They only scored 12 points in the first quarter, the second After the first quarter, the Cavaliers were already 12 points behind.

In the second quarter, with Chen Xiao's performance of 8 of 11 and 20 points in a single quarter, the score was once chased to only four points, but soon, Greg Oden's two consecutive offensive rebounds assisted Mike Conley and Matthew. Sri Lanka hit a three-pointer to open the score again. In the end, the Cavaliers, who were playing at home, entered the second half with a huge advantage of 11 points.

In the first half of the game, the Bobcats lost their power again in the inside line, causing Rose and Jimmy Butler to help defend Oden in the inside line too much. They were troubled by fouls. The two scored only 4 and 2 points in the first half. Chen Xiao scored the most in 10 of 16 with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.

Because Rose was in deep foul crisis in the first half, Chen Xiao took on almost all of the team's organizational and scoring responsibilities in the first half.

In the third quarter, Chen Xiao continued to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team in chasing points. He scored 7 of 10 points in a single quarter, made 3 of 3-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. Under the strict defense of the Cavaliers, he scored 23 points again 6 in a single quarter. Rebounding and 3 assists, under the strength of Chen Xiao, the Bobcats chased the score to only 6 points in the third quarter, but the Cavaliers, with their huge inside advantage, always controlled the situation of the game, relying on James and Oden in a single quarter. With 10 points each, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers scored 33-30 in a single quarter, and the Cavaliers entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the Bobcats chose to rest Chen Xiao, who had played for 36 minutes in a row, but the Cavaliers, who had a six-player rotation in this game, played the main force. During the rotation time, the score opened again. Although Chen Xiao attacked with all his strength at the last moment, However, the score difference between the two sides was too large, and I also felt a drop in my hand. Although I made 4 of 13 free throws in a single quarter, and scored 6 of 8 free throws, I scored 14 points in a single quarter, and scored 63 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists. Super triple-double, but the ball The team unfortunately lost another 92-103.

In the end, the Cavaliers took a 3-1 lead at their own home and won the promotion point, while Chen Xiao and the Bobcats were forced into a desperate situation.

"

Watching the female anchor of CCTV broadcast the news on TV, to be honest, the Chinese audience in front of the TV is really suffering.

The game was arguably a microcosm of the past three games in this series.

Facing the initial eight-player rotation of the Cavaliers, then the seven-player, and then to the six-player rotation in this game, the Cavaliers continuously improved their game intensity, while the Bobcats players lost control because of the inside line. Fouls are uncontrollable, rebounds are uncontrollable, and the court is completely lost.

Under such circumstances, the burden of the game was almost completely placed on Chen Xiao's shoulders.

That is, in this game, Jordan let Chen Xiao rest for five minutes in the fourth quarter.

Otherwise, Chen Xiao will play 48 minutes in three consecutive games.

And this game can be said to be the pinnacle of Chen Xiao carrying the team on his shoulders.

But there is no way, I can't bear it at all. Let's just say that in this game, in the five minutes after Chen Xiao went off the court in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats only scored 4 points under the defense of the main force of the Cavaliers.

In the next seven minutes, the Bobcats scored 15 points, 14 of which were scored by Chen Xiao.

In this game, the Cavaliers' six-man rotation, all five starters played more than 45 minutes, and James and Conley Danny Green all played 48 minutes.

This play, the defensive damage to the Bobcats is indeed huge.

In addition, Rose is in deep foul crisis in this game.

In the end, Chen Xiao scored a triple-double of 60+ again, and the team actually lost the biggest loss in the series by 11 points.

You know, the last time Chen Xiao had a 60+ triple-double in the finals, he defeated that magical calf by himself.

As long as Chen Xiao plays such a magical game, even that magical calf can beat it.

But now facing the Cavaliers, even with such a miraculous performance, Chen Xiao still has no way to win. This is indeed hurting the Chinese audience.

"Perhaps, this knight is the strongest opponent Chen Xiao has encountered in the past three years!"

From a week ago, when the Bobcats won bj time on May 13, to now on May 19, they have lost three games in a row and are facing the imminent elimination.

Now, the Chinese audience, who has always been confident in Chen Xiao, finally realized the strength of the Cavaliers.

Now, Chinese audiences, Chinese fans, finally know that the NBA this season is really more than just the Bobcats.

At the very least, the Cavaliers, this team is indeed stronger than last season.

And it's very, very much stronger.

In this series, the pair of insiders of Oden and James can be said to have broken the mentality of the Chinese audience.

The omnipotence of these two people on the inside is simply terrifying.

In fact, from the fact that Chen Xiao averaged 15 rebounds in this series, it can be seen that the important task of the Bobcats to protect the rebounds actually depends on Chen Xiao.

You know, Cousins ​​and West are actually good rebounders.

However, the Cavaliers are really too good to grab.

Oden pressed Cousins ​​to death at the basket, and James had the same huge advantage in the confrontation with West. More importantly, Danny Green and Matthews were also very capable of grabbing.

Of course, the most important thing for the Cavaliers is James and Oden.

Chen Xiao was so ruthless in this game, but he still lost in the end. The main reason is that Oden and James always stood up after Chen Xiao went crazy, either grabbing offensive rebounds for their teammates, or scoring by themselves.

When your team has Oden and James, the two insiders who can control everything, as a teammate, you will have a lot more confidence in the offense.

And if your interior can't control the rim and the rebound, your shooting pressure will also increase.

And this is one of the biggest difficulties for the Bobcats in this series.

In short, after the Cavaliers lead the Bobcats 3-1, even the fans in China, where Chen Xiao is based, have already felt broken.

This is not to mention the audience on the American side.

After the Bobcats lost the G4 game away, ESPN immediately gave the probability of the Cavaliers advancing to the next round. According to ESPN's basketball strength index, the Cavaliers had a 79% probability of advancing to the next round.

The odds are higher than the Bucks, who also lead 3-1 on the other side.

After all, although the Bucks lead 3-1, from the content of the game, the Bucks' advantage is not that big.

Although the Bucks have always restrained the Heat after Bosh left, and the Bucks also eliminated the Heat last season, but to be honest, the Heat are still quite strong, so each game in the series did not lose more than 5 games. point.

Therefore, the Bucks promotion probability is only 65%, the Heat does not look as desperate as the Bobcats.

Of course, anyway, the Bobcats and Heat, the two teams that have dominated the NBA for the past few years, have collectively gone awry in the playoffs this season, with both teams looking to be out.

Therefore, after the Bobcats and Cavaliers game, many online media in the United States played: "The old era is coming to an end, and a new era is coming!"

It has to be said that in the current situation, this is really the case.

The Cavaliers led by James and Oden.

The Bucks led by Durant and Curry Allen.

These two teams are among the youngest of the NBA's superteams and have one of the healthiest cap spaces.

Next season, the Heat, Bobcats, Lakers, and Timberwolves will all face the crisis of dismantling their teams.

And these two teams can continue to maintain their very competitive lineup.

If both the Heat and the Bobcats lost the series this season, do you believe the Bobcats and the Heat can make a comeback next season?

This is almost impossible.

Therefore, even though Chen Xiao may still be the number one player in the NBA in the next three years, the most powerful player in the NBA, but he and his Bobcats are definitely getting farther and farther away from the NBA championship.

The same is true for the Heat.

The Heat are not weak. Against the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, the Heat have advantages. However, there is a team in the East called the Bucks, which is to restrain them.

As long as they can't beat the Bucks, they can't make it to the Finals again. Valley

This situation is very similar to that of Chen Xiao and the Bobcats. Chen Xiao and the Bobcats were also strong, but they couldn't get past the Heat, and they couldn't win the championship.

All I can say is that it really is now and then.

In short, on the Chinese side, because both Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have encountered a huge crisis, everyone is very unhappy, but, although everyone is very sad, they still need to support Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

But on the American side, the American audience is not supporting Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

Most people are watching the excitement and the excitement of the end of the era.

After all, from 2003 to 2011, eight of the nine NBA championships belonged to Chen Xiao and Yao Ming Wade.

Saying that three people ruled an era in the NBA is really not a problem at all.

Just like the era of the Magic Birds and the Celtics, it was longer than the Jordan era. After all, Joe Boss retired for two years.

For the end of such an era of giants, it is absolutely untrue to say that most of the people who eat melons are sad, rather than happy to watch the fun.

Of course, most of them are watching the excitement of Chen Xiao. After all, Chen Xiao has won five championships and is the worthy first person in this era.

Moreover, many people are laughing at Chen Xiao. After all, Chen Xiao has always been arrogant in the United States. Even if it is not arrogant, when you encounter difficulties, there will be a lot of people who fall into trouble.

Besides, you are still so cold.

Therefore, O'Neal, who had backstabbed Erye Pi before, saw that Chen Xiao was 1-3 behind, he finally couldn't help but jumped out and tore off the label of "Friends of Chen Xiao" on his body.

Then he shouted to all the audience in front of the TV: "I said, whether it's Kobe or Chen Xiao, without me, they will never be able to win a dynasty or even a championship!

I certainly don't deny Chen's first three championships, that's really great, but man, the era of those three championships is completely different from the era the NBA is in now. In 2008, Chen's three championships would never appear.

Now, you see, with me, he can win two championships in a row, and without me, he can't make it to the Eastern Conference finals now. "

Having said that, this dead fat man is quite proud.

This is really not afraid of being slapped in the face.

Of course, in the current state of the Bobcats, it's hard not to let people say that, because O'Neal is really not afraid of being slapped in the face.

On the strength of the Cavaliers, the huge inside advantage of the Cavaliers, coupled with the big 3-1 advantage, the Bobcats can't turn over.

And now the lynx, I am afraid it has collapsed, right?

Indeed, in the eyes of everyone, the Bobcats, which lost three games in a row, collapsed.

After all, even the Heat are 1-3, they just lost two games in a row, slightly better than the Bobcats.

But, in fact, did the lynx really collapse?

Of course it didn't crash.

Seriously, in the three losing streaks between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, except for the miserable loss of G4, the other two games were still full of anxiety.

Otherwise, the Cavaliers wouldn't take the risk of using a six-player rotation in g4.

Just because a seven-man rotation doesn't guarantee that they can beat the Bobcats.

And these three games, the Bobcats did not come up with all the backhand.

At the very least, even if it was G4, Chen Xiao had already fought a game that required a victory, and once again scored a triple-double of 60+ in the playoffs, but Jordan's rotation time in the fourth quarter made Chen Xiao. rest.

It can be seen from this move that Jordan does not feel that the game is lost and the series is over.

When Jordan was the head coach, his other abilities were average, but his mental strength, his calmness and calmness in desperate situations were absolutely unparalleled.

In fact, this is indeed the case. G5, when the game returned to his home court, Jordan made adjustments to the starting lineup of the Bobcats. At such a moment, it took a lot of courage to make adjustments to the lineup.

Roy Hibbert, Big Lopez, Chen Xiao, Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose.

The Bobcats' two starting insiders were all changed.

Roy Hibbert, 2 meters 18, 122 kg.

Brook Lopez, 2 meters 13, 125 kg.

These two insiders can be said to be insiders with extremely strong frame protection capabilities, even as a double center.

And Jordan's adjustment made this crucial g5 game indeed undergo some changes.

In this game, the Bobcats' inside line was finally no longer a place for the Cavaliers to have fun.

Of course, as far as the morale of the Cavaliers is now, even if the Bobcats' inside line has become an impregnable wall, Oden and James are not wrong.

After all, Chen Xiao has been defeated by Chen Xiao in the playoffs for so many years, and now, he is about to defeat Chen Xiao.

The excitement of Oden and James can be imagined.

And the two are in good shape now.

In this game, Oden faced the Bobcats' double center. He was crazy inside. He scored 11 of 24 points and scored 30 points. However, Oden only had 13 rebounds in this game, especially in the frontcourt. 2 rebounds.

And James, this game was 12 of 30, scored 40 points and sent 7 assists in the game, but like Oden, he had very few rebounds in this game, only 8, and the same offensive rebounds There are only 2.

Losing control of the rebound, coupled with the reduced efficiency of the offense at the rim, the offense was slowly pushed to the perimeter.

This makes the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive control decreased. When you can't make a shot, the opponent can grab the rebound, and your control will decrease, which is why the person who controls the rebound can control the game. s reason.

When everyone is in a positional battle and the situation is evenly matched, the Bobcats' singles ability and the thickness of the Bobcats' lineup are huge advantages.

110 to 101!

Going back to g5 at home, the Bobcats won the next game.

g6, came to Cleveland again, the Cleveland Cavaliers still did not have the advantage in the inside, and the outside attack still felt bad.

In particular, James, who played the whole game in this game, made 11 of 32 shots. Although he scored 33 points, he was only 1 of 9 three-pointers.

On the Bobcats side, after stabilizing the inside line in this game, whether it is Chen Xiao's singles, Rose's singles, or Roy's singles, they are stronger than the Cavaliers in terms of stability.

The same intensity, the same super positional warfare, the Cavaliers really can't beat the Bobcats.

Also 1-3 behind.

The Heat were eliminated 2-4 by the Bucks after six games.

And the Bobcats, after losing three games in a row, actually won two games in a row, chasing the final big score to 3 to 3!

After falling behind 1 to 3, and finally being chased to 3 to 3, the game entered a tiebreaker that no one knew how.

Like a world where the Bobcats are 1-3 behind.

"The era is over?"

"As long as Chen is still on the court, his era will not end."

Jordan said with a smile at the 3-3 post-match press conference, and the world was once again dumbfounded.
