I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 689: The future is yours.

Because the story of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers went from 1 to 3 to 3 to 3, the ups and downs of the story made the entire NBA go crazy.

When the Bobcats went 1 to 3, the NBA went crazy once, and many people were excited that the Bobcats were finally going to withdraw from the stage of history, and their chance was coming.

Now it's 3 to 3, and these people who were crazy before are now completely dumbfounded.

After all, now fools know that the Libra of this series has come to the Bobcats.

The Cavaliers didn't have a good chance of 3-1, and now it's 3-3, and the Cavaliers' chances are running out.

Especially in the first six games, the Cavaliers' head player LeBron James has played the full 48 minutes in five games.

Although it is said that James is a famous iron man in the NBA, like Chen Xiao, but this season, James has gained weight and played a power forward, which has put a huge load on his body.

Why is Chen Xiao also very good at playing inside, and Jordan just doesn't let Chen Xiao play inside regularly?

Because you want to stay on the inside, you need to gain weight.

If you're just a cameo in a certain game or a certain series, like Chen Xiao, it doesn't matter.

However, a cameo like Chen Xiao is definitely not as good as a resident like Xiao Zhan in terms of combat effectiveness. After all, physical confrontation will indeed suffer a lot.

This is also the reason why Jordan did not let Chen Xiao play power forward against Xiao Zhan, no matter how difficult this series was.

David West couldn't stand Xiao Zhan, and Chen Xiao was also a gift when he went, so it might be better to keep Chen Xiao on the outside.

With Chen Xiao's current physical fitness and stamina, he will not be as tired as Xiao Zhan even if he keeps him on the perimeter for 48 minutes.

In fact, in the previous two games, there was a problem with Xiao Zhan's physical condition.

In the first four games of this series, Xiao Zhan's perimeter shooting was very stable. In fact, in the regular season this season, Xiao Zhan's three-point shooting rate reached more than 40%, 40.5%, and two points in the long distance. The hit rate is also as high as 46%.

In the playoffs, Xiao Zhan also maintained such an outside offensive efficiency.

But in the first two games, Xiao Zhan's outside shooting percentage suddenly collapsed.

In the past two games, Xiao Zhan's three-point shooting rate was almost a horrible 3-for-17, and he made 1-for-9 three-pointers in a single game.

Xiao Zhan stabilized his perimeter shooting for a season, but suddenly collapsed. It is difficult to say that this is mainly a problem of strength, but it is obviously a bigger problem of physical strength.

A sign of physical inadequacy is a decrease in shot consistency.

What makes people desperate is that because of the Bobcats' double center lineup, Xiao Zhan's interior offensive space is reduced and more outside shots are needed.

But now the peripheral projection is suffering from unstable physical strength.

You say, what does this make the Cavaliers do now?

Even die-hard Cavaliers fans are desperate after the G6 game.

It can only be said that Xiao He also defeated Xiao He. The Cavaliers' six-player rotation really allowed them to gain the initiative and advantage of this series, and almost killed the Bobcats.

But the six-man rotation that once gave them the edge became toxic when they didn't take the slightest chance to let the Bobcats catch their breath.

So, Donovan, who was hailed as a "god coach" when he was leading 3-1, became an adventurous head coach with mixed reputations after 3-3.

The speed of change in the reputation of the fans is staggering.

In coaching and professional circles, though, Donovan's strategy against the Bobcats in the semifinals was more praised.

In fact, there is really no way to do this.

If the Cavaliers have such a thick lineup as the Bobcats, Donovan should not come like this. In order to defeat the Bobcats, such a slanted sword is also a very good attempt.

After all, they really got such an opportunity.

It's just that the Bobcats' lineup is really too thick.

After the combination of Cousins ​​and David West collapsed, they could still come up with a completely different style and a completely different combination of insiders like Roy Hibbert and Lopez.

This is impossible for any team in the entire league.

Therefore, after 3 to 3, many people are looking back at the time when Jordan, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the Bobcats center, suddenly chose the big and small Lopez, DeAndre Jordan, Roy Hibbert and other young potential centers to come to the Bobcats to raise Gu. .

Although DeAndre Jordan and Lopez are gone now, there is no doubt that Roy Hibbert and Lopez are indeed raised.

It can only be said that the stupid operation that Jordan was ridiculed by the second-class experts in the past was directly consecrated a few years later.

So, now, the tone of those experts has all changed.

"Many people say that Jordan is not a powerful head coach. I agree with this. Cavaliers head coach Donovan is definitely stronger than Jordan as a head coach. However, Jordan is not an ordinary head coach. Your coach is stronger than him. Strong, does not mean you can beat him, because he is also one of the greatest general managers in NBA history, the general manager with the most draft vision, the players he can select with his strongest vision, endlessly No matter how strong you are, you can only have one lineup and one main tactic, but Jordan, you can have countless kinds, one can’t, and then another, until you find a target for you. lineup and style of play.

For a traditional head coach like Donovan, facing an opponent like Jordan is out of specification. "

The Bobcats and the Cavaliers haven't played G7 yet, but Jordan has been named God, and of course, Chen Xiao is also named God at the same time.

After all, Chen Xiao's performance in this series is also excellent, not to mention 30 games, four triple-doubles in six games, and a triple-double of 60+.

Now, in this series, Chen Xiao is not averaging 30+ triple-doubles per game, but averaging 40+ triple-doubles per game. Chen Xiao's points and assists contributed more than 60% of the Bobcats' total points.

One person is responsible for more than 60% of a team's offense, and Chen Xiao's performance in this series is indeed a blast.

Faced with this sudden change in public opinion, if you want to say who is the most uncomfortable person, it must be Xiao Zhan's.

After parting ways with Chen Xiao in Cleveland, Chen Xiao has won four championships in seven seasons, while he himself has not won a championship.

Although he also knew that he was far behind Chen Xiao in terms of his ability to lead the team, he was not discouraged. He was still cultivating young teammates in Cleveland step by step, who could support his comrades.

Seven years later, Oden, Conley, Danny Green, Matthews and a new batch of trusted teammates have indeed appeared by his side.

At the same time, seven years of hard work have brought him closer to the chance to lead Cleveland to the highest honor.

Let's just say, James felt that he had touched that opportunity a week ago.

At that time, the Bobcats were ahead 3-1, and the further was the Eastern Conference Finals.

As long as the Bobcats are beaten in the playoffs, the Cavaliers will not be able to stop any team at that time.

The chances of beating the Bucks and making it to the Finals are very good.

As long as the Eastern Conference team reaches the finals, it is basically the championship.

This is the confidence that Chen Xiao and Wade Yao Ming brought to the Eastern Conference team in this era.

In the current nba, the east is strong and the west is weak.

However, no one could have imagined that things would take such a drastic turn.

Not to mention that he has always been strong, he is a little confused, in fact, the entire Cavaliers are now a little confused.

However, after so many years of hard work and persistence in the Cavaliers, James has indeed grown into a very good leader.

Strength, will, spirit, all aspects of Xiao Zhan are very strong.

The strength is S-level, the will is impossible to be knocked down, and the spirit, his trust in his teammates is also unlimited.

And that's why the Cavaliers can play a six-man rotation.

Don't think playing a six-man rotation in the nba is an easy sentence.

This style of play is very tiring. If you don't have enough support for your teammates, who would be willing to play such a game for you?

Danny Green, Matthews, Conley and Oden, they all averaged more than 40 minutes per game in this series.

And Scola, Spanoris, Korver and others, who have not played many games, did not feel resentment because of the lack of playing time. They could play and contribute to the team when they came up.

This is also not just talk.

Now James' influence on the Cavaliers is indeed huge.

It can be said that most of the Cavaliers players are his younger brothers, just like Chen Xiao in the Bobcats.

Therefore, the Cavaliers are definitely the most resilient team in the entire league besides the Bobcats, Heat, and Bucks.

Even compared with the Bobcats, the Heat and the Bucks, it doesn't give in at all.

Such a team, even if it encounters difficulties, will not be destroyed.

Just like after the Bobcats met 1 to 3, they also did not collapse, and they could go straight to catch up.

After the Cavaliers were pulled two innings in a row, Chen Xiao and Jordan did not think that the Cavaliers had just disarmed and surrendered.

As for those spectators and pundits who say the Cavaliers are broken.

That's their business.

After all, they said the other day that the lynx had collapsed too.

But didn't the lynx also come over with gritted teeth?

Eastern time, May 24, 2012, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers' Eastern Semifinals G7 game started as scheduled at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

In a best-of-seven tie-breaker, reaching Game 7, anything can really happen.

Maybe James is tired as the leader of the Cavaliers, but you can't say he lost the possibility of miracles.

The same goes for the rest of the Cavaliers, no one wants to give away their effort so easily.

Of course, the same goes for the Bobcats.

So at the beginning of the game, the two teams showed a very strong defensive intensity.

The Cavaliers did not change their starters in this game, and were still the regular starters of Oden, James, Danny Green, Matthews, and Conley.

On the Bobcats side, they changed the starting lineup, Roy Hibbert, Big Lopez, Matt Barnes, Jimmy Butler, and Chen Xiao.

This game Jordan once again changed the starting lineup.

Put Matt Barnes in the starting position, and at the same time let Chen Xiao serve as the team's point guard, taking Rose from the starting position.

Replacing a two-game starter is risky, but Jordan's game sense has always been against the sky.

Obviously, Jordan felt that the Cavaliers' outside shooting was not so stable, so he hoped that he could replace his side with a larger lineup and continue to push the Cavaliers' offense to the outside.

It has to be said that this trick still has an argument.

Depends on how the Cavaliers choose.

Soon, Jordan saw an option for the Cavaliers.

After the Bobcats switched to such a stronger defense, larger and higher lineup in this game, the Cavaliers are still attacking the inside, instead of letting the team's perimeter players operate on the outside.

"Donovan is conservative!"

"After the Bobcats changed to a bigger lineup, Donovan was afraid that he would not be able to grab a rebound if he missed an outside attack, so he didn't dare to gamble!"

In fact, it is normal to dare not bet. With this lineup of the Bobcats, the Cavaliers' rebounding advantage is even less.

If you can't make it, there's really no chance.

In this case, even if he knew that the Bobcats were blocking the basket, Donovan still let the Cavaliers hit the basket.

However, the players of the Cavaliers are indeed resolute, and Oden and James are indeed strong. In the face of such a strong defense by the Bobcats, the first eight points of the Cavaliers were all scored by the two in the paint area.

These 8 points, really every point is spelled out with his own blood and sweat.

After all, both of them were already so tired.

Compared with the Cavaliers, the Bobcats started offense on the outside. After all, Chen Xiao was on the outside.

After being beaten 4-8 by the Cavaliers at the start, Chen Xiao immediately scored 3 points through his three-pointer against Conley, making it 7-8.

However, Chen Xiao's wonderful score is wonderful, and it is indeed difficult.

Without Rose's tearing breakthrough, the Bobcats actually have very little offensive space, and the attacking difficulty is actually very large.

After all, although Roy Hibbert is good on defense, his offense is still on the outside. Like Lopez, his offense is not as strong as Oden and James.

Therefore, in the face of the Cavaliers who came up hard, after the first quarter, the Bobcats even trailed the Cavaliers by two points 22 to 24.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats were still in the normal rotation, while the Cavaliers, none of the five starters did not rest.

"The Cavaliers' posture, they won't rotate five people in this game?!"

It's not surprising that seven people rotate, six people rotate, and five people rotate once, right?

After all, in this postseason, Donovan is really creating the history of the death-defying starter.

Relying on the advantage of the starter, in the second quarter of the rotation, the Cavaliers played a 12-6 spurt against the Bobcats. In these four minutes, Oden and James scored 10 points together.

The two were really fierce in this match.

It was the two who were the most tired in this series, and the two who fought the most fiercely in this game.

James wants to beat Chen Xiao in the playoffs for the first time in his career.

And Oden wants to face Durant in the playoffs for the first time in his career and prove that he is no worse than Durant.

Both share that belief in a near certainty of victory.

Therefore, the two hope that they can use more score advantages to determine the victory.

As long as they are ahead enough, even if there is no physical fitness behind them, they can still rank defensively and hold the score.

But obviously, when Chen Xiao and the others came up again in the second quarter, although the Bobcats were already 8 points behind 28-36.

But given the price the Cavaliers are paying, that lag keeps growing.

Because Chen Xiao made three three-pointers in succession as soon as he came up, Conley and the players of the Cavaliers, who had a huge physical crisis, were actually gritting their teeth on the defensive end. They worked very hard, but in the same way, they Without even noticing, their defensive intensity was actually declining.

Therefore, after the previous wave of 12 to 6, Chen Xiao took the Bobcats to return the Cavaliers to a wave of 11 to 4, and the Bobcats chased the score to only 1 point.

In the end, after the first half of the game, the score between the two teams was 46 to 48, and the Bobcats were still 2 points behind.

The five starters of the Cavaliers played the entire first half and finally gained a 2-point lead. After the third quarter began, the Cavaliers' extreme play was finally punished.

As soon as the game came up in the third quarter, Chen Xiao, Barnes, and Jimmy Butler hit three-pointers one after another. Under the leadership of the three-pointer, the Bobcats made a 15-6 game as soon as they came up. shock wave.

If Chen Xiao felt the decline in the Cavaliers' defensive intensity in the first half, then in the second half, the rest of the Bobcats also felt that the Cavaliers players couldn't make up for their tiredness even after a halftime break.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bobcats killed the Cavaliers 15-6 under the leadership of Chen Xiao and the other three outsiders. In the second half of the third quarter, after the Bobcats replaced Roy and Rose, the two had super physical strength and super strength. The offensive ability led the Bobcats to beat the Cavaliers 12-0.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers trailed by 15 points, 60-75.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers actually collapsed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

He scored 12 points in a single quarter, the offense was completely overwhelmed, and the defense allowed the Bobcats to score 29 points in a single quarter, which was basically unstoppable.

Although James and Oden still gritted their teeth and insisted on attacking the Bobcats in the fourth quarter, they did recover 7 points with their starting strength in the rotation stage, but after Chen Xiao and other Bobcats' starting main players played again, the Cavaliers' final counterattack was also announced. Fail.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Bobcats 90-100 in the Game 7.

The Bobcats advanced to the Eastern Conference finals and will once again face the Bucks led by old rivals Xiaodu and Cure Allen Jr. in the Eastern Conference finals last season.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhan hated Chen Xiao again.

"How many years?"

Looking at the jubilant Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the look on Xiao Zhan's face was lonely.

To be honest, he always felt that he was a strong person, but losing to Chen Xiao for so many years still made him feel exhausted.

Seeing Xiao Zhan who was exhausted physically and mentally at this time, Chen Xiao felt very distressed.

After Chen Xiao hugged the good brother and friend in front of him, Xiao Zhan came back to his senses.

Chen Xiao didn't say much, but after hugging Xiao Zhan heavily, he said one of his favorite and most intense words in Xiao Zhan's ear: "Xiao Zhan, the future is yours."

Chen Xiao knows that he likes this sentence, and has always liked it.

And he really likes it, has always liked it, and he also believes that the future is really his!

Tired body and mind, once again full of energy to chase forward.
