I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 11, 2015, Chen Xiao brought the Warriors to Cleveland.

After leaving Cleveland in 2005, this is the first time Chen Xiao has set foot in Cleveland during the playoffs or the finals after a lapse of ten years.

Looking at the huge bronze statue of Chen Xiao outside the "King AND God Stadium", the home court of the Cavaliers, many Warriors players will wonder if their boss is already a famous legend.

But in fact, their boss is no more than a mere 32-and-a-half-year-old veteran, and it is far from time to go to earth.

The God who once sheltered them has now become the big devil standing in front of them, which did not make Cleveland fans resent Chen Xiao.

If the finals between the Cavaliers and the Warriors was very intense, and the players on the court were full of gunpowder, maybe this time the situation would be completely different.

But this year's finals, the Warriors in the first two games, almost can be said to be devastating.

This gives Cavaliers fans no source of resentment and excuses, because after two games, most fans have no expectations for the prospects of the Cavaliers' finals this year.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for them to have too many complaints against Chen Xiao.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao came to Cleveland again, he saw many local fans taking pictures next to the bronze statue outside the Shenwang Stadium.

I also saw a lot of fans from all over the world or all over the United States, and they also took photos here.

Because the Warriors won the first two games, most fans felt that it was impossible for the NBA finals to return to Golden State.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's fans, and a large number of Golden State fans, came to Cleveland at this time.

It is precisely for this reason that Cleveland, which was originally Chen Xiao's base, seemed to be occupied.

On June 11, the night of the G3 game of the finals, when Chen Xiao brought the Warriors players to the field, the Cavaliers fans and fans who supported the Warriors on the scene gave Chen Xiao the warmest cheers and applause.

The DJ at the scene was shouting for Chen Xiao, and the big screen at the scene was also playing highlights of Chen Xiao's years with the Cavaliers.

Even the mascot of the Cavaliers on the scene was wearing Chen Xiao's jersey at this time.

It can be said that Chen Xiao came to Cleveland this time and received courtesy from everyone here.

Of course, as the behind-the-scenes boss of the Cavaliers, Zhan and his wife have contributed a lot. At the very least, the Cavaliers' home court layout is so vivid and touching. It must not be only the fans' credit. In fact, the Cavaliers team deserves more credit. Some.

Chen Xiao was very moved by this.

Although for Chen Xiao, the most special teams in his mind have always been the Nets and the Bobcats, but the Cavaliers have indeed carried his two years of green life.

Although Chen Xiao is usually reluctant to mention the two years of the Cavaliers' sophomore years, it is clear that Chen Xiao's games with the Cavaliers are the most frequently replayed, whether in the United States or China.

Because the two years with the Cavaliers were the most aggressive two years for Chen Xiao. After all, after the two years with the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao graduated from Novice Village.

When the game is fierce, the game is naturally magical. For example, when the Black Eight or Seven Star Nets played, the Miller time and 35 seconds and 13 points per game. For fans and spectators, this game is good or not.

And this is one of the reasons why Cavaliers fans still miss Chen Xiao so much even after Chen Xiao left the Cavaliers for ten years.

The memory legacy that Chen Xiao left behind during his two years in the Knights is really terrifying.

The most exciting 10 games, 20 games, 100 games in the history of the Cavaliers, it is impossible to bypass Chen Xiao!

For the Cavaliers team and fans, Chen Xiao has been written into their blood.

Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers have a very close relationship, but for the upcoming game, the warmth between the two teams will only stop before the game starts.

Although the game was over in G2, the whole world felt that the Cavaliers were no longer saved.

It's impossible for the Cavaliers to beat the Warriors anymore.

However, this is the voice of public opinion, and for Cavaliers players, they don't think so.

The defeats in the first two games really made the players of the Cavaliers a little frustrated, but the Cavaliers have been brought all the way by James for so many years. It can be said to be a very cohesive team. Such a team is impossible. Broken down easily.

So, the Cavaliers showed their determination to the Warriors as soon as the game opened in Game 3.

In the last game, the Cavaliers chose to fight crazy against the Warriors, but as soon as this game came up, the players of the Cavaliers were crazy and fighting against the Warriors.

The Cavaliers want to use their own offensive rhythm to disrupt the Warriors' offensive rhythm, which is an understandable strategy.

For example, as soon as Oden came up, he attacked Jokic frantically, and James also looked for opportunities to attack Jokic inside.

Jokic's playmaking and offense are great, but defense...

To be honest, Jokic's defense mainly relies on his big size. He does not have such strong defensive skills and abilities for the time being. Jokic is also inexperienced in dealing with such crazy attacks.

You have to defend aggressively, foul easily, and you have to defend loosely, and you can only let James and Oden keep scoring.

After all, in terms of size, thick eyebrows, Jokic's inside partner, can't stop James and Oden.

The thick eyebrows are more about double-teaming and assisting by Jokic's side, and cannot replace Jokic in single-defense against James and Oden.

Therefore, facing the completely different style of play of the Cavaliers, the Warriors were a little uncomfortable at the beginning of this game.

As soon as Jokic played for three minutes in this game, he received two fouls because of the defensive advance and retreat.

And the big Lopez who replaced Jokic, although he is stronger than Jokic, has better defensive skills than Jokic, and works better with thick eyebrows.

The one-top-one-defense combination of Big Lopez and Thick Eyebrow is indeed stronger defensively.

But obviously, Big Lopez does not have such a strong ability to organize offense.

This directly led to the collapse of the Warriors' offensive system, and they could only return to last season or last season's tactics where Chen Xiao played the core of his tactics.

Let's just say, the rest of the Warriors look like they can pass the ball with Jokic.

But without Jokic as the playmaker, the starters of the entire Warriors team, whether it is Thick Eyebrows, Bill or Klay, do not have the ability to organize and handle the ball.

In the end, only Chen Xiao can handle the ball, but a lot of the ball is concentrated here, which will put Chen Xiao under great defensive pressure.

You know, the Cavaliers' Oden, James, Danny Green, Matthews, Conley, this is a very strong defensive lineup.

In particular, the defense of the striker is even more powerful.

However, with Chen Xiao's confrontation ability, he actually hopes that the Cavaliers can double-team him, so that he can also distribute the ball to his teammates. However, in this game, the Cavaliers let James stare at Chen Xiao. Single defense, that is to say, the Cavaliers did not double-team Chen Xiao.

The Cavaliers didn’t want Chen Xiao to organize the Warriors. If Chen Xiao could face James’ single defense and kill the Cavaliers, they would admit it.

For Carlisle, Chen Xiao's former head coach and someone who is very familiar with Chen Xiao, his strategy seems extremely correct.

Let's just put it this way, if the Cavaliers really double-team Chen Xiao, both Klay and Beal will have the ability to score explosions, and Lopez and Nongmei also have strong offensive ability.

But if you only defend against Chen Xiao.

Big Lopez doesn't have the ability to single against Auden, it's not easy to play against Danny Green with thick eyebrows, it's not easy for Klay to play against Matthews, the younger brother of Chen Xiao, and it's not easy for Bill to play Conley. .

On the other hand, Oden and James of the Cavaliers still have an advantage in the interior.

After taking Jokic down, the Cavaliers hope to have a traditional basketball showdown with the Warriors, a basketball showdown in a positional battle.

Carlisle and the Cavaliers believe that the Cavaliers, who have the advantage in the interior, are the dominant side in the duel between positional warfare and traditional basketball.

In fact, in the first quarter of this game, the Cavaliers beat the Warriors 35-25, winning the Warriors by 10 points in a single quarter.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, James and Oden's inside combination, 10 of 17, scored 23 points in a single quarter, and at the same time, the two also grabbed 6 offensive rebounds together.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers took seven more shots than the Warriors.

In most of the first quarter without Jokic's organization, except for Chen Xiao's singles against James who could score steadily, the singles and scores of others were simply terrible.

Clay is 1-for-2, Bill is 0-for-3, Thick Eyebrows is 0-for-2, and Big Lopez is 2-for-4. Except for Big Lopez, which is normal, the others are simply horrible.

Chen Xiao was under great pressure in the first quarter. If it weren't for Chen Xiao's 4-for-7, 2-for-2 from three-pointers, 7-for-7 free throws, and scored 16 points in a single quarter, let's just say that the Warriors would have been in the first quarter. It was destroyed by the sudden attack of the Cavaliers.

Trailing by 10 points in a single quarter is not impossible for the Warriors to catch up.

After all, the Warriors had the advantage of rotation in the second quarter. In the second quarter, Chen Xiao and James both appeared in the rotation time.

This time, Kerr did not stop Chen Xiao from playing the full court.

The importance of this game to the Warriors is immeasurable.

Let's just put it this way, if the Cavaliers can win this game, then the morale of the Cavaliers will increase. After all, they have found a new method, and this method works, and they win, then the Warriors' next game Difficulty will be great.

In the end, the Finals may even be played in six or seven games.

The Cavaliers were able to get 71 wins in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, which is not accidental, nor is it luck, they have such strength.

The reason why they lost so badly in the first two games is mainly because they were a little confused by the suddenly purified Warriors.

Now, after they are not covered, don't they realize that the Warriors' starting lineup has limited singles ability?

As long as the Warriors' starting dual-core is turned into a single-core, the Cavaliers can use unlimited single defense to kill the Warriors who are not strong in singles.

So, this game must be won!

When the Cavaliers found a new way to deal with the Warriors, when they wanted to increase their arrogance, they suppressed the arrogance of the Cavaliers.

Gobert, Ibaka, Chen Xiao, Livingston, Dragic.

Auden, Scola, James, Korver, Spanorris.

On the Warriors side, Chen Xiao led the team.

On the Cavaliers side, Oden also followed James. Oden took the last one-minute break in the first quarter, and the second quarter came immediately.

No way, the Warriors' rotation lineup is indeed strong and solid. The Cavaliers have already made it clear in the first two games that one James is not enough.

Even with the addition of Oden this time and the addition of Chen Xiao, the Warriors still beat the Cavaliers 40-32 in the second quarter.

The Warriors pulled back 8 points in the second quarter.

This quarter, the Warriors hit 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.

Chen Xiao made 4 of 6 three-pointers, while Ibaka made 4 of 5 three-pointers.

This section, Ibaka, broke out again!

James' defensive end pings Chen Xiao, Scola is against Ibaka, Ibaka, an insider who can run and jump, logically speaking, is a basket-rushing type, and this kind of insider in the United States is like this.

If Ibaka hits the rim, Oden can make a double by himself.

However, Ibaka is precisely a kite-type insider.

Oden needed to guard the basket, and Scola couldn't pull it out. The Cavaliers almost watched Ibaka constantly receiving passes from Chen Xiao from beyond the three-point line, and slowly and continuously hit 3-pointers.

The backup hero who made 12 of 12 shots against the Spurs, at this critical moment, almost made a single quarter, 7 of 8, and scored 16 points in three quarters!

Chen Xiao really dared to pass, and Ibaka also really dared to vote.

Since the series with the Spurs, Ibaka seems to have opened up the two lines of the offense, and he has strong shooting confidence.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao and Ibaka's pick-and-roll almost made the Cavaliers vomit.

67 to 65!

After halftime, the Cavaliers led the Warriors by 2 points.

After the finals reached G3, the two teams played anxiously for the first time.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers were still clenching their teeth. James and Oden continued to score 23 points together in this quarter. This is the two players who scored 20+ points in each of the three consecutive quarters in this game.

These two really fought hard.

In the third quarter, Jokic left the court with four fouls early, and the Warriors lost 28-30 in a single quarter by 2 points.

After three quarters, the Warriors lost 93-97 on the road by 4 points.

However, for the Warriors, such a backwardness is acceptable.

Because the first 36 minutes, James played 36 minutes, Oden played 35 minutes.

The fourth quarter, the Cavaliers can not have such a strong.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The very strong Cavaliers who have an inside advantage in the first three quarters scored 20 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, while the Warriors scored 28 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 121 to 117 in a very difficult home court.

In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers did not score a single point.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors went from 112 to 117 to overtake and complete the reversal.

Oden and James, the strongest insider pair in the NBA, faced the entanglement of players such as Lopez, Gobert, Jokic, Nongmei, Chen Xiao, etc. In the end, Oden felt uncomfortable lifting his legs, and James bent Lowered the waist.

The two scored 2 of 6 in the fourth quarter. Although one scored 42 points and the other scored 41 points in this game, in the fourth quarter, one scored 7 points and the other scored 6 points.

It can only be said that they almost changed their lives against the sky.

Let's just say, if it wasn't for the sudden outbreak of Ibaka in this game, the state and shooting percentage of the Warriors' starters in this game would have been impossible to beat the Cavaliers who had done everything.

In this game, after the Warriors lost the dual-core engine, the problem of singles but the second strong point was exposed.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 18 of 35, 9 of 16 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com scored 57 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. This is also Chen Xiao's NBA finals. He once again scored a triple-double of 50+.

In addition to Chen Xiao, the other player of the Warriors who scored in double figures was Ibaka. Ibaka scored 12 of 15 and 6 of 8 three-pointers in the game, scoring 30 points in the game.

Seeing it, Oden and James scored 83 points in this game, while Chen Xiao and Ibaka scored 87 points, an extra 4 points. It was precisely the Warriors who won the Cavaliers by 4 points.

Let's just put it this way, in this match, Oden and James were originally going to play against Chen Xiao. In Carlisle's plan, he didn't expect such a game based on tradition and singles. Ibaka suddenly stood up.

Without Ibaka, the Cavaliers' tactics and Carlisle's careful arrangement in this game, as well as the strong advantages of the combination of Oden and James in the interior, this game, the Warriors are likely to explain here with a high probability.

The Cavaliers' morale has been boosted, and it is very likely that they will win two consecutive games at home and tie the big score to 3 to 2. It is unknown. At that time, the finals will be another scene.

However, in the end, the Cavaliers lost this crucial game.

The Cavaliers trailed 0-3.

So, at the end of the game, Carlisle also sighed heavily amid the sighs of the Cavaliers fans.

Time, fate!

Carlisle looked at Chen Xiao, who hugged Ibaka and enjoyed the victory, and shook his head.

The strong, the luck is also strong!
