Chapter 306 A Knight's Majesty

After Miller hit four three-pointers in a row, Cao Jian's side also immediately hit back with three three-pointers.

After Cao Jian's three three-pointers, the Pacers also immediately asked for a timeout, and this timeout was mainly aimed at Cao Jian.

"Lock him up and don't let him do it so easily. Remember, our Pacers are the number one defense in the league, and he's just a rookie. Contain him and keep our dignity. ”

Off the bench, Carlisle snarled at the Pacers.

Naturally, this was mainly said to Tinsley, who also kept nodding, but he was bitter in his heart, and said in his heart: Do you think he is so good at defending? I wouldn't be so miserable if he defended so well, do you think I don't work hard defensively? Mr. Carlyle, I've done my best, and I've put my palms on his face, are you still letting me foul? Oh, for fouls, I'm going to intercept him for fouls.

However, do fouls really work?

And Tinsley's words can only be put in the stomach, which is a hard-won opportunity to play.

You must know that there are many people on the bench of the Pacers who covet his position, he doesn't want to go up and wait for him to go down, he is good ~ position, in the NBA is so cruel, no matter how awesome you used to be, it is all in the past tense, if it doesn't work, then you get out.

The alliance lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people.

You don't want a lot of people to be on ~ bit.

There's a saying in Slam Dunk that's true, the team needs you here.

You are not needed. You just get the hell out of here.

Carlisle also let Tinsley play, also thinking that he could defend Cao Jian, so. He'll get a second chance.

If not, that's the only way to get out.

But the truth was not what Carlisle thought, Tinsley was already working extremely hard, and he had to sell his blood and kidneys.

Pause back.

On the Pacers' side, Shougan was still extremely hot Miller just now, and he was dumb for the time being.

After all, Miller is not a demon like Cao Jian, who has the ability of Cao Jian, and his sustainability is incomparable to Cao Jian.

And come back. Cao Jian's side.

It's still Cao Jian holding the ball, and it's really no wonder Tinsley this time.

Tinsley was really hard defending, he dared to pat his chest and say. He's the best at defending at that.

The last one is gone.

He had even committed a foul, and his palm completely blocked Cao Jian's sight, not to mention that his palm even hit Cao Jian's face.

It's the home court, and it's the Pacers' time to chase points. For this kind of balls that can be blown or not blown. The referee still chose not to blow, although he was not taken care of by the referee and failed to get the star whistle, Cao Jian still fired outside the three-point line, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

Cao Jian's throws also made the noisy arena quiet instantly.

Pacers fans chose to remain silent, and even said that they were still a little afraid of Cao Jian's three-point shot.

It's no wonder that fans are jealous, Cao Jian's shooting is like a shooting machine, as long as he makes a shot. The ball is there, as soon as you make a shot. Balls are there.

The Pacers couldn't defend at all.

Many fans who have placed heavy bets are also frowning, holding their heads, and can't bear to look directly.

After Miller hit four three-pointers, Cao hit back with four three-pointers.

On the Cavaliers' side, the counterattack frenzy set off by Cao Jian himself also helped the Cavaliers overtake the score by 1 point, and the momentum of chasing points was extremely fierce.

Carlisle is a coach who is known for his defense, and when Cao Jian scores so much, the rhythm is not under his control, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.

There are some coaches who pursue the game not only to win or lose, but to control the game.

If the Pacers win this game 150-148, Carlisle will certainly not be happy because it is not a Pacers-style ball.

And if the Pacers win the game 80-65, Carlisle may smile at this time, because that's the typical Pacers' ball.

Defend.

It's not the Pacers' style to let the opponent score so many points on his own and then not be able to parry it himself.

The rhythm on his side was disrupted, so Carlisle immediately asked for another timeout to make adjustments after requesting a timeout.

Even though there is only half a minute between the two timeouts, it is easy for the opponent to see the flaws, or to change the direction to show the opponent that you have won this round.

Carlisle was relaxed, but he had to say it in order to get the pace back into his control.

He had to do it, too.

This is something he didn't expect before the game.

It's not that Carlisle doesn't take his opponent seriously.

On the contrary, he takes his opponents very seriously, and his players can not pay attention to them, but as a coach, he has to pay attention, because there is no team in the league that can guarantee to win against opponents, and no team dares to say that they are in shape all the time.

Although the Cavaliers' record is a few notches worse than the Pacers, this is not a reason why the Pacers can win the Cavaliers in the series. And Carlisle is also very aware that this Cavaliers is also a team that is extremely good at creating miracles, and miracles are everywhere in such a team.

For this reason, he properly won the Cavaliers to advance, and before the game, he also spent several nights in a row to go through the Pacers' games this season, and also took out the first round of the series to watch the Cavaliers vs. Heat game repeatedly, analyzing the reason for the Cavaliers' loss?

In the end, it was concluded that Cao Jian's defense was not strong, and James's defense was also extremely crucial.

However, what he didn't expect was that according to the current situation, Cao Jian's election as the best newcomer of the year was not at all water, not that Stern did it deliberately in order to win over Chinese fans.

Before. He also had speculation about this aspect, however, judging by the game. This is not the case.

Cao Jian's strength is enough to be rated as the best newcomer, three-point shooting, organization, plus critical moments, dare to stand up and turn the tide.

It's all so much better than James.

On the other hand, in addition to James' excellent physical fitness and strong breakthroughs, everything else is average. To put it nicely, it is all-powerful. On the hard side, it's pretty average.

Can you be all-powerful?

When you meet an ordinary opponent, maybe you are all-rounder, if you are stronger, then you will become ordinary.

This is an all-around drawback.

Natural omnipotence is also beneficial. He can help the team in a big way, he can do a lot of work for the team, but the most beautiful thing you ask him about what he can do is what he can't necessarily answer.

Walkers pause.

Take advantage of this pause.

Carlisle made another adjustment, and he also made another change. From the previous Tinsley to defend Cao Jian, he changed to Artest. "Yes, I'm not going to let him score another point."

Artest, who won the title of 'Best Defensive Player' this year, also patted his chest and assured, as he spoke, he turned his head to the Cavaliers bench and glanced at Cao Jian, with some disdain in his eyes, especially after seeing Cao Jian's complexion and the seemingly thin body. He was even more disdainful.

Artest naturally has this confidence, he is a man who has defended top stars such as Xiao Ai, Maizi, and Kobe. In front of these superstars, he has never conceded defeat on Cao Jian, and it is even more impossible.

In his opinion, to deal with Cao Jian, tell him how to be a person every minute.

Who is he Artest, and the best defensive player in the league is him.

“ok。 I'm relieved to have your words. Guys, this is our home stadium and we can't afford to lose, it's a huge shame for us to lose. Remember what our goals are? Let's go up! Well done. ”

As he spoke, Carlisle also put away the tactical pen and tactical board and said to his players.

The Cavaliers are back on the field.

Pacers ball possession.

It's been a long time since the scoring drought, and this time Xiao Ao seized the opportunity under the basket, turned around under the basket, and scored a cricket.

The Pacers, for their part, are overtaking again.

On the knight's side, Cao Jian met Artest.

Artest's 'Best Defensive Player' wasn't picked up for nothing, he defended like an iron-willed type.

He started with defense, his defense is really not covered, the basic defense is extremely solid, and the steps are also extremely flexible, on the other hand, Artest is extremely confident, he is confident that he can defend anyone in the league, as soon as he came up, he sprayed a sentence at Cao Jian, "Rookie, I will teach you how to play in minutes." ”

There was still disdain in his eyes, and he seemed extremely disdainful.

Cao Jian faced Artest, which also made the people who supported Cao Jian sweat and raised their hearts to their throats.

Especially the two hosts Zhang Li and Yu Jia, they are also very aware of how fierce Artest is, although there is no one who retired directly after being defended by him, but even players of Kobe, Maddy and Iverson are deflated on him.

Although Cao Jian's performance is extremely vigorous, it is difficult to say whether Artest will still have this level when he encounters Artest.

After all, Artest is not an easy character.

No, I don't know, a couple is scared.

Before facing Artest, Cao Jian couldn't understand how much pressure James was under against him, this time he only understood when he faced Cao Jian, Artest was also the only one who made Cao Jian's [White Eye] skill directly sound the red alert The person is dangerous, he has encountered Kobe Bryant once before, and now this time it is Artest.

Cao Jian couldn't say if he was crying this time.

However, this is not to say that Cao Jian will be afraid, or even jealous of Artest, these people can't kill him, so this can only make Cao Jian stronger.

Kobe Bryant used to be, and so is Artest now.

However, Cao Jian's performance was mistaken for fear of Artest, and after halftime, he threw the ball directly to James, who held the ball and singled Tinsley, which was an opportunity.

Although Cao Jian will get a lot of points himself, however, he has not forgotten what role he played.

What exactly are the responsibilities of a point guard?

James had a good chance and was definitely going to give him the ball to play as soon as possible.

Artest's kind of defense, he couldn't get used to, so Tinsley played casually.

Although they think so, however, Pacers fans don't see it that way, they just think that after the hot Cao Jian of Shougan met Artest, he confessed and had to pass the ball.

They ignored James' position to deal with Tinsley.

Cao Jian, who is extremely hot in shougan, after switching to his own defense, directly did not dare to attack by himself and could only choose to pass, which also made Artest feel good, just now I thought this rookie was a little difficult to do? didn't expect it to be so easy, and he also sprayed towards Cao Jian again:

"Rookie, you're scared."

However, Cao Jian didn't pay attention to him.

I saw that James really didn't have much pressure to deal with Tinsley, and when he dealt with him, James was one step and went directly to the basket.

Facing Xiao Ao's defense, he also put the ball into the basket, and a crisp sound of "shabu" sounded, and the ball went in.

James scored the goal, but the fans at the scene were still excited about Artest to limit Cao Jian.

Although, James can score, but James's score is not so jealous of Cao Jian, Cao Jian's three points are what they are most afraid of.

It's not just the fans who think so, Carlisle thinks so too.

He has studied that James's best thing now is the breakthrough, in other words, he scores defense, and relies more on strong physical fitness to score under the basket.

As for other offensive methods, for example, three-point shooting and emergency stop shooting, which are necessary for super scorers, he has not yet practiced, or is unstable.

This can be seen from his somewhat ugly shooting posture, and Carlisle is still extremely relieved about James' score, as long as Cao Jian is not allowed to score, it is OK.

As for James's defense, it is actually very simple, Carlisle does not believe that with the strength of the Pacers' current lineup, he will not be able to defend a James, a James who can only break through.

They have so many inside titans that they can do that.

And he is not worried, other people on the Cavaliers' side can shoot, and it is okay to shoot, as long as it is not Cao Jian.

Cao Jian's terrifying hit rate Pacer can't afford to hurt.

However, except for Cao Jian, the shooting rate of others is still acceptable, and besides, the pace of the game is fast, and the defensive intensity is so strong, so physical strength is naturally a big problem.

He didn't believe that the people on the knight's side were iron-clad, and the hit rate could be maintained, as long as the hit rate was reduced, then everything would be fine.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are the best at playing this kind of slow-paced ball, the slower the better, and in the end, it is slow enough to drag the Cavaliers to death, which is the best.

Carlisle's wishful thinking was really loud enough.

However, is there really no countermeasure on the Knight's side?
