Chapter 272: Hitting the Playoffs Thirteen

In the fourth quarter of the game, the New York Knicks, under the leadership of Marbury, also launched a counterattack, taking advantage of the Cavaliers' rotation during this period of time, they also tied the score.

And at this moment, Cao Jian on the knight's side returned to the field again.

Cao Jian came back, immediately outside the three-point line, faced Marbury to cover his face and defended, and hit a three-point shot directly at the top of the three-point arc, giving the Cavaliers a three-point lead again.

Cao Jian was so strong, Marbury wanted to respond, dribbled over, and in the face of Cao Jian's defense, his teammates came up directly to block and dismantle him, but Marbury directly drank him back and signaled him to come by himself.

Looking at Marbury's posture, he is going to single out Cao Jian, just like the previous times, Marbury still has a lot of experience in single-handing Cao Jian, first using trash talk to make Cao Jian collapse, "Rookie." You can't stop me. I'll teach you how to play in minutes. ”

For Marbury's trash talk, Cao Jian will naturally not be affected, and he is already immune to trash talk. He also has his own experience in dealing with trash talk.

Respond with silence and fight with action.

just smiled, and then, it was Marbury who attacked with the ball, and at the moment when Marbury got off the ball, Cao Jian, who bent his legs slightly, at this moment, was like a hungry wolf in the pounce, flying out, very fast, as fast as lightning, Marbury lost his mind for a while, and then, he felt that he was empty, but he felt that the basketball in his hand was shot off.

When he woke up, he found out. Cao Jian chased after the basketball, picked up the basketball, and directly launched a fast attack.

What a proud man Marbury was. was cut off by cao jian, marbury also made a lot of effort behind cao jian, and pounced towards cao jian in the front court, the speed was very fast, but cao jian was faster, and. Cao Jian started one step ahead of Marbury.

Marbury's pounce was futile.

By the time he caught up with the free throw line, Cao Jian had already completed the fast break and handed over the basket. The Quick Loan Arena also resounded with earth-shattering cheers.

And Marbury shook his hand in extreme annoyance, of course, he was annoyed with himself, why was Cao Jian so easy to break the ball. Such a mistake cannot be forgiven at a critical moment.

Cao Jian completed the attack. Turning around, he looked at Marbury, who was angry, and felt that he should do something in his heart, so he squirted, "Is this what you said about teaching me to play in minutes?" ”

How could Marbury not hear the sarcasm in Cao Jian's words, and when he heard this, his eyes were also filled with burning anger. At this time, he was also eager to tear Cao Jian apart.

Proud as he is. Not to mention being provoked by a rookie like Cao Jian, even if Iverson, Kobe Bryant and others from the 96 golden generation like him provoke him, he will not let it go.

Cao Jian is just a rookie.

Holding the ball, he still attacked by himself, or chose to hit Cao Jian, but before he could do it, his trash talk squirted again, "If your goal is to provoke me, then congratulations on your success." ”

Cao Jian still bent his legs slightly, waiting for Marbury to attack.

Seeing that Cao Jian didn't speak, Marbury continued to spew: "However, you can't control my anger!! ”

Marbury roared out when he said this, and a raging flame flashed in his eyes as he spoke, holding the ball, and using his body to hit Cao Jian, he also took a fancy to Cao Jian's thin body, so he used his strength to eat Cao Jian.

This is also a trick that many defenders will use when dealing with Cao Jian.

This time Marbury also used it, and Marbury also transformed all his anger into the power to bombard Cao Jian, but at the moment when Marbury was about to hit Cao Jian, Cao Jian's body dodged away like a ghost, and Marbury also hit a void.

I believe everyone has had such an experience, when their body is too strong, for example, if the force is too strong, the body will often not be able to hold back, Marbury is in such a state, hit the air, no support, and stumbled directly, and at this time, Cao Jian flew out again, and the speed was increased to the extreme again.

The ball in Marbury's hand was also cut off by Cao Jian's slap, fast attack, and fought again, Cao Jian's successive ball breaking performances also directly pulled the Cavaliers fans in the front row of the Quick Loan Arena, cheering and shouting frantically, and the scene was also high to burst.

In the stadium, Cao Jian also felt the enthusiasm of the fans, and he was also moved by the enthusiasm of the fans, so he also decided to play a thrill.

Cao Jian's speed was already very fast, but after half the time, Cao Jian accelerated again, and the speed increased to the extreme again, and the fans were also frightened by Cao Jian, Cao Jian's speed was very fast, this is a.

Among them, the most important thing is that it is now the fourth quarter, and in the fourth quarter of the game, Cao Jian can still accelerate at will, what can be imagined is how Cao Jian's endurance is?

It's not an exaggeration to describe it as terrifying.

The Cavaliers fans in the front row of the Quick Loan Arena were also scared, good boy, my mother!

Some fans were even more surprised that their mouths almost fell to the ground, and they looked incredulous, as if they had seen aliens.

What they didn't expect was not just Cao Jian's endurance bull breaking, but what they didn't expect was what Cao Jian would do next.

Cao Jian accelerated all the way, from the middle line to outside the three-point line, and in less than a second, he was crossed by Cao Jian, and the three-point line was swept by Cao Jian's feet, and the three-point line was one step inside, Cao Jian was traveling at high speed, small broken steps, forcing himself to slow down, in fact, Cao Jian's body control ability is extremely strong, and he can stop compulsorily, but this way will inevitably cause wear and tear on the knees, so he also chooses to use this way to stop.

With a big stride on his legs, Cao Jian also stepped on the free throw line, and then, bent his knees, kicked the ground, started, and took two steps in a row, his legs seemed to be equipped with springs, rising from the ground, and his body was like a lift, rising in the air.

And in the process of Cao Jian's ascension, Cao Jian's body was also completely stretched. Like a Dapeng bird soaring for nine days, when Cao Jian rose to the highest point, Cao Jian's body was stretched into a full bow shape. Holding the ball high in one hand like the Statue of Liberty, although Cao Jian's height is not very high, Cao Jian's bounce is extremely strong, and his eyes are almost level with the basket.

rose to the highest point, Cao Jian, who had been gathering momentum for a long time. He was also detonated directly, and all the strength of his whole body was instilled in his right arm, towards the basket that was close at hand. Bombarded the ball into the basket as if he was ruthless, and with a loud "boom", Cao Jian even bombarded the basket with the ball.

Then, I saw Cao Jian's whole person hanging on the basket. The basket was pulled by Cao Jian like this. It is also oval in shape.

And Cao Jian, who was hanging on the basket, looked at the stunned fans with a downward attitude.

At this moment, Cao Jian was like a high king, looking down on all beings!!

Domineering.

The Quick Loan Arena, whether it was the fans or the players, was stunned.

If Cao Jian was able to accelerate the sprint in the second half of the game just now, the endurance surprised them. Then Cao Jian's domineering dunk this time completely shocked them. Blood-pumping!

It's not that they haven't seen a dunk, it's just that they haven't seen Cao Jian's dunk.

Before this, they would even think that Cao Jian would not dunk, but at this moment, Cao Jian showed them such a dunk, which also made the fans of the Quick Loan Arena stunned.

After a few minutes of silence, there was a burst of shouts like a tsunami, and the fans also shouted Cao Jian's name one by one.

The cry was almost like lifting the lid on the roof of the Quickloan Arena.

The morale of the Cavaliers was also boosted to the peak because of Cao Jian's two consecutive steals, plus this dunk.

On the Cavaliers' side, after Cao Jian came back, under the leadership of Cao Jian, the Cavaliers took the lead again, which also made the Knicks unable to sit still, and quickly asked for a timeout to make adjustments.

However, the suspension is useless, Cao Jian's hand is cold, and except for Cao Jian, the other knights, like James, James is so teased by Cao Jian, he is also full of vitality.

After the pause, the Knicks still couldn't withstand the pressure and couldn't stop the bombardment sent to them by the Cavaliers.

In less than three minutes, the Cavaliers, under the leadership of Cao Jian, also expanded the score to 15 points.

The Knicks still can't find a way to contain the Cavaliers, to be precise, to contain Cao Jian, to contain James, James can break through the attraction package, and Cao Jian can shoot outside the three-point line.

In addition to Cao Jian's three-point shooting, he is not without other means, passing, and assisting are more terrifying than Cao Jian's three-point shot, which hurts the Knicks more.

Cao Jian's pass, which can be outside, inside, or even on the move, is extremely accurate.

Although, this ball is extremely important to the Knicks, but there is no way to win, and no one on the Knicks' side has stepped up, no one has stepped up to break the deadlock, knowing that there is no hope of winning, and the Knicks can only replace the bench to rest.

The Knicks came off the bench, and the Cavaliers didn't do too much, so they also switched to the bench in the game......

What is rare is that Marbury on the Knicks' side is still on the court, attacking the Cavaliers' interior restricted area with the ball again and again, impacting the Cavaliers' interior again and again, and being held by the Cavaliers again and again, but he has no hesitation and is holding on alone.

Even the fans of the stadium booed him one after another, but he still persevered, insisted on it alone, and did not give up.

His perseverance in not giving up is very much worth emulating, however, it is not something that can be achieved with persistence.

Because, the Cavaliers led too much in front of them, and the Knicks couldn't narrow the score, even if Marbury scored 9 points in a row in the final moments, but it still couldn't save the Knicks.

In the end, at the Cavaliers' home court, the Knicks lost by 12 points, and the final score of the two sides was also fixed at 102-90.

The Cavaliers beat the Knicks at home again, and their record is 41-38, with three games left until the end of the season, and they are currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

After the Cavaliers won the Knicks at home, it means that the Knicks cannot pose a threat to the Cavaliers' fifth place in the Eastern Conference, and for the Cavaliers, the question now is whether the Cavaliers can move forward in the last three games of the season.

At present, the fourth place in the Eastern Conference is the Heat, and their record is 42-38, the Heat have played one more game than the Cavaliers, so now the Heat are only 0.5 wins away from the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are three games away from the end of the season.

They are at home against the Lakers, at home against the Timberwolves, and away against the Miami Heat.

The Heat also have 2 games left, which are against the Orlando Magic and the Cavaliers.

It stands to reason that the Cavaliers still have a chance to catch up with the Heat.

However, according to the actual situation, this opportunity is really not very big.

Whether it's the Lakers, the Timberwolves, or the Heat, it's not easy to deal with.

Even the Lakers are the aces of the Western Conference and are the favourites to win the championship this year.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have the best regular season record and the first in the Western Conference, and this season, they have won more than 20 games more than the Cavaliers.

Not a grade at all.

Judging from this situation, it seems that the Cavaliers are already destined to be fifth in the Eastern Division.

However, if the Cavaliers are willing to accept the fifth position in the Eastern Conference, then the Cavaliers, who have no advantage, will lose their home-court advantage in the playoffs because of this.

Regardless of whether the Cavaliers' final record is fourth in the Eastern Conference or fifth in the Eastern Conference, in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Cavaliers' opponent is also decided, and it will be the Heat.

Against the Heat, the Cavaliers obviously do not have an advantage.

If the Cavaliers don't have home-court advantage and the Heat haven't played, it's equivalent to losing half.

However, if you want to snatch the home advantage in such a form, this is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and the difficulty is not half a star.

If the Cavaliers want to ensure home-court advantage, then the Cavaliers must ensure that they win all of their next three games to have this possibility, otherwise don't think about it.

But if you let the current Cavaliers beat the Lakers and beat the Timberwolves, is that possible?

Obviously, it can't be.

In fact, there is another way, and that is to let the Heat lose, but this is more difficult than before.

The Cavaliers know how important home-court advantage is to the team, so why don't the Heat?

And after the Knicks, the next day, bad news came from the East Coast, the Heat slaughtered the Magic at the Magic's home court, and at the Magic's home court, the Heat, under the leadership of rookie Wade, also won a big victory.

So if the Cavaliers want to snatch home-court advantage in the playoffs, then there is only one possibility left, and that is to win all three games in the future.

There is no other way.
