Chapter 267: Hitting the Playoffs Eight

Hearing this, James pondered for a moment, and then, pretending to pray like God, he muttered, "O God! Please bless him! ”

James's pretending posture also caused the Cavaliers players present to laugh, this guy is so funny.

And in the midst of the Cavaliers players laughing, the players are ready to play.

The tedious pre-game ceremony was completed, and the Dallas Gavericks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers officially kicked off.

The main lineup sent by the Mavericks is:

Center: Antoine. Jamison

Power Forward: Dirk. Nowitzki

Small forward: Antoine. Walker

Shooting Guard: Michael. Finlay

Point Guard: Steve. Nash

The main lineup on the Cavaliers' side remains unchanged, and the lineup that has been used this season is still the same.

Center: Big Z

Power forward: Boozer

Small forward: James

Shooting Guard: Erik

Point guard: Cao Jian

Before the knight and the calf pk, the cruel Josh. Howard, at this time, was also pressed on the bench by the Mavericks coach, and I have to say that this is also a huge irony for him.

When the players lined up on the court, everyone on the Cavaliers' side except Cao Jian went to see this arrogant guy together.

Josh. Howard looked at the knights and provoked him like this, and his lungs couldn't help but explode.

These bastards are so infuriating.

However, what he didn't expect was this. How hateful he is when he spews all that trash talk.

This is just an episode.

The Cavaliers are fifth in the East Division and the Mavericks are fifth in the East Division. It seems that the difference in position is not much, but in the current pattern of the alliance being strong in the west and weak in the east, this is really too far behind.

The Mavericks' fifth-place record in the West Division can be ranked ninth in the league, but the Cavaliers' fifth-place record in the Eastern Conference. But it can only rank thirteenth in the league.

It's bad, it's not just a half-star.

Before the Mavericks and Cavaliers went to war, ABC reporters also interviewed the most popular person on the Mavericks' home court. That is, the current owner of the Mavericks, Mark. Cuban.

Mark. Cuban is a great figure, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the best and most caring owner in the league, watching the team play. Cheer on the players. For the sake of their own players and even scolding CP and questioning the high-level, whenever the team wins, Cuban will run excitedly and mingle with the players, and the limited space here will not mention those things that transform helicopters for players.

Mark. Cuban came to the scene to watch the game, he also replaced the Mavericks coach for a pre-game interview, and the reporter also mentioned that the Cavaliers are fifth in the Eastern Conference, and the Mavericks are also fifth in the Eastern Conference. The topic of who has a bigger chance of winning this battle.

"I chose the Mavericks. The Maverick is the strongest and invincible. We have Dirk, we have Nash, we have Jamison ~~~" Cuban also listed a lot of Maverick names, in a vain attempt to overwhelm the Cavaliers in this way.

From this point of view, Mark. Kuban is also well-intentioned enough.

Although, Mark. Cuban is a little too suspicious of exaggerating the big and small cows, but what he said is not much worse, and now there is no shortage of people in this calf and that position.

Dirk and Nash, a pair of good friends, form the Mavericks' strongest partners, and their strength in the league should not be underestimated.

Plus, Antoine. Walker and others are like tigers, and they are still fighting on the Mavericks' home court, and it is not easy for the Cavaliers to eat the Mavericks.

The battle between the Cavaliers and the Mavericks also officially kicked off when the referee blew the whistle.

Big Z and Jamison jumped the ball, Big Z relied on his height advantage to take the lead for the Cavaliers first, the basketball was handed over to Cao Jian, Cao Jian started the first wave of offense, Cao Jian just passed half the court, and Nash, who defended Cao Jian, also posted up for the first time, stepping on the three-point line to defend Cao Jian.

It can be seen that before the Mavericks played against the Cavaliers, Nash also worked how to defend Cao Jian, however, this was useless, and defense was not what Nash was good at.

In the face of Nash's defense, Cao Jian directly shook a shot, pulled it up in front of Nash, and shot a three-point shot directly.

The basketball drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally, smashed into the basket, with a crisp sound of "shabu", the basketball directly stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

The ball goes in.

Cao Jian's starter gave the Cavaliers the first place.

Although Nash can't defend Cao Jian, how can Cao Jian defend Nash.

In fact, Cao Jian is not afraid of violent players like Davis, not afraid of Marbury's speed players, and not afraid of point guards like Francis who have both speed and strength, he is most afraid of players like Nash who play with their brains.

Because you don't know what he's going to do next, whether he's going to pass the ball, or shoot, or break through on his own, go it alone, or choose to cooperate with his teammates, you don't know at all.

Maybe even Nash himself doesn't know what he's going to do next?

How does Cao Jian know?

Even the white eyes can't see it.

Maybe.

That's where Nash is toughest.

In the process of marching and attacking, we have insight into defense, seek offensive opportunities, and look for fighters.

There is another point, Nash's speed is almost the same as Cao Jian's speed, Cao Jian's speed is not dominant in the speed he is best at, and in terms of strength, Cao Jian is not much different from Nash, and the last difference is experience.

Nash has been in the league for many years, and he is far from being comparable to a rookie like Cao Jian.

Faced with such a player, Cao Jian also felt a headache.

Nash has a very good mentality, after Cao Jian was deflated, he didn't care, held the ball, and attacked again, knowing that he couldn't break through Cao Jian's defense line with his own strength, he didn't force himself, he didn't get angry with himself, but chose to let the inside Nowitzki put it forward, do blocking and dismantling for him, and play blocking and dismantling.

Playing blocking and dismantling, this is also Nash's very good way of cooperating, and Cao Jian does not dare to slack off. snatched it directly, shoulders against Nowitzki's shoulders and snatched it directly, Cao Jian stopped Nash. However this is also useless.

It was as if Nash was waiting for him and was stopped by him.

At the moment when Cao Jian posted Nash, Nash threw the ball behind his back, and the basketball was distributed back to Nowitzki at the top of the two-point arc, Nowitzki held the ball at the top of the two-point arc, and Boozer couldn't defend it. Even if you prevent it from going out, it's useless.

Nowitzki's height and arm length are much longer than Boozer's, who has short arms and legs. Even the desperate pounce was just a backdrop for Nowitzki.

There is also Nowitzki's best move, which is the mid-shot, his mid-shot, which is called a quasi.

"Shabu" ball scored.

Nowitzki hits mid-range shot. Fight back. And behind all this, there is the figure of Nash.

This is the most terrifying thing about Nash, he knows that his abilities are limited, he will not mess around by himself, but by uniting his teammates and letting his teammates solve problems for themselves.

That's why Nash isn't tall, he's not strong, and he's not even weird about his speed. However, he can make a name for himself in the league. Mainly because he has a smarter brain than any player.

Dealing with this type of player, Cao Jian also has a headache.

Of course, it's about the defensive end.

On the contrary, on the offensive end, Cao Jian is also the object of Nash's extreme fear.

Inexplicable speed, terrifying three-point shots, and his terrifying ability to perceive the court, he is only stronger than Nash, not weaker, to put it bluntly, Nash is the same type of player as Cao Jian.

It's all about playing with your head, not in a hurry or impatient.

So, in the first quarter of the game, fans saw more of an assist duel between this pair of top point guards in the league.

Nash played blocking and demolition, and Cao Jian also played, but Boozer and Cao Jian didn't play very smoothly.

It's no wonder that Boozer's short arms and legs, coupled with mid-range shooting, are not particularly stable, and he is already remarkable that he goes up like this and is not rewarded by Nowitzki.

I still want to hit the ball.

The first goal failed, and Cao Jian also knew that Boozer was not good, so he decisively gave up this strategy and cooperated with James instead.

Under the direction of Cao Jian, James got two opportunities to face the Mavericks basket directly!! ”

"Bang Dang !!" James ravaged the Mavericks basket one after another.

And on the Mavericks' side, it is still the Mavericks' strongest point, the cooperation of Nash and Nowitzki.

Maybe it's because Nowitzki and Nash are good friends, and they also bring the foundation off the court to the court.

Nowitzki and Nash's cooperation is also perfect, and there are few mistakes in cooperation.

To put it in a vulgar phrase, Nowitzki farts, and Nash knows what type it is.

On the Cavaliers' side, although the cooperation between James and Cao Jian is also very tacit, it is far from reaching the point where the two of them are water~breast~intermingling~.

Under the strong performance of Nash and Nowitzki, the Mavericks Arena was also blown up.

Although James and Cao Jian are not as perfect as Nash and Nowitzki, James and Cao Jian have scoring talent that Nash and Nowitzki do not have.

They also make up for this tacit understanding that can only be exchanged for time.

In the first quarter of the game, under the leadership of the strongest combination of the two sides, the two sides also went back and forth, and the scores continued to rise alternately.

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of both sides were also fixed at 32 draws.

In the second quarter of the game, this quarter is also a great test for the Cavaliers, and the bench is also the weakest link of the Cavaliers today, which is also the point where the Cavaliers lose every game.

If, the Cavaliers' bench can't do a good job of stability during this period of time, then the probability of losing on the Cavaliers' side is also greatly increased.

Today, the knights bench is very hard, really playing extremely hard, Jeff even fought several times and fell to the ground, but, however, the opponent is really too tough, especially Josh, who is extremely fierce in the knights' camp. Howard behaved with extreme ferocity.

Josh. Howard relied on his stature and frequently wreaked havoc on the inside, hitting 2 in succession, which also made his self-confidence burst, and every time he played, he didn't know whether he looked at the Cavaliers bench intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes were full of provocation.

James, who rested for less than a minute, saw Josh. Howard was so arrogant and arrogant that he couldn't sit still, so he directly ripped off his opening uniform and took the initiative to ask Yingying to play, but he didn't forget that before the game, in the locker room, he promised his brother and raged Josh. Howard.

As it turns out, Josh. Howard bullied the Cavaliers on the bench, and really asked him to pick James, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Defending James is a direct step, just a step, and that's what makes Josh. Howard couldn't defend, not to mention anything else, and when he accelerated again, he was directly thrown away, and James was just left with a back.

Pass Josh. Howard, James drove straight in, straight into the Mavericks penalty area, and rose from the ground, which was a powerful one-handed slam dunk.

At this time, Josh, who had just been easily passed by James, was pale. Howard turned around and saw James and his terrifying bounce clearly, and he also felt powerless in his heart.

This kind of person is something he can't overcome.

On the Cavaliers' side, after James re-answered the game, the format also changed dramatically, and James scored 4 points in a row to chase the score closer.

The Mavericks saw that the bench couldn't be parried, and Nash returned.

Nash came back, and Cao Jian was also dressed up again.

Nash belongs to the firefighters, and seeing that the score between the two sides was tied again, he came back and gave an assist as soon as possible, this time it was Josh who had not yet gone down to rest. Howard.

Rely on Nash, Josh. Howard gets a chance to relay in the air, "Bang Bang!! There was a loud bang, and Josh was extremely excited. Howard also did a pull-up move on the basket, which was extremely arrogant.

I'm afraid this goal is also this game, Josh. Howard's self-confidence also returned.

is extremely arrogant, and the gaze that looks at Cao Jian is also full of provocation, looking at him like this, Cao Jian is also puzzled, thinking: It's LeBron who makes you deflated, it's not me, why are you staring at me.

Knights ball possession.

Nash's assist just now also helped the Mavericks take the lead, and this wave of offensive Cavaliers can't be lost no matter what.

Cao Jian asked James for a block, the quality of the blockade was very high, James also stubbornly resisted Nash behind him, Cao Jian had a chance, but at this time, Josh. Howard also resisted for the first time, blocking Cao Jian, no one arrived, but the trash talk came first, "Meet me, you're finished." ”

Josh. Howard is also dead and just finished spraying these words, but Cao Jian pulled it up directly, and shot a three-point shot, extremely decisive, extremely resolute, and saw that the form was not good, Josh. Howard also hurriedly pounced, intercepted Cao Jian, and flew over desperately, relying on his height and arm length, Cao Jian's shot was almost touched by him.

But almost, just almost, the basketball was drawn from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger, the basketball drew a beautiful arc, and finally, smashed into the basket, a crisp sound of "shabu" sounded, and the basketball directly stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

It's over, Cao Jian didn't forget to face Josh. Howard snorted, "What else would you do but talk nonsense?" ”
