Chapter 247: Cao Jian's time
Chapter 247: Cao Jian's time
Barkley is not bad, Cao Jian is the biggest problem for Spurs today.
In other words, Cao Jian is a problem they have to face.
The reason why the Cavaliers can chase from 15 points to the last 7 points is completely due to Cao Jian's excellent performance.
Now Cao Jian is the main attack point of the knights, and if they want to contain the knights, then Cao Jian is the problem they are facing.
And Cao Jian's current scoring methods, the most important thing is outside the three-point line, in other words, how the Spurs should defend Cao Jian's three-point shot is their biggest problem today.
When Popovich was thinking about this issue, he was also conflicted.
How to defend Cao Jian is a big problem for the Spurs.
Bruce. Bowen.
Bowen, Uncle Bao.
This is the Spurs, this is the answer given by Popovich.
That's right.
It's Bowen, Uncle Bao.
Master of perimeter defense, litmus test for top swing man.
Although he has no physical talent, he has his own hand on the defensive end. Carter, kicked straight from the sky back to the ground.
And Maddie, the Flyer's cousin, who is now a popular superstar in the league, also suffered a lot of losses on his hands and missed many games.
And Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, too.
However, compared with the above two, Kobe Bryant still did a good job of protecting himself, at least he was not directly abolished by Bowen.
And this time. Popovich specially replaced Bowen in order to deal with Cao Jian, what does this mean?
Cao Jian is a shooting guard. Known for its speed over the alliance.
Bowen is in terms of speed, compared to Cao Jian, he can't catch up with the horse, and with Bowen to defend Cao Jian, the Spurs don't take advantage of it at all.
Popovich is a Hall of Fame-caliber head coach, and he can't fail to think of that, given that he thinks about it. Why do you want to do that?
Does Popovich want to lose?
Impossible?
Although, now the Knights are chasing points, and the momentum is very fierce. However, it is Spurs who are leading the way now, and this game is so important for Spurs. Abandon. Is this possible?
Spurs are definitely not going to give up on this game.
So why did the Spurs replace Bowen?
Could it be that Popovich is also unhappy with Cao Jian and wants him to go up and abolish Bowen.
This possibility is not impossible.
However, for a regular season game, as for it?
Seeing the Spurs' side, Bowen was replaced. Paul. Silas was also in a hurry.
Bowen's means, he's seen. It's black, it's dark, it doesn't get any darker than this.
At this time, replacing Bowen, what does Popovich want to do?
I'm afraid that if I think about it with my toes, I know what the hell is going on.
Defend Cao Jian.
Use Bowen to defend Cao Jian, what kind of logic is this, with Cao Jian's speed, it is a matter of minutes to ravage Bowen, this is categorically impossible, does Popovich want to abolish Cao Jian?
Come to think of it, Paul. Silas's heart was also in his throat.
Abolish Cao Jian.
This is Paul. Silas didn't want to see what was going to happen.
Cao Jian and James are now the guarantee for the Cavaliers to win, and without anyone, the glory of the Cavaliers will no longer exist.
In order to avoid Cao Jian's accidental injury, Paul. Silas even gave up the game and let Cao Jian go down to rest.
He would rather not have this game than see Cao Jian suffer an accident.
"Cao~~~" tactics are arranged, Paul. Silas also patted Cao Jian's shoulder and said to Cao Jian.
"What's the matter?" Cao Jian turned to Paul. Silas Road.
"Bruce is on." Paul. Silas said. At the same time, he pointed to Bowen, who was warming up on the Spurs' side.
"Oh. And then what? Cao Jian continued to ask.
"I'm worried about you, he's not very clean on his hands, I'm worried." Paul. Silas Road
Hearing this, Cao Jian smiled, of course he also heard about Bowen's reputation, and at the same time, he also saw Bowen's small actions in various highlights. Carter, who has done damage to Maddie and caused damage to many swingmen in the league, has a profound impact.
For this kind of person, Cao Jian will also be extremely resentful and disdainful.
In order to win, you can smash other people's jobs.
He is also extremely repulsive of this kind of behavior.
He hacked others, Cao Jian couldn't control it, and he didn't want to care about it.
As long as he doesn't hack himself, it's fine.
If he really dares to mess around, Cao Jian really doesn't mind, give him a profound lesson, and let him remember it.
Thinking of this, he looked at Paul, who looked worried. Silas, said, "Don't worry. Paul, I'll be fine. Moreover, we will win. Saying that, the whistle at the end of the timeout was also sounded at the right time, and the game entered the final stage.
Spurs possession.
Seeing Bowen on the line, Barkley also jokingly said, "The Spurs are coming up with black feet, I think the Cavaliers are in trouble." Someone is going to suffer. It's pitiful. ”
"Is Popovich crazy? Let Bowen deal with Cao, there is no speed, how should this game be played? Kenny said.
"Whoever says defend, you can't defend without speed. Speed Bowen can't do it, but other aspects are very good. Knowing that Cao Jian would be deflated under Bowen later, Barkley was also gloating.
Just as the two chattered, the game continued.
Parker possessed the ball across half court.
Spurs position offense.
The basketball hung into the interior and let Duncan eat Boozer the inside, but of course Boozer couldn't prevent it, and James and Eric helped defend it.
The game is in the final moments, and scoring is important for the Cavaliers, but, just as important, defensively.
Bag clip.
Duncan's basketball IQ is not generally high. The field of vision is not generally wide, knowing the bag and the clip, immediately divide the ball. The basketball was handed to Bowen, who was lurking outside the three-point line.
Three-point foot, that's Bowen's shooting area.
Catch the ball, there is no one in front of you to defend, take the ball directly and fire.
The rhythm is good, the basketball rolls out from the tip of the index finger, the basketball cuts through the sky, and a crisp sound of "shabu" sounds. Three-pointers scored.
This goal, for the horse who has fallen into a scoring drought. It's a lifesaver.
Bowen's key goal also won the fans at the scene, and there were bursts of cheers.
Bowen's goal also extended the difference to 10 points. This game is for the Cavaliers. It's hard to fight.
"It's over. Finished. With this goal, the difference came to 10 points, and the Cavaliers were helpless this time. Barkley commented.
Generally speaking, what Barkley says is true.
Now that there are 2 minutes and 36 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Cavaliers are nearly 10 points behind, how should this game be played?
This can't be fought?
And. The Cavaliers are still on the road, and the depth of the squad is less than that of the Spurs. It's a tough game.
Knights ball possession.
Cao Jian also quickly controlled the ball through the half.
Sure enough, as Paul said before the game. What Silas thought, Bowen came up, was to restrain Cao Jian.
As soon as Cao Jian passed the half, Bowen pressed closely, and the small movements at hand continued, and his actions kept challenging the referee's penalty scale.
But Bowen, a habitual offender, still did a very good job, but he could blow it or not, because it was the home field, the referee still chose not to blow it.
When it comes to small actions, Bowen dares to say second, but no one dares to call it first.
Cao Jianlian suffered a loss.
However, Cao Jian is not bad, if it were someone else, he might be angered by Bowen's small actions and go crazy.
Cao Jian's mental quality is also good.
In the face of Bowen's close pressing, Cao Jian accelerated directly, Bowen saw Cao Jian accelerating, and hurriedly retreated, the retreat was very large, and his prediction of Cao Jian's route was also extremely good.
blocked Cao Jian's route in advance, but Cao Jian stopped directly, without the slightest idea of breaking through, stopped suddenly, his body forcibly stopped, his body went straight up, his body rose to the highest point, his wrist pressed lightly, and the basketball rolled out from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger.
And Bowen, who was defensive, knew that it was not good, relying on his height advantage, he flew directly towards Cao Jian's shot, in a vain attempt to block Cao Jian's shot, but he desperately flew but had no effect at all, and could only watch Cao Jian send the basketball away.
Bowen still had a hint of luck, thinking that he would successfully interfere with Cao Jian, but no, a crisp sound of "shabu" sounded, and the basketball directly stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket, and the ball went in.
Bowen also thought that he had done a good job in defending this ball, and his technical movements were in place, but he still let him throw it.
Cao Jian also gave him the defense of Vince. Carter and Maddie's coercion, especially when he saw the high arc of the corners of Cao Jian's mouth after shooting the goal, Bowen was even more convinced of this.
is also because of this ball, Bowen also hates Cao Jian.
To be precise, it is the resentment of a super scorer like Cao Jian.
Why did God give me a heart like a basketball superstar, but didn't give me the body of a superstar, so that I, who should be a super scorer, can only do such hard labor.
I'm not convinced.
I'm not convinced.
Bowen, who was unbalanced in his heart, began to resent.
complained about God's injustice and began to turn to Cao Jian.
And Cao Jian also became Bowen very innocently. After Carter and Maddie, the third target.
Retreating, Bowen's gaze at Cao Jian was also full of resentment, which made people panic when they looked at it.
The eyes are like poisonous snakes, perhaps, it is Bowen like this.
As the target of Bowen's attack, Cao Jian was unaware.
Spurs possession.
This time, the Spurs are still mainly inside, or Duncan, and when they encounter the bag, Bowen is still lurking in the bottom corner of the three-point corner, but this time is different from last time.
Bowen didn't know what to think of in a mess, the rhythm was not good, the shooting was off, and there was a direct three-no-stick.
For Bowen to have such a good opportunity, since Bowen didn't grasp it, this also made the fans extremely dissatisfied.
There was a shout of cheers just now, but. At this time, there were boos.
It's no wonder that the fans booed him, this is a rare opportunity.
Bowen didn't grasp it.
It's good that the fans don't boo, this one. Bowen's psychology is even more unbalanced.
Why is it that if a star can't shoot, he gets encouragement to keep shooting, and when I can't, it's a boo?
Why?
Why is that?
Why is it that they are all human beings, and the difference is so big?
Bowen was even more upset.
Get you back.
Next round.
Knights ball possession.
The ball is still in the hands of Cao Jian, Cao Jian holds the ball to face Bowen's defense, and Bowen chooses to defend Cao Jian to break through this time. Leave a step for Cao Jian.
Cao Jian can easily pull up and shoot, but is it that simple?
Of course not.
Cao Jian's white eye display: The hit rate reaches 70%, which can be displayed according to the white eye skill. The risk factor is 60%.
According to the white eye skill, it is inferred that this ball Bowen must want to use a small move on Cao Jian, to put it mildly. Bowen wants to depose Cao Jian.
In fact. On the basketball court, scrapping a popular superstar is very simple, as long as you create some accidents.
For example, when a player jumps and shoots, he inadvertently puts a foot at the drop point, and when he steps on it, the Achilles tendon ruptures. It's as simple as eating and drinking.
Achilles tendon rupture, for. For a basketball player, that's absolutely deadly.
The Achilles tendon is the point of force, once the Achilles tendon is ruptured, then no matter how genius you were before, even if it can be cured, then you are no different from mortals.
This is exactly what Bowen wanted to use with Cao Jian.
This move also has an extremely loud name, Shadowless Black Feet.
As the name suggests, it is to cripple you without realizing it.
This is known as the shadowless black feet.
If Cao Jian pulls up a three-pointer, this is just the right opportunity for Bowen.
However, Cao Jian did not do what he wanted, he made a false shot, and pretended to break through, Bao Wenxin thought it was true, and quickly retreated to resist Cao Jian's route.
Knowing that Cao Jian didn't shoot three points, Bowen made another shot, this time it was the second move of the shadowless black foot, stumbling.
Stumbling, as the name suggests, is the use of tripping to make players surrender in between the marches.
Stumbling mainly works on the knees.
Whether it's a knee or an Achilles tendon, for a player, it's fatal.
In the history of the Alliance, many geniuses have been troubled by their knees before they fell from geniuses to mortals.
In order to deal with Cao Jian, Bowen is also ruthless enough, and all the Yin moves that he can use are used.
Practical and well-intentioned.
And Cao Jian had already lifted it, and when he saw Bowen retreating, he directly pulled up a three-point shot and shot.
Bowen still didn't give up, and quickly pulled the center of gravity back of the defense, and at the same time, his foot was also placed between Cao Jian's legs, slightly to the left, and this time Bowen was also aiming at Cao Jian's left foot.
After putting his feet down, Bowen also pretended, grabbed the rebound, turned around, and saw that there was a crisp sound of "shabu", and the basketball went directly into the net, and the thing that Cao Jian, who he was waiting for, stepped on his feet did not happen.
Looking back, I saw that Cao Jian glared at Bowen fiercely, and when he saw Bowen at this glance, his heart was also straight, "Rookie, look at the wool?" Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you. ”
"Are you threatening me?" In the face of Bowen's trash talk, Cao Jian was not afraid at all, and immediately returned the color, since the moment Bowen decided to attack him, Cao Jian regarded him as his enemy, and treated the enemy, Cao Jian also had his own way, no need to be polite, fight to the death.
Dealing with the enemy, Cao Jian will never show mercy to his subordinates.
"I'm going to threaten you. Come on. You're going to hit me. Can you make it out of San Antonio today? ”
“shabi。” After spraying this sentence, Cao Jian didn't look at it, and went back directly.
Cao Jian's words, in Chinese, Bowen did not understand, saw Cao Jian walking away from a distance, and thought that Cao Jian was afraid of him?
Hurry back and go back.
However, looking at Cao Jian's eyes, he was still full of gloom, and thought: This time you were lucky to avoid one session, and next time you won't be so lucky.
Two rounds passed.
The time also came to less than 2 minutes, and the game was also suspenseful, with Cao Jian hitting three points in succession, the Spurs were also chaotic, and the scene became quiet again.
Such a dull atmosphere made the Spurs players panic.
At such a critical moment, it was Duncan who stepped up. Hit the basket to create Boozer's foul, stand on the free throw line, and execute the free throws. Free throws, which is also a challenge for Duncan.
He wasn't very good at making free throws.
Sure enough, the first penalty, no.
The second penalty is also no.
It's also giving the Cavaliers a chance, the Cavaliers having the ball.
The basketball is still in the hands of Cao Jian. Cao Jian held the ball over half the court and was chased and intercepted by Bowen.
Bowen is still the second move of the shadowless black foot, stumbling.
Cao Jian stopped in a hurry and didn't eat. Bowen was anxious, stepped forward, and pounced.
Popovich's purpose in letting him come up was to let him restrict Cao Jian, but. I didn't see any effect at all. On the contrary, he also became a colander on the Spurs' side.
Strainer.
However, at the moment when the center of gravity of his body was pulled back, Cao Jian accelerated again, and the speed was very fast, and Bowen's reaction speed was also very fast, and he pulled back again. After this back and forth, Bowen suffered from his knees. The center of gravity was lost all of a sudden, and the crotch was cool, and he fell directly to the ground.
Cao Jian, who was dribbling, retreated outside the three-point line, looked at Bowen who fell to the ground, smiled, and calmly shot.
Parker next to him saw it and quickly flew over to stop it, but was it useful?
Obviously, this is not very useful.
The basketball rolled, drawn from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally, smashed into the basket, a crisp sound of "shabu", sounded, and the basketball entered the net.
The ball goes in.
The corners of Cao Jian's mouth raised his trademark arc again, looking at Parker, who fell on Bowen and failed to pounce, spread his hands, and blew towards his left hand, signaling that he couldn't help his own hand ~ feeling ~ It was too hot.
Cao Jian's action was domineering and provocative, and the cameraman on the sidelines was also unwilling to miss this moment, the camera clicked, clicked, clicked, clicked, and filmed down, freezing this moment.
Of course, seeing Cao Jian's domineering posture, there were also fans on the scene, and the fans on the scene were Spurs fans, so the fans on the scene were more unhappy and unhappy.
Some fans even shouted: Prevent him.
~ Die ~ Him!
Slogans like that.
Seeing this situation, Popovich was even more dissatisfied and quickly paused.
is very sad, Bowen is useless to Cao Jian, and is directly replaced by Popovich to guard the water dispenser to calm the anger of the public.
In addition to Bowen, such a bad performance of the Spurs also made Popovich thunderous, but fortunately, Popovich didn't have a heart ~ dirty ~ sick, otherwise he would have to suffer eggs.
The gap is so big in this game.
There was a fifteen-point difference just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was only one point, one point, and directly let the opponent play 17-3.
This could not fail to annoy Popovich.
What Popovich didn't expect was that what annoyed him even more was still to come?
Popovich's on-the-spot command ability is not bad, it is considered the top level of the league, but he has strong on-the-spot ability, which is useless.
Whether a player performs it or not, this plays a decisive role.
The player can't execute, this is not to be discussed, Popovich is so fierce at the critical moment, this is a stupid scolding of the Spurs players.
Pause back.
On the Spurs' side, it's still the same mess.
can't open, even if it's opened, the hit rate is not there, Parker saw that the time was gone, and directly stopped the mid-distance shot, no.
The knight rebounded the ball, as soon as he got the ball, he immediately went down, this time it was Cao Jian, fast attack, direct 2 points.
The score was directly overtaken.
The knight's side is like a rainbow.
In this way, Popovich asked for a timeout again after another timeout.
Spurs fans are also stupid, what's going on?
Can anyone tell me, what's going on?
What the hell is going on?
Spurs fans, it's not clear what the hell is going on.
Popovich yelled at the Spurs players with a hideous face, and he also tried to use this method to wake up the Spurs players, but it was clearly not.
came back, Parker was directly cut off by Cao Jian, and he succeeded, and it was a fast attack.
The Cavaliers had a three-point lead.
This time the offensive knight was played, and Popovich wanted to call a timeout and rush to the field, but the assistant coach held him back for the first time.
Because, Spurs don't have any timeouts now.
On the Cavaliers' side, morale is very strong~ Sheng, and there are 59 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Cavaliers are ahead by 3 points.
The Cavaliers have a great advantage, and the Spurs' side of the offense can't succeed, or Cao Jian, who shoots three-pointers.
The ball went in.
The Spurs were completely stunned by Cao Jian's three-point shot.
Completely unable to find the direction.
Cao Jian: This is the rhythm of not throwing spurs to death, and not giving up.
The difference between the two sides was once again widened to 6 points, and the Spurs' side was finished.
At this time, Barkley also quickly changed his tune, "I admit that I was wrong. The Cavaliers are strong, and in this game, the Cavaliers proved once again that anything is possible. ”
Yes, Barkley suddenly changed his words, and Kenny also gave him a disdainful look, thinking: This guy is really shameless enough, turning his face faster than turning a book.
Although the time had come to within a minute, Cao Jian still did not stop and bombarded the spurs.
Outside the three-point line, fire again.
The players on the Cavaliers' side are also very happy to hand over the ball to him.
If Cao Jian's three-point shooting percentage is not handed over to him to deal with, who will handle it?
So accurate.
"Shabu" twice, Cao Jian hit again, expanding the score to 12 points in one fell swoop, and the Spurs lost helplessly at the last moment, and in the end, they returned with hatred.
The Spurs, lost at home, which was also the biggest upset of the day.
