Chapter 280: Hitting the Playoffs Twenty-One

Cao Jian's ominous premonition was also quickly confirmed.

Pause back.

Timberwolves ball possession.

Casal also dribbled through the half, consuming time and grinding slowly.

Now that the Cavaliers are behind and the Timberwolves are ahead, they are not in a hurry, the less time there is, the more beneficial it is for the Cavaliers, and it is best to use up all the time, which is the best.

Casal dribbled past half court and spent 24 seconds on the offensive until the final 10 seconds before attacking.

They have a plan, even if they don't enter, it doesn't matter, but the most important thing is to completely use up the time, which is the most important thing for them.

Spend the time, use it completely.

In fact, the Timberwolves should not be so conservative, although the Timberwolves are leading, but the lead is not very much, only 6 points, and there are 66 seconds left before the end of the game, which is not extremely safe.

Casal holds the ball, or hands it to the inside Garnett, for which the Cavaliers have long expected, as soon as the ball is in the hands of the inside Garnett, the Cavaliers immediately began to implement a wrap-and-hold defensive strategy.

If it weren't for the league's rule that non-ball handlers can't be trapped, otherwise the Cavaliers would want to trap them and not give Garnett the ball.

Garnett's performance in this game was simply amazing.

His performance also made the Cavaliers have to pay attention to it.

It's precisely because the Cavaliers care too much about Garnett's defense, so. will cause the Cavaliers to be negligent to the Timberwolves' personnel in other positions.

This is especially true for the Timberwolves' outside linemen.

Cao Jian also noticed this.

His hunch was also confirmed.

Looking at Garnett, who was caught in the bag, at this time. Garnett was unhurried with the ball on his back.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, this is nothing, most superstars when they hold the ball with their backs to play alone, because they have absolute strength, they can do it with ease and unhurried, and they can be extremely confident.

But. Cao Jian, who has white-eyed skills, found the smile on Garnett's face, this is not a simple smile, this is definitely not simple.

Cao Jian also remembered that he was with Casal before. This also made Cao Jian even more uneasy, turned around, and saw that Casal had also turned to the bottom corner on the right, which was a big gap.

Again, Casal's shooting point.

In the first four quarters of the game. Cao Jian has twice put Casal to shoot in this position. And Casal also hit both of these shots without exception.

If Garnett's pass was really to Casal, then Casal was likely to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot.

The Timberwolves hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers were really in a state of no return.

Now the Cavaliers are still 6 points behind, and the difference is 9 points after scoring this goal.

The difference of 9 points, but the time has become 42 seconds, if the Timberwolves score the ball, then the Cavaliers are really completely out of play.

This is absolutely not going to happen.

Before. Casal shot twice, but Cao Jian didn't pay much attention. I won't talk about this.

This time, Cao Jian has noticed it, and he has already gained insight into the Timberwolves' intentions in advance, this time it is impossible to miss it no matter what, this must not be missed.

On the Timberwolves' side, Garnett was also surrounded by three people under the basket, and there was no chance.

However, Garnett was not in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, the Timberwolves coach was not in a hurry at all, even if there was not much time left, and there were only 4 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, 3 seconds......

Garnett still couldn't find a strategy to break through the knights' encirclement.

However, the Timberwolves coach is still extremely calm, not in a hurry, very calm.

And Paul on the Cavaliers bench. Silas is also extremely satisfied with the defense of the Cavaliers players, and their defense basically satisfies his arrangement, completely inserting ~ Death Garnett and not giving him a chance to shoot.

Seeing that his defensive tactics were so successful, he also glanced at the Timberwolves, and he also wanted to see what the Timberwolves coach's tactics were penetrating through.

On the basketball court, the players fight each other, why not the coach behind the scenes?

It is even said that sometimes the coach fights behind the scenes more fiercely and fiercely than between the players.

In Paul. In Silas's expectation, the Timberwolves coach's frustration and frustration that should have been understood were completely gone, on the contrary, his face was more proud.

This is also completely out of Paul's way. Silas's unexpected, this can't be, this is absolutely impossible?

How could he be so calm, and could he have relied on it?

Otherwise, he couldn't be so calm, how could he be so calm?

I can't, how can he do it.

In the end, he still found that Casal, who had been lurking for a long time in the bottom corner of the three-point corner, at this time, there was no one in front of him to defend, it was a big gap, a big gap, and at this time, he found that Garnett was pulling up in the crowd, passing, yes, passing.

Garnett, who singled the whole game, chose to pass the ball and pass the ball at the critical moment.

And it was Casal who had been lurking outside the three-point line for a long time.

Seeing this scene, it was still cloudy just now for a moment Paul. Silas felt the dark clouds around him, and hugged his head directly, his face solemn.

Not only him, but the fans at the scene found that the Cavaliers were all in Garnett, missing a lot of people, and if Garnett's ball came out, the consequences would be ......

They don't even dare to think about it.

They knew that there was no second way left for the knights except for complete defeat.

After fighting for the whole game, if it really ended in this way, this result is unacceptable, really hard to accept.

Some timid Cavaliers fans didn't even dare to look at it.

The scene is so beautiful.

The Timberwolves came off the bench to see Garnett successfully pass the ball. Regardless of whether Casal finally hit or not, they jumped up from their seats and were preparing to cheer loudly at the top of their voices. Shouting, roaring, throwing towels.

The Timberwolves coach has a bright smile on his face like a chrysanthemum ~ flower, which is a kind of smile after the ploy succeeds, on the court, a tactic overwhelms the opponent, which is for a coach. I'm afraid that they are more excited than the players, a block, and a dunk.

And that's at this time. Cao Jian, or Cao Jian, but Cao Jian killed again and destroyed their good show again.

I didn't anticipate the tactical intentions of the Timberwolves. Cao Jian will not take action. But before Garnett passed the ball, Cao Jian saw through the Timberwolves' tactical intentions early, how could Cao Jian not take action.

Just a moment before Garnett's pass, Cao Jian predicted Garnett's passing route on the premise, slightly bent his legs ~ his legs, his body was like an arrow off the string, flying out, and his speed was also increased to the extreme. Pass towards Garnett and burst out.

In mid-air. Intercept Garnett's pass.

Cao Jian also intercepted Garnett's pass on the premise.

Cao Jian's steal at the critical moment also completely declared the Timberwolves bankrupt.

This scene was also unexpected, especially on the Timberwolves bench, and the Timberwolves who were about to stand up to celebrate, were forcibly suppressed by Cao Jian.

The smile on the Timberwolves coach's face also froze in an instant.

He never thought that at such a critical moment, Cao Jian would appear and break the ball, with a panicked face.

How can it be?

How is this possible?

How is this possible?

How could he be there?

He shouldn't be here.

In stark contrast, on the side of the Cavaliers bench, Cao Jian broke the ball, and he also pulled the Cavaliers generals from the bench alive, pulling his throat and cheering to his heart's content.

Paul, who was still solemn just now. Silas also breathed a sigh of relief, watching Cao Jian break the ball successfully, Cao Jian who held the ball and advanced quickly. Silas also muttered, "It's good to have you." ”

The ball was successfully broken, but Cao Jian didn't say a word, and directly held the ball to launch a fast attack.

Seeing that the ball was broken by Cao Jian, Casal hurriedly chased after him, and his speed was very fast and improved to the extreme.

Although he was telling Jinjin, Cao Jian glanced with [White Eyes] and found that Casal was still chasing behind him, and the speed was very fast.

Finding Casal chasing back, Cao Jian was not in a hurry, and his signature smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, but this smile was a little weird, and he found that Casal was very fast and came not far behind him.

At this time, Cao Jian had already crossed the middle line and accelerated again.

found that Cao Jian accelerated again, and Casal also chased back and improved again.

Speed up.

However, after Casal got faster, Cao Jian, who was in front of him, suddenly slowed down, and Cao Jian's emergency stop was very sudden, extremely sudden.

Suddenly, in the midst of high-speed advance, Cao Jian can stop as soon as he says, which is already remarkable.

This one is really remarkable.

But it was a fatal injury to the knee.

Although it hurts a lot, at such a critical juncture, Cao Jian can't care so much.

Wounds are wounds.

Cao Jian's sudden sudden stop, which was also unexpected by everyone, and Casal's body behind him inevitably hit Cao Jian's body.

And the moment Casal bumped into Cao Jian's body, the referee's whistle sounded.

This is also expected by Cao Jian, but this is not over, Cao Jian came to an emergency stop despite the knee injury, and he wanted more than just 3 points.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, Cao Jian also shot again, although Casal behind him hit him and fouled.

However, before Casal collided with Cao Jian, he thought about dodging, but in the end it was too late.

The impulse he exerted on Cao Jian's body was not very much, Cao Jian could shoot, and the basketball was also rolled by Cao Jian from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger.

The basketball crossed the sky, smashed into the basket, and a crisp sound of "shabu" sounded, and the ball went in.

The fans at the scene also cheered earth-shattering.

The DJ on the scene still broke out Cao Jian's name.

The three-pointer was scored, and Cao Jian once again got the opportunity to add a free throw.

Cao Jian's 3+1 success was achieved.

This is the last thing the Timberwolves want to see.

3+1 also means that this offense also allowed the Cavaliers to chase 4 points, and this wave of offense took less than 5 seconds in total, and there are still 37 seconds left before the end of the game.

Although the ball is still in the hands of the Timberwolves, the difference is still 2 points, which does not mean that the Cavaliers do not have a chance.

The knights also have a great chance of winning 3+1 because of Cao Jian.

The Timberwolves coach took advantage of this timeout to yell at his players, but it didn't work, it didn't work.

Pause back.

Cao Jian's punishment is still there.

That is to say, the knight scored 4 points successfully.

After those 4 points, the Cavaliers are only 2 points behind.

All this is entirely due to Cao Jian's unique vision.

However, after this steal and this 3+1, this is not over, on the contrary, it is just the beginning.

Cao Jian is still Cao Jian, and Cao Jian is still here.

The Timberwolves don't really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves when it matters most.

Crucially, Garnett is not a defender and he doesn't have a lot of scope to move around when it matter.

Although it is true that he can play as a defender, he really has no advantage in playing a defender with his height and not being cut off.

So, he can only be fed the ball.

Feeding the ball, in fact, has great limitations.

Casal still got the ball into Garnett's hands.

Garnett held the ball inside, and Boozer and Big Z also immediately wrapped it up and blocked it under the basket.

This time, the knight Bao Garnett did not dare to be unscrupulous, and they were also afraid after suffering the loss just now.

Although the Timberwolves' tactics didn't succeed just now, this is also what makes Paul . Silas was shocked into a cold sweat, if it wasn't Cao Jian just now, if it wasn't Cao Jian's steal just now, the consequences would be unimaginable, I'm afraid that the game won't have to be played now, and the knight can only accept the defeat.

All thanks to Cao Jian.

Although Cao Jian was lucky to intercept Garnett, however, if it happened again Paul. Silas didn't dare to say that Cao Jian could still come forward to save the knights, which was quite risky.

So, don't dare to wrap up Garnett.

doesn't include Garnett, Garnett is also singles by himself.

However, Garnett was a little hesitant this time, after all, he was facing Boozer and Big Z, not anyone's cat or dog, although Big Z's strength is also unblinking, but he is also the second highest in the league to Yao Ming.

Garnett was also a little hesitant.

Instead of playing, he chooses to pass the ball, and he doesn't know who to pass the ball to.

The Timberwolves ran here, but there was no vacancy, and Garnett couldn't help it, and there was no chance to play alone.

It was at this time that Casal made another mistake after a foul at a critical moment.

He also pulled Cao Jian to Garnett's side and walked the bottom line, and this mistake also completely buried the opportunity for the Timberwolves to pull the score away.

Casal pulls Cao Jian to Garnett's side.

And Cao Jian and Garnett, as the biggest contributors in this game, also met.

And this encounter also determines the outcome of this game.
