Chapter 266: Hitting the Playoffs Seven
Chapter 266: Hitting the Playoffs Seven
After a four-game losing streak, the Cavaliers defeated the rising Kings on the road, which was also a surprise to the experts who were not optimistic that the Cavaliers could win before the game.
The Cavaliers, who are in extremely bad shape, are playing against the Kings who are in good shape, and they are still playing on the home court of the Kings, so many unfavorable factors, since the Cavaliers won the game on the King's home court.
This is also a big surprise to some experts who were not optimistic about the Cavaliers before the game.
After the game, these media reporters who were not very optimistic about the Cavaliers before the game also turned the wind around one after another, and stood up and said good things about the Cavaliers.
What to say about the Cavaliers players state resurgence!
What to say from the 22-game winning streak period of the knights is back.
As for Cao Jian, who performed the most well in the battle against the king, he did not hesitate to speak, blowing Cao Jian out of the sky and saying that he was the best newcomer of the year.
It is said that Cao Jian is unprecedented and uninitiated, with Cao Jian's identity and status as the first to enter the alliance, he has created such achievements, which can be called a miracle, which is something that only God can do.
There are even some media who advocate that if the Cavaliers' record is only fifth in the Eastern Conference and 16th in the league, Cao Jian should be elected MVP of the regular season.
Although there are some exaggerated elements in the media comments, Cao Jian's performance in the battle against the knights can fully afford this honor.
In the whole game, Cao Jian scored 62 points. In addition to scoring, he also dished out 15 assists and six steals.
And that's just a part, or a small part.
The role of Cao Jian. It's not just the data that can tell the whole story.
In the game, Cao Jian's terrifying scoring ability also completely attracted the attention of the king's defense, and it was precisely because Cao Jian attracted most of the king's attention that other players of the Cavaliers also got the opportunity, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Cavaliers like Eric, Boozer and Big Z also found their rhythm.
In this regard, Eric is also particularly evident.
This game. Previously, during the Cavaliers' 22-game winning streak, this outside output point. also regained his old feeling, and in the whole game, Eric also made 10 three-point shots, hitting 7 of them. It was also a personal career record.
Except for Eric. Boozer and Big Z, too
Compared to Boozer, the performance of the big z is particularly obvious.
Because, Cao Jian and Eric, the two knights, stabilized the turret and freed up enough space for the knights' inner line, and they also got a lot of one-on-one opportunities in the inner line.
In the face of the bag clip, the big z ability can't crack the bag clip, but. Speaking of one-on-one, the strength of Big Z is also extremely good. In the league, it is still in the middle and upper echelons.
If it weren't for players of O'Neal and Yao Ming's level, he would still be able to fight.
He is second only to Yao Ming's height, plus because he is a European player, he has a soft touch and solid fundamentals, which also makes him comfortable on the inside.
This is also a good way to bring out his strengths.
And what about Boozer?
It's not because he didn't get back into his form, it's that he came back, it's just that he met Chris. Weber.
Boozer faces Weber, there is still a gap in hard power, this is not a problem that can be solved when Boozer is back in form.
This problem does not have time to accumulate and advance in strength, which cannot be solved at all.
And James.
Because, because of Cao Jian, James's battle was also unprecedentedly easy.
Cao Jian attracted the attention of most of the Kings players, and the Kings did not dare to wrap up James.
James' breakthrough talent has also been reflected to the greatest extent.
In response to Cao Jian's role in the Cavaliers, in an interview after the game, the main point guard on the Kings' side, Mike . Bibby also mentioned, "He's a player to be reckoned with, you can't relax at any moment against him, you can pass, you can break through, you can shoot, he can do anything, but, most importantly, he can make his teammates better." ”
In addition to the Kings' main point guard Mike. In addition to Bibby, Kings coach Adelman also mentioned, "In this battle, we didn't lose to the Cavaliers, but to Cao." Oh, my God. Do you know how many points he scored in the first half? We couldn't defend him, so we lost. ”
Adelman's words are a bit of a sense of sowing discord, but what he said is not true, in this battle, the Kings lost, largely because they could not defend the omnipotent Cao Jian.
I believe that after this battle, Cao Jian will become a nightmare for the king's players for a long time in the future.
After the battle between the knights and the king.
As the No. 1 hero of the Cavaliers' victory, Cao Jian was also praised to the sky.
Also this time, Cao Jian's ranking on the 'Best Rookie' list also left his teammate LeBron. James and behind Carmelo. Anthony signs that he is starting to lead the league.
In the regular season MVP candidate selection, the Cavaliers Cao Jian is also ranked seventh, one position higher than the Mavericks leader Northwest, which is a big honor for a player who has not been drafted in the lottery area and signed as a free agent.
Cao Jian is not a legend, but he is already slowly moving towards the path of legend.
In addition to the above honors and Cao Jian's side, in the best team selected by the media, Cao Jian Haoran is listed, although it is not the first team, but the third team, although it is so, but with a non-draft player, without the lottery area, moreover, is still a yellow race, to win such an honor, this is already an extremely remarkable achievement.
Even if they pass through the lotto area, and they are black, they may not be able to reach the height of Cao Jian all their lives.
From this point of view, Cao Jian is a legendary existence.
And because of that. Cao Jian also became the object of envy, jealousy, and hatred of others.
Envy is a minority after all, everyone is about the same level, and. Cao Jian is still a yellow race, among the white, yellow, and black races, in comparison, the yellow people are the least favored in the basketball field to play basketball, and Cao Jian happens to be a yellow race.
Man is really a very strange creature. They don't feel jealous of people they need to look up to, but rather people who are similar to them.
It's like saying. A white-collar worker will not be jealous of Li Ka-shing, but will only worship. However, he will treat the one in his circle of friends who is similar to himself. People who take 500 more yuan a month than themselves develop jealousy, hatred, and even hostility.
Before Cao Jian became famous, everyone was disdainful of Cao Jian. Don't even bother to look at it.
But. When Cao Jiancheng was famous, they also paid attention.
And just after Cao Jiancheng became famous, after surpassing himself a little bit, they were more hateful.
They hated why it was Cao Jian, not themselves.
Why did God favor Cao Jian instead of them?
They think that they are no worse than Cao Jian, and even surpass them.
Among them, with Cao Jian. He was also the 29th selected by the Mavericks in the first round this year. Howard is a prime example of this.
After the knight fights the king, the next battle is the opponent. It was a visit to the Dallas plus Mavericks.
The battle between the Cavaliers and the Mavericks hasn't started yet, Josh. Howard didn't know if he wanted to rely on Cao Jian's hype to make himself more famous, or if he simply looked down on Cao Jian, and in an interview, he also said, "He's just a rookie like me." He doesn't deserve these honors. ”
"The seventh candidate for MVP in the regular season, he doesn't deserve it, and I think our Dirk is more suitable for that position."
"He's just been mythologized. He's nothing remarkable. After all, he's in a team that doesn't have a good record, and if I had to go, I could have done the same. ”
Josh. Howard's provocative words are extremely obvious, and this kind of provocation, when he was interviewed by the media, he just hehe, and did not answer positively.
Didn't pay any further attention.
Cao Jian has seen this kind of provocation too much, so that he himself is too lazy to pay attention to it now.
Josh. Howard's words, in Cao Jian's view, are equivalent to saying, give me how many tens of thousands to do projects, and I can become a millionaire.
But will they give you a million?
Apparently not.
The reason why Cao Jian achieved today's success is not because of others, but through his own hands, step by step, countless sweats, sleeping in others, games, entertainment, nightclubs, and playing with women, but he endured loneliness and loneliness, and he brushed wildly in the dungeon, not out of thin air.
It's not like Josh. Howard said, because, Cao Jian can achieve such results in the Cavaliers.
Is this really the case with such results in the Knights?
The answer, of course, is no.
In the knights, if you don't work hard, I'm afraid that it will be impossible for Cao Jian to stay.
Don't say anything else.
Get the knight seriously, get Paul. Silas reused, Cao Jian also spent countless efforts, everything he got today, how can there be Josh. Howard said it was as simple as that.
Josh. Cao Jian didn't pay attention to Howard's words, and he didn't think there was anything, but the fans who supported him stood up one after another to complain about Cao Jian.
For a time, Josh. Howard was also directly drowned in the saliva of Cao Jian's fans.
Cao Jian didn't know anything about this.
Even if he knew, Cao Jian didn't have time to pay attention to it.
The Cavaliers are about to hit the playoffs, countless honors are waiting for him to snatch, and the competitors are so strong that he is still waiting to improve, he really has no time to pay attention to these things.
Now Cao Jian is not only brushing copies, but also brushing copies, and now Cao Jian is also preparing for the playoffs.
Cao Jian also set himself a goal to improve his strength to the passing line before entering the playoffs, and if he can, to reach the league's top guard strength level.
How important strength is to a basketball player, and after countless games, Cao Jian knows this better than anyone else.
Cao Jian was lucky.
He is eager to improve his strength, but the system is really too slow to brush copies, and the speed is not fast, but the intimate system has a very good task at this time:
Win Mavericks. Lead the Cavaliers to 2 consecutive wins. Reward: 5,000,000 XP. Penalty: 5,000,000 XP.
The reason why this task is good is not that this task is easy to complete, on the contrary, it is still very difficult to complete this task.
The difficulty is not small at all, and Cao Jian is not very sure whether he can complete this task.
The Mavericks are fifth in the West and placed in the top four in the East Region, although in the last game, Cao Jian played well and was confident, but this is not a reason for Cao Jian to win.
As for Cao Jian, he thinks this task is good, mainly because the task reward is extremely rich.
500,000 XP, which is an extremely generous reward, just enough to make up for the last time you used the skill of [Hour of Domination].
This is a point, and it is extremely important.
What's more, in the last battle, after the knights won the king, the knights also found a winning rhythm, and Cao Jian also wanted to take advantage of this battle to check the state of the knights.
Of course, the state check needs to have a certain strength team.
The calf couldn't be more suitable.
The exception is that Cao Jian wants to let his teammates win again and stabilize his self-confidence again.
The last point is that the New York Knicks led by Marbury in the back are also chasing extremely fiercely.
Although, the Cavaliers won against the Kings, which made it impossible for the New York Knicks to narrow the number of wins, but because the New York Knicks also won, the number of wins between the two teams has not changed, and the Cavaliers also have a faint tendency to be blown up.
And the Miami Heat, who are in front of the Cavaliers, lost yesterday to the Los Angeles Lakers, which is an opportunity for the Cavaliers to chase the Heat.
This opportunity is not often used, and if you miss it, it may be gone.
Cao Jian also accepted this task for the first time.
Accepting this task, Cao Jian was not at ease at all, the calf was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
Now in the Mavericks camp, there are also a number of capable players such as Nowitzki, Nash, and Jamison, and the Cavaliers are really difficult to win against the Mavericks, but the task is already next, and Cao Jian must win.
As for how to win, this can only be truly understood when it is time to play.
That night, the game between the Cavaliers and the Mavericks also officially kicked off.
This battle because before the game, Josh. Howard's remarks also led to unprecedented attention to this game.
According to media reports, the Mavericks also sold out all the tickets for this battle.
The game has not yet started, the knights locker room.
Fans are waiting for the game to start, because in the last game the Cavaliers beat the Kings, the players' self-confidence has also recovered, and the players are also chattering and talking a lot before the game, but there is one focus, that is, to win!
There is also the fact that they plan to let James help Cao Jian teach a lesson, and Josh, who was very arrogant before the game. Smith.
