Chapter 184 Roll up your sleeves

Cao Jian's task may seem like nothing at first, but as it progresses, the difficulty is not just a star and a half.

But does Cao Jian use other options now? He had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After the Golden State Warriors, the Cavaliers' next game against the Utah Jazz is up.

After the game against the Golden State Warriors, the Cavaliers immediately moved to Salt Lake City to prepare for the game against the Utah Jazz.

Now the Utah Jazz record ranks ninth in the West Division, although the Utah Jazz are only ranked ninth in the West Division, but under the current league pattern of the West is strong and the East is weak, their record is in the East Division, and it is also a leading existence, comparable to the Miami Heat, the fourth in the East Division.

No way, the league pattern is like this, two teams with the same record, one can finish fourth in the Eastern Conference, while the other team doesn't even squeeze into the top eight.

I have to say that this is really a huge mockery.

The disparity in strength between the East and the West is also huge.

In the sixth game of the six consecutive away games, he encountered the Utah Jazz, which is not a good thing for the Cavaliers and Cao Jian.

The strength of the opponent is one, in addition, Utah's home stadium is in Salt Lake City, which is a well-known plateau, and the Cavaliers players have all kinds of discomfort when they first come here, and Cao Jian is a typical example of this, colding him.

Cao Jian's cold is not without reason, in fact, he has to blame himself for this.

Coming to Salt Lake City, because this was Cao Jian's first time coming to Salt Lake City to play, he wanted to get used to the arena in advance, and he became addicted to practicing and threw thousands of three-pointers in one go, in fact, this is nothing, the most hateful thing is that the heating in the stadium does not know when it will be turned off.

Cao Jian, who stopped, didn't feel anything, but when he returned to the hotel and took a shower, the problem came, he was very sleepy and tired, and he thought he was tired at first?

However, things are not simple, he couldn't get up the next day, he slept for a day, he was still extremely sleepy, until James next door to him knocked on the door, saw the weak Cao Jian, called the team doctor, and found that Cao Jian had a fever, and the temperature was not low, it reached 39.8, the team doctor went to diagnose that Cao Jian was unable to participate in tonight's game against the Utah Jazz.

Cao Jian caught a cold, which, whether it was for Cao Jian himself or for the knight, was bad news.

However, for the sake of the future, Paul Silas has put him on the injury list.

……

The news that Cao Jian had a fever and couldn't play also came out, and after the media, it also reached the ears of Jazz players.

For Cao Jian to be sick, most of the Jazz players disagreed with the news, thinking that this was not a big deal, and they thought that Cao Jian was too squeamish.

Kirilenko, the current core of the Jazz team, also said, "Sick, sick." Then he escaped a catastrophe, with him or not, the winner of this game must be our Jazz. ”

The Jazz are now in ninth place in the East, and they are only 0.5 wins away from the Houston Rockets in eighth, in other words, if the Jazz can win the Cavaliers in this game, then the Jazz can blow the chrysanthemum of the Houston Rockets in front of them and rank eighth in the West.

For this game, the Jazz must also win.

In addition to the Jazz leader core Kirilenko, Carlos Arroyo, the Jazz's main point guard who is about to play against the Cao family, doesn't know if he realized that Cao Jian would not play, or what he did, at this time, he also began to provoke Cao Jian, "It's really a pity that he can't play, I originally wanted to teach him how to play." ”

Carlos Arroyo, a Puerto Rican professional basketball player, is the fifth Puerto Rican player to land in the NBA.

Hearing the trash talk that the two Cavaliers sprayed before the game, the Cavaliers players were also very upset, but they did not vent in front of reporters, but kept complaining in the locker room.

Among them, the loudest trash talk is still Eric this guy, "Those stinky ** in Salt Lake City, dare to say that, I'm going to give him a good look later." ”

"Shit. I really can't get used to their self-righteous faces. Jeff, the backup point guard, also stood up and spoke.

". Kill the Utah guys. ”

……

If Kirilenko and others are trying to provoke the anger of the Cavaliers' players, then they have succeeded.

But will it be able to control the anger of the Cavaliers' players?

This is also an unknown.

And Cao Jian, who has a high fever, was also absent from the team's training camp this morning, and it is unknown whether he can play tonight.

Since the Cavaliers traded Ricky Davis away, Cao Jian and James have become the team's strongest scoring points, averaging 45 points per game, and they have also become the most important guarantee for the Cavaliers to win.

And Cao Jian has a high fever, if he can't play, then it means that the Cavaliers lack playmakers and strong scoring points, and in the current Cavaliers camp, there is really no point guard who can replace Cao Jian.

Not to mention, the Cavaliers don't, even if you look at the current league, you can't find a point guard like Cao Jian, who can make three points and shoot 42.5%, which is a huge loss for the Cavaliers.

The strength of the Cavaliers themselves is not as good as that of the Jazz, and now it is less Cao Jian, although the Cavaliers are full of confidence and claim to kill the Jazz, but what do they do to defeat others?

It's impossible to fight.

The Cavaliers players were stimulated and their morale was high, but as the Cavaliers coach Paul Silas was frowning, at this time, he really didn't want to hit the morale-boosting boys, but......

And just as Paul Silas was frowning, the door to the dressing room was pushed open.

Paul Silas was also extremely annoyed, turned his head, and just wanted to scold, but seeing clearly that it was Cao Jian, he also stopped in time, he walked up, glanced at Cao Jian, and asked, "Cao, what are you doing here?" ”

Cao Jian glanced at the scene and found that all the Cavaliers players present looked at him, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and then said to Paul Silas: "Mr. Paul, I want to play, I think I can play, and we can beat them." ”
