Chapter 304 Under the Invincible Battle

When theocracy and authority are questioned, as his followers, they naturally do their best to defend it.

In the minds of Pacers fans, Reggie. Miller is the god in their minds, the object of spiritual sustenance, and as a god, he will naturally not be knocked down by ordinary people.

The Cavaliers challenged the Pacers away, and the Celestial Empire Sports Channel also broadcast the game live.

In the Celestial Empire, Cao Jian's outstanding results in the first round of the game also attracted the attention of countless people, and it was precisely because of Cao Jian's outstanding performance that the attention of the semifinals in the Eastern Region was also raised to a higher level in the second round of the Eastern Region.

And some fans who don't understand the ball also heard the name Cao Jian, and quickly turned into Cao Jian's fans, Cao Jian's loyal fans.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers vs. the Pacers, the game still hasn't started for more than half an hour, because the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers vs. the Pacers game is also scheduled on Sunday, so many fans are also in front of the TV early, and computers are not as popular as they are now.

And the network speed is not as good as it is now, the live broadcast of the game is stuck, using the computer to watch a game can see the effect of a series, using the computer to watch, this is a thing that outweighs the loss.

In major schools, the big guys who have TVs in the dormitories also lock the sports channels early, while those who don't have TVs are cheeky to watch with the crowded.

There are also some students who are familiar with the teachers at the school and even apply for classrooms with the teachers. They did this just to let Cao Jian fight in the NBA.

Naturally, there are still many people who can't watch TV or connect to the Internet, so they just look at the text.

This part of the people. Students who are not white-collar workers who are not working, who have to make up classes on weekends, and who have to take the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, are also holding their mobile phones to swipe the news about this game.

Brush every few seconds.

At that time, mobile phones were not like today's smartphones, you could swipe the web page casually, and watch videos at will. The speed of the Internet is not often several megabytes, only a few pitiful k, but. Many people are still happy to watch it, and they are watching it with relish.

And those who don't have mobile phones are looking at those who have mobile phones, waiting for the teacher to turn the blackboard and go to the board. Don't look over your head in private and ask secretly: how many to many?

A section is a hundred times in a row. I don't feel tired at all.

And even funnier.

A teacher, the class is a political class, but he doesn't want to miss it, so he also clips his mobile phone to the textbook and refreshes it from time to time while he is free.

And when he was reading to a student, he saw that a student was intently refreshing the latest information with his mobile phone, and he was anxious. also asked secretly, "Classmate." How many to many? ”

And the student he asked, but he didn't raise his head, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and replied directly, "Don't make noise." It's not started yet. ”

His answer also directly laughed at the whole class.

……

Thousands of fans are eagerly awaiting, and the Eastern Conference semifinals Cavaliers vs. Pacers game has officially kicked off.

The main lineup sent by the Pacers:

Center: Fortes

Power forward: Xiao O

Small forward: Artest

Shooting guard: Miller

Point guard: Tinsley

On the Cavaliers' side, the main lineup is:

Center: Big Z

Power forward: Boozer

Small forward: James

Shooting Guard: Erik

Point guard: Cao Jian

"From the perspective of the lineup alone, the Cavaliers still have a big deficiency compared to the Pacers, but it's hard to explain what happened on the court, and the Cavaliers also lost the team's star player Ricky at the beginning of the season. Davis, but the Cavaliers have come to this day under the leadership of newcomer Cao Jian, and no one will ask the Cavaliers for more, because they have done a good enough job. ”

After introducing the main lineups of the two sides, Yu Jia also commented.

Yu Jia was right. Many teams in the league are trying to get rid of the hat of the fish belly through the team draft, and the current Cavaliers are like this today, but others do it completely because they deliberately get rid of it, the Lakers chose Magic, the Spurs chose Duncan, and the current Cavaliers have always been a fish belly, but from this point of view, the Cavaliers are more than Magic, more than Tim. Duncan is even greater. ”

Director Zhang also highly respects Cao Jian, in fact, it's not just him, as long as he is a person from the Celestial Empire, who doesn't feel emotional when he sees someone in front of the TV who has the same skin color and the same language as himself?

Yu Jia didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Reasonable about this question, but asked another question, "Coach Zhang, now the league is comparing Cao Jian and Miller which three-point shot is stronger, and who else Cao Jian's three-point shot has surpassed Miller to become the first in history, what do you think about this issue?" ”

"I think Cao Jian has surpassed Miller."

"And is it really surpassing Miller? We'll see in the game. ”

……

The whistle blew.

The battle between the Pacers and the Cavaliers has officially begun.

The jump ball big z first dialed the lead for the knights, and the basketball came to Cao Jian's hands.

Although the Cavaliers got the first chance to attack, however, the Cavaliers did not take advantage of this opportunity.

As soon as the Pacers opened the game, they directly put on a suffocating defense, Cao Jian gave James, James faced Artest's defense, couldn't find a chance to shoot, so he could only give up and pass the ball again, and this time the pass immediately made a mistake, and the old Miller shot out of the air and cut off the ball directly, and then passed Tinsley again.

Tinsley was quick with the ball.

First scored the first 2-pointer for the Pacers.

2-0

"Suffocating defense, as soon as the game started, the Pacers put on a suffocating defense, and the Pacers made mistakes." Yu Jia commented.

"yes. Defense is also what the Pacers do best. Zhang Li followed and said.

Really.

Current Pacers coach Carlisle is a typical college coach who puts a lot of emphasis on defense. A team that focuses on defense.

Now the Pacers are the epitome of you can not score, but you have to be able to defend, which is a big reason why Fords has been reused in Carlisle's system.

Carlisle's coaching style and Larry's. Brown is very much alike. That's why it's rare to score less than 80 points when the Pacers and Pistons are playing against each other.

That's why it's so important.

The Pacers have put pressure on the Cavaliers on the defensive end since the beginning of the game, and the airtight direction has also made the Cavaliers' side extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, being able to achieve the first record in the Eastern Conference this season is also inevitably related to their defense, however, it is only with defense. It certainly won't get them to where they are today.

The Pacers' defense is tough, but the Pacers' tougher point is the Pacers' defensive counter-attack.

Walkers are scary, but even more terrifying. The counterattack after the defense is the scariest thing about the Pacers.

Defended, if you're not paying attention, then the Pacers will give a straight 2. So in this way, the non-pacers chased 4 points at once.

It's like saying this time. The Cavaliers' offense didn't work, and James' pass was cut off.

After the Pacers broke the ball, Miller, Artest and Tinsley, the three sharp knives were also directly three-line fast, Cao Jian, Eric and James had retreated back, but this was useless, and these people just ran one more lap and turned back.

Three-on-three. It seems that the contrast is extremely even, but this is for the knights on the defensive side. But there is no advantage, extremely passive, Tinsley and Artest cooperated, Artest went directly on his own, he didn't jump very high, in order to be scary, he still came to a one-handed split.

Artest's dunk also directly detonated the arena.

The Pacers fans at the scene were also completely boiling.

Many Pacers fans also shouted Artest's name at the top of their voices, and his name also resounded throughout the arena.

The Cavaliers obviously didn't adapt to the rhythm of the Pacers, and they were directly stunned at the beginning.

And when the dunk was successful, Artest also glared at Cao Jian when he retreated, his eyes were fierce, as if Cao Jian had a huge hatred with him.

Cao Jian ignored him.

Artest is a well-known thorn in the alliance, so he shouldn't provoke this kind of person.

Cao Jian's failure to provoke him did not mean that Cao Jian was afraid of him, but that he was too lazy to deal with him. But if Artest really came to provoke himself, then Cao Jian would naturally fight back, Cao Jian seemed to be thin, but he had a strong heart.

He's not a soft persimmon.

In the last game of the first-round series, the Heat played extremely tough, with all kinds of throat locks and all kinds of takedowns, which already made people feel unbearable.

People start saying that the Heat play dirty, and you think he's dirty, but it's just because you haven't seen anything dirtier.

Or maybe you haven't seen how walkers let go.

One word, hard;

Two words, tough;

Three words, very tough;

Frequent physical contact, harassment of various small actions, this series of actions is also a frequent provocation of the referee's penalty scale, in fact, it is just a game.

But playing against the Pacers is like fighting with them, and the Pacers are like man-eating beasts, every move is like trying to defeat the knight, and every move is to tear the knight apart.

Second round.

James tries to break through Artest.

James is extremely physically talented, and he has thrown off several streets compared to Artest, and is not in the same gear at all, however, it is not easy for James to pass Artest.

The reason is very simple, Artest, he doesn't play with you soft eggs will play, he comes hard.

It's like if you're going to pass him, you can.

You have to step over his body, or you will stop me.

Artest couldn't stop James, it was okay, and he just put him down.

Although the referee blew Artest for a foul, he didn't have the slightest sense of what he did, in fact, he was not wrong, but he played harder.

After putting James down, he was whistled for a foul, and he also defied in front of James who fell to the ground. "Boy, don't want to get me by."

This is extremely arrogant and domineering. But James had nothing to say.

In fact, it's not just James, there are many people in the league who suffer from him.

For example, entering the league with James is known as the offensive kaleidoscope of Carmelo. Anthony is one of them.

There was a game between the Nuggets and the Pacers, and Anthony was extremely good at the beginning of the game, and he also scored 12 points in the first half of the game, but. After Artest came back, Anthony also didn't score in two quarters, and was restricted by Artest.

When after this time. Artest also became a nightmare in Anthony's mind.

I don't know if Artest will face James this time, and James will not fail like Anthony, if it fails, then the Cavaliers will be in trouble this game.

Artest was fouled on the ball. Or the Knights' ball possession.

More than half of the time has been consumed just now. This time the serve came out, and the basketball was handed over to Cao Jian, and there was only 1 second left before the 24-second offensive violation.

1 second, what's the use of this?

You're going to have to make a move, and you don't have time to adjust.

Despite this, Cao Jian used this ball to counterattack and use this ball to show his determination. Make your attitude clear.

After receiving the ball from James, Cao Jian rose directly from the ground. There was still one meter outside the three-point line, but this distance was directly ignored by Cao Jian.

Pull it up, and throw it away.

At the beginning, the defensive Tinsley was extremely disdainful and even lazy to defend, but when he saw the basketball thrown by Cao Jian, the "shabu" fell into the basket and the ball went in.

His face turned pale, and his pale face was naturally not because Cao Jianqiu scored, but because after Cao Jianqiu scored, Carlisle on the side of the court roared and roared at him.

Tinsley is not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, and what he is most afraid of is Carlisle's roar.

There was no way but to raise his hand, it was his mistake, he had already rushed over to defend.

In addition to organizing the attack, Tinsley's task in this game is extremely important to contain Cao Jian's attack.

Obviously, he failed to contain Cao Jian's attack just now, which was his mistake, and it also made him waste the efforts of the whole team.

On the basketball court, no one wants to play with someone who is defending hard and his teammates are flying kites. With this kind of person, he will break you down.

Tinsley understood this, so he also blamed himself deeply, and vowed to make up his mind to lock Cao Jian to death.

In fact, he knew this by himself, but Tinsley chose to squirt out, this guy was sick, and he deliberately walked up to Cao Jian and said to Cao Jian, "Hey." Rookie, I'm not going to let you score another point from now on. ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, and went directly to ask for the ball.

Cao Jian was also confused by Tinsley's actions, this guy is crazy.

He didn't understand it either.

Retreat to defend.

The Pacers, on their side, also attacked, and it was Tinsley who was holding the ball.

Tinsley's offense is really nothing compared to Cao Jian's top-level breakup, but he has a set of organizing offenses, or his ability to dribble the ball over half court and hand the ball to his teammates, is indeed a set.

Tinsley passed half-time, Miller came out, and Tinsley immediately split the ball.

Reggie. Miller is an extremely important part of the Pacers' tactical system, and many tactics are played from him, and Tinsley's passing is also practiced.

Man to ball to.

Miller catches the ball, pulls it up and shoots it directly.

This tactic was specially formulated for him, so he was also familiar with it, and shot directly on three-pointers, and Eric, who defended him, only staggered out from the inside at this time, but now he said that he was going to intercept Reggie. Miller: It's not too late.

"Shabu" Miller made a shot and scored a three-pointer.

For this kind of shooting, Miller shoots easily, without the slightest pressure.

Miller scored the ball, and did not forget to blow it, and put on his right hand in a pistol pose, extremely confident.

When he passed by Cao Jian's side, he also glanced at Cao Jian, and the provocation was extremely obvious.

Cao Jian naturally knew that Miller was provoking himself, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't show anything else, just sent over and prepared to serve.

After half the court, the Pacers' defense was still extremely tight and dense. This is especially true of Tinsley's defense against Cao Jian.

Close to the body, his arms are also constantly shaking in front of Cao Jian, in fact. With Cao Jian's current speed, he could directly throw him away in one step, but it didn't work.

Predictably, Tinsley still wants Cao Jian to break through him?

Once Cao Jian breaks through, the Pacers will definitely be decisive in the bag of Cao Jian, and these old guys will naturally punch and kick Cao Jian, which is an inevitable thing, and this kind of thing can definitely be done with the Pacers' level of defense.

Cao Jian didn't choose to break through. Passing, Eric catches the ball, but the ball is received for less than a second. Pass the ball again, the ball is handed over to the inside big Z, the big z singles Fortes, and the big z is tall. But there is no tonnage. This is also destined for him to be a glass man.

When he met a tough guy like Fortes, he couldn't help it, his confidence was gone, he didn't dare to play, the ball was passed out again, he didn't pass the ball, but this pass was stealed.

Nope.

Miller got the ball down quickly and assisted again. Tinsley, who advanced at high speed, scored a one-handed slam dunk.

The Cavaliers' side has been completely stunned by the Knights' attacks since the beginning of the game, and their morale is completely lost.

There is no morale at all.

Paul. Silas also came three minutes after the opening minute. A pause was requested.

The fans at the scene also burst into shocking cries, and the entire stadium was completely boiling.

The morale of the Pacers also reached the maximum of the game.

"Trouble. The Cavaliers' rhythm was completely suppressed by the Pacers' airtight defense at the beginning of the game, and the Cavaliers were spent, but fortunately, the Cavaliers' timeout was also called extremely timely. Director Zhang: What kind of adjustments do you think the Cavaliers will make after this timeout? ”

The knight asked for a pause, and Yu Jia asked the crucial question.

The question asked by Yu Jia is also a little difficult for Zhang Lili, because he doesn't know this question, there is no problem with the skills and tactics of the knights, and the problem is in the hearts of the knight players.

If there is a problem with the tactics, you can adjust it, but if the players have problems with their minds and lack of confidence, you can't say that the coach gives you confidence, it depends on you to adjust and find your rhythm of the game.

"There is nothing wrong with the Cavaliers' skills and tactics, the most important thing is that there is a problem in the players' minds. Blinded by the Pacers' airtight defense. If you want to adjust on the Cavaliers' side, someone has to step up, lead the Cavaliers out of the predicament, and prove that the Pacers are not invincible. ”

Zhang Li continued.

"So who do you think the knights will be the first to step up?"

Yu Jia continued.

"I think it's Cao Jian, and I hope it's Cao Jian."

Zhang Lili is so upright.

Yu Jia and Zhang see it that way, but some of their American counterparts don't see it that way.

TNT Radio ace partners, Barkley and Kenny, also commented on today's game.

Kenny saw it. It's not the same as I predicted. The Cavaliers couldn't withstand the pressure from the Pacers' defense and quickly collapsed, and I think the game ended at halftime, or the first quarter. The Cavaliers lost the game. And this series Pacers will also be swept away. While I've guessed countless Cavaliers games wrong, I can't be wrong about this series. ”

Watching the knight lose, Barkley also danced with his eyebrows and said happily.

As a supporter of the Cavaliers, Kenny was not in such a good mood, and just yesterday he bet on the Cavaliers to win the series upset.

In hindsight, I shouldn't have bought it, and it was already a great thing to get to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a Cavaliers lineup, and I also bought the Cavaliers to be able to cause an upset in the playoffs, and now Kenny wants to chop his hands when he thinks about it.

And now that Barkley is still saying this, Kenny is even more angry, "Sir, you've heard so much that my ears are calloused." Don't want to hear it. ”

"Man, are you questioning the famous assertion of the Great Sir ? Barkley Road.

Kenny didn't bother to bother with Barkley and continued to watch the game.

The timeout called by the Cavaliers has ended, and the game is officially back.

Knights ball possession.

It seems that the adjustment of the Cavaliers is not too useful, the Cavaliers came up, Cao Jian broke through and encountered the Pacers, and passed directly to Eric who was lurking in the three-point low corner.

It was a complete gap, and on a normal basis, this kind of shooting was almost as simple as eating and drinking for Eric, but this time Eric couldn't shoot the ball.

The rebound was grabbed by Xiao O.

And coming back, the Pacers are still Boozer, Xiao Ao attacked, and singled Boozer inside, how can the current Boozer be Xiao Ao's opponent, slash a few times, Boozer went directly out of the basket, and Xiao Ao is a big gap under the basket.

Xiao Ao directly dunked with both hands, and the scene was also detonated again.

The fans at the scene were also boiling again.

The Pause seemed to be of no use to the Pacers just now.

The knight is once again in a dead end.

And who will stand up in such a moment?

Who can stand up?

(Huh~~~~3 days updated almost 60,000 words, squeak, life is not easy.) Ask for a subscription. Ask for a monthly pass, today is over, tomorrow will be useless. And ask for a collection. (To be continued......)
