Chapter 281: Hitting the playoffs twenty-two
Casal's mistake was fatal, he shouldn't have been here.
He brought Cao Jian to Garnett's side, not to mention, Cao Jian's position was Garnett's blind spot.
Cao Jian can see Garnett, Garnett can't see Cao Jian, Garnett can't see Cao Jian and doesn't say, at this time, Casal should remind Garnett, but Casal didn't.
It's not meant to be a reminder at all. People who don't know, still think that Casal is an undercover agent planted on the knight's side?
Since the opponent gave such a chance to make a mistake, Cao Jian naturally would not let it go, and at this extremely critical moment, Cao Jian fought again, gave up the pursuit of his defender Casal, and instead extended his claws to Garnett.
rushed towards Garnett, who was in the low post, hesitating whether to play alone or pass, before Garnett found out, Cao Jian shot directly with lightning speed, and with a "snap", the basketball in Garnett's hand was also slapped by Cao Jian.
Garnett didn't expect that at this moment, Cao Jian would kill behind him and break the ball, which he didn't expect, he didn't expect Cao Jian to sneak attack in the back beforehand.
He was still thinking about saving something, and he also yelled at the referee: foul! Foul! Moreover, he also raised his hand to signal to the referee, Cao Jian fouled, Cao Jian really fouled.
However, the referee shook his head, and after that, he ignored the referee.
Cao Jian's broken ball was also very clean, and he dared to pack the ticket and say. He had absolutely no foul on the ball.
Therefore, after breaking the ball, Cao Jian's first choice was to hurry up. Launch a fast attack.
At this time, time is a victory.
The knight fans present saw Cao Jian launch a fast attack, and the scene also broke out with cheers like waves crashing on the shore, and the eyes of the fans were all locked on Cao Jian.
The game is coming to an end, and the Cavaliers are still 2 points behind, and this goal is in or not. 2 points or 3 points, this is also directly related to whether the knights can reverse and win. This goal is crucial.
He's even concerned with the fourth place in the East Division.
At this time, there are still 24 seconds left before the end of the game, and the time is also passing quickly, and this wave of attacks is not successful. Then the knight is really hanging. Now the Cavaliers are still one point behind. If this wave of offense can't be played, then the Cavaliers will really lose this last chance to win.
Everyone knows the importance of this ball, and naturally the Knight coach is also included in it, Cao Jian broke the ball and immediately launched a fast attack, he was so excited that he even forgot to say anything, just looked at Cao Jian fixedly, expecting him to create a miracle.
And on the Cavaliers bench, everyone stood up. The heads also unconsciously leaned forward and lined up in a row. I have to say that this is also an extremely beautiful landscape.
At this time, the Timberwolves coach, since he saw Cao Jian's successful break, he was not decided, tearing his throat on the side of the court, pointing at the court with his right index finger, Cao Jian, who was dribbling and running quickly, roared vigorously, "Stop him!" ”
"Quick, stop him for me."
The voice was exhausted, like a madman.
This battle, for the Cavaliers, is about whether they can win the fourth position in the Eastern Conference, and this game is very important.
And this battle, for the Timberwolves, is not the case, this battle is not to blame the Timberwolves for being so concerned, which is also related to whether they can enter the first place in the Western Conference.
As before, the Cavaliers vs Timberwolves are really a narrow encounter, but who wins?
This also depends on how Cao Jian's ball should be handled.
Cao Jian's quick kill in the front court seemed to be a quick attack to win 2 points, but in fact, he had every chance, and the Timberwolves were only 2 people who came back from the defense.
Relying on his unparalleled breakthrough ability, he could do this, but at such a critical moment, Cao Jian did not do so.
The reason why he didn't do it was for nothing, because he saw that the monitor showed that there were 24 seconds left in the clock, which was the time of a wave of attacks.
If you choose to break fast, even if you score the ball, then there is still time left for the Timberwolves, which cannot be killed with one shot, and the Cavaliers' side is still extremely dangerous.
Regardless of whether the Timberwolves score or not, the initiative is not in his hands, Cao Jian feels extremely dangerous.
The Cavaliers have struggled for so long just to seize the opportunity to gain home-court advantage, and he doesn't want to miss it like that.
This is something that must not be allowed to happen.
Therefore, he gave up this opportunity to chase points, and chose to waste time instead.
Cao Jian's doing this, in fact, is also extremely risky.
Although Cao Jian can seize the initiative by doing this, this is also unexpected for the knight's last shot, and he must enter, if he does not enter, then the knight will completely lose this opportunity.
Or rather, the Cavaliers are completely out of contention for the fourth place in the East.
The Cavaliers fans at the scene also knew this, so after shouting, the scene fell silent again.
The cavaliers fans present had solemn expressions, their eyes locked on Cao Jian, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
This goal is directly related to the future of the Cavaliers, if you score, you have a chance, if you don't score, then I'm sorry that you will compete for the fourth place in the Eastern Conference next season.
This is extremely cruel and cruel for a knight.
The Timberwolves saw that Cao Jian did not choose to break through, and while they were relieved, they were also extremely worried, Cao Jian did not choose to break fast and score 2 points, then the ball is in the hands of the Knights, which means that the initiative is also in the hands of the Knights.
The Timberwolves have no initiative.
If this wave of offense can't be defended, then the Timberwolves are not far from defeat.
All these things they are fighting for will also say goodbye to them.
Therefore, after Cao Jian dribbled over half the court, the Timberwolves coach also roared on the sidelines, "Defense!" ”
"Defend! Defend! ”
"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”
In addition, the position of the players was emphasized again and again. Point out the mistakes.
This time, the Timberwolves are also on standby, waiting for Cao Jian to attack.
But Cao Jian's side chose 2 points and went into overtime. Or do you choose 3 points and kill the game directly?
Neither of these two outcomes is what the Timberwolves want to see.
And to do this, what must be done is to start from this moment, defend, and restrain Cao Jian at all costs.
In the process, time also flies. 24 seconds to 20 seconds, 20 seconds to 15 seconds, 15 seconds to 10 seconds. The Timberwolves still couldn't sink first, and the Timberwolves also surrounded Cao Jianbao, who was in the middle circle.
And after Casal went up, James also came over to answer Cao Jian.
James wanted to come over.
Cao Jian waved his hand and asked him not to come. Signaling that he can solve it himself.
Casal went up. The battle situation is also imminent, and the knight fans on the scene can't help but tighten their hearts.
The game has reached a fever pitch, this is the most critical moment of the game, success or failure in one move, the ball is not scored, then the knight is completely finished.
There is no room for error in this ball.
All the fans at the scene stood up, and all their eyes were locked on Cao Jian.
Casal went up, and the Timberwolves coach was even more anxious. He also yelled at the court, "Stop him!" ”
"Gotta stop him!"
And it's right now. Cao Jian moved suddenly, and the frequency of dribbling suddenly accelerated, such a change in rhythm was also unexpected by Casal.
10 seconds, these 10 seconds are enough for Cao Jian, and even more.
It obviously didn't take him so much time to shoot at one shot, but Casal acted in advance, which also forced Cao Jian to move him in advance, shake off Casal, and advance at high speed towards the Timberwolves' inside, instead of the three-point shot that the Timberwolves thought it was, which was really unexpected by everyone.
Seeing Cao Jian break through the Timberwolves, he also began to encircle Cao Jian, and almost all the attention of the five people on the Timberwolves' side was on Cao Jian's body, and Cao Jian attracted the attention of the five Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves soldiers were also led by Cao Jian.
What they didn't expect was that Cao Jian seemed to choose to break through, but in fact, it was just because the Timberwolves' focus on his last shot was mostly on his three-point shot, except for Garnett, everyone else also stepped on the three-point line to defend.
The Timberwolves are also expected to give the Cavaliers the last shot to Cao Jian.
It's perfectly normal for them to have this kind of thinking.
Most of the Cavaliers' key shots this season are handled by Cao Jian.
This game is so crucial, and this goal is even more decisive for the victory of this game, and this goal must be handed over to Cao Jian to deal with.
Therefore, it is always right to besiege Cao Jian.
However, they only guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end.
There was nothing wrong with the knight handing over the ball to Cao Jian to deal with this, but what they didn't expect was that Cao Jian's way of handling the ball turned out to be a breakthrough.
In fact, it was not a breakthrough, but Cao Jian went around the inside line, and after that, he came out of the Timberwolves inside again and headed towards the bottom corner of the three-point line.
Cao Jian went around the inner line for such a circle, it seemed useless and wasted time, after this circle, there were still 2 seconds left in the time, but there was not much time left for Cao Jian.
However, it is also because Cao Jian has gone around in such a big circle, Cao Jian has no one to defend in front of him, and there is no one to defend in front of him.
At this time, the [White Eye] skill also shows that if Cao Jian chooses to shoot at this time, the shooting rate will reach 100%, for Cao Jian, this is an opportunity, tiptoe lightly, knees slightly bent, and the body is also pulled up from the ground stiffly, and the body rises to the highest point.
After Cao Jian finished a circle on the inside, he directly chose to shoot at the bottom corner of the three-point corner, which also surprised everyone.
Garnett under the basket also pounced towards Cao Jian, his body showed a swooping posture, his arms were raised, and his eyes were full of panic.
Garnett flew over desperately, trying in vain to block Cao Jian's shot, to be exact, to interfere with Cao Jian, Garnett has height, arm span, and bounce, and it is not difficult to block Cao Jian.
However, Cao Jian had already completed the preparation for shooting in the air, his wrist was lightly pressed, and the basketball was also rolled out from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.
The basketball swirled and slashed through the tip of Garnett's index finger, just right to cut through it, as if it were a thin piece of paper, very thin, very thin.
Almost.
It's just a little bit off.
Garnett still prayed in his heart that Cao Jian's shot would not be scored, not to score, however, when he saw the arc of Cao Jian's mouth raised high, he also knew that this was impossible, and his heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden.
However, he still couldn't believe it, turned around, but found that the basketball that crossed the sky smashed directly into the basket, and a crisp sound sounded on the forehead, and the basketball directly stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.
In fact, what else is this, what makes Garnett most angry is that at the moment when the basketball penetrates the net, the red light on the monitor above the court is also on at the right time, "Dudu Dudu!! The whistle at the end of the long game also sounded at the right time, which also meant that the game was officially over, and Cao Jian killed the Timberwolves with a sword.
What bothered Garnett was that Cao Jian didn't give the Timberwolves any chance, not even 0.01 seconds, and directly killed the Timberwolves with a sword.
After killing the Lakers, at the most critical moment, Cao Jian stepped forward again to kill the Timberwolves again, killing twice in three days to win another game for the Cavaliers.
The knight fans at the scene couldn't even believe that this was true, and after a long silence, the scene also erupted into a cry like a storm crashing on the shore, and the fans at the scene also shouted Cao Jian's name vigorously.
Cao Jian's teammates didn't care about the court or off the court, at the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Cao Jian was also full of attraction like a black hole, and they were also like a tide towards Cao Jian.
And the reporters on the side of the stadium also surrounded Cao Jian with long guns and short cannons, and quickly surrounded him, clicking, clicking, clicking, and constantly giving close-ups to Cao Jian.
Cao Jian's lore is not a simple lore, this lore is Cao Jian's second lore in three days.
There are many people who can kill them, but like Cao Jian, there are not many people who can stage two kills in three days.
Cao Jian: This is a great honor.
Compared with the Cavaliers' side, the Timberwolves' side is full of loneliness, led by Garnett, they are all at a loss without exception, they almost can't believe that this is true, losing in this way, this is also unbearable for them, this is really too cruel for them.
But that's the way the game is, there are always winners and losers, but it's just unfortunate that the loser is the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves left the game in solitude.
It also means that the Cavaliers have once again won another game of the invincible battle, so as long as the Cavaliers win the game against the Heat on April 18, the Cavaliers will enter the fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
