Chapter 288: Series 1, Battle Heat 2
Chapter 288 Series 1, Battle Heat 2
Cao Jian, who is really determined to turn on the offensive mode, is unstoppable.
Cao Jian came over with the ball, Jones came up, and the others were also eyeing Cao Jian, as long as Cao Jian moved, they could also come up at any time to defend Cao Jian.
However, Cao Jian did not give them this opportunity.
Shake Jones straight away and shoot a three-pointer.
"Shabu" basketball entered the net.
Cao Jian scored in the opening game for the first time, which was also the first goal on the Cavaliers' side.
Before the start of the series, some media questioned Cao Jian, they thought that in the regular season, Cao Jian's performance was extremely good, and he was elected as the 'best rookie', judging by his performance, however, what they care about is whether Cao Jian, who performed extremely vigorously in the regular season, can have an excellent performance in the playoffs, which is what they are concerned about.
After all, in the league, and even in the history of the league, Cao Jian is one and only player who uses the three-point shot as his own offensive weapon in the regular season.
This is not very common in the league.
The media also questioned whether Cao Jian could have a stable performance and stable performance in the playoffs, everyone knows that a three-pointer can get three points, but how can people make it so easy for you to shoot three-pointers in the playoffs?
Every team doesn't let up in the playoffs.
It is normal for them to have this kind of concern, and even the fans of the Cavaliers themselves are faintly worried about Cao Jian, but Cao Jian's three-point shot is still accurate. Cao Jian also justified his name again.
After the ball, the Heat counterattacked, and Wade shook off Eric's emergency stop. ball.
The Cavaliers are still Cao Jian, Cao Jian still chooses to shoot three-pointers, this time Jones's defense can't be better, he almost didn't foul, but he still can't defend Cao Jian, Cao Jian shoots out of the three-point line, and Cao Jian hits a three-point shot again.
With Cao Jian's personal efforts. The Cavaliers also scored six points, and the current score between the two sides is also 6-15.
The knight's side, driven by Cao Jian, is also slowly gaining momentum.
Seeing that Cao Jian has a rising momentum. The Heat also increased their defensive efforts against it, and this time the people who defended Cao Jian added Wade, and Wade and Jones pinched Cao Jian left and right, and. Cao Jian was still more than a meter away from the three-point line at this time. However, Cao Jian still hit it steadily.
9-15
On the knight's side, after Cao Jianbiao rose, the score gradually caught up.
But the Knights' side is not as good as five people to score alone, and the Knights will definitely not be able to win the game by relying on Cao Jian alone.
Cao Jian is very clear about this point of sharing the ball, however, this does not play a big role, the Cavaliers lost three shots, and the Heat also increased the difference to 12 points again. In the opening 8 minutes, the difference between the two sides was also fixed at 9-22.
Knights ball possession.
Cao Jian knew that his teammates still couldn't get rid of their demons in their current position. There is no way to take over the game again, and the Heat's defense of him is still extremely tight.
Despite this, this still can't limit Cao Jian.
Because the defensive circle on the Heat's side expanded, Cao Jian chose to break through this time, dodging and moving in the crowd, and finally scored a low-handed basketball directly through Haslem on the inside.
The Heat relied on the whole team to gradually pull the score away, while the Cavaliers relied on Cao Jian to gradually narrow the score, and Cao Jian had worked hard.
However, the Heat's defense for him, the opportunity did not come out so easily, and his teammates did not give it a try, which led to the end of the first quarter of the game, and the Cavaliers were also 11 points behind the Heat.
It's a bit unreasonable to be so far behind on your home turf.
However, the fans are also extremely glad that this is on their home court, and if it is at the home court of the Heat, it will be even more behind.
In the second quarter, the problem of the Cavaliers' rotation was once again vividly displayed, and within a minute of the Cavaliers' main force, all members returned to the court, and Cao Jian did not rest directly.
Keep on the field and fight.
Under the leadership of Cao Jian, the Cavaliers also narrowed the score to single digits, but it didn't take long for all the main players on the Heat side to return to the court.
The main force of the Heat came back, with plenty of rest, and as soon as Odom came back, he shot directly from the mid-range and hit it.
Taking advantage of the failure of the Cavaliers' offense, the Heat is also a fast attack, after Odom grabbed the basketball, he made a long pass directly, and the basketball also came to Wade, who was launching a fast attack.
Wade held the ball and went down quickly, Eric in the back wanted to catch up, but it was too late, Wade directly dunked with both hands.
The Heat pulled the score away again.
Cao Jian is still extremely patient in organizing his teammates to attack, and when it doesn't work, he shoots on his own, and Cao Jian is also trying to save his teammates, however, it is useless.
The consequence of his doing so was that the score was further stretched.
By the end of the first half, the Cavaliers were already trailing by 18 points.
The Heat is also forcing Cao Jian to do it by himself, Cao Jian can score, this is right.
In the third quarter of the game, Cao Jian scored 21 points in a single quarter, the score was high enough, his 21 points were almost all the points of the Cavaliers in the third quarter, but Cao Jian could score, and the Heat could also score, Odom, Butler, and Wade were all among the good players, and the combined scores of these three people in the third quarter also reached 31 points, and it was useless for Cao Jian to score alone.
At the end of the third quarter, the Heat led by 24 points.
The result of this is also to cause the Cavaliers fans to leave the court one after another after the end of the third quarter of the game, and the Cavaliers fans have gone for the most part, in fact, it is no wonder that the Cavaliers fans are so unkind, abandoning them at this time, just spending money to watch the Cavaliers lose the game, which makes them extremely uncomfortable.
It's like spending money to buy sin.
After the third quarter of the Cavaliers' game, the trailing score came to 24 points, how can this game be played?
It's impossible to fight.
It's the playoffs, not the regular season. After the regular season trailed by so many points after the third quarter, there was room for redemption, mainly because opponents might be careless.
But this is the playoffs.
The playoffs and the regular season are two completely different concepts. No one is going to let the water out in the playoffs.
Winning a playoff game or not is the difference between a team and whether it can qualify.
Who wouldn't be careless.
The miracle didn't happen in the end, even if Cao Jian contributed another 18 points in the final quarter of the game, it was also to no avail, and the score was too far behind.
In the end, on their home court, the first round of the playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Heat, the Cavaliers lost the game at home by a huge margin of 20 points.
The Cavaliers lost the first game at home.
It was hard to snatch the home advantage. It was also after the first game of the series that it returned to the Heat, which also cast a cloud of doubt on the whole of Cleveland.
Losing the game.
The knights' locker room is also less noisy before. There was more silence among the guys.
After this game, the knights were also beaten back to their prototypes again.
On their home turf, they also lost by 20 points.
In the Cavaliers and Heat series, the media also predicted before the game that they could play seven games. And the Cavaliers with home-court advantage will have the advantage.
But after this game. The Cavaliers are also generally underestimated, and the outside world also believes that the Cavaliers will eventually lose the game with a score of 4-2.
The Cavaliers are not bad, and even, some media still think that the Cavaliers will eventually be swept 4-1 or even 4-0.
There is every word in the outside world.
But no matter what you say, I don't think the Cavaliers can beat the Heat in this series against the Heat.
It's not without reason that they think so.
The depth of the Cavaliers' lineup is not as deep as that of the Heat, and an extremely important reason is that except for Cao Jian, everyone else on the Cavaliers' side is extremely unstable.
In the first battle of the series with the Heat, the Cavaliers except for Cao Jian. Everyone else has been extremely inconsistent, even this year's champion James.
This is also the main reason why outside experts and the media are not optimistic about the Knights.
The first game of the first round of the series. All team results are out.
The Cavaliers were also the only team in the top four that couldn't win a worse record than themselves, with the Pacers, who were in first place in the East, won, the Nets, who were second in the East, and the ~Live~ Plugs, who were third, also won.
It's just a knight.
This is a real shame for the knights.
It's a shame, but it's a thing of the past.
Time passed quickly, and the second game of the series was upon us.
The battle is coming again.
This battle is also a battle for the Cavaliers, and if they lose, then the Cavaliers are likely to have no hope for this series at all.
If they win, then the Cavaliers still have a good chance of winning the series.
This battle is also extremely crucial.
Although this battle is also extremely crucial, in this game, the knights still failed to play at the level they should have, and everyone except Cao Jian was also extremely sluggish.
The bad form of the last game continued in this game, Cao Jian was already working hard, but he still couldn't wake up his teammates, and he was still sluggish.
The game begins.
Cao Jianyi changed the first game to organize the offense first, organizing his teammates to play, but coming by himself.
In this game, Cao Jian was also full of firepower, and hit a three-point shot at the top of the three-point arc at the beginning of the game, first for the Cavaliers to take the lead, and then steal Wade again, and he won the fast attack.
directly helped the Cavaliers take a 5-0 lead, and Cao Jian also continued his performance in the first game of the series today.
But his teammates didn't.
On the Heat side, the performance of Heat players is also extremely strong, especially for players like Wade, who are specially born for big scenes.
After Cao Jian, Wade went straight to the Cavaliers inside the box again and directly caused Boozer to foul, stood on the free throw line, and made both free throws.
Wade's goal was also officially declared war on Cao Jian.
Cao Jian immediately hit a three-pointer to counterattack.
The first quarter of the game also became a show for Cao Jian and Wade, and the two sides went back and forth, although Wade's scoring ability was one of the best among so many rookies, but it was still a little worse than Cao Jian, a super scorer.
Cao Jian scored 18 points in the first quarter, and these 18 points were almost all the points in the first quarter on the Cavaliers' side, and Wade also scored 14 points.
Although Cao Jian and Wade won the match, because in addition to Wade's scoring, the Heat also had a lot of helpers.
Whether it's Odom, Butler or Jones, they all have two brushes.
These guys also scored in the first quarter.
The Cavaliers still trailed in the first quarter, and they also trailed by 9 points at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game rotation time, the Heat also faintly had the posture of pulling the score away, and at this critical moment, Cao Jian stepped forward again to stabilize the score.
Seeing that his teammates were still out of shape, he still came by himself.
Cao Jian's performance in the second quarter was still strong, after scoring 18 points in the first quarter, Cao Jianza scored 15 points in the second quarter, and Cao Jian also scored 33 points in the half.
The score is not low.
This is not a regular season, this is a playoffs, in such a cruel environment of playoff competition, Cao Jian can still score such a score, which shows how strong his offensive ability is.
But basketball is not a one-man sport.
Cao Jian's personal offensive ability is very strong, which is even the opponent of Heat coach Parker. Riley also never denied that even after the first game of the series, Parker . Riley added, "He's a top scorer and we can't limit him, we can just consume him. ”
Parker. Riley has never praised a person so much, and this person is still a rookie, which shows how strong Cao Jian is.
But again, basketball is not a one-person sport, no matter how strong Cao Jian is, his knights teammates are not strong, which is not very useful.
Even in the first half, Cao Jian did his best for the Cavaliers, but the effect was not very good, and the Cavaliers were still 14 points behind at the end of the half.
This is extremely dangerous for knights.
Taking advantage of the half-time timeout, Paul. Silas also scolded the Cavaliers players, however, these people were still not woken up.
In the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers were still supported by Cao Jian.
In the third quarter of the game, after Wade scored a breakthrough shot in the opening game, Cao Jian also stepped forward and hit a three-point shot directly.
Cao Jian's personal attack is still fierce, but he is alone on the Cavaliers' side, even James, who often helped him in the regular season, was invisible again in this game after being invisible in the last game, and James is now habitually acting as an invisible man.
On the Cavaliers' side, Cao Jian is still struggling to support, using him to break through again and again with three points and breakthroughs again and again to disintegrate the opponent, Cao Jian worked so hard to get the Cavaliers not to be pulled apart, otherwise the Cavaliers will definitely collapse at the end of the third quarter of the game.
But even so, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers still trailed by 15 points, and the margin was still very large.
Is the Knight really going to be finished this time?
