Chapter 265: Hitting the Playoffs Six

Barkley sprayed the Cavaliers like this, and it didn't take long for the Cavaliers to give him a resounding slap in the face again for his opinion, and Cao Jian also took practical actions to prove that he, Cao Jian, now Cao Jian, is fully capable, with his own ability, to carry the team on his shoulders and move forward.

Pause back.

Cao Jian once again dominated the game.

The Cavaliers, on their side, still couldn't contain the Kings' attacking like a cloud of peers, and the defense was not strong, especially on the inside Boozer, which was almost completely blown out by Webb.

He was beaten by Webb to two, and on the offensive end, they also did a good job of limiting the Cavaliers' offense, so the Kings also narrowed the score to only one point in the end.

"That's what I said, Cao is very powerful, but he is far from the moment when he can dominate the game, relying on him alone, the knight can't do it, the knight is lost. I don't think the Cavaliers will be pulled apart in a single quarter. ”

At the moment when the Cavaliers were in trouble, Barkley was the first to stand up and lash out.

However, it was also after this attack that Cao Jian stood up again to fight back.

After scoring 13 points in a row, the offense on the Cavaliers' side was not strong, and Cao Jian stepped forward alone.

At 6 minutes and 56 seconds in the first quarter, he made a three-point arc and faced Mike. Bibby and Doug's defense, Cao Jian turned his back, shook off the two who were trying to pounce, and shot a three-point shot outside the three-point line.

"Shabu" ball scored.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the king, there was a mistake in the attack, and Cao Jian seized the opportunity again. Taking advantage of the king's unstable foothold, he still shot a 3-pointer from outside the third line and scored the ball.

Cao Jian scored 13 points in a row. He scored six points in quick succession, extending his lead to 19 points at one point, and the first quarter began.

He almost single-handedly took all the points on the Cavaliers' side.

Seeing Cao Jian so violent, the king changed his formation again, and the number of people who assisted Cao Jian in defense also reached 3.

They all stepped on the three-point line and went to fly Cao Jian's three-point shot. didn't give Cao Jian any 3-point shooting opportunities, and even Webb on the inside defended it.

In order to defend Cao Jianguo, King Jianguo's side was also open.

"Ho ho ho, three people cover the defense. The King's entire crew was on the defensive, and this time he had nothing to hide. I don't think he had any tricks up his sleeve this time. Although, he alone took all the opening points of the Cavaliers, and the score also came to 19 points. But. I don't think he has a way to break down the Kings defense. ”

The Kings' four-man wrap-and-go defense was formed, and although Barkley was slapped in the face by Cao Jian countless times in the front, he still firmly believed in what he thought.

Seeing such a defensive formation against Cao Jian, the king's fans also shouted loudly, such an ironclad formation, I think Cao Jian has nothing to hide.

Even some fans still started to discuss. "I'll see where he can run this time."

"You can contain him."

"Absolutely."

Off the bench, Kings coach Adelman holds a tactical board. He watched the game fixedly and didn't speak.

However, if he looks closely, he will find that Adelman's hand holding the tactical board is trembling, the king uses such a defensive tactic to deal with Cao Jian, this is also the strongest defensive method that Adelman can come up with, if this method is not successful, he really can't do it.

This battle, the Kings must also win, they have to continue to chase the St. Anthony Spurs in front of them, squeezed into the fourth place in the Western Conference, this battle is the weakest in the next few games, if this game can't be won, then how to win the next game?

So, this battle must be won.

Knights ball possession.

After half the court of possession of the ball, he glanced at the white eyes and found that the king's defensive formation had changed like this, the corners of Cao Jian's mouth raised a high arc again, and muttered, "In order to deal with a rookie like me, the king is really generous." ”

At the same time, Cao Jian also knew that the king put on this formation to completely lock himself up.

If, as usual, Cao Jian sees this defensive formation the most, they cover themselves, which means that they can create opportunities for their teammates, but now it is different.

Teammates don't attack at all, they pass the ball by themselves, there's no point, you can only come by yourself.

And the king's impregnable defense is also the line of defense that Cao Jian wants to pierce.

Cao Jian came over with the ball and met Mike. Bibby, who looks like the left, is actually the right, has insight into the king's defense, of course he will not sit still, this time Cao Jian did not choose a three-point shot, but went straight to the king's inside penalty area.

The butterfly piercing flower skill was sacrificed again, killing the king's inside line, rising from the ground, and directly hitting a low hand layup.

The ball scored, Cao Jian also gained his own 21 points, and his 21 points were all the points on the Cavaliers' side.

On the king's side, the offense also improved somewhat, but because they couldn't stop Cao Jian, they couldn't get closer to the score.

The Kings fans who were still making a fuss at the scene just now quieted down again, obviously, they were also shocked by Cao Jian's terrifying scoring ability.

What's going on?

Cao Jian alone arranged all the Cavaliers to score in the first nine minutes of the first quarter.

Except for Cao Jian, the rest of the king didn't get a point, which is a Shenma situation.

It's just against the sky.

But even so, Cao Jian's performance like this, Barkley was the first to stand up and criticize, saying, "I want to admit it, but I have to admit that his scoring ability is very good, comparable to the Jazz." However, I have to say that he can't get a ball like this, not by himself. He played too alone. ”

Barkley is really Cao Jianhei, and he can always find a reason to go to Cao Jian.

However, no matter how Barkley goes to the black Cao Jian, the most important point is that the Cavaliers are still in the lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the score between the two sides was also fixed at 24-31.

The Cavaliers have a seven-point lead.

Of the 31 points the Cavaliers, 24 were scored. It was Cao Jian's gain, and he alone almost arranged the Knights' four-fifths score in the first quarter, which shows his strength.

Second quarter of the game. Taking advantage of the game to enter the rotation, the Cavaliers bench was not strong, and the Kings also secretly tied the score, at this time, the second quarter of the game was only a little more than a minute away.

Seeing this situation, Cao Jian also had to go into battle again.

As soon as it came up, it was a direct three-point shot. Even in the face of a three-person wrap-up defense, Cao Jian still found the shooting space to shoot directly with a three-point shot. The ball goes in.

Under the leadership of Cao Jian, the Cavaliers also regained the lead, and Cao Jian's personal score also came to 27 points.

After coming in for a three-pointer, he took advantage of the king's offense and didn't score. Cavaliers rebound. Cao Jian held the ball alone, and rushed straight to the king's penalty area with his thin body, and encountered the king's substitute hug and fell to the ground directly, but before Cao Jian fell to the ground, he projected the ball steadily, and the ball went in, in addition. He was also given the opportunity to add a penalty.

Cao Jian was unstoppable.

The competition also became Cao Jian's personal performance show, to be exact. The game between the Cavaliers and the Kings also became Cao Jian's one person to fight against the entire Kings team.

Under the leadership of Cao Jian, the Cavaliers once again established an eight-point lead.

Adelman couldn't stand it, in order to win, he couldn't care about anything else, for Cao Jian's defense, he even adopted a four-man defensive tactic.

Four-man defensive tactics, this is a tactic that can only be used against players at the level of Jordan and Kobe, this time the Kings played against the Cavaliers, in order to contain Cao Jian, they also let go.

Defend Cao Jian at all costs.

Barkley also commented, "The four-man defense was just preparing, and this time he is finished." ”

Kenny. Smith couldn't stand it this time, "Sizz, haven't you been slapped in the face enough?" ”

Sure enough, like Kenny. As Smith said, Barkley was slapped in the face again, and even if the king sent four people to defend, Cao Jian, who blessed the skill of [Time of Rule], was unstoppable, if God helped.

Four people, even if all the kings are above, it doesn't help.

In the second half of the second quarter of the game, on the Cavaliers' side, Cao Jian was still playing alone.

Facing the king's side, no one encircled and suppressed, Cao Jian either stopped the three-point shot and shot, or smashed the Huanglong and went straight to the Knight's inside penalty area, Cao Jian's breakthrough and shooting were combined, which also made the king's side unguardable, I don't know whether to defend Cao Jian's three-point shot, or mainly defend Cao Jian's breakthrough.

However, whether it is a three-point shot or a two-point shot, the king has nothing to do with Cao Jian.

Therefore, in the first quarter of the game, after Cao Jian slashed 24 points, in the second quarter of the game, Cao Jian was even more heroic, he also scored 18 points, and in the entire second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers scored only 25 points.

At the end of the half, Cao Jian also scored 42 points in the half, and the shooting rate was surprisingly high.

It was also because of Cao Jian's outstanding performance that the Cavaliers were able to take the lead again at the end of the half.

At the end of the half, the score of both sides was also fixed at 56-48.

The Cavaliers lead by 8 points.

He scored only 48 points at halftime, which was also far lower than the King's halftime score.

The reason why the king is like this is also inseparable from Cao Jian's performance.

On the basketball court, offense and defense are always relative.

If you want to attack, you have to sacrifice defense to a certain extent;

Correspondingly, if you want to defend, you must sacrifice offense to a certain extent.

Because, on the defensive end, especially for Cao Jian, it takes too much energy, so the Kings' offense is not so smooth, and they can't get up and off intermittently, which also causes them to fall behind in points after halftime, and the score is far below their average level.

All this is also completely thanks to Cao Jian.

The eight-point lead at halftime was the first time the Cavaliers had led in five games after a 22-game winning streak, which was also extremely rare for the Cavaliers.

Therefore, the knights' locker room, which has been extremely silent today, also has a trace of anger.

Everyone talked a little more.

Of course, everyone's topics revolve around Cao Jian and the number one contributor to the Cavaliers' halftime lead.

First was Eric, who put his arm around Cao Jian's shoulders and praised Cao Jian, "Cao." It's incredible, it's incredible. You made the arena quiet. ”

"How the hell did you do that?"

"It's amazing."

"It's unbelievable."

The players in the locker room also echoed the words.

Though. Cao Jian occupied a large number of opportunities for the team to make a lot of shots in the first half of the game, but none of these people were unconvinced.

That's the charm of strength.

When your strength is above everyone, people are not jealous of you, but a kind of admiration and admiration.

It's like. An ordinary white-collar worker looks like Li Ka-shing.

Of course, if you are still at the same level as ordinary white-collar workers, then you will be endlessly jealous and hateful.

Cao Jian has no such concerns.

He doesn't need to worry either.

He felt like it was on fire. Who does he not hit?

When Paul. Silas returned to the locker room, and when talking about the tactics of the second half of the game, he also once again determined the tactical system with Cao Jian as the core of the attack.

However, this method was rejected by Cao Jian.

He didn't think he should be left alone.

Heard. Cao Jian said. Paul. Silas was also extremely surprised, and he didn't know what Cao Jian thought.

Unlimited firing rights, this is every player, something that has been dreamed of for a long time, is a manifestation and proof of strength, but fan, is a basketball player who has a pursuit on the basketball court, who does not desire this thing.

But. Cao Jian directly vetoed it.

He also really wanted to hear Cao Jian's opinion.

It seems that Paul was also found. What Silas was thinking, he explained: "I was crazy in the first half. Then in the second half, they're going to be more thorough with me and I think that's our chance.

Seeing that his teammates didn't speak, Cao Jian also continued: "In the second half of the game, I will play like this at the beginning to attract their attention again and create opportunities for you." ”

This plan, in fact, had been thought out before Cao Jianyi opened, but it didn't work out to Paul. Silas said it was just a matter of making it himself.

In the first half, they played by themselves, attracting the attention of the Kings' defense and consuming them, and in the second half, they were mainly passing, allowing teammates to tear them apart.

At half-time, it worked.

The king was also led by Cao Jian's nose, and the Cavaliers also took the lead in the score, so in the second half of the game, they all attacked and let their teammates tear the king apart.

In this battle, victory or not is extremely important for the knights, but for the knights, for Cao Jian, the most important thing is to let his teammates find the rhythm of the attack, which is the most important thing.

can't find the rhythm of winning, can't help the Cavaliers teammates regain their confidence, relying on Cao Jian alone.

Cao Jian can sustain one game, but what about the rest of the regular season?

What about the playoffs?

Again, basketball is not just a one-person sport.

Heard Cao Jian's plan, Paul. Silas looked at Cao Jian's eyes full of appreciation, and he admired Cao Jian more and more.

In the past, he also knew that Cao Jian was very good, especially in scoring, organization and key moments, he performed extremely well, which made him extremely satisfied, and even exceeded his expectations.

Before this, he thought that this was all Cao Jian was all about.

However, he only now discovered that Cao Jian is far from being so simple, and his understanding of the game, rhythm control, staffing and other abilities are far superior to others.

Now Cao Jian is in Paul. Silas looked like a bottomless pit, and he thought it was coming to an end, but the further he went, the more unfathomable it became.

Call~

While sighing, Paul. Silas was also relieved, thinking: Fortunately, such a player also appeared in his camp, if not, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

At the same time, there was also a hint of luck that he gave Cao Jian a chance when he was on trial.

Now he is secretly happy for that decision.

……

The 15-minute halftime break was over quickly.

The Cavaliers and Kings battled, and the second half of the game officially kicked off.

Trailing by eight points at halftime also made the Kings feel dangerous, and they started the second half with full energy to play.

Especially on the defensive end, especially on the defensive side against Cao Jian, they are also people who can't wait for all. They all rushed towards Cao Jian, blocking Cao Jian and besieging Cao Jian. Block Cao Jian alive.

Don't let him score a point.

The king's defensive position is scary enough.

Barkley also commented, "The king was so defensive that the knights had no choice but to surrender." ”

Barkley had just finished saying this, and Cao Jianma fought back.

In the face of the king's three-person encirclement, Cao Jian was also outside the three-point line, and hit a three-point shot that was impossible to hit again.

Cao Jian's ball. It was also the King fans whose morale had reached its peak just now that it dropped to zero in an instant.

The Cavaliers also led by 11 points.

Cao Jian is still so unstoppable. The king's side is also more thorough and resolute in this regard.

This is exactly what Cao Jian is most eager to see.

Facing the king's bag defense, Cao Jian decisively divided the ball. This time it was James who benefited. James, who was suppressed for the entire first half, also completely rose up this time, held the ball, went straight to the King's inside penalty area, and pulled it up directly, which was a tomahawk-style slam dunk.

The home court of the Kings, who had no morale, was instantly quiet after such a domineering dunk from James.

Opposite. On the Knights' side, morale is at its peak.

Taking advantage of the strong morale on the knight's side, Cao Jian was also furious again.

10 minutes and 23 seconds in the third quarter. Cao Jian encountered the bag again, broke through, attracted the attention of almost all the players of the Kings team, and suddenly, the basketball in his hand was flicked, and the basketball disappeared, as if the basketball was magical, and the basketball disappeared directly.

And in the next moment, the basketball appeared directly in the hands of Eric, who had been lurking on the three-point foot for a long time, and this time Eric was unguarded, which was still his best shooting point.

Eric still had some magic obstacles in his heart, receiving the ball, even if it was empty, he still seemed a little hesitant and didn't make a move, at this time, Cao Jian roared, "Damn!" Shoot the basketball. Don't hesitate. ”

With Cao Jian's encouragement, Eric also let it go, pulled it up directly, and shot a three-point shot.

The ball was shot, but, unfortunately, Eric's shot was still wide this time.

Fortunately, the basketball was grabbed by Boozer under the basket, and the basketball returned to Cao Jian's hands, and Cao Jian controlled the rhythm with the ball.

still chooses to break through, because the knight has no basket on the outside, so the king is more thorough with Cao Jian's bag, directly blocking it, and not giving Cao Jian a chance.

The king thought he had succeeded.

However, the corners of Cao Jian's mouth raised his trademark arc again, the basketball in his hand disappeared again, and the basketball appeared in Eric's hand again.

Just now, he didn't score the first shot, and Eric also regretted his intestines.

He also never thought he would get a second shot.

However, Cao Jian gave him a second time, trust, trust, and Eric also felt something called trust.

The second shot, more resolute than the first, without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, there is no shortage of Eric's shooting posture and the like, but it just lacks a little confidence.

Cao Jian's unconditional trust also gave him this self-confidence.

Eric's body rose into the air, his wrist pressed lightly, the basketball rolled out from the tip of Eric's index finger, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, the basketball swirled and slid towards the basket, and finally, smashed into the basket, a crisp sound of "shabu" sounded, the ball entered, the basketball fell steadily into the basket, and the basketball directly stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

This shot also heralded the official return of the Cavaliers' three-point shooter Eric.

Eric's eyes were full of clarity, and there was no more cloudiness in his eyes.

James soared, Eric opened, and the Kings were not as unscrupulous as before for the Cavaliers' interior packing, and they also had to allocate troops to defend these two points.

And the king assigned troops, so the inner line became less crowded, James and Cao Jian's two bayonets, were not idle, James broke through, Cao Jian broke through, which also made the king unguardable, and the king was a little unable to parry.

The score is also gradually being pulled apart.

From the previous 11 points, 13 points, 15 points, 17 points, 20 points, the Kings had to ask for another timeout.

The Kings' timeout didn't work so well, although, on the offensive end, the Kings benefited from the Princeton system, the offense was extremely fluid, and the shooting was also available, but the Cavaliers under the leadership of Cao Jian were too violent.

On the Cavaliers' side, not only Cao Jian's scoring ability is strong, but others also have how to shoot.

This made it difficult for the king to parry.

Coupled with the previous score behind, the king faintly showed signs of collapse in the second half of the third quarter of the game, and was already 24 points behind, and the king did not give up, and at this time, Cao Jian stepped forward again.

Three three-pointers, three-pointers.

The point difference has expanded to more than 30 points again, which also makes it impossible for the king to chase the points.

The Kings fans at the scene also began to leave the court one after another, and the Kings saw that there was no hope of winning, so they also replaced them.

The long-dormant Cavaliers bench rarely played a tailwind, and when he was replaced, he also rose up quickly.

In the end, in garbage time in the fourth quarter, it was also a tie with the Cavaliers, so on the home court of the Kings, the Cavaliers finally won the game by 31 points.
