Chapter 235: Battle of New Orleans Huang Feng

Although, with the "Death Three-point" skill, even in an airtight defense, his hit rate will not be lower than 45%, but with the "White Eye" such a buff skill as the support, Cao Jian can be promoted on this basis, why not?

Although Cao Jian has practiced the breakthrough technique "butterfly wears flowers", the three-point shot is the foundation of Cao Jian's full alliance, and Cao Jian categorically cannot be wasted.

Another extremely important point is that Cao Jian's current physical fitness is not extremely strong, with his current physical fitness, to impact the basket, once or twice is nothing, but after many times, problems will definitely appear.

In the alliance, there are a lot of insidious villains, and with it, Cao Jian's momentum is rising sharply, some people are red-eyed, and some people are targeted, this is normal.

In the history of the league, many examples of talented players being abolished and reduced to mortals are not uncommon in the league.

Although there is a system to assist in upgrading, the system will not take care of Cao Jian's injury.

Cao Jian has always considered the biggest problem facing athletes due to injuries, and has been avoiding this risk.

And now, before his body has been upgraded to the strongest state, what is the best way to avoid risks?

Obviously, it is to avoid killing yourself too much and giving others a chance.

Therefore, it is urgent to find the rhythm of the three-point shot, so that his skills can be improved on the existing basis.

In order to regain his rhythm, Cao Jian is also desperate enough. After playing against the Orlando Magic, Cao Jian insisted on shooting 500 three-pointers alone. He hurriedly packed his bags and went back.

Rhythm is such a thing, for many people, once lost, it may be difficult to get it back, but for Cao Jian, things are extremely simple.

Shooting stance. It's fixed, get back to the rhythm, you just need to find the feeling of being able to hit one after another.

Five balls. For Cao Jian, enough is enough.

……

And the results of Cao Jian's training have also been well reflected.

On the third day of the Orlando Magic, the Cavaliers also welcomed a very important challenger at home, the New Orleans Yellow Peaks. Before. It should be called Charlotte Yellow Peak.

Before the 20th century, Charlotte Huang Feng was known in the league as a fish belly team, and the experience was similar to that of the Cleveland Cavaliers before this season.

Their most glorious period was probably in the '92 and '93 seasons.

At that time, Huang Feng was lucky, and they were lucky to win Larry in a row in the draft. Johnson, Alonzo. Mourning's two future stars, combined with the team's shortest player in NBA history, Boggs, who is only 160cm tall, helped the Hornets reach the playoffs in their fifth season in the NBA.

However, the good times did not last long, and the team lacked a boss with enough prestige. Larry. Johnson and Alonzo. Mourning turned against each other in the fight for the position of the team's boss, and the two gradually fell apart.

In the 1995-1996 season. The Hornets had to trade Mourning to the Heat in exchange for Glenn. Rice, and Boggs also missed most of the game that season due to injury, finishing the year with a 41-41 record and missing the playoffs. At the end of the season, the Hornets also put Larry Bush. Johnson moved to New York.

At this point, Charlotte Huangfeng also fell apart, and they also began the road of reconstruction.

After more than a year of ups and downs, finally played in the 97-98 season, Rice, the top scorer in the Huang Feng team, led the Hornets to the Eastern Conference semifinals, although they lost to the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan 1:4, but their victory at the Chicago Union Center Arena made the team proud, but also made the Bulls a false alarm.

However, frequent roster changes ultimately failed to keep the Hornets strong.

However, in the 21st century, the Hornets exceeded their expectations, and in '01 they were just one step away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the 2000-2001 season, Jamal. Mashburn and P.J. Brown are coming to the Hornets as the new core of the team.

Young player Byron. Davis, Eddie. Robinson and Magloyer, along with Hornets veterans Wesley and Campbell, make up the Hornets' lineup.

The pinnacle of Wasp history.

In the 01-02 season, because of the injury of Huang Feng's core Mashburn, the team's second leader, Davis, also quickly rose to the top and became the boss of the team, and Davis was selected for the 2002 Eastern Conference All-Star team with his outstanding performance.

And the Hornets also entered the playoffs again and defeated the Orlando Magic 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs. Davis became the fifth player in NBA history to record back-to-back triple-doubles in the playoffs. This is an achievement that only superstars such as Magic Johnson and Chamberlain can do.

Although, in the playoffs, it was defeated in the end, but people also saw the potential of this Huangfeng team.

Just as the 02-03 season, the Hornets moved out of Charlotte, and in New Orleans they had a fabulous start.

They won their opening game against the Jazz 100-75 and started the season off to a smooth start with an 11-game winning streak at home. Despite the many injuries on the team, they still entered the playoffs as fifth in the East.

However, before the playoffs, it was a loss to the 76ers, and it was at this time that the current Cavaliers coach Paul . Silas was fired, and, coming to the Cavaliers, as the head coach of the Cavaliers.

This season, the Huang Feng team has soared all the way with Davis and Magloyle, the two most dynamic 'duo', firmly holding the seventh position in the Eastern Conference.

Their position is also extremely stable, and they have not fallen out of the seventh place in the Eastern Conference since the beginning of the season, and this was the case until the All-Star break, but in this case, after the Huang Feng All-Star Game, the game against the Pacers and the game against the Lakers were lost.

On the Cavaliers' side, in the games against the Magic and Raptors after the All-Star break, the Cavaliers won all of them without exception. One trades off the other. Huang Feng gave the knight a chance, and the knight also firmly grasped this opportunity, and the knight chased Huang Feng directly. As of the start of the game between Huang Feng and the Knights, the difference between the two sides was only the last 0.5 wins.

The knight has a tendency to explode the Huangfeng chrysanthemum.

The final victory or defeat of Huang Feng against the knights is also related to the final ranking of the knights in the Eastern Region.

Huang Feng lost, so the knight burst chrysanthemum successfully.

Win, then unfortunately, the Cavaliers can only be in the eighth position in the Eastern Conference. Stay honest.

The players on both sides are also very aware of this, in interviews before the game. Davis, the core leader of the Huang Feng team, also threatened, "This is a very crucial game, we can't lose." And we've lost two games in a row. We won't allow three games in a row to lose. ”

And when asked what he thinks of the Cavaliers' current momentum newcomer Cao Jian, Davis also said,

"I've met him at the All-Star Game and he's pretty good, and you're saying he's looking like he's good, but I just don't know how he's going to be going to be with me? I'm just as much looking forward to this as you are. ”

Davis thinks highly of himself. In words, for. Cao Jian still maintained a skeptical attitude, or didn't believe that Cao Jian could be very powerful.

Hornets Davis's speech was also domineering, and on the Cavaliers' side, James, who performed extremely well in the last game, also stood up for the first time in the face of Davis's provocation, saying,

'It's an opportunity for us and I think we can beat anybody.'

Compared with James, Cao Jian's answer was more low-key, "Win or lose, after the game is over, don't you understand?" ”

And when he was asked what he thought of Davis's comments on him, Cao Jian didn't say anything drastic.

"I'm looking forward to it, and I don't think I'm going to let down anyone who supports me."

Cao Jian's words are true, he is really looking forward to this battle.

This battle with Huang Feng is related to the seventh place in the Eastern Region and the knight's record, which is also an extremely important part of Cao Jian's task.

This time against Huang Feng, and Cao Jian was opposite Davis.

Davis was an obstacle to his selection to the All-NBA Third Team, and how well he played in this game will also be an extremely important indicator in the future.

Another point is that before the battle against Huang Feng, Cao Jian also took a side quest, this task, there are two, first, cut 40; Second, win Huang Feng.

Reward: 300,000 XP

Penalty: 3,000,000 experience points

It's a difficult task.

Against Huang Feng, the first item is nothing, Cao Jian has found his rhythm, plus "butterfly wears flowers" and "three outlaws", although the opponent is Davis, who is the number one in the league, Cao Jian is still confident to complete.

The crux of the matter lies in the second item, winning Huang Feng.

Huang Feng is not as imagined, so easy to deal with, it is not without reason that they can stand in the seventh position in the Eastern District.

Except for Davis and Margloyle, the others in Huang Feng's squad are not vegetarians.

For example, David, who is also a shooting guard. Wesley.

David. Wesley, nicknamed "Mickey Mouse", is not a superstar-level player, but he is also a star player.

He has a good basket, and he also has a fast break, just relying on jump shots, layups, and fast breaks, and scoring an average of 15 points per game is as simple as eating and drinking.

Inside barrier PJ Brown, who was once also named the best defensive player in the game Ben. In Wallace's case, Bulls coach Skells also singled out Brown's role, "PJ is the best interior defender on the team. ‘

It can be seen that its defensive ability should not be underestimated.

Coupled with Jamal, who has just returned from injury, and the bench bandit sitting on the Hornets bench, it is not easy for the Cavaliers to win Huang Feng.

With such a comparison of the above lineup, the Cavaliers really don't have any advantages.

The inside line is barely flat, and the outside line is about the same, and on the books, the Hornets still have a big advantage.

Not for anything else, just for Huang Feng's side, there is a bearded Davis who is ranked at least three in the league.

This is an extremely important reason why the outside media was optimistic that Huang Feng could defeat the Cavaliers away from home to win the final victory of the game.

Although there is Cao Jian on the knight's side. Cao Jian also proved his strength in the previous series of competitions.

However, it still cannot be trusted by the outside world. Skin color is a point, physical fitness is also a point, and most importantly, the opponent Cao Jian faced.

Before the All-Star Game, only Payton could show his hand to the point guard opposite Cao Jian.

Payton is known as the Glove and is famous for steals in league history. He is destined to be a player in the Basketball Hall of Fame. However, the media does think that Cao Jian's victory over Cao Jian, who has old arms and legs, is not a big deal, which does not explain the problem.

In the strict sense of the word. Davis is the toughest opponent he's faced so far.

It's no wonder that the outside world would say that.

Davis has been in the league for so many years, and he's made it through countless fights to prove himself.

And Cao Jian, who has just played half a season, has many masters. Didn't come across it. This is also a big reason for the media to question it.

There is another point, and the most fundamental point, Cao Jian vs. Davis, Cao Jian's weight is a huge problem, and Davis's nickname is called Little Fatty.

With Davis' tonnage, he can go toe-to-toe with some of the league's shooting guards, and even small forwards, and that's not something to blow out.

Tonnage is a point.

Also, Davis's speed is not bad. Although, Cao Jian is faster. However, Davis is not slow, so Cao Jian still does not have any advantage, in terms of physical fitness.

Cao Jian has always been one of the most scoring points of the Knights, although the game has not yet started, but, from the analysis of the above, the Cavaliers still have no advantage, which is why the Knights are looked down upon.

Although the Cavaliers had won 12 consecutive games before the game against Huang Feng, the momentum was fierce, but this was not a reason for the Cavaliers to win.

There are many reasons to win, however, it's not this one.

Of course, this is just a pre-game analysis by many media, and the specific situation has to be seen in the game.

……

Time flies.

The battle between the knights and the wasps will also be imminent.

Because, the war of words between the main players of the two sides before the game, as well as the super newcomers James and Cao Jian in the team, and of course, the momentum of the Cavaliers' winning streak, which is also the quick loan center that made last season a deserted game, this season is full of popularity and hot games.

Compared with last year's Cavaliers, the ball market is also picking up rapidly.

Because, the battle between the Hornets and the Cavaliers is also the focus of the battle, so the game is also crowded with spectators, and this game, TNT is also broadcast live in the United States, and the host and guest of the live broadcast of this game are also the ace of this show. Smith and Big Mouth Charles. Buckley.

Speaking of Barkley, I have to mention that in the last game he and Kenny. Smith's bet on things.

Last time, Barkley said that he lost all his underwear, and it was not an exaggeration at all.

Lose every time.

In the end, he fainted in his seat.

I don't know if he pretended to be in the end, or if he really did.

Barkley escaped that time.

But, Kenny. Smith didn't intend to let Barkley go, "Sir Charles, long time no see, are you okay?" ”

"Well, I've always thought I'm doing well."

"That's good."

"Sir, before the game even started, I had a question in mind, and I wanted to ask you. Isn't that possible? ”

"Of course."

What do you think about the issue of "integrity"? ”

"Uh-huh~ This is a very deep question. Integrity, for the country, integrity is a good national image!! For society, integrity is the cornerstone of ensuring harmony and order!! It is a valuable intangible asset for a business. For individuals, honesty is the foundation of winning people's trust and the most fundamental principle of life. This is very important. ”

"Ho, Sir Charles, how can your mind reach such heights?"

"It must be dropped."

"Then you must be a person who pays attention to integrity."

“yes！！！”

"Then the last bet you made, is it still counted?" Just as Barkley was fluttering, Kenny suddenly killed a horse pistol and asked.

"Uh, this, well, this, uh......" Barkley is usually eloquent, but at this time he is speechless.

So, quickly change the subject. "The game is about to start. Let's get back to business. ”

"You don't talk about integrity."

"It's really getting started. The audience won't like us like that. ”

"You don't have credit."

"But ......"

"No credit."

……

In the end, it was Barkley who was defeated, and he didn't have to promise Kenny. Smith. When the game is over, be sure to swallow the notebook.

to be able to give up.

Knowing that he would swallow the notebook later, Barkley was also much more silent.

Kenny, on the other hand, was excited and his eyebrows were about to rise to the sky.

He knew that Barkley would be tricked, so when Barkley agreed, he also deliberately took out the notebook that he had prepared. Put it in front of him.

Barkley wanted to faint again.

Seeing that Barkley was angry with himself, Kenny began to explain seriously,

"It was a close game. This is also a pinnacle matchup, the battle between the seventh in the East and the eighth in the East Division, welcome to watch, everyone I am Kenny. Smith!!! ”

Kenny. Smith made an opening statement. Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood. What was originally a bland opening sentence now seems to be very interesting.

As Kenny said, this game was a close one.

As soon as the game started, it was extremely anxious, and it was like this from the moment of the jump ball.

The big Z jump ball was successful, and the Cavaliers took the lead in launching the first wave of attacks. Cao Jian first hoisted the ball to the big z of the inside line and asked him to go to singles.

Big Z has the advantage of height. Half-hook under the basket, the ball goes in.

Opening 2-0

The Cavaliers took the lead.

Hornets possession.

Unlike the Cavaliers, the Hornets started with their strongest point, Davis.

Davis faced Cao Jian's defense, he chose to play with his back to his back, and he also took a fancy to Cao Jian's tonnage and strength, and used his big ass to open the way.

Wheel power, Cao Jian is really not Davis's opponent, and he bumped all the way. Bump. Suddenly, after turning around, shooting, there was.

Davis also had a very good start today.

The knight has the ball, dribbling the ball past half the court, Cao Jian still didn't play by himself, or handed the ball to the inside big z to let him play, big z still used the height advantage under the basket, turned around after the basket, shot, and the ball was still there.

The Cavaliers took the lead again, and the Hornets possessed the ball, and it was Davis who attacked with the ball.

Davis is still facing Cao Jian's defense, he still uses his strength to force Cao Jian, he has a good hand, and on Cao Jian's head, he will cut another 2 points.

At the beginning of the game, Cao Jian was beaten twice by Davis in succession, which also made Barkley, who had not spoken much since the beginning of the game, find a vent point, and he began to talk endlessly.

"The tonnage and strength are not comparable to Bayern, and this time the Chinese kid is in trouble. I don't think he's doing much defensively. ”

"His body, I don't think Davis will fall apart, it's already good."

Barkley has never shown mercy to Cao Jian, especially because of Cao Jian, he lost to Kenny. Even more so after Smith so many times.

"After this game, the Chinese kid is afraid that his true form will be revealed."

Buckley's mouth still stinks.

Kenny listened to it, feeling very unhappy, and shot back: "Charles, the game has just begun, if you say that, aren't you afraid, Cao, will you be slapped in the face again?" ”

"Am I wrong about that? Do you think he'll have the upper hand against Davis? ”

"Why not?"

"Joke, it's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Compared with Bayern, what advantage does Cao have, he doesn't have any advantage, he will definitely be blown up, you see. ”

And just as the two were chattering, the scores of the knights and Huang Feng were also rising, and in the first three minutes, the score was already 12 draws.

On the Cavaliers' side, Cao Jian faced Davis's face-covering defense and shot a three-point shot, no.

On the offensive end, Davis can use tonnage to play Cao Jian, and on the defensive end, Davis' defense is also very good, and he can barely keep up with Cao Jian by making up for the lack of speed with experience.

In this way, it also led to Cao Jian's first three-point shot in the opening game and did not score.

Cao Jian didn't score, and Barkley commented, "Kenny, do you have anything to say now?" ”

Kenny was silent.

"There's nothing more to say."

Barkley continued.

Barkley was so arrogant, and it didn't take long for Cao Jian to slap him in the face again.

Cao Jian made a shot from the three-point line, no, the Hornets rebounded, and the basketball was handed over to Davis to let Davis solve the problem.

This is the third time Davis has faced Cao Jian for the third time in the opening game, the first two shots, Davis has all of them without exception, this time he is also very experienced against Cao Jian again, and he still has the strength he is best at to single Cao Jian.

Barkley saw that Davis still singled Cao Jian with his pouting ass, and he also came up, "Bayern is going to score again." ”

Not only does he think so, but even Davis, who attacks with the ball, thinks so, and the two attacks just now are successful, which also makes Davis think that he sees Cao Jian clearly, and he also thinks that Cao Jian is nothing more.

With his back against Cao Jian, he also sprayed, "ATM!! ”

And just after his sentence came out, Davis regretted it, Cao Jian behind him was like a ghost, killed, Davis didn't react yet, what the hell was going on, he just felt empty.

The basketball was also slapped away by Cao Jian, and then Cao Jian was seen rushing out from behind him and rushing towards the basketball, leaving him with only a back.
