Chapter 310: The Pacers counterattack after the victory
In the final moments of the game, the Pacers' side couldn't turn over either.
In the end, on the home court of the Pacers, the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers won, and the final score of the two sides was fixed at 88-80.
In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers won the game by 8 points at the Pacers' home court, which also surprised some so-called basketball experts, and at the same time, it also made countless bettors who were pessimistic about the Cavaliers accompany the money, and this time the bookmaker made a lot of money because no one thought that the Cavaliers would upset the Pacers at home.
No one was optimistic before the game that the Cavaliers would win, however, the Cavaliers did.
The Cavaliers won this game, which was naturally a slap in the face to those who were not optimistic that the Cavaliers could win.
"Smack!!
The face was directly swollen.
"Hahaha, Sir Buckley, do you have anything else to say now?" After the game, Kenny didn't forget to tease Barkley.
Listening to Kenny say this, if it was a normal time, Barkley would have fought back a long time ago, but at this time, he wanted to fight back, but he couldn't talk about it. He didn't know what he was supposed to say. I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
He also couldn't understand how the Pacers could lose this battle, thinking about the Pacers' side of the right time and place.
The Cavaliers had just finished the Heat, and the Pacers had already swept the Celtics.
The location is advantageous, and this is the home court of the Pacers.
Ren, the Pacers' five starters lost to Cao Jian. The substitutions were even more victorious.
However, the Pacers' side also lost Cao Jian, which eventually led to their overall loss.
The Pacers said that they lost this game, and naturally they lost to Cao Jian.
The Pacers' defense of Cao Jian. Very failed, extremely unsuccessful, whether it was Tinsley, or Artest, or even the whole team of the Pacers came up, but the defensive role of Cao Jian was still minimal, or Cao Jian was simply an inexplicable existence.
Cao Jian played almost the whole game in this game. In the nearly forty minutes he played, Cao Jian scored a total of 36 points and 20 assists, if calculated as 2 points per assist. Then the 76 points scored by the knights have an inevitable relationship with Cao Jian.
If this is the analysis, then the Pacers' loss to the Cavaliers is also an extremely important point to Cao Jian's loss.
Cao Jian was unstoppable and let the Pacers lose.
After the game, the media also asked Cao Jian if he expected that he would get 36 points and 20 assists in the game?
"I didn't expect that. Did I have 36 points and 20 assists? "It's always exciting to win. Cao Jian is the same. This is especially true when no one else is optimistic.
"So how did it feel after you guys won the Pacers at home?"
The journalist asked.
"I'm excited. I'm sure you can tell. However, I know that this victory is only temporary, and the series has only just begun. ”
Although winning the game is also a phenomenon in the game, however, Cao Jian did not have much excitement, on the contrary. Still extremely modest.
It is the paper that wins first, and the money that wins later.
Kill the Pacers in the first game. Waiting for the Cavaliers in front of them is a stronger, stronger Pacer than ever, and now is not a happy moment
Because the male lion has been awakened.
Just when the Cavaliers fans were excited and cheering for the Cavaliers' victory, Cao Jian and his Cavaliers were also preparing for the game.
Although there is no curfew on the Cavaliers' side, they dare not take the game seriously when they are fighting for their own future.
This is the second round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, this is a fateful moment, if you play well in the game, then the chances of being favored will be greatly increased, and when it comes to future transfers, this is also a bright spot in your career.
This is an opportunity not to be missed.
The little prince of the nightclub of the Cavaliers team in the past has obediently stayed in the hotel, waiting for tomorrow's training.
And James was still watching the video even in the middle of the night, so it is conceivable that the battle between the Cavaliers and the Pacers also stimulated him.
To say that James is not stressed is absolutely abnormal.
Cao Jian's performance is getting better and better, and before the start of the season, James felt that Cao Jian's level was too much worse than his own.
And yet it's in Ricky. After Davis left, Cao Jian also frantically jumped up and became the core leader of the knights, and he was just the second-in-command.
This naturally made James unwilling, but, in the face of honor, all this is insignificant.
James is also eager to win, and when his strength cannot guarantee the team to win, then the most important thing is to endure, learn, and continue to learn and improve.
In addition to James, Eric also picked up the lights and fought at night to analyze his shortcomings in the game.
In fact, it is completely up to Cao Jian to win the Cavaliers, if it weren't for the defense of James and others, Cao Jian would naturally not be able to lead the Cavaliers to win.
It should be said that Cao Jian just said that he was the pearl of the moment on the crown.
……
Cao Jian's expectations were not bad.
The Cavaliers defeated the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Cavaliers who await the future will not be sunny days, but thunderstorms.
On the night of the Pacers' loss, after all the Pacers players were interviewed by the media, the Pacers owner immediately talked to Carlisle and said that if you don't do it well, you will quit.
Stir-fry directly.
And after Carlisle was trained, Carlisle also trained all the players of the Pacers, and it was already 12 o'clock in the night after taking a shower after the game, however, Carlisle trained directly until 1 o'clock in the morning.
Being able to make Carlisle so angry shows how much he cares about the Pacers' upset loss to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Carlisle's finish training doesn't mean that he just finishes training, on the contrary. After he trained the Pacers, it was just the beginning.
After the training, Carlisle was also under direct curfew. In the past, the Pacers did not have a curfew at night, but after the Pacers lost, Carlisle also changed his previous practice and went directly to the curfew, and told the players to show up at the stadium for training at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and be one second late. And so on.
Sure enough, on the second day, Carlisle, who looked like he hadn't slept all night with red eyes, showed up at the arena early. There was still half an hour left before the time he had set.
And the Pacers, who also realized the seriousness of their problem, also came to the training camp early, and none of them were late.
Seeing that he hadn't caught anyone, Carlisle was still depressed.
Everyone was angry and didn't try to provoke Carlisle, but. They didn't mess with Carlisle, not that Carlisle didn't mess with them.
Carlisle first carried Tinsley to the corner of the field. Tinsley was like a schoolboy in training, but he only promised.
Watching Tinsley being trained, the others were also training extremely hard.
And after Tinsley was trained, Artest also took the initiative to plead guilty. The reason for his guilt was naturally because he couldn't prevent Cao Jian in the game, which led to Cao Jian's 36 points and 20 assists.
Artest, who has a strong sense of responsibility, also took the initiative to take all the responsibility for the loss on his head, "I'm sorry, sir, it's all because of me that caused the team to lose." Please sir, punish me. ”
Carlisle is also extremely satisfied with Artest's attitude, although people from the outside world think that Artest is short-tempered and difficult to get along with. However, Carlisle knew that Artey was a very responsible person.
The defense of Cao Jian is naturally not all Atai's fault.
Neither Atay can defend anyone, and the Pacers can't necessarily do better than Atay.
Carlisle knows this very well, so he still has to think long-term about Cao Jian's defense at this point.
The training match lasted more than 3 hours, the door of the training camp opened, and the reporters who had been waiting outside the training camp for a long time also flocked to the training camp.
When asked why the Pacers lost.
Carlisle replied directly: "It's my fault, I didn't let the players understand how urgent the matter was, and let the opponent get enough shots......"
In Carlisle's words, he naturally refers to Cao Jian.
Despite Carlisle's words, his players defended him, with Miller saying: "It's my problem, I can't get the ball in the middle of the moment, and if I can get the ball on the ball, then it's us who wins." ”
In fact, Miller's performance at critical moments is good enough.
If Miller had won this game, no one would have forgotten his two fouls at key moments in the fourth quarter.
But there are no ifs.
Cao Jian's three three-pointers at the last moment also directly made the game come to naught.
"No, no, no, it's not Reggie's problem, it's my problem, and if I can stop LeBron from breaking through in the middle of the game, then the win will be ours."
Xiao Ao also said.
Actually, Xiao Ao is also good enough.
If it weren't for his two consecutive blocks in the final minute of the game, the Pacers wouldn't have lost by just eight points.
Towards the end of the interview, Carlisle also came up with a classic phrase: "If James. Naismith (the inventor of basketball) knew that we had to turn over in the grave if we played like this. So, we have to win the game. ”
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers lost in the first game, before the start of the second game, the Pacers' hearts fluctuated, and winning or losing a game can affect the players' self-confidence, in their own home court, in front of their parents and fellow villagers, such a humiliating loss, which frustrated their self-confidence, O'Neal Jr. stood up to cheer everyone up: "If you're not ready to win, then don't go out." ”
Naturally, there will be no one who does not go out.
And in the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the more the Pacers have their backs in this game, they are not the Cavaliers can tolerate losing two games in a row at home.
They are the top regular season record, the first in the Eastern Conference, the biggest favorites to win the championship this year, and this is on their home court, and the loss in Game 1 is enough for the Pacers.
In this battle, the Pacers have no way back.
The team and the fans were of one mind, and the fans held up various slogans, the owners, directors, major shareholders and team managers on the Pacers' side
They all came to the scene to watch the game and cheer for the Pacers.
In the end, the Pacers were also unable to create another miracle.
In the end, at the home court of the Pacers, the Cavaliers still lost by a huge 20-point margin.
Although the Cavaliers lost, Cao Jian performed extremely well in this game.
Cao Jian continued the excellent hand ~ feeling in the last game, scoring 43 points, 20 assists and 2 steals, he couldn't have done better, however, the Cavaliers still lost this game.
The reason for the loss is also very simple, just like the whole team on the Pacers' side can't defend Cao Jian, and the Cavaliers can't defend the whole team on the Pacers' side, which is also the most important reason why the Cavaliers lost.
The pacers had a good rhythm control in this game, and although they couldn't really freeze Cao Jian, however, the pacers did a good job of freezing the others.
In tonight's game, the Cavaliers will also have double digits for Cao Jian and James.
In addition to Cao Jian's 43 points, James' two-digit number is only 18 points, which is less than his total points in the season.
Others, like Eric and others, didn't score more than 10.
The scores of these few of them are all from Cao Jian's assists, and there are no other scores at all, why did the Cavaliers lose, they lost, mainly because the Pacers limited everyone except Cao Jian, Cao Jian had no helper, and the Cavaliers naturally lost.
Although the Cavaliers did not win the second game on the Pacers' home court, it was already very good for the Cavaliers, stealing a game of victory on the Pacers' home court, which means that the Cavaliers seized the home court advantage in the game against the Pacers.
The question now is whether the Cavaliers can hold on to their hard-earned home-court advantage.
After losing the second game of the series, Cao Jian was also asked how he felt after losing, "Losing is not the end, no one will win all the time." Just said coldly, Cao Jian also left directly.
Cao Jian left so stylishly, then he would naturally be fined, however, it was none of his business, and the team would help him solve it.
Because of the loss in the second game in the East, the Cavaliers suffered a cold reception from the Pacers, but as soon as the team returned to Cleveland, Cao Jian and others had just walked out of the door of the plane cabin, and thousands of fans were surrounded by the scene, and the fans were also holding various slogans, but most of them were,
"Welcome back!!"
The fans at the scene also gave the Cavaliers fans applause, cheers and shouts, and the sound resounded in the sky.
Although, losing, the Cavaliers fans are still so enthusiastic.
Actually, the Cavaliers are not losing, this time they stole a game win on the Pacers' home court, so the Cavaliers are still winning.
(I continue to ask for a variety of things.) (To be continued......)
