Chapter 109 The Last Battle, Battle Boston I

Cao Jian's three-point shot also officially kicked off the Cavaliers' counterattack.

Grizzly Paul. Gasol didn't attack inside, the Cavaliers, or Cao Jian's three-point line outside the gun, the basketball rolled out from Cao Jian's index fingertips, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally, with a "shabu" sound, the basketball responded to the net.

The Cavaliers took a three-point lead.

The Grizzlies still adhere to the inside strategy, low-post Gasol singled Boozer, Boozer Ma was very good, Gasol was unable to carry Boozer, however, this was difficult Gasol, turned around under the basket, hooked his hand to shoot, but unfortunately it was low, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked, this time the Grizzlies also consciously defended Cao Jian's three-point shot, Cao Jian did not have a three-point opportunity, but this was difficult for Cao Jian, breaking through, looking for opportunities, and the Grizzlies did not hesitate to wrap it up and defend.

A bag of clips, the Cavaliers were empty on the periphery, and they also appeared immediately, and the ball was given to Eric, and Eric made a three-point shot, and the ball went in.

Eric's thousands of push-ups that he lost to Cao Jian during this period of time were not in vain, and at this time, they also played a role.

"Shabu", Eric is still there, this guy is also heading in the direction of the three-point shooter, heading out.

The Cavaliers also have a score difference of 6 points again.

On the Grizzlies' side, the scene can't be opened for a long time, this is Jerry. The Grizzlies mentioned by West and Cao Jian lack the disadvantages of superstars, which is also the biggest drawback of the Grizzlies.

No, it should be said that is. The league has all the ills of teams like the Grizzlies roster.

No one stepped up at critical moments, and that's something the team has to take seriously.

The difference came to 6 points. On the Grizzlies' side, they still couldn't find a solution to the problem, and they still handed the ball to Paul on the inside. Gasol, although Gasol is the leader of the Grizzlies, however, he is not suitable for the role, and later experience has proved this. Indeed it is.

Gasol still didn't beat Boozer with his back to the basket, no wonder others said it was soft, and he was really soft enough for these two balls. I carried it a few times, but it still didn't work, and when I turned around, the rhythm was gone. The shot was still a little shorter. No, knight chances.

The Cavaliers are still Cao Jian, taking advantage of the fact that the Grizzlies are not stable, Cao Jian is also about to hit one, and he suddenly throws a cold arrow outside the three-point line, shoots outside the three-point line, and the ball goes in.

At one point, the difference came to 9 points, and the Grizzlies were about to be beaten. The Grizzlies asked for a timeout again.

With this timeout, they made adjustments on both the offensive and defensive ends. In response to Cao Jian's point, they also replaced Battier to defend, mainly to mark Cao Jian's three points.

It's just an ordinary regular season, and Cao Jian got such a "courtesy" from the Grizzlies, which shows that the Grizzlies attach great importance to it, but is it really good for Grizzlies to be like this?

Battier's speed can't keep up with Cao Jian, and it is certain that he is broken, and the Grizzlies are also very aware of this, but now they can't find any way to solve the problem except for this method.

I have to say that the Grizzlies' defensive formation is full of holes, but the Grizzlies have indeed been affected.

did not give Cao Jian a three-point shot, and Cao Jian was also defended by Battier to reduce the three-point shooting rate to a low of only 29% this season, which is also the first time Cao Jian has suffered such defense in his career.

The reason why Battier's defense is so successful is inevitably related to his height and long arms and defensive experience, although Battier's speed cannot keep up with Cao Jian, but it is enough to defend Cao Jian's three points.

Cao Jian was so oppressed by Battier, he could only enter the breakthrough.

Breakthrough, Cao Jian could have passed the ball, but this time the Grizzlies did not choose to wrap Cao Jian, they also let Cao Jian break through, whatever you want, if you can't break through, count us in. Grizzlies have such an attitude.

But it is such an attitude, which also highlights the problem of Cao Jian's breakthrough.

Cao Jian's vision is good, and he can pass the ball, but let him impact the basket, this problem comes, Cao Jian has no skills to be around, and his physical fitness, that's all, you just let him impact the basket, this is a big deal.

After Cao Jian's side broke through, he shot, no, no, no, or no.

Cao Jian did not attack one after another, which also allowed the Grizzlies to seize the opportunity, and the Grizzlies also directly narrowed the score to the last point.

On the knight's side, Cao Jian is in a scoring drought, and the knight's side is also in trouble.

Paul. Silas also quickly asked for a timeout to make adjustments.

Before accepting this task, Cao Jian's most fearful thing was that he was afraid that others would find out that he would not break through, and now Cao Jian's most fearful thing has happened.

If they find that they can't break through, then they will definitely be more thorough in their three-point shooting, and block their passes, whether it is three-point shots or passes, they are all things that Cao Jian is good at, and now that his most powerful weapon is out of order, how can this game be played.

This game is also the last and most important game of this mission, and this game is not to lose in any way, absolutely not to lose.

The game has come to this point, and if you lose, you will resent yourself, which is absolutely not allowed to happen, absolutely not.

Cao Jian's worries are not unreasonable, seeing that this defensive method is practical, they also continue to implement and implement, taking advantage of the timeout, the Grizzlies coach also specially instructed Battier, "Whether we win the game or not, it's up to you Sean." ”

Grizzly Bear No. 31 Sean. Battier also nodded, "Leave this to me." I can do it brilliantly. ”

Sean. Battier also knows very well that this is an opportunity for himself, and he must seize it, and whether he can go further depends on this opportunity.

Sean. Battier's defense is very hard, and his defense of Cao Jian can also be said to be very successful, very successful, because, after he came up, Cao Jian made four three-point shots, none of which hit, such a bizarre thing, this season. It's the first time it's happening.

So, from this point of view, Battier's defense against Cao Jian. It's still very successful.

But, Sean. Battier's success in defending Cao Jian does not mean that the knights will be depressed, although Cao Jian on the knight's side is restricted, but on the knight's side. James was the first to stand up.

James was defended by Posey in this game, and it was really choked, but. After all, James is not an ordinary person, and after adapting to it, he feels that it is nothing, especially when the Cavaliers are in a scoring drought. James still took the initiative to stand up.

Cao Jian's breakthrough failed. However, James is different, breaking through is James' housekeeping skill, and the Grizzlies' space is so open, just to satisfy the appetite of the Cavaliers, James runs.

The knight also moves with it, fast-paced, which is also the most classic way of playing for knights.

Knight's side is fast. The rhythm of the grizzly bear was also disrupted all of a sudden.

The grizzly bear wants to be fast, but can't be fast. However, it is slow, it can't be slow, this is also stumped by the Grizzlies, and by the time the Grizzlies adjust, the Cavaliers have stretched the difference to more than 10 points, and this difference is also a little difficult to chase.

The Grizzlies had to change their strategy and shrink the interior, which also gave the Cavaliers a chance to go outside, and Eric hit a three-pointer.

On the Grizzlies side, although Battier is like kraft candy for Cao Jian's defense, this does not mean that Battier can completely contain Cao Jian, Cao Jian used the Cavaliers' inner line Boozer and Da Z's human wall, but also came out from the inside, received the ball, shot directly, and scored three-point shots, and his goal also made the Cavaliers expand the score difference to more than 15 points in the third quarter of the game.

In the fourth quarter of the game, although the Grizzlies had a counterattack momentum, they were extinguished by Cao Jian and James standing up.

Until there were more than three minutes left in the game, and the Cavaliers still had 15 points to lead, the Grizzlies players also saw that there was no hope of winning and gave up.

The Grizzlies gave up, and in the end, the Cavaliers won the game again on the road, improving their road winning streak to five games, and the winning streak also reached nine.

The Cavaliers won the game, but Cao Jian was not happy at all, of course, not because of this game against the Grizzlies, he was not the absolute protagonist, but because his weaknesses were discovered.

Cao Jian also felt a strong crisis and was coming towards him.

Cao Jian's feeling is also very accurate, really accurate.

After the Grizzlies matchup, the Cavaliers have one last game left before the All-Star break, and only one game is left against the Boston Celtics.

This is not a simple game, this game is related to the ownership of the eighth ranking in the Eastern Region, and at the same time, it is related to whether Cao Jian's task can be completed.

Cheng, the Cavaliers ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference before the All-Star break, and Cao Jian himself can learn new skills and wear flowers with butterflies.

No, the knight is still ninth in the Eastern Region, the mission is not successful, and there is no system reward.

Also, experience points will be deducted.

didn't get the system reward, this is easy to say, but let Cao Jian compensate tens of millions of experience points, where can Cao Jian find such experience points, the only way is to help the system do the task for free.

Until he retires, that's how he becomes.

This is not something Cao Jian wants to see.

Cao Jian felt that the crisis was coming towards him, and the mission was carried out at the most critical moment, which was an extremely important one, but the most important thing was that Cao Jian's own shortcomings were exposed.

That's a big problem.

As the reputation he has made in the alliance grows bigger and bigger, the number of people who pay attention to him will gradually increase, and the problem will definitely be expanded indefinitely.

Before this problem was exposed, Cao Jian might have felt that it didn't matter if he learned the butterfly flower wearing skill or not, but now he is not so determined, this skill must be learned, and it must be learned.

If you have suffered a few more times and what type of defense you have like Battier, can you still be so comfortable on the court?

No way, it's absolutely impossible.

Paul. Will Silas and his teammates still think so highly of themselves?

It can't be, absolutely not.

Now James they are optimistic about themselves, Paul. Silas also arranges tactics for himself, which is entirely because his three-point shot is good enough, if he doesn't have this basis, then why can he afford it?

Although, in this game, in the third quarter, he was defended by Battier, after the game, Paul. Silas didn't say anything, on the contrary, he also spoke for Cao Jian, but Cao Jian clearly knew that Paul . Silas also believes that his hand is cold, but only temporarily, and his hand will come back.

In one game, people may think that it is an accident, but what about multiple games?

Thinking of this, Cao Jian didn't dare to think about it.

Now his status in the Cavaliers, his status in the league, is that he finally won one game at a time, one goal, one goal, fell again and again, stood up once, and fought hard to get it, this rare achievement, Cao Jian does not want to lose, does not want to lose, and must not lose, so, in the next game, against the Boston Celtics to win, to win, not to win, to win.

All in all, you can't lose.

This is a battle that will determine his future.

……

Rivers as a player, as a playmaker, has occasional highlights in his career, however, the highlights are not particularly obvious, and the moment he can be remembered by fans is probably when he was selected as an All-Star in 1988, and his eloquence is remembered.

However, as a coach, Rivers is very talented, and in his first year of coaching, he won an award.

After winning the award, Rivers continued to work hard, and over the next three years, he led the Orlando Magic to a win rate of over 50% and reached the playoffs.

I thought that the Magic would make a big difference in the playoffs, but alas, unfortunately, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and the Orlando Magic's famous "glass legs" Hill has been plagued by injuries and has not been able to help him achieve better results.

And at the start of the season, Rivers ended his first job as a head coach in the NBA after a poor start of 1-10 and a poor start.

The Magic's final defeat was not due to Rivers, even Jean Popovich or Zen master Phil. Jackson came to coach the Magic, and the Magic's results did not necessarily increase.

It is difficult for a good woman to be without the urging of rice.

Needless to say, Rivers' coaching ability went without saying, and after being fired again, Boston immediately threw out an olive branch, and he also took office immediately in order to repay Boston's kindness.

Go coaching.

Since Rivers took over and the Celtics, although the results did not improve greatly at the beginning, Boston has been changing day by day, and before the All-Star break, Boston has been consolidating the eighth position in the Eastern Conference is the best proof.

And the reason why Boston has achieved such results is inseparable from Rivers, to be precise, it is inseparable from Rivers's countless days and nights, busy late into the night, watching videos, and formulating tactics.

No, the night before the Cavaliers game, Rivers was busy again late at night, so late, Rivers was just doing one thing, watching the video, to be exact, watching the Cavaliers vs. Grizzlies game, to be exact, the third quarter of the Cavaliers vs. Grizzlies game.

He watched it repeatedly, and he also made notes, so meticulous that if it didn't work, it would really be God's eyes. (To be continued......)
