Chapter 90 Questioning is like a tide
Before the start of the Denver Nuggets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, the court was crowded, with dozens of cameras and more than 100 media outlets, and all eyes were on LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
Of course, this is before the game, and after the game, the media also found more valuable news than this.
On the court, what is the most exciting, some people say that it must be a dunk.
No, that just means you're just a junior fan, and there's nothing more exciting than the gripping kill, especially the one that closes your throat with a sword.
And that's what Cao Jian did.
If you want to say that the hero of this game, the protagonist of this game, the first three quarters, maybe LeBron James, maybe Carmelo Anthony, but in the fourth quarter, in the final stage of the game, there is only one hero and protagonist, then he is Cao Jian.
Cao Jian is a well-deserved protagonist.
Before the game, the footage prepared for the showdown between Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, and the focus of media attention, all revolve around Cao Jian, in the camera, Cao Jian pounced like a hungry wolf, and the dunk was first revealed, and after the smash, the Cavaliers players flew over like a tide, and the footage of high-fives and celebrations was played over and over again on the display screen above the Quick Loan Arena.
The live sound was turned on to the maximum, the fans were completely crazy, overtaking, lore, smashing, Cao Jian once again made the mood of the fans float from the bottom to the clouds, the fans were so excited that they were difficult to calm down, and they were reluctant to fade away for a long time, and they were still lingering in the previous game.
It's bound to be a game to remember.
Because of the uncertainty of Cao Jian, originally, the media decided to interview either LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony after the game, but according to this plot development, ESPN finally decided to interview Cao Jian.
Cao Jian was also incoherent when he was interviewed, and when asked why he played so well, Cao Jian replied: "I don't know how I played so well, I guess, maybe it's because I'm so excited to play, so I don't have time to be distracted by other things." ”
After the interview, Cao Jian's stadium entered the entrance of the locker room, which was also densely packed with people, the scene was impassable, and the fans on both sides of the aisle were also vying to shake hands with Cao Jian.
It's not a joke.
Because, there used to be jokes about this matter.
Before the game, a fan named Jason was interviewed and said, "I didn't know there was such a person? Cao Jian? Who is Cao Jian? Can I eat it? ”
Before, the reporter also threw such a question to Cao Jian, asking Cao Jian to introduce himself, Cao Jian did not answer too radically at that time, and said self-deprecatingly: "Hello everyone, my name is nobody." ”
However, after the game, the reporter interviewed the fan named Jason again, and Jason said: "Haha, now, Cao Jian should know me." ”
After this game, the question of whether it was worth it for the Cavaliers to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers was completely eliminated by Cao Jian.
This summer, there are 29 teams in the league that have signed a lot of free agents, but the rookie Cao Jian signed by the Cavaliers is one of the most controversial, with issues such as yellow race, 18 years old, and big contracts making Cao Jian on the cusp of controversy.
Especially in Cao Jian's first few games, this controversy reached a climax, especially in Cao Jian's poor performance at the beginning, averaging several assists per game, in addition, there were no steals, under this series of factors, the Cavaliers matched him with a high contract, and these sharp comments and opinions reached a climax.
Even before the start of this game, a writer with considerable influence in the United States openly questioned, "Hey, you better go back and practice and come back!" ”
Not only him, but even Charles Barkley mentioned it when he was commentating on the game.
But after this game, to be exact, in the game of Cao Jian vs. the Denver Nuggets, the last 12 minutes of the fourth quarter were enough for most people who witnessed this moment for a long, long time. In these 12 minutes, he used his gorgeous and efficient performance to make Cao Jian's declaration of landing in the NBA.
"He was really good in the first quarter, and the highlights were one after the other. Even if you knew at the time that this young man would have even more great results in the future, you couldn't help but applaud him. Kenny Smith said after the game.
"From the fourth quarter, my favorite player was him!" After seeing Cao Jian's performance, TV commentator Sean Elliott said.
"I don't know what Cao is going to do, no one knows what Cao is going to do," Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas said, "I guess he's going to play well, but I didn't expect to play so well." It's unbelievable. ”
In the whole game, Cao Jian delivered 17 points, 10 assists and 3 steals, the most impressive thing is that Cao Jian relied on assists to tie the score at the last moment, and relied on steals and dunks to kill.
"It's the first time I've met him, and I'm very impressed with him," said Andre Miller, who is opposite the Nuggets and Cao Jian. ”
"He's a genius, look at how he plays," said Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, "and his greatest strength is in the distribution of the ball. He's done just a fantastic job. ”
"It's just his first NBA game, and you have to be impressed." Nuggets coach Jeff Zdrick said, "He stole the victory that should have been ours. ”
The NBA in 2003 was in a period of decline. Michael Jordan is retiring, there is a lack of new stars with market appeal, and fan interest has plummeted. Aside from the Los Angeles Lakers and their twin stars Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, there aren't many people in the league who can catch the nation's attention. The 02-03 Finals Finals series between the Spurs and the Nets set a record for the lowest ratings in the Finals, and the league has lost more than half of its audience compared to the last time Jordan led the Bulls to win the championship in '98.
NBA President Stern also responded to this situation and proposed a sport called star-making, so there will be a big contract for LeBron James.
That's why there will be gimmicks like the Denver Nuggets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron vs. Carmelo.
Cao Jian's uncertain factor is out of the air, which is a blessing for the sluggish market, the star-making movement, that is, who has the ability to go on, Cao Jian's performance today has also conquered many fans, so Cao Jian has also become a topic of conversation.
The Denver Nuggets played against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game, and various media also reported on Cao Jian. In other words, hype.
Since it is hype, it must be the coexistence of praise and controversy, Cao Jian is receiving praise at the same time, doubts and controversies are also continuous, and many people have questioned Cao Jian's game.
