Chapter 261: Hitting the second playoff game

At an extremely critical moment, when he picked up the defense of Jamal, Cao Jian stiffened with cramps and collided directly with Jamal who was flying over, and his body had a contact in the air.

"Force~~~~" The referee also sounded the whistle very cooperatively, and Cao Jian successfully created a foul on Jamal.

And after he made the foul, the basketball he projected ~ out was also thrown in the air, drawing a beautiful arc, which was extremely beautiful.

He made a shot after being fouled, which also scared the Pacers fans, one or two were dumbfounded, and their mouths were also spewing out, "no~~~~~~~~"

But it's a pity that now Cao Jian is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the arc of this ball is very good, but it's just a little short.

"Bang Dang !!" After a heavy iron sound sounded, at this time, the long-suppressed Pacers fans also breathed a sigh of relief.

Some Pacers fans also patted their chests, forcing themselves ~ to calm down, and kept muttering on their mouths, "It's dangerous!! ”

"Oops. Oh my god. ”

"It's good that I didn't get in."

There is no doubt that the fans at the scene were also frightened by Cao Jian's shot.

And after Cao Jian made Jamal's foul, his leg was really bad, he fell directly to the ground, straightened his leg directly, and then pressed the soles of his feet down with his hands to relieve the pain, this time it was too painful, and Cao Jian had to take measures to reduce the pain.

Seeing Cao Jian like this, Paul. Silas also quickly asked for a timeout.

The timeout whistle blows. The Cavaliers doctor also followed up to help Cao Jian with treatment.

However, Cao Jian's body was really too tired. The body has been protesting, Cao Jian can't play this game.

And the team doctor also gave Cao Jian a death order, and the game could not continue.

The body couldn't allow him to continue, and the cramps kept going.

Even so, Cao Jian still limped back to the court and stood on the free throw line.

Now Cao Jian doesn't say it's a free throw. Even if you are standing, just standing, it hurts like a heartbreak. Under the capture of the high-magnification mirror, Cao Jian's calves were bruised, and he couldn't stand on his feet.

Cao Jian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat and he gritted his teeth. The gaze is still firm. Enforce penalties resolutely.

Seeing this scene, it should have been the boos of Cao Jian, the boos that interfered with Cao Jian's free throws, did not sound, and the stadium that was noisy just now became quiet, as silent as a forest.

The eyes of Pacers fans. It was all focused on Cao Jian, who was standing at the free throw line, and it was at this time. Cao Jianzhi endured the pain and executed the free throw.

Because, it hurts too much under his feet, and he needs to shoot with footsteps, but Cao Jian couldn't do it, relying entirely on the strength of his arms, but even so, the basketball still swiped steadily from the tip of Cao Jian's index finger.

Standing behind Cao Jian, the legendary superstar Reggie. Miller, also watching this scene fixedly, was able to encounter such an opponent, I don't know if he was lucky or he was unlucky?

Looking at Cao Jian's back, after watching Cao Jian's first free throw, Reggie standing behind him. Miller, too, took the initiative to applaud first, "Smack! ”

"Smack!"

In his opinion, an opponent like Cao Jian is worthy of respect.

In Reggie. Miller led the scene with some Pacers fans, one, two, three...... Ten, twenty...... One hundred, two hundred...... One thousand, two thousand, the Pacers fans also involuntarily gave Cao Jian a round of applause, which is a applause that belongs to the strong.

This applause is for the strong, the self-improvement.

In their eyes, there is no doubt that Cao Jian is this type of person.

The knight generals were also stunned, what is the situation, what is going on?

It is extremely rare in the history of the league that a rookie can win the respect of fans on the road.

In the history of the league, this can be done, and the "God of Basketball" Michael . Jordan, this god-like man.

However, Jordan was also able to reap these goals late in his career, after he won three consecutive championships.

However, Cao Jian was able to gain the respect of the visiting fans in the first season of his career.

This was unimaginable before the start of Cao Jian's career.

According to the predictions of experts from all walks of life, Cao Jian's career is destined to be mediocre, capped his achievements, and he is a second-tier player in the league, who has been in the league for a few years, and then returned to his hometown to find a job at a gas station, and he has survived.

Undoubtedly, what Cao Jian did today was undoubtedly a slap in the face to these people.

The miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes received applause from the visiting team, attracting the legendary Reggie. Miller respects, none of this is like something that a second-tier player can do.

In the applause of the Pacers, Cao Jian also made the second free throw basket steadily, followed by the third and third free throws, which is already Cao Jian's limit.

Cao Jian was unable to support it at all, he was still supported by his opponent, and he also used up a trace of strength in his body.

He can say to himself, I did my best, I have no regrets.

Cao Jian got off the court and did not continue to stay on the court, but returned directly to the locker room, although he knew that the Cavaliers, who were missing the three main forces, were not the opponents of the Pacers at all, and this game would definitely be lost, he didn't want to watch his team lose, and he couldn't do anything.

I don't want to do this, and I leave my eye socket a little moist.

The miracle seems to be accompanied by Cao Jian's departure.

In the end, the Cavaliers did not escape defeat in the away game against the Pacers.

The long whistle blew for the "~~~~~" game, and the game ended, at home, in the end, the Pacers won the game by 3 points, and the scores of both sides were also fixed at 83-80.

Although, the Pacers repelled the Cavaliers at home, ending the Cavaliers' 22-game winning streak, which should have been a cause for joy. Something to celebrate, however, for Pacers fans after the game. But they couldn't be happy, because they realized that a phantom beast was growing rapidly, and for a long time to come, they would be an obstacle to the walker's progression, perhaps the biggest obstacle.

It is not surprising that they have such concerns, on the contrary. Is it abnormal not to have such worries?

The Cavaliers are a rebuilding team, and the two cores of the team are also 19-year-olds. And the core of the inner line is a sophomore, and the older ones in the main force are just the older Z, what is the future potential of such a knight, maybe it is really only that. Only the sky is their limit.

With. With the continuous growth of the Cavaliers' players and the enhancement of the depth of the bench lineup, it is not difficult for such a Cavaliers to make it to the top of the Eastern Conference.

After all, in the Eastern Conference, the only teams that are competitive now are the Pacers, Pistons, Nets and Heat.

And their strong cycle is only one or two years, if. Give the knight a year or two, what will the knight be like?

Nobody knows about this.

But. If anyone says that the Cavaliers can win the Eastern Conference Championship or even the Aubran Cup in the next few years, not many people doubt it.

In the post-match press conference, Reggie . Miller was obviously not in high spirits when asked how he felt about blocking the Cavaliers, he didn't think it was the Pacers who won the Cavaliers, on the contrary, he thought that the Cavaliers lost to themselves, to this abominable schedule, and he said something like this, "Don't say it again, the Pacers won the Cavaliers." We didn't really beat them, and I can't guarantee that we could have won if we had played against the Cavaliers who had had enough rest. However, I'm also glad that this is the second back-to-back game they have, otherwise we might be in the background again. ”

In addition to this question, the reporter also asked: "Why did you choose to applaud Cao Jian at the last moment of the game?" ”

For this question, Reggie. Miller pondered for a moment, then said, "He's a respectable opponent. He's very competitive, he's the same kind of person as me, and he's very competitive. However, I still have some regrets that I didn't get to play against him at the peak of my career, which is a big regret. I'd really like to compare him to whoever has the best three-point shot. ”

"Aren't you at your peak now?"

"Can I take your words as a compliment?"

……

It always feels bad to lose.

Especially when winning has become a habit, especially when suddenly losing on this night.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers' locker room would be bustling with people talking about the game, the good shots of the game, and the mistakes that had gone wrong.

There are also some players playing treasures, and some older ones are making some dizzy jokes, but today's knights' locker room is gloomy, everyone frowns, and they don't say a word, everyone is taking care of their own things and sorting out their own things.

The big guy is still extremely uncomfortable.

And the Cavaliers coach came in, and they didn't know that at this time, everyone would talk to Paul. Silas greeted and teased his pink tie, but none of the big guys did it today, and everyone was surprisingly quiet.

In the end, it was Paul. Silas broke the silence with a voice, saying: "Boys, you performed as well today as you dressed, although we lost, but we are not soft eggs. ”

For, Paul. Silas's comforting words, the big guy is also lacking in interest, and if he loses, he loses.

What's the use of playing well?

If you fight well, you still don't win, and you're even more sad.

However, the fans have such expressions, Paul. Silas wanted to say something, but more than a dozen reporters, the guys, poured into the Cavaliers' locker room.

Such a scene is also extremely rare.

In the NBA, after the game, it is usually a winner's paradise, and most of the media interviews are winners, because there is usually no market for losers, no readers like to be abused, to see how the loser's soul thinks after the game, most people care more about the successful people.

But today, these reporters have changed their normal behavior and turned to surround the knights who have been defeated, why is this?

Did you want to rub salt on the knight's wounds?

If so, isn't it shameful?

Seeing the swarming reporters, the expressions of the Cavaliers players also showed resentment, if it weren't for the league's non-regulations that the media should not be allowed to refuse post-game interviews, the Cavaliers players would have already swept these paparazzi out of the house.

However, there was no way, and this interview had to be conducted again.

However, to the surprise of the Cavaliers players, these reporters who are usually nitpicky did not fight-for-tat this time, but regretted the failure of the Cavaliers, and most of the reporters were some words of encouragement, which calmed down the Cavaliers a little.

This time, the media came in mainly to interview Cao Jian, and the most important thing was to ask Cao Jian why he insisted on playing despite extreme cramps during the game.

In this game, these reporters also saw Cao Jian's performance very well.

From the second half of the fourth quarter, they saw the cramps very well, and they all recorded them.

Obviously, he had cramps in the middle of the fourth quarter, but he insisted on almost the whole quarter of the fourth quarter, if it wasn't really bad in the end, Cao Jian would have insisted on staying on the court and executing free throws.

It can be said that in this battle, Cao Jian also did all the things he had to do.

In this battle, it can also be said that Cao Jian tried his best to the last ounce of ammunition.

Although the ending is regrettable, everyone remembers this process, no one will bury Cao Jian, only respect Cao Jian as much as Pacers fans.

The reporter's question also raised the questions in the hearts of countless people.

Cao Jianchi~ bare shoulders, revealing his strong muscles, lying on his back on the couch, his feet still covered with ice, glanced at the reporter, and then, took a deep breath.

Cao Jian hated and disgusted the loss, and he still often recalled the scene on the field just now in his mind.

Cao Jian also imagined countless ifs, as well as the answers after ifs, but he clearly knew that there was no if.

For this question, Cao Jian also took a deep breath and brewed for a long time, but Cao Jian's answer was extremely simple, just a few words that could not be simple.

He looked at the reporter in front of him, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I don't want to lose!! ”

Cao Jian's voice was not very loud, but his voice was heard by everyone present.

Hearing this, the eyes of the people present were all focused on Cao Jian, and everyone didn't speak, just looked at Cao Jian fixedly.

In this world, there is something called faith.

And people who believe can also infect people and convince those around them.

There is no doubt that Cao Jian is such a person.

As soon as Cao Jian's words came out, the scene remained quiet for a long time......
