I’m Really Playing Basketball
Chapter 267 A miracle replicated again!
On April 18, 2004, the second day of the G1 game between the Cavaliers and Nets, the news that the Cavaliers defeated the Nets in an away game was raging across the United States.
For a time, the news about the Cavaliers and Nets game directly covered up the news about the other three games.
As the most outstanding player in this game, Chen Xiao has become the focus of national attention.
Especially when Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to replicate Miller's moment in the fourth quarter, when the whole world felt that the Cavaliers were desperate, he said, "God will bring a victory to Cleveland." ." has become the focus of everyone's discussion.
This statement and that one are really awesome, and the realization of this statement is the best among the real awesome opinions!
The Cavaliers are already in such a desperate situation, but Chen Xiao can still have such confidence.
And it finally happened.
Even Reggie Miller didn't have such a strong belief in winning before his Miller moment.
Therefore, when many people talked about Chen Xiao's words, they quickly unanimously agreed that this sentence can become a historical leader's quote in NBA history, alongside those said by historical leaders.
And among the leader-level quotes compiled by the media, Chen Xiao's quote ranks particularly high.
Of course, the explosive point of this game was not just Chen Xiao leading the Cavaliers to replicate the double Miller moment.
At the same time, at the beginning of the game, after Chen Xiao shot O'Neal in the face, he yelled at O'Neal: "Shaq, get out!"
It is also the focus of heated discussion among American fans.
Again, this is a quote that comes true.
Similarly, after the frenzied discussion among American audiences, they also unanimously agreed that this sentence can be included in Chen Xiao's trash talk quotations.
And in the same way, the scene of Chen Xiao and O'Neill staring at each other, and O'Neal retreating from this trash talk is even more delicious.
In short, the game between the Nets and the Cavaliers was really full of explosive points and full of focus.
Chen Xiao's 54 in the game, James' debut triple-double, Chen Xiao's 27 points in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' final Miller moment, Chen Xiao's leader's speech, Chen Xiao's trash talk to O'Neal, etc. , these can be ignored.
Even after the game, the news that James blamed Phil Jackson and O'Neal as bad guys was also explosive.
In short, the game between the Cavaliers and Nets was obviously just one of the four games on the first day of the playoffs yesterday, but the public opinion created by this game was really like the first day of the playoffs. This game is the same.
In any case, for the American media who like to make trouble and make big things, the Cavaliers' victory in this game can already cause them to stir up bad public opinion in the United States.
So, a minute's silence for Phil Jackson and the players of the Nets.
After all, the public opinion created by Phil Jackson was directly shattered by Xiao Zhan, while the black eight public opinion created by Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan to destroy the Nets continued to ferment.
The public opinion that Chen Xiao created before to destroy the Nets has already put a lot of pressure on these veteran players of the Nets.
Now that the public opinion in the United States is overwhelming, you say, how much pressure are these players in the Nets?
Faced with such public opinion from the American media, ordinary players really can't stand it!
Fortunately, many of the Nets' F7s are veterans. Even Carter and Martin Richardson, who are not veterans, are players who have experienced things and are not junior brothers.
But, in any case, G1 of the Cavaliers and Nets put tremendous pressure on the Nets.
If you don't regenerate under pressure, you have to collapse under pressure.
Fortunately, these Nets players don't speak Chinese. If they can speak Chinese and can read Chinese news, then sorry, don't struggle, the Nets have been hacked.
This is really not a joke. Now in China, after this game, if you dare to say that the Cavaliers cannot hack the Nets, then you must be Chen Hei without a conscience.
After the game, the on-site commentator Xiao Su became popular.
Because Xiao Su's commentary before the game started became popular.
"Ms. Zhang is right. Although Chen Xiao has a lot of hopes of leading the Cavaliers to win this round of the series, the first game may not be won so easily."
Good guy, these words are really accurate for the prediction of this game.
So that Xiao Su became the first commentator of China's new generation.
Mr. Zhang, who was originally kidnapped by Xiao Su's scheming and wanted to settle accounts with Xiao Su Qiuhou after the game, was dumbfounded when he wanted to mess with Xiao Su.
It turned out that Xiao Su wanted to harm him and kidnap him.
Unexpectedly, I actually took him on a flight.
For such a situation, Teacher Zhang didn't know whether to say it was reasonable or unreasonable.
Faced with the overwhelming number of "knowledge players", "Teacher Zhang's prediction is reasonable", "He is indeed the number one commentator in China", "Teacher Zhang is as awesome as Xiao Chen", "Teacher Zhang is so reasonable!" ’...praise.
Teacher Zhang himself was dumbfounded.
Is it reasonable or unreasonable?
Teacher Zhang suddenly felt that perhaps Xiao Su's choice was not wrong.
"Believe Xiao Chen, it's reasonable!"
It has a little bit of theological flavour.
How about following Chen Xiao's example and teaching Chen Xiaoli a lesson?
joke.
Teacher Zhang still doesn’t have this kind of mobility.
In short, facing the overwhelming public opinion in the United States and even in the whole of China, although Chen Xiao was very happy to win the first game.
However, Chen Xiao himself knew how to win this game.
In order to win this game, Chen Xiao used 10 scoring experience cards.
Two in the third quarter, in exchange for two three-pointers.
Eight shots were taken in the fourth quarter, resulting in 7 three-pointers. One of them was used and it was determined that the chance was zero. Then he immediately used the assist experience card to pass the ball to James. Xiao James made the three-pointer that changed the game. .
If these nine three-pointers are thrown away, Chen Xiao's actual scoring data in this game was 8 of 27, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 8 of 12 free throws, and 27 points in the game.
Facing the Nets' defense against him in this game, this scoring data is definitely quite satisfactory for Chen Xiao's strength.
It should be said that because after the second half of this game, Chen Xiao didn't know whether it was because of the increased defensive pressure on the Nets or because his touch became worse. His scoring status in the second half of this game was very average.
Of the 39 points in the second half, 27 were scored on experience cards.
Of course, Chen Xiao has no mysophobia, and the scoring experience card was obtained with his strength and hard work, and it is also his strength.
However, when his teammates and the media in New Jersey and Cleveland trumpet him as a god, he can't really feel that he is a god.
Xiao Zhan is so smart that he can see the real strength gap between the Cavaliers and Nets from this game.
Chen Xiao feels that his IQ should be no worse than Xiao Zhan, and of course he can see it.
The Nets are indeed difficult to beat.
It is not easy for Chen Xiao to defeat the Nets, and to defeat the Nets at a relatively small cost.
Therefore, when the United States was praising Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao refused interviews from all American media.
There is no need for China to refuse. Anyway, China's praise of him has reached the extreme, so it doesn't matter anyway, and the Chinese media and public opinion have zero harm to him and the Cavaliers.
Therefore, when the game between the Cavaliers and the Nets was in uproar, Chen Xiao just posted a photo of himself training at Princeton University on his Facebook.
"still on the way."
Well, quite simple and quite cold.
Chen Xiao now has dozens of 'friends' on Facebook, and there are already tens of thousands of people who have applied to be his friends. It has only been a few days, which is quite large for Facebook now.
After all, Facebook has only opened registration for the Ivy League and universities near Boston, and there are not that many total users.
This was also the first official Facebook post posted by Chen Xiao. It caused quite a stir and was liked a lot.
As the two leading players of the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao and James were able to be so calm after the game against the Nets, which made Cavaliers head coach Carlisle very satisfied.
The other players on the Cavaliers can go crazy because of the victory in this game.
But Chen Xiao and James had better be sober.
Therefore, Carlisle, who was originally planning to pour cold water on Chen Xiao and James after the game, immediately stopped his thoughts.
The next game between the Cavaliers and Nets is on April 20. The Cavaliers have two days before the next game to prepare for the next game and analyze the previous game.
In the past two days, Carlisle did not do any heavy exercise training plan. Instead, he took the Cavaliers players to watch and analyze the reasons why the Cavaliers won the last game and why it started in the fourth quarter. 12 points behind.
When it comes to why you can win…
"Because Chen is God in this game!"
"Because of LeBron's defensive efforts in this game!"
"Because of the magic of Jamal's rotation time!"
"Because of the team's hard work on the defensive end!"
These are the four most cited reasons.
"Which of these four reasons do you think you can do better in the next game?"
After Carlisle finished speaking, except for Chen Xiao and James, the other young people who were a little embarrassed after the game looked at each other.
Finally, Xiao Zhan volunteered to stand up and said: "I can work harder in the next game."
Afterwards, other Cavaliers players also expressed that they could also work harder on defense in the next game.
But for the other two of these four reasons, neither Chen Xiao nor Crawford took a stand.
Because everyone knows that offense is really more than just hard work.
The four reasons why you were able to win this game, the most important reason, cannot be replicated every time.
After Carlisle's soul-searching questions, most of the Cavaliers' other distracted players regained their composure.
If they want to really enjoy such an honor after this round of playoffs, they need to continue to work hard.
"Although Chen and Jamal will not be so magical in the next game, you must be mentally prepared for this, but you can do more on the defensive end in the next game. I hope you can put this into practice in the past two days. If you watch every game and your own performance in this game is bad, you can also watch the performance of your teammates and evaluate their performance. I will make random checks at any time."
I have to say that Carlisle's method is really good.
This kind of collective learning allows a team of young players like the Cavaliers to better communicate with each other and promote each other.
For example, when evaluating teammates.
Diop was bullied by O'Neal with small moves when he was defending O'Neal, which became the focus of complaints from Cavaliers players.
The Cavaliers only limited the Nets' offense, but did not defend it. The main reason was that Diop failed to defend O'Neal, which distracted Darius Miles and Chandler too much and gave Malone and Carter a lot of opportunities.
This is also the reason why the Cavaliers were blocked by their offense after three quarters and fell behind by 12 points.
Diop also blushed when his teammates complained so mercilessly.
To be fair, Carlisle's approach really doesn't necessarily work well in other teams.
Because the Cavaliers are very harmonious inside, just like the Pistons he brought before.
The Pistons are internally harmonious, and the team players are civilian players who don't care about face.
The Cavaliers are internally harmonious, and at the same time, the two big men of the team are really magnificent.
Chen Xiao said bluntly: "I had the worst defense in the last game. In the next game, I will try my best to let Carter score less than 20 points."
And Xiao Zhan was even more ruthless: "I will score higher than Malone in the next game!"
Good guy, he doesn't count on Zhan's offense in this round of the series. He wants to score more than Malone, so he can only make up for it with defense.
In the last game, Xiao Zhan worked hard enough.
This is a rhythm that requires more effort!
Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan often criticized themselves during meetings, and they were very sincere.
The eldest brother and the second brother are like this, what face do you little brothers want?
To be fair, being able to coach a team composed of geniuses with high IQ and high EQ like Chen Xiao and James makes Carlisle feel as happy as coaching his civilian Pistons.
Defense, defense, it's all defense!
The Cavaliers' defense against the Nets in the last game was considered to be textbook level by many experts across the country.
But in the past two days, the Cavaliers players, under the leadership of Carlisle, have criticized their defense to the core.
If the expert media in the United States knew about it, they would be stunned.
This is too demanding!
And this is why the Pistons are so defensively strong.
Do you really think that the Pistons' defense became stronger after Larry Brown came?
Of course, it is also true that the Pistons' defense is stronger with the arrival of Larry Brown and Rasheed Wallace.
But it is also true that Carlisle spent two years turning the Pistons, a team that allowed opponents to average 97.3 points per game, into a team that allowed opponents to average 87.7 points per game.
To put it bluntly, if Carlisle can get his favorite Rasheed Wallace, what he does with the Pistons may not be as good as Larry Brown.
On the evening of April 20, 2004, the much-anticipated second game between the Cavaliers and Nets took place at the New Jersey Airline Center.
This game was called "the strongest rescue battle in history" by the American media before the game. Logically speaking, as the strongest team in history, it is a bit embarrassing to be rescued after the first game.
But no matter how angry the Nets players were at being called such a name by the media, they could only hold it in.
Because they did lose the last game.
O'Neal, Malone, Richard Jefferson, Carter, Payton.
This is the starting lineup for G2 between the Nets and Cavaliers.
Judging from this starting lineup, Phil Jackson felt that the Nets players played without any problems in the last game.
So there is no plan to change tactics in this game.
As for the Cavaliers standing opposite the Nets, the Cavaliers' starting lineup for this game is Diop, Chandler, Darius Miles, Chen Xiao, and James.
Same starting lineup without any changes.
Carlisle was also pleased with the Cavaliers' performance in the last game.
At the beginning of the game, Chandler once again defeated O'Neal with a jump ball.
The Cavaliers started the first attack of the game.
In the Cavaliers' first attack, Chen Xiao broke away from Carter under the cover of his teammates and received a pass from James outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. Under Richard Jefferson's block, the game was The first three-point shot, hit the iron!
"After the confrontation between the two teams in the last game, the Nets' Carter and Richard Jefferson cooperated more tacitly when defending Wonder Boy. The Nets have become more accustomed to the single play style of the Cavaliers and Wonder Boy. With this starting lineup of the Cavaliers in this game, their offense will be even more difficult to beat."
The Nets' first defense surprised Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines.
Next, the Nets attack and the Cavaliers defend.
The Nets mainly played O'Neal. In the last game, O'Neal beat Diop with powerful attacks and small moves. This time, when O'Neal made a fool of Diop again, the little guy from the Cavaliers actually didn't hide and really attacked himself. He leaned his face against O'Neal's elbow. Damn it, O'Neal was frightened.
Shouldn't he have an instinctive reaction like he did in the last game and back away in fear? Then when he pushed, the kid was pushed off the court and he just forced a dunk?
O'Neal would definitely not dare to do a real elbow.
He is the main attacker and defender of the Nets. He received a foul at the beginning, or an offensive foul. Do you really think that James and Chen Xiao's breakthroughs are not strong enough?
As long as he gets this offensive foul, he swears that James and Chen Xiao will definitely attack like crazy. Even if they are blocked five times, as long as he gets another foul, it will be a sure profit.
It's easy for O'Neal to play Diop in isolation, but this is a zone defense. How could the Cavaliers give O'Neal a chance to play in isolation.
Facing the Cavaliers' defense, which had shrunk rapidly, O'Neal chose to miss and immediately passed the ball to Malone.
Malone frowned when he received the pass from O'Neal. It was very timely.
But O'Neal failed to succeed. He had space, but not that big.
This kind of space is actually not big under James' crazy help defense.
With the help of James, Malone took O'Neal's pass and hit the mid-range shot.
"The Cavaliers' defense is even stronger than the last game!"
Soon, Barkley and Kenny Smith, who were shocked by the Nets' opening defense just now, were also shocked by the Cavaliers' defense this time.
"I thought the defenses of the two teams were already very strong in the last game, but I didn't expect that this game would be even stronger!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith are in shock.
Next to him, Phil Jackson was frowning.
He can definitely predict that the Nets' offense will be more difficult in this game, and the young Cavaliers may improve every game.
However, he really didn't expect that the progress would be so great!
In the last game, the Nets basically scored more than 20 points in every quarter, not much, but not a lot.
But after the first quarter of this game, the score between the two teams was 14 to 16!
The defense in the first quarter of the game between the Cavaliers and Nets can be described as suffocating.
Throughout the first quarter, for the Nets, O'Neal made 2 of 3 and scored 6 points. O'Neal's efficiency is still high. As long as he takes a shot, he will hit at least 60%. But in this game, Diop is more experienced and more efficient. The strong zone defense allowed O'Neal to take very few shots in the first quarter.
Malone, 2 of 6, 5 points. When O'Neal was unable to compress the Cavaliers' zone defense space, James, who was even crazier in this game, was very successful in assisting Malone in defense.
Carter, 2 of 6, also scored 5 points. When O'Neal and Malone couldn't open the paint, of course, Carter's singles and three-pointers were needed to break the Cavaliers' zone defense.
However, in the Cavaliers' zone defense, James makes up for Chen Xiao's defensive space behind him, so Chen Xiao can defend Carter more prominently.
This means that Carter's singles have very little space.
To put it simply, it is really difficult for Carter to beat Chen Xiao.
In addition to these three people, the other two starters of the Nets, Payton was 0 for 2, Richard Jefferson was 0 for 2, and Fisher, who replaced Payton, was 0 for 1.
In the entire first quarter, the Nets only made 6 of 20, with a shooting percentage of only 30%. They are the strongest team in history!
Scored 16 points with a 30% shooting rate, which is really bad.
The Cavaliers on the other side were not much better.
Chen Xiao scored 8 points on 3 of 9 shots, Xiao Zhan scored 5 points on 1 of 6 shots, and Darius Myers scored 1 point on 1 of 2 free throws.
Throughout the first quarter, the Cavaliers made 4 of 21 shots and scored 14 points with a 19% shooting rate.
Judging from this shooting rate, Carter and Richard Jefferson double-teamed Chen Xiao, and James put Payton or Fisher in front of him. The other Cavaliers players did not need special defensive players, and then O'Neal and Malone guarded the basket. The effect of the Cavaliers' starting lineup is simply outstanding.
In the first quarter of this game, Chen Xiao and James exchanged a lot of their efforts for offensive rebounds, but the Cavaliers' offense still did not open up.
For the first quarter of the game, it was predictable that the Cavaliers' offense was poor. After all, the Cavaliers relied more on Chen Xiao on the offensive end than the 76ers relied on Iverson.
Chen Xiao is the target. Chen Xiao has attracted so many defenders, and if others can't score, there is really no way.
But obviously, as the strongest team in history, the Nets played such an offense in the first quarter of this game, which can't help but raise eyebrows.
"The Cavaliers' starting zone defense is definitely the strongest zone defense in history!"
"James, Chen Xiao, Darius Miles, Chandler, Diop, everyone remember this lineup. This is the strongest zone defense lineup in history!"
In this game between the Nets and the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers, who had what commentators, experts and reporters considered to be the strongest zone defense in history, lost in the end.
61 to 72. Although the Cavaliers only allowed the Nets to score 72 points in this game, the strongest team in history scored 72 points in the game. This defense is indeed amazing.
But this offense is indeed bad.
In fact, when Crawford scored 2 points in 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Cavaliers had a high probability of losing the game.
In the third quarter, James' touch also failed to improve. The Cavaliers only scored 9 points in a single quarter. When the score was lower than the third quarter of the previous game, the Cavaliers were already determined to lose.
In the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao was doing his best to obey fate. He did not choose to score the experience card, but chose to try it himself first.
Using score experience cards to accomplish miracles is too costly and may not be possible.
In the end, the Nets regained a victory at home.
Chen Xiao made 12 of 33 shots in the game, 4 of 13 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 31 points in the game.
Chen Xiao's scoring alone is half of the Cavaliers' total.
In addition, Xiao Zhan made 6 of 24 in this game and scored 16 points in the game.
Crawford scored 6 points in 3 of 11.
It is worth mentioning that although the Cavaliers lost in this game, most of the Cavaliers players completed their plans before the game.
Chen Xiao allowed Carter to score 15 points in this game.
James scored 2 points more than Malone in this game.
Diop did not allow O'Neal to compress the Cavaliers' zone defense in this game.
In the second game between the Cavaliers and Nets, there was nothing magical, it was all about hard power.
After the hard power of the two teams collided like this, many experts and media said that although the Cavaliers have the strongest zone defense in history.
But defense alone cannot defeat the Nets. Therefore, the Nets will advance in up to six games in this series.
This prediction is relatively reasonable.
So after this game, the pressure on the Nets was instantly relieved.
O'Neal was no longer silent like he was after the last game, but started to show off again.
"I know the Cavaliers' offensive players had a bad touch in the last game, but do you think our touch in the last game was good?"
"I admit that the Cavaliers' defense is very strong, but it's Wonder Boy who gets out, and it's LeBron who goes home to go fishing!"
The pretentious part after winning the game made O'Neal and the Nets happy!
Just when O'Neal was feeling great and everyone felt that the Nets would advance without any suspense, old New York fans and new Nets fans were full of energy again.
April 23, 2004, G3 between the Cavaliers and Nets.
At this time, the score between the two teams on the court was 82 to 82.
There is nothing wrong with this score. The two teams are tied.
The Cavaliers' defense was still outstanding in this game.
In addition, James hit 4 open three-pointers in this game. At the same time, Chen Xiao also hit 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and finally led the Cavaliers to tie the score with 4 seconds left in the game. .
Carter, who had a chance to win the game, failed to catch and shoot the ball.
There is no problem up to this point in the game.
But Carter, who failed to make the buzzer-beater, looked at the timer on the court with 0.7 seconds left.
Looking at that number, Carter was a little dizzy.
The old Knicks fans in front of the TV have even more eye pain.
Recently in the United States, their old rival Miller's Miller moment has been very popular.
0.7 seconds, this number is too familiar to them!
“Another Miller moment!”
In this playoffs, did Wonder Boy have sex with Miller all the time? !
The Knicks fans in front of the TV were desperate and hoped that this was an unexpected coincidence.
Nets players on the court also thought it was a coincidence.
But!
1 minute later.
When the mid-range shot thrown by Carter under the three-man screen finally hit, the whole world fell silent again at that moment.
"Crazy, so crazy, Miller's moment is recreated again!"
"Wonder Boy made a buzzer-beating shot to kill the Nets with 0.7 seconds left in the game!"
"The Miller Moment is recreated once again by the Wonder Boy!"
Watching Chen Xiao and James who kept dancing like a child on the TV, Jordan and Miller in front of the TV, the two protagonists and supporting actors in this Miller moment of the year, this time and this moment of the year It was completely different when it happened.
Miller was as dumbfounded as Jordan was.
And Jordan, at this time, like Chen Xiao, James and Miller in front of the TV, kept jumping in place like a child.
Well, I'm still smoking and choking.
