I’m Really Playing Basketball

G2 between the Bobcats and Bucks, there is really nothing to say about this game.

The Bucks were too strong and the Bobcats tried their best. After the game started, the two teams continued the rhythm of G1.

After finding the weakness in dealing with the Bobcats, a team that has no stable three-point ability except for Chen Xiao and Granger, the Bucks took down the Bobcats almost without bloodshed.

After three quarters, the game entered garbage time.

Chen Xiao played very fiercely in this game. In the first three quarters, he made 12 of 25 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 11 of 14 free throws. He scored 37 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.

Whether it was offense or defense, Chen Xiao went all out.

But it can be seen from Chen Xiao's three-point shooting percentage in this game that Chen Xiao's touch is average.

Therefore, Chen Xiao spent most of this game fighting Braxon, Iguodala or Ariza under the basket.

Chen Xiao used his dreamy footsteps to continuously beat the Bucks' inside line under the basket.

The Bucks do not have a tall center like Dayao, which is very beneficial to Chen Xiao.

But at the same time, the inside players of the Bucks are very fast, moving fast, and the defensive rotation is fast. Chen Xiao spends a little longer playing fantasy footwork under the basket, waiting for double-teaming.

This means that if teammates on the outside shoot inaccurately, Chen Xiao's space under the basket will become smaller and smaller.

In this game, the teammates of the Bobcats were indeed not very accurate in their shots. I don't know if it was because of their own state, or the Bucks' defensive flexibility was too good. Even Chen Xiao's chance balls could always interfere.

In short, except for Chen Xiao, who scored 37 points, there was only one player in the team who scored in double figures.

Xiaopao made 5 of 14 shots in this game, 0 of 3 three-pointers, scored 10 points and 6 assists. His defense was still very good and he had 3 steals.

In addition, Granger, who performed very well in the last game, was a little uncomfortable after being taken care of in this game. He made 2 of 7 in the game, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. 8 points.

However, as a rookie player, after the outbreak in the last game, he was given special attention this time, so it is normal to perform like this.

It would be strange if this game can still play the same performance as the last game after the Bucks took care of it. Then Granger is no longer a rookie, but a superstar.

Of course, Granger has strength, and after adjustments, he will definitely perform better. Maybe not as explosive as the previous game, but it won't be as sluggish as this one.

It can only be said that the Bobcats have too few players with stable offense in the playoffs.

The Bucks can focus on Granger.

If Monta Alice, Lou Williams or Jack opened one of these three nerves in this game, Granger would be under much less pressure.

But in this game, these three players who were undercover in the last game continued to be undercover in this game.

Barnes, on the other hand, does not have such a strong offensive ability, and cannot bear the pressure for Granger and Xiaopao.

As for Randolph, this is the most regrettable point for the Bobcats.

He has great strength, but because he was caught and beaten by the Bucks every time he played in the regular season, Jordan was very cautious when using him in the playoffs.

If Zach Randolph was the real O'Neal, Jordan would definitely use him.

Zach Randolph's problem is not only that he can be stared at and beaten by Ray Allen on the defensive end, but also called out like military training.

When attacking, his offensive moves are actually not that simple, a bit complicated, bumping around, and a bit slow, which leads to the fact that the Bucks, who are very fast in defense, can come back and attack immediately.

When the time comes, there will be a bunch of people under the basket, which will not only block Chen Xiao's space under the basket, but also slow down the Bobcats' offensive rhythm.

Randolph takes too much possession of the ball when he is attacking. When he is attacking, others really can only watch. If you can score like O’Neal, that’s fine, but many times after being double-teamed, he His vision is average now. Playing in the Trail Blazers is too unique, and it will take time to completely change it.

Therefore, in general, Randolph is still too slow, both offense and defense are relatively slow, suitable for playing slow-paced positional warfare, but the Bucks are the fastest offensive and defensive team in the league.

Randolph couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the game.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Bobcats lost miserably in this game, after taking Randolph into the starting lineup, the Bucks had such a strong fighting spirit in this game that they felt like they were eating them alive. They did not average as many points per game as they did in the regular season, but only scored 10 points per game. Just scored 110 points.

Of course, 110 points is also very high in the playoffs.

However, if you look at the score of the Bucks against the Bobcats in the regular season, you will know what a high score is.

The Bobcats' only win in the regular season came in overtime. Chen Xiao scored 70+ points and scored an experience card to win.

Chen Xiao has to perform to the extreme to drive Randolph.

After Randolph came on the court, the Bobcats' offensive ability in positional warfare became indeed stronger.

However, overall the gains outweigh the losses.

If the offense of Monta Alice and Lou Williams Jack, who replaced Randolph, opened up, even just one, the Bobcats would be in a much better situation.

This will not make the current Bobcats feel that Randolph needs to be included in the starting lineup.

Even if G2 lost this game, Boss Qiao never thought about putting Randolph in the starting lineup.

A few games in the regular season have proven a lot.

The Bobcats with Randolph in the starting lineup couldn't even make it to the fourth quarter most of the time when Chen Xiao didn't play.

In the playoffs, Randolph is better on the bench. Not only can he make up for the team's offense, but he can also perform offensively and defensively without having to be trained by Ray Allen.

This is a very reasonable choice.

Chen Xiao and even Randolph himself supported Jordan's decision.

There is a huge difference in strength between the Bobcats and the Bucks. If the Bobcats want to defeat the Bucks in this series, they need to fight for less than one percent of the chance.

Regardless of whether it was Chen Xiao who executed Boss Qiao's script regardless of his face being slapped in the future.

It was Joe boss who used psychological warfare to oppress the players and coaches of the Bucks, all in order to make his winning rate of less than 1% higher.

"Guys, to beat a 73-win team, we need not only strength, but also determination, and a heart that is strong enough!"

Jordan said so to the Bobcats players as the team left Milwaukee.

Be firm, this is not just talk.

Louis Williams, Monta Alice and Jack, who replaced Randolph in the starting lineup in this playoffs, took a total of 55 shots in the previous games. The three of them shot 8 of 55. This shooting rate , it’s simply a shame.

If you think 8-for-55 is already very low, but if I tell you, this is the garbage time in the fourth quarter of the second game of the three of them. The rate is even lower, can you believe it?

As the boss of the Bobcats team, Chen Xiao felt that he still had a bit of talent for judging people.

Especially when it comes to Mamba Spirit and Wolf King Spirit, Chen Xiao feels that she still has a little understanding.

Chen Xiao believes that the three heroes trained by him and Jordan's "infinite singles" training method this season have a strong enough heart.

There is no problem with their strength, and there is no problem with their inner quality.

Ordinary players would not dare to throw things around like this under such tough conditions.

Even if Chen Xiao and Jordan allowed them to keep throwing fairy balls during the game, most people would not dare.

But these three people still dare to take action, still dare to take action regardless of the situation, and regard themselves as gods. This is the Mamba spirit that Chen Xiao values ​​​​most.

Chen Xiao is willing to bear the consequences of the three of them for the sake of their Mamba mentality.

It doesn't matter, really, they now have the strength to play crazy games in the playoffs.

As long as they have their crazy moments.

Both Chen Xiao and Jordan are willing to wait.

Even if each of the three of them only has one or two crazy moments in this series, Chen Xiao and Jordan both think it is worth it.

As long as the three of them are not afraid of being madly criticized by the outside media and fans, Chen Xiao and Jordan will firmly support these three Bobcats' X factors.

There's no way the Bobcats could beat the Bucks in the series without the X factor.

Even if Chen Xiao cheats, it won't work.

After all, Chen Xiao is now out of the novice stage, and there are no longer many tools for him to cheat.

On April 29, 2006, the G3 game between the Bobcats and Bucks.

After the two teams' previous two games ended with a 1-1 score, this game became particularly important.

Xiaotianwang Mountain.

According to many American experts before the game, if the Bucks win this game, then the Bobcats should not think about this series. 1 to 4, this is for sure.

Although Chen Xiao and Jordan certainly wouldn't think that losing this game would mean a 1-4 loss, it has to be said that the opinions of these experts actually make a little bit of sense.

Why do you say that?

The main reason is morale.

After losing the last game, Bobcats player Heiba's momentum has indeed dropped a bit.

For example, before the game started, Xiaopao had already said to Chen Xiao: "I must practice three-pointers next season!"

For another example, Granger would say: "Next season I will definitely not just focus on learning to finish with Michael. I will also spend more time learning to handle the ball with him."

Etc., etc.

There is an atmosphere throughout the Bobcats team where everyone is setting the flag crazily.

Just like, after the war, I will come back and marry you.

You can hardly call this atmosphere a good atmosphere, although everyone seems to be full of fighting spirit.

In fact, everyone was a little downcast.

Of course, unless you are an iron man, it will be difficult not to be dejected when facing the Bucks who were so strong in the last game.

The Bucks made 15 of 33 three-pointers in the last game, almost beating the Bobcats.

And Ray Allen even made 11 of 20 in the three quarters, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 28 points in the game, but before he could use his full strength, the Bobcats fell.

At the same time, after the last game, public opinion across the United States was mocking the Bucks for being the worst team in the league.

After the last game, the national media began to ridicule the Bobcats players.

Especially Louis Williams, Jack and Monta Alice.

After all, the three of them played really poorly in the first two games.

Therefore, these three people already have a very shining nickname on the Chinese Internet and media.

For example, Monta Ellis, the Bobcats guard, is now nicknamed "Love Jordan" in China. The "Jordan" of the Bobcats is a strong player, but his style of play is very Jordan, and his confidence is also very Jordan. He threw the ball, and he really thought he was Jordan.

So much so that Chinese fans and audiences couldn't help but sigh: "How much he loves Jordan!"

Then, ‘Loving Jordan’ became Monta Alice’s nickname.

And Louis Williams, the small guard of the Bobcats, is nicknamed "Lu Baoshan" in China. This is a name given by a Shanghai netizen, because Louis Williams is the strongest of the three.

So a Shanghai netizen linked his nickname to the Baoshan Iron and Steel Works, which is quite fitting for the occasion.

Lou Williams shot 1-for-20 in the first two games. So far in the playoffs, he is the most iron-clad player, the most efficient player in making iron and making steel.

As for Jack, he is not as fierce as Louis Williams in blacksmithing, and he does not shoot as many shots as Monta Alice and Louis Williams. The point he is most complained about by fans is that he is too sticky to the ball.

You either pass it or throw it away. What does it mean when you carry it, carry it, and transport it?

In fact, Jack also wants to pass and attack.

But as the first brother in the playoffs, he wanted to pass the ball well, but the Bucks' defense was too good. He hesitated when he had no chance to pass the ball.

At the same time, he also wanted to throw it himself without throwing it away. However, he was not confident that he could make the shot against the Bucks' defense. He did not have the strong Mamba spirit of Ellis and Williams. In this case , he was also hesitant, and in the end he could only pass the blame to his teammates at the buzzer.

In fact, Jack really wanted to do well in the playoffs this time, but this junior brother who played in the playoffs for the first time really put too much pressure on himself.

Therefore, it would be fine if he could not show his strength and overcome the psychological hurdle.

But this made the domestic fans disgusted and gave him the nickname "Jia Buchuan".

The Chinese fan who gave him this nickname also expressed angrily: "Why can't Jarrett Jack learn from Mo Williams of the Cavaliers? Obviously the same style, watching the video of Mo Williams playing, it is very interesting." is it hard?

Mo Williams will pass when he needs to pass, and attack when he needs to attack. He will definitely not end up doing it for a long time and end up with "Mo doesn't pass"! "

I have to say that Xiao Mo is really deeply loved by the Chinese audience in the Cavaliers.

This defender, who is always centered on Chen Xiao, has a characteristic that is 'the ball is hot'.

As long as Chen Xiao is by his side, he will definitely hand the ball to Chen Xiao as soon as possible regardless of it, and then look at Chen Xiao with admiring eyes.

Those pious eyes are really enjoyable for the Chinese audience.

Therefore, every time the three Bobcats are compared with their Cavaliers or Nets teammates, it really makes the Chinese audience uncomfortable.

Even the small cannon makes them uncomfortable.

Well, the little cannon now also has a nickname, called ‘the cannon doesn’t throw’.

"Boss Ji was very strong in three-pointers at the beginning, but he dared to attack anyway. No matter how tough Boss Ji is, he has never been called 'Ji doesn't attack'!

When the team needs you to score 20 points, how come you, as the second-in-command, pass the entire 10 points and 10 assists there? ! "

I have to say that Xiaopao does have the problem of being too cautious in attacking.

In short, this is the feeling of the Chinese audience after the first two games.

And the audience here in the United States actually feels the same way.

Therefore, Terry Porter came to the away game this time in a very relaxed mood.

Especially when he saw Monta Alice, the controversial Bobcat player, starting again on the court in this game, Terry Porter was even more happy.

"The Bobcat is about to collapse!"

Haha, regret?

no way!

Terry Porter felt that he had some regrets in G1 or was too hasty.

I want to take back some of my hasty regrets.
