I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 316

The Cavaliers' nine-game winning streak ended in the first game in February.

On February 3, 2003, the Cavaliers were second in the away game in the East and second in the league, and the Heat lost 88 to 100 away, giving up the first position in the league that they had just won.

Carlisle, the head coach of the Cavaliers, is still rehearsing the formation in this game.

To be honest, the Cavaliers have played a game with the Heat this season, and Carlisle did not find a way to deal with the Heat in that game.

For Carlisle, if the Cavaliers want to win this season, they need to rush out of the East.

This season, the Eastern Conference team, as long as anyone can rush out of the Eastern Conference, that is the best candidate for the championship.

This is not a joke.

The Eastern Conference team is really strong this season.

The six teams led by the Magic, Heat and the Four Madness, this season it really killed the entire league.

Even the very strong Pistons and Pacers in the previous seasons have been firmly pressed into the top eight edges of the Eastern Conference this season.

The top eight positions in the Eastern Conference this season are firmly held by the Cavaliers, Magic, Heat, Raptors, Nets, and Bucks.

The top six are these six teams, the difference is that the rankings are always different.

Therefore, the Cavaliers' championship opponents this season are these five teams.

The Magic, Nets, Raptors, Bucks, these four teams, regardless of the outcome of the match, in short, the Cavaliers have a way to play against these four teams.

It is indeed possible to find a way.

Whether it's a five-five or other open, in short, the Cavaliers have a winning rate against these four teams, and it is not low. In addition, the team has Chen Xiao, a player who is extremely good at creating miracles, to be honest. Yes, playing these four teams, Carlisle is quite sure.

As long as the final puzzle can be completed, these four teams should be said to have a great deal of confidence.

But the Heat are different.

To play this team, Carlisle really has no way, at least, he has not found any way yet.

The regular season has played two games with the Heat, and his chances of testing in the regular season are running out.

In this game, Carlisle used Chen Xiao to play center, Dior power forward, James small forward, Barnes shooting guard, Hardaway point guard, and the Cavaliers lost in almost three quarters.

Regardless of the fact that the Cavaliers lost 12 points at 88 to 100 in this game, the Cavaliers really had no chance in this game. After the third quarter, they basically lost.

In the first half, the Cavaliers actually led by 3 points 54 to 51, but Hardaway collapsed in the third quarter, and then the Cavaliers collapsed, losing to the Heat 15 to 26 in a single quarter.

For the five players in the five-front tactic, there really can't be people who collapsed, otherwise, there will be a gap in the entire big net.

And Yao Ming's damage to the five front tactics is too great.

In addition, you have also made a gap, isn't it just a collapse?

However, judging from the first half of this game, the five forwards still have an effect on the Heat.

At the very least, for the first time in these two seasons, the Cavaliers led the Heat in the first half.

To be honest, in these two seasons, the Heat are really the Cavaliers' masters.

In short, if the hypothesis proves that the five-front tactic is useful for the Heat, then Hardaway's gap becomes particularly important.

The Cavaliers' second, third, or third or fourth swingman is really going to drive Carlisle crazy.

Of course, before Carlisle was driven mad, Cavaliers general manager Paxson must have been driven mad first.

"Rick, we are not a player, even if we send out this year's draft pick for the Knicks, we won't be able to exchange for a swingman who meets your requirements!"

To be fair, in this alliance, there is a shortage of good swingers, and those who are good offensive and defensive are even more lacking, and those who are good offensive and defensive are even more lacking.

Such swingers are not for sale by their respective teams. Even if the Cavaliers use this year's draft pick for the Knicks, they cannot be exchanged.

The Knicks are now eighth from the bottom in the league. In this position, the Knicks' draft picks are actually on the edge of the lottery.

If you say yes, it must be good, but it is not so good either.

Even if the Cavaliers' first-round pick were sent out together, it is really difficult for the Cavaliers to switch to a good swingman who meets the requirements of the Cavaliers.

Paxson knows Carlisle's urgency, and there are only two games left with the Heat this season.

But he can't help it.

You can't make it out of nothing, right?

Losing to the Miami Heat in the away game, the Cavaliers gave up their first positions in the league and the Eastern Conference.

At the same time, he dropped from first in the league to third in the league.

It seems that on February 3rd, the Cavaliers are still very unlucky.

In fact, this day, the Cavaliers are not without good news.

Chen Xiao, who led the Cavaliers with 13 wins and 2 losses last month, finally averaged 33 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks, and another Cavaliers player who averaged 26.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10.4 assists. Jen, who had 2.5 steals and 1 block, tied for last month's Eastern Conference Player of the Month.

However, this month's best C-level potential card of the month, Chen Xiao is useless.

Now Chen Xiao and Raheem are learning the footsteps of the basket and throwing shots. Maybe he needs a potential card to quickly improve his strength.

Chen Xiao's current D-level experience card is a bit overflowing, but C-level is still very lacking.

In addition, on February 3rd, the league's 2005 Eastern and Western All-Star debut was also released.

For the Cavaliers, both Chen Xiao and James were selected as the starters.

This time the Eastern Conference's starting lineup is center Yao Ming, forward Chen Xiao, Carter, and guards are James and Wade.

The starting lineup on the western side is center O'Neal, forward Garnett, Grant Hill, and guards are Kobe and Rogo.

There are two points in this All-Star start.

The biggest highlight is of course Grant Hill, who missed the entire season last season, was once again selected as the All-Star starter.

The Mavericks forward player received more than 1.4 million votes in the All-Star Game, second only to Garnett's 2.1 million votes, 1.1 million votes for Yi Jianlian, 850,000 votes for Nowitzki, and 660,000 votes for Anthony. superior.

I have to say that although I took a full year off, Grant Hill's popularity in the United States is really the best.

The second highlight is that Wade and Luo Ge both become the starters of the All-Star for the first time.

Luo Ge's competition in the West is too small, the boss of Kee is now struggling with the Lakers, and Luo himself is also fighting, and has been ranked second in the West with the Spurs.

As for Wade, Wade's starter, I have to talk more about it, Iverson's 1.6 million votes, Ray Allen's 1.58 million votes, plus Nash's 1.2 million votes, these are all powerful enemies.

Wade can win with 1.65 million votes, it is really not easy.

Ray Allen is very popular in the United States because of the three-pointer rain and the crazy offensive style of the Bucks.

Lei Zhentian, do you think it's a joke?

By the way, Lei Zhentian was given the nickname by Teacher Zhang and Chinese fans. Well, in China, Lei Allen is also quite popular.

Major Ray Allen and the Bucks play so beautifully.

Chen Xiao is now a fan of Ray Allen.

Seriously, anyone who watched Ray Allen's crazy three-point shooting game and said he didn't like it, that's not a basketball fan.

Chen Xiao also wanted to learn, but his wingspan was too long and his shooting speed was too slow. If he couldn't learn, he really couldn't learn.

When you have grown up, don't think about things like this.

And Iverson, not to mention, has cultivated a large number of diehards over the years.

Therefore, in the lingering entanglement with Ray Allen Iverson, and finally relying on the greater foundation of the Chinese fans to defeat Ray Allen and Iverson to become the All-Star starters, Wade cried with excitement.

"Chen, I understand. Chinese fans are now the key to the All-Star start. I want to learn Chinese!"

Boy, you just found out.

Xiao Zhan's Mandarin now has a 'yancheng flavor'.

So, Xiaotai, how much later you know!

A king bomb is really taken apart!

You deserved it to be your first All-Star starting in your third season!

In addition to these two highlights, the third highlight of this All-Star is that the Jazz young power forward Yi Jianlian actually ranks third in the forward position after Garnett and Grant Hill.

Although Yi Jianlian played well in the Jazz this season, averaging 8+6 per game, but this stat is okay as a 20-year-old rookie. Isn't this nonsense to suppress Nowitzki and Anthony?

I have to say that the influence of Chinese fans is real Dior.

If it weren't for Grant Hill to pay this season, maybe Yi Jianlian could make the All-Star starter.

Yi Jianlian was relieved to fail to make the All-Star start in the end.

Such an All-Star starter, to be honest, he dare not want it, nor does he want it.

Since the All-Star debut this time has three major points and two points, of course there is also one of the biggest noise points.

That is, as the defending champion, the Magic, now ranked second in the league, has no starters.

Duncan and Tracy McGrady are third and fourth among forwards.

Duncan and McGrady did not have enough votes, but Chen Xiao and Carter were too strong.

However, although it can't be a starter, there is definitely no problem with Duncan and Tracy McGrady's substitutes for the All-Stars.

By the way, the start of the All-Star selection this time is Chen Xiao's third All-Star start.

Yao Ming is also the third All-Star starter.

For Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, this time the All-Star debut is not so unusual.

Of course, for Chinese fans and spectators, this is still a matter of national celebration.

When Chen Xiao and Yao Ming made the All-Star starters for the third time, no one in the US said they were unworthy anymore.

Now in the United States, no one really says that Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are not worthy of the All-Star starters.

But there are still some who are not convinced.

On February 4, 2004, the Cavaliers returned to the home game against the Magic. In this game, the Magic played on the away game very 'excited'.

Especially the outside super giant McGrady of the Magic.

The Cavaliers were almost dismantled by the Heat yesterday. The game was dismantled by the Magic brought by McGrady.

122 to 111, the Cavaliers lost at home in this game.

In fact, the state of the Cavaliers in this game is very good.

Although tired is a bit tired, but everyone's game state is good.

Counting Chen Xiao, James, Raheem, Xiao Mo, Barry, all five of the team scored in double figures.

It's just that the magic that can't stand the opposite is stronger, and McGrady is even more crazy.

In this game, the Magic's McGrady made 17 of 35 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, and scored 46 points.

To be honest, Medina and Chen Xiao are almost exactly the same height and wingspan. No one in the Cavaliers can guard him. He wants to make a move, and he can only limit it as much as possible.

In this game, Xiao Zhan actually worked very hard in defense, but he just made it. What can you do?

In the United States, many people say that McGrady's talent was born for basketball, and it's really not a casual statement.

Why doesn't anyone in the US say that Chen Xiao's talent was born for basketball?

Of course it is because Chen Xiao does not have the skills of McGrady.

Chen Xiao and McGrady have similar body shapes, and their static talents are almost exactly the same.

But Chen Xiao's shooting is good, his strength is good, and his defense is also better.

And McGrady, that's good technology, very, very good.

Especially compared to the two rough brothers Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, McGrady's technology is a good flying level.

As a basketball player, your skills are not good enough, you can hardly say that your talent was born for basketball.

Of course, Chen Xiao is better than Xiao Zhan.

Chen Xiao's shooting skills are good and his shots are picturesque.

It's okay to be rough before shooting, and it's okay to shoot picturesquely.

And Xiao Zhan... silently mourned and didn't cry.

Ahem, Xiao Zhan's shooting moves are also quite distinctive, haha.

On February 4, after losing to the Magic at home, the Cavaliers rested at home for four days. On February 8, the Toronto Raptors, now fifth in the East, challenged.

The Cavaliers had lost to the Raptors before this season. The Cavaliers were too tired in that game and eventually lost the game against the Raptors.

In this game, the Cavaliers rested for four days, of course, they are fighting for revenge.

For the Raptors, who are also the Four Madness in the East, the Cavaliers are very serious in this game.

Chandler, Chen Xiao, James, Korver, Xiao Mo, this starter is definitely the Cavaliers' best run and most crazy starter.

On the Raptors side, it is center Milicic, power forward Marshall, small forward Josh Smith, shooting guard Lagabell, and point guard Nash.

Neither Chen Xiao nor James played point guards in this game.

The reason is, of course, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of Nash.

Just kidding, I'm afraid I'm not afraid. I just can't prevent Nash. Isn't it a waste to put yourself in front of Nash?

The Raptors will not let Nash defend Chen Xiao and James when defending.

Under the leadership of Nash this season, the Raptors have performed very well. However, at the beginning of this game, the Cavaliers, who have been so long and sturdy for so long, took the lead with a 33-24 lead to the Raptors by 9 points. This In one game, Chen Xiao scored 4 and 12 points in 5, James 9 scored 4 and 8 points. It was fair. In this quarter, Xiao Mo chased Nash and defended Nash with a 3-for-0. The whole quarter was taken by free throws. 1 point is truly shocking.

However, Nash is indeed Nash. In the second quarter, Nash quickly found an offensive state. He made 6 of 8 in a single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and returned with 14 points in a single quarter. The Raptors went 36-31 in the second quarter.

Judging from the score in the second quarter, the Cavaliers had no problem playing in the second quarter.

Mainly the Raptors' own dream.

The Cavaliers made 15 of 26 in the second quarter, 57.7% of their field goal percentages and 50% of their three-pointers. Is that enough?

But the Suns are shooting 70% and 60% of the three-pointers!

"This is the game between the Four Madnesses in the East. Offensively, any magical things can happen!"

At the end of the game halftime, even Teacher Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

The four crazy four teams in the East have gone crazy offensively, and that really can't be done.

Especially the Raptors and Bucks.

To be honest, the Cavaliers and the Nets are not the most crazy offensive. Among the four crazy, the Cavaliers offense is actually the last one, stronger than the Nets.

The Nets have the strongest overall offensive and defensive strength of the Four Madness, with 93 offensive and 93 defensive.

In fact, the overall strength of the offense and defense of the four madness is the second, 90 offensive, 90 defense.

Among the Four Madnesses, the Raptors are the first in offense, with 95 offensive and 85 defensive.

The Bucks are tied for first offense and worst defensively, with 95 offensive and 80 defensive.

The Cavaliers have a high offensive cap this season, but the Raptors have the highest cap.

The Raptors and Bucks are the teams that can produce any magical offensive data in the NBA this season.

The first half of the game against the Raptors ended, and the Cavaliers at home had a 64-61 lead by 3 points.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers and the Raptors played a 30-30, and the Cavaliers continued to enter the fourth quarter with a three-point advantage.

In the fourth quarter, after Milicic's first attack with two points in the opening, Xiaozhan assisted Raheem to make a 96-91. The Cavaliers extended the lead to 5 points in this game.

Raheem then caused a foul by Jalen Rose, hitting two free throws, 98 to 91, and the score continued to expand.

At this time, the Raptors replaced Nash in advance.

After that, the game suddenly changed.

From 10 minutes and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Nash played just five minutes to 5 minutes and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Raptors led by Nash surpassed the score 107 to 106!

Even if Chen Xiao played early with 9 minutes left in the game, he couldn't stop the Raptors from chasing points and could only delay it.

But after that, the two teams fell into crazy anxiety.

In the end, in this incredible offensive battle, the away Raptors defeated the Cavaliers 125-123 away.

Nash hit an almost buzzer mid-range shot with 2 seconds left in the game, leading the team beyond 125 to 123.

In the last two seconds, the Raptors crazily flicked Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao had difficulty connecting the ball. In the end, the Cavaliers called two timeouts because they couldn't serve the ball. Chen Xiao made a sideline kick.

Chen Xiao's sideline ball was sent to Xiao Mo's hand. This was the choice of the assist experience card. Xiao Mo who was outside the three-point line adjusted a little and was blocked by Milicic, who was madly rushing out.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost.

Chen Xiao has experienced many failures using the score experience card.

This time, it was the first time to use the assist experience card to fail.

125 to 123, the Cavaliers suffered a three-game losing streak, the time entered into February, the Cavaliers have not won the ball.

But this is also related to the fact that the opponent is too strong.

The Raptors in this game are really amazing.

Nash scored 12, 33 points and 17 assists in 20. You know, Nash scored 1 point in the first quarter, and the other 32 points were all the last three quarters. Among them, the fourth quarter scored 11 points and 7 assists, which was an explosion.

In addition, Milicic made 11 of 18, 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Josh Smith also scored 8 of 20 in this game, scoring 19 points and 16 rebounds.

Marshall was 4 of 9 and scored 8 points with five three-pointers under Chen Xiao's defense.

But Jalen Rose was 9 of 18 and scored 22 points.

This season, Milicic and rookie Josh Smith played a key role in the Raptors.

As for the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao scored 13 of 20 and scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Xiao Zhan scored 9 of 22, scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.

As core players, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan also performed very well.

In addition, Raheem also scored 23 points in 8 out of 15.

Xiao Mo and Korbari also made a total of 8 three-pointers.

As a role player, the Cavaliers' role players are not bad.

The team shot 51% of the field and 60% of the three-pointers. What else can you choose?

The Cavaliers' offensive performance in this game has reached its limit.

The only reason for losing is that the Cavaliers' offense is not as strong as the Raptors' offense.

Of course, the final loss is only a few cents.

After losing to the Raptors, the league announced a new MVP ranking.

In the top few places at this time is Wade, who ranked first, leading the Heat to the league's first place.

The second is Chen Xiao and James, who led the Cavaliers to third in the league.

The fourth is Duncan of the Magic

The fifth is Nash of the Raptors.

The sixth is Ray Allen of the Bucks.

The seventh is Carter of the Nets.

Ron Howard of the Spurs, O'Neal of the Suns, Tracy McGrady of the Magic, and Kobe of the Lakers followed closely behind.

It can be seen that this season's championship is likely to be the contention of the top six teams in the East.

The regular season MVP is likely to be the same, this year's regular season MVP competition looks very intense and exciting.

After the Cavaliers lost at home to the Raptors, before the All-Stars, the Cavaliers also had four teams including the Nuggets, Hawks, Lakers and Timberwolves.

In these four games, the Cavaliers finally found a sense of victory.

Except for a back-to-back away game and a loss in the icy Minnesota, the other three games were won.

In 52 games before the All-Star, the Cavaliers achieved an excellent record of 42 wins and 10 losses ~www.mtlnovel.com~ This record has been ranked third in the league and third in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Heat and Magic. .

After losing to the Timberwolves in the away game, Chen Xiao left Minnesota with James and the Cavaliers players who were going to participate in this All-Star Weekend and went to Denver.

Now the entire NBA league has entered the festive atmosphere of the All-Star.

But the management of the Cavaliers, at this time, it is really a bit sad.

Because there is only one week left before the trading deadline!

When Paxson was desperate, a strange and familiar call came in.

"Hey, Jim, this is Michael, Michael Jordan."
