I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 571

With Chen Xiao's crazy performance of 60 points in a single game in the playoffs, the Bobcats defeated the Raptors 131 to 130 in a G1 contest with the Raptors.

The two teams actually scored such a big score in the regular season, which is rare even in the history of the NBA.

The five-man Raptors scored 20 points in this game, a miracle in the history of the NBA playoffs.

For the Bobcats, Chen Xiao scored 60 points, Roy scored 26 points, Aldridge scored 20 points, and Granger scored in double figures.

From a statistical point of view, Chen Xiao defeated the Raptors on his own.

However, from the perspective of the course of the game, whether it is Roy's 26 points in two quarters, the third quarter blasting the Raptors, or Aldridge's single quarter 5 of 5 are very important.

It can be said that not only Chen Xiao, Roy and Aldridge also played the best form of their career playoffs.

It may be difficult to say whether the Raptors paid all in this game, but...

For the Bobcats, this game can indeed be regarded as paying all.

This shows that the Raptors, the league's No. 1 team, are really strong.

Last season, the Raptors without Nelson were the nemesis of the Bobcats.

And now with the old Nelson...

Therefore, after the Bobcats and the Raptors played in G1, the bookmaker's odds for the Bobcats to advance did not rise but fell.

Yes, many people are not sure what the Bobcats will beat the Raptors in the next game.

Two days later, on May 8, 2008, the G2 Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bobcats and the Toronto Raptors continued at the Toronto Route Center.

In this game, the Raptors did not change the starting lineup. The old Nelson did not put Josh Smith in the starting line because of the failure of the last game. The old Nelson still insisted on the offensive strategy of the Bobcats.

I have to say that the old Nelson is indeed much more determined than D'Antoni in the face of difficulties.

In the last game between the Bobcats and the Raptors, there were many reasons why the Raptors lost the game. The Bobcats were full of players, and it was also related to the fact that the Raptors let the Bobcats steal too many rebounds in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats were on the team. In the fourth quarter of a game, Chen Xiao's crazy rush to kill, led to a lot of rebounds, so that the Bobcats with a super low shooting rate to keep the advantage of the score.

It stands to reason that the inside combination of Milicic and O'Neal is one of the strongest rebound protection combinations in the league, and even one of them can be removed.

So for the Raptors, it was a humiliation for the Bobcats to grab so many offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter of the last game.

So when the game of G2 came up, Milicic and O'Neal, the two insiders who felt that they were humiliated in the fourth quarter in the last game, showed a very strong desire to fight.

When the first quarter was over, the Raptors grabbed 17 rebounds in this quarter. Among them, Milicic and O'Neal each had 3 offensive rebounds. Many people know that the old Nelson's persistence. And gambling was successful.

There is no need to make changes to the Raptors' lineup. Relying on his motivation, the Raptors can overcome the huge problems that appeared in the fourth quarter of the last game.

Therefore, in the first quarter, driven by Milicic and O'Neal, who knows the shame and is brave, the Raptors can be described as crazy.

A total of 29 shots in the entire quarter, although the hit rate is not as high as the previous one, but 16 of 29, the single quarter still brushed a record 38 points.

The opposite Bobcats had a slight offensive problem after being exploded on a rebound.

Let's put it this way, when your rebounds cannot be effectively protected, you need to invest more energy to defend. When you miss the basketball, you must not get the offensive rebounds, so you don't when you shoot. There will be so much confidence.

Coupled with the defensive combination of Milicic and O'Neal, this group of insiders is really powerful.

So in the last game, Aldridge played 5 of 5 in a single quarter, and he actually scored 5 of 0 in the first quarter.

It can be seen how much inside pressure the Raptors put on the Bobcats in the first quarter of this game.

The single quarter was 38 to 22, and the Bobcats fell 16 points behind.

It can be said that G1 lost the Raptors at home and put the game into garbage time as soon as it came up.

And in the end, in this game, the Bobcats lost 100 to 120 to the Raptors by 20 points in the away game, which was a big defeat.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 8 of 15 and 4 of 7 three-pointers. He scored 23 points in three quarters.

In addition to Chen Xiao, Roy, Aldridge, Granger, Jack and Daniel Gibson scored in double figures.

It can be seen from the people who scored in double figures that the Bobcats players are not bad in this game.

The main reason for being hit in garbage time is that the rebounding gap between the two sides in this game is too big.

The Raptors grabbed 58 rebounds and 20 offensive rebounds in the game, while the Bobcats only had 26 rebounds.

How about this Nima's?

However, the Bobcats' loss in this game was not entirely without gain.

The Bobcats' backup point guard Daniel Gibson came off the bench in the garbage time of the fourth quarter, 5 of 7 in a single quarter, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and 15 points in a single quarter!

Originally the two teams finished the first three quarters, and the Bobcats were nearly 30 points behind.

Unexpectedly, Gibson took him back 10 points.

This Aldridge's college teammate and younger brother, after coming to the Bobcats, is basically like a transparent person. This playoffs is his first chance to get a trash-time main attack on the team. If the small guns don't go. , Livingston can't play without season reimbursement, even if it is garbage time, he can only play two or three minutes.

After all, Gibson's physical talent is not good, his skills are average, and his shooting is very good, but...

When Chen Xiao's younger brother Novak shot so much at Dior in college, would it be useful in the NBA and the playoffs?

Boss Joe doesn't like Gibson.

However, Gibson's system evaluation is not outstanding, and Chen Xiao's attention to him is limited.

But I didn't expect that this little guard actually had such a big heart.

I have to say that this harvest is a big surprise for the Raptors.

A role player with reliable three-point shooting ability is a very important strategic supplement for any team in the current league. It is very useful when the team is desperate.

After the Bobcats and the Raptors played in G2, the Raptors' inside advantage over the Bobcats made the entire NBA look awkward.

This is really no way. When the Bobcats and Randolph last season, the Raptors pressed the Bobcats on the rebound and the inside line.

It's normal to press the Bobcats like this now. The G1 Bobcats actually had a rebound advantage in the fourth quarter. That's abnormal. It's all because Chen Xiao and Roy gave everyone a shot of blood.

Chicken blood state is difficult to last.

So after the Bobcats and the Raptors played in G2, the NBA experts agreed that the Bobcats would be eliminated by the Raptors in five or six games.

Maybe the Bobcats will lose four consecutive games in the next game after their miraculous victory in G1.

In this atmosphere, the Bobcats returned to the G3 game against the Raptors on May 10th.

Before the start of this game, Jordan constantly emphasized the team's rebound control. In order to protect the rebound, the defense can be moderately contracted to bet on the Raptors outside player's feel.

Jordan can only choose one of the two poisons for the aggressive rebounding of the old Nelson G2.

I have to say that although Boss Joe is very good at gambling, his luck on the court is very good.

The outside feel of the Raptors in this game is also a real dish.

Nash, the Raptors with the most accurate three-pointers, made 0 of 4 three-pointers in a single game. The Raptors made 7 of 27 three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was just over 25%.

According to Jordan's pre-match arrangement, maybe the Bobcats can win another game with luck.

If there are no accidents.

However, the head coach of the Raptors this season is not D'Antoni, but Nelson.

How can there be no accidents in this game?

Jordan thinks that the G3 stadium transition is not good for the visiting team's feel. Would old Nelson think of it?

You Jordan will gamble on luck.

Will the old Nelson put the victory or defeat on luck?

If the old Nelson is really so conservative and law-abiding, then he is not the old Nelson.

In this G3, the Raptors did not feel good, but in the game, Milicic and O'Neal frantically looked for opportunities to play Bynum on the inside.

Although Bynum scored a record 5 blocks in this game, Bynum also only played 30 minutes before being beaten for six fouls.

As the only reliable center of the Bobcats, Bynum's departure is fatal for the Bobcats.

In the end, in order to prevent the Raptors' inside advantage, the Bobcats made crazy fouls in this game, sending 26 fouls in a single game, 10 more than the Raptors team.

This is still home court advantage. The head referee has been very merciful, otherwise the bobcat fouls that were blown up inside the game may explode.

In the end, in Game 3, the Bobcats lost to the Raptors 91-100 at home. In this game, Chen Xiao scored 13 of 25, scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks.

From Chen Xiao's data, it can be seen that after the Bobcats went down by Bynum, it was Chen Xiao who protected the frame under the basket.

This is too exhausting.

Although Chen Xiao did a good job, Milicic and O'Neal are not ordinary insiders after all.

O'Neal scored 32 points and 20 rebounds on 12 of 25 in this game, and Milicic scored 20 points and 14 rebounds on 7 of 17.

In this game, Nelson's targeted arrangement of the Bobcats almost maximized the Raptors' inside advantage.

Taking advantage of Aldridge's weakness that he cannot protect Bynum, he madly beats Bynum. As long as he keeps Bynum down, it is okay for the Raptors to pay any price.

Aldridge has worked very hard defensively this season, but his current defense, especially the protection of his inside partner, is still too weak.

"I have to say, old Nelson is not D'Antoni..."

At the end of the G3 game, Jordan also sighed for a while.

If it's D'Antoni, the Bobcats will definitely win this game.

On May 12, 2008, the Bobcats continued to play against the Raptors at home.

For the Raptors, before G4, there was a lot of praise.

Most people predict that the Raptors may sweep through four games and eventually qualify 4-1, and this is also the best result for the Raptors. The Raptors are the first in the league in the regular season, and even the first two games are confirmed. In order to compete for MVP for Nash, he did not take a break but fought for 70 wins. After all, it was 70 wins. Even if there is no MVP competition for Nash, no one will be willing to give up easily.

Moreover, the Raptors also feel that they can get a chance to rest in the first round of playing the Bulls.

It's just that no one thought that the Bulls would be so difficult to fight, they almost capsized in the gutter, and finally didn't dare to take a break in this round.

And now, they finally got a chance, as long as they beat the Bobcats 4-1, they can still get a chance to rest before the battle with the Heat.

Of course, for the Bobcats, G4 can be said to be their last chance.

The game was lost and the score was 1 to 3. It is impossible for the Bobcats to continue to win back in G5 and the Raptors' home court.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, in G4, Jordan made the most significant adjustment to the Bobcats in this series.

Jordan took Aldridge from the starting lineup, and at the same time, took Shane Battier into the starting lineup.

And Chen Xiao is the team's power forward.

Well, when you're desperate, you will change positions for Chen Xiao. This is the final core tactic of Boss Qiao.

I have to say that this tactic of Boss Joe has been complained by Barkley, but it is still effective in terms of results.

The Bobcats, which had collapsed in the first two games, were under control after Chen Xiao became the power forward.

Chen Xiao playing power forward and Bynum partner, may not be able to gain an advantage on the inside.

Chen Xiao is definitely stronger than O'Neal and has a larger offensive area. O'Neal must not be able to prevent Chen Xiao. However, O'Neal is not an ordinary insider after all. This power forward who has not been injured like in history is still there. At the peak, strength is a superstar, and Chen Xiao may not be able to gain the advantage simply at the basket.

However, for the Bobcats, the inside combination of Chen Xiao and Bynum does not need to have an advantage over the two insides.

Even if the two insiders compete against the Bobcats slightly weaker, Battier, Granger and Roy have super-strong height and weight athletic ability.

As long as Chen Xiao and Bynum are under control, Battier, Granger, and Roy can rush to grab them.

Therefore, the Bobcats, whose rebounds in the first two games were battered, actually grabbed 56 rebounds in Game 4, while the opposite Raptors only had 38.

In this case, the Bobcats actually got back a game 114 to 110 in such adversity and beat the big score to 2 to 2!

The Bobcats pulled back a city and beat the big score to 2 to 2, but Jordan knew that the Bobcats were still at stake.

Chen Xiao played inside, and his opponents were opponents like O'Neal and Milicic. This was a huge physical drain on Chen Xiao.

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 11 of 23, scored 30 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. The data was comprehensive and his performance was really good, but it greatly affected Chen Xiao's offensive power.

The audience played Milicic and O'Neal head-to-head, and let Chen Xiao cut 40, 50, or even 60 in a game. This was too harsh.

The Bobcats won this game thanks to Roy's 9-of-20 game, 28 points and 9 assists, Granger, Battier, Bynum and Gibson scored in double figures.

If the other players of the Bobcats don't have enough support, and Chen Xiao can't attack with all his strength in order to stabilize the inside line, then even if the Bobcats stabilize the inside line, they will be suffocated by the Raptors.

And can the Bobcats players provide enough support to Chen Xiao like this game?

Jordan is sure that this is impossible.

Of course, the end of this G4 game is also very detrimental to the Raptors.

Although the Raptors still steadily occupy the initiative in this series, this series has been dragged to at least G6.

On the other side, the Heat have led the Nets 3-1 and are in sight.

In this series with the Bobcats, the Raptors, who needed the most rest, still didn't get any chance to rest.

Moreover, from the point of view of the G4 game, how could the old Nelson fail to see that the Bobcats have the possibility of defeating the Raptors.

After all, the Bobcats still have a home court!

I have to say that the old Nelson's prediction is still very accurate.

In G5 on May 14th, the Raptors returned to the home court and used two overtime to defeat the Bobcats 125-120 at home with difficulty.

In this game, the Bobcats really couldn't support Chen Xiao like G4, but Roy scored 32 points and 8 assists in this game, and also played 40 minutes.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, played 55 minutes of the game, 15 of 32, 14 of 19 free throws, and 44 points and 25 rebounds.

In this game, Chen Xiao did not shoot a single three-pointer.

It's not that Chen Xiao didn't want to, but that O'Neal was pulling too aggressively. The home court advantage does not need to be overdue. As long as he is not frantic like Bynum, a veteran like O'Neal is of course a master of scale.

Although the Bobcats did not win this game, the Raptors won very tragically.

This directly led to the G6 on May 16, two days later, the Raptors team was in a sluggish state and was beaten by the Bobcats 120 to 106 in Charlotte.

It can be seen from this game that in the long run, the Raptors have been in decline.

But in the short term, the garbage time of this game gave the Raptors a short break.

In this big win over the Raptors, in addition to Chen Xiao's 30 points in three quarters, Gibson was the other one who scored 20 points. This kid made 7 of 8 in a single game, 6 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and won. 25 points, at the same time, he only played 25 minutes, the efficiency is almost exploded!

This kid is a very unexpected help to Chen Xiao in this series.

While the Bobcats pulled the big score to 3 to 3, this series also ushered in the cruel tiebreaker.

In fact, this series is not only the Raptors ushered in a tipping point.

In fact, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Bobcat has already reached a tipping point.

The Raptors had just seen the residual blood, and the Lynx had already had the residual blood.

This is true whether it is Chen Xiao or Roy or other starters, otherwise Jordan would not reuse Gibson so quickly.

On May 18, the G7 of the Bobcats and the Raptors.

There is no miracle. Under the leadership of Nash, the Raptors at home all scored in double figures and defeated the Bobcats 128 to 118 at home.

At the end of the game, Chen Xiao sighed and regretted. In 48 minutes, the audience had 38 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. They all tried their best.

The old Nelson looked at the sweaty Raptors players on the court, his heart was dripping blood.

"This is a series of all winners!

This is also a series without a winner! "
