I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the NBA playoffs, being behind 0-3 means what it means. Fans who know a little bit about the NBA will know it very well.

The Magic's playoff run this season is over after losing this game.

So, in this G3 game, when the Bobcats completely turned the score with Chen Xiao in the fourth quarter, the live broadcaster was already giving the Magic a picture.

I have to say that on TV, the expressions of the players of the Magic team are indeed quite uncomfortable and painful after being magnified and inspected, and most of their eyes are also that kind of lifeless eyes.

This is completely different from when they defeated the 74-win Heat in the last series to advance.

This kind of feeling that makes people feel painful just by looking at it does make people feel sympathy.

But more people actually still party...

When the Magic eliminated the Heat in the last series, these people were the heroes they personally promoted, and when they faced the impending defeat, these people were also the first to reach out to him.

Just like the Heat who just won 74 wins.

Human beings are always so 'simple' sometimes.

In fact, most of Duncan and the Magic players are relatively low-key and can be regarded as indifferent players in the NBA.

But, who cares?

When they party, they never look at whether you are low-key or whether your achievements are great.

Historically, after the Tokyo Olympics, even Zhu Ting was hacked, which shows that there are no people in the world who will not be hacked.

Therefore, after the end of G3 with the Bobcats, the Magic players not only felt the desperate pressure brought by the Bobcats on the court, but also felt the tremendous pressure from off the court.

Things are tough for the Magic right now.

It's so sad that one wonders if they have completely lost confidence in winning the fourth game.

On May 27, 2007, the Bobcats won the third game of this series on the road. On the 28th, they continued to stay in Orlando to prepare for G4 with the Magic on the 29th.

After winning G3, the Bobcats are fully capable of giving up G4 and bringing the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony to Charlotte.

After all, the Charlotte Bobcats are about to win their first Eastern Conference championship in franchise history.

Bobcats fans are really looking forward to the Bobcats playing in G4.

However, the public opinion outside is like this, and Jordan was indeed very proficient in the essence of letting go when he was a player.

However, the Bobcats' opponent is not any other team, but the Magic.

This is a team that was considered the best team in history before the game.

With every additional game played, the Magic will have one more opportunity to adjust.

The Magic have enough strength to adjust a strategy that can compete with the Bobcats.

Rivers does not have this ability, but the Magic's coaching staff and tactical analysts do.

In this game of G3, the Magic actually caused some troubles for the Bobcats, so Jordan can't guarantee that the next adjustment of the Magic will not continue to cause trouble for the Bobcats.

Simply put, the Magic's hard power is still strong and they have a lot of room for adjustment.

Faced with such an opponent, they can always be eliminated early, so don't keep them. If you keep them, you will definitely have endless troubles.

And now is when the Magic are at their weakest.

Under the double blow on and off the court, if they are allowed to survive, the Bobcats may be facing a completely reborn Magic team.

Therefore, don't look at the speculation outside that the Bobcats may win the championship this season.

But under the leadership of Chen Xiao and Jordan, the Bobcats players dare not be careless, especially at this time.

By the way, why is public opinion in the United States now starting to speculate that the Bobcats are the biggest favorites for the championship?

Isn't this obvious?

So far this season, the six teams that are considered to have super team strength are the Heat, Magic, Bobcats, Nets, Raptors and Spurs.

Now the Heat, Nets, Raptors and Spurs are kneeling, and the Magic are about to be taken away by the Bobcats.

Of the six major super teams, only one is left: the Bobcats.

And the Bobcats have an advantage in the regular season, whether against the Lakers or against the Suns.

Therefore, no matter who enters the finals, the Lakers or the Suns, it seems that they are not the opponents of the Bobcats, and it seems that they are sent to the Bobcats.

This is what the expert media and viewers think, definitely not what the players and teams think.

After playing to such a level in one season, who doesn't want to win the final championship?

When the game has not started, who dares to say that he can definitely beat the opponent?

According to the perspective of these people, the Heat and Magic should have been the championship long ago.

If these people's perspectives and theories are correct, the Bobcats will not be able to turn at all.

Now that it's the Bobcats' turn, it's also possible for the Lakers and Suns to be there.

So, don't look at the outside hype that both the Lakers and the Suns will be sent to the Finals, but in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Suns, the two teams played a very high intensity of confrontation.

In the previous three contests, when the Lakers lost one game first, relying on Kobe's super singles performance in two consecutive games, the Lakers won two games in a row.

Kobe, who came out of the shadow of O'Neal's mouth, was indeed quite lethal to the Suns' perimeter defense.

Therefore, after the Lakers led 2 to 1, many people have seen this OK contest, and the result may be completely different.

Faced with such a situation, for the first time in G4, O'Neal did not provoke public opinion and talk about "Kobe's singles hurt the team" before the game.

It's no longer useful, Kobe has really come out.

For O'Neill, his mouth to cheat Kobe is not only a psychological warfare, but mainly to humiliate Kobe and anger Kobe.

He was telling Kobe and the world that even if he wasn't focused, Kobe couldn't beat him.

I have to say that O'Neill is really good at killing subjects and killing hearts.

However, with a big score of 1 to 2 behind, it must be impossible to continue to lose focus.

So, in the Western Conference finals on May 28, Chen Xiao, Jordan and Bobcats players saw the omnipotent shark in the penalty area for the first time this season.

Turn Gasol and David West on their backs, a fierce shark.

It is Stoudemire who has been leading the sun this season. In fact, O'Neal rarely played such a brutal game this season.

Kobe Bryant's outside attack on the Suns was huge.

And O'Neal's advantage over the Lakers inside looks even bigger.

Especially when Kobe is not very good at three-pointers.

Kobe and O'Neal's damage to each other's teams, in the end which one is greater, the fight is efficiency.

It's hard to compare to O'Neal in efficiency.

If O'Neal is physically strong enough.

At the very least, in this game, O'Neal did more damage to the inside of the Lakers than Kobe did to the outside of the Suns.

Therefore, the result of this game is that the Suns beat the Los Angeles Lakers 107 to 98 at home.

After this G4 game, the Lakers and Suns also came to a big score of 2 to 2.

This is a very complicated score.

Many people thought that the Lakers could make it to the Finals before, but now they seem to be unstable again.

No, from the perspective of G4, O'Neal, who scored 36 points in the game, made people feel that the Suns even seemed to have a better chance.

At least from the commentary, it can be seen that now everyone seems to be optimistic about the sun again.

"Chen, which team do you think can advance in this series?"

Jordan smiled and looked at Chen Xiao next to him and asked expectantly.

"Lakers."

Chen Xiao had almost no doubts.

"Why? Because you're a Kobe fan?"

After this game, everyone is actually more optimistic about the Suns.

Of course, everyone will definitely not have Jordan.

"This is just one of them, the main thing is..."

Chen Xiao paused for a while and continued: "The series between the Lakers and the Suns showed me the two series between us and the Raptors and the Nets. Because the Suns underestimated the Lakers, they gave the Lakers two games. In the victory of the game, although the Suns are stronger than the Lakers, they can no longer sustain such a handicap in two games. In the end, the Lakers may even advance 4-2 with a high probability."

"yes."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Hero Jordan nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiao's words are actually easy to understand.

The game between the Lakers and the Suns ended on May 28, and the next game was to fly to the Lakers to play G5 on May 30. O'Neal played for 40 minutes in this game. How much energy can he have in the next game?

O'Neill's age, can he recover so well?

O'Neal's age, can he fight two games in a row?

However, the Suns are now 2-2. If the Suns want to advance, O'Neal must play two games in a row.

If O'Neal wins the next game, then G6 O'Neal can adjust, G7 will win with a high probability, and the Suns will advance.

If O'Neal loses the next game, then G6 has to continue to fight. If there is G7, G7 has to continue to fight. This is not two games in a row, but three or four games in a row. If you lose the next game, there is a high probability that the series will end in 6 games.

Because they gave away two games before, the Suns gave up their own error-tolerance opportunities and O'Neal's adjustment space.

Phil Jackson of the Lakers clearly saw this in this game. In this game, he fought against O'Neal crazily in order to consume O'Neal.

If this series starts from scratch and the Suns are serious from the beginning, the Lakers are indeed unlikely to be the Suns' opponents.

However, when Kobe came out of his psychological shadow and the Suns gave up two games without taking it seriously, the situation was completely different.

The Raptors restrained the Bobcats, and the Nets restrained the Bobcats, just like the Suns restrained the Lakers.

But by mistake, the Raptors and Nets gave the Bobcats one and two more games, and these two teams missed the opportunity to advance.

And the sun, too.

And this is where the NBA playoffs are brutal.

When you want to humiliate your opponent because you underestimate him, you have to be prepared to be beaten instead.

Here, there is no so-called real weak.

Because even if the player here is the worst, he is still one of the strongest players in the world.

They are poor, not because their abilities are poor, but because they are slightly worse than others.

Therefore, from the trend of this series between the Lakers and Suns, Chen Xiao and Jordan once again realized a truth.

In the playoffs, you must not do something like handing over victory to others easily.

Especially as O'Neal said when he lost two games in a row: "The whole world knows that we were adjusting in G2 and G3."

This is particularly important. If you adjust and adjust, you will end up adjusting yourself no more.

After watching the game between the Lakers and the Suns, Chen Xiao and Jordan conveyed their thoughts and summary of the game to all the Bobcat players.

The meaning is obvious, that is, I hope the Bobcats players will tighten up.

Don't look at the nonsense of hoping that the Bobcats' first Eastern Conference championship will be more ritualistic at home.

As a player, unless you have absolute strength, there is absolutely nothing wrong with respecting the game.

If you don't respect the game enough, you will get backlash like the Suns and O'Neal did, and be forced into a desperate situation.

After Chen Xiao and Jordan unified the minds of the Bobcats players, the morale of the Bobcats team once again rose.

On May 29, 2007, the Bobcats and Magic continued to play G4 at Amway Arena.

Before the start of this game, because many Bobcats fans asked the Bobcats to bring the game to Charlotte on the Internet, many people predicted that the Bobcats would play a game before the game.

However, after the game started, the Bobcats' hunger for the game seemed like G1 of this series.

As soon as the Bobcats came up, they fought very, very fiercely!

Especially on the offensive end.

In the last game, Duncan took care of him and taught him a lesson. Randolph did not stop attacking in this game and focus on defense as many people expected.

On the contrary, in this game Jordan not only continued to let Randolph attack, but also made Randolph attack like crazy!

Don't think that Randolph's lack of efficiency in attacking Duncan means nothing.

On the contrary, only if Randolph consumes Duncan enough on offense, Duncan will have no chance to save the Magic on the offensive end!

I have to say that Boss Qiao’s understanding and sense of the game are simply amazing.

Therefore, in the first quarter of this game, Randolph took 9 shots in a single quarter!

3 out of 9, the hit rate is not high, it should be said to be quite low, but Randolph used his big butt to keep Duncan by his side and constantly fight, entangle, and consume himself.

Yes, Randolph's offensive method is also quite physically demanding on defensive players.

Duncan can't bear it if he keeps doing this every time.

Therefore, in the first quarter of this game, Duncan took 2 offensive shots and hit 1 goal. In addition, Duncan actually made 4 turnovers in the first quarter.

And most of them are mistakes on the offensive end!

Randolph played too hard in the first quarter of this game!

While on defense, Duncan was almost knocked out of breath by Randolph.

On the offensive end, he is needed to help Ginobili handle the ball. In the Magic's offense, the ball basically has to pass through Duncan's hands.

This gave Randolph and Duncan another opportunity to tangle.

Although Duncan's physical fitness is not a weakness.

However, no matter how easy it is, he still played seven games against the Heat. What's more, Randolph is heavier and consumes more energy, which is actually not very beneficial to Duncan.

There is a lot of meat on one side, which can be used as a buffer during hand-to-hand combat. Anyone who has fought with a fat man knows how uncomfortable it is to fight and wrestle with a fat man.

Therefore, under Jordan's desperate and crazy tactics, although the Bobcats' offensive efficiency was not high in the first quarter, they grabbed 13 rebounds in a single quarter, of which 6 were offensive rebounds. Grabbed 7 rebounds.

Therefore, even though the Bobcats scored 24 points in 24 shots in the first quarter, they still led the Magic by 4 points, 24-20.

After taking the lead in the first quarter, Jordan gave Rivers the most heartbreaking blow in the second quarter.

In the first quarter, Duncan and Ginobili played hard for the Magic for 12 minutes, and could only rest off the court in the second quarter.

And in the first quarter, Chen Xiao, who had played soy sauce with his teammates and enjoyed the whole quarter of Randolph and Duncan's hand-to-hand combat, started to strike hard during the rotation time of the second quarter!

"Jordan made Randolph's crazy singles against Duncan in the first quarter of this game. Got a lot of rest time!"

"I admit that although Michael's tactical level is not very good, his heart is too dark and he is very suitable to be a head coach. I have never seen such a black-hearted rookie head coach in the NBA!"

Good guy, Barkley, who has always been very dismissive of Jordan's coaching ability, is praising Jordan from the bottom of his heart at this time.

It can only be said that Jordan's ability to adapt to the situation is really strong!

It has to be said that after all, he was the one who single-handedly made Phil a 'Zen Master'.

Boss Joe's sense of the game and ability to adapt on the spot are top-notch in the entire history of the NBA.

Facing the Magic team that is facing internal and external difficulties, we cannot let them see hope, so they need to attack strongly from the beginning!

The more aggressive you are, the lower their morale will be.

For such strength, even if you pay some efficiency costs, it is worth it.

What's more, although the Bobcats paid the price in terms of efficiency, they could still take back Chen Xiao's rest time.

Chen Xiao took one shot in the first quarter and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals on 1-for-1.

By the way, these three steals were all against Duncan.

Duncan was bumped into and pestered by Randolph, and Chen Xiao took advantage of the situation and killed him.

Therefore, in the first quarter, Duncan was not only attacked by Randolph on the defensive end, but also taken care of by Chen Xiao and Randolph on the offensive end.

Anyway, let's let the Magic's boss go, and let the Magic's Prince go!

At this time, when the Magic's morale is low, they can give up some things in order to attack key people.

If the opponent's morale is high, this cannot be done. If the Magic's morale is high, they may be able to hit a three-pointer.

This is called one success and one hundred successes!

In the first quarter of this game, the Magic relied on Duncan as their boss to boost the team's morale.

But being so messed up by Jordan, even if Duncan were replaced by anyone else, it would be useless.

It can be said that in this game, Jordan really used his understanding of key games to the fullest.

Rivers, who was expecting a counterattack in this game, could only watch helplessly as the Bobcats defeated the Magic 100-90 and won another game.

In fact, after the rotation in the second quarter, the Magic basically settled the game.

It's just that Rivers still wants a miracle.

But, how can there be so many miracles in this world?

4 to 0!

In the end, the Bobcats swept the Magic 4-0 and entered the finals.

Before the start of this series, many people thought the Magic should sweep the Bobcats.

But the final result was that the Bobcats swept the Magic.

"I know what you mean, Michael and I, all of us as Bobcats know, our team was supposed to be out in the first round.

Therefore, we will cherish this opportunity very much. We don't want to waste any chance to advance, because we are not qualified, and we will strive for victory in every game.

Finally we did it, we beat the Magic and we made it to the Finals.

Regardless of whether the finals are against the Lakers or the Suns, it is a new challenge for us. "

Chen Xiao, who shot 14 of 22 in this game and scored a game-high 34 points, said this in an interview after the game.

Among them, Chen Xiao's words, "Our team should have been eliminated in the first round," shocked the entire NBA.

Many people feel that Chen Xiao is trying to kill the Raptors and Nets.

But there are also many people who feel that Chen Xiao is thankful from the bottom of his heart and respects the Raptors and Nets.

All I can say is that everyone can have their own understanding and ideas, but one thing is certain.

The Bobcats officially acknowledged the ongoing controversy.

That is, the Raptors really almost defeated the Bobcats in the first round!

At the same time, a team that was not supposed to appear in the second round miraculously made it to the finals!

The Raptors sent the Bobcats to the second round because of D'Antoni.

The Nets sent the Bobcats to the Eastern Conference finals because of Pat Riley's conservatism.

The Magic defeated the Bobcats' biggest natural enemy, the Heat, and sent the Bobcats to the finals.

After watching the Bobcats advance to the finals this season, many fans across the United States can't help but sigh.

"This season's wonder boy, Jordan, is simply the chosen one favored by God!"

Seeing what netizens said, Xiao Zhan was happy for his idol and friends.

At the same time, I thought silently in my heart.

"This season, I am also the chosen one favored by God!"

That No. 1 pick makes Xiao Zhan still excited and happy...
