Chapter 236 That Punch that Falls From the Sky!

Just as Marshall left the Cavaliers locker room with his luggage on his back, on the other side, the Bulls' home game against the Hornets had reached the fourth quarter.

On the court, Jamal Crawford, who scored 1 of 11 in the first three quarters and scored 5 points, did not know that he had been traded now.

What's more, I didn't know that the Bulls' vice president Paxson Jr. was so beaten in the first three quarters of the game that he no longer hesitated and sent the useless guard to the Cavaliers.

At this time, Jamal Crawford, who still dared to fight on the court, was not affected by the first three quarters at all.

Facing David Wesley, who had a hard time guarding him in the first three quarters, Crawford hit two singles in the fourth quarter, hitting consecutive hits and scoring four points in a row. After the start of the fourth quarter, Leading the Bulls to overtake the score 65 to 64.

Crawford's two singles confused David Wesley a bit.

He played so well before, and he dared to attack so much in the fourth quarter. Is this guy's heart made of steel?

As a player who Chen Xiao could tell at a glance with the Mamba spirit, wasn't he 1 for 11 in the first three quarters?

Although this is the worst first three quarters of his career.

But it's still far from what the boss said, even if you hit 0 in 30, you have to dare to fight.

So, David Wesley still doesn't understand how scary it is to have a Mamba mentality.

Of course, David Wesley doesn't intend to understand, since you kid can't lie down well, don't blame this baby for catching you and hitting you.

After being beaten twice by Crawford, David Wesley became angry and started a pick-and-roll with Steve Smith. After putting Crawford in front of Steve Smith, he passed the ball and Steve Smith made a three-pointer. Point shot, and caused Crawford's three-point foul.

Three-point hit, extra penalty, 3+1 hit!

The previous four points were scored beautifully, and the four points lost are also quite beautiful.

The Bulls fans at the scene were cheering because they were beautiful.

And Paxson, the vice president of the Bulls on the sidelines, turned dark.

That's why he lost patience with Crawford.

That defense is really blind!

Fans can just focus on his picturesque offense, like Jordan.

But as the vice president of the team, he can't just sell tickets for the team, can he?

While little Paxson was sullen, the Bulls fans at the scene enjoyed a very exciting offensive battle in the fourth quarter of this game.

The league's famous defensive team, the New Orleans Hornets, scored 59 points in the first three quarters. However, in the fourth quarter, they relied on attacking Crawford desperately and scored 38 points in a single quarter!

The single section of the wasp is 38, which is as magical as the blooming iron tree.

The person who created this magic was the No. 1 of the opposite Bulls team, Jamal Crawford.

On the other side, faced with such a brutal and targeted attack by the Hornets, Crawford not only did not flinch in the fourth quarter, but he actually fought against the entire Hornets team in the fourth quarter.

Crawford, who shot 1 of 11 in the first three quarters, made 10 of 12 in the fourth quarter and scored 23 points in a single quarter!

So much so that in the fourth quarter of this game, as soon as Crawford got the ball, many Bulls fans at the scene shouted, 'Michael! ’.

One thing to say, in the fourth quarter of this game, if you look at it accurately, Jamal Crawford really has the shadow of Jordan in the singles.

If Luo Ge is the stuck version of Jordan, then Crawford is definitely the paper version or the light version of Jordan.

In the game between the Bulls and the Hornets, the Bulls lost 91 to 97 in the end, but for Crawford, this was a very good career game. The 28 points in the game were the third-highest score in his career so far. score.

At the same time, 23 points in the fourth quarter was also the highest score in a single quarter of his career.

So after the game, his teammates and coaches were congratulating him.

Until Crawford returned to the locker room with his teammates with excitement and excitement.

"Jamal, you are no longer a Bulls player, pack your things and report to Cleveland."

"..."

Jamal looked at Bulls Vice President Paxson Jr., who looked serious, with a confused expression on his face.

I looked at the calendar next to me. December 6th was not April 1st.

After being dazed, he came back to his senses and looked at the locker room where needles could be heard. Jamal Crawford seemed to understand something.

The joyful emotion in my mind instantly turned into great sadness.

The shock of falling from heaven to hell made his whole body confused.

At this time, all that was left in his mind was the boy with the cheerful smile that seemed to be born with him, the eyes and smile of an angel and a devil.

"Jamal, it's your turn to salute!"

Sisi, Sisisi...

For a moment, Jamal Crawford felt like he was falling into a snake's cave, trembling all over.

At this time, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, who were playing against the Grizzlies at Gund Arena, did not know what was happening with the Bulls.

This game between the Cavaliers and Grizzlies.

The Cavaliers have lost three consecutive games before, and this game is bound to be about winning a game to turn the situation around.

However, although it was a home game, Marshall was suddenly unable to play on his side, and his opponent, the Grizzlies, was strong.

This made the pressure on the Cavaliers in this game even greater.

Pau Gasol, Bunch Wells, Shane Battier, Eddie Jones, Jason Williams

The Grizzlies' starting lineup for this game was a starting lineup with one senior and four juniors.

Obviously, this starting lineup was newly arranged by Hubie Brown based on the fact that Marshall was unable to play in this game with the Cavaliers.

Marshall, a high-volume shooter, is no longer there, and Diaw is the starting power forward. The Grizzlies don't need to put a tall power forward at the power forward, which is a waste.

Diaw, who averaged 25 minutes per game this season but could only score 5 points, and whose shooting percentage is very impressive, has no shooting ability at all.

Without shooting ability, my last swingman who had excellent offense, full of energy and strong strength was completely adequate.

Just hit Dio hard on the offensive end!

I have to say that Hubie Brown’s idea is a good one.

Tyson Chandler's defense is very good. If Wells can catch Diaw's crazy output on the offensive end and attract Chandler's defense away, the pressure on Gasol will be much less.

Moreover, Wells mentioned that the starting lineup is not only important on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. It can also be used to defend Chen Xiao or James.

As far as Bunch Wells' defensive ability is concerned, it would be a waste to use him to defend Diaw. Diaw can be left to Eddie Jones, or even Jason Williams.

In this way, when Wells is defending, he and Battier form the Grizzlies' double iron wall on the outside, which can also block the attacks of James and Chen Xiao.

This is a multi-purpose thing.

If there is a regular double inside lineup, Chen Xiao and James will always miss one.

In short, after Hubie Brown adjusted the lineup with confidence, this game also began.

Tyson Chandler and Gasol jumped the ball. Tyson Chandler was quite excited tonight. He and Gasol were both rookies in the 2001 class.

Gasol is third and he is second.

But his secondary development has become a parallel import, while Gasol is getting better and better.

If you were Chandler, would you have no opinion of Gasol at all?

Normally you play power forward, and we can't match you. Now, you play center, so sorry, I really want to fight you!

Let you see the essence of the Wolf King spirit that I have now realized!

The game between the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies was not broadcast live across the United States, but it was definitely broadcast live on CCTV in China.

"The Cavaliers' opponent in this game, the Grizzlies, is one of the top five teams in the Western Conference this season. It will not be easy for the Cavaliers to end their losing streak in this game."

Before the game, when Teacher Zhang was talking about the Cavaliers' losing streak, there was no uncomfortable look on his face.

It's really not uncomfortable.

Regardless of the fact that the Cavaliers have lost six of the last 10 games, Chen Xiao scored 40+ points in 2 games, 30+ points in 3 games, and 25+ points in 4 games in these 10 games. The only game in which he scored only 20 points was 20+11. Two pairs.

Are you uncomfortable with this data?

Of course it’s not uncomfortable!

If you are a fan, if the star you support has been getting good data, but the team's record is not very good, but based on the fact that it is in the playoffs, will you feel uncomfortable?

Now many Chinese fans in the country really hope that the Cavaliers' record will not be so good and let Chen Xiao improve his statistics.

This is really no joke.

The Cavaliers had 6 wins and 4 losses in the first 10 games, which is a good record, but Chen Xiao averaged 28.8 points per game.

In the next 9 games, the Cavaliers' record was 3 wins and 6 losses, which is not a good record, but Chen Xiao averaged close to 32 points per game in these 9 games!

If the Cavaliers are more difficult, is it possible for Chen Xiao to threaten Kobe's scoring title?

It’s not bragging at all, because Jordan’s scoring champions have won too many, and the scoring champions after Jordan are all super giants like O’Neal, Iverson and Tracy McGrady. The scoring champions of this era are extremely valuable.

When fans discuss honors, the scoring champion is definitely the top honor in their minds.

If you compare the MVPs and scoring champions in the past 10 years, you will find that the scoring champion may have a bigger card than the MVP.

"With the strength of the Grizzlies, if Chen Xiao doesn't want to score high points in this game, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to win!"

After Teacher Zhang finished speaking with some excitement, the audience in front of the TV became excited and happy.

"Come on Grizzlies, you must give the Cavaliers some difficulties!"

"Kobe's side only scored 40 points tonight, Xiaobao's side has a chance!"

Chen Xiao, who was on the court at this time, would never have thought that the Chinese audience in front of the TV would have such thoughts.

If you know, you will be shocked.

In your minds, am I now a person like Mr. Ke who ‘only’ scores 40 points?

There is no way. In the last game the Cavaliers beat the Clippers, Chen Xiao scored 40 points, so it is normal for Chinese fans to have expectations for Chen Xiao's game.

In the middle circle, Tyson Chandler and Gasol jumped the ball. Chandler, excited and excited, defeated Gasol with an easy jump ball.

Before the game started, Xiao Zhan, who was hacked by Marshall, was in a low mood.

Xiao Zhan is actually a somewhat sensitive teenager.

He felt that he had not treated Marshall badly.

He didn't feel like he was a ball bully either.

From his perspective, he feels that he is very responsible as a point guard for the Cavaliers.

The ball should be released and the ball should be broken through. Indeed, because his shooting is not strong, it is difficult for him to create offensive opportunities for Marshall.

But he can also direct Marshall's movements. As long as Marshall has a chance, he will also pass the ball.

At most, when he was directing traffic, he did dribble for a long time, but he was not a ball dominator.

Xiao Zhan felt that he was wronged. He did everything for the team, but his teammates who left felt that he was selfish.

In fact, Xiao Zhan doesn't care about what Marshall said.

Marshall's shooting is very good. He doesn't want to be directed by rookie traffic policeman Xiao Zhan, and he doesn't want to "flip" in the bottom corner to catch Xiao Zhan's breakthrough ball.

More than these, he wants more pick-and-roll opportunities.

Which big man who shoots so well doesn't want to play more pick-and-rolls?

Xiao Zhan can actually play more pick-and-rolls with Marshall, but Xiao Zhan's current shooting ability and his ability to play small and big are simply terrible.

In a pick-and-roll with Marshall, the opponent's No. 4 position changes to Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan can only stare. The opponent's inside line takes half a step back or takes one step to release the shot, which can make Xiao Zhan uncomfortable to death.

There is no problem with Xiao Zhan's powerful breakthrough to crush the outside line, but crushing the inside line of this era is just overthinking.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan is now a little repelled by the inside, especially when the power forward plays the pick-and-roll. The center may not be flexible, but he can still break out. The power forward, who generally has speed and strength, is the most uncomfortable for him.

Marshall, on the other hand, happens to be a power forward.

Marshall feels that you can obviously pick and roll with me and create opportunities easily.

But you are holding the ball and blindly directing traffic, and you are rushing alone. What is this if you are not a ball dominator?

Okay, that's a bit far. There is no problem with either Xiao Zhan or Marshall. It's purely due to their stance.

It is precisely because Marshall is not really shady that Xiao Zhan feels so uncomfortable.

In this game, Xiao Zhan became more willful again. If he didn't want to play point guard, he had to play Chen Xiao.

In the Cavaliers' first attack of the game, Chen Xiao pushed the ball across half court, looked at Gasol under the Grizzlies basket, and then looked at Chandler next to Gasol asking for the ball.

Good guy, Tai Tai is going to play Gasol alone.

You are so jealous!

Of course, Chen Xiao ignored Chandler's request for the ball due to Gasol's one-on-one challenge.

I took a look at the Grizzlies' defensive formation.

Battier is in front of him, Wells, who plays power forward, is in front of James, while Eddie Jones is facing Diaw at the right waist of the basket, and White Chocolate is facing Darius, who can't shoot. Smiles.

There is really no problem with this formation, this matchup, and one-on-one.

It's hard for Chen Xiao to beat Battier, and it's hard for James to beat Wells. James was beaten by Wells when he played the Trail Blazers before, and Diaw may not be able to beat Jones.

Although Myers is much larger than White Chocolate, if he can't reach the basket, Myers can't beat White Chocolate.

By the time Miles gets to the basket, the Grizzlies defense will have already switched defenses.

It can be seen that Grizzlies head coach Hubie Brown had an idea in this game.

but!

Did he underestimate the Cavaliers players too much?

Chen Xiao ignored Chandler's request for singles and asked Chandler to quickly come out from the basket to pick and roll him.

There is no way for the Grizzlies, one big and four small, to let Gasol follow Chandler out.

Gasol comes out, Miles cuts in, and lets White Chocolate and Eddie Jones guard the inside?

Therefore, after Chen Xiao started the pick-and-roll with Chandler, Battier became a little stupid.

Gasol can't come out, he's 1 on 2!

He was blocked by Chandler!

And Chen Xiao has already broken through him and went to the basket!

Although he bypassed Chandler's defense from behind and chased after Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao was indeed very fast and was already in front of him. He had already been broken through by Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao used the pick-and-roll to break through Battier and went directly to Gasol.

Chen Xiao is not James. Seeing that Chen Xiao has broken through Battier and may make a sudden stop at any time, how can Gasol defend the basket?

Faced with Gasol giving up the help of the basket and Battier's pursuit from behind.

Chen Xiao calmly threw the basketball in his hand towards Gasol's head.

"not good!"

As the only big man on the Grizzlies field, Gasol already had a premonition of what it would be like if the ball passed over his head!

really!

When Gasol turned around, Tyson Chandler, who had just blocked Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll, had already received Chen Xiao's alley-oop and dunked directly with both hands!

"So fast! This kid was at the three-point line just now. How long ago did he reach the basket?!"

"Is this the speed of a center forward?!"

To be honest, as a famous NBA coach, how could Hubie Brown not think about the pick-and-roll between Chen Xiao and Chandler.

He has thought about it and has countermeasures. Chen Xiao is the only player in the Cavaliers who has a shooting threat. As long as he breaks through, the entire Grizzlies team will immediately shrink!

In this case, even if Gasol goes out to help defend, Chandler can't fly over the head of Eddie Jones or White Chocolate to score, right?

Obviously, he clearly underestimated Chandler's speed.

At the same time, he underestimated Dior's 'IQ'.

Dior is indeed not good at anything now, but there is one thing he is very good at, that is, he has a high two-way quotient, and he can compete with chicken thieves on the court.

Do you want to recycle the basket?

Do I agree?

If you are taller than me, I can't help it.

You are just Eddie Jones, but if I pester you, can you move?

Uh-huh, I can't move!

Bang!

After receiving a pass from Chen Xiao, Tyson Chandler dunked with both hands!

"pretty!"

Tyson Chandler punched the Grizzlies and Hubie Brown as if from the sky.

Looking back at the Grizzlies' offense, I have to say that Hubie Brown's formation of one large and four small was indeed exploited by Chen Xiao and Chandler in the defense just now.

But on the offensive end, it is really powerful!

White Chocolate and Gasol were in a pick-and-roll. After Gasol moved Chen Xiao in front of him, Gasol, who received the pass from White Chocolate, did not use his height to shoot Chen Xiao, but instead hit the ball to Wells on the right. .

Faced with Diaw's defense, Bonzi Wells changed direction under the basket and broke through the somewhat sluggish Diaw, then dunked with one hand and scored easily.

Bunch Wells was a quasi-star swingman who averaged 19 points per game in the playoffs last season. He was slow to play one-on-one against a rookie, and his defense at the fourth position was not that good. He was simply a bully.

What a great fight with a small one!

Even Carlisle was surprised by the Grizzlies' offense.

Diaw was used as a starter before, and Diaw was also caught by many people.

But no one has ever caught him with an outside swingman like Hubie Brown!

Usually, Diaw is caught inside, and Diaw can block a little.

But this time against Wells, it was really unstoppable.

At this time, Bonchi Wells seemed like a sharp sword inserted into the heart of the Cavaliers.

2 to 2!

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. Chen Xiao and Tyson Chandler used a high pick-and-roll. Chen Xiao once again used Tyson Chandler to fend off Battier.

Although Gasol did not come out this time, White Chocolate switched defense and followed.

This is the rhythm of directly flanking Chen Xiao after the high post pick-and-roll.

However, Chandler's pick-and-roll quality surprised Hubie Brown on the sidelines.

Battier's ability to get around screens and pick-and-rolls is acceptable for his height. With a height of 2.03 meters, he is definitely not as good as a smaller man when it comes to getting around screens.

But it's not like being stuck twice in a row to such a degree of death, and it's more deadly each time.

Before the pincer attack between Battier and White Chocolate was formed, Chen Xiao had already crushed White Chocolate with Xiao Zhan's dribbling tank breakthrough.

Originally Gasol was not going to come out to help defend Chen Xiao this time, but unexpectedly, he still came out this time.

It’s good to be out!

Under the attack of White Chocolate and Gasol, Chen Xiao shook her little hand and threw the basketball into the air again.

Another bang!

Chandler's hands were once again hanging on the blue frame!

At this time, the basket squeaked from the impact of the powerful dunk.

For a moment, the Cavaliers fans at the scene cheered loudly.

The audience was chanting Chandler's name.

If Wales' swingman-like singles under the basket just now is a sharp sword.

Then Tyson Chandler's alley-oop from the high post to the basket is a powerful and heavy iron fist!

And it was hit by Chen Xiao, an iron fist falling from the sky!

4 to 2!

So powerful!

At this time, everyone on the court and in front of the TV was watching Chandler beating his chest and screaming at Sirius.

Beside him, Dior smiled and let Shane go with some embarrassment.

Chen Xiao's pass just now was very beautiful, and he could actually catch it.

But, in the end, Diaw chose to block Tyson Chandler.

With his physical talent, don't waste such a beautiful assist like the Wonder Boy.

"Only an iron fist like Tyson is worthy of Chen's punching technique that comes from the sky."

After thinking about it in his mind, Dio calmly returned to defense first.

Looking back, when the Grizzlies attack, the Grizzlies players on the field will adjust their defense, and of course the Cavaliers players will also adjust their defense.

This time on defense, Xiao Zhan and Diaw switched defenses, and Xiao Zhan ran to play the fourth position.

And Dior ran outside.

Although he is also a dish on the outside, but is it better to let people shoot than let people dunk under the basket?

You see, this time Eddie Jones hit a mid-range pull-up jumper after making a beautiful change of direction to get rid of Diaw.

The Grizzlies missed the attack, but when they turned around, Chen Xiao made another alley-oop assist!

This time, the iron fist punched out by Chen Xiao with this punch from the sky was not Tyson Chandler, but Darius Miles!

This time the Grizzlies switched defense again, and Eddie Jones came out, with White Chocolate inside.

White Chocolate returned to defense in time to block Tyson Chandler.

Although Eddie Jones was pushed below the free throw line by Chen Xiao's Tucker breakthrough, he was able to catch Chen Xiao with Battier.

However, clamping is clamping, there is definitely no way to stop Chen Xiao from falling from the sky to punch.

Chen Xiao made a long pass to the basket. At this time, Chandler rushed to the basket, Darius Miles rushed to the basket, and Diaw was blocking for his teammates.

At the Grizzlies' basket, Gasol and White Chocolate had to defend three people in the end!

When the white chocolate was finally blocked by Dior.

Gasol was dumbfounded when he saw Miles and Chandler rushing towards him from two directions.

Even if he defends well, he is not Duncan O'Neal. He really can't stand these two beasts Chandler and Miles on his own!

He can only block Chandler from the front, and then hope that he can affect Miles from the side.

Gasol's positioning is very good and he can indeed affect Miles.

For ordinary insiders, Gasol may use his position to defend one and two successfully.

But this man is the Little Wolf King, Darius Miles, who is considered to be the closest to Garnett in physical talent!

Facing Gasol's position, Darius Miles, who was flying in the air, turned and caught the ball in the air, followed by a folding two-handed dunk!

Gasol's first defense and second position were completely defeated!

If you want Miles to pass people with the ball, he can't do it, but if you want him to rush up and pass people in the air, that's his advantage!

Bang!

The sound of Darius Miles' dunk is even hotter than Chandler's!

6 to 2!

On the sidelines, Hubie Brown was a little confused when he saw that his formation of one big and four small in this game was almost destroyed by Chen Xiao's long pass after the pick-and-roll.

What confused him was not the consecutive dunks of Chandler and Myers, but Chen Xiao's pass!

"Wonderboy's passing vision is so good!"

Of course, a player with a naked height of 2 meters, do you think it is a joke?

Coupled with his big hands, there is almost no time for slippery hands.

His 90 pass is definitely not the kind of super brain-burning ball that Boss Kee has.

But 90's pass with height and big hands, he is Rondo + James!

By the way, who is Rondo?

Maybe it's an illusion.

Chen Xiao's lob pass put a lot of pressure on Hubie Brown.

But he still wants to persist!

but……

Another bang!

When Tyson Chandler received an alley-oop from Chen Xiao again to complete the alley-oop, Hubie Brown knew that it would be impossible not to adjust.

The game lasted less than 4 minutes, and Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown requested a timeout.

At this time, the score on the court was 18 to 10, and the Cavaliers had already led by 8 points at home!

Who would have thought that the start of the game between the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies would be like this.

Hubie Brown didn't think of it, and neither did Jerry West on the sidelines.

Even the Cavaliers fans at the scene didn't expect it.

At this time, Teacher Zhang even roared excitedly.

"In the city of lobs, Chen Xiao smashed the Grizzlies' defense with a punch that fell from the sky!"

Good guy, 7 assists in four minutes!

If you continue, this will cause trouble!

Just when everyone at the scene was excited, Xiao Zhan, who was leaving the stage with Chen Xiao, kept looking at Chen Xiao with big eyes.

"Is Xiao Chen teaching me?"

So handsome, Xiao Chen just now was really handsome! !

It’s so cool, I want to learn from it!
