I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the professional basketball world, few people have seen a player like Chen Xiao who has all kinds of 'beginner' problems.

It should be said that in the NBA, no one has ever seen such an 'extremely unprofessional' player like Chen Xiao.

If someone asks you to duel, according to professional habits, you just accept the duel directly.

If someone talks trash to you, according to professional habits, you just talk to him directly.

You kid, what 'nonsense' are you talking about here?

Don't run away, let's fight together until dark!

This innocent appearance is very similar to the lawless and simple appearance when everyone first came into contact with basketball.

Among the players on the Nets team, which one was not a genius who was once famous all over the world. Once upon a time, before their edges and corners were smoothed, they were like Chen Xiao. Before others lost, they thought they had won.

It's just that in the end, no one can stand against time and reality.

Even a top NBA star like Kidd.

So, seeing Chen Xiao and Corey Kidders like this, Kidd was a little dazed.

Those 'passionate' Mavericks days...

But soon, the little bit of trance quietly disappeared, and the professional smile returned to his face again.

Once the blood was hot.

Now, my heart is cold, and my hands are hardened.

Closer to home, no matter how 'unprofessional' Chen Xiao showed and Corey Kidders was not on the 'same channel', Corey Kidders had no intention of letting Chen Xiao go.

Regardless of whether this kid sincerely wants to play with him until dark after the game, or just trash talking to disturb his mentality, he has no intention of losing in this duel!

"I will never give up the starting position!"

Corey Kidders has a lot of fighting spirit and a lot of confidence.

He has strength, he has more experience in NBA games, he has no reason to lose to Chen Xiao in the game.

"I'm not going to let the coaching staff find an excuse to take me out of the starting lineup!"

As long as Chen Xiao can be defeated in confrontation games, the coaching staff will not be able to, and dare not remove him from the starting lineup.

The Nets who want a championship need unity and will never allow civil strife.

Therefore, no matter how optimistic they are about Chen Xiao, they must follow the rules!

"Kerui, don't worry, we will support you in this game!"

The two insiders of the blue team, Martin, Jason Collins and Lucios Harris are old players of the Nets, and of course they are closer to Corey Kiddles.

Rodney Rogers is also new here, so he doesn't plan to stand in the team.

"There is support from Corey's side, and there is support from Chen's side."

After Eddie Jordan finished speaking with a smile on the sidelines, on the court, White team center Todd McClochy, who wanted to keep his starting position, beat Jason Collins with a jump ball.

This result, to be honest, was surprising.

McCloskey is white and Jason Collins is black.

After McClochy succeeded in jumping the ball, without hesitation, he dragged his huge body and slowly 'rushed' forward with Battelle.

To be honest, Chen Xiao and Richard Jefferson, who originally wanted to charge, didn't have the nerve to charge after seeing the two of them trying so hard to make a fast break.

I can't bear it...

"If we run too fast, isn't it a bit too shocking?"

Chen Xiao and Richard Jefferson looked at each other, and they both saw the 'sympathy' in each other's eyes.

Don't rush, just follow behind.

Then, the white team, which was going to make a quick break, turned into a positional attack.

However, although the two big men of the white team were a bit slow, and they couldn't do fast breaks, the cover of this position was really solid.

After Chen Xiao passed halftime, Corey Kiddles, who had been sticking tightly to Chen Xiao, was blocked by the double screens of Pug and Bai.

Chen Ling was not surprised that Ba Ge dragged his heavy weight so brightly and wasted his energy to run out to cover Chen Ling.

Brother Bai McCloch also dragged a big man out to cover Chen Ling, which surprised Chen Ling a little.

"So, being a good person is really rewarding!"

After the two 'big brothers' stood side by side to help Chen Xiao fend off Corey Kiddles, Chen Xiao received Kidd's pass and pulled up outside the three-point line in front of Kenyon Martin!

This pass is too comfortable, right?

Although such a double screen pass is not difficult for a point guard master like Kidd.

but!

This is a no-hands pass!

To be honest, it was the first time Chen Xiao encountered such a pass, and it was much better than Wade's indifferent pass!

Take off, lean back, sideways, kick, shoot!

After Chen Xiao increased the bounce to 75, Wei's jump shot became more and more complete by him!

No matter what kind of defense he was facing, as long as it wasn't close defense, Chen Xiao could complete the movements.

The current Chen Xiao can guarantee that every movement is almost 'chic' like Wade's.

Kenyon Martin, who came out from behind Pug to block the block, worked hard.

Hard work is hard work, but this hand is really short!

In fact, Kenyon Martin's hands are not so short. He is 2.06 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.13 meters.

The point is, Chen Xiao's wingspan is too foul!

Martin, who flew obliquely from behind Battelle to block the shot, wanted to fly his right hand out to block the block, but when he saw the basketball being dragged by Chen Ling's long arms, Martin's eyes showed a look of despair.

Even if his right hand was dislocated by his stretching forward, it might not be able to reach the basketball being dragged by Chen Xiao.

These long hands are really like beasts!

Watched by the very hard-working Martin, the three-point shot by Chen Xiao drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket hollowly.

Swipe!

White team 3 to 0 blue team!

"This ball is crisp!"

The eyes of Kidd, Byron Scott, and Eddie Jordan all lit up.

However, Martin, who rushed out and was confronted by Chen Xiao, felt a little uncomfortable.

If I had known earlier, I would not have stood up for Corey.

This belongs to nothing to find a draw!

but……

This kid is really long!

It's not really strong, it's really long!

On the next turn, it's the blue team's turn to attack.

The blue team's point guard is played by Corey Kidders himself.

Because the Nets have Kidd, Corey Kiddles doesn't handle the ball, but his ball-handling ability is still okay.

Kidders felt a little uncomfortable when Chen Xiao scored a goal in that way just now.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Kidders pushed forward with the ball.

However, what surprised Kidders, the Nets players on the court and the Nets coaches on the sidelines.

Kidders received the pass from Martin and slammed into Chen Xiao's body.

o(Д)っwhat? !

Chen wants to press Kidders all over the court?

Although Kidders is not as stable in possession of the ball as Kidd, it is not something you, a small rookie, can press down, right?

In fact, Chen Xiao didn't intend to force the ball out of Kidders' hands.

He simply wanted to consume Kidders.

After confronting Kidders for a few times, Martin ran back from the front to meet him, but before he could meet him, Chen Xiao went back to the defense with a pat on the butt.

This makes Martin very uncomfortable.

Is there such a full-court press?

It's not that Martin has little knowledge, he really hasn't seen it!

"He must still be harassing me, the cunning boy!"

After Kidders dribbled the ball across the half court with a dark face, Chen Xiao's press of fighting and retreating came again.

Force you twice, and then see that you want to break through, and others will come to meet you, so you are afraid of leaving your ass in a hurry.

Then you thought he retreated, but he ran up again.

"This is bullying Corey's possession of the ball is not lethal!"

Eddie Jordan was laughed at by Chen Xiao on the court.

If it were Kobe Kidd or Iverson, Chen Xiao would have no chance to fight and retreat at all. He was directly defeated and his ass was kicked.

"Smart boy."

Eddie Jordan, who taught Chen Xiao for more than two months during the offseason, admired Chen Xiao very much.

"Smart is smart, but he is not irritating Corey, he is consuming Corey."

Consume Corey? !

After Byron Scott finished speaking, Eddie Jordan was a little dumbfounded.

A player who has never played in the NBA consumes an NBA veteran?

Do you know how big the gap is between the physical strength of rookies and the physical strength of NBA veterans?

Although Corey is called a "mosquito" in the NBA, his average playing time has reached 30 minutes per game in the past two seasons!

Even if he consumes a little more ball control, it's not enough for a rookie like Chen Xiao to consume it, right?

But soon, Eddie Jordan discovered that, as the head coach said, Chen Xiao was indeed consuming Kidders.

Because no matter whether Kidders is holding the ball or not, no matter whether he is in the frontcourt or the backcourt, Chen Xiao sticks to Kidders like a plaster.

"This kid's defense against Corey reminds me of Hamilton defending Kobe and Jordan defending Reggie Miller!"

"This rookie kid, is he fighting with Corey?!"

"Is this kid crazy?!"

After a few rounds, not only the team's assistant coach Eddie Jordan, but also the Nets players on and off the court were stunned.

At this time, Kidders' face was even more livid.

He was a quasi-star player in the NBA, but he was underestimated by a rookie!

It is tolerable or unbearable!

After a few more rounds...

End of a game...

Half time is over...

End of the third quarter...

When the game came to the fourth quarter, when the blue team guard Kiedels on the court due to the huge consumption of physical energy, more and more mistakes in possession of the ball on the court, and when the shooting rate was getting lower and lower, the entire Nets The training hall was completely silent.

On the court, the Nets white player who was facing Kiedals and wore the No. 7 jersey can still be full of energy on the court and run like flying.

"This kid?!"

The confrontation between the Nets' white team and the blue team ended. After four quarters, the white team defeated the blue team with a score of 96 to 82.

That's a big difference.

However, at this time, neither the Nets players on the court, the Nets players on the sidelines, nor the two coaches of the Nets paid attention to the score of this game.

All eyes were on Chen Xiao, who was sweating profusely on the court with a bright smile on his face.

"Eddie, you didn't tell us that Chen has such amazing physical strength!"

"Although Corey's confrontation is not good, his physical strength is not weak in the NBA. It has reached the average level of a guard. As a rookie, a rookie who has not undergone systematic endurance training has such amazing physical strength!"

After the surprise, Nets coach Byron Scott felt like he had found a treasure.

To be honest, at this time Eddie Jordan also felt as if he had been suddenly attacked.

For NBA players, physical fitness is really important.

No matter how strong the strength is, if the skin is crispy, it will be useless.

How many minutes you can play at a high level on the court determines your status on the team.

Otherwise, if the team wants to put more burden on you, you won't be able to handle it.

Just like Pug in the Nuggets, he can only play for 15 minutes at most in a game. When the team wants to use you, you fall down. How disgusting is that?

"Eddie, I agree with you. Chen is indeed a better starter than Corey, and it's not a fake starter."

"..."

Eddie Jordan was a little surprised by Byron Scott's words. It wasn't the kind of fake start for the last 20 minutes, but a real start? !

The head coach wants this kid to be in place in one step?

Eddie Jordan must be happy for Chen Xiao, but can it work?

Don't you want to protect it?

After all, the Nets' first game of the regular season was a bit difficult.

Of course, at this time, Chen Xiao naturally didn't know what the two coaches next to him were deciding.

After the game, seeing Corey Kidders leaving, Chen Xiao quickly chased after him, trying to hold him back.

"Corey..."

snap!

As soon as Chen Xiao grabbed Kidders with his hand, Kidders knocked him off.

Seeing Kidders' desolate back, Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Kerui, don't think that you can deny your debt just by running away, you still owe me a 'game'!"

Hearing the hearty yelling behind him, Corey Kiddles gritted his teeth, paused, and finally walked out of the training hall without turning around.

The moment I stepped out of the gate, the afterglow of the setting sun outside was so dazzling.

When he came here, he was still a vibrant second-team rookie with Kobe Ray Allen.

And at this time...

Once the same Asahi.

Kobe and Ray Allen are already in full swing.

But he, he has not even guaranteed the first start, and he is about to call the curtain...

The game between the white team and the blue team is over, and Kidders is gone.

But none of the other Nets players left.

Everyone was looking at Chen Xiao curiously.

Chen Xiao's performance in this team match was obviously recognized.

In the game, he made 9 of 16, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored a game-high 24 points. But this data is also quite outstanding.

What's more outstanding than the statistics is Chen Xiao's performance on the court.

"This kid actually directly KO'd Corey!"

Martin and Harris really didn't expect it.

Directly KO Kidders, which is why Chen Xiao will consume energy with Kidders in this match.

Not only to test his endurance level, but also to show the Nets his other advantages.

He wants to gain a foothold in the NBA and the Nets. Of course, the more advantages the Nets need, the better!

Therefore, Chen Xiao is still very satisfied with the display effect this time.

Didn't you see that Boss Ji's 'professional smile' standing in front of me is even brighter?

"Chen, now, I appreciate you even more."

After Kidd patted Chen Ling's shoulder and finished speaking, he raised three fingers to Chen Ling, then turned and left.

What a domineering president!

However, you are the boss, you have the final say, if you say three times, it will be three times. From now on, I will have the privilege of hitting three irons in a row.

The status of the team has been significantly improved.

"Richard, how many irons do you have on the team?"

"Twice, what's the matter?"

"Hahahahaha, just now, I was added three times by Boss Ji!"

What? !

three times? !

Boss Ji's favorite young man isn't me anymore?

Richard Jefferson was 'not happy'.

"No, I'll add it too!"

Hearing Richard Jefferson and Chen Xiao who were clamoring behind him, Kidd, who had a professional smile on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nostalgic blood.

Come on, my young accompanists.

Just like that, after the Nets' intra-team match ended, Chen Xiao felt that his status in the team had changed significantly.

After all, he is a player appointed by the boss to have the privilege of playing three irons in a row!

I heard that the idol in Los Angeles, Kobe, has the privilege of hitting 30 irons in a row. I don’t know when I will have this privilege in the mind of Boss Kee?

However, I really want to see what the first team of Boss Ji and Boss Ke will look like, hahahaha.

Sure to be hilarious, right?

On October 22, 2002, the New Jersey Nets challenged the 76ers in an away game. Chen Xiao did not go to Philadelphia with the team.

Chen Xiao was left behind to do recovery training with the team's assistant coach Eddie Jordan, and a bunch of doctors and machines were beeping at his body to check his body.

"Great body, doesn't look tired after playing for two consecutive months, better than some players on our team who played in the summer league."

Nets general manager Rod Thorn was satisfied with the team doctor's assessment of Chen Xiao's body.

He already knew about Chen Xiao blowing up Kidders in the series.

This proves that the Nets' gamble has succeeded.

It is impossible to fail, it depends on how successful you are.

Being left alone in New Jersey, Chen Xiao was not bored either.

It's just a good time to take advantage of this time to deal with some backlogged endorsement contracts.

As one of the hottest Chinese sports stars right now, Chen Xiao is very sought after.

According to Fagan, many manufacturers in China and South Korea rushed to him with US dollars.

"Danny, who is hotter, me or Yao Ming?"

"Of course you are hotter."

"Why?"

"You are more handsome, and your girlfriend is more beautiful."

"Hahahaha, Danny, you are very discerning, really discerning!"

Danny Fagan looked at this big boy who laughed happily and wanted to say, you have more vision than me.

To find such a smart and beautiful girl.

Chen Xiao's love affair with that Korean girl added to the popularity of the two of them is inconceivable.

"Maybe, I signed a Beckham of basketball."

Chen always felt that the girl was his "late pawn", but in fact it was probably his "Victoria".

In addition to staying in New Jersey to deal with business and food matters, Chen Xiao is still following the team's assistant coach Eddie Jordan's awakening and physical confrontation.

The enlightenment and awakening of physical confrontation is difficult. It takes one or even several seasons for many NCAA players to adapt to the physical confrontation of the NBA.

And like Kidders, there are not a few who failed to awaken.

Chen Xiao has basically completed the awakening of the chest muscles now, and will complete the training of the deltoid muscles next.

It is easy to understand that the pectoral muscles train the chest, while the deltoid muscles train the shoulders.

In the training hall of the Nets, Chen Xiao holds a dumbbell in each hand, stretches both arms to the sides of the body as much as possible, without fully straightening them, and forms a 45-degree angle with the body with the arms, and then quickly lifts the dumbbells up to the side to the direction of the body At an angle of about 45 degrees, start to slowly put it back down to its original position.

The number of single sets of this kind of action is fixed at 15 times, this number is random, starting from 10 times, until 20 times for testing, Chen Xiao's limit is 15 times, do 8 sets of each exercise, the interval time is 120 seconds, two times Days are a cycle.

According to Eddie Jordan, after Chen Xiao awakened his deltoid muscles, it is absolutely impossible for him to bench press 84 kg.

This is also the reason why Chen Xiao didn't rush to increase his core strength.

It's not that he lacks core strength and strength attributes, he lacks the means to use them.

He didn't even control the power of 60, no matter how much power was given to him, it was useless, maybe he couldn't control it, and even hurt others and himself.

After Chen Xiao has trained all these muscles and learned how to use his own strength, he will slowly increase the attribute of strength.

Anyway, the potential cards and attribute points are kept!

It's too late, there are deltoid muscles, triceps, biceps, abdominal muscles... well, it seems that there are quite a lot of them!

No wonder it took so long for those NBA players to wake up and fight against each other.

In other words, sometimes I really envy Wade, this guy is so lucky.

When he was a freshman, he was suspended for one year and gained 20 pounds. Coach Tim Barkley led him to complete the awakening of strength confrontation. Then, Wade, a sophomore, became fierce in the NCAA.

Most NCAA players are not fully awakened to confrontation.

Doesn't Wade just fall into the flock?

Wade, who has fully completed the awakening of strength confrontation, even in the NBA, his adaptability is not comparable to other rookies.

No wonder many experts are optimistic that Wade will be the best rookie of the year.

In terms of potential, it's hard to say what the potential of Wade and Jay Williams is, but the immediate combat power, Wade's immediate combat power in the NBA should be stronger.

For this, Chen Xiao was envious, but she had to work hard!

After returning to the United States, Chen Xiao didn't seem to play the preseason game of the Nets. It seemed to be very low-key, but in fact it was not low-key at all.

The news is full of which brand Chen Xiao signed today, and which brand will come to Chen Xiao tomorrow. Many NBA players who watched it wished to change their black skin into yellow.

Ha ha, are you envious now?

When it's time for the All-Star voting, hehehe...

On October 25, 2002, the Nets returned to New Jersey from an away game with a two-game winning streak in the preseason.

The Nets players who have returned to New Jersey are already gearing up.

Because, the new season is about to start.

"Championship, here we come!"

At this time, Boston not far away...

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..."

A certain man looked at the schedule of the new NBA season and let out a weird laugh that he didn't understand.

On October 29, 2002, Boston Celtics VS New Jersey Nets at home.

President, you really know how to play!

This is but the dream five team is trying hard!

New York, NBA headquarters, there are also people laughing.
