I’m Really Playing Basketball

The game between the New Jersey Nets and the Minnesota Timberwolves is not a nationally televised game on the US side.

Chen Xiao is very popular in the NBA this season, but the popularity of the Nets is not so great.

The hottest team at the beginning of this year's NBA season is still the Lakers, and the Lakers' OK soap opera is still going on.

In addition, O'Neal was absent due to a toe injury at the beginning of the season, and the Lakers are now temporarily entering the era of Kobe.

Now many people in the United States are anxiously waiting for Kobe to show his power during this time. When O'Neal returns, the Lakers' soap opera will be more interesting.

But to these people's great disappointment, as a ruthless 'face-slapping machine', Kobe severely slapped these spectators in the face in the first game of the season.

In the game against the Spurs, Kobe hit 9 of 29 and hit 20 irons, which swollen the faces of these people.

In this game between the Lakers and the Spurs, the real beauty is the Spurs' rookie Manu Ginobili this year.

As a rookie, in the first NBA game, facing the defending champion, in the crucial fourth quarter, he scored 4 points, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. The boss made a 1-for-7 in the fourth quarter.

Of course, the outstanding performance of Ginobili with long hair fluttering in this game did not make any splashes in the mainstream media in the United States.

When Chen Xiao called him to congratulate him, he knew that he was quite upset about it.

What's the use of being unhappy, the American media is like this, you don't have a story, no matter how strong you are, you won't be bullied.

"Manu, don't worry, when you play the Boston Celtics, you have a chance to make headlines."

Boston Pepper: Meow Meow Meow! ! !

Chen Xiao was actually telling the truth, so after speaking, Ginobili became excited, and when he was excited, he began to count the days.

In fact, you don't need to count the days. You didn't pay attention to the schedule when you saw Ginobili.

Mr. Mousse has made all the arrangements, and it will be the Christmas battle, haha.

Uncle Si is planning to finish off the enthusiasm of the United States in the World Championships this year. Knowing that many American fans want revenge just like Pierce, he deliberately gave Pierce and Chen Xiao, Ginobili and Peja Wait for someone to arrange it.

In short, at present, compared with the Lakers and the OK NBA teams and players, Chen Xiao and the Nets or Ginobili and the Spurs are all tools in the NBA. Where to move, after moving, just rest.

Chen Xiao and Pierce's story is over, so let's just rest.

However, this is in the United States, in China, Chen Xiao and the Nets, Yao Ming and the Heat, that is the general trend, no matter what Lakers or OK you are, just go.

These two almost perfect debuts of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have greatly raised the expectations of domestic fans for Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

Domestic fans can't wait for CCTV to broadcast the game between Chen Xiao and Yao Ming every day. We don't want to watch the Lakers, Magic, or 76ers!

We have to watch Yao Ming and Chen Xiao, every game.

But, it’s okay not to watch it, Mr. Si is not promoting Yao Ming and Chen Xiao in China, he is promoting the NBA!

Therefore, CCTV has absolutely no control over what games to broadcast on CCTV. After all, the copyright is almost free, and to save face, according to the rules, CCTV has a mix of meat and vegetables.

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's games can also be broadcast in full, pay attention to the ratio, as many Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's games are broadcast, the same number of other NBA games must be broadcast.

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming each played 82 games in the regular season. Even if the repeated matches between the two teams were cut, that would still be 160 games. Adding in the 160 games of other teams, during the regular season in just 5 months, CCTV would broadcast 320 NBA games.

This is really fatal, 320 shows in 150 days, two shows every day, enough to finish the broadcast.

So I heard from Mr. Zhang that CCTV is now urgently recruiting young commentators, and is planning to use CCTV 2 to broadcast live NBA again. Moreover, CCTV 1 selectively broadcasts individual games, so it is reluctant to arrange the time.

Central 2 and Central 5 are NBAs almost every morning, and Central 1 selects the NBA, which is almost equivalent to the morning of domestic TV, which is bombed by the NBA.

For a time, the popularity of the NBA in China exploded.

The domestic popularity of NBA stars has also exploded.

Among them, Chen Xiao's teammates Kidd and Yao Ming's teammates Wade are the fastest rising in popularity.

Needless to say, Kidd had to feed Chen Xiao if he didn't attack, guiding Chen Xiao to attack and score. He was the perfect boss.

Wade is yesterday's story of "Rising to the crown and becoming Yao" and "Zhi let Ba Fat kiss his ass" made Wade a representative of the "perfect brother" in China.

Wade's famous saying: "Bully my brother, none of you can escape!" has even become the second most popular famous saying in China now. Don't forget, the young and Dangerous culture is quite prevalent in China now!

He plays basketball so well, is so loyal, and looks mighty. His big cheeks are full of majesty at first glance, as special as Guan Gong's red phoenix eyes.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao's sentence: "The truth is also within my range!" It's so heaven-defying, this famous saying of Wade would be invincible.

Wade and Kidd were the first players to explode in popularity in China, and the opponent of the Nets in this game, Garnett, the boss of the Timberwolves, is also one of this group of players.

Because Garnett's identity is also very special, Chen Xiao's idol.

Moreover, in the pre-NBA era before Chen Xiao and Yao Ming entered the NBA, Garnett was one of the hottest NBA stars in China.

So, tonight's game between the Nets and the Timberwolves, although not many people pay attention to it in the United States, but in China, the heat is simply explosive!

The Nets' starters in this game are Kidd, Chen Xiao, Richard Jefferson, Martin and McCloch, as I said before.

As for the Timberwolves, tonight's starting point guard is Troy Hudson, who is 1.85 meters, and the shooting guard is Anthony Peeler, center, and Rasu Nesterovic, a white center who is 2.13 meters. The forward is Lauren Woods, who is 2.16 meters.

Here comes the question, what about Garnett?

The boss of the Timberwolves, Chen Xiao's idol, where is Garnett?

That's right, in this game, Garnett's position is small forward...

Therefore, before the start of the game, on the court, the Nets small forward Richard Jefferson, who stood with Garnett, felt tremendous pressure.

Whoever is fighting next to a big man who is officially 2.11 meters and actually 2.16 meters, the pressure is quite a lot, not to mention that he looks so tough and so fierce.

So much so that before the game even started, Chen Xiao, who was looking at Garnett across the middle circle, caught a glimpse of Richard Jefferson, who was competing with him for the third child these days, sweating uncomfortably.

‘Won’t Wonder Boy tell Garnett that I’m going to bully a rookie if I black Garnett just now? Otherwise, why did Garnett play small forward in the game against the Nets? '

"Karnett won't 'crack' me in this game?!"

To be reasonable, in this era, Garnett's deterrence is definitely not just for rookies.

Regardless of whether it is inside or outside the league, any offensive player will panic when he sees Garnett.

Garnett's offense may not be so perfect, but Garnett's defense is really top!

Of course, it was Chen Xiao that Garnett wanted to abuse in this game, but Richard Jefferson next to him misunderstood him.

In this era, Garnett often took turns on the court.

If the opponent's outside offense is strong, Garnett's position will shift the center of gravity to the outside and play the small forward. If the opponent's inside offense is strong, he will play the power forward on the inside.

The Nets are really an offensive team.

Both McCloch and Martin, the starting insiders, do not have the ability to attack independently. Moderate defense is enough, and Garnett is not needed for single defense.

It's just that Chen Xiao, who didn't know what Garnett was thinking at this time, saw Garnett looking at him like this, and thought...

He is looking at me!

He is still looking at me!

Look at me, look at me, I will call you hehehe!

Keke, just kidding.

In fact, the two had already met when they came out of the player tunnel.

His idol was as cold as he imagined!

"Boy, you did a good job."

Gao Leng and Chen Ling hugged each other, Gao Leng spoke to Chen Ling, Gao Leng patted Chen Ling's shoulder, then turned and left.

Idol, isn't that what it feels like?

Before the start of this match, Chen Xiao was still worried that his idol would be shattered, but now it seems that his worry is unnecessary.

So, facing Garnett's gaze, Chen Ling's gaze was open, pure, and adoring. The admiration was almost the same as when Kwame Brown saw Garnett.

This makes it difficult for Garnett.

It's all agreed, I'm going to abuse this kid tonight, and teach him a lesson, why did my heart soften when I was about to strike?

Am I now, or the same me I used to be?

Garnett shook his head after being a little dazed, no, it's not at all.

Forget it, for the sake of being as well-behaved as Kwame, let me let you go first.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was looking at Garnett with burning eyes, had no idea that he had avoided a 'crisis' with his big worshiping eyes.

At the start of the game, the 2.16-meter Timberwolves insider Lauren Woods easily defeated the white brother McCloch with a jump ball, and the Timberwolves started the first attack of the game.

The Timberwolves' offense is actually very simple. The Timberwolves' starting point guard Hudson is actually a dribbling guard and a finisher.

The real playmaker for the Timberwolves is Garnett.

A 2m 16 organizer!

This is too good.

After Hudson dribbled the ball for halftime, Garnett made a screen for him, and the ball came to Garnett hand-to-hand. Facing Richard Jefferson's itchy close defense, Garnett stood at the three-point line at the top of the arc very comfortably, picked up his hands and smashed it in. Hudson staggered Kidd, who followed him a step behind, and directly hit a mid-range jumper.

This offense is too simple, relying on Garnett's ability to screen and pass the ball. Hudson's long-range two-point shooting percentage last season was as high as 43%, which is quite accurate. defender.

"Kidd was hung up by Garnett just now and gave Hudson a shooting opportunity. It's not that Kidd's defense is not good, it's that Garnett's pick-and-roll quality is too high!"

Teacher Zhang was admiring.

It's not just Mr. Zhang who admires it, in fact, Byron Scott, the head coach of the Nets at this time, is also admired.

"When will our Martin be able to practice to the level of Garnett?"

Garnett: I want to fart!

Martin: meow meow~

In fact, Kenyon Martin's template for the draft was Garnett.

But more than two years later, Kenyon Martin is getting farther and farther away from Garnett.

Garnett’s mid-range shot, Kenyon Martin has practiced for two years, but he didn’t practice it. Take the long-distance two-pointer as an example. When Martin was a rookie, his shooting percentage was 1.2 out of 3.3 shots. For a rookie, this is actually not bad. , exceeding 35%, but in the second grade, Martin's long-range two-point shooting percentage became 29.6%, not only the shooting percentage became lower, but he also didn't want to shoot.

Besides Garnett's ability to handle and organize the ball, Kenyon Martin has the ability to pass the ball and organize, but the vision is simply useless.

The Nets selected Martin with the No. 1 pick in the hope that he could become a star player, but his abilities in all aspects have not reached the star level.

If you want to say who is the most standard beggar version of Garnett in the NBA, it is definitely Kenyon Martin.

As an insider, like Garnett, he can do everything, Garnett can do everything, most of them are all-stars, while Kenyon Martin can do everything, he can do everything at the top role player level, and none of them has reached the level star class.

It's useless, but it's actually quite useful. It's all-round, with a score of about 75-80 in all attributes. Basically, Martin can perform well against any opponent.

But if you expect more, then don't expect it.

By Kidd's side, he played two regular seasons in his career, with a career high of 31 points, and only once in his career when he scored more than 30 points.

Players like Martin are actually more useful in the playoffs than in the regular season. It is best to play in the playoffs without any shortcomings.

However, I really can't be the second master, and don't expect him to do more.

At the end of the day, he's still a big role player.

The Nets are such a team with all role players except Kidd.

For such a team, it doesn't really matter if they are the second or third.

But Martin doesn't see it that way.

The idea of ​​the Nets executives wanting to help Chen Xiao gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Therefore, after the game between the Nets and the Timberwolves started, Martin demanded the ball strongly and wanted to perform.

Faced with the strength of Kenyon Martin, Lauren Woods, who was playing against Kenyon Martin, worked very hard.

But don't forget that Martin is a good insider. You are taller and stronger than me, but not as flexible as me. Martin, who is in the inside position, twisted Lauren Woods unconscious like a butterfly.

After twisting Lauren Woods unconscious, Martin opened his hands outward. Based on his knowledge of Kidd's pass, as long as his opportunity arises, the ball must be in his hands.

But when Martin turned sideways and looked at Kidd with his hands open, what he saw was not the basketball passed by Kidd.

What I saw was Chen Xiao who was already facing the Timberwolves' 1.85 meter small guard at the left corner.

Kidd and Chen Xiao made a pick-and-roll at the corner. After Kidd helped Chen Xiao get stuck on the defensive player Anthony Peeler, Chen Xiao faced the 1.85-meter Hudson and shot comfortably.

Anthony Peeler is a stocky shooting guard.

Chen Xiao was very uncomfortable just now.

When Kidd came to pick and roll with him just now, Chen Xiao was taken aback.

The first time I was scared, it was because the boss in the NBA rarely picks and rolls for the younger brother, and the pick-and-roll is also the pick-and-roll for the boss.

The younger brother contributes, and the boss gets a chance to attack.

And Kidd, the boss of this team, the top superstar in the league, can put down his body to pick and roll for him!

You know, Kidd is not only the boss, but because he can't shoot, the pick-and-roll is easy for his teammates to double-team, so it is much more difficult for him to play the pick-and-roll than other guards like Nash.

This is touching.

And Chen Ling's second shock was that Piller, who had almost turned him off just now, was easily stuck by Kidd.

"Boss Ji's strength is amazing!"

With a sound of swiping, the basketball thrown by Chen Xiao was hollowly swiped into the net.

2 hits!

2 to 2!

The Nets quickly equalized the score!

"Is this still the same positional battle as the Nets last season?"

The Nets' offense surprised the Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders next to him.

Under the leadership of Kidd this season, the Nets’ style is counterattack. Because Kidd’s shooting is not good and the Nets players’ offense is unstable, the Nets rarely pick and roll. Pick and roll is the basic tactic of the NBA. You can only direct traffic pass by pass.

In fact, this is the style of positional warfare on the Nets this season. Kidd holds the ball to direct the traffic. After Kidd passes the ball, he directs his teammates how to pass the ball. Anyway, there is always a chance when passing the ball. If there is no chance, he will throw it Ah, bet on feel, bet on hit.

To be reasonable, such a team can reach the finals in the end, it is really thanks to the weakness of the East and the strength of Kidd.

"This Net is no longer the Net we know!"

The Nets actually have a special pick-and-roll tactic. The pick-and-roll cooperation between Wonder Boy and Kidd is indeed a special pick-and-roll cooperation, right? !

In fact, it is very simple to verify this.

Just play a few more rounds to know.

The Timberwolves attacked, Garnett stepped into the three-point line, faced Richard Jefferson's defense, and hit a long-range two-pointer.

This is Garnett's stunt, Jagged big shot!

4 to 2!

Looking back, Garnett appeared on the left this time to help defend, while Chen Xiao and Kidd were on the right, playing another pick-and-roll.

Following the example, after Chen Xiao blocked Hudson for Kidd's pick-and-roll, Kidd hit Peeler with the ball, dribbled the ball with his back against Peeler, and passed the ball to the misplaced Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao once again Facing Hudson, he made a mid-range shot!

Such a strong Piller was released by Kidd after Chen Ling made a move.

After Chen Xiao hit, she didn't celebrate, but looked at Kidd admiringly.

"Boss, you are too strong!"

Facing Chen Xiao's admiration, Kidd just smiled slightly.

"Except for shooting, I am invincible."

Except for shooting, I am invincible...

Chen Xiao was deeply shocked by Kidd's words.

In fact, Kidd did not say a word after that.

Afraid that Chen Xiao would be proud.

Guess what?

Even if Kidd didn't say the second part, such a powerful Kidd, such a selfless boss, still made Chen Xiao excitedly dance in front of Kidd and opposite Garnett.

bang bang bang!

Aww~!

At this time, the Timberwolves head coach on the sidelines and Martin, who was about to be in place again for a long time, all looked at the crazy Chen Xiao and the smiling Kidd with complicated eyes.

The same sentence popped out of both of their minds.

"The times have changed!"

However, at this time, no one except Richard Jefferson noticed that Garnett's hands had already formed a shape like wolf's claws.

Looking at those two pairs of powerful big paws, Richard Jefferson found that his back was already sweating crazily.

"If you get your head caught by these two pairs of big claws, you will definitely be caught and exploded, right?!"

In this game, I will definitely get my head scratched by Garnett, right? !

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

After Chen Ling's wolf dance started, hearing the cheers and laughter from around, Garnett's originally dark face was as black as an iron pan.

I was going to let this kid go, but now it seems that I, Kevin Garnett, will still bully the rookie for a while in this game!

bump!

bump!

The strength and sound of the two hammers hitting the chest were not comparable to Chen Ling's.

The effect is just like a hammer and a toy hammer!

"Boy, get ready to lie down!"
