I’m Really Playing Basketball

November 13, 2002, Continental Aviation Center, New Jersey.

In the hot atmosphere at the scene, the Spurs players walked out of the player channel confidently with their heads up and chests up.

Duncan, David Robinson, Steve Jackson, Bruce Bowen, Steve Kerr...

All of them are big names in the NBA.

Even players like Duncan and David Robinson, historical players who are destined to become important members of NBA history.

Since 1997, after the Spurs acquired Duncan, this team has always been a pivotal team in the entire league.

Of course, now, the New Jersey Nets standing opposite this team is also an important team in the entire league.

At the same time, the Nets also have a player who is sure to become an important part of NBA history in the future, Jason Kidd.

And even more coincidentally, Kidd and Duncan are direct competitors for the NBA regular season MVP this season.

Now the MVP odds of the two are leading the entire league. It can be seen that the bookmaker is very optimistic that these two can become the big winners of this year's regular season.

Therefore, the focus of this nationwide live broadcast is naturally on these two super giants.

The main character is normal.

The direct confrontation between the two in this game will have a great impact on the mvp of this year's regular season.

However, when the players of the Nets appeared one by one amidst the crazy shouts of the DJ on the scene, someone still snatched the shots of the two protagonists.

"He's the NCAA champion!"

"He's the MOP of the NCAA National Championship!"

"He is a beast from the north!"

"He has a pair of eyes that can overlook everything!"

"From Milwaukee to New Jersey, from the Great Lakes to the Hudson River, his coldness froze the rivers and lakes, and his eyes shattered the earth!"

"He was our hero in the Boston lore!"

"He's the goldfinch of the shot blocking basketball god!"

"He is the Violet who convinced Michael Jordan!"

"He is the angel who brought us magic!"

"Our number 7!"

"Chen—Xiao!"

Amid the wild cheers of Nets fans, Chen Xiao walked out with her hands raised high in response to the cheers.

At this time, the Nets audience at the scene and many Chinese audiences in front of the TV were used to Chen Xiao's longer and longer introductions.

"The violet is the state flower of New Jersey, and the goldfinch is the state bird of New Jersey. Chen Xiao used his incredible performance this season to conquer the New Jersey fans. The New Jersey fans are willing to let Chen Xiao represent the entire New Jersey. This is Chen Xiao's victory. This is also a victory for the Chinese!"

Teacher Zhang was still so excited. After Teacher Zhang finished speaking excitedly, the Chinese audience in front of the TV were also very excited.

Anyway, there are not many people who can understand all those secondary words.

Even if Mr. Zhang could translate it, at Mr. Zhang's age, he would not be able to translate that kind of full second sense.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Xiao's introduction is getting longer and longer, they can hear it.

The longer it is, the more famous it is!

According to traditional Chinese culture, the longer the introduction on the front of the business card, the more prestigious it is indeed!

And listen to what Mr. Zhang said, it is both the state flower and the state bird, which can represent the entire state of New Jersey!

This is so inspiring and a sense of pride.

However, for the American audience and the Spurs players at the scene, the Nets' introduction to Chen Xiao was shocking.

The several national live broadcasts of the Nets are all away games, and the home game has not yet appeared on the national live broadcast. Therefore, the American audience and the Spurs players who watched the Nets' home game for the first time were caught off guard by Chen Xiao , and the elongated introduction was shocked.

"Were Jordan's previous introductions this long?"

"In many teams, all the starting players on the team don't add up to such a long time?"

In fact, for most teams in the NBA, the words introduced by the team's starters may not be as long as Chen Xiao's.

For example, the Spurs.

"It's the first time I've seen such a boastful player in the NBA!"

Parker was really stunned.

Westerners are already extroverted enough, but why do they feel that this Easterner is even more extroverted than them?

This is too blown!

"They really have the face to say it, and the alliance doesn't care?"

To be honest, Tony Parker felt envious of his real name.

"Whatever it is, although the introduction is a bit long, it's all true."

Seeing the teasing of the teammates around Chen Xiao, Ginobili couldn't help explaining to his friend.

To be reasonable, as an 'arrogant' young man who shared a 'common language' with Chen Xiao, Ginobili was also very envious of Chen Xiao's protracted and elongated introductory speech.

I am more envious than Parker.

but……

He can only play as a substitute for the team now, not a starter, and the team looks down on his defense.

He is also learning defense from Bao Wenxue recently, trying to learn defense well as soon as possible and start the game.

However, what makes Ginobili a little uncomfortable is.

He felt that he didn't learn any really useful defensive skills from Bowen.

I don't know if the bald man saved his hand, or if his defensive skills really have nothing to teach him.

Ginobili had an illusion. He felt that if he practiced defense with Bowen for a lifetime, he might not be able to practice a defense that meets the Spurs' starting requirements.

Am I going to be a lifelong substitute for the Spurs?

"Sure enough, I hate bald people the most!"

Ginobili shook his long, fluttering hair, feeling uneasy for a while.

Bowen next to him certainly didn't know that his image in the mind of his apprentice was now 'disgusting'.

When many Spurs players envied Chen Xiao, Bowen just looked at Chen Xiao with a silly smile.

After Chen Xiao's second-handed opening, the opening speeches of the other starters of the Nets were normal.

However, Chen Xiao's play was already stolen anyway.

In this regard, Chen Xiao didn't realize that he had robbed the team's boss.

After all, Chen Xiao really liked his increasingly long introduction.

And the reason why it can get longer and longer is not only because he likes it, but the fans of the Nets also like it very much.

Moreover, Kidd, the team's boss, also recognized it.

Boss Ji was behind him when he came out, and when Chen Ling came out, he could hear Boss Ji's laughter.

After all the players from the Nets came out, Chen Xiao and his teammates circled around and howled under the leadership of Kidd, then Chen Xiao went to the Spurs to find his good friend.

Manu Ginobili, one of the four demon kings of the World Championships who also caused the 911 tragedy in the American sports world for the World Championships.

"Manu, will you start this game?"

Speaking of this, Ginobili's expression turned pale, and he snarled at the simple and honest Spurs No. 12 bald man next to him.

After Chen Ling looked at the honest man next to him, Spurs, and smiled, he felt a little regretful.

To be honest, he really wants to fight Ginobili again.

Of course, Ginobili also thinks this way.

And that's why Ginobili always felt that Bowen was hiding something from him.

A direct competitor, it's him, and he also hides his secrets.

However, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Although Ginobili is also a rather rebellious person, he is not stupid.

"I heard you bought a house in New York?"

"Yeah, sit at my place after the game, you're the boss!"

Speaking of his big house, Chen Xiao is still very excited.

And Ginobili is even more sour.

When it comes to the World Championships tomorrow, his own strength will be higher than this kid.

Now……

Alas, the gap has come out.

He has become the starter of the Nets, made a lot of money in the Nets, and bought a big house.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

However, envy is envy, congratulations or congratulations.

Just when Chen Xiao and Ginobili, two old friends, hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a happy chat.

Chen Ling suddenly felt as if he was blocked by a mountain in front of him.

Looking up, a big man who looked more honest than Bowen had appeared next to him and Ginobili.

And the big man's left hand was already stroking the back of Ginobili's long-haired head like touching a marinated egg.

Spurs, No. 21, Duncan!

Seeing this NBA superstar standing in front of him with a dumb smile, Chen Xiao was really excited.

He hadn't gone to say hello to Duncan yet, but Duncan actually came to him directly after saying hello to Kidd.

This is so flattering.

"Hi, Tim."

"Hello, Wonder Boy."

Chen Xiao originally wanted to shake hands or hug Duncan.

Seeing Duncan stretch out his hand, Chen Xiao naturally stretched out his hand too.

However, what surprised Chen Xiao was that Duncan stretched out his hand, not to shake hands with him, but...

Duncan actually wanted to touch his hair as thick as Ginobili's.

Chen Xiao raised her head, opened her big innocent eyes, and just looked at Duncan who wanted to touch his hair.

To be stared at by such big eyes...

Duncan looked down at Chen Xiao's big eyes. He had already reached out to Chen Xiao's hair, but he couldn't continue to do so...

These innocent big eyes give people pressure, so big!

at last……

Duncan still opened his outstretched right hand, and finally took it back reluctantly, and just shook hands with Chen Xiao.

Seeing Chen Xiao's big innocent eyes, at that moment, he...

Pity……

In the NBA, where most of the guys are bald, it's really not easy to see a guy with hair and such thick hair.

Sure enough, it is really difficult to touch the hair of players from other teams.

Fortunately, I still have a teammate who I can slap at will.

"Manu, Duncan, he..."

"Leave him alone."

Ginobili said angrily that he had given up resisting this guy now.

He felt that coming to the Spurs was a very wrong decision.

Here, a bunch of weirdos!

The Nets are better, close to heaven and far from the devil. The key is that players without defense can also start.

Chen Xiao was the same as him, and his defense was the same.

But Chen Xiao is the starter of the Nets.

In the Nets, as long as there is an offense, you can get ahead.

The difficulty of getting ahead is much lower than that of the Spurs.

Chen Xiao was very happy to see old friends in this game. Generally speaking, the atmosphere before the game between the Nets and the Spurs was very friendly.

However, after the two teams warmed up, when Chen Xiao and the starters of the Nets were about to play, assistant coach Eddie Jordan reminded Chen Xiao.

"Chen, be careful of Bruce Bowen's black feet."

"..."

Chen Xiao blinked. Seriously, this is the Nth reminder he received before the start of this game.

There are Wade, Luo Ge and Dayao, as well as Ba Ge and Ji Boss. Now, the assistant coach of the team has also asked him to pay attention.

Of course Chen Xiao knew about Bo Wen's reputation.

But after seeing Bo Wen for the first time at Manu's side, Chen Xiao always felt that this thick-eyed and big-eyed guy didn't look like a bad guy.

"Eddie, I'll be careful."

Although curious about Bowen's contrast, Chen Xiao still nodded to Eddie Jordan seriously.

On the court, after Chen Xiao came on the court, there was Bo Wen standing next to him who was reminding him to be careful.

In the middle circle, Duncan beat Kenyon Martin with a jump ball and won the first wave of the game.

"Kenyon Martin's jump ball lost again, the San Antonio Spurs got the chance to open the first attack, Tony Parker dribbled the ball, Duncan screened for Bruce Bowen, Chen Xiao was blocked, Bruce Bowen scored two points, hit the iron!"

In the first round of the game, Duncan blocked the opportunity for Bowen, but in the end Bowen's mid-range shot hit the iron.

In this regard, Popovich on the sidelines was very patient.

The opportunity came out, but there was no way to get in.

What's more, the Spurs are not a good offensive team.

So after the opportunity hit the iron, the Spurs players and Bowen on the court were not upset. Bowen even smiled at Chen Xiaohan next to him.

This smile even gave Chen Ling the illusion that this person who everyone reminded him to be careful seemed to appreciate his appearance.

Against a player like that, seriously.

If everyone hadn't told him to be careful before the game started, he really couldn't believe that such a good-looking guy was actually the most distasteful 'executor' in the NBA.

What Chen Xiao didn't know was that it was precisely because many people had such thoughts at the beginning that Bo Wen was given so many opportunities.

Bowen, the old actor in the NBA.

The record has been so outstanding, there are still people who don't believe that he is a 'bad guy'.

It's not just Chen Xiao, such as Ray Allen, he still believes that his good buddy Bo Wen is innocent.

Ray Allen now believes that some of Bowen's actions on the court were amplified by malicious interpretation.

His good buddy Bowen is a simple, kind, honest old boy who loves basketball.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for a young man like Chen Xiao to be a little suspicious or curious about acting skills like Bowen's.

Just like Ray Allen, who was also watching the game in front of the TV at this time, this is what he thinks now.

"Look, Bruce is so gentle, and a person who supports the younger generation like this, is actually rumored to be a butcher and executioner by NBA rumors!"

Ray Allen thought, what is going on in this world?

Why are good people like him and Bowen always criticized?

And George Karl's kind of bad guy, that kind of devil in the world, can he be respected and respected?

In this regard, Ray Allen is very worthless for himself and Bowen.

On the court, it's the Nets' turn to attack.

Unlike the Spurs who deliberately suppressed their offensive rhythm on the offensive end, the Nets' rhythm is much faster.

And just like Popovich, the head coach of the Spurs on the sidelines, the Nets' offense revolved around Chen Xiao.

Martin, the center of the Nets, pays attention to Duncan's movements at the basket all the time. As long as Duncan's defense focus is on Chen Xiao, he will use his flexibility to attack the general one-on-one and create offense at the basket. Opportunity.

For example, the small forward Richard Jefferson of the Nets is also observing Duncan's movements. As long as Duncan is restrained by Chen Xiao to help defend, he is ready to cut to the basket at any time.

The offensive players of the Nets are almost always watching how much Chen Xiao can empty the Spurs' defense.

For Popovich, it is best for Bowen to catch Chen Xiao alone, and it is best for Duncan not to pay any attention to Chen Xiao, so that the other players of the Nets want to play against the general and Duncan. There are fewer opportunities to get opportunities in the composed insiders.

Therefore, in this game, he allowed Bo Wen to defend Chen Xiao at all costs. For this reason, he did not hesitate to break the seal for Bo Wen in this game.

On the court, Bowen was indeed working very hard and focused on carrying out Popovich's orders.

As usual, Boozer screened and rolled Chen Xiao at the top of the arc, but what surprised Boozer was that he, who has always been a pick and roll for Chen Xiao without any disadvantages, was actually snatched by Bowen this time.

Boozer's pick-and-roll is actually no problem, and the quality is still very high.

The key problem is not Boozer, but Bowen.

Bowen has too much experience.

Not being blocked by Boozer at all, he went around from the other side.

Chen Xiao passed from the right of Boozer, while Bowen passed from the left of Boozer. After the two bypassed Boozer, they met again at the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Chen Xiao, who had already received Kidd's pass, was a little surprised to see Bowen in front of him.

He has also played so many games in the NBA, and there are many defenders who can bypass Boozer's screen, but Chen Xiao has never seen someone who can bypass Boozer's screen so well and control the rhythm so well.

Artest doesn't even have such a good rhythm!

As long as Bo Wenzuo's rhythm is a little slower or a little bit overdue, Chen Xiao can directly make a move here.

Looking at Bo Wen who was already attached to her body, Chen Xiao, who was leaning against Bo Wen with the ball in his right hand, was very puzzled.

Does such a good defensive player really need to be so dark?

"Are you really going to lay a black foot on me?"

o(Д)っwhat? !

Giving Chen Ling some room to shoot, Bao Wen, who was waiting for Chen Ling to jump up, did not wait for Chen Ling to jump up, but instead waited for such a sentence that made him dumbfounded.

Not to mention Bo Wen, the referee next to him, upon hearing Chen Xiao's very clear words, woke up from his dazed state in an instant, and then fixed his eyes on Bo Wen's feet.

At this moment, Chen Xiao finally jumped into the small space left by Bo Wen.

Bowen, who was about to step his feet underneath, noticed that the referee next to him was staring at his feet almost like holding a magnifying glass.

Bao Wen could only follow Chen Ling and jumped up with a dark face.

Bo Wen's height is about the same as Chen Xiao's, maybe 1 cm shorter, but the difference in arm span between the two is 10 cm. If Chen Xiao leans back and kicks, it's a miracle that Bo Wen can block the shot!

Besides, he was late.

In fact, this defense, he was forced to jump up.

He didn't even think about jumping up in this defense!

Bowen was a little flustered.

Chen Xiao made a complete jump shot.

Swipe!

Three points hit!

3 to 0!

"Bruce, I knew you were a good guy!"

"..."
