I’m Really Playing Basketball

85 to 82!

Relying on rookie Chen Xiao's 11-for-22 and 28 points in a single game, the Eastern powerhouse Nets defeated the Western powerhouse Spurs 85-82 in a focus game.

After the game, when the players of the Nets returned to the locker room, as the boss of the Nets, Kidd could no longer control his emotions. After hugging Chen Xiao fiercely to express his gratitude, he laughed loudly. laughed.

Defeating the Spurs may not be that important to the Nets.

But for Kidd, it is extremely important.

Duncan was the regular season MVP of the 0102 season, and this season is also one of the biggest favorites for the NBA regular season MVP.

Among the current super giants in the NBA, O'Neal injured his toe at the beginning of the season and his return date is undetermined. With his current play style, he basically bid farewell to the regular season MVP competition.

As for Allen Iverson of the 76ers, with Mutombo's old age, Iverson himself cannot support the record of the 76ers.

As for Garnett of the Timberwolves and Carter of the Raptors, limited by the strength of the team, it is difficult to launch an impact on the MVP of the regular season this season.

At the beginning of this season, Tracy McGrady and Kobe performed fiercely, but the Lakers are now 2 wins and 6 losses without O'Neal.

As long as Kobe doesn't prove that he is the boss of the team that can lead the team to victory without O'Neal, it is impossible for him to win the MVP.

The Magic's record is very good, 5 wins and 3 losses, but the strength of the Magic is still too weak. After 82 games, who knows what will happen? Anyway, there is a high probability that there is no way to be in the top four in the league.

Perhaps McGrady will be the biggest challenger to Duncan and Kidd this season, but it is not easy to really get the MVP.

It can be said that as long as there are no major injury risks, the regular season MVP competition this season will be between Kidd and Duncan.

For two directly competing opponents, when the gap in record and data cannot be widened, the direct victory or defeat is very important.

You know, in the final result of the MVP of the regular season last season, Kidd was second and Duncan was first, and the gap between the two was extremely small.

Before the MVP results came out, most people were optimistic about Kidd's.

In Kidd's first year with the Nets, he brought a team competing for the No. 1 pick to No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. This improvement in record is too domineering.

But when the results were finally announced, Kidd lost the MVP with 27.38% of the votes, and Duncan won the MVP with 29.12% of the votes.

With a gap of less than 2%, it hurts a bit to lose.

The main reason is that although the Spurs are second in the Western Conference, they are also second in the league.

Although the Nets are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, they rank fifth in the league.

The record is a little bit worse.

So the question is, why was everyone optimistic about Kidd before the results were announced?

very simple.

Last season, Kidd led the Nets and double-killed the Spurs!

Of course, these two games are also related to Parker's injury and absence.

But no matter what, Kidd has now won three games in a row against the Spurs. As long as the data record this season is not too far behind Duncan, the MVP is basically in Kidd's pocket.

Kidd's scoring average has dropped this season, but the statistics are really impressive.

Averaged 14 points, 7.5 rebounds, 14.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game. This data, the old Stockton.

As for the record of the Nets in the Eastern Conference, there is actually no need to worry so much. In the first year of last year, Kidd was able to lead the Nets to 52 wins. With supplements, it is difficult for the Nets to have a worse record.

Therefore, after this crucial game, Kidd's MVP possibility has reached 60%, unless there will be a god-man in the NBA this season.

Or Duncan's superb performance the rest of the season.

For Boss Ji's lead in the MVP competition, Chen Xiao is of course very happy for Boss Ji.

To be reasonable, Boss Ji treated him really well in the team.

Moreover, Chen Xiao thinks that Boss Kei is the standard NBA team's MVP template, and the Nets have Boss Kei, but without Boss Kei, Chen Ling thinks that he, Martin and Richard Jefferson will be in a mess. Can't do anything.

This is no joke.

Boss Ji's combing and control of the Nets is excellent!

If Boss Ji still regrets losing the MVP this year, Chen Xiao will feel sorry for him.

Of course, seeing Boss Ji, as the super giant of the league, launching an attack for the first MVP of his career, to be honest, Chen Xiao was still very envious.

"I don't know when, I will have such a day?"

He knows that as long as he keeps working hard and keeps moving forward, he will always become a super giant like Boss Kee and Duncan who can affect the league.

Chen Xiao was looking forward to it.

After defeating the San Antonio Spurs at home, on November 14, 2002, the Nets sat at home and once again ushered in a powerful team in the West.

The Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki and Nash.

This game is not a nationally televised game.

Speaking of this matter, Chen Xiao and Richard Jefferson, the young people of the Nets, were angry. After the second quarter of the last nationally broadcast game against the Spurs, the ratings plummeted!

In the last game against the Spurs, Chen Xiao and Richard Jefferson performed very well, but because the game was too ugly, many American audiences did not appreciate it.

For this, Chen Xiao and Richard Jefferson were full of resentment towards the Spurs and Popovich.

Of course, although Chen Xiao was not recognized by the audience, facing Bowen's defense in the last game, Chen Xiao scored 11 of 22 and scored 28 points, which was recognized by many professionals.

Not to mention experts and celebrities, his idol Garnett even called him a surprise call.

"You actually made that guy so embarrassed during the game, hahahaha, I'm so happy to see that bad guy getting mad at you like that!"

"Idol, maybe he is really a good person..."

"Good guy? Hahahahaha..."

Facing Chen Xiao's weak explanation, the idol on the other end of the phone smiled even more happily.

The game between the Nets and the Mavericks at home is not broadcast live in the United States.

But in China, it must be a nationally broadcast game.

If Wang Zhizhi had not left the Mavericks, this game would even be a Chinese derby.

After Wang Zhizhi left the Mavericks, he has not been able to find an NBA team that can accept him.

After all, he played in the Asian Games when he returned to China, and the regular season started when he returned to the NBA. Which team would still want him.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Wang Zhizhi was signed by the lacking Miami Heat.

And this is really interesting, Chen Xiao and Ba Ge are in the Nets, and Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi are in the Heat.

Four NBA Chinese players were paired up in pairs.

In the future Chinese Derby, it will be super doubled.

Hey, why did I suddenly rhyme all of a sudden?

Closer to home, although this game with the Mavericks does not have the gimmick of the Chinese Derby, it is very important.

Because the current Dallas Mavericks are the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, with 8 wins and 1 loss. They just lost to the Houston Mosaic team led by Super God Jay Williams a few days ago.

Nowitzki and Nash are in really good shape this season.

"The Dallas Mavericks are currently the No. 1 team in the West with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss, while the Nets are 7 wins and 2 losses. This game is not so easy for the Nets."

Teacher Zhang is vaccinating the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

And at the scene, Chen Xiao went to say hello to his old friend from the Dallas Mavericks after the longer and longer opening speech.

Chen Xiao and Nowitzki met at the World Championships. The Chinese team played against the German team twice in this year's World Championships.

Chen Xiao even stole Nowitzki's World Championship MVP.

The two can be regarded as not knowing each other, and they were selected as the best team of the World Championships together.

"Chen, your performance in the NBA this season is shocking."

Nowitzki is really not a compliment.

In the first nine games of his career, Chen Xiao scored 20+ points in 8 games. The only game with less than 20 points was the game against the Pacers, where he scored 19 points.

It has now scored 20+ points in six consecutive games.

A lot of media are hyping whether it is possible for Chen Xiao to play alongside Duncan, David Robinson, or Mourning who have scored 20 points in 13 consecutive games as a rookie.

As a rookie, and a rookie on the outside, it is quite shocking to have such incredible scoring stability.

Now many people are paying attention to the impact of Chen Xiao's height and wingspan on his scoring stability at the 2nd position.

Chen Xiao's dynamic talent is terrible, but her static talent is too outstanding!

As long as other teams in the league don't double-team Chen Xiao and let Chen Xiao fight any shooting guard in the league one-on-one, he can become a high fort that is difficult to defend.

Especially beside Kidd, there is a bodyguard like Boozer.

As long as his mental quality is good enough, it is difficult for him to have a scoring shortage, as evidenced by the fourth quarter game against the Spurs.

With Chen Xiao's height and wingspan, even if he doesn't have a good touch and is a good defensive player, as long as he takes enough shots, his shooting percentage can always return to about 40%.

Scoring shortage?

nonexistent!

Therefore, many experts are now discussing whether Chen Xiao's dynamic talent is extremely bad, and he can't be the core player of the team. Is it possible to become the strongest offensive role player in NBA history.

Of course, Chen Xiao knew the public opinion of many experts and celebrities in the United States.

Greatest offensive role player of all time?

Chen Xiao doesn't just want to be a role player in her future!

After Chen Xiao and Nowitzki finished their greetings, the two teams finished warming up on the field, and the game began.

The starting lineup for the Mavericks in this game is center Sean Bradley. This is the center that Barkley said is better than Yao Ming.

The power forward is Dirk Nowitzki, whom Chen Xiao is very familiar with, and he is also the head player of the Dallas Mavericks.

The small forward is Adrian Griffin, a pure role player.

The shooting guard is Chen Xiao's old acquaintance in the Dream Five team, Michael Finley, the one who played 50-50 with Dong Ge in the World Championships, one of the Mavericks' three stars.

The point guard is Nash. If it wasn't for Nash's sudden withdrawal from the World Championships, maybe Chen Xiao could also become good friends with Nash in the World Championships. After all, the Dream Team Five is really a magic tool for making friends. We have worked together on the Dream Team Five, no matter whether we succeed or not It is all about revolutionary friendship.

As for the Nets, the lineup of Martin, Boozer, Richard Jefferson, Chen Xiao and Kidd remains unchanged.

During the jump ball in this game, Martin, who had been failing to jump the ball, finally succeeded in jumping the ball once in this game.

The tallest player in the league, Sean Bradley, who was taller than Yao Ming, actually lost the jump ball to Martin, who was more than 20 centimeters shorter than him.

However, is this accident?

It doesn't seem surprising.

Martin's bullet speed and jump height are not comparable to Bradley's.

Jumping ball, in fact, height is not that important.

Not only Bradley, but Yao Ming's jump ball is actually not good.

In short, the New Jersey Nets finally won a jump ball, which made the Nets fans at the scene very excited.

What made the Nets fans even more excited was that in the first attack of the Nets, under the cover of Boozer, Chen Xiao received a pass from Kidd and made an almost open three-pointer at the top of the arc. The Nets kicked off the fast-paced horn of this game!

3 to 0!

The Nets played back-to-back games at home, but the players were in surprisingly good offensive form.

This was also suppressed by the Spurs.

There is a saying in the NBA now.

Spurs fight, sows match Diaochan!

After playing such an anti-human game with the Spurs, it was really kind to see the Mavericks on and off the net!

For a team without defense like the Mavericks, what kind of sow is it? It is Xi Shi Diaochan itself!

Now, go one step further and become Chang'e, Nine Heavens Profound Girl.

The entire Nets team, these young people who had been held back by the Spurs for a whole game, screamed.

Even as the boss of Iron Tree, seeing the sister Chang'e in front of him in this game, he would like the Iron Tree to bloom once.

Under the leadership of Nelson, the Dallas Mavericks focused on offense and speed. As a power forward, Nowitzki is the kind who can run, jump and fast break.

However, this calf has obviously not been polished by the old Nelson, because the center position is still 2 meters 29 Bradley.

Bradley is considered fast at this height, and his skills are also comprehensive. Apart from speed, he very much meets the requirements of old Nelson.

However, in a team that emphasizes speed, isn't it awkward to keep a 2.29-meter center forward?

It is indeed very awkward.

Often, after Nash and Nowitzki rushed to the front, Bradley was still walking behind.

Very divisive.

However, Bradley's role in positional warfare and defensive end is still very obvious.

The Mavericks have no defense outside, all pointing to Bradley protecting the frame inside.

However, he was protecting Martin and Richardson, but he couldn't protect Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao's offensive range was all outside the free throw line, and Bradley couldn't get out at all.

Therefore, as long as Boozer's screen quality is high enough, Chen Xiao will have a lot of opportunities!

Three points!

Two points!

Two points!

Three points!

Seeing Chen Xiao being so active on the court with the support of Boozer and Kidd, the old Nelson on the sidelines was also shining strangely.

"Too confident!"

"This kid is too confident!"

After a burst of admiration, Old Nelson sighed again.

Chen Xiao's self-confidence reminded him of Wang Zhizhi.

"It would be great if Wang could have such confidence and extroversion..."

Old Nelson shook his head helplessly.

Looking back on that former disciple, I am full of regrets.

Even Chen Xiao could see the current split of the Mavericks, how could Old Nelson not be able to see it.

In the old Nelson's original plan, the Mavericks' starting center is now Wang Zhizhi!

That Wang Zhizhi who shocked the world in the Olympics, who can attack, defend and run!

In his design, Wang Zhizhi should have replaced Bradley long ago.

In his fantasy, Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki, if they can both achieve the growth goals he set, are the inside combinations that best meet his requirements.

Because of his personality, Wang Zhizhi did not grow up to meet the requirements, so he could only continue to use Bradley.

It takes time to train new players, and it is difficult to find a suitable center forward. Who is willing to give you an excellent center forward?

In the end, Old Nelson could only make do with Bradley, even if he knew it was inappropriate for his own style, he could only use it like this.

It has to be said that Brother Wang is not only cheating himself, but also others.

His career was ruined.

The growth time of Nelson Sr. and the Mavericks was wasted.

If there is no Chen Xiao, the Chinese men's basketball team will probably be cheated to death this year.

It is definitely impossible for the Chinese men's basketball team, which has been trapped by internal and external troubles by Wang Zhizhi, to get second in the World Championships, and it may even lose the Asian Games.

The Mavericks, the Chinese team, plus himself... It's like three people in the pit...

However, because the centers of most teams in the league are now big centers, Bradley is actually not slow or tricky when facing most teams in the league.

He just can't keep up with the speed of Nowitzki Nash and the others. It doesn't mean that he can't keep up with the opponent's speed, and the opponent's center is not fast.

But the Nets are different.

The two insiders of the Nets are Martin and Boozer, both of which are small insiders, not big insiders.

When the five of the Nets and the four of the Mavericks ran happily, Bradley was desperate.

"where am I?"

"who I am?"

"What am I going to do?"

Bradley wanted to cry as he ran, because he found that he couldn't do anything on the court!

It was as if he had been abandoned by this world.

Of course, Bradley felt abandoned, but the Nets fans at the scene really felt that the world was full of love again.

After the first quarter of the game between the Nets and the Mavericks, the Nets fans felt as if they had washed their eyes.

It's not an exaggeration, this is the style of the Spurs in this era.

This is why the Spurs led by Popovich and the Pistons led by Popovich's master, the two teams meeting in the finals, will make David Stern want to commit suicide.

This is why the Pistons won the championship, the fans of the Pistons, and the management of the Pistons can't stand Larry Brown and his Piston, so they must be dismantled.

It can only be said that the San Antonio fans of this era are really great!

Why do you say San Antonio fans?

Because apart from San Antonio fans in this era, there are very few Spurs fans in other places, most of them are fans of the general and Duncan...

Speaking of the game, in the first quarter, the Nets and Mavericks, the two offensive teams this season, had a good kill. In the second quarter, the two teams did not back down at all, and they still killed the sky.

At the end of the halftime game, the score of the two teams has become 58 to 52. In this era, this score is very high.

Many NBA teams, with over 100 points at home, will send fans hamburgers or other things to celebrate.

The two teams are desperately fighting for offense in this game, but relatively speaking, the details are very important in a master's game.

The "blind spot" of Bradley, the Mavericks, is okay for playing against an average team, but it is somewhat magnified when playing against a master team like the Nets.

In this game, the Mavericks point guard Nash is in a very hot state, and Nowitzki is also in a good state, but the Mavericks always feel that they can't keep up with the rhythm of the Nets.

That's why Bradley.

In the end, in an offensive battle, the Nets defeated the No. 1 Dallas Mavericks in the West 114-105 at home.

Chen Xiao played 38 minutes in the game, made 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 26 points and 2 rebounds.

In addition, Kidd, the boss of the Nets, scored 9 of 20, scored 22 points, 18 assists, 9 rebounds, 5 steals, and 5 turnovers.

In this game, Ji Ge was stimulated by Nash on the opposite side.

In this game, Nash scored 12 of 18, scored a game-high 30 points and had 9 assists.

If you want to talk about the entire league, who can stimulate the now very "professional" base boss, then Nash is one of them.

As for the reason, hehe, you can guess.

In addition to Chen Xiao, Kidd and Nash, Richard Jefferson, Finley and Nowitzki also scored more than 20 points in this game.

In a game, three players from each of the two teams scored 20 points. It can be seen how open the two teams played in this game.

Scoring 26 points in this game also allowed Chen Xiao to score 20 points in 7 consecutive games.

This game was not broadcast live across the United States, and Chen Xiao's 20+ consecutive games did not show up, so it did not cause overwhelming heated discussions in the United States, but only a small-scale discussion in professional circles.

But in China, that is not the case.

Yao Ming's performance in the Heat this season is also very good. There is no doubt that Chen Xiao's performance is better than Yao Ming.

Therefore, after the game, Mr. Zhang and domestic reporters frantically asked him about the 20+ in a row.

"I don't intend to break anyone's data. It would be great if I can achieve it, but I will not deliberately pursue it. In the Nets, I only need to do what the team needs me to do. Other things, follow the fate."

Chen Xiao answered very truthfully.

However, in the Nets, he is the main offensive player. He is in the Nets. The team does not require him to pass the ball, does not require him to rebound, and does not require him to be serious about defense, as long as he scores.

So, the truth is the truth, but Chen Xiao felt that even if he didn't deliberately pursue it, he might not be able to stop scoring.

Even if he doesn't want to attack, head coach Byron Scott, team boss Kidd, teammates Martin, Richard Jefferson, Boozer will force him to attack.

Only when he is happy can they be happy.

Therefore, he can be so comfortable in the Nets.

Therefore, the chemical reaction of this Nets this season is so good.

No kidding, under Chen Xiao's strategy of adding points based on the needs of the Nets, Chen Xiao and the Nets have indeed merged into one.

They defeated the two powerful Spurs and Mavericks in the West one after another at home. On November 16, the Nets ushered in the challenge of the Nuggets in the West at home.

The goal of the Nuggets this season is to compete for LeBron James.

Facing the Nets, a team that can only lose reasonably, if the Nuggets win, it will be a crime against themselves!

Therefore, in this game, the Nuggets, like the Clippers, had no resistance at all, and lost 79 to 109.

In this game, except for the Nuggets' substitute Kenny Seidfield who scored in double figures, none of the other players scored in double figures!

To paddle to such an extent, that is insane.

In this game, Chen Xiao played three quarters, 9 of 14, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored a game-high 24 points.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Bago scored 6 of 8 against his old team and scored 15 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

After defeating the Nuggets, the Nets' record came to 9 wins and 2 losses, still second only to the Pacers with 9 wins and 0 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference and second in the league.

At the same time, Chen Xiao's 20+ consecutive games came to 8 games.

After the game against the Nuggets, neither the American media nor the domestic media paid attention to Chen Xiao's 8 consecutive games of 20+.

Because, the next opponent of the Nets is too special.

"Chen, prepare to accept our merciless whipping!"

Miami, looking at the schedule in hand, Wade is very excited.

Yao Ming next to him, though shy, was equally excited.

ps: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription! ! !

ps: Except for assists, Boss Ji’s stats are all real. Boss Boss often comes with buffs when playing against Nash, hahaha.

The most frenzied confrontation between the two was on December 7, 2006, 161 to 157.
