I’m Really Playing Basketball

Facing Chen Xiao who turned around in advance and opened his arms to celebrate after the winning shot, the Jazz fans at the Delta Center fell into silence after the ball was scored.

Even coach Jerry Sloan, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, had his mouth wide open on the sidelines, as if he had never imagined such a thing, let alone seeing it before.

On the court, Kirilenko, who had just defended Chen Xiao, even wondered for a moment whether his defense disappeared the moment he took action.

Otherwise, how could he be so confident? !

How could he be sure to score with a shot like that and celebrate in advance? !

Kirilenko was doubting life at this time.

And Richard Jefferson doesn't care whether Kirilenko is doubting life or not, this time, he will definitely stop the central scene!

The last time Chen and Iverson had a buzzer-beater, he was stunned for a moment and didn't grab the shot!

So, this time, Richard Jefferson was really crazy. The moment the ball scored, he rushed in front of Chen Xiao like a "slide", turned his back to Chen Xiao, and knelt down on one knee. He also opened his arms, like a war horse carrying a hero back, and held his head high and confident like the hero!

Click! Click! Click!

Obviously, this time, Richard Jefferson's scene-stealing was very successful.

When all the cameramen and reporters at the scene rushed in front of Chen Xiao to take pictures, he embedded his figure into this classic picture.

Richard Jefferson squatted in front like a mount, Chen Xiao opened his arms like a hero, and not far behind them, Kirilenko was in a state of despair, doubting his life.

This is a very story-telling picture, a picture that is destined to become a world-class painting in the future.

In fact, this competition produced two world-class paintings.

One is this, and the other is a picture of the ball still flying in the air, and Chen Xiao is about to turn around but has not completely turned around.

As for this famous painting, it is impossible for anyone to get the popularity.

Therefore, seeing Richard Jefferson, Martin and Nets players being photographed by all the reporters with Chen Xiao at this time, they were a little sour.

"This kid is too fast!"

"And go your own way and don't let others go!"

"If we pose so well, how will we position ourselves?"

Kidd smiled slightly when he heard his teammates' complaints about Richard Jefferson.

really!

This time Chen Xiao's decisive victory shocked him so much!

It made him want to take advantage of the heat.

Now I can't rub it anymore.

Richard Jefferson was riding directly in front of Chen Xiao this time. He couldn't just run over and hug Chen Xiao's legs, right?

To do otherwise would be to ruin the picture.

This is not beautiful.

but……

To be honest, if their bodies weren't too big, both Boozer and Bago would have this idea at this time.

One person on one side, one person on one leg, just right.

And they did get their position in the Nets because they hugged Chen Xiao's legs.

Richard Jefferson is willing to ride for Chen Xiao in this game. What happened to Chen Xiao's leg pendant?

Oh, what a pity!

Although the Nets players were not able to catch up with the popularity of Chen Xiao's killer win.

I feel a little pity.

But being able to win this game still makes everyone on the Net very happy.

Everyone was applauding, Kidd and the Nets players were applauding, Byron Scott and Eddie Jordan were also applauding.

Of course I applaud Chen Xiao!

The biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game was Chen Xiao, who made 11 of 36 shots, hit the ball 25 times, and scored 31 points!

96 to 93!

For the fifth time in his NBA career, he still hasn’t missed a single buzzer-beater!

"Eddie, I feel that as long as we have Chen, we can win all key games!"

"Byron, Chen brought us much more than just a buzzer beater. Without Chen, facing a defense like the Jazz in this game, our score would definitely not be higher than the Kings' 91 points."

After Eddie Jordan finished speaking, Byron Scott nodded.

91 points, which was the most points scored by the Kings in a playoff series against the Jazz last season.

In this game, the Nets finally scored 96 points.

Without Chen Xiao, could the Nets score 90 points in front of the Jazz in this game?

Very hanging very hanging.

Maybe 85 points is very good.

Chen Xiao's ability to take over allowed him to bring at least 10 or more offensive points to the team!

Maybe ten or twenty years from now, fans will feel that Chen Xiao's shooting percentage in this game was so poor, and there is nothing to praise except for the buzzer beater.

But in fact, every shot he makes is for the team, and every hit brings great confidence to the team.

With him, every Nets player believes that we don’t have to panic until the end of our tactics and have to be patient. Anyway, there is someone behind us to give us the full answer.

This is the meaning of his iron and points!

Turn no chance rounds into points!

This is an ability only possessed by NBA offensive superstars.

Chen is not a superstar now, but he has such ability!

"He is a player born for the big scenes!"

"He has a brave heart!"

This game against the Jazz is the Nets' 40th regular season game this season.

The next game is more than half.

Before the halfway point of the schedule, Chen Xiao completed the fifth buzzer beater of his NBA career.

There is no doubt that Chen Xiao once again became the focus of everyone after the game with his winning goal and early celebration.

"Chen, before you made the winning shot this time, many people saw that you seemed hesitant, is that right?"

Can you all see my hesitation so accurately?

Not all of you are psychological masters, right?

Chen Xiao thought to himself in surprise.

"I was really hesitating at the time, because my 'Snake King True Eyes' told me that I only had one chance this time facing Andre's defense, and the success rate of this opportunity was only 30%. Andre's defense was great. great!"

"..."

The American reporters off the court are going crazy. Can they speak human words?

Hey, NBA officials, we need translation!

Ahem, I'm just kidding, anyway, these American reporters who are able to face any star with ease every time they meet Chen Xiao always make the whole atmosphere awkward.

As a result, many of their plans to stir up trouble with Chen Xiao were unable to be implemented.

"Chen, what you mean is that Kirilenko almost blocked your attack, and you basically had no room to attack, but why did you still take action in the end, and you were so confident that after taking action, you turned around early? Aren't you afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the whole world?"

After hearing this question, Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then an excited expression appeared on his face.

"Man, when you talk about this, I'm going to tell you about the Mamba Mentality of our Mamba Cult. The Mamba Mentality of our Mamba Cult is that we use all our strength and face it seriously. Every time you shoot, throw the basketball in your hand with the most confidence. As for how the opponent defends, it doesn't matter if it is defended by one person, two people, three people, four people or even five people. Whether the basketball can hit or not depends on God. The favor of God, and our Mamba spirit allows us to strive for God’s favor. God will not favor a weak person!”

"..."

Is this preaching for your Mamba religion?

This must be preaching for your Mamba religion, right? !

The American reporters at the scene were dumbfounded.

At this time, there were indeed many, many young people in front of the TV who were very interested in this Mamba religion.

"Awesome!"

In Cleveland, a certain high school student named Nick Young seemed to have light in his eyes at this time!

But also in Cleveland, the same high school students, some people's eyes were a little unbelievable.

"What's Mamba Mentality? Isn't it just throwing around?"

However, he is really handsome!

A little eager to try it!

In the Lakers locker room on the other side, when Chen Xiao continued to promote his Mamba Mentality, Kobe quickly snatched the remote control from O'Neal's hand and turned off the TV.

"poison……"

Stare~

"Bryant, I think what Boy Wonder said is very interesting. It doesn't matter if we listen to it again. If it can arouse my interest, I still want to join the church. Hahahaha, Bryant, don't leave yet. , as the leader of the Mamba Cult, you must be proficient in this kind of turnaround after a decisive victory. Show it to us in this game, hahahaha..."

This damn fat guy!

Act like a shark!

but……

That sure shot and that early turn were really shocking.

"Is this brought about by the 'Mamba Mentality'?"

Kobe didn't believe it.

but……

Recalling that boy's sincerity that didn't seem like a joke, but truly believed in the Mamba Mentality, did Kobe think he should give it a try?

Since I am the ‘Snake King’ and I don’t understand Mamba Mentality at all, is it inappropriate?

Kobe somewhat wanted to accept those shameful and secondary plans, but he was a little hesitant...

It’s so difficult!

What makes Kobe even more embarrassed is that before today's game between the Lakers and Clippers, reporters were full of questions about Mamba Mentality.

"Kobe, will you use your Mamba mentality, which is stronger than that of Wonder Boy, to complete an early turnaround in this game?!"

"Kobe, do you really not want to be here and let the fans in Los Angeles see what the strongest Mamba mentality looks like?"

"Kobe, many Hollywood stars came specially to watch your game after Wonder Boy defeated the Jazz. Are you sure you don't want to perform?"

"Kobe..."

Kobe was still hesitant at first, but now, he can't do it if he doesn't accept those settings and study that Mamba mentality!

Alas, this boy!

At this time, Chen Xiao, who had just finished promoting his Mamba Mentality, was feeling comfortable. Of course, he had no idea that he had just caused some 'little trouble' to his idol.

This time, he told the world that Mamba Mentality is more than just blacksmithing!

The Mamba Mentality brings not only iron, but also the miracles that humans crave most!

After tonight, he believes that those guys on the Internet will never laugh at his Mamba Mentality again!

Didn't the Wolf King spirit that they once laughed at shut up after the recent victory streak of Garnett leading the Timberwolves to sweep everything in the Western Conference?

Because they have really seen what the strongest wolf king spirit looks like!

In the future, they will definitely be able to see what the strongest Mamba spirit looks like!

What a pleasure!

After the game against the Jazz, everyone on and off the basketball court was as happy as Chen Xiao.

However, this good mood did not last long, not even a day.

The proud Nets were poured cold water down by the King, which was heartbreaking!

On January 21, 2003, the Nets challenged the Kings back-to-back away games.

The last time they played against the Kings, although the Nets lost miserably, they definitely didn't collapse in the first quarter.

In this back-to-back away game against the Kings, the Nets really collapsed in the first quarter!

18 to 29!

In a single quarter, the Nets fell behind by 11 points on the road.

In a single quarter, Chris Webber made 3 of 5, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 0 turnovers. Who can stand this? !

This is not counting Divac who was 3 of 4!

If Webber hadn't made 1 of 4 free throws in the first quarter, it would have been even worse!

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets' inside combination of Boozer and Martin was once again tricked by Chris Webber and Divac!

Although the final score of the game was 102 to 109, and the Nets only lost by 7 points, in fact, the process of the game was much greater than the result.

The final score was so close thanks to the fact that Boss Ji couldn't help but stand up in the last three quarters of the game and scored 24 points in the next three quarters.

However, such a gay boss...

The invincible Boss Ji claims to be invincible, but Boss Ji's invincibility is something that can only be met but cannot be sought.

Therefore, in this game against the Kings, the Nets really have no chance.

So much so that Chen Xiao felt like every time he played against the Kings, he felt helpless when he was drowned by the 'iron torrent'.

He felt that if the Nets could not find the Kings' weaknesses and the two teams directly competed in the finals, even if cheats were used, Chen Xiao felt that the Nets would not be able to beat the Kings in the end.

In this game, Boss Ji is already cheating, right?

Unless Boss Ji can cooperate with Chen Xiao in the finals to start four games together!

However, Boss Ji only kills once every three games, and his number of kills is also very limited.

Not to mention four games, three games can't be played!

Just like the Lakers have a headache because of the Nets this season.

Now for the Nets, the Kings are also giving them a headache.

After the Nets acquired Chen Xiao and Boozer this season, they made up for some of their shortcomings and became very strong.

But there has never been an invincible perfect team in the NBA. Every team has its own problems.

The Lakers have problems, the Kings have problems, and the Nets also have problems, which makes the situation this season even more confusing and exciting.

Now that the regular season is halfway through, many people are starting to discuss the playoffs and finals.

There is no doubt that the Lakers, Kings and Nets are the three biggest favorites.

The hottest among them is the Lakers. Although the Lakers are in poor condition now, they are a dynasty team!

The second is the Kings, and the third is the Nets.

Although the Nets are on the main stage, they are still a supporting role.

Perhaps the biggest good news for the Nets is that two of the three favorites are in the Western Conference.

In the East, you can be so "comfortable" and lie down comfortably. Feel envious or jealous. If you have the ability, come to the East and lie down together, haha.

Closer to home, the Nets' road trip to the Western Conference continues. On January 23, the Nets came to Golden State as a guest to challenge the Golden State Warriors.

Facing the Warriors led by Musselman, the Nets defeated the Golden State Warriors 117-105 in an away game.

Facing a team like the Warriors with basically no tactical discipline, the Nets played really comfortably and blossomed little by little.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, the base team made 15 of 26, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 41 points and 15 assists in a single game.

There is no doubt that the player who was such a master at guarding James was Chen Xiao's 'good friend'. Less than 15 minutes into the game, Warriors head coach Musselman couldn't help but substitute him. The 'young man' who dares to play again, Arenas.

"Gilbert, you are so lucky, you even met Zhang Sanfeng!"

Arenas didn't know who Zhang Sanfeng was, but he could tell that this guy was definitely laughing at him!

Was blasted by Kidd for 41 points in a single game!

This was so fucking embarrassing. Even if Chen Xiao hadn't laughed at him, he himself would have looked down on the game he was playing!

Kidd has had 40+ points in one game before in his career, and this is his second game.

"Why am I so unlucky?"

"Gilbert, you can also change your mind. Such a magical thing has happened to you. Maybe you will have great luck this year!"

"real?"

"If you believe it, it's true. This is the essence of our Mamba religion. Come on, Gil, join us!"

Looking at Chen Xiao's stretched out hands, looking at Chen Xiao's shining eyes, Arenas, who was shocked by the incarnation of Master Zhang Sanfeng in this game, actually used his hands under Chen Xiao's temptation. stretched over.

"OK, the contract is completed, Gilbert. Now, you are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of our Mamba Cult!"

"..."

When Arenas came to his senses and wanted to take back his hands, he found that he could no longer take his hands back.

"Hahahaha, come, come, reporters, let me introduce to you. This is a new member of our Mamba Cult, Gilbert Arenas, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. He is new to the Mamba Cult tonight. Please help us take a photo and promote it. ,Ha ha ha ha."

Click! Click! Click!

Flashing lights continue, and the Mamba Cult, which has been a hot topic recently, has a new member, and he is still beaten by Kidd, a tough guy on the offensive end.

This is so much fun!

Facing those flashing cameras and mocking glances, Arenas knew.

"Can not go back……"

"I can't go back at all..."

My cool yet handsome persona...

On January 24, after defeating the Warriors in an away game, Chen Xiao, with the joy of gaining a snake friend, and Kidd, with the joy of gaining a career 40+ points, took the team to Los Angeles as a guest.

The Nets will challenge the Lakers at home in tonight's game.

Ever since the Lakers were beaten by the Nets on Christmas Day and then double-played by the Heat, the Lakers have been in a very bad situation.

As a dynasty team that won the Triple Crown, the season is already halfway through, and the record is actually a miserable 18 wins and 23 losses. This record is not even in the playoffs of the Western Conference, and it is still struggling in the lottery.

The Lakers' record is so bad now, which many people did not expect.

Lakers fans are really anxious.

But as the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson is not anxious at all.

Because he knows that this is the painful period for O'Neal and Kobe to re-adjust.

O'Neal and Kobe are no longer their past selves, and their current strengths have changed significantly.

When they had the best integration in the past, which almanac year was that?

After that, they basically became more and more independent.

Is the previous cooperation model still useful?

So how should we accommodate each other in the future, and how should we accommodate each other?

This is really not something that happens overnight.

I have to say that the Zen master is a real Zen master.

I can really sit still.

This game against the Lakers is a back-to-back game for the Nets.

The Lakers are not back to back. The Lakers just lost at home to the Warriors who were defeated by the Nets the day before yesterday.

In the game against the Warriors, Kobe shot 53% from the field, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages were very good, but he took fewer shots than Fisher.

In the end, the Lakers actually lost with 52% field goal percentage and 60% three-point field goal percentage. Do you think this is annoying?

The Lakers players are in such good condition, they should be able to exert more energy.

But because of running-in problems, Kobe and O'Neal never found the point of integration.

When playing the Warriors, Kobe and O'Neal didn't find a fusion point, but can they find it when they play the Nets?

Well, this should be difficult, right?

It is indeed difficult. In this game between the Lakers and the Nets, the Lakers are preparing for revenge, and revenge requires a healthy fit. Therefore, under this guiding ideology, Kobe even played more reservedly in this game.

The whole game is serving O'Neal, which is not to say that serving O'Neal is wrong.

Kobe chose to give in again this time, but...

This is too much of a concession!

Facing Bago's defense, O'Neal made 11 of 22 shots and 5 of 13 free throws in this game. The data was good. Moreover, with his support, Fisher scored 22 points on 10 of 17 shots. The offensive effect was there.

However, Kobe actually only took 14 shots in this game, 4 of 14. The hand feels bad. If you don't shoot, it doesn't matter. What about your kills?

What does it mean to make 2 of 3 free throws in the game?

Even if you want to be a magician or a point guard, your assists in this game are the same as those of Fisher and Walker, who rely on O'Neal to distribute the ball. What does this mean?

The number of shots taken is about the same as Fisher Walker who relies on O'Neal, or even less, the assists are about the same, and the free throws are about the same. Then you are just like Fisher and others, a small role and tool that is completely dependent on O'Neal. person?

That's right, you used to be just like Fisher and the others, just a small role next to O'Neal.

This is your previous role, but now, this role, can you still pretend to be a big Buddha like you?

Even if your big Buddha is forced to fit in, can you pretend?

Isn't it awkward?

Isn't it uncomfortable?

99 to 83!

The New Jersey Nets once again defeated the Lakers without bloodshed.

When the game was over, the entire Staples was silent.

Fans were confused.

The Lakers players on the court were also confused.

The live TNT commentary and the audience in front of the TV were all at a loss.

And Kobe was even more confused.

Everyone is a little confused about this Laker.

At this moment, Iverson, who was in front of the TV, saw No. 7 of the Nets and walked up to No. 8 of the Lakers with a serious and sad look on his face.

At this time, Iverson and the TV audiences around the world were lucky enough to witness one of the most classic scenes in basketball history.

In Kobe's surprise, Chen Xiao grabbed Kobe's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Boss, where's your Mamba Mentality!"

This is a roar full of grief and anger!

This roar is about to awaken an incredible, immortal soul!

ps: Historically, Big Brother Key scored 41 points in this game, the second highest score in his career. Facing Arenas, it was one of the only two times in his career where he had 40+ points. It was really destined.

ps2: The Lakers at this period in history had a miserable record of 19 wins and 22 losses. After O'Neal came back, the running-in between OK and OK was very problematic. In history, the Nets defeated the Lakers 89-83 in this game, and Kobe Bryant scored 14 points in the game. He scored 4 points and scored 11 points. Keyi’s defense was very good, but this is not the reason why Kobe took fewer shots than Fisher. As for the real reason...

Therefore, in history, it is not that OK has never tried to combine, but the effect... is not as good as the two of them playing each other. Some things are really gone forever.

It can be seen that at that time, Kobe still had the intention to continue cooperation, because he had always been the one to compromise, but O'Pangpang, at that time, really didn't think so.

After all, the boss always feels that there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!

A second child who is getting stronger and stronger will always make the boss think of getting rid of him immediately, which is normal, just like China and the United States now.

Of course, this is history, not fiction.

This chapter is very important and says a lot.
