I’m Really Playing Basketball

Watching the scene of Chen Xiao repeatedly yelling at Kobe Bryant played back on TV, the current head coach of the 76ers, Larry Brown, was shocked.

This is an absolutely impossible scene in the NBA.

This is also a scene that he never thought of.

Wonder boy, actually trying to wake up his team's biggest opponent this season?

Doesn't the Wonder Boy know how terrible it will be if OK can really run in again?

Doesn't Wonder Boy want a championship?

This is the enemy!

Just like what Iverson did when the 76ers played against the Nets in the last game!

The Nets are the biggest obstacle for the 76ers to reach the finals this season, but Iverson taught Chen Xiao, the core of the Nets' offense, on the spot!

Iverson, Wonder Boy, why are all these people like this?

What happened to this world?

Why are they doing this?

Why are you so eager to see the strongest opponent?

Is it for basketball?

Or is it to force out the strongest self?

Or both?

Or, as Iverson said, they all just love basketball and don't think about so many things at all?

purely……

Larry Brown frowned and shook his head.

He knew that he couldn't accept such purity!

Never accept it!

At this time, the TV was frantically replaying the game between the Lakers and the Nets, which was 10-for-17. Chen Xiao, who scored the Nets' highest score of 22 points, scored 4-for-14 against the Lakers after the game, scoring only 11 points. of Kobe Bryant's roar.

The experts and celebrities in TNT's studio were also discussing this matter crazily at this time.

The much-anticipated game between the Lakers and Nets has been over for a long time.

But the heated discussion caused by this game has lingered for a long time.

Whether it's the TNT studio, netizens on the Internet, or many NBA players, coaches, teammates, friends or family members are all talking about this game and this matter.

Defeat kills are rare on the court.

It has happened before.

But it's really unheard of to try to wake up the opponent's players in this way after such a game.

At the very least, there has never been anyone like Chen Xiao.

Moreover, the Lakers and Nets still have this special competitive relationship.

"This kind of thing can't happen to a real professional player. The Wonder Boy is not a real professional player!"

"Man, Iverson did it too!"

"So, Iverson is not a real professional player!"

"Well, maybe you're right, but obviously, I like the 'unprofessionals' like Wonder Boy and Iverson, and I think they're 'unprofessional' like them."

"But they are hurting their team's interests!"

"But their behavior has benefited basketball. Man, don't you think it's boring to play basketball for the championship?"

"Charles, these words can come from anyone's mouth, but you are not qualified to say such things, you do not have a championship!"

"Charles, you will never understand how much fun it is to win the championship!"

"..."

On TV, Buckley, who was constantly fighting against the crowd and playing the role of defending Chen Xiao, suddenly became autistic.

Can we not mention the championship?

The script is obviously not written like this, why don't you follow the script!

Do I, Charles Barkley, seem so easy to bully? !

Maybe, it's really easy to bully?

As for Chen Xiao's voice towards Kobe after the game, the results of the external discussion are actually not that important to Chen Xiao.

What really matters is what Nets players think of Chen Xiao.

Mainly because of team boss Kidd's views on Chen Xiao.

According to many people's speculations, Kidd has become such a professional person now. When he sees Chen Xiao doing such unprofessional things and creating obstacles on his way to winning the championship, Kidd will definitely be very angry.

In fact, even Chen Xiao himself feels so.

"Boss, are you really not angry?"

"not angry."

The smile on Boss Ji's face remained, but Chen Xiao was still a little uneasy.

"real?"

"real!"

Seeing Chen Xiao's concern, Kidd continued: "After the finals last season, I vowed to take revenge on the Lakers this season, but now after double defeating the Lakers in the regular season, I suddenly feel a little boring. Now I discovered that this Laker is not the Laker I want to take revenge on, Chen, do you know what I mean?"

Chen Xiao, who was still uneasy at first and felt a little sorry for his boss who was so kind to him, was a little dumbfounded at this time.

"Chen, I don't care if the fan mentality exploded when you yelled at Kobe, or if you were a beginner and had no professionalism, so you did such a thing. For me, I, like you, hope that your The voice can wake up Kobe and the Lakers."

"Boss..."

"Beating the strongest Lakers won't be so boring."

Chen Xiao was shocked when he saw that Boss Ji's face, which had always had a professional smile before, now had no professionalism at all, but an excited smile like a fanatic.

He felt that he had discovered another hidden side of Boss Ji!

When Boss Ji was young, he must have been very crazy, and he was definitely not a good professional guy!

After I know this secret, won't Ji Laohui kill me?

Kill a ghost!

You are the only beginner in the NBA who doesn't know how coquettish Boss Ji was when he was young!

Ahem, let's go back to Chen Ling.

Seeing Boss Ji's expression like this, Chen Xiao was of course encouraged. He grabbed Boss Ji's shoulder almost like he grabbed Kobe just now.

"Boss, you are right!"

"We should defeat the strongest OK, end this old era perfectly, and start a new era!"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking excitedly, in the hotel room, the laughter of the two people, one old and one young, vibrated wildly in the room.

In the current Nets, as the 1.5 leader of the Nets, there are not many people who are qualified to restrain Chen Xiao's behavior.

Apart from Kidd, there are only two coaches on the team.

Head coach Byron Scott and assistant coach Eddie Jordan.

After returning to the hotel after the game against the Lakers, Chen Xiao admitted his mistake in Kidd's room.

On the other side, Eddie Jordan was also discussing the matter in head coach Byron Scott's room.

"Chen is a beginner and a fan of Kobe. It's understandable that he can't distinguish between professional players and star fans. And Byron, I think Kobe and the Lakers can really be awakened by him. Maybe it's not for us." A bad thing."

"The OK Lakers at their peak are very strong. If the Lakers can integrate OK well, the Lakers will be stronger this season than last season. However, I personally think that even if we are playing against the stronger Lakers and OK, we have to beat the Kings. "The winning rate is high, but it's not that I don't have confidence. The Nets have always built their team around the Lakers as their imaginary enemy. We have structural weaknesses against the Kings, which cannot be made up for by the performance of the players and the layout of tactics."

"If I had to choose between a narrow escape and a tenth chance of death, I would choose a narrow escape. Moreover, our current game against the OK Lakers is not a narrow escape."

Eddie Jordan said this not to excuse Chen Xiao's unprofessionalism.

This is his own idea.

He didn't think Chen Xiao would think about so many things when trying to wake up Kobe.

But the fact is that Chen used his unprofessionalism to do a very beneficial thing for the Nets.

OK, if they can really integrate well, no one knows what the strongest Lakers will be like, but the result will definitely not be worse than the Kings reaching the finals.

The Nets can double beat the Lakers in the regular season, which means that there is always a chance in the finals. After all, the main body of the Lakers is still this group of people.

But if the Lakers really collapse this season and the Kings or other Western Conference teams enter the finals, will the Nets be better off?

After all, the Nets have always been a team built with the Lakers as their imaginary enemy in the past. It will definitely not be easy to beat the Lakers against other teams.

Maybe the Lakers will really be the strongest by then, but they will also be the best for the Nets.

"Eddie, I think so too."

Byron Scott and Eddie Jordan smiled at each other and nodded slightly.

at the same time.

Kobe, who hadn't slept since the game, looked out the window at the Los Angeles night at four o'clock in the morning, clenching his fists tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but Kobe's fists finally loosened and his frown relaxed.

Starting today, there will be no more Peter Pan in this world.

Kobe Bryant can never go back to the days of Peter Pan!

Mamba!

black Mamba!

"From now on, my name is Black Mamba!"

Snake King...

Mamba Mentality…

Mamba Cult…

Boy!

No more resistance, I accept this setting!

Looking at the afro and beard in the mirror, Kobe had a long-lost smile on his face.

On January 25, 2003, after playing an away game against the Lakers, Chen Xiao and the Nets took a day off in Los Angeles.

On this day, the biggest news in Los Angeles was that the Los Angeles Lakers star, Kobe Bryant, finally got a haircut!

Not only did he push his afro into a refreshing bald head, but he also shaved off all the very 'artistic' beard on his face.

Suddenly, the ‘performance artist’ in Los Angeles turned into the spiritual ‘handsome guy’ again!

That's not all.

After getting his hair cut and shaving, Kobe held a press conference wearing a handsome suit, smiling and announcing to the entire Los Angeles and the league that he was changing his jersey.

"When I wore that No. 8 jersey, I got everything I should get as a No. 8 player, first team, first defense, All-Star, All-Star MVP, and three championships. The mission of this number has been It’s over, and my career needs to move on, and that will be a new beginning for me personally.”

"Bryant, why is it number 24? Is it because you want to surpass Jordan, who is number 23?"

American reporters had already hyped this up when Kobe Bryant made his first All-Star start, and in the end the entire Western Conference All-Stars boycotted him.

Facing this reporter's question, Kobe smiled slightly, looking gentlemanly and handsome.

"The meaning of No. 24 is 24 hours. I hope to devote all my energy to basketball. This is why I chose No. 24. If I can't devote myself wholeheartedly, I won't be Kobe. No. 24 is my most important thing. Excellent interpretation.”

Jordan is No. 23 and I am No. 24. Is this to surpass Jordan?

Well...

Now, this answer is all I need to know.

You guys, huh, huh, keep it secret for the time being, go if you feel itchy, hahahaha...

Kobe suddenly chose to change his jersey number. This is big news for the Lakers and the NBA.

When Jordan saw the news, he bit his cigar and frowned. Sure enough, this wicked villain!

When Ao Pang received the news, he also frowned.

"The goal is not to be the boss, but to surpass Jordan?"

Aren't you afraid of taking too big a step and dragging your D?

etc!

This kid really wants to surpass Jordan, and I will still be the boss of the Lakers!

This kid jumped directly out of the quagmire of internal disputes within the Lakers and jumped directly from the third floor to the fifth floor!

Be the best version of myself, practice the strongest Mamba mentality, and become the strongest Jordan!

As for that damn fat guy, he loves whatever he wants!

"Great Shaq, you got jumped by this kid!"

O'Neill was muttering to himself in a daze, his head hurt and his mood was complicated.

So, this should be happy?

Or should I feel insulted?

Or maybe this guy thinks that being the boss of the Lakers has no meaning anymore, and he will not change his name no matter how much trouble we make, so he just accepts his fate? Don't waste time?

What a headache!

Kobe changed his number.

Jordan has a headache.

O'Neal also had a headache.

Of course, Chen Xiao is also having a headache.

The boss no longer wears size 8, I wear size 7...

It seems a bit outdated.

Moreover, the boss’s choice of No. 24 was too low, almost on the same level as Richard Jefferson!

In this way, even if you say that you are not a Jordan fan, Wade will not believe you even more, and will think that you are the biggest traitor of Qiao Mi.

Richard Jefferson is No. 24 and is a huge Jordan fan.

Moreover, I can’t change your No. 24 to No. 23. No. 11 is worn by a teammate.

Even if No. 7 is a bit outdated now, we can only continue to wear it.

Just when the entire NBA traffic circle was in turmoil because of the game between the Lakers and the Nets and the matter of Kobe Bryant changing his number.

The league announced the results of the third round of All-Star voting, which finally shifted the news focus in the league's traffic circles.

In the latest voting results announced by the league, some positions have been determined and some are still in fierce battle.

For example, the centers in the East and West, Yao Ming and O'Neal are very stable, and they have tripled the number two.

The forward position in the East is also stable, with Richard Jefferson now leading O'Neal in more than 100,000 votes, while the guard positions in the West, including Kobe Bryant and Nash, are also stable.

There are only three positions that are fiercely fought now, the forwards in the Western Conference, Garnett is stable, and Duncan and Webber are fighting fiercely.

and the guard position in the East.

The Eastern Conference guard position, as the vote king, is certainly guaranteed by Chen Xiao.

But the competition among Tracy McGrady, Kidd, Wade and Iverson will become fierce.

Especially in the third round, Iverson rushed forward with great momentum.

Obviously, this is because of the game between the Nets and the 76ers, and the battle between Iverson and Chen Xiao.

Regardless of whether it is McGrady or Kidd or Wade or Iverson who comes out in the end.

One thing is for sure.

Jordan, who announced early that this would be his last season, is now embarrassed.

Uncle Joe has already said that this is his last season. Don’t you fans have an AC number?

Try your best to buy votes for me, so that I can be the first starter with honor!

It's very embarrassing for you to do this now.

I haven’t said that I won’t play in the All-Star Game if I am not a starter. As the greatest player in the NBA, I bid farewell to the NBA and the All-Star game. You ask me to play as a substitute. Do you think this is causing trouble?

I am a face-loving person, but now you are making me feel very faceless.

The All-Star Weekend will begin on February 7th, which means that the All-Star lineup will be determined before February 3rd.

In other words, the fourth round of voting is likely to be released before January 29.

Only after the starting lineup is selected can the substitutes be selected and the lineup can be determined.

How many days has it been?

Not even a week!

How can we catch up with such a big gap?

Jordan's popularity in China has soared recently, but the popularity of the previous players in China is not bad now. Jordan is really lagging behind.

The probability of Jordan surpassing the front and becoming second is the same as that of God. If he wants to catch up in the end, it will be impossible unless David Stern fakes it.

So, Uncle Qiao has been very annoyed lately!

Otherwise, don’t go to the All-Star Game?

According to the pace these people are going to cause trouble this year, maybe they will go to the All-Star Game and get beaten and lose?

However, I can’t bear to not go to the biggest show to show off.

I am irritable, so irritable!

The cigars are no longer as fragrant, and the red wine is no longer as rich.

In fact, after the results of the third round of the All-Star voting came out, it was not only Jordan who was upset, but also the Nets' third leader Richard Jefferson.

"Chen, I don't want to see Jordan not be able to go to the All-Stars because he is a substitute. From what I know about him, he will definitely not accept being an All-Star substitute!"

"Chen, I have already been a rival with Jordan, and now I want to be a teammate with Jordan once. I will have no regrets in this life!"

"Oh, if only I could give him the starting position."

Chen Xiao now truly believes that this 'silly boy' wearing the No. 24 jersey and showing off in front of Jordan is a die-hard Jordan fan.

Judging from the look on Richard Jefferson's face, this is not a 'real professional player' either!

You don’t know this by looking at it, but you are shocked at first glance. The Nets have a fan mentality, and there are quite a few who are not so professional.

Listening to Richard Jefferson's complaints, Chen Xiao can understand.

In order to be a teammate with Jordan, Richard Jefferson was even willing to be Chen Xiao's mount, grab headlines and be in the spotlight, learn Chinese, learn to smile, he went crazy.

Isn't it just to smell Jordan's cigar smell up close?

Whether he went and Jordan didn't go, or Jordan went but he didn't go, Richard Jefferson would regret it for the rest of his life.

And this is what gave Richard Jefferson such a headache that he wanted to hold Chen Xiao and cry.

He gave up the starting job to Jordan. With his 16+6 data, he made it to the All-Stars!

"Chen, if Jordan gets the starting guard position when the All-Star voting results are announced, I'm willing to give him a month's worth of hair and soap in exchange for giving up the starting spot to Jordan!"

"If my sister-in-law is willing, I can take the place of the boss and kneel on the keyboard for a whole year!"

Is it true that picking up soap and hair for the boss does not have the fragrance of a sister-in-law's keyboard?

Ahem, don’t complain about this anymore.

With Richard Jefferson's current expression, Chen Xiao absolutely believed that he was sincere.

As for why I didn’t pick out his hair or kneel on his keyboard.

It's not because he has hair or that he doesn't know which keyboard to kneel to.

It's simply that Chen Xiao is just like him. Although Chen Xiao has confirmed his All-Star starting position, but...

If Chen Xiao gives up the All-Star starting spot to Jordan, with Chen Xiao’s statistics, even if he is a defender in the Eastern Conference, he will not be able to make the All-Stars...

Although Richard Jefferson was upset, he was still very conscientious. He just complained to his 'big brother' and had no intention of asking him to do anything.

Therefore, now Richard Jefferson's only hope is Boss Ji.

As long as Big Brother can become an All-Star starter, Richard Jefferson may really do such a crazy thing.

Closer to home, on January 27, 2003, the Nets visited Denver, the NBA's devil, to challenge the Nuggets at home.

Denver Plateau is the home stadium of the three devils on par with San Antonio and Minnesota, and the three best places in the NBA.

But this season, Denver Plateau is not so 'suffocating'.

Because the Denver Nuggets are already trying to get LeBron James.

This season, they both have 10 wins and 33 losses!

They are actually not the last in the league!

And not only is he not the last in the league, he is not the second to last or the third to last!

The Heat, Cavaliers, and Raptors have better records than them!

The Nuggets really didn't expect that their strength would go to the East. There are some teams that they can't lose even if they want to!

How delicious are the dishes in the east now?

It’s going to make Nuggets cry!

In fact, you, the Nuggets, can't talk about Eastern cuisine. After all, your Nuggets were a team that won 40 games in the Western Conference last season.

The strength is not weak to begin with.

It's just that these two seasons have been bad.

You don’t really think that no one noticed that you messed up last season, right?

It's just not as crazy as the bull.

The Nuggets' foundation is actually good, and the players' abilities are there.

Go to the East and face some teams that you really can't lose even if you want to.

This makes the Nuggets very entangled. If they lose too much, they are afraid of being caught. If they lose, they will lose everything. If they don't lose, they can't beat the Cavaliers, Heat and Raptors.

In this game against the Nets, it was a reasonable loss. Naturally, it was impossible to put on a high pedestal on one's own plateau.

Click to the end, peace is the most precious thing!

112 to 66!

The Nets scored 46 points away from the Nuggets!

Facing the Nuggets who are so bad in this game, and the condition of his teammates does not seem to be very good, Chen Xiao will certainly not miss such a good opportunity!

After three quarters of the game, Chen Xiao had taken 24 shots, made 15 of 24, and scored 38 points. This game turned into a ruthless shooting machine!

This game felt so good that it was a pity for Chen Xiao to sit on the sidelines in the fourth quarter and watch his teammates play.

After defeating the Nuggets, the Nets' Western away trip is over.

"Finally we can go back to the East!"

This time I came to the West and played against the Jazz and the Kings. Chen Xiao’s hands hurt from playing with iron!

The west is too brutal, but the east is more suitable for his current "low-key" development.

On January 27, Chen Xiao just got off the plane.

I received a call from my good friend Wade.

"Chen, the All-Star voting results will come out tomorrow. If I start, I am ready to give up the starting position to Jordan."

"..."

It is said that most of the NBA are very professional professional players?

Xiaotai, you have always told me to be professional. After the Lakers game, you called me and said that I shouldn't yell at me. It would be bad if it caused dissatisfaction with the team and fans.

But now you...

What about your career?

Are you not afraid that the fans who voted for you will be unhappy?

Xiaotai, you also have a fan mentality.

Finally, Chen Xiao sighed.

Maybe it's because we're all young.

but……

If I really grow up and become an old player, am I no longer a fan?

Then do I still love basketball?

At that time, I will only love myself, right?

is this okay?

not good!

Therefore, if you are not professional, you are not professional. Fans can be fans. In this way, it is really good.

"Xiao Tai, don't worry, you have no right to worry about Jordan, haha."

"..."

ps: In this game between the Nets and the Nuggets, the Nuggets really wanted to lose. They made more than 50 shots out of 30 turnovers in the game. They really didn’t want to win and just played casually. Unfortunately, the Nets’ touch in this game was also poor. Not good. In the end, 92 to 66, nothing big happened. In fact, the Nuggets were quite suitable to do something in this game, haha.
