I’m Really Playing Basketball

At eight o'clock in the evening at the NBA headquarters in New York on January 29, 2003, a large number of reporters from various countries gathered here.

Because wait a minute, NBA commissioner David Stern will announce the starting lineup for the 2003 NBA All-Star voting.

Without a doubt, this is one of the biggest stories of the regular season.

And because of Jordan, it is still one of the biggest news that cannot be missed.

Of course, compared with American reporters who are looking forward to Jordan's defeat, the Chinese reporters here are completely different.

Jordan and all that, they don’t care at all!

What they care about is Chen Xiao's vote leader and Yao Ming's starting center.

This day will be the most memorable day in the history of Chinese professional sports!

"Over in New Jersey, the home game between the Nets and the Wizards is coming to an end. Today, Chen Xiao's offensive state is average, but his defensive state is very good. Before the game is over, he has already blocked 7 shots!"

"Jordan played too fiercely today. Most of Chen Xiao's energy was focused on the defensive end. However, Chen Xiao's defense against Jordan in this game was awesome!"

Watching the Nets-Wizards game live on the big screen overhead, the Chinese reporters at the scene were very satisfied.

So far, 6 of 16 and 18 points are average.

But I can't stand Chen Xiao's outstanding 7 blocks tonight. After all, tonight is also the night of Chen Xiao's blocking career.

A career night with the All-Star vote winner, this must be a very happy night.

And Jordan and Joe made 13 of 41 shots in this game and hit 28 irons to celebrate Chen Xiao.

On the big screen, after Jordan took his 41st shot of the game, he finally bounced out of the frame under the interference of Chen Xiao's long arm, hitting his 28th iron of the game, setting a new record for his career in a single game. at the same time.

NBA commissioner David Stern walked out with a smile.

Looking at the crowd of reporters below, David Stern smiled and didn't talk nonsense.

These people have been waiting a long time.

Moreover, at the game between the Nets and Wizards, reporters on the scene also had to interview Chen Xiao about his thoughts on winning the vote and becoming an All-Star.

"In the 2003 All-Star Game in Atlanta, the starting players of the Western Conference All-Star Team were, center, Shaquille O'Neal, forward, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, guards, Steve Nash, and Kobe Bryant!"

After David Stern finished reading the Western Conference starters, except for the reporters in Sacramento who sighed and the reporters in San Antonio who breathed a sigh of relief, no one else expressed or reacted at all.

Because most of the reporters at the scene were staring at the east!

David Stern didn't take it seriously and continued to read in his very full voice.

"In the 2003 All-Star Game in Atlanta, the starting point for the Eastern Conference All-Star team was a center that cost his life!"

However, David Stern's own feelings are a little different when he pronounces the names of the starters in the Western Conference.

After reading out Yao Ming's name, David Stern deliberately paused, leaving time for the Chinese reporters at the scene to celebrate.

Seeing the Chinese reporters in the audience jumping up with excitement, David Stern smiled slightly.

I have to say that David Stern is really open-minded and really knows how to behave.

Seeing the Chinese reporters who were excited and celebrating at this time, the American reporters next to them had no reaction, but the Korean reporters and reporters from other countries were envious.

Especially Korean journalists.

NBA All-Stars!

Will the Republic of Korea also have an NBA All-Star player in ten years?

"If it doesn't work in ten years, then twenty years. When Player Chen and Miss Sun's children grow up, it will be time for our Republic of Korea to rise in the NBA!"

I want to eat shit!

Even if Mr. Chen and Miss Sun have a child, the child will be a Chinese born from Han Chinese and Korean Chinese!

Of course, reality is reality and it does not hinder their YY.

After the Chinese reporters at the scene celebrated for a while, David Stern continued to chant.

"In the 2003 All-Star Game in Atlanta, the starting forwards of the Eastern All-Star team were Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson!"

After reading Forward, David Stern paused again and cleared his throat deliberately.

After clearing his throat, David Stern read out the name of this year's All-Star starting guard with the fullest emotion of the night.

"In the 2003 All-Star Game in Atlanta, the starting guard of the Eastern All-Star Team, Tracy McGrady and..."

"Chen——Xiao!"

When the natural name was read out, the scene instantly became boiling.

Whether it is Chinese reporters, American reporters, or reporters from other countries, at this time, everyone is boiling!

In this year's guard battle in the Eastern Conference, Chen Xiao became the vote leader, and Tracy McGrady became the final winner.

And Michael Jordan was ultimately defeated!

"Two Chinese are selected as All-Star starters, and one of them is the vote-winner. This will be the biggest news in the world of sports tomorrow!"

"The second biggest news in the world of sports tomorrow is that the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, actually failed to be selected as a starter in the NBA All-Star Game in his farewell season!"

"The NBA this year is incredible!"

After getting a little excited, the reporters at the scene immediately sent the news to the rear non-stop, preparing to edit these two big news.

And at this moment, on the big screen, at the scene of the game between the Nets and the Wizards, TNT commentator Barkley was already interviewing Chen Xiao about Chen Xiao winning the All-Star vote and being a starter, and Chen Xiao was also talking. grateful.

"Chen, besides thanking you, do you have anything else to say to the fans around the world who support you?"

"Moreover, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your love."

Um? !

On TV, Barkley was dumbfounded.

At the scene, reporters who were typing or making phone calls also raised their heads in shock.

Even David Stern, who was about to go back, stopped and looked at the big screen above his head in confusion.

"You are the first starter in the All-Star Game and the top vote-getter in the All-Star Game. It is also the most precious gift that basketball has given me!"

"Before I met basketball, I was a poor boy who knew nothing about basketball. After I met basketball, I got your love, attention, and countless money. Basketball changed my destiny. To this, I’m always grateful.”

"So, I long for basketball to become better and better, and I hope that I will not do anything to harm basketball because of my own selfishness."

"So, I'm eager to see all the good things in basketball, just like you are."

"Many people say that I am an alternative among NBA players. I am an alternative with a fan mentality, and I am not as professional as other players. I admit this, just like what I did to Kobe before, just like this game. Before we started, when I saw Michael, I suddenly longed to see his fadeaway jumper that once made the world crazy. I told him that if he could make 10 fadeaways against my defense in this game. If he makes a jump shot, I will give him a precious gift."

"Michael's fadeaway jumper didn't grow up with me. It was Kobe and Kevin Garnett who grew up with me in my basketball career, but this does not hinder my respect for Michael, because when I became an NBA professional player , he gave me a lot of incredible help, he guided me forward, and also guided my good friends Dwyane Wade, Ron Howard, my teammate Richard Jefferson and the NBA and the world Lots and lots of player growth.”

"He is a great player and spiritual mentor who deserves the respect of all basketball people. His spirit, his behavior, and the picturesque basketball he plays on the court have made extremely huge contributions to basketball."

"It was him who made basketball as beautiful as it is now!"

“Tonight, I received the most precious gift from you and basketball, and now, on behalf of basketball, I shamelessly pass on this precious gift to Michael Jordan to thank him for his great contribution to basketball! "

"I, Chen Xiao, will now transfer my starting position in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game to Michael Jordan. I hope the league will allow it."

"Thank you basketball, thank you, Michael!"

Seeing Chen Xiao's sincere gratitude on the TV, the die-hard Qiao Mi and LeBron James in front of the TV were completely stunned.

NBA All-Star starter!

This is the NBA All-Star starting lineup!

Just give it away!

Thanks for basketball...

Don’t do anything that hurts basketball…

basketball?

Need thanks?

LeBron James is a very smart man and he has never thought about such a problem before.

He always felt that it was natural for him to become KING, and he didn't need to thank anyone except his mother.

Now……

He was a little confused.

Without basketball, would I be the nationally famous King James?

If I play rugby, am I still a King?

The words Chen Xiao said when giving this year's All-Star starter to Jordan were all from the heart.

He wanted to give the starting lineup to Jordan, and it was not a temporary decision, nor was it because of the influence of Wade and Richard Jefferson, but his own decision.

Chen Xiao has always been afraid of getting the system and everything he will get after becoming a basketball player.

How could he be so virtuous and able to receive such love?

In the end, it can only be said that the God of Basketball gave him too much.

By the way, the God of Basketball mentioned here is not Jordan, but the real God of Basketball. Don’t get me wrong.

Therefore, for Chen Xiao, basketball has given him so many gifts that he does not know how to repay them.

And this time, God gave him a chance to repay.

For the sport of basketball, if Jordan's farewell season is not respected enough, it will be a harm to basketball.

No exaggeration at all.

Jordan, the most decorated player in the NBA, represents basketball. He has received so many honors in the basketball world, but he cannot guarantee that he will turn around and leave with glory.

So, who will sincerely pursue entering the basketball hall of honor in the future?

Anyway, Jordan is like this, why don't we pursue something practical?

For example, money, beauty?

Heroes have their twilight years, but heroes and martyrs should not be insulted.

Fans are forgetful, and fans have no obligation to defend and protect basketball.

But we have received so many players and practitioners from basketball, and everyone who relies on basketball for a living should protect basketball.

You shouldn't let your selfishness hurt basketball.

Chen Xiao felt that there was no problem with doing this.

Thank you for basketball and protect the beauty of basketball. This is Yu Gong.

What's more, Jordan has given him so much help, and he needs to repay him personally.

Jordan has everything, so what is he grateful for?

This time, it was really accident and fate that gave him the opportunity to thank Jordan and basketball.

Therefore, he comes from the bottom of his heart and wants to give Jordan the starting spot in this year's All-Star Game, and no one can stop him!

"Xiaotai, didn't you also call me to persuade me?"

"no."

"That?"

"I always thought you were a player with very upright views before. Now, I want to say that you are a saint in the basketball world!"

"..."

Am I dead?

Are you just cursing me like this?

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Xiao became a little upset by the excited Wade.

"Xiaotai, are you scolding me?"

"I, Chen Xiao, am just an ordinary NBA player who can't be more ordinary!"

Damn average NBA player!

Wade on the other end of the phone heard Chen Xiao yelling on the phone, and felt a fit of grudge in his heart.

but……

"Chen, I feel like being your brother is very stressful!"

"Did you do something bad?"

"No."

"Want to do something bad?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Does that mean you regret being my brother?"

"No regrets."

"That means Xiaotai is sick tonight!"

"You have the disease!"

"Then we are all sick, haha."

Hearing Chen Xiao's laughter on the phone, for some reason, Wade always wanted to laugh along and couldn't help it.

Maybe that's why he's so infectious.

Really, he had never seen a basketball player with such integrity.

Thank you basketball!

Thank you for basketball!

He's not just talking, he's serious!

My brother is truly an incredible person!

Wade felt like his head was going to explode tonight.

In fact, after Chen Xiao announced that he would give the All-Star starter to Jordan, Wade was not the only one who exploded.

The whole United States and the whole China exploded!

That night, whether it was China or the United States, all major sports programs and major news programs were frantically reporting on this incident.

As the top vote-getter in the NBA, Chen Xiao gave up his All-Star starting spot to Jordan.

And NBA commissioner David Stern immediately announced his agreement.

With Chen Xiao singing and David Stern drinking, Jordan was cooked into a meal without even a chance to refuse.

In fact, if the All-Star starter was just given to Jordan, it would never cause such a huge sensation.

But what Chen Xiao said was really shocking!

"Thank you basketball!"

"You should say this when you win the regular season MVP!"

Jordan's eyes were moist as he watched Chen Xiaorang's starting speech on TV.

This is the highest praise he has ever received!

Chen Xiao's heartfelt speech was more beautiful than any praise he had ever heard!

He originally wanted to reject the All-Star starter given by Chen Xiao.

He, Jordan, has never been a person who eats what he comes to!

In fact, this is also the case. Historically, the three top starters in the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Iverson, McGrady and Carter, all called Jordan and expressed that they would give up the starting lineup to him.

But Jordan flatly refused.

It wasn't until the All-Star Game began that Carter used a trick to get Jordan to accept the starting spot.

Anyway, I gave him the starting spot. I don’t care if you want it or not. I will be a substitute in the back. I will definitely not play when I play. It’s up to you.

In the end, Jordan had no choice but to accept it.

Carter has a good heart.

But Carter is forcing Jordan to accept charity from others.

Therefore, Jordan accepted it, but when Jordan accepted it, he must have had complicated emotions.

I am definitely grateful to be grateful to Carter, but I also feel a sense of humiliation from being whipped to death.

I have already decided to serve as a substitute. If you guys play like this again, where will I put my face?

My popularity has waned since I left, and young fans can’t remember me. Now I’m still relying on my old age to make you give up my seat?

What do others think of me?

The dignity that had been lost has become even more precarious.

Therefore, no matter how much Iverson and Medicart wanted to fight, he would not accept it.

But Chen Xiao did this.

He felt that he could really bear it!

This is an affirmation of his honor and his career!

This is not Chen Xiao’s charity!

This is basketball’s recognition of his contribution!

The most important thing is what Chen Xiao said. Fans all over the world will not think that he is relying on his old age to get the starting lineup. They will not laugh at him because he is old and useless and relies on his seniority to dominate others.

Jerry Stackhouse said this to him, and he is very sensitive to this.

Now, Chen Xiao is really doing it perfectly!

This will only make fans feel ashamed and embarrassed that they did not vote for such a great person like him before, a hero who is about to leave his favorite basketball world.

"Good boy, I really saw the right person!"

Uncle Qiao, I really didn’t love you in vain, you are indeed my ‘Son of God’!

Tomorrow I will announce to the media that I have also certified the nickname ‘Son of God’!

Chen Xiao: Can I still take back my All-Star starting spot tomorrow?

Keke, just kidding.

Chen Xiao didn't know that his heartfelt gratitude and thanks saved Jordan, David Stern and the NBA.

If it hadn't been for Chen Xiao's appearance, David Stern would have personally begged Jordan to participate in the All-Star Game as a substitute.

The greatest player in the NBA couldn't say goodbye to everyone in the All-Stars in his last season. Isn't this a slap in the face to him and the NBA?

"What a good boy!"

If it weren't for the fact that his talent was too limited, David Stern even felt that he was the perfect protagonist he was looking for!

such a pity……

David Stern looked at the Chen Xiao who was being reported crazily on TV and felt a little pity.

Because of his talent, he couldn't be his protagonist.

Fortunately, as far as he knew, James also had a very good personality and was an equally perfect choice.

But, I wonder if James has such a high level of consciousness?

Thanks for basketball...

He had never really thought about this before!

He has been doing things that benefit the NBA, encouraging offense, attacking defense, encouraging outsiders, and attacking inside.

"Maybe I'm hurting basketball too?"

David Stern was lost in thought.

Maybe, I need to grasp a balance point, a degree.

"I suddenly felt that it would be a pity and a waste of talent to let him be the villain!"

"Even if he can't be Batman, he can be Batman's Robin!"

Watching the handsome Chen Xiao on TV, David Stern suddenly had a very bold idea.

Because of Chen Xiao's heartfelt speech, his act of giving up the All-Star starting lineup to Jordan received almost all praise.

Most American fans, especially Jordan fans, were madly thanking Chen Xiao for making up for their mistake. They almost humiliated a legend.

Many die-hard Qiao Mi players in the NBA were even moved to tears.

Richard Jefferson was so moved that he immediately announced that he would give up his All-Star starting spot to Chen Xiao.

Maybe if he really gave in, the kid would definitely regret it tomorrow, but at that time, it must have been his sincerity.

"Richard, didn't your idol say, who are you, who are you, and why should you give him a starting spot? If I give way to Jordan, and you give way to me, doesn't that mean you give way to him? Think about the curve. Save the country? Humph, no way!"

"..."

Of course, in addition, many experts and celebrities also praise Chen Xiao constantly.

Look, what a sensible young man!

You guys have forgotten us old bones who have made great contributions to the NBA and have no respect for us, but, do you hear me?

To respect us is to respect basketball, to thank us is to be grateful to basketball!

What beautiful words!

etc!

If Chen Xiao knew what they were thinking, he would definitely refute it.

What I said didn’t mean that you can also represent basketball!

I'm simply talking about Jordan, not anyone other than Jordan!

However, just because Chen Xiao didn't mean this, it doesn't mean that others shouldn't imagine it.

Even at this time, even Mr. Pi was very moved when watching TV.

"This boy is really good!"

It would be a pity to give this starting spot to someone like Qiao Da.

This starting position should be given to me, the second master.

Alas, I should have fallen in love with him before Qiao Da fell in love with him!

Therefore, Chen Xiao originally thought that his unprofessional behavior would cause huge controversy like the last time he yelled at Kobe.

But what surprised Chen Xiao was that there was actually no controversy.

Perhaps the only controversy is that domestic fans are worried about Chen Xiao's All-Star prospects.

After Chen Xiao gives up the starting lineup, he will have to compete with the guards in the East for the position.

Iverson, Kidd, Wade, Ray Allen, Pierce, Reggie Miller...

It's not easy to be reasonable.

However, Chen Xiao didn't think too much about this.

I am lucky to have gained it, and I have lost my life. As long as he has a clear conscience.

He has always been an optimistic and cheerful person.

He has tried his best and has no regrets. Besides, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

What's more, he doesn't have time to care about so many things now.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing 7 blocks in a B-level official game and achieving the achievement 'Sheltering from wind and rain'. The host will be rewarded with 3 shot-blocking experience cards (official game), a wingspan of 3 centimeters, and a career value of 600."

Chen Xiao touched his right foot. The Achilles tendon was thicker or longer?

A little hot?

Or is it that the ligaments have become tougher?

illusion?

Chen Xiao has always been curious about where the system will add these lengths after he decides not to add them to height and wingspan.

When he was training with Bugs before, Bugs told him that his bones were getting harder and harder.

Chen Xiao himself couldn't feel whether his bones were hardened.

However, players within the Nets always say that he now has "long hands, long legs and strong bones" and they no longer engage in confrontation training with him.

Just like a little Garnett, it hurts when I press it on my body, you know?

Chen Xiao didn't know that he really didn't feel any pain.

But in the end, if the system is transforming some of its internal structures, that's really a good thing.

These things are equally important!

In the future, his talent will be transformed to be as perfect as Tracy McGrady, but if he keeps getting injured, that won't work!

The team's Kidders cannot resist weight loss because he cannot gain weight. He is so strong and has such good skills, so he can only be a starter. Kobe Ray Allen, who was once as famous as him, is a superstar.

Especially since he is a yellow race, he needs to be patient!

After Chen Xiao came back from his thoughts, he continued to read the information.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for directly defending an A-level opponent 25 times in a game. For achieving the achievement 'Iron Wall', the host will be rewarded with a B-level defensive potential card with a career value of 1,000."

B-level defensive potential card...

There is no doubt that this game against the Wizards was a big game.

In this game, he defended Jordan on 13 of 41 shots, earning him two achievements.

3 official game blocking experience cards and 1 B-level defensive potential card.

It’s all good stuff!

He has a lot of blocking experience cards for training, so he knows how useful this card is.

Three cards are awarded in one game. These three cards theoretically have the chance to block three winning chances!

Of course, in addition to this, the B-level defensive potential card is also very good!

Props: Defensive potential card

Grade: B grade

Description: You can choose to increase the potential of any defense-related attribute with a potential less than 90 by 5 points.

There are too many defense-related attributes!

Not only steals, marking, blocking, but also speed, burst, endurance, strength, etc., are all defense-related attributes.

So this B-level defensive potential card is almost equivalent to a B-level potential card for Chen Xiao!

"Can it be understood that playing this game is equivalent to me receiving an NBA regular season award?"

Chen Xiao feels that it is completely understandable. Aren't the NBA regular season awards just for B-level potential cards?

Name: Chen Xiao

Age: 20

Height: 2 meters

Wingspan: 2.21 meters

Weight: 98kg

Occupation: Basketball player

Professional level: LV35 (55500/58000)

Career points remaining: 28

Basketball experience: 62,000

Basketball skills: Jordan style fadeaway jump shot (not meeting the learning requirements)

Props: 1 B-level potential card, 1 B-level defensive potential card, 30 scoring experience cards (official game), 2 steal experience cards (official game), 3 block experience cards, 5 backcourt rebound experience cards (Official competition), training props are hidden.

Of course, in addition to this, the most important reward Chen Xiao received in this game should be the Jordan-style fadeaway jumper.

Purple shooting action skills!

Chen Xiao tried so hard to learn Wade's shooting moves, but he didn't turn them into skills.

It’s too difficult to transform skills, such as his ‘Eye of God’ which is still under creation.

Without transformation skills, there is no Buff bonus for skills. When playing games, it is just whiteboard equipment. No matter how high the properties of the whiteboard equipment are, there is no Buff bonus.

Skill: Jordan-style fadeaway jump shot

Level: S level (purple)

Learning conditions: arm span greater than height 15 cm, palm length greater than 24 cm, palm opening width greater than 28 cm, balance attribute 90, strength attribute 80, jumping attribute 80, flexibility attribute 80

The conditions for learning this shooting movement passed down to him by Jordan are very demanding.

This is not to say that the attribute conditions are very demanding. Except for balance, other attributes are average for NBA players, mainly the length of the palm and the width of the palm opening. This is very demanding.

Take Chen Xiao’s idol Kobe Bryant as an example. The width of Kobe Bryant’s palm is 21cm.

Why do you say width?

Palm width is more important than palm length. Palm width is the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger when the palm is opened.

The longer it is, the easier it is to grip the ball and exert force.

I am 21 in my department, which is actually average in the NBA. To put it bluntly, it is due to criticism.

That's why we always compare our team with Jordan. Isn't that a shortcoming?

Jordan's is 29 centimeters...

Whoever comes here is short-term, why do you say that I am a major?

This skill requires a palm opening width of 28 centimeters, which is rare in the entire NBA.

Of course, Chen Xiao is not among them.

The open width of Chen Xiao's palm is 30 centimeters, which is 1 centimeter longer than Jordan.

Therefore, he can learn this skill in the future.

If his two physical hardware are not up to standard, he will not be able to learn this skill in front of him.

As for the attribute abilities that Chen Xiao does not have now.

Flexible: 70

Balance: 60

Strength: 67

Bounce: 75

"There is indeed a big difference now, but it will definitely be there in the future."

Chen Xiao thought happily.

Not a joke.

In fact, what he most wanted to learn was a 'weakened version' of his idol Kobe.

But Master Qiao is so open-minded. Doesn’t he feel a little embarrassed if he doesn’t learn?

Chen Xiao was happy at this time.

However, Chen Xiao's agent Fei Gen really had a headache that would explode.

"Chen, what you do is so unprofessional!"

"That's an All-Star!"

"If you can't make the All-Stars this year, what will happen to the contracts we signed with those companies? Will they all be invalidated? That's a total loss of tens of millions of dollars!"

The pleased Chen Xiao ignored agent Feigen's resentment and picked up the ringing cell phone.

Well, pretend not to hear it, but when I hear it, I feel so distressed that I want to cry. You feel sorry for the 4%, but I still feel sorry for my 46%!

"Hey Dayao, congratulations. You have become the first All-Star in China to rely on fans to vote for an All-Star."

"Xiao Chen, are you talking trash to me?"

"Uh, what rubbish talk? I'm telling the truth!"

"Da Yao, you will be the first All-Star voted in by fans in China, and I..."

"I want to be the first All-Star in China voted by the coach!"

"..."

Are you so confident? !

You don’t know who your opponents are, right? !

Not to mention Yao Ming on the other end of the phone, Fagan next to him was shocked.

"Well, don't be so surprised. Just try hard. What if you get in? Haha."

"..."

Yao Ming was silent.

Chen, can you give me back the shock I just felt?

Fagan next to him was even more resentful.
