I’m Really Playing Basketball

Miami, a month ago, the Miami Heat double-killed the Los Angeles Lakers led by OK, and recently started a losing streak in which they can't win.

With the All-Star Game coming soon, the NBA regular season schedule is now a little more than halfway over.

Without Mourning and the team entering the "era of winning," this team's record this season is the Heat's worst since Pat Riley moved in.

After Pat Riley came to the Miami Heat, the Miami Heat have not played so poorly in any season.

The 49 games before the All-Star break have been played, and the Miami Heat's record is 8 wins and 41 losses, firmly ranking last in the league.

And it has also opened up the gap with the Cavaliers, the second-last team in the league, the Nuggets, the third-last team in the league, and the Raptors, the fourth-last team in the league.

The Cavaliers, led by Ricky Davis, defeated the Houston Mosaic at home yesterday and now have a record of 10 wins and 40 losses.

The Raptors have won several games in a row because of Carter's comeback, and their current record is 14 wins and 34 losses.

In order to play in the All-Star Game, Carter pretended to be ill and temporarily failed. He had to win when he came back. That was too shameful.

It has to be said that Boss Ka is not a professional bad player.

I want to play in the All-Stars, I also want the No. 1 pick, this is really... too much to ask for.

As for the Nuggets, the team has a good foundation. Some teams really can't lose. Their current record is 13 wins and 36 losses.

The four teams with the worst records this season are actually winning recently.

As for the Miami Heat, they are still losing games.

Yesterday at home, facing the Western Conference powerhouse Spurs, the Miami Heat finally lost 65-67.

This miserable score...

but.

It can be seen from the score of this game that the Miami Heat really do not want to win.

The players played very hard, but David Stern and the league were really holding back.

Let the Heat play a bunch of strong teams in the early stages of this season.

After finally getting through the early stages, when the Heat played against not-so-strong teams, they arranged a bunch of long-distance back-to-back games. Today they play the Knicks in New York, and tomorrow they will go to Los Angeles to play the Clippers.

Today we play the Hawks at home, and yesterday we arranged for the Heat to play the Spurs at home, letting the Spurs consume the Heat players' energy first.

The Heat are originally a team composed mostly of rookies. Who of these rookie players can withstand such a deliberately targeted schedule?

If it weren't for the Heat's unbelievable back-to-back double defeat of the Lakers a month ago, the Heat's current record would be even worse.

I'm afraid the Heat are rushing to break the worst record in history this season.

Who would have thought that the Miami Heat could beat the Los Angeles Lakers at home and away?

The league arranged such a schedule to prepare the Lakers to completely defeat the Heat.

I really didn't expect the Heat to collapse the Lakers in the end.

Without these two games against the Lakers, the Heat's season would have collapsed long ago under the league's schedule.

The team collapsed.

The players collapsed.

The fans were also devastated.

But after these two games, the team has completed its season tasks, the players are no longer under pressure, and the fans are just like celebrating the New Year every day, and they don't care whether the team is currently last.

I have to say, this is really thanks to the Lakers and O'Pang.

By the way, in this era, as an Eastern Conference team, being able to double-kill the OK Lakers in a season is really comparable to the joy of winning the championship.

This is no joke.

If the Lakers can still win the championship this season, then as the Heat double-kill the Lakers, they can definitely say that they are the father of the championship!

It can be said that under the pressure of David Stern, the Lakers single-handedly saved the Miami Heat this season.

Not only does it help the Heat relieve the pressure on their record.

At the same time, the Heat's two stars also benefited a lot.

Because Yao Ming defeated the Lakers twice, most of the pressure of his All-Star starting position disappeared instantly.

Wade's outstanding performance in the double win against the Lakers instantly made him a name in the hearts of all coaches in the NBA. In the end, the rookie, who averaged 21+5+7+2+1 per game, was able to enter the NBA as a rookie. NBA All-Star.

A team that is last in the league!

There are actually two players entering the All-Star Game!

This can simply be described as an incredible miracle!

Among all the teams in the Eastern Conference, the Nets and Heat have more than two All-Stars.

Other teams only have one at most!

Yao Ming and Wade!

The rookies of these two teams this year, they actually became NBA All-Stars!

It has been several days since Wade was also selected for the All-Star Game.

But for Miami fans, they are still like a dream!

Yao Ming and Wade were both selected to the All-Stars!

Not to mention the fans of the Heat, even Wade himself seems to be dreaming.

"Chen, I'm really going to be teammates with Michael at the All-Stars!"

"Hahahaha, I really want to fight alongside Jordan in the All-Star Game!"

"I want to give Michael Jordan a perfect goodbye at this year's All-Star Game!"

In Jordan's last season, being able to be teammates with Jordan in the All-Star Game was definitely a great honor for die-hard Joe Mi like Wade and Richard Jefferson.

When everyone returns to Jordan for the last All-Star game in the future, their names will appear, and they can become part of Jordan's history in the future.

This is really a very dreamy thing.

Therefore, after being selected into the All-Star Game with himself, Wade would call him with a silly smile every day to confirm.

Because Wade himself felt that he was dreaming.

Judging from the Heat's record this season, in addition to becoming a starter and entering the All-Stars, he could also be selected as a substitute. He never thought of it.

but……

This is actually normal.

Don't think of the Heat as one of those last-last teams in the league in the past.

The Heat are the best team in the NBA in the first three quarters. Yesterday's game between the Heat and the Spurs was also a 50-50 split.

The Heat lose a lot, not because the team is not good enough, nor because Wade is not good enough.

The person who votes for the All-Star substitutes is the coach, and the coach has a good idea of ​​which player among his opponents is better.

Fans have the best players in their hearts.

Players have the best player in mind.

The coach also has the best player in mind.

Chen Xiao asked his team's head coach Byron Scott, and Wade was among his votes.

The teams led by Wade and Yao Ming are really difficult to beat!

Ask Phil Jackson, ask Larry Brown, ask Popovich, ask the famous coaches in the NBA. In the end, no matter whether they lost to the Heat or won against the Heat, they dare not say that they defeated the Heat. Got' combination.

"If Yao Ming and Wade can grow up, they will be one of the strongest combinations in NBA history!"

According to this evaluation Chen Xiao received from Nets head coach Byron Scott.

It can only be said that Yao Ming and Wade are really suitable for each other!

The two of them are inseparable together!

Therefore, after the Eastern Conference All-Star substitute lineup was announced, public opinion and fans across the United States were in an uproar.

A team ranked last had the guts to have two All-Stars.

But what is incredible is that many NBA head coaches have come out to support Wade's qualifications for the All-Stars, believing that he is one of the most difficult players to defend in the NBA.

Players entering the All-Stars never rely on their strength.

Starting the game depends on the love of the fans.

Being a substitute depends on the love of the head coach.

If it depends on strength, how can Chen Xiao compare with Ray Allen Pierce?

But why did Ray Allen and Pierce go undrafted?

Because Ray Allen and his head coach George Karl are now directly at odds with each other and are swearing at each other every day.

George Karl was already preparing to correct Michael Redd, and then kick Ray Allen out, publicly criticizing Ray Allen in the media, and Ray Allen of course fought back.

At such a critical moment, Ray Allen and George Karl, who has a huge reputation in the NBA, directly quarreled. This is too much for the coach.

And Pierce...

It can only be said that the ghost of Dream Team 5 is still floating over the United States. Without Chen Xiao's outstanding performance this season, the ghost of Dream Team 5 may have disappeared long ago.

Pierce's reputation may be much better.

but now……

Pippi still needs to be patient.

What's more, although Chen Xiao's strength is not as good as Ray Allen and Pierce, the same cannot be said for Wade.

Especially in the mind of the head coach.

In short, to be able to enter this year's All-Star Game, Wade relied not on luck and shady information, but because of his strength and performance, he got this opportunity.

If he didn't lead the Heat to a 50-50 matchup with his opponents in every game, only to lose in the end, Wade wouldn't have been able to defeat Pierce and Ray Allen.

"Xiao Tai, don't overthink and don't be nervous. You deserve to be in the All-Stars and be teammates with Jordan!"

Every day when Wade calls, Chen Xiao needs to say something like this before this kid hangs up the phone.

It can be seen that Wade is still under a lot of pressure due to the surprise and the controversy in national public opinion in recent days.

Although Wade is also a person with a big heart.

But he does feel guilty!

No matter how 50-50 the game is, if you lose, you lose!

The Heat's record is indeed last in the league.

Even if the Heat are the most magical number one team in NBA history, they are still number one.

Wade is a strong person and an honest person, so he naturally feels that being the last in the rankings should not receive such a reward.

Deep down he felt that he deserved it.

Therefore, after both Chen Xiao and Wade were selected as All-Stars, Chen Xiao fell into the work of doing psychological massage for Wade every day before he had time to enjoy the glory.

After Chen Xiao and Wade were selected as All-Stars, the 2002 rookie class became a rookie class that many people found unbelievable.

A class of rookies that draft experts call a young draft year can actually have three rookies entering the All-Stars.

Even the highly praised rookies from the 1996 class and the 1984 class couldn't do it.

So, are the 2002 rookies considered a big draft year or a small draft year?

Anyway, it's amazing.

During this period of time when public opinion across the country was debating over this year's All-Stars, Chen Xiao had many other things to do besides comforting Wade, who was under a lot of pressure.

For example, because he was selected as an All-Star, Chen Xiao needed to shoot many All-Star special commercials with many commercial partners during this period.

"Ms. Han, your performance today was great, you acted just like a real pregnant woman!"

"Mr. Chen, you too. When you look at Ms. Han's stomach, it really seems like there is a baby inside!"

"..."

The director is excited. These two newcomers to acting have finally improved. In the future, he will finally have less pain!

Mr. Chen and Miss Han were silent.

Mr. Director, some things are not what you see.

In addition to commercial promotion, Chen Xiao also has to accept interviews and even exclusive interviews from many domestic TV programs and large media.

Coupled with the Nets' game tasks...

During this time, Chen Xiao was so busy that his whole body no longer looked like his own.

Fortunately, after the boss returned to the team, the Nets are back on track, and the game is not so difficult.

On February 3, the Nets defeated the away SuperSonics 109-108 at home. The score in this game was very close, but it was not a decisive victory. The SuperSonics have always been chasing points.

In this game, after the Nets have the base boss, the offensive state is obviously not at the same level. In this game, the Nets made more than 52% of their field goals, and even more than 53% of their three-pointers.

Chen Xiao, Martin, and Richard Jefferson all scored 20 points, and Boozer finally reached double figures.

Among them, Chen Xiao made 10 of 18 in this game and scored 27 points.

It is worth mentioning that the Nets scored 65 points in the first half of this game. The reason why they scored 109 points was mainly because they played so well in the first half. Ferson and Martin drifted away.

The Nets made 12 turnovers in the entire second half. In the entire second half, the Nets took 27 shots, compared with 41 for the opposing SuperSonics.

This gap cannot be closed even if the Nets have a higher shooting percentage.

Almost, the Nets were blown away by Martin and Richard Jefferson.

However, because Big Brother Key is back, facing a strong team in the Western Conference like the SuperSonics, he played so well in the first half, it's normal for him to drift a bit, and it's fine to win in the end.

On February 6, the Nets' last game before the All-Star Game, an away game against the 76ers, everyone on the Net was very focused.

The Nets, under the leadership of Johnston, defeated the 76ers led by Allen Iverson 111-85 in the away game.

The performance on and off the basketball court was outstanding, especially Chen Xiao's performance.

In the game, he made 12 of 16, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. After three quarters and the first half of the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao scored 35 points.

I have to say that with Ji as the boss, Chen Xiao's offense is really easy.

Let’s take this game as an example.

In this game, the 76ers asked former Nets player Keith Van Horn to guard him.

Without Boss Ji, Chen Xiao can only force Van Horn.

But with Boss Ji, Chen Xiao doesn't need to fight Van Horn at all when attacking.

With Key on his side, he can move around and doesn't need to stare at Van Horn for hard shots.

With the help of the running skills Iverson taught him, don't run open, avoid the tall help defenses like Mutombo, and run to the defensive area that the two guards of the 76ers, Iverson and Snow, can help When it comes to shooting, the two men are 1.83 meters tall and the other is 1.91 meters tall. With their heights, they basically have no interference with Chen Xiao in assisting defense.

Boss Ji passed the ball in a timely manner and Chen Xiao's own shooting was very good and excellent. Chen Xiao immediately scored in this game.

Therefore, after the game against the Nets, when Chen Xiao hugged and greeted Iverson, Chen Xiao could clearly feel the expression in the eyes of 76ers coach Larry Brown looking at Iverson next to him of anger.

There is no doubt that Chen Xiao, who received Iverson's teachings in the last game against the 76ers, is stronger.

It becomes even more difficult for the 76ers to play the Nets.

As Chen Xiao becomes stronger and the Nets become stronger, the 76ers' prospects for this season are visibly collapsing.

This season has collapsed and Mutombo is old. So, what hope does the 76ers have?

Wouldn’t all his hard work with the 76ers over the years be in vain?

And this, in Larry Brown's view, is all the fault of Iverson's willfulness and unprofessionalism.

To be honest, it is normal for Larry Brown to be angry with Iverson for his behavior.

It can only be said that the pursuits of the two of them are different. One thing and the other are different. You don’t like me, and I don’t like you. There is no right or wrong, only inappropriateness.

Chen Xiao felt that Iverson must have felt Larry Brown's anger towards him, but...

This aloof super defender acted as if he didn't exist.

For an NBA superstar, he can indeed ignore any displeasure from his head coach.

angry?

You have to hold it in for me too!

This is too domineering!

At this point, superstars like Ray Allen are a little embarrassed.

I've been driven crazy by George Karl lately.

Superstars and superstars are not treated the same in the NBA!

Chen Xiao was secretly envious of Iverson.

Of course, he is far away from Iverson's status. He is at best an All-Star player now. Ray Allen has not yet reached the status of a superstar, and he is still far away.

After defeating the 76ers, Chen Xiao and the Nets players did not go directly to Atlanta, where the All-Stars are located, but returned to New Jersey first.

As a major exporter of players in this year's All-Star Game, this year's All-Star Weekend can definitely be regarded as a victory for the Nets.

Four players were selected for the All-Star Game, which is not a good show.

Chen Xiao, Kidd, Richard Jefferson, Martin, and even Boozer who participated in the Rookie Challenge all brought their families with them.

Of course, compared with Boss Ji and the others, Chen Xiao's family seemed a little special on the Nets' special plane from New Jersey to Atlanta.

Looking not far away, Chen Xiao was surrounded by two oriental beauties, one on the left and one on the right.

Envy of Richard Jefferson's real name.

Richard Jefferson's girlfriend is actually very good-looking.

To be fair, most of the girlfriends of NBA stars are very good-looking.

but……

No matter how good-looking he is, he is still one.

Even if most of them are more than one or two in public and private, it is impossible to bring them out publicly like Chen Xiao.

I really don’t have that ability!

Shouldn't this be torn into pieces?

Faced with the envy of his teammates, Chen Xiao looked at his nose and nose and was unmoved at all. He looked like you should not be envious because he still has a headache.

Have you never heard that one monk has water to drink, but two monks have no water to drink?

In short, the current relationship between the three is very complicated.

Ignoring these people's gazes, Chen Xiao looked at his attribute panel very intently.

Speed: 70+ (70)

Explosive power: 85+

Defensive run: 70+ (70)

Evaluation: B (a durable player with rough skills, qualified single defense ability, excellent explosive power, and outstanding mid-range shooting and three-point ability.)

Chen Xiao added the two C-level potential cards obtained by the Rookie of the Month and Player of the Month to his strength. Now Chen Xiao's strength potential has reached 80.

Regardless of the fact that the strength attribute adds 1 point a week, it seems very slow.

In fact, it really doesn’t add up to being slow at all!

In less than two months, Chen Xiao has added 8 points, with a strength potential of 80, which can only be added until the end of the regular season.

Now Chen Xiao also has a B-level potential card and a B-level card with strong defensive attributes.

Both of these potential cards can continue to add potential to strength, up to 90 points.

But Chen Xiao is still hesitating whether these two B-level potential cards should be used for power.

After all, B-level potential cards are different from C-level cards. C-level cards have a stable source.

Grade B, this is really not necessarily the case.

Now he has two choices, one is to give priority to improving his strength, and the other is to give priority to learning Jordan's purple skills.

The two growth directions will also result in two styles of his playing style.

If there are enough potential cards, there will be no such route battles.

"I wonder if the All-Star Game is a friendly match or a regular NBA game? If it is a regular game, what level of regular game is it?"

Chen Xiao is very curious.

He desires any honor in any official competition, because they are all potential cards!

He doesn't even miss competitions like the Asian Games. As long as there are official competitions, he doesn't want to miss them. This is his way of growth!

Therefore, this time Chen Xiao not only participated in the All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge, Chen Xiao also signed up for the three-point shooting contest.

Chen Xiao had never thought about the honor of being in the All-Star Game.

But Chen Xiao, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge and the champion of the three-point contest, still has ideas.

On Friday, February 7, 2003, a group of people from the Nets came to Atlanta. After settling in, Chen Xiao and the others left the Nets players and went to find Wade and the others.

In the hotel officially prepared by the NBA for NBA All-Star players, Chen Xiao met Wade and his wife Theo Vaughn, and also met his good friend Ron Howard, who also participated in the Rookie Challenge.

Obviously, the three of them were waiting for them here on purpose.

This is the hotel where the All-Stars stay, but the guests in the hotel are not only the All-Star players and their families, but also VIPs invited by NBA officials.

Just as Chen Xiao was chatting with Wade, Yao Ming and Luo, a childish and pretending to be mature voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Hello, I'm King James."

"..."

Looking at this familiar young man, Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Next to them, Wade and Ron Howard's expressions began to darken instantly.

King?

Whose King are you?

Where did the pretender come from? !

He actually put it on in front of me!

Just when Wade was about to teach the boy a lesson, Chen Xiao quickly grabbed Wade and looked at the boy with a smile.

"Hello, I am God-Chen, he is God-Wei and God-Luo, and we are 'Godsiri'."

Look at the smile on Chen Xiao's face.

The young man was a little dumbfounded.

King or God, who is greater?
