I’m Really Playing Basketball

February 14, 2003, Valentine's Day.

Being able to stay at home and play games on Valentine's Day is a happy thing for any NBA player.

Well, literally happiness.

After the Nets' morning training ended on February 14, every Nets player looked like a gentleman and put on a gentleman's suit. Some of them had a rose in their mouths, and some of them Holding a diamond ring or other gift box in his hand, he drove directly from the team's training hall to their battlefield.

This day is destined to be a day of constant fire for these millionaires or multi-millionaires in the Nets.

Of course, Chen Xiao and Boss Ji are exceptions.

Boss Ji...

Not much to say.

As for Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao has no date.

After the All-Star Game, Ms. Sun went back to work in South Korea.

And Miss Han...

The current relationship between Chen Xiao and Miss Han is somewhat complicated.

At first, because Miss Sun couldn't give him marriage, family, children, and happiness, she wanted to leave him silently. She didn't want to hang on to him like a bad girl, so she specially found a girl for him that completely matched his aesthetics and taste. Miss Han, who has high values, came over to live with him and promoted that the two could be together.

Even if Miss Sun leaves his side, she still doesn't trust him, fearing that he will be led astray by these "vixens" in the United States.

I have to say that Miss Sun was really worried about him.

But, because of an accident.

Miss Sun failed to withdraw, but Miss Han joined in, and her stomach was still...

well.

Therefore, the current relationship between the three is very complicated.

Chen Xiao is not an irresponsible person. Since Miss Han already has his child in her belly, of course he is willing to marry Miss Han.

Miss Sun means the same thing.

When Miss Han confirmed that she was pregnant on January 25, Chen Xiao and Miss Sun planned to break up. Regardless of whether they still loved each other, this was the best choice.

But……

Miss Han is unwilling.

"Brother, although I long for marriage, I don't want a husband who loves someone else."

This is the superficial reason given by Miss Han.

Chen Xiao feels that this is not necessarily the reason.

"It's almost two months now, and the baby still can't see it at all."

After Miss Sun left, Chen Xiao was most interested in observing Miss Han...the baby in her belly every time she returned home.

To be honest, as an orphan, Chen Xiao really, really likes babies.

Although Chen Xiao has never put pressure on Miss Sun, how could a smart girl like Miss Sun see this?

And this is also the root cause of Miss Sun's 'wrong thing'.

She couldn't give Chen Xiao the happiness he longed for most.

"Brother, it's only been two months now and I'm still wearing clothes. How can you tell that?"

"That's right."

Chen Xiao, who was sitting next to Miss Han Yiren, said with an embarrassed giggle.

"If brother wants to feel the changes in the baby, he can feel it himself."

"..."

Chen Xiao stared at Miss Han with wide eyes, so, okay?

"This is a reward for my brother to come home on time on Valentine's Day."

"..."

Looking at the pure and beautiful smile on Miss Han's face, Chen Xiao felt that being a good man is really, really good...

Valentine's Day in 2003 was Chen Xiao's first Western Valentine's Day after she had a girlfriend.

But, on this day, Chen Xiao didn't have a girlfriend by his side.

On this day, Chen Ling was only surrounded by the child and the child's mother.

"Yiren, the baby is moving!"

"Brother, that's because your hands are shaking!"

Well, I’m so excited, really so excited!

Today, Chen Xiao felt the baby's temperature for the first time.

Although, this is his illusion, the warm and beautiful touch from his palm is not the touch of a baby, it is the touch of a fucking baby.

But, so what?

Anyway, after touching and stroking Miss Han's belly, Chen Xiao was so excited and excited that she couldn't help it.

Even when she came to the Continental Arena in New Jersey on the night of February 14th, Chen Xiao was still excited and excited.

Baby! Baby! Baby!

I feel my baby’s body temperature!

No, silly boy, that's your fucking baby's body temperature, and your baby is still a little bean sprout.

If Ms. Sun were here at this time and saw Chen Xiao like this, she would definitely feel that what she did before was not wrong.

Chen Xiao really loves children!

Of course, Ms. Sun couldn't see what Chen Xiao looked like now, only the Nets players could see it.

Today is Valentine's Day, and the eight o'clock game between the Nets and the Bulls made most Nets players feel a bit dull.

Not only was it dull, but when they arrived at the Continental Arena, their legs were limp.

After all, it's Valentine's Day. Don't blame them for not being determined, it's just that the fairies are too enthusiastic.

At this point, the opposing Bulls players are similar.

Although Chicago is also a gold-selling den, how can it compare to New York?

Valentine's Day coincides with an away game against New York or the Nets, which is a treat for players of any NBA team.

Therefore, in this game between the Nets and the Chicago Bulls at home, it can be imagined that the two teams are only in poor condition.

At the end of the game, the score was 90 to 72.

The Nets scored 90 points in this game against a weak team like the Bulls at home, which is terrible.

As for the Bulls, it's even worse.

After all, Nets players live in New York, so they have more fun on Valentine's Day than usual.

But the players of the Chicago Bulls are different. I finally came to New York on Valentine's Day and didn't play hard. Would I be worthy of myself?

I have to say that the activities launched by the New York girls on Valentine’s Day are so exciting.

Otherwise, why would Chen Xiao be rewarded by Miss Han for returning home on time?

In this game between the Nets and the Bulls, most of the players on both teams were in poor condition.

For the Bulls, only two people scored in double figures, Tyson Chandler and Jaylen Rose. Although they scored in double figures, one made 6 of 18 and the other 3 of 9. The Bulls' team's shooting percentage was 30%.

Among them, the Bulls' team's three-point shooting percentage in this game was 0 of 11. The team missed a single three-pointer. All of them were short. If it is like this, then there is no one else.

From this you can see how hard they played this time.

On the Nets side, most of the players are actually similar.

Boozer made 1 of 3 shots and scored 3 points. It’s hard to tell that this ‘hanhan’ with thick eyebrows and big eyes doesn’t seem that naive.

Martin made 3 of 8 shots and scored 8 points, and Richard Jefferson made 2 of 11 shots and scored 6 points.

It’s not surprising that these two people would be like this.

The strange thing is that Jibo's condition was not good in this game. He made 5 of 14 in the game, and his condition was also very bad.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

Boss Ji, don't you dare to play around outside?

But after thinking about it for a moment, Chen Xiao understood.

That's right, Boss Ji doesn't dare to play outside on Valentine's Day.

But I can’t stop my sister-in-law from playing with him at home!

Other women celebrate Valentine's Day sweetly.

Why can't I be sweet?

it was all your fault!

If you make it difficult for me, don’t even think about it!

Well, when Chen Xiao thought of this, the image immediately came out.

Boss Ji, I'm so lucky.

Chen Xiao glanced sympathetically at Boss Ji, who was still a little distracted at this time, and secretly felt happy in his heart.

Fortunately, neither Miss Sun nor Miss Han seems to be a shrew?

In this game with the Bulls, most of the players were in poor condition, which made Chen Xiao, who was the only one in good condition and scored 21 points on 10 of 18 shots, stand out.

By the way, this game against the Bulls was the first time the Nets played at home after the All-Star Game. Therefore, before the game started, the entire audience shouted "MVP" to Chen Xiao when he came on the court. ! '.

When Chen Xiao came out, he also came out with the All-Star MVP trophy and the Rookie Challenge MVP trophy that the NBA officially produced for him later.

As for Chen Xiao's entrance words, the length of his entrance words has also increased because of these two MVPs.

Chen Xiao's length increased.

Nets fans' sense of security has also increased.

congratulations.

After defeating the Bulls at home on Valentine's Day on February 14, the Nets will accept the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers at home on February 16.

However, before the start of this game, the league announced the league's Player of the Week from February 9th to February 15th.

This week is actually a bit short due to the All-Star weekend.

Chen Xiao led the team to 2 wins and 1 loss by averaging 24.3 points and 5 rebounds in the three games after the All-Star break, and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

In these three games, all the Nets players, from baseman to others, were in poor condition, except for Chen Xiao, who was in good condition.

So there is nothing wrong with Chen Xiao representing the Nets this week.

Chen Xiao's competitor for Best of the Week this time is Knicks player Alan Houston.

Alan Houston led the team to 1 win and 1 loss after the All-Star Game, averaging 29 points and 6 assists per game. His statistics were much better than Chen Xiao's.

But Chen Xiao's away win over the Grizzlies was a big bonus, and the Nets also had a better record.

As for the Western Conference, the winner of the Week is Tim Duncan of the Spurs.

Duncan led the team to a complete victory this week, averaging 32 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks per game.

Compared with Duncan's data, Chen Xiao and Alan Houston's data look like they are just playing.

Let me tell you, Duncan is not the one with the best statistics in the Western Conference this week.

After the All-Star break, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers has scored 40+ points in three consecutive games, 42 points, 51 points, and 44 points respectively. This week’s data is 45.5 points per game, and he leads the team with 2 wins and 1 loss. .

The reason why Kobe was not able to win the Best of the Week is because in a direct dialogue with the Spurs, Kobe scored 44 points but lost.

Coupled with the 46 points Kobe scored in the Lakers and Knicks game before the All-Star Game, in fact, Kobe has scored 40+ points in four consecutive games!

A strong one!

After Kobe pushed back his afro, shaved his beard, and changed his jersey number from No. 8 to No. 24, his fighting ability was terrifying.

So much so that those netizens on the Internet who mocked Kobe’s Mamba spirit have now begun to tremble.

It looks like Kobe is going to slap them in the face like Garnett!

What the fans saw was that Kobe was going to use Mamba Mentality to slap those fans who laughed at his Mamba Mentality in the face.

What NBA players and coaches saw was another integration of the OK combination.

Obviously, this time, OK Group seems to have really woken up.

Moreover, this time the OK combination seems to have turned into a KO combination.

At this time, the crazy Kobe and the newly released KO combination attracted the attention of the entire league.

Chen Xiao and the Nets have naturally been paying attention to Kobe and the Lakers, who are slowly going crazy after the All-Star Game.

As the first representative of the Nets and number one in the league, the pressure on the Nets is certainly considerable.

Especially after the KO combination came out, a small group of experts openly and secretly criticized Chen Xiao's unprofessional behavior, which created a super enemy for the Nets.

However, the sound is not too loud now.

Moreover, no one on the Net blamed Chen Xiao for the Lakers' resurgence.

After all, Boss Lianji said it.

"We are fighting the strongest!"

Therefore, such a Lakers actually puts more pressure on the teams in the Western Conference, especially the Kings and Spurs.

The Spurs were able to suppress such a strong KO Lakers on February 14th, thanks to Duncan.

So much so that after the game, many people were shocked by Duncan's strength.

Perhaps only Chen Xiao was not so shocked.

After all, there is only one S-level player among the 24 All-Stars!

Although he is S-, he is probably the only S-level player in the league right now.

Duncan is incredibly powerful this season!

Before, Chen Xiao always felt that the team that could break through in the Western Conference should be the Lakers or the Kings. Now it seems that although the Spurs led by Duncan are not that strong overall, Duncan is strong!

Maybe, the Spurs will also be very competitive in the Western Conference playoffs this season.

After all, the Spurs have the best players in the league right now.

Of course, the KO combination has just merged and may become stronger in the future.

In short, due to the presence of Duncan, KO and the King this season, coupled with Garnett who truly understands the spirit of the Wolf King, and the sudden rise of Nowitzki, the competition in the Western Conference this season may be very cruel!

Therefore, the scenery is still the best in the east.

Best of the week is easy to get, best of the month is easy to get, everything is easy to get.

Lying in the east and watching the brutal fighting in the west, you will really have a pleasant feeling that the scenery here is unique.

On the evening of February 16th, the Continental Arena in New Jersey.

The Nets host the Philadelphia 76ers, currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Compared with the previous three games, the state of the Nets players has been significantly improved in this game with the 76ers.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets held the visiting 76ers to only 32% shooting. Under the Nets' strong defense, the 76ers made only 7 of 22 shots in the first quarter. The 76ers were the most efficient player in the first quarter. It was Iverson who made 3 of 8 and shot 37.5%.

The 76ers' offensive state seems miserable?

In fact, this is the daily life of the 76ers.

The entire 76ers team pointed at Iverson to attack alone, and the offensive capabilities of the others were extremely low.

The 76ers' daily routine is that Iverson takes over half of the team's shots, with a shooting percentage of just over 40%.

Isn't this the situation of the 76ers in the first quarter of this game?

Including free throws, Iverson takes half of the 76ers' shots, and his shooting percentage is also around 40%.

Therefore, although the 76ers looked miserable in the first quarter, in fact, their offense did not have many problems under the Nets' crazy defense.

The biggest problem for the 76ers in the first quarter was defense.

In the first quarter, the 76ers allowed the Nets to shoot 60% from the field!

Ever since Iverson taught Chen Xiao step-by-step the running skills and actively looked for shorter players to attack, the 76ers lost control of the Nets' offense.

Snow and Iverson are too short!

Mutombo is too old to be alone!

Therefore, after the 76ers lost to the Nets 90-103 in this game, the look on the face of 76ers head coach Larry Brown was so ugly.

In the past, when the 76ers faced the Nets, because Iverson could always beat Kidd, the 76ers could score 50-50 with the Nets, at least 40-60, but now, even 28-80 is too much!

And the reason for this is all Iverson's fault!

With the rise of the Lakers, some people began to criticize Chen Xiao, but not loudly.

As the 76ers lost control of the Nets, Larry Brown's criticism of Iverson became even louder.

It's just that Iverson doesn't care at all.

In this game, faced with the crazy stranglehold of James, Iverson still scored 32 points on 11-of-24 shooting. Not only did he have a strong offense, but he also defended James, stealing 4 times from his hands!

Facing Iverson's defense in this game, Key made eight turnovers.

Iverson's defense has a lot to complain about.

For example, he is too short, or he likes to take risks too much.

If you are too short, you can easily be picked up by your opponent.

He likes to take risks and steals, and is easily broken through by opponents. After the opponent breaks through, he will shoot open.

When a defense like Iverson faces players like Ray Allen, it will definitely be miserable.

But it's different against players like Boss Ji.

With the shooting ability of Big Brother, no matter how short Iverson is, there is no way to punish Iverson with a pull-up.

With his shooting ability, even if Iverson was out of position due to a steal, he might not be able to score an open shot.

Iverson can't be punished.

Iverson can steal more fiercely and defend more risk-takingly.

And Boss Ji will feel even more uncomfortable.

This is why Big Brother Ji feels very uncomfortable every time he meets Iverson.

Such restraint!

Iverson really restrained Boss Ji to death.

After leading the team to lose to the Nets in an away game, the 76ers' record reached 27 wins and 25 losses. This record is actually very, very dangerous.

Because the Magic's current record is 26 wins and 26 losses, the 76ers' record is very, very close to the Magic.

The Nets are very, very strong in the Eastern Conference this season. For the teams in the Eastern Conference, if they can't finish eighth, they won't finish eighth.

This season except for the Nets, Pistons, and Pacers.

In theory, these five teams, the 76ers, Celtics, Magic, Hornets, and Bucks, are all theoretically likely to finish eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The records of the five teams are too close!

Therefore, the battle between strong teams in the West is very cruel.

On the Eastern side, the teams in the middle fought extremely hard.

In order not to be eighth, these five teams have worked hard after the All-Star Game.

Compared with other teams, the 76ers and Bucks were in poor shape after the All-Star break.

It is mainly caused by the discord between the bosses and head coaches of these two teams.

Once upon a time, these two teams were opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals, the 76ers defeated the Bucks 4-3 to advance to the Finals.

Two years ago, these two teams were the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

But now, two years later, they are all encountering problems. I have to say that the world is changing so fast that some people are caught off guard.

Two years ago, who would have thought that the Nets, the worst team in the Eastern Conference that had been competing for the top pick, could rise so strongly?

It can only be said that Ji Laoda's eastward journey has changed the situation in the entire east.

By the way, on February 16, the day the Nets defeated the 76ers at home, the biggest news in the league was that the Los Angeles Lakers' guard Kobe Bryant scored another 40 points!

Los Angeles Lakers vs New York Knicks.

Kobe Bryant scored 40 points on 14-of-31 shooting!

After the game against the 76ers, Chen Xiao was shocked when he saw this news headline!

Only 40 points!

When did the NBA start using the word "only" before scoring 40 points?

This word really explains how incredible Mr. Ke is now!

"I'm very curious now whether Boss Ke's strength has reached S level!"

No joke.

Seeing Boss Ke like this, Chen Xiao was really curious!

On February 19, 2003, the Nets, who had a day off, faced the Miami Heat, currently last in the league, at home.

This game was a pretty friendly one, and Wade has given up on the playoffs since the All-Star break.

Now Wade and the Heat are fully committed to cultivating Yao Ming and supporting Yao Ming's growth.

In this game against the Nets, Yao Ming shot 12 of 22 from the field and once again scored 30 points. I have to say that Yao Ming is really suitable for the Nets. The two insiders of the Nets are definitely Yao Ming's favorite. opponent.

In this China Derby between the Heat and the Nets, the entire Heat team is supporting Yao Ming to grow in statistics.

Of course the Nets are also supporting Chen Xiao.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 22 goals and also scored 30 points.

Once again, two Chinese players scored 30 points in the same game.

The last time, we also traced back to the first China Derby between the Nets and the Heat.

I have to say that Chinese fans are really happy this season.

Every Chinese derby between Chen Xiao and Yao Ming is "exciting".

Of course, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming scored the same, but in the final game, the Nets defeated the Heat 104 to 99.

After the Nets defeated the Heat at home on the 18th, on the 20th and 21st, the Nets defeated the Pacers 98-91 at home and the Wizards 93-83 away.

The victory of these two games allowed the Nets to win five consecutive games after losing to the Magic, and once again returned to the state before the All-Star break.

After Chen Xiao scored 26 points on 11 of 22 games against the Wizards, his streak of scoring 20 points once again reached ten games.

Duncan and Mourning's rookie record of 13 consecutive games with 20+ points is close.

However, compared with Chen Xiao's ten consecutive games with 20+ points and becoming a national hot spot.

This time, news across the United States rarely reported Chen Xiao's consecutive 20+ points.

Because, at this time, all the media in the United States are focusing on Kobe!

Because, Kobe is now having a crazy streak of 40+!

Looking at Kobe's recent scores in the newspaper, Chen Xiao felt as if he had seen a god!

Really, a living god!

After Jordan, the NBA has another miracle!

ps: Historically, Kobe had consecutive 40+ games during this period.
