I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 178 Enjoy the most amazing rookie performance in the NBA!

Chen Xiao! Chen Xiao! It’s still Chen Xiao!

Because of the nature of the nationally broadcast game between the Nets and the Heat.

After Chen Xiao played against the Heat and reached 2,000+ points for the season, Chen Xiao's name was all over the news and newspapers, whether at home or abroad.

The youngest Mr. 2000 points.

Mr. Jordan's first rookie with 2000 points.

He made 269 three-pointers in a single season, ranking first in history in terms of the number of three-pointers made in a single season.

Etc., etc.

All of this was achieved by Chen Xiao in just 75 games.

To be honest, this is still shocking.

On the plane from New York to New Orleans, Chen Xiao looked at the newspaper in his hand and was quite shocked.

"Am I this season, so good?"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Richard Jefferson next to him became a little reluctant.

What makes me so good this season!

You are really amazing!

"You have won all the Rookie of the Month awards so far. You have won three of the five Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month awards so far, one more than James. You averaged 26.9 points per game during the season and ranked fifth in the scoring list. He averaged 22 shots, ranking fourth, and averaged 12 shots per game this season, ranking fifth. Look at what USA Today said, your scoring statistics are all among the best this season!"

Seeing Richard Jefferson's heartbroken look at this time, Chen Xiao felt that he should be very envious of himself.

but……

"Richard, you only scored 27 points in 22 shots. Is this amazing?"

"Of course it's great. You can take 22 shots per game, which is great. Besides, your shooting percentage is not low, 45.4% of the field goals and 40.1% of the three-pointers are both very good!"

"makes sense."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded.

Although he himself feels that when the team needs a strong attack and an offensive superstar, his strength may not be as good as rookie Iverson at the moment.

But in the eyes of Richard Jefferson and many media, his current data is better than rookie Iverson Diaw.

After all, in the NBA, strength and data have always been separate.

It's just like having more assists and having good organization have nothing to do with each other.

Chen Xiao has always felt that Billups of the Pistons is definitely a very good organizer, but his assists are not as good as those of Marbury and Terry.

It's not that he looks down on Marbury and his good friend Terry. The assists and organization of these two people really have nothing to do with each other.

Isn't it time to dump teammates?

Chen Xiao feels that if he has the ball, he can also get this data.

Of course, he will definitely be beaten to death by Boss Ji when he gets this data.

Strength belongs to strength, and data belongs to data. Chen Xiao’s current data is very Dior!

According to USA Today, Chen Xiao is as good as Jordan in terms of scoring this season.

Of course, Chen Xiao's current averages are 26.9 points, 4 rebounds and 0.6 steals per game, while Jordan's rookie season averages were 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals, which is better than Chen Xiao's data in all aspects.

Apart from scoring, Chen Xiao's other statistics are basically incomparable to Jordan's.

However, USA Today said that Jordan is not as good as Chen Xiao in many ways.

For example, Chen Xiao has scored nine direct kills this season. For example, Chen Xiao is about to achieve 70 wins with the Nets this season.

In the last few games of the season, the Nets' opponents were not strong except for the last away game against the Spurs.

It can be said that 70 wins is already a certainty. The only question now is whether the Nets can tie the Bulls' 72 wins.

This is also something that fans and media reporters across the United States are paying attention to.

Overall, the Nets were able to win 72 games this season. To be honest, this really shocked the United States.

Because at the beginning of the season, all media in the United States predicted that the Nets would have a maximum of 60 wins.

Now, I suddenly reached 70 wins, which is really shocking.

Therefore, according to USA Today, the Nets can achieve 70 wins this season. In addition to the cornerstone of the Nets, Chen Xiao is the second biggest contributor.

"Kidd took the Nets from a last-place team competing for the No. 1 pick to a 60-win Finals team, while Wonder Boy took a 60-win Finals team to a 70-win historic team. !”

"Wonderboy has brought an incredible ceiling to the Nets this season!"

"Perhaps next season the Wonder Boy's buzzer beaters will no longer be as magical as this season, and there will no longer be the miracle of nine buzz kills leading to nine wins in a single season. Next season the Nets may return to a 60-win team. The team, without the magical boy next season, may have become an ordinary boy, but!"

"Enjoy what the Wonder Boy has brought to the world this season. The Wonder Boy this season has reached his peak since his debut, and at his peak, he has brought the world the most incredible rookie performance in NBA history!"

To be honest, USA Today speaks very highly of Chen Xiao.

He is not like the domestic saying that he is the strongest rookie in the NBA.

But he admitted that he is the most magical rookie in the NBA and deserves the nickname "Wonder Boy".

Of course, whether it is USA Today or other media, most of them have this argument.

Some of them praise him, and some are not very optimistic about his sustainability.

For example, the media in the United States that are praising him have mentioned that next season, he may not be so magical.

After all, there are nine buzzer beaters in a single season, and each buzzer beater is a true buzzer beater that beats the clock.

No matter how you look at it, this is all luck, not strength, right?

If this is strength, Jordan doesn't even have it!

Does Chen Xiao have the strength of Jordan?

It's talking about peak Jordan.

Even Jordan at his peak did not have the ability to hit nine buzzer-beaters 100% of the time.

Chen Xiao definitely doesn't have the strength of Jordan. If he can do such an incredible thing, he can only rely on luck.

This logic is okay.

Chen Xiao's luck is incredible this season, and it will be difficult for him to be so lucky next season.

Unless he is the chosen one, he can be so lucky in every season.

But there is someone else who is the chosen one.

God couldn't choose two sons, could he?

Of course, this is not to look down on Chen Xiao, but simply to call on fans to cherish Chen Xiao's unique rookie performance this season.

"Next season..."

Chen Xiao blinked his big eyes, full of expectation.

"Chen, don't think about not having another season next season, this season, we will achieve greatness!"

“We want to enjoy ourselves in time!”

As the third in charge of the team, Richard Jefferson has the aura of being the owner of the team. But, if you have this aura, why don't you just score a few more shots?

Whether we can achieve greatness this season, you are now a very important key, okay?

It was also mentioned in USA Today.

"The Nets are likely to be the first 70-win team in NBA history without a championship."

Well, it's reasonable and convincing.

Originally, the Nets were not the biggest favorite, but one of the three favorites.

Now after the Boston Celtics figured out the tactic against the Nets, the Nets' market is even worse.

The Nets are going down, the Lakers and Kings are going up, and the gap between the three is widening.

To be reasonable, the Nets are strong, but they have many shortcomings.

Except for Chen Xiao, neither Kidd Martin nor Richard Jefferson has a stable shooting ability.

With the strength of the Nets, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for Chen Xiao's 9 incredible life-changing kills, the Nets would not have been able to win 70 games. At best, they would have been a 60-win team.

And it is still a 60-win team in the East, which is equivalent to a 55-win team in the West.

The Nets are now brought to a position that is far from where the Nets can be.

Of course, for the players of the Nets, who cares about these!

"70 wins, no, 72 wins, 72 wins are waving to us now!"

After Richard Jefferson uttered his voice, all the Nets players on the entire plane howled.

Now, the goal of the Nets is to tie the Chicago Bulls!

On April 4, after the Nets beat the Heat at home, they came to New Orleans to face the Hornets as a guest.

Before the start of the game against the Hornets, Kevin deliberately went to show off in front of his former teammate in the Mavericks, Jamal Mashburn, one of the ‘3Js’.

When the relationship between the three of us exploded and we parted ways, now you can only wander to a small place like New Orleans to survive.

But I, the base boss, have already led the team to compete for the best record in the league's history.

When we parted ways, I said, in thirty years Hedong, in thirty years Hexi, don’t bully Jijitie!

Now, you see, Benji’s shooting percentage this season is over 45%!

"Boss Ji, are you so boring too?"

Seeing Boss Ji come back satisfied after performing in front of Jamal Mashburn, Chen Xiao felt it was amazing.

"How can you be happy if you are so boring?"

"You don't understand boring happiness now, but you will understand it later."

Boss Ji touched Chen Xiao's shoulder lightly and said with a smile.

By the way, Boss Ji is really a very vindictive person.

Of course, let’s not talk about whether Chen Xiao will know about boring happiness in the future.

In this game with the Hornets, the difficulty of the Nets' game increased again because of the boredom of Key.

No, not only has the difficulty of the Nets' game increased, but Chen Xiao's game has also become more difficult!

Ever since the Boston Celtics devised that strategy, the Nets' games haven't been that easy to play.

The Hornets are not a weak team. This team's current record is 41 wins and 34 losses, which is very strong!

James ran away after being bored in front of Jamal Mashburn. With his shooting ability, Jamal Mashburn couldn't put flowers in the cow dung of Jim and defend him with all his strength. Thank you for this.

In the end, Chen Xiao suffered the wrath of Jamal Mashburn.

"Jamal Mashburn's defensive attitude tonight was unbelievable!"

To be fair, Jamal Mashburn's defensive attitude in this game shocked even Teacher Zhang on the sidelines.

Jamal Mashburn's defensive attitude in this game was so upright, which not only improved Jamal Mashburn's defensive effect.

Even the team boss has fought hard, why are you so embarrassed not to fight?

The Hornets players have many defensive heroes!

For example, Magloire is one of the best defensive centers in the league right now.

For example, the Hornets point guard, Baron Davis.

Baron Davis is definitely one of the point guards Chen Xiao least wants to encounter.

This guy is tall and strong, and it’s so uncomfortable to be pressed against him!

Boss Ji patted his butt and left after being bored, leaving all these people to Chen Xiao.

After the game started, the offense of Chen Xiao and the Nets was almost destroyed by the Hornets.

After three quarters, the Nets scored 51 points!

Three quarters!

After three quarters, he aggressively charged the 72-win Nets and scored 51 points!

The third quarter was especially miserable. The Nets' shooting percentage in the third quarter was 3 of 16. Except for Chen Xiao, who hit 3 of 9 and hit three goals, everyone else missed all their shots, 0 of 7.

Chen Xiao scored 9 of the Nets' 11 points in the third quarter.

Of course, the Hornets' fierce defense in the first three quarters was not without cost. After the Hornets' first three quarters, Magloire and Baron Davis committed five fouls.

This is very uncomfortable.

In the final battle of the fourth quarter, the Hornets did not dare to play Baron Davis and Magloire at the beginning, and they did not dare to defend so fiercely.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, the Nets showed their offensive status in this game.

In the fourth quarter, the Nets scored 36 points in a single quarter. In the end, they defeated the Hornets with a score of 87-78 on the road.

In this blacksmithing war caused by Boss Ji's boredom.

Chen Xiao made 14 of 33 in the game, 6 of 16 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 39 points in the game.

"Boss Ji, your mouth is so happy in this game, my hand is about to be broken!"

"Boss, I also think what Chen said is right. Sometimes you really need to control your mouth. Although Chen can throw it, we can't use Chen out!"

Uh-huh, that's it!

Richard Jefferson had a rare human word.

After the game, Boss Ji looked a little embarrassed when faced with Chen Xiao's resentment.

Of course, with Boss Ji being treated like this by his sister-in-law at home, he no longer has much fun.

Such boringness can be regarded as one of his few hobbies.

The Nets, who defeated the Hornets to win 66 games this season, continue their road trip.

On April 6, the Nets came to Toronto as a guest.

In this game with the Raptors, the Nets won much easier.

The Raptors rested Carter like crazy this season. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the Raptors were making a desperate bid for the 2003 draft.

Many rumors have been circulating that if the Raptors don't bring a good enough helper for Carter this year, Carter will leave the Raptors.

And will leave at all costs.

In fact, in another time and space in history, Carter left the Raptors in a very drastic way.

He did not work hard, deliberately ruined his data to reduce his trade value, and forced the team to trade him. In the end, he forced the Raptors to trade him, and they did it for a bargaining chip that was far lower than his value.

In another time and space in history, because the two sides did not communicate well, it ended up being ugly.

This time, due to the rapid rise of the Nets, communication between the two parties was smooth.

If you can't bring me help, I will pursue my dream and you will rebuild, so that we can get together and part ways.

The Raptors are unwilling to lose Carter, but in the game between the team and the super giant, the team will always suffer in the end.

Super giants have absolute initiative in the NBA.

Going back to the game between the Nets and the Raptors, the Raptors definitely don't want to win this game.

The Raptors' current record is 16 wins and 60 losses, and it is impossible to be last in the league.

Even the Cavaliers have now given up competing with the Heat for last place.

However, the lower the ranking, the higher the probability of the No. 1 pick. If the last one is not enough, then the second to last one!

The Raptors had no resistance against the Nets, but Chen Xiao's touch was not very good tonight.

Logically speaking, Chen Xiao should get a lot of points in this game, but it's a pity that his hand feels average.

So in the end, the Nets defeated the Raptors 96-87.

Chen Xiao only made 10 of 21 and scored 'only' 27 points in the game.

After defeating the Raptors, Chen Xiao did not return to New Jersey or go to Atlanta, the next away game.

Instead, he went directly to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Because Chen Xiao received an official invitation from the NCAA, inviting Chen Xiao to watch the NCAA finals live.

By the way, this year's NCAA finals, the game between Syracuse University and the University of Kansas, is really quite popular.

The two teams are similar in strength, and then there are two NCAA 'super giants' in Carmelo Anthony and Nick Collison.

Therefore, this game is of great concern.

Everyone from the Nets players wants to be there.

However, even NBA players may not be able to get tickets to the NCAA finals.

It has to be said that Chen Xiao's status as NCAA champion and MOP has shown his power at this time.

In the envy of Nets players, Chen Xiao left the team and went to New Orleans.

After Chen Xiao came to New Orleans, he met several good friends.

LeBron James, Chris Paul.

The two also came to cheer for Anthony.

But it is different from Chen Xiao being officially invited by the NCAA.

James and Paul were invited by Anthony.

In addition to James and Paul, Chen Xiao also met many NBA acquaintances here.

For example, Heat general manager Pat Riley.

The general manager of the Heat is obviously here to inspect the most watched player in the game between Syracuse University and the University of Kansas, Carmelo Anthony.

at the Louisiana Superdome.

After Chen Xiao, Paul, and James entered the arena, they separated.

The three seats are not in the same place.

At the beginning of the game, as a player officially invited by the NCAA and last year's championship and MOP, Chen Xiao was invited by the host to come off the court for an interview.

The more than 70,000 spectators at the scene burst into warm applause after seeing Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao has not achieved much in the NBA yet.

But in the NCAA, Chen Xiao's achievements are still very high.

The "Goudengsiri" combination of Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard is considered to be the most powerful "freshman combination" in the history of the NCAA.

As the representative of the strongest rookie group, Chen Xiao has always been very popular among NCAA fans.

Of course, after last year's strongest freshman group, this year's NCAA ushered in the strongest newcomers.

Anthony, who led Syracuse University to the NCAA finals this season, is considered a candidate for the strongest freshman in the history of the NCAA.

As long as he can beat the University of Kansas in this game, Anthony will be able to claim this title.

Let the representatives of the NCAA's strongest freshman group inspire the NCAA's strongest newcomers.

I have to say that NCAA officials are still very particular.

It can be seen that in this game, the NCAA officially recommends Carmelo Anthony and Syracuse University.

"Mello, come on, win the championship, go grab LeBron's No. 1 pick, go to Miami and give up Cleveland to LeBron, haha."

Anthony, who was hugging Chen Xiao before the game, his eyes lit up when he heard Chen Xiao say this.

That's right!

Be the No. 1 pick and go to the Heat. The Heat are better than Cleveland!

Besides LeBron, who among serious Americans would want to go to Cleveland!

"Chen, just watch from the sidelines. Uncle Melo is going to show off his power in this game, hahahaha!"

Since the NCAA officials came to Chen Xiao to motivate Anthony, of course Chen Xiao must do this job well.

Yeah, Anthony was very motivated by him.

However, when the Kansas player next to him saw Anthony laughing with Chen Xiao and his arms akimbo, the look on his face was not very good.

Wonder boy!

Anthony was already very strong, but now that the Wonder Boy was messing with him, it would be even more difficult.

In the last semifinals game, Anthony shot 12 of 19 against the University of Texas, scoring 33 points, 14 rebounds and 3 steals to single-handedly defeat the University of Texas, which shocked the United States.

You know, in this semifinal, the whole country saw it. Anthony didn't try his best, and the University of Texas fell.

The entire NCAA doesn't know how strong Anthony is, and the whole country is very curious.

After the opening interaction between Chen Xiao and Anthony, the game between Syracuse University and the University of Kansas officially began.

After the game started, Anthony, who was inspired by Chen Xiao, was very aggressive from the beginning.

Judging from the game manual in hand, the University of Kansas is stronger overall, but Syracuse University has Anthony.

The outcome of this game was very close.

However, after the game started, the situation did not seem to be evenly matched.

Because, in the first quarter, Syracuse University led Kansas by 11 points, 53-42.

The NCAA only has two quarters. In 20 minutes of half quarter, they can actually score 53 points. This is a high score in the NCAA.

Kansas is the strongest defensive team in the NCAA this season!

"Ignore defense, Carmelo Anthony simply ignores defense in the NCAA!"

Many former NCAA MOPs next to Chen Xiao were shocked.

A team with such a good defense was actually beaten by Anthony by 20 points in the half.

I have to say that Anthony in this game really has a bit of his NBA style.

Why do you say a little bit?

Of course it was because of Anthony's breakthrough that he didn't.

Kansas was defeated by Syracuse University as soon as they came up. This was something many people didn't expect.

Although the Kansas players were desperately chasing points in the second half, the gap in the first half was too big.

In the end, Syracuse University defeated the University of Kansas with a score of 91 to 78.

In this game, Anthony once again scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, once again dominating the game.

Of course, I also got the NCAA MOP in this section.

Looking at Anthony holding the MOP trophy high in the middle of the court, Chen Xiao was also happy for his good friend.

"Mello, welcome to the NBA!"

Now, Chen Xiao can finally say this to Anthony, James and Paul.

He, Chen Xiao, is now the senior!
