I’m Really Playing Basketball

After watching the NCAA finals between Syracuse University and the University of Kansas, Chen Xiao said goodbye to Anthony and James Paul and flew from New Orleans to Atlanta overnight.

But before the plane took off, the league announced the Player of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conferences last week.

On the Western side, O'Neal led the team to 4 wins and 0 losses, averaging 33 points, 13 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, and Kobe Bryant averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

For the first time this season, the KO team shared the honor of the best of the week.

After the OK combination was reorganized into the KO combination, the visible combat effectiveness of Kobe and O'Neal's Lakers skyrocketed.

Now Kobe and O'Neal really belong to God for God, and belong to Satan for Satan.

Both men perform their duties.

O'Neal is in charge of the basket, and Kobe is in charge of the perimeter. The two work together very well.

The Lakers' strength and record are also rising.

Originally, after the All-Star Game, the Lakers' record was not among the playoffs. Now, the Lakers have reached the top four in the Western Conference.

It has to be said that at the end of the regular season, the complete integration of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal of the Lakers really made the entire league tremble.

The Western Conference's Best of the Week went to KO, while in the Eastern Conference, Chen Xiao defeated teammate Kidd to win the Best of the Week.

Chen Xiao has led the Nets to three wins in the past three games. In the three games, Chen Xiao averaged 32 points and 4 rebounds per game. Although the data is not as explosive as Kobe Bryant and O'Neal in the West, it is enough in the East, a three-point land. It deserves the honor of being the best of the week.

After winning the Weekly Award, Chen Xiao was awarded another D-level potential card.

There is no doubt that this D-level potential card has a blocking attribute.

After throwing this D-level potential card into the blocking attribute, Chen Xiao's blocking attribute also increased from 65 to 70.

Chen Xiao's current blocking attribute is 70, his marking attribute is also 70, plus 80 jumping, 70 defensive running and 85 explosive power.

Chen Xiao's ability to assist defense in a certain atmosphere is very good.

Of course, because Chen Xiao's current speed is only 70, his large-scale assist defense is not enough.

But blocking opponents' shots in a small area is definitely a pretty good level.

At the very least, his fight-and-retreat defense should be stronger.

His fight-and-retreat defense is to transform single defense into a small-scale assist defense, leaving a certain amount of space, and using his long hands, feet and height to block shots.

This kind of defense has higher requirements for blocking than for stealing.

On April 8, 2003, Chen Xiao returned to Atlanta.

But April 8th is not a game between the Nets and the Hawks.

Because Chen Xiao participated in the NCAA finals, the team gave Chen Xiao a day off.

On April 8, Chen Xiao can move freely in Atlanta and does not need to participate in team training.

Although the team did not allow Chen Xiao to participate in team training.

But Chen Xiao will not really move freely.

Chen Xiao has always felt that he is a very hard-working player.

Chen Xiao's current confrontation training has reached the last muscle, the abdominal muscles.

According to Eddie Jordan, he can practice the abdominal muscle awakening and confrontation attributes at any time. In this case, Chen Xiao is now simply a master of physical training.

Every time the team has a holiday, Chen Xiao spends it in crazy training.

Chen Xiao's current bone density, muscle density, and ligament strength have been systematically modified to be very strong, making it difficult to get injured.

This allows Chen Xiao to train for a longer period of time and with greater intensity when practicing physical training and confrontation.

According to Eddie Jordan, he has never seen a player who has not completed confrontation training and can do six sets of sit-ups a day as soon as he gets started.

They all start with four sets of sit-ups.

Chen Xiao started from the sixth group.

In this case, Chen Xiao's confrontation training must be completed in advance.

As for how far ahead it is, Eddie Jordan doesn't even know.

According to Eddie Jordan's guess, Chen Xiao will definitely be able to complete the confrontation training before the playoffs begin.

This is quite comfortable.

According to Boss Ji and many people, the playoffs and the regular season are simply not the same competition. Chen Xiao is quite nervous about the playoffs.

Although according to the strength of the Nets, there is no problem in the Eastern Conference, but his teammates are playing very well and he is very good. Will he be embarrassed?

As the saying goes, hard work can create miracles, and hard work can achieve greatness!

Well, to put it simply, the clown must not be himself!

Wednesday, April 9, 2003, Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

This arena is Chen Xiao’s blessed place and also the Nets’ blessed place.

At Phillips Arena, Chen Xiao, Richard Jefferson, and Martin all achieved zero All-Star breakthroughs.

All three were All-Stars in this arena.

For Chen Xiao, this place is especially happy.

Because in this arena, Chen Xiao also received some of his most important honors in the NBA.

Won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the champion of the three-point shooting contest, and the MVP of the All-Star Game.

It is precisely because of these three honors that Chen Xiao directly surpassed Dayao in China and became the number one Chinese star in the NBA.

Before the All-Star Weekend, the agent teams of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming were fighting openly and secretly. Their reputations in the country were evenly matched, so they had to compete for resources.

But after the All-Star Weekend, Dayao will have to use what is left of Chen Xiao.

Of course, it cannot be said that all the leftovers were caused by Chen Xiao, but most of them were because Chen Xiao did not have time or Chen Xiao was unwilling, so he went to find Dayao.

Of course, Chen Xiao's requirements are very high, and he doesn't accept all casual jobs, so Chen Xiao actually doesn't hinder Dayao from making money.

Including the sneaker contract, Dayao earns more than Chen Xiao.

The sneaker contract between Chen Xiao and Nike has not yet been finalized.

Of course, it's almost there.

On the night of April 9th, the game between the Nets and the Hawks, the outcome of this game has nothing to do with the playoff rankings or the Hawks' playoff prospects this season.

The Eagles' current record is 30 wins and 47 losses. This record is very uncomfortable. They will definitely not be able to enter the playoffs. However, they cannot get the No. 1 pick, and there are basically no high-ranking draft picks.

Therefore, the remaining games of the Eagles made this team quite embarrassed.

The next game didn't seem to mean anything to the Eagles.

Although the remaining games of the Eagles season have little meaning for the Eagles.

But it still makes sense to the Eagles players.

For example, if Jason Terry wants to sign a big contract, the remaining games of the Hawks will be of great significance.

Before the game against the Hawks, Terry went out of his way to find a relationship with Chen Xiaola.

That means...

"Brother, I didn't have a choice before. Now, I just want data. Can you be accommodating?"

"Okay, go to Brother Ji and tell him. If Brother Ji doesn't scold me, I will be accommodating."

"Then you want me to die!"

"I'm sorry, after the whistle blew, I just wanted you to die!"

"..."

Hmm, that's probably it.

Terry is so arrogant. He dares to mention such a thing to Chen Xiao in front of Boss Ji.

Does Chen Xiao dare?

Of course not!

And it can’t be!

Although we are all brothers, I can't stab my teammates for the sake of my brothers!

Really, no choice.

Terry was very resentful when he left, but it's understandable.

Originally, he actually had no hope.

Terry still knew Chen Xiao very well.

Although this good brother of mine is usually rough, he has principles and a sense of justice.

This is also the reason why he is willing to be a brother with Chen Xiao and respects Chen Xiao.

It’s definitely more than just strength and origin.

Terry couldn't get through the back door with Chen Xiao.

Of course it can only be done hard!

Although judging from the past few games with the Nets, his hard work against the Nets ended badly.

But no matter how miserable the ending is, I can only roll up my sleeves and go straight to it. Otherwise, surrender?

What if I throw it accurately tonight and eat dumplings?

If you don’t do it, there will be nothing. If you do it, there will still be a chance!

Not to mention, Terry's touch was really good tonight.

Especially the touch outside the three-point line.

Because Chen Xiao's arms are too long and too restrained for him.

When Terry meets Chen Xiao now, he actually doesn't dare to shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.

So Terry didn't take many shots from beyond the three-point line in this game. He only took 4 shots in the game, but he hit three times. This is quite accurate.

In addition to three-pointers, Terry's mid-range shots that took one step ahead of Chen Xiao were also good. Terry made 10 of 18 in the game. Finally, when facing Chen Xiao's defense, Terry achieved a shooting rate of more than 50%. The 24 points scored also created a scoring record for him when he met Chen Xiao.

It's different from Terry, who has a good touch in this game.

Chen Xiao's touch in this game was quite average.

He made 9 of 20 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 27 points in the game.

This is facing Terry!

This is facing an Eagle who doesn't have that high level of tactical literacy!

In this game, Chen Xiao needs to improve his scoring average.

But in this game with the Hawks and in the last game with the Raptors, Chen Xiao missed both of these two games that could improve his statistics.

Moreover, in the two games against the Raptors and the Hawks, Chen Xiao scored 27 points, which is Chen Xiao's average score this season. This is also a coincidence.

"Chen, you see, even without your help, I can still play well in this game!"

Well, they did play very well. Under the leadership of Terry, the Hawks lost to the Nets 99-102 in this game.

Although the game was lost.

But only lost 3 points.

Before this game started, who would have thought that the Eagles would only lose three points.

Therefore, it is understandable that Terry was so proud after the game.

Although they lost, this is the Nets, the first in the league and about to win 70 games!

Defeating the Hawks, the Nets' record became 68 wins and 10 losses, only two games away from 70 wins.

On April 11, the Nets continued to visit and came to the territory of another underdog in the East, the Chicago Bulls.

In the entire league, if the Knicks are the team with the most reason to prevent the Nets from winning 72 games, then the team with the second most reason is definitely the Chicago Bulls.

After all, before this season, the Bulls were the only team with 70 wins in the entire NBA.

Now, seeing that the Nets are about to become the second team, and have the same 72 wins as the Bulls, the Bulls are of course unwilling.

Although the Bulls are very weak and cannot defeat the Nets, no matter what they do, they cannot defeat the Nets.

But whether you can defeat it is one thing, and whether you are willing to do it is another.

In this game, the Bulls will definitely go all out.

Of course it's good to beat the Nets. Even if they can't beat the Nets, they still have to let the fans see that they really tried their best.

However, before the game between the Bulls and the Nets started, the Bulls fans at the scene gave Chen Xiao the highest courtesy when he came on the court.

"God! God! God!"

The audience is full of cheers from God!

Chen Xiao looked up and looked aside. Not all of the fans cheering for him were Chinese or Asian.

It should be said that most of the people cheering for him are Americans, fans of the Chicago Bulls or Jordan.

Obviously, they are thanking him for giving up the starting position for Jordan in this year's All-Star Game, and leading Jordan to defeat the Western Conference in the All-Star Game, winning a perfect turn for Jordan. .

I have to say that although Jordan and Chicago's management have many conflicts, Chicago fans really love Jordan.

However, the most heartwarming moment in the game between the Bulls and Nets was when Chen Xiao came out before the game.

After the game started, Chen Xiao and the Nets saw the Bulls' determination in this game.

At the same time, after the game started, Chen Xiao and the Nets also realized that an NBA team is an NBA team, and even the Chicago Bulls have extremely powerful players.

In this game, the Bulls' two big men, Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, caused huge trouble to the Nets.

The two of them defended and attacked, suppressing the Nets' two inside players.

At the same time, the Bulls' young player Jamal Crawford, who rarely started in this game, completely exploded under Chen Xiao's defense.

"Are you really not the boss of the department and have changed your skin?!"

"..."

After the game, Chen Xiao grabbed Crawford's hand and shocked Crawford.

Crawford's performance in this game was indeed outstanding. He made 8 of 24 from the field. Various difficult scoring skills shocked Chen Xiao. In addition to scoring 24 points, he also had 7 rebounds and 8 assists. His performance was outstanding. Quite high quality.

With such a strong defense from the outside by the Nets, being able to get this data is truly Dior!

"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. Jamal, are you interested in joining our Mamba Cult?"

As a die-hard Jordan fan, joining the Mamba Cult is definitely not an option.

Who doesn’t know that Mr. Ke is now going to replace Mr. Qiao?

If it was before 2001, he would definitely not be willing to join.

but now……

It starts from when he was a rookie two years ago. Crawford, who had just arrived in Chicago, met Jordan. Jordan took him and a group of Jordan's friends to gamble. Jordan loved gambling. As Jordan's Of course he knows the fans, so it doesn't matter if he follows his idol. At Sixtyblue Casino, Crawford followed Jordan into the venue with 2,000 US dollars.

Crawford's idea at the time was that if he lost the 2,000, he would stop playing.

However, who would have thought that he was so lucky at first that he won US$10,000 from US$2,000.

Jordan told him that with such good luck, he would be too cowardly not to play big.

At that time, Crawford, who was new to the casino, got carried away and thought it was right, let’s play big!

Then……

How can there be anything else? Then, the next thing is, I will definitely lose every time I bet. After I got the upper hand, I lost 10,000 US dollars, and in the end I lost 100,000 US dollars.

Crawford came to his senses only after he lost the $100,000 he borrowed from the casino.

"I was jumped by a fairy!"

"I was killed by my idol, Michael Jordan, in collaboration with the casino!"

In the end, after Crawford paid off his new Mercedes-Benz, he never went to play with Jordan again. At the same time, he never went to a casino again.

And Jordan...

He unknowingly lost a die-hard fan.

To this day, Crawford still feels that Jordan and the casino played a pig-killing game on him.

Actually, of course not.

As a gambler, isn’t it normal to teach others about your gambling experience?

The point is, Crawford listened to it himself, which is a big problem.

Of course, ordinary people, who can resist this temptation.

From winning 2,000 to 10,000, everyone wants to keep winning.

Can't hold back.

Anyway, no matter what, there is really no way around the fact that Uncle Qiao has bankrupted his fans.

So it's understandable that Crawford has opinions about Jordan.

"I, join!"

Faced with Chen Xiao's invitation, Jamal Crawford gritted his teeth and joined the Mamba Cult.

"Good brother, from now on you will be the Eight Great Vajras of our Mamba Cult!"

"Now, I'll teach you the 'Snake Guard' that our Mamba teaches!"

Now?

"I wonder if Crawford is dissipating heat like a dog when he sticks out his tongue, haha."

"Really been waiting!"

Crawford looked at the group of reporters around him with piercing eyes, and instantly broke into a cold sweat.

Got carried away again!

Can I quit?

quit?

Of course that's not possible!

Sisi, Sisisi...

Click click click, click click click...

As the eight guardians of the Wolf King Sect, Tyson Chandler of the Bulls is very lucky.

"Tyson, don't stand there in a daze, come here, let's welcome our new partner together!"

bang bang bang!

Ouch~!

"..."

The joy in Tyson Chandler's heart disappeared in an instant.

In this game with the Bulls, Chen Xiao made 15 of 26, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 41 points, 40+ again.

At the same time, this game also helped the Nets gain a victory.

After winning this game, the Nets' record is 69 wins and 10 losses.

We are only one game away from 70 wins.

At the same time, the victory in this game was also the Nets' 16th consecutive victory.

At the same time, Chen Xiao's 41 points in this game was also Chen Xiao's sixteenth consecutive game with 20+ points.

This allowed Chen Xiao to also break his rookie record of scoring 20+ points in 15 consecutive games in his rookie season.

Of course, what makes Chen Xiao even more happy is that a new person has joined his Mamba Cult.

Jamal Crawford, a young man full of Mamba spirit, Chen Xiao is quite satisfied with.

It would be great to have him in the Mamba religion.

After defeating the Bulls on the road, the Nets returned to New Jersey with a record of 69 wins and 10 losses, and were welcomed by the entire city.

After the Nets finished their toughest schedule in March, the whole world knew that the Nets were about to complete their 70-win season.

But when the Nets really came to the doorstep of 70 wins, they still attracted the attention of the entire NBA and even the United States.

Even Duncan and Garnett, the two superstars in the Western Conference, sighed when they watched the Nets' home game against the Raptors on TV.

Both of them have worked very hard this season.

My performance is also very good.

Led by a single core, the team performed very well in the Western Conference.

Originally, with Kidd's inconsistent performance in late February and March, they felt that they had a chance to compete for the regular season MVP.

Now, when the Nets complete 70 wins, it will be time for them to completely miss the MVP.

Of course, Duncan and Garnett are also blessing and convinced that Kidd is about to win the first regular season MVP trophy of his career.

70 wins!

Who would have thought that the Nets, a team that was competing for the No. 1 pick two years ago, would have such a future?

Who would have thought that the wonder kid picked No. 7 could play so hot this season?

Now, in the eyes of many experts and media, this is all due to Kidd.

Kidd makes his teammates incredibly good.

Even Vince Carter, who was sitting on the Raptors bench at this time, thought so.

Look at Kidd who doesn't take any shots on the court, but passes the ball to his teammates and directs the traffic of his teammates.

Carter's eyes were constantly shining.

Wonder Boy can perform like this next to Kidd.

So, what about him?

Of course, Carter's thoughts were fleeting.

Now, he is still the first choice to stay with the Raptors.

It depends on whether the Raptors can win the No. 1 pick after this season.

If possible, he would certainly be more willing to be the king.

Although, Kidd's temptation is really huge.

Of course, Carter was definitely not the only one looking at Kidd at this time.

Ray Allen, Iverson, Tracy McGrady in front of the TV...

Many, many people, it should be said that most people in the NBA who think they are no worse than Chen Xiao, are all looking at Kidd hungrily at this time.

104 to 86!

The Nets easily defeated the Raptors at home and recovered their 70th victory of the season.

"Congratulations to the Nets, congratulations to Kidd, and congratulations to Wonder Boy. The New Jersey Nets became the second team in the NBA to achieve 70 wins in a season after the Chicago Bulls!"

"This is an incredible achievement!"

When the game ended, the entire Continental Arena seemed to explode.

The fans are going crazy.

Teacher Zhang, Barkley and other commentators on the sidelines were also going crazy.

Even David Stern, who came to the scene for this game from the sidelines, had an incredible look in his eyes at this time.

Really, he really didn't expect the Nets' record to be so good this season!

Even if the Eastern Conference is very good now, 70 wins cannot be achieved solely by relying on the Eastern Conference!

"Kidd..."

At this time, everyone in the United States was looking at the Nets No. 5 with his hands raised in the center of the court. At this moment, Bill Clinton seemed to be the king of the entire world, the king with a steel crown on his head!

Of course, this world does not include China.

In the whole of China, they only have one gaze, and that is Nets No. 7 behind Kidd, who also has his hands raised!

Not to mention, the scene of Chen Xiao and Boss Ji raising their hands in the air, back to back, is quite classic.

No, it should be said that twenty years later, this is also a world-famous painting that will be missed by the entire NBA and basketball world!

Famous painting title: 70 wins!

The two of them have 70 wins!
