I’m Really Playing Basketball

After maxing out his attributes, Chen Xiao turned his attention to the action skills of Jordan-style fadeaway jumpers.

The skill Jordan gave him will be the first skill he gains.

And it is a very important shooting skill.

Shooting movements are basically used in every game.

Chen Xiao's shooting action is Wade-style.

Wade-style shooting motion is very useful for a rookie like him.

But Chen Xiao didn't learn the essence, it was always just tangible.

It looks like that, but in fact Chen Xiao's Wade-style shooting does not have any skill attribute bonus, it is just a blank silver pewter tip.

In the NBA, maybe in the entire league, he is probably the only one who uses whiteboard shooting skills, right?

Every other player in the NBA is one of the best, whether it is Kobe McGrady, who has the most beautiful shot, or Marion, who is the ugliest. Their shooting movements are probably all "skilled", if they also have a system.

Of course, they don't have a system, so they're not skilled, they're superb.

However, this is normal. Even Marion has been promoting basketball for many years.

And he is just a beginner who has just played basketball systematically for two years.

However, soon, like these guys, he will also have shooting skills.

And it’s the strongest one!

90 bounce, 90 balance, 80 strength, 80 flexibility!

"Ding, the host has met the learning conditions for Jordan-style fadeaway jumpers. Are you sure you want to learn all the Jordan-style fadeaway jump techniques?"

"Sure."

Chen Xiao tapped on the virtual panel, and a large amount of knowledge about Jordan's fadeaway jumper, turnaround jumper, horseback archery and other shooting skills and postures was stuffed into Chen Xiao's mind.

Chen Xiao, who was filled with this knowledge, was also deeply surprised after being shocked.

It turns out that this Jordan-style fadeaway jumper contains so many shooting movements.

This is not just a low-post turnaround jump shot, this is a collection of shots from inside and outside the three-point line!

Chen Xiao was a little shocked after being imparted the knowledge.

Chen Xiao feels that after being taught this wave, all his shooting movements can be replaced by Jordan style!

Originally, before being taught, Chen Xiao thought that Jordan's backward movement could be used for close shots.

But now, this action can be used not only for close range, mid-range, long range, and even the three-point line!

It’s all-encompassing!

Wade's shooting motion seems ready for retirement.

Although Wade's shooting action has been with him for two years and has brought him great help, it is obvious that as his responsibilities with the Nets have become heavier, he has continued to have iron-shaking arms in regular season games. When he couldn't hit the ball, Chen Xiao knew that he really needed to change his shooting movements.

And this is why Chen Xiao is so eager to learn Jordan's shooting action.

Shooting movements with attribute bonuses are definitely not as useless as whiteboard skills.

Maybe, after learning Jordan's shooting skills, Chen Xiao can hit more irons in every game without getting hurt.

About ten minutes later...

"Ding, learning is over. Congratulations to the host for equipping the Jordan-style back-bounce action."

After a concise pop-up, Chen Xiao had an additional skill on his skill bar.

Skills: Jordan-style fadeaway jumper.

Level: S level (shooting action type)

Description: This is a fadeaway jump shot created by the historical superstar Michael Jordan. It includes all of Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper shooting moves. It is highly ornamental and practical and will be watched by all fadeaway jumper moves. The most powerful shooting action that combines performance and practicality to the extreme.

Skill level: LV2 (LV3 upgrade conditions: bounce 90, balance 90, agility 90, strength 90)

Skill effect: When the host uses this action to shoot, the host's arm and wrist wear is reduced by 20% each time it is shot, and it comes with the 'Beautiful' and 'Time Management Master' special effects.

Picturesque: When the host uses this action to shoot a ball, whether it hits or not, it will give the audience a pleasing sense of satisfaction. At the same time, when the shot hits, the opponent's psychological shock value will be +20%. If the host hits 2 consecutive times, the psychological shock value will increase. +40%, three times, 60%, and so on. When striking, the shock effect returns to zero and the calculation starts again.

Time management master: This shooting action perfectly combines the four attributes of bounce, balance, flexibility, strength and arm span, palm length and width. When you use this shooting action, you have extremely high jumping height and extremely fast bounce. With your speed, excellent balance, flexibility, core strength and those big hands that can control everything, you can make any incredible dodge and move in the air to avoid blocks, your shooting resistance to interference is +50%, and it will produce your A visual illusion effect where the air seems to be 'still'.

Jordan style fadeaway jumper!

After Chen Xiao read this skill from beginning to end, the expression on his face was very pleasant.

Once he got started with this skill, he actually reached the LV2 level!

"It seems that I was right in choosing to add bounce before. A bounce of 90 is the condition for this skill to be upgraded to LV2. The next condition for improving this skill is that the strength and agility reach 90."

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao also had some insights.

It's easy to reach 90 flexibly, as long as he has enough potential cards and professional skill points, he can go up.

Only strength takes time to wait.

Chen Xiao tried it, 80 to 90 strength, adding a little more is best for half a month.

This is also the reason why Chen Xiao didn't give potential cards and skill points to strength.

Chen Xiao has just increased his strength to 80, and the next increase will be in half a month. By that time, the regular season awards will probably have been announced, and Chen Xiao will have a bunch of potential cards again.

At that time, those potential cards are just right for power to use.

So, looking at it this way, next season, Chen Xiao's shooting skill can be upgraded to LV3.

However, even for LV2 level skills, the effect of this skill is already quite powerful.

For example, the general effect of this skill is to reduce the wrist and arm consumption of each shot by 20%, which is quite a Dior effect.

The biggest problem with Chen Xiao using the whiteboard version of Wade's skill is that his arms and wrists get tired of shooting. After that, the stability of his shooting is greatly reduced. After the exhaustion of his arms and wrists reaches the limit, he even No matter how high the shooting attribute is, basically throwing the ball is like hitting the iron.

Obviously Chen Xiao's physical fitness is sufficient, but the situation of constantly hammering just because his arms and wrists are tired really makes Chen Xiao helpless.

He had thought about solving this problem, but in the end there was no way to solve it.

Even if Chen Xiao adds strength and confrontation, to be honest, the effect is very limited.

Now, he realized that it was his posture that was wrong!

His whiteboard skill did not reduce the Buff consumption of his arms and wrists!

"Reducing consumption by 20%, this is still LV2 level, this is too strong!"

Chen Xiao can be sure that by using this skill to shoot, his shooting stability will be greatly increased during the game, especially after 20 shots!

In the NBA, within 20 shots, there are many outsiders who have a better shooting percentage than Kobe.

But after taking more than 20 shots, not many have a better shooting percentage than Kobe.

This may be because Kobe's shooting action has a strong effect in reducing the consumption of shooting on the arms and wrists.

And in what aspects of scoring is this effect of reducing arm and wrist consumption reflected?

Explosive scoring of course!

Other players can only maintain stability for 20 shots.

And if you can maintain stability for 25 shots or even 30 shots, your scoring explosiveness will naturally be stronger.

Of course, if it is not accurate, blacksmithing will be very explosive.

But overall, the effect of this skill is positive, which will give Chen Xiao a stronger ability to change his destiny!

"Maybe my scoring ceiling has been raised from 50 points to 60 points now."

Chen Xiao thought happily in his heart that if he met a suitable opponent, maybe he would be able to score 60 points in the game now.

The general skill of Jordan's fadeaway jumper is very effective, and Chen Xiao is very satisfied.

Moreover, in addition to the ordinary regular effects, this skill also has two special effects. The picturesque special effect allows Chen Xiao to have a very strong ability to attract fans like Kobe and Tracy McGrady even when he is blacksmithing. At the same time, If it hits, and hits continuously, it can stun the opponent.

Don't underestimate the effect of shocking your opponent, it is a very useful effect.

For example, in the NBA, if a team wants to let you play in singles and cut off your contact with your teammates, even if you continue to score in singles, your opponent will remain unmoved and still not double-team you.

But for some players, such as Jordan and Kobe, even if they hit one shot in isolation, their opponents may not be able to bear it and double-team them.

Facing the opponent's double-team, our team continued to fight one on two, one on three, one on four, one on five, and continued to intimidate.

As for Jordan, Boss Joe faced a double attack and launched the triangle attack to create opportunities for his teammates, which also caused damage to the opponent on the other hand.

Yes, this deterrent effect has strategic significance in tactics!

It’s equivalent to the magical skill of drawing hatred in the game!

Especially for players with very good passing keys, such as Jordan, this shock effect is really powerful, allowing him to fly the triangle offense.

Pull aggro, fly a kite, and kill your opponent with a triangle attack!

but……

This effect was a bit embarrassing for Chen Xiao.

Boss Ke has dug the pass button.

As for Chen Xiao, there is no passing key at all.

Therefore, Jordan's intimidating effect will not make Chen Xiao look like Jordan, but will make Chen Xiao look like his idol Kobe.

This deterrent effect is extremely capable of attracting double-teams. After attracting double-teams, Chen Xiao will be like his idol Kobe, one on two, one on three, even one on four, one on five...

Therefore, for Chen Xiao, who does not have a pass button, this special effect is quite confusing for him now.

The effect is good, but it can only have a negative impact on Chen Xiao for the time being.

Of course, once Chen Xiao installs the pass button from Boss Ji, the effect will be amazing!

In addition, another special effect, the master of time management, is also incredible. This is the source of Jordan's terrifying feeling of being stuck in the air!

With a 50% anti-interference ability and the ability to perform various actions in the air as if time has stopped, when Chen Xiao uses this move to shoot, he can basically ignore a single player's block on him.

Even if there are two or three players guarding him, he can still throw the basketball in his hand with ease!

This special effect is used in conjunction with the picturesque shock effect, and the edible effect is extremely good.

A picturesque shock effect. It doesn’t matter if you don’t pass the ball after the shock. Just use this ‘time-stop’ special effect to do one-two, one-three, or even one-four-one-five!

These two special effects are matching!

One is to attract double-teams, and the other is to dry double-teams.

It’s simply a perfect match for ‘toxic’ players!

Chen Xiao was understanding the long-awaited Jordan purple skill he had recently acquired.

The more he understands, the more Chen Xiao feels that this skill is powerful.

"This is the perfect shooting skill for a scorer!"

Beautiful, practical, all in one.

Not to mention beautiful.

Practical, that's really practical.

Whether you want to be a bad guy or a team player, this is a perfect skill.

When you are a cancer, you can use this skill to get 100 points!

No joke, if this skill is upgraded to a sufficient level, the wear and tear on the arms and wrists will be reduced even more. Coupled with the time stop, there is definitely a chance to hit 80 points, 90 points or even 100 points!

If you want to be a team player, with the intimidation effect, after attracting double-teams, you can play triangle offense like Jordan, or attack the ball, then you are a player with his own tactical system!

Perfect!

It's really perfect!

Chen Xiao is really more and more satisfied with Jordan's shooting skills!

After acquiring Jordan's shooting skills, Chen Xiao was immersed in great joy.

At this time, with the end of the regular season, public opinion across the NBA is also focusing on the summary of the regular season and the outlook for the playoffs.

The comparison between the Nets and Bulls has brought huge traffic to the NBA.

All I can say is that this season is truly magical.

Not only the Nets' record is amazing, but the performance of many NBA players this season is also amazing.

For example, this year's three rookies.

Not to mention Chen Xiao's average of 27.23 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per game.

It's explosive. He is a rookie who averaged more than 25 points per game in his second season after Jordan. He is a player who scored 2,000 points in his first season after Jordan. He is also the first player in NBA history to hit 300 three-pointers in a single season.

Hitting 300 three-pointers in a single season with a 40% shooting rate is really incredible.

In addition to Chen Xiao, Wade also averaged more than 20 points per game this year.

The two rookie players averaged 20+ points per game. The last time this happened was in 1992, the year of O'Neal and Mourning.

You must know that 1992 is recognized as a big year for the draft.

In 2002, he was recognized as the Mavericks draft pick!

Of course, after this regular season is over, I'm afraid no one will ever say that the 2002 draft was a bad year.

Except for Chen Xiao and Wade, two players with explosive scoring statistics.

Yao Ming's scoring data is not high, but he averages 15+9+2 blocks per game. Coupled with his technical ability and height, Yao Ming's evaluation is not even worse than Wade, higher than Chen Xiao, and he still has a future.

Well, this year's Rookie of the Year should be none other than Chen Xiao.

But Chen Xiao's future is still somewhat doubtful.

Whether Chen Xiao is at his peak after his debut or whether he will get better and better in the future, Chen Xiao is somewhat confusing to experts across the NBA.

But overall, this season's NBA rookies are really amazing.

In addition to these magical rookies, this year's NBA leaders also performed quite well.

For example, McGrady averaged 32.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game this season. The Magic leader not only won the scoring title this season, but his All-Star performance and efficiency even made many experts believe that he is worthy of the scoring title. Comparable to Jordan during the first Triple Crown.

Moreover, McGrady is not the only one who scored 30 in this year's scoring list. Kobe and Iverson also both scored 30+.

Three players averaging 30+ per game in one season are rare in NBA history.

Chen Xiao ranked fifth in the NBA with an average of 27.3 points per game, below McGrady, Iverson, Kobe, and O'Neal.

In addition, Kidd is the assist king this season. Kidd’s average assists per game this season is 15.8. This number of assists also allowed Kidd to surpass Stockton in the 1989-90 season and become the average in NBA history. The assist king with the highest number of assists.

Stockton's average of 14.5 assists per game in the original season was considered one of the data that could not be broken.

Of course, this season, Ji Boss not only broke an impossible statistic, the 30 assists in a single game were also broken by Ji Boss.

It can be said that this season, the boss has redefined the new benchmark of traditional NBA point guards.

In the past, the benchmark for traditional point guards in the NBA was Stockton, but now it has become Kidd.

In addition, this year's blocking list is also quite amazing. Ratliff, Ben Wallace, and Duncan have three players averaging 3 blocks per game this year.

This is also quite rare.

In short, this year's NBA is absolutely rare in history in terms of excitement.

Kobe's 10 consecutive games with 40+ points, Chen Xiao's rookie's 18 consecutive games with 20+ points, 9 buzzer beaters in a single season, Tracy McGrady's 18 games average of 39.5, and the various surprises of the three power forwards of Garnett, Duncan and Webber. For Tianren's all-around statistics, Kidd's organizational performance that counts assists as points, etc.

There is no doubt that this season's NBA regular season can definitely enter the history of the NBA in the future.

So, in this season that can enter NBA history, who will be the final winner?

There are now 15 teams in the East and 14 teams in the West.

Let’s first talk about the 16 playoff teams in the East and West.

The first place in the Eastern Conference this season is the Nets with 72 wins and 10 losses.

The second to eighth places are the Pistons, Pacers, 76ers, Hornets, Bucks, Magic, and Celtics.

On the Western side, first to eighth are the Kings, Mavericks, Spurs, Timberwolves, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Suns.

As the playoffs are about to begin, most experts across the country are more optimistic about the 72-win Nets.

But the KO combination of Lakers and Kings.

The Nets ranked third.

The three most popular teams are ranked at the bottom. This is indeed a bit miserable for the Nets, a newly promoted 72-win team.

However, this is understandable. It's not like the Nets have never appeared in the finals. They really lost miserably against the Lakers last year.

This will make people feel that the Nets cannot beat the Lakers.

It’s not enough to beat the Lakers, but is it enough to beat the Kings?

This season the Nets played against the Kings and were humiliatingly defeated by the Kings.

Therefore, as long as the Lakers and Kings reach the finals, the Nets will have nothing to do.

Unless there's an upset in the West.

Is an upset possible in the West?

Of course it is possible. The Western Conference as a whole is very strong, so of course it is possible.

Especially the Spurs.

However, after Bowen was retired for the season...

That’s why Rodman said: “Congratulations to the Lakers for winning the championship!”

The playoffs haven't even started yet, and the Lakers won the championship early.

Moreover, let alone the championship.

Some teams that look down on the Nets even think that the Nets can't even get past the Celtics and will be beaten by the Celtics in the first round!

Why do these experts think so badly of the Nets?

Well, let's look at the Nets' performance in March and April.

After the Celtics devised the tactic against the Nets, the Nets never got over this tactic.

No kidding, the Nets before March and the Nets after March are really two different teams.

For the Nets after March, the game was difficult!

Although the Nets are a 72-win team, it is incredible to be underestimated by experts to this extent.

In addition to the top eight teams in the East and West, the rankings of the following teams are.

In the East, ninth to fifteenth are the Wizards, Knicks, Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Cavaliers, and Heat.

In the West, ninth to fourteenth are the Rockets, SuperSonics, Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers, and Nuggets.

Among them, the last team in the league is the Miami Heat with 15 wins and 67 losses.

No one has this record with the Heat.

Obviously he is not that good in terms of strength, but he was tricked into being like this by the alliance.

Of course, if the Heat can draw the No. 1 pick by the way and get the chosen one, LeBron James, then the tragedy may turn into happiness.

Well, this is how Chen Xiao comforted his two good friends from the Heat who have now come to his home.

After the regular season, Wade and Yao Ming had no playoffs to play in, but they were extremely hungry for the playoffs and wanted to experience the atmosphere of the playoffs up close.

Indeed, in this era, there is always a saying in the NBA. For example, the playoffs are the stage for superstars. If you have not shined in the playoffs, you are not a superstar.

The playoffs and the regular season are two completely different game modes.

This is true in this day and age.

Because the current NBA rules can still be used when defending.

Referees in the playoffs generally play loose.

This really tests the quality of the players.

Many players who were dominant in the regular season might just collapse when they come to the playoffs.

And there are not a few players who have collapsed.

A few collapse every year.

For example, this year’s most popular ‘crash player’ is...

Well, no more telling, it’s Chen Xiao.

"Chen, don't be too happy. If 72 wins and is hacked in the first round, you will be much worse off than us!"

72 wins, black eight in the first round?

Xiaotai, what kind of science fiction stories are you thinking about in your big-cheeked head?

Although, it seems that many people are saying this...

Even if what you say makes sense, but!

"The me I am now is no longer the me I used to be!"

Chen Xiao's big eyes filled with confidence made Wade and Yao Ming look sideways.

This confidence is okay!
