I’m Really Playing Basketball

Since he started playing basketball, Chen Xiao has participated in many post-game press conferences, but any press conference Chen Xiao has participated in before was not as tiring as this post-game press conference in the finals.

The enthusiasm of these Chinese and foreign reporters is really incredible. Dealing with these people is much harder than playing iron on the court with Mr. Ke.

I have to say that the NBA Finals are different, and the Los Angeles Lakers are different. The biggest scene encounters the biggest traffic, and it is so exhausting.

However, what makes Chen Xiao a little relieved is that the rewards from such a competition are really great!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for scoring more than 30 points in the final of an A-level official competition for the first time. He will be awarded 3 career points and 2cm in height and wingspan."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing 8 blocks in an A-level official game and achieving the achievement 'covering the sky with one hand'. The host will be rewarded with 5 shot-blocking experience cards (official game), a wingspan of 3 centimeters, and a career value of 1,200."

In his first finals game, he scored 30+ points and then blocked 8 shots. These two statistics rewarded Chen Xiao after he finished the game.

There are rewards for scoring 30 or 40 points in the finals of various levels of competition for the first time. Chen Xiao knew this well before. After all, Chen Xiao has played in many finals.

What surprised Chen Xiao the most was the reward for eight blocks in this game.

The last time Chen Xiao got a block reward was in the game against Jordan in the regular season. He made a bet with Jordan. Jordan leaned back crazily and was risked by him 7 times, allowing him to complete the block in a B-level game. The achievement of "Shielding the Wind and Rain" rewarded him with 3 shot-blocking experience cards.

These three block experience cards also helped Chen Xiao give O'Neal a hot pot feast in this game.

To be honest, in this game with the Lakers, in order to "humiliate the shark", Chen Xiao used three block experience cards at once. To be honest, it made Chen Xiao feel bad.

However, now, seeing this reward, Chen Xiao felt happy instantly.

"Three for five, this deal is worth it!"

"A-level competitions are A-level competitions. The rewards are really rich!"

Therefore, in the A-level competition, don’t be reluctant to let go of your children. You can’t trap the wolf!

So the question is, this kid with three shot-blocking experience cards brought Chen Xiao a wolf with five shot-blocking experience cards. So if you throw out these kids with five shot-blocking experience cards, what kind of wolf can you catch?

To be honest, Chen Xiao is quite looking forward to it.

"This ferocious beast's right hand is already extremely thirsty!"

Just when Chen Xiao blinked his big eyes and shook his right hand, O'Neal couldn't help but sneeze and tremble when he returned to the hotel.

"Which beautiful woman misses Uncle Shark again?"

"It's a pity that I'm too tired tonight, and Uncle Shark really can't kill..."

The 300-pound fat man lay down on the bed and started snoring.

This game is so tiring, physically and mentally!

Back to Chen Xiao.

After putting away the five shot-blocking experience cards, Chen Xiao turned his attention to the five skill points accumulated.

You can add some more.

Chen Xiao looked over and over at the attributes of passing and marking.

In the end, it was decided to add these five points to man-marking.

Passing 85 is enough for Chen Xiao, a non-organizer of the team.

His passing does not need to be as organized as Kidd's. His passing is more about passing the ball. If it is just passing the ball, 85 is more than enough.

If it is organized like Kidd, to be honest, Chen Xiao's 90 passing may not be enough, and there is no need to steal the ball from Kidd.

Therefore, compared to passing the ball, the attribute of marking is more important!

Thinking of Boss Ji's defense against Boss Ke, Chen Xiao became jealous.

Don't look at the 40 points scored by Ke Lao in this game, but Ke Lao's defense is really good!

No matter how well Brother Ke shows up, he can't get rid of Boss Ji's defense. Boss Ke singles out Boss Ji, and in the end, no matter how he shows off, he has to throw against Boss Ji.

This is the benefit of the powerful attribute of marking!

The higher the man-marking attribute, the stronger the ability to judge the opponent's offense. Whether it is single defense or assisted defense, the man-marking attribute is very important.

After throwing five skill points into the marking attribute, Chen Xiao's marking attribute also became 90.

The 90% man-marking attribute combined with his height, wingspan, explosiveness and confrontation, haha, the Lakers can be surprised in the next game.

Not long after adding points, Chen Xiao was called out by good friends such as Wade and Yao Ming. His outstanding performance in the finals caused a sensation all over the world, and he defeated the invincible KO Lakers. Let me tell you, Chen Xiao is now It was truly a 'fame'!

This fame is different from the kind of fame Chen Xiao had before!

It can be said that after the game, Wade and Yao Ming were more excited than Chen Xiao.

After the Nets relatively easily defeated the Lakers in G1 of the Finals, not only the NBA, but also the entire basketball world fell into this storm. For a while, anyone who paid attention to sports was paying attention to the Nets and Lakers. In the finals, everyone was discussing what happened in this game.

In particular, in the first round of the game, Chen Xiao blocked O'Neal five shots in a row, which directly scared O'Neal. This incident became the hottest topic among viewers across the United States.

"My true eyes of the Wolf King tell me that it is this hand that blocks Shaquille O'Neal!"

Chen Xiao's famous words in this game once again aroused the imitation of American middle school boys under the age of 15.

To be honest, on the stage of the finals, facing the king of the finals with Joe choosing Joe and not Joe choosing Shark, he took five risks in one round. This is the real Dior.

This person is O'Neal!

When had O'Neal been treated like this in the Finals?

No wonder O'Neal gave up in the end.

Who in general is not a coward?

Especially the fifth scene where Chamberlain-like interception of O'Neal in the air will become an eternal masterpiece and classic in the basketball world.

On the American side, after the game, everyone's focus was on Chen Xiao's performance on the court and his ridicule of Nets general manager Rod Thorn and Carter.

On the Chinese side, Chen Xiao's momentum is even more arrogant.

The first person in the NBA to defeat the first combination in NBA history by KO!

This is the title of many Chinese TV media broadcasting news after the game.

No. 1 in the league, 72 wins and 10 losses, the leader of the Nets, one team in the regular season, All-Star MVP, this season, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Xiao is the number one player in the NBA, right?

Besides Kidd on the same team, who can compete with Chen Xiao for the title of NBA's No. 1 man this season?

Kobe, O'Neal or Duncan Garnett?

Do these guys have 72 wins? Have these people been around for a while? Have these people made it to the finals?

Although here in the United States, Chen Xiao may not even be the fifth player, but don't tell me, according to what you said in the domestic media, Chen Xiao is really a little bit like the first player in the NBA this season.

Of course, you can't be serious, you can't stop people from being cute, right?

In short, after the finals between the Nets and the Lakers, the domestic fans are even cuter.

After the first game between the Lakers and Nets, the whole world was buzzing around Chen Xiao, transactions, data, Rod Thorn and other news.

At this time, at the Nets' training ground, Nets head coach Byron Scott was working hard, racing against time to try the team's new tactics and new styles of play.

After all, Chen Xiao is already a player with excellent defense and good passing. Byron Scott needs to develop these two new characteristics of Chen Xiao.

In addition, the team's assistant coach Eddie Jordan took the team's editors and coaches to study the changes of the Lakers' next game.

After the G1 game, Phil Jackson threatened the Nets, saying that he would find a way to deal with the Nets in the next game.

Whether this is Phil Jackson's psychological warfare or really found a way, the current reporters and public opinion really don't care.

But the Nets coaching staff can't care less.

For the Nets coaching staff, this is the most important thing.

After Eddie Jordan and the coaching staff evaluated, Eddie Jordan felt that Phil Jackson was not aimless.

"Byron, according to the editing by our videographer, in the last few minutes of G1, when the Lakers were chasing points, Kobe tried to pick and roll with Robert Horry to hit Boozer. He hit Boozer four times in total and hit twice. One foul on Boozer, four possessions that require extra attention from us."

I have to say that NBA video editors are really good, and in fact it is true. Many NBA head coaches started as video editors.

A game lasts 48 minutes, and both sides have at least 150 rounds in total. Each round contains N amounts of information. Finding useful information about a game in a very short time requires a lot of tactical literacy.

It can only be said that the current NBA has really reached the assembly line stage of industrialization.

The video editor identifies some problems, and the team's head coach and the team's coaching staff work together to solve them and formulate a response method. This is a well-recognized assembly line process.

Not only the Nets, but also the Lakers on the opposite side. The editor of the Lakers is also looking for key information from Chen Xiao to provide reference for Phil Jackson.

"According to our analysis of Wonder Boy's assist defense actions throughout the game, after he blocked Shaq's five shots, most of his assist defenses against Shaq were mainly false assists to intimidate and intimidate, and real assist defenses The number of times he went to Shaq's side was not much, and his help defense against Shaq in the last game was more like scaring Shaq into giving up more singles Battelle."

"So, Shaq doesn't have to worry about Wonder Boy helping to defend him in the next game. He may not really come back to help defend Shaq?"

"We don't know what the next game will be like, we can only analyze the games that have happened."

Phil Jackson was not impressed by the editors' frankness.

"It seems that not only do we want to change our tactics for the next game, but we also need Shaq to be more brave."

Speaking of the Nets, through the reminder of the video editor, Byron Scott has already 80% determined what tactics the Lakers will use in the next game.

Byron Scott also understands why Phil Jackson has so much confidence in coming back in the next game.

If the Lakers really knock out Boozer, first of all, the Nets' direct attack on the offensive end will be affected. The pick-and-roll between Boozer and Kidd was almost the only tactic that could be used after the second half of the last finals.

Secondly, when Martin comes to the court, O'Neal can guard Battle and Martin alone, and Kidd and the Lakers don't have to defend them. With Bugs, Martin, and Kidd, the Lakers only need one defensive player, so the remaining four Defensive players, who are they going to guard?

Just give one to Richard Jefferson, and the other two can all be given to Chen Xiao.

Then Chen Xiao's offensive pressure will increase greatly.

At the same time, the Nets' offense will have huge problems.

Chen Xiao can also throw against two people like Kobe, but if you want to beat Kobe and O'Neal by relying on Chen Xiao to throw against two people, are you kidding?

It won't work if Chen Xiao is replaced by Jordan!

As long as Boozer is knocked out, the Nets' starting offense will collapse. Although the bench still has an advantage, your starting lineup has collapsed. Is the bench advantage still meaningful?

No matter how strong your substitute is, wouldn't the best result be to keep the score with the Lakers and then enter the critical moment?

As long as they enter the critical moment, the Lakers will be invincible!

To be fair, after listening to the team's head coach Byron Scott's analysis, the Nets' coaching staff and video analysts were all sweating.

Phil Jackson is too sophisticated, right?

After the last game, I immediately found a way to target the Nets from this small scene of Kobe Bryant beating Boozer.

"If we want to defeat the Lakers, the fourth position must be able to pull out and shoot. We must not allow O'Neal to have the ability to defend two people under the basket!"

After Byron Scott finished speaking, everyone else nodded heavily.

The playoffs are a contest of targeting and anti-targeting.

Although Byron Scott is not a famous coach like Phil Jackson, they have some advantages over a head coach like Byron Scott. They are not as strong as him, but there is no psychological pressure to adjust the lineup.

As a player of the Nets, he can use it casually.

Players like Martin will be substitutes when asked to do so. Players like Kidd and Chen Xiao will do whatever you ask them to do.

In the Lakers you let Phil Jackson try?

Try it or die!

On June 3, 2003, as the winner of the last championship, the Nets kept a very low profile. From the team's head coach to the players, everyone was training in a closed training ground.

Neither Chinese reporters nor American reporters are allowed to go to the Nets training ground for filming and interviews on this day.

The finals are all closed!

When Phil Jackson heard the news that the Nets would be completely closed in the Finals on June 3, the first thing Phil Jackson felt was not that the Nets had guessed how they would play in the next game.

The first thing Phil Jackson felt was envy.

The Nets won so beautifully in the first game of the Finals. This is the time for the players to brag and accept praise from the world!

As a coach who has led his team to championships nine times, he knows all too well how much the players need and crave the media after winning the finals.

After such a victory, if he were completely closed to the Lakers, he would be immediately overthrown by O'Neal and the Lakers players.

After losing the last game, O'Neal is now being interviewed like crazy, speaking crazy words out loud for the sake of face.

Because the Nets players were all closed, O'Neal was making crazy and harsh words there again, as if it was the Lakers who won the last game.

As a basketball coach, Phil Jackson truly envied Byron Scott for having such an easy team to lead.

June 4, 2003, the day of G2 of the finals.

Before the second game of the Finals between the Nets and Lakers started, the media across the United States and around the world looked like the show was about to begin.

The media in Los Angeles are quite nervous at this time.

Although the finals are a best-of-seven series, falling behind 0-2 at the start is too dangerous.

Although the format of the Finals is 2-3-2, the Lakers will have three home games next.

But can the Lakers guarantee that they will win all three home games?

Facing the Nets before the Finals, maybe.

The current Nets are really not safe.

Trailing 0 to 2, as long as one of the three home games is lost, then the next two away games will be desperate away games.

Therefore, although it is very difficult, for the Lakers, in this away game, the Lakers must win!

What the Los Angeles media knows, of course the Lakers players also know.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao and the Nets were warming up, it was obvious that they could feel the murderous spirit of the Lakers players on the opposite side.

Especially the way O'Neal looked at him!

"Shaq, Phil said, this kid bombed you in the last game. Every time he helped out, he was intimidating. You were deceived by him the whole game."

Speaking of this, O'Neal was very unhappy. According to the video editor's analysis, the first four of the five blocks the Wonder Boy blocked on him in the last game were due to his carelessness, and the fifth time was Chamberlain's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar style. The blockage is the real fiasco in the head-to-head duel.

Logically speaking, if the Wonder Boy really has the ability to help defend like Chamberlain, to be honest, he must have been vomited in the last game?

No matter how careful he is, it's hard for him not to be fooled even once, right?

In the last game, after those five times, he was not defeated by Chen Xiao once.

Therefore, according to Phil's analysis, Wonder Boy does not have Chamberlain's ability to help defend, so he is trying to scare him.

And he, the great shark, was really frightened!

A three-time championship, three-time FMVP, and the king of the finals, was intimidated by a rookie?

Is it a shame?

Quite embarrassing!

"Derek, if there is a chance in this game, I will show off my power!"

No, not only do I want to show off my power and find opportunities, I also want to trample that kid and regain my face!

"Shaq, this game will definitely allow the King of the Finals to light up the whole world!"

Hearing what Fisher said, O'Neal was very satisfied.

According to Phil's design, the offense is to attack Battelle without fear, while the defense is to defend one against two. In this game, he will dominate the game in all aspects of offense and defense!

As the warm-up of the two teams ended, the starting lineups of the two teams were already shown on TV.

Lakers side, O'Neal, Robert Horry, Devin George, Kobe Bryant, Fisher

For the Nets, Battelle, Boozer, Richard Jefferson, Chen Xiao, Kidd.

"There are no changes in the starting lineups of the two teams in this game. According to the unspoken rules of the NBA playoffs, generally speaking, the losing team will make adjustments in tactics and lineups, but it seems that the Lakers have not made any adjustments. It looks like the Nets are likely to win another victory in this game!"

"The Nets' starting lineup is not familiar with the Lakers' starting lineup. The Nets' substitutes have a great advantage. If they win this game, the Nets' championship chances will be greatly increased!"

Teacher Song and Teacher Zhang were very excited when they saw the Lakers' starting lineup come out!

However, on the Nets side, Nets head coach Byron Scott is not so optimistic when he sees the Lakers' lineup.

Phil Jackson, on the other side, looked at the Nets' starting lineup, which made the Lakers very embarrassed in the last game, with a smile on his face.

"This game, this lineup, won't be on the court for long!"

Boozer will be beaten by Kobe soon!

Then, it’s Shaq’s personal performance!

In the center of the court, Bago and O'Neal once again stood in the center circle.

Of course, O'Neal won the jump ball this time.

However, this time, O'Neal did not dare to continue the fast break alone.

Although Chen Xiao spent most of the last game trying to scare him, and his help defense was not as good as Chamberlain's, Chen Xiao is also an excellent defensive player who can block him when he is careless.

"This time, no one from the Lakers' O'Neal went on a fast break. After Fisher received the ball in the backcourt, he immediately handed the ball to Kobe. It seemed that Fisher was completely blocked by the Nets in the third quarter of the previous game. The tight guy was so scared that he didn’t even come to his senses, haha.”

Teacher Zhang couldn't help but smile reassuringly when he saw Fisher's hot basketball performance.

All this is very good, all this is in his prediction of Lao Zhang, the Nets can win this game!

And just when Teacher Zhang thought of this, Kobe was already holding the ball and setting a pick-and-roll with Robert Horry on the court.

Kobe Bryant and Robert Horry pick and roll, how to defend?

Of course it's still pinching Kobe!

The last time Robert Horry averaged more than 10 points per game in his career was when he was with the Rockets in 1996. In the past seven years, Horry has not scored in double figures.

Horry can indeed throw, but being able to throw does not mean that he can play pick-and-rolls and pick-and-rolls. The most important thing is the stability of his shooting!

Does Horry still have that shooting stability now?

Byron Scott was suspicious.

So, let’s change our thinking in this game and double-team Kobe!

Let's try Horry's current condition first. Maybe he doesn't need to change and he can protect Boozer.

There is nothing wrong with Byron Scott’s thoughts and ideas.

but!

A swipe!

3 to 0!

Robert Horry took the lead for the Lakers and hit an open three-pointer!

Amidst the boos from the Nets, Horry high-fived Kobe honestly.

Such a simple and honest smile was the last time Chen Xiao saw it on Bowen's face.

"This person is not simple."

From his honest smile, Chen Xiao felt that he was as extraordinary a person as Bowen.

Meanwhile, Byron Scott and the Nets' first experiment failed.

It was the Nets' turn to attack. This time, Kidd didn't wait for Battle to fend off Kobe for Chen Xiao, and started a pick-and-roll with Boozer. After Kidd helped Boozer block his opposing defender Horry, Boozer faced Fisher made a mid-range shot and made it!

3 to 2!

Boozer's shot is very steady!

From Boozer's shot, we can see Boozer's status in this Nets offense.

Without Boozer, the Nets' offensive pressure is entirely on Chen Xiao.

If possible, Byron Scott and the Nets will of course give priority to keeping Boozer!

"Boozer has a good touch in this game, and his mid-range shot is still so stable!"

After being shocked by Horry's three-pointer just now, Teacher Zhang was finally stunned by Boozer's mid-range shot.

The Lakers continued to attack.

This time, Kobe is still picking and rolling with Horry.

The Lakers beat Kobe twice in a row in this game. O'Neal rarely had any objections and was honest.

Because O'Neal also knows that only if Kobe opens this game can he rule the world!

As long as Boozer is on the basketball court, he can't rule the world!

This time in the pick-and-roll between Kobe and Horry, the Nets did not double-team Kobe, nor did they allow Kobe to switch defenses.

As a defensive pick-and-roll master, Kidd wanted to steal Kobe, but!

Just when Kidd was about to grab it, he was directly grabbed by Robert Horry!

Then, Boozer had to switch defense in front of Kobe.

Kidd, who failed to protect Boozer, looked at Horry hugging him in surprise.

"This old thing?!"

Faced with Kidd's surprise, Horry showed a simple smile.

Next to him, Boozer, who had once again faced off against Kobe Bryant, was very focused and did not panic.

After all, he knew before the game that Kobe was going to hit him.

Therefore, Phil Jackson on the sidelines was also a little surprised by Boozer's appearance.

Very calm, no wonder he can make us Lakers so uncomfortable.

but!

The person standing in front of you is Kobe!

When Boozer defends Kobe, he can basically only give Kobe a little space and bet on Kobe's touch.

Boozer's speed and flexibility put him in front of Kobe and basically sent him away.

Kobe dribbled forward, then turned his back to Boozer, then turned to the right to break through in a very obvious movement. Boozer saw Kobe break to the right, so of course he could only move to the right, but Kobe simply couldn't. There is no breakthrough, but when Boozer moves defensively, he leans directly on Boozer's body, which is a personal mid-range shot that draws a foul!

Standard cheating foul!

If he is an experienced defensive player, he will either continue to retreat at this time, or he will be more aggressive. Boozer is a little bit behind this time.

so……

A swipe!

Another beep followed!

2+1!

Less than 1 minute into the game, Boozer committed a foul.

Byron Scott knew that Boozer couldn't guard Kobe and would foul at some point in the game. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

Kobe's ability to draw fouls is beyond his imagination!

It seems that Boozer cannot be allowed to stay on the court for a while longer.

Boozer's defense against Kobe is different from Battle's defense against O'Neal. When Battle defends O'Neal, he has to try not to foul. That's Battle's ability to limit O'Neal on his own.

When Boozer was guarding Kobe, he couldn't stop guarding just to avoid fouling. Boozer couldn't guard Kobe. If you didn't defend or foul, Kobe would be beaten.

The team will still lose.

So, no need to leave anything to chance!

Substitute!

When Kobe Bryant took a free throw, Phil Jackson smiled when he saw the Nets' substitutions.

Get on Martin!

But soon, the smile on Phil Jackson's face solidified.

Instead of Martin, Rodney Rogers was on board? !

"The Nets want one big and four small?"

Looking at the only big player in the Nets, Phil Jackson shook his head quickly.

This is impossible!

At this time, Rogers came on the court and walked to Chen Xiao's free throw position to grab a rebound. Then, Chen Xiao walked to Boozer's inside position.

"Boozer was replaced by Rodney Rogers, and Wonder Boy was pushed into Boozer's place!"

"The wonder boy, one of the top five shooting guards in the NBA, will play power forward in this finals!"

“This is an incredibly crazy adjustment!”

At this time, Barkley and Kenny Smith cheered excitedly among the exclaimed Nets fans.

In front of the TV, there were also many viewers who were surprised.

"Wonder boy plays power forward..."

The magicians in front of the TV were all surprised.

This picture is very familiar!

"In the last game, I blocked shots like Chamberlain. In this game, I want to play in the paint like me?"

This kid...can do it!

When Chen Xiao stood in the inside position opposite Bago to grab the board, the whole world looked at him with suspicion.

A recognized defender is actually going to play power forward.

Even Kobe, who was shooting free throws at this time, was looking sideways.

When Chen Xiao played power forward, the first thing everyone could think of was surprise.

Except for one person!

Extra penalty hit!

2+1 tie!

6 to 2!

Seeing Chen Xiao's back grabbing the position to protect the rebound after Kobe Bryant's free throw, O'Neal was so excited that he was shaking!

"God, you didn't really hear this shark's prayer, did you?!"

"I, the great Shaq, can finally take my revenge and ravage this kid!"
