I’m Really Playing Basketball

This game made me stick my ass, what do you mean?

You are a little genius!

Seeing Chen Xiao put his hands on his hips in front of him at this moment, watching him seriously poking up his buttocks to pick up the ball, O'Neill was so uncomfortable.

Originally, as a center, it's really nothing to stick your ass to pick up the ball, it's all work.

However, after being so emphasized by Chen Xiao, this simple action of picking up the ball is no longer just work.

Damn it, if you ask me to stick my butt, I will stick my butt, don't I lose face?

And this kid is still looking at him with his hands on his hips. This, this is too shameful, isn't it?

It is said that as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

In the same way, as long as you are not ashamed, it is others who are ashamed.

For example, O'Neill at this time.

"Push."

Stick a ball!

O'Neill looked at Malone next to him, and Malone acted as if he hadn't seen it, and trotted to the frontcourt.

If it was a little loli standing there with her hips on her hips, I'd be pouted, but boy wonder...

You should stick it out.

If it was in the Lakers, with O'Neal's eyes like this, except for Ke Boss, no matter which partner is next to him, he would have to pout on his behalf.

But sorry, this is the Nets.

Especially Ma Long, when Brother Long swept you Xiao Ao, you Xiao Ao was still crying.

So seeing Brother Long acting like I don't know, I don't understand, you young people playing by yourself, O'Neill is really aggrieved.

"Push it."

This kid is addicted!

O'Neal looked at Payton who was about to catch the ball again, and noticed O'Neal's eyes. Payton didn't ignore it like Malone did, but pouted at Chen Xiao, which meant it was obvious.

Boy Wonder is standing here, I pick up the ball, you catch the ball, aren't you afraid to provoke the real eyes of Boy Wonder's wolf king and give you a prophecy of stealing?

Anyway, Shaq, you better stick it out.

Seeing O'Neill's constipated appearance on the court, the TNT commentator on the sidelines explained that Barkley and Kenny Smith were already laughing.

"Hahahaha, in terms of trash talking, Fantastic Boy is too talented, if Shaq is asked to stick his ass, Shaq can only stick his ass honestly, and he can't even be dishonest, hahahahaha..."

Especially Barkley, who almost laughed at himself.

As the No. 1 player in the league selected by ESPN this season, he is leading the strongest team in history. In the first game against his old club, the Lakers, he played so fiercely. O'Neill is going to change his way of life and personality.

Set yourself up as a strong, mighty, and handsome person.

After all, no one is competing with him for attention now, so there is no need to play tricks.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that the magical boy just wouldn't let him go ashore, hahahaha..."

Shaq, keep on laughing, hahahaha!

Barkley's laugh was so contagious at the moment.

Many viewers in front of the TV laughed, including Kobe.

Especially when O'Neill, under the gaze of Chen Xiao and urged by the referee next to him, "bent down" and pouted his butt in a "humiliating" way.

I'm the mighty and handsome character set!

Listening to the laughter all over the Continental Arena, the look on O'Neill's face was ugly.

And Phil Jackson on the sidelines couldn't laugh or cry when he saw O'Neill staring at Chen Ling on the court.

"It's Shaq's nemesis!"

Thinking of Chen Ling's spiritual movement just now, Phil Jackson smiled and shook his head.

Whether it's character or style of play, Boy Wonder is Shaq's nemesis.

I have to say that Phil Jackson is still very discerning.

After Chen Xiao awakened her self-created skill Eye of God, the probability of the Eye of God seeing through the opponent's offensive and defensive intentions increased by 100%. This is extremely powerful when combined with the 90% offensive movement.

The probability of seeing through the opponent's offensive and defensive intentions increases by 100%. If your strength can have a 10% probability of seeing through the opponent, then opening the Eye of God will double the 20%.

This probability seems to be useless in normal times.

After all, it is not 100%, and the probability is not that high.

But quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. You have to try at least three or even four attempts for an offensive off-the-ball movement, right?

When there are so many times, the probability of successfully activating the skill will increase, right?

As long as the skill is activated, it's like opening the eye of God, seeing all the opponent's defensive intentions, and this is Dior.

If O'Neill is Duncan, he can come out to delay and block Chen Xiao's ability to activate the Eye of God, that's fine.

The key is that neither O'Neill nor Malone can get out!

All he could do was watch Chen Ling hold back his big moves on the court, and when he got out of the big moves, he went to O'Neill to release them, and if he couldn't hold back, he continued to hold back.

Anyway, it must be O'Neill who suffers in the end.

Not to mention, Chen Xiao really had this kind of thinking.

On the court, the Nets attacked and Payton advanced with the ball. James did not interfere with Payton's advancement.

Because Xiao Zhan has gone back to lead the Cavaliers' defense to shrink.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, personally guards Vince Carter, the Nets' strongest and most stable outside offensive player.

As for Peyton...

To be reasonable, the Cavaliers can only let him go. This point guard who averaged 21 points and 8 assists per game in the Sonics last season, made less than 30% of his three-pointers last season. What is the concept?

The three-point shooting percentage of the boss is even lower than that of Kei Boss.

The offense of the Nets is very strong. O'Neal is invincible at the basket, Malone is excellent in the middle distance, and Carter is extremely versatile. Among the top five points, Carter's three-point shooting ability is second only to Chen Xiao.

Therefore, the Nets are not without the ability to open up space, this team has the ability to open up space.

However, because Payton and Richard Jefferson's offense does not have a sense of space, the Cavaliers can focus their defensive efforts on O'Neal, Malone and Carter.

The other four shrank to a limited extent, only protruding Chen Xiao to face Carter.

Well, the simple thing is, Rick Carlisle, zone defense in this game.

And it uses the 23 zone defense that Carlisle prefers.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan are located at the left and right ends of the free throw line. Chandler, Diop, and Darius Miles are parallel to the free throw line, stepping from the left three-point line to the basket and then to the right three-pointer. One step in the line, one row at a time.

However, the zone defense is not a fixed position, it is still changing and moving. Chen Xiao is facing Carter, so it is a little more prominent.

And James is facing Richard Jefferson, but it doesn't matter.

As for Payton, there is no defensive player facing Payton at this time. Payton is standing at the top three-point line between Chen Xiao and James.

Playing the net defense, of course, is to deal with O'Neal.

In 2001, the league allowed the legalization of joint defense, just to deal with O'Neal.

Zone defense has both advantages and disadvantages. Everyone knows this. It is very effective for teams that like to dominate the basket and like to break through. It will leave a lot of space.

This can be seen from the position of the defensive players.

Chen Xiao was considered a prominent part of the Cavaliers' defense, already outstanding, but still a little more than one step away from Carter.

Therefore, it is very simple to break the Cavaliers' zone defense. Payton and Carter throw a few three-pointers, and Malone throws a few mid-range shots.

Putting aside Payton, Carter and Malone have this ability.

Why does Carlisle still play zone defense?

Of course, Carlisle doesn't believe that Malone can be as accurate as Kobe playing the Spurs throughout the game. The Spurs also use zone defense against the Lakers, and Kobe can always kill crazy.

Carlisle felt that Ma Long no longer had the ability to kill madness.

As for Carter, he is capable, so he put Chen Xiao, the team's best defensive player, in front of Carter, and it stood out.

Carlisle is betting that Chen Xiao has the ability to prevent Carter from going crazy.

As long as Carter and Malone are not crazy and O'Neal is restricted, the Cavaliers have a chance to win this game.

It has to be said that Carlisle is all gambling.

But now the Cavaliers play the Nets and don't gamble, what else can they do?

Therefore, the key points of this game are Carter and Malone. However, what surprised Carlisle and did not expect was that Chen Xiao made such a move against O'Neal just now.

The Nets' first attack did not hit Carter or Malone.

As an experienced old point guard, Payton can see the Cavaliers' zone defense at a glance. The Nets' best offensive choice this time is to play Malone and Carter.

But seeing O'Neal who was forcing the position and the ball at the basket, Payton sighed in his heart.

In the end, the ball could only be played to O'Neill.

O'Neal, who received a lob from Payton in the paint, wanted to use his own strength to directly carry Diop away behind him.

Isn't it the joint defense?

Do you think you are Duncan?

Or are you Battelle?

Diop is certainly not Duncan nor Battelle.

but……

He really was able to withstand O'Neill!

As long as he can hit it, the other players of the Cavaliers can recover it.

I have to say that Diop is indeed tough enough. O'Neal leaned heavily behind him. 90% of the league's centers couldn't stand up, but Diop actually stopped, and only slightly sideways. Harmless.

Unable to kill the opponent directly and quickly, O'Neill can only play skillfully.

But by this time Tyson Chandler had returned.

After all, joint defense!

Dealing with O'Neill!

When Payton hit the ball into O'Neal's hands, the Cavaliers' players were already moving.

Tyson Chandler came back a little fast, and the speed scared O'Neal a little.

According to O'Neal's vision, he should be able to shoot before the Cavaliers' flanking attack is formed.

As long as he can shoot at the basket, he is guaranteed a 60% shooting rate.

This is where he is invincible.

But facing Chandler and Diop's double center attack, O'Neal was uncomfortable.

Fortunately, O'Neal's body is really huge. After sweeping half a circle with his left elbow to the right, although he didn't have a chance to attack by himself, he finally saw Carter who had run to the right three-point line to receive the ball.

O'Neal vigorously threw the basketball towards Carter.

The ball was almost broken by the long-handed Chen Xiao, and it really missed.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines was terrified.

Fortunately, Carter received O'Neal's pass smoothly.

But at this time Carter was also forced into a very uncomfortable position.

There is a three-pointer on the sideline near the bottom corner.

That's where the view is the worst.

Chen Xiao stepped forward directly and opened his long arms to cover Carter. Carter was out of bounds if he retreated, and was blocked by Chen Xiao when he moved forward, and the bottom corner with worse vision was to the right, so he could only pass the ball to the left or go left.

Of course, a strong attack is also fine, but Carter is not an idiot, in front of Chen Ling, directly attacking like this?

Are you kidding me?

Carter sat with his back against Chen Xiao for a while, and after feeling Chen Xiao's strength, he decisively chose to give up some actions to protect the ball. After Payton appeared in his field of vision, he hit the ball with a sigh of relief. Peyton's hand.

Watching the 24 seconds that were about to disappear, Payton made a 45-degree three-point shot from the right.

Bang bang!

strike iron.

Payton was helpless for this kind of takeover.

This time the Nets' offense was very difficult when O'Neal wanted to attack the zone defense.

So although he took Carter's blame, in fact, the blame belongs to O'Neill.

If it was Carter, he could complain to Carter.

But if it is O'Neill, he really has no temper.

He could only shake his head and return to defense.

Because after Tyson Chandler picked up the backcourt rebound, he had already passed the ball to James, and James had already led Chen Xiao, Darius Miles and Chandler to fast break.

The Cavaliers don't care about their center Diop at all.

And Diop doesn't need the players of the Cavaliers to care, he just walks behind with O'Neal anyway.

Of course, it would be even better if Malone stayed and walked with him and O'Neal.

O'Neill and Malone are not as laid-back as Diop.

The Cavaliers' fast break is too fierce.

Especially when James pushes the fast break, the impact is really easy to make the defensive players frightened.

In fact, the Nets' defense is also very fast.

Richard Jefferson and Payton clamped James one after the other.

And Carter has been sticking next to Chen Xiao.

However, don't forget that the Cavaliers still have Garnett Jr., Darius Miles!

Because O'Neill was teased by Chen Xiao, he had to underestimate the enemy's attack in the face of the zone defense, which led to a series of problems later on!

James, who rushed to the paint area of ​​the Nets, did not make a strong attack under the front and back pincers of Payton and Richard Jefferson. Instead, he jumped up and made a pass to the right. Darius Myers, who followed up from behind, made an easy pass Slam dunk!

4 to 0!

Looking at Darius Miles hanging on the basket, Payton was in a daze.

This time he really tried his best to return to defense.

However, these Cavaliers players are too good at running!

Not only is Myers hanging on the basket, Chandler has also reached the three-point line at this time.

And Chen Ling had already taken Carter to squat outside the three-point line.

And what about the two insiders O'Neal and Malone?

The two of them just ran out of breath and were still one step away from the three-point line.

Compared with some old Nets, this group of Cavaliers players can run too much!

Moreover, Payton can feel that the Cavaliers are running with them on purpose!

In addition to dealing with O'Neal, the zone defense also has a function to protect the backcourt rebounds.

Regardless of whether the Nets score or fail to score, the Cavaliers will use James' impact and speed to run with the Nets!

I have to say that he deserves to be the most experienced point guard in the NBA, a man who once fought the God of Basketball for 300 rounds.

Payton's guess is really good.

Rick Carlisle really meant it.

Why did he bet that Malone couldn't do what Kobe did?

It is because, even if Malone faces the zone defense and hits a shot, the Cavaliers can find opportunities for James to bring the rhythm up.

Then force Malone to run with the rhythm of the Cavaliers.

I'll see if you, Malone, can kill us with your middle distance!

I have to say that Carlisle is really a very thoughtful head coach.

Compared with those head coaches in the NBA who can only rely on players, Carlisle does have his own thoughts and pursuits.

He thought about playing the Nets, the strongest team in history.

Of course, on the court, Payton discovered the Cavaliers' intentions.

Of course Phil Jackson found out too.

I thought it would be a very simple matter to beat the Cavaliers in this game, but I didn't expect such a moth to happen.

Not only Wonder Boy made him feel uncomfortable, but the head coach of the Cavaliers is not a worry-free opponent.

So what to do?

Of course do nothing!

Replacing Malone with Martin can indeed solve the problem of running.

But the pressure to break the defense is all on Carter.

How could he do what Carlisle wanted?

If you want to force me to make a change, I will show you my immovable Zen energy as a Zen master!

The first quarter was still going on, and in the next game O'Neal was obviously not as willful as the first attack in the opening game.

Breaking the zone defense, especially breaking the Cavaliers' zone defense, really can't attack by force.

Even if Wonder Boy scores every time, he has to say to him: "Shaq, put your ass up and pick up the ball!"

He could only endure the humiliation.

When the Nets were attacking, the main offensive players became Malone and Carter.

Although Malone and Carter's ability to break the zone defense is very good.

In the first quarter, Malone made 3 of 5 shots and scored 6 points, while Carter was 3 of 7 and 2 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 10 points.

But at the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 2 points in the away game with a score of 24 to 22.

Regardless of whether the Nets score or fail to score, anyway, as long as James can run, he must run!

This can make the Nets, which has three veterans over the age of 30 on the court, vomit.

The double big man who broke through the Nets has Chen Xiao's God's Eye + offensive running.

Fast break the age and slowness of the Nets, with James' tank charge.

When Chen Xiao was running, James passed the ball to Chen Xiao.

When James charged in the fast break, Chen Xiao created space for James to charge from outside the three-point line.

To be reasonable, in the first quarter, although the Nets were stronger, they were indeed very uncomfortable being dealt with by Chen Xiao and James!

"In terms of strength, we are definitely inferior to the Nets, but we have impact, speed, can run, and are willing to run, and are more united. We can win this game!"

When Chen Xiao was off the court, he encouraged Xiao Zhan and his teammates next to him.

Hearing what Chen Xiao said, the young Cavaliers players were very excited, especially Xiao Zhan.

As a teenager who loves headlines, the temptation to defeat the strongest team in history has influenced public opinion, and his attraction is simply irresistible!

"Xiao Chen, I want to play with you for 48 minutes in this game!"

After being taken aback for a moment, Chen Xiao smiled and stretched out her right hand to James. James understood, and their right hands were firmly held together in the air.

To win the Nets, the starting lineup is just a 50-50 match with the Nets, and the substitutes can't lose either!

So in this game, Chen Xiao is not going to take a break, and will play for 48 minutes.

He felt that with a substitute, he should be able to play a 50-50 with the Nets' substitute.

Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose too much.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan would play with him for 48 minutes in this game.

Not only James, Chandler, Darius Miles, Diop, all are willing to play with him for 48 minutes.

Chen Xiao was really touched by the young teammates of the Cavaliers.

"Brothers!"

Not only Chen Xiao, but Carlisle next to him was also very moved.

As for the salty fish players of the Cavaliers, they were a little out of tune with the vigorous fighting spirit of Chen Xiao and the others.

Of course, Carlisle would definitely not let Chandler, Diop and Miles go with Chen Xiao and James.

James and Chen Xiao are always together, and the combination of the two is even more powerful.

But replacing them with three players who can't attack without a basket is not to help them, but to add to their obstacles.

The three of them played the Nets for the first time, and they played as the Nets' substitutes. It really didn't work!

Korver, Marshall and Diaw accompanied Chen Xiao and James in the second quarter rotation.

The small offensive lineup is just to pull points.

After the first four minutes of the second quarter, the Cavaliers did rely on Chen Xiao and James to lead a group of rookies on the court to score a little.

When the starters of both teams came back, the score of the two teams was 32 to 26 at this time, and the lead of the Cavaliers became 6 points.

In the second and third quarters, when the starting lineups of the two teams faced off, they played against their own strength while playing against their youth, impact, ability to run, and ability to defend.

And what is very surprising is that, as the league's first champion coach, no matter how anxious the game was, Phil Jackson always sat on the sidelines with a smile.

Even after the third quarter, the Cavaliers had led 75 to 67 by 8 points. Phil Jackson was still sitting on the sidelines with a smile, without making any adjustments to the Nets.

This left many viewers on the scene and even in front of the TV who wanted the Nets to win a little speechless.

"The Nets, the strongest team in history, are going to lose!"

"Shaq won't collapse again?!"

"Phil Jackson won't have Zen disease again?!"

Zen disease again?

It's not that I'm suffering from Zen disease again!

The fourth quarter started, looking at Chen Xiao who was still on the court, Phil Jackson smiled.

On the court, looking at Xiao Zhan who was about to play on the sidelines, Chen Xiao gave Xiao Zhan a reassuring smile.

"Xiao Zhan, whether we can win this game or not depends on whether you can hold on."

Endurance, tenacity, madness, you must have endurance and tenacity in times of difficulty, so that you can wait for the madness when you make a comeback. This is our spirit of the wolf king!

Xiao Zhan, do you understand?

To be reasonable, Xiao Zhan on the sidelines really didn't understand. Xiao Zhan on the sidelines knew that Xiao Chen chose to go up and block the eye-catching by himself, and kept him as the team's fire.

Xiao Zhan did not see the spirit of the wolf king in Chen Xiao's eyes.

What Xiao Zhan saw seemed to be Chen Xiao saying to him: "Xiao Zhan, the future is yours, the future of the team is yours, you must be good, I will sacrifice first!"

Therefore, Xiao Zhan did not feel the spirit of the wolf king, he was simply moved.

Very touched.

So, if you have something to say, just say it, what are you doing with your eyes flashing, it's not acting in an idol drama.

Misunderstood, no?

"Chen has already found out, this game is lost."

Look, Phil Jackson on the other side also misunderstood when he saw Chen Xiao and James' little eyes of "life and death".

ps: This is the second update today, and there is another update for the leader today, which is being written.
