I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 231 Because, I am strong!

November 7, Cleveland, Gund Arena.

In other words, the last time Chen Xiao and LeBron saw Britney, uh, Melo-Melo was during the draft.

After the draft, he lived on a high plateau, while Chen Xiao and LeBron lived in Kecun. They traveled to China for a while. When they came back, the training camps of various NBA teams had already started.

In the blink of an eye, almost five months have passed.

I have to say that sometimes NBA players really feel reluctant to give up day and night, feeling like the dead.

Therefore, many good friends will always invite everyone to spend summer beer together, fishing, watching the sea, taking a banana boat ride and so on.

If you don't try hard to stay together in summer, you may not be able to stay together for long in a year.

NBA players are still very busy if they don’t want to learn from Darius Miles and the others who eat, drink, have fun, and smoke. If they want to pursue it, they are still very busy.

It's been a long time since we saw each other. When I met Xiao Tiantian, I chose to tear up the scars of Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan. Is it because the relationship is unfamiliar?

That's definitely not the case.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we often keep in touch and play games together. Chen Xiao will explode Xiao Tiantian's 'melon head' in the game every day.

Mainly...

Anthony was deflated in Indiana yesterday.

The day before yesterday, Chen Xiao and Artest had a big battle. The two of them had a dark battle, and killed a sun and a moon.

Just when Artest was on the rise, the game was over, and Artest was very upset.

When Chen Xiao left, Artest still gritted his teeth reluctantly, and wanted to have some more fights with Chen Xiao.

Yesterday, Melon brought the nuggets to Artest's mouth. Do you think Artest can make Melon better?

The state and fighting spirit were aroused by Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao left, Anthony came, Artest didn't call all the big moves on Anthony.

Yesterday, Anthony was rubbed on the ground by Artest all night, and his eyes were about to be hammered by Artest. After the game, he wondered if he had a concussion.

Looking back on the game, Anthony realized that he wasn't concussed, and that Artest's elbow didn't elbow his face.

He should simply be stunned by Artest.

Imagine the game between the Nuggets and the Pacers. Anthony only scored 2 points in less than 1 minute of the first quarter.

This is Anthony, not to mention a full-level rookie, an 80-level rookie should be counted, but he was caught in such a tragedy.

Artest is a beast!

Look at what you did last night, we Guagua have been in a daze for 24 hours.

He actually thought of looking for comfort from Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan.

I'm only happy if your life is worse than mine!

Good guy, yes!

Although the Nuggets were beaten by the Pacers in the last game, the Nuggets have a good record this season. 3 wins and 2 losses are definitely better than the Cavaliers' 2 wins and 4 losses.

Going back to this game, the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets was actually broadcast live in the United States, can you believe it?

In the previous four-game losing streak, the Cavaliers played so many big teams, and none of them were broadcast live across the United States.

The weight of the Nuggets is comparable to that of the Kings, Suns, Trail Blazers and Pacers?

Of course it is incomparable.

But, this is the rematch between Anthony and James after more than a year.

In the United States, the high school match between Anthony and James is considered to be the pinnacle of high school basketball in the past 10 years, and its influence is very large.

This time the two reunited for the first game in the NBA, and the attention in the United States is extremely high.

Therefore, as a Chinese, Mr. Zhang on one side couldn't understand the group of American reporters and commentators who were scrambling next to him.

Why is this game the same as the game between the Cavaliers and the Nets?

Isn't the Nuggets a young team like the Cavaliers?

As a Chinese, it is really difficult to understand the public opinion environment in the United States.

Just like last season, the game where Chen Xiao and Wade reunited for the first time was definitely one of Chen Xiao's most watched games in the United States.

Let's say they have feelings, but many players who were very sentimental back then, when they are old, their strength has declined, and they are abandoned by them like shoes.

Sometimes it is really hard for you to understand what is going on in the hearts of Americans.

Just hanging out in China with half a bottle of water is definitely a bad word.

But in the United States, half a bottle of water dangles like a full bottle of water, which is a compliment, and you can bluff when you are not good enough. A 50-level rookie dares to fill a full-level rookie in the NBA. This is called courage and heroism.

Therefore, Chen Xiao has so many experience cards for training, which can be filled with high-level rookies, Chen Xiao never dared to pretend.

If it is an American player, or a Chinese player who grew up in the American environment, he will definitely pretend!

So, don't look at Chen Xiao's popularity in the United States is very big and lively, but he always feels that his popularity in the United States is not as strong as he has shown.

He is a bit out of tune with the culture here. Except for local fans, few fans from other places regard him as their own.

After all, if you are not one of us that we admit, no matter how strong you are, you are still a foreign aid to ordinary fans.

Of course, professionals and fans are different, they have to be separated, fans are about feelings, and feelings are more important than strength.

In the hearts of professionals, feelings are definitely more important than strength, but they will not show it on the surface. After all, people are emotional animals, and the strength of the team will not talk to you about feelings.

It has to be said that there are few bosses like Cuban in the NBA, almost unique.

Of course, except for those teenagers with secondary illness who play basketball in the United States.

Those teenagers with secondary illnesses in the United States regarded Chen Xiao as one of their own.

Ahem, maybe Chen Xiao is the NBA star with the youngest average fan age in the United States.

It felt like Chen Xiao's small car drove directly to the entrance of the kindergarten.

On the sidelines, for Mr. Zhang's puzzlement, the colleagues next to him looked at Mr. Zhang proudly and said.

"Zhang, they are the representatives of the next generation of players in the United States, the protagonists, and the protagonists of the next generation of the NBA, the next Magician and Larry Bird!"

them? The next generation of protagonists in the NBA? The next generation of Magic and Bird?

Teacher Zhang is not happy about what he said!

Isn't the protagonist our baby Xiao?

Back to the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets at home.

The current situation of the two teams is average, and the Nuggets want to regain the confidence lost in the last game from the Cavaliers.

As for the Cavaliers, they finally met a young opponent who could play, and the Nuggets couldn't just slip away like this.

Therefore, before the start of this game, the young players of the Cavaliers who had been rubbed against by the big guys before were all gearing up.

The Gund Arena last season was the lowest-attended arena in the NBA. James joked last year that he had more fans in Cleveland than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, not humble at all .

Or, Xiao Zhan is actually being humble. Xiao Zhan's fans in Cleveland are simply overwhelming Cavaliers fans.

And this is why the Cleveland Cavaliers' home games are full in the preseason.

There are indeed not that many Cavaliers fans, but there are many local fans of Xiao Zhan!

On the field, the starting players of the two teams have finished warming up, and the starting lineups of the two teams have been shown on TV.

The Nuggets' starters for the away game include center Camby, power forward Nene, small forward Anthony, shooting guard Voshan Leonard, and point guard Andre Miller.

The starting lineup for the Cavaliers at home is center Tyson Chandler, power forward Diaw, small forward Darius Miles, shooting guard Chen Xiao, and point guard James.

The Nuggets' starter is their regular starter. So far this season, the five starters have all averaged more than 10 points per game. It can be regarded as a very strong starting lineup in the NBA.

As for the Cavaliers, the starting lineup of the Cavaliers is not fixed, mainly because of the position of power forward, which is a big problem for the Cavaliers.

Marshall, Chandler, Diaw and even Darius Myers have all played power forward, but the effect is not that good.

Generally speaking, Dior, who is good at everything and not so strong in everything, is the most suitable starter for this game.

The Nuggets' starting players are very strong offensively, but their head coach Jeff Buderick is not well-known in the fan circle, but he is a famous defensive master coach in the NBA.

In the last game, the Nuggets lost a 60-71 loss to the Pacers.

Therefore, the Nuggets are definitely a very special team in the league, which is very contradictory.

The players are all offensive, and the coach is defensive, so this team looks awkward, but it can both attack and defend.

Therefore, for the Cavaliers, let Diop play center and Chandler play power forward. The defense is enough, but it is too slow. There are two big men squatting inside, but the main offensive force of the opponent is not inside, which is too bad.

Let Marshall play power forward, and it will be a disadvantage against Nene.

Let Darius Miles play power forward, and Anthony is no one to watch, let Chen Xiao and James move to small forward, they are too lucky.

Rick Carlisle is unwilling to let Chen Xiao or James have a lot of one-on-one with the opposing star players.

The responsibilities of the two in the Cavaliers are too heavy. If they have a lot of one-on-one games, the team responsibilities they leave behind will not be able to do well by others, which is not a good thing for the team.

So choose to choose, only Dior.

It's also interesting to say that the Cavaliers have a lot of power forwards in various styles, but none of them fit Carlisle's requirements.

When Carlisle was in the Pistons, he was also troubled by the problem of power forwards.

After Carlisle lost to the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals of last year's playoffs, he has been thinking about it. If the Pistons are given an excellent offensive and defensive power forward, maybe the Pistons will enter the Finals.

Of course, in this league, there is a shortage of excellent offensive and defensive power forwards than excellent offensive and defensive centers.

The focus of this game for the national audience is that James and Anthony, the old high school enemies, meet again.

So before the game started, all the cameras on the scene were facing James and Anthony.

The on-site commentary has also been explaining the game between the two in high school.

And Chen Xiao had watched that match, to be honest, it was indeed very exciting.

Both played far beyond the level of high school students at the time.

This time the two came to the NBA, the audience certainly wanted to see if they were still the two young people who were far above their peers compared to those years ago.

The game starts with Tyson Chandler and Camby jumping the ball.

Chandler, who has always been excellent on the jump ball this season, lost to Camby this time, and the Nuggets took the first attack in this game.

The regular start of the Nuggets this season is Anthony's singles, and this game is even more the same.

Facing the defense of Darius Miles, Anthony received a pass from Miller on the right waist. After walking up with a three-threat, Miles was slightly shaken, and then he broke through to face Dior's defense. A mid-range shot hit.

Miles' defense still likes to jump too much, and Garnett Jr. is normal.

Looking back, after James and Chen Xiao picked and rolled, under the cover of Chandler, they received a pass from Chen Xiao, made a small European step around Nene, avoided Camby's block, and made a dunk.

Seeing Camby occupying a favorable defensive position from outside the three-point line, he didn't find a favorable defensive position in the end, but ran to block the shot. Chen Xiao didn't expect this.

Therefore, Jeff Buderick, the head coach of the Nuggets on the sidelines and defensive guru, frowned when he saw Camby's defense.

I really want to block this data!

And just when Jeff Buderick frowned, the Nuggets players on the court attacked again, this time it was Anthony, but this offensive kaleidoscope kid was no longer satisfied with playing Darius Miles.

Instead, he took the initiative to find James.

After the pick-and-roll with Miller, Anthony sat on James directly at the free throw line.

The two "legendary opponents" from high school once again faced each other, causing many American reporters on the scene to exclaim for a while.

"Our protagonist is starting to perform for us!"

"Our little Larry Bird beat the little magician!"

Xiao Zhan is very familiar with Xiao Tiantian. Xiao Zhan knows that Xiao Tiantian has all kinds of offensive methods. He can shoot, shoot, run and jump.

This time, Xiao Zhan did not choose to make a hard post, but retreated a little, and then stretched out his hand to defend, preventing Anthony from breaking through.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's defense, Xiao Tiantian smiled slightly after two three-threats to trick Xiao Zhan into defending, leaned back and threw the ball out of her hand.

Swipe!

In the case of Xiao Zhan's sudden retreat, Anthony almost made a mid-range shot.

4 to 2!

After the hit, Anthony also made a gesture of wiping the gun.

It feels hot!

After wiping and snatching, Anthony also made a gesture of hooking his fingers to Xiao Zhan.

That means, Xiao Mian, if you have the ability, it's like a brother doing you to a brother.

Seeing these two good friends playing like this on the field, Chen Xiao laughed on the sidelines.

How could Xiao Zhan bear it when Xiao Tiantian got rid of her face?

The Cavaliers attacked, and Xiao Zhan also took the initiative to find Anthony in the pick-and-roll. However, he saw Anthony's defensive action of letting the shot go.

Xiao Zhan suddenly felt that he had been fooled.

Be deceived by this kid!

How easy it is for Tu Miller and Leonard. It's really not a good choice to force Tu Anthony. This kid has strength, speed, and flexibility.

As for passing the ball, looking at the sweet smile on Anthony's face, Xiao Zhan couldn't lose face.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a melon in the middle distance.

Bang bang!

Xiao Zhan's mid-range shot hits the iron.

In this round, Xiao Zhan lost the duel between Xiao Zhan and Melon.

If it was in the high school league, Xiao Zhan would definitely beat Melon. As far as the strength of those players in the high school league is concerned, if he is strong, he will be strong. Even if he falls into Anthony's arms, what can other people around him do with him?

But the NBA is different. Nene and Camby next to him are not so easy to mess with.

It has to be said that in the NBA environment, Xiao Zhan's heads-up ability is somewhat limited, but Melon's heads-up ability is less affected by the environment.

After defeating Xiao Zhan in this round of heads-up, Xiao Tiantian was very happy. Yesterday, the suspicion that Artest made was dead, and this match must be brought back from Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chen!

The Nuggets attacked again, and Britney, who defeated Xiao Zhan in the last round, was very floating.

This time the attack did not go to Xiao Zhan, but took the initiative to find Chen Xiao!

"Xiao Chen, I heard that you are immune to the three threats?"

After resisting Chen Ling with her big butt, Xiao Tiantian held the ball with both hands and turned her back to Chen Ling and asked.

Although Chen Xiao couldn't fully see Xiao Tiantian's expression at this time.

But Chen Ling could guess that Xiao Tiantian's expression at this time must be very proud.

Although Chen Xiao didn't know much about Britney than Xiao Zhan knew about Britney.

But I also know that triple threat is one of Britney Spears' favorite tricks.

Chen Xiao is famous in the NBA for not taking three threats, and if he scores with three threats in front of Chen Xiao, is he the number one three threat player in the NBA?

After all, no matter if it was Ke, Pi, Mai or even Qiao, there was no way to deceive Chen Xiao with three threats.

So, Britney, who was very excited at the thought of this, started his performance.

One shake, two shakes, three shakes!

Not a pass, not a breakthrough, not a shot!

After three quick and different shakings, Anthony didn't make any next move, and Chen Xiao in front of him also didn't move.

Anthony's picturesque three-threat action coupled with Chen Xiao's immobility as a mountain made the experts and reporters beside him marvel.

The three-threat attack is beautiful, and the defense is also beautiful!

"However, for the fourth time, the magical boy finally couldn't stand it anymore!"

On the court, Anthony, holding the ball in both hands, swung the ball from the left to the right in a loop, making a move to break through, while Chen Xiao, who was defending him, retreated, and Anthony, who seemed to be about to break through, suddenly stepped back. Step back and shoot!

Seeing the flashy three threats, not to mention the American media reporters on the sidelines, even the Cavaliers audience exclaimed.

There is no doubt that even as a rookie, Anthony's three-threat is definitely the top in the NBA!

Even Chen Xiao, who is the strongest against the three threats, can't stand it!

If what happened next is as described, it is.

but!

The American reporters on the sidelines saw that Chen Xiao, who had taken a step back with his right leg, suddenly rushed forward, jumped, and knocked off Anthony's basketball with a snap, everyone was stunned!

Not only the reporters and audience on the sidelines, but even Britney in the air and Xiao Zhan next to her were stunned.

"Xiao Chen stepped back on purpose just now. It wasn't to prevent a breakthrough, but to block the shot. It was a back start for the purpose of bouncing. Xiao Chen had already predicted that Melo would take a step back!"

Xiao Zhan saw it, how could Xiao Tiantian, who was blocked by Chen Ling, didn't see it.

The reporters and experts nearby all saw it.

The shot after blocking the three threats, this one is amazing!

"How did Wonder Boy do it?"

How did you do it?

Of course it's his God's Eye!

His God's Eye likes this type of repetitive motion attack the most.

You can't see through it once, you can't see it through twice, you can't see it through three times, and you can't see it through the fourth time, right? !

If it is said that before the Eye of God, playing three threats in front of him is just embarrassing.

It will be very embarrassing to attack, and the opponent will not move no matter what.

And when Chen Xiao has the eyes of God, it's not as simple as embarrassment, it's like sending her to death!

I watch you sway, you sway until my God's eyes see through you, then you will be GG Smecta!

So, I, Chen Xiao, who has the eyes of God, Chen sees through, do you think it's a waste of fame? !

"LeBron!"

After Chen Xiao rushed out to block Xiao Tiantian who was taking a step back and shot, she changed from defense to offense without any hesitation and rushed out.

And Xiao Zhan, who heard Chen Xiao's shout, came back to his senses, and quickly helped Chen Xiao get stuck and returned to defend the nearest Miller.

The Nuggets players didn't even think that Britney's three threats didn't work, and they were taken by such a trick.

There is no mental preparation at all.

In the end, the Nuggets players could only watch helplessly as Chen Xiao led Anthony to complete a one-stop dunk!

Watching Chen Xiao dunk once, to be honest, it's not easy!

So the Cavaliers fans at the scene, Mr. Zhang at the scene, and the Chinese audience in front of the TV were very excited!

"Chen Xiao's defense is too good. In the finals last year, Chen Xiao had already shown the world his first-level defense!"

Good guy, Mr. Zhang has already started to build up momentum for Chen Xiaoyi's defense. It's a pity that the Chinese media reporters have limited voices and are alone.

It needs the approval of journalists in the United States.

Not to mention, the reporters and coaches in the United States saw Chen Xiao's defence, which was offensive to Anthony, and they also felt that Chen Xiao's defense was very Dior.

After Chen Xiao's counterattack dunk, the score of the two teams came to 4 to 4!

The Nuggets continued to attack. As a three-threat master, if you tell me that you didn't take the three-threat last time, Xiao Tiantian will definitely not use the three-threat to beat Chen Xiao again.

However, last time you not only refused to eat, but also defended against my triple threat. If I try again, do I still think I am the strongest triple threat player?

This time, when hitting Chen Ling with three threats, Little Melon was more cautious. This time, after a few times of testing, Little Melon tricked Chen Ling's right hand into blocking the shot with a movement of collecting the ball and pulling back.

Seeing Chen Xiao's blocking action, Anthony made a breakthrough to the right, directly passing Chen Xiao's left hand and breaking through Chen Xiao.

However, Anthony did break through Chen Ling, but the ball in his hand was gone!

At this time, Chen Xiao had already rushed up again!

But on the big screen at the scene, the moment Anthony released the ball, Chen Ling took the ball away with his long left arm!

Bang bang!

Another powerful counterattack dunk with both hands!

6 to 4!

The Cavaliers overtook the score!

At this time, Anthony, who was still in the Cavaliers' half, looked at the Cavaliers No. 24 who came back with a smile, and his sweet face was full of dumbfounded expressions.

I don't think I haven't woken up from last night's nightmare of being hooded by Artest?

My invincible triple threat, why is it so vulnerable?

Don't blame Xiao Tiantian for this, assuming that what you think is the ultimate purple skill is directly killed twice in a row, you will do the same!

"Xiao Chen, your ability to defend against three threats is too strong, right? Melo has been fooled by you!"

When Chen Xiao returned to his own half, the excited little Zhan was already a little incoherent with excitement.

Who made Xiao Tiantian so arrogant!

On the other side, Xiao Tiantian saw Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chen like this, with a somewhat resentful expression on her face.

The game continued and the Nuggets continued to attack. This time Anthony still chose to continue to fight Chen Xiao, but this time, Anthony did not dare to use three threats.

Britney, who didn't dare to use the triple threat, would be awkward to attack. He has grown so big, and he really hasn't sealed the triple threat while attacking.

After sitting on Chen Xiao's back and failing to turn around, Anthony pushed back against Chen Xiao's defense.

But looking back, Chen Xiao received a pass from Xiao Zhan, facing Britney who was defending closely, Chen Xiao directly broke through and made an emergency stop jumper, hitting a mid-range hit!

8 to 4!

"This is an attack!"

"Compared to the hesitation of the big ass of the Nuggets, our Xiaobaobao's straightforward offense is the real offense!"

"Xiaobao's attack is too fragile!"

Chen Xiao's emergency stop jump shot after the breakthrough was really beautiful, and it made Anthony very helpless.

Facing Chen Xiao's singles, he can't defend against shots, nor can he defend against bursts.

It's exactly the same as when Xiao Zhan defended him.

I have to say that the current Britney in the NBA is indeed a little overwhelmed by Xiao Zhan.

And now Xiao Chen, it's not some small gram of Xiao Tiantian, but a big gram of Xiao Tiantian!

One thing drops one thing, that's what it says.

Looking at Xiao Tiantian who was a little bewildered by him at this time, Chen Xiao smiled brightly.

"Melo, let's get started!"

start?

Who started with you!

The Nuggets attacked, this time the Nuggets did not hit Britney again, but Leonard broke through James with a small hit and then passed to Nene in the face of Chandler's help defense, Nene singled Dior and made a dunk .

8 to 6!

There are still a lot of players that the Nuggets can attack.

Looking back, although Xiao Tiantian didn't hit Chen Ling, Chen Xiao never said she would let Xiao Tiantian go!

After James dribbled the ball across the half court, he hit the ball to Chen Xiao who had already run to Anthony and sat on Anthony's body.

After receiving the pass from James, Chen Xiao faced Anthony's half-step defensive defense, and made a standard mid-range Joe's fallback and made a hit!

10 to 6!

Seeing Xiao Chen beat Xiao Tiantian so easily on the court, all the American reporters on the sidelines watching the match between the future Magician and Larry Bird were all dumbfounded.

The beginning of this game is indeed the beginning of the magician battle between Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian.

How could it become a special show for the magical boy?

In fact, not only the reporters at the scene found it incredible.

The American audience in front of the TV also looked confused.

Why does our protagonist feel like a supporting role?

So, who is the protagonist?

Why did the game become like this?

Why?

If Chen Xiao knew the problems of the American audience in front of the TV at this time, she would definitely show a naive and cheerful smile and tell them loudly.

"Because I am strong!"

Because, I am stronger than them!
