I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Xiao Zhan, are you sure you don't want me to be a guest at your home this Christmas?"

"Hahahaha, no, no need. We won't be at home this Christmas. I have to spend time with Savannah on Christmas Eve. I'm not free this year. Let's talk about it later."

This kid is always like this!

Seeing Xiao Zhan walking away, Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head.

By the way, isn't it just to be a guest at your house? How much rice can I eat from your house?

It can be cut into a ball like this!

Obviously, Xiao Zhan's mother laughed and said she would invite him to her home several times after the game. In the end, Xiao Zhan always used various reasons to stop Chen Xiao.

It was as if he was afraid that Chen Xiao would make his family poor.

When he was on the team, he wasn't a big eater, right?

Or are you afraid that I will eat you?

Although we have a good relationship, I don't know what you are worried about.

After the game against the Hornets, James' mother invited him again.

Isn’t Chen Xiao going to discuss this with Xiao Zhan again?

After all, he has to make an appointment and he can't go to Xiao Zhan's house. Xiao Zhan is not at home. How embarrassing.

But sure enough, this kid had a date with Savannah again that day and couldn't go home. He wouldn't be free. Next time.

Well, I don’t know how many times this will happen next time.

However, Chen Xiao felt that it was not appropriate for him to go to Xiao Zhan's house alone.

When my wife and children come next year, it will be more polite to bring my family as guests.

So Chen Xiao was not so anxious.

I just don’t know if it will make Zhan’s mother a little anxious waiting.

In this case, it would be embarrassing.

After Chen Xiao made 11 of 20 shots at home on December 23 and scored 39 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Hornets, on Christmas Eve the next day, Chen Xiao flew to the NBA with Xiao Zhan and the Cavaliers. to Los Angeles.

Now that his family is not in the United States, he just wants to compete. He has been looking forward to this Christmas match for a long time.

This year's Christmas Day game with the Lakers, the Cavaliers are playing away from home.

Playing away games on Christmas Day is a very inhumane thing in the United States and the NBA.

For example, when I went to Los Angeles this time, Xiao Zhan felt like his wife and children were separated. Is that the case?

Well, if you ask the Chinese people in China who have to buy tickets to go home and reunite with their families during the Spring Festival, you will know whether this is the case.

Don't think that many players are willing to play this kind of game just because the Christmas game is so hot right now.

In fact, just like the Spring Festival Gala, many celebrities are unwilling to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and many stars are not willing to play in the Christmas game.

But, celebrities have the right to refuse the Spring Festival Gala.

Players have no right to refuse the game.

Therefore, whether the players are willing or not, tonight's three Christmas games will definitely be a gluttonous feast for the fans.

The Lakers play the Cavaliers, and Kechen's scoring title battle is over.

The Magic beat the Nets, a battle between Shark and Buddha's No. 1 player in the league.

The five-star Mavericks beat the Kings, a showdown with the strongest offense.

It can be said that the six teams appearing in the Christmas game tonight are the six most watched teams in the NBA, and the players of these six teams also include a group of the most popular players in the NBA today.

Let’s not talk about the other two sets of matches, let’s talk about the Cavaliers’ away game against the Lakers.

Chen Xiao and Kobe, one averages 32 points per game and the other averages 37 points per game. They are the top two players in the NBA scoring list.

In today's NBA, although there are various lists, there is no doubt that the scoring list is definitely the one that gets the most attention.

Take CCTV's NBA news as an example. After broadcasting the NBA news, in addition to the record rankings, only the scoreboard will be listed separately.

Compared to other statistics, fans really care more about scoring.

Therefore, even though Ko's record with the Lakers this season is very impressive, Ko's popularity has skyrocketed this season.

So far, he's averaging 37 points per game. Do you think he's joking?

Almost every game is almost 40 points.

After breaking up with O'Neal, O'Neal had a good life with the Nets. If he had a bad life with the Lakers, wouldn't it make O'Neal a joke?

Since the record cannot be harvested, then the data can be harvested!

Therefore, Boss Ke is really working hard this season.

Last season broke Jordan's consecutive 40+ record. This season, Kobe is aiming at Joe's record of 37.1 points per game.

Hmm, it may be a little embarrassing to say that Brother Ke has been in the NBA for so many years, but he actually has to look at the statistics of third-year Brother Qiao to surpass him.

So about this matter, the fat man O'Neal often made sarcastic remarks to Boss Ke in the media.

"I'm on the road trying to surpass Michael's championships, and Bryant is trying to surpass third-year Michael Jordan's points per game. I'm moving forward, and Kobe is moving backward."

After finishing speaking, O'Neill added another sentence.

"By the way, third grader Michael broke his leg the year before."

I have to say, this damn fat guy is really good at mouthing. If Boss Ke really wants to pout, he won't be able to pout.

What he said made Mr. Ke very angry.

O'Neill said this directly, as a college student, even if you can do math problems, how can you beat Einstein who is in the third grade of elementary school?

Why did you come back after you broke up with me?

Look at your brother Shark’s pursuit, and then look at your own pursuit, aren’t you ashamed?

To be honest, what Ao Pang said was quite a blow to Boss Ke.

Anyone who knows Boss Ke's character knows how he can stand this.

And this is where Ao Pang’s mouth is poisonous. What I say is the truth. If you can’t stand it, you can still hit me. Just hold it in!

Boss Ke almost suffered internal injuries from being suppressed by this damn fat man.

Being held back by this fat man makes him feel so uncomfortable, so he can only turn his discomfort into strength, take crazy shots, and score crazy points.

So far this season, Ko has averaged a terrifying 29 shots per game.

He averaged 29 shots per game and scored 36.9 points per game. He ranked first this season in terms of number of shots and points per game.

Kobe has taken so many shots and scored so many points this season. NBA fans around the world are happy, and fans in Los Angeles are also happy. But there is something about Kobe who is not very happy.

If most of Ke's scores can be converted into assists for Ke, Mr. Ke might be happier.

But you also know that most of Ke's scoring does not rely on assists.

Even if Big Brother Ji passes the ball to Big Brother Ke, Big Brother Ke will not immediately catch the ball and shoot. Big Brother Ke's offensive rhythm is completely different from that of Chen Xiao. Big Brother Ke likes to show off his waist strength.

After catching the ball, he likes to dribble twice and then spin twice.

The rhythm has been found, but the assists from Boss Ji are gone.

This whole thing, do you think Boss Ji is uncomfortable?

Even in pick-and-rolls, Ke's catching and shooting are not crisp.

Therefore, Boss Ji will become a Buddha.

I thought that when he came to the Lakers this season and Kobe was replaced by Chen Xiao, his assists might be able to go up. Who would have thought that he would almost be cut in half.

Let's not talk about assists.

Let’s talk about catching the ball, because Kobe’s hands are not as long as Chen Xiao’s, and his palms are not as big as Chen Xiao’s. This leads to the fact that Kobe’s catching ability is not as good as Chen Xiao’s.

Therefore, after Kobe was double-teamed or one-on-one, many of the balls could not be passed to Kobe.

The end result is that Boss Ji threw it away by himself.

This has caused Big Brother Baseball's shooting percentage to return to before liberation this season.

Assists have been cut in half, shooting percentages have dropped, and the record is mediocre. Do you think, as the regular season MVP last season, is there a lot of pressure on Key?

That pressure is quite high.

This combination of Ji Boss and Ke Boss.

When it was formed, many people said it was the strongest backcourt in history.

After playing a third of the season, many experts finally discovered that the strongest backcourt in history was Chen Xiao and Kidd from last season's playoffs.

Ji Chen is the king, Ji Chen is the most suitable and the strongest.

Corky seems to have no match as imagined.

Of course, this is one-sided because Boss Ji feels that Boss Ke is not a good match for him.

But for Boss Ke, that's not the case. Boss Ke feels that Boss Ji is very suitable for him.

Fisher's super enhanced version ah.

I've never used such a strong dribble guard!

But the key is that Boss Ji doesn't want to be a dribbling defender, hahahaha.

Ahem, on such a happy day as Christmas, even though Boss Ji felt so uncomfortable and reluctant, he was still very happy when he saw Chen Xiao.

Besides, Boss Ji was really happy to see Chen Xiao again tonight.

By the way, Boss Ke was also very happy when he saw Chen Xiao.

Everyone has such a good relationship that during the Sprewell Eagle County incident, everyone almost did it.

"Chen, let's compare our scores in this game to see who among us is the scoring leader."

The boss of the pre-game department said with a very confident smile to Chen Xiao.

It can be seen that now Kobe Bryant is really confident in scoring. No wonder Chinese reporters always say to him: "Kobe Bryant only scored 40 points again, Chen Xiao, your chance has come!"

but……

"Idol, what's the point of scoring? Our game is not about scoring, but about Mamba spirit. Let's see if you, the Black Mamba, are more Mamba, or if I, the Killer Mamba, are more Mamba."

Than Mamba Spirit?

After being stunned for a moment, Kobe smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing Kobe's same confidence, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

He Ke's boss competes with Mamba Spirit, and his idol competes with the true meaning of the Wolf King. This is Chen Xiao's lifelong wish!

"Finally, I can feel the Mamba aura of Boss Ke up close!"

After Chen Xiao exchanged greetings with his bosses Ke and Ke before the game, he was very happy to return to the Cavaliers.

Seeing Chen Xiao so happy, Xiao Zhan was also very curious.

After hearing what Chen Xiao said, Xiao Zhan was speechless.

What is Mamba Mentality?

Isn't it Xia Ji Eight Dozens?

Seeing Chen Xiao who was so excited at this time, Xiao Zhan had a little bit of a bad feeling about this game.

As the players from the two teams exchanged pleasantries and the warm-up ended, the starting players of the two teams for this game were played in front of the TV.

The starting lineup for the home team Lakers is center Battelle, power forward Boozer, small forward Devin George, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Kidd.

The Cavaliers' starters are center Chandler, power forward Darius Miles, small forward Chen Xiao, shooting guard Crawford, and point guard James.

Although this game is obviously the Cavaliers playing the Lakers, but look at the starting players of the two teams, how many of them are old friends of the Nets?

The Lakers have five starters and three Nets players from last season.

So after Chen Xiao stood on the court, he looked really friendly to the Lakers players.

Of course, Teacher Zhang on the sidelines and the Chinese fans in front of the TV also felt extremely friendly.

This season, the Cavaliers and Heat are the first and second home teams for Chinese fans.

Behind these two teams, the Lakers are definitely the third home team.

After all, Bugs is starting for the Lakers, and Bugs has performed very well for the Lakers this season.

As the Lakers' starting center, he can average 30 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

Let me tell you, compared to Boss Ji, Bago is actually more suitable for Boss Ke.

Bago can provide a lot of cover for Kobe when attacking, and he can also become a transfer station for Kobe Bryant's passes. Bago can pass the ball, shoot, and can even shoot to the three-point line. Bago's three-pointers this season The field goal percentage is 34%, which is very good for a center in this era.

Bago, who is next to Brother Ke this season, is a bit like a beggar's wife in history.

Therefore, it is very comfortable to partner with Bago and Brother Ke.

Of course, Bago is also very comfortable partnering with Kobe, because by Kobe's side, his passing, shooting, and all-round offensive abilities are put to use.

It can be said that when Bago was 28 years old, he finally felt like he had found his true love.

Career has also entered another stage.

As the Nets' starting championship center in the Finals, his status as a role player in the NBA is confirmed, and his job in the NBA will definitely be no problem in the future.

In the NBA, even if the starting center for the championship cannot play, the team will provide him with a contract, and there will definitely be no problem with the basic salary for food and clothing.

After having enough food and clothing, should we have higher pursuits?

Bugs found this pursuit with the Lakers this season.

The championship has been won, and Bago now hopes to play one or two full NBA seasons as the team's starter, then his career will be perfect.

To be honest, Bage had such an opportunity in his NBA career. When he left China for Denver, he never expected it.

Therefore, Bago really cherishes such an opportunity now.

By the way, there is no other meaning. This season, after O'Neal traveled east and David Robinson retired, the players competing for the starting center spot in the Western Conference All-Stars are Brad Miller, Divac and Nesterovich. et al.

Hmm, really just mentioning it in passing, it doesn't mean anything.

Therefore, many people feel that the peak of Bago's career has not yet reached.

Back to the game, in the middle circle, the proud Bago is jumping the ball with Chandler.

As far as the jump ball is concerned, no matter how proud Bago is, he can't be Chandler's opponent.

Chandler succeeded in jumping the ball, and Xiao Zhan advanced with the ball. After Xiao Zhan passed halftime, his opposing defensive player in this game was Kidd.

Facing Kidd, the best defensive player in the NBA last season, James took a quick look and tried to see if he could crush Kidd like he crushed other point guards.

Apparently, the attempt didn't work out well.

Since the Lakers dare to use James to defend James in this game, they must be confident.

In fact, Baseball has always been very good at guarding heavy players, and he can even defend power forwards.

On the contrary, it was lightweight players like Iverson and Nash who made Big Brother a little scared.

After Boss Ji's offense was blocked, Xiao Zhan decisively gave the ball to Chen Xiao instead of picking and rolling with Crawford.

I have to say that Xiao Zhan's golf quotient is really high.

Because Xiao Zhan saw that it was useless to pick and roll with Crawford.

"Although the Lakers' record this season is not that outstanding, their perimeter defense this season is extremely good!"

Big brother, Kobe, needless to say, the 2.03 meter small forward Devin George is also very good defensively.

James and Crawford used pick-and-rolls and put Devin George in front of him. In fact, the effect was not much worse.

As for the two inside pick-and-rolls with the team...

Because Darius Miles and Chandler don't have the ability to shoot, it must be a pick-and-roll attack.

If the opponent's inside line is a light inside line like Marshall, Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao can still use their strength to rush past before the attack, but if the opponent's inside line is like Bago and Boozer...

It's better to wash up and sleep.

Therefore, after hitting the ball into Chen Xiao's hand and seeing Chen Xiao standing next to Kobe with the ball in one hand, without any intention of making any tactics, James was honestly shocked.

Did Xiao Chen already know that this game against the Lakers could only be played in singles?

If this is the case, Xiao Chen is amazing!

Obviously, Xiao Zhan was thinking too much.

He was not a fortune teller, so how could he have calculated this?

Chen Xiao didn't know that Xiao Zhan's tank breakthrough couldn't break through Boss Ji.

Before the game, Chen Xiao was more energetic than Mamba with the boss of Ke. She simply really wanted to be more energetic than Mamba with the boss of Ke!

In the Nets last season, he was not the boss. He couldn't do whatever he wanted on the court. Even if the boss stood in front of him, he couldn't mess around.

But now, it's different. He, the team boss, can do whatever he wants on the court!

On the court, Chen Xiao held the ball with one hand. Chen Xiao motioned for the others to pull away. When Chen Xiao came up and challenged Boss Ke, the Los Angeles fans at the scene were excited.

Chen Xiao is not a nobody.

Chen Xiaoke scored 39 points in the finals last season and conquered the people here in Los Angeles!

In the hearts of Chinese fans, Chen Xiao is the well-deserved number one player in the NBA.

In the hearts of Los Angeles fans, Chen Xiao is definitely one of the top five players in the NBA.

Chen Xiao VS Kobe.

This got Los Angeles fans excited.

Seeing Chen Xiao's handsome hand holding the ball, Kobe gritted his teeth in his heart, but his face was unusually heavy.

Constantly giving Chen Xiao physical confrontation.

After Chen Xiao played cool tricks on Kobe for a while, facing Kobe who was constantly pressing, Chen Xiao dribbled with his right hand. After confronting Kobe, he failed to rush past Kobe and immediately turned his back to the left. Kobe A very beautiful sliding step was once again blocked in front of Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao's forward path was once again blocked.

If Chen Xiao's long-distance two-point ability was as good as Iverson's, he would have a chance to make a shot when Kobe slides in front of him.

Iverson's butterfly pass through the flower to connect with two points from a long distance is really hard to guard against.

This is why long-range two-pointers are different from mid-range and three-pointers.

Two points from long distance is a very suitable position for sudden attacks.

This is a connecting position between the opponent's defense. No matter how good the opponent's defense is, there will always be an opportunity here.

If you don't want to shoot a three-pointer because it's too far, and you can't hold the ball to the mid-range position, then two-point shooting from a long distance is a good middle choice.

Of course, many people feel that shooting from this position is too bad.

But Iverson used this position to win four scoring titles.

One-third of Iverson's shots per game come from this position.

With Chen Xiao's scoring ability at this position, Kobe will definitely not shoot from this position in this singles game.

After determining that he had no chance to break through Kobe, Chen Xiao retreated directly from the three-point line to outside the three-point line, and then jumped high!

Leap right, turn left, step back with your hips, and take off!

Chen Xiao's action was very smooth!

Bend your legs, lean back, and take action!

In addition, after taking off, Chen Xiaona and Jordan were exactly the same as picturesquely falling back. Regardless of whether this was a cancer against Kobe Bryant's defense, no, whether Mamba scored in singles or not, at the very least, the Lakers fans at the scene were shocked. call.

As for Chen Xiao's one-on-one shot against Kobe, James on the other side found it difficult to watch.

It's the kind of difficulty that is extremely difficult.

The kind of shot Chen Xiao took this time was a shot that he felt he might never make in his life.

Bang!

The basketball thrown by Chen Xiao drew a beautiful arc and hit the basket. Bago blocked Chandler, and Boozer grabbed the backboard.

This time the singles failed to score, a smile appeared on Kobe's face. Boy, see it, this is Uncle Ko's single defense strength!

Last season, it didn't count if you moved around to hit Mr. Ke. One-on-one, Mr. Ke was not a coward!

but……

This kid was actually laughing too.

Kobe saw the expectant look in Chen Xiao's eyes. After being stunned for a moment, the smile returned to his face again.

The Lakers attacked, Kidd dribbled the ball across half court, Kobe asked for the ball, and Chen Xiao defended alone.

After receiving a pass from Kidd, Kobe faced Chen Xiao's defense and also did not call a pick-and-roll.

After dribbling the ball from the front, Kobe leaned on Chen Xiao with his back. After a shake to the left, Kobe went all the way to the right.

However, Chen Xiao was not fooled, so when faced with Chen Xiao who was following him all the way, without any chance, Brother Ke suddenly stopped at the extension line on the right side of the free throw line and leaned back elegantly to resist Chen Xiao's defense. He threw the basketball in his hand.

"Kobe's shot is even harder than Chen Xiao's shot!"

"Of course, equally beautiful!"

Bang!

The basketball thrown by Kobe hit the front edge and was short.

Tyson Chandler goes straight to the rebound.

On the court, the Cavaliers attacked. This time, Chen Xiao chose to dribble the ball directly by himself.

Chen Xiao was not affected by the previous attack and once again held the ball to beat Kobe Bryant. After Chen Xiao dribbled the ball away from Kobe Bryant from the top of the three-point line, he then turned around and broke through.

Seeing Chen Xiao turn around and break through, Kobe immediately slid up the diagonal line.

This time, Kobe didn't slide down, but up. This shocked many experts in front of the TV.

But soon, Barkley exclaimed.

"A very smart defense. Kobe realized that the Wonder Boy rarely shot long-range two-pointers. This time the Wonder Boy would not step back after being blocked from a long distance, but would directly turn around and break out!"

I have to say that Boss Ke is indeed smart, and this has not fooled him.

In other words, in such a duel between experts, your technical shortcomings will be greatly emphasized.

Chen Xiao does have a shortcoming in one area between three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Therefore, Kobe took advantage of Chen Xiao's shortcomings in defense this time.

Of course, you also have to admit that Boss Ke's single defense is really good. Even if Chen Xiao has a blind spot in this area, not everyone can catch it.

Facing Kobe's defense that was still on his face, Chen Xiao once again showed his Mamba spirit!

Don’t hesitate, just throw it!

Chen Xiao threw the ball so decisively that even Kobe was shocked.

There was a clang, and amid the exclamations of the Lakers fans in the audience, it was another iron!

Chen Xiao's two attacks in the opening scene were both very picturesque.

But the result was a double iron.

Looking back, the Lakers attacked. This time Kobe's waist twist was even more fancy. Chen Xiao's defensive marking and positioning were not as strong as Kobe's, so it gave Kobe a certain space to take action.

but!

Chen Xiao's arms are too long. Even if Kobe is given a little space, Kobe may not be able to use it.

Bang!

After Chen Xiaomei's picturesque double iron, Kobe followed up with a picturesque double iron!

bang!

bang!

bang!

The game was still going on, and at this time, Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines, the Lakers fans on the sidelines, the fans in front of the TV, and even James and Key on the court were all stunned.

Especially Xiao Zhan.

"Is this their Mamba Mentality?"

This spirit is singing tonight...
