I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao's "yes" answer to the Miami reporter was very calm.

Stop calmly, finish speaking calmly, and return to defense calmly and slowly.

But such calm can allow everyone to see the turbulent waves underneath the calm.

Because this answer almost made it clear that Chen Xiao was going to have a 'decisive battle' with Rasheed Wallace.

Faced with such humiliation and challenges from Chen Xiao, if Rasheed Wallace does not give his own response, then he will really live up to his role as a "coward and sinister villain".

So when Chen Xiao and this Heat reporter sang along, it really blocked Rasheed Wallace's escape path.

"It's the Wonder Boy blocking Rasheed Wallace's retreat!"

Looking at the uproar of the Pistons fans around them, Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines were really shocked.

When Chen Xiao said before the game that he would play against Rasheed Wallace, most people around the world thought Chen Xiao was joking or bluffing.

Even if he really has to face off against Rashid, that is, one round, two rounds, win and run, a defender really has to face off with a power forward in the paint, as long as he is not an idiot, he will definitely not do this. Unwise thing to do.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao defeated Rashid in a round and wanted to run away, it stands to reason that Rashid would be the one chasing Chen Xiao.

But now!

But it was Chen Xiao who directly chased Rashid and beat him!

"Wonder boy, it's true!"

At this moment, the Pistons fans and the audience in front of the TV, as well as the Pistons players and Pistons head coach Larry Brown, confirmed this.

After confirming this matter, Larry Brown on the sidelines was even more happy. Likewise, he was even more disdainful of the young man's passionate and impulsive characteristics.

As for the Pistons players on the court, Hamilton and the others have very complicated emotions. After all, we are all friends, and friends are seeking death in front of them. There is indeed something about this and that.

And Rashid, no doubt, was furious.

As a Roaring God who is always angry, the most unbearable thing for him is to be looked down upon.

And Chen Xiao's behavior is definitely the most contemptuous behavior towards him.

Am I, Rashid, such a weak person?

How dare you, a mere defender, challenge me in the paint?

What gives you the courage?

Even if you show off your rhetoric at a press conference, if you actually do it in front of me, then I can’t stand it!

If Chen Xiao is not defeated in the paint in this game, will he want to dominate Rashid for the rest of his life? Will he still want to play in the NBA?

You wonder boy are a ruthless person.

Fuck me Rasheed as an outside player for brother's sake.

But, do you think I, Rashid, am not a ruthless person? !

I, Rashid, have been in the NBA for so many years, who hasn’t seen me?

I have never been afraid of center god Sabonis, the most dominant center O'Neal, super power forward Malone, Duncan and Garnett, some of the strongest insiders in basketball history. Why should I be afraid of you, a mere defender?

If you want to fight, then I will fight!

Seeing Rasheed Wallace angrily walking forward on the court, Barkley and Kenny Smith in the courtside commentary box became excited after being surprised.

"Rashid accepted the challenge. This game is great!"

"Not only did Rasheed accept the challenge, but Larry Brown on the sidelines also supported Rasheed to accept the challenge!"

At this moment, audiences across the United States are curious about this inside matchup between inside and outside players that is very rare in NBA history.

"Although we have never seen Magic playing center back then, we can now witness Wonder Boy playing power forward!"

In short, at this moment, the entire palace of Auburn Hills and the American audience who like to watch the excitement in front of the TV became excited.

On the court, Rasheed gave Billups instructions after halftime.

"Leave the next attack to me."

After hearing what Rasheed said, Billups looked at Larry Brown next to him and saw Larry Brown nodded. Billups finally sighed in his heart.

"Chen, there's nothing I can do about it. You brought it on yourself. Let's just relax and be killed by Rashid in this game."

In the more than half of the season when he was a teammate with Rasheed, he had never seen any power forward in the league kill Rasheed.

Although this guy doesn't have much reputation, he is extremely powerful!

In this way, with the tacit understanding of the Cavaliers and Pistons players, Billups handed the basketball in his hands to Rasheed inside.

Rasheed Wallace's offense is very comprehensive, he can post up and is also good at straight-arm shooting.

After Alex English, Rasheed may be the best NBA player to shoot the straight-arm shot.

Generally, straight-arm shots do not jump high and have a flat parabola, but Rashid is different. His straight-arm shots jump not low, and he also wants to take a step back, which is very difficult to defend. Therefore, in this era, Even though Rasheed is not that famous, when it comes to straight-arm shooting, he is the first thing that comes to mind. Obviously, many people think that his straight-arm shooting may be the best one.

Of course, in addition to NBA players, the God of War Liu Yudong is also very good.

However, as an insider, when playing outside, of course he will choose to work behind the back first.

After all, Chen Xiao is famous for his long hands. Wouldn't shooting in front of him reduce Chen Xiao's troubles?

Let’s test this guy’s physical strength first!

Thinking of this, Rasheed Wallace sat on Chen Xiao with his big butt.

Chen Xiao was very uncomfortable sitting there.

Why do they say players with big butts have an advantage in backing up?

Because when the butt is on the back, it is equivalent to a protruding point that can be used to exert force, just like a needle. Players with big butts can concentrate their power on the buttocks. People with the same strength can poke or poke with a needle in their hands. If you poke a needle with your hand, it's not a concept at all.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, and that’s probably what it means.

Therefore, in the NBA, as long as there is a big butt, no one is not confident in his ability to post up.

Even if he is just a role player, he has very powerful post-up skills.

Rashid is certainly more confident in his back-up ability, probably more confident than his straight-arm shooting.

Ordinary inside players can't block their own big butts. Can an outside player who is not very proficient in positioning block his own big butts?

Even though Chen Xiao's strength is very good and his weight seems to be not light, but he has no ability to block positions. In the inside, these are just showy and insignificant!

Tonight, I'm going to use my big ass to poke the guy who dares to challenge me after he rolls over!

To be honest, although Chen Xiao provoked Rashid so much in this game, Rashid still looked down upon Chen Xiao very much.

Anger is anger, contempt is contempt.

In fact, even a cautious head coach like Larry Brown despises Chen Xiao's ability to play inside, let alone a player with Rasheed Wallace's personality.

Therefore, seeing Rasheed hitting Chen Xiao in the back so roughly and rudely, Carlisle on the sidelines was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.

Because of the team's closed training these days, he and the Cavaliers players are very aware of how strong Chen Xiao's defense is when playing power forward.

Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao's defense is better than his offense when playing power forward, and Chen Xiao's offensive methods are still simple.

But defense, in terms of his 90 speed, 90 burst, 110 kilogram weight, 90 confrontation skills, 90 positioning, 90 jumping, 95 strength, 90 blocks, let's put it this way, Chen Xiao's inside defense, From top to bottom, front to back, there are no blind spots!

Unless it's O'Neal or Yao Ming who Chen Xiao really can't guard against. One is too strong and the other is too tall. Others like Rashid are not that tall and not that strong.

If you can't hit in front of Chen Xiao, you will fall into a confrontation with Chen Xiao.

So sorry, you will lose!

Rashid's back-up power is very strong, but it is obvious that he cannot rely on Chen Xiao once or twice.

once!

twice!

three times!

When Rasheed dribbled the ball three times without moving Chen Xiao away, the Pistons fans at the scene were shocked.

"I'm afraid Boy Wonder really weighs 110 kilograms?!"

"Moreover, Wonder Boy's defensive positioning is very solid!"

"Wonder Boy's confrontational ability is so strong!"

When the Pistons fans at the scene exclaimed, the commentators from various countries also exclaimed.

This time Rashid attacked with no retreat.

An attack that must hit!

After all, you want to regain your face.

Therefore, this time Rashid will choose a more secure back. When Rashid chose to back up, he definitely did not expect that he would be stuck like this.

Don't say it's him.

Even Larry Brown on the sidelines and the Pistons players on the court didn't expect it.

This is even more true for the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV.

However, at this time, no one except Anthony in front of the TV noticed that Rasheed Wallace's danger had quietly arrived!

"So familiar, so familiar, so familiar..."

Watching Rashid hitting Chen Xiao on the back on TV, repeating the same action, it looked like he was using a triple threat in front of Chen Xiao.

Thinking of this, Anthony even started to count Rashid.

Once, twice, three times, four times, five times!

"Rashid Wallace is in danger!"

When the five-second back-up time was about to end, Rashid was finally ready to turn around and attack!

"Rashid didn't push away the Wonder Boy, Rashid is going to attack!"

"With Rashid's height, even if he attacks hard, whether it is shooting or hooking, he is a very good choice!"

Barkley and Kenny Smith were commentating on the sidelines.

Larry Brown on the sidelines was frowning.

Rashid's singles were so difficult this time, which somewhat surprised him.

"However, Rashid still has the advantage of height..."

Before Larry Brown could finish these words in his mind, there was a snapping sound on the court!

The moment Rasheed Wallace was about to turn around, Chen Xiao stole the basketball from Rasheed Wallace's hand!

Robbery!

And he snatched the ball away from Rashid's hands!

Almost at the same time, James, who was guarding Billups on the outside, was already charging forward like an assault vehicle!

There was no suspense. After Chen Xiao completed the steal on Rashid, he passed a long pass to James, who completed a very violent counterattack dunk!

Faced with James' impact, Billups lost it halfway.

Isn't this the result of having Billups guard James' fast break one-on-one?

4 to 0!

However, after James' powerful dunk, the audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, and even the live broadcast footage did not look at James.

Instead, they all looked at Chen Xiao and Rashid under the basket.

At this time, the look on Rashid's face was one of incredible shock.

How did he know I would turn around like that?

Not only did he guess the direction of his turn, he even guessed the timing of his turn!

"Why?"

So much so that Rashid asked subconsciously in shock.

"You know nothing of the power of God."

Chen Xiao still didn't look at Rashid, and continued calmly after passing by Rashid.

"This is the power of God."

"The judgment of justice against evil has only just begun."

Good guy, Rashid, who was originally shocked, was almost turned away by Chen Xiao's ridiculous words.

Damn, luck is just luck, and he said it so fresh and refined!

Give me the power of God, I fucking believe your nonsense, I am a fucking puppy!

"snort!"

Facing Chen Xiao who continued to ignore him, Rashid snorted coldly and turned around and left the basket.

With Rashid's angry back, it was definitely impossible to be frightened by Chen Xiao's words.

Tonight's game had just started when Chen Xiao provoked him.

He just played one round and stopped playing. Not to mention that he didn't want to, even Larry Brown would definitely not be willing.

The Pistons continued to attack. At this time, the Pistons fans at the scene had returned from the mentality of watching a show to the mentality of the game. The Pistons fans on the sidelines had already shouted "Sit on him! Sit on him! Sit on him!" Voice.

I have to say that Rashid's back hit just now was really badly guarded.

Pistons fans are a little unyielding for Rasheed.

As we all know, Rashid's back-up stunt is to hit the back a few times, then feint on the left and a fadeaway jumper with a step-back on the right.

In fact, those who have studied Rashid's back attack have no difficulty in guessing the direction of Rashid's turn.

The key is to guess the timing!

Rasheed's move is so famous in the NBA that it has almost never been heard of anyone being able to directly steal the ball as soon as he turns around.

If you want to block him, it's still possible.

But a steal, that’s really unheard of!

Therefore, after Chen Xiao's series of secondary words, Rashid immediately thought it was luck.

In this Pistons' attack, Billups, under the command of Larry Brown, still gave this offensive opportunity to Rasheed.

In the Pistons, generally speaking, no player has so many individual offensive privileges.

But because this game is against Chen Xiao, an outside player, in Larry Brown's opinion, it is a "defensive loophole." If we don't fight against such a defensive loophole, will we wait for the New Year?

He gave up after being defended once by Chen Xiao, so how could he do it?

Fuck him!

This time, Rashid knew he needed to be more cautious.

Although he does not have the ability to sit down on Chen Xiao and create an offensive space, he can sit down a few more times and wait until the opportunity is better before taking action.

Although the NBA now has a five-second post-up rule, to be honest, there are very few whistles.

Just like the offensive three seconds or the defensive three seconds are not blown much.

As long as you are not crazy enough to ignore this rule.

Referees generally don't call calls.

Especially in the playoffs.

This is the experience of old players.

Old players are different from young players. Young players don't know how to use the rules and always follow the rules. But old players like Rashid use the rules to the point of madness.

This time, Rashid was more patient in his back blow, leaning on Chen Xiao seven times, and his movements were much faster, and his turning speed also became faster.

In this attack, Rashid became more careful, but there was a snap!

The steal that was supposed to come came again!

Chen Xiao once again intercepted Rasheed Wallace one-on-one defensively, and then launched a fast break from the backcourt. This time, the Pistons players still did not react to Rasheed Wallace's sudden failure, and finally gave up once again. James completed a fast break dunk!

"The God King is connected, the God King is connected again!"

"Wonderboy steals Rasheed again!"

On the court, the Pistons players watched Chen Xiao and James greet each other from afar, with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

Not only the Pistons players on the court, but also Larry Brown on the sidelines were stunned.

There is really no problem with Rashid's offense in this ball!

Not only did Rashid have no problem with this goal, but Rashid also had no problem with the previous goal.

So careful, so cautious, this is an offense that perfectly fits his coaching style.

However, such an excellent offense resulted in two steals and turnovers.

Is this luck?

At this time, the Pistons audience on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV were making noises.

On the sidelines, Larry Brown gritted his teeth and continued to let Rasheed attack on the court.

But this time, Larry Brown signaled Rasheed Wallace to stop being so careful.

The back-up continues to be a back-up. Although Rashid's straight-arm shooting is powerful, if the back is blocked, half of the offense will be wasted.

Although he was intercepted twice, he definitely couldn't give up like this.

Isn't this a disease of playing inside and outside, giving up post-up play and choosing to shoot?

Whether it was luck or not, you will know after the third time.

I was so cautious the first two times, and if I were more cautious, I could only hit him from behind for five seconds.

Since ink doesn't work, then try it without ink.

Anyway, it is impossible for Larry Brown to give up Rasheed's back play.

The third time, Rasheed Wallace only hit Chen Xiao twice with his back, then swung left and stepped back to take a hasty shot.

Indeed, this time, Chen Xiao failed to steal Rasheed Wallace.

Seeing Rasheed Wallace's very fast offense on TV, Anthony felt a little regretful.

Originally, he thought that Rashidou would be as strong as him, and he would be able to watch a good show.

In fact, Anthony misunderstood Rashid.

Rasheed is very stubborn, but Larry Brown won't let him!

"Chen's defense is very lethal to those players who attack Moji!"

Ever since his triple threat stunt was ruthlessly shattered by Chen Xiao, Anthony has been studying Chen Xiao's defense.

After Anthony's research, he found that Chen Xiao's defense was very targeted against those more ink-stained offensive methods.

For example, the triple threat of outside players and this time the dribbling and back-up play of inside players seem to be very dangerous in front of Chen Xiao.

"When attacking in front of Chen from now on, you must be as fast as possible!"

This is the truth, but to be honest, Chen Xiao is not an ordinary defensive player. With his long hands and an attack without sufficient preparation, he is basically invincible in front of him.

Just like Rashid this time, two back hits basically didn't give him any space. His attack this time was simply to back up and force in front of Chen Xiao!

Bang!

Basketball and iron!

Chen Xiao did not grab the backcourt rebound this time, otherwise it would have been another fast break. Chen Xiao blocked Rashid's position. Chandler grabbed the rebound this time during the fight with Big Ben.

After the Cavaliers grabbed the rebound, it was declared that the Pistons' attack failed again.

Rasheed Wallace hit three times in a row and failed three times!

The inside players back-up the outside players three times in a row, and all three times they failed!

This is much more topical than the Pistons' three simple offensive failures.

The Pistons' offense is not that strong to begin with. There are quite a few who even iron out five times, let alone three times in a row.

The key is that Rasheed, the strongest point of the Pistons' offense, faced the weakest point of the Cavaliers' defense. He played three consecutive singles without any help in defense, and all failed. This was a bit miserable.

In fact, Rashid himself was dumbfounded on the court at this time.

In all his years in the league, he has really never encountered such a situation.

He is a super strong inside player, and he used inside means to beat outside players three times, but all failed!

Now the Pistons players on the court are a little surprised by Rasheed's three consecutive offensive failures.

The Cavaliers players were honestly not surprised at all!

"You really don't know how terrifying Chen's one-on-one defense on the inside is!"

Xiao Zhan, who was dribbling the ball forward, thought in his heart.

Xiao Zhan is shocked now when he thinks of Chen Xiao's behavior in the past few days, which has challenged the entire team in one-on-one defense inside.

Although the offensive ability of the Cavaliers' interior players is not very strong, just because it is not very strong does not mean that it is not possible, especially in singles under the basket.

They can't shoot well, but they can still play in isolation at the basket, although they are not strong.

But no matter how weak he is, he is still an NBA-level player.

However, whether it is Diop or Chandler, basically no one can score in front of Chen Xiao.

He can't play from the back, has no shooting ability, and has no technical skills such as hook shots. You can imagine how badly the Cavaliers' inside line has been defended by Chen Xiao on the offensive end these days.

Rashid is miserable.

You have never seen the world!

Of course, it was precisely because they had never seen the world that they felt that Rashid's opening was miserable enough.

He was humiliated by Chen Xiao at the beginning, and then when the game started, he wanted to take revenge, but was defeated by Chen Xiao in a one-on-one match.

Originally, I wanted to wash away the character image of a "sinister villain who has no strength and only plots to harm others".

But after the game started, it seemed that he became more convinced of this persona.

After Chen Xiao defended Rasheed, the Cavaliers launched a quick attack.

The retreat speed of the piston is also very fast.

But compared to a team like the Cavaliers where the power forward can also run a 100-meter race, it is definitely not that fast.

When Chen Xiao rushed to the frontcourt, at least Ben and Rashid did not come back.

James broke through to the basket aggressively. Facing the help of Prince and Billups' defense, James turned around and passed the ball to Chen Xiao outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Chen Xiao faced Instead of attacking on its own, Hamilton's defense gave the ball to Korver, who was unguarded on the right.

There was no one to defend in the open space. Korver, who was starting his first playoff game in his career, took a deep breath and pushed the basketball out of his hand.

This is the opportunity the boss gave himself!

Be sure to take advantage of it!

A swipe!

Three point hit!

9 to 0!

Only four rounds were played in the first quarter. The Cavaliers and Pistons opened with a duel between Chen Xiao and Rasheed Wallace.

The final result is not a 50-50 split.

Nor was it a lopsided victory for Rasheed.

But Chen Xiao, this outside player, defeated Rashid in a crushing manner!

In terms of the offensive methods of the two teams so far in the first program.

The score between the two teams at this time can be seen as the result of Chen Xiao and Rashid working alone in the paint.

Although Chen Xiao only scored 2 points now.

But all the Cavaliers' scores were either Chen Xiao's scores or Chen Xiao's assists.

It can be said that anyone who is not blind can see how disparate the offensive and defensive results between Chen Xiao and Rashid were in the past four rounds.

"A post player who is an outside player on the road can actually do something that neither Duncan nor Garnett can do?"

Watching the game going on on TV, the faces of Garnett, Duncan, Nowitzki and Webber in front of the TV all had incredible looks on their faces.

They are the four power forwards selected by some NBA media based on the top five guards.

As the four power forwards, they are very aware of Rashid's strength.

It is no problem to say that he is the strongest power forward outside the four power forwards.

To be honest, even they would not have such an advantage when facing Rashid.

There's nothing you can do about it, one thing defeats another.

Chen Xiao's God's Eye skill is like players like Anthony and Rasheed.

Obviously, in the game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, Rashid's offense was almost crushed by Chen Xiao, which made the Pistons very uncomfortable.

The Pistons' offense is not good to begin with, and Rasheed is the core of the team's offense.

With the offensive core almost half-dead, you can hardly expect the Pistons to do much on the offensive end.

And it's not just Rasheed. In this game, the Pistons' other offensive core, Billups, also played very passively against James, and the offense was not easy to play.

The two offensive cores in this game were suddenly attacked and suddenly stalled.

No matter how strong the Pistons' defense is, it is unsustainable.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons at home 89-75.

By the end of the game, the Palace of Auburn Hills was literally dead silent.

Rasheed Wallace, who scored 10 points on 4-for-14 in this game, looked at Cavaliers No. 24, who had his hands raised in the air and had not looked directly at him throughout the game, with shock on his face.

"The power of God..."

Is it really the power of God?

I do not believe!

In fact, except for Chen Xiao and some teenagers with secondary disease, most people don't believe it.

Therefore, after the game, those professionals in the NBA were so crazy!

The craziest thing about the result and process of this game is not the audience and fans, but the NBA players, coaches and general managers who know Rashid's strength!

"How could Rasheed be so miserable?"

"Wonder Boy actually exploded Rasheed?!"

For a time, the entire NBA professional circle was in an uproar.

At this time, Magic head coach Doc Reeves and 76ers boss Iverson were both thinking about one thing.

Although the playoffs are a best-of-seven game, after this game, they really need to think about one thing.

The opponent they think of in the next round is probably not the troublesome Pistons, but the "gift package" recognized by the entire NBA.

If nothing else happens...
