I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 313 The Four Crazy People in the East!

In November's Player of the Month C-level potential card, Chen Xiao improved his steal attribute from 75 to 80.

Stealing skills have been enhanced, and defensive aggressiveness has been enhanced. Compared with blocking attributes, Chen Xiao's steal attribute of 1.4 per game this season is really a bit inferior to Chen Xiao's wingspan and man-marking attributes.

You know, Chen Xiao's marking is 90, his wingspan is 2.21 meters, coupled with 95 strength and explosiveness, and 90 confrontation skills, it is really unreasonable that Chen Xiao's steal data is less than 2 per game.

Therefore, the main reason is that the tackling skills are not good enough and the aggression is not enough.

The games in November are over and the games in December have begun. The Cavaliers' first game in December, which may surprise you, is still the Suns.

The Suns started the season very well, with 12 wins and 2 losses in November, ranking first in the Western Conference.

In the entire month of November, they lost to the Cavaliers and Kings.

You read that right, they are the Kings who collapsed this season.

When the game between the Kings and Suns started, the Suns had 4 wins and 1 loss, and the Kings had 1 win and 4 losses, but in the end the Suns still lost 111-113 at home.

Facing the Kings' fast attack and Princeton's passing and cutting, the Suns' three major players were a little slow and unable to defend.

In the end, in a confrontation, the Suns lost.

They didn't lose much, but they still lost. It can be seen that although the Suns are strong, they still have a barrier.

The Suns are really strong against those traditional teams. O'Neal, Stoudemire, and Rasheed are there, plus an excellent shooter like Quentin Richardson and a penetrating player like Barbosa. The strong Wade Jr. is something that most traditional teams can't really control.

You know, the Suns are a team that has been blacklisted by David Stern this season, and the Suns' schedule in November is not that good.

However, they achieved a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, which shows how valuable this record is.

The opponents of the Suns' 14 games in November include the 76ers, Nets, Cavaliers, Kings, Mavericks, Lakers, Bucks and other powerful teams in the East and West. This accounts for half of them, and the remaining half. He is not an easy person to deal with either.

Under such circumstances, he led the team to a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, and his own statistics were also very good, 25+11+2.5 blocks. However, the best player of the month was lost to two young players, Ron Howard and Arenas. Young people are gone, how uncomfortable do you think O'Neal is?

It doesn't really matter whether you are the best or not, the most important thing is that your achievements are not recognized.

This season the Suns are clearly outperforming the entire Western Conference.

The Timberwolves, who reached the Finals last season, are somewhat weak this season, mainly because Sprewell drifted away after an outstanding season, while Cassell suffered from minor injuries. Timberwolves guard Troy Hudson, who scored soaring points with Kobe Bryant in the game, has felt a little fulfilled in life and no longer works hard after signing a big contract.

Fortunately, Garnett is also supported by Szczerbiak, who seems to be having the best performance of his career this season. Otherwise, the Timberwolves will really become a lone wolf team this season.

However, in the face of such a big dilemma, Garnett, who has understood the spirit of the Wolf King, is not depressed. Without understanding the spirit of the Wolf King, Garnett is very fragile and easily frustrated and angry. But now, he has understood the spirit of the Wolf King. Garnett, who has the king's spirit, silently leads the team, licks the team's wounds, and waits tenaciously, "I will come back!" 'Moment.

Therefore, although the Timberwolves, like the Kings, are not in a good situation, they have not collapsed yet because of Garnett's support. Maybe they will still have a certain fighting capacity in the playoffs.

But overall, in the Western Conference this season, the Suns are already outperforming.

Maybe the only one who can match the Suns is the Spurs, and the Spurs are a group of baby soldiers. So, do you think O'Neal will like the Spurs' baby soldiers?

Of course I don't like it.

So the new season has only been played for one month. Although he did not win the best game of the month, O'Neal is now very motivated.

Gund Arena, home of the Cavaliers, Cleveland.

The Cavaliers, the league's No. 1 team, faced off against the Suns, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference. This was a battle that attracted national attention.

In the warm-up before the game, Chen Xiao continued to endure Zhan's mother's hostility towards him.

By the way, Chen Xiao used to feel that he would be embarrassed when the team played away games, and Zhan's mother would always stare at him in the hotel.

But later, after five consecutive away games and playing home games, Chen Xiao realized that playing at home was more embarrassing than playing on the road.

Playing away games, Zhan’s mother really may not be able to buy away tickets.

For the games between Chen Xiao and James, two of the hottest young superstars in the NBA, the away games were all sold out. The price of the tickets didn't matter, but you can't buy tickets even if you have money, especially front row tickets.

Therefore, in the away game, James' mother only harasses other Cavaliers players in normal times.

But at home...

Not only does Zhan's mother care about the team during regular training, but also when the team plays, Zhan's mother still cares about her. This one is really lingering.

"Charles, there have been rumors in the Cavaliers that James' mother Gloria has a bad relationship with Wonder Boy. It seems that this is not groundless."

Kenny Smith finished with a smile, and Charles Barkley smiled.

We are not blind, how could we not see it?

By the way, everyone is actually not blind. During James's away game, no one could see his dissatisfaction with Chen Xiao. Cavaliers players would not tell anyone about matters in the hotel or locker room.

But in the Cavaliers' home game, this is too obvious...

The Cavaliers have played a lot of games at home since November, and there are also a lot of national live broadcasts. In addition, James' mother Gloria is a very 'bright' and 'high-profile' person, even if She didn't say anything next to her, she just looked at Chen Xiao fiercely, and everyone could see it.

In addition, Gloria will often be interviewed. As long as Chen Xiao's question is mentioned, no matter how well Gloria controls her emotions, for those reporters, they want to find some differences in her words. The stuff is still too easy.

In short, the conflict between Chen Xiao and Gloria has become public.

"Generally, NBA teams have conflicts between players. It is rare to see conflicts between players' families and players like Gloria and Wonder Boy."

Barkley finished with a smile, and Kenny Smith added: "Wonderboy and LeBron are still inseparable, and the two of them don't seem to be affected at all."

By the way, Gloria had a problem with Chen Xiao, and the reason why the two were at odds with each other was widely known across the country, and the reason why was deliberately spread by the media controlled by Nike.

Therefore, this relationship is a solid one.

Even O'Neal in Phoenix knows this.

"Sooner or later this season they are going to fall apart!"

O'Neal said fiercely, while Rashid and Stoudemire on the side nodded secretly.

Everyone knows that James is a filial son, and this is also the image that James has always had outside. James' mother and Chen Xiao have a bad relationship. Can the relationship between James and Chen Xiao last?

We can be inseparable now, but we will definitely fall apart in the future.

Thinking of this, O'Neal felt very happy.

The Cavaliers were manipulated by him during the offseason, and the team's path was deflected.

Now because of Gloria's intervention, the Cavaliers may fall apart at any time.

He was so happy to see this kid like this.

It is best if Chen Xiao and James fight each other when they are falling apart. This is the best.

These two boys are not good people!

But it's obvious that O'Neal underestimated the relationship between Chen Xiao and James.

Although Gloria, Nike and Xiao Zhan's agent have been causing trouble.

But Xiao Zhan has indeed been enduring this huge pressure, and his attitude towards Chen Xiao has never changed.

"Chen, there's really not much I can do about my mother right now, I'm sorry."

James was ashamed.

Chen Xiao patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder and shook his head with a smile: "I didn't care."

Although Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed about Gloria, if he cared, he really didn't care.

Isn't it just being stared at every day~ Well, he and Xiao Zhan have nothing shameful, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's better to stay away from this woman.

And Xiao Zhan has indeed done a very good job.

You can't let the filial little Zhan and Gloria sever ties, can you?

Chen Xiao actually hoped that Xiao Zhan could sever ties with Gloria.

Chen Xiao has now discovered that this woman is an idiot, a bad one will ruin Xiao Zhan's career sooner or later.

Even if you can't sever ties with her, it's best not to be influenced by her at all.

but……

This is really difficult.

No matter how stupid she is, she is Xiao Zhan's favorite mother and the person who loves Xiao Zhan the most, which is difficult for you to deal with.

Therefore, the hardest thing is not him and the Cavaliers players, but the hardest thing is Xiao Zhan himself.

Now Xiao Zhan's pressure is actually very, very high.

How could Chen Xiao be putting unnecessary pressure on Xiao Zhan?

What if Xiao Zhan is crushed?

Xiao Zhan is actually a very sensitive person.

A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face when he felt that Chen Xiao was really not angry because of this incident.

After losing Game 3 to the Heat in November, the Cavaliers are now on an 11-game winning streak.

The opponent Suns in this game has won 8 consecutive victories.

Both teams are in very good shape.

When David Stern and the league were arranging the schedule, I am afraid that neither the Cavaliers and the Suns would have such a good record this season.

With the schedule of the Cavaliers and the Suns so high, David Stern and the league hope that Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers will slap the Suns a few more times.

According to David Stern's plan, the newly formed Suns team will definitely be in poor condition at the beginning of December after being hit hard by him in November. At this time, letting the Cavaliers go up again will be a slap in the face. Only then can I relieve my anger.

It's just that David Stern didn't expect the Suns' record to be so good.

Not only did it not collapse in November, but it also directly reached the top of the West.

However, although the Suns' performance in November surprised and incredible David Stern, in this game between the Cavaliers and the Suns, the Cavaliers successfully completed David Stern's plan and defeated 120 at home. Defeated the Phoenix Suns 111.

Judging from the way the Cavaliers are playing this season, the Cavaliers are a team with a very, very high ceiling.

Especially when facing a team that is no match for itself, the Cavaliers' offensive ceiling is extremely high.

Because there are two outstanding breakout players in Chen Xiao and James, as well as outstanding shooters such as Korver, Barry, Mo Mo, and Raheem, if the opponent cannot match the Cavaliers' points, he will accidentally , that is the storm.

What the opponent suddenly faces is probably Cleveland's blast!

Take this game as an example. In this game, facing the Suns' three big players and two small boys, the Cavaliers' big one and four small boys threw 18 three-pointers crazily.

The Cavaliers players were in very good shape in this game.

Chen Xiao made 10 of 19, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in the game.

Xiao Zhan made 9 of 16. He scored 21 points in the game and also had 6 rebounds and 13 assists.

In addition to Chen Xiao and James, Brent Barry made 6 of 11 in this game, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 15 points. Korver made 5 of 12, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. Scored 16 points.

In addition, Rahim and Xiao Mo also scored in double figures.

In this game, six Cavaliers players scored in double figures. This is the first time for the Cavaliers this season.

On the opposite side of the Suns, O'Neal made 12 of 19 free throws and 6 of 9 free throws, scoring 30 points.

Stoudemire was 9 of 17 and scored 22 points, Rahim was 6 of 19 and scored 15 points, and Quentin Richardson was 3 of 10 and scored 11 points.

Barbosa was 7 of 17, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 17 points.

In this game, the Suns' offense was actually very good, but because you couldn't guard me and I couldn't guard you, I hit 18 three-pointers and you hit 9 three-pointers. The difference was just Big.

Unless the Cavaliers are in bad form, or the Suns are in very good form, it will be difficult for the Suns to defeat the Cavaliers in such an offensive mode.

Therefore, since the Cavaliers have been playing this season, many people are saying that Chen Xiao and James, the two front and back wheels of the Cavaliers, have really taken the Cavaliers to the sky, and the Cavaliers have really become the Cavaliers. Team.

The Cavaliers have played very well this season.

In this league that is still mainly defensive, this season, the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao and James, the Raptors led by Nash, the Bucks led by Ray Allen, and the Nets led by Carter have been The media and fans affectionately call them the "Four Crazy East".

These four teams went crazy, it was really fatal!

One is more crazy than the other.

In the game between the Cavaliers and the Bucks in November, the two sides contributed a total of 32 three-pointers in the game. It was really a rain of three-pointers, so terrifying.

Of course, in the end the Cavaliers still won with Chen Xiao's lore.

Therefore, regardless of the excellent record of the Cavaliers in November, the East is really hidden.

The Bucks this season are very strong. It should be said that the Eastern Four, Cavaliers, Bucks, Raptors, and Nets are all very strong!

These four teams, plus the Heat and Magic, are now the top six teams in the Eastern Conference.

On December 2, the Cavaliers came to Highland Denver as a guest to challenge the Denver Nuggets away.

The three brothers Chen Xiao, James, and Anthony have all had a good season this season. The worst thing the four brothers have had this season is the poor cannon in the Bobcats.

As a rookie, Anthony led the Nuggets to the playoffs last season.

And this season, Nuggets fans have more expectations for Anthony and the team.

And if you use expectations, this season, Anthony did not respond to the expectations of the fans.

Anthony and James averaged almost 21 points per game last season, both at the supernova level.

This season, James has averaged 27.2 points per game, while Anthony is still averaging 20 points per game.

This does not include James averaging 10+ assists per game.

James has now achieved superstar data for two years, and Anthony still has this kind of All-Star-level data.

According to Anthony's potential, he shouldn't improve so little in the second year.

In particular, Anthony's three-point shooting percentage has dropped this season, and it has dropped a lot.

Why can't Xiao Tiantian keep up with Xiao Zhan's progress?

Except for reasons of talent.

More importantly, this summer, Britney played on the dream team.

Although most of the blame for the failure of the Dream Team fell to Larry Brown.

But Anthony spent the summer dwelling on the failure of the Dream Team.

There is simply no time or mood to improve one's strength.

In the NBA, a place full of talent.

If you don’t have a system to stabilize your attributes, then you’re going to fall back if you don’t advance.

In this way, Team 6 of Sweet Dreams has been cheated until now.

Seeing Xiao Tiantian in such a distressing state this season, Xiao Zhan sympathized with her and felt lucky at the same time.

Thanks to Xiao Chen for helping me get out of a huge pit!

In this way, facing Britney, who was not in a good situation, the Cavaliers defeated the Nuggets 102-73 on the road.

Last season, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian were one-on-one, and Xiao Tiantian had the advantage.

In this game, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian were one-on-one, and Xiao Zhan already had the advantage.

In this game, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian had a lot of one-on-one. Xiao Zhan made 8 of 17, scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, while the opposite Xiao Tiantian shot 6 of 20, 14 points and 4 Rebounds, 0 assists.

The outcome is almost clear.

Of course, Chen Xiao was naturally the best in this game. He made 11 of 22 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 33 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 4 blocks.

When the Cavaliers team was not in good condition due to playing on the plateau, Chen Xiao used his defense to collapse the Nuggets' offense.

This is more important than Chen Xiao's contribution on the offensive end.

At the post-game press conference, because the opponent was Anthony, the first Dream Six player to attack Larry Brown, and the relationship between Chen Xiao, James, and Anthony, the reporters of course asked a lot of questions about Dream Six. Questions for Team Six.

Of course Chen Xiao praised Britney, for example, if Larry Brown reused Britney, if the Dream Team had Xiao Zhan, the Chinese team might not be able to win, etc.

Hearing what Chen Xiao said, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian were a little embarrassed.

Due to Larry Brown's stubbornness, this year's Mengliu will lose no matter what they do against the Chinese team.

Even the reporters at the scene felt a little confused when they heard Chen Xiao say this.

With the strength shown by Britney right now, you said that Larry Brown can change everything by reusing him. Why don't we believe it so much?

After defeating the Nuggets on the road, the Cavaliers return to Cleveland on December 4 and will face the Raptors, currently the fifth team in the Eastern Conference, at home.

After back-to-back away games against the Denver Nuggets in Plateau, they will soon play the Raptors at home. This is really a desperate schedule for the Cavaliers.

There is nothing easy for the "Four Crazy in the East" to deal with this season.

On December 4th, the Gund Arena was filled with people.

At this time, on the court...

Milicic, Marshall, Josh Smith, Lagabiere, Nash

Chandler, Raheem, James, Chen Xiao, Xiao Mo

Players from both teams seemed to be running wildly on the court without braking.

You fight faster, I fight faster than you.

Your attack only lasts for 10 seconds, and my attack only lasts for 7 seconds.

Anyone who slows down is a dog!

It has to be said that this season, due to the existence of the four crazy teams in the Eastern Conference, the Magic and Heat, the two recognized teams in the Eastern Conference, are really not having an easy time.

The Four Crazy's offense is too strong and the upper limit is too high. The Magic and Heat are not sure they can beat the Four Crazy.

"These two teams are playing so fast!"

In front of the TV, Doc Rivers, who was watching this game that attracted national attention, was secretly amazed.

The four crazy ones are all very fast, but there is a difference between fast and fast.

The Cavaliers and Raptors attack at a fast pace, and every round seems to be a fast break. This is called run and gun.

The difference is that the Raptors use pick-and-rolls to drive run-and-gun, while the Cavaliers use sudden points to drive run-and-gun.

The Bucks shoot three-pointers very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the three-pointers are shot instantly.

The Nets are quick in transition between offense and defense. Martin, Marion, Richard Jefferson, Carter and Joe Johnson are all airtight on defense. Although their offense is not as fast as that of the Suns and Cavaliers after defense, they can transition very quickly. Accidentally, he was brought down.

Playing against four "crazy teams" with different styles, to be honest, everyone would tremble.

In this game, the Cavaliers were no worse than the Raptors in terms of speed, but there was still a gap in the players' condition.

This is the Cavaliers' third game in four days, and they have just finished playing an away game in Plateau.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Raptors 105-117 at home.

The Raptors were able to win this game so easily thanks to the Raptors' substitutes, Bonner and Alston. One of them scored 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting, and the other scored 20 points, 5 assists, and 4 steals.

Due to rotation in this game, Greek defender Spanoulis, who was reused by the Cavaliers for the first time, was somewhat beaten by Alston in this game.

However, as a 22-year-old European rookie, the Cavaliers have enough space and patience to wait for Spanoulis to grow.

Chen Xiao believes that after his ability adapts to the NBA, even if he cannot become a player as strong as his friend Ginobili, he can still shine in the NBA.

By the way, Spanoulis is also a very sensitive player, and he is not only sensitive but also arrogant.

In ordinary NBA teams, it is difficult for a character like Spanoulis to gain a foothold.

You are a rookie with such a sensitive and arrogant personality. Unless you become the core player from the moment you come up, who else will accommodate your personality?

That is to say, in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' team environment is really good.

After all, most of the Cavaliers' players were rookies last season, and their performance last season was not that good.

In addition to these rookies, veterans like Penny Hardaway, Barry and Raheem are not the kind to stir up trouble.

Although they are not friends with rookies like Garnett and Jordan, they are still very kind to rookies.

Therefore, Spanoulis is really doing quite well with the Cavaliers.

Even if Alstom led the rotation in this game, everyone was comforting him.

This made Spanoulis, who felt very guilty and uncomfortable after the game, feel warm all over.

After beating the Raptors, the Cavaliers played back-to-back away games on December 5 against another four-crazy team, the Nets, currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Nets...

This is one of the most special names in Chen Xiao's career.

"New Jersey, I'm back."
