I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Kenny, I think Wonder Boy is off the hook."

Facing his cheeks that were a little hot and painful from Kenny Smith's teasing, Barkley held back these words for a long time.

Damn it, when we played against the Pistons three days ago, he was just a third-rate novice at attacking under the basket. After three days of absence, he has become a first-rate 'little basic skill' at attacking under the basket?

Do you want to be so outrageous?

How do you explain it to others?

Did something happen in between?

In the past three days, except for the MVP award and NBA regular season awards, nothing happened, okay!

Could it be that a regular season MVP can help people get through to Ren and Du?

Do you believe it?

I do not believe!

It's as if no one has ever won the MVP. Ba is also the NBA's regular season MVP!

After winning the MVP, I became more confident and perhaps even stronger.

But that kind of strength is definitely not technically stronger, but mentally stronger.

As for Chen Xiao, his skills have completely become stronger!

For Barkley, there was no way to explain it.

Because this has completely exceeded his cognition.

"Charles, for many ordinary people, your career is cheating, and for you, players like Jordan, Larry Bird, and Wonder Boy are cheating. There is nothing wrong with that. If they are like this Players you can understand, then you should be sitting with Jordan, Magic, Larry, not sitting with me."

"..."

At this moment, Buckley felt that the truth would kill the guy next to him!

What you said makes so much sense, how can I refute it? !

Bad silver!

But, hum!

"Wonderboy's attack under the basket in the first quarter was very powerful. Braxon's height could not prevent Wonderboy's hook shot under the basket, but the Bucks' game rhythm was not chaotic. Although they were seven points behind, they never Double-teaming the Wonder Boy, they haven't thought that their team needs to adjust at this stage, and the Bucks don't think they have lost, or even think that they are already at a disadvantage."

After Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith next to him nodded.

This is true.

"The Bucks' death five can last 48 minutes. They are now the team with the strongest rotation time in the NBA."

"So Kenny, I still think that the Bucks can win this game. They can beat the Cavaliers without double-teaming or making changes."

After Barkley said with a smile, the rotation players from both the Cavaliers and Bucks came on the court.

The Bucks' players on the court are Joe Smith, Desmond Mason, Ariza, Michael Redd, and Travis Diener.

For the Bucks, during the rotation time of the second quarter, they were still playing against the five dead players.

Although the power of the dead five in the rotation cannot be compared with the power of the starting lineup, for most teams in the NBA, it is still the same blow as dimensionality reduction.

The Raptors' rotation in the last round was actually not weak, but it was crazy that they were killed by the Bucks' five deadliest rotation.

And this is the trump card of the Bucks and Terry Porter!

And this is why Terry Porter was willing to give Braxson such a long time to defend Chen Xiao alone in the first quarter.

Braxon alone can't defend against Chen Xiao.

But Terry Porter and the Bucks feel that they have the capital to allow Braxson to grow in the confrontation with Chen Xiao.

For the Cavaliers, the rotation in the second quarter is Chen Xiao, Raheem, Korver, Brent Barry, and Mo Mo.

If Chen Xiao is replaced with a powerful center in this lineup, this will definitely be a very good lineup with "one star and four shots" and "one inside and four outside".

In fact, Chen Xiao was a powerful center in this game.

Therefore, Carlisle led the team when Chen Xiao was willing to rotate in the second quarter, so he changed this rotation into a lineup that could best open up space for Chen Xiao and best utilize Chen Xiao's singles.

It has to be said that now that Chen Xiao can be a powerful center, the Cavaliers can change a lot more!

There are many changes, and there are many opportunities for Carlisle to choose from.

Chen Xiao played the entire first quarter and continued to lead the rotation of the team in the second quarter, which somewhat surprised Bucks head coach Terry Porter.

"Is this going to use Wonder Boy's consumption to counter our rotation advantage?"

If so, then this is a fall!

"The Cavaliers let Wonder Boy continue to lead the team in the second quarter to counter the Bucks' rotation advantage. This is not a wise choice."

"Wonderboy's physical strength is very good, but his weight is there, 110 kilograms. In the history of the NBA, players of this weight or above can maintain a high level of play for 48 minutes in a high-level game. , there are only a handful of people, and obviously, Wonder Boy is not among them."

"The Cavaliers can win a game by consuming Wonder Boy, but there is no way to win a series by consuming Wonder Boy like this."

"When Wonder Boy appeared on the court in the second quarter, I knew that the Cavaliers were in danger for this game and this series."

"The Bucks' offense is too fast, and Wonder Boy will definitely be dragged down!"

After Barkley was slapped twice in the face by Chen Xiao in the first quarter, Barkley became even more talkative in the second quarter.

This is understandable.

I want to get my place back.

So as Barkley's partner, Kenny Smith would definitely stand by and watch Barkley pretend to be 13.

Well, maybe with a smile.

For Terry Porter, it is no longer unfamiliar for his opponent to use the boss to fight against his five dead players.

The Raptors also used Nash to rotate in the second quarter.

But Nash did not make a strong attack during the rotation in the second quarter, but was more of a containment point.

The same is certainly true of Wonder Boy and Knight.

Therefore, he gave the Bucks players on the court a gesture from the sidelines, that is, no double-teaming.

Still let Chen Xiao play alone and don't give the Cavaliers a chance.

If he has the ability, Chen Xiao will play alone for 48 minutes and beat us to death!

Trying to scare me with Wonder Boy is impossible.

It has to be said that beginner coaches are always very confident and have secret tips. In this regard, Terry Porter now is the same as the Warriors in history.

Don't double-team James.

The logic makes sense. For Chen Xiao and James' passing, double-teaming is the most effective defensive method.

However, most senior coaches will give it a try. What if it works?

There's no need to change it back again.

Therefore, the beatings I received were still too small. As soon as I came out of society, I was so good and always winning. Isn't that just self-confidence?

Therefore, in the second quarter of the game, Terry Porter and the Bucks saw whether Chen Xiao was bluffing after coming on the court in the second quarter. They were just doing support points and did not dare to really attack.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao came up to face Joe Smith's defense. He swung away from Joe Smith under the basket and then turned around and hit a dunk, 36 to 27!

Joe Smith never thought that Chen Xiao would really attack in the second quarter, and he would attack as soon as he started. There was no containment here. This was the same as in the first quarter. Chen Xiao was the Cavaliers' main attack point!

Joe Smith, who was suddenly attacked, was not as good at defense as Braxson. He was only 3 centimeters taller than Chen Xiao. In addition, he was unprepared. When he defended Chen Xiao this time, he was really beaten cleanly by Chen Xiao.

Here we have to mention Braxson in the first quarter.

Although Braxson allowed Chen Xiao to score 16 points in the first quarter, his defense was actually very good.

Basically, there is no chance for Chen Xiao, who is completely defeated by the sky blue, to dunk the sky blue.

If Chen Xiao wants to hit, he still needs to test his hook and touch.

Chen Xiao was so accurate in the first quarter, which is why he felt really good tonight.

But now that the defensive player behind him has been changed from Braxon to Joe Smith, this is much simpler.

Although Joe Smith is not a wooden stake, it is impossible for him to be completely shaken away every time.

However, even if it is only once, this kind of direct flying step under the basket is very lethal.

Otherwise, you don't really think that the general who cried in front of Olajuwon is a softie, right?

A flying man under the basket may be more insulting than a butterfly flying through flowers.

When a butterfly passes through a flower and falls over someone else, others can say that they are not flexible enough, have limited physical talents, and have no choice.

And flying around the basket will make people doubt your IQ!

One is to make people doubt your talent, and the other is to make people doubt your IQ.

Most of the players in the NBA do not have very high IQs. The lower the IQ, the more they value this aspect, and then the insult becomes immediately obvious.

In short, during the rotation of the second quarter, Joe Smith, who was directly knocked away twice by Chen Xiao, opened his mouth wide when he came off the court. Listening to the crazy laughter and boos of the Cavaliers fans at the scene, he felt that his mentality was a bit broken. .

Brother, are you so cruel? !

We are good brothers with the same agent!

Facing Joe Smith's gaze, Chen Xiao said with his big talking eyes: Brother, I am already very restrained!

In fact, Chen Xiao is indeed very restrained.

If Joe Smith really cried for the insult like Olajuwon insulted the general, to be honest, Chen Xiao really can't be an agent like Arenas, Marion, Terry, Richardson, etc. Brother's confession.

Even his own agent Fagan couldn't explain it.

You've destroyed my reputation as a player, which affects my financial resources. If I can't sign a big contract, I'm in trouble.

So, just enough is enough.

And just enough was enough. The Cavaliers' rotation led by Chen Xiao shattered Terry Porter and the Bucks' point-chasing plan during the rotation.

Terry Porter and the Bucks hope that the team will chase points during the rotation in the second quarter.

This second quarter rotation, with the acquiescence of the two teams, took a long time, playing for a full six minutes.

In these six minutes, the Bucks not only failed to catch up with the score, but were even pulled away!

In these six minutes, the Cavaliers, led by Chen Xiao, beat the Bucks 16-13.

Therefore, when the starting players of both sides took the field again, the score had become 50 to 40, and the point difference had widened to 10 points.

In fact, if the Bucks were only 10 points behind, this would not make Terry Porter panic.

If the team falls behind by 10 points and Chen Xiao comes off the field, then he can accept it and even feels that he may have made a profit.

Delaying Chen Xiao for six minutes with a three-point difference was definitely earned.

But what flustered Terry Porter was that after the main players from both sides came on the field, Chen Xiao still stayed on the court in the second half of the second quarter!

"Wonder Boy's game really lasts forty-eight minutes!"

"Are we going to witness the birth of Chamberlain in the NBA again?!"

Chen Xiao feels that there is still a difference between himself and Chamberlain.

Chamberlain definitely has endurance attributes.

As for Chen Xiao, she simply has 100 endurance and no matching skills.

His endurance is also basic skills, without any fancy stunts.

Therefore, his overall endurance should not be as good as Chamberlain's.

For example, Chamberlain's endurance skill may reduce physical consumption in certain scenes.

But Chen Xiao can't.

Chen Xiao does not have such skills.

Therefore, he is purely supported by 100 attributes.

However, an attribute of 100 is enough for Chen Xiao to sustain him for a long, long time.

At the very least, it can support it until the Bucks' hopes are exhausted!

In this game, Chen Xiao, as the main attacker of the Cavaliers, played for 18 consecutive minutes, almost vomiting the small centers of the Bucks.

Behind Braxon, Joe Smith, Mason, and Chen Xiao, the Bucks' small centers were replaced one by one, coming one by one, and playing one by one. This scene was indeed quite brutal.

You know, the pace of both sides in this game is quite fast.

In such a fast-paced game, the attack lasted for 18 minutes, and it was continuous.

According to the simplest values ​​of many people, it’s time to take a rest, right?

However, when all the main players of the two teams took the field, watching Chen Xiao still wreaking havoc under the Bucks' basket, this time it was not Joe Smith who was going to collapse, but Bucks head coach Terry Porter.

To be honest, when he saw his little centers being bullied so miserably by Chen Xiao, he was really ready to go to his big white bear Joel Przybyla at that moment.

But in the end, he endured it.

He really couldn't give up his death penalty just half the game.

Do you know how much reputation the Death Five brought him after reversing the Raptors?

After he reversed the situation and eliminated the Raptors, the whole country was touting his coaching ability.

Under such circumstances, how could he be willing to give up his own death?

spell!

Keep fighting!

"I don't believe in this evil!"

On the court, Chen Xiao continued to suppress Braxon.

When Chen Xiao suppressed Braxson behind him, it was not only him who could score, but it was also very beneficial for Cavaliers players such as James, Barnes, Diaw, Gerald Wallace and so on. of.

Without Braxon's participation, the Bucks' defensive rotation is not so scary.

Without a center who can check for leaks and fill in the gaps, the Bucks' defense is actually a bit brittle and not that sticky.

Therefore, in the first half of this game, not only the Bucks' backup center Joe Smith was uncomfortable, but the Bucks' starting players were also very uncomfortable.

After creating the five minors, they won four of the past five games, and the one they lost was also Nash, so there was no way.

It can be said that after the fifth primary school came out, they were invincible.

However, they were invincible. In the first half of this game, they were suppressed by Chen Xiao for the entire half!

66 to 54!

When the second quarter ended, the Bucks, who were playing away games and were even more favored by professionals, were already 12 points behind!

Moreover, the Bucks' falling behind is not the kind of falling behind with big ups and downs, but falling behind with constant blood loss. The team has been under pressure and has no hope of winning at all.

This kind of backwardness is actually the most hurtful thing.

To be honest, the Bucks players have played very hard in this game.

Even though he was suppressed like this by Chen Xiao, he didn't collapse.

At the very least, judging from the score, the Bucks still have a chance.

"Charles, is this the knight who is going to be in danger, the magical boy who is going to be brought down?"

"..."

Buckley didn't feel like talking to anyone right now.

Damn it, has Boy Wonder been eavesdropping on me?

Otherwise, how could the slap in the face be so precise? !

Did that guy Wonder Boy do it on purpose?

And just when Barkley was endlessly ridiculed by Kenny Smith.

Nash's home in Toronto, Canada.

Nash and Milicic are watching this game.

After the season, Nash and Milicic got mixed up.

Of course, the two of them didn't hang out together specifically to watch the NBA playoffs. They mainly wanted to wait for the Champions League final. To be honest, it was very comfortable for two teammates with the same hobbies to be together.

Of course, while waiting for the Champions League final between Liverpool and Milan, it would also be good to watch the NBA playoffs together.

To be honest, this game between the Cavaliers and Bucks shocked the two of them.

The first half of the game between the Cavaliers and Bucks also exceeded their expectations.

In Nash and Milicic's expectations, the Bucks are the dominant side.

Nash and Milicic feel that they still know the Cavaliers very well.

If the Cavaliers don't have a center that can attack, it's impossible to beat the Bucks.

Unless Chen Xiao or James are super gods.

If Chen Xiao and James each perform well in this series, the Cavaliers may lose 2-4.

If Chen Xiao and James can't be amazing, maybe the Bucks can sweep the Cavaliers 4-0.

This is actually not disrespectful to Chen Xiao.

But the death of five small bucks put too much psychological pressure on them.

Especially Milicic.

As the youngest player in NBA history to score 1,000 points, Mr. 2,000 points.

He reached 1,000 points and 2,000 points much faster than James, although the youngest has no chance of reaching 3,000 points, 4,000 points or even 5,000 points in the future.

But for Canada, Milicic is still their treasure.

The same is true for Serbia and Montenegro.

It can be said that Milicic's career is soaked in a honeypot.

Coupled with the fact that he has a good big brother like Nash by his side, his career has always been in the comfort zone.

When a person stays in a comfortable environment for too long, he will indeed slowly deteriorate.

Everyone dotes on him, and it's hard for someone like him to leave his comfort zone and work hard.

But this time in the playoffs with the Bucks, Milicic was hit hard.

It turns out that he is nothing, being pampered by all of Canada, all of Serbia and Montenegro, Nash, and his teammates.

Especially watching the game between the Cavaliers and Bucks tonight, it touched him even more.

He knew what Chen Xiao's offensive ability at the basket was like at the beginning. Chen Xiao provided him with the highest number of blocks in his career in a game.

At that time, Chen Xiao's offensive ability at the basket was really, in Barkley's words, eye-catching.

But now, are the things Chen Xiao did under the Bucks basket in this game still eye-catching?

No, that’s God descending to earth!

"He actually succeeded!"

To be honest, Milicic never thought that Chen Xiao actually used crazy self-abuse to develop his offensive ability at the basket.

This is really shocking and respectable at the same time.

"A player of his level can step out of his comfort zone to challenge, self-abuse, and pursue a newer and stronger self. I, a mere young man under 20 years old, can do anything that I cannot." Losing, what kind of baggage can we have that we can’t let go of?”

Isn’t it just self-abuse, isn’t it just living a hard life?

Is there any day in this world that is more self-inflicted and painful than war and turmoil?

"Darko, are you okay?"

Milicic came back from his thoughts of clenching his fists and shook his head.

"He's really awesome!"

Shocked by the Chen of this game?

Seriously, Nash was also shocked.

"He's a true legend."

Nash said sincerely, because facing the Raptors he led, the Bucks could always defeat them in the third quarter, but the Cavaliers led by Boy Wonder actually collapsed in the third quarter.

Chen Xiao, who was so aggressive in the first half, actually attacked even more aggressively in the third quarter.

After three quarters of the final game, the suspense of victory or defeat was completely lost.

120 to 106!

In the end, the Cavaliers, led by Chen Xiao, defeated the Bucks at home by 14 points and successfully won the second round of G1.

In this game, Chen Xiao played 36 minutes and played the entire first three quarters. As the Cavaliers' main attacker in the first three quarters, Chen Xiao made 16 of 28 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 12 of 16 free throws. He scored 46 in the game. While scoring, he also had 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.

Chen Xiao only played three quarters in this game. After the third quarter, the Bucks collapsed, and Chen Xiao himself felt a little sore.

After this game, Chen Xiao finally understood why centers with strong offensive abilities generally took so many fewer shots per game than defenders of the same level.

Not only is it more difficult to catch the ball, but more importantly, the center player consumes a lot of physical energy in a strong attack under the basket.

With 100 stamina, Chen Xiao almost couldn't hold himself back and continued to attack the basket for 36 minutes.

This is truly a blessing.

However, the impact of a strong attack at the basket on the game is also huge.

That kind of deep intimidation is definitely not something that can be brought about by mid-range shots or even shots from beyond the three-point line, especially in this era.

In addition to Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan made 7 of 14 in this game, scored 20 points, and also had 7 rebounds and 11 assists.

Except for Chen Xiao and James, who scored 20 points, Gerald Wallace, Barnes, and Diaw all scored in double figures in this game, and substitute Xiao Mo also scored in double figures.

On the opposite side of the Bucks, Ray Allen made 15 of 27 in this game, 7 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 40 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.

In fact, Ray Allen's state in this game is also very Diaw.

It's a pity that there is a more Dior one on the opposite side.

That's why Bucks head coach Terry Porter felt so uncomfortable after the game.

The loss in this game was not due to my poor performance.

The loss in this game was purely because the opponent was stronger and restrained himself more.

"We won't say that we must change something if we lose this game. There is no problem with the five dead players. We need to strengthen our offense. In this game, we allowed the Wonder Boy to score too many points. In the next game, we will There will be changes.”

At the post-game press conference, Terry Porter still had no intention of giving up on the death of the five players.

This is also normal. No one can give up the huge reputation they have gained just because of the failure of one game.

Moreover, was this game due to Wonder Boy's excellent touch?

People always have a very lucky mentality.

Therefore, two days later, on May 12, 2005, in G2 between the Cavaliers and Bucks, the Cavaliers continued to face the Bucks at home.

Terry Porter did not change his five-point thinking in this game, but there were still changes in the game.

That is, the Bucks increased their double-teaming on Chen Xiao in this game.

Taking advantage of the defensive mobility of the five small players, Chen Xiao can directly attack Braxson or other centers in the interior.

I have to say that this method is indeed useful at first. The Cavaliers' starters, Gerald Wallace, Barnes, Diaw, and James, are not top-notch shooting.

But, do you think Carlisle is just a decoration?

Do you think the Cavaliers' player reserves will not have that many shooters?

With a big wave of Carlisle's hand, Korver, Brent Barry, and Raheem followed the trend.

Then, the Bucks' fifth team collapsed once again!

In fact, when the Bucks began to flank Chen Xiao, the Bucks could only place their hope in God.

Chen Xiao's passing is too strong, and he is definitely the best among all centers in the league. If the rest of the Cavaliers are also accurate, it will really be impossible to play.

118 to 133, the Cavaliers faced the desperate Bucks in a battle at home and won again.

Facing the Bucks' crazy double-teaming in this game, Chen Xiao scored a lot less. He made 11 of 20 in the game, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 12 free throws. He only scored 32 points, but In addition to 32 points, Chen Xiao provided 17 assists in this game!

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

Under Chen Xiao's organization, the Cavaliers hit 24 three-pointers in this game.

And James, who was released the most, made 14 of 24 in this game, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 40 points.

When James was able to make 7 of 12 three-pointers in this game, you can imagine the huge price the Bucks paid for double-teaming Chen Xiao.

In addition to James, Korver made 6 of 8 three-pointers and Barry made 5 of 9 three-pointers. In this game, the Cavaliers not only defeated the Bucks and defeated the five small teams, but also created the most three-pointers in the NBA playoffs. Hit record in a single game.

To be honest, the G2 game between the Cavaliers and Bucks made Terry Porter and the Bucks more desperate than G1.

When the Bucks use the five dead players, they can't defend Chen Xiao alone, nor can they double-team Chen Xiao. What should they do?

As long as they beat Death Five, everything will be meaningless.

After this game, even if Terry Porter doesn't want to accept it, he can only accept it. Chen Xiao is the kind of player who can perfectly restrain his death.

He has top-notch athleticism that can keep up with the speed of the Death Five.

He has top-level defensive capabilities that can help defend the five small teams in death.

He has top-level offensive ability at the basket that can punish the dead five.

When the NBA has a center like this, what else can he do but despair?

For Terry Porter, after these two games, Chen Xiao is more scary to him than O'Neal.

"He caused Death Five to die..."

Finally, looking at the excited Cavaliers fans around him and Chen Xiao cheering, Terry Porter closed his eyes.

He killed us...
