I’m Really Playing Basketball

In G1 of the finals, Chen Xiao used Malone's method to perform in front of O'Neal what is called a mid-range shot that is even more Malone than Malone.

When I saw Chen Xiao shooting 16 of 29 in the finals, 12 of 20 in the game, and scoring 42 points, the entire NBA was excited.

Chen Xiao's performance not only demonstrated his strong mid-range shooting ability, but also allowed the world to see how big the gaps the Suns' three inside lines have in the defensive transition period. What's more important is that after this game, , the whole country is discussing whether Malone, at his peak, is underestimated.

At the same time, the past story of Malone pressing O'Neal to the ground and rubbing him at his peak was brought up again.

For a time, the entire NBA was looking back at the time when Malone led the Jazz to give O'Neal an 8-1 score in the two-year playoffs.

"It is said that O'Neal is the most dominant player in the NBA besides Jordan. O'Neal has never dominated Malone, or even dominated any inside giant of the same level!"

"Olajuwon never dominated, Malone never dominated, Duncan never dominated, even Chris Webber, if it weren't for that damn penalty, the result would be completely different."

"O'Neal is very strong, that is a fact, but he is not qualified to be compared with Michael Jordan, especially in terms of dominance. He has not yet proven whether he can succeed without Kobe."

"The whole world knows how disdainful O'Neal is for Kobe. He often compares Kobe to his grandmother. Maybe from now on, he needs to re-understand his relationship with Kobe in the past few years."

"Wonder Boy is taking us to review O'Neal's career and success history. This makes us surprised to find how interesting O'Neal's past history is. Now we need to look at the wonder boy's important role for us with another perspective. In this period of history, O'Neal is great, but he is far from the greatness we imagined. Maybe we can no longer be deceived by O'Neal's big body!"

"Rather than re-evaluating O'Neal's contribution to the Lakers, I am more interested in how the Wonder Boy handled O'Neal in G2 of the Finals. This is so exciting!"

This is really an interesting thing. After the end of G1 of the Finals, public opinion in the United States and the NBA was not discussing the Finals itself, but began to re-examine the history of the OK Lakers.

This is something that many people did not expect, especially Kobe, who was involved.

Kobe was a little confused about this situation.

He really didn't expect that his contribution to the OK Lakers would be vindicated in this way.

You know, after O'Neal left, fans always booed him at Lakers home games. In other words, in fact, even many Los Angeles fans did not recognize his contribution in that period of history.

But now, public opinion has suddenly changed.

Seeing the earth-shaking changes in public opinion at this time, Kobe looked at Chen Xiao in the newspaper with a finger stretched out, and the expression on his face instantly became complicated.

Once upon a time, when Chen Xiao came up with the concept of Mamba Mentality, Kobe always thought that this kid was "big black like honey." This kid must be his own black disguised as his own honey.

After later contact and understanding, Kobe certainly knew that Chen Xiao was indeed a fan of his.

However, Kobe really didn't expect that Chen Xiao would be so obsessed with him.

Even he himself was desperate and almost admitted that he was a pendant of O in the OK Lakers. This pendant could even be O'Neal's grandmother. When he was so humble and insignificant, Chen Xiao actually overturned the verdict for him!

"Having such a fan is really a blessing."

After Kobe was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face.

However, having such a fan is actually quite embarrassing.

Because his fans have already dominated the finals, but he has long been sent out of the playoffs by that fat guy.

There is really no harm in having no comparison.

To have such a powerful fan, you need to have strong psychological acceptance.

After G1 of the Finals between the Cavaliers and Suns, the media in the United States were overjoyed to overturn Kobe's verdict.

Indeed, Kobe had many famous scenes during his OK period.

For example, in the 2003 Finals, although the Lakers were swept, Kobe averaged 40+ per game, making him the only two players in NBA history to average 40+ per game in the Finals.

To be honest, such a second-in-command was actually disliked by O'Neal and became a teammate even if my grandma came. To be honest, this is really over.

When O'Neal was so powerful, others would not delve into the sincere words he said in a joking tone.

But now, after Chen Xiao gave O'Neal a beating and broke the drum, everything was different.

So even Joe, who has not been seen recently, stood up and said: "In my career, I have never worked with a teammate as strong as Kobe. I can't evaluate Shaq's weight in that history, but I I feel that if I replace Scott with Kobe, I still won’t lose any finals.”

This statement is really irrefutable, because Jordan and Pippen never lost in the finals.

To be fair, when O'Neal won three consecutive championships with the Lakers, Jordan was under the greatest pressure.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao, who led the strongest team in history for two consecutive years, O'Neal would really have won five consecutive championships.

If he really wins five consecutive championships or even six consecutive championships, then he, Boss Qiao, is really not the boss anymore.

Therefore, Boss Joe definitely has a lot of "feelings" for O'Neal.

With such a good opportunity, if he didn't speak out, would he be worthy of the storm Chen Xiao had caused for them?

Isn’t it just to say good things for Kobe?

It's not like he hasn't said this before.

Isn't it just pulling one over and stepping on the other?

He will too.

After G1 of the finals, people, gods, and ghosts were all on display in the United States. Those who had grievances held grievances, and those who had grievances took revenge. It was so lively.

Compared with the United States, the public opinion in China was more focused on serious matters. After the game, the focus of public opinion was not off topic, it was still on the finals.

However, the media here in China are focusing on the ownership of the finals MVP.

There should be little suspense in this series.

The key issue now is the honor of the Finals MVP.

After the first game, Chen Xiao had 42 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Except for Chen Xiao, other Cavaliers players, James made 12 of 20 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 32 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

Korver made 5 of 12 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 16 points in the game.

The scores and data of others are slightly different.

It can be said that after the first game of the finals, it can basically be confirmed that the MVP of this year's finals will definitely be the choice between Chen Xiao and James.

There will no longer be any tie for Finals MVP.

When the Cavaliers win the championship, there are only two candidates, Chen Xiao and James.

Because this was just the end of the first game, the competition between the two was not yet so clear.

Now we need to see how the next game develops.

Stability is very important.

And this is also the focus of Chinese media.

In the United States, the entire United States is looking forward to Chen Xiao using "seven weapons" to kill O'Neal.

But in China, Chinese reporters and fan experts hope that Chen Xiao can take it easy and constantly change his playing style. If something happens, he will really give up the FMVP!

Although there are two Chinese reporters among the 11 reporters in this finals, the other 9 are American reporters.

If Chen Xiao can't beat James based on the data, even with David Stern and NBA officials supervising the battle, I'm afraid the result will be hard to say.

Teacher Zhang reminded Chen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally about the domestic obsession with awarding MVPs before the finals were over.

I hope Chen Xiao can focus on the overall situation.

However, Chen Xiao didn't care very much.

He didn't think he was messing around.

In the first game, he learned from Malone and not from Olajuwon, which proves that Chen Xiao is not a mess.

It's enough to use Olajuwon's method to beat O'Neal until he is not stable. If he really wants to let him use Olajuwon's method to beat O'Neal under the basket for the whole game, unless he really learns the fantasy footwork, he can only Like Duncan, he became the blocked shot leader in NBA history.

The main disadvantage is that height is too big. He and Duncan, who are experts in basic skills, stand out for stability. Stability has advantages and disadvantages. It is easy to predict. Players of Duncan's height will become the most popular, needless to say Chen. cool.

Therefore, after using Olajuwon's method to sneak attack O'Neal, Chen Xiao immediately retreated.

Then he used Malone's method to beat O'Neal throughout the whole process. Not to mention, Malone's way of beating O'Neal and the Suns was really stable.

It made Chen Xiao want to continue using it in the next game.

However, now that the character design has been established, Chen Xiao's main attack method in the next game will of course change.

Malone's method can continue to be used, but the share needs to be reduced.

Therefore, although many people in China think that Chen Xiao is too risky, Chen Xiao has never felt that way.

O'Neal has too many victims.

He can always find an offensive method that not only suits the Cavaliers' interests in winning but also makes O'Neal look ugly.

On June 12, 2005, the finals G2 between the Cavaliers and Suns continued at the Gund Arena.

In this game, the Cavaliers once again changed their starting lineup.

Logically speaking, the Cavaliers won the last game so easily, and there was actually no need to change the starting lineup.

In the NBA, losing teams always adjust, and winning teams don't need to make any changes.

But in this game, Chen Xiao appeared at the shooting guard position. The point guard was James, the small forward was Gerald Wallace, the power forward was Chandler, and the center was Diop.

It has to be said that after the last game and finding out the strength of the Suns, Carlisle was also showing off his skills.

Chen Xiao can show off his skills, why can't Carlisle show off?

He experimented with their formation in the regular season, why not use it in the finals?

It is said that although the Suns are not as strong as the Cavaliers, the Suns are invincible in positional warfare.

So the question is, why do we say that the Suns are invincible in positional warfare?

Our Cavaliers’ positional warfare is definitely not weak!

The Cavaliers' starting lineup put a lot of pressure on O'Neal in this game. In the last game, Chandler started at center. In this game, Diop and Chandler played as double centers.

The whole world knows that Diop became famous for playing O'Neal, and he is one of the best players in the entire league to compete with O'Neal.

However, it is obvious that Diop was able to become the team's starting center in this game not only because of his ability to support O'Neal.

In this game, Diop and Chandler were able to force the Cavaliers and Carlisle to give up fast breaks and return to their positions, which also meant cooperating with Chen Xiaoxiu's operations.

After G1 of the Finals, O'Neal was stunned by Chen Xiao and public opinion across the country.

The poisonous snake had already sealed the coffin, but Chen Xiao directly lifted the coffin board that he had nailed down.

Under his manipulation of public opinion over the years, the OK Lakers have always been his single-core Lakers, and now, surprisingly, they have become a dual-core Lakers.

Don't underestimate whether one is a dual-core team leader and the other is a single-core team leader. The historical status that this can gain for you is completely different.

Single-core led the team to three consecutive championships, and the boss has a historical status in the top five levels.

In the three consecutive championships led by the dual-core team, the boss is only in the top ten at best.

There's a gap in the middle.

In fact, without Chen Xiao, O'Neal has continued to decline in the selection of historical status due to the rise of Kobe Bryant.

Of course, O'Neal is definitely ready to put the blame on Chen Xiao now.

Therefore, regardless of winning or losing, O'Neal is ready to kill everyone in this game.

After all, the Cavaliers' small lineup will not be too strong against him. Although the Suns lost the last game, his data was still very good, 12 of 19, 10 of 15 free throws, and 34 points. Backboard.

However, the Cavaliers' sudden change in formation in this game put O'Neal's plan in jeopardy.

Not only did O'Neal's plan fall through.

And on the court, you can only watch Chen Xiao, who plays shooting guard, constantly shuttle between several big men on the court, and then continue to hit those damn two shots like Reggie Miller did back then. Points and three points!

That's right, when the game between the Cavaliers and the Suns started, the entire Cavaliers audience and the audience in front of the TV knew who the victim of O'Neal's simulation by Chen Xiao was in this game!

The former running king of the NBA, Reggie Miller!

O'Neal entered the playoffs for the first time in his career, but was swept out by Reggie Miller.

As the first person to sweep his career, Reggie Miller was O'Neal's first. Of course, O'Neal is extremely familiar with Reggie Miller's style (playing style).

Look at what Chen Xiao did on the court after the game started. They are almost exactly the same as Reggie Miller!

"This guy!"

O'Neal looked at Chen Xiao, who was constantly sneaking around the court with Suns outside players, and the expression on his face kept changing.

At this time, the two TNT commentators on the sidelines were smiling happily.

"I didn't expect that the Wonder Boy simulated Reggie Miller in this game, but this is normal. As the first player to sweep O'Neal, Reggie Miller has an unusual position in O'Neal's (suffering) career. "

These words of Barkley are one of the reasons why Chen Xiao became Reggie Miller in this game.

Another reason is that this Sun really can't prevent movement.

For a team with three inside players, you have to find someone to follow Chen Xiao, which is really difficult.

Barbosa is fast, but fast speed doesn't mean he has good movement.

Quentin Richardson's running position is a little better, and his speed is also good, but that is also compared to Barbosa!

As for Chen Xiao's 95% burst, 90% offensive movement, and 100% endurance, these two outside players of the Suns are just a gift.

What's more, Chen Xiao had two bodyguards to protect him in this match.

Carlisle equipped Chen Xiao with two bodyguards, Diop and Chandler, in this Cavaliers game. They are really like the Schmitz and Dale Davis that the Pacers prepared for Reggie Miller.

These two Pacers also beat O'Neal to death.

In this game, Chen Xiao teamed up with Diop and Chandler, making Reggie Miller in front of the TV really see the shadow of himself when he led the team to walk O'Neal.

This is really no joke at all.

Reggie Miller, like Malone in the previous game, also saw his own shadow in Chen Xiao.

This is really thanks to the Suns' poor ability to defend the run.

Because his opponent was too weak, Chen Xiao looked amazing.

And don't forget, Chen Xiao's style when he entered the NBA was Reggie Miller's style.

When Chen Xiao entered the NBA, the draft template was Hamilton Jr.

Hamilton's model is Ray Allen, and Ray Allen's model is Reggie Miller.

This is simply a lineage.

Of course, Chen Xiao is no longer a simple shooter.

However, there is no doubt that for Chen Xiao, who now has 100 endurance and 95 explosive power, the worst thing about Chen Xiao compared to Reggie Miller is his running ability.

However, because the Suns' defensive positioning is so poor, Chen Xiao's running position does not look much worse than that of Reggie Miller. In addition, Chen Xiao is more unafraid of running than Reggie Miller and is more explosive. Therefore, this game In the eyes of the audience on the sidelines and in front of the TV, that one is really more Reggie Miller than Reggie Miller!

As the game progressed, many American viewers in front of the TV were moved by Chen Xiao's movements on the court.

"Thanks to Wonder Boy, we can even learn the history of the NBA in this year's finals. It turns out that O'Neal looked like this when he beat Reggie Miller!"

To be honest, O'Neal was really miserable against the Pacers and Reggie Miller. If O'Neal was in the worst situation against Malone, then against Reggie Miller, his statistics were definitely the worst.

It is conceivable that after this game, Reggie Miller, who is about to retire, will become a national celebrity like Malone in the last game.

Reggie Miller will join the "O'Neal Takes Us to Meet NBA Famous Series" package like Malone.

In the first quarter of the game, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, the Cavaliers beat the Suns 31 to 14 in a single quarter. The Suns, known as invincible in positional battles, were actually beaten by the Cavaliers by a 17-point deficit in the first quarter.

Obviously, this is not just the Suns' inability to defend Chen Xiao, who can move endlessly, but there are also problems with their offense.

O'Neal had a hard time beating Diop, Rasheed's shooting touch was not good in this game, and the most important midfielder for the Suns to open up space, Stoudemire was troubled by Gerald Wallace in this game. Very uncomfortable.

In fact, historically, Gerald Wallace has been Stoudemire's biggest sufferer. Gerald Wallace can run, jump, have the strength to defend, and is relatively good at defending. It can be said that he is the perfect defender for Stoudemire. players.

After Gerald Wallace went to the Bobcats, Stoudemire has actually grown up, but historically, Stoudemire didn't even average 15 points per game against Gerald Wallace, and often failed to score. 20. One time he scored 10 points, another time 15 points, and another time 12 points. Throughout his career, Stoudemire only scored 20 points in 4 games against Gerald Wallace. Two of these four games were just right. 20 points.

On the opposite side, Gerald Wallace faced Stoudemire 5 times with 20+ points. You know, Stoudemire is an offensive type, while Gerald Wallace is a defensive type.

The Suns scored 14 points in the first quarter, mostly because Gerald Wallace killed Stoudemire's offense alone. In addition, O'Neal did not open up, which allowed Barbosa and Quentin Richard to Sen faced great defensive pressure from Chen Xiao and James.

Let's put it this way, the Suns' offense collapsed in the first quarter because of the misfire of Stoudemire, their offensive connection point.

In the second quarter, as the Cavaliers rotated their lineup, the Suns' decline became even more difficult to stop.

Throughout the second quarter, the Cavaliers were still beating the Suns.

The score in the single quarter was also 32 to 20, another huge score difference of 10 points.

After the first half of the game, the Cavaliers already led the Suns by 29 points, 63-34.

What a difference of 29 points!

Can the Suns survive this game?

Of course there is no such thing.

Therefore, after the third quarter, the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Suns by 23 points 109-86 at home.

By the way, in the fourth quarter of this game, the Cavaliers' rotation headed by Al Jefferson and Spanoulis did not perform well. This is already the fourth team of the Cavaliers. , Normally, they lost 17 to 28 in a single quarter. Otherwise, the Cavaliers could even win more in this game.

Chen Xiao played three quarters and 30 minutes in the game. He made 12 of 19 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block in the game.

In this game, Xiao Zhan scored 10 of 19, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the game.

In addition, Gerald Wallace, who performed extremely well in this game, scored 12 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 6-of-9 shooting.

As for the Suns, O'Neal made 9 of 17 shots and scored 23 points and 13 rebounds.

Rasheed Wallace made 6 of 12 shots and scored 12 points.

Stoudemire made 5 of 18, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 14 points.

After this game, basically everyone can be sure that the Cavaliers are 100% sure to be this year's championship.

Just like Barkley said after the game: "The Suns are like soft persimmons that can be kneaded at will in front of the Cavaliers. The Wonder Boy can knead Shaq at will, and Carlisle can knead Gentry at will, and even , even James and the Suns have no way to solve it, they don't even have a targeted defense against James, they can only passively let James go."

"I don't see any reason why the Suns can beat the Cavaliers. For the Suns, the only thing they need to do in this series is try not to be swept."

"Because, Shaq has been swept by the Wonder Boy twice in a row in the playoffs."

"Now Shaq has lost ten consecutive games to Wonder Boy in the playoffs. Shaq is even worse when facing Wonder Boy than when he faced Malone!"

Yes, when we beat Malone, we still won a game.

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy, he played another better game than Reggie Miller in this game!"

"In this finals, I'm just looking forward to the next one, which NBA legend the Wonder Boy will imitate!"

On June 14, 2005, the Cavaliers challenged the Suns away from home. Because the finals format was 232, the first two games were played at home by the team with home court advantage.

The Cavaliers have a better record than the Suns and have home court advantage.

Although the Cavaliers are now leading 2-0 in the finals, the game is still attracting a lot of attention across the United States because everyone is looking forward to Chen Xiao's performance.

Malone and Reggie Miller are already on.

So who will be in the third game?

Duncan?

Many people speculated that it would be Duncan in the third game and Jordan in the fourth.

Soon, when the game started, Chen Xiao sat on Quentin Richardson, received a pass from James outside the three-point line, then turned around gracefully, took off, bent his legs, leaned back, and stayed in the air!

"Jordan?!"

A swipe!

After the basketball hit, Chen Xiao, who fell from the air, stuck out his tongue at O'Neal...

"No, it's Jordan's back, Kobe's tongue sticking out, this tongue sticking out looks like heat dissipation, this is Kobe's tongue sticking out!"

Well, actually Chen Xiao wanted to stick out his tongue like Jordan, but because his tongue had been accustomed to Kobe's way of sticking out his tongue before, he couldn't correct it...

Of course, who Chen Xiao looks like sticking out his tongue is not very important at this time.

The important thing is that Chen Xiao is too crazy!

Use Jordan to knock O'Neal down, and then let Kobe show off in front of the lying O'Neal, sticking out his tongue.

This is definitely the most insane thing for O'Neal!

As long as you imagine this picture for a moment, you will know how crazy this is for O'Neal.

In fact, when Chen Xiao used Jordan's fadeaway to stick out his tongue at O'Neal with Kobe's, O'Neal showed the ugliest look on his face since the finals started when captured by the live camera.

That face was so dark that it turned purple!

"Wonder Boy still didn't say a word to O'Neal, but at this time, O'Neal was absolutely in pain and wanted to commit suicide!"

"What is the King of Trash Talk? This is the King of Trash Talk!"

Amidst the madness of viewers in front of television sets across the United States.

Even the Suns players looked at O'Neal with sympathy.

Xiaosi feels like he is sweating all over now.

What kind of monster did I make a ten-year contract with?

Now Bence doesn’t want to date, okay?

"This ferocious beast is so heartless and crazy!"
