I’m Really Playing Basketball

Los Angeles, Staples.

The Bobcats played away from home and lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 112-119 in a tough battle.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 27 of 54 shots, 12 of 26 three-pointers, and 14 of 18 free throws. He scored 80 points, the second highest single-game score in NBA history.

At the same time, Chen Xiao took 54 shots in a single game, which is also the second-highest number of shots in NBA history. The first place was the 63 shots Chamberlain took when he scored 100 points.

Although the game between the Bobcats and the Lakers ended with the Bobcats' defeat, after the game, the Lakers fans at the scene, led by Kobe Bryant, gave Chen Xiao great courtesy, especially those in Hollywood on the sidelines. The superstars seemed to be going crazy to rub off on Chen Xiao.

I have to say that although tonight is Chen Xiao's tragedy, no one, whether it is the fans at the scene or the fans in front of the TV, really regards this game as Chen Xiao's 'tragedy'. Everyone is Celebrating his 'monument' for Chen Xiao.

There is no way, the Lakers are already one of the strongest teams in the NBA, and the Bobcats are recognized by the league as one of the weakest teams in the NBA. In addition, it is an away game, and the Bobcats' loss to the Lakers is nothing at all.

But in the end, the two teams were tied for three quarters. Under the leadership of Chen Xiao, the Bobcats actually fought with the Lakers until the end.

If you still want to find fault with the process of this game, that would be really mean.

If you don't pursue victory harshly, then there is no doubt that Chen Xiao's eighty-point score in the entire game is definitely something worthy of the entire NBA and basketball world's celebration!

In fact, this is not the first time that Chen Xiao has made the entire NBA have a scoring spree.

As the No. 7 pick in 2002, this year is Chen Xiao's fourth season in the NBA.

As an NBA superstar, the fourth season is really the beginning of his career.

The other four are the top five defenders.

In his fourth year, Kobe averaged just over 20 points per game.

When McGrady was in his fourth year, he was Pippen who had just been hired by the Magic to become Hill.

Although Iverson and Carter were at their peak when they debuted, they never had such crazy scoring performances as Chen Xiao in their first four years.

In his rookie season, he scored 50 points with Tracy McGrady of the Magic. He scored 51 points in Madison Square, New York, the holy land of basketball. At the same time, in the playoffs, in his first Finals, he scored 51 points. A terrifying score of 53 points.

After that, Chen Xiao's scoring pace continued and never stopped. Until now, he scored 80 points in the game.

And it was at the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the two biggest teams in the NBA, in front of audiences all over the world, that they scored a score as terrifying as a nuclear explosion.

While Chamberlain's 100 points have become an ancient legend, Chen Xiao's 80 points is definitely the most admired scoring record in the NBA!

Therefore, after the game against the Lakers, Chen Xiao once again became everyone's focus in the media room of Staples Arena.

When Chen Xiao came to the press conference, whether they were American reporters, Chinese reporters, or reporters from other countries, they were all standing and applauding Chen Xiao.

"Chen, congratulations on scoring 80 points in the game. This is your career high and the second-highest score in NBA history.

When the entire NBA believes that as the league abandons the implementation of the 'NO-Handcheck' rule, NBA offenses will become more and more difficult, your 80 points shocked the whole world.

While others are worrying about 40 points, 50 points, and 60 points now, you have already scored 80 points. Chen, do you know what your score means to the entire NBA and the entire basketball world?

You let scorers throughout the NBA see the infinite possibilities of scoring under any rules!

You opened a great path for scorers throughout the NBA! "

The Associated Press reporter was a little excited.

But it's understandable.

Because the players score high points under such high confrontation, such exciting games can bring endless topics, which is very beneficial to the media industry.

NO Handcheck was ultimately rejected by David Stern and the NBA because of Chen Xiao. Many media were very dissatisfied.

Media reporters pursue these data things.

It'd be nice if those incredible legendary numbers showed up every day.

Don’t say that too much legendary data will devalue it, and don’t say that always being 150 vs. 140 in a game will cause aesthetic fatigue.

Not to mention the damage such a game does to the NBA and basketball.

What do these things have to do with them?

It doesn't matter at all.

Now as long as I'm happy, I don't care if the NBA or the basketball world is flooded.

It has never been the responsibility of their media reporters to protect basketball.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao pushed the players union to ask the NBA to abolish the NO Handcheck rule, the media reporters were very dissatisfied and felt that Chen Xiao and the players union were too lenient.

What do the rules of the game have to do with you players?

Just play the game honestly and treat the NBA as if you, the players, are in charge!

But in this game, after Chen Xiao scored 80 points, the Internet in the United States almost rioted like a nuclear explosion, and these American reporters discovered something special.

That is, the more precious something is, the more people will cherish it.

If a league always had those kind of magical statistics, and any player could produce incredible magical statistics at will, it would definitely not make the entire American audience so crazy.

Chen Xiao's 80 points tonight not only opened the door to a new world for NBA players, but also opened the door to a new world for them!

Chen Xiao didn't feel anything about the excitement of these American reporters.

"I didn't think about this problem. When I chose to take shots and score, I never thought about what my scoring meant to the entire NBA and the basketball world. Every time I scored, I wanted to win the game. Or closer to winning the game. If the team needs my score to win, 50 points, 60 points, 70 points, 80 points, or even 100 points, I will work hard. Unfortunately, we fell short in the end of this game. .

In the fourth quarter, I had some physical problems, I didn't shoot very well, and in the end, we lost the game. "

Chen Xiao is still very regretful, his consumption in this game is indeed too great.

Of course, although Chen Xiao had some regrets for losing, the reporters at the scene would not have any regrets. For them, there was no regret in this game, only a strong smell of blood, and they Like a shark smelling blood.

"Chen, we all noticed what you said to Kobe before the game. Is your 80 points in this game a response to Kobe saying before the game that you are not happy in the Bobcats?"

Forehead.

Chen Xiao was dumbfounded.

Can Boss Ke's words be interpreted this way?

He just said I would probably be lonely in Bobcat.

This is well intentioned!

How did it become a malicious speech to sow dissension in your mouth?

However, after thinking about it for a while, it seems that saying he is lonely and saying he is unhappy is really a little bit different, but the meaning is completely different.

Now Chen Xiao can be regarded as having a taste of the 'methods' of these media reporters.

sharp!

Simply awesome!

"The words Bryant and I said before the game did not mean what you think. There is no competition between us. We are all for winning the game. He has always been someone I respect and admire very much. This game Bryant showed me a completely different Black Mamba, a mamba king who can perfectly control his mamba spirit."

"But Chen, just now Kobe said in the press conference after the game that he might be able to score 81 points in the game."

"..."

After the Los Angeles reporter finished speaking, Chen Xiao was dumbfounded.

"Bryant really said that?"

"It's true, Chen, do you think this is his provocation to you?"

provocative? !

How can it be!

Seeing Chen Xiao's dumbfounded look when they heard them say that, they were looking forward to seeing some surprise scenes.

But what surprised these reporters was that after a brief surprise, Chen Xiao immediately became excited.

"I absolutely believe that Bryant can score 81 points in an NBA game. If he can score 81 points in a game, I will definitely be the audience applauding him the most!"

"..."

This time, after Chen Xiao finished speaking, it was the turn of the entire reporter group to be dumbfounded.

To be honest, in the press conference after the Kobe Bryant game just now, when Kobe Bryant said that he could score 81 points in the game, most reporters thought that Kobe Bryant was a tough talker and felt that he was humiliated by Chen Xiao who scored 80 points.

I want to get some of it back from my mouth.

Chen Xiao has 80 points, and you have 81 points. Why don't you go to heaven?

Is it really that easy to be 80+?

There are only two good ones in the entire history of the NBA!

You, who have never scored more than 70 points, are actually fantasizing about winning 80+ in the game.

Do you really think that 62 points in three quarters can lead to 80+ points in the game?

With 33 points in a single quarter, can you imagine yourself scoring 132 points in the game?

To be honest, just now Kobe said that Chen Xiao's 80 points made him feel that he could score 81 points. After he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

No one believed it at all, they just felt that Kobe was trying to save face by pretending to be an empty B.

But……

Damn, there are fools who really believe that Kobe can score 81 points!

Back in the locker room, I watched Chen Xiao on TV excitedly saying that Kobe believed he could score 81 points. At this time, I watched the sincere excitement on Chen Xiao's face on TV, and a smile appeared on his face.

If you have a close friend in life, what else can you ask for?

Shake hands.

Wait, how do two Mambas shake hands?

Shouldn't it be holding the tongue?

Haha. Just kidding.

In this way, after scoring 80 points against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte with the Bobcats under the crazy praise of a nuclear explosion across the United States.

After being defeated by the Lakers, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats ended their road trip to the Western Conference.

Although the Bobcats ended their three-game winning streak on this road trip, because of the 80 points Chen Xiao scored, Chen Xiao still gained a lot when he brought the Bobcats players back to Charlotte. Pick-up welcome from Charlotte fans.

In other cities in the NBA, being picked up by so many people after returning from an away game is actually not a special thing.

Many NBA fans will even go to the airport at two or three in the morning to watch their home team players returning from away games.

But this is elsewhere in the United States, with other teams in the NBA.

But this is Charlotte!

This is the base camp of the ACC League, the first league of the NCAA, and it is known as the best place in the NBA!

Now, there are so many die-hard NBA fans here.

And more importantly, this is the Bobcats' first season in Charlotte!

We haven’t even finished the first season yet!

So, the next day, when the Charlotte Observer published this picture of hundreds of fans picking up Bobcat players returning from the airport in the early morning, the entire Charlotte was shocked, and the entire NCAA was shocked.

Even NBA President David Stern in New York was shocked!

The number of people counted in the newspaper is 101, which is not a large number. Compared with Los Angeles, Boston, and the Knicks, it is simply negligible.

But this is Charlotte!

However, Chen Xiao and Jordan led Charlotte to play less than 20 games this season!

"This is the spark of our NBA in Charlotte!"

"The sparks have been lit now, and now they are waiting to start a prairie fire!"

David Stern's face was full of satisfaction and excitement.

Of course, Chen Xiao, who brought the team back to Charlotte, didn't know how much shock his return would bring to a group of big guys in the NBA and NCAA.

After losing to the Lakers in an away game, the Bobcats will face the Eastern Conference powerhouse Nets at home on December 7.

In the new season, the Nets are still very strong.

Martin, Marion, Richard Jefferson, Carter and Joe Johnson are all five forwards.

In order to keep Joe Johnson this summer, the Nets even matched the super high salary proposed by the Hawks to Joe Johnson.

Signed a 5-year, 70 million contract with Joe Johnson.

This contract shocked the whole world. At that time, many people said that the Nets signed this contract with Joe Johnson to trade him.

But in the end, I didn't expect that the Nets actually kept Joe Johnson.

After retaining Joe Johnson, the Nets' salary space has indeed exploded.

However, regardless of whether the Nets' salary is exploding, the Nets' strength is also exploding now.

Therefore, in this game between the Nets and the Bobcats, the Nets did not give the Bobcats any chance and easily defeated the Bobcats 105-95 in the away game.

The Nets' defensive capabilities are extremely strong, especially on the front line and outside.

The Nets' defense is simply hellish for the Bobcats' rookie players.

If it weren't for the inside combination of Chen Xiao and Zach Randolph, the Bobcats would have been bloodbathed in this game.

Even if Chen Xiao and Randolph perform well, with limited outside help, Chen Xiao and Randolph are actually not easy to play inside.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 16 of 38 shots. Although he scored 44 points in the game, his efficiency was average.

Therefore, after the game, the front page headline of the Charlotte Observer's early morning news was: "Wonderboy scored 'only' 44 points in the game, and the Charlotte Bobcats lost to the New Jersey Nets at home!"

Good guy, Chen Xiao can now use the title of "only" 44 points.

When this report from the Charlotte Observer was spread back to China, it once again caused an uproar.

"Only 44 points! Is our Xiaobao so famous in the United States?!"

"Domestic media should learn from it, what is the highest level of bragging, what is the most high-level bragging!"

"If anyone dares to say that CCTV is the media that boasts about Xiaobao the most in the future, who am I to blame? The Charlotte Observer is the one!"

Of course, Chen Xiao, who was in the United States at this time, had no idea that a report here in the United States had caused such a big discussion among fans in China.

After being defeated by the Nets at home, the Bobcats will travel non-stop to Philadelphia on December 8th to face the 76ers who are not very good this season.

The Bobcats were in extremely bad shape in this game.

As a team with many rookies, don't expect back-to-back form from this team.

In the end, the Bobcats lost to the 76ers 80-90 in an away game.

In this game, Chen Xiao seemed to have been infected by his teammates. He made 14 of 34 in the game, 6 of 16 three-pointers, and 10 of 14 free throws. Once again, he scored only 44 points.

In fact, when it comes to the fact that the touch is contagious, the most correct explanation should be that the teammates' touch is very poor. Of course, the opponent will frantically flank and defend the team's most threatening player.

Chen Xiao's defensive intensity in this game was very, very strong.

Although the 76ers do not have Mutombo, their overall defense has dropped significantly.

But overall defense is overall defense, and any NBA team will not have a problem with individual defense of players.

Isn't it just double-teaming?

It's like no one knows how to do it.

After the Bobcats lost to the 76ers, the Bobcats ushered in their first three-game losing streak of the season.

And the Bobcats' losing streak isn't over yet.

On December 10, 2005, the Bobcats returned home to face the Eastern Conference powerhouse Raptors.

The Raptors, under the leadership of Nash, have become one of the strongest teams in the league in the past few seasons.

Especially this season, the Raptors are even stronger with Milicic and Josh Smith growing up again.

This team currently ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference behind the Bucks, Heat, Magic, and Cavaliers.

And except for the Bucks, Heat, Magic, Cavaliers, Raptors and the Nets behind them, their records are similar.

The competition in the Eastern Conference has become even more intense this year.

The Bobcats, whose overall defense is not very good, are certainly no match for the Raptors.

So in this game, the Raptors easily defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 121 to 111.

However, although the Bobcats lost again in this game, this game was not without its highlights.

Chen Xiao's score in this game reached 40 again!

He made 18 of 38 in the game, 7 of 15 three-pointers, and 7 of 11 free throws. He scored 50 points in the game!

If Chen Xiao only scored 50 points in this game, it certainly wouldn't be the Bobcats' highlight.

Because Chen Xiao's 50 points in this game was the first time in his career that he scored 40+ in 11 consecutive games!

From 66 points against the Knicks in November to 50 points against the Raptors now, Chen Xiao scored 40+ points in 11 consecutive games, breaking Kobe's record of 10 consecutive 40+ games.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao scored 50 points in the loss to the Raptors, the Charlotte Observer and media fans across the country did not care about the Bobcats' four-game losing streak.

With regard to the strength of the Bobcats and the opponents they have faced recently, what is a four-game losing streak?

The key is Chen Xiao's 11 consecutive games of 40+!

It was amazing when Kobe had 10 consecutive 40+ games.

When Kobe had 10 consecutive 40+ games, many people said that it would be impossible for anyone to break Kobe's record in the future.

In just a few seasons, Chen Xiao broke Kobe's record.

"Perhaps the only record in the NBA that can never be broken is Boy Wonder's 80 points and 60+ quadruple-double!"

After all, Chen Xiao's time of 35 seconds and 13 minutes was copied by McGrady in the playoffs.

And just after ESPN vowed to shout this slogan, the slap in the face came a little fast, even a bit like a tornado.

On December 12, 2005, the Los Angeles Lakers returned home from consecutive road trips and faced the Houston Mosaic. They faced Bogut, who had sprayed shit on them and looked down on them before the draft.

In this game, Kobe, like Chen Xiao, dunked Bogut once in the game.

At the same time, Chen Xiao scored an unprecedented 60+ quadruple-double against Bogut.

In this game, Kobe made 28 of 46 shots, 7 of 13 three-pointers, and 18 of 20 free throws. He scored 81 points in a single game like crazy!

A week after Chen Xiao scored 80 points!

A week after Kobe said he could score 81 points!

Kobe really scored 81 points in the game!

When Kobe scored 81 points in Staples, the entire Staples was full of worship and cheers for Kobe!

At that moment, Kobe could even feel that Staples never had that fat man's place again.

And it's not just Staples, the entire NBA world is crazy at the moment.

Chen Xiao's 11 consecutive games with 40+ points just broke Kobe's record.

Kobe then scored 81 points, breaking Chen Xiao's record of 80 points.

This drama is simply explosive!

If coupled with Kobe's own prediction a week ago, then this plot will definitely be even more explosive.

If we say, Chen Xiao's 80 points at Staples a week ago was a nuclear tie with Los Angeles.

So Kobe's 81 points this time really tied the entire NBA!

No joke.

After Kobe's 81 points, players, celebrities, experts, and coaches throughout the NBA seemed to be going crazy.

I saw 80 points and 81 points in a week.

This is really magical, just like a Hollywood movie.

So much so that even Michael Jordan said in an interview: "Congratulations, you are living in a great era now!

In this era, you can have Chen and Bryant. This is your luck. This is also the luck of the entire basketball and the entire NBA. When I saw Bryant score 81 points in the game, I wanted to wear it. Put on my No. 23 jersey and pay it forward again.

If I still had the same body I had in 1996, I swear, I would have scored 82 points in a game!

The great era you are now living in with Chen and Bryant is the world I dream of most! "

Great times!

The world of dreams!

For a time, the entire NBA and basketball world was obsessed with Chen Xiao and Kobe!
