I’m Really Playing Basketball

In this game between the Cavaliers and Bobcats, neither Chen Xiao nor James faced each other head-on.

Because the two of them are too familiar with each other.

The clash of muscles between the two at the Cavaliers' training ground has always been a beautiful sight.

Both of them knew exactly what would happen if they faced each other head-on.

Therefore, in this game against the Bobcats, James continued to use his "pick and roll king" characteristics to look for the Bobcats' defensive loopholes and misplacement opportunities to attack.

Chen Xiao's attack on the Cavaliers was also looking for the Cavaliers' loopholes and players' weaknesses.

For Chen Xiao, except for former Cavaliers head coach Carlisle, no one in the world is more familiar with this team than him.

In terms of familiarity with Cavaliers players, Carlisle is not as good as Chen Xiao.

Therefore, in the next game, James used his pick-and-roll king ability to find loopholes in the Bobcats to attack crazily and drive his teammates to attack.

Chen Xiao used his familiarity with the Cavaliers to fight back.

Of course, the duel between Chen Xiao and James will naturally continue.

As long as James shoots a two-pointer, Chen Xiao will return a three-pointer.

The two friends seemed to have turned this much-anticipated Christmas war into a stage for 'communication' and 'play' with each other.

However, the audience in front of the TV, whether American or Chinese, seemed to like the communication and play between the two.

Therefore, in the first quarter of the game, the two teams ended in a "happy and playful" atmosphere like Chen Xiao and James.

30 to 28!

This is the score at the end of the first quarter of this game. The away Bobcats lead by 2 points.

Among them, Chen Xiao scored 18 points in the first quarter with 6 of 8 and 4 of 6 three-pointers.

James, on the other hand, made 5 of 7 in the first quarter and scored 14 points in a single quarter.

This is why the Bobcats took the lead in the first quarter of the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers.

Chen Xiao's three-point shooting percentage in the first quarter was very good.

In the first quarter, both Chen Xiao and James felt very good, but it was obvious that Chen Xiao's three-pointer was more efficient than James' two-pointer.

James hit a three-pointer in the first quarter.

So, after the end of the first quarter, Chen Xiao was like a winning rooster, proudly coming down from the court amidst the laughter of all Cavaliers fans.

In the second quarter of the game, Chen Xiao did not appear in the Bobcats' rotation.

Chen Xiao and the Bobcats want to win this game.

In December, the Bobcats lost a lot. They have lost 7 games in 12 games, so that the current record has become 14 wins and 14 losses. Although the record is still 50%, such a winning percentage must not be ranked in the East. Among the top eight.

Now the Bobcats' ranking has dropped to tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Although it is still the beginning of the season, the ranking is really not that important.

But performance is still important.

The Bobcats hope that the team will not drop from a 50% winning rate.

After all, the team has more young players, and a 50% winning rate is a psychological support for the young players of the team. This line can provide a great sense of security and psychological support for these young players of the team of.

Therefore, Chen Xiao needs to conserve his energy for the decisive battle in the final stage of this game.

Therefore, the Bobcats' rotation in the second quarter was center Gortat, power forward Blatche, small forward Barnes, shooting guard Monta Ellis, and point guard Chris Paul.

This time the Bobcats' rotation is led by Xiao Pao.

The Cavaliers' rotation is Al Jefferson, Diaw, Korver, Barry and Spanoulis.

Except for Barry, the starter who was rotated out to rest halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers' rotation is also dominated by substitutes.

This is also the Cavaliers' main rotation this season.

Although the Cavaliers' rotation seems a bit "prime", their performance this season is outstanding.

Mainly because this season the Cavaliers' backup forward Diaw and backup guard Spanoulis have made great progress.

Diaw served as the first substitute for the power forward and small forward in the Cavaliers this season. He averaged 33 minutes per game, 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53%. This statistic is really shocking A bunch of experts and celebrities.

Diaw's performance with the Cavaliers this season has been really outstanding.

And another player, Spanoulis, after adapting last season and gaining confidence in winning the championship, can finally display his limited characteristics in the NBA this season.

Although I don't say that I can fully utilize my strength in the NBA, I will probably be able to do so.

In Europe, Ginobili is Jordan, the king of Europe.

And Spanoulis is Kobe, the little king of Europe.

Not to mention how much better Spanoulis is than Ginobili.

However, being able to show 70% to 80% of his level in Europe in the NBA is also very good.

This season, the Greek defender can average 25 minutes per game in the NBA, averaging 10.5 points and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 46% from the field and 36% from three-pointers.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two people, coupled with the remaining group of good role players in the Cavaliers, that the Cavaliers' bench lineup is definitely the trump card of this team.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Cavaliers' bench does not seem to have any big-name stars, it is very strong.

Of course, the Cavaliers' bench lineup is not without its shortcomings. The shortcoming is that the defense is still lacking.

The offense is strong and the defense is relatively poor.

Therefore, the Cavaliers' rotation is very appealing to the Bobcats' rotation.

Young people like the Bobcats are not afraid of your strong offense, fast running, and high talent. What they are afraid of is that you are a group of tough guys and a group of old and unskilled people.

Teams like the Pistons, Kings, Raptors, and Nets really make things difficult for the Bobcats.

Of course, despite the Cavaliers' rotation, the Bobcats players are relatively less intimidated.

But the strength of the rotation is certainly stronger than the Cavaliers.

Therefore, Chen Xiao sat on the sidelines and watched his teammates being suppressed for four minutes.

Before Chen Xiao and the Bobcats' starting players all came on the court, the Bobcats had gone from leading by two points to falling behind by two points.

Lost by four points in four minutes.

This lag is not small, but it is acceptable.

After all, the Bobcats have Chen Xiao, a player who knows the Cavaliers very well, so the Bobcats still have a certain advantage in the starting lineup.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Cavaliers still led by 2 points, 57 to 55.

At the end of the midfield game, Jordan was relieved to see the Bobcats surpass the score with Chen Xiao's buzzer-beating mid-range shot.

If they lose this game, the Bobcats' record will drop below 50%, which will definitely cause a storm of public opinion across the United States.

This will put a lot of pressure on the Bobcats' young players.

It will also greatly increase the pressure on him as a rookie head coach.

By then, it will definitely be in decline.

He is not afraid of being looked down upon, but after being criticized by the American media for so many years, he will be annoyed, okay? It is better not to criticize him.

While he was glad that the team was leading again, Jordan also looked at the team's technical statistics for the first half handed over by assistant coach Steve Kerr.

Jordan was really satisfied when he saw Chen Xiao.

11 of 15, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 31 points in the half!

The Bobcats scored 57 points at half-time, and Chen Xiao scored 31 points alone!

In fact, this is not the first time. In many cases, Chen Xiao's own scoring proportion of the team's scoring is even more terrifying. For example, in that 80-point game, Chen Xiao accounted for 70% of the team's scoring proportion.

But even this is not the first time.

Jordan is still shocked every time he sees statistics like Chen Xiao's.

The Bobcats are too dependent on Chen Xiao!

It should be said that his reliance on Chen Xiao in coaching is also too great.

If Chen Xiao hadn't single-handedly led the Bobcats forward this season, it would have been impossible for him and the Bobcats to gain so many victories this season.

The Bobcats are a team with a long way to go.

When the bobcats walk this long and difficult road, it is absolutely a very happy thing to have someone who can walk in front and hold their hands together.

So much so that during the halftime break of the game, Barkley, the TNT commentator on the sidelines, said directly: "I really didn't expect the Bobcats' record this season to be so good and Jordan's coaching to be so good, but I won't admit that I was wrong. Lynx and Michael.

I'm not wrong about them.

The only thing I did wrong was that I still underestimated Wonder Boy.

I don’t think the whole world expected that Wonder Boy would be able to perform in such an outstanding state this season, such an incredible state! "

Because the Bobcats have a good record this season, Jordan's coaching is good, and Granger, a diamond hidden in the gravel, has been selected, Barkley, who has been looking down on the Bobcats and Jordan, is really under a lot of pressure.

Faced with such great pressure, Barkley had no intention of giving in. He still kept emphasizing that there was nothing wrong with what he said before.

"I emphasize again that the Bobcats can be so amazing this season and lead the Cavaliers by half on the road, all because of the amazing boy!"

I don’t know whether it’s because he knows him too well or doesn’t understand him too well, but Barkley really looks down on his good friend Jordan’s abilities as a coach and general manager.

But damn, how come this guy never makes a mistake?

I can't find any reason at all!

In the end, Barkley can only attribute all this to Chen Xiao.

Originally, the Bobcats couldn't do it, but with Chen Xiao, they can.

Originally Granger couldn't do it, but with Chen Xiao, it will be alright.

Originally, Jordan couldn't do it, but with Chen Xiao, he can.

Anyway, Jordan is not good at anything, Chen Xiao is the best.

Well, what I said sounded like a sophistry that I couldn't afford to lose.

But Sir Barker even kissed Kenny Smith’s butt, so he didn’t seem to be a sore loser.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers obviously improved their defensive intensity compared to the first half.

If the Cavaliers improve their defensive intensity in the rotation, the effect will definitely be outstanding.

But in the starting lineup.

This is difficult.

Chen Xiao, Paul, Randolph, Granger, Bynum.

Except for Bynum, the other four Bobcats are not afraid of increased intensity.

Even Bynum...

He is not the team's main attacker. His role on the court is to fill the space under the basket and cover pick-and-rolls. As for offense, he really has no chance.

In the NBA, most rookies are unreliable offensively, let alone high school rookies.

Therefore, after the start of the third quarter, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown quickly realized that his decision to ask the whole team to increase defensive intensity in the third quarter seemed to be somewhat ineffective.

At the end of the third quarter, the final result was the same. In the first half, the Bobcats only led by 2 points. At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides was 86 to 81. The Bobcats had already led the Cavaliers. 5 points.

Of course, for an NBA game, there is still one quarter left, and being behind by five points is nothing.

But in this game, because of Chen Xiao, the players of the Cavaliers didn't play well everywhere.

Chen Xiao's attributes towards the Cavaliers greatly restricted the performance of the Cavaliers' players.

Even Xiao Zhan's breakthrough to the basket was blocked by Chen Xiao bynum and Zach Randolph, not to mention other Cavaliers players.

According to the strength of the two teams in this game, the Cavaliers have no problem winning at home.

But if the Cavaliers can't give full play to their strength, then the result will be hard to say.

In the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao did not rest on the Bobcats side, while James also stayed on the court on the Cavaliers side.

Both Chen Xiao and James are good players with substitutes.

Because both Chen Xiao and James are good at playing misplaced positions. Chen Xiao has comprehensive skills, can play in any position, and can face anyone indiscriminately. Rotating the lineup is the same as playing against opponents.

In the matchup between the two in the starting lineup, Chen Xiao was considered a small victory in this match.

And this time, Chen Xiao still won a small victory in this rotation matchup.

Compared to James' pick-and-roll bullying of small men.

Chen Xiao's undifferentiated dislocation singles are more comfortable and calm in offense.

It has to be said that although Xiao Zhan has made great progress in shooting, he still has a lot of room for improvement. He still needs to improve his shooting ability, especially his three-point shooting ability.

Otherwise, when the inside line is blocked and the outside line is blocked, James will have too little offensive space.

In the end, with Chen Xiao's outstanding performance against his old club in this game, the Bobcats played away from home and finally defeated the Cavaliers 119-112.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 22 of 34 shots, 10 of 18 three-pointers, and 8 of 12 free throws. He scored 62 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.

At the same time, in this game, Chris Xiaopao continued his excellent assist performance this season, hitting 5 of 11, and scored 11 points and 18 assists in the game.

Zach Randolph made 8 of 18 shots and scored 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Bynum, who started this game for the first time in his career, made 2 of 4, scoring 4 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, which is not bad.

Another starter, Granger, made 6 of 12, finishing the game with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Opposite the Cavaliers, in this game, James made 18 of 30 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 11 free throws. He scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in the game, and he performed equally well.

However, you have to see who you compare with.

"The first person in the league is still the first person in the league!"

Buckley couldn't help but sigh.

Before the start of this season, ESPN said that they were originally planning to place James as the number one player in the NBA.

But finally gave up.

Fortunately they gave up.

Otherwise, I'm afraid my face will be swollen from being slapped.

Xiao Zhan is very, very strong now.

But Chen Xiao can feel that Xiao Zhan has not reached S level yet.

Maybe it’s not a big difference, but if you haven’t arrived, you haven’t arrived.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan is indeed not qualified to be the first person yet.

In Chen Xiao's view, the one who can be the number one player in the NBA right now should be him, one of the top four players, Ko, Idol, and Deng.

Of course, the world in Chen Xiao's eyes is definitely different from the world in the eyes of the media and the world in the eyes of fans.

The game is over.

James and the Cavaliers fans at the scene were a little unsatisfied.

Especially Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Chen, you are stronger!"

"Xiao Zhan, you too."

After the two of them finished speaking, they both laughed again.

Xiao Chen, I will be stronger in the future!

Xiao Zhan, me too!

The smile is full of fighting spirit, and the eyes are full of hope.
