I’m Really Playing Basketball

On February 18, due to the interaction between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, two of the most popular kings this season, in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the whole country was discussing the ‘confrontation’ between the two during the All-Star Weekend.

As the two hottest players in the league right now, the comparison and confrontation between the two is all-round.

Whether it is for popularity or traffic, the American media will be keen to rubbish the two people.

Similarly, as fans of the NBA, when all media reporters are talking about the two, it is difficult for fans not to pay attention.

Just like the All-Star Rookie Challenge, it was Iguodala who beat Chris Paul to win the MVP. This was Iguodala's victory, but the media insisted on saying that it was an overt and covert fight between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen during the All-Star Weekend. , in the end Ray Allen defeated Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao must have scoffed at this statement before.

But now, Chen Ling felt that since the system had such tasks, Chen Ling would definitely go all out.

So on the morning of February 18th, Chen Xiao gathered his good friends and younger brothers to prepare for the All-Star Skills Competition at night.

The mission of the system is to defeat the mission, as long as his little brother can defeat Ray Allen's little brother.

Skills challenge, showdown between Cannon and Diener, showdown between Granger and Michael Reed in three-point shooting contest, showdown between Bynum and Iguodala in dunk contest.

To be honest, among these three groups, Chen Xiao was not sure about any of them.

Xiaopao's ball control is very good, his speed is fast, and his passing is good. This is indeed an advantage in the skill challenge.

But Xiaopao's three-point shooting is just average.

And what about Deana?

Chen Xiao knows this college teammate of his very well. Under Chen Xiao's guidance, Dina is also very good at controlling the ball. At the same time, his passing is not bad. His speed is definitely not as good as Xiaopao, but his three-pointers Very strong.

The Bucks' backup point guard shot 44% from three-point range this season!

Xiao Pao's three-point shooting percentage is only 35%.

Of course, a 35% shooting rate is not too bad. Xiaopao has a chance to pass the shooting session in one go.

However, it is obvious that Diener has a better chance of passing it off.

Therefore, although the small cannon seems to have an advantage, in fact, it is very dangerous if the small cannon's shot cannot be passed in one go.

Let’s talk about the three-point contest, Granger and Michael Reed.

Historically, Granger's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs this season was as high as 56%, which can be said to be accurate. In the regular season, Granger's three-point shooting percentage next to Chen Xiao and Xiao Pao was But it's not that accurate, just 39%. For a rookie player, this shooting rate is not bad. This is why he can successfully register for the three-point shooting contest.

Compared with Granger, Michael Reid's shooting percentage is higher, reaching 39.5%.

If you want to talk about three-point shooting ability, of course Michael Reid is stronger now.

However, the three-point shooting competition is not necessarily a pure competition of three-point shooting ability.

The Three-Point Contest has many shooting restrictions, including time, rhythm changes, etc. Michael Reid's shooting posture is not very formal.

In the game, there is no problem with such a shooting posture. There is no time or requirement anyway, as long as you can hit it.

But when it comes to the three-point shooting competition, continuous shots, and continuous shots with time. If the posture is not very correct, it needs to be adjusted. If you adjust too much, it will easily mess up the rhythm.

Therefore, compared to the duel between Xiaopao and Dina in the Skills Challenge.

Chen Xiao is actually more optimistic about Granger.

Because Granger is a very down-to-earth player with excellent basic skills. At the same time, his mentality is very stable. He is a player who is calm in chaos. Such a player is definitely the kind of player who is suitable to be a key player. Such a player Players are very suitable for participating in the three-point contest and very easy to make a splash.

And the slam dunk contest...

Well, Chen Xiao definitely gave up on the duel between Bynum and Iguodala.

Bynum came to the slam dunk contest this time purely for fun.

Thought All-Star Weekend might be fun.

And Iguodala is a well-known dunker in the United States. In last night's Rookie Challenge, Iguodala dunked many wonderful dunks, making him the biggest favorite in this dunk contest.

Now that he knows the focus of this confrontation with Ray Allen, Chen Xiao certainly needs to be prepared.

For example, Chen Xiao was going to improvise and take Granger to practice three-pointers, and at the same time let Brother Luo and Xiaopao practice the skills challenge together.

As for coaching Bynum to dunk.

Well, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Tai, these dunkers are not interested at all.

Mainly, everyone dislikes this young man with a somewhat eccentric personality.

Of course, it is not that no one is willing to help Chen Xiao coach Bynum, a young man. For example, Stephen Curry, the son of Warriors assistant coach Dell Curry, is very interested in coaching Bynum to dunk.

However, Chen Xiao felt that it was better to forget it.

Although he gave up the slam dunk contest, Chen Xiao couldn't really let Curry coach Bynum. The relationship between these two little guys on the team is actually very good.

Although Bynum is not popular within the Bobcats, he is also not popular among Chen Xiao's circle of friends.

But this young center with a bit of a brain problem unexpectedly matches the brainwaves of Curry, so the two of them are very close to each other in the Bobcats.

Curry Jr. feels that when Bynum wins the dunk contest under his guidance, he himself is equivalent to winning the dunk contest.

"Dwight, you go coach Andrew's dunk."

"why me?!"

Howard was stunned.

He also doesn't like Bynum. He coaches this guy with a hole in his head. Is he sick?

If it was Blatche, he would have no problem, and everyone could usually coo together.

"Dwight, this is your test for joining the Wolf King Cult. As long as you can teach Andrew to win the slam dunk contest, your position in the Wolf King Cult will be promoted from the Eight King Kong to the Four Heavenly Kings."

"I teach!"

"..."

Seeing Howard, who looked disgusted just now, suddenly became full of fighting spirit, and looked like he must teach Bynum. Next to him, Howard's boss Luo Ge and Howard's second brother Arenas didn't know what to say.

Especially Arenas.

Aren't they just the Four Heavenly Kings?

I, Arenas, have never felt that the Four Heavenly Kings taught by Mamba are so great!

If Chen Xiao knew what Arenas was thinking, he would definitely find it interesting.

Gilbert, because you don't like the boss.

And Dwight is quite a fan of my family's plus idol, and the kind of fan who is crazy.

Howard had three idols in his career. When he was playing point guard, when he was not that tall, Howard's idol was Jordan. When he grew to 2.05 meters, his idol was Magic.

These two idols are said to be idols, simply because they feel that these two people have a similar style to me, and hope that with my conditions, I can become him in the future.

And Garnett is different, Garnett directly affected Howard's style of play and game style.

And after arriving in the league, during last year's playoffs, Howard also received one-on-one guidance from Garnett. He felt Garnett's "great personality" and was even more obsessed with Garnett.

For Howard, the promotion of every position in the Wolf King's teaching makes his heart beat.

The Eight Great King Kongs, the Four Heavenly Kings, and finally became the guardians of the left and right. It is Howard's long-cherished wish to protect the "Spirit of Garnett and the Wolf King".

Therefore, in order to be promoted to the right and left guardian, Howard felt that he would not only teach Bynum, a fool, to be the dunk king, but he would even train Zhu Fangyu to be the dunk king!

Seeing Howard's full fighting spirit, Chen Xiao didn't have much confidence.

Howard is not a good dunker, what can he teach, even if he can teach, he can't teach anything so fast.

So for tonight's skills competition, Chen Xiao's focus is still on the skills challenge and three-point shooting contest.

Chen Xiao's sudden focus on knowing Paul and Granger is certainly not a secret. Many people say that this is to compete with Ray Allen.

Ray Allen, who was attending a community charity event in the afternoon, also heard this information. Ray Allen was stunned for a moment and was not surprised.

This season he has been competing with Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao is competing with him. Is there anything strange about this?

Even when he heard that Chen Xiao and he were competing in this aspect, Ray Allen was even happy in his heart.

Because Ray Allen has been competing with Chen Xiao since a long time ago.

He had always thought before that he might be hot.

After all, Chen Xiao has been too successful in the NBA. Now the honors Chen Xiao has received in the NBA are beyond even his flattery. Chen Xiao may not take him seriously.

Now, he knows that Chen Xiao is not ignoring him, Chen Xiao also attaches great importance to him.

Therefore, Chen Xiao competing with him would not make him feel bad, and would even make him feel recognized.

"I think this is very interesting. The All-Star Weekend is originally a very big show. Each of us hopes to show everything about ourselves to the world in this show. I look forward to Chen's challenge and I also believe in my teammates. Everyone, whether it's Michael, Andre or Travis, they're all great."

Because of the confrontation between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen's teammates, the skills competition on Saturday, February 18th attracted special attention.

Unlike the Rookie Challenge last night, Gao Peng was satisfied with tonight's skills competition.

Although Friday's Rookie Challenge is also an All-Star Weekend game, strictly speaking, in fact, most of the real All-Stars will not attend the Friday Rookie Game on Saturday and Sunday. .

Starting from Saturday, both the live audience and the audience in front of the TV will be able to see the piles of All-Stars on the sidelines.

Chen Xiao, James, Duncan, Ray Allen, Wade, Yao Ming, Michael Reid, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Carter, Nash, Paul

O'Neal, Garnett, Ron Howard, Kobe, Kidd, Stoudemire, Arenas, Howard, Gasol, Nowitzki, Anthony, Brand and so on.

This year, almost all the All-Stars from the East and West and some big-name players from the NBA attended tonight's skills competition.

However, although everyone is very much looking forward to the confrontation between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen's teammates, the first game of the skills competition is the shooting star game.

Although this shooting star competition did not attract so much attention, the star flavor this year is actually very strong.

Of the four teams participating this time, the Los Angeles team is led by Lakers player Kobe Bryant. The remaining two are the scoring leader in WNBA history, Sparks center Leslie, the legendary Lakers superstar and the greatest player in the NBA. Point guard, "Magic" Johnson.

This lineup is definitely the best, the best of the best in Los Angeles.

Although the other teams are not as luxurious as Los Angeles, they are still very good.

The members of the host Houston team are Mosaic star Jay Williams, the Comets' two-time WNBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year Sheryl Swope, as well as the famous former Mosaic star and NBA Hall of Fame member "Glider" Drexler.

The best of Houston is not as good as that of Los Angeles, but it is still full of the best.

The Phoenix team also includes Suns boss O'Neal, WNBA Mercury guard Kelly Miller, and former Suns All-Star player Dan Mayor.

And the San Antonio team has All-Star guard Rod Thorn, WNBA Silver Stars forward Kendra Vick and NBA "N Championship" winner, sharpshooter Steve Kerr, who is now an assistant coach of the Bobcats.

In perhaps the most luxurious competition in the history of the Shooting Stars competition, the San Antonio team, which was not expected in the end, won the championship with the best time in history of 25.1 seconds.

The Los Angeles team led by Kobe Bryant was second in 41.3 seconds, the Houston team led by Jay Williams was third in 47.2 seconds, and the Phoenix team led by O'Neal was last in 47.7 seconds.

By the way, in the game, Ron Howard and Kobe Bryant's shots from the center circle were all hit with one hit. Especially Ron Howard, who led the San Antonio team to take the lead, and Luo Ge himself took the lead. Every shot was a hit, consecutively. The long-range shot in the center circle was also successful in one shot. In the end, it took the San Antonio team only 25.1 seconds to complete all shots.

As for Los Angeles, although the boss is very good, Leslie and Magic are holding back.

"Brother Luo's shooting form is really good this season!"

Watching Luo Ge lift the Shooting Star championship trophy, Chen Xiao next to him said to Wade next to him.

"I think it's luck!"

"Luck is also a kind of state."

"makes sense."

Wade smiled.

After the shooting star game, it was the much-anticipated contest between Friends of Chen Xiao and Friends of Ray Allen.

In this skills challenge, the four players participating were Wade, James, Xiao Pao and Diner.

Among them, Xiao Pao and Diener have the highest odds, followed closely by Wade and James.

In the preliminaries, Xiaopao was the first to appear.

Seeing Xiaopao wearing the Bobcats' No. 3 jersey and confidently appearing on the stage with his stubborn cheeks puffed out, Chen Xiao applauded and whistled on the sidelines.

"Xiao Pao, don't let me down at the critical moment!"

Chen Xiao felt that in tonight's three confrontations, although Xiaopao was not very stable, Xiaopao should still be the strongest among the three in terms of reliability at critical moments.

Chen Xiao still believes in Xiaopao's ability at critical moments.

Therefore, seeing Chen Xiao shouting and yelling next to him, Ray Allen looked at him with some suspicion.

Chris Paul's odds are slightly better than Diener's.

However, there is still a chance!

Although it is indeed difficult.

And just when Ray Allen was thinking about the winning rate of Dina and Xiaopao, soon, there was a burst of exclamation on the scene.

Xiaopao, who was the first to appear, went very smoothly in layups and dribbling, but when passing the ball, Xiaopao made mistakes one after another, and the final time was actually 42.6 seconds!

When Xiao Pao completed his game, Chen Xiao next to him was shocked, the smile on his face froze, and his hands kept clapping.

Xiaopao actually made so many mistakes in passing? !

How can this be!

It's not shooting, it's passing!

If you made so many mistakes in shooting, I would admit it, but this is shooting!

This is just like Chen Xiao expecting Xiaopao to score 40 points in a game, but Xiaopao gave him a painless 20+10 with a backhand.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the incredible expression on Chen Xiao's face at this moment. Ray Allen said that he really wanted to laugh, but...

Hmm, stay a gentleman and stay steady. Although I won, I have to keep my demeanor!

Therefore, Ray Allen, who wanted to laugh next to him, did not laugh, but smiled like a gentleman.

And he applauded Dina very elegantly for his confident appearance.

At this time, the audience who saw Chen Xiao's constipation and Ray Allen's elegant appearance in front of the TV were laughing like crazy.

But soon, the elegant Ray Allen disappeared from TV.

Soon, the smile on Ray Allen's face solidified like Chen Xiao's.

Because Diener, who came on for the second time, also made a huge mistake and missed his first pass. If it was just this, it would not be enough to solidify the smile on Ray Allen's face.

The key is that he also had problems with the long-range shots that Diener was very good at, missing five times in a row!

This result is too surprising!

Originally Xiaopao's time of over 40 seconds had shocked Chen Xiao, but it turned out that Dina actually took 50.2 seconds!

Seeing the results that Dina achieved this time, Chen Xiao almost couldn't help laughing.

Ha ha ha ha!

What is a bright future? This is a bright future!

Of course, Chen Ling didn't laugh.

But the audience on the sidelines really couldn't hold it back.

The two biggest favorites just fell into disgrace.

This is so surprising and funny.

So much so that even Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tai felt that this was too dramatic.

The two did not miss this opportunity. Xiao Zhan was a little hung up. He had a problem with the pass. He failed to pass the ball into the circle 4 times. He only hit the long shot after the third one. In the end, he made a beautiful shot. The dunk ended in 40.5 seconds.

Xiao Zhan is also very unreliable!

Of course, it is more reliable than the small cannon.

And Xiaotai was amazing. Wade started well in the preliminaries. He hit both passes with one hit, but it took him five shots to hit. In the end, it took 39 seconds. He entered the finals first in the preliminaries.

If it were just like this, Chen Xiao would never say that Xiaotai is great.

With such disastrous results in the preliminaries, in the finals, many people have already said that this year's Skills Challenge is the worst Skills Challenge.

Xiao Zhan, who was the first to appear in the finals, only succeeded in his fourth close pass, but after that he went smoothly and passed the shot in one shot. It took a total of 33.7 seconds. After the end, Xiao Zhan was already celebrating the championship. .

But Xiaotai, who appeared in the final, really broke the waist of the entire audience and the audience around the world.

Wade, who had such poor results in the preliminaries, reached the finals. He hit a pass and a long shot. Everything was a success. He performed very strongly and finally completed the performance with a dunk, which took a total of 26.1 seconds.

This result...

If it were Chen Xiao or Nash who achieved such results, no one would be surprised.

But this person is Wade, so that’s a big problem!

"Dwyane never disappoints when it counts."

Brother Luo next to Chen Xiao said appreciatively.

Even Chen Xiao, who was shocked by Wade's results, nodded numbly.

Of course, after recovering from his stunned look, Chen Xiao looked at the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the host's younger brother Chris Paul for successfully defeating Travis Deaner in the skills challenge. Mission completion: D level. The host will be rewarded with a D level ability card with hidden attributes (increasing the hidden ability value below 70). Attribute 5 points.)"

PS: Please vote for me, please vote for me!

PS: This is how Xiao Pao performed in the Skills Challenge in history. The same is true for James and Wade. The prototype of Diner's performance belongs to Nash. The Diner in the book is a beggar version of Nash.
