I’m Really Playing Basketball

On February 21, 2006, Chen Xiao, Xiao Pao and others who played in the All-Star Game did not return to Charlotte, but went directly to Denver.

Because after the All-Star break, the Bobcats will have a seven-game road trip to the Western Conference.

This seven-game Western Conference win is the Bobcats' longest road trip this season.

After the All-Star Game is over, the NBA often says it will enter the sprint phase of the season.

The Bobcats now have a record of 28 wins and 25 losses and are ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, just surpassing the Pacers with O'Neal's injury.

They are two games behind the Pistons, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Although the Bobcats have now surpassed the Pacers and reached the eighth position, the Bobcats' position in the playoffs is actually not that stable.

Although the Pacers, who are ninth in the Eastern Conference, are missing O'Neal, they are still very competitive. At the same time, the Chicago Bulls, who are currently tenth in the Eastern Conference, are also rising rapidly.

The Bulls team, which is mostly composed of young players, is the most unexpected in the sprint stage. Most of them are young players, but they are not rookies. They have ability, experience, and physical strength. In addition, as the season progresses, As they continue, they are growing and improving.

Therefore, in the sprint stage, a group of young teams have achieved crazy records in the past years.

For the current Eastern Conference, as long as it does not enter the top five, the rankings of sixth, seventh and eighth really don't mean much.

Because the current top three Bucks in the Eastern Conference, the Heat and Magic are all very strong, extraordinary strength.

The bottom three teams in the Eastern Conference will win less and lose more than any one of these three teams.

Even the Nets, currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, are frantically pushing forward, hoping to get into the top five.

Because the Nets and Raptors are teams in the Atlantic Division, whichever of the two teams can become the fourth team as long as it becomes the first in the division.

Therefore, as long as the Nets have a better record than the Raptors, they can directly become fourth.

The fourth can play the fifth Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are definitely the best among the top six teams, even though this team is the defending champion.

But as the saying goes, without the defending champion of Wonder Boy, the down-and-out Phoenix may not be as good as a fighting chicken.

Of course, for the Heat and Magic, they don't want to beat the Nets third time.

In short, there is really something strange about the eastern part of the country now.

The sixth, seventh and eighth positions in the Eastern Conference don't matter.

But Chen Xiao and the Bobcats must defend their playoff position.

Even if you cry in the playoffs, it's better than sitting in the lottery and crying.

As the number one player in the league, no matter how difficult the environment is, if he cannot lead the team into the playoffs, he will definitely be ridiculed by the world.

So, after the All-Star break, when the Bobcats players gathered again in Denver, the team's head coach Michael Jordan gave a very exciting speech.

I have to say, Michael is still very eloquent.

After Boss Qiao finished motivating the team and letting the team wake up from the dream of entering the playoffs and wake up from the vacation, Chen Xiao, the head coach of the team, echoed Michael's speech and said, "Let the season be over." Carry on to the end! ’ speech.

Chen Xiao pointed out in his speech that the Bobcats must win the final victory in this fierce playoff war.

And elaborated on the twists and turns he took and the victories he achieved with the Nets and Cavaliers.

At the same time, it was also pointed out that at this time, those teams that were surpassed by the Bobcats were absolutely unwilling to give up on the playoffs and withdraw from the playoff stage.

After that, Chen Xiao proposed to continue the season to the end, pointing out that only by completely defeating the opponent and firmly securing the playoff position until the end of the regular season can there be a real victory.

Chen Xiao's speech also further pointed out some noteworthy issues to the Bobcat players, including the players' mentality issues and the team's defensive issues this season.

At the same time, Chen Xiao also looked forward to the upcoming playoff sprint.

Pointing out that the Bobcats' frenzy of growth and progress is forcing NBA teams to change their attitudes toward themselves.

In the past, the Bobcats were a weak team that was not taken seriously and was not targeted. But now, with the rise of the Bobcats, the attitudes of NBA teams towards the Bobcats are undergoing new changes.

The Bobcats must be able to understand that the next game is different from previous games, and must be fully prepared for such changes. As long as the Bobcats players are fully prepared for such changes, they will definitely be able to crush the opponents' attempts to counterattack and counterattack. We will definitely be able to carry this fierce playoff war to the end, thereby achieving the final victory and completing a great season.

Chen Xiao's speech about continuing the season to the end caused a very enthusiastic response.

Even Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su next to them were very excited by what Chen Xiao said.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm really excited. I just feel that the style of this speech is quite familiar."

Xiao Su looked at Chen Xiao in front of him, who was speaking excitedly with his left hand on his hips and his right hand. In his excitement, he whispered to Teacher Zhang next to him.

Yes, more than just familiarity, it is quite familiar to Teacher Zhang and others of his generation.

"Like, so similar!"

By the way, these NBA players have never seen this before.

After being transformed by Chen Xiao's SHZY, everyone just screamed.

"Chairman Chen's three views are too correct!"

"There are not many people in the sports world who are more upright than Chairman Chen. After some people have achieved some success in the international arena, they look down on everything in the country. They consider themselves guests of foreign masters, but they don't know that they are actually Japanese devils."

"That's why Xiaobaobao is so popular!"

During the pre-game open training between the Bobcats and the Nuggets, there were a lot of Chinese reporters, much more than when Chen Xiao and the Bobcats played.

Because many Chinese reporters came here from places like Miami, Memphis and Utah.

Why here?

Because Chen Xiao has scored a total of 390 points in the past eight games in February, Chen Xiao's total career score has reached 9,985 points, only 15 points away from the 10,000-point career milestone.

With Chen Xiao's scoring ability, scoring 15 points is simply a matter of hands.

So in tonight's game against the Nuggets, Chen Xiao will definitely be able to complete the 10,000-point milestone in his career.

The total score of the NBA regular season exceeded 10,000 points. This is also the first Chinese player in NBA history to achieve such an achievement.

Therefore, for the Chinese basketball community, this game between the Bobcats and the Nuggets is still very important.

"Chen Xiao, the next game is about to reach 10,000 points. How are you feeling now?"

After Chen Xiao’s speech, Teacher Zhang asked Chen Xiao with a smile.

"I feel very good. I didn't expect that I have played in the NBA for so long and scored so many points."

Although Chen Xiao is not very interested in being the youngest Mr. 10,000 points, the total score of 10,000 points still makes Chen Xiao a little excited.

After all, every point scored here represents every step he takes in his professional basketball career in the NBA.

And reaching 10,000 points so quickly shows that every step he takes in the NBA is very, very stable.

"Chen Xiao, not only you have never thought about it, but all of us have never thought about the fact that there will be a Chinese player who scores 10,000 points in the NBA."

"There will definitely be more and more in the future."

"you're right."

Chen Xiao and Teacher Zhang looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Xiao is about to score 10,000 points in his career. In fact, not only Chinese reporters are very interested in this, but American public opinion is also interested.

After all, he is the youngest man in history to score 10,000 points.

According to the plan, the game between the Bobcats and the Nuggets was not broadcast live across the United States.

However, because of Chen Xiao's 10,000 points, this game was adjusted to be broadcast live across the United States.

To be fair, American live broadcasters are so professional and must have considered the possible milestones of the league's first player.

In fact, the actuary of the American broadcaster calculated last month that Chen Xiao would not reach 10,000 points until the game against the Suns.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao’s five consecutive 50+ games this month was amazing. Although Chen Xiao and the Bobcats lost four of these five games and their record did not improve, Chen Xiao’s total score accumulation has improved. few.

Chen Xiao's scoring average so far this month is 48.75, which is quite impressive.

On the night of February 21st, the Pepsi Center in Denver, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was full tonight.

As a good friend of Chen Xiao, Xiao Tiantian congratulated Chen Xiao before the game for reaching the milestone of 10,000 points in this game.

It can be seen that Xiao Tiantian is in a good mood recently.

In the West, the pressure of the playoffs is not so great, and in the past All-Star Game, Britney performed well.

And Xiao Tiantian herself is not a very ambitious player.

It can be said that except for the fact that the city of Denver is not very good, he really lived a good life in Denver.

The pressure is not high, the data is not bad, the popularity is not low, it is simply perfect.

It would be better if this was all set in New York.

As a close friend of Xiao Tiantian, Chen Xiao knew very well that Xiao Tiantian was thinking about returning to New York all the time.

Britney is in a good mood now, but for Nuggets head coach George Karl, his mood is not that good.

George Karl has been in a bad mood since leaving the Bucks.

After all, under his hands, Ray Allen is getting worse and worse, and has even 'grown' step by step from a young star with great potential to a borderline superstar.

After leaving him, in George Karl's view, Ray Allen, whose career was already like this, actually had a second spring, growing directly from a fringe superstar to the NBA's regular season MVP.

Well, although the regular season is not over yet, as long as Ray Allen is not injured for the season, no one can stop Ray Allen from becoming the regular season MVP.

Guess what many basketball experts and celebrities say about George Karl now?

They say George Karl is blind. After fighting with Ray Allen for so many years in the Bucks and tormenting Ray Allen for so many years, he is not as good as rookie head coach Terry Porter.

"George Karl perfectly interpreted a so-called tactical master. His tactics are so ridiculous. Although this is hard to accept, George Karl needs to admit one thing, that is, he has no qualifications to play in the NBA. He is not qualified to lose his temper in front of superstar players. His tactical system is not that great. He is not qualified to make superstars sacrifice for his tactical system. He is not Nelson, he is just George Karl."

What he said was quite vicious.

That means, let him not mess with the tactical system in the future, and don't say that he is an academic head coach. You are just a business coach. You are not even qualified to be a qualified business coach. You should be attached to the superstar. business coach is not as good as Terry Porter, a rookie coach.

For the always proud George Karl, such a comment was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

It can be said that he has been living in the shadow of Ray Allen for the past two seasons.

Especially this season when Ray Allen led the Bucks to great success.

George Karl wanted to prove himself.

But obviously, just leading the Nuggets into the playoffs will definitely not be able to prove themselves.

However, what makes him uncomfortable is that as the head player of the team, Anthony really does not have as big ambitions as him.

He wants to do better with the Nuggets than the Bucks, but Anthony feels that the team is very good now.

This pains George Karl.

Historically, George Karl had more pain coaching Anthony than Ray Allen.

This can be seen from his evaluation of Anthony when he published the book.

"I think a truly great player focuses on the victory of the team, the success or failure of the team, and how to win the championship. Great players will strictly demand themselves, be willing to make sacrifices, and require themselves to improve every day, but Anthony is not. Anthony He is a very selfish player who has no talent but is not a qualified leader. He is unlikely to become a great player. His career is a joke. Trading him is the most correct decision for the team."

George Carl's comments about Britney caused an uproar.

George Karl's evaluation of Anthony is definitely inappropriate. The two have been masters and apprentices for so many years, and they are just like enemies.

But what’s interesting is that after George Karl made such comments about Britney, everyone was criticizing George Karl, but even the die-hard fans of Britney felt that some of George Karl’s comments about Britney were very correct.

Because George Carl's evaluation of Britney is the same as that of many die-hard Britney fans, and they are angry.

Objectively speaking, George Karl is right. It is precisely because of this that as a melon, I feel that Britney's career is such a pity.

Even in 2021, Britney's offensive efficiency and ability are among the top ten in the league, and she is still the key player who can shoot against defenders.

For a player with such talent and skills, why does his career stop at being a superstar? Why can't he go to the next level?

George Karl's assessment of Britney says it all. Britney was undefensive, selfish, and unwilling to share.

Although it sounds hard to say, it is true.

Moreover, Xiao Tiantian's fighting spirit is always quite confusing. It comes and goes quickly, and she is not focused enough.

When Britney faced Xiao Zhan, Ke LaoDa and Du Du, he performed so strongly that James, Pierce, Kobe and Durant all felt that Anthony was the most difficult player to defend in the league.

Even when Xiao Du won the MVP, some people said that Xiao Tiantian beat Xiao Du while eating and sleeping.

Britney is not without competitiveness, but his competitiveness appears too rarely, and in the NBA, to be successful, you need continuous competitiveness, not this intermittent one.

And what was Britney's state like during most of the season?

Offensive shot casually, defense from time to time dazed, uncontrollable temper and always smiling indifferent appearance, to be honest, cute is cute, but at first glance he is not a person who does big things.

Of course, for Xiao Tiantian, he is rich, handsome, and has a beautiful wife, so he doesn't need to make a world-shattering career, as long as he keeps everything he owns.

As for desperate matters, don't come to me.

To be honest, this is quite heartbreaking. Not only George Karl is heartbroken, but many die-hard Britney Spears fans are also heartbroken.

Let's put it this way, any old fan of Xiao Tiantian would be willing to accept the growing gap between Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Zhan?

Who would be willing for Xiao Tiantian to be constantly surpassed by Xiao Du, George, and even Xiao Ka, and finally end up "living on the street"?

Of course, these things will happen in the future. Xiao Tiantian, who is only in third grade now, does not know what will happen in the future.

Xiao Tiantian now only knows that as long as she accepts the setting in Denver, she will be quite happy here.

At this time, Xiao Tiantian completely failed to notice that his mentality had already caused his team's head coach George Karl to have a strong opinion of him.

This game between the Bobcats and the Nuggets is the second meeting between the two teams this season.

The last time they met, the Bobcats defeated the Nuggets in three quarters at home.

In that game, Xiaopao even regretted not having a 58 against the Nuggets.

It shows how badly the Bobcats beat the Nuggets in that game.

It can be said that the Bobcats are the nemesis team of the Nuggets.

Why is this so?

Mainly because the Nuggets' defense is so poor.

The Bobcats, who have a camp full of rookies, like to play teams like the Nuggets that can't defend well.

If you defend well, like the Pistons do, rookies like the Bobcats will feel like a nightmare. They can't show their strength at all. If they can't show their strength, their mentality will collapse. If their mentality collapses, the team itself will collapse.

But the Nuggets are different.

Facing the Nuggets, the young Bobcats all dared to fight and fight hard. As their morale improved, they became even more daring to fight and fight hard.

If you allow a group of young people to dare to fight, it will be very dangerous.

In this game between the Bobcats and the Nuggets, how fragile is the Nuggets' defense?

Chen Xiao couldn't even use his newly acquired dreamy feet in this game, and the Nuggets collapsed.

To be honest, the fantasy pace is still too slow. Against the Nuggets, the Bobcats players don't need such slow-paced inside singles. When they rush, the Nuggets will basically disappear.

In the end, the Bobcats, who were playing away from home, easily defeated the 29-26 Nuggets 124-100.

At the end of this game, George Karl's face was so livid that it was terrifying.

Nuggets, this is not a rookie team.

But now, the Nuggets can't even beat a rookie team.

How does this sit well with George Karl?

Of course, at this time, Xiao Tiantian did not notice the very ugly look on George Karl's face.

Immediately after the game, I congratulated Chen Xiao again for scoring 10,000 points in this game.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao faced Britney Anthony's defense. He used a very unusual change of direction to get past Britney and then hit a mid-range hit. He scored the 16th point of the game and also completed 10,000. achievement.

In this game against the Nuggets, Chen Xiao is now 23 years and 100 days old. He completed 10,000 points in his career at the age of 23 and 100 days, making Chen Xiao the youngest person in NBA history to score 10,000 points.

He is more than a year younger than the second-youngest Kobe Bryant (24 years and 194 days) and the third-youngest Tracy McGrady (24 years and 272 days).

After Chen Xiao became the youngest 10,000-point player in the NBA, Barkley, the commentator for this game, kept saying on the sidelines that Chen Xiao had the opportunity to become another 30,000-point player in the NBA, or even 40,000-point player.

"We witnessed Chen Xiao's 10,000th point in this game against the Nuggets, and we will also witness Wonder Boy's 20,000 points, 30,000 points, and even 40,000 points in future games!"

I have to say that Barkley's expectations for Chen Xiao are really high.

Even if Chen Xiao has scored 10,000 points now, everyone just says that he, Kobe, McGrady, and Iverson are among the players most likely to reach 30,000 points after O'Neal.

By the way, in this era, the players who are considered most likely to reach 30,000 points are Maizi and Iverson.

However, no one expected that Wheat would fall off a cliff later, nor did they expect that Iverson would be homeless and end up with no ball to play.

10,000 points is different from other milestones within 10,000 points. When you get 10,000 points, others' expectations for you will become even greater.

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy, he has reached a new level in his career!"

In this game, Chen Xiao made 12 of 18 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 34 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in the three quarters. Because he reached the 10,000-point milestone, he became the best player in the game and even in the United States. Focus.

Except for Chen Xiao, in this game, he made 5 of 16 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 14 points, 14 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.

Zach Randolph made 10 of 16 and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block in the game.

At the same time, Lou Williams, who started the game, made 5 of 15, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored a career-high 13 points and made 4 turnovers.

This week's heads-up runner-up is Lou Williams, who will earn a starting spot on the team the following week.

It's been a long, long time since Lou Williams was a starter.

Compared to the last time, this time, Lou Williams has really grown.

Although his statistics still look so bad.

Four turnovers and no assists.

But at least I dare to throw it away!

After the game, Chen Xiao became the focus of everyone's congratulations. James, Wade, and Dayao were all congratulating him.

The Nuggets head coach George Karl was heartbroken at this time...

I'm not happy, and you don't want to be happy either! !

At this time, Xiao Tiantian, who smiled sweetly for Chen Xiao, had no idea that she was being targeted.

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket! ! !
