I’m Really Playing Basketball

On April 18, 2006, the game between the Bobcats and the New York Knicks ended at Madison Square Garden Arena in New York.

Playing away from home, the Charlotte Bobcats, the team currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, finally defeated the Knicks, who put up a very tenacious resistance in this game, 118-111.

In this game, as the head player of the Bobcats, Chen Xiao made 20 of 37 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 51 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in the game. Super data, finally reaching a record of 50+ in six consecutive games.

In this game, Chen Xiao broke his current record of 50+ points in five consecutive games, pushing the current record to six consecutive games.

This is a record that is exciting enough for fans and media. Even the New York fans at the scene are excited about this record.

As a "hot weapon" manufacturing factory for NBA superstars, New York Knicks fans actually enjoy being educated and rubbed by NBA superstars in their own homes.

So, as long as you are strong enough, you can get their applause.

Chen Xiao's friction with the Knicks this season is definitely the strongest among all players in NBA history.

The first time the two teams met this season, Chen Xiao scored 66 points, the second time they met, Chen Xiao scored 75 points, and the third time they met, this one, Chen Xiao scored 66 points in Madison. Plaza Garden scored 'only' 51 points.

"Only 51 points" was not what Chen Xiao said, but the headline that was immediately printed by the Charlotte Observer and many media after the game.

This is much scarier than Kobe Bryant and Chen Xiao who only scored 40+ before.

However, Chen Xiao is qualified to have such a title, because Chen Xiao scored the least points in this game against the Knicks this season. Chen Xiao averaged more than 60 points per game against the Knicks this season.

It can be clearly seen how "murderous" Chen Xiao is against the Knicks this season.

But this is normal.

After all, Chen Xiao is a player from the Nets, and Knicks fans wanted to usurp the Nets.

At the same time, no matter who makes Larry Brown the head coach of the Knicks, he will be ruthless.

The blessing of double Buff makes Chen Xiao want to fuck Knicks hard when he sees him.

In fact, because of the blessing of Larry Brown, a huge buff head coach who is full of enemies in the NBA, the Knicks have often been beaten hard this season.

For example, Wade, Anthony and Xiao Zhan have all had fun here.

However, no matter how much fun these people had, they couldn't compare to Chen Xiao.

He averaged 64 points in three games against the Knicks this season, which is really unheard of.

It can be said that Knicks fans are really conquered by Chen Xiao this season, and Madison Square Garden, the holy land of the NBA, also seems to be conquered by Chen Xiao.

Facing the place he conquered, Chen Xiao didn't stay too long.

Because Chen Xiao and Bobcat players have more important things to do now.

"Xiao Chen, don't you stay a little longer today?"

Seeing Chen Xiao leaving in a hurry after accepting the on-site interview, Teacher Zhang was quite regretful.

There are still so many New York fans staying here to cheer for Chen Xiao.

What a cool scene this is!

Chinese players have conquered the holy land of NBA basketball. This is more enthusiastic than the first person in the NBA to attract the enthusiasm of the Chinese domestic audience.

Such a scene needs a lot of enjoyment.

"Teacher Zhang, forget it this time. I really want to see how the Bucks and Pistons match goes."

Today's game between the Bobcats and the Pistons, the game between the Bobcats and the Knicks is in the front, and the game between the Pistons and the Bucks is in the back.

Called half an hour late.

In order to avoid distractions in this game, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players will definitely not be distracted by the Pistons game during the game.

Although the Knicks are weak, the referee of this game is Donaghy, who has been very controversial recently, and this is why the Bobcats encountered very strong resistance from the Knicks in this game.

And this is why Chen Xiao attacked so fiercely in this game, only taking 10 free throws.

This is also the reason why Bynum and Granger, the Bobcats' starting two rookies, were all sent off.

And this is why the Bobcats made 16 free throws and the Knicks made 48 free throws.

This referee, who has been very controversial recently, tried his best to make the Bobcats lose in this game. He wanted to make the Bobcats lose like crazy.

It's a pity that he failed in the end. After all, he didn't have such a big tone to blow away Chen Xiao's throws against Marbury and Crawford.

At the same time, he couldn't blow into those cancerous singles of Crawford and Marbury.

You can't even punish Chen Xiao, can you?

The Bobcats have sent out four players in this game, and Marbury and Crawford have both scored 20 free throws.

Seriously, while those behind the scenes want Donaghy to go crazy, don't hold back.

But really, Donaghy himself was scared.

He is different from that behind the scenes.

He's not really for the NBA, there's really something under his ass!

So after blackmailing James Son of America, he was really scared when he was named by N's American media to investigate him.

If possible, he really just wants to be a dream chaser who hides in the dark, works hard to make money, uses his refereeing job to achieve class leaps, and achieves success. He doesn't want to be caught in the spotlight.

When he fouled out four Bobcats players in this game, his hands were shaking and his mouth was shaking when he blew the whistle.

Of course, Chen Xiao naturally didn't know this.

Because Chen Xiao and the others had already made predictions about this recently controversial head coach, Chen Xiao and the others did not argue about anything he did on the court.

Otherwise, like Duncan, who smiled and applauded him from the sidelines and was ejected by two consecutive technical fouls, he would be in trouble.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players leaving in such a hurry, Teacher Zhang and the Chinese reporters next to them actually wanted to say something, but found that nothing could be said, and finally shook their heads.

Finally, Teacher Zhang looked at Chen Xiao's hurried back and sighed helplessly.

When Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players returned to the locker room, the game between the Pistons and Bucks had reached 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

At this time, the score between the two sides on the court was 105 to 95. It was not the Bucks who were in front, but the Pistons.

A 10-point difference is not that big. Six minutes is enough time for the Bucks, the most terrifying offensive team this season, to catch up.

But what surprised and silenced Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players was that at this time, the Bucks players on the field were Travis Diener, Azar, Bobby Simmons, Kukoc, and Joe Smith.

Except for Ariza, there is no starting player. This lineup...

At the decisive moment of the game, all four of the Pistons' Tigers came up, but the Bucks only used such a substitute lineup.

"The Bucks have no intention of winning this game. The Bucks have decided to beat us in the playoffs."

After the cannon next to them finished speaking, Dell Curry and Steve Kerr announced the Bucks' starting lineup for this game to everyone.

The Bucks' current lineup is the Bucks' starting lineup for this game.

The four core starters of Ray Allen, Michael Reed, Iguodala, and Braxon did not play in this game.

"Obviously, the Bucks are going to stop us in a back-to-back tomorrow and knock us from seventh to eighth."

When the Pistons and Bobcats were placed in front of the Bucks, the Bucks had to choose which team to play.

The Bucks actually have three options.

One choice is the Bobcats, one choice is the Pistons, and the other choice is that as the team with the strongest record in the NBA this season, he can choose no one and play both games normally. The final result will be whatever it is. Kind of.

Choosing either of the two previous choices would be an insult to the chosen team, and would even be a bit of a disgrace to the team that ranks first in the league and has the best record in history.

After all, choosing either of the first two can be interpreted as fearing the other.

By choosing the Bobcats, many people can understand that the Bucks are afraid of the Pistons.

Choosing the Pistons, many people can understand that the Bucks are afraid of the Bobcats.

Therefore, for the Bobcats, this choice of the Bucks is definitely the worst choice for themselves.

I'm afraid it's also an extremely bad choice for the Bucks themselves.

The reason why the Bucks made such a choice to rest the main players and fight against the Bucks in the next game is probably because this team really wants to beat the Bobcats in the playoffs.

Whether it is because they want to take the first player in the league as a footnote for their season, crush the first player in the league in the playoffs, and make themselves more successful this season, or because they really look down on the Bobcats, I am afraid only the Bucks themselves know this.

It should be said that it is both.

If they really valued the Bobcats' strength, the Bucks would not choose to play a more difficult team in the first round.

In any case, this operation by the Bucks made all Bobcat players in front of the TV feel deeply offended.

“Guys, we’re being underestimated!

It doesn't matter if we are looked down upon by others. What is important is that we must make those who look down on us pay the price! "

After Uncle Qiao finished speaking viciously, the originally silent atmosphere in the Bobcats locker room was instantly broken.

For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud until Chen Xiao's voice came.

"I suddenly felt that eighth was not bad."

Chen Ling's voice was very soft, and there was a slight smile on his face.

On the 18th, after the Bobcats defeated the New York Knicks in an away game, the focus of the entire NBA was not on Chen Xiao's six consecutive 50+ games.

The focus of the entire NBA is on the game between the Pistons and the Bucks, and the Bucks finally let the Pistons go.

The 72-8 Bucks ultimately did not choose to achieve the epic 73-win record with the Pistons.

The Bucks let the Pistons play this game, and of course they will not let go of the chance to break the 72 wins of the Bulls and Nets this season.

From the Bucks' point of view, even if they let go of the game with the Pistons, they still have a sufficient winning rate against the Bobcats.

"The league's number one wonder boy will become the brightest pearl in the Bucks' great 'crown' this season!"

Using the league's No. 1 player as a footnote to his 73 wins this season, I have to say that the Bucks' choice is indeed calculated enough. If it can be achieved, it will indeed be a classic enough.

Moreover, doing so not only makes Chen Xiao the crown jewel of his regular season, but also makes Chen Xiao the person he uses to honor his flag during his playoff journey and NBA journey.

Taking the number one player in the league as the flag bearer for your journey, don’t you think this is very impressive?

That’s definitely a pretty good deal!

So after the game on April 18, the media and public opinion across the United States were praising the Bucks for their ability to play and their wit.

After all, the Bucks' choice happens to be what they like to see the most. They just hope that Chen Xiao will beat Ray Allen in the playoffs.

For a time, the entire NBA was filled with praise.

On the other side, when Chen Ling returned to Charlotte, she received calls from Wade and Dayao.

The voices on the phone between the two were very angry.

Because the Bucks' choice not only made Chen Xiao feel offended.

The same is true for Dayao and Wade.

"Don't we just want to meet once in the playoffs?

Why is it so difficult? ! "

Wade even came close to yelling at the Bucks.

Of course, I'm not criticizing the Bucks' two friends, Deaner and Braxson. They have high status in the Bucks, but they are not decision-makers and have little decision-making power.

The Bucks' choice is definitely not something they can decide.

Facing such an angry Wade, Chen Xiao calmed down at this moment.

So he smiled at Wade on the other end of the phone and said: "Who said we can't meet in the playoffs?

As long as we keep going, we will eventually meet. "

"..."

List? !

Wade's anger turned to shock.

April 19, 2006, the last day of the 2005-2006 NBA regular season.

On this day, there are many focus battles, but the most watched game is of course the game between the Bobcats and the Bucks.

When they set foot on the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the Bucks players were all very excited.

Well, apart from Dina and Braxon, the other Bucks players are really quite excited.

To be honest, if the number one player in the league wasn't Chen Xiao, Dina and Braxon would also be very excited.

After all, is there anything more exciting than letting the first player in the league be the last of his 73 wins?

After all, is there anything more suitable than letting the No. 1 player in the league be the person who opens the door for his journey to the playoffs and the finals?

From the point of view of the Bucks, they are desperately trying to get 73 wins this season, isn't it just to get more and greater achievements?

Even if they knew that their choice was full of offense to Chen Xiao, the number one player in the league.

But who made Chen Xiao the number one player in the league!

If Billups was the best player in the league, they would do the same to Billups and the Pistons.

Their choice was not against Chen Xiao, it was just for the number one player in the league!

so……

"If you want to blame it, blame it on your own choice. The best player in the league is on the worst team. If you don't pick someone else, who will you pick?"

The Bucks players were extremely confident amid the boos from the audience.

But soon.

When the players from both sides finished warming up and the starting players on both sides stood on the court, the Bucks' starting players on the court were all confused.

Because none of the five Bobcat starting players standing in front of them is the Chinese they are familiar with!

Center Gortat, power forward Blatche, small forward Granger, shooting guard Monta Alice, point guard Lou Williams.

This is the starting lineup for the Bobcats tonight.

When everyone saw the Bobcats' starting lineup, they were all confused.

Including Bucks players, including Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines.

"The Bobcats have given up on the game?"

"Has the lynx accepted its fate?"

When everyone looked to the sidelines with questions, the boss of the Bobcats, now No. 11 in a suit, that familiar figure was looking at Ray Allen on the court with his hands folded, smiling.

"The Bobcats and Wonder Boy didn't give up. Wonder Boy actively chose to play the Bucks in the playoffs!"

"The Bucks failed to let Wonder Boy become the pearl of their 73 wins, but the Bucks saw that Wonder Boy actively chose to beat them in the playoffs!"

Looking at the Chinese man looking at him with a smile on the sidelines, Ray Allen frowned.

Because he saw that there was more than just a smile in Chen Xiao's eyes.

Those big talking eyes seemed to be telling him, saying something like this to him: "Crown or pearls, who is the pearl, who has the crown, who is the footnote of who, it is still unknown now!"

Who is whose pearl?

Who has the brightest crown?

After Ray Allen looked away from Chen Xiao on the sidelines, he clenched his fists tightly.

He learned about Chen Xiao's persistence and confidence.

but!

On April 19, the much-anticipated game between the Bobcats and the Bucks ended. The Bobcats lost to the Bucks 95-135 at home.

,

The Bobcats were beaten by the angry Bucks by 40 points at home.

The Bucks eventually won 73 games over the Bobcats, becoming the team with the best record in NBA history.

But when the game ended, when the camera was focused on Ray Allen and Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao, a loser, always has a faint smile on his face.

Winner's Ray Allen didn't have a smile on his face.

"The crown must be mine, and you will definitely be the brightest pearl on my crown!"

After Ray Allen took a deep look at Chen Xiao, he left Charlotte with the Bucks.

The No. 1 Bucks in the Eastern Conference VS the No. 8 Bobcats in the Eastern Conference.

Achieved!
