I’m Really Playing Basketball

There were 44 three-pointers in 4 games, and every three-pointer can cause crazy screams from the girls in the Korean female star support group and the Japanese female high school girls on the sidelines.

(PS: The data in the previous chapter is wrong. It should be 44 in 4 games, not 52 in 5 games.)

He averages 11 three-pointers per game. To be honest, this data is indeed quite terrifying at first glance.

However, Chen Xiao didn't really hit 11 three-pointers in every game.

In fact, in these four games, Chen Xiao only made 10 three-pointers in one game.

There were 9 in two games and 8 in 1 game in the other 3 games.

Facing Senegal, Chen Xiao hit 18 three-pointers in the whole game. In this game, Chen Xiao really shot through the black uncles and defeated them at the same time. He scored 70 points in the whole game. After the game, Chen Xiao was chased crazily and took photos with the black uncles. There was no trace of any dissatisfaction or displeasure on the faces of the black uncles.

To be honest, whether it is the Olympic Games or the World Championships, the black uncles are basically a group with a star-chasing atmosphere.

In terms of strength, he is really talented. When competing against Uncle Hei, Chen Xiao felt like he was competing against Novak in a three-point shooting competition.

Even the pressure is not as great as the three-point shooting contest with Novak.

In any case, even against those strong European and American teams, Chen Xiao's three-point shooting percentage is still very scary, like 8 of 20 or 9 of 20 in every game.

Although the hit rate may not seem high, the output is high!

And the output is really high!

However, if you understand Chen Xiao's performance in the NBA this season, you will know that it is not surprising that Chen Xiao shot such a number of three-pointers in this World Championship.

FIBA's three-point line is basically equivalent to the NBA's mid-range and long-range two-pointers.

In the NBA last season, Chen Xiao averaged more than 8 hits per game from beyond the FIBA ​​three-point line.

Three-pointers plus mid-range and long-range two-pointers in that area, Chen Xiao can hit 8.5 times per game.

Therefore, Chen Xiao actually did not deliberately shoot crazy three-pointers in the World Championships.

However, FIBA's three-point line is a bit shorter, and Chen Xiao has reduced the proportion of inside attacks, so it seems like Chen Xiao is just attacking from the outside like crazy.

By the way, why does Chen Xiao want to reduce the proportion of inside offense?

Of course, the inside space is given to Dayao and Ah Lian.

What's going on with everyone squeezing into the inside lane?

For the Chinese team, Chen Xiao is responsible for the outside and Yao Ming is responsible for the inside. This is the most perfect space configuration.

This will prevent the opponent's defense from focusing on the inside or outside.

Also, the fact that Chen Xiao looks so scary in FIBA ​​is mainly related to the fact that the FIBA ​​three-pointer is too short.

Let's just say Chen Xiao currently averages 11 three-pointers per game. According to the FIBA ​​three-point line, Chen Xiao's 11 three-pointers can average 33 points per game.

He averaged 33 points on 21 shots per game, and his shooting efficiency reached an astonishing 79%.

But under NBA rules, 4 of Chen Xiao's 11 hits were from the NBA three-point line, and the remaining 7 were from the NBA two-point line. In other words, according to NBA rules, it was 26 points.

He averaged 26 points in 21 shots per game, and his shooting efficiency dropped directly to 62%.

The shooting efficiency of 62% is still quite high. Counting free throws, the true shooting rate must be above 65%.

But if you exclude the food abuse war in Senegal.

Counting only four European and American teams, they averaged 20 shots per game and averaged 8.7 hits per game.

Calculating FIBA ​​rules, he averaged 20 shots per game, averaged 26 points per game, and his shooting efficiency was as high as 65%.

But according to NBA rules, 8.7 field goals include 3.2 NBA three-pointers and 5.5 NBA two-pointers, which is 20.6 points. The shooting efficiency instantly becomes 52%, which is very human.

Therefore, the same shot, the same shooting percentage, because the rules of the NBA and FIBA ​​are different, Chen Xiao's shooting efficiency can differ by more than 13%.

There is a 13% difference in shooting efficiency. What does this mean?

For comparison, Kobe's shooting efficiency in the NBA this season is 50%, and Westbrook's shooting efficiency in his rookie season is 41%.

Ko's shooting efficiency this season is the peak of his career, and Westbrook's shooting efficiency in his rookie season is the lowest of his career.

The difference between the worst Westbrook and the strongest division boss is only 9% in shooting efficiency.

The difference in shooting efficiency between NBA's Chen Xiao and FIBA's Chen Xiao is at least 13%. What level of improvement is this?

It is not enough to say that Westbrook changed to Kobe, it should be said that Westbrook changed to Jordan!

Jordan's career peak shooting efficiency is close to 55%, which is just about 13 away from the worst Westbrook.

Imagine the gap between the worst Westbrook and the strongest Jordan.

Just imagine, Curry's unanimous MVP season was the brightest in his career, and his shooting efficiency was 63%, the highest in NBA history.

This is 11% worse than Chen Xiao's 74%. The distance between the peak Curry and Chen Xiao this time is still greater than the gap between the worst Westbrook and the strongest Kobe.

And this is why Chen Xiao is invincible in FIBA.

If you want to be invincible in FIBA, you must not only be strong in three-pointers, but also be very strong in mid-range and mid-range two-pointers.

Chen Xiao's shooting in these three areas is very strong, so the gap between Chen Xiao's playing in the NBA and playing in the FIBA ​​is very large.

The worst Westbrook and the best Jordan, how many levels do you think there is in between? That is the level Chen Xiao has improved.

Assuming that the difference between the worst Westbrook and the best Jordan is five levels, Chen Xiao's offensive ability has improved by five levels under FIBA ​​rules.

The key is that Chen Xiao's offense in the NBA is already at the level of Jordan's ball king. If he improves it by five levels, the earth will no longer be able to accommodate Chen Xiao.

Therefore, the American media exclaimed that Chen Xiao is like an alien under FIBA ​​rules. It is really not a joke.

Let's put it this way, under the rules of FIBA, Chen Xiao is the strongest attacker in history. Peak Jordan and peak Curry are not easy to use (peak Jordan lacks three points, and peak Curry lacks two long-range points). )

Perhaps only Adu can compete with Chen Xiao.

If Adu doesn't come out, who can compete with him?

And this is why Chen Xiao and Adu in history are invincible in FIBA.

The rules of FIBA ​​are very suitable for players like Chen Xiao and Adu who have no blind spots in the offensive area, are efficient, and are good at pull-ups.

All said, if Chen Xiao has the physical strength to take 80 shots in a game against the US team, and if the US team does not double-team Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao and his four CBA teammates can easily beat the US team.

Of course, Chen Xiao does not have the physical strength to make 80 pull-ups in a game against the US team. If Chen Xiao were not surrounded by Yao Ming and there were really 4 CBA players, the US team or other teams would not have failed to double-team Chen Xiao.

So, Chen Xiao is invincible in this World Championships, but there are also big reasons for his strength with Dayao.

Historically, in this World Championships, Dayao was the leading scorer, averaging 25.3 points per game.

Since this year, Dayao's career has reached its peak.

With Yao Ming, Chen Xiao can rest assured that he is invincible on the outside, and with Chen Xiao, Yao Ming can also rest assured that he is invincible inside.

On August 27, 2006, in Sapporo, Japan, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese team led by Chen Xiao and the American team led by Xiao Zhan finally met.

The group match between the Chinese team and the US team is considered to be the final staged in advance.

Not to mention whether the American team is no longer able to stand out in terms of strength, but in terms of popularity, the American team is still ranked second behind the Chinese team.

Therefore, this game is definitely a game that makes the whole of Sapporo empty.

And in this game, both China and the United States have indeed dedicated a very exciting game for everyone.

In an offensive battle, the Chinese team finally defeated the US team 129-121.

It can be seen from this game that neither team defended much.

The U.S. team lost in this game because of the three points that many people were talking about before the game.

In this game, Chen Xiao still maintained his previous three-pointer status. In the whole game, he took 22 three-pointers and hit 13 of them.

In this game, only relying on three-pointers, Chen Xiao scored 39 points.

This also allowed the Chinese team to maintain the lead in the game.

However, in the third quarter of the second half, the American team, which was lagging far behind, put aside the victory and let go, relied on its stronger overall strength and physical strength to beat the Chinese team 9-0.

However, this can only be regarded as a false alarm for the Chinese team. In the first half, the Chinese team led too much.

Since then, the Chinese team has strengthened their defense and shrunk even further, but the US team is in trouble again.

Among them, the captain of the US team, James, fouled out five times shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. James played really hard in this game.

After playing a little more than three quarters, he still scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists when he was sent off.

In addition to James, Anthony is definitely the biggest highlight of the US team. He hit 5 three-pointers and scored 27 points.

Xiao Pao had 13 points and 7 assists.

As for the Chinese team, Chen Xiao scored a game-high 56 points for the Chinese team, while Dayao and Arab League scored 21 and 16 points respectively.

Xiaozhu scored 13 points and Wang Zhizhi scored 11 points.

Others' scores are not very high.

In this game, the Chinese team, which was burdened with the task of training, did not give up training just because the opponent was the American team.

It should be said that the first opponent of the Chinese team in 2008 was the American team, so this game should be more training.

Therefore, UAE and Hua Tsai are still starting together in this game. It has to be said that although Hua Tsai dares to fight and fight, there is still a gap in strength compared with UAE, and it is still difficult to achieve anything in front of the American team.

In fact, when playing against the US team, the Chinese team still depends on Chen Xiao and Dayao.

As soon as Chen Xiao opened the game, he received Dayao's pass at the top of the arc and faced Xiao Zhan's defense and easily hit a three-pointer.

Next, Xiao Zhan immediately returned the favor. He forced his way into the basket. Faced with the help of the UAE defense and the contraction of the Chinese players, although he almost lost the ball, he still carried Dayao and turned around under the basket to hit.

Xiao Zhan's offense was really beautiful, but the spectators next to him found it difficult to see it.

There is no way to do this. This time the US team does not have Ray Allen, the small cannon who is reused by Coach K, Xiao Zhan, Britney, Boozer and others. Except for Britney, everyone else is not very stable in the mid-to-long range. , Boozer is mainly stable in mid-range and short-range shots.

Therefore, after the game started, the US team's offense has been very constipated. The Chinese team played very well because Chen Xiao and Yao Ming were separated from each other in the inside and outside space. In addition, they had good touch and the Chinese team played very well offensively.

So with 6 and a half minutes left in the first quarter, the Chinese team expanded its advantage to 10 points, leading 16-6.

In less than 4 minutes of play, the Chinese team scored 16 offensive points. This efficiency is simply incredible, and the feel is simply overwhelming.

The American team used their traditional man-to-man tactics in this game. To be honest, this is not a good way to deal with the Chinese team.

One-on-one defense is not very good whether it is against Chen Xiao or Yao Ming.

Basically, it is equivalent to letting Chen Xiao and Yao Ming attack hard.

However, every player on the Dream Team is an NBA star, so having them double-team their opponents in international competitions always feels like a loss of face.

Maybe Coach K himself can't get rid of this face. Let's not talk about whether double-teaming Chen Xiao and Yao Ming is effective. Even if it is effective, it will be embarrassing to win if this is reported back to the United States.

Under the contraction of the Chinese team, the U.S. team had problems with long-range shots and had too many breakthrough players. This led to a lot of mistakes by the U.S. team in the first quarter and a low hit rate. Facing Chen Xiao and Chen Jianghua's It was difficult to break fast and retreat in time, and the American team was constantly being counterattacked by the Chinese team. After the first quarter, we were 12 points behind 20-32.

In the first quarter of the game, I still have to praise Xiao Chen. Although he didn't score many points and was not very efficient, he could really push the speed. Working with Chen Xiao to counterattack was amazing. This is much better than Brother Wei.

Brother Wei still couldn't let go when attacking, he wasn't that sharp.

Compared with other players in the United States, Tiantian played decisively in this match against the Chinese team. After all, she was able to shoot without panic.

As Xiao Zhan's substitute, Xiao Tiantian hit two three-pointers soon after the start of the second quarter. Under the leadership of Xiao Tiantian, the American team narrowed the gap several times.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Xiao Pao also hit a three-pointer. The US team was only 6 points behind 38-44.

However, when Britney's shooting style is accurate, she can score points quickly, and when she is strong, she is also quite vicious. After all, Britney is also a stronger player in the international arena.

But why is the bonus not as big as that of Chen Xiao or Adu?

The main reason is that his efficiency is not stable enough.

Xiao Tiantian's crazy shots can chase points, but when Chen Xiao comes up and competes with Chen Xiao for shooting, isn't this playing into the Chinese team's hands?

In terms of shooting efficiency, can Xiao Tiantian beat Chen Xiao?

Therefore, the original 6-point difference quickly widened again.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led 64-50 by 14 points at halftime.

Then came what was mentioned earlier. Under the leadership of Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Zhan, the American team beat the Chinese team 9-0 at the beginning of the third quarter, chasing the score to 59-64, only falling behind by 5 points.

But after Chen Xiao missed all his first two shots in the third quarter, Chen Xiao's 50-50 game attributes came into play, and he hit all the next two three-pointers.

It can be said that under the one-on-one defense of the US team, Chen Xiao will never have a scoring shortage. He may not be accurate sometimes, but he will be accurate again soon. It is simply a bug.

In the NBA, Chen Xiao is known for playing 55-5 games, and this is even more true in FIBA. Although the U.S. team worked hard and was not pulled away again, after the third quarter, the U.S. team still led 85-85. 96 fell behind by 11 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the two teams have maintained such a balance. The American team cannot guard against Chen Xiao, and the Chinese team cannot guard against the American team after Xiao Zhan comes off the court.

In the end, the two teams gave a very exciting battle to the audience on site and in front of the TV.

After this game, Chen Xiao, who had been extremely popular recently, really got even more angry.

To be honest, scoring 70 points against a team like Senegal is a completely different concept than scoring 56 points against a team like the United States.

Although Chen Xiao dominated the NBA last season.

However, there are really people in the NBA who can kill everyone like Chen Xiao, such as Chamberlain, Kobe, and Jordan.

But in FIBA, who has seen Chen Xiao like this!

In the five group matches, all scores were 40+, five consecutive games with 40+, this is incredible, isn’t it?

So much so that at the end of the game, Xiao Zhan was speechless when he walked up to Chen Xiao.

"Xiao Chen, I am convinced that even five Jordans in our team are not enough for you in the international arena."

"No, it's not enough to beat Dayao and I."

Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Give him a big Yao, not to mention he can't beat him, but against five Jordans, he is really not a coward!
