I’m Really Playing Basketball

It has to be said that the Bobcats have a lot of traffic this season.

The ten-game winning streak at the start brought the Bobcats to the top, and the three-game losing streak made the Bobcats the object of media carnival by those pundits.

On November 28, 2006, the Bobcats challenged the Detroit Pistons away from home for the fourth game of six consecutive games in the Eastern Conference.

Although Barkley said that he is optimistic about the Bobcats even if they lose ten consecutive games, this is a joke.

But maybe someone really is expecting the Bobcats to lose ten games in a row right now.

At the very least, after losing three consecutive games before, this game against the Pistons was honestly not that easy to play.

Although the strength and record of the Pistons led by McGrady and Billups this season are incomparable with the Magic, Nets and Heat.

But as the current scoring leader this season, McGrady has played quite aggressively this season.

This obviously turned the grief and indignation of leaving the Magic into strength.

Therefore, so far this season, McGrady is the only two players in the NBA who averaged more than 30 points per game.

In the current NBA scoring list, McGrady's scoring average is 31 points, while Ray Allen's is 30.5 points.

In addition, no one else averaged more than 30 points per game.

Anthony currently ranks third in points per game at 29.8.

Chen Xiao is fourth at 29.

Then there is James' 28, Arenas and Kobe Iverson's 27.

This season's scoring list looks very "insufficient" compared to the previous crazy seasons.

This is mainly because of the strong men on the scoring list. Most of the goals this season are no longer scoring.

Chen Xiao's biggest purpose in this regular season is to develop the abilities of his teammates. How many points he scores is actually not very important to him.

Taking crazy shots is not his first choice.

And after the team's strength improved, there were fewer games that required him to make crazy moves in order to win.

Therefore, this season Chen Xiao's number of shots has dropped significantly, but his shooting percentage has reached a new high.

Like Chen Xiao, many other players such as Kobe, Iverson, Carter, Anthony, Arenas and others no longer regard scoring as their first goal for various reasons.

Moreover, if Ray Allen and McGrady could be given a choice, they would definitely not want to compete for the scoring title like this.

It's not important to be the scoring champion. Rather than being the scoring champion, they are definitely willing to continue to compete for the championship with a team competing for the championship.

Therefore, in this game between the Pistons and Bobcats, Tracy McGrady was envious of Chen Xiao.

Especially this season, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats are constantly making headlines, which makes Maizi feel envious and jealous.

Maizi is a nice person, but he is really not big-minded. Not to mention Chen Xiao, his best friend Kobe Bryant often openly complains about Corvo saying that Corvo is small-minded. In fact, compared to Maizi, Corvo is much more narrow-minded. Every time Maizi publicly dissed Corvo, Corvo always smiled slightly.

At the same time, after being dissed by Maizi, Corvo responded with constant compliments to Maizi.

It can be seen that Corvo really cherishes Maizi as his best friend.

At the same time, Corvo also understands the willful and small-minded character of his close friend Maizi.

So I have always been accustomed to Maizi.

However, in the entire NBA, except for Corvo, there are not many people who have always been accustomed to wheat.

Last season, Maizi was playing a trick on Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao didn't let him get used to it and brought his little brother Granger to give Maizi an unforgettable undercover night.

After that night, Maizi felt that his condition was getting worse and worse.

Before that undercover night, he told the media that he was now ready to be the No. 1 player in the NBA next season (that is, this season).

But what about now?

Going to Detroit, a place that doesn't shit, let alone the number one player in the league, it's hard to make headlines!

If it weren't for the scoring champion to maintain his "living" and "hotness", I am afraid that American fans would have forgotten him as TMC, right?

Although the United States is big, there are really not many spotlights dedicated to him!

However, speaking from conscience, although Maizi is particularly envious of Chen Xiao, he doesn't have the slight 'dissatisfaction' and 'little hatred' towards Chen Xiao that he had towards Corvo

Maizi said more than once that if he was given an O'Neill, he could also XXX.

But to Chen Ling, Maizi really couldn't say such a thing.

Even in the Bobcats, this is the team brought out by Chen Xiao himself.

Everyone knew that Chen Xiao would never form a super giant group.

Even if there was an opportunity to form a super giant, Chen Xiao finally chose to bring her talent to the NBA's desert Charlotte.

And through his own efforts, Charlotte slowly transformed from the desert of the NBA to the oasis of the forest.

So, this really made Maizi panic.

Envious and jealous of Kobe, he is too cautious about Kobe, and he can still say it.

But for Chen Xiao, he really could only hold it in.

In the end, all the anger and unwillingness were vented on the court.

"Chen, TMC played very aggressively in this match, and the moves were a bit big, you have to be careful."

At the end of the first half, Boss Qiao reminded Chen Xiao again.

This is not the first reminder from Boss Joe in this game.

Maizi was very excited about this game.

When I attack, I move too much, and when I defend, I also can't control my movements.

This is actually very dangerous.

"I know, I'll pay attention."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded to Jordan.

It wasn't that he was afraid of getting hurt.

With bodies as hard as his and Xiao Zhan's, it would be very difficult to get injured, unless Maizi deliberately wanted to trick him and he accidentally got injured, but Maizi was obviously not such a person.

Chen Xiao is mainly worried about Maizi.

In this game, with such an offensive rush, all kinds of strong attacks, and defense, running all over the court and even rolling all over the floor, it is very easy to get injured.

So after the halftime break, Chen Xiao deliberately reminded Maizi who was walking side by side when he came on the court: "TMC, your body is what you need to prove yourself."

"..."

Maizi, who fought against Chen Xiao for half of the first half, really didn't expect that Chen Xiao would say such things to him.

At this time, shouldn't Chen Xiao use his venomous tongue that puts Larry Bird to shame to mock him, who was already so far behind in the first and second half?

But Chen Ling was actually concerned about his body at this moment.

McGrady played very hard this season, and many games were fought with his body.

This is of course a bit self-defeating.

However, how could someone not give up on himself in a situation like his?

What's more, he is still a rather cautious person.

Seriously, for the Magic, he really gave everything.

In the playoffs last season, the five strikers of G1 and the Nets fought for 48 minutes almost every game.

In the end, I hurt myself in G2.

For him, a player who has given everything for the team, why does the Magic's management trade him?

And he was sent to a garbage place like the Pistons.

You know, as a super giant, one of the most popular super giants in the league, in 2005, when he was at his peak, he did not hesitate to choose to renew his contract with the Magic in advance, even testing the waters of freedom. The market has no plans.

His seven-year, $93 million contract with the Magic expired in 2007. He could have waited until 2007 to negotiate a contract extension with the Magic. By then, his salary would have been higher and his tenure would have been longer.

But in 2005, with two years left before his contract expired, he completed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with the Magic.

The 2007 contract was extended to 2010.

When he renewed his contract in advance, he never thought about leaving the Magic. I gave you the bright moon, but you threw the bright moon into the ditch.

To be honest, this time, Maizi really felt that he was really hurt.

He felt that his sincerity was really being fed to the dog.

Just like people who are emotionally hurt always use hurting themselves to retaliate against others in the first stage, this is what Maizi is doing now.

It would make him sad if he felt that he was repaying the person who hurt him by hurting himself.

But how is this possible?

Even love is gone, how could he feel sorry for you?

Maizi is a bit petty, but he is not an idiot.

It's just that, except for Chen Xiao, no one dares to remind Maizi who doesn't like anyone now.

In the NBA, no matter how good the relationship is, you will not criticize other people's playing styles. This is polite and a rule.

Chen Xiao's reminder to Maizi this time was actually meddling in others' own business.

However, Chen Xiao really didn't want any tragedy to happen to Maizi.

In the story of Maizi and Magic, Maizi has nothing wrong at all. It is Magic that is sorry for Maizi. In the end, if justice is harmed, this is definitely something Chen Xiao does not want to see.

It is too difficult for such a loyal player to have his heart broken and his body hurt as well.

According to Chen Xiao's system with a strong sense of justice, he absolutely does not want such a tragedy to happen.

After defeating the Pistons 104-95 on the road, the Bobcats ushered in their first win after three consecutive losses.

The Bobcats' offensive status in this game was still average, but they won the game with their strong defense.

This is also the difference between the Bobcats this season and last season.

This season, the Bobcats' defense is very good.

Without Lou Williams and Monta Alice, two important rotation players, the Bobcats are not only more stable offensively, but also more stable defensively.

However, for Chen Xiao, the biggest gain from this game is not a victory, but a reward from the system.

"Ding, the host has used his own actions to save a huge (A+) loss for the sport of basketball. The host will be rewarded with +5 long-distance three-point attributes for a layup."

"..."

When Chen Xiao saw this, he was quite shocked.

According to the system's reward, in other words, it is really possible that Maizi will suffer a devastating injury this season.

Otherwise, it would not be a huge damage to basketball.

In fact, after Chen Xiao came out of the rookie protection period last season, Chen Xiao felt the difference in the system.

Chen Xiao, who has just come out of the novice protection period, the system will also issue tasks for him, some righteous tasks.

But now, the system doesn't even release tasks at all, it all depends on Chen Xiao's consciousness.

Perhaps in the eyes of the system, Chen Xiao should not need to fight and retreat like a child, but should actively work hard to protect the sport of basketball.

I have to say that Chen Xiao was actually quite happy when the system did this.

After all, the system issues tasks and Chen Xiao does the tasks, which always makes Chen Xiao feel that he is a tool person. He contributes to basketball entirely because of the urging of the system, not because of his own consciousness.

This made Chen Xiao a little hurt.

Chen Xiao always felt that his destiny was changed because of basketball, and he was willing to take the initiative to work hard for the sport of basketball.

He doesn't need to be urged by others, and he is willing to do what he can do.

He needs better freedom.

And now, such a degree of freedom was finally given to him.

In fact, this is not the first time Chen Xiao has received such a reward without any tasks.

After playing the Celtics game, the system gave him a similar reward.

"Through its own efforts, the host has changed the career of a player with excellent qualities for basketball, and has protected a spiritual role model for the sport of basketball. The host will be rewarded with +5 free throw attributes."

At that time, Chen Xiao knew that the person he changed was Morrison.

Because Morrison showed great power when facing him, the Celtics paid more attention to him, thus ensuring that Morrison's career would not end due to injury. Because of Morrison's success, It will also encourage those physically handicapped players to play basketball, which will indeed greatly promote the promotion of basketball.

Regarding the new situation of the system, although Chen Xiao doesn't know what the system's reward mechanism is like, to be honest, he prefers to do things according to his own behavior and heart rather than tasks.

It doesn't make him feel like he's being pushed to do good.

After the game against the Pistons, Chen Xiao left Detroit with the Bobcats overnight.

But on the plane, Chen Xiao and Roy, who was sitting next to him, were watching the game between the Celtics and the Heat on the same day.

Facing the Heat and Wade, Morrison made 9 of 20 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 11 free throws. He scored 27 points in the game (not fabricated, historical data).

In the fourth quarter, Morrison scored 10 points in a single quarter.

Roy was really convinced after seeing Morrison perform such a performance in the face of Wade, who was weakening him.

In fact, two days ago, facing the Nets, Carter and Richard Jefferson, Morrison had just scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists on 9 of 21, leading the Celtics to defeat Nets (no fiction, historical data).

That's right, the Nets capsized again on a weak team.

Although the Nets play against weak teams this season to relieve stress, adjust their mood, and play randomly, do you think the Nets will win so easily if they play randomly?

In the past week, after playing the game against the Bobcats, Morrison was simply swiping the screen.

"Brandon, your Rookie of the Month award is gone this month."

"Um."

Roy smiled and nodded.

He was convinced.

As far as this month's performance is concerned, Morrison's performance is quite explosive, not in terms of statistics, but in terms of stability when facing strong opponents. There are few rookies in history who can compete with him.

NCAA scoring champion MVP, summer league scoring champion, Bird Jr. is well-deserved.

When he's strong, it's no joke.
