I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the middle of the court at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the starting players on both sides were already on the court.

On the TV, the starting players of the two teams for this game were also shown at this time.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who are playing on the road, will start this game with center Gasol, power forward David West, small forward Odom, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Baron Davis.

The starting lineup of the Bobcats playing at home is center Bynum, power forward Randolph, small forward Granger, shooting guard Chen Xiao, and point guard Paul.

In the pre-game analysis of the Bobcats, the team analyzed that the Bobcats' five starters, including Bynum and Pao, may have some problems against the Lakers.

He may be suppressed, or he may not play well, but Jordan still has no intention of changing the starting lineup.

The finals are different from other series. For every player, the stage of the finals is eager to prove themselves and show themselves. When the players fail to show themselves, they lose the stage to show themselves. This is It's a huge hit for any player.

When Jordan was a player, he rarely considered the feelings of his teammates. He probably never considered the feelings of his teammates.

But after becoming the head coach, Jordan made a 180-degree turn in this regard.

It can only be said that Boss Qiao was quite 'hurt' by his teammates' betrayal of him during his playing days.

Let's put it this way, in history, Joe Boss made an autobiographical movie, and was ridiculed by his former Bulls teammates in turn.

It's simply not too miserable.

Boss Qiao is a smart man. As a coach, he is no longer as strong as he was as a player.

He can't be as arrogant, proud and arrogant as he was as a player.

When he chose to be a coach, Boss Qiao was very humble. When it came to his players, he was completely opposite to when he was a player.

This earned him a lot of heartfelt love from the players in Charlotte.

In this case, Jordan insisted on this lineup even though he knew that starting Bynum and Paul in the Finals might create a lot of problems for the Bobcats.

"They deserve it."

“It’s a reward for their performance this season.”

Jordan, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked at the Bobcat starters on the court and smiled and thought to himself.

At this time, Chen Xiao on the court was chatting with the boss of Ke.

This finals is the first time that Chen Xiao and Ke Boss have met in the finals as the team boss.

Chen Xiao and Ke Lao also met in the 2003 finals, but at that time he was not the boss of the team, and Ke Lao was not the boss of the team.

It is impossible for the two of them to compete according to their thoughts and ideas.

In that duel between the two, it can be said that they played with complete respect for the tactics of both teams.

But even then, in that series, under the Lakers' shooting tactics, Kobe's efficiency was average, but he averaged a new high in points per game in the finals in NBA history.

After Chen Xiao smashed countless experience cards and cheated, that series produced the most terrifying personal performance in the finals in NBA history.

Throughout the series, the God's Eye was flying around, the Wolf King's True Eye, and the Snake King's True Eye, all throwing money at O'Neal and the Lakers as if they were free.

In that series, Chen Xiao, who was crazy about cheating, averaged 39 points, 5 rebounds, 5.75 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 50% and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%. He hit a total of 30 three-pointers in the four finals. , is still a historical record in the NBA Finals.

Therefore, the finals between the Nets and the OK Lakers are often replayed on TV even now. This series has also become Chen Xiao’s most popular series. I don’t know how many of Chen Xiao’s U.S. Fans fell in love with Chen Xiao because of this incredible series.

It can be said that the 2003 Finals was extremely successful in all aspects for the NBA, fans, and expert media.

But obviously, for Chen Xiao and Kobe, this finals must be a huge regret.

In this finals, even if Kobe averaged 40+ points per game and became the player with the highest scoring average in the NBA Finals, he still had huge regrets.

Because this is a series that does not belong to him, he has no way to prove that he is better than Chen Xiao in this series, and he is not qualified to prove it.

For Chen Xiao, it is also a huge regret that he was not able to have a start-to-finish duel with his idol in this series.

Therefore, this finals, which everyone thought was almost perfect, was so imperfect and full of regrets for Chen Xiao and Kobe.

However, fortunately, four years have passed, and Chen Xiao and Kobe once again stood on the stage of the finals.

But this time, Chen Xiao has become a well-deserved superstar, the only S-level player in the NBA, and the well-deserved boss of his team.

This time, Kobe has become the leader of the Lakers. Even though the coach on the sidelines is still super coach Phil Jackson, it is no longer possible for Phil Jackson to control Kobe's mind and body. .

Now, the two can finally have fun in this finals.

It stands to reason that both of them want to be wild in this finals, so their exchanges must be full of excitement.

After all, everyone knows that Chen Xiao and Kobe are both 'big talkers'.

Moreover, the two of them have often been smacking each other before, especially Ke, who often smacks Chen Xiao in games.

But this time, the greetings between Chen Xiao and Kobe were very calm, and they even had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Even the TNT commentators Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines found the situation between the two of them surprised and incredible.

"Kobe and Wonder Boy did not say harsh words as we expected. The two are even discussing how rebellious and difficult their children are now."

When Chen Xiao and Kobe Bryant meet again in the finals, this duel will be like the NBA's decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. Before this decisive battle begins, many people will predict how the two peerless swordsmen will react. Own peerless sword light.

Is it ruthless, arrogant, or domineering and contemptuous?

Many people were guessing before the game, but in the end, it turned out that most of them were wrong.

"They already respect each other enough. They know each other's strength very well. They don't need to make other unnecessary actions. No one of them tries to provoke the other's spirit like the weak, and no one of them thinks that he is the strong one. Go and strike at the hearts of the weak, they only desire one thing now, to show off their edge wantonly in the game!"

Looking at the two calmly smiling people on the court, the famous Lakers magician on the sidelines couldn't help but think of his good friend, the one with him, the one who is the same as Chen Xiao and Kobe Bryant. that person.

I have to say that what the magician thought was really, really right.

Chen Xiao and Kobe really mean this.

After countless encounters and duels between the two in the NBA over the past five years, Chen Xiao and Kobe are all too familiar with each other.

The two of them didn't need to do anything else when they were playing against each other.

Now that the two of them are once again standing on the stage of the finals, this time, they have to give everything they have and do it!

Bald Crawford, the referee on duty, threw the basketball in his hand high.

Bynum and Gasol in the center circle jumped up at the same time.

Regardless of whether Gasol will kill Bynum in the next game, at least this time, Bynum easily defeated Gasol on the jump ball and won the Bobcats the third game of the finals. A wave of possession.

On the court, they may have known that their team's jump ball could not defeat the Bobcats, so after Gasol and Bynum's jump ball ended, the Lakers players immediately completed the defensive formation of retreating, without giving the Bobcats any chance. The team plays a jump ball on any fast break opportunity.

I have to say that although the Lakers' lineup is a traditional lineup of two big and three small, it is very fast in terms of offensive and defensive speed.

Gasol and David West are both traditional insiders, but they are definitely the bantamweights among traditional insiders.

And this is also the reason why the Lakers have been able to fight the Bobcats so hard and can continue to survive in this year's playoffs.

Because of the characteristics of Gasol and David West, the Lakers can play traditional basketball against traditional teams. Similarly, they can also play quick transitions against teams like the Nuggets that are fast on offense and defense. basketball.

Like the Nets, the Lakers are also a team that can play in any style.

So, maybe they have a nemesis team, like the Suns, just like the Bobcats have a nemesis team, the Heat.

However, as long as the Lakers are given a chance, the Lakers can continue to find gaps in their opponents and create miracles.

Back to the game, on the court, Xiaopao, who had lost his fast break opportunity, easily dribbled the ball past halftime under Baron Davis's pressing defense.

And Xiaopao dribbled the ball until behind the three-point line. Xiaopao looked at the provocative Baron Davis, but he didn't look up like he did in the regular season. When he looked at Baron Davis, all he saw was the shadow of Deron. , so we must kill this 'fake' Deron guy.

Xiaopao was very calm this time. When he saw that Chen Xiao had already occupied the corner position on the right, Xiaopao immediately lobbed the basketball in his hand to Chen Xiao's hand.

At this time, the person behind Chen Xiao defending him was none other than his idol, Kobe!

The game started with a duel between Chen Xiao and Kobe. This was so exciting.

So much so that when Chen Xiao held the ball with one hand and faced off against Kobe behind him after leaning on Kobe, the audience, experts, players from the two teams on the sidelines, and the commentators on the sidelines were all shocked. .

Even Jordan and Phil Jackson, the head coaches of their respective teams, were looking at the first showdown between Chen Xiao and Kobe with burning eyes.

For two people and two teams, this matchup between Chen Xiao and Kobe is very, very important.

Phil Jackson played a triangle offense with the Lakers.

Although Jordan has never admitted it, there is no doubt that the Bobcats' offense is also a 'triangle offensive' offensive system.

For the triangle offense, the strength of the team's strongest singles player is an important factor in the team's victory or defeat.

Not to mention whether the core of the triangle offense will definitely lose if it doesn't play well, or whether it will win if it plays well.

At the very least, the strength and intimidation of the core of the triangle offense in singles will greatly increase the morale of their respective teams.

Therefore, after seeing Chen Xiao actively looking for Kobe's singles, without waiting for Kobe and Chen Xiao's orders, the Lakers players and Bobcats players on the field all took the initiative to pull away, creating space for the two to play singles.

After the players from both sides separated, the invisible momentum of Chen Xiao and Kobe seemed to have increased a lot.

Especially Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao can feel that he is very, very excited now.

Kobe, to him, was more than just an idol.

When Chen Xiao first came into contact with basketball, he always regarded Kobe as his direction and the object of his admiration.

This is a man who changed his life.

The system gave him the foundation to become an NBA star, and Kobe guided him in the direction of becoming a star.

Although Chen Xiao seldom talks about Mamba spirit as he matures and grows older, but there is no doubt that even now, Mamba spirit is guiding him forward.

His performance on the court has always adhered to the Mamba spirit.

Although Chen Xiao has compared with Kobe countless times in the NBA over the years.

Chen Xiao doesn’t know how many times he has felt and verified that the Mamba Mentality of his idol is indeed real and not something he imagined or made up.

But obviously, how can Kobe in the finals, especially Kobe in this finals, be the same as Kobe in the past? !

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!

Under everyone's attention, this high-energy duel kicked off with the fierce "squeak" sound of the two people's feet constantly rubbing against the floor.

On the right side of the court, Chen Xiao, who was holding the ball with one hand, gave up holding the ball with one hand under Kobe's constant aggressive harassment. Kobe, who was focused, blocked it.

In such a small space and under great pressure, Chen Xiao was able to continuously make such incredible changes of direction, which made the audience gasp in surprise.

On the other side, facing Chen Xiao's unbelievable dribbling skills and breakthroughs, Kobe actually kept up. Although he was a bit reluctant to follow, he still kept up and continued to block Chen Xiao in front of him. .

However, Kobe was not excited or happy because he blocked Chen Xiao's breakthrough this time, because Chen Xiao, who was blocked by him, made a breakthrough with his back turned on the spot, and after shaking him to the other side, he jumped up and watched Chen Xiao's incredible backward posture, as well as his hovering and bent legs in the air that seemed to taunt the defensive players.

Kobe once again pounced with all his strength. Kobe felt that this time, he had shot out his right hand like a rubber man.

Because he had already predicted that Chen Xiao, who failed to break through, would definitely attack like this.

But even if it was predicted, even if it was almost encountered.

But amid Chen Xiao's incredible staying in the air and maneuvering, Kobe could still only watch the basketball pass by his fingertips.

A swipe!

Now followed by another exclamation.

After the exclamation, the entire Charlotte Bobcats Arena was completely ignited at the beginning of the game!

"Too difficult...

It's too beautiful! "

"This is the Ximen Fuxue of the NBA!"

The Chinese audience of this game was very fortunate to hear another masterpiece of Mr. Zhang's commentary career at this time.
