I’m Really Playing Basketball

Bradley Arena, Bobcats new aid Shane Battier's performance to the audience inside and outside the stadium are unusually pleasantly surprised.

At the beginning, he defended Durant three times and succeeded twice. At the same time, he was able to chase Durant for a three-pointer when he turned around.

This performance, for a role player, can be described as divine.

The last time the two teams faced each other was in the season opener. Durant almost beat up his opponent Granger. Durant in that game could be described as a god coming down from the earth.

In the end, the Bobcats were able to beat the Bucks in that game, all because of Chen Xiao's god-like performance in that game, scoring 60+.

But in this game, when Durant faced Battier, he really didn't have such a brutal feeling of swallowing thousands of miles.

This is not that Durant has become weaker. In fact, Durant has become stronger and stronger after entering the NBA for two months.

In history, Durant called Tiedu in the first two months of his rookie season, and then got better and better after adapting to confrontation.

But now, Durant's strength is stronger than in history, and of course he has adapted better.

Therefore, when entering late December, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Durant is about to take off.

In the last game against the Toronto Raptors, the Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors 123-115 on the road. In this game, Durant faced a number of forwards such as Josh Smith and LaGabell Rashard Lewis. Encircled and suppressed, the audience made 15 of 27 shots, including 6 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. The audience scored 41 points, the highest score of their career so far.

In this game, Durant can be said to be amazing.

Even Nelson, the head coach of the Raptors, said after the game that he didn't know how to defend Durant.

Indeed, Durant, who shoots so accurately three-pointers, really doesn't know how to defend.

Chen Xiao knows Durant. His three-point shooting is actually not that stable. Although he has two three-point masters, Curry and Cole, as teachers, Durant will definitely not be able to shoot at his normal level. 6 out of 7, this is a big explosion.

But what about a big outbreak?

How many people in the entire league can face the Raptors' explosion this season?

Let's just say Durant is the player who has scored the most points on the Raptors this season.

No one has scored more points against the Raptors this season than Durant.

Before the game between the Raptors and Bucks, the Raptors' defensive champion once said: "No one can score more than 40 points in front of us with less than 30 shots."

Why did Lagabel say that?

After playing against the Lakers the day before, Kobe was angry because he choked him and scored 40 points on his head. Well, it took 34 shots, and the efficiency was indeed not that high. So, in order to regain face, Laga Bell pretended Got this.

What he means by this is that scoring 40 points in more than 30 shots is no big deal.

It's just that slapping the face is like a tornado.

After only two days of talking, he was directly slapped in the face by Durant, Kobe's biggest fan.

Of course, this cannot be said to be that Durant is better than S-level Kobe.

It's just that they specialize in skills. The Raptors' front line suppressed Kobe a lot, but it was slightly less effective against Durant.

Coupled with his explosive touch, Durant played the most exciting game of his career against the Raptors.

You can relate it to the current NBA environment. Laga Bell and Kobe were at each other's throats, slapping each other in the face. In the middle, Durant stepped forward to help Kobe beat Laga Bell to pieces. This shows how much focus Durant has on public opinion now. .

It can be said that the current Durant is really popular and hot. Even this year's No. 1 pick Oden has been somewhat pulled down by him.

Under such circumstances, is it not shocking that Battier can perform so well in front of Durant?

On the court, the game continues, the Bucks attack, because Battier just threw a three-pointer over his head, this time the Bucks' offense is still looking for Durant.

Although Durant is the main attacker of the Bucks this season, it is rare for him to hit Durant so many times after the opening game, especially when Durant's offensive effect is not good.

This really means a "cold-handed attack". The average rookie will definitely be afraid of difficulties when encountering this kind of "cold-handed" state where the offense encounters difficulties.

Durant, on the other hand, didn't feel this way at all.

I have to say that he was really not kidding when he said that he was a die-hard Kobe Bryant fan and had learned a little bit about Mamba Mentality.

Durant is a big fan of old-school scorers like Chen Xiao and Kobe McGrady. This kid is really not afraid of blacksmithing on the court.

Even the harder you get, the more you want to fight, the harder you get, the more unconvinced.

It is precisely because of this temperament that Jordan is so optimistic about his disciple.

Because he has fully faced up to Battier's strength, Durant's offense this time was obviously more cautious than before.

After receiving the ball at the free throw line, he shot without dribbling or adjusting. Faced with Durant's decisive attack this time, Battier was also surprised. Few rookies can do it like Durant. .

Therefore, since this game has started, to be honest, Battier is also very shocked.

A swipe!

Durant raided Battier and hit a mid-range shot.

Durant's touch in this game continued the hotness of the previous games.

4 to 5, the Bucks continue to fall behind by one point at home.

"Sean, the defense is good, it's not your problem."

Seeing the shocked expression on Battier's face, Chen Xiao patted him on the back and continued with a smile: "With his height, he can catch and shoot so quickly. The only one who can guard him is God."

Hearing what Chen Xiao said, Battier nodded seriously: "I have never seen such a tall, fast, and agile player. Today's NBA geniuses are really... amazing."

Yes, great, if not great, how can Jordan feel that Durant may surpass him?

If it's not great, how can Chen Xiao feel that Durant and James' threats to him can replace him as the number one player in the league in the future?

At this moment, more and more people have begun to realize the specialness of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Du.

By the way, Xiao Zhan's performance this season is also extremely good.

The Bobcats were attacking. Just now Xiao Du played very well when he played Battier. Looking back, Chen Xiao took the initiative to find Durant.

In the NBA, this is called a response ball. The Bucks hope that Durant will start to drive the momentum of the Bucks, but the Bobcats are definitely unwilling.

Facing Chen Xiao's equally fast attack, the Bucks didn't even have time to help, so they asked Chen Xiao to sit away from Durant, turn around in front of Durant and shoot a fadeaway jumper, against Durant's long arm. Hit the ball.

A swipe!

7 to 4!

"Boy, my move is better than your teacher's."

"..."

After hitting this difficult fadeaway jumper at Durant, Chen Xiao even joked about the kid.

The whole little Du really didn't know how to answer.

In other words, even Xiao Du felt right.

As for the mid-range shot that turned around and leaned back, Chen Xiao's level was indeed considered to be stronger than that of his master Jordan.

Whether it is the height of the shot, the degree of picturesqueness of the shot or the degree of difficulty to defend, it must be high.

Faced with Chen Xiao's 'trash talk', Xiao Du was very excited after he came to his senses. He felt that Chen Xiao, the idol, had already regarded him as an opponent.

Although he is still far away from Chen Xiao, the feeling of being recognized by an idol is quite good.

He is actually not afraid of being educated by idols.

Speaking of this season, he has been educated by Maizi before, and Maizi completed a very wonderful behind-the-back block.

At the same time, he was educated by the boss of Ke, and he was closely guarded by the whole team, making him bang for the whole game. Of course, Carter also led his group of striker brothers Marion and others to give him a hard time.

Among his idols, Chen Xiao has never taken action against him.

Durant still very much hopes that Chen Xiao can face him and recognize that his strength can compete with him.

So, next, Durant, who was full of fighting spirit, took the initiative to find Chen Xiao and wanted to attack Chen Xiao, but...

Bang bang!

Durant, who had just hit Battier, faced Chen Xiao's strike.

This blacksmithing made Xiao Du wave his arms in annoyance.

A bit short.

"After the Bucks opened the game, Durant has been attacking. At the same time, on the defensive end, the Bucks have also been mobilizing his defense. This has made Durant physically exhausted. Facing Chen Xiao's personal defense, Durant Tet's catch-and-shoot short."

Teacher Zhang was really shocked when he saw Durant shooting against Chen Xiao.

By the way, before Durant entered the league, Mr. Zhang had never seen any outside player who could attack Chen Xiao like this.

All I can say is that Durant is really awesome.

Durant is not unknown. Although he is a rookie, he is very famous in China.

Because Durant has been appearing in the Bobcats' training facility in the past few years, NBA Frontline has interviewed Durant countless times.

Everyone in China knows that Durant was a student trained by Jordan and Chen Xiao. Although he was nominally Jordan's disciple, Chen Xiao taught Durant no less than Jordan.

In addition, because of Chen Xiao's relationship, domestic attention to Marquette University is also very high, so Chinese fans know this young man who leads Marquette University to victory in all directions.

With Durant somewhat exhausted, the Bucks' offense finally changed.

However, before the Bucks' offense changed, Chen Xiao once again beat Durant from behind and succeeded. This time it was not a forced pull of Durant. Even if Chen Xiao's current mid-range shot was already 100, then he would be forced to pull Durant. Both are unwise choices.

This time Chen Xiao chose to fake a hard pull and turn around to break through. After passing Durant, he stopped and hit a jump shot.

Although the current Durant is much better defensively than at the same time in his history, he still has many problems, such as his tendency to take fake moves.

In fact, historically, when Durant was at his peak, his defense loved to fake moves.

It's just that many times he can make up for it with his height and agility. At that time, he was known as the defender killer. Deng Ge and other defenders were quite uncomfortable in front of Adu.

This time, although Durant took a fake move, he also made up for it. However, Chen Xiao is not a defender with insufficient height like Deng Ge and others.

Adu failed to block Chen Xiao's shot this time.

A swipe!

9 to 4!

The Bobcats have already led by 5 points at the start.

Also with Durant taking the lead, the result of this game was completely different from the first time the two teams met.

This is not that Durant has become weaker, Durant is stronger than before. Likewise, it is not that the Bobcats have become stronger. The Bobcats are actually weaker. Randolph is stronger than Battier anyway.

Mainly, after replacing Shane Randolph with Shane Battier, the Bobcats are now even more obsessed with the Bucks.

Let's put it this way, as long as they can withstand Durant's opening attack, with the overall strength of the Bobcats, it will be difficult for the Bucks to defeat the Bobcats.

At the end of the first quarter, the away Bobcats led by 9 points, 35-26.

In the first quarter of this game, the Bobcats played very well offensively. Without Randolph, the Bobcats' offensive speed soared, and they did not fall behind in the confrontation with the Bucks' five small teams.

Of course, this is also related to the excellent touch of the Bobcats' starting players in this game.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats shot close to 70%. Chen Xiao made 5 of 5, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 12 points.

Bynum went 4-for-4 and scored 8 points. Bynum, who can run and has height and weight, did a lot of damage to the five small children. Braxon was staggered by Bynum in the first quarter. Various offensive rebounds were robbed by Bynum.

In addition, Aldridge made 2 of 3 three-pointers and scored 4 points, Battier made 1 of 3 three-pointers and scored 3 points, and Cannon shot 2 of 5 and scored 5 points. In addition, there are 4 assists.

By the way, Roy, who came off the bench, also scored 1 of 2 and two points.

Trailing by nine points in the first quarter made things difficult for the Bucks.

So before the second quarter, Terry Porter said, let them give it a try.

In the first quarter, Ray Allen made 4 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 three-pointers. Like Chen Xiao, Ray Allen was not ready to rest.

In fact, the Bucks played very well offensively in the first quarter, with a field goal percentage of over 61. Not to mention Ray Allen's 100% field goal percentage, Adu also shot 3 of 6, Curry shot 2 of 3, and 1 of 1. Iguodala and Braxson who were 1 of 2. Diener and Ariza who came on the bench also took one shot and did not hit.

Overall, the Bucks' offense was also very good, but they took too few shots.

Bynum always grabbed offensive rebounds, which was the source of the 9-point gap between the two teams in the first quarter.

After Randolph left, Bynum became more active and stronger in rushing for rebounds. Who can I ask to explain this?

I don’t know if this is because Paul flew with him or because he doesn’t like Randolph.

It should be Paul who takes him flying, which makes him have a high fighting spirit recently, and he becomes more aggressive in fighting.

Let's hope Bynum isn't a three-minute heat.

In the first quarter of the game, Jordan saw what he wanted to see. When Battier plays against a strong team, it is very useful to start in the starting lineup.

In the second quarter, Jordan needs to examine the rotation combination of Granger and Roy.

The end result is that Granger and Roy rotate the lineup very well.

Not even worse than Roy and Aldridge.

In the second quarter of the game, Granger made 5 of 6 in a single quarter and scored 10 points. After separating Granger and Durant, Granger's performance was indeed much better than when the two teams met for the first time.

Thanks to Granger's outstanding performance, the Bobcats ended the quarter with a 3-point lead 27-24 in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Bobcats already led 62-50 by 12 points on the road.

In the last game, the two teams didn't decide the winner until the fourth quarter.

And it was because of Ray Allen's excessive physical decline that the Bucks lost.

But in this game, the Bucks were still at the peak of their physical fitness, and it wasn't because they didn't play well that they were pulled away by the Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats who were a little slack in the second half were caught up, in the end, this strong contest, the first strong contest of the Bobcats after Randolph left, ended with the Bobcats' victory.

The Bobcats defeated the Bucks 113 to 105 away.

Chen Xiao made 14 of 17 in the game and scored a game-high 34 points. In addition, Battier scored 9 points, Roy Roy 12 points, Bynum 20 points, Paul 14 points and 14 assists. Ranger scored 18 points.

On the other side, Ray Allen scored 11 of 19 with 30 points, Durant scored 7 of 15 with 17 points, and Curry scored 6 of 11 with 15 points.

Overall, this was a game in which both sides performed very well. The Bucks were unable to win the Bobcats due to some restraint in the end.

After leaving Randolph, the Bobcats once again found the feeling of restraining the Bucks. This is something that many Bobcats fans did not expect.

Of course, it's really fun to restrain this kind of thing.

The Bobcats are restrained by teams such as the Raptors and the Heat, but they can restrain a team like the Bucks that can beat the Raptors and the Heat.

In short, in the east now, it is really becoming more and more chaotic.

As a result, after such a game, the Bobcats, who had been considered out of the championship before, were asked about the championship again.

Of course, Chen Xiao’s answer is...

"Only God knows who will win this year."

Yes, really only God knows, it depends on which team is lucky enough to avoid all the evil in this cruel battle of restraint and anti-restraint.

Just like the Bobcats last season.
