I’m Really Playing Basketball

Is this the legendary mid-range shooter who is better than Jordan?

As the new strong supporter of the Lakers, Artest was actually quite shocked after sighing inwardly.

After all, Kobe's defense is really not weak.

Although his hands are a bit shorter, except for his shorter hands, Kobe's defense basically has no weaknesses. It is no joke to be able to hit Kobe twice in a row against Kobe who was so excited at the start.

So, listening to the cheers for Chen Xiao at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, Artest really thinks this guy is worth it.

Speaking of which, Artest and Chen Xiao can be considered old rivals.

Don't look at Artest's withdrawal from the mainstream view of the NBA in the past few seasons.

But when Chen Xiao first came to the NBA, Artest was one of the best players to defend Chen Xiao.

Artest and Marion can be said to be one of Chen Xiao's victims.

Even if Chen Xiao's strength reaches its peak, it's not that easy to beat Marion and Artest.

At least it's not as easy as beating Kobe.

Kobe's defense may not be worse than theirs, but Kobe's defense has limited effect on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao has height, strength, confrontation, shooting skills, and skills. Kobe's hardware conditions cannot be defended.

But the hardware conditions of Marion and Artest are completely different.

Therefore, when Artest looked at Chen Xiao in surprise and admiration, the live broadcast camera was also focused on Artest.

The voice in this shot is very obvious. From past seasons and last season's finals, it has been proved that Kobe's defense suffered a lot against Chen Xiao's offense. The Lakers will need Artest to deal with Chen Xiao in the future.

I have to say, this lens language is quite interesting.

By the way, even though Boss Ke's strength has reached S, he actually had moments of weakness on the offensive end this season.

I have told the story of Boss Ke, Laga Bell and Durant before.

In addition to Laga Bell, who frustrated Co's boss, the person who frustrated Co's boss the most this season was Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan's strength this season is S-, not yet S-level, but Brother Ke suffered a bit when facing Xiao Zhan in the game.

Although the Lakers ultimately defeated the Cavaliers 96-94, during the game, Kobe Bryant, who faced James directly, only made 8 of 22 shots and only scored 21 points.

On the opposite side, Xiao Zhan was not very efficient under the defense of Ko, shooting 12 of 29, 33 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, but his personal performance was indeed better than that of Ko.

In the matchup between Big Brother Ke and Xiao Zhan, Big Brother Ke's defense can very well limit Xiao Zhan's offense.

As for Xiao Zhan's defense, against Boss Ke, it was just like Wang Zhan's.

Anyone who watched last season's finals knows that Ke Boss used his dexterity to blow up Chen Xiaoyou's head, and once again averaged 40+ per game in the finals.

All kidding aside, Chen Xiao can't guard against Boss Ke.

Even if Chief Ke wasn't in such good shape, Chen Xiao wouldn't be able to guard against him.

So the question is, why is Xiao Zhan so good at preventing the boss?

Obviously Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao have similar physical conditions.

The physical conditions of Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao seem to be similar, but there are still big differences.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan have similar explosive power, but Zhan is faster and has better agility. Chen Xiao's agility is only 90, which is actually first-rate, but there is still a long way to go compared to the historical levels of Ke Lao Da and Xiao Zhan. of.

What Mr. Ke can show off in front of Chen Xiao cannot be done so easily in front of Xiao Zhan.

Therefore, historically, Brother Ke was also a little afraid of Xiao Zhan.

Even during the two consecutive championships in history, when Kobe faced the Cavaliers led by James, his personal performance and record were not superior.

In these four games, Ko's shooting percentage was lower than 40% in two games, 41% in another, and 47% in another. This is definitely far lower than Ko's average.

In fact, during the craziest scoring seasons in Ko's history, he often had ultra-inefficient shooting rates when encountering the young James.

Ko and James have played against each other 22 times in history. In 10 games, the shooting rate was less than 40%, and the average shooting rate was only 42.8%. You know, when Ke faced Bowen, he had a career average of 45%. Hit rate.

He also has a career average shooting percentage of 45% against Laga Bell, 46% against Marion, and 47% against Artest.

Xiao Zhan's defense against Boss Ke was more effective than these well-known defensive warriors.

So, is there anyone in the league who can defend better than James?

There is still one, and that is Carter.

Carter and Bryant played 31 games in their career, 17 of which had a shooting percentage below 40%, including four consecutive games with a shooting percentage below 30%.

Good guy, almost half of the toughest game in the history of Kobe Bryant (shooting rate below 30%) was given by Carter.

Carter and Xiao Zhan have something in common, that is, they are taller than Ke Lao, have super athletic ability, strong strength and confrontation, and are not much worse than Ke Lao in agility, plus they have very good defensive skills. …

This indeed makes Boss Ke often have no choice but to attack in front of them.

And this is why many media experts have always believed that James and Carter are players with perfect defensive templates.

,

Others always have weaknesses. Artest, Marion, Bowen, etc. can all be caught if they are not strong enough, but James and Carter are really top-notch in everything.

Not to mention being the boss of Ke, it would be difficult for Chen Xiao to fight these two people.

This season against James, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan hurt each other, and the Bobcats lost in the end. When they played against Carter in the playoffs last season, Chen Xiao exhausted Carter's energy and finally won the game.

Back on the court, after Chen Xiao's two consecutive attacks had stunned Boss Ke and the Lakers, it was the Lakers' turn to attack again.

On the court, Boss Ke finally cooled off from the excitement of being the first player in the league before the game.

Now the boss of Ke has been calmed down by Chen Xiao's two hammers.

Boss Ke now really understands that the first player in the league is really not a simple honor that can be easily obtained.

If he couldn't calmly take it away from Chen Ling's hands, Chen Ling would never give it to him like that.

If he can't beat Chen Xiao to get this honor in this game, then he can only wait for next season.

Boss Ke will definitely not wait that long.

So, he was very excited at this time, but calmness was more important than excitement.

So, on the sidelines of the court, the Bobcats fans at the scene once again saw the scene of Kobe playing with Chen Xiao in the finals.

After Kobe teased Chen Xiao away, he shot the basketball into the net with a precise sideways riding archery back shot.

2 to 4!

It is also picturesque.

However, Kobe's shooting and Chen Xiao's shooting are really not an aesthetic feeling.

Once again it was the Bobcats' turn to attack. Chen Xiao, who was beaten by Kobe Bryant on the defensive end, immediately responded to Kobe's attack on the offensive end.

Chen Xiao opened her arms in front of Kobe, it was really like an eagle spreading its wings.

However, this time Chen Xiao's shot missed.

Although Kobe still couldn't block Chen Xiao, Kobe's defense basically did everything he had to do. Facing such a defense, Chen Xiao would definitely not be able to hit every shot like he did in the training field.

In fact, Chen Xiao's mid-range shooting percentage this season is 58%, which is close to 60%, but it hasn't reached it. What level is this?

Well, maybe three or four percentage points better than the peak Durant.

Peak Du's mid-range shot feels like a very high hit rate in the game, almost hitting every shot without missing a shot.

Chen Xiao will also give the audience such a feeling.

Because Chen Xiao and Durant both have super singles offensive methods, so every score is hard and impressive.

Durant shot 55% from the field, which makes people feel that he has at least 70% of his shots.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, will give people the impression that his hit rate is at least 80%.

In fact, although Chen Xiao and Dingfeng Du's shooting percentages are very strong, they are not as strong as they feel.

However, although Chen Xiao missed this time, the audience sighed as if he had hit the target.

After all, beautiful enough and strong enough.

That kicking, that leaning back, that staying in the air, even if it is iron, it is a beautiful enjoyment.

Not to mention the Bobcats audience, even the courtside TNT commentator Kenny Smith enjoyed it: "The games between Wonder Boy and Kobe always make me intoxicated. In the league, there are very few two superstars like Wonder Boy. Like Kobe, he regards offense as an art, and he is so clear-cut that the eagle can catch the chicken, and the chicken can tease the eagle."

After Kenny Smith finished speaking, Barkley nodded and continued: "So, I have always said that the duel between Wonder Boy and Kobe will become one of the greatest duels in NBA history in the future, and it doesn't even need to be one."

"The duel between Kobe and James is also very interesting to watch, but fans definitely don't like to watch a duel between two super giants who limit each other to death. Fans need fierceness and exciting games. Fierceness and excitement are indispensable, and magic The showdown between the kid and Kobe has everything.”

On the court, Chen Xiao missed Kobe Bryant in a singles just now, but looking back, Kobe Bryant once again hit the mid-range shot.

This time he didn't completely avoid Chen Xiao, but Boss Ke still hit the target.

It can be seen that the state of the boss in this game is indeed good.

In such a crucial battle, Brother Ke maintained his recent excellent form.

Therefore, the score on the court also became 4 to 4, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

It has to be said that this game was extremely watchable from the very beginning, not only for fans, but also for professional life.

"Chen and Kobe's mid-range shot is like the ultimate analysis of this action, as if it is a teaching for us."

In the Heat's locker room, Wade, who had just finished playing the game against the Cavaliers, watched the TV and couldn't help but admire.

He is also a good mid-range shooter.

But he feels that his current shooting is not as good as Chen Xiao and Kobe.

Especially the distance from Chen Xiao's almost perfect shot.

Some people may not believe it, but Chen Xiao's CIC was originally taught by him.

Chen Xiao's initial mid-range shooting skills were his Webster mid-range shooting skills.

Unexpectedly, in just seven years, Chen Xiao's skills have reached such a level that he is recognized as the best in history.

"I have to say that in this increasingly fast basketball era, Kobe and Chen's style of play is simply different."

The Heat's head coach and former Cavaliers head coach Carlisle's eyes are also shining.

Concentrate a lot of your offensive skills on mid-range shots.

This is called classical.

Carlisle may not be familiar with Kobe, but he is quite familiar with Chen Xiao.

After all, he had coached Chen Xiao for two years.

He knows very well that Chen Xiao is a player who can do everything.

When he was with the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao would never be as partial as he is now.

Logically speaking, he would be worried if Chen Xiao was so partial to science. However, watching the duel between Chen Xiao and Kobe in this game, Carlisle was even glad that Chen Xiao was partial to science.

Because Chen Xiao and Kobe actually gave him the most classical offensive skills like mid-range shooting, which is the future of basketball now.

In fact, Carlisle is not the only one who feels this way.

Many people feel this way at this time.

why?

No reason, it’s simply that Chen Xiao and Kobe’s mid-range shots are too accurate!

Historically, Pinnacle's mid-range shooting percentage was 52%. There is no doubt that the current Kobe is definitely better than Pinnacle.

In fact, Kobe's mid-range shooting rate this season is indeed 54%. This shooting rate is very close to Du's mid-range shooting rate at his peak, almost exactly the same.

And Kobe is also the kind of big singles hero.

Adu can give people the feeling of being always on target, and the current Ke Lao will naturally give people the same feeling.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao and Kobe competed against each other in the first quarter, they really felt like they could play whatever they wanted, and they would naturally rise to the top of the field as a midfielder.

If James Wheat is allowed to compete in a mid-range shooting matchup at this time, Carlisle will definitely not feel this way. It will even make Carlisle feel that Billups' magic ball is better, either a three-pointer or a basket.

Well, Billups's magic ball style in the Pistons was pioneered by Carlisle.

Although Carlisle can do everything, he is still optimistic that the future will be one of three-pointers and basket offense, and the mid-range shot will gradually become marginalized.

But now...

"These two basketball artists really gave me completely different ideas. Maybe my judgment of the future is not so correct."

At this time, Chen Xiao certainly had no idea that the duel between himself and Kobe would have such a great impact and value judgment on many professionals in the NBA.

Chen Xiao, who was very hungry in this game, played very well.

The Lakers and Bobcats fought 31 to 36 in the first quarter. With Chen Xiao's buzzer-beating mid-range shot in the first quarter, the Bobcats took a 5-point lead at home.

Among them, Kobe shot 7 of 11 in the first quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points in a single quarter.

Chen Xiao made 8 of 11, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 19 points in a single quarter.

Regardless of whether it is Chen Xiao or Kobe, anyone who looks at their data can be described as perfect.

"In fact, their performance was even better than their numbers!"

Watching the scene of Jordan that suddenly appeared on TV after the scene of Chen Xiao and Kobe, Xiao Zhan yearned for it.

He knew why the on-site director gave such a shot.

Because now the whole world can't wait to see Jordan, Kobe and Chen Xiao, the three people who have perfected the art of basketball, appearing on the court at the same time!

"Basketball artist!"

I also want to be a court artist like Xiao Chen, Kobe and Jordan!

ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
