I’m Really Playing Basketball

On May 23, 2010, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bobcats and Heat continued as scheduled at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

Because after the previous three games, the Bobcats have already led 3-0, so the suspense of this series has completely ended. For the defending champion Heat, the only thought and pursuit in this series is whether they can win He won a game to save the face of his defending champion and dynasty team.

Well, this is the opinion of the media experts and celebrities outside. These people obviously judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Wade and Yao Ming's pursuit is much greater than they imagined.

For players of the caliber of Yao Ming and Wade, face in a season is not something they need to consider.

After all, they won 74 games and failed to win the championship. What could be more embarrassing than that season?

But after achieving three championships in four years, who cares about the loss of face after 74 wins and no championship?

Even that is not face, it is training, just like Jordan, the training of constantly failing and eventually becoming a dynasty. This will not only not make them lose face, but it will be their medal.

Therefore, before the game started, Wade and Yao Ming called Chen Xiao almost at the same time, hoping that the Bobcats could play more fiercely in this game and Chen Xiao could play more fiercely without giving them face.

Wade and Yao Ming are not stupid people. Can they not see the Heat's current situation?

Because Bosh's confidence collapsed, the atmosphere within the Heat team was very low. Coupled with falling behind 0-3, the team's morale could be said to have hit rock bottom.

The Heat are at their most vulnerable now. At this time, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats should not hold back and work hard for the Heat. This means that Yao Ming and Wade have not thought about saving face at all.

It can be said that Wade and Yao Ming, like Chen Xiao, have reached another level in mentality, and their pursuits have also reached another level.

Therefore, on the court, among the two teams warming up, Chen Xiao looked at the looks Wade and Yao Ming gave him from time to time, and Chen Xiao couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Since you wish this, then I will be the fire that refines the true gold for you."

The warm-up of the two teams ended and the game officially started. The starting players of the two teams had already appeared on the court.

In front of the Bobcats' bench on the sidelines, many bench players and the team's three head coaches were looking at Chen Xiao on the court with great confusion.

Before the game started, Chen Xiao asked them to fight the Heat to death. This request was indeed quite confusing.

As far as the Heat showed in the last game, the Bobcats can usually defeat the Heat. Wade and Yao Ming are very strong, but now that they have O'Neal, it is impossible for them to be defeated by Wade and Yao Ming. .

In this case, Chen Xiao, as a good brother of Wade and Yao Ming, should give them some face. They even felt that it was the most reasonable to deliberately lose this game and return to the Bobcats to advance again. .

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao didn't let them give Wade and Yao Ming a chance, but instead let them beat the Heat to death.

However, although doubts remain doubts, since this is Chen Xiao's request, of course they have to implement it. This is Chen Xiao's prestige in this team now.

So much so that when he jumped the ball at the beginning of the game, O'Neal jumped the height of a potato higher than usual. Instead of jumping on his toes, his heels also left the ground.

Of course, the final result was still the same, Yao Ming still won the jump, but O'Neal's attitude in carrying out Chen Xiao's request to fight to death in this game was noticeable.

In the Heat's first attack, Wade set up a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming from outside the three-point line. After Yao Ming blocked Rose, Wade faced Chen Xiao who was pulled out and made a super explosive lightning breakthrough, swaying Chen Xiao away. Killed towards the basket.

Wade's lightning breakthrough is very strong, especially Wade, who has never suffered a knee injury like in history. His lightning breakthrough is known as the first breakthrough weapon in NBA history.

Even if Chen Xiao's defense is excellent, with Chen Xiao's size and personality, it is not easy to block Wade's lightning breakthrough in the pick-and-roll.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Xiao was broken through by Wade so easily. What is really surprising is that Wade actually used his ultimate move so early in this game.

Even Wade, who is now in good health, would not dare to use such a lightning breakthrough all the time in a game, or even many times. Wade's lightning breakthrough is a nuclear weapon and is generally used as a deterrent.

The effect of deterrence is greater than the effect of use.

When Wade uses lightning breakthroughs to intimidate you, you don't know whether he will break through or shoot. It is best not to use lightning breakthroughs all the time. This will make defenders more wary. If you don't use it once, it means you can use it many times in the game. .

And this time, the nuclear bomb was dropped, which was great, but the deterrence afterward was reduced.

Therefore, when he saw Wade being lifted out of the air by Granger, who was trying to protect O'Neal, and walked to the free throw line, Xiao Yang next to him couldn't help but sigh: "Wade is swearing this game to his teammates. With your attitude, you don’t have to think so much about this game, and you don’t have to think so far ahead. Use all your strength to attack the Bobcats!”

It has to be said that Xiao Yang, as a commentator and reporter with strong attainments in psychology, his guess this time is really correct.

It was precisely because the guess was reasonable that Teacher Zhang and Xiao Su next to him looked at him with some suspicion.

With two free throws, Wade took the lead in scoring the first two points of the game for the Heat.

The game continued, and it was the Bobcats' turn to attack. Compared with Wade's thunderous offense in the opening game, the Bobcats seemed not so fast, but it made Heat coach Carlisle frown on the sidelines, and also made people in front of the TV Garnett, Kobe and other Timberwolves and Lakers players watched with wide eyes.

Because, in this series, facing the defending champion, facing the dynasty team, facing the strongest team in the NBA in the past four years, the Heat, the Bobcats have almost never played like this in the game.

Chen Xiao withdrew from the basket and actively asked for the ball between the free throw line and the top three-point line.

In this series, Chen Xiao will basically not take the initiative to ask for the ball, but will actively support O'Neal under the basket.

Now, on the court, the Bobcats' position is that O'Neal is under the basket, Chen Xiao is holding the ball outside the free throw line, and Kidd, Rose, and Granger are standing in a circle around the three-point line.

"The Bobcats' offensive space has been expanded to the extreme!"

"The Heat don't worry about defending O'Neal one-on-one under the basket, and they don't worry about defending Chen Xiao one-on-one outside the free throw line. The positions where O'Neal and Chen Xiao are standing at this time are the most threatening to them offensively. Location!"

Facing a formation like the Bobcats, the Heat players almost immediately chose to shrink into the three-point line. This is their player instinct as a dynasty team.

Although Yao Ming is very strong, it is very dangerous to put Yao Ming under the basket and expose him one-on-one to O'Neal.

Similarly, although Tony Allen is strong, it is also dangerous to put Tony Allen one-on-one in front of Chen Xiao.

Teacher Tony is not facing Xiao Du, but Chen Xiao, whose strength is comparable to Xiao Zhan, whose mid-range shooting is comparable to Xiao Du, whose breakthrough is comparable to Tracy McGrady, and whose three-pointer is comparable to Ray Allen!

Let's just say, one-on-one, Chen Xiao is invincible. As long as you give Chen Xiao enough space for singles, let alone Teacher Tony, even top brother Kazi or Master Pi will be the same in front of him.

Therefore, after the Heat players instinctively chose to shrink, Chen Xiao, who was holding the ball in the high position, flicked the ball to Granger at 45 degrees on the left. Granger raised his knife and dropped it, facing the flying ball. Wade made a three-pointer.

3 to 2!

Clear, simple and effective.

That's how this Bobcats offense makes everyone feel.

There is really a sense of harmony between nature and man.

"This is not an offensive system that Jordan can train. This is simply taking advantage of the offensive deterrence of Chen Xiao and O'Neal!"

O'Neal is the player with the greatest threat to the basket in NBA history. Even now, he is still the player with the greatest threat to the basket in the league.

Chen Xiao is the player with the strongest offensive deterrent beyond the free throw line in NBA history.

In addition, Chen Xiao has the top passing ability, vision and basketball intelligence in NBA history. As long as the two of them are one inside and one outside, with Chen Xiao and O'Neal as the core, and paired with three outstanding shooters, this It is the strongest offensive system!

"It's still Kidd and Rose standing outside. What if Kidd and Rose were replaced by Roy and Shane Battier?"

This is simply unimaginable. At the very least, people like Kobe and Garnett in front of the TV will feel numb just thinking about it.

It turns out that this is the Bobcats’ trump card!

As for the pick-and-roll between Chen Xiao and O'Neal played by the Bobcats before, the pick-and-roll between Kidd and Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's offense with the help of O'Neal's off-ball screen, etc., these previous offensive modes of the Bobcats are among the contents shown in the Bobcats' current offense. , simply not worth mentioning.

"Facing the Heat, who have already gone to their graves, the Bobcats actually used their trump card?"

After many people were shocked by the Bobcats' trump card, they were also very confused about the fact that the Bobcats actually used their trump card in this game without worrying about promotion.

It's true that the Bobcats' trump card is very strong, but is it unnecessary?

What's more, the Heat are still the team of Wade and Yao Ming, so there seems to be no need to fight to the death, right?

With such doubts, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw an almost massacre-style game between the Bobcats and the Heat.

In the first quarter of this game, the Heat, relying on the hard work of Wade and Yao Ming, were barely evenly matched with the Bobcats.

After the first quarter, the Heat were 33-37, trailing by 4 points.

But after the second quarter started, the Heat really felt like a defeat.

In the first quarter of the game, both Wade and Yao Ming showed their attitudes. Wade made a crazy lightning breakthrough and faced the defense of Chen Xiao and the Bobcats. He made 6 of 8 in a single quarter and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 16 points in a single quarter. , the two missed were both three-pointers, that is to say, Wade did not miss a single two-pointer in a single quarter.

Yao Ming was slightly worse than Wade, but he also made 5 of 7 in the first quarter and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds.

The most important thing is that the two played the entire first quarter.

The two played so strongly in the first quarter, unprecedentedly strong. Just like Xiao Yang said, they hoped to arouse the team's emotions and the emotions of their teammates from the beginning.

But in the second quarter of the game, when Yao Ming went to rest and Wade also went to rest for the first time in this series, the Heat collapsed...

In the second quarter, the Heat were beaten 36-16 by the Bobcats at their home court, losing by 20 points in a single quarter!

Bosh, who was deliberately left in the second quarter to play the entire game and take turns, was almost like a walking zombie in the second quarter.

Bosh, who played the entire quarter, made 1 of 5 in a single quarter and scored 4 points.

However, under his defense, Chen Xiao made 8 of 12 shots and 5 of 6 three-pointers in this quarter, scoring an astonishing 21 points in a single quarter.

In the whole quarter, Chen Xiao took 12 shots and didn't even make a single free throw. Is this Bosh's defense clean?

Indeed, Bosh's defense is still clean, but the most important thing is that Bosh is out of control on defense.

Although Bosh's offense collapsed in the last game, luckily the defense was still there, but in this game, Bosh's direct defense was gone.

In this quarter, Bosh was asked to defend Chen Xiao because Tony Allen was not tall enough and would have no effect on Chen Xiao's passing and organization. Therefore, switching to Bosh, who is taller, hoped to affect Chen Xiao's passing vision and organization.

Indeed, Chen Xiao's passing vision and organization were affected, but Chen Xiao's personal offense was also opened up.

In this game, Chen Xiao's touch was quite outstanding!

"This is the terrifying thing about the Bobcats' secret weapon. If you guard Chen Xiao and O'Neal tightly, others can kill you. When you guard others tightly, Chen Xiao and O'Neal can really fight one-on-one. I’ll kill you!”

In singles in the most comfortable area, with the abilities of Chen Xiao and O'Neal, they can create a very terrifying offensive state.

Under this tactical system of the Bobcats, almost all of Chen Xiao's advantages, including attack, passing and deterrence, were brought into full play.

As a result, for a team like the Heat, after three quarters, the Bobcats were 109-73, leading by 36 points.

After killing the Heat by 20 points in the second quarter, the Bobcats still scored 36-24 in the third quarter.

Therefore, the fourth quarter of this game became completely garbage time.

Chen Xiao, Wade and Yao Ming never played again.

As for Chen Xiao, after only playing 32 minutes in this game, he made 18 of 25, 10 of 11 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 50 points in the three quarters, plus 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

In the third quarter, I almost had a 50+ triple-double.

"This is the strongest Bobcat, is this the strongest Xiao Chen?!"

At the end of the third quarter, Wade and Yao Ming, who were sitting on the bench, looked at Chen Xiao's technical statistics for this game, and their hands holding Chen Xiao's technical statistics were a little trembling.

The performance of the Bobcats and Chen Xiao in this game did not disappoint them.

What let them down was the performance of their teammates.

Perhaps the only thing that made them happy was that in the fourth quarter, the Heat and Bobcats actually played 23-23, and the two teams actually tied.

You know, the Bobcats have the strongest bench in the NBA.

Based on the state the Heat showed in the first three quarters, in the fourth quarter, the Heat lost ten points off the bench, which is really not much.

In this game, except for a few people, the Heat really had no state or fighting spirit.

But in the fourth quarter, Heat substitute Patty Mills was both surprising and surprising.

The Heat guard ignored the crazy 'Kyrey'. Not only did he score 17 points in a single quarter, but he also defeated the opponent's young Curry and defeated the opponent's Jim Butler and other Bobcat substitutes. The Heat scored points they shouldn't have scored, and at the same time, it also disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Bobcats players.

In the end, he saved the last dignity for the Heat.

Otherwise, 58 is definitely possible in this game.

132 to 96, even if there was no 58, this score was indeed too cruel.

However, many people were puzzled. After the game, when Wade and Yao Ming hugged Chen Xiao and sincerely said thank you, everything came to light.

It's not that Chen Xiao doesn't care about brotherly feelings.

But...

"Next season, the Heat are going to have an earthquake!"

"However, congratulations to the Bobcats, congratulations to the Wonder Boys, congratulations to them for sweeping the Heat with a score of 4-0, and congratulations to them for winning the 2009-2010 NBA championship!"

Buckley finished shouting excitedly.

The expressions on the faces of Chen Xiao, Garnett and other Lakers and Timberwolves players and coaches in front of the TV instantly became very ugly, and they clenched their fists tightly.

It stands to reason that there must be a lot of scolding at this time.

NBA players don’t have that good ‘quality’.

But after this game, all the curses were suppressed.

Barkley really deserves a beating.

But his words were so irrefutable.

In this game and this series, the Bobcats performed so convincingly!
