I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the first quarter of the game, with Chen Xiao's super performance of 7 of 8 in a single quarter and 3 of 3 free throws, with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, the Bobcats won 36 to 35 in the first quarter of this stressful away game. Leading the Dallas Mavericks by 1 point.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats relied on Chen Xiao's threat in the penalty area. Chen Xiao constantly received the ball in the penalty area and played singles. While scoring for himself, he also created opportunities for his teammates.

Driven by Chen Xiao, O'Neal made 3 of 3 and 2 of 6 free throws, scoring 8 points. The most surprising thing was Battier. Battier, who replaced Granger, scored from the three-point line in the first quarter. Chen Xiao received three passes from the outside, and the hit rate was an astonishing 2 of 3.

Although they are all relatively open three-pointers, in such a game, it is not easy for you to hit the shot.

It's hard to say bad about Stoudemire and Granger's offensive opportunities in the first two games, but if you miss the shot, you miss the shot.

Do you dare to say that Shane is stronger than Stoudemire and Granger?

It can only be said that some players are born to deal with such scenes.

In the first quarter of this game, the Bobcats had a high shooting percentage. Chen Xiao took the fourth position and operated in the penalty area. The Mavericks could not find a suitable defensive player to deal with Chen Xiao.

Because Chen Xiao and O'Neal are too close to each other, Tyson Chandler and the Mavericks don't dare to double-check Chen Xiao like crazy. As long as you double-check Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's ball-playing ability can make you pay the price. In the first quarter, Chen Xiao Xiao not only scored 17 points but also had 4 assists as proof.

Of course, the Mavericks' offense in the first quarter was equally powerful.

The Bobcats shot 55% in the first quarter and 75% from three-point range, while the Mavericks shot 61% from the field and 67% from three-point range.

With the offensive efficiency of the two teams in the first quarter of this game, the audience on the sidelines and in front of the TV were truly stunned.

At the very least, Durant and Curry at the scene were deeply shocked at this time.

"Maybe against the Dallas Mavericks, we can only lose 6 games at most..."

After Durant muttered to himself, Curry nodded crazily next to him.

The strength of these two teams has reached another level now.

The game came to the second quarter. In view of the importance of this game, Chen Xiao, who had not played the whole game throughout the season, and even did not play the whole game in the first four games of this year's finals, took the initiative to ask for this game. Play the whole game.

Chen Xiao is now 29 years old. Although this age is at the peak for NBA players, anyone who understands kinesiology knows that the physical peak of male athletes begins to decline year by year after the age of 25, so Jordan's relationship with Chen Xiao The use is now quite cautious.

Of course, this is science, and Chen Xiao knows that he doesn't actually need to follow science. After all, his endurance is locked at 100.

Maybe other physical attributes will gradually deteriorate with age, but endurance is still okay.

Just because the previous games were not so urgent, he did not need to have differences with Jordan over such things.

But this game is indeed different.

And his physical reserves this season are indeed enough for him to play 48 minutes in this game.

In order to maintain the team's offensive status, the Bobcats' five players in the rotation stage are Roy, Barnes, Granger, Chen Xiao and Stoudemire.

Stoudemire plays center and Chen Xiao is still the power forward.

On the Mavericks side, young general Johnson did not try to find players to contain Chen Xiao during the rotation phase. It has to be said that young general Johnson's tactical thinking in this game was really quite open.

Chen Xiao's offense was very strong in this game. According to the general thinking of NBA head coaches, Chen Xiao's offense must be curbed.

Even if he sacrifices his own offense, he must defeat Chen Xiao's offense, but the young general Johnson is very confident that he doesn't care about Chen Xiao and the Bobcats' offense, but you attack yours and I will attack mine, and see whose offense is better. powerful.

I have to say that this is really self-confidence. The average head coach would tremble with fear when seeing Chen Xiao open it. After all, Chen Xiao is really famous.

This is a ruthless player who can average 39 points per game in the finals in his rookie season.

Such a player, when he clearly wants to show off his power, you don't care. If Phil Jackson knew this, he would have a heart attack.

As one of the coaches who was most persecuted by Chen Xiao in his career, Phil now sees in front of the TV that the young general Johnson is using the rotation of Barea, Terry, Novak, Grant Hill and Zach Randolph. The lineup is really shocking.

Like the starting lineup, the Mavericks did not prepare a dedicated defensive player for Chen Xiao.

"This is really too bold!"

As soon as the game started in the second quarter, Chen Xiao started a pick-and-roll with Roy. Under the double-teaming of Hill and Barea, he passed the ball to Roy who was momentarily open. Barea's defense did not come back. Roy faced the shrinking small player. Bull defense, easy mid-range mid-range shot.

Barea's defense speed is fast, but it is short and can't interfere at all.

38 to 35!

The Bobcats opened the point difference to 3 points.

Looking back, Barea, who had not guarded Roy just now, forced Roy to pass the ball to Novak outside, and Novak hit the pointer.

38 to 38!

Of the five players on the court of the Mavericks, Barea breaks through very quickly. The 1.83-meter guard is known to be really good at breaking through, while Terry and Novak are the most accurate three-pointers in this finals. The second player, Grant Hill is one of the most stable players in the mid-range, and Randolph is also a huge threat at the basket.

With the Mavericks' offensive hierarchy, as long as they play their offense well, to be honest, ordinary teams really can't stand it.

Therefore, the young general Johnson does have reason to stick to his own philosophy. No matter how well others attack, using offense to disrupt the opponent's offense is the best defense.

Ordinary teams cannot implement a strategy like the Mavericks, because you don't have an offense that others can't defend.

Therefore, although they had not known how many times, Durant and Curry on the sidelines once again sighed from the bottom of their hearts: "The Mavericks' offense is so strong!"

It's really so strong that you can't defend against it.

Facing such an attack, it is normal to be overwhelmed by such an attack. Veterans such as the Spurs' captain and Lakers' Ron Artest are not exempt from this, not to mention young people like Bobcat Granger.

In the NBA, it's common for a role player's sudden explosion to shatter a superstar's mentality.

As for the Mavericks, they have a group of role players like this. This is the scariest thing about the Mavericks!

In addition to Nowitzki's most terrifying performance in his career, perhaps one of the most terrifying performances in NBA player history, their role players also performed epic performances.

Just when Durant and Curry lamented the strength of the Mavericks' offense, on the court, the Bobcats attacked, and Chen Xiao and Roy picked and rolled again. This time Roy received the pass from Chen Xiao because Novak came to help defend. , so he quickly hit the ball to Granger, who was almost open.

After Granger received the ball, he did not take action immediately, but adjusted it.

Seeing Granger's adjustment, Chen Xiao frowned.

Sure enough, there was a clang, and this shot, which was obviously out of rhythm, was gone.

The previous shooting was not good, and Granger wanted to adjust. This is understandable.

Human nature.

But as an NBA shooter, you need to be confident enough in your shooting rhythm.

Otherwise, the more you adjust, the more you may lose your rhythm.

Now Granger was trapped in a cycle where nothing he could do was right.

In fact, given the opportunity just now, if he just threw it, the effect might be better.

Therefore, Granger himself felt very regretful, and after striking the iron, he jumped a little anxiously.

Chen Xiao and Jordan applauded him comfortingly.

No matter what, he dared to vote.

However, the chain reaction of this ironwork soon came out. Looking back, Barea broke through and assisted Randolph to get to the basket. Zhang Fei made a layup after embroidering Stoudemire.

40 to 38!

The Mavericks once again completed the lead.

This is not the first time that the two teams have reversed their scores in this game.

Compared with G1 of the finals, the Mavericks were not as suppressed in this game, and the two teams reached a true 50-50 tie.

After the Bobcats fell behind in the score, Chen Xiao did not come out to pick and roll with Roy again. Instead, he blocked Grant Hill at the waist under the basket. After receiving Roy's pass, Chen Xiao turned around and hit the basket. He was hugged directly by Grant Hill behind him.

Chen Xiao made two free throws.

40 to 40!

Just like the first quarter, in the second quarter, the two teams struggled together.

And it's not just the rotation stage. When the main players of both sides return, the two teams are still locked in a fight.

At the end of the half, in the second quarter, the two teams played 31 to 35. The Bobcats lost by 4 points in the second quarter.

Throughout the first half, the Bobcats lost 3 points 67-70.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats lost by 4 points.

This isn't because the Bobcats didn't play well enough.

The Bobcats played well, especially Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao played the full second quarter again, making 6 of 10 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. 4 of these 5 rebounds were in the frontcourt. The rebounds were pretty fierce.

But on the other side, the Mavericks shot 71% in the second quarter, 75% on three-pointers, and 100% on free throws.

Faced with the Mavericks' shooting percentage, to be honest, the Bobcats lost by 4 points in a single quarter. It was really thanks to Chen Xiao's crazy play.

A true father and mother, not only do I have to attack and pass, but I also have to frantically grab rebounds for my teammates.

If you want to analyze why the Bobcats lost 4 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, you still have to review the rotation stage.

The Bobcats rotation, which has always been the strongest in the league, really lost points during the rotation phase. The poor offensive state of Granger and Stoudemire made the Bobcats' rotation offense somewhat unable to keep up with their confidence. Everyone was like a dragon in the Mavericks rotation. .

However, for the two teams, a 3-point difference is, to be honest, the same as nothing.

At the very least, after half the game, no one in the Mavericks felt that they were sure to win this game.

Of course, on the other side, no Bobcats player felt they played well in the first half.

67 points at halftime. This offense looks good at first glance, but Chen Xiao scored 34 points by himself. In addition, he also had 7 assists.

In other words, at least 48 of the Bobcats' 67 points were related to Chen Xiao. After all, many of Chen Xiao's 7 assists were actually three-pointers.

In other words, the Bobcats' offense relies on Chen Xiao for an astonishing 75%!

"This is almost equivalent to Chen Xiao beating the Mavericks alone!"

No wonder Barkley and the TNT studio team exclaimed so much during the halftime break.

It's no wonder that in the Bobcats locker room on TV, except for a few people such as Chen Xiao, O'Neal, Kidd, Battier and Roy, everyone else was hanging their heads in frustration.

The Bobcats' locker room is open to the outside this season.

In O'Neill's footage, many people in the Bobcats were very depressed.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, was closing his eyes to rest. This time, Chen Xiao did not encourage his teammates like he did in G3 and G4.

"It can be seen that Wonder Boy has given up on his teammates!"

"Scott, I don't agree with your view. I don't think Chen has given up on his comrades, otherwise he wouldn't have hugged his teammates one by one at the end of the halftime break. He just knew that he needed to What to do? When the game reaches this level, any encouragement he gives to his teammates is equivalent to throwing the blame on his teammates and throwing the responsibility on their shoulders. He doesn't say anything, he just wants to shoulder the responsibility. The most important responsibility in the game is to hope that your teammates will do what they can. I don’t know what Chen whispered in the ears of his teammates when he hugged them one by one, but I believe , his teammates won’t feel any sense of abandonment.

Because, I saw the touch and love on the faces of the Bobcat players. Chen was speechless during the halftime break. It was not abandonment, but love, real love! "

Is this speechlessness a case of making love?

Pippen looked at Chris Webber who was rebutting him fiercely, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

After all, Weber's words are indeed well-founded. The Bobcats players who were shrugging their heads and feeling uneasy now do look much more relaxed.

However, as a big talker, how could Mr. Pi give in at this moment? He finally argued: "We'll see, Chris!"

These are two completely opposite views. Which one is it?

The audience in front of the TV is looking forward to it.

The third quarter started, and soon everyone knew the answer.

In the first half, the Mavericks shot 66% from the field and 72% from three-point range. In the third quarter, they shot only 50% from the field and 57% from three-point range. More importantly, in this quarter, the Bobcats did not give the Mavericks any free throws!

The focus and hard work of the Bobcat players on the defensive end is shocking.

Don't jump, don't reach out randomly. These young jumpers have finally overcome their urge to fly. If you defend hard and focus on defense, you can make the shot. We admit it, but we will never give you any easy shots. Chance to score!

24 points in a single quarter!

The Dallas Mavericks played the most inefficient offensive quarter of the game.

However, based on this shooting percentage, this is considered inefficient, and it is estimated that most teams in the league will not be able to survive.

On the other side, led by Chen Xiao, who made 5 of 8 in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, the Bobcats scored 27 points in a single quarter.

The Bobcats' shooting percentage in this quarter was a little worse than that in the first half, only 53%, which was similar to the Mavericks in the third quarter. The reason why they were able to score 3 more points than the Mavericks was mainly because of Chen Xiao's 7 rebounds. Of these 7 rebounds, 4 are offensive rebounds.

The Bobcats scored 27 points in a single quarter, and Chen Xiao scored 14 points and 5 assists alone. Not counting the three-pointers, he contributed at least 24 points. This is more than 90% of the offensive contribution rate!

In fact, after watching this game, everyone knows that Chen Xiao's actual offensive participation is 100!

Because of Chen Xiao's five assists, three were three-pointers, two of which were three-pointers after grabbing offensive rebounds.

75% of the offensive participation in the first half was already very scary.

In the third quarter, Chen Xiao actually achieved 100% offensive participation in a single quarter.

This is no longer ‘almost’, but truly one person playing against a team!

Therefore, whether in front of the TV or in the audience, at the end of the third quarter, almost everyone looked at Chen Xiao on the TV high-fiving his teammates with their mouths wide open.

horrible!

It's really scary!

Chen Xiao, who played the fourth position in this game, had already scored 48 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists after the third quarter!

In three quarters, he had such a super triple-double!

The whole world is boiling at this moment!

Because everyone has seen that the highest scoring record of 61 points in a single game in the finals is very likely to be broken in the future!

According to the Mavericks' defensive strategy in this game and the Bobcats' offensive reliance on Chen Xiao in this game, Chen Xiao's game is very likely to break the Lakers' Baylor's 61-point game in the 1962 Finals. Score record.

Therefore, at this time, during the break, no one in the TNT studio was discussing the Bobcats' collapse. There was only one topic that everyone was discussing, and that was Chen Xiao's data in this game.

If Chen Xiao really surpasses Baylor in this game, then Chen Xiao's data in this game will be a triple-double of 60 points!

The stage of the finals, a 60-point triple-double!

Anyone who knows the NBA will tremble at this data.

Of course, at this time, TNT's studio team has become Chris Webber's personal stage. Because Chen Xiao's speculation on the motivation method of Bobcat players during halftime was successful, Webber is now the king of the team.

"So, I have always said that what reflects the value of a leader is never what he says, but what he does on the court. What Chen does on the court is more important than saying, 'Under my wings, I protect. You guys!’ is much more useful.”

After Weber finished speaking with a smile, Pippen's originally black face was so ugly that ink was dripping from his face.

Because it was him who was the target of Weber's whipping.

When Chen Xiao was silent during the intermission, Pippen said sarcastically: "At this time, Chen should stand up, open his arms, and say to his comrades: 'Under my wings, I will protect you!'"

Seeing Weber who was like a star at this time, Mr. Pi was of course very unhappy. At the end, he added: "Any data that does not win is bullshit!"

The whole place was silent.

Yeah, any stat that doesn't win, is bullshit.

And now, after the third quarter, the score between the two sides is 84 to 84!

The Mavericks rotated normally in the first three quarters, but Chen Xiao has played with high intensity for 36 minutes!

Under the grand scene of Chen Xiao's fight, the danger of the Bobcats has not left.

And that great leader of the Bobcats, can he finally lead his comrades to escape?

Everyone looked at the Bobcat No. 11 on the TV who was still on the court after the start of the fourth quarter.

In this game, Chen Xiao really has to play for 48 minutes.

Looking at Chen Xiao on the court, Johnson, the young general on the sidelines, was full of praise. In three quarters, he scored 48 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. This was the finals. Although his defensive strategy was not strict, these statistics still looked like Superman.

No, not like, but just like Superman!
