I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 678 I originally wanted to kneel down!

With Chen Xiao's 48 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists in three quarters, the Bobcats, who were in dire straits and playing on the road, tied with the Mavericks at 94 after three quarters. Theoretically, the two teams were back on the same starting line.

But obviously, this theory is untrue, and it does not mean that the two teams did not play in the first three quarters.

Because Chen Xiao did consume a lot of money in the first three quarters. Not to mention the efforts that Chen Xiao put in to get these scoring and assist data, just talking about Chen Xiao's offensive rebounds in this game required a lot of consumption.

Therefore, the same starting line is the same starting line, and the price paid by the Bobcats to reach the same starting line with the Mavericks is also extremely huge.

And this may be the reason why Johnson and the Mavericks fans are still confident.

Now the Bobcats' offense relies too much on Chen Xiao.

Because the Mavericks' offensive efficiency is so high, many players from teams like the Bobcats are afraid to attack, or their offensive state is unbalanced. There is nothing they can do, and the psychological pressure is too great.

Except for Chen Xiao, few Bobcats have the confidence to compete with such a Mavericks.

In this case, it is actually excusable to have too much psychological pressure.

It's just excusable, not acceptable.

Jordan certainly hopes that other Bobcat players can stand up in the fourth quarter, but at the same time, he is afraid of this critical moment. Except for Chen Xiao, no one has the ability to stand up. If others are forced to stand up, maybe in the end Will become an undercover agent.

Therefore, in this situation, even if Jordan hoped that the Bobcats could disperse the offense, in the end they could only put the offense on Chen Xiao.

All I can say is that what Chen Xiao said when he hugged other Bobcat players during the halftime break was so accurate.

"Next, leave all the offense to me."

This is not only confidence in one's own strength, but also prediction of the game situation.

Don’t let it be because the Bobcats have many offensive players and can play a lot, but when your team has a player like Chen Xiao, when the game reaches the most difficult time, everyone will still involuntarily put everything on Chen Xiao. on the body.

Chen Xiao predicted this, and the Mavericks' head coach, General Johnson, also saw it.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks' first offense handed the ball to Grant Hill and asked Hill to hit Chen Xiao.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Chen Xiao was leading the team in rotation time, while the Mavericks still had the same point-winning rotation in the second quarter, with Randolph, Grant Hill, Novak, Terry and Barea. .

As soon as the Mavericks came up, they asked Hill to play Chen Xiao in isolation. Of course, it was not for offense, but simply to consume Chen Xiao.

After Hill and Chen Xiao struggled with each other for a while, they didn't want to fight. Grant Hill, who had no chance under Chen Xiao's defense, hit the ball to Randolph's hands under the basket. After Randolph shook Stoudemire, Leaning on Stoudemire, he completed the iconic little hook. He missed, but it caused Stoudemire to foul.

In the third quarter, the Bobcats players defended very well and did not give the Mavericks free throws. Obviously, the Mavericks took advantage of this in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks' offense became more cautious.

It can only be said that every player on the Mavericks is full of offensive threats. It is difficult for you to really ignore the offensive threats of the Mavericks players. They stand there like a wooden stake and remain motionless.

Especially for Stoudemire, this is even more difficult.

Fortunately, Randolph made 1 of 2 free throws, which is a blessing in misfortune.

95 to 94!

This is acceptable to both sides. The Mavericks can still score points after "temptation consumes" Chen Xiao.

For the Bobcats, they scored 1 point in one round, which is also acceptable.

It was the Bobcats' turn to attack, and it was clear that the Mavericks' first offense was going to consume Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao seemed to not see it. On the offensive end, he was still working hard to move, cover, and pick and roll for his teammates, not caring at all that Chen Xiao could actually give up.

According to the view of Mavericks head coach Junior General Johnson, after Chen Xiao understands the Mavericks' intentions, the offense does not actually need to do so much green work. He only needs to be the last red flower.

But obviously, everyone underestimated Chen Xiao's selflessness.

same……

"Everyone also underestimates Boy Wonder's physical ability. How much fuel reserves does his body have now?!"

It's hard not to let Barkley exclaim like that.

Because Chen Xiao had already played 36 minutes before, and had already scored 48 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, dominating both offense and defense. With such a performance, if you say that this player's physical condition is still at its peak, it would be a lie.

Even Jordan and other famous physical monsters in the league should probably have weak feet and weak offense at this time, and then the number of irons will increase sharply, right?

But what about Chen Xiao?

After Chen Xiao vigorously covered the running Curry in the paint area, he received Roy's pass and pressed forward like Randolph behind him.

Randolph is very strong, but Chen Xiao, who has the body of an admiral, although his lower body strength cannot resist the big butt, his upper body strength is the same as that of an admiral, which is at the top level, and his arm span is also at the top level. As long as Chen Xiaohe and the generals are allowed to jump up, it is definitely not something that a player with Randolph's height and bounce can stop.

Obviously, during the Bobcats' offense just now, the Mavericks' defense paid too much attention to Curry's movement, and was caught off guard by the tacit reverse movement cooperation of Roy and Chen Xiao.

Bang bang!

Because Randolph's huge body blocked Chen Xiao's dunk.

However, like Randolph in the last round, both caused fouls by defensive players.

Chen Xiao made 2 free throws, 96 to 95!

The Bobcats once again took a 1-point lead.

In fact, what everyone is paying attention to at this time is not the one-point lead.

At this time, whether it is the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, there is only one thing that they are paying attention to at this time, and that is Chen Xiao's physical fitness.

"This is a guy who has played 37 consecutive minutes and has scored 48 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists?"

The rebound that Randolph made 1 of 2 free throws just now belonged to Chen Xiao.

Durant and Curry, the two little guys on the sidelines, were stunned at this time.

After Chen Xiao made two free throws, Chen Xiao's data in this game also became 50 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists.

"The first 50+ triple-double in the history of the NBA Finals was born!"

After the first 40-point triple-double in the history of the finals, Chen Xiao set another finals record.

And if you look at Chen Xiao's finals data at this time, it's obvious that Chen Xiao is going to blow up the screen in this game!

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The game lasted 9 minutes and 34 seconds in the fourth quarter. Chen Xiao made 1 of 2 free throws, and the second free throw hit the target. However, the energetic Chen Xiao seemed to know that he would miss this free throw. After the free throw hit, like Like a roc spreading its wings, it flew up to grab the offensive rebound, and then took advantage of the situation and smashed into the basket with a one-handed dunk.

At this time, the Mavericks' Randolph, Grant Hill, Novak, Terry, Barea and other players who are either small, short, slow, old or heavy can only watch helplessly. Chen Xiao grabbed his 19th rebound of the game.

Immediately afterwards, with 8 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, Barea grabbed Terry's three-pointer and knocked the offensive rebound outside the three-point line. He took advantage of the situation and made a strong three-pointer. Under the interference of Curry, he again With one strike, Chen Xiao collected the backcourt rebound, raising his total number of rebounds in this game to 20.

When Chen Xiao grabbed his 20th rebound in this game, the commentators from all over the world were all excited.

Among them, the Chinese commentators such as Teacher Zhang are particularly impressive.

"Congratulations to Chen Xiao. In this game, he set a new record for a single game in the finals. He became the first player in NBA history to score 50+20, 50+20+10, 50+20 in the finals. +15 players!"

During the rotation time between the Bobcats and the Mavericks in the second quarter, the Mavericks suppressed the Bobcats.

But now, in the fourth quarter of the rotation, with the same lineup, the Mavericks were suppressed by the Bobcats.

It should be said that he was suppressed by Chen Xiao alone!

Logically speaking, this player should have been somewhat exhausted, but his burst of energy in the fourth quarter made Johnson, the Mavericks head coach on the sidelines, feel like he was seeing a wall hanging that made him tremble.

Yes, at this time, the young general Johnson, who didn't understand why this happened, really felt that Chen Xiao was cheating.

Of course, he knew that no one in this world could really cheat, so he and everyone must have underestimated Chen Xiao's physical ability and endurance.

Even though they already regarded Chen Xiao as a Jordan-level player, they still underestimated Chen Xiao's endurance and physical fitness.

Chen Xiao, that’s Zhang’s 20,000-level endurance and physical fitness!

Therefore, less than 4 minutes into the game, the Mavericks' head coach, General Johnson, immediately requested a timeout and then brought in the Mavericks' main players in advance.

He has now seen that the Mavericks' rotation lacks sufficient athletic ability and height for Chen Xiao. It is simply a data-boosting formation tailor-made for Chen Xiao.

Especially after the Bobcats players became more focused on defense, the Mavericks' offensive efficiency continued to decline, which further exacerbated their disadvantage.

Let's put it this way, the Mavericks' shooting rate of over 60% and three-point shooting rate of over 70% in the first half of this game is abnormal.

Even if this team is the Mavericks, this kind of efficiency is still abnormal.

In fact, in the third quarter, with the Bobcats' excellent defense, the Mavericks could still shoot 53% from the field, which is still not normal.

In the fourth quarter, the Mavericks' offense, under the united defense of the Bobcat players, finally returned to its normal trajectory.

This is not just a possible change in the Mavericks players' own feel.

It was also Chen Xiao's strong performance that changed the fighting spirit of Bobcat players.

Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao said, leave the offense in this game to him, and he really did it, and with his own strength, he really withstood the superb offense in front of the Mavericks.

In this case, even if you are a cold stone, you will be moved by it.

In particular, don't think that Chen Xiao's statistics in this game are constantly flooding the screen. Only the on-site commentary and the audience in front of the TV are excited.

In fact, as a Bobcat player on the same court as Chen Xiao, he is the most excited one!

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy for becoming the first player to reach 50+20+10 in the NBA Finals!"

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy for becoming the first player to reach 50+20+15 in the NBA Finals!"

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy for becoming the first player to reach 60+20 in the finals!"

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy for becoming the first player to achieve 60+20+10 and 60+20+15 in the finals!"

"Three points, Boy Wonder's first three-pointer in the fourth quarter. This is Boy Wonder's 62nd point of the game!"

"Congratulations to Wonder Boy for becoming the highest scoring player in NBA Finals history!"

Killing like crazy!

In the fourth quarter of this game, Chen Xiao could be described as crazy!

Chen Xiao, who played the fourth position in this game, truly defeated an epic team with just one person!

Of course, judging from the actual performance of the game, the Mavericks players did not collapse.

Chen Xiao was so strong in the fourth quarter. As Chen Xiao continued to refresh the screen and the morale of every Bobcat player exploded, the final score of the game was 126 to 122, and the Mavericks lost by only 4 points.

In the fourth quarter, the score between the Bobcats and the Mavericks was 32 to 28.

With a score like this, you have to say that the Mavericks players were defeated.

That's definitely not right.

But the actual situation is that the Mavericks players did not collapse, but the Mavericks team did.

Whether it was the young general Johnson as the head coach, the home fans at the scene, or their boss, the maverick Cuban, at the end of the game, his mouth opened wide as if he could swallow his own fist.

"What an incredible victory!"

"18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, 66 points, 23 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in the game. Congratulations to Wonder Boy, he played the greatest individual performance in the history of the NBA Finals!"

Hands down the greatest solo performance ever!

This can be seen from the fact that Bobcats head coach Jordan excitedly rushed to Chen Xiao and raised a white towel to Chen Xiao after the game.

Jordan used the most standard French surrender gesture to declare to Chen Xiao and the world that he had surrendered. Whether he really meant it or Chen Xiao's performance in this game made him temporarily passionate. In any case, when Jordan was excited Raising the white flag to Chen Xiao, the debate between Chen Xiao and Jordan that lasted for a whole year this season has come to a complete end.

This season's NBA has also reached its climax.

After the game, when he was asked many times about Chen Xiao's action of raising the white flag, Jordan smiled and answered like this: "At that moment, I originally wanted to kneel to him, he was like God. The same thing saved us all, but at the same moment, I knew I couldn’t kneel because I was Michael Jordan!”

Three days after the game ended, on June 12, 2011, the Bobcats defeated the Dallas Mavericks 102-96 at their home court and successfully defended their NBA championship.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, won the NBA Finals MVP again with averages of 40.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game.

With the fifth championship of his career and the fifth FMVP of his career, Chen Xiao used his own hands to bring the most perfect ending to the ninth season of his career.
