I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the series between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers was very tense, and almost every game was very tight.

On the other side, the same is true for the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Heat and Bucks.

But in the Eastern Conference finals, the showdown between the Bobcats and the Bucks, the score between the two sides was indescribable.

In G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bobcats defeated the Bucks by 30 points 130 to 100. In G2, the Bobcats, who continued to play at home, defeated the Bucks with a score of 128 to 110.

Although the score difference in this game is not as exaggerated as 30 points, to be honest, for the Eastern Conference finals, two teams that are so close in strength have a score difference of close to 18 points, which is also quite exaggerated.

In this game, Chen Xiao and Rose, who performed well in G1 with both 34 points, once again performed at an excellent level.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 18 of 28, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. As a center, he once again scored 46 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks in the game. .

Although Rose's statistics are much different than Chen Xiao's, his performance on the court can definitely be said to be comparable. He made 18 of 24 in the game, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 43 in the game. point.

In this game, Rose once again defeated his opponent Curry. This can actually be seen from Rose's shooting percentage. This shooting percentage is higher than that of Chen Xiao, who plays center, almost 80%.

Let's put it this way, this game was 8 of 20 in the game. Amid the boos from the Bobcats fans in the audience and Rose's unreasonable physical confrontation and sudden shooting style, Curry, who was driven crazy by Rose, He didn't play very well on both offense and defense.

In fact, the duel between Rose and Curry, a group of young point guards, only happened once in the playoffs last season.

Both were equal in the playoffs last season.

In the playoffs last season, Rose averaged 30+ points per game when playing against the Cavaliers. He led the team to defeat the Cavaliers with the team's core style of play, crushed Conley to advance, and became famous.

Curry became famous last season when he also performed an incredible personal performance against the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After these two series last season, many people said that Rose and Curry were the two best point guards after Paul and Deron, and together with Paul Deron, they became the top four point guards in the league.

It can be said that the two of them are like a mirror looking at each other.

Therefore, the duel between the two in last season's Eastern Conference Finals attracted special attention, and of course we now know the final result. It can be said that Xiaoku suffered a disastrous defeat. He was crushed by Rose's crazy body flow and the super high intensity. Under the defense of the Bobcats, Xiaoku struggled almost every game in the playoffs against the Bobcats last season. In the end, Xiaoku was forced to gain weight crazily last summer, even if it meant sacrificing touch, he had to gain weight and compete.

Because Curry also understands that no matter how good your touch is and how strong your shooting is, if you suffer too much in the confrontation, then you will not be able to become a key player in dominating the game, especially in such a critical game when facing a strong opponent.

Therefore, this season, Xiaoku's physical confrontation has become much stronger. Even because of his tireless running and entanglement on the defensive end, his defensive data is very good. Many Xiaoku fans say that his The defensive data does not say that he defeated Chen Xiao as the best defensive player, but there is definitely no problem in entering the defensive team.

It is precisely because of this that many Ku's fans are actually looking forward to facing Rose again this time, Ku's destined enemy.

But judging from the previous two games, Xiaoku's performance is not much better than last season's playoffs, and even looks a little worse. After all, although Xiaoku didn't play well last season, Ross has never seen such an explosion.

But in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals this season, Rose scored 77 points, averaging close to 40 points per game.

It has to be said that in this season's playoffs, after Stoudemire and O'Neal left, Granger was injured, and the Bobcats were left with only Chen Xiao and Rose Roy from the five-stars who averaged 20 per game last season, Rose's performance was indeed extraordinary. Excellent, not only took the offensive ball left by Stoudemire and Granger, but also performed very well.

So this made Barkley and Chen Xiaochui sigh after the second game of the duel: "Last season, I thought Rose was barely a superstar. Now, Rose, who is dual-core with the Wonder Boy, played like a superstar in this year's playoffs. MVP!”

Well, Barkley said that the combination of Chen Xiao and Rose made him feel like an MVP combination.

Especially in the Eastern Conference finals where Chen Xiao played center and Rose played point guard, the two were really well suited.

It seems that Rose, the point guard, was born for Chen Xiao, the center.

And Chen Xiao, the center, seems to be born for Rose, the point guard.

Yes, the internal and external combination formed by Chen Xiao and Rose in the Eastern Conference Finals is indeed very suitable.

This is also the reason why the two scored 89 points together in G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Chen Xiao can not only open up space for Rose and create breakthrough opportunities for Rose, but can also provide timely support to pass the ball to Rose, cover for Rose, pick and roll for Rose, and even guide Rose's movement.

Of course, on the other side, Rose's breakthrough can also create a lot of space for Chen Xiao under the basket.

Therefore, if Chen Xiao plays center, Rose is indeed the most suitable point guard for Chen Xiao, and he doesn't even need one.

If it weren't for G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where there was a lot of garbage time, the combination of Chen Xiao and Rose might be averaging 40+ per game now.

This is too exaggerated.

Neither OK nor YD groups are that scary.

Therefore, after the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, everyone said that the Warriors were finished, and Ku was going to be ravaged by Rose again, and even worse.

In this Eastern Conference Finals, Rose may step on Ku and become another giant in the league.

It has been said by Barkley and many experts that he is at the MVP level, so it must be at the super giant level.

And just when everyone thought Rose was going to step on Xiaoku and become a super giant.

In this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the style of painting has not changed, but the protagonist and supporting roles are suddenly out of place.

On May 30, 2012, at Bradley Arena, the Bucks were forced into a desperate situation. When they returned to their home court, they defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 134-121.

Xiaoku, who had been very frustrating in the previous two games, made 14 of 24 in this game, 8 of 14 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 41 points in an extremely efficient manner.

In this game, Ku's offense was very aggressive. His incredible three-pointers and shots made Rose very embarrassed.

Because there was too much pressure on Ku on the defensive end, Rose's offensive performance in this game was far less good than in the previous two games. He only made 8 of 20 and scored 24 points.

It can only be said that Xiaoku used his own rhythm to bring down Rose's rhythm.

The Xiaoku who returned to the home court did not look like the same player as the Xiaoku who was on the road.

Of course, Chen Xiao's performance in this game was still very stable. He made 15 of 30 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 42 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.

In this game, when almost the entire Bobcat team was knocked down by Xiaoku's shooting, Chen Xiao was the only Bobcat player who maintained his own rhythm of the game.

It has to be said that when Xiaoku shoots accurately, it really affects the opponent's mood.

This kid's current playing style makes Chen Xiao's eyes light up. It's a bit like that of Ray Allen back then. Maybe it's not as stable as the Ray Allen back then, but it's even more exciting. Ray Allen wasn't as strong back then. The ability to destroy your opponent.

It can only be said that in these years with the Bucks and with Ray Allen, Ku has indeed learned a lot.

Of course, in this game where Xiao Ku's rhythm was carried away, Chen Xiao was not the only one who was able to maintain his own style. Xiao Ku's teammate Xiao Du also maintained his own style. No matter how fierce Xiao Ku was, Xiao Du Du was always the stand-up singles player who was drifting alone and out of place. His singles did not rely on any system.

So in this game, Xiao Du, like Chen Xiao, scored 30+ points in three consecutive games. This time Xiao Du made 12 of 25, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 36 points.

Immediately after June 1st, in G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bobcats and Bucks, Curry once again played a game of his own style at the Bucks' home court. Curry shot 12 of 26 in the game. Compared with It was a little worse in the last game, but in this game Curry still made 8 of 14 and 8 three-pointers. In addition to 10 free throws and 10 hits, Curry once again scored 42 points in the game. Thus leading the Bucks to a 128-117 victory over the Bobcats.

After two consecutive away games, Xiaoku returned to home and played two more consecutive games.

So after G4, Barkley once again exclaimed: "Now I want to revise my point of view. This series not only has the two old MVPs Ray Allen and Kidd, but also the Wonder Boy, Durant. Two MVPs in their prime, as well as Rose and Curry, two MVP-level superstars!"

Yes, after these two games, Curry was also included in the NBA's "Mythical Beast List" by Barkley, becoming a super giant in the "Mythical Beast List".

There is no way. In these two games, Curry's taste is too strong. Barkley said before that there is only one mythical beast with the style of Ray Allen in NBA history. Unexpectedly, another one suddenly appeared, and The 'animal smell' is even stronger!

After scoring 40 points in two consecutive games in the playoffs, and facing a team like the Bobcats and an opponent like Rose, Curry deserves such an evaluation.

Of course, although Rose is still not as eye-catching as Curry in this game, he is not as overwhelmed as he was in the last game. In this game, Rose made 12 of 21, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. With 30 points, Rose played normally in this game.

However, after Curry's three-point shooting became popular, the impact on the game was too terrifying.

Therefore, Rose, who was playing normally, looked like he was beaten by Ku.

By the way, in this game Chen Xiao and Durant once again both had 30+ points. The difference is that Chen Xiao had a triple-double of 30+ points.

At the same time, Ray Allen, who has been completely reduced to a supporting role in this series, is actually very scary. He made 5 of 5 three-pointers and hit 100%.

In fact, Ray Allen, who is hiding in the darkness, is the scariest one. He is no longer noticed, but his shooting has not become weaker, and even his open shots have become more accurate.

Now Ray Allen is very suitable to be the "shadow shooter" hidden next to Curry and Durant.

Curry's influence in these two games seems so terrifying, and it's also because Ray Allen is adding fuel to the fire. In these two games, the two of them combined for an average of 12.5 three-pointers, and their shooting percentage exceeded 60%. Who can bear this?

Originally after the game in G2, everyone thought it would be a crushing battle without any suspense, but after the game in G4, the whole world saw it. This time in the Eastern Conference finals, the Bobcats played against the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The same, it will definitely be a famous game in NBA history.

Regardless of the previous four games, the score difference in each game was more than 10 points, and it seemed that both teams were unstable.

But in fact, the offensive capabilities of the two teams are indeed too strong. If you don't pay attention, the opponent will explode.

Moreover, both teams have too many players who can change the situation.

In the first four games, Rose and Curry seemed to dominate the situation.

But don't forget that the leaders of these two teams are Chen Xiao and Durant. They are the two real peak MVPs!

Soon, G5, the famous scene belonging to Chen Xiao and Durant, is coming!

In Game 5, the game came to Charlotte again. Curry, who had been so good in the previous two home games, pulled away again as soon as he came up. And Rose, who was facing him, because of Curry's so good performance in the previous two games, almost everyone was defeated. Part of the energy was focused on chasing Curry, and his performance on the offensive end was equally poor.

As for the other Bobcats players, after experiencing Curry's heartbreaking rhythm in the first two games, their offensive performance was a bit awkward. In fact, it was mainly because after the first four games, the players of the two teams became more familiar with each other and the defensive skills were better. It is also more targeted.

Therefore, the other players of both teams were very jerky when they came up to attack.

In this case, the first four games belonged to Chen Xiao and Durant, who helped their teammates and stood up from the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Bucks scored a total of 28 points. Xiao Du alone made 5 of 5, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points.

No matter whether it's Jimmy Butler, Barnes or Key, they can't guard him.

As for the Bobcats, Chen Xiao did not make much concessions. He made 6 of 10 in a single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 16 points in a single quarter.

The Bobcats also led the Bucks by 1 point 29-28 at home.

In the second quarter of the game, due to a large amount of rotation time, Chen Xiao and Durant's playing time dropped a bit, but their scoring was still terrifying.

Durant and Chen Xiao both scored 11 points in a single quarter.

The scoring performance of the two is equally excellent, and the rotation of the two teams is also very close. The Bucks, with rotation players such as Nene, Ariza, Marion, Diner, Belinelli, etc., are definitely the best in the league. The team with the strongest rotation besides the Bobcats.

Like the Bobcats, the Bucks claim to be a team that can play 48 minutes with the same quality and intensity.

So after the second quarter, the two teams once again scored an excellent score of 29 to 29.

At halftime, the two teams were 57 to 58, and the Bobcats only won by one point.

Chen Xiao and Durant have already scored 27 and 26 points respectively in the first half of the game.

The two scored very high, but it seems that the scoring ratio between the two is not half of the team's, so it's just average?

In fact, anyone who watched this game knows that every score scored by the two men in this game is crucial. When the team cannot score or is lagging behind, the two of them step up and score.

It can be said that both of them scored key points in this game.

The state of the game between the two is very incredible. According to Barkley: "I have seen many scoring duels between super scorers, but every score like this game between Durant and Wonder Boy is a key score, so I’ve never seen a scoring duel with a lot of ‘key points’!”

After Barkley's incredible words, Kenny Smith couldn't help but echoed: "Their scores seem to be less than half of their respective teams, but they make people feel like there are only two of them on the court. This kind of picture It’s so incredible, before this duel between these two, I never believed there was a player in the world who could play key goals for a whole game!”

In a game, most players' scores are actually simple scores.

Like Iverson and Kobe, every goal is as beautiful as a buzzer-beater, but there are actually very few.

But there are obviously players with the same style of play like Kobe, Iverson, and Maizi. Why do they feel that this duel between Chen Xiao and Durant is the first time they have seen it?

Because the efficiency of Boss Ke, Boss Ai and Maizi fluctuates too much.

Take Kobe as an example. Let’s not talk about a few games, let’s just talk about one game. Maybe there is iron oxide in the front, and N consecutive hits in the back. This ups and downs makes it difficult to play like Chen Xiao and Durant. So stable as a dog's temperament.

More importantly, a duel requires the cooperation of two people.

Boss Ke may be as stable as a dog in a certain game, but you also need opponents such as Maizi or Ai Boss to be as stable as a dog, and your teammates must cooperate very well.

It can be said that this matchup between Chen Xiao and Durant is a very rare opportunity.

Teammates on both sides pulled.

At the same time, the two of them are really strong and their scoring is really stable!

Both of them are famous 50-50 players in the league. Anyway, my shooting depends not on defense, but on my feel and condition.

Even the taller and longer Durant has even stronger talent with such a 50-50 talent.

Of course, Chen Xiao's skills are more comprehensive and his abilities are stronger, so the two of them are almost the same. Well, the premise is that when the physical strength is sufficient, everyone knows that Chen Xiao's physical strength allows him to play 60 minutes in a game. To maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness, Xiao Du, well, he was able to reach the top in 48 minutes.

Therefore, the two have similar scoring abilities, but if they really want to score points, Chen Xiao must be the stronger one.

This was the case in this game. In 48 minutes of regular time, the Bobcats and Bucks tied at 115-115.

With 8 seconds left in the game, Chen Xiao hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc at the buzzer, giving the Bobcats a 3-point lead.

On the Bucks' side, Durant signaled not to call a timeout. After holding the ball from the backcourt for halftime, facing Jimmy Butler's defense, he took two or even three steps outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left. With Butler's defense, he hit a three-pointer!

In the end, the game was dragged into overtime, but after the overtime, the Bobcats and Chen Xiao still had room to score.

As for Xiao Du, who had a fierce battle with Chen Xiao, his hand dropped off a cliff in the overtime, and he actually posted a 0-for-4 performance in the overtime.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Bucks 130-120 under the leadership of Chen Xiao in the very crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In the game, Chen Xiao made 19 of 31 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. In the game, Chen Xiao scored 53 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

After having a 60+ triple-double against the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao had another 50+ triple-double against the Bucks. Chen Xiao is frantically setting various triple-double records this season.

As for the Bucks, Durant, who competed with Chen Xiao for 48 minutes in this game, made 19 of 32 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 49 points and 13 rebounds. and a super triple-double with 10 assists.

One is a 50+ triple-double, and the other is also close to a 50+ triple-double.

If Durant makes even one of his two free throws in overtime, it will not affect the result of the game, but it will reach the peak of his career statistics.

After all, Durant has never been a player known for his triple-doubles and assists in the league.

However, he is indeed the only player after Chen Xiao to be so close to a 50+ triple-double in the playoffs.

Moreover, it is really super close. With Durant's free throw ability, the probability of 0-for-2 is so low.

However, although the Bucks and Durant lost in this game, to be honest, Durant's performance in this game really attracted the attention of the Bobcat audience, commentators such as Barkley and Kenny Smith Zhang, as well as the TV The boss in front of him and others were stunned.

After the game, looking at Durant hugging Chen Xiao and Jordan with tears in his eyes on TV, Mr. Ke was really dumbfounded.

"This is the first time I've seen someone share 48 minutes with Chen Biao evenly!"

After Ko finished speaking, Billups next to him added: "It's the key goal in the game to score points!"

If it really compares to how many points he can score, he thinks he might be on par with Chen Xiao, or even defeat Chen Xiao.

But in a game like this, every ball is almost a key ball. He feels that it is impossible for him. Difficult balls are different from key balls. Even if each of his balls looks like a winning goal, it is not. In this game, Durant and Chen Xiao were able to tie or go ahead if they hit the ball.

"If you take into account 0-for-4 in overtime, Durant may have scored more key goals in the first four quarters. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Bobcats were leading most of the first four quarters, but..."

"This kid is really strong!"

This is the unanimous consensus of the Lakers, that is, Durant is really strong.

"Is this the apprentice taught by Michael and Chen, the one Michael said, maybe the only one who can defeat Chen?"

Phil Jackson's eyes shone with a strange light. As Chen Xiao's biggest victim and a patient with Chen Xiao's phobia, he felt for the first time that maybe there really was a second Chen Xiao in this world.

At least, in the 48 minutes of the game, Durant looked so like...
