I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Can you still save New Jersey?"

Rod Thorn's sudden words made Chen Xiao a little stunned. Chen Xiao certainly didn't believe that Rod Thorn knew about the agreement between him and Jordan.

"Chen, the Nets are about to become another Seattle SuperSonics."

After Rod Thorn spoke in Chen Xiao's ear, he let Chen Xiao go. Looking at the smile on Rod Thorn's face at this time, I'm afraid no one knew the tone of the old man's words in Chen Xiao's ear. The helplessness.

After Chen Xiao smiled with Rod Thorn, he also turned and walked towards the court.

At this time, the cheers continued, while Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.

Are the Nets about to become the next Seattle SuperSonics?

In other words, someone is now planning to buy the Nets and move them?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao looked around the court at the Nets fans who had come all the way from New Jersey to the Holy City to send him blessings.

Will they, like Seattle fans, lose their team in the future?

Thinking of this, Chen Ling frowned.

Although he only played for the Nets for one year, it has to be said that the Nets are indeed a very special team in his mind.

The fans of the Nets are also very important to him.

For Chen Xiao, the New Jersey Nets represent the most middle-aged years of his career.

Now that I think about it, those two years in middle school may be shameful, but at the same time, they are also very unforgettable.

When Ron Soder said this to Chen Xiao now, he certainly did not think that Chen Xiao could return to the Nets as a player. After all, no one else knew about the tacit understanding between Chen Xiao and Jordan. Maybe only the Bobcat players were aware of it, but everyone They all had a tacit understanding and didn't say a word to the outside world.

Therefore, Rod Thorn hopes that Chen Xiao will buy the Nets.

After all, it is not a secret that Chen Xiao, as the major shareholder of Facebook, also helped Brother Wang buy the Warriors.

Chen Xiao has money, and he has enough money to buy the Nets while keeping the Nets in New Jersey.

Of course, Rodthorne's revelation of such trade secrets to Chen Xiao was certainly not because he had any special feelings for New Jersey.

When he promoted the trade of Chen Xiao for Carter, he had the intention of moving the team to New York.

When Chen Xiao was with the Nets, Rod Thorn was a firm believer in moving to New York.

Obviously, the reason why Rod Thorn whistled the news is that the new owner who bought the Nets seemed to look down on him as the general manager of the Nets. In other words, the new owner of the Nets didn't care about Ron at all. De Thorne’s connections in the NBA.

Therefore, Rod Thorne leaked business secrets like this, not for the fans of the Nets, but purely for his own interests, or in other words, for his own face and not wanting to be kicked away.

After thinking about this clearly, Chen Xiao put down Rod Thorn's informant.

Now, the most important thing is to win this must-win victory.

This game was regarded by everyone as a blessing to him. Even the opponent Spurs players expressed their blessings to him before the game, but Chen Xiao didn't think the Spurs players really gave up like this.

Maybe the Spurs don't have any chance to win the championship this season.

But the Spurs are different from the Lakers. The Lakers are an aristocratic team, with an aristocratic demeanor, and will not wallow in the mud desperately with others, but the Spurs are different.

Moreover, the Spurs do have such strength.

Although the Bobcats beat the Spurs by 20 points in the last game, this is not due to how well the Bobcats played themselves, or the huge gap in strength between them and the Spurs.

But the Spurs players' touch was really poor in the last game.

At the same time, due to poor touch, both Parker and Ginobili were a little impatient and made too many mistakes.

The Spurs committed as many as 21 turnovers in the game.

After the game, Bobo wanted to slap Manu and Tony on both ears.

But in this game, Chen Xiao didn't believe that the Spurs' touch could be that bad. At the same time, he didn't believe that Parker and Ginobili were still so impatient.

It’s already 0-3, and the mentality is definitely different from when it was 0-2.

For the Spurs, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose this game. It is definitely better to win. 1-4 is definitely more beautiful than 0-4.

But for Chen Xiao and the Bobcats, they have the pressure to win this game.

Look at the fans and audiences around them. If Chen Xiao cannot be crowned in this game, they will definitely be very disappointed. After all, everyone's emotions are already weighed down by this game.

It would indeed be a bit embarrassing if emotions couldn't break out in this game.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you are a little embarrassed. After all, if you win the championship in the next game, you will also be the championship. However, Chen Xiao's legend will be slightly less.

Well, there may be a small "laughing point" in his career. I don't know how many years from now, when others are taking stock of Chen Xiao's career, they will say that the Spurs disrupted Chen Xiao in this game, and then everyone Hehehehe.

That's more or less the case.

Therefore, for Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players, they really hope to end the finals directly in this game and vent everyone's emotions when they are brewing to the highest level.

On the court, after the players from the two teams finished warming up, the starting players from both sides also appeared on the court.

For the Spurs playing at home, the starting lineup is center Duncan, forwards Kawhi Leonard and Prince, and guards Ron Howard and Ginobili.

This is a pretty standard 1 big and 4 small.

Although the four small shots were not very good in the last game, Pop still chose to believe in the Spurs players in this game.

After all, the Spurs had no choice. When the Bobcats were desperately trying to shrink the basket for the threat of Duncan, if they didn't take the shot away, they couldn't unblock Duncan and the Spurs couldn't win.

Therefore, if the Spurs want to win and break the Bobcats' turtle shell, they need to take outside shots.

As for the Bobcats, the starting players for this game are Roy Hibbert, Lopez, Chen Xiao, Jimmy Butler, and Derrick Rose.

This lineup is the starting lineup of Turtle Shell, which makes Bobo heartbroken.

Indeed, the double center of Roy Hibbert and Lopez, plus the two super defensive wings of Chen Xiao and Butler, coupled with Derrick Rose's physical talent and strong defensive skills Super strong point guard.

Let's put it this way, except for outside shots, it is basically impossible for any team to hit the ball to the basket or inside the free throw line.

In the center of the court, Roy Hibbert and Tim Duncan jumped the ball. The younger and more energetic Hibbert defeated Duncan and gave the Bobcats the first offensive opportunity of the game.

Rose received Hibbert's jump ball and passed half court. Under Ginobili's interference from time to time, Rose did not call for a screen or quickly pass the half court, but steadily advanced with the ball.

"Rose is cooperating with the team's two big centers. As a player with such excellent speed and explosive power, Rose is completely different from Westbrook, who has a similar style. Rose is more calm and will not lose his calm due to the provocation of his opponent. Very smart!"

From becoming famous after playing against the Cavaliers in the playoffs last season, to becoming the most reliable superstar next to Chen Xiao in the playoffs this season, Rose's growth in the past two years has really made NBA experts and celebrities jealous.

When playing against the Bucks, NBA experts said that he and Curry were MVP-level superstars at the same level, but to be honest, those experts and celebrities still liked Rose more.

For Curry…

Curry is really strong, but he seems to have some flaws, such as defense and physical confrontation. As for offense, he is not as stable as Rose. He seems to be a crazy knife.

Therefore, despite the fact that Curry's explosive power and game influence were stronger in the last series, Rose is the one who is more favored by experts.

Now the experts in the NBA are really full of praise for Rose.

Explosive physical fitness, calmness, high football IQ, excellent skills, versatile offensive and defensive capabilities, and excellent passing ability. He is handsome and has great leadership on the court.

Let's just say this is a perfect point guard for these experts.

There are no shortcomings.

Therefore, in addition to the fact that the Bobcats will not be able to retain Rose next season, there are now many outpost scouts from NBA teams around Rose.

I have to say that Rose is indeed very enviable now.

Of course, since he is so coveted, he is also the focus of the entire NBA.

A lot of people are checking Ross right now.

In this regard, Ross simply understands.

After slowly dribbling the ball to the three-point line, Rose saw Ginobili taking a step back to defend his breakthrough. Rose did not directly make a three-pointer. Although his shooting is much better now, his stability is still not there. So strong.

After calling Lopez next to him to give him a cover, although Lopez's screen was bypassed by Ginobili.

But in order to bypass the screen, Ginobili couldn't stand in a defensive position and wait for Rose. Therefore, after Rose made a light back, he turned away from Ginobili like the wind.

Facing a breakthrough like Rose's, the other Spurs players were really facing a formidable enemy.

too fast!

Fortunately, the Spurs' lineup is a small lineup, and they can move and change defense quickly. In addition, Leonard, Prince and Ron Howard also defend very well, and their ability to shrink defense is still very strong.

Perhaps, the shrinking ability of this Spur is already considered the pinnacle of one large and four small.

However, even though the Spurs have shrunk so fast.

When Prince pulled back, he was still passed by Rose. He could only follow the lightning-like Rose to watch him challenge Duncan.

Facing Duncan's help at the basket, Rose, who was already flying in the air, did not choose to dunk, nor did he choose to dunk with a twist. Instead, he threw the basketball in his hand back, and a blue shadow came from Prince's shoulder. He flew out from behind, received Rose's pass, and riding on Duncan, he 'clinked' the basketball in his hand and dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket.

2 to 0!

The audience at the scene, even most of them Chen Xiao fans, were stunned by the Bobcats' cooperation.

In this playoffs, Chen Xiao played center and Rose played point guard. There were many wonderful coordinations. However, the coordination of Rose playing point guard and Chen Xiao playing small forward seemed no worse than when they played center and point guard.

You know, the combination of center Chen Xiao and point guard Rose was said by Barkley to be as good as the combination of OK and YD.

"sharp!"

Therefore, seeing the Bobcats' first attack on the court being so strong and such an incredible attack, Bobo on the sidelines was a little stunned.

This is really awesome.

There is really no hope of being able to prevent this cooperation between Rose and Chen Xiao.

You know, the Spurs' frontline defense is actually very strong.

At this time, Daidai, who once again became Chen Xiao's background, looked at Chen Xiao and Ross who were high-fiving in front of him, and shook his head.

No way, this is really no way.

He is really helpless.

The Bobcats' first attack boosted their morale. When the pressure was on the Bobcats, such an opening attack was necessary. Rose saw it very clearly.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao high-fived Rose, she gave Rose a hard slap with great satisfaction.

However, the Spurs are the Spurs after all, and Duncan will not be depressed at all because of the background.

The other players on the Spurs didn't have any emotional problems because Duncan was used as a backdrop at the beginning.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, the Spurs' young forward Kawhi Leonard got a pass from Duncan and hit a long two-pointer.

Leonard's shooting in the finals was very unstable. Sometimes he hit 1 in N, and sometimes he made consecutive hits.

His average shooting percentage is very high, close to 50%, and his three-point shooting percentage exceeds 40%, but his stability is indeed lacking a lot.

However, whether he is accurate or iron, the expressionless look on his face is very similar to Duncan and Brother Luo.

This made Chen Xiao quite fond of it.

Of course, the pressure on him in this game is still huge.

When Duncan needed to hit from the outside, Luo Ge must have been taken care of by Chen Xiao. Ginobili was also closely followed by Rose. The inside was so crowded that he couldn't break through. It was difficult to get rid of Rose. not easy.

In this case, Leonard appearing in the fourth position becomes very critical.

Because Lopez, who is facing him, cannot follow him very far.

He faced the least defense of any Spurs starter.

At the same time, his hitting is also the most important to the Spurs.

Only when he opens it up can the Spurs' offense be able to open up. This is indeed a huge pressure for a rookie.

but……

The Bobcats attacked. After Chen Xiao received a pass from Butler, Prince hit a mid-range shot. Immediately afterwards, Kawhi Leonard hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc without being defended.

5 to 4!

Still expressionless!

"Big heart!"

Even in such a star-studded finals, this young man seemed to be shining like a dazzling pearl.
