I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 718 Dominance!

When he and Chen Xiao were teammates before, to be honest, Xiao Zhan enjoyed it very much.

Being Chen Xiao's teammate can be said to be the happiest period of his career.

By Chen Xiao's side, Xiao Zhan can unleash his nature unbridled, and together with Chen Xiao, in order to safeguard the justice of the NBA and basketball, they challenge the invincible Nets back then.

In order to combat the Nets' peak trend of teaming up, he and Chen Xiao formed the "Justice League" together. The two wore the "Justice Cloak" of the Navy in One Piece and laughed wildly with arms akimbo. This is the current home court of the Cavaliers. The front poster of KING\u0026GOD Stadium can be said to be the logo of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At that time, Xiao Zhan was happy.

Being Chen Xiao's teammate is so nostalgic and happy.

But after parting ways with Chen Xiao, although Xiao Zhan led the Cavaliers step by step to the peak position, in the Cavaliers, he brought out a group of players such as Oden, Conley, Danny Green, Matthews Waiting for great teammates.

However, no matter how good these teammates are, Xiao Zhan feels that he is not that happy anymore.

It’s not about wins, losses and achievements.

Xiao Zhan knows that this is not because he won the championship with Chen Xiao and achieved many achievements, but he has not achieved it with others.

Not because of this.

Before, Xiao Zhan didn't know why.

But after the first quarter of the game between the American team and the Chinese team, Xiao Zhan realized it after his mentality was broken by Chen Xiao.

He finally knew why.

Because when he was teammates with Chen Xiao, he could show his truest self on the court and be what he wanted to be without restraint.

Even if in the end, this will lead to very dangerous results, it doesn't matter, because he has Chen Xiao by his side to help him carry it.

He does not need to complete the tasks that must be completed, because by Chen Xiao's side, there are no tasks that must be completed.

For example, in this game with the US team, the task he must complete is to consume Chen Xiao as much as possible.

If it cannot be completed, the team will be in crisis. He needs to complete it, and he must complete it. Therefore, when Chen Xiao flies a kite with him, his mentality is constantly changing.

If he and Chen Xiao were on the same team, he wouldn't need to complete such a task.

Even if there is the most difficult task, Chen Xiao is at the front, not him.

Now he is considered a qualified leader in the Cavaliers.

But every time he dreams back, he knows that he doesn't necessarily want to be the leader of the Cavaliers, the immovable king of Cleveland.

He does not necessarily want to take on the most difficult scoring tasks in the game. He even feels that he may prefer simple scoring, dunks, and fast breaks, rather than one-on-one singles, one-on-two singles, and Shoot.

Similarly, he also felt that he might not like to hand over all the ball rights to Conley on the court now and be the terminator himself. Even if he does not need to wake up in the middle of the night, even when he is awake and playing on the court , watching Conley control the ball and organize, he was filled with envy and wanted to get the ball back from Conley's hands.

However, this was his own choice. When he chose to separate from Chen Xiao, he had to bear all this.

Having chosen this path back then, he needed to control his nature.

Maybe, when he really becomes famous one day, he can do whatever he wants on the court, without having to consider defense, role model as a leader, tactical system, or other things. Whatever restrains him, he can do whatever he wants.

After the first quarter of the game, Xiao Zhan, whose mentality was a little broken by Chen Xiao, had a lot on his mind at this time.

Of course, you can't blame Xiao Zhan for thinking so much.

After Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan parted ways, the Cavaliers were Chen Xiao's most opponents in the playoffs. Xiao Zhan led the Cavaliers and failed every time in front of Chen Xiao.

Especially in the playoffs this season, the Cavaliers were actually very close to victory, but in the end, they still lost.

If it were you, you were in Xiao Zhan's position, or more likely, you were Xiao Zhan. In the first quarter, you were led by Chen Xiao to fly a kite and your mentality was shattered. Would you also think so much?

Now the second quarter of the game between the US team and the Chinese team is starting. Xiao Zhan is feeling a little disappointed, but Coach K, the head coach of the US team, has no time to care about this.

At this time, Chen Xiao, along with Arab League, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, and his nephew, were fighting on the court against the American team of Rose, Wade, Durant, and Aldridge.

Obviously, Chen Xiao will definitely play the full 40 minutes in this game.

The Arab League substituted in the second half of the first quarter and rested for a period of time, and the second quarter will be full.

As for the US team, Xiao Du has to play the entire game.

During the rotation in the second quarter, the Chinese team used a relatively small lineup.

Chen Xiao plays center and Arab League plays power forward. In order to deal with the small lineup of the Chinese team, the US team also has a small lineup.

If we talk about the first quarter of the game, the two teams played at a very slow pace. The Chinese team was suppressing the rhythm, but the American team was unable to break the Chinese team's rhythm, so it could only play at full capacity.

During the rotation time of the second quarter, the Chinese team's offensive speed was quite fast.

Of course, the American team is also not slow.

The two teams are still very inseparable.

Yes, inextricably linked.

In the first quarter of the game, Chen Xiao made 0 shots, but led the Chinese team to a 2-point lead 26-24. To be honest, this result made the US team very nervous.

They had laid out the tactics and style of play for so long and implemented them so hard in the first quarter. Not only did they not achieve the effect, but they were ultimately unable to defeat the Chinese team where Chen Xiao did not attack.

In the first quarter, Yao Ming, Xiaozhu, Hua Zai, Arab League and other Chinese team players made beautiful shots one by one and defeated them.

The morale of the Chinese team players in the first quarter was quite shocking.

In the second quarter, the morale of the three role players, Sun Yue, the nephew, and Wang Shipeng, who hit the buzzer-beater in the first quarter, was also extremely high.

They have sufficient physical strength and high morale. At the same time, although they are not that strong, they are all players with NBA level strength.

They are capable of breaking out against the US team in the Olympics.

It can be said that in this game, everyone on the Chinese team seemed to be playing the best performance of their careers.

For Chen Xiao, the first half was the most magical time for his teammates.

Because in the first half, they were at their strongest.

Playing against the U.S. team is very difficult, you will get tired very quickly, and your physical strength will be consumed very quickly. I will not explain why. Everyone knows that when facing the high-intensity pressing defense of the U.S. team with unlimited rotation, your physical strength will decrease. It's strange to be unhappy.

Therefore, when the players of the Chinese team are in the best condition, it is when they have sufficient physical strength in the first half.

In the second half, their form will plummet.

Therefore, in the first quarter, Chen Xiao was guiding the team's starting players to attack.

In the rotation stage of the second quarter, Chen Xiao was guiding the team's rotation substitutes to score.

Of course, the Chinese team's substitute players in the second quarter are definitely not as strong as the starters, so it is impossible for Chen Xiao to not attack like he did in the first quarter.

However, even so, Chen Xiao's consumption in the second quarter was very small visible to the naked eye.

Especially in the second quarter, although Chen Xiao played as a center, he was actually a center on the offensive end and a power forward on the defensive end. The Arab League was watching at the basket, while Chen Xiao was assisting in defense.

Ah Lian actually had a harder time playing, but Chen Xiao was not that tired. After all, it was really easy for him to play center on the offensive end.

Because the US team couldn't find a spot where Chen Xiao could play center.

On the offensive end, Chen Xiao played one-on-one under the basket. No matter whether it was Ade, Durant, Chris Bosh, Oden, or James who was replaced later, they could not guard against Chen Xiao's amazing performance. His moves around the basket and his incredible low post fadeaway jump shot.

"The second quarter of Wonder Boy seemed like a combination of Olajuwon and Jordan!"

Speaking of which, you may find it incredible that with Chen Xiao at the basket, Adelaide's single defense effect is even the best.

This is not because Ade is a former teammate of Chen Xiao and is familiar with Chen Xiao. Xiao Zhan is also a former teammate of Chen Xiao.

The reason for this is that Ade is the only one among these players who does not like to jump so much.

Just like in history, Nowitzki penetrated the entire league by himself in 2011.

Chen Xiao played at the center position in this game, and his style of play really sounded a bit like Nowitzki.

The shooting was so good that even when the two of them leaned back under the basket, they seemed to be the same golden rooster.

Faced with Chen Xiao like this, of course there is no way to defend alone, and in the end he can only attack from a flank.

And this gives opportunities to teammates like Chen Xiao who are in excellent condition.

Then something interesting happened.

Because Yao Ming played a full game in the first quarter, Yao Ming needed a lot of rest time in the second quarter.

During Yao Ming's rest period, whether the American team was in the rotation or the starting lineup, it was only 50-50 against the Chinese team led by Chen Xiao.

With three minutes left in the second quarter, when Yao Ming came up again, the score on the court was that the Chinese team was only two points behind, and the ball was still in the hands of the Chinese team.

Obviously, this result is definitely a pretty good result for the Chinese team.

Yao Ming got a lot of rest time, but Chen Xiao was also not consumed a lot.

As the two Optimus Primes of the Chinese team, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming both got a very good rest.

Moreover, in the second half of the second quarter, after Yao Ming came up, the Chinese team immediately took the initiative in the game, and the two-point deficit disappeared in an instant.

Even at the end of the half, the Chinese team led by 4 points 56 to 52.

So much so that at the end of the game, Barkley, who was broadcasting the game live for the US team, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wonderboy's dominance is too strong, the Chinese team's dominance is too strong, everything is under their control." Among them!"

O'Neal, who was next to him, immediately nodded in agreement: "In the first half, I only saw how a team with a strong inside advantage completely controlled the game. KD scored 22 points in the first half. His The performance was very good, but the U.S. team's inside disadvantage was too great. At the same time, the other players of the Chinese team were in great shape. After halftime of the game, all 12 players of the Chinese team scored, and this was also Made history in the Olympic finals.”

"The Chinese team in the first half was a magical Chinese team. They had the entire team of an invincible team, the most dominant superstar, and role players who were in great shape. They had it all."

"With the failure of the strategy of consuming Wonder Boy and Yao Ming in the first half, the US team's game in the second half will become extremely difficult. No one will believe that Wonder Boy will be as Buddhist in the second half as he was in the first half."

Chen Xiao's performance in the first half was indeed visibly Buddhist, but his first half statistics were anything but Buddhist, with 4 of 5, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 11 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds. 2 steals and 2 blocks.

I filled up my statistics in half the game, and it was very full.

Of course, even if Chen Xiao's statistics in the first half were already very good, neither Barkley nor O'Neal thought that Chen Xiao would exert his strength in the first half.

Coach K didn’t think so either.

So during the halftime break, the American talent team in the studio were constantly discussing the first half of the game and debating the performance of the two teams in the first half of the game.

One of the words of Chris Webber is very impressive: "In this Olympics, we clearly have a player like KD who can compare with Chen in FIBA ​​scoring, but judging from the half-game situation, Our disadvantage this year seems to be greater than four years ago. This is strange. Is KD not good enough? I am convinced that he is the strongest FIBA ​​killer in the history of the US team. Therefore, the US team is not getting weaker, but Yes, this Chinese team is too strong!"

"If there is no miracle in the second half, it will be difficult for the US team to defeat the Chinese team led by Yao Ming and Chen Xiao who are not at all exhausted."

After Chris Webber finished speaking, Pippen, who was next to him, seemed to be very confident and desperate in retorting: "Maybe, we can expect a miracle. I don't believe that the role players of the Chinese team can be so good in the second half. I don't believe that all the players will be so good." The world knows that when Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are going to attack wildly in the second half, the U.S. team will be unprepared."

What Mr. Pi Er said is indeed not a complete bully.

It still makes sense. The whole world knows that the Chinese team delayed the first half just to attack Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in the second half. This is a bright sign.

Can Team USA really put up no resistance at all?

Is it true that the American team can’t even win against the well-known Chinese team?

If this is really the case, then how strong is the dominance of this Chinese team?

At the beginning of the third quarter, at the North Greenwich Stadium in London, the Chinese team attacked first. Under Ron Howard's full-court press, Hua Zai used the cover of his teammates to pass the half-time, and immediately hit the ball into Chen Xiao's hands. .

Chen Xiao, who received the ball at the top of the arc, faced Xiao Zhan's pressing defense. After calling Yao Ming's screen to block Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao faced Oden who was heavily defensive in front of him. He hesitated at the moment when Oden couldn't catch up. In the meantime, Chen Xiao was already standing tall outside the three-point line.

That agile takeoff.

That graceful gesture in the air.

That dizzying throwback.

That perfect shot!

A swipe!

Three point hit!

59 to 52!

In the silent Tiantuan studio, Mr. Pi's mouth was so wide that he could stuff at least three eggs into it.

He's really a show-stopper, and you can't stop his dominance!
