I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Warriors were not very successful in several preseason games this season. They won 2 of the 8 preseason games before the season and lost six of them.

Throughout the preseason, the biggest highlight of the Warriors was even Chen Xiao accepting a one-on-one challenge from the opposing team before the game. It has to be said that many players are now following suit and challenging Chen Xiao.

Who made chasing hot spots a common hobby for people all over the world?

NBA players are human beings too.

Moreover, after a duel with Chen Xiao, it was such a joy to show off on Twitter or Facebook or other social media that he and his teammates defeated Chen Xiao.

All players in the NBA have accepted the fact that the entire team combined cannot beat Chen Xiao in one-on-one matches.

Therefore, for all current NBA players, the one-on-one duel with Chen Xiao is no longer about winning, but about being like the opponents of the Dream Team back then. The game is fake and the photo is real.

Of course, there are some people who definitely want to defeat Chen Xiao.

Although defeating Chen Xiao by a group of people didn't seem like a big deal before, now, it can really be regarded as making history.

I have to say, this is truly a magical time.

According to Barkley: "I never dared to imagine that a group of people would receive praise for defeating one person in a duel. What made me even more surprised was that a group of NBA players would never defeat an NBA player. Win!"

After Barkley finished speaking in the Tiantuan studio, Pippen joked next to him: "I have said before that Jordan's one-on-one ability is vulnerable in front of Chen, but Chen beat me in front of me in his rookie season. With the people on my team, I think he has accepted enough duels now. Perhaps, he can now refuse other people's duels, seal this undefeated legend here, and let it become an eternal legend. .”

"I understand Chen's personality. He is not a shrinking person. He will accept whatever comes his way. Even if he shrinks, it will be someone else, not him. As long as there is a challenger, he will not refuse."

O'Neal said as if he knew Chen Xiao very well. Pi Er next to him was very contemptuous. Pi Er felt that although he was not a good person, compared with hypocrites like O'Neal, he was still more noble.

Isn't it because he wants to mess with Chen Xiao's mentality? As soon as O'Neal said this, reporters must have flocked to ask Chen Xiao: "Chen, will you stop competing with others in such a one-on-one duel because you are afraid of failure next time? O'Neill said, you will definitely not refuse."

Is this something humans do?

In front of the greatest miracle in the history of basketball, even if he had a grudge against Chen Xiao and didn't like Chen Xiao, he wouldn't act so cynically.

He doesn't like Chen Xiao or Jordan. This is something that the whole world knows and he never hides it.

But I hate this guy O'Neal so much in my heart that I keep talking about him as if I have a good relationship with him.

This kind of person who talks about being a brother but has a dark gun behind his back is so despising.

Of course, when O'Neal was causing trouble at this time, he naturally didn't expect that Mr. Pi next to him would have such a big opinion on him.

O'Neill felt that he had already hidden it.

It can not only play with Chen Xiao's mentality, but also make people feel that he cares about Chen Xiao. It's so disgusting.

I have to say that Mr. Pi’s prediction was still correct.

After O'Neill said this, Chen Xiao was asked if he would continue such a one-on-one duel.

Moreover, the reporter also told Chen Xiao what O'Neal said.

"I will not refuse. Since you all say that I am the king of duels and the strongest, then I will never refuse other people's duel applications, whether it is one, two, three, four or more. Maybe one day when I refuse such a one-on-one challenge from others, you can safely and boldly say on the front page that that arrogant Chinese has finally fallen from the altar and is no longer the strongest."

I have to say that Chen Xiao's answer was so domineering that even people like Mr. Pi who didn't like him were giving thumbs up like crazy.

"Wonderboy is more refreshing than Michael Jordan. Although I don't like him, his straightforwardness makes people think that he is the most manly player in the NBA. As a player recognized as the strongest player in the history of personal ability, he needs to match such domineering power and the size of a person. , determines his achievements, which is one of the reasons why I think he is better than Michael Jordan, and his answer did not disappoint me."

Even a normal Xiaohei like Mr. Pi said this, which shows how highly praised Chen Xiao's answer was.

Of course, after Chen Xiao said this, many players who had not played against the Warriors in the preseason were really eager to try and wait to play against the Warriors in the regular season.

The preseason is over, and the regular season is about to begin. The entire NBA is not focusing on the program battle between the Bobcats and the Spurs, nor is it who can become the NBA MVP next season or the number one regular season player. What everyone cares about now is actually Chen Xiao. pre-game duel.

I have to say, this is really amazing.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao stated that he would accept all heads-up applications, the season ticket sales of all 30 teams in the NBA soared.

Obviously, everyone knows why.

Just like when Jordan was preparing to retire, touring the United States, and the entire league went crazy.

Chen Xiao's national one-on-one performance in the new season made fans even crazier than Jordan's national tour that year.

Of course, it is also crazier than Curry's three-point performance in the United States that season in history.

And just when Chen Xiao's one-on-one performance in the new season was being hyped throughout the league, the Warriors encountered some troubles.

The preseason is not that important to any NBA team. After all, the record does not count towards the regular season.

But by the same token, preseason games aren't really unimportant.

Some things that coaches practice still need to be seen by the head coach in the preseason.

When Steve Kerr left the Bobcats to become the head coach of the Warriors, he didn't want to be the mascot of the Warriors.

Steve Kerr came here with a pursuit.

He hopes to build the system he dreams of and become a head coach like a godfather.

Therefore, he was very aggressive in the team's tactical drills.

Moreover, with Chen Xiao, the only big shot in the team, standing by his side to hold him back, no one in the team could oppose him.

Don't think that NBA players all like to play tactics.

Just look at how many Curry fans in history hate Cole's tactical system.

Even the fans don't like the tactics of their stars, let alone the NBA stars themselves.

Think about it for yourselves. Suppose that your favorite star has very good losing data and very bad winning data. Which one would you choose?

Of course having good winning numbers is the best.

But if it can't be done, it is estimated that most fans hope that their favorite star will have excellent losing statistics in a game.

The fans are like this, how could the players not be like this?

Historically, Lao Zhan has made his choice with his actions. It doesn't matter if he loses, the data is beautiful, and I am equally happy.

Even if the whole world says that I dare to play hard in garbage time, even if the whole world laughs at me for going for a layup when I want a three-pointer, it doesn't matter. Ten years later, who will still remember so many games, who will still remember so much in one game. Details, finally, when fans and experts opened the game data, oh wow, although the Lakers lost, James was not guilty. This data is simply unspeakable.

To be honest, Lao Zhan is already considered a player in the early stages of NBA professionalism.

Even Lao James is like this. You can imagine how many players in the NBA have statistics that are more important than victory.

Let's put it this way, for most players in the NBA, statistics are more important than record.

A superstar like Curry who can sacrifice so many years of being quiet and noisy for the team's tactical needs, and can be manipulated and transformed by the head coach at will, is even unique in the NBA.

In the NBA, most head coaches serve the team's superstars. NBA head coaches are often just waiters, and the stars are the gods.

The Warriors team that Chen Xiao is currently on is different from all the teams he has been in before.

In the Nets, Kevin has been in charge of the team for many years. The team's atmosphere does not need to be reformed. Keith has already shaped the team culture in which everyone competes for the championship.

In the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers were also a group of young people. They looked exactly the same as the current Warriors, but in fact, they were completely different.

Lao Zhan is a local. He has faith and pursuit in the Cavaliers. He entered the NBA just to make Cleveland great and win the national championship.

So he is willing to sacrifice, while other Cavaliers players, although they want data, are not big enough.

The same was true in the Bobcats. Except for Chen Xiao, there were no big-name young people in the team at that time, and even the small guns were considered average at the time.

But the current Warriors have Deng Mei and Beal, the two No. 1 picks in the NBA this year. You say, don't the two of them want to compete for this year's Rookie of the Year and put up good statistics?

There is also Klay Thompson. He has already emerged last season. Klay's current position is no worse than that of the small cannon back then, and his evaluation is much better than that of the small cannon. Therefore, his positioning of himself is naturally much higher than that of the small cannon. Small cannon.

At that time, Xiaopao wanted to prove himself with victory, so he was willing to sacrifice himself.

But Clay has no such need.

And then, you say, how does Cole do his job?

The Bobcats' starting lineup for the preseason is Lopez, Nong Mei, Chen Xiao, Clay and Beal.

Of the five starters, all three want to improve their own statistics. It is best if they can have more firing rights and attack when they have the opportunity. If there is no chance, they have to dribble to attack when they create opportunities. As for Cole's approach Chuanqie, get out of here, as far away as you can.

Klay is criticized here. He can obviously be a very capable shooter, but Klay loves to dribble the ball himself. However, his dribbling ability is average, which makes Cole's teeth itch.

Although Clay didn't say to tell Cole to get lost, his performance on the court almost meant that.

When holding the ball, he just darts and burps without a passing key.

When he was not holding the ball, when he saw Chen Xiao holding the ball, he immediately ran over and rushed with his teammates to play a pick-and-roll with Chen Xiao.

Even the second point made Cole even more unhappy.

When you hold the ball, you like to rush, don't pass the ball, and attack without a chance. I tolerate this. It's just a point. I just don't let you hold the ball as much. The team doesn't give you many opportunities to hold the ball.

But Chen Xiao holds the ball a lot. When Chen Xiao holds the ball in a high position, according to Cole's idea, Chen Xiao will deal the cards and other outside players will move.

If you go to Chen Xiao and play pick-and-roll with Chen Xiao, this will destroy the team's tactical system.

When Bill saw you like this, could he not follow you and go to Chen Xiao?

Both Bill and Clay have gone, and the thick eyebrows are still acting as a wall, so let's go with them.

How can you ask Cole to pass and cut?

Just let Chen Xiao take turns playing pick-and-roll with the Warriors players. How simple.

But will this work?

This is not possible!

If this is the case, there is no need for him to come to the Warriors to be the head coach. A dog can do such a head coach, and there is no need for him to discipline someone.

Therefore, in this preseason, the team lost six of eight games, but it made Cole very angry. It was not the record, but purely the content of the game.

These star young people on the team are really independent. Not only do they want statistics, but they also want to steal the second-in-command role next to Chen Xiao.

In fact, Chen Xiao has not encountered this before in the Bobcats, Cavaliers and Nets.

Chen Xiao of the Nets was originally the second in charge.

The Cavaliers and Bobcats, the second-in-command is very stable, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Pao, and after Xiao Pao is Roy. Later, Stoudemire came and caused chaos for a season, and then it became stable again.

But in the Warriors, this is really a time of great competition.

Everyone knows that as long as Chen Xiao is stuck in the second-in-command position, he will at least be an All-Star in the future.

This is really no joke.

Look at Xiao Zhan, Xiao Pao, Roy, and Rose, among the second-in-commands around Chen Xiao, the one with the lowest achievement is Roy. No matter how low his achievement is, Roy is still a superstar and all-star.

As for the other three, they are all super giants and MVP-level players.

"Chen, I think we should choose a player to focus on training at this time. If we let them grab it, it will be very difficult for the team now."

In fact, it's not that the team has a hard time handling it, it's that someone else has a hard time handling it.

In fact, for Chen Xiao, he is happy to see the young people on the team showing their wolfish nature and motivating each other.

They compete with each other in games and compete with each other in training.

All Kerr saw was Clay's toxic selfishness on the court.

But I didn’t see that Clay hadn’t been to a nightclub to drink beer for almost a month.

For young people, as long as their strength can improve, it doesn't matter if they are independent. Once their strength improves, they don't have to be independent, just like Olajuwon. But if your strength cannot improve, you will not be independent in the future, and your strength will be the same.

"Steve, I know, each of us wants to prove ourselves, and I also want to win the championship right away, but we can't challenge human nature or the laws of basketball. I can afford to wait, and I think you can afford to wait, too. ."

Chen Xiao's answer made Cole open his mouth in shock for the first time.

But soon, the smart man Cole nodded with a wry smile.

"Chen, being able to meet you is the greatest luck in their lives."

Opportunities for growth in the NBA and around superstars are not available to everyone.

This is Chen Xiao's selflessness, and this is also Chen Xiao's appreciation.

He is also never afraid of the growth and strength of his teammates.

Because it is definitely not as strong as him.
