I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao's career plan to develop inside is a matter of the future, but now, there is no doubt that the most important thing is the tiebreaker with the Bucks.

On June 19, 2016, three days after the end of G6, the tiebreaker between the Warriors and Bucks started on time at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Golden State.

Before the start of this game, the head coaches of both teams, Ray Allen and Cole, both delivered exciting speeches in the locker room. The leaders of both teams conveyed their message to their comrades in the locker room. They are determined to win. For such a game, for such two teams, they are striving to do their best. In such a game, such a life and death battle between these two teams. , it’s hard for you to expect your opponent to make mistakes on their own initiative.

Therefore, Chen Xiao mentioned it very clearly in his speech: "The only one we can rely on in this game is ourselves. Before the game starts, we need to give up all luck and all weakness. We must start from the beginning, We must be clear that how well we perform in the game determines the final result of our game and our season. I hope that after this game is over, none of us will have regrets. "

In Chen Xiao's career, this is the first time he has experienced a tiebreaker in the finals. Therefore, this is also the first time he has made such a decisive speech in the finals. It can only be said that this year's finals are really creative. This was the first time in Chen Xiao’s career.

At the same time, the impact on Chen Xiao's career is indeed very large.

When Chen Xiao was training Durant and Curry with Jordan, he thought that the two of them would be terrible when they grew up, but Chen Xiao still didn't expect that they would be so terrible when they grew up.

Obviously, Jordan Joe, the boss who was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, did not expect it.

However, Chen Xiao has never regretted creating such a pair of powerful enemies for his career.

Just like what he said to James when he left the Cavaliers: "If we meet in the finals in the future and you defeat me, I will be the first to applaud you!"

If the final result of this finals was that the two young people he trained really defeated him, Chen Xiao would be the first to applaud them.

Chen Xiao will say when the time comes: "This is a victory for basketball!"

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Bucks finally defeat the Warriors in this game.

But now, everything has not started yet.

On the court, amidst the deafening cheers and shouts of the Warriors fans, all ten starting players of the Warriors and Bucks stood on the court.

For the Bucks playing away, their starting players are Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Ariza and Iguodala.

This is the same starting lineup as the last game, Ray Allen's secret weapon for the Bucks.

And their super guard, Curry, was sitting on the bench and ready for action.

The experts and fans in front of the TV had no doubts about the Bucks' starting lineup in this game. That was it. What really made them look forward to and curious about was the Warriors' starting lineup, and whether Cole would still be so stubborn.

Obviously, at this moment of life and death, Cole gave up the system he had built over the years.

The starting players for the Warriors in this game are center Chen Xiao, power forward Nong Mei, small forward Matt Barnes, shooting guard Clay, and point guard Beal.

In fact, many people predicted that Cole would give up Jokic, a big center who obviously suffered a disadvantage in running against the five forwards in this game. But what these people couldn't predict was who would occupy Jokic's space. This starting position.

With the departures of Livingston, Ibaka and Dragic, there are only players left who can be on the starting line in such an intense game and who are outside players with mobility and fighting ability. Curry, Barnes, Novak, Ding Yanyuhang, Norman Powell, Devin Booker.

Norman Powell and Devin Booker are rookies, and it would be too risky to bring them up at this time.

Although Novak and Ding Yanyuhang are experienced, their defense is likely to have problems.

Although Curry's offense is sufficient, his height and physique are too disadvantaged against the Bucks' five forwards.

As for Barnes, in fact, Barnes also has his own problems, that is, he has not played in the starting lineup for a long, long time in his career, and has not taken on an important task for a long, long time. Moreover, he is 36 years old this year.

Therefore, after some discussions among these experts, they were surprised to find that during the regular season, the Warriors had a very deep lineup. In fact, when the system was broken and changes were needed, the lineup was not that thick. deep.

Therefore, the Warriors, who were originally considered to be very dangerous in this game, became even more dangerous.

As a result, before the game, the Bucks' probability of winning the championship increased from 70% to 80%.

The Bucks are even more optimistic.

The Warriors players didn't care about this, because before the tiebreaker, the Warriors players took the initiative to shut down all outside voices. Except for Chen Xiao, who would come out for interviews, other players did not go online or speak out.

This is not a decision made by Kerr and the Warriors but an active decision by other Warriors players.

They want to put all their thoughts on the court.

In the center of the court, Nong Mei and Antetokounmpo jumped up almost at the same time. In the end, Nong Mei once again won the first attack opportunity of the game for the Warriors.

Because the Warriors' style of play has completely changed in this game.

Therefore, Bill, who received the jump ball, was not just responsible for dribbling the ball across the half court to find Jokic as usual. He just acted as a dribbling defender.

This time, Bill needs to make some organizational decisions and authority based on Chen Xiao's position.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was standing under the basket this time, Bill saw no other Warriors player in his eyes. After protecting the ball from Iguodala's press, he quickly swung the basketball in his hand to the basket, where Green was already stuck. Chen Xiao wants to live in a location.

In the Warriors' first attack, Chen Xiao took the initiative to play Green, the best defensive player in the NBA this year, in the low post!

No one in the Bucks was surprised by the Warriors' first offensive choice.

In fact, just like those experts who studied the Warriors' lineup and found that when the Warriors gave up their own system, there would be a lack of thickness in the lineup. How could the Bucks, as the Warriors' opponent, not know this?

Let's put it this way, now, the whole world knows that the Warriors can only count on Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao can only save the Warriors by hitting the basket.

Neither the Warriors nor Chen Xiao have a choice!

The Warriors' first offense took place under such circumstances.

Faced with Chen Xiao's strong attack from the basket, Chasing Dream Green knew himself and the enemy, was well prepared and confident.

So even though his strength and height are slightly inferior to Chen Xiao's, and his confrontation under the basket is also slightly inferior to Chen Xiao's, he still relied on his focus, bravery and defensive skills of dancing on the foul line to prevent Chen Xiao's turn around the basket.

On the court, Dream Green, who was blocking Chen Xiao's turn, couldn't help but said to Chen Xiao passionately: "God, I am your wall of sighs!"

Dream Chasing Green had just finished speaking...

Chen Xiao took off right in front of him, popped up, turned over, and leaned back!

Facing Dream Green's long arms, Chen Xiao threw the basketball in his hand!

This is a very tough attack!

Dream Green did not lose his defensive position.

Dream Green's wingspan of 2.17 meters is also outstanding enough.

And there is nothing to say about Dream Green's defensive ability.

but!

A swipe!

The basketball drew a wonderful arc and fell into the net hollowly!

"Jordan!"

During the Warriors' first attack in this game, TNT commentator Maizi stood up excitedly and shouted.

There is no way, anyone who saw Chen Xiao's attack just now will think of this name.

In fact, in the entire history of the league, only Jordan and Chen Xiao can do it perfectly.

Even, Jordan said, Chen Xiao is more perfect than him because...

"If it were me, this offense would definitely be greatly interfered with by Dream Green."

In the stands, Jordan said very seriously.

Dream Green is the same as him, 1.98 meters tall. Dream Green's wingspan is only 1 centimeter shorter than him, 2.17 meters.

As for Chen Xiao, his height is 2.01 meters and his wingspan is 2.21 meters.

He is 3 centimeters taller than them, and his wingspan is 3-4 centimeters longer than them. It's a subtle difference, but when added up, it's a lot.

Especially for players like him and Chen Xiao who have trained Qiao's back to the peak, this advantage is enough for them to make many attempts.

At the very least, for Chen Xiao, his strength is stronger than Zhui Meng, his confrontation is better than Zhui Dream, his height and wingspan are better than Zhui Dream, and his offensive skills are the best in history. There is no reason why he can't defeat Zhui Meng. The shortest Defensive Player of the Year center in league history.

Therefore, Jordan can very well understand Chen Xiao's approach of not picking and rolling and directly picking Green.

In fact, pick-and-roll is also a method for the Bucks' defensive strategy.

It's just obvious that Chen Xiao doesn't want his teammates to think that he chose to dodge from the beginning. Even if he can hit, it will damage morale.

How is it like now, when Chen Xiao faced the Bucks' strongest defender, Chai Meng, and scored such an attack at the basket? The morale of the Warriors was greatly boosted.

But Chai Meng Green, who was so passionate in front of Chen Xiao just now, now looked shocked and embarrassed.

He is indeed very shocked now. He really didn't expect that his strong defense would actually seem like air to Chen Xiao?

Chen Xiao's eyes when he defended him just now, there was really no shadow of him in his eyes, as if he, the best defensive player, was just air!

However, such contempt will naturally not affect Green, and such an offense will also not affect Ray Allen's arrangement.

"There is absolutely no way he can play a whole game with such a difficult offense!"

This kind of offense is very difficult for the audience, even for Jordan, this kind of offense is also very difficult.

But for Chen Xiao, is such an offense really difficult?

It's definitely difficult, and beating Dream Green is definitely much harder than beating Durant.

but……

Is it really as difficult as imagined to play one-on-one against a player who is not as tall as you, who is not as good as you in confrontation, and whose skills are not as good as yours...

Jordan saw it.

But not everyone is Jordan.

Ray Allen is not Jordan, and at the same time, just like Chen Xiao and the Warriors have no choice, Ray Allen has no choice.

When Chen Xiao and the Warriors played like this, he could only believe in Dream Green.

Just like after the Bucks played like that, the Warriors could only give up their own system like Jokic.

What a pair of conjugated opponents!

And this is why this finals is so anxious and uncertain.

On the court, it was the Bucks' turn to attack.

Because Chen Xiao scored the first attack, they also lost the opportunity to grab rebounds and launch a fast break counterattack.

And Dreaming Green dribbled the ball through half court, and when he was standing outside the three-point line and preparing to direct traffic, he saw Matt Barnes, who was defending him in front, put him three meters away. Dreaming Green felt as if he was being caught. As insulting, the backhand was a three-point shot.

A swipe!

Three point hit!

3 to 2!

The crisp sound of basketball brushing against the net shocked even Green himself and Ray Allen on the sidelines.

In the first six games of this finals, Green's three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%...

Ray Allen has given up chasing Green's three-pointer.

Chasing Dream Green himself never thought he would be able to score this time. He made the move this time mainly out of anger. He is not a weakling!

But, I didn’t expect that I got hit!

Could it be that in this game, I was finally favored by God again?

Chen Xiao patted Barnes on the shoulder to express encouragement. There was no problem with Barnes' defense. The Warriors also defended Green this way before.

And soon, Dream Chaser Green felt what it means to be favored by God.

The Warriors attacked again. Chen Xiao received a pass from Bill outside the three-point line. Dream Green chased directly outside the three-point line and defended Chen Xiao very strongly, sticking to Chen Xiao's body.

Chasing Dream Green is not worried at all that there will be no one behind him after Chen Xiao breaks through.

Behind him are Antetokounmpo, Durant, Ariza, and Iguodala. Will he worry about not having teammates to fill in for him?

This is also what other Bucks players are thinking about when they defend strongly on the outside.

And this is also the strength of the Bucks' chain defense, which is airtight and has no flaws!

And Chen Xiao, will he break through?

Of course not!

After Chen Xiao used strength and confrontation to squeeze away Dream Chasing Green's defense, he quickly retreated to put distance between him and Green.

Faced with Chen Xiao taking one step beyond the three-point line, Green continued to keep up without any doubt.

Let's put it this way, the three players with the strongest long-range three-pointers in NBA history are Ray Allen, Chen Xiao and Curry!

And when Dream Green chased him out, the Bucks' entire chain was stretched to the extreme.

Dreamcatcher Green stands out!

At the same time, the whole world has seen how magical and incredible Chen Xiao's one-on-one singles is in a closed space without interference from others.

transport! transport! transport!

With continuous rhythm changes and feints, Chen Xiao was like a space magician, wiping Dream Chasing Green clean!

Dream Chaser Green couldn't even catch Chen Xiao!

In the end, Dream Chaser Green looked at Chen Xiao who was shooting from outside the three-point line, and could only chase after him from behind to block the shot in despair!

As the best defensive player, Dream Green certainly knows that such chasing and blocking effects are very limited!

So, this is a very desperate defense!

What makes Dream Chasing Green even more desperate!

After Chen Xiao took off and blocked him, he was actually in the air, following his direction, drifting and shooting the basketball in his hand!

The basketball thrown by Chen Xiao was flying in the air!

And Chen Xiao and Dream Chaser Green collided in the air!

Bang!

Dream Chaser Green was knocked flying in the air and fell to the ground!

Dream Chasing Green, who fell to the ground, soon heard the whistle from the referee next to him and the gesture of a three-point foul.

This was an undisputed three-point foul, and he could only admit it.

only……

A swipe!

When the sound of a basketball being brushed against the net reached his ears, Green's strong heart couldn't help but clenched tightly, and his eyes were as big as copper bells as he looked at Chen Xiao beside him.

Can this be entered? !

Is this the strength of God? !

I, the best defensive player in the new division, was so embarrassed in front of him!

Chen Xiao did not look at Dream Green, who was sitting on the ground. Instead, he glanced at his old rival Ray Allen on the sidelines and walked to the free throw line.

Extra penalty hit, 3+1 score!

6 to 3!

The moment Chen Xiaojia hit the free throw, the audience roared with deafening "God!" 'Voice.

At this time, even Maizi, Weber, and commentators from various countries were expressing their praise for Chen Xiao's magical attack in various languages.

At the same time, he was also ridiculing Green's embarrassment as the best defensive player.

Even Maizi, who has been blaming the sky and the earth recently, shouted directly: "There is no doubt that God's attack made Dream Green become the most embarrassing best defensive player in NBA history!

Dream Green's matchup with Chen Xiao will become a classic like Tyronn Lue and Iverson back then! "

"Ray Allen, can he really trust Dream Green and God one on one now?"
