I’m Really Playing Basketball

Can Chen Xiao really withstand such wave after wave of attacks from Warriors players?

Chen Xiao, who played all the games in the first half, did not rest for a second in this game. This game was almost 5x5 in the first half, scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks were all perfect. In the third quarter, could Chen Xiao, the team's tallest player, really be able to withstand the Warriors' stranglehold that McGrady called a 'god-killing'?

After the start of the third quarter, the hearts of the Warriors fans at the scene were clenched.

Although Antetokounmpo's first impact was blocked again by Chen Xiao, the Warriors fans at the scene were still worried after a burst of cheers.

Even if it was the Warriors' turn to attack next, Chen Xiao received a pass from Bill under the basket, turned over and hit Green again, chasing the score of the game to 65 to 72. The Warriors' Fans are still very worried.

Even more worried.

Because, on offense and defense in the third quarter, Chen Xiao showed the same things as in the first half. Even if he knew that the Bucks would attack him crazily on the offensive end, he was not prepared to put most of his energy on the defensive end. It is still a matter of offense and defense.

"God's choice is crazy!"

"But it's also very helpless, because the Warriors are falling behind now, and facing the Bucks' starting defense, the only player who can stabilize the offense and have the ability to chase points is God!"

Just like Maizi said, when both sides are starting, Nong Mei, Clay, Beal, and Barnes, their offense is not that stable.

Even if they want to score, they still need Chen Xiao's cooperation, such as Chen Xiao's sudden score, Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll with them, etc.

In fact, perhaps the only time Chen Xiao can rest is when Curry plays. Although the Bucks' offense is stronger, the defense has loopholes, and other Warriors players have opportunities.

During the period when Curry is not playing, Chen Xiao still needs to be on offense and defense no matter how tired he is.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's performance in this game was really amazing, especially in the third quarter!

Because in the third quarter, Ray Allen is also a ruthless person. Curry sat underneath for the entire quarter. During the entire third quarter, the Bucks' five starting forwards were all playing the game.

This is the rhythm that will torture Chen Xiao to death!

Chen Xiao is indeed very tired. Even Chen Xiao with 100 stamina is still visibly tired at this time!

Historically, in the 2018 Finals, facing the Warriors' four great catchers, James relied on giving up defense to maintain his offense.

In the end, it lasted until overtime.

I have to say that Lao Zhan was like a god in that scene.

Facing this stag, Chen Xiao was definitely more tired and more magical than Lao Zhan in that game.

He was facing Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Iguodala and Ariza at this time!

Fighting against these five people every round!

In this situation, not only did he stand still in the end, but he even tortured the Bucks' forwards to exhaustion.

Especially Antetokounmpo, who was tasked with attacking Chen Xiao in the third quarter. This young striker, at the end of the third quarter, his tired legs were visibly shaking.

And what's even more amazing is that throughout the third quarter, the Warriors actually scored 30 to 24 in a single quarter against the Bucks!

Chen Xiao not only stood still and did not fall, but in the third quarter, when the Bucks did not play Curry and sacrificed their own scoring to focus on consuming him, he led the team to catch up with 6 points in a single quarter!

Facing the Bucks' god-killing tactics, Chen Xiao was not knocked down, but instead turned the crisis into a turning point.

At the end of the three quarters, the Warriors, who were originally 9 points behind 63-72 at halftime, were now 93-96, only 3 points behind!

Obviously, compared with the huge score difference of 9 points, the score difference of 3 points is not very big.

Therefore, at the end of the third quarter, looking at Chen Xiao who was sweating and panting heavily, but his eyes were still determined. To be honest, at this time, whether it was the Warriors fans at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, or the experts, they were all shocked. .

Especially seeing Chen Xiao's data after the third quarter.

Throughout the third quarter, Chen Xiao made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks in a single quarter!

After three quarters of the game, Chen Xiao's statistics were 51 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 11 blocks!

Chen Xiao is the second player in NBA history to complete a quadruple-double after Duncan. He is also the first player in NBA history to complete a quadruple-double in the Finals. He is also the first player in NBA history to complete a quadruple-double in just three quarters. The player who completed a quadruple-double!

Therefore, at the end of the third quarter, Maizi, Chris Webber, Zhang Lili, teacher Xiao Su, or commentators from other countries were all talking about the game like crazy. Xiao's performance and data.

Jordan, who was on the sidelines, looked at Chen Xiao on the court with respect in his eyes.

"He really used his magic to fight for the Warriors' life!"

Why did Jordan say that?

Because obviously, in order to defeat Chen Xiao, the Bucks gave up their offense in the third quarter and sacrificed the team's rhythm.

Let's put it this way, in the third quarter, the Bucks' five forwards accompanied Chen Xiao and played with high intensity for 12 minutes.

These five forwards of the Bucks, are they iron men?

Obviously, this is not the case!

But what about the Warriors?

In order to kill the gods, the Bucks disrupted their rotation and rhythm, but the Warriors, supported by Chen Xiao, had a normal rotation!

This made the Bucks very embarrassed in the fourth quarter.

Logically speaking, in the fourth quarter, the Bucks should have a decisive battle with all main players. However, if it is really a decisive battle with all main players and Curry replaces Ariza, then the remaining four teams will have to play for 24 consecutive minutes in the starting lineup. Can their physical fitness and condition allow them to maintain the required condition for a decisive battle?

It's like playing a game. When your tank can withstand the opponent's crazy output, your chance will come.

And that's the Warriors' chance in this game.

Although the Bucks are most likely to win this game, the Bucks' winning probability has dropped from 80% to 60%!

"Ray Allen wants to beat Chen so much!"

"Ray Allen is too afraid of Chen!"

Jordan did not comment on whether Ray Allen's decision to defeat Chen Xiao in the third quarter was correct.

Because if it were him, if he had the chance, he would also make Chen Xiao lose his combat effectiveness in the game.

This is a basketball god who can beat a team by himself!

As long as he still has fighting ability, you will always worry that he will perform 35 seconds and 13 minutes at some point, or have a Miller moment.

Because he has done all of these, and even every game in a series is a Miller moment. This O'Neal and the seven-star Nets of that year know best.

Ray Allen felt that the game had been anxious until the end, which was a huge crisis for the Bucks.

In this case, if there is an opportunity to relieve Chen Xiao's combat effectiveness in advance, of course he must take advantage of it.

But, unfortunately, Bo failed.

Chen Xiao will definitely be on the court in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors will definitely be a decisive battle with all the main players in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, they just had to keep up!

They have no choice.

Therefore, the Bucks are a little embarrassed now.

But, did the Bucks really fail?

Not really.

Chen Xiao, who was sitting off the court at the end of the third quarter, secretly whispered in Cole's ear as he passed by Cole: "For the next half of the game, I can only stand and defend."

Yes, Chen Xiao is completely exhausted now.

Even standing on defense was in a shaky state.

He can now only rely on his strong defensive deterrence in the first three quarters to intimidate the Bucks players and not try to impact him.

After all, at this time, the score was only 3 points.

If NBA games were not 12-minute quarters, but 13-minute quarters, then he would have collapsed.

The intensity in the third quarter of the game against the Bucks was just too much.

It can be said that the Bucks' attrition strategy did not fail, but succeeded.

After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Cole's heart actually tightened at first.

Really, Chen Xiao is his only support in this game.

But now, Chen Xiao said that he was exhausted and would need at least half a period of rest before he could regain his fighting strength.

Cole certainly knows that Chen Xiao can fight without resting for so long, but by then the offensive and defensive levels will definitely drop a lot, which will let the Bucks know that there is a problem with Chen Xiao's physical fitness.

In this case, Chen Xiao said that he needed half a quarter of the game to rest and not take the initiative during this period. This was the right choice.

And this half of the quarter will determine the life or death of the Warriors!

This half of the quarter requires the efforts of him as the head coach and the rest of the Warriors team.

Especially him as the head coach!

And Kerr, a very pioneering head coach of the Warriors, then made a decision that shocked Chen Xiao, the Warriors, and the entire NBA.

When the Warriors' final lineup came on the court in the fourth quarter, everyone was stunned.

Jokic, thick eyebrows, Chen Xiao, Clay, Curry.

It's understandable that Curry would replace Bill. Bill played the entire third quarter.

But Jokic?

You know, Jokic didn't play in the first three quarters!

At the decisive moment, Jokic was directly brought up. Was he suddenly not afraid of being called out by Curry and being outrun by the Bucks?

But soon!

These people understand why Cole made such a decision.

In the third quarter, the Bucks' five starting forwards were so entangled by Chen Xiao. With their half-broken bodies, could they really outrun Jokic?

And Curry, who didn't play for the whole quarter, is his offensive touch really much better than Jokic?

“The Warriors got on Jokic in the fourth quarter!”

"The Bucks disrupted their own rhythm in the third quarter in order to defeat God, which gave Cole something to rely on to take risks!"

"As long as the Bucks are not so good at running and Curry's touch is not so magical, then Jokic's disadvantage on the defensive end will not be that big, but on the offensive end, the advantage Jokic brings will be very big! "

At this time, neither the commentators nor anyone else connected Jokic's appearance with Chen Xiao's physical crisis.

Chen Xiao can only stand on defense now and cannot attack, so the Warriors must have an offensive organizer. To be honest, although Cole's move is risky, he has no choice.

Of course, others don't know that.

Even Ray Allen feels that this is adding insult to injury for the Warriors.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors took the lead. Faced with Jokic, who did not play the whole game today, Dream Green certainly would not give him a chance to organize his teammates. At this time, he still chose to bet on Jokic. Offensive feel.

Under normal circumstances, when suddenly playing such an intense and intense game, few people can regain their touch like a microwave oven.

Facing a defense like Green, Jokic did not shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he took a step inside and shot a long two-pointer.

Yes, Jokic is not sure about his three-pointer either.

He took too long to rest in this game.

Even if it was the long-distance two-pointer that he is good at, this unguarded shot was hit with a bump, and it took two circles around the rim before falling in.

95 to 96!

Anyway, the Warriors were only 1 point away from catching up.

This score is really unbearable.

Not to mention the Warriors fans at the scene, even the players on the court couldn't stand it at this time.

Next it was the Bucks' turn to attack. Curry and Dream Green picked and rolled, trying to call Jokic in front of him, but this time it was thick eyebrows that followed.

And Jokic switched to Antetokounmpo. Because Antetokounmpo had no shooting range and was now weak, Curry and Jokic did not click on it and looked at the ball in front of Durant. Chen Xiao, as well as Green's younger brother Curry, in the end Curry could only mention thick eyebrows.

Small and big, thick eyebrows, there is a chance, but it is not comfortable.

However, he has more opportunities to hit thick eyebrows than Durant hits Chen Xiao and Green hits Curry Jr.

After Curry's very beautiful dribbling, he stepped back to the three-point line. There was indeed a chance, but his shot hit the basket hard.

The shot missed this time and was grabbed by Jokic on the backboard.

Curry would not say that his attack was because he was too nervous or the game was too exciting, nor would he say that the chance was not good, nor would he say that he was still interfered by the long arms with thick eyebrows.

Because it is meaningless to say all this at this time. At this point in the game, every attack is a combination of various factors.

It is not easy to get any point at this time.

In the Warriors' next attack, Clay used Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll to score a three-pointer, which was also a hit.

However, the thick eyebrows overwhelmed Antetokounmpo to grab the offensive rebound and made a tip-in, 97 to 96!

The Warriors are over the score!

In fact, although the Bucks are a fifth-year team, their backcourt rebound protection has always been good. However, it is obvious that due to Antetokounmpo's physical problems, the Bucks' rebounding problem has also emerged.

This seems to be Antetokounmpo's problem, but it is actually a problem from Chen Xiao.

After losing the rebound, Ray Allen immediately requested a timeout, and then had to replace Antetokounmpo with Nene.

Nene replaced Antetokounmpo purely to protect rebounds.

There's really nothing he can do about it. If he could, he wouldn't want to change it.

Because Nene is replaced, the Bucks' fourth position on the court really has no ability to attack independently and has no deterrent effect on Jokic.

Nene's independent offense and ball-handling ability are simply incomparable to Antetokounmpo.

What made Ray Allen even worse was that in the next round, Curry did not seek a pick-and-roll, but directly played his younger brother Curry in isolation.

Such direct one-on-one play of small players against small players is actually not Curry’s strength. Curry’s strongest point is when small players play against large players. This is why in history, Cole always let Green attack with the ball. Curry would attack even with the ball. The pick-and-roll looks for mismatch opportunities.

Curry's physical fitness and athletic ability are destined to make him not a defender like Iverson who still has a strong single-point blasting ability against the same height, athletic ability and agility.

Let’s just say that this time in the singles against Curry Jr., Curry faced the younger brother who knew him best. In the end, he failed to break through. He stepped back and made a three-pointer. He also failed to get rid of Curry Jr.’s defense. In addition, he was cold on the bench. After working for such a long time, it was natural that I still wanted to make iron in the end.

But this time, luckily, the throw was too big and the backboard was a bit long, accidentally falling into Curry's hand. Curry, who has quick eyes and quick hands, stole his brother's backboard with a quick step and broke through. In one step, facing the defense of thick eyebrows, he succeeded with his good little throw.

97 to 98!

The Bucks overtake again!

After this go-ahead, the two teams did not score in the next three rounds.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the two teams played too tightly. Until now, the mental and physical exertion of the two teams has been too great.

With 9 minutes left in the game, the Warriors' thick-eyebrow mid-range shot was a hit, and he once again grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked, scoring the two points that broke the deadlock.

What is very surprising is that the thick eyebrows that were very uncomfortable being entangled by Antetokounmpo in the finals broke out after Antetokounmpo left!

This is actually not surprising. Although Nene has sufficient physical strength, he is too old. The 34-year-old Nene cannot keep up with thick eyebrows in terms of agility and athletic ability. Nene can prevent thick eyebrows very well. The second time, he was a little helpless.

After Dream Green went to guard Jokic, Durant was the only one left to protect the basket, and Durant still had to keep an eye on Chen Xiao.

This exposed Nene to the thick eyebrows.

Of course Ray Allen also discovered this problem, but now that there is no dead ball, it is difficult for him to replace Antetokounmpo.

However, when the Bucks' offense stalled, Durant still moved.

Although the defender was Chen Xiao, after Dooku successfully blocked Chen Xiao in the pick-and-roll, facing the attack of Curry and Clay, Durant still made a strong mid-range shot from the right elbow area and hit!

99 to 100!

The Bucks once again took the lead!

Durant had not attacked before the fourth quarter. He watched Curry and Green cooperate with each other. The main reason was that he consumed a lot in the third quarter and rested on the court.

However, even for Durant, it is still too difficult for him to attack in the face of the Warriors' way of defending Dooku's pick-and-roll.

Therefore, after Antetokounmpo replaced Nene, the two teams fell into a scoring panic in the next 2 minutes.

It wasn't until there were only 7 minutes left in the game that Clay took advantage of Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer.

I have to say that Clay has a really big heart. At this time, when everyone's hands are hard and their hearts are tight, it's really not easy for him to still be so decisive in his shots and still hit.

102 to 100!

But soon, Curry and Green picked and rolled, and they responded with a very difficult three-pointer.

102 to 103!

The scores of the two teams are still taking the lead alternately.

Immediately afterwards, the Warriors' offense, Curry Jr. responded to his brother Curry's three-pointer, and Durant once again hit a difficult 2-point mid-range shot. The Bucks once again pushed the score beyond 3 point.

102 to 105!

And then, facing Antetokounmpo's defense, the thick eyebrow hit the mid-range shot again, and then Durant once again hit a super difficult mid-range jumper. The score continued to expand, 102 to 107!

After Klay hit a 3-pointer last time, the Warriors went without a goal for almost two minutes.

At this time, there were only 5 minutes left in the game.

The Warriors are already 5 points behind again.

Crisis is coming again!

And just when all the Warriors fans had their hearts in their throats, Cole on the sidelines looked at Chen Xiao on the court. On the offensive end, when he finally got the ball, he couldn't hold back a smile on his face. , and felt relieved in my heart.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao never got the ball on the offensive end. He cooperated with Jokic to organize the offense and cover for his teammates like he did in the regular season.

Seven minutes into the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao suddenly came around to get the ball. This surprised Durant, who came out to defend Chen Xiao. At the same time, he also had some concentration problems. The main reason was that Chen Xiao had not attacked for too long. Iguodala was not substituted.

When Chen Xiao attacks, he is actually not guarding him most of the time.

And just like this time difference, after Chen Xiaodou came out to receive Jokic's pass, facing Durant's defense, two consecutive crotch and body confrontations were about to knock off Durant's defense. At that moment, instead of walking inside, he made a sudden step back. This made Durant, who was already out of defense, subconsciously take a step forward, and there was a snap!

The sound of Durant's palm hitting Chen Xiao's wrist was particularly loud!

And then, there was another swipe!

The sound of basketball brushing the net is also very clear!

Looking at the gesture of the referee on duty, the three-pointer was valid and a penalty shot was added.

The look on Durant's face was helpless.

Sometimes long hands are also a disadvantage.

Just like sometimes the length of a foot can easily change from three points to two points.

Extra penalty hit!

3+1!

106 to 107!

The Warriors once again chased the score to just one point.

"At the most dangerous moment when no one on the Warriors could score, God Chen stepped up again!"

This 3+1 is indeed a great morale booster!

What boosted morale even more was that after the Warriors relied on Durant to hit another mid-range hit to widen the gap, Chen Xiao once again hit a 3-pointer. This time, he faced a double attack from Iguodala and Green. On defense, Chen Xiao made a very arrogant fake shot. After deceiving Iguodala, he hit a three-pointer!

To be honest, after Chen Xiao and Jokic picked and rolled, when they saw Chen Xiao passing the ball to Jokic who was open and cutting, everyone would think that Chen Xiao could pass the ball.

After just a moment of hesitation, Chen Xiao took action and hit!

109 to 109!

When the two teams tied again, the atmosphere of the game was so tense that it was completely suffocating.

Why do you say complete suffocation?

Because after the two teams were tied with 4 minutes left in the game, the two teams did not score a point in the next three minutes!

bang!

bang!

bang!

The offense of the two teams, whether it’s the thick eyebrows, Klay Thompson’s, Jokic’s, Bill’s, or Green’s, Antetokounmpo’s, Iguodala’s, Durant’s, Curry’s, All are forging iron.

As for Chen Xiao, after Chen Xiao tied the score, he stopped attacking.

And the deadlock continues.

With 53 seconds left in the game, Clay hit a three-pointer.

With 41 seconds left in the game, Curry hit a three-pointer.

With 35 seconds left in the game, Bill scored two points.

With 12 seconds left in the game, Durant made a strong three-point shot.

The scoring flurry between the two teams continues, until only 10 seconds are left in the regular time of this game!

After the Warriors paused, everyone looked at Chen Xiao.

This time the Warriors chose to serve from the backcourt, and Chen Xiao, who had not seen him for a long time, dribbled the ball past half court.

This time, the Bucks did not dare to attack Chen Xiao wildly, because this time, the game would be over if the ball scored.

Little Curry, Beal, Klay, Big Eyebrow, everyone on the Warriors court, all the Warriors players on the court, Bucks players, all the Warriors and Bucks players on the sidelines, on the scene The audience, the audience in front of the TV, everyone looked at Chen Xiao and Chai Meng Green.

Facing Dream Chaser Green's eagerly following defense, Chen Xiao dribbled the ball through the half court rhythmically, neither fast nor slow.

10 seconds!

9 seconds!

8 seconds!

…

…

…

3 seconds!

Chen Xiao came two steps beyond the three-point line, and instead of continuing to walk forward, he straightened up.

Facing Dream Chasing Green's late defense, Chen Xiao shot the basketball in his hand.

After a while.

A swipe!

The ball goes in!

The light is red!

112 to 109!

Killer!

"God!!!!!"
