I’m Really Playing Basketball

At the end of the game between the Warriors and the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena, there was warm applause.

This applause is given to Chen Xiao, who scored 66 points in three quarters of this game.

It was also garbage time in the fourth quarter, and Zhou Qi was still left on the court by Hornets head coach Gentry. In the end, Zhou Qi made 6 of 12 in a single quarter and scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter.

In this game, Chen Xiao educated Zhou Qi for three quarters. After three quarters, the game entered garbage time and Chen Xiao left the game.

Zhou Qi, on the other hand, was kept on the court by Gentry, playing on the Warriors' bench.

In the first three quarters, Zhou Qi, who was whipped by Chen Xiao like a child, showed great power against the Warriors' bench.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Warriors' bench lineup has no insiders.

Chen Xiao, Jokic and Big Eyebrow will not play garbage time.

Apart from these three people, the Warriors have no other insiders.

The Warriors' garbage time substitute lineup is VanVleet, Devin Booker, Norman Powell, Klay, and Jaylen Brown.

For Zhou Qi, the Warriors' bench lineup simply exists to help him improve his statistics.

Of course, if you don't have a certain level of strength, if you don't come out of the trough, you will definitely not be able to perform so well even if you face the Warriors' bench lineup.

Therefore, after the game, Zhou Qi came off the court and did not return to the Hornets' bench immediately. Instead, he went directly to the Warriors' bench to hug and thank Chen Xiao.

And this is also the reason why the audience gave the warmest applause.

"This is basketball!"

"This is inheritance!"

Even Maizi, who has always had a sharp tongue, was extremely impressed at this time.

This game allowed everyone to see that the NBA is not a pure business league. The interaction between Chen Xiao and Zhou Qi in this game allowed everyone to see that the NBA can also have things like the NCAA.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao and Zhou Qi hugged, the fans at the scene, the players on both sides, the coaches on both sides, and the commentators on the scene were all applauding.

This plot is really great.

Well, if Zhou Qi performed poorly in the fourth quarter, he would naturally not be able to get such applause.

People are like this. As long as you can rise up, everyone can accept your downfall.

Therefore, at this time, many Hornets fans online said that they are already looking forward to Zhou Qi's future.

After such a game and then a fourth quarter rally, Zhou Qi has overcome the obstacles on his way to NBA stardom.

This talented student of the basketball god will surely lead the Hornets to a revival in the future!

Of course, on the other side of the mainland, Chinese fans are also very happy.

After all, Ah Lian is older, and the Chinese team is destined to be handed over to the young people of Gao Bo and Zhou Qi's generation in the future.

If Zhou Qi can really take the lead in the future, this will be very important to the Chinese team.

"Even if Chen Xiao retires as a national team player, he is still the soul of the Chinese national team. He is even the greatest head coach in the history of the Chinese national team!"

Well, Chen Xiao is the greatest head coach in the history of the Chinese national team. This statement was made when the Chinese team won the Olympic championship this summer.

Faye Wong, who led the Chinese team to three Olympic Games and two World Championships, was the first to agree with this statement.

According to Faye Wong's guidance, these achievements of his are basically nothing.

The Chinese team, which has Chen Xiao, the first player in basketball history, and Yao Ming, the first center in FIBA ​​history, can still win the championship even if they have a husky tied to the coaching bench.

The fact that the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship in the 2016 Olympics was really all due to Chen Xiao.

Therefore, his eight world championships plus the Diamond Cup are not as good as Chen Xiao's one.

Of course, Faye Wong's words were very modest and self-effacing, but both the media and Chinese fans felt this way.

For Chinese fans and media reporters, Chen Xiao's contribution to Chinese basketball is nothing short of heaven-worthy.

Especially after the videos of Chen Xiao teaching players during the Chinese national team training sessions were made into documentaries and broadcast by CCTV, the Chinese audience felt this way.

Well, Chen Xiao’s training with the Chinese national team over the years, from 2002 to the 2016 Olympic Games, CCTV produced a 100-episode documentary "Perfect", which is currently being broadcast on CCTV, and the ratings are exploding. describe.

From coaching Yao Yao in 2002 to coaching Zhou Qi Gaobo in 2016, Chen Xiao has truly built the Chinese national team into one of the most successful national teams in basketball history during these fourteen years in the national team.

In the history of the national team, apart from the 11 championships won by the US team, the Chinese men's basketball team ranks second with four.

And in addition to the U.S. national team winning seven consecutive Olympic Games, the second-ranked Chinese men's basketball team ranks fourth consecutively.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with saying that the Chinese men's basketball team is one of the most successful national teams.

Therefore, after FIBA ​​joined the Chen Xiao International Basketball Association to host the university, the official website of FIBA ​​introduced Chen Xiao, the president, as: "The Godfather of Chinese Basketball, the greatest evangelist in the basketball world."

In this game, Chen Xiao's performance is worthy of this extremely weighty introduction by FIBA.

After defeating the Hornets in an away game, the Warriors continued their visit to Phoenix on October 30. In this game, the Warriors' opponents were not only Chris Bosh and Aldridge, but also the Warriors' former important rotation player Livingston.

Therefore, this game is quite friendly to the Warriors.

Bosh is Wade's younger brother in the Heat.

Aldridge is Chen Xiao’s younger brother in the Bobcats.

Livingston is Chen Xiao's younger brother in the Warriors.

Everyone is an acquaintance.

Let's put it this way, as long as the Warriors only have four big guys, Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard and Carter, almost most of the players in the entire league are their "protégés".

The seniority the Warriors have now is unbelievable.

Let's put it this way, in the entire league, except for the Lakers' boss Kobe, no one has a higher seniority than the four veterans of the Warriors.

Although everyone was friendly before the Suns game, the Warriors felt cold when they came on.

In the entire first quarter, the Warriors shot 8 of 25, with a shooting percentage of just 32%. This level of iron is rare for the Warriors in recent years.

So right off the bat, the Warriors trailed the Suns by 10 points in the first quarter.

Fortunately, for the current Warriors, although they are slow to warm up with the four veterans, their adjustment ability is definitely not comparable to other teams.

In the end, the Warriors reversed the Suns 116-110 on the road, which was more difficult.

After the game, although the Warriors won, Cole felt a strong sense of crisis.

Veteran teams have strengths and weaknesses.

I won’t mention the advantages, there are too many.

The disadvantage is definitely that it is slow to heat up.

It was slow to start against the Suns and fell behind by a big score. This can be chased.

But if you're slow to warm up to the Bucks, it's not that easy to chase.

Therefore, he needs to solve this problem based on the Warriors' current conditions.

The Suns ramped up the intensity of the game right from the start, which means that it was not a fluke that the Suns slowed down the Warriors, but it was intentional.

When other teams in the league see the Suns targeting the Warriors like this, they will definitely follow suit.

Since you have many veterans, I won't give you the chance to gradually improve your game state. Instead, you will increase the intensity of the game as if it were a final. It depends on how you adjust.

I have to say, this move is really powerful.

It can only be said that in the history of the NBA, there are too many teams with as many veteran superstars as the Warriors this season.

For example, the former Nets F7, such as the former Houston Olajuwon, Barkley and Drexler, NBA teams and coaches have rich experience in dealing with this kind of old superstar team.

There is no need to create it yourself, you can just find it from history and use it.

On October 31, after the Warriors played a difficult game against the Suns, Cole chose to rotate Ron Howard and Carter.

In this game, facing the Lakers who were rebuilding and sending Kobe Bryant to his final season, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 127 to 117 in back-to-back games.

Neither team played defense in this game.

In this game, the Warriors played very easily in the face of crisis. After all, the Lakers are not a young team and cannot target the Warriors.

But this will not be the case in the next away game against the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers led by Lillard are still very impactful.

Therefore, throughout the first half, the Warriors, driven by the Trail Blazers, scored 55-53. The Warriors only led by 2 points on the road.

In the first quarter, they fell behind by 7 points, 21-28.

The ability to come back in the first half was mainly due to the performance of the rotating players in the second quarter. In the second quarter, Devin Booker stepped up, shooting 4 of 4 in a single quarter and scoring 12 points in a single quarter. For Devin Booker, this was It was definitely a big explosion.

Originally, the first half was so intense. Lillard scored 25 points in the half and was in hot form.

Originally, the Warriors were prepared for a hard fight.

only……

The Warriors didn't expect that the Trail Blazers suddenly collapsed in the third quarter...

The Trail Blazers shot only 30% in a single quarter, and Lillard scored 7 points on 7 shots.

More importantly, the Warriors' shooting guard Klay shot 10 of 15 in the third quarter, 8 of 12 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 31 points in a single quarter!

Klay Thompson's big outburst simply stunned the audience.

Of course, the Warriors were also stunned.

Although everyone knows that Klay's scoring power is extremely explosive, they just didn't expect it to be so strong!

31 points in a single quarter!

Klay Thompson's current state can be described as terrifying.

And what's even scarier is that after four consecutive away games, they returned home to face the Thunder led by Griffin on November 4. In this back-to-back home game, the Warriors rotated Wade and Ron Howard. In this game, Clay scored 20 points in the first quarter, 20 points in the second quarter, 20 points in the third quarter, and scored 60 points in the three quarters!

In recent years in NBA history, apart from Chen Xiao and Kobe, Clay is the third person to score 60 points in the third quarter!

And more importantly, because the Warriors are dissatisfied with their personnel this season and have many veterans, Klay will still be there even if the game reaches garbage time.

The fourth quarter was originally garbage time, but Clay could still stay on the court. This made the Thunder team uncomfortable in this game.

The Warriors are all-in. If they were all-in, based on Clay's touch in this game, he would go crazy!

Of course, in the end, the Thunder changed all their starters.

Then, in the fourth quarter, the entire Warriors team supported Klay, while the entire Thunder team was frantically defending Klay.

If Clay plays with the ball, he will definitely be double-teamed to death, and it will not be easy to score.

But the key is that Clay doesn't play with the ball.

And the running game.

Moreover, the Warriors' bench lineup is all small, and they are too good at running and creating opportunities.

More importantly, Clay really dares to fight and fight, and he really dares to throw the magic ball. No matter how you defend, I will throw it!

In the first three quarters, because he had Chen Xiao by his side, he actually didn't throw a lot. Although he took the most shots for the Warriors in the first three quarters, the relative touch was still not that many.

But the fourth quarter...

Since you all asked me to vote, then I will vote!

It doesn't matter whether it's a high difficulty or a low difficulty, as long as it's within my shooting range, I'll shoot!

Then……

Something magical happened.

Klay Thompson, who had already scored 60 points in the first three quarters, was extremely excited. In the fourth quarter, he made 13 of 13 shots and 9 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 37 points in a single quarter!

Yes, after already scoring 60 points in the first three quarters, Klay Thompson scored 37 points in the fourth quarter!

In the game, he made 30 of 46 shots, 17 of 23 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws. He scored 97 points!

Just one point away, Klay Thompson was only 3 points away from Chamberlain's 100 points!

Moreover, this is not overtime, this is 97 points in regular time!

Although 37 of these 97 points are due to your hard work and hard work during garbage time, when you score 97 points, no one will blame you for your garbage time score. Whoever you see blamed Chamberlain for his 100 points. Brushed?

Therefore, when Klay hit the last buzzer-beater and was blown away by the referee because of the red light, the Thunder's substitute players cried.

I really cried, only 0.1 seconds left, they were about to become the backdrop for 100 points in the NBA!

And this missed 100 points in 0.1 seconds will definitely become a legend in the NBA, even more legendary than Klay's 100 points at the buzzer.

"The final goal was even greater when it went out than when it didn't!"

This was Maizi's final judgment when he was excited.

At this time, with the cheers of all the Warriors fans on the court, at the end of the game, Clay collapsed with excitement.

Really exhausted.

The game whistle sounded, and when he saw that he had hit the last three-pointer, he was so excited that he lay down on the floor as if his heart had stopped beating.

Then, the whole person lost consciousness.

Finally, he looked at God...

God pulled him up and hugged him fiercely.
