I’m Really Playing Basketball

On February 15, 2019, when Chen Xiao walked into the God-Chen Basketball Center in Charlotte, the entire arena was boiling.

The 2019 All-Star Weekend was held in Charlotte, and Charlotte is undoubtedly one of Chen Xiao's base camps. After all, Chen Xiao left a dynasty and four championships here.

After all, here, Chen Xiao single-handedly built Charlotte into a great team.

Let's put it this way. Barkley said that Chen Xiao is the Genghis Khan of basketball. Chen Xiao's mobile dynasty is like the Mongol Empire that swept the entire world.

The Mongol Empire was very large. There were kingdoms ruled by the Mongol Empire in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

But obviously, for the Mongol Empire, there was still the most important kingdom.

And Charlotte is almost equivalent to the status of the Yuan Dynasty part of the Mongol Empire.

No matter how great Chen Xiao's future achievements are, his first dynasty started here.

Of course, this statement is only recognized by Charlotte fans.

For Nets fans, they feel that the Nets are the Yuan Dynasty part of the Mongol Empire. The birthplace of the Mongol Empire is here. The Nets are the birthplace of Chen Xiao, Genghis Khan in the basketball world. Chen Xiao started his career in the Nets. legendary.

No matter how great Chen Xiao's achievements are in Charlotte, the Cavaliers or the Warriors, these three teams are just three ordinary khanates that Chen Xiao defeated.

The status is that of the Chahar Khanate, the Kipchak Khanate, the Ogedai Khanate, and the Il Khanate.

In short, as Chen Xiao continues to achieve success in the NBA, which team is the most important to him has become a hot topic among NBA fans and experts.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, has never answered this question.

Although Chen Xiao said that the most important championship to him was the one he won with the Nets.

But the most important championship does not represent the most important team.

Nets fans feel that the most important championship represents the most important team.

But fans of the other three teams don't recognize it.

Just like where the hometown of celebrities in China is, they will be fooled.

In the NBA, the same is true for Chen Xiao's "hometown".

But for Chen Xiao, this arrangement of his fans will not have any impact on him.

Anyway, you are welcome wherever you go.

Chen Xiao came here this time to watch this year's Rookie Challenge, where the World Team played against the United States.

Of course Chen Xiao supports the World Team. He himself is a member of the NBA's international team. At the same time, Gao Bo, Doncic, Alexander and other players with whom he has a close relationship are all members of the World Team.

It's really interesting to say that the first-year rookies in this year's draft are all from the World League.

Doncic, Gao Bo and Ayton are all on the international team.

Coupled with repeater Ben Simmons, this year's international team is quite strong.

Of course, the U.S. team is also not weak, with several strong second-year players in Tatum, Ball, Kuzma, and Mitchell, plus several first-year players such as Trae Young and Bagley. Players, the US team is also quite strong.

Therefore, this year's Rookie Challenge is considered to be the most intense in recent years.

The American team is stronger.

But the international team has Doncic and Gao Bo.

These two young players from Chen Xiao Basketball School have equally performed well in the NBA this year.

Luka Doncic, the No. 3 draft pick, averaged 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game with the Dallas Mavericks this year. As a rookie, and only 19 years old, it is absolutely terrifying to produce such data.

As for Gao Bo, under the focus of the Heat's training, Gao Bo also made no concessions.

Next to Rose, Gao Bo also played very maturely, averaging 18 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks per game. More importantly, Gao Bo's shooting percentage was much higher than Doncic's. Now, Gao Bo's shooting percentage is 55%, the three-point shooting percentage is also 38%, and the free throw shooting percentage is as high as 88%.

Although Gao Bo is not that strong yet, he seems to be strong in all directions.

Gao Bo's side data in the draft training camp are 2.16 meters naked (2.18.5 meters tall with shoes), weight 110 kilograms, wingspan 2.30 meters, 65 in place bounce, 82 in approach bounce, and three-quarters of a field sprint. It is 3.42 seconds.

If you take these statistics alone, except for height and wingspan, nothing else is that good.

Even for Zhou Qi, who is at the same time as him, they are about the same height, have about the same jumping speed, about the same speed, and similar wingspan. Zhou Qi's wingspan is a little longer, and his high speed and jumping are a little better.

Run-up bounce ranks eighth from the bottom among this class of rookies, and three-quarters of a game's sprinting is also eighth from the bottom of this class.

It seems like dynamic talents are terrible.

If we use familiar Chinese players as a reference, Gao Bo's run-up jump is 1 centimeter higher than Zhou Qi's and 14 centimeters higher than Yao Ming's. Of course, it is not as good as UAE Lian's 90 centimeters.

Gao Bo's sprint data for three-quarters of the game was 0.4 seconds faster than Zhou Qi and 0.8 seconds faster than Sun Yue.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that Gao Bo's dynamic statistics are all at the bottom, in fact, among centers, he is already top-notch.

After all, Barkley said that his athletic ability attribute is 6, and outsider Doncic is only 7.

In fact, Zhou Qi's athletic ability is top-notch for his height, and his height and wingspan are top-notch. The reason why Zhou Qi's future is not as bright and promising as Gao Bo's is actually not because of his physical talent, but because of his golf intelligence, personality, and ability to play.

Gao Bo has proved that what Zhou Qi couldn't do in two seasons, he can do it now.

This time Chen Xiao saw Gao Bo and could clearly feel the changes in his body shape. He had gained weight, and this season Pat Riley once again invited Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just like he did with Yao Ming. Go out to train Gao Bo.

Obviously, Gao Bo's current rhythm is the same as that of Yao Ming back then. Gaining weight means gaining weight, and adding more confrontations means more confrontations. However, he is definitely not blind, but adapts slowly. Therefore, he has been full attendance so far this season and is in the same state. The performance is also good.

Fans across the NBA have seen Gao Bo's superb golf intelligence and technical abilities this season. All we can say is that Barkley is truly honest.

Gao Bo has played so far this season, and his upper limit is really visible to the naked eye.

Shooting, passing, defense, frame protection, and even one-on-one dribbling breakthroughs, he really has it all.

Let’s not talk about whether he is proficient or not, but he really has everything. He is simply another smaller version of Yao Ming who is also an accelerated version.

Therefore, many reporters and media said that the Heat's surge in the Eastern Conference this season made Pat Riley smile from ear to ear.

After all, he won the bet on Gaobo. This guy does seem to be the rookie with the greatest potential this year, and even the strongest one currently.

Therefore, regardless of this year's Rookie Challenge, the US team has more second-year players and is overall stronger, but everyone is still more optimistic about the first-year players.

Doncic and Gao Bo, two former teammates who had a tacit understanding, are really strong.

If the two of them cooperate in the Rookie Challenge, they will be synonymous with invincibility.

In fact, this rookie challenge was really fierce. The final result was that the international team defeated the American team 164 to 161.

Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma of the United States team started for 22 minutes and made 15 of 27 shots. He scored a game-high 35 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Unfortunately, his team lost, so he missed out on the MVP. .

I have to say that Kuzma is really strong in this kind of game without defense. Kuzma's offense is so comprehensive. Not to mention proficient, he has everything, but he can't fight.

Kuzma is really like the current Zhou Qi. He can attack, but this confrontation is really not good. Of course, Zhou Qi’s height and wingspan make him very strong in protecting the frame and assisting in defense. He has been stabbed by thousands of people on defense more than once. .

In addition to Kuzma, Gaobo played 20 minutes today, making 14 of 18 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in the game.

Gao Bo is the player with the most points on the international team tonight.

In the end, Gao Bo also won the final MVP trophy.

I have to say that young players like Gao Bo were really lucky when they entered the league.

When Chen Xiao and Yao Ming entered the league, they were fighting for dominance. Barkley even mocked Yao Ming. The NBA environment was not optimistic about yellow players at all.

However, through the efforts of generations of seniors such as Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and Arab League, Chinese players in the NBA now have a completely different reputation internationally.

Let's put it this way, Gobert is such a thorn in the side that he looks down on American players and the team's new outside king Mitchell, but he has special respect for Yi Jianlian.

In this Rookie Challenge, the international team's talented players from various countries and colors took the initiative to surround Gao Bo and help Gao Bo.

American experts such as Barkley, who once dismissed Chinese players, have become the main force in praising Gao Bo this season.

Of course, Gao Bo can win the MVP. Although there are dividends from the times, it must be more because of his strength.

Otherwise, Gao Bo would have been sprayed long ago when he was selected as an All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference as a rookie.

Back then, rookie Yao Ming was criticized to death when he started the game. During the All-Star Weekend interview, Yao Ming was almost out of defense.

February 16th, the second day of the NBA All-Star Weekend, includes all individual NBA games.

In the skills challenge that started first, eight players were paired up in pairs to determine a promotion spot.

In the first group, Jokic defeated his big brother Milicic, in the second group, Tatum defeated Conley, in the third group, Trae Young defeated Fox, and in the fourth group, Doncic defeated Kuzma.

In the semifinals, Doncic lost to Trae Young, and Jokic was not as good as Tatum.

In the finals, Trae Young took the lead and Tatum was far behind. However, for the last three-pointer, Trae Young had to go to the three-point line to shoot, but Tatum took the shot before it passed the midline. This was a life-threatening log-shot. It actually hit. What Doncic failed to do twice before, he did it. He successfully stunned Trae Yanggao and won the skill king.

It can only be said that it is really exciting after the skills challenge is changed to a game mode where two people compete for speed at the same time.

It depends on whether you seek stability or gamble your life.

Trae Young, who is better at three-pointers, chooses to be more stable.

Tatum and Doncic, who are not so good at three-pointers, like to gamble their lives.

After all, you can't win without risking your life.

But having said that, not everyone dares to gamble their lives without passing the midline. It can also be seen from this that the two young players, Doncic and Tatum, both have gambling habits, and they are very gambling. .

With such a gambling player, it is very easy to be a hero, and of course it is also easy to be an undercover.

The individual events on All-Star Saturday this year were very exciting.

The skills challenge is exciting and exciting.

The next three-point shooting competition was even more impressive. Devin Booker with 23 points, Danny Green with 23 points, and Curry with 24 points did not make it to the finals!

Of the nine players who participated in the game, six scored more than 23 points.

The final was played by Joe Harris with 25 points, Buddy Hield with 26 points and Stephen Curry with 27 points.

In the finals, the three again shot more than 20 points. In the end, Joe Harris won the championship with 26 points, defeating Curry's 24 points, and was crowned the three-point king.

This three-point shooting contest can be described as a fight between gods.

Of course, there is also an old bastard among this group of gods, the farewell performance of Mavericks legend Nowitzki, who shot two three-pointers in the preliminaries.

After making the three-no-stick vote, Chen Xiao and the superstars next to him burst into laughter. The driver himself also laughed. There was no embarrassment, he was just having fun and having fun.

In the subsequent dunk contest, Diallo, who was selected by the Warriors in 2018 and sent to the Pistons in exchange for Robinson, was born in this dunk contest and made history, becoming the rookie dunk king.

I have to say that this spring man, Little White, can indeed jump.

On February 17th, compared to the excitement of the previous Rookie Challenge and individual competitions, the All-Star Game was not that exciting. The main reason was that the Eastern side was indeed stronger, while the Western side was not only not strong enough, but also old. It's a bit bigger, and it didn't work as hard in the All-Star Game.

After all, the competition for the top four in the Western Conference, or even first place, is so fierce.

In the East, the first-place Bucks in the East are very stable, the second-place Cavaliers are also very stable, and the third-place Heat are also very stable.

This allows superstar players such as Durant, Curry, James, Oden, and Rose to enjoy playing in the All-Star Game.

In the end, the East defeated the West 178-164. At the same time, Durant made 10 of 15, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and won the MVP with 31 points.

Although this game was not very exciting, at the end of the first half of the game, James and Durant formed a double attack on Chen Xiao who was receiving the ball from the three-point line in the corner. The double attack between James and Durant was simply amazing. So scary!

An ordinary person might not even be able to see the basket when being flanked by these two people, so he must be in trouble.

But Chen Xiao, while drifting out of the court, hit the three-pointer at the buzzer!

Chen Xiao hit this incredible three-pointer between James and Durant. James, Durant, Curry, Oden, Rose, and all the Eastern Conference All-Stars on the court were stunned.

The audience on the sidelines and in front of the TV were also stunned.

The final result is that this three-pointer was more popular after the game than Durant's MVP.

After all, this ball is so symbolic!

When Chen Xiao made this shot, James and Durant were beside him, and Curry, Rose, and Oden also rushed towards him.

The princes of five alliances, and the old king of one alliance.

In this way, Lao Wang relied on a magical fairy ball to defeat the five princes who were now attacking him!
