I’m Really Playing Basketball

Because of the crazy 103 points in the Christmas game on December 25, Chen Xiao is very busy these days.

Various interviews with NBA officials, American media, Chinese media, and world media.

Not only the media, but Chen Xiao’s phone calls have been busy these days.

Even because the epidemic in the United States has been completely relaxed, many idol students from Japan and South Korea have come to the United States to see Chen Xiao.

The Chaoyue sisters, who originally played in the WNBA in the United States, also traveled thousands of miles to send blessings despite their busy schedules.

In short, after scoring 103 points for a period of time, Chen Xiao even felt more tired than that game, and much more tired. This was very interesting.

After all, for the NBA, scoring 100 points in a game is truly rare in fifty years, and you don’t know when it will happen next time.

What's more, this person is still the 40-year-old basketball god Chen Xiao.

While Chen Xiao was raging with 103 points, the Warriors won their last two games in 2021, playing the Suns away and the Nuggets at home.

So far, the Warriors have played all the games in 2021, with a record of 33 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

At the same time, Chen Xiao once again won the honor of Best of the Month.

In December, the Warriors lost two games, but Chen Xiao still undoubtedly won the Best of the Month award.

After all, even if they lose two games in a single month, the Warriors still have the best record in the Western Conference.

In the entire 12-point game, Chen Xiao averaged a super triple-double of 40 points, 13 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game.

By the way, this month in the East, Antetokounmpo did not win the Eastern Conference Monthly Award again, because the Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award went to Wizards guard James Harden.

James Harden averaged 44 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists per game last month, which is a strong figure.

James Harden has averaged more than 36 points per game so far this season. Chen Xiao only surpassed James Harden in the scoring list after scoring 103 points.

It can only be said that James Harden's performance this season is indeed outstanding.

In fact, because a group of veterans such as Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge have dominated the league for too long.

Therefore, it will make people feel that players like James Harden are young players.

After all, Chen Xiao is still in the league.

But in fact, Durant, Curry, James Harden, and Westbrook are no longer young, and even their youngest is already 32 years old.

It's just because of Chen Xiao that they still appear to be young players.

Even Durant's current nickname is Mr. Du.

Because he is Chen Xiao and Jordan's apprentice, and Chen Xiao has not retired, Durant will always be a young master, not a master.

After all, Mr. Chen is still here.

It is precisely because of the existence of a person like Chen Xiao that, to be honest, a group of young people born in the 1988s such as Rose, Durant, Curry, Westbrook and James Harden in the NBA are actually relatively unlucky.

Originally, according to the rules, they had become the face of the alliance, but because Chen Xiao was still there, they were always a little behind.

Even if they become a facade, media experts and celebrities will compare them with the previous facade. How can this be compared?

But even in such an environment, young players such as James Harden have grown up.

It can only be said that the post-88s generation of superstars in the league are really strong.

If considered as an age group, the league's post-88s generation includes Oden, Durant, Curry, Rose, and Westbrook. This group of players can all be ranked high even in the history of the NBA.

Of course, the strongest year must be 1982. After all, three players from 1982, Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge, entered the top ten in the league.

Therefore, at present, the strongest players are the players born in 1982.

On January 1, 2022, during the game between the Warriors and Jazz, Chen Xiao came to Salt Lake City with the remaining power after scoring 100 points.

Since Chen Xiao scored 100 points, all fans across the United States are now waiting for Chen Xiao's arrival.

Even in a place as extremely loyal as Salt Lake City, when Chen Xiao came here with the Warriors, the whole audience was cheering for Chen Xiao.

In this game, every time Chen Xiao made a free throw, crazy shouts of God would be heard from the scene.

In addition, during the halftime break of the game, the final legendary mid-circle kill from the Christmas game between Chen Xiao and the Bucks was even played on the big screen.

And when the replay was played on the big screen, the fans at the scene didn't know how many times they had watched it, but they still felt excited and cheered.

For NBA fans, many people say that the Christmas Day game between the Warriors and Bucks is one of the best games they have ever watched.

Some fans even said that the game between the Warriors and Bucks was the most beautiful game they had ever seen, and they didn't even need one.

Coupled with the promotion of Boss Qiao and the league, Chen Xiao has not retired yet this season, but fans across the United States are now eagerly waiting for Chen Xiao's arrival.

By the way, before the game between the Warriors and Jazz, the Jazz retired the jersey of team legend Yi Jianlian.

This game between the Warriors and the Jazz is the date selected by the United Arab Emirates for the retirement of their jerseys. The purpose is to hang up their jerseys in front of Chen Xiao.

In this time and space, because of his extremely high achievements in FIBA, UAE is the number one power forward in FIBA ​​history and is also a player who has won ten World Series.

Therefore, because FIBA's achievements are high enough, his current status in the NBA is also very special.

His achievements in the NBA are definitely enough to hang up his jersey. After all, in the past ten years or so, the boss of the Jazz has not won a championship, but has started more than a dozen All-Stars, plus the best lineup, and has led the Jazz to the playoffs. A strong team in the NBA, coupled with his own total data of 20,000+10,000, it can be said that the UAE's achievements in the NBA can indeed be respected by the Jazz.

But for this game, not only Malone and Stockton, but also Sloan (Sloan is still alive in this time and space) and others came, and even the league's president, Jordan Joe, came.

This is not respect for Yi Jianlian's achievements in the NBA.

Boss Joe came here because the number one power forward in FIBA ​​history will have his NBA jersey retired.

Therefore, for Yi Jianlian's jersey retirement ceremony, Boss Qiao actually performed it with the specifications of an NBA super giant, or even a historical super giant.

Compared with Yi Jianlian's achievements in the NBA, this is definitely at least one level higher.

Of course, the UAE's achievements in FIBA, coupled with the success of the NBA, are definitely worthy of the respect of Joe and the NBA.

In this festive game, the Warriors and Jazz played a wonderful game.

For the Jazz, Gobert, Mitchell, Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson all scored 20 points.

Although it is rare for four people on a team to score 20 points, it is not uncommon.

But it is still very rare for four people to score 20 points at the same time.

It is precisely because the four Jazz players performed very well in this game.

The Warriors and Jazz were inseparable in the first three quarters, and the Jazz even had a slight lead.

But it wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Jazz collapsed. After all, it was difficult for the Jazz's big center Gobert to run like he did in the first three quarters throughout the game.

Now the Warriors are playing very small and very fast, and they have always been Gobert's nemesis. In this game, Gobert gritted his teeth and ran all over the court in the first three quarters, using his big to restrain the Warriors' small.

But by the fourth quarter, Gobert couldn't run anymore.

Then, the Jazz collapsed. Throughout the fourth quarter, the Warriors beat the Jazz 37 to 25.

You know, in the third quarter, the Jazz beat the Warriors 41 to 33.

As a team that plays on the ground, the Jazz scored 41 points in the third quarter. This shows that this team played well in the third quarter, and it was indeed very expensive.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, there is really no way.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Jazz 133-129 on the road.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 12 of 18 shots, 9 of 12 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 41 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists.

In this game, Chen Xiao once again set a new record for the league's oldest player with 40+ triple-doubles.

Well, of course, the oldest triple-double player must be Chen Xiao.

After the game against the Bucks, Chen Xiao's game state has been very good.

As far as this game is concerned, Chen Xiao can actually score more points.

But in the first three quarters, Chen Xiao always made hard passes with hot hands, supporting his teammates to score and find their status.

And this is also the reason why the Warriors were able to defeat the Jazz in the end.

Many people say that after Chen Xiao scored 100 points, Chen Xiao will continue to compete with James Harden for this season's scoring title now that he has secured the MVP.

Therefore, Chen Xiao will increase the number of his shots.

But in this game between the Warriors and the Jazz, with Chen Xiao's touch, he chose this style of play. It can only be said that Chen Xiao is really resigned to competing for an honor like the scoring champion.

In fact, Chen Xiao has always been very Buddhist in his career as a scorer.

He will get it only when the team needs it. If the team doesn't need him, he will pass the ball and usually won't force points.

Many people say that the reason why Chen Xiao is like this is because he was injured when he averaged 44 points per game in the regular season.

Chen Xiao has never refuted this statement.

It's not that Chen Xiao admits it, but that season that year, Chen Xiao really discovered that no matter how many points are useless to the team, it is useless.

In addition, after that season, no one needs Chen Xiao to prove his scoring ability.

Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao's average of 44 points per game that season was much more terrifying than Chamberlain's.

After all, in modern basketball, as a perimeter player, and in an era when three-pointers have not yet fully become mainstream, the scoring was truly terrifying.

After defeating the Jazz in an away game on the first day of the New Year, the Warriors returned home on January 3. In the game against the Heat led by Rose, Gaobo, LaVine, DeRozan, and Adebayo, they finally The Warriors lost to the Heat 115-118 at home.

This game was extremely difficult for the Warriors.

Especially Chen Xiao, who played center against Gao Bo in this game.

After Gaobo came to the league in 2018, this season is his fourth season.

Just like Yao Ming who completed his transformation in his fourth season, Gao Bo also completed his transformation this season.

Last season, Gao Bo was already the second-team center in the league, and this season, Gao Bo seems to feel that his strength has improved.

The main reason is that his confrontation is better and his control of the game is also better.

Let’s just talk about this game. Gaobo achieved the ultimate in one-on-one and passing, as well as the timing of coordination with outside players such as Rose, LaVine, and DeRozan.

In this game, Gao Bo made 8 of 14 goals and only scored 24 points, but he handed out 12 assists.

It can be said that he single-handedly defeated Marvin Bagley of the Warriors.

In this game, Gao Bo sat under the basket, blocked Chen Xiao's attack at the basket, forced Chen Xiao outside, and then defeated the defender Marvin Bagley on the offensive end.

The inside combination of Gao Bo and Adebayor is working together more and more tacitly.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gao Bo is becoming more and more like Yao Ming's style and posture.

By the way, in this game, Chen Xiao made 10 of 22, 5 of 14 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He only scored 31 points, and his shooting rate was not even 50%.

And, no triple-double yet.

Chen Xiao's performance this season can be Chen Xiao's worst game this season, not even one.

Chen Xiao's statistics are still excellent, but he cannot break the constraints of Gao Bo and Adebayor's inside combination.

This makes Chen Xiao's data actually meaningless.

If it weren't for Jordan Poole's efficient scoring performance of 12 of 17 in this game, let's put it this way, the Warriors should have lost long ago.

The loss in this game against the Heat also made the Warriors understand a truth.

This Warriors team that gave up defense is not without natural enemies.

Even though the Cavaliers are old, the Heat are now in their prime.

It's not like the Warriors haven't thought about becoming a comprehensive team.

But with Chen Xiao playing center, it is impossible for the Warriors to build a team with the Heat as their imaginary enemy.

The Warriors can only build a team with the Bucks as their imaginary enemy.

In this case, the Warriors are actually taking a gamble.

Bet that the team that will eventually enter the finals is the Bucks who are currently in the spotlight.

If the Heat really make it to the Finals, let's put it this way, no matter what, the Warriors will give it away.

The Heat's outside line is no worse than the Warriors', or even better, and they still have an advantage inside. In addition, head coach Spoelstra is also a head coach who almost never makes mistakes.

In this case, the Warriors are indeed no match for the Heat.

Of course, just as it is very difficult for the Warriors to play the Heat, it is also difficult for the Heat to play the Bucks.

The current four super teams in the league, the Lakers, Warriors, Heat, and Bucks, are really restrained from each other, and it is difficult for anyone to say that they are invincible.

After losing to the Heat, the Warriors did not lose again throughout January. It was not until February 2, when the Warriors played back-to-back away games against the Bucks, that the Warriors lost.

On this day, the league also announced the final results of the All-Star voting.

No surprise, Chen Xiao once again won the vote.

This is the 20th time in Chen Xiao’s career that he has won the All-Star vote!

It’s also the twentieth time in a row!

Therefore, when the league's official website displays the number 20.

The entire alliance and the entire world were shocked again.

So much so that the league's president, Jordan, sighed when announcing the results: "The past 20 years of the NBA have been 20 years that belong to God!"
