I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 232 The Protagonist? No, I Want to Be the Demon King!

The American fans and reporters looking forward to the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets watched the two protagonists they were looking forward to finally become supporting roles. This feeling is very delicate.

The first half of the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets at home, Xiao Zhan was replaced as usual, and the expectations of the American reporters on the sidelines for the duel between the little magician and Jr. Larry Bird were considered cool.

The little magician is gone, and he is still looking forward to a ball.

In the first six minutes, the little magician and Larry Bird Jr. faced off for a round.

The rest of the game was played by Wonder Boy unilaterally catching their little Larry Bird.

In the first quarter of the game, Xiao Tiantian was caught and beaten by Chen Xiao, her big butt was in pain.

In the first round of the duel between the long-armed, long-boned, and dumb-ass, the hard-bodied side won.

In fact, it's not that the big butt is not strong enough, but that Xiao Tiantian has not developed her big butt to the extreme for the time being. To be reasonable, as a young man, who doesn't like handsome and chic?

What young man doesn't like a frontal fuck instead of a butt push like Barkley?

But when it comes to hard blows from the front, the big butt flow is really not as good as the long hard flow.

So in the first quarter of the game, Xiao Tiantian felt uncomfortable when she was teased by Chen Xiao.

I thought it was the limit to be fucked by Artest yesterday, but I didn't expect that Artest yesterday was just a small appetite, but today's Xiao Chen is a big one with one step to the stomach!

No matter how fierce Artest was yesterday, he also suffered from offense. Today, he suffers from both offense and defense.

After the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Denver Nuggets by 11 points 27-16 at home.

The Nuggets have a better record than the Cavaliers, and their overall strength is also stronger than the Cavaliers, but the Nuggets are also a young team like the Cavaliers, so Carlisle feels that the Cavaliers can still play in this game.

Unexpectedly, the Cavaliers were able to play so well in the first quarter. They led by 11 points in the first quarter, which is amazing.

The Nuggets are really not weak. The start of the season with 3 wins and 2 losses is amazing. After all, although the Nuggets started without the Cavaliers and Devils, it was not good.

This shows that the young players of the Cavaliers have improved under his training!

Well, just kidding, the Cavaliers led by 11 points in the first quarter, thanks to Chen Xiao who scored 15 points in 6 of 8 in a single quarter, and it has nothing to do with the other young rookies on the team.

So in the second quarter, when James led the young rookies of the Cavaliers and was chased by the Nuggets for 9 points in less than 6 minutes, Carlisle kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

Watching Xiao Zhan lead the rookies of the Cavaliers to be beaten on the court, Chen Xiao didn't keep shaking his head like the head coach Carlisle.

Instead, he continued to applaud his teammates on the field.

Carlisle is still a defensive head coach, as he was with the Pistons.

It would be no wonder if he was satisfied when he saw how the young Cavaliers defended like chickens, how to cheat and how to defend.

It's good that he can hold back his temper and not turn on the hair dryer like Popovich.

The Cavaliers' bench lineup played poorly in this game. They couldn't defend well, and they couldn't play well in offense. The reason for the defense must be their own.

But the reason for the offense is Xiao Zhan. After Xiao Zhan scored 20+ points in the first four games of the season, he didn't feel very good in the next few games.

When Xiao Zhan was in the air for a layup, it was difficult for him to create opportunities for his teammates next to him.

That is to say, the lead that Chen Xiao established for the Cavaliers in the first quarter was huge enough.

So when Chen Xiao played again, the Cavaliers still led by 1 point 35-34.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets relied on their stronger overall strength to catch up to the score. Although they did not overtake, the main starting players of both sides came back.

But the Nuggets are obviously not going to let Anthony continue to single out like in the first quarter.

In this game, the whole United States is paying attention to the rematch between James and Anthony, hoping that the two can play more singles.

But sorry, for the Nuggets coach Jeff Budelik, even if it is a singles, it must be a good deal for Nene to singles Dior.

Even if Nene doesn't play Dio alone, and Leonard singles James, it is more reliable than Anthony, who has been stared at by Chen Xiao and has already played a small shadow.

By the way, don't underestimate Voshan Leonard. Although the 1.93-meter shooting guard is 30 years old, he has a very strong offensive explosive power, can make sudden shots and passes, and is especially good at shooting three-pointers. Tall and strong defensively, but the defense is very comprehensive, and it is not so easy for a small shooting guard.

In the second quarter, he brought the Nuggets' substitute to the Cavaliers' substitute led by James.

Just to put it this way, this one is a god-man in the NBA, a representative of the undrafted rookies in the NBA.

Not to mention that the rotation time in the second quarter made Xiao Zhan uncomfortable, it would also be uncomfortable to replace Chen Xiao with Xiao Zhan.

Camby, Nene, Anthony, Leonard, Miller...

I have to say that the strength of the Nuggets is really strong.

In the second half of the second quarter, Leonard, who played confidently in front of Xiao Zhan, felt a little unstoppable.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers also have a player that the Nuggets can't stop.

The Cavaliers players who stayed on the court in the second half of the second quarter were Xiao Mo, Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao, Diao and Chandler.

Chen Xiao switched to the small forward position, just to beat Xiao Tiantian.

Before the game started, Carlisle wasn't going to let Chen Xiao have a one-on-one with the opponent's star player.

The main fear is that the Cavaliers will suffer too much loss if they fall into a tough battle.

The last game against the Pacers was because Chen Xiao and Artest were in a tough fight. In that game, Chen Xiao assisted three times. The entire Cavaliers' offense was almost stagnant except for Chen Xiao's singles against Artest. In the end, the audience scored more than 80 points.

However, Carlisle didn't expect that Anthony's butt looked big, but it was so soft!

Britney's current defense cannot be said to be paperless.

He is in such good physical condition, how can he be a paper defense?

It is said that tall, handsome, rich, and well-lived men are such harvesters.

And Chen Xiao is like this. He has height, speed, strength, skills, and good handwork. He can really do everything on the offensive end. It seems that he has no shortcomings at all. Such a player is absolutely perfect. Rookie Harvester.

In this game, Xiao Tiantian was made so uncomfortable by Chen Xiao. It wasn't that he was not strong, but that everything he was made by Chen Xiao on the court was wrong and wrong, so he was speechless.

This season, the rookies of the Cavaliers have always been the target of the opponent's harvest, but in this game, I did not expect that the opponent's rookie can also be harvested by the boss of the team.

It's very annoying to see my rookie being harvested by others.

The rookie's many mistakes and brain-dead choices on the court will indeed make people curse.

"It turns out that it feels so cool to harvest other people's rookies. No wonder other teams will play hard when they meet our rookies!"

Seeing Xiao Tiantian lying down on the field under Chen Xiao's attack, the Cavaliers fans on the sidelines felt comfortable.

Not only Cavaliers fans, Cavaliers head coach Carlisle is also very comfortable, okay!

But if you look at Teacher Zhang next to you, it must be more comfortable!

"What protagonist, what next-generation Larry Bird, Xiao Chen, hit, hit hard, hit hard!"

Of course, this is the voice of Teacher Zhang, and he will definitely not say it. In fact, what Teacher Zhang is saying at this time is...

"Chen Xiao and Anthony of the Nuggets are very good friends. In the United States, Chen Xiao, James, Anthony and Wade are called the 'Four Heroes' by the media and fans."

"In the game between the Nuggets and the Pacers yesterday, Anthony was very uncomfortable being defended by Artest. In this game, Chen Xiao wanted to make Anthony more uncomfortable, so that he could forget the pain of last night."

Listen to Teacher Zhang's words, use the bigger pain tonight to forget the pain of last night, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that Xiao Guagua will definitely not talk about martial arts to Teacher Zhang when he hears it.

It can be seen that Mr. Zhang has a lot of opinions on what many American colleagues said before the game that Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian are the protagonists of the next generation of NBA.

After the first half of the game, the Cavaliers, who had been chased to a 1-point advantage, extended their lead to 5 points at halftime, 49 to 44. Generally speaking, the Nuggets still played well in the second quarter. The better team.

But which player played better in the first half?

Of course it was Chen Xiao from the Cavaliers. He scored 10 of 14 in the first half and scored 25 points in the half.

Indeed, in this match, Chen Xiao singled against Little Melon no matter how he played. I don't know if it's Little Melon's bad luck recently, or his own luck.

It can be said that Chen Xiao was the one who stood out the most in this battle of the "Magic Bird II" that attracted the attention of the whole United States. This is a bit interesting.

So after the half-time game, Mr. Zhang was quite active during the half-time break.

The proud teacher Zhang made those American colleagues next to him very resentful.

Indeed, we have been laying the groundwork and preparing a stage for so long, and the person standing in the middle of the stage is not our destiny protagonist, but a...

This is too much!

After the start of the third quarter, after halftime adjustments, Melon's mentality improved a lot.

"Cameron, you are an outstanding young player. The troubles these days are not your true strength!"

"Cameron, tonight's game, you can do better, you can lead your team to victory!"

The Nuggets' psychological massage on Anthony at halftime is still effective.

In the past two days, Anthony, who had been a little bit unlucky, felt that he really needed to learn from the pain. Even if he couldn't guard against Chen Xiao, he couldn't give up on the offensive end!

Me, Melon, Carmelo Anthony, even if I can't beat Xiao Chen, it's no problem to beat other Cavaliers!

It has to be said that Anthony, who has returned to normal, is really strong, and there are not many people in the Cavaliers except Chen Xiao who can stop him.

Coupled with the strong strength of the Nuggets themselves, this directly led to an inextricable match between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets in the second half.

Although the second half was difficult to understand, the advantage of the Cavaliers in the first half could not be smoothed out like this.

In the end, the much-anticipated game in the United States ended with a score of 93 to 89. The Cavaliers defeated the Nuggets by 4 points at home.

Although the Nuggets worked very hard, they fell short in the end.

At the moment when the competition ended, Mr. Zhang could clearly hear the sigh of the American colleagues on the scene.

In this campaign, as the youngest NBA finals FMVP, Chen Xiao proved that he is the strongest young player in the NBA. He scored 16 of 26 in the game and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the game. comprehensive data.

Like Chen Xiao, James played 41 minutes and scored 3 of 11. He scored 7 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Jen was perfect.

Anthony was 9 of 18 in the game and scored a Nuggets-high 22 points. As a rookie, he performed equally well.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian performed so well in this game. After the game, the American reporters and American audience who were looking forward to the confrontation between James and Anthony felt a little bit disappointed.

because……

The combined scores of the two are not as high as Chen Xiao's alone, okay?

The American reporters and the audience in front of the TV were a little bit less interested, but Mr. Zhang and the audience in front of the Chinese TV were not at all indifferent.

Very happy.

"Our Xiaobao is the protagonist of the NBA's young generation, the strongest player!"

Even at the end of the game, Teacher Zhang asked Chen Xiao about this question.

Teacher Zhang was very surprised by Chen Xiao's answer.

"I don't want to be the protagonist, whoever wants to be the protagonist, I just want to be a big devil, the big devil in front of all the protagonists in the next generation of NBA!"

Hmph, what's the point of being the protagonist, the only big devil, is he unhappy? !

So, protagonists, come on, come and defeat me, defeat me, and you will get the treasure you dream of!

For some reason, Teacher Zhang next to him suddenly felt the exploding secondary aura emanating from Chen Xiao's body.

After defeating the Denver Nuggets at home and winning the long-lost victory after a four-game losing streak, the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards, the Knicks, and the Clippers at home one after another, and achieved a wave of four consecutive victories. win.

The previous wave of four-game losing streak, followed by a wave of four-game winning streak, which allowed the Cavaliers to reach a record of 6 wins and 4 losses, from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and rushed to the top eight playoff positions in the Eastern Conference.

I have to say that the Cleveland Cavaliers really have a bit of bullying this season.

Well, except for the Nets.

In fact, in the NBA, if you just want to enter the playoffs, there is actually no problem in bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

It should be said that bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the only way to enter the playoffs.

As for wanting to make a difference in the playoffs, it is difficult.

Therefore, for the performance of the Cavaliers this season, most experts in the league feel that there are surprises, but the surprises are not big.

But obviously, after playing ten games this season, the Cavaliers were able to rank in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. This is a surprise for Cavaliers fans!

It's not easy, it's been five years, and the Cavaliers haven't dared to imagine the playoffs for five years!

The performance of Chen Xiao and James leading the Cavaliers in the first ten games this season undoubtedly made the Cavaliers fans very satisfied.

As a high school rookie, Xiao Zhan averaged 21+6+8 in the first ten games, which definitely met their psychological expectations, and even exceeded them.

In the first ten games, Chen Xiao averaged 20.7 shots and 10.7 shots per game, and averaged 28.8 points, 5 rebounds and 6.9 assists with a shooting rate of 51.7%, which surprised the Cavaliers fans.

After all, at the start of the new season, the biggest expectation of many Cavaliers fans for Chen Xiao is to become the first player in the history of the Cavaliers to average 25 points per game.

Cavaliers fans don't even ask Chen Xiao to average more than 27 points per game like he did in the Nets.

You only need to average 25 points per game. As for the shooting percentage, there is no requirement.

Obviously, Chen Xiao's performance in the first ten games of this season definitely far exceeded the expectations of Cavaliers fans.

It also far exceeded what the Cavaliers management expected Chen Xiao to do.

Therefore, in Cleveland now, the combination of gods and kings is everything!

The combination of Chen Xiao and James played so well at the beginning of this season. The fans are happy, the management is happy, Chen Xiao is happy, and Xiao Zhan himself is also very happy.

Regardless of the average 21+6+8 per game or the team's playoff zone, this makes James very happy.

He is a very smart kid, and he knows very well what the Cavaliers will look like under his leadership if they lack a player who averages 28.8+5+6.9 per game.

Even without Chen Xiao, Big Z and Ricky Davis of the Cavaliers would not leave either.

But to be honest, the combination of Big Z and Ricky Davis may not be as useful as Chen Xiao.

At the very least, when they were playing against the Nets, without Chen Xiao, they would definitely not be able to win!

As the Chosen One, if it weren't for the stats of 21+6+8 and the bottom position in the playoff zone, how much pressure would he have?

The Chosen One, with bad statistics and the bottom record?

Isn't it shameful?

At that time, the pressure will be overwhelming!

It can be said that this season, Chen Xiao blocked most of the wind and rain for him.

Although the public opinion in the United States is that the performance of the Cavaliers this season is not a big surprise.

Not a big surprise, but a big surprise to him!

He thought that after he came to the NBA, he would be so stressed that it would be difficult to breathe. Who would have thought it would be so easy?

Well, everyone in Cleveland is very happy, except maybe the other two men and a woman in Xiao Zhan's family.

"LeBron is enjoying it more and more now."

"He has begun to get used to everything that Wonder Boy has brought him, and he has slowly lost his ambition!"

feeling bad!

"There shouldn't be a god on the king's head!"

There shouldn't be a god on the king's head, but he just wants to have a god.

No solution.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won four consecutive victories recently. The record is very good, and everyone is satisfied.

But as the head coach of the Cavaliers, Carlisle also knows what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

The four-game winning streak brought a lot of false prosperity.

Not to mention winning is an underdog.

As far as the games against these underdogs, the Cavaliers have exposed a lot of problems.

Those old problems will not be repeated.

The new problem is that the Cavaliers are relying more and more on Chen Xiao and James.

The team does not have a reliable third scoring point.

The team's starting and bench scoring all depend on these two.

If both of them are in good condition, that's okay, but if one of them is not in good condition, the team will be lame.

"I don't want a third star who has a stable contribution on the offensive end. Even if you give me a stable output that only has offense and no defense, it will do!"

After thinking about it, he couldn't even find such a player.

On November 15, 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers ushered in a challenge from the Philadelphia 76ers.

In this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the 76ers 91 to 100 at home. In the end, the Cavaliers also ended their previous four-game winning streak.

In this game against the 76ers, the Cavaliers failed to solve Iverson's offensive point from the beginning to the end of the game.

The combination of Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan is really tall, but it seems a little too tall.

When I was in the Nets, the guard combination of Chen Xiao and Ji Ge was very afraid of Iverson.

Now in the Cavaliers, it seems that there is no other way to take Iverson.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan couldn't help it, so should Xiao Mo send it up?

In the playoffs of last season, the game against the 76ers was the most difficult round of the playoffs between the Nets and Chen Xiao. At that time, although Chen Xiao's strength was not as strong as it is now, it was already very strong. The entire series averaged 24.25 points, 38.6% shooting.

In the playoffs last season, the inside combination of the 76ers Mutombo and Kenny Thomas was evaluated by the Nets coach Byron Scott as the strongest defensive inside combination in the East.

Larry Brown is gone this season, but the framework of the 76ers left by Larry Brown is still there.

Although the overall strength of the 76ers has declined, their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Of course, Chen Xiao wasn't to blame for losing the game against the 76ers.

Chen Xiao scored 12 of 19 in this game, with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks. He performed very well.

This is also where the 76ers have fallen compared to last season's playoffs.

In the playoffs last season, Chen Xiao scored the most points against the 76ers with 28 points, but his shooting percentage was 9 of 26. In the end, he used the scoring experience card to win the game.

Without Larry Brown, the 76ers' defensive tenacity is declining.

However, although the defensive tenacity of the 76ers has begun to struggle against Chen Xiao, it is still very effective against rookie Zhan.

Facing the 76ers' two not-so-easy inside combinations, Zhan scored 5 of 16 in this game and only scored 15 points, but he had a lot of rebounds, grabbing the team's most 15 rebounds.

"What the Cavaliers lack is not rebounds, but scoring..."

Rick Carlisle looked at the scoring average of the Cavaliers players this season, except that Chen Xiao and James averaged more than 20 points per game, and they scored 50 points per game.

The highest scoring average by any other Cavaliers player is Darius Myers' average of 8.5 points per game...

So as long as either Chen or LeBron has an offensive problem during the game, no one else can make up for it.

Just when Rick Carlisle was having a headache and his offensive players were too stretched, the East, Washington DC.

In the game between the Spurs and the Wizards, the Spurs coach Popovich, who lost to the Wizards 95 to 101 in the away game, was troubled by the team's lack of defensive players, especially the inside defensive players.

Team boss Ron Howard with Bowen and Arenas' outside defense is fine, but Duncan is gone, David Robinson retreated to the Spurs, there is really no one inside!

This season forced him to play against others like the Warriors in the Spurs.

Not to mention, although Arenas is scolded by him every game, this kid is really good at attacking.

The match was almost won by him and Ron.

"Ron, what are you looking at?"

Losing another game, the Spurs' solid bottom-to-last record made Arenas a little dissatisfied with his performance. He knew that Ron Howard was actually not very satisfied either.

No matter what, if you lose, you lose.

Although the performance of the two in the Spurs this season is considered by many experts and media fans to be a surprise for the Spurs.

"It's going to be a game between the Cavaliers and the Heat."

After Ron Howard finished speaking with a smile, Arenas suddenly realized.

I asked Brother Luo why he was in such a hurry this time, he couldn't care less about being dissatisfied with his performance.

Brother Luo usually really cares about Boy Chen.

"You two have a great relationship."

Arenas was a little envious.

"Shouldn't it be us?"

After Luo Ge finished speaking, Arenas' eyes lit up.

Yes, although I am very dissatisfied with Wonder Boy, he doesn't know, since he doesn't know that I want to backstab him, then we are good buddies now!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Happy.

Seeing Arenas giggling, Rogo laughed.

This kind of eccentric 'silly boy' can be restrained.

Roger, you can really do it!
