Chapter 921 The Mind of the Basketball God!
Chen Xiao's return to New Jersey from Asia received unprecedented attention.
Not only the local fans in New Jersey, but also the whole country is paying attention to Chen Xiao's return.
This is not an accident that happened to Chen Xiao in South Korea.
Instead, the main highlight of the NBA next season will be Chen Xiao's career milestone of 50,000 points.
Chen Xiao has now scored 49,999 points in his career, and is one point away from reaching 50,000 points.
This is something that the United States is paying attention to.
Therefore, American media, Chinese media and even sports media around the world and basketball fans on the Internet are paying attention to and tracking this matter.
Therefore, after Chen Xiao returned, New Jersey really gathered a lot of media.
Even CCTV is doing a continuous live broadcast of Chen Xiao's 50,000 career points.
I am going to record every moment when Chen Xiao returns to New Jersey.
For Chen Xiao now, it is really a moving spotlight.
Therefore, if you have never seen these Nets players, you will really find it incredible.
However, considering Chen Xiao's historical status and achievements, it is reasonable for him to receive such a large amount of attention.
In short, for the Nets players, they have never seen so many media and reporters in the training hall.
Even outside the venue, they were surrounded.
Chen Xiao will return to the Nets training facility to start team training on October 10th, US time.
In fact, the Nets have almost started training camp for a month at this time.
Even the preseason has been played for 10 days.
The NBA preseason for the new season is on September 29. The defending runner-up team will play the Wizards (the defending champion Warriors are playing in the International Federation Cup).
The Nets' first preseason game is against the 76ers at home on October 3.
Chen Xiao was still watching the Women's Basketball World Cup in South Korea at the time.
However, Xiao Chen flew back to the United States immediately after the Men's Basketball World Cup ended, so he participated in the Nets' first preseason game this season and also made his debut at the Nets' home court.
As the No. 1 pick in this year's draft that has also attracted much attention, in his first NBA game, Xiao Chen played 22 minutes, shooting 7 of 12, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 rebounds. assists.
To be honest, although it was a pre-season game, Xiao Chen's debut was indeed amazing.
That kind of basketball style with heavy swords, no edge, no skill, and every move is the most standard action. Although some people think it is a bit boring and not interesting, but for the beauty of this simple and standard efficiency, Many people still appreciate it.
Especially Xiao Chen is the son of the basketball god.
As for what the basketball style of the son of the God of Basketball is like, before Xiao Chen became famous, most people could only imagine that maybe he could inherit Chen Xiao’s kaleidoscope style, maybe it would be as elegant as wheat, maybe it would be like Jordan is so grand, maybe he is as passionate as Kobe, etc.
Most people have never thought that Xiao Chen's playing style is so unpretentious and standard.
But then when these people thought about it, they all felt that such a simple and extremely standard basketball style was the most suitable for being the son of the basketball god.
Because everything is the opposite of Chen Xiao.
The whole world knows that Chen Xiao is the most gorgeous basketball player and a player who became a monk halfway.
But Xiao Chen has been exposed to basketball since he was a child. From the first time he played basketball, Chen Xiao used the system's most stringent standards to train all movements and techniques.
Whether Xiao Chen is playing Jordan, wheat or Kobe style basketball, people will think that he is Chen Xiao's son.
Only by playing this kind of basketball style that is impossible for Chen Xiao to play can he be his true self and the most qualified son of the basketball god.
The son of the God of Basketball, of course, had better not repeat something from the God of Basketball.
It would be best if you can make your own path.
Just like during this year's NCAA finals, the commentator said that the ordinary spectator next to him was Luna's old father.
All in all, after Xiao Chen's much-anticipated NBA debut, he received very positive reviews.
The preseason debut of Xiao Chen and the 76ers was not only broadcast live in the United States, but also in every country in the world that can broadcast the NBA live.
Many fans who don't know the NCAA and don't watch international basketball games will really feel astonished when they see Luna Xiaochen's basketball for the first time.
After all, Xiao Chen's playing style is even the ultimate of Duncan's playing style.
Although Duncan is known as a great basic skill, it is also a basic skill. His basic skills are not as standard and perfect as Xiao Chen, a small basic skill.
After all, Duncan is actually a monk halfway, and his movements are not actually that standard.
The standards of solid basic skills and perfecting all movements and techniques are still different.
According to the current NBA's No. 1 commentator with a vicious tongue, Maizi: "Moon's basketball has a special beauty that is extreme and perfect."
After this preseason debut, Xiao Chen has not participated in the game since and has been on leave from the team.
After all, Xiao Chen actually played a lot of games this year.
After winning the NCAA championship, winning the World Cup, and some warm-up matches for national teams, big and small, Boss Ji is still afraid that Xiao Chen will have injury problems.
Therefore, what Boss Ji means is that he hopes that Xiao Chen's second battle will be with Chen Xiao.
Then what is very interesting is that the Nets' next preseason game happens to be the home game against the Bucks 2 days later.
Therefore, after it was confirmed that Chen Xiao and his son would play in this preseason game, the media in the United States even hyped this preseason game as if it were the finals.
I have to say that when Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen, the two biggest traffic kings in the NBA, met the Bucks, the strongest team in the NBA, it was indeed very explosive. Even in the preseason, it would be very explosive.
Therefore, facing such public opinion, the entire Nets team is actually a little nervous.
Let's put it this way, Kyrie Irving, the former boss of the Nets, is a wonderful, wonderful person. Faced with such a situation, of course they will subconsciously adopt the way Irving handled it when he was the boss.
Although Chen Xiao is recognized as the best boss in the NBA, no matter how recognized he is, he has never seen it before.
Let's put it this way, most of the players on this Nets team are young people.
He and Chen Xiao are not from the same era at all. They are separated by countless generations, and there is a generation gap.
Just take Pistons center Drummond. He was born in 1993 and is 29 years old this year. His age is actually considered older in the Nets and he is considered a veteran in the NBA.
However, he is 12 years younger than Chen Xiao.
Another example is Ingram, the former second-in-command and first-in-command of the Nets. He was born in 1997 and is 15 years younger than Chen Xiao. It is indeed an exaggeration to say that he is Chen Xiao’s son, but Chen Xiao’s son, Xiao Chen, is also He's just 5 years younger than Ingram.
Let's put it this way, if Chen Xiao is an ordinary NBA superstar, and he is placed among such a group of young people, and then he has so much focus of public opinion, and local fans also like him, he will definitely be criticized by the Nets. The exclusion of these players.
Don't think that NBA players have very high IQs and EQs. Players with high IQs and EQs like Curry, James and Kobe are outliers.
Most people actually have bad personalities.
We are all millionaires, we are all princes, why should I submit to you and change my lifestyle.
Do you think you are Owen who single-handedly brought us out?
It can only be said that Chen Xiao is the only one in the entire NBA who can do this without being ostracized after changing teams, and it also makes the locals dare not push him. Even James, historically, has not been able to do this.
When James returned to the Cavaliers, he was already a member of the first team of two FMVPs and an MVP. He was a top ten player in living history.
And he himself is the son of Akron, the king before the knights.
With such an identity, returning to the knighthood, wouldn't that be admired by thousands of people and gathered by followers?
But the actual result is that Irving does not welcome him.
Irving said, I have done a good job as the boss of the team. This is my team. Yes, it used to be your team, but you abandoned it, and now it belongs to me.
Therefore, when the witty James returned to the Cavaliers, he said all kinds of good things about Irving. Even James fans affectionately called Irving the little prince.
However, Irving is no little prince. He is the real emperor now. You, James, are actually the emperor of the Cavaliers.
However, compared to IQ and EQ, how can Irving be James's opponent?
James returned to the Cavaliers and teamed up with Irving to win the championship. Logically speaking, it should be Irving, the star of the Cavaliers, who won the championship with the help of outside helper James. At the same time, Irving's performance in the finals was obvious to all, so , in this championship, Irving is the leader, James is the second, Irving is the leader, and James is the helper.
Irving himself thinks so too, so he wonders if he can win FMVP after winning this championship?
But the final result is that Irving, the local dragon of the team, performed well in the finals. He almost defeated his opponent Curry, the MVP of this season, in a single point. Not to mention winning the FMVP, he even got a vote for the FMVP. nothing.
After this result came out, Irving suddenly realized that, unknowingly, his Cavaliers had been stolen by James.
Although James usually says good things about him outside, he always regards himself as a senior leader. Coupled with the praise of the media thugs he supports, public opinion does not regard James as a guest player at all, and even Irving is portrayed as a It's not possible to lead a team with a single core. James will be the younger brother and junior of the Cavaliers later.
Finally, after the Cavaliers won the championship, the FMVP voting results were very real. Based on Irving's performance, you may say that winning FMVP may be controversial, but if there is not a single vote, then it is purely evil.
In the 2018 NBA Finals, although Durant won the FMVP, Curry actually had 4 votes.
Irving's performance in the 2016 Finals was not better than Curry's in 2018?
Although Irving realized later and was deceived by James' sweet words before, when he woke up, he knew that he had been deceived and that he had been cheated, so he had to leave the Cavaliers and part ways with James.
Although Irving later discovered that James was the most suitable for him, this is another matter for another time.
According to a certain master, in terms of playing style, Irving is Jordan and James is Pippen. The two really match up well.
Therefore, when the Yuan team has all-star level local dragon stars, it is difficult for the strong dragon to easily overwhelm the local leader.
In this time and space for the Nets, Ingram has made the All-Star team, led the team to the playoffs, and even had an outstanding game with Durant of the Bucks in the playoffs. The Bucks even averaged 30 points per game in the series.
A proper quasi-star in the league, or even a superstar.
Although Irving acted like a monster last season, and the Nets failed to perform well in order to steal Xiao Chen, his record is not good, but in terms of position and reputation, Ingram in this time and space has no problem above Irving in history.
Historically, James, one of the top ten players in history, could not convince Irving and could only rely on intrigues to usurp the team.
It can be seen how difficult it is for this kind of foreign strongman to get along with the local dragon.
The reason why Ingram didn't make any noise after Chen Xiao came to the team and always regarded himself as his younger brother is not because Ingram has a better temper than Irving.
Of course there are such factors.
Ingram's character is indeed a little weaker than Irving, but he is not as honest and simple as he looks.
After all, Ingram was also a thorn in the NBA.
The main thing is that Chen Xiao is indeed better than the top ten or even top five James in history in all aspects.
James in history, even if he became the so-called second in history, could not study everything carefully and could not convince the public.
But Chen Xiao in this time and space is completely different.
Chen Xiao, that is really convincing.
Even Ingram is unwilling to give up his position as the boss. After all, in the NBA, the boss has too many benefits. The honor belongs to the boss. If the boss is not good, the younger brother will take the blame.
Although it would be easier to achieve honor with strong helpers, the honor belongs to others, and no one wants this.
Therefore, although Ingram has been silent, Chen Xiao actually knows that this kid is definitely not willing to give up the team leader.
It's just that because of his prestige, Ingram didn't show it.
In this regard, Chen Xiao felt like a mirror.
However, after Chen Xiao returned to the Nets training camp, he did not try to get close to Ingram, nor did he ask the boss to trade him. When he went to the Warriors, the Warriors directly traded Alice, otherwise the Warriors would also It would not be so harmonious. Even if Alice had been Chen Xiao's younger brother in the Bobcats before, after becoming the boss, no one was willing to let him go easily, not to mention the younger brother, even if his biological father came. .
Ingram is no Alice.
Chen Xiao is very satisfied with Ingram's strength. Not only is he strong, but anyone who has played 2k knows how much the player model adds to the game.
You are a center who is 1.68 meters tall and has an ability value of 99. No matter how strong you are, you cannot beat a center who is 2.19 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.34 meters, and has an ability value of 82.
Therefore, Chen Xiao knows that he needs Ingram very much.
Although he didn't pretend to be close to Ingram who could be his son on the training ground, Chen Xiao was very generous during the game.
Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao does not need to be as sinister as James in history to win the fruits of victory.
Because James knows that if there is fair competition, his strength will not be able to take away the fruits of victory openly.
Thick eyebrows are very uncomfortable.
But for Chen Xiao, he can say to his teammates, as long as your strength improves and you go to fight for the honor you want, not only will I not stab you in the back, I will even support you to get the honor you want. Want the honor.
In the preseason game against the Bucks, Chen Xiao assisted Ingram throughout the game.
Although he lost the game in the end, Ingram played very well.
In fact, Chen Xiao has been doing this kind of thing throughout the Nets' preseason, playing support.
Throughout the preseason, Chen Xiao even ranked third on the team in shots.
,
Chen Xiao's ball rights are not as good as those of Ingram and Xiao Chen.
Ingram, who had been a bit gloomy and taciturn since Chen Xiao arrived, became cheerful after playing the preseason.
"Now I finally know why God can bring out so many superstars and super-giant teammates!"
"The best boss in NBA history, he deserves his reputation!"
Ingram said with a smile to those around him.
At this time, Ingram didn't notice at all. After this preseason game, he already recognized Chen Xiao as the boss of the new Nets team.
But, so what if you know?
What if there is a boss who doesn't take possession of the ball and puts his teammates first at all times, even if he doesn't have the title of boss?
Based on Chen Xiao's playing style in the preseason and his career reputation, Ingram believes that as long as his strength is in place, whether it is MVP or FMVP, as long as he has this qualification, Chen Xiao will never become his Instead of being a resistance, it will become his help!
If in the end he really couldn't get it because of his lack of strength, then there's nothing to say. He is not a person who cannot afford to lose.
He recognized this way of winning.
He also accepts this method of losing!
Therefore, Nets head coach Kidd was very surprised to find that in just one preseason game, Chen Xiao actually convinced the entire Nets so easily!
can only say……
"I really taught a good apprentice!"
As for Chen Xiao's method, even his master could not do it.
However, this cannot actually be said to be a means, but a mind.
Chen Xiao has a magnanimous mind that no one else can match.
Just like Kobe said, he would not be convinced by losing to anyone, not even Jordan.
But Chen Xiao is different. Chen Xiao has a mind that no one else can match. Jordan is not worthy of such a title as the God of Basketball because he does not have such a mind, although Jordan's mind is already big.
However, it is still far inferior to Chen Xiao.
When you have such a broad mind and can make people believe that you are upright, there are not many people who insist on playing dark in the face of light, but there are not that many.
And what is the basis of such broad-mindedness?
"Of course it's strength!"
Only with the strength of the God of Basketball can you have such a big heart!
