I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 221 He is the god who protects the sky above my kingdom!

After destroying Barkley's mentality, Chen Xiao was very happy. When this fat guy wanted to mess with Dayao last season, he wanted to mess with him. Brother Xiao didn't mess with him for a long time, but he still dared to mess with brother Xiao.

You are asking for your own death!

Chen Xiao was very happy, and Xiao Zhan next to him was also very happy.

Every time he sees Chen Xiao persecuting celebrities like O'Neal and Barkley, he is happy. He also wants to persecute them like Chen Xiao, but he can't, so he always likes to play Chen Xiao's role. In the middle, when Chen Xiao was happy, he was also happy.

Xiao Zhan feels that he always likes being around Xiao Chen so much, except that Xiao Chen is someone who can always really rely on...

"Maybe the open-mindedness in him has always been what I wanted but couldn't get. I want to be like him..."

Even if you can't become him, you can always be by his side and look at him.

"Xiao Zhan, if we win the championship in the future, you can attack him again and take revenge!"

Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Xiao Zhan smiled happily, but he knew that even if he won the championship in the future, he might not be as direct and unabashedly persecuting Barkley as Xiao Chen.

Back on the court, this game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors at home is a preseason game, but for this game, it can be said that the entire Cleveland was mobilized.

Chen Xiao is the biggest star the Cleveland Cavaliers have ever had.

And LeBron James is the king they have been waiting for for many years. The king has finally come of age and can finally rule by himself!

With LeBron's dunk performance before the game and Chen Xiao's mid-circle shooting performance before the game, the Cleveland fans who came to the game almost fainted with happiness.

"This is the greatest night in Cleveland Cavaliers history, by far!"

This shout from the DJ at the scene was both touching and sad.

The performances of Chen Xiao and James ended, the warm-up of the players from both sides before the game ended, and the starting players of the two teams also walked onto the court.

The Cavaliers' starters for this game are point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Chen Xiao, small forward Darius Miles, power forward Donyel Marshall, and center Tyson Chandler.

The Cavaliers are a newly formed team, and the team's starting lineup has not yet been determined. Except for Chen Xiao and James, everyone has a chance.

But it is the first game after all, so no matter how much Carlisle wants to try the lineup in this game, he needs to give face to the big-name players.

The five players on the court in this game are the Cavaliers' five biggest players.

Chen Xiao, James, Chandler, and Darius Miles are familiar to many people, but Marshall may be a little unfamiliar.

Marshall is 30 years old and graduated from UConn.

Well, after hearing that he graduated from UConn, have you made any guesses about Marshall's playing style?

After all, Ray Allen and Hamilton's alma mater.

In fact, although Marshall is a power forward, he does have a very good style of play and is very accurate in shooting, especially good at three-pointers.

With a height of 2.06 meters and a height of 99 kilograms, he cannot be said to be good at defense, but can only be said to be okay, because his body is light and flexible, he can jump well, he has good rebounding awareness, and he is good at grabbing rebounds, especially offensive rebounds.

The best season of his career was with the Warriors in 1999-00, when he averaged 14.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Does this data look good?

It's indeed very good, but why do the Bulls dislike it and don't want it anymore?

The main problem is his playing style, just like Chen Xiao's Nets teammate Kidders, he is too light!

The stability of the offense is too poor. As an inside player, one season's shooting rate is 30%, another season's shooting percentage is 40%, another season's shooting rate is 50%, and another season is 30%. In the history of NBA interior players, I have never seen such a sharpshooter. inside player!

This is more unstable than the Nets' mosquito Kidders.

When the team needs him at a critical moment, don't count on him just because he can shoot well. You really can't!

Such a player has good statistics, but if he is not used at critical moments and his salary is not low, this is very useless.

In the end, Bull thought about it and decided to forget it. Just use it wherever you like. We can't afford it anyway.

So in the end Marshall was sent to the Cavaliers.

To be fair, Rick Carlisle is the coach who single-handedly built the Pistons. Although he is good at offensive training, he is more defensive. He definitely does not like to use players like Marshall.

However, at the beginning of the season, Marshall was a big name and it was impossible to use him.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers' opponent, the Raptors, in this game is point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Laga Bell, small forward Maurice Peterson, power forward Antonio Davis, and center Milicic.

Nash and Laga Bell were good friends in the Mavericks. Nash was traded to the Raptors. After the contract expired, Laga Bell followed Nash to the Raptors. Milicic was the second pick this year, and Antonio Davis was Chen Xiaomeng's fifth choice. The team's old opponent, with excellent defense and strong body.

Small forward Morrison Peterson was the Pippen the Raptors prepared for Carter during the Carter era. He averaged 14.1 points per game with the Raptors last season. He was good at everything and had good three-point shooting. He was considered a bankrupt version of Pippen.

Like the Cavaliers, the Raptors are also rated very low by experts after losing Carter this season, even lower than the Cavaliers.

Therefore, in this game, James wants to come down to earth, devour the Raptors in one bite, and get off to a good start in his first NBA preseason game.

If it were the Raptors led by Carter, James would definitely not be so arrogant.

But isn’t this Nash?

Just Nash?

A third-in-command of the Mavericks, does he have the ability to lead the team?

With Xiao Zhan's character, it would be strange for him to look at someone like Nash who has no talent or past honors.

This is Xiao Zhan's NBA preseason debut, and it is also Xiao Zhan's first show at the Cavaliers' home court. Of course, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers will fully support Xiao Zhan's god coming to earth!

To be honest, Chen Xiao actually felt that this raptor was not very strong.

So, after the game started, Xiao Zhan rushed and killed amidst the cheers of the knight audience, and then, God, uh, not mortal, but directly hit GG...

There are still two minutes left before the end of the first quarter, but at this time the score on the court is already 16-26!

The Cavaliers are already 10 points behind at home!

Chen Xiao looked at the shocked Xiao Zhan on the court and was actually shocked himself.

Is this definitely the Raptors that lost Carter and were considered to be at the bottom of the Eastern Conference? !

Are you kidding me?

It is said that the Raptors left Carter this season, and after Nash came, they may not be able to defend and attack.

The Raptors this season are just trying to please Canadian fans, so they must be an Eastern Conference team that can win games at will, a stone-crush machine.

After all, it was Nash's first time as the boss to lead the team alone, and the new head coach D'Antoni was a former NBA loser who was a bad coach in the NBA a few years ago and came back from a stint in Europe.

This combination, combined with the current low morale of the Raptors, makes it difficult for people to like them.

But as soon as the game started, the Raptors shocked the world.

Do you think David Stern chose the Raptors as the Cavaliers' first opponent in the preseason?

That was to let the Raptor lie in front of the Cavaliers and be ravaged by his biological son and godson.

However, this team, which was lying down and being ravaged, actually resisted and even ravaged the Cavaliers!

Chen Xiao, who was sitting off the court, could certainly see the level the Raptors showed in the first quarter.

Milicic has excellent defensive talent, Antonio Davis has rich defensive experience and is also talented, Pippen Morris Peterson can attack and defend, and what makes Chen Xiao even more amazing is Laga Bell, this defender is like jumping out of a stone. .

Why does it feel like such a role player who can score and defend has never been seen in the NBA? Why did the Mavericks let him go for free?

By the way, why is Chen Xiao doing it down there now?

Of course, after Chen Xiao played the first six minutes of the first quarter of this game, he had to lead the team's substitute lineup.

The first 6 minutes of the first quarter, the last two minutes, plus the full second quarter, this is Chen Xiao's rotation schedule for this game.

"Chen, you go up and replace Kevin, Mo, you go up and replace LeBron, Boris, you go up and replace Donyell, Desaguena, you go up and replace Tyson."

At the order of head coach Rick Carlisle, Chen Xiao came on with the substitute lineup.

To be honest, if it was the regular season, the lineup would have been adjusted long ago.

But, this is a preseason game, it definitely can’t be like the regular season.

Xiao Zhan was quite depressed when he was replaced.

In the first quarter, he made 2 of 6, scoring 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. This performance did not meet his expectations.

At the very least, it doesn’t count as a god descending to earth, right?

But despite being depressed, Xiao Zhan still smiled reluctantly and hugged Chen Xiao.

"Xiao Chen, this raptor is very strange, so be careful!"

He was beaten up with a black nose and a swollen face. With Xiao Zhan's IQ, it would be strange if he couldn't tell!

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhan, I'm very strong!"

After hugging and high-fiving Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao brought Mo Williams, Diaw, and Diop onto the court. Together with Kyle Korver who was already on the court, this is the Cavaliers' current lineup.

This is an offensive lineup with one large player and four small players. It can be seen that Carlisle is going to attack. After all, they are already 10 points behind.

After Chen Xiao came on the court, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of defending Nash.

Nash just walked Xiao Zhan very hard.

Chen Xiao and Nash played against each other in last year's All-Star game, so she knew him somewhat.

Therefore, as soon as he came up to defend Nash, Chen Xiao knew that he would inevitably be walked by Nash.

Facing Chen Xiao's defense, Nash dribbled the ball to the right corner and set up a pick-and-roll with Milicic to block Chen Xiao. He hit a mid-range jumper to turn the score difference on the court to 28 to 16.

Well, after Chen Xiao came up, the Cavaliers fell even further behind in the first round.

All the Cavaliers fans at the scene were shocked.

Our two bosses were taken turns being walked around by a third-rate NBA All-Star from our opponent.

When did the NBA's third-rate All-Stars become so good?

It has to be said that Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan are not good at defending Nash.

His body is too tall and too big to fight for pick-and-rolls. Nash is accurate every time he blocks.

Of course the Cavaliers' head coach Carlisle can see that, but the Cavaliers don't have a reliable defensive point guard, so Chen Xiao and James can only come in person.

Fortunately, compared with James, Chen Xiao has an advantage, that is, Chen Xiao has the ability to shoot!

Xiao Zhan beat Nash so badly just now, why?

Just because the defense couldn't stop him and the offense couldn't fight, he pushed Nash away and went to the basket. Under the basket were Milicic and Antonio Davis. These two big insiders were really hard to kill.

Xiao Zhan can kill 2 out of 6 and score 6 points. That is really a talent that is invincible!

Chen Xiao didn't need to do this when he beat Nash. After pushing the ball across half court, he faced Nash with a three-point pull-up!

With a swipe, hit!

It’s as if Nash is like air!

19 to 28!

Chen Xiao's three-pointer helped the Cavaliers chase the score to 9 points.

This three-pointer really reminded Nash of the pick-and-roll scene between Chen Xiao and Tracy McGrady in this year's All-Star Game, a pick-and-roll combination that really made him tremble.

D'Antoni saw how strong Chen Xiao was against Nash, so he quickly replaced Laga Bell.

As for the Cavaliers, when they were on defense, Chen Xiao and Mo Williams also changed, and he no longer showed off his strength. He really couldn't guard Nash.

Mo Williams was very excited when he heard that his eldest brother had handed over the enemy leader to him.

Starting from defense, climbing up step by step, and eventually becoming Mo Bu Chuan next to his big brother, uh, no, eventually becoming Mo Dribbling next to big brother, this is his dream!

I have to say that Xiao Mo's defensive effect on Nash is still good.

It must be better than Chen Xiao.

Xiao Mo's defensive skills are not good yet, but he can run, fight and trap. That's enough. Just do your best.

A good effect is a surprise, but a bad effect...

It can't be worse than Chen Xiao and James, right?

Xiao Mo's desperate defense brought a little trouble to Nash. Nash, who was chasing, felt that his chance was not good and did not want to attack. He passed the ball to Milicic who was under the basket to pick and roll for him and then cut in the air.

Although Milicic escaped Diop's defense, he was caught by Chen Xiao who was stabbed out from an angle!

Seeing Chen Xiao cheating on Darko, Nash shook his head.

Darko is good at everything, but he is too young. After all, he is only 18 years old.

He still needs to grow, but fortunately, in a rebuilding team, the Raptors, Darko has enough opportunities to grow.

And he also needs the grown-up Darko to hit the Mavericks and hit Cuban in the face!

Let me tell you, Cuban was Nash's boyfriend before. Nash even quit the Canadian team for Cuban.

My heart is like the bright moon, and the bright moon shines on the ditch!

Now, Nash, Cuban’s little licker in Dallas, is dead!

Now Nash is a ruthless avenger!

The Raptors' attack missed this time. Looking back, Chen Xiao faced Laga Bell's defense and used his body to overpower Laga Bell and forcefully broke through to the free throw line. Facing the Raptors' shrinking defense, Chen Xiao passed the ball with his right hand to the left. Kyle Korver in the side corner, Korver raised his knife and hit a three-pointer!

22 to 28!

The point difference has become 6 points!

Seeing that the score difference shrunk to only 6 points, Xiao Zhan on the sidelines was already waving a towel excitedly.

This game is his first home game with the Cavaliers. It would be so embarrassing to lose!

Even if it’s a preseason game, we can’t lose!

In front of Quanmei, his face is really important!

"Xiao Chen, come on!"

The Cavaliers and Raptors are both newly formed teams, and both teams have many problems.

Player-wise, tactically-wise, it’s all there.

Relatively speaking, Chen Xiao and Nash are definitely the most mature offensive cores of the two teams.

"The breakthrough methods of Wonder Boy and James are almost exactly the same. James even rushes harder. However, Wonder Boy is much harder to guard against."

D'Antoni shook his head. When Lagabell defended James, he didn't have to stick so tight at all. He wasn't afraid of James' sudden stop for a jumper, so it was okay for Lagabell to defend against James' breakthrough, even if James suddenly jumped.

But Chen Xiao is different. If Laga Bell sticks closely, Chen Xiao can break out. If he doesn't stick closely, Chen Xiao will make an emergency stop for a jumper.

Wonder Boy's shooting is the best in the league!

Therefore, after Chen Xiao returned to the field in the first quarter and took control of the team, the Cavaliers' offense was obviously different.

Much better than when Xiao Zhan was in control.

When Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan played together before, Chen Xiao played without the ball.

In this game, Xiao Chen wanted Xiao Zhan to descend to earth. Who would have thought that he would encounter the Raptors!

After Chen Xiao came on the court, at the end of the first quarter of the Cavaliers, the score between the two teams was already 24-30.

Although the score is still six points, it is obvious that the Cavaliers have stabilized their pace.

A game that should have been very easy, but played in such an anxious look, to be reasonable, really made the Cavaliers fans on the scene and David Stern and other NBA executives on the scene feel exciting.

The Raptors and Nash are really not giving face.

In the second quarter, there were 8 minutes left in the game. When Nash went to rest, Chen Xiao had already led the Cavaliers to tie the score.

When James and Nash come back again, Xiao Zhan plans to give up control to Chen Xiao in this game.

Chen Xiao decisively refused.

"Xiao Zhan, it's better for you to do it. You said you are going to show me your inferiority in this game. The one in the first quarter doesn't count."

"Little Chen..."

Seeing the smile on Chen Xiao's face, James nodded heavily.

"This time, I must make the gods come down to earth!"

Xiao Zhan worked hard, so, bang!

It hurts too.

"Xiao Chen, save me again!"

"OK, the rescue is over, Xiao Zhan, let's continue to descend to earth!"

"..."

"I will definitely do it this time, Xiao Chen, just wait!"

"Yeah, I'll wait!"

Bang bang!

This time the collision was bigger!

"Xiao Chen, save me again..."

"Xiao Zhan, OK, it's done. Next, it's your turn. Come on, come on!"

"..."

In the preseason game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors at home, the game went down to the last 5 seconds. With Nash's mid-range jumper, the Raptors actually tied the score at 105 to 103 with 5 seconds left in the game. On the road, they are already 2 points ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James' breakthrough was blocked and he missed a shot. In turn, Nash made a mid-range shot. Xiao Zhan failed again.

When Carlisle asked for the final timeout, James, who had suffered a lot of damage in this game with the Raptors, was squatting in the corner and drawing circles.

"Am I going to lose in the first home show of my career?"

To be honest, Xiao Zhan is really heartbroken now.

How many times had Xiao Chen wiped his butt, even if it was once for God? It seemed that there was no God for once in this game.

Is the NBA too difficult, or is the Raptors too difficult?

Not to mention Xiao Zhan, even David Stern on the sidelines was doubting life at this time.

"Are you sure the one we picked is a soft persimmon, not an iron persimmon?"

David Stern didn't know, but on the court, the two teams were making final arrangements.

After the arrangement, the Raptors' new head coach D'Antoni kept emphasizing to his players.

"Be careful with the Wonder Boy, be careful with the Wonder Boy, this time the winning shot must be from the Wonder Boy!"

After the timeout, players from the two teams came to the court. Chen Xiao did not catch the ball, but served the ball from the sideline.

Seeing this scene, many people who were amazed by Chen Xiao's buzzer beater last season were a little surprised.

Including Fatty Ba.

"The wonder boy must have known that his killer performance last season was hard to come by, so he didn't dare to do it this time!"

Hum!

I definitely don’t dare anymore!

How dare you persecute me like that!

Now it's time for me to persecute you!

Put your cowardly person on the arrangement first!

It was just so fast, just 5 seconds, that Fatty Ba was dumbfounded.

Chen Xiao served James from the sideline. The Raptors knew that James had no shooting ability, so they didn't get close at all. James easily caught the ball outside the right three-point line.

After receiving the ball, James did not rush to the basket by himself. Instead, he made a pick-and-roll with Chen Xiao at the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. Chen Xiao popped up to the three-point line at the top of the arc. Nash, who was originally interfering with James, could only Switch defense to Chen Xiao.

Looking at Nash who was already attached to him, Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

Nash works really hard!

However, Chen Xiao still pulled up Nash's defense as if it were air.

Make a strong three-pointer!

Ignored Nash's defense and made a strong three-pointer!

Seeing this scene, Fatty Ba, who had just said that Chen Xiao did not dare to shoot the final shot, felt a little pain in his cheek.

What made Fatty Ba's face even more painful was that after Chen Xiao fell from the sky, he didn't look at the three-pointer he threw out at all. Instead, he took the hand of LeBron James, who was already next to him, and raised it high. stand up!

Seeing Chen Xiao grabbing James' hand and raising it, Nash next to him, the Cavaliers audience, commentators, reporters, experts, and the audience in front of the TV were all dumbfounded.

Including James himself!

This, this is the celebration of the legendary lore in advance? !

Me, I actually want to perform a winning performance with Xiao Chen to celebrate in advance? !

What if it fails? !

But soon, when the crisp sound of a basketball hitting the net came from behind, James' whole body seemed to be excited, and then his whole body even trembled with excitement!

Boom!

Gund Gym seems to be exploding!

"LeBron, win, this is for you!"

Seeing the smiling young man in front of him, James was almost extremely excited!

At this moment, the young man who was smiling and holding his hand in the air seemed to be emitting a god-like light!

I am the king of this kingdom, and he is the god who protects me and the kingdom!

Chen Xiao and James looked at each other.

Next to him, Nash was a little bitter amid the crazy cheers at the scene.

He is still that magical boy...
