I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 18, 2007, the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the G6 Finals between the Bobcats and the Lakers will begin at the Bobcats' home court.

Because the Bobcats are now just one game away from winning the championship, there is a group of special guests before this game.

NBA president David Stern and Celtics legend Russell have also come here at this time. This is to award the championship trophy and FMVP trophy to the possible championship team in this game.

Therefore, when the two old men appeared on the big screen at the scene, the Bobcat fans at the scene were shocked again.

After feeling the enthusiasm of the Bobcats fans at the scene, David Stern also showed a charming smile on his face.

After all, this year's finals are really popular!

The ratings of the finals between the Bobcats and the Lakers have surpassed the highest ratings in the history of the NBA Finals, the ratings of the Nets and the OK Lakers in 2003.

In the past few years, because the nba has entered the golden age, the cultivation of NBA fan groups has been very successful, and the number and enthusiasm have grown rapidly. Therefore, whether it is the ratings of the regular season or the ratings of the playoffs in the NBA, it has been repeated. Innovative high.

And not top ratings, but average ratings.

It can be said that the increase in NBA attention now is an overall increase, not a siphon effect of a certain team or a certain star.

Even if it is Chen Xiao, the number one player in the league, although he is the number one in the United States, he cannot be the only one.

Ray Allen, James, Kobe, Carter, etc., there are many players in the NBA who can stand up to Chen Xiao.

It can be said that in the current NBA, every team has a star who is enough to attract local fans, and every place has a prince who is strong enough. The entire NBA now seems to be as exciting as a separatist regime and a hundred schools of thought contending.

How can such a world of great contention not make fans like and look forward to it?

Let’s just talk about this year’s playoffs.

Before the start of the playoffs, who would have thought that the Lakers and Bobcats would finally gather in the Finals?

Before the start of the playoffs, David Stern's prediction was the Heat and the Spurs.

In fact, most people are predicting the Heat and Spurs.

The first favorite in the East is the Heat, the second favorite is the Nets, and then it's the Magic and Bobcats' turn.

In the West, the first favorite is the Spurs, the second favorite is the Suns, the third favorite is the Mavericks, and then it is the turn of the Lakers, Timberwolves and Nuggets.

Neither team was the favorite in their division, but they miraculously reached the finals.

This can only be said that the teams in the top regions of the Eastern and Western Conferences are very close in terms of strength.

This means that in the future, the NBA will be a real "world of great competition" where anyone can enter the finals, and the NBA will usher in a real peak in the next few seasons.

And this season is the first season at the peak of NBA history!

How does this not excite David Stern?

While David Stern was alone and excited, on the court, China's Bynum and Gasol, the starters of the two teams, had already started jumping the ball.

The result was somewhat unexpected but not very unexpected. Bynum successfully lost to Gasol.

The jump ball between Gasol and Bynum in this series is really interesting. Every time the Bobcats win the last game, they lose the next game.

This kid Bynum can really float.

It’s really a typical example of everything that shines brightly when given a little sunshine.

According to Xiaopao, this kid is a brain-dead, and he is hopeless. How can a normal person always go up and down in a pit and climb up and down the pit?

It’s not like a kid playing a game and thinks this is fun.

However, although the Bobcats players had a lot of complaints about Bynum's young IQ in this finals, it has to be said that in this series between the Bobcats and the Lakers, the Bobcats really cannot lack Bynum. Nahm's defense.

After Chen Xiao was tightly restrained by Kobe, the Bobcats' interior defense really needed Bynum to sit at the basket, otherwise it would be Randolph alone, whether with Aldridge or Gortat. Being sieved.

Back in the game, after Bynum failed to jump the ball, he didn't show any frustration on his face. On the contrary, he was still clamoring in front of Gasol.

If Gasol was still competing with Bynum when the finals just started, now Gasol has directly blocked this idiot.

If you really want to compete with this idiot, it will really make people doubt his own IQ.

Therefore, when Bynum wanted to show his toughness at home after the jump ball, Gasol had already trotted forward.

As a high draft pick, Gasol's athletic ability is very good.

Otherwise, do you think Bynum is floating, and Gasol can easily beat him with a jump ball?

If Gasol didn't have strong enough athletic ability, Bynum would not be able to win even if he drifted away.

After being ignored by Gasol and running up Gasol, Bynum reacted and followed back to the defense cursing.

"This kid is so obsessed with eating that he doesn't even remember beatings!"

"No, Zhang Lai, I don't think he remembers to eat either."

Well, facing Xiao Su's complaints, Teacher Zhang didn't know how to complain for a while.

After all, what Xiao Su said was really good. This kid not only doesn't remember to play, but also doesn't remember to eat. His memory seems like a fish's memory, and he always makes mistakes he made before on the court.

but!

"Bynum's talent is really good!"

Seeing Bynum let Gasol run first and then catch up from behind with curses, Teacher Zhang also sighed sincerely.

You know, Gasol is also considered a talented insider.

It can only be said that Bynum does not have a brain that matches his talent.

Even if Bynum only had a normal mind, the Bobcats would be invincible in the future.

Gasol wanted to make a sneak attack while Bynum was showing off his IQ.

But when he came to the three-point line, just after receiving Kobe's lob, Bynum caught up with him.

Looking at this brainless young man, Gasol gritted his teeth and glanced at Baron Davis who cut to the basket but was chased very tightly by Paul this time. Gasol faced Bynum at the free throw line The defense directly threw it from mid-range.

After Bynum showed his unparalleled athletic talent, Gasol also showed his ordinary but extremely accurate mid-range shooting ability.

Bynum's defense was in place, his hands were blocked, and he made defensive moves, but he still couldn't stop Gasol's tiptoe mid-range shot.

With a snap, 2 points were scored, and the Lakers, playing away from home, took the lead in the game.

It can be seen from Gasol's very decisive shooting that after the previous five games, the players on both sides are already very familiar with each other.

Basically, there is nothing that you don’t understand and you will hesitate when encountering something.

And Gasol, the second in command of the Lakers, performed really well in this finals.

In this finals, if Chen Xiao and Kobe are the two best performers, then Gasol is the third one after Chen Xiao and Kobe.

In the first five games, Gasol averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game, shot 62% from the field, and averaged 2 blocks and 3 assists per game. It can be said that he performed extremely well on both offensive and defensive ends. .

In the past, Gasol gave people the impression that he was a European insider and was a bit soft. But after this finals, no one will say that Gasol is soft in the future.

This one is really not soft at all.

At critical moments, the most reliable player around Kobe is Gasol. Others like David West and Odom are not as good as him. As for Baron Davis, it is even more so.

Baron Davis is very tough in this finals, and he and Xiaopao have already died together.

However, Xiaopao will not attack in this finals, and Baron Davis is simply iron.

On the court, the Bobcats attacked, and Xiao Pao dribbled the ball and prepared to slowly cross the half court.

In this finals, the Bobcats' rhythm was a bit slow.

After all, the Bobcats have two heavy big men, Bynum and Randolph.

Therefore, if the pace of the game is really brought up, the Bobcats will be the one who suffers the most.

Of course, the Bobcats play slowly, and the Lakers have no intention of playing fast.

why?

The main thing is that Odom is on the flank of the Bobcats. If this point is too fast, mistakes are easy to explode.

Therefore, this series between the Bobcats and the Lakers is really quite interesting, and the two teams played very restrained.

It is precisely because of such restraint and the need for positional warfare that the two teams played extremely fiercely.

However, the pace is slow and slow, but the Lakers still often harass the advancement of the small cannons.

Especially Baron Davis, he always likes to use his strong body to lead defense or press him.

Only this time, to Xiaopao's surprise, Baron Davis didn't give him any strength at the beginning!

Not only was there no defense and pressing, but even when the small cannon was advancing, Baron Davis' body was always sideways to Chen Xiao. This defensive posture was all too familiar.

"This is a double team!"

The Lakers are really going to double-team Chen in this game!

Xiao Pao was slightly surprised. His head coach Jordan guessed the intentions of Phil Jackson and the Lakers in advance.

Sure enough, it’s better to know your father than your son!

However, after a brief moment of astonishment, Xiao Pao's two big eyes lit up.

Judging from the Lakers' first defense posture, this team is going to be double-teamed in this game.

However, the pass must be passed, and even if it is a true double-team, it needs to be directly verified.

Therefore, after Xiaopao pushed the ball to the three-point line, he handed the ball to Chen Xiao in the bullhorn area on the right, and Baron Davis, who was a little ahead of the free throw line, saw Xiaopao pass the ball to Chen Xiao, and he didn't mind it. The little cannon, who was in charge of moving, headed towards Chen Xiao.

With Chen Xiao's shooting speed and height, by the time Chen Xiao received the ball, it was already too late to double-team.

It is definitely necessary to make predictions in advance.

Moreover, not only Baron Davis predicted in advance to double-team Chen Xiao, but other Lakers players also faced Chen Xiao after passing the ball.

This posture is all too familiar to Jordan on the sidelines.

That's what the Pistons did to him back then.

When he gets the ball, the entire Pistons team is facing him. As long as he breaks through, the entire Pistons team will surround him and kick and punch him.

Those years were the most difficult and painful years for him in the NBA.

However, looking back at that period of time after he has become famous now, it is another period of very nostalgic and sighing years.

Seeing that Phil Jackson and the Lakers were going to apply Jordan's rules to Chen Xiao, Jordan looked forward to it.

At this time, the commentators from various countries on the sidelines became excited at this time.

"Jordan's Rule, the Lakers will use Jordan against Wonder Boy from the beginning of this game, otherwise!"

"As the number one player in the NBA and the player with the strongest offensive ability in NBA history, if he has not been used in the finals in his career, Jordan's law will make people wonder if his offensive deterrence is really so powerful. powerful!"

"Now, for the first time in his career, Wonder Boy meets Jordan's Law in the Finals!"

At this time, Barkley was very excited, the audience at the scene was in an uproar, and the audience in front of the TV was waiting to see what happened.

As for Phil Jackson on the sidelines, he was both nervous and excited.

This is his last bargaining chip.

For him and the Lakers, this was the first defense of the game.

But, this is not the beginning.

This is Stud!

On the court, after receiving a pass from Xiao Pao, Chen Xiao faced Baron Davis who was coming over and other Lakers players who were ready to start at any time.

After Chen Xiao caught the ball, he used his long arms to hold the ball with one hand and leaned against Kobe.

The moment Baron Davis came to Chen Xiao's side, Chen Xiao swung his right hand holding the ball behind Kobe, and the basketball passed through Kobe, Odom, and David Wei Ste, flew straight to the line between Cannon and Granger, who had already moved to the basket.

"Not Paul!

Paul missed it, Paul helped Granger block the person!

It's Granger! "

Granger, who received a pass from Chen Xiao, faced Gasol's interference and assisted defense and flew under the basket for a layup!

Gasol's help in defense was timely, but Granger was too tall, had too long hands, and at the same time, his basic offensive skills were too good.

Therefore, after receiving this extremely exquisite pass from Chen Xiao, Granger was really excited when he hit a layup.

"Beautiful, this pass is so beautiful!"

"I thought that when facing Jordan, otherwise, Wonder Boy would be like Jordan, either aggressively attacking N, or breaking through and letting his teammates shoot. I really didn't expect that Wonder Boy would use such a chic, easy and freehand This method completely breaks Jordan’s Law!”

Chen Xiao's cooperation with his teammates in the face of Jordan's rules was indeed beautiful, so it was not just Barkley and the audience who were amazed.

Kobe and the Lakers players on the court were also incredible.

"Can such a ball be passed?"

Kobe thought he saw Kidd.

Although he knew that Chen Xiao's passing was taught by Kidd.

But Kidd may not even be able to pass such a pass!

Because Kidd is not as tall as Chen Xiao!

Facing Kobe's shocked gaze and Phil Jackson's dull gaze on the sidelines.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

Jordan's Law?

A hitter with a height of 2.03 meters, a wingspan of 2.21 meters, a 100-point IQ, a 100-point touch, and a 95-point pass.

These data and attributes have such an effect when faced with Jordan's Law!
