I’m Really Playing Basketball

The New Jersey Nets participated in the 2002 Christmas game, so the team did not have a Christmas holiday.

But after playing the last opponent in 2002, the Cavaliers, the Nets players got a two-day New Year's holiday.

Because the Nets' first opponent in the New Year is January 3, there will be no games in the first two days.

So this is because the Nets forced the players to take two days of vacation so that the Nets players can spend time with their families.

If there were only Chen Ling and Ms. Sun in Chen Ling's family now, during such a holiday, of course they would train in the morning, and spend the afternoon and evening in heads-up with Ms. Sun.

However, he and Miss Sun are no longer the only ones in Chen Xiao's family.

Therefore, during the two days of the new year's holiday, Chen Xiao stayed in the gymnasium of the villa all day, and sometimes went to Miss Han's music room to accompany Miss Han to practice musical instruments with Miss Sun, and listen to music by the way.

I have to say that Miss Han is really a genius. She has only been learning for a long time and she can already play the instrument rhythmically.

For Chen Xiao, although it was a bit strange to have three people together like this, after slowly getting used to it, it became less of a headache.

Now is not the time to solve the problem. Waiting for the specific results in a month will be the real headache for the three of them.

I exercised my muscles every day, listened to music, and added some snacks along the way. The two-day holiday passed quickly.

By the way, Chen Xiao added all the two C-level potential cards received by the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month to the offensive movement.

Now, Chen Xiao's offensive movement has reached 80, and his ability and potential have all reached 80, which should be considered a good level in the NBA.

Now, Chen Xiao really wants to practice with Hamilton or Ray Allen, but if that doesn't work, Kobo will do the same!

Of course, Hamilton didn't, Ray Allen didn't, and neither did Kobe.

The first opponent Chen Xiao waited for was the Miami Heat of Wade and Yao Ming.

On January 3, 2003, after the New Year's holiday, the Nets started their first game of the year. They traveled to Miami to challenge the Miami Heat, which has been in the limelight recently and double-killed the Los Angeles Lakers this season.

It is worth mentioning that after the Heat defeated the Lakers in back-to-back games at home and away, they were then double-played by the Hawks at home and away.

With Ricky Davis fired after the team's head coach Lucas, in the Cavaliers' away game against the Toronto Raptors, he scored 29 points in a single game to lead the Cavaliers to an 81-80 lore against the Raptors. The penultimate position was taken away.

Seeing the team beat the Raptors on the road, to be honest, the Cavaliers' management really cried.

Damn it, the coaches can be fired at will, but the players really cannot be fired at will, and they are also the boss of the team.

Ricky Davis is truly an amazing player.

Last season he was only the team's substitute. This season, the Cavaliers corrected him just to make it easier for him to mess up.

But who would have thought that the former substitute of the Cavaliers was really grateful for the Cavaliers' behavior of righting him, and he played desperately every game.

For example, in the game against the Raptors, he played almost the entire game and scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.

It can be said that he single-handedly led the Cavaliers to victory.

The 23-year-old swingman has become the Cavaliers' biggest discovery this season.

James, the Cavaliers want.

But they don't want to lose Ricky Davis. This player who works so hard for the team may be James' Pippen!

After James is in place, as soon as Jordan and Pippen are in place, the Cavaliers can take off immediately.

Therefore, the Cavaliers are very satisfied with this 'Pippen'.

I am particularly satisfied that he has such a progressive heart.

Therefore, no matter how much Ricky Davis makes trouble for them, the Cavaliers' senior management not only cannot fire him, but also encourage him and endure the pain to support him to play better. Do you think it is uncomfortable or not?

Of course it is quite uncomfortable.

Of course, for the Cavaliers' top brass, they hope that Ricky Davis will serve as Pippen for James.

But for Ricky Davis, that's not necessarily the case.

Only a fool would be willing to be Pippen if he could be Jordan!

Closer to home, for one reason or another, the Cavaliers and Heat are now in such a situation where you are strong and I am strong.

Thanks to David Stern's moves this season, the Heat are now locked in the last place in the league by the Cavaliers led by Ricky Davis.

Wade and Yao Ming tried to turn over, but after a long while, they were still where they were, pinned down by the Cavaliers.

After Chen Xiao and the Nets came to Miami on January 3, Chen Xiao and the Nets players once again saw a large number of Chinese media.

The last Chinese Derby between Yao Ming and Chen Xiao was very successful, which led to more and more enthusiastic Chinese media covering the Chinese Derby this time.

And compared with last time, this time, the Chinese media received much better treatment here.

During the last China Derby, when many Chinese reporters interviewed other players from the two teams, whether they were Nets players or Heat players, most of them were very 'shy'.

Calling him shy actually means he is not very interested in Chinese reporters.

Americans have always been very cold, especially NBA players.

But after the results of the first round of All-Star voting came out...

Tsk tsk.

"I love China, long live China!"

Listen to Richard Jefferson's accent. Now for this sentence, it's so standard that it's incredible!

It can be seen that Richard Jefferson has been working hard to learn Chinese these days.

This is the password for the All-Star starter!

There are so many reporters in this game now, this is simply the stage that Richard Jefferson wanted most.

"Chen, before today's game starts, you must take me to accept more interviews with the Chinese media. I will definitely block people and cover for you in tonight's game!"

Look at Richard Jefferson's small body.

Is it just your body?

but.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it still has flesh.

"make a deal."

After Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, Richard Jefferson was so excited that he almost threw Chen Xiao down.

For many stars in the NBA, being able to enter the All-Stars or even become an All-Star starter is really a lifetime event.

In the future, when the team plays at home, they can call out the All-Stars, and wherever they go, when others introduce them, they will be NBA All-Stars.

So, there will be no problems at all in my life.

Jordan is an All-Star, and I am also an All-Star. In the eyes of ordinary people who don’t understand football, Jordan is the same as me.

Very impressive.

Therefore, NBA players can exchange any dignity for the All-Star starting position.

Besides, Richard Jefferson did not lose his dignity.

He is the third in charge of the team.

As the team's third boss, is it a loss of dignity to act as a temporary underling to the team's top 1.5 boss?

of course not!

For an All-Star starter, don’t be shabby!

Didn't Boss Ji become much more active during the interview during this game? Isn't he not as cold as before?

The boss is now at the guard position, and Richard Jefferson is afraid of the competition.

For the forward position, no one can compete with him except Carter. If he doesn't work hard to win the starting spot, he will regret it for the rest of his life!

In short, with the attention of a large number of Chinese fans brought by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the treatment of Chinese journalists in the NBA has skyrocketed.

However, it seems that some reporters, taking advantage of the benefits brought to them by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, do nothing to deal with human affairs.

Chen Xiao heard that there is a psychological master-type reporter in China who loves to make fake news, especially the relationship between Yao Ming and Wade.

For the time being, he is only praising Wade and Yao Ming, and has not caused trouble yet. But if he can create fake news to praise them today, he may also create fake news to cause trouble tomorrow.

Chen Xiao and Yao Ming actually don't like this kind of reporter who, in order to gain a position, will brag without brains today and blackmail tomorrow without brains.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't like it or not, it didn't offend him and Yao Ming, and they didn't care.

There are too many reporters like this, and we can't control them.

So, this time, after Chen Xiao took Richard Jefferson for a walk around the group of Chinese journalists, Richard Jefferson might not have known in his dreams that in China, he was written by some people as touching The orphan was written by another group of people as a chief prince with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

When he really knows Chinese and Chinese culture, I am afraid that when he sees his identities in China, he will be so frightened that he will ask himself, who is he? Is my dad my dad? .

Of course, that will be in the future. As for now, Richard Jefferson doesn't care about that. As long as he can make the All-Star starter, he will recognize Chen Xiao as his father!

It’s just that Richard Jefferson is willing to admit it, but Chen Xiao is not!

At 8 o'clock in the evening on January 3, and at 8 o'clock in the morning on January 4, China's BJ time, the game between the Nets and the Heat started on time.

This time is still very friendly to domestic fans.

Because today is Saturday, BJ time.

I have to say that David Stern has really worked hard to make domestic fans comfortable watching the game.

Therefore, this Chinese derby is still popular in the country.

But in America, that's normal.

This is not a nationally televised game.

This game was not as tense as the last time the two teams met, and there was no gimmick like the first meeting between Chen Xiao and Wade.

So the attention of this game is average.

However, due to the small attention, the confrontation between the two teams was much easier this time.

There have been 32 games played now, and it can be said that the schedule is almost halfway over.

At this time, the prospects of the two teams this season are already very clear.

The Heat basically have no hope of the playoffs.

8 wins and 23 losses, this record is really too miserable.

Heat fans really thank the president from the bottom of their hearts for taking care of them. They wish they could thank all their ancestors starting from David Stern, haha.

The Nets' record is 28 wins and 4 losses. The Nets' first place in the Eastern Conference this season is very, very stable.

The two teams are not at the same level at all.

So winning or losing is actually not that important.

This is true for both Chinese and American audiences, winning or losing is not important.

But something is slightly different.

What kind of data Chen Xiao and Yao Ming can produce in this game is what Chinese audiences and Chinese reporters are more concerned about.

Of course, there are also things to see in some places that are not paid attention to.

For example, Kenyon Martin hopes that this game can shake up Yao Ming.

Although the All-Star starting lineup is no longer possible, you can't give up like this, right?

He can no longer count on the votes from China.

We can only hope that this game can use his suppression of Yao Ming to win back the American vote.

Maybe, he really accomplished a miracle?

However, Martin's idea is very secretive, because the Nets have an "undercover" of Yao Ming, so Martin's idea is sneaky.

So I don't know at all, and naturally no one is hyping it. Martin is not O'Neal. If you don't tell me, of course no one will be hyping it.

Even O'Neal, if he wants to do 100 points for All-Star Yao Ming, others will hype him crazily.

In short, before the game started, neither Chen Xiao nor anyone on the Net knew that Brother Martin had such ambitions in this game.

It wasn't until Brother Martin kept challenging Yao Ming under the basket and was constantly blocked by Yao Ming that Chen Xiao and everyone on the basketball court discovered Brother Martin's intentions.

In fact, as a little Garnett, if Martin is more cautious, he can beat Yao Ming.

Sneak attack, as little Garnett, you are so comprehensive, don't attack Yao Ming's weakness, and directly attack Yao Ming head-on. Isn't this looking for death?

Therefore, Brother Martin was a bit miserable in this game.

Compared with Brother Martin, Chen Xiao, who wanted to try his offensive moves in this game, played very smartly.

85 explosive power, coupled with 80 running position.

Although Chen Xiao is not very familiar with his abilities yet, with the help of Boozer and Richard Jefferson, Chen Xiao was able to slip away Yao Ming and Wade in this game.

By the way, the Heat's defense this season is actually very good. Chen Xiao said he missed Wade and Yao Ming in this game, but most of Chen Xiao's shots were still defensive shots.

Fortunately, with the new year and new atmosphere, Chen Xiao felt good in this game.

After three quarters, Chen Xiao made 10 of 14 shots and 1 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 24 points.

After three quarters, there was no need to play this game, because the Heat had already lost by 20 points after three quarters.

The game in the fourth quarter was naturally over.

It can be seen from this game that the Heat were not very excited.

After all, the Heat have been suffering recently, having just been beaten home and away by the Hawks, and this game against the Nets was the Heat's third game in four days.

If Brother Martin hadn't taken the initiative to beat Dayao, Dayao actually wouldn't have planned to have five hotpots in one game.

In short, Chen Xiao scored 24 points efficiently in this game, while Yao Ming scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in three quarters. The data of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming definitely impressed the Chinese reporters on the scene and the Chinese audience in front of the TV. Satisfied and happy.

It's just obvious that this game was not so satisfying for Wade.

"Chen, I really want to make the playoffs this season!"

After the game, Wade was helpless.

Chen Xiao also saw Wade's helplessness.

Wade is a mature player who has completed physical confrontation. He is very adaptable to NBA games and schedules.

Until now, like Chen Xiao, there has been no discomfort or rookie wall.

Chen Xiao has enough endurance, Wade has enough endurance and enough confrontation.

At this point, Wade is even worse than Chen Xiao.

But the Heat's other rookies are not so outrageous.

Yao Ming, Russell Butler, not even Wang Zhizhi, who is not a rookie.

After double defeating the Lakers, the Heat's goal for this season has been achieved, and they can explain to the fans any results.

So the entire Heat's morale, which they were holding on to, was instantly relieved.

The body is very tired and cannot make the playoffs. The season goal has been achieved. It is unrealistic to ask the players to grit their teeth and fight hard at this time.

Wade himself knows that he can still rush forward, but his teammates can no longer keep up with his pace and cannot rush forward.

"Xiaotai, I don't think you need to put too much pressure on yourself. This will also put a lot of pressure on Dayao. I know Dayao's character. When he sees you rushing forward desperately, he will lose his strength. , will also rush forward. If there is an injury then..."

Chen Xiao didn't finish speaking completely, but Chen Xiao knew that Wade knew what he meant.

Therefore, after Wade heard what he said, he nodded very seriously.

"Chen, this season I will help Yao adapt to the rhythm of the NBA and accompany him to slowly practice physical fitness and strength. Next season is when we take off. Chen, just wait. Next season, we will beat you." Got it!"

"I am waiting."

Chen Xiao looked at Wade and Yao Ming, who was chatting with Bugs not far away. To be honest, the combination of Wade and Yao Ming is quite exciting.

If Yao can really grow up next season, the Heat will be terrifying!

but……

"Xiao Tai, if you really get the No. 1 pick this season and LeBron James comes to compete with you for the top spot, what will you do?"

what to do?

"Kick his ass!"

Seeing the confident and coquettish big cheeks beating, Chen Xiao gave a thumbs up.

My Tayo, so domineering!

Then take good care of your butt and Dayao, haha!

Defeating the Miami Heat away from home, the Nets continue their Eastern Conference road trip.

On January 4, 2003, the Nets will challenge the Magic in Orlando.

Unlike this simple victory against the Miami Heat, this game against the Magic is definitely a tough battle.

Not to mention the gap in physical strength between the Magic and the Heat, there is also a huge gap between the leading players of the two teams.

Wade and Yao Ming, as rookies, performed quite well this season.

But to compare with Tracy McGrady, there is really no way to compare.

This season, McGrady is definitely the best player in the NBA in terms of perimeter strength and condition this season.

The NBA regular season has been going on for more than two months now, which is basically halfway through the schedule.

McGrady's current average data per game is still 32+6+6, in addition to nearly 2 steals and 1 block.

It can be said that McGrady's performance this season has been perfect, both on the offensive and defensive ends.

Especially in his recent state, McGrady has been an explosion.

It is said that the Christmas battle is the headline for Chen Xiao and Kidd.

Chen Xiao and Kidd made the headlines in the past Christmas match not because they had the best statistics, but because they led the team to sweep OK.

So thank you so much.

In the Christmas game, the best player was Tracy McGrady, who scored 46 points against the powerful Kings in the Western Conference!

McGrady led the team with 14 of 26 shots and 18 of 21 free throws for 46 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. It can be said that he defeated the Kings on his own.

That shot, that breakthrough, it really killed the King to the point of darkness!

It's hard to say how the current strength of the four major points compares, but when it comes to the state of this season, there is no problem that McGrady ranks first.

This season, McGrady is in such a good state. The last time he faced the Nets, McGrady was like that again. If Chen Xiao and the Nets were not going crazy in this game, then it would be chic McGrady.

And before the game, the national media was hyping up the last game between Chen Xiao and Tracy McGrady.

"In this game, public opinion across the country is hyping you and McGrady to soar in points. I hope McGrady can win back!"

Therefore, when he came to Orlando, as Chen Xiao's new follower, Richard Jefferson was really worried about Chen Xiao.

After all, in the last battle between the Magic and the Nets, the way Chen Xiao put Tracy McGrady in the headlines was so special.

"Richard, I've said it many times, I actually lost that time."

Chen Xiao has always been very sincere. In the last game, he was actually beaten by Tracy McGrady.

It's just that McGrady was too tough in that game, so there was nothing we could do.

So it looks like he won the duel with McGrady.

"Chen, what you think is useless, you need the media to think so too, and Tracy McGrady to think so too."

In this regard, Chen Xiao had no choice but to be helpless.

McGrady must have known.

The media also knows it well.

However, the media just wants to stir up trouble, what can he do?

Of course there is no way.

The media is so picky, even if McGrady knows that he did not score as high as Chen Xiao in the last game because his hand feeling has nothing to do with Chen Xiao, he still needs to prove himself.

At the very least, he has to prove that he is better than Chen Xiao and that he can defeat Chen Xiao!

It has to be said that the media is really capable of making smart people dance with them.

Helpless, helpless, Chen Xiao is not afraid.

"Maybe for McGrady, I am his favorite opponent, but for me, the Magic are also my favorite opponent!"

His style of play is simply, simply... when faced with a team like the Magic, which has no inside delays.

"In this game, I think I can kill crazy!"

Score high with Tracy McGrady?

Maybe……

hehe.

On January 4th, at 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiao and the Nets came to the TD Waterhouse Center in Orlando back-to-back.

Here, Chen Xiao once again saw the most beautiful calf that fascinated him, no, the most beautiful one-handed ball-handling master, Tracy McGrady.

The number one dasher in the NBA who makes Chen Xiao wish he could hit every shot!

Chen Xiao was very excited to see McGrady again.

Seeing Chen Xiao so excited, McGrady was stunned for a moment.

"TMC, Wonder Boy is good at using screens and running positions. The team's insiders can give you limited help. If you want to score against him in this game, you can only rely on your singles."

"I don't need help in this game. Singles are enough."

McGrady finished speaking confidently, and Doc Rivers nodded like a crazy honey.

There is no way, he really can only rely on TMC now.

Because Grant Hill was hurt again and crying.
