I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the end of G3 between the Cavaliers and the Suns, the morale of the Cavaliers rose to the extreme.

The day after the G3 game, family and friends of the Cavaliers players gathered in Phoenix from all over the United States, as did NBA Commissioner Stern.

Why is this so?

Of course, to come to the scene to witness the Cavaliers win the championship.

Although Chen Xiao has few relatives and friends, there are really a bunch of reporters from CCTV, reporters from Jiangsu Province, reporters from Yanshi, and reporters from all over the country.

The scene on Chen Xiao's side is definitely the grandest.

After all, although the finals between the Suns and the Cavaliers have only reached the third game, according to the current morale and strength of the two teams and the current situation where the Suns are letting the Cavaliers cook and fry, there will not be a fifth game in this series. .

Coupled with the fact that Xiao Zhan's hands were terrible in the last game and his statistics were mediocre, Chen Xiao is basically the MVP of this year's NBA Finals.

With the championship and finals MVP, Chen Xiao will usher in another harvest season in his career.

Faced with such a situation, to be honest, even if there are more reporters from China, it is understandable.

Therefore, on the second day after the competition, under the guidance of Teacher Zhang, Chen Xiao received many reporters from China.

Although the Cavaliers are now in the finals, the Cavaliers did not practice closed in this finals.

So, on Chen Xiao's side, it was really a bit noisy.

Of course, no matter how loud the gongs and drums are, it won't disturb the other players of the Cavaliers.

Because of Zhan's mother, other Cavaliers players consciously handled their own affairs outside the scope of the team.

Compared with Chen Xiao's gongs, drums and firecrackers, James' situation is a bit worse.

It should be said that it is very bad.

Because after the last game, James' mother didn't congratulate James for winning a key game, getting the match point in this finals, and about to win the first finals for Cleveland.

After the last game, LeBron’s mother asked James straight in the face as soon as she saw him: “LeBron, you shouldn’t just have such statistics in this game!”

14 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists, this statistic is actually not bad, but to compete with Chen Xiao for the Finals MVP, this statistic is not enough.

Especially in Zhan's mother's view, James took 14 shots in this game, which is simply unbearable.

No matter how bad the hand feel is, you should not only take 14 shots, and even only 6 free throws. This is absolutely unacceptable.

This means that James has no desire to attack at all, and it looks like he has given up his personal data and focused on defense and assists.

This made Zhan's mother even more intolerable.

Facing his mother's direct questioning, Xiao Zhan was a little angry no matter how good-tempered he was.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhan is indeed a black boy with high emotional intelligence, and his emotional control is much better than other black people. Otherwise, with Zhan's mother doing this, wouldn't Xiao Zhan's family be able to have a 'mother's kindness and son's filial piety' every day?

Therefore, facing his mother's questioning, James took a deep breath and managed to calm down and said: "Mom, victory is the most important thing. This game is very fierce. I can't make the game more difficult just to enrich my own data."

"No, LeBron, you're wrong. Victory is not that important. It's not the MVP championship. It doesn't mean anything to you at all!"

“!!!!!!”

Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard his mother say such heartbreaking words. To Xiao Zhan, this was just like the rebellious words of the devil.

What does it mean that victory is not that important?

How can Cleveland win a championship without winning?

A championship that is not MVP means nothing?

Am I not a Cavalier, am I not from Cleveland?

Cleveland's first championship means much more to me than to Xiao Chen!

Xiao Chen can sacrifice his position, data and even MVP in the regular season for Cleveland's championship.

I haven't sacrificed anything, I just haven't gained anything, so it means nothing to me?

To be honest, James was really frightened by his mother, and he was really shocked by his mother's words.

At this time, looking at her son who was stunned, Zhan's mother continued to speak loudly.

"LeBron, in this finals, I hope you can improve your statistics in the next game. At the same time, the next game must not be the last game of the finals!"

"This finals cannot end until your data is not as good as that guy's!"

"LeBron, remember, you are a King. You don't need such pure emotions. There is no other King like you!"

"Mom, that's enough!"

To be honest, everyone knows what kind of person James's mother is, and James' tolerance of James' mother is simply to the point of foolish filial piety in the eyes of many Americans.

No matter how James' mother tried to commit suicide, James just laughed it off and shouldered all the consequences and responsibilities.

It's really not easy.

If you were to be a eldest brother or another black person, and you had a parent who was willing to commit suicide, you would definitely have to cut off the relationship.

Here in the United States, there is no such thing as filial piety.

Here in the United States, parents do not pay that much to their children, and children do not have that many obligations to their parents.

It can be said that in terms of filial piety, James is not only not a typical black man, he is not even a typical American.

James, who basically never gets angry with his mother, actually yelled at his mother this time.

After James finished yelling, he himself was shocked.

And Gloria, who was yelled at by him, was naturally even more frightened.

"Mom, I will not backstab my comrades or betray my dreams."

After James suppressed his anger and finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Mom, go to bed early."

To be honest, it is really not easy for James to have such a mother.

Therefore, James’ idol is Mencius. Not only does he agree with Mencius’s words, but also because Mencius’s life experience is similar to his, he also hopes to have a mother as great as Mencius.

But, the better the dream, the worse the reality.

Looking at James who never looked back, Gloria's expression was as ugly as O'Neal's when Chen Xiao stuck out his tongue in a scientific way.

However, after a brief moment of anger, Gloria regretted that she actually had such a quarrel with her beloved son.

But when she thought about it again, she felt that what she had done was right.

She does it all for LeBron.

She has a clear conscience!

Just as Chinese reporters were busy congratulating Chen Xiao.

When James and his mother had a big fight.

Over there in the Phoenix Suns.

I don't know how many times he has been swept in his career. Perhaps O'Neal, who has been swept the most superstars in the NBA, feels more and more that this finals cannot end like this.

Yes, for him, this finals is indeed not over yet!

It's still only 0 to 3, and it's not the time for him to despair yet.

O'Neal tossed and turned and began to think about his chance to make a comeback.

Thinking about it, he thought of some words and things about his collaborators with dark hearts (psychological masters) when he was in the Lakers, when Phil Jackson and Kobe worked together.

Thinking about it, O'Neal suddenly thought of an answer that might break the situation for him and the Suns.

So, after a night of insomnia, O'Neal hurriedly found the team's head coach Gentry the next day, and told Gentry that he was born out of two psychological masters, Phil Jackson and Kobe. plan of.

After hearing O'Neal's plan, Gentry was stunned.

As a disciple of Larry Brown and a senior brother of Popovich, to be honest, Gentry has seen dark things.

Neither his master nor his junior brother are White Lotus in the true sense.

However, no matter how evil his master and senior brother are, it is due to tactics and competition, not psychology.

O'Neal's move was really heartbreaking!

However, it sounds like it is very feasible.

To be honest, O'Neal has been a wise man in the Suns this season.

Including the clever dismantling of the Cavaliers in the offseason, it was his own handiwork. He made malicious offers to Crawford and Miles, and they were demolished from the Cavaliers.

It can be said that this is an excellent operation that absolutely disrupted the Cavaliers' preparations for this season.

However, no one thought that the Cavaliers would get Raheem from the Trail Blazers and Gerald Wallace from the Cavaliers as a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, O'Neal's plan this season will definitely be successful.

It is absolutely impossible for the Cavaliers to become the Suns' opponents in the Finals.

It has to be said that O'Neill has a little cleverness, and he feels that after he matures, he is indeed a very scheming old critic, which seems to be taught by Phil Jackson.

"Alvin, in the history of the NBA, there is no precedent for a 0-3 comeback in the playoffs, but if our plan can be successful, then we will make history, so I need your support!"

For O'Neill's request, Gentry certainly has no reason to refuse.

After all, he didn't want to be swept in his first Finals, and the support O'Neal mentioned was naturally in the hope that Gentry could help him rebuild the confidence of the Suns players whose mentality had collapsed.

To be honest, in the last game, many players on the Suns actually had a broken mentality. In the fourth quarter, the Suns lost by 10 points and only scored 18 points. This is definitely not what they should be.

On the Suns side, O'Neal and Gentry kept looking for the Suns players to persuade and build their minds one by one.

On the Cavaliers side, on the day of G4 of the finals, Chen Xiao saw that Xiao Zhan, who had been in a bad mood for the past two days, looked even uglier.

Why is this happening?

Because last night, his mother asked him to talk about such things again.

It is impossible for him, LeBron James, to backstab Chen and betray the Cavaliers!

A championship without an MVP is meaningless. For Cleveland, this championship means a lot!

What's more, he still calls himself a righteous person.

His cloak of justice is still hanging at home!

Regarding this matter, James didn't want to talk to Chen Xiao.

The relationship between Xiao Chen and his mother is already very tense, if this matter is revealed again...

James couldn't even imagine how he and Chen Xiao would get along in the future.

Even James doesn't know how to treat his teammates and the team.

For James, there is no need to let Chen Xiao know about this matter, as long as he does not follow his mother's plan.

"Because I'm about to win the championship, I've been so excited these two days that I haven't had a good rest."

Hearing what James said, Chen Xiao nodded in realization.

To be honest, after the team led 3-0, it was not just James who did not have a good rest.

Many people don’t get enough rest.

For example, the team's veterans Barry and Hardaway.

To be fair, Barry and Hardaway really didn't come to the Cavaliers just for the championship.

Barry came to the Cavaliers because the Cavaliers paid him the highest salary.

Full middle class, this is really impossible to refuse.

Therefore, not only did Barry come to the Cavaliers not for the championship, but he also gave up the championship for money.

But I really didn't expect that after so many years of going around in my career, I would win my first NBA championship in this way.

And it’s not something you get by reducing your basic salary, it’s something you get by making the most money.

Of course, Hardaway's arrival to the Cavaliers was an accident. He did not want to come. It was the New York Knicks' deal with Crawford that sent him to the Cavaliers.

To be honest, before coming to the Cavaliers, Hardaway's plan for his career was to finish his two-year contract first, and then find a team with a minimum salary to compete for the championship. With a big contract, Hardaway has no way of thinking about winning the championship.

After being traded from New York to the Cavaliers, although the chance of winning the championship was theoretically much greater, Hardaway still did not think about winning the championship.

But now, everything happened so inadvertently.

Of course, for the Cavaliers, Hardaway and Barry are both indispensable and excellent puzzle pieces for the team.

The Cavaliers are lucky to have them.

Barry is one of the team's most stable three-point shooters. The Cavaliers have such a strong rotation this season. Chen Xiao, led by Barry, Korver and other shooters, are indispensable for their one-star shooting.

Hardaway was an important piece in the Cavaliers' five-forward strategy before Gerald Wallace arrived.

Even after Gerald Wallace comes, Hardaway will be an important puzzle piece for the Cavaliers.

After all, Hardaway still has some strength. Playing 20 minutes in a game, Hardaway still has a very high level, and he is dedicated and comprehensive enough to make up for many of the Cavaliers' shortcomings.

In short, for the Cavaliers this season, it is indeed an unexpected surprise to be able to reach the finals this time and have the opportunity to win the championship.

So much so that while the Cavaliers players are lamenting their luck and surprise, they are full of praise for the team's head coach Carlisle.

If it weren't for his restrained play style tailored for the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers would not have succeeded so quickly.

If Carlisle, like other academic head coaches, doesn't know how to adapt to local conditions, but chooses a tactical system, then finds players for this tactical system, and then hone this tactical system to its strongest point before fighting for the championship, then it won't matter. I don't know how many years.

Well, there's no connotation Adelman meant.

Adelman is also a very good head coach.

It's not like Adelman doesn't want to play this quick restraint system.

It's just that Adelman is not as comprehensive as Carlisle, and he can't play with restraint.

Therefore, when the finals are ongoing, it is not just the Cavaliers players who appreciate and respect Carlisle.

Experts and reporters across the United States are also frantically clearing Carlisle.

Facts have proved that in the NBA, it is really winner takes all. If you succeed, then you are right.

The gap between Zhutou and Zhuge is only one O'Brien Cup.

Back to the finals.

On June 16, 2005, at American West Arena in Phoenix, because the previous big score was already 3-0, there were obviously fewer Suns fans, Cavaliers fans, and Chen Xiao fans in this game. It can be seen everywhere.

Although there are not as many fans as the Suns, they can still create their own noise.

Also because this game has reached the match point, before the game started, the broadcast camera also found the figure of NBA President David Stern at the scene. David Stern not only brought Obu this time Ryan Cup, and also brought a brand new Finals MVP trophy.

By the way, the style of the Finals MVP trophy has been changed.

The Finals MVP that Chen Xiao won in 2003 was a large trophy similar in weight to the O'Brien Cup.

The gold ball above is almost exactly the same size and weight as the championship trophy.

It's big and heavy.

If you can't hold it with one hand, you need to hold it with two hands.

The trophy of the finals MVP in this revised version is much smaller, the golden ball has become smaller, and the base under the golden ball is a long silver wine glass that can be grasped with one hand.

This has many aspects for the players.

It allows players to hold the championship trophy and the finals MVP trophy at the same time.

Before, you had to win the championship trophy and the finals MVP trophy at the same time, and you could only hold it between them. That was so low.

By the way, if Chen Xiao can successfully win the Finals MVP this season, then he will become the first player in NBA history to have the old FMVP and the new FMVP.

In the history of the NBA, the first and only player to have the old and new FMVP is Duncan.

To be honest, Chen Xiao has caught up with a good era.

Back to the game, although there were many fewer Suns fans in this game, the atmosphere of this game was still very lively.

The new Cavaliers fans and Chen Xiao fans can not only make up for the lost voice of Suns fans, but also have a surplus.

"Wonderboy's fans are very turbulent in this game!"

Looking at the Chinese fans coming from all over the United States and even the world, Barkley was also surprised.

The NBA is not without foreign NBA superstars, but there are really not many who are as enthusiastic as Chinese fans and Chen Xiao fans.

"They hope to witness the Miracle Boy being crowned a god here!"

Kenny Smith looked at the Cavaliers No. 24 in the center of the court and was filled with admiration for a moment.

This season Chen Xiao has already won the regular season MVP. He has one team and one defense. As long as he wins the finals MVP, there is no doubt that Chen Xiao will become the god of double MVPs this season.

The All-Star MVP who was so touted in China was directly ignored by Kenny Smith.

"If the Wonder Boy really gets the FMVP this season, this season will be the season of the well-deserved Wonder Boy, and he will also be crowned the first player in the NBA."

Buckley smiled before adding: "Whether some people want to or not."

To be honest, many people in the United States would definitely not want to see a foreigner become the number one player in the NBA.

Don't think that the United States is an immigrant society. It seems to be very tolerant, but in fact, it is not that tolerant.

Especially for those white leftists.

Except for Bai Zuo from Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New Jersey, no one likes Chen Xiao.

Even the Bai Zuo in these places don't all like Chen Xiao.

The white left accounts for nearly half of the US population, and at the same time, they also have a very loud voice.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's reputation in the United States has never been very good.

This year's All-Star Weekend also saw a boycott campaign launched by the Denver media against Chen Xiao.

Therefore, if Chen Xiao wants to be recognized in the United States and become the first player in the NBA, it is basically impossible without an absolutely crushing record and honors.

If there is even a chance, these white leftists and psychological white leftists (although they are black but white, although they are yellow but white) will not give their votes to Chen Xiao.

In the eyes of many people, there is no suspense in the finals G4 between the Cavaliers and Suns.

Therefore, the focus of many people's attention is not on the back side of the game.

What everyone is paying more attention to is how Chen Xiao, the MVP and the first player in the NBA, played his own game in this game and used his own playing style to humiliate O'Neal.

And at this moment, when the game started, Chandler succeeded in jumping the ball, and James pushed the ball through the half court. When James looked at the Suns' defense against Chen Xiao, James was stunned.

Not only James, but even Barkley and Kenny Smith, who just talked about this game that Chen Xiao will become the first player in the NBA after winning FMVP, were shocked.

"The Suns double-teamed Wonder Boy without the ball!"

In the NBA, the rules say that off-ball double teams are not allowed, but this rule is more useless than defending for three seconds.

When the NBA team was guarding Jordan, one person was holding him in front, and the other person was standing next to his teammate, holding his teammate's hand.

This, do you mean double-teaming Jordan, or double-teaming his own teammates?

According to the rules, it is definitely not a double-team on Jordan, but in fact, this is a double-team without the ball. Jordan was directly surrounded by people holding hands.

"The Suns are going to cause trouble in this game!"

"Wonderboy's FMVP may be on the line!"

Seeing the Suns' defense against Chen Xiao on the court, James' mother Gloria, who had been depressed on the sidelines, jumped up excitedly.

“God is still on the side of the Chosen One!”

Nice job, Phoenix Suns, make this guy suffer!

Gloria stood up excitedly and wanted to see the pain of worry about gain and loss on Chen Xiao's face.

But what she saw was...

Chen Xiao, who was flanked by Barbosa and Quentin Richardson, smiled and waved to James to continue organizing the offense and leave him alone!

"He doesn't care at all?!"

Does he really not care about data or MVP? !

Gloria was stunned.

He absolutely did not believe that the person who tempted his son to fall was really the kind of person his son said he was.

There is no such person in this world!

But now? !

Not to mention Gloria, when the Suns' defensive strategy came out at this time, many people wanted to see what the expression on Chen Xiao's face would be like.

Even the cameras at the scene were all pointed at Chen Xiao.

But the smile on Chen Xiao's face was so sincere.

Sincerely, even Buckley thinks this must be true!

"Little Chen..."

James was shocked inside. He felt that his soul had been purified by Xiao Chen again.

In Xiao Chen's smile, his mother's devilish words seemed so filthy!

A championship without an MVP is nothing? !

"Mom, this is an insult to me and Xiao Chen's basketball!"

The iconic tank charge, the iconic slam dunk!

Bang!

James put all the anger he had these days into the basket with the basketball!

He felt it, and his soul became more determined!

Looking at James, whose eyes were extremely firm after coming off the basket, Chen Xiao smiled.

"This is the final teaching."

"LeBron, join me in protecting basketball and making basketball greater!"

Seeing James like this, Chen Xiao felt as if he had completed a major mission, a mission as a person selected by the system.

He got the system not to pretend to be 13 or to satisfy his own selfish desires.

He has a higher mission than FMVP.

A person as talented as Xiao Zhan should protect basketball with him.

Otherwise, the destruction will be limitless!

Therefore, Chen Xiao is very satisfied now.

And looking at the satisfied smile on Chen Xiao's face as he cheered for his dunk, James was deeply moved.

On the other side, O'Neal's face was gnashing his teeth!

I absolutely don't believe it!

I want to see how long you can laugh!

So, the pattern...
