I’m Really Playing Basketball

　　 Before the news of Battelle being traded from the Nuggets to the Nets was confirmed, Chen Xiao and Battelle knew about it.

　　 Because the Nets general manager Rod Thorne is now in Indianapolis.

　　 After the match between the Chinese team and the US team, Rod Thorne also congratulated Chen Xiao and Battelle on the performance of the Chinese team.

　　 Chen Xiao had some doubts before. Later, Rod Thorne told him and Battelle that when Pago would play with him in the Nets next season, Chen Xiao understood why.

　　 Seriously, Pago was traded to the Nets, Chen Xiao and Pago were both very excited.

　　 What's so messy about in the Nuggets.

　　 If you want to mess up, just go on'Shanghai Beach'!

　　 Even if you can't mix up on the beach, you can mix up in Causeway Bay!

　　 This is in line with Pago’s temperament.

　　 New Jersey, which is separated by the Hudson River from Manhattan, if not Shanghai, is at least Causeway Bay.

Haha. Just kidding.

　　 The Nets and the Nuggets, one is a team competing for the championship next to a big city, and the other is a team that is gradually swollen in the plateau and mountains. If there is a choice, anyone can easily make a choice.

　　 So after getting the news that Pago was traded to the Nets, the other players of the Chinese team all congratulated Pago.

　　 "The Nets are the team that competes for the championship. This kind of team does not raise idlers or waste wood. If it is not really optimistic about the bus, it will never waste a team spot by trading the bus."

　　 "The career of the bus is about to take off."

　　 Teacher Zhang still sees this matter quite clearly.

　　 "Hahahaha, it doesn't matter whether I go to the Nets or not. The main reason is that I can play with Teacher Xiao Chen and receive guidance from Teacher Xiao Chen!"

　　Pug said this very sincerely, and there is no hypocrisy.

　　 Moreover, this is indeed what Battelle said in his heart.

　　 He is very confident of his own strength, so he had some opinions on the team pushing Yao Ming to the top, and he had a lot of opinions.

　　 At the same time, he is also very clear about his own strength. He has comprehensive skills and a strong body, but the speed is slow, super slow, slower than O'Neal, which is fatal.

　　Slow speed, his defensive action is easy to deform and foul, he doesn't really want so many fouls, he really can't help it.

　　His defensive action can't support him. He blocked the opponent in the NBA without fouling.

　　 But since Chen Xiao adjusted his defensive posture in the Chinese team, he felt that he had found the defensive action that best matched his speed!

　　 Chen Xiao is correcting his defensive actions in an all-round way, let him stand and defend on the court!

　　This is really important to his career. He is only 26 years old. He still has ambitions for his career, otherwise he would not be "on the bar" with Yao Ming.

　　 Therefore, when encountering Chen Xiao who can change his entire career, Battelle really does not want to be separated from Chen Xiao for a moment.

　　 You must learn the defensive movements and postures standing next to Chen Xiao!

　　 Actually, Chen Xiao changed the defensive posture to Battelle based on the breakthrough experience card. Now it mainly depends on whether he can adapt.

　　 The 26-year-old says whether he is big or small. Whether he can change his previous ‘inappropriate’ defensive moves and habits depends on his own perseverance.

　　 Battelle can make a breakthrough in his NBA career, everyone is happy for him.

　　 "Maybe Xiao Chen and Pago will be the first Chinese players to win the NBA championship!"

　　 Facing everyone's blessings, Chen Xiao and Battelle laughed together.

　　 Now the Chinese team players really like to laugh!

　　 The filthyness in the past is not enough to praise, but the debauchery now has no bounds. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe, I can see the Changan flowers in one day.

　　 This is the mentality of the Chinese team players after they defeated the US team.

　　 It takes chance to be the prime minister after entering the college.

　　The most important thing is that the title of the gold list is well-known in the world and the pride that is realized after blowing the cowhide out!

　　How many lives can there be today!

　　 Even Yao Ming, who has always been modest and prudent, really wants to be as happy as Battelle.

　　 Now, it is the temporary peak of their career!

　　 After defeating the American team, the conditions of public opinion around the Chinese team were very relaxed.

　　Whether it is the Chinese media, the international media, or even the US team media, they all praise them.

　　 unconditionally praised the first team in history to beat the dream team.

　　 No one asked them to win the final World Championship after defeating the US team.

　　 According to the competition system of this World Championship, this is ‘Strongman Locks Male’.

　　 The format of the World Championships is that 16 teams are divided into four groups for preliminaries. In the first three preliminaries, a total of 12 teams enter the semi-finals.

　　 The 12 teams will be divided into groups E and F. Group E is the top three of the AB two preliminaries, and Group F is the top three of the CD two preliminaries.

　　 In the semi-finals, opponents who have played in the preliminaries will not play again.

　　 After three rematches, the top four teams in the group advanced to the quarter-finals, and then the top four of the EF two groups crossed out each other to decide the championship all the way.

　　 It can be clearly seen from this competition system that the US team lost to the Chinese team but was not eliminated.

　　 And it is impossible to be eliminated in the preliminaries and semi-finals.

　　 As long as it enters the knockout rounds, the US team is still the strongest team in the world.

So, don’t look at the US team losing. Basketball players all over the world are caring about it. However, in the gambling company, the US team’s odds of winning the championship are still the first, Yugoslavia is second, but it has narrowed the distance, and the Chinese team is third, but away These two teams are so far away.

　　 There is no way, the American team is hard-powered and strong, and Yugoslavia has restrained the Chinese team.

　　 The Chinese team defeated the US team in an overwhelming state. This is really something that can't be met.

　　The next time he hits the United States, will Karl come up to get A Davis and the captain to send it?

　　 Next time he fights the United States, can Zhu Fangyu fight Pierce twice in a row?

　　 Next time he hits the United States, can Chen Xiao shoot Pierce three times in a row?

　　 Next time they play in the United States, can Xiaoyao Wang and Xiao Weizi still hit those two murderous shots?

　　 can't ask for more.

　　 Ask for more, that's not honey, that's black.

　　 So, on September 1st, because the preliminaries were over, and after a day's rest, the American team, who had recovered, gradually returned from a state of absent-mindedness.

　　 "It is not normal for us to lose to the Chinese team. The next time we meet the Chinese team, we will let them know what the real American team is like!"

　　 "I hope they can go far enough!"

　　 "Wonder boy? He is very funny, hehe, very funny. I like him very much. I didn't entertain him last time. Next time I see him, I will entertain him again, hehe."

　　 Pierce, the head of the US team, was a little irritated by the ‘seeing Pierce’s hand’.

　　 This terrier is not only the hottest sports terrier in China, but also in the United States.

　　 Chen Xiao's ability to create stalks will tell you just ask the Wolf King.

　　 Chen Xiao’s ability to create stalks, it really comes with traffic.

　　 In this regard, Pierce said that if you don't find the court, you will count as a Celtics!

　　 "Xiao Chen, Pierce is threatening us. He wants to play us again in the semi-finals or the finals to avenge us for defeating them, and also named you, are you afraid?"

　　 "Not afraid."

　　O(?Д?) What? !

　　 This is a threat to the NBA's top All-Star players!

　　 In fact, Chen Xiao is really not afraid of Pierce's roll call. Pierce is not Marion, he is afraid of the ball.

　　 In the Chinese team, he doesn't hold the ball, and he doesn't play with the back. He is the ‘cold-blooded and merciless’ sa hand next to Yao Ming and Pago, a most advanced role player, who plays cold arrows. What is there to be afraid of.

　　 Therefore, whether it is facing the concern of Yao Ming and his teammates, or facing media interviews and this topic, Chen Xiao is very sincere and calm.

"I will wait for Paul’s reception, hoping that he can arrive as scheduled. Don’t be like the last game. I waited for him for a long time, but he was still a little slower. I know he wants to be fast, but he is slower and has short hands. It's a little bit, but no one is here."

　　 "So, you help me tell Paul that he was very entertained in the game. I am very satisfied. He tried his best. I don't blame him for 4-4 in the first quarter. Don't let him go to my heart."

　　"..."

　　 After Chen Xiao's iconic teenager's sincere smile was finished, the American reporters in the audience were all stunned.

　　 "Wonder kid was talking trash just now, right?"

　　 "Isn't it? His expression is very sincere, and his tone of voice is very sincere. This is definitely not trash talking!"

　　 "Then he is really praising Pierce sincerely?"

　　 It's obviously a sincere compliment, how do you feel that every sentence is so conscientious?

　　 "I'm afraid Pierce can't help but boast, I just shut myself down without listening to his exaggeration!"

　　 The US team's station, watching Chen Xiao's response to his provocation, Pierce, who had regained his fighting spirit, shut himself down again.

　　 "Poor Paul..."

　　 The other players on the American team looked at Pierce at this time with sympathy and looked at each other a little.

　　 "That vicious beginner, you must not talk to him next time you encounter it!"

　　 If you can do it, you can't beep more!

　　 Pierce is also considered to be the player with the stronger ability to move his mouth in this class of American players, but this lip service is not even a battle and retreat, it is simply a complete defeat!

"That's horrible!"

　　 After a day off during the preliminaries of the World Championships, Pierce provoked the battle, and the first round ended.

　　Pierce was shut down by him again, of course Chen Xiao didn't know.

　　 "Dayao, look, no matter how ugly or vicious the other person is, as long as we treat people with sincerity and persuade them with reason, we can impress each other, Pierce will be moved by my sincerity, and he won't threaten me now."

　　"..."

　　 Yao Ming doesn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

　　 In short, he felt that the angel in front of him, whose wings were slowly fading and turning black...

After a day’s rest on September 1, the Chinese veterans with old arms and legs regained some vitality, while the young players of the Chinese team are under the leadership of the Chinese team’s three outstanding players, Chen Xuande, Yao Yunchang, and Ba Yide. Yes, I can’t wait to kill Argentina.

　　 Defeating the United States, the Chinese team, which has no performance pressure, is really morale.

　　What a mere Argentina!

　　 It was only when the Chinese team rushed past that they found out that they had hit the iron plate.

　　 The brave Battelle, Pago, who fought with the US team in the last game, was kite-flyed by Argentina and couldn't take care of himself.

　　 Argentine starters, from center to defender, everyone has a strong shooting ability.

　　 It’s impossible for Pug to stay in it like playing the US team.

　　 Whether it is Pago or Yao Ming, this game is often pulled out by one or all of them.

　　Bago’s speed, of course, most of the time it was Yao Ming coming out. Once Yao Ming came out, then it was time for Ginobili from Argentina, who was also a rookie in 2002 with Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

　　 The European step, the weird breakthrough, and the spiritual offensive method. After the first three quarters, he played only 11 minutes!

　　 I really don't dare to let Pug go on. Standing on the court feels like I'm going to be fouled.

　　 It doesn't matter if Argentina is strong, and the players in it are all acting.

　　 After the first three quarters, the Chinese team has committed 19 fouls.

　　 Li Nan 3 times, Hu Weidong 3 times, Guo Shiqiang 3 times, and Gong Xiaobin 3 times.

　　 What is this concept?

　　 Five fouls in international competitions will be sent off.

　　 That is to say, after the three quarters, except for Bago who dare not play, the main force of the Chinese team, except for Yao Ming who fouled twice and Chen Xiao who fouled once, all others are in a foul crisis.

　　 How can I do this?

　　 After three quarters, Pago, who fouled twice, can finally show off in the fourth quarter, but the entire Chinese team has Pago in the fourth quarter. Yao Ming and Chen Xiao are three players who are not troubled by foul crisis.

　　 This is too miserable.

To be fair, the morale of the Chinese players in this game is very high, and the shooting percentage is also good. After three quarters, the shooting percentage can still be maintained at 50%. 7 of 14 three-pointers are also 50%. The problem is that the opposite Argentina's shooting percentage. It's 63%!

　　 "This game cannot be played, this Argentina is too weird!"

　　 "The players of the Chinese team have worked very hard. Argentina has restrained the Chinese team too much!"

　　 Director Zhang was also very anxious on the sidelines. He actually wanted to say that if the Chinese team now had Wang Zhizhi, it would be much better.

　　 But, he knows that he can't say that. As long as he says that, the rhythm will be brought up. At that time, the anger of the Chinese fans can completely wipe out Wang Zhizhi.

　　 Now, Chinese basketball cannot lose Wang Zhizhi.

　　 Especially since he got news from above, Wang Zhizhi sincerely apologized after the Chinese team defeated the American team.

　　 The national team is also ready to criticize and educate him, and then let him write a deep review, and then accept him again.

　　 Fortunately, the Chinese team has an outstanding record in the World Championships. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Zhizhi to be re-accepted so quickly.

　　 Awareness was too low, and his head was almost shattered by the close friend of the banana man next to him.

　　 Those who believe those words will lower their IQ.

　　 "The inside combination of Dayao and Bus still has a big problem!"

　　 "It's not easy to get here."

　　 85 to 95!

　　 In the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, Battelle and Yao Ming, the Chinese team played hard against Argentina 23 to 22, and finally took the lead in the single quarter, but in the end the game still lost.

In this campaign, Chen Xiao’s performance was also very stable. He was the most stable offensive player of the Chinese team in this game. He was 10 of 16 in the game, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, winning the highest of the game. Of 28 points.

　　Yao Ming did not perform well in this campaign. He only scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Yao Ming can’t be blamed.

　　 Yao Ming was kite-flying by Argentina for most of the game, running from the inside to the outside, and from the outside to the inside. All his energy was wasted on the road.

　　 Yao Ming was almost full in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming seemed to be unable to walk.

Pago scored 3 points in the first three quarters of the game, but in the fourth quarter, he returned to the field like a beast and scored 10 points in a single quarter. It was the biggest contributor to the Chinese team who finally got a little face in the fourth quarter. .

The overall performance of the Chinese team’s veteran in this game was not good. He was always carrying a foul crisis on his back. It’s only strange to ask Pierce. But the Chinese team’s teenager performed well. Liu Wei scored 12 points and Zhu Fangyu took it. It's 11 points.

　　 Argentina's opponent made the Chinese team's iron fist seem to hit cotton.

　　 "Wonder boy, your performance is great, let us take the next task to defeat the United States!"

　　"..."

　　 oh oh? !

　　 Chen Xiao looked surprised at Ginobili's back.

　　 "Xiao Chen, what did that cunning guy tell you?"

　　 "He said, he wants to do America too!"

　　"..."

　　 Yao Ming looked silly.

　　 When did the American team and the Dream Team become the prey of being hunted?

　　 Everyone wants to go up and take a bite?

　　 Ginobili...

　　 This kid is crazy!

　　 Yao Ming was surprised, but he was only surprised, not thinking about it.

　　 Maybe it's just bragging?

　　 Can't the US team be Santa Claus, right?

　　 can always help everyone to realize the blown cow?

No way? No way? Probably not?

　　 On September 3, 2002, the World Championships lost for the first time, the F group was second, and the Chinese team with 3 wins and 1 loss with 7 points faced the European powerhouse Russia, which lost 20 points to the US team with 20 points in the previous game.

　　 There were some ups and downs in the match between China and Russia.

　　 In the last game against Argentina, Yao Ming, who played almost all the time, had some problems with his right hand. In addition, Chen Xiao was stuck by Russia's leading player Kirilenko as soon as he came up, which caused the Chinese team to start a bit weak.

　　 After the first quarter, the Chinese team trailed Russia 15-21.

　　 In the second quarter, the slightly recovered Chinese team played an intractable match with Russia. The Chinese team was 15-16 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Chinese team was 30-37 behind by 7 points.

　　 This point difference is acceptable for the Chinese team.

　　 Russia has struggled very hard at the very beginning, because Russia wants to qualify for the quarterfinals with 3 losses and 1 win, and it must beat the Chinese team.

　　 It can be said that this game is a desperate battle for Russia.

　　 Russia, who fought so hard in the first half, failed to get the Chinese team down, and it actually hurt Russia's morale a little.

Sure enough, in the second half, under the leadership of Yao Ming and Battelle, the Chinese team tied the score as soon as they came up. At the critical moment, the very uncomfortable Chen Xiao, who was locked by Kirilenko throughout the first half, finally used Battelle and Yao Ming's double screens blocked Kirilenko's pursuit and received a pass from Yao Ming. He hit a 3-pointer from 1 and a half from the top of the arc, helping the Chinese team to overtake the score.

　　 After the Chinese team overtook the score, the rhythm of the game entered the rhythm of the Chinese team. In the end, after a very tragic hand-to-hand battle, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team 78 to 72.

　　 Yao Ming, who suffered a contusion on his right hand, was 4 of 6 and made 5 of 11 free throws. He scored 13 points and 9 rebounds. This free throw was unusual for Yao Ming. It can be seen that Yao Ming's palm contusion was still a little uncomfortable for him at the beginning.

　　Bago, still brave, scored a game-high 18 points.

In addition, this game was posted by Kirilenko's very dead Chen Xiao, who was 5 of 13 in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 17 points. He was the first in the game. Two high scores.

　　 After the match with Russia, the Chinese team with 4 wins, 1 loss and 9 points has confirmed the qualifying group and advanced to the quarterfinals.

　　The question now is the first question in the group.

　　 Will it be Argentina, which won all five games, or the 4 wins and 1 loss, the Chinese team and the United States, who will get the first place in Group F.

　　 The Chinese team defeated the U.S. team, and Argentina defeated the Chinese team. If the U.S. team finally defeated Argentina, the ranking of Group F would be interesting.

　　 So, when the match between China and Russia is over, everyone is staring at the group ranking of Group F.

　　 includes Yugoslavia.

　　Because they want to do America too!

　　 I really want to miss the kind!

　　 "Let's make a bet with 400 dollars, how about it?"

　　 "Yes, I guess they will continue to be ashamed."

　　 Peja and Divac looked at each other and smiled, everything is silent.

　　 On September 4, 2002, the last game of the Group F group stage, the Chinese team and New Zealand took the lead in the match.

　　 The Chinese team, who has already qualified in the group, did not blind their eyes in this game because of the first place in the group.

　　 In this game, the Chinese team rotated Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin, two veterans, replaced by the head and Liu Wei's starting.

　　 Without the two outside veterans, the Chinese team did not adapt very well at the beginning, but after adapting, it gradually became better.

Especially Li Nan, who started the game, was in a hot state. The first half was almost the same as Xiao Li Feidao. He made 6 consecutive three-pointers and Chen Xiao’s 5 consecutive mid-range shots, allowing the Chinese team to make the first half. The lead reached a maximum of 24 points.

　　 Li Nan, who was 8 of 12 three-pointers, scored 33 points.

　　 In addition, Chen Xiao, who was very uncomfortable with Kirilenko in the last game, finally had a good time in this game.

　　 Chen Xiao made 14 of 20 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored a game-high 38 points in the game.

　　 In this game, Chen Xiao's state has returned to his courage, and Yao Ming's state has also returned to his courage, and his courage is unbelievable.

　　 8 of 8 in the game, 11 of 11 free throws, 27 points per cent.

　　 Because Yao Ming is so strong, Chen Xiao and Li Nan have so many opportunities outside.

　　 Li Nan, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming scored 98 points in this game!

　　 Of course, except for the three of them, the other players on the Chinese team score very low.

　　 The three feel hot, and Pug and the others don’t want to grab the show. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　 In the end, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 118 to 92.

　　 "As long as the U.S. team beats Argentina, we will be number one in the group."

　　 When the game is over, the Chinese team is still looking forward to it.

　　 Back to the locker room, the first half of the game between the United States and Argentina was over.

　　 At this time, the score on the court is 52 to 32!

　　Argentina is in front, and the US team is behind.

　　 The US team lost another 20 points at halftime!

　　 Seeing this score, it makes sense. The Chinese team is dumbfounded from coach to player.

　　Is this a team that sees people hammering, is it really a dream team?

　　 Aren't we dreaming?

　　 87 to 80!

　　 At the end of the game, the American Dream Team 5 lost again!

　　 "Ginobili and Argentina's bragging has also come true..."

　　 "The American team is really Santa Claus?"

　　 Yao Ming was dumbfounded.

　　 The US team fans at the scene were equally dumbfounded.

　　 The American fans on the scene are now quiet, except for their painful gasps.

　　 "Is this another nightmare?"

　　 "When will our nightmare end?"

　　 "I have lost two games, nightmare, should it be over?"

　　 Should the nightmare end?

　　 The Yugoslav player who ended the game earlier had clenched his hands in front of the TV.

　　 This is a coincidence!

　　 No, it’s not a coincidence, it’s been a long time for you!

　　Your group is third, our group is second.

　　 "The nightmare has just begun!"

　　Ps: In this chapter, except for Chen Xiao, the Chinese team players' data are all real data.

　　Ps: Six thousand words big chapter, ask for monthly pass! !
