I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 188: Popovich’s true love!

   At the G4 post-match press conference between the Nets and Celtics, Chen Xiao took a breath after hearing McGrady's announcement that the Magic had advanced to the second round.

   "It feels great to enter the second round!"

  My wheat, okay!

   This tone is crazy enough to attract hatred!

   Because of Luo Ge, Chen Xiao is very concerned about the Magic and Pistons series.

   In the case of Grant Hill reimbursement for the season, the Magic played very well under the leadership of McGrady.

   After the first three games, the Magic led 2-1.

   The fourth game between the Magic and the Pistons started before the Nets and Celtics started.

   In this game, Chen Xiao and the Nets players watched halftime. In the first half, the Magic led the Pistons by 4 points 54-50 at home.

   It's still difficult to distinguish between the two teams, and the outcome of the game is also unknown.

   Logically speaking, the Pistons, who are already behind 1 to 2 in front, will fight back frantically in the second half, because they really can't lose anymore.

   The Pistons look stronger, and the Pistons are likely to come back in the second half.

   I just didn't expect that at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 100 to 92. In the second half, the Magic also expanded the score.

   Chen Xiao asked the reporters at the scene to find out.

   It turns out that the Pistons' point guard, Chen Xiao, who is very optimistic, thinks that Billups, who may be one of the most underrated point guards in the NBA, went undercover again in the second half.

   Throughout the second half, Billups, under Ron Howard's defense, scored 1 of 10, relying on 6 free throws and 1 three-pointer, and scored 9 points in the half.

   Billups was 6-for-20 in the entire game and scored 25 points on free throws. It can be said that as a point guard, he is quite an undercover.

   This round of the series until now, Billups is about to be thrown up by Luo Ge.

   Brother Luo can really match Billups.

Billups is one of the most famous point guards in the league. The height of 1.91 meters is relatively tall in the current NBA point guard position. Facing most of the starting point guards in the league, his body and stature are dominant. . The fastest computer terminal of the new 81 Chinese website: https://www.@x81zw@@

   But, in the series with the Magic, Ron Howard is 1.96 meters on the opposite side!

   In addition, Luo Ge's defensive skills are also very good, after all, Chen Xiao used so many experience cards to feed the defense.

   Brother Luo's single defense can now be said to be technically impervious.

   No kidding, playing Luo Ge's defense, like Billups's technical IQ flow is not good, you need a talent like Iverson's technical flow.

   Billups’ physical talent is not much superior to that of Luo Ge, and his offensive skills are not as good as Iverson. At the very least, Billups’ offensive skills are definitely not as good as Luo Ge’s defensive skills. The fastest full text of 噺⒏⑴祌 んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/

   So, it was really uncomfortable for Billups to run into the nemesis of Luo Ge.

   3, 21 points of 16 in the first game.

   7, 15 points in 14 of the second game.

   2, 5 points in 6 of the third game.

   6, 25 points in 20 out of 20 in this game.

   Up to now, Billups has been defended by Rogo in three games in four games.

   And the three super ghosts of Billups also gave the Magic three victories.

   Although Billups has always been underestimated and his reputation is not so obvious, he is after all an excellent mature point guard recognized by the NBA.

   The first time a rookie player played in the playoffs and defended a mature and excellent point guard into this appearance, it was really amazing.

   Therefore, in this year's playoffs, the two hottest young players in the playoffs are Chen Xiao and Ron Howard.

   Chen Xiao needless to say.

   When Pierce broke out with all his strength, he could actually compete with Pierce as a 50-50, an absolute All-Star level hard power.

   Ron Howard is not as crazy as Chen Xiao, but it is shocking enough.

   Spurs coach Popovich expressed his appreciation for Ron Howard more than once when asked about the comparison between Parker and Ron Howard.

   Steady control of the ball, extremely stable!

   The defense is strong, extremely strong!

   This is simply the perfect point guard in Popovich's mind.

   Generally speaking, when a reporter asks the head coach of a team to answer the comparison between his team's players and other team's players, it is rare that Popovich is so determined to occupy other team's players.

   It can also be seen from this that Popovich really appreciates Ron Howard.

   Of course, on the other hand, it is also an expression of dissatisfaction with Parker.

   Parker played worse this year in the playoffs than last year.

   Last year's rookie Parker was also very shocking. The rookie averaged 15.5 points, 46 points per game, and 37 three-pointers. This is very good.

   But this season, not only did he score a lot less, his field goal rate was also terrible. Up to now, his field goal percentage is less than 40, and his three-point field goal percentage is even more horrible.

   Ron Howard's offense is already average, and Parker's offensive performance in the playoffs this season is worse than Ron Howard.

  The offense is not as good, and the ball control organization between the two is similar, and the defense of Parker can only be blown by Ron Howard.

   In the regular season, Parker and Ron Howard were often compared. As a very representative young point guard with two points in the NBA, the comparison between the two in the regular season is evenly divided.

   But when it came to the playoffs, it went straight up.

   More importantly, Ron Howard is less than 21 years old this year, and Parker is now 23 years old.

   So, whether it is now or in the future, Ron Howard is better than Parker.

   Therefore, Popovich stood Ron Howard in the comparison between Ron Howard and Parker. No one else opposed it, and even the Spurs fans felt that Popovich’s words were okay.

   Not to mention the strength, in the playoffs until now, Ron Howard's evaluation among media experts is much higher than that of Parker.

  Ron Howard has directly played the position of Magic II.

   Parker is still getting behind in the playoffs this season.

   I have to say that the Pistons and Billups really lifted Luo Ge.

   Ron Howard's characteristic is that his personal offense is average, but he has strong ball possession and defensive thieves.

   Playing offensive teams, Ron Howard's offensive characteristics may be a drag on the Magic.

   But playing against the Pistons, a team that can't attack on their own, Ron Howard is really good at it.

  Playing the Pistons, Ron Howard's general offense no longer drags down the Magic, anyway, playing the Pistons does not require Ron Howard to contribute to the offensive end, and the defense is over.

   It can be said that this round of playoffs with the Pistons is simply a stage for Ron Howard.

   With the help of the Pistons and Billups, this young defensive player became famous in one fell swoop.

   Chen Xiao is very happy for Luo Ge.

   But Chen Xiao was not so happy when he heard McGrady **** hatred so much.

   "Isn't this Keng Luo brother you?"

   The Pistons were beaten by the Magic to make a 3-1. The blind knows that this is because Ron Howard defended Billups in three games.

   Of course, Tracy McGrady is also very Dior in this round of the series. This is for sure. If you don’t lose, look at Luo Ge. Winning depends on Tracy McGrady. This is the true situation of this round of Magic and Pistons series.

   It was not easy for Luo Ge to control Billups.

   The whistle on Billups in this round of the series is very strange, it comes with a foul halo.

He scored 21 points on three goals and 25 points on six goals. Chen Xiao is almost unheard of, maybe he is ignorant, but this is really hard to imagine. One goal can get 7 points, 31 only 4 points. it is good!

   7 points? This is 34!

   Seeing Billups's treatment in this round of the series and competing against Chen Xiao, the skin beasts that fought so hard, I guess they would cry. I want this treatment, and Chen Xiao has already sold first!

   No kidding, Pierce wanted Billups' treatment, and Chen Xiao sent off in four games.

   It is really not easy for Luo Ge to stay on the court for four games.

   Brother Luo is already so difficult. If McGrady’s words come out, the Pistons will definitely be upset. If the Pistons are upset, they want to do something, so who do they do?

   Of course, it is to pressure Billups, who is the worst performer, to **** Ron Howard!

   Billups has already used his experience a lot in the first four games. If he makes more use of it, I'm afraid Luo Ge will be fouled.

   Brother Luo has been so difficult, can't you wait for a while and show again?

   Is it not good to win the fifth game honestly?

   Why do you have to talk like this?

   After the press conference, Chen Xiao called Luo Ge and complained.

  Chen Xiao and Mai Zi are also very good friends, and they cooperate very well in the All-Star Game.

   The two are the two biggest heroes who helped Jordan turn around perfectly.

   "Chen, tmc is not trying to cheat me, it's trying to get ahead for me. The Pistons in this game are a bit big on me, they are deliberately targeting me."

   "Brother Luo, are you okay?"

   "It's okay, I got a bit cramped, I can still hold on."

  "..."

   After Chen Xiao was stunned for a while, his originally ugly face became even more ugly.

   After talking to Luo Ge, Chen Xiao and Wade Yao Ming specially found the second half of the game between the Pistons and the Magic.

   After reading it, the expressions on the faces of the three of them were very angry.

   "The Pistons lost in the second half, and the defensive action was too big!"

   The defensive action of the Pistons is really different from Bowen's black feet.

   The Pistons players are basically not black, but go straight, elbows and elbows, even if it is a crime, it is elbow clearly and clearly.

   Brother Luo's foot was when he broke through and layup, he was lifted out with an elbow by the big ben behind him, and then he hit his foot when he landed.

   In this defense, Big Ben only got an ordinary foul...

   "No wonder McGrady would say that."

   Chen Xiao and Wade, who had originally objected to Tracy McGrady's words after the game, had all the angry expressions on their faces aimed at the Pistons.

   To be reasonable, they can be regarded as finishing the series of the Pistons and Magic.

   The referee is undoubtedly more biased towards the Pistons in the key judgments.

   The Pistons have big moves, but the fouls are many magic tricks.

   Obviously, in this round of the series, the referee is condoning the Pistons' defense.

   This is really incredible. In the NBA, which has always encouraged offense, this series is actually encouraging the Pistons' defense.

   Who can stand this?

   At least the arrogant McGrady can't stand it.

   Just in this crucial battle of Xiaotianwangshan, the Pistons lost and the Magic was 3-1. It seems that the Magic has already advanced to the promotion, so McGrady exploded completely, slapped the face and humiliated the Pistons.

   McGrady’s thoughts are well understood, and Wade felt that if he stood in McGrady’s position, he might say the same.

   Of course Chen Xiao also understands.

   However, for Chen Xiao, the most important thing now is...

   "I am worried about Luo Ge's injury now."

   For NBA players, the ankle is really not an injury, but when it hurts, it is really terrible!

   "I hope Brother Luo is okay."

   The Nets swept the Celtics and was the first team to advance in the first eight matchups of the NBA.

   Magic became the first team to announce promotion.

   Actually, now only the Nets has entered the second round.

   In the West, the Lakers and Timberwolves are 2 to 2, and the Kings and Jazz are 3-1. Both teams have not been promoted for the time being.

   The Spurs and the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks and the Suns, are also 2 to 2.

   The first round of the Western Conference this year is still very intense.

   On the eastern side, the Bucks and Pacers, the Bucks are leading 3-1, the 76ers and the Hornets, the 76ers are leading 3-1, plus the Magic 3-1 leading the Pistons.

   On the eastern side, it seems that the winner will be decided soon.

   And this year, in the East, the top three teams in the East, except for the Nets, both teams are on the verge of being eliminated.

   The Pistons and Pacers are a bit miserable now.

   This year's Eastern Black Eight did not happen, but Black Seven and Black Six are likely to happen.

  The Magic and Bucks are really surprising in this year's playoffs.

   However, compared with McGrady’s very high-profile announcement of promotion to the second round, the Bucks led by Ray Allen is quite low-key.

   has clearly led the Pacers to a 3-1 lead, but there is no movement at all.

   And Ray Allen's performance in this year's playoffs is also quite good.

   may not be as explosive as McGrady, but it seems to be more comfortable than McGrady.

   In this year's playoffs, Ray Allen suppressed his old opponent, Reggie Miller, his destiny opponent.

   Reggie Miller has averaged less than 10 points per game so far in this year's playoffs.

   Compared with previous years, it has fallen sharply.

   Whether it's because of injury or condition or encountering Ray Allen, he can always catch his defense, which is incredible.

   The Bucks, a team that was already about to disband, actually played such a strong performance in the playoffs. Many people did not expect it.

   After the Nets eliminated the Boston Celtics, the Nets players returned to New Jersey and entered a good game, waiting for the next opponent to arrive.

   And the timetable for the NBA playoffs is continuing.

   Logically speaking, the first round of the 3 3-1 Eastern Conference playoffs will soon produce the next team to advance.

   However, after the fifth game of the three Eastern Conference games, the final big score became 3 to 2.

  The team that was behind all got back one game.

   For Chen Xiao and Wade, of course Luo Ge and the Pistons are most concerned about.

   The Pistons killed the Magic with 31 points 98-67 at home in Game 5.

   After McGrady said something like that in Game 4, many people knew that the Pistons would be angry. Unexpectedly, the Pistons would be so angry.

   Big Ben scored 14 points, 21 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in this game, of which 21 rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds, clearly arranged the Magic on the defensive end.

   In addition, several of the Pistons' role players, rookies Prince and Okur also performed very well.

   An angry Pistons defeated the Magic, nothing to Chen Xiao and Wade.

What Chen Xiao and Wade are worried about is that Ron Howard was targeted by the Pistons in this game and was hit hard by the defending big Ben when he was shooting. Luo Ge, who was already a little crippled, seemed to be even more uncomfortable. .

   Although the magic in this game was miserable, Luo Ge still performed very well.

In the case of some unfavorable feet, Billups's 15-for-6 defense in this game, especially Billups's three-pointer in this game is 6-0. If it is not for the feet, defend Billup. Sri Lanka's breakthrough is not so good, this game may be worse than Lupus.

   It is precisely because Ron Howard performed so well and was paid so much attention, so in this game, Big Ben has been so concerned about Ron Howard's common foul.

   The controversy of public opinion is very big for a time.

   There have always been controversies about the size of defensive actions. The Pistons are like Lambir and Rodman. Of course, NBA stars like the Pistons, indicating that the NBA playoffs should be such a man.

   And Chen Xiao and Wade, of course, are unconditional Zhan Luo brothers. Although they are still quiet, they all directly expressed their dissatisfaction with the Pistons' defense.

   However, what surprised Chen Xiao was that Ron Howard was violently offended by Big Ben, and Chen Xiao was surprised by his personal position.

   "This is a crime!"

   "Ben Wallace's malicious fouls on Ron Howard in these two games were deliberate. He wants to get rid of Ron Howard!"

   Guess who said this?

   The head coach of the Spurs, Popovich!

   To be reasonable, Chen Xiao was shocked when he saw Popovich saying this.

   Is it true that Bowen’s black foot in the final game of the regular season has nothing to do with Popovich?

   Or does Popovich seem to be using Ben Wallace to cleanse himself and Bowen?

   Or in other words, is Popovich true love to Luo Ge?

   Like Jordan to himself, Popovich also loves Luo Ge deeply?

   Indeed, at a glance, it seems to be true!

   Brother Luo has a gentle personality, solid basic skills, and strong prevention and control.

   If you say that you are Larry Bird on the back line, so make Michael Jordan fall in love with yourself.

   Then Luo Ge seems to look a lot like Duncan on the point guard line, at least it seems to Popovich to really look like it!

   Chen Xiao, who discovered the blind spot, expressed shock!

   Generally speaking, with a big score like the Pistons and the Magic, the Pistons will choose a Magic player to commit a crime. This is not surprising.

   In the eyes of most people, McGrady should also be the target of the Pistons.

  Why did the Pistons choose Ron Howard for the crime?

   Soon, all the NBA fans and experts who questioned understood why the Pistons chose Ron Howard.

   The sixth game between the Pistons and the Magic.

   Ron Howard was absent because of a sprained ankle. The very smelly Billups in the first five games of this game suddenly broke out. The audience was 11 of 23, 7 of 14 three-pointers, and 40 points!

   In the end, the Pistons took the magic away and chased the big score of the two sides to 3 to 3!

   Before the seventh game between the Pistons and the Magic.

   "Ron, I suggest you don't listen to the opinions of Magic management. You are less than 21 years old. You still have a long career. Being closed will have a great impact on your career."

   After Wade and Roger's agent Henry finished speaking, the gentleman Ron Howard showed a very struggling expression on his face.

   Henry saw Ron Howard like this, knowing that Ron Howard might not listen to him.

   But if you add Dwyane and Chen, it will be different.

   To prevent Luo Ge from playing in such an important game, Chen Xiao and Wade were under great pressure upon hearing Henry's request.

  Thinking about where you are.

  If they were in this situation, would they refuse to play?

   For Chen Xiao, if Brother Ji needs him at this time, he definitely can't refuse.

   For Luo Ge, McGrady also has an appreciation for him.

   Although McGrady didn't say it clearly, but for McGrady, it is definitely hope that Luo Ge can play.

   McGrady’s silence indicates that he supports the Magic management.

   "Chen, tell Ron, you are smart, you know what to say."

  "..."

   Xiaotai, you can, admit that I am smart at this time?

   However, thinking of Luo Ge's career...

   Chen Xiao still gritted his teeth and became the culprit who prevented Luo Ge from repaying his favor.

   Magic and the Pistons' tie-break key game, in this game, the key player of the Magic Ron Howard did not play.

   In the end, the Magic lost to the Pistons 93-108 away.

   There was no suspense about the Pistons winning this game, so the whole game broadcast shots were capturing the expression on Ron Howard, who was very handsome in a suit and leather on the sidelines.

   After the game, Ron Howard walked to the sidelines guiltily and wanted to give McGrady and his teammates a consoling high-five.

   But after Ron Howard raised his palm...

   McGrady took the Magic players one by one past Ron Howard, as if he was treating Ron Howard as air.

   Looking at Brother Luo on TV, Chen Xiao felt very distressed.

   "Brother Luo, if basketball is your dream, then please don't play. Only if you are healthy enough can you see farther and better scenery."

   This is what Chen Xiao said to Ron Howard before the game started.

   Brother Luo finally listened to him.

  If Luo Ge played, would the magic's fate be different?

   Chen Xiao didn't know.

   But for the Magic players, Magic fans and Magic management, it must be the same.

  Because, in this game, Billups exploded again!

   Billups scored 11 of 19 in this game and scored 37 points.

  If Ron Howard is there, can Billups still score so many points in this game?

   This is not important anymore.

   "Chen, I will ask Mr. Riley to trade Ron to the Heat. Even if he is utterly deprived of magic, he is absolutely impossible to deter himself from the NBA!"

   Chen Xiao nodded slightly when Wade said this.

   But...

   "By the way, Xiaotai, do you think the Heat have a bargaining chip to trade Luo Ge?"

  "..."

   After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Wade's face blushed.

   Regarding the value shown by Luo Ge in this round of the series, the next two games did not play. After Billups exploded a 40 and a 37, I told you that Luo Ge's value is higher.

   Less than 21 years old, defense is just like Dior, this is going to go to heaven!

   This kind of Luo brother, ordinary people really can't change it.

   "I will ask Mr. Riley to exchange for LeBron James!"

  "..."

   Chen Xiao was stunned this time.

   good fellow!

   Xiaotai, I think, if the Heat can get LeBron, I'm afraid they will trade you for Luo Ge, they won’t trade LeBron...

   As the Pistons and Magic's long and long, topic-filled series ends, all the first round of the NBA playoffs are over.

   In the end, the Nets, Bucks, 76ers and Pistons became the only four teams in the Eastern Conference to enter the second round.

   On the west side, the Lakers, Spurs and Mavericks Kings are the four winners entering the second round.

   In the second round, the Nets played against the 76ers in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks played the Pistons. As the only next seed in the second round, can Ray Allen and the Bucks stay black?

   On the west side, the Kings beat the Lakers and the Spurs beat the Mavericks. These two games were all big battles!

   After the first round, more than 8 winning teams were produced.

   It's not just Ron Howard, a very eye-catching young point guard who seems to have flowed into the trading market.

   At the same time, after the first round of the series, the major awards of the league regular season have been announced one after another!

   And the news of the major awards of the NBA has suppressed the break between Ron Howard and the Magic in one fell swoop. The news of the league's pursuit of Ron Howard has become the biggest hot news of the NBA!

   No way, it’s amazing!
