I’m Really Playing Basketball

After Carlisle reused Marshall, Marshall played a very good performance in the Cavaliers in these few games. Besides Chen Xiao and James, the Cavaliers are the only player to average more than 10 points per game.

And not only did he average 10+ per game in the season, but more importantly, after he became a starter again, under the deliberate passing of Chen Xiao and James, he could get 10+ in almost every game.

His scoring ability is already very strong. The main constraint on him is his state. Obviously, this season he is in a very good state.

After all, in history, Marshall's state this season is very explosive.

If the head coach of the Cavaliers is not Carlisle, chances are the Cavaliers are reluctant to trade such a very special power forward in the NBA.

The performance is so good, the Cavaliers deliberately want to shoot, in this case, Marshall is naturally not no one cares about.

Many teams have asked the price.

The 76ers, the Supersonics, the Clippers, and of course the Raptors of D'Antoni and Nash.

In addition, there is Marshall's old club, the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls are not asking prices for themselves, but for the Raptors.

After the team general manager Paxson introduced Chen Xiao, James and Carlisle the offers of several other teams, he mainly began to introduce Chen Xiao and the others about a tripartite deal with the Bulls and Raptors.

The Cavaliers sent Marshall to the Raptors, the Raptors sent Antonio Davis to the Bulls, and the Cavaliers took some good players from the Bulls or the Raptors as compensation.

It can be seen from the description of Paxon.

The subject of this transaction is the Raptors and Bulls, and the Cavaliers and Marshall are bridges.

Generally speaking, in a tripartite transaction, it is very disadvantageous to be a bridge.

The other two teams got the players they wanted.

Why can the Cavaliers only choose some so-called good players from the Raptors and Bulls?

Really good player, you may not give it to someone.

Obviously, in this deal, Cavaliers general manager Paxson wanted to ‘give away people’ or ‘be favors’.

Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan and Carlisle are not idiots, as can be seen from Paxson's introduction, the intention of the team general manager.

Of course, this is actually understandable. After all, the person who presides over the work of the Bulls, who is about to take over as the general manager of the Bulls, is his brother John Paxson.

Fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers in battle, to send warmth to the younger brother, how can you send someone away?

However, Paxson does not have absolute dominance in the Cavaliers, so even if he wants to give away his brother, he needs to listen to Chen Xiao and their opinions.

Chen Xiao's opinion is of course...

Disagree!

"Jim, Marshall's trade is the only opportunity for us to improve the lineup this season. I hope we can get a player who solves our problems. If it's just an ordinary role player, I don't think such a trade makes sense."

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan hadn't spoken yet, and the team's head coach, Rick Carlisle, who had a strong personality, directly disagreed.

When Chen Xiao played the playoffs with the Pistons last season, he knew that Carlisle was very rigid.

When the playoffs are still going on, dare to say, ‘I’m willing to trade Hamilton and Chen Xiao’. Is this what ordinary NBA coaches dare to do?

So after Carlisle finished talking, Paxson, who knew he was a bit wrong, looked at the three with a smile after a little silence: "Rick, Chen, LeBron, do you have anyone to recommend?"

I have to say that although Paxson has his own selfishness, he is not a person who will go his own way.

In the NBA, not all of the 29 team general managers are as capable as Jerry West and Rod Thorne.

Most people are mediocre, even from the perspective of God, I am better than these people.

But this is true, the general manager of each team is the perfect general manager of Jerry West, that is the problem.

Although Paxson is ordinary, he can listen to the opinions of the rest of the team, which is good.

In the discussion that followed, Carlisle recommended the Trail Blazers power forward Rasheed Wallace to Paxson.

Because Paxson is the trailblazer's legendary star, once the trailblazer's scoring leader, is well-connected in the trailblazers.

So, don't look at trading Marshall for Rashid Wallace is a dream, but if the Blazers really want to trade Rashid Wallace, it is indeed possible.

For example, the Blazers want to trade Rashid, but other teams have similar bargaining chips to the Cavaliers, so obviously, the Blazers will give Paxson a favor.

"I think Stephen Jackson of the Hawks is good."

This is Xiao Zhan's recommendation. Chen Xiao was surprised when he heard Xiao Zhan's recommendation. Xiao Zhan, your mind is okay!

but……

"LeBron, Jackson, we may have nothing to do."

"..."

In the surprise of Chen Xiao and James, Paxson smiled and answered the reason for them.

Although Jackson was placed by Popovich in the summer, he couldn't go to the Pacers.

But Jackson was booked by the Pacers.

It's just that the Pacers can't sign this season, so Jackson will overtake the Hawks.

Jackson's basic salary gives the Hawks a season, and the Hawks are focused on helping the Pacers train Jackson.

Why can the Pacers and the Eagles reach such a weird agreement?

Of course, it’s because the current general manager of the Eagles, Billy Knight, is a former teammate of the Pacers’ general manager Larry Bird. At the same time, Billy Knight is born in the Pacers and Spurs, and the Pacers’ president Donny Walsh. They are all members of the Larry Brown circle of friends.

Pacers President Downey Walsh is Larry Brown's disciple, Popovich's brother, both belong to the Larry Brown line of the league.

So, although Jackson seems to have nothing to do with the Pacers now, in fact, he is already a player of the Pacers, just working out with the Eagles.

Hearing Paxson say this, Xiao Zhan was a little stunned. Does the NBA management circle still have so many corners?

Even Chen Xiao feels like he has learned a lot. For example, Billy Knight, general manager of the Eagles, belongs to the Boston Moments and Larry Brown's Moments. This makes friends really wide.

"Chen, do you have any recommended players?"

After asking Carlisle and Xiao Zhan, Parkson looked at Chen Xiao.

The opinions of Xiao Zhan and Carlisle are very important, but for Paxson, the most important thing is Chen Xiao's opinion.

After all, he is the boss of the team.

"I think both Rick and LeBron are good candidates. Of course, if Jim can get Jamal Crawford from the Bulls, he can trade with the Bulls."

When Chen Xiao said this, Carlisle, Xiao Zhan and Paxson were very satisfied, and felt that their opinions were respected by Chen Xiao.

Even Paxson, who had been wiped out by Carlisle before, felt that he was respected, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Chen allowed the transaction between him and his brother, which is very important.

There have been many private exchanges between the Paxson brothers over the years.

Just talk about Jamal Crawford, he was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 8 pick in 2000, and then sent to the Bulls in exchange for the current Cavaliers backup center Chris Mihm.

As long as Chen Xiao agrees to such private exchanges between their brothers, then there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

Although Crawford is important in the Bulls now, it is not without a chance.

He had always known that his brother's patience with Crawford had begun to slowly run out.

Offensive kaleidoscope, defensive tens of thousands of poke.

The last such player to be kicked out of the Bulls by his brother was Marshall. Marshall's defense is much better than Crawford.

On December 1, 2003, just as the Cavaliers’ Big Four were discussing the Cavaliers’ trade candidates, the league announced the best of the week last week and the best of the month last month.

In the Cavaliers' three games last week, Chen Xiao scored more than 30 points in all three games. In the three games, he averaged 34 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the Cavaliers to a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

Chen Xiao finally defeated Mutombo, who led the 76ers to a 3-1 record last week and averaged 13 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game, becoming the best of the week in the Eastern Conference.

I have to say that this needs to be thanked by the Eagles. The victory in the two games was all won against the Eagles.

I have to feel that Mutombo is really old and strong.

How old are these?

It seems so powerful. The last time he played against the 76ers, Mutombok disgusted Xiao Zhan.

In addition, the best of the week in the West is Chen Xiao's idol, Garnett, who led the team to 4 consecutive victories last week.

While the league announced the best of the week last week, it also announced the best of the month in the east and west of the week.

The best of the month in the West was finally given to Peja of the Kings. In the absence of Webb, Peja led the Kings to a 13-3 record in November, averaging 24 points, 53% shooting and 43% three-pointers. The ball hit rate also has 92% free throw rate, 50+40+90, the standard 180 club.

Originally, Chen Xiao thought that the best month in the west would be to add idols.

It seems that there are sympathy points in the selection of the best of the month.

In the absence of Weber, the King's record is so good, Peja's performance is indeed respectable and sympathetic.

Chen Xiao is quite happy for her friend.

After Webber returns, the Kings must be the best team in the West again?

This time, without the Lakers, it’s time to enter the Finals, right?

This is Chen Xiao's guess and the guess of many people in the NBA.

In the east, the battle for the best of the month is fierce.

Duncan, O'Neal, Carter, Tracy McGrady, the four super giants, who is the best month in the first month?

When the Alliance finally announced the answer, everyone was stunned.

Byron Davis of the Hornets led the Hornets to a record of 12 wins and 5 losses last month. At the same time, his personal data is averaging 24.5 points, 5 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.8 steals, winning the first month of the Eastern Conference. optimal.

The team with the best record in the East is the Nets, followed by the Spurs. Of the four superstars of these two teams, McGrady has the best data.

However, McGrady, who has the best data, doesn't seem to have as good data as Byron Davis last month.

The data is not as good as Byron Davis, and he won 2 more games than the Hornets. There is also a super giant Duncan beside you.

It seems that there is no problem in giving the best of the month to Byron Davis?

By the way, why not talk about the data record of O'Neal and Carter?

Obviously, the league doesn't like superstar teams like the Nets, so when the league announced the best of the Eastern month, these two were not among the candidates.

By the way, Chen Xiao was also a candidate.

Last month, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to a 9-8 record, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference. His own data averaged 30.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists, and his shooting percentage was 53%.

The personal data is quite perfect, but the team's record is indeed a bit poor.

If the Cavaliers can win three more games, chances are he will be the best of the month.

By the way, the other best candidate for the Eastern Conference is Wade. In November, Wade can contribute 24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. The record is also a very good 13 wins and 4 losses. I don’t know why. It's the best in the month.

It should be the reason for the surprise, the Hornets are even more surprising.

In addition, the November Rookie of the Month was also announced.

Anthony won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month.

Xiao Zhan won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month.

Xiao Zhan's data last month averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.

This data is also very powerful, especially the assists. Xiao Zhan’s assists now rank second in the assist list, second only to the Raptors’ Nash, and still above the boss of the base.

In recent days, Xiao Zhan has been hitting the iron frequently and his score has plummeted, but his assists have skyrocketed.

Hmm, it seems that Xiao Zhan has learned to use Chen Xiao's correct method.

On December 2, the Cavaliers continued to be away, this time to the West, Denver, and one of the NBA's most terrifying away games at Plateau.

In this rematch between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets, the Nuggets adopted a double-teaming strategy against Chen Xiao in this game.

Because Chen Xiao has a very good passing ability, many teams in the regular season have either single defense or double team defense against Chen Xiao.

Instead of just double-teaming as before, Chen Xiao doesn't have the ability to pass the ball anyway.

A team that has the ability to defend against Chen Xiao alone will defend against Chen Xiao alone and pinch other Cavaliers players by the way.

A team that does not have the ability to defend against Chen Xiao alone will choose to double-team Chen Xiao and place other Cavaliers on the team.

Generally speaking, in Chen Xiao's previous games this season, most of the teams still defended against Chen Xiao alone.

It's not a good choice to double-team a player that is so tall, so long, and pass the ball so well.

Especially when James can shock.

The Heat first beat the Cavaliers and killed Chen Xiao who was double-teamed.

Regarding the offensive ability of the Cavaliers' other players, no matter how strong Chen Xiao singles, it is difficult to beat his opponent.

Therefore, the Nuggets' double-teaming against Chen Xiao still surprised Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers.

But let's not say, the effect of this Nuggets' attack on Chen Xiao was pretty good.

Defend against Chen Xiao alone, and defend against other Cavaliers players. The Cavaliers attack can't kill anyone.

Double-teaming Chen Xiao and putting other Cavaliers players slightly, the Cavaliers' offense is still undead.

This embarrassed the Cavaliers' offense.

103 to 115, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 12 points away in this game.

Chen Xiao made 6 of 19, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, especially his assists in double figures.

In this game, the Cavaliers' offense was actually no problem. Chen Xiao also played the ball well even when he was double-teamed.

Chandler scored 14 points on 7-for-10, Miles scored 13 points on 6-for-10, and Marshall scored 12 points on 4-for-8. There is no problem. Zhan’s 6, 17 points may be slightly worse, but still Qualified.

The key is defense. Starting Marshall's defense was not enough, allowing Nene to score 21 points efficiently, and the bench, the Cavaliers' rookies, made Joan Barry hit a hundred three-pointers.

What's more, the Cavaliers' guard line just can't defend against the small guards, just like Jordan Pippen and Harper's Bulls.

And this Nuggets has a small guard, a super small guard, the 1.65-meter guard Earl Boykins, the small guard was crazy against Chen Xiao and James in the last 3 minutes, 4 of 5 With 8 points, he almost directly confused the mentality of Xiao Zhan who was defending him.

It can only be said that the Cavaliers did their best in this game, but the Nuggets really have a thick lineup.

By the way, Sweet Anthony also performed very well in this game, avoiding Chen Xiao 8 of 16 and scored 26 points.

After playing the Nuggets, the Cavaliers continued their away trip to the Western Conference, back to back against the Western Clippers on December 3.

The Clippers say it is weak, but in fact the players are not that weak.

Captain Brand, center Kaman, outside Maggette, Quentin Richardson.

These are very good players.

In this game, the Cavaliers were the first to win. Under the leadership of Chen Xiao, they played the Clippers 31 to 22 in a single quarter.

Chen Xiao made 6 of 11 in a single quarter, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points. He was crazy.

Just when the Cavaliers felt that the game was holding hands, the situation changed in the second quarter. In the second quarter, Xiao Zhan took the bench and fell into a scoring drought, while the Clippers' Quentin Richardson exploded in the second quarter. The Clippers returned the Cavaliers 28 to 17, and actually overtook the Clippers at halftime.

The Cavaliers played well in the starting lineup of this game. Why is the bench so sluggish?

It can only be said that these rookies of the Cavaliers substitute, playing back-to-back games, it is difficult to maintain the state like Chen Xiao.

Even rookies like Xiao Zhan are in a downturn in this game, let alone Xiao Mo and the others.

What's more, there was just a battle against the Nuggets in the Denver Plateau yesterday.

In this game, Chen Xiao was in such a good state, that was the problem, and Xiao Zhan and the others were in a normal state!

In the third quarter, he changed sides and fought again. In the third quarter, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to a score of 19 to 15 in a single quarter, again leading the way.

Chen Xiao scored a team-high 9 points with 4 of 8 in the third quarter.

But apart from Chen Xiao, no one else on the Cavaliers scored any points.

The Nuggets attacked Chen Xiao in the last game. In this game, the Clippers chose to defend against Chen Xiao alone.

Two completely different defensive strategies. Which one do you think makes the Clippers more uncomfortable?

Cavaliers coach Carlisle felt that the Cavaliers' offense was even more uncomfortable against Chen Xiao alone.

Although the overall state of the Cavaliers in this game is not good.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers surpassed the Clippers again.

But in the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao, who was resting off the court, really had no choice. He could only watch Xiao Zhan's bench lineup being pulled apart by the Clippers.

When Chen Xiao played again, he was already weak.

Chen Xiao was prepared to play a full game in the second half, but Carlisle refused.

Yesterday, there was just a big fight on the plateau. This back-to-back went on for more than 44 minutes?

Carlisle felt that it was difficult for him to do such a thing. Although Chen Xiao was willing, he couldn't agree. For a regular season victory, Carlisle felt it was not worth it.

80 to 90, the away back-to-back Cavaliers lost to the Clippers.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 14 of 30 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, 40 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

In addition, in this game, Xiao Zhan made 2 of 13, 0 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, 4 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 5 turnovers in the game.

In this campaign, the Cavaliers scored in double figures with Chen Xiao and Marshall, of which Marshall scored 7 of 12 with 18 points and 14 rebounds.

Chen Xiao scored half of the team's points.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers scored 6 points off the bench in this game, which is terrible.

It can be seen from this game that these young rookies of the Cavaliers still have a long way to go.

After losing to the Clippers in the away game, the Cavaliers once again suffered a three-game losing streak.

But the good news is that after playing the Clippers, the Cavaliers can return to home.

But the slightly bad news is that, back at home, the Cavaliers' opponent is the Grizzlies, who played very well in the West this season.

Gasol, Eddie Jones, Shane Battier, James Posey, and Bunch Wells, who was just traded from the Trail Blazers.

In just a few seasons, Jerry West has already turned the Grizzlies into a powerful team.

By the way, why did Wells, an important player of the former Trail Blazers, come to the Grizzlies?

Of course, the Blazers are finally ready to rebuild!

Therefore, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players have been paying attention to the development of Trailblazers power forward Rasheed Wallace.

On December 3, 2003, when the Cavaliers were playing the Clippers, the Trail Blazers announced that they had reached a deal with the Eagles. The Hawks sent the team’s head player Raheem in 1996 and introduced Rasheed from the Trail Blazers. Wallace.

After the game, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players who got the news felt very sorry, but they had no other ideas.

Team general manager Paxson also called and said that the Blazers management told him that it was not that Wallace was not sent to the Cavaliers, but that the Hawks had given too much.

"Indeed, this is Raheem."

A 27-year-old star insider who averaged 21 points and 9 rebounds per game this season. In the past six seasons, except for 19.9 points per game last season, he averaged 20+ points per game in all seasons.

Unless the Cavaliers play Chen Xiao or Xiao Zhan, it is difficult for a Marshall to make the Blazers give up Raheem for favor.

If the deal with Rasheed Wallace ends here, then no one can say anything.

The higher the price is.

But on December 6, the morning of the Cavaliers and Grizzlies game, the Detroit Pistons announced that they had completed a three-way deal with the Hawks and the Boston Celtics.

Rasheed Wallace was sent to the Pistons by the Hawks, and Wallace played a game with the Hawks!

The Pistons get Rasheed Wallace's chips are Rebraka, Bob Sura and a first-round pick from the Bucks next year. The Bucks' first-round pick is still protected by Lotto.

This transaction is simply a matter of fact.

It was no secret that the Cavaliers wanted Rasheed Wallace before. Cavaliers general manager Paxson is a legendary Trailblazer player and has been trying to introduce Wallace.

I thought the Cavaliers were robbed by the Hawks.

Unexpectedly, it was the Pistons who really robbed the Cavaliers!

So before the start of this game between Cavaliers and Grizzlies, many reporters asked Chen Xiao what they thought of the Pistons Celtics and Eagles deal.

To be reasonable, Chen Xiao was dumbfounded when he first saw the deal.

So when I was asked by the reporter, I just blurted out.

"Isn't this a free gift?!"

After blurting out, Chen Xiao quickly realized that the Cavaliers general manager Paxson told him that Billy Knight, the general manager of the Eagles, was a matter of the Larry Brown department and the Boston department.

Obviously, this time the Hawks, Celtics and Pistons trade was premeditated.

From the beginning, the Eagles had no intention of asking for Rasheed Wallace.

From the beginning, the Eagles were manipulated by Larry Brown.

Larry Brown, as the head of the Larry Brown family, is this face so big?

Chen Xiao was shocked.

Not to mention Chen Xiao was shocked, even Grizzlies general manager Jerry West, who accompanied the Grizzlies to Cleveland this time, was shocked.

Can the NBA still play like this?

So when the reporter asked this question, Jerry West was also very angry.

"I think Wonder Boy is right. The Pistons exchanged a few coins for one hundred dollars. This is a robbery transaction, and the league should intervene!"

Listen, Jerry West can't stand it anymore.

However, if it was another time and space in 2008, Popovich would have heard Jerry West's words very familiar.

Because this is another time and space, Popovich's evaluation of Jerry West's trade of Gasol to the Lakers for Gasol.

It's almost exactly the same.

This is simply the reincarnation of the gods. Before Jerry did it, your teacher did it first.

From this we can see the weight of the NBA factions in the transaction.

Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan, Paxson, and Carlisle were very angry for Larry Brown and the Pistons' act of snatching Wallace from the Cavaliers in an almost robbery manner.

Especially Cavaliers general manager Paxson.

This transaction ruined the three views!

He also often makes secret trades and favors with his brother and Rod Thorne, but he doesn't dare to be so blatant!

He sent Rashid to the Pistons and helped the Pistons clean up a $10 million **** contract. Would you like Dior?

December 6, 2003, is destined to be a very magical day.

Almost a few hours after the Pistons announced they had taken Rasheed Wallace by robbery.

The Raptors, Bulls and Cavaliers completed a deal.

The main body of the transaction is the Bulls' Jamal Crawford, the Raptors' Antonio Davis and the Cavaliers' Marshall.

Marshall was sent to the Raptors by the Cavaliers, and Antonio Davis was sent to the Bulls by the Raptors.

The Bulls sent Jamal Crawford to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is a sudden transaction.

And this deal made Marshall very upset.

He was going to play happily in this game against the Grizzlies.

He has performed very well recently.

However, after the unexpected news, the team sent him to Canada!

Canada and Cleveland, you ask NBA players which one to choose.

Crane top red and arsenic, fools know how to choose arsenic!

Cleveland is still in the United States no matter what.

Toronto has gone abroad.

Therefore, in the Cavaliers' locker room, Marshall, who was going to start the game, had a cold face and packed his luggage before leaving the team alone.

Marshall, who was very angry when he left, said to Xiao Zhan next to him in a weird way: “It’s not bad to go to Canada. At least their point guard is not a ball player who can’t shoot. In Canada, I Will get a lot of points."

Good guy, I was blinded by Xiao Zhan who suddenly Diss.

I? Ball tyrant?

I? Didn't let you score more?

This is definitely black water of slander!

"Chen~www.NovelMTL.com~Why does he want to hack me and not you?"

You are the leader, and you are among the people who negotiate with him!

Xiao Zhan is very monstrous.

"Maybe I can't find the black spots."

"..."

ps: The robbery transaction in history, Jerry West's one is considered the most famous, in fact, when the Pistons got Rasheed Wallace, it was also a robbery transaction, and the meaning of PY is even stronger.

When the Eagles send Rashid to the Pistons next season, Larry Brown’s assistant and Pistons assistant coach Mike Woodson will become the Eagles head coach...
