I’m Really Playing Basketball

After returning to Cleveland, the Cavaliers continued their extremely difficult schedule in January. Throughout January, the Cavaliers’ 14 games had 13 opponents with a winning rate of more than 50%.

There is also a six-game player who is very desperate for rookies.

It can be said that the entire January schedule is very desperate for a young team like the Cavaliers.

In such a desperate schedule, in fact, winning or not is the second thing, and the most important thing is to be able to maintain the mentality of hope.

"In the NBA, every team will encounter very difficult moments in their long season. We will encounter them, the Raptors will encounter them, and the Hornets will encounter them. When encountering such difficult moments, you can If you lose the game, you can’t lose your confidence. If you lose the game and your record is lagging behind, as long as you have confidence, you can still chase it when you are easy in the future, but if you lose even your confidence and hope, then everything is over."

Rick Carlisle knows how important hope is to the current Cavaliers.

Originally, he was very worried about the current situation of the team.

The team’s players are young, and the team’s leader is also young. When the team encountered such difficulties, he thought Chen Xiao would panic and the team's young players would panic.

He really didn't expect that Chen Xiao, the young man who was the leader of the team for the first time, could have such an optimistic, cheerful and progressive mentality.

And not only does he have such a mentality, he can also use his mentality to infect his teammates.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players with James and his teammates akimbo and laughing up to the sky at this time, Carlisle felt relieved.

"Even if we lose all games this month, I am confident that the Cavaliers can enter the playoffs!"

He's a ruthless person!

Can you make the playoffs if you lose all this month?

Rick Carlisle's words stunned Mike Brown next to him.

If it weren’t for ruthless people, history would not have brought the relatively weak Mavericks all the way up the road and won the championship with a face-slapped face. Although Nowitzki was too magical in that magical season, he couldn’t ignore it. The role of coach, Carlisle.

At this time, Chen Xiao certainly didn't know that the head coach of the team thought he did a good job on the team.

For Chen Xiao, he knew that in an atmosphere of constant failure, not giving up hope is more important than anything else.

Because his life is like this.

Even though he had been so hard in the first eighteen years, wouldn't he still be able to see the moon and the moon now?

"LeBron, do you think our current situation is as difficult as our previous fifteen years?"

"No!"

"So Xiao Zhan, remember the words of Mencius, the heavens will come down to the people, he must first suffer his mind, his muscles and bones, his body hungry, his body empty, his behavior is disturbed by his actions, so he is tempted. Forbearance, it was once impossible."

Although Xiao Zhan's Chinese is still good, he certainly can't write in classical Chinese, but now that Chen Xiao talks about his idol, he will do it.

Just like a football fan who doesn’t speak English, you’re in his ear, ‘dog! dog! dog! ’He must know what you are trying to express, and he certainly won’t think you are calling him a dog.

Just like Xiao Zhan, although he does not understand classical Chinese, the melody of this passage is too familiar, and he can subconsciously remember the vernacular translation of this sentence.

If God wants to place a heavy responsibility on someone, he must first make him distressed, tired of his muscles and bones, make him hungry, empty and weak in his body, and make him unsatisfactory in everything he does, so as to stimulate his mind. Make him stoic and increase the ability he doesn't possess.

Every word that Mencius said during these thousands of years was talking about his chosen son. Isn't that the way he and Xiao Chen are?

In such a hard and difficult life, the two of them never forgot their hope and tempered themselves, and now they are even more so!

"The difficulties are temporary, and the future is bright, Xiao Chen, we can do it!"

Seeing Xiao Zhan doing this, Chen Xiao smiled very satisfied and nodded heavily.

Xiao Zhan is evolving.

The Cavaliers are in very bad condition.

He played six games throughout January and lost four games. The remaining eight games were all strong enemies.

So much so that even the American media who support James are worried about the Cavaliers.

Keep talking in the media and express your own opinions, such as trading this today and trading that tomorrow, anyway, it is to find some helpers for their chosen son to tide over this difficulty.

The general manager of the Cavaliers, Paxson, is very nervous, and he feels that he really needs to listen to these media experts and improve his team before the trade deadline.

Fortunately, Paxson's energy in the Cavaliers is not as great as Rod Thorne's in the Nets. Chen Xiao directly rejected Paxson's intention to change the team.

With such a good opportunity to share ups and downs with his teammates, how could he allow destruction?

Dior, Korver, Mo, Barnes, they are not players without strength.

These players have been tested by his system and are capable players.

The reason why they have not been able to play their abilities this season is mainly because they have not yet adapted to the rhythm of the NBA.

They are not talented players like Chen Xiao, James and Yao Ming. They can't show their combat effectiveness so quickly, but they will definitely have combat effectiveness in the future.

As long as everyone can get through this difficult stage, then he will gain a group of teammates who can work hard for him.

So, why should he trade?

"We will never be less!"

"Before we win the NBA championship, none of us will be missing!"

This is Chen Xiao's promise to them.

Therefore, when the entire United States is revolving around the Cavaliers' recent devil's schedule and wondering if this team is about to collapse, something very strange happened to the expert fans of the United States and the entire NBA.

When the whole world feels that the Cavaliers may really collapse now, and when it is about to be finished, Chen Xiao, James and the Cavaliers players, whether in training or when they come out for an interview, everyone’s face is It's the kind of cheerful, very hopeful smile.

It seems that the difficulties of the Cavaliers have never appeared in them.

"This is a group of amazing teenagers. The smiles on their faces are full of hope for the future!"

The American media experts were stunned.

At the same time, besides exclaiming, he was full of praise, of course, not everyone praised it.

such as……

"Humph, I want to see when these boys can pretend to be!"

Seeing that Chen Xiao and James were talking and laughing as usual when attending the press conference on TV, O'Neill hummed twice.

Now that these two boys can still laugh, it shows that the Cavaliers' difficulties have not yet reached the most difficult thing.

After all, the gap between the Cavaliers and the Hornets is not big enough.

When they lose a few more games, I see if they can laugh.

No wonder O'Neill thinks this way.

After all, he was not at the top of the league, he was also taught when he was young.

He knew what it would be like for a young team to encounter such difficulties.

Let alone these young people, even if it is a veteran like David Robinson, wouldn't he cry when he was desperate?

David Robinson said: Fatty, why don't you give an example yourself!

Isn't your old example famous?

On January 20, 2004, the Cavaliers played against the Seattle SuperSonics at home. Faced with this 20--19 Western eighth, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently in a difficult situation, played hard at home.

After the first three quarters of the game, the scores of the two teams were tied until the last quarter, relying on Xiao Zhan’s 3 of 1 free throws, 8 free throws, 8 of 8 free throws, 10 points and 10 rebounds of Super Charge Tornado performance, and Chen Xiao made 5 of 13 in a single quarter, 4 of 10 on three-pointers, and 14 points in a single quarter, which allowed the Cavaliers to lead 28 to 23 in the fourth quarter by 5 points. In the end, they defeated the Sonics 109 to 104 at home.

With the deepening of the season, the Cavaliers with almost no offensive ability on the inside are becoming more and more familiar. Many NBA teams are now very targeted to the Cavaliers' defense.

This is why the Cavaliers have played so hard in recent games.

Not only is the schedule bad, but the team's defects are also an important reason.

To put it simply, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan are not so good at driving the team as their opponents are more and more thorough in their research on the Cavaliers.

In this game against the supersonics, he knew that his opponent was defending against a sudden attack. James was still rushing wildly. He clearly knew that his opponent was defending against his own shooting, and Chen Xiao still could only shoot wildly when he didn't feel so good.

In this game, Xiao Zhan made 9 of 20, 15 of 14 free throws, 32 points and 20 rebounds, 8 of which were offensive rebounds. In fact, Xiao Zhan's rushing effect was not good, but it stunned the opponent's defense to use his talent. The effect of grabbing a second offense is very good.

The two inside Supersonics, Calvin Booth and Jerome James, are very fleshy, but their talents are a bit poor.

Chen Xiao made 15 of 34 shots in this game, 7 of 18 three-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, scoring the most 44 points in the game, plus 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Crawford was 8 of 15 and scored 21 points. Crawford's offense is not a problem, but his defense...

His defense is one of the reasons why he played so anxiously in this game.

After defeating the Seattle SuperSonics at home, the Cavaliers finally recovered a little blood.

On January 22, 2004, the Cavaliers faced Peja at home. The current record of the Kings is 30 wins and 9 losses. Faced with the second team of the Kings, the Cavaliers lost 109 to 115 at home.

In this game, the King’s forward Peja, if he was superb, made 13 of 25 and 9 of 12 three-pointers. He scored 39 points.

In the entire game, the Kings scored in double figures with eight people. In the absence of Webb, eight people scored in double figures.

This lineup is so thick.

The Kings are there specifically to deal with the Cavaliers' bench.

The Cavaliers were able to delay the game with the Kings until the fourth quarter before losing. It was really thanks to Chen Xiao, James and Crawford that the three giants had an excellent feel in this game.

In this game, Crawford made 4 of 8 three-pointers and scored 20 points for 7 of 16 in the game.

Chen Xiao was 12 of 25, 6 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 36 points.

James was 9 of 19, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 24 points.

The trio cut another 80 in this game.

But it is clear that in order to defeat an offensive team like the Kings, the scores of the three are still not enough.

The Cavaliers lost after winning.

This makes O'Neal very happy.

In the recent period, his greatest pleasure, besides taking the Nets to abuse food, is watching the Cavaliers jokes.

He just wanted to see when Chen Xiao and James, the two ‘justice must win’ boys cried.

In fact, it is not just O'Neal at this time, but many people want to know that Chen Xiao and James will have emotional problems.

"Wonder Boy and Son of the Chosen still had brilliant expressions on their faces when they attended the press conference after the game. The two praised Peja's performance in this game. Wonder Boy believes that Peja's performance this season is an mvp-level performance. At the same time James also praised the strength of the Kings, saying that the Kings are one of the strongest teams in the NBA."

"At the same time, Wonder Boy and James also praised their teammates' performance in this game. The loss of this game is their own responsibility."

Watching Chen Xiao and James smiling and talking on TV made O'Neill feel uncomfortable.

Of course, when O'Neill was uncomfortable, the experts in tnt's studio on TV were amazed.

One of the former Bulls retired, wearing big glasses, said: "If this is not what they pretended, then Wonder Boy and LeBron James are better leaders than Michael. If it is Michael, some of us must have a bruised nose and a swollen face. "

On the second day, a reporter deliberately relayed the words of the bull's former celebrity to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao expressed his anger.

"Michael is not such a person. Michael is good at everything. The only downside is that he brought out a group of white-eyed wolf teammates!"

Good guy, the American reporters at the scene were all trapped.

At the post-match conference between the Cavaliers and the 76ers, Chen Xiao was not angry because the Cavaliers lost again in this game, but was actually angry that Jordan was ridiculed by his former teammates.

And after Chen Xiao got angry, James next to him, of course, also had to defend his idol.

"Michael has six championships. I don't have anything. Chen has only one. I don't think one is greater than six."

After being defeated by the 76ers 95-87 at home, the Cavaliers continued their devilish schedule.

Then the Cavaliers lost to the Magic 109-118 at home and lost to the Heat 94-103 at home.

After ending these two scenes of losses to the league’s super teams, the Cavaliers’ record has become 23 wins and 21 losses. Although the winning percentage is still at 50%, the Cavaliers’ record has now fallen from ninth in the East to the East. tenth.

The ninth team in the East is now 25 wins and 20 losses, led by Ray Allen for the Bucks.

The eleventh Boston Celtics in the East have a record of 22 wins and 24 losses.

Well, the Celtics are some distance away from the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers' tenth position in the East shouldn't be a problem.

In fact, it doesn't matter to be surpassed by the Bucks. For the Cavaliers, the most important thing is what is the record of eighth from the East.

The Hornets, currently eighth in the East, have a record of 27 wins and 18 losses. In fact, the Hornets have not been in a good condition recently, but they can't stand the Cavaliers losing too much, so they have opened a gap with the Cavaliers.

Falling to tenth in the East, the Hornets record gap from eighth in the East has further widened. The Cavaliers at this time are definitely their most difficult and desperate moments of the season.

At this time, logically speaking, it should be the time for the two boys, Chen Xiao and James, to cry in despair, right?

But what disappointed O'Neal was at the press conference after losing to the Heat.

Chen Xiao did not cry, James did not cry.

The two were still smiling at this time.

"Did Wade and Yao Ming comfort me after the game? No, Wade and Yao Ming told me that they want to take mvp in this year's All-Stars. I said yes, I support them."

This is what Chen Xiao said, as if the failure of this game was insignificant to him and the Cavaliers.

"I am very happy that Dwyane did not target me again in this game. Dwyane said I was good. I finally scored 20 points against the Heat. This is a memorable day."

This is what James said.

Both Chen Xiao and James had smiles on their faces, without the slightest feeling of losing or frustration.

This shocked many American journalists who were trembling about the Cavaliers and James.

Brother, it's all like this, are you really not worried at all?

In response, Chen Xiao and James smiled slightly.

The more now, the less we should worry.

We have all lost four games in a row. We have lost 8 of the past twelve games. It is almost dawn. We are still crying, crying for a ball!

To be fair, 8 of the past 12 games have been lost. This record is indeed very crushing, but he, James, and the Cavaliers players did not collapse.

This is the greatest achievement!

This is a huge gain that is more important than anything else!

"I believe that our partners in justice must have become more resilient."

After attending the post-match press conference with the Heat, Chen Xiao and James smiled at each other.

After losing to the Heat at home and ending five consecutive home games for the Devil, the Cavaliers will play away against the Milwaukee Bucks on January 30.

The tenth in the East and the ninth in the East.

In fact, the Bucks have already been waiting for this game.

The Bucks are now in good condition, and Ray Allen and Michael Reid's guard combination has become more and more tacit.

The Cavaliers are now tenth in the Eastern Conference and look desperate, but this team still has the hope of making the playoffs.

"In these two games we are going to destroy the hopes of the Cavaliers!"

The Bucks head coach and Portland Trail Blazers legendary guard Terry Porter told the Bucks players before the game.

"Don't be deceived by the optimism shown by Wonder Boy and the Chosen Son. Everything they have shown on the outside is pretend, and now they have collapsed inside."

"As a veteran who has played in the NBA for 17 years, I can tell you very responsibly that there is no young team that can withstand such failures without collapsing, even an experienced team. Can't withstand the pressure of 8 losses in 12 stops and 9 losses in 13 matches!"

"Now, what we need to do is to put the last straw on the Cavaliers and let them be completely finished!"

"The Cavaliers are over, the Hornets are declining, and our Bucks will enter the playoffs!"

Terry Porter is a rookie head coach. As a rookie head coach, it is very good to bring this torn apart team that was originally made by George Karl to play such a record.

His technical and tactical ability, that is definitely not there.

He is a typical nba chicken soup head coach.

One of his better points is that he can make chicken soup and can tolerate the random play of the team's stars.

Therefore, Ray Allen, who served as the team's point guard this season, played the best offensive performance of his career.

After being devastated by George Carl for so many years, Ray Allen finally killed George Carr, Kassel, and the big dog. In the end, he himself became the last big dog. Winner.

Under such great anger, great sadness, and great joy, Lei Allen also completely let go of himself.

Last season's anger with George Carl not only opened a new door for him, but also allowed him to finally lead the Bucks to the powerful Pacers.

And this is the main reason why George Carr finally left.

The Bucks Black Six last season really did not rely on George Karl's skills and tactics, but on Ray Allen's unreasonable throwing shots.

Almost relying on one person's offensive threat, the defensive Pacers were destroyed.

Where did the Pacers have seen a player like Ray Allen.

Reggie Miller is the benchmark for Ray Allen and their type of players, Reggie Miller has been beaten.

As the head of the Pacers, Reggie Miller averaged 9.2 points per game in the playoffs last season, shooting 16% in the three divisions. Reggie Miller averaged more than 23 points per game in the playoffs last season.

It is precisely because of this round of the series that George Carr knew he would never send Ray Allen away.

The Bucks' management is not a fool, Ray Allen is so strong now, the style of play is so good, and the fans like it so much.

Unless you trade Chen Xiao, James, Kobe, McGrady, Iverson and Carter, there is no way!

In this case, Ray Allen won't go, let me go.

George Carl is gone.

The Bucks found Terry Porter, a coach who knows nothing. Such a coach is suitable for Ray Allen now. According to your style of play, how comfortable you are, you don't need to think about the head coach's arrangements.

I have to say that the Bucks management is still a bit level.

Ray Allen and Terry Porter complement each other very well this season.

Under Terry Porter's indulgence, Ray Allen and Mike Reid's combination of shots and shots in the backcourt, it really feels like a shot in the league.

This season, Ray Allen averaged 19.5 shots per game and 8.5 three-point shots per game, all of his career highs. The season so far has averaged 27.5 points per game and 6.5 assists per game, all of which are career highs.

If it weren’t for the strongest Eastern Conference in history this season, Ray Allen might even be able to compete in mvp. This season’s Bucks, in the Eastern Conference of the past few seasons, had no problem with their record in the top four. The top four records are matched by Ray. Allen's data and performance, competing mvp is really not a fantasy.

The younger brother of Ray Allen, Michael Reid, has also performed well this season, averaging 22.7 points per game.

The backcourt combination of Michael Reid and Ray Allen is also the second group of the NBA this season to average more than 50 points per game in the backcourt duo.

The other group is of course Chen Xiao and James.

In short, after George Carl was gone, this stag was a bit new.

But now, after the Bucks slowly adapted to Ray Allen's style of play, his strength became stronger and stronger visible to the naked eye.

With 9 losses in the first 13 games, the last four losing streak, the Cavaliers have a poor record and encountered such a rising team.

What kind of sparks will be rubbed?

"Will rub those two boys until they cry!"

O'Neal smiled and continued to say to Carter and his teammates next to him: "This game~www.NovelMTL.com~ we will definitely see them crying!"

Carter watched Chen Xiao appearing on TV amidst the cheers of Milwaukee fans. Those eyes...

"That's still a pair of eyes that still have hope."

Hum, what hope or not, fake, all fake!

I want to watch them cry now!

Hum, dare to black the great Shaq, deserve it!
