I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 256: Shaq, you can't run!

After beating the Hornets and Hawks at home in the beginning of March, the pair of O'Neal and Chen Xiao's CP was again hyped by the American media.

Because the Cavaliers’ current eighth position in the East has been firmly established, and the Nets’ position as the number one in the East has basically no team to challenge, the probability of encountering the two teams in the playoffs has been very, very good. Big.

In this case, Chen Xiao and O'Neal had the grievances of last season's finals, and Chen Xiao also said, ‘Even O’Neal’s grandmother cannot bring down the two strongest teams in history. "Such a famous saying, and what happened to Chen Xiao in this year's All-Star Game that he sabotaged O'Neal's journey to Los Angeles, and as a leader, the All-Stars in the East and West Department took O'Neal in turn.

It would be weird if this group of American journalists didn't hype up such a **** feud and such a complicated relationship.

This is big news!

So throughout March, the news on the American side was all about Chen Xiao and O'Neal's grievances, as well as discussions about the story that will happen after the Cavaliers and Nets meet in the playoffs.

At the same time, in the media, reporters and insiders of the Nets or Cavaliers kept breaking the news. O'Neal spoke again today, and Chen Xiao mentioned O'Neal in internal conversations today, and so on.

Mainly O'Neal is talking.

After all, the Nets are number one in the Eastern Conference and the Cavaliers are eighth in the Eastern Conference. The world can clearly see how big the gap between the two teams is.

The two teams are really not of the same level.

How can the weak keep saying that they want to teach the strong, of course the strong keep saying that they want to teach the weak.

In fact, Chen Xiao never talked to O'Neill in private at all.

Although the Cavaliers started their winning streak in March, the eighth position in the East has stabilized a lot.

But the schedule is still not that simple.

Throughout March, the Cavaliers' schedule was not so easy. The reason why O'Neal, a big guy, has been talking outside the media is not for anything else, but to disturb Chen Xiao's mentality and the mentality of the Cavaliers.

How could Chen Xiao be fooled?

Chen Xiao will definitely not be fooled!

So throughout March, after two consecutive victories, in the remaining 13 games, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to a good result of 7 wins and 6 losses.

Well, don't think that the result of 7 wins and 6 losses is not good.

In these 13 games, the Cavaliers' opponents include the Bucks, Raptors, Pacers, Jazz, Pistons, 76ers, Nets, Mavericks and other strong teams.

Especially these games are mostly away games.

Although the Cavaliers schedule in March is not as devilish as January, it is also difficult.

Therefore, the Cavaliers, which had a 9-6 record in a single month in March, are already very good, not to mention exceptionally good.

After these 15 games in March, the Cavaliers now have a record of 42 wins and 32 losses.

At this time, the Hornets have a record of 38 wins and 36 losses. The original record of the Hornets, the ninth in the Eastern Conference and the most threatening to the Cavaliers, has fallen to the tenth place in the Eastern Conference.

The ninth in the East has become the Bucks led by Ray Allen.

The Bucks' record is now 40 wins and 33 losses.

The Bucks played well under Ray Allen in March and even beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

So after the end of March, the original three teams competing for eight in the East became two teams competing for eight.

The Cavaliers have stabilized their record in this difficult March, while the Hornets have not stabilized and left behind.

The Cavaliers are able to stabilize the record in such a regular season sprint under such a high pressure situation, instead of directly crashing like the Hornets.

Of course, it's because of the two masters of the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao and James, brothers and sisters, working together.

Where are they like the Hornets, the fourth quarter shot right is not clear. Many games that could have been won were stupefied by them.

Throughout March, Chen Xiao averaged 28 shots per game and hit 13 times. With a 46.4% shooting rate, he averaged 35.5 points, 6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

Throughout March, Chen Xiao's shots were second only to the Cavaliers' most difficult January. In January, Chen Xiao averaged 29.8 shots per game.

It can also be seen from this that the more difficult the Cavaliers are, the more they rely on Chen Xiao.

So in March, when Chen Xiao averaged 28 shots per game, his shooting percentage dropped by a large margin compared to February.

Chen Xiao averaged 25.7 shots per game in 13 games throughout February and averaged 12.7 per game, averaging 34.9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 49.4%.

But as Chen Xiao's shots increased, Chen Xiao's efficiency also declined.

However, for NBA players, they can still maintain a shooting rate of more than 45% even when averaging close to 30 shots per game. This is actually very powerful.

In the history of the NBA, few people can do it.

It is precisely because the Cavaliers' current scoring is too dependent on Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao finished playing in March of this season, and his total scoring this season has reached 2,543 points.

You know, Chen Xiao only played 74 games this season. In other words, Chen Xiao's scoring average this season has reached an astonishing 34.36 points.

This scoring average is firmly in the second place in the NBA scoring list.

Well, it's very stable. It's far away from Kobe, who averaged 37 points in the first game, and can't catch up. It's also far from Iverson, who averaged 31.5 points in the third game.

Of course, Iverson only played almost half of the game, so Iverson did not enter the scoring list because of not enough games.

Therefore, the third in the scoring list is Ray Allen, who averaged 27.8 points per game.

Behind Ray Allen is Pierce, who averaged 26 points per game.

After that, it was Garnett.

As for some of the other players in the top five points, McGrady and Carter have not averaged more than 24 points per game this season because of other super giants around them.

Losing a lot of shot rights in exchange for a crazy increase in the team's strength is another kind of life.

It is also difficult to say which life like Chen Xiao and Kobe is better than Carter McGrady's life.

In January, February and March, Chen Xiao’s score was crazy, and his average data per game was also very strong. However, because of the fact that his record was not so good, Chen Xiao did not have the best of the month in December. The best month to get.

However, the best of the week got 4.

At this point, Garnett is much happier in the West this season.

This season, except for the first month of Peja’s monthly best, the rest of the Western Conference’s monthly best is all Garnett’s.

By the way, the Cavaliers were able to stabilize under such a lot of pressure in March, of course, relying on two legs.

In addition to Chen Xiao's crazy scoring, James' crazy assists also contributed.

Throughout March, Xiao Zhan averaged a staggering 12 points per game.

Now Xiao Zhan's scoring average has begun to open against Nash.

Nash's ability to lead this season has shocked many people across the United States.

Everyone thought that the Raptors, who were the last to last this season, had reached the seventh place in the Eastern Conference, and even now they are threatening the sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

This is something that many people have not thought of.

Nash and D'Antoni's running frenzy in the Raptors and Ray Allen's shooting frenzy in the Bucks are definitely one of the most beautiful scenery in the league this season.

Compared to Ray Allen's evaluation, Nash's evaluation this season is even higher.

After all, Nash has a better record with the Raptors.

Therefore, many people now think that Nash's organizational ability is comparable to Kidd.

They are all laughing at Kuban for replacing Nash and implementing the so-called five-star strategy.

After Nash came to the Raptors this season, he had a very good time, his evaluation continued to improve, and his recognition continued to expand. However, the assist king is not necessarily the best player in the organization.

Those with many assists are not necessarily those with strong assist ability.

In the absence of a very reliable and stable scoring point, even if Nash's organizational ability is better than Xiao Zhan now, it is estimated that it will be more and more difficult to compete with Xiao Zhan for the position of assists this season, basically. impossible.

Xiao Zhan is now assisting Chen Xiao, which is really addictive.

Especially in the fourth quarter, the team reached the most critical moment.

Xiao Zhan dribbled the ball there. After almost 15 seconds, he passed it to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao raised his hand and shot. If he missed a shot, he would miss a shot. A shot would be an assist.

Let me tell you, Chen Xiao’s current ability to catch the pot, just like this, the hit rate is not low.

Therefore, according to the NBA’s official statistics, Chen Xiao is the player with the most points per game in the fourth quarter of the NBA this season, averaging 12 points per game, while James is the player with the most assists per game in the fourth quarter. 4.15 assists.

Imagine that Nash had a pick and roll with Milicic and the others, and spent a long time passing the ball to Milicic. His shot rate may be the same as that of Chen Xiao's tumor shots. You said, Nash was there for a long time to assist. Efficiency, take the lead and little Jamby?

It is very rare for Nash to hold on to the assists with Xiao Zhan until this time, and it is already very strong.

In short, throughout March, Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan and the Cavaliers were very happy.

Therefore, on March 25th, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan also went to the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey to watch the NCAA Round of 16. Wake Forest University played against St. Joseph University.

However, in the face of Chen Xiao, James and Anthony's help, Wake Forest University led by Chris Paul lost 80-84 to the University of San Jose led by Jamal Nelson and Derondi West.

With the help of the brothers, Paul, who lost the game, felt uncomfortable.

The game was blasted by Nelson and West. The two scored 48 points. This is amazing in the NCAA.

In this game, Paul was only 2 of 6 and scored 12 points and 8 assists. It can be said that both offensively and defensively, he lost.

But, as a first-year player, leading the team to the quarter-finals, this is very good.

Therefore, Chen Xiao, James, and Anthony comforted Paul, but being so comforted by the three of them made Paul even more uncomfortable.

Chen Xiao and James Anthony knew why Paul was so uncomfortable.

Because Paul is going to participate in the draft after the NCAA this year.

Chen Xiao, James and Anthony's success in the NCAA really stimulated him.

If his performance in the NCAA this season is very good, then he can be ranked high in the NCAA.

In the first two games of the championship playing very well, as long as this game can be won against the strongest backcourt combination of the NCAA, Paul can enter the higher draft zone from the lottery zone.

After Paul scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in the last game, I can tell you that most of the NBA scouts are dispatched.

As long as Paul played against Derondi West and Nelson in this game against the University of San Jose, and led Wake Forest to the top eight, then Paul participated in the 2004 NBA draft and at least finished in the top three. Bit.

It's a pity, at the most critical moment, Chris dropped the chain.

This makes Chen Xiao, James and Anthony feel sorry for him.

So, now Chris Paul is very sad.

Moreover, such sadness and regret, regret, only he can solve it, Chen Xiao and the brothers really have no way.

After watching Paul's game on March 25, the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao and James were beaten away by the 76ers and the Nets, the two superpower Eastern teams.

Although the 76ers are sixth in the Eastern Conference this season, experts have ranked the 76ers in third gear.

Experts believe that the 76ers can't have a higher record.

But this season the 76ers feel that as long as they are not seventh and eighth to play the Magic and Nets, sixth and third actually do not matter.

Ray Allen was able to bring the Bucks to the Black Pacers last season.

The 76ers feel that Iverson can also take the 76ers black walkers.

Therefore, in order to let Iverson fight for the regular season record, it is better to let Iverson rest this season and go to the playoffs.

This is also the strategy the 76ers struggled with.

So, don’t look at the Sixers this season, sixth in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers have never won against the Sixers this season...

On April 2, 2004, the Cavaliers challenged the Bucks away in their first game in April. Now the Cavaliers and the Bucks are one game short of victory. In this game, the Bucks have a chance to win and have a chance to eighth. The status of entering the playoffs.

If the Bucks lose in this game, then almost everything will be over.

So the Bucks at home in this game played very fiercely as soon as they came up. Ray Allen made 5 of 7 in the first quarter, shot 15 points in a single quarter, and hit 5 three-pointers in a single quarter.

Of course, the Cavaliers won’t show weakness. Chen Xiao was 6 of 8 and scored 14 points. Compared with Lei Allen’s crazy three-pointers, Chen Xiao didn’t shoot a three-pointer in the first quarter, all of which were two points. Shot.

The Bucks were frantically defending Chen Xiao's three-pointer. If you don't allow me to shoot, I won't shoot. It's not that I don't have other offensive capabilities.

In the first quarter, the Bucks were 31 to 29, leading by two points.

Obviously, with Ray Allen so accurate, he was 2 points ahead in the first quarter, and the Bucks were naturally dissatisfied.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, after Ray Allen's touch dropped slightly, the Cavaliers hit a single quarter 26 to 24, tying the score.

In the third quarter, Ray Allen's touch came back, and he could shoot crazy again.

In this quarter, not only Ray Allen's touch came, but Reid's touch was also very explosive, 5 of 8 in a single quarter, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 13 points, plus Ray Allen's 17 points in a single quarter. , The two men scored 30 points in a single quarter.

The Bucks almost flooded the Cavaliers in the third quarter like splashes and waterfalls.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao made 9 of 14 in a single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and 24 points in a single quarter to stabilize the score.

The Cavaliers ended up just 4 points behind 30 to 34.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks players who led by 4 points at home did not have any joy on their faces, all with that kind of regret.

The Bucks in the third quarter were so fierce. Ray Allen and Reid's tsunami brothers scored 30 points in a single quarter, but they were still bitten by the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao.

The Bucks' defense against Chen Xiao in this game was too focused on the three-point line, which gave Chen Xiao a lot of mid-range and short-range shooting opportunities.

The Bucks' defense in this area is just average, and of course Chen Xiao is clutching and playing vigorously.

As long as the third quarter is bitten, the Cavaliers have a chance.

If Ray Allen and Reid were as accurate as the third in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers would also recognize it.

But obviously, this probability is still very small.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks scored 18 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks made 3 of 14 three-pointers.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers scored 26 points in a single quarter led by Chen Xiao 6-for-10 and 14 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks 111-107 on the road.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 38 shots and made 24 hits. The shots were quite touchy. He scored 58 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

58 points is also the highest score of Chen Xiao's career.

At the same time, James scored 9 of 19 in this game, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 17 assists.

Well, most of Xiao Zhan's assists in this game were also given to Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao contributed 12 assists to Xiao Zhan alone in this game.

After watching this game, Nash, who is still very interested in the assist king this season, was in a desperate mood.

After defeating the Bucks in the away game, the 43-32 Cavaliers have basically determined their eighth place in the Western Conference.

And the Bucks, who lost this game, 41 wins and 34 losses, basically have no hope of the playoffs.

After all, there were only 7 games left in the end.

By the way, after Chen Xiao scored a career-high 58 points in this game against the Bucks, Chen Xiao's total career score has reached 4837 points, and only 163 points are left from the 5000-point mark.

According to Chen Xiao's average points per game this season, five games can be achieved, and a maximum of six games can achieve the achievement of 5000 points in his career.

The achievement of 5000 points in two seasons of his professional career, this is more than the youngest 5,000 points in history.

In the future, James can definitely surpass Chen Xiao to become the youngest 5,000 points gentleman, but it is absolutely impossible for James to get 5,000 points in two seasons.

Therefore, after playing the Bucks, the Chinese media and the national media have begun to pay attention to whether Chen Xiao can reach 5,000 points this season.

On April 10, 2004, the Cavaliers played back-to-back with the Heat at home and away in the second game against the Heat.

In the previous four games against the Warriors, Raptors, Grizzlies and Heat, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. In these four games, Chen Xiao scored 43 points, 32 points, 28 points, and 36 points. .

After playing these four games, Chen Xiao's career total score has reached 4973 points, which is only 27 points away from the 5,000-point mark.

In terms of Chen Xiao's scoring ability, although the Heat are very strong, it is very easy for Chen Xiao to score 27 points in this game.

Therefore, in this game, Chen Xiao is almost certain to achieve 5000 points in his career.

Chen Xiao has 5000 points in his career and is also a Chinese derby.

It is conceivable that this game has had a huge influence in China.

At the end of the third quarter, Chen Xiao received a pass from James after half the dribble and faced Odom for the final attack.

Facing Odom's defense, Chen Xiao did not attack directly, but instead played a pick-and-roll with the team's center Tyson Chandler and put Yao Ming in front of him.

Facing Dayao’s defense, Chen Xiao made a stride breakthrough, deceived Dayao back, and then followed a step-back jumper. Under the interference of Dayao's strenuous use of his short hand, Chen Xiao mid-range Two-point shot.

Hit!

The 28th point of the game!

After Chen Xiao hit the shot, he smiled and stretched out his right finger to Dayao.

"Dayao, Thisisforyou!"

Seeing Chen Xiao like this, Dayao was a little bit dumbfounded.

囧~

At the same time, Chen Xiao was excitedly saved by James behind him.

At the same time, Wade not far away, looking at the excited James and the embarrassing Yao Ming, are all envious.

And in China on the other side of the ocean, Chinese fans heard the excitement of Teacher Zhang, and many people also choked up.

"This is the 5001th point of Chen Xiao's career!"

"The first Chinese player in NBA history to score 5000 points in his career was born, and he is!"

"Chen-Xiao!"

When Teacher Zhang called out Chen Xiao's name, for a while, the entire land of China seemed to resound with the same name.

I don't even know how many people shouted this name for a day on this day, and their voices went hoarse.

100 to 111!

Chen Xiao chose to let Dayao give his five thousand points as his background.

Dayao chose to use a failure to give Chen Xiao as a gift.

Well, milestones, sad mileage, haha.

At the same time, Chen Xiao made 12 of 27 shots and scored 38 points in the game.

On April 14, 2004, New York, Madison Square Garden, the Cavaliers away game against the Knicks.

Because the Cavaliers unexpectedly lost at home to the Bucks in the last game, the eighth in the Eastern Conference, which had no suspense, once again created suspense.

Before the start of this game, the Cavaliers and Bucks had a record of 45 wins and 36 losses.

And because the Bucks and the Cavaliers have a 2-2 record, the winning percentage of the two teams in this division is also the same, and the winning percentage of the league is also the same.

If both teams win this game, even the winning percentage will be the same for both the league and the opposing league playoff teams.

In this case, the Cavaliers and the Bucks even have to play against each other.

The Bucks' last opponent was the No. 1 Nets in the Eastern Conference.

O'Neal laughed and announced before the start of the game that the Nets' main players had all their rotations off.

The Knicks announced that the game will be all the main players.

100 to 90!

The Cavaliers defeated the Knicks in the last game.

If the Bucks beat the Nets by 58 points or more in the final game, the Bucks will overtake the Cavaliers because of small points and become eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers and Knicks game ended.

James immediately asked about the score of the game next door.

Only Chen Xiao's face was smiling.

According to O'Neal before the game, it looks like he is really ready to let the Nets release.

Let it go crazy.

Xiao Zhan had concerns in this regard, but Chen Xiao never had any concerns in this regard.

"He won't. He will lose. He will never put 58 points."

Chen Xiao was very sure. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Because, the Nets are not alone in his decision.

"This kid!"

Watching Chen Xiao's smile on TV, without any nervous look, O'Neill gritted his teeth.

"It didn't scare him!"

At almost the same time, the smiling teenager on the TV looked at the camera and appeared on the TV frontally.

Then, open your mouth.

"Shaq, you can't run."

After a while, the United States is boiling!
