I’m Really Playing Basketball

  Chapter 287 Our goal is now the championship!

  The Cavaliers have advanced!

Although a few days ago, when the Cavaliers led the Pistons 3-0, Cleveland fans knew that the Cavaliers' promotion to the Eastern Conference finals was a foregone conclusion.

  But when the Cavaliers really defeated the Pistons and entered the Eastern Conference Finals, for the Cleveland fans in front of the TV, this was still a crazy and happy result.

  At this time, they really felt the happiness of being blessed by God.

  A team can have two players who are blessed by God, that is really happiness.

  At this moment, at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.

  As the winner of this game, Chen Xiao and the host players of the Pistons hugged one by one.

  Hamilton, Billups, Ben Wallace, Prince...

  These are Chen Xiao’s friends.

  Although Chen Xiao had a competitive relationship with them during this round of the series, there was no communication off the court, but after the game, the relationship between everyone was still very harmonious.

  Let’s put it this way, if it weren’t for Larry Brown and Rasheed Wallace to make trouble, even if something happened to Rogo last season, everyone’s relationship hasn’t gotten worse.

   is not a joke. Although Chen Xiao felt that Daben did not do it authentically last season, Luo Ge himself forgave Daben, and he had no other way.

  In fact, Chen Xiao still cannot understand the American culture of confrontation and competition.

  After all, he is a Chinese.

  But, whether it is Chinese or American, Larry Brown and Rashid Wallace's behavior is disgusting. This should be recognized.

  That is beyond the scope of confrontation and competition.

   "Chen, originally we thought that this season we are the team that is blessed by God."

   While hugging Chen Xiao, Billups smiled and said to Chen Xiao.

   And hearing Billups say so, Chen Xiao also laughed.

   "Many teams think so."

   After Chen Xiao finished talking with a smile, Billups laughed after a moment.

   Indeed, the strongest opponent was hacked by the Cavaliers in the first round.

  This makes the Pistons, Heat, Magic, 76ers, and even the opposite Timberwolves and Kings feel that they are the best choice this season.

  However, because the Pistons and the Heat are the ones facing the Nets, the Pistons players feel more intense than other teams' players, and this is for sure.

   "However, now I think, Chen, maybe you are the team chosen this season."

   "Chauncey, are you telling the truth or not?"

"of course it's true!"

"Man, if you beat our team and be defeated by the championship, it will also make us feel better. So, Chen, come on, since you can beat us, you can beat any team in the league. This season's You are still full of magic."

   Billups said with a smile, and after patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder, he left the arena with Hamilton and the Pistons players.

   is really a group of narcissistic guys.

   "However, these guys make a lot of sense."

  Chen Xiao looked at the back of these guys and said with a smile.

   have come to this point, if they really pay the full price, they can really beat any team.

  After all, his magic power hasn’t been exhausted yet.

  In the history of the NBA, the most successful team this season is the Pistons eliminated by the Cavaliers.

  As a historical championship, the Pistons were eliminated by the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This means that this season is not just a process, even the results are also completely different from history.

  This season's NBA has once again taken a completely different path.

  Of course, neither the American audience in front of the TV nor the Chinese audience knows this.

  For American audiences, the Cavaliers this season is really quite legendary.

  An eighth team in the East, in the East, which is known as the strongest in history, actually made a **** way and touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals.

  For Chinese audiences, in addition to legends, there are more for granted.

  "The first man in the NBA led the assist king to the Eastern Conference Finals. What's so amazing about this?"

   "Xiao Su said in the commentary that the Cavaliers' goal this season has always been the championship, and Chen Xiao's goal has always been the championship!"

  In this whole, Chen Xiao doesn’t know what kind of mentality he will use to face those domestic fans who expect so much from him.

  In other words, Chen Xiao really does not need to care too much about the expectations of domestic fans.

  In history, Dayao has been a goal championship every year during the off-season, and he regrets to be out in the last year. But for Chinese fans, which one is not to continue looking forward to?

  Not to mention, Chen Xiao has also succeeded.

  So, let the Chinese audience look forward to it. If you can meet such expectations, just do your best.

  I really want to always meet the expectations of the Chinese audience. To be honest, according to Teacher Zhang, Chen Xiao is not a human being, that is a god.

   However, in any case, because of the unexpected exit of Yao Ming and the Heat, coupled with the elimination of Bago and the Lakers, the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao once again became the only seedlings of Chinese players in the NBA playoffs.

  This also allowed the Chinese audience to put all their expectations on Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers once again.

After the Cavaliers reached the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Xiao felt the high expectations of the Chinese audience.

  At the same time, James also felt that Cleveland fans had the same high expectations for him and the Cavaliers this season.

   However, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan can handle such expectations well.

  After all, this season...

   "Our goal is now the championship!"

  Yes, after knocking out the Pistons and entering the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Xiao and James shouted out their hidden goals this season after the game.

  In the press conference after the game, reporters asked whether it was an accident to get to this point this season, and at the same time, has the goal of this season changed?

  The answers of Chen Xiao and James both satisfied the reporters at the scene.

"We will not say that our goal for this season was the championship at the beginning. We are a young team. When I came to the Cavaliers, the words I heard the most were that the championship was for the Nets. By the end of the season. In the game, we defeated the Nets. After defeating the Nets, Rick told us that the Pistons are very strong and they also have the strength to win the championship. Now, we have defeated the Pistons."

  "After defeating the Pistons, you told us that the Magic are now the biggest favorites to win."

   "We will not say that we can beat the Magic 100%, but now, I can tell you very loudly that we have now entered the Eastern Conference Finals, and now, our goal is the championship!"

   Speaking of it, what Chen Xiao said really stunned the American reporters at the scene and made Xiao Zhan's blood boil over.

  You always say, who is the strongest, but we have been beating the strongest. After we beat all the strongest, we are the strongest!

  So, when the American reporter at the scene looked at James.

  Xiao Zhan couldn’t hide the excitement on his face and said: “I think Chen said a lot. Now, our goal is the championship!”

  In the press conference after the game, the goal of this season was corrected to the championship, which of course made Chen Xiao and James cool.

  A miracle of Kaiserslautern, I can finally say it.

  After saying it, it's cool, it must be cool.

  But, the pressure must be huge.

   "Xiao Zhan, are you afraid?"

   "Don't be afraid, now my blood is boiling!"

  Xiao Zhan smiled and said to Chen Xiao.

  In other words, the five teams that are still in the NBA playoffs, the other four teams, the Magic, the 76ers, the Timberwolves and the Kings.

  The nemesis teams of the Cavaliers are the 76ers and the Kings, against these two teams, it is really no match, just like against the Heat.

   However, if the Timberwolves and Magic are facing each other, the current Cavaliers will have the strength to fight.

  So, for the Cavaliers, there is no chance.

  As long as the Eastern Conference finals play the Magic and the finals play the Timberwolves, then the Cavaliers have a chance.

  Moreover, as the season progresses, James feels that this kind of situation that is very beneficial to the Cavaliers may really happen.

  For the NBA championship, strength is very important, but luck and opportunity are really very important.

  If the Pistons and Heat in the first round of the game advance to the Heat.

  I'm afraid the Cavaliers have been swept out by the Heat.

  There is no need to fantasize about championships at all.

   "Xiao Chen, I now think that Billups may be really right. The team of choice this season may be us!"

The   nemesis all disappeared. Every opponent can fight it. At the end of the fight, what will we get?

  James is looking forward to it, and Chen Xiao is also looking forward to it.

  On May 16, 2004, Orlando, Florida, home to the Magic and 76ers in a tie-break.

  After the Cavaliers were promoted, the 76ers and the Magic players in this game were like chicken blood.

  No way, for both teams, they swept the Cavaliers in the regular season.

  Although the regular season record is not of great reference value for the playoffs, it is not completely without reference value.

  Although the teams that used the Cavaliers as a spree are now cold, the Magic and 76ers feel that the Cavaliers are indeed a spree that fell from the sky.

  So, as long as you defeat the opponent, you can easily defeat the Cavaliers and enter the finals.

  Cleveland, as the first team to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers are now relaxing watching the Magic and the 76ers play a tie-break.

In the end, Shifo Duncan, who had been playing dead in the game before this season, faced Mutombo and Kenny Thomas's insides, punched one by one, and used one person to rule the entire inside performance and lead the Magic. In the end, they defeated the 76ers 101-91 at home.

  In this game, Duncan was 11-for-18. He scored 30 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 6 blocks in the game. This data is shocking.

   "We finally saw once again the strongest forward in history who could face the Lakers in the playoffs, face O'Neal, and win a quadruple double last season!"

  Good fellow, listening to the roar of TNT commentary, the Cavaliers players in front of the TV shouted good fellow in their hearts.

  But, Duncan is really strong, you can't accept this.

  Especially Chen Xiao who knows Duncan’s true strength.

  This, but the real strongest player in the NBA, an S-level player!

  The entire league, now there are only 2!

   One inside and one outside, one Deng and one subject.

  As the Magic finally defeated the 76ers in a tie-break.

  The Cavaliers' opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals are also out.

  Magic!

  The Eastern Conference finals between the Cavaliers and the Magic will start on May 22, with the Cavaliers going away first.

  As the hottest team in the league, the Cavaliers led by Chen Xiao and James will cause a huge sensation no matter which opponent they are playing against.

  There is no way, the Cavaliers are playing too hot in the playoffs this season.

  However, although the Cavaliers will pay a lot of attention to which opponent they are playing against, but for the Magic, the attention of this round of the series is particularly high.

  Because after the Magic defeated the 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

  Whether it is ESPN or TNT, all NBA stars are already frantically discussing the matchup between Chen Xiao and Duncan.

  In the tie-break between the Magic and the 76ers, Duncan once again demonstrated the strength of an inside player who can make a four-double.

  The most powerful striker in history, he deserves it.

  But, Chen Xiao, who is opposite, is also not easy to follow.

  In the 6 games against the Pistons, Chen Xiao’s performance was also epic.

  The last 52+17+7 is also a legend in the NBA playoffs.

  In the entire series, Chen Xiao shot 53% and averaged 29.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.2 blocks per game. This is also an epic performance.

  Really, this is almost a triple-double of 30+!

  30+ triple-doubles in the playoffs!

  The last time a player with similar stats had to go back to Oscar Robertson.

  Seriously, because a certain turtle has not made a debut, the data has not depreciated yet.

  So, whether it is a fan, an expert or a famous journalist, when you see this kind of data, you will feel that it is a big cross.

  No, no matter what time it is, you will feel that it is not good!

  For Duncan and Chen Xiao, who is the strongest player in history when these two players are at the power forward position?

  According to the statistics of USA Today, various media in the United States brought in different experts and celebrities to discuss, and finally gave Jaylen.

  There are almost 100 experts in the United States. They do not vote repeatedly. The final vote of these 100 experts is a very staggering 55 to 45.

  Duncan is in front and Chen Xiao is behind.

  Although most experts feel that Duncan is now stronger at the power forward position, Chen Xiao can actually get 45 votes.

  And if the other three of the five big forwards are included.

  Duncan, Chen Xiao, Garnett, Webb and Nowitzki got 33 to 31 to 31 to 2 to 3.

  This is a very amazing result.

  Many people know that when the league was discussing who was the strongest forward in history, the current players, Duncan and Garnett, were basically 50-50.

   But now, Chen Xiao has actually joined Duncan and Garnett’s discussion.

  Many people feel that Chen Xiao's current strength at power forwards can be compared with Duncan and Garnett.

  This is amazing.

  And even more amazing is the four teams left in the playoffs this year.

  The king and Timberwolves over there in the west.

  The Magic and Cavaliers in the East.

  The bosses of the four teams are all power forwards.

  Four of the five major forwards in the league, each brought their team to the conference finals.

  So, before the start of the East and West Division finals, many experts said that the playoffs this time are likely to be a series to identify who is the number one power forward in the NBA.

  Seriously, Chen Xiao is very proud of comparing himself with Duncan and Garnett by these expert media in the United States.

  If the ability is purely better than the inside, he is definitely not better than Duncan. After all, Duncan is not only a top power forward or a top center.

If it is purely better than the defensive ability of the inside, he must be inferior to Garnett. Now he has understood the idol of the spirit of the wolf king, and is invincible in defense. Whether it is assisted defense or single defense, he is invincible at the power forward position. .

  Simple compared to comprehensive ability, that is, attribute ability, Chen Xiao is definitely not better than Duncan and Garnett.

  But, Chen Xiao also has things that Garnett and Duncan don’t.

  His three-pointer is better than Nowitzki.

  His attack range is simply the strongest in NBA history.

  And this is why so many experts will put it in the same position as Duncan Garnett.

According to Barkley: "I think Tim said a lot. Wonder Boy is everyone’s perfect fantasy of power forwards. On defense, he is a smaller and weaker Garnett. On offense, he is Nowitzki, who is faster and stronger, is Chris Weber who is shorter and more accurate in passing control. For me, as a power forward, Wonder Boy has no weaknesses. He is A combination of Duncan, Garnett, and Chris Weber."

"If you want to ask me, Duncan and Wonder Boy are stronger, which one is stronger? Of course I would think Duncan is stronger, but if you ask me, Duncan and Wonder Boy confrontation, who can win, I will not hesitate That said, Wonder Boy!"

"I know that after I say this, you will laugh at me. You all predicted that the Cavaliers and Magic will win this round of the series. The final victory will be the Magic. The final big score may be 4 to 2 or 4 to 1, in six games. Solved, I also predicted that this round of the series will end in six games, but the Cavaliers will win in the end!"

   "Yes, the Cavaliers will eventually win this round of the series, and the final result is within six games!"

"Scott, you are right. I don't know how to win the championship without you, but no one of you here knows power forwards better than me, especially you, Scott. Your six rings can't make up the gap in our strength. "

  In TNT's studio, Barkley is simply talking to the crowd.

  And this time, he actually won.

  After Pippen offered his big move against Barkley, there was no scum left by Barkley to kill Pippen this time.

  Before the start of the series between the Cavaliers and the Magic, the discussion about which strength between Chen Xiao and Duncan, the Cavaliers and the Magic is stronger, has been on the screen throughout the NBA.

  No way, the four big forwards led the team to the final four.

  The clustering effect is too strong.

   Just like the big four guards leading their teams to the final semi-finals of the NBA playoffs, you can see if the world will be crazy.

  Really, at this time, the whole world is really crazy about the four big forwards or the five big forwards.

   And Chen Xiao, just entered the top five guards last season.

  This season, once again firmly entered the top five forwards.

  This really makes the entire NBA blind.

  Now the whole NBA is frantically discussing which one is better between Duncan and Chen Xiaoganet. This is already a recognition of Chen Xiao’s power as a power forward.

  Now, basically, it can be said that the entire NBA has recognized that Chen Xiao is playing power forward, at the same level as Duncan and Garnett.

  The three have different styles and strengths, but they are of the same level.

   Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed about this.

  He actually wanted to say that Duncan is one level above everyone else.

  However, in the comparison between the Cavaliers and the Magic, there is no such intense contrast between Duncan and Chen Xiao.

  In the strength comparison between knight and magic.

  The position of center, Chandler and Duncan, Duncan will definitely win.

  The position of power forward, Chen Xiao and Gu Deng, Gu Deng wins.

  Small forward position, Darius Miles and Mike Miller, Miller wins

  The position of shooting guard, Korver and McGrady, McGrady won.

  The position of point guard, James and Parker, James won.

  The sixth man and the rotation, Crawford and Ginobili, etc., the Magic won.

  Comparison of six items, the Magic finally won 4 items. Therefore, this is the reason why many people say that the Magic may finally end the series within six games.

  The Cavaliers play magic, not without their own advantages, there are.

  But, the Magic has a bigger advantage here.

   Just as the Magic and Cavaliers were quarreling in this round of the series, the first game of the Western Conference Finals on the Western Conference took the lead on May 21.

The Kings took the lead and defeated the Timberwolves 104-98 away. In this game, Webber and Garnett, the second of the five major forwards, played together. Kassel made 15 of 25 and 7 of 11 three-pointers, slashing 40 points, but The opposite Bibby also scored 33 points, and the other 6 people scored in double figures, while the Timberwolves only scored in double figures.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Timberwolves very strongly~www.NovelMTL.com~ After this game, many people were exclaiming that the Kings finally wanted their daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law. After three years, this season is finally about to enter the finals. !

  In fact, Chen Xiao thinks so too.

  The king is really strong in this game.

  More importantly, the king’s strength is really strong!

   "I feel that this season's championship may be the King's."

  In Chen Xiao’s home, Chris Paul, who has been determined to participate in this year’s draft, said excitedly to the three brothers next to him.

  Why couldn't Chris Paul take part in the draft a year in advance?

  No way, the magical performances of Chen Xiao and James in the Cavaliers this season really stimulated him.

   "I, Chris Paul, can't help it!"

   "Brothers, I want to play the NBA too!"
