I’m Really Playing Basketball

The 2005 Denver All-Star Weekend was full of complaints and boredom.

As one of the most watched events in the NBA, this year's NBA All-Star Weekend could be concealed by a surprising deal from Jordan. It is really necessary to find your own problems.

Even if the All-Star Game hasn't started yet, even if it's just the Rookie Challenge, but since it's All-Star Weekend, there shouldn't be such a thing.

After the Rookie Challenge on February 18th, the Denver fans who were very happy to meet the NBA All-Star became angry.

The reason is that when the young Nuggets fans performed before the Rookie Challenge game yesterday, the young fans went to O'Neal to greet O'Neal, and then the big shark suddenly suffered from intermittent deafness and turned a deaf ear to the children's shouts.

This angered many Denver fans at the time.

The father of two of them, Luo Lin, was quite dissatisfied with O'Neill's indifference: "He can earn tens of millions of dollars a year, but he refuses to wave to my son."

You know, in this place in the United States, even if you are shooting with a gun, someone will find a reason for you to justify you, but when the object is a child, you are so embarrassed, as long as you do anything unusual to the child The thing that is absolutely heinous.

Therefore, after the rookie challenge on February 18th, Denver's local media stopped doing it.

Then began to frantically scold the All-Stars in the newspapers while expressing dissatisfaction with O'Neal's indifference to Denver fans.

"In Los Angeles, in New York, I bet O'Neal would never look like this. Everyone thinks Denver is a small place, even our own stars think so."

This is what the Denver Post, the largest newspaper in Denver, said. Why does it say that?

Because yesterday, a 19-year-old boy in Denver originally planned to go to the countryside to pick up his grandmother, but in order to see Anthony, he waited for four hours at the gate of ESPN on 16th Street. Finally, he waited until Anthony’s car came. When he got out of the limousine, the teenager struggled to hand over the signature book, but was swept to the ground by the security guard next to Anthony.

You know, the teenager is wearing a Nuggets jersey, Anthony's jersey.

However, the teenager who was directly pushed down by Anthony's security was not angry at all.

"I saw him, that's enough."

"Besides, it's not Cameron who pushed me."

Even when there were dissatisfied fans nearby, the teenager was still speaking for Anthony.

However, this scene was originally filmed by a Denver Post reporter.

According to the Denver Post, this time the Denver All-Star, Denver fans are really enthusiastic. In order to see you, they gave up going to the countryside to pick up grandma back to the city for the weekend service. I waited for you for four hours without autographing. Is it so hard to laugh?

According to this report by the Denver Post, the All-Stars might really need to reflect on the enthusiasm and frankness of Denver citizens.

There are more and more All-Star security guards, as if there are scourges everywhere, and the shelves are also getting bigger and bigger, not to mention autographs, even giving a smiley face is extremely stingy.

Anthony, the local star, is like this, not to mention other stars.

"I saw Kobe at the Pepsi Center."

"I wish him good luck out loud, but he didn't react at all."

This is what a 16-year-old Denver teenager fan said in an interview.

According to this report by the Denver Post, the most annoying people except O'Neill and Anthony are Chen Xiao.

You are a small foreign player, a small Chinese, why do you look down on us?

O'Neill, Kobe looks down on us, we recognize them, they are indeed from the big place.

But you wonder boy, why are you?

At the Denver Jazz Club, Chen Xiao was the protagonist of the event, but Chen Xiao was not only late, but also was protected from the fans by security guards all the way after he arrived, because Chen Xiao’s cards were too big. There are too many security guards, and the only Denver fans around who can see Chen Xiao is the hat on his head with a height of 2.03 meters.

Good guy, we have been waiting for you for a few hours here, and if you are late, what if you just walk around like this?

And without showing his face, just show a hat?

The Denver Post reporter at the scene was angry.

What made the Denver Post reporter even more angry was that the Denver fans at the scene didn't even bother.

"Hey, although I only saw the hat, it's better than seeing nothing at all. Moreover, we were in the same room with him, and we also smelled the scent on him. It really smells good!"

"..."

Good guy, the Denver Post reporter at the scene is really mad.

"Why should we Americans be crazy about a foreign Chinese?!"

"And still such a Chinese who ignores Americans?!"

"Wonder kid ignores fans in the United States, he is cold and disdain to interact with fans, and even discriminate against American fans is not once or twice. He is a repeat offender!"

"When will we Americans really stand up, and when will we Denver really stand up!"

"This time we are going to boycott Wonder Boy. We want him to apologize. If he doesn't apologize, we will burn his Nike shoes!"

Boy, the boycott is coming.

Of course, this is not the first time Chen Xiao has been boycotted by American fans.

To be honest, Chen Xiao is indeed very cold in the United States.

Basically, as long as it is not the local fans and Chinese fans of his team, Chen Xiao basically ignores it.

He is different from Xiao Zhan, he is really not interested in these.

He doesn't steal or snatch, and makes money by his ability. Why should he be so fake and so tired?

Chen Xiao’s idea is actually very simple, but many media who like to engage in trouble always feel that he discriminates against Americans.

Therefore, many media asked him to apologize. Of course, Chen Xiao would not apologize.

As for boycotting Nike sneakers or something, you boycott Nike, it's my Chen Xiaomao business?

I, Chen Xiao, took a fixed contract, and there was no sales pressure. You smashed the Nike factory, and I won't make a penny less.

Of course, with so many protests from local American fans, Nike certainly put pressure on him.

But Chen Xiao doesn't matter anyway.

Of course, this headline of the Denver Post also said at the end that although Anthony, O'Neal, Kobe, and Chen Xiao are not people, especially Chen Xiao, there are still good people among NBA stars.

Finally, Xiao Zhan was named.

"In the Rookie Challenge last night, in the face of friendly greetings from young fans, LeBron James was very approachable and even bent down to touch the cute faces of the children."

In short, this year's All-Star Weekend, at the beginning, Chen Xiao has become a target of Denver.

At the moment when Chen Xiao has become a target of public criticism, Denver's local media have also sent negative reports about the All-Star Weekend.

Such as: the business has not been popular, the merchants are disappointed, the All-Star Game has not brought great prosperity to Denver.

The stars are not enthusiastic, and there are only more than 15,000 fans who have poured in. Except for local fans, there is no crowd at all, and local fans have slowly lost their enthusiasm and impulse to consume because the stars are not enthusiastic.

Another example: children don't buy the "Destiny Girl" account, they only need to look at Chen Xiao, but where is Chen Xiao?

Well, where is Chen Xiao?

Of course it was resting in the hotel.

And this is why the NBA stars are not so enthusiastic this All-Star Weekend.

The situation in this year's NBA regular season is very special.

The Magic, Heat, Cavaliers, Nets, Raptors and Bucks bite very, very tightly.

Western O'Neal's Suns are also sprinting with all their strength. O'Neal also hopes to lead the Suns to win the championship this year, but the pressure on the Suns is also very high.

In addition, the team records of stars such as Kobe and Garnett are not very good, so how can they have any intention to play Harbin Beer in the All-Star.

Especially this time, Kobe and O'Neal, who don't care about people in the All-Stars.

They are not cold.

I simply don't want to play this year's All-Star, I don't want to be teammates with each other, and I don't know how to continue playing with each other.

To be honest, after experiencing the Nets' failure, O'Neal even felt that Kobe was okay.

In the past two years, Kobe, who has not been so satisfactory in his performance in the Lakers, has a little bit of self-recognition and a little reflection.

In this case, how can you let the NBA stars become enthusiastic about the fans.

Of course, O'Neal, Kobe, they all have various reasons.

But Chen Xiao and Anthony really have no reason.

Anthony just looks down on Denver.

And Chen Xiao, that really didn't like such things.

Therefore, this time the All-Star Game, everyone also played very half-hearted.

In the All-Star Game, the Eastern All-Stars easily defeated the Western All-Stars 145-125. The authoritative American media "Sports Illustrated" commented on the performance of the All-Stars.

Sports Illustrated scored the stars of this All-Star Weekend according to the system's score. The S-level is the highest. However, no one has even achieved an A+ score in this year's All-Star Game.

The two superstars of the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao and James, are not bad. They still have such a bit of energy. Chen Xiao made 10 of 20 three-pointers in this game. He scored a game-high 34 points and won the All-Star MVP. Get A.

Why is it just an A to get the All-Star MVP? Of course, Chen Xiao didn't even make a breakthrough in this game, not to mention the dunk and layup that he has never liked. It really didn't.

The whole game is near the three-point line. Almost all scores are three-pointers and two-pointers from long range. Let's look at your shooting practice in the All-Star Game?

When Chen Xiao received the MVP trophy from David Stern, there were half applause and half boo.

And James’ performance is B+, 31 minutes, 13 points (6 of 13 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers), 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 fouls. Xiao Zhan is in this All-Star game. The game showed all-round talents-dunks, layups, and breakthroughs throughout the court.

In addition to Chen Xiao, the other Eastern players.

Like Yao Ming got a B+, 22 minutes, 11 points (5 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 free throws), 8 rebounds, 5 assists

Although playing time is not much, but for Chinese audiences who watch live TV in China, Yao Ming's performance still makes them satisfied.

The level of participation is very high. It can be seen from the five assists that he has passed a lot of **** to Chen Xiao. The connection between Chen and Yao always makes Chinese fans extremely excited.

What's more interesting is that Yao Ming performed a back pass in the game. After breaking through, he wanted to pass the back pass to Chen Xiao outside the three-point line, but it was passed to Ye Li in the audience outside the field, not Chen Xiao.

Then Dayao scratched his head in embarrassment, Chen Xiao pouted and pretended to be angry, Ye Li chuckled and laughed constantly from the sidelines, and it was almost bursting in the country.

So much so that Teacher Zhang on the scene shouted with excitement: "Dayao, you really belong there!"

Good guy, Teacher Zhang has also kept pace with the times.

In addition, Carter scored B+, 18 minutes, 11 points (4 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers), 3 rebounds, 1 assist

The main highlight of Carter's B+ in this game is that he learned from his cousin McGrady the stunt of smashing the board and making up the dunk in the air. The dunk that Carter staged was also the best dunk of the game.

And Wade scored B, 23 minutes, 14 points (6 of 13 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws), 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals

If it weren’t for the fourth quarter, he scored 10 points and helped the East troops repel the counterattack of the West troops. Once he had a steal, he directed a quick break dunk and made the audience climax once. He won the first three quarters. It looks like soaking wolfberries in a thermos, and you can give him a D.

In fact, Wade also wants to show off in this game, but it can be seen from the playing time of him and Yao.

In this game, Eastern Coach Spoelstra is selfish and will not let them play more than two.

In the fourth quarter, there is really no way. Chen Xiao shoots and shoots there, Duncan and McGrady are also paddling, but you, Si Bo, are selfish. Are we not allowed to have selfishness?

Finally, is it not good to lose with such a strong Eastern Conference?

Wade was unblocked by Spoelstra.

Therefore, the worst performance of the Eastern All-Stars in this game was Maizi, who lost the starter, and Spoelstra was so eccentric, Maizi didn't plan to play at all.

Therefore, Sports Illustrated gave Maizi a C+, which is barely qualified.

He played 24 minutes, 8 points (4 of 13 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers), 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

Regardless of a lot of steals, most of them are actually picking up from the ground. In this game, his shooting situation was very bad. He threw around like Chen Xiao, but he was too loose and had no shooting percentage, and he basically didn't defend.

The only highlight of this game is that in the fourth quarter, he drove the ball to layup and threw the ball to the backboard. After the ball bounced back, he scored a self-deduction. Well, cousin showed off, cousin. Come here too, this may be the reason McGrady can be qualified.

Duncan is better than Mai, scoring A-, 16 minutes, 16 points (7 of 10 shots, 1 of three-pointers, 1 of free throws and 0 of free throws), 9 rebounds, 2 assists

Nerd is the player with the highest shooting percentage in this game. He performed very well in the first three quarters, but was replaced by Spoelstra after a one-minute walk in the last quarter.

The East coach Spoelstra was selfish in the first half and used his daze. After the second half, I realized, feelings, you are consuming me!

Fighting the west, do we still need to squeeze me in the east?

Although Daida is an honest person, is it really that honest?

Ha ha.

In addition, Nash scored B, 17 minutes, 2 points (1 for 2 shots, 0 for 3 pointers), 6 assists

Nash played the first three quarters. Like Duncan, he became a spectator in the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the game, his passing created dunk opportunities for McGrady, Carter and James.

However, this score makes people wonder whether Lao Na is squeezing money.

In addition, Ray Allen and Iverson are both A-, and the performance of the entire Eastern Conference is second only to Chen Xiao.

As for the western side.

Kobe's rating is A-, 29 minutes, 16 points (7 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers), 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals

In this boring All-Star game, Corvo is definitely one of the most serious and competitive players in the game.

In this fast, Corvo is really not bad at all, although it was very embarrassing to see him and O'Neal together throughout the game.

Embarrassment belongs to embarrassment, but hard work still requires hard work.

At this point, O'Neal almost meant it.

O’Neal’s score is also A-, 25 minutes, 12 points (6 of 11 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 0 of 3 free throws), 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals

Obviously, this score is to collect money, but Sports Sketchpad has always liked Shaq very much.

And seeing him in such an embarrassing situation, being able to be a teammate with Kobe on the court, and even giving Kobe the only assist, it is worthy of an A- evaluation.

In addition, the Western Conference's All-Star starter, Garnett played 16 minutes, B+.

Grant Hill played 18 minutes, 6 points (3 of 6 shots), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, A-.

After a year off, when Grant Hill was able to dunk with both hands on McGrady's head, he made people forget the pain that had tormented him for many years.

Ron Howard scored B+, 17 minutes, 12 points (5 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 free throws), 7 rebounds, 1 assist.

This was Luo Ge's first start. Although he didn't have much playing time in this game, he was still very elegant. The black female celebrities next to him screamed again and again.

Even many white stars and celebrities of color are excited about it.

By the way, this time the worst performance in the Western Conference and the worst performance in the entire All-Star Game is the Spurs All-Star substitute Arenas.

Arenas' rating is C.

15 minutes, 7 points (3 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers), 2 rebounds, 2 assists

In this game, Arenas's first 5 shots were all missed, which was surprisingly iron.

The last 14 minutes were all "cooled" on the bench. He was really up, but the West coach Gentry really didn't want him to be on.

However, on the bright side, this is after all his first appearance in an All-Star game.

Such a sluggish performance may be because he chose too sassy when choosing his sneakers. His sneakers are scary red.

In short, after the end of the All-Star Game, this Denver All-Star Weekend was completely branded as the coldest All-Star Weekend in history.

Even during the All-Star Weekend, the Marriott Hotel where the media center is located, apart from the huge portraits of Chen Xiao, Iverson, and Duncan printed on the hotel’s curtain wall, there is nothing related to the All-Star Game within a radius of 50 meters. symbols of.

Even if one of the pedestrians on the road wears a jersey, it is also a local Nuggets fan.

Finally saw two fans wearing Chen Xiao jerseys wandering in the pedestrian street, they also cherish the same as Zhen Beast.

Anyway, after being in the NBA for three years, Chen Xiao felt that he participated in the most embarrassing All-Star.

However, for Chen Xiao, it doesn't matter if the All-Stars are deserted. He is not the president of the league.

Moreover, for him, this time the All-Star, he has all he wanted to get.

Winner of Saturday's three-pointer contest, received a C-level shooting attribute potential card.

The champion of Saturday's Skills Challenge received a skill card that hides the sense of the ball.

Of course, there is the All-Star Game. In the All-Star Game, Chen Xiao won the MVP plus the scoring champion, 2 skill points for winning the championship, plus the MVP's B-level potential card, and the two scoring experience cards of the scoring champion.

Chen Xiao never let go of these gains.

In short, at the end of the All-Star Weekend, Chen Xiao was very happy.

Compared with the embarrassment on the US side, the country is also quite excited.

Especially in this All-Star Weekend, Chen Xiao has completed the MVP three consecutive NBA All-Star games!

To be fair, in this era, the status of All-Stars in China is still very high.

For domestic fans, the All-Star MVP, Star of the Stars, how big is the name, so the All-Star MVP is no worse than the regular season MVP.

The All-Star MVP, the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP are tied.

Well, so, if you want to say that Chen Xiao is not the first person in the NBA, we will be in a hurry!

The first All-Star MVP in three consecutive years, you said he is not the first person in the NBA?

In active service, in the entire NBA, how many people have four MVPs?

Chen Xiao now has three All-Star MVPs and one Finals MVP. There are already four MVPs in total.

This achievement is already competing with O'Neal, and O'Neal has 5 MVPs.

I just don't know if O'Neill is willing to compete with Chen Xiao.

Guess blindly, it must be unwilling.

Of course, Chen Xiao is not willing to compete with O'Neill.

When Teacher Zhang asked him this question...

"Chen Xiao, have you ever wondered who is the greatest player in the NBA between you and O'Neal?"

"have not thought."

"why?"

"When O'Neal will get the third All-Star MVP, it's time for me to consider competing with him."

Listen to ~www.NovelMTL.com~ What a domineering saying.

O'Neill is not worthy to compete with me!

Does Chen Xiao really mean this?

Well, it's not important. What's important is that domestic audiences think it is, that is.

On February 21, 2005, Chen Xiao returned with a full load and returned to Cleveland with Xiao Zhan.

On the same day, the Grizzlies announced a deal with the Lakers. The Lakers sent Kidd and Battelle to get the Grizzlies Gasol and Jie Williams and Lorenzen White.

At the same time, Kidd announced his divorce from his wife.

Cleveland, Chen Xiao was shocked.

"Boss Kee..."
