I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 323: Growth, sacrifice and S-level rewards!

On May 7, 2005, in the tiebreaker between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, the Cavaliers swept the Pistons 108-88 at home and successfully advanced to the second round with a big score of 4 to 3.

At Gund Arena, at the end of the game, the Cavaliers fans on the scene gave applause to the Cavaliers who were promoted, and also gave the applause to the Pistons in this series and the Cavaliers to 7 games.

Although they told Chen Xiao at the end of the game, Chen Xiao played them, but to be honest, the Pistons played really well in this series.

Hamilton, Billups and Prince are all averaging 20 points per game.

Ben Wallace averaged 12.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, which is also the level of a top center.

It can be said that the Pistons players in this series have gone all out.

At the same time, this round of the series also put tremendous pressure on the Cavaliers players, and of course it also created great exercise value.

Just say the last game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons. This round of the series was focused on Gerald Wallace. He scored 4 of 6 and 2 of 3 three-pointers. The game scored 13 points. In addition to 5 steals and 2 blocks, he was suppressed by Prince for the entire series. In the end this game suppressed Prince with the cooperation and help of the whole team.

The same is true for Barnes. Hamilton slid for the entire series, but in the last game, although he still scored 24 points on 9-for-15, Barnes' fight also caused Hamilton to make 7 turnovers.

As far as Hamilton's offense is concerned, even if Chen Xiao and Kobe are defending, he can easily score 20 points, so don't think that Hamilton's score of 20 points is a defensive failure.

Hamilton, like Ginobili, seems to be very low-key and not well-known, but they are all players who can't defend.

These two people are too good, unless they are the kind of old fairies who are better than them, don't care about Chen Xiao, Kobe, Jordan or other people, it is useless.

Therefore, in this series, the Cavaliers want Barnes, the Cavaliers’ little Pippen and the NCAA’s former little Pippen, to study and study in front of Hamilton, but the final result is very satisfying.

His performance exceeded expectations a lot.

In history, the Pistons this season is the team that broke through the Eastern Conference and finally reached the Finals.

Now, the Pistons were eliminated by the Cavaliers in the first round.

There is a big contrast between this reality and history.

However, when Chen Xiao entered the league in 2002 and the Nets won the championship in 2003, the entire NBA history was destined to undergo tremendous changes.

Although the NBA has lost a legend of civilian champions, it has added a legend of the strongest rookie in history.

And this legend is not a flash in the pan, but continues to bloom.

After the Cavaliers and the Pistons G7 game, the Pistons player Daben said when asked about Chen Xiao's defense in this round of the series. Chen Xiao is playing with him in this round of the series, although this round In the series, he defended Chen Xiao's shooting rate to only 40%, but Daben said that this is not true, it is all an illusion.

However, on the other side, when Chen Xiao was asked what he thought of Big Ben's words, Chen Xiao's answer made all the reporters on the scene messy.

"This series is real. Big Ben's defense is very good. I didn't play well in this series."

In this round of the series, Chen Xiao averaged 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2.6 blocks and a 40% shooting rate. This data is very good for a center, but the shooting rate is low.

Obviously, Chen Xiao's height is indeed a huge disadvantage in the center position. Of course, Chen Xiao's offensive efficiency in this round of the series has nothing to do with his height. It is purely because of his excellent defense and Chen Xiao's. The mentality is a little bit problematic.

"Chen, we have noticed that you have been a center in the NBA for two months. Will you appear more in this position as a center in the future?"

Regarding this question, Chen Xiao froze for a while and shook his head seriously: "I don't know."

"I don't know if I will appear more in the center position in the future. It depends on the needs of the team. This is not something I can decide by myself. If the team needs me to play as a center to win, I will Playing center, even if I know that I’m playing center in the NBA maybe only in the top ten or the top fifteen level, but if the team needs a top ten or top fifteen center to win the championship, I will play."

Looking at the silent hall at this moment and Xiao Zhan who was also silent next to him, Chen Xiao continued talking.

"I know that many people who care about me worry about me. I am the NBA's top five guards and top five forwards. I am the strongest in the position of shooting guard. When I play shooting guard, maybe I can The competition is the best. When I play power forward, I can also compete for one of the best, but when I play center, I will never be the best one, or even the best top five, so many experts The celebrities say that when I am dizzy, I will be frantically looking for risk, abuse, and death in the center position. I think they are right. However, I think that as an NBA player, it is not only personal success or failure , I am not afraid of being abused on the court, and I am not afraid of being someone’s background board on the court. I hope that my team can win and win the championship. This is the most important thing."

At this promotion press conference, Chen Xiao said a lot.

In fact, in previous Cavaliers’ post-match press conferences, Xiao Zhan was the ‘official spokesperson’ of the Cavaliers.

But this time, it's different.

Because the first round of the NBA is over, the major awards of the NBA regular season will be awarded. During this time, Chen Xiao has been thinking about such things.

Chen Xiao still doesn't know how to solve this problem, but Chen Xiao feels that as long as his original intention remains the same, everything will be solved.

He hopes that his heart can be seen by everyone.

Getting this basketball system was the luck of his life. He had never thought of becoming a basketball player before, but now that he has become a basketball player, since he has fallen in love with basketball, he can’t really be his own.

Just like the words he said to Jordan when he retired in Jordan moved the world.

We must learn to be grateful for basketball and not do anything to hurt basketball with our own selfishness.

Basketball is so, what about the real people?

Although Chen Xiao delivered that speech when Jordan retired during his rookie season, but now, after struggling with him, Xiao Zhan and the MVP, he has truly realized the true meaning of sacrifice.

To be honest, for Chen Xiao’s ridicule of playing center in recent months, not only NBA celebrities and experts, dare to ask the reporters present, except for Chinese reporters and local reporters, as well as New Jersey or Milwaukee reporters, who did not ridicule. .

However, seeing the extremely serious expression on Chen Xiao's face at this time, and recalling what Chen Xiao said before, at this time, the reporters present here, whether they are Chinese or American reporters, couldn't laugh for a while.

Chen Xiao's big talking eyes are telling the truth.

"Little Chen..."

Very shocked, Chen Xiao has now caused a very big shock to James.

This shock is no less than the foundation of "justice must win" that Chen Xiao laid for him last season.

Last season, he followed in the footsteps of Chen Xiao and learned justice.

And now, what Chen Xiao said just now was not only an ambition for Chen Xiao, but also a tower for him to lead James forward.

For a time, the scene of the Cavaliers' press conference after the game was a bit silent.

And at this moment, Chen Xiao, who was sitting on the stage, suddenly froze for a moment, because...

"Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the eight virtues of the player's "sacrifice", congratulations to the host for taking a step forward in the path of qualified players cultivated by the system. For this, the system will reward the host with a gift to encourage. Please pay attention to check it.

"..."

Chen Xiao was a little dumbfounded.

However, after this prompt, Chen Xiao found that his personal panel had an extra column under the basketball skill bar and above the inventory bar.

Medal: Sacrifice Medal (automatically worn)

Item: Sacrifice Medal

Grade: S grade

Item introduction: Dear player, do you have such a consciousness, do you dare to sacrifice when you need to pay the price to win the global team?

Perhaps it is sacrificing data, or sacrificing honor, or sacrificing body.

Do you have such courage and courage?

Congratulations, now you have it.

Item description: It can increase any attribute (including hidden attributes) by five points. It can only increase a single attribute. The selection can not be changed, and the maximum cannot exceed 100. When the attribute is upgraded to 100 with this medal, the attribute will be permanently locked and will not drop. Please be cautious choose.

Chen Xiao looked at this sacrifice medal with his mouth wide open, a little dumbfounded.

This is really dumbfounded.

Even after the press conference after the game ended, Chen Xiao was still surprised.

Chen Xiao has always known that his system is a three-pointed system.

At the beginning, he cheated in the NCAA and got his wingspan back. To be honest, at that time Chen Xiao kept complaining in his heart. If this is a basketball, this plot must be super persuasive.

Why is there a system that can't do crooked ways?

What's more, if you steal by your ability, grab by your ability, and don't hurt others, why can't it work?

Later, Chen Xiao understood.

You have a system, and you are still doing so. What use does the system want you to?

The system binds you because you are better than others?

Chen Xiao felt that he was not chosen because of a ‘smart’ heart.

All living beings, billions of people, why does the system choose him instead of others?

Chen Xiao has been thinking about this question, and after thinking about it, Chen Xiao felt that, like Xiaotai and Dayao said, he has a ‘exquisite heart’.

The system selects him, not for him to hurt the basketball, but for him to protect the basketball.

It's not for him to wear 13 with basketball.

It was him who changed the entire basketball world.

Therefore, since then, he has been playing basketball seriously, regardless of whether the system selects him or not, Chen Xiao feels that he can't live up to this responsibility.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Now, when Chen Xiao saw this reward, Chen Xiao felt that perhaps his previous guess was not wrong.

The system really hopes that he can protect basketball, change the atmosphere of the basketball world, and promote positive energy after getting the system.

The system he got was really a three-view super positive system.

"Xiao Chen, at the press conference after the game just now, you said so great, it reminds me of your'Thanksgiving Basketball' speech. Your speech gave me a new understanding of basketball. , I have a new understanding of life, and now, it is the same."

Xiao Zhan looked at Chen Xiao's eyes full of respect.

To say that Chen Xiao is the mentor of his basketball career is not a problem at all.

Whether he is with Chen Xiao or not, he has learned too many things that change his three views and values.

Seeing the look in James' eyes, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe, I really did a good job.

Although my system scores are far from changing the basketball world, at least, I have changed Xiao Zhan.

Guard basketball, change the world of basketball, and become a qualified player trained by the system.

There is a long way to go.

On the same day that the Cavaliers eliminated the Pistons by a score of 4 to 3, another Eastern Conference first-round tiebreaker ended.

The sixth in the East, the Bucks, in extremely difficult circumstances, reversed the Toronto Raptors led by Nash, the third in the East, with a big score of 4 to 3.

If this year's NBA playoffs, the group that played the most heart-warming in the first round, it must belong to the Raptors and Bucks group.

At the beginning of this round of the series, the Raptors, the third in the Eastern Conference, took advantage of their home court and won two games in a row, directly scoring the big score 2-0.

As the four crazy teams in the Eastern Conference this season, the Raptors and Bucks game, any results are acceptable.

However, most people are still normal because the results of the first two games should be 1-1.

But in the end, in the offensive comparison, the Bucks lost all in the first two games.

This is shocking, so after the Raptors were 2-0, many NBA experts said that there was no suspense in this round of the series, and the Raptors solved the problem within six games.

The same four madness. Nash’s Raptors run fast and attack fast, while the Bucks are fast three-pointers and shoot fast shots. In fact, the offensive speed is due to power center Joel Pulzbila. , The offensive speed of the Bucks is actually not that fast.

In the end, the Raptors used their running and bombing to destroy the Bucks in these two games.

But when the whole world thought that the Raptors were about to advance, the world line changed dramatically.

In the G3 game between the Raptors and the Bucks, the Bucks head coach Terry Porter removed the power center Joel Pulzbilla from the starting lineup and replaced it with an all-around inside line of only 2.01 meters. Braxon serves as the team's center.

Braxon, Joe Smith, Iguodala, Michael Reid, Ray Allen.

This very small, very small lineup appeared in this round of the series between the Raptors and Bucks.

Later, this lineup of the Bucks was called the ‘Death Five’ by the NBA’s expert media!

By the way, there is a difference between five minors and five forwards.

The five forwards of the Nets and Cavaliers are a lineup of five all-round players who can play forward swingers. The positions are not clear and they can be replaced with each other. When necessary, James, a point guard, can also go to center. s position.

But the five minors are different. Although the five players are also small players, the position is clear. Braxon is a center, that is the center, Joe Smith is a power forward and that is also a power forward, and the positions of other players are also traditional positions. Bit.

However, because the height of the lineup has come down, it is called the five minors.

As soon as the five Bucks came out, this round of the series changed.

Because after replacing big center Joel Pulzbila with Braxon, the Bucks' offensive speed can not only keep up with the Raptors, but also faster than the Raptors!

This makes the Bucks not only fast three-pointers, but also fast and fast. This is terrible.

And what is more terrifying?

Even more frightening is that in this round of the series, Milicic, the center of the Raptors, could not punish the Bucks' small center, Blaxson!

This is fatal.

Milicic, who is now less than 20 years old, is averaging 17 points per game this season, but most of his offense is face-to-face offense, and basically there is no offensive ability that is too strong to back-frame.

Braxon used his defensive skills and speed to be flexible when defensive, and Milicic's offense was almost a half.

At the same time, the Raptors' starting power forward Marshall, who was traded to the Raptors by the Cavaliers, this very unstable factor broke out again in this round of the series.

In the face of the Bucks' very aggressive defense of the Death Five, Marshall was circumvented.

Originally Milicic and Marshall were the Raptors' most reliant offensive players besides Nash, but now the two fast break main players suddenly misfired.

Nash's offensive pressure has become extremely huge. Nash's scoring average in the first two games was only 18 points, but in the next five games, Nash's scoring average soared to 30 points!

However, this is not the only difficulty for the Raptors. The biggest difficulty for the Raptors is that the Bucks' five small is not a period, but 48 minutes.

Desmond, who was signed by the Raptors in free market last summer, can replace Joe Smith or Braxon, and second-rounder Ariza can replace Iguodala, Mike James and Marquette University with excellent three-pointers. Travisdina, one of the two claws of the Three Eagles, can replace Reid and Ray Allen respectively.

Because these players and the replaced players have similar styles, the continuity of the Bucks' style of play is excellent.

So that when the Bucks sacrificed five hours, the entire Raptors were beaten up.

In addition to Nash, it is not only Milicic and Marshall who lost the two players, this season's Raptors rookie Josh Smith also lost in front of the same rookie Iguodala.

In the end, the Raptors' starting offense actually relied on Nash and Lagabell.

The two did very well. In Game 6, Nash made 20 of 28 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and set a career high of 48 points in the playoffs, barely bringing 2 to the game. The Raptors, which were 3 behind, pulled back a game and played 3 to 3.

However, although Nash can attack, but this kind of attack is not his style, he can not play like this in every game.

In the end, in G7, although Nash worked hard. He made 14 of 24 shots and scored 39 points, but this score was still a bit short. In the end, the Raptors lost the game 99 to 109, and Nash and the Raptors also scored 3 to 4. The big score was eliminated by Ray Allen and the Bucks.

The Bucks and Raptors have introduced a lot in this round of the series. The reason for this is that in addition to playing brilliantly, the promoted Bucks have unlocked the "Death Five" and are also the full time dead five Bucks. The team is the opponent of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In addition, the other two teams played against each other in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

In the first and eighth battle between the Heat and the Pacers, the Heat advanced 4-2.

This big score is also quite surprising, because Reggie Miller performed very well in this series.

In the previous two years, Reggie Miller led the team to black six consecutively, and many people said that he was no longer good.

But in this round of the series, Reggie Miller averaged 15.6 points per game. Although he is no longer at the peak of his courage, he is still okay.

In addition, the Pacers have O. O., Stephen Jackson, Artest and other players who can match up with the Heat. In fact, the Heat beat the Pacers to waste a lot of energy.

The reason why the Heat were able to advance in six games in this round of the series is thanks to Yao Ming's average of 22 points per game with a 65.5% field goal percentage, which almost broke the Oscar who was facing him. This series of Oscars averaged At 15.7, the hit rate is only 35%, which is miserable.

However, Yao Ming's height and defense are indeed one of O's most difficult opponents to deal with. In this round of series against Yao Ming under the basket, he averaged 8.5 shots per game, 3 times, less than 40%, which is a hit at the basket. Rate!

In the other group of games, the defending champion Magic and the Nets, the Magic won relatively easily. Although the score was 4 to 2, everyone has seen it, and the ultimate form of Magic has not yet come out.

What is the ultimate form of magic?

Of course it was when Duncan was desperate, but this round of the series, as soon as McGrady was desperate, the Magic won.

The Nets' five-front lineup is very strong, but in the final analysis, there is still one less coach who can use it.

Overall, the first round of the playoffs in the East is still very intense.

At least six games were played.

On the west side, there is another style of painting.

In the first round of the most watched game, the Suns played the Lakers and O'Neal played Kobe. Both O'Neal and Kobe are crazy in this series.

The Lakers have no players who can defend O'Neal.

No one in the Suns can defend Kobe.

In the end, Bryant averaged 36 points per game with a 45.5 percent shooting rate in this round of the series.

On the other hand, O'Neal is averaging 60% of his field goal percentages and averaging 31 points per game.

In the end, the Suns eliminated the Lakers by a 4-1 score.

Kobe is very angry this round of the series, but Kobe's anger destroyed the tacit understanding between him and Gasol in the second half of the regular season.

O'Neal was also very angry in this round of the series, but his anger did not destroy the Sun's tactical system. What the Sun needs is O'Neal's anger.

And that's why the sun can win in the end.

In addition, the other three matchups in the Western Conference were a bit lackluster. The fourth Mavericks in the Western Conference easily defeated the infighting Kings 4-1.

The third Timberwolves in the West easily defeated the Nuggets led by Anthony 4-1.

Anthony has stagnated this season due to the dream of the Sixth team, and his strength is still very strong, but he has not broken through to the superstar and is still an ordinary All-Star.

The game between the second Spurs in the West and the Trail Blazers in the seventh in the West ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Ron Howard and Arenas and Howard Scola led the Spurs to be the only one in the first round of the playoffs. Swept the promoted team.

In short, compared with the cruelty on the eastern side, the western side is indeed very relaxed.

And this is why O'Neal believes he can be crowned king again this season.

Regarding the situation of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, any Eastern Conference team will be exhausted if they reach the Finals.

But he, Stoudemire and Rashid Wallace's three inside lanes can fly to the face!

"Look at how you run!"

In the regular season of this season, he was really driven crazy by the Eastern Conference Four!

Look, I'm crazy to the end, the winner is still me!
