I’m Really Playing Basketball

On May 31, 2011, the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the Bobcats and Dallas Mavericks, the finals that many people had not thought of before finally started.

Although Chen Xiao and Jordan and other Bobcats players will not regard the Dallas Mavericks as underdogs.

But the public opinion before the game is indeed very biased towards the Bobcats.

Even Director Zhang's commentary before the game started: "As long as the Bobcats can play their normal level, there will be no suspense in this championship, and Chen Xiao will also be able to win his NBA career. Fifth championship!"

It can only be said that although the Mavericks are strong, the team really does not have any first-line superstars.

Nowitzki, Chandler, Randolph, Devin Harris, Tony Allen, Grant Hill, Terry, etc., these Mavericks players are really not that bright now, even the one from the Bobcats I don't know if it's the second master or a few masters, and Xiao Si can't compare.

Yes, even Stoudemire, he seems to be better than any player on the Mavericks.

Of course, fans and pundits like to look at quality, but player quality or star quality is never the most important thing on the court.

Otherwise, the Seven Star Nets would not have been hacked by Chen Xiao with the Cavaliers.

On the court, the players of the two teams were warming up, and after the exchange, the ten starters also stood on the court.

The Mavericks' starting lineup in this game has not changed much, center Chandler, forward Zach Randolph, Dirk Nowitzki, guard, Tony Allen, Devin Harris.

This is the Mavericks' quasi-starting lineup for this playoffs. If you regard the driver as an insider, then the Mavericks are a three-inner lineup.

Of course, if you regard the driver as an outside line, this is the standard big lineup.

I have to say, the driver's big back, the biggest back in history, if you use it well, it is really bullying.

On the Bobcats side, facing a starting lineup like the Mavericks, which is a bit strange and difficult to deal with, on the Bobcats side, Jordan also spent a lot of brain cells.

In the end, it is a small lineup to catch the conversion of the Mavericks' three insiders.

Instead, go to O'Neal's big man and play positional warfare with the Mavericks.

The Mavericks, a starter that has been unchanged for thousands of years, seems to have many loopholes. For example, the lineup of three insiders seems to be very slow, but because center Tyson Chandler is very fast, in fact, they The defense is not slow.

At the very least, neither the Spurs nor the Lakers used a small lineup to seize the Mavericks' loopholes.

The Lakers even lined up the starting lineup of Big Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Joe Johnson and Billups, but still failed to beat the Mavericks with a quick offensive and defensive transition.

The Mavericks' three inside lineup is very flexible.

When defending, you may even feel that Randolph is the center at the rim, and Chandler is the ubiquitous power forward or small forward.

So, after studying the Mavs-Lakers-Spurs series, Jordan ended up choosing O'Neal's starting big lineup.

If you choose a small lineup, give up the inside line, and still can't start the offense, it will be dead.

Inside, never give up!

The Lakers and Spurs have no choice.

The Bobcats in the case of O'Neal, if they gave up the inside, it would be a big loss.

Therefore, the Bobcats' starting lineup in this game is center, O'Neal, power forward Stoudemire, small forward Granger, shooting guard Chen Xiao, and point guard Rose.

This is the most standard positional warfare routine for the Bobcats.

O'Neal is in the Eastern Conference finals with the Bucks. It can be said that he has recharged his energy for so long, and his physical fitness and hunger are very good now.

Therefore, O'Neal standing in the middle circle is quite a joke, and he is all kinds of funny with Tyson Chandler opposite him.

It's just that Tyson Chandler doesn't bird him, and of course, O'Neal doesn't want Tyson Chandler to bird him.

He is now simply trying to attract attention.

This season, he has been very successful as a player and reporter for the Bobcats. The videos of his Bobcats locker room on YouTube are all explosive.

The two programs that I did in TNT were also highly rated by fans, and the ratings were also very good.

As a player, his transition to media personality has been very successful.

After all, in the history of the NBA, such a person is the first to appear, fresh.

With so many distractions, it is difficult for O'Neal to stay in shape this season as fortunately as last season. This season, his body has visibly gained weight, and his speed and physical fitness are also poor.

However, O'Neal is O'Neal after all. He still has fuel in the fuel tank, so whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, as long as he's under the basket, he can still easily get 60% of his shots. guard against him.

Therefore, the opportunities he creates for Chen Xiao and other Bobcats players at the basket are still very important.

Before the jump ball, O'Neal was very arrogant, making the atmosphere of the fans and the game laugh out loud, but during the jump ball, of course, it was very miserable, Tyson Chandler easily defeated O'Neal, for the Mavericks. Got the first wave of the offensive ball of the game.

Devin Harris dribbled the ball over halftime, and Rose pressed directly at halftime from the start of the game.

From the Bobcats' point of view, the Mavericks' lineup is still a big lineup, and Devin Harris is the only player in the lineup who can handle the ball.

The guards of the Lakers and Spurs either don't have the speed of Devin Harris, or they don't have the speed to compete with Devin Harris, so it's difficult to provide too much pressure on Devin Harris.

The Bobcats are different. The Bobcats have Ross, one of the most powerful point guards in the league. If they don't press Devin Harris and destroy the Mavericks' offensive tactics, it would be a waste of resources.

However, Devin Harris, who was suddenly pressed by Rose, did not intend to fight Rose one-on-one, and the other big players in the Mavericks obviously expected this, so Nowitzki is giving Devin Harris a cover. Afterwards, Devin Harris threw the ball to Dirk Nowitzki and went to the front court empty-handed.

Nowitzki hit the ball to Randolph who had already passed the frontcourt, and he followed through the half, while Randolph received the pass from the driver and quickly gave the ball to Devin Harris.

Devin Harris was very fast. Although Ross was also fast, he was blocked by the driver. Even if he tried his best, he still couldn't catch up with Devin Harris completely, thus preventing him from catching the ball.

From the series of non-stop cooperation between Devin Harris and the Mavericks, not to mention Chen Xiao, everyone can see how compatible and tacit understanding this team is now.

Also, everyone is very familiar with each other and fits well.

Devin Harris, who received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the three-point line, was not fully in place by Ross. After catching the ball, he went directly to the basket and killed it.

Now O'Neal hasn't come back because the defense is not fast enough, and Rose is stuck again. The only three flanks who can help defend are Chen Xiao, Granger and Stoudemire.

Moreover, the three of them are not in front of Devin Harris, so, in a sudden like Harris, of course, the three of them can only shrink their defenses to protect the basket at the same time.

I have to say that Harris is really fast. At the same time, the Bobcats adopt such a pressing defense. If you don't force it down, then you have to bear the consequences of this defensive dislocation.

The benefits are not all yours.

The Bobcats' first defense failed against Devin Harris' press defense.

So after compressing the Bobcats defense, Devin Harris passed Nowitzki from the free throw line, and Nowitzki easily swayed Granger, who flew out to block the ball, and made a mid-range shot.

This season, Nowitzki's mid-range hit rate is as high as 61%.

This is still the efficiency of a lot of one-on-one, or even one-on-two singles.

That's why a lot of defensive players are taken away by him, and that's why he can make nearly 10 free throws per game in the playoffs this year.

Of course, the driver's attack did not use his standard golden rooster independence, a stunt that became popular in this year's playoffs.

"The offense of the Mavericks, so clear..."

It was really easy. This kind of feeling of lifting weights was very temperamental. Instructor Zhang on the sidelines and the Chinese reporters and commentators were a little scared.

And the Bobcats players on the court or Jordan on the sidelines, of course, were already mentally prepared.

The Mavericks are not an underdog. They did not reach the finals by luck. This is the consensus of the Bobcats.

So the Bobcats never felt like they could eat a calf in one go.

This is a 4-1 Lakers and Spurs team!

Therefore, in the offense of the Bobcats, after Ross dribbled the ball over half court, facing the Mavericks who had contracted the zone defense, Ross looked around for a while, and immediately passed the basketball in his hand to the top three-point line, which stuck Tony there. Allen's Chen Xiao.

In the face of a spider-like entanglement like Tony Allen, Chen Xiao did not break the ball easily. Tony Allen is also Chen Xiao's old opponent. His hands are very long, he is fast, accurate, and defensive. At times, he is very good at adding fouls, and the referee usually does not blow, and he has a very good grasp of the scale.

So after Chen Xiao received the ball, he waited for Stoudemire to come over.

When Xiao Si came over, Chen Xiao turned around to break through, and used Xiao Si's cover to slightly shake off Tony Allen. Of course, just a little bit, Tony Allen's ability to circumvent cover is also very strong.

In history, his hand can make Xiao Du in the mvp season very painful. Xiao Du averages nearly 14 iron shots per game under the defense of Mr. Tony. When have you seen such iron Xiao Du?

Therefore, after getting rid of Allen a little, Chen Xiao was in front of Chandler who came out to help defend, and behind was Allen who was immediately entangled. Both of them had long and fast hands. Chen Xiao could see that Mavericks. Putting their two strongest defenders in front of him like this must not only stop him from scoring, but also block his passing.

Just like when he played against the Lakers, the Boss Ke was entangled by these two people. Not only did he not play well in offense, he averaged only 23 points per game, and his three-point shooting rate was even less than 30%. At the same time, his assists were only less than 2.5 times.

In the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the most common picture of the boss is that, being caught by Tony Allen and Chandler, he can only jump up and throw the ball behind him. The team's offense is of course a failure.

However, Chen Xiao and Ke Boss are of course different. Ke Boss can't pass the ball from the front or the side because of his short hands, but Chen Xiao, he has a long arm of 2.21 meters. Although Allen and Chandler are blocked It was indeed very powerful, but when the two attacked, Chen Xiao jumped up and passed the ball in his hand to Stoudemire, who was ready to pick and roll on the left.

When the Bobcats players faced the situation of being pinched by Chen Xiao, there was no one to support Chen Xiao. The Bobcats couldn't be assured of Chen Xiao's ability to play the ball.

The Boss Ke in front of the TV watched Chen Xiao, who had the same problem as himself, on the TV. He actually solved the problem that he couldn't solve even with all his life. The Boss Ke looked in a trance.

If he could have a pair of long arms like Chen Xiao...

Boss Ke gritted his teeth, this is talent!

His skills can be better than Chen Xiao and Jordan through hard work, but there is nothing he can do about this talent.

For the Mavericks' defense, Chen Xiao can pick up the ball like this while attracting Chandler and Allen, then the offense is simple.

The Mavericks' defense line has been completely contracted, as long as Stoudemire is not stupid enough to kill at the basket, he can handle this attack any way.

In the end, Stoudemire made a mid-range pull-up jumper and made a steady hit.

2 to 2!

Stoudemire doesn't have the driver's approval for this year's playoffs, but he can still seize most of the opportunities.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao attracted too many defenses.

Of course, in the face of the Bobcats' attack, the Mavericks are of course prepared.

Naturally, they would not feel that the defensive method that was effective against Kobe would also be effective for Chen Xiao.

Although both of them are historical super giants, both of them are the top five players in NBA hard power history.

But the top five are also different from the top five. Chen Xiao is the number one existence in the history of hard power competition.

It can only be said that the Mavericks' defense found that Chen Xiao's strength is indeed worthy of the name.

A player who cannot be defended by any means is a player like Chen Xiao.

So far, in the entire history of the NBA, there have been no more than three.

So, looking back, the Dallas Mavericks played steadily and hit the ball into the hands of Randolph at the basket, Randolph seemed to be hitting Stoudemire, but after noticing the direction of O'Neal's movement, Randolph sat slightly After a moment, the basketball in his hand was handed over to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki faced Granger's defense, outside the paint with a step in the free throw line, turned around, fell back, and the rooster was independent!

Granger's long arms can't even jump!

A swipe!

Another snap!

Scored two points and added a penalty.

Granger, like the previous Lakers Artest, Spurs captain Jackson Prince and others, was powerless in the face of a singles like Nowitzki.

5 to 2!

Then, it was the Bobcats' turn to attack. This time, the Mavericks were afraid of Chen Xiao's ability to shoot the ball. After Chen Xiao picked and rolled with Stoudemire, Tony Allen did not catch up, but switched to Stoudemire.

The defensive player Chen Xiao faced was his former teammate, Chandler.

Facing Chen Xiao, Chandler was afraid of being shot when he came up, and he was afraid of being shot when he retreated, so Chandler chose his idol Garnett to fight and retreat.

As the Eight King Kong of the Wolf King Cult, he now believes that he has mastered the spirit of the Wolf King Chandler, and he has a good grasp of fighting and retreating.

Although Chen Xiao had room to make a move, it was not big, and Chandler felt that he could seal it.

Logically speaking, based on his selfless understanding of Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao should not be so independent at such an opportunity, and choose to attack at this time.

only…

Chandler just had such an idea. After Chen Xiao burst, he immediately took a step back and pulled his body beyond the three-point line, pulling him up high!

"This technology is so beautiful!"

A swipe!

"These three points are even more beautiful!"

"Too firm!"

After the driver just hit Granger with a 2+1 magic ball, Chen Xiao immediately returned a magic ball!

5 to 5!

After Chen Xiao hit this three-pointer, the scene was full of exclamations.

In fact, the audience watching this game at this time, whether they are ordinary fans or those professionals like Ke Boss, are now exclaiming.

Because the match between the gods and the gods is really shocking.

Seriously, before this game started, most of the audience still felt that the Bobcats should be stronger, and much stronger, and should be able to easily suppress the Mavericks.

Unexpectedly, it was Mavericks who took the lead.

What was even more unexpected was that Chen Xiao, who had been a salted fish for a season, was forced to turn over so quickly by Mavericks.

However, Kobe is understandable. The way the driver played Granger was very demoralizing. Why did the Lakers finally collapse?

It was because the driver bullied his teammates so much that he was covered by Chandler and Allen and did not come back.

At this time, Chen Xiao needs to give a tough response.

"Many people think the Mavericks are weak, but their play style on the court is really, really strong. As long as you can't keep up with their strength, they will be imposing, how can they shoot three-pointers, how can the role players be? Playing like a superstar."

It can only be said that Chen Xiao's ability to read the game is indeed strong, and he has a very good grasp of when he should play hard.

Similarly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com his hard power is really strong!

He also experienced Chandler's long-armed blocking. There may only be two or three players in the entire league who can draw as much as Chen Xiao, and the remaining two may be Durant or Maizi?

The first quarter of the Bobcats and the Mavericks G1 played very well, beyond imagination.

Most of the audience did not expect that in the face of such a powerful Bobcats, the Dallas Mavericks were on the road, and after the first quarter, they were only 1 point behind 32-33.

After all, the combat effectiveness shown by the Bobcats players in this game can be said to have never been seen in the entire playoffs. This time the Bobcats traveled to the playoffs, when did you see Chen Xiao so fierce when he came up in the first quarter? Do 18 points?

"But even Chen Xiao like this can only give the Bobcats a 1-point lead at home!"

"If it's us in the finals, can we really beat the Mavericks?"

Xiao Du and Xiaoku on the sidelines looked at each other, their eyes full of daze and uncertainty.
