I’m Really Playing Basketball

On February 15, 2019, when Chen Xiao walked into the "God-Basketball Center" in Charlotte, the entire arena was boiling.

The 2019 All-Star Weekend was held in Charlotte, and Charlotte is undoubtedly one of Chen Xiao's strongholds. After all, Chen Xiao left a dynasty and four championships here.

After all, here, Chen Xiao relied on his own efforts to build Charlotte into a great team.

Let’s just put it this way, Barkley said that Chen Xiao was the Genghis Khan of basketball, and that Chen Xiao’s mobile dynasty was like the Mongolian Empire that swept the world back then.

The Mongol Empire was huge, and there were kingdoms ruled by the Mongol Empire everywhere in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

But obviously, for the Mongol Empire, there are still the most important kingdoms.

And Charlotte, almost equivalent to the status of the Yuan Dynasty part of the Mongol Empire.

No matter how great Chen Xiao's future achievements are, his first dynasty started from here.

Of course, this statement is only endorsed by Charlotte fans.

For Nets fans, they feel that the Nets are the Yuan Dynasty part of the Mongolian Empire. The birthplace of the Mongolian Empire is here. The Nets are the birthplace of Chen Xiao, the basketball player of Genghis Khan. Chen Xiao started his own life with the Nets. legendary.

No matter how great Chen Xiao has achieved in Charlotte, the Cavaliers or the Warriors, these three teams are just three ordinary khanates that Chen Xiao defeated.

The status is also the Chahar Khanate, the Kipchak Khanate, the Okuotai Khanate, and the Yinli Khanate.

In short, with Chen Xiao's continuous achievements in the NBA, which team is most important to him has become a hot topic for NBA fans and experts to discuss.

And Chen Xiao, never answered this question.

Although Chen Xiao said that the most important championship to him was the one he won with the Nets.

But the most important champions do not represent the most important teams.

Nets fans feel that the most important championship represents the most important team.

But fans of the other three teams disagree.

Just like where the hometown of celebrities in China will be beaten out of the dog's brain.

In the NBA, the same is true of Chen Xiao's "hometown".

However, for Chen Xiao, the division of his own fans will not have any effect on him.

You are welcome wherever you go.

This time, Chen Xiao came here to watch this year's Rookie Challenge, the World United team playing the US team.

Of course, Chen Xiao supports the World League. He is a member of the NBA's international team. At the same time, Gao Bo, Doncic, Alexander and other players who have a close relationship with him are all members of the World League.

It's really interesting to say that the first-year rookies in this year's draft are all from the World United team.

Doncic, Gobb and Ayton are all from the International League.

Coupled with the repeater Ben Simmons, this year's international team is still quite strong.

Of course, the U.S. team is also not weak. Tatum, Ball, Kuzma, Mitchell, the second-year strong players, plus the first-year players Trae Young and Bagley, etc. Players, the US team is also quite strong.

Therefore, this year's Rookie Challenge is considered to be the most intense in recent years.

Team USA is stronger.

But International has Doncic and Gobb.

These two wowing dragons and phoenixes from Chen Xiao's basketball school back then, and their performances in the NBA this year are also quite similar.

The third overall pick, Doncic, averaged 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the Dallas Mavericks this year. As a rookie, and only a 19-year-old rookie, playing such data is absolutely terrifying.

As for Gao Bo, under the key training of the Heat team, Gao Bo is also not too much.

Beside Ross, Gao Bo is also very mature, averaging 18 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks per game. More importantly, Gao Bo's shooting percentage is much higher than Doncic. Yes, Gobb is shooting 55% from the field, 38% from 3-point range, and 88% from the free throw line.

Although Gao Bo is not that strong yet, he seems to be strong in all directions without dead ends.

Gao Bo's body side data in the draft training camp is 2.16 meters in height (2.18.5 meters in height with shoes) and 110 kg in weight, 2.30 meters in wingspan, 65 in place bounce, 82 in run-up bounce, and sprint for three-quarter games. It is 3.42 seconds.

These data sheets are taken out, except for the height and wingspan, the others are not so good.

Even for Zhou Qi, who was at the same time as him, the two are about the same height, about the same bounce, about the same speed, and about the same wingspan.

The run-up bounce ranks eighth from the bottom of this rookie, and the three-quarter sprint is also the eighth from the bottom.

Seems like dynamic talent sucks.

If we use the familiar Chinese players as a reference, Gao Bo's run-up jump is 1 cm higher than Zhou Qi, 14 cm higher than Yao Ming, and of course not as good as the 90 cm of the United Arab League.

The sprint data of Gao Bo's three-quarter games was 0.4 seconds faster than Zhou Qi and 0.8 seconds happier than Sun Yue.

So, don't look at Gao Bo's dynamic data are countdown, but, in fact, in the center, it is already first-class.

After all, Barkley has said that his athletic ability attribute is 6, and this perimeter Doncic is only 7.

In fact, Zhou Qi's athletic ability is also first-class in his height, and his height and wingspan are even more top-notch. The reason why Zhou Qi's future is not as bright and promising as Gao Bo is actually not physical talent, but ball quotient, personality and ability to hang meat.

Gao Bo has proved that the meat that Zhou Qi can't hang in two seasons, he will hang up now.

This time, when Chen Xiao saw Gao Bo, he could clearly feel the change in his body shape. He had gained weight, and this season Pat Railey invited Olajuwon and Kareem Kareem again just like he trained Yao Ming back then. Going out to train Gao Bo.

Obviously, Gao Bo's current rhythm is the same as Yao Ming's in the past. Gaining weight returns to gaining weight, and confrontation returns to confrontation, but he is definitely not blind, but slowly adapts, so so far this season, he has been full attendance, and his state is consistent with that. The performance is also good.

Fans all over the NBA have seen Gaobo's superb game intelligence and technical ability this season. They can only say that Barkley is really sincere.

Gao Bo has played so far this season, and it is really a very strong upper limit visible to the naked eye.

Shooting, passing, defending, protecting the rim, and even one-on-one dribbling, he really has it all.

Let's not talk about being proficient or not, but he really has everything, it's just another Yao Ming who is also a smaller one and an accelerated version.

Therefore, many reporters and media have said that the Heat's hurricane advance in the East this season has made Pat Lilly laugh from ear to ear.

After all, he won the bet on Gao Bo, this guy does seem to be the rookie with the greatest potential this year, and even the most powerful rookie at the moment.

So, don't look at this year's Rookie Challenge, the US team has more sophomores and is stronger overall, but everyone is still more optimistic about the first grade.

Doncic and Gaobo, two former teammates who had a tacit understanding, were really strong.

If the two cooperate in the Rookie Challenge, they will be synonymous with invincibility.

In fact, the rookie challenge this time was really intense, and the final result was that the international team defeated the US team 164 to 161.

Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma of the US team started 22 minutes, made 15 of 27 shots, and scored a game-high 35 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Unfortunately, his team lost, so he missed the MVP .

I have to say that Kuzma is really strong in this kind of game without defense. Kuzma's offense is so comprehensive, not to mention proficient, he has everything, but he can't fight.

Kuzma really has the meaning of the current Zhou Qi. The offense is okay, but this confrontation is really not good. Of course, Zhou Qi's height and wingspan makes him very strong in frame protection and defense. More than once, he has been stabbed by ten thousand people. .

In addition to Kuzma, Gao Bo played 20 minutes today, made 14 of 18 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Goldberg was the International's top scorer tonight.

In the end, Gao Bo also won the final MVP trophy.

I have to say that the young players like Gao Bo were really lucky when they entered the league.

When Chen Xiao and Yao Ming entered the league, they were fighting the country. Barkley mocked Yao Ming at the time. The NBA environment didn't favor yellow players at all.

However, after the efforts of Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, and the UAE and other seniors, Chinese players in the NBA now have a completely different international reputation.

Let's just put it this way, Gobert is so thorny, he doesn't look down on American players, and he doesn't look down on Mitchell, the new perimeter king in the team, but he has special respect for Yi Jianlian.

In this Rookie Challenge, the talented players from the international team from all countries and colors took the initiative to surround Gao Bo and help Gao Bo.

And American experts like Barkley, who used to be dismissive of Chinese players, have also become the main force in touting Gao Bo this season.

Of course, Gao Bo can win the MVP, although there are dividends of the times, but more must be his strength.

Otherwise, Gao Bo was selected as a rookie in the Eastern Conference All-Star starter, and he must have been sprayed into pieces long ago.

When Yao Ming's rookie started, he was sprayed to death. During the All-Star Weekend interview, Yao Ming was about to be broken.

On February 16, the second day of the NBA All-Star Weekend, the NBA's individual competitions will be played.

In the skill challenge that started first, eight players were matched in pairs to determine a qualifying spot.

Jokic defeated his big brother Milicic in the first group, Tatum defeated Conley in the second group, Trae Young defeated Fox in the third group, and Doncic defeated Kuzma in the fourth group.

In the semifinals, Doncic lost to Trae Young, and Jokic was inferior to Tatum.

In the finals, Trae Young took the lead and Tatum fell behind a lot, but in the last three-pointer, Trae Young was going to shoot from the three-point line, and Tatum shot before the center line. This is a log-shot of fate. It was a hit. Dongcic didn't do it twice before. He did it. He successfully stunned Trey Yanggao and won the skill king.

It can only be said that after the skill challenge was changed to such a game mode where two people played at the same time and competed for speed, it was indeed exciting.

Depends on whether you want stability or bet your life.

Trae Young, who is more powerful with three points, chose to seek stability.

And Tatum and Doncic, who are not so powerful in three-pointers, like to gamble their lives.

After all, you can't win if you don't gamble.

But having said that, not everyone dares to gamble their lives without the midline. It can also be seen from this that the two young players, Doncic and Tatum, are both gambling, and they are very gambling. .

Players with such a big gamble are very easy to be heroes, and of course they are also easy to be undercover.

This year's All-Star Saturday single event is very exciting.

The skill challenge is exciting.

And the next three-pointer contest is even more powerful. Devin Booker with 23 points, Danny Green with 23 points, and Curry with 24 points did not make it to the final!

Of the nine players in the game, six threw 23 or more points.

The final was played by Joe Harris with 25 points, Buddy Hield with 26 points and Stephen Curry with 27 points.

In the final, the three again cast more than 20 points. In the end, Joe Harris defeated Curry's 24 points with 26 points to win the championship and was crowned the three-pointer.

This three-point contest can be described as a fairy fight.

Of course, there was also an old trash fish in this group of gods. Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki's farewell performance, and the preliminaries threw two three non-sticks.

After throwing three non-sticks, Chen Xiao and the superstars next to him burst into laughter, and the driver himself laughed. There was no embarrassment, he was just playing and having fun.

In the slam dunk contest that followed, Diallo, who was selected by the Warriors in 2018 and sent to the Pistons to trade Robinson, was born in this dunk contest and made history, becoming the rookie slam dunk king.

I have to say that this yellow man, Little White, can really jump.

On February 17th, compared to the previous rookie challenge and individual events, the All-Star game was not so good-looking, mainly because the eastern side was indeed stronger, while the western side was not only not strong enough, but also age. It’s also bigger, and he didn’t do his best in the All-Star Game.

After all, how fierce is the competition for the top four in the West, or even the first.

In the East, the Bucks are the first in the East, the Cavaliers are the second, and the Heat are the third.

This allows Durant, Curry, James and Oden, Rose and other superstars to enjoy playing in the All-Star Game.

In the end, the East defeated the West 178-164. At the same time, Durant won the MVP with 10 of 15, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 31 points.

Although this game was not very exciting, at the end of the first half of the game, James and Durant formed a flanking attack on Chen Xiao, who was receiving the ball from the bottom corner three-point line. The flanking attack between James and Durant was simply Terrible!

Ordinary people are attacked by these two people, and I'm afraid they can't even see the basket. It must be three non-stick.

But Chen Xiao, while drifting off the court, hit a three-pointer at the buzzer!

Chen Xiao hit this incredible three-pointer in the sandwich between James and Durant~www.NovelMTL.com~ James, Durant, Curry, Oden, Rose, these Eastern All-Stars were all stunned.

The audience on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV were also stunned.

The end result is that this three-pointer is hotter than Durant's MVP after the game.

After all, this ball is so symbolic!

When Chen Xiao hit the ball, James and Durant were by his side, and Curry, Rose, and Oden all rushed towards him.

The prince of five alliances, and the old king of one alliance.

Pharaoh, with the help of a magical fairy ball, he defeated the five princes who were attacking him now!
