I’m Really Playing Basketball

I'm really playing basketball Chapter 867 The sing-along Warriors!

The Warriors, who had a 100% record in October and November, came to December, and they were still making progress.

On December 3, the Warriors continued to return home to face the Suns. In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 21 shots, 5 of 14 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 32 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, leading the team. Easily beat the Suns 116-106.

In this game, the Warriors had another big rotation. Backup point guard Jordan Poole performed well, 9 of 15, 6 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 28 points.

Jordan Poole's performance this season has improved from last season.

So far this season, Jordan Poole has averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game, and the shooting rate is also quite good at 38%. As a young player in the third year, whether it is the production or quantity of three-pointers, Jordan Poole has done very well. not bad.

The stability is good, and there are bursts of performance from time to time.

It is indeed a very profitable thing for the Warriors to select such a backup guard at the end of the first round.

Of course, most people count the growth of young players such as Jordan Poole, Alexander, and Herbert Jones on Chen Xiao.

After all, Chen Xiao's entire career has been a career of continuous counterattacks with young players who are not so talented.

From Boozer of the Nets to Barnes of the Cavaliers, Tyson Chandler of the parallel trade, Jimmy Butler of the Bobcats and now a batch of young men of the Warriors, Chen Xiao has cultivated them over the years. How many low-ranking young people?

Can't count.

So much so that some experts laughed and said that the number of young players cultivated by the superstars in the entire league is not as many as that of Chen Xiao alone.

It's a joke, but it's extraordinarily true.

On December 6th, the Warriors continued to play at home against the eastern underdog Magic. In this game, Chen Xiao only played three quarters, 8 of 12, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 28 points and 9 rebounds. With 11 assists, this game is one of the rare games where Chen Xiao did not get a triple-double this season.

However, it can be seen from Chen Xiao's data that Chen Xiao really does not brush data.

In fact, at the end of the third quarter, Anthony deliberately gave up the board for Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao directly ignored it.

Because Chen Xiao had already taken the other side's center, Jordan, to the front court.

When Jordan retreated to the basket, Chen Xiao stayed at the three-point line, received a ball from Marvin Bagley from inside, and made a shot at the buzzer from outside the three-point line.

Yes, for Chen Xiao and the Warriors, it is not necessary to get backcourt rebounds.

Westbrook took backcourt rebounds to better promote fast breaks and assists.

And Chen Xiao, he can use backcourt rebounds to advance fast breaks and assists.

Likewise, he doesn't necessarily need this.

When the rebound falls in the hand, the organization promotes the fast break.

If the rebound is in the hands of your teammates because everyone can pass the ball, run forward and open up space for your teammates on the fast break.

Therefore, the fast break of the Warriors this season is really crazy and fast.

In this game against the Magic, the Magic also felt very clearly. The Magic, who played away from home, lost 36 points to the Warriors 100-136.

That's why one section is garbage time.

This season, the Warriors are still the team with the strongest offense, the most points per game, and the most assists per game in the league.

The current Warriors have begun to be noticed by the experts in the league.

After all, everyone is not blind, and Ray Allen can feel that the current Bucks have completed reconstruction under the leadership of Chen Xiao.

Even if other people don't have the vision of Ray Allen, they will be able to find it if they are a little slower.

Therefore, in the odds of the major gambling companies, the odds of the Warriors reaching the finals are already on a par with the Lakers.

Of course, when it comes to winning the championship odds, the Bucks must still be the best.

It can only be said that now everyone starts to regard Chen Xiao and the team he brought as a championship contender team.

On December 8, the Warriors faced the Blazers, who missed Lillard. In the Warriors' home game, Warriors fans saw the excellent performance of the team's former player Norman Powell.

Lillard, who has been arguing about leaving the team this season, was sidelined due to injury, but gave Norman Powell a chance.

This season in the Blazers, Norman Powell has averaged nearly 20 points per game. In this game against the Warriors, Powell also scored 26 points, although he was only 8 of 23 against the rookie Herbert Jones. , but, what more could you ask for from a former role player.

Okay, after all, not many Blazers scored in double figures in this game.

In this game, the Warriors' starting lineup is Chen Xiao, Marvin Bagley, Wilkins, Herbert Jones, and Morant.

The defense of this starting lineup is really good.

So much so that this game lacked Lillard and the Trail Blazers were guarded by the Warriors on 30% shooting and 20% 3-point shooting.

In the end, the Blazers lost to the Warriors 84-124 on the road by 40 points.

The defense displayed by the Warriors in this game definitely surprised many experts.

So much so that after the game ended, the odds of the Warriors breaking through the West increased again, and they had already begun to overwhelm the Lakers.

According to the commentary of the game, Maizi said: "The return of Marvin Bagley and the growth of Herbert Jones have changed the defense of the Warriors!"

What Maizi said was right. The Warriors' past defensive problems were solved directly with the arrival of Bagley and Jones.

After all, the Warriors' roster this season is really the equivalent of an undersized Brow (Bagley) and a smaller Leonard (Jones).

This means that there are fulcrums inside and out.

With Bagley's presence, Chen Xiao can also squat in the basket with peace of mind. To be honest, although Chen Xiao is a little shorter, his strength and confrontation, squatting under the basket, is also very powerful. At least, Now 90% of the league's centers can't hold Chen Xiao under the basket.

Except for Jokic, Oden and a few other centers, Chen Xiao actually squatted under the basket and was not afraid of anyone.

In addition, the appearance of Herbert Jones is equivalent to the team having an extra defensive point of defense against the opponent's sharp knife. It can lock the opponent's outside line with Wiggins, and this defensive point also has 40% or more 3-pointers.

Herbert Jones was the perfect answer the Warriors could find after Klay was sidelined with a serious injury.

Therefore, as long as the fans watching the Warriors games can find that Herbert Jones is now playing more and more time.

The number of first appearances has also increased.

In history, Herbert Jones's rookie season, the flank defense rating is the first in rookie history, and it is also the first flank player this season. If you count the inside players, Herbert Jones's defensive rating is seventh.

To be fair, this is a treasure player, just like Roger and Leonard back then, it's hard to ignore him.

And judging from his performance in his rookie season, his performance on the defensive end and offensive end is even better than Leonard's.

So much so that after the announcement of the defense in history, a large number of fans complained about him, a rookie who was not selected for the defense.

So many experts say that he is the best rookie in the history of flank defense.

This time and space is in the Warriors. Although the Warriors have many strong players on the flanks, how could Kerr and Chen Xiao be buried in Herbert Jones.

It is actually the luck of the Warriors and Chen Xiao to have such a player who can make up for the team's loopholes.

Therefore, on the training ground of the Warriors, everyone can see that Chen Xiao loves Herbert Jones. On the training ground, Chen Xiao cultivates Herbert Jones just like he did to Nongmei and Jokic. Cultivate the same.

It's almost a hands-on.

And Herbert Jones himself is really upbeat.

On December 11, the Warriors once again started a continuous road trip to the East.

On December 11, the Warriors' first game was against the 76ers led by Embiid.

What's very interesting about this game is not the outcome of the game, but when Embiid, the head of the 76ers, faced Chen Xiao's defense and singled Chen Xiao in the interior. The big center actually played all kinds of fouls and big loops in front of Chen Xiao. Not to mention the fans of the 76ers were stunned. Iverson was stunned. Even Chen Xiao himself was stunned. .

Although Embiid is often injured, Chen Xiao still has an impression of him. It seems that he was not so soft before. His footsteps are very good and his shooting is also very good.

But in this matchup with Chen Xiao, he couldn't show Chen Xiao's footsteps, and after being entangled by Chen Xiao and missed a few shots, he didn't have any confidence, and then he could only play fouls in various ways. Now, all kinds of fake handle, lying down.

However, doing whatever it takes to win is not wrong.

It's just that in the eyes of veteran players such as Chen Xiao and Iverson, this method is not very good.

And in the league dominated by the old basketball style, there are several players like Kevin Martin, James Harden, and Embiid. It is not really unacceptable.

So after the game, Chen Xiao, who led the team to a 115-102 victory over the 76ers, gave Embiid a hug after the game.

Except for some shortcuts in the game, he is actually a pretty good young man.

This game is also enough to entangle Chen Xiao.

In this game, Chen Xiao was fouled 5 times by him. This kid really played the home field advantage to the extreme. At the same time, Chen Xiao made 8 of 20 and 4 of 14 three-pointers in this game, making the lowest hit this season. Rate.

Of course, Embiid made 6 of 23, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 11 of 11 free throws. Although he scored the same 24 points as Chen Xiao, Embiid was much worse.

Because in addition to the free throws, all kinds of things were taken by Chen Xiao.

Whether he is diving or not, at least visually, Embiid, the center representative of the younger generation, was beaten by Chen Xiao.

By the way, Chen Xiao scored 24 points, 24 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 steals and 6 blocks in this game.

This is a super 5x5 triple-double, and Chen Xiao has become the oldest player in NBA history to get a 5x5.

Chen Xiao committed a lot of fouls in this game, but he also had a lot of steals and blocks.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao was also a little angry by this kid in the game, and the aggressiveness of defense has indeed become more and more aggressive.

In the end, Chen Xiao always carried five fouls and was not sent off. It can only be said that he ate the dividend of the first person in history. The referee on duty was not Crawford, and he did not dare to build prestige on him.

If it was the bald Crawford who whistled the game, Chen Xiao would have applauded like Duncan off the court.

The game against the 76ers was a bit of a drain on Chen Xiao, so after the game was over, although Chen Xiao said he was okay, Kerr also rested Chen Xiao anyway.

Now that the Warriors have started their 26-game winning streak, the Warriors have nothing to pursue for the winning streak.

After all, the winning streak was originally owned by the Warriors and Chen Xiao.

In this case, the health of the team must come first.

Chen Xiao averaged 40 minutes per game this season, which is unbelievable for a veteran who has passed his 39th birthday.

Unless Chen Xiao said he had a cheater and was not afraid, Kerr and the Warriors would not have allowed Chen Xiao to fight like this.

On December 12th, the Warriors played against the Pacers led by Beasley and Sabonis. The Warriors played very hard, but in the end they lost 102 to 108 on the road.

In this game, the Pacers center Sabonis scored 12 of 17 and scored 30 points. He was so efficient that it could almost be said to destroy the Warriors.

However, without Chen Xiao's warriors, the center is indeed no one.

Even with Chen Xiao on the field, facing Sabonis, who is feeling so hot, the Warriors are estimated to be in a bad way.

After all, Chen Xiao's height is indeed very passive when defending such a center.

Losing to the Pacers, the Warriors also ushered in the first defeat of the season.

However, after losing to the Pacers, on December 14, Chen Xiao, who came back, led the Warriors to easily slaughter the Knicks led by Westbrook at Madison Square in New York.

135 to 106, Chen Xiao scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 18 assists in the third quarter, and Westbrook also scored a 30+ triple-double.

But the content of the game, the two teams are completely different.

Especially in the Knicks crazy Anthony, this game 11 of 18, 7 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored a game-high 32 points, can be said to be fierce in front of Knicks fans slapped New York management in the face.

And after the game, Melon hugged Chen Xiao very happily and excitedly.

Really didn't say, in this game he scored 11 goals, 8 of which were assisted by Chen Xiao!

Being so slaughtered in front of the home fans made Westbrook very upset. He left the court with a mouthful of mouth, and did not thank the court, nor did he hug Anthony, a former teammate.

Of course, Anthony certainly doesn't care about that either.

After beating the Knicks, the Warriors defeated the Celtics, but after beating the Celtics, the Warriors lost back-to-back 110-119 to Menglong.

In this game, Milicic scored 16 of 24 and scored 39 points. The center veteran, this game is definitely scary.

It's really impossible to defend. The Warriors' inside line was destroyed, and the outside line was also brought down.

After all, Milicic is a contract between Nowitzki and Garnett, and he claims to be a player with 90% of the strength of Nowitzki and Garnett.

He can pass the ball and is very good.

After finishing five straight Eastern Conference road trips, the Warriors returned home and beat the Kings and Grizzlies one after another.

Christmas fight on December 25th.

The Warriors are finally about to usher in their fateful opponent this season.
