I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 136

Continental Airlines Arena, New Jersey.

After the battle with the Boston Celtics ended, Chen Xiao really wanted to say to Pierce, who was uncomfortable and didn't want to talk to him.

Paul, I really love you... the nickname!

117 to 101, the Nets won another four-game winning streak after defeating the Celtics at home.

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 4 of 6 in the first quarter, 3 of 5 in the second quarter, 3 of 8 in the third quarter, 2 of 8 in the fourth quarter, 12 of 27 in the game, and scored 32 points.

A score of 32 points was also the highest score of the game, 4 points more than Pierce's 28 points.

However, what about Chen Xiao's efficiency in this game...

It's really hard to explain in a word.

Especially in the second half, 5 of 16 shooting, Chen Xiao always feels that if the Nets freeze him in the second half, maybe this game against the Celtics can win by more than 30 points.

At that time, he was really shooting Truth and shooting high and forgot about it.

Every time he sees Pierce, Chen Xiao can't help his 'own' sex.

No kidding, Pierce's nickname is really greedy.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, he lost his mind, took off the Nets jersey and put on the Celtics jersey.

I'm really sorry.

However, neither Kee boss nor the team's coach Byron Scott blamed him after the game.

"First, the team won."

"Secondly, we also hope that you can have more aggressive performances."

"Again, we are not seeing you 5 of 16 in the second half. What we see is that you can still make 16 high-quality shots under Pierce's defense in the second half. This is the most important thing. Tonight is 5 of 16. , But what if your hand feels good at 11 out of 16?"

"Being able to defend tightly and have the ability to shoot without being affected by the defense means that you have the ability to change your life against the sky!"

Faced with the praise of the excited Nets coach Byron Scott, Chen Xiao was stunned.

This was the first time he knew that the ability to strike iron actually equals the ability to change one's fate!

He almost killed the Nets tonight, maybe tomorrow night, when the Nets need it, he will be able to kill others!

No wonder, in this era, few people think that Iverson's shots are too much and the efficiency is too low.

Iverson originally had this kind of stadium positioning, and Iverson's positioning is a stadium revolution.

"Chen, don't be stressed, just remember that the Nets need your shots."

After being patted on the shoulder by coach Byron Scott, Chen Xiao felt that he really realized it.

In this era, not only do NBA teams do not dislike "revolutionaries" like Iverson, but most teams even hope to have such a "revolutionary", a player who can change their lives for the team at critical moments.

Compared to those who can't make shots at critical moments that are defended by a strong defense.

As long as these revolutionaries can take action, they can give people hope.

Therefore, what Iverson and their iron bring to the team is not despair, but hope!

Amazing, really amazing!

Chen Xiao feels that he has learned a lot in this game against the Celtics.

The most important of these is.

'Don't be afraid of hitting iron! '

'Only if you can strike iron can there be hope! '

Of course, some people don't think so. The three views of basketball are not the same for everyone. It's normal.

After playing this game with the Celtics, Chen Xiao and the Nets players did not go out for interviews immediately after taking a shower in the locker room.

At this time everyone is waiting for the results of the first round of the All-Star vote.

At this time, the NBA headquarters in New York is announcing the results.

The team's general manager Rod Thorne was contacting the front by phone, and by the way, the Nets players in the dressing room were broadcasting the result live.

"Richard, congratulations, this time the All-Star vote, in the Eastern Conference forward position, you are ranked fourth, second only to Carter first, Jermaine O'Neal second, Grant Hill third. , And got 320,000 votes in the first round."

The team general manager Rod Thorne tried his best to let himself say this in a more congratulatory and happy tone.

But, obviously, the expectation and smile on Richard Jefferson's face were somewhat frozen at this time.

Although the fourth is already pretty good, but...

What about the good starter?

"Rhodes, is there a big gap between me and second Jermaine O'Neal?"

After Richard Jefferson asked unwillingly, Rod Thorne sighed.

"Eighty thousand votes."

Hearing this number, Richard Jefferson was stunned, and the vigor of stealing the spotlight on the court was gone.

Seeing Richard Jefferson like this, Chen Xiao pricked his eyes.

Is it such a big blow?

"Richard really thought he could make an All-Star starter? Don't look at his own averaging data. A 16+6 small forward actually tried to make an All-Star starter?"

Martin next to Chen Xiao whispered to Chen Xiao.

Okay, Martin can finally get revenge now.

Although this cannot be said to Richard Jefferson, who is now under attack, it is still okay to whisper to Chen Xiao and vent the hatred of Richard Jefferson before.

Looking at this picture of Martin, Chen Xiao thinks he should congratulate Martin in advance?

"Ken Young, can I now congratulate you in advance for becoming an All-Star starting center?"

"Of course, you can rest assured to congratulate, this year's Eastern Conference starting center, I have no competitors!"

There is no need to hide these words.

Martin finished speaking to Chen Xiao so confidently, all the Nets players in the locker room were looking sideways.

Including Richard Jefferson, who was already stunned, was gnashing his teeth and looking at Martin.

This guy did it on purpose!

Of course, except for Rod Thorne, who was still listening to the news ahead at this time.

"Ken Young, congratulations. In this year's Eastern Conference All-Star starting center vote, you got 350,000 votes, ranking second among all center players in the NBA."

When the team general manager said that he had 350,000 votes, Martin was already excited and raised his hands directly.

why?

Because last year's Eastern Conference All-Star starting center Mutombo had more than 600,000 votes. With 350,000 votes in the first round, he has already won, OK?

But in the end, Kenyon Martin was dumbfounded when he heard that he had such a high vote but only ranked second.

"I have all the votes like this, and there is anyone who can be higher than me? Who, Mutombo or Ben Wallace?!"

Martin is very excited.

And hearing these names in Martin's mouth, Rod Thorne kept shaking his head.

Finally, he gave a name that Martin would never think of: "Yao Ming."

o(?Д?) What? !

The Great Wall of China? !

"He, how many votes did he vote?"

Martin is still not reconciled, maybe he now thinks whether the team general manager Rod Thorne is a hallucination.

"Yao Ming's first round of votes was 570,000 votes."

Hearing this number of votes, Chen Xiao felt that Martin's whole person changed from color to black and white in an instant.

At the last moment, he may feel that he might still have a chance in the future...

can……

220,000 votes...

Martin's second coffin board was directly ordered.

Dayao can.

Is Dayao so popular in the United States?

Or is there a lot of votes from domestic fans?

In this regard, Chen Xiao is not very sure.

For him, there is little competition for the center position. Even if Dayao doesn't have enough domestic support, he can accept this number of votes.

This is different from the guard position he is in. The competition for the guard position in the East is really fierce.

Jordan, Iverson, Kee boss, McGrady...

Chen Xiao never thought that he could make a starter.

Even the boss himself doesn't necessarily think he can make the start of the All-Star.

Just when Chen Xiao was thinking about these things, Richard Jefferson, who had been ignorant just now, was resurrected in an instant.

"I have 80,000 votes less than Jermaine O'Neal. Why do I despair? Martin has 220,000 votes less than the Great Wall of China, hahahahaha!"

I have to say that humans are creatures that need to be compared.

It doesn't matter if you are miserable, as long as someone is miserable than you, you may be very happy.

"Jason, congratulations, you got 480,000 votes in the first round of the Eastern Conference All-Star guard, ranking third among all Eastern guards."

The number of votes of 480,000 votes made Kidd feel surprisingly high. The third position is normal. He was fourth last year.

In front are Jordan, Iverson and Tracy McGrady.

He should have stepped on McGrady this year?

Kidd doesn't really matter.

For him, it doesn't matter to start, and he is not a player who can only make the All-Star by starting.

He is different from Martin and Richard Jefferson.

If the two of them don't rely on the starter, it is not easy for the bench to make the All-Star.

"I didn't expect our results this season to be so good, and there weren't even a single player in the starting lineup."

The team's head coach Byron Scott sighed for his team's players.

"It's not that nobody is in the starting lineup."

Rod Thorne answered the phone with a surprised expression on his face, and then looked at Chen Xiao.

The look of Rod Thorne's look is quite troublesome.

Is it?

At this time, all the player coaches in the Nets locker room looked at Chen Xiao.

Even Chen Xiao herself was shocked by Rod Thorne's expression.

"Chen, congratulations, you became the first in the Eastern All-Star guard with 880,000 votes in the Eastern All-Star voting, and you were the top voter in the entire first round."

Overpowered Jordan, McGrady, Iverson, the boss of Key, and became the first defender in the Eastern Conference.

Overpowered O'Fang, Kobe, Carter, and Garnett to become the vote king.

For a while, silence remained in the Nets' locker room.

Including Chen Xiao, everyone's expressions were dumbfounded.

In fact, when the league announced the results of the first round of this year's All-Star vote, the entire NBA world was shocked and shocked.

According to the results of the first round of voting.

The starting center in the East is Yao Ming, the forwards are Carter and O'Neal, and the guards are Chen Xiao and McGrady.

In the West, the starting center is O'Neal, the forwards are Garnett and Duncan, and the guards are Kobe and Nash.

In the West, except for Nash, who performed well this season, surpassed Francis to become second. There were no surprises. It was not surprising that Nash surpassed Francis. Francis was not far from Nash last season. Francis does not say that his record is bad this season. , First win the battle with Jie Williams's team for the future.

Don't think about it for the start of the All-Star game.

The key is the east!

The result of the first round in the East really made the whole world dumbfounded.

Yao Ming, a 15.5+10 center, a starting center with a 7 wins and 21 loss team so far, actually got the first center, and the number of votes is amazing.

Chen Xiao, a rookie, although averaging 25 points per game, why can he hold down Jordan, McGrady, and Iverson. These seniors are more popular in the United States than his predecessors?

For a time, the entire NBA was talking about it.

In particular, the controversy in the East is not just about Yao Ming and Chen Xiao becoming the starters.

For example, in the guard position, Chen Xiao led by a large margin to become the first, followed by McGrady, followed by Kidd and Wade, who are not far behind McGrady, and then Iverson and Jordan's turn!

The **** of basketball, Michael Jordan, is ranked sixth in the East this year!

What happened to this world?

Is this still the world we know?

Everyone knows that this season is Jordan's last All-Star, but Jordan can only be ranked sixth?

Is it true that American fans are too shameless?

Or is it for other reasons?

For a while, everyone in the NBA was crazy about discussing this result.

As the starting center of the Eastern Conference, Yao Ming, of course, has become a target of public criticism.

Even after the game on December 23rd, the interview was conducted after the game.

Many NBA players bluntly said that Yao Ming is not worthy of starting.

Why do they say that Yao Ming is not good enough for the starter, not that Chen Xiao is not good enough for the starter?

Of course, it is because Chen Xiao is not only worthy of the starter, but also worthy of the vote king.

As the NCAA championship, the NCAA's MOP is more popular than the Michigan Five Tigers. The NCAA season creator and the leader of the Marquette Mitakas, even if they think Chen Xiao's 880,000 votes are incredible, but, Not many people think Chen Xiao is unworthy.

Because before Chen Xiao, Grant Hill has become the NBA All-Star rookie vote leader with the NCAA's king posture.

What? You have no opinion on Grant Hill and Chen Xiao for me. Do you think that our NCAA does not have a card ten years ago now?

Therefore, after a lot of discussions, everyone tacitly accepted that Chen Xiao wanted to copy Grant Hill to become the All-Star rookie vote king.

Whether you want to accept it or not, then you have to accept it.

What's more, Chen Xiao's current 25 points per game is not much worse than Grant Hill's rookie season.

So, all the controversy rushed to Yao Ming for a time.

"Yao, Ricky Davis said, you don't deserve to be an All-Star starter, what do you think?"

"Yao, Charles Barkley said, even with a bamboo pole, as long as you change into the skin and nationality of a Chinese, you can become the starting center of the NBA. What do you think?"

"Yao, O'Neal said that he is going to score 100 points in this year's All-Star Game. Do you think he can score 100 points against you?"

"Yao,..."

Looking at the crazy reporters in the room, Yao Ming was stunned, and Wade was also stunned.

In this away game between the Heat and the Cavaliers, Yao Ming, who scored 19 points and 18 rebounds on 6 of 8 and scored 19 points and 18 rebounds, performed well. Unfortunately, Wade had a bad touch. He made 11 of 33 shots and 14 of 19 free throws, which was relatively inefficient. The method scored 36 points, allowing the Heat to lose 72 to 74 away to the Cavaliers led by Ricky Davis, which suddenly broke out.

After the Cavaliers won the game like a concubine, the Cavaliers are uncomfortable, and the Heat are also uncomfortable.

This is a game that was destroyed by Ricky Davis and made both sides very uncomfortable.

Ricky Davis's unwilling look not only makes the Cavaliers uncomfortable, but also makes Yao Ming uncomfortable now.

He didn't even think about the All-Star start.

Looking at such a crazy media reporter now, even an EQ master like him is shocked at this time.

"I don't know if Xiao Chen is like this? He is the king of votes?"

Yao Ming and Wade are worried.

but……

The two men's worries are a bit redundant.

After the game between the Nets and the Boston Celtics, whether it is an American reporter or a Chinese reporter, congratulations to Chen Xiao.

Including the teammates of the team, all congratulations to Chen Xiao.

This is completely different from Yao Ming. Yao Ming can clearly feel that even in the Heat, he has a lot of unpleasant eyes.

Of course, this certainly does not include Wade's.

Moreover, it is not just congratulations. After the press conference, Richard Jefferson, the youngest of the team that has always been competitive with Chen Xiao, said with a low eyebrow that he would go to the CCTV basketball program with Chen Xiao. .

The guy that CCTV couldn't invite before, this time actually took such an initiative.

The reason, of course, is to brush up on the sense of existence!

Chen Xiao's 880,000 votes really scared him.

Assuming that all the 570,000 votes that Yao Ming received were Chinese votes, then Chen Xiao's Chinese votes should also have at least 600,000 votes.

What an incredible force is this?

As long as one-tenth more Chinese fans are willing to vote for him, it is easy and simple for him to surpass O'Neal!

Martin ranks second at the center, but he has completely cut off the possibility of an All-Star start.

And his Richard Jefferson ranked fourth among forwards, but he has a great chance of making the All-Star start.

As long as you hug Chen Xiao and Brother Chen's thighs, he can counterattack!

What a great opportunity!

Now the Pacers' little O'Neal is shivering!

Hahahahaha...

"'Nie is boring, the skin of the goose is dead and Li pinched to wake up, and the westerners are awake, and the goose loves the pot!" Chen, what do you think, the standard is not standard?"

"Very standard, great."

Chen Xiao didn't want to hit the confidence of this guy who said he was a fan of Chinese culture.

Well, Chinese culture lover, you are great.

Anyway, CCTV has subtitles that the audience can understand, and most people in China are very tolerant of foreigners speaking Chinese.

This is different from abroad.

Therefore, it does not matter if the standard is not standard.

Just have that heart.

Chen Xiao didn't expect that Richard Jefferson, a bad kid, would take the initiative to be his little brother one day.

Seeing this nervous guy next to him at this time, Chen Xiao wanted to laugh a little in his heart.

"Chen, wait a minute, you must be nice to me on TV, and I will also say good things to you, saying that you are the second master of our team, our leader, and we trade with each other."

Well, Chen Xiao has directly risen from the team's 2.5 to 1.5.

All become team leaders.

However, this deal was concluded.

Just when Yao Ming was going crazy to deal with the disputes of all parties.

Just when Chen Xiao took Richard Jefferson on CCTV.

At this time, David Stern, who had just announced the results of the first round of the All-Star, still looked at the votes in his hand and was inconceivable.

Why did the result of the first round of the All-Star vote postpone the result?

Because, in order to reduce the number of Chinese votes, the NBA's top officials have been arguing for a long time.

The final consensus was to compress it by 70% this year!

However, even if it was reduced by 70%, Yao Ming still became the center forward without any suspense, and Chen Xiao became the champion of the vote in one fell swoop, and he is the champion of the vote!

"President, this year many NCAA fans came here to vote for Chen Xiao, just like Grant Hill back then, but not as many as Grant Hill back then."

"Although Chen has not attracted as many NCAA fans as Grant Hill, his commercial potential is much larger than Grant Hill."

After David Stern finished speaking, the assistant next to him did not refute.

Make sense.

All NBA executives in this All-Star vote were stunned.

Shocked at the future prospects of the NBA in China.

Also shocked by David Stern's vision.

It is correct to go to China to promote the NBA even if it is free.

It is correct to strongly support the two Chinese players, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, to come to the NBA.

"It seems that this year's All-Star Weekend will create a miracle of All-Star ratings."

Regarding David Stern's judgment, the assistant also kept nodding his head.

Yao Ming's controversy.

Michael Jordan's farewell.

Coupled with the result that may inspire all Americans to watch the excitement.

The ratings of this All-Star Weekend are not high, and that's the real truth!

At this time, David Stern and the NBA's top executives were all caught in the excitement of anticipation.

"Chen, Yao, you didn't let me down!"

Among them, the most exciting is of course David Stern.

With the advent of Christmas in 2002, the audience and players of the entire NBA really did not expect that the result of the All-Star vote would bring them such a big surprise.

Even the controversy over the All-Star vote has somewhat concealed the focus of this year's Christmas War.

Of course, Yao Ming, as the center of focus, is really going to be annoying to death at this time.

"Xiao Chen, I also know that you have to be calm at this time, but looking at reporters from room to room, with more than 300 cameras facing you, do you think anyone can maintain a calm mind?"

"Others don't know, I think I should be able to."

Yao Ming felt that he didn't want to talk to Chen Xiao at this time.

However, the All-Star vote for the striker first brings more than endless face-slaps and controversy to Yao Ming. There are also benefits.

"Xiao Chen, I am going to give up the negotiation with , and I don't want him to keep the price down. I am going to sign Reebok for 50 million in 7 years."

"Congratulations, 50 million in 7 years, Reebok is very sincere."

Reebok is indeed very sincere~www.mtlnovel.com~ So after Reebok signed Yao Ming, Nike, who was negotiating with Yao Ming and Chen Xiao to lower prices at both ends, finally couldn't sit still.

Yesterday, Nike, who was still there with Chen Xiao and Yao Ming guarding the 7-year 30 million bottom line, directly threw a 7-year 120 million contract at Chen Xiao, stunned Chen Xiao and Feigen.

This change of face, absolutely!

Is this a capitalist?

good job.

Since you are so good, we can't be bad either.

"Chen, we have taken the initiative, hold back, we must hold back, we must not be stunned!"

is a powerful capitalist.

The man named Feigen next to Chen Xiao has the strongest skill to squeeze the capitalist's wool...
