I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 213

Matt Barnes was traded to the Cavaliers by the Grizzlies in the second round of the draft last year. He was waived by the Cavaliers before the Cavaliers waited until the start of the new season.

　　 After being waived by the Cavaliers, Barnes has never found a job in the NBA, and has been looking for opportunities in various places across the United States, living a life where there is no tomorrow.

　　 It was hard to get through to the end of the NBA season. When the teams started preparing for the new season, he didn't know where to go. Finally, he thought of his old club, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

　　 It's not that he has any special feelings for Cleveland, because the head of the Cavaliers, Chen Xiao, is his acquaintance in the NCAA.

　　 Seeing how Chen Xiao represented the Cavaliers in this year's draft, it is difficult for Barnes to have no other ideas.

　　 Barnes is not without friends in the NBA. As a player from his background, how could he have no contacts.

　　 But such contacts are not very useful. In the NBA, there are too few players with the privilege of managing the team. Those of his friends want to sign him, but they can't sign.

　　 But the Cavaliers are different. If Chen Xiao is willing to sign him, it will really be a matter of minutes and a sentence.

　　 In the corner of the Cavaliers training hall, listening to Barnes talking about his experience this year, Chen Xiao also felt very incredible.

　　 He knows the strength of Barnes. In the NCAA, Barnes is good offensive and defensive. He knows everything, but he is not almighty.

　　 It is said that the game against Marquette University that made Barnes famous in the NCAA, the game that made Chen Xiao defense very uncomfortable.

　　 Chen Xiao still remembers the complete data of Barnes in that game.

　　 17 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. The statistics are all filled. Offensive, offensive, defensive, and organized.

　　 This number one player really made Marquette University feel at the time whether he had encountered the dermis in the NCAA.

　　 is considered to be one of the strongest strikers that Marquette has encountered in the NCAA.

　　 After finishing Marquette University, Barnes was very popular. At that time, many media said he could make the first round.

　　 I didn't expect that Barnes was really miserable after he came to the NBA.

　　 "I have all the skills and talents, but none of the skills are stable, and the talents are not commendable. In the NCAA, I am all-around, and in the NBA, I am the NBA's least-needed all-powerful player."

　　 Chen Xiao felt a little understanding after listening.

　　 In the NBA, if you want an all-around player to win, then you must be really all-around, otherwise, all-around is really not as good as a player with a unique skill.

　　 If you are really versatile, then you will be the core and star player of the team. You are a role player, and you deserve to be versatile?

　　 So, it's really embarrassing for a role player like Barnes who knows everything.

　　 However, seeing that his old acquaintances were so miserable in the NBA, it was fine if Chen Xiao didn't have the ability before. Now that he has the ability, he can help if he can.

　　 "Matt, let's go single."

　　 "If you reach the Cavaliers' goal, I will suggest that the team keep you."

　　 To be reasonable, after hearing Chen Xiao say this, Matt Barnes felt that Chen Xiao was teasing him to play against you, the finals MVP?

　　 Am I singled out?

　　 It's just that this is one of the few opportunities he can get.

　　 Even if he was humiliated by Chen Xiao, the finals MVP, he must seize this opportunity!

　　 "Isn't Matt not willing?"

　　 If he doesn't want to, Chen Xiao will be a little difficult. Although the knight has given him privileges, he does not want to abuse the knight's trust in him.

　　 "I do!"

　　 Just when Chen Xiao was a little difficult to handle, Barnes replied that made Chen Xiao happy.

　　 "OK, Matt, I will tell you the rules now."

　　Barnes froze for a moment. Although he is not a good heads-up player, he can still play heads-up. There are rules and so on. I really don't need to teach him.

　　 just...

　　 An hour later...

　　 When Chen Xiao took him to the Cavaliers general manager's office to reach a contract with a full guarantee for the end-of-year salary of 3, Barnes was blinded.

　　 Looking at the three-year 2.4 million full guarantee contract, Barnes's hands trembled a little.

　　 and Chen Xiao singled out.

　　 stood in front of Chen Xiao and was shot twice by Chen Xiao.

　　 Then, Chen Xiao was taken to the Cavaliers general manager's office to sign.

　　 In this short hour, he finished the road he hadn't finished in the past year.

　　 When Matt Barnes and the Cavaliers reached a three-year $2.4 million full guarantee contract, the players in the Cavaliers training hall who came to the Cavaliers to look for opportunities were blinded.

　　 Feeling the enviable eyes around him, Barnes, who had recovered a little from the hood, was filled with excitement.

　　 This kind of look was the look he used to look at others!

　　 I thought Chen Xiao would single him out to tease him, but I didn't expect it to be him down the steps.

Chen Xiao was afraid that he would not eat the food that he came, so he deliberately found a reason for him to get the contract, and challenged him head-to-head, let him stand there like a stake and be shot by him. He did nothing and acted as a two-handed man. Stakes, and got a fully guaranteed basic salary contract.

　　 How lucky this is.

　　 Thinking of Chen Xiao's consideration for him, Barnes was really moved.

　　 What dignity can be said for a person who wanders around and drifts around like him?

　　 Even if it was the food that came, even the bread thrown by the rich on the ground, he would squat down and pick it up religiously.

　　 Now he is really not qualified to talk about self-esteem.

　　 But, he still gave me self-esteem...

　　 Looking at the young man walking ahead with a hearty smile on his face, he stepped forward and moved towards Barnes, who was following behind.

　　 "My sky is bright."

　　 "And he is the sun that illuminates me!"

　　 The signing of Matt Barnes is just an episode of Chen Xiao in the summer.

　　 Chen Xiao's main theme this summer is to learn from James' ball-handling skills.

　　 James' ball feel is also average, but how did he develop such an excellent ball control?

　　According to the evaluation of the boss of Ke and Ke, with the ball control ability of James' level, the ball must be very strong. It is casual to play with butterflies and flowers, but... ahem.

　　 It's not to say that Xiao Zhan won't change his direction.

　　 Instead, Xiao Zhan changed direction, and Chen Xiao was silently wiping sweat while watching. It was too suspended, feeling that the ball would fall at any time and make mistakes at any time.

　　 Xiao Zhan's ball-handling style is completely different from the basketball boss Ke, Ji boss, and Ai boss.

　　 And when Xiao Zhan changes direction under the close defense of Ke boss, when his right hand is changed to left hand, he will subconsciously look down at the ball with his head.

　　 Of course, not close to the body, Xiao Zhan does not have to look down at the ball, the direction change is also very strong and smooth.

"Chen, if you want to control the basketball in your hand, it is possible to control the basketball without relying on the sense of the ball. It is also possible to control it with strength. However, this will be a little more complicated. The subtle control of power is not so easy. Moreover, it is not easy to control the basketball with the sense of the ball. In comparison, the control of basketball with strength is not so fine. In a high-intensity confrontation, it may not be as smooth and smooth as Kobe and Iverson."

　　 Chen Xiao was very moved to see Xiao Zhan seem to be really thinking about him.

　　Seriously, he is also a person who likes picturesque. If he can, who would not want to be picturesque?

　　 Butterflies wear flowers, branch-style swan dance, who doesn't want to.

　　 However, in the situation where there is no way to improve the talent of the ball, Chen Xiao can only be pragmatic first.

　　 is the same as when he and Wade learned about Webster's shooting.

　　 Webster's shots were not as picturesque as Kee's shots compared to Joe's shots, but they were the most suitable for Chen Xiao at the time.

　　 And Xiao Zhan's current dribbling and ball control are the same, first practice dribbling and ball control, as for the rest, I will talk about it later.

　　 After all, there must be a road to the front of the mountain, the boat to the bridge is naturally straight, optimistic, it has always been his style.

　　 Seeing that Chen Xiao really wanted to learn his ball-handling skills, James did not hesitate anymore.

　　 It's not that he is reluctant to share his unique skills with Chen Xiao.

　　 To be reasonable, he is really entangled with himself and Chen Xiao's positioning in the Cavaliers.

　　 When Chen Xiao was transferred to the Cavaliers, he was real... Hey, let's not talk about it.

　　 Chen Xiao is the boss of the Cavaliers.

　　 But he is not like the second child of the team.

　　 Because the knight gave Chen Xiao the privileges, he also gave him a lot.

　　 There is no other team's second child, he is like this.

　　 How did this happen? He doesn't know for the time being anyway, but Chen Xiao is really good to him now.

　　 When Chen Xiao taught him defense, he was also wholeheartedly, because his defense growth is really fast!

　　 Chen Xiao is not afraid that his strength will become stronger and overwhelm him.

　　 Since LeBron James is the future of the team, he must have such a measure!

　　 "Chen, feel the power of the whole body!"

　　 Under the guidance of Xiao Zhan's teacher, Chen Xiao almost completely abandoned his previous ball-handling skills.

　　 To be reasonable, the skills taught by Wade or Kidd are all moves that use the sense of the ball as the core.

　　 And Xiao Zhan is a move that uses the subtle power control of the whole body as the core stimulus.

　　 I can see clearly, it is the control of the subtle power of the whole body, not the pure core power.

　　 Xiao Zhan's this one is much harder than Wade and theirs.

　　 How can ordinary people have the perfect body of a beast like Xiao Zhan, there is no defect in the strength of any part of the body, and it can be precisely controlled so well.

　　 Of course, most people will not learn how to control the ball like Xiao Zhan.

　　 And Chen Xiao, of course, is not an ordinary person.

　　 "Xiao Zhan, I think, I really suit your ball control!"

　　 Chen Xiao is very excited, because the progress is really fast, and it is also very fast to get started!

　　 But James was shocked. What was not a memory in his mind was that after being stepped on by Bowen, Chen Xiao returned to the original picture with a few stomping feet in place.

On July 19, 2003, Florida, Orlando Pepsi NBA Summer League, Chen Xiao, who does not need to participate in the summer league this year, because he always needs to practice ball handling by Mr. Xiao Zhan, this time he also followed the team's assistant coach Mike. Brown and the Cavaliers came to Orlando.

　　 This year's summer league, the Cavaliers will participate in Pepsi's Orlando Summer League and Reebok's Boston Summer League.

　　 On the night of July 19th, James made his NBA debut. The Cavaliers faced the host Magic.

　　 In an ordinary summer league, superstar players like Chen Xiao and Duncan McGrady do not play. They are all rookies and some fringe players in the NBA.

　　 However, this game still attracted tens of thousands of spectators, more than 15,000, and the original price of 5 US dollars a ticket was shocked to 80 US dollars.

　　 At the same time, a total of 108 media from across the United States came to the scene to report on the game.

　　 Before the game started, the traffic jam near the stadium actually lasted for 5 hours.

　　 From this we can see to what extent James' influence in the United States has reached.

　　 There is no way, the nation has longed for James to play again for too long.

　　 Before today's game, James' most recent game was at the end of March to assist St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School to win the Ohio High School League three consecutive championships.

　　 It's been four months now.

　　 Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Chen Xiao was stunned to see the crowds at the Magic's home court. He thought the regular season had begun. Even the Magic benches McGrady and Duncan were shocked not far away.

　　 When they played in the playoffs last season, there was no such horrible scene!

　　 Remember, this is not Cleveland, this is Oakland, and the Cavaliers are away from home!

ps: The data appearing in the book are all real, not fabricated. James' summer league debut, the attention in the United States, that's true Dior, tell you guys, when James made his debut, Xinhua News Agency was based in Washington. The reporters have all gone. What kind of big news is happening in the United States? The Xinhua News Agency reporters in Washington need to be dispatched. It is reasonable. James's career started. It was really Wang Bang's start. The NBA has never seen such a card face. Rookie.

　　 There are so many cards on the scene, with Xiao Zhan's personality, of course, there is no doubt that he will be handsome and cool.

　　 During the live interview before the game, Xiao Zhan's expression and tone were quite cold.

　　 "LeBron, many people are worried that you haven't played for too long. This time you will be uncomfortable with the transition from high school games to NBlevel games. This game may perform badly. What do you think?"

"Every time I play for a team, many people will shut up their critics. This time I will do the same. The high school league and NBA games are no different to me. When I get to the NBA, I will continue. Hit the level I was in high school and take myself to new heights!"

　　 James finished speaking confidently, which aroused cheers from the audience.

　　 In this game against the Magic, the Cavaliers' starting players are point guard James, shooting guard Mo Williams, small forward Kyle Korver, power forward Dior, and center Tyson Chandler.

Before the game started, Xiao Zhan was indeed quite confident. For him, after he entered the basketball world, he had not encountered any decent challenge at all. He was surrounded by the praises of the whole world, Jordan + Magician. Combination.

　　 To be reasonable, any person in such an environment will be extremely confident and even arrogant.

　　 Xiao Zhan is already considered this way, at least there are others in his eyes.

　　 Ordinary people, in an environment like Xiao Zhan, I am afraid they would have floated into outer space long ago.

　　 How can I just float on the earth like Xiao Zhan?

　　 Xiao Zhan really wants to play a role in this game, and Chen Xiao can also see that when this game is up, Xiao Zhan has exerted his strong personal ability. After he grabbed the inadvertent Parker at halftime, he went straight to the end and completed the first one-handed dunk in the game after joining the NBA, a one-stop dunk.

　　 followed by a backhand and a beautiful NO-LOOK pass to help teammate Tyson Chandler dunk.

　　 All of this was completed just 2 minutes after the start of the game.

　　 To be fair, Parker, Ginobili and others on the Magic team have been dumbfounded. I have never seen such a fierce rookie in the summer league.

　　 After the first quarter of this game, the Cavaliers have led the Magic by 16 points, while James scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter.

　　 As a high school rookie who played an NBA level game for the first time, this opening was perfect!

　　 Chen Xiao, who was seen as the team's big brother, kept applauding James next to him.

　　 But this is after all Xiao Zhan's first NBA game, and this game is naturally not all good.

　　 For example, many long-range shots made by Xiao Zhan in this game, such as three-pointers and long-distance two-pointers, had three non-stick situations.

　　 For example, when changing defenses with his teammates, he moved too slowly, causing Parker to score easily without defense on the bottom line several times.

The worst of them was in the third quarter. Jen didn't know why he suddenly cut off the power. A careless pass was intercepted by Magic's Britton Johnson, who came in front of Jen. "Face to face" dunk.

　　 The face of Xiao Zhan was upset by this one.

　　 The game show was pretty good, and it was fun to play. Isn't this just making papas on top of the cake he made?

　　 "LeBron, it's okay. Isn't it just being buckled by a rider? Look, the big dumb guy over there is often buckled like this. It's a trivial matter.

　　 James looked at Duncan, who was not far away. Duncan noticed Xiao Zhan's gaze. After a moment, he smiled blankly, which made James' face a little better.

　　 But still very angry.

　　 Young people, normal.

Although it was said that James himself was dunked by the magic team's nameless **** in this game, James himself was uncomfortable, but his performance in this game was very good. He played for 25 minutes, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the Cavaliers. The away win over the Magic, this debut, is still perfect.

　　 After playing the game with the Magic, Chen Xiao thought that Xiao Zhan had recovered from the emotion of being snapped by Johnson.

　　 What Chen Xiao did not expect was that Xiao Zhan was still thinking about it in the second game against the Heat.

　　 The Cavaliers led by Xiao Zhan faced the Heat led by Bosh and Wang Zhizhi and finally lost. After the game lost, Xiao Zhan was very angry.

　　 "Xiao Chen, your champion is very angry."

　　 Chen Xiao was also embarrassed by Dayao's ridicule. Of course, he shouldn't let Dayao have a bad impression of Xiao Zhan.

　　 "Little Zhan is not usually like this. He is a very good and well-behaved boy. If he doesn't know why, he tends to be irritable in the game."

　　 "It may be stressful."

　　 "Well, it's possible."

　　 Chen Xiao nodded seriously after thinking of something.

　　 After this match with the Heat, at the press conference after the game, Xiao Zhan was furious and claimed that he would no longer participate in the next games of the Orlando Summer League.

　　 This surprised Chen Xiao, who was the guest team assistant coach and James attending the press conference together.

　　 Fortunately, Chen Xiao was beside him, persuading the furious little Zhan Ke.

　　 As a man of heaven who has won three years in a row, it is difficult to accept defeat. This is understandable.

　　 But, when I usually train, my Xiao Zhan is not like that, what a gentleman, what a gentle person.

　　 How come to the arena and encounter some difficulties, Xiao Zhan suddenly exploded and changed his personality, suddenly there are so many stinky problems!

　　 Fortunately, Xiao Zhan gave up the decision to abandon the summer league under the persuasion of Chen Xiao and the American media on the spot.

　　 But Xiao Zhan's face is still very upset.

　　 "The NBA field is longer than the field I played in high school. This is the only reason I lost this game!"

　　 When Xiao Zhan said this, Chen Xiao was frightened again.

　　 Xiao Zhan, you just said yesterday that the high school league is no different from the NBA. If you say so now, the reporter will not let you go!

　　 Originally, Chen Xiao always thought that Xiao Zhan was a perfect teammate with a very high quotient and a high IQ. He didn't need to worry about the boss of the team. Now, Chen Xiao is really blinded.

　　 Your sudden self-explosion is very scary, okay!

　　 Just when Chen Xiao worried that the underwhelming American media would attack his little Zhan...

　　 "LeBron, fans flocked to the stadium in order to see you with their own eyes, and they couldn't buy a $5 ticket for the last $50. What do you want to say about the love of the fans?"

"I like playing in front of the fans very much so that I will play better! My friend once said to me that I had more fans in high school than the Cavaliers fans last year. I am very happy that they like me. I I really enjoy this feeling."

　　 Seeing Xiao Zhan and the American media next to him start a new round of question and answer, Chen Xiao is in a sluggish state.

　　 This group of American reporters are sure to be American reporters who are like wolves to us, every detail must be black, and every sting must be picked?

　　What about your memory?

　　 My little Zhan doesn't have amnestics, right?

　　 At the end of the post-match press conference with Xiao Zhan with an unbelievable emotion, Chen Xiao asked curiously to Xiao Zhan who had recovered his gentleman's gentleness.

　　 "LeBron, tell me, do you have superpowers!"

superpower?

　　 James blinked, my Xiao Chen got second again?

　　 Okay, one thinks that his own little Zhan has a lot of stinky problems during the game, and likes sudden explosions to scare people.

　　 I think my own Xiao Chen is the second form from time to time.

　　 If you dislike each other so much, break up.

　　 "LeBron, good job, 20+ again."

　　 "Well, but this is not a superpower."

　　 Soon, the two people who "disliked" each other in their hearts, looked at each other and smiled, and left the post-match press conference together.

　　 After this loss to the Heat, Xiao Zhan still gave up this year's summer league.

　　 Of course, Xiao Zhan stopped playing, and Chen Xiao naturally stopped following the team.

　　 "Matt, come on, take the opportunity to perform well."

　　 However, when Chen Xiao left, he did not forget to encourage Barnes, his old acquaintance in the NCAA.

　　 Others don't need his encouragement, they are very familiar, and they can let go, but Barnes can't let go.

　　 Half a month after leaving Orlando and returning to Cleveland, Chen Xiao, who practiced ball control with Xiao Zhan day and night, was stunned after finishing his daily ball control training with Xiao Zhan.

　　 "Chen, are you okay?"

　　 James looked at Chen Xiao who was suddenly sluggish at this time with some worry.

　　 At this time, Chen Xiao's eyes were staring at the system.

　　 "Ding, congratulations to the host for getting LeBron James' inheritance, comprehending Zijin's dribbling action, and rampaging."

　　 "Ding, check the host's physical hardware conditions to be equipped with this skill, whether it is equipped."

　　 "Xiao Zhan, I found your magic skills!"

　　 Xiao Zhan? What's this name?

　　 "Xiao Zhan, our body fits so well!"

　　 Chen Xiao is really excited. Wade has taught him how to shoot for so long, but he hasn't made Webster's shooting skills.

　　 Xiao Zhan only taught him how long to dribble, and he became directly skillful!

　　 What kind of fit is this!

　　 Seeing the excited Chen Xiao suddenly grabbed her shoulders and looked at herself moved...

　　 Xiao Zhan said that he was a little scared...

　　Ps: In this chapter, the encounters and anger of Zhan in the preseason and his exit from the summer league are real events, not made up by the fisherman, and the fisherman once again reminds that this book does not black any stars, it is really not black, come, let us be full of sunshine! !
