I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 238

Early in the morning on December 10, 2003, Chen Xiao came to the Cavaliers training hall early. After defeating the Raptors at home yesterday, the Cavaliers ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference once again.

Both the Cavaliers and the Raptors have a record of 11 wins and 10 losses, and the Cavaliers have a direct match record leading, ranking eighth.

Let's not talk about whether the eighth position is a little lower, but the playoff area is the playoff area.

So after the game, Chen Xiao successfully squeezed into the top ten in the league's newly announced MVP rankings.

Well, Chen Xiao now ranks seventh in the MVP ranking.

Chen Xiao never thought about the MVP matter, but mainly wanted to tell you how different is the team in the playoffs and the teams not in the playoffs.

As long as the team you bring is in the playoffs, your public opinion environment is not generally good.

This is very important for a young team like the Cavaliers.

And defeating a direct opponent like the Raptors will indeed make the Cavaliers players feel that the Raptors, who directly compete with us for the postseason position, are not as good as themselves, so can we still lose this position in the playoffs?

Sitting at eight is stable, so can we compete for a higher position and make an impact?

After all, the Nets are really strong this season, and the Magic are also very strong. Can we work harder and strive to become the sixth in the Eastern Conference?

This is what the Cavaliers group of young players think now.

This is what Chen Xiao saw and felt after coming to the team early in the morning.

"Little Chen, now that we have Jamal, our Cleveland Cavaliers are going to make the top five!"

Xiao Zhan, you can do it, you can float a lot more than me.

I said that yesterday, the iron torrent of Cleveland came, but I didn't say that I would make a big stride to make it into the top five.

According to Xiao Zhan, this is to replace the current fifth Pistons in the Eastern Conference.

This step is a bit big.

Or does Xiao Zhan think the Pistons are easy to bully?

Well, why does Xiao Zhan think about rushing for five instead of rushing for six and rushing for four?

Obviously, this is because the Cavaliers' next game is at home against the Pistons, which is now fifth in the Eastern Conference.

If the Cavaliers play the Pacers in the next game, Zhan will definitely call out the slogan of three.

Well, as long as you can beat third or fifth, don't you have the strength to become third or fifth?

I have to say that Xiao Zhan's current thinking is still very simple.

On December 11, 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers played against the Detroit Pistons, now fifth in the Eastern Conference, at the Gund Arena at home.

Because of the previous controversy between the Cavaliers and the Pistons about Rasheed Wallace, this game is quite concerned.

During the pre-match interview, many reporters asked Chen Xiao about the deal for Rashid Wallace.

What can be said about this?

Rasheed Wallace is now a Pistons player.

After the alliance intervened, no illegal operations were found.

The Pistons and Larry Brown were reasonably compliant and robbed Rasheed Wallace from the Trail Blazers to the Pistons.

The best you can say is that the general manager of the Eagles is incompetent and mentally ill.

Other than that, you can't say anything.

Therefore, facing these American reporters' apparently provocative behavior, Chen Xiao answered very calmly.

"Rashid is now a Pistons player, and Jamal is a Cleveland player. You should ask more about Jamal."

Speaking of, after the game with the Raptors, Crawford has been frantically touted by the local media in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers' Mamba, Chen Xiao and James' Montgomery, the commander of the Cleveland tank regiment, won the game anyway, so you can't blow it too much.

In this game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, the topic is not just about Rasheed Wallace.

There is also a bigger topic, and the reason why this game is broadcast nationwide, that is, the current head coach of the Cavaliers, Carlisle, is the former head coach of the Pistons.

Carlisle led the Pistons to the Eastern Conference finals last season and was fired. To be fair, most of the media and experts felt that the Pistons and Joe Dumas were not very authentic.

Joe Dumas said that the Pistons did not make the finals, so they would fire Carlisle, but after firing Carlisle, you guys didn't see how strong they were?

The record is worse than last season.

The Pistons made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season.

Looking at your fifth appearance in the Eastern Conference this season, I am afraid that even the Eastern Conference Finals will be difficult.

So, after all, I still think that Carlisle is not big enough. If Larry Brown wants to be the head coach of the Pistons, you just find a reason to get rid of Carlisle, the wife of chaos, and marry the goddess Larry Brown.

Don't say it, that's it.

Carlisle did a good job in the Pistons, and it was Larry Brown who really liked the Pistons, and Joe Dumars randomly found a reason to open Carlisle.

Therefore, the piston that Carlisle brought out was really picked by Larry Brown.

Although you have had a good time with the Cavaliers this season, if you say that Carlisle is not angry about Larry Brown picking peaches, it is definitely impossible.

"Xiao Chen, I feel that if we lose this game, Rick will let us practice crazy for a week!"

"I think, at least one month."

Before the game, Chen Xiao smiled and joked with Xiao Zhan.

Players of the two teams played. During the warm-up, most of the Pistons players went to the Cavaliers to hug Carlisle in order to show their gratitude and respect to Carlisle.

After all, this piston was built by Carlisle in the final analysis.

Even Hamilton, who was'traded' by Carlisle countless times in the playoffs last season, came to thank Carlisle.

This makes the game look warm before it starts.

However, after the start of the game, that was not the case at all.

The starting players of the Cavaliers at home in this game are Tyson Chandler, Darius Miles, Chen Xiao, Crawford and Xiao Zhan.

For the Pistons in the away game, the starters of this game are center Ben Wallace, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Prince, shooting guard Hamilton, and point guard Billups.

By the way, this game was the first game that Rasheed Wallace played on behalf of the Pistons.

Rasheed Wallace was also very confused about being traded to the Pistons after playing a game on behalf of the Eagles.

After he was traded to the Eagles, he actually did a good job with the Eagles. A rebuilding team that traded his boss. With his qualifications and strength, isn't he a natural boss in the Eagles?

And he is the only boss.

Therefore, Rashid Wallace is really ready to put all his future career in Atlanta.

In the only game played for Atlanta, Rasheed Wallace played quite hard.

The game was 8 of 24 and scored 20 points. The shooting percentage is very low, but you can't just look at efficiency, you also need to look at hard work.

In this game, Rashid not only shot 24 times, but also 5 blocks!

It can be said that whether it is offense or defense, Rashid Wallace is going all out.

If Rasheed Wallace knew that he was just walking around the eagle, how could he fight like that?

Well, I just met the Hawks teammates, just ready to adapt to the atmosphere of the Hawks.

After playing a game, he was notified that he was traded.

Do you know how Rasheed Wallace feels?

I don't know it doesn't matter. You can make a slight analogy. Just like in a football game, a player who has just been replaced is running desperately on the pitch, and is replaced after running.

Rasheed Wallace is a hot-tempered player with a high quotient.

From the Trail Blazers to the Hawks, he seamlessly connected the team.

But no matter how high the quotient is, a player is not a machine.

Therefore, in this game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, the Cavaliers' morale took the initiative in the game as soon as they came up.

Any Cavaliers players who wince know that this game must go all out.

Who dare not go all out in this game, then wait for the head coach Carlisle's notebook.

Carlisle is not a 'good person' regardless of his gentle appearance.

Ahem, not meant to black Carlisle.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers relied on Carlisle's knowledge of the Pistons and stronger morale to lead the Pistons by 3 points at home 26-23.

In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers fans and the Chinese fans in front of the TV were all ready to save their hearts. However, in this game, Xiao Zhan felt quite good in the second quarter.

Leading the rotation of the Cavaliers, Xiao Zhan does not say that he has the advantage, at least not too much behind. After Chen Xiao played, the Cavaliers and the Pistons played 23 to 23 throughout the second quarter, which is considered a tie.

In the third quarter, the morale bonus of the Cavaliers players returned after the training of Carlisle during the intermission. Although many experts can see that the overall strength of the Pistons is obviously higher than that of the Cavaliers, the entire third quarter, the two teams The score was 25 to 25, and the two teams were still tied.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers led 74 to 71 by three points at home, still very anxious.

The fourth quarter was also the most tragic one of the two teams in this game.

Larry Brown's performance with the Pistons is not very good this season. If you lose in this contest with the Pistons' predecessor, you can imagine how much pressure will be on him.

In addition, after three quarters of the game, the Pistons are only behind by 3 points.

In the fourth quarter, under the command of Larry Brown, the Pistons' defense seemed crazy.

Seeing Larry Brown like this, how could Carlisle, who also had to prove himself in this game, admit it?

Isn't it just playing defense?

It seems that only you can do the same!

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers also sent a lineup of Diop, Tyson Chandler, Darius Miles and Chen Xiao, James.

The Cavaliers' defensive lineup has been tested by the Nets.

Before Rashid Wallace's offense was fully integrated into the team, Larry Brown wanted to win on defense, but it was not so easy.

Facing the Cavaliers, a defensive lineup with a team of more than 2 meters and a per capita defense, the Pistons' offense in the fourth quarter can be described as constipation.

Throughout the game, the Pistons' shooting percentage was 5 for 19, and the shooting percentage was less than 30%.

Of course, the Cavaliers are similar here.

This is a lineup that has absolutely no offensive ability except for Chen Xiao and James.

The lineup of Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan playing the Pistons is also very difficult.

So in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' offense was also miserable, and the 4-for-16 shooting rate in the entire quarter was no better than the Pistons.

In the end, throughout the fourth quarter, the Pistons and the Cavaliers fought 15-15, and the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 89-86 at home.

Cavaliers and Pistons, what kind of game is this?

This is a game where after the end, even if the game is won, no one on the Cavaliers will have that kind of joy and excitement on their faces.

This game is almost like the Cavaliers and the Pistons, the two teams holding hammers and desperately hammering their opponents.

It doesn't depend on how strong you are, or how superb your tactics are. It's all about how hard your life is.

It's too uncomfortable to play this kind of game.

In this game, Xiao Zhan was originally going to drive a tank.

But in this game against the Pistons, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan did not even drive a tank during the whole process.

The front is full of trenches!

In this game, every point of the two teams was grounded out of flesh and blood like a battle.

Especially the fourth quarter.

That game is simply a Verdun meat grinder.

Of course, the Cavaliers played uncomfortable in this game, and the opposing Pistons played equally uncomfortable.

Especially the head coach of the Pistons Larry Brown, at the end of the game, the look on his face was bleeding.

This season, he and Carlisle will not only face each other once.

But for public opinion, the first time is important.

The latter contest is actually not that important.

In this super defensive battle, Chen Xiao made 11 of 16, made 1 of 3 three-pointers, and made 6 of 8 free throws. In this campaign, he scored a game-high 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

In this game, Chen Xiao's offensive efficiency was exceptionally high.

That's because although this match and his matchup against Prince are very difficult, Chen Xiao has a great advantage in strength. The effect of hitting Prince with Joe's back is good, and the game feels good. It's ok, just hit this data.

Of course, if it wasn't for the Pistons' double-teaming, he could have scored more points.

However, because of Prince's long hands and long feet defending well, his three-pointers in this game are very limited.

I have to say that in this meat grinder-like game, the middle distance is still the most reliable.

If it weren't for the Cavaliers who didn't have a player who could open up the space, Chen Xiao would give priority to mid-range shots if he gave a three-pointer to the level potential card of 95.

In addition to Chen Xiao, the Cavaliers scored the most points in this game. Xiao Zhan scored 8 of 21, 1 of 3 three points, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored the second highest score of 23 points and 9 rebounds. 9 assists.

The performance is also quite good, don't look at Xiao Zhan's shooting rate in this game is less than 40%, this game, with this shooting rate, Xiao Zhan already feels good.

If it doesn't feel good, it's Xiao Zhan's style of play and shooting ability. If he can only drive the tank in this game and face the crazy trench in front, Xiao Zhan will definitely have a huge car accident in this game.

In this crucial game, Xiao Zhan was able to play at a super level.

Not to mention, Xiao Zhan always has a more magical performance in key battles.

Apart from Chen Xiao and James scoring 20, the Cavaliers played against the Pistons and did not score in double figures.

In addition to Chen Xiao and James, Crawford scored the most, 3 of 12 and 9 points.

On the opposite side of the Pistons, Hamilton had the highest score, 6 of 12 and 19 points.

Hamilton was still the Hamilton Carlisle was familiar with.

But how difficult the game is, anyway, about 50% of the field goal percentage is about 20 points.

You want me to make more shots and score more points. I'm sorry, I don't know what the heart of steel is.

I'm just like this, what do you want

In addition to Hamilton, Billups scored 5, 11 points in 14, Prince scored 5, 14 points in 13, Ben Wallace scored 3, 10 points in 7, and Rashid Wallace scored 5, 16 points in 13.

All the Pistons' starting five scored in double figures.

But the hit rate is not too high.

With Xiao Zhan's super-level performance and Chen Xiao's efficient performance, the Cavaliers defeated the Detroit Pistons, fifth in the Eastern Conference, at home.

In the strong Eastern Conference this season, the Cavaliers' record has also become 12 wins and 10 losses, the winning percentage has improved, but the ranking is still ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.

On the same day, the Raptors also won, beating the New York Knicks away.

Therefore, the two teams are still in a very intense entanglement.

As for who is eighth in this year's playoffs in the East, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Raptors, or the Hornets, 76ers, and Pistons in front, who will fall behind, nothing is known.

However, for Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan.

Before the All-Star Game, it is important to maintain the top eight position in the Eastern Conference.

Well, it's mainly for Xiao Zhan.

Chen Xiao does not need to rely on record to make the All-Star start.

But Xiao Zhan can't.

Xiao Zhan is still not sure how many votes he can get in China, and he is still not sure whether the tickets from China can carry him into the All-Star start.

On the US side, although he is the chosen son of heaven, he can't have a bad record if he wants to get wider support.

Even if you can't make a starter or come in from the bench, you still need a record!

Xiao Zhan thinks that his data should be enough now.

Just bad record.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan has been so desperate in the game recently.

In this game against the Pistons, if Xiao Zhan didn't work hard, he wouldn't be able to score 23 points if he felt good.

"Xiao Chen, although we won this game, I think the potential of this Piston is very, very big!"

Before the game, he was still clamoring about Xiao Zhan, who was sitting around and looking for five, and Xiao Zhan, who was dying before the game. After the game was played against the Pistons, he obviously won, but he was shocked.

This shows what?

This shows that although Xiao Zhan's personality is like floating, his IQ and ball quotient are very high.

The Pistons did not try their best to play against the Cavaliers.

This is not that their players have reservations, but their offensive and defensive core, Rasheed Wallace has not yet integrated into the Pistons.

Crawford is also a new player, but the importance of Crawford in the Cavaliers is not the same as that of Rasheed Wallace in the Pistons.

"LeBron, Chen, do you know what I said to Joe Dumars after losing to the Nets when I was the head coach of the Pistons last season?"

"I said, as long as you can get me Rasheed Wallace, I promise to lead the Pistons to the Finals and defeat the Lakers to win the championship."

"Rashid Wallace is the Pistons I built, the final championship puzzle."

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan were stunned.

It turned out that we defeated a championship-level team in this game?

And in Carlisle's view, is it a super championship-level team that can beat the OK Lakers?

Well, although they hadn't gotten well when we defeated them, it was enough to make Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan feel incredible.

The premise is that Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan need to believe Carlisle's statement.

To be reasonable, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan are trying hard to believe Carlisle's statement.

But Carlisle's statement is too imaginary.

This is only a civilian piston, can beat the OK Lakers?

"Xiao Chen, do you believe it?"

"I do not believe."

Well, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not.

If what Carlisle said is true, then the Eastern Conference this season will be terrifying.

The F7 Nets, MD Magic, is a recognized championship team.

Plus a piston, this...

Is this east still a place for people to stay?

I wanted to use the steel torrent of the Cleveland tank regiment to kill the piston, but was stuck in the trenches of the piston.

Although the Cavaliers won the game in the end, it also made Xiao Zhan's floating Cavaliers players dare not underestimate the heroes of the world.

On December 13, 2003, the Cleveland Cavaliers played at home against the Houston Mosaic, which is now 13-10 in the West.

The Houston Mosaic team has a very good record this season.

Exceeded many people's expectations.

In addition to the overall strength of the West has become a lot weaker, the most important thing is that this summer, a very tragic tragedy occurred in Houston.

On June 30 of this year, Houston, Rockets guard Jie Williams took his Duke student brother Redick out for a drive on his heavy motorcycle.

On that night, Williams drove Redick on the heavy motorcycle and was so happy.

However, just when the two young men were happy, the locomotive unexpectedly lost control and directly hit the telephone pole on the roadside, and Williams and Redick were thrown away at a distance.

In the end, Redick landed first, and Williams was lucky enough to fall to Redick's body. As a result, Redick was seriously injured, Jie Williams was scratched, and was also thrown out by the heavy motorcycle fragments. But the Celtics vice president of operations Morey, who had just come to Houston to discuss the Francis deal with Rockets general manager Dawson, had a direct headshot.

Although NBA players often have various bizarre incidents, this fact is too bizarre.

So after it happened, the entire U.S. network was frantically discussed.

Although this tragedy was cruel, many netizens in the United States laughed very 'unkind'.

After all, this matter is indeed bizarre and incredible to make people want to laugh.

And since this bizarre to incredible thing happened, Rockets potential guard Jie Williams, a locomotive enthusiast, never dared to ride a locomotive anymore.

And after taking the Celtics vice president of operations Morey and his younger brother Redick to sacrifice to the world, this season's Jie Williams has a taste of boundless magic.

Well, Redick was seriously injured on the spot and died two days after being sent to the hospital.

This incident is indeed a big blow to Jie Williams.

However, I have to say that Jie Williams is still a very responsible person.

Although locomotive companies and insurance companies lost a lot of money.

But Jie Williams still said in an interview with American media.

"Although this is not my responsibility, this matter is indeed due to me. I will take my responsibility. Darrell's wife and daughter, if they want, I will take care of them for the rest of my life. Now, I will work hard. Be a good husband and a good father."

Good guy, a famous NBA romantic young man, a prodigal son, actually wants to be a good father and husband like Wade.

And Jie Williams is not just talking about it.

Is really in action.

And it really took three months to touch the wife and daughter of the vice president of the Celtics and accept his marriage proposal.

From a practical point of view, that woman is less than 30 and her daughter is just a few years old. Jie Williams is a talented NBA player and is indeed a good source of support.

After getting married, Jie Williams, in the game, in the training, is no longer so willful, and began to turn back the prodigal son.

Williams' talent is still very good. The only difference is hard work and seriousness. When he is serious and does not waste his talent, he can surprise the world.

In fact, this season, the whole world is really surprised.

In the Mosaic team this season, Williams played a very good state, the average data has also skyrocketed to an average of 17+7, which means that he has to compete with Rogo for the most improved player this season.

And the mosaic double guns of him and Francis are also a bit of shaking the west now.

When his personality becomes better, the coexistence problem between him and Francis can be solved slowly.

Therefore, the strength of Mosaic this season is okay.

In this game against Mosaic, the Cavaliers are still very serious.

The Rockets' combination of two small guards is really not what the Cavaliers are good at.

Neither Chen Xiao nor James is very comfortable with the small guard.

I have to say that the Cavaliers are right to take this game seriously.

The mosaic of this game really gave the Cavaliers a lot of trouble.

In the end, the Cavaliers relied on Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll singles Francis in the fourth quarter, knocking Francis off the field, and finally won a difficult home victory 111 to 105.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 21, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 31 points and 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Xiao Zhan was 7 of 19, 17 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

After Crawford's poor performance with the Pistons in the last game, this game was 9 of 18, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 25 points.

The Cavaliers scored 73 points in the game with three shots.

On the opposite side of the mosaic double gun, Francis 24 points, Jie Williams 28 points, the two scored 52 points together, this game created a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers.

Because of the tragic experience of Jie Williams, after the game, Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers players went to Jie Williams to greet him.

As for the relationship between Chen Xiao and Jie Williams before, in the face of such a tragic matter, the small disputes in the past are really not important.

What's more, Chen Xiao can see this time that Jie Williams is really mature.

"Jay, sorrow, everything will pass."

"Thank you, Chen, I am very happy now."

Chen Xiao and Jie Williams, two former enemies, smiled at this time.

And Dalius Miles, who was next to him, followed Jie Williams's happy eyes and looked to the sidelines.

A charming SF that is very big in every respect is looking at Jie Williams affectionately.

Seeing this woman staring at Jie Williams~www.mtlnovel.com~Little SP Myers is envious!

No wonder you say happy!

This is simply the ultimate combat weapon!

"Dalius, are you okay?"

"Locomotive, from now on, I also want to learn to start a car!"

"Don't stop me from anyone!"

Chen Xiao was a little dumbfounded, where was my little wolf king being stimulated?
