NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 178 Tough or Soft
"Look at Bosh of the Heat. He was out of breath during the continuous confrontation with Chen Xiao. He may need to rest. It happens that coach Spoelstra can make a decision even though the number of fouls is less than 2." Nai It was half teasing and half truthful, and said with a smile.

In the last round, Chen Xiao, who successfully caught the ball in the low post, pushed Bosh away with consecutive back shots. Bosh was thrown on the side of the penalty area like a broken doll, allowing Chen Xiao to turn around and complete a two-handed dunk.

"Beep" the famous NBA female referee Lauren Holcamp, who stood at the bottom line and was at the best position to watch the game, blew her whistle. Bosh finally reached out and gave Chen Xiao an extra free throw opportunity.

This time the muscular confrontation was strong, and the powerful back hit followed by heavy dunks with both hands ignited the enthusiasm of the Bobcats fans. The fans cheered and cheered continuously, and the citizens of downtown Charlotte could hear the Spectrum center ball across a street. Enthusiastic shouts from the hall.

However, the Bobcats' home games are like this, with enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and the Charlotte people have been used to this since the Hornets.

"Chris, you may only be able to rest for 2 to 3 minutes, and the team behind will need you." Coach Spoel whispered, holding Bosh's arm after he was off the court.

"Understood, huh, I need to catch my breath, and I'll get ready to play right away." Bosh, who was sweating and panting, sat down on his seat, took the towels and water handed by the staff, His eyes were still fixed on the highest mountain on the field.

At this time, halfway through the second quarter of the game between the Bobcats and the Heat, the score on the court was still inextricably tied. The Bobcats trailed the Heat by 36 points at 39:3.

And in this half of the quarter, the Heat are all on the field, from Cole and Wade on the outside to James and Bosh have contributed. Sessions, who was in a hot state in the first quarter, lost his layup at the beginning of the second quarter. Sessions regained his sense and succeeded in consecutive layups.

This is also the wonderful experience that when Chen Xiao put the Heat in the penalty area, Sessions directly experienced the wonderful experience that the inside defender was two feet away but didn't dare to come up to reach out. Compared with letting Sessions make a one-on-one layup, Bosh The mission is still to follow Chen Xiao closely, and it is not his job to cooperate with the protective frame.

As for whether his job was done well, although the number of shots in one and a half quarters was not too many, the 16 points in the score column of Chen Xiao seemed to indicate that Bosh's work was not good enough.

Chen Xiao walked to the free throw line. At this time, the Heat replaced Bosh with James Jones. It seemed that Haslem was playing center and Jones was used to enhance shooting.

"Is Spoelstra deciding to use three-pointers to destroy the Bobcats? Use offense to fill the loopholes in defense. But this may be the only thing they can do. Without Bosh, their inside line is almost defenseless against Chen Xiao. The only way to do it is to use the score to buy space for the defense to lose points," Barkley commented.

"Charles, maybe the tough Haslem can play a certain role. His defensive aggressiveness and battle-tested defensive awareness may be able to create some obstacles for Chen Xiao." Kenny Smith responded to Barkley solemnly. .

But no matter what, Haslem is also an inside player who is famous for his defense, rebounding and hard work. Heat fans can only stare at the screen, hoping that their Kazakhstan team will harden up and cause some trouble for Chen Xiao.

"Shuh..." Chen Xiao lived up to Bosh's gift before leaving the court, and successfully hit the extra penalty.

"At least there are 6 fouls on Haslem that can be used, as long as he can prevent Chen Xiao from scoring happily, then his work will be done." The host Ernie looked at Chen Xiao. He made a speech during the penalty kick.

Heat ball right.

Now that Bosh is off the field, Chen Xiao can focus on the inside defense, follow Haslem for a while, and focus on the frame guard in front of the basket.

Chalmers brought the ball over and gave it to Wade on the left wing.

At this time, James was already leaning on Middleton on the left waist to take a position.

Chen Xiao followed Haslem from the free throw line and aimed down at James and Middleton.

I saw that James, who got the ball with his back, immediately turned into a high face-up posture, took a tentative step towards the bottom line, and immediately rushed towards the upper line. Toss like a hook and throw the ball toward the basket.

Originally thought that James was going to rush to the basket, but he didn't expect to solve it with a small hook in the middle of the paint.After James started, Chen Xiao, who left Haslem and came to the basket to garrison this round, couldn't imitate his two teammates and block the shot.

The basketball dangled in the rim or fell into the rim, and James scored two points.

Seeing that James used the hook to complete the offense, Ernie commented: "LeBron completed this finish with a hook after a jump. It is said that after learning the dream footsteps after learning his master's dream last year, James has been practicing hard since the summer of this season. Hook."

"I know this, the magician said that LeBron wanted to learn the small hook from him, but the time conflict didn't make it. But now the opportunity has come, look where it is, Charlotte, James can definitely learn from the current league Chen Xiao, the best hook master, ask for advice." Barkley took up the topic with a smile on his face.

When the commentator was joking, the Bobcats, who had converted the ball here, also brought the ball to the left wing.

Chen Xiao didn't choose to sit straight in the low post, but walked towards the basket along the sideline of the paint with his hands raised.

Sensing Chen Xiao's intentions, Haslem used both hands and feet. While putting his hands on Chen Xiao's waist, he tried to push Chen Xiao out of the inside line. At the same time, he pinned his thighs on Chen Xiao's knees and the moving route of his lower limbs. It made Chen Xiao uncomfortable and unable to smoothly enter the intended attack position.

Under the influence of Haslem who kept making small moves, Chen Xiao, who was stepping on the sideline of the paint area, glanced at Haslem dissatisfied.

"Soft, if you can't even stand this, you won't be able to play in this league, go home and cry and go to your mother." Continue to exert strength with his hands and feet, Haslem's big mouth was spitting, and his face Still maintaining a beating expression.

Chen Xiao, who was originally dissatisfied, couldn't help laughing out loud, and gave Haslem a good laugh. Anyway, he has been in the league for a long time. It seems that he hasn't met anyone saying that he is soft.

Originally, he planned to enter the basket to find a chance to play high and high, but Chen Xiao changed his mind, stopped in the low position, pushed Haslem's shoulder and elbow away from him, kicked the floor with his right foot, turned around and bent his hip, and put the Haslem suddenly ran behind him.

When Chen Xiao turned around and bumped his hips and back with inertia, Haslem shut his mouth and focused on defending.

"Ball!" Turning around, Chen Xiao yelled to Walker who was taking the ball from the outside.

As soon as the person arrived and the ball arrived, an orange basketball appeared in Chen Xiao's outstretched right hand.

"Toughman, what method do you want me to use to deal with you?" Chen Xiao tilted his head to observe the situation, and asked about the needs of the tough guy behind him by the way.

However, Chen Xiao's hospice care after asking about the needs did not make Haslem feel grateful, but it was the casual expression and tone that made the Heat feel uneasy.

Seeing that the ball was trying to be exposed, Haslem remained motionless, stared at the hollow, turned his body sideways, and slammed his left hand on the ball held by Chen Xiao's right hand.

But Chen Xiao, who was observing the situation, wasn't distracted, and with Chen Xiao's body size that was more than a lap larger than Haslem's, he had plenty of time to react.

Grabbing the ball with his right hand and pulling it back, he turned around and released the ball. In an instant, the two people who were close together in the low position went their separate ways.

There was only an unguarded basket in front of Chen Xiao. He tiptoed lightly and put the basket with both hands to complete the finish.

"Easy, Man." Chen Xiao, who scored easily, turned to face his own backcourt. Before starting, he greeted Haslem who gave way to his breakthrough route.

At this time, Wade, who also returned to the basket, saw that Haslem's face was red and black. Wade, who was afraid that Haslem would impulsively punish him, quickly reminded, "If it is not easy to defend, we can foul. Udonis."

"Mine, I shouldn't have hit the ball, I'll stand up to him, Bro." After a self-reflection, Haslem regained his confidence while serving the ball after learning his lesson.

However, in the next round, Wade suddenly attacked Henderson and strode into the basket. At this time, Chen Xiao, who was leaning on the paint area, decisively dropped his arm and went to the basket to defend. After the start, Wade strode into the basket. Next, facing the basket under the gate, Wade jumped out of the baseline, twisted his body and distributed the ball to Haslem in the high position.

Standing under the basket with his arms raised, Chen Xiao looked in the direction of Wade's pass. Haslem, who was originally at the waist, took a step up and received Wade at a position about 15 or 6 feet away from the basket. German pass.

Seeing that no one was around to help defend, Haslem raised the ball over his head and aimed at the basket for a shot.

"Bang" Chen Xiao under the basket took advantage of the situation to protect the rebound.

Chen Xiao, who grabbed the rebound, closed the ball, avoiding Wade who took out a hand on the way back to the defense, grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it in the direction of Haslem, who missed the shot at this time, and thanked the Harbin team for sending it. on the defensive rebound.

Shanmao attacked and hanged himself at Chen Xiao's position.

Chen Xiao received the ball in a low position, and Haslem, the defender behind him, bent his knees and elbowed his elbows in a full defensive posture, but Chen Xiao, who just got the ball, was facing the Heat's help defense.

Wade, who was originally following Henderson at the free throw line, saw Chen Xiao drop down to catch the ball, so he rushed over when Chen Xiao was on his unsteady footing.

One was pushing from the back, the other was pulling from the side. Chen Xiao was holding the ball with both hands. I can't hold it anymore.

"Beep" was just in time for Chen Xiao's sideline referee to blow his whistle.

Chen Xiao, who kept holding the ball high all the time, would stand firmly against the lower position normally, but the push-up and pull-up of these two people almost moved. Could this defensive action not be fouled?Referee No. 33, who had blown the Lakers Bobcats game before, was pretty reliable.

This time there was no free throw whistle, and it couldn't be stopped.

In the next two and a half minutes, whenever Chen Xiao can get the ball smoothly, the Heat defenders behind and beside Chen Xiao will use both hands and feet. Either the referee can't stand it and blows his whistle to signal a foul, or Chen Xiao catches the ball The position can be terminated, and the Heat's defender can only pull Chen Xiao down with an obvious foul and send it to the free throw line.

"Why don't you let Haslem defend me one more time?" Seeing that the Heat's defensive foul tactics were so resolute, Chen Xiao was a little helpless. He turned around and scored the first ball, and he was ready to face the Toughman head-on. He went into the basket, but now that the Heat are playing like this, they don't even have a chance to hit the ball.

Wade, who was fouled this time, raised his cheeks and glanced at Chen Xiao, as if to say, do you think we are stupid.

The other players of the Heat watched Chen Xiao easily pass Haslem to complete the finish with the first ball, and immediately strengthened his determination to implement Spoelstra's anti-foul strategy.

A big guy who is about 20 centimeters taller can pass the smaller guy in this way, so if he hits back again and uses the Skyhook that Chen Xiao is best at, is it still worth it?

In particular, Chen Xiao's position to catch the ball is so deep, the threat is too great, as if he will raise his hand to hook the ball the moment he gets the ball.

面对波什的领防，在波什下场前已经9中6，罚球5中4得到16分的陈逍让热火队稍一尝试就放弃了让哈斯勒姆单防陈逍的念头。

On the scene, the Heat had no choice but to send Chen Xiao to the free throw line, but until Bosh played again, the Heat still took the lead with 48:46.

The reason is, of course, that the Bobcats have an inside pillar that the Heat can hardly match, but the superstars listed on the Heat's outside line are not a joke.

In more than 2 minutes, Wade, who turned on the Flash mode, scored 6 points in a row. First, he received a pass from Chalmers and tricked Henderson into leaning upwards while using his waist and abdomen to control the air. Body posture strong throw shot.

"Beep" and "Shua" made a successful foul and made a successful shot.

Henderson has no temper due to this foul. Wade's body control ability has been perfected. He jumps up to watch the ball enter the basket, and can only shake his head when it lands. Watching Wade walk to the free throw line to add a penalty hit.

In addition to Henderson, Chen Xiao also paid for a foul on Wade. Before Wade sent James the ball, this time it was James who took the ball from the outside. With a quick pass, Wade catches the ball and lifts it up with one step, soaring into the air, grabbing the ball with one hand with his right hand and raising it high.

And Chen Xiao, who immediately dropped Haslem, raised his hands high under the basket and jumped up to intercept.

Seeing the ball that is about to decide the winner, Wade fans and James fans will unconsciously think of Wade's majestic dunk. The target of the dunk is James' old teammate, actor Valle Joe.

Facing Wade who was attacking like lightning, Chen Xiao didn't dare to stand still and wait for the dunk. He raised his hands high to block the basket, then bent his knees and jumped up. Wade hit Chen Xiao in front of the basket like a shell in the air. On the last fortress, even though his body moved back unconsciously due to the impact, Chen Xiao's hands, which served as the last door of the basket, did not move away easily.

The two collided in the air, and there was a stalemate for a moment. Wade, who was exhausted, failed to let the basketball go into the basket, but he still won the referee's whistle.

Wade, who had completely thrown himself out in the air, landed unbalanced, and Chen Xiao, who had a limited distance from the ground, landed quite stably despite being hit.

Wade, who staggered and stood firmly on the ground, was moved when he saw Chen Xiao's helping hand. He stretched out his hand and thanked him, "Thanks, Bro."

"Old guy, this is my territory. If you don't want to fall too badly, get out of here." Chen Xiao said fiercely. Although he paid for the foul, Chen Xiao and Wade shook hands and said that this is In my place, Chen Xiao and the audience Wade unconsciously smiled.

After all, such a style of play that is not afraid of injuries and throws itself out deserves the respect of every defender.

"This is our big guy in Charlotte, tough, friendly, and we all love him." The on-site commentator Knight shouted, and Chen Xiao, who was bending over and touching his knees on the sideline of the paint area, felt a little numb.

Walking to the free throw line, Wade made one of two free throws for the attempted dunk.

This side scored 4 points by catching the ball. The next ball Wade called for a pick-and-roll and cooperated with James in a pick-and-roll. Janeway picked and rolled and replaced Middleton. Middleton was caught off guard for a while and blocked the foul.

The number of fouls just reached 5 times, and Wade went to the free throw line again, and he stepped on it 2 times in 3 minutes.

Some frustrated Middleton muttered that he could be punished, dreaming back to 06.

Chen Xiao, who heard Middleton muttering, couldn't help trembling. The fouls that Wade got in these few balls just now were also won by himself. There is no problem. Take care, the Bobcats can't stand up to so many free throws, even Chen Xiao can't take them.

Fortunately, after these 2 minutes passed, the scene that Chen Xiao was worried about did not happen. James began to take over the ball and control the Heat's offense.

Bosh re-entered the game, but Haslem was not immediately replaced, but returned to the position of power forward.

During the time Bosh was off the court, the Heat had committed 3 fouls on Chen Xiao, 2 from Haslem, and 1 from Wade. The Heat returned to the bench.

"Chris, have you rested enough?" Seeing the return of the Dragon King, Chen Xiao sent greetings in due course.

Chris called too much, and there were two Chriss on the field.

It's a pity that the Dragon King was so arrogant that he didn't appreciate Chen Xiao's kindness. He just looked at Chen Xiao with complicated eyes, sniffled his nose, and let out a "NO" from his nasal cavity, and then remained silent.

There's nothing wrong with it, Chen Xiao can understand Bosh's silence towards him, after all, if anyone can hit him back at will, then Chen Xiao doesn't want to pay attention to that person.

However, at present, there seems to be no inside behemoth or back master who can easily hit Chen Xiao in the league.

At the end of the half, the Bobcats, who were originally behind, tied the score at the end of the second quarter. The two teams temporarily shook hands at 54 and returned to the locker room for intermission.
