Chapter 229 XX Killer

Facing the Heat's defensively poor inside line in this scene, Chen Xiao, who took more than 20 shots based on his teammates' "assists" with the ball, still maintained his statistical performance routine against the Heat.

42分16篮板5次盖帽1次抢断，陈逍用生涯首次“40+15+5帽”帮助山猫横扫近几个赛季的最大苦主之一。

"Wonderful game, sweeping the defending champion with a record-breaking game, Chen, tell me what you think of this victory." At home, after the game, Chen Xiao, who was the best in the game, was on the court Interviewed by ESPN reporters.

"1, 2, 3, 4." Chen Xiao paused and reported from 1 to 4: "Four consecutive victories prove that we are enough to compete with the defending champion. In the East, we are already a force that cannot be ignored. Now you can put your stereotype of the Charlotte Bobcats out of your mind and we are on the right, winning path."

From 7 wins and 59 losses, to a solid playoff spot, a solid top half, sweeping the defending champion and top team, it was only one off-season and one draft away.

Obviously, the Charlotte Bobcats at this moment are a force that everyone in the East needs to pay attention to.

"Right, the Heat, Pacers, Knicks, etc., these strong teams in the Eastern Conference have all suffered losses from the Bobcats." The reporter echoed.

"However, there are many opinions that the Heat lost because of the uneven lineup. With their recent state, the Heat with only Chris Bosh and the Bobcats with almost all the main players are also very anxious. If it comes to the playoffs, the Heat and Bobcats will If we meet at the end, the Heat will avenge their defeat and return their regular season defeat." The reporter continued to connect the two sides in this game.

Such remarks have been made one after another in the outside world. Maybe James, who can fly and dunk, is allowed to rest, and the decision to leave only Bosh to play with the remaining lineup is precisely to achieve this intention.

Win, earn blood, and most of the substitutes can beat you, which means that the current Heat is no longer the Heat that lost consecutive games before. After the winning streak, the whole team has worked hard, and now it is time to really exert their strength to deal with you, a rookie who was once expensive. New Army, isn’t that easy?
If you lose, it’s not a loss. You’ll get almost the entire Big Three, James, the Flash, and the key player, Ray. A rough calculation gives you almost 60 points. Isn’t this a normal loss?
And now the result is a loss of 6 points. According to some fans, 60:6. When the playoffs come, the main force will take action, let alone defeat, it will not be a big problem, just take care of it!
Faced with the reporter's 'retelling', Chen Xiao did not change his expression, but smiled: "IF, it's not like that. I'm looking forward to a battle with the defending champions of the whole lineup, but if I remember wrongly, we also won three games." Giants, including Ray Allen's Heat.

I hope we can meet the defending champion again in the playoffs. Although I want to accept the challenge, the Knicks have Tyson and the Pacers have Roy Hibbert. The interior they guard will be more challenging and interesting. . "Chen Xiao's words stopped abruptly, and it was self-evident.

"Looking forward to the playoff matchup between the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference. OK, let's turn our attention back to the court. Chen Xiao played for 40 minutes and scored 4+ points for the fourth time this season. He scored 40 points and 42 rebounds. Blocked 16 shots, handing in a beautiful answer of "5+40+15 blocks" for the first time in his career.

In NBA history, only 8 players have performed such a feat in a single game, including Shaq, Hakeem, Dwight, etc., and only 92-93 players have accomplished such a feat in their first season of their careers. Shaquille O'Neal in the season, and David Robinson in the 89-90 season after returning from serving in the Navy.

目前离21岁生日还有将近半年的陈逍也再次刷新专属于内线球员的记录，超越完成时已经将近21岁的沙克·奥尼尔，成为最年轻的‘40+15+5盖帽’球员。”

After Chen Xiao left, the reporter standing on the Bobcat floor had not yet come off work and was still talking to the camera.

"40, 39, 38, 42, these are Chen Xiao's scoring data in the four games against the Miami Heat. He averaged 39.75 points per game. The four games have reached the minimum standard of a series. He has continued to be stable against the Heat. Chen Xiao, who contributed nearly 4 points, is simply terrifying, and this may be the biggest obstacle for the defending champion in his third championship campaign."

Without James, Chen Xiao scored 42. With James, Chen Xiao also scored 40 and 39. Although the effectiveness of James' defense will be reflected in the comparison of scoring efficiency, Chen Xiao can carry the production and only has a slight decrease in efficiency. Worthy of the title of "Heat Killer".

……

"Heat killer?" Hearing Middleton's "anecdote" sharing, Chen Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. Maybe it would be more appropriate to call himself "Bozi killer", ahem, poor Bosh.

"4+ games, 40 games were against the Miami Heat, and didn't we sweep the defending champion? They gave you such a little nickname." Middleton added.

Chen Xiao thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that it was true that Chen Xiao might not be able to recall the games with scores of 38 or 39, but the game that broke the 40 limit was still deeply remembered.

The team saw the power of the Thunder for the first time and was beaten, which was also the beginning of the three-point rain PTSD. In that game, the fledgling Chen Xiao scored 40+ points for the first time in his career. According to outside comments, "The Bobcats lost, but Chen Xiao did not lose." .

Facing the first game with the Heat and the big game after Christmas, 40+20, a huge double-double, shut up the chattering O'Pang in the show. Thinking of 40+20, such neatly arranged and beautiful scoring and rebounding data, the corners of Chen Xiao's mouth rose unconsciously, Wonderful numbers~
44. In the face of hard specials, Chen Xiao showed no mercy, setting a new career scoring high and a landmark game to shut up the Wolf King's bad mouth. 44 points is also Kevin Garnett’s second-highest score in his entire 95-year career from his time in Minnesota in 13 to the Celtics in 17. He has already scored 4 points four times before his rookie season is over. Chen Xiao already has the same number of 40 points as superstar Garnett in his entire career.

The last time was today's 42 points.

"It's boring." Chen Xiao felt bored with a nickname like XX Killer.

Just like labeling Kobe the "Raptors Killer" and labeling Jordan the "Knicks Killer", no one would think that these are nicknames that fit the best players.

……

After defeating the Heat, the Bobcats pushed their win count from 50 to 51 wins. After crossing the 50-win mark, they continued to improve their poor single-season win record in team history.

With 51 wins and 25 losses, the Bobcats are nearly three games ahead of the Knicks and Pacers, who both have 48 wins. At the end of the season with only the last 6 games, the Bobcats have almost locked in the second place in the Eastern Conference, not to mention that they are already far away. Leading the playoff berth.

A well-fed man doesn’t know how hungry he is. A big family like the Heat, which is full of enthusiasm, and an upstart like the Bobcats, don’t understand the struggle of a mid-level team that is fighting for a playoff spot.

The general 8-4 teams are just like that, lacking in traffic, and the media will not pay too much attention, but the Los Angeles Lakers are different. The Galaxy Battleship with a luxurious lineup looks like a crumbling high-rise building. By April, the sprint for the playoff spots , the Lakers with many rich stories have attracted thousands of attention.

Fans are anxious, watching the excitement, and enjoying it endlessly. As colleagues in the league in a broad sense, NBA players are also concerned.

In the locker room, the Bobcats players who were not in a hurry to disperse watched the last quarter of the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers in small groups. Watching the game is also work. Just a few days later, the Bobcats will go to Memphis to compete with the Grizzlies in the muscle jungle. A battle.In the game against the Mavericks, which had a close record two days ago, Kobe was only half a minute away from playing the entire game. He played 47 minutes, contributed a triple-double of 23+11+11 and 4 steals, and led the team to a 20-point victory. Fight your opponent for position.

After this campaign, the Lakers, who had won nearly 40 games, finally reached the eighth place in the Western Conference. Kobe, who fought hard, finally fulfilled his promise when Buss passed away at the end of February - I will lead the Lakers. Entering the playoffs.

There is no need to think about chasing the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Nuggets. They are teams in the upper half of the league with 50+ wins. The steady Warriors and the improving Mosaic are all close to 43 wins. They have already suppressed the Lakers' record. If you want to It is really difficult to jump up again.

The next thing that Kobe and his teammates need to do is to win the position battle with the underdogs and the strong enemies, and face the wolf-like pursuers to keep the hard-earned No. 8.

Yesterday, Mavericks boss Nowitzki performed mediocrely and failed to lead the team to win. The Mavericks lost another game, which also slightly relieved the pressure on the Lakers. Den Hayward defeated the opponent's Jazz with 12 points in a single quarter, evening the victory difference between himself and the Lakers.

Facing the powerful Grizzlies led by the black and white duo, the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant faced tremendous pressure.

In the last 120 seconds of the game, after the two teams fought fiercely for 46 minutes, the Lakers, who entered the final quarter with a 6-point advantage, had been wiped out and fell behind by one point 83:84.

It was less than 85 points, or even less than [-] points. The game was like a meat grinder, which made Chen Xiao and others in the home team locker room of the Spectrum Center Arena sweat.

For the Lakers, this is a key battle to compete for a playoff spot. Similarly, for the Grizzlies, who are striving for the top half, it is also an opportunity to take advantage of teams with similar records such as the Nuggets and Clippers. key match.

Of course, driven by the die-hard Ke Mi Dou, Chen Xiao and others' perspective is still on the side of Kobe and the Lakers.

The desperate Kobe fought his way out and passed the ball to Gasol. Facing his younger brother, Gasol lived up to expectations and hit the shot, giving the Lakers another 1-point advantage.

For more than a minute after that, both teams seemed to have lost their touch and fought hard to get the ball. The Lakers played an offensive round for more than 1 seconds.

"Eh, that's unreasonable." Seeing that Kobe, who had just hit the iron but got an offensive rebound, chose to play in singles again, Chen Xiao turned into the opposite of Weiping Bryant, and he didn't know what Coach Zhang, who might be sitting in the studio at the moment, would say. Kobe shot desperately but stubbornly.

"Little Prince" Prince smiled at the defensive rebound. With less than 17 seconds left, amidst the deafening shouts of "Defense" at Staples Arena, the Grizzlies, who were trailing by 1 point, still had time to complete an attack.

But as the lagging side, it was obvious that they had to consider the situation of missing the shot. Conley chose to take a mid-range shot with 5 seconds left on the clock.

"Bang!" Kobe, who had just hit the iron one after another, made the same sound as the iron. The fans at Staples who made crazy noises were in a completely different mood than just now. Good iron! !

Good Reb! !What also makes the fans ecstatic is that Master Huo, who did not perform well in this game, currently only has 8 points, 9 rebounds, 4 turnovers and 5 fouls, suddenly jumped up and hit the Gasol brother in front of the equally outstretched arms. The backboard was firmly protected.

Under the basket full of people, Randolph did not jump up. The rebound had nothing to do with him. Seeing that the rebound did not fall into his own hands, Randolph found the business and quickly took action, sending Master Huo to a free throw in the shortest possible time. Wire.

"4 out of 2 free throws." The commentator came from the screen. Howard, who had mediocre contributions in this game, only stepped to the free throw line very rarely, and his 5% free throw shooting rate was in line with his basic operation.

With the entire audience watching, Howard still maintained his signature lifted stance.

"Bang" missed the first free throw.

"Shua" made one of two free throws.

Master Huo's stable performance allowed the Lakers to take a 2-point lead to face the Grizzlies' counterattack in the last 4 seconds.

After the timeout, Conley received a pass from the sideline and still chose to take a mid-range shot.

The basketball comes into contact with the hoop and the game time runs out.

The Lakers narrowly defeated the Grizzlies by 2 points at home and cracked this hard nut.

"Huh, good luck." Chen Xiao, who was on the scene, sighed. To put it more exaggeratedly, the last moment of this game was not so much the Lakers defeating their opponents, but rather the Grizzlies gaining the upper hand in the iron fight and using critical moments. 100% iron rate, 4 irons, a narrow win including 6 irons on 4 free throws, less than 6% of the Lakers' iron rate.

Kobe Bryant, who contributed 24 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, scored 2 irons and 3 assist in the last 1 minutes. As the opponent intensified his efforts, he was able to outweigh the merits and demerits. After all, 43 minutes before this game, he led the team to a consecutive victory over the Kings a few days ago. , Mavericks game, Kobe played a total of 95 minutes and 30 seconds, almost playing two full games.

About 36 seconds before the end, the camera zoomed in on Lakers No. 24, gasping for air and already running low on physical strength. In this case, it is understandable that he missed the shot, but perhaps he was paranoid about choosing himself. In addition to taking shots, looking at the connection with Gasol, maybe Kobe can help the team in another way?

Thinking about the Lakers' victory in the last two minutes, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that this Galaxy battleship, which was ups and downs in the rough ocean of the Western Conference, was like the Lakers at the low point in 2-05. If Gasol was not there, there would be no final protection for the rebounds. Master Huo, the Lakers' victory or defeat depends entirely on Kobe.

This season, Kobe, who is no longer young at the age of 34, worked hard to burn himself, setting the oldest record of scoring 30+ points in a row, and once occupied the scoring title for a long time. People once again saw the short-term return of the "Dragon Slayer", but in the past year After the exhaustion of the season, can Kobe, who faces greater challenges at the end of the season, persist until the last moment of victory?This is a problem.
