NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 113
One good news, one bad news.

The bad news is that, after another back-to-back victory in New Orleans on the south Louisiana coast, the Bobcats players returning to Charlotte have to take a breather, and immediately need to face the last back-to-back Dallas Mavericks that brought the team a 13-point loss.

The good news is that the Mavericks are also back-to-back, and they are back-to-back away games. The Mavericks who just lost to the Knicks in New York went south to Charlotte to fight the Bobcats.

After losing the last match, the Bobcats have lost to the Mavericks 16 times in a row. Since the team was founded in 2004, it has not won an opponent and is the only team in the 29 league teams that has never been defeated.

This time in front of the home crowd at home, Bobcats finally showed his claws, saying that I am also a ferocious carnivore. After hunting stags and bulls, I finally come to eat veal alone.

On November 2012, 11, the capital time, the lone Maverick from Dallas was finally hunted down by the bobcats who set up an ambush after bouncing around in Charlotte for 11 years.

From the beginning of this game, Kemba Walker, who had been mediocre since the first game against the Pacers, seemed to have been hit with chicken blood. He scored 5 points and 4 assists successively, and provided assists to Chen Xiao, Mullens, Heywood, and Miton successively.

After OJ Mayo made a breakthrough error and handed over the ball, the 1-meter-tall Walker sprinted with the ball, jumping up and dunking with one hand while explaining the rap of "he can dunk, he can dunk". "Yes, He can!"

Walker was brave, and Chen Xiao was naturally unambiguous. Facing Kaman, Chen Xiao rarely used a turnaround jumper.The two worked together to help the team start with 17:4.

However, the blood-thick Mavericks slowly recovered. Troy Murphy and Carter Sr. hit 3 consecutive three-pointers to stop the bleeding.

首节结束，山猫7人均有得分，沃克7分5助2断，陈逍5分4板。帮助山猫以25：21领先4分。

In the second quarter, the Bobcats' bench performance was sluggish and they missed consecutive shots.The Mavericks seized the opportunity to play a wave of 8-point offensive to overtake the score.Not only that, there was no performance in the first quarter and OJ Mayo and Carter contributed 2 three-pointers respectively, helping the team score a full 30 points in a single quarter.

The Bobcats replaced the main force, and the situation improved slightly. Chen Xiao gave the 33-year-old old captain 2 consecutive hot pots, and at the same time, he hit 3 consecutive hooks on the offensive end against the small forward-sized old captain in front of him, directly hitting Carlisle. out pause.Walker continued to be strong in the second quarter, combining sudden shots and scoring 10 points again.

At the end of the half, the Bobcats surrendered all their leads and sent back 6 points.Bobcats dual-core Chen Xiao and Walker scored 30 points together, but the players who were active in the first quarter misfired in the second quarter and scored 15 points in the half.

In the second half, it was a home game after all. Under the cheers of the folks and elders, the Bobcats withstood the situation. Two minutes before the end of the game, Troy Murphy was surrounded by Chen Xiao and Miton in front of the basket. After being unable to move, he barely moved to the left Collison hit the ground ball and was empty-handed. Walker, who seemed to have the help of God in this field, struck down.

Walker was transported to the frontcourt and handed over to Henderson at a 45-degree angle. Facing the aging Carter, Henderson made a sudden layup.At this time, the Bobcats evened the difference by more than 10 point through a wave of 2:1 climax.

In less than 35 seconds, the game entered the most exciting moment.

The old Carter with an unconvinced heart, went around Kaman to cover, and faced Chen Xiao and Miton who had saved at the same time, he turned up the arc and hit a three-pointer. 91:89 go-ahead by 2 points.Chen Xiao and Miton, who stretched out their hands to completely cover their eyes, looked at each other and were helplessly convinced.

But there is still time. Chen Xiao, who was unable to hit the basket and grabbed an offensive rebound, succeeded in his second attack and caused a foul by Kaman's thugs. He chased the score to 91 points and had a chance to make a free throw quasi-lore.

Chen Xiao, who stood on the free throw line, has been fighting for 38 minutes and received the referee's pass.

Put the ball by your side, stand upright, hold your mind, and let out a long and slow breath.

Bend down to release the ball, take three consecutive shots, put it away, and lift the ball over your forehead.

Abandoning all the noise, there is only Chen Xiao in the arena at the moment and the basket 4 meters away and 3.05 meters high from the ground.

The index finger and middle finger move the ball together, and the moment the basketball is shot, it seems to return to reality from the vacuum environment.

Noisy, whispered voices flooded into the ears at once.

But none of them can match the breathtaking friction sound of the basketball entering the basket and the net, as well as the thumping sound of bouncing after landing.

With the roar of the audience, the Mavericks still have 2.8 seconds to complete the final blow after the free throw.

Back from the timeout, Nowitzki is not there, Carlisle chooses to believe in the old Carter who is currently 13 of 6. Although OJ Mayo and Darren Collison have better shooting percentages at this time, Carter just hit a key 3 points , and as a superstar, UFO is also willing to take on such an important task.

After crossing positions, Carter ran out of the three-point line and received a pass from Claude at the top of the arc. At the moment of receiving the ball, Carter made a breakthrough to the right. Facing Milton's close defense, Carter broke through to the three-point line and stepped back Jump shot.

The ball is in mid-air and the red light is already on.

Chen Xiao, who was stuck with Kaman at the basket, also gave up his efforts and looked up at the flying basketball.

Difficult shots did not lead to wonderful results, the ball missed the hoop and slid across the left.

Bobcats at home to revenge Mavericks 92:91.

Chen Xiao's last free throw also became a quasi-lore goal, helping the Bobcats to end their 16-game losing streak against the Mavericks, the greatest pain in team history, and finally fill in the gap in the league where there are still undefeated teams.

Chen Xiao, who scored 26 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in the game and completed the quasi-lore, was named the best player in the game.

"Chen, first of all congratulations to you for winning this game, this is your 4th win this season, and now you are on the way to a 3-game winning streak.

Tell me about your last shot, how did it feel to hit a free throw game-winner? The reporter held up the microphone to interview Chen Xiao who was wiping his sweat with a towel.

"It's great, it's so different from a dynamic final shot, and I feel like everything is empty in that moment, just me and the basket in front of me."

"We can see your free throw performance in the NCAA game, when you shoot less than 65% of the free throws, and enter the faster pace of the game against the more intense NBA, your free throw performance has increased significantly. Your Fans must be curious about what kind of training you did during the offseason, can you tell everyone your free throw secrets?"

When Chen Xiao heard this question, he was about to tell the fans in front of the screen something dry. Suddenly, his heart became cold. It wasn't just a glass or a bottle, but two obvious waves.

Shocked by the cold, Chen Xiao knew he was being raided, and turned around to see the "murderers" Walker and Miton had already left.

Chen Xiao, who had no way to arrest the two immediately, could only continue the interview with a smile.
