On the evening of December 2, 2002, the plane from Seattle to New York finally stopped at the airport. Chen Xiao and the Nets players finally ended their nine-day away trip to the West.

After defeating the weak Clippers away on November 28, the Nets defeated the Portland "gangsters" led by Pippen 93-86 on November 30, and in the away back-to-back game on December 1, with Chen Xiao's final three-pointer, they defeated the Seattle Supersonics led by Payton 98-96 with Chen Xiao's final three-pointer.

After defeating the Seattle Supersonics, Chen Xiao participated in an event for a Chinese student in Seattle on December 2, and followed the team to leaps the entire United States from Seattle back to New York.

very tired!

It's really super tired!

When Chen Xiao and the Nets players got off the plane, even the most dynamic guy on the team, Richard Jefferson, was just as sad now.

Now all the Nets, all the players and coaches feel very weak and exhausted.

There is no way, the Nets were really injured in these two away games against the Trail Blazers and Seattle.

From the scores of these two games, it can be seen that the Nets played very hard in these two games, and the scores in both games did not exceed 100.

This means that the Nets did not play the same offense as mercury this season in these two games.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In the game against the Trail Blazers, Chen Xiao was very uncomfortable by Pippen. Pippen got old and was not as fast as he could not do it. However, Chen Xiao's speed was not that fast. He was stuck by the mature Pippen and could not block the pick-and-roll. The force throwing effect was also very poor. It felt very uncomfortable.

In the end, Chen Xiao scored 5 of 18, leaving 13 pieces of iron for Pi Erye and left in a panic.

Of course, in addition to 13 pieces of fine iron, Chen Xiao also left a word full of the spirit of the wolf king: "I will come back!"

To be honest, it’s not that Chen Xiao can’t afford to lose. Chen Xiao felt that Mr. Pi was targeting him in this game.

Before the game started, Chen Xiao went to say hello politely because he had received favor from Jordan.

After all, he is a player Jordan is optimistic about.

And Pippen is Jordan's favorite CP.

This relationship looks very ironic.

Unexpectedly, after the game, Chen Xiao felt that Pippen might be playing the player Jordan is optimistic about!

Chen Xiao felt that, as a beginner, perhaps in addition to practicing basketball, he also had to make up for some historical news and knowledge about the NBA.

Who would have thought that Qiao Buli Pi and Pi Buli Qiao's best outside combination in NBA history is actually this relationship.

Being shaken!

Be careless!

In Portland, he was tangled by Pi Erye for 40 minutes, and the next day, he would immediately face Payton's fierce hand again. This could be regarded as hell for any rookie.

Pi Erye's shots that he posted were awesome.

Payton's catch to him was also awesome.

In this game, Chen Xiao's body was crooked almost every time he made a move against Payton. Coupled with the amazing consumption of fighting Pi Erye in the previous game, Chen Xiao's hit rate in this game can be imagined.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao did not force the ball to attack. He made 10 shots and hit 4 times in the whole game, including the final kill, with a total of 14 points, which was the same as the score of the Blazers in the last game.

So Payton made him uncomfortable for 47 minutes, and his final kill made Payton uncomfortable for the whole game.

In short, this time's away trip to the West really made Chen Xiao understand a lot.

In this era, the West is really not a place where ordinary people can get along!

When Chen Xiao left the East, he averaged 27 points per game.

Now that we have returned from five games in the Western Conference, the average score has become 24.5 points.

In this five games in the Western Conference, Chen Xiao's average score was exchanged for this data with 18 shots...

If it weren't for the foundation of Chen Xiao's position that he had laid in the Nets before, he would have been criticized after these five games.

In fact, even if Chen Xiao was not criticized, the two coaches of the team were also trying to find a way for Chen Xiao.

Most of the Eastern Conference teams are weak, and there is no big threat to Chen Xiao, who has hugged the Nets' thighs.

But the Nets are not a team that roars in the East, the Nets' goal is to win the championship.

As a championship team, the Nets need to consider the opponents of the Western Conference and the opponents of the entire league.

Chen Xiao’s isolated jungler’s way of playing outside is somewhat unworkable.

Chen Xiao’s current style of playing at the Nets is the way to play alone outside. He uses his score to influence the opponent’s defense choice. If the opponent’s choice is not affected by Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao can only be a ‘judge king’.

Maybe Chen Xiao was playing jungler outside and scored high scores. When he came back, he found that his home had been stolen.

Of course, the other four starters of the Nets are not weak, and the probability of being stolen is not high, but is the Nets' championship opponent a weak player?

I will not be stolen for the whole season, but if I am stolen in the finals, I will be injured!

Therefore, after this consecutive away trip to the West, Chen Xiao's daily routine training not only practices strength and physical confrontation, but also has more passing training taught by Kidd step by step.

Chen Xiao has passed the ball in the NBA. He often passes the ball hand-to-hand with Kidd on the court.

But the Nets never let him handle the ball.

Passing and handling balls are different.

Chen Xiao has no ability to deal with the ball, nor has the awareness to deal with the ball.

He has never held this role in his career.

Obviously, the Nets are preparing to adjust their use of Chen Xiao.

The Nets asked Kidd to teach Chen Xiao the ball to pass, but it was not for Chen Xiao to have the ability to handle balls as powerful as Kobe or McGrady.

However, at least, there can be tactical connections with the team.

In this way, the opponent dares not defend Chen Xiao too crazy.

"Chan, there is no difference between the passes of NBA players and the passes of ordinary amateur players. Your passes with one hand, pushes with both hands, chest passes, hits and other passes are very standard."

“That’s what Wade and Ron Howard taught me when I was in college.”

"They are good teachers, but they just teach you movements and do not systematically teach you the awareness of passing the ball. What really affects a player's passing ability is his passing awareness. Passing the ball is a skill that relies on feeling. The strength, angle, or even which player is more suitable to pass it to, and whether you can tear the opponent's defense line, all of which need to be controlled by you."

Kid pointed to his brain.

"Wade and Ron Howard just taught you the movements, not the awareness of passing the ball. This is correct. They hope you can understand it yourself. Maybe you have very strong potential and the potential of passing the ball is higher than them. If you learn their way of handling the ball, your potential will be destroyed."

"So, I said they are good teachers."

Chen Xiao only understood when he heard this.

It turns out that the passing attributes are really different from other attributes.

The action of passing is very simple, but the difficult thing is to understand the passing. This attribute is the attribute of a stream of consciousness!

"Boss, aren't you afraid of destroying my passing potential?"

"What do you think?"

"hehe."

Seeing the confident smile on Boss Ji's face, Chen Xiao kept smirking.

A bad guy who is cheap and good-looking.

"Although I have a good passing awareness, maybe I have 100 points, I can guarantee to teach you 100 points, but whether you can learn 100 points, or 90 points, or 80 points, or even 70 points, or 60 points depends on your own understanding."

"Chan, your understanding is very good, but I still need to remind you that as long as you have a fixed awareness, the future will basically not be improved through hard work."

After Kidd finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded.

Chen Xiao doesn't understand very much now, but 10 years later, he saw his national team younger brother Liu Wei...

Ahem, it's been a long way off.

Kobe was already a little magician when he was in high school, but maybe when he retired, his passing consciousness was as good as the little magician.

The change in an NBA player's assists does not mean that his passing awareness has improved, but that his ball rights have increased and his passing method has changed. For example, his breakthrough ability has become stronger and his offensive threat has become greater. Of course, there are also things like pressing the pass key again, or passing the ball with a buzzer in 24 seconds, ahem.

In short, when a player is young, he is aware of passing the ball and wants to hit people. When he gets a triple-double average, when he retires, the audience will probably still want to hit people when he sees his pass choice.

Chen Xiao felt that he was very lucky to be able to find a teacher like Kidd who might have reached the highest level of passing.

Wade and Ron Howard felt that his passing awareness might be very high and did not want to doodle on this white piece of paper.

But Chen Xiao knew that he was actually an ordinary person.

All his basketball learning abilities rely on his system.

Of course, being able to ask a passer master like Boss Ki to teach him the awareness of passing the ball step by step, thanks to his performance in the Nets over the past month.

If it weren't for Boss Gi, he thought he was very important to the Nets, and his passing ability was very important to the Nets. With Boss Gi's professional personality...

Do you want to learn from my pass?

Yes, tell me, how much do you have to pay.

In short, learning to pass with Boss Gi is not tiring, but it is very time-consuming. You often have to watch a pass, and listen to Boss Gi for an hour to explain.

However, Chen Xiao did not feel irritable, nor did he feel that Boss Ji was bragging when explaining.

At the level of Boss Ji, how much does it cost to get a class to teach young players when you are outside?
