I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Charlotte Bobcats' record of 2 wins and 6 losses in the preseason is very surprising. It turns out that this team is actually not that good.

However, as the number one player in the league, he gave up so many better teams to go to a team like the Bobcats to lead a group of rookies, and achieved such a record in the preseason. Do you think you are embarrassed?

The Bobcats' record of 2 wins and 6 losses will not be complained about, but as the league's first player, Chen Xiao's record of 2 wins and 6 losses in the preseason should not be thought of not being complained about.

By the way, ESPN's rankings have all come out at the end of the preseason.

Compared with last season's ranking, Chen Xiao went from fifth place in the league last season to first place in the league this season.

At this point, Chen Xiao has almost all ranked first in the rankings of NBA players by various mainstream media in the United States. In addition, last season Chen Xiao dominated the first defense, regular season MVP, Finals MVP and All-Star MVP performance. Chen Xiaocheng The well-deserved first person in the NBA.

At the same time, Chen Xiao is also the first recognized foreign player in NBA history.

In addition to Chen Xiao, ESPN has nine other top ten players.

The second-ranked one is obviously Xiao Zhan.

After Chen Xiao leaves, the Cavaliers finally belong to Xiao Zhan's team. Chen Xiao has seen it since the summer. The American media is now preparing to brag about Xiao Zhan.

And ESPN is the main force for blowing up Xiao Zhan.

As the MVP and championship of the regular season last season, Xiao Zhan ranked second, so there is actually no problem.

However, there are many people who are dissatisfied. For example, Mr. Ke is very dissatisfied.

But, after all, this is ESPN, so even if you are dissatisfied, you can only hold it in.

As Xiao Zhan said, he, LeBron James, has never suffered a loss in such a selection.

And this is one of the reasons why he and Xiao Zhan parted ways.

The two met again, and Xiao Zhan felt that he would hinder Chen Xiao from harvesting personal honors, which would make Xiao Zhan very uneasy and guilty.

In addition to James, ranking third is O'Neal who led the Suns to the finals.

O'Neill's reputation in the United States is still stable.

Moreover, O'Neal averaged 30 points per game in last season's finals and is still going strong.

Ranked fourth is Duncan, who led the Magic to the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

The fifth one is one of last season's MVPs, the head coach of the Heat, Wade.

Sixth is Garnett, who led the team to the Western Conference semifinals.

In seventh place is Ray Allen, who led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The eighth place is last season's scoring champion Iverson.

Ranking ninth is Ke Lao, who led the team to eighth place in the Western Conference last season.

The tenth place is Maizi who played 35 seconds and 13 points in last season's playoffs.

Chen Xiao's good friend Ron Howard was ranked fourteenth.

Luo Ge was outstanding with the Spurs last season, but reputation still needs to be accumulated.

Dayao, on the other hand, ranked sixteenth.

Among ESPN's top ten players, most of the top ten players are still veterans. Only three new-generation players, Chen Xiao, James and Wade, have entered the top ten.

It can be said that, generally speaking, the backbone of the league is still this group of veterans.

However, from another perspective, three of the top five are young people.

Therefore, the NBA has also entered a very turbulent point where young people are rising and seizing power.

The players leading this trend among young people are Chen Xiao, Wade and James.

Therefore, many experts from ESPN said that the next five years of the NBA will be a competition between the new generation led by Chen Xiao and the veterans led by O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe and others.

Starting from this season, the NBA will completely enter a situation of balance between yin and yang, and the alternation of old and new.

Under such a general trend, Chen Xiao, as the first player of the new generation in the NBA, should take on the role of leader.

However, he unwisely gave up this role, putting himself on a young team like the Bobcats that was not good enough, and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become a trend-setter.

To be honest, this has aroused criticism from many people.

Not only ESPN, but also many American media have criticized Chen Xiao's repayment of Jordan for affecting his career and the excitement of the NBA.

Imagine if Chen Xiao is on a competitive team and Chen Xiao, James, and Wade lead the team to fight against O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe and others next season, how exciting will it be?

Now, the absence of Chen Xiao, who is the number one player in the league, has greatly reduced this excitement.

Therefore, some ESPN experts directly said that because Chen Xiao will be on an uncompetitive team next season, they will consider giving James the first choice.

But Chen Xiao's performance last season was too good for them to make this decision.

Did you hear that?

ESPN almost eliminated Chen Xiao's position as the number one player in the league.

And there are very good reasons.

How can the boss of such a weak team become the number one player in the league?

It just makes sense.

Regarding ESPN's reasoning, Chen Xiao feels that it seems very reasonable.

However, ESPN said that he came to the Bobcats to repay a favor, but Chen Xiao disagreed.

In principle, leading the Bobcats is the first team that Chen Xiao has led alone.

Chen Xiao hopes that the relationship between the team he leads is simple enough and does not need to distract him from too many other things.

It's best if this team is just like a blank slate, and he can do whatever he wants.

Although Chen Xiao is now the number one player in the league, he does not yet have the status to overwhelm all relationships.

Even Jordan, who has won two and three consecutive championships, cannot conquer everything in the Bulls.

Otherwise, how could Jordan retire again and come to the Wizards?

It can be said that it is not easy for Chen Xiao to get a platform where he can completely make decisions in the NBA.

A combination of him and Bobcat.

In this respect, it's not Bobcat's luck, it's his luck.

He was fortunate enough to be able to face a team like the Bobcats that was like a blank slate when he needed to completely make the decision.

Here he doesn't need to consider the boss's feelings, the general manager's feelings, or the head coach's feelings. He doesn't need to consider anyone's feelings. He only needs to consider whether he can lead this team to victory in his own way. , lead this team to success in his own way!

Therefore, Chen Xiao agrees with most of ESPN's evaluations, except that he came to the Bobcats to repay a favor, which he absolutely disagrees with.

Coming to Bobcats is a difficult choice.

But in Chen Xiao’s opinion, this choice is extremely correct!

After ESPN announced that Chen Xiao was the number one player in the NBA, the entire NBA and the entire United States were discussing the news.

When it comes to authoritativeness, ESPN is really not the most authoritative, but when it comes to the influence of NBA news, ESPN is undoubtedly the largest.

Chen Xiao is not the first person evaluated by media as the number one player, but ESPN's number one person seems to attract special attention.

Because ESPN rated him as the first person to say those words, people also have a desire to discuss.

"The Wonder Boy will not be the number one player in the league like Shaquille O'Neal or Michael Jordan. He will not sit in this position for a long time. Next season, his position as the number one player in the league will definitely fall out. Now, Every NBA superstar has the opportunity to challenge for the top spot in the league next season!"

I have to say that ESPN said that the reason why they did not consider Chen Xiao as the number one player was indeed very influential.

And just when the whole country was discussing how embarrassing it would be for Chen Xiao to lead the Bobcats this season and eventually lose his No. 1 player in the league, in Orlando, Duncan, who had just lost the No. 1 player in the league, accepted after training. This question was asked during an interview with the American media.

Duncan was the No. 1 player in the NBA last season. Facing the question about Chen Xiao from the American reporter, to be honest, Duncan still had a headache.

"Tim, how do you think Wonder Boy can keep his position as the number one player in the league next season?"

Am I a wizard or not, how would I know the answer to this question?

In fact, Duncan instinctively felt that these reporters had no good intentions in asking such questions, so the confused and dazed expression on Duncan's face after hearing this question made the American reporters next to him not know what to say. .

Let's put it this way, this is the protective color of Daidai.

"I don't think it's impossible for Wonder Boy to hold the No. 1 position in the league next season no matter what!"

"..."

Before Duncan could speak, Maizi answered directly.

In terms of EQ, Maizi's EQ is really not high.

Chen Xiao and him are friends, but don't say that Chen Xiao is just his good friend, and his best friend like Kobe, he often directly diss.

To say that among the five guards, the one with the highest EQ is Chen Xiao, and the other four...

Boss Ai may even have the highest EQ, this is no joke.

As for the bottom place, it must be either McGrady or Carter, the treasure brothers. The two are at the level of Wolong and Fengchu.

Historically, Maizi often dissed some close people, such as Kobe and Yao Ming.

Therefore, it is really not surprising that Maizi said so.

It's not a surprise, but the American media next to it are really excited!

"Next season the Magic will strive to be the best team in the league. Next season we will be number one in the regular season, and we will be the winner of the finals in the end. Next season, whether it's me or Tim, we have both. Opportunity to become the first player in the league, only the magical boy, he will not have this opportunity!"

"This is no disrespect to Wonder Boy, we have a good relationship, but it is a fact, just like I once said, give me an O'Neal and I can win three consecutive championships."

Maizi finished speaking proudly, without noticing the slightest strangeness flashing in Duncan's eyes beside him.

Well, you and O'Neal won three consecutive championships, and you and I have not even won two consecutive championships.

What do you mean, wheat, I'm not as good as O'Neill?

Daidai is very angry with O'Neal. What he can't bear the most is that others think he is inferior to O'Neal.

But when I thought of Maddie's character, I sighed inwardly.

To be honest, a player with Maizi's emotional intelligence is suitable for a single-core team leader. If it is a multi-core team leader, I am afraid that only Dadai and Dayao can tolerate his personality.

In fact, except for Chen Xiao, the other four of the five major quantiles have such problems.

Charlotte, what McGrady said in the interview after training soon reached Chen Xiao.

"Did TMC really say such a thing?"

"If that's the case, it's really interesting. The Magic are very strong. I believe they can become the best team in the league in the regular season. However, TMC may not have figured out one thing. In the playoffs, , anything can happen."

"Wonder boy, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything. You can ask Shaq what I mean."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking with a smile, she ignored these reporters who wanted to make trouble.

Anyway, I won't say it, but you all know what I mean.

So soon, in Phoenix, when O'Neill was asked this question, the expression on his face instantly turned bad.

And you may find it incredible to say it.

O'Neill did not hate Chen Xiao for the American media's behavior of exposing his scars.

Maybe the hatred for Chen Xiao is already high enough, so like Chen Xiao and Kobe, whatever they do will not make him hate it more.

But Maizi is different, where do you have the confidence to dare to poke your lips with that magical boy?

Don't you know that his mouth is so ghostly that even Larry Bird feels ashamed?

Are you really not afraid that if you fail to pretend to be successful, you will also cause a show?

Maizi really wanted to pretend to be aggressive, but O'Neill was right.

After all, the Cavaliers disbanded, and Chen Xiao went to a garbage team like the Bobcats.

The strongest player in the league will undoubtedly return to the Magic. Let's put it this way, next season McGrady feels that even if he plays with his feet, he will be able to get through the entire NBA.

No matter how he said it, he couldn't be too pretentious.

Anyway, he and the Magic will be the final winners in the end.

If you don't pretend to be in this situation of a flying dragon riding on your face, what's the difference between it and a salted fish?

In this regard, Chen Xiao thinks it doesn't matter. If you want to show off, of course there is no problem with that, but if you want to show off to me, that won't work!

But, to be honest, because he is now the number one player in the league, when many people want to show off, he is the first person they think of.

"Chen, you need to be familiar with things like this in the future."

Jordan said with a smile when he saw Chen Xiao looking betrayed by his friends at this time.

To be honest, when he was the first person, the person who provoked him was really a crucian carp crossing the river.

A super giant like TMC is actually good. At that time, many rubbish rookies wanted to show off in front of him.

Do you think he is uncomfortable?

I, Joe, have been in the NBA for so many years. Have I been in vain? What have I done to make you rookies think you can knock me down and dance in front of my grave?

The reason is this, and Chen Xiao understands it.

However, Chen Xiao felt that he just couldn't get over this hurdle.

Is it possible that the first person will be stabbed by thousands of people and hammered by thousands of people?

"Yes, you can also choose to stab others or hammer others."

"..."

The relationship between him and Maizi is really good, and there is no problem at all being good friends.

His relationship with Maizi is not the relationship between He Shengzhen and him.

Speaking of Ha Seung-jin, the Korean center who was very dissatisfied with him in the Asian Championships came out to show off again.

On November 1, 2005, the Bobcats' opening game opponent was at home before the game against Mosaic.

This Korean and Chinese who said at the Asian Championships: "I was the MVP before Chen Xiao MOP!" has another famous quote.

"I know that Chen has become the number one player in the NBA. You don't need to constantly emphasize this to me. As an Asian player, I will congratulate him, but at the same time, I will also target him, knowing my jersey number. How much is it?

It's No. 5!

Do you know what it means?

5 has two meanings to me (as he spoke, he held up five fingers to show the Houston Chronicle reporter).

First, I want to be one of the starting five for our team, and a very stable starter.

The second is that I want to become one of the five best players in the league, a member of the best team in the league, or even the best one. This is my goal! "(Not fictional, Hippo's original words.)

After Ha Shengzhen finished speaking, head coach Van Gundy Jr. of Mosaic next to him was shocked. The American reporters below were shocked. Even Chen Xiao, who was asked what he thought of Hippo's words, was shocked.

And at this moment, there was a ding!

Chen Xiao's system popped up an interface that Chen Xiao had never seen before...
