I’m Really Playing Basketball

After playing the game against the Knicks at 10 pm on March 11, the Bobcats will play the Detroit Pistons back-to-back at 6 pm on March 12.

This schedule is simply incredible. Counting travel time, the Bobcats don't even have 20 hours of rest.

Compared with the NBA more than ten years later, the schedule of the current NBA really makes many people despair.

In fact, this kind of back-to-back away games in less than 20 hours is not the most desperate.

The most desperate thing is the back-to-back three-day games in previous years.

Just because the controversy is too great, it seems that the NBA has tried its best not to arrange such a schedule in recent years.

In the past, when the vice president of the league made the schedule, he really didn't care about it at all. He didn't consider the endurance of NBA players at all. He simply regarded NBA players as beasts that were watched and consumed in the Colosseum.

And this is why many NBA fans have always discriminated against NBA players.

Because the NBA does not treat players as players, of course many fans think so too.

You bunch of beasts in the Colosseum, don't you exist just for us to vent our emotions?

Why should we respect ‘beasts’ like you?

It would be nice to reward you with a banana after you play and we are happy.

This is why Russell was discriminated against in Boston.

No matter how high your status is, in the hearts of many fans, you are still a beast. Do people need to respect beasts that vent their emotions?

Of course it's not needed.

Of course, there are many NBA fans, but they are not mainstream.

Therefore, the status of NBA players in the league needs to continue to improve.

And this is the responsibility of Chen Xiao, the chairman of the players union.

The players union should not only focus on salary, but also on its own league status and dignity.

Chen Xiao feels that since he has a basketball system with three correct views, it is his unshirkable responsibility to safeguard the justice of the basketball world and the NBA.

On March 13, after Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players arrived in Detroit, everyone's faces were full of exhaustion.

Even Chen Xiao, who had 100 basic endurance attributes, couldn't hide his tired look.

This game against the Pistons is a very important game for both teams.

Because now the Bobcats' record is 35 wins and 28 losses, while the Pistons' record is 37 wins and 25 losses.

The difference between the two teams is 2 and a half games. As long as the Bobcats win this game, the Bobcats' threat to the Pistons' seventh place in the Eastern Conference will be on their backs.

Although there is no big difference between seventh and eighth in the environment of the three super teams in the East, the Bucks and the Heat Magic, it seems that they are all in the rhythm of a round of tours.

But the Bucks have been horrible this season.

Never seen such a horrible team in the history of the NBA.

Under such circumstances, not everyone can be as calm as Rick Carlisle.

Most people are actually like Rivers.

Feeling terrified and apprehensive because of seeing an unknown monster.

Therefore, if the Eastern Conference teams are asked to choose an opponent to play in the playoffs, everyone will definitely be willing to choose the Magic and Heat instead of the Bucks.

Because no matter how strong the Magic and Heat are, they are already known to be human teams.

And the Bucks, this team, this season is really beyond the scope of human beings.

Therefore, for the Pistons, if they can get seventh, definitely not eighth.

This season, the Pistons have not won against the Bucks, and they have been swept every game and lost humiliatingly.

Therefore, before the start of the game, Chen Xiao's friend Pistons guard Hamilton directly spat trash on Chen Xiao: "Chen, you don't want to win this game, and you don't want to be eighth this season. Let's go fight the Bucks!"

I have to say that Hamilton's trash talk is quite gentle and considerate.

Because now fans all over the United States are shouting for the direct confrontation between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen in the playoffs.

Just like in 2021 in history, the whole of the United States is looking forward to the play-offs between James and Curry.

With the current popularity of Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, the first round of the playoffs between the two will definitely blow up the 2021 play-offs between Kuku and Zhan Zhan in history.

What is watching the excitement is not a big deal?

This is.

Even many media experts are calling on the league to listen to the reputation, control the Bobcats and Chen Xiao, and never let them break away from the eighth position.

Of course, the alliance cannot respond to such calls.

What's the meaning?

Let us cheat and whistle the team of David's godson Chen Xiao?

Many high-level executives in the alliance are very excited, but no high-level dare to do such a thing.

Of course, there must be an exception at a certain juncture.

At this juncture, I feel that the proposal of this group of media experts in the United States is very good!

If the Bobcats and Bucks successfully face off in the first round of the playoffs, then the attention of the NBA will be against the sky!

For all this, David Stern must have been ignorant.

And Chen Ling and Shanmao didn't know about it now.

At 6 o'clock in the evening on March 13th, the game between the Bobcats and the Pistons, the referee of this game was Tim Donaghy.

However, in this game, Chen Xiao, the Bobcats, and audiences across the United States did not feel Donaghy's presence.

Because in this game between the Bobcats and the Pistons, the Bobcats were defeated without waiting for Tim Donaghy to take action.

The Pistons' defense is outstanding, and it's one of the worst teams the Bobcats have to deal with.

The Pistons' excellent defense can limit Chen Xiao's explosive scoring ability to the greatest extent. Chen Xiao's explosive scoring ability means that it is a miracle for the Bobcats. If the miracle is restricted to the greatest extent, then other young Bobcats players can break the Pistons' defense ?

It's difficult, very difficult.

Chen Xiao can't score like crazy, and it's difficult for others to score. How do you let the Bobcats win?

Let's put it this way, basically you can't win.

Before this season, the Bobcats and the Pistons played two games. The two teams had one win and one loss.

After all, Chen Xiao's offense has a minimum guarantee. It cannot explode, but it cannot be too low. If the Pistons' offense is poor, it will be difficult for the Pistons to beat the Bobcats.

In this game, the Pistons were in good shape at home, while the Bobcats, who were playing away games and didn't have enough rest, were in quite bad shape.

In this game, not only was Chen Xiao in average condition, but Randolph and Pao were also in terrible condition.

Especially small guns.

Xiaopao's condition is actually very good after entering March.

Because the little cannon who has grown up in the All-Star Game can't be said to have completed his transformation now, but he has also advanced.

But in this game, facing the Pistons' Billups, the poor Cannon was humiliated and kicked off.

Even at the end of the game, the little cannon who played very poorly in this game even saw the shadow of the mature Deron Williams in Billups.

In fact, Xiao Pao had a hard time meeting Billups in history.

Historically, when a small gun met Billups, his shooting percentage dropped by 5 percentage points from his career average, while Billups's hit rate increased by 5 percentage points.

Not to mention the outcome of the match between the two, after all, the team that Lupus is in is stronger than Lupus's team, but the direct dialogue between the two is indeed severely restricted.

So, remember, in history, it was not only the little fat ones who ate, slept and had sex, but also the old fat ones.

It's really uncomfortable for the little cannon to encounter powerful traditional point guards like Deron and Billups who are not slow and have good skills.

And this is another reason why the Bobcats can never beat the Pistons.

Xiao Pao can't always perform so well when playing against the Pistons.

Of course, not everyone was bad in this game against the Pistons. The Bobcats' starting small forward Granger performed very well in this game.

Facing such a strong defense from the Pistons, Granger actually scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, three points higher than Zach Randolph, who also scored 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting.

what does that mean?

This means that Granger, a rookie, is very useful in this season's playoffs.

In the NBA, most rookies perform well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they may not perform so well.

In fact, in history, Granger's performance in the playoffs in his rookie season was indeed very good. In history, Granger faced a super striker composed of Carter and Richard Jefferson in his rookie season.

In the six playoff games against the Nets, Granger's shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage exceeded 50%, which also allowed Granger to establish his position as the key training of the Pacers in one fell swoop.

Of course, in the Bobcats, because he is Michael's favorite general, Larry Jr., he has long been focused on training. Under Chen Xiao's strong teaching of ball handling and defense, and Michael's offensive teaching, Granger's current growth is comparable to that in history. too much.

So don't think that the Bobcats are short of people everywhere, but the Bobcats' current lineup of Chen Xiao, Zach Randolph, Granger, Barnes and Xiaopao is quite powerful.

Even if this game is against the Pistons, even if the Bobcats team is in poor condition, this lineup is not too broken.

Although the Bobcats lost to the Pistons 88-104 in the end.

After losing to the Pistons in the away game, the record gap between the Bobcats and the Pistons has become 3 wins.

This gap cannot be said to be completely untraceable for the two teams.

After all, the Bobcats' next schedule is easier than the Pistons.

However, it is also very difficult to catch up.

Therefore, a certain bald man who was planning to cause trouble in this game felt that he could just ignore it after seeing the situation of the game.

Anyway, the Bobcats' eighth place is a foregone conclusion.

It is already very difficult for the Bobcats to overtake the Pistons.

Therefore, after the game between the Bobcats and the Pistons, everyone began to look forward to the first round of the playoffs between the Bobcats and the Bucks.

And in this atmosphere, the Bobcats continued to move forward under the leadership of Chen Xiao.

After losing to the Pistons, the Bobcats posted a record of 7 wins and 2 losses in the next nine games in March.

This shocked the entire United States.

You know, the opponents of the Bobcats in these nine games are not weak teams.

In addition to the two losing opponents, the Heat and Magic, the remaining seven games include the Cavaliers, Bulls and Pistons.

Especially the direct rivals, the Pistons.

However, on March 30th, in the direct contest between the Bobcats and the Pistons at home, the Bobcats finally defeated the Pistons 108-103, and finally improved their record to 42 wins and 31 losses, and also pulled the Pistons record to 42 wins and 30 losses. , the record difference between the two teams directly turned into half a game!

Suddenly, the entire Eastern Conference's playoff situation suddenly became strange.

The Bobcats seem to have hope of seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

The decisive battle between Chen Xiao and Ray Allen, the Bobcats and the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs seems to be about to come to nothing.

Seeing how the entire United States is going crazy because Chen Xiao and the Bobcats are going to enter the top seven in the Eastern Conference. At this time, the team has led the team to 66 wins and 7 losses, catching up and even breaking the regular season records of the Bulls and Nets. The Lu players couldn't help but look sideways.

"The cooked duck is going to fly?"

To be honest, the Bucks, who have played such a good record this season, really want to avenge Chen Xiao in the playoffs, and use Chen Xiao, the number one player in the league, to embellish their greatness.

Listening to the discussion among his teammates, Ray Allen frowned.

Really, are you going to fly?

If you know at this time that you and the team are considered a duck by the Bucks players, you will be a cooked duck.

Chen Xiao will definitely refute.

You are the duck, and all of you are cooked ducks!

Chen Xiao doesn't think that he is a duck, and he is still a cooked duck.

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't have time to care about this matter at this time.

After the game in March, Chen Xiao led the Bobcats to a record of 11 wins and 5 losses throughout March, and once again won the best of the month.

This is already Chen Xiao's fourth best month out of five this season.

At the same time, Chen Xiao's average of 42 points per game this month also completed his performance of 42 points per game in a single month for five consecutive months.

At the same time, this month, the Bobcats' rookie player Granger also won the Rookie of the Month.

This is also the third time in five months.

Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, Granger and Deron are all rounded out.

In the West, the Jazz's Felton and the Grizzlies' Villanueva are also rounded out.

These four rookies are also the players most likely to win the Rookie of the Year award this season.

Among these players, Granger and the Bobcats currently have the best records, and Villanueva has the best data.

At the same time, Granger was rated the highest in terms of offensive and defensive performance.

Therefore, among the four, media experts are more optimistic about Granger.

Moreover, Granger not only has a chance to win Rookie of the Year this season.

He even has a chance to win the best sixth man award.

With the strong performance of the No. 16 rookie this season, Michael Jordan, who selected him, once again handed over a masterpiece of his general manager career.

Of course, Michael's head coaching career seems to be going well this season.

In short, when the regular season is coming to an end, the Bobcats, surrounded by the national media, seem to have reached a harvest moment.
