I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the previous NBA regular season awards season, the controversy was always caused by individual awards or the first and second teams.

This year is very special. The most controversial thing is actually the third team.

It can only be said that this season, the top ten stars in the NBA regular season are really uncontroversial.

Ray Allen, who led the Bucks to 73 wins, is undoubtedly the first player in the NBA's regular season this season.

Chen Xiao, who averaged 44.14 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.5 blocks per game for the Bobcats this season, is undoubtedly the second player in the regular season.

If the Bobcats were not only eighth in the Eastern Conference, even if the Bobcats entered the top four in the Eastern Conference, with Chen Xiao's statistics, they could compete with Ray Allen for the first place in the regular season and MVP.

Wade, who led the Heat to second place in the Eastern Conference and beat the Magic to second place in the Eastern Conference, is naturally the third player in the league's regular season this season.

The Spurs have the best record in the Western Conference this season. Ron Howard, who once again led the Spurs to the top of the Western Conference in the post-Duncan era, is undoubtedly the fourth player in the league this season. Although the stuck version of Jordan is inferior to Jordan in athletic ability Far from it, but it is quite artistic, and the artistic offense and artistic defense that practice his skills to the extreme still make him the representative of NBA offensive and defensive stars.

As for who the fifth person is, whether it is James, Duncan or O'Neal, this is somewhat controversial.

However, after a round of voting by the media, because Chen Xiao occupied the center position, O'Neal was eliminated first. As for the remaining forward position, between Xiao Zhan and Duncan, the American media finally chose Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan voted to defeat Duncan and became the fifth player in the league in the regular season.

After that, Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Nash, and Garnett basically had no controversy.

In the regular season this season, the performance of these ten people is indeed one step ahead of the others.

That's why the third team is so controversial this season.

Because this season, you can see at a glance that there are too many players with super strength!

Therefore, many people say that this season's NBA has reached the peak and heyday of the NBA.

There has never been a season like this one where even players who were not selected to the All-NBA team can form a superstar lineup.

However, no matter what, this season's regular season has been settled. Even the playoffs have finished one round, and the Bucks, the team with the best regular season record, have been eliminated.

Therefore, any controversy is actually meaningless at this point.

Because the semifinals of the NBA's Eastern and Western divisions are about to begin.

In the East, the second round matchup is between the Heat, which is second in the East, and the Magic, which is third in the East.

This series is known as the finals staged in advance.

Many experts say that whoever wins these two teams in this round will be this year's championship.

In this regard, the players on both sides basically have the same view.

Now that the Bucks have been eliminated and the defending Cavaliers have been disbanded, don't be sorry, the Magic and Heat are the two strongest teams this season.

In the other group, the showdown between the Bobcats and the Raptors was a bit inferior.

Both teams are worthy of the prince's study.

Whoever wins can only be cannon fodder for the Magic and Heat.

Perhaps, the two teams can only hope that the Heat and Magic will fight too hard and something unexpected will happen.

Of course, compared with the confusing series between the Magic and the Heat, the support rate is 50-50.

In this matchup between the Raptors and Bobcats, more people are optimistic about the Bobcats.

This is quite interesting.

It can only be said that although the Raptors advanced in the game against the Cavaliers, the Raptors and the Cavaliers fought too hard and all their weaknesses were exposed.

Milicic does not have the ability to attack from behind, which makes Milicic's ability to punish opponents very limited.

Chen Xiao defended Milicic, and Milicic was unable to punish Chen Xiao's height at the basket.

Bynum defended Milicic, and Milicic also had no way to punish Bynum's immaturity at the basket.

Milicic was with the Raptors in the past few seasons, and the team didn't need him to have any post-attack ability, because the run-and-gun system didn't need this.

This is the case with Stoudemire in history.

Of course, Stoudemire is still like this now, because the Suns with O'Neal also don't need his back-up ability, just make accurate shots.

Therefore, the Raptors' offense looks very aggressive. As long as the defensive players can keep up with the Raptors' speed, and the opponent has a player who can punish Nash crazily, it will be difficult for the Raptors to beat them.

And James can punish Nash crazily.

Chen Xiao can't?

When playing the Raptors, Chen Xiao didn't even need to play center!

Chen Xiao, who plays shooting guard, or Chen Xiao, who plays point guard and small forward, is definitely the strongest player in history.

Therefore, before the start of this series, the Bobcats, who were eighth in the Eastern Conference, were actually the favored team.

All we can say is that the Bobcats' ranking in this year's playoffs is really good.

Playing the Bucks in the first round and the Raptors in the second round are both suitable for me.

Seriously, just the quality of the Bobcats this season.

Except for the Bucks, Raptors, Cavaliers, others like the Magic, Heat, Nets and even the Pistons, the Bobcats can't beat any of them.

The Bobcats' playoff trip actually involves playing the Bucks in the first round, and either the Raptors or the Cavaliers in the second round.

This is simply like sending them to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Of course, it looked like walking them.

In fact, it is still difficult to play the Bucks in the first round.

But no matter what, luck is really important in the playoffs.

If your ranking is a very suitable one, it will save a lot of effort.

In that regard, this season's Magic is the opposite.

They played the Nets in the first round. The Nets are a nightmare for any team in the NBA.

It’s difficult for any team to play against a team with five forwards.

If the Nets' head coach wasn't good enough, the Nets could even become the number one favorite to win the championship!

After playing the Nets, the Magic will play the Heat again in the second round, so I won’t talk about that.

After passing the Heat, according to original expectations, the Magic were going to play the Bucks.

Along the way, even if the magic power has passed these three levels, by the finals, I'm afraid it will be almost exhausted.

At that time, how will the Magic win the finals?

In the end, it is likely to become the wedding dress of the Spurs or the Suns and Lakers.

After talking about the second round of grouping in the East, let’s talk about the West.

The west side is still pretty interesting.

The Spurs, ranked first in the Western Conference, will face off against the Mavericks, ranked fifth in the Western Conference, in the second round.

This is a civil war in the Southwest, and Spurs boss Ron Howard will face off against his former Magic team eldest brother and his idol, Grant Hill.

At the same time, the duel between the two groups of power forwards, the Spurs' Scola and the Mavericks' Nowitzki, the international king power forwards, is also very interesting to watch.

There's also the matchup between Dwight Howard and Dampier, the second center in the Western Conference.

This season it has been said that Howard is the second center in the Western Conference behind O'Neal, and Dampier, the Mavericks' starting center, is very disdainful.

It means that apart from the fact that he can jump higher than me and run faster than me, I don't think he is better than me.

In addition, the duel between the Spurs' second-in-command Arenas and Jason Terry, two seniors from the University of Arizona, is also quite interesting.

Arenas and Terry have similar playing styles. They have the same alma mater and the same agent. Terry used to be Arenas' big brother.

It can be said that this group of duels has quite a lot of grudges.

Arenas and Ron Howard, the two younger brothers, are going to play against the two older brothers, Terry and Grant Hill. Chen Xiao is looking forward to it.

Of course, another OK matchup 2.0 between the Suns led by O'Neal and the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant is also exciting.

The two teams met in the first round last season.

The Lakers were too weak last season, and O'Neal basically killed the Lakers without a fight.

And this season...

To be honest, the experts' predictions for this series are also one-sided in favor of the Suns.

No way, the three inside lines of O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace and Stoudemire were too damaging to the Lakers' inside combination of Gasol and David West.

If the Lakers were a run-and-gun team, that would be okay, but the Lakers, led by Phil Jackson, are a positional team.

It's not impossible to fight a positional battle against a team with three inside lines. If you can't defend the inside line, just make accurate outside shots.

But the Lakers' three outside players, Baron Davis, Kobe Bryant and Odom, are not the kind of players who can shoot the opponent's big man with accurate and stable three-pointers.

So a very interesting point is that the triangle offense that Phil Jackson recreated in the Lakers this season is really strong.

In positional warfare, the Lakers are not afraid of the Suns, the Magic, the Spurs and the Heat.

But it’s the sun…

The Lakers can't do it no matter what.

So many people say that unless Kobe is super talented, the Lakers will be in the same position as Nash.

The style of play is too restrained.

So, in the East, the Bobcats have a good schedule.

In the West, the Suns have an even better schedule than the Bobcats.

In the first round against the Nuggets, wouldn't it be the same if three big men were playing against Camby?

In the second round against the Suns, are the Lakers' two big men Gasol and David West already trembling?

The two of them are not afraid of Yao Ming, not afraid of Duncan, not afraid of Garnett, not afraid of Chen Xiao, they are not afraid of anyone, they are afraid of the combination of O'Neal and Duncan Rasheed Jr.

However, even if there is no suspense about the outcome of this series between the Lakers and Suns, as long as Kobe and O'Neal stand on the same court as opponents, they can still attract the attention of the world.

And Chen Xiao is also a loyal spectator of this series.

In this regional finals, Chen Xiao is chasing the other three groups.

To Chen Xiao, they were all attractive.

On May 8, 2006, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats came to Toronto, Canada after a few days of rest.

The series between the Bobcats and Raptors is about to begin tonight.

The Raptors, the opponent of the Bobcats, only had one day off.

They just finished the tie-break of the last round on May 6.

It can only be said that the schedule compiled by the NBA official is outrageous.

As the chairman of the players union, even if Chen Xiao takes advantage, he still needs to criticize this schedule.
