I’m Really Playing Basketball

After leading the Chinese team to complete the first Grand Slam in basketball history in Japan, Chen Xiao did not return to China or the United States immediately.

Instead, in response to the call of FIBA, two half-month basketball training camps were held in Japan.

Because Chen Xiao's popularity in Japan is too high, and Japan is a lowland for basketball. In this case, FIBA ​​hopes that Chen Xiao can keep his influence in Japan and promote the basketball project. It's understandable.

In fact, FIBA ​​believes that Japan is a basketball depression, which is incorrect.

Japan is just a depression for professional basketball, not basketball.

The main reason is that the influence of Slam Dunk is too great.

In fact, there are many basketball fans in Japan, both men and women.

So when Chen Xiao accepted the invitation from FIBA ​​to hold a basketball training camp here in Japan, all the young men and women in Japan became excited.

Especially Japanese beautiful high school girls.

It can be described as crazy.

There is one training camp in Kansai, where Osaka is located, and one in Kanto, where Tokyo is located. The two training camps can be described as packed.

Chen Xiao enjoyed the two basketball training camps this month and worked very hard.

The students were very attentive to their studies, and the teacher was also very attentive to his teachings.

So much so that when Chen Xiao left Japan to return to the United States on October 5th, the accompanying FIBA ​​officials saw Chen Xiao holding a thermos cup soaked in goji berries with one hand, and his face was moved.

"You are an iron man in the NBA, but your back hurts from exhaustion after this training camp."

"I can't help it, the students here are too enthusiastic."

Chen Xiao took a sip of the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup, looked reluctantly at the group of students behind him who saw him off, and boarded the plane to the United States.

The moment Chen Xiao leaves, he is destined to leave his own immortal legend in this country.

Even N years later, Japanese men were gnashing their teeth when they mentioned Chen Xiao's name.

October 5th, 2006, Chen Xiao left Japan on October 5th, and came to America on October 5th. I have to say, the time is so interesting.

After Chen Xiao returned to the United States, Jordan gave Chen Xiao a few days of leave.

Chen Xiao actually felt that it was unnecessary, but since it was Boss Qiao's kindness, Chen Xiao accepted it.

Although Chen Xiao followed the NBA news during the World Championships and the training camp in Japan, but I have to say that there are really many things happening in this year's NBA summer offseason.

Reed went to the Hawks and Iverson went to the Nuggets.

For example, the biggest player in the free market this time, Peja, joined the Hornets as a free agent.

After the Hornets acquired Bobby Simmons and Peja one after another, plus Boozer, the Hornets' strength in the Western Conference greatly increased.

Why did Peja leave the king?

Of course it was still because of the disagreement with Weber.

Over the past two seasons, Wade and Peja's relationship has been difficult and awkward.

Three seasons ago, after Webber went out with an injury and injured his knee, causing his body to suffer serious injuries and his strength to decline, the relationship between Weber and Peja had problems.

When Webber was there, the Kings had a terrible record. When Webber was gone, Peja even led the Kings to become MVP candidates.

If you were Weber, if you were Peja, would you have no idea?

In fact, both Peja and Weber have ideas.

Faced with the two people's thoughts, to be honest, it is difficult for the Kings to handle it.

Of course the Kings want to keep Peja, but Peja thinks it's better to forget it.

Where to be the boss but not the boss?

In the end Peja chose to leave the king.

After Peja left, of course the king had to rebuild. It was impossible to continue to hold on to an already incomplete Weber, right?

So in the end, the Kings sent Webber to the Pacers.

With Webb and Peja both leaving the Kings, the once-prominent Kings team just disappeared.

It was a pity for Chen Xiao to see the Kings disappear like this.

In his memory, he rarely won when facing the king.

He has never been able to play against such an interesting team in the Finals throughout his career.

This summer, in addition to the very big changes that have taken place in the Kings, the Pacers have also undergone very big changes.

Artest, the team's second-best player, had to leave the Pacers. In the end, there was no other way. The Pacers sent Artest to the Kings in exchange for Webber.

The fact that Artest left the Pacers was because Artest's head was hot. This guy was always angry because of inexplicable things. He didn't even know why he had to leave the Pacers.

Therefore, in history, Artest immediately regretted leaving the Pacers.

He felt it was one of the worst decisions of his career.

Anyway, Artest eventually left the Pacers.

And after Artest left the Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal, who did not pay as much as in history at the end of last season, also wanted to leave the Pacers.

And like Artest, he must leave the Pacers.

This is quite interesting.

The whole world can see that the Pacers' competitiveness in the Eastern Conference has gone from bad to worse after Reggie Miller retired. O'Neal is an ambitious player.

It is impossible for him to be willing to accompany the Pacers to win the lottery every year.

Especially the experience of partnering with Nash in the All-Stars made O'Neal full of interest and expectations in partnering with Nash. He felt that he and Nash would definitely be able to achieve something successful.

O'Neal himself wanted to leave, and Artest must leave after he proposed that he must leave.

In the NBA, when a player really wants to leave no matter what, the team is actually very difficult to stop.

So in the end it comes down to the team's choice.

When Artest had to leave, he designated the King.

In the end, Larry Bird and the Pacers agreed.

Because during his years with the Pacers, no matter how hard Artest played, he did his best.

Therefore, Larry Bird did not embarrass Artest.

And Jermaine O'Neal is even more so. At the last moment of last season, Jermaine O'Neal was actually preparing to fight for the team's playoff spot with an injury. It was Larry Bird who stopped him. Only then did he give up.

For such a player who is willing to serve the Pacers wholeheartedly, Larry Bird certainly cannot set the bar too high.

Artest exchanged for Webber, and even if the Pacers suffered a loss, Artest's wishes were fulfilled.

As for the deal between the Raptors and the Pacers, the two parties were actually in contact during the offseason when the free market opened in July.

At the time, the Pacers wanted Raptors guard DaJuan Wagner.

This combination of Kobe and Iverson, who has been dormant in the NBA for several seasons, performed very well in this year's playoffs.

The Pacers want to get him to recast the team's perimeter offensive core.

But how could the Raptors let him go?

With Wagner, Nash can be calm when being pressed crazily.

In this case, the Raptors decisively rejected the Pacers' trade request.

But when the Pacers sent O'Neal Jr. to the Raptors, the Raptors, who valued Wagner, had to reconsider their choice.

In the end, O'Neal Jr. must go to the Raptors and the Pacers are also interested in Wagner.

In the end, the Pacers and the Raptors reached a deal. The Raptors sent Wagner and Pippen Paterson to the Pacers, and got their long-awaited inside player O'Neal from the Pacers.

Why do you say you have loved it for a long time?

At the 2004 NBA All-Star Game, Nash and O'Neal had already been flirting with each other.

If O'Neal hadn't been injured last year and didn't participate in the All-Star Game, Nash would have been flirting with O'Neal over the years.

For Nash, O'Neal Jr. is also a teammate he covets.

Therefore, after acquiring O'Neal Jr., the Raptors, like the previous Nuggets, became a very promising team next season.

Milicic, O'Neal, Josh Smith, Laga Bell, Nash...

I have to say that the Raptors will indeed be very powerful next season.

After all, O'Neal has not hurt his body by working through injuries.

The current O'Neal is still the same O'Neal at his peak.

One offseason, one summer, the 76ers, the Kings and the Pacers, the three former NBA super teams have all disbanded. I have to say that this summer this year is indeed quite shocking.

But the real shock was after Chen Xiao returned to the United States. The deal between the Magic and the Pistons was even more shocking.

When Chen Xiao was still playing in the World Championships, he and Yao Ming heard the news that the Magic wanted to trade Tracy McGrady.

When the news came out, Chen Xiao always thought it was a joke.

That's McGrady!

How could the Magic trade!

The management of the Magic has always been a very special group in the NBA. The management of the Magic is very ambitious. This has been the case in history. They are capable, but they just like to toss and always want to lead the team to success.

The Magic's management is actually very abrupt in the rookie East. When other teams in the East are lying flat, the Magic will always have amazing operations in order to rise.

This leads to the fact that the more things are done, the more mistakes are made, and the team becomes the laughing stock of many fans.

You can never go wrong with not being flat, and the Magic's front office is such an interesting group.

They are very adventurous.

After losing to the Heat in the playoffs last season, the Magic's management had questions about the combination of McGrady and Duncan.

This is actually not a secret.

However, when the Pistons put the offers of Big Ben, Prince and Hamilton in front of the Magic management after failing to trade Iverson, many people felt that the Pistons would hit a wall.

Even the Pistons themselves feel that they will hit a wall. The Pistons are just trying to get lucky for the super giant.

It's just that even the Pistons themselves didn't think of it...

A month later, after a month of hesitation, he agreed!

"The Magic really traded McGrady!"

When Chen Xiao saw on the computer that the Magic officially announced that the Magic, the Bulls and the Pistons had completed a three-way deal and sent McGrady to the Pistons, he was shocked!

Magic management, are you crazy again? !
