I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the new season, there are the Nuggets joined by Allen Iverson, the Pistons joined by Tracy McGrady, the disbanded Bucks, the defending champion Heat, O'Neal's Suns, Kobe Bryant's Lakers, I don't know if it is disintegrating or a stronger Spurs team, etc. With the existence of very interesting teams, the popularity of the NBA in the new season will be overall higher than last season.

Many people have certain expectations for the NBA, which will change drastically this season.

Many people also have a lot of expectations for the possible changes in the NBA this season.

However, what people didn't expect was that it was the Bobcats who had so much expectations from the beginning of this season.

This team, which relied entirely on Chen Xiao last season, actually wants to get rid of Chen Xiao's dependence this season.

And even after getting rid of Chen Xiao's dependence, this team's record is still so outstanding.

The Bobcats' start to the season actually wasn't great.

Three consecutive away games, including opponents such as the Spurs and Grizzlies.

But the Bobcats managed to win three consecutive games.

And it's not even the three-game winning streak thrown by Chen Xiao.

This is quite interesting.

At the start of this season, the other players on the Bobcats performed very well.

Chris Paul, Zach Randolph, Granger, Roy, and even Bynum performed well.

The Bobcats, who have begun to play team battles this season, are really eye-catching.

Of course, although this season's Bobcats are indeed the most eye-catching team at the beginning.

But there are really quite a few teams that have made a dazzling start to this season.

Among them is the Bobcats' first opponent back home, the Denver Nuggets.

After the Bobcats returned to Charlotte, they were warmly welcomed by Charlotte fans. Last season, Chen Xiao's throws averaged 44 points per game and gained him a lot of fans in Charlotte. .

At the same time, the Bobcats also gained a large number of supporters in Charlotte.

To say that the Bobcats' influence in Charlotte is now comparable to that of North Carolina's Duke is nonsense.

But the current Charlotte Bobcats are definitely not comparable to the former Charlotte Hornets.

Because most of the Bobcats fans are now fans of Chen Xiao, Bobcats fans are very happy after the Bobcats' strength seems to have increased significantly this season.

Because Chen Xiao's situation of being alone and unable to sing last season can be alleviated this season.

The most important thing is that this season, Chen Xiao has a chance to compete for the final championship.

And this brings huge expectations to Charlotte Bobcats fans.

Of course, many teams have expectations for the championship this season.

Chen Xiao has it with the Bobcats, Popovich has it with the Spurs, Wade Yao Ming has it with the Heat, Pat Riley has it with the Nets, the Magic, Lakers, Suns, and even the Timberwolves have it.

How to judge a great season and a strong season?

It can be determined by how many teams are looking forward to the championship this season.

If at least ten teams expect to win the championship in a season.

Well this season is definitely a pretty strong and great season.

There are many teams that have won consecutive games at the beginning of this season, including the Bobcats, Magic, Nets, Heat, Raptors, and there are five in the Eastern Conference alone.

In the West, there are also many teams, such as the Nuggets who got Iverson this season.

Historically, the deal between Iverson and the Nuggets was very delayed, and it was not completed until a month and a half after the start of next season.

The Nuggets finally traded Iverson, and Anthony was injured and missed another month.

Under this circumstance, Iverson and Anthony's first cooperation did not come together until January 22, 2007, when the Nuggets played the Grizzlies at home.

Historically, the combination of Iverson and Anthony was unsuccessful, and this is also an important reason.

The two of them had no time to get along at all.

The two simply didn't find a way to cooperate with each other. They had to compete in the sprint schedule of the regular season, and there was no time or space for them to work together.

Under such circumstances, it is surprising that the two of them can have a good outcome.

Xiao Tiantian is not a very patient player to begin with.

When he finds that he and Iverson can't cooperate, he will immediately get tired of it.

In fact, in history, when two people cooperated, both of them made sacrifices.

Let's talk about Britney. Before Iverson came, Britney led the Nuggets and played very well. His record ranked among the top in the Western Conference. At the same time, his statistics were also quite outstanding.

Let's just say, everything is on the right track, and it looks like I'm about to take off.

If you were Britney at that time, would you want Iverson to come?

Maybe it's really not that hopeful.

All in all, the short-term sacrifice has no effect, and the team's record is not very impressive. Of course, Xiao Tiantian will miss the time when she led the team alone.

In the end, with such a thorn in the side, it's surprising that the two of them can go on.

In the history of the collaboration between the two of them, Xiao Tiantian sacrificed for a period of time, but when it had no effect, she got tired of it.

And Iverson truly sacrificed until the end.

In the two seasons with the Nuggets, Iverson's field goal average dropped sharply from 25 to 19 per game, and his shooting percentage increased from about 41% to 45% or even close to 46%.

To be honest, for Iverson, his approach is very simple, that is, this Nuggets team is Anthony's team. He came here not for statistics, but to cooperate with Anthony. Let's go together Chasing the championship.

Data, status, etc. are no longer in his pursuit.

He has already won the MVP, he has also been the NBA's scoring champion, and was even a former NBA No. 1 brother. For him, the only thing he pursues is the championship.

Whenever there is a chance for a championship, Iverson is willing to sacrifice everything.

In history, Anthony did show his super team leadership ability and strength at the beginning of the 0607 season.

This also gave Iverson huge expectations.

Iverson has great expectations for Anthony, and Anthony also has great expectations for himself.

Therefore, the final result is that the team did not perform well after the combination of the two. Iverson felt that this might be because he did not do well enough, and Anthony also felt that Iverson did not do well enough.

And that's why the duo failed.

Seriously, from a paper point of view, one of the two is good at shooting and the other is good at shooting. On the offensive end, not to mention a match made in heaven, but they should be quite compatible. But in the end, the two failed so badly. , being swept out of the playoffs in a row, which many people could not have imagined.

And all of this stems from a deal that was completed at the wrong time.

But now, the completion time of this transaction is much better.

Anthony was no longer leading the Nuggets to compete for MVP, but suddenly the team traded Iverson.

When the Nuggets traded Iverson, Anthony had just led the Dream Team to fail in the World Championships. Iverson's arrival no longer made him unhappy, but injected him with new confidence in life.

The senses of two people are different.

At the same time, the transaction was completed in September, giving Anthony and Iverson plenty of time to find a way to get along before the start of the season.

Not only the two of them are running in, but the two of them and their teammates can also have sufficient running in time.

You know, the reason why the Nuggets were willing to trade Iverson in history is that the Nuggets also believed that Iverson was a good match for Anthony.

Iverson's breakthrough can compress the defense and create a better offensive environment for Anthony.

At the same time, Iverson's fighting spirit can also make up for Anthony's lack of fighting spirit.

To be honest, the Nuggets' management themselves find it incredible that the historical cooperation between the two has failed so much.

Of course, this is a matter of history. Now, the two indeed no longer have the factors that made their cooperation fail in history.

Therefore, the performance of Anthony and Iverson in the Nuggets this season is quite harmonious.

After all, historically, both of them are in excellent form this season.

Especially Anthony, Anthony has almost reached the peak level of his career this season.

Otherwise, Anthony would not have the illusion that if Iverson hadn't come, maybe I could lead the team to win MVP.

After the first three games of this season, Anthony has efficiently scored 30+ in each game. This actually gave Anthony an illusion. It is no longer the illusion that I can win the MVP without Iverson in history, but After having Iverson, my offense actually felt like a super giant.

Therefore, after playing the first three games, Anthony, who has never felt so strong, feels that all this is due to Iverson.

This made Anthony's respect for Iverson even greater.

You know, Anthony was originally a diehard fan of Iverson. The reason why he, Paul and James Wade got mixed up was that the four of them were all diehard fans of Iverson.

Rather than saying they are a group of brothers, it is better to say they are a group of Iverson fans.

It is often said that details determine success or failure. The success or failure of history is often hidden in the details.

Historically, the failure of the cooperation between Iverson and Anthony was due to details.

Now, the success of the cooperation between Anthony and Iverson is also due to details.

Because of the good details, the combination of Iverson and Anthony has made the team with the highest scoring average per game in the NBA so far this season.

Not to mention how it will develop after this season, judging from the current situation of the NBA after three games, the golden double guns can really attack.

Likewise, the Nuggets can really attack!

How far can it attack?

Even George Karl, who likes to emphasize player defense, doesn't care if the team's defense is full of holes.

By the way, George Karl is also a die-hard Iverson fan.

When George Karl and Ray Allen broke up in the Bucks, it was because of Iverson. George Karl disliked that Ray Allen was not as good as Iverson and couldn't defend like Iverson.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the Nuggets are filled with the happiness of fans being able to play with their idols.

If we say, which team is the strongest this season may still be controversial.

But which team is the happiest this season, there is no doubt that it is the Nuggets.

The feeling of happiness and sweetness made Chen Xiaotian's teeth chatter.

It also makes the little cannon who is also a die-hard Iverson fan very angry.

"Xiao Tiantian, you really have had enough!"

Chen Xiao is really afraid that Xiao Pao will pinch through Xiao Tiantian’s big PP in this game...
