I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the Bobcats defeated the Bucks in an away game, after participating in the press conference, many Milwaukee fans still did not disperse, but stayed at the scene to cheer and applaud Chen Xiao.

Although the Bucks and the Bobcats belong to the East, the Bobcats will come back twice a season, but for Milwaukee fans, this time is still too little.

According to their thinking, they wish they could see Chen Xiao in every game.

In this game, Chen Xiao's mid-range shots in the game can attract cheers from the audience. After all, when Chen Xiao was at Marquette University, he was famous for his mid-range shots.

At that time, as a beginner in basketball, Chen Xiao basically didn't have anything he wanted, but his elite-level mid-range shot was really amazing.

Therefore, every mid-range shot that Chen Xiao makes on the court is a good memory for him.

In short, as the "restarter" of Milwaukee basketball, Chen Xiao does have an incredible status in Milwaukee.

Let's put it this way, as long as Chen Xiao expresses his intention to return to Milwaukee, the Bucks are willing to bring Ray Allen, Curry and Durant together to bring Chen Xiao back.

This is not to look down on them, but it is the truth.

In short, when Chen Xiao encountered difficulties in the Bobcats this time, many Milwaukee fans actually hoped to welcome Chen Xiao back. As long as Chen Xiao came back, even if the Bucks were at the bottom every year.

Of course, if you say this, if you really want to be at the bottom every year, then this is not the case.

The second day after defeating the Bucks, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players returned to Charlotte. After playing three games in the last 4 days, the Bucks players were still a little tired.

Especially now that the Christmas holiday is approaching, everyone’s minds may not really be on the competition.

Fortunately, after the game against the Bucks, the Bobcats have no games before the Christmas game, so they can stay in Charlotte and wait quietly for the Christmas game against the Lakers.

With the arrival of Christmas, public opinion in the NBA has begun to be surrounded by the upcoming Christmas game.

There are three games in this year’s Christmas War.

One of them was a game between the Lakers and Bobcats.

This was the matchup in last year's finals, and it was also the most watched game among the three games on Christmas Day.

The other two games are the Magic and Spurs, and the Heat and Cavaliers.

It would be quite troublesome for these three groups to play against each other.

Not to mention that the Bobcats and Lakers team is a reappearance of the finals, but Chen Xiao and Kobe, the battle for the number one player in the league this season is also very fierce.

Originally, Chen Xiao's status as the first person was quite stable, but some time ago, it was hard for the Bobcats to win, which made many troublemakers a little bit impatient.

Let’s just talk about Pi Er, Pi Er said more than once in the TNT studio: “Wonder Boy may be a little better than Bryant, but I will not award the title of the first man in the league to a ninth team in the Eastern Conference. Boss, Charles, I know what you want to say, he is the defending champion, he is the FMVP, he is the top ten in history, but what we are evaluating now is the first player in the league this season. If we choose the greatest player in history, I I will definitely give the ticket to Wonder Boy instead of Michael, but the number one player in the league this season, to say the least, is also Kobe Bryant, if not Kobe, it is Nash!"

Although Pi Er and Chen Xiao had a grudge, in order to stand up for Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao had slapped Pi Er in the face and also hit a fatal kill on his head.

But, let alone, what Second Master said seems to have some truth. Chen Xiao's personal performance in the regular season this season is nothing to say, but the team's record is indeed so-so.

So Pi Er also said: "Do you know what the ninth team in the Eastern Conference was in my era? It was the Washington Bullets, the team led by Chris Webber. Chris, you would say that you were the number one player in the league at that time. Really? Although your statistics are good, averaging about 20+10+5+2+2 per game, would you say you are the best in the league?"

When asked by Pi Erye, how could Chris Webber return to Pi Er Ye and say that he was the best in the league back then, but if he didn't say anything, he could only help Pi Er black Chen Xiao. As he followed Chen Xiao last season Taking the important pendant of the championship, Weber must speak for Chen Xiao: "Scott, my situation was different from that of Chen. Chen was the defending champion, and it was difficult for me to even lead the team to the playoffs in the Washington Bullets. , Chen should be compared with Michael. In the 9495 season, Michael only played 17 regular season games, and his final ranking was only fifth in the Eastern Conference. He even didn't play a game last season. However, you ask everyone, Michael was the league's top player in that season. Who is the number one player? Even Hakeem said Michael is the number one player in the league."

"..."

I have to say that Weber's eloquence is really good. No wonder he has become famous in TNT after retiring. His eloquence is good, plus he has an important role in his hand instead of a championship ring, which allows him to He unscrupulously used his eloquence to defend Chen Xiao and Jordan.

This is very important.

Let's put it this way, if it was Barkley who said this, then Pi Er would definitely not be speechless, but would mock Barkley for not having a championship. Then it would be useless no matter how eloquent Barkley was.

Therefore, even though Weber just joined TNT this season, he is now the number one spokesperson for TNT's Chen Xiao and Jordan.

He is handsome, eloquent, reasonable, popular, and has a championship ring on his hand. This is perfect.

So many people say that with the arrival of Chris Webber, Barkley, the self-proclaimed No. 1 'Xiao Mi', is already in danger of losing his job.

Of course, all joking aside, let's put it this way, no matter how good Webber's eloquence is, there is still a battle between Chen Xiao and Kobe Bryant for the number one spot this season.

Moreover, as Chen Xiao's idol, Mr. Ke, he took it seriously.

Yes, Boss Ke is also responding to the rhythm set by Pi Er.

"I think Scott is right, Chen is good, Steve is good, but this season, I am better."

By the way, Chen Xiao was a little surprised by Boss Ke's response to this discussion. His relationship with Boss Ke was quite strong. Boss Ke's son was Chen Xiao's apprentice, and his own son was also apprenticed by Ke. Boss.

However, after being slightly surprised, Chen Xiao was understandable.

Why do you say that?

Because this season, Kobe wants the MVP of the regular season.

So far this season, players who can compete for regular season MVP have appeared, including Nash of the Raptors, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, James of the Cavaliers and Carter of the Nets.

Among them, Nash and Kobe are the two biggest favorites.

The Raptors have a record advantage, and Nash's performance is perfect and critical, but Nash's reputation is not great. If the Raptors' record is now that of the Bobcats, and Nash's statistics are also Chen Xiao's, then Kobe can just go to sleep. .

But, who makes Nash not famous enough now?

In this case, Brother Ke has a chance.

His statistics are good, his record is not bad, and more importantly, he is famous and strong. In this case, why can't he give it a try?

Since Pippen created momentum for him, why can't he accept it?

If he can really win the regular season MVP this season, he will make a lot of money.

Therefore, he must compete for the number one position in the league. Even if he doesn't want to compete with Chen Xiao, he still has to compete. Besides, Boss Ke also thinks what Erye Pi said makes sense.

He is indeed slightly inferior in terms of strength, but the number one player in the league is not just about strength and historical status. His performance this season is worthy of being ranked number one in the league and an MVP.

Therefore, in Los Angeles, after Mr. Pi initiated the battle for the number one player in the league, Mr. Ke often stood up and responded.

This allowed the whole of Los Angeles and even the entire NBA to see the thoughts and mood of Ke Lao.

Anyway, this season, I, Kobe Bryant, am going to compete for honors!

I want the team’s championship, and at the same time, I also want my own regular season MVP!

And can the Los Angeles Lakers support Kobe's ambitions this season?

In the Los Angeles Lakers training facility.

Phil Jackson felt that his Lakers could support Kobe's ambitions.

Seeing the tacit cooperation between Gasol and Gasol in training, Phil Jackson was really full of expectations.

“Mark and Paul are doing better and better now!”

Phil Jackson is really very satisfied.

At the beginning of this season, Marc Gasol was reused by him, and he had to pay some price for Marc Gasol. After all, he was a young rookie.

But now, Gasol doesn't have to pay much for growth in the regular season.

Because he is now almost completely adapted to the NBA.

In fact, Gasol is already very mature in Europe.

Anyone who knows Gasol knows that after he came to the NBA, although he did not reach the peak of his debut, his growth in strength was not explosive.

Perhaps the biggest difference between Gasol when he first entered the NBA and Gasol at his peak is that his shooting is stronger and more confident. Other hardware changes and strength changes are actually not that big.

As for the Lakers, do they need the precise shooting of Gasol at his peak?

Needed, but not completely needed, why do you say that?

The biggest difference between the rookie Gasol and the peak Gasol is not only the shooting accuracy, but also the hardness of the offense at the basket.

Let's put it this way, although Gasol shot more accurately at his peak, his true shooting percentage was at least five percentage points lower than his first two years as a rookie.

This is easy to understand, because when he was young, Gasol's offense was closer to the inside, but when he was at his peak, Gasol was actually a bit soft.

After all, Gasol is only 23 years old now. Although his shooting skills have not reached his peak, his body is at its peak.

As for Gasol at his peak, although his shooting skills have improved, he is also older and needs to take it easy.

For the current Lakers, the young Gasol is even more suitable for them than the peak Gasol.

After all, the current Lakers really don't lack people who can shoot. They just lack big centers like Gasol who can stand at the basket.

Therefore, after adapting to the NBA and the Lakers, Gasol Jr. and his brother Gasol have become more cooperative, and their cooperation with the Lakers has also become more tacit, and the Lakers have become stronger.

So far in December, the Lakers have only lost one game and are now ranked first in the Western Conference.

And now, it’s only December!

When the season ends and the playoffs begin, how strong will the Lakers be at that time?

And that's where Kobe and Phil Jackson's confidence comes from.

Kobe has reached the peak of his career.

Gasol has also reached his peak.

Baron Davis, David West, Odom, Nate Robinson and others also showed strong personal status this season.

The current Lakers are stronger than ever. Perhaps the only point that the Lakers need to make up for now can be made up for soon.

If we can get that player, the Lakers will be invincible this season.

"Hurry, this deal will be quick soon!"

Phil Jackson is really looking forward to this season now.

Charlotte, compared with the Lakers who are full of expectations, even though the whole world is hyping the battle for the number one player in the league at this time, Chen Xiao is very Buddhist.

It should be said that he is now discussing Xiaopao's next home with Chris Xiaopao.

Although he is now a supporting role and Xiao Pao is the protagonist, the two of them work well together and have a tacit understanding.

However, as long as the head coach of the Bobcats is Jordan, Xiao Pao will not feel safe.

Don't look at the fact that Jordan will do whatever he wants during the regular season, as long as Chen Xiao is happy.

But in the playoffs, Jordan still valued Roy more than the cannon at critical moments.

Many people say that last season when the Bobcats won the championship, Roy's contribution was much higher than that of the small cannons. If it wasn't for Roy's knee problem that he was not suitable for high-intensity starting, Roy would definitely be able to push Paul down to start.

This is a rumor from outside, but Xiaopao knows that this is a fact.

Xiaopao doesn't want to be a star in the regular season. In the playoffs, he also wants to be the protagonist.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Chen Xiao that night, Xiaopao understood his own heart.

As an outstanding young player in the league, Xiaopao is wanted by almost every team.

And Chen Xiao told Jordan that Xiaopao will decide his next club. No matter which team he goes to, the Bobcats will not stop him.

Xiaopao was very touched to receive such a promise from Chen Xiao.

Therefore, Xiaopao also reciprocated and asked Chen Xiao for a reference.

Xiaopao himself definitely wants to go to New York. No one can resist the temptation of New York, especially young Americans, but Xiaopao has hesitation. It doesn't seem like a promising team.

Therefore, Xiao Pao hopes that Chen Xiao can convince him to go to New York.

But Chen Xiao just didn’t say anything.

When Chen Xiao and Xiao Pao discussed their next team, they only talked about the team's strengths and weaknesses and never hinted at helping Xiao Pao make any decisions.

This makes Xiao Pao very uncomfortable. He has already said that Chen Xiao will not be blamed for career failure in the future.

"The advantage of the Denver Nuggets is that they have a good friend like Britney and Iverson, your idol. The disadvantage is that this team has no defense and the city is a little less."

"List……"

"Chris, you know, this is the most important choice in your life, others can only serve as a reference for you."

Seeing Chen Xiao's determination, Xiao Pao finally nodded and sighed in his heart.

After all, where to go?

While Chen Xiao and Xiaopao were struggling in Charlotte, a trade occurred in Los Angeles that shocked the league.

The Lakers announced a deal with the Kings, sending the team's young power forwards David West and Smush Parker who have performed very well in the past two seasons, and the team's first-round pick for next year, in exchange for the Kings Artest, the league's famous thorn in the side, had conflicts with teammates and team coach Reggie Theus.

As the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, a super team that is now on the rise, actually made such a big change, trading away one of the team's best assets, in exchange for a stronger, but very powerful team. Disobedient prickly head.

"Is this rebirth or destruction?!"

"Before the transaction, I told Ron a lot, this will be his rebirth, and it will also be our rebirth!"

Kobe said to the reporter next to him very confidently after arriving in Charlotte.

Anyone with a thorny head will have to lie down for me when they arrive in Los Angeles!

At this time, a tall washer from Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.
