I’m Really Playing Basketball

In fact, it's really no wonder Dayao and Wade thanked Chen Xiao so much.

In the absence of being able to get the first place in the Eastern Conference, the current ranking in the Eastern Conference is already the most friendly to the Heat.

After the regular season of the 2007-2008 season, the first place in the East is the Raptors with 70 wins, the second place in the East is the Heat with 67 wins, the third place in the East is the Magic with 65 wins, and the fourth place is They are the Cavaliers with 56 wins, the Bobcats with 63 wins in fifth, the Nets with 62 wins in sixth, the Bucks with 55 wins in seventh, and the Bulls with 50 wins in eighth.

Judging from the rankings, although the Heat have not encountered the relatively worst Bulls, the Bucks are also a team they relatively prefer to play.

The Heat still have a lot of experience in beating the five little Bucks.

And what the Bucks are most afraid of is the Heat. They can play the Raptors, the Magic, the Nets, and the Bobcats. In fact, the Bucks can play them all, but this season, the Bucks have not won a game against the Heat.

At the same time, the most important thing is that Chen Xiao and Bobcats successfully sent the Nets, the magic nemesis, to the Magic.

As long as the Nets can beat the Magic in the first round of the playoffs, then the Heat will be invincible, if not in the Eastern Conference. At least, they will be able to leapfrog.

It has to be said that in this magical season in the Eastern Conference, the Heat were suppressed by the Raptors throughout the season, and finally escaped death and achieved relatively good results.

Of course, although Wade and Yao Ming got a relatively best result, the biggest winner in the Eastern Conference this season is of course the Raptors. There is no doubt about this.

Playing the weakest Bulls in the first round, and the Bobcats who have lost the chance to win the championship in the second round, the Raptors' road to promotion seems to be the smoothest.

And this is also the significance of the Raptors fighting all the way to No. 1 in the Eastern Conference this season.

In addition to these eight playoff teams, the remaining teams in the Eastern Conference are ranked ninth. The Pistons led by Wheat and Billups are ranked ninth, and Adam Morrison is ranked tenth. Gay, Noah and Gerald Green led the Celtics.

This season, the Celtics' leader Morrison is still well protected by the Celtics. He has played 50 games throughout the season and has still not suffered from injuries. His growth is relatively satisfactory. People are satisfied.

This season his scoring average has risen to 18 points per game, which is actually not easy. After all, his average playing time is less than 35 minutes per game, and the games he plays are against relatively strong opponents.

It is really not easy to have such growth in such an environment.

Of course, what is more embarrassing for Morrison this season is that his second-in-command, his Pippen, Rudy Gay, averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block per game this season. It seems that this Pippen made it clear that he wanted to be Jordan.

Speaking of which, Gay this season really has some meanings of McGrady back then, and Gay is also the favorite of the most improved player this season.

The Eastern Conference teams ranked 11th to 15th are the Wizards, 76ers, Hawks, Pacers and New York Knicks.

This season it is rare for the Knicks to have a draft pick of their own. The Knicks' bad performance has reached a new level this season. In such a desperate Western Conference, the Knicks have posted an incredible record of 4 wins and 76 losses this season.

It can be said that subjectively and objectively, the Knicks are simply "super" this season, scaring the little guys so much that they dare not join this team.

According to the rankings of the Eastern Conference this season, the first round of the playoffs will be the Raptors playing the Bulls, the Heat playing the Bucks, the Magic playing the Nets, and the Bobcats playing the Cavaliers.

Among them, the duel between the Cavaliers and Bobcats became popular throughout the NBA and the United States as soon as it was released.

After all, everyone knows the bond between Chen Xiao, James and the Cavaliers.

Although Chen Xiao has played against the Cavaliers four times every regular season since he left the Cavaliers, everyone is familiar with it.

But in the playoffs, this is the first time the two teams have met.

So, this is definitely pretty interesting.

What's more, after Pao and Randolph left, the Cavaliers and Bobcats were considered to be very close.

So this playoff matchup may be very interesting to watch.

In fact, not only fans and experts are looking forward to it, but even Xiao Zhan himself is looking forward to it.

The day after the regular season ended, Xiao Zhan made a 'provocative' call.

Of course, Chen Xiao knew that Xiao Zhan was definitely joking.

However, generally speaking, whether it is Cavaliers fans, neutral fans or American experts, they are still looking forward to this playoff showdown between Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers.

On the other side, the eight teams in the Western Conference that have entered the playoffs are the Lakers who are first in the Western Conference with 65 wins, the Spurs who are second in the Western Conference with 64 wins, the Timberwolves who are third in the Western Conference with 50 wins, and fourth in the Western Conference. , the 48-win Suns.

After that, the fifth-placed Nuggets and sixth-placed Mavericks both had 47 wins, leaving the seventh and eighth-placed Trail Blazers and Clippers with 39 wins respectively.

If there are no surprises for the top six teams in the Western Conference, then the seventh and eighth teams are really quite surprising.

Logically speaking, many people think that the Sonics led by Pierce and the Grizzlies led by Kidd have a better chance of entering the playoffs.

But it's interesting to say that the Sonics led by Pierce were originally in good shape, but after the team's leading center Okafor was injured, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Originally facing the crazy pursuit of the Clippers led by Cannon, although the situation was anxious, after all, the SuperSonics had a lot of lead before.

However, Lewis' departure this season and Okafor's injury at critical moments still dealt a heavy blow to this team.

Pierce is a little lonely.

Another strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Grizzlies led by John Baseball, is interesting.

The Grizzlies' record dropped almost off a cliff after the All-Star break.

Many people say that this is because the performance of University of Memphis point guard Derrick Rose after entering the NCAA national championship was so amazing that even Kidd Kidd, the Grizzlies' leading player, was injured.

Many people say that the Grizzlies' sharp decline in record is a conspiracy by Grizzlies general manager Jerry West, who wants to compete for Rose.

But this is absolutely nonsense.

It's impossible for the Grizzlies to compete for Rose because the Grizzlies' draft picks are with the Bobcats.

As long as the Grizzlies pick in the top five this year, it belongs to the Bobcats, and can the sixth overall pick select Rose?

It's possible, it might be possible in March.

But now, after Rose's Memphis beat Beasley's Marquette, that's no longer possible.

The new NCAA championship and MOP, Derrick Rose's NCAA season this season can be described as a god.

The University of Memphis is actually not that optimistic this season. As a first-year player, Rose posted a record of 39 wins and 1 loss for the University of Memphis, almost winning the season.

And their only loss was an inconsequential game against the University of Tennessee.

In addition to this friendly match, the University of Memphis has won 19 consecutive victories in its own league, CUSA, and six consecutive victories in the NCAA National Championship.

Never lost a competitive match.

This one is amazing.

Especially in the NCAA finals, when facing off against Beasley, Rose directly knocked out his opponent. This directly made Rose the No. 1 favorite in the 2008 NBA draft, and was definitely the 100% No. 1 pick.

Especially when Beasley announced his withdrawal from the 2008 NBA draft, Rose was left alone to seek defeat.

The Grizzlies, who don't have the top five picks, are going to steal Rose?

Historically, Rose was the runner-up in the NCAA this year, and in this time and space, he was the champion, because in this time and space, Rose's nemesis, the University of Kansas, was killed by Beasley in the semifinals.

It has to be said that one thing reduces another.

Marquette restrained Kansas, while Memphis restrained Marquette.

The strength of the three teams is similar, but the combinations are different, and the championships are different.

If the University of Memphis and Kansas meet in the semifinals, then the champion will be Marquette University, and Beasley will probably be the well-deserved No. 1 pick.

But no matter what, this year's NCAA is destined to belong to Rose. In the semifinals, he KOed UCLA led by Westbrook and Love, and in the finals, he KOed Beasley. He directly killed all this year's hot rookies.

Therefore, after this season, Rose has become one of the strongest freshmen players in history, along with Chen Xiao, Anthony, Durant and other super freshmen.

After talking about Rose and the Grizzlies, let’s talk about the Clippers and Trail Blazers, two teams that have suddenly emerged this season.

Speaking of which, the sudden rise of these two teams is really thanks to Chen Xiao.

Because the leading player of the Trail Blazers this season, Garnett Jr. and Darius Myers, this muscular forward, has performed the best in his career this season. He can burst, resist, run, dunk, pass, and dunk. One person can play directly from point guard to power forward. Although the technique is rough, this is the real Diaw.

And the one who is more Dior than Miles is obviously Chris Paul.

Before the Clippers acquired Paul, their record was second to last in the Western Conference. After acquiring Paul, the Clippers actually made it all the way to the playoffs.

After Xiaopao came to the Clippers, he won the Best of the Month for two consecutive months. In these two months, he led the team to 20 wins and 9 losses. As a result, Xiaopao became the player with the most Best of the Month awards this season. The East won the best for one month, and the West won the best for two months.

Originally, many people said that the Clippers were slightly disadvantaged by using Livingston and three early lottery picks in exchange for small guns.

However, from the current point of view, it seems that the Clippers not only did not lose money, but also made some profits, because the small cannon in exchange does not need to grow into a superstar, but directly becomes a superstar!

And he is also a very rare superstar who can lead a team.

Historically, this season's little cannon can compete with Kobe for MVP.

But now, the little cannon in this time and space has entered the league one season earlier than history, and is stronger.

What's more, the Clippers' current strength is not weaker than that of the original Hornets. There is nothing surprising about the Clippers' record.

But, who in this world knows history?

Even Chen Xiao doesn't know.

Therefore, if a team that is second to last in the Western Conference gets a small piece of artillery, during the same period, its record is second only to the two super teams of the Lakers and Spurs, ranking third in the Western Conference. If it were you, wouldn't you be surprised?

To be honest, the entire NBA was shocked by the little cannon.

However, although the desperate pursuit of the Clippers in the regular season is one of the most exciting dramas in the second half of the NBA regular season, it is still a little late to come to the Clippers after all, so the Clippers' highest ranking is Eighth.

In eighth place, they will face the Lakers, their rivals in the same city. This is quite stressful for the young cannon.

Compared with the east side, the matchup in the west side is also quite interesting.

The Lakers versus the Clippers were a city-wide battle, with the popular emerging superstar facing off against the veteran superstar Kobe Bryant.

The Spurs played the Trail Blazers, and this one was relatively dull.

The Timberwolves beat the Mavericks, and this is a civil war between Garnett and Nowitzki's five major forwards.

As for the Suns and the Nuggets, this is the continuation of the playoffs between O'Neal and Iverson.

To be honest, after failing to make the All-Stars this season, O'Neal held it in for a long time and never came out for a walk. People who know O'Neal should know how incredible this is.

O'Neal is holding his breath now and wants to make a big play in the playoffs, letting those who think he is quite old know his current strength.

To be fair, O'Neal is very strong now. Historically, even next season, O'Neal will average close to 20 points per game, and his shooting rate is still as high as over 60%.

What's more, O'Neal's self-discipline is much stronger now than in history. With O'Neal's tonnage and playing style, now as long as he is willing, he will have no problem getting 20+ in a game efficiently.

His current strength is definitely at the All-Star level.

Therefore, for O'Neal, he has the strength of an All-Star this season, but he did not enter the All-Star, which is an insult to him.

In particular, he felt that he had lost a million votes to Howard in the All-Star voting, which was even more insulting to him.

He doesn't think he is worse than Howard, the All-Star who was humiliated by the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, this season he doesn't want to prove other things, he just wants to prove that he can beat Howard one-on-one!

He just wants to go to the Western Conference Finals to fuck Howard!

As for whether it was Iverson or Kobe standing in front of him, he would kick them away one by one!

I have to say that history is really a coincidence.

The situation encountered by O'Neal this season is almost exactly the same as that of Kobe last season.

Last season, Kobe completed his final redemption under the circumstances of the world's contempt and disapproval.

And this season's O'Neal, can he complete the counterattack when the whole world is not optimistic?

To be honest, the sun still has this ability.

Don't look at them as the fourth in the West, the record is far from the Lakers and Spurs in the West.

However, O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace and Stoudemire shrunk to the basket. No team in the West dared to say that they were sure to win the Suns.

Even in the entire league, except for the three-point invincible Bucks, no one dares to say that they can definitely beat the Suns.

The Suns are still one of the toughest teams in the Western Conference.

This season, even Chen Xiao and the Bobcats were almost beaten by the Suns.

This team is really quite strong.

Therefore, O'Neal going into the playoffs with such a heart is definitely a 'nightmare' for other strong teams in the Western Conference.

In addition, the ninth to fifteenth teams in the Western Conference this season are the Hornets, Jazz, SuperSonics, Mosaic, Warriors, Kings, and Grizzlies.

Even though the Grizzlies are ranked last, in fact, the Grizzlies' record is not much different from that of the SuperSonics. The records of the last few in the Western Conference are very close, and the gap between them is only two games.

However, even so, it is quite surprising that the Grizzlies are ranked last.

Because after Kidd was injured and stopped playing, the Grizzlies won two games, which was really miserable.

After all, this team's backup point guard Lowry was traded, Kidd was injured again, and the team basically didn't even have anyone capable of controlling the ball. In the end, only the two big players, Bago and Randolph, were left. It's really hard for a liar to win if he's tough.

However, for Chen Xiao, who knew some inside information, he knew that Boss Ji's injury was actually very minor.

After all, it is really embarrassing for him, the second point guard in history, to compete with a junior like Pao for a spot in the playoffs. Moreover, even if he enters the playoffs, he will be swept by Kobe. This makes the face-conscious Boss Ji even more reluctant.

Therefore, Big Brother Ji took advantage of this minor injury and was immediately reimbursed for the season.

But what surprised Chen Xiao was that the always strong Jerry West didn't let him play, but watched helplessly as the Grizzlies were drawn into the playoffs.

Chen Xiao actually didn't understand this.

However, Boss Qiao, who had been watching the excitement, was very wary of what happened to the grizzly bear.

Why do you say that?

Because Jerry West does it all so familiarly!

The business between bobcats and grizzly bears has been really smooth over the years.

Also, Jerry West actually raised draft picks for the Bobcats this season and did things that benefited the Bobcats. This is really suspicious.

It's impossible to say that the Grizzlies and Jerry West don't have any thoughts about the Bobcats.

And what does Jerry West think of the Bobcats?

He held Battle and Kidd firmly in his hands and refused to let go. At the same time, he also tried his best to cooperate with the Bobcats trade. Even after trading the pick to the Bobcats, he was willing to deliberately give up the pick for the Bobcats. A chance at the playoffs.

Obviously, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

Maybe others can't see the meaning of Jerry West's somewhat "faint" behavior in the past few seasons, but Jordan knows that it must be directed at Chen Xiao!

"Jerry West has been planning for Chen for many seasons!"

It has to be said that as a master of psychological warfare, Boss Qiao is really talented in this area.

But it makes sense, after all, that's how he got Chen Xiao.

For a person like Chen Xiao who is so loyal, if you keep doing it and doing it without saying anything, the effect will be the best.

For the NBA, this regular season has come to a successful end.

For Chen Xiao, after losing Xiao Pao and Randolph, he can still get 60 wins. This is also a satisfactory season.

Moreover, Chen Xiao, who averaged 32.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game this season, also regained the scoring title he lost last season.

At the same time, although Chen Xiao has been playing the forward position in the next two months and has not played point guard, Chen Xiao's assists per game still reached a career high.

Therefore, although it is difficult, this season is still a rewarding season.
