I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Bobcats lost.

In the end, he lost a series that everyone respected in a rather tragic way.

With the strongest team in the league, the 70-win Raptors fought until the tiebreaker. Even though the Bobcats, who were exhausted in the tiebreaker, were finally defeated by the Raptors, they did not give up their desire to win at any point in this series. The heart of a champion.

They wanted to beat the Raptors throughout the series.

Therefore, after the end of this series, not only the media and fans were full of praise for the Bobcats, but also the team's head coach Jordan.

"I am very satisfied with the performance of our team this season. We have encountered many difficulties and problems this season. When the whole world thought we were going to collapse, we persevered under the leadership of Chen. Although this series We lost the game, but you should have seen that we won respect and hope.

Regarding G7, I know Brandon wants to continue to play in the second half. He is a true warrior. Maybe it is in our interests as a team to have Brandon on the court. However, I am not only the owner of the Bobcats, General Manager, Head Coach, I'm a fan too and I can't stand the thought of a player like Brandon bringing us only a brief moment of brilliance. I know he's sad and I'll tell him his career is more than just one game. , a series, his contribution to us this season has been enough, we have only gratitude and respect for him. "

"I feel the same way about Chen. He has saved us from a failed season so successfully. He is the greatest leader on this earth. He can always change everything by himself. I may not have enough words to praise him. , there are no words in this world that can express my feelings for him."

"I'm a veteran who has played in the NBA for many years, and I know this is not the end of the world, this is just starting over. Finally, congratulations to the Raptors, congratulations to Nash, congratulations to Mr. Nelson, they had a great season, and hopefully they can go further."

It is of course a pity for Jordan not to be able to defend his title.

However, the situation of the Bobcats this season is so difficult. Jordan has actually been mentally prepared for it for a long time, so it is a pity, but he is still very satisfied with the team's results this season.

Defeating the Cavaliers in the first round and almost defeating the strongest Raptors in the second round, both the Bobcats and he can end the season with their heads held high.

And just like Jordan said, after the series between the Bobcats and Raptors ended, audiences across the United States felt that they could really leave with their heads held high after playing like this this season.

Even many NBA are surprised by one thing...

"Incredible, stopping in the Eastern Conference semifinals this season is actually the first time that the Wonder Boy has stopped in the semifinals. In his previous career, he was at least in the Eastern Conference finals every season!"

"Many superstar players in the NBA may not be able to win a series in their entire career, but he wins at least one series every season, even in the scariest Eastern Conference, even if his team encounters the most difficult situation!"

To be honest, Chen Xiao's record in the playoffs is indeed terrifying.

In the six seasons of his career, he has been able to go so far in each season. The total number of career playoff games has exceeded 100, and the total career playoff points have exceeded 3,000 points.

Chen Xiao's career playoff points total has ranked 15th, just a stone's throw away from Chamberlain.

You know, Chen Xiao is only 26 years old now.

According to Chen Xiao's current situation, Chen Xiao's total playoff points in his entire career are likely to reach a quite terrifying level.

A career playoff total of over 10,000 points?

This is really not impossible.

Therefore, NBA public opinion circles, fans, experts, players, coaches, and professionals all exclaimed.

After the Bobcats fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the team was disbanded. When the team was disbanded, most of the players left with ease and smiles. After all, this season, when the team encountered such difficulties, they could They were really relieved to have reached this point.

Of course, Chen Xiao did not go on vacation or fishing like other players.

As the boss of the team, and a boss with considerable say, Chen Xiao was given a very important responsibility by Jordan, which was to represent the Bobcats in the 2008 NBA draft lottery.

This season, the Bobcats received four first-round picks from the trade of Cannon and Randolph.

Three of them definitely belong to the Bobcats, the Clippers, Wizards and 76ers. These three picks were obtained by trading small guns. The one from the Clippers is definitely No. 15 because the Clippers miraculously entered the playoffs. .

As for the Wizards and the 76ers, the Wizards are 11th in the Eastern Conference and the 76ers are 12th in the Eastern Conference. Judging from the record of the entire league, the two teams are fifth from the bottom and sixth from the bottom in the entire league. This order The position is quite high, and there is a good chance of getting the No. 1 pick.

In addition to these three picks, the other one may not necessarily belong to the Bobcats or the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are last in the Western Conference and third in the league this season.

The Grizzlies' draft pick may be No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6. If the pick is in the top five, it belongs to the Bobcats, and No. 6 belongs to the Grizzlies.

Therefore, although it is still uncertain who the Grizzlies' draft pick belongs to, from a probability perspective, 90% may belong to the Bobcats.

Of course, although there is a 90% chance that it belongs to the Bobcats, Chen Xiao is still not qualified to draw this lottery.

The person who drew this pick on behalf of the Grizzlies was Grizzlies general manager Jerry West.

On May 20, 2008, Chen Xiao saw Grizzlies general manager Jerry West at the draft lottery.

West expressed regret and praise to Chen Xiao in a very friendly manner.

It can be seen that the general manager of the Grizzlies does not seem to be in a bad mood because he is serving the Bobcats tonight. This is a very respectable gentleman.

At the same time, Chen Xiao also saw many of his good friends at the draft lottery.

For example, Maizi, who represents the Pistons, has the lowest probability of the Pistons getting the No. 1 pick, ranking fourteenth from the bottom in the league.

For example, Crawford representing New York, New York has the highest probability of the No. Knowing that Stern is doing poorly, and this season is also crazily poorly, he has the worst record in league history. Obviously, even if he can't get the No. 1 pick, at least fourth is not a loss.

There are still many good prospects this year, and it is also a big year for the draft.

On behalf of the Pacers is Wagner, the new head of the Pacers, who is also an acquaintance and friend of Chen Xiao. In college, this combination of Kobe and Iverson was blown up by Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao stepped on him. In the NBA, everyone looked up and looked down, and gradually became good friends. Although he did not have the strength of a combination of Kobe and Iverson in the NBA, the guy who scored 100 points in high school also stabilized. Now that he is the leader of the Pacers, he can be regarded as a qualified star player. This season, he averaged 24 points per game with a shooting rate of 43%, which is very good. 25 years old, still quite young.

Of course, the Pacers are also doing poorly this season, and Wagner's data was crazily brushed during the period.

Larry Bird had a good plan. This season, the Pacers have no fighting power anyway, so they will train Wagner while also striving for the chance of the No. 1 pick.

Although the Pacers are also playing, they are not as frantic as the Knicks, and they have a great chance of winning the No. 1 pick.

On behalf of the Eagles, it was Michael Reid who drew the lottery. Chen Xiao also knew him well. Chen Xiao knew him when he was at Marquette University. Marquette University and the Grizzlies shared the same home court. The Eagles had the No. 4 lottery. Probability, if you remove the crazy New York, their probability of being the No. 1 pick is the third.

In this way, the five teams with the probability of the top five champions, Pacers, Grizzlies, Eagles, 76ers and Wizards, Bobcats hold three, this is quite scary.

And this is why many NBA experts say that the highest probability of the No. 1 pick this season belongs to the Bobcats.

The combined probabilities of the Grizzlies, 76ers and Wizards are close to 40% (15.6+8.8+5.3=29.7)!

The probability of the No. 1 pick of the three teams is 29.7%. Why do you say more than 40%?

Because you have to get rid of the 25% of the Knicks who are definitely impossible to get the No. 1 pick.

29.7/75=39.6%.

Yes, the remaining teams that have a chance to win the No. 1 pick, the Bobcats have a chance of getting the No. 1 pick is close to 40%, much higher than the 26.5% of the Pacers and 15.9% of the Eagles.

The probability of the three teams has reached 82%. It can be said that the probability that this year's No. 1 pick will be born among the three teams is extremely high.

Compared with the Eagles and Pacers, the Bobcats are indeed quite terrifying, the sum of the two teams.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is also under a lot of pressure tonight. If there is such a high probability that he can't get the No. 1 lottery, then he is really a black hand.

It is precisely because of this reason that Qiao boss dare not come here this time.

Boss Joe said that when he gambled, he had a bad hand with the wind.

There was no other way, Chen Xiao could only reluctantly do what he could.

This kind of downwind situation is quite torturous.

Chen Xiao is also very nervous now!

Who knows what David Stern will do tonight.

Especially when draft picks slowly come out one by one.

Pistons, 14th pick.

Hornets, 13th pick.

Jazz, 12th pick.

Sonics, 11th pick.

Wizards (Bobcats), sixth overall.

Chen Xiao sighed.

76ers (Bobcats), fifth pick.

Chen Xiao sighed again.

"This year's draft is so calm. Their picks and rankings are exactly the same. No team with a low probability has reached the top three. Is this year's math god returning to the NBA?"

When the 76ers got the fifth overall pick in the draft, even the head player of the New York team, Crawford, was pleasantly surprised.

Could it be that if David Stern doesn't make trouble this year, will he sign the No. 1 pick to us smoothly?

Not to mention Crawford, the Knicks fans in front of the TV are also looking forward to it.

"The god of mathematics who has disappeared for so long in the NBA, the god of probability is finally back!"

Many New York fans exclaimed in front of the TV, and many New York fans on the Internet were jubilant.

It's just that the final result proved that they were still too young.

As the team with the highest probability of being the No. 1 pick, the Knicks did not wait for the chance to take the stage.

New York Knicks, fourth overall pick…

The Knicks' pick was displayed on the big screen, and the expression of surprise on Crawford's face froze.

This TM is too exciting!

Does David Stern want to engage in the Knicks' mentality like this?

Give you great hope, and then crush that hope right away.

"Is this the legendary 'President's Love (Punishment)'?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel horrified when he looked at Crawford, who was standing beside him with a frozen expression.

The NBA president is too capable of engaging people's mentality.

Do you think giving you fourth is punishment?

He will give you fourth in different ways!

After the Knicks drew fourth, Reid representing the Eagles, West representing the Grizzlies, and Wagner representing the Pacers stepped onto the high platform.

Starting with Reid of the Eagles, the second place!

Reid, who got the second place in the lottery, finally showed a smile after a moment of stupefaction, although the smile was a bit bitter.

However, the Eagles, who were originally ranked fourth from the bottom, can enter the top three, which is actually a profit.

But, now that we have reached this point, who doesn't want the No. 1 lottery?

Especially Reid, he wanted to drive away Francis a long time ago. With the No. 1 pick, Rose was selected, and you still want Francis?

He hoped that Rose would assist him, but now it seemed that things backfired.

The Eagles failed to get the No. 1 lottery, and Chen Xiao in the audience instantly came to life from the embarrassment of having a black hand just now.

Even Ross in the audience came alive.

Rose is the rookie representative of this draft lottery.

As far as he is concerned, of course he does not want to go to the Eagles.

As for the Pacers and Bobcats, if possible, he definitely wants to go to the Bobcats.

After all, the Bobcats have a complete team system. The Bobcats are also missing a point guard after Paul left. Moreover, the Bobcats also have his idol Jordan.

Although the city is a bit small, he really doesn't care about this.

Bobcat or Pacer? !

Rose looked nervously at David West, who was about to draw the lottery on the stage.

Next to Rose, Mayo, Westbrook and Love were also very nervous because they also wanted to go to the Bobcats!

The Bobcats don't have the No. 1 pick, so they have a chance to go to the Bobcats!

I have to say that the current reputation of New York is really the bottom of the bottom. If it were a few years ago, these young people must have hoped that they would go to the Knicks with the fourth pick.

In short, for a time, Jerry West, who had the most gentlemanly smile on stage, seemed to be the focus of the entire world.

If this pick belonged to the Grizzlies, Jerry West might really be nervous, but now, he really isn't nervous.

Do you regret giving away this pick for Randolph?

Jerry West looked at Chen Xiao who was nervous in the audience. The smile on his face was without thinking. He had no regrets.

Memphis Grizzlies, champion!

When the results came out, Chen Xiao was immediately taken aback.

And Jerry West on the stage smiled and said to Xiao Chen in the audience before Stern spoke: "Chen, congratulations, you are God's favorite as always."
