I’m Really Playing Basketball

After Marquette University won the NCAA championship, Chen Xiao and Boss Qiao celebrated them together.

Chen Xiao is the symbol of Marquette University, and such an occasion will definitely occur.

Boss Joe is very interested in both Curry and Beasley, and is preparing to win these two in the 2009 draft.

Therefore, even though his alma mater lost in front of him, Boss Joe still smiled and congratulated Beasley and the others.

After celebrating Marquette in Detroit, Marquette players boarded a special plane back to Milwaukee.

And Chen Ling boarded the special plane back to Charlotte with Qiao Boss.

Although the sprint stage of the Bobcats this season is a salty fish, there are still 5 games to play before the playoffs.

In the three games played before April, the Bobcats won the Celtics and Pistons, and lost to the Heat at home, achieving a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

The remaining five games are the 76ers, Thunder, Bulls, Nets, and Magic.

This schedule is quite interesting.

Not to mention the 76ers and the Thunder, the bad teams, the main interesting ones are the Bulls, Magic and Nets.

The Nets are now fifth. They are now staring at the battle between the Heat and Bucks for first place, waiting to fall to sixth at any time. As long as the Heat get first, then they will fall to sixth.

And the sixth Cavaliers are not wooden people. The Cavaliers have the same record as the Nets, staring at the Nets while also staring at the Heat.

The Magic and Bulls, the seventh and eighth teams, are also the same as the Nets Cavaliers.

Therefore, everyone is waiting for the game between the Heat and the Bucks at home on April 14.

Because the Heat are at home in this game, many people say that the Heat have a high probability of winning this game.

In this case, whether it is the Magic and the Bulls, or the Nets and the Cavaliers, they dare not win before the game between the Heat and the Bucks.

If you win, if the Heat lose, then you really want to change and you can't change it back.

Although it is said that the Heat have a high probability of winning, it does not mean that the Heat can definitely win.

So, after the NCAA finals, the bottom four teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs will be interesting.

On April 7 after the NCAA finals, the NBA regular season games will continue.

The Bulls, who started the game first, unfortunately lost to the New York Knicks 110-113 at home.

At the last moment of the game, Deron and the Knicks' rookie Westbrook made mistakes while fighting, which really made a lot of people laugh.

Immediately after the game between the Magic and Mosaic, if Bynum, Mosaic's head insider, is still there, Howard really has a reason to grit his teeth and defeat Mosaic in this game.

But Bynum, who fractured his hand hammer fire extinguisher, has been reimbursed for the season.

In this case, there is no reason for Howard to win against Mosaic.

After the Bulls lost, the Magic team lost to Mosaic 83-93 on the road.

On the same day, the Bobcats defeated the 76ers 111-99 at home. The Bobcats are fourth in the Eastern Conference anyway, so of course they are very indifferent to this kind of thing.

The next day, April 8, the Nets and Cavaliers made their appearances one after another.

The first thing I want to talk about is the Nets. The Nets lost to the Celtics 104-106 on the road. In this game, the two teams were inseparable. It was not until the last moment that the Celtics had Gay break through and dunk to complete the game. kill.

Although this lore looked like Carter, Marion and the others watched Gay go to the lore.

Why did the Nets play so hard against the Celtics in this game?

Of course, because the game between the Cavaliers and the Wizards at home was also going on at the same time.

The Nets are swaying the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have been fighting against the record of the Nets. If the Nets win, they will win, and if the Nets lose, they will lose.

Only in this way can we have more opportunities to choose our own destiny.

Faced with the idea of ​​​​the Cavaliers, the head coach of the Nets, Pat Riley, has been enduring it.

Just endure this day.

The Celtics and Wizards are two very interesting opponents.

The Celtics are strong and dignified, and they need to win at home.

As for the Wizards, they are not strong in the first place, and they are still playing away games. In addition, the Wizards are just trying to get Beasley this season.

The Cavaliers saw that the Nets were going to win this game, so of course they didn't dare to give it away at the beginning. If the Nets suddenly won, wouldn't they be uncomfortable?

Therefore, the Cavaliers must maintain some intensity in the game.

Therefore, the Cavaliers were shaken by the Nets, to be precise, by Pat Riley.

The Cavaliers' ability to maintain intensity, even the slightest bit of intensity, cannot be matched by the away Wizards.

Especially seeing that the Nets and Celtics are so anxious, the Cavaliers don't know whether to lose or win.

In the end, they defeated the Wizards in a daze.

After the game, when Xiao Zhan and the others saw Gay's layup against the Nets in the locker room, Xiao Zhan felt like he was about to vomit blood.

"Pat Riley has such a dark heart!"

Xiao Zhan felt that he was already witty enough, but compared with Pat Riley, he felt that he was still a little too pure.

Anyone who knows NBA games knows that the more anxious the game is, the more time it takes. Some NBA games take three or four hours to play, while others end in just over two hours.

Obviously, the game between the Nets and Celtics took a long time.

After the game between the Cavaliers and Wizards ended, the Nets very calmly allowed the Celtics to complete the go-ahead victory.

As a result, the Nets also gave up the fifth position to the Cavaliers.

This made it quite successful.

Of course, Pat Riley is such a swaying knight, it is obvious that Pat Riley has made his own judgment.

That is, the Heat will definitely be able to defeat the Bucks in the big game on April 14th.

Therefore, Pat Riley made his own bet in advance.

If the Bucks finally defeat the Heat in this crucial game, then the Nets will really lose their money.

In the end, the fortune teller will count Qingqing's life.

It is also in this atmosphere.

The remaining games for the Bobcats were very easy.

On April 10, they visited Oklahoma City and defeated the Thunder led by Pierce 111 to 84. The Thunder failed this season under the leadership of Pierce, just for the sake of Beasley, and the Thunder are also considered to be the biggest favorites for the No. 1 pick. , because this team has an excuse to play poorly.

Their inside pillar Okafor was injured halfway through the season.

When other teams are blatantly bad, the Thunder will indeed look better.

Moreover, the Thunder have just changed cities. In order to promote the NBA atmosphere in the new city, the NBA also needs to give the new city a young player who is good enough to make the city excited. Therefore, the Thunder are very optimistic about the No. 1 pick.

After beating the Thunder, the Bobcats' road trip continues. On April 11, they come to Chicago to challenge the Bulls back-to-back.

The day before the game started, on April 10, the Magic had lost 95 to 105 at home to the New York Knicks.

In this case, the Bulls simply dare not win the Bobcats.

Winning the Bobcats means that they bet that the Heat can beat the Bucks, and the Heat must be number one.

Obviously, the general manager of the Bulls is not as bold as Pat Riley, so dare to bet.

Therefore, in this game, the Bulls chose the strategy of the Magic losing, and they also lost. They lost to the Bobcats decently at home 111 to 119.

In this game, the Bulls basically had no defense. In this game, Lopez, the big center that the Bobcats have recently been focusing on training, hit a career high in scoring, scoring 26 points on 9-for-18 in a single game.

On April 13, the Bobcats continued their visit to New Jersey. Since the Nets have determined that the Heat are definitely No. 1 and have eclipsed the Cavaliers, of course it is impossible for the Nets to compete with the Bobcats in this game. of.

Therefore, Lopez, who performed well in the last game and scored the highest score in his career, reached a career high in this game and got a career-high number of rebounds.

In this game against the Nets, facing the Nets' five forwards and lack of height inside, Lopez made 7 of 15 shots. He scored 20 points and also contributed 20 rebounds, 8 of which were in the frontcourt. Backboard.

Historically, Lopez's offensive rebounding was very good. Although his athletic talent was not that good, his awareness was indeed very good.

Historically, Lopez had 20 rebounds in his rookie season, 8 of which were offensive rebounds.

Historically, in Lopez's rookie season, his offensive rebounds accounted for 35% of all his rebounds. Even his career offensive rebound rate was close to 33%. This statistic is actually quite impressive.

You know, Howard's career offensive rebound rate is less than 28%. Historically, when Howard was at his peak, his offensive rebound rate was less than 30%.

It is said that a 5% difference in shooting percentage is a level difference, and a 5% difference in offensive rebounding rate is definitely a level difference.

Therefore, don't think of Lopez as an offensive center.

But his rebounding ability is really good, especially his awareness of rebounding, which is definitely the best in the NBA, and he was very good when he was a rookie.

For Lopez, after playing career masterpieces one after another, Lopez now feels a bit full of confidence.

Of course, for Jordan and the Bobcats, they will not think that Lopez has to be trained as the main force against Yao Ming because of his outstanding performances one after another.

In recent months, the Bobcats' main purpose of focusing on training Lopez is actually not to improve Lopez's strength, but to understand Lopez's characteristics.

In the past few months, Jordan and the Bobcats have also learned many characteristics of Lopez.

This is a player that can be used.

He has a very good shooting touch, a very good defensive ability at the basket, and a good rebounding ability, which is an advantage.

The disadvantages are also very prominent. His athletic ability is not good, and the help defense can only help defend the basket.

And more importantly, although Lopez is still young, only 21 years old, his style of play has basically been fixed and cannot be changed.

Because of his athletic ability, it will not increase because of his age. If he can't help defend the perimeter, he can't help defend the perimeter.

If you can't help out and go outside and hit the Heat, it's basically a giveaway.

Therefore, Lopez is not the future of the Bobcats, although he is the first of the four young centers.

Of course, although Lopez is not the future of the Bobcats center, but to strengthen his characteristics, such a player is still very useful.

Put Lopez into the rotation, let him partner with Roy, and let Lopez develop three-pointers, then the Bobcats' rotation will once again become the best.

Of course, Big Lopez naturally didn't know about Jordan and the Bobcats' evaluation of Big Lopez.

This young center who has performed very well recently is now gearing up and looking forward to the playoffs and the last regular season opponent, the Magic.

April 15, before the Bobcats played the Magic.

The Bobcats, like all other teams in the NBA, are paying attention to the game between the Heat and the Bucks on April 14.

This game can be said to be the most important game of this year's regular season.

The team that wins will become the only team in the NBA that can win 70 games this season, and it will also become the team with the number one record in the league.

Likewise, there is a good chance that he will win the regular season MVP this season.

Therefore, before the start of this game, fans of more than two teams are looking forward to and excited.

Even the many forces behind the two teams are restless.

For example, Hook kept reminding Xiaodu before the game of the importance of this game.

Ever since Xiao Zhan escaped from Hook's control, Xiao Du has now become Hook's number one tool.

To be honest, Xiao Du is not very useful for hooks.

why?

Because Xiao Du's background is deep enough, he is the apprentice of Jordan and Chen Xiao.

Jordan is the face of Hook, and Chen Xiao is the man behind Xiao Zhan.

At the same time, in addition to his deep background, Xiao Du also has the same trait as Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao, that is, he is a football fanatic.

The kind who becomes crazy about practicing football and doesn't care at all about the business plans that Hook has made for him, and he will not give up practicing football in order to participate in commercial activities or to please the fans.

Even Little Douban refused to please the fans and focused on business even more than the original Little James.

Xiao Zhan was still very obedient before he met Chen Xiao.

But there is no way, no matter how easy it is for Xiao Du to use this tool, he still has to use it, because apart from Xiao Du, they really have no one to use!

Although Kobe is easy to use, he is getting older, and the next generation can really only look to Xiao Du.

Therefore, for Xiao Du's MVP, Hook was worried.

In this game between the Heat and the Bucks at home, Hook definitely wants the Bucks to win.

And the more this time comes, the more Hook misses the bald vice president.

If the bald vice president was still there, they would definitely win this game with hooks.

However, that bald man was sent to prison by David Stern himself.

With the bald man in jail, Hook's influence in the NBA is great, but it is no longer at the level of manipulation.

Therefore, in this game, the top management of Hook, like Chen Xiao and others, can only be ordinary spectators to watch this exciting focus battle.

Tony Allen and Durant continued their relationship after last season.

Ray Allen and Curry's outside shots and Yao Ming and Wade's inside blast.

In short, the characteristics of the two teams are too distinct.

In this case, it is very possible who wins and who loses this game.

As a matter of fact, this game was indeed played anxiously until the end.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Bucks 114-111 at home with a more stable and powerful key ball performance.

This game was accurate for the whole game. Curry and Durant were playing hard in the last two minutes. Durant was exhausted because he was pestered by Tony Allen for the whole game, while Curry was purely iron. .

In the last four goals, the Bucks were 1 of 4, and Ray Allen hit a last three-pointer to save face.

However, the Heat's last four goals were 3 of 4. Although they were all two points, Yao Ming and Wade's two points at the critical moment were really stable!

After this game, everyone understood why so many super teams in the East must avoid the Heat.

"There is no doubt that the Heat are still the strongest team in the league!"

This game between the Heat and the Bucks is the final game of the NBA's regular season. It can be said to have brought an end to the delicate situation in which the teams in the Eastern Conference have to choose what to eat.

The Heat eventually became the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference this season.

On April 15, the last regular season opponent of the Bobcats was the Magic.

With the Heat winning the first place, the Magic must not dare to take the eighth. In this game, the Magic will go all out to win.

On the other side, in the game between the Bulls and the Raptors, the same is true for the Bulls.

It has to be said that after the Heat defeated the Bucks, everyone saw the foresight of the Nets, and everyone saw the gambling and wit of the magician Pat Riley.

It is better to bet early than to hide in a hurry at this time.

Of course, for the Magic and the Bulls, the reason why they dare to put their bets at the last moment is also because they are confident enough.

The last game the Bulls played was against the Raptors. The Bulls felt that if they wanted to win, they would have a good chance of beating the Raptors. The Bulls were not afraid of the Raptors in the playoffs last season. Deron suppressed Nash very much. At the same time, Big Z is not afraid of the evolved Milicic, and the Bulls' other players and playing styles are also comparable to the Raptors.

The most important thing is that the Raptors will not fight the Bulls when the ranking has been determined.

On the Magic team's side, the Magic also feel that they have a great chance of defeating the Bobcats. Howard has a great inside advantage. The Magic's previous loss was entirely because Arenas went undercover for two games.

When Arenas met Chen Xiao, he couldn't go undercover every now and then, right?

Yes, in this game between the Magic and the Bobcats, the Magic played away from home. Arenas did not have an undercover agent. In this game, Arenas' touch was quite explosive, and he scored all kinds of magic balls.

However, in this game, Howard went undercover...

The reason why Howard went undercover is also related to Arenas, who played at the god level.

The more accurate Arenas was, the more the Bobcats shrank under Chen Xiao's signal.

As for Arenas' touch tonight, it's enough to have someone in front of him. We absolutely can't throw everyone out, otherwise the inside and outside will explode.

It doesn't matter if Arenas explodes outside, the rebound and the basket must be defended, otherwise if Arenas doesn't score, Howard will snatch the rebound away and the Bobcats will win.

So the crazier Arenas played in this game, the harder it was for Howard.

With a bad temper, he took 3 fouls in the first quarter, and was sent off after 24 minutes of the game. He scored 4 of 10 points and scored 10 points.

It has to be said that after leaving the Spurs, a structured and restrictive group, and coming to the Magic, both Arenas and Howard were like wild horses running wild, having fun wantonly. Neither of them could find their way back to their previous role in the Spurs. tactical literacy.

Therefore, this season, Arenas and Howard will always have a lot of situations that cannot be coordinated.

From this point of view, it is so difficult for a team to take shape and have a chemical reaction.

It is definitely not enough for the strength of the team.

It can only be said that the appearance of teams like the Heat, Bucks, Raptors, etc. is really a miracle.

The Bobcats ended the final game of the season with a 115-110 home victory over the Magic.

In the 2008-2009 season, the Bobcats finished their regular season with 60 wins and 22 losses and finished fourth in the Eastern Conference.

At the same time, it also sent the Magic to the eighth place in the Eastern Conference and sent it to the Heat.

Didn't Howard want to prove himself in front of Yao Ming?

Maybe, the undercover in the last game was intentional by Howard, um, maybe that's the case.

So, Howard must be very happy now, right?

Perhaps, everyone will be very happy.

At the end of the regular season on April 15, all 16 teams from the east and west that entered the regular season were also produced.

Among them, in the East, the first place is the Heat with 70 wins and 12 losses, the second place is the Bucks with 68 wins and 14 losses, the third place is the Raptors with 64 wins and 18 losses, and the fourth place is the 60 Bobcats with 22 wins.

In addition, the ninth to fifteenth teams in the West are Houston, Trail Blazers, Hornets, Warriors, Kings, Grizzlies and Thunder.

In addition to the team rankings, this season's player rankings, the scoring leader is Wade of the Heat, averaging 30.5 points per game, while the rebounding and blocking leaders are Howard of the Magic, averaging 15.9 rebounds and 3.5 points per game respectively. Block shot.

The assists and steals kings are small cannons, averaging 11.5 assists and 3 steals per game.

Chen Xiao's statistics this season are 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 56%, a three-point shooting percentage of 45%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90%.

The data is quite comprehensive.

Likewise, quite terrifying.

Let's just say, in terms of statistics, Chen Xiao has never lost to anyone.
