I’m Really Playing Basketball

The retirement ceremony of Brother Bage and Brother Wang was very intense. As the two cores of the Chinese men's basketball team's five-time championship era, they indeed deserve the cheers of all Chinese fans.

In fact, not only China attaches great importance to the retirement ceremony of Bage and Wang, but also the Asian Basketball Federation and FIBA.

For example, in this Asian Championship, Bago and Wang are tied for MVP. Therefore, while the Chinese men's basketball team won a championship trophy, it also won two MVP trophies.

On the other side, former Chairman of the International Men's Federation Cheng Wanqi and current Chairman Bob Elphinston also appeared at the game and presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to the two.

If the achievements of Wang Ge and Ba Ge in Asia are unquestionable, then FIBA's move tonight is telling the world that Wang Ge and Ba Ge will soon be admitted to the FIBA ​​Hall of Fame. All over the world, the two of them are not only legends of Asian basketball, but also legends of world basketball.

After all, the Chinese men's basketball team has prevented the American men's basketball team from winning a championship in 8 years.

The Chinese men's basketball team has promoted international basketball and brought confidence to international basketball over the years, which is absolutely indelible.

Even if Wang Zhizhi and Battelle are not the aces of this generation of Chinese players, as figures connecting the past and the future, they will definitely be written into the history of Chinese basketball, Asian basketball, and world basketball.

Therefore, no matter how much respect you have for these two people, it is never too much.

What's more, the two of them have not only won numerous championships in international competitions, but also have many honors in the NBA. Battelle is an NBA All-Star and NBA champion, and Wang Zhizhi is an NBA triple crown player.

Therefore, treating these two people with such courtesy will not cause any discomfort to others.

It can be said that to be able to receive such courtesy when they left basketball was something Bage and Wang never expected when they chose to retire tonight.

The achievements of the two in the NBA are far beyond the level of retired jerseys.

So how to give two people a perfect retirement ceremony?

Chen Xiao and Dayao came up with such a plan after discussing it.

Yes, it was Chen Xiao who lobbied to be the co-MVP of the Asian Championships, and it was Chen Xiao who lobbied for the two FIBA ​​presidents to come here. Chen Xiao learned that FIBA ​​had elected Bage and Wang into the Hall of Fame. After that, contact FIBA ​​as soon as possible. How about you advance the reward?

In response to Chen Xiao's lobbying and requests, FIBA ​​seemed very generous.

Thus, it also gave Brother Wang and Brother Bago an almost perfect retirement ceremony.

Yes, although it is impossible for the two of them to retire their jerseys in the NBA, having such a night in their careers is really quite satisfying for Bage and Wang.

So after being satisfied, the two people backstage hugged Chen Xiao and Dayao and thanked them crazily.

Seeing Chen Xiao, Dayao, Ba Ge and Wang Ge hugging each other, the young people from the Chinese men's basketball team next to them, including Ah Lian, Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhu and others, also looked envious.

Even Chen Xiao and Dayao hope to have such a grand farewell when they retire, not to mention Ah Lian and the others.

There is no doubt that the sense of honor brought by this example will stimulate the underachievers of the Chinese men's basketball team, and this is inheritance.

The spirit of the women's volleyball team inherits the sense of honor of never admitting defeat and moving forward courageously.

The spirit of men's basketball has now begun its own inheritance.

As long as the inheritance lasts, the spirit will continue, and the men's basketball team will be the same as the women's volleyball team. There may be ups and downs, but they will never be defeated.

Chen Xiao returned to China this year and clearly felt how happy the Chinese fans were this year.

2009 is definitely a very happy year for Chinese male fans.

In this year, they bid farewell to their two legends Wang Ge and Bago, and sent them off in the most honorable way.

This year, the Heat, one of China's home teams in the NBA, once again won the championship, establishing a dynasty with three championships in four years.

It has been a year since China won the Olympic Games in 2008 until now. Chinese basketball fans have been immersed in happiness.

And judging from the current situation, they will continue to be happy.

The Heat have just established a dynasty, and they don't know how long they will rule.

The Bobcats also invited Kidd and O'Neal, especially Kidd. Seeing Kidd and Chen Xiao partner again, many Chinese fans were in tears. Well, for Chinese basketball fans, seven years , indeed very, very old.

Of course, in terms of the team, Wang Ge and Ba Ge’s acquisition of the Warriors has been confirmed. The Chinese have owned an NBA team for the first time. Although the Warriors are now a super fish belly, this does not prevent them from investing in the Warriors. expect.

Therefore, in this time and space, if you are a Chinese NBA fan or basketball fan, it is difficult for you to be unhappy.

Chinese fans now feel very happy.

But as Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Bage and Wang who provide happiness to the fans, they are not so happy. It should be said that they are under a lot of pressure.

After buying the Warriors, Brother Wang and Brother Bag are now paupers. He has no idea how the team will operate next season.

After all, the management team of a team is not one or two people, nor is it ten or twenty people. They really don't understand this aspect. Now we are in a stage where we need money but no money, and we need people but no people.

However, just when Brother Wang and Brother Ba were feeling dizzy, a very special being took the initiative to find them.

As soon as Wang and Bugs returned to the United States, former Grizzlies general manager Jerry West approached Bugs.

Bugs and West worked together in the Grizzlies, and the two are very familiar with each other.

In fact, after completing the acquisition of the Warriors, Bugs had the idea of ​​​​asking West to come out. However, considering that he had just left the Grizzlies and in that way, Bugs was a little embarrassed to ask him to come out.

Bago really didn't expect that West would take the initiative to ask to work with the Warriors.

And instead of serving as general manager, Jerry West only wants to serve as a consultant, regardless of specific matters, to provide general guidance to the team.

Of course, Bago and Wang would not have any objections to West's request.

In the end, when Bage and Wang were under the most pressure and in a hurry, Jerry West appeared and quickly built a management team for Wang and Bage.

In this management team, Wang Ge is the president, Ba Ge is the general manager, and West is the chief consultant.

At the same time, Jerry West also hired Raptors assistant coach D'Antoni from the Toronto Raptors to be the head coach.

After D'Antoni studied with Nelson for two years, he felt that he had grown again and seemed ready to make a comeback again.

In short, with Jerry West's connections and plans, the Warriors, which were supposed to be a mess, quickly got on track.

The pressure on Brother Wang and Brother Bag disappeared instantly.

Compared with Brother Wang and Brother Wang, the pressure on Chen Xiao and Yao Ming is not so easy to resolve.

After the Heat won the championship last season, it was already three championships in four years, and it was already considered a dynasty. However, for the Heat, since you are already a dynasty, and your core players are still in their prime, you Of course we can't just stop moving forward like this.

The Heat's goal next season can only be a championship.

But is it really that easy to win the championship?

In the playoffs last season, they were almost eliminated by the Raptors.

In the East, each of these teams is strengthening, while the Heat seem to be weakening.

After winning the championship, the Heat's key player Iverson announced that he would jump out of his two-year contract with the Heat and return to the 76ers for retirement.

The Raptors were able to win the championship last season, and Iverson played a major role. Iverson's current strength is still there. Of course the Heat want to keep him, but after winning the championship, Iverson's only goal in his career is to score 30,000 points and return to the court. By the time the 76ers retired.

If he wants to score 30,000 points, of course he must go to a team that allows him to fire unlimitedly.

Therefore, no matter which goal, Iverson cannot refuse the 76ers.

With the departure of Iverson, the Heat's almost perfect system is missing a piece, and this piece is not easy to replace at all.

Although there are many big fish in this year's free market, Maizi and Pierce will not accept a minimum salary or a mid-level salary to join the Heat.

There are various signs that the target of the two is not the Heat, the Lakers or other teams, but the Timberwolves!

Because the Timberwolves' timing this year is really good. In the summer of 2009, Garnett's contract expired, Larry Hughes's contract also expired, and Caron Butler's contract was not big, just a full mid-level contract. , the contracts of Rondo and David Lee are rookie contracts, which makes the Timberwolves a team that can sign two superstars naked.

Judging from the recent actions of Pierce, Maizi, Garnett and others, it is obvious that these three people are preparing to merge.

Yao Ming and the Heat's judgment is still very accurate. The three biggest fish in this year's free market, Mai Zi, Pierce, and Garnett, they have indeed reunited in the Timberwolves.

If O'Neal and Kidd go to the Bobcats together, this is a small earthquake, then the gathering of Garnett, Pierce, and Wheat is definitely a major earthquake.

After all, Kidd and O'Neal are both considered entry-level players in the NBA at their young age.

As for Garnett, Pierce and Maizi, the three of them are 33, 31 and 29 years old respectively. For the three of them, such young people are definitely considered their prime years in the NBA.

In particular, the way the three got together was to directly sign a superstar and a super giant on the basis of the Timberwolves.

You know, the Timberwolves were the top three teams in the Western Conference last season!

A top three team in the Western Conference adds Pierce and Tracy McGrady. Isn't this scary?

Although Maizi and Pierce have been quiet in recent seasons, this is not a problem of their strength, but a problem of the team.

Their strength has always been recognized.

Pierce was Chen Xiao's first opponent during his rookie season. The two fought inextricably during Chen Xiao's rookie season. He was the first mini-boss in Chen Xiao's career. He was tempering Chen Xiao, and he was also tempered by Chen Xiao. His strength and mentality are actually more mature than those in history.

As for Maizi, especially because of Chen Xiao, he learned how to salt fish, not to be impulsive, and how to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup. In the past few seasons with the Pistons, he didn't try his best at all. He was just brushing up data and just holding his breath. Go to a new team and prove yourself.

Of course, Maizi is different from Pierce Garnett. Maizi and Duncan won a championship together with the Magic.

He came to the Timberwolves not to hug his legs, but to take in his little brother.

In order to lure Maizi to the Timberwolves, Garnett and Pierce both promised that they would assist Maizi when he came to the Timberwolves.

Maizi, who has always wanted to prove himself as a leader, condescended to come to the Timberwolves in the ice and snow precisely because of the promises of Pierce and Garnett.

In short, after adding Pierce and Maizi, the Timberwolves team looks very scary.

The Timberwolves don't count these three big guys. Look at the statistics of other Timberwolves players last season. Rondo averaged 12+8.5+2 per game in the Timberwolves last season. This iron point guard was trained by Garnett. A quasi-All-Star point guard.

Caron Butler averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game with the Timberwolves last season. This player who was disliked by the Clippers has also been trained by Garnett to become a quasi-All-Star player in the Timberwolves over the years.

David Lee is definitely the best. Before being selected by the Timberwolves, who would have thought that he could score 16+12 in the NBA.

Plus Larry Hughes, who has successfully transitioned into a sixth man role.

The Timberwolves' lineup consists of two superstars, one top superstar, and four quasi-All-Stars.

If the league's requirements for giants are slightly relaxed now, this Timberwolf can definitely be called the new 'F7'.

Of course, since O'Neal brought the F7 Nets and was hacked by Chen Xiao, no one dares to use F7 or F anymore.

In short, with the birth of the giant team Timberwolves, it has had a huge impact on many super teams in the league.

The one with the greatest impact is the Heat.

The Timberwolves are now very eager to attract the Heat's attention to those leg-hugging veterans!

You know, Garnett has saved Rondo, Caron Butler, David Lee and others in the Timberwolves over the years, plus Kwame Brown before him. Garnett's leadership and Wolf King spirit are well-known.

In the past, the Timberwolves were not strong enough, but now they are strong enough. Many people feel that with Garnett's leadership, it is impossible for him to fly an aircraft carrier.

What's more, the competition in the West is not as scary as the competition in the East.

The Heat are bearing the greatest pressure from the Timberwolves.

But that doesn't mean the Bobcats aren't stressed.

Because of the presence of the Timberwolves, until the end of September, when the Bobcats' pre-game training camp was about to start, neither Joe nor the Bobcats laid off Livingston.

This means that the Bobcats have never found a player who can fill the Bobcats' 15-man roster.

Now those people are waiting for the Timberwolves' decision.

As the creator of the Wolf King spirit and Chen Xiao's idol, Garnett can finally fly an aircraft carrier. Now everyone is waiting to board Garnett's aircraft carrier.

Seeing that there is so much expectation across the United States for a Canadian idol to operate an aircraft carrier for the first time at this time, Chen Xiao certainly believes that his idol can use the spirit of the Wolf King to operate an aircraft carrier stably, but...

What if it turns over?
