I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao is a little worried about whether his idol Garnett will overturn the aircraft carrier next season. This is definitely not a groundless worry.

Because the NBA is completely different now.

If we put it in history, this lineup of the Timberwolves was definitely the strongest team in the 2009-2010 season, and its hard power was much stronger than the Kaizi or the Lakers at that time.

But obviously, in this era of "devils dancing around", even the 1996 Bulls dare not say that they can win the championship if they come here.

Jordan said last season that if they played seven games, the Bulls couldn't beat the Heat. If they played three to five games, they might not be able to beat the Bobcats.

Don't forget, between the Bobcats and Heat, there are teams such as the Raptors, Lakers and Spurs.

In other words, in the NBA last season, in addition to the Heat, which is the strongest in history, there were also a bunch of teams competing with the 96 Bulls for the second best in history.

Is this Timber Wolf worthy of being the second best in history?

Yes, the Heat may have declined this season, but they are definitely still the second best in history.

If the Timberwolves cannot even reach the standard of being the second best in history, then let alone leading the Timberwolves to the Finals again, the Timberwolves may not even reach the end of the Western Conference.

This is definitely no joke.

Of course, the Timberwolves haven't played a game yet, so it's hard to say how their chemical reaction is. Maybe their chemical reaction is very good and they can become the strongest team in history in one fell swoop?

After all, everyone is really optimistic about Garnett's ability to lead the team.

The Timberwolves, who are so bad, were forced to be strong in the Western Conference every year under the guidance of Garnett, and also brought out a bunch of strong men such as David Lee, Rondo and Cara Butler. To be honest, Garnett was in the Timberwolves' shortage. He did really well when he was weighing a few pounds.

Therefore, Peja, whom Jordan values ​​​​more, is a 32-year-old veteran who has reached a buyout contract with the Hornets in pursuit of a championship. On the day the Bobcats' new season training camp opened, he announced that he had signed a 1+1 two-year contract with the Timberwolves. Annual salary contract.

Although Peja is no longer as brave as he once was, he was still able to average 13 points per game last season, playing in and out, which is considered good.

The most important thing is that from a feeling point of view, Peja's three-pointers become more and more amazing as he gets older.

Therefore, Chen Xiao invited his friend, but out of some scruples, Peja did not consider Bobcat.

It was for no other reason than Weber's.

Weber won the championship with the Bobcats. Peja wanted to distinguish Weber and change his way of life.

Chen Xiao can only regret this.

Due to the formation of the Big Three and a bunch of powerful players, the Timberwolves suddenly became the absolute focus of the NBA when the season was about to begin.

However, after the Bobcats' training camp for the new season begins, this situation will be different.

Because Chen Xiao and O'Neal are about to start their first training.

So on September 30, 2009, the Bobcats' training camp could be described as a sea of ​​people.

In fact, during public interviews with the media, Chen Xiao and O'Neal became the focus of all media.

However, although Chen Xiao and O'Neal are very unhappy with each other in their hearts, they will not show it externally.

Maybe when he was young, Chen Xiao, who was very middle-class, might be like this, but now, like O'Neal, he will not let those who make big news know about some of the internal problems of the Bobcats.

It should be said that there is definitely no problem with Chen Xiao and O'Neal.

This is what Chen Xiao, O'Neal and Jordan tried to show in public interviews.

But you have to ask those reporters who love to make trouble and want to make trouble, do they believe it?

"Of course you don't believe it!"

Therefore, during the Bobcats' first training session, this group of reporters did not stare at anyone else, but exclusively stared at Chen Xiao and O'Neal.

Staring at O'Neal and Chen Xiao during the afternoon training, the two smiled at each other several times, talked several times, and nodded several times.

Even in the final confrontation practice, each other passed the ball to each other a few times and so on.

What is very interesting is that in the last training session, a 20-minute group confrontation training, Boss Qiao made trouble by putting Chen Xiao, Kidd and O'Neal on the team.

For a moment, the reporters around the training ground were crazy with excitement.

In this confrontation practice, Chen Xiao, Kidd and O'Neal did not disappoint, performing various classics on the training ground one after another.

For example, the scene where Big Brother Ji passed the ball to Chen Xiao. After receiving the pass from Big Brother Ji, Chen Xiao made a strong shot against the defender. This is full of youth and memories.

There is also the boss Ji holding the ball and directing traffic, and Chen Xiao constantly running out to catch and shoot. These scenes always arouse continuous applause from many Chinese reporters and New Jersey reporters on the sidelines.

The cooperation between Chen Xiao and O'Neal is also classic.

The most classic one is of course that during the training confrontation, O'Neal covered Chen Xiao. After covering Chen Xiao at the free throw line, O'Neal faced Chen Xiao with his butt facing Chen Xiao, blocking the defender in front of him, and Chen Xiao It was a three-pointer directly from behind O'Neal's butt.

Will this scene appear in the minds of many O'Neal fans or Chen Xiao fans countless times?

When they were still opponents, when Chen Xiao was still in the second grade, Chen Xiao’s favorite shots were ‘Truth’ and O’Neal’s PP…

But now, even if O'Neal is a teammate, he can be shot by Chen Xiao, so although this scene is not as warm and touching as the cooperation between Chen Xiao and Kidd.

But it was even more joyful. The scene of Chen Xiao and O'Neal's confrontational practice made the scene burst into laughter.

And soon, when the videos and pictures of the Bobcats' first training session appeared on the Internet, the Internet exploded.

Let's put it this way, although both Key and O'Neal are old now, they have been one of the NBA's traffic leaders in the past ten years.

Moreover, the two of them really have too many grievances with Chen Xiao.

Therefore, when the three of them come together, there will be an explosive reaction in public opinion.

And the three of them did not disappoint. There were endless famous jokes in training and confrontation.

"The interaction between Wonder Boy and Kidd allowed me to see once again the greatest guard combination in NBA history!"

"The interaction between Chen and Shaq made me finally want to believe what Shaq said, 'The Bobcats showed great sincerity in letting me come to Charlotte.' Yes, judging from the interaction between Chen and Shaq, Chen likes Shaq very much." Shaq's ass, Shaq didn't actively ask to come to Charlotte, this will allow Shaq to find some psychological comfort when he is being chased and criticized by the entire NBA."

During the Bobcats' first training session, this group of reporters came out looking for trouble, but ended up with a happy ending.

However, there is nothing wrong with a happy ending, because it can also generate huge traffic.

So soon, public opinion in the United States turned.

I was still complaining about O'Neal losing his mind before, but he actually chose to join the Bobcats to partner with Chen Xiao, and took the initiative to use it as an equipment, but Chen Xiao picked it up after defeating the boss.

After the first training session, it turned out to be the night of Game 6 when the Bobcats and Chen Xiao were defeated by the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Chen Xiao called O'Neal in the tunnel.

Even what Chen Xiao said on the phone is clear: "Do you think that with the Bobcats' current strength, if you don't come, how many championships can we win in the future? Do you think that with the Suns' current strength, if you don't join us, you will How many championships can we win in the future?

Maybe we will win many championships in the future, and you may also win championships in the future, but I want to win the championship now, right away. I don’t want the future, I want it now! "

Good guy, these words are quite domineering and can make people's blood boil when they hear them.

Many people are exclaiming that Chen Xiao is indeed the "King of Talkers" in the NBA. When it comes to talking, Chen Xiao is better than his basketball skills.

Therefore, many people are willing to believe that these very passionate words were said by Chen Xiao.

As for whether what many reporters said about recruiting O'Neal was really what he said, when Chen Xiao was interviewed by reporters later, he just smiled and did not answer, neither affirmative nor negative. So for reporters now, It must be the default.

Is it really the default?

of course not!

Because Chen Xiao knew very well that these words were said by O'Neill.

When O'Neal took the initiative to call him, he said this: "Do you think that with the Bobcats' current strength, if I don't come, how many championships can you win in the future? Do you think that with my current strength, if I don't join you, I will How many championships can we win in the future?

Maybe you will win many championships in the future, and I may win the championship in the future, but I want to win the championship now, right away. I don’t want the future, I want it now!

"

It can be said that O'Neal used the most passionate tone to express the 'most cowardly' surrender statement of 'begging to join'.

That night, O'Neal's behavior of being soft-hearted and hard-working shocked even Chen Xiao!

Of course, although O'Neal is "eating hard", his words are also filled with his signature threats and careful thoughts. He is worthy of being a psychological master.

Another meaning of this passage is, Chen Xiao, if you don’t want me, the Heat will still be invincible in the next two years. None of you can get past Yao Ming. Before your young center is trained, it will be difficult for you to defeat him. Heat.

It has to be said that O'Neill's judgment is correct.

The combination of Wade and Yao Ming would be invincible if there was not a center that put tremendous pressure on Yao Ming and allowed Yao Ming to have sufficient physical fitness.

This is especially true after Wade has grown into S level in the finals.

Therefore, O'Neal's words also have a meaning of "we both benefit from cooperation."

How do you say something?

"If we are in harmony, the world is invincible; if we are divided, each of us will be king."

That's what O'Neal meant.

Although they are each their own kings, they cannot bear the heat of the Supreme Emperor above them.

Therefore, Chen Xiao did not expose O'Neal's desperate efforts to clear up the stain of surrendering to the enemy.

At least, Chen Xiao didn't intend to expose him when he was still a player of the Bobcats.

As for him not being a Bobcats player in the future...

Haha, can't we also use this to hold him tightly?

From now on, if this "shark-slammer" who is blaming netizens to the sky and the ground meets him, he will have to be afraid.

From now on, he will keep this 'Fat Shark' under control.

Well, just like he took advantage of my family boss.

So, Chen Xiao and O'Neal haven't even played an official regular season game, and the two have already started to compete with each other.

O'Neill wanted to use Chen Xiao to clear his name.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, was thinking about how to handle O'Neal in the future.

The two of them seemed to be squatting on the ground and drawing circles behind the flowers.

It's just obvious that for the fans and reporters watching the excitement, this Bobcats team is indeed very lively and nostalgic, but for the coaches and players of the NBA team, this new Bobcats cannot just watch the excitement. .

This Bobcats team cannot be taken lightly just because they traded five rotation players.

The main body of this Bobcats team remains unchanged.

Take ESPN's player rankings for the 2009-2010 season as an example.

The Bobcats have Chen Xiao, who ranks second in the league.

Granger, ranked 27th in the league.

Roy, who ranks 30th in the league.

Rose, who ranks 38th in the league.

Aldridge, ranked 44th in the league.

Plus the newly added O'Neal at No. 22 and Kidd at No. 49.

The Bobcats now have seven players ranked in the top 50 in the league.

This is actually quite scary. Maybe the Timberwolves and Lakers have such hard power.

But the Timberwolves and Lakers definitely don't have the same chemistry as the Bobcats.

Because Chen Xiao and Kidd have worked together before, they are known as the strongest guard combination in history.

And the combination of Chen Xiao and O'Neal...

In the Lakers' editing room, Phil Jackson watched the funny video of Chen Xiao and O'Neal played on TV, with a solemn look on his face.

As a team in the Western Conference that reached the finals last season, although the Spurs and Timberwolves are big enemies this season.

But seriously, in Phil Jackson's mind, his only opponent is the Eastern Conference.

Heat, Bucks, Raptors, and Bobcats.

I won’t talk about the first three teams, it’s a commonplace issue.

What concerned him the most was the Bobcat.

O'Neal, his former number one confidant, and Chen Xiao, his former number one rival, when they join forces, it's really terrifying, isn't it?

With O'Neal's big body, when he provides screens and pick-and-rolls for Chen Xiao, combined with Chen Xiao's shooting ability, how terrifying will it be?

When he was with the Lakers, he always dreamed of O'Neal taking the initiative to pick and roll Kobe Bryant.

But O'Neal was lazy and unwilling at that time.

But now, in the video, the big fat man blocking Chen Xiao is so happy, so happy.

He would never think that O'Neal had anything to do with Chen Xiao.

He believed even more that all this was true.

Shaq is really happy now!

Shaq is extremely happy playing beside Chen!

And he and everyone in the alliance will face the most powerful tactic in his dream!

"No, the combination of Chen and Shaq using this tactic may be better than OK's back then!"
