I’m Really Playing Basketball

Most NBA professionals are not as foresight as Phil Jackson, but these people are still very capable of hindsight.

As the Bobcats train the cooperation between Chen Xiao and O'Neal, and the cooperation between Chen Xiao and Kidd continues to leak out, more and more people see something different in the Bobcats.

According to Barkley, even if he is blind, he can see how exciting this Bobcat is now, so much so that Barkley said he is willing to sign with the Bobcats now if Jordan is willing.

Even Barkley not only recommended himself, but also shouted to Karl Malone, asking the legendary NBA power forward to put aside his prejudice against O'Neal and join the Bobcats.

After Malone failed in the Nets, didn't Chen Xiao also invite him? Now he is just able to accept the invitation with O'Neal.

Of course, Chen Xiao really took the initiative to invite Malone. As for O'Neal, although Chen Xiao wanted to, he really didn't take the initiative to invite him.

The topic brought up by Barkley was really not a gust of wind, it would disappear after a while. After Barkley talked to Malone in the air, Malone's fans were really excited.

"Since O'Neal can be invited by Chen Xiao to join the enemy, Karl can too. He is still better than most NBA players!"

For a time, the situation about Karl Malone coming to the Bobcats became more and more intense.

In the original Nets F7, Malone had the worst ending. He left the Jazz to pursue the championship. However, in the Nets, he was completely cheated by Chen Xiao's magical continuous "Miller Moments".

Not only did he find himself unable to face Stockton, Jazz fans also had no way to explain.

After paying such a high price, he got the worst result.

Forget it if you get the worst result. In the original F7, except for him and Carter, everyone else either had championships or later won championships. For example, Mourning returned to the Heat and won a championship.

You said this, after going around in a circle, he has offended a lot of people and made himself into a human being.

I thought he was in such a bad situation, but it was a consolation. Thanks to O'Neal's friendship and comradeship, he was too embarrassed to stay in the NBA. O'Neal promised to avenge him in the NBA.

But in the end, this gain that gave him some comfort was ruthlessly torn apart by O'Neal.

So when O'Neal announced that he was going to Chen Xiao's place, Ma Long was @crazy, but Ma Long never responded, but many of his friends said that Ma Long was very angry and that O'Neal broke his promise.

But the trend brought about by Barkley this time actually forced Malone out.

As one of the 20 greatest players in the NBA, Malone has been reclusive since retiring. His achievements are great, but the ending is disappointing, so he usually does not say or do anything publicly.

Malone hopes that everyone will forget his life, or even better, forget that there is a person like him in this world.

It can be seen how big a blow it was to him when F7 was hacked.

And such a person who hopes to disappear from this world actually takes the initiative to stand up, which shows how much Barkley has played this time.

"I'm not going to Charlotte. I'm staying in Salt Lake City now. It's great here. I won't accept any invitations to leave here. Never. Karl Malone as a player is in the past and never will be." return."

It was amid this intensifying noise that the NBA preseason started on October 4.

The Timberwolves play the Lakers. This is the opening game of the preseason. This should be a very explosive focus. The current Timberwolves and Lakers are on the level of Mars hitting the Earth.

But unfortunately, most of the audience in the United States is staring at the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers at home on October 5th.

On October 5, 2009, at 7:30 p.m., the Charlotte Bobcats players were already in a packed house. Half an hour before the game started, the place was already full.

The Bobcats fans at the scene were shouting "XO!" crazily on the sidelines! XO! XO! '

XO is the name of the combination of Chen Xiao and O'Neal. The nickname given by Barkley means that the combination of O'Neal and Chen Xiao made him as intoxicated as if he had been drunk with XO. He was intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

Don't mention it, Barkley's name is really quite appropriate.

At the very least, from the fans' point of view, Chen Xiao and O'Neal, who were once mortal enemies, really have a tacit understanding of their cooperation!

The tacit understanding is simply incredible, and the cooperation can be described as seamless. Even the cooperation between Kidd and Chen Xiao is not as tacit as the cooperation between Chen Xiao and O'Neal. It is entertaining and entertaining.

Why is this so?

According to O'Neill: "I know Chen too well. In the past seven years, the person who has appeared most in my mind is not any woman or other man, but Chen."

According to Chen Xiao, "I have played basketball like this before, and my basketball player told me that I can cooperate with Shaq in the best way."

Chen Xiao has played this kind of ball with the Nets before, and his partner at the time was Bage.

And Bago was replaced by O'Neal, which is a huge upgrade.

Moreover, the current Chen Xiao is far from what he used to be in terms of passing and football intelligence.

Therefore, the two of them didn't practice much, and they had such a chemical reaction right away. Although it was surprising, it was not that surprising.

It is precisely this kind of tacit understanding, coupled with the funny genes of the two, that makes their cooperation so exciting and enjoyable to watch.

Just like in history, Curry is very beautiful when he plays, whether he is iron or accurate. Curry's popularity is so high, it is really not an exaggeration.

In this regard, Xiao Du, who has about the same personal strength, is far behind.

The style of play dictates it, and the temperament dictates it.

Therefore, whether the Bobcats are the strongest team in the league is another matter for another time, but there is no doubt that the Bobcats are the most popular team in the entire NBA. The chemical reaction between the new and old generations of Chen Xiao and O'Neal makes them extremely popular. People are looking at him sideways, and naturally they are also looking at the Cavaliers players who are coming here for this game away from home.

To be honest, when Xiao Zhan saw the atmosphere of the Bobcat fans, he was so shocked that he forgot to say hello to Chen Xiao.

This is just a preseason game, and now it's like the finals.

Of course he knew that the combination of Chen Xiao and O'Neal was very popular, but he was still shocked that it was so popular.

In the playoffs last year, Cavaliers fans never reached this level.

During the appearance ceremony of this game, as the first starting player of the Bobcats to appear, the Bobcats fans at the scene did not give any boos, because they had no reason to boo. O'Neal did not surrender to the enemy on his own initiative, but was booed by Chen Xiao. Invited by their leader and favorite, Chen Xiao needs O'Neal, and they naturally need O'Neal.

Moreover, the feeling of having O'Neal is indeed very refreshing.

“In the not-too-distant past, he was the biggest enemy of our gods. Their grudges and stories have been with us for seven full years.

When the time comes to the eighth year, the greatest opponent has become the greatest teammate. The three greatest players in NBA history will unite in Charlotte, in the forest city, in the eyes of the elves. And as one! "

With the DJ's emotional shouting, the fans who were shouting "XO" crazily changed their slogans again.

"Shaq! Shaq! Shaq!"

"Michael! Michael! Michael!"

And hearing that the audience was so crazy, the DJ at the scene became even more emotional.

“They are all kings of their respective eras!

And now, these three kings from different eras belong to—us!

Charlotte! Fire! "

Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard the heart-rending shouts of the DJ at the scene.

This atmosphere is simply amazing!

You know, Chen Xiao hasn’t come out yet!

The DJ on site has already heated up the atmosphere to such an extent.

Fans are not machines. Can they maintain their extremely full emotions until Chen Xiao comes on stage?

It turns out they really can.

When Chen Xiao came out with a smile and waved his right hand, the Bobcats fans at the scene shouted 'Fire! ’ There is no intention of stopping at all.

In order to welcome the king of the Timber Wolf City back, they really worked hard.

But if it were other fans, I'm afraid they would fight like this.

Just like what the DJ shouted at the scene, Jordan, O'Neal, and Chen Xiao are the three most dominant people in the NBA in the past thirty years.

And now, the three of them are actually on the same team.

Do you think this is exciting?

Chen Xiao, O'Neal, Jordan, they actually fit together!

When a team like this appears, who wouldn't be crazy about this team?

Not to mention the Bobcats fans at the scene, even if the audience in front of the TV looked at Chen Xiao, Jordan and O'Neal appeared on the same screen, and the three people raised their hands together to form a circle, they were all very excited.

For NBA fans, this scene can be said to be a nuclear bomb. It is not a collision between Wheat, Kobe and the Wolf King, but a nuclear bomb that destroys them together!

Regarding the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, whether it was the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they did not pay attention to the result of this game.

Their focus was only on Chen Xiao O'Neal and Jordan on the coaching bench.

Regarding this situation, as the head coach of the Bobcats, Jordan is still very good at playing.

In the preseason, even if O'Neal starts, he won't be able to play for long. After all, he is still young. Although he is better maintained than in history, his body still looks a year or two younger than in history.

Therefore, O'Neal now is at most equivalent to when he was 35 years old in history.

Of course, in history, O'Neal can still average about 18+8 per game at the age of 36, and can average 30 minutes per game in the regular season.

As a player with such a heavy weight and height, to be able to be in such a state when he was 36 or 7 years old, O'Neal is actually a very talented player.

Of course, no matter how talented he is, Jordan must use it sparingly this season.

After all, O'Neal is the only player in history. In the history of the NBA, there is only one player who can put pressure on Yao Ming and block Yao Ming at the basket. This is the only player in the entire league now.

Faced with the threat of Yao Ming, Jordan really hopes that O'Neal can persist for a few more years.

Therefore, for the Bobcats and Jordan, when facing ordinary opponents, O'Neal actually does not need to use up much. The Bobcats' strength can cope with ordinary teams without any problems.

Therefore, O'Neal's main job most of the time this season is actually to control his diet and not to make himself fatter in a hurry.

Therefore, the usual games are games where Jordan makes fun of O'Neal.

And how to find fun for O'Neal?

This will require him to go on the court, cooperate with Chen Xiao, and attract the attention of the entire NBA.

As long as he can attract the attention of the United States, O'Neal will be happy.

If you keep him away from playing, even if it is to protect him, he will not be happy, and then he will take the initiative to find some fun for you that is beyond your control.

This game against the Cavaliers was Jordan's experiment on how to use O'Neal this season.

O'Neal played 15 minutes in this game, all with Chen Xiao.

As long as O'Neal is on the court, the Bobcats' offense revolves around Chen Xiao and O'Neal.

After the two men picked and rolled, Chen Xiao, under the protection of O'Neal, shot behind O'Neal's PP.

After O'Neal screened Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao took advantage of the situation and broke through the basket. After dunking with both hands, O'Neal picked up Chen Xiao who was hanging on the basket from behind.

After Chen Xiao received a pass from Kidd in a post-up single, he broke through and disrupted the Cavaliers' inside line. He passed a back pass and threw the basketball into the sky. O'Neal squeezed Oden and then dunked the ball. The pass was just right. , neither tall nor short, just right.

In these short 15 minutes, the Bobcats let the world see the dominance that the Bobcats have not had in the past few seasons this season.

He who wins the basket wins the world.

The Bobcats experienced this for the first time.

In last season's playoffs, Oden, who turned the Bobcats' interior upside down by himself, was at a loss when facing O'Neal in this game.

Because Oden's signature style of grabbing offensive rebounds after singles inside has been blocked in front of O'Neal.

And his shooting has not yet been stabilized and developed.

His footwork and skills around the basket are also rough, and he can't take advantage of his flexibility and agility.

In these 15 minutes, the Bobcats completely destroyed the Cavaliers from the inside out.

In last season's playoffs, the Cavaliers played quite fiercely with the Bobcats.

But now, the two teams faced off again, and it was simply one-sided.

"When the inside becomes the Bobcats' advantage, I can't think of any team that can be stronger than this Bobcats!"

Chen Xiao, O'Neal, Kidd, Roy, Rose, Aldridge, Granger, Battier, Barnes, Lopez, Roy Hibbert, DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Curry Jr. , Livingston.

At the end of the game, looking at the Bobcat players celebrating the victory on the court, Barkley on the sidelines was very excited, really very excited.

The XO group’s debut did not disappoint.

"The knight can't stop the intoxicating XO!"

In fact, not only the Cavaliers, but also the entire alliance can block many.

At the very least, in the preseason, the Bobcats won eight games!
