I’m Really Playing Basketball

When the time passed from 2010 to 2011, in the new year, the atmosphere of the Bobcats became more relaxed and active to the naked eye.

The coaching staff of the Bobcats, who had been worried about half a season before, put aside all their worries and no longer conveyed the nervousness and frowning emotions to the team, and began to work at full capacity for these star players, role players and other players of the Bobcats. Young players create a more reasonable and suitable rotation.

First of all, Stoudemire, Roy, Granger and Rose, the four players who are desperately competing for the second place in the team, cannot play in every game.

In the next 50 games, the four of them can only play three at most in each game. In other words, in the next 50 games, they only need to play three-quarters of the games. In other words, They only need to play 38 games in the next half of the season.

Including the 30 games they have played in the previous 32 games, the number of games they have played this season is about 68. Of course, in order to make the number of appearances look better, Jordan will definitely let each of them play this season. 70 games.

In this case, their competition will not put too much pressure on the opportunities and data of the players next to them. At the same time, they themselves can also get a chance to rest without being too stressed.

To be honest, if they don't relax at all and fight for the regular season, Jordan will really be worried about their future performance in the playoffs.

At the same time, with the opportunities they have freed up, Jordan can also give young players such as Cousins, Roy Shumpert, Curry Jr., DeRozan and Jimmy Butler more time and opportunities.

There are also veterans such as Battier and Barnes, who are equivalent to O'Neal and Kidd, allowing them to assume more leadership responsibilities in the regular season. As for playing time and opportunities, as long as they maintain good condition and feel for the game, That's it.

Of course, as the leader and anchor of the Bobcats, Chen Xiao must play in every game.

Otherwise, such a large-scale rotation, and sending experienced veterans out of the rotation almost as gifts, is very dangerous, and it is difficult to guarantee the record.

With Chen Xiao holding the line, Jordan dared to be so bold and play like this in the regular season.

Of course, another part of Jordan's confidence is that the four of them, Roy, Rose, Stoudemire, and Granger, are really suitable and very suitable. Any combination of three or three will be very suitable and will not let them down. People feel inappropriate.

Of course, even with such confidence, Jordan never thought that the Bobcats' record this season would be as bad as last season.

After all, this kind of rotation will indeed affect the team's record. As long as the impact is not big, as long as it can maintain the number one spot in the league, Jordan feels that it doesn't matter.

To be honest, after the previous thirty-two games, the Bobcats still have a huge advantage.

As long as there is no losing streak, the Bobcats' first place in the league is still stable.

However, even so, when Jordan adopted such a large-scale rotation, he was still a little worried when he played the Timberwolves in the first game on January 5.

Logically speaking, the Bobcats had almost a week off before this game, so there was no need to rotate.

But in the end, Jordan rotated Rose.

The Timberwolves are very strong, have a strong lineup, and work well together. They are an absolute super team.

Therefore, facing such a team, Jordan should be worried.

However, Jordan's worries were soon dispelled, because in this away game, the Bobcats beat the Timberwolves 33 to 20.

Throughout the first quarter, the Bobcats played 10 players, and except for Jimmy Butler, 9 of them scored.

Almost every Bobcat player who goes up is fighting bravely and competing for the first place.

Especially Curry Jr., who replaced Rose in the starting lineup. In this game, he made 10 of 18 shots and 5 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 28 points and 11 assists. Rose who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines was stunned. Rondo, who faced off against Curry in this game, was stunned by Curry.

In the game against the Timberwolves, Jordan was very particular about rotating Rose.

The current offense directed by Long is just like that, and Curry can focus all his energy on the offensive end.

Not to mention, Curry's touch was really good in this game. After holding the ball in a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire or others, he could score with just a throw. In fact, Rondo's defense cannot be blamed for this.

It can only be said that Jordan's rotation and Curry's participation in such an important game stimulated and inspired Curry.

It has to be said that he is indeed a player with a big heart.

After all, when he was a rookie last season, he also hit three-pointers in the playoffs.

Therefore, Jordan was originally worried about this game between the Bobcats and the Timberwolves, but he did not expect that the suspense would be lost after the first quarter.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Timberwolves 125-108 in an away game.

After playing the Timberwolves away from home, the Bobcats returned to home and defeated the Wizards, Grizzlies and Bulls one after another. However, when they played the Celtics away from home on January 14, the Bobcats lost after rotating Stoudemire. The ball is gone.

In this game, the offensive status of other Bobcats was not very good. In the end, the Bobcats lost 114 to 119. In this game, Rubio hit 7 three-pointers. You said, the gods are like this, it is difficult for you not to lose.

However, if I am not in good condition and the opponent has another amazing game, losing is nothing.

And this kind of loss is acceptable to Jordan and the Bobcats.

It can only be said that under this rotation strategy, Jordan and the Bobcats have completely reassured themselves after these previous games.

Originally, the four star players of the Bobcats were conflicted at first. Who doesn't want to play every game?

But in the end, they found that with this strategy of playing three games and taking one rest, their data was not only not affected, but also got better, so they accepted it.

Indeed, there is no need to really fight with your teammates to make a difference.

Or this slightly controlled competition is more appropriate.

Throughout January, the Bobcats were not as stable as before due to a large number of rotations. However, in the 15 games in January, the Bobcats still achieved a record of 13 wins and 2 losses. The two losses were away games, and the away game was lost to Kyle. Special people, they lost back-to-back away games to the Clippers led by Xiao Pao. This Clippers game was the last of the Bobcats' six consecutive away games. The game was really difficult to play.

After January, the Bobcats have played 47 games and have a record of 43 wins and 4 losses. To be honest, this record is quite amazing.

However, January’s Best of the Month was finally no longer a player from the Bobcats, but was taken away by Kevin Durant of the Bucks.

Last month, Durant led the Bucks to a record of 13 wins and 2 losses. His own statistics were 30.4 points, 6 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks. Both the statistics and record were excellent.

Chen Xiao's statistics last month were still average, while James Jr.'s statistics were very high, averaging 31 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game. However, his record was slightly worse. He played 15 games this month with 11 wins and 4 losses. , relatively speaking, slightly average.

However, considering that the Cavaliers team that Xiao Zhan belongs to is indeed slightly weaker, Xiao Zhan's performance this season is actually very good.

So far this season in the Eastern Conference, the first place is the Bobcats, the second place is the Bucks, the third place is the Heat, and the fourth place is not the Raptors, but the Cavaliers.

This season, with the departure of O'Neal Jr., Nash is indeed one year older, and Laga Bell's condition has plummeted. Although Josh Smith has grown up and Rashard Lewis is still strong, Milley Xiqi does have the feeling of being alone in the east.

It is precisely because of this change in the situation that many people say that the league's MVP this season is likely to be one between Durant and James.

Although the Bobcats are first in the league and are very stable, Chen Xiao's statistics are average. In addition, considering the past experience of Jordan losing the MVP even if he wins 69 games the next season after 72 wins, the Bobcats will not refresh history again this season. With the best record, it is almost impossible for Chen Xiao to win the MVP.

The Heat's Wade and Yao Ming also suffered a large decline in their records because they needed to work more appropriately with Anthony.

The Bobcats, Heat, and Raptors have all seen their records decline this season.

In this case, the voices of Durant and James, the leading players of the Bucks and Cavaliers teams, are very high.

In the competition between the two, Durant has a slight advantage.

After all, Xiao Du is Hook's current leader. If Xiao Du's competition with Wade for MVP last season was still a forced competition with Wade, then competing with Xiao Zhan for MVP this season is truly qualified.

Of course, no matter who wins, Xiao Du or Xiao Zhan, they both deserve it.

So far, that seems to be the case.

Of course, the season is still very long and it’s hard to say what the future holds.

After all, Luo is quite competitive in the West. Since Luo's departure crisis this summer, the Spurs have also been stimulated. Their performance this season has been outstanding and they are currently No. 1 in the Western Conference.

After all, Parker and Ginobili don't want to leave now. They really call the Spurs home, and the Spurs have completed their unity for the first time.

However, although Luo Ge has an excellent record with the Spurs, everyone knows Luo Ge's style of play and his data is difficult to compare with Jan Du.

Therefore, in the MVP rankings, Luo Ge is the third runner-up.

After January, the Bobcats' players did not win the Player of the Month award. This is not good news, but on the first day of February, the Bobcats got good news.

In the 2011 Los Angeles All-Star All-Star voting, Chen Xiao of the Bobcats once again won the All-Star vote.

At that time, the Eastern All-Star starters were center Yao Ming, forwards Durant and James, and guards Chen Xiao and Roy.

Chen Xiao and Roy were selected as All-Star starters.

Well, this kid Wade lost again in the All-Star starting lineup. However, this guy didn’t care at all. He didn’t canvass for votes on his social media, nor participated in CCTV programs, nor took advantage of Dayao’s resources. Therefore, he deserved to lose. .

In addition, this year's All-Star starters in the Western Conference are center Duncan, forward Garnett, Yi Jianlian, and guards Kobe Bryant and Ron Howard.

It is worth mentioning that UAE has been selected as the starter for two consecutive seasons.

If there was still a lot of controversy last season, there will be much less controversy this season. After all, Anthony went to the East. At the same time, this season, the 27-year-old Arab League continued his good form in the World Championships to the NBA. This season, he finally He broke through his own limits and averaged over 20 points per game.

Under his leadership, the Jazz have also performed very well this season. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference behind the Spurs, Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks, and Clippers. This record is outstanding.

The United Arab Emirates may even have a chance to be selected for the best team this season if they maintain this record and data.

Now the whole world knows how difficult it is to make the 15-man NBA All-Star team. It is even harder to make the All-Star team. After all, there are 24 players and 15 people. Especially in the Western Conference, it is even more difficult. In previous years, the Western Conference usually only had four or five players. .

Therefore, even if the Arab League cannot lead the Jazz into the top four in the Western Conference, there is still a chance.

By the way, Millsap, the younger brother who used to carry bags for the Arab League in Jazz, also exploded this season. Who would have thought that he could become a player averaging 18 points per game?

I have to say that the Bobcats still care about the Jazz. After all, the Jazz not only have Alian and Hua Tsai, but also Joe's son, Jordan.

A week later, in the All-Star substitute list announced by the league on February 8, all the Bobcats' remaining star players were selected.

Stoudemire, Rose and Granger were selected as All-Star reserves.

Last season, the Bobcats had six people selected to the All-Stars, and this season there are also five people. It has to be said that the Bobcats are indeed in full swing in the NBA now.

By the way, Aldridge, who left the Bobcats, also got his wish and was selected to the All-Stars with the Suns, while Randolph still missed the All-Stars...

The All-Star is an important ceremony for most players in the NBA, but for Chen Xiao, a 29-year-old veteran who has played in the NBA for nine seasons, the All-Star has actually become a season-long experience for him. and a place to cultivate and relax.

Because of the success of last year's All-Star Japanese and Korean Idol Competition, this time, the NBA has added two more teams, the Chinese Idol and American Idol teams.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is now not only the coach of the Japanese and Korean idol teams, but also the coach of the Chinese idol team, although Chen Xiao only trained the Chinese idols for one day during the All-Stars.

The coach of the American Idol team is Luo Ge.

In the end, during this year's NBA All-Star Weekend, the four-nation idol competition, the American Idol team won the championship, and Rihanna won the MVP.

I have to say that this group of black female idols in the United States are really not just chasing Luo Ge these years.

However, after the game, an interesting thing happened. After Rihanna won the MVP, she took the opportunity to hug Brother Luo and kissed him again and again. Luo was so angry that Rihanna's eldest sister Beyoncé was on the other side. She was very angry and resentful on social media and said: "Rihanna doesn't love basketball at all, she just likes Ron."

Of course, this was not meant for netizens to hear. It seems that Chen Xiao is not very strong in palace fighting. It seems that Beyoncé said this to Brother Luo.

You love basketball so much. You definitely don't like a Bitchi who pretends to love basketball just to get close to you, right?

For a time, the NBA's limelight in the United States was even directly stolen by Rihanna and Beyoncé who were fighting over Brother Luo's palace.

In recent years, many black female stars have actually fought and torn over Luo Ge. In the end, it seems that the ones who are left with the best chance of winning are Rihanna and Beyoncé.

After all, Brother Luo is already 29 years old, and it is indeed time for him to make a decision.

Amid the quarrel between the two divas, the All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles ended with a bang.

In the end, at this All-Star Weekend, Beasley won the MVP of the Rookie Game, while Durant won the MVP of the All-Star Weekend. By the way, this time the head coach of the Eastern Conference during the All-Star Weekend was the Bucks. Head coach Terry Porter.

The two brothers Beasley and Durant have a rookie MVP and a regular season MVP. I have to say that they are indeed very interesting.

After the All-Star Game, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players returned to the NBA regular season.

Finally, on April 13, the Bobcats defeated the Eagles 126-110 at home, ending all 82 regular season games this season.

This season, the Bobcats' record has been more ups and downs than last season due to their extensive rotation and strategy of cultivating the team's young people.

But still achieved the league's first record of 71 wins and 11 losses.

At the same time, the Bobcats this season are also the only team in the league to win 70 games.

By the way, this is also the first time in the history of the Bobcats that they have recorded a record of 70+ or ​​more for two consecutive seasons.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Bobcats' regular season record this season has not set a new historical record, the regular season record of 70+ for two consecutive seasons is still amazing enough.

In the eyes of many people, this is a sign of dominance.

As a team that wants to build a dynasty, such dominance is indeed very necessary.

With such a record, after you win the championship, your championship is a matter of course, and it is not due to luck.

Therefore, after the regular season ended, the NBA's major media and experts wildly praised the dominance of Chen Xiao and the Bobcats when summing up.

"I think now we can give the title of the championship and the number one player in NBA history to Wonder Boy!"

Good guy, last season Barkley gave Chen Xiao an award in advance when he defeated the Heat.

As for Pippen, this award was given right after the regular season. How impatient it is...

Well, maybe Mr. Pi can't wait to see Chen Xiao and Jordan fight in front of the whole world.

However, although Mr. Pi's intentions are bad, his words cannot be completely ignored.

Especially for other super teams in the league who are aiming for the championship.

To be honest, with the Bobcats' rotation this season, it is quite shocking that the Bobcats can win 70 games again.

Therefore, after the regular season ended, Kobe said directly in an interview: "Don't say we are favorites. Apart from the Bobcats, there is no second favorite in the NBA."

Barkley later quoted Ko's words and said another famous saying with a smile: "The strongest team in the NBA now is the complete Bobcats, the second strongest team is the Bobcats with Granger in rotation, and the third strongest team is the Bobcats who have rotated Granger. The team rotated Rose's Bobcats...it wasn't until the sixth strongest team that it was the turn of other teams such as the Heat and Lakers, so you are not here to compete for second place, you are here to compete for sixth place."

Is this a joke?

It's a joke, but not quite a joke.

At the very least, facing Barkley's words, Brother Ke, idols, Luo Ge, Deng Dai, Wade, Dayao, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Du, they all couldn't laugh.
