I’m Really Playing Basketball

The 2010-2011 NBA Finals is over, but the excitement about this year's finals has not diminished.

Especially Chen Xiao's terrifying 60+20+15 data in G5 and Jordan's words in that game that he almost knelt down to Chen Xiao, this really makes people want to discuss.

Many fans here in the United States said after the finals that this year's finals between the Bobcats and the Mavericks was one of the most exciting finals in NBA history.

Chen Xiao’s superb performance, Driver’s Golden Rooster independent performance, and the Bobcats and Mavericks players’ unity between defense and offense.

Indeed, this year's finals were played to a very high standard.

Especially when everyone thought that the Bobcats could easily defeat the Mavericks, the Mavericks actually forced the Bobcats into a desperate situation, which made Jordan think like "I almost knelt down." It can be seen that the Mavericks were in this situation. How much pressure the Finals puts on the Bobcats.

If it wasn't a real threat to the Bobcats' championship, how could Jordan want to kneel?

If his championship is so secure, even if Chen Xiao scores 100 points in a game, Jordan will only be amazed in the end, rather than feeling like he is facing a savior who saves his team.

Therefore, many people say that if they were not facing Chen Xiao, the Mavericks would have won the championship against any NBA team without Chen Xiao in this finals.

After all, Chen Xiao scored 60+20+15 in that game, and in the end the Bobcats only beat the Mavericks by less than five points.

In the entire history of the NBA, is there any team with stronger overall strength than the Bobcats? Are there any players stronger than Chen Xiao?

It's definitely gone.

Facing this Mavericks, whose role players are all gods and whose top player has transformed into a historical giant, except for Chen Xiao, really no one else can control it.

Duncan and Ron Howard's Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, and Kobe Bryant's Lakers in the Western Conference finals have proven this. These two teams are both historical teams.

Therefore, after this finals, the player whose evaluation has soared the fastest is actually not Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao's evaluation in the world of basketball is almost universally recognized as the first in history, and his evaluation in the NBA is basically second to none. After performing the most outstanding performance in history in this finals, Chen Xiao only ranked first in NBA hard power history and officially surpassed Jordan to become the number one player in terms of strength.

In fact, without this finals, in the United States, when it comes to the question of who is stronger, Chen Xiao or Jordan, almost half of the people think that Chen Xiaoqiang is the best. Now this issue is just that Chen Xiao has been recognized.

The person who really got the biggest improvement in status in this finals is the Mavericks' leading player Nowitzki.

Although Nowitzki has no MVP or FMVP in his career, Nowitzki's performance in this playoffs has been considered one of the best individual playoff performances in NBA history.

At this point, Nowitzki no longer has the nickname of European soft boss.

Of course, such an improvement and improvement in evaluation is definitely not what Nowitzki wants. What Nowitzki wants more is a championship.

However, it is so uncomfortable many times. It is so difficult for some people to compete for the championship.

But for some people, winning the championship looks so easy.

Looking at the photo of O'Neal laughing heartily and holding out five fingers on TV, on the Internet, and in the newspaper, I am afraid that many people will break their guard like the driver at this time.

This time the Bobcats won the championship, O'Neal's performance was indeed very important. It was not only O'Neal, but also Shane Battier, Kidd, Barnes and other veterans who took the greatest credit.

After a successful season, the Bobcats suddenly encountered huge pressure from the Mavericks. In the end, the only players who could stand beside Chen Xiao and maintain good combat effectiveness were only a few young players such as Roy and Rose, except for these veterans.

Many people now only see Chen Xiao's magic in G5, but if it weren't for Battier's three-point shooting and O'Neal's dominance at the basket, Chen Xiao would not have been able to get so many assists. At the same time, the Bobcats would not have been able to get so many assists. Winning.

And O'Neal's importance is not only in the finals, he is also an important cornerstone player for the Bobcats against the Heat.

Therefore, after the finals, the Bobcats didn't even have time to celebrate, so they first discussed contract extensions with several of the team's veterans.

Let's put it this way, because of the rise of the Bobcats' young players this season, the Bobcats' management tends to leave it to chance whether the other veterans will stay except O'Neal.

Of course it's good to stay, but it's also okay to leave or retire.

This summer, the Bobcats' biggest task is to renew Chen Xiao's contract.

But after receiving Chen Xiao's promise to definitely stay and sign the NBA's first 200 million contract worth 5 years and 200 million, after the Bobcats won the championship, the management's first important task was to renew the contracts of several veterans of the team.

Barnes, Battier, O'Neal, and Kidd, the four Bobcats veterans, all have their contracts expired after this season.

Barnes' contract renewal negotiation is simple. As Chen Xiao's direct younger brother, Barnes, who has been following Chen Xiao since the Cavaliers, reached a pre-signing agreement with the Bobcats on a three-year, $21 million fully guaranteed contract. .

With the signing of the league's new broadcast agreement, players' salaries will increase significantly next season. In this case, 21 million for three years is not low for Barnes, and certainly not high. The Bobcats are also interested in it. The reason why Chen Xiao rewarded Barnes with face.

After taking the lead in reaching a pre-signed contract with Barnes, the Bobcats' management successively reached a pre-signed contract with Keith before the free market opened on July 1.

Johnny is 38 years old this year, but judging from his performance in the playoffs and finals, he really has a lot of oil in his body. When playing against the Bucks, he even made a cameo appearance to defend Durant. , and the effect was pretty good. When playing in the finals, he also temporarily defended Nowitzki.

He can pass and defend, and his previously unstable three-pointers have become more reliable. Such an old goblin-like boss can also serve as a guest assistant coach on the team, working two jobs with one salary. Therefore, the Bobcats are very I hope Boss Ji can stay for two more years.

Therefore, Boss Ji quickly completed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Bobcats.

As for Battier, this is a little more complicated than Key, because Battier's performance in the finals was really outstanding. In the game between G5 and the Mavericks, Battier scored 5 three-pointers in a single game. In this finals, Battier's three-point shooting percentage was as high as over 55%. In addition, he also has extremely high intelligence on defense. He can defend alone, assist in defense, and also cause offensive fouls for opponents. He can also defend superstars like Durant and Nowitzki. It can be said that such a role player is something that many teams in the league are eager to grab.

Moreover, Battier is still 33 years old, which is not too old for a player with his style of play.

Therefore, after the finals, many NBA teams want to poach Battier.

For example, the most positive ones are the two little guys Durant and Curry who have been staying in Charlotte during the Finals.

These two little guys took advantage of their very close relationship with Bobcat to get really in-depth contact with Shane.

Historically, Xiao Du admired Battier very much. In 2011, when Battier's contract expired, he reached an invitation with Battier, but Detonator felt that Battier was not worth the contract, and it ended up being in vain. They gave Battier to the Heat, and in the finals, the Thunder finally let Harden defend James precisely because they lost Battier, who could defend James. At the same time, they also lost Battier, who could defend James. Lant opened up the three-point singles space and lost the finals.

If Battier was not with the Heat but with the Thunder, perhaps the 2011 championship in history would have been the Thunder.

In this time and space, Adu and Battier also admire each other very much, and even appreciate each other more because of their closer relationship.

Therefore, when Battier was negotiating to renew his contract with the Bobcats, he also made it clear to the Bobcats that he felt that the Bucks' invitation was very sincere.

More importantly, not only did he have a personal relationship with Durant, but he also felt that he still had more oil in his body, and the Bobcats couldn't give him that much playing time.

Based on Battier's performance in this year's finals, he will be in the full middle class wherever he goes. Staying in the Bobcats can certainly bring him closer to the championship, but during the regular season last season, Jordan focused on training Jimmy Butler and DeRozan. Waiting for young players, coupled with the fact that Granger is in the starting lineup, his playing time will have to be shared with Barnes, which shows what his time was like in the regular season last season.

Battier is not a player like O'Neal. O'Neal feels that it is good to rest and have fun during the regular season. Playing in the game is really not as comfortable as taking a break to brag.

But Battier felt that if he took the money and didn't work, he would be idle and uncomfortable.

Therefore, Battier's request is that he hopes that he can be the team's second pick at the small forward position. However, Jordan and the Bobcats are very hesitant about this request.

Regardless of the mediocre performance of DeRozan and Jimmy Butler in the playoffs, the strength of these two sophomores is obviously at the stage of taking off. How can it be possible to reduce the development of the two at this time?

After all, Battier is already 33 years old, and these two young people, maybe, they will be fine in the playoffs next season?

Since we can't give Battier the playing time he wants, we can only bless him.

Therefore, before the free market opened on July 1, the Bobcats knew that Battier was leaving, and it was the Bucks. He would sign a fully guaranteed mid-level contract with the Bucks for 27 million in three years.

After Battier encountered difficulties in renewing his contract, the Bobcats also encountered difficulties in renewing O'Neal's contract.

O'Neal has no intention of going to other teams.

But because the season has just ended and he is already 39 years old, contract renewal negotiations with the Bobcats have been postponed.

The shark's words were vague, and Jordan and the Bobcats' management didn't know his specific plans.

In Charlotte, in the hotel house where O'Neal has rented for a long time, Perry Rogers also didn't understand O'Neal's thoughts.

"Shaq, are you planning to leave the Bobcats now? This is a dynasty opportunity."

Faced with his agent's confusion, O'Neal smiled, and the smile really felt a bit mocking: "Perry, it's that kid who's missing the dynasty. Do you think I'm missing the dynasty?"

"..."

O'Neal's words shocked Perry Rogers next to him. As an NBA agent, he is also a human being. The meaning of O'Neal's words was so obvious. How could he not be clear?

Thinking about how happy O'Neal and Chen Xiao were as brothers and sisters in front of the media in the first two seasons, he thought that O'Neal and Chen Xiao had reconciled.

After all, O'Neal did not express any dissatisfaction with Chen Xiao not only externally, but also in private.

Shaq, is this too hidden?

This mentality is too small!

He actually wanted to undermine Chen Xiao at the most critical moment of Chen Xiao's pursuit of the dynasty!

First drag Chen Xiao and the Bobcats, and wait until centers who can match Yao Ming sign with other teams, then will he announce his retirement?

Thinking of this, Perry Rogers felt a little chilled. Shaq, as expected, turned completely bad after the Nets' failure. He used to be petty and a little evil, but now he is really more than petty. It can be called a bad pus!

Of course, O'Neal naturally didn't know what his agent was thinking. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, the smile on O'Neal's face became even more disdainful.

"Another dynasty? Let's talk about it first, haha."

Because he had previously signed a new five-year, 200 million contract with the Bobcats, Chen Xiao left the United States with honor after the championship celebration with the Bobcats.

Also traveling with them were Roy and Rose.

Chen Xiao has signed with First Sports because his contract with Hook has expired, so he now needs to have a mission in Asia in the summer.

In the contract with Hook, he took the money and did not work, while First Sports counted him and Luo Ge and James Wade as their own property. This could not be done like this anymore. Although he was not short of money, he raised the issue with Wade and James The idea of ​​​​killing the hook is also supported. In this case, it is naturally very hard.

Roy and Rose are also contracted stars of First Sports. They are very popular in China. Especially after this finals, so many young people in the Bobcats collectively dropped out. However, Rose and Roy are still reliable, making the two His popularity in China has also soared.

In addition, the Bobcats have just won the championship, and the two are at their highest popularity. Chen Xiao wants to bring them to China to show off their reputation.

When Jordan and the Bobcats encountered difficulties signing contracts in the United States, they naturally communicated with Chen Xiao at all times.

He had a premonition that Battier was going to the Bucks. Battier was indeed not that happy last season.

And O'Neal is still on vacation and enjoying life. This also echoes O'Neal's personality. He is expected to go to Los Angeles soon and deliberately appeared in front of Boss Ke with five fingers raised.

And soon, another very bad news came from Jordan. Stoudemire refused to meet with Jordan. According to Stoudemire's agent, he had no interest in staying in the Bobcats.

Jordan hoped that Chen Xiao could communicate with Stoudemire, but Stoudemire also didn't answer Chen Xiao's call.

Stoudemire decided to give up the Bird Rights and leave the Bobcats. It can only be said that in this year's finals, Joe's formation in G5 hurt Stoudemire's proud soul.

Is it Stoudemire's fault?

No wonder, in this G5, he was directly transformed from a player competing for the second place to the fourth player on the team after Rose and Roy.

This is too embarrassing.

And can you blame Jordan?

Of course, it’s not surprising. Judging from the final result of G5, if the formation is not changed and Chen Xiao is not placed at the fourth position, the Bobcats will definitely kneel in this game and will definitely kneel in this finals.

Therefore, I can only blame the Mavericks for being so amazing and putting too much pressure on the Bobcats.

After Stoudemire clearly rejected the Bobcats, the entire United States soon knew that Stoudemire was leaving the Bobcats. For a time, the entire NBA was shocked.

This is Xiao Si!

As Stoudemire entered the free market, the biggest free agent was born.

Well, although Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge, Yao Ming, and Duncan are all free this year, they will definitely not leave.

Therefore, Stoudemire has become the biggest name.

Of course, for a while, the Bobcats' dynasty next season also cast a huge shadow.

At the same time that news of Stoudemire leaving the Bobcats was flying around, O'Neal, who was currently on vacation in Los Angeles, suddenly announced that he would end his NBA player career and become a full-time basketball anchor.

Jordan, who was already worried about the Bobcats' contract extension, was really not calm at this time.

He can still accept Stoudemire leaving. After all, letting Chen Xiao play power forward in the finals can also make up for the loss of Stoudemire leaving. In the playoffs, when he wants interior offense and organization, he can just play Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao The inside combination with O'Neal is invincible.

But what happened when O'Neal suddenly announced his retirement?

Didn't you say you were hesitating?

Don't you mean it's blurry?

On the other side, Perry Rogers was also shocked. Tyson Chandler and Kwame Brown haven't announced their whereabouts yet. Why did Shaq announce his retirement?

Is it because your conscience is still there?

If this is the case, Shaq can still handle it.

only……

"Hahahaha, the beginning is the end. I like this title so much. Sorry, Perry, I really can't help it. I want to stab him with the hardest knife on his bloody body right now!"

"..."

Perry Rogers wanted to take back what he just thought.
