I’m Really Playing Basketball

The emergence of the concept of Twilight of the Gods is actually quite confusing for the current NBA.

Because the Bobcats, Heat, Lakers, Timberwolves and other teams are clearly unsustainable.

You may not believe it, but none of the super strong teams in the NBA last season have healthy salaries now.

Even the Bucks, who were the healthiest in the past, were directly GG after Durant renewed his contract for 5 years and 145 million, and Curry renewed his contract for 5 years and 110 million.

After all, the two of them combined account for 50 million in annual salary space, plus Iguodala, Nene, Ray Allen and other tens of millions of contracts, as well as Braxon, Marion and other contracts close to tens of millions, Xiong The Deer, like the Bobcats, do not have the luxury tax line this season. This is really thanks to the fact that the combined starting salary of Durant and Curry is less than 50 million, and Ray Allen took a salary cut last season.

Last season, Ray Allen signed a five-year contract with the Bucks with an annual salary of 50 million with decreasing annual salary.

It can only be said that Ray Allen and the Bucks have known about this for a long time, so they have been prepared for it.

Therefore, players such as Nene and Marion all signed non-increasing contracts. This makes the Bucks, although very dangerous, still the healthiest among several super strong teams.

In fact, it's not that teams such as the Heat and Bobcats don't want to prepare in advance. In fact, objective conditions do not allow it.

After all, Chen Xiao, Wade and Yao Ming Anthony are not expiring rookie contracts with big contracts, while Curry and Durant are expiring rookie contracts with big contracts, so they have more room for maneuver.

But no matter what, the Bucks are healthy, but they are still dancing on the edge of a knife. They don't want to pay taxes. They have basically locked up the space. In the future, they can only have fewer people every year and will not add more people.

Therefore, for these teams, next season will be the only season in which they can maintain their ace lineup and maintain their strongest posture. In this case, do you think these teams will fight? It will definitely be I will try my best to give it a try.

Therefore, the competition in the NBA next season will definitely be quite fierce, even tragic.

And compared with the miserable seasons in previous years, there will be a lot more uncertainty in the NBA next season. How can I put this?

For example, the whole world knows that the Heat want to retain the Big Three of Wade, Yao Ming, and Anthony. The other players can only be paid with minimum salary or rookies. So, if you are Pat Riley, you will clean up the team. Those outstanding mid-level players, or are they cleaning out superstars like Anthony?

Of course, most people believe that outstanding mid-level players such as O'Neal and Barbosa will leave the Heat next season, but not everyone thinks that Anthony will leave.

This is actually very easy to understand. If Anthony is retained, the Heat will not have any room to operate in the future, but if Anthony is traded, the Heat will have more room.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the Heat will be accompanied by rumors that Anthony may be traded, O'Neal, and Barbosa may suddenly leave the team throughout the season. The average team will have a mental breakdown when faced with such overwhelming messages. .

Historically, the reason why the Bulls led by Ben Gordon collapsed was because of the trade message with Kobe. In the end, the young Bull with unlimited potential died suddenly.

This is the Heat's problem, and it's the Bobcats' problem too.

It is said that Rose will definitely leave next season, so the question is, why can't Granger leave?

Granger's performance in last season's finals was quite subpar. I thought he was already a superstar, but in that finals, the whole world felt that he was still a little short of the superstar level.

On the contrary, Rose, a younger player, dares to fight and fight no matter what, and dares to take responsibility and complete the team's important tasks. He looks like a more advanced player.

Under such circumstances, why must it be Rose who leaves?

Perhaps Granger is the player most likely to leave the Bobcats. However, Granger has just signed a salary-cut contract with such a huge sacrifice. If he is taken away like this, what will happen to the fans and the rest of the team? think?

Jordan has always wanted the team order and culture in Vichy, does he still want it?

In short, in the NBA next season, in addition to fierce competition with each other, the internal disputes between each team will also be very complicated. It is even very likely that the team with the best performance next season may be the best player in handling internal disputes within the team. Team.

This is definitely no joke.

In early October, with the return of Chen Xiao, the Bobcats began the new season under the attention of the United States and the entire NBA.

No matter how many difficulties the Bobcats have this season due to this new labor agreement, the most important thing for Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players is to defend the title next season and establish a dynasty.

For this goal, Chen Xiao could see that the Bobcats were very motivated from top to bottom.

Especially Granger, whose performance in last season's finals was very criticized.

Granger watched Chen Xiao grow up step by step.

Granger has many, many problems, such as bad breath. During the 2010 World Championships, he almost offended the entire Europe because of his bad breath.

Although his junior brother Durant and master Jordan also have bad mouths, these two people have bad mouths and give people a cute feeling. This is really not a joke. Durant and Jordan are candid with bad mouths and sincere with bad mouths. , some people will hate it, but there are also many people who like it very much.

The same goes for Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao is recognized as the king of trash talk in the NBA, but Chen Xiao has stopped talking recently.

But Granger, his bad mouth is often disliked by everyone. It is unanimous that when this guy has a bad mouth, it is impossible at all. When he had a bad mouth in Europe, even people here in the United States were madly dissing him. .

Of course, in addition to this, Granger has many other minor problems.

But it cannot be denied that although Granger has many minor problems, there is one thing that he does not have at all, and that is his love for the Bobcats and his gratitude to Chen Xiao and Jordan.

He knows that he is not a genius like his junior brother Durant. Therefore, he is able to achieve his current achievements in the NBA, including All-Star, All-NBA, championship, and annual salary of tens of millions. All of this is because of Chen Xiao. and Jordan.

For him, it doesn't matter that he is DIS DISSED by the whole world, or that the whole world calls him a fool.

As long as Chen Xiao and Jordan recognize that his existence is indispensable.

But after last season's finals, many people across the NBA questioned his position in the Bobcats and his role next to Chen Xiao and Jordan.

No way, in the finals, Battier performed better than him and was even more indispensable.

And this was the voice that Granger couldn't stand the most, because these people actually said that he was dispensable in the Bobcats.

What makes him even more unbearable is that when the new season is about to start, when everyone is hyping that Rose will leave the Bobcats next season, it actually appears that his leaving is the best choice, and as soon as this voice comes out, he immediately occupies the mainstream of public opinion.

Obviously, if they had to choose one from the other, most would choose Rose.

This made Granger very, very intolerable.

Therefore, when the Bobcats' training camp opened, Chen Xiao watched Granger who was trying very hard to prove himself in training.

In fact, Granger usually works very hard. Although he is not at the level of Durant who has no other skills except basketball, he is definitely not a lazy person.

Now, Granger's efforts are even comparable to Durant's.

Moreover, even in training, in order to show his value, Granger must fight for every ball.

In fact, Chen Xiao feels that this is unnecessary.

Although Granger is younger than Chen Xiao, he is also a 28-and-a-half-year-old player, almost 29 years old. For him, there is actually no need to be like this, because his potential is basically unable to allow him to continue to improve. .

Chen Xiao said this not to look down on Granger, but to state a fact.

Compared with talent and athletic ability, he is far inferior to Durant who has the same style as him. He can develop his talents and abilities to such an extent, which is already perfect.

Similarly, he cannot compare with Luo Ge in terms of golf intelligence, which also prevents him from growing infinitely with the help of experience cards like Luo Ge did and constantly breaking the barriers of talent.

It can be said that the current Granger, his talent and golf intelligence have made his strength stop here.

Therefore, what he can do now is not to train hard and try his best to prove others are wrong, but to adjust his mentality and use his strength more reasonably and efficiently.

His strength is actually not low.

But it's obvious that Granger doesn't think so. After last season's finals, he held his breath, and now the dispute between him and Rose has made this breath even more depressed.

He just wants to break through and change his destiny. He doesn't want to adjust his mentality. He starts from his own strength, plays reasonably, and performs reasonably.

If instead of improving one's strength, one changes the method of using one's strength, wouldn't this just prove that those people are right and that one is indeed not as good as Rose?

Doesn't that mean what these people said is that Rose is the best player to stay next to Chen Xiao and Jordan?

This is definitely the last thing he wants to accept. This is a matter of his existence or not. He is absolutely uncompromising and will not accept his fate.

Even if Chen Xiao and Jordan asked him to accept his fate and compromise, he would not be able to accept it.

What's more, neither Chen Xiao nor Jordan asked him to compromise.

There is no way, in the NBA, no one will stop you from becoming stronger or from training hard.

Although Chen Xiao and Jordan were both worried about Granger's situation, they really couldn't stop it.

Especially Jordan, not only did he not stop him, but he also appreciated his apprentice's hard work and stubbornness. This is simply his character.

Didn’t he rise up among those media experts who kept slapping them in the face?

When he was in college, many people looked down on him and thought he was just like that. Later, didn't he break down one barrier after another through his own efforts?

Talent, who knows if Granger also has hidden talents that others can't see.

So, facing Granger, who has transformed into a desperate man this season, do you dare to say that Rose has no ideas?

Rose also doesn't want to leave the Bobcats now.

For Rose, a player who wants to grow into the most perfect player, being with Chen Xiao and Jordan is his most desired choice.

Chen Xiao helped him train defense and ball control, and Jordan helped him train shooting, breakthrough, and offense.

Being with Chen Xiao and Jordan, he felt that he was growing up very quickly and was very happy.

He doesn't want this journey to end like this. Maybe he will fly alone in the future, but not now.

Now he just wants to stay by Chen Xiao and Jordan's side and continue to sign various skills, and then continue to become the strongest.

Since Granger was attacking him so desperately, how could Rose choose to retreat?

After all, are you the only one working hard in this world?

I, Derrick Rose, I, the Young Rose, don’t know how to work hard?

For a moment, because of Granger's desperate efforts, Rose also started working hard.

The competition between Granger and Rose caused the Bobcats to become crazy inward.

There's no way, if these two people are working so hard, others can't just watch, right?

The Bobcats' situation makes Jordan even more happy.

He was so happy that even Chen Xiao's worries were unnecessary.

"Chen, don't worry. Derek and Danny are not glass people. They are very tolerant of rough things. They are different from Brandon. We don't have to worry about anything. Now they have entered a very virtuous cycle! "

Faced with Jordan's thoughts, can Chen Xiao have other thoughts?

There is definitely an idea, but there is no way to say it, because Jordan and Ross Granger cannot be convinced at all.

Moreover, Chen Xiao actually felt in his heart that what Jordan said made sense.

Neither Granger nor Rose had any major injuries in their careers, unlike Roy who lost his knees when he entered the NBA.

Therefore, he actually does not need to protect these two people like he protects Roy.

What's more, the competition between these two this season has really stirred up the Bobcats' waters and is very dynamic.

Why do you say that?

Because among the Bobcat players who followed Rose and Granger, a dark horse suddenly emerged, Jimmy Butler!

This third-year rookie is even crazier than these two.

Seeing Jimmy Butler like this, Rose and Granger were both a little dumbfounded. They thought it was a competition between the two, but unexpectedly, "Chen Yaojin" came out from behind.

As big brother-level players on the team, how could the two of them be willing to be surpassed by a little brother in this regard?

The two of us have to work hard. If in the end neither of us is as good as a younger brother, wouldn't it be a joke?

Seeing Jimmy Butler, Rose, and Granger acting like this on the training ground, Chen Xiao didn't know what to say.

The two of them were already entangled in darkness.

These three people are so involved, to what extent are they going to get involved?

He is happy when a hard-working machine appears in the team. Logically speaking, now that there are three players on the team, he should be three times as happy and happy.

Why does he feel frightened now?

Because he was really scared.

In the end, like Jordan, I can only keep praying in my heart. Fortunately, these three hard-working robots are not glass men like Roy.

Fortunately among misfortunes.

otherwise……

I can't imagine it.
