I’m Really Playing Basketball

Historically, the 2011-2012 NBA season did not start the new season until Christmas 2011 due to delays in the labor agreement, which made the 2011-2012 season a veritable shortened season.

But in this time and space, because the NBA cake has suddenly become so big, and both labor and management are eager to share this big cake, how could there be such irreconcilable disputes that prevent the NBA from proceeding?

It can only be said that as long as the cake is big enough, the issue of distribution is not the main contradiction.

At least, as far as the current NBA is concerned, the distribution issue between labor and management is not the main contradiction in the collective bargaining agreement.

The main contradiction in the current collective bargaining agreement is actually the polarized distribution of star players and ordinary players.

Of course, even with the new collective bargaining agreement, star players will get more, and ordinary players will not get less. They just won't get as much as star players, and this main contradiction is still not enough to shut down the NBA.

Naturally, the NBA continues as scheduled.

On October 30, before the opening game between the Bobcats and the Mavericks, the Bobcats, as the defending champions who have won two consecutive championships, are naturally the focus of the entire NBA. And Chen Xiao, the first player in the league, is going to hit his first career goal this season. The superstars of the dynasty are naturally the top priority of these attentions.

However, what is interesting is that most of the issues that the media focuses on Chen Xiao are not Chen Xiao himself, but Chen Xiao's teammates.

Most of the questions were all about Rose and Granger.

There is no way, the season has not started yet, so it is naturally difficult for everyone to focus all their attention on the game, so gossip is still the theme now.

Therefore, not only Chen Xiao will encounter such problems, Wade and Yao Ming will also encounter problems about Anthony's stay and so on.

Therefore, before the start of this season, many super giants said that they were really annoyed.

Especially the Lakers' superstar Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are also the hardest hit area.

After Gasol's five-year, 127 million contract extension this season, the Lakers' salary actually exploded.

It is naturally impossible for the Lakers to maintain this lineup next season. No matter how rich the Lakers are, they cannot afford such a luxury tax.

However, Kobe and the Lakers are not the same as other teams.

What's the difference?

The Heat cannot afford to pay the luxury tax. Wade and Yao Ming have never thought about acquiring the Heat and then becoming the owners of the Heat to help the Heat pay the luxury tax and retain the Heat's lineup.

As for Mr. Ke, he really feels it and really dares to do it.

Before the start of the season, he very seriously discussed the change of ownership of the Lakers with the Buss family.

Even the consortium established by Kobe in the name of his family foundation made its first offer to the Lakers for $2.5 billion. This figure made everyone know that Kobe was really not joking, he was serious.

Because the current NBA team with the highest valuation is the Knicks, but it is only US$2.5 billion.

The Lakers' valuation is actually a little lower than the Knicks.

This is 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011!

Therefore, compared to Chen Xiao and Wade Yao Ming, Kobe is more annoying.

Although Wade and Yao Ming also thought about acquiring the Heat after Kobe Bryant's move to acquire the Lakers, they were not as tough as Kobe. After finishing this season, stability is the most important thing for the Heat.

As for money, as shareholders of Facebook, Wade, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant are not short of money to buy NBA teams. They both have enough capital to mortgage enough money, and their financial reputation, Now it's an explosive level.

Of course, although Chen Xiao is not as annoying as Boss Ke, he is still quite annoying.

After all, he really didn't want to answer such a question, but he couldn't help but not answer it.

Especially when such a question is asked, he needs to answer it every time, otherwise it will be over-interpreted, and this is the annoying part.

It's obviously annoying, but he needs to make the problem extremely clear.

It feels like, even if it’s a lump of food, you have to eat it.

“This season is my tenth season in the NBA. For me, I have seen too many different things happening in the NBA. I think I know enough about the NBA. At least, no worse than many of you.

Therefore, I will never raise the question "Is Granger no longer suitable for the Bobcats" or "Who should leave, Derrick Rose or Granger", because from my experience and understanding of the NBA, He is one of the most important players to us. We have won two NBA championships together, and Granger and I have won three NBA championships together.

But now, many of you are telling me that we have achieved so much success together, but you are telling me that we are not suitable to be together. I think no one with some intelligence will ask such a question. , nor will such a discussion take place.

Perhaps the people who are hyping and having such discussions now are not our supporters, but our enemies. They want to see us fall apart and see us in chaos.

But unfortunately, such rumors will not cause us discord, but will only make us stronger. "

Chen Xiao has always been known for his daring to speak when attending various press conferences, but this time, he was still very daring to speak.

In fact, Chen Xiao has answered such questions before, but to be honest, Chen Xiao is not so strong every time he answers.

Chen Xiao's answer this time can be described as quite firm.

However, this is actually understandable. Chen Xiao hopes that such endless hype can stop after the season starts.

But it is obvious that the American media and reporters who were criticized by Chen Xiao have no intention of letting this topic go.

Even soon, a New York Times reporter below asked a question that was actually more sensitive to the Bobcats.

"Amare Stoudemire once said in an interview that the Bobcats are actually not harmonious behind the harmony. The relationship between the players is very special, both cooperation and competition, and the biggest problem of the Bobcats is , the problem between you and Michael is because you and Michael also have a competitive and cooperative relationship. You have a very good relationship, but everyone can see that your relationship is changing as time goes by, Amma I even used Combray and Sankara in Burkina Faso to describe the relationship between you, saying that you have been compromising with Michael, just like Sankara did with Combray, unable to be ruthless, but Michael is constantly making further progress and eroding Based on your position in the team, you will win over the people who loyally support you to your side one by one. If you can't win over, you will drive them away with your hands. Chen, what do you think of Amal's statement?"

When the New York Times reporter suddenly asked this question, Chen Xiao was actually a little silent because he really didn't know how to answer.

When Stoudemire was asked about the Bobcats in an interview a few days ago, he naturally knew the answer.

Although Stoudemire's words have a bit of a Renaissance feel, Chen Xiao is not an ignorant person after all, so he naturally knows who the two Renaissance figures Stoudemire mentioned.

Stoudemire compared him to Sankara and Jordan to Combree. I can only say that this is definitely selfish.

He didn't know what books Stoudemire had read or what videos he had watched this summer. He and Jordan had indeed become less close with their continuous achievements, but they still had the same goals.

As for Combree, when he chose to marry the daughter of the former colonial governor, he had actually chosen to go against Sankara's dream.

If we want to make an analogy, it is that after Michael won the championship, he chose to eliminate the team's combat effectiveness. The team no longer pursued the championship, but pursued making money. That was the real behavior of Kongbrei, which betrayed Chen Xiao and his own ideals. .

And Michael did not take the daughter of the colonial governor. He kept all the players that the Bobcats could keep, and also signed David West. If you want to say that Michael is Kong Boley, Chen Xiao will not agree. .

The conflict between him and Jordan is not the conflict between Sankara and Combao, but the conflict between two Sankaras.

Their ideals are the same and will always be the same, but...

"I have great respect for Amal, he is a former team-mate of mine and a good friend of mine, and I will not lie to you on this issue. I don't think Michael is Combao, he is a great man like Sankara, he has always been They all have great ideals.”

"So, do you think Michael is going to keep both Rose and Granger next season, and no matter how much it costs, the Bobcat is going to stay?"

Chen Xiao's answer did not stop the New York reporter from asking questions.

In fact, when Chen Xiao answered this question, he knew that the reporter would not give up like this, so when faced with this very vicious question, Chen Xiao said seriously without even the slightest thought: "So, I said Michael is like For a great man like Sankara, in the final analysis, neither Michael nor I are Sankara. The great thing about Sankara is that he clearly knows how difficult his ideal is, but he never compromises, because he knows that if you give in once, there will be a second time. , so that countless times, in the end, the ideal will deteriorate. His ideal has no gray area, but we are different."

Chen Xiao did not give the New York reporter time to speak and continued: "Personally, I don't want Amar to leave the team. He is extremely important to our team. I hope to keep him, but in the end , I still watched him leave. In the end, I chose to compromise. If I insisted on keeping Amal, maybe I would find a perfect way, but I didn’t do it in the end, because basketball and politics are different. The ideal is only our own ideal and does not include the lives of thousands of people. Our ideal has always been selfish, while Sankara's ideal has always been selfless."

"I don't know why Amal made such a comparison. I'm glad that he accepted my suggestion and learned more. However, his newly acquired knowledge was used in the wrong place."

At the pre-match press conference, Chen Xiao's words could be said to have rendered the New York reporter speechless.

There was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to stir up trouble, he had to admit that what Chen Xiao said about TTM made sense.

Chen Xiao and Jordan, their ideals are at best their own ideals and they are responsible for their own wishes. Are they worthy of comparison with Sankara, who is responsible for the survival of the people of a country?

Chen Xiao and Jordan's ideals are only responsible for themselves. As long as they achieve their goals, there will be no so-called betrayal.

Therefore, Stoudemire's question is originally a false proposition.

In the final analysis, Chen Xiao and Jordan's ideals are not that noble and great.

"So, I hope all of you can understand that Michael and I are just people pursuing a better version of ourselves, not some god who enlightens the world."

Although Chen Xiao and Jordan are indeed getting better and better now.

As for why this is the case, you have to ask dear Mr. David Stern.

Who makes him like making gods so much?

Chen Xiao used his own logic to reject Stoudemire's very embarrassing topic.

But obviously, although Chen Xiao vetoed Stoudemire's question, he did not answer the question that Chen Xiao and Jordan do have a delicate relationship now.

The achievements of these two people in the NBA are indeed too great.

Especially Jordan.

6 player championships and 2 player dynasties.

Then as the head coach and general manager, now he has three championships.

Three of Chen Xiao's five championships have the shadow of Jordan.

That is to say...

"In other words, as long as Wonder Boy is still with the Bobcats, and as long as Michael is still the head coach and general manager of the Bobcats, all the championships they win will not belong to Wonder Boy alone. Even if Wonder Boy wins ten consecutive championships with the Bobcats, he will still win the championship." His status in the NBA will never be as high as that of Michael Jordan, the head coach and general manager who also won ten consecutive championships.

If Wonder Boy just wants to be the number one player in NBA history, then he can stay in the Bobcats with peace of mind.

But if he wants to be the greatest in NBA history, then sooner or later he will leave the Bobcats and Michael to get enough championships that belong only to him and not to Michael. Moreover, at least a dynasty is needed! "

Therefore, after the pre-game press conference between the Bobcats and the Mavericks, the topic of Chen Xiao leaving the Bobcats did not end. Pi Erye's words even made this topic a topic that covered everything.

Even Wade and Yao Ming from as far away as Miami and Luo Ge from San Antonio called to inquire.

Really, what Mr. Pi Erye said this time makes so much sense.

Even Barkley slapped his thigh and said: "So this is Michael's kid's conspiracy. I knew he had bad intentions in inviting Boy Wonder to the Bobcats!"

You become the number one player in the NBA and I become the number one player in the NBA. We both have a bright future.

Going to TM's bright future, the Wonder Boy has already become the number one player in the NBA. How can he not be the number one player in the NBA?

Your ability to use a chicken to lay eggs is simply amazing. It means that this guy Pi Er knows you best and can expose your conspiracy!

For a time, the people most deceived by this crazy public opinion were not Uncle Joe, whose deepest thoughts were revealed by Pi Er, but Ross and Granger.

The two of them were entangled here. Why did they suddenly realize that the boss was about to be entangled by them?

What's going on with this damn thing? !
