I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Chen, I won't lie to you. Now, I do have this idea in my heart. You will be the greatest player and I will be the greatest person. But that is now, not six years ago, nor ten years ago." Before, you should understand what I mean."

On October 30, 2011, the regular season opener between the Bobcats and the Mavericks was about to begin. However, in the Bobcats locker room, in addition to not being included in this season's 15-man lineup, Isiah Thomas Jr., who is currently playing in the Development League, and Yu Zai. Except for Bogdanovic, who came to the NBA from Europe, all 14 other Bobcats players except Chen Xiao were looking nervously and worriedly at the small room in the locker room.

At this time, Chen Xiao and Jordan, the two cores of the Bobcats, were talking inside.

The power of Pippen's heart-wrenching words was so powerful that the fermentation of the matter was developing in a train-like manner, making people caught off guard and unable to make any preparations.

There is really nothing you can do to prepare for this. Only at this time and in this place can Chen Xiao and Jordan find the opportunity for face-to-face in-depth communication.

Of course, for Chen Xiao and Jordan, Pippen's words were heartbreaking.

In fact, for these Bobcats players, why not?

If Chen Xiao and Jordan really have the kind of intrigue and alienation that Pippen mentioned, and now it is exposed by Pippen, then it will be impossible for Chen Xiao and Jordan to cooperate again, and they will face the choice of one or the other. choice.

This decision is unimaginably painful for the Bobcats players.

The Bobcats are truly a team made up of a special group of players.

Chen Xiao and Jordan's influence on the Bobcats is surprisingly large.

Take the other 14 Bobcats players.

Matt Barnes is Chen Xiao's die-hard younger brother. He was born in UCLA and California. His idol is a magician. This choice is not difficult for him. He will definitely choose Chen Xiao.

Boss Ji, Chen Xiao’s half-teacher and best friend, must have chosen Chen Xiao.

Little Curry, Chen Xiao is his teacher, and he must have chosen Chen Xiao.

But others are different.

For example, for Granger, Jordan is his teacher and idol, and Chen Xiao is also half his teacher and idol. Half of his kung fu comes from Chen Xiao and half from Jordan.

Jordan and Chen Xiao really want to compete for the leadership of the team and the interpretation of the dynasty like Pippen did. When he needs to make a choice, he will definitely be the most painful.

It was almost a question of him choosing dad or mom.

Even if the other Bobcats players don't suffer as much as Granger, they won't be as relaxed.

For example, Roy, the second in charge of the team, had Jordan as his idol, but Chen Xiao was his benefactor when he entered the Bobcats. He was his senior, a former player of the Nets, and Chen Xiao’s former Nets teammate Dabai recommended him to Chen Xiao, thus allowing him to enter the Bobcats and Jordan's vision, and finally came to Charlotte, achieving some vision.

This is a very difficult choice. You are Roy. You may also know who to choose, but will you not feel pain?

For example, the team's current third-in-command, Rose, was born in Chicago. His idol Jordan is almost immersed in his bones, and Chen Xiao has been guiding him to defend and control the ball over the years, guiding him to the strongest beacon.

Do you think this choice will be easy for Rose?

Like Rose, there is Butler. Jimmy Butler's idol is Jordan, but Chen Xiao is his college senior and half teacher.

In terms of pain, he was actually not much worse than Granger, and of course there was no doubt about his choice.

In short, for Chen Xiao and Jordan, two players with equal status in NBA history and huge influence in the minds of players and fans.

The dispute between the two of them has a much greater impact on a team than the dispute between Durant and Curry in history.

The dispute between Durant and Curry in the Warriors forced the others to choose one or the other. Basically, Curry defeated Durant, and Green blatantly helped Curry fight against Durant.

But in the current Bobcats, no matter how much they support Chen Xiao, they don't dare to openly confront Jordan.

The same is true on the other side. Even if Roy, DeRozan and others support Jordan, they dare not confront Chen Xiao like Green did.

This has reached an impasse.

Regarding the problems between Durant and Curry, neither of their personalities would directly target each other, but Green next to him took action. Although this would create chaos in the team, it could quickly solve the problem, isn't it? You have to choose one of the two. If you don’t choose the protagonist, I will step in as a supporting actor to speed up the process and help you choose.

But now, in front of two people with huge auras, Chen Xiao and Jordan, there are no supporting characters of enough importance to do such a thing.

None of the top three point guards in history can do it.

Therefore, they can only wait quietly for Chen Xiao and Jordan to solve this problem in person.

As for where the solution to this problem will ultimately go, they really have no idea and don't dare to know.

It's completely out of their control anyway.

Originally, the team was thriving, and the void left by the departures of O'Neal, Spartier Jr. and others was made up, but who would have thought that Pippen would actually cause such an incident.

Moreover, I didn't expect that what Pippen said was true.

Pippen said that if Jordan doesn't have such thoughts in his heart now, he can come to TNT to debate with him, or publicly refute and refute him during interviews.

With Jordan's character, everyone knows that if he is really wronged, he will dare to go to you to settle the score, let alone you in TNT, even in WhiteG.

And this is what makes the Bobcats most passive.

Jordan really has this idea.

At the same time, Chen Xiao knew that Jordan had such thoughts. When Chen Xiao was in the national team, he did not accept Faye Wong's request to be the head coach because he knew that Jordan had such thoughts and he did not want to irritate Jordan.

Moreover, Jordan also knows that Chen Xiao knows that he has such thoughts in his heart now. Therefore, it is not only Chen Xiao who is taking care of Jordan's feelings, Jordan is actually taking care of Chen Xiao's feelings. Jordan's current position in the Bobcats is that he is the boss. He is the head coach of three championships and the general manager of three championships. Coupled with his glorious playing career, let's put it this way, his status in the Bobcats is not comparable to that of Chen Xiao.

In the Bobcats, Jordan didn't want to be in the Hall of Fame. If he wanted to be stronger, it would be very easy.

But in the Bobcats, Jordan has always maintained the greatest respect for Chen Xiao. In the draft, player training, and the team's various arrangements, Chen Xiao's words are better than Jordan's, and Chen Xiao's opinions are more important than Jordan's.

In fact, Chen Xiao and Jordan both know this well, and they actually respect each other.

The outside media, following the lead of Mr. Pi, felt that Chen Xiao did not know what Jordan was thinking and was hyping it up. This was not true at all.

The reason why this matter makes Chen Xiao and Jordan feel uncomfortable now is not because Mr. Pi was right about Jordan's current thoughts. Not only is Jordan's thoughts known to everyone, Chen Xiao must know them.

Therefore, the biggest threat that Erye Pi poses to the Bobcats, Chen Xiao, and Jordan is that there is no room for Chen Xiao and Jordan to be confused about each other.

One mountain and two tigers, if you don't blur, it really doesn't work.

But now, Chen Xiao and Jordan can no longer be blurred.

Therefore, as soon as Jordan entered the small room, he confessed to Chen Xiao that this was what he was thinking now, and what Mr. Pi said was indeed correct.

Chen Xiao didn't react, which was no surprise to Jordan, because both of them knew each other's current feelings, but they just kept it vague.

As for Jordan saying that he had never had such thoughts before, Chen Xiao also believed it.

Chen Xiao feels that Jordan is not such a dark person.

If you come to the Bobcats and there are no results, then I will lose the threat of the number one player in history.

If you come to Bobcats and get results, those results will be my stepping stone.

Jordan is not that dark. Besides, Chen Xiao suggested and supported Jordan as the head coach. Therefore, it was indeed impossible for Jordan to have such an idea before.

However, even though he knew that Jordan had no such thoughts, Jordan's explanation was still very important to Chen Xiao.

This made him know that the person he was working with now was not an old silver coin who was a scheming person. Although Jordan was an old silver coin, in the face of this situation where he had already been in a row for two consecutive years, Chen Xiao would definitely grit his teeth and continue to cooperate with Jordan. season, but, obviously, this is going to be very jarring.

Therefore, Chen Xiao looked at Jordan's extremely sincere eyes. After a long time, Chen Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, showed a slight smile on his face.

"Michael, I have always believed in you. I know, and you must also know. We have known the goal of our cooperation from the beginning, and now, the goal is only a stone's throw away from us. I believe you I will not give up such an opportunity, and I will not give up such an opportunity. No one can stop us, and there is no way to stop our expectations for this season."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking with a smile, Jordan was stunned for a moment, then his face was a little complicated, and he murmured in pain: "This season..."

After muttering to himself, Jordan suddenly felt like he was relieved.

Regarding what Pi Er said, even if Chen Xiao won the dynasty with the Bobcats, he would not be able to erase Jordan's influence on the dynasty. Similarly, why is he not like this?

All the championships in his management positions are also the shadow of Chen Xiao.

Just like Kobe and O'Neal back then.

When the dynasty between two people is established, both of them will have the subtle idea of ​​'I can do it myself without you' in their hearts.

This is just human nature.

Didn’t Erye Pi always say that he can do without Jordan? He is the strongest in the NBA?

Therefore, after Mr. Pi's appearance broke the ambiguity between the two of them, in fact, after thinking about it, this is actually an opportunity. Taking this opportunity to spread everything out, it is actually a relief for both of them. .

For Chen Xiao, his cooperation with Jordan made him very comfortable, and Jordan supported him. However, he knew that the current situation between the two was really not suitable for them to continue to cooperate.

Similarly, for Jordan, he is also very happy to cooperate with Chen Xiao, because Chen Xiao is his favorite player. Looking at him is like looking at himself, a person he has never reached, and finally The ideal version of himself, but he also knew that it was indeed time to let go of his pursuit.

Therefore, after the two people talked openly about many things in the past, present and future, both of them left the small room with smiles, talking and laughing, and came to the large room of the locker room.

At this time, the Bobcat players were really shocked when they saw Chen Xiao and Jordan coming out in such an intimate manner.

"Did we get it wrong? Are the rumors about these two big guys all false?"

However, after a brief shock, all the Bobcats players became excited.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, looking at the two big guys looking like this, it is obvious that they will not be asked to make any choices.

As long as they are not allowed to make a choice, everything will be fine and they will be happy!

Of course, it was not only the Bobcats players who were shocked at this time, but also the Bobcats' opponent in the season opener, the Mavericks.

In this game, the Mavericks actually wanted to take revenge on the Bobcats tonight.

After all, things are not going very well for the Bobcats right now.

But the final result hurt the Mavericks very much.

The Bobcats didn't look like they were in bad shape at all. On the contrary, the Mavericks themselves, in the first game of the regular season this season, except for the driver who was still as strong as in the playoffs last season, the other role players seemed to have lost their power.

In this opener, the Mavericks lost to the Bobcats by 31 points, 98-129.

Losing Tyson Chandler and role player Magic Mavericks, they were left defenseless in front of the Bobcats who desperately needed a big win to clear away the haze.

This game made the driver, who scored 27 points in just three quarters, a little tired. The people were still the same people, but the game was no longer those games.

As for Chen Xiao, who was the spotlight star of this game, when facing the Mavericks, the most adept opponent, although he did not produce as terrifying data as in G5 of the finals.

But he still had a super triple-double of 41 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the three quarters.

Chen Xiao performed well. At the same time, Chen Xiao and Jordan kept smiling and interacting on the field, high-fiving and hugging each other. This made Pi Er, the on-site commentator next to him, very embarrassed.

"This is an illusion. This must be an illusion. They can't keep it up like this. They will definitely have problems in the next game!"

Pi Erye was embarrassed at the scene, but when he returned to the TNT Tiantuan studio, he became the strongest Pi who gave guidance and inspired words.

However, what embarrasses Mr. Pi again is that the entire month of November has passed, and this Bobcat, which he thought was definitely about to collapse, still did not collapse. It should be said that it did not even lose a game!

After losing O'Neal, Stoudemire and Shane Battier, the Bobcats actually haven't lost yet after adding David West.

Looks even better than last season!

why is that?

Obviously the strength has declined.

And all the answers lie with Chen Xiao.

"Incredible, really incredible. In the entire 16 games in November, the Wonder Boy averaged 34 points, 11.5 rebounds and 12.5 assists per game. While averaging a triple-double in a single month, he also scored 11 triple-doubles in 16 games!"

"Michael Jordan and Wonder Boy's team are invincible this season. There are no problems between them!"

"Now, I can responsibly say that everything Scott said before was just fart!"

Pippen thought that it might be Webber or Barkley who stabbed him at this time.

He really didn't expect that the person who stabbed him the fastest and hardest would be that damn fat man!

At this time, looking at the big shark enjoying everyone's attention, Mr. Pi's eyes were almost on fire.

"This twenty-five-year-old boy!"

What about the promised allies? !

Facing Pi Er's angry eyes, O'Neal was completely unmoved.

ally?

Aren’t allies meant to be betrayed?

Haha, so, Pi Er, is this your first time meeting me, Shaq?

Indeed, this is not the first time that Mr. Pi has met O'Neal.

But it was indeed the first time we got to know each other so deeply.

Now, Chen Xiao and Jordan are hitting him hard in the face. Every triple-double by Chen Xiao and every victory by Jordan are hitting him hard in the face.

However, there is no doubt that O'Neill's knife was the cruelest.

Second Master Pi felt that his mentality was a little broken.
