I’m Really Playing Basketball

Granger's sudden injury really caught the Bobcats off guard.

Because after two months of training and games at the beginning of the season, the Bobcats have become accustomed to the crazy involution between Rose, Granger, and Jimmy Butler.

And everyone has already acquiesced that these three are animals and iron men, so there is no need to worry at all.

Even the team doctor thinks so.

Don’t think that NBA team doctors are all miracle doctors. Regarding physical fatigue detection, there is actually a part of metaphysics, because the fatigue detection data is not only physiological but also psychological. It is actually a reference value. If a person’s psychological He was very excited and could not accurately reflect his true fatigue condition.

This is the so-called state of physical and mental exhaustion. Only this is useful, and only then will the team doctor advise you to rest more.

Just like Rose now, Rose suddenly collapsed when he saw Granger, who was involved in his crazy involution. As soon as Rose's psychological excitement ended, his body became exhausted. He also felt extremely exhausted mentally. He was in pain all over his body. In fact, it was not that serious and the psychological effect was greater. However, the team doctor could now detect that he was indeed too tired, so he was advised to take a good rest in the recent period.

So, are there really iron men and animals in this world?

This is definitely true. At the very least, Chen Xiao is recognized by the league as an iron man and an animal. He has never missed a game in his career. It has been ten seasons so far and he has not missed a game due to injury or fatigue.

Historically, the head coach of the Bobcats, Jordan, was also a beast-level player.

But no matter what, there are still too few such players in history.

At least neither Granger nor Rose.

The reason why Granger has not been troubled by injuries in the past is not because he is really tough, but because Jordan has done a good job in the Bobcats' rotation.

The Bobcats' lineup has always been the thickest in the league. In this case, Jordan has enough capital to rotate the lineup.

In addition, Jordan himself is also a coach who loves his players very much, so he generally does not let players train and compete excessively.

The reason why he supported Granger, Rose and others to get involved this time is because he loves the efforts of his players for their dignity and honor so much. He is such a person himself.

Who knew that his support and indulgence would actually cause his beloved disciple Granger to encounter such a misfortune.

Complete rupture of cruciate ligament in left knee...

When he got this result, Jordan felt that his heart was really painful. After all, Chen Xiao reminded him at the beginning of the season that he wanted to pay attention to this, but he didn't really take it to heart.

Of course, Granger himself didn't blame anyone. When Chen Xiao and Jordan saw Granger, Granger's mentality was actually very good after the operation.

"You don't have to feel sorry for me. Championship, All-Star, Best Team, I have no regrets in my basketball career. I know that all of this is my own fault. I was too pushy. I'm sorry. I I can’t go forward with you now.”

It can be seen that although Granger is forcing a smile now, it can also be seen that he does not feel too sad.

After all, as Granger himself said, he has actually earned what he has achieved in his basketball career.

"So, I have thought in the past two days that I don't need to consider what other people think. I really don't need to prove anything. Now, I finally understand."

Yes, it was too late when I realized it.

Granger said this very sincerely, so Rose and other Bobcats players next to him felt very deeply.

But no matter what, Granger is down now. Although the Bobcats are very sad, they must move forward.

So quickly, the Bobcats recalled Isiah Thomas Jr. from the G League.

Isiah Thomas Jr. performed very well in the Development League. His offense is very good and very unique. He is small and definitely not fast, but like Terry, he is very good at outside shooting. In the Development League , his three-point shots accounted for as high as 40% of his total shots.

Jason Terry, who was at his peak, also had similar style of play and shooting habits.

And both of them are very good at strong shots. It can be said that so far, Isiah Thomas Jr. makes the Bobcats feel that he is just a shorter and younger Terry.

As for the strongest king of this style, the peak Stephen Curry in history, his shot ratio from beyond the three-point line can reach more than half of his total shots, and his shooting percentage is even higher.

It can be said that whether Isiah Thomas Jr. is a smaller version of Terry or a beggar and bankrupt version of peak Curry, this player is useful to the Bobcats and is also a player that very much meets the needs of the Bobcats.

So after Granger was injured, the Bobcats did not choose to sign a new player, but brought him back.

Of course, Thomas Jr. is useful, but the Bobcats have no shortage of people at this position. He will be ranked behind Kemba Walker and Curry Jr., and he is just a water cooler keeper at the bottom of the team.

What really works for the Bobcats is Jimmy Butler.

This is the final winner in this battle of kings.

The championship game between third-year Jimmy Butler and Granger Rose ended with Granger's serious injury and Rose's cultivation.

In the end, the only one standing there alive and kicking was Jimmy Butler.

Moreover, the Bobcats' new volume king is still as crazy on the training ground.

Although the intervention of Chen Xiao and Jordan made him less crazy than before, his training intensity still left other Bobcat players stunned.

It seems that Granger and Rose are not beasts, but this one is a real beast.

Of course, Butler's game tasks are not that heavy. If Butler's game time increases this season, he can still train as hard and stay healthy, then this person will be the legendary king-level iron man.

After Granger was injured, Jordan originally intended to let Roy enter the starting lineup.

But after discussing with Chen Xiao, he gave up this idea.

The Bobcats' offense and defense are both excellent this season. The offense is first, and the defense is also the first in points allowed per possession. It seems that the offense is stronger than the defense. After all, the Bobcats' defense does not give up the least points.

However, anyone who has watched the Bobcats game knows that the Bobcats' offense this season relies heavily on defensive counterattacks. Although the Bobcats' lineup is a traditional two big and three small players, its speed is actually faster than that of the five small players Camis and Cousins. and David West can both run.

Therefore, without O'Neal and Stoudemire this season, the Bobcats actually relied on their excellent defense to drive their offense.

It plays a defensive counterattack flow, rather than the offensive and defensive flow like last season.

In this case, the Bobcats' defense becomes important.

As for Roy, his body is at risk of injury. If he goes up, it will make the team's defensive pressure worse.

This will affect the way the Bobcats play this season.

Of course, it's okay to change the style of play after Roy comes on board.

However, it is not necessary, because the Bobcats' style of play this season is very suitable for a team without O'Neal and Stoudemire.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is like Jordan recommending Butler.

Why didn't his loyal little brother Barnes be recommended?

Barnes' defense is indeed good, but his aggressiveness is not as strong as Butler's.

More importantly, Butler's offense is more comprehensive and reliable than Barnes.

Although for the Bobcats, defense at this position of the forward is more important than offense.

But having an offensive and defensive player with Granger's style is of course the best.

In this way, after entering the league, Chen Xiao, who was almost a mascot-like character and not well-known among fans and experts, came into the world's attention shockingly. After playing against the Bulls In this strong dialogue, he became the team's starting small forward.

Because of Granger's sudden serious injury, the Bobcats' replacement for the small forward position has been the focus of heated discussion. Naturally, Jimmy Butler becoming the final winner also made many people curious, excited, and sad.

The sad part must be for Bobcats fans. I think back then, their small forward position was so deep. Granger, Battier, Barnes, and even DeRozan sometimes made guest appearances.

But now that Granger is injured and Battier is gone, their extremely deep small forward position actually depends on Butler, a little-known third-year young man.

The ones who are excited must be the Bulls players, especially the Bulls' leading swingman, Ben Gordon.

He will definitely teach Butler a lesson in this game.

Although the Bobcats have lost only one game this season and are staggeringly strong, in this game against the Bulls, the Bobcats had two starters who could not start.

Granger was seriously injured, Rose took a rest, and the starting point guard was replaced by Kidd.

Butler and Kidd, two young players and one old player, are easy to bully at first sight.

Before the game, Ben Gordon and Deron and Bulls fans thought so.

Of course, Pippen thought so too.

"During Deron Williams' career, he always looked less good against Jason Kidd. Now, however, we can understand that at that time he was young and Kidd was mature, and Now, he finally has a chance to prove himself again!"

"Of course, the most anticipated matchup is of course the matchup between Ben Gordon and Butler. Ben Gordon is one of the strongest wing offensive players in the league. He can even compete with Wade on the offensive end, and Bart Butler is definitely one of the worst starting wings in the entire league. In this era of blowout wing players, Butler makes people wonder why he became the starting player of a team like the Bobcats. In this game, Ben Gordon will Prove to the world that he can slap Michael Jordan and Wonder Boy in the face!"

Before the game started, Mr. Pi was really excited. After all, if Ben Gordon hit Butler in the face, he was helping him hit Chen Xiao and Jordan in the face.

Facing so many eyes, Butler still had that dead look on his face, but he was still very grateful to see Chen Xiao who made him relax and cared about him.

"I will not let down those who support me. After so many years of hard work, I finally have the opportunity to bloom!"

Butler is a hard-working genius. Such geniuses have been waiting for an opportunity their entire lives, and when this opportunity comes, this hard-working genius will definitely not let it go.

In fact, historically, Butler's rise was also due to seizing opportunities, but it was not the opportunity when Granger was injured, but the opportunity when Rose was injured.

Therefore, in this game, when Ben Gordon and everyone around the world thought that Butler was going to be eaten, and when they saw Butler clamping down on Ben Gordon in this game, they could imagine How shocked they were.

Ben Gordon's offense is a relatively sharp attack. Such a player will be particularly miserable when facing Butler, because Butler's defense is so tough!

And it's ruthless and hard, plus Butler's passing is also good. After the defense is successful, he can immediately push for a counterattack.

In fact, Ben Gordon's hard power is very strong. After all, he is a player who can compete with Wade.

If he took it seriously, it wouldn't be so miserable.

But after being caught by Butler's pliers, his mentality quickly became unbalanced, and it was difficult to recover from this.

Deron is in the same situation as Ben Gordon. Deron also wants to attack the aging Kidd in this game.

But it's really interesting to say that Deron, who is the league's number one point guard, is like a cat fighting a mouse. When he met the old Kidd, there was really nothing he could do.

In fact, in history, Deron has never even scored 20 points against Jason Kidd since the 2011 season. In this game, of course, Deron is still struggling very much. His three-pointers are very lethal to small cannons. A pull-up three-pointer from outside the line, beating Kidd, was really uncomfortable.

Therefore, in this game that was originally considered to be an upset, the Bulls ended up losing to the Bobcats 93-122 by 29 points!

Deron made 3 of 15 shots in this game, with 12 points and 12 assists.

Ben Gordon was 5 of 15 and scored 15 points.

On the contrary, on the other side, Chen Xiao played 27 minutes, made 9 of 12 shots, and had a triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.

At the same time, Jimmy Butler, who started this game, made 7 of 10 shots, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. His performance on both offense and defense was quite outstanding.

The old Kidd was also very good. He made 4 of 5 in the game and 2 of 3 three-pointers. While scoring 11 points, he also completed 6 steals in the face of Deron who was eager for success.

Yes, there were 6 steals in this game, many of which were for Deron trying to break through.

Deron's body pressed against Paul and Nash, and it was really accurate, but when he met Kidd...

Historically, Kidd was able to complete 6 steals against Deron in a single game in 2013...

At that time, Boss Ji was already 40 years old.

It can only be said that Boss Ji is really becoming more and more demonic as he gets older. Why is Boss Ji so highly regarded in history?

The main thing is that no matter whether the opponent is strong or not, Boss Ji never suffers in the matchup, which Nash can't do.

Throughout his entire career, when faced with Kobe Bryant, Deron and a bunch of other strong defenders, he was basically very stable.

Therefore, Ji Laobao has a high evaluation among player experts. He is strong one-on-one, and his reputation will indeed be better.

Therefore, as soon as the game between the Bobcats and the Bulls ended, Pier was dumbfounded.

Many people who thought that Granger was injured and that they had a chance to beat the Bobcats were speechless.

"This lynx is too thick!"

"Is this the thickness of the team's lineup for the superstar who is the best at nurturing his younger brothers in NBA history and the most discerning general manager in NBA history?!"

To the shock of the entire NBA, the Bobcats once again went 14-0 in January.

At the same time, this month, Chen Xiao once again achieved an average of 30+ triple-doubles per game, with 13 triple-doubles in 14 games.

Granger's sudden serious injury seemed to have no impact on this team, even...

"Bobcat, maybe stronger!"

Because after Butler replaced Granger, the Bobcats' defense looked really stronger!
