I’m Really Playing Basketball

When Chen Xiao took over the championship MVP trophy from David Stern, the atmosphere at the scene and the atmosphere of the audience paying attention to this game almost reached its climax.

After prolonged cheers and applause, the audience, who had calmed down a little, began to look forward to Chen Xiao's live speech.

Even the opponents in the finals, Ron Howard and Duncan of the Spurs, are looking at Chen Xiao with FMVP in one hand and the championship trophy in the other.

"This is Chen's sixth time..."

Six championships and six FMVPs in ten years. Looking back on the achievements of Chen Xiao who came to the NBA with him in these ten years, Brother Luo was envious but also had extremely complicated emotions waiting for Chen Xiao to say something.

It should be said that the whole world is waiting for what Chen Xiao wants to say.

After all, this is his sixth championship, and this is also his first dynasty. Many people say that after Chen Xiao wins this championship, he can catch up with Jordan after this dynasty, although Chen Xiao has two fewer MVPs. , but considering the advantages of active duty and the more terrifying competition in the era Chen Xiao lives in, there is no problem at all for Chen Xiao to catch up with Jordan.

Therefore, as the god of basketball, Jordan was caught up. This is an epoch-making historical event for Chen Xiao personally and for the entire NBA.

Just like when many major historical events happen in history, important figures will give speeches.

Whether you are listening to his next speech with the intention of slapping Chen Xiao in the face in the future, or you are really listening to his speech with admiration and respect, or you want to see him and Jordan do this. It doesn't matter if you are tearing up and listening, in short, at this time, you will want to hear what he has to say.

Including NBA Commissioner David Stern who was standing beside Chen Xiao at this time.

For David Stern, during his NBA commissioner career, there are four players who have truly changed the NBA.

The first and second were Bird Bird and Magic Johnson. The two of them started the process of NBA commercialization reaching its peak.

In the era of magic birds competing for hegemony, the NBA finally achieved great commercial success, allowing the NBA to lay the foundation for future glory.

Later, Michael Jordan, based on the business foundation laid by the Magic Birds, pushed the NBA to the world and made the NBA achieve unprecedented success, so much so that David Stern felt that Jordan's era was The pinnacle of the NBA.

It even made him feel that perhaps, the NBA would never be able to reach such heights again.

But soon, he discovered that he was wrong. In the season when Jordan left the NBA, Chen Xiao appeared.

The emergence of Chen Xiao not only allowed the NBA to maintain the American glory of the Jordan era, but also pushed the NBA's influence in the world to billions of viewers in Asia. Moreover, because of outstanding talents such as Chen Xiao, Wade, and Ron Howard, The addition of young players has brought the NBA to a true golden age, which has pushed the NBA's influence in the United States to the extreme, even surpassing the NCAA, baseball, and ice hockey, and reaching a level second only to the NFL.

Seriously, this is a path David Stern never envisioned.

Perhaps, he has dreamed of surpassing the NCAA and making the NBA the real number one in basketball.

But he never dreamed that the NBA could be as brilliant as it is now.

And all this was brought about by the appearance of Chen Xiao.

Therefore, when everyone turned their attention to Chen Xiao, David Stern next to him looked at Chen Xiao with particularly sincere eyes, just like Michael Jordan, the head coach and owner of the Bobcats on the other side.

The sincere gratitude the two of them looked at Chen Xiao was beyond words.

"Thank you Mr. Stern, thank you Michael, thank you to my comrades, thank you to all the fans and audiences who support us, I love this stage, I love this team, I love these achievements we have created together, they are so great good!"

After Chen Xiao hugged David Stern and Michael Jordan next to him, he looked at his teammates, coaches, and staff behind him, then turned around again with an excited smile on his face and faced the same situation below. Excited audience.

"I know what you want me to say most at this time. You want to hear from me that I have caught up with Michael or surpassed Michael. However, this has never been about me standing on the basketball court. The goal was never what I pursued when I came to Charlotte and when I came to the Bobcats.”

Chen Xiao knew what the journalists with shining eyes below were thinking about now, but for him, it was naturally impossible for him to say what they wanted to hear.

And for him, such things are indeed not his pursuit. These are incidental. When he achieves what he wants, these will be realized naturally.

What's more, at this time, he had more important things to announce.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao jokingly said the previous paragraph, he saw the reporters below in an uproar and the audience on the sidelines laughing. After Chen Xiao and Michael Jordan next to him looked at each other and smiled, they looked at each other with a smile. The teammates behind him turned their heads and continued.

"However, don't worry. Although I didn't create the news for you, don't worry. When you leave here tonight, you will definitely be satisfied, excited and satisfied. You have lost a window. , and I opened a door for you."

Hearing what Chen Xiao said, the reporters below who were in an uproar just now started to look forward to it again.

By the way, what door did Chen Xiao open for them that could make them more excited than hearing Chen Xiao say that he had caught up with Jordan?

Not to mention these reporters, even David Stern next to him was surprised.

After all, David Stern didn't know what Chen Xiao, Jordan and the Bobcats players had said openly before when they changed their championship celebration equipment.

Moreover, the Bobcats players are now very emotionally stable.

Although the tacit understanding between Chen Xiao and Jordan has not been made clear to the Bobcats players, to be honest, the Bobcats players can detect it, and many people have asked Chen Xiao about it privately. Chen Xiao is not sure, but he has not negative.

And this is why the Bobcats players are so supportive of Jordan this season to let Chen Xiao get such perfect statistics and have such a perfect season.

Without the hard support of Bobcat players, it would be easy for Chen Xiao to average a triple-double per game, but it would be impossible to achieve a record of 78 wins and 4 losses in the regular season.

It can be seen from the performance of the Bobcats in the playoffs that the Bobcats are not the only one in the Eastern Conference.

If these Bobcat players hadn't tried their best during the regular season, the Bobcats' record wouldn't have been so good.

The Bobcats players knew that this was Chen Xiao's last season with the Bobcats, so they cooperated with Jordan and gave all the data to Chen Xiao, while they worked hard to defend Chen Xiao and move positions for Chen Xiao on the court. , attracting defense for Chen Xiao.

The Bobcats this season are definitely united.

And Chen Xiao is full of gratitude to these teammates.

Although the Bobcats teammates all said that this is what they should be, this is their gratitude to Chen Xiao for training them, and this is their gratitude to Chen Xiao for his sacrifice for them.

But, man, your efforts may not always be rewarded with gratitude and reward.

In fact, most of the time, others will not be grateful for your efforts. Things like favoring and grudges are common.

Therefore, for Chen Xiao, he is lucky to meet a group of teammates like the Bobcats.

Therefore, he never thinks that the success of the Bobcats this season is his personal success, but the success of the team.

And it was an unquestionable team success.

“From the summer of 2005, when I accepted Michael’s invitation and chose to come to Charlotte, I knew what I wanted. For basketball, North Carolina and Charlotte represent a lot. This is the holy land of basketball, and at the same time, it is also a wasteland of basketball. Michael told me that he wanted to be a pioneer, and he impressed me, because I also wanted to be a pioneer."

The reporters who were originally curious about what kind of breaking news Chen Xiao would tell to open the door were stunned at first when they heard Chen Xiao's words, and then their eyes suddenly widened.

Including next to David Stern, including Wade, Yao Ming, Ron Howard, Duncan, James, Durant, Curry, Kobe, Garnett, Wheat, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Carter, etc. NBA superstars and Bobcats competitors all had their eyes widened at this time.

"Could it be?!"

After Wade and Yao Ming looked at each other in shock, they all looked at the man who still had a smile on his face in shock.

"We all know what it means to lead this new team. We are not here simply to pursue a so-called historical status, nor simply to pursue some MVP, nor just to win the championship. The championship trophy, we know that we are here to recreate a real basketball kingdom. Seven years have passed, Michael and I have succeeded. The once desert has now turned into a lush forest. The once desert, At this time, it has become a forest kingdom that shocked everyone in the NBA. Here, we have obtained everything I wanted. Thanks to Michael and my comrades, it was us who, together, established a forest in this original desert. A forest kingdom comparable to Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago. Together, we have created a kingdom that belongs to us, a dynasty that belongs to us, and an era that belongs to us. I love it to death... and I love you to death too!"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking excitedly, he hugged Michael Jordan, the owner and general manager of the Bobcats next to him. The Bobcats players, coaches, and management behind him were applauding wildly, and some even I was already crying and couldn't hold it in any longer.

Because this is their peak and their farewell.

The audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, were still buzzing in their heads at this time as they looked at Jordan, who was crying and hugging Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao, whose eyes were also filled with tears.

After a long hug, Michael Jordan stood in front of the microphone.

"I think you should know from Chen's words just now that he wants to express another decision. Thank you Chen for respecting me and the team and leaving this important decision to us to announce."

"Yes, after this season, Chen will leave Charlotte. He has got everything he wants here. He has brought everything he can bring to us here. There is no difference between us. The other problems are just because we all know that it is time to say goodbye. When we chose to come to Charlotte to open up wasteland together, we knew that this day would come, and this day is now here."

"I will not be sad because this day has come, nor will Chen, nor any of us. We will only be proud of this great achievement we have achieved together. All of us are proud of the kingdom we have created, This dynasty, this era, thank you Chen, thank you, thank everyone!"

After Michael Jordan finished speaking, his left hand and Chen Xiao's right hand together raised the championship trophy between them high.

There is no doubt that when Chen Xiao and Jordan finish saying these words, what will the NBA, which has been shocked by the Bobcats dynasty, look like.

After all, this is the dynasty Bobcats, this is a dynasty team!

Although many people say that the Bobcats will not have Rose next season, and Granger may be seriously injured and may be disabled, Chen Xiao's dominance in the Eastern Conference will completely disappear, and finally enter the era of the Cavaliers and Bucks.

However, there is no doubt that this is still a dynasty team with the first player in the league.

Although many people say that it is impossible for Chen Xiao to have his era again, it is still possible for him to win a championship or two championships in the Bobcats.

But now, Chen Xiao is leaving the Bobcats, is this going to completely give up the chance to win the championship in the future?

Because Chen Xiao still has a 4-year contract with Bobcats, his departure can only be a transaction.

With Chen Xiao's pride and status, it is impossible for him to go to the Bucks, Heat, Cavaliers, Lakers, and Spurs, which are mature teams with their own ecology.

So, if he goes to an ordinary team that is not that strong, the price this ordinary team has to pay to trade Chen Xiao, even if Jordan wants nothing, just matches Chen Xiao's salary of 40 million, this team, I'm afraid You have to give away half your team.

At that time, this team may have nothing left.

Just like Jordan back then, after Jordan left the Bulls, he didn't go to the Lakers, the Spurs, or other strong teams in the league, but went to the Wizards.

As for Chen Xiao, he is likely to retrace Jordan's path.

So, where will Chen Xiao’s next stop be?

Everyone is guessing, but obviously, everyone knows that no matter where Chen Xiao's next stop is, this stop will be a huge challenge.

Jordan went to challenge the Wizards complacently back then, but returned in the end.

And what about Chen Xiao?

But no matter what, Chen Xiao left the Bobcats and went to a new team, which was enough to make the NBA crazy!
