I’m Really Playing Basketball

Because he met Westbrook, a super local snake, in New York, Master Huo misses the years when he played with Luo Ge.

At this time, absolutely no one in the Spurs misses Master Huo.

At the end of the regular season, the Spurs ranked first in the league with a record of 74 wins and 8 losses, becoming the first Western Conference team in NBA history to win 70 games.

This regular season record is of great significance to the Spurs, and more importantly, the Spurs achieved this record with almost no effort.

Let's put it this way, with Bobo's extremely thief-like character, he wouldn't want this record if it cost too much. Bobo has always been a pragmatist.

Now that the milestone of 70 wins in the regular season has been reached, the Spurs are now focused on moving towards the next goal, that is, creating a dynasty belonging to the Spurs. It can be said that morale is at a high level.

For the Spurs' current strength, being in the Western Conference is really an advantage.

The strength of the Western Conference teams has improved this season, but both the Warriors and the Clippers were swept by the Spurs in the regular season.

These are the second and third teams in the Western Conference. Although their regular season records are not bad, they can also be used as a reference.

Look at the Eastern Conference. The Bucks, who are ranked first in the regular season, will see if they can sweep the Heat, who are second, and the Cavaliers, who are third.

Let's put it this way, the Bucks, Heat, Cavaliers, Raptors, Bobcats, any of these teams will have to shed a layer of skin if they come out of the East.

By the way, the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference during the regular season this season are the Bucks ranked first in the Eastern Conference, the Heat ranked second in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers ranked third, the Raptors ranked fourth, the Bobcats ranked fifth, and the Bobcats ranked sixth. The Celtics, the Pacers in seventh, and the Wizards in eighth.

The Chicago Bulls, who had always been strong in the Eastern Conference before this season, fell out of the playoffs, while the Wizards, who had always been weak, entered the playoffs under the leadership of their young leader James Harden.

This is reaching the playoffs in the Eastern Conference!

James Harden, a 25-year-old young guard, is really outstanding in leading the Wizards.

Considering the strength of the Wizards, James Harden's performance is even more commendable.

Therefore, this season, many people are comparing James Harden, who averages 26 points and 8 assists per game, and Westbrook, the scoring leader and triple-double king, who averages 30+ triple-doubles per game, who is the best guard of the next generation.

One is excellent in leading the team, and the other is excellent in statistics.

The two have also begun to be hyped as a couple by the American media.

Just like Deron and Paul, Curry and Rose.

However, almost ten years have passed. Deron is out of shape in the Bulls and is getting increasingly abscessed. Paul, on the other hand, is still a strong contender for the number one point guard in the league and the most popular superstar in the league.

In the Western Conference, in addition to the top three Spurs, Bobcats and Clippers this season, the fourth to eighth places are the Jazz, Lakers, Timberwolves, Suns and Trail Blazers.

In the West, the most amazing team this season is definitely the Jazz, which surpassed the Timberwolves at the last moment and became the number one team in the Northwest Division.

The Timberwolves have suffered a serious decline in strength due to the departure of Pierce and other players, especially since Garnett is getting older. The team now basically relies on Rondo, Kwame Brown, and David Lee to lead the team.

The team still has a big problem. This season, the Timberwolves can't even find a reliable outside scorer and the team's reliable main offensive point.

So much so that David Lee had the best offensive performance of his career, averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds per game.

The data of 20+10 is excellent for any insider.

However, although David Lee has excellent statistics, he does not have the ability to attack tough situations at critical moments, nor does he have the strength to serve as the core of the team's offense.

He can assist, but cannot be the main attacker.

And this is also the reason why the Timberwolves' record has declined sharply this season.

On the contrary, on the other side, the Jazz have reached their peak. The Jazz's three leading players are 30-year-old Yi Jianlian and 26-year-old DeAndre Jordan, 29-year-old Millsap, and Bobcats' Iliasso. With Watt, Gordon Hayward, who was traded this season, and Chen Jianghua, who is considered an outstanding sixth man in the league, the Jazz have shown extremely strong combat effectiveness this season.

This also allowed Jerry Sloan to once again lead the Jazz to the Northwest Division championship and the top four in the Western Conference after Malone and Stockton separated.

For the Jazz, ten years have passed and they are back on track again.

And Jerry Sloan, after losing Utah, once again completed the rebuilding of this team.

Therefore, after leading the team to fourth place in the regular season this season, Sloan immediately stated that he was getting older and would choose to leave the Jazz head coach position after the season.

In other words, this season is not only Yao Ming's last season, but also Sloan's last season.

Therefore, the Jazz this season are definitely not that easy to mess with.

In addition to the Jazz, the Blazers have also performed very well this season. The reason is that the new leader of the Blazers, Lillard, has performed very well. This second-year player can average 20+ per game this season. With the data of 6, the combination with Batum and Darius Miles is very competitive.

Therefore, generally speaking, with the rise of a new generation of stars such as James Harden of the Wizards, Westbrook of the Knicks, Lillard of the Trail Blazers, and Beasley of the Pacers, the competitiveness of the entire league continues to rise. .

After all, seniors like Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan, Luo Ge, Wade, Rose, Durant, and Curry are still in their prime.

Even Kobe Bryant is still in peak form with the Lakers this season. Kobe can still average more than 25 points per game with the Lakers this season.

This season, Ko's total points have surpassed Joe's, ranking third in NBA history, reaching 33,333 points. He is 3,600 points behind Malone, who ranks second in history, and 3,600 points behind Malone, who ranks first. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 5,000 points short.

With Ke's current physical condition and competitive status, although he can't wait for Ke Xiao to enter the NBA, as long as he is healthy, there is great hope to surpass Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

This season, Kobe can score 2,000 points in one season. In the next three seasons, 5,000 points is actually not a fantasy. Kobe is 36 years old now and 39 years old in three seasons. If he plays for one more year until he is 40 years old, he will surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is even more certain.

It just depends on what Boss Ke thinks now.

Based on Chen Xiao's understanding of Mr. Ke, Mr. Ke would be very curious about this.

Of course, many people said that when Kobe surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he looked up and saw Chen Xiao hanging above him.

This is also quite reasonable.

Because Chen Xiao also became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 30,000 points in the regular season this season after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Jordan, O'Neal, Iverson, Kobe, and Carter.

It was Chen Xiao's 32nd birthday, November 11th. After the end of this season, Chen Xiao's total score had reached more than 32,000 points, which was only 1,000 points away from being the leader of Ke.

Unless Kobe can maintain an average of more than 25 points per game in the next three seasons and surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in three seasons, he is likely to be surpassed by Chen Xiao.

By the way, there are currently 9 players in the NBA who have scored more than 30,000 points. In the last game at the end of the season, Maizi faced the support of the entire team and scored 35 points against the Magic, ultimately ending his career. His total score was pushed to 30,000 points, thus becoming the ninth Mr. 30,000 points.

After Maizi, the next possible 30,000 points should be the driver. The driver is now very close to 30,000 points, and after that...

The closest active players to 30,000 points should be Garnett and Duncan. Pierce, but the three of them, to be honest, are hanging.

So many people say that the next 30,000 points may have to wait until James, Durant and Wade Anthony.

This era is really bright.

In the first 50 years of the NBA, there were only three men with 30,000 points, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Malone and Jordan.

Since Chen Xiao and his group entered the league, there have been six more Mr. 30,000 points in these years.

Malone and Jordan, two men who scored 30,000 points in one era, were regarded as the golden age of the NBA by NBA experts at the time.

So, in this era, there are six 30,000-point players in one era, and in the future there will be Nowitzki, James and Durant, three players who will definitely reach 30,000 points as long as they are not injured.

Nine gentlemen with 30,000 points are in an era. What kind of era should this era be?

Golden words cannot be described.

Therefore, this season, many experts who once favored the past over the present have recently changed their minds, and active players have risen crazily in the rankings of historical status.

Even Jordan said that the quality of stars in this era is overall higher than in his era.

And even the Smiling Assassin and Larry Bird said that there are too many players with offensive talents in this era.

The example he gave was the Pacers' Larry Bird Beasley Jr.

"In our era, Mike's offense will undoubtedly become the most special in the league, but in this era, Mike has Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Iverson above him, and above McGrady, Carter, and Iverson, there are There are Kobe, James, Wade, Durant, and Ray Allen. What’s even more terrifying is that these four are still not the most special. Above them, there is the God of our basketball!”

"For me, it is my luck and my regret to be able to see such an era of dazzling offensive players. However, this is definitely your luck as fans and media!"

"Perhaps, after the end of this era, in the next twenty or thirty years, we will not see such a starry era again. All the stars in this era are great, and they should not be affected by God's starlight. Cover it!”

It can be said that with Westbrook once again hitting 30+ triple-doubles this season, Chen Xiao and Maizi have successively become the eighth and ninth 30,000-point players, which makes this season's regular season extremely special and shocking. .

At the very least, no one had ever thought before that a scoring champion who averaged 30 plus triple-doubles per game would not be able to make the playoffs with his team.

This unimaginable thing happened in this era.

Westbrook's 30+ triple-double has not yet brought the triple-double into the sewer, but it has directly increased the value of this era.

And this is also a very interesting thing.

On April 19, 2014, the first round of the NBA playoffs began.

The Warriors' opponent in the first round is the Suns, seventh in the Western Conference.

Looking at Aldridge on the court who is now leading the Suns, Chen Xiao was quite emotional.

This is another former teammate he met in the playoffs.

In addition, for Lopez, this playoffs with the Suns is also very special because he met his younger brother, Robin Lopez, in the Suns.

This playoffs is a civil war between Lopez.

Both were high draft picks selected by the Timberwolves.

When they were in college and high school, they were both super geniuses with equally equal talents.

But now, the two people's achievements have completely distanced themselves.

Lopez is already the addition of a three-championship dynasty and is also the All-Star starting center, while Lopez has been reduced to an ordinary role player.

Why is there such a big gap between the two?

Many people said that it was because the two of them spent different amounts of time with Chen Xiao.

Lopez has been with Chen Xiao throughout his career, while Lopez only stayed for one season.

In short, although there is no suspense in this playoff showdown between the Warriors and the Suns, there is also a lot of grievances.

Of course, although there are many grievances between the two parties.

Chen Xiao will not hold back when facing Ade, and Lopez will not hold back when facing Lopez.

Therefore, in the first round between the Warriors and the Suns, the Warriors easily eliminated the Suns 4-0.

In this training match, Chen Xiao didn't even exert any effort. He was completely training the team's young players on how to compete in the playoffs.

Of course, the value is certainly limited.

Facing a team like the Suns that lacks defense, this playoffs will be no different from the regular season.

Therefore, the educational significance for young Warriors players is limited.

If the Suns were really a standard playoff team, Chen Xiao would not end this series so quickly.

In the playoffs with the Suns, for these young people of the Warriors, they can feel the atmosphere.

In fact, Chen Xiao felt that even the second round of the playoffs against the Clippers was just to feel the atmosphere.

The truly valuable playoffs have to be those in the Eastern Conference.

Or play in the playoffs with teams like the Spurs, Timberwolves, and Lakers.

It's a pity that after the first round in the Western Conference, except for the Spurs, the Timberwolves and Lakers were eliminated.

In the first round of the Western Conference, in addition to the Warriors eliminating the Suns 4-0, the Spurs also swept the Trail Blazers 4-0, while the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves 4-2.

In this series, Cannon had a conflict with Rondo of the Timberwolves, and they got into a fight. Cannon punched Rondo, and Rondo spat in Cannon's face.

In this series between the Lakers and Jazz, the Jazz also defeated the Lakers 4-2.

Ko, the Jazz killer, performed very well in this series, averaging 32 points per game.

However, the Lakers are indeed too slow and too old...

On the Eastern side, the Bucks, Heat, Cavaliers, Bobcats, and the top four in the Eastern Conference will all advance to the second round without a doubt.

The first round of the playoffs ended, and the league's various awards began to be announced. In the end, the most important award, the regular season MVP, fell to the Spurs' Ron Howard without any suspense.

And Ron Howard also became another player in NBA history to win the MVP Grand Slam.

At the same time, Ron Howard, Chen Xiao, Durant, James, and Yao Ming led the team for a while.

This is also the 12th consecutive time in Chen Xiao's career that he has been selected for the first team.

This also allowed Chen Xiao to surpass Malone and become the player with the most first-team appearances in NBA history and the player with the most consecutive first-team games in the NBA.

12 seasons in his career, 12 first teams, this is really not a seniority like Xiao Zhan in history.

At the same time, this regular season's Defensive Player of the Year award was also won by steals king Ron Howard. This was also the third Defensive Player of the Year award in Luo's career.

Chen Xiao was selected to the defensive first team together with Luo Ge, Leonard, James, and Oden.

And this is also Chen Xiao's 11th consecutive first defense in his career.

In this data, Chen Xiao also ranked first, while the second place was Luo Ge's 10 times.

In fact, looking at it this way, Brother Luo's accumulation of basic honors is quite terrifying.

1 career MVP, 1 FMVP, 8 first-team appearances, 10 first-team defenses, 11 All-Stars,

You can say that he spent most of his career in the Western Conference and took advantage of it, but he did defeat the Eastern Conference's super team in the finals.

Although his record in the finals was not good, with 1 win and 3 losses, he did not stick together. Except for being traded to the Spurs after his rookie season, he has been playing for this team that is not a big city, leading the Spurs to four kills. Entering the finals and winning a championship made his three losses in the finals seem no longer a black mark.

Indeed, the black spots in Luo Ge's career used to be the championship, but now that he has won the championship, there are indeed no black spots worth talking about in his career.

Therefore, many people say that if Luo Ge can lead the Spurs to the championship this season, combined with his 70 wins this season, MVP, AMVP, best defensive player, one team, one defense, and FMVP perfect season, he can even win the championship. Challenging the top ten in history.

This is really not just talk.

Luo Ge's honor accumulation is indeed good, much better than Wade.

In addition to these regular season awards this season, the Best Sixth Man award was given to Parker, which was the first time in his career. The Most Improved Player award was given to the Warriors' Nongmei, who won the award this season. The average points, rebounds, and blocks per game have all improved a lot, and the score has increased by almost 6 points.

In addition to data, strength and stability have also been greatly improved.

In addition, given to the 76ers' McAway, this rookie averaged 16 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2 steals per game this season, and is known as Kidd.

Gobert was selected to the second team of the rookie team.

Yes, a player who averaged less than 10 minutes per game was selected to the rookie second team. This season's rookie level is evident.

And among the second team, Gobert is not the one with the worst statistics. Gion, who averages 13 minutes per game, only has 4 points, and the Bucks' Antetokounmpo only averages 6 points per game.

In fact, historically this season, Adams averaged 3 points per game and was selected as a second-team rookie...

Therefore, many experts believe that this season, except for McAway, Oladipo has no All-Star hope.

This is the trashiest rookie in history.
