I’m Really Playing Basketball

On October 28, 2014, the day of the NBA opening game, the Warriors faced the Lakers at home at the Oracle Center in Oakland, Golden State.

It’s the beginning of another NBA year, the Lakers are another year older, and the Warriors are another year mature.

The opponents of the two teams in the opening game last season were each other. Last season, Kobe lamented that one of the two teams was rising and the other was declining.

This summer, the Lakers, who retained the Gasol brothers, were almost completely locked in salary space. In the end, the team's star guard Joe Johnson finally left the Los Angeles Lakers and returned to the New Jersey Nets because he could not renew his contract.

For the Lakers, getting Boozer may be one of the few gains this summer.

However, such a gain is impossible to change the face of the Lakers.

Therefore, for the current Lakers, they are getting further and further away from the championship.

Even Co., who refuses to admit defeat, knows that his mission at the end of his career is no longer to pursue a championship.

He doesn't need to lie to himself or say much else.

Now his biggest career goal has become to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar faster than Chen Xiao, and become the total scoring leader in NBA history.

As for the championship...

He has led his team to the finals six times in his career, winning three championships and three runner-ups. This is almost the final word in his career.

By the way, the three runner-up places were all lost to Chen Xiao, his die-hard fan.

Before the game, Ke Lao and Chen Xiao, a pair of idols and fans, had a very cordial exchange. Xiao Ke and Xiao Chen were also on the sidelines. They are also very good friends.

Because the two little guys are hanging out in Golden State, they are also rivals of each other.

Of course, although Xiao Ke is one year younger, Xiao Ke is the number one genius in the United States, while Xiao Chen is at best a relatively famous genius in California, so although the two are rivals, Xiao Ke is also someone Xiao Chen looks up to. exist.

So when the two little guys stand together, it is obvious that they have completely different temperaments.

As the number one genius in the United States and the apprentice of Chen Xiao, the number one basketball player, Xiao Xiaoke, who is only 10 years old, already has a sense of arrogance in his body. In this regard, he looks like his father when he was young.

Boss Ke also likes the arrogance in Xiao Ke, so he never dissuades him and even supports him.

If you don't accept it, just do it. Our Ke family is so strong and invincible!

Compared with Xiao Xiaoke, Xiao Xiao Chen, who is now only 11 years old, is much more mature and stable.

Wade's big cheek once said to Chen Xiao that your little Chen is more like Ron than you.

Good guy, this is really the case.

Xiao Chen was a fan of Brother Ke when he was a child, but as he grew older, he became more and more fond of Brother Luo.

Generally speaking, whenever there is a game between Chen Xiao and Kobe Bryant in the past two years, the two little guys will be there. After all, they are both in California and very close.

Moreover, for the two little guys, the game between Kobe and Chen Xiao is also special to them.

Of course, for Chen Xiao, the game against Kobe is also very special.

Kobe is his idol, and now he really has one less game.

Just like many NBA players now regard the game with him as a very important and ritual game.

This is the legendary treatment.

Chen Xiao gave Boss Ke the legendary respect.

Others are also giving Chen Xiao legendary treatment.

This is also a kind of inheritance.

Of course, the contest between Chen Xiao and Kobe has another meaning for fans, that is, the two are the players with the most points in the current regular season.

Who of the two can surpass Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first has become a topic of great concern to everyone.

For example, before the game, Barkley said with a smile: "I will support Kobe. He has nothing to ask for now. Lakers fans even pay attention to Lakers games now, not about the team's victory, but about the distance between Kobe and Malone." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it's a little closer."

Not only Lakers fans, the Warriors fans at the scene were also very interested in Kobe's score.

After this season, Ko will be able to start his retirement scoring tour in the NBA.

This is no joke.

From now on, wherever Mr. Ke goes, he will receive applause and cheers from everyone.

Let's just talk about this game. The Lakers' Gasol succeeded in jumping the ball. In the first wave of the Lakers' offense, Kevin Ko received a pass from Jeremy Lin and hit a turn-over jumper against Klay, which aroused the attention of the fans in the audience. cheers.

There is no doubt that in every Lakers game from now on, fans will not first pay attention to whether the Lakers won, but how many points Kobe scored.

The Lakers are also very clear about this, and so is Phil Jackson, the head coach of the Lakers.

It's just to create more offensive opportunities for Kobe. As for the rest, it really doesn't matter.

Therefore, Gasol and Gasol are on the court to create opportunities for Kobe to score.

On the court, the Gasol brothers don't even watch the basket most of the time.

And Jeremy Lin and other Lakers outside players are all like this, shooting?

No, our goal is not the basket, not shooting, but delivering the basketball in our hands to the hands of the boss.

Under this style of play, Kobo took 14 shots in the first quarter and 14 shots in a single quarter, scoring 19 points.

The Lakers took 25 shots as a team.

It can be seen that the Lakers' rhythm is also getting faster.

It's not the rhythm of offense and defense, it's the rhythm of shots.

Because everyone doesn't have to think about tactics and there is no chance for Kobe to pass the ball, everyone doesn't have to waste game time, just shoot quickly.

In this way, the Lakers players are actually happy. After all, their statistics will look good.

Of course, the Lakers' opponents will also be happy.

The Lakers scored 31 points in the first quarter, and the Warriors scored 35 points.

At the end of the game, the score of this game was 131 to 115.

Clark made 18 of 37 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 45 points in the game.

As for Chen Xiao, in this game, he made 15 of 25, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 42 points in the game.

By the way, in this game, in addition to Ko and Chen Xiao, Clay also scored 40+, making 14 of 18 from the field, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 41 points.

In this game, Boss Ke and Clay faced off for the whole game, and they actually had an inseparable exchange of blows.

Although Brother Ke is not defensive with his eyes on the defensive end, he is indeed unable to keep up with Clay.

In addition, Klay is in really good shape this season.

By the way, Jokic, a rookie in this game, came on as a substitute and played 21 minutes. He made 4 of 8 shots and scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.

As a rookie, although he was only a substitute in this game, his tactical status in the team is very high.

Dragic and Ibaka revolve around him.

Everyone can see that the Warriors want to focus on cultivating Jokic.

Coupled with the special relationship between Jokic and Chen Xiao.

Even though he is a rookie, his current status in the team is higher than that of Gobert who came last season.

Almost the same team status as Dragic and Ibaka.

In this game against the Lakers, his performance did not disappoint everyone. The team trusts him, and he can really produce data and performance that the team trusts.

In this game, both his offensive organization and his shooting were very good, but his defense was a little lacking and he was not as smart as Lopez.

However, this is understandable, after all, he is a rookie.

All in all, the Warriors were very satisfied with their victory in this game against the Lakers.

The Lakers are certainly very satisfied with this game.

As soon as the game ended, the Lakers' official website hit the number 340,001.

Yes, Ko's 45 points in this game made him the third player in NBA history to push his total score to the 34,000-point milestone.

At the same time, he is still 2,927 points away from Malone. If there are 81 games left, if Kobe wants to surpass Malone, Kobe needs to average 36.15 points per game in the next 81 games.

It may seem like an impossible goal.

However, considering the pursuit of the Lakers this season, considering the strength of the Lakers and the environment of the weak teams in the Western Conference, and considering that every team is willing to see the Lakers indulge in scoring rather than winning.

This goal is actually not unattainable.

In fact, Brother Ke is not in bad shape, nor is his strength. In the past few seasons, he has averaged about 26 points per game and shot over 46% from the field.

There is no problem with Brother Ke's strength and stamina, and he also has the support of the team and the blessing of his opponents.

Just hit a few weaklings hard and you'll be fine.

In fact, two days later, when the Lakers faced the Jazz in their second game of the season, Kobe took 50 shots, 24 of 50, 8 of 21 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. Scored 66 points.

Moreover, this data seems to be fake, but in fact, this game is really not fake.

Because of this game, the Lakers defeated the Jazz at home 105-100. At the same time, in the fourth quarter of this game, Bryant made 8 of 16, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 23 points in the fourth quarter. point!

Even Chen Xiao, who was watching this game in front of the TV, called Boss Ke's performance in this game and called him a good guy.

Of course, in addition to praising Ko's performance, Chen Xiao also praised the Gasol brothers for their pick-and-roll and passing skills, which are really good!

When the Gasol brothers assist someone to score, as long as you have enough strength and opportunities, you really are not afraid of not being able to score.

This summer, the Lakers did not keep Joe Johnson but Gasol, which can only be said to be a great value.

Back to the Warriors, the Warriors' opponent in the second game was the Kings.

In this away game against the Kings, the Warriors defeated the Kings led by rookie No. 1 pick Wiggins 130-77.

At the end of this game, the Warriors scored 130+ points in two consecutive games.

Although the Lakers and Kings are not that strong.

However, this also shows that the Warriors, who ranked first in the league in points per game last season, have maintained the team's offensive status this season and seem to be getting better.

Klay and the Warriors' young players are in really good shape this season.

It can be seen that before this season, Chen Xiao said that the Warriors' goal this season is the championship, which boosted the morale of these young Warriors.

After two seasons of growth, they can finally accompany Chen Xiao to compete for the NBA's highest honor.

On November 2, the Warriors challenged the Trail Blazers led by Lillard in back-to-back away games. Lillard performed poorly in this game. He only made 4 of 18 shots and scored 11 points. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 121-97 away from home. By.

On November 5th, the Warriors returned to their home court to face their old rival Clippers. In this offensive battle, the Warriors once again scored 130+ points, defeating the Clippers 131-124 at home.

In the next two games, the Warriors defeated Houston and the Suns back-to-back on the 8th and 9th respectively.

November 11th is Chen Xiao’s birthday, and on this day, the Warriors will be a guest to challenge the Spurs, the league’s defending champion and a dynasty challenger this season.

Many people say that the Spurs have only four most important games in a season in the Western Conference, and that is the four games against the Warriors.

The same is true for the Warriors. With the decline of the Lakers, Timberwolves and Mavericks, in the entire Western Conference, the only one the Warriors can consider as their competitor is the Spurs.

For the Spurs and Warriors, there are 52 games in the Western Conference in a season, and the remaining 48 games can be just a show-off, but the games against the opponent must be taken seriously.

This game is like that.

The two teams played very seriously and anxiously in every quarter.

The game was 29-28 in the first quarter, 21-19 in the second quarter, 32-30 in the third quarter, and 31-32 in the fourth quarter. Finally, at the end of the game, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 113-109 at home.

By the way, for this game, the Warriors changed their starting lineup, starting with Jokic, Big Eyebrow, Chen Xiao, Clay and Beal.

This is also the first time Jokic has started in the NBA in his career. His starting has enhanced the Warriors' offensive strength inside and put more pressure on the Spurs' inside. At the same time, it has also added Lopez to the Warriors' bench rotation. This offensive strength can compete with the Spurs' strongest rotation in the NBA.

In this game, the Warriors were able to withstand the Spurs in every quarter, and Jokic took the greatest credit.

Even though Jokic's personal data in this game was only 2 of 6, 9 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, it looked average.

Many times Jokic's role on the court cannot be reflected by data.

With Jokic on the court, the Warriors' offensive operation is indeed better than when Lopez was there.

Even in this game, the Warriors' offensive hub is Jokic, and Chen Xiao is attacking around him.

Although the Warriors lost this game, they also gained the confidence to compete with the strongest team in the league.

On the other side, in this game, Chen Xiao, who made 11 of 14, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scored 28 points in the game, has reached a career total of 32,300 points, thus surpassing Jordan. Became the fourth-leading scoring player in NBA history.

This is the 13th season of Chen Xiao's career. He has just played less than 10 games and surpassed Jordan, who played 15 seasons.

It is worth mentioning that at this time last season, on Chen Xiao’s 31st birthday, his career total reached 30,000 points.

Three days later, the Spurs faced the Mavericks. On Luo's 32nd birthday, he also reached his milestone, reaching 21,000 points in his career.

Many people may not know that Brother Luo is actually three days younger than Chen Xiao.

Among the three brothers, Wade is actually the oldest and Luo Ge is the youngest.

Chen Xiao originally called him Brother Luo, not because of his age.

Wade was called Xiaotai by Chen Xiao not because of his age.

After the game against the Spurs, the record was 8 wins and 1 loss.

The only game they lost was the Eastern Conference's fourth consecutive away game against the Bobcats.

In this schedule, the opponent is the Bobcats again. There is really no way to do this. However, in the previous home game, the Lakers defeated the Bobcats 118-115.

The two teams played two games this season in November, with a record of 1 win and 1 loss, a 50-50 split. You know, in the past two seasons, the Warriors had such a disadvantage against the Bobcats that it was unbearable to look at, and they lost all of them. .

The Bobcats were unhappy with the Warriors taking away Chen Xiao. They were really trying to beat the Warriors to death.

It can be seen that this season, the Warriors are indeed stronger.

Throughout October and November, the Warriors had a record of 14 wins and 2 losses, an incredible record.

However, it is still ranked second, and also second in the league, because the Spurs, who are first, have won all 16 games so far.

The Spurs and Warriors this season are exactly like the Spurs and Warriors in history.

Historically, the Spurs have 67 wins and 15 losses, and have faced the Warriors with 73 wins and 9 losses.

This season the Warriors and Spurs really have a bit of this flavor.

Of course, the situation has definitely changed.

All I can say is that the current Spurs are truly terrifying. There is no doubt that this team is a dynasty team, one of the strongest and most comprehensive teams in history.

It is precisely because of the Spurs' outstanding record that in the end, Chen Xiao defeated Luo Ge for the Best of the Month in November.

Well, in November, Chen Xiao defeated Brother Luo.

There is no way, November is the month when Chen Xiao surpasses Jordan, and the advantage in public opinion lies with Chen Xiao, not Luo Ge.

All I can say is that sometimes awards are really unreasonable.
