I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao led the Warriors to a regular season record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the Western Conference. This sounds indeed amazing.

Many people say that although the Bucks also achieved an astonishing record of 74 wins and 8 losses in the Eastern Conference this year, Curry won the scoring title with an advantage of 0.1 points, beating Kobe Bryant who averaged 30 points per game with 30.1 points per game. It still cannot stop Chen Xiao from being crowned the regular season MVP for the fourth time in his career.

This season the Warriors and Bucks can be said to be the two most successful teams in the entire league this season.

As for Curry of the Bucks, this season also caused the three-point storm that Ray Allen had in the Bucks.

This season, the Bucks' new five of Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Iguodala, and Curry are invincible in the entire league, especially since they have been very restrictive to the Bucks in the past. The defense has also become extremely strong this season.

It's not just that the defense of the other Bucks has become stronger, Curry's defense has also become much stronger, and he has gained weight again this season.

And compared with the previous two seasons when he gained weight and was not very adaptable to his physical condition, which led to offensive instability, this season, Curry has become very stable in all aspects.

The offensive stability and defensive intensity have been qualitatively improved.

In this year's regular season, in the game between the Cavaliers and Bucks, James tried to continue to pick and roll Curry, but the success rate has become not that high.

At the same time, Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant and Iguodala, their help defense speed is too fast.

This season's Bucks are too strong on both offense and defense.

This season, the Warriors are the only team that has not been at a disadvantage against the Bucks.

This season the Warriors and Bucks played 1-1, and the two teams each won one game in the regular season.

As the regular season continues, many people say that Curry, who has risen sharply this season, is leading the MVP rankings.

As long as the Warriors cannot set a new NBA regular season record, the MVP is likely to be Curry.

After all, Chen Xiao has been reducing the number of his shots in order to cultivate the young people within him. Although he is very efficient, his average of 26.5 points, 8 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game does not have that big an advantage. After considering In the stronger competitive environment in the Eastern Conference, Curry is indeed the dominant side.

However, I didn't expect that Chen Xiao and the Warriors actually set a new record for NBA regular season record.

There is no way around this.

This year, in addition to the Warriors and Bucks advancing in the West and East, there are seven other teams in the West and East that have entered the playoffs.

In the Western Conference, the second place is still the Spurs. Although they lost Duncan, the Spurs still have a record of 67 wins and 15 losses. This season, the Spurs are in the Western Conference. In addition to being 1 win and 3 losses against the Warriors, they have faced other Western Conference teams. They still won all 48 games played by their opponents, but in the 30 games they faced in the Eastern Conference, the Spurs had 18 wins and 12 losses. It can be seen from this that Duncan's retirement still has a great impact on the Spurs.

It's just that being in this fish pond in the West makes the Spurs' record look quite amazing.

The third to eighth teams in the Western Conference are the Clippers, Jazz, Lakers, Suns, Trail Blazers and Thunder.

Yes, this season Griffin finally led the Thunder to the playoffs. This is really gratifying.

The Thunder's backup point guard and nephew Guo Ailun also entered the playoffs for the first time in his career.

This is the eldest nephew’s third season in the NBA. The 23-year-old is playing the role of Reggie Jackson’s substitute in the Thunder. The two have very similar styles. Reggie Jackson is known as Little Westbrook, while the eldest nephew is He is known as Reggie Jackson Jr., and the three of them are very reckless and over the top in their playing styles.

Although the boss belongs to the boss, under Chen Xiao's training over the years, the eldest nephew's progress is still very obvious. The eldest nephew can be said to be the first player of the younger generation to learn from him. After all, his uncle was Chen Xiao in the national team. He is a teammate with a family background and was introduced to Chen Xiao by his uncle very early, so his eldest nephew usually calls him 'Uncle Chen' in private.

Chen Xiao watched his eldest nephew grow up. He didn’t have so many bad habits when playing. He had a good defensive attitude and played hard. Apart from the fact that his physical talent was not as good as those of black defenders, he was still very hard-working and had a good football intelligence. Yes, it can almost be said that we strive to do our best in all aspects.

At the age of 23, he has basically developed his potential to the maximum. Whether he can go further in the future depends on his own destiny and whether he can find the most suitable way of playing for his style.

Anyone who has played 2K knows that a high ability value does not mean it is easy to use, nor does it mean it is strong.

The eldest nephew is still qualified to find a path that suits him.

After all, the eldest nephew is now a B+ player.

In the entire Chinese team, after Chen Xiao and Yao Ming withdrew from the Chinese team, except for the big brothers such as Arab League and Hua Tsai, among the younger generation, the eldest nephew has the highest ability value, reaching B+. Although the Chinese team is B- and B-level. There are also some, such as Ding Yanyuhang who is currently in B level.

Generally speaking, before Zhou Qi or even a younger Chinese team player grew up, his eldest nephew was really the mainstay of the current Chinese team and an important main force of the Chinese team in this year's Olympic Games.

In the East, the second to eighth teams in the East are the Cavaliers, Bobcats, Raptors, Celtics, Wizards, Bulls, and Pacers respectively.

In the fiercely competitive Eastern Conference, Westbrook, who has averaged a triple-double for three consecutive seasons this season, still failed to lead the Knicks with Howard and Anthony into the playoffs.

Westbrook did not average 30 points per game this season. Because he was criticized too much, the young Turtle slightly reduced his average number of shots per game. In the first two seasons, he averaged 25+ shots per game. This season is a little less, averaging 23 shots per game and averaging 28.5 points per game. This efficiency is still surprisingly low.

It can only be said that Westbrook really single-handedly pulled the triple-double per game off the altar.

However, Westbrook's three consecutive seasons of averaging a triple-double are not without its benefits. The advantage is that now other players in the league no longer dare to achieve a triple-double.

Now the triple-double has been dragged into the sewer. Not only will he not receive praise for getting a triple-double, he may also be ruined by others and his reputation will be ruined.

Westbrook's crazy collection of statistics in the past three seasons has also reduced the number of players in the league who are collecting statistics. This can be regarded as a major contribution to the NBA.

After all, in the past, as long as players in the NBA reached the contract year, they would be crazy about data.

Ronald Ko once said that double-teaming players in contract years must have miraculous results.

Fortunately, the Warriors do not have such a player.

This season the Warriors are still the strongest offensive team in the league. This season the Warriors can average 125 points per game, which is quite amazing.

Except for Chen Xiao, the Warriors and Klay both averaged more than 20 points per game this season, while Bill and Jokic averaged 16 points and 15 points per game respectively.

In addition to the fact that all five of the Warriors' starters averaged 15 points per game, the Warriors' sixth men Curry Jr. and Lopez also averaged double figures this season.

Therefore, although three important rotation players such as Dragic, Ibaka and Livingston have left this season, and rookie players such as Devin Booker and Powell cannot provide much firepower, the Warriors still maintain their extremely strong performance. Strong firepower.

Of course, compared with the scattered firepower before, the Warriors' firepower has now become very concentrated.

This season, the Warriors' eight important players are Chen Xiao, Nong Mei, Klay, Beal, Jokic, Lopez, Curry and Gobert.

And Gobert is a pure defensive player.

However, although these eight are the main players, other players such as Novak and Barnes, Ding Yanyuhang, Devin Booker and other substitute players also have good combat effectiveness.

During the regular season, when facing teams in the Western Conference, the Warriors can often easily defeat their opponents with four main players and a group of substitutes.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Warriors' record this season is amazing and it looks like they are going all out, in fact, the Warriors play very Buddhist style and rotate a lot.

Except for Chen Xiao who has played in every game this season, the other four starters, Nong Mei, Klay, Beal and Jokic, have played 65 games.

And substitutes such as Curry Jr., Lopez, and Gobert have not played more than 70 games.

This is also the reason why these Warriors players have high scoring statistics. They stagger the rotations, not only are they not tired, but the statistics are also good.

Of course, the premise is that you must be qualified for such a rotation. Obviously, thanks to the Western Conference, the Warriors can play very calmly.

Compared with the Warriors, the Bucks, who had a worse regular season record, played much more tiredly than the Warriors.

On April 16, 2016, the NBA playoffs officially started. As the No. 1 Warriors in the Western Conference, they will face the eighth-ranked Thunder in the Western Conference on the first day of the playoffs.

As a team entering the playoffs for the first time, no one would have thought that the Thunder could defeat the Warriors before this training game, even in one game.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the Warriors easily beat the Thunder 3-0 in this round of the series, they began to blatantly focus on cultivating Devin Booker, Powell, Ding Yanyuhang, etc. on the court. The young players of the team.

Among them, in G4, in addition to Chen Xiao, the starting lineup was replaced by Gobert, Devin Booker, Powell and Ding Yanyuhang. Even Clay, Bill, Nong Mei and Jokic did not play in the game.

Even Chen Xiao was very restrained in the game and kept playing ball for young people like Devin Booker.

Although the Thunder's strength is average and there is not much training value, after all, this is the playoffs, and the Thunder will always have to work hard, so the intensity of the game is still very high, which is very good for Germany. For young people like Wenbu Ke, they still have relatively great value.

After cultivating the team's young players for two consecutive games, in G6, the Warriors' starting five returned and easily defeated the Thunder. Finally, they eliminated the Thunder with a big score of 4 to 2 and advanced to the second round. .

Watching the Warriors play like this against the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, the Bucks, Cavaliers, Bobcats and Raptors in the Eastern Conference were all envious.

In the east, they really can't play like this!

Even the Bucks didn't dare to play like this when facing the eighth-ranked Pacers in the Eastern Conference.

Why, because even the eighth-ranked Pacers in the Eastern Conference are really strong!

In G1, as soon as they came up, the Pacers led by Beasley and Love gave the Bucks, who were number one in the Eastern Conference, a showdown.

In the first game, the two teams played two overtimes to decide the winner. In this game, Love almost penetrated the Bucks' inside line. This was not the case between Dream Chaser and Antetokounmpo. The defense is not good, but Love is too accurate.

As an insider, he made 7 of 11 three-pointers in a game. Who can withstand this?

Love can shoot no matter what he wants in this game. When he can make any shot, you have to strengthen your defense. The key is that if you strengthen your defense, he can still draw fouls.

This will be difficult for you to do.

Although the Bucks won the game in the end, Love, who scored 51 points, and Beasley, who scored 40 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists on 11-of-24 shooting, really stunned the Bucks. .

In the playoffs, a team has a triple-double of 40+ and a 50+. This is the first time in NBA history that such statistics have appeared.

On the Bucks side, Curry and Durant both scored 40+ points, Curry scored 42 points, and Durant scored 40 points. In other words, in this magical game, there were a total of 4 40+ players. , By the way, Dream Green had 25 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks in this game. These statistics are no different from these four 40+ players.

In this game, the Bucks, led by Dream Chaser and Antetokounmpo Iguodala, had 12 steals and 12 blocks, which is also a record.

In short, many experts and fans were shocked after the G1 game between the first and eighth teams in the Eastern Conference.

A mere eighth in the Eastern Conference can actually explode with such combat effectiveness. Look at the teams in the Western Conference that are like insects in front of the Warriors and Spurs.

Many experts shouted after the game: "I want to change the first vote for MVP to Curry!"

This whole thing makes people a little bit dumbfounded.

Of course, these experts must be joking.

After all, the Warriors have a record of 28 wins and 2 losses against these teams in the Eastern Conference this year, with a winning rate of over 90%, while the Bucks have a record of 46 wins and 6 losses in the Eastern Conference, with a winning rate of 88.5%, which is still low. a little.

Of course, it is a fact that the Bucks have played more games in the Eastern Conference and it is more difficult.

Therefore, the Bucks performed very well, but the Warriors were not bad either.

As for the data…

Chen Xiaozhen wants data, but to be honest, Curry is not qualified.

Based on the record of the Warriors and Bucks this year, as well as the performance of Chen Xiao and Curry, either one of them can win the MVP.

After the first round, the league announced the regular season MVP candidate. In the end, Chen Xiao defeated Curry with a voting rate of 35.44%, and Curry’s voting rate was 27.69%. It can be seen that the two are really close. .

It can be seen from the vote rate that this year's first and second votes were almost taken away by two people, and Chen Xiao received more first votes.

In the end, Chen Xiao was crowned the regular season MVP for the fourth time in his career.
