I’m Really Playing Basketball

When Chen Xiao returned to the United States, it was already October 3rd. When Chen Xiao returned to the United States, the NBA team had already opened training camp and the preseason was about to begin.

Because Chen Xiao and the Warriors are the defending champions, they also have to represent the NBA in the International Blue Federation's Basketball Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup is an international basketball club cup established by the NBA last year. Last year's champion was the Warriors and was held in Madrid.

This year, it came to Asia, in Tokyo.

The reason why the second edition did not come to the United States or China is mainly because there will not be many fans in the United States to watch it. For American audiences, the Club World Cup is just a pre-season game. For American audiences, it will not be the World Championships. How many viewers are there.

In the 2002 World Championships, the World Championships in the United States, and the American team's games, there were not even as many American fans as there were opponents.

Therefore, the Club World Cup has no future in the United States.

But it is different in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and other places.

Especially in Asia.

The NBA is extremely popular in Asia right now.

Therefore, the second edition was held in Tokyo, the number one city in Asia.

The reason why it was not placed in China is mainly because when the cities were arranged last year, NBA officials did not think that the Warriors would defend the title.

At that time, most people were optimistic that the Bucks would win the championship.

When the Bucks defeat Chen Xiao's Warriors and come to China to compete, it will be embarrassing for both sides.

So the location was set in Tokyo.

However, who allowed the Warriors to win the championship last season?

This somewhat embarrassed the NBA's official forecasting actuaries.

However, the third Club World Cup will be held in Yancheng. This is of course optimistic that the Warriors can win the NBA championship next season.

The Warriors are indeed very popular now, because the season is about to start, so the major media in the NBA have also begun to announce various rankings.

For example, as the number one player in the league, Chen Xiao has been recognized as the number one player in the league by major media outlets in the United States for 12 consecutive seasons.

And except for Chen Xiao, who is the first player in the league, Chen Xiao is ranked first, Ron Howard is ranked sixth, and Wade is ranked tenth. The Warriors have three top ten players.

In addition, other players of the Warriors have thick eyebrows ranked 15th in the league, while Jokic is 21st and Klay is 26th. Among the top 30 stars in the league, the Warriors occupy six places. .

Not to mention Carter, Curry Jr. is also a top 50 star.

With eight top 50 players on a team, it is natural that such a team is favored.

According to many experts, the only factor that will affect the Warriors' success next season is whether the Warriors' old guys can hold on under the Bucks' crazy defense. As long as these old guys are physically fit enough to cope with the intensity brought by the Warriors, then the Warriors The team has a great chance of winning the championship.

Before the start of the season, Warriors fans posted a photo of Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, Carter, Big Eyebrow, Jokic, and Klay on the Internet, and underneath the picture it read, "Who can guard this?" Offensive line!”

In short, as the new season is about to begin, the entire NBA's expectations for the Warriors can be described as full.

By the way, at this time, public opinion in the United States, in addition to looking forward to the Warriors' performance next season, is also crazily criticizing the performance of the American team in this year's Olympics.

Let's put it this way, in the Olympic Games held in the Americas, the American team performed the worst performance in history. This is definitely not something that can be easily let go.

Historically, Pierce failed at the 2002 World Championships in his home country, which led to Pierce being blacklisted throughout his career.

The United States does not pay much attention to the World Championships, but the American audience attaches great importance to the Olympic Games.

Therefore, the meeting has been held for a month since September, and the popularity is still very high.

In particular, Popovich will not talk about the major criminals in this Olympics.

He is the head coach and it is normal for him to be called upon.

He is the number one war criminal, and in addition to Popovich, the two core members of the US team, Oden and Leonard, are also having crazy meetings.

Especially inside support Oden.

Let's put it this way, after all, Leonard was only the second in charge of the Spurs before. Although he has grown rapidly recently, everyone actually thinks that he is just a role player who counterattacks.

Even after Leonard was eliminated by Granger's Clippers, Durant directly spoke out for his senior brother Granger on the Internet: "A true superstar!"

Granger returned from injury and performed well in the playoffs. As a junior, there is nothing wrong with Durant being so supportive of his senior.

But the other meaning of Durant's words is that Leonard is a false superstar?

Therefore, whether it is in terms of recognition or traffic, Leonard is not qualified to hold such an intensive meeting.

But Oden is different.

Oden is the chosen one, the proud son of God who has high hopes in the entire United States. He carries the hopes and expectations of the United States.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Oden is the real leader of the US team this time.

But Oden performed extremely poorly in the Olympics.

Let’s not talk about the data first, let’s talk about the performance. In the quarter-finals of this year’s Olympic Games, Oden was beaten directly by Serbia’s two centers Milicic and Jokic.

Not only did he lose the match, he even lost his mentality in the end and took the initiative to fight with Milicic, and was knocked out by Milicic with one punch.

This is so disappointing.

Let's put it this way, if Oden and Milicic won the fight, the American media might not be so negative about him.

But your performance in the game was defeated, and you were knocked out with one punch in the fight. Moreover, this team is the successor of the former Yugoslavia and the feud of the United States team.

With so many BUF bonuses, it would be strange if Oden wasn't turned into carbon.

As Xiao Zhan's brother, Chen Xiao also knows some of Oden's situation. Oden is indeed very uncomfortable now.

Oden has never been a player with strong mental endurance. Ever since he entered the NBA, he has been compared with Durant. Now he has finally become the core of the Super Giants and the US team, but others still compare him with Durant.

Back then, Durant led the U.S. team to a great victory in the Olympics, but lost to Chen Xiao. It is not a shame to lose to Chen Xiao, the god of basketball, but you, Oden, led the U.S. team to only qualify fourth in the group, and then ranked fourth in the knockout rounds. Out in one round.

Is this gap too big?

Just like James is Durant's inner demon in history.

In this time and space, Durant is definitely Oden's inner demon.

Therefore, American fans and the media use Durant to criticize Oden, which is what makes Oden break the defense the most.

And Xiao Zhan said that Oden is very defensive now, and he and the Cavaliers are also giving Oden a psychological massage.

In this regard, Chen Xiao is also very sympathetic to Oden.

It can only be said that the NBA's number one center last season was indeed unlucky.

Chen Xiao joined the Warriors training camp in the United States team and practiced with Warriors players for two days. On October 7, Chen Xiao and the Warriors came to Tokyo to participate in the Basketball Club World Cup amid much anticipation.

For NBA players, Tokyo is a very uncomfortable place.

Although there are many red light districts in Japan, there is an unspoken rule in the red light districts here that they generally do not accept foreign customers.

This is very embarrassing.

Many NBA stars have had embarrassing incidents like this happen here in Japan before.

Of course, this time the Warriors come to participate in the World Cup, there is no need for this.

Even Chen Xiao, although every day the Japanese media can photograph Chen Xiao having secret meetings with certain Japanese idols, even the most popular female idol in Japan, Hashimoto Kanna, has been photographed having secret meetings with Chen Xiao several times. , but, this time, everyone is actually innocent.

After all, Chen Xiao is leading the team to compete this time, and his teammates are all banning something. As the boss, are you not very good at singing and singing every night?

Of course it's not good.

Although this Club World Cup game is very simple, it doesn't matter even if the Warriors players sing every night.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao came to Japan this time, he took his teammates for a pure competition and travel.

After the game was over, it was already October 25th.

On the day they left, Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, and Carter accepted interviews with Japanese local media.

In Japan, apart from Chen Xiao, the other three players are also very popular. However, the Warriors players such as Big Eyebrow, Jokic, and Klay, who are very popular in the United States, are basically not popular in Japan.

Of course, although everyone is very popular, the most popular one is definitely Chen Xiao.

Although Chen Xiao let Japanese media reporters break their guard every time, they would actively ask to interview Chen Xiao every time he came.

It's the same this time.

This time Chen Xiao comes to Japan, it will definitely be impossible to avoid Hashimoto Kanna's problem.

After this 17-year-old girl shone in the world at this year's Olympics, the audience in Japan went crazy.

The first question Chen Xiao received during this interview was.

"Chen Sang, you are Miss Kanna Hashimoto's teacher. Many expert coaches in our country believe that Miss Hashimoto has the strength and potential to enter the WNBA. Do you think she has the strength and potential to play in the WNBA? Do you think she will become a WNBA player? A star?"

Regarding this issue, Chen Xiao understands the background, because in China, Beyond Sister is already preparing for the draft on April 13, 2017.

And the prediction of his draft pick surpassing his younger sister is not low, it should be said to be high.

If the NBA does not need the commercial value of Chinese players, it mainly values ​​​​strength. Strength is the most important, and commercial value is secondary.

So for the WNBA, business and strength are both important.

There is no doubt that Beyond Sister is now about equal emphasis on strength and business. Not to mention strength, it is the best lineup in the Olympic Games. In terms of business, Beyond Sister is now very popular in China.

Any private photo or candid photo will be wildly sought after.

This is the advantage of being beautiful.

Some time ago, sister Chaoyue took Xiao Chen to XJ for a trip, and was photographed wearing Turkmen clothing, which simply made male netizens in China go crazy.

Many netizens said that these were the most beautiful photos of ethnic minority costumes. Chen Xiao was the first to see the photos that surpassed her younger sister.

Because before the photographer of the photo studio leaked it, Chaoyue's sister sent him a private message to see the photo.

Well, it is indeed beautiful.

Even Chen Xiao, who has seen countless people, thinks it is beautiful, and her agility is stretched to the extreme.

To be honest, as a Han girl, she can control exotic clothes to such an extent. I can only say that her appearance is indeed amazing, surpassing that of her younger sister.

After all, a truly beautiful thing is beautiful no matter how you make it.

Her commercial value, which surpasses that of her younger sister, also originates from her appearance.

Although Sister Chaoyue did not enter the entertainment industry in the end, her popularity in the country is now far beyond that of ordinary actresses in the entertainment industry.

In this case, she has such strong basketball ability, how could the WNBA let her go.

This is simply the female version of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

Therefore, now she surpasses her sister and ranks first in the WNBA draft predictions, surpassing Kelsey Plum and Alina Coates.

The biggest favorite for the No. 1 pick.

Then, the media in Japan saw it, so they started crazy hyping that Hashimoto Kanna might also participate in the draft and enter the NBA.

He can even compete with his younger sister for the top spot.

She is stronger and more popular than her younger sister, and my Hashimoto Kanna is not bad either. You are the Elf Queen, I am the Elf Princess, you are China’s treasure, and she is Japan’s treasure.

If you can enter the WNBA, sister Hashimoto can too!

In fact, Hashimoto Kanna himself is also very troubled.

She actually wants to try out for the WNBA, but her height is only 1.52 meters, which is still the height when wearing shoes. Her real height is only 1.5 meters. This height will indeed put some pressure on Hashimoto Kanna's younger sister. She was afraid that she would not perform well in the United States and worry about gains and losses, which would affect her popularity in Japan.

If she performs well in the WNBA, she can naturally go one step further and even become the number one idol in Japan. After playing for two years and returning to China, she will be unbeatable.

but……

In short, there are good and bad, she is a real idol, there is no way she can be as cool as her younger sister.

Chen Xiao naturally supports Hashimoto Kanna to go to the United States to participate in the draft.

"As Kanna-chan's teacher, I know her strength very well. With her current strength, she has no problem gaining a foothold in the WNBA. Although the competition in the WNBA may be very fierce, she doesn't need to be afraid of anything. Of course, I Although I support her going to the United States, I will support any choice she makes."

When Chen Xiao said this, the Japanese reporters became excited. They were quite aware of Chen Xiao's influence on Hashimoto Kanna. Since Chen Xiao said so, there should be no problem.

Japanese reporters were even more excited about Chen Xiao's recognition of Hashimoto Kanna's strength.

"Chen Sang, how are you so sure that Kanna-chan will be able to gain a foothold in the WNBA?"

Regarding this question, Chen Xiao imitated Ah Lian's expression, smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple, even though Kanna Jiang looks thin, but every time she plays one-on-one with me, she always creates a lot of things for me that other people can't. Even for me, Kanna-chan is a good one-on-one partner."

"..."

After Chen Xiao said this, the Japanese reporters at the scene widened their eyes and fell silent.

Is this singles serious?

Then, this group of people broke through the defense collectively.

Do you still need to ask this question? Don’t you know Chen Xiao’s reputation over the years?

Therefore, after Chen Xiao left Japan with the Warriors players, there was crazy verbal and written criticism of Chen Xiao, as if Chen Xiao had stolen a bunch of their national treasures this time when he came to Japan.

Chen Xiao didn't care at all.

It's none of my business if you break the defense.

And Chen Xiao returned to the United States with the Warriors, and the new NBA season of 2016-27 is about to begin.
