I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 805 The inheritance of NBA and the end of youth

After winning this strong dialogue with the Bucks, the Warriors won all seven games in the following March.

In these seven games, the Warriors' opponents are all Western Conference teams. Except for the Spurs, the remaining teams such as the Thunder, Mavericks, Kings, and Houston are all lottery teams.

So the March schedule after beating the Bucks is really too friendly to the Warriors.

With this wave of winning streak, the Warriors' record after March became 74 wins and 2 losses.

Looking at this record alone, the Warriors' regular season performance this season can simply be described as brutal.

Time came to April and the Warriors were sprinting towards an 80-win record in the regular season. However, on April 2, after the Warriors defeated the Wizards led by James Harden 139-115 at home, they needed to interrupt their sprint. .

Because April 3rd, US time, is the day of the NCAA finals. On this day, the NBA does not have no games like before. Now the NBA will not give way to the NCAA.

Of course, the NCAA's status in the American basketball world is still high, so the NBA's failure to make way for the NCAA is just a show of force, and it will not really have a fight with the NCAA on this day. If it really happened, many NBA stars would not do it. If there was a game for their alma mater on this day, they would not even be interested in playing NBA games.

It is precisely because it is just a show that the NBA does have a game on the day of the NCAA finals, but there is only one game, and it is a game like the Timberwolves playing the Trail Blazers.

In addition to showing that the NBA is not afraid of the NCAA, such a game can actually change nothing.

Since there will be no competition on April 3rd, and Chen Xiao has received an invitation from the NCAA, he will naturally participate in the NCAA finals.

In fact, this year the NCAA not only invited Chen Xiao, but also Wade and Ron Howard.

After all, for the NCAA, Marquette University's G3 was recognized by the NCAA as the number one team in history and the number one idol team.

The combination of these three people in the Warriors this year has made the American basketball world agitated for a whole season. If we don't take advantage of their popularity now, when will we take advantage of their popularity?

After all, before this year's NCAA finals started, it was predicted to be one of the most boring NCAA finals in NCAA history.

Not even one.

Why do you say that?

Because the two teams in this year's NCAA finals, Gonzaga and the University of North Carolina, do not have a few players with high draft picks, the players are mediocre, and the team's style of play is nothing worthy of praise.

It's like the Champions League final, which ended up being Porto and Monaco.

Do they deserve to play in the final?

Of course it's worthy.

But if you are a fan, when you see Porto playing Monaco, you will subconsciously think that the quality of this Champions League final will be very average.

Of course, the University of North Carolina is one of the top five teams in the NCAA, but this North Carolina team is indeed not star-studded enough.

Basketball values ​​​​stars more than football.

Therefore, if this year's NCAA finals is the University of Washington playing UCLA, and Fultz playing Lonzo Ball, it will definitely be exciting and it will definitely not be boring at all.

The most popular star in the NCAA this year is UCLA's Lonzo Ball. The ball dad and his genius son are crazy about the popularity, rubbing against Chen Xiao, rubbing against Jordan, rubbing against Wade, rubbing against Ron Howard, rubbing against the Warriors, it can be said that I rubbed everything I could.

Although the ball dad's remarks are crazy, I have to say that such remarks have really raised the fans' expectations for Lonzo Ball. Everyone wants to see what the ball dad says about him. Xiao, what would a genius look like when he punches Jordan or even a magician?

Therefore, Lonzo Ball's popularity in the United States is really high now.

And Fultz is the most talented player this year.

According to the evaluation of a well-known talent show website in the United States.

The perfect rookie score is 100 points, Fultz is 85 points, Lonzo Ball is 84 points, and Josh Jackson is 83 points.

In addition to these three points, the highest scores were De'Aaron Fox and Dennis Smith's 78 points, and Tatum and Malik Monk's 77 points.

So the question is, in this year's NCAA finals, North Carolina plays Gonzaga. Who is the highest-rated player on these two teams, and what is his score?

Gonzaga University's Zach Collins, this template is Gasol's inside, his rating is 74 points.

Then there was UNC's Justin Jackson's 72 points.

It can be said that the two teams in this year's NCAA finals were able to enter the finals because these two teams have more senior players, larger bodies and higher tactical abilities than other teams.

Other than that, there are no highlights.

Of course, although the excitement of the game may not be too high to the naked eye, dreams are priceless.

Competitive sports can never say that mediocre players are not qualified to pursue their dreams, nor can they say that only talented players such as Lonzo Ball, Fultz and Tatum can pursue their dreams.

On April 3, 2017, the University of Phoenix Stadium can accommodate 70,000 people to watch the game.

On the court, the game between Gonzaga University and the University of North Carolina is continuing, but the commentators such as Barkley, Grant Hill, and Kenny Smith have been focusing on several key guests in this game. .

Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, Jordan, Carter and others.

Just as everyone expected before the game, this game was indeed ugly to the naked eye.

The University of North Carolina, which won the championship in the end, didn't even have the ability to do anything on the ground in the game. When it entered the finals, it relied on its size and size to bully others. However, it met Gonzaga University, which had the same size and size. Naturally, there is no advantage.

Originally, the two teams were already full of all kinds of ugly elements due to lack of agility, so the referee in this game had to add extra drama.

The constant whistles broke the already rhythmless game into pieces.

After the referee almost sent off the main insiders on both sides, the game became a rough-and-tumble battle between the two teams' outside players.

For many NBA fans who are used to watching Warriors games, watching such a game must be like going to jail.

Of course, for North Carolina and Gonzaga fans, it's completely different.

Such a game is definitely not prepared for neutral fans.

Therefore, the ratings will not be high to the naked eye.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Barkley and others put their hope of saving ratings in Chen Xiao and Jordan.

Naturally, Chen Xiao, as a guest, did not know about the behavior of ending the scene.

The game was indeed not good to watch, but as a guest, he was still happy for the players on both sides of the court.

Especially as an award guest, he also presented the MOP trophy tonight to Joel Berry, a young point guard from the University of North Carolina. Tonight he scored 22 points and 6 assists, and this is also He scored 20 points in the NCAA finals for the second consecutive time in his NCAA career.

The last player to accomplish such an achievement was Bill Walton.

This little point guard is undoubtedly the key player in the NCAA.

However, although his performance in the NCAA was very good, it was basically a dream to enter the NBA with his talent. This genius who was once ranked 14th in the United States when he graduated from high school and the top three point guards in the United States, because he did not have it in college. If you increase your height, your career is bound to stop there.

This is also the fate of many former geniuses in the United States.

Those nationally renowned geniuses who have fallen behind are really not because they didn’t work hard.

Sometimes, hard work really doesn't work.

Just like Joel Berry, 1.83 meters, for him, it is so cruel.

So the more you know about basketball, the more you can understand why everyone says basketball is a long-term sport.

So the more you know about basketball, the more you can understand why Iverson is loved by so many people and has such high popularity, so popular that it almost reaches the level of belief.

After participating in this year's NCAA finals, Chen Xiao returned to the NBA with teammates from the NCAA viewing group such as Wade, Luo Ge and Carter.

On April 4, the Warriors faced the Timberwolves coached by Kevin Garnett at home.

This game is a back-to-back game for the Timberwolves. Yesterday, they just battled with the Trail Blazers for four quarters. Finally, relying on Rondo's buzzer beater, they finally defeated the playoff rival Trail Blazers, thereby promoting themselves from ninth in the Western Conference to the top spot. The eighth position in the Western Conference.

In this game, although the relationship between Chen Xiao and Garnett is excellent, the Warriors have no intention of letting go. In fact, Garnett did not ask Chen Xiao to let go. After all, the 80-win record is just ahead. At this time, let Isn’t Chen Xiao bullying someone by letting him go?

For Garnett and the Timberwolves, no matter who gives the Warriors this year's playoffs, they still have hope.

In this game, facing the Timberwolves, which rotated four main players, the Warriors, who played all their main players, defeated the Timberwolves 141-107 at home.

By the way, the only main player the Timberwolves did not rotate in this game was Rondo.

Rondo is preparing to compete with Chen Xiao and James Harden for the assists title this season. The competition between the three is still quite fierce.

Well, in fact, it is mainly James Harden and Rondo competing.

The assists king actually doesn't matter to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao plays normally in every game. It doesn't matter how many assists he gets in a game.

To be honest, the assist king is really not worthy of Chen Xiao.

But the same cannot be said for James Harden and Rondo.

Therefore, after the off-duty schedule, the two of them are desperately trying to win the assists title.

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Warriors defeated the Suns, Hornets and Jazz at home. As a result, after playing 81 games, the Warriors' record reached 79 wins and 2 losses.

We are only one game away from reaching 80 wins.

The Warriors' last game of the season is an away game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

April 12, 2017, the day of the game between the Warriors and Lakers at Staples Arena.

Before the start of this much-anticipated game, it can be said that there are many superstars gathered.

A large number of celebrities, rich people and dignitaries from Hollywood and the world gathered here.

Even NBA Commissioner David Stern rarely came all the way to watch the game.

There is no way, this game is too important and has too much commemorative value!

"There is no doubt that this game between the Warriors and the Lakers is the most significant regular season game in NBA history!"

These are the original words of the commentator for this game, poisonous tongue Maizi.

As for Maizi's words, no one objected. It should be said that no one could find a reason to object.

This game has no significance in changing the league standings.

The outcome of this game cannot stop the fact that the Warriors have become the number one team in the league.

And the outcome of this game cannot change the Lakers' sixth position in the Western Conference.

However, this game is still the most important regular season game in NBA history.

Because this game will give birth to a team in the history of NBA regular season that can achieve 80 wins in the regular season.

At the same time, this game will also send away the first 40,000-point man in NBA history, Kobe Bryant.

Therefore, no matter how disparate the strength of the two sides is in this game, no matter how unsuspicious the process of this game is, the status of this game in NBA history is currently unique.

After all, for now, there may be only one 80-win team and one Mr. 40,000-point player in NBA history.

There may be better teams that can break such a record in the future, and there will definitely be players who will break Kobe's scoring record and break the 40,000-point mark in the future.

But now, the Warriors and Kobe are both unique.

Therefore, the appearance of the game between the Warriors and the Lakers is a huge get-together and party for NBA fans and viewers. Everyone does not care about the outcome of the game at all, but enjoys everything in the game.

Yes, enjoy.

The fans are enjoying it, and so are the players on the court.

Of course, Chen Xiao was very sad to see the end of the idol Kobe.

Therefore, on the court, as long as I get the opportunity, I will challenge Kobe in a one-on-one, chat and laugh with Kobe. When the two of them hit each other on the back, pushing and pushing, they both laughed.

Seeing the smiles of the two legends on the court, both the fans and the audience were moved.

And the vicious-tongued Maizi's comments touched everyone's hearts: "This is the NBA heritage!"

Although Chen Xiao is already 34 years old and will be 35 on November 11 this year, he is also a veteran who has reached the end of his career.

However, for the 39-year-old Kobe, this is inheritance. His Mamba spirit and basketball spirit were passed on to Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao passed them on to subsequent generations.

so……

"Even if Kobe has left the NBA, his basketball and his spirit are immortal. This is the immortality of basketball!"

I have to say that Maizi, who has always shown off his venomous tongue to others, was really emotional during the commentary of this game.

Although Maizi's emotional intelligence is not that high, Kobe is really a very special person to him.

Therefore, many people have seen that when Maizi was about to end the game, when Kobe dribbled the ball across half court, the entire Warriors team had stood up and applauded him. All the fans at the scene had stood up and applauded Kobe. Kobe was moved. When crying, Maizi also choked up.

"My youth is over..."

Yes, Kobe's retirement is not just about wheat, but the youth of a generation is over.
