I’m Really Playing Basketball

Faced with the offensive status of Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo in this season's finals, it was not easy for the Lakers to last six games in the finals.

Because of this season's finals, the Bucks achieved a unique achievement in history, that is, Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo all averaged 30 points per game.

In the history of the NBA, only three players from one team have achieved such an achievement.

It can only be said that when faced with a team like the Bucks this season, it can only be said that no team in the league can do better than the Lakers.

Last season, the Bucks lost the championship to the Cavaliers and James due to various reasons such as injuries and the epidemic. This made the Bucks hold their breath while playing this season.

Bucks players are in excellent shape in the playoffs this season.

Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo scored 40 or 50 points before the Finals.

Any fool can see how powerful this Bucks team is now.

Curry, Brogdon, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Horford.

This is the starting lineup of the Warriors this season. Really, everyone can score. Everyone except Antetokounmpo can shoot, creating enough space for Antetokounmpo.

At the same time, Antetokounmpo has evolved again this season. He can really rush and kill, and he can pass the ball and drive other Warriors players.

Now the Bucks are driven by two cores, one is Antetokounmpo's breakout system, and the other is Durant and Curry's pick-and-roll system.

Ray Allen integrates these two systems very well.

So much so that the whole world can see that the Bucks in this season's playoffs are visibly powerful.

Therefore, after the finals of this season, Barkley posted on his Twitter: Bucks in 2017, Warriors in 17, Bobcats in 2012, Heat in 2009, Cavaliers in 2005, Nets in 2003, Nets in 1996 Bulls, seven teams, which team is the strongest team in NBA history.

Of course, the results of the voting were that Chen Xiao, who was still at his peak in 2017, the Warriors led by Wade and Luo Ge ranked first, while the Bucks in 2021 ranked last.

It seems that Barkley is using his strength to attack the Bucks, but from another aspect, the fact that the Bucks can discuss with these teams is actually extremely successful.

Even if the 96 Bulls and 2005 Cavaliers have slightly more votes than the Bucks, they are actually limited.

Therefore, even in the minds of fans, this Bucks team can already enter the strongest competition in league history.

Of course, on the other hand, this year's championship is indeed a sublimation of the Bucks team.

After all, two championships in three years, many experts even said that if there was no epidemic, the Bucks would establish a dynasty.

It's a pity that the Bucks were unable to establish a dynasty in the end.

However, with the current state of Durant, Curry and Antetokounmpo, it seems that it is really difficult for any team in the league to beat them, as long as they are not injured.

After the 2021 NBA Finals, Chen Xiao returned to Golden State with Wade and Luo Ge.

Because all three of them will now be involved in the construction of the Warriors next season.

Wade and Luo Ge will break out of their contracts and sign a non-guaranteed basic salary contract with the Warriors. They plan to retire directly after playing the game against Wade Jr.

Wade Jr.'s performance at Marquette University last year was pretty good. As a first-year guard, Zaire Wade is 1.91 meters tall. Although his height is inherited from his father Wade, his static talent has also been inherited from Wade. static talent, but the dynamic talent was not inherited.

In other words, Wade Jr. actually has a floor-level playing style, which is completely different from his father's Jordan-style violent playing style.

Therefore, before the draft, Wade Jr.'s draft pick was predicted to be in the middle of the second round, and Wade Jr.'s draft template was not his father Wade, but Jordan.

Yes, Wade's style of play is like Jordan who is a few centimeters shorter, and his template is also Jordan who is a few centimeters shorter.

As for Wade's son, his playing style is like Jordan's son, and his template is also Jordan's son.

I don’t even know what to say about this.

It can only be said that Wade and his idol Jordan are truly destined.

Of course, although Wade's draft prediction is the second round, if Wade wants the Warriors to select him with a first-round pick, the Warriors are of course willing.

In fact, the Warriors proposed the idea, but Wade rejected it.

According to Wade: "I hope Zaire can have the opportunity to choose his own life. I will not specify his future for him."

It has to be said that Wade suppressed his inner excitement and desire at this time and made the same choice as Jordan.

Let's put it this way, Zaire has two uncles like Chen Xiao and Luo Ge. Although his talent is average, his skills are really good.

Mainly because of his uncle Chen Xiao.

Jordan's ball-handling skills and defensive skills have actually been refined after learning from Chen Xiao for so many years.

In this regard, Xiao Chen is also like this.

Xiao Chen is 18 years old this year and has already entered Marquette University. Xiao Chen entered Marquette University as the second high school student in the United States.

According to the rankings of high school students in the United States released by ESPN in April, Xiao Chen ranked second, above Paul Banqueiro and second only to Chet Holmgren, the No. 1 high school student in the country.

Chet Holmgren, for a guy who is so white and who is seven feet tall and still has such outstanding athletic ability, to be honest, in the lower grades, he is invincible.

Of course, Xiao Chen's qualities in all aspects are also good.

The 18-year-old Xiao Chen is now 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.18 meters. His position on the court is a combo guard. His athletic ability is not very good, he is considered second-rate, but his ball control and defense are extremely good, and he plays the game with precision. His basic skills are extremely solid. Many scouts said that watching Xiao Chen play is like watching basketball coaching. There is not even a trace of chaos in his body.

It's like Duncan at guard.

So Xiao Chen now has a nickname, which is ‘Little Basic Skills’

To be fair, as Chen Xiao's son, Xiao Chen has been systematically trained by Chen Xiao to play basketball correctly since he was a child.

From the first day Xiao Chen came into contact with basketball, his dribbling, defense, offense, and all other skills were taught by Chen Xiao according to systematic guidance.

Therefore, those who like Xiao Chen say that Xiao Chen is simply a perfect basketball machine, or that is how basketball should be played.

But people who don't like Xiao Chen will think that Xiao Chen's playing is too mechanical and has no passion at all. He passes the ball at every turn, shoots at every turn, and breaks through at every point. He is very rigid and has no bright spots.

But even if there is no bright spot, his identity as Chen Xiao's son is there. Xiao Qiaodan was the number one middle school student by virtue of his identity as Jordan's son.

Xiao Chen has always been dominated by Kobe's son Kobe Jr. since he was a child. Although the two are not in the same class, overall they have never been the number one.

The main thing is that Xiao Chen's style is not passionate enough to be number one. Being number one means you have to face the spotlight, and everyone needs to see the passionate style of play.

Reporters actually don’t like to interview Xiao Chen’s sleepy style.

Of course, as Chen Xiao's son, Xiao Chen's popularity cannot be low.

And as Chen Xiao, the little Chen Laozi, of course he knows the strength of this basketball warrior who was created by his system throughout the entire process.

He had just entered college and was already a B+ player.

This strength is comparable to Wade in college.

Of course, Xiao Chen and Wade have completely different styles.

In terms of similarities, Xiao Chen actually looks like a taller version of Brother Luo.

His athletic ability is second-rate, but his skills are extremely good and his basketball IQ is high. He can do everything on the offensive end, including mid-range shots, three-pointers, post-ups, ball control, passing, and everything on the defensive end.

When Xiao Chen enters the NBA in the future, I don't know what the upper limit can be, but the lower limit should not be low. After all, with his height, wingspan, such excellent skills and defense, it can't be any worse.

With his status and strength, the rookie may be voted into the NBA by Chinese fans and fans around the world in his first year.

By the way, at the same time, ESPN announced that the number one high school student in the United States in 2022 is still Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant is still the number one in his class, beating Imoni Bates.

Kobe Bryant's current strength is not as good as that of Chen's, but in the future, based on Kobe's style of play, his future may be very high, but if his development in the NBA does not go smoothly, I'm afraid...

In short, it is Chen Xiao who is nervous this year, and next year, I am afraid Chen Xiao will need to be nervous.

While Wade is nervous about Wade Jr.'s draft this year, the Warriors have already begun preparing for the new season.

Because Jerry West is extremely optimistic about Xiao Chen, this summer, Jerry West's goal is to select Xiao Chen in next year's draft.

With Chen's talent and strength, the Warriors need at least one top-10 pick next year.

Therefore, the Warriors' summer operations this year mainly revolve around this draft pick.

So the question is, do the Warriors have the leverage?

Of course there is, whether it's Mitchell Robinson, Allen, or John Collin, they are all very good chips.

Jerry West hopes to trade two of the Warriors' three big men to obtain next year's relatively high draft picks.

Mitchell Robinson, who averaged 7 points and 2.1 blocks last season, John Collins and Allen.

These three have their own characteristics. Robinson is invincible in protecting the frame, and the Knicks are very interested in him.

John Collins is an inside man. He shot 42% from three-point range last season and his scoring ability is extremely good. As the starting power forward last season, he averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. He is currently the best in the league. One of the outstanding young power forwards, the Hawks are very greedy for him.

Allen, as a substitute center last season, averaged 24 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, and his performance was also very good.

And the key is that all three of them are insiders that are very suitable for modern basketball.

Although the three of them have their own problems in the playoffs and are not so stable, don't forget that the three of them are still young, not even 24 years old.

In this case, there are indeed many teams that are coveting the three.

For Jerry West, none of the three are not for sale. As long as the price is affordable, all three can be traded.

The first person to be sent away was Mitchell Robinson. He was sent to the New York Knicks by the Warriors. The Knicks traded the 2022 first-round pick.

The Knicks have been able to reach the Eastern Conference playoffs under the leadership of Westbrook over the years. Although the ranking is not that high, they can still enter the playoffs. As long as Westbrook continues to decline next season, the Knicks will The pick won't be high, lottery edge to mid-round.

Robinson, who has no offense at all, is indeed less valuable than Allen and Collins.

In the end, before the draft began, Houston traded its 2022 first-round pick for Allen in order to find help for Simmons.

In order to find an inside partner for Ayton, the Hawks traded the 2022 draft pick for John Collins.

Houston's 2022 draft pick is top-five protected. Trading Allen with a top-five draft pick is indeed a bit of a loss for Houston.

The Hawks' draft pick is unprotected.

As a power forward who averaged 16+10+1.6 blocks per game, even if you trade him with the No. 1 pick, no one will actually say anything, not to mention he is not yet 23 years old.

If the inside combination of Ayton and Collins works well next season, maybe the Hawks will enter the playoffs, but won't the Warriors suffer a loss?

Therefore, the Hawks' draft pick will definitely not be protected. If it is protected, the Warriors will not trade it. It cannot be cheap and it is all yours.

Therefore, the biggest test for such future transactions is the vision of the team management.

For example, Houston, because of Simmons' outstanding performance last season, almost led the team to the playoffs. Simmons needed a helper. With this helper, Houston felt that the team could enter the playoffs, so he was willing to send the first player. wheel.

But Jerry West believes that it is not easy for Houston to enter the playoffs, so he is also willing to take Houston in the first round.

Regarding the fact that Jerry West traded future players from three teams for three future draft picks in 2022.

The Warriors are supportive from top to bottom.

After all, Xiao Chen is too important to the Warriors.

Let's put it this way, even if Xiao Chen is just an ordinary All-Star player, as Chen Xiao's son, Xiao Chen's existence can consolidate a large number of Chen Xiao's fans for the Warriors.

After Chen Xiao retires, Xiao Chen's presence will allow the Warriors to continue to be one of the most profitable teams in the NBA.

For this future, the Warriors need to gamble.

What's more, these three young players are not entirely gambling.

By the way, in the draft before trading three players, the Warriors selected forward Herbert Jones in the first round this year, and Serbian center Barsa Koprivica in the second round.

By the way, Wade Jr. was selected by the Lakers with the 28th overall pick in the first round this year.

During his playing career, Wade often criticized his boss as a traitor among Joe fans.

And now, Wade's son is going to play in Kobe's hands.

Boss Ke is going to take revenge.

Of course that's not actually the case.

Wade Jr., Xiao Chen, and Kobe Bryant often train with Chen Xiao. Kobe actually understands Wade Jr.'s strength. Although Wade Jr.'s athletic talent is not good, his strength is definitely underestimated.

As for the current Lakers, since Lowry is a little older, they need a substitute with strength who can attack, defend, pass and shoot.

Now that the draft is over, Chen Xiao's most important job this year is the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo.

The Arab League has been looking forward to this year's Olympics for a long, long time.

In this year's Olympics, in addition to NBA players such as Arab League, Gao Bo, Zhou Qi, Da Nephew, Hua Tsai, and Ding Yanyuhang, Xiao Chen will also represent the Chinese men's basketball team in an international competition for the first time in his career.

This is not Chen Xiao's nepotism, Xiao Chen's strength is indeed enough now.

Although Xiao Chen is not a player from Chen Xiao Basketball School, as a player from the American basketball system, his performance in the United States is indeed worthy of being selected for the national team.

After all, he is the No. 2 high school player in the country and the current core player at Marquette University.

Therefore, Chen Xiao and his son have become the second FIBA ​​active father and son team after Jordan and his son.

In short, this year's Chinese men's basketball team can be described as strong.

Of course, on the other side, Durant and Curry, who had been away from the US team for a long time, joined the team at Jordan's invitation, which also made the US team stronger!

Suddenly, the war between China and the United States started again!
