I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Xiao Zhan, Cleveland is so lively now."

After Chen Xiao came to Cleveland, she didn't stay with the female idols from the Japanese and Korean idol teams.

Cleveland is different from other places. Chen Xiao has been away from Cleveland for so many years, but the fans here still welcome him like this, which makes him very touched.

Therefore, in the past few days, Chen Xiao has been with Xiao Zhan, appearing on the streets of Cleveland at any time. It can be said that it makes Cleveland fans extremely happy.

The God-King combination that once defeated the city once again gave them a feast for their eyes.

Although this year's All-Star Weekend in Cleveland was busy.

There are a bunch of celebrities, but there is no doubt that Chen Xiao and James are the most popular among them.

"Cleveland is so lively right now and it has nothing to do with me."

James smiled and shook his head.

Although he succeeded in Cleveland and carried the banner left by Chen Xiao.

However, his successful championship still cannot change the fundamental situation that Kecheng is a small football market.

This year's All-Star Weekend, the main reason why Kecheng became so lively was the operations of boss Jordan Joe.

"This All-Star Weekend, we will witness the most noisy All-Star Weekend in NBA history."

After James finished speaking, Chen Xiao also smiled and nodded.

Boss Qiao is really good at playing.

On February 18, 2022, Chen Xiao was loyal to Cleveland.

With the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, the originally lively basketball atmosphere in Cleveland has been pushed to the extreme.

The All-Star Weekend in Cleveland made local Cleveland fans very excited and also felt very honored.

This is not just because the two captains of this year's All-Star Game are Chen Xiao and James, the two greatest players in the history of the team.

At the same time, this year is also the 75th anniversary of the NBA.

The NBA attaches great importance to this year’s Daqing.

Because this is the first celebration for new NBA president Jordan to take over the league.

In the history of the NBA, the last time Daqing caused trouble was the 50th anniversary of Daqing, which has been 25 years ago.

The first big event in NBA history was the 35th anniversary, which has been 40 years ago.

Therefore, Jordan can be said to have used all his means for this Daqing.

Jordan not only restructured the main game during this All-Star Weekend, but also selected 75 top stars, 20 top coaches, 20 top general managers, and 20 top bosses during this celebration.

Yes, for this Daqing, Jordan not only selected 75 major players as usual, but also the head coach, general manager, and owner.

The people who select these lists include reporters, celebrities, management, and bosses. It can be said that this time, Jordan tried his best to be the least controversial.

And compared to the 50th Daqing, which only announced a list, this time, Boss Qiao followed the example of the 35th Daqing and ranked all these lists.

For example, 75 Big Stars not only selected 75 stars, but also ranked them.

The same goes for head coaches, general managers and owners.

The specific list has been announced before the All-Star Weekend.

As expected, Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge, Yao Ming, James and other players are all among the 75 major stars.

One of the highlights of this list announcement is that Jordan has been selected into all four Daqing lists.

Jordan was not only selected into the top 75 players, but also into the top 20 coaches, top 20 general managers, and top 20 bosses.

It can be said that when the list was announced this time, the person who attracted the most attention was Boss Qiao.

So, this time, everyone is waiting for Jordan's ranking among these four lists.

In order to enhance the appeal of this All-Star Weekend.

The NBA officially announced that the ranking of the top 20 head coaches in the NBA will be announced during halftime of the Rookie Challenge.

The rankings of the top 20 general managers and top 20 owners were announced before Saturday's skills competition.

As for the ranking of the 75 players, it will be announced during the All-Star Game.

So on February 18th, the God and King Arena in Cleveland was packed.

Cavaliers fans are also very interested in tonight's ranking of the top 20 coaches.

Because Rick Carlisle, the former NBA's number one head coach who led the Cavaliers to their first championship, is also on the top 20 list.

Moreover, he won one championship with the Cavaliers and three championships with the Heat, and established the Heat dynasty. With four championships in hand and another dynasty, Rick Carlisle's ranking cannot be lower.

Many insider sources say that Carlisle can be ranked in the top five, and even have a chance to hit the top three.

As far as head coaches go, number one is definitely the Cardinals.

The second is Phil Jackson, who is definitely a nine-time champion.

But thirdly, the competition is huge.

Rick Carlisle is just one of the contenders.

The one who can compete with Rick Carlisle for third place is the head coach of the Bobcats, Joe. Boss Joe led the Bobcats to win four championships with one team and cultivated a lot of outstanding players. .

In addition, Pat Riley is also a very big competitor. He once coached an officially recognized dynasty team in the Lakers.

In addition, there is Cole, who led the Warriors to four consecutive championships, and Popovich, who has coached the Spurs for more than 20 years and led the Spurs to three championships. Although his championship is not as good as the previous ones. There are more than a few, but he has won many games, has been coaching for a long time, and his record is extremely stable.

However, according to the opinions of many experts, celebrities and owners, the competition for third place is mainly between Jordan, Rick Carlisle and Pat Riley.

Popovich and Cole are still slightly behind.

Popovich is one less champion, while Cole is too junior and started as Jordan's assistant. In this case, Jordan is only competing. Although Cole's four consecutive championships are great, they are still not as good as Jordan's.

It is precisely for this reason that before the rankings of the four major lists were announced, the entire league was already in a quarrel.

I have to say that Boss Qiao really knows how to play with traffic.

In the history of the NBA, no other year's All-Star Weekend has attracted so much attention.

Of course, there are definitely pros and cons for Boss Qiao to play with traffic like this.

Of course, the advantage is that this year's All-Star Weekend has received explosive attention, and the ratings are probably also very explosive.

But the downside is that when the All-Star Rookie Challenge begins, everyone is not paying attention to the game itself, but to the historical NBA coaches present on the sidelines.

Yes, even the commentator of this game, Chris Webber, the host Barkley, and O'Neal, are paying attention to the historical coaches on the sidelines, rather than whether the players on the court are playing well.

However, there is no way, everything has its pros and cons.

The attention of the All-Star Rookie Challenge is not high in the first place. In this case, this sacrifice is worth it. Anyway, not many people watched it before. It is better to let these people sit there and watch half of the game. At least, even if Even if you don’t look at it seriously, it’s still just looking at it.

Chen Xiao is different from them. The young players on the court performed wonderfully. Chen Xiao would applaud and cheer for them from time to time.

Especially after the Warriors' rookie player Herbert Jones performed brilliantly on the court, Chen Xiao will be even more excited.

It seemed that in the entire stadium, among the important spectators on the sidelines, Chen Xiao was the only one who was watching the game seriously.

As for Cole and Rick Carlisle next to Chen Xiao, they were quite nervous.

There's no way, it's the first time in the history of the NBA that head coaches are ranked like this.

I don’t know when the next time will be.

Just like after ranking the number one star in NBA history on the 35th anniversary, it is now on the 75th anniversary that Jordan has taken over and ranked number one in history again.

This is a full forty years of glory.

If they can have a good ranking in this ranking, how many years of glory will they have in the future, and how many fans will keep talking about their names?

Therefore, when the first half of the Rookie Challenge ended, the young players who finished the first half of the game did not actually leave the court to rest, but also stayed to watch the first official main event in NBA history. Coach rankings are out.

As the president of the league, Jordan did not preside over the four major rankings this time, but handed over the responsibility of presiding over the announcement of the four major rankings to the league's vice president David West.

Yes, the current vice president of the league is David West, Chen Xiao’s former Bobcats teammate and Jordan’s disciple in the Bobcats.

After David West retired, he entered the Bobcats' management. After Jordan was invited to become the league's president, he followed Jordan and joined the league's management.

He has worked his way up from the middle level and is now the vice president of the league.

David West's work in the NBA has been very solid over the years. David West is definitely one of the black people who has a slightly online IQ and EQ, even better than most white people.

This time he accepted Jordan's assignment and presided over the release of the top four lists. His performance in mediating various aspects was remarkable.

It has been unanimously recognized by NBA bosses, celebrities, reporters, and coaches.

Many people say that after he supports the league's 75th anniversary celebration this time, he will be promoted to the league's first vice president.

The first vice president of the league is Prince Edward. Except for the fact that Prince Edward was deposed by David Stern because of game manipulation and gambling, the league has no precedent of charging a first vice president. Therefore, as long as everything goes well, after Jordan retires, David West will be the league's new commissioner.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao saw David West standing in the middle of the court and hosting the celebration with a smile, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Bobcats back then were really full of strong people.

For a moment, my mind was filled with every detail of my time in the Bobcats.

For many people, this 75th anniversary celebration is definitely a celebration full of emotions.

Not only Chen Xiao, both young and old fans can see their former idol and their former youth in this celebration.

And just when Chen Xiao was remembering his past, David West had already begun to think about the ranking of the top 20 head coaches in NBA history.

Just as everyone expected, the number one head coach in league history must be the Cardinals.

The Cardinal's historical status in the NBA is actually more than just eight consecutive championships and nine championships. In addition to these honors, the Cardinal's changes in the techniques and tactics of NBA basketball are even greater.

For example, Nelson is his direct disciple. At the same time, in the NBA, he developed the pick-and-roll tactic and the sixth-man style of play. He even invented 24 seconds.

Therefore, in the NBA, the Cardinal is not only the founder of the Celtics dynasty, but also one of the pioneers of modern basketball.

Let's put it this way, no matter how many championships Phil Jackson wins, he can't compare to the Cardinals.

Chen Xiao also respects the Cardinal very much. The two of them have met several times before. However, the Cardinal passed away in 2006, so this time he will replace the Cardinal to receive the trophy for the best head coach in history. It's Larry Bird.

This time the league's ranking is not just a ranking, but there are also trophies.

The top 20 head coaches are a small golden statue of a cardinal, with serial numbers engraved on the golden statue.

For example, the cardinal's statue has the number 1 engraved on the base.

At this time, Larry Bird, who accepted the award on behalf of the Cardinal, picked up the trophy from West's hand, his eyes were red, and with tears in his eyes, he sat on the podium prepared for the Cardinal. Right in the middle.

After the Cardinals, the second head coach invited to the stage by Big West was Phil Jackson.

This is what everyone expected, but Phil Jackson is still very excited.

Because although everyone said that he was second, he himself felt that his second place seemed not so stable.

He is different from the Cardinals. He only has championships, and even the triangle offense is not actually his.

As David West said: "Mayfair is the most successful head coach in the NBA!"

Yes, he didn't pioneer anything, nor did he create anything, nor did he revolutionize the way basketball is played like Cole, Carlisle and Pat Riley, nor did he use his divine eye to cultivate a bunch of outstanding players like Jordan. .

His footnote is only success.

Therefore, after getting the second sequence that he dreamed of, Phil Jackson finally let go of his hanging heart.

After Phil Jackson, the drama began.

The competition for third place is extremely fierce, so who does third place belong to?

"He is the greatest player ever in the NBA. He is also one of the greatest owners in the history of the league. He is also one of the best general managers in the history of the league. He is also one of the best head coaches in the history of the NBA. The success of the newly formed team is shocking. The third head coach in NBA history————

Michael Jordan! "

The third head coach in history was finally given to Jordan, which is actually not too surprising.

Although Jordan, like Phil Jackson, did not develop any playing style, he did cultivate too many outstanding young players in the Bobcats.

Even Cole, who can also compete for the third head coach, is his apprentice.

At the same time, he won four championships in 10 years with a newly formed team. This is indeed a plus.

Like Pat Riley, he led the Lakers, and even Carlisle, he already led the Cavaliers with Chen Xiao and James, and the Heat with Wade and Yao Ming.

Therefore, many people say that Jordan is a smaller Cardinal, which actually makes sense.

What he left to the league was not only championships, but also many head coaches and outstanding players who were as talented as women.

Therefore, when Jordan ascended to the third position and sat next to Larry Bird, the applause was still very warm, although the Cavaliers fans at the scene definitely wanted Rick Carlisle to be third.

After Jordan, the fourth head coach was Pat Riley.

Fifth, it was Rick Carlisle's turn.

Carlisle and Pat Riley are actually similar. The teams they coach have two super powerful players.

At the same time, in such a team, neither of them is overshadowed by superstars. They both have their own coaching concepts and innovations.

Therefore, both of them have been the number one head coach in the league in their respective eras.

Neither is considered a successful head coach like Phil Jackson, who relies on superstar players.

Therefore, whoever ranks fourth between the two is okay, but obviously, Pat Riley has stronger qualifications, and finally ranked fourth.

After Rick Carlisle, the sixth head coach in league history was given to Cole.

Cole won four consecutive championships with the Warriors and reached the conference finals every year. This coaching record is indeed amazing.

The seventh head coach in history is given to Popovich. Popovich has been coaching the Spurs for more than 20 years. With two generations of players such as Duncan and Ron Howard, he has led a team that almost does not pay luxury tax. As one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference in the past 20 years or so, Popovich has screwed up in FIBA, but in the NBA, he is definitely the top head coach.

The eighth head coach in history is still an active head coach, and that is Bucks head coach Ray Allen.

Ray Allen has led the Bucks to two championships in his coaching career, and has reached four finals in his coaching career. He has coached for more than 5 seasons and achieved a record of 70 wins.

At the same time, he inherited Terry Porter's five-small tactics in the Bucks and developed an alternative five-small team with high abilities in technique, tactics and command.

After Ray Allen, the ninth-ranked head coach in history is Chuck Daly, the godfather of the Pistons and the man who crazy PUAed Jordan.

After Chuck Daly, the tenth-ranked head coach in history is Nelson.

Nelson is also the only head coach in the top ten who has not won a championship.

However, Nelson's contribution to the NBA does go beyond the championship.

Therefore, when Nelson appeared in the top ten list, no one questioned it, even Chen Xiao applauded.

After the top ten, the remaining top ten best head coaches in history are John Kudar (4 championships), Jerry Sloan, Tang Shuai, Reid Holzman (two championships), Lanny Wilkens (the first thousand-win head coach in history), Terry Porter (thousand-win head coach, the founder of the Bucks' five small schools), Doc Reeves (thousand-win head coach, Magic) Championship head coach), Larry Brown (Thousands of wins head coach), George Karl (Thousands of wins head coach), Tyronn Lue (Cavaliers championship coach).

When Tyronn Lue cried and received the golden trophy from David West, the Cavaliers fans at the scene gave a huge cheer.

The head coaches who won two championships for the Cavaliers are all selected into the top 20 head coaches in history.

For Cleveland fans, tonight is definitely one of the most glorious moments in their franchise history.

Of course, for the entire league, the most glorious person tonight is definitely Jordan.

Why do you say that?

Because the number one cardinal in history is no longer here.

And Phil Jackson, the second head coach in history, now has a bad reputation.

Therefore, although Jordan is not the number one head coach in history, the cheers and attention he receives are definitely the number one in history.

Therefore, after the top 20 head coaches took a group photo, Jordan became the person surrounded by reporters the most.

Moreover, Boss Qiao is not only in the limelight tonight.

The next day, Saturday, in the selection of the top 20 general managers and the top 20 bosses in history.

General manager, Jordan ranks third in history, behind Jerry West and Jerry Krause.

By the way, the Warriors' mid-range player Wang Ge ranks tenth in the history of general managers. Well, it is believed that Jerry West took him into the top ten.

Jerry West, the consultant of the Warriors, led Wang Ge into the top ten general managers and led Bago into the fifth among bosses.

In addition, in the ranking of owners, Jordan only ranked second in history behind former Lakers owner Jerry Buss.

Jordan's evaluation as owner is much higher than that of his general manager and head coach.

Because he made the Bobcats, the NBA, North Carolina, and the home of the NCAA successful.

Therefore, many people say that Jordan's success in back stabbing North Carolina was the biggest contributor to the NBA's defeat of the NCAA.

Therefore, during the two-day All-Star Weekend and the announcement of three lists, the biggest winner was Jordan.

It has to be said that Jordan's operations during the NBA's 75th anniversary celebration directly transformed him from the number one player in history to the number one person in NBA history.

Yes, as the third head coach, third general manager, second owner, and second player in NBA history, Joe is also the current NBA president.

This kind of Jordan can definitely be called the first person in NBA history.

Therefore, on February 20, before the start of the All-Star Game, Joe laughed and said to Chen Xiao, who had suggested that he work part-time as the general manager and head coach of the Bobcats: "Chen, half of my achievements are due to you."

This is said in a very awkward manner.

Boss Qiao was indeed very embarrassed at this time.

In fact, what Boss Qiao was thinking at this time was: "Chen, although the position of the number one player in history has been robbed by you, but now I am already the number one person in NBA history at a higher level, and there is no one in history." The first person in history who can be replaced by anyone!"

Yes, in Jordan's view, even Chen Xiao cannot surpass his current achievements.

Maybe Chen Xiao can become the head coach, general manager, and owner of the NBA in the future, but it is basically impossible for Chen Xiao to become the president of the NBA.

After all, Chen Xiao and David West are considered peers. After David West retires, it is impossible for Chen Xiao to be the president of the NBA.

"Chen, you are unique in basketball!

And I am unique in the NBA! "
