I’m Really Playing Basketball

This season, before the regular season MVP award ceremony begins, everyone knows the result.

It should be said that after the Christmas Day game of this year's regular season, Chen Xiao scored 103 points to defeat the Bucks. There is no suspense about the regular season MVP this season.

Therefore, when Jordan announced that Chen Xiao was crowned the regular season MVP for the sixth time, the Warriors had actually prepared celebration activities for Chen Xiao in advance, waiting for the arrival of Jordan and the MVP trophy.

And what’s very interesting is that at Chen Xiao’s regular season MVP award ceremony this time, Chen Xiao didn’t say much. After all, it was already the sixth time for Chen Xiao. He had basically said all the thanks he needed to say, but in Boss Qiao said a lot during the ceremony.

"When I witnessed God win the regular season MVP for the sixth time, my mind couldn't help but flash back to the scene when he came to the Wizards for a draft workout 20 years ago. Many people said that I was the one who recognized the best. I was the first to discover God. Without my raising the price, God would not have been selected by the Nets with the high pick No. 7. Without the high pick, the team would not have focused on training him from the beginning. Maybe God’s career It’s not that perfect.”

"Yes, God has a perfect career that everyone can envy. As a player, he has been winning since he started playing basketball. During his career as a player, he won everything and became the best player in all competitions he could participate in. Brilliant guy.”

"And now, when he wins the NBA regular season MVP award for the sixth time, he will once again achieve perfection on an important resume in his career."

"And, I believe, this will definitely not be his last one!"

When Jordan said at the celebration that Chen Xiao's MVP this year would definitely not be the last one, there was really a burst of cheers at the scene.

Because many insider sources are now saying that Chen Xiao may retire next season. As the most popular player in the league, Chen Xiao’s retirement will not only affect the hearts of Japanese and Korean female idols and domestic fans, but also in the United States. It touches the hearts of many people.

For the NBA, they definitely don't want Chen Xiao to retire averaging 30 points per game.

Generally speaking, for players of Chen Xiao and Jordan's level, it's time for them to retire when they no longer have the ability to average 25 points per game.

Therefore, for Jordan and the NBA, they definitely do not want Chen Xiao to retire like this.

Moreover, even if Chen Xiao is to retire, based on his achievements in the NBA, Jordan and the NBA will prepare a grand parade for him throughout the season.

Just like the season when Kobe, Jordan and others retired, they had to tour the United States.

Chen Xiao has never been on a tour, so how could he leave secretly?

Duncan can leave secretly because Duncan has not been so popular throughout his career, but Chen Xiao and others are extremely popular, which is really different.

Let's put it this way, after Chen Xiao scored 103 points, he toured the United States and sold many tickets for the NBA. Chances are, every team earned at least 10 million US dollars in ticket revenue from Chen Xiao.

This is the minimum.

If season tickets are tied to the tickets to watch Chen Xiao's game, some teams even made almost 50 million US dollars in revenue from Chen Xiao.

This is just the game after Chen Xiao scored 103 points. If it really has to wait until Chen Xiao retires and tours the United States, it will definitely be even crazier.

Therefore, the NBA will definitely not let Chen Xiao retire before Chen Xiao completes his tour across the United States.

Therefore, Jordan took this opportunity to give reassurance to all fans who were worried that Chen Xiao would retire suddenly like Duncan.

When Jordan said this, Chen Xiao was always smiling next to him. Obviously, Chen Xiao agreed with Jordan's statement.

Therefore, those fans who are worried that Chen Xiao will retire after playing the first game next season, like Duncan, Ron Howard and Wade, can finally be completely relieved.

By the way, the MVP award for this regular season is a buzzer-beating award.

Before the regular season MVP award comes out, other NBA awards have already come out.

The NBA's Rookie of the Year award this year was won by Scotty Barnes.

The Warriors' rookie Herbert Jones was selected to the first team.

This year's Most Improved Player was taken away by Chen Xiao.

Well, yes, this year’s Most Improved Player is Chen Xiao. This season Chen Xiao has a 36+ triple-double in the NBA. Compared with last season, the improvement in statistics is simply impossible to see. Others can’t see it at all. Can't even see it.

In history, this year's Most Improved Player is Morant, and in this time and space, Chen Xiao took away this mosquito-like award.

To be fair, as a 40-year-old player, Chen Xiao was able to win this award. It is obvious that the NBA deliberately used Chen Xiao to elevate this award and create a topic in order to gild this award.

Of course, if you want to say whether Chen Xiao deserves this award, he definitely deserves it.

And this season is indeed a huge span and progress for Chen Xiao, confirming his status as the first player in NBA history.

So, this award may also have this meaning.

In addition, this year's Best Sixth Man award was given to Alexander Alexander and Michael Porter Jr. of the Warriors. The two of them have been in the starting lineup for one-third and two-thirds on the bench this season because the Warriors have a large number of rotations. , so both of them took a lot of shots, and their shooting percentages were extremely high. Both averaged 15 points per game. At the same time, their shooting percentages and three-point shooting percentages exceeded 50% and 40%. Michael Porter Jr. even shot over 45% from three-point range.

Therefore, for the Warriors, the two of them are the team's best sixth man, just like Curry and Lopez back then.

Therefore, there is no contradiction at all when the best sixth man of the season is given to two of them.

There is also the best defensive player. The best defensive player in the NBA this year was given to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo's performance this season is indeed very good, averaging 29.9 points, 13.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. This data, combined with the league's first record, let's put it this way, if it weren't for Chen Xiao's performance this season That 103 points was incredible. Antetokounmpo must be the MVP this season.

However, although it was uncomfortable to be unanimously voted MVP by Chen Xiao, Antetokounmpo did not get too entangled and just lost if he lost.

Being able to win the best defensive player can be regarded as a consolation prize.

Moreover, in addition to the best defensive player, Antetokounmpo has other achievements this season.

For example, this year he was finally selected to the first team.

This year’s NBA first team is center Chen Xiao, forwards Antetokounmpo and Durant, and guards are Rose and Curry.

This season, for the second time in NBA history, three players from the same team were selected to the first team.

In the history of the NBA, the last time three teammates on the same team were selected to the first team were Chen Xiao, Luo Ge and Wade.

It’s just obvious that compared to Chen Xiao and Wade Dero, who were selected to the first team at the same time, Antetokounmpo, Durant and Curry were selected to the first team at the same time this season. There is absolutely no sentimental factor and it is purely because of their strength. .

Although the Bucks are mainly playing Antetokounmpo this season, Curry and Durant's performance is not bad either.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 29.9 points on 18.5 shots per game this season.

Durant averaged 18 shots per game this season, averaging 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game.

Curry, on the other hand, averaged 19 shots per game this season, averaging 27 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game. At the same time, Curry and Chen Xiao are the only two players in the league who average 5 hits per game this season. Players with more than three-pointers.

It has to be said that the current style of play of the Bucks is that the three of them cooperate with each other and coordinate the main attack. The team averages over 90 shots per game, and the three of them take 55 of them, accounting for 55 of them. 60%, and the three averaged 85 points per game, accounting for 72% of the team's points.

It can be seen how terrible the scoring efficiency of the three is.

After finding a suitable way to play with each other this season, the three of them are really strong.

Therefore, regarding the fact that three players from the Bucks, the league's first team, were selected to the first team at the same time, everyone only discussed it hotly, and did not criticize or think it was shady.

In addition to these five first-team players, this year's second-team players are center Gao Bo, forwards James and Leonard, and guards James Harden and Westbrook.

The five third-team players are center Jokic, forward Doncic, Jimmy Butler, and guards Devin Booker and Paul George.

This season's third team caused great controversy. The 76ers' center Embiid finally lost to Jokic in the duel between the three teams. When the result came out, Embiid immediately So he came out and posted a mocking post on his online account.

However, what is interesting is that most of the people on Embiid's social accounts do not support him, but mock him.

Many fans are mocking Embiid for how dare he compete with Jokic.

Although Jokic is the second in charge of the Lakers and Leonard is the leader, any fool can see that Jokic is the core of the Lakers' tactics. Even in games where Leonard takes a rest, the record of Jokic's team is even Not bad at all.

Last season, the Lakers' three leading players rotated, and Jokic rotated. The Lakers lost the most. As long as Jokic plays and Leonard and Paul George are not around, the record will not be greatly affected.

And Jokic's playing style is more likable than Embiid.

Let's put it this way, Embiid's style of playing more and more fouling in the past two seasons is indeed very unpopular.

Therefore, after Embiid complained about Jokic on social networks, he was deleted by netizens and fans before Jokic could respond.

Seeing how miserable Embiid was, Trae Young, who was also considered to have Devin Booker stealing his position in the third team, did not dare to step forward.

Trae Young has led the team to the top four in the Western Conference this season. The Thunder have a better record than the Suns. At the same time, his personal scoring and statistics are better than Devin Booker, which is almost 30+10.

However, he is also controversial because of his playing style.

Let's put it this way, in the current NBA, the three major whistle-stopping stars Harden, Embiid, and Trae Young are not viewed well by fans, nor are experts.

So in terms of selection, it can only be said that Embiid and Trae Young can only suffer.

Compared with the two, James Harden is slightly better. This is because James Harden has reached the second round in the playoffs, while the two have never reached the second round.

Of course, when James Harden entered the second round, he defeated Embiid, the 76ers and Westbrook. This is very interesting.

James Harden has yet to beat out another star to reach the second round.

In this year's playoffs, they once again faced the Bucks. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Wizards led by James Harden ended up losing once again. Well, the Bucks still lost 4-2.

Yes, the Bucks are using James Harden to practice defensive breakthrough skills. The Heat's Rose has strong breakthroughs and strong shooting. It can be said that James Harden can better simulate Rose's playing state.

Rose and Harden both play magic ball, three-pointers and breakthroughs.

I have to say that the Bucks really know how to play. In the first round, they played Milicic's Raptors and used Milicic to simulate Gao Bo. In the second round, they played James Harden's Wizards and used James Harden to simulate Rose.

Not only can you defeat your opponent easily, but you can also pick up equipment by the way.

Seeing the Bucks imitating their opponents with ease, and then looking at themselves fighting hard, the players from the Heat and Cavaliers must have a look of resentment on their faces.

In this round of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavaliers and the Heat, both teams had a very difficult time.

The Heat's double insiders Gaobo and Adebayo can match up with the Cavaliers' double insiders Oden and James.

But in terms of the tacit understanding of the game, Oden and James are much better, and James and Oden's offense has almost reached perfection, and both of them are very strong.

Relatively speaking, although Gao Bo and Adebayor are not thin, they do suffer a little.

Although in the end, relying on their super outside advantage, the Heat still passed the Cavaliers 4-2, but it was also 4-2, and the Heat had a much harder time.

In fact, in this series between the Heat and the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers have an inside advantage. Although they have no chance of winning the series, any team will be extremely uncomfortable against such a team with an inside advantage.

Therefore, every time the Heat pass the Cavaliers, they are always hurt, and this time is no exception.

In the Western Conference semifinals, in addition to the Warriors sweeping the Jazz, the Lakers and the Mavericks led by Doncic also tied 4-2 in the other game.

Doncic was amazing again in this series.

The Lakers, who have two top forward defensive players in Paul George and Leonard, actually allowed Doncic to once again average 34 points per game in the series. Doncic even beat the Lakers from 1 to 5 in pick-and-roll singles. , incredibly powerful.

So much so that after the Mavericks were eliminated, Lakers head coach Kobe Bryant said: "The future of the NBA belongs to him."

Lian Ke was defeated by Doncic in this series.

However, the Mavericks are still too far behind the Lakers, so the Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference Finals is still the Lakers.

For so many years, the Lakers have always been standing in front of the Warriors!

This is fate!
