I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 502: The 2007 draft lottery

Under the ardent expectations of Wade and Teacher Zhang, Chen Xiao did not stay too much after stopping Yao Ming in Miami. Before the start of the Heat and Magic G7 game, Chen Xiao had already returned to Charlotte.

To be honest, when the Eastern Finals were about to come, Chen Xiao was actually a little undisciplined in this way.

That is to say, Chen Xiao is the head player of the Bobcats, and he has very special privileges in the Bobcats. Otherwise, it is definitely impossible for ordinary players to do things like Chen Xiao at this time.

Because of the absence of Wade and Yao Ming in G7, the Magic eventually became the Bobcats' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals. This result made the Bobcats some wonder what to say.

"I even think I am a little empty now..."

This is what Jordan said to the Bobcats before the team training began the next day.

Because of the Heat's restraint on the Bobcats, coupled with the Heat's performance in the regular season this season, let's put it this way, the Bobcats have been working hard to prepare for the Heat throughout the season.

Although he can't beat the Heat every time he meets the Heat, Jordan himself suspects that his constant preparations are lonely.

However, there is no doubt that the Heat must be the team that the Bobcats care about most.

You, the team that has always been in your mind to be with you, did not appear in front of you in the end. This is really complicated.

Lucky?

Or is it emptiness?

Jordan feels empty, because Jordan is a person who likes to challenge, and the Heat is the most difficult team in his coach's career. He has lost this challenge now, so he feels empty.

And surely many people will also feel lucky.

For example, the team's two assistant coaches, Cole and Curry, they feel very lucky.

Playing the Heat, let's put it this way, with the Bobcats and Heat this season, maybe this year's playoffs with the Heat will be worse than last season.

The Heat really restrained the Bobcats too much.

A Yao Ming can knock Bynum and Randolph down one by one, and there is a Chris Bosh staring at him next to him.

Don't think that Chris Bosh was ‘Bo Mengmeng’ when he faced his bearer Duncan in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the face of the Bobcats, Bosh can immediately become a ‘Ponette’.

It can only be said that the Magic are really strong. For the Bobcats, Yao Ming and Bosh, an invincible pair of insiders, were actually controlled by the Magic.

So, you really don't know if the Magic was born to restrain the Heat, or if they are just so strong, they hit everyone the same.

In short, no matter what the Magic situation is, in short, now Chen Xiao says that Magic is the strongest team in history. After rectifying the name of the Heat with 74 wins, many people think that Chen Xiao is right. Magic is such an invincible. The strongest team in history.

Therefore, after the results of the Heat and Magic series came out, and the Bobcats and Magic came out, various media in the United States are organizing experts and celebrities to make their own predictions for this round of high-profile series. Take TNT as an example, ESPN's According to the vote of 100 expert and famous reporters, 95 are optimistic about the Magic's promotion, while only five are optimistic about the Bobcats.

Among them, the former Bull legend Pippen’s remarks are the most typical: "I know that Michael is a very good rookie head coach. I also know that Chen may be the first person in the history of the NBA in the future, but I don’t believe that there are any **** in this world. The team, anyone, can break the defenses of Ben Wallace and Duncan. Yao Ming and Chris Bosh can't, and Michael and Chen can't.

Therefore, the biggest thing to watch in this series is whether the Bobcats will be fisted by Michael during the game. Hahahaha, I know Michael. When he becomes angry, he can't control his violent temper and is not elegant enough. "

On TV, after speaking about his opinions, Erye Pi, who is in a suit and leather shoes, neatly set up his suit, showing that I am a gentleman, disdainful and vulgar and indecent.

Regardless of whether Pi Erye brought a lot of private goods when commenting on Uncle Qiao, the type of content he commented is actually the reason why many people are optimistic about magic at this time.

The forwards of Big Ben, Duncan and Prince are too strong defensively.

And the magic team, Duncan and Prince's forwards are completely different from the Raptors Milicic, O'Neal Jr. and Josh Smith's same terrifying forwards.

The Raptors' super strong striker composed of Milicic, O'Neal and Josh Smith is strong in talent, and the ultimate talent, which almost suffocates the Bobcats players.

If it weren't for D'Antoni undercover, the Bobcats would have been covered up in the first round.

The Magic's striker, although not as talented as the Raptors striker, everyone is perfect in defensive skills!

And not only the skills are perfect, but the cooperation and tacit understanding are also excellent.

For NBA experts and celebrities, they actually look down on the talent stream of the Raptors, and they have a soft spot for the technical stream and team stream of the forwards like Duncan, Big Ben and Prince.

Therefore, they feel that the Magic's forward defense is much better than the Raptors.

The Raptors can almost cover the Bobcats. The Magic cover the Bobcats. Isn't it a matter of minutes?

if not? Do you think that Bynum, who has to be thrown up in the Raptors, can make a difference when he is able to face the big Ben?

Do you think that Zach Randolph, who was overthrown by the Raptors, can still get out of Wuzhishan when facing Duncan?

In short, after a comparison between these experts and the celebrities, the Bobcats have no chance of winning at all.

Take TNT as an example. There are five expert and famous reporters who support the Bobcats. It is really thanks to Barkley's arrogance that he supports the Bobcats first, and some of his good friends also support the Bobcats.

Without Barkley's frenzied canvassing, the Bobcats might not even have five votes in support.

In short, before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bobcats were quite undervalued.

On the other side, the Lakers and Bobcats are the same.

Judging from the votes organized by ESPN experts for the Lakers and the Suns this round of the series, the number of expert reporters supporting the Suns' promotion to the Finals reached 97%.

The Lakers are worse than the Bobcats.

There is no way. In the past few seasons, which time did the Lakers play the Suns in the playoffs without being let down by O'Neal?

So that in the Western Conference semifinals, after Bryant eliminated the Spurs in the mid-range series with the Spurs, O'Neal issued a book overnight to express his gratitude to Kobe and help them kill the strongest Spurs.

This said, as if they had already entered the finals.

This can make the boss of Ke disgusting enough.

In this year's playoffs, the road to promotion for the Lakers and the Lakers is also difficult. They played the Nuggets led by Iverson and Anthony in the first round, and the Spurs led by Arenas and Rogo in the second round.

These are hard stubbles that can't be harder.

After these hard stubbles, there are three inside suns with O'Neill waiting for him.

No one is optimistic that they can beat the Suns led by O'Neal.

In fact, the media and experts cannot be blamed.

If it is you, do you believe that the inside line of Gasol and David West can withstand O'Neal, Stoudemire and Rasheed Wallace?

In the past few years, Shaquille O'Neal and Stoudemire played in the Lakers like abusive food.

And this is why the Lakers are less optimistic than the Bobcats.

Therefore, it is clear that the East and West Division finals have not yet started, and many media and experts in the United States are thinking about the duel between Duncan and O'Neal in this year's NBA Finals.

Duncan left the Spurs to prove that he was no worse than O'Neal.

It can be said that the pair of Duncan and O'Neal, in the United States, has a story, but also has grievances. Many people are looking forward to who is the strongest insider in the post-four era.

If the two can meet in the finals this year, it will definitely be a very meaningful round of the series.

Just like O'Neal said when answering a reporter's question: "If this year's finals can beat Tim, I will retire with the fourth championship!"

Yes, as long as he defeated Duncan head-on in the Finals, O'Neal felt that his career was perfect.

There is nothing to pursue in the future.

As for losing to Chen Xiao in the finals twice and being blacked out by Chen Xiao once and without revenge, this is actually not very important anymore.

He has now given up on surpassing Jordan.

In short, at this time, O'Neill's eyes are not only Kobe who is not standing in front of him, but also Chen Xiao who is not standing in front of Duncan.

Compared with O'Neal, Duncan was quite humble when asked about his vision of facing O'Neal in the finals: "We have not yet reached the finals. You can discuss this issue in half a month. Now is the time for the conference finals. "

Duncan didn't give the media reporter any chance to discuss, so he choked the topic to death.

Duncan is definitely looking forward to playing O'Neal in the finals, but his character makes it impossible for him to say something like O'Neal.

As far as public opinion in the United States is concerned, the finals between the East and the West are basically just a form. The first duel between Duncan and O'Neal in the finals has basically taken shape.

Regarding such public opinion in the United States, the Bobcats team was very silent except for Jordan.

Jordan’s character, it’s difficult for you to silence him.

And, to be honest, public opinion like this in the United States actually puts a lot of pressure on the two Bobcats, Bynum and Randolph.

After the first two rounds of the playoffs, Bynum and Randolph received very low evaluations.

Playing with the Raptors and the Nets, neither of them can play their strengths.

This makes American experts treat them all as one dish.

Because they are a dish, the Bobcats are of course also a dish in front of magic.

As the head coach of the team, the boss of Qiao understands the current pressure of the two of them.

In fact, Chen Xiao has been doing psychological support for the two of them recently.

"Even if there is only a slight difference between the team and the team, the same is true for the players. Although our inside team playing the Raptors and Nets can't play their own strength, your strength has not disappeared, maybe, in the encounter Big Ben, when you meet Duncan, you will be able to give full play to your strengths."

Well, what Chen Xiao said to Randolph and Bynum was a comfort to them in the eyes of many Bobcats players.

Perhaps this is indeed comfort.

After all, just like those experts said, why do you think you can rise up when you meet Big Ben and Duncan?

Although this may be really comforting.

But Bynum and Randolph, who are under great pressure at this time, really need such comfort.

Especially the support of the team's head coach and team boss.

And now, Chen Xiao and Jordan are indeed supporting them.

Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bobcats and the Magic on May 22, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players first paid attention to the draw of the 2007 NBA Draft.

Because this year’s draft meets Oden, the most powerful rookie in history, to participate in the draft, plus Jordan’s son, Chen Xiao’s apprentice Jordan, will also participate in the draft, as well as Cole’s son, Chen Xiao’s younger brother Curry. , And Jordan's apprentice Durant will also participate in the draft.

So this year's draft is really attractive for the Bobcats.

Because Durant, Curry and Jordan are all currently predicted lottery shows, the three were invited to the scene to watch this year's draft lottery with Oden.

Theoretically speaking, the biggest favorite of the No. 1 pick in this year's draft will definitely be the trailblazers in the league and the Western Conference.

However, the Blazers' performance this season is crazy, and everyone can see how much they want Oden.

But, with the style of David Stern in the last two years, will they really sign the No. 1 pick to the Blazers?

In addition to the Trail Blazers, the last-to-last Hawks in the Eastern Conference are also the favorites for the No. 1 pick, but the Hawks sent the first round of 2007 to the Bucks for Michael Reid. As long as they are not the No. 1 pick, this pick is the Bucks.

By the way, there are also the third-to-last Hornets in the West, the second-to-last king, and the fourth-to-last Warriors, all have a certain probability of being the champion.

These four teams are also the worst teams in the league except for the Bucks and Eagles.

However, the Hornets sent the first round of this year to the Bucks for Bobby Simmons, so as long as it is not the top five, this sign is also for the Bucks.

The Hornets are fourth from the bottom in the league this season, and as long as there are no accidents, they are definitely in the top five.

In addition to these six teams, UU read www.uukanshu. The seventh from the bottom of the com league record is the Celtics, and the eighth from the bottom is the Knicks. These two also have a certain probability of being the first pick, but they need a miracle. The Knicks' draft pick this year is still in the hands of the Cavaliers, because of Crow. Ford’s original deal.

Therefore, it was Xiao Zhan who represented the Cavaliers in the draw this time, and Xiao Zhan was also on the scene.

"Chen, I bet that the Hawks and Blazers will definitely not get the No. 1 lottery!"

Seeing Jordan's nervous and excited look, Chen Xiao nodded noncommittal.

And an hour later, watching the crazy little Zhan on TV, Chen Xiao was shocked.

Is this a miracle?

Is Xiao Zhan so lucky this year?

However, at this time, Chen Xiao in front of the TV didn't know that the general manager of many teams on the scene was looking at someone who was kind and father-like at this time with gritted teeth.
