I’m Really Playing Basketball

On January 1, 2008, this day is destined to be a day for Charlotte Bobcats fans to remember.

The Bobcats’ all-star point guard, the team’s second head, Chris Paul, was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in the West by the Charlotte Bobcats.

After Paul's trade was fully disclosed, the Bobcats fans forgot the depression of the team losing to the Magic last night and ending their 10-game winning streak.

The problems between Paul and the Bobcats have long been made public.

No one thinks that Xiao Pao will stay with the Bobcats this season. It is a matter of time that Xiao Pao is traded. It is not a conflict between the two sides, but a different pursuit of the future.

Therefore, the two sides broke up peacefully.

Therefore, the Bobcats fans did not actually have too much sadness. In Xiao Pao’s farewell speech, the Bobcats fans gave the local child in North Carolina the greatest applause and miss.

Although in the Bobcats, Chen Xiao is the sun and the others are stars, it is clear that the biggest star of the Bobcats is still the cannon anyway.

Therefore, in Xiao Pao’s farewell speech, Xiao Pao received the most cheers in his career, and this cheer made Xiao Pao’s mood very complicated.

Because when he left, he got the applause and cheers that he dreamed of, but when he was still there, they didn't.

But soon Xiao Pao adjusted his mood, because in Charlotte, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a second person besides Chen Xiao to get such applause and cheers.

However, compared to the cheers and applause of these Charlotte fans, what Xiao Pao loves more now is the applause of Chen Xiao next to him.

Looking at the good brother beside him who sincerely applauded him, Xiao Pao was full of reluctance.

This departure may be a farewell.

"List……"

"Chris!"

Before Xiao Pao could speak, Chen Xiao interrupted him, then hugged Xiao Pao and released it.

"My brother, you will become a legend for everyone!"

Legend, I will be a legend for everyone!

Hearing Chen Xiao's sincere words, there were a lot of sad things to say to Chen Xiao, but at this moment, only the courage and ambition left.

In the New Year of 2008, Xiao Pao left, with a longing for the future and dissatisfaction with the Bobcat Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao felt that when Xiao Pao left, there must be no more complaints in his heart.

Chen Xiao did not intend to complete the task given to him by the system, whether it was Randolph or the small artillery, he hoped to give enough respect to his former teammates and former comrades-in-arms.

Regardless of whether their reason for leaving was selfish or not, they gave everything for him when they fought side by side with him.

They are a group of great teammates.

Without them, Chen Xiao didn't think he could achieve such a great achievement in Bobcat.

Because they knew Xiao Pao was leaving before, the fans of Chen Xiao and the Bobcats quickly accepted the fact that Xiao Pao was leaving.

But for the NBA's public opinion, they still have disputes and some quarrels. In fact, it is not that they can't accept Xiao Pao's departure.

But as the defending championship, the Bobcats have lost two of their star players before they hit the All-Stars this season.

Although these two star players have traded four high draft picks for the Bobcats in the future, the picks will never be fighting.

So the Bobcats are actually just Shane, Lowry and Livingston.

Except for Shane, who is a very strong fighting power, Lowry and Livingston have limited fighting power.

Lowry's performance in the Grizzlies is very good, giving Kidd a bright spot on the bench, but in the Bobcats, Lowry, whose offensive power is stronger than his organizational ability, has yet to have any bright performance.

Let's put it this way, the Grizzlies need Lowry's personal offense, the Bobcats don't need it.

A guard with a shooting rate of 43% and a three-pointer shooting rate of only 25% makes him a crime to attack. You know, the Bobcats' other backup point guard Jack shot up to 48%, and the three-pointer shot rate was as high as 41%.

Therefore, whether it is a starter or a substitute, Lowry is very marginal.

Of course, Lowry is not without certain advantages. His defense is very active, his ability is better than Jack, and his organization is better than Jack. After all, the apprentice of the boss, there are still two brushes.

But in general, Lowry's existence has limited the improvement of the Bobcats' strength. It should be said that there is no. If the Bobcats' strength is 90, Lowry will not let the Bobcats' strength reach 91.

And another new point guard, Livingston.

This once all-American super genius point guard, the little magician, is basically regarded as a useless man after a serious injury to his left knee.

In fact, before he was injured, Livingston's performance was far inferior to Paul, who was one pick higher than him.

You know, when he was drafted, Paul was far below his evaluation.

And Livingston's career has become a foil to Jordan's vision.

Many people thought that Jordan should pick Livingston with the fourth overall pick.

Livingston is a native of Illinois and is considered a half fellow of Jordan. The first high school student point guard in NBA history was really popular at the time.

But in the end, Jordan chose the small gun, and gave up the strongest point guard Livingston.

At that time, Jordan's choice was mocked, but now, everyone can feel how great it was for Jordan to select Paul with the fourth overall pick in 2004.

Four years later, the Bobcats' No. 4 pick was replaced with three high picks in the first round plus Livingston and a championship.

This is too worthwhile.

Livingston was used to match salaries in the Bobcats and Clippers deal.

Even those media experts who are now hyping the Bobcats deal with Paul do not think that Livingston can perform in the Bobcats.

Wouldn't even mention Livingston at all.

After Livingston came to the Bobcats, he was also very low-key, basically practicing shooting by himself.

When Livingston first entered the league, his field goal percentage was 41%. Before his injury last season, his field goal percentage was over 46%, especially the mid-range field goal percentage, which was as high as 46%, even the previous season. As high as 47%.

It can be seen that he has a talent for shooting.

However, his injury is still not well, and this season is basically reimbursed.

So he usually wears protective boots or sits in a wheelchair to practice shooting in the team.

In this case, Lowry is not necessary and Livingston can't. This means that the two star players of the Bobcats are traded for a Battier.

The media experts who love to make troubles are not guilty of such a deal.

In fact, Boss Joe has been sprayed miserably recently.

However, compared with the Bobcats that the media experts said that the Bobcats seem to be disbanded, the Bobcats are actually quite united.

The atmosphere of everyone is also very good.

The departure of the small gun can basically declare that the Bobcats will bid farewell to the championship this season.

This caused the Bobcats players to put the pressure on the defending champion from the biggest to the smallest in an instant.

Was this season a success for the Bobcats?

Of course not. As the defending champion, this has long lost the possibility of a championship, this is a failure.

But you have to say that after the Bobcats won the championship, the problems that appeared after the season's failure also disappeared.

The Bobcats now have basically lost all of their baggage, and once again went into battle lightly.

This is not a good thing for the Bobcats. After all, they have Chen Xiao, and their boss can definitely lead them to the top again!

Because their boss is the one who does this kind of thing.

And they believe that when they stand at the top again, they will never be kicked down so easily or walked down by themselves. Next time, they will reach the top with real strength instead of luck.

Therefore, it is completely different from the outside feeling that the Bobcats have collapsed. The Bobcats are actually quite combative.

In fact, the Bobcats players still care about Chen Xiao's mood at this time.

To be honest, there is no hope that the competitive championship will have little effect on the role players who already have a championship. The key is Chen Xiao.

As the team's head player, one of the top ten players in NBA history, will the team's failure this season make Chen Xiao uncomfortable or unhappy?

If Chen Xiao is unhappy, can they be happy?

Do not make jokes.

In the NBA, the boss of any team is unhappy, and no one else wants to be happy.

But what surprised the Bobcats is that as the boss of the team, Chen Xiao's emotions are normal now. They did not see any frustration and discomfort caused by this season's failure from Chen Xiao's face.

even……

When facing the team's most useless player, Livingston, Chen Xiao always had a smile on his face.

"Sean, you have a knee injury right now. It is not suitable to gain weight and increase resistance temporarily. It will put extra pressure on your knee. Just practice shooting. Your hand feels very soft and very good."

Seeing Chen Xiao who smiled and patted his shoulder, Livingston was shocked.

Chen Xiao would actually smile and speak so peacefully with this waste person himself.

Shouldn't he spread the grievance of Paul's departure on himself?

When Livingston came to the Bobcats, he was actually ready to be bullied for half a season.

So he was so low-key after coming to the team.

Because he felt that no one on the Bobcats would like him.

But……

The final situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

At the very least, Chen Xiao's attitude towards him is really, very incredible.

Xiao Pao left, of course Chen Xiao was very reluctant, but Chen Xiao's heart was not sad because Xiao Pao's departure completely lost the possibility of the Bobcats reaching the summit this season.

All this is seen by many Chinese journalists and American media around.

In the end, TNT’s on-site reporter Kenny Smith couldn’t help but sigh: “If you are already a three-time NBA championship and three-time FMVP at the age of 25, you will not deny yourself and yourself because of a failed season. The team, when Jordan was still working hard to break through the first round of the playoffs when he was 25 years old, Wonder Boy had become the top ten in NBA history when he was 25 years old!

Wonder Boy does not need to prove himself with a season's success or failure. Wonder Boy has enough patience to face everything.

All the people who discuss Wonder Boy's mentality out of balance because of the failure of this season are a group of twittering crows! "

After Kenny Smith's remarks appeared, the hype Chen Xiao would be dissatisfied with Bobcats and Jordan because of Randolph and Paul's departure, and the experts who would also leave were a little more honest.

On January 2, the first day Xiao Pao left, on this day, the Bobcats will face the Bulls led by Xiao Pao’s natural enemy Deron.

In the two games between the Bobcats and the Bulls in December, the Bobcats were double-killed by the Bulls at home and away, a miserable one.

Now that the small artillery is gone, what will happen to the record of both sides?

The Bobcats are now 20 wins and 10 losses, ranking seventh in the East, while the Chicago Bulls are 18 wins and 11 losses and ranked eighth in the East.

Although the two teams are in good shape in the playoffs, the rankings are still different.

And to be fair, the competition for the bottom four in the East is still fierce so far.

With the exception of the Raptors, Heat, Magic, and Nets, the records of the four teams are one level higher.

In the bottom four of the top eight in the East, the Cavaliers, Bucks, Bobcats and Bulls have similar records.

According to the ranking rules, because the Bobcats, Heat, and Magic are in the same division, the Bobcats are unlikely to be in the top four this season, only in the lower half.

In addition, the Nets and the Raptors are also in the same area, so the Bobcats can't even be fifth. The fifth must be the Raptors, one of the Nets and the Heat. After all, the best result is only one second. .

Therefore, the best record of the Bobcats this season can only be sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Unless something miracle happens.

For example, the first four teams have major injuries.

But the other three teams with a low record are different. The Cavaliers, Bucks and Bulls are in the same division.

The record of the three teams is not much different, as long as they can finally get the first place in the division, then they can counterattack to fourth in the East.

This is quite tempting for all three teams.

So don't look at the Bulls and Bobcats entering the playoffs this season seems to be very stable, but in this match between the two sides, the Bulls are definitely going to kill the Bobcats.

By the way, before the Bobcats and Bulls game, the league announced the East and West Player of the Month.

In the West, Kobe, who led the team to counterattack to No. 1 in the West, successfully won the best of the month. Howard, the Spurs of the month, performed very well this month, averaging 21 points and 16 rebounds per game. 3 blocks, really super strong.

No one thought that this young center, who was cut by Yao Ming in the Finals, would change so well this season.

In the East, the player who won the best of the month is a bit unexpected.

The best of the Eastern Conference in December was awarded to former point guard Chris Paul of the Bobcats by the league.

Throughout December, Paul led the team to a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, and his personal data was 20.1 points, 14.5 assists and 3 steals per game. In the month when he was the protagonist, his performance was very surprising.

Of course ~www.NovelMTL.com~ can beat Nash to get the best of the month. Obviously, this is not just because of personal performance.

Seeing that Xiao Pao got the best of the first month of his career, many people sighed for the first time.

"Still Wonder Boy and Jordan have face. This is the official NBA award for Paul's contribution to the Bobcats. Thank him for his contribution to the foundation of Wonder Boy, Jordan and the entire NBA League in North Carolina!"

Well, these people are right, and David Stern really thinks that way.

"I will not forget anyone who has made a significant contribution to the NBA."

The current prosperity of the NBA is inseparable from the great men like Chen Xiao and Jordan, and the green leaves like Paul are also indispensable.

Just like Chen said, in the NBA, anyone can become a legend!

The NBA, where everyone is like a dragon, is the most beautiful and great NBA!
