I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 559: O'Neill

If Randolph didn't leave the Bobcats, played the game seriously, and led the Bobcats to the top three in the Eastern Conference with Chen Xiao, could he squeeze Durant into the All-Star?

Chen Xiao thinks that this possibility is very low.

Unless the Bobcats are No. 1 in the league, the two players who made the All-Star on the Bobcats must be ranked higher than Randolph.

Even if the Bobcats get the first place in the Eastern Conference, Randolph's chance of making the All-Star is almost zero.

The final result is likely to be both Randolph and Durant missed the All-Star.

Randolph's departure actually fulfilled Durant, a young small forward who has been playing better and better after entering the league.

As the boss of Marquette University's new Mitaka, Durant won all the individual awards in the NCAA last season, and he performed extremely well after arriving in the NBA. His popularity in the United States is very high.

Therefore, regardless of whether he is a young man, Randolph really can't compete with him under the same circumstances.

After all, the Bucks are currently ranked seventh in the East, but Ray Allen and Durant were selected for the All-Stars.

You know, the third magic in the East, only Duncan made the All-Star, OK?

In the East, the only teams that can make the All-Star with two or more players are the Raptors, Heat and Bucks.

It can be seen how much Durant is now favored.

Even because Xiao Zhan is disobedient, Xiao Du is now the future master of the hook.

With Hook's influence in the United States and the NBA, Randolph is fighting against Du in the East. This is a bug visiting the toilet and wanting to eat it!

Therefore, even if Randolph did not succeed in qualifying for the All-Star this year, Chen Xiao felt that his decision to go to the West was absolutely correct.

Even now it’s not easy for the West to get into the All-Stars, but compared to the East, it’s still much easier.

Therefore, Chen Xiao also called to comfort Randolph after the All-Star roster was released. Randolph was indeed in a bad mood at this time. This is also something that he has been pursuing. In the end, he sacrificed so much. Pursuing it, this is naturally not so pleasant.

After the All-Star roster was released, the Bobcats also ended all the five consecutive games in the Western Conference starting on January 28 on February 4.

On February 4th, the Bobcats visited the Phoenix Suns. As a result, in this high-profile game, the Bobcats defeated their opponent 115-113.

Why is this match between the Bobcats and the Suns a high-profile match?

Of course it is because O'Neal was absent from the All-Stars, and now the focus of the nation is on O'Neal.

As the leader of the Suns, many people want to know what kind of attitude O'Neal will take to deal with this in this game.

For a face-saving person like O'Neal, this game does not vent his anger on the Bobcats, which is a crime against himself.

In fact, the Bobcats are also a very suitable team to be vented by him.

Now the Bobcats have two weaknesses. One is the inside combination of Bynum and Aldridge. The defensive strength is not enough. The inside combination of the Suns led by O'Neal, Rashid and Stoudemire is the strongest inside combination in the league. , The natural restraint of the Bobcats inside.

At the same time, the Suns' point guard Wade Barbosa Jr. is extremely fast and has a strong breakthrough. He is also a good player to tear apart the Bobcats lineup.

With these two killers, the Suns have a chance to beat the Bobcats, and the chances are great.

You know, at the beginning of this season, the Suns have beaten the Bobcats once.

Randolph and Paul were still there at that time, the Suns' inside advantage was not that big, and Barbosa was not left alone.

But the final result?

It was supposed to be a big win for the Suns. This game was beaten by the Bobcats.

And the person who killed the Suns is the boss of the Bobcats, the offensive enhanced magician, Chen Xiao!

After Chen Xiao shook Barbosa's defense with his iconic long-stride change of direction, he halted in front of O'Neal who flanked him and hit the final two points.

The Suns have a lot of advantages over the Bobcats, but they are also deficient in defense. The three inside lineups make their movement a lot slower, especially on the defensive end. They definitely can’t be like other ones when they are flanking. Like an ordinary NBA team, two players rushed over and flanked at the same time. The Suns’ flanking attack on Chen Xiao was fast and slow.

After all, even if O'Neal wants to come with Barbosa, he still needs to consider whether he has that speed.

This gave Chen Xiao a lot of opportunities to play time difference.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 12 of 20 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, 34 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in the game. Chen Xiao's efficiency in this game was quite high.

Of course, in this game, the Bobcats can win, of course, it is not possible to rely on Chen Xiao's own efficiency, which also has O'Neill's help.

O'Neal wanted to win too much and wanted to prove himself too much.

Just want to get the ball, if he is still young, then maybe there is nothing.

But his grade is no longer young. Although he knows better about health preservation than in history, how can his current physical strength and weight last so long.

It stands to reason that he should withdraw from the stage when he is not very capable and give the stage to Stoudemire, Barbosa and others.

But O'Neal is not the kind of person who is willing to take the initiative to quit the stage at all.

If he really is this kind of person, he won't want to prove himself in this game.

He still can't let go.

He still didn't want to understand that heroes are always late. In the NBA, there will never be evergreen trees, only a generation of newcomers will replace the old ones.

Maybe O'Neill also understands this truth, but he is unwilling to accept it.

After all, the poisonous snake that made him the most uncomfortable, now has a very good time.

After the Lakers got Artest, the game was simply described as a triumphant advance. The record was No. 1 in the Western Conference, Kobe ranked No. 1 in the MVP rankings, and even ranked No. 1 in the battle list and the probability of winning.

It seems that this season has become a season for Kobe.

In this case, even if he wanted to withdraw from the center of the stage, he was very unwilling.

In the end, he could only watch the Bobcats win the ball and watch Chen Xiao bitterly at the final buzzer buzzer in front of him.

It's uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable!

Originally wanted to find comfort from the Bobcats, but in the end Chen Xiao stabbed again.

My heart is really tired, I really want to find a harbor to rest and rest.

However, since leaving Los Angeles, there is nowhere in this world where he can rest.

He, after leaving Los Angeles, there is only drifting left...

Of course Chen Xiao didn't know that O'Neill had so many feelings.

The feeling of escaping from Phoenix is ​​great, because after defeating the Suns this time, the Bobcats have won a wave of five consecutive victories with the Western Clippers, the Kings, Warriors, Nuggets and Suns.

This makes the Bobcats 36 wins and 14 losses, sixth in the Eastern Conference.

No matter how good the Bobcats are this season, as long as they are not as good as the Magic and Heat, they can only be sixth in the Eastern Conference, even if the Bobcats' record is now better than the fourth Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.

No way, this is the NBA's ranking rules. The third in the division is not as good as the first in the division.

Of course, although the sixth in the East is not as good as the fourth in the East, the Bobcats still have the dignity of their own defending champion.

After Randolph and Xiaopao all left, Chen Xiao's 16 wins and 4 losses was definitely a dignity for Chen Xiao and Bobcats.

Chen Xiao, the number one man in the league, deserves his name. Even if he doesn't have his right hand, he can still take the Bobcats to maintain the status of the super team.

Even if the Bobcats are still not a champion favorite now, no one would dare to say that the Bobcats are the best defending champion in history.

In history, the tragedy after Wade led the team to win the championship did not happen to Chen Xiao.

On February 8, 2008, the Bobcats took a three-day break after completing this wave of five consecutive trips. Returning to the home court, they will face the challenge of the fifth-largest Nets in the East.

Last month, the Bobcats double-killed the Nets after taking away the cannon.

When Xiao Pao and Randolph were there, blue was the bobcat's nemesis.

Now, after Randolph and Cannon left, the Bobcats have become the Nets' nemesis. This is really a bit dumbfounding.

No way, Battier's arrival really brought the Bobcats a desperate blow against the Nets.

With Chen Xiao, Shane Battier, and Roy and Granger, the Bobcats finally have the ability to play against the Nets.

The Nets had beaten the Bobcats before, and that was based on the two points of Cannon and Randolph.

But now, facing the Bobcats Bynum, Chen Xiao, Granger, Battier and Roy, the Nets' five forwards are really not so good.

Isn't it just singles?

The Bobcats are really not afraid of the Nets.

Even if the Nets have a five-front singles routine, the Bobcats do not have that routine, but the stability of singles, the Bobcats are still above the Nets.

Of course, restraint is restraint, and the Bobcats are still not so good at playing with the Nets.

Because the characteristics of the Nets' five forwards are clear, even if a team can restrain the Nets, the intensity of restraint cannot be great. The five forwards are originally an anti-restraint tactical system, and the five forwards theoretically have no weaknesses.

Take this game as an example. Although the Bobcats defeated the Nets again, the point difference between the two sides was very close. The Bobcats defeated the Nets 104 to 101 at home.

Such a point difference and the process of the game, it can be said that if the Bobcats had not rested for three days in this game, if it weren't for the Nets this game was back-to-back away, this game might have been another ending.

Therefore, even if the game wins at the end, Jordan is full of praise for Pat Riley's five-forward tactical system.

A tactic that can cover the world and face any tactical system is definitely a god-like tactical system.

So, don't look at Pat Riley's unsuccessful in the Nets, but Pat Riley's current status in the NBA is actually rising straight.

Let's put it this way, Pat Riley is not short of championships, what he lacks is a set of his own tactical system and philosophy.

Now, the five forwards in the Nets can be said to let everyone see that he is not only a successful business coach, he is also a master tactics.

After beating the Nets at home, the Bobcats have only two games left before the All-Star Weekend.

The opponents are the relatively weak Pistons and Eagles.

On February 11, the Bobcats defeated the Eagles 110-108 in an overtime at home.

The problem of the Bobcats facing the small guard in this game was once again exposed. In this game, the Bobcats were rushed a little bit by Francis.

Francis doesn't know why his performance is so unstable this season, but this game of playing the Bobcats is like a chicken blood.

Although he was 23 to 9 personally and averagely efficient, strategically, he almost broke the Bobcats' defense, which gave Reid and other Eagles shooters a good shot.

Of course, in the final overtime, the Bobcats had Chen Xiao, a super five-fifth player, who had more advantages in terms of stability and physical strength, and finally defeated the Eagles with difficulty.

Let's put it this way, after the Bobcats lost Battier and Randolph, although the strength is still very strong, but the whole team lacks enough change and stability.

With small cannons, the Bobcats will not be afraid of teams with small guards.

With Randolph, the Bobcats are not afraid of magic and Duncan.

But now the two have left, but only in exchange for Battier and Lowry and Livingston who can't play. This makes the Bobcats have been winning, but the changes are somewhat dwarfed.

Therefore, after the two left, the Bobcats did not decline but rose, but the strength of the Bobcats is indeed declining.

At least, before hitting the eagle, the lynx can hit it with his eyes closed.

On February 13, after playing the Hawks, the Bobcats came to Detroit as a guest to face their last pre-All-Star opponent, the Pistons.

Under the leadership of Billups and McGrady, the Pistons are ranked ninth in the East, although they are only one place away from the eighth Bulls in the East.

But the record between the two teams is close to 10 wins ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Let's put it this way, the Pistons have locked in the Eastern Lotto championship this season.

The Pistons have no desires this season.

This team has no desires and desires, and in the All-Star list announced, Tracy McGrady entered the All-Star, Billups lost, therefore, Tracy McGrady and Billups this season's personal goals have also been completed.

The best team, the two can't even think about it, can't make the playoffs, don't want to enter the best team now.

Therefore, for McGrady, the main game of the All-Star Weekend is his ‘last game’ of the season.

After listening to Chen Xiao’s advice last season, don’t fight for the Pistons and learn how to maintain health. Now I really know how to maintain health.

Goji berry tea can hardly leave your hands.

Take this game as an example. Maizi didn't even enter the penalty area in the whole game. He pulled out, pulled out, pulled out, and finally bored Shane Shane, and Shane didn't want to care about him anymore.

In the end, the Bobcats in the away game, at the Palace of Auburn Hills, one of the most famous away games in the NBA, easily passed 113 to 97.

After ending the game with the Pistons, the Bobcats had a record of 37 wins and 14 losses in 51 games before the All-Star.

This record is ranked fifth in the East and seventh in the league according to the record.

But the actual ranking, the Bobcats ranked sixth in the East.

This record is enough for Chen Xiao to gain the right to breathe for a long, long time.

Well, now O'Pang, who has lost his right to breathe, must be very envious of Chen Xiao.

However, while being envious of Ao Pang Pang, he will definitely be gratified. Chen Xiao has the right to breathe this season, which is also good for him.

At least, that viper won't be the first man in the league this season!

However, with the arrival of All-Star Weekend, the chubby figure who missed the chance for the first time still felt very heartbroken...
