I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Bobcats successfully won the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, which makes the current semifinals of the Heat and Raptors, Lakers and Spurs a foil.

After the Bobcats won the No. 1 pick, all of Chen Xiao's good friends sent congratulatory text messages and phone calls to Chen Xiao.

Although it is said that Jerry West helped Chen Xiao and the Bobcats get the No. 1 pick.

Anyway, after winning the No. 1 pick from the Grizzlies, the Bobcats now have five first-round picks, and three of them are super high, No. 1, fifth and sixth, and the rest. Two and one is 15.

Obviously, this is an almost perfect result. For Jordan, who loves gambling and drawing cards, he is very, very excited now. On the second day after Chen Xiao completed his'drawing cards', Jordan announced the Bobcats' draft training. The camp is open and we sincerely invite all geniuses from across the United States to come and participate.

I have to say that the current attraction of the Bobcats is really great. With Jordan as the head coach and with a team boss like Chen Xiao, the team itself has so many draft picks at all stages, basically every Individuals have the opportunity to stay in the Bobcats.

There is no way to grab the No. 1 pick with Rose. You can grab fifth and sixth. If you can't grab fifth and sixth, you can fight for 15. No matter what, the Bobcats themselves have a first-round pick to pursue.

Of course, for the Bobcats, they can't keep so many picks to pick rookies.

Although the Bobcats did not win a championship this season, it is clear that the goal of the Bobcats is a championship, not just a simple championship, but a dynasty!

In this case, the Bobcats will naturally not fill their team with rookies again.

It takes at least two to three years for a rookie player to grow up, even if it is Durant's level of the child of choice.

Therefore, Jordan told Chen Xiao that the five picks of the Bobcats this year can be traded except for Rose.

If Rose does not show enough immediate combat power in the trial training, Rose can be traded.

Although Jordan likes to draw cards, he must have players in the training camp.

If there are players that Jordan can admire, and if there are more such players, the Bobcats can also leave more picks in their hands.

In short, everything is up to this training camp.

As for Jordan's arrangement with the team, Chen Xiao has no opinion.

After working with Jordan for three seasons, Chen Xiao has great trust in Jordan's general manager ability.

Regardless of the operation of the team or the vision of the draft, Jordan is at the top, even better than his own system.

In the 2005 draft, Jordan and him each chose one. Jordan chose Granger. He chose Bynum. Three years have passed. Now Bynum has widened the gap with Granger. Is getting bigger.

Bynum is doing this now, and Chen Xiao is actually a bit shocked.

It turns out that with so many experience cards, he can't convert a player's potential into ability.

In this world, not everyone is a hard worker like Luo.

Therefore, for a young player, potential is not the most important, immediate ability is not even the most important, the most important is whether the young man has a strong heart.

In judging whether a player has a strong heart, he is not as good as Jordan, and far worse.

So, when your team has a general manager like Jordan, even if you have a system, you can lie flat.

Therefore, after the Bobcats training camp opened, Chen Xiao spent most of his time watching TV, focusing on the Heat and the Raptors, the Lakers and the Spurs, in addition to the daily training camps to inspect rookies.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat and Raptors did not escape the predictions of the media and experts before the start of the game.

The Raptors may be the strongest team in the Eastern Conference this season, but they played the Bobcats in the conference semifinals too expensive, while the Heat are 4-1 defeating the Nets to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

The Raptors played all the way from the regular season to the Eastern Conference finals, and the Eastern Conference was generally a strong team. So after the Eastern Conference finals, although the Raptors players were lucky and did not suffer injuries, they generally showed physical strength. some problems.

Especially the Raptors shooting guard Lagabel, who played with the Bobcats, was superb.

In the series against the Bobcats, Lagabe made more than 50% of his field goal attempts and more than 50% of his three-pointers. He averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game. He has hit 7 three-pointers in a single game. The series can average 19 points per game, and the average playing time per game is also a terrifying 43 minutes.

It can be said that in this series with the Bobcats, Lagabe played just like an All-Star, and even most All-Stars can't play so well.

Use Nash's breakthrough to attract Chen Xiao's defense, and then put a cold arrow outside, even if Chen Xiao can't help it, and after Chen Xiao hits the position of power forward, Lagaber does not matter whether he is facing Battier or Granger. They are all super fierce, it's really like being beaten up with chicken blood.

Obviously, in this series with the Bobcats, Lagabe's performance is extremely abnormal, his performance far exceeds his strength.

The consumption of this to Lagabe is definitely unimaginable.

After all, playing against players like Chen Xiao, Battier and Granger, playing such a terrifying performance, the consumption is even incalculable.

In the Bobcats series, Lagabeel's decline did not show up.

But when it comes to this series with the Heat, Lagabe is a little bit depressed.

Lagabel can average 6.5 points per game with the Heat in the entire series. If he is just an ordinary role player, this data is actually pretty good. After all, he is mainly defensive.

But is Lagabe an ordinary role player?

No, he has an offensive mission.

In the old Nelson's team, there are no pure defensive players at all. Every player has an offensive task.

In this series, Lagabell shot 43% from the field and 30% from the three-point field. Even to the end, Lagabell became a point where Carlisle let the Heat let go.

This is on offense, and on the defensive end, he can't withstand Wade, this is very deadly.

Because Rajabell is the only Raptors player who can top Wade.

When he couldn't withstand Wade, the Raptors felt uncomfortable.

Yao Ming is the nemesis of Oscar and Milicic, and Lagabe cannot withstand Wade. How do you let the Raptors play?

In the end, the strongest Raptors in the East, 2 to 4, failed to bring the series back to home and lost the series.

Everyone who watched this series felt that although the big score was 4 to 2, the Heat actually won easily.

In this series, the Heat even have the meaning of looking at the food.

Because the Western Conference is very fierce, the Heat don't want to end the conference finals soon. Although the rest is good, there are disadvantages.

What's more, the Heat don't actually need so much rest.

The Spurs and Lakers in the Western Conference finals are also a series that Chen Xiao pays attention to.

In this series, the two teams played really well.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs and the Lakers defeated the Mavericks and the Suns respectively to enter the finals.

The two semi-finals were also very fortunate, the Mavericks and the Suns are not weak teams.

Especially the Suns, the Suns played by O'Neal, Rasheed and Stoudemire's three-inner line, shrinking the defense and playing positional warfare, even almost driving the Lakers to a desperate situation.

The Lakers claim to be the strongest in the league, but this team has weaknesses.

First, this team is not that strong in three-pointers.

Second, the team's ability to attack inside is not that strong.

Again, this team can't run and bomb too fast, because the triangle offense is a system of positional offense.

So, what can you do when O'Neal, Stoudemire, and Rashid sit at the basket?

You can only fight for three points, and use your own triangle attack to fight hard with the sun.

I have to say that it makes sense for the Suns to restrain the Lakers in previous seasons.

If it weren't for Kobe's advanced strength, the Lakers in this series would be dangerous.

When Kobe didn't advance, he played triangle offense and made extreme singles. His average hit rate was only 45%. This is good, but this efficiency is not enough. In this series, Kobe's singles hit rate reached 48%!

In this season's playoffs, Kobe's form is indeed very good. His back shot percentage and Roy are the highest in the league, exceeding 60%.

And this is also the key to the Lakers defeating the Suns.

Without Kobe's efficiency, the Lakers would not be able to drag G7. If they did not drag to G7, O'Neal and Rashid would not collapse because of physical strength.

In short, the power of playing the sun, Gasol, Artest, and Byron Davis is minimized, and there is not much use at all.

The whole series really depends on Kobe's hard play.

Bryant averaged 31 shots per game throughout the series, averaging 15 field goal percentages, averaging 37 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

In this series, Kobe played really fortunately.

Because the inside line is locked, most of Kobe's shots are far away, and the opponents are not afraid of him breaking through, so the defense against him is really tight. This also makes Kobe's every offense ridiculed by Chris Weber as being able to enter the five. The level of the best ball.

It is precisely because of the sun's blockade of the penalty area that Kobe averaged 8.7 three-pointers per game in this series.

Everyone should know that the three-pointer is not so reliable.

It can only be said that O'Neal and the Suns in this series are really fighting too hard.

If it weren't for the boss of Science, who was really physically strong, he might have been scrapped a long time ago.

With so few free throws in this series, the Secco boss has averaged 37 points per game, which is terrifying for normal people to think about it.

It can only be said that O'Neal is true that even if he is dead, he doesn't want the boss of Ke to win easily, even if he is dead, he will have to put his back on the boss of Deco.

This is a bit similar to the Bobcats pulling the Raptors back.

It's just that Chen Xiao and Nash have no grudges, Chen Xiao is practicing the professional spirit of the game.

And O'Neill...

Of course, he also practices professionalism, but everyone knows that O'Pan is not so energetic, but when he is facing the boss of Shanghai Science and Technology, his professionalism is simply overwhelming. Such a big man, Nima's is actually still playing hard work in the competition. Defense, how many years have it been.

But in any case, Ke boss relied on his super strength and physical strength to bring the Lakers into the Western Conference finals.

And it is precisely because the team played so hard in the Western Conference semifinals that the Lakers and Spurs played in the Western Conference finals that were extremely interesting.

What an interesting method?

That was the boss of the crazy ‘Kerry’ in the semi-finals. In the Western Conference Finals, he went crazy undercover.

In the semi-finals, Artest, Gasol and Odom, who were crazy undercover in the semifinals, were crazy ‘Kerry’ in the Western Conference finals.

It's not surprising that this happened.

The Spurs were originally a very difficult opponent for the Ke boss. Historically, the Ke boss was the Spurs killer, but the Spurs in this time and space are the real nemesis of the Ke boss.

Because there are two of the best players in the league who are in the Spurs, Ron Howard and Arenas.

It is not easy to play the Spurs when the boss of Ke is full of blood. What's more?

On the other side, Artest is useless to play the Suns, but it is really useful to play the Spurs.

The Suns do not have a perimeter super scorer and do not need Artest’s defense. The Suns’ perimeter strong points, Quentin Richardson and Wade Barbosa Jr., one is a running stream, the other is a burst stream, nor is it Artest is good at.

But defending against Ron Howard's opponents who use rhythm and IQ, ball quotient, height and wingspan to play, all of them are on Artest's point.

Gasol and Gasol have a similar situation. Although they can't attack at the basket, the Spurs' inside combination Howard and Dior are too short. They can shoot, they have a tonnage advantage, and they can also grab rebounds at the basket. Two may not have robbed Howard one, but at least, they will not be so passive, they can also play their own characteristics when playing against the Spurs, will not make the Lakers players look like they have disappeared.

Ke boss defends Arenas, and he has to play Ron Howard on the offensive end. This is really difficult for Ke boss.

This is no way.

And Ron Howard is the same, defending against Kobe, attacking Artest, even if his physical condition is better than Kobe, it is difficult.

Therefore, the Lakers and Spurs series is really interesting. Kobe and Ron Howard, the bosses of the two teams, are struggling offensively. The two teams are all other players, Spurs Dior. Bowen, Howard, the size of the Lakers Gasol, Artest and so on.

As for the most popular player in this series, there is no doubt that it must be the power forward of the Spurs, Dior!

This season is the first time in the NBA that Dior has played the playoffs as the main core of the team.

And he played really well in the playoffs!

In the last round of the Spurs' victory over the Mavericks, Dior averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists with a 53% shooting percentage. This is the key to the Spurs' ability to beat the Mavericks.

And in this series with the Lakers, playing the Believe Dior performance is even more incredible.

Throughout the series, because Ron Howard's offense was blocked, Arenas suffered a tenacious resistance from Kobe, and Dior later became the core of the team's offense.

Yes, he used to be the core of the organization, this series has become the core of offense.

And what’s more interesting is that he did quite well, which should be said to be super good!

He averaged 19 shots per game and 9.9 hits per game. The shooting percentage exceeded 52%. He averaged 24.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game.

This is simply a lively super power forward!

With such a terrifying defensive intensity in the Spurs and Lakers series, Dior is the only player who can average 20 points and 50% shooting per game.

He is the scoring leader in this series and the highest field goal percentage among players scoring more than 20 points.

It can only be said that this player from Chen Xiao's background is not only terrifying all-around, but also terrifying smart. On the offensive end, he used Howard's control of the Lakers' inside to run and cut crazy. Let's put it this way, when Dior was defending Gasol. Height is a disadvantage, but when attacking, his height and flexibility have become advantages.

And he, this series makes perfect use of this.

Lakers fans in this series can always desperate to see Dior inexplicably run to the layup, or make a second offensive layup.

I have to say that Dior is indeed very excited to play this year's playoffs.

In history, when Dior was in the Suns, he played the main offensive in the playoffs for the first time, facing the Lakers in the playoffs and facing the strongest Mavericks at the time. He averaged close to 20 games per game in the entire playoffs. 19 points, 53% shooting, and close to 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

And when he played this performance in the sun in history, it was 2006, and now, it is 2008.

Dior, who has been dormant by Chen Xiao for so many years, is no worse than history.

Chen Xiao understands Dior’s strength very well. This guy has a very special rhythm. His strength is very strong. The biggest factor that affects his own performance is not his strength, but his mentality. He is a player with a salty mentality. A little lazy.

Obviously, Dior was very excited when he played the main offense in the playoffs for the first time.

At the same time, Popovich's trust in him also made him very excited.

And he also rewarded Popovich with a nearly perfect series, if you count the previous two series.

Dior has performed perfectly in three series.

So far, after playing the playoffs with the Lakers, in the 20 games of the playoffs, he averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field and 43% from the three-point field. He is actually the most stable player for the Spurs. Do you dare to believe this?

So far, the Spurs' playoff MVP is not the boss Ron Howard, nor the second Arenas, nor the third Howard, but Dior, a newcomer to the team.

In the past, there were people who argued about the exchange of Scola and Dior, who is the winner.

When the Spurs finally eliminated the Lakers 4 to 3 and entered the Finals, everyone was exclaiming for Popovich’s brilliant eyes~www.NovelMTL.com~ During Scola’s years with the Spurs, no series played out. After the level of Dior's three series, stability is not at the same level, and the big heart is not at the same level.

For a time, the words Popovich said before: "Wonder Boy is full of treasures!" The words once again became the focus of the entire NBA.

In any case, the finals of the East and West Divisions are over, and the finals matchup is out, again the Spurs and Heat will be duel!

Howard is gearing up.

Yao Ming frowned and sighed. He didn't want to play the Spurs because...

Yao Ming looked at Wade next to him.

And Wade looked as usual.

"Yao, maybe it's fate, but I don't care about it."

A pair of wind and clouds.
