I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 28, 2008, the second day of the draft, when the entire NBA was crazy about being selected by Jordan’s first draft of four centers with completely different styles, Chen Xiao already took Ross and the four behind him. King Kong returned to Charlotte.

Chen Xiao walked in front, Rose followed Chen Xiao on the right side of Chen Xiao, and DeAndre Jordan, Roy Hibbert, Robin Lopez, and Brook Lopez behind them were wearing A neat black suit followed.

When Chen Xiao took them out of the airport, the Charlotte media and Bobcats fans who were waiting for them were shocked.

For a while, I forgot the welcome.

It can only be said that the aura of the group of six Chen Xiao is too strong!

Let alone whether the four big men selected by Jordan this year's draft will be useful in the future, at the very least, being a security guard is definitely scary enough.

For a time, in the eyes of Bobcats fans and the Charlotte media, the Bobcat, which was full of problematic children, seemed to be back again!

The Bobcats have five first-round picks in this year's draft, and four are very high.

So before the draft, the Bobcats fans and Charlotte reporters were definitely the most anticipated groups, but Jordan’s crazy behavior in this draft made them turn all their expectations into the same shock as other NBA fans, experts, and media. .

They wouldn't say that Jordan wasted Chen Xiao's peak career. Barkley said that Jordan was mentally disabled this time and returned to normal levels. Of course, they would certainly not say that.

Although what Barkley said is quite reasonable, no matter how many centers you choose, there is only one that can be played. What's more, your team also has a quasi-all-star talented player Bynum, although Bynum is mentally disabled. It's a bit, but it's not unusable.

Such a waste of picks, it is better to trade the picks.

If the Bobcats have the right to trade these four selected forwards, they can go to the Pistons for Stuckey, the Celtics for Noah, or even the Magic for Ginobili, or even these players. There is more than enough, even if Starkey is the godson of Joe Dumas, Noah is the godson of Danny Anji, and Ginobili is the little brother of Duncan. These players, no matter who they change, can directly improve the strength of the Bobcats. Isn't it more useful than picking four centers who may not be able to get in the rookie season?

It is also said that Jordan selected so many different styles of players to deal with Yao Ming, but also to inspire Bynum.

But Barkley’s other sentence also seems to be right: “The basketball game is not a group fight, and at the same time, if Bynum can be motivated by these rookies, Jordan also looks at these rookies too highly and underestimates Bynum. In my opinion, Jordan was shocked by the Heat and Yao's performance in this year's playoffs!"

After the Bobcats selected a bunch of centers in the draft, Barkley can be said to have led a wave of offensives against Joe's boss, and also tried to bring Xiaomi to Joe's boss.

And there are really a lot of Xiaomi who are willing to follow Barkley to boss Joe.

After all, Barkley's performances over the years are still very successful, and everyone says that he is a diehard Xiaomi.

Therefore, this time Charlotte's media and Bobcats fans welcomed Chen Xiao with the utmost enthusiasm. At the same time, they also expressed their support for Jordan's behaviors in the draft that were considered ‘brain-disabled’ by others.

Anyway, for the Bobcats fans and Charlotte's media, no matter what decision Chen Xiao and Jordan make, they are all supportive.

Therefore, after being briefly shocked by Chen Xiao and their aura, the Bobcats fans on the scene gave deafening cheers and applause, welcoming their present and future heroes to return.

In the 2008 NBA Draft, Jordan’s four shock bombs blasted the entire NBA. After Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte with the five rookies selected by the Bobcats, he discussed some preparations for the next season with Jordan. Chen Xiao's time was actually quite in time.

After all, this is the year of the Olympic Games, and it is also the Olympic Games in the capital. No one, such as Chen Xiao and Dayao, does not look forward to this year's local Olympics.

They are all looking forward to it.

Therefore, although the national team gave Chen Xiao and Dayao a lot of vacations, and it is fine to report to the national team in mid-July, in fact, after participating in the 2008 draft, Dayao directly took Hua Zai and Wang Ge and other Chinese team players reported back to the national team.

Now in the entire national team, only Chen Xiao stayed outside.

Of course, Chen Xiao’s situation is special, but no matter how special it is, there is no special situation for Dayao, right?

Dayao has just played in the finals and just won the FMVP. He didn't even have a rest. After participating in the championship celebration and Hua Tsai's draft, he left the United States.

Chen Xiao actually wanted to go back to China directly with Dayao, but the Bobcats did have a lot of things this year.

First of all, the Bobcats have selected five rookies this year. How do you deal with these five rookies?

They are all in the first round and must be given a contract.

However, the Bobcats don't have such a pitfall to give these five new carrots.

Now the Bobcats also have Chen Xiao, Barnes, Bynum, Granger, Francisco Garcia, Jarrett Jack, Ilyasova, Gortat, Roy, Aldridge, Danny Gibson, Fesenko, Livingston, Battier, Lowry and other 15 players have contracts.

Therefore, the Bobcats must vacate five positions for these five rookies, or in other words, send these five rookies out.

This is definitely not good. When Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte, Jordan told him that the five rookies selected by the Bobcats this year were quite fancy.

Chen Xiao also disagrees with sending away some of these five people. In this era, good centers are really scarce.

Therefore, after drawing the card, you must also try to see if it is really useful. If it is really useful, then you will make a lot of money. Chen Xiao also couldn't bear to let the Bobcats change hands and give them away.

As for Rose, it must be even worse.

Therefore, only one can be selected from the existing 15 people.

Chen Xiao, Granger, Roy, Bynum, Barnes, Battier, Aldridge, Daniel Gibson, these eight are not for sale.

And the remaining seven, Garcia, Jack, Ilyasova, Gortat, Fischenko, Livingston, Lowry...

Fesenko has drawn the card last season. It is indeed a useless card. Now it is definitely not allowed to be sent away. You can change what you can.

Livingston’s rookie contract expires this year, and Jordan and the Bobcats have no plans to renew him. The Bobcats use the right to extend the rookie contract to Livingston. That would be a loss, millions of dollars, according to Livingston. The current market situation is a non-guaranteed contract, so the Bobcats will definitely give up the renewal and let him be free.

With the exception of Fesenko and Livingston, Jordan was a little reluctant for the other five.

But no matter how reluctant to bear, Garcia, Ilyasova, Jack, Gortat, Lowry, these five people Jordan will give up three.

Who is to abandon?

This is very entangled. Garcia and Jack and Gortat are all players who have played well in the NBA, while Lowry and Ilyasova are young men with little trading value.

And this is why Jordan is entangled.

Because he really has no choice.

After trading Lowry and Ilyasova, the Bobcats basically can't get anything.

Therefore, it must be Jack, Gortat and Garcia to send it away for the benefit of the transaction.

And these three have been very important role players in the Bobcats in the past few seasons.

Of course, the current situation is slightly different.

Take Jack, for example. Jack had been Roy's assistant before. After the small gun was traded, he even had the opportunity to compete for the team's starting lineup. However, no one expected that Daniel Gibson would suddenly rise in this year's playoffs.

Although Gibson's personal ability is not as good as Jack, his shooting, especially the three-pointer, is really accurate!

After the Bobcats have Chen Xiao and Roy, two super-powerful offensive players, Gibson is better than Jack. Gibson does not have the right to take the ball, he can do it when he catches the ball, it can also provide space, and the shooting stability is also strong.

Therefore, after the rise of Gibson, Jack's position in the Bobcats was embarrassing.

Gortat is also very embarrassed now. The Bobcats suddenly got four centers.

The center is too short and the power forward is too slow. The Bobcats now have four different styles of center to choose from. Gortat's current position as the first inside bench is a bit embarrassing.

And Garcia, Garcia's embarrassment comes from Shane.

Before Battier came, Garcia was one of the most important forward substitutes for the Bobcats. It was very useful to defend against three points, but now the Bobcats have a fully enhanced version of Battier from Garcia. West Asia's position in the Bobcats is hard to get now.

His playing position on the front line is far inferior to Granger, Battier and Barnes.

Therefore, Jordan really has no choice.

Although in the NBA, a good role player is rare, but in the face of the current Bobcats situation, he can only cruelly trade out the three players who have already achieved value in the Bobcats and are slowly embarrassed in the Bobcats position at the same time. .

Chen Xiao has a lot of decision-making power on the Bobcats' transactions and personnel changes. If Chen Xiao is unwilling to trade any of these three people, Chen Xiao can naturally force one of them to stay.

But after thinking about it for a while, I don't think it is necessary.

Jack's departure may reduce the perimeter power of the Bobcats' independent offensive, but at the same time, it can also allow Lowry to replace.

Gortat's departure caused some problems with the Bobcats' thickness at the power forward position, but Lopez can also come to the power forward, even Ilyasova.

Although Garcia's departure will also reduce the thickness of the striker, Ilyasova can also top.

Therefore, Chen Xiao didn't feel much about the three people's departure. Maybe it would be good for the Bobcats and themselves.

But to the departure of Livingston...

Chen Xiao had a different view.

Livingston did not play a game after coming to the Bobcats due to injury.

However, this is a very hard-working player.

And Chen Xiao, who likes such a hard-working player, always feels that he should give such a player a chance.

Livingston’s injury is very serious, such a serious injury, when he can play, basically, no team will be interested in him, that is to say, no matter how hard he works, no one will give him. Opportunity.

In history, Livingston did have a hard time after paying. First he was signed by the Grizzlies, then cut by the Grizzlies, and then went to find the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves, but the two teams simply ignored him. In the end, he can only run to the Heat.

Why did he run to the Heat in the end?

Because his agent is Henry Thomas, who is also Wade's agent and Wade's benefactor.

It can be seen that even when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he still maintains pride and wants to win respect with his own strength. After all, he is a little magician, a little penny, and he has his genius pride.

There is really no way, he finally accepted the unspoken rules, and signed with the Heat for two years with non-full guarantee, and the annual salary is even less than 400,000 NBA beggars.

Well, the Heat are actually playing beggars.

Although he was not respected and reused in the Heat because he came through the back door, but the basic playing time is still a little bit, and Wade's face is also to be given.

It is also because the playing time in this mere few games shows that he is indeed healthy, so many teams have also moved their minds and want to gamble on him. After all, the little magician and the little penny are still pretty attractive.

Then, Livingston entered the gambling, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was abandoned, then gambled, and then abandoned, and finally went to the Warriors, where the Warriors finally bloomed briefly.

A player can play in the NBA for 15 years. For NBA players with an average of less than 5 years, this is very successful, but for his talent and hard work, the past 15 years have been too bitter and too bitter. .

Chen Xiao's attention to Livingston is not the overflow of the heart of the Virgin.

Rather, Wade's agent Henry Thomas hopes that Chen Xiao can take care of Livingston.

Henry Thomas briefly acted as Chen Xiao's agent when Chen Xiao was drafted. Finally, he was the current agent Feigen recommended to Chen Xiao. It can be said that Henry Thomas is one of the nobles of his career.

Chen Xiao is a person who knows how to be grateful.

Henry Thomas hopes that Livingston will not go to the Heat after entering the free market, and leave him the last trace of dignity. If possible, hope that Chen Xiao and the Bobcats can pick him up again, even if it is just a development alliance contract. .

Chen Xiao certainly couldn't refuse such a small request from his benefactor.

"Michael, if Sean really doesn't have a chance, I hope we can finally give him a chance to prove himself."

"..."

Jordan froze, Livingston?

Is this person important?

Need you to discuss it separately?

However, Chen Xiao ignored Boss Qiao's surprise and continued.

"Even if he has no chance to prove his talent, I hope all those who work hard can prove their efforts."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Jordan, Cole and Curry were in awe.
