I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 702: The Warriors and the 2012 Draft

Remember [New] for a second,! "You are right, I am very eager to get Chen. I always think that he is the strongest player in the world right now, even in history, he is the strongest. I'm so sorry, I've given him the best promise I can give him, he can even wear a championship ring on both hands if he wants to come to Miami, but unfortunately he still didn't choose us, now you all know, His final choice was the Golden State Warriors.

"I won't say there is anything wrong with his choice, no, even I think completely different from yours, I think his choice is very courageous, and his previous choices, and, this choice of him, maybe , very correct.

I have always felt that although his strength has surpassed Michael Jordan, it is not easy to surpass Jordan in other aspects. You can say the championship, you can say MVP, but man, Michael Jordan is unique, and the NBA is better than the NBA. There are players who have more championships than Michael Jordan, and there are players who have more MVPs than Michael Jordan, but it is difficult for them to see Michael Jordan's back.

As a latecomer, Chen can't repeat the path of Michael Jordan. He needs to walk the path that Michael couldn't get through. Obviously, Chen's decision is to take the road that Michael never got through.

Like Michael Jordan back then, he chose a completely rebuilt team, a team that was at the bottom even in the West. The current NBA competition environment is even worse than it was back then, and the Warriors are weaker than the Wizards. If Wonder Boy succeeds in Golden State, and even accomplishes his dynasty feat again, I think, the controversy between him and Michael Jordan will be all over, of course, even if he just leads Golden State to a championship, I think, this debate will also end.

For Chen, surpassing Michael's seventh championship is very important. He could have come to the Heat and chose the easiest mode, but he chose the **** mode in the end, and he finally chose the irrefutable mode.

I'm disappointed, but I'll bless him, rebuilding the team is a very courageous and selfless thing, and congratulations to the Golden State Warriors, congratulations to Battle, congratulations to Wang, congratulations to Jerry West, and congratulations to Oakland, they got The greatest player in this league. "

On June 20, 2012, Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, who had been squatting with Chen Xiao in Charlotte recently, was interviewed by the national media and was asked about when Chen Xiao finally chose the Golden State Warriors. 's answer.

very different.

Because Chen Xiao appeared in Auckland and bought real estate in Auckland, everyone knew that Chen Xiao's decision had been completed.

It's just that the Bobcats and Warriors deal hasn't happened yet.

As the No. 1 player in the league, and someone who has high hopes to surpass Jordan in the future, he may be the last choice in his career. He finally chose the team at the bottom of the league last season. Seriously, this is indeed very Incredible.

Therefore, the entire NBA, the entire United States, and even the entire basketball world were in an uproar.

Although everyone knows from many sources that Chen Xiao hates grouping and will not go to a team with a superstar to play with another superstar, but even if he doesn't sign up for the group, it would be a waste of himself to choose the worst team in the league. life, right?

Chen Xiao will be 30 years old next season. For a yellow race, 30 years old is actually the late stage of his career, and Chen Xiao's peak has not been many years.

At this point in time, Chen Xiao actually chose such a team, not to mention Chen Xiao's sunspots, and those experts and celebrities do not understand Chen Xiao's decision, even Chen Xiao's fans and many Chinese audiences, I don't understand Chen Xiao's decision.

To be honest, Chen Xiao really doesn't need to make his start like hell. There are many promising teams in the NBA without superstars. For example, the Boston Celtics are the most suitable.

When Chen Xiao's request for team selection came out and the request that Chen Xiao not cooperate with the superstar came out, everyone thought that Chen Xiao would choose the Boston Celtics.

Because this team is just perfect.

This city is very suitable for Chen Xiao to raise his son.

This team has a great group of young players.

Therefore, at that time, everyone thought that Chen Xiao must be going to the Boston Celtics.

Even when Ainge, the general manager of the Boston Celtics, was in Charlotte, he directly announced that Chen Xiao was about to choose his team.

Of course, at that time, Angie wanted to persuade his competitors to get rid of his competitors, and he was playing a trick.

I just didn't expect it to end up like this.

At this time, when the whole world did not understand why Chen Xiao chose the Golden State Warriors, what Pat Riley said at this time was indeed very different, but at the same time, it seemed very reasonable.

So soon, Pat Riley's words became the focus of the NBA.

After all, no matter what, now there is finally a big man who can reasonably explain why Chen Xiao came to the Golden State Warriors.

For a time, the news that Chen Xiao chose the Golden State Warriors caused a frantic quarrel again.

After all, Chen Xiao has not yet held a press conference at this time, and Chen Xiao's fans do not understand why Chen Xiao did this, but after Pat Riley said this, it seems that there is finally a reason.

Therefore, those who support Chen Xiao are still willing to accept such reasons.

And just when the entire NBA was crazy about Chen Xiao's decision to choose the Golden State Warriors.

What's going on with the Golden State Warriors at this time?

Seriously, as the Golden State Warriors, the bottom-to-last in the Western Conference, many of the Warriors players are actually on vacation at this time.

Originally, they were actually eating melon's recent major events in the NBA. For example, Chen Xiao tied Jordan's melon, and Chen Xiao wanted to leave the Bobcats' melon.

This is eating melon, eating melon, and suddenly eating my own head, this is indeed a bit confusing.

For example, at this time, Monta Alice, the leader of the Golden State Warriors, was in San Antonio a few days ago to witness the victory of his former eldest brother, Chen Xiao.

But now, Chen Xiao is coming again, what kind of mood do you think Monta Alice is in?

Of course it's a very bad mood!

Although he is Chen Xiao's former younger brother, he really respects Chen Xiao, but, you said that he has been the boss for so many years, how could he be Chen Xiao's younger brother again?

Moreover, his experience in the Bobcats told him that he was not the player Chen Xiao needed, and his style of play was not a qualified starter for a championship team. At the very least, it was not suitable for Chen Xiao's team, so he would choose from the Bobcats. Leave.

In other words, if Chen Xiao was coming, he would definitely leave.

Is he willing to leave the Warriors?

Certainly not willing.

The Golden State Warriors are really cool. The leader of the team is sitting, and the data is casually brushed. In the past three seasons, he averaged 21 shots per game, averaging more than 25 points, 24 points and 23 points per game respectively. With more points, the team has no requirements for records, and Oakland is also a city circle in the Bay Area. It is simply the best place to spend more money and play less.

Therefore, Monta Alice in the circle is definitely not willing to accept this reality.

And when he called to confirm with Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao's answer made him despair, Chen Xiao, really wanted to come to the Golden State Warriors.

As the other two of the Golden State Warriors' three guns, Eric Gordon is actually very uneasy. As the second leader of the Golden State Warriors, he actually does not have the same expectations for his future as Monta Alice. .

The reason why the Warriors finished last in the league last season is because Eric Gordon was almost out for the season. He played 9 games this season, and, as a rookie in 2008, he happened to be contract year again this year.

If possible, of course he doesn't want Chen Xiao to come. When Chen Xiao comes, the Warriors don't need him anymore. When the team's demand for you becomes lower, how much can you expect the team to pay for you? Certainly not much.

And if you go to other teams, the bird rights are gone, and at the same time, other teams don't know you well, and how much money they can give you is definitely not much.

So, Eric Gordon doesn't want Chen Xiao to come to Golden State either, if he can.

As for the Warriors' third-in-command, last season because of Eric Gordon's reimbursement of rookie Klay Thompson, who was a firm starter, he certainly hoped that Chen Xiao could come to the Warriors.

Chen Xiao is a famous leader in the league who can bring out super-strong younger brothers, and the reinforcement buff to his teammates is almost full.

As a first-year rookie, it would definitely be the best if the boss around him was changed from Monta Alice to Chen Xiao.

Therefore, Klay Thompson, who was originally having fun with his sister in Los Angeles, stopped being happy after getting the news and returned to the team directly.

"Mr. Jerry, I hope the team doesn't trade me, I want to play by Chen's side!"

As a young player who is unwilling to brush data on the fish-belly team, Klay Thompson did not want to waste time in the Warriors before, but now, he does not want to leave.

In the face of Thompson's request, Jerry West nodded after a smile.

"Clay, you're in the team's future plans."

With a promise like Jerry West's, Klay Thompson was relieved.

It has to be said that Jerry West is sure to value Klay Thompson very much.

Historically, Jerry West has secured Klay's future with the Warriors.

And don't look at the flowers that Clay is playing outside, but they are really different from the two guns Monta Alice and Eric Gordon.

Klay's style of play is indeed very suitable for Chen Xiao.

So, after Eric Gordon was injured last season, Jerry West took advantage of the opportunity to train Klay Thompson.

As a rookie guard, his shooting percentage last season was only 43%, which can only be called excellent, but his 3-point shooting percentage is as high as 40%, which is very good.

And he still averaged 6.5 shots per game and still had a 40% hit rate, which is already the best three-pointer role player in the league.

What's more, he has a very good defensive attitude, not to mention whether his defensive skills are immature, at least, he is really willing to defend, which is completely different from Monta Ellis and the others.

After sending off Klay, Jerry West continued to think about how to quickly complete the rebuild around Chen Xiao in the Warriors.

This is a question he has been thinking about for almost ten years.

When Chen Xiao left the Nets, he wanted to get Chen Xiao.

From the Grizzlies to the current Warriors, when Battelle and Wang Zhizhi came to the Warriors as senior advisors, it was because of the relationship between these two people and Chen Xiao, as well as the relationship between the Warriors and Chen Xiao.

Therefore, everything he did in the Warriors was to get Chen Xiao.

But now, Chen Xiao is really coming, and there is a mess in the next moment of happiness.

Although the Bobcats' requirement is to have as many expiring contracts as possible, and they don't need him to pay any chips, nor do they want his players and draft picks, but even if the Bobcats give Chen Xiaobai to the Warriors, the Warriors' competitiveness is still not enough.

Maybe it's okay to enter the playoffs casually in the West, but Jerry West knows that Chen Xiao is not too young, and he doesn't want to waste a minute of Chen Xiao's career.

So, what kind of work should be done around Chen Xiao?

In other words, what position should Chen Xiao play in the Warriors?

Jerry West doesn't think he has Michael Jordan's excellent drafting ability. Seriously, every time Jerry West praises Jordan in the media, it is absolutely sincere.

Because Jordan did select a group of very good role players in the Bobcats. These young players have any position and style. It can be said that they perfectly fit Chen Xiao's style of playing five positions.

Many people say (mainly Barkley) that Jordan has only one move at the critical moment, and that is to constantly change the position of Chen Xiao.

That being said, if the Bobcats hadn't had enough outstanding player reserves in various positions, how could Chen Xiao have the freedom of position?

Therefore, Jordan's style of play as a head coach, other teams, other head coaches, simply can't learn it.

Most NBA teams are not so perfect and deep. When Chen Xiao plays point guard, maybe the small forward will leak. If Chen Xiao plays small forward, maybe the power forward will leak.

Therefore, Jerry West will not choose Michael Jordan's way of building a team around Chen Xiao. For other general managers besides Jordan, even knowing that Chen Xiao will play five positions , you need to determine which position Chen Xiao will play first.

It is impossible for the Warriors to quickly reach Chen Xiao's strength of more than 90 in all five positions.

You can only choose one position or two positions to build a strength of more than 90.

As for the future, take your time.

To be honest, although the Warriors are very good now, with the 2012 No. 1 pick, as well as Monta Alice and Eric Gordon, two pretty good young guards, they do have a lot of room for maneuvering.

So, thinking of this, Jerry West knew what to do after communicating with Chen Xiao.

Now, he just has to wait for the 2012 draft.

And the 2012 NBA draft will follow.

The 2012 draft may be the NBA's most-watched draft.

It's not because of the attractiveness of the number one pick, Nongmei, but the whole world knows that Chen Xiao's whereabouts will be decided by this draft.
