I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 726: Regular season is over!

As the current face of the NBA, Chen Xiao needs to undertake some of the things that only the face of the NBA needs to undertake.

In this Houston All-Star, Chen Xiao used his ubiquitous presence to renew the NBA's increasingly boring All-Star weekend.

The attention and ratings of this year's All-Star Weekend have created a new high in the past five years.

The NBA has been so successful over the years, why does the All-Star weekend run counter to the success of the NBA?

It can only be said that it is precisely because of the success and excitement of the NBA regular season and playoffs that the boredom and tastelessness of the All-Star Weekend are brought out.

In fact, the NBA All-Star Weekend at this time and space is much more interesting than the All-Star Weekend at this time in history.

However, the limitations of the performance nature make All-Star Weekend fun to a limited extent.

In fact, David Stern does not need to constantly reform, the success of this year's All-Star Weekend, it can be seen that the fans' expectations for the All-Star Weekend are only the expectations of the stars.

It's enough for the star to perform diligently and the league to create a gimmick that confronts the stars. It doesn't really make any sense to arrange so many star games and guests.

Of course, the idol competition is still reserved. This is the program with the second highest ratings in the All-Star Weekend, second only to the All-Star Game.

It can only be said that LSPs all over the world have something in common.

After a tiring All-Star Weekend, Chen Xiao was not too tired physically, but his spirit was indeed a little overwhelmed.

However, Chen Xiao did not ask the Warriors to give him time to rest and adjust.

Because Chen Xiao didn't want to rest either.

Don't look at the fact that the Warriors are now second in the West, but they are not really stable, especially on the day when the All-Star team ended, after a team in the West and the Magic reached a deal about Howard, in the West, in addition to the Spurs, many The team is a formidable enemy.

The Lakers and the Magic have been talking about the Howard trade for more than two months, and progress has been very slow.

This is actually normal.

Although Howard is very strong, he is also in his prime, but after all, he only has a half-year contract, and he will not go if he is not a Laker, and he will not renew his contract if he is not a Laker. Such a statement makes it impossible for other teams in the league to bid for him. , Only the Lakers can take over. In this case, the Lakers are of course unwilling to pay big money.

Without a competitor, why should I be slaughtered like a fool?

In the face of the robbery of a dead pig like the Lakers who are not afraid of boiling water, magic is also very hard.

As long as you don't meet my offer, then I will never send Howard to the Lakers at a low price, because the Lakers' current salary is locked, and if Howard is to go to the free market, the Lakers can't get Howard.

It's a big deal, we all perish together, if you want to rob me, just dream!

I have to say that if the Magic dragged on like this, they just didn’t trade, which made it very difficult for the Lakers to deal with it. It was Howard who helped the Lakers to lower the price. over here.

Howard told the Lakers that if the Lakers are not willing to play Gasol, then he will go to the Clippers!

Howard's behavior of standing with the Magic to force the Lakers at this time made the Lakers feel very angry and helpless.

This is no one else, this is Gasol Jr., a center who can score by himself, guard the basket, support the basket, and play pick-and-rolls with Kobe that perfectly fits Kobe's style.

Let's just put it this way, according to the Lakers' plan, they brought Howard, not to replace Pau Gasol, but to replace Pau Gasol, of course not to drive Pau Gasol away, but to let Pau Gasol. Sol goes to the bench to lead the rotation.

Big Gasol has had a lot of injuries in the past two seasons, so the Lakers need an interior player who can partner and complement Little Gasol.

The Lakers feel that Howard is very suitable, so they are willing to use their two future first-round picks as the main body to trade Howard.

For the Lakers, your Magic can't make the playoffs again. After half a year, there is nothing. It would be good if I can give you two future first rounds.

Do you still want my little Gasol?

How is this possible!

This is really impossible. Howard's current transaction value is the same as Gasol Jr., and Howard is on a half-year contract. The Lakers executives will only trade with the Magic if they are stupid. Even if Kupchak is stupid, the Lakers boss Keke Sister-in-law Vanessa and the boss of the Lakers' Taishanghuangke are not stupid.

It can only be said that the Magic team killed Gasol, which means that the Magic team has no intention of trading with the Lakers at all.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Magic just doesn't plan to realize Howard's wish. If you say go to the Lakers, go to the Lakers. Then my future players will follow suit. How can I get along?

Whoever is willing to pay you a high price, you can go there, there is no other discussion.

In the end, the Lakers gave up on Howard, who had been negotiating for two months.

And Howard, was sent to the Clippers by the Magic, from the Clippers in exchange for the Clippers' starting center DeAndre Jordan.

DeAndre Jordan has just signed a big contract with the Clippers this season. This season, he averaged 35 minutes per game by the side of Xiaopao, averaging 13 points, 15 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, which is the best in the NBA. One of the young centers, and he just signed a 5-year 70 million contract this year. Judging from the data played by Jordan this season, this contract is definitely a big lucrative contract.

A young center who is just 24 years old has four and a half years left on his overvalued contract. Of course, this is not something that Howard with a half-year contract can exchange.

The Clippers are not the Lakers, and the Magic can't use the Lakers' means against the very sincere Clippers.

In the end, the Clippers added the team's star center Jordan, the team's 2013 first-round pick and Udriah Al Harrington as chips, and traded for Howard and Ryan Anderson from the Magic.

In exchange for a Howard who is basically nothing and a valuable Ryan Anderson in exchange for Jordan, the cornerstone of the future team, a center and a first-round pick and two expiring contracts, only Said, definitely earned for magic.

Of course, although the Clippers seem to be losing money, if they can persuade Howard to renew their contract after half a year, the Clippers will also make a profit.

After all, swapping DeAndre Jordan for Howard is an upgrade, as is swapping backup point guard Udrih and aging Al Harrington for Ryan Anderson.

As long as Howard is willing to commit to staying with the Clippers, then this is a win-win deal.

The Clippers are very confident about whether Howard will renew his contract with the Clippers.

Because Howard really has nowhere to go.

New York and the Lakers don't have space this summer, the Heat, Bucks, Cavaliers Bobcats don't need him, and the Spurs definitely won't go back.

As for the Warriors...

The Warriors also have no room right now.

So, if you were Howard, where would you go?

As long as the Clippers give you a max salary, you don't have any choice.

And that's why Chen Xiao and the Warriors didn't dare to take a break after the All-Star break.

Howard is Chen Xiao's good friend, and Xiaopao is even more so. Chen Xiao is very clear about the characteristics of the two.

Let's just say, Howard and Cannon are together, it's really a match made in heaven.

DeAndre Jordan can be fed by Xiaopao into a center who seems to be a defensive center. What do you think this uninjured peak Howard will be next to Xiaopao?

There is also Ryan Anderson. Although this forward player is Turkoglu's backup in the Magic, even as a backup, this forward can average 10 points per game and hit more than 2 three-pointers per game. He is a very reliable player. The shooter, by the side of the small cannon, will also have a very big role.

The deal between the Magic and the Clippers adds two more formidable competitors to the Warriors' second-place finish in the Western Conference this season.

Why say two?

Of course, there is another Lakers ah.

Without the Howard trade rumors, the Lakers can definitely be united.

The Lakers have always been the second-best team in the Western Conference.

The Gasol brothers, Kobe Bryant plus Billups and Joe Johnson.

It's always a little old, but this strength really has nothing to say.

The All-Star Game is over, the NBA's regular season continues, and the Warriors still have 6 games and 6 opponents left in February.

Because of the impending approach of the Clippers and Lakers, Chen Xiao and the Warriors did not dare to be careless.

And with the remaining six games in February, the Warriors are actually not that good.

On February 19, in their first away game after the All-Star break, the Warriors lost 111 to 115 to the Jazz, who had been frantically fighting for the Western Conference playoffs and adjusted for an All-Star weekend.

In this game, Chen Xiao's apprentice Jordan, who was absent from the All-Star Game, performed very well, scoring 9 of 15, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 22 points, 13 assists and 3 steals. very uncomfortable.

You have no problem saying that this little Stockton educated Beal in this draft.

To be honest, rookie players are really not good at playing a player of the type of Jordan. A player like Jordan has strong mental attributes, regardless of his talent, but he is hard and almost never makes mistakes. It is difficult for young people. Play your own rhythm, prone to mental problems.

In this game, it was not only Beal who had some problems with Jordan, but the thick eyebrows were also given some problems by the Jazz's insider Millsap.

Historically, Millsap was very good at playing thick eyebrows. Later, the confrontation of thick eyebrows came up. Millsap was old, and thick eyebrows suppressed Millsap.

After losing to the Jazz on the road, the Warriors went back to home on February 20 and lost to the Suns led by Ade and Bosh. The Suns are also going crazy for the playoffs.

The Warriors' players weren't in very good shape this game.

There's no way this is going to happen. The Warriors have four players in the All-Star Game.

Chen Xiao, Nongmei, Big Lopez and Klay are not only in the main game, but also in other games during the All-Star Weekend.

Let's just say, with the exception of the most tired Chen Xiao, this group of young warriors never came back from the All-Star rhythm.

And they fought for the first half of the season for the All-Star, and now that the All-Star wish has been fulfilled, it is inevitable to have that kind of relaxed mood.

This kind of mental slackening, coupled with physical exhaustion, it is strange that they can be in good condition now.

So, an interesting thing happened. After the All-Star weekend, the Warriors, the second-ranked team in the West, actually lost four games in a row.

After back-to-back losses to the Jazz and the Suns, the two Western playoff teams, on February 22 and 24, the Bobcats lost home and away to the strongest Spurs in the West and led by Garnett Pierce, Rondo, David Lee and others. the Timberwolves.

A wave of four-game losing streak almost made the Warriors gorgeously hand over the second position in the Western Conference.

That is, the Warriors' previous advantage is not small.

However, it is definitely not possible to lose like this.

However, despairingly, just when the Warriors desperately needed a victory, the Warriors' next four-game series in the Eastern Conference started.

Fortunately, this time, the opponents of the Eastern Four consecutive visitors are not so top-level and strong.

On February 26, with Chen Xiao's 53 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, the Warriors defeated the Pacers led by Beasley and Love.

On February 27, back-to-back, the Warriors faced the Knicks, who were also back-to-back. In the end, with Chen Xiao's 60+ at Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks' star point guard Westbrook's consecutive mistakes and strikes in the last two minutes , the Warriors struggled to get back-to-back victories on the road.

On March 1, Chen Xiao scored another 58 points against the Boston Celtics, a powerhouse in the East, and led the team to a 106-104 victory over the Boston Celtics.

On March 2, facing back to back the weakest 76ers in the Eastern Conference, Chen Xiao scored 51 points in three quarters to lead the Warriors to a 117-101 victory over the 76ers.

A very difficult four consecutive trips in the East, seeing the team's second position in the West not guaranteed.

With his 50+ points in four consecutive games, Chen Xiao made the Warriors stunned to win the Eastern Conference.

And this is the first time that a Western team has won more than four consecutive visitors from the Eastern Conference this season.

This season, in order to train the young players of the Warriors, Chen Xiao actually didn't play like this.

However, in these four games, everyone at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com once again saw the super Chen Xiao who averaged 44 points per game in one season.

"If our God wants to, he can still average 40+ per game in a single season!"

"It stands to reason that he should be the most tired of the Warriors, but he looks more like a young man in his early 20s with unlimited energy!"

What Barkley said in the game between the Warriors and the 76ers made people admire Chen Xiao's strength and endurance.

It also embarrassed the young men of the Warriors who seemed to hit the rookie wall.

Of course, it also makes the Clippers and Lakers who want to surpass the Warriors desperate.

Especially the Lakers.

The Clippers are now No. 3 in the West. They are acceptable. The Spurs will not be seen before the Western Conference Finals.

But the Lakers are not the same, as the third in the Pacific, they can only be ranked fifth at most.

With the strength of the Lakers, it is impossible for them to retreat to seventh in the West, and the boss of Keke can't do such a shameful thing.

If the Warriors and Clippers can't be surpassed, then the Kobe boss will have to take the hardest way in this year's playoffs.

Therefore, the Lakers hope that the Warriors can fall off the chain, and the young men of the Warriors seem to have collapsed.

but…

Obviously, as long as there is Chen Xiao, in the east, dare not say, in the west, it is impossible to lose the chain.

The 2012-2013 NBA regular season ended. The Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 119-108 in their last away game. In the end, the Warriors ended the season with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference!
