I’m Really Playing Basketball

Before the regular season of the 2013-2014 season started, a rather shocking news came from Miami.

A first-team center in the league last season, the legendary NBA center who led the Heat to the finals, 1 MVP, 2 FMVP, 3 championships Yao Ming's press release after the first game of the Heat's preseason It was announced at the meeting that he would announce his retirement at the end of the season.

"It was a very difficult decision. As a basketball player, I had to announce to everyone when I was about to turn 34 that I was going to end my athletic career and officially retire."

"It wasn't a hasty decision, because I knew very well that it was indeed time to leave, as a 2.26-meter big center, I'm sure, after I'm 35 years old, I'll never be like It's cruel to run like before, but it's a fact. Now the NBA is getting faster and faster. The demands on me are not decreasing, but increasing. I know that I may still be able to play at 35 or 36 years old. At the time, I shoot and score on the court, but this is meaningless. It will become a drag on the team. I don’t want to drag the team down. I hope I can give my best to the Heat. Thank you Mr. Riley, Mr. Carlisle, and the support of Dwyane, Cameron and other teammates, thank you for supporting me in this decision."

"But don't worry, even if I retire, one of my doors will close, but the other will slowly open. I'm off the court, but not basketball."

He is still the No. 1 center in the league. Yao Ming, who has been the No. 1 center in the NBA for ten years, announced that he will retire after the end of the season. This is definitely a huge shock.

After Yao Ming announced that he would retire after this season, the entire NBA was frantically discussing the matter.

In fact, anyone who pays a little attention to NBA trends knows that Yao Ming's decision has already had signs.

For example, former Heat Dynasty defensive player Tony Allen ended his contract with the Mavericks early this offseason and announced that he had signed a two-year minimum salary contract with the Heat.

Tony Allen ended the contract with the Mavericks ahead of schedule. This is actually understandable. The Mavericks have basically disbanded now, and everyone has to leave. Tony Allen wants to leave normally.

Although it is impossible for a player like him to get a big contract because of offensive reasons, it is actually no problem to go to some competitive teams to get a long-term contract with a mini-middle class.

But in the end, he was very unexpectedly accepted by the Heat's 1+1 two-year salary invitation.

Is Tony Allen missing a championship?

Certainly not.

So, Tony Allen said at the time: "I have a reason to go back, I didn't go back for Pat Riley, I didn't forgive him, but, I have a reason to go back, responsible, I will regret it."

If the media dug a little deeper at that time, you would know why Mr. Tony put down his prejudice against Riley and returned to the heat.

Because Yao Ming's career has only one season left, in fact, many former players of the Heat Dynasty are willing to play the last season with Yao Ming.

It even includes Chris Bosh, the current Suns player, but Patley's trade application for using Anthony to trade Chris Bosh was rejected by the Suns.

It is not difficult to see from these operations of Pat Riley that Pat Riley actually regretted dismantling the Heat for the sake of the superstar.

Of course, when it's gone, it's gone, and it's hard to make up for it.

However, Tony Allen is still willing to come back for Yao Ming even though he was abandoned by Pat Riley.

In the finals last season, the reason why the Heat and the Spurs would lose is mainly because Yao Ming, Anthony, Wade and Paul George, another starter is not easy to choose.

Mills is not suitable to play as a starter, and is suitable to be a substitute for the Raiders, and Sun Yue is also not suitable to play as a starter. His defense is not so hard, and his shooting is not so good. He can play other teams, but he is lacking in playing the Spurs.

Tony Allen is different. He can defend from Roger to Maizi, with Leonard in the middle. Although he can't shoot, he does a great job with Yao Ming's threatening air cut.

Therefore, after the Heat have Anthony, Paul, George Wade and Yao Ming, which are four very good offensive players, they really need a defensive player like Tony Allen who can defend the opponent's sharp knife.

By the way, in addition to signing Tony Allen with a minimum salary, this summer, the Heat also signed Timberwolves star Pierce with a minimum salary.

Wheat won the championship with the Spurs, which stimulated Pierce a lot. The first little boss of Chen Xiao's career is still working hard for the first championship of his career.

For this championship, Pierce finally abandoned his good brother, Wolf King Garnett.

In this regard, Garnett is also blessed. After all, Pippi is now 36 years old and has few years left in his career.

As for Pippi, although the Spurs are stronger, but the Spurs have wheat, he must not go.

Then his choice was finally left with the Heat, who also entered the finals.

By the way, in addition to the changes in the Heat, the biggest trade this summer is of course the Knicks and Clippers trade.

The Clippers and the team's Dwight Howard signed and then exchanged, and Howard was sent to the New York Knicks as the main body of the transaction, and Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire were exchanged from the Knicks.

The contradiction between Xiaopao and Howard is definitely impossible to reconcile.

On the Knicks side, Carter, Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler also couldn't stand Westbrook.

So, the two sides hit it off and completed the deal.

By the way, the Knicks also sent Carter to the Dallas Mavericks.

It can only be said that for the Knicks, Westbrook is their future.

They also know that the IQ of this young turtle is just like a brain-dead, but how old is he now?

With Westbrook's talent and strength, as long as he is enlightened, he is an absolute super giant point guard, and he can even compete with the strongest point guard in history!

Carter, Stoudemire and Chandler, although strong, are older.

This is a good choice.

The Warriors did not add any reinforcements this summer. One is that they are not as attractive as the Heat and other teams, and the second is that they cannot open super contracts. Therefore, the Warriors this season only added Gobert and Gobert. Ding Yanyuhang has two rookies.

It can only be said that a super giant like Chen Xiao is indeed an existence that everyone likes.

The management likes it, because Chen Xiao will never put extra pressure on the management. He will not be like the history boss or Lao Zhan. If you don't reinforce, I will do whatever.

In the same way, we will not put pressure on the head coach team. We must force the head coach to play a tactical system that will make the team stronger. Let Chen Xiao be the head coach. Basically, you can play whatever the head coach wants. Unconditionally cooperate with you, you let me play center, I will play center, you let me play point guard, I will play point guard.

To be honest, with Chen Xiao's strength and status, Chen Xiao can still maintain such humility, which makes Kerr want to cry every time he thinks of this.

Chen Xiao's previous head coaches actually cried first.

Of course, for his teammates, Chen Xiao is also a very popular boss, because Chen Xiao doesn't have such urgent team requirements, so they don't have to worry about precarious issues, don't worry about being in the Warriors today and being traded every day Go somewhere I don't know.

Chen Xiao's team basically rarely trades in the middle of the season.

Well, that bynum was an accident.

Therefore, the atmosphere of Chen Xiao's team has always been very good, because everyone around Chen Xiao does not feel tired.

Jerry West doesn't feel tired, Kerr doesn't feel tired, and the Warriors players who are teammates for Chen Xiao don't feel tired either.

It would be strange if such an atmosphere was not good.

Although such a relatively relaxed team atmosphere may breed the ambitions of players like Bynum, even in the NBA, players like Bynum are actually very few.

At the very least, this Warriors player has not yet seen who is like Bynum.

There is no crazy work because of the looser team environment.

To be honest, although Chen Xiao's team has a relaxed atmosphere, the training is still very tense. Chen Xiao does not advocate intrigue within the team, but advocates teammates of the team to encourage each other to train hard.

At this point, it is indeed suitable for a team with mostly young players.

After all, everyone is young and trying to improve their strength. As for the distribution of team status, that is a problem that needs to be considered if their strength will not improve in the future.

Now everyone is fighting to improve their strength, and whoever has the heart to think about what the second child should be.

Especially in the playoffs last season, for these youngsters of the Warriors, the stimulation was actually quite big.

In the playoffs last season, not only the media fans, but even themselves felt that they were completely carried by Chen Xiao to the Western Conference finals.

Otherwise, with their performance and state, maybe even the Jazz in the first round may not have passed.

Therefore, this season, they hope to be shamed.

Playing next to Chen Xiao, they have a chance to prove themselves.

When other young players still need to think about the playoffs, they are by Chen Xiao's side, so they don't need to think about the playoffs, not even the first and second rounds, they just need to think about the Western Conference finals.

Many people say that with Chen Xiao's strength, it is difficult to say what results are guaranteed in the East.

But in the West, the bottom line is the start of the Western Conference Finals.

Under such circumstances, in order to prove themselves, this summer, the youngsters of the Warriors really worked very hard.

The new season's preseason also proved this.

The Warriors lost six of eight games in the preseason last season.

But this season's preseason, the Warriors won seven of them.

Whether it is Thick Eyebrows, Bill or Klay, or Ibaka and Dragic, the young players of the Warriors are very positive.

Even this year's two rookies, Gobert and Ding Yanyuhang, have played well.

Gobert played in summer league for the Warriors this year, and his summer league performance was outstanding.

Many people say that the Warriors' selection of the French power center with the 25th overall pick was a bloodbath.

As for Ding Yanyuhang, because he was going to participate in the Asian Championships with Chen Xiao in August, he did not even come to the United States for the draft, but trained with Chen Xiao in China.

Therefore, audiences and fans in the United States are actually very ignorant of Ding Yanyuhang's strength.

I only know that this Chinese player performed very well in the CBA last season. In the Chen Xiao basketball school team, the 'chicken' combination formed by another 18-year-old insider Jokic can be said to have caused a whirlwind in the CBA. .

In the end, 20-year-old Ding Yanyuhang and 18-year-old Jokic were both selected for the CBA All-Star Game.

It is said that Ding Yanyuhang is a little Kobe. He does have a stunt that is very similar to Kobe, that is, emergency stop shooting under high confrontation, which is very stable.

The pull-up jump shot under high confrontation is arguably the most important offensive skill in the NBA game.

Many senior players in the NBA can hit a hundred shots in open spaces, but if they make emergency stop shots, their shooting percentage will plummet, and if they make crooked pull-up jumpers under high confrontation, it will fall off a cliff.

A lot of people say that in the NBA, the skill that separates a role player from a star level is the pull-up shot.

In the NBA, doing a good pull-up shot is so important, and it's even more so in other places.

In fact, in the history of Chinese basketball, there are not many players who have excellent emergency stop shots from outside players.

At the age of 20, there are very few who have reached the level of Ding Yanyuhang.

Therefore, as soon as he made his debut in the CBA, he felt very fresh and dazzling. Last season and Jokic's drifting pull-up jumper after holding the ball and blocking the ball in the CBA is a beautiful landscape of the CBA.

Because he came from the Chen Xiao basketball school, his ability to control the ball is very good. Coupled with his talent in pull-up jumpers, his pull-up jumpers after holding the ball in the pick-and-roll are invincible in the CBA.

In the NBA, of course, his stunt is not so powerful~www.NovelMTL.com~ After all, the defense level is different.

At the same time, it is impossible for the Warriors to give him so many possessions with the ball, and he has not yet proved that he has the qualifications to handle the ball.

However, in these eight games, his limited ball-handling, and the pull-up jumpers after Lopez and Gobert’s ball-handling pick-and-rolls still made the Warriors fans feel bright.

It can make fans who are used to watching NBA games feel bright. Obviously, the level of Tintin's stunt will definitely not be so low.

At the very least, the player selected by the Warriors with the 55th overall pick in the second round is worthy of his 55th overall pick.

In fact, if Ding Ding hadn't come to the United States to improve his draft position in order to prepare for the Asian Championships, he would not have been so low, maybe not in the first round, but the 30th or 40th picks in the second round would still be ok.

Still, it was worth it for Tintin.

He feels that since he has been following Chen Xiao in late June to the present, in almost half a year, his progress has been very, very great.

In short, although the current Warriors team does not have any other superstars except Chen Xiao, the players in the Warriors team feel that they are very strong.

ESPN's preseason forecast for the Warriors was also the second in the Western Conference.

Of course, ESPN's reason is not that the Warriors are strong, but...

"Because this team has God!"

That reason made the Warriors' youngsters both embarrassed and resentful, and at the same time seemed plausible.
