I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 738: Desperate Spurs

The NBA regular season opener of the 2013-2014 season started on October 29, 2013, US time.

A total of 2 games were played on the opening day, with the defending champion Spurs facing off against the Heat, their opponent in last season's finals.

The other game is the Warriors vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.

On the evening of October 29, Oracle Arena.

Watching the first game of the season, the fans of the Warriors on the scene cheered for the Warriors so passionately, and the mood of the boss who led the team away was really quite complicated.

There is no doubt that everything about the current Warriors team is a rising team full of expectations for the future.

Therefore, both fans and experts are extremely optimistic about the future of this team.

Therefore, the high-spirited state of this team is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Compared with the high spirits of the Warriors, the Lakers seem to be an aging team.

Although Kobe wants to change the situation of the Lakers, sometimes he is really powerless, even if he is the boss behind the Lakers.

He wants to introduce young and dynamic superstars, but these young and dynamic superstars are not so willing to come to the Lakers to play with their group of aging veterans.

He also thought about cleaning out the aging All-Star players in the team and rebuilding them completely, but he couldn't make such a determination.

This is not the same as shooting lore on the court. He is now over 35 years old. Although he could continue to average more than 25 points per game last season, he once said that one day he will not be able to average 20 points per game on the court. points, he will choose to retire.

He felt that this time was actually slowly approaching.

He has not had enough time to rebuild.

Therefore, even if this Laker is indeed an old ship now, he can only expect this old ship to create some different miracles.

Now, he has put all his expectations on miracles.

It's a sign of a team's old mentality.

After all, when you're young, you always feel like I'm in my own hands.

Once upon a time, the Lakers were an existence that the Warriors couldn't match anyway.

The Warriors, or even one of the teams that someone in his class despised the most.

But now, the Warriors have slowly become the team he envied.

The Warriors have even surpassed the Lakers, and have opened the gap with the Lakers, so that the Lakers can no longer catch up with them.

As far as this game is concerned, the slow-warming Lakers, facing the current fighting spirit and high-spirited Warriors, lost 20-30 by 10 points in the first quarter. At the end of the first half, they were already behind. The Warriors had 19 points.

After three quarters, the Lakers trailed the Warriors by 33 points, 67-100.

In this game, in front of the young and vigorous Warriors, the old and heavy Lakers can be said to be reflected most vividly.

After the whole game, the Lakers lost 95-130 on the road by 35 points. The Lakers allowed the Warriors to hit 20 three-pointers on the road.

The slow-moving veterans of the Lakers simply couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Chen Xiao, Klay and Bill.

In this game, Klay played 31 minutes, 15 of 19, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 38 points.

And Beal was 9 of 18, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and scored 25 points.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, scored 7 of 10 points, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. In just 30 minutes of playing, he scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists.

The three spray brothers made a total of 14 three-pointers in this game and scored 85 points.

Well, remember, this is the stats for three quarters, and none of the three played in the fourth quarter.

Because the Lakers have the Gasol brothers, the inside line is strong, but in this game, the Warriors did not even play the Lakers inside line, and they directly collapsed the Lakers.

The Gasol brothers are now heavy footsteps, shot into a sieve by the Warriors' perimeter.

Therefore, after the game, when a reporter asked the Boss Ke, whether the Lakers' current play style was already against the trend of the NBA, and whether he and the Lakers were completely outdated, the Boss Ke looked very ugly.

It can only be said that the current NBA has indeed become faster, and this is why Yao Ming has only played this season and retired.

If Yao Ming wants to, he can also average very good data next season. However, he may become the person named by many NBA teams. Just like this game, Chen Xiao and Bill madly named Gasol. Like brothers.

It's not that they are not strong, they are still very strong. When they meet a team that is playing positional warfare, the Gasol brothers can still be very strong.

However, they now have obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.

Even if the Gasol brothers are named in the audience, they have no idol burden, nor the moral burden of the team.

But Yao Ming is different. Yao Ming is one of the two cores of the Heat. If he is always played as a weakness on the court, he will have a psychological burden, and as one of the greatest centers in the history of the NBA, if people see that he has been beaten all the time. The name and humiliation of the perimeter player, doesn't this weaken the reputation of the center star?

At that time, some people may say that center, will be an outdated position.

Yao Ming didn't want this, so he chose to retreat quickly.

To be honest, like the old Zhan in history, who only cared about his own data and disregarded the team's aging career in defense, no matter how beautiful the data was, it was not so decent. Yao Ming hoped that he could have a decent end.

In fact, the boss of the department and Chen Xiao both hope to have a decent ending.

So, the boss said, if he can't average 20 points per game, he will retire.

Chen Xiao also said before that if he loses his dominance in the game, he will also choose to retire.

Even Durant, who was only 25 years old, said that he would retire at 35.

Decent, for an NBA superstar, does matter.

On October 31st, the Warriors played away to the Los Angeles Clippers.

This season's Clippers can be said to be a big change. Howard traded for Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire, which seems to be very suitable for Xiaopao's style of play.

In the preseason this season, the Clippers led by Xiaopao had a good record of 7 wins and 1 loss.

The pick-and-roll between Tyson Chandler and Xiaobao, and the pick-and-roll between Stoudemire and Xiaobao, seem to be natural, and they don't even need to be run-in.

This is very incredible.

The Clippers seem to be stronger than last season.

As far as this game is concerned, the Warriors fell into a tough fight as soon as they came up.

At the end of the final game, the score of the two teams was also very close. The Warriors who finally played away were the Clippers who defeated 128-126.

The Clippers even had a close chance at the last minute, but unfortunately, after Xiaopao and Chandler picked and rolled, facing Chen Xiao's block, they struck a middle distance.

You must know that in this game, the mid-range pull-up jumper that Xiaopao and Chandler made a dribble breakthrough after the pick-and-roll was quite accurate.

In this game, Xiaopao scored 12 of 20, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 16 of 17 free throws, and scored 42 points, 15 assists and 6 steals.

After leaving the Bobcats, Xiaopao never showed such data and performance every time he met Chen Xiao. He even got eight kills when he met Chen Xiao last season.

In this game, Xiaopao played such data against the defenses of Chen Xiao and Bill. It can only be said that the pick-and-roll effect of Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire was too good.

Pick-and-roll with Tyson Chandler, can block outside defenders, can make Xiaopao madly call the Warriors inside, Lopez was sent off for 6 fouls in this game, thick eyebrows and Ibaka are also 5 Even Gobert, who only played 10 minutes, took 3 fouls.

In this game, the Warriors' inside players got a total of 22 fouls, and the Warriors team had 35 fouls in the whole game.

This is Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll effect.

As for Xiaopao and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, although Stoudemire's blocking effect is not that good, but Stoudemire can shoot, and a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the horn position, a pass, that is an assist.

Pick-and-roll with Chandler can score points, and pick-and-roll with Stoudemire can generate assists, which is why Xiaopao was able to score 43 points and 15 assists in this game.

The offense played so smoothly, the mentality became active, and the defense became more excellent and aggressive, which allowed him to take 6 steals in the whole game. The crazy output against Bill in this game reported himself in the season. The revenge of the playoffs.

Seriously, if it wasn't for Chen Xiao's explosive performance of 19 of 31, 10 of 17 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and 55 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, the Warriors would have directly explained this game. .

Therefore, even if the Clippers lost this game, Xiaopao was very happy at the press conference after the game.

"We almost beat the Warriors. They are one of the strongest teams in the league. I know that although we lost, we still have a lot of room for growth in the future!"

Indeed, if the Clippers have a better run-in in the future, this team will indeed be a very competitive team in the West.

Of course, before the Clippers showed their competitiveness, the Warriors, who won the first two games of the season against the Western Conference powerhouses, were already impressive.

At the beginning of this season, Chen Xiao, Klay and Bill's wave combination performed very well.

And the combination of thick eyebrows and big Lopez has also begun to become more and more tacit, and more and more effective.

The improvement of the Warriors can be said to be visible to the naked eye.

So, in all the games in the next November, the Warriors just lost to the Spurs away on November 8, and the rest of the games, all wins!

You can say that the Warriors' schedule in November is too simple. Except for the Spurs, there are only the Timberwolves, the Jazz and the Mavericks in the playoffs, and there is not even a single Eastern Conference playoff team.

But even so, you can get all the wins against weaker teams, which also means stability.

Last season, the Warriors were the most insecure team because of the large number of rookies and young people.

Throughout the October and November games, the Warriors came up with 16 wins and 1 loss, and their record was directly parachuted to the first position in the league, which made Chen Xiao undoubtedly the best of the month in the Western Conference in November.

Chen Xiao's data this month is 29 points, 9.5 rebounds and 13.5 assists per game. He has no triple-double per game, but this data is still scary.

The best of the month in the East is Durant, who has only lost 2 games.

By the way, although Chen Xiao did not average a triple-double per game, last month in the league, Westbrook, the new head of the Knicks, averaged a triple-double per game.

Averaging 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds per game, Westbrook's data can be said to stun everyone.

It wasn't just his stats that were stunned, but his field goal percentage, field goal percentage and ball usage percentage as well as turnovers and record.

He averaged 30 points on 26 attempts per game while shooting less than 42 percent from the field.

Averaged 5.5 turnovers and 11 assists per game, and the assist-to-turnover ratio was as high as 2 to 1.

And a player with an average triple-double, he led the Knicks to a record of only 5 wins and 12 losses with a superstar teammate like Howard.

Although there are indeed too many strong teams in the East, is your record too miserable?

By the way, what is even more terrifying is his ball usage rate, which is as high as 44%!

You must know that Kobe averaged 36 points per game that season, and the ball usage rate was less than 38%.

In the season when Chen Xiao averaged 44 points per game, the usage rate of the ball did not exceed 40%.

And more frightening than ball usage is possession time. Westbrook's possession time can be said to be on offense when the ball sticks to his hands.

It is precisely because of this that Westbrook made the NBA lively for a while. After all, it looks like another triple-double per game, and it is an average of 30+ triple-doubles per game.

But the triple-double, who averaged 30+ per game, seems to be a bit of a mixed bag.

Everyone is discussing whether Westbrook, who looks like a triple-double, is really brushing the data.

Even Chen Xiao was affected.

Every time Westbrook gets a triple-double, Chen Xiao is asked what he thinks of Westbrook's pursuit of a triple-double.

In this regard, Chen Xiao is also very helpless. You ask me what I think, what can I think? You want me to say he's swiping data, but I can't say that either.

Maybe he's not crunching stats, does he really think this can lead the team forward?

And that's why Westbrook's triple-double is so controversial right now.

Of course, the entire United States is controversial, but for New York and New York fans, they love Westbrook so much, this is an average triple-double, even if it is a brush, they love it.

"First fill up the data, the ball quotient and the control of the game can be improved later, Russell is undoubtedly our God!"

Well, New Yorkers say that Westbrook is the second Chen Xiao, Xiao Chen Xiao.

Just when Westbrook's triple-double was causing huge controversy across the league, the Warriors' record was in some jeopardy in December.

If November was a sweet month, December was, hell, tough for the Warriors.

Of the 16 opponents, 9 are teams in the Eastern and Western playoffs, among which there are very powerful teams such as the Cavaliers, Spurs, Bobcats, and Raptors.

So throughout December, the Warriors' record was a bit off the cliff, 10 wins and 6 losses.

However, in terms of the Warriors' schedule, this record is still very good. The Warriors have 26 wins and 7 losses in the first 33 games. This record ranks second in the league after the Spurs, Bucks and Heat. four.

This is much better than last season.

By the way, this season's regular season, the Spurs' performance is extremely eye-catching.

Finished 33 games and achieved a record of 30 wins and 3 losses.

Many people say that this season, the Spurs may have to achieve the first 70-win season in the team's history.

This season, the Spurs are chasing after victory and creating a taste of their own dynasty.

Moreover, the Spurs are deep in the West, and the strength is recognized as the strongest defending champion in the league. Therefore, it is much easier for them to achieve 70 wins than the teams in the East.

After all, in a season of 82 games, the West occupies 52 games, and in the entire West, there is no team on the same level as them. The Warriors, the second in the West, have lost two games in a row to them this season.

So, if the Spurs want to, 70 wins, it's really easy.

In fact, in history, the Spurs are also very close to 70 wins at this stage. You must know that in this stage of history, there is also a 70-win team in the West.

Popovich and the Spurs, who are now full of energy, obviously hope to leave more legends of their own in history.

They want to compete against the best team in history!

After all, the most recognized teams in history are all 70-win teams in the regular season + championship.

Once the Bulls, Heat, Bobcats, are the case.

So, in December, after the Warriors' record was surpassed by the Spurs, there was no chance to overtake them.

Even the record is in a state of being continuously pulled apart.

In January, the Warriors' record has improved, with 11 wins and 4 losses, which is much better than in December. The four games they lost in January were the Heat, Bucks, Wizards, and Clippers.

These four games are all away games, and the three games in which they lost the three Eastern Conference teams were the toughest seven-game Eastern Conference schedule for the Warriors this season.

To be honest, in the case of seven consecutive visitors in the East, they can achieve 11 wins and 4 losses. This record is already very good.

At least, in the West, in addition to the Spurs, the Warriors this season is also a team that makes the West quite proud.

So when the league announced the Western Conference All-Star lineup at the end of January, in addition to Chen Xiao and Lopez of the Warriors being selected as the starters, Klay and Nongmei were also selected again. In the end, Bill even replaced the injured ankle. Celebrity.

Well, in this year's All-Star Game, the Spurs' two stars, Maizi and Duncan, were both absent due to injuries.

One is a sprained ankle, the other is a sprained wrist, Maizi should be really hurt, and the idiot...

The head coach of this year's All-Star game is the Warriors' head coach Kerr. Last season was Popo. Obviously, Popo didn't want to give Kerr the opportunity to destroy Dumbly.

After all, the public opinion in the entire league is that it is time for Brother Luo to win the AMVP. Since Brother Luo is about to win the AMVP, it is certain that Chen Xiao, as a brother, will contribute, but you Maizi and Shizi are teammates. Not to work hard.

Now that Bobo is so full, the nerd and Maizi don't have to worry about whether or not to work hard in the All-Stars. If you don't go directly, my Ron will leave it all to you.

Well, especially you, Gao Dechen, you must do your best.

It can only be said that the Spurs and Popo this season are really big.

At the same time, this old boy Bobo is indeed a chicken thief. You have to take all the emotional benefits. Why don't you let Brother Luo also rest in the All-Star game?

After Roger won the Finals FMVP last season, coupled with the excellent regular season performance of the Spurs this season, Roger can be said to have been popular until now.

In the entire NBA, it can be said that there is no two in the limelight.

Although Bobo is a chicken thief, but last season's All-Star, Brother Luo and the Western All-Stars supported him to win the MVP. Even if Chen Xiao knew that Popo's behavior was a chicken thief, he couldn't because he didn't like Popo's behavior. The behavior of the chicken thief does not help Brother Luo.

And his physical strength is indeed no problem, and this season in the Warriors, because of the growth of the Warriors' young players, Chen Xiao did not consume as much as last season.

Therefore, in this year's All-Star Game, Chen Xiao played very hard, and while fighting, he couldn't score more points than Brother Luo, so he had to pay attention.

Of course, on the east side, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Du would not let Chen Xiao and the others succeed so easily.

Therefore, in this year's All-Star Game, the two sides played very fiercely, and in the end, the West defeated the East 165-163.

Well, fierce is fierce, confrontation and defense, it is definitely not that strong.

In the end, with the help of Chen Xiao, Luo Ge, who scored 40 points in 18 of 23 games, finally won the AMVP trophy, which is the first AMVP in his career.

After winning the FMVP last season, there is only one MVP left in the so-called three major MVPs.

And with his current prestige and qualifications, as long as the Spurs can get 70 wins this season, MVP, he has no opponent.

It can only be said that after winning the championship last season, Luo Ge has also entered the harvest period of honor, and it is also the real peak of strength.

After winning the championship, Luo Ge, who has a more peaceful mind, is really strong.

After all, Brother Luo's style of play, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is very suitable for that kind of facial paralysis.

In fact, Rogo and his apprentice Leonard have this style and temperament.

After the All-Star supported Luo Ge to win the AMVP, Chen Xiao returned to the Warriors, returned to the regular season, and began to support the growth of the Warriors' young players.

Unlike the young players of the Warriors who collapsed directly after the All-Star last season, this season, the young players of the Warriors did not exert their strength in the first half of the schedule for the All-Star, so they still have spare power in the second half of the schedule.

And Chen Xiao doesn't have to work as hard as he did last season.

And this season, the Warriors can't catch up with the Spurs, and they can't be caught up by the Clippers below. There is no pressure on the performance.

In the end, after playing in March and April, the Warriors finished with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and fifth in the league.

The Warriors' record this season is only two games better than last season.

But anyone who has watched the Warriors play these two seasons knows how different the Warriors are.

At the end of the regular season, when the Warriors beat the Timberwolves 130-120, Barkley said bluntly: "If the Spurs weren't too strong now, I even think that even last season, the Warriors could have made it to the Finals! "

Barkley spoke highly of the Warriors this season, however, the Spurs this season...

74 wins and 8 losses, the Spurs did not break the Bobcats' regular season record, but the content of the Spurs in the game is really disappointing.
