I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 764: An extraordinary new NBA season

Chen Xiao, who returned to Golden State after the Asian Championships, is very satisfied with the state of the Warriors' preparations this offseason.

The Warriors have maintained the team's main force throughout the offseason. The five main players and important rotation players are eagerly looking forward to defending their championship this season.

Even the three new players to the team, Devin Booker, Powell and Chuck Hayes, are not thorns, nor do they want to create disputes on the team, they are all conscientiously following the rest of the team for the team. to defend his title.

Such a united team atmosphere is exactly what Chen Xiao and Jerry West wanted.

With Duncan's retirement, the Warriors are basically invincible next season, and the entire league is basically invincible. The only team that can threaten the strongest Warriors next season is the Warriors themselves, as long as the Warriors are not chaotic and have no injuries. Tide, the Warriors next season, will be the undisputed No. 1 favorite.

This is also the reason why Jerry West has been very restrained this season and did not sign a major free agent.

After training with the team for two days, on October 6, Chen Xiao boarded a special plane to Europe with the Warriors players.

In this year's NBA, David Stern has started to work again.

In order to make it more convincing that the NBA championship is the world championship, David Stern decided that starting from this season, the NBA championship team last season will fly to Europe, and play a game with European powerhouse teams called The 'World Basketball Club International Championship', referred to as the 'Basketball Club World Cup', is hosted by FIBA ​​and the NBA. The low point is the switch back and forth between Europe and the NBA. The invited objects are the NBA championship and the Champions League. Champions of Turkey League, Italian League, Spanish League, China CBA League and other champions from 32 continents or countries around the world to participate.

The game is a single-game knockout system. The championships of the NBA and the Champions League are listed as the No. 1 seed in the upper and lower half, while other teams need to draw lots.

I have to say, David Stern is really playing a big game.

The cost of the first Club World Cup is quite a lot. Just the prize money for the championship is 2 million US dollars.

You know, the prize money for the NBA championship is less than $4 million.

In the basketball world, $2 million is a lot of money.

Even if you can't win the championship, as long as you participate, in addition to free food and lodging, reimbursement of air tickets, and no cost, there is an invitation fee of 200,000 US dollars.

The 200,000 invitation fee, which each team has, is not included in the bonus.

Champion 2 million

Runner-up 1.5 million

1 million runner-up

Fourth 800,000

Quarterfinals 500,000

300,000 for the top 16.

Therefore, this event is just for the bonuses and appearance fees, and it will cost 16.1 million US dollars. Counting the expenses of various staff such as accommodation and field training for each team, the 30 million US dollars will not be enough to hold this event.

However, the owners of all NBA teams have surprisingly unanimously agreed to hold this event.

In the future, whether or not this event will be able to profit and loss independently, it will also be held if it loses money. Now that the NBA is doing so well, this is an opportunity to expand its influence.

It is rare that FIBA ​​also supports it, so even better.

As for whether it will be hard to win the NBA championship, it really won't be that hard. Let's not talk about the level of the world's basketball clubs in the future. For now, it is definitely far less than the NBA.

What's more, all the games are played in one place without the hassle of traveling.

The host city of the first quarter of the Basketball World Club Cup is Madrid, which is considered the Holy Land of European basketball.

Real Madrid Basketball Club is the team with the most UEFA Champions League. It has won 9 times in total. This year, it has just won the UEFA Champions League again after 20 years.

It can be said that Real Madrid is now the central team of European basketball and the focus of public opinion.

Even Doncic, the No. 1 junior high school graduate of Chen Xiao Basketball School, refused the invitation of the Chen Xiao basketball team. Instead of playing in the CBA, he chose to go to Spain and play in Real Madrid.

Now the attention of the Chen Xiao basketball team is not low. Since Jokic's super explosion, the Chen Xiao basketball team has become the resident overseas team for scouts of various NBA teams.

However, whether Real Madrid is hot or not has nothing to do with Chen Xiao and the Warriors.

When Chen Xiao and the Warriors came to Madrid to participate in the World Cup this time, they came to be stars.

Let’s just put it this way, in the entire basketball world, Chen Xiao is still the most popular star. Even in Europe, the base of football, Chen Xiao’s plane landed at Madrid Airport and was surrounded by enthusiastic European reporters, media and fans. .

In the five games that I participated in here, the opponents in each game would chase after Chen Xiao like idols. They took pictures with Chen Xiao, and even many players cried when they took pictures with Chen Xiao.

This is no exaggeration at all. Chen Xiao is 33 years old this year. He has been in the NBA for 13 years and is about to start his 14th NBA season.

It can be said that most players in the basketball world now grew up watching Chen Xiao's games.

Even if people of the same age as Chen Xiao are still standing on the court at this time, they have all watched Chen Xiao's games for at least 13 years.

It can be said that Chen Xiao is the current Maradona + Pele in the basketball world, and he is also the current Maradona and Pele. If you are a football player, you will be excited to see these two active players.

For the Warriors, the intensity of the Basketball World Club Cup is a bit low. Even the Champions League champion Real Madrid is far from the Warriors' opponent.

But looking at such enthusiastic opponents, fans in Europe, the media, Chen Xiao and the Warriors are still taking this Club World Cup very seriously.

Chen Xiao played every game from the first round to the final.

And, every game is full court.

This has moved the opponents, European fans, and the media to the worst.

Chen Xiao, the **** of the basketball world, is too serious and respects his opponents too much.

That is to say, as long as the players of all opponent teams against the Warriors, no matter the starter or the bench, have the opportunity to compete with Chen Xiao on the same field.

So much so that in many games of the Warriors, many opponents players, the game was on, because they were stolen by Chen Xiao, or blocked, or made a shot in front of Chen Xiao, and they burst into tears in an instant of excitement.

Yes, this Club World Cup, the biggest impression on fans and spectators is that this group of five big and three rough old men are also made of water.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao's influence on the basketball world now is too great.

After all, whether he is in the NBA or FIBA, he is God's person, and he is the person who has achieved the highest achievement.

After five games in the Club World Cup, it was October 22 when Chen Xiao and the Warriors came back from Europe.

At this time, the NBA's preseason has ended, and all NBA teams are preparing for the opening game of the NBA regular season on October 27.

On October 27, 2015, at the Oracle Center in Oakland, Golden State, the Warriors' opponent in this year's opener was the Lakers.

Yes, the Lakers and the Warriors have played the opener again.

It can only be said that David Stern really understands what it means to catch a woolly thorn.

However, David Stern is indeed right this season. This season, Kobe and Chen Xiao are destined to become the two most talked-about people in the NBA.

By the end of last season, Kobe Bryant had scored 36,659 points in the regular season, and he was less than 300 points away from second-placed Malone.

For Kobe, this is a matter of 10 or so games, and the distance away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is also 1,700 points, which is only a matter of 60 games.

It can be said that this season, the entire NBA will be staring at Kobe's score.

However, such an achievement as the leader of Ke Ke is indeed worthy of everyone's attention. After all, the first Mr. 40,000 points.

Next season, as long as the boss of Keke does not suffer from a career-threatening injury, he will definitely become the first 40,000-point player in NBA history.

The boss of Ke Ke told Chen Xiao that he hoped that he would announce his retirement from the NBA the moment he scored 40,000 points in the NBA.

At that moment, it will definitely be very honorable.

Thinking about it a little, it is indeed very honorable.

So Chen Xiao said to the boss: "Then I hope that when my total points in the NBA regular season reach 50,000 points, I will retire from the NBA."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the chief of Keke went silent.

The Boss Ke was not silent because he was bragging about Chen Xiao, but the Boss suddenly discovered that Chen Xiao could indeed achieve 50,000 points in his career.

Chen Xiao is less than 26,000 points away from 50,000 points. For Chen Xiao, this is only a matter of eleven or twelve seasons.

With Chen Xiao's current physical condition, he does have a chance.

After all, Chen Xiao is now playing the full court at every turn, and his physical condition is too great.

The camera returns to the opener between the Lakers and the Warriors. Because the Warriors were the NBA champions last season, there is a link to award rings in this game.

The Warriors put this link before the game. Before the game, Chen Xiao received the seventh championship ring of his NBA career from the two owners of the Warriors, Bage and Wang.

"In front of Kobe, wearing the seventh ring that surpassed Jordan, I always felt that the arrangement of David Stern's game was full of malice to Kobe."

"Tracy, I think this is respect for Kobe, David Stern said to Kobe, look, someone has helped you achieve the dream you have been pursuing, and this person is still your die-hard fan. ."

After Chris Webber finished speaking, the wheat next to him fell silent.

This is the first game of his commentary career after he retired.

At this time, in front of the Lakers' bench, when Chen Xiao put on the championship ring, Kobe on the sidelines was madly applauding Chen Xiao.

Obviously, for Kobe, just like what Weber said, Chen Xiao helped him realize the dream he had pursued before.

For him, at this moment, he was both excited and satisfied.

Although, he was not the one who finally realized this dream.

But, at least, he did think correctly before. The whole world thought that Jordan was unsurpassable, but he felt that Jordan could also be surpassed!

And now, when Chen Xiao surpassed Jordan, it proved that his previous thoughts and pursuits were correct!

It's just that his strength is not enough, and he can't directly surpass Jordan like a fan like him.

But then again, Chen Xiao followed his Mamba Way and surpassed Jordan on his way!

This is not Ah Q, he is indeed honored.

Thinking of this, Boss Ke's mood is indeed very agitated.

So much so that in this match, in front of Chen Xiao, he played a few more pieces of iron to celebrate.

In this game, Boss Ke really went crazy. He just did it with the ball, and he vomited Klay, who was opposite him.

In the whole game, the leader made 16 of 50, 6 of 18 three-pointers, and 18 of 21 free throws. He scored 56 points and 34 irons in the whole game, breaking his own single-game blacksmithing record in one fell swoop.

Ke boss celebrated Chen Xiao's historical first with an NBA all-time No. 1.

Boss Ke's 34-gun salute was also fitting.

After beating the Lakers 121-111 in the opener, the defending champion Warriors seemed to be in the fast lane.

From October 27 to December 11, the Warriors started with a 24-game winning streak.

Until December 12, the Bucks played back-to-back on the road and finally lost 115 to 128.

Against the Bucks, the Warriors really couldn't win, because before the Bucks, the Warriors had played 5 consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference.

This wave is the hardest 6-straight Eastern Conference for the Warriors this season.

Bobcats, Raptors, Nets, Pacers, Celtics, Bucks…

In this wave, the Nets led by Irving were simpler.

The other five Eastern Conference teams are all Eastern Conference playoff-level teams.

However, the 24-game winning streak at the start of the season still makes the Warriors very satisfied with this record.

And after losing to the Bucks, the Warriors' winning streak started again.

And, the next loss will be the first game after the All-Star Game.

In the first game after the All-Star, the Warriors played the Trail Blazers away. This year's All-Star, the Warriors Chen Xiao, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com Jokic, Nongmei, Klay, Bill, five people were selected for the All-Star In the main game, the Blazers' head guard Lillard missed the chance again.

This young guard, who has always been strong, is waiting for this game to play against the Warriors.

In the end, because of the All-Star Weekend, the young players of the Warriors had some ups and downs. In addition, Lillard's game was really amazing. He hit 12 three-pointers in the three quarters and scored 57 points. Stream took away the Warriors.

So far, the Warriors' 27-game winning streak after losing to the Bucks on the road has also come to an end with the Blazers.

After that, in the remaining games, the Warriors lost their last loss of the season, which was a back-to-back away game against the Spurs on March 19. In this game, the Warriors lost to the Spurs 111-118.

In the end, at the end of the regular season this season, the Warriors' record was 79 wins and 3 losses, which once again refreshed the NBA regular season winning record, and the record that was refreshed was Chen Xiao's 78 in the Bobcats. 4 wins and 4 losses.

By the way, during the game between the Warriors and the Lakers, the Warriors defeated the Lakers away, but also witnessed Kobe's total score surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

Therefore, these two records make the regular season of the 2015-2016 season destined to become extraordinary.
