I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 804: Me, Bobo, I have to prove myself!

Chen Xiao was asked a lot of questions about the Bobcats at a press conference before the Western Conference finals between the Warriors and the Spurs on May 14 because of the Bobcats' civil unrest.

Most of them asked him what he thought of Jimmy Butler's behavior.

After Butler's famous quote came out, it really caused a huge controversy for the entire NBA.

Many people are moved by this famous quote from Butler. The lack of talent has become the top star in the NBA through their own efforts, which is really inspirational.

Most of these touched people are fans, and fans just like to see things like this happen.

But in the same way, many players in the NBA are very disgusted with Jimmy Butler's statement.

Co-author, you have poor talent, so it makes sense to do anything?

With your efforts, you can challenge the authority of the team at will?

In fact, when it comes to the Bobcats civil strife, Butler's approach must be very controversial. No matter how dissatisfied you are with Cousins and other players, you have team boss Ross above you, team leader Roy above you, and then And Jordan on it.

You can communicate, there is really no need to directly flip the table with your teammates.

So after Butler's famous remarks came out, some unnamed NBA stars said: "I am weak, I work hard, I am justified? I admire Butler's career, but he did it wrong this time, He shouldn't have made the team's conflict public."

It can only be said that Butler did create a problem of unknown size for Jordan, the Bobcats and Chen Xiao.

For Jordan, this problem is not handled well, and that is the big problem of the nuclear bomb level.

For Chen Xiao, if the answer to this question is not good, it may turn him and those former Bobcats teammates against each other.

Don't look at the fans on the Internet who are supporting Butler. Inside the Bobcats, even if Butler staged a tie-breaker, I'm afraid no one will support him.

So, for Chen Xiao at this time, any question about the Bobcats is a proposition.

As long as he answers, it is a proposition.

"For the current NBA, we are able to see teammates in a team fighting for victory, so it is lucky for all of us, when you miss the NBA in the 90s again and again, When you miss Jordan, Pippen's Bull, you shouldn't treat the current Bobcats like a witch hunt. What the Bobcats do now is essentially the same as what the Bulls did, if you can tolerate it. In the past, I hope that everyone, including fans, players, celebrities, and the media, can tolerate the present.

What each of them is doing now is to win. "

It has to be said that although Chen Xiao's answer cannot be said to be perfect, he still managed not to stand in line, and at the same time supported all the Bobcats players.

And what Chen Xiao said really made it difficult for the media who wanted to make trouble to do it so easily.

At the same time, it also allowed Jordan to find a way to solve the team's problems.

In fact, after Jordan heard Chen Xiao's interview, his eyes really lit up.

That's right, the incident between Butler and his teammates is really nothing. Butler dissed the entire team with one person, and when he was in the Bulls, he also bullied the entire team with one person.

And Butler still has a reason for this. Back then, he was in the Bulls with Cole, Pippen, and Kukoc... Did he have a reason back then?

Well, there are still reasons, but they are not so legitimate, and the reasons for Butler and his teammates' conflict are more just than he was back then.

So, he doesn't need that kind of savagery at all.

Historically, after Butler dissed Noah, although Noah and Rose left the Bulls, Butler also left the Bulls.

After all, for the original Bulls, a player like Butler who had no reverence for the team boss and the team system was indeed not easy to discipline.

If he doesn't leave, other players in the team will be afraid when they see him, and the team's chemistry will probably be difficult.

But for Jordan, that's not the case.

Although the Bobcats are a dynasty team and many players in the team are dynasty players, Jordan can still hold back.

As for the contradictions that everyone has produced now, isn't it just contradictions? Back then, when he made so many Bulls players, didn't those players honestly follow him to win the championship?

so…

"In the NBA, personal relationships are a piece of shit, and pursuit is the key. As long as you have enough pursuit, even if you kill your father, you will win the **** championship together!"

Boss Qiao's words are not wrong, so in the history of the Bulls' retired celebrities, one by one, they engaged in Boss Qiao, just like their own enemies who killed their father. Here, Second Master Pi and Cobra will not be named.

However, although after retiring, they were crazy about Boss Joe, but when they were in the Bulls, they were really very dedicated.

Back to the Western Conference finals between the Warriors and Spurs.

On the court, after the two teams warmed up and greeted each other, the starters of both teams also stood on the court.

The Spurs' starting lineup for this game is center Dwight Howard, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Ding Yanyuhang, and point guard Dejounte Murray.

This starter of the Spurs is a starting lineup that combines the old, middle and young generations.

Howard and Pau Gasol are veterans, and these two veterans have performed very well with the Spurs this season.

Leonard is a superstar of the year and is one of the best performers in the playoffs this year. He defeated Xiaopao and the Clippers by himself in the last round. He averaged 28 points per game and hit rate And the three-point shooting rate all went up to 50%, which shocked a lot of people.

And Ding Yanyuhang and Dejounte Murray need to talk.

Ding Yanyuhang, a former Warriors player, has performed very well since he came to the Spurs this season. As a B-level player, his offense is definitely B+ or above. Popovich did not waste Ding Yanyuhang's offensive talent.

The ball control Ding Yanyuhang learned from Chen Xiao and the quick-stop mid-range jumper that he learned from Livingston are very important to the Spurs.

The whole world knows that Leonard is a Rogo with a weakened organization and a large physique. The way he plays is not the type of talent that creates opportunities for his teammates, but the type of offensive type who uses his singles to be a killer.

Such a player actually needs a player who can digest the ball and attack with the ball.

Just like Westbrook next to Durant in history.

VanVleet next to Leonard in history.

Although they are always criticized for being ironclad, they are useful around Durant and Leonard.

They can create opportunities for Durant or Leonard.

And Ding Yanyuhang has played such a role in the Spurs this season.

Just like Arenas was by Roger's side back then.

Of course, Ding Yanyuhang's strength is definitely not comparable to Arenas.

But his skill and punch still brought a lot to the Spurs.

Let’s not talk about the regular season, let’s just say that in the playoffs, Ding Yanyuhang can contribute 12 points and 3.1 assists per game in the playoffs, with a shooting rate of 45% and a three-point shooting rate of 35%, ranking third in the team in scoring. Assists ranked third on the team, and while the efficiency wasn't that high, it was a positive on the court.

Any player in the NBA can be proud and affirmed when a conference finals team can play a positive role in the playoffs.

And Dejounte Murray, the rookie, is a huge discovery for the Spurs this season.

This lottery pick that fell to the end of the first round, the original draft market was the same as Jaylen Brown, but Jaylen Brown was selected eighth by the Warriors, and he was dropped to the end of the first round as a small green house player .

Just when many people thought he might sink, they didn't expect to be reused by Popovich.

As a starter in the regular season, he averaged 28 minutes per game and averaged 8.1 points, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43% and a three-pointer percentage of 40%. These data are excellent.

In the playoffs, Dejounte Murray's numbers were originally thought to be shrinking. Unexpectedly, not only did they not shrink, but they also increased.

In the playoffs so far, Murray's rookie season's playoff statistics are 11 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game in 30 minutes per game. For a rookie point guard, this data is simply divine.

Of course, if you have to pick a fault, it is that his shooting percentage has fallen off a cliff compared to the regular season. In the playoffs, his shooting percentage is only 38%. As for the three-point shooting percentage, well, until now, He has yet to make a 3-pointer in the playoffs.

As far as Dejounte Murray's shooting efficiency is concerned, it's not a problem to see him as a Westbrook who doesn't shoot as much.

His shooting is indeed as unstable as Westbrook's, but he can fight as well as steal. His style of play is really quite similar to Westbrook's.

Of course, just like Ding Yanyuhang, although Dejounte Murray's efficiency was low, his existence made Leonard easier.

Therefore, Popo, who values efficiency so much, still believes so much in Dejounte Murray in the playoffs.

Because in Popo's view, Dejounte Murray's inefficiency is still beneficial to the team as a whole.

Going back to the Warriors, the Warriors will start with center Jokic, power forward Chen Xiao, small forward Wade, shooting guard Klay, and point guard Ron Howard.

Because the opposing Spurs have two traditional insiders, Howard and Big Gasol, the Warriors played their only big center, Jokic, in this game.

Jokic has been caught in a trade turmoil recently, but both Chen Xiao and the Warriors know that Jokic is in a very normal mood now. Obviously, he is also very aware of his own situation with the Warriors.

For the Warriors' cap space, it is indeed impossible for him to stay in the Warriors.

In this case, if you can use a dynasty to end his career with the Warriors, this is definitely a huge temptation for Jokic.

So Jokic did not become a hidden danger to the team as many experts predicted after being deeply involved in trade rumors, and even he is now fighting harder than ever.

In this game, the Spurs not only had Ding Yanyuhang, a former important player of the Warriors, but Gobert, who was sitting on the Spurs bench, was also an important player of the Warriors last season.

Regardless of whether it was Ding Yanyuhang or Gobert, they were warmly welcomed by Warriors fans when they returned to the Oracle Center.

The court is important. Howard and Jokic jumped the ball. When Jokic only made a little jump ball, Howard successfully won the opportunity for the Spurs to take the lead.

Dejounte Murray dribbled the ball through half court quickly, and after a little observation of the Warriors' defensive formation, the young point guard with a lot of impact stepped on Hot Wheels and shot inside.

This is Popovich's special order to Dejounte Murray in this game, that is, to strengthen his own style, the team should not play the offensive core of the two teams, Gasol and Leonard, step by step at the beginning. , but it was Dejounte Murray who brought the rhythm of the game.

Even in order to bring the rhythm of the game up, it doesn't matter that Dejounte Murray is less efficient.

In the game against the Warriors, if they can't take advantage of the Warriors' weaknesses, no team can have a chance.

The weakness of the Warriors is the slow heat in the first quarter and the physical problem of the veteran in the fourth quarter.

If the Warriors don't take the opportunity to give the Warriors strength in the first quarter, the Warriors won't have the physical problem in the fourth quarter.

So, any team that plays against the Warriors, how well they play in the first quarter, is the winner of the game.

If you can't catch the Warriors' weakness in the first quarter, then congratulations, you don't have to continue playing this game, you can rest for the next game.

Because, definitely lose!

It has to be said that although Popovich was taught by a group of masters in the international coaching circle in FIBA to be a man.

But on the NBA stage, Popovich is definitely a master.

His knowledge of the game and his mastery of the game are among the best in the entire league.

In this regard, Cole is much worse. Cole's ability to adjust is very strong, but Cole is not so good at this kind of sudden attack ability.

In the face of Dejounte Murray's hurricane, the opponent Rogo was prepared, but Murray was too resolute. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

It's hard to imagine a rookie doing it directly after the game, regardless of the team's bosses.

So although Roger tried his best to cover Murray with his height and wingspan, as long as Murray was a little less determined, he wondered if he would face Ron Howard, one of the greatest defenses in the NBA, not to hit hard, but Passing the ball, he will definitely be blocked by Rogo from behind, but Murray did not make such a choice.

But under the circumstance of being covered by Roger, he successfully dunked by taking advantage of his forward position.

2 to 0!

I have to say that Murray's attack is not only resolute, but also smart enough.

On the sidelines, Popovich was also extremely satisfied with Murray's offensive performance.

This is what he wants to see!

As the three major prisoners of the 2016 Olympic Games.

Both Oden and Leonard have re-proven themselves.

But Popovich has yet to prove himself.

And this series is his chance!

Are the Warriors strong?

Very very powerful!

But in Popovich's view, such a flawed super team...
