I’m Really Playing Basketball

After leading the Chinese Men's Basketball World Cup to win the first championship, Chen Xiao and the Chinese team players returned to China to celebrate for half a month before returning to the United States.

When Chen Xiao returned to the United States, the Warriors' preseason training camp had already begun.

Another player who returned to the Warriors at the same time as Chen Xiao was Devin Booker.

Devin Booker felt a little depressed after the World Cup.

Although the U.S. team failed this year, most of the media and fans of the U.S. team threw the blame on Lillard and Westbrook. As an ordinary rotation Devin Booker, although he was also very undercover, he still did not Qualifications were met by angry fans and pundits in the United States.

After all, the cards are not enough.

Although no meeting was held, it is clear that Devin Booker, who performed well in this year's NBA Finals, went to the World Cup this time, and he definitely wanted to perform. Not only did he want to perform, but he also hoped to be great Kill the Quartet and establish his star quality in one fell swoop.

Although everyone has recognized his strength now, his grade is still far from that of Nongmei, and even far from Kelai.

After all, before he killed the Quartet in the finals, Kelai had already killed the Quartet long ago.

Buddha's coming is no worse than his 40+ consecutive games in the finals.

However, no one thought that such a thing would happen in the end.

As an NBA star, it is not so easy to play an unknown international player in FIBA.

This whole thing made him wonder if he played the same basketball. Is there such a big gap between FIBA ​​and NBA?

Not to mention, the gap between FIBA ​​and NBA is really quite big now.

In history, FIBA ​​has catered to the rules and stars of the NBA because of the great potential of the NBA.

But in this time and space, because of the strength of the Chinese team in the past 20 years, FIBA ​​does not follow the rules of the NBA.

The NBA stars who are like a duck to water in the NBA, it is difficult to fully adapt to the FIBA ​​arena.

Unless you're like Durant, who has the absolute strength to adapt to any basketball rules and system.

Otherwise, it is not easy to fully exert one's own strength.

Of course, there aren't many cliff-hangers like Lillard and Westbrook.

It can only be said that this time, the American team led by Jordan has encountered a piece of Wolongfengchu, and there is no way to do this.

Therefore, two years ago, the media in the United States held a summer meeting between Oden and Leonard. In the end, neither of them fell, and now they have been recognized again.

And this summer, it's the turn of Lillard and Westbrook.

These two, this offseason is really difficult.

For the Warriors, though, none of this has anything to do with them.

In October, Chen Xiao returned to the team, and after the team adjusted to training for two days, he took the Warriors players to Milan, Italy, to participate in the Club World Cup held there.

This is the Warriors' fourth consecutive Club World Cup participation, and it is also the Warriors' fourth consecutive year of decisiveness.

In this Club World Cup, in addition to Chen Xiao, a player who must play every game, the Warriors made extensive use of the two rookies Mitchell Robinson and Alexander this year.

Even the two of them played a lot of starters, and their performances were naturally good, and the two of them adapted very well in the summer league.

And in the preseason level of the World Club Cup, the performance of the two is also very good.

Judging from the strength they have shown, both are eligible for a rotation opportunity next season.

Let's just put it this way, although the Warriors have players like Michael Porter Jr. who will be reimbursed for one season and a locker room leader like Matt Barnes who can't play, the Warriors will still be quite adequate next season. of.

Centers: Chen Xiao, Allen, Mitchell Robinson

Power forward: Thick eyebrows, John Collins

Small Forwards: Wade, Jaylen Brown, Norman Powell

Shooting guards: Claire, Devin Booker, Alexander

Point guards: Ron Howard, Curry Jr., VanVleet

There are 14 players in total. There is no problem with this kind of staffing, and each position has a good thickness.

If Alexander and Mitchell are not strong enough, the Warriors can let Ron Howard and Wade play more. This is no problem at all. Wasn't that the case last season.

Let’s just put it this way, although the whole world says that the Warriors don’t need to think about the championship next season, and the Warriors themselves know that the championship next season will not be so easy, but really want the Warriors to give up defending the NBA championship next season, this Certainly not realistic.

As the defending champion, how can there be no pursuit?

Therefore, with Ron Howard and Wade getting older, the Warriors definitely need to improve the competitiveness of other players in the team, and rookies without competitiveness will definitely not be reused.

Fortunately, Mitchell and Alexander are both young people who can be reused.

Allowing them to share some of the pressure on Wade and Ron Howard, giving Wade and Ron Howard more rest in the regular season and more fuel in the playoffs.

Whether it can beat the Lakers, the Cavaliers or the Bucks in the playoffs, the Warriors will definitely not give up their pursuit of the championship.

After Chen Xiao returned to the United States with the players of the Warriors, on October 23, the Warriors played at home against the biggest competitor in the Western Conference this year, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers played the Warriors last season, almost every game was very intense.

Don't look at the Lakers being restrained by the Jazz. They were beaten up against the Jazz in the playoffs last season, but the Lakers won't be restrained against the Warriors.

Because the Warriors don't have a tall defensive center like Gobert who can hold the paint.

So that's why Jerry West would trade Diano for Mitchell Robinson.

Robinson can protect the frame anyway, and the ability to protect the frame is very good.

Against the Lakers, Chen Xiao can give up the center position and then go to the 3 position to play small forward. Anyway, Leonard is not the kind of 3 position who can break through sharply. Chen Xiao's speed disadvantage will not be that big, even if he is caught. Breakthrough, Mitchell Robinson can also protect the rim at the basket.

Historically, Robinson averaged 2.4 rebounds per game and nearly 3 offensive rebounds per game in his rookie season with only 20 minutes of playing time per game. This data is simply invincible.

So, it's very interesting that in this year's opener, Mitchell Robinson, a second-round pick, started with the Lakers, and in his first NBA game, Mitchell Robinson went 5-for-5. , 11 points, 1 steals, 2 blocks and 5 fouls.

In just 15 minutes of playing time, it is really good to be able to play such data.

The disadvantages are obvious, and the advantages are also obvious.

Most importantly, Mitchell was useful against the Lakers.

In fact, Mitchell, who has played his rookie season in history, is not very good at playing. After all, Robinson is a 2.16-meter, 110-kilogram big center, and he has such excellent athletic ability and long arms.

How else could Barkley rate his second-round pick as a potential 9 player.

Mitchell's physical fitness is really good, but his offense is also really rough, maybe even rougher than Kwame Brown in history.

However, Mitchell Robinson didn't say to Chen Xiao, "Don't pass the ball to me!"

Although the independent attack is almost zero, Mitchell Robinson is quite confident, especially in his secondary attack ability.

In this game, Teacher Yao was attacked by the basket.

The power forward partner Kuzma next to Mr. Yue really couldn't protect Mr. Yue, and it was Leonard who finally protected Mr. Yao. Leonard's backcourt rebound protection was still very good.

Therefore, Kuzma is a very distinctive offensive player, and his defense is really not good. After the first half, he was pushed to the bench by the boss of Keke. In the third quarter, the Lakers started as a power forward, and the boss of Keke was assigned this year. The No. 25 pick Robert Williams.

Not to mention, although Robert Williams' offense is not very good, his defense is really good, a little bit of Mitchell Robinson's taste.

The Warriors, who had the advantage in the first half, were inextricably linked with the Lakers in the second half.

The Warriors don't care about Mitchell Robinson's offense because they have enough players on the offense and can play without him.

The same is true for the Lakers, because the Lakers also have enough starting offensive players. Lowry, Paul George, Leonard, and Jokic can all attack. These four people lack a defensive partner who can protect Teacher Yoo.

And Robert Williams is definitely a very good candidate.

So although the Lakers lost to the Warriors 110-116 in the opener.

But after the game, the boss of the division was very confident. When hugging Chen Xiao, he said to Chen Xiao, "In the next game, the winning team will definitely be us!"

It has to be said that the boss of the department does have such self-confidence capital.

Let's just put it this way, the power forward position is finally not the Lakers who are stabbed by thousands of people, and there are almost no loopholes on the defensive end.

The defense of Lori and Teacher Yue is not strong, but it is above the standard.

And Paul George, Leonard and Robert Williams' striker are definitely super top strikers.

Let’s just put it this way, in the current league, most teams are actually starting to attack the Lakers quickly. The strengths of the team are the front lines, and your front line is exactly on the Lakers. Three strikers.

It can be said that this lineup of the Lakers is definitely the nemesis of most teams in the league.

Therefore, the gain or loss of a game is not only based on the outcome of the game itself, but also what you get in the game.

Obviously, the Lakers got it, and the Warriors naturally got it.

Mitchell Robinson and Alexander are doing well.

After beating the Lakers, the Warriors easily went on a 12-game winning streak.

It was not until the back-to-back home game against the Bucks on November 8 that the Warriors ushered in their first defeat of the season.

And the first defeat in this game was pretty tragic.

121-134 loss at home by a full 13 points.

In this game, in addition to Durant and Curry, Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 blocks.

In addition, Brogdon and Connaughton also scored 20 and 15 points off the bench. The Bucks were really full of vitality in this game, and all the people were soldiers.

A stark contrast to the somewhat aging Warriors.

Originally, the Warriors were not so old. Nongmei and Kelai were 25 years old and 28 years old. They were not too old, but when they came back from the off-season, they were overweight, and their condition was actually not that good.

Last season, Chen Xiao suspended the two of them for more than a month. When they came back this season, they were not so fat that they were unrecognizable, but they were still overweight.

This is actually impossible.

Both belong to the accomplished, both belong to the rich young man, you ask a young billionaire to be an ascetic in the offseason?

This must be your misunderstanding of human nature.

Let's just put it this way, if Wade wasn't under the control of the yellow-faced woman at home, and if Chen Xiao wasn't systematic, Chen Xiao and Wade would be even more embarrassed to come back in the offseason.

In the entire Warriors team, Rogo is the real ascetic.

With Chen Xiao's lifestyle, if he didn't have a system, he would have been empty by now. It is estimated that he would be out of breath and cold sweat after a single session of a game.

That is, the system helped him lock 100 stamina, which is really top.

Therefore, in the regular season this season, the Warriors will not be better off against such strong teams as the Bucks and Cavaliers, especially at the beginning of the season, when the state of thick eyebrows and Kelai have not adjusted back.

After losing to the Bucks, the Warriors beat the Nets and Hawks at home, then lost back-to-back 116-121 to the Clippers on the 13th.

In this game, Chen Xiao, Luo Ge and Wade were rested. Kelai made 13 of 31 shots and 5 of 16 three-pointers, and scored 31 points inefficiently.

Devin Booker was 10 of 26 and scored 24 points.

In this game, the two are really out of the sky.

After losing to the Clippers, the Warriors' next three consecutive visitors in the Southwest Division, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. com beat Houston, beat Dallas, and finally lost back-to-back to the Spurs on Nov. 18.

In this game, Chen Xiao did not rest, Wade and Rogo were rested, and Nongmei also rested. Kelai was 11 of 26, 3 of 11 three-pointers, Devin Booker 8 of 25, and 1 of 8 three-pointers.

So far this season, Klai's three-point shooting has even dropped below 35%, and Devin Booker's shooting percentage has also dropped below 40%.

Obviously, at the beginning of the season, the overweight weight affected Kelai, and Kelai started the same cycle of super ghost at the beginning of the season and super **** at the end of the season as in history.

And Devin Booker was simply affected by the World Cup, and his confidence was somewhat affected and did not adjust.

Also, after playing four consecutive games from the southwest, the Warriors got the repair of the four-straight home team. After these four consecutive victories, the Warriors will start their first consecutive Eastern Conference road trip this season.

Menglong, Pistons, Eagles, Cavaliers and Bucks.

In five games, the Warriors had 3 wins and 2 losses, and finally lost to the Cavaliers and Bucks without any suspense.

Before Christmas, the Warriors have lost five games this season, 23 wins and 5 losses, and this record is still ranked first in the Western Conference.

This is a good beginning.

However, this was the Warriors' worst start to the last four seasons!
