I’m Really Playing Basketball

With the opening of the new season training camps of NBA teams, the new NBA season has officially entered the schedule.

The opening game of the 2007-2008 NBA season is when the defending champion Bobcats face the Milwaukee Bucks at home on October 30.

The preseason before the start of the regular season starts on October 6 and ends on October 26. During the period, a total of 119 games will be played, 21 of which will be held outside North America.

As the NBA has received more and more attention and popularity around the world, the nba has been developing overseas markets in recent seasons, especially in the preseason games. The number of overseas preseason games in each season is constantly increasing. rise.

Among them, four teams, the Magic, Cavaliers, Hornets and Lakers, will go to Europe to compete from October 7th to 11th.

The European region is an area that David Stern attaches great importance to. This time David Stern sent his own king bomb to Europe. The last runner-up Lakers with the Gasol brothers, in addition , the Magic have the French player Parker, the Turkish player Turkoglu and the Georgian center Pachulia, while the Hornets have Peja, one of the most popular stars in Europe. Even the Cavaliers have European players. Kobe Bryant's Spangloris.

Apparently, David Stern is preparing to open a big one in Europe this year.

Except for Europe, a region that David Stern values ​​​​very much.

Another area that David Stern values ​​​​very much is China.

The team sent to Asia this time is also quite luxurious.

The teams participating in the NBA China preseason this year will include Yao Ming's Heat and Chen Xiao's Bobcats.

Although the number of teams is not as many as in Europe, for the Chinese audience, they really don't care about the number of teams. As long as Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are present, it is better than the arrival of the entire NBA team.

At that time, the two teams will play the first game in Shanghai on October 17, and go to Guangzhou for the second game on October 20.

The Lynx team will also play against the Chinese men's basketball team in Nanjing on October 18.

And on October 21, the Heat will play against the Chinese men's basketball team in BJ.

The China match between the Bobcats and the Heat this time has the slightest meaning of exercising the national team.

In addition, on October 13, Panathinaikos of Greece, the European League champion, will go to Texas to challenge the Dallas Mavericks with Nowitzki.

Prior to this, on October 11, Panathinaikos will also challenge the Spurs with Ron Howard and Arenas Howard in San Antonio.

It can be said that the current NBA and international basketball exchanges are really getting closer.

On October 9, 2007, after more than half a month of training camp, the Bobcats finally ushered in their first preseason opponent of the new season, a home game against the New York Knicks.

For the NBA, although the preseason games are not included in the regular season record rankings, the preseason games are actually the beginning of a new season and are officially recognized by the NBA.

Therefore, this game against the New York Knicks was also the beginning of Chen Xiao's sixth season in his career.

As a 'veteran' who is about to usher in his sixth season, Chen Xiao's expectations for the preseason are of course different from those of a rookie like Feshenko.

Chen Xiao looked at his current attribute panel. This is the attribute panel when Chen Xiao left Xinshou Village, and it is completely different from the attribute panel that Chen Xiao was protected by the system in Xinshou Village before.

When I was in Novice Village, there were occupational grades, skill points, and other things on the panel.

But now, these are gone.

So, it looks really a little more concise.

However, if you want to say whether the current system panel is better than the previous one, it must be a matter of opinion.

Chen Ling didn't think the previous one was better, but Chen Ling felt that it was quite interesting to use the scoring experience card casually.

But now, after leaving the Novice Village, he was already number one in the league, and he no longer had such benefits for beginners.

Therefore, many things need to be solved by himself, rather than relying on the opening and closing of the system.

For example, after the Bobcats won the championship, they suffered from the championship syndrome that all championship teams have. This also needs to be solved by Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao is actually a little worried about the current situation of the Bobcats.

If the Bobcats can win consistently next season, the team's problems won't arise.

If something goes wrong for the Bobcats next season, it's likely that the problem will explode.

For example, the Bobcats' record next season is not very good, Jordan will adjust the team's lineup, Zach Randolph will really be put on the bench then, will Randolph stop making trouble?

Even if Randolph respected him as the boss and the team as the head coach, Randolph couldn't bear it for the sake of his own All-Star.

For another example, if Jordan wants to improve Roy's team status and put more burden on Roy's shoulders after the team has a problem, then Paul must be the one who was sacrificed, will Xiao Cannon not make trouble?

It can be said that Chen Xiao just left after leading the Nets and Cavaliers to championships. He had never thought about these things.

Let’s not talk about the Nets for now. Both he and Kevin Key are gone, and the team is basically dismantled.

Let's talk about the Cavaliers. After Chen Xiao left, the Cavaliers' championship syndrome was borne by Xiao Zhan.

The final result is that James' performance in the Cavaliers in the past two seasons cannot be said to be terrible, but he is also struggling.

Because after winning the championship, other players on the Cavaliers each had their own ideas, and the end result was that after two seasons, the Cavaliers were basically disbanded.

Chandler, Mo Mo, Diaw, Al Jefferson and other players have all left.

And this is also the path that the championship syndrome will inevitably take if it cannot be solved, that is, disbandment.

You have no way to mediate the ambitions and demands of each player, and it will be difficult to force them together in the end. Naturally, the final result will be disbandment.

Chen Xiao actually didn't want to get to this point.

Even Joe, who has established two dynasties in the NBA, has nothing to do.

Because as long as you pay a little attention, in fact, the important players of the two Bulls dynasties have also undergone a lot of changes. Let's put it this way, if it weren't for the 'classic' long-term contract signed by Pi Er Ye, Pi Er Ye would have left long ago. .

Therefore, even a player with full leadership ability like Jordan can only delay the dissolution of the team, but cannot solve it.

However, the Bulls were indeed in a better situation than the Bobcats are now.

Why do you say that?

Because the Bulls were the strongest team in the NBA at the beginning, the Bulls could keep winning, so the problem could always be suppressed.

The Bobcats are different. Let alone the strongest team, according to many media rankings, there are at least three teams that are stronger than the Bobcats.

Also, the bobcats had bigger problems than the bulls did at the time.

The Bulls' original problem, even the biggest one between Boss Qiao and Pi Er, was not a life-and-death conflict and could be compromised.

For example, let Mr. Pi take the ball and Mr. Qiao use his hands.

And an accident that further eased the conflict between the two people also happened, that is, Boss Qiao retired for a season and a half, which allowed Erye Pi to get addicted to Boss. After getting addicted, he became a lot more honest.

But these problems with Bobcats...

Whether it is the conflict between Bynum and Randolph, Paolo Roy, or Aldridge and Randolph, this is actually a zero-sum conflict. There is no solution. You can only choose one, not both. select.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao asked Boss Qiao about this issue, Boss Qiao would say that to Chen Xiao.

"Chen, although I have established two dynasties, I have always felt that I am very lucky. I have never encountered a group of opponents as strong as you, and I have never encountered such a complicated teammate relationship. Therefore, my experience Not very applicable to you.”

This is Boss Qiao's truth, so in the end, Chen Xiao can only solve the team's current problems step by step.

The team looks good now, and Chen Xiao hopes the team can continue to look good like this.

And if you want to do this, then try to win all the time.

On October 9, 2007, the Bobcats played their first game of the season at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. As a championship team, the Bobcats received a very warm welcome from Charlotte fans at home.

It has to be said that after winning the championship last season, the Bobcats' current popularity in Charlotte is really not overshadowed.

So much so that the Knicks players playing away games were amazed at this moment.

By the way, they have heard of the legend of Charlotte.

But there is no trace of the original legend in Charlotte now.

Just look at the madness of Charlotte fans at this time, saying that there is no problem for them to come to Boston now.

Therefore, faced with such a scene, the Knicks players have full respect for Chen Xiao, who has done a great job here.

Especially Chen Xiao’s former younger brother, Jamal Crawford, now the head coach of the New York Knicks.

After Jamal Crawford left Chen Xiao and the Cavaliers, his personal data in the Knicks has become more and more luxurious in the past three seasons. Last season, he even scored 20+5+5 data, becoming the Knicks The boss forced Marbury to leave, and also forced Alan Houston to terminate his contract.

Although he has become the boss in the Knicks, with the best statistics and the most "knives and pulls", every night when he dreams, Crawford always remembers that he was Chen Xiao's younger brother in the Cavaliers and accompanied him. Watch Chen Xiao win together and move forward together.

Those years were really happy.

But in the end, he gave up such happiness for money.

But now, after he had made money and obtained the data he had dreamed of, he found that what he wanted more was the years he spent with Chen Xiao.

It has to be said that human beings are such complex creatures.

People outside the wall want to come in, while people inside the wall want to get out.

And this wall that tests NBA humanity is victory and championship.

There is no doubt that Crawford is outside the wall, while Cannon, Randolph and others are inside the wall.

This game between the Bobcats and the Knicks is not a regular season game but a preseason game. Coupled with the Knicks' average strength, the Bobcats will certainly not go all out.

This game is basically a game where Bobcats players come out to make an appearance. Last season's champion players have gained a lot of time in this game. There are 13 people, everyone is fighting for the first, and everyone is fighting bravely. Let the Bobcats fans on the scene watch It's also very hilarious.

I have to say that no matter whether the Bobcats are affected by the championship syndrome or not, at least, when the team has no difficulties, the Bobcats are united and good, as if they are like a promising defending champion .

On the contrary, the Knicks on the other side look like a joke.

The result of this game was, of course, that the Bobcats beat the Knicks by 20 points 120-100 at home.

After defeating the Knicks at home, the Bobcats continued their strength in the preseason.

This preseason, including the China game, the Bobcats have a total of eight games to play.

In the next seven games, including the China game against the Heat, the defending champion Bobcats won eight games.

This record, I have to say, surprised Bobcats fans and Chinese fans.

After all, the Bobcats are the only preseason team to keep winning.

For a while, whether in the United States or in China, countless fans were laughing at those experts and media who ranked the Bobcats fifth, sixth or fourth in the power list, thinking that they ranked the Bobcats low.

The Bobcats are in such a good state this season, they are still the biggest favorites to win the championship, even if they are not the biggest favorites, they should be one of the biggest favorites.

It's just that what these fans saw was not all.

In the NBA's preseason games this season, the Bobcats have won eight games and are the only team to win all games in the preseason.

But as the head coach of the Bobcats, Jordan frowned when he looked at Chen Xiao's statistics in the eight games.

He averaged 30 minutes per game and took 22 shots per game.

The shooting ratio during playing time is somewhat high.

"Chen played very hard in the preseason..."

He wants to create good public opinion about us!

"List……"

He's really trying.
