I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao said in an interview that Bynum is not for sale. Of course Bynum is not really not for sale. This is just to build momentum for Bynum.

At the same time, it is also to stabilize Bynum.

Based on Bynum's current situation, after this game with the Raptors, it can be foreseen that Bynum will have many teams contacting him privately. Although this is an illegal operation in the NBA, it is illegal. So what?

O'Neal went to the Lakers and became an OK legend. Who cares if the Lakers contacted O'Neal in violation of regulations?

When Chen Xiao went to the Cavaliers and Bobcats, many people also felt that the Cavaliers and Bobcats had illegal contact in private. However, have the Cavaliers and Bobcats been sanctioned?

Many times, in the NBA, you really don’t need to abide by some things that are expressly prohibited. Isn’t it just a matter of $25,000?

In the NBA, from the team to the top management to the players and owners, who the hell is still short of the 25,000 "sword"? As long as the players "arrive", it doesn't matter whether they get the knife or not.

In order to keep Bynum from applying for a trade himself, Chen Xiao needs to make a gesture to let the world and Bynum know that he can tolerate the dual-core Bobcats.

Even if it still can't stop Bynum from leaving, at least, Bynum must not follow the rhythm of those teams that are playing dirty tricks. He will not go to any team unless he does it. If this is really the case, Bynum will The transaction value will be greatly reduced.

To be honest, Chen Xiao and Qiao Boss have cooperated with Bynum to increase statistics and acted so well this season, of course they want to make a lot of money.

At the very least, they must make up for what was lost in Randolph, Cannonball and other Bobcat players.

This season Bynum is in the last year of his rookie season. After this season, Bynum can sign a maximum salary, just like Howard of the Spurs last season, which is when his transaction value is greatest.

After this season, he signed a max-salary deal with Bynum. Bynum can get a high-paid All-Star for the Bobcats, and at the same time, he can also get a bunch of draft picks for the Bobcats.

Although trading Bynum in the middle of the season will not bring him instant All-Star ability, in order to prevent the Bobcats from delaying the trade until the end of the season and signing Bynum with a maximum salary, the other party will definitely have to make up for it in draft picks. , otherwise when Bynum signs the maximum salary, the team that wants to get Bynum will probably have to give up half the team.

In short, as long as Bynum is stabilized, all the initiative lies in the hands of the Bobcats.

It has to be said that Boss Qiao's prediction is still very accurate. As a generation of psychological masters among NBA players, Boss Qiao has always been quite a genius in conspiracy.

Before the game between the Bobcats and the Raptors ended, many NBA teams contacted Bynum's agent David Lee.

This David Lee is not the young power forward David Lee of the Timberwolves.

As the agent of the hottest young player in the NBA, David Lee, Chen Xiao and Jordan are all familiar with each other, and their relationship is very good.

This agent David Lee is a rookie agent, but this rookie's greed is not like a rookie at all. Before Bynum took off this season, he was seeking the maximum salary for Bynum last season. .

This rookie agent is not a gas saver.

Therefore, on the second day of the game between the Raptors and Bobcats, David Lee accepted an interview with the American media and said that eight teams had expressed interest in Bynum.

But who are these eight teams? David Lee didn't say a word, but smiled mysteriously.

Subsequently, various media in the United States have speculated through various channels who are the eight teams. Some people say that the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers are the two teams most interested in signing Bynum. Atlanta The Hawks, Indiana Pacers, etc. are also very interested in Bynum.

Even during the Bobcats' away game against the Pacers on November 28, Larry Bird came to the scene in person and kept his eyes on Bynum throughout the game.

It seemed that Bynum was very interested in this game. He made 8 of 11 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, and scored 20 points and 20 rebounds, including 9 offensive rebounds.

In fact, Larry Bird is indeed very interested in Bynum. Bynum's golf intelligence in this game really impressed Bird.

The whole world knows about Bynum's talent. There is no need to question it. He is super strong, otherwise he wouldn't have the nickname "Little Shark".

What has hindered Bynum's progress has always been his golf IQ. Now that Bynum's golf IQ has come to his senses, this 21-year-old young center is becoming more and more coveted.

However, as a person who likes to think, Larry Bird was thinking after watching this game: "Bynum's explosive moves and scores were guided by the Wonder Boy. Or is Bynum getting assists for Wonder Boy?"

In fact, it has always been the same thing as Rashomon, and it is impossible to check whether the guard guides the inside to score, or the inside provides assists for the guard.

It is Larry Bird who has such thinking. Most people actually don't even think about such a problem.

However, despite such thoughts, it did not affect Larry Bird's personal visit to Bynum after the game to congratulate him on his 20+20 career night tonight.

Bynum's rebounding ability is indeed quite strong. As long as he is willing to work hard and has a normal mind, he is indeed very strong. Historically, he got 30 rebounds in a single game in his career against Duncan and the Spurs.

Facing a short center like Gortat of the Pacers, Bynum's performance did not surprise Chen Xiao at all.

If Bynum's talent is not good, it will not attract Chen Xiao to insist that Bynum must be selected in the draft.

Bynum is already one of the most popular players in the NBA. Now that Larry Bird congratulates Bynum without hesitation, it will naturally make people think a lot.

For a while, the Internet was full of news that Larry Bird had taken a fancy to Bynum and asked the Pacers to poach someone from the Bobcats.

In this regard, Bynum's agent David Lee immediately stood up to refute the rumors.

"I can't imagine that if a team wanted to trade for Andrew, it would be stupid enough not to ask if he was willing first. Do you think Mr. Larry is a stupid person? He has never contacted me or me personally. Andrew.”

David Lee did not lie, and Bird did not contact Bynum privately, although many outside media speculated that the eight teams must have Larry Bird.

Larry Bird is still a shameless person. He just received a gift from Jordan this offseason. It would obviously be a bit unethical to poach people secretly like this.

Of course, there is also a purpose for David Lee to stand up and refute the rumors so directly.

Obviously, David Lee does not want Bynum to go to the Pacers.

Let's put it this way, in David Lee's view, my Piggy is the future Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, and Yao Ming. You Pacers are really not worthy of my Piggy.

Therefore, in a subsequent interview, when David Lee talked about various trade rumors about Bynum, David Lee said, "Rumors like the Pacers and the Eagles are not common sense at all. I am not No disrespect to the Pacers or the Eagles, but there's no way such a weird thing could happen."

What David Lee said was not to refute the rumors of the eight teams that contacted them immediately. It was almost confirmation. Since the Pacers and Hawks are not, are the Clippers and Celtics real?

The media is of course very curious about this, and David Lee is also a person who is very good at hype and raising the value of his players. Naturally, he will not say anything this time: "I saw (the list), he (Bynum) ) also saw it, both of us were surprised, because we don’t know where these names came from. I won’t tell you whether they are true or false, and I won’t tell you whether they are or not. The only thing I can do is What I'm telling you is, if it was you, a player like Andrew, would you say no?"

After David Li said this, he smiled mysteriously.

Guys, this means that as long as Bynum enters the market, all teams in the entire league want it.

Faced with David Lee's pretending to be B, the reporters at the scene really couldn't refute it, because with Bynum's performance this season, it really is like this.

For centers whose season PER exceeds 30, even the current number one center in the NBA and Yao Ming, one of the top five centers in NBA history, has never had a PER of 30 in a regular season.

In the history of the NBA, only three centers and interior players, Chamberlain, David Robinson, and O'Neal, have achieved a PER30 in a major season. Even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's highest is only 29.9.

Judging from the current situation of Bynum, his PER this season seems to be quite stable above 30.

Therefore, it is not difficult to tell from the tone of David Lee's interview that David Lee is indeed proud enough now, and he does have the capital to be proud.

However, no matter how proud he is, it is impossible for David Lee to offend Chen Xiao and Jordan at this time. Even people with flawed IQs like Bynum are instinctively afraid of Chen Xiao and Jordan, let alone people like David Lee. People are fine.

When Chen Xiao just expressed his support for the Bobcats' dual-core future, he did not dare to publicly encourage Bynum to leave the Bobcats, although he had always hoped that Bynum could leave and go to a big city.

What agent doesn’t want his players to go to big cities?

Charlotte is still too young.

Of course, even if he had such thoughts, after Chen Xiao's statement, he could only hold it in, at least in public.

So in the end, David Lee said very seriously: "Although so many things have happened recently, I know very well that Andrew has no problems with the team at all. He respects Chen and Michael very much, and Chen and Michael I’m very optimistic about him.”

Even David Lee said, "In my impression, Andrew has never had any negative comments about the Bobcats. He has infinite love for the Bobcats, and has infinite respect and admiration for Chen and Michael."

If Chen Xiao hadn't known that Bynum's love for the Bobcats was "only" 80, with David Lee's Chen Ken appearance, he would have really believed this guy's lies.

Of course, it is impossible for David Lee to refute rumors like this to prevent other NBA teams from contacting them privately.

David Lee and Bynum really don't want to leave. It's very simple. They can just reject everyone privately, but they don't reject anyone privately, especially the invitations from the heavyweight teams. They don't reject any invitations.

This means, in fact, it is obvious that no matter how magnificent you appear, it is all nonsense.

Look at Jordan, that's what he called rejection. Anyone who sent him a fax saying that he wanted to trade Bynum, Jordan not only rejected them all, but also tore up the faxes and hung up the phone without even giving the other party a chance to speak.

Jordan looks like he treats Bynum as his own son, which is touching.

If one day his biological son does something unforgivable to his biological father, and his biological father wants to suffer more losses, is that okay?

After all, you keep saying that you are infinitely loyal to me and my team. If one day I find out that I have been cheated, you can't blame me, right?

In fact, by carrying out this drama to this extent, Jordan can actually close the net. He learned from some channels that the player he valued so much was secretly involved with so many teams. After being greatly shocked, he prepared thunderous measures. .

After all, everyone knows that Boss Qiao is such a willful person, and there is nothing wrong with doing this.

However, what surprised Chen Xiao was that Boss Qiao told him that it was not the time to close the net yet.

"Eight teams are still too few. There could be more fish in the fish pond. Only with competition can there be pressure. Without crowding, who would know the 'money' power of their family?"

Boss Qiao, you are so greedy!

However, Chen Xiao has no objection to Boss Qiao's greed.

Anyway, Boss Joe is doing this behind the scenes. He just needs to take good care of Bynum's performance and data during the game.

After playing the Pacers and returning home, the Bobcats ended all November games after defeating the Celtics on November 29. Throughout November, the Bobcats had a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. Location.

This record even allowed Chen Xiao and Bynum to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award for November at the same time.

In the latest MVP rankings, in addition to Chen Xiao at the top of the list, Bynum also ranked tenth.

Chen Xiao's words that Charlotte is big enough were recognized by David Stern and the league.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao's statement, how could David Stern do something that could split the Bobcats?

For a time, Bynum was in the limelight because of his entry into the MVP rankings and the best of the month, and this month was also called "Pig Crazy" by busy media experts.

Zhuzhu is the nickname given to Bynum by Chinese fans, and now it is exported.

In fact, many NBA players now have Chinese nicknames recognized by the American media, and Bynum is one of them.

And what shocked the national media was that Bynum’s “pig madness” had no end in sight.

Come December, in the 16 games played by the Bobcats, Bynum still averaged astonishing data of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in a single month, leading the Bobcats to a good record of 12 wins and 4 losses. Although this month Bynum didn't have the best of the month.

But his streak of scoring 15 points has reached 32 consecutive games!

Stability is astonishingly terrifying.

At the same time, his official MVP ranking has reached fifth place!

"'Pig Crazy' is so scary!"

Buckley was stunned when he saw all this.

What shocked the entire NBA even more was that on January 1, 2009, Bobcats head coach Michael Jordan suddenly became furious!

"I, Michael Jordan, have been shamelessly betrayed!"
