I’m Really Playing Basketball

After playing the Magic away from home on January 5, the Bobcats improved their record to 25 wins and 7 losses, and their current record is still ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat, the first in the Eastern Conference, currently have a record of 28 wins and 3 losses, the Nets, second in the Eastern Conference, have a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, and the Magic, third in the Eastern Conference, have a record of 25 wins and 6 losses.

From the current point of view, except for the first-place Heat team, which is slightly higher, the record competition of the other three teams is still very fierce.

In such a strong environment in the Eastern Conference this season, the Heat's record is simply incredible.

Two superstars, and a team that has found the best way to play at the same time, is really different.

After defeating the Magic in a sudden attack on the road, the Bobcats returned to their home court and entered the salty stage.

Because the Bobcats' next game is against the Pistons on January 10th.

From January 1st to January 10th, the Bobcats played three games in 10 days. It was so hard some time ago, and now it is so free. This schedule really makes people feel helpless to complain.

After all, there are enough people complaining about the NBA schedule.

In fact, during such a free schedule, Bobcats players are not really on vacation.

Even Chen Xiao, who is full of gossip and news recently, has actually been cooperating with Jordan to play tactics and run in with his teammates recently.

This season, the Bobcats changed their style of play and no longer relied on Chen Xiao's style of play. Under such circumstances, they really needed to adjust.

Because of the roles assigned by Chen Xiao, every player has to work hard to do well. They are not just role players next to Chen Xiao this season.

They also need to have a sense of ownership of the team.

Therefore, the three coaches of the team, Jordan, Kerr and Curry all want to try their own tactical thinking and style of play on the Bobcats.

Among them, Cole is particularly enthusiastic.

He was quite obsessed with the Bucks' five-small tactics last season. It is quite a pity that the Bucks are unable to use the five-small tactics this season due to major changes in the team.

Therefore, he has been thinking about using the Bucks' five players in the Bobcats.

But, the five minors of the Bucks are so easy to get.

There is no one suitable for the entire Bobcat.

Compared with Ray Allen, the little cannon is too sticky, no!

Compared with Iguodala, Granger is not comprehensive enough, no!

Even Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao must be suitable for Reed's role in the second position.

But, how could Chen Xiao play a supporting role?

Therefore, Chen Xiao must play the center forward when he plays the fifth junior.

But as for the problem, when Chen Xiao plays Braxson's position in the fifth primary school, defense needs to be priority, offense second. Although Chen Xiao is the core of the tactics, he will suffer in terms of statistics.

After all, all the energy is put on the defensive end, and the offensive energy is less.

When the Fifth Primary School was raging in the past, many people believed that Lao Zhan replaced Green as a comprehensive upgrade. In fact, Green can play the role of the Fifth Primary School, but Lao Zhan is definitely not willing to do it.

Although Lao Zhan has many personal offensive problems, it is absolutely impossible for him to take more than 10 shots in a game like Green. Most of his energy is focused on the defensive end, supporting people, assisting defense, delaying, and picking and rolling for teammates. , Cover, Lao Zhan can do these things, but he definitely doesn't want to do them for the entire game.

Therefore, Lao Zhan shifted Green to play the fifth junior, and in the end it was not a comprehensive upgrade, but a complete collapse.

Lao Zhan is versatile, but when it comes to defense, he can't be as active as Green.

As for the offense, it is not as all-round and blind as Adu. The key is to stick to the ball. In Lao Zhan's team, his teammates are all role players.

Therefore, in fact, if you really want to play in the fifth primary, Green and Durant are suitable. Of these two, Lao Zhan cannot replace either one.

Of course, if Lao Zhan and Curry partner up, there will definitely be other ways of playing, and it will definitely not be the style of the top five. This is for sure.

Lao Zhan's team needs a big man to protect the frame.

After Cole tried out with the Bobcats for five years, he discovered that Chen Xiao also had such a problem.

so awkward.

It seems that the Bobcats have all the players from the five small teams, but the roles are misplaced and they don't match up well.

So much so that Cole once again thought of Webber of the Pacers whom he longed for.

The Bobcats have wanted to trade Webber before.

But what a fine person Larry Bird is.

Webb did not play well when he came to the Pacers, and his data shrank by half from last season.

The value has almost disappeared, but what?

Since the player you, Master Jordan, value, he must still be valuable, so I want the Bobcats to trade him for him.

Jordan is indeed willing to trade, but the Bobcats really don't have a big contract to trade for Webber's nearly 20 million contract!

This operation was really difficult for Jordan.

And Larry Bird did deliberately embarrass Jordan.

You, Jordan, are the chosen one for the position of general manager. You can gain air every second. Before you debuted, I was the best in the trinity of head coach, player, and general manager. Now you are not only the best in trinity, but also the boss. , that is the four-in-one.

He was shot countless times because of Jordan's innocence.

Since your ability is unparalleled, I will test you.

In your Bobcats team, only Chen Xiao and Randolph have big contracts of more than 10 million, and most of the others are rookies in their first or second year. Try exchanging them for Webber, who is worth 20 million.

The question raised by Larry Bird basically asked Jordan to figure out why 1+1 equals 2 instead of 3.

This is an unanswerable answer for Jordan.

In addition to cheating, he got Webber and needed to send away most of the young people on the team.

This is naturally impossible.

So the deal with Weber has been delayed like this.

In fact, most teams respect a reputable former superstar like Webber.

Even if it is not needed, it will not set up obstacles in their pursuit of the championship.

In fact, in history, Webb was bought out by the 76ers at this point in time.

Jordan and the Bobcats certainly hope that Larry Bird and Webber can reach a buyout agreement.

However, the Pacers' opinions must still be respected on this matter.

The Pacers still have a two-year, 37 million contract with Webber. If Webber is bought out, Webber will also have to pay negative wages in the next two years.

In other words, the Bobcats prostituted Webber for free, and the Pacers paid the salary. Webber really won the championship with the Bobcats. I act as a good person, and you get all the benefits?

Even if Webb played well in the Bobcats, fans and experts would backhand and say that you, Jordan, are good at employing people and have great talent, while I, Larry Bird, am just blind?

Who can bear this!

Originally, if other teams wanted Webber, he would have bought it out to give Webber respect and face.

But since it's you Jordan, it's time to test your ability.

In short, Boss Joe was stumped, so Webber is still with the Pacers.

To be honest, Webb is still with the Pacers, and Bird is under a lot of pressure.

The team is going to explode.

Webb's current position with the Pacers is very embarrassing.

His NBA status is too high to allow him to sit on the bench.

But when he comes on the court, his status is so high and his abilities are so great, you can't ignore him.

Don't ignore him, give him a player and status, he's playing terrible.

Averaged 30 minutes per game, shot 38.5% from the field, and averaged 10 points per game. This person is Webber. Do you believe it?

Therefore, all fools can see that Webb does not want to play in the Pacers.

The Pacers players were embarrassed to see him, and he was embarrassed to see the Pacers players.

For him who can no longer sign a contract with an NBA team, he has wanted a championship in the past two years. Can the Pacers give him a championship?

Of course not.

He really has no fighting spirit in the Pacers. Of course, from the Pacers' perspective, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have professional qualities.

However, don't you think it's cruel to expect these things from a 33-year-old veteran who has just suffered major injuries and betrayal in his career?

Weber is not one of those energetic male protagonists in Japanese comics. I have been tortured thousands of times by others, and he always smiles on his face, but he always moans heartlessly in his heart.

Everyone has feelings.

Therefore, he wants to use his remaining fuel to fight for the chance to win the championship. There is no problem with this.

The Bobcats had a busy schedule before, and Jordan was too troubled by Larry Bird's problem to deal with Webber's matter.

However, now that the Bobcats are free, Jordan finally has the opportunity to deal with the problems of Webber and the Pacers.

Webber wants to leave, but the Pacers players don't want Webber. Larry Bird is now forcing Webber to stay, which is actually not very good for everyone.

The reason why Larry Bird kept Webb was because he wanted to see Jordan's attitude.

If you are more sincere, I won’t make it difficult for you, so it depends on what you want. If you can’t make it, I won’t buy it out even if I kill Weber in the Pacers.

Larry Bird really has such a status.

Facing Bird, a thorn like Webb didn't dare to make a mistake. At most, he could only work hard and didn't dare to really mess around in the team.

Therefore, on the night after playing the Magic on January 5, Chen Xiao and the others returned to Charlotte, while Jordan flew directly to Indianapolis.

"Is Michael going to worship the mountain? Is it too difficult for Michael?"

Regarding Chen Xiao's concerns, Jordan's former teammate Cole said with a smile: "Michael Baili Bird never feels wronged."

"..."

Chen Xiao was surprised.

However, if you understand the past between Jordan and Bird, and the reason why Jordan is so obsessed with Bird, you will know.

Jordan never defeated Larry Bird in a single playoff game...

Yes, twice encountered, twice swept.

Boss Joe was also quite miserable. He was bullied by the Celtics led by Larry Bird twice before the playoffs, and then he was bullied by the Pistons led by the Assassins for three years, and finally reached the finals. It was Magic who was the top three player in the NBA at that time.

It can only be said that fortunately something happened to Magic and the Lakers have reached the end of their glory days.

Otherwise, according to Jordan's calculation, Bird will be in two years, the Assassins will be in three years, and Magic will be in four more years. That would really make me cry.

Among the top three NBA players back then, why did Jordan respect Bird and Magic, but was so special to the Assassins?

That's why.

Jordan never beat Larry Bird in the playoffs.

Jordan defeated Magic who was not at his peak in the playoffs, and even if Magic was not at his peak, he and Pippen were forced to go all out.

Only the Assassins, Jordan crossed over when the Assassins were at their peak.

In fact, the assassin is no longer at his peak.

Jordan gave all his respect to the Pistons to Pistons head coach Chuck Daly.

Of course, some things about assassins are really not so loving, so it's normal.

It seems that the Bobcats players are in the team's two assistant coaches with an experimental lineup. Jordan is in Indianapolis at this time and Larry Bird is reminiscing, drinking tea, and chatting.

As for how the two of them chatted?

What Chen Xiao and the others read from the newspaper was pretty good.

The two are always talking and laughing when they appear together.

Even the news said that Jordan hopes that Larry Bird can come back as a coach.

As for the matter of Weber, there was no mention in the news.

It can only be said that Larry Bird and Jordan's sense of secrecy is still pretty good.

Of course, Weber also had a strong sense of confidentiality.

After all, Jordan went to Larry Bird and hoped that Larry Bird would buy out Webber's contract. It was impossible not to discuss with Weber.

Otherwise, Jordan worked hard to facilitate this matter, and in the end Weber went to another NBA team. Isn't this uncomfortable?

Therefore, before convincing Larry Bird, Jordan actually wanted to convince Webber first.

And the difficulty of convincing Weber is no less than persuading Larry Bird.

Webber hopes that Larry Bird will directly buy out his contract, and he can go anywhere.

As for going to the Bobcats, the Nets, or the Magic, the Suns, the Raptors, or the Heat, it all depends on his own ideas.

After all, he only has the last two years left, and he hopes to win a championship that he has pursued for his entire career.

After all, for this championship, he almost ruined himself.

"I know that there are some teams in the NBA that seem to be closer to the championship than us, but Chris, I think you should believe us. I am the most successful person in the NBA, and Chen is also one of the most successful people in the NBA. We all know how to be successful, and I believe that, as a successful person, you should know how important the people are in a team that wants to be successful."

What Jordan said with a smile made Weber stunned for a moment.

"Similarly as a successful person..."

Webber was surprised that as time went by, more and more people began to forget the injustice they encountered when they were against OK.

Therefore, they are increasingly seen as representatives of the underdogs.

There are also more and more experts pointing out that their basketball is impossible to bring success.

But now, Jordan said...

"Chris, on other teams, you might be closer to a championship, but you can't play the basketball you want. All you get is a championship, but you can't prove anything."

"But in the Bobcats, you can not only win the championship with us, but you can also prove many things. In our success, you will not be just a name, and what you will get will not be just a ring. "

Chen Xiao and the others don't know how Jordan is doing in Indianapolis these days, but on January 9, the Pacers announced that they had reached a buyout agreement with Webber.

At the same time, many rumors in the NBA have revealed that Webber is ready to sign with the Bobcats.

Yes, Weber is ready to sign with the Bobcats.

Because Webber came back with Jordan...
