By the way, since O'Neal got out, Nets fans should feel as happy as they are now.

O'Neal's escape and F7's disbandment took away not only the Knicks fans from New York, but also the Nets' management's ambition to go to New York.

After F7 was disbanded, Nets' boss Katz sold the Nets.

As a media tycoon, Katz sold the Nets at a high price, which is basically equivalent to giving up the efforts to move the Nets to New York.

No matter what the Nets will be like in the future, at least, the Nets are safe now. The Nets are still the New Jersey Nets. At this point, New Jersey fans are of course happy and grateful.

The person I am grateful for is of course Chen Xiao, who defended the Nets and protected them last season.

As Chen Xiao imagined, in this away game between the Cavaliers and the Nets, Chen Xiao was warmly welcomed by Nets fans when he came to the Continental Aviation Stadium, the home court of the New Jersey Nets.

How enthusiastic is it?

Let’s just say that when Chen Xiao came out, the Nets’ live fans gave Chen Xiao all their enthusiasm.

So much so that the Nets players coming out later had few calls.

Because, when these Nets players came out, the Nets fans at the scene were still shouting Chen Xiao's name.

This made Nets players a little embarrassed.

To be honest, the story of Chen Xiao and the Nets is now one of the most familiar stories of repaying kindness and guarding in the NBA. It is said that NBA players are familiar with each other and there is no problem at all.

So Nets players, even new players like Marion and Joe Johnson, know about them.

But knowing is knowing and understanding is understanding, they can understand the relationship between Nets fans and Chen Xiao.

But, accept it, it is definitely not acceptable.

Even Marion had a very good relationship with Chen Xiao, he couldn't accept it.

When I was at home, the fans were calling Chen Xiao’s name when I came out. What’s the matter?

If you say that our Nets performed poorly this season, it would be fine. The Nets performed very well this season. Although they were not as good as the Cavaliers' 15 wins and 2 losses, they were also very outstanding with 12 wins and 5 losses.

It is said to be ranked fourth, but the second Magic and third Heat are actually only two and one win away.

However, although the Nets have performed very well this season, they came out from a team that was almost beaten into ruins by Chen Xiao.

But their results this season are indeed not that good in front of Chen Xiao.

This season, Chen Xiao is in the Cavaliers, and that is really at its peak.

Not only is his own data excellent, but the team's record is also ranked first in the league.

Now in the league's regular season MVP rankings, Chen Xiao and James are tied for the first place.

Although he is tied for the first place, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Xiao is the real first place.

The strongest player in the Cavaliers is Chen Xiao.

Of course, James' data is really beautiful.

27+7+10, infinitely close to 27+8+11, NBA has not seen such a level of nearly 30+ per game in many years.

In short, even if the Nets players have any objection to being occupied by Chen Xiao on their own territory, they can only hold on.

However, because everyone is good friends, it is time to say hello.

After Martin and Richard Jefferson came out of the player channel, they did not quiver with their teammates, and went directly to Chen Xiao to worship the dock.

To be honest, these two people are really grateful to Chen Xiao.

If Chen Xiao hadn't beat O'Neal away, then he would have been the one who ran away.

Even Martin has heard inside information about the team. In order to keep O'Neal, Nets general manager Rod Thorne advised O'Neal to stay, and was ready to send him to the Nuggets and Richard Jefferson to the New York Knicks.

The player the New York Knicks wanted at the beginning was not Crawford of the Cavaliers, but Richard Jefferson.

It was just because O'Neal insisted on leaving that the Nets finally left Richard Jefferson, and the Knicks turned to pursuing Crawford.

To be honest, who would want to leave as a meritorious player of the Nets who could stay near heaven like New Jersey?

If you can get a big contract here and play your career, you can retire the jersey immediately. You have money, reputation, and support from fans. You are still so close to heaven. Just say that, for Martin and Richard Jefferson, you can't drive them away.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Xiao is their benefactor in their careers.

It was originally a brother, but now I am grateful. It is conceivable that Martin Ge and Richard Jefferson have such a good attitude towards Chen Xiao.

Moreover, if you have a good attitude towards Chen Xiao, only Nets fans will love you more.

What is love for the house and the womb?

This is called love for the house and the Ugly!

Martin, Richard Jefferson, Marion...

After Chen Xiao said hello to his acquaintances at the Nets one by one, a very special person also came over to say hello to Chen Xiao.

Nets general manager Rod Thorne...

"Chan, what you do in Cleveland is extraordinary perfection."

"Thanks."

After hugging Chen Xiao, Rodthorne couldn't help but sigh at Chen Xiao: "After you leave the Nets, the Nets can no longer be like in the past. We can never find any player who can replace your role in the team. Maybe the Nets that people miss are the most important wealth."

“…”

"Chan, you have an outstanding heart. You always give your all on the court and never stop. You and Kidd are very awesome. Although it is the second year to lose you, I regret it now, very much!"

“…”

To be honest, as Rod Thorne, who selected Jordan as the first vice president of David Stern for 14 years, his position in the NBA is comparable to Jerry West, and in a sense even has a status above Jerry West.

For such people, they regard dignity as more important than anything else.

For such people, it is very difficult to make them admit their mistakes.

For such people, even if they regret it, they cannot express such regrets directly.

But now, Rodthorne actually told Chen Xiao all his regrets in front of him.

To be honest, Chen Xiao was still very surprised.

"Xiao Chen, what did that old guy say to you just now?"

Seeing Chen Xiao still thinking after Rodthorne left, Xiao Zhan came over and asked with concern.

“He said he regretted it.”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Zhan was also surprised.

Obviously, James also knows what Rhodesun's status in the NBA is.

The first person under David Stern, this is no joke.

Below one person, above ten thousand people.

but……

"It's useless to regret now, you're ours now."

"Yes, regret is useless."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded with a smile.

To be honest, he was really thinking just now that if he and Gigo did not leave, if he and Gigo, Boozer, Martin, Jefferson, Buego, Kiddles and others were still at the Nets, then what a brilliant look would the Nets look like now?

Perhaps Rodthorne was thinking about such a scene day and night, so he regretted it so much that he came to Chen Xiao and said it directly.

Perhaps this is also the scene that Nets fans are thinking about day and night, so they are so unforgettable to Chen Xiao and Kidd. Even O'Neal, Carter, and even F7 are not as good as the Nets in their hearts that keep bringing them victory and surprises.

Chen Xiao thought about this picture just now.

But soon, Chen Xiao came out of this picture.

Beautiful, that is really beautiful.

But that's over.

And the reality now is...

Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Zhan next to him, and then looked at Chandler, Xiao Mo, Koval, Barnes, Dior, Diop and other players in front of the Cavaliers' bench.

He and the Nets have already had a brand new career and the future of the team.

Everything in the past may only be used for nostalgia.

Rodthorne's regretful words just now surprised Chen Xiao, but it did not affect Chen Xiao's emotions.

After the Continental Aviation Arena, the Cavaliers and Nets players warmed up, the players of the two teams had already stood on the court.

Al Jefferson, Raheem, James, Chen Xiao, and Mo Williams.

Martin, Richard Jefferson, Marion, Carter, Joe Johnson.

Because this game is the fourth game of the Cavaliers in five days, the Cavaliers rotated and replaced players in this game.

In this game, the Cavaliers' young center Al Jefferson replaced Chandler who played 40 minutes in the last game against the Raptors.

In fact, with Chandler's body, there is certainly no problem in this game.
