Chapter 557 You will become a legend!(1/2)
On January 1, 2008, this day was destined to be a day that Charlotte Bobcats fans remembered.
The Bobcats' All-Star point guard and the team's second-in-command Chris Paul was traded by the Charlotte Bobcats to the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference.
After Paul's deal was fully released, Bobcats fans forgot the depression of ending their 10-game winning streak last night.
The issue between Paul and the Bobcats has been publicly made.
No one would think that Xiaopao will stay with the Bobcats this season. It is a matter of time when Xiaopao is traded. This is not a conflict between the two sides, but a different pursuit of the future.
Therefore, the two sides broke up peacefully.
Therefore, the Bobcats fans actually don’t have much sadness. In Xiao Cannon’s farewell speech, the Bobcats fans gave the greatest applause and nostalgia to the local child in North Carolina.
Although Chen Xiao is the sun and the others are stars, it is obvious that no matter what, the biggest star of the Bobcats is still a small cannon.
Therefore, in Xiaopao's farewell speech, Xiaopao received the most cheers in his career, and this cheer made Xiaopao's mood very complicated.
Because he got such coveted applause and cheers when he left, but when he was still there, he did not.
But Xiao Pao quickly adjusted his mood, because in Charlotte, it is impossible for a second person besides Chen Xiao to receive such applause and cheers.
However, compared to the cheers and applause of these Charlotte fans, Xiao Pao now loves the applause of Chen Xiao next to him.
Looking at the good brother next to him who really applauded him, Xiao Pao felt reluctant.
This departure may be a farewell forever.
"List……"
"Chris!"
Before Xiao Pao could speak, Chen Xiao interrupted him, then hugged Xiao Pao and let go.
"My brother, you will be a legend for everyone!"
Legend, I will become a legend for everyone!
When Xiao Cannon heard Chen Xiao’s sincere words, he had many sad words to say to Chen Xiao, but now he only had the courage and ambition to move forward.
In the New Year of 2008, Xiaopao left, leaving with a longing for the future and reluctance to the bobcat Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao felt that Xiao Pao must have had no complaints when he left.
Chen Xiao did not want to complete the task given to him by the system. Whether it was Randolph or Xiaopao, he hoped to give enough respect to his former teammates and former comrades.
Regardless of whether the reason for their departure was selfish or not, they gave everything for him while fighting side by side with him.
They are a great group of teammates.
Without them, Chen Xiao would not think he could achieve such great success in the Bobcat.
Because I had known that Xiao Pao was leaving before, Chen Xiao and the fans of Bobcats actually quickly accepted the reality that Xiao Pao left.
But for the NBA public opinion, they still have some disputes and some quarrels, but they actually can't accept Xiao Cannon's departure.
Instead, as the defending champion, the Bobcats have lost two of their star players before they even reached the All-Star this season.
Although these two star players have exchanged the Bobcats for four future picks, draft picks will never be combat effectiveness.
So the Bobcats are actually only Bathil, Lowry and Livingston.
In addition to Bathil who is a very strong combat power, Lowry and Livingston have limited combat power.
Lowry performed very well with the Grizzlies, and was very impressive in the substitute for Kidd, but in the Bobcats, Lowry, whose attack power is stronger than organizational ability, has not yet performed well.
Let's just say that, the Grizzlies need Lowry's personal attack, and the Bobcats don't.
A defender with a shooting percentage of only 43% and a three-point shooting percentage of only 25% is a crime to make him attack. You know, another substitute point guard, Jack, hits as high as 48% and a three-point shooting percentage of as high as 41%.
So, both as a substitute, Lowry is very marginal.
Of course, Lowry doesn't have any advantages. He has a very active defense, better ability than Jack, and his organization is stronger than Jack. After all, Boss Ki's apprentice still has two tricks.
However, overall, Lowry's existence has limited improvement in the strength of the Bobcat, which should be said to be none. If the Bobcat's strength is 90, Lowry will not make the Bobcat's strength reach 91.
And another new point guard Livingston.
This once-a-long super genius point guard and little magician, after suffering a serious injury to his left knee, is basically recognized as a waste.
In fact, before being injured, Livingston's performance was far inferior to Paul, who was one pick higher than him.
You know, Paul was far below his evaluation in the first draft.
Livingston's career has also become a contour to Jordan's vision.
At the beginning, many people thought that Jordan should have chosen Livingston in the fourth pick.
Livingston is an Illinoisian and is half a fellow Jordan. The first high school student in NBA history was really popular at the time.
But in the end, Jordan chose Xiao Cannon and gave up the strongest point guard Livingston of that class.
Jordan's choice was ridiculed at that time, but now everyone feels how great it is to Jordan choose Paul with the fourth pick in 2004.
Four years have passed, and the Bobcats' No. 4 draw was replaced by three high picks in the first round with Galivingston and a championship.
This is worth it.
Livingston is used to match salary in the Bobcats and Clippers deal.
Even the media experts who are now hyping Paul's deal on the Bobcat deal do not think Livingston can do anything with the Bobcats.
Even Tilly wouldn't be Tillyvingston at all.
After Livingston came to the Bobcats, he was also very low-key and was basically practicing shooting alone.
When Livingston first entered the league, his shooting percentage was 41%. Before being injured last season, his shooting percentage was more than 46%, especially his shooting percentage at mid-range, as high as 46%. Even his shooting percentage at mid-range was as high as 47% the previous season.
It can be seen that he has a talent for shooting.
However, his injury has not yet been cured and he has been basically reimbursed this season.
So he usually wears protective boots on the team or practices shooting in a wheelchair.
In this case, Lowry doesn't need to be used, Livingston can't, which means that the two star players of the Bobcats are exchanged for one Bathirl.
It would be strange if those media experts who like to make trouble don’t criticize such a deal.
In fact, Boss Qiao has been criticized again recently.
However, compared with the media experts who said that the Bobcats seemed to be disbanded, the Bobcats are actually quite united now.
Everyone's atmosphere was also very good.
Xiao Cannon's departure can basically announce that the Bobcats have bid farewell to the championship this season.
This instantly puts the pressure on the Bobcats players to defend the champion from the largest to the smallest.
Is this season a success for the Bobcats?
Of course not. As the defending champion, this has long lost the possibility of competing for the championship, and this is a very failure.
But you have to say that the problems that occurred after the Bobcats won the championship disappeared with the failure of the season.
The bobcats now have basically lost all their burdens and have been lightly put into battle again.
This is not a good thing for the bobcats. After all, they have Chen Xiao, and their boss can definitely take them to the top again!
Because they are the bosses who do such things.
And they believe that when they stand at the top again, they will never be kicked down so easily or walk down by themselves. Next time, they will rely on their true strength instead of luck to reach the peak.
Therefore, it is completely different from the ones who think that the bobcats have collapsed. The bobcats nowadays are actually quite fighting spirit.
In fact, the Bobcats players were quite concerned about Chen Xiao's mood at this time.
To be honest, competing for championships is no longer hopeless to have little impact on players like them who already have championships. The key is Chen Xiao.
As the team's leading player and among the top ten players in NBA history, will the team's failure this season make Chen Xiao uncomfortable and will it make Chen Xiao unhappy?
If Chen Xiao is unhappy, can they be happy?
Stop kidding.
In the NBA, no one else can be happy if the boss of any team is unhappy.
But what surprised the Bobcats players was that as the boss of the team, Chen Xiao was in a normal mood now, and they did not see any frustration and discomfort caused by failure this season in Chen Xiao's face.
even……
When facing Livingston, the team's most useless player, now, Chen Xiao always had a smile on his face.
"Shawn, you have an injury to your knee now. It is not advisable to gain weight or increase confrontation for the time being. It will put additional pressure on your knees. Just practice shooting. Your feel is very soft and very good."
Looking at Chen Xiao who was afraid of leaving her shoulder while smiling, Livingston was shocked.
Chen Xiao would actually talk to himself, a useless man, with a smile, so calmly.
Shouldn’t he spread the resentment of Paul’s departure to himself?
When Livingston came to the Bobcats, he was actually ready to be bullied for half a season.
So he was so low-key after coming to the team.
Because he thinks that no one on the Bobcats players like him.
