NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 230 Preview of the best lineup

After a small victory over the Heat, the Bobcats players did not bother to celebrate their sweep of the defending champions and rushed to Brooklyn without stopping to face the Nets at the Barclays Center with all their staff and "four huge salaries".

Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Reggie Evans, Brook Lopez.

The Nets formed a luxurious lineup during the offseason. At the end of the season, the Russian boss, who was originally spending a lot of money, expected that the team's location, arena, and personnel would all take on a new look, and the team's record should also skyrocket.

However, the Nets, currently 43 wins and 32 losses, are only slightly ahead of the Chicago Bulls and ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. Before the start of the season, the owner retained Deron and exchanged for singles Joe. Saying it’s going to be a great season” is a bit of a mismatch.

After all, if you can't even touch the top half, how can you talk about a great season.

The Heat, Bobcats, and the Knicks and Pacers, whose records have formed an anxious confrontation, constitute the four teams in the upper half of the Eastern Conference. The Knicks and Pacers, who have won around 48 games, almost make the Nets unable to think of catching up.

However, they had just lost to the Bulls in the spot game two days ago, and the Nets, whose lead had been reduced, hoped to give the Bobcats a head-on blow in the main city.

……

Facing Da Luo, who was a little slow but had plenty of weight and strength, and no physical worries, Chen Xiao struggled with his opening performance.

From getting off the special plane to the Barclays Arena to the start of the game, there is only less than 10 hours, and there is even less rest time, and I can almost only take a nap on the plane.

Although the conditions of the team's private plane are much better than those of civil aviation, it is not that a "giant" like Chen Xiao can't stretch his legs. However, Chen Xiao, who had just played 40 minutes in the previous game and carried the team on his shoulders, felt as if his body was hanging. When I got on the scale, my steps were a little heavy.

"Boom"

Chen Xiao took the ball in the low post, faced Daluo, encouraged himself by hitting the back, half-turned toward the baseline and shot a sky hook. His power was a little lacking, his confrontation was a little tired, his turning movements were a little slower, and when combined bit by bit, it was basketball. It flew around the center of the basket.

There were 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and he had played for almost 9 minutes. He made 5 of 2 shots and 2 of 1 free throws. Chen Xiao came off the field with mediocre data of 5 points and 3 rebounds. He sat on his throne, took two sips of his small drink, and looked in his eyes. Still locked in the anxious competition situation.

However, at this moment, the score displayed on the mid-empty polyhedron screen of the Barclays Center was 21:19 for the home and away teams. The Bobcats from south to north were currently 2 points behind.

"Good shot!" Chen Xiao wiped his sweat without looking away from the court. Henderson hit a mid-range shot against Elvis Wallace to tie the score.

Deron of the Nets on the outside and Marshon Brooks, who had not yet come to the CBA to kill everyone, hit three-pointers one after another.

Walker broke through and found Josh Roberts, who hit a two-pointer. Henderson, who found the feeling, faced Bogans again in the mid-range after Wallace came off the court.

At 25:21, the Bobcats suddenly took the lead.

"Look, Chen is waving a towel on the sidelines. This big man is delighted with the outstanding performance of his teammates. It is in sharp contrast to yesterday's battle alone. In the first quarter, which lasted for more than 10 minutes, he scored 6 points on 4 of 9 shots. Henderson allowed Chen Xiao to take a rest at the normal time." The commentator on the CBS channel, which only covers the east coast today, captured Chen Xiao on the sidelines and joked.

However, after Chen Xiao came off the court, the mountain in front of the Bobcats basket was removed. In the last minute and a half, the Nets players worked hard to break through in front of the folks in Brooklyn.

The whistles sounded continuously. It seemed that today's referee also gave the Nets some face. Fatty made 2 free throws and Evans made 4 of 2 free throws. The Nets responded with a wave of 6:0 and took the lead.

Chen Xiao, who was excited and cheering loudly for the Heng team's display from the sidelines, watched Mu Zi, who came on as a substitute in the last two minutes, scored two points, walked to the free throw line and made two free throws, swallowed a gulp of saliva, and calmed down. one time.

When it comes to stability, it has to be you, Byron~~ Mullens! ! .

Walker, who scored 4 consecutive points in the opening game, made a mistake and Marshon Brooks completed the steal. Then, in the Nets' little surprise this season, substitute center Blatch received an assist from the defender and scored two points.

Looking at Brac who came on as a substitute and was active, Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. Brac, who was wearing a headband and had a "black and tough" look, looked exactly like Haywood, the veteran signed by the Bobcats this season. Carved out of a mold.

However, the current attendance rate is astonishing. Brac, who has not been vacant for a game, is able to contribute 20+10+5+1 as a substitute center in less than 1 minutes per game. No one knows whether he is stupid or not, but he does have a lot of money. The Russian owner will definitely feel that the small million dollars paid to Blac is well worth the money. This may be the most cost-effective signing for the Nets this season.

At 29:25, the Nets left the field with the lead.

In the second quarter, after taking a break off the court, I saw that the low-paid and high-powered Blatche was feeling hot. He had everything to eat and drink inside the Bobcats, scoring 8 points in a row. The Bobcats were not allowed to have such a fierce opponent under the basket. Chen Xiao couldn't hold back. Ready to go on the court and control the situation, regardless of the offensive end, Chen Xiao can pose a sufficient threat to the inside attack near the basket.

After taking the field, Chen Xiao suddenly realized what kind of day it was. There were no magpies squawking outside when he got off the plane in the morning.

Pago, the substitute guard who replaced Sessions, hit a three-pointer. Then Gordon suddenly exerted his strength and hit a three-pointer. He dribbled the ball non-stop to attack the basket. He changed his hometown and was registered in Houston and won consecutive whistles. Going to the free throw line, 4 of 3 free throws were slightly unsatisfactory, but the two men worked together so that Chen Xiao, Henderson and other main players could only sit back and watch.

I thought this was the end, but in the second half it looked like they were going to end the game. The two of them worked hard again. Pago added another 5 points with consecutive free throws. Gordon made consecutive three-pointers. The Bobcats, who were on the offensive, matched up with Chen. After Xiao's physical strength recovered, he jumped up again and gave Da Luo a blood cap.

半场结束，60：51，单节轰下35分的山猫一节时间净胜对手13分，将分差落后4分一举扭转至领先9分。

The first half was spent fighting, and there was no need to fight close to each other all the time on the court. After half-time recovery, Chen Xiao had already regained his form.

On the offensive end, his touch was average, but his constant work at the basket always led to a gradual increase in the Bobcats' points. On the defensive end, Daluo made up for and made saves, and his shooting percentage was only 4%, which became Chen Xiao's inner deterrent and internal defense ability. reflect.

Under the luxurious lights of the Barclays Center and with the cheers of more than 1 Nets fans in the audience, Deron Williams scored 7 points at halftime, creating damage from three-pointers, mid-range, and breakthroughs. All.

However, the 9-point deficit in the first half and Chen Xiao who started to exert his strength made the Nets' pursuit of points ultimately come to an end.

109:101, the Bobcats won back-to-back victories, adding some variables to the tense back-and-forth battle between the Nets, Bulls, and Hawks.After winning the victory, the Bobcats team did not stay in the bustling New York, but immediately returned to Charlotte.

"Tim Duncan is still going strong, with 31 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. He led the team to defeat the Hawks with 2 points and returned to the top spot in the Western Conference." On the way back, the game results immediately released on the Internet attracted Chen Xiao's attention.

Facing Los Angeles today, Chen Xiao, who was in mediocre form with only 25 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, was surrounded by Old Deng. Tim Duncan, who is currently averaging close to 18+10 per game this season, has rejuvenated and his scoring and rebounds have improved. Not to mention, there were less than 1.5 blocks last season, which jumped to 2.7 this season.

After studying the reports, Chen Xiao found evidence of his influence beyond the basic statistics from the numerous praises for Lao Deng. So far, his rebound rate has exceeded 19%, and he can also rank among the top in his long career that has always been at the top. Top.

The block rate exceeds 6%, which is a career high. Even in 02-05, which had the best blocking data, in the three seasons, the block rate in a single season has never been close to 6%.

The defensive efficiency is 95, and he can only score 95 points in [-] rounds of suppressing opponents. Such data performance, which he has achieved throughout his entire legendary career, makes Tim Duncan highly praised by the outside world and believes that he can definitely return to the Double Best Team. .

Good basic statistics, close to 18+10+3, leading the team to first place in the Western Conference. No matter whether they can maintain it in the end, they have no chance of running into the top two in the Western Conference.

Excellent number of blocks, excellent defensive efficiency, and excellent defensive performance on the field.

For the first time in his career since the 09-10 season, he only made the third team of the All-NBA Team. Duncan, who was considered to be getting older in the new decade, was ready to start the journey with the Spurs after losing to the young players last year.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Xiao was idle. Old Deng's plain but effective 45-degree wiper flashed in his mind. Mi Dou, who looked over from the side, asked curiously.

After a few glances, Middleton sighed. As a die-hard Kobe fan, he was very familiar with Duncan, who led the Spurs and Lakers to compete in the Western Conference throughout Kobe's career and formed the eternal memory of NBA fans at the end of the century: "Poor Tim, originally. This season, there is a chance that we can win the double team again after 07."

Mi Dou said, counting, 99, 0007, seven times, "The eighth double formation, it's a pity, it's a pity, I met a pervert like you."

"Fuck you." Chen Xiao scolded with a smile, and his thoughts were led by Mi Dou to the conclusion of the entire regular season that will be officially announced in a month as the season comes to an end.

Speaking of the best team of the season, unlike this year's All-Star starting selection mechanism that was just restructured and eliminated the center position, from the best first team to the third team, the selection of the lineup that symbolizes the league's top players still leaves three positions for the center.

It's not generally recognized at the moment. As the only post player in the league to win the best of the month, Chen Xiao is definitely one of the best post players in the league. Regardless of qualifications, only considering combat ability, he is well-deserved to be the league's number one center. .

In recent years, Duncan, who has mostly participated in the All-Star selection at the center position, Gasol, who is known for his defense, and Howard, who is as skinny as a camel than a horse, are all strong contenders for the best lineup.

As for Al Jefferson, who is leading the team to fight for a playoff spot, Joakim Noah, who is one of the core members to carry the Bulls who lost the Rose, Luo Luo of the Nets, and the boxing champion of the Knicks, they are all still there. It is relatively difficult to pose a sufficient threat to the above-mentioned people.

A simple comparison between these three people and Chen Xiao.

Master Huo's statistics and performance were all surrounded, and he was directly OUT.

The Grizzlies have a good record, but not better than the Bobcats, and they pay more attention to the defensive end. The data is 14+8. Although he has 4 assists, which shows his good organizational and support capabilities, it is still a little bit inferior. Let's fight for a third team. .

That is to say, he is getting stronger and stronger, his personal data is acceptable, and Duncan, who leads the Western Conference No. [-] team, can compete with Chen Xiao in the selection of the best team.

场均27.8分15个篮板3.6记盖帽和稍稍体面些的18+10+3，陈逍在数据上对邓肯形成降维打击，更看球员个人表现的最佳阵容评选上，陈逍可能已经赢得太多了。

"For the best team, Tim can only compete for the second team, but thinking about it, compared to Marc Gasol's better basic data and better leadership performance, Duncan should not have a big problem with the second team." For Duncan After sighing, Mi Dou analyzed it carefully.

"Look at this." Mi Dou flipped through his phone and found an interface.

It is clearly stated above:
First-team center: Chen Xiao (92%)

Second team center: Tim Duncan (73%)

Third-team center: Marc Gasol (59%)

Towards the end of the season, in the preemptive prediction of the best team with thousands of fans participating on Reddit, Chen Xiao topped the list with an absolute advantage. Chen Xiao and Duncan were almost recognized as candidates for the first and second teams.

That is to say, the third team is still slightly controversial. Marc Gasol's advantage is not obvious enough compared to Howard, whose strength and popularity are still there and are dragged down by the team's record.

Compared with the overall clear best lineup, the best defensive lineup with only two lineups seems confusing.

Marc Gasol, who will take the Grizzlies' defense in the Wild West to a higher level with Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, last season's DPOY, and boxing champion Chandler, who has made a significant contribution to the Knicks' rapid improvement this season. Le, similar to Gasol, helps the team with defense and organization, but Joakim Noah, who is more passionate, perhaps Noah, who is extremely passionate on the court, will be more favored by the judges.

And Chen Xiao, who currently dominates the list with 15 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game except steals, has 12.5 rebounds and 3 blocks. This is Howard who ranks second in rebounds and blocks. Ranked second in Ibaka's per-game average, Chen Xiao has already locked up the rebounding and block titles this season.

Just looking at the basic data on the defensive end, Chen Xiao is naturally a strong contender for the best defensive player and best defensive team.

Of course, the data can also be brushed. Having more rebounds and blocks does not mean that the defense is good, but even if it is brushed, if he can really brush up so many rebounds and so many blocks at the same time, dominating both rankings, then this player is worthy of one A spot on the All-Defensive Team, not to mention the other hard goods Chen Xiao has.

There are several strong contenders for the center position, and the competition for the center position of this year's All-Defensive Team is fierce.

This does not include Tim Duncan, who can also apply for the center position.
