The Bobcats, which lacked Chen Xiao in the new season, encountered some difficulties at the beginning of the season.

Chen Xiao is the absolute core and boss of the Bobcats in the past seven seasons. If a team lacks such a player, it will be a huge damage from both the tactical level and the spiritual level of the team.

On the technical and tactical level, the Bobcats with Chen Xiao as the core have a versatile tactical style, because Chen Xiao can really play from No. 1 to No. 5, so Barkley said that even Jordan is a coach rookie who doesn’t know any tactical system. With Chen Xiao, he has five very strong tactical systems and styles.

Now without Chen Xiao, if Jordan sets Rose as the team's tactical core, then the Bobcats can only play a system with point guard as the core.

If Jordan wants to play with inside players as the core, then he needs to use Cousins, Roy Hibert or David West as the core.

Let’s not talk about whether they have that ability. Even if they have that ability, Ross, is he so willing?

If Ross is really willing to compromise, isn’t that Jimmy Butler will become the core of the team when the team needs to play small forward tactics?

If the team needs the scoring defender tactics, is Roy the boss of the team?

If this is the case, the Bobcats are a team without core and everyone is a core.

Such a team can't hold on to the NBA, even Jordan can't hold on.

This is definitely not a joke. The Lakers' OK, the two core players, ended up making such a mess.

Now tell me, you want to complete the five cores?

In fact, Jordan had such a plan at the beginning of the season. Chen Xiao left, and he did not straighten Rose from the beginning.

But after a while of fighting, he found that his thoughts were still naive.

It is indeed ideal to play the five core players in turn as the team needs to rotate, but the biggest problem with this style of play is that the five core players are not just about the same strength and qualifications, the strength and length of the five of them are too obvious.

In terms of qualifications, can you Jimmy Butler be the core?

In terms of strength, you, David West, also lack the core strength.

In the end, Jordan found out that it would be better to forget it. Chen Xiao, who can play five positions, is not something that five players can replace him.

After Boss Qiao straightened Ross, the team's tactical style soon became clear, the team's operation became normal, and the team's internal problems became smoother.

After all, Ross, they were convinced.

Of course, after Jordan straightened Rose as his only core, Jordan also understood that his Bobcats would be like those ordinary NBA teams, and would no longer have the infinite changes they used to be.

This actually made Jordan a little sad.

However, Old Curry said it right: "Michael, when we lose Chen, we should be mentally prepared. His uniqueness is not something that anyone or even a group of people can replace."

So, when Jordan met Chen Xiao again, he felt quite complicated.

If you want to say you are reluctant to leave, you will definitely be reluctant to leave.

But what can I do if I don’t want to give up?

He didn't want to lose Chen Xiao, but he knew that Yishan would definitely not tolerate the two kings, and their parting was inevitable.

Although Boss Qiao is a petty person and he is a little reluctant and regretful when he parted ways with Chen Xiao, after the breakup, Boss Qiao is still very human.

The Charlotte Bobcats Arena was renamed to the stadium named after Chen Xiao. At the same time, outside the stadium, Chen Xiao's huge bronze statue also stood up.

At the same time, when Chen Xiao came back tonight, Boss Qiao took the lead in bringing the Bobcats players and fans on the scene to welcome Chen Xiao.

It can be said that the best way to respect Chen Xiao is to be able to do.

However, such respect is off-the-scenes and from the heart.

On the court, in this game, the Bobcats players played very fiercely against the Warriors.

When the Bobcats players saw the Warriors players, they all wanted to eat them alive. The resentful look of their goddess being snatched away by the group of people in front of them, and they were trembling with thick eyebrows and Bill.

So, in this Warriors and Bobcats game, the young players who performed well this season played very ugly under the crazy blow of the Bobcats players.

The defending champion is the defending champion, this Bobcat, the main champion lineup, left Chen Xiao and Barnes.

All other dynasties are now staying in the team, and Granger has also made a comeback this season, but he has now lost his position. The Bobcats' small forward is Chen Xiao's junior brother, Jimmy Butler.

However, it was already a pleasure to see Granger standing on the court again.

The Bobcats who played away in this game lost 100-121 to the Bobcats.

This is a crushing defeat, but such a crushing defeat is not without gains. You can see the gap between them and the top teams in the entire league now.

This is also an incentive.

And this is also a growth for young Warriors players who had been very smooth before.

It has to be said that the NBA league has taken great pains to schedule the Warriors this season.

The previous 20 games allowed the Bobcats to have an easy schedule to cultivate confidence. After the young players of the Warriors cultivated their confidence, even when they were already a little drifting because of 11 consecutive wins, they immediately threw the Bobcats and the Heat on their faces.

On December 10, after the Bobcats lost to the Bobcats away, the Bobcats challenged the Heat away on December 12, and another big defeat was achieved.

In this game, not only Bill was beaten by Wade, Lopez was beaten to death by Yao Ming, and even Clay, who has always been stable, was trapped in this game by Paul George, a young Heat player.

Not to mention, the match between Thanime and Anthony, who simply pressed Thanime to the ground and beat it up.

In this game, the Warriors even lost even worse than the Bobcats in the last game.

This season, in order to keep Anthony and keep the team's Big Three, the Heat reluctantly gave up the team's point guard Barbosa and the team's power forward O'Neal Jr.

He straightened Australian point guard Mills and moved Anthony's position to the power forward.

The Heat's huge changes have also suffered from pain at the beginning of the season. Like the Bobcats, they have recovered now.

After all, the core of the Heat has not changed. Although Anthony has come, it is difficult for Anthony to play to become the team's tactical core.

Now the Heat have actually given up on making Anthony the core of tactical affairs.

Now the Heat plan to make him an offensively enhanced version of Chris Bosh in the Heat and an assassin killer next to Yao Ming.

I have to say that such a role is even better for Anthony.

At the same time, with the rise of Mills and Paul George this season, although the Heat gave up the two main players Barbosa and O'Neal Jr., the Heat seemed to be stronger.

After Mills became the team's pseudo point guard this season, he averaged 20 minutes of playing time, averaged 11 points per game, hitting a shooting percentage of 47%, and hitting a three-pointer percentage of 43%. He can average 2 three-pointers, and his attack power is quite explosive.

He and Sun Yue are both offensive and defense, and are quite distinctive among all NBA teams.

Of course, the biggest surprise of the Heat this season is of course Paul George.

This season, he not only maintained his excellent defense, but also evolved again in three-pointers and offense. This season, he can average 2.5 three-pointers per game, and at the same time, he can average 4 assists per game.

When Sun Yue and Mills did not have such strong organizational skills, Paul George successfully completed the responsibility of the No. 2 outside organizer beside Wade this season.

With Paul George, a player who can control the ball, Yao Ming and Wade have much less organizational pressure, so the two can use more energy to attack.

In short, because of Chen Xiao's departure and the sudden change of the Bobcats made the Heat no longer use the Bobcats as their first imaginary enemy.

The Heat's first imaginary enemy has become the Bucks, and this season, Yao Ming, Anthony, Paul George, Wade, and Mills' Heat have completed the transformation to deal with the five small Bucks.

Therefore, many people say that although there are four major super teams in the East now, the final battle between the East is probably still more stable.

Although the Cavaliers have performed very fiercely recently.

After losing to two super teams in the East in a row, this time, the Bobcats have two opponents left.

On December 14, the Bobcats, who were in poor form, had a very difficult away game to beat the Hawks 105-103.

Then he lost 115-120 to the Magic led by Arenas and Howard on December 15.

The Magic are now in turmoil because of the conflict between Arenas and Howard, but if they really want to play with their strength and form, they are still a very strong team.

However, after this game, rumors about Howard's trade spread all over the NBA.

Many people say that Howard formally submitted a deal application and would not go without the Lakers.

By the way, Howard's current situation is quite embarrassing.

I don't want to stay in the Magic, I want to compete for the championship, I want to go to big cities, but in the entire league, the teams that can compete for the championship are the Heat, Bobcats, Cavaliers, Bucks, and Spurs.

The Heat have Yao Ming, the Bobcats have Cousins, and the Cavaliers have Oden. The Bucks don’t need a center like him, and then the Spurs cannot go. He is a former Spurs player. If you want to go back to be a disciple of Popovich, wouldn’t he admit that it was wrong for him to leave?

And he couldn't stand Popovich's coaching style.

After a round trip, only the Lakers barely met the requirements.

The Lakers are the second tier of competing for championships, and at the same time, they are also a big city, which is quite in line with his requirements.

So, after hearing this rumor, Chen Xiao felt that it was really very possible.

As the Lakers grow older, they also need a relatively young player like Howard who can provide vitality to the team.

Moreover, Howard's contract expires in 2013, with only half a year left, so the transaction price will not be too high.

Chen Xiao felt this way, which shows how reliable this rumor is. For a moment, the focus of the NBA shifted from the Warriors' winning streak to Howard's deal.

After the seven consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference in December, the Warriors' record in these seven games was 4 wins and 3 losses. It cannot be said that they are excellent, but it is still OK to be good. In addition to the Magic, the Warriors basically won all the games they should win.

However, after the Warriors ended the seventh consecutive away away from the East, they needed to adjust the team's state.

Fortunately, after returning to Golden State, the Warriors have three days off to play the Hornets in the next game.

However, the bad news is that the Warriors' remaining games in December are not easy to play.

Hornets, Kings, Bobcats, Jazz, Lakers, 76ers, Celtics.

In these seven games, the Warriors also finally achieved a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, losing to the Bobcats, Jazz and Celtics.
