Whether it's Kobe's gorgeous retirement performance, Wei Deron's heavy retirement tour, or Driver and Manu's quiet retirement announcements.
It's hard not to feel the same way.
Including the unwilling roar on the Bosh jersey Retirement Ceremony, etc., all represent the end of one legend after another.
Some of them ended successfully, while others were full of regrets.
Chen Xi has often thought about it since his position in the team became stable.
If you retire in the future, how will you announce it to the world? What achievements did you achieve at that time? Can you create an exaggerated phenomenon like Jordan?
It should be... ok, right?
After all, I am a cheater no matter what, so I will set a small goal first and enter history Top Ten!
December 5 Thunder vs. Jazz
Chen is not in a good mood.
Just yesterday, Player of the Month for November was officially announced.
Eastern Conference LeBron·James
Western Conference James·Harden
Chen Xi "missed by the slightest bit" and lost to the next door LeBron in terms of data.
Rockets 11 wins and 1 loss, Harden 35+10+5
Thunder 12 wins and 1 loss, Chen Xi 32+4+6
Chen Xi is full of evil spirits. Good relations are good relations, but I still feel a little unhappy when I lose in a place like this.
The most annoying thing is that, let alone Best of the Month, Chen Xi didn't even beat Player of the Week for Harden.
On the third day after scoring 51 points to defeat Spurs, Harden scored 56 points against Jazz and came from behind to defeat him.
"Damn LeBron! Just wait for me! I'll squat while you wait for you to go to China! If you dare to ride a battery-powered bicycle, I will report it!!"
The aggrieved Chen secretly planned a dirty revenge method and was ready to execute it as soon as the time came!
"Md, let's start with Jazz today. Chen will score 60 points!!!" (Paul·George likes)
The game starts soon
Gobert relaxed his arms and moved the racket towards his home Backcourt.
Jazz attacks first.
The famous James·Harden terminator, master of defense from behind, Ricky·Rubio, took over Basketball, slowly moved past Midcourt Line, and came to Frontcourt.
Facing Westbrook, he did not choose to attack blindly, but instead invited Pick-and-Roll from Ingles. He took one step and broke through, entering Mid-range. Facing Butler's defense, he played the ball to Donovan·Mitchell on the flank.
Mitchell catches the ball and shoots.
If you vote, you'll get in.
3 to 0
It has to be said that Jazz is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer the loser who was swept out by Thunder First Round last season.
The terrifying 13th pick sg, Donovan Mitchell, showed extraordinary adaptability as soon as he entered League. It only took a few weeks to adapt to the intensity of the NBA.
Then progress was rapid.
In the second month of his career, he averaged 18+3+3 per game, which is amazing.
Therefore, the outstanding and very young Mitchell was quickly established as the new Core of the team by the team.
Together with Gobert, Jazz and Fans formed a new ok combination in their hearts.
According to the original historical development, Mitchell can indeed meet the expectations of Jazz Fans, but due to incompatibility with Gobert, it eventually led to the disintegration of the team.
Gobert is a player who is very dependent on the team's system. He is a super defensive Interior who is very suitable for defending and retreating.
Gobert's Rim Protection, blocking, assisting defense, one-on-two defense at the basket, Interior's one-on-one defense, including position selection when defending Pick-and-Roll, etc., are all very good. Of course, count on him to go to the outside Lockdown Defense Doncic, Interior is a bit hard to defend against Jokic. (Manual dog head)
Under the retreat strategy, Gobert has a very strong ability to interfere with ball handlers and runners.
However, the center's retreat will inevitably lead to limited suppression of the outside line when dealing with the opponent's No. 15 position Pick-and-Roll.
Moreover, although the defense is very good, Gobert still has huge flaws in Offensive End.
He has no ability to handle the ball. The only way to score is to hit a few easy balls. Once the ball is stopped, he doesn't even have the ability to beat one-on-one under the basket.
Unless he meets Mismatch or a short center, he can still finish with a long-arm Forceful drive dunk.
In addition, let alone O'Neal and Jokic, if you just name any center in active service, not many of them can match him in Offensive End.
The two forwards, Ingles and Favors, are not offensive players, so the team's offensive burden almost entirely falls on Mitchell alone.
Back to the game
Westbrook controls the ball to Frontcourt, looking for Pick-and-Roll from Chen Xi.
After passing the screen, he broke through, attracted the defense of Mitchell, and then passed the ball back to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi catch the ball Isolation Rubio.
After continuous crotch shaking, a Push Dribble Change of Direction broke through to the left, easily passing Rubio in two steps.
Gobert Help defense was very fast. He immediately got up outside the paint area and in front of Chen Xi, not giving him a chance to make a move Mid-range.
Seeing this, Chen Xi slowed down and joined the ball. He used a Euro Step to squeeze past Gobert, and then faced the empty basket and played a careful trick.
The lever after jumping Layup.
First put the ball away, then stretch your body and move the ball towards the other side of Basket.
Then there was another pause, the ball was taken back, and before landing, the ball was passed to Little Sabonis.
Snap!!
Along with the sound of Chen Xi landing, there was also the sound of Gobert's slap on Rebound.
With his exaggerated wingspan, even if he is out of position, Gobert can easily interfere with the ball holder's Layup.
The defensive efficiency at the basket is ridiculously high.
Fortunately, Chen Xi is self-aware and chose to divide the ball.
After Little Sabonis received the ball in an open position, he hit Gobert with a time difference, and Floater finished the game easily.
Jazz attacks again.
Rubio holds the ball and looks for Pick-and-Roll of Gobert. After clearing the ball, Gobert passes the ball to Gobert.
Gobert holds the ball and attacks the frame, and then brilliantly, under the obstruction of Little Sabonis, Forceful drive takes action Brick.
Basketball popped out of the frame and was picked up by Gordon, who jumped up high and then passed it to Westbrook who was about to move down.
Westbrook picked up the ball and accelerated, pushing Rubio all the way past Midcourt Line, and then one step past Midcourt Line.
First decelerating and then accelerating, using the scissor kick to speed up a second time, Rubio was left behind in one step.
Facing Basket jumped high.
The c word is the battle axe, although it is late, it has arrived.
Beng!!!!
As the sound of the frame exploding sounded, Thunder's home court boiled again, and the familiar shouts once again filled Chen Xi's eardrums.
Rubio had no choice but to run back to Baseline, took the Basketball from Referee, and prepared Re-inbound pass.
This kind of pure talent crushing left him powerless to fight back.
After Mitchell received the ball, he moved it to Frontcourt alone and challenged Chen Xi one-on-one.
The scene was immediately filled with waves of boos.
"Chris!! Teach this kid a lesson!!"
"Rookie!!! Welcome to the NBA!!!"
