"@PHIL5CHEN, look at my mouth shape: Yi Yi Ao - hanging !!"

After Chen Mu's post-game rhetoric once again swept the United States, and even swept the world, Yao Ming, who had just opened his own personal verified Twitter, immediately posted the above tweet.

And at this moment, all the people who like and dislike Chen Mu can only be described by this word.

Ages...... Ah no, in the history of the NBA, there are many stars who have made the announcement of winning the championship. Even some players who are far from being stars have said similar things, publicly or privately expressing their determination to compete for the title.

But determination is determination, confidence is confidence, and different expressions give people a completely different feeling.

At the end of the season, after the last game at home, Chen Mu needs a speech to boost the confidence of fans and bring hope to his team. It is a very rare act to say such words in such domineering and concise language.

Most of the previous stars said this kind of thing in the media questions, press conferences, or post-match interviews.

And most players don't say it so dead and absolutely.

"I think we have a chance to win the title."

"I think we definitely have what it takes to win the title."

"We have only one goal, and that is to be a champion."

"If you don't win the championship, you're a failure."

And so on and so forth, the cheering words spoken by the players are generally taken in this way.

This is a relatively safe way of expression, which not only shows his determination to lead the team to win the championship, but also does not say too much. After all, no one can say what will happen in the future, and there have never been many examples of super heroes who aim to win the championship and overturn in the gutter.

How many years have it been since the most famous calf was hacked? The Mavericks, who won 67 that year, once made people feel that they could not defeat at all, and the previous year's finals were overturned. The majesty of the flame of revenge brought to the Mavericks is also unprecedented.

But even those Mavericks were not overwhelmed by the "I-BELIEVE" in the Golden State Oracle Stadium in the end, and finally went out in the first round?

From this point of view, what Chen Mu said now is really too arrogant.

People know. Chen Mu is a restless guy in his heart, and he will have amazing words from time to time. And most of these amazing words are said at the end of a season, and at first glance, people can't help but chuckle out loud, thinking that this big man from China must have lost his mind.

But so far, what Chen Mu said in public, as long as he said it, he would definitely do it, but it was also true.

This time. Can Chen Mu do it?

At least in the eyes of semi-official TV critics, Chen Mu's words are too big.

Football critics, led by Bill Simmons, don't have much special affection for Philadelphia in their hearts, and can look at the problem more rationally. From a neutral point of view, Philadelphia has no problem competing for the championship, but "winning the championship in a certainty"? Not to mention whether the critics agree or not, the Celtics and Lakers can't agree!

The first record in the regular season is a tough bull, but will the first place in the regular season be guaranteed to win the championship? Not necessarily.

All fans familiar with the NBA know it. Regular season record and playoff performance are two different things. The Suns have always been blazing in the regular season, but they have never been able to cross the two mountains of the Spurs and Lakers in the playoffs.

LeBron and his Cavaliers are also strong contenders for the top spot in the regular season. But the Cavaliers' hard injuries are very obvious, and it is too difficult for LeBron's one-man team to break through the Celtics' blockade.

How does Philadelphia compare to these two teams in comparison? On the offensive end, the Suns are still the No. 1 offensive maniac in points per game, but they just lack a super offensive star who can take over the game at critical moments.

Philadelphia's overall offense. Did you reach the Suns' level?

The Cavaliers' defense is not covered, and LeBron's Cavaliers are very similar to Iverson's 76ers a few years ago. It's all about defending with all the team, backing up the superstars, and the offensive end is all about the traditional team-building ideas of the superstars' individual play. LeBron and Iverson. Did you win the championship before you didn't have a historical class helper? Nope!

Chen Mu's personal strength, how is it compared to LeBron? How does it compare to Iverson at his peak?

What two outside superstars, historical-level offensive maniacs can't do, how can you Chen Mu do it? ?

Yes, you Chen Mu have fulfilled your own words many times before. You said you were going to be a starter, and you did it. You said you were going to be a star, and you did it. You said you wanted to be MVP, and you also counterattacked and slapped your face, and you did it by shining through people's glasses.

But the things you do are mostly up to you. Whether it's a burst or an MVP, as long as you ensure that your personal statistics are strong and the team's record is good, it is possible to do it, and there is hope to complete it.

But ...... championship?

This is definitely not something that one person can easily do.

So this time, even the most hardcore Chen Mu fans, after hearing Chen Mu's words, immediately searched for the video of this speech on the Internet, and after watching it, his blood was boiling, and his blood was surging, and he felt that the world was trampled under Chen Mu's feet. This oracle is domineering, direct, and has the demeanor of an emperor superstar.

But if you calm down and think about it......

At the end of the TV program, even if he was dissatisfied with Simmons's obviously derogatory and disdainful words, as Chen Mu's friend and former teammate, Chris Webber had to admit that Chen Mu had too much to say this time.

Even Barkley, Chen Mu's brainless fan, shook his fat head and said seven "NOWAY" in a row in the face of Simmons' aggressive questioning, admitting that Philadelphia was still far from winning the championship.

"It's the best of times, and we're probably witnessing the wildest superpower matchup in NBA history. The Celtics, Lakers, Suns, Cavaliers, plus Philadelphia all have the strength to win more than 60 wins in the regular season. The NBA in this era is really good-looking. ”

When concluding his arguments, Kenny Smith, who has always had no emotional tendencies and adhered to the principle of "fair explanation", said with a wry smile:

"In times like these, if you ask Garnett and Kobe Bryant, who are extremely arrogant, they won't tell you directly: 'Next year's championship'. No one will be arrogant to this extent, no one can be 100% sure that their team is better than others, and they are better than others. ”

"Even these superstars who have experienced the baptism of time and have been proven to be champion-level superstars dare not say, Chen said it at this time, it is really too exaggerated."

Smith's words were rarely quickly refuted by Barkley, and the fat man just nodded while listening, with an expression of "I admire you very much, but what you said is too exaggerated" on his face, and he didn't say anything to support Chen Mu.

"The Philadelphia 76ers' injuries may be more obvious than the Cavaliers, and even more difficult to make up for than the Suns. To become a champion, the team needs to have a historic level of offensive and defensive ability, and on that basis, it also needs to have beautiful tactics, strong execution, and an above-average bench. ”

Smith continued: "Of those qualities, Philadelphia satisfies the top three, and they have great offensive prowess and are in the top five in the league. Their defense is superb, perhaps in the top three of the league. Their tactical system, under Carlisle's one-year guidance, has also shown to be extremely competitive, and there is no doubt that Carlisle is a good coach who turns stones into gold. ”

"But Philadelphia's shortcomings make me not optimistic that they will be able to fulfill Chen's rhetoric."

"First of all, the bench, let's look at the bench of a team at the championship level. Boston doesn't need me to say, Marbury is all on their bench, and the depth of the Celtics' roster is unprecedented, and the strength is suffocating. ”

"Needless to say, the Lakers don't need to say that Odom is the sixth man of the year level player, and his all-around skills are reminiscent of Kukoc. And who is Kukocki? The sixth man to win 72 over the Bulls! Kobe Bryant has a backup helper like Odom, which is really enviable, jealous and hateful. ”

Smith wrenched his fingers and began to analyze them one by one, and it was rare for Smith, who analyzed the situation so freely, to say this, and everyone noticed it somewhat:

On weekdays, in the process of game commentary, he always plays the role of "cheer", from time to time to ask his own questions to Barkley, who likes to show off, and wait for Buckley to answer.

In fact, in terms of understanding basketball, understanding of the game, and understanding of tactics, is Smith weaker than Barkley?

Not only is he not weak, but as a role player, his understanding of tactics may be more thorough and profound than Barkley, who has absolutely unlimited firing rights at the MVP level and no matter what team he is in at his peak.

"The Suns have Barbosa, who is also the sixth man of the year. When LeBron is not on the court, the Cavaliers still have Szczebiak, Big Ben, Daniel Gibson, Pavlovich and other cadres. What about Philadelphia? Who is there in Philadelphia? ”

"DeAndre Jordan? That rookie who can't do anything but fly and shoots free throws worse than Shaq? Willie Green? After playing for so many years, he is still at such a level, a short scorer who can score points in chaotic battles, and is confused in positional battles? Thaddeus Young? A model of inconsistencies? Reggie Evans? A noisy man who grabs a rebound is like robbing a bank? ”

After counting Philadelphia's bench, Smith shook his head and said, "With all due respect, the reason why Philadelphia is not favored to win the championship is because of the lack of a bench scorer who can create his own chances." If this is not resolved, Philadelphia will have to wait until a thousand years from now to win the championship. ”

"It's a pity they let Louis go." Barkley nodded regretfully.

"yes, who knows what they're thinking??" Bill Simmons smiled in agreement.

However, just when almost everyone in the world was laughing at Chen Mu's rhetoric and analyzing the shortcomings of the Philadelphia roster, a trade rumor changed everything. (To be continued.) )
