Chapter 226 The end of the regular season

"LeBron, the 23-game winning streak was terminated and he lost to his old rival Bobcats for the third time. What do you think of the final result of this game?" The reporter moved quickly and trotted to hand the microphone to James, who looked unfazed.

Wearing a towel, he planned to return to the locker room immediately. After the game, James didn't want to stay on the court any longer. Outside the shelter of the towel, he looked at the staff around him and the media who were aiming at him. He was already surrounded. He had no choice but to stop amid the crowd.

"Well emmm, you know, 23 consecutive wins proves that the Miami Heat are the best team in the league. We are heading towards the second championship. Today we are in bad shape. My brother D. Wade is suffering from injuries. Unable to play." James shrugged with a regretful expression, "This is just a regular season game, the Heat's goal is always the playoffs, let's see what happens next."

After the words fell, James glanced at the staff beside him. Under the protection of the strong man, James broke out of the encirclement and entered the player tunnel.

……

"113:109, the Bobcats once again defeated their opponent at the American Airlines Arena. The opponent currently ranked first in the league, the Miami Heat, also ended their opponent's 23-game winning streak since the beginning of February, which ranked second in history. .

I am very happy to invite the best player of the game, Chen Xiao of the Bobcats, for an interview. Chen, what do you think of this victory? Ernie asked.

"This is a difficult victory. I have to say that the Heat's counterattack is very strong. Maybe if they can hit two more long-range shots, it may be unclear who will win this game." Chen Xiao replied with a smile. There is a slight lingering fear, but this is not a compliment. Norris Cole and Ray Allen made Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players break into a cold sweat when they hit [-] three-pointers in the last quarter.

In contrast, Walker, who was sleepwalking in the last quarter and throughout the game, was simply committing a crime. However, Chen Xiao, who took the ball from Walker, continued the Bobcats' winning streak.

"38 points, 19 rebounds, over 7% shooting, Chen, today you dominated Chris Bosh again. Sorry, CB, I have to tell the truth." Barkley looked towards the camera and apologized to the potentially offended Bosh. , "What do you think of your outstanding performance against the Heat? Did they put too little defensive pressure on you?"

"40 points and 20 rebounds, 39 points and 17 rebounds, 38 points and 19 rebounds, three games, averaging 39 points and 18.6 rebounds per game. What a terrible performance." Barkley shook his head and sighed.

"Haha, I have to defend Chris. He is less than 235 pounds and is a power forward. Many people think that he did not perform well defensively against me and some heavy centers. That is because that is not what he does. Yes, facing Chris, I will indeed play more relaxedly, but there are also objective factors." Chen Xiao smiled and said a few fair words for Bosh, who was scored on his head for at least 20 points in this game. .

The game had just ended, and while Chen Xiao was still accepting praise from Barkley, the fans who loved to study had already discovered an obvious pattern.

Currently, the top three in the league are the Heat, who are first in the Eastern Conference, and the Spurs and Thunder, who are the top two in the Western Conference. The Bobcats, who are second in the Eastern Conference and at the forefront of the league, face these three championship teams and have a current record of 3 wins and 4 losses.

They won all 3 games against the Heat and lost all 4 games against the Thunder.

The Heat, who have played against the Spurs once and the Thunder twice, have won all three games against potential finals opponents.

"The Bobcats are purely defeating the Heat. When facing the top teams in the Western Conference, they will give up their lives. They are beaten every time. Facing the Heat, they muster up all their energy to win by 3 or 5 points. In the end, the Bobcats will defeat the Heat. Will you kill the Thunder and Spurs in the finals?"

"Don't worry, we only lost by 4 points this time without Wade. When Wade comes back, the Heat will still have a great chance."

"Don't panic, do you know what it means to let three chase four? Moreover, James also said that it is only the regular season, we will wait for the playoffs, and the Bobcats are short of major generals. The two teams can only meet in the Eastern Conference Finals. Maybe in By that time, the Knicks and Pacers had already eliminated the Bobcats halfway."

"I'll leave it at that. If the Heat qualify in the Eastern Conference, they still have hope for a championship. They may even face the old Spurs and the Thunder. The advantage is in Miami. The Bobcats have no chance at all. If they go there, they might just shave their heads."

Faced with the Heat fans scoring a big four in the post-game review and completing a three-to-four game, the Bobcats fans also fought back.

"Ah, yes, yes, the Bobcats will go to the finals to shave their heads. I will follow your example. The future of 07 is yours. No problem. Chen Xiao, Walker, Midou and Team Heng are all young. Go and shave the stone Buddha once and consecrate it." Next year, I will treat your Big Three Heat."

"It's true that the Bobcats can't perform well against the two strongest teams in the Western Conference. All rational fans agree. But the Western Conference? Then they have to meet in the finals. At least six months ago, they were still playing in the Eastern Conference. They were all rookies and young people. People, I have to get along with you in the east for the next few years. I’ll see you later~”

"The Heat are just having fun meeting the Bobcats now. The 23-game winning streak is just one win more than the 22-game winning streak. If they had met the Bobcats earlier, they might not even be able to maintain their second-place record~"

……

After playing the away game against the Heat, we came out of Miami and visited Orlando on the way.

Tobias Harris, who was selected by the Bobcats, performed well, and Kyle O'Quinn, who is a black man, has a lot of strength. Chen Xiaoxian, who was playing soy sauce, commented one or two.

Facing the Heat and the Magic's Nelson, Kemba Walker hit hard, taking the most 22 shots in the game and scoring 34 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds.

Henderson, who not long ago scored a career-high 35 points, is still approaching the scoring record in this game. It is another efficient and productive game of 30+ points. The backcourt duo scored nearly 70 points together, making it impossible for them to score in the previous game. Chen Xiao, who worked hard to lead Charlotte to victory, sat on the sidelines and won easily.

Orlando won easily, and the Bobcats rushed to the Big Apple City without stopping to fight again with the Knicks, whose current record has declined and is ranked behind the suddenly rising Pacers.

Although the current Knicks are no longer a member of the BIG 3 in the Eastern Conference, or in other words, what are the BIG 3 in the eyes of Heat fans who have won consecutive victories in the league?Only the Heat King dominates the Eastern Conference!

However, after Kobe's crazy scoring performance gradually became normal, Melo, who is currently averaging more than 28 points per game this season, has a high probability of winning his first scoring trophy. Facing the potential scoring champion, the Bobcats still cannot be careless.

Before the game, a piece of news came that boxing champion Chandler would not be able to attend.

Oh, that’s okay. You still can’t be careless. You can be careless or get caught up in something.

115:108, the Bobcats defeated a strong enemy without any danger.

In the middle of the game, in addition to Anthony, who scored more but was less efficient, JR Smith, who was in his "nerve knife" state, made unreasonable jump shots and pull-up layups to overtake the score.

"Gerald Henderson is simply crazy. He can do anything from jump shots to attacking the basket. Facing the weak inside line of the Knicks tonight, Henderson transformed into 'Black Jesus' in Madison Square Garden and competed with 'Psycho' J.R. "Smith versus Biao, complement each other." The commentator's passionate praise also prevented Victory from taking out the Bobcat palm.The bobcat turned over the stubborn big apple with both claws and ate it up happily.

10 consecutive victories, an unprecedented double-digit winning streak in the history of the Bobcats. Starting from the 5th consecutive victory, the Bobcats led by Chen Xiao are making history along the way.

On the penultimate day of March, in Philadelphia, the Bobcats added to their winning streak with a victory, ending March with a victory.

In 16 games in a single month, they lost five games in a row and then won 5 games in a row. They were significantly behind, but they were still more than one step behind the Eastern Conference and even the league's No. 11 Miami Heat in terms of record.

After losing to the Bobcats, the Heat all played to face their old rival, the Bulls, who were missing Rose. However, at the end of the month, in the much-anticipated "Finals Preview" of the first place in the Eastern and Western Conferences, James was exempted from the game. The Heat, led by Shi, narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs by 2 points with only one demon knife missing.

After the victory over the Spurs, this season's match between the Heat and the two best teams in the Western Conference has ended, and the record of winning 4 games is shining.

In contrast, the Charlotte Bobcats, who lost all 4 games, are a little embarrassed. Is this the so-called civil war between insiders and outsiders?

"What the hell is this? We're going to the Finals just to give it away, and the Heat are there to win. What the hell is this?" Middleton complained as he grabbed his cell phone and poked it angrily with his fingers.

"4 wins, 4 losses. We are now a negative example in the Eastern Conference. We are used to highlight the Heat's greatness." Walker, who was also unhappy, said in a strange tone.

"Hey guys, whatever they say, it counts as success if we enter the finals. Thank them for arranging us to enter the finals. Thank them for eight lifetimes of ancestors." Chen Xiao said with a smile.

The finals are too far away, and the last half month of the regular season is right around the corner.

……

In March, the choice of the best duo in the Eastern Conference of the Month was once again staged. It was either James or Chen, or Chen or James. LeBron James, who averaged 3 points, 26 rebounds, and 8 points per game for nearly one James coin, relied on 7 wins and 14 losses in the whole month, including A series of 2 consecutive victories and an advantageous record overcame Chen Xiao, who was ahead in personal statistics but was dragged down by five consecutive losses, and Lezizi won the best for the third consecutive month this season.

From November to early April, the East and West have selected their respective best players for five months. Among them, the only two players in the history of this period, Chen Xiao and James in the East won three awards each, and jointly monopolized the Eastern Conference.

In the West, there is also a 3-seat player. This month, relying on the relatively leading score of 28+8+4 and 12 wins and 5 losses, Durant once again shared the same poster with "lifelong enemy" LeBron James, locking in advance. Western Conference Best of the Month Most Times Winner~
However, except for Kevin Durant who scored a hat trick, the Western Conference is still full of flowers. Chris Paul, Tony Parker, and Kobe Bryant are all famous for the best of the month.

The Best of the Month, known as the Little MVP, is obviously the vane of the Big MVP in the entire regular season. Outpost, the regular season is coming to an end, and there is only the last Best of the Month trophy left in April. At this moment, Chen Zhandu and three others are on the same starting line. Heading towards the final destination.

The official MVP list released in early April also confirmed the final competition.

1. LeBron James, Heat (last ranking: 1);
2. Chen Xiao, Shanmao (3);
3. Kevin Durant, Thunder (2).

……

In the first game in April, the Milwaukee Bucks were on the edge of the playoffs.

Bobcats fans expected that it would be an easy win. The Bobcats, who led the South to Miami and the Northern Expedition to the Knicks, swept the East and swept the East Coast. Facing the Milwaukee Elks, wouldn't it be easy?

But I didn't expect that the Bucks, who were determined to rush into the playoffs, united and worked hard, allowing the Cats who had not seen rain for a long time to feel the power of the three-point rain again.

The overall shooting percentage was 5%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 5%. Three players scored more than 3 points, and six players scored more than 20 points. The Bobcats, who were riding an 6-game winning streak, stumbled and were contaminated by water vapor on the quiet lakeside of Milwaukee.

Turkish insider Ilyasova once again left a deep impression on Chen Xiao. Ilyasova, whose three-point shooting percentage has reached 4% this season, is 4 of 4 from three-point range. You are not Sova, you are Nowitz. Gay.

"Poet" Sanderson was also in a strong state and scored close to 20+10. This may be what Heat fans think of the "Birdman".

After winning the Player of the Week this season, he compared himself to Wade and said, "Apart from the fact that he has won more games than me and has two championship rings, there is no difference between us. I have everything Wade has." Tha Ellis broke out in great condition today, scoring 20 points is nothing, but he had 14 assists and 6 steals, revitalizing the Bucks team, with 20+16+6 steals. He is not worthy of being called Milwaukee Wade, although he looked at it. Statistics, assists and steals are high, more like Chris Paul.

With "Wade" and of course the Bucks "King James" Jennings, the Bucks gathered together to provide the Heat with a way to defeat the Bobcats.

It just so happens that a few days later, the first game, the second game, the third game, the fourth game, the last game of the season with the Heat Volcano Cats in the Southeast Division is about to take place, and the Heat coaching staff can learn a thing or two.

Well, the genuine James is definitely better than the Bucks James. After all, one is a semi-winner of the Monthly Best and the other is a one-time Best of the Week winner. There is still a qualitative difference.

The real Wade is definitely better than Ellis who calls himself Wade. If he really has Wade's skills, then Ellis will not be given up by Golden State and will focus on cultivating Curry.

OK, got it, 2 are stronger, then obviously, the problem lies with the other 2.

Let Bosh double his shooting and hit 4 three-pointers. If Bosh, who had almost no three-pointers in the Heat Cats game, adds 4 three-pointers for a total of 12 points, then the Bobcats don't have to think about the possibility of entering the finals. Play GG directly.

With James and "Naughty King", it is true that the Heat have won three consecutive games and have completely dominated the Eastern Conference. To be precise, they have won consecutive championships. Their opponents have all been poached. The only thing that restricts the Big Three is not the salary issue, but the salary issue. It's a matter of harmony within the team. Occasionally he feels unwell with a cold or a cough, and is ridiculed by his teammates. I wonder if King Noda has Bosh's dedication.

With their 11-game winning streak over, the distraught Bobcats moved to Philadelphia, slowly lost 75 players, returned to Charlotte's home court, and faced the Heat again.
