i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 155 [Competition for Ranking at the End of Season]

In this All-Star Game, Kobe has been holding his breath. The last time he was stepped on by Xia Yin, it really made him uncomfortable.

This time the All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles, his home court, the timing was just right. This time he scored 40 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds, and successfully won the Amvp.

Xia Yin did not fight because he had already won it last year.

Dayao didn't compete either. He has never been interested in this kind of exhibition match. He still played a lot of time in this game, playing a total of 20 minutes.

After Kobe got Amvp, his face obviously improved a lot. When he saw Xia Yin, he lost his expression and looked like a child.

This All-Star Game is also a turning point, because after the end of this season there will be labor negotiations, and then there will be a lockout.

In the previous life, it also started from here, the 96 generation began to slowly withdraw from the stage, and the 03 generation officially became the protagonist.

The subsequent 07, 08, and 09 generations, represented by Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Rose and others, also began to show their prominence.

Each leads the way for several years, and a new generation replaces the old one.

After the All-Star Game, there was still one day to rest, so Xia Yin gathered his familiar friends together.

Speaking of which, in Los Angeles, he is also a local snake.

"Cheers! All-stars come to a successful conclusion."

"Cheers, cheers!"

Shayne, Curry, Westbrook, Durant, Dayao and others are all here. This is considered a small gathering.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, there are only two months left in the regular season, and the playoffs are coming soon." Guigui said with emotion.

"You guys are doing well this season. If you work hard, you might be able to reach the Western Conference Finals, but we can't."

As soon as he heard Xia Yin say this, Adu's face, which was still pretending to be reserved, suddenly burst into laughter and began to talk endlessly about his goals for this season.

Speaking of which, Durant and Xia Yin are also considered competitors this season. The two were still competing for the scoring title at the beginning, but Adu only averaged a little more than 28 points per game, while Xia Yin averaged a little more than 30 points.

After Xia Yin scored 75 points in a single game, Adu figured it out and began to focus on the team's winning rate. The Thunder did really well during this period.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Cheers. I hope we can all get what we want."

"cheers!"

The game didn't end until late at night. Before Dayao left, he chatted with Xia Yin about the men's basketball team. Xia Yin's kindness was wasted there, and there were a bunch of guys who didn't want to make progress.

Xia Yin smiled. He had known this result for a long time, but it didn't matter. The sacrifice now was for the gain in the future.

He has done some things well, but no one can say anything about it in the future. For example, he will not participate in the 14 World Championships. Ah Lian will just lead the team by then. Dayao also retired by then.

Just in time, it can wake up the group of people who are inflated and dawdling, as well as the fans who have unrealistic and delusional national team bullies.

He will definitely be scolded when the time comes, but he will decide based on the situation. If the scolding is severe, he will quit the national team directly. Anyway, he will work hard to compete in the Olympics next year.

If it can be successful, he will not go to the 16 Olympics. He will not be sucked by a group of people holding his thighs.

At that time, it would be so comfortable for him to have a good summer or hold a concert.

The Mavericks are not in peace either, and Dayao is worried. Both sides have to take care of them. Fortunately, the Mavericks are not a mosaic. Mud can't hold up the wall, and Adou can't be lifted up.

The Mavericks are only in temporary trouble.

Before the All-Star Game, Nowitzki suffered a slight injury and needed about three weeks to recover, so Dayao became the Mavericks' first offensive core.

However, the coaching staff does not dare to let him play too much time. If Yao is injured again, the Mavericks' regular season ranking will not be good, and the direct impact will be that this year's playoff prospects will also be very bad.

Neither is easy.

Xia Yin returned to the Warriors, and his teammates are training hard. Even though it is halfway through the season, everyone is a little tired, but once good habits and systems are developed, you will get used to it.

In addition, the Warriors have more people who can rotate, and every player who takes the field is used to trying their best, and can continue to play as long as they are in good condition.

The team has a clean slate, and the atmosphere has been good from the beginning. Coupled with the presence of the leader Xia Yin, the Warriors are unique in the entire league when it comes to team spirit.

This is also something Xia Yin is proud of.

"Boss, are you back?"

Allen had just finished practicing defense with Tucker, and they were covered in big men. When they saw Xia Yin, the two of them greeted Xia Yin together.

"Yes, you don't have to give up training, you just have to persevere. The harder you work now, the bigger the contract you can get in the league and the achievements you can achieve in the future, it all depends on now."

Allen smiled and said, "Would you like to try it?"

"Ouch, are you inflated? Okay, come on!"

Tucker shouted from the side, and Beverly ran over directly. He and Allen were in a group, 2 on 2 on the spot.

Xia Yin faced Beverley with the ball, and his defense was indeed good, but this was only relative, and it was still not possible to defend Xia Yin.

Xia Yin continued to dribble with his back and turned around. The basketball was brought to the left and moved laterally. Tucker came to pick and roll. Xia Yin was empty in front of him, but he did not shoot and accelerated into the inside.

Facing Allen, Xia Yin first made a big windmill. The basketball moved from his left hand to his right hand in the air. With a flick of his right wrist, the basketball obediently entered the basket.

A Lian smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that was the case."

Xia Yin patted his arm, "You have to focus on defense. Your foundation is already very good, but you can't defend the inside if you're too hard, and you can't defend the outside if you have delicate defensive skills.

Defense depends on timing and your own design. If you had taken a step back just now and then jumped after getting stuck, it would not have been so easy for me to score the goal. "

"It's still one move away from me. My defensive talent is not good."

"Okay, don't be bitter, it's already pretty good. With your current progress, in 2 years at most, including this season, you can make the All-Defensive Team. Do you believe it?"

Allen became excited when he heard this.

The route Xia Yin designed for him is very good. His physical condition is very good. He has never stopped practicing shooting over the years, and his defense has gradually improved from the inside to the outside. Although he is not precise, he is very comprehensive.

Xia Yin also gave him a specially designed experience on how to organize an offense inside. He has made great progress this season.

Tucker patted the ball on the side, "Boss, is he Versailles? His conditions are much better than mine. If he persists like this, he will definitely become a regular in the All-Stars in the future."

Xia Yin nodded, "Indeed, you are very hopeful!"

Allen smiled honestly, "Don't praise me, I just tried a little harder. All of this is my effort."

Xia Yin stared at him and said, "You have indeed learned Versailles. Even honest people have become bad."

"Hey! It's not...boss. Xia Yin..."

A group of people watching nearby laughed.

The current atmosphere of the Warriors is very good, and they are very motivated. Xia Yin also knows that it will not last for a few years, but now is indeed a very united and harmonious moment.

People will change, but there will be no problem with the general direction. The Warriors have Xia Yin, the anchor of stability.

"Paul George, come here and get beaten!" Paul George was hiding at the back. When he saw Xia Yin, he panicked now. He was really being tortured every day and lost all his pride. Although he was making rapid progress, it was still uncomfortable.

He trembled when he heard Xia Yin calling him.

Danny Green patted George on the shoulder and said, "I keep yelling at you, so hurry up and get over. You are in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed. Your conditions are good and your upper limit is high. This is to train you. Go ahead!"

Paul George also knew this was the case, but he was in pain. Shain's iron elbow was very painful.

Danny Green looked at Paul George's timid past and smiled while chatting with Crawford.

In such an atmosphere, the Warriors have games coming one after another, with some winning and some losing.

However, after training for most of the season, several Warriors players are already able to withstand some troubles. Xia Yin is no longer alone.

At the end of March, the Warriors currently have 3 wins and 52 losses, with only 20 games left in the regular season. The Warriors are currently ranked fourth in the league and third in the Western Conference.

The top four are the Spurs, Heat, and Mavericks.

It just so happens that the fifth-place team in the league is the second-place Bulls team in the Eastern Conference. Rose is working hard this season, but there is always Xia Yin weighing on his head.

Xia Yin's continued and stable performance proved that his 75 points in a single game was not just a temporary burst, and now the Warriors have a better record than them. The two teams met 2:0 twice in the regular season.

The Bulls have never defeated Shain and the Warriors once, and Shain simply suppressed Rose and couldn't get up.

Now, the gap between him and Rose has become wider and wider, with statistics and records far ahead, and even the number of fans continues to increase. Rose cannot compare to this.

Shine overtook Ross in all directions.

You know, there are many James and Kobe fans in the world now who are gradually turning to Xia Yin. Xia Yin has a vague feeling of being a member of the new generation league.

Although Rose has become a hot star defender in the league, he still ranks second behind Shayne in the regular season MVP rankings.

The two geniuses of the 08 class are the biggest competitors for this year's mvp and the most promising players.

And it is basically certain that either Shain or Rose has hope.

The unlucky Bulls core Derrick Rose, whenever he looks at the rankings and news, he has the desire to vomit dozens of kilograms of blood, and just wants to shout: "What is the cause of this?"

This kind of frustration and discomfort also made him even more violent. He scored 50 points in a single game a few days ago. Then he heard that he had sprained his ankle and had some pain in his knee, so he took a week off.

When Xia Yin found out, he shook his head and said nothing. The Fengcheng rose might not bloom and would die.

At the beginning of April, teams that had already qualified for the playoffs but were unable to compete for a better ranking began to save their efforts and prepare for the playoffs. Some have already begun targeted training against imaginary enemies.

Teams that have no chance of playing in the playoffs are beginning to suffer, eager to get better picks in the draft, and then select a talent to bring future hope to the team.

The Warriors also began to focus on training. Xia Yin reduced his playing time and only played about 25 to 30 minutes in each game. This gave his teammates more opportunities and time for three players to play.

Each team can sign up for 13 players in the playoffs. Since the Warriors have no injuries, Mullin is not looking for 10-day short-term contracts in the free market.

At the trade deadline of the previous season, the Warriors did not make any big moves, but there were still many people who recommended themselves.

Everyone can see now that the Warriors have great hope for the future, and they have the opportunity to be a late first-round pick, a second-round pick, or even an undrafted pick, which is rare.

Unknowingly, the Warriors have become the favorites of many marginalized people and veterans. After all, the Warriors have just passed the poverty line and still have a lot of salary space.

On the 22nd, in the last regular season game, the Warriors played against the Kings. Tyreke Evans was a pity, but he still performed well.

The Warriors rotated on a large scale. Shain and Curry took turns and did not play. Others had more opportunities.

This season, Xia Yin has not been absent from work. At the end of the season, Xia Yin was absent from 2 games. This is why Nelson asked Xia Yin to prepare for the playoffs. Externally, Xia Yin was nervous about his groin.

Such nonsense reason...

"How's your ankle?"

Curry looked at his ankle and said nothing.

Xia Yin looked at the silent Curry and understood.

"Hold on and have the surgery after the playoffs. It will be done in one go and I will contact the doctor for you."

Curry was about to thank him when Schein said in his ear, "I will compete for the championship next season, so be prepared. I hope you can become the most trustworthy person around me."

Curry solemnly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be that person."

The two of them continued to watch the game as if nothing had happened, but the scene of the two people chatting with their heads down was broadcast.

Some fans complained online: "Curry is like Xia Yin's little daughter-in-law. The two of them definitely have a lesbian relationship."

"You look at people with rotten eyes. Xia Yin is a playboy, okay?"

Immediately afterwards, we went to the crooked building, and we didn’t know where we were going while chatting.

At the end of the game, Beverley and Matthews ran over and high-fived Shain, "Boss, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate."

"Good job, drink some water."

Looking at the 118:101, 17-point lead, Xia Yin was filled with emotion: "The season is finally over, it's stable."

The Warriors have 58 wins and 24 losses in the regular season this season, ranking fourth in the league and third in the Western Conference.

第一是马刺的63胜19负，第二是热火的61胜21负，第三是小牛队的61胜21负。

Fourth is the Warriors' 58 wins and 24 losses.

With the record confirmed, the situation in the first round of the playoffs will be clear.

The Spurs are first with 63 wins and the Grizzlies are eighth with 47 wins.

The Warriors are third with 58 wins and the Nuggets are sixth with 50 wins.

The Mavericks were second with 61 wins and the Trail Blazers were seventh with 51 wins.

The Lakers won 56 games in fourth place against the Thunder in 55 games.

The regular season ends here.

"Coach, it's easier for us to play against the Nuggets, but against the Mavericks, are you ready?"

Nelson nodded, "I know the Mavericks very well, but now the Mavericks are really strong, and we are still a little weak."

Xia Yin also sighed, still thinking about entering the Western Conference Finals.

Now that I think about it, the second round is the end of this season.

"Seeing that it's time to play, we fought until the end."

Xia Yin’s eyes are firm!
