i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 173 [Glory: My Season]

The end of the shortened season has allowed countless stars to breathe a sigh of relief. If this continues, they will really collapse.

The constant schedule and back-to-back games without any breaks are extremely tiring.

Many stars have very poor statistics this season, and this is also the reason. It is strange that they can be in good shape in such continuous games.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Yin's average of 34.1 points per game makes him even more outstanding, leading the entire league.

Fatigue can also easily lead to injuries. Every team has injured stars this season. At least 4 or 5 people were injured, and at most a team only had 6 players left.

A large number of injuries have also allowed many NBA players, draft picks, and overseas players to obtain contracts and enter the NBA.

You know, before the start of the season, dozens of players were trapped in contracts and did not return to the NBA. Coupled with injuries, the league's ratings this season were a mess.

There is an outlier among them, and that is the Warriors. They are the only team in the entire league whose ratings continue to climb.

There are many people playing with the Warriors. As long as they feel a little uncomfortable, they will go directly to the doctor or rest and observe.

Fortunately, the team has not encountered major injuries. Those injuries that require one to three weeks of rest are completely minor problems.

After returning to the locker room, Xia Yin had time to look at several other data leaders. The block leader was Ibaka. Needless to say, his average of 3.7 blocks per game was unrivaled.

This season's rebounding king was retained by Kevin Love. He averaged 14.8 rebounds per game, beating Howard's 14.6 rebounds per game and successfully retained the rebounding title.

It's not easy. Love has worked hard for data. In the distant North Mirror, he has come to everyone in this way. The Timberwolves' record is indeed not good, but it does not prevent him from showing his talents.

It was also because of Xia Yin's guidance that he understood what he should do most now.

But he didn't give up on other aspects either. Being in the Timberwolves was like a long road to leveling up.

Love is waiting to be rescued from this misery by another team.

This season's assists leader was won by Rondo with an average of 11.8 assists per game. This is the assists leader with the highest average assists per game in recent years. He is increasingly adapting to the Celtics environment.

Rondo, you can say that he is a real C, or you can say that his shooting is rubbish, but his organizational skills are really strong, and his defense is not bad. He is the same type of player as Kidd.

Xia Yin was thinking when Old Nelson's voice sounded, "Guys, be quiet for a moment. We need to understand our future. Please take a look. This is the final first-round matchup."

The game has just ended, the overall situation has been decided, and the first-round lineup will be arranged immediately.

“Let’s talk about the Western Conference first. We are first in the regular season and first in the Western Conference, followed by the Spurs second, Thunder third, Lakers fourth, Grizzlies fifth, Mavericks sixth, Clippers seventh, and Nuggets eighth.

That is to say, we will face the Nuggets in the first round, the Spurs will face the Clippers in the first round, the Thunder will face the Mavericks in the first round, and the Lakers will face the Grizzlies in the first round. "

Xia Yin smiled as soon as he saw the Nuggets' name. Is this the case?In the past few years, he has always met the Nuggets in the first round.

But it should be easy for the Spurs to beat the Clippers, the Thunder and the Mavericks. It's hard to say, but if the Lakers beat the Grizzlies, they are still the current Lakers. There is a high probability that the Lakers will win.

"After talking about the West, let's talk about the East. In the East, the Bulls are first, the Heat are second, the Magic are third, the Celtics are fourth, the Pacers are fifth, the Hawks are sixth, the Knicks are seventh, and the 76ers are eight.

What we need to focus on are the Bulls and Heat, followed by the Magic and Celtics. These four teams are all likely to break through, but the Bulls and Heat are the most likely.

But we just need to understand that if we want to face the Eastern Conference teams, we have to make it to the finals. "

As soon as Nelson said this, Curry was the first to stand up and said passionately, "Coach, we will definitely make it to the finals, and we will win the championship!"

Old Nelson smiled and waved his hand at him.

"After the regular season, we have 4 days of rest, but I will give you at most 2 days. In the remaining 2 days, we need to arrange the tactics for the playoffs and adapt in advance.

OK, that’s it, let’s disband! "

As soon as it was over, Xia Yin was surrounded by people, "Watch what I do. The coach told you to have a good rest, so just take a good rest."

"This season has been very hard, but we have reached this point, so we have to stick to it and finish it. The plan remains the same. Rest well these days and let's work hard together!"

After Xia Yin finished speaking, everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Old Nelson patted Cole on the shoulder and said nothing, but he seemed to have said everything.

A few days passed in a flash.

The playoffs officially started and they were playing the Nuggets. Xia Yin had almost formed muscle memory. It was strange to say that he played the Nuggets in the first round every year. Fortunately, Anthony ran away, otherwise he would have wanted to cry.

Fans on the Internet are also arguing endlessly, with predictions for this season's playoffs appearing one after another.

If the Warriors beat the Nuggets in the Western Conference, there is no doubt that the Spurs will beat the Clippers.

Only the Lakers and Grizzlies, Thunder and Mavericks, these two groups of games are the most competitive. Each team has a large number of supporters, and even experts can't say who can win.

On the contrary, in the East, the top four teams in the East, the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, and Magic, are all considered to be overwhelmingly optimistic about promotion.

However, sometimes, it is not that simple, and reality does not follow logic.

When the Warriors beat the Nuggets 3:0, a big thing happened in the Eastern Conference. Rose was seriously injured. In the third game between the two teams, the 76ers successfully changed the score and led the Bulls 2:1.

At this moment, the enthusiasm of the fans was stimulated. Is this another bad match?
There have been many black eight incidents in the past few years, and this is also because the league is in a period of change, a period when the strengths of the teams are either very close, or there is a big gap, or they are very restrained.

Because Rose was injured, the Bulls' odds suddenly dropped sharply, and they lost hope.

Indeed, after the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets 4-0, the Bulls and 76ers reached 2:3, with the 76ers leading. It seemed like one more game would end the game.

Currently, the Warriors are the only team in the entire league that eliminated their opponents 4:0, and all other teams have to play at least five games.

Especially the opponents in the second round, the Lakers or Grizzlies. The two teams have already reached the fifth game. The Lakers 3:2 Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies are very resilient. If the game cannot be ended in the sixth game, maybe the seventh game , the Grizzlies can make a comeback.

The Warriors ended their day's training and gathered in the conference room to watch the game together, mainly watching the Lakers and Grizzlies.

"Boss, I heard that you recommended Tyson Chandler and Jr. Smith to the Lakers?" Curry said this with a bit of resentment.

Xia Yin raised his eyebrows, "Yes, but don't worry, the Lakers can't beat us, even if they look strong now."

"Are you sure? Don't let us overturn when the time comes. Look at their great performance in this game. They are getting along very well." Curry was worried. It is true that the Lakers are really a bit strong.

Xia Yin also saw it, but he still didn't care. Such Lake talent just marked the end of an era.

If it continues to decline like that and the hope of Los Angeles fans is not shattered, how can we welcome the arrival of the King of Angels?
"Don't worry, everything is under control."

The two teams played until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. Kobe was really angry today, but the Grizzlies were also very good.In the last 3 minutes, Kobe scored several difficult goals, completely widening the point difference. The Grizzlies were unable to recover, and the game was over.

"They were eliminated 4:2. The Grizzlies were pretty good. They just lacked a superstar. Otherwise, the Grizzlies would really have the strength to make it to the finals. They are really strong."

Curry still had a bitter look on his face. Xia Yin patted him on the shoulder. Without saying anything else, he picked up his backpack and went home!
The first round of the playoffs is over. The Western Warriors faced the Nuggets 4:0, the Spurs faced the Clippers 4:1, and the Lakers faced the Grizzlies 4:2.

As for the Thunder and Mavericks, it ended last. As the defending champions, facing the challenge of the young guards, a group of old guys were unwilling to be outdone and used various methods in an endless stream.

But the Thunder during this period really have the image of a king. Durant is the Thunder's big killer, and Westbrook and Harden have also grown up.

The two teams played until the tiebreaker before the winner was completely decided. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks 4:3 and advanced to the second round.

The Mavericks are not weak, but unfortunately, their time has passed.

In the East, the Bulls lost to the 2ers 4:76, another eight-point miracle. After Iverson left, the name 76ers once again resounded throughout the league.

热火4：1尼克斯，魔术4：2老鹰，以及最后的凯尔特人4：2步行者。

The second round of the playoffs is coming.

The 76ers in the Eastern Conference face the Celtics, and the Magic face the Heat.

The Warriors in the Western Conference face the Lakers, and the Thunder face the Spurs.

It was also at this time that the league's various honors were suddenly announced.

The Rookie of the Year in the 11-12 season was won by Irving. As a rising star of the Cavaliers, his performance was okay, but the Cavaliers did not enter the playoffs this season.

And Irving's gorgeous autumn style, even if he is not ill, has indeed attracted a lot of fans. Cavaliers fans work together to cheer for Irving and the Cavaliers' future, and by the way, curse James for continued failure. This is already normal.

This season's Sixth Man of the Year goes to James Harden. Harden's growth this season is obvious to all, and he does deserve this honor, but now he is still a happy beast.

I don’t know what he will face when his contract expires next year.

The Most Improved Player award goes to Ryan Anderson. This big man has grown very quickly in the Magic this season. After Paul left, he has a lot of room to play, and he has a lot of time and destiny.

At this time, the announcement of the best defensive player sparked a heated discussion because the winner was Xia Yin.

Xia Yin's defense is indeed very strong, but he has not crushed everyone this season, not to mention that he has been in the second consecutive game.

But Shain defeated Howard by a slim vote, making Shain the first player in the league to have three consecutive DPOYs.

This is an unprecedented achievement, and it is likely that even in the future, there will be only a very small possibility of it being broken.

Stern's god-making plan is advancing, and this is one step.

In the previous two seasons, there was no controversy over Shain, but after his focus shifted this season, his defensive performance was indeed inferior to that of several players, but he got it.

"Congratulations, boss. It's really great, but the reviews outside are not very good."

"Curry, you have to remember that history will only remember the victors, not to mention that the controversy is not big, and you have to talk about power when you come out to hang out, do you understand?"

Curry pursed his lips and said no more.

There are all kinds of discussions outside, but Xia Yin's fans are also fighting back. Why shouldn't my brother win the award?Do you want to listen to what you are saying?Gives you a chance to reframe the language.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of buzz on the Internet.

Xia Yin sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not worried at all, and was extremely satisfied with the gift Stern gave him.

He also knew that this might be the last dpoy trophy, and it would be impossible to win it in the future.

However, this is three consecutive dpoy, and it feels great.

"Congratulations, Xia Yin, three consecutive dpoy, you did it!"

Dayao seemed to be in good spirits and was not affected by the defeat in the game, but was a little happy.

"Thank you. Are you ready to return to China now?"

"Well, it's just for the next few days, I have to go back. You know, I have to deal with the trouble, otherwise I will get angry again when you come over, hahaha."

Xia Yin shrugged, "Come to the finals and witness my victory."

"As long as you can reach the finals, to be honest, the Lakers and Thunder are both very strong, so you have to be careful."

Xia Yin smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared. I will definitely win the championship this season!"

"I look forward to that day!"

Dayao is a bit pessimistic about the future of the Warriors. After all, the Warriors are still too young. In one or two years, no one will doubt whether the Warriors can win the championship.

However, Xia Yin is not the kind of person who follows the rules step by step. If he wants to create a brilliant career, every second counts and he must miss every season.

As Zhang Ailing said, you should become famous as early as possible. Competitive sports are very cruel. Stars can still bloom in their 40s, but after the age of 40 or even after 35, the career of a star will be over.

In this short career of more than ten years, he must strive for every season. He has been in the league for 4 seasons and has had no results in 2 seasons.

He couldn't bear that he had to wait any longer.

Fight, must fight!
At this time, the best defensive team was also announced.

First team: Shayne, Tony Allen, James, Ibaka, Howard.

Sadly, Paul was pushed out of the defensive lineup again, and Kobe finally withdrew from the lineup.

Defensive second team: Kobe, Tyson Chandler, Luol Deng, Garnett, Rondo.

From this lineup, it can be seen that it is mainly concentrated in the Warriors, Grizzlies, Heat, Thunder, Lakers, Bulls and Celtics.

These teams are indeed very good defensively this season.

It is true that defense wins championships. Every championship team has players on the best defensive team.
