i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 186 [Breaking the winning streak]

Speaking of the new season, every team is actively preparing for the game.

I have to talk about the Warriors here. Last season, the Warriors experienced a wave of super evolution. After the Warriors won the championship bravely, the value of 3D players in the league rose sharply, and suddenly it became popular. There was a three-point trend in the league. This summer, many players started to Practiced three points.

The small ball era has quietly arrived, and the league has begun to enter a new era. Even the coaches of many teams have listed the three-point tactic as a regular tactic. This is a popular style of play now.

Speaking of which, it's like innovation. With every change, something new will be born, and unless you are so powerful that you can't stop the old thing, it will eventually be defeated by the new thing.

In the past, everyone thought that defense would win the championship, so they should defend with all their strength. This was going to extremes.

Yes, defense does win championships, but the positions of offense and defense are the same, and offense is even the first order. After all, competitive basketball is a scoring game.

And the three-pointer proved what efficient scoring is.

同样是投10个球，你10中6得到12分，60%命中率，可我10中4，40%命中率就能和你得一样的分。

Which one can be achieved quickly, a 2% shooting rate for 60-pointers or a 40% shooting rate for three-pointers?
What about scoring 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting, a 30% three-point shooting rate, many players can do it, it's very simple.

This is the simplest factor.

In addition, the league promotes offensive basketball because the games are good to watch and the fans like them. They are tired of the dull defensive battles. This kind of running and passing three-point defense is very interesting and fast-paced. You can shoot three-pointers quickly. How cool.

Many people have seen this trend, especially after Xia Yin led a group of high-quality role players and several stars to win the championship, it proved that this road can work.

This has activated many role players who are not good at defense but are good at offense. Their salaries have increased by at least half this summer, which is perfect.

The new season is destined to be a testing ground.

But it doesn't matter, the Warriors are already ahead of everyone.

After retiring and winning two championships, Cole became more confident. He studied with Nelson for another year. There is also a pillar like Shain in the team. He is confident to lead the Warriors forward.

And Cole firmly believes that the Warriors must continue to deepen their efforts in small-ball tactics, which can maximize the potential of the players and increase the Warriors' strength.

After discussing with him, Xia Yin thought his method was good and agreed.

In the preseason, the Warriors returned to China to play games, mainly because Xia Yin won the championship and the Olympic gold medal. There is also Allen in the team. If they don't go to China to hang out, it will be like losing money. They can't Bear.

However, speaking of it, this is the first time that a team that won the NBA championship came to China to play preseason games, which is also very good.

The Knicks and Mavericks had a big battle because China played at home. Dayao was the main offensive force of the Mavericks. He scored 34 points and 10 rebounds. He still looked very strong.

Xia Yin changed a lot in the new season, and the preseason was mainly training. He didn't take many shots, but he was more comprehensive. He scored 27 points, 14 assists, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.

Everyone in the game was serving their teammates. After the Warriors really took the shot, three-pointers rained down.

The Mavericks have regressed too obviously. They are going down step by step every year. After winning the championship, it seems that they have no motivation.

The Silver Horn King is just like McGrady. After burning with love for a season, he can no longer cheer up.

But it is understandable, after all, he is old, and the Mavericks lineup is really old and weak. Now is the time for Cuban to create an environment for his beloved Nowitzki to retire with peace of mind.

This environment is perfect for Dayao. Last season, his average data dropped to 17.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

I think it would be good to maintain 15+5 this season.

Dayao's performance in the Olympics was like the burning passion of Silver Horn King, it was the last dance.

A new generation replaces the old!
In late October, returning to Golden State, the Warriors began to prepare for the start of the new season.

Xia Yin has also been paying attention to outside information during this period. Netizens were both looking forward to and disappointed with Xia Yin's performance in the preseason.

Disappointed that he played too little time. He only scored a triple-double in the game against the Mavericks. In other games, he only played for ten minutes and scored in double figures before leaving the game.

The expectation is, of course, what kind of results can the Warriors create this season?Can Xia Yin still break his own record and score high scores in January 13?

There are also many netizens who hope that Xia Yin can score more points and play games with higher statistics. That would be better.

90 marks?Still 100 points?
Xia Yin was also aware of this problem, and he went directly to Cole to discuss it. This issue was very important.

"Cole, now the fans want me to take more shots, what do you think? Will this affect our record?"

Cole didn't answer, just looked at Xia Yin, "Do you want to take more shots? Do you want to get high statistics?"

Xia Yin nodded, "Of course I want to, but it has to be done without affecting the team. In the past two seasons, I took more shots because the team needed me to take action. It's different now."

Cole smiled, feeling very interesting, "So what's different now?"

"Of course it's because Curry, Allen, and Paul George have all grown up, and even Thompson, Matthews, Tucker, and DeAndre Jordan can play a big role..."

After Xia Yin finished speaking, he was stunned. He suddenly understood.

Shaking his head and laughing, "So that's it..."

Cole handed Shane a cup of coffee and sat across from him, "Shaine, sometimes I always think you are a monster. Nothing can stop you from moving forward. You were born to create miracles and conquer the basketball world."

"Now I realize that you are just very talented, but you also have times when you are confused. This is very interesting."

Cole laughed while holding his coffee.

Xia Yin smiled and shook his head, "The authorities are obsessed with me. I subconsciously think they still need me, but the reality is that I have accepted their growth. I understand and there is no confusion anymore."

Cole tapped his fingers on the table, "No, you don't understand yet, Shain, you are good at scoring. It's hard to believe that you scored 66 points in the finals and 60 points in the Olympic finals."

"But, this also had an impact on the judges. You have won the regular season MVP twice in a row. It will be difficult to win this season. You need to change."

"Three consecutive MVP awards are very difficult. You need to show your comprehensiveness. In addition, it is also the team's record."

After Cole finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yin, smiling and saying nothing.

Xia Yin already had the answer in his heart.

"Comprehensive, yes, there are two ways now. One is to win the best record in history, and the other is to average a triple-double per game in the season and try to win as many single attribute data as possible."

"Which path should I choose?"

"If we choose the second path and can still defend the title this season, there will be twists and turns next season. After all, my teammates will have grown even more by then."

"Cole, what do you think of us breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins this season?"

Cole nodded, "Okay, you have the final say. I respect your choice and will do my best for it."

"Aren't you surprised?" Xia Yin asked doubtfully.

"Xia Yin, with you here, I believe we can do anything. As long as you set your goal, we will definitely be able to do it. I believe in you." Cole was like a magic stick.

Xia Yin was speechless. Just now he said that you were also confused sometimes, but now: I believe you, just do whatever you want to do.

It seems that everyone is in the game and gets confused without realizing it. Is this the power of habit and belief?

Xia Yin left Cole with a pure heart.He understood what to do next, not only to establish a dynasty with the Warriors, but also to pursue more honors.

There is also a skill in obtaining honors.

Only by revealing it bit by bit can you gain more. Don’t be afraid that there will always be times when you feel aesthetic fatigue.

"Even if I reduce the number of shots, I am confident that I will win the scoring title. It is just about improving efficiency. 25 shots is enough, and I can also draw fouls and score points. This is also a factor in ensuring average points per game."

"The same goes for my teammates. In addition to outside shots that are not blocked, they must try their best to break through to the basket and score to ensure the hit rate. Their three-pointers are good, but they cannot bet on the three-point hit rate. Only then can they bet on the three-point hit rate. It’s an efficient game.”

Xia Yin suddenly became enlightened.

Ensure the performance of his teammates. After a season of training, they can bring great help to Shain and the team. The Warriors will be in a favorable position in the playoffs.

A few more days passed, and the regular horse racing was about to begin.

Xia Yin invited the whole team to have dinner together.

"Guys, it's a new season. We won the championship last season, but are you satisfied?"

Curry, Shine's number one fan, stood up and said, "I'm not satisfied. After I taste the taste of a championship, I just want to keep winning."

Allen also said, "Defend the title, we must defend the title!"

Xia Yin smiled, "Yes, our goal this season is to defend the title. We have welcomed Ray, Fournier and Anderson. We will be stronger in the new season. Winning the championship is success!"

"let's work hard together!"

"come on!!!"

In the first game of the new season, the Warriors played against the Lakers. This is an old tradition, but although the Lakers look strong now, their strength is limited.

Facing the Warriors who are rising like the morning sun, and the perverted and invincible Xia Yin, it is really a bit powerless.

Xia Yin did not score deliberately in this game. When the opportunity comes, he will score to ensure efficiency. Otherwise, he will pass it to the teammate in the best position, even if he wastes the opportunity.

但是比赛结束的时候，夏因也砍下了25分13篮板9助攻3抢断2盖帽的数据，差一点就能拿到三双。

After the game, Kobe was a little tired and said, "You have grown up again."

"At the Olympics, you didn't have such a strong ability to control the situation. If you had been as strong as you are now at the Olympics, maybe it would have been easier for you to win."

Kobe has already looked away. Anyway, with Durant, James, Paul and others making comparisons, he has completely looked away.

At least he won three consecutive championships and led the team to win the fourth championship.

According to the current development trend of Xia Yin, it will be very difficult for James, Durant and others to win the championship in the future, right?

Xia Yin hugged Kobe and said, "Old guy, you are getting older. Please pay attention to your health and don't get injured. I am still waiting to play with you for a few more years. The league without you will be a lot less fun."

Kobe rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to Xia Yin.

After defeating the Lakers, the Warriors played against the Trail Blazers, Magic, Kings, and Spurs respectively.

"Good shot, the Warriors cooperated very well. They were like a precise clockwork, driving the gear of the Warriors together, bursting out an unprecedented powerful offensive power."

"Xia Yin has a triple-double, haha. He didn't perform very well in today's game, but he got a triple-double without knowing it. His strength has become stronger again."

"What is this called? Hearing thunder in silence, Xia Yin's ability to control the field has obviously increased. He is so comprehensive. Together, Xia Yin is like a monster on the court, unrivaled."

Five consecutive victories, the Warriors easily won five consecutive victories, leading the league, quite relaxed and comfortable.

Xia Yin once again ranked first in the MVP rankings.

Experts and media who previously believed that the Warriors were not good immediately changed their tone. Of course, there were also those who made tough shots and just said that the opponent the Warriors faced was not strong.

This is bullshit. Are the Lakers not strong?With Kobe here, they are still the best in the Western Conference.

Are the Trail Blazers not strong?Although Roy retired, a new successor has arrived, and Aldridge is even more dedicated.

Not strong in magic?The combination of Paul and Howard is like a weakened version of the OK combination. Isn't this strong?
Are the Spurs not strong? The GDP portfolio hasn’t been retired yet.

It's not that they are not strong, it's just that the warriors are stronger.

Shain simply threw these reports into the trash. He could feel that the Warriors were getting better and better at small ball tactics after Ray Allen joined.

After the shooting is really open, no team can be the opponent of the Warriors.

Time flows slowly, one game after another.

When the Warriors won 10 games without losing a single game, the Kwakos showed their strength.

You must know that this is a winning streak at the beginning, which is different from other winning streaks in the regular season.

When the Warriors won 15 games, they tied the opening-season winning streak set by the Capitols and Mosaics in the last century.

This is the first team to reach such a place after entering the new century. It is not easy.

In Game 16, against the Hornets, there was no doubt that the Warriors won easily.

At the same time, he also carried the historical record of winning streak in the opening games in his own pocket. The Warriors are the first in history with this record.

And their journey continues.

During the 20-game winning streak, Shain won the Western Conference Player of the Month for November, and even Allen and Curry for the Warriors were in the top 11 in the mvp rankings.

There are countless people in the league praising the Warriors, and the small ball era is sweeping like a storm.

When the Warriors broke the 22-game winning streak created by Yao in Mosaic, the only thing left in front of them was the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

前世12～13赛季，热火曾在这个赛季拿下27连胜，那是因为他们11～12赛季夺冠了。

But now that he has not won the championship, James has failed in the Olympics.

The Heat's performance in the regular season has been ups and downs, and they should have no chance of winning 27 consecutive games.

But the Warriors got it for them, and the 27th game happened to be against the Heat.

During the game, Xia Yin broke out. This was his first breakout this season. He usually averages about 30 points per game.

However, he has grabbed a lot of rebounds this season. After all, there are people inside to help block positions. Xia Yin knows how to sewer.

Facing the Heat, Xia Yin scored 72 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Warriors successfully won 27 consecutive games.
