i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 70 [End of regular season]

09年4月16日，最后一场常规赛打完，08～09赛季常规赛彻底结束。

Five days later, that is, on April 5, the playoffs will kick off. 4 teams will fight together for the playoffs and compete for the final championship trophy.

The Suns had a smooth start to the season, and were even aiming for the best start in team history. However, injuries ruined this best start. After sustaining injuries to Stoudemire and Hill, the Suns' record began to fluctuate. .

After the All-Star break, Hill returned but was in poor condition, and it was not until April that his condition recovered.

Even if Stoudemire can return immediately, or even be able to play and adapt to the game in the first round of the playoffs, no one can say what his state will be like.

This has cast a shadow over the Suns' playoff prospects, but this season's hard work will always have a result.

The Suns have 50 wins and 32 losses this season, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. This is the result of careful design.

The first place in the Western Conference this season is naturally the brave and diligent Lakers. After getting Gasol, they broke into the finals last year, but lost to the Celtics in the yellow-green game.

This year's Lakers are even stronger, with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking second in the league. The first place is naturally the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.

James is always so brave in the regular season. The Cavaliers' regular season record in recent years has never been bad. They won 64 wins and 18 losses, ranking first in the league.

For this reason, James' mvp ranking has always been in the first position. Not surprisingly, he will definitely win his first heavyweight trophy-regular season mvp this year!

There are also the Celtics with 60 wins in the East and the Magic with 58 wins. These are the only three teams in the East that can win 50 wins. The Eagles, the fourth in the East, only have 45 wins.

The second place in the Western Conference is the Nuggets that sold off Iverson. After the introduction of Billups, the Nuggets finally evolved this season, and finally have a commander who can make the Nuggets' offense and defense It became organized.

The Spurs ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses, and the Trail Blazers also had 53 wins, but because of the relationship between wins and losses, the Blazers had no choice but to rank fourth.

Mosaic is fifth in the Western Conference, with 52 wins and 30 losses. Mosaic's ability to achieve this record is entirely due to the efforts of Dayao and role players.

As we all know, Mosaic's role players are always able to exude unique brilliance. This record is also the position that Mosaic has stayed in all year round. It is very unique and always keeps up.

The sixth team in the Western Conference is the Mavericks. The driver is still carrying a heavy load, but the Mavericks are almost full of character, waiting to explode, but not now, they still need to wait.

The seventh in the Western Conference is naturally the Phoenix Suns, and the eighth is the Hornets led by Paul. They have won 45 wins and 37 losses this season. They are also the only team among the 8 teams in the Western Conference playoffs that have not won more than 50 games. Team.

In the previous life, the Hornets were seventh, facing the Nuggets, and then created a tragedy of 58 points in one game.

Now that the Nuggets are facing the Suns, Xia Yin wants to see if the 58-point tragedy will happen again?
The Suns made thousands of choices and selected the Nuggets in the first round. The Nuggets are indeed very strong, but if you really want to say how much better than the Suns, that's not necessarily true.

You know, NBA teams also have mutual generation and restraint.

"If we pass the Nuggets, we will face the Mavericks in the second round, and we will not meet the Lakers until the Western Conference Finals. The further we go in the playoffs, the more experience we can accumulate.

Our young players can get exercise. Even if they don't make it to the finals, at least they can gain something, right? "

Xia Yin's words gave the wavering coaching staff a definite "answer". Indeed, this is the best arrangement.

If you can break into the finals, then try your best to compete for the championship, if not, you can also train young players.

Choosing the Nuggets will not only allow the Suns to avoid the Lakers in the first two rounds, but also avoid the Spurs. You must know that the Spurs are the Suns' sufferer. It is best to avoid them or try to avoid them as much as possible.

Xia Yin didn't want to be scolded for not pulling a certain hero.

After deciding to play against the Nuggets in the first round, the coaching staff began to prepare how to cross the threshold of the Nuggets more than a week in advance.

At the same time, Shine is sorting out his own gains this season, starting with the badge.

Needless to say, the [Psychic Knife] badge is a non-upgradeable badge, but this badge helps him a lot when his skills are not good at this stage.

The [Big Heart] badge can accumulate 1 shot per game, but he also used this badge many times during the season.

However, after the All-Star Game ended, Xia Yin began to consciously save more points for use in the playoffs.

Now that the regular season is over, Xia Yin has accumulated a total of 30 uses, which is very rare.

[Defense expert] badge, Xia Yin has been upgraded to the diamond level, and is currently 105 experience points away from the master level. Not surprisingly, there should be no way to upgrade to the master level this season.

But just at the current diamond level, Xia Yin has already enjoyed a 7% defensive attribute bonus.

His current single defense and assist defense are both 80, and after the addition, the individual defense and assist defense are 85.6.

Coupled with his strong physical fitness, this is a magic weapon for Shane to gain a foothold in the Suns this season.

However, after [Defense Expert] is upgraded to the master level, it will give a 10% bonus to the defensive attribute. This badge is a halo-type badge, the kind that takes effect passively.

This kind of badge is the best badge. You can see the true meaning in the silent place, and it still has such a powerful effect.

Xia Yin was quite satisfied with the badge. After seeing the badge, he turned his head to look at the statistics he got this season.

This season, Xia Yin has played a total of 75 games, with an average playing time of 28 minutes per game, and can get the following statistics per game:
20.58分5.1助攻5.2篮板1.6抢断1.8盖帽。

本赛季常规赛，夏因一共拿到了1544分383助攻390篮板120抢断135盖帽。

And his biggest competitor, Rose, averaged 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists this season.

At the same time, Rose led the Bulls to the playoffs with the seventh record in the Eastern Conference, which is seventh in the division just like the Suns.

Now in the competition for the best rookie, Xia Yin is leading, but the lead is not large. After all, the two have different statuses in their respective teams.

But Xia Yin also has advantages. There are only three people in history who can average 20+5+5 per game as a rookie.

The first two are Robertson and Jordan. The closest one is also the third person in history to achieve this statistic. They are called James, and Shain is the fourth person in history to achieve this.

If there is no Shayne, Tyreke Evans will do it next year and become the fourth rookie in history to get 20+5+5.

Such data, coupled with Shain's low pick, offset a lot of Rose's advantages. It all depends on their performance in the playoffs, especially the first round.

Xia Yin put down the phone, closed his eyes and thought.

Honor, extra points, explosion...can you make it to the end?
Thinking of Xia Yin himself, he shook his head. Unless he was given hundreds of attribute points at once, it would be difficult to play a greater role in a short time.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, Xia Yin looked at the text message on the phone, it was from Kobe.

【Xia Yin, I'm waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals! 】
