i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 74 [Failure always runs through life]

"Don't put too much pressure on me. You are already very good for getting here. I believe you will be even better in the future!"

After Kate inoculated Xia Yin to avoid losing to the Lakers, Xia Yin was devastated.

Although she knew that Xia Yin couldn't, she still said this, mainly to comfort Xia Yin. After all, Xia Yin hasn't lost much since he became famous.

Xia Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and I'm also very strong!"

Thalia raised her small hand, "Come on Xia Yin, kill the little snake!"

Lisa also blinked and looked at him, "Come on, I believe in you, show them how powerful you are."

Xia Yin nodded, "The pressure is indeed great. The Lakers are very strong, but they are dreaming if they want to easily pass us!"

Xia Yin turned to look at the bench over there, and Kobe also turned to look at Xia Yin at this time, his eyes were cold.

Ignoring his provocation, Xia Yin was ready to play.

Not only did he have a lot of strength after adding points, but he also had a new surprise.

That is, after winning the best rookie, a new badge is obtained, which is a newly unlocked badge after winning the best rookie.

You must know that every badge can bring a great improvement to Xia Yin's strength, and this badge is for shooting, so it is even stronger, but Xia Yin got it too late.

[Hot Zone Hunter]: Increases hot zone hit rate by 5%
This badge is divided into 10 hot zones:
Left bottom corner, right bottom corner, arc top, left arc top,

Top of the right arc, left of the free throw line, right of the free throw line,

Paint area, low position on the left side of the paint area, low position on the right side of the paint area
Among these 10 hot zones, you need to hit 100 goals in each hot zone in the official game to be officially unlocked.

10 positions equals 1000 balls.

It's a pity that Xia Yin didn't get the badge at the beginning of the season. If it was the beginning of the season, he would be able to meet the requirements in at least a few hot spots.

You must know that this is not the 3-minute Ultraman badge like [Psycho Knife], nor is it the badge of [Big Heart] that stacks up one goal per game.

[Hot Zone Hunter] is like [Defense Expert], as long as you can unlock the requirements, you can always enjoy the halo badge with bonus effects.

If they can all be unlocked, it means that they can enjoy a 5% shooting attribute bonus within half the court, which is terrifying.

At the critical moment, he opened three badges at the same time, which was a 25% improvement in shooting attributes, which was simply terrifying.

Calculated based on his 80 attributes for layups, 81 attributes for mid-range shots, and 83 attributes for three-pointers. After the addition, he has 100 layups, 101.25 mid-range shots, and 103.75 three-pointers.

Although these attributes do not represent the final hit rate, Xia Yin is confident that when the three badges are turned on, his hit rate can reach over 70%, or even higher.

But the most important thing here is the [Big Heart] badge, which accumulates one chance to use it every game. There are 1 regular season games in a season, and there are only 82 games in 4 rounds including the playoffs and finals. This is still a full game. .

You can get the [Big Heart] badge up to 110 times in a season, but if you really wait until it’s time to use it, why don’t you use it more than 20 times in one game?
In just one round of playoffs, all the usage times can be used up.

But if the number of uses is used on the tip of the knife, and it is only used 5 or 6 times in a game, it can basically cover the entire playoffs.

Sometimes, some games are just a few points away, and that little chance can win.

However, even without the [Big Heart] badge, there is still a 3% shooting attribute bonus within the 15-minute bonus of [Nervous Knife].

Calculated according to his current attributes, that is 92 layups, 93.15 mid-range shots, and 95.45 three-pointers, which is also very scary.

Even with only the bonus of [Hot Zone Hunter], under normal conditions, his attributes have been greatly improved. Calculated based on the current attributes, that is 84 layups, 85.05 mid-range shots, and 87.15 three-pointers.

When his attribute is raised to above 90 in the future, this badge that can increase the audience can play a greater role.

But it's a pity that he hasn't unlocked a hot zone yet.

Xia Yin was very glad that he could get such a terrifying badge, but unfortunately he got it too late. Even if this badge is effective, it will be next season.

Now he also has 18 uses of the [Big Heart] badge. This round of the game against the Lakers must be fully invested, and he is ready.

[Defensive Expert] Originally, he was 105 experience points short of being upgraded to the master level, but after reaching the Western Conference Finals, he was now only 62 points short.

After this round of the Western Conference Finals, we only have about 30 to 40 points of experience left at most to be able to level up, but it's still not enough.

"They're all just a little bit different, but they still don't have enough foundation!"

But even so, Xia Yin wanted to talk about it after the fight.

A whistle blows and the game begins.

Xia Yin mainly defends Kobe, and he is also the most suitable person for the Suns to defend Kobe. Who else can they pull out besides him?

"Xia Yin, that's it. I'm very happy that you can make it to the Western Conference Finals, but that's it."

Xia Yin said nothing, staring closely at Kobe's shoulders, spreading his hands to concentrate on defense.

Seeing that Xia Yin ignored him, Kobe was not annoyed, and he also tensed up, wanting to use all his strength to defeat this brat.

We need to let him know that I, Kobe, am the strongest player in the league, and the future belongs to me and the Lakers.

[Your contract with the Suns will expire next year. When I beat you again, you will realize that only I can lead you to the championship. Come to the Lakers! 〕

To say that Kobe and the Lakers are not greedy for Xia Yin is simply lying with their eyes open.

Shane can now play the two positions of point guard and small forward. If Shane can come to the Lakers, with his defense and three-pointers, Kobe will be able to liberate a lot, and the Lakers will be even stronger.

More importantly, Kobe really admires Xia Yin. He is not young anymore. A few years later, when Kobe is a little older, Xia Yin will have grown up by then. Wouldn't it be just right to succeed him?
This is simply the most perfect solution!
Therefore, Kobe must use his strongest strength to defeat Xia Yin and the Suns, so that Xia Yin can recognize the reality and come to the Lakers earlier.

When thinking about the future with Gasol on the inside and Chaine on the outside, Kobe couldn't contain his excitement.

Xia Yin's defense is very strong, he has always known it, but is it too difficult to deal with?
After finally getting some space, Kobe took a backward shot. The arc of his backward shot was too big. When he landed, he had to take several steps back to stabilize his body.

But the basketball obediently hit the basket, and Kobe immediately gained confidence, "See? Shane, you can't beat me. The Lakers are very strong, and the Suns still need to work hard."

In the next round, Shain hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, giving Kobe a powerful counterattack.

Kobe held his breath, and forced Xia Yin to rush inside. The two of them used elbows while competing.

Especially when Shane hit Kobe's ribs with an elbow, Kobe endured the pain and made a layup, "Hiss~ha! Shane, you can't stop me, I will win!"

Xia Yin had already rushed to the backcourt, and Kobe was so angry that his face almost changed shape behind him.

After the layup and mid-range shooting attributes reach 80, Xia Yin's breakthrough has become a certain threat, which greatly increases his role.

But the time was too short, so Xia Yin had no good way to quickly bring out his extra strength.

But even so, it caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers. The score increased alternately, and the Lakers did not have the upper hand.

The game lasted until the end of the third quarter, when Kobe suddenly broke out and scored 9 points on 9-of-24 shooting in one quarter.

This could be regarded as opening the score, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xia Yin activated the [Nervous Knife] badge and started chasing points. Within 3 minutes, he scored 7 points on 5 of 14 shots.

But when the Suns reached the fourth quarter, they suddenly felt cold. With only Xia Yin struggling to support them, how could they beat the rising Lakers?

With only the last 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score of the two teams had reached 11 points. Nash missed a three-pointer, which completely ruined the Suns' chance of winning.

The last three minutes were like a blacksmith match between the two teams, one against the other. In the last few dozen seconds, Xia Yin hit a three-pointer, reducing the score to 3 points.

But it didn't help, the Lakers won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

After winning the game, but his whole body was sore, Kobe endured the pain and walked up to Shain, "I told you, I will win!"

Xia Yin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You're talking non-stop in this game, are you annoying?"

Kobe held the breath until it reached his throat and almost choked to death.

[You also know how annoying it is?Then when you talked trash to me before, why didn't you say you were annoyed? 〕

"Why don't you just win a game? Make it look like you won the championship. Can you be more mature, Kobe? How old are you? You are still like a child. No wonder Shaq fell out with you."

"Oh, by the way, Shaq was very happy in the Suns. He said I was the best teammate he had ever had."

Kobe was struck by lightning, O'Neill, that's not what you said before, you guy actually lied to me?
"Kobe, I'm only in my first year. I scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in today's game. What statistics did you have in your first year? It must be very good, right? Hee hee!"

Looking at Xia Yin with a smile on his face, Kobe clenched his fists. This guy really wanted to punch him in the face.

What you say is so irritating. Is there anyone who talks like that?

Kobe thought that in his first playoff game, he only scored a total of 74 points, and this guy scored 37 points in just one game, and he suddenly felt empty inside.

It's boring, really boring.

[Why should I provoke him? I knew this guy wouldn't say anything nice, but I still went. I really owe it! 〕

Xia Yin ignored Kobe, turned around and left after speaking.

The defeat in today's game was just a little bit close, not much, just 8 points.

But it was lost.

After the loss, the team locker room was silent.

Nash's performance was not good today either, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, who are you going to show me this dead look? If you lose, you lose, and you just win the next game. Leave the next game to me, and I'll take you to win!"

"The Lakers are not that strong. They just have a tacit understanding and are more successful in their tactics. We have a great chance. Don't be discouraged. Keep your spirits up. Leave the next game to me and I will lead you to win!"

Gentry stood at the door of the locker room, and the rhetoric he had thought up in his mind suddenly became useless.

He is even more satisfied with Shain. Such a player is simply the best gift from God to the Suns.

Nash also stood up at this time, "It's just a game. We just have to win it next time. Let's work hard together!"

Xia Yin is really not just talking.

In the second game between the Lakers and the Suns, Shain scored 41 points in a single game and led the Suns to a 5-point victory over the Lakers.

The total score came to 1:1.

But his [Big Heart] only has 5 uses left.

But in the blink of an eye, the game returned to the American Airlines Center Arena in Phoenix. The Lakers won two games in a row. The total score came to 2:3. The Suns were already standing on the edge of the cliff.

Just lose one more game and you can go home and fish.

But Xia Yin didn't believe in evil, so in the fifth game, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Xia Yin bet everything.

本场比赛夏因砍下了50分3篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽，他所有的精力都放在了得分上。

Even though Kobe Bryant scored 42 points, the Suns still defeated the Lakers by 7 points and refused to go home.

The total score came to 3:2.

Game [-] will be played again at Staples Arena.

Coming to Staples again, Xia Yin was full of emotions.

However, no amount of emotion can offset the exhaustion of ammunition and food.

He has no hole cards. After 5 games, everyone in the Suns is also exhausted. It is not easy to play against the Lakers.

In this game, the Lakers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game from the beginning. Until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Suns fell behind by 15 points, and Gentry made substitutions and admitted defeat.

The Suns' playoff journey ends here.

With a total score of 4:2, the Lakers advanced to the finals.

"Haha, as I said, I will win the final victory, and the Lakers will enter the Finals. Shane, come to the Lakers!"

Looking at the sweaty Kobe, Xia Yin rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him. This guy played 6 games and was verbose for 6 games. I wonder if he will be dry after the game?
"You think too much, Kobe, I will beat you. You'd better win the championship. If you don't win the championship, I will contact the major media in the United States and start mocking you, hum!"

After saying that, Xia Yin turned around and left, leaving Kobe with a gloomy and ever-changing expression.

Back in the locker room, Xia Yin took a shower and changed and went straight to the press conference, leaving behind a group of dejected guys in the locker room.

"Xin, what do you think about losing the Western Conference Finals?"

Shain was silent for a while and said, "After the game, my mind went blank, and I thought of my college coach Ben Holland, and college teammates Westbrook and Kevin Love.

The thing they always say to me, they always say: Shane, if only you had played basketball a year earlier, we would have won the championship.

At this moment, just like that moment, maybe my teammates in the future will also say, Shane, if only you could be stronger then, maybe we can win the championship that year. "

"But when I think about it carefully, failure always runs through life. Regret is the norm. This is life."

Xia Yin said categorically, "Maybe you will say that when you lose, everything you say is an excuse.

It doesn't matter, I will prove myself.

I will not look back at the past, I will only look forward to the future, I will take back what I have lost with my own hands. "

"If you ask me about the future, I will tell you, yes, we will win it back next year and I will bring the championship to Phoenix!"

"I promise!"
