I really play basketball

Chapter 124 The end of the regular season

虽然得到了46分，还有8个篮板9个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽。

However, Lin Xing couldn't lock the headlines of the next day as Xiao Chong said, because there was someone who was more crazy than him.

On April 1994, 4, the last day of the regular season, the Spurs vs. Clippers.

Before the game, the Sharks ranked first with an average of 81 points per game in 29.34 games.

And "Admiral" David Robinson averaged 79 points per game in 29.27 games, ranking second.

The Sharks have finished all their regular season games, and the admiral only has this last game left.

In order to snatch the crown of scoring champion from the Sharks who did not deal with him, David Robinson started his battle of scoring.

From the beginning of the game, the whole Spurs fed him the ball frantically, and the general also used his signature tentative step jumper, hitting one shot after another.

The Clippers are already weak and have no way to resist.

Although the game soon ran out of garbage time, the admiral still played from the beginning to the end of the game.

The honest Clippers were so annoyed that they didn't hesitate to pay for fouls to stop the admiral.

As a result of the foul, the general scored more and more points.

After all, a foul is equal to a free throw, and the general's free throw is not the shark's free throw.

The Clippers sent him to the free throw line, which was tantamount to helping him score.

If it was a shark, this point would really be impossible.

The Clippers should have never expected that they were forced to operate in a hurry and inadvertently stabbed the shark.

But to say that the Clippers are honestly a bit too much.

After being so humiliated, what about the foul?

If it were other bad-tempered villains in the NBA, such as a certain Lin, he would have lifted the general away from the court long ago.

Of course, there are no ifs in all of this. If it is a certain university and a certain forest, the general will have no chance to score points.

What is different from the original history is that the admiral in this life scored two more points.

He scored 73 points and raised his scoring average to 29.81 points per game, surpassing the Sharks.

This matter, Lin Xing is also belatedly aware.

In the post-match interview, Marv Albert mentioned——

"You scored 46 points in this game, but this is not the highest score in the NBA today. David Robinson scored 73 points in the game against the Clippers. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Marv Albert originally thought that Lin Xing would boast a few generals. After all, this was 73 points in a single game, on par with David Thompson, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's scoring performance.

But what Albert didn't know was that Lin Xing was a time traveler.

Although he didn't watch the game, he could guess how ugly such a game would be.

Facing the camera, Lin Xing was not polite:

"I probably know what's going on, but with all due respect, he is racking up points, shamelessly racking up points, just for the crown of scoring champion.

To be honest, I look down on him very much. In this game, he neither respected his opponents nor his teammates. What he disrespected even more was basketball! "

Albert was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Xing not only didn't brag, but also relegated the admiral to the dust.

This……

If it was a private interview, he would definitely ask Lin Xing:
Are you sure you want to answer that?Do you want to change it?
But at this moment, the camera of the national live broadcast was aimed at the center of the court.

Lin Xing's every word was broadcast through the broadcast, and spread out immediately.

The fans in front of the TV all had the same expression——

"Damn it, Star is firing!"

Although they were all surprised, they were not terrified.

On the contrary, everyone has an expression that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

On the one hand, he sighed: Si Da is really tough!
While waiting for the Spurs side, the general's response.

But before the general responded, Lin Xing first received a call from Shark.

"Si Da, you are too daring to speak, and you are too good at speaking. Every word of yours speaks to my heart!"

Sharks definitely feel the deepest about this. After all, the admiral's pass is his scoring leader.

Although the Sharks have no shortage of scoring champions in their careers, this scoring champion means a lot to him.

You must know that this season, the Sharks are only in the second grade, and the scoring leader in the second grade has a completely different meaning.

"You're so right, but it's not hot enough. If you want me to say it, I would say that David Robinson is a bitch who is disrespectful. He bullied me, a young boy..."

The next hundred or so words that popped out of the shark's mouth, combined together, can be described by the four words "unbearable".

Lin Xing could only say that the shark was really out of breath.

After all, it is already an established fact that the general scored 73 points, and the fact that the Sharks were robbed of the scoring champion has already been concluded.

The current shark can't do much except spout a few words angrily.

The next day, the general responded to Lin Xing, mainly because Lin Xing's coffee position is different now.

If you rank the NBA players this season, and Lin Xing ranks in the top ten, there is no problem at all.

A top ten star in the league mercilessly criticizes himself in public. If he doesn't stand up and respond with a few words, will he still be an admiral?

"It is very difficult to get 73 points. It also needs absolute scoring ability to support. Some kid, even if he is given a chance to score, he will not be able to score 73 points."

The admiral's response was like a banner, standing in place.

Lin Xing didn't say any more, it wasn't that he was cowardly, but——

He has always believed in speaking with facts, only 73 points, and when he breaks this 73 points, he will stand up and respond to the general.

And, without him responding:
On the second day of the game, although the admiral stole the headlines, almost all the reports criticized the admiral.

"Do whatever it takes to be the leading scorer? David Robinson hurt basketball."

"Forcibly scoring points in the last game, remembering the lowest scoring championship in NBA history."

"Shaquille O'Neal: All I can say is, Starr is right."

(Lin Xing with a question mark face: You didn’t just say these two sentences when you called me.)
"Charles Barkley: David is so cheap, if I were him, I wouldn't do it."

Chicago, the middle-aged black man with a less out-of-shape figure, also commented in private——

"This time, Stalin was right, David Robinson hurt basketball..."

"I don't understand. It's just a scoring champion. Doesn't he have a scoring champion? Oh, he really doesn't."

"But seriously, he's serious about being an MVP. Doesn't he have an MVP? Well, he doesn't..."

"Well, I can understand, but if you ask me to do such a thing, I can't do it."

The bald-headed white man on the side listened to his evaluation of this matter, and suddenly brought up a very sensitive topic——

"Mike, I found out..."

"Found what?"

"I found that during this time you paid close attention to basketball."

"I pay attention to basketball? Do you?"

"Of course there is!"

"That's just your illusion."

"No, it's definitely not an illusion, Mike, during this time, as long as the Warriors' games are broadcast live across the United States, you will definitely be sitting in front of the TV.

What's more, your training has become harder and more intense during this time. "

The middle-aged black man spread his hands: "Please, I'm a baseball player now, okay? Isn't it normal for baseball players to participate in daily training?"

"Must I expose you, Michael?"

The bald white man shook his head: "Do you think I don't know your attitude towards baseball? If it's just for baseball, you will never be as serious as you are now.

Tell me, do you want to come back. "

"Stop being funny!" The middle-aged black man suddenly raised his voice, "Come back? How is that possible!

Now that I have decided to retire, I will never come back!Am I the repetitive type? "

Hearing the decisive answer from the middle-aged black man, the bald white man was silent for a while.

Finally, he said leisurely:
"If you want to come back, you'd better inform me in advance, I need to do some preparations."

"Don't worry, I will..."

……

No one knows what happened in Chicago. After all, at this time, what everyone cares more about is the current season without Danzi.

The regular season is over, the Warriors won 60 wins, but they are still third in the Western Conference.

Because of the overhead, there are the Rockets with 63 wins and the Sonics who lost the last game of the season and only got 62 wins.

The three teams won 60, and the record of the top three in the Western Conference is really good, which is a bit outrageous.

But just look at the record in the Western Lottery——

The Mavericks won 13 games in one season, and the Timberwolves won 20 games in one season.

The Kings and the Clippers won 28 games and 27 games. In addition, the Lakers were worse than the original history, winning only 30 games.

Doesn't the top three record in the Western Conference mean that all boats will rise when the tide rises?
The conclusion of the regular season has been concluded, and what everyone is concerned about is the ownership of the major awards in the regular season.

The league likes to whet the appetite, so the major awards in the regular season will not be awarded until after the playoffs start.

But this does not prevent expert reporters, ball critics and NBA fans from making predictions in advance.

“火箭是常规赛第一，大梦场均27.3分11.9个篮板3.6个助攻1.6个抢断和3.7个盖帽，MVP稳了！”

"Dpoy is still a bit suspenseful. The dream is second in blocks and fourth in rebounds. The data has a great advantage, but Patrick Ewing has a team bonus and has a chance to compete."

“最佳新秀没有悬念，出战了74场比赛，场均25.5分8.9个篮板7.4个助攻2.6个抢断0.8个盖帽，斯大已经锁定了这座奖杯。”

Except for these three most-watched trophies, the best sixth man basically belongs to Curry's father, and has nothing to do with Lin Xing.

The Most Improved Player Award has something to do with Lin Xing——

One is because of his existence, leading Weber to go to the bullet.

As a result, the Bullet's original main power forward Don McLaren failed to become the main force, and the Most Improved Player had to change hands.

The second is because of Lin Xing, who caused Barkley to miss more than two months of games due to injury, which led to more opportunities for Cedric Ceballos on the Suns side.

He played far beyond last season's performance, basically locked the most improved player award.

As far as the best coach is concerned, Rudy Tomjanovich has the greatest chance, but it does not rule out the awards of Nelson Sr., Lenny Wilkens and Phil Jackson.

George Carr: What about me?

That's right, just one win away, George Karl isn't even a favorite.

The trophy of the best coach is either given to the head coach with the best record, or to the team with the most improved team.

Tang Shuai has the best record, and Old Nelson and Lenny Wilkens have made great progress in leading the team.

Old Nelson is okay to say, after all, the Warriors' lineup has changed this season.

With Lin Xing joining, the Warriors have progressed from the lottery last season to the third place in the Western Conference this season, which is understandable.

The Eagles' lineup hasn't changed at all. With a new coach, they have improved from 43 wins last season to 57 wins this season.

As for Phil Jackson, considering that without Jordan, the Bulls still rank among the top three in the Eastern Conference.

Pippen has also been directly exposed by Lin Xing's abuse. Everyone understands that the Bulls' top three in the Eastern Conference all depend on Zen Master.

In this case, Zen Master is naturally one of the popular candidates.

George Karl is non-stick, his record is not the best, let alone the progress of leading the team.

After all, last season, the Sonics had 55 wins, ranking among the top three in the Western Conference.

The best manager has something to do with the Warriors——

On the one hand, the Warriors' five-for-one Harlem Star deal is really too generous.

On the other hand, the vast majority of teams in the NBA have made no big moves this season.

The only eagle with a big move, sent away Dominique Wilkins, got Danny Manning, and was scolded.

The Warriors' big move was not only not scolded, but also praised.

This best manager can be said to be a certainty.

Unfortunately, the general manager of the Warriors is also Nelson Sr.

So in this wave, the old Nelson is likely to be the best coach and best manager.

What Lin Xing is more concerned about is that, apart from the best rookie who is no longer in suspense, how to prevent him from being stable.

In terms of stability, he should be stable in the first round. After all, with the data of 25+8+7+2, even if he is only ranked by the scoreboard, he should also enter the first round.

Not to mention, the top five or three centers in the scoring list, and an average Wilkins with a record on both sides.

Even if ranked by power forward position, Lin Xing's team is no problem.

The first defense is not so stable, although in the second half of the season, he blocked a lot of shots.

But in the end, he still failed to break 1, mainly because he blocked too few shots in the first half of the season, which greatly lowered the average.

If he competes for the first defense at the forward position, he needs to face competition from Pippen, Oakley, Rodman and Horace Grant.

Don't look at Pippen being beaten by Lin Xing to show his true colors, but the so-called true colors actually refer to Pippen's offense.

Defense or something, Pippen still can't question it.

It can be said that Pippen has already reserved the position of a forward and first defense.

The other is the competition between Lin Xing and Rodman, Oakley, and Horace Grant.

Lin Xing's disadvantage is that his rebounds are not as good as these three, and the team's defensive data is not as good as these three.

The advantage is that his matchup defense data is very impressive, and he has the top three steals in the league.

With both good and bad, Lin Xing still has a little chance.

If you compete at the guard position...emmm...no if.

Although Lin Xing has always regarded himself as a point guard, from the perspective of the All-Stars, the league's positioning of Lin Xing is undoubtedly a forward.

Lin Xing analyzed for a while, and felt that his chances were quite high.

After all, the performance of matchup defense is there, as well as the steal bonus of the top three in the league, and the rebounds are not too small.

But after a while, I felt that my chances were not that great.

The main reason is that the defensive data of the Warriors team is too hip and too slow.

After analyzing back and forth for a while, Lin Xing felt that he was a little smart.

Shaking his head, he simply gave up the analysis and focused on the upcoming playoffs.

To talk about the playoffs, we have to start with the regular season record——

In the West, in addition to the first three or three 60 wins, the fourth Spurs also won 55 wins.

The fifth and sixth are the Jazz with 52 wins and the Suns with 51 wins.

The Warriors' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the 51-win Suns.

The 2-2 direct match record in the regular season seems to show that this group of playoffs is full of suspense.

Compared with the original history line, the seventh and eighth are also different.

Perhaps it is the reason why the Warriors killed the Trail Blazers four times. The Trail Blazers only won 44 this season.

The Nuggets' record is even slightly better. They won 45 wins and ranked seventh.

So in the West, the matchup in the first round of the playoffs is——

Rockets vs Trail Blazers, Sonics vs Nuggets, Warriors vs Suns and Spurs vs Jazz.

In the East, from first to eighth are the Eagles, Knicks, Bulls, Magic, Cavaliers, Pacers, Nets and Heat.

So the matchup for the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs is --

Eagles vs Heat, Knicks vs Nets, Bulls vs Pacers and Magic vs Cavaliers.

There are a total of [-] teams and eight groups of duels. The fans have been looking forward to it.

Lin Xing is also looking forward to it. On the one hand, this is the first playoff in his career.

On the other hand, the playoffs will be an upgraded version of the regular season, and the blood value should be more.

Before the playoffs officially started, Lin Xing entered the system once.

Mainly because he took a look at the main quests in the system. He thought that the regular season was over, and the main quest: the debut season should be settled, but it didn't.

"That means the playoffs are also included?"

Lin Xing shook his head. The fact that this task was not completed meant that before the playoffs, it was impossible for him to improve any more.

He can only start thinking about his opponents in the playoffs——

It is not difficult to play the Suns first in the first round.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the difficulty is not that the Warriors will definitely win the Suns.

Rather, the Suns don't have a defensive style of play, and they don't have a big center, so there are very few restrictions on Lin Xing.

More importantly, Lin Xing has a great psychological advantage against Barkley.

"Work hard and make a good start!"

……

Phoenix, at the end of the regular season and when the playoff matchup table was released, Barkley's expression was very serious, just like the serious expression he had when he threw a basketball at the Sharks.

It's not a lie, the main reason is that Barkley now, whenever he thinks of Lin Xing, he feels an unbearable pain in his crotch.

"I'd rather face that stupid Karl Malone in the first round, than face that old bastard Stalin in the first round..."

But the opponent has already been decided, and no matter how much you think about it, you can't change the fact that Lin Xing will be played in the first round. Barkley can only choose to accept it.

But before starting Oakland, he found the head coach Paul Westphal——

"Hey, Paul, I wanted to talk to you about the first-round matchups in the playoffs..."

"..."

After a while—

"Well, I see what you mean, Charles, you don't want to go up against Star, do you?"

Upon hearing Westphal's presumptuous guess, Barkley immediately shook his head: "No, no, Paul, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, I need to focus on offense, so the task of defending Stalin can be handed over to other people."

"On the offensive end, you hope that your teammates can provide some pick-and-roll help, but the problem is, we don't mainly play pick-and-roll?"

"Look, Paul, the pick-and-roll will help me avoid Stallion..."

"Isn't that why you don't want to play against Star?"

"No, no, Paul, you don't just look at the surface, you have to look behind it."

"What's behind it?"

"Switches on the defensive end, and pick-and-rolls on the offensive end, can greatly reduce my pressure..."

"Charles, I can only say that your idea is very good, but the importance of the playoffs does not allow us to make any new attempts, so..."

What Paul Westphal meant was to refuse. As the number one star in the history of the Suns at this stage, Westphal's authority is still very heavy.

When he refused, Barkley could only shut his mouth and ended the unnecessary struggle.

　The status is still not found, and today is still an update, 5.4k.

　　Give me another day, and tomorrow there will be two updates of more than 8k.
