I really play basketball

Chapter 131 It's Nice To Be Single
Although it is not surprising that the result of the Western Conference Finals is out, it has even been psychologically prepared.

When it really came to the moment of being eliminated, everyone was still very depressed.

The atmosphere in the locker room was so sluggish that it made people uncomfortable. Even Old Nelson didn't want to speak at this time.

No morale was raised, and the locker room remained silent.

until……

"Why are you all sitting? It's time to go home, guys, or... do you have any special arrangements? Why don't we, Big Bird, walk around?"

It was Madman who made the sound. He was the only one in this locker room, packing his backpack all the time, looking like he was okay.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xing even labeled him as "not very smart".

That's not it, to be able to say "the annual salary is not enough to support a family without tens of millions" must have a brain problem.

"Looks like the one who ordered 'order first' last time is also this guy?"

Lin Xing thought of the last time, he was also a madman, and when everyone summed up their failure experience, he said: let's order first.

"Really big heart!"

But I have to admit that this sentence from the madman directly eased the embarrassment in the locker room.

Xiaochong said: "Get out, you lost the ball and you still have the mind to go around the big bird?"

Chris Gatling also followed up: "That's right, Latrier, you don't reflect on yourself after losing the game. You are the one defending Maxwell in this game, right?"

In G6, "Madman" Maxwell scored 5 three-pointers against the defense of the madman, and his performance was second only to Dameng.

It can be said that the big dream is to play steadily, and Maxwell's three-pointer is the key to killing the Warriors.

"Hey, Chris, don't try to leave the loss to me alone, you're fine, right?"

"So, we are all reflecting!"

"It's useless to think about it. It's better to wash up quickly, go back to each house, and come back next season!"

Don't say it, although the madman's brain is not very good, what he said is very reasonable.

As soon as he interrupted, the atmosphere in the locker room gradually became lively.

Lin Xing shook his head and got into the toilet in the dressing room.

The season is over, and it's time for him to receive the rewards of the main task.

[Main task: The first season has been completed, the system judges the degree of completion: A, rewards are being generated...]

It takes time to generate rewards, and during this time, Lin Xing thought of——

"A, it means there is an S on it?"

He roughly guessed that the S-level completion may include Magic Johnson who won the championship in his rookie season and won the FMVP trophy.

There may also be Wes Unseld who was elected the regular season MVP in his rookie season, and the ancient and inhuman Chamberlain, who was also a strongman who became the MVP of the season in his rookie season.

Based on this calculation, it is quite reasonable for Lin Xing to get an A.

After squatting for a while, the system gave a response, and the reward came out——

[[-]. Rewards for completion level C and above: [-] million blood points. 】

[90. Rewards for completion level B and above: 99 point for 1 to [-] attribute points. 】

[[-]. Rewards for completion level A and above: choose one of the following badges:]

[1. Emblem: Ten cents, the pass of the host can slightly increase the shot hit rate of the receiver (related attribute: pass). 】

[2. Emblem: Rebound machine, improve the host's sensitivity to judge the rebounding point (related attribute: offensive rebound or defensive rebound). 】

[3. Badge: pick-and-roll scorer, slightly increase the host's shooting percentage after pick-and-roll cuts (near or mid-range shots or three-pointers). 】

"It's still divided into stages..."

Through these three system prompts, Lin Xing can know that if the completion degree is D level, he will not have any rewards.

The degree of completion varies from C to A, and the rewards are also different.

The C-level reward, 80 million blood points, wasn't even enough for him to raise the three points to [-].

But if you add the bloody value obtained in the playoffs——

The bloody value of the playoffs is indeed much higher than that of the regular season.

Of the five playoff games against the Suns, one was a bloody value of 900 million.

The five playoff games against the Nuggets are slightly less than the Suns, but one game also has 700 million.

The six playoff games against the Rockets are surprisingly a little less than the Suns, but more than the Nuggets, with an average of about 800 million per game.

In the 16 playoff games, Lin Xing got a total of more than 2000 million blood points.

Adding the 2 million blood value rewarded by the C-level, that is more than [-] million.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Xing directly increased the three points to 80.

The balance of blood value is only about 6000 million.

Rewards above B level are directly given attribute points, 90 to 99 attribute points, 1 point is equal to 10 billion blood points.

It is this 1 point of 90-99 attribute points that makes Lin Xing think: "What is a little enough for? It doesn't quench your thirst!"

After thinking about it, he probably understood.

“凑9亿点血腥值，把某一项属性点到89，然后用这1点90-99的属性点突破90的瓶颈。”

With such a total, this 1 attribute point has to be kept.

Finally, there is the badge reward.

Lin Xing probably understood the three badge rewards.

Ten cents came from the magician, the rebound machine came from Wes Unseld, but it was a pick-and-roll scorer. Lin Xing didn't understand how it came from.

Three badge selections, Lin Xing first ruled out the rebounding machine.

Just kidding, he is a point guard, what does he want a rebounding badge for?
Without this rebounding badge, with his current rebounding attributes, he can grab about 10 rebounds in a game, which is enough.

If equipped with this rebounding badge, with Lin Xing's current rebounding attributes, it is not impossible to be the rebounding king next season.

Of course, the main reason is that Dennis Rodman, the rebounding monster, will make trouble next season, and he will not be able to participate in the competition for the rebounding champion.

Otherwise, with Rodman's stable average of [-], [-] rebounds per game, Lin Xing is really no match.

It's not that he can't grab Rodman, but that he can't put most of his energy on rebounding like Rodman did.

The rest, ten cents and the pick-and-roll score, Lin Xing hesitated for a moment.

Ten cents is a must-have badge for a point guard, and it seems a bit metaphysical to increase the receiver's field goal percentage.

What it actually means is that this badge will help adjust the strength and angle of the pass.

Let the catcher catch the ball more comfortably, and the shooting percentage will go up, right?

But for Lin Xing, whose passing attributes are still pitifully low, it seems useless.

On the contrary, the pick-and-roll scorer seems to be very suitable for the pick-and-roll offense that the Warriors once took out in this year's playoffs.

Lin Xing only hesitated for a moment before choosing ten cents.

the reason?On the one hand, Lin Xing felt that he had to leave his comfort zone and explore something new.

The pick-and-roll is comfortable, but passing is more important.

If his ball is better, would the Suns dare to double-team him?
On the other hand, let's see that Lin Xing, who had made a choice, went straight into the honor point store.

After the start of the playoffs, Lin Xing first won a best rookie trophy, and the system gave him 10 honor points.

Then he was selected for the first team of the best team, and the system gave him another 10 honor points.

In the end, it was the best defensive team. Lin Xing finally defeated Charles Oakley and grabbed the remaining forward position.

This time, the system gave 8 honor points.

In addition to the original 78 honor points, Lin Xing now has 106 honor points, which he can directly exchange for a special reward.

Lin Xing didn't hesitate, and directly spent 100 honor points in exchange for top-notch ball feel.

And the top-level sense of the ball is why Lin Xing chooses very beautiful.

Attributes, since the system entered the NCAA stage, and further entered the NBA stage, he has grown for two seasons.

After two seasons of growth, he summed up one point——

Daily training can also increase attribute values.

So following this line of thought, if you feel the top ball in your hands, Lin Xing is the top of the top ball.

It is only natural that the transmission and control attribute will directly skyrocket after practice.

With more than 2 million blood points, he directly added three points without any hesitation, also because of the top ball feel here.

"Next, it will be a summer of rapid progress."

……

The day after the Warriors were eliminated by the Rockets, Lin Xing got up early habitually and drove to the training hall.

When he arrived at the training hall, he remembered that the season was over and they had no match arrangements.

Of course, there are no training arrangements.

"It's a holiday, it's time to go fishing..."

Lin Xing, who had just realized it at this moment, was about to turn around and ran into Old Nelson and his party head-on.

"Hey, Si Da, why are you here? Isn't today a holiday?"

Little Nelson stopped Lin Xing with a look of surprise. In front of him, old Nelson smiled and said nothing, as if he had seen through everything.

Lin Xing spread his hands, he really didn't want to say that the reason why he appeared here was because he fell asleep.

"It's nothing, I'll come over and take a look."

"Just take a look and leave?"

"if not?"

Little Nelson's rhetorical question made Lin Xing spread his hands, and left without looking at it. Should he stay for more practice?
It's a holiday now, even if he really works hard, a real training hall rat, it's impossible to sweat profusely all year round.

For training, extra training, etc., it is still necessary to combine work and rest, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it.

Lin Xing had already thought about it. After being eliminated from the playoffs, he had to hurry up and go to Hawaii for a while.

After all, in August, he should go to Maple Leaf Country to join the flower planting men's basketball team, and the time is really tight.

"You should be fine when you go back, right?"

At this time, Old Nelson spoke,

"It's just right, we will try out two rookies later, you can stay and help for reference."

"Ah, here, I have other arrangements, Don."

Lin Xing really didn't want to stay. Trying out rookies was boring even thinking about it.

You must know that in this year's draft, although the Warriors still have a first-rounder in hand, their pick is not high.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the rookies who came to participate in the trial training today will definitely not be big names.

He couldn't meet his old opponent Grant Hill, and he couldn't meet his younger brother Kidd. He was really not interested in this trial training.

But immediately after, Old Nelson unceremoniously exposed Lin Xing's untenable reason——

"What arrangements can you have? Don't think I don't know. You never go to the rounds of the Chris group because it is too old-fashioned. You also never go to the rounds of the Latril group because it is too restrictive. Also, you still never go to the rounds of the Tim group. The reason... unknown..."

"As for vacations, it takes time to book air tickets, hotels, and travel arrangements. You can't tell me that you already knew that we would lose in the Western Conference Finals in six games, so you booked the air tickets and hotels while you were stuck, right?"

Lin Xing scratched his head, don't talk about it, Old Nelson has hit the mark.

But he had another reason: "I'm going to go to Nate's..."

"Nate? Nate Thurmond?"

"Yes!"

Old Nelson returned to his silent state, stepped forward, and pushed open the side door of the training hall.

Then facing inside, shouted: "Nate!"

After a few seconds, a tall figure came out from the door.

"You guys are here, why don't you come in? Hey, Si Da, are you there too?"

"..."

Just like that, Lin Xing was forced to stay in the training hall.

Soon, he met the two rookies who the Warriors were going to try out today.

Sure enough, it was exactly as he expected. Lin Xing was not very familiar with the two rookies.

First came a 2 center forward named Clifford Rozier.

The reason why Thurmond is here is because the old Nelson invited him to help judge the strength and potential of this rookie center.

Of course, Lin Xing's unexpected appearance gave Old Nelson another choice.

"What do you think of him, Sta?"

Rookie workouts are just running and shooting demonstrations without confrontation, and there is no intensity at all.

You can't see anything with the naked eye.

Lin Xing also didn't play, thinking of fighting with this little-known rookie who might not change.

Therefore, he could only shake his head and give a superficial evaluation: "He is too thin, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the impact of the big dream."

One sentence pierced his heart, and old Nelson thought again that they had just lost this round of the Western Conference Finals.

Because the inside line is weak, they can't stop the big dream at all.

以至于六场比赛，大梦直接干了一个场均35.3分12.5个篮板5.0个助攻1.3个抢断4.2个盖帽。

Lin Xing felt that at this time, the old Nelson wanted to choose an inside line, and his goal must be to fight against Dameng.

And the center forward in front of him, who is not as strong as himself, is against Dameng?Don't be ridiculous.

Lin Xing regarded Rozier as negative, but on the other hand, Thurmond gave a completely opposite evaluation——

"I actually think that his dynamic talent is great, as long as he hangs on the flesh, he will have a lot to do in the future."

future?

Lin Xing shook his head secretly. If Rozier was chosen to fight against Dameng, then he must be an immediate fighter.

Because of the peak of the dream, there are only three or four seasons.

When Rozier hung up the meat, Dameng reckoned that it was time to go downhill.

"Don't worry, let's see the next one."

The second rookie to arrive at the training hall is Charlie Ward, a point guard, or combo guard.

Lin Xing was very familiar with this name.

The reason for the familiarity is not how strong this person is in the future, but because he punched Kobe in a certain game.

Not every player who throws a punch on the court is a tough guy, but Charlie Ward, he was a tough guy.

The reason for saying this, on the one hand, is that he was a member of the New York gang in those years.

On the other hand, he double majored in basketball and rugby.

Because he loves basketball more, he sent a message to the NFL in advance:
I'm not going to play football unless I'm drafted in the first round.

A tough attitude, forcing the NFL to give up on him.

Playing rugby, confrontation and so on, of course it's nothing to worry about.

But in the same way, it is difficult for Charlie Ward to show his advantages in a trial without confrontation.

After a mediocre trial training, Old Nelson looked at Lin Xing again.

Lin Xing rubbed his chin, and asked a rhetorical question first: "As a point guard, his ability to handle the ball is indeed not bad, but..."

"His three-pointers aren't that accurate, doesn't he seem to meet our tactical requirements? And our point guard position, with Steve, seems to have no shortage of substitutes, right?"

In a word: why did we choose him?
Old Nelson spread his hands: "You can also see, Star, Tim's defense is a bit bad..."

Worm's defense is a bit bad?It's more than a little bit, it's just a big colander.

Why did the Warriors fight the Suns until Game [-]?Isn't it that the bug can't guard against Kevin Johnson?
If the bug was replaced by Payton, the Warriors would have swept three games and advanced.

"And Charlie Ward, what's great about him is that he's a great defender, a point guard with a completely different style."

Old Nelson's employment is eclectic, and sometimes in the regular season, he can even use a eleven-or-two rotation.

In this way of employing people, the greater the difference in style of the players sitting on the bench, the better.

"If that's the case, I'm leaning toward Charlie Ward."

"Ok, got it, Sta, thanks for your suggestion."

……

Lin Xing left the training hall, ending this inexplicable rookie inspection tour.

Although before leaving, the old Nelson asked him: "There are two rookies coming to try out tomorrow, do you want to come and have a look?"

At the end, I added a sentence: "When doing things, you must have a beginning and an end!"

Lin Xing still shook his head and refused. He told Old Nelson, "Well, I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow."

If you want to go to Los Angeles, you don't need to buy an air ticket, let alone book a hotel, you just leave.

And this time, Lin Xing is telling the truth, he is indeed going to Los Angeles.

He hadn't seen Theron for a while, and after three autumns, Lin Xing really missed Theron a little bit.

To be honest, Lin Xing still has many doubts about his relationship with Theron.

Are you going to say they are a couple?Neither of them seem to have done anything couples should do except Make Love.

Even if Lin Xing didn't go to Los Angeles, they wouldn't have contact for a month or two.

Is this a couple?It's not like that!
You want to say that they are not a couple, right? The days are over, wouldn't couples do this?
Therefore, Lin Xing really wanted to ask Theron what kind of relationship they had.

Because Lin Xing returned to the Bay Area to play, Lin's father and Lin's mother have now moved back to the Bay Area.

So Lin Xing will be alone when he returns to Los Angeles.

He drove to Los Angeles and dialed Theron directly.

Knowing that Theron's mother was at home, she found a hotel and checked in.

Then, the room number was sent to Theron.

It wasn't long before Theron arrived.

Seeing Theron knocking on the door with all kinds of amorous feelings, Lin Xing felt more and more that "this is not a couple at all, it's more like a lover".

He turned on the TV.

Coincidentally, the Finals battle between the Rockets and the Knicks is underway.

Although he probably knew the ending, Lin Xing watched the match with relish.

He has always looked down on the Knicks, because in the regular season, the Warriors can easily crush the Knicks without fighting.

Against the Rockets, the Warriors were powerless to fight back.

But in this game, the Knicks used their tenacious defense to tell Lin Xing that in basketball, it's not that you win me, if you lose him, I should lose him.

Style restraint is a very important factor.

The Warriors' quick whirlwind and quarterback offense, once they rush up, are very restrained by the Knicks.

Because Ewing's footsteps move slowly and cannot keep up with the speed of the Warriors.

But against the Rockets, the Warriors' style of play is useless, because Dameng's speed is barely able to keep up with the Warriors.

As for the Knicks against the Rockets, both sides are center cores, and they are evenly matched in battle.

At halftime, the Rockets led by 5 points.

They played very steadily, steadily, and squeezed the Knicks step by step to seal the victory.

Even so, at the end of the game, the Knicks lost by 7 points.

"Looking at the small gap, I'm afraid we'll have to fight for a while in the finals!"

Although he was a time traveler, Lin Xing remembered that the Rockets won this finals, but he couldn't remember the exact score.

After watching G1 now, he roughly predicted that if the Rockets want to win against the Knicks, they will have to play at least until the sixth or even seventh game.

In addition to predicting this game, Lin Xing has also seen the importance of centers in this era.

"The center is too important. Even Jordan, in the first year of his comeback, was stopped by the Sharks in the second round of the playoffs. In the second year, Rodman joined and made up for his shortcomings. He started another three consecutive championships..."

It is not easy for Jordan to win six championships in this center era.

Even Jordan can't do without the help of insiders, and of course the Warriors are the same.

"I don't know if old Nelson has any plans to strengthen..."

Theron lying beside him had already fallen asleep, Lin Xing thought for a long time, and then closed his eyes.

After one night, Lin Xing sent Theron to school.

On the way, he still couldn't hold back——

"Charlize..."

"what happened?"

"You said, what is our relationship?"

"What do you think?"

Although Theron is the same age as Lin Xing, only 19 years old.

But at this moment, she is as mature as a mature woman in her 30s.

She skillfully threw this question back to Lin Xing.

"Girlfriends?"

Lin Xing asked tentatively, but Theron tilted his head:
"You mean... want to be my boyfriend? It's not impossible, but give me some time to think about it."

The meaning of these words is beyond comprehension.

They are not a couple.

"I am still a single nobleman on horseback!"

Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

……

In the finals, the Knicks persisted tenaciously until G7, and finally lost by 6 points.

And the time has come to June 6.

On their home court, the Rockets won the O'Brien Cup.

Hakeem Olajuwon also became the first player in NBA history to win Dpoy, regular season MVP and finals MVP in the same season.

Only one All-Star MVP is missing, and he has a single-season Grand Slam.

"Sta is right. This season belongs to the Rockets and the Big Dream."

The finals are over, and the 93-94 season has officially come to an end.

And it was the 94 draft that heralded the beginning of the 95-1994 season.

In this draft, the Warriors have the 25th pick in the first round.

What can be selected is a bunch of rookies that Lin Xing is not very familiar with.

The group of rookies that Lin Xing is not familiar with are all waiting in the small green room!
Although Kidd called Lin Xing, he hoped that Lin Xing could enter the small green house with him.

But at this time, Lin Xing was already in Hawaii, driving a yacht, surrounded by flesh and blood.

After confirming from Theron that he was still a single nobleman, Lin Xing broke the seal.

This trip to Hawaii is the ultimate relaxation.

"It's good to be single!"

Picking up a glass of cocktail, Lin Xing rubbed the big killer beside him, and turned on the satellite TV in the yacht.

Compared with the previous life, there are still some changes in this year's draft.

Lin Xing convinced the Mavericks to believe in the process, and as a result, they successfully won the No. [-] lottery with the bottom record in the league.

As for the choice of the No. [-] pick, they did not choose Glenn Robinson just because they had an extra Glenn Robinson.

"The Mavericks have Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn at the swingman position. They need players in other positions, and Jason Kidd is a good choice."

So, at the draft conference, David Stern stood in the center of the stage amid boos and announced loudly: "The Dallas Mavericks chose Jason Kidd!"

Kidd excitedly put on the calf's slightly green baseball cap, stood in the center of the stage, and shook hands with Stern.

Lin Xing smiled, and after a while, he received a call from Kidd——

"Si Da, I am the champion by stepping on a horse, and I am also a champion by riding a horse!"

On the yacht, Lin Xing was helpless: "I know, I know, I've watched the whole thing, but seriously, Jason, you shouldn't be calling me."

"Then who to call?"

"Call Gary, you are the champion, I am the champion, but he is not the champion, if you don't call him, who will you call?"

"Yes!"

"..."

"Fk, Si Da, some people don't do it, you want to be a dog!"

Next to the ear, there was an angry curse immediately.

That's right, Peyton was also there. As soon as this guy heard that Lin Xing was going to Hawaii for vacation, he immediately followed him.

With him, there are his wife Monica, and Gary Payton II, who is just over one year old.

As a result, he came excitedly, lay down on the yacht and became listless.

For a man with a wife, the pile of bones and skin that Lin Xing found was like meat close to his mouth. It was very tempting, but he couldn't put his mouth down. It was uncomfortable!
So in the past two days, Payton has been saying: Star, you are a dog!

Lin Xing didn't care about him, he only cared about feeling: It's nice to be single!

　For the chapter of 7k, the number of words is a little less, because the selection of system rewards has been delayed for a while, please understand
