God of NBA point guards

Chapter 316 The end of the regular season

As the schedule continues, the Sonics will inevitably suffer some injuries.

Among the main players, Matt Geiger suffered a knee injury and missed eight games.

In addition, Kendall Gill suffered a calf strain and missed eleven games.
Important backup guard Sarunas Matthew Leonis was seriously injured and was reimbursed for the season.

The important substitute, Ai Siqiu, suffered a strained left knee ligament and also missed [-] games.

On the other hand, veteran McMillan is pretty good, with a tough playing style and good physical fitness, and only had two truces.

Among the fringes, Steve Scheffler was seriously injured in a training session, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to come back in the playoffs.

Another fringe man, Byron Houston, was also seriously injured in the game and was reimbursed for the same season.

These injuries made Zhou Quan's idea of ​​chasing the Bulls come to naught.

The injury situation of the Bulls is better than that of the Sonics. Whether it is the main force or the substitute, there have been no serious injuries.

However, the battle for the scoring title between Zhou Quan and Jordan continues.

Although Jordan wants to win the championship and defend his title, but now Zhou Quan wants to compete for his scoring champion, which makes him very annoyed.

He believed that the assists leader belonged to Zhou Quan, and the scoring leader belonged to him, and no one could steal it.

Jordan's offensive firepower is still stronger than Zhou Quan's. According to the level of the system, it has reached at least a top attack like level 95, which is a level higher than Zhou Quan's offensive.

However, the Supersonic’s style of play and the tactical style of the head coach George Karl are all about averageness. Zhou Quan’s shots in the Supersonics are already very high, reaching 20 times. not up.

On March 3, Michael Tyson, the most aggressive world boxing champion in world boxing history, received a commutation of his sentence and walked out of the Indiana Youth Correctional Center.

Outside the center, a throng of journalists was waiting for him.

"Michael, do you still know how to punch?" a reporter asked loudly.

"of course."

Michael Tyson didn't look like a beast that had rushed out of the cage and was full of hunger and thirst. Instead, he looked like a beast that had been tortured and lost its vigor. His eyes had no light and no aggression.

During the few years in the correctional center, as a black man, he once again experienced what racial discrimination is. Inside, he has no dignity, and the dignity of the world boxing champion is even less worth a penny.

On April 4, Tyson's agent, Don King, announced that Tyson's first match after he was released from prison was officially finalized against Pete McNee at the MGM Hotel in Alaska.

On April 4, the Sonics lost to the Suns in an away game, ending the regular season of the 23/94 season, with a record of 95 wins and 61 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.

The Bulls have 65 losses in 17 games, ranking first in the league.

After the last game, Zhou Quan returned to the locker room and went to the coaching staff to get his personal data for the season.

He seemed very excited, it was related to the regular season tasks, and the huge rewards made him a little impatient.

出战82场，首发82场，场均41分钟，场均28分5.1篮板14.8助攻4.5抢断1.2盖帽2.8失误2.8犯规。

He averaged 21.5 of 11.2 shots, 52.1% from the field, 2.6 from 1.05 three-pointers, 40.4% from the field, 5 from 4.6 free throws, 92% from the field, 59.2% from the true field goal, and 5.28 turnovers and assists.

This season, the team ranks first in playing time, the number of shots taken, the first in scoring, the third in rebounds, the first in steals, the first in blocks, the first in assists, the first in defensive efficiency, the first in personal plus-minus, and the first in shooting Hit rate third.

本赛季常规赛与职业生涯得分2300分/7308分；篮板418/1546个，助攻1214/4176个，抢断369/1102个，盖帽98/274个。

"Mission accomplished!"

With a single thought, he turned on the system.

Sure enough, a new reminder made him immediately excited.

When he opened it, it was the reward prompt. He got the rewards of +2 for injury resistance, +1 for jumping, +1 for agility, and +1 for strength.

Now his Injury Resistance is 95, Bounce and Agility 95, and Strength 87.

All ten physical fitness items, eight of which are above 95, two of which are full grades, and only strength and speed are below 95.

Before he could be happy, several new reminders appeared again.

"The host's physical fitness has been further improved. The host is requested to continue shooting and breakthrough training tasks. Every 2000 rounds, it can be upgraded by one level. The shooting technique can be raised to a maximum of 96, and the breakthrough technique can be increased to a maximum of 95."

"Every time all shooting skills are improved by one level, the basic shooting skills will be improved by one level; when all shooting skills are improved to level 96, the shooting improvement will directly reach the full level."

"All breakthrough skills are raised to level 95, shooting skills are raised to level 96, and offense is raised to level 95."

Seeing the content of the mission, Zhou Quan laughed.

Although it is no longer 500 times a round, it has increased by a full 4 times, but with his current technical level, this level of improvement is a huge step forward. 2000 times will be a fixed level, which is already very, very good .

It's no wonder that after the previous training tasks were completed, the training tasks were no longer issued. It turned out that the quality did not meet the requirements.

He calculated that 12 shooting techniques and 6 breakthrough techniques would require 16 to [-] rounds of training, [-] to [-] training sessions, and it would take two years to complete it.

"Tekken, congratulations, defending the assists and steals champions for three consecutive seasons." At this moment, George Karl's voice sounded.

"Boss, congratulations."

"Tekken, double champion, you have already monopolized these two data kings."

Other teammates also sent congratulations.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Quan replied with a smile.

He then said to Rodman: "Dennis, congratulations, defending the rebounding title for the fourth consecutive time."

"Haha, I've said it long ago, Iron Fist, you are the leader in assists and steals, and I am the leader in rebounds." Rodman laughed.

George Karl said: "Mutombo is the block leader, averaging 3.9 times per game. Jordan is the scoring leader, averaging 30.8 points per game, followed by O'Neal's 29.3 points, Iron Fist, you rank third in the league.

But in terms of shooting percentage and true shooting percentage, Jordan is not as good as you. His two data this season are 49.8% and 58.3% respectively.

Defensive efficiency, you are the same as last season, ranking first in the league.In terms of personal win-loss value, you are slightly lower than Jordan, second in the league.

In terms of defensive efficiency, you may get DPOY again, but it may not be given to you again.As for the MVP, our record is not as good as the Bulls, and it is also difficult. "

Kendall Gill said: "Our record is second in the league, and Jordan already has three MVPs, so this time it may not be returned to him.

Zhou Quan smiled and shook his head, "These are not the most important thing to me, the most important thing is the playoffs."

Everyone nodded their heads. They reached the finals last season but failed to win the championship. This season they have only one goal, and that is the championship.

Then George Karl introduced the regular season and playoffs.

The top eight in the Eastern Conference are Bulls, Magic, Knicks, Pacers, Hornets, Cavaliers, Eagles, and Celtics.

The top eight in the West are the Supersonics, Jazz, Suns, Spurs, Lakers, Mosaics, Trail Blazers, and Nuggets.

Playoff matchup.

Eastern Conference first round: Bulls vs Celtics, Pacers vs Hornets, Magic vs Eagles, Knicks vs Cavaliers.

The first round of the Western Conference: Supersonics vs. Nuggets, Spurs vs. Lakers, Jazz vs. Trail Blazers, Suns vs. Mosaic.

"What a coincidence, the Nuggets are playing in the first round this year." Zhou Quan laughed.

Kendall Gill said: "We beat them three to one in the regular season last year and this year. Last year we swept the Nuggets in the first round. There will be no problem this time."

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Don't be careless. Our attitude should be the same as last year. We will fight every game as if it were the last game and win one game at a time. In this way, even if the worst result happens, we will be mentally prepared. I won't regret it either."

"Yes, boss."

"Iron Fist was right."

The players echoed in the locker room.

George Karl said: "After we advance in the first round, we should play the Spurs in the second round. We are also [-]-[-] in the regular season this season. The problem in the first two rounds should not be big. It mainly depends on who the opponent is in the Western Conference Finals."

Rodman smiled and said: "Either the Jazz or the Suns. The Suns met Mosaic in the first round. They seemed to meet in the second round last year. This time it was earlier."

Zhou Quan said with a weird expression: "Mosaic got the glider, but I didn't expect the injury to be more severe than ours, and it fell to sixth."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that Mosaic lost two consecutive home games in the second round of the Western Conference last year, but in the end it was a tie-breaker that made it to the Western Conference finals, so he couldn't help being vigilant, and reminded:

"I don't think Mosaic will necessarily lose to the Suns. Although one of their rotation power forwards has been reimbursed and Maxwell's injury has not fully recovered, the lineup has depth and resilience. We can't be careless."

George Karl nodded and said: "What Iron Fist said makes sense. The Mosaic team showed resilience in the second round last year. It is indeed worthy of vigilance."

Zhou Quan took a look at the atmosphere in the locker room. It was not bad. It was better than this time last season. After going through the playoffs last season, especially the finals, including the head coach, his mentality should be better now. The ability to withstand pressure is stronger.

On the 24th, the major media began to hype up the situation of the playoffs. As the two most popular people, Jordan and Zhou Quan were naturally the top priority of the media reports.

Zhou Quan couldn't help laughing when he saw the report from the Los Angeles Daily. It seems that the strength of the Lakers is not even optimistic about the Los Angeles media.

The major media also began to analyze the situation of the playoffs and the situation of winning the championship.

At the beginning of the season, the media gave several championship-level teams, namely the Bulls, Magic, and Knicks in the East, and the Supersonics, Mosaics, Spurs, and Suns in the West. The media recognized four championship-level teams. team.

The analysis of the East is still very accurate. The three first-tier teams won the top three in the East, but the analysis of the West is inaccurate. Neither the Spurs nor the Mosaics have entered the top three.

These two teams have also been criticized by the media, and the two super centers of Dameng and Admiral have been criticized.

In the sports news on the morning of the 24th, NBC TV station gave the organization's championship prediction.

Bulls 25%, Sonics 20%, Knicks 15%, Magic 13%, Jazz 11%, Suns 8%, Mosaic 7%, and the rest of the teams add up to 1%.

Zhou Quan roughly glanced at the newspapers. Except for the media in Seattle, the media in other cities basically listed the Bulls as the first to win the championship.

But the Sonics are also the No. [-] seeded team in the forecasts of major media, and they are the second-best winning team in the media.

The first round starts on the 27th. The Sonics will play on this day, and there is not much rest time. The schedule of the playoffs is very tight.

On the 25th, the league officially announced a series of regular season honors.

Five data champions, Zhou Quan once again won the assists and steals double crown, Rodman was once again honored as the rebounding champion, the Sonics won three of them, the scoring champion was Jordan, and the blocked shots champion was Mutubom.

The best rookie is the popular star Grant Hill, the best sixth man is Anthony Mason Jr., and DPOY gave Mutombo.

On the 26th, the Nuggets arrived in Seattle.

Zhou Quan invited the same year's show Mutombo to dinner, and he said helplessly: "Iron Fist, it's unlucky to meet you again in the first round."

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "I can't help it, Dikembe, this time I can only invite you for a round tour. Your strength is not as good as last season, you know that."

Mutombo said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily true, maybe I will eliminate you this time."

Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "People always have dreams, otherwise what is the difference from salted fish? Dikembe, your dream is good, you have already left the ranks of salted fish."

"Tekken, you're an asshole!"

……

The fact is that Mutombo did have a dream in which he eliminated Zhou Quan, but the reality is that he was swept by the Supersonics again.

In addition, the Bulls also swept the Green Team on this day, completing the promotion at the same time as the Sonics.

The next day, May 5, the Magic swept the Hawks.

In the other 5 games, the Pacers and the Hornets were [-]-[-], the Knicks and the Cavaliers were [-]-[-], the Spurs and the Lakers were [-]-[-], the Jazz and the Trail Blazers were [-]-[-], and the Suns and the Cavaliers were [-]-[-]. Mosaic scored one to two.

On the 3rd, the Pacers eliminated the Hornets with a big score of [-] to [-] and completed the promotion.

At the same time, the Knicks also eliminated the Cavaliers and reached the second round.

On the 4th, the Spurs defeated the Lakers again and advanced to the second round.

At the same time, the Jazz and the Trail Blazers scored two to two.

The enemies of the Suns and Mosaic scored two to two in the first four games.

On the 6th, the Jazz defeated the Blazers and reached the second round.

At the same time, Mosaic once again showed great tenacity, defeated the Suns, and made it to the second round with difficulty.

However, Mosaic suffered another injury in the first round. Crazy Maxwell was seriously injured again in the G1 game. He left the 12-man roster and was reimbursed for the season.

In this way, the second round matchup is, in the East, the Bulls against the Pacers, and the Magic against the Knicks; in the West, the Supersonics against the Spurs, and the Jazz against the Mosaics.

The second round will start on the 7th, with the Sonics playing against the Spurs and the Magic playing against the Knicks, and the other two teams will start playing on the 8th.
