Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1254 The Last Chance
Philadelphia.

76ers practice arena.

A group of players are training, and several people get together and surround Butler.

"Jimmy, keep going, you're only a few thousand votes away from Bosh."

"With this rate of increase in the number of votes, I feel that Jimmy's votes will surpass Bosh tomorrow, and he will only be able to kill Garnett by then."

"There are still a few days."

Everyone encouraged Butler one after another.

Now Butler's votes have reached 33 votes, which is only a few thousand votes behind Chris Bosh, who ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference frontcourt.

You must know that the number of votes for Butler has increased by a full 6 votes in the past two days, with an average increase of 3 votes a day. The gap of a few thousand votes may be caught up in a day.

In fact, as long as there are no accidents, it is a certainty that Butler will surpass Bosh in the number of votes and rank fourth among the Eastern Conference frontcourt players.

It's just that whether he can surpass Garnett and reach the top three in the Eastern Conference is still unknown.

It's not that Butler's votes are too far apart. At this time, Garnett's votes are only 37 votes, which has only increased by 4 votes in the past two days. The increase is not as good as Butler's. The difference between the two is only 4 votes now.It's just that time is too tight, and there are only a few days left.

Another point, the reason why Butler's votes have increased so much in the past two days is because of the game against the Grizzlies, and because of Rose and others canvassing for him.

There is no doubt that the increase in the number of votes in the next few days will probably not be so fast.

After all, the more it gets to the end, the slower the increase in the number of votes will be, because most of the people who want to vote have already voted.

Of course, there is no chance.

"Bang!"

With a bang, Butler staged a two-handed dunk.

This seems to be a declaration that he is bound to win the top three in the Eastern Conference and be selected as the All-Star as a starter.

A day later, the 76ers rushed to the away game to challenge the Los Angeles Clippers.

In this game, the 76ers are still creating opportunities for Butler, allowing Butler to score points crazily. Butler scored 28 points in the first half.

It's just that the 76ers fell behind by 3 points at this time.

After entering the second half, the 76ers changed their style of play, and Butler reduced his personal shots because the Clippers are now targeting him.

Qin Hao began to explode. Under his leadership, the 76ers overtook the score, but after a while, Paul scored consecutively and helped the Clippers overtake the score.

In the last quarter, Paul scored by himself, assisted his teammates, and almost changed the game by himself, helping the Clippers to open the point difference to 10 points.

There is no doubt that Paul is very good today, scoring personally, organizing offense, and even defending Qin Hao very well.

Seeing that time is running out, the 76ers have little hope of making a comeback.

In the end, with a score of 115:107, the Clippers beat the 8ers by 76 points.

Butler still scored 30+ in this game, scored 34 points, plus 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, but he lost the game, which made him a little unhappy. After the game, he returned to the locker room. He was depressed and blamed himself , I feel that it is because of my "big brush" that the team lost.

Qin Hao patted Butler and said with a smile: "If you think that we lost this game because of making you an All-Star, you feel guilty. Then you should cheer up and play well in the game two days later, and kill Enter the top three frontcourt players in the Eastern Conference. Only if you make the All-Star starter, the games we lose will not be considered in vain.”

This kind of comforting method will definitely not work on other people.

It works for Butler, the key is what Qin Hao said.

"Yes." Butler nodded heavily, "I will definitely fight well."

From the second round to the third round of voting, there is only one week in total, and the 76ers have three games in one week, against the Grizzlies, against the Clippers, and the last game is against the Brooklyn Nets at home.

At this time, Butler's votes have surpassed Bosh, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference frontcourt, only a little behind Garnett.

So this third game is Butler's last chance. He must perform well enough to hope to surpass Garnett.

Two days later, the Celtics played away against the Bucks.

The game has started.

At this time, the Celtics players are feeding Garnett. The 76ers are working hard to let Butler surpass Garnett. The Celtics do not want Garnett to be surpassed by Butler. The last point Time they are also working hard to help Garnett hold the lead.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Garnett hit the iron with a jumper.

The head coach of the Celtics on the sidelines frowned. Garnett scored a lot of points today. He already scored 20 points, but his energy consumption was also very high.

After a moment, he called a timeout.

Garnett came off the court, holding his knees and gasping for breath. He had already scored 24 points, but his energy consumption was very high, and his exhaustion hit him like a tide.

"The consumption is too great."

"Kevin is almost 37 years old after all, so playing like this will definitely not work."

Seeing Garnett's exhausted appearance, the teammates can only lament that "time is a butcher's knife", and the former "Wolf King" is still late after all.

The head coach replaced Garnett, let him rest, and did not replace Garnett until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

It's just that after returning to the court, Garnett lost his previous state. Even though his teammates were creating opportunities for him, he only scored 3 points, 1 of which came from free throws.

In the end, Garnett scored 27 points, plus 8 rebounds and 2 assists. The data is naturally not bad, but it is inferior to Butler's previous two consecutive 30+ games.

"If you were younger." Garnett smiled wryly and shook his head, a little sad. If he was younger, he would definitely be able to get 30+, or even more.

A group of Celtics players returned to the locker room, and teammates immediately pulled out their phones to check the latest All-Star voting data and the situation of another game.

"Yes." Brandon Bass flipped through his phone and shouted loudly: "Kevin now has 408847 votes, which is almost 41 votes."

"What about Butler's?"

"Yeah, how much is Butler?"

The teammates asked one after another.

Bass glanced at his phone again, with a relieved expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Butler now has 396520 votes, [-] votes less than Kevin."

"39 votes, that's okay."

"There are still [-] votes left. This morning is the deadline for voting. There are only a few hours. Butler probably won't be able to catch up."

Knowing the number of votes for Butler, the Celtics players were relieved for Garnett, and the situation should be stable.

But Garnett still frowned, not feeling relaxed at all, after all, there were still a few hours left.

Garnett asked: "Bass, how is the game between the 76ers and the Nets?"

"Oh." Bass responded, busy checking the news about the game.

The 76ers also have a game today against the Nets at home.
