Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Have you heard? The Pacers have a rookie this year. He's very powerful. In just one season, he's hit three buzzer beaters!"

Hu Yingzhe has recently been paying less attention to the NBA because of the basketball team's preparations for games. When he was eating in the cafeteria that day, he heard the discussion of the people next to him and immediately pricked up his ears.

"True or false, three buzzer beaters, I remember the Pacers are a playoff team, how dare they give the last chance to a rookie?"

Pacers, rookie, buzzer beater?

Could it be...

Hu Yingzhe thought for a moment and had a guess.

"Where is it? The team boss is directly on the bench, watching the substitutes make a comeback!"

"The boss is sitting on the bench watching the comeback. Is it true?"

"No, I watched the live broadcast, and the Pacers' face turned black at that time!"

Unfortunately, the discussion did not continue according to Hu Yingzhe's conjecture, but instead began to ridicule Granger.

Hu Yingzhe had a quick chat, quickly returned to his dormitory, turned on his long-awaited mobile phone, and saw the notification of today's game:

"18+3+2 Chinese rookies beat the Spurs. If given enough time, the sky is the limit!"

Hu Yingzhe didn't need to see the end to know that this was a masterpiece by the "famous pen" Prime Minister Guda.

Prime Minister Guda once praised Yi Jianlian with dozens of articles that were extremely disgusting and easily aroused. When Yi Jianlian gradually retired from the NBA, Hu Yingzhe thought that Prime Minister Guda would gradually become lonely, but he did not expect that the emergence of Jeremy Lin and Qi Tian made Sina

With the new goal in mind, the focus immediately turned to the two of them.

After complaining a few words, Hu Yingzhe still read it seriously.

"...Qitian once again appeared as a substitute player. This is natural. There are two big brothers Granger and George in the team. It is your turn to perform as a rookie. But no one expected that this was just Qi Tian.

The beginning of the performance…”

"...With no fear in the face of Ginobili, Monkey King shocked the world with a three-pointer. It turns out that basketball still has this style of play!"

"In my rookie season, I had three three-point kills, two of which were three-pointers, plus a 2+1 free throw. Rounding up, it was equivalent to three three-pointers! How amazing this is. No wonder the fourth one was the winner.

Granger, who was sitting firmly on the bench, boasted that 'the sky is his limit'!"

Hu Yingzhe finished the short 800-word article quickly, but the shock of the three-pointer made him tremble all over.

It turns out that basketball can still be played like this!

In the following days, even though he was under the pressure of competition results, Hu Yingzhe still tried his best to take time to watch the Pacers' games. If he didn't have time to watch the video, he would read the text and watch the highlights.

It's just that in April, when the regular season came to an end, the Pacers made adjustments. The main players' playing time was gradually shortened, and even the playing time of key rotation forces was reduced a lot. However, the second substitute Stephenson and others got enough

More playing time.

In the final game of the loss to the Bulls, Stephenson started and scored a career-high 22 points on 10 of 15 shots, fully demonstrating his potential and the Pacers' rich lineup.

The Pacers ended the April campaign with an excellent record of 12 wins and 3 losses, and the regular season record was fixed at 42 wins and 24 losses. After three days of rest, they will usher in a long-lost playoff campaign.

.

Although they are in the same Central Division as the Bulls, who are first in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers still ranked third in the Eastern Conference based on their record. Only behind the 50-16 Bulls and the 46-20 Heat, their first-round victory

The opponent is the old enemy, the Magic.

The Celtics relied on the advantage of being first in the Atlantic Division to successfully reach the fourth position in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks, with 40 wins and 26 losses, although they have one more win than the Celtics, are still ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Although ranked according to record, the Celtics are fifth and the Hawks are fourth. Their opponents in the first round are still them, but they have lost a home court advantage, and the difference is still huge.

The Western Conference rankings are also newly released, with the Spurs and Thunder leading the way, followed by the Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks and Jazz.

For teams that fail to enter the playoffs, the players have their own place to go, but the management and coaching team will not take a vacation. They focus on the playoffs and are always ready to find opportunities to tap based on their performance in the playoffs.

potential stocks, and use this to carry out off-season operations.

At the end of the regular season, various regular season awards will be awarded in mid-May, almost in the middle of the second round. Although the Best Rookie and Best Sixth Man of the 2011-12 season are basically reserved for Irving and Harden, both of them

Just by averaging close to 20 points per game, it is enough to widen the gap with others.

But the suspense of awards such as Most Improved Player, Best Defensive Player, Best Coach, Best Manager and the final grand prize of the regular season - Regular Season MVP is still there.

The Pacers took a half-day off during the break to prepare their players heading into the playoffs.

Qi Tian did not catch up on sleep to prepare for the night battle like Stephenson Hibbert and others, but went to George's house to play on the court and continue training.

Unlike Qi Tian, ​​who lives a tight life renting an apartment, George's talent has already emerged. In addition to his handsome appearance, he has received many endorsement contracts. A few months ago, he bought a small villa with a basketball court at home.

Judging from their attitude towards the playoffs, George and Qi Tian have already opened a gap with nightclub stars Stephenson, Hibbert and others.

"Good boy!"

As soon as they met, Qi Tian didn't wait for George to say anything, so he punched him and asked in a low voice,

"I said everyone else said that Amy and I were living together. It turned out to be your kid's fault!"

"Good afternoon, Seven, by the way, who is it, Amy?"

Behind George and Qitian, Amy, who was wearing casual clothes, said hello.

"Why are you here today free?"

Amy looked at Qi Tian, ​​who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"I have more time recently, so I came here."

"Understand, understand."

Seeing that George was still talking nonsense, Qi Tian grabbed George by the neck and asked:

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Hi."

Paul George said nonchalantly,

"Didn't this also help you two establish a relationship? Brother, you are still too young. Brother, I am here to help you!"

"ah?"

Before Qi Tian could react, George clapped his hands toward the house and called his new girlfriend out.

"This is my girlfriend Devin Michelle, Michelle, and this is Seven and his girlfriend, Amy."

Michelle is fair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed. She is a little internet celebrity. She came over wearing homely clothes and chatted with Qi Tian Amy for a while, then left.

"Oh, she has something to do today."

This is George's answer.

It can be seen from this that the social circle of NBA players is still small, but as long as they want to, there are many people who want to get together.
