Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Philadelphia.

76ers practice arena.

A group of players were training, and several people gathered around Butler.

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

"At this rate of increase in votes, I feel like Jimmy's votes will surpass Bosh tomorrow, and we'll only have to kill Garnett."

"There are still a few days..."

Everyone encouraged Butler.

Now Butler's votes have reached 330,000 votes, and only a few thousand votes away from Chris Bosh, who ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference frontcourt.

You must know that Butler's votes have increased by a full 60,000 votes in the past two days, an average of 30,000 votes a day, and the gap of several thousand votes may catch up in one day.

In fact, as long as there is no accident, Butler's votes surpass Bosh, and it is a sure thing to rank fourth in the Eastern Conference frontcourt players.

It's just that he can surpass Garnett and make it into the top three in the eastern frontcourt.

It's not that Butler's vote gap is too big. At this time, Garnett's votes are only 370,000 votes. In the past two days, they have only increased by 40,000 votes. The increase is not as good as Butler's. The difference between the two is only 40,000 votes. 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 with the Grizzlies, and because Rose and others canvassed him for votes.

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 number of votes will grow, because the vast majority of those 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 frontcourt of the Eastern Conference and be selected as an All-Star as a starter.

......

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

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

Only this time the 76ers trailed by 3 points.

Entering the second half, the 76ers changed their play and Butler cut down on individual shots because the Clippers were now targeting him.

Qin Hao started to break out. 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 and assisted his teammates. He almost changed the game by himself, helping the Clippers to widen the difference to 10 points.

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

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

In the end, the score was 115:107, and the Clippers defeated the 76ers by 8 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. When he returned to the locker room after the game, he felt depressed and blamed himself. , I feel that it is because of my "big brush" that the team loses.

Qin Hao patted Butler and said with a smile: "If you think we are going to lose this game to make you an All-Star, you will feel guilty. Then you should cheer up, play the game two days later, kill the The top three frontcourt players in the East. We don't lose games until you make the All-Star start."

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

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

"Well." 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 at home against the Brooklyn Nets.

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

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

......

Two days later, the Celtics played the Bucks on the road.

The game has started.

At this time, the Celtics players are feeding Garnett the ball. The 76ers are working hard to make 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 made a jumper.

The Celtics head coach frowned on the sidelines. Garnett scored a lot of points today, and his score has reached 20, but his physical energy consumption is also very high.

After a moment, he called a timeout.

Garnett came off the court, panting on his knees. He had already scored 24 points, but his physical exertion was very high, and his fatigue hit like a tide.

"Too much consumption."

"Kevin is almost 37 years old after all, so it definitely won't work like this."

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

The head coach replaced Garnett and let him rest until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter before putting Garnett back on.

However, 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 not bad, but it is inferior to Butler's two consecutive 30+ games before.

"If you were a few years younger..." Garnett smiled wryly and shook his head, a little sad. If he was a few years 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 dug out their phones to check the latest All-Star polling data, as well as another game.

"Yes." Brandon Bass flipped through his mobile phone and shouted: "Kevin's votes are now 408,847, and it's almost 410,000 votes."

"What about Butler's?"

"Yeah, how old is Butler?"

Teammates asked.

Bass glanced at the phone again, with a relieved expression on his face, and smiled: "Butler now has 396,520 votes, which is 10,000 votes less than Kevin."

"390,000 votes, that's fine."

"It's still 10,000 votes away. This morning is the deadline for voting. There are only a few hours. Butler should not be able to catch up."

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

However, Garnett still frowned, not feeling relieved at all, after all, there are still a few hours.

Garnett asked, "Bass, how's the Sixers-Nets game going?"

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

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