This Forward is Not Serious

After scoring the winning goal, Lin Ying also collapsed on the floor.

In "Kuroko's Basketball", after opening the "Zone", the players' physical fitness will decline rapidly.

This basically restores the reality.

Although Lin Ying played a "pseudo zone" effect in the decisive moment, his physical fitness has also reached its bottom.

On the other hand, the other members of the Suns team seemed to have regained their strength due to the excitement. They came over and pulled Lin Ying up from the ground with your left hand and my right hand.

Seeing this scene, the Rockets fans at the scene couldn't help but applaud the Suns.

Although the loss is regrettable, in comparison, even though the Rockets have a better lineup, the Suns obviously have a better overall team.

It was not unfair for them to lose to such an opponent.

In the final handshake ceremony, when Lin Ying shook hands with Yao Ming, he saw obvious loneliness in the latter's eyes.

Even Yao Ming couldn't let go of his best year, falling in the first round!

"You did everything you could."

Lin Ying said.

Yao Ming licked his lips and nodded, but the loneliness in his eyes was still there.

"Look ahead and think about the summer."

Lin Ying continued.

He didn't say the second part, but if Cole really succeeds, they will play together next season!

Yao Ming then nodded, the loneliness in his eyes dissipated, and he seemed to have thought about it.

Lin Ying finally patted Yao Ming on the shoulder. He was also looking forward to this summer!

After the handshake ceremony, Lin Ying did not attend the press conference with Gentry.

tired.

This is the state of all Suns players at this moment.

Defeating the Rockets and completing another upset is gratifying, but really tiring.

This fatigue has already started in the regular season. In order to improve the record, they did not rest and recuperate like last year.

As a result, they faced the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. The tiebreaker really felt like being isolated from my wife for a month due to the epidemic, and feeling drained.

"The best news is that we have overcome the most difficult opponent on the road to defending our title."

Xiaosi leaned on the stool and tilted his head and said to Lin Ying.

The Western Conference is really chaotic this year.

Counting the fact that the Suns sent the Rockets out tonight, three of the four teams in the top half of the Western Conference were killed!

Grizzlies, Thunder, Mavericks, Suns.

Without the Lakers and Spurs, the difficulty of the Suns' title defense this year suddenly became much easier than last year.

"Amare, our toughest opponent is in the next round."

Lin Ying said seriously.

In the world he lived in before he traveled, most people knew that the Mavericks had an incredible championship year in their history.

But in fact, the Mavericks' record that year was not bad, with 57 wins, only one win less than the Lakers, 3 wins less than the first-place Spurs, and ranking third in the Western Conference.

It's just that the Mavericks have always struggled in the past playoffs, so no one thought they could win the championship.

Now, the Mavericks are receiving a different kind of spiritual boost, and their overall state looks better than it has in history.

"Maybe you are right, but I think we can still win. We have defeated the Rockets, haven't we?"

Xiaosi replied confidently.

Although very tiring, defeating the Rockets not only made Stoudemire, but also made the entire Suns team confident.

Lin Ying nodded and said nothing more.

The same mentality as before.

Have the heart to win and be prepared to fight a tough battle.

As long as they can get past the Mavericks, at least they have a great chance of getting in front of the Knicks!

He is looking forward to meeting James again in the finals, and also wants to see how strong this plus version of the Knicks team is!

…

After the Suns defeated the Rockets, all the matchups in the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals were announced.

Eastern Conference: Bulls VS Hawks, Knicks VS Celtics.

magic?

The Magic were killed by the Hawks in the first round!

Because of the butterfly effect brought by Lin Ying, Howard never made it to the finals, and now the Magic can no longer be tough.

One thing that can be foreseen is that Howard is likely to choose to leave the team this summer, unlike history.

In the most anticipated matchup between the Knicks and Heat, the Knicks ended the battle cleanly 4-1.

Anthony: Why do I feel like I'm still in the West?

West: Grizzlies VS Thunder, Mavericks VS Suns.

This should be a rare conference semifinal without Kobe and Duncan Howard in recent years.

This is also the same tone that the Western Conference has shown throughout the season, chaos.

Then, under this chaos, supernovas such as Durant, Lin Ying, and Rose began to be active at the forefront of the stage.

The playoffs are also the biggest stage for superstars to compete.

It was during this game interval that another supernova also appeared.

In the best rookie selection announced by the league, Griffin was finally elected as the best rookie in 2011!

This result has also attracted a lot of heated discussion.

Essentially, Griffin is a rookie in 2009.

Due to a season reimbursement, he officially started his NBA career after sitting out for a season, competing with the 2010 rookies.

Some people say no. He is considered a rookie after not playing for a year due to injury.

But what you have to know is that even if he didn't play a game that year, the training he received, including the improvement of his tactical awareness with the team for a year, and the intra-team competition, are all things that college players cannot have.

But there's no way, that's the rule.

John Wall silently circled and cursed the league rules, that's all.

One day later, the East and West regional semifinals began one after another.

The Bulls and Eagles in the East and the Grizzlies and Thunder in the West took the lead.

Then, both were "upset"!

The Eastern Conference said it was an upset. After all, the Bulls had the best record in the league, but they were defeated by the Hawks 103-95 in the end!

"Contemporary Jordan" took off the first two words on this night and became the man in Chicago!

He scored 34 points in the game and only took 18 shots, making 12 of 18 shots!

The iron defense that the Bulls relied on for survival was useless in front of him.

When Johnson signed a 100 million yuan contract last summer, he was questioned by numerous voices. Tonight, he gave those doubters a slap in the face.

In fact, players like Johnson, just like DeRozan, are not suitable to be the leader due to their personality, but they are all excellent second-in-commands.

Another upset comes with double quotes.

Because it was the favored Thunder that lost. After defeating the Lakers, the Thunder became the most favored team in the Western Conference.

But the Grizzlies' iron defense gave the Thunder a run for its money.

Note it's the Thunder, not Durant.

Durant still had no answer, scoring 37 points efficiently on 13 of 21 shots.

The simple reason is because the Grizzlies don't have Allen now! No one can limit him!

But his teammates, Westbrook, who scored 25 points on 7-of-23 shooting, eight rebounds, six assists, and six turnovers, was close to a quadruple-double, and Harden, who only took 5 shots and scored 5 points...

Durant: Second brother and third brother, you guys should be more supportive! The Nth day I miss Ying!

One day later, the remaining two sets of games in the conference semifinals also started.

The Knicks-Celtics in the East started first.

This matchup has actually attracted much attention.

Because of the finals, the showdown between Lin Ying and James has attracted much attention, but in fact there are more stories between James and the Celtics' Big Three.

Especially Garnett, who has a lot of talk. He failed to say "Don't let loyalty kill you" last year. As a result, he said harsh words before the game this year:

"We are not afraid of LeBron at all. No one in Boston is afraid of him. They are called the Big Three, but they are more like three kids who want to get the attention of the world."

Then he was slapped in the face as soon as he said these harsh words.

In the first game, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 106-89.

The consequences of sending Perkins away at the trade deadline were clearly reflected in the game.

Without the Celtic penalty area guarded by Perkins, Garnett alone cannot stop the attacks of James and Wade.

After the game, Garnett probably couldn't help but greet Ainge in his heart.

Knowing that James went to form the Big Three, he actually replaced Perkins. It was a real blow to his teammates!

Just when the game between the Knicks and Celtics was not over, the game between the Suns and the Mavericks also started soon.

At the beginning of the game, the Suns were suppressed by the Mavericks.

And as soon as the game started, the Suns showed signs of fatigue.

Although confidence is high and morale is high, physical fatigue is visible to the naked eye.

On the other hand, the Mavericks' morale, physical condition, and even state are extremely good.

After one quarter, the Mavericks led the Suns by 15 points, 30-15.

In the second half of the game, the Suns slowly regained their form, but Nowitzki started on the Mavericks side.

With all kinds of twisted shots, you thought the defense was successful, but it just scored!

That feeling of "Give me the ball, I'm going home" when you throw it.

And the Suns found that no one could match them!

In a sense, Nowitzki's shooting method is the same as Durant's, both of which cannot be defended.

How well or poorly they perform basically depends on how good or bad their own condition is.

However, this is the best year of Nowitzki's career.

Even this year, Nowitzki has developed excellent organizational skills.

If you double attack, he can pass the ball to an open teammate.

It just so happens that the rest of the Mavericks were inspired by the Suns' victory, and their own strength and mental state are also good!

Even with Kidd as the setter, Nowitzki felt that the passing opportunity was not good enough to return the ball to Kidd. He went back and forth to catch the ball and turned around independently, and it was too late to flank.

Therefore, during this game, Lin Ying also understood more intuitively why the Mavericks won the championship this year in history.

Their overall strength is better than their overall state, and they are not much worse than last year's Suns.

If it were last year's Suns, full of physical energy and high morale, it's hard to say who would win in a fight between the two sides.

But now, it's going to be really hard for them to beat the Mavericks.

In the end, the Suns lost to the Mavericks 91-105 in G1.

Nowitzki made 15 of 20 shots and scored 40 points.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

Lin Ying contributed his second buzzer beater in this year's playoffs in G2, a difficult breakthrough layup that helped the Suns equalize the score in a thrilling manner.

In G4, he scored 40+ points in a single game, single-handedly tying the series at 2-2.

But when it comes to Tianwangshan and G6, the Suns have physical problems, state problems, and even injury problems.

By the end of the game, the Suns basically felt like they were determined to fight but unable to continue.

With a score of 2-4, their title defense finally ended in the Western Conference semifinals.

In the handshake ceremony after the game, Nowitzki and Lin Ying hugged each other for a long time.

Although he himself and even the entire Mavericks team played very well.

But in essence, there is still a lot of luck involved in the Mavericks' win.

In a sense, they even missed it.

Lin Ying also had many regrets in his heart. After all, the road to defending the title could not be completed in the end.

But in fact, he had already vaguely felt this result in his heart.

From the beginning of the season, Stoudemire and Nash had state problems one after another, and then he was forced to play more and got injured. Later in the season, he had to work early in order to improve the record. As a result, he ran into the Rockets and worked hard until he was exhausted, and finally encountered the state. The hot Mavericks unfortunately lost.

This whole process is like playing League of Legends with a snowballing disadvantage at the beginning. In the end, everything seems futile.

Of course, in addition to these helplessness, Lin Ying also had another very firm voice in his heart.

He will win it back!

The things mentioned earlier are things he cannot change. What he can change is his own strength.

Grover said that he is laying the foundation this season, so this summer is the time for him to start to master the true small forward skills!

And there will be a lockout this summer, so he will have more time to train.

So he will definitely win it back next season!

In fact, it wasn't just Lin Ying who had this idea. When he returned to the locker room, it was also the idea of ​​most of the Suns players.

Even Nash got up and apologized to everyone.

Except for Lin Ying, who had to train alone with Grover, everyone else had made an appointment to train together in the summer.

At this time, Durant called, showed concern for him, and mentioned the Western Conference Finals.

Now the Thunder and the Grizzlies are tied at 3-3, and they have to play a tiebreaker. The Thunder will enter the Western Conference Finals after winning the tiebreaker, but the Suns are already out.

In other words, they made an appointment for the Western Conference Finals. Last year Durant broke the contract, and this year he broke the contract.

I don’t know whether to say that Durant is an old stage general with too many flags to place, or that they have no chance of playing in the Western Conference Finals together.

But if nothing else happens, they should be able to meet in a real sense next season.

Next season for the Thunder, Harden will evolve to a super-six level, Westbrook will also develop a mid-range shot, and even Ibaka will start to realize his talents. In addition, Perkins, the rim protection artifact acquired from the previous trade, then But in history, the Thunder's youth team reached its peak, and it also reached the finals in history.

As for the Suns, Nash will regain his form, Stoudemire will complete his transformation, and he himself will evolve again.

"Then, see you in the Western Conference next year!"

Lin Ying couldn't help but speak.

It only took three, and he still didn't believe that he couldn't get a date in the third year!
