In the playoffs on the 22nd, the Portland Trail Blazers became the first team to be eliminated from the round of 16.

Damian Lillard undoubtedly continued the Trail Blazers' fate of producing a tragic superstar, and the third place in the West who thought he would make a difference, fell to the New Orleans Pelicans with a crisp 4-0 victory. Lillard, who played almost the full fourth game, scored 19 points, compared with the 88 points of Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday combined, it seems that he is more and more lacking in talent and lonely heroes.

On the same day, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who played their first playoff home game in 14 years, finally grabbed a win in the seventh meeting between the two teams this season, led by Jimmy Butler.

Yang Yiming contributed 10 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, which was not outstanding enough and naturally could not help the team win.

On the other hand, the Utah Jazz, who also returned to their home stadium in Salt Lake City, won against the Thunder and regained the series advantage 2-1. Donovan Mitchell was once again the winner of the game, finishing with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. On the field, he seems to be able to be a force to compete with the Big Three.

Could it be that Mitchell, who is provided by Nicholas as as a training method, really opened the gap with Yang Yiming? After watching the game between the Jazz and the Thunder, Yu Xiaochun couldn't help but be deeply worried. And Scott Jr., who is far away in Los Angeles, California, is also the same as Yu Xiaochun, thinking about Mitchell and can't sleep...

1/

It's already hot in late April in Los Angeles. Little Scott's house is on the second floor of a beach villa, and if the windows are all opened, or the air conditioning is turned on to the maximum power as usual, the house will cool down a lot. However, little Scott deliberately closed all the doors and windows today, leaving no cracks. The scorching heat of the weather, coupled with the heat emitted by various electronic devices, stuffed the room like a giant steamer, and little Scott was like the center of the steamer, waiting for the shrimp to be brought out of the pot, the color turned from blue to red, and sweat continued to seep out of the skin.

He "abused" himself in this way, as if by heating himself, he could hold back the ideas he was looking for.

But I still don't have a clue.

Since leaving the Kennedy Space Center in Houston and returning to Los Angeles, Squat Jr. has not left the room. He locked himself up and didn't see the light of day all day, just meditating in front of the computer screen. The only time I see someone every day is when I open the door to greet the pizza delivery guy: the empty pizza box in the corner of the room has been piled up half a person high, and in the stuffy and unventilated room, there is a faint smell of sour rot.

But none of that was Scott's focus.

The focus of his concern is right in front of him at this moment. Data, highlights, videos, interviews, lace, photos, social media accounts, and even past videos and information from family and friends are slapped on the screen in front of him, and the most important content is magnified on a fan-shaped projection wall, which is carefully analyzed.

The room that filled the world representing his entire surroundings was the only one name, Donovan Mitchell.

That's all he cares about.

Little Scott was glad he had escaped from the white warehouse. He was also glad that his identity was not revealed, and Nicholas only regarded him as another Team Rocket "person" who was traveling with Yu Xiaochun Amy. The other party even talked about their "sea of stars" plan, encouraging them to recruit more NBA players for it and work together to make a big plan. In this way, he is still in the shadows, and his identity as a player's "skill adder" can still be hidden.

But being an ostrich with its head buried in the dirt is clearly not enough!

Scott Jr. needs to come up with a solution.

His "training method" led by big data analytics has been very effective and unstoppable. For example, the cheats he provided to Yu Xiaochun and Yang Yiming for the "Ten Blocking Ability Bonus" relied on the results of the analysis and summary of Yang Yiming's ten regular season opponents, especially the shooting timing, shooting tendencies, strengths and weaknesses of the opposing players. As a result, Yang Yiming, who held the "cheats", saw his average number of blocks per game soar to 3 in ten games, and even had the performance of brushing out 5 hot pots in three consecutive games.

But this data-driven approach doesn't seem to work for Mitchell.

Assuming the Jazz beat the Thunder to advance to the next round, they will play against the Rockets, and Yang Yiming will play against Mitchell. If you want to prove that your method is stronger than Nicholas's space "black technology", the most direct way is to let Yang Yiming have the upper hand in the counterpoint and suppress Mitchell!

But it's not easy!

Although Yang Yiming is better in terms of basketball talent, even with the various cheats provided by Scott Jr., the process of releasing his talent is linear, and it cannot be completed overnight. For example, after learning the hot pot cheats, because of his excellent understanding of basketball, Yang Yiming's sealing ability has also improved to a certain extent after the cheats are over. But this is completely different from Mitchell's explosion of physical ability through Nicholas's training. According to Scott Jr., Mitchell's physical fitness has been on an exponential rise since before All-Star Weekend, and it's changing every day!

This changes so fast that Scott's data analysis and inductive methods don't work for Mitchell!

What used to be an efficient, immediate approach is now as slow as a turtle crawling!

According to his father, Kalonsky II, Mitchell's overall score for physical fitness is close to a perfect score. And whether it will continue to improve in the future and break through the upper limit of 100 points, according to Nicholas, is also very likely!

Because the use of space biotechnology itself is to escape the shackles of the earth! In the future, Mitchell itself will become the new perfect score standard.

This thought made Scott Jr. feel a deep sense of despair.

If the opponent is focused on how to break through the upper limit of human beings, what role can their own cheats play in small repairs?

The problem suddenly became, how to defeat an alien who can completely suppress himself with his body alone!

Scott Jr. couldn't help but think of the movie of the air slam dunk starring Jordan. However, a cartoon with an infinitely elongated arm obviously does not help him at the moment.

Stuck in that endless loop again...

Understand that the problem is there, but you can't find the answer.

Little Scott, who was about to give up, put his feet on the table, let the sweat on his back seep through the T-shirt and stick to the back of the leather office chair, and was not ready to move it again. He sank into the soft wrap of his chair, letting his helplessness engulf him.

He adjusted his body slightly, trying to make himself more comfortable. There was a hard object in his back pants pocket that hit little Scott as he flipped it.

He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled the hard object out.

It's the 25-cent coin.

The 25-cent coin, which he used to hold in his hand and played with and gambled with many players, including Yu Xiaochun, is still clearly legible in engraving and patterning.

"InGodeTrust" is a line of words engraved on the coin.

Oh, God. Little Scott never believed in God. If you have to arrange a "God", Scott's God Jr. is probably "data", 0 and 1 in the virtual world. Just like the reverse side of this coin, on one side is a bust of George Washington, the founding president of the United States, and on the other side is the eagle, the national emblem of the United States. If Washington is 1, then the eagle is 0; If the eagle is 1, then Washington is 0 in reverse. There is always one opposite, and there is always only one result: "yes", or "no".

That's why little Scott likes to carry his coins with him.

But because of the worries about Mitchell, he hadn't pulled out the coin and threw it for a long time. Little Scott tossed it casually, and the coin flew into the corner of the room, but he didn't hear the sound of it landing. Little Scott turned his head to look, but he couldn't find the coin, so he had to leave his chair and get up to find that the coin had just been stuck on the edge of the corrugated paper of the pizza box in the corner

The lid and the gap between the box.

The coin actually landed right here, and it was stuck by two pieces of corrugated paper!

Washington and the Eagles, neither of them are exposed.

Neither 1 nor 0.

Little Scott suddenly had an idea!
