Chapter 373: Regular Season MVP Season Reimbursed?
However, when this matter is implemented, of course, it is necessary to be careful, after all, some time ago, Ye Xuan just didn't try his best to defend on the field, and as a result, he was directly said by someone with a heart to release water, and he almost made a big fuss. Therefore, this time, the 'water release' plan, the Pacers team did a very covert job, including Ye Xuan's rotation, and it was claimed that Ye Xuan felt unwell during training, so he needed to recuperate for a week.
When the Pacers officially announced that Ye Xuan would be absent from the Hornets game, the outside was still calm, but when the Pacers successfully lost the game with the Hornets, and the Pacers officially announced that Ye Xuan would continue to miss the game with the Heat, the outside media suddenly exploded.
Because Ye Xuan missed two games in a row, and the Pacers officials did not give Ye Xuan the details of his injury, only that he felt unwell during training. As a result, this ambiguous way of speaking gave these brain-opening media a chance to make up nonsense, and the media had never seen Ye Xuan in these places such as hospitals, Ye Xuan seemed to have evaporated, which made these reporters think they had found the truth and began to report on it. What Ye Xuan has actually been seriously injured for the season, and now he will recuperate from his injury in China. What Ye Xuan is because he was ruined by the pickled pepper pad black feet who grabbed the position of the team boss with him during training. In short, what kind of statement is more bizarre, how they come.
Fortunately, the Pacers are not ready to continue to use this water release tactic in the next game, after all, what they want is to control their ranking in the fourth and fifth positions, and now after two consecutive defeats, the Pacers have the same points as the Bulls, although because of the win or loss, the Pacers are still in the third place in the East, but then they only need to lose one game to complete their intended goal.
And it is impossible for them to continue to let Ye Xuan continue to take turns off, because the media outside have already opened their minds to say that Ye Xuan was avenged by the gangsters. So when it came to the 9th, Ye Xuan immediately came back, this game against the Knicks at the bottom of the East, Ye Xuan appeared directly on the court, but unfortunately the time he played was not particularly much, but not because they played a trick in order to pretend that Ye Xuan had just returned from injury, but because Ye Xuan used too much force after he came on the court, and he clocked out of work directly in the first quarter of the game, by the way, I forgot to say that Ye Xuan played the first quarter of the game and directly scored 26 points and 6 assists of super data, and helped the Pacers take an 18-point lead in one quarter of the game.
After this game, Ye Xuan first apologized to everyone, saying that he felt some muscle spasms in his back during training, and the team was now in a worry-free situation in the playoffs, so he simply let himself recuperate at home for a few days, but it was hyped up by the media.
Ye Xuan's comeback successfully broke the rumors from the outside world, but the Pacers immediately encountered another problem, because the day after the Pacers defeated the Knicks, there was bad news from the Bulls, and the Bulls, who had been equal to the Pacers, actually lost to the Lakers, whose record was so bad that it exploded.
This news also made Ye Xuan and Frank Vogel a little dizzy, after all, Ye Xuan had just 'recovered' from his injury, so it was impossible to let him be 'injured' again immediately, right? But after discussing it for a while, I found that the only way to make it decisive was to let Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper take turns to rest.
So after playing the game with the Pistons on the 11th, the Pacers officially announced again that after the end of the away game, Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper both felt varying degrees of discomfort, and they will be suspended in the next game against the Thunder.
After losing the game against the Thunder, they continued to rotate and then lost to their most likely opponent in the playoffs, the Wizards. Originally, they thought that they would be firmly in fourth place in the East, but the Bulls had another problem, and they overturned again in the game against the Pelicans, and forced the Pacers to shove the third place in the East into their arms and returned it to the Pacers.
This made the Pacers have to continue to rotate the two main players, and the game with the Memphis Grizzlies is also the last regular season game of the season, fortunately, the Bulls did not continue to overturn, they successfully won the battle with the 76ers, and got the third place in the East, while the Pacers lost 5 of the last 7 games, so they fell from third in the East to fourth in the East.
The regular season is over, the records of the East and West are also out, the West is still the league leader The Warriors are in first place, followed by the Rockets and the Clippers, the Trail Blazers are in fourth place, and the Grizzlies and Spurs can only be relegated to fifth and sixth, especially to mention, in fact, the Trail Blazers only have 51 wins, while the Grizzlies and Spurs have 55 wins, but because the Rockets, Spurs and Grizzlies are all in the Southwest Division, their rankings have become what they are now, After that, the Mavericks are seventh in the West, and the eighth in the West is the Pelicans, who are in full swing to make the playoffs after the trade.
Although the Thunder were forcibly 'conceded' by the Pacers at the end of the season, they were finally blocked from the playoffs by one win due to the loss of Durant.
In contrast, the record of the Eastern side is much more modest, the Hawks in the first place in the East have 59 wins, the second Cavaliers have 56 wins, the third Bulls have dropped to 53 wins in an instant, and then the Pacers have 52 wins, followed by the Wizards' 50 wins, the Raptors' 49 wins, the Celtics' 42 wins and the Bucks' 40 wins, and the Nets are very regrettably ranked ninth in the East and missed the playoffs.
In this way, the format of the playoff matchups is clear, and several of them are very concerned by the audience, the first is the Warriors vs. the Pelicans, you must know that although the current Pelicans are ranked eighth in the West, his combat effectiveness is not the eighth position in the West can show, the Splash Brothers vs. Anthony combination (Carmelo Anthony Davis) is enough to attract people's attention.
Secondly, the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks is also very interesting, after all, this is also a pair of old enemies, and the experience of the old driver in the playoffs also makes people look forward to them being able to peck at the Rockets.
