Chapter 30: The Regular Season Ends

On the 10th, the Hornets flew to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away.

The Hornets are ready to take the win away from Memphis in high spirits, with a 35-game winning streak. They came with a stirring mood, but they returned disappointed.

In this game, head coach Williams originally wanted to force the fat man to take turns off, but he couldn't withstand the fat man's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he agreed to play. However, when he got on the court, Williams still compressed his playing time.

Originally, the fat man's playing time hovered between thirty-five and forty minutes, but now it has been directly compressed to twenty-five minutes, and not a minute is given.

Although the fat man was full of resentment towards Williams's arrangement, he still had to accept Williams's arrangement. Because it was a unanimous decision from the coaching staff, owner Benson agreed.

The fat man was resentful, but he didn't blame Williams for the arrangement. If you want to blame, you blame yourself for being too rebellious. The average rookie can play 35 minutes, but he averages 35+ minutes per game.

As long as he is a normal person, he will not overuse himself, and the fat man is now the pillar of the Wasps, the cornerstone of the Hornets, and he can't be used up in one season.

Williams also explained to the fat man what he and the coaching staff meant by doing this - the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I chase.

What does that mean! is to let go when you encounter a strong team, not to fight hard with them, and to preserve your strength; When you encounter a weak team, you must chase and fight hard, and you must win from them.

It sounds a bit bloody, but it's true.

The Hornet's victory is enough for now, and it's time to take refuge. They can't put all their energy into the regular season, otherwise they will have fun in the regular season, but they will enter the playoffs without the slightest preparation, and as soon as they enter the playoffs, they will be blackened, and their faces will be lost to their grandmother's house.

Bumblebee, you can't lose this face!

For the sake of the playoffs, Williams also took great pains to suppress the grievances of the fat man. And it's not just the fat man, the main players of the Hornets generally don't have much playing time, most of the time they are a main player with four substitutes playing, such a lineup meets the Grizzlies, who are known for their iron-blooded defense in the league, and it's no wonder that they can win!

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets 103-89 to end the Hornets' winning streak. Yang Yi played 25 minutes in this game, with a total of 21 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, and the data has shrunk a lot from before.

The end of the Hornets' winning streak has relieved all the teams in the league, and the Hornets are really terrible. Playing against the Hornets, first of all, the momentum is nine points weaker, how can you beat the Hornets!

Now, the Hornets' winning streak has finally ended, and they can play against the Hornets normally!

There are many teams that think this way, and the No. 11, the opponent who is playing back-to-back home - the Trail Blazers, who are fifth from the bottom in the West, also have this kind of thinking.

In the impression of Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stottes, the team that the Hornets experienced a long winning streak and the end of the winning streak is the best to deal with. Because when they won the streak, their spirit and spirit had been exhausted, and there was not much physical energy left. After the streak was ended, their euphoria vanished, leaving behind a long period of sink, and now was the perfect time to beat the Reservoir Dogs.

The Hornets' winning streak was ended, and it was indeed a bit depressing, and all the players couldn't lift their spirits.

It's just that Yang Yi is an exception, and the other players are really tired and have to rest. But he doesn't lack physical strength, and second, he has a debt of 300 glory points, how can he do it if he doesn't work hard!

It's good to say that the team won, with 5 points in the account; But if you lose, you will deduct 2 glory points, plus the interest of 3 points per day, how can it be considered a loss, what will you use to repay the debt at that time?

For the sake of points, the fat man can be regarded as an open-minded person.

Against the Trail Blazers at home, despite only 25 minutes of playing time, he still played god-level statistics, with 52 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, leading a group of rotation players and water cooler guards to sweep the Trail Blazers 118-103.

The pioneers came with excitement and returned with defeat!

The next three consecutive away games, the Hornets have a record of one win and two losses.

No. 13, lost to the Nets away.

No. 16, lost to the Wizards away.

On the eighteenth, he defeated the league's weak team Timberwolves away.

For the two defeats away, Yang Yi was bleeding in his heart, and all he lost was points!

After a wave of away games, the Hornets ushered in good news, and in the next seven games, they were all at home, but except for the Cavaliers, they encountered all hard bones.

No. 19, home against the Warriors, win!

Twenty-one, home game against Celtic, win!

On the 23rd, he played against the Grizzlies at home and won a big victory, slaughtering the Grizzlies 123-99.

On the twenty-sixth, the Nuggets played at home, lost!

No. 28, home game against the Clippers, win!

On the 30th, the home game against the Heat, lose!

It's April.

On April 1st, the Hornets played the Cavaliers at home and won!

The advantage of playing at home is fleeting, and the next game is a time when the home and away games are uncertain.

No. 4, away challenge the Warriors, lose!

No. 6, away challenge Jazz, win!

No. 8, away challenge the Suns, win!

No. 10, away challenge Lakers, lose!

On the eleventh, challenge the king away and win!

No. 13, home against the Clippers, lose!

On the fifteenth, the home game against the Mavericks, win!

On the eighteenth, challenge the Mavericks away and win!

So far, the 2012~13 regular season has ended.

This season has been a season for the Hornets, who have a 66-16 record and are the best in the league.

In addition, the biggest winner of the Hornets is Yang Yi. Although his scoring dropped due to the forced compression of playing time to 25 minutes after the winning streak was ended, he still topped the league scoring list with an average of 42.53 per game and a total of 3,488 points at the end of the season, and opened the second in the scoring list with 13.83 points from Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony averaged 28.7 points per game after the season, which may have been the leading scorer in previous years. But when he met Yang Yi, an unreasonable guy, he could only take a back seat.

Yang's average score of 42.53 points in a game amazed countless people. In his rookie season, he averaged 40+ points per game, and he was the first in the league. Even the god of basketball is not so rebellious, and the ancient god Chamberlain is also out of reach.

Although Chamberlain averaged 44.83 points per game in the '60s and 50.36 points per game in the 1961-62 season, none of them had as dazzling as Yang Yi in their rookie season.

These honors have taken Fatman's reputation to the next level, and sneaker sales have skyrocketed. However, the fat man does not care about these, he cares more about points.

He doesn't know how much money he has earned, and his position in the league has been firmly established by one game at a time. Glory points are his only concern.

After the victory over the Lakers, he has a total of 55 glory points, minus the 18 glory points from losing nine games, leaving 37 glory points, plus the previous 39 and the remaining 65 from promotion, he has a total of 141 glory points.

His goal is the sea of stars, points, and his avenue of stars to the sea of stars!
