With one month left in the regular season, all the media is focused on the Bulls' game, and the coverage is overwhelming.

It can be said that the outside world is all waiting for the moment when they break the record.

However, at this time, Xu Yong felt unprecedented pressure from his teammates.

This is completely different from the mentality of everyone who worked hard to fight for this record before.

Because now they really can't afford to lose a game.

That situation is no longer motivation, but pressure, a huge pressure, which overwhelms most people.

Three consecutive wins, five consecutive wins, in the game against the Celtics, the Bulls couldn't contain Thomas Jr. almost lost the game, and finally relied on Xu Yong's stunner to win the thrilling victory.

And after the win, the players did not feel excited, only tired.

All teams want to be the ones who stop them from breaking the record, and that will go down in history.

In other words, the opponents they meet every night are like drugged, and if they can't win, they can shed a layer of skin.

After the game on this day, looking at the tired players, Xu Yong couldn't help but fall into thought.

As a reborn, it's hard not to think of the Warriors team with a 73-win win right now.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to the specific details of the process, but it was similar to their current situation.

Other teams have started to rest their main players at the end of the season to prepare for the playoffs, but they can only keep their nerves tight and fight hard night and night.

He remembered that the Warriors' injuries did not erupt in the regular season, but in the playoffs because of continued fatigue.

Beat the record with all your might, and then everything is complete?

Wrong, even if it's the first and eighth in the playoffs, the intensity is greater than in the regular season.

It's a bit like the college entrance exam, where you think you've worked hard to get into your dream university and finally relax, but in fact college is a much more brutal competition.

The Bulls continue like this, and when that tense nerve can no longer be pulled, there is a certain probability that they will experience what the Warriors experienced.

Because he played like that during the period when Butler and Adams were sidelined, their record was only 8-2.

Basketball is, after all, a five-person sport.

And don't forget, the president of the league is no longer Stern, but Xiao Hua, who has an alternative preference for the Warriors.

But now they can't stop.

At this time, it is not only their own choice, but also carried forward by the torrent of external voices.

If you really lose at this time, the blow to the morale of the Bulls will be huge.

Breaking records is not necessarily a good thing; If you don't break the record, it's not a good thing, and there is no solution.

In fact, if it weren't for the injuries of Butler and Adams, they might not have fallen into this unsolvable situation now, because there is room to lose, their psychological pressure and the mentality of their opponents are completely different.

But it's still the same sentence, but unfortunately not if.

Finally, Xu Yong, who had been thinking for a long time, stood up and left the locker room under the puzzled eyes of his teammates.

He went to Thibodeau's office.

Thibodeau also looked like he had a lot less hair, and he had only a lot more pressure on his shoulders than his teammates.

"Tom, I'm hurt." The first sentence Xu Yong said made Xibodu stunned.

"Where? Is it serious? Thibodeau, who reacted, looked at Xu Yong with a slightly nervous expression, it was the first time he had heard that Xu Yong was injured after coaching Xu Yong for so many years.

"My knee is a little sore, it's not serious, maybe it's okay to rest for three or four days." Xu Yong said calmly.

"Three or four days?" Thibodeau glanced at Xu Yong, and soon he realized what Xu Yong wanted to do.

They play the Pacers in two days, and then there will be two days off schedule.

He didn't say anything, got up and walked over to Xu Yong, and then gave Xu Yong a big, tight hug.

As the head coach, he naturally knows how tight the team's nerves are now, but he also knows that the situation is unsolvable, as Xu Yong thought before.

Now Xu Yong has found the only way to break the game, but the price is for Xu Yong to bear the pressure alone.

The next day, the Bulls officially announced that Xu Yong was fine because of knee soreness, but he was expected to miss for about a week.

When this news came out, it instantly attracted heated discussions among fans, because the Bulls can't miss Xu Yong without anyone, and they will play the Pacers next, and there is a high probability that they will lose, and they will not be able to break the record.

Of course, the interesting thing is that some fans were surprised to find that Xu Yong has the most consecutive appearances among active players, reaching 482 games.

Then take a closer look, this is the first time Xu Yong has missed a game since he entered the NBA for six seasons!

After discovering this, the fans only felt outrageous, and they only felt outrageous, and they were outrageous.

That's probably only one of AC Green's 1,192 consecutive appearances and 82 games in nine consecutive seasons.

But even outrageous Green missed three games in his rookie year.

Players are also human beings, there are always reasons for this or that in life, Xu Yong is not as ascetic as Green, and there are many scandals with Hollywood actresses, but if you look closely, the good guy is even more fierce than Green.

So in addition to being surprised, the fans felt that this was normal, if Xu Yong really didn't miss the game all the time, they all felt that they had to pull Xu Yong to slice and study it to see if he had any special genes.

The game with the Pacers did not happen unexpectedly, the Pacers had a strong record in the East this season after the Bulls and Cavaliers, and the Bulls lacked Xu Yong to lose the game.

Because he knew before the game that Xu Yong couldn't play, the outside world didn't react much to the Bulls' loss.

And after this game, the Bulls players returned to the locker room with some talking and laughing, and the state was completely different from before.

It felt like that tense nerve had finally relaxed.

Seeing this, Xu Yong knew that he had made the right choice.

Two days after the game against the Pacers, the Bulls announced that Seo Yong's injury recovery was better than expected and that he would return for the game against the Spurs.

Seo's early comeback greatly boosted the morale of the Bulls, who eventually defeated the Spurs 114-96.

And what can be clearly felt is that as the Bulls lost the opportunity to break the historical record, the opponent's desire to compete also fell off a cliff.

So in the end, it's a double win.

……

The time came to mid-April, and the curtain of the 2014~2015 regular season came to an end.

The Western Warriors are in first place with 67 wins.

Curry, the team's core player, averaged 23.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2 steals per game this season, shooting 48.7% from the field and 44.3% from three-point range.

Klay Thompson averaged 21.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 43.9 percent from three-point range.

Draymond Green averaged 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 33.7 percent from three-point range.

The Thunder are in second place with 62 wins.

Durant averaged 30.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 53% from the field and 41.3% from three-point range.

is different from the history that Xu Yong knows, because the Thunder team has basically focused on Harden this season, Durant is more in charge of the shot, which has greatly reduced his physical consumption, and he did not suffer serious injuries as in history, but played the most efficient season of his career.

Harden averaged 25.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 45.6% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range.

With the increase in ball possession, he averaged more than 25 points per game for the first time, setting a new career high along with assists.

The Mavericks are third with 58 wins.

Leonard averaged 23.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2 steals per game while shooting 50.6% from the field and 44.3% from three-point range.

Instead of continuing to dominate the ball like everyone else, Nowitzki has begun the transition of power within the team, with Leonard becoming the Mavericks' leading scorer.

Of course, all this has a lot to do with Rondo's presence, and his organization has allowed Leonard's efficiency to increase without decreasing with the increase in ball possession.

The Trail Blazers are fourth with 51 wins.

It is worth mentioning that the league has officially announced that from the 2015~2016 season, there will no longer be a rule of "protection for the top four in the region", but this rule is still in effect that season.

The Grizzlies are fifth with 55 wins.

The Clippers are in sixth place with 55 wins.

The Spurs are seventh with 50 wins.

The Pelicans are eighth with 45 wins.

Westbrook had a very personal season, averaging 23.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game, becoming the second player in the league to average a triple-double in the regular season after "Oscar" Robert.

As a result, after he hit this statistic, Robertson's historical status fell off a cliff.

As for the Lakers, Bryant played only 35 games before being reimbursed for the season, and Howard still failed to bring the team to the playoffs.

According to the latest news, Howard has communicated with management and parted peacefully, and the team is expected to put him on the shelf in the offseason.

In the East, the Bulls' record was settled at 72-10.

After relaxing their mentality and changing their opponents' mentality, the Bulls won the rest of the game with a relatively relaxed attitude, which also allowed them to tie the team history and historical record.

It's a shame that they didn't break the record, but more importantly, the Bulls got out of that tight state before the playoffs began, which helped them play in the playoffs.

In terms of statistics, Xu Yong averaged 31.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 52.6% and a three-point shooting rate of 40.2%.

The absence of Butler and Adams improved his stats, and it was also the third scoring title in his career after winning the 2011~2013 season.

Butler averaged 20.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 46.2% from the field and 37.8% from three-point range.

In the final season of his rookie career, he hit 20+5+5 stats for the first time, and his efficiency was also the highest in recent years.

Rose averaged 16.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 37 percent from three-point range.

David West is averaging 11.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the field.

Adams is averaging 7.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, including 3.1 frontcourt boards, while shooting 54.4 percent from the field.

The Cavaliers are in second place with 60 wins.

James averaged 25.3 points, 6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game while shooting 48.8% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range.

Statistically, this is James' worst season since his rookie season, especially since the number of turnovers he cares about the most has averaged 3.9 per game, a career-high year.

The Cavaliers sat on the Big Four and ended up with only 60 wins, and the run-in was a problem that plagued them all season.

In particular, James's wave of planning was very good, but in the end it didn't work.

Irving averaged 21.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from three-point range.

Love averaged 16.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 43.5% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range.

Davis averaged 13.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game while shooting 51.6 percent from the field.

The Pacers are third with 58 wins.

Anthony averaged 26.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 47.6% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range.

Paul averaged 19.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three-point range.

The Raptors are fourth in the East with 52 wins.

DeRozan averaged 20.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 41.3% from the field.

Lowry averaged 17.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field.

From the data, it may be understandable why they are called "garbage brothers" in the history that Xu Yong has experienced, because they do have a gap with the first-line superstars in terms of efficiency.

The good news is that Casey has started to promote Antetokounmpo from the bench to the starting power forward, and he has played 71 of his 81 games this season, averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, and he has brought a lot of energy to the team's defense.

The Hawks, Wizards, Celtics, and Heat are ranked 5~8.

Bosh's season was reimbursed, Wade's form declined, Hibbert became [Gao Yuanyuan], Riley's abacus was finally scattered all over the place, and the Heat finally barely got 40 wins to make the playoffs.

……

"The Heat are eighth in the end?" After playing the last game, looking at Butler, who came over to tell him the result with great interest, Xu Yong was also a little surprised, because before that, the Heat was still one win ahead of the Celtics.

"Yes, they lost to the Grizzlies in their last game, and they had the same record as Boston, but they fell to eighth because of the win-loss game." Listening to this analysis, Butler should have been paying close attention to the situation over there before the game.

"Fate." After listening to what Butler said, Xu Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at the trade deadline, he still felt that he had no chance to "take revenge" on the Heat, but he didn't expect the situation to change too quickly, and they met in the first round.

It must be a special fate.

Butler, who was originally in high spirits, showed a ghostly smile at this time, and then handed over the phone.

Xu Yong picked it up and looked at it suspiciously, and soon discovered the origin of Butler's smile.

It turned out to be a post-game report about the Heat.

"We've beaten them in the last two years, and we can do it this year"

This news headline is very saliva, and it is Wade who said it.

Xu Yong couldn't help but touch his chin, and then looked at the report carefully.

After reading it, he will understand.

"Considering the results of the team's meetings over the past two seasons, do you think the Heat have a chance this year?"

The reporter was obviously inducing Wade, Wade jumped into the pit, and the report also had some headlines.

However, Wade has been in the league for many years, and with his interview experience, he will not fail to find this kind of pit.

It's more like Pierce, or Draymond Greene.

But it's not inexplicable, think about it from another perspective, if you are a member of the Heat team, just lost a key card battle, and have to face an opponent with 72 wins, how confident can you be in your heart to defeat the opponent?

Wade, as the leader of the team, is reasonable to boost the morale of the players by answering in this way at this time.

"I'll stop it." Seeing that Xu Yong had finished reading the report, Butler put away his smile at this time and said with a firm gaze.

Hearing this, Xu Yong turned his head to look at Butler.

Maybe others have forgotten it, but he still remembers what Butler said after losing to the Heat last year.

Butler wants to play the Heat more than anyone.

He patted Butler on the shoulder, then nodded and said, "Let's bury them." ”

If Bosh's blood clot is inevitable and the Heat are doomed, then they will bury each other with their own hands.

Just like they once did with Boston.

Before the playoffs officially kick off, the league announced the first awards of the season.

The day before the game against the Heat, the Bulls had a celebratory ceremony for Thibodeau in the locker room.

After a four-year hiatus, Thibodeau has once again won the Coach of the Year award.

Twenty years ago, Phil Jackson waited for Jordan's return to bring the Bulls, who had 47 wins the previous season, to 72 wins.

Twenty years later, the Bulls welcomed Rose back, and Thibodeau took the Bulls, who had 52 wins last season, to 72 wins.

Although the stories are different, the history is always strikingly similar.

The next day, the Bulls sat on home to take on the Heat.

The Union Center was full of attendance, and the unexpected encounter with the Heat in the first round not only made the Bulls everyone eager to try, but also made the Bulls fans impatient.

The photographers at the scene were also looking for Wade in the warm-up session.

Wade's expression in the camera looks relaxed, which can't help but make fans wonder, could it be that the Heat team has prepared some big move tonight?

After the warm-up, the award ceremony for the best coach was held, and Thibodeau received the second best coach trophy of his coaching career to the cheers of the fans.

After six years of coaching and two awards, Thibodeau has become one of the top coaches.

Entering the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides were released one after another.

Heat: Dragic, Wade, Deng, Haslem, Hibbert

Bulls: Rose, Butler, Xu Yong, West, Adams

In fact, it is not surprising that fans will have doubts, although Bosh can't play, but it can be seen from the starting lineup that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

"Put enough pressure on them from the start and don't let them feel like they have any chances." When it came to the final tactical set-up before going on the pitch, Thibodeau did not waste time on specific tactics, but only emphasized one point.

Before going on the court, Xu Yong led the players to shout a slogan, and he agreed with Thibodeau's point of view, the Heat team really makes them feel that they have a chance, and they will immediately become the most difficult [hard bones] in the lower half of the region.

At the same time, Wade did the same thing next door.

With the referee's whistle, Hibbert turned the ball back to the Heat halfcourt and officially kicked off the game.

Wade received the ball when he got to the frontcourt, and he and Hibbert blocked it and went straight to the inside.

Butler was very focused on defending the ball, going around the block in advance and then blocking Wade's breakthrough route.

But Wade was tough and jumped to the basket against Butler's defense.

Butler also raised his hands in the air to maintain a defensive posture and show no weakness.

Wade leaned on Butler's sideways low hand for a layup in the air, but Butler couldn't turn around at this point, and he finally hit the ball with a wipe board.

Butler turned around and shook his hand after seeing the ball, and he said in front of Xu Yong that he would guard Wade, but the result was unfavorable.

Xu Yong went over and touched his head and motioned for him to go to the backcourt to serve.

Butler's defense is actually in place, and if it weren't for the presence of the [Vertical Jump Gauge], this ball would have been able to be defended.

Xu Yong pindown the ball in the frontcourt, and the Heat directly hit him.

As an old rival, Spoelstra is clearly well prepared.

It's just that his readiness doesn't help.

Xu Yong made a feint to pass the ball to Butler, forcing Wade, who was assisting in the defense, to step back, grab the ball with one hand and pull the ball back, and quickly turned around and threw a jumper without dribbling, and his hand fell up.

This ball highlights a clean and neat one, and the main hit is a "your business to pinch the shot, and it's my business whether it works or not".

Wade continued to block and dismantle with Hibbert, and then used a lost step against Butler's close defense, jumping up and twisting his body in the air to shoot.

Butler's ball predicted Wade's choice, and there was a big interference in the air, and Wade's shot went wide of the basket.

However, after Wade landed, he quickly jumped twice and went straight to the rebound, which caused an exclamation from the scene.

has suffered injuries for three consecutive seasons, especially this season, the decline in the overall competitive state after Wade's return is more obvious, otherwise the Heat team would not have slipped all the way to this position.

But from the opening camera language to the body movements on the court, Xu Yong's previous analysis was recruited, and he was setting an example in this way to find the possibility of winning for the Heat.

But just as Wade jumped, Butler jumped almost at the same time, and he grabbed the ball into his arms after the aerial confrontation.

He has already been unfavorable, how can he let Wade score twice!

After grabbing the rebound, Butler turned around and drove fast with the ball.

Dragic immediately stuck to Rose's fast-break thruster, but Butler didn't slow down, and Xu Yong followed quickly from the wing.

When following up to the three-point line in the frontcourt, Butler distributed the ball, Xu Yong received the ball to face Dragic, who was switched to the defense, jumped up in the air and turned a 360° to rebound and send the ball into the basket lightly.

The cheers at the scene have exploded.

For two rounds in a row, Xu Yong's offensive moves were like flowing water.

Although he did not continue to enrich his arsenal, his various technical refinements, especially after a season of polishing, made him more comfortable.

After returning to the defensive end, the Bulls also strictly implemented Thibodeau's game strategy and continued to increase the defensive intensity.

Wade's breakthrough this time was directly forced to a halt by Butler.

His injuries can't have no effect on him, and he tried to lead the whole team at the beginning, but after a lot of hard work, he is no longer the omnipotent Flash.

And just as he turned around and was about to look for his teammates, Xu Yong saw the opportunity to directly kill the ball from the diagonal side and cut the ball away.

After controlling the ball, he flicked the ball to the outside of Rose.

Rose pushed for a fast break, and the tempo change squeezed out Dragic's layup.

However, the angle of the shot was a little off, and the ball came directly over the basket over the bridge.

But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of exclamations at the scene.

Xu Yong has arrived.

He followed up and took to the air, grabbing a basketball across the bridge and a stagnant back in the air......

"Bang!"

Directly completed the deduction!

Rose's crossing of the bridge directly became an empty connection!

2 to 6.

Xu Yong scored 6 points in the opening game.

After landing, Xu Yong was also slightly excited, and he bumped his chest with Butler, who was late for the fast attack.

Although he didn't show it like Butler, as the star of the team, how could he not have a strong desire to win against opponents who have lost in the past two years.

Wade was still in the backcourt at this time, looking at the group of familiar figures in front of him, and suddenly he was in a trance.

The Bulls are still the same Bulls, Rose's comeback is just the icing on the cake, and it is the Bulls' iron triangle that has really changed qualitatively, especially Xu Yong and Butler.

Butler's progress was something he could predict, after all, the height he had reached was not too high, but Xu Yong's progress has surpassed the realm he touched when he was at his peak.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the score on the court was 108-95, and the Bulls easily won G1 by virtue of the advantage laid at the beginning.

Does the Heat have a chance? Of course there is, and it can be seen from the score that they have not been beaten by the Bulls.

But it doesn't seem to be there, because after being pulled away in the first quarter, they closed the score to 9 points at most.

A certain king in Cleveland Village must be very experienced in this scene, because when they faced the Spurs in the 07 Finals, they lost within 10 points per game, and even lost by less than 5 points in the back, but fans who watched the game did not think the Cavaliers had any chance.

More than ten days later, the series between the Bulls and the Heat ended first, and the Bulls swept the Heat 4-0 to easily advance to the second round.

This big score, as Xu Yong said before the start of the series, extinguished the last vestiges of illusions of Heat fans and buried the team with his own hands.

Xu Yong didn't play much in this round of the series, except for G1, the remaining three games were closed.

The best player was Butler, who averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game in four games, shooting 51% from the field.

While he didn't "keep" on the promise he made at the end of last season that he would not make the same mistake if he had faced the same situation, after all, the Heat didn't play the game to that extent in the entire series, but his performance was undoubtedly more convincing than that.

As Barkley lamented in the commentary booth: "I think the biggest headache for the Bulls right now is not the next series, but how to keep Jimmy Butler in the summer." ”

But in fact, not only Butler, but also the rest of the Bulls played remarkably, and the benefits of selection in the last month of the regular season also snowballed.

During the handshake in the final game of the series, Xu Yong hugged Wade tightly.

Can the Heat make the playoffs next season?

This Xu Yong is not sure, because even if he is a reborn, it is impossible to know everything about the changes of every team every season.

But what is certain is that because of Bosh's blood clots, the Heat's experience in the next few seasons will be the same as the Bulls' before.

The Bulls can't stand this kind of thing, let alone the Heat, who basically quit the championship.

Or to put it another way, Wade's championship window is closed.

The 2 crowns and 2 FMVPs in his career are not particularly successful, but they are much better than making wedding dresses for other people in history.

Wade was relieved in the end, and exchanged jerseys with Xu Yong after hugging.

There is nothing to be ashamed of losing to Xu Yong, just like losing to Jordan in the 90s.

After returning to the locker room after the press conference, Xu Yong took his phone to look at the other set of matchups, which was also the result of their potential opponents.

The Raptors, who were swept 0-4 by the Hawks.

After reading the results, he immediately sent a text message to DeRozan to encourage him.

In addition to DeRozan and Lowry, the Raptors also have Valanciunas and Antetokounmpo, and even Louis Williams is playing sixth man in the Raptors this season, and the lineup is not bad.

But it turns out that only the wrong name, yes, the staggered nickname, [Garbage Brothers] are all materials for the extreme two masters, and it is too reluctant for them to go to the house.

DeRozan's performance in these four games is not much different from the regular season, but Lowry averages 12 points per game and a shooting rate of 30+20, which is difficult to look at.

This reminded him of a hotly discussed topic before his rebirth: who James ruled.

The first to bear the brunt, or rather, to be recognized, is the garbage brothers.

But in fact, even without James, it will be difficult for the Raptors to break through from the East, and they really got Leonard to get out.

Fortunately, unlike in history, the Raptors now have Antetokounmpo, and when he grows up, the Raptors will have considerable combat power.

So his text message encouragement is meaningful.

The Raptors were eliminated, and the Bulls played the Hawks in the second round.

The biggest change for the Hawks this season is the addition of head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Budenholzer is the coach of the Spurs and plays the same style as last season's Spurs, team basketball.

And Teague, Morrow, Carroll, Millsap, Horford, Schroder, this group of people is also very talented.

Xu Yong also has a little impression of this Hawks, and some of the discrepancies are that Korver is not here and is still on the Pacers' side.

However, whether it is Korver or Morrow, the Hawks' team play will be greatly reduced in the playoffs, and the Bulls will not have any major problems playing them.

The advantage of the divisional trilogy is that when you win the division, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then wait until the division finals to face the real challenge.

"Senior, who do you think will win the Cavaliers or the Pacers?" Watching the news, Butler sat down next to Xu Yong wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower.

"Knight."

Butler was a little surprised, his senior was optimistic about James?

"Do you think we could have beaten the Heat so easily without the [vertical take-off rule]?" Xu Yong asked with a smile.

Of course, he wants the Pacers to win, after all, he really hates James right now.

But since it's a prediction, it's a bit more objective.

Butler smashed his mouth helplessly, and Xu Yong seemed to be asking rhetorically, but it was actually affirmative.

This rule makes Hibbert [high and round], which is a key factor in the ease with which the Bulls play.

Then the rules that have restrictions on Hibbert will naturally be the same for Bynum, especially in the playoffs.

Then you don't need to look at the outside play, the difference in the internal strength of the two teams is enough to influence the situation.

It's really cheap Cavaliers.

And if it weren't for this rule, he would have really been able to limit Wade this year, and the Bulls would have won a little easier.

It's a rule that's too anti-basketball convention.

"Senior, do you think it's possible to cancel this rule?" Butler couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yong looked at Butler, he hadn't thought about this question.

He has the impression that the NBA doesn't seem to have canceled the new rules, three-second defense, joint defense, no-handcheck, and walking rules, including this vertical jump.

Because canceling is basically tantamount to admitting that the key official decisions were wrong, and slapping yourself in the face.

But if it continues to develop like this, the NBA market will be as backward as it has been in history.

So it's interesting to assume that if one day he asks the League to remove the rule, will the League agree?

"Maybe." Xu Yong, who thought for a while, gave the answer.

In the history of the NBA, the league has issued rules to restrict players, and players have not yet asked the league.

But that's not entirely impossible, provided the player has enough influence.

The most realistic example is Jordan, after Jordan retired for the first time, the "magician" knelt down and begged Jordan to come back, which is actually the attitude of the league.

At that time, if Jordan asked the league to change the rules to come back, I believe Stern would agree.

So if one day he does reach Jordan's kind of influence, the answer to that hypothesis may really be "yes".

Butler's question gave him one more reason to surpass Jordan.

The next day, the game on the Cavaliers' side was over.

There was no suspense, and the Cavaliers also swept the Celtics to advance to the second round, which was also expected.

However, looking at Butler, who was happy to broadcast the battle situation to him, Xu Yong realized that the problem did not seem to be so simple.

"Kevin Love is out for the season." Butler followed up with the enlistment.

"Olynyk was very malicious when he grabbed the rebound, and he dragged Lefou's arm with both hands." Then he followed up with the details.gif

After listening to him, Xu Yongchen's memory was awakened a little, and he remembered that there was such a thing, because in history, the knights team played the finals as the "Jedi Seven Samurai".

"I'm bullish on the Pacers right now." Xu Yong changed his words.

As soon as Lefu was injured, the balance between the Cavaliers and the Pacers was broken again, even if there is a vertical jump rule, the current Davis will not take much advantage of Bynum, it depends on the performance of the combination of Irving + James VS Paul + Anthony.

Anthony does not analyze James's advantages and disadvantages, but Anthony must be full of fighting will, and no matter how bad it is, it can be equal.

But Paul is a dimensionality reduction blow to Owen.

It's this Olynyk who is so dirty, why not change the dirty object.

Although James gave a sample to Granger last year, you also have to distinguish the difference between the strength of the enemy and the enemy.

Three days later, G1 ended for the Bulls and Hawks, with the Bulls beating the Hawks 114-104 to take G1.

This process can be said to be the same as playing the opening game of the first round of the Heat.

The Bulls are now clearly consciously holding on to their play, saving their strength for the Division Finals and Finals.

It was at this time that the final first round of the Eastern Conference was also over, and the Pacers eliminated the Wizards 4-1, and the Cavaliers made the semifinals.

Compared to the Bulls' side, the match over there is destined to be more passionate.

Then, on this day, the league also announced the attribution of the regular season MVP.

With 40%, the highest percentage of votes in nearly 35 years, Xu Yong was successfully elected as the regular season MVP for the third time in his career.

This result can be said to be no suspense, 72 wins, an average of 31.5 points per game, and the impression score of those ten real strengths.

In addition to Seo, Curry received 22 percent of the vote, Durant 16 percent, Westbrook 10 percent, Anthony 6 percent, and James 3 percent.

(Leonard, Paul, and others also got the votes, but in less than 1 percent)
