Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 249 2015 is Over
After the Christmas game, the NBA officially announced the latest MVP rankings.

Curry, James and Westbrook are still in the top three, George and Griffin are out of the top ten, Harden is up two places, Zhuang Shen and Wade are on the list.

There is no suspense in the battle for the best rookie. Towns averaged 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block per game, ranking first.

The second place is Porzingis of the Knicks, averaging 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

The third place is Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns, averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Next are Myles Turner and Okafor. Yuan Qingshan is temporarily ranked sixth because of his mediocre performance in the early stage and his statistics are not very good.

He currently averages only 15 points per game, but has 8 assists and rebounds. Although the ranking is not high, he is officially evaluated as the dark horse with the most potential in this session.

After Yuan Qingshan are Russell, Winslow, Lyles, Mudiay, and Kaminsky.

Needless to say, Yuan Qingshan's trading value has soared again, and some teams have begun to think about trading Yuan Qingshan with core players.

Kupchak received several calls one after another. This guy calculated and calculated. He neither reported to Jim Buss nor consulted with Scott. He just silently recorded these trade proposals in his small notebook, weighing what the Lakers could get from the trade, and what he could get from the trade.

From the beginning of the season to the present, Jim Buss' indifferent attitude towards the team made Kupchak start to worry that Jenny Buss' counterattack would be advanced, so the smart Kupchak has already started to find a way out for himself. He is going to give away the resources of the Lakers, so that the next job will be easier to find.

In December, the Lakers' last opponent is the Chicago Bulls.

The situation in the Bulls is relatively chaotic. The veteran core Derrick Rose is showing signs of decline. Jimmy Butler is getting better and better with his tough style of play. He should have become the new core, but he has not been valued by the management because of his background and personality.

The inside core Paul Gasol has played very well since the start of the game. He was able to get 16+10, but he was secretly asked by the management for inquiries. There is no impenetrable wall.

In short, the four Bulls scored in double figures per game, which seems to be blooming, but in fact, like the Bucks, the core is not clear, and they are not as united as others.

The Lakers played the Bulls. This was the first time that Yuan Qingshan faced a long-established star at the No. [-] position. However, at this time, Rose was already suffering from knee injuries, and his speed and explosive power were not as good as before.

During the game, Rose watched Yuan Qingshan rushing to the basket again and again, completing those extremely difficult layups, his eyes were full of shadows of himself.

It's a pity that I can no longer keep up with Yuan Qingshan's speed, and there is no way to limit his scoring.

The inside combination of Gasol and Gibson has no way to deal with Towns and Whiteside. Towns faced Gasol's defense in the elbow area and scored 16 points before the end of the second quarter.

Bulls coach Hoiberg changed Gibson to the fourth position. Faced with the Bulls' change, Yuan Qingshan called Towns and Whiteside together and whispered for a while.

Next, the Lakers focused their offense on Whiteside. Yuan Qingshan kept feeding the ball to the basket. Gasol was rubbed into noodles by Whiteside in the interior.

Hoiberg was speechless. Is Whiteside, the worst offensive player among the Lakers' three young masters, already terrified now?
Scott covered his mouth and snickered, Yuan Qingshan is indeed a thief, he knows how to seize the opponent's weak point and ruthlessly attack.

When the Bulls trailed by 18 points in the third quarter, Hoiberg looked at Rose's tired pace and wanted to give up the game, but Jimmy Butler didn't agree with anything.

Hoiberg had no choice but to replace Rose and completely hand over the offensive power to Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler re-entered the game with his eyes wide open, looking fierce, as if he was going to eat Nick Young alive.

Nick Young was depressed again. He really wanted to suggest to general manager Kupchak, during the days when Kobe is not around, can he sign a defensive No. [-] to top him?

But think about it the other way around, let’s forget it. At that time, I still want to be the third position. There seem to be more beasts in the third position in the league than in the second position. The fear of being dominated by James and Durant hits overwhelmingly.

The Bulls pulled the score to 10 points with Butler's counterattack. Yuan Qingshan couldn't sit still off the court, and came up with a substitute to bite the score with a three-pointer, waiting for Towns and Whiteside to recover their strength.

In the fourth quarter, Rose played again and took half of the shooting rights from Butler. However, the Lakers' starters also appeared one after another. The Bulls still failed to solve the problem of difficult defense.

Under the connection of Yuan Qingshan, Towns and Whiteside showed great power in the final quarter. The two scored 28 points together, completely extinguishing the flames of the Bulls' counterattack.

With a few minutes left in the game, Jimmy Butler was replaced by Hoiberg, cursing and pumping his fists.

Compared with him, Rose was much quieter. He walked to the bench, covered his head with a towel, and silently watched his teammates on the field struggling needlessly, his eyes full of melancholy.

If it's 2011, and I'm still the Derrick Rose who just won the MVP, I will definitely run to the court and fight the No. 16 Lakers point guard for another [-] rounds!

Just as people are used to Christmas without a yellow-green battle, people have gradually gotten used to Derrick Rose, who can no longer run and jump. If Hoiberg replaces him now, I am afraid that the team management will immediately call to stop and warn the head coach to protect Rose's knee.

In the words of the fans: Injuries have ruined the Roses of the Windy City!
The Lakers defeated the Bulls again and completed a double play this season. Coach Hoiberg had a chat with Scott.

He can still accept this result, and praised the Lakers team for being very energetic and full of potential. Although some players seemed a little immature at the critical moment, they had Yuan Qingshan.

Scott was overjoyed to hear that his proud disciple was praised. He didn't need Hoiberg to say that he also felt that Yuan Qingshan had improved during this time. He not only developed a three-pointer, but more importantly, he improved his pattern and vision. Although these things seem invisible, they are far more important than having an extra offensive method.

After the Bulls game, 2015 is over.

A year has passed, and everyone will gain more or less. Yuan Qingshan lay in the room recalling what happened in the past year, like a dream.

To sum up: the most important thing is of course to obtain the super evolution system, first equipped with the "Ben Wallace" card, and then the "Jason Kidd" card, and obtained the "three-stage acceleration", "outside barrier", "terminator", "rebound beast" and "three-point master".

I met Rachel, Gakki, including Scarlett Johansson who had a brief contact.

These people and things kept turning in Yuan Qingshan's head, and he fell asleep after thinking about it for a while.

In the dream, he returned to Lexington again, and together with Coach John and Towns, he once again won the NCAA championship trophy!
