Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 290 Return to Lexington
In the blink of an eye, the 2015-2016 regular season season is all over, 16 teams and less than 200 players have entered the playoffs, and the rest don’t care about your season’s statistics, how much annual salary you earn, how big your brand is, all go fishing!
The Warriors are the undisputed No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the league.

With 73 wins, they surpassed Jordan's Bulls and made history!
Everyone did not expect that in the post-Stern era, the myth of Adam Silver would appear so soon.

If possible, Adam Silver wants to hand over the O'Brien Cup to Curry now. He needs a strong flash point to allow people to separate the name NBA and Stern, and then spend a period of time to combine himself with the NBA. In the future, fans all over the world must think of themselves whenever they mention NBA.

Adam Silver urgently needs Jordan named by himself!

The Lakers are second in the Western Conference, the Thunder are third, the Spurs are fourth, the Mavericks are fifth, the Rockets are sixth, the Blazers are seventh, and the Grizzlies are eighth.

Neither the Kings nor the Suns made it to the playoffs, with the Jazz ninth, the Kings tenth, and the Suns No.

The Nuggets worked hard in the second half and rushed to tenth, which made Kupchak very worried. Seeing the first-round pick from the Nuggets in his hand depreciate a little bit, the chance of seeing the top five picks is now slim.

Eastern Cavaliers first, Raptors second, Hornets third, Eagles fourth, Heat fifth, Celtics sixth, Pacers seventh, Pistons eighth.

Derrick Rose still failed to enter the playoffs in the end, and there is a high probability that he will not stay with the Bulls next season, which is embarrassing.

Ranked tenth is the Wizards, which surprised Yuan Qingshan. He didn't expect that Senior Wall didn't even make it to the playoffs this year.

The Bucks are ranked No. 12. Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker really flew to South Africa for fishing as soon as the season ended.

Yuan Qingshan opened the 2015 rookie chat group and looked, these guys have already started posting photos in the group, sunshine, beauties, beaches...

Yuan Qingshan sighed in his heart, why are all these unprogressive guys around him?
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. They are all high-level lottery picks, and the strength of their teams is naturally relatively weak.

The playoff map is released.

The first round of the Western Conference: Warriors VS Grizzlies, Spurs VS Mavericks, Lakers VS Trail Blazers, Thunder VS Rockets.

The first round of the Eastern Conference: Cavaliers VS Pistons, Eagles VS Celtics, Raptors VS Pacers, Hornets VS Heat.

The Lakers finally stabilized the second place in the Western Conference with their desperate efforts at the last moment.

Everything is developing in the most ideal direction. In the first round, the Lakers' opponent is the Trail Blazers, so they should be able to save some effort.

There is no suspense in the Warriors and Grizzlies group. It is difficult for the Grizzlies to cause much trouble for the Warriors. They cannot stop the Warriors' two big guns.

Spurs against the Mavericks, judging from this year's state, it is very difficult to expect Nowitzki to cause much trouble for the Spurs. This year, he has too few helpers. In addition to Deron Williams, who is no longer as brave as before, he has to count the tepid male model Chandler Parsons, which is sad enough.

The Thunder vs. Rockets team is really hot. Westbrook + Durant vs. Harden + Howard looks good. No matter who can advance to this pair, they will definitely lose their skin.

In this way, the winner of the Lakers' second-round thunderstorm will not only have home court advantage, but also be able to take advantage of physical fitness.

The Lakers are very satisfied with this year's matchup. After all, this is the Wild West. It is already very good to have such a result.

The team had two days off before the first game of the playoffs on April 4.

Yuan Qingshan got on the plane alone and returned to Lexington. Rachel was interviewing his junior brother Jamal Murray in Kentucky. Kentucky is the only guard who can enter the first round this year.

When Yuan Qingshan met with Old John, it was indispensable to have another gracious dinner, and he just took this opportunity to formally introduce Rachel to the coach.

Both John and his wife liked Rachel very much, and his wife gave her a precious shell necklace as a meeting gift, just like giving ancestral jewelry to a daughter-in-law.

Jamal Murray also attended the dinner. He was a bit shy. At the dinner table, he kept listening to Yuan Qingshan and John recalling the funny stories of winning the championship last year, laughing shyly from time to time.

Yuan Qingshan likes this elementary school boy very much, thinking in his heart that the Lakers have a lottery pick from the Nuggets, maybe Xia Tian can suggest to Coach Scott to select Murray.

Of course, as long as Coach Scott hasn't been fired by then.

Coach John drank a lot of wine and talked about a lot of old things in a daze. Yuan Qingshan's eyes got wet when he heard it. Rachel grabbed his palm and put it on her lap, gently kneading the back of his hand. If he was not in the restaurant now, Yuan Qingshan would definitely throw himself into anyone's arms, Rachel or John's.

The next day, Yuan Qingshan took Rachel for a stroll around the University of Kentucky. Although Rachel lived here for a while, she didn't have time to get to know the city in depth.

It seems to be a very romantic bridge to bring your girlfriend to the place where you lived to find memories.

Yuan Qingshan took Rachel to the west of the city, the fighting field has been transformed into a parking lot, and the gang members have disappeared without a trace.

Coming to this place again, Yuan Qingshan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. If it wasn't for that accident, he might have quit the university team now, and planned to find a job in Kentucky after graduation, wasting his life.

Rachel was thinking about whether to go to see Avril, Yuan Qingshan thought about it, this sister was mysterious, she said she would come to Los Angeles half a year ago, and then suddenly disappeared, and now she doesn't know what she is busy with.

It's a pity that I searched around but found nothing. According to Coach John, Avril Lavigne had resigned as the physical coach of the school team half a year ago.

Avril Lavigne's family has penetrated every inch of land in Lexington and even Kentucky, but it is very difficult to find this young lady, and no one can grasp her whereabouts.

So Yuan Qingshan and Rachel returned to Los Angeles with regret.

The team organized an in-team training one day in advance, and Kobe also participated that day. He looked in good condition, but he left half an hour later. According to the team doctor, he was rushing to get some physical therapy. Yuan Qingshan couldn't help drawing a question mark in his heart.

The game in the East was one day earlier than in the West. LeBron James led the Cavaliers to a big victory over the Pistons. From the second half, James personally defended Drummond, and then the Pistons completely misfired and lost 25 points.

Drummond had a cold face all over the court, and his teammates could guess how uncomfortable it was to be marked by LeBron James all over the court, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.

Yuan Qingshan and Downs watched the post-match interview together. Tyronn Lue and James looked serious, and left after simply saying something about the scene.

The reporters felt that it was not enough, and chased them out to chat with other members of the Cavaliers. As a result, no one from the whole team was interviewed, and they all went back to their homes in a well-behaved manner.

Yuan Qingshan knew that LeBron James had started the playoff mode.
