Chapter 282 Getting Playoff Tickets

The trade deadline has passed, and even if Ying Xiong wants to change teams, it will be the offseason at the earliest.This season, in any case, can only be spent with the Bucks.

The time has entered March. On March 3, the Bucks lost to the Eagles in an away game, and their 3-game winning streak was ended by their opponents.But in the subsequent games against the Wizards (two games), Cavaliers, Celtics, Jazz and Pacers, they once again won 1 consecutive victories.The team's 6-game winning streak has a high gold content, because it has defeated the Cavaliers (James is absent) and the Celtics, the two major Eastern powers.

After this wave of 6 consecutive victories, the Bucks returned to the top 8 in the Eastern Conference. The importance of this wave of consecutive victories is self-evident for the critical period of sprinting for the playoffs in the second half of the season.

In this wave of victories, the newly joined John Salmons performed well and filled the vacancy of Michael Reed very well. Although he is already a 31-year-old player, his condition has been maintained very well. The "late bloomer" type.

Yingxiong's playing time is stable at about 10 minutes per game. The team seems to be ready for him to leave the team. The arrival of Salmons makes the team's offensive and defensive needs for him less obvious than before.The head coach Skiles didn't like him at all. He was unavailable and had to be used before. Now, with Salmons and Stackhouse, not using him will not affect the record too much.If it weren't for the team management's instruction to use it, he would definitely not let Ying Xiong enter the rotation.

It wasn't until this stage that Ying Xiong really thought about leaving.No matter how the team ignored him before, or even tried to trade him, it didn't make him feel that he had to leave here.Because he felt that he did not do well in many areas, and there were still many deficiencies in technology.And he also believed in the principle that "only people can adapt to the environment, not the environment to adapt to people".So he has been trying to improve himself, hoping to gain a foothold in the team.Unexpectedly, the hard-earned playing time and starting opportunities were deprived in this way.

Ying Xiong felt a little chilled, his professionalism made him cherish every minute he played.He is still as efficient as before, contributing everything he has.

The local basketball media in Milwaukee are very puzzled by the way the Bucks treat Ying Xiong. They think that Ying Xiong deserves more playing time and possession of the ball.Instead of giving opportunities to the aging Stackhouse and Salmons, who has no potential to tap, the team might as well give Yingxiong who is on the rise.

Bucks fans like Ying Xiong very much. They like this handsome oriental boy who plays positively and contagiously.They didn't understand why the team didn't train Yingxiong and tried to trade him.In their view, it is impossible for LeBron to come during the offseason, and it is impossible for Wade to come. The team should be more realistic, and it is more practical to cherish the players under its banner.

It's just that the opinions of the media and the team can't affect the team's management and coaching staff, and they still haven't reused Ying Xiong in the next game.

The Bucks performed very well in the March game. In 3 games, they won 15 of them, including a wave of 11 consecutive victories and a wave of 1 consecutive victories.With the excellent record after the All-Star break, the team has firmly ranked in the top 6 in the Eastern Conference, and it is just around the corner to enter the playoffs.

Ying Xiong's performance cannot be said to be bad, but there are indeed few opportunities.It's just that he doesn't complain in the team. He has been training hard and preparing for the game seriously, which is hard to find.

After the game in March, the Bucks' record came to 3 wins and 41 losses. Even if they lose all the next 32 games, the team can get a 9% winning rate.In fact, with the current state of the team, it is impossible to lose all the remaining 50 games, so for the team, it is already a certainty that the winning rate will exceed 9% this season.

The Bucks currently have a good atmosphere in the team, and the players are full of confidence. The excellent record makes the team full of expectations for the playoffs.

进入了4月份的赛程。雄鹿队在1号和3号分别输给了骑士队和山猫队后，迎来了一波4连胜。至此他们以45胜34负的战绩，提前3轮进入了季后赛。这是球队继2005-2006赛季之后，时隔4年之后，再次杀进NBA东区季后赛。

In the last three games of the regular season, the Bucks first lost consecutively at home to the Celtics and the Eagles. In the last final game, both teams chose to rest their core players.

应雄在最后一场比赛中得到首发机会，全场得到20分5篮板5助攻3抢断1盖帽，以这样的数据结束了自己本赛季的常规赛征程。

最终，密尔沃基雄鹿队以46胜36负的战绩，以东部第6的位置，进入了季后赛。东部排名情况如下：第1——克利夫兰骑士（61胜21负）、第2——奥兰多魔术（59胜23负）、第3——亚特拉大老鹰（53胜29负）、第4——波士顿凯尔特人（50胜32负）、第5——迈阿密热火——（47胜35负）、第6——密尔沃基雄鹿（46胜36负）、第7——夏洛特山猫（44胜38负）、第8——芝加哥公牛（41胜41负）。

According to the match rules, the first-round matchups are as follows: Cleveland Cavaliers VS Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic VS Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Eagles VS Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat.

The Bucks played against the Eagles in the regular season of this season for three years and achieved a record of 3 win and 1 losses.Although the record in the regular season cannot be brought to the playoffs, the playoffs are different from the regular season.But objectively, in terms of overall strength, the Bucks are at a disadvantage, not to mention that the opponent still has home court advantage.

Home field advantage is very important in the playoffs. If two teams with similar strengths reach the tiebreaker, playing at their own home court will be completely different from playing at the opponent's home court.Players are also human beings, and most of them perform better at home than away, not to mention the support of fans and other factors.

For the Bucks, against the teams in the upper half, if there is still some chance of advancing, the Eagles are the only choice.In the final analysis, the playoffs are for superstars, and it is a stage for star players.Because in the playoffs, there are no back-to-backs, the rotation is shortened, and the star players can play more minutes.

In this way, some teams have the advantage of having more players in the regular season, but in the playoffs, this advantage will become infinitely smaller.For the teams in the upper half, the Cavaliers have James, the Magic have "Warcraft" Howard, and the Celtics have the Big Three. Only the Eagles have no real superstar.For the Bucks, who also have no superstars, meeting the Eagles in the first round is the best result.
