Chapter 288 The Second NBA Season Ends

In the first round of the playoffs this season, only the Bucks and Eagles reached the tiebreaker.The winner of the tie-break will play against the Orlando Magic in the second round.Judging from the current state of the Magic, no matter who wins the two teams participating in the tie-break, the chances of winning against the Magic are not great.

But even so, neither team is willing to lose the tie-break.Especially for the Eagles, it would be a shame for the team to face the Bucks who lack the main center and the main shooting guard with the third record in the Eastern Conference.

The importance of this game is self-evident, so when the first quarter came up, both sides played a little tight, coupled with the strong defense, the offense of both sides was very constrained.

The Eagles at home are obviously superior. As the game progressed, they gradually grasped the situation on the court.With 4 minutes and 54 seconds left in the first quarter, Kurt Thomas of the Bucks made a mid-range shot. The team scored 7 points in a row and overtook the opponent with a score of 13:11, but it was the last time they took the lead.

Subsequently, the Eagles took advantage of the defense and did not allow the Bucks to score again in the last 4 minutes and 54 seconds of this section. After a wave of 9:0 climax, the section ended with a 20:13 lead.

As soon as the game started in the second quarter, Crawford of the Eagles was fully fired, making sudden shots, scoring points frequently, and quickly widening the point difference.Subsequently, the Eagles controlled the situation, controlled the rhythm, used their excellent defense to limit the opponent's scoring, and ended the first half with a double-digit point difference advantage.

In the second half of the game, although the Bucks tried hard to counterattack, they were all held down by the Eagles.Constipation on the offensive end keeps the Bucks unable to narrow the gap with the opponent.

In the final quarter of the game, Crawford broke out again in the connecting period, completely widening the point difference to as many as 24 points.At this critical juncture, the Bucks failed to score within 4 minutes and lost their last chance to catch up with the score.

In the second half of the last quarter, the game entered garbage time early.Yingxiong appeared in the garbage time of this focus battle.He was on the court, playing the last half of garbage time like a robot.

As the final whistle blew, Ying Xiong took a deep look at the team's bench, feeling overwhelmed by the wildly cheering and celebrating home team players and fans.Maybe it's time to say goodbye...

——Leaving in such a way is not what he wants to see.As a player with a strong competitive spirit, he is healthy and full of strength, but he can only watch the home team being slaughtered by the opponent.This feeling is too painful.

In this game, Crawford of the Eagles scored a game-high 22 points, once again blasting the Bucks' second team.In the 3 games that Yingxiong was absent, Crawford averaged more than 20 points per game and scored the highest score in two consecutive games.

Ying Xiong thinks he can help the team, even as a substitute, at least he can limit Crawford, but the team still doesn't believe in him.

The visiting locker room was very quiet.The players of the Bucks all tidied up their things without saying a word, and their mood was very low.In a great situation with a 3:2 lead, it is indeed difficult to accept being overturned by the opponent.In this game, the starting outside trio of Delfino, Salmons and Jennings made a total of 3 of 44 shots. The shooting percentage was unbelievably low.But with such a poor performance, the three still occupy a lot of playing time and possession of the ball. This can be said to be unavailable, or poorly employed.

The season is over.This season, the Bucks entered the playoffs as No. 6 in the East despite such a difficult situation, and fought against the No. 3 Eagles until Game 7, which is considered to have completed the team's season goal.The following offseason will be the stage for the team to show their talents.

Teams that did not enter the playoffs and teams that were eliminated in the playoffs have already started preparing for the offseason.Teams with high draft picks are busy scouting rookies, while teams with cap space are looking forward to reaping a big fish in the free market this summer.

Many players who are not playing in the playoffs have already started vacationing. Of course, there are also some diligent and silent training.Ying Xiong didn't go on vacation because he wasn't in the mood. Instead, he explained to his manager Bill Duffy and flew back to China.

There are still several months before the opening of the free market. If the final whereabouts of the few big fish in the free market are unknown, other transactions are generally put on hold first.The reason is also very simple, such as a team with enough salary space, but if the big fish do not come, choose to retreat to pursue those small fish, or simply renew the team's players whose contracts have expired.The big fish is led by LeBron James, and his decision will affect the season plans of many teams in the league.

Ying Xiong knew that he would definitely be put on the shelf by the team.Even if the team wants to keep him, he will apply for a trade.But no matter what, before the free market opens, his future will not change.Only after the whereabouts of the big fish are determined, will I know where the future is.

There were a lot of big-name free agents in the 2010 offseason, such as: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, etc.

Ying Xiong returned to BJ, visited Gong Luming and others of the national team, and participated in a business event.Sun Jing was not on vacation yet, and the two met at BJ.

In a high-end coffee shop, Ying Xiong and Sun Jing sat drinking coffee together.

"If you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come here." Sun Jing said with a smile.

"Why? Is it too expensive?" Ying Xiong asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" Sun Jing nodded, "Not only is the price high, but also no classmates will come together, and it doesn't match the temperament of our college students."

"Time flies, you're already a junior!" Ying Xiong looked out the window and sighed.

Sun Jing brushed her hair from her forehead, nodded and said, "Yes, I will be a senior in the second half of the year!"

"Is it possible to go to practice in advance after senior year?" Ying Xiong asked.

Sun Jing nodded and said: "Most of the cases are like this, but I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"

"The postgraduate entrance examination?" Ying Xiong was a little surprised, but still smiled slightly, "This is in line with your ideal!"

Sun Jing sighed and said, "I don't want to go to work as soon as I graduate, but also want to learn more in school."

"There is no harm in learning more..." Ying Xiong said slowly.He is not a fool, so he can naturally feel the slight sadness in Sun Jing's words.The two hearts are together, but they can't see each other. This kind of longing in a different place is really uncomfortable.Part of Sun Jing's intentions was also in school, so she deliberately didn't have to think about other things for the time being. In the ivory tower, many troublesome things could be blocked.
