Chapter 318 Trees move to death, people move to live

The voting for the 2011 NBA All-Star season started early. Although Ying Xiong had a lot of votes, he didn't care about it.He knew that with his current performance, it would be quite ironic if he was really selected as the All-Star starter.

Since this is Yingxiong's third NBA season, he is not eligible to participate in the Rookie Challenge.It's just that he received another invitation from the organizer after last year, inviting him to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

However, Ying Xiong rejected the invitation again, which means that he will not have the opportunity to participate in the 60th All-Star Game held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.It's just that he doesn't care about this, because he knows very well that sooner or later, he doesn't need to pass the individual competition, and as an All-Star player, he can participate in the All-Star Game with dignity.

This year's All-Star Game, not a single player from China participated, which made Chinese fans somewhat regretful, and naturally affected the ratings of the All-Star Game to some extent.

After entering February, after having Peja, the Mavericks did not continue to sign a contract with Alexander Pavlovich.And the team is officially on the right track, defeating the Wizards, Knicks, Celtics, Bobcats, Cavaliers and Kings in a row, ushering in 2 consecutive victories.

Before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks' record came to 40 wins and 16 losses, ranking among the top 3 in the Western Conference.You know, this record was achieved when the team suffered serious injuries to core players, so it is extremely rare.

Since joining the team, Peja has gradually integrated into the team, and has slowly entered the starting lineup in recent games.Ying Xiong is competing with him, and he cherishes and enjoys it very much.

You know, since Peja entered the starting lineup, Ying Xiong has had a certain chance to attack with the ball. With this historical level shooter around him as a check, the offensive space is much larger.Moreover, many passes have been turned into assists. For Peja, shooting is as simple as drinking boiled water.

Before the trade deadline, the Mavericks did nothing else.After that, they continued to make great strides, and their record soared.

On March 3, the Mavericks signed free agent Corey Brewer with a three-year contract of 4 million yuan, continued to strengthen the wing lineup, and further optimized the age structure of the lineup.

Brewer is good at fast breaks and is extremely fast. He is the "light cavalry" on the wing and has an excellent supplementary effect on the Mavericks' aging lineup.

Peja has performed very well on the offensive end since his start. His physical condition is not bad, he has not degraded too much, and he can help the team.But considering his defensive and physical condition, the coaching staff finally let Marion start.However, although he went to the bench, his playing time is guaranteed and his performance is very good. The bench lineup composed of Terry, Brewer and Barea has sufficient firepower.

On April 4, the Mavericks played the last game of the regular season against the Hornets.Since the team's ranking has not yet been finalized, the Mavericks did not choose to let the main players in the team rest in this game, but went all out, and finally defeated their opponents, marking a new chapter for their long regular season journey. A relatively perfect period.

The Mavericks have stumbled this season. They lost striker Caron Butler in the first half of the season. The core of the team, Dirk Nowitzki, has been absent for a long time. Coupled with the aging lineup, this team still played well under such unfavorable circumstances. In the powerful Western Conference, they finally ranked third with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses.

Of course, the team's excellent record is inseparable from the summer's trade and mid-season reinforcements.Tyson Chandler and Ying Xiong, who joined the Mavericks this summer, all played outstanding games.Especially Ying Xiong, after leaving the Bucks, when many people in the outside world predicted that he would be completely reduced to a marginal player, his outstanding performance severely broke the doubts.

Ying Xiong played a total of 79 games in the regular season this season, including 74 starts. In an average of 25 minutes of playing time, he averaged 14.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers. The shooting percentage is 46.5%, the 3-point shooting percentage is 40.1%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 80.5%.Compared with last season, his various statistics have improved, and his 3-point shooting percentage has exceeded 40% for the first time, which is the most gratifying thing for him.His defense has also improved a lot, and he is often sent to defend the opponent's top offensive player on the outside, which is the result of hard work in the summer.His outstanding performance is one of the important reasons why the Mavericks have achieved such an excellent record.You know, his steady performance has largely made up for the adverse effects of Caron Butler's season reimbursement.The perimeter defense composed of him and Marion has caused many teams in the league to suffer.

Ying Xiong knew that he gave himself 9 points for his performance this season.In the case of limited playing time and not many offensive opportunities, he almost grasped all the opportunities.The 3-point shooting percentage that was criticized in the first two seasons also exceeded 4%, and the defense that was questioned before has also been unanimously recognized by the outside world.Although the score is not high, considering the average single-digit shots per game, this data is already very rare.

Ying Xiong knew that this was not his full strength.I am not the main ball handler, I am not the main point of attack, and my position in the team is a 3D player.Moreover, during the long regular season, I didn't use hidden attributes once.

Ying Xiong knows that he can play better, but for the Mavericks, his performance has already satisfied the team management and coaching staff.The vitality, impact, stable offensive vitality and excellent perimeter defense he brought to the team have exceeded the team's expectations for him before the season.What's more, he is low-key, trains hard, is humble and serious, and obeys the coach's arrangements. He is a player that coaches and teammates like.

The Mavericks entered the playoffs in third place in the powerful West, while Yingxiong's old club, the Bucks, ranked ninth in the East with 3 wins and 35 losses in the relatively weak East , failed to reach the playoffs again after last season.

Corresponding to the Xiong, whether the Bucks can make the playoffs has nothing to do with him.He didn't feel very happy that his old club didn't make the playoffs, and he didn't gloat about the opponent's blindness.For him, this is a choice between the two parties. Since the other party chooses not to use him, it is a normal business behavior for him to transfer to another job, and he does not have too much emotion in it.

What's more, it just so happened that my performance in the season was not bad, and the team also had a good record. If the Bucks entered the playoffs and ranked better than last season, and the Mavericks I joined had a good record. Not good, I have not been reused, the data is bleak, should I regret it?
No, Ying Xiong will never regret it!He won't regret leaving the Bucks, that's for sure!
