"Don't put too much pressure on me. You are already very good for getting here. I believe you will be even better in the future!"
After Kate gave Xia Yin a vaccination to avoid losing to the Lakers, Xia Yin was devastated.
Although she knew Xia Yin couldn't do it, she still said this, mainly to comfort Xia Yin. After all, Xia Yin had never lost much since he became famous.
Xia Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and I'm also very strong!"
Thalia raised her little hand, "Come on Xia Yin, kill the little snake!"
Lisa also blinked and looked at him, "Come on, I believe in you, show them how powerful you are."
Xia Yin nodded, "The pressure is indeed great. The Lakers are very strong, but if they want to easily get past us, they are dreaming!"
Xia Yin turned to look at the bench over there, and Kobe also turned to look at Xia Yin with cold eyes.
Ignoring his provocation, Xia Yin got ready to play.
Not only does he have this trump card that becomes much stronger after adding points, but he also has a new surprise.
That is, after winning the Rookie of the Year Award, you will receive a new badge. This is a newly unlocked badge after winning the Rookie of the Year Award.
You must know that every badge can bring a great improvement to Xia Yin's strength, and this badge is for shooting, so it is even stronger, but Xia Yin got it too late.
[Hot Zone Hunter]: Increases hot zone hit rate by 5%
This badge is divided into 10 hot zones:
Left bottom corner, right bottom corner, arc top, left arc top,
Top of the right arc, left of the free throw line, right of the free throw line,
Paint area, low position on the left side of the paint area, low position on the right side of the paint area
Among these 10 hot spots, you need to hit 100 goals in each hot spot in the official game to be officially unlocked.
10 positions equals 1,000 balls.
What's a pity for Xia Yin is that this is not a badge he got at the beginning of the season. If it were the beginning of the season, he would at least be able to meet the requirements in several hot zones.
You must know that this is not the three-minute Ultraman badge like [Psycho Knife], nor is it the badge of [Big Heart] that stacks up one goal per game.
[Hot Zone Hunter] is a halo badge like [Defense Expert], as long as you can unlock the requirements, you can always enjoy the bonus effect.
If they could all be unlocked, it would mean that you could enjoy the 5% shooting attribute bonus within half the court, which would be terrifying.
At the critical moment, when he activates all three badges at the same time, this is a 25% improvement in shooting attributes, which is simply terrifying.
Calculated based on his 80 attributes for a layup, 81 attributes for a mid-range shot, and 83 attributes for a three-pointer. After the addition, it would be 100 for a layup, 101.25 for a mid-range shot, and 103.75 for a three-pointer.
Although these attributes do not represent the final hit rate, Xia Yin is confident that when the three badges are turned on, his hit rate can reach over 70%, or even higher.
But the most important thing among them is the [Big Heart] badge, which accumulates 1 opportunity to use in each game. There are 82 regular season games in a season. The playoffs, including the finals, only have 4 rounds and 28 games. This is after playing full games.
.
You can get the [Big Heart] badge up to 110 times in a season, but if you really wait until it’s time to use it, why don’t you use it more than 20 times in one game?
In just one round of playoffs, all the usage times can be used up.
But if you use it wisely and only use it 5 or 6 times in a game, you can basically cover the entire playoffs.
Sometimes, some games are just a few points away, and victory can be achieved with just that little chance.
However, even without the [Big Heart] badge, there is still a 15% shooting attribute bonus within the 3-minute bonus of [Psycho Knife].
Calculated according to his current attributes, that is 92 layups, 93.15 mid-range shots, and 95.45 three-pointers, which is also very scary.
Even if there is only the bonus of [Hot Zone Hunter], under normal conditions, his attributes have been greatly improved. Calculated based on the current attributes, that is 84 layups, 85.05 mid-range shots, and 87.15 three-pointers.
When his attributes are raised to above 90 in the future, this badge that can provide bonuses to the entire field can play a greater role.
But it's a pity that he hasn't unlocked a single hot zone yet.
Xia Yin was very happy that he could get such a terrifying badge, but unfortunately he got it too late. Even if the badge was effective, it would only be next season.
Now he still has the [Big Heart] badge that has been used 18 times. This round of the game with the Lakers must be fully invested, and he is ready.
[Defensive Expert] Originally, we were 105 experience points short of being upgraded to master level, but after reaching the Western Conference Finals, we are now only 62 points short.
After this round of the Western Conference Finals, we only have about 30 to 40 points of experience left to level up at most, but it's still not enough.
"They are all just a little bit different, but they still lack the foundation!"
But even so, Xia Yin wanted to talk about it after fighting.
The whistle blows and the game begins.
Xia Yin mainly defends Kobe. He is also the most suitable person for the Suns to defend Kobe. Who else can be pulled out besides him?
"Xia Yin, that's it. I'm very happy that you can make it to the Western Conference Finals, but that's it."
Xia Yin said nothing, staring closely at Kobe's shoulders, spreading his hands and concentrating on defense.
Seeing that Xia Yin ignored him, Kobe was not annoyed. He also tensed up and wanted to use all his strength to defeat this brat.
We need to let him know that I, Kobe, am the best player in the league currently, and the future belongs to me and the Lakers.
[Your contract with the Suns will expire next year. When I beat you again, you will realize that only I can lead you to the championship. Come to the Lakers!]
To say that Kobe and the Lakers are not greedy for Xia Yin is simply lying with open eyes.
Xia Yin can now play the shooting position and the small forward position. If Xia Yin can come to the Lakers, with his defense and three-pointers, Kobe will be able to free up a lot, and the Lakers will be stronger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! More importantly, Kobe really admires Xia Yin, and he is not young anymore. A few years later, when Kobe is a little older, Xia Yin has also grown up.
, wouldn’t it be just right to take over from him?
This is simply the most perfect solution!
Therefore, Kobe must use his strongest strength to defeat Xia Yin and the Suns, so that Xia Yin can recognize the reality and come to the Lakers as early as possible.
When thinking about the future with Gasol on the inside and Chaine on the outside, Kobe couldn't contain his excitement.
Xia Yin's defense is very strong, he has always known it, but is it too difficult to deal with?
After finally getting some space, Kobe leaned back to shoot, but the arc of his back was too big. When he landed, he had to take several steps back to stabilize his body.
But the basketball obediently hit the basket, and Kobe's confidence suddenly rose, "Did you see it? Xia Yin, you can't beat me. The Lakers are very strong, and the Suns still need to work hard."
In the next round, Shain hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, giving Kobe a powerful counterattack.
Kobe held his breath and forced Xia Yin to rush inside. The two of them fought with each other and used elbows.
Especially when Xia Yin hit Kobe on the ribs with an elbow, Kobe endured the pain and threw up for a layup, "Hi~ha! Xia Yin, you can't stop me, I will win!"
Xia Yin had already rushed to the backcourt, and Kobe was so angry that his face almost changed shape behind him.
After the layup and mid-range shooting attributes reach 80, Xia Yin's breakthrough has become a certain threat, which greatly increases his role.
But the time was too short, so Xia Yin had no good way to quickly bring out the strength after adding points.
But even this caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers. The score rose alternately, and the Lakers did not gain the upper hand.
The game lasted until the end of the third quarter, when Kobe suddenly broke out and scored 24 points on 9-for-9 shooting in the quarter.
This was enough to open up the score, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xia Yin turned on the [Psycho Knife] badge and started chasing points, scoring 14 points on 5 of 7 shots in 3 minutes.
But in the fourth quarter, the Suns suddenly felt cold. With only Xia Yin struggling to support them, how could they beat the rising Lakers?
With only 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score between the two teams had reached 11 points. Nash missed a three-pointer, which completely ruined the Suns' chance to win.
The last three minutes were like a blacksmith match between the two teams, one against the other. In the last few dozen seconds, Xia Yin hit a three-pointer, reducing the score to 8 points.
But it didn't help, the Lakers won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.
After winning the game, but his whole body was sore, Kobe endured the pain and walked up to Xia Yin, "I told you, I will win!"
Xia Yin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Are you bothered by your non-stop chattering during this game?"
Kobe held his breath until it reached his throat and almost choked to death.
[You also know that it’s annoying? Then when you talked trash to me before, why didn’t you say it was annoying?]
"Why don't you just win a game? Make it look like you won the championship. Can you be more mature, Kobe? How old are you? You are still like a child. No wonder Shaq fell out with you."
"Oh, by the way, Shaq is very happy in the Suns. He said that I am the best teammate he has ever encountered."
Kobe Bryant was struck by lightning. O'Neal, that's not what you said before. You actually lied to me?
"Kobe, this is my first year. In today's game, I scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. What were your statistics in your first year? It must be good, right? Hehe!"
Looking at Xia Yin with a smile on his face, Kobe clenched his fists. This guy really wanted to punch him in the face.
What you say is so irritating. Is there anyone who talks like that?
When Kobe thought about his first playoff game, where he only scored 74 points in total, and this guy scored 37 points in just one game, he suddenly felt empty inside.
It's boring, really boring.
[Why should I provoke him? I knew this guy wouldn’t say anything nice, but I still went. I really owe it!]
Xia Yin didn't talk to Kobe, turned around and left after speaking.
The defeat in today's game was just a little bit close, not much, just 8 points.
But I lost.
After the loss, the team's locker room was silent.
Nash's performance was not good today either, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, who are you going to show to me like this? If you lose, you lose. Just win the next game. Leave the next game to me, and I will help you win one!"
"The Lakers are not that strong. They just have a tacit understanding and are more successful in their tactics. We have a great chance. Don't be discouraged. Keep your spirits up. Leave the next game to me and I will lead you to win!"
Gentry stood at the door of the locker room, and the words he had thought of in his mind were suddenly useless.
He is even more satisfied with Shain. Such a player is simply the best gift God has given to the Suns.
Nash also stood up at this time, "It's just a game. We just have to win it next time. Let's cheer together!"
Xia Yin is really not just talking.
In the second game between the Lakers and the Suns, Shain scored 41 points in a single game and led the Suns to a 5-point victory over the Lakers.
The total score came to 1:1.
But his [Big Heart] only has 5 uses left.
But in the blink of an eye, the game returned to the American Airlines Center Arena in Phoenix. The Lakers won two games in a row with a total score of 3:1. The Suns were already standing on the edge of the cliff.
As long as you lose one more game, you can go home and fish.
But Xia Yin did not believe in evil, so in the fifth game, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Xia Yin bet everything.
In this game, Xia Yin scored 50 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. All his energy was focused on scoring.
Even though Kobe Bryant scored 42 points, the Suns still defeated the Lakers by 7 points and refused to go home.
The total score came to 3:2.
Game 6 will be played again at Staples Arena.
Coming to Staples again, Xia Yin was filled with emotions.
However, no amount of emotion can offset the exhaustion of ammunition and food.
He has no trump card anymore. Everyone on the Suns team is exhausted after 5 games. It will not be easy to play against the Lakers.
In this game, the Lakers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game from the beginning. It was not until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter that the Suns fell behind by 15 points, and Gentry made a substitution and admitted defeat.
The Suns' playoff journey ends here.
With a total score of 4:2, the Lakers advanced to the finals.
"Haha, I said, I will win the final victory and the Lakers will advance to the finals. Xia Yin, come to the Lakers!"
Looking at Kobe who was sweating profusely, Xia Yin rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him. This guy played 6 games and was verbose for 6 games. I wonder if he will be dry after the game?
"You think too much, Kobe. I will defeat you. You'd better win the championship. If you don't win the championship, I will contact the major media in the United States and start mocking you, hum!"
After saying that, Xia Yin turned around and left, leaving Kobe with a gloomy and ever-changing expression.
Back in the locker room, Xia Yin took a shower and changed clothes and went directly to the press conference, leaving a group of dejected guys in the locker room.
"Xia Yin, what do you think about losing the Western Conference Finals?"
Shain was silent for a while and said, "After the game, my mind went blank and I thought of my college coach Ben Holland, college teammates Westbrook, and Kevin Love.
The thing they always say to me, they always say: Shane, if only you had played basketball a year earlier, we would have won the championship.
At this moment, just like that moment, maybe my teammates in the future will also say, Xia Yin, if you could have been stronger at that time, maybe we could win the championship that year."
"But when I think about it carefully, failure always runs through life. Regret is the norm. This is life."
Xia Yin said categorically, "Maybe you will say that when you lose, everything you say is an excuse.
It doesn't matter, I will prove myself.
I will not look back at the past, I will only look forward to the future, and I will definitely take back what I have lost."
"If you ask me about the future, I will tell you, yes, we will win it back next year and I will bring the championship to Phoenix!"
"I promise!"
