MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 137 The most valuable award other than MVP
[NBA: About my reincarnation as Hayate Yasuo]【】
Steve Patterson frowned and said, "Won't we lose some games that we should have won?"
Nate McMillan said seriously: "There is no way to avoid this. After all, we still have to prepare for the upcoming playoffs."
"Although winning fewer games may have some impact on the team's rankings and make us lose some home court advantage, the health of the players is the key to how far we can go in the playoffs."
Steve Patterson was dissatisfied and said: "Less home court advantage? Nate, do you know how much benefit a home game can bring to the team?"
"The average ticket price for the first round of the playoffs last year was US$186. The Moda Center has 20,630 seats. The revenue from tickets for a game alone was US$3.83 million. The average ticket price for the second round of the playoffs reached US$256. Tickets for a game are 5.28 million.”
"Not to mention the average ticket price of 500 for the Western Conference Finals and 600 for the Finals."
"Last season, just for the fourth game between the Spurs and the Cavaliers, the average price reached $626! This game alone brought the Cleveland Cavaliers more than 10 million in revenue!"
"This is almost catching up with the annual salary of an All-Star player!"
"So you think about how horrible it is for a team to lose a home game."
Nate McMillan knew that what Steve Patterson said was right, but as the head coach of the team, he must be responsible for the game and the players, so he still persuaded him.
"If the players suffer from injury risks, they may not be able to help the team go further, and the economic losses to the team may be even greater, so I hope..."
"Nate!" Steve Patterson interrupted suddenly loudly.
"The team wins is something you should consider, not me, otherwise what is the team doing to invite you to come with so many years of salary?"
"I want the ranking in the regular season, and I want to go further in the playoffs!"
Nate McMillan heaved a long sigh. He knew that it would be difficult for him to change Steve Patterson's point of view, so he could do nothing but follow the other party's request.
However, he can reduce the playing time of core players to achieve the purpose of rest and relaxation. This is the right of a head coach, and Steve Patterson has no right to interfere.
"But after all, we still played games. There are 82 games in the regular season, and the physical load on the team is really too great. If the team fell into the situation of insufficient internal rotation like in November and caused injuries to break out, then That's the biggest loss to the team."
.........
March.
Nate McMillan cut Zhang Jun's playing time from 38 minutes per game to 34 minutes, Luo Yin's 35 minutes per game to 32 minutes, and Aldridge's playing time to 33 minutes.
The average playing time of all the starters of the Trail Blazers has been greatly reduced. At the same time, Fred Jones, Vaughan Weaver, Martell Webster and others who have rarely played all season have played on the court. A lot of time.

In March, the Trail Blazers scored 9 wins and 5 losses, which is already a very good record.
Their position in the Western Conference rankings has also risen directly to third place, ahead of them only the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans.
The Los Angeles Lakers were too strong in getting Gasol.
So far, the Lakers are 21-4 when Gasol and Kobe play together.
What kind of concept is this, which means that as long as Kobe and Gasol come on the stage, the Lakers' winning percentage will be as high as 80%!
Among all the duos in the league this season, there are no other two players who can do this. The second is Zhang Jun and Luo Yin of the Trail Blazers. When they play at the same time, the winning rate is as high as 70%.
This is also the reason why the Lakers were able to leap forward and become the number one record in the Western Division. Except for the Celtics in the Eastern Division next door, no team in the league can have a higher record than the Lakers.
locker room.
Luo Yin's knees were wrapped in bandages, and his feet were placed in a large basin filled with ice.
"Hey Braden, why are you doing this after every game, what's wrong with your knee?"
Zhang Jun has always been curious about why Luo Yin always puts ice cubes on his knees after games and wraps them tightly with gauze.
He didn't get any hidden dangers of Luo Yin from the team doctor. Luo Yin has never entered the daily observation list of the Trail Blazers, so the careful application of ice is to take care of maintenance at any time like James?
Luo Yin smiled and said: "Brother, not everyone has your iron body, can break through desperately on the court, and there is nothing wrong with the body."
“A small part of the menisci of both my knees was cut off in college. Due to long-term exertion and wear, my knees are often swollen, painful and inflamed. Removing the worn and inflamed meniscus is the fastest way to recover. method, but it is also easy to leave the root of the disease.”
"That's what's wrong with me."
"So, I need ice after every game to relieve the pain between my knees and protect them at all times."
Zhang Jun nodded, no wonder he saw that Luo Yin almost didn't dunk when he was playing on the court. It was not because he couldn't dunk, but to reduce the greater force on his knees.
Aldridge reminded from the side: "I suggest you find a chance or take a break. The playoffs are coming soon. It is best to restore your body to its best condition so that you can welcome the next playoffs."
Although Aldridge has not played in the playoffs, he has heard a lot from the team's veteran Francis.
In the playoffs, the intensity is high and the pace is fast. Opponents will stare at your weaknesses and shortcomings at any time, and then they will infinitely magnify and target.
In the playoffs, don’t imagine that your opponent will say any kindness to you. It’s not bad if you don’t beat you so that you will be shadowed for the rest of your life. Who will say any kindness to you.
If they knew that Zhang Jun didn’t have an outside shot, they would let Zhang Jun go at any moment. If they knew that Aldridge was afraid of confrontation, they would fight him hard every round, and even pay a foul for it. I don't hesitate.

If they know that Luo Yin's knee is a potential injury, then confrontations such as kicking and stumbling will follow one after another.
In the playoffs, everyone will do whatever it takes to win a game.
Luo Yin smiled irrefutably and said: "If you want to rest, there is plenty of time in the off-season. Now the team still needs me, I just want to play."
But at this point, Luo Yin suddenly paused, looked at Zhang Jun and said, "Breakthrough and change of direction without slowing down is your ultimate move. No one in the NBA can defend against such a terrifying breakthrough like you in one-on-one."
"No one can break through without slowing down, except you, but you should be very clear about the price of not slowing down."
"The knees and ankles will bear more force, and it's okay to use it occasionally, but it will definitely cause great damage to the body if used for a long time."
"So you can't play like that all the time, or you can't play like that every night."
"This is a reminder to you from someone who has been here."
Zhang Jun said very confidently: "My body has not been injured until now, and I know him very well, and the team now needs me to use this kind of breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's defense."
"And a certain guy is already wrapped in bandages and can't take a break. Now he is suggesting that a person who is not in danger of injury should be careful at all times."
"Honestly, I advise you not to advise."
Luo Yin laughed out loud, and couldn't help but gave Zhang Jun a high-five. Both of them were players with the same character and temper.
.........
April.
Channing Frye missed three games and James Jones missed four.
The injuries of the two also became the fuse of the entire Trail Blazers. Because the outside line lacked the two most important forts, the Trail Blazers' games were bumpy and every game was very difficult.
During the period, it was Zhang Jun and Luo Yin who stood up one after another many times, and it was difficult for the team to win again and again.
But the injury situation of the two also made Nate McMillan completely make a decision, even if he had to violate the requirements of the team general manager Steve Patterson, he would not hesitate.
"The team has officially entered the rotation of core players!"
Monty Williams said very worriedly: "That guy Steve has a stubborn temper. If he finds out about what you've done, there will inevitably be some quarrels."
"Although we are not afraid of him, for the stability of the team, especially our performance this year is so good, so we can bear it."
"It's all about the team."
Nate McMillan thought for a while and said: "I still plan to rest players, as long as I don't lose too many games during this time."
Monty Williams was confused.
"How can we rest players and not lose too many games?"
"If you want to rest players, they must be the main players and core players, but the Trail Blazers are not a very strong team with both starting and benching. Our offense almost relies on strong individual offenses to open the situation."
"How do we win games without them?"
"The outside shooters don't create shooting opportunities for them, and the inside players don't have outstanding individual singles ability. Our offensive system will completely collapse."

Nate McMillan suddenly smiled evilly and said, "As long as Zhang Jun doesn't rest, this can be solved perfectly!"
Forehead.
.
.
Monty Williams froze in place, not to mention it was really such a reason.
Luo Yin can rest, Aldridge can rest, Jarrett Jack can also rest, as long as Zhang Jun does not rest, the Trail Blazers' offensive system can continue to operate.
Anyone can be missing from this team, but Zhang Jun cannot be missing.
His breakthrough and personal offense are the key to the team's ability to win.
.........
The Trail Blazers then began a large-scale rotation.
Luo Yin was the first to be activated on the injury list, and there were 4 games after a rest, and then Aldridge also got a 3-game rest, and Jarrett Jack also had a 2-game rest.
Four of the five starters of the Trail Blazers were rested, but only Zhang Jun stayed on the court.
This scene made Zhang Jun a little confused. Although this was his rookie season, he was very excited to play the whole season, but after all, it was a total of 82 games, and even an iron man wanted to take a vacation.
Monty Williams came to counsel Zhang Jun in time.
"You haven't been injured anyway, play more on the court while you are young, and you have a high probability of winning the league's scoring title this season."
"If you think about it, it's an amazing honor for a player to win the NBA scoring title in his rookie season."
"During this period of time, everyone has to rest, so you will attack **** the court, and you will play the whole game."
Zhang Jun wanted to say that I believe you, you bastard, you are a very bad old man.
Even if he rests for a few games in the following games, he still has every chance to win the league's scoring title. After all, he has been stabilizing James since the end of the All-Star Game and has never fallen off the list.
Therefore, this is the exploitation of Chi Guoguo by the coaching staff.
.........
April 16.
The last game of the season.
Because there is only one game difference between the Spurs and the Spurs, Zhang Jun still leads the team to play against the Los Angeles Clippers.
"After this game, the NBA regular season is officially over, and the playoffs that everyone is looking forward to are coming soon."
"For the Trail Blazers, they are about to play the best season in the last decade, entering the playoffs with their heads held high and their chests held high in the third place in the Western Conference."
"Zhang Jun has almost secured the league's scoring title before this game. Unless LeBron James of the Cavaliers can score 68 points tonight, he will not be able to overtake Zhang Jun in scoring."
Kenny Smith said expectantly.
The scoring champion of the league was won by a rookie this year, which is definitely an unprecedented event.
Throughout the entire history of the nba, there are only four players who have done such a thing in their rookie season. Wen Hayes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The above few are all ancient gods who have been around for many years. In the past few decades in the nba, there has never been a player who has been able to do this.

Barkley, who has been paying attention to the information on his mobile phone, suddenly said: "It's already confirmed. The Cavaliers next door just finished the game, and James only scored 32 points, which means that no matter how many points Zhang Jun scores tonight, he can already lock it in advance." Scoring champion."
"We can congratulate him."
"At the same time, I also received news that Zhang Jun, who is less than 21 years old, will be the youngest scoring leader in NBA history!"
on the pitch.
The teammates of the Trail Blazers also told Zhang Jun the good news, and Nate McMillan gave the latter a big hug.
"Congratulations kid, you won the first scoring trophy in your career."
"This is the most valuable trophy in the regular season besides the mvp trophy."
Zhang Jun accepted the congratulations from his teammates. Of course, the award of the scoring champion trophy will have to be a few days later.
At the same time, even some players from tonight's opponent, the Clippers, came over to congratulate Zhang Jun.
The Clippers have already confirmed that they will miss the playoffs, but they still have all their core players on the field to participate in tonight's game. After all, after this game, their entire 2007-08 season is over.
