The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 380 The MVP Without Suspense
In this game against the Pacers, Li Xun didn't play at all.

It's a bit inappropriate to play too hard on the field, after all, I will join the Pacers in half a year.

And if he goes up for a cutscene, it will affect his average data per game, so Li Xun simply gave himself a rest.

The Pacers fans at the scene were of course extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, they can still see Li Xun in suits and leather shoes on the bench, so this ticket is not a bad deal.

Li Xun looked at the Pacers' lineup on the field, and was quite envious of Bird's lineup building ability.

Although Bird didn't waste the draft picks to choose newcomers, the team's salary is there, and if it is not used, it will trigger the poor line, so the money that should be spent still has to be spent.

Bird signed a lot of players who are cost-effective in Li Xun's view.

Such as Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Sabonis Jr., Myles Turner and so on.

It can be said that the Pacers' lineup is actually not bad, especially Sabonis Jr. and Bo Yang. When the draft was first drafted, Li Xun actually thought about selecting these two.

It's just that there were not enough picks at the time, so I gave up.

Looking at this lineup on the court, Li Xun felt that if he randomly selected a few super rookies in 18, the Pacers would actually already have a very strong competitiveness.

Oladipo this season is the peak of his entire career.

This season, Audi can score an average of 23 points per game, and its defensive performance is also quite good. A strong body can well limit the opponent's first or second position.

Especially for the defensive No. [-] position, Audi's efficiency is still quite high.

In the following seasons, due to injuries, he gradually fell from his peak period, but this season's Audi is definitely a top first-line star.

In fact, this is often the case, some players are just a flash in the pan.

But that short-lived season or several seasons can play quite amazing performances.

It just so happens that Li Xun will join the Pacers next season, and Audi has fully realized its worth this season, so Audi can be sold in exchange for a first-line star.

The main reason is that Audi will suffer serious injuries in the future, and Li Xun has no need to bet on whether Audi will be injured.

Because of Lee Hoon's butterfly effect, Audi probably won't get hurt like Ross did.

But what if you get hurt?It will undoubtedly affect the combat power of the Pacers.

Audi will be sold, Sabonis Jr. will definitely have to stay.

As a substitute for Jokic, Sabonis Jr. is of great value. He played as a substitute for the Pacers this season and will be placed in the starting lineup next season.

Bo Yang's words should be kept as much as possible.

He belongs to the kind of extremely mature and stable player who lacks scoring explosiveness, but he leads the bench to grab points, and the efficiency is quite high.

There is also Myles Turner.

Because he looks exactly like Eason Chan, he is nicknamed Indiana Eason Chan.

His combat power is actually quite good. Li Xun remembers that Turner will be the block leader next season.

He is good at blocking shots, and also has a good three-point firepower. He can be regarded as a relatively brilliant center.

It's a pity that next season Turner will be a rookie contract year. With Turner's performance, if he doesn't give him a contract with an annual salary of about 2000 million, he will definitely not stay.

And Li Xun felt that giving Turner an annual salary of 2000 million seemed a bit wasteful.

So it's better to sell Turner in exchange for some chips such as draft picks or players.

In addition to these people, veteran Thaddeus Young's trade value is also good.

He entered the league a year earlier than Li Xun. After so many years of playing, although he didn't make it to the All-Stars, he was just a finishing touch, and he was not far behind the All-Stars.

He can be regarded as a relatively standard quasi-All-Star player. He has been able to contribute 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.5 steals in a stable manner. Both offense and defense are good.

There are still many teams that need a versatile player like him.

There is also a junior, Stephenson, who is also playing for the Pacers now, but he is gradually being eliminated.

Many people say that Stephenson is Li Xun's draft stain.

Because Li Xun has selected countless players over the years, and each of them has played worth, except for his junior brother Stephenson.

Stephenson was worth a lot at the beginning, but as a result, he became more and more unskilled, and now he seems to be reduced to playing in the CBA.

Looking at the Pacers' lineup, Li Xun has initially simulated the tentative lineup for the new season in his mind.

However, it is hard to say which players Audi, Thaddeus Young and Turner can exchange for. We can only wait and see.

After the game, the Pacers swarmed towards the Knicks bench.

After all, everyone knows that Li Xun is likely to come to the Pacers next season. It is not harmful to get acquainted with the boss first.

Even Oladipo, the current boss of the Pacers, smiled shyly and hugged Li Xun.

When it came to my younger brother Stephenson, I saw him weeping.

"Boss, I finally look forward to seeing you come to us Pacers."

"I finally look forward to being on the same team with you again."

"You will definitely help me, right? After all, you don't want to be really stained, do you?"

Li Xun rolled his eyes, this guy is really speechless.

However, Li Xun really didn't want to have the taint of being a junior. After all, every player he picked had risen, and there was only one junior left. It really couldn't be justified.

"Practice your damn three-pointers well."

"Next season, I will try my best to get Mr. Bird to sign you, but the contract must not be too high."

"It's estimated to be three to four million."

"Certainly not more than 500 million."

Li Xun said with a sigh.

The junior brother laughed out loud, with Li Xun's words, he felt much more at ease.

He is actually very satisfied with having a contract of 400 million yuan.

The main reason is that by following Li Xun's side, I still have a chance to rise up, and have a chance to make a name for myself.

In addition, if you are lucky, you can get three championship rings with Li Xun.

This championship ring is also valuable.

In the future, if the family really can't get rid of the pot, they can definitely take the ring to auction.

Three championship rings can get back one hundred thousand dollars no matter what.

If Li Xun knew that his junior brother was already planning to auction off the championship ring, he would have strangled him to death on the spot.

There is actually no problem with the strength of the younger brother, but the three points are too weak.

A shooting guard with a height of 196 cm, you don't have the three-point ability, and you don't have the explosive power to hit the basket like Wade, so of course you can't hit anything.

Even after Wade suffered a serious injury, his combat power declined severely.

In the blink of an eye, it's January again, and there's not much time left before the All-Stars.

This year's All-Star Knicks are not as glamorous as last season, but four were selected to the All-Star.

In the starting lineup, except for Rondo, everyone else was selected to the All-Star lineup.

The season is already halfway through, and this year's rookies, whether they are mules or horses, can almost be seen now.

What surprised Li Xun was the performance of Zhao Jiwei and Wang Zhelin.

Zhao Jiwei has now completely conquered the Phoenix fans with his strong strength.

Under the running and bombing tactics that D'Antoni is best at, Zhao Jiwei has played the strongest combat power, currently averaging 18 points and 8.7 assists per game.

In terms of statistics, it doesn’t look particularly top-notch, but the shooting rate is quite high, averaging 50% shooting rate, 42% three-point shooting rate, and 91% free throw shooting rate. He has already entered the 180 club in his rookie season .

If you want to enter this 180 club, it is actually quite difficult.

The shooting percentage is about [-]%, the three-point shooting percentage is about [-]%, and the free throw percentage is about [-]%.

The first item alone actually stumped many outside players.

Perimeter players generally shoot between 44% and 46%, and it can reach about [-]%, which is quite rare.

That is to say, those outside players who score by attacking the inside can achieve such a hit rate.

But for these outside players who hit the inside, they are generally not very good at three-pointers, and it is unlikely that they will hit [-]% of their three-pointers.

In the end, the [-]% free throw percentage is actually very difficult.

In addition, it does not mean that you can enter this club if you meet the shooting percentage, but you need a certain number of shots.

Otherwise, a player will hit a 3+1 in one season, and his shooting percentage will reach the standard.

At least 300 shots are required, 82 three-pointers, and 125 free throws.

This shows how rare members of the 180 club are.

Today, Li Xun has only achieved this achievement in one season.

Historically, as of 2018, except for Li Xun, only seven people have done it.

They are Bird Bird, Durant, Curry, Nash, Reggie Miller, Nowitzki and Mark Price.

Among them, Nash has four times, Bird has two times, and the others have only one time.

Because the season is not over yet, Zhao Jiwei is currently unable to enter this club.

Going forward, Li Xun remembered that Brogdon and Irving also joined this club.

It can be seen that Zhao Jiwei really has a bright future. As long as he can continue this performance, after the end of his rookie contract, he must be waiting for a maximum salary contract.

But he is not without flaws.

That is the defense is too weak.

It's a bit similar to Fake Chuiyang who will enter the league next, but Chuiyang is a new era combo guard, while Zhao Jiwei is a typical traditional point guard.

The king, Wang Zhelin, is also showing his worth at present.

With an average of 18 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, the Grizzlies fans who played were rejoicing.

If he was selected with a high pick, it would be fine if he was mentally prepared. The key is that Wang Zhelin is only a rookie with the 57th pick, and it is even more surprising to be able to play this kind of performance.

But to Li Xun's disappointment, no one seemed to associate Wang Zhelin with Yao Ming.

On the contrary, many fans feel that Wang Zhelin has a lot in common with the current Porzingis.

In the next All-Star Weekend, this year it is the turn of the old Hornacek to lead the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

This time, the All-Star MVP was won by Jokic. To be precise, he was fed to Jokic by Li Xun.

With Jokic's style of play, his chances of winning the MVP among the All-Stars are infinitely close to zero.

Even Embiid has a higher chance than him.

But there is no way, with a good brother like Li Xun, Jokic also took advantage of it for a while, and won the first gold-worthy honor in his career.

After the All-Star game, Li Xun started the away game rotation again, and the arrangement of the home games.

The main reason is that the Knicks' home court can make the team a lot of money. If Li Xun does not play, the fans will definitely not be able to justify it.

If it's an away game, it doesn't matter, and Dolan doesn't bother to care whether Li Xun plays or not, anyway, as long as he can win the championship in the end.

If it wasn't for Li Xun to consider this year's average data, even if he didn't play a game in the regular season, it wouldn't matter.

Anyway, as long as they get the playoff spot, even if they are eighth in the Eastern Conference, as long as Li Xun plays, they will definitely be able to sweep all the way to the finals.

On April 4th, this was the last game of the season for the Knicks against the Toronto Raptors.

Because of the joining of Durant and Lowry, the Raptors still have DeRozan and Jordan in the team, so the combat power is quite exciting.

Many people think that they are the team with the best chance of ending the Knicks dynasty this year.

In terms of pure book strength, the Raptors are indeed a bit fierce, and they have everything they should have.

It's a pity that the trash brothers don't know what the hell is going on, and they become depressed when they meet Li Xun.

In this game, Lowry only scored 6 points in the end, and DeRozan only scored 14 points.

This is because Li Xun didn't deliberately defend them, and put the main defensive energy on Durant.

Durant resisted the pressure tonight, and under Li Xun's strict defense, he also scored 28 points.

But these 28 points are useless, and it is impossible to save the Raptors.

Not to mention 28 points, just based on the performance of the garbage brothers tonight, Durant may score 48 points, and the Raptors may not win.

After the game, Durant wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now he has begun to doubt his life, in order to snatch a championship from Li Xun.

Over the years, he has changed many teams.

As a result, nothing was achieved, and even a champion Mao was not seen.

Now that the regular season is over, they played a total of four games against the Knicks in the regular season, lost three of them, and won one of them.

The game that he won happened to be Li Xun's rotation.

It is equivalent to saying that as long as Li Xun is on the court, it is impossible for the Raptors to win the Knicks.

If Li Xun can accept him, then Durant will definitely come to Li Xun's side in the next second and become Li Xun's teammate.

But now Li Xun doesn't pay attention to him at all, and doesn't allow himself the chance to become his teammate.

Now Durant can only comfort himself. James has been hiding from XZ all these years, and he also failed to win the championship, so he can feel better psychologically.

After the last game, the data of the regular season is also settled.

Li Xun has just played two-thirds of the schedule this season and is eligible to participate in the data selection.

场均48.1分15.4篮板11.1助攻3.6抢断4.8盖帽的数据，直接五项数据全联盟第一。

Such a stat is absolutely unique in NBA history, and even Li Xun has never played it before.

This year's regular season mvp obviously has no suspense.
