I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 165 The Bull Slaying Warrior

On April 4, the NBA officially announced the list of honors in April.

The best rookie of the month in the East was won by Tai Gibson; the best rookie of the month in the west belongs to Sun Yi without any suspense.

After once again winning the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award, Sun Yi became the seventh player in NBA history to win all Rookie of the Month awards in his rookie season.

Derrick Rose won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.

The Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Sun Yi, who scored 58 points against the Wizards.

Sun Yi won the honor of the best player of the month for the first time, and Sun Yi received the reward issued by the system.

“叮！恭喜宿主首次获得月最佳球员，奖励：徽章切球专家(青铜)、蓝色球鞋+1、10倍训练加成卡+5、高级营养液+100、10万训练点。”

Sun Yi was very satisfied with this, and installed [Cutting Expert] in the badge slot, and then replaced [green sneakers] with [blue sneakers].

After finishing his work, Sun Yi turned off the system panel and continued his daily training.

……

With the end of the regular season, some of the regular season awards have basically determined the final result.

The scoring champion is won by Kevin Durant of the Thunder, averaging 30.1 points per game.

Dwight Howard is the leader in rebounds and blocks, averaging 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.

The assists king is won by Steve Nash, averaging 11.1 assists per game.

The steals king was won by Rajon Rondo, averaging 2.3 steals per game.

As for other major awards in the regular season, they are still being selected.

What fans care most about is undoubtedly the ownership of the best rookie.

In the latest rookie list, Sun Yi still firmly occupies the top spot.

本赛季孙逸场均能够得到19.4分10.6篮板9.2助攻1.5抢断1.8盖帽的准三双数据，成为NBA历史上第二个新秀赛季打出准三双的球员。

Tyreke Evans, another favorite for the Rookie of the Year award, is also averaging explosive numbers.

This guy averaged 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his rookie season, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to achieve such outstanding data in his rookie season.

It can be said that both of them have the potential to become the best rookie.

Media reporters sensed the hot spots, compared Sun Yi and Evans in all aspects, and reported the news about which of them would become the best rookie.

On an NBA talk show, Barkley and Kenny Smith chatted about the hot topic of the best rookie.

"The competition for this year's Rookie of the Year is quite fierce. I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."

After Kenny Smith finished his emotion, he continued to ask: "Charles, who do you think will win the Rookie of the Year award between Sun and Evans?"

"Man, Sun Yi's statistics almost set a record. In my mind, he is the best player in the 09 class, bar none.

Moreover, Sun Yi has scored two 50+ feats and 15 triple-doubles this season.

If the selection reporters and commentators were not blind, Sun Yi would undoubtedly be the best rookie. "

As Sun Yi's most loyal fan, Ba Jue bragged about it realistically.

"Okay, okay, I know your choice, but I still think Evans has a better chance of winning." Kenny Smith sang a different tune.

"Since we disagree, how about we bet on a dinner?"

Barkley knew this was a prearranged script, but he still wanted to trick Kenny Smith.

After hearing this, Kenny Smith found that Barkley was so shameless that he didn't even want to show his face, but for the sake of the popularity of the show, he could only reluctantly agree.

"Charles, I'll accept the bet, and we'll see who will have the last laugh!"

The bet between Barkley and Kenny Smith directly filled the show, allowing more fans to pay attention to the hot topic of the best rookie.

At the same time, Sun Yi, the party involved in the storm of public opinion, is undergoing closed training.

The Warriors players are a little excited about facing the Mavericks in the next playoffs.

After all, they only completed the Black Eight Miracle three years ago.

Now that they are facing each other again in the first round, will they be able to complete the black seven? !
Although there are only a few Warriors players who completed the Black Eight miracle that year, such as Ellis and Biedrins.

However, the addition of young blood such as Sun Yi and Curry has made the Warriors even stronger, and it is very hopeful to complete the black seven.

In the Warriors tactical conference room, Old Nelson was arranging the offensive and defensive tactics for the players for the next game.

"Although we have accomplished the miracle of Black Eight before, don't take it lightly. The Mavericks are no longer the Mavericks of the past, and we are not the Warriors of the past. I hope everyone can go all out to prepare for this round of the series." Old Nelson solemnly reminded .

"Okay, coach."

The players of the Warriors replied in unison, and then sat upright and continued to listen.

Old Nelson nodded in satisfaction, and then began to arrange the next tactics.

At the same time, the Mavericks in Dallas are also preparing for the game.

"Although the Warriors are ranked No.7, they are not weak at all. I don't want you to underestimate your opponents and repeat the mistakes of 07. Do you understand?" Carlisle emphasized.

"Understood!" The Mavericks players nodded and answered.

After Carlisle vaccinated the Mavericks players, he began to make tactical arrangements.

Just as the two teams were preparing for the playoffs, outside media reports made this series a hot topic.

Whether it is the United States or China on the other side of the ocean, fans are looking forward to this set of "grievances" duel.

……

……

May 4, Dallas, American Airlines Center Arena.

At this time, the stadium was already full, and the fans in the auditorium were patiently waiting for the game to start.

This matchup is the most interesting set of matchups in this round of the series.

The two sides drew 2-2 in the regular season, but this can only be used as a reference, and whoever wins and loses can only be known after the fight.

Not long after, amidst the cheers and shouts of the fans, the admission ceremony officially began.

The Mavericks players who were playing at home ran out of the player channel one by one with high spirits, and waved to the enthusiastic fans.

When it was the turn of the Warriors to enter the arena, the fans at the scene did not let them enjoy the treatment of the Mavericks before, only boos and abuse.

After the brief entrance ceremony, players from both sides came to their respective half-courts to conduct warm-up activities.

During the warm-up activities, in the TNT TV studio, Barkley and Kenny Smith, who were the guest commentators for the game, warmed up the game in advance.

"This series between the Warriors and the Mavericks is very interesting. It would not be surprising if either of them wins this series." Barkley expressed his opinion.

"Charles, do you think the Warriors will complete the black seven?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I'm not a prophet, how can I know the final result, but I will fully support Sun Yi in this round of the series." Barkley replied ambiguously.

Seeing that Barkley was not fooled, Kenny Smith could only change the subject.

"The game is about to start, I look forward to Sun Yi's first show in the playoffs to make a brilliant performance!"

After Kenny Smith finished explaining, the TV screen switched to the playing field.

The starting lineups of both teams were displayed on the big screen.

Mavericks starting lineup: Kidd, Deshaun - Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Haywood.

The Mavericks reached the playoffs and made large-scale adjustments to the starting lineup.

They moved the poor defensive Caron Butler to the bench and replaced Dampier with the more aggressive defensive Haywood.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come to the middle circle to prepare for a jump ball.

Sun Yi quickly took off his training clothes, then stood up from the bench, and followed his teammates towards the middle circle.

At this moment, the system's prompt voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Temporary mission released: Warrior of the Bull Slaying!"

"Mission requirements: win this round of the series and complete the black seven."

"Reward for completing the mission: Badge level improvement card +1, S-level shooting bag draw number +1."

After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi walked towards the middle circle with a happy mood.

When everything is ready, the referee throws the ball high into the air.

Randolph jumped up hard, hit the basketball first, and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.

After receiving the ball, Curry quickly dribbled forward and came to the frontcourt to organize the offense.

Kidd was well aware of Curry's shooting ability and quickly stepped forward to defend closely, not giving the elementary school student an opportunity to easily shoot.

Sun Yi quickly ran to the free throw line and made an off-ball screen.

When Sun Yi and Curry attracted the defensive attention, Ellis quickly moved out.

Curry had quick eyes and hands, and passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Xiao Gongju jumped up and shot.

The Mavericks' rotation was very fast, and Marion rushed over to interfere.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
At the basket, Haywood got stuck in position, grabbed the defensive rebound, and immediately found Kidd and passed it over.

Kidd received the pass and dribbled the ball forward in a leisurely manner, while gesturing to direct his teammates to move.

Nowitzki came to the middle distance area on the right, leaning against Sun Yi and reaching for the ball.

Having played against the Warriors several times in the regular season, Nowitzki has been able to overcome the psychological shadow when facing Sun Yi's defense.

Seeing this, Kidd immediately lobbed the ball over.

Nowitzki received the pass, dropped his shoulders, lowered his weight, hit his back, and suddenly turned around and turned back to make a jumper.

Sun Yi reacted immediately and rushed forward to interfere, but Nowitzki's shot was too high and he couldn't block the shot at all.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

0: 2!

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.

The ball is switched and the Warriors attack.

Curry dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, beckoned inside, and called for a pick-and-roll.

Randolph quickly ran out and set up a pick-and-roll.

With the help of a screen, the elementary school student got rid of Kidd's defense, quickly broke into the three-point line, and then accelerated past Heywood, who had switched defenses, and rushed into the penalty area.

Nowitzki was taken beyond the three-point line by Sun Yi, unable to rush back to the penalty area to defend immediately.

Facing the unguarded basket, Curry easily scored a layup.

2: 2!

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, and Kidd came to the top of the key to direct his teammates' movements and prepare to deal the cards.

Haywood came up and set an off-ball screen for Marion.

Marion bypassed the screen and ran out of the three-point line, received a predictive pass from Kidd, and hit a three-pointer with a knife.

2: 5!

Randolph picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, sent the ball out, and then ran towards the front court.

After receiving the pass, Curry immediately started to advance towards the frontcourt at the fastest speed, playing a run-and-gun tactic.

The Mavericks studied the Warriors' tactics and immediately rushed back to defend.

Sun Yi, who was on the fast break, suddenly accelerated, got rid of Nowitzki who was chasing behind him, and rushed towards the basket quickly.

Seeing Sun Yiyuan's back, Nowitzki muttered in a low voice: "This kid is too dishonest. He even has reservations. This is another improvement!"

On the other side, Curry saw that Sun Yi ran out of the opportunity, hit the ground and passed the ball.

Sun Yi, who was on the move, received the pass, rushed to the basket and flew to the basket to score.

4: 5!

"Both sides got into the state quickly at the beginning and played back and forth. Only this kind of game is worth watching." Barkley commented.

In the next few rounds, the two sides increased their defensive strength, resulting in a decline in shooting percentage.

On the Warriors' bench, Old Nelson frowned seeing the situation on the field. He was not very satisfied with the team's offense, so he sent Reggie Williams to strengthen the outside firepower.

After substitution adjustments, the Warriors attacked.

Curry dribbled to outside the three-point line, passed the ball to Sun Yi, and then quickly ran without the ball.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, made a triple threat action, and took a probing step.

Nowitzki did not act rashly, and observed Sun Yi's movements before making further plans.

Seeing this, Sun Yi quickly retracted his probing foot and raised his hand as if to shoot. Seeing that Nowitzki still refused to falter, he pretended to throw the ball out.

Nowitzki didn't expect Sun Yi to be so decisive and failed to rush to interfere immediately.

Clang!
It's a pity that the ball didn't hit!

Under the basket, Haywood grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Kidd to dribble forward.

Kidd received the pass, took a dribble, saw his teammates running out of opportunities, and passed the ball to the frontcourt.

Stevenson, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed towards the basket quickly, and flew to the basket to score the ball.

Looking back, the Warriors attacked.

With the help of Sun Yi's cover, Curry got rid of Kidd's defense and directly shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks made a passing error. Sun Yi suddenly came out to complete the steal and then quickly passed the ball out.

Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass and quickly came to the outside of the three-point line. Without any hesitation, he jumped up and shot, and hit a chasing three-pointer again.

After the Warriors scored this goal, they tied the point difference.

On the Mavericks bench, Carlisle saw that the situation on the court was not good and immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
