The April schedule has kicked off, the competition between the East and West has entered its most intense moment, and the playoff spot battle has officially begun.
April 2, Oracle Arena.
The Warriors will host the Kings tonight.
The Kings currently rank second to last in the Western Conference with a record of 20 wins and 52 losses.
Originally, they wanted to lose on purpose and drop to last place in the Western Conference to increase their chances of getting a high draft pick.
But if the Timberwolves don't do it, these guys are frantically losing and improving their statistics. They have lost 15 games in a row. At this stage, they only have a record of 13 wins and 60 losses. They are the last in the Western Conference.
Unable to compete for last place in the Western Conference, the Kings can only use the entire team to improve Evans' statistics and compete for the honor of Rookie of the Year.
But the Warriors quit, and the Rookie of the Year award has long been in Sun Yi's possession, so of course he can't let outsiders get involved.
Therefore, both sides went all out to win this game.
The Warriors are led by Sun Yi, and they will deliver ammunition to him at all costs.
The Kings have Evans as the main player, and the entire team can use their strength to give him unlimited firing rights.
Sun Yi didn't turn into a single-minded person. If he didn't have a good opportunity, he would still pass the ball out and let his teammates help him with assists.
Evans doesn't care and ends the offense as long as the ball is in his hands.
There is a gap in strength between the two teams, and the Warriors are more skilled and firmly hold the lead.
The Kings have given up the outcome of the game in order to help Evans improve his statistics.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Kings 134-105.
In terms of statistics, Sun Yi once again won the honor of the best player of the game.
With the help of all Warriors players, Sun Yi scored a triple-double of 35 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.
For the Kings, the best player is Evans.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
Sun Yi had the last laugh in this data-brushing war.
Afterwards, in order to ensure that Sun Yi could win the Rookie of the Year award, the Warriors once again helped Sun Yi to improve his statistics against the disintegrated Wizards.
Without Arenas, Jamison, Butler, and Stephen Jackson, the Wizards have completely become a weak team, ready to be slaughtered.
In this game, Sun Yi felt very hot and was very lucky. As long as he received a pass from Curry, he could activate the bond badge [Marksman], and his shooting rate was surprisingly high.
The home fans of the Warriors once again witnessed Sun Yi making history.
In three quarters of the game, Sun Yi made 8 of 10 three-pointers and scored 58 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, once again demonstrating his explosive scoring ability.
There was no suspense about the result of the game. The Warriors defeated the Wizards.
After this game, Sun Yi once again became famous all over the United States, and his popularity further increased.
In the following games, the Warriors defeated strong opponents such as the Lakers and Spurs one after another, and lost to the Nuggets and Mavericks.
April 15th is the final day of the NBA regular season.
With Curry's key three-pointer and Sun Yi's fatal steal, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Thunder in an away game and won the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.
At this point, the 2009-10 NBA regular season is over.
