NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 121 Such a player is born great!
O'Neal: "Xue, please tell me how you feel at this moment."

Xue Liancheng said, "Very beautiful."

"..."

O'Neal is a little confused, broke the single-game assist record for a rookie, left his name in NBA history, and is on par with the pioneers. Why should he be so excited with this expression that is not salty?Shouldn't it be ecstatic?Shouldn't there be a set of words to thank God?
Why... No response at all?
Filled with doubts, he then asked, "Don't you know you've made a great record?"

Xue Liancheng said again: "I know, but this is just a statistic. In the face of victory, any statistic must be sidelined. If the game is lost, then the so-called record is not worth mentioning. Help the team win the game. That's the most important thing, people who play for numbers are never going to be happy, glad I'm not."

Ok……

He doesn't know about the other games, but this victory is still very important anyway.

His old mentor can finally get a short breathing right.

After all, if he loses again this time, it will be five consecutive losses, and then there may be six consecutive losses... seven consecutive losses... eight consecutive losses...

It's all right now, the old benefactor can breathe with peace of mind.

As for whether the data is important?

nonsense……

Of course it matters.

This is the most intuitive performance that reflects your contribution to the team.

You have 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks. The win contribution value is negative, and the plus-minus value is negative. You say that you have made an extremely important contribution to the team. Do you believe this?
Of course not.

The reason why statistics appear is to measure your contribution on the court.

The better the data, the more you contribute and the greater the effect on the team.

on the contrary.

It means that you are dispensable, or even a big drag.

Besides.

And most importantly, data can also help you get big contracts and earn more dollars.

Even, data is the prerequisite for you to get a big contract.

This has to be the focus...

of course.

Xue Liancheng was definitely not talking nonsense, the statistics are really not worth mentioning in front of victory.

Is it confusing?

it's actually really easy.

Victory is the first premise. Only when you win, your data will be meaningful.

If you lose and keep losing, then no matter how good your data is, it is still a data brush.

The most famous ones are Randolph in the early days, Love in the first two seasons, and Monta Ellis in the Warriors period. team wins.

These data will appear meaningless.

There is also a data brush, which is quite secretive.

They will be very concerned about their data, and do something to make their data look more beautiful.

For example, there are still two seconds left at the end of the quarter, and there is not much time left. At this time, you have to shoot the ball after half court, and you have to shoot before half court. The shooting percentage of this kind of shooting is very low. , In order to maintain a high shooting rate, many players will directly give up this kind of shooting opportunity, and they are not even willing to try to be fooled, because they are afraid of lowering the shooting rate.

For example, when the game is about to end, the countdown starts and the team is behind by 5 or 6 points. At this time, everyone knows to shoot a three-pointer. Only by shooting a three-pointer can there be hope for a comeback.

But some players are very selfish. He will take advantage of the two-point gap when the opponent is not defending, to raid the basket and layup with blood.

Then he fouled, let the opposing player make a free throw, and then he rushed to the basket.

Repeat two or three times...

In this way, after a game, you will find that the team lost, but this player has good statistics and high hits.

Even in the future, when the media counted the key score rankings in the last minute, he was at the top, and then countless fans shouted awesome, Mr. Key...

Another example is in a 24-second offensive round, the teammates can't solve the problem, the tactics don't work, and the movement and cover consume 18 seconds, which means that there are still 4 seconds left. At this time, everyone knows what should be done. Let the leading players stand up and solve the problem.

But some leading players treat the ball as a hot potato, as if you don't pass it to me.

Even if it is passed to him, he will throw it out immediately.

It's like there are more than two seconds left in the game, and Xue Liancheng throws the ball to Luol Deng.

This is a typical dumping pot.

not in?

That's my business, and it's not my iron, it won't lower my hit rate.

in?

Fuck!Awesome... I added another assist.

This kind of data brush can also be called a data brush, but the brushing is not so obvious, and his data will accumulate very well even unconsciously.

That's right!

That's what I said.

—— Xue Liancheng.

Anyway, in his opinion, his assist record in this game is not commendable, nor is there anything to be proud of.

There are some passes, he does pass well, allowing teammates to get very easy scoring opportunities.

And there are some passes that are purely because the teammates feel overwhelming. No matter how he passes, the teammates will have them.

Who does this make him talk to?

Coupled with his appalling shooting percentage, now O'Neill is talking about this record, which makes him a little ashamed.

In this game, his performance can only be regarded as numb...

Excited?
Get excited!

Killing the Rockets, killing the Hornets, and reversing the Eagles, his emotions were still turbulent in these games, and he was really excited at the time.

On the contrary, this time, even if the record was broken, he didn't think it was anything special.

O'Neal: "..."

at this time.

He only felt his brain buzzing, and he was suddenly stunned by the pattern.

It turned out that the data they were excitedly talking about was nothing to Xue Liancheng.

This made him stand in awe, and the way he looked at Xue Liancheng changed slightly, "Xue, if you were placed in our era, I think you should be a very good player."

In the 90s and the beginning of the new century, data-theoretic heroes still existed widely, but they were not as utilitarian and fruitless as they are now.

At that time, the team would directly call someone's team, or a team of a certain combination. The honor of the team was equivalent to the honor of the star himself. Going for victory.

The fans at that time also paid more attention to your performance on the field than the statistics after the game.

Like Iverson, his shooting percentage is actually abysmal, just over 40%. In his peak years, he even had a shooting percentage of 38% to 39%, and his career only exceeded 46% in one season.

But it can still win the love of countless fans.

why?
Because of his rebelliousness?Or his lone hero?Or is it his gorgeous style of play?

There are.

But the most important thing is Iverson's unyielding fighting spirit, tenacious personality, spirit of never admitting defeat, and his 183cm size dominates the game, breaking people's prejudices. Who said this is the world of elders?Who says small people can't play games?

And most importantly, his hard work in the game is really not comparable to that of ordinary stars.

This is what an athlete should be like.

That's why people like it.

O'Neill compared Xue Liancheng to his era, which is actually a compliment.

But Xue Liancheng doesn't think so, "I am a very good player in any era."

O'Neal: "..."

After a pause, he realized that the question he wanted to ask the most, the question that people paid the most attention to, had already been skipped. How does it affect your state?"

Xue Liancheng shook his head, "The hand feeling is still quite affected, but I believe it will get better soon."

Deducting the three-pointer with the 100% hit skill, he made 11 of 3 shots and a 27% hit rate.

This is so special.

How can he have the face to say that he played well?

How can you get excited?

O'Neill: "What are the factors that can win this game?"

Xue Liancheng: "The teammates have a good touch. They can always run out of position and make some shots that should be scored."

O'Neill's question was a bit boring, and he simply ended it: "Then, thank you for your answer, and I wish you a good night."

Xue Liancheng: "Thank you!"

Draped in a towel.

Leave.

Go back to the locker room.

A group of teammates rushed forward anxiously. Obviously, they were still very excited about Xue Liancheng's new record.

But Xue Liancheng really didn't care too much, especially when he saw Luol Deng's excited expression, for some reason, he even felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Damn you!

How dare you celebrate the military medals thrown out of the pot.

Looking at the skeleton of Luol Deng, who was stepped on by him, he was still happy for him.

Put him to shame for a while.

"That's enough! That's enough! Brothers, this is your credit, you are the ones who brought this honor, and you should be the ones who should be congratulated."

Xue Liancheng stopped immediately, very sincerely.

Uncle Wei was stunned, "Xue, what's wrong with you?"

Something is wrong with my little brother!

Xue Liancheng said, "I'm fine. I'm very happy to win the game and end the four-game losing streak."

Uncle Wei still didn't give up: "It's good to be happy to end the four-game losing streak, but you set a new record for rookie assists in a single game! Do you know what this means?"

Xue Liancheng: "What?"

Uncle Wei: "It means that you have left your name in the history of the NBA. This is a great achievement."

Xue Liancheng raised his head and thought for a moment, "Then should I laugh three times?"

Uncle Wei: "..."

Xue Liancheng said seriously, "Without your good touch and hot state, this record would have been impossible to complete, so I think you should be remembered."

A group of teammates nodded slightly: This sounds good.

Xue Liancheng added, "If we lose this game, then this record is not only a glory, but a shame, because when people mention it in the future, they will say: This record is amazing! A total of 27 assists is too much. Amazing, hey, why did the team lose, sent 27 assists, and lost the game, what rubbish...wouldn't it be a swipe?"

This time.

The teammates couldn't stop laughing.

Xue Liancheng continued, "So, winning the game is the most important thing, is that so?"

Uncle Wei stared at Xue Liancheng, his eyes changed slightly, "Xue, you are really different, it is my honor to be your teammate."

He has been fighting in this alliance for more than ten years, and has experienced all kinds of storms. In fact, his pursuit of data has been very light.

But now that he is bearish, it does not mean that he was indifferent when he first entered the league.

It can even be said that at that time, his passion for data was no less than seeing a stripped girl.

Do not!
Not just him.

Most, or basically, everyone enters the NBA chasing stats like crazy.

Some rookies score 30 points, and they may have to celebrate and have fun.

Tell people everywhere: I scored 30 points, is it awesome?
And Xue Liancheng turned a blind eye to such a heavy record in his rookie season, thinking that the victory of the game is the most important thing, which undoubtedly made him admire.

Even in awe.

This is the real competitive spirit.

The way the others looked at Xue Liancheng also changed!

become respectful.

In fact.

They misunderstood classmates from Xiaocheng.

He's not that great, and he's not that selfless. He just feels that he didn't play very well. The assist record is all thanks to everyone. Especially when he saw Luol Deng, he felt ashamed and felt sorry for his teammates. This record was created for him.

for data.

He is determined to get it. How can he get a big contract if he doesn't get it?How to enter the All-Stars?

But it is best to collect some statistics without hurting the team and chasing victory. He thinks it is very, very necessary.

As he said in the interview: In the face of victory, data stands aside.

Rather than thinking that data is unimportant.

That would be bullshit.

Without data, where does he now come from the core position and a lot of possessions?

……

……

And this time.

The major sports sections once again heavily reported on Xue Liancheng.

In the first game of his comeback, he not only helped the team win the second-placed Grizzlies in the Western Conference, but also set a new record for rookie assists in a single game. The performance can be described as perfect, and the third giant deserves its name.

For a moment, that was really unmatched!
FOX Sports once again put Xue Liancheng on the front page "Xue Liancheng makes a strong comeback with a new record of rookie assists in a single game, proving that he is worthy of the name of the third giant".

Not to belittle the rest of the Heat.

Let's look at a set of data first.

Without Xue Liancheng, 3 wins and 8 losses, suffering a wave of four consecutive losses.

With Xue Liancheng's game, a wave of nine consecutive victories started.

This is why everyone expects Xue Liancheng to come back as the Savior.

And Xue Liancheng lived up to expectations, he used his exquisite passing to win this precious victory without bloodshed.

Before facing the Grizzlies, the Heat were experiencing a wave of four-game losing streak, the playoffs became precarious, and Spoelstra was also under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

With only one more Xue Liancheng, they won the Memphis Grizzlies, the second place in the West.

This is the second place in the Western Conference. Before the start of the game, they only lost four games. No need to say how strong they are.

But they were still suppressed by the Heat from the beginning to the end, and finally broke the golden body at home and lost this focus battle.

in the process.

The Heat were chased down to 1 point twice. When the situation was critical, it was Xue Liancheng who stood up and continued to use his vision and ability to read the game to open the score again and suppress the momentum of the Grizzlies' counterattack.

Xue Liancheng's importance to the Heat is no less than that of Dwyane and Chris.

He is now the Heat's third giant, and I believe there is no doubt about it.

In this game, Xue Liancheng contributed as many as 27 assists, breaking Ernie Gregorio's single-game assist record for a rookie and becoming a new record holder.

But the focus of what I want to say today is not these.

It was Xue Liancheng's answer in the post-match interview.

O'Neill asked him: How do you feel?
Xue Liancheng didn't have much expression, and replied: Very beautiful.

O'Neill thought at the time that Xue Liancheng didn't know that he had set a new record, so he asked: Don't you know that you have completed a great record?
Xue Liancheng replied like this: Yes, but this is just a statistic. Before victory, any statistic must be sidelined. If the game is lost, then the so-called record is not worth mentioning. It is only to help the team win the game Is the most important thing, people who play for stats are never happy, glad I'm not.

listen...

This is Xue Liancheng's answer.

An answer that should have been normal for an athlete shocked me greatly.

victory.

It is the eternal pursuit of an athlete.

But many players forget this, and they only think about collecting statistics and earning big contracts, ignoring the life and death of the team, and even doing things that hurt the team for the sake of statistics, and their desire for victory is almost zero.

I feel deeply sad that sportsmanship is being worn away bit by bit like this.

The alliance has changed over the years, becoming utilitarian and less passionate.

If another player gets 27 assists, do you think he will jump up?
I must have jumped up and down, couldn't help but say some words of thanks, and I am very proud of the famous people.

Look at Xue Liancheng again.

Even if he got 27 assists and created a new record for assists in a rookie game, it was still as flat as water, indicating that victory is the first.

This is called not forgetting the original intention, and this is what an athlete should look like.

On the road of chasing victory, he overcame obstacles, was desperate, put aside distracting thoughts, and only wanted to win the game.

Such a player is born great.

-- FOX Sports Frank.

Now Frank has become a reporter for "Xue Liancheng Column".

but.

This time, he changed his previous style.

No longer displaying the thrilling statistics, no longer marveling at how powerful Xue Liancheng is, even Xue Liancheng's rookie record of assists in a single game is mentioned in one stroke.

Instead, they praised Xue Liancheng's sportsmanship and unyielding fighting spirit in chasing victory, which immediately raised Xue Liancheng's stature.

As soon as this report came out, it once again caused an uproar in Beichou.

Because this report satirized many famous superstars who were born for data.

Fans of those superstars immediately took their seats, scolding Frank for being a sycophant and a trash with stinky feet.

At the same time, Xue Liancheng was scolded for being hypocritical and pretending. Some people even thought that Xue Liancheng had already celebrated in the locker room.

But more people gave Frank a thumbs up.

Simultaneously.

This report also attracted countless fans for Xue Liancheng.

A rookie can actually embody such a big pattern, and he can't change his face when facing this moment of writing historical records.

This undoubtedly attracted praise from fans who looked down on the data.

"Such a player is born great" and "Victory is an athlete's eternal pursuit" has become Xue Liancheng's personal label.

Yeah!

A player who abandons statistics, remains unmoved by records, and focuses on pursuing victory can create the charm of sports competition.

Such a player is destined for greatness.
