NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 185 Entering the MVP list, Bosh thrombus

The game is over.

All members of the Heat went to Charlotte non-stop to challenge the Hornets back to back.

Although the game against the Thunder clocked in three quarters, the long-distance flight and bus ride required a bumpy journey, which caused the Heat to be unable to enter the state for a long time.

The condition is pretty bad.

But the hard power is here after all. In the middle of the fourth quarter, Xue Liancheng and Uncle Wei both exerted their strength to complete another wave and directly take away the game.

The final score was 91:78.

The team's defense began to show its power, limiting the opponent to less than 80 points.

Spoelstra has created a set of defensive tactics with Gasol as the core, Ibaka, PJ-Tucker, and Wade as supplements, which have gradually taken shape.

With Gasol as the main frame protector and Ibaka, who is excellent in running and jumping, assisting from the side, the two teamed up to guard the penalty area.

Whether it is defensive awareness, defensive skills, physical energy, or lateral footsteps, Gasol Jr. is now at its peak.

The frame protection effect is definitely the first-class existence in the league.

But he is not without flaws.

Relatively speaking, his footsteps are still slow, and his physical talent is not considered outstanding among interior players, so it will be very difficult for him to meet such a player with a strong impact.

But with the highly mobile Ibaka, the effect is completely different, and it can perfectly make up for all the shortcomings of Gasol.

And Ibaka's physical talent has faded visible to the naked eye because of the closed injection in the Western Conference finals last year, but even so, he still has an absolute advantage in running and jumping. Compared with Marcus Morris, who is also a space-type insider, At least in terms of athletic ability, it should be stronger.

And his shortcomings are precisely Gasol's advantages, such as defensive awareness, defensive skills, and the effect of protecting the frame, which are relatively lacking.

Therefore, the two partners can be described as a match made in heaven, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses.

PJ-Tucker plays the role of defensive gate, and his main task is to entangle the opponent's perimeter master without interruption.

Small like Paul, big like James, tall like Durant, PJ-Tucker can fight the defense, and the defensive effect is excellent.

Wade, on the other hand, is more responsible for assisting defense tasks, and at the same time mainly marks the second person on the opponent's perimeter.

Don't underestimate Wade's defense. Now his body has degenerated. At his peak, he was also a combination of offense and defense, a very powerful existence.

As for Xue Liancheng?
With those shooters, or the opponent's defensive champion, with the evolution of predictive ability, he can still do this job well.

On the bench, Chalmers and Batum's defense is definitely elite level. Although Marcus Morris is average, his single defense is also above the standard.

The Heat's entire important rotation basically has good defensive capabilities.

and so.

On this basis, and through the kneading of Spoelstra, the Heat's defensive efficiency has improved by at least two levels compared to before the trade.

From the middle level of the league, he has become a top existence in the league.

In this game, relying on suffocating defense, the Hornets were suffocated directly.

Kemba Walker made 17 of 4 shots and almost distorted the basket.

Gerald - Henderson 13 for 4, also very miserable.

Cody Zeller went straight to 8 of 1, which was horrible.

Without Jefferson's restraint and outstanding performance, the Hornets probably wouldn't be able to break 70 points.

Even in the last 4 minutes, if the Heat maintain that suffocating defense, the Hornets may only score 60 points.

That's right.

That's the whole game.

Can be imagined.

How terrible it is for the Heat to defend with all their strength.

of course.

These are all assumptions.

However, one thing is certain, that is, even if all the Heat feel bad, they can still kill the opponent with their super defense.

This is the effect of trading Gasol Jr., PJ-Tucker, Ibaka and others, which invisibly improved their basics.

As for the upper limit?
That depends on the performance of Xue Liancheng and Wade, that is, the firepower on the offensive end.

The two of them propped up the upper limit of the Heat, and where they can go will be decided by the two of them.

Especially Xue Liancheng.

He is the engine of the Heat, providing a steady stream of power and driving the team forward.

Once he is turned off, the entire offensive system will collapse, and everyone will fall into a solo fight. It may barely work in the regular season. After all, the strength of the players in the team can maintain the record.

But it is basically very difficult to go far in the playoffs.

This is the importance of the tactical system.

In this game, although Xue Liancheng only scored 16 points, he was still able to send out 12 assists.

With the performance of this game.

He officially entered the ranks of 20+10+5.

He averaged 20.9 points per game, 10 assists per game, and 5.1 rebounds per game, making him unique in the league's backcourt.

Numerous media also reported Xue Liancheng's achievement.

Among them, the headline of the "Yahoo Sports" report is the most eye-catching.

"The Strongest Rookie Since the New Century - Xue Liancheng"

Contents:

After entering the new century, there have been many rookie season players with phenomenal performances, such as Elton Brand 20+10, LeBron James 20+5+5, Tyreke Evans 20+ 5+5, Blake Griffin 22+12, they are all very good, they are all players who scored 20+ in their rookie season.

But compared with Xue Liancheng, there is still a clear gap.

Purely in terms of statistics, Xue Liancheng beat any of them.

Generally speaking, the standard for measuring elite-level backcourt players is 20+5+5, and elite-level insiders are 20+10.

Then Xue Liancheng contributed 20 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds per game, which is definitely the elite of the elite.

Such explosive data, in any era, is definitely the top existence of the league.

And Xue Liancheng did it in the first season.

not only.

Xue Liancheng's influence on the game is not comparable to them.

Now the Heat's offensive system is built around Xue Liancheng. He is the absolute core of the team. Under his control, the Heat's offensive firepower has significantly improved.

At the same time, as an outside player, his efficiency is also amazing, and his shooting rate is infinitely close to the 50 club of 40%+90%+180%.

The most important point is that the above-mentioned players who performed phenomenally in their rookie seasons only achieved such statistics when the team did not pursue a record.

And Xue Liancheng's Miami Heat is a championship team.

The defensive pressure they face and the pursuit of the game are not at the same level at all.

and so.

no doubt.

Xue Liancheng is the strongest rookie since the new century.

none of them.

……

This topic has aroused countless discussions among fans.

In fact, most people agree.

But there are also a small group of fans who think that is not the case.

"If James has top stars Wade and Bosh to share the defensive pressure in the first season, his statistics may be better, and then the best defensive player Gasol is assisted, and the Cavaliers' record will not be good. Where is the difference, so teammates are very important."

"It's amazing, and I don't even look at who is Xue Liancheng's teammates. What are James' teammates like?"

"The strongest rookie of the new century? Seeing him struggling to break through, he is still the strongest? Not one of them? Brainless bragging..."

"Xue Liancheng's vision is really good, and his passing skills are really amazing, but in terms of personal strength, can he rank first? He's still the strongest..."

These disagreements are nothing more than saying that the team around Xue Liancheng is friendly, and Xue Liancheng's real personal strength is not that strong.

And soon some fans asked weakly.

"Is there a possibility that James has top stars like Wade and Bosh beside him, and it is estimated that he doesn't even have 20+5+5 data?"

"If there is a possibility to remove, if James has top stars around him, his statistics will definitely not be much better, because James will not play off the ball from the beginning to the end, and the core style of play can only play 20+5+ at the beginning. The data of 5 is only, otherwise...hehe!"

“妈耶！人家薛连城20+10+5，你詹姆斯是多少来着？20+5+5，两者有可比性吗？”

"Xue Liancheng led the Heat to second place in the Eastern Conference. Where did James lead the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference? People were talking to you about who performed better. At this time, you mentioned your teammates to me?"

"The core defensive pressure of the championship team is low? Are you kidding me?"

"Personal efficiency is even more of a demon mirror. The efficiency of the two is not at the same level at all. Xue Liancheng's 50%+40%+90% is close to 180 clubs. Your overall shooting rate of James is 41.7%, and he shoots 18.9 balls. He scored 20.9 points, made only 29% of his three-pointers, and made 75% of his free throws. The performance of the two is not at the same level, okay?"

"If you didn't make it to the playoffs in the first season, you said that your teammates are not good. How about Xue Liancheng's teammates? Didn't you say that Wade and Bosh were rotten last season? Did you say that you couldn't move them? Now Xue Liancheng Driven, you said that Xue Liancheng's teammates are all right."

"Is the cause and effect reversed? Aren't Wade and Bosh rotten in your eyes? How come this has become a top star again? Xue Liancheng took the second place in the Eastern Conference with these rags, doesn't it prove that Xue Liancheng is extremely Excellent? Your rookie season was better than your peak Zhan..."

"That's right, the existence of Xue Liancheng made Wade shine again, okay?"

"If you want to say that the most controversial rookie player since the new century is Blake Griffin, then you can barely say it. After all, 22+12, why are you James? Can't make the playoffs, and the efficiency is extremely low. That's it. Do you want to be the strongest too?"

"Whether it's statistics, team record, influence on the team, or personal efficiency, Xue Liancheng is always crushing them. I don't know where the controversy lies..."

One by one, the big mouths slapped all over the frame, making those clamorers speechless for an instant.

Because these words are facts, there is no way to refute them.

Especially when it comes to last season, my big Zhan Huang honey said that Wade and Bosh were shabby, and pitifully said that I did my best, and my teammates dragged my feet and other remarks, which were very heart-wrenching.

The tatters that Zhan Huang couldn't move at the peak were actually driven by Xue Liancheng.

This is so...

It was like a knife, directly inserted into the heart.

And that night.

The new MVP list is updated again.

Relying on the huge ferment of public opinion before, Xue Liancheng entered the MVP list for the first time this season, and entered No.5 as soon as he entered.

This is the typical cry baby gets milk.

If Xue Liancheng did not make a sound, did not come out to find a sense of presence, and did not express dissatisfaction, then it is estimated that he still does not have a place in the MVP list.

Because public opinion is highly oriented, the media had to put him in.

after all……

No matter how hard you resist, you will lose your credibility.

But this still attracted the ridicule of countless Heat fans.

"30 wins and 12 losses, the third record in the league, the East ranked second, averaging 21+10+5 per game, and it is only ranked fifth, I am so embarrassed."

"20+10+5 point guard, since the new century, how many players can do it? It seems... there is no one, but this performance is still not respected, what a black heart..."

"How far should Xue Liancheng play in order to be recognized?"

"A fake list..."

"In terms of statistics, Xue Liancheng is already the best point guard in the league, and his record ranks among the top three in the league, but he is only ranked fifth in the MVP list?"

"This is Chi Guoguo's prejudice. I don't know if it's because of the skin color, Xue Liancheng is a rookie, or something else, but it's very disgusting anyway."

"Look who is in the top four, Curry? I won't talk about it. The league's first record, the statistics are not bad, and the number one can barely be said. Harden's statistics are better, and the record is also good. It’s justifiable to be ranked second. James is the third? Why? With a record of 23 wins and 20 losses? Or with 25+7+6? Is it better than Xue Liancheng? Er, the Wizards record is only 29 wins and 14 losses, is it better than the Heat? The data is 17+10+4, which is a grade worse than Xue Liancheng, right? This is still ahead of Xue Liancheng."

Heat fans are angry for a reason.

The media doesn't respect their stars, that's disrespecting them.

They were underestimated by Chi Guoguo, who could bear it?

Anyway, the Heat fans can't stand it.

But the venting of the Heat fans once again aroused the dissatisfaction of my big Zhan Huangmi.

After all, their idols were questioned as unworthy of the third MVP ranking, how could they accept it?

Immediately launched a counterattack, the reason is: Xue Liancheng has two starting All-Star teammates next to him, Wade can contribute 22 points per game, and another Gasol Jr. is not bad, averaging 16+7+3 per game. The role is even more important. With the help of such teammates, can the Heat's record be poor?

MVP, as the name suggests, is the most valuable player.

The existence of two all-star teammates shared Xue Liancheng's offensive and defensive pressure, which is equivalent to a three-core drive, so Xue Liancheng's value is obviously inflated, what's wrong with ranking fifth?
……

Where is the Heat willing to show weakness, and began to present facts and evidence: When James won two consecutive MVPs in 12 and 13, why didn't you talk about the three-core?This season, the Cavaliers are also a team of the Big Three. Why can James be ranked in Xue Liancheng?In terms of record and statistics, how can you stabilize Xue Liancheng?What qualifications do you have to be ranked third?
……

The Cavaliers fans counterattacked: Like a group of mad dogs, why don't you bite Wall, who is ranked fourth?Just stare at me, Big Zhan, don't you just want to touch porcelain?spicy chicken...

……

Heat fans are on fire: Who knows who is hot? The younger Big Three form a team, but the record is only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. How dare they compete for the top three in the MVP. How shameless?Do you want to force your face?

……

This time.

The two sides began to curse.

Even the scolding between the two sides became more and more intense, and it was directly on the hot search.

Because the Heat and the Cavaliers have an unexplainable grievance, Xue Liancheng has been used to talk about it since he played well. Did he replace James?

After all, this is an unavoidable topic.

James came out of the Heat, and he couldn't get around it no matter how he went.

As Xue Liancheng played better and better and the Heat's record got better and better, even better than last season, people raised more and more questions. Is James so important to the Heat?

A rookie who has just debuted has replaced your No.1 position in the league and played a greater role. You said that you are indispensable to the Heat who won two championships in four years. Who would believe it?
People have also upgraded from discussing Xue Liancheng's replacement of LeBron to a comparison between Xue Liancheng and James.

This topic that will never fade, coupled with the previous collision between the two sides, sparked sparks. With this MVP battle, the fans of both sides exploded.

The abuse is endless...

In the end, it evolved into an indiscriminate attack from both sides, cutting in from different angles such as appearance, weight, family members, turning over old accounts, talking about embarrassing things, and even fans began to attack each other personally, with various unsatisfactory warnings, and another crazy output.

this day.

On Twitter, almost all the fans of both sides dominated the screen, causing a sensation even greater than Bosh's diagnosis of a pulmonary thrombosis.

That's right.

Not long after the MVP was announced, the Grizzlies officially announced that Bosh was officially reimbursed for the season due to a blood clot in his lungs.

caused a huge stir.

Thrombosis in the lungs can cause breathing difficulties, especially for athletes who have to fight fiercely on the field. Once the thrombus expands and blocks the pulmonary artery, it may be life-threatening.

In other words.

Bosh is likely to retire because of this.

A champion member, when such a big event happened to an All-Star, one can imagine the sensation it caused. Not only the basketball circle, but also celebrities in the outside circle also prayed and sent blessings to Bosh.

But even such a sensational event is far less popular than the passionate scolding between Cavaliers fans and Heat fans.

From this, one can imagine how fierce and terrifying this scolding battle was.

And Cavaliers fans, even talking about Bosh's blood clots, attacked the Heat as a dirty team.

"Riley is simply inhuman, and killed the grizzly."

"Heavenly Heat, they kicked Bosh away mercilessly when they used up Bosh. It is recommended that the league investigate this transaction and allow the Grizzlies to return the product."

"Made... It's really not a thing to poach someone else's defensive core and send a thrombus player."

"The grizzly bear is so pitiful, it stepped on a sinkhole."

"It should be the Heat's insidiousness that made the Grizzlies miserable."

"Everyone on this Heat team should be damned..."

In addition to using this to attack the Heat's Cavaliers fans, more fans sympathize with the Grizzlies and Bosh.

"The Grizzlies are finished. After only playing two games, they will be reimbursed for the season and even retire early. It's really bloody bad luck."

"Grizzly probably wants to die."

"It's hard to say whether you want to die, but there will definitely be tears in the Grizzlies management."

"I declare that the Grizzlies have entered the rebuilding period ahead of schedule."

"It's a pity for Bosh. After finally proving himself, this happened again. His career is over..."

"The Heat's trade of Bosh is too strange, isn't it? Could it be a conspiracy?"

"It's too late to say anything now, there's no way... Everyone has played a few games and passed the physical examination. It's useless to complain now."
