NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 192
After defeating the Spurs, the Heat have won 38 consecutive victories, and their record has reached 12 wins and [-] losses.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers being sniped by the Pacers, at present, the Heat are the only team in the league with a winning streak of more than 10 games.

The grand momentum of the momentum makes people look sideways and terrified.

The number one in the league is still the Atlanta Hawks, with 40 wins and 10 losses, which is the best in the league.

Ranked second is the Golden State Warriors. With their defeat by the Eagles in today's top spot battle, their record has reached 38 wins and 10 losses, only one game away from the Heat.

East's current standings.

The Atlanta Hawks are 40-10.

The Miami Heat are 38-12.

The two of them are on the same level, competing for the top spot.

The Toronto Raptors are 33-17.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 31-20.

The Washington Wizards are 31-20.

The Chicago Bulls are 30-20.

The seventh Walmiki Bucks have 26 wins and 24 losses, which is a distance away from the top six.

And No.8 is the Charlotte Hornets, which is an exaggerated 20 wins and 29 losses.

Do you believe it?
That's right.

That's 20 wins and 29 losses.

To be able to make it to the playoffs just like this is simply astonishing.

Then the ninth place is the Brooklyn Nets, also 20 wins and 29 losses. The relationship between the win and loss can only be ranked ninth.

The Pistons are 19-32.

The Celtics are 18-31.

The Pacers are 17-34.

That's all, there are still qualifications for the playoffs, this is the Eastern Conference.

Tell the truth.

If this is placed in the west, it will only be for Shen Jiang.

playoffs?
Do your Spring and Autumn Dreams.

Magic 14 wins and 37 losses.

The Knicks are 10-40.

Digiman 10 wins and 40 losses.

These bad teams are probably gone.

That's what's happening in the East right now.

With a wave of 12 consecutive victories after the Cleveland Cavaliers trade, they finally rushed from a record of 19 wins and 19 losses.

Overwhelming the Washington Wizards with the same record, the ranking has already ranked fourth in the East, and the new Big Three have also shown their power, and the momentum is quite fierce.

And it's the last week before the All-Star Weekend.

The Heat currently have two games left.

After playing the Spurs, they rested for two days. They first played against the big-bodied Knicks at home, and then took another day off to go to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers.

After playing the Cavaliers, the week-long rest officially began.

Heat VS Cavaliers.

It's time to warm up early.

The first is the bet between FOX Sports Frank and ESPN Wenhorst, which resurfaced again.

As columnists of major media, the two have a good reputation.

In addition, the two represented Xue Liancheng and James respectively, so the bet between the two, which was sensational at the beginning, caused huge waves again towards the end.

The Heat are in the last two games of the All-Star Weekend, and everyone's eyes are on it.

Someone has figured it out. So far, Xue Liancheng's average per game is 21.9 points, 10.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds.

It is already a world of difference from the 18+9+4 of the game.

basically……

Do not……

Not just basically, but everything has been settled, even if Xue Liancheng's three statistics are all zero in the next two games, 0 points, 0 assists and 0 rebounds, then...

He averaged 20.8 points per game, 9.9 assists per game and 5 rebounds per game.

也就是说，薛连城在全明星周末前，最少也能达到20+9+5，绝对不会低于18+9+4。

and so.

The game is over early.

Fans without the ball have flocked to Windhorst's Twitter feed.

"Big injustice, the game has ended ahead of schedule. If you have any last words, tell them quickly."

"I don't understand why you spoke so loudly back then. From where did you realize that Xue Liancheng couldn't keep 18+9+4? Who on earth bet your future on your courage?"

"Xue Liancheng, who is so unbearable in your eyes, slapped you hard, and buried your future by the way."

"Now Xue Liancheng's average data per game has reached 22+10+5, brother! Are you blind? You dare to bet on your own future in such an outrageous bet."

"The blood is cold!"

"Have you handed in your resignation letter? Why haven't you sent out a public apology tweet?"

"Don't pretend to be dead..."

Besides.

Many people have also flocked to Frank's Twitter.

"It's really a great courage to win."

"The vision is so vicious. You actually hit the mark. Xue Liancheng's average data per game is not only 18+9+4, but also far exceeds a level."

"22+10+5, tsk tsk... Xue Liancheng really didn't let you down."

"I've followed you since you said that Xue Liancheng is the Heat's third-biggest player. You really have a good eye."

"I can finally sleep peacefully."

"Frank, how are you feeling today? Tell me about your old friend Wen Horst, he should miss you."

Countless fans were teasing Frank.

But more fans were amazed by Frank's vision.

To know.

Many rookies have that kind of flash in the pan performance.

像比较出名是上赛季的11号秀迈卡威，第一场就轰下22分7篮板12助攻9抢断的超级数据，并带队击败了三巨头领衔的热火。

Countless people thought that this young man had a bright future.

Facts have also proved that this kid is really strong. In the first half, he averaged an astonishing 20+7+7+2.3 steals per game, and he played an amazing performance.

But in the second half, McAway was like eating shit, and his performance was a disaster.

By the end of the season, the data had dropped to 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists, and it was no longer as amazing as it was at the beginning.

Another example is Jennings, a rookie in the 09 class. In the seventh game of the opening game, he scored 55 points in a single game against the Warriors, becoming the youngest Mr. 50 points.

The performance in the first half was amazing enough, but by the end of the season, the average data per game was only 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals, which is completely different from the great momentum at the beginning of the season.

There are too many of these typical examples.

They were very fierce in the opening stage, but in December, they began to struggle. In January, they fell directly from the sky and shoveled the ground with their faces, which was extremely ugly.

The reason why this happens is not difficult to understand.

That's the so-called rookie wall.

Every talented player will explode on the spot when he first enters the league.

At that time.

Opponents still don't understand the player's offensive preferences and offensive choices, and they can't defend easily.

And after a period of time, as long as you become famous, you will definitely be thoroughly studied.

Especially in December and January, you will basically meet again with the teams you have played against.

They have a hand-to-hand experience, coupled with the study of your characteristics, they will quickly find out your weaknesses and flaws. Under the strict defense like an iron barrel, it will make you feel particularly uncomfortable. If you play efficiency and data, you will appear linear decrease.

This is where the rookie wall comes in.

And once you can't break through the rookie wall, there is a high probability that waiting for you will fall.

Or step up in the second season and prove yourself again.

Wenhorst dared to bet that Xue Liancheng would not be able to fight, and it was based on this.

An average of 18+9+4 per game is set high enough.

Since the rookie season, how many rookies can achieve such data?

Frontcourt players, especially inside players, can occasionally pop out one or two 20+10, like Brand and Griffin can reach such data.

But neither of them reached 18+9+4, because they couldn't get past the latter 4.

Not to mention backcourt players, especially point guards. Since the new century, no one has achieved the data of 18 points + 9 assists + 4 rebounds.

The closest Chris Paul is only 16.1 points, 7.8 assists and 5.1 rebounds.

Then there is Rose with 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds.

Then Damian Lillard had 19 points, 6.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds.

18+9+4?

so far...

None of the above-mentioned players averaged more than 9 assists per game.

Do not……

It was the beginning of the new century, and no one could average 9 assists per game in his rookie season.

上一个能在新秀赛季拿到这样的数据要追溯到95-96赛季，“小飞鼠”达蒙-斯塔德迈尔在第一个赛季就砍下19分9.3助攻4篮板，让人惊叹。

and so……

You can imagine how difficult it is to get such data in the rookie season.

This is why Wen Horst is so awesome.

He was sure that Xue Liancheng could not achieve such an achievement, and there were definitely traces to follow.

Besides.

Xue Liancheng's physical talent is really mediocre. It's hard for you to imagine that Xue Liancheng can maintain such a performance for a whole season.

result……

How the hell did it.

And not only did it, but exceeded everyone's expectations.

22+10+5!
It is simply historical level.

There is no doubt about this.

And other media are rushing to report on this gamble.

Among them, A-Smith tweeted: No one would have thought that Xue Liancheng could perform at such a historical level.

Tell the truth.

I did not expect that.

I also believe that most people, like me, would not have thought that Xue Liancheng was so powerful.

When Frank uttered Xue Liancheng's voice as the Heat's third giant, I even snorted.

Isn't this bullshit?

He has only played a few games, yet he has already been named a giant?
When did the name of a giant become so cheap?

At the time I thought Frank was killing this young man, I thought Frank was out of his mind.

It turns out.

Frank has more eyes than I do, and it's my head that's getting wet.

And when Xue Liancheng became more and more courageous in the battle, Frank pointed out that Xue Liancheng had gradually replaced LeBron James' position in the Heat.

At that time, when I saw such a compilation, I almost didn't laugh out loud.

Although I personally don't like LeBron very much, I must admit that James is extremely powerful and is the only one in the league.

Is it crazy to want to be compared with James after only a little achievement?
Although I still think that Xue Liancheng can't compare with James, but he is at least qualified to be on the chasing list.

Then came the bet between Frank and Windhorst.

At that time, I looked at this farce with the mentality of watching a drama.

But at the time, personally, I was more inclined to win for Windhorst.

18+9+4?

How difficult it is!
What kind of proud son of heaven can play at such a level?

Rose, Paul, Lillard, Westbrook, and even longer Francis, Iverson and others, which ones were not famous before entering the league.

None of them did.

And Xue Liancheng?

Before the draft, I hadn't even heard of such a No. [-] player. How could it be possible to achieve such results?
Even if Xue Liancheng performed well at the time, his passing and vision were recognized by me, and the data was maintained at 18+9+4, but I still have no confidence in him.

Yes.

No confidence at all.

result.

Xue Liancheng's performance gave me another slap in the face.

It was so surprising.

Entering January, especially in the recent period, Xue Liancheng has really played better and more steadily. He is like a superstar who has been fighting for many years. help.

22+10+5!
It is simply unimaginable.

An unknown rookie, in the first season, he played a historical level of performance, which really made me fall into a dream.

Everything seemed so unreal.

just now.

Looking back, I found that the person who knows Xue Liancheng best should be Frank.

All the words of praise he gave to Xue Liancheng were extremely precise.

I want to apologize to Frank and Xue Liancheng for my stupidity.

The last thing I want to say is: Xue Liancheng, come on, you conquered me.

……

A-Smith still has a lot of influence among NBA commentators, and he can be regarded as a big brother.

His compilation immediately caused a huge sensation.

"Yes, I didn't expect Xue Liancheng to be so awesome."

"When Frank boasted that Xue Liancheng was the third giant, I scolded Frank. I felt that Frank's exaggeration was too much. In the end... I was superficial."

"At the beginning of the bet, I thought Frank would lose. In my opinion, Xue Liancheng's breakthrough is at the level of 17+8+4."

"I thought so too. Xue Liancheng broke the assist record and raised his average assists per game all of a sudden. I'm not afraid to say it frankly. At that time, I thought he was only at the level of 16+7+3."

"That's right! I've been waiting for this rookie wall for a long time, just waiting to see the joke, now look at it... I'm the fucking joke."

"There is no rookie wall, and the performance is really too stable."

"Xue Liancheng's future is simply unpredictable."

"It doesn't matter if the scoring is stable, and the assists are also very stable. How did he manage to send out more than a dozen assists every game?"

"I probably thought of the stability of assists, because I have watched him in many games. His vision, passing, and ability to read the game are really too strong, but the stability of scoring is something I never expected."

"Me too... averaged 22 points per game! This kind of offensive ability is already at the level of a superstar, and he can even send out 10 assists. It's too strong."

Accompanied by a commotion.

Frank of FOX Sports, the protagonist, finally showed up: I was relieved to end the game two games ahead of schedule, but I always believed in my intuition. There is no doubt that Xue Liancheng will become a historical superstar...

There was no hoarse madness to vent, no hysterical carnival, and no clenched fists to punch Wenhorst who wanted to humiliate him.

The words are very flat, and the attitude is very peaceful.

But everyone felt Frank's joy, excitement, and an invisible force penetrating people's hearts.

As if roaring at the world: Let me just say, Xue Liancheng will definitely do it.

All doubts disappeared at this moment...

Xue Liancheng proved himself.

And he, with Xue Liancheng's performance, shattered all the abuse and doubts.

Feeling relieved, not only won the bet, but also released the pressure from the outside world.

At this time, countless fans lined up to apologize.

"Frank, I have to apologize to you, you are right."

"This is a professional journalist, responsible for his work, telling us the truth, but... all of us don't believe it."

"In this bet, you not only won Wen Horst, but also won the recognition of countless fans."

this night.

Frank's Twitter followers doubled.

In fact, this bet was not only won by Frank.

In fact, Xue Liancheng also won.

He has become a popular star in the league from an unknown rookie. Frank and other reporters have definitely made great contributions.

Even Wen Horst is a big contributor to creating traffic for him.

It is because of them who continue to give topics and make him active on major social media and in the league that he is now famous.

Now his traffic popularity is no less than that of Uncle Wadeway.

And he is just a rookie, what kind of existence is Uncle Wei?
The three-time championship winner and the top star in the league, even though his body has degraded now, he is still one of the few superstars in the league.

Popularity and popularity are definitely among the best in the NBA.

Now that he can be compared with Uncle Wei, one can imagine how popular he is now.

In addition to A-Smith's voice, Sports Illustrated and Yahoo Sports also frequently stand for Xue Liancheng. They have been creating heat for Xue Liancheng recently.

And they are all positive, and they are full of topical discussions.

For example, Xue Liancheng is the strongest rookie since the new century, which once caused a lot of heated discussions.

And actually...

At this point, most fans agree.

After all, 22 points + 10 assists + 5 rebounds, if it can't be called the strongest rookie since the new century, then... who else can be compared with it?
Anyway, it won't be James.

The data and efficiency of the two sides, and even the influence of the court, are not at the same level.

The only person who can break up with Xue Liancheng, if there is... then there is only one, and that is Blake Griffin.

But Griffin's data of 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists is completely different.

Because assists are much more valuable than rebounds.

If you get 10+ assists, you can basically compete for the assist king.

In terms of rebounds, about 13 or so, you can have a certain chance.

To put it more bluntly, rebounds are basically as long as you miss a shot in every round, there will definitely be rebounds, either you grab it or I grab it.

But assists are different. You need to feed the ball into the mouth of your teammates, and your teammates have to make a shot to generate an assist.

The difficulty is completely different.

and so……

Even though Griffin's 12.1 rebounds are higher than Xue Liancheng's 10.4 assists, but this 10+ is not a level at all.

Coupled with the fact that the Clippers were third from last that year, the team's record is not the same.

Xue Liancheng is known as the strongest rookie of the new century, and it is definitely not aimless.

It is worthy of the name.
