NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 228 Best rookie, further evolution of skills
After the end of the second game between the Heat and the Celtics, the situation of the series in each group has also changed.

The Bulls defeated the Raptors again and tied the big score to 2:0. At present, the Bulls have a high probability of becoming the opponent of the Heat in the second round.

The Warriors also beat the Pelicans again with 97:87, and the big score also became 2:0. Golden State's firepower was hindered, but in terms of hard power, it was still a level higher than the Pelicans.

A surprising series appeared. The Cleveland Cavaliers overturned at home and lost to the Wizards 99:117. The score was tied at 1:1.

The Rockets beat the Lone Ranger again with 111:99, and the big score also became 2:0.

The Eagles also beat the Bucks twice with 96:91, and the big score became 2:0.

The Spurs defeated the Blazers again at 97:82. The strength of the defending champion should not be underestimated, and the big score also became 2:0.

The Grizzlies narrowly beat the Clippers 111:107 and regained the home court advantage. The big score became 1:1. Without Bosh, they are still very tough.

And the protagonist of this night undoubtedly became James.

wrong……

It's the whole team of knights.

It was Love who made 8 of 3 shots.

It was JR-Smith who made 11 of 3 shots.

Shumpert was 6 for 1.

It was TT-Thompson who made 6 of 2 shots.

They also enjoyed the treatment of Xue Liancheng, were named and criticized by major media, and were frantically abused by fans.

As for James?
He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 30 assists on 9 of 7 shots. Regardless of the shooting percentage or various statistics, his performance in all aspects was perfect. Why should he be scolded?

And Owen?
虽然19投8中命中率不怎么样，但26分6助攻5篮板的数据，也无可挑剔。

The performance of the two of them has nothing to criticize at all.

If criticism must be made, it can only be due to lack of leadership, but these voices are very small.

The two masters are fine...

But it seems a bit inappropriate to let the role players take the blame.

So……

Guo Fu was undoubtedly pushed to the stage of beheading.

In this game, Love must take the blame.

The third giant, you made 8 of 3 shots, what a mess!
And coach Blatter can't escape.

Let the Wizards score 117 points, how do you become a coach?How did you arrange the defensive tactics?

Anyway, tonight.

The two experienced a bloody storm.

And when the outside world is in a bloodbath, the award for the best rookie has been announced.

There are no surprises.

Xue Liancheng was successfully elected.

But he won the best rookie award, but it didn't make much waves.

The reason is naturally that there is no suspense in this award, coupled with the Cavaliers' upset defeat, it has attracted all the attention.

Just when the award was officially announced, Xue Liancheng heard that familiar yet unfamiliar cold voice as he wished.

[Reminder]: Unlock the honor of the best rookie, and predict the future evolution success.

Xue Liancheng was not too excited this time.

Because this is also expected.

After the eyes were blurred, the publishing page appeared in my mind again.

The other three skills have not changed.

The ability to predict the future has changed from 0.3 seconds to 0.6 seconds.

In addition, [Honor Level] finally changed, from 1 to 2.

There is also a line of fine print below: All-Star, Best Rookie.

The predictive ability has evolved from 0.3 seconds to 0.6 seconds, which is a huge change.

Whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, it has really achieved a qualitative improvement.

The ultimate reaction time of athletes is about 0.3 seconds.

Especially for players with outstanding physical fitness and strong mental attributes, their reflexes are obviously faster than others.

Xue Liancheng has a 0.3-second predictive ability, which can be regarded as the top existence of athletes.

But now, his predictive ability abruptly broke through the limit and was raised to 0.6 seconds.

It is conceivable how obvious this improvement is.

With this anticipation ability, he can truly make accurate anticipation of the opponent's pass selection, breakthrough action, and starting route on the defensive end.

This will undoubtedly allow him to react in advance and make defensive actions. Whether it is standing, stealing, or interference, his defensive effect will be qualitatively improved compared to the 0.3-second predictive ability.

When he predicted it in 0.3 seconds, he just reacted faster.

But now, he can react and make corresponding actions at the same time.

This is the difference.

In other words, the 0.6-second prediction ability is enough to make up for the gaps in his physical talents such as slow lateral movement, slow speed, low jump, short wingspan, and weak explosive power.
He believes that the 0.6-second predictive ability can already help him be promoted to an elite defensive player.

Although it may be far from reaching the top level, it is more than enough to deal with most players on the field.

At least it won't be a defensive colander anymore.

Making up for this shortcoming will definitely raise his overall strength to a higher level.

The improvement is not insignificant.

And the 0.6-second predictive ability will improve the offensive end even more.

First, improve assist ability.

The 0.3-second predictive ability has already allowed him to predict the position of his teammates or the position of the defender faster.

So now, this ability will continue to be promoted to a level.

Or to be more precise, it is a level above the top.

His ability to read the game and perceive opportunities will become more mature.

When he predicted in 0.3 seconds, he only formed a preliminary prediction, and he had to make a judgment based on the dynamic picture in his mind.

But now, the predictive ability has been fully formed, coupled with the dynamic picture in his mind, he is now more confident about many passes that seemed risky before.

A lot of unconstrained passes, he can now try to try.

This was something that was unthinkable before.

Second, it makes shooting feel more accurate.

When he predicts in 0.3 seconds, once he makes a shot, he can actually draw a conclusion on whether the ball can be scored or not based on the arc of the ball.

Then when it is increased to 0.6 seconds, the arc of the ball will be close to the basket.

He can predict more accurately whether the goal can be scored.

can enter?

Then everything will be fine, and it will be easy to celebrate in advance.

Can't enter?
He can also block early, or return to defense early.

This help is also obvious.

This means that he can already be one step ahead.

The same is true for predicting other people's shots.

Third, the breakthrough ability has been greatly improved.

At 0.3 seconds, his ability to change rhythm has improved by leaps and bounds.

Now with 0.6 prediction ability, his prediction ability has fully doubled, allowing him to react in advance and make actions according to the defensive player's center of gravity shift.

at this point.

It was not possible before.

This promotion allowed him to get rid of his abilities and directly step up to a new level.

Even if his speed is not fast, he can use his predictive ability to smoothly break into the basket.

And after reaching the basket, he can also use his anticipation ability to find a more favorable shooting space, or it is easier to grasp the timing of passing the ball.

Third and fourth, his ability to touch porcelain is also a qualitative leap.

prior to.

His touching of porcelain was somewhat deliberate.

Now, he can make opponents unreasonable.

Fifth, his footwork can also be more flexible.

This makes him more capable of finishing around the rim.

When predicted in 0.3 seconds, his movement of shaking the defensive player may not be so realistic.

So now, he can completely confuse the fake with the real one.

You thought I was shaking, but in fact I voted.

You think I'm shooting, but in the process, I can completely change into a fake action.

True and false, the combination of true and false makes his footsteps smoother.

of course.

The improvement of the 0.6-second prediction ability is in all aspects, such as positioning, whether the opponent's player or one's own player can make a shot, judging the rebounding point, observing the situation on the court, etc., all have a certain improvement.

The promotion of the golden thigh at this time can be described as timely rain.

Although his performance has rebounded in the second game with the Celtics.

But in fact, he just grasped Thomas' defensive weakness, and his touch is really super good.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, and picks from the basket can all be made.

if not.

He could still face embarrassment.

He clearly felt that he had entered a bottleneck period, and he was very, very reluctant to maintain his super performance in the regular season in such a high-intensity game as the playoffs.

Even after passing the Celtics, in the second round, he still wanted to maintain 23+10+5, which was still as difficult as ever.

it's good now.

His predictive ability has evolved again.

but……

This is far from enough. The predictive ability only improves his overall feeling of the game, but it is still not so obvious when it is implemented to a certain point.

For example, three points.

For example, the middle distance.

For example, against layups.

Although the ability to predict can also bring positive effects, but in fact there is no real improvement.

The hand feeling has limitations, and it cannot be improved if you predict it.

The only thing they can count on is the regular season MVP award.

For now, the chances are still relatively large.

If you can improve the hit skill by 100%, it is indeed a qualitative leap.

I was thinking so.

Sudden.

The cold voice in my mind sounded again.

[Reminder]: Unlock the honor of the assist king successfully, and the evolution of the three-point shooting rate bonus without occlusion and contact is successful.

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment.

then.

The whole person was in a trance.

what's the situation?
Hasn't the assist king been determined a long time ago?
At that time, he thought that this honor had no real effect, and he secretly felt sad for a while.

result.

This is such an unexpected surprise!

He didn't have time to think about the reason, and after his eyes were blurred again, the publication page reappeared in his mind.

The predictive ability is fixed at 0.6 seconds.

The other two skills have not changed.

The three-point bonus ability without occlusion and contact has changed from the original 10% to 15%.

In addition, [Honor Level] finally changed, from 2 to 3.

There is also a line of fine print below: All-Star, Best Rookie, Assist King.

This skill belongs to the bonus of open shooting, which only increases by 5%, and it seems that there is no substantial change.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!
This is equivalent to, as long as he has an open opportunity, his shooting percentage is 15%. In addition, his own shooting is not bad, and his shooting percentage still gets a certain increase, which can help him stabilize his efficiency.

It can come in handy especially when he encounters an early flank and frantically presses.

Because in this case, he can only play off the ball.

And in the off-ball state, he can increase offensive firepower and output stably, which is too important.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if he doesn't get many open shots.

That's also an improvement for his free throws.

Now he's shooting 93 percent from the free-throw line. How did it come about?

Isn't it just the bonus to the open shooting rate?
It turns out that his free throw percentage is more than 80 points, which is actually quite high.

But under the effect of the 10% hit rate bonus, it abruptly increased to 93%.

Now it continues to add 15% to his original free throw percentage. This improvement is still very significant.

At least his free throws won't be missed so easily.

What if the hit rate is increased to 20% or 30%?
Not to mention 100%, that is also a sure thing.

This is also an improvement in scoring methods.

There is no reason not to be happy.

After he calmed down.

The doubt came back to his mind.

Why was the assist king confirmed at the end of the season, but the golden thigh didn't respond at all, and now it pops up instead.

Think about it.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The implementation of the assist king honor follows the best rookie?
So……

Are the two related?
Thinking of this, he opened the official NBA website, and soon he found the answer.

original……

The NBA made posters of major statistics and hung them on the homepage.

The leader in scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, everyone has their own custom posters.

In other words, everything is subject to the official announcement.

Nima's...

Xue Liancheng thought about it in his heart, but his eyes involuntarily fixed on the king of steals.

Do you want to fight for this honor next season?
but……

The difficulty is still relatively large.

This season, he averaged only 1 steal per game, and he had a chance to succeed in stealing only by relying on his predictive ability.

After all, his physical talent is a bit weaker, his wingspan is short, his starting speed is slow, and his explosive power is insufficient. If you only have predictions, your hardware can't keep up!

Ok……

Scoring champion?
Don't even think about it.

Next season, if he remembers correctly, his scoring average will increase to 30+. With his ability, is there really a chance to reach it?

Somewhat slim...

Rebound king?Block king?
Then I dare not even think about it.

With anticipation and blocking, how can he compare to those seven-footers, unless there is a selfless insider like Adams who helps him block and grab rebounds, and his teammates can't compete with him. He only picks up rebounds in the backcourt .

but……

Still difficult.

An average of 15 per game!

How can it be so easy to grab.

OK……

……

……

The third battle came as promised.

Xue Liancheng, who had successfully upgraded his skills, became ferocious and violent like a beast breaking free from an iron cage.

Coupled with Thomas' weakness, Stevens never found a solution, and was held tightly by Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng was really like a god descending from the earth, and directly silenced the entire TD North Shore Garden.

Check in the same three quarters.

But his data has become more luxurious.

18投12中，32分14助攻9篮板的准三双数据，直接把TD北岸花园变成了一片死海。

The final score was 109:81.

The Celtics were directly pressed to the ground, rubbing back and forth.

The combination of Gasol and Ibaka finally exerted the effect of protecting the frame, allowing the Celtics to score only 81 points.

Thomas Jr., in particular, was restricted miserably. He made 22 of 6 shots and only scored 14 points. He completely lost the magic of the previous two games.

Wade's efficiency also dropped significantly in this game, making 18 of 6 shots and only scoring 18 points.

Gasol Jr. was also average, making 14 of 5 shots and only 13 points.

And even with these two cores in such a sluggish situation, they still defeated the Celtics in three quarters, and Xue Liancheng's dominance was finally perfectly reflected.

The big score also became 3:0.

The Celtics are already hanging by a thread.

after the game.

The major media have finally been conquered.

"Xue Liancheng showed MVP-level dominance and defeated the Celtics in three quarters"

"Xue Liancheng's rhetoric is about to come true, really sweeping Boston"

"Who Can Stop Xue Liancheng? "

"Three quarters with 32 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds, Xue Liancheng under the rage told the world: This is the MVP"

"The other two of the Big Three did not perform well, Xue Liancheng slashed the quasi-double and three protectors"

"Directly flatten Boston, Xue Liancheng is about to reach the top of the new MVP"

It only took Xue Liancheng three games to make many media go from crazy criticism at the beginning to complete worship.

The speed of the conversion is simply unbelievable.

And countless fans have to marvel at Xue Liancheng's strength.

No one dared to force Lai Lai anymore.

Everyone thinks that Xue Liancheng is worthy of this season's MVP.

The most obvious is the generals of the Celtics, who said in an interview: They will definitely go all out to win a game and save face.

That's right.

Just saying try to win the next one.

How dare you mention that you want to slap Xue Liancheng in the face, turn over the heat and impress the whole world, and so on.

of course.

No one believes such nonsense.

They didn't even dare to say it themselves.

Isn't this the same as being completely defeated and becoming a veritable mourning soldier?

I don't even have the courage to speak up.

Fourth battle.

Sure enough, the Celtics fought back fiercely, biting Xue Liancheng fiercely.

This time they stalemate until the third quarter.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, after Xue Liancheng came on the field, he directly led the team and played a wave of 18:3 attacks, and the point difference widened to 20+ again.

Crash in place.

The series ended prematurely.

The result was no surprise.

The Heat completed a sweep of the Celtics with 103:87.

Xue Liancheng scored 30 points again, and also had 13 assists and 8 rebounds, also a quasi-triple double.

but……

This time he was not so violent, and his efficiency also declined under the bite of the Celtics.

20 for 11...

Even if it is a decline, it is still a 55% hit rate.

It can be seen how obvious Xue Liancheng is in the matchup advantage. Looking at a gap, he can free his hand and press the Celtics on the ground to trample on them wantonly.

Wade's efficiency is still a problem, 20 of 7 shots, only got 16 points.

Instead, Gasol finally stood up, scoring 13 points and 8 rebounds on 20 of 10 shots.

On top of that, the guy hit 2 threes.

During this period of time, the effect of strengthening training was gradually reflected.

Thomas Jr. turned off again and scored 14 points on 4 of 10 shots. He was so busy making three-pointers outside that he couldn't rush in at all.

in this way.

The heat's first round of battle has finally come to an end.

Miami lived up to expectations and successfully swept Boston, which was on the verge of entering the playoffs.

The strength gap between the two sides is very different.

After four games, the Celtics lost a total of 80 points, averaging 20 points per game.

The lowest point difference is 15 points in the first game.

Really helpless...
