NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 323: After leaving Xue Liancheng, who are you?
Commentator: "Wang Defa... The defensive counterattack cooperation between Xue and Oladipo is really the same as last season's Heat."

Commentator: "Everyone thinks that Oladipo and Will Barton have similar statistics and equal value. Their exchange is more of an experiment, but now it seems that the Knicks want to copy the Heat last season. , and looking at Oladipo’s performance, they are likely to replicate the success.”

Host: "Then the Knicks will be quite scary this season."

The words fall.

The three of them looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.

How terrible is it?

Last season, without Gasol, the Heat relied on the backcourt coordination of Xue Liancheng and Wade to directly defeat the Golden State Warriors and win the championship.

If the Knicks replicate successfully, it doesn't mean that the Knicks will complete a true transformation this season and charge towards the championship.

The commentator paused for a moment and said, "Actually, it's hard to say yet. Although Oladipo has performed extremely well in recent games, I always feel that this is not the norm. I am familiar with the Knicks' offensive rhythm in other teams and understand Oladipo. The characteristics of Dipo will be explained later. The most important thing is that Oladipo has not been very stable since entering the league. He does not have the offensive ability and offensive deterrence of Dwyane Wade. Therefore, the effect of partnership should be far less than that of the Heat last season."

The host also nodded in agreement: "You are right. Oladipo may be particularly effective in cooperating with fast breaks and air cuts, but he has not yet reached the level of Dwyane Wade. Last season, Xue Liancheng did not have the ball. Running, positioning shooters are intimidating and occupying space, and the effect is extremely good, breaking the Warriors' double-teaming tactics. At that time, the ball carrier was Wade. The two of them pick-and-roll each other, which is a classic. This is due to Wade He has top-level ball-handling ability, but Oladipo is obviously not yet top-notch."

The commentator shook his head at this moment, "I don't think so."

The commentator and host were stunned at the same time and blurted out, "How do you say that?"

Commentator: "First of all, Xue Liancheng has become stronger and more unstoppable this season. His explosive scoring power is amazing, and his continuous shooting ability is frightening. Sometimes he can hit three three-pointers in a row. , or even 3 three-pointers, do you dare to think about it?"

"If this is not convincing enough, then I will list a set of convincing data. Xue Liancheng can hit at least 3 three-pointers in every game this season. His output is very stable and terrifying. Unlike Curry, he also has Xue Liancheng doesn’t have that bad touch of 10 out of 1.”

"And his three-point shots are very probabilistic. He didn't score much in the first quarter, so-so in the second quarter, but his touch improved in the third quarter, and he completely exploded in the fourth quarter. Why is he so strong at critical moments? It's because of his The explosive scoring power is so amazing, once the touch comes, I can’t stop him even if he comes, this is Xue Liancheng.”

"In addition to scoring, his ability to read the game, his entire game rhythm, and his overall view have all evolved. The data is not very obvious, and the number of assists has not increased much, but we can all feel that he faces the game. When I was playing, I became very calm, and easily got 10+ assists in one game, as if I got them all unconsciously."

heard.

The commentator and host both nodded slightly.

Everyone can feel this.

of course.

In fact, there is no need to feel it.

The data can be more intuitively reflected. Last season, Xue Liancheng averaged 23.1 points, 10.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. As of this season, Xue Liancheng averaged 29.6 points, 12.8 assists, 6.9 rebounds and 2 steals per game. His shooting efficiency did not decrease but increased, 53% + 48%. With a +97% shooting rate combination, the efficiency is as good as any other inside player.

Moreover, the data has improved across the board, with 6+ points scored, 2+ assists added, and rebounds increased by 1+. Both the efficiency and quality of three-pointers have also skyrocketed, from 2+ to 5+.

The most important thing is that there were two steals.

This is true total evolution.

This point is still very obvious and there is nothing to doubt.

The commentator continued, "This is just Xue Liancheng. Let me talk about Oladipo's advantages and disadvantages compared to Wade. First, let's talk about Oladipo's disadvantages, explosive power, speed, and breakthrough ability. He is definitely It's not as good as Wade, that's for sure. Even if Wade is affected by a knee injury, there are few people in the league who can compare with Wade in terms of speed, explosive power, and breakthrough ability. Wade's hard-hitting ability is still the best in the league. The presence."

"Oladipo's hard-hitting ability is currently not very bright. Although he has good singles ability, he is still far from the top level."

"However, Oladipo's speed, athletic ability, explosive power, and breakthrough ability are also among the best in the league. They are at an elite level. There is a gap between him and Wade, but it is definitely not as big as imagined, because Wade has another He's a year older and his knees are still bothering him."

"With Oladipo's current physical talent and personal ability, I think he is already capable of partnering with Xue Liancheng to play defensive counterattacks, fast breaks, assault coordination, air cuts and other tactics. In other words, I think he It’s enough to replace Wade’s tactical position.”

"Oladipo has three advantages. The first advantage is that he has a stable three-point shooting ability. He averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game this season. His shooting percentage has skyrocketed since he came to the Knicks. At 36.6%, his three-point threat is much greater than Wade's, which gives Xue Liancheng more options when picking and rolling with him."

"The second advantage is that Oladipo has devoted more energy to the defensive end, especially assisting defense and supplementary defense, and he has done a very good job."

"Third, Oladipo is younger, energetic, physically capable, and has no particularly serious injury risks. These are his assets and are better than Wade."

"So, I personally think that if the partnership between Oladipo and Xue Liancheng is not as good as last season's Heat, it is not far behind."

After the commentator finished speaking, the commentator and host fell silent.

But the fans in front of the TV exploded.

Knicks fans were naturally overjoyed.

Magic fans were furious.

I Nima...

After working on it for a long time, they actually acted like Lei Feng and made a selfless sacrifice, directly raising the Knicks' upper limit. The Oladipo sent over directly fulfilled the Knicks and allowed the Knicks to attack the championship.

In fact, they are very reluctant to believe the commentators' nonsense.

But after careful comparison, they found that it was really the same thing.

The partnership between Xue Liancheng and Oladipo does have the shadow of the Heat last season.

And the game goes on.

The Magic fans became more and more angry as they watched. Will Barton couldn't hit the ball and couldn't make the shot. He was wandering around the court like a loser. Some of them were so extreme that they even yelled in anger.

They don't care what the facts are.

Ok……

The fact is that Will Barton has become the key target of the Knicks tonight, and there is no shooting space at all.

In this kind of environment where the outside is blocked and the inside is blocked, if Will Barton can still perform, he really has the potential to become a superstar.

Because this is the hard solution ability.

Being able to double attack with two people and force a shot to hit a shot, if nothing else, makes him a solid All-Star.

And the result is.

Halftime passed, with 9 of 1 shots, only 4 points, and 6 turnovers. The performance was very bleak.

6 turnovers in the half. Such a performance is simply a crime.

in contrast.

Although Oladipo failed to continue to explode later, he did not stall out and scored a few points sparsely.

In addition, he did a very good job of containing Will Barton on the defensive end, giving people a bright feeling.

That's right.

Oladi stole Will Barton 4 times.

Will Barton has really become a point-giving kid.

This caused the Magic to fall behind by 51 points at halftime, 64:13.

You know, the other Magic players performed very well.

Vucevic made 10 of 7 shots and scored 16 points and 5 rebounds.

托比亚斯-哈里斯7中4，拿到了10分，弗莱5中3拿到了7分，替补出战的钱莫斯5中3，也拿到了7分。

Just these people got 40 points.

Add in Will Barton's 4 points, and it's 44 points.

Their overall efficiency, except for Will Barton, is very good.

And just like that, they were 13 points behind the Knicks. You can imagine how terrible Will Barton's performance was.

Magic fans were already choked up after hearing the endless explanations, but they were even more choked up when they saw Will Barton's decadent appearance.

Can you stop jumping?
They can only hope that Will Barton can come back to life in the second half, or at least score a few goals to prove themselves.

result.

They expect too much.

Will Barton took a shot in the third quarter, but it was still very bad, and the iron was banging.

In the fourth quarter, Magic head coach Skiles finally had enough and held Will Barton down.

I never expected it, but the effect was surprisingly good.

Vucevic teamed up with Harris to increase the score, especially Fournier, who was placed on the bench. He exploded in the last quarter and scored three three-pointers in a row, suddenly regaining the point difference.

In the end, it was Xue Liancheng who stood up to stabilize the morale of the army and used 100% hit skills to fight against him.

In addition, Oladipo is indeed not a vegetarian. He scored 5 points in a row with sudden shots from inside and outside, stabilizing the situation for the team.

Xue Liancheng saw this and was very excited.

What he wants is players to stand up and share the pressure for him at critical moments, otherwise, he will easily be unable to support himself.

Even three 100% hit skills are sometimes not enough.

Wade did this kind of job last season.

When the score was approaching, or when others were unable to score, Wade stood up time and time again to save the team's life.

The most important thing was to maintain the score, which led to Xue Liancheng's several kills and even near-wins.

Now, Oladipo has taken on this role, and he does have a good singles ability.certainly.

He doesn't expect Oladipo to stand up every time. He is very satisfied if he can stand up five times out of ten.

After all, he only had one 100% hit skill last season, and now, he has three 100% hit skills. He can support it, but only if his teammates give him a boost.

And Oladipo is the person he thinks he can be.

Coupled with Lopez's low post ability and his own low post ability, he feels that the Knicks' offensive firepower this season is definitely enough.

The decisive power at critical moments has also been significantly improved.

The final result of the game was no surprise.

The Magic lost this focus battle 107:116.

One of the focal points, Will Barton, sat on the bench in a daze throughout the fourth quarter.

全场13投2中，拿到了6分5篮板2助攻7失误的四单数据，可以毫不客气地讲，那真是惨不忍睹。

He was choked by Oladipo, and even blocked by the Knicks' active defense and flanking.

At this moment, he doesn't have the same air as he did at the start of the game. He looks like a wet bird, weak, helpless, sluggish, stupid...

And it's not over yet.

When he left the field, the audience gave Will Barton their attention and booed him earth-shatteringly.

Doesn’t it mean that you can achieve your current results and data by yourself?
Why are you beaten like a piece of shit?
Why did he hit 13 of 2 and make 7 turnovers?

"Just useless material..."

This was the last shout from the crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York to Will Barton.

in contrast.

奥拉迪波再次发挥出色，整体20投10中，三分6投2中，砍下27分4助攻6篮板，还有4抢断的数据。

It's still that top level.

Except for the efficiency drop, there are no other problems.

of course.

That's how it looks.

If we exclude Xue Liancheng's continuous bombardment, Oladipo's efficiency will appear very miserable.

But how is it possible to exclude it?
Oladipo's positioning is the end point, the arrow on the fast break, the serious team's main scorer.

Scoring is Oladipo's current task. He has fulfilled the task assigned to him by the team, and he has also lived up to the shells that Xue Liancheng fed to his mouth.

Without excluding it, Oladipo's [-]% shooting rate is still quite high.

As an outside player, this kind of efficiency is definitely above the standard and can be regarded as excellent.

The most striking point is that Oladipo took more shots than Xue Liancheng.

This is why Oladipo won't be picked on by Will Barton.

He takes more shots than the team leader, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about.

And at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, Xue Liancheng was willing to play with the ball for him, and he showed it.

He feels that there is no more comfortable position than now, as a pure scoring shooting guard.

Xue Liancheng took 18 shots and only hit 9 goals. In fact, his touch is not very good. In addition to his 100% hitting skills, the main reason is that Oladipo did share a lot of pressure and transfer for him. Some defensive attention allows him to distribute the ball more comfortably.

He scored 28 points, had 16 assists, and had 10 rebounds, another triple-double.

In addition to his average touch, his overall condition is still good. He can get into good positions, grab a lot of rebounds, and also provide a lot of assists.

Since Oladipo arrived, his assists have indeed been on the rise again.

After all, a powerful end point is a weapon for harvesting assists.

He had 10.8 assists last season, and Wade took a lot of the credit.

After his full evolution this season, the number of assists has only increased by 2. You must know that his style of play is mainly based on passing, prediction ability, mental image map, and the function of synchronizing the two, which is the highest increase in assists. of.

However, this number of assists is not ideal, mainly because there is no particularly outstanding end point.

Now the arrival of Oladipo has solved this problem.

Lopez was suppressed by Vucevic, making 13 of 6 shots and only scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds.

of course.

There is also the arrival of Oladipo, who shares a large part of the ball rights and important tactical position.

In the past, Xue Liancheng was more willing to play pick-and-rolls with Lopez, but now, he has begun to try to play pick-and-rolls with Oladipo.

In addition, after Oladipo came, the team's offensive rhythm accelerated again. Lopez sometimes failed to keep up, and the offensive round was over.

The data will definitely shrink a bit, there is nothing we can do about it.

Crowder had 13 points, Ilyasova had 10 points, David West had 8 points, Tyler Johnson had 8 points, and Galloway had 6 points.

The performance of these people also contributed to this victory.

Although they are role-oriented, role players are also divided into three, six and nine levels. The benches like the Knicks are considered to be very high-quality role players.

If you want to shoot three-pointers, there are those who want to shoot three-pointers.

We need authentic and traditional insiders, and we need authentic and traditional insiders.

There are those who do the dirty work.

There are also types that exploit every possible opportunity.

The functions are very complete. PJ Tucker and Jeff Green did not play in this game, but the team's rotation was not greatly affected.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the depth of the lineup.

The main thing depends on the running-in and chemical reaction between Xue Liancheng and Oladipo. They can completely transfer the Heat's tactics from last season and exert [-]% to [-]% of their combat effectiveness.

So……

The Knicks can imagine not only this season, but also the future.

Magic here.

Vucevic made 19 of 13 shots and scored 26 points and 9 rebounds. The result still failed to stop the Magic's decline.

Harris also performed well in this game, scoring 14 points on 7 of 20 shots.

Fournier also made 14 of 7 shots and scored 18 points.

Channing Frye made 8 of 5 shots and scored 11 points.

Chalmers made 8 of 5 shots and scored 11 points.

Others scored some points here and there, but overall, only Will Barton stretched his crotch so much that they were all helpless.

after the game.

Will Barton was instantly flooded with saliva.

"After leaving Xue Liancheng, who are you?" 》

Frank from "FOX Sports" jumped out and bombarded him mercilessly, pointing the finger directly at Will Barton.

There is no way not to be angry.

He was building momentum for Xue Liancheng and didn't say anything about Will Barton.

As a result, Will Barton jumped out and slapped him in the face, saying that he had to rely on himself...

nah...

Now I hit the iron by myself until the rim is crooked.

of course.

The most important thing is the comparison. Oladipo, who was replaced, scored 27 points, with a shooting percentage of over [-]%. His statistics were beautiful and his performance was extremely eye-catching.

Compared with a loser like you, everything is clear at a glance.

Without Xue Liancheng, I just can't do it.

And when Oladipo came to Xue Liancheng, he was a cow.

Isn't this enough to prove that Xue Liancheng can make his teammates better?
Pure and ironclad evidence...
