NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 354 Super data!

Commentator: "Oh my God! Two consecutive hits. Xue Liancheng's scoring ability at critical moments has absolutely no rival in the league, absolutely no..."

The host also marveled again and again, "It's really strong! He voted against you, but there was nothing you could do..."

The commentator smacked his mouth and couldn't make any sound: "..."

Xue Liancheng stepped to the free throw line and made a solid hit with the extra penalty.

The point difference returned to 2 points.

And the time is only 31 seconds left.

Xue Liancheng looked back at Durant at this time, with a half-smile on his lips and meaningful eyes.

Durant didn't seem to see it, and prepared to catch the ball with a sullen face.

At this time, Donovan chose to call a timeout.

Trailing by 2 points and 31 seconds, there are still many options to choose from.

For example, if you use a three-point tactic and make a successful shot, you can gain the lead and seize the opportunity.

For example, scoring two points has a relatively high success rate and is relatively safe. As long as the score is scored, it will be a tie, which is also a good choice.

Another example is to play one quickly, because there are still 31 seconds left, usually two rounds, but as long as you play one quickly, no matter whether you make it or not, there will be another offensive round next, which means it is divided into three rounds. If you take two, it means you have the initiative.

Another example is how to use foul tactics when you can't score, and how to use foul tactics to gain greater benefits for your own side.

So many choices.

and so……

It was still necessary for Donovan to choose to call a timeout at this time.

It's also a smart move.

As for the Knicks, they don't have that much to think about.

After all, they were the ones who took the lead, and they were firmly in control of the situation. As long as they didn't make mistakes, they could remain unchanged in response to any changes.

In fact it is.

At the beginning, Director Lu emphasized, "Next, we cannot make any mistakes. We must seize this advantage, defend against this attack with all our strength, and then make plans."

It would be easy if the Thunder didn't score in the next attack.

As long as they don't make outrageous mistakes, they basically have victory in their pocket.

And if the Thunder score, then they need to re-plan their tactics to see how to make it easier for Xue Liancheng to catch the ball and complete this final attack.

of course.

Now is not the time to think about this, but to defend this ball with all our strength.

Pause.

Director Lu looked at Xue Liancheng again, the inquiry in his eyes was very clear: Do you have anything to add?

Xue Liancheng thought for a moment, "Whether this ball is defended or not, remember to give the ball to me in the end, and I will solve the battle."

This sentence was like a reassurance, making everyone feel at ease.

Even including Director Lu and Lopez.

As the head coach, Director Lu no longer has to worry about arranging tactics or worrying about who should take the last shot. The pressure on him is really relieved!

After all, once someone else is arranged to take the final shot, if the shot fails, then he, the head coach, will be blamed and will be criticized.

If Xue Liancheng came to perform the shot, he would not have this trouble.

Because Xue Liancheng is a superstar, regardless of whether the shot is made or not, the focus is on Xue Liancheng.

Or to be more precise, if the shot went in, it means that he, the head coach, arranged it properly, trusted his generals, and was very courageous.

And if it doesn't go in, it's none of my business.

In fact, it really has nothing to do with Director Lu.

Because no one will pay attention to the head coach, the media reporters and fans will only stare at Xue Liancheng.

Same goes for Lopez...

Although he is also the main core player of the Knicks, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is here to assist Xue Liancheng.

If he was forced to take the last shot, he would indeed be terrified.

Fear of the unknown, fear of taking on responsibilities, and fear of one’s own abilities.

After all, execute the final attack!

If you don’t have any work on your hands, then not everyone can remain confident.

In this game, Lopez was already made uncomfortable by Whiteside and Adams. He had no confidence and average efficiency. It would be really difficult for him to decide the life and death of the team at this time.

and so……

Now that he heard Xue Liancheng taking the responsibility, Lopez was really relieved!

Others looked at Xue Liancheng with absolute reverence.

As the head of the team, Xue Liancheng stepped forward without hesitation. This is the responsibility of a leader and plays a stabilizing role in the team.

It felt as if there was a backer behind them, and they didn't need to worry about any problems they encountered.

The game quickly resumed.

Players from both sides play.

Adams comes to serve.

Westbrook is holding the ball, while Durant is directly stuck at a 45-degree angle.

Everyone knows that the ball is either given to Durant or Westbrook.

The result was no surprise.

Durant catches the ball.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and shot.

PJ Tucker is still experienced. He only reaches out and approaches without jumping.

In fact, Durant really wanted to click on PJ Tucker, but found that PJ Tucker was not fooled, so he turned around and passed him directly.

But Lopez, Claude, and Xue Liancheng were all there, so there was no room to move forward.

Because the Thunder's lineup actually has no shooting ability, they can naturally shrink the space unscrupulously.

This resulted in a situation where Durant was still unable to make any progress after passing PJ Tucker.

The end result is.

Strong shot.

From catching the ball, clicking, then turning around to pass, and taking off to make a strong shot, it is almost done in one go.

It only takes 4 seconds.

It may be that the physical confrontation is too intense, it may be that PJ Tucker and Crowder are too tightly clamped in front and back and there is no room to take action, or it may be due to Durant's own physical problem.

Anyway, the ball is crooked.

The Knicks, on the other hand, dominated the basket and successfully collected the rebounds.

Then hand it over to Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng was not in a hurry.

The last 26 seconds.

The Knicks led by 2 points.

What is he in a hurry?

He is not in a hurry...

And Thunder can't wait any longer.

They tried to use pressing tactics to steal the ball, but the Knicks were one big and four small!

Xue Liancheng, Tyler Johnson, and Crowder can all hold the ball and protect the ball.

It's fast and maneuverable.

At last.

The Thunder could only give up their pressing tactics.

Because the attack time is 24 seconds, as long as they defend the ball, there will be more than 2 seconds left.

This time is enough for them to give their opponents a fatal blow.

Therefore, they did not dare to push too hard. After all, if they were called for a foul, it would really be their own fate.

At last.

Xue Liancheng was still standing near the center circle, holding the ball and watching the time pass.

Others have shrunk to the corners on both sides.

Here in the middle circle.

As for Xue Liancheng and Durant, the two stood there alone, looking quite deserted.

That's right.

This time it was replaced by Durant to defend.

After all, given his height and wingspan, Durant obviously has an advantage in defending three-pointers.

Xue Liancheng hasn't said anything yet.

Durant spoke first, "Aren't you very capable? Known as the strongest three-point shooter, I'm looking forward to you shooting a three-pointer over my head."

Logically speaking, most players would not do this.

Because the leading team is the Knicks!

They hold a 2-point lead and are still on the offensive side. They must have a success rate to kill the game.

How is it possible to shoot a three-pointer?

Durant was so provocative because he deliberately angered Xue Liancheng and made Xue Liancheng go on the wrong path.

at this point.

How could Xue Liancheng not know this clearly?

However, he was not angry, he just smiled, "Hey...if I hit a three-pointer above your head, wouldn't you be so happy and lose face?"

Durant sneered: "Ha...do you have the ability?"

Xue Liancheng: "Okay, as you wish."

Durant's face was calm, but deep down he was ecstatic, "I'm not looking down on you, but if you shoot a three-pointer in front of me, I will treat you to a huge blood cap."

The small pride that the conspiracy succeeded is beyond words...

Everyone knows that the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage.

It is well known that Xue Liancheng's three-point shooting is very strong, ridiculously strong.

but.

What they have to do is still drive Xue Liancheng away from the paint area.

in this way……

Only then can they have a chance.

Coupled with Durant's height and wingspan, and his wide coverage, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most suitable for defending three-pointers.

Now seeing that Xue Liancheng was fooled, how could he not be happy?

And time is passing bit by bit.

Commentator: "The Thunder's strategy is actually right. Hit one quickly first, and then defend the next ball with all their strength. Then their chances will be infinitely magnified. If Durant had scored the ball just now, the Thunder would not be like now. So passive."

Host: "That's true. So, Durant is now leading the defense against Xue Liancheng to redeem himself..."

Commentator: "I believe Durant..."

But the words have not yet fallen.

Xue Liancheng started.

Although there is a height difference between the two, Xue Liancheng can still press Durant forward, but it is not so easy.

We haven't reached the top of the arc yet. Westbrook rushed up, looking like he was attacking from a double flank.

In fact, Xue Liancheng knew all this.

Are you really flanking?

Or are you just pretending to scare people?

It showed very clearly in his mind.

and so……

He was not moved at all. When it was time to dribble from behind to adjust the rhythm, he did so anyway.

And attack time.

There are 4 seconds left.

Xue Liancheng no longer hesitated and bent directly to attack.

Pressed inside the three-point line.

While Durant was holding on, he cursed in his heart: Big liar! We promised to shoot a three-pointer, but you actually came in. You really don't follow martial ethics...

And the idea just came up.

Xue Liancheng suddenly pulled back again.

then.

Bend your knees.

Raise your hand.

Durant was also prepared. When he saw Xue Liancheng combine the ball, he just straightened his hands and pushed his body forward without jumping at all.

And Xue Liancheng didn't care about this anymore.

Just force it out.

The ball flew out from the fingertips and drew an exaggerated arc.

Everyone's eyes fell on the ball, and they subconsciously held their breath, including Durant.

at this time.

He couldn't help but turn around and stare at the rolling ball.

After Xue Liancheng took action, he raised his head and raised his hands as if he was receiving homage.

The big screen also locked onto Xue Liancheng at this time.

Seriously...

Xue Liancheng's early celebration was really arrogant.

The commentator couldn't stand it anymore, "Does Xue think he must enter? He started celebrating now, it's really..."

The voice did not fall.

Swish!

All the narrator's words were immediately choked in his throat.

The commentator jumped up, "Oh my god! In, three consecutive hits, Xue Liancheng killed the game again."

Host: "What does it mean to be unstoppable? This is it! From the Cavaliers to the Warriors, from the Heat to the Spurs, from the Spurs to the Thunder now, this season's top powerhouse, Xue Liancheng led his team to defeat them all the way. The horse is really too powerful."

That's right!

After this goal.

The Knicks have led by 5 points.

There are still 2.8 seconds left.

In this situation, even the arrival of the Great Luo Immortal could not save it.

Xue Liancheng's goal really killed the game.

On the court, Durant stood there in a daze for a long time, motionless.

He really couldn't believe that Xue Liancheng could still enter?

Before……

All media reporters and rumors are spreading that Xue Liancheng is the key king in the league.

Seriously...

Durant, who is also a superstar, is very unconvinced. He believes that his key abilities have been seriously underestimated.

In other words, the Xue Liancheng that people tout is seriously overestimated.

Is it really that divine?

he doesn't believe...

Or rather, I don’t accept it…

Until now, Xue Liancheng's three consecutive attacks had directly defeated him.

I really don’t even give you a breath!

I'm cumming in front of you, but you can't do anything about it.

That feeling of helplessness, despair, and weakness suddenly burst out at this moment, occupying his entire heart.

Until Xue Liancheng's voice came: "Tell me, who is the loser."

Only then did Durant come back to his senses. His empty eyes suddenly regained color and became firmer, "See you on the finals stage..."

Then he turned around and ran upfield.

Xue Liancheng burst into laughter, he was indeed the king of words!

His face was not red, and his heart was not beating. It seemed that what he just said was like a fart, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Only with this psychological quality can one surf the Internet freely.

If it had been replaced with another glass core, it would probably have broken the explosion protection long ago.

of course.

Maybe now Durant also explodes.

Xue Liancheng looked at Durant's anxious figure and thought...

Look back.

Westbrook hurriedly brought the ball over and completed the final outrageous three-point shot.

Ok……

Three no-sticks.

However, it is still worthy of recognition.

Knowing that it would be useless to make a shot, knowing that it would be impossible to be accurate in a hasty shot, Westbrook still shot a three-pointer.

This can be regarded as preserving hope, the last struggle before death.

The attitude in this game is very good.

Unlike some people who take the ball and rush for two points.

finally.

The score was fixed at 143:138. The Knicks relied on Xue Liancheng's last three consecutive hits to successfully retain the fruits of victory.

And this score is also very exaggerated, with a total of 281 points. It is still very rare without overtime.

In fact, in the third quarter, the rhythm had slowed down, and the scores of both sides were not high.

But in the fourth quarter, the two sides went back and forth, and the fight was so intense.

Xue Liancheng scored a super triple-double of 42 points, 24 assists and 10 rebounds, becoming the number one contributor to winning the game.

40+20+10 is also a new record, becoming one of the few super series in the database.

Scoring 40 points is already difficult for a player.

Sending 20 assists is equally not easy for a player, even more difficult than scoring 40+ points.

On the premise of scoring 40 points, he also sent 20 assists, which is really difficult.

And on the basis of 40 points and 20 assists, there are also 10 rebounds, which is hard to achieve.

If you have 40 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists, someone can still do it. Chamberlain has such a record.

Only Xue Liancheng achieved 40 points, 20 assists and 10 rebounds, which can be regarded as a historical miracle.

Lopez had a smooth start to the game, but then gradually fell behind in the battle with Whiteside. He only hit 19 goals in 9 shots and scored only 21 points.

After scoring 14 points in the first half, they scored 10 of 3 in the second half and only scored 7 points, and one of the goals was fed by Xue Liancheng in the fourth quarter.

It can be said to be quite unsatisfactory.

Tyler Johnson scored 20 points, Vonleh was able to score 18 points even if he was injured, Crowder scored 14 points, and Galloway scored 14 points.

The performance of the role players was still great.

They reaped the benefits of a lot of fast-break rhythm.

Thunder here.

Durant made 27 of 13 shots, 9 of 5 three-pointers, scored 44 points, plus 14 rebounds and 5 assists. He really tried his best.

You can't blame Durant for not hitting the ball at the last minute.

after all……

The last bullet has been fired. I guess I exerted too much force in the fourth quarter, constantly breaking through and killing, and my physical fitness exceeded the standard.

But having said that, if Durant hadn't gone crazy in the fourth quarter, they wouldn't have qualified for the final contest.

威斯布鲁克同样是尽力局，30投15中，狂揽40分8篮板10助攻的超级数据。

Although the third quarter was sluggish, losing oneself for a time, and performing various war crimes, but without Westbrook's output, the Thunder would probably have collapsed at halftime. What would happen after that?

However, 7 mistakes are indeed a bit too much.

But no matter what, both Thunder Young Masters really tried their best.

At the same time, they scored 40+10+5, which is very rare in history. They still lost, so who can blame them?

No one is to blame.

They both played superstar statistics and kept the team's hopes of victory alive.

If we must blame it, it can only be blamed on them encountering a more powerful monster.

Besides.

Whiteside scored 19 points and 17 rebounds, which can be regarded as the performance of the third core, but he failed to play an absolute role.

Other role players are relatively average.

Waiters had 10 points, Cameron Payne had 10 points, Adams had 9 points, Singler had 3 points, and Morrow had 3 points.

The current problem of the Thunder is still obvious, the lineup is not deep enough.

This leaves them with only two superstars to rely on in high-intensity games, which will lead to a serious problem.

The two superstars consume too much physical energy, so it is easy for them to fall off the chain.

Especially when encountering a team with very strong scoring power, they can easily be overturned.

but.

This problem is not easy to solve.

In other words, it cannot be solved at all.

After all, every team's valuable players will not be taken out easily. Even if they want to be traded, they must be of equal value.

As for those that can be traded, those that have more or less obvious shortcomings depend on whether they are suitable for you and whether you can maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Thomas and the Celtics are a successful case.
