NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 382 Find the problem!

After the game.

The Knicks all took a beating on social media.

There is no doubt about this.

Because the defeat was too complete.

From beginning to end, there was no resistance at all.

That's it?

Still threatening to compete for the championship?

That's it?

He also forced Lai Lai to talk about his top-ranking style...

Media reporters and fans really couldn't accept such a defeat.

The first to bear the brunt was Oladipo, who scored 18 points on 6 of 14 shots, with a shooting rate of 33.3%. It is difficult not to be criticized for such efficiency.

As the team's offensive arrow, you cannot provide firepower support, so what is your role?

If the team wins, then everything is fine. The problem is that the team loses to the Raptors for no reason, and the fans will naturally hate you.

This is a desperate playoff game!

In a best-of-seven game, your room for error can be said to be minimal.

Now that he received this blow in the first game, the fans have absolutely reason to be angry.

Next is Feng Lai.

In this game, his performance was equally bad. He made 10 of 3 shots and only scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 turnovers. The poor efficiency was on the one hand, but this guy also had buttery hands.

There is no doubt that Feng Lai played a negative role in this game, or to put it bluntly, he was an undercover agent.

The fans' comments are also very unpleasant to listen to.

"Without Xue Liancheng, you are just a piece of shit."

"Such behavior can lead to immediate detention."

"Pure waste..."

"You are good at adding icing on the cake. When the team needs you, you have no effect other than stretching your hips."

"No wonder you always can't do magic tricks. It turns out you've always been such a loser!"

The third person to be scolded was Tyronn Lue.

As the head coach of the team, if there are problems of one kind or another on the offensive end, the situation is always unable to open up, so who are you not to scold?

The most important thing is that Tyronn Lue has never been able to find a solution, so Tyronn Lue must bear the main responsibility.

As a head coach, if you can't unblock your tactics and let your players show their energy, that's your problem.

"Such a piece of rubbish, why should you be named the best head coach? Eat shit..."

"Besides giving the ball to Xue Liancheng, what else does he know?"

"It's true... around Xue Liancheng, pigs can take off."

"In the first quarter, we were pushed into two waves of offensive attacks, but... you were so stunned that you didn't react at all."

"You can't fight back at all, it's really rubbish."

"You want to say that the offensive end is due to problems with the player's touch. This is unavoidable and excusable. Then the defensive end failed to provide timely feedback. This is a proper problem caused by Lu's guidance."

The New York fans are still very fierce and their curses are very unpleasant.

of course.

After scolding the head coach, they continued to scold the players.

Lopez was also scolded.

In this game, Lopez made 17 of 7 shots and only scored 15 points, shooting 41.1% from the field, and his efficiency was so-so.

But the problem is, you are an insider!

It is also unforgivable for a big player to achieve such efficiency.

In addition, Lopez and Biyombo did not have any advantage in the matchup, nor did they show All-Star level style, and they also did not make outstanding contributions on the defensive end.

For three or five rounds, Lowry was still playing around, and finally the scene where he was confused and confused was captured, which was very embarrassing.

The fans will naturally criticize you through gritted teeth.

Then there is Xue Liancheng.

That's right.

Even though Xue Liancheng scored super statistics of 34 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, he was scolded by the fans.

The reason is that Xue Liancheng's efficiency is also not very high. He made 23 of 10 shots and only had an overall shooting rate of 43.7%. This is 53 percentage points lower than the 10% shooting rate in the regular season.

In other words, in the fans' perception, your performance is poor.

of course.

This is just one aspect.

On the other hand, the reason for criticism is that fans believe that Xue Liancheng still does not take enough shots, his attack power is not fierce enough, and his aggression is not strong enough.

Since everyone else is trying to make a difference, they might as well count on their own star player.

No matter what, Xue Liancheng still has a 43.7% hit rate, which is much better than others.

There is another level of meaning expressed by the fans, which is that Xue Liancheng failed to fulfill his responsibilities and responsibilities as a star.

This is the main point of their criticism of Xue Liancheng.

Besides.

Jeff Green, Ilyasova, Galloway and others were also criticized because they didn't play well.

As for the voices of media criticism, they are even more sharp.

"Facts have proven: Defense wins championships, it is an eternal truth"

"Is this the true face of the Knicks?" 》

"The Raptors are underrated?" Or are the Knicks overrated? 》

"Is Xue Liancheng really a superstar?" 》

Just as the Knicks were in turmoil, the NBA official website posted a piece of news: Xue Liancheng was elected the regular season MVP for the 2015-2016 season.

This is to be expected.

After all, the Knicks' regular season record is 68 wins and 14 losses, which is only two games lower than the Warriors' 70 wins and 12 losses.

But in the direct confrontation, the Knicks double-killed the Warriors, and Xue Liancheng also had the upper hand in the direct dialogue.

Personal data.

Xue Liancheng averaged 31.15 points, 12.9 assists, 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.

The overall shooting percentage was as high as 53.7%, and the three-point shooting percentage was also 48.3%. He averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game. He was also elected as the scoring and assist leader, and was also the three-point leader for the season. His dominance was clear at a glance.

Let’s look at Curry, the biggest competitor for MVP.

This season he averaged 30.4 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 2 steals per game. Such statistics are also extremely gorgeous.

The overall shooting rate is 50.2%, the three-point shooting rate is also as high as 45%, and the free throw shooting rate is 90.8%. The authentic 180 Club averages 5.1 three-pointers per game and leads the Warriors to a historic season. It stands to reason that he will definitely compete for MVP. More than enough.

But unfortunately, he met the even more violent Xue Liancheng.

Data-wise, he was completely surrounded and suppressed by Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng's assist data is nearly double that of Curry.

Another important data is rebounds, Xue Liancheng also absolutely suppressed Curry's 7.1 with 5.4.

Even Curry's best three-point shot was suppressed by Xue Liancheng.

In terms of hit rate, win-loss value, efficiency value, high-level statistics, etc., Xue Liancheng also surrounded Curry in all aspects.

In fact, after the results of the scoring competition came out, the ownership of the MVP was already a foregone conclusion.

If Curry wins the scoring title, he will barely be able to compete. Whether he can win or not is unknown.

But it turns out.

Curry didn't win the scoring title.

Then there would be no way to argue with Xue Liancheng.

Therefore, this result is not surprising at all, everything is within everyone's expectations.

But when the news was released at this time, it still attracted a lot of ridicule.

"Is this the strength of Lianzhuang MVP? He can't even beat a team like the Raptors."

"Haha... Lian Zhuang! As a result, you were beaten by the Raptors. Do you really deserve the title of Lian Zhuang?"

"The Raptors are not a seeded player. They lost so completely. To be honest, I am quite disappointed with Xue Liancheng's performance."

"Curry is the one who truly deserves the title. His record is superior to the opponent's, but he loses to a player who has consistently won the championship and is disappointing in the playoffs. I really feel unworthy of Curry."

"Losing a game is nothing, but you didn't show the dominance of a consecutive MVP."

"It's just that there was no resistance at all throughout the whole process. I really couldn't see any dominance at all."

"The statistics are quite gorgeous, but anyone who has watched the game knows that you have no ability to lead the team to a comeback."

"We need the performance of our star teammates so much. Once our teammates don't perform well, then you can only stare."

"Just asking you, are you embarrassed?"

Almost all of them were mocking Xue Liancheng.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Lianzhuang MVP!

You have reached such a high level, but in the first game of the second round of the playoffs, you lost so completely that there was no room for resistance. It is understandable that the public is disappointed.

This is where fans question Xue Liancheng.

That is to say, if you don’t have enough dominance, why should you be the banker?

of course.

Having said that, this is just a game, not eliminated.

Therefore, many people stood up to speak out for Xue Liancheng.

"What the hell, can you keep sweeping your opponent? If you don't sweep him, will you say he is not dominant enough?"

"These idiots, 34+11+7, aren't they dominant enough?"

"If your teammates don't perform well, it will be quite negative. Damn it... you still expect Xue Liancheng to carry a huge mountain on his back and walk thousands of miles a day? You are obviously trying to force others to do something difficult." "Leave aside winning or losing, Xue Liancheng's personal performance is definitely not good. Difference."

"What the hell, a bunch of undercover agents, even the gods can't save them!"

"Yes! Xue Liancheng scored 7 points in a row in the fourth quarter and was about to reach single digits. Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu came out at this time. What can he do?"

"I think this game is really about trying our best. There are too many people holding us back, and he can't bring him along."

And amid the commotion.

The Knicks ushered in their second battle with the Raptors.

Everyone's eyes are focused here.

If we lose again, it will really be a good show.

After all, they have lost two consecutive games at home, and if they play on the road next, it will be a narrow escape.

If you are not careful, you can easily be swept out.

And even if you are not swept, you have lost your advantage. For the Knicks, whether it is morale or the right time and place, they are at a disadvantage. It is difficult to complete the final comeback.

To say he was standing on the edge of a cliff would be an understatement.

So, this game is very crucial.

Everyone on the Knicks knows this.

Before the game started, they stopped laughing, and they stopped teasing Toronto. The entire locker room seemed extremely dull, and they were all 100% cautious.

And precisely because of this caution, they had a bad start.

Oladipo, Vonlei, Lopez, after they get the ball, their first reaction will be stable, and they are not as energetic as before.

As a result, they lost their mobility advantage.

Only Xue Liancheng attacked fiercely with his head down.

And when a player who mainly passes the ball focuses on offense, and when a group of arrow players who finish by catching the ball hesitate, then... this means that the team's offensive machine has another problem.

The role positions are reversed. Is there no problem?

and so.

Once again they struggled.

They don't have the toughness of the regular season. They are all rigid in positional battles. It feels like they are rusty and their offensive machinery can't turn.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed the Raptors by 23 point, 24:1.

23 points in a single quarter. Calculated in this way, the whole game is only 90+. How can such a scoring efficiency be at the Knicks' pace?

You know, the Knicks average 112+ points per game, and their offensive firepower is quite terrifying.

There were only 23 points in a single quarter, and the offense seemed to be constipated. It was really ugly.

Tyronn Lue jumped again.

But it's no use.

They still can't let go, especially Oladipo.

I don't know if it's because the pressure is too great or because the Raptors' defense is too oppressive. Anyway, they just don't have the aura they had in the regular season.

The whole person looked old-fashioned, hesitant on the court, and couldn't even find his position.

When preparing to appear again.

Xue Liancheng couldn't help but walked to Oladipo, "Victor, I think you need to find yourself and take action with confidence. There is no problem."

Ok……

Oladipo listened.

But instead of running hard or catching the ball and attacking the frame, he rushes in with the ball and takes crazy shots.

oh well...

This time the effect is even worse.

By halftime.

The Knicks are already 42 points behind at 50:8.

That's right.

The Knicks only scored 19 points in a single quarter.

Among them, 7 points were contributed by Xue Liancheng, another 6 points were contributed indirectly by him, and the remaining 6 points were obtained by his teammates alone.

Such a performance directly silenced all the fans present.

Fortunately, the Raptors' overall performance was not very good, it could only be said to be average.

otherwise……

I'm afraid it will be stretched to double digits again.

Section 3.

Everyone expected the Knicks to rebound, but they failed in the end and only scored 24 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were 66 points behind the Raptors at 76:10.

The on-site commentator could not hide his disappointment, "I can't imagine that this is the performance of the team with the second strongest offensive power in the regular season. They only scored 66 points in three quarters. It is so disappointing."

Commentator: "Looking at it now, I'm afraid the Knicks are seriously overvalued. If they lose this game again, the Knicks will really be on the edge of the cliff."

Host: "It's really unbelievable. It seems like this team suddenly stopped playing basketball overnight, especially Oladipo. His performance was even worse this time. He was completely trapped and still fighting. No one knew about him. what are you doing."

Commentator: "Now it depends on whether Xue Liancheng can stand up and turn the tide."

Commentator: "Judging from the current combat effectiveness displayed by the Knicks, one word - difficult."

Host: "I think it's time for Tyronn Lue to change his strategy and let Xue Liancheng and Lopez play more pick-and-rolls to see if they can struggle at the end."

Commentator: "The problem is, Lopez's condition is not much better!"

Although Xue Liancheng, who was sitting in the audience, did not hear these words, his heart was already throbbing.

Damn...

Why is it getting worse the more I fight?

He couldn't understand why?

In the first round, everyone's performance was still at the level and everything was fine. Why did it become like this in the second round?

After thinking for a long time, he probably came up with an answer.

This is Oladipo's first playoff trip. He is not prepared mentally and physically, and is commonly known as a playoff rookie.

When things are going smoothly, there are no taboos and everything is possible.

Once you play against the wind, problems can easily arise.

First of all, psychologically, external pressure and court pressure will make him very tense. If the nerves cannot be relaxed, sometimes it will affect a player's feel.

Once there is a problem with the touch, it will evolve into a dwarf in action. There will be problems with his overall state and he will become awkward, and the defensive end will also be full of loopholes.

To describe it in one sentence, one move affects the whole body.

Oladipo is currently in this situation.

In the first game against the Raptors, because he underestimated the enemy, he was knocked unconscious by a blow to the head from the Raptors.

Then in the second game, Oladipo became worried about gains and losses and became cautious. This actually restrained himself, or more accurately, tied his own hands and feet.

This is a psychological change that affects his performance on the court.

Besides.

And the most important point is that the Knicks are too eye-catching. The New York market is hot, they are favorites to compete for the championship, and they have MVP superstars. These have attracted a lot of attention to them.

It's almost like watching every move they make on the field with a magnifying glass.

In this environment, not only Oladipo is under tremendous pressure from outside public opinion, but Lopez, Vonleh, Crowder, Jeff Green and almost everyone are also exposed to the attention of fans and the public at all times. Under the spur.

If you are not careful, you will be whipped.

How could they let go?

Especially people with fragile psychology are more likely to have their hands and feet deformed on the court, and Feng Lai is one of them.

When he beats the fans, Vonleh can fly.

And if things go wrong, it will look like you are about to die.

This is the crux of the current Knicks' offensive inability to open up.

The solution is actually very simple.

That is to recover the score, or even achieve a go-ahead lead, then morale will inevitably be high, and everyone's status will be able to fly back.

But there is a problem in front of him. With him alone, he simply cannot lead the team to complete the lead.

Even if he uses all his killer skills with 100% hit, he still can't do it!

Because basketball is a team sport after all, no matter how much he can do on his own, he cannot lead the entire court as long as the opponent is guarding him tightly.

Or to be more precise, under the opponent's tight trap, he would be unable to move, let alone lead him away.

Is it...

Can we replace a group of people?

Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced. As expected, his teammates were languid and looked like they were dying.

Even when the camera came over, many teammates didn't dare to look at the camera.

They are running away...

How is it possible to win with this kind of mentality?

Shaking his head, he subconsciously turned to Tyronn Lue.

At this time, Coach Lu was seen walking anxiously and yelling at the substitute players who were fighting on the field.

same.

Even Tyronn Lue became cautious, using only nine rotations in this game, except for the starting five.

The only substitutes used were David West, Tyler Johnson, Crowder, and Jeff Green.

The rest of them didn't get a single minute of playing time.

Knew it!

Emotions come from the top down.

Xue Liancheng suddenly understood and found the problem.
