NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 402: Desire for a championship (Happy New Year!)

The scene was like a volcano erupting, rising into the sky in an instant.

Everyone was excited.

The commentator also jumped up at this moment, "Xue Liancheng! The final kill! He completed the final kill again! Oh my God! It's as if a god descended from heaven and is unstoppable. He is really too strong!"

Not to be outdone, the commentator shouted at the top of his lungs, "The strongest player of the season and the number one player in the league is truly worthy of the title. His three consecutive hits at the last moment directly killed the Warriors. He really defeated the Warriors with his own strength." I joined a team, and suddenly, I saw the shadow of Jordan."

Host: "Yes, Xue Liancheng gives people an aura, as if no one in the world can stop him. He stands there motionless and is enough to destroy everything."

The three people's words of praise were beyond words. They jumped up and down as they spoke, giving people the illusion that they were inviting a great god to get on top of them.

That's right.

Such exaggerated actions appeared on the bodies of three famous commentary teams, which is an incredible thing in itself.

But it happened.

It shows how heavy the gold content of Xue Liancheng's ultimate victory is.

Xue Liancheng: "The 0.3-second buzzer beater is the best mark of my career. I can remember it for a lifetime. But in terms of gold content, I think tonight's buzzer beater is even more valuable. The reason is very simple. This is the finals. This game The outcome of the game will determine the trend of the entire series and will affect who can win the championship, which has far-reaching implications."

Everyone knows that a 3:1 lead and a 2:2 tie are two completely different concepts.

After the buzzer-beater hit, it was a 2:2 tie. The two sides returned to the same starting line. It was really unclear who would win.

Reporter: "Xue, how do you feel now?"

There's only one ball missing!

No one would be willing to change anyone else.

Xue Liancheng said, "I am very excited and excited. I have killed many games, but today is definitely the most exciting night for me."

Such a huge difference is naturally difficult to accept.

At this time, he was not in the mood to pay tribute, and he was not in the mood to say those nonsense and harsh words.

But in the end.

Lost?

Seeing victory in his pocket, he actually lost now.

There are no other options.

After all, the Knicks were 2 points behind, and with 8 seconds left, the last shot was truly a life-or-death sniper.

And you still have to shoot three points to kill the game. If you shoot two points, it will be a tie at best.

It's so heavy that it makes you lose your composure.

How could they not be excited?

The Knicks bench also went crazy, running towards Xue Liancheng to hug their hero.

They know exactly what a kill means.

With a 2:2 draw, they returned to the same starting line. The difference from 1:3 is that most of the players' psychological pressure will obviously be directly evaporated.

In fact, if you study it carefully, it is understandable.

The most important thing is that he clearly knows that losing this game will affect the trend of the entire series.

Reporter: "Xue, I want to know, do you like the 0.3-second buzzer beater you contributed in the series with the Bulls last season, or do you like the last hit to kill the Golden State Warriors in tonight's game? Do you think two buzzer-beaters are better? Which one is more valuable?"

Killed the game.

The reporter immediately found Xue Liancheng.

Besides.

That sense of gap is enough to break the heart of everyone in the Warriors, including Stephen Curry.

Curry had to accept the result, shook his head and walked to the locker room passage.

And Xue Liancheng chose the former, so one can imagine how great the pressure was.

On the field, there were cheers, excitement, excitement, and naturally there were also those who were disappointed.

There is no doubt that Xue Liancheng's ball is as valuable as his name.

Two completely different destinies stand in front of the fork in the road.

Curry held his head, as if he had lost his soul, with a look of disbelief on his face.

This kind of feat is really great, and it is regarded as a classic just like Leonard's absolute kill during the Raptors period in history.

A 3:1 lead means that they have won Tianwang Mountain. As long as they win one game, just one game, they can reach the championship.

After the game.

Or... die.

It feels like the golden mountain is right in front of you, but you find that there is a vast ocean in the middle, which is out of reach.

Xue Liancheng finally did it.

And if it's a 2:2 draw, then we have to start over.

Or to be more precise, Xue Liancheng's heartbreaking goal was enough to change the pattern of the series.

At the same time, it is clear how important it is to win this game.

There is a very obvious premise here, that is, once the Knicks lose, they will be behind 1:3. This big score means that half of your foot is hanging in the air. As long as the other foot is lifted, it will be thousands of feet. Fall into the abyss and fall to pieces.

Otherwise... live.

Even though he knew that he had the ability to hit 100% of the time, he still couldn't help but feel excited after the hit.

The reason is naturally that even if he knows that he can make the shot, it does not mean that there will be no surprises.

For example, if a shot is blocked by the opponent, the 100% hit skill will be invalidated on the spot.

Another example is if the ball is passed incorrectly, there is no chance to activate the 100% hit skill.

Another example is if you throw the ball away, you are also seeking your own death.

Or the shot timed out.

These are all unexpected factors, and it is difficult to achieve 100%. This is the reason why his blood was so excited after confirming the final victory.

Only after scoring and confirming that the score is valid can he let go of his anxious heart.

Reporter: "Now that the score is back to 2:2, do you think you can continue it and win the championship?"

Xue Liancheng: "There is no doubt about it."

We have all come this far.

There is nothing left to avoid.

The championship is their goal.

As far as the team is concerned, the Knicks won the championship again after decades. It was truly a happy event of the century for New York City.

Personally speaking, two consecutive championships + two consecutive FMVP + two consecutive regular season MVPs are completely different from one championship, one FMVP and two regular season MVPs.

No matter how many regular season MVPs you have, if you don't have a championship, you can't even talk about dominance.

Or even conversely speaking, if you have been in the finals every year, is there something wrong with your leadership ability?

Or even, is there something wrong with your own strength? Are you personally strong enough?

Therefore, the championship is always more important than anything else, especially for core players. Only the championship is the most important honor, no one.

just now.

They were only one step away from reaching the top, so it was naturally impossible for him to be humble and say those unlucky words.

He needs to boost morale and use the media to tell his teammates that he can lead everyone to win the championship.

Reporter: "So, how would you rate your performance in this game?"

全场下来，薛连城22投11中，又拿到了30分16助攻11篮板的三双数据。

The Knicks basically suppressed the Warriors throughout the game. If Curry hadn't exploded at the end, there would have been no suspense in the game. This is in terms of the overall performance of the team.

As for Xue Liancheng, while he contributed a triple-double, he also contributed the most exciting three-pointer in the game, which is simply amazing.

You know, the Warriors were flanking Xue Liancheng throughout the game, and it was a deadly trap.

Logically speaking, Xue Liancheng's performance is already perfect.

But Xue Liancheng is still not satisfied: "I can only give 60 points at most."

The reporter was quite surprised, "Why?"

Xue Liancheng: "If I had performed better, I think we wouldn't have dragged out the suspense of the game until the end. As a leader, this was my mistake."

In fact, he still had something to say.

22 out of 11, this efficiency is actually not bad, the hit rate has exceeded %.

But the problem is, if the three 19% hitting skills are removed, his shooting becomes 8 of .

This is still a shooting percentage that leaves a certain amount of space.

This shows that his performance is not as good as expected.

He is seriously reviewing the mistakes he made in this game, not just to take responsibility or to pretend to be wrong.

Reporter: "Xue, you are too demanding on yourself. I see your desire for the championship."

When Xue Liancheng heard this, he finally smiled, "As you can see."

That's right.

It is his extreme desire for the championship that makes him constantly reflect on what he did not do well.

That would make him dare not relax at all.

If he only thought about his statistics, he would not show his guilt to the world in front of the media.

As he just thought, he desires to win two consecutive championships to establish his superstar status.

Because of the path Zhuang Yan designed for him, if he wants to surpass Jordan, he must create his own legendary path.

And winning two consecutive championships is just the beginning.

It is also the most basic first step.

If this step is not solid enough, then copying the legend of Jordan or even surpassing the legend of Jordan is simply a dream.

This is why he is bound to win the championship.

Securing the title of the league's number one player is only the first step.

Only when you move steadily can you take the next step.

And at the same time.

There is also a group of reporters who have chased Curry for interviews.

Reporter: "Stephen, can you tell me what losing this game means?"

Curry: "This is just a whip to spur us to success. I will not be depressed about it. I believe that the ultimate glory belongs to our Golden State Warriors."

The very official answer is to drink chicken soup to cheer yourself up.

But reporter Men Erqing asked: "Will losing this game have a huge blow to your morale?"

There is no doubt about this.

Anyone else's heart would probably collapse if someone beat him to death like that.

But as a leader, it is absolutely impossible for Curry to admit, “There are some blows, but it’s nothing. The series has reached this point, we have figured out their context, and we have found a way to defeat them. "

In fact, this is true.

The Knicks have no problem saying that.

In the first two games, the Knicks lost completely.

After returning to the home court, Xue Liancheng took the lead in transforming and sent a record-breaking 22 assists in the finals in the third game. This was another triple-double.

They lost some energy in defeating the Warriors in the last game, but in this game, the Knicks actually suppressed the Warriors throughout the game.

The progress of the Knicks is really visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the reporter asked directly: "The Knicks have won two games in a row. It seems that the Knicks have found your flaws, such as double-teaming you..."

Curry's eyelids twitched, "I'm not afraid of double teams. I've proven it in the last moments of the game."

The fact is that Curry made 22 of 10 in this game, and his shooting percentage is very limited. If it hadn't been for that last burst, his personal data would have been very tragic.

This is also a major reason why the Warriors were suppressed by the Knicks.

In addition, Curry also made 5 turnovers.

This is Curry's performance after being double-teamed, which is simply a disaster.

But a superstar is a superstar, and he almost completed his redemption in the end. His scoring explosiveness was astonishing, and it was simply jaw-dropping.

The reporter didn't bother too much: "So, what do you think of your old rival Xue Liancheng?"

Curry: "He is so strong that he can hardly find any big flaws, but he also seems to have lost his position under our double-teaming. We believe we can do better in the next game."

result.

Curry's words were like poison, causing the Warriors to die in Game 5 at home.

Because Xue Liancheng broke out.

25投15中，三分13中7，罚球10中10，疯狂地揽下了47分17助攻10篮板的超级三双数据。

Under his leadership, the Knicks easily defeated the Golden State Warriors 133:117 and won the Battle of Tianwangshan, leaving them just one step away from lifting the cup.

Except for Xue Liancheng, everyone else performed very well, especially on the defensive end. The defensive chain formed by Oladipo + Von Lay + PJ Tucker + Lopez completely locked up the Warriors in this game.

Curry, in particular, was beaten to the point of being autistic.

He made 24 of 8 shots from the field and 9 of 1 three-pointers. If it weren't for the two goals he made in the last garbage time, Curry's data would be impossible to watch.

It can be said that this game is the fruit of victory brought about by the Knicks continuing the momentum of the last game.

Everyone was on top of their game. They defended actively and hard. They collided without mercy and completely strangled Curry.

On the offensive end, various passes and cuts were combined with screens, and all kinds of wall-breaking and break-up responses were smooth and smooth, creating a lot of shooting space for Xue Liancheng. Only then did Xue Liancheng completely open up, and his hand exploded directly on the spot.

On the other hand, the Warriors inherited the frustration of being defeated by the Knicks in the last game. They were demoralized and listless, and they always felt like they couldn't get motivated.

All kinds of misplacements, all kinds of chaos, all kinds of loss of control, all kinds of mistakes, all kinds of illogical strikes.

If it weren't for Thompson's offensive support, the Warriors would have lost even more miserably.

It can be seen that the last game was a huge blow to the Warriors.

It's not as easy as Curry said.

Or to be more precise, Curry's interview session was ultimately deemed to be self-comfort.

At this time, the media can print various posters.

Xue Liancheng's statement that he "desires a championship" became the biggest headline and was quoted as a headline by most media.

By this time, the wind was blowing toward New York.
