NBA: I am a master dealer

When the final whistle of the game sounded.

Xue Liancheng was already sitting on the bench. In the last round of offense and defense, he did not play at all and could not play.

The severe pain in his spine made him unable to hold on any longer.

So when everyone cheered to win the championship.

Xue Liancheng sat alone on the bench, staring and motionless.

But no matter what others do, the camera will definitely capture him in the first place.

He was sitting on the bench at this time, in the posture of a gentleman lying down, with one foot straightened and one foot half bent, half lying there, and the other hand was still resting on the chair.

And the way he sat calmly, like a god among gods, with calmness and composure on his face, and an aura of "everything is under control" exuded from his body.

The picture is frozen at this moment.

The commentator exclaimed: "The way Xue looks now is like a king. No matter how you turn and jump, he will not be surprised. He is really so calm. As long as he sits there, your eyes will focus on him unconsciously."

The host also praised repeatedly, "Xue Liancheng is simply incredible. He successfully performed the return of the king drama, completed a miracle and led the team to win the championship for two consecutive seasons. He is now the undisputed number one player in the league." .”

Commentator: "Xue Liancheng is really amazing. He successfully conquered me. Congratulations to Xue Liancheng for lifting the O'Brien Cup for the second consecutive season."

And this time.

The teammates just woke up and seemed to be missing something.

Looking back, I saw Xue Liancheng lying on the bench, and I quickly came over.

And Xue Liancheng finally waved his hands with a grin on his face, as if he didn't want to offend me.

Only then did everyone realize that Xue Liancheng's injury was not easy to heal at all.

After a short celebration, Oladipo also came out, merged into the large group and continued to roar crazily.

Overall champion!

After working hard all season, they finally won this supreme honor.

Especially David West, who looked so excited that he really looked like a kid weighing more than 200 pounds.

He walked up to Xue Liancheng, put his arms around Xue Liancheng's neck, and said with a moved expression, "Xue, thank you for helping me win this supreme honor. Thank you for bringing my entire career to a perfect end. Thank you." Thank you for your hard work."

Xue Liancheng also said sincerely: "I also want to thank you for your trust and your tireless efforts throughout the season. I also want to thank you for your hard work in the playoffs. Without you, we would not have won the championship."

Especially in the finals, David West averaged 18.5 minutes per game and contributed 7.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He was the absolute backbone of the team.

Without David West's outstanding performance in Game 3, Game 4, and Game 5, they may not have won the game.

There is no doubt that David West is an important part of the Knicks' championship, especially when Oladipo and Vonleh were in continuous downturns, and when the team needed a strong inside attack, David West stood up.

This fully fulfills what he said when he recruited David West, who will play an important role in the Knicks.

David West lived up to expectations and played the role a veteran should have.

David West smiled: "To be honest, after I promised you at that time, I immediately regretted it, but in the end... you came with me for real."

Xue Liancheng said seriously: "I never joke."

The fact is that when he first came to the Knicks, there was a shortage of inside players, and his initial talk of competing for the championship was to deceive David West.

Because as far as that lineup is concerned, he actually doesn't dare to dream about winning the championship.

In his prediction, it would be like this in the second round of the playoffs.

Unexpectedly, the Magic sent warmth in the middle of the season.

The addition of Oladipo has directly raised the Knicks' overall strength to more than one level.

Vonleh's awakening directly made up for the Knicks' last shortcoming.

This allowed them to dominate the regular season and win the playoffs.

And finally after a tiebreaker, they reached the championship.

There was coincidence, there was luck, but more importantly, he was indeed powerful enough, with three 0.6% hit skills, 20 seconds of prediction time, % hit rate bonus, plus the dynamic image in the big bug's mind.

The combination of these makes him omnipotent.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw the scene of their first contact in each other's eyes, and it was so clear.

Then Oladipo came over.

The two embraced each other deeply.

After a long time, Oladipo spoke, "Xue, you are the biggest beacon of my career. Thank you for bringing me to New York."

Equally emotional, equally filled with tears.

During the Magic era, he was a highly questionable second pick. Everyone was doubting whether he could play. Even the Magic management thought so and put him on the bench.

To be honest at that moment, he was desperate.

Originally, he thought that with his talent, he could become the star of the Magic and have a bright future in Orlando.

The result was that he was traded overnight.

After coming to New York, everything changed qualitatively.

He jumped from a 16+ player to a 20+ player. He was also selected as an All-Star and officially entered the All-Star level. The team was also racing towards the championship.

Sometimes, he felt like it was all a dream, so unreal.

Because in the first half of the season, he was still a second-rate importer who couldn't produce statistics on a bad team. In the second half of the season, he transformed and became a hot All-Star shooting guard in the league. He is the Knicks' unrivaled No. 2 figure. Let's take the spotlight. It was so hard for him to get used to it.

And all of this comes from Xue Liancheng's gift.

He understood this deeply.

Therefore, his gratitude to Xue Liancheng is extremely sincere.

Xue Liancheng: "Viddock, thank you for your unremitting efforts. It is with your help that I can become better and we can win the championship."

In the first few games of the finals, Oladipo's overall performance was really bad.

But in the crucial tiebreaker, Oladipo burst out all his energy. Even when he was ejected in the fourth quarter, he still made a crazy 19 of 13 shots and scored 33 points, which was barely the ball. The hero of the team's championship.

Well... at least he is the hero who redeems his sins.

Throughout the series, Oladipo averaged 18.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his overall shooting percentage was 41.3%.

And all this, just this outstanding performance pulled up the sluggish data.

Overall, Oladipo still deserves credit.

After all, they are the championship.

Championship means success. In the face of success, any mistakes can be forgiven, including Oladipo's average of 16.2 points and 38.6% shooting rate in the first six games.

Oladipo was deeply moved: "Xue, your tolerance and encouragement are my greatest motivation to move forward."

After losing in Game 6, he performed extremely poorly and reporters gave him a hard time.

Xue Liancheng did not complain, but chose to encourage him, and even took on all responsibilities, showing his responsibility as a leader to protect his younger brother.

This was also the motivation for his breakout in Game 7.

This was also the reason why after he saw Chai Dan Green knocking Xue Liancheng down, he rushed up and kicked and punched Chai Dan Green without hesitation.

At that moment, he was willing to do anything for Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "Then you have to continue to grow!"

Oladipo quickly promised: "I will definitely do it."

The two hugged each other again and separated after a long time.

It was Lopez's turn to step forward.

The two also hugged each other and did not want to separate for a long time. Xue Liancheng sincerely thanked Lopez, "I know how much sacrifice you have made along the way, and I also know how important you are to the team. Now, we finally won the championship. I want to thank you, thank you." Pay silently by your side.”

When Lopez first came to New York, he was a 22+9 player!

As a result, after Oladipo came, he fell directly to the 18+ rank.

As a top insider in his prime, who can bear such grievance?

of course.

Lopez himself also had his moments of emotion.

But in the end, Lopez reconciled with himself.

He made huge sacrifices for the team and was even benched in the fourth quarter many times.

Lopez is an All-Star starter!

In terms of fame, he is definitely the second-best player in the Knicks.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Lopez accepted the change in his identity, accepted the role of a pseudo-starter, accepted the role of a substitute, and accepted the core position.

This is really valuable.

The New York Knicks' success in reaching the top is definitely due to Lopez's silent efforts.

Although Lopez only averaged 17.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in the finals, he was the team's most stable performer besides Xue Liancheng.

none of them.

In the seventh game, he scored 18 points and 10 rebounds on 24 of 11 shots. He was definitely a major contributor to the championship.

Lopez was equally affectionate: "Xue, thank you for taking me to a height I have never reached. I am very happy to play beside you."

Won the championship!

How could he not be excited about the highest honor that all players dream of?

In addition, he himself is one of the core players in winning the championship. It can be said that the blessing given to him by this championship is still very huge.

Xue Liancheng: "I am also very happy to fight side by side with you."

Next.

It's Tyronn Lue's turn.

The two of them also had a deep hug.

of course.

The two of them were not so disgusting, and they broke up as soon as they hugged each other.

Director Lu was the first to speak, "Xue, thank you for your trust. I have done my job well and I hope you will give me a favorable review."

Xue Liancheng: "Lu, no... you should be the championship coach. You deserve all the praise."

The two laughed.

Looking at each other, they also exuded a romantic atmosphere unique to men.

Next.

Xue Liancheng hugged his teammates one by one. Von Lay, Crowder, P.J. Tucker, Jeff Green, Ilyasova, Tyler Johnson, Galloway, Rooney and others finished hugging, and then came the coaching staff. and staff.

The only awkward person was PJ Tucker. When hugging him, Tucker kept saying he was sorry.

After all, a team of people rushed up to beat Chasing Green, and even the core player Oladipo did not hesitate. However, he, a role player, just pushed and pushed him, making him appear to be alone.

Now that he came back to his senses, he clearly knew that he had been slow to react or had done something wrong.

But Xue Liancheng didn't take it seriously.

He can't morally kidnap his teammates, he must stand up for himself or vent his anger, right?

When his teammates took action, he kept it in mind.

His teammates didn't take action, and he didn't blame him. The most important thing was that he had no right to blame.

However, everyone from the entire team participated, and even David West, an off-court personnel, participated. Only Tucker did not participate, which seemed really embarrassing.

After hugging his teammates, Xue Liancheng felt much better. It might be due to hormone secretion that he no longer felt pain.

Hug with Curry again.

After being defeated twice, Curry was undoubtedly very frustrated. "Xue, to be honest, you are the strongest basketball player I have ever seen, bar none."

Xue Liancheng: "As my opponent, you fought with me until the last moment. There is no doubt that you are also extremely powerful and awe-inspiring."

Throughout the series, Curry performed well, averaging 27.7 points, 6.9 assists and 6 rebounds per game. He also shot 47.2% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range. This kind of performance is definitely among the top stars.

But as the third game began, Curry became more and more sluggish game by game.

In the tiebreaker, Curry made 20 of 7 shots and 11 of 2 three-pointers before scoring 18 points. It can be said that he stalled completely.

If the role players hadn't stepped up, this game would have been over.

It can be seen from this that Curry's ability to attack tough situations is still seriously insufficient.

Especially in terms of breaking double teams, Curry struggled particularly.

of course.

This is to focus on the shortcomings.

The fact is that when Curry stands there, he has a strong deterrent effect. He can perform well in his role and is also credited to Curry's active movement.

Curry smiled: "But I will never admit defeat."

Xue Liancheng: "Then...see you next year."

Ok……

Although the course of historical trajectory has changed.

But the Thunder were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals by the Warriors.

So……

I wonder if Du Shubao’s defection to the Warriors will change in the offseason?

After the greetings, Xue Liancheng felt secretly in his heart.

of course.

Regardless of whether the Universe Yonghui is born or not, it does not affect that the alliance pattern has changed.

Then there was another hug with Thompson.

Thompson just said lightly, "Congratulations, you are very strong, but next year, I hope we can meet again."

Xue Liancheng: "I'm looking forward to it too."

In this series, Thompson performed well, averaging 22.4 points per game, shooting 48.3% from the field, and 40% from three-point range. He is absolutely the best second player.

It's just a shame.

Thompson met him two years in a row and the equally outstanding second-in-command behind him.

In his first year with the Heat, Wade really played like a top shooting guard and was once able to compete for FMVP, which helped him share a lot of pressure.

And this year.

Although Oladipo is much inferior, he can still average 18.6 points per game.

of course.

The fact that they finally won this year is due to the depth of their lineup.

Vonleh, Crowder, Jeff Green, Tyler Johnson, Ilyasova, PJ Tucker, etc., there are too many people who can be used.

This gives the Knicks enough capital to compete with the Warriors.
