NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 170 MVP discussion list, I am not worthy?

The next day.

Gather at the hotel entrance.

Xue Liancheng finally met the two newcomers.

Gasol was the first to greet him, "Xue, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

The expression was three points bitter, another three points helpless, and the remaining four points sad.

The Heat and the Grizzlies have played two games this season. It stands to reason that they will not see each other this season, unless they meet on the stage of the finals, but this chance is quite small.

Because although the Grizzlies are a strong team in the West, no one thinks they can break through from the West.

The Heat are the true contenders for the championship, but they dare not pat their chests and say that they will definitely beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

and so……

The chances of them meeting are pitifully small.

And never expected that they would meet so soon, and in a way of turning enemies into friends.

Many people think that Gasol is the pillar of the Grizzlies and not for sale.

Even he himself felt so.

But in the end, he was put on the shelf and sent to the south coast.

That feeling of abandonment is bad.

So many days have passed, and I haven't slowed down.

Xue Liancheng, on the other hand, was extremely excited: "There are indeed some surprises, but I am very happy, because with your addition, our lineup has become complete. Now it is time to let go and chase the O'Brien Cup."

Upon hearing this, Gasol's face instantly improved, "I will do my best."

From this point of view, coming to Miami seems to be a good choice.

At least this season, they have hope of winning the cup.

Another handshake and a bump on the shoulder.

The two separated.

Xue Liancheng took the initiative to walk towards Ibaka, "Hi...Serge, you are also welcome. This is the South Coast, a place where you can fly freely."

Ibaka smiled, "I am honored to follow the team to compete for the supreme championship trophy."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while.

A group of people immediately set off to the training hall.

They don't have much time, only today and tomorrow morning for a short run-in.

Then officially kick the current overlord of the pavilion alliance.

— Golden State Warriors.

The litmus test for formal trade outcomes is high, but the team is undaunted.

One practice is all morning.

rest period.

Xue Liancheng specially came to Gasol Jr., "Mark, your defense is really good."

Gasol Jr. was quite proud, "This is the only thing I can do, so naturally I have to do my best."

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows and cut straight to the point, "No, there is still a lot you can do. You can also give us more help on the offensive end, such as three-pointers."

Little Gasol froze for a moment, "Three points?"

Now shooting three-pointers inside is not mainstream.

of course.

If there is, it is better, it is a bonus, but it is not necessary.

Only after the Warriors won the championship, with the advent of the small ball era, many inside stars gradually realized the importance of shooting three-pointers and began to evolve with the trend of the times.

For example, Gasol Jr., Griffin, Lopez Jr. and others will start to develop three-point skills next season.

And now.

Xue Liancheng needs to wake up Gasol in advance and let him incorporate three-pointers into his regular scoring methods.

At least the open space has to be invested.

Therefore, Xue Liancheng continued, "That's right, I think I need you to awaken your three-point ability. Only in this way can our offensive space expand infinitely, and we can be truly invincible."

Gasol frowned, apparently unable to accept Xue Liancheng's sudden request, "Shooting three-pointers requires a lot of practice, and it doesn't happen overnight."

Xue Liancheng smiled, "It's okay, take your time, as long as you can grasp the opening opportunities, there is this three-point threat, of course...that's what Spoelstra meant."

Although he is the boss of the team, as a player, he cannot ask his teammates to do anything.

and so.

It is necessary to raise the banner of Spoel.

Gasol nodded, "Understood, I will find time to practice."

Xue Liancheng quickly said, "That's great, PJ and I will practice extra training almost every day after training, so you are not alone, we are with you."

What you've been waiting for.

He didn't want Gasol to flirt with him in a perfunctory manner.

That doesn't work.

Pulling Gasol directly onto the boat is the kingly way.

Little Gasol suddenly realized that he was on a pirate ship, and said with a smile, "Okay, remember to call me for additional training in the future."

It's settled.

Xue Liancheng's mood improved.

There are still three months before the playoffs. As long as Gasol practices well, I believe it should have paid off by then.

of course.

The premise is to practice well!

evening.

At the end of training, there is a routine media meeting.

Wade was injured, so a large number of reporters rushed to Xue Liancheng, and only a small number went to Gasol Jr.

Reporter: "How do you feel about the arrival of new teammates?"

This question is obviously suspected of digging a hole.

If the two talked about the hype, does that mean that the former teammate Bosh is not good?

Xue Liancheng said: "I am very happy, because we are currently short of insiders."

The reporter did not give up: "What do you think of Gasol Jr. and Ibaka?"

Xue Liancheng's answer was very official: "They have great ability to protect the frame and can provide great help on the defensive end. They are equally good on the offensive end and can fill the vacancy left by Chris."

The reporter had a showdown, "Who do you think is better, Bosh or Gasol?"

Xue Liancheng: "They are two players with completely different styles, and they are both very good."

What I said in my heart is naturally that Gasol Jr. is better and fits his style better. He has defense and support, and does not occupy too much possession of the ball and will not let the ball stop.

And Bosh?

It's going to be cold soon, so there's nothing good or bad to say.

but.

Even if the two of them didn't get along well before, he wouldn't step on Bosh at this time.

After all, they just don't match their playing style, not any enmity.

The reporter changed the subject, "The game against the Warriors is about to begin. What do you think of Stephen?"

Xue Liancheng: "He looks very cute..."

The reporters froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Brother!

We're asking how you play, not how you look, okay?

After the reporter stopped laughing, he quickly corrected, "We want to know what you think of his performance on the court?"

Xue Liancheng: "Very good at running, very accurate three-pointers, a great shooter."

This season, the Warriors have emerged, and the elementary school students have also shown their prowess, but after all, they have not achieved anything before.

He said that Curry is a great shooter, which is already quite a high evaluation.

And after this season, the elementary school students have become awesome.

MVP, championship, three-pointer Hao, directly set off a small ball storm, entered a new era, officially entered the ranks of superstars, and was known by everyone.

now?
Like him, he is a supernova who has taken the lead.

But the difference is that Curry has entered the MVP discussion list and is a frequent visitor to the MVP list this season.

And him?
Although the data is good-looking, the MVP didn't even mention him. Instead, Wade hovered among the top ten MVPs from time to time.

Prejudice!
The prejudice of the red fruit.

In terms of statistics, he is also a nearly 20+10+5 player, not bad, much better than Wade.

In terms of record, the Heat are the third in the Eastern Conference and their ranking is very stable.

Just because he is a rookie, in the first season of his career, he couldn't even make it to the MVP threshold, what the fuck...

The reporter seemed to have a tacit understanding, and immediately asked a question about the MVP, "The new MVP list has been updated, and Stephen is at the top of the list. Do you think he deserves his name?"

There are currently only three players competing for the MVP.

The first one is naturally Curry, who has averaged 23.2 points, 7.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game so far this season, leading the Golden State Warriors to a record of 30 wins and 5 losses, the best in the league.

to be frank.

The data is not impressive, not even as good as him, at least he is infinitely close to 20+10+5, which is better than the data of elementary school students.

But I can't hold back the Warriors' record!
The second is James Harden.

So far this season, he has averaged 27.1 points, 7.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game. The data is very impressive, but the disadvantage is that his shooting percentage is average, only 44.3%.

The Rockets' record is also very good, with 27 wins and 11 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Harden's data is better than Curry's, but his efficiency is average, and his record is also a lot worse than the Warriors.

The third is still James, but it is LeBron James.

My Big James is still the MVP favorite, everywhere I go.

So far this season, he has averaged 25 points, 6.1 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game. His shooting percentage is as high as 48.2%, and his three-point shooting percentage is also 34.3%.

But the problem is, the Cleveland Cavaliers' record is an astonishing 19 wins and 20 losses.

That's right.

That's 19 wins and 20 losses.

A while ago, I was absent from a few games and experienced a wave of five-game losing streak. Then after the arrival of the newcomers, there were also sequelae of incoordination, and another wave of three-game losing streak.

But the weird thing is that the Cleveland Cavaliers are still sixth in the Eastern Conference.

What's even more weird is that my big James actually ranks No.3 on the latest MVP list.

It's just unbelievable...

What problem can this indicate?

This MVP list is more famous than anything else.

Xue Liancheng really doesn't understand, is his data bad?Is the record bad?
He didn't even qualify for the list.

The next ones are Westbrook, Davis, Paul, Wade, Wall, Aldridge and others.

Ok……

Even Marc Gasol is in the top [-] discussion.

Anyway, without him.

This made him very upset, so he replied very bluntly, "This is selected by your media. I don't know. If you want to ask, you should also ask your colleagues."

Journalists are not fools.

Upon hearing this tone...

He immediately and keenly knew what Xue Liancheng was thinking.

It was like a shark smelling blood, and the reporters at the scene surged.

Reporter: "Do you have anything to say about you not being on the MVP discussion list?"

Xue Liancheng smiled: "I have nothing to say."

The reporter is not willing to let go of such a hot topic, "Your statistics are not bad, the average is close to 20+10+5 per game, and the team's record is also very good. Are you not angry that you failed to enter the MVP discussion list? You know , This is the player's highest personal honor award."

Xue Liancheng: "That means... in the eyes of your media, I am not in the scope of discussion of the best players. Can I be angry with you?"

so...

Ask knowingly.

According to normal standards, shouldn't he be on the list?
Even if it is in the top ten, it is an affirmation of his performance.

result.

Not even a shadow.

Isn't this so funny?

If he didn't make it to the list, that's your media's problem, how dare you ask him?
Still talking sarcastic here, it's simply hateful...

Reporter: "We are just interviewing reporters at the front end, and we don't have the right to draft and discuss. If I am qualified, I will definitely vote for you."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Completely speechless.

He replied flatly, "Then I thank you in advance."

Reporter: "Then do you think you are qualified to enter the MVP discussion list?"

Seeing that the reporter was still holding on, Xue Liancheng simply said, "I think I am very qualified, there is no doubt about it."

Reporter: "So...you think this list is unfair?"

Xue Liancheng: "It's very unfair to me."

When the reporters heard this, they were very excited.

……

……

The day.

"Xue Liancheng questioned the MVP list and said it was unfair"

"Xue Liancheng said bluntly that he should be on the MVP discussion list"

"MVP is a fake list?Xue Liancheng is not in the top ten"

"Xue Liancheng rants about the injustice of the MVP list"

It has aroused heated discussions among countless fans.

Many people complained.

"There is indeed a problem with this list. James can rank among the top three, but Xue Liancheng can't even make the list."

"No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. He doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the list. What the hell... I'd be angry if it was me."

"The Raptors rank second in the East, and DeRozan and Lowry are not on the discussion list either!"

"The two of them are worse than Xue Liancheng, right?"

"The MVP discussion is whether the data is important or the record is important? Why are James and Westbrook ranked third and fourth, but Xue Liancheng, who is in the front row of the playoffs, is not even eligible to enter the list."

"This ranking is quite funny."

"You want to say that data is important, why is Curry ranked first?"

"Even his teammate Wade can be ranked seventh, but the problem is that Wade's statistics are not as gorgeous as Xue Liancheng."

"Maybe I think he's a rookie and doesn't deserve to be on the list, haha..."

of course.

Some people also think that Xue Liancheng is not on the discussion list for a reason, and it is sufficient.

"You play next to two top stars, you have such statistics, and the Heat have such a record. Wade entered the list as the leading brother. You are a little brother, so naturally you are not eligible to enter."

"That is, you can play so well when you play next to two superstars. Don't put the cart before the horse."

"That's right. Both Wade and Bosh are recognized as top players in the league. Now that Bosh is gone, Gasol is here again. With this configuration, can the record be bad?"

"Xue Liancheng is indeed outstanding, but he is still a rookie and has not proven his ability to lead a team. It is normal that he is not included in the list."

But these rhetoric.

Obviously not convincing the public.

A well-known ESPN commentator, A-Smith, who is known as Mr. Yang of Rice Grains, stood up at this time to complain for Xue Liancheng:

I can't imagine that a 20+10+5 player led the team to the third record in the Eastern Conference, but could not enter the MVP discussion list.

It's really incredible.

Many people say that when Xue Liancheng plays next to Wade and Bosh, everything will become easier.

But is there a possibility that the existence of Xue Liancheng made everything easier.

When James joined the Heat, the equipment was equally luxurious. James won the MVP in the same way, and he was also the MVP for two consecutive times, but why did he treat Xue Liancheng differently when he came to Xue Liancheng?

This is prejudice, Chiguoguo's prejudice.

and……

Why can James enter the top three discussions this season, and what is his record?
There is no credibility at all.

Such a list ranking will become meaningless.

……

that's all.

This tweet was retweeted and liked by countless people.

Everyone agrees very much.

When James won the MVP, no one jumped out and said that it is only natural for the Big Three to form a team with an excellent record, and James is not worthy of being on the discussion list.

In the end, it was Xue Liancheng's turn to perform as a rookie, but he didn't even qualify for the list.

This is too much.

And the sensation caused, not only from the discussion of the fans.

The biggest reaction came from Chaser Green in the Warriors.

Because some excessive sports media directly used the title "MVP discussion, Curry is not worthy of the name"

"Xue Liancheng denies the MVP list, thinking that Curry is not worthy of the first place"

Oh open!

This time.

It's a hornet's nest.

Green immediately updated his tweet: If you want to enter the MVP discussion list, you should show your performance instead of questioning others there, and tomorrow's game is when you prove yourself.

This is not over yet.

Less than a few minutes later, Green updated his tweet again: I don't know where you have the confidence to question Curry. We have the best record in the league. Curry played an epic performance, shooting 44% from three-pointers , along the way, we are constantly proving ourselves, tomorrow will be the same, we will prove to you that Curry deserves the honor of the best player of the season.

After another period of time, Green tweeted again: I can't wait to kick your ass hard.

Obviously.

Regarding Xue Liancheng's questioning of the MVP list and denying Curry's speech, Green was very, very angry. He showed a posture of wanting to do Xue Liancheng, and he did his job as a guard with a knife.

On the contrary, Curry did not respond and did not stand up and make any statement.

And the players on the Heat's side are not to be outdone.

First of all, Marcus Morris, who was newly joined to the team, tweeted and counterattacked, directing Atgreen: Take care of your own ass first.

Not long after, Wade also stood up and spoke up: This is the question I have always wanted to ask, why is Xue so good, but is always not recognized by others, MVP candidate, you are definitely worth having, even he is the one in my heart MVP.

then.

The war is about to start.

That's right.

The war of words between the fans of both sides came.

The Heat said here, your data in Curry is not as good as Xue Liancheng, why are you number one?Why can't I, Xue Liancheng, even enter the list? This is a fake list.

The Warriors fans are straightforward, bluntly saying that they will overthrow you tomorrow, let you know what an MVP is, instead of talking about it here.

In the end, even the volute said in an interview with the media: I have been treated like this before. My suggestion is to put your energy into the court and prove yourself with the ball in your hand.
