NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 212 The Longest Winning Streak This Season

after the game.

The scene of Xue Liancheng being chanted MVP by New York fans was reproduced by major media.

Although the trading market has been closed, the rumors about Xue Liancheng not only have not stopped, but have become rampant and are talked about by many fans.

Many people ridiculed the Heat for dying.

Originally, the cornerstone of the team was built well, instead of thinking about maintaining and stabilizing, but always thinking about exploiting and lowering prices.

Well now, other teams are starting to make up their minds, so I ask you if you panic?

There were even fans of other teams who went to Xue Liancheng's Twitter to openly recruit.

The most turbulent ones are the fans of these three teams.

One is the New York Knicks.

Their slogan is still the same: New York welcomes you.

As the largest city in the world, their advantages are extremely obvious, that is, a vast market, a high exposure rate, endless topics, and the most important luxury.

As long as Xue Liancheng comes to New York, he will definitely become the focus of the public.

The second is the Indiana Pacers, the home team of Xue Liancheng University.

As a product of Indiana, local fans regard Xue Liancheng as their own.

For Xue Liancheng's return, the Pacers have an extremely enthusiastic attitude from the team management to ordinary fans.

Their advantage is simpler and purer, which is to welcome Xue Liancheng home.

The third is the Los Angeles Lakers.

As Kobe got old, this NBA giants gradually fell into the quagmire and lost their former glory.

They urgently need a cornerstone player to rebuild the team.

And Xue Liancheng showed an unparalleled super performance in the first season, and is currently the most suitable candidate in the market.

The advantage of the Lakers is also big cities, high exposure, and enough models and stars.

Apart from that, there is one more thing.

The Lakers are a team with superstar heritage.

Farther away, there is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, closer to the most dominant big center O'Neal, and closer to the slightly lighter Gasol.

These top players are all poached by them.

In the end, they all created an era and contributed to the glory of the Lakers.

This is also an advantage.

In addition to these three teams, fans of other rebuilding teams, especially fans of teams lacking point guards, have also made up their minds.

However, compared to these three teams, their momentum is much weaker.

Otherwise, there are few fans.

Otherwise, it is not so enthusiastic.

But none of this affected Xue Liancheng.

After the game with the Knicks.

All members of the Heat flew back to Miami non-stop. He needs to meet the challenge of the New Orleans Pelicans back to back at home. How can he have time to participate in these rumors.

It was the next day.

When Xue Liancheng came to the arena early in the morning, he found someone earlier than him.

That person is Uncle Wadeway who is about to come back.

Xue Liancheng was extremely surprised: "Hey... It's really rare to see you at this time."

Wade had a cold face: "What are you talking about, I train very hard, okay?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He didn't say anything, but he was slandering in his heart, it's really hard to go to a nightclub to train you.

but……

This is the way most players in the NBA decompress, especially young players.

This is understandable.

The most famous of them is Cideng, the name of the little prince of nightclubs is by no means in vain.

There are rumors that this guy is high until three or four in the morning, and continues to play the next day, no problem at all.

And Wade's ex-wife also accused Wade of throwing all kinds of absurd parties, all kinds of fooling around, and even got sick because of it.

When other fans stepped on Wade, he had a famous nickname.

- venereal man.

I don't know if it's true, anyway, Wade's life is very extravagant, which is absolutely unmistakable.

Seeing that Xue Liancheng didn't answer, Wade seemed a little embarrassed to brag, "However, in the past two years, the training time has indeed been reduced."

Xue Liancheng asked casually, "Then why are you so excited today?"

Wade: "There is something I want to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this.

Xue Liancheng suddenly understood.

After a long time, this guy is not here to train, but to be a lobbyist.

wrong……

With Wade's character, knowing that there is an irreparable rift between him and the team, it is very likely that he will spontaneously persuade him.

Because Wade's love for the Heat is really deep.

This is also the main reason why Riley's old hooligan can handle Wade.

In order to confirm why Wade came, Xue Liancheng asked, "Did Pat Riley ask you to come?"

Wade shrugged, "Yes, not all of them, I also intend to talk to you, or both..."

Xue Liancheng shook his head bitterly, "Devine, it's not just about the maximum salary. I think you have a deep understanding of this."

Brother!

Your own butt is not clean, and you came out as a lobbyist, really deduced what it means to be sold and help others count the money.

is it necessary?

For a moment, he really couldn't understand Wade's brain circuit.

Is the love for this team really that deep?
Wade froze for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I understand."

In addition to being white money, the maximum salary also represents respect and status.

at this point.

He really has a deep understanding.

As No.1 in team history, he has not received a maximum salary, which is already an outrageous thing.

What's even more outrageous is that this summer he only signed 3000 million yuan for two years, but the management directly gave Bosh a 5-year 1 million maximum salary contract.

This is a contempt for him.

Tell the truth.

At the beginning of the season, he was really angry and was very negative at one point.

But as the team continued to win and his knee problems continued, his grievances finally subsided.

But every time he thought about it, he was still very upset...

Xue Liancheng quickly stopped talking, "You just need to understand."

Wade didn't intend to give up just yet, "I understand your feelings, but sometimes... some things are really difficult to have both."

That is to say, it is simply impossible to maintain competitiveness and win more honors while also wanting money.

Xue Liancheng didn't intend to explain, but said bluntly, "As a player, our duty is to play the game with all our strength. As for other things, it's not something we should worry about, is it?"

Wade was speechless on the spot.

Xue Liancheng continued: "I think this summer, you will also jump out of the contract. I don't know if you have talked about it, but if I can only get 5 million for 6000 years, you probably won't be higher than this season's salary." , even...they won't be willing to keep you with a long-term contract."

This is really heart-pounding persuasion.

Wade's support to him is undoubtedly great, and he is a grateful person.

If it was another person, he didn't even bother to talk about it.

What's more...

The two of them were brothers and sisters, and they should have been on the same boat, but Wade couldn't figure out the situation.

sometimes.

He really felt a little sad for Wade.

Wade was stunned for a moment: "This..."

Obviously.

Xue Liancheng's words finally made him understand his situation.

As a superstar, if he only gets a salary of 1500 million, it will undoubtedly trample on his dignity.

just now……

He finally had some empathy.

Xue Liancheng: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. I believe that everything can be perfectly resolved."

Anyway, there are only two roads.

Otherwise, the Heat showed sincerity and sincerely apologized for the mistakes they made, and he stayed.

Otherwise, pat your ass and leave.

It's that simple.

But at present, Riley's determination to squeeze him is still very firm.

Sipo came to be a lobbyist...

Doesn't work?
Wade came to be a lobbyist again...

Not to mention showing sincerity simply and neatly, there is no thought of repentance at all, and there is no respect at all.

This time.

He is really completely disappointed.

If it is said before, there is still a little room for redemption.

So now, it's not a question of whether to pay the maximum salary. It's that he feels very chilled by the Heat's management, and his blood is cold.

Even if Riley offers the maximum salary with both hands, he still needs to consider whether it makes sense to stay.

Wade took a deep breath and smiled again and again, "Okay, you can handle this matter yourself, I will take care of myself first."

The conversation between the two ended here.

Xue Liancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Wade would be as stubborn as Spoelstra and would ask him to cut his salary.

In that case, the relationship between the two will also freeze there.

Fortunately.

Wade still understands him...

Ah!
He was even instigated by him.

This is undoubtedly a very perfect result.

He respects Wade.

I really treat Wade like a big brother in my heart.

He even thought before that if Riley asked him to renew his contract, he would make a request that had nothing to do with himself.

That is: renew Wade with a three-year maximum salary, and give Wade a dignity at the end of his career.

result.

so...

He didn't even look decent himself.

Let alone seeking a face for Wade.

It can be said that the world is impermanent, I overestimated the importance of myself in Riley's heart...

He was a little ashamed of his innocence, that he was so whimsical, and asked for a face for Wade.

Think about...

He felt a little funny.

……

……

evening.

The game against the Pelicans was held as scheduled.

The current Pelicans are still very good in terms of paper strength.

There is Davis, the thick-browed brother who has faintly become the number one power forward.

There is a strong point guard Jrue Holiday.

There is Tyreke Evans who once suppressed Curry, Harden, Jennings and other rising stars in his rookie season.

There are also powerful players such as big center Omer Asik and round-faced Eric Gordon.

There are also space-type interior turrets Ryan Anderson on the bench, bench bandits Dante Cunningham, Luke Babbitt, Quincy Pondexett and others.

Arguably.

This lineup is very competitive even in the cruel West.

But as of now, their record is mediocre, only 27 wins and 27 losses, and the winning percentage is about [-]%, which is far from the theory.

Many people can't understand why.

But sometimes it is so miraculous that the strength on paper is not the real strength.

Only when sparks are sparked and a chemical reaction is produced can the strength of the lineup be truly brought into play.

This is the so-called 1+1 is not necessarily greater than 2.

Replacing the whole with zero may not necessarily work.

of course.

The serious injuries of the Pelicans this season are also one of the reasons for their poor record.

Game start.

Xue Liancheng soon found out the reason why the Pelicans couldn't play.

Now Davis, his eyebrows are thicker than his hair, his body is still relatively slender, his movements are very flexible, his impact is extremely strong, and he has shown dominance on both offense and defense.

Although this is only his third season, he still has the demeanor of a superstar.

but.

His shortcomings are also very obvious. The lack of confrontation is serious, especially when facing a big tank like Gasol, the disadvantage of lack of strength in the bottom plate is immediately revealed.

Moreover, his handling of the ball when facing double-teams is also a huge problem.

Often faced with double-teams, he simply cannot quickly and strongly crush the score.

In other words, the ability to break double teams is very poor.

Besides.

He's also high on the catch.

For example, Evans can be regarded as a player who has a good combination of breakthrough points, but he has never been able to accurately deliver the ball to Davis.

The pass was high, and Davis couldn't quickly adjust his body shape to attack.

If the pass is low, it will be even worse.

As long as the double-team comes, it is easy to be intercepted.

and so.

Davis needs a point guard who feeds the ball well.

As long as he receives the ball comfortably, Davis is a huge threat.

All kinds of lobs, turns, sprints, mid-range, and low positions are all available.

Holiday would have been a good fit.

But this season, Holiday has been injured and stopped, and his status has always been a problem.

and so……

Counting the Pelicans, only Evans took on the important task of organizing the offense.

But Evans is a player who combines breakthrough points, vision and exquisite passing are not actually his strong points.

Coupled with the fact that Asik and Davis blocked the inside line, Evans' European step was not effective.

This also caused Evans to struggle in many games.

But if Asik is replaced, the defensive pressure on Davis will immediately come up.

This creates a deadlock.

Under Asik, the defense and frame protection will plummet, and the pressure on Davis will increase significantly.

Without Asik, it's Evans' turn to feel uncomfortable, often unable to tear the line of defense.

In this case, Davis is also uncomfortable.

In the end, it was twisted into a twist, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

first quarter.

The Heat used Gasol Jr. to defend Davis, and the pincers were very resolute, which caused Davis to play very badly. He made 3 of 0 shots and got a big zero egg.

Davis can't open it, so it's even more unrealistic to count on others.

Especially Evans.

Facing the shrinking of the Heat's defensive line, coupled with a large number of people under the basket, the entire penalty area was crowded, he could only float outside to shoot, and scored 4 points on 1 of 2 shots.

Where is the 20+5+5 high-spiritedness of the rookie period!

The two cores are both deflated, and the performance of role players is also very limited.

The only thing I can rely on is Round Face Deng.

Use his steady mid-range and long-range shooting to continue the team's offensive firepower.

When the rotation time comes.

The Heat already lead the Pelicans by a big score of 31:20.

This time.

It was Xue Liancheng's turn to leave early to rest.

Led by Wade alone.

but……

I don't know if it's because of the long absence of the battle.

After Xue Liancheng left the field, the situation changed suddenly.

The Pelicans' substitutes seized the opportunity of Wade's consecutive misses and played a wave of 8:2 attacks in one fell swoop.

But Spoelstra remained motionless and had no intention of changing players.

The first quarter ends.

The Heat only led by 33 points at 28:5.

Go to the second quarter.

The Heat's offense was also blocked, and the Pelicans' substitutes all played.

But Xue Liancheng is Xue Liancheng after all.

His current breakthrough ability and finishing ability at the basket have been perfected.

As soon as you see that your teammates are not working, immediately turn on the personal mode.

If he encounters a small man leading the defense, he will directly push to the basket, and use his advantages in tonnage and strength to finish directly at the basket.

If you want to switch defenses, then get stuck and break in, and then use your footsteps to make dazzling picks.

And once the Pelicans enable real double-teaming.

Coupled with the active movement of teammates.

The threat of Xue Liancheng's passing has also gradually recovered.

finally.

They maintained their lead.

When the second quarter progressed to 6 minutes and 33 seconds.

Heat offensive round.

Xue Liancheng went in alive, facing Davis' supplementary defense, he continued to change directions and pull back.

I don't know what happened to Davis, but he pulled his hips and slipped to the ground.

That's right.

It was really pulled to the crotch.

The game is suspended.

Davis went straight off.

And when the next game.

Davis's data stayed at 8 of 2 shots and only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Play the same hip stretch.

Losing Davis, it was really worse. The Pelicans couldn't play in an instant, and they were beaten by the Heat 14:2.

Pelicans coach Monty Williams called two timeouts in a row, but nothing worked.

If you can't attack, you can't defend.

What can I do?
It's almost the rhythm of surrendering in situ.

Halftime is over.

The Heat directly extended their lead to 64+ with 43:20.

There is no way to fight...

The end result was no surprise.

The Heat beat the Pelicans again with a big score of 120:97.

Xue Liancheng scored 20 points and 13 assists, once again becoming the best player in the game.

Wade just came back, the state is not very good, 19 of 6 shots, only scored 16 points, the efficiency is very bad.

But it's also understandable, after all, after resting for such a long time, it's normal that I can't improve my state all of a sudden.

The Heat also have this strength, allowing Wade to make mistakes.

at this point.

It can be seen from the Heat's violent attack.

120 points!

During this period of time, the Heat's offensive firepower was terrifying, and their scoring explosiveness was also frightening.

As long as the opponent is a little slack, they can seize the opportunity to score wildly, and even beat you to death with a single stick.

Especially Xue Liancheng's pass threat was opened, it was really unstoppable, three-point rain combined with air cuts, no matter how he shot.

In just a few short rounds, it can open up the score and even kill you.

And their defensive power is equally huge.

Sometimes pinching you out of power, you can't score for a few minutes, or it is extremely difficult to score.

Especially for teams with poor offensive ability, this is especially obvious when facing the Heat.

Can't attack...

I can't keep it...

This is very deadly.

This is the key to the Heat's current 19-game winning streak.

That's right.

After defeating the Pelicans, they have achieved a wave of 19 consecutive victories in the Megatron League.

The 19-game winning streak directly tied the longest winning streak created by the Eagles this season.

The momentum is so strong that it really reaches the state where gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

The rest of the league shuddered.
