The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 148, Deal reached, Christmas Eve.

Every time Iguodala of the 76ers barely made a shot and couldn't score, the 76ers were in trouble on the defensive end.

They will be countered immediately by Xue Ding and Miller.

When Iguodala wanted to return to defense, Xue Ding even rushed through halftime.

A counterattack is the best chance to widen the point difference.

Xue Ding continued to play in the final quarter and played for 6 minutes.

Relying on Oden's cover, Xue Ding got rid of Lu Wei and made a three-pointer. After opening the point difference to 20 points, Xue Ding was replaced and rested. The winner has been locked.

When the final whistle came, the Blazers beat the 103ers 84 to 76.

Iguodala played 45 minutes in this campaign, made 26 of 9 shots, 5 of 1 three-pointers, 9 of 6 free throws, scored 26 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 8 turnovers. His shooting percentage was only 33.3%, and his efficiency was extremely low. , Under the crazy double-teaming of the Blazers, his high shot brought high scores, which also brought disaster to the 76ers' defeat.

薛鼎这场比赛33分钟，16投8中，三分球6投2中，罚球8中5，砍下27分12篮板8助攻还有4次失误。

Just looking at the data, Xue Ding's efficiency is much higher than Iguodala's.

But the positions of the two are different. If Xue Ding is placed in Iguodala's position, he can't move these teammates.

The 76ers gave Iguodala very limited help. Iguodala himself is a person who needs strong teammates. Without strong teammates, it is no wonder that he can play well.

Just look at Oden's stats, he barely jumped to get a double-double.

Oden picked up the rebounds by himself after seeing Xue Ding's doubles on the rebounds, thanks to the excellent blacksmithing skills of the 76ers' role players! !

...................
press conference.

The reporters asked Xue Ding to comment on the performance of the 76ers today.

Xue Ding said: "They are very talented, but they can't perform well. I hope they can perform at a normal level next time. I look forward to the next match with them."

It's no surprise if you don't expect a big victory over your opponent.

The reporters were a little disappointed to see Xue Ding's answer in such a well-regulated manner. They expected to see Xue Ding speak a little more arrogantly, so that the hype would be more topical.

Xue Ding also knew what the reporters meant, and hoped that he would say that his opponent was hot.

But Xue Ding didn't want to use this method to increase the number of topics on him.

The Blazers' big victory was due to a reasonable lineup and Xue Ding's teammates were also strong.

Who can guarantee that he will stay in a strong team for the rest of his life?

Who will guarantee that the star on the opposite side will stay in the weak team for the rest of his life?
Andre Iguodala made a fortune when he went to the Warriors...
It's okay to be low-key.

Xue Ding himself is just a player. After all, he is closer to the NBA players of the 76ers in some respects, but the reporters, management, etc. are not the same class.

For example, Sanpao set an example for other players, and took a contract with an annual salary of 4000 million just to set an example for him as the chairman of the players union.

Anyway, if the boss didn't give him so much money, he couldn't get it either.

A reporter deliberately asked for trouble: "Iguodala's shooting percentage is low today. Is this your credit?"

Xue Ding smiled: "No, no, it's all thanks to my teammates. Fortunately, my teammates are very strong. Greg's comeback has given us a lot of help."

Xue Ding's interviews have always been boring, which disappointed the reporter.

.................. ..
After this game, the Blazers continued their December schedule non-stop.

.....
Before Christmas, the Blazers ushered in the comeback of Miller and Oden! ! !

The youth army also achieved a record of 12 wins and 3 losses before Christmas, helping the Blazers return to the second place in the Western Conference.

A lot of things happen before Christmas.

The most striking thing is that Arenas and his teammates held guns in the locker room.

After the Wizards broke out with guns, the U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the investigation, and more inside stories were revealed.

Arenas drew a gun and confronted Cory Tanton because he had an unhappy betting card game, which also sparked a discussion about whether the league should ban gambling.

Xue Ding used to think that holding a gun means watching the news, but after he joined the NBA, he realized how terrifying it would be to have a teammate like Arenas in the locker room.

Fortunately, the Blazers' players are considered normal people. Although some small conflicts are inevitable, they are basically not a problem.

The basketball in the team also appears to be very pure.

In addition to the gun door, there is another thing that is the Blazers' own business. The Blazers' deal is finally completed.

The Blazers sent Outlaw, Blake, Cunningham, and a 2011 second-round pick in exchange for Chandler, who was injured.

Xue Ding bid farewell to his teammates immediately and welcomed new teammates to join.

The addition of Chandler to the Trail Blazers caused quite an earthquake in the league.

ESPN believes that the Blazers' move is to counter the Lakers and Cavaliers' insiders.

If Chandler and Oden's playing time can reach more than 25 minutes, then the Blazers will not suffer when playing against the league's top insiders! !
Fox Sports believes that the Blazers took a great risk and it was a gamble. Rose City, known as the center terminator, ushered in a glass center. therefore be punished.

Most of the Trail Blazers fans cheered and welcomed Chandler's arrival, because if the team can raise Chandler well in the future, then the championship is expected.

This transaction has attracted the attention of the Lakers, Cavaliers and other powerful players.

Because they felt that the rise of the Blazers was unstoppable.

Almost the top teams have encountered the Blazers, and they all know the horror of the Blazers now.

And none of them encountered the full lineup of the Trail Blazers, and their Roy has not yet returned.

................
The evening of April 12.

Xue Ding is going to pick up Yaya at the airport.

The two made an appointment to spend Christmas and New Year's Day together.

On the way Xue Ding drove to the airport, he suddenly had a lot of thoughts about his own strength.

Xue Ding knows that if he continues to develop like this, sooner or later he will become a superstar, and sooner or later he will stand at the top of the NBA.

But recently Xue Ding's three-pointers have become a problem for him again, and his shooting percentage has always remained below the average level. He can score, but the efficiency is not high.

Xue Ding, who knew the future trend, found that he was not strong enough, because even if Westbrook played point guard and became MVP-level, he could not escape a sad ending!

If the Blazers undergo great changes in the future, without these powerful teammates, can they handle it without three-point support?

How can I become stronger as soon as possible?

Along the way, Xue Ding fantasized about his future. What if his three-point shot was as strong as Curry or Thompson?
Can Curry's legendary challenge mode help learn Curry's three-pointer?

Not sure about this.

Xue Ding is also clear.

When I learn Curry's three-pointer, then all troubles will be solved, and my troubles will not be too big.

Xue Ding was thinking while driving, and arrived at the airport!
