NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 120: Breaking the rookie single-game assist record!

Without Tony Allen, the Grizzlies' perimeter defense has declined vertically.

Leaving aside the lead defense, the quality of supplementary defense and assisting defense has definitely dropped a lot.

Xue Liancheng's breakthrough returned to relaxed mode.

The most important thing is that there is no one to harass him all the time. This allows him to return to his own comfort zone and feel lighter.

but.

Even so, they still couldn't open the score.

Because the Grizzlies shot too accurately.

With more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter, the Grizzlies still cling to the score with 69:76.

Among them, Conley was 2 of 2.

Randolph went 3 for 2.

Courtney Lee is 2 for 1.

Leuer, who came off the bench, scored 3 of 2.

Tyshawn Prince, who came off the bench, scored 2 for 1.

Only Marc Gasol was a little sluggish, shooting 2 for 0, but he was able to provide support and protect the frame.

At this moment, the strength of the top teams in the West is fully displayed, especially the resilience, which makes people have to admire.

Losing a main player and an important defensive fulcrum on the outside, they turned out to be brave in the end. With such a team, whoever encounters who is not afraid?

O'Neal lamented: "During this time, the Heat played a little casually, thinking that after Tony Allen was sent off, the morale of the Grizzlies would become low, and as a result, they became more and more frustrated. This is the price of underestimating the enemy. "

Barkley smiled: "Do you think the record of 15 wins and 4 losses, second in the Western Conference, is a joke? Anyone who despises them will definitely have to pay the price. The Spurs, Clippers, and Thunder should have a lot to say. right."

O'Neal said: "Then let's see how Spoelstra adjusts. If the Grizzlies are allowed to close the score again, then the fourth quarter will be bad news for Miami. The best thing the Grizzlies are good at is to grind the score with you in a straight line. And how long Xue Liancheng will play in the fourth quarter is still unknown."

result.

The high expectations of the Heat star were not realized.

The game starts again.

Conley came up and hit a three-pointer.

The score difference came to 4 points.

The Heat's situation suddenly became unclear.

Look back.

Luol Deng also gave a big gift and passed the ball to someone else.

Loyer made an air cut and not only scored, but also caused Bo Erye to foul.

2 + 1

The score difference came to 1 points.

This time.

The Heat were completely stunned.

As soon as the timeout was called, when he came back, he was hit by a wave of 6:0 attacks. It was like being hit with a sap, and his head was buzzing.

This is not the point.

The point is that from the beginning of the game to now, although the Heat did not take a big lead, they were suppressing the Grizzlies from beginning to end.

That's right!

Never once did the Grizzlies lead.

The closest time was at the end of the first quarter, when Xue Liancheng came off the field and was chased by the Grizzlies to within 1 point.

Then Xue Liancheng went into battle again, and it only took two rounds to increase the score to 6 points.

then.

It continued like this, with the largest score difference reaching 11 points and the smallest score difference being 3 points.

And now.

He was chased once again to only 1 point left.

The most unacceptable thing is that the Heat called for a timeout to arrange tactics. The purpose was naturally to take this opportunity to expand the score, but they were defeated 6:0 by others.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Heat's morale.

The expectation was obviously to expand the score, but the result was that his head was broken.

It’s weird if you’re not confused…

And if once the Grizzlies overtake.

Then.

The blow to the Heat's morale was devastating.

It was almost 3 quarters ahead, and when the third quarter was about to end, it was overtaken by a wave.

The momentum is completely different.

Just like a spring, the lower you push it down, the harder it will bounce back.

The same reason.

The Grizzlies have been suppressed throughout the game. If they achieve a lead in the fourth quarter, their momentum will be really majestic and turbulent. It will not be that simple to forcefully suppress it again.

"Dwayne..."

Si Bo on the sidelines had a gloomy face, calling Uncle Wei's name, stretching out two fingers, making a flexion gesture.

That's right!

This is a new tactical gesture.

It can also be called a tactic using Xue Liancheng as the starting point of the attack.

Bosh tested the central axis, Xue Liancheng was the starting point of the attack, and Wade ended.

This tactic is actually used a lot, and the effect is pretty good. When the Raptors broke through the double team, it showed its power.

only.

This tactic seriously weakens Wade and Bosh's possession of the ball, so it is not a conventional tactic.

Only when you can't open up the situation, or when you occasionally attack the opponent's defense, you can use it to set up a set.

The reason why it is not used as a regular tactic is of course to take care of the emotions of Wade and Bosh.

If this new tactic is used as a regular tactic, it is equivalent to establishing Xue Liancheng as the first core.

Although he is very courageous, he does not dare to do such earth-shattering things!

Build around a rookie who has just played a few games?

Crazy?

The outside world will definitely think that Spoelstra is losing his mind and going crazy.

Put aside two long-established All-Star players and let a rookie take control of the team. This is not crazy. Who can do it?

Wade and Bosh may also find it hard to accept. After all, both of them are long-established superstars. They were once the bosses of the team and won championship rings.

Now let a rookie ride on their head, they don't want to lose face?

Maybe, the Heat's locker room will explode.

of course.

The most important thing is the tactic with Wade and Bosh as the core points, and the effect is actually not bad either.

The team has been making great progress and is in a winning state, so there is absolutely no need to change.

But it's different now.

The team is in trouble again, and he himself is under tremendous pressure. At this time, some changes need to be made.

And it's obvious.

The only thing worth changing is Xue Liancheng.

Uncle Wei made an OK gesture to indicate receipt, then threw the ball to Bo Erye, and also stretched out two fingers to Bo Erye, making a flexing gesture.

Mr. Bo was stunned for a moment, frowned and said nothing.

Tried the top of the arc, then took two steps straight to the frame, turned over and fell back for a jumper.

Iron!

Seeing this scene, Spoelstra on the sidelines also frowned.

In the new tactic, Bosh can actually attack by himself as the central axis, but the problem is that when Xue Liancheng and Wade have no chance to catch the ball, Bosh can attack by himself.

And now.

Xue Liancheng and Wade have obviously already cut in, and the opportunity is in front of them.

Bosh still insists on attacking by himself, so what is the difference between this and singles tactics?

fortunately.

Sean Williams grabbed the offensive rebound.

The first time he got the ball, he found Xue Liancheng and passed the ball.

This is part of Sean Williams' routine.

Ok……

The boss in his eyes is Xue Liancheng.

Everyone on the team knows...

Xue Liancheng didn't have time to think about these messy things. After he got the ball, he pulled it out directly.

Signaling everyone to pull away.

then.

Sinking shoulders.

start up.

Pull back suddenly.

Then come out from the other side.

Courtney Lee also has a good defensive awareness, but was fooled by Xue Liancheng's operation.

Because throughout the whole game, Xue Liancheng always carried people when he broke through.

result.

Did you use your skills this time?

but.

next second.

His face turned completely dark.

Because Xue Liancheng pulled back and rushed this way, he had no intention of rushing in at all.

But to help Bosh block people.

Without noticing, he rushed inside.

By the time it was discovered that this was a trap, it was already too late.

Bo Erye has an open opportunity.

Three-point shot.

Finally got it this time.

Spoelstra on the sidelines exhaled heavily.

And Mr. Bo also smiled.

Playing with Xue Liancheng, he really felt very relaxed. The ball really arrived as soon as he got a chance.

And he also knew how to cover for him.

This awareness is really not something that ordinary people can have.

The score returned to 4 points.

The Grizzlies may not be able to catch their breath because of this, but this time Randolph didn't.

Mr. Bo took off the rebound.

He also subconsciously passed it to Uncle Wei outside the three-point line, but Xue Liancheng who was close in front of him did not pass it.

It should be the same mentality as Sean Williams.

But Uncle Wei didn't think much about it and passed it directly to Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng advanced quickly, but this time he did not choose to be at the top of the arc, but at a 45-degree angle.

Then transition the ball to Sean Williams.

After catching the ball again.

He increased his power and thrust forward.

Sean Williams blocked the crowd and followed Xue Liancheng as if he was summoned.

Not only did he block shooting space for Xue Liancheng while moving, he also helped Xue Liancheng delay Courtney Lee.

When he was about to go deep into the basket, he saw Xue Liancheng was about to make a layup.

Sean Williams suddenly pulled away.

At this moment.

Everyone's attention is almost entirely on Xue Liancheng, who cares what you, Kalami, are doing?

but.

It's Karami, when he gets a big open opportunity, the pass arrives.

Sean Williams made a two-pointer from the corner.

Hit again!

6 points difference.

Off-site attack and defense.

The Grizzlies' substitute Tyshaun Prince is also not working well, and his three-pointer is also solid!

This time Xue Liancheng caught the rebound himself, no... it should have been Sean Williams who gave up the rebound and did not compete with Xue Liancheng.

And that's the smart thing to do.

Because Wade made a surprise attack again, he had already crossed the center line, and he was the best.

As Xue Liancheng pushed forward, he observed the distance. Seeing that it was almost done, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Dwayne, take the cake..."

When Uncle Wei turned his head, the ball was already flying in the air.

He walked swiftly and without any pause.

Just past the free throw line, the ball dropped.

He just fished it out and caught it steadily.

then.

Take off straight away.

Violent bombing.

From a 1 point difference to an 8 point difference.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

The situation took a turn for the worse.

The Heat gained the initiative again.

O'Neal was stunned and marveled again and again, "Xue Liancheng's passing power really penetrated the Grizzlies' defense!"

Barkley also had to sigh, "There is no doubt that Xue is the third giant of the Heat. No one can be stubborn with me."

O'Neal laughed, "To be recognized by Sir Charles, as a former member of the Heat, I would like to express my gratitude on Xue's behalf..."

Barkley: "..."

You really dare to put gold on your face, and you should use it on your behalf?

shameless……

After rolling his eyes, Barkley said, "But don't you plan to let the main players rest in the third quarter? Especially Xue Liancheng, who has just returned from injury?"

O'Neal said fiercely, "Have a rest. If Xue hadn't stepped up just now, he would have been overtaken. How dare you let him rest?"

Barkley thought about it too, he really didn't dare to let the main force rest for a moment!

Sudden.

He thought of something and asked excitedly, "How many assists did Xue get in the third quarter?"

Ernie Johnson answered: "Including the three times just now, Xue Liancheng got a total of 3 assists in this quarter."

Buckley shook his head bitterly, "It seems that it is a bit difficult for Xue to break the record."

O'Neal had a different view, "18 assists in three quarters is a lot. It is already outstanding among rookies. And there is still a whole quarter left in the fourth quarter. It shouldn't be difficult to get 7 more assists."

Barkley shook his head: "The problem is that Xue Liancheng's playing time in the three quarters has already exceeded 25 points. Will he play another 10 minutes in the fourth quarter? Then..."

But the words have not yet fallen.

Xue Liancheng passed the ball to Wade and hit the basket successfully during the fast break.

1 more assist.

O'Neal was very excited, "Already 19 assists, Xue Liancheng is unstoppable!"

Buckley was also a little dumbfounded: "..."

Because Xue Liancheng seizes opportunities quickly and accurately, with keen insight and the strength of his teammates, he sent 4 assists in just two minutes.

It's really... beyond words.

But Xue Liancheng didn't know this at all.

No one told him that he was not far away from breaking the record.

At this time, he is focused on the game.

Look back.

Conley hit another three-pointer.

In the final 47 seconds of the third quarter, the score difference was still 7 points.

Still anxious.

The Heat attack.

Second Master Bo wanted the ball in the low post for a single, but he was trying to get the ball back and forth, but there was no good chance.

As a last resort, he passed it to Xue Liancheng who was in charge.

After passing the ball, Mr. Bo suddenly turned around and walked towards the basket.

Xue Liancheng threw it directly.

Mr. Bo took off and completed the alley-oop.

O'Neal was completely excited, "Twenty assists, Xue is really too strong. This game seems to be going to break the record."

Barkley, "It's only a 9-point lead. There's still one quarter left. The Heat are not stable!"

Only then did O'Neal react, "Yes! Winning the game is the most important thing, and data is just an accessory to victory."

What he said just now gave people the feeling that Xue Liancheng was a data brush.

Very inappropriate.

So, he quickly corrected it.

Loyle, not to be outdone, turned around and hit the target.

There are still the last 10 seconds of time.

Wade executes the final attack.

Straightforward.

But after breaking through, everyone inside was filled with people.

In Uncle Wei's last moments, he had no choice but to spread the word.

After Xue Liancheng received the ball, he saw that the time was still 2.4 seconds away, and his heart was shocked.

It turns out you are this kind of Uncle Wei.

It was so unjust to choose to pass the blame at the last moment.

And it was such an honor to leave it to him...

In this case, he originally planned to force the shot.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luol Deng squatting in the bottom corner doing nothing, looking very leisurely.

I boil!

Earning an annual salary of tens of millions and actually smoking in the corner?

In line with the noble principle that it is better for me to die than for you to die, and to die as a Taoist friend rather than to die as a poor Taoist.

He dumped the ball to Luol Deng.

Ok……

With an annual salary of tens of millions and doing nothing, it’s not too much to take the blame, right?

The most important thing is that his shooting percentage is already low enough, and he feels that it is still necessary to sacrifice Luol Deng.

after all……

Luol Deng has no room for decline.

Never expected it!

Luol Deng's ultimate buzzer beater actually hit.

What the hell.

Who can I talk to to reason with you?

Usually such a good opportunity, given enough time to take action, Luol Deng was happy to hit the iron.

It was a buzzer-beater, but this guy was spot on.

It's so unpredictable...

In front of the camera cabinet, O'Neal was excited, "This is the 21st assist. Oh my God! 21 assists in three quarters. What many top point guards can't do, Xue did it. It's amazing."

Barkley shook his head, somewhat unbelievable, "This kind of luck...cough! The teammates' touch must be too good. Is this going to achieve Xue Liancheng's record?"

O'Neal sternly corrected: "Charles, please pay attention to your wording. What does it mean that a teammate feels too good? What does it mean to achieve Xue? It is obviously Xue who gives all the good luck to his teammates."

Barkley: "..."

This……

Seems to make sense!

Xue Liancheng's touch is not very good, but his teammates' touch is quite good. He can score the ball at the buzzer. Isn't this giving good luck to his teammates?

That said, there is really no flaw.

Ernie Johnson couldn't help being moved, "A rookie player who can contribute 21 assists is already great enough."

And in front of the TV.

Countless fans who followed this game cheered and were excited.

The third giant they were looking forward to did not disappoint them.

21 assists in three quarters, often helping the team regain its footing at critical moments.

The most important thing is that Xue Liancheng's water-screen screen attack is really good-looking.

There is no feeling of hesitation or jamming at all. It flows smoothly and smoothly, which is pleasing to the eye.

Now, everyone is looking forward to Xue Liancheng's record-breaking moment.

There are still 4 assists, isn't that a wet thing?

result.

In the fourth quarter, Xue Liancheng sat directly on the bench.

Because there is a 10-point point difference advantage, it is enough to make waves.

The players on the field were also up to par, and they were on par with the struggling Grizzlies.

With 6 minutes and 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Heat still led the Grizzlies by 9 points.

At this moment.

Countless fans are anxious.

Are you going to stop letting Xue Liancheng play?

That's still a joke...

To know.

This is the record for assists in a single game during a rookie season!

Still very valuable.

Although it is not as shocking as the rookie scoring record, it is enough to write a strong mark in NBA history.

In the future, when people mention rookie assists, they will immediately remember Xue Liancheng's name.

And now.

It's almost halfway through the fourth quarter, and Spoelstra has no intention of making substitutions.

This is really annoying.

Many fans are even praying for the Grizzlies to bring the score closer, so that Xue Liancheng will definitely be allowed to play.

God seems to have heard the fans' call.

Next round.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Conley hit a three-pointer.

The score was directly pulled to 6 points, which was an extremely dangerous point difference.

Spoelstra finally called a timeout.

And under the spotlight, Xue Liancheng finally came on stage.

My teammates are really supportive.

Breakthrough pass and second master dunks.

Inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, he took a step forward after receiving the pass from the second master, and then passed it to Wade, completing the alley-oop cooperation again.

The Grizzlies made a mistake. As Xue Liancheng advanced, Sean Williams, who followed up with a point, also hit a three-pointer!

Still advancing on the fast break, Xue Liancheng took advantage of the Grizzlies' unsteady footing to get to the basket, hit the ground and passed the ball, and Luol Deng followed up with a dunk.

Finished with 25 assists.

O'Neal was as excited as a 25-pound kid, "Xue, tied with Ernie Gregorio's rookie record of assists in a single game. It's amazing! It's amazing! I sincerely recommend NTN more Live broadcast of Heat games, the new Big Three set sail, worthy of all our attention."

Ernie Johnson smiled and said, "Congratulations to Xue, for becoming one of the record holders."

Barkley also showed an expression of disbelief, "Xue's comeback was so perfect. He deserves the title of the third giant."

And there were 2 minutes and 01 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Xue Liancheng was at the top of the key, so he passed it to Uncle Wei. Prince didn't know what he was thinking, but he thought Uncle Wei couldn't get in.

Uncle Wei raised his hand and voted.

Iron trees bloom.

The first three-pointer of the game was scored like this.

And Xue Liancheng also completed the surpass, dominating the single-game assist record for rookies.

It was really thanks to his teammates that such a casual pass became a record moment.

Who would have thought?

No one could have imagined that such an exciting moment could come so easily.

O'Neill still couldn't hide his excitement, "Congratulations again to Xue, this temporary extra live broadcast seems to be the right addition, we have witnessed an exciting recording moment, and at the same time witnessed a great new star is rising .”

Barkley was also full of praise, "Congratulations to Xue Chenggong for standing shoulder to shoulder with the historical pioneers and having his first heavyweight record. I really regret not choosing to go to Miami. Otherwise, I could have jumped again and again..."

O'Neill: "Haha, what you should regret is that you didn't live ten years later, otherwise I can take you to a championship."

Barkley: "..."

The result of the game was no surprise.

The Heat beat the Grizzlies 110:103, ending their four-game losing streak.

In this game, the Heat kept suppressing the Grizzlies, leading from beginning to end and maintaining it until the end of the game.

This is all due to Xue Liancheng's continuous efforts to lead his teammates.

of course.

The feel of teammates is also really awesome.

The fact that Xue Liancheng broke the record was told to him by Sean Williams after he came off the field.

After listening, he was silent for a long time.

Not because of excitement, but because I want to smash Sean Williams' head: Why the hell didn't you say it earlier.

In this way, he can brush a few more, which will make it more difficult for latecomers to surpass, and his exclusive time can be longer.

pity.

Everything is too late.

In addition to 26... no, 27 assists, Xue Liancheng still scored 14 points.

However, his field goal percentage was a pitiful 12-for-4, which was comparable to the previous James.

Wade scored a season-high 36 points.

Bo Erye also scored 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Sean Williams also had 14 points.

Grizzlies here.

Conley scored 13 points on 10 of 25 shots. His performance was not bad, but he still could not stop the Heat's determination to win.

Randolph scored 18 points, Courtney Lee had 16 points, and Loyer had 17 points. The overall score was relatively balanced.

Just Marc Gasol withered.

after the end.

The NTN commentary team also personally came to congratulate and give a hug.

of course.

Mainly here to interview Xue Liancheng.

2 in 1, two chapters will be combined and updated in the future, thank you for your support!

grateful! Kowtow!
