NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 121 Such a player is born to be great!

Chapter 121 Such a player is born to be great!

O'Neill: "Xue, please tell me how you feel at this moment."

Xue Liancheng said, "It's very beautiful."

"..."

O'Neal is a little confused, broke the single-game assist record for a rookie, left his name in NBA history, and is on par with the pioneers. Why should he be so excited with this expression that is not salty?Shouldn't it be ecstatic?Shouldn't there be a set of words to thank God?

Why... no reaction at all?

With full of doubts, he then asked, "Don't you know you have completed a great record?"

Xue Liancheng said again: "I know, but this is just a statistic. In the face of victory, any statistics must be put aside. If the game is lost, then the so-called record is not worth mentioning. Only by helping the team win the game can we help the team win the game." That’s the most important thing, and people who play for numbers will never be happy, and I’m glad that’s not who I am.”

Ok……

He didn't know about other games, but this victory was still very important anyway.

His old mentor finally gained the right to breathe for a short period of time.

After all, if we lose this game again, it will be a five-game losing streak, and then there may be a six-game losing streak... a seven-game losing streak... an eight-game losing streak...

Now that he is better, the old mentor can breathe with peace of mind.

As for whether data is important?

nonsense……

Of course it matters.

This is the most intuitive performance that reflects your contribution to the team.

You have 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks. Your win contribution is negative and your plus/minus is negative. You say that you have made an extremely important contribution to the team. Do you believe it?

Of course I don't believe it.

The reason why statistics appear is to measure your contribution on the court.

The better the data, the more contributions you make and the greater your impact on the team.

on the contrary.

It means that you are dispensable, or even a big burden that holds you back.

Besides.

And most importantly, data can also help you get big contracts and earn more dollars.

In fact, data is the prerequisite for you to get a big contract.

This must be highlighted...

of course.

Xue Liancheng was definitely not fooling around. Data is indeed not worth mentioning in the face of victory.

Is it confusing?

it's actually really easy.

Victory is the first prerequisite. Only when you win can your data be meaningful.

If you lose and keep losing, then no matter how good your data is, it is just a data brush.

The most famous ones are Randolph in the early days, Love in the first two seasons, and Monta Ellis during the Warriors. They were all labeled as data brushes. Although their statistics were incredible, they were never able to help the ball. The team won.

These data will appear meaningless.

There is also a kind of data brush, which is quite secretive.

They will be very concerned about their data, and do something to make their data look more beautiful.

For example, at the end of a quarter, there are only two seconds left, and there is not much time left. At this time, you have to shoot after pushing the ball past half-court, and you have to shoot before it even passes half-court. The hit rate of this kind of shot is very low. , many players will simply give up such shooting opportunities in order to maintain a high shooting percentage, and are not even willing to try to blind them, because they are afraid of lowering their shooting percentage.

For example, when the game is about to end, the countdown begins, and the team is 5 or 6 points behind. At this time, everyone knows that they have to shoot three-pointers. Only by shooting three-pointers can there be hope of comeback.

But some players are very selfish. They will take advantage of the two-point gap when the opponent is not guarding to attack the basket and make iron-blooded layups.

Then he commits a foul and lets the other player take a free throw, and then he drives to the basket with all his might.

Repeat it two or three times...

In this way, after a game, you will find that the team loses, but this player's statistics are very good and his hits are still high.

Even in the future, when the media counted the key points in the last minute, he ranked at the top, and then countless fans shouted, Mr. Key...

Another example is in a 24-second offensive round, the teammates can't solve the problem, the tactics don't work, and the movement and cover consume 18 seconds, which means that there are still 4 seconds left. At this time, everyone knows what should be done. Let the leading players stand up and solve the problem.

But some top players treat the ball as a hot potato, as if you don't pass it to me.

Even if it is passed to him, he will throw it out immediately.

Just like there were more than two seconds left in this game, Xue Liancheng threw the ball to Luol Deng.

This is a typical blame game.

Not going in?

That's my business, and it's not my iron, it won't lower my hit rate.

In?

Damn it! Awesome...I added another assist.

This kind of data brushing can also be called data brushing, but the brushing is not so obvious, and his data will accumulate very well even unconsciously.

That's right!

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

——Xue Liancheng.

Anyway, in his opinion, his assist record in this game is not commendable, nor is there anything to be proud of.

There were some passes, and he did pass them very well, allowing his teammates to get easy scoring opportunities.

And there are some passes that are purely a result of his teammates' incredible touch. Whatever he passes, his teammates will do the same.

Who does this make him talk to?

In addition, his shooting percentage is appalling, and now that O'Neal is talking about this record, he is quite embarrassed.

In this game, his performance can only be regarded as numb...

Excited?

Get excited!

Defeating the Rockets, killing the Hornets, and reversing the Eagles, in these games, his emotions were still up and down, and he was really excited at the time.

On the contrary, this time, even if it broke the record, he didn't think it was anything special.

O'Neill: "..."

at this time.

He only felt his brain buzzing, and he was suddenly stunned by the pattern.

It turned out that the data they were excitedly talking about was nothing to Xue Liancheng.

This made him feel awe, and his eyes when looking at Xue Liancheng changed slightly, "Xue, if you were in our era, I think you would also be a very good player."

In the 1990s and the beginning of the new century, data theory heroes were still common, but they were not as utilitarian and unscrupulous as they are now.

At that time, the team would directly call someone's team, or a team of a certain combination. The honor of the team was equivalent to the honor of the star himself. Going for victory.

Fans at that time also valued your performance on the field more than the statistics after the game.

Like Iverson, his shooting percentage was actually very miserable, just over 40%. In his peak years, he even had a shooting percentage of 38% to 39%, and his career only exceeded 46% in one season.

But it can still win the love of countless fans.

why?

Because of his unruly nature? Or is he a lone hero? Or is it his gorgeous style of play?

There are.

But the most important thing is Iverson's unyielding fighting spirit, perseverance and unyielding spirit, as well as his dominance of the game with his 183cm height, which broke people's prejudices. Who said this is a world for adults? Who says little guys can't play the game?

And most importantly, his hard work in the game is really not something that ordinary stars can compare with.

This is what an athlete should look like.

That's why people like it.

O'Neill compared Xue Liancheng to his era, which is actually a compliment.

But Xue Liancheng doesn't think so, "I am a very good player in any era."

O'Neill: "..."

After a pause, he realized with surprise that the question he most wanted to ask, the question that people were most concerned about, had already been passed over. After pondering for a moment, he could only pick some irrelevant questions and continue asking, "After such a long rest, What impact will it have on your own condition?”

Xue Liancheng shook his head, "The hand feeling is still quite affected, but I believe it will get better soon."

Excluding the 11% hitting three-pointer, he made 3 of 27 shots, a % shooting rate.

What the hell.

How can he have the nerve to say that he played well?

How can you get excited?

O'Neill: "What are the factors that can win this game?"

Xue Liancheng: "The teammates have a good touch. They can always run out of position and make some shots that should be scored."

O'Neill's question was a little boring, so he simply ended it: "Well, thank you for your answer, and I wish you a good night."

Xue Liancheng: "Thank you!"

Wearing a towel.

Leave.

Back to the locker room.

All the teammates were about to rush forward in a hurry. Obviously, they were very excited about Xue Liancheng setting a new record.

But Xue Liancheng really didn't care too much, especially when he saw Luol Deng's excited expression, for some reason, he even felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

You really deserve to die!

How dare you celebrate the military medals thrown out of the pot.

Looking at the corpse of Luo Er Deng who was stepped on by him, he was still happy for him.

It made him feel ashamed.

"Okay! Okay! Brothers, this is your credit. It is you who have brought this honor. You are the ones who should be congratulated."

Xue Liancheng stopped him immediately and said very sincerely.

Uncle Wei was stunned, "Xue, what's wrong with you?"

Something's wrong, little brother!

Xue Liancheng said, "I'm fine. I'm very happy to win the game and end my four-game losing streak."

Uncle Wei didn't give up: "It's nice to end the four-game losing streak, but you set a new record for assists in a rookie's single game! Do you know what this means?"

Xue Liancheng: "What?"

Uncle Wei: "It means you have left your name in the history of the NBA. This is a great achievement."

Xue Liancheng raised his head and thought for a moment, "Then should I laugh three times?"

Uncle Wei: "..."

Xue Liancheng said seriously, "Without your good touch and hot state, this record would have been impossible to complete, so I think you should be remembered."

All the teammates nodded slightly: These words are true.

Xue Liancheng added, "If we lose this game, then this record will not be an honor, but a shame, because when people mention it in the future, they will say: This record is so amazing! 27 assists, too much It’s amazing, hey, why did the team lose? They sent 27 assists and still lost the game. It’s so rubbish... It couldn’t have been a brush, right?”

This time.

The teammates couldn't laugh anymore.

Xue Liancheng continued, "So, winning the game is the most important thing, is that so?"

Uncle Wei stared at Xue Liancheng, his eyes changed slightly, "Xue, you are really different. It is my honor to be my teammate with you."

He has been in this league for more than ten years and has experienced all kinds of storms. In fact, his pursuit of data has been very indifferent.

But now that he is bearish, it does not mean that he was indifferent when he first entered the league.

It can even be said that at that time, his passion for data was no less than seeing a woman in undress.

Do not!

Not just him.

Most, or basically, everyone is crazy about chasing numbers when they first enter the NBA.

When some rookies score 30 points, they may have to celebrate and have fun.

I tell people everywhere: I scored 30 points, am I awesome?

As for Xue Liancheng, in his rookie season, he turned a blind eye to such a major record and believed that winning the game was the most important thing. This undoubtedly impressed him.

Even awe-inspiring.

This is the true competitive spirit.

The way the others looked at Xue Liancheng also changed!

Become respectful.

In fact.

They misunderstood classmates from Xiaocheng.

He is not that great, and he is not that greedy. He just feels that his performance is not very good, and the assist record is the credit of everyone. Especially when he sees Luol Deng, he feels guilty and feels sorry for his teammates. This record was created for him.

for data.

He is determined to get it. How can he get a big contract if he doesn't get it?How to enter the All-Stars?

But it is best to brush up some data without hurting the team and chasing victory. He feels it is very, very necessary.

As he said in the interview: In the face of victory, data stands aside.

Rather than thinking that data is not important.

That's pure nonsense.

Without data, where does he get his core status and a lot of ball rights now?

……

……

And at this time.

Major sports sections once again reported heavily on Xue Liancheng.

In the first game of his comeback, he not only helped the team win against the Grizzlies, who were second in the Western Conference, but also set a new record for assists in a single game by a rookie. His performance was perfect, and he deserved the title of the third giant.

For a moment, that was really unmatched!

FOX Sports once again put Xue Liancheng on the front page "Xue Liancheng made a strong comeback with a new single-game assist record for rookies, proving that he is worthy of his name as the third giant."

Not to disparage the rest of the Heat.

Let's look at a set of data first.

Without Xue Liancheng, the team has 3 wins and 8 losses, and is suffering a four-game losing streak.

With Xue Liancheng's game, a wave of nine consecutive victories started.

This is why everyone expects Xue Liancheng to return as the savior.

And Xue Liancheng lived up to expectations, he used his exquisite passing to win this precious victory without bloodshed.

Before facing the Grizzlies, the Heat were experiencing a four-game losing streak, their playoff spot was in jeopardy, and Spoelstra was under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

With only one more Xue Liancheng, they won the Memphis Grizzlies, the second place in the West.

This is the second place in the Western Conference. Before the start of the game, they only lost four games. No need to say how strong they are.

But they were still suppressed by the Heat from beginning to end. In the end, their home championship was broken and they lost this focus battle.

in the process.

The Heat were chased to only 1 point twice. When the situation was critical, it was Xue Liancheng who stepped forward and continuously used his vision and ability to read the game to open up the score again and hold back the Grizzlies' counterattack momentum.

Xue Liancheng's importance to the Heat is no less than that of Dwyane and Chris.

He is now the Heat's third giant, and I believe there is no doubt about it.

In this game, Xue Liancheng contributed a whopping 27 assists, breaking Ernie Gregorio's rookie single-game assist record and becoming the new record holder.

But that’s not what I want to focus on today.

It was Xue Liancheng's answer during the post-match interview.

O'Neal asked him: How are you feeling?

Xue Liancheng didn't have much expression and replied: Very beautiful.

O'Neal thought at the time that Xue Liancheng didn't know that he had set a new record, so he asked: Don't you know that you have completed a great record?

Xue Liancheng's answer was this: Yes, but this is just a statistic. In the face of victory, any statistics must be put aside. If the game is lost, then the so-called record is not worth mentioning. Only by helping the team win the game can we help the team win the game. is the most important thing. People who play for statistics will never be happy. I am glad that I am not such a person.

Listen...

This was Xue Liancheng's answer.

An answer that should have been normal for an athlete shocked me greatly.

victory.

This is the eternal pursuit of an athlete.

But many players have forgotten this. They only think about improving data and earning big contracts, ignoring the life and death of the team, and even doing things to hurt the team for the sake of data. Their desire for victory is almost zero.

I feel deeply sad that the spirit of sportsmanship has been wiped away bit by bit in this way.

The alliance has changed over the years, becoming utilitarian and less passionate.

If another player gets 27 assists, do you think he will jump?

I must have jumped up and down, couldn't help but say some words of thanks, and I am very proud of the famous people.

Look at Xue Liancheng again.

Even though he had 27 assists and set a new record for assists in a single game by a rookie, he was still as ordinary as water, which means that winning is the priority.

This is called not forgetting the original intention, this is what an athlete should be like.

On the road of chasing victory, he overcame obstacles, was desperate, put aside distracting thoughts, and only wanted to win the game.

Such a player is born great.

——Frank, FOX Sports.

Now Frank has become a reporter for "Xue Liancheng Column".

but.

This time, he changed his usual style.

No longer displaying the thrilling statistics, no longer marveling at how powerful Xue Liancheng is, even Xue Liancheng's record of assists in a rookie's single game was brushed aside.

Instead, they praised Xue Liancheng's sportsmanship and his unyielding fighting spirit to pursue victory, which immediately lifted Xue Liancheng's stalwart figure.

As soon as this report came out, it once again caused an uproar in Beichou.

Because this report satirized many current superstars who are born for data.

Fans of those superstars immediately took notice and scolded Frank for being a sycophant and a piece of trash with bad feet.

At the same time, he scolded Xue Liancheng for being hypocritical and pretentious. Some people even thought that Xue Liancheng had already celebrated in the locker room.

But more people gave Frank a thumbs up.

Simultaneously.

This report also gained Xue Liancheng countless fans.

A rookie can actually embody such a big pattern, and face this moment of writing history without changing his expression.

This undoubtedly attracted praise from those fans who look down on data brushing.

"Such players are born great" and "Victory is an athlete's eternal pursuit" have become Xue Liancheng's personal labels.

Yeah!

Only a player who abandons data, is unmoved by records, and pursues victory wholeheartedly can create the charm of sports competition.

Such a player is destined for greatness.
