NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 127 Is he qualified to compare with me?

Technical statistics.

Uncle Wei played mediocre this time, scoring only 20 points with 0 assists, and only 17 of 7 shots, which is not ideal.

However, there were several critical moments that helped the team stabilize the situation and play the role that the team leader should have.

In this game, Luol Deng was able to wash away his past decline. He scored 14 points and 7 rebounds on 18-of-10 shooting. He performed very well.

Ok……

In the absence of Bo Erye, Luol Deng scored a double-double instead.

Then the problem is coming.

The previous performance was extremely sluggish, who is to blame?

Sean Williams once again scored double figures with 11 points. Since Xue Liancheng came back, this guy has woken up again.

Anderson also scored 12 points and 8 rebounds. He played an important role in this game and began to taste the sweetness of eating cake.

However, because of the incompatibility when he was on the court with Uncle Wei, the playing time was actually not too much, only 23 minutes.

Xue Liancheng's playing time in this game exceeded 33 minutes. However, with the foreshadowing of the previous three games, the so-called limited playing time has basically become a formality.

Efficiently scored 14 points and 8 assists on 23 of 9 shots, a quasi-double-double.

The stats are good, but they don't reflect his full value.

Without him breaking down the Bulls' defensive system, this game would have been really difficult.

Bulls side.

邓利维22分，吉布森18分9篮板，螺丝14中6拿到14分，大加索尔低迷只拿到10分。

Butler made 12 of 4 shots and only scored 10 points. He was quite sluggish, especially after competing with Xue Liancheng, his condition was completely lost.

If the role players hadn't stepped up, the Bulls might have lost more.

With a wave of four consecutive victories, the Heat's record has reached 16 wins and 8 losses, once again regaining the momentum of a top team.

After the game.

The reporter asked this question: "Since your comeback, the team has achieved an impressive record of four consecutive victories. Do you think Miami is now the top team in the league?"

Xue Liancheng: "Without a doubt."

Reporter: "Butler has grown into the new leader of the Bulls. What is your evaluation of this new star?"

This is an issue that people are very concerned about.

Because both of them are new stars emerging this season.

Butler started off the bench, and after three seasons of dormancy, he began to shine this season, averaging 20+ per game, and has already entered the ranks of stars.

The new star Xue Liancheng is even more adorable. As soon as he stepped into the league, he quickly gained a foothold and grew into the third giant in the eyes of the fans with lightning speed.

The two will become rivals for a long time.

So everyone wants to know very much, what do the two people look like in each other's eyes? Who is stronger?

Xue Liancheng: "He is great, but his art of trash talking is even better. He can make you drool all over. What I need to do is to show my performance and take away the victory of the game. This is my response."

The reporter's eyes lit up, but he was still not satisfied: "In this game, you spent a lot of time facing each other, and you were a little entangled with each other. Did his defense cause you any trouble?"

Xue Liancheng: "His defense is very tough, trouble? Some, but not much."

He was forced to use pick-and-rolls to initiate offense. You can imagine how strong Butler's defense is.

He had to admit this.

But that's it, he doesn't want to duel with Butler.

There is indeed trouble, but not much...

After the pick-and-roll, Butler can immediately deflate the audience.

Reporter: "Who do you think is the better person between you and him?"

When Xue Liancheng heard this, he cursed in his heart, why are you digging a hole for me?

But he hardly hesitated: "There is no doubt that if you play basketball, that person must be me, and if you spit, it must be him."

He is not afraid of offending Butler.

Although Butler is very manly, it does not prevent Xue Liancheng from hating this big mouth.

Reporter: "The Christmas War is coming soon. What do you think will happen then?"

Xue Liancheng glanced at the exaggerated plastic-butt female reporter in front of him strangely, and rolled his eyes, "How did I know..."

……

……

With the Heat's four-game winning streak, the outside world has once again focused its attention on Miami.

Many media said that this was Xue Liancheng's contribution.

Because Xue Liancheng has never lost since he played this season.

On the other hand, when Wade and Bosh are absent, the team can occasionally win one or two games, but it can't do it without Xue Liancheng.

This shows the importance of Xue Liancheng to the Miami Heat.

Some small media have even shouted the slogan that Xue Liancheng is the Heat's number one giant.

of course.

These voices were not supported by the public.

Because anyone who has watched the game knows that Xue Liancheng is indeed very good at passing the ball, organizing, responding, creating space for teammates, and even making long passes.

But the offensive means are relatively poor.

In addition to pushing horizontally to break through, he also shoots three-pointers.

Apart from these two offensive methods that guarantee scoring, the others are lackluster, such as low posts, backs, breakthrough skills, hooks, small throws, mid-range...

The mid-range was demonstrated in this game, but it is not a conventional scoring method.

Even almost equal to zero

Besides.

No more.

Uh……

There seems to be another one, and that is drawing fouls.

In terms of free throws, Xue Liancheng is an elite among the elite, a bit following the trend of those top players.

Apart from this, there is really nothing else.

With just a few stable scoring methods, it would be too difficult to say that he is the number one player.

Wade, except for his defensive counterattacks, fast breaks and cuts to the basket to finish, all his other scoring goals are to stand up when the team cannot open up the situation and use his super personal ability to change the trend of the game. .

Obviously, Xue Liancheng is far from having such ability.

of course.

Sometimes there are.

When other teammates are feeling relatively good, he can use breakthroughs to tear apart the defense and pass the ball to open up the situation.

But the problem is, you have to wait for your teammates to feel good.

Teammates feel bad, no matter how good your pass is, it will be in vain.

and so……

This actually becomes a metaphysics.

It doesn't depend on himself. The most he can do is create a more comfortable shooting space for his teammates.

In one sentence, Xue Liancheng can play a huge role in regular time, and Wade is the one who leads the team out of trouble.

in this way.

It is already clear who is the boss of the team.

The disturbances from the outside world have failed to stop the Heat from moving forward.

16 number.

They face the Brooklyn Nets away from home.

A while ago, they had played against each other once, but at that time only Bo Erye led the team alone, and finally lost 90:93.

this time.

Xue Liancheng and Uncle Wei both returned, but Uncle Bo is gone, but everyone knows that the Nets cannot stop the Heat.

The result of the game was no surprise.

107:91

The Heat used an overwhelming offense to flatten Brooklyn.

Or in other words, the Nets' poor offense made them unable to fight back.

Xue Liancheng had 16 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds. The flat and fast trumpet was close to a triple-double, leading the team all the way and finally defeated the Nets.

This is the first time since he entered the league that he has had more rebounds than assists.

What does this indicate?

It shows that there is something wrong with his condition.

In terms of shooting, he shot 15 of 6, which is terrible.

The reason why there are only 7 assists, uh... is actually quite a lot, but in fact, he contributed 4 assists in the first quarter, and only 3 in the remaining three quarters. The quality of the ball passed dropped sharply.

of course.

The most important thing is that the fat little Deron Williams can actually beat him. The bottom plate is very stable and the upper plate is very powerful, which makes his breakthrough not so easy.

He finally understood the saying: Beat Paul after eating and sleeping.

Deron Williams has his own way of guarding power defenders or post-up defenders. He especially likes physical contact and consumes your physical energy.

After the weight soared, Deron Williams would have an advantage.

But it's not a big problem.

Because Uncle Wei has recovered, he contributed 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Facing the Nets senior group, he went in and out effortlessly.

Luol Deng also continued his outstanding performance, scoring 18 points in this game, and also had 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Needless to say, Luol Deng is still very capable in singles, making Joe Johnson almost shut down.

But why did it perform so poorly before?

A conclusion can be drawn from this.

——It’s none of his business.

Maybe……

Is it because Luol Deng and Bo Erye are incompatible?

of course.

This was Xue Liancheng's wild guess.

after all.

Both of them are singles players. Bo Erye only learned to shoot after he came to the Heat.

Luol Deng's ability to catch and shoot the ball is also very common.

Both of them need to find their own offensive rhythm and then use technology to complete the finish.

So... it's most likely because the two people's positions overlap.

After beating the Nets, the Heat won five games in a row and regained their momentum. They emerged like a menacing beast in the Eastern Conference, making other teams frightened.

But it was just a night of fear.

Returned to home court the next day and faced the Jazz back-to-back.

It was the Western Conference that they had cleaned up a few days ago, but they actually cut the Heat into pieces at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

The sewer has capsized.

The Heat lost the game 91:105, which was shocking.

Don't say it.

Even Xue Liancheng didn't know why they lost.

The most terrifying thing is that they lost the game when superstar Dwyane Wade broke out.

Maybe because of back to back?

Maybe it's because he underestimated the enemy?

Maybe it's because other people are really in no condition?

Anyway, the Heat's overall shooting percentage was only 38.6%, 70 of 27, which is simply outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that Uncle Wei only made 12 shots, leaving so many people to share 15 goals.

Xue Liancheng shot 11 of 4, which was very dismal and only scored 11 points.

There are also 3 assists, which is also bleak, a season low.

His teammates had no sense of touch and were completely wasting his expression.

Other than that, the performance is a little eye-catching.

Luol Deng scored 6 points on 3 of 8 shots.

Birdman Anderson scored 6 points and 3 rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting.

There are 5 goals left and 0 role player points, either 1 or 7. The most is Sean Williams' 2 for . He really played like a piece of shit.

But Uncle Wei shot 19 of 12 and scored 42 points, but he still couldn't turn the tide.

The team only had 10 assists, which is ridiculously low.

After this bad news ends.

The Heat's record has reached 17 wins and 9 losses, which is not bad. They are one of the absolute strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

From this point of view, it doesn't hurt if the boat capsizes occasionally.

After all, we have to give other teams a way to survive!

rest for a day.

They will continue to face the Washington Wizards at American Airlines Arena.

The two teams have met twice.

The first time was in the opening game, when the Wizards were hung up and beaten severely.

but.

At that time, Bill, the Wizards' backcourt double star, was sidelined due to injury, and the lineup was not complete.

On the contrary, the Heat's new Big Three are all here. Looking back with the benefit of hindsight, it is actually not surprising at all that the entire Heat lineup hung up the Wizards and beat them up.

The second match was when Xue Liancheng was injured, that is, during the four-game losing streak, the Heat were hanged up by the Wizards and beaten severely.

Uncle Wei and Mr. Bo were both there, but they still couldn't stop the combination of the two stars in the backcourt, and suffered a 20-point defeat.

It's game three.

Mr. Bo has decided to call a truce.

In other words, only Uncle Wei and Xue Liancheng led the team to face the complete Wizards.

At this time, the Wizards came with a wave of five consecutive victories. The current record is 18 wins and 6 losses, and the momentum is booming.

It's hard to say who wins and who loses.

After all, the Heat's record of 17 wins and 9 losses is not bad. Although the gutter capsized in the last game, they also had a five-game winning streak before, and their strength should not be underestimated.

What is particularly interesting is the duel between Wall and Xue Liancheng, two new generation point guards.

of course.

The duel between Bill and Wade, two shooting guards who alternate between old and new, also attracted public attention, but there is still a clear gap between the two. Wade is still a superstar, but Bill is just a rising star. Not on the same level.

On the other hand, the point guard double stars Xue Liancheng and Wall are extremely close, similar in height, similar in strength, and similar in statistics, so people look forward to it.

In the opening game, Xue Liancheng played against Wall, but at that time, Xue Liancheng was just a rookie, which was not enough to compare with Wall, who averaged close to 20+10 points per game. Naturally, no one paid attention to it.

Time passes.

Just over a month later, the two people's data were extremely close.

As of the game, Xue Liancheng had played in 15 games, averaging 18.8 points, 9.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game, shooting 50.4% from the field and 41.8% from three-point range.

If it weren't for his extremely unstable state after his comeback and the fact that he clocked out in three quarters, his data would have been even better.

But even so, Xue Liancheng, as the team's third choice, is still at the All-Star level, very, very good.

Wall, on the other hand, has appeared in 24 games this season, averaging 18.1 points, 9.9 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. His shooting percentage is 45.3%, but his three-point shooting is poor, only a little over 30%.

Both of them are at the 18+9 level, and their team records are also close. They are both young people with a bright future.

even……

The two are potential candidates for the No. 1 spot at point guard in the future.

A true competitor!

but.

The two have very different styles.

Wall is a guard known for being fast, and can even be said to be the fastest player ever in the NBA.

——The speed of draft testing is the fastest ever.

The breakthrough is very sharp, the explosive power is amazing, he can often pass people in one step, and he also has a stable mid-range shot. The combination of these is enough to make him unfavorable on the offensive end.

But there are also shortcomings.

The three-point shot is extremely poor and unstable, not much different from Uncle Wei.

In addition, he is good at timing passes, has broad vision, first-class passing awareness, and is willing to pass the ball. He is a selfless player.

This aspect is very similar to Xue Liancheng.

To sum up, Wall is a player based on speed talent. His offensive method is breakthrough, and only breakthrough.

Even most of the assists come from points after breakthroughs.

Xue Liancheng's offensive mode is exactly the opposite of Wall's.

Pushing people inward, he has an obvious strength advantage. Although his explosive power is insufficient, his finishing ability at the basket is pretty good. His main focus is a slow-paced force reduction.

But Xue Liancheng's three-pointers were very accurate, and no one dared to let him go easily.

His assist method is also different.

To be precise, it's quite complicated.

Long pass, pass after fast break, counterattack and pass, cover and pass, pass to teammate for air cut, breakthrough and pass, block and pass, cooperation and pass, feed...

To sum up, as long as his teammates have a chance, he can accurately deliver the ball to his teammates.

And it is precisely because of the different styles of the two that they can collide with different sparks that make people full of expectations.

The duel between the two has been pre-heated on TV for a long time, and it can be said that it has attracted much attention.

The Washington Wizards flew to Miami one day in advance. As soon as they arrived at the hotel door, a large number of reporters rushed up.

The target of the interview was naturally Wall: "John, the game starts tomorrow. How much do you know about your opponent Xue Liancheng?"

Wall kept his eyes straight: "I don't have to understand my opponent. If I must understand, others must understand me."

Upon hearing this, the reporters became excited.

How arrogant!

Reporter: "He has performed amazingly this season. What is your evaluation of him?"

Wall said coldly, "I told you, I don't understand him."

The reporter was not willing to give up, and continued to ask: "Do you think you will become the peerless twins of the Eastern Conference point guards, the enemies of life?"

Wall: "Huh... a lifelong enemy? Come on, he is just a rookie. I feel like you are insulting me."

The reporter became even more excited: "But his statistics this season are almost the same as yours. Don't you worry at all that he will blow you up?"

Wall narrowed his eyes: "Beat me? Is he qualified to compare with me?"

Oops...

The reporters swarmed forward like sharks that smelled blood.

Reporter: "John, are you serious? He is the third giant of the Heat. He has shown amazing energy and has repeatedly performed wonderfully. So far, he has averaged 18.8 points, 9.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. That's all. Not enough to compare with you?"

Wall: "When he becomes the boss, you can compare me with him, okay?"

The topic ends here.

But reporters were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves and flocked to the American Airlines Arena.
