NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 156 True colors revealed?

The result was not beyond Xue Liancheng's expectation.

The Heat ultimately lost the game.

And he lost miserably.

The final score was 84:106, and the Heat lost 22 points. This is their most lost game this season.

The first game after the trade was a slap in the face.

In the past, they were clocked out in three quarters, but now they never expected to be clocked out once by a team on the verge of the playoffs.

How rude...

Wade performed well, scoring 14 points and 7 assists on 20-of-7 shooting.

Xue Liancheng was completely lost in this game. He made 14 of 5 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a total of 15 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds, plus 7 turnovers, setting a career high. It was very miserable.

The hand feeling is not good, and he also encountered strict defense. Basically, he rushed in with the ball and would definitely be flanked.

In fact, it's not like he has never encountered this level of defense before, but there are always teammates who stand up!

Sean Williams, Luol Deng, and even Bosh, as well as Hamilton and Granger on the bench, are all three-point threats. They score one or two here and one or two there. Directly make the opponent's flanking strategy fail.

And today?

Everyone is in a mess...

Coupled with his unfamiliarity with his teammates and repeated mistakes, he became more cautious in passing the ball.

The more cautious you are, the harder the Pacers will clamp.

The more tightly guarded he is, the harder it will be for him to open up the situation.

In addition, there is also a Bosh who is out of the tactical system, dragging desperately, which completely messes up his offensive rhythm.

and so……

Only in this game did he perform at the level of a war criminal.

of course.

Bosh wasn't much better.

He made 21 of 7 shots, scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 turnovers. He was about the same as Xue Liancheng. It was also a shitty performance.

He took 6 three-point shots and only made 1. It felt really cold.

And most of his shots are basically singles, and at most he has two pick-and-rolls with Wade.

But the effect is naturally not as good as the pick-and-roll with Xue Liancheng.

Ironclad as hell...

新来的PJ-塔克只在篮下拿到2分，投篮是5中1，三分4中0，不过倒是抢了8个篮板。

Another newcomer, Marcus Morris, made 9 of 3 shots and scored 8 points. He also made 4 of 0 three-pointers.

Whiteside was not much better, shooting 6 of 2 from the field and was beaten to death by Hibbert at the basket. The most important thing is that he did not play his due role at all.

It's really miserable.

Except for Wade, everyone on the team is a traitor. With such a performance, it would be damned if they could win.

After the game.

There was no doubt a raging sea of ​​invective.

Twitter exploded.

Heat fans were the first to strike.

"It only takes one deal for a championship team to become weak."

"What a stupid move. I've never seen such a stupid operation. They actually gave away a quasi-All-Star player and a top shooter in exchange for two 4-for-0 rags."

"Riley is really full of shit."

"Anyone with a little bit of sanity will know that this deal is a loss of blood. I really don't understand. What do the Heat want to do?"

"Still competing for the championship? Let's go to sleep..."

"They are trading for reinforcements, but you are just trying to get two first-round draft picks. Are you dumbfounded now?"

"I'm disgusted by this. It's either a mistake or a single. What's the point of hoping for it? Let's go back to the drawing board and remake it."

"Does Bosh only know how to play singles? I'm so convinced."

"When these two bastards come on the scene, I get a toothache and can't stand it at all. My heart can't stand it when they take action."

Heat fans are quite tolerant of Xue Liancheng. After all, he is a rookie. You can't expect a rookie to carry him every game.

Therefore, they did not criticize Xue Liancheng too much. At most, they made suggestions, asking him to pay attention to his mistakes and find the right time when taking action.

The main focus is on complaining about the failure of this transaction, which is simply a self-destructive transaction.

The two newcomers and Bosh were sprayed beyond recognition.

Even Batum, who did not play, was also affected.

But Heat fans are tolerant of Xue Liancheng, which does not mean that the public is tolerant of Xue Liancheng.

"The supernova is magically absent, 14 of 5, and 7 turnovers"

"The magic failed, who made Xue Liancheng successful?" Is it Luol Deng or Shawn Williams? 》

"Big?Turned into a rejection today? "

"Xue Liancheng finally looks like a rookie"

The famous ESPN reporter Windhorst, who had been silent for half a century and never showed up, finally flew out of the shallow bay.

And it soars into the sky...

A direct compilation of the article "Xue Liancheng finally reveals his true face":

In past games, Xue Liancheng gave the public the impression that he was omnipotent and had excellent organization and offense.

But today.

He showed his true colors.

Do not……

It should be said that the magical color has begun to fade from the first two games.

Against the Memphis Grizzlies, Xue Liancheng scored 22 points, 7 assists, and even 11 rebounds.

But he made 22 of 8 shots and 6 of 1 three-pointers, which was extremely inefficient.

In the game against the Magic, he shot 18 of 8, and his efficiency was also not optimistic.

In this game, he completely showed his true colors, shooting 14 of 5 and 4 of 1 three-pointers. He only scored 15 points and made as many as 7 turnovers. The team suffered a 22-point defeat.

He was definitely responsible for the team's losses, no doubt about that.

Why do you say that?

There were as many as 7 turnovers, giving up the Heat's offensive opportunities in vain.

Inefficiency has left the team in deep trouble.

Even his best skill of organizing and passing the ball completely stalled.

He was a complete negative on the court.

The public has always questioned why he is not worthy of an All-Star.

This game has given the answer.

I watched a lot of his game videos, and after research, I found that he is not as strong as he looks.

His score seems to be terrifying, nearly 20+, but his scoring methods are pitiful.

And where did his scores come from?

First, free throws.

That's right.

His method of creating fouls is first-rate, and it is also the kind of foul that actively seeks physical contact and puts someone on his arm. It is similar to another player in the league, James Harden, and is very disgusting.

The second is his three points.

I have to say that his three-pointers are really good. Since entering the NBA, he has never missed a shot. He can make at least one three-pointer in every game. I have to admit that his three-pointers are indeed excellent.

And he is very smart and knows how to use the cover of his teammates to shoot some open balls. Especially when Wade is holding the ball, he can always find some open opportunities.

Besides.

His other scoring method is to break through.

He has an absolute strength advantage, which makes his breakthrough unfavorable. Without assistance, he can crush most point guards. It must be admitted that he is very strong.

but.

Once he encounters a flank attack, his breakthrough efficiency is basically zero.

why?

Because he usually passes the ball out, which is why his assists seem so high.

Therefore, he has always scored some very easy scores.

Runs outside the three-point line and occasionally shoots two three-pointers.

When breaking through, use physical contact and game rules to force fouls and get to the free throw line.

When breaking through, take advantage of your size to steal one or two before the other party's pincer attack arrives.

That's how he plays, and that's his entire scoring structure.

And once his three-pointer feels bad, and the breakthrough encounters a pincer attack, at this time, it is time to test the touch of his teammates.

Once his teammates' touch fails, he cannot stand up to solve the problem and lead the team out of the quagmire.

This game demonstrated this point vividly.

and so.

Does such a player deserve to be an All-Star?

Believe me.

This is just the beginning.

Once other teams see through Xue Liancheng's routine, it will be extremely difficult for him.

and also……

Here, I want to remind the head coaches of other teams that if you want to win, you must contain Xue Liancheng.

Containing Xue Liancheng is actually very simple, and the Indiana Pacers have already given the answer.

……

As soon as this tweet came out, it immediately aroused huge heated discussion.

"Damn...you're so well researched!"

"Can you not study it? If you don't study the way to contain Xue Liancheng, he will lose his job."

"Haha... I guess you figured it out because you couldn't sleep at night and studied it day and night, right?"

"What's Xue Liancheng's data now?"

"It's probably like 20+9+4."

"January is coming soon, everything is in time, Xue Liancheng should hit the rookie wall."

"So, just by flanking Xue Liancheng and betting on the skills of the rest of the Heat, the Heat can die without a place to die?"

"Then it looks like the Heat are over!"

"No...it's Frank from FOX Sports who's done."

"Frank: I'm shaking."

……

After the game against the Pacers.

The Heat had another three days of rest, but during these three days, everyone was in a very low mood and no one felt relaxed.

The team's loss in the first game after the trade put them on the cusp. Who dares to relax?

What's more.

Spoelstra did not let everyone relax. He practiced tactics every day and cultivated the team members' tacit understanding.

But just practicing is useless, you have to test it on the field.

3 number.

They traveled to Houston to challenge the Rockets.

Batum is finally ready to play.

But the Heat once again suffered a heavy hammer, with blood splattering everywhere.

Trailing by 18 points again at halftime, the Heat were directly taken away by a wave of flow in the third quarter. They were clocked out again in the third quarter and suffered a nearly 86-point massacre at 115:30.

Spoelstra on the sidelines was stunned for a while.

He didn't expect that his team would lose so miserably.

Really.

Xue Liancheng didn't expect it either.

The Heat looked like a kindergarten kid who was beaten to death by the Rockets.

This game was uneventful, from start to finish.

The only thing worth mentioning is that at the end of the half, Spoelstra replaced Bosh.

Bosh walked off the court cursing and even yelled at Spoelstra. He returned to the sidelines and kicked the bench twice while still chattering.

This scene was perfectly captured by the camera.

After the game, the generals were at loggerheads and the entire sports sector was massacred.

Xue Liancheng's performance was as bad as ever, but compared to the previous game, it was slightly better.

11投4中，三分6中2，拿到了13分，还有5助攻3篮板，失误只有4次。

Rockets coach McHale really implemented the suggestion of Wen Horst's tweet and strictly guarded Xue Liancheng.

As long as he breaks through, he will be faced with all kinds of crazy attacks, which leaves him with not many chances to take action.

So he can only pass the ball.

As a result, I was really struck by a language.

The Heat's shooters still feel cold.

PJ Tucker once again contributed 0 eggs from three points.

Batum scored one three-pointer, but he didn't play much time and didn't take many shots.

Marcus Morris' three-pointer was also hard to describe, 5 of 1.

韦德三分3中0，不过整体11中5，还是拿到了15分。

Bosh was once again unable to extricate himself in a solo battle. He made 14 of 3 shots and only scored a pitiful 8 points. His state was terrible.

He made 5 of 0 three-pointers, and also got zero eggs.

The Heat made 24 of 6 three-pointers as a whole, and their shooting percentage was a miserable 26%.

On the other hand, the Rockets.

30 of 13 three-pointers, 43.3% shooting rate, ample offensive space was released.

Harden scored 28 points in three quarters, Howard had 23 points and 13 rebounds, Motiejunas had 13 points, and Beverley had 10 points.

Among the starters, only Ariza was weak, scoring 5 points on 1 of 2 shots.

But there are hair ties to help!

Josh Smith had 12 points and 7 rebounds, Brewer had 11 points, and Jason Terry had 10 points.

He lost completely and had no power to fight back.

That night.

The Heat were once again trending on Twitter.

Two consecutive losses after the trade, in fact, this is nothing.

The main reason is that the loss is so ugly and miserable!

They don't have the style of a top team at all, they have no power to fight back, and they're just a slap on the head when someone grabs them.

The abuse and ridicule ensued.

The newly joined trio were almost scolded and smoked in their ancestral graves.

of course.

Riley was the one who was scolded the most.

A good lineup of champions, made it look like this, who do not scold you?

And Xue Liancheng can't be alone.

Wen Horst's tweet was further verified.

As long as he is resolutely double-teamed and the defense is faster, the Heat will be useless.

Xue Liancheng was also abolished.

What makes the Heat even more precarious is that Bosh's gaffe was captured by the camera, which directly exposed the Heat's internal conflicts to the public.

Everyone feels that this Heat is over.

Fighting for the championship?

It's simply not possible.

But the Heat didn't have time to face these things. They flew back to Miami without stopping.

That's right.

They need to meet the Nets' challenge back-to-back.

It really echoes the old saying that the house leaks happen to rain all night.

It doesn't matter if it rains, at least no one will die, but it will if it rains.

In this game, the Nets didn't know what kind of medicine they took, but they all felt amazing and made all kinds of difficult shots.

finally.

They lost again 84:96.

Although it didn't look ugly, it has already lost three times in a row!

They can't even beat the Nets' senior team.

That feeling of helplessness cannot be described in words.

Wade exploded in this game, scoring 16 points on 10 of 31 shots, but he still couldn't lead the team to win.

Xue Liancheng made 13 of 6, and his efficiency finally recovered. He scored 17 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. He also controlled the turnovers, with only 2.

But the team still lost.

Because there is a big sinkhole in the team - Chris Bosh, who made 22 of 6 shots, can no longer be described as miserable.

Even Wade couldn't bear it and asked Bosh for the ball directly during the game.

Otherwise, the Heat may lose even more miserably.

When the mentality is unbalanced, what good touch can be achieved? When the shot cannot be made, the more Bosh wants to prove himself, and the more he wants to prove himself, the less he can make the shot.

Back and forth.

The damage to the team is even greater.

A three-game losing streak directly caused the Heat, which was at its peak, to slide like a rocket crashing.

"Riley Ruined the Heat's Championship Lineup" rushed to the hot search again.

Xue Liancheng's heart was heavy.

If it were anyone else, they might not be in the mood to train.

But he still stayed in the arena.

Wen Horst's tweet, he read it.

Really hits home with him.

and so.

He must make changes and pick up the mid-range that he was once good at.

That's why he's in the gym.

And that night.

Spoel came to Riley's house as a guest.

After meal.

The two came to the office.

Riley asked expressionlessly, "Can you tell me what the reason is?"

Spoelstra gritted his teeth and looked up at Riley, "Chris is unwilling to integrate into the team system. He wants more roles."

Riley was silent for a long time, and asked, "Is there any room for redemption?"

Spoelstra, "It should be gone. During the game against the Rockets, he yelled at me: You ruined the team."

Riley was silent for a long time. "Chris still has the ability, but there is something wrong with his mentality. Is it possible to put things right and get him back to the rhythm of the game he likes?"

Spoel was stunned for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "If that's the case, it's hard for us to hope for a championship."

Riley frowned: "You are throwing me a big problem. If Chris is moved, then the new Big Three Heat will completely cease to exist. Whether they can still form combat effectiveness in the future is a huge problem. .”

Shiba was silent.

He doesn't know the importance of Bosh.

But the problem is that Bosh is already challenging his authority and messing up the team's offensive rhythm.

If he doesn't change, then he is the one who should change.

That's right!

Now it’s a matter of choosing between the two.

Otherwise...Bosh leaves.

Otherwise...it's time for him to leave.

Especially after Bosh roared at him, they had actually reached an incompatible situation with no room for redemption.

Taking a deep breath, Sipo said heavily, "If you choose him, then... I think I should go."

Riley was silent for a long time and then said, "Xue Liancheng is really that good? Is he so favored by you?"

Spoelstra nodded repeatedly, "He is still just a rookie, but he has already scored 20+9+4. This is something that few people have achieved in history. I think his future will be hard to disappoint."

Riley nodded, "That's true, but did you read Wenhorst's tweet? What do you want to say?"

Spoelstra smiled, "All his theories are based on the poor touch of his teammates. Do you think this can be established?"

Riley also smiled, "That's right, it can't be that the hand feels bad all the time..."

Spall, "So...sir, it's time to make a choice."

Riley shook his head, "Chris is different from Luo Er, please let me think about it again."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Si Bo said.

But he sighed heavily in his heart, and the bitterness kept rising.

Star players are ultimately more important than a head coach like him.

Even if he has proven himself.
