NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 211 Regret

Madison Square Garden.

This is the All-Star Game.

Xue Liancheng sat off the court, staring blankly at the star players having fun on the court, his thoughts already flying three thousand miles away.

It stands to reason that this kind of fun exhibition game should not have any effect on Golden Thigh.

But after all, the All-Star MVP is considered a small honor, and he felt that he should try to win it no matter what.

result.

Mud...

Budenholzer didn't know whether it was revenge or something, but he pushed him to the bench.

He only played ten minutes in the first half and then sat off the court. Now in the fourth quarter, Budenholzer still has no intention of letting him play.

Dog fucked...

He hasn't even held a grudge yet.

Budenholzer actually took this opportunity to suppress him, which was really shameless.

In this situation, the All-Star MVP doesn't need to think about it, but what he can't accept is that as the top All-Star vote-getter, he actually sits on the bench.

This should have been done intentionally by Budenholzer, in order to avenge that shocking reversal...

but……

What can he do?

Nothing can be done at all.

Who made the Heat only rank second in the Eastern Conference before the All-Star Game?

With the Eagles at the top of the Eastern Conference, Budenholzer will undoubtedly become the head coach of the All-Star Game.

Whoever the head coach wants to play can play.

Even if the head coach doesn't let him play, there's nothing he can do.

of course.

It could also be related to James.

When he and James were present at the same time, the atmosphere was awkward.

Basically, if you don’t pass the ball to me, I won’t pass the ball to you. Even if I pass the ball, I won’t pick it up. We won’t call each other. It’s boring to watch them both.

It's really a bit of substituting the hatred on the field into the individual, turning it into a personal grievance.

This is also impossible.

Anyway, Xue Liancheng felt that he had nothing to say to James.

As for what James thinks?

Probably worse than that.

Because in one round, Xue Liancheng rushed to the basket and was flanked. The dynamic in his mind showed that someone was absolutely open, so he subconsciously threw it back.

result……

That person is none other than me, Emperor James.

This guy didn't even catch it and let the ball roll back to half court.

When he looked back and saw this scene, he almost burst into laughter.

James comes across as very sincere and has a high EQ and IQ. There are brothers everywhere in the league, but he has never treated his competitors as enemies like today.

Isn't this a wonder of the world?

It also illustrates a problem from the side: James can't pretend anymore.

It's really inappropriate for him.

It's not right from the bottom of my heart...

And because of the estrangement between the two, the East Star team's offense was not smooth. Even in an exhibition game, they played like shit. At the end of halftime, they trailed the West Star team by 18 points.

In order to maintain the excitement of the All-Star Game, Budenholzer decided to win one of the two.

Between James and him, Budenholzer chose to take him down without hesitation.

That's probably what happened.

Although very unhappy.

But there’s nothing wrong with that.

Who makes James the best in the league?

Even if James was fucked twice by him, even if James is facing all kinds of doubts and criticisms.

But James is still the face of the league.

at this point……

For a while, it cannot be shaken.

Unless in the playoffs, he can still beat James as always, and even walk over the Cavaliers' corpse.

in this way……

It can shake James' dominance, shake James' foundation, and make James' reputation as the number one player in the league crumbling.

But now, it's still far away...

Out of boredom.

He thought again of what Zhuang Yan said to him.

Buy a team and work hard to build yourself.

If you don’t have money, you can raise funds.

Players cannot buy the team, so they can do so through private agreements with domestic relatives.

in this way.

All problems will not be a problem.

But it takes time to work.

Especially in terms of raising money, although Zhuang Yan is very good at raising funds, raising hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars is definitely not easy.

For a while, Zhuang Yan probably didn't have such great magical powers.

Anyway, just wait.

The idea is like this, and the plan is like this. See when the opportunity comes and the time is ripe, and then take action in one fell swoop.

There is no need for him to worry about it anyway, he will naturally not object.

He is now...

Do not……

It should be said that from beginning to end, he only needs to do one thing well, and that is to play basketball well.

This is the basis.

The better he played, the greater his influence, and the faster Zhuang Yan pulled funds.

Establishing a brokerage company and injecting capital into the media will help you package yourself more smoothly.

on the contrary.

If he played in a mess, all his imagination would become phantom bubbles, useless.

The premise of everything lies in his performance on the field.

In a moment of random thoughts.

The All-Star Game has also come to an end.

He has not played since.

The result was the same as the historical trajectory. The Eastern Stars lost the game 155:163.

Westbrook became the star among stars, scoring 41 points and winning the All-Star MVP.

During this period, Westbrook was indeed at his peak. So far, he has become the league's scoring leader with an average of 28.3 points per game.

Xue Liancheng only played ten minutes, making 3 of 2 shots, scoring 5 points, 3 assists, and 1 turnover.

It can be described as doing nothing.

of course.

This All-Star weekend, he was not without gains.

He got a bunch of people's contact information.

I met the top star players in the league and got to know them officially.

……

……

The All-Star Tour is over.

Xue Liancheng returns to Miami for training.

This time Si Bo didn't say anything.

But Xue Liancheng clearly felt that there was an invisible horizontal bar between the two, which hindered the closeness between them.

Don't know why...

It just felt that way.

and……

This feeling is also particularly obvious.

Randy Fender and Riley didn't look for him again.

The contract renewal matter passed like a gust of wind, and it seemed as if it had never happened...

Calm has returned to the Heat team, and they are doing what they need to do step by step.

It's outside.

It became very exciting.

The trade deadline is approaching, and the rumors are buzzing one after another.

In the hours before the trade deadline, many teams pressed the trade button, and the shells came one after another.

The first is the Timberwolves, who sent Thaddeus Young in exchange for Garnett of the Nets.

The return of the Wolf King to Minnesota can be regarded as returning to the roots, and he was respected by his old club at the end of his career.

A storm of emotions blew up.

At this point, Riley is a complete asshole.

Wade's contribution to Miami is so extraordinary that he doesn't get the slightest bit of respect.

On the contrary, like Garnett, although the ink left by the Timberwolves is heavy enough, it is not comparable to Wade's contribution to the Heat.

result.

Garnett was treated favorably.

Wade, on the other hand, was driven home and abroad, to put it harshly, was chased around like a stray dog, and finally suffered Riley's ultimate humiliation.

It can be described as the biggest failure of his career.

none of them.

No first player in team history has ever been treated like this by his own team.

Wade also set a new record.

Then came the Trail Blazers, who sent Will Barton, Clover, Thomas Robinson, and returned Aaron Afflalo and Alonzo Key from the Nuggets.

This deal is the Blazers' last resort.

Some remedies were made for the failed attempt after sending out to Batum.

However, Afflalo's offensive power is very strong and is definitely a huge complement to the Trail Blazers' backcourt.

Then came a blockbuster deal.

The Bucks sent Knight and acquired McCaway from the numbers man. This was a gamble made by Kidd.

It is also seen as making way for Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks have completely established Antetokounmpo as the core.

The transaction caused quite a stir.

Because this is a four-party deal involving the core backcourts of several teams.

The subject of the transaction is: the Bucks send Knight and get McCaway.

The Suns sent Dragic, Thomas, and Plumlee to get Knight, Thornton and two draft picks.

The Celtics sent Thornton and draft picks to get Thomas and Plumlee.

The digital man sent McCaway and draft picks in exchange for Dragic.

Originally, according to historical trajectory, Dragic was going to be sold to the Heat in a big sale.

but.

Now the Heat's star player is Xue Liancheng, and the point guard position cannot be moved, so there is no point in trading Dragic.

Dragic has been clamoring to leave, and his contract has expired, so the Suns simply gave him away.

In this way, the Suns have undergone a major change.

But the backcourt combination of Knight + Bledsoe is still very exciting. With the addition of Luol Deng, Markieff Morris and others, it seems that there is some progress.

But it didn't work out well, because Luol Deng could never return to the 18+6 level.

However, in order to get Dragic, the digital man actually paid a draft pick, which was very surprising.

It's not a strange thing to be willing to give away draft picks after a bad team.

The Celtics got the strongest 175, and they are about to hit it in the future.

And Prince returned to the palace. Prince, once one of the Five Tigers of the Pistons, officially returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills.

And the Thunder sent Reggie Jackson in exchange for Austin, etc...

……

The two hours before the trade deadline were breathtaking and exciting.

Depth charges were reported frequently.

But none of it has much to do with the Heat.

Because the Heat should trade, they have already traded.

The entire lineup has no obvious shortcomings.

Both ends of the offense and defense are balanced and strong, able to play both inside and outside, with strong inside players and top outside players, as well as offensive players and a big heart to kill the game.

On the bench, there are also three strong players who can serve as starters: Chalmers, Batum, and Marcus Morris.

It can be said……

This lineup is already quite perfect.

And after this period of running-in, they have begun to show their sharpness and can kill with their swords.

The 17-game winning streak is proof of that.

Such results are enough to prove that they are one of the biggest winners in this season's transactions.

Can you not win?

After throwing away the big burden of Bosh and ushering in the defensive core Gasol, they were simply numb to win.

What they need to do now is wait for Wade to return to the team.

So……

They can prepare for the playoffs.

……

……

The day after the trade deadline.

The Heat finally played their first game after the All-Star break, heading to Madison Square Garden to challenge the Knicks.

On this day, New York fans were extraordinarily enthusiastic.

When Xue Liancheng appeared at the ceremony, he clearly felt that the sound of the DJ's call was both exciting and warm.

The entire audience stood up and shouted MVP.

Xue Liancheng was confused for a while.

For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.

The game hasn't even started yet, and you're already calling him MVP as soon as he comes out?

Moreover, he also called the opponent player the MVP, which is obviously something wrong.

But he reacted quickly.

That was a rumor about the Heat offering 5 million over five years, which caused many teams to feel that an irreparable rift had appeared between him and the Heat.

amount……

Not really.

In fact, this is what is true.

The New York fans cheered so hard for only one purpose, and that was to recruit him in advance to the Big Apple, the capital of the world.

Figure this out.

Xue Liancheng suddenly felt a little funny.

He couldn't remember where he had seen such a message, which said that New York fans are the most fickle fans in the world. They can praise you to the sky one second and boo you to death the next second.

Marbury, Anthony and other stars are nothing more than this.

And according to unscientific statistics, Madison Square Garden is the home court with the most serious defections in the NBA.

Boo your own players and cheer for your opponents at every turn.

but……

New York fans are the most die-hard fan group in the NBA.

The New York Knicks are also the most influential NBA team, if not one.

It can be seen from the fact that it is so bad and every venue is packed.

New York fans' love for the Knicks is very deep.

And New York fans are also the cutest fans in the world.

That’s really scolding an opponent who has a grudge!

Curse to death.

The mayor of New York playing Yang is a clear proof of this.

This guy just eliminated the Knicks in the playoffs, which had not been in the series for many years. He made a few provocative moves and was chased and scolded by New York fans.

The kind of person who scolds you for three years...

Falkchuyang and the mayor of New York have since become famous.

One can imagine how powerful their fighting power is.

And now, in order to recruit a super star who has not even revealed his horoscope, they even shouted MVP at the beginning of the game.

The grievances are clear...

Cute and pure...

Xue Liancheng did not live up to their expectations. He scored 22 points and 10 assists in three quarters, defeating the Knicks on the spot with a huge score difference of 98:67.

Instead of being depressed, the fans at the scene were even more excited.

When Xue Liancheng was taking a break.

The audience stood up again and shouted MVP.

That battle, it was really better than the team winning the championship, and the momentum was very huge.

Xue Liancheng, who was sitting on the bench, smiled bitterly.

I don’t know, I thought I was back at the American Airlines Center, the home of the Miami Heat.

Really are……

Weird things happen every year, especially this year...

And the camera also captured Xue Liancheng at this time.

Xue Liancheng was very helpless and had to raise his hand in a gesture of greeting.

Oh open!

Nothing!

The scene boiled again.

This made Anthony, the old melon sitting on the other side, look quite ugly.

Isn't this his home court?

It's so embarrassing...

As the head of the Knicks, he did not enjoy such cheers, but the opponent players did.

The behavior of New York fans is tantamount to murder and heartbreaking.

He stabbed him in the chest a few times, causing him to gush out a mouthful of old blood.

It can also be seen from this that New York fans have reached the point of intolerance for Anthony's inaction.

Don't give Anthony a little face at all.

It also means that Anthony's time in New York is probably running out.

finally.

No accidents.

The Heat slaughtered the Knicks 121:87.

There is no power to fight back at all.

Xue Liancheng did not appear in the fourth quarter. He made 13 of 8 shots and scored 22 points and 10 assists efficiently.

Although it is not as good as the last game against the Cavaliers, it is not a super feat of 60 points.

But the New York fans felt very satisfied. At the end of the game, they all stood up and shouted: New York welcomes you.

He digs corners without any taboos.

This made Si Bo, who was standing aside, look grim.

The game is won.

And it was a massive massacre.

But he was not happy at all.

Other teams were blatant and even fans came off the field to poach Xue Liancheng.

This shows that the seriousness of the matter is far worse than imagined.

If one thing is not handled well, they will really grow wings and fly away after they dig out this piece of gold.

This result.

Any change of head coach would probably not be acceptable.

Especially this disciple, who was trained by him himself.

The super data of 22+10+5 was played that season.

The most important thing is that this is only Xue Liancheng's first season, he is only 20 years old.

In the future, there will be endless possibilities...

No one knows where Xue Liancheng will go in the future.

But what is certain is that Xue Liancheng's lower limit is definitely more than 22+10+5.

reason?

Xue Liancheng's playing style is not the type of player who flies into the sky and escapes from the ground, but the type of player who uses his keen sense of smell to seize opportunities.

In other words, Xue Liancheng's basketball IQ is absolutely outstanding, even rare in a century.

Basketball IQ is something that stays with a player for a lifetime and will not be eroded over time or other factors.

and so……

It was destined that Xue Liancheng would not encounter a big Waterloo.

For such a cornerstone player, how could the Heat let go?

this moment.

Shiba felt a little regretful for no reason.

I regret not stopping my mentor Riley's temptation immediately.

I regret not siding with Xue Liancheng right away.

even……

If he hadn't been involved, he might have been able to act as a lubricant and help adjust when the team management was in a stalemate with Xue Liancheng.

And now.

He and Xue Liancheng were deadlocked.

And it's still the kind of irreparable crack that's so stiff that it can't be sutured.

He felt that it was necessary to talk to his mentor Riley.

No matter how bad it is, lower your head and offer the maximum salary, first appease people, and the rest...

Besides...

If he continued to treat it so coldly, he was worried that the rift, or the knot in Xue Liancheng's heart, would get bigger and bigger.

By the time.

Then everything is over.

Thinking this, he subconsciously glanced at Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng had no special expression, just as usual.

But he felt that the current Xue Liancheng was no longer close...
