NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 244 Let 3 chase 4?

And "Yahoo Sports" directly used this title: "What is Heaven's Proud One?" In the first year of entering the league, you can force the league to change the rules》

Although there are some exaggerations, it is an ironclad fact.

The reason why I say exaggeration is because Xiao Hua should have plans to reform the penalty system at this time. Even if he doesn't, the challenge system will be born in the 19-20 season. Now it is just going along with the flow.

but.

The number of challenges has been increased from 1 to 4, which is a huge improvement.

The ironclad fact is that no one else knows that the challenge system will be born, so this reform was indeed promoted by Xue Liancheng.

When people raise the right to challenge one day, everyone will owe it to Xue Liancheng's resistance.

This is an ironclad fact.

And forcing the league to change the rules is not something everyone can do.

Basically, the players who prompted the league to change the rules in history were all prominent figures, and their influence at the time was extremely huge.

To illustrate a problem from the side, Xue Liancheng has grown into a player who can affect the league.

This is the so-called superstar verification.

This undoubtedly raised Xue Liancheng's momentum to a higher level.

……

……

When Xue Liancheng saw the alliance announcement, he finally showed a long-lost smile.

That's right.

This was the news he was waiting for.

The previous announcement issued by the league seemed to lighten his punishment and give him some leniency.

But in fact, there is only no explanation for his punishment.

just now……

The explanation finally came.

The referee's certificate will be revoked and the referee will be banned for life.

The two sub-referees were also suspended to varying degrees.

As we all know, the NBA is a business league, and the authority of the referees represents the league.

Or to be precise, the referee represents the authority of the league.

Questioning the referee is equivalent to questioning the league.

Why can the referee's whistle blowing in the game be so unquestionable?

Because this is the right given to them by the alliance.

Why do players who criticize referees get huge fines from the league?

Because when the league protects referees, it is safeguarding its own authority.

just now……

When the league punishes the referee, it is equivalent to a slap in the face.

The significance of this penalty result is not just that the league admitted that it was wrong to call a player three fouls plus a technical foul in less than a minute.

It is also equivalent to the alliance surrendering to him in disguise.

Because Xue Liancheng threatened the alliance with an indefinite truce.

Isn't the league punishing the referee just to appease him and give him an explanation?

And the punishment result is very serious.

It can also be understood as the importance the alliance attaches to him and its full sincerity.

In this regard.

Xue Liancheng was quite satisfied.

This is the result he wants, and this is why he is willing to take an indefinite truce to harden the alliance.

What he needs is an explanation and justice.

just now……

He did it.

Moreover, he is the first player in NBA history to achieve this feat, which can be described as a huge achievement.

A little proud...

But not much.

Because the phone rang, interrupting his high mood.

After connecting.

Wade's excited praise came from the other end of the phone, "Xue, you are really a great player."

Xue Liancheng smiled and felt much happier: "I also have your medal."

Wade: "Haha, I'm really honored to be teammates with you. This is what I'm most proud of."

Xue Liancheng: "Hey! What did you have for dinner today? Your mouth is so sweet?"

Wade said sincerely: "I'm serious, I'm proud of you."

Xue Liancheng chuckled: "Huh? I will continue to work hard in the future to make you continue to be proud..."

Wade: "No need later, just now."

Xue Liancheng: "Huh?"

Wade: "Come back, let's create miracles together and change history."

Xue Liancheng was dumbfounded, I knew your call was not simple.

but.

Isn’t it a little hasty to go back like this now?

In ancient times, Liu Caoxiao showed full sincerity when he visited the thatched cottage three times.

Should he imitate Brother Kong Ming and be more reserved?

Seeing Xue Liancheng's silence, Wade suddenly became excited: "Xue, you don't want to continue the truce, do you?"

Xue Liancheng blurted out: "No...ah!"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

He was already smiling bitterly.

Wade reacted faster and said quickly: "Great, then you can fly directly to Cleveland. For now, I can't wait to share this joy with my brothers."

Done.

Hang up immediately.

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Now there is no need to think about being reserved or not.

Wade spread the news that he was returning to the team. If he didn't show up, Wade would really lose face at all.

In order to retain Big Brother's thin side, he had to make a comeback.

of course.

Now he has no reason to stay.

No matter what, as the team leader, he needs to stand up and preserve the last trace of dignity for the team.

If you really get swept away...

That's really embarrassing!

It is still necessary to go all out and give it a try.

As for winning four games in a row and completing an earth-shattering comeback?

This……

I really don’t dare to think that far ahead.

If it were the Bulls, he would still have the confidence.

But they are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Sitting on top of the top luxury configurations of the Big Three of James, Irving, and Love.

In addition to the core of the Big Three, there are also a group of tough players, JR Smith, Mozgov, Shumpert, TT Thompson, Dellavedova, James Jones, etc., all of them are good inside and outside. Players who dare to fight and fight hard.

He couldn't lose a game, pulled four games in a row, and won them with a sweep. Who dares to pat this chest?

No one dared.

Even if the top Danzi stood in his position, he wouldn't dare.

Even if they killed the Cavaliers four times in the regular season, they wouldn't dare.

Because this is the playoffs! This is a team led by the first player in the league!

They were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and with just a slight push, they could be shattered to pieces. It was really difficult to accomplish such a feat of letting 3 chase 4.

To describe it as difficult as climbing to the sky is an understatement.

of course.

No matter how difficult it is, it's not a reason for him to give up.

Just try your best and leave the rest to God.

……

……

The next day.

Xue Liancheng didn't delay any longer and set off for Cleveland.

The media caught wind of it very quickly and broke the news immediately.

The news of Xue Liancheng's return to the team once again caused an uproar.

"I'm finally back, haha... In this case, the fourth battle is still worth watching."

"This is a bit like the return of the king. I wonder if it is possible to really complete the match between 3 and 4?"

"This is a bit whimsical. Winning one game counts as completing the task, winning two games is all earned. If we really win four games in a row, then Xue Liancheng will really become a god."

"No matter what, we can't be swept. We are number one in the regular season, with 67 wins. It would be too embarrassing to be swept."

Heat fans were excited when they saw the news.

But the vast majority of fans are still relatively rational and feel that winning four games in a row and creating a historical miracle is a bit too wonderful.

Since the founding of the NBA, no team has completed an earth-shattering comeback while trailing 0:3 in the playoffs.

not a single one.

This is definitely not an accident, but an inevitable result. No team in history has accomplished this miracle, which is enough to explain everything.

of course.

They said this, but there was still a little bit of hope in their hearts.

Who doesn’t want to witness a miracle?

Who doesn’t want to witness greatness?

If it were other players, they really wouldn't dare to think about it.

But this person is Xue Liancheng!

Regular season MVP this season!

They have seen how amazing Xue Liancheng is. He reversed the Eagles with 31 points, defeated the Rockets, defeated the Warriors, and defeated the Bulls with 0.3 points.

Each and every one of these is testimony to Xue Liancheng's miracles.

Or to put it another way, Xue Liancheng has the gene to create miracles.

This gave them the courage to look forward.

<divclass="contentadv">Except the fans.

"FOX Sports" columnist Frank is still stubborn. He made this voice: The king is back, let us witness the miracle together.

There are several reasons he listed.

First: Xue Liancheng is the core of the Heat's offensive system. His absence is a devastating blow to the Heat's offense. His presence will improve the Heat's offense.

With Xue Liancheng and without Xue Liancheng, they are completely two teams.

Second: As the fans expect, Xue Liancheng has the gene to create miracles, and his ability at critical moments has been proven countless times. As long as Xue Liancheng is in good condition, anything is possible.

Third: The Heat's lineup is relatively restrained against the Cavaliers, especially against James. This has been verified in the regular season. As long as Xue Liancheng returns, the complete Heat will have a certain advantage against the Cavaliers.

Fourth: In history, there has never been a myth that a team fell behind 0:3 in the playoffs and completed a comeback. The reason is that the strength of the two teams has been reflected in the three duels. Being behind 0:3 means that you are in the playoffs. There are huge flaws in the lineup, or restraint, or there is a big gap in the overall strength of the two sides.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to complete a comeback.

But the Heat are different.

In the first game, Xue Liancheng and Wade both refused to play.

In the second game, the two giants Xue Liancheng and Wade were suspended.

In the third game, Xue Liancheng was absent again.

From beginning to end, the Heat's lineup has never been complete.

What's even more frightening is that they are missing giant players, the core of the team, and the MVP of the season. It can be imagined how huge the impact on the Heat's strength will be.

After three games, none of them reflected the Heat's strength. Losing is naturally a matter of course.

Now Xue Liancheng is back.

The Heat can finally play as a complete unit and display their full strength. This is the main reason why he is optimistic about the Heat making history.

The above four points.

It can be said to be well-founded and thoroughly analyzed.

and so……

It still got some response from the media and fans.

Especially the Heat fans, it was as if they had been given a shot of blood in an instant, and their shouting made sense.

"Indeed, the Heat have never played as a complete team in the Eastern Conference finals. This is not a reflection of their strength."

"It's so well said. History is made for creation. Xue Liancheng has such a gene."

"It's missing an MVP and an offensive engine. It's a damn thing if we can win."

"Looking at it this way, there is indeed hope!"

But more people laughed at the sound of killing pigs.

"There is a chicken hope to win four games in a row. You really dare to think about it. Look at the lineup on the other side. James, Irving, and Love are the three giants. You thought it was the rising star Butler and half-disabled Rose. What about the Pau Gasol combination for senior vacation?”

"This group of brain-dead, being fooled for a few words, really dare to think! Do you know what it means to be behind by 0:3? It means that you can't make any mistakes."

"This Frank is really crazy. Do you really think Xue Liancheng is a god?"

"Standing on the edge of a cliff, if a gust of wind blows, you will fall and be shattered to pieces. Do you understand what this means?"

"Do you really think the Cavaliers are fools? They swept the Washington Wizards 4:1 and the Atlanta Hawks 4:0. With such violent strength, you actually want to win four games in a row. Just dream of your childhood."

"It's not impossible to defeat the Cavaliers. I'll teach you a way to defeat LeBron."

"Think about it first, whether you can win the next game, let 3 chase 4, and just have some sweet dreams."

Wave after wave of sarcasm swept over him.

no doubt.

Few people are willing to believe that the Heat can complete the feat of winning four consecutive games.

Those who are willing to believe are nothing more than diehard fans of the Heat and Xue Liancheng's fanatical fans.

others……

Anyone who is a little bit normal and a little bit rational will not believe such nonsense speculation.

There are even fewer media cheering for Xue Liancheng.

Even "Sports Illustrated" and "Yahoo Sports", which have always openly supported Xue Liancheng, at this time are only exaggerating that Xue Liancheng will save the last trace of face for the Heat after his comeback.

Come back?

Such an outrageous and seemingly impossible thing, as a giant sports media, they naturally cannot take aim without aim.

But these disturbances.

In fact, it did not disturb Xue Liancheng.

When he came to Cleveland and gathered with the big team, he actually had the illusion that it was like three autumns ago, and he was in a trance for a while.

On the contrary, all the teammates were excited, as if they had seen a savior, their eyes were shining.

This doubled Xue Liancheng's pressure.

There was once again a feeling that if he still lost the fourth game, he would be a sinner.

That's right!

It is this feeling.

Spoelstra forced a smile and said, "Xue, you and Dwayne will attend the team's regular press conference later."

Both of them nodded: "Okay."

It was said to be routine, but in fact it was specially held for Xue Liancheng's comeback.

After all, the league is so anxious to punish the referees because it hopes that Xue Liancheng will come out and boost the ratings and popularity.

So far, the results are still impressive.

It dominated the headlines of major media, and the hot searches also shot up.

And when I came to the venue.

really.

All questions were directed at Xue Liancheng.

Reporter: "Xue, are you satisfied with the final result of the alliance?"

Xue Liancheng: "It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied or not. What matters is that the players in the league are satisfied."

Isn't this nonsense?

Not satisfied with his comeback?

Reporter: "Xue, the league's punishment of the referee means that you have won this game. Many people say that you have strived for a fair and just playing environment for the league and that you are a great player. Do you agree with this?"

Listen to this question.

A sentence immediately came to Xue Liancheng's mind: There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me.

Does this question make sense?

Isn't this a clear attempt to drive a wedge between him and the alliance?

amount……

In fact, there is no need to alienate his relationship with the alliance.

Therefore, he replied calmly: "Whether I am a great player or not is not up to me. It needs the public's recognition."

Please!

Can I ask some normal questions?

I don't know if it was because he hadn't been interviewed for a long time. He was a little uncomfortable with this kind of nonsense interview.

Reporter: "Xue, you flew to Cleveland this time, are you planning to make a comeback?"

Xue Liancheng nodded: "Yes."

Reporter: "Now you are 0:3 behind. Everyone knows what this means. So what is your goal for comeback at this time?"

finally come.

Xue Liancheng: "Win the game and strive to advance."

Although he is not sure how far he can lead the team after his comeback.

But you can’t talk down on yourself, right?

He is now the backbone of the team and he needs to say these words to boost the confidence of his teammates.

If he says some depressing words, how can the game be played?

And this answer immediately made the reporter excited: "In other words, you are confident that you can win four games in a row, complete a comeback, and break the history of being unable to advance after falling behind 0:3."

Xue Liancheng did not hesitate and answered resoundingly: "Yes, I believe that I have this ability, and I also believe that my teammates have the ability to help me create miracles."

The scene was instantly in an uproar.

Such bold words are quite weighty when released.

The reporter asked anxiously: "Xue, do you know that no team in NBA history has ever accomplished such a feat when trailing 0:3?"

Xue Liancheng's eyes were firm: "History is made, and records are broken. What others can't do doesn't mean we can't do it either."

Ok……

Anyway, I’ll leave it here for now.

Let’s talk about the rest.

Anyway, if they were eliminated, he would definitely be scolded.

It is said that if there are many lice, there will be no itching, and if there are many debts, there will be no worries. Since you must be scolded, let the storm come more violently.

Who makes him the team leader...

He can afford to lose.

If he wins, he can afford it.

Reporter: "What gives you such confidence?"

Chi Guoguo was full of ridicule about this question.

It almost means: Why do you do that?

Xue Liancheng: “It’s my regular season MVP, it’s our league-leading record of 67 wins, it’s the three-time championship winner next to me, it’s the best first-defense player in the league, it’s every fighter on our team, That’s where my confidence comes from.”

The sound is like a loud bell, deafening.

All of a sudden, everyone in the venue was calmed down.

Even Wade, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but straighten his body and look solemn.

Saying this is quite inspiring.

but.

A sneer came from below, breaking the passionate atmosphere created by Xue Liancheng.

When the others reacted, they couldn't hold back anymore. They suppressed their laughter and looked like they couldn't help but laugh.

Xue Liancheng looked directly at the reporter: "Why are you laughing?"

When he saw the reporter's body with the local Cleveland logo printed on it, he understood instantly.

The reporter replied: "I just feel that Mr. Xue hasn't realized his situation yet."

Done.

The laughter grew louder.

Xue Liancheng remained calm and said coldly: "I hope you can still laugh after some time."

Looking at the face of the local Cleveland reporter, at this moment, he really wanted to win.

Want to win at all costs.

There was an urge in my heart to fight even if it was a sea of ​​swords and fire, and it was very strong.

then.

after winning

He glared at this bastard and asked: Are you laughing at me? Keep laughing…
