NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 298 Who is the scoring leader this season?

After the game.

The weather vane finally changed, and the media and public praised Xue Liancheng.

Everyone believes that Xue Liancheng has returned to the level of MVP last season and is a true superstar.

Regarding this…

Xue Liancheng didn't feel any excitement.

If you play well and improve your record, people will naturally praise you.

If he plays badly and his record is rubbish, he will undoubtedly be stabbed by the whole world.

This is the iron law.

He knows this truth, so his mood swings are actually not big.

This so-called undistinguished singles king has won the scoring title four times, and his scoring ability has been verified many times.

First, the Knicks have entered a period of reconstruction. Xue Liancheng is the only All-Star in the Knicks. Well... Lopez has not been selected so far.

Ku Haotian's three-pointers have exploded this season and he has become the most feared scorer in the league.

He had no time to be happy either.

and so……

Fifth, that is personal feeling.

It’s not surprising that the Warriors have such a record.

Who will be the scoring champion this season?

Four people were nominated, namely Curry, who currently averages 29.6 per game, Harden, who averages 29.4 per game, Xue Liancheng, who averages 29.1 per game, and Durant, who averages 29 per game.

That's right!

It is currently the only undefeated team in the league.

So far this season, the Golden State Warriors have won all 12 games and have not suffered a defeat. They have truly reached the supreme state of killing God when God blocks God, and killing Buddha when Buddha blocks Buddha. The level of madness is evident.

Let go, you have to take Westbrook's emotions into consideration!

"The assists king is certain. He averages 12+ assists per game. It is a height that is difficult for Paul to reach. There is no way he can catch up. The only possibility for Paul to win the assists king is that Xue Liancheng is injured..."

One of the reporters couldn't stand it and said, "But Xue Liancheng has a championship! He also has a finals MVP."

Therefore, Curry's probability of winning the scoring title is the lowest.

……

Curry can score 15 points in three-point shooting alone. If this is maintained until the end of the season, it will be a record-breaking record.

"Ha! A person who is timid on the spot can still be ranked second on the MVP list?"

Westbrook was the scoring champion last season, and his scoring ability is also terrifying. Having two scoring champions in one team is a bit of a competition between two tigers, and one of them must be injured.

The voting results were also surprising.

In terms of three-point shooting alone, the Warriors scored 5 points more than other teams.

This is the horror of the Golden State Warriors this season.

What is surprising is that Xue Liancheng won the first vote, with a support rate of 35%.

That is the Knicks' road trip, which requires them to play 4 games in six days.

However, three-pointers are a bit eye-catching. As of now, James' three-point shooting percentage is only 29.7%, which is quite bleak.

It also makes sense.

What’s even more frightening is that there is another super three-point shooter lurking next to Curry, Klay Thompson.

Because Xue Liancheng will activate the 100% hit skill at critical moments, and the goal that must be scored, can it not make people feel strong?

The top of the MVP list is undoubtedly Curry.

As the absolute core of the team, Curry deserves to be at the top of the MVP list.

"Xue Liancheng beat him to pieces. He was beaten to the point of shutting down. He just avoided the fight. Why did you put him second on the MVP list? It's outrageous..."

In other words, once the three-pointers start shooting and the emotion sets in, it becomes unstoppable and no one can stop it...

Their overall strength is recognized in the Eastern Conference.

Durant's facial muscles twitched violently and he said fiercely, "I will bring these two honors back to Oklahoma this season, I swear."

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in saying that Xue Liancheng is the absolute core.

"Indeed, now he averages 1.9 steals per game, which is only one step away from being 2 steals away."

Famous Internet surfer tells others that he doesn't surf the Internet?

The public is actually not optimistic that Cousins ​​​​can surpass the above four players.

Fourth, Xue Liancheng has this scoring potential.

"There are not many players who have won the scoring and assist titles in history. Xue Liancheng is really terrible. He scores like he is searching for something, and his assists are like precise feeding. This kind of performance is definitely at a historical level."

"I mean, if this evolution continues, Xue Liancheng's future is simply unimaginable."

In addition to the Splash Brothers, the three-pointers of Barnes and Green have also exploded, averaging more than one per game and shooting as high as 38%.

After returning from the season and being out of action for a long time, it is unknown how much status he can retain.

The last opponent of four consecutive away games, the Washington Wizards, currently has a record of only 5 wins and 4 losses, but their double backcourt is also a well-known signature in the league. Although Wall + Beal are not as intimidating as Durant + Westbrook They are powerful, but they are also popular among young players. They have entered the playoffs for two consecutive years and have proven themselves. They are also a force that cannot be ignored in the Eastern Conference.

But even so, the two swords of the Splash Brothers are still the strongest combination in the alliance, if not one.

In addition, Speights, Iguodala, Barbosa, Brandon Rush, and Clark are all capable of three-pointers.

Xue Liancheng's disadvantage is particularly obvious. The Knicks have 7 wins and 5 losses, ranking only seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Tyronn Lue arranged for everyone to not only deal with these four opponents, but also to conserve physical energy.

A strong opponent is certainly a bad factor.

The game between the New York Knicks and the Oklahoma City Thunder was about to come, and the media immediately made a stunt. The poster printed a photo of Xue Liancheng and Durant looking at each other, with a line of text: Who is the scoring leader this season?

I just feel that Xue Liancheng is very stable as soon as he takes the shot, and he feels that he will definitely score. Especially at the critical moment, this feeling is even stronger.

That's 5 three-pointers.

of course.

Now Curry is averaging 29.6 points per game. In fact, it is more of a short burst. It is impossible for Curry to maintain such a good touch all the time, and it is impossible for Curry to really score 5 three-pointers per game, because that is too terrible.

The overall shooting percentage was 50.3%, and the three-point shooting percentage was as high as 44.7%. He averaged 11.2 three-pointers per game and hit 5 of them.

The third place is Durant.

This is where Xue Liancheng suffered a loss. Although the results seemed to be similar, with only one and a half wins, the rankings were too stuck.

Although Harden has played for six years, he came up from the bench and did not get many opportunities at the beginning until he came to the Houston Rockets.

Reporter: You are kidding me.

Needless to say, the Thunder have returned Durant, the indiscriminate singles king, and Westbrook, the scoring leader last season. With these two on the field, they can intimidate most teams in the league. No one dares to underestimate them.

Durant: "I rarely go online recently. I have been focusing on training. I have been making myself stronger, so I don't pay attention to those noisy voices."

To put it bluntly, deal with it how you say it should be dealt with.

"Looking at it this way, Xue Liancheng has fully evolved this season, and even the improvement on the defensive end is visible to the naked eye."

People were mainly affected by the fact that James missed the Knicks game, but the Cavaliers won instead.

No one believed Curry could do it at all.

The fourth place vote-getter turned out to be Curry, who currently has the highest scoring average per game.

Let’s talk about another statistic. As of this season, the Warriors have hit 13 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 40.4%.

What's more...

而库里的个人表现也同样抢眼，场均上场35分钟，场均可以贡献29.6分7.1助攻5.4篮板还有2个抢断的数据。

The Cavaliers' record is currently 8 wins and 3 losses, which is much better than the Knicks, but James's data is obviously much lower than Xue Liancheng.

What's more, with the presence of Westbrook, Durant has no conditions to let go.

In fact, their feelings are not wrong.

When James was scolded, it was entirely because his image was in serious crisis.

Many people did not understand this result.

In addition, Harden has this condition.

and so……

"After all, this is my second season, isn't it normal to make progress?"

Second, the Knicks have a clear tactical idea, which is to let Xue Liancheng hold the ball and use Xue Liancheng as the starting point of the tactics.

Durant's face turned green on the spot, "Are you kidding me?"

In the playoffs last season, especially in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, Xue Liancheng was able to score 30+ points in the face of strict defense. As long as he maintains his scoring ability, it is not difficult to win the scoring title. .

And amid the turbulent discussion,

The second place is still James, averaging 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 53.2%, which is very efficient.

Therefore, the power of young people cannot be ignored.

While maintaining quality and quantity, he can also maintain a 44.7% three-point shooting rate, which is simply terrifying.

"I can barely understand if you put Leonard or Westbrook in the second position, but I can't understand if you put James."

At the same time, it is also the existence that crushes Curry...

Looking at its opponents, they only averaged 7.6 three-pointers per game, and their three-point shooting percentage was only 33.2%.

Last season, Harden was already able to score 27.4 points. He continues to improve this season and has a high chance of breaking through 30+ points in one fell swoop.

Because the Rockets are a dual-core model inside and outside, as Howard's performance continues to decline this season, Harden has unlimited power to fire.

It seems quite adequate.

If that wasn't obvious enough.

"Xue Liancheng's rebounds have improved a lot this season. I don't know if he will have a chance to hit double figures. If he does, it will be a triple-double! He will be compared with historical figures like Big O Oscar Robertson who averaged a triple-double per game."

Even though they have a 58% winning rate, they are still barely at the threshold of the playoffs.

One is ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and the other is ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. It is obvious at a glance which of the two should reach the second place in MVP.

That's right!

Once it starts raining, it can kill people in minutes.

and so……

What's more...

The fifth place is Cousins, who currently averages 27.2 points per game and looks very promising. However, Cousins ​​is considered a center. The tradition of centers winning scoring titles is not strong, and the average points gap is not small. .

With such a high-intensity and intensive schedule, even if you encounter a weak opponent, you have to be careful about three points, not to mention a group of opponents who are not good at fighting.

But the record of Xue Liancheng's Knicks is too poor. If this continues, there is basically no hope of getting the MVP.

It is simply a battle between dragons and tigers, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Their strength cannot be underestimated, and no one dares to underestimate them, just because the Knicks have one of the best players in the league, the top point guard Xue Liancheng.

The Magic's current record is 6 wins and 5 losses, and their momentum is quite good. They are young and impactful, and although their style of play is frivolous and unstable, they have the spirit and belief to overturn any team, such as the Heat, the Hawks, and the Cavaliers. The top teams recognized in the Eastern Conference have all been defeated by the Magic.

The reason given by everyone is: Six years have passed since Curry's career, which has basically been finalized. His highest scoring average was 13 points in the 14-24 season.

This is why the public listed the conditions and reasons for Xue Liancheng to become the scoring leader.

At least that's the case this season.

When the Knicks are in dire straits, they need the most efficient people to step up and score more. This is inevitable.

He took more shots and his production increased, but his shooting percentage dropped compared to last season.

of course.

The reason why this schedule is so devilish is that in addition to the strong opponents, there is another factor.

In the case of the same rebounds, points and assists, James is looking at Xue Liancheng's back.

In the first season, Harden exploded, averaging 25.9 points per game, 9 points more than he scored in the Thunder. His scoring potential has been verified.

Flying to Oklahoma in advance to prepare for the game is the most energy-saving way.

With a large amount of ball rights accumulated, Xue Liancheng's data will definitely increase significantly.

Reporter: "So who do you think has a better chance of winning the scoring title this season, you or Xue Liancheng?"

"As expected of the darling of the alliance, he was beaten to such a shameful position and yet he still insisted on being promoted."

and so……

Durant: "It doesn't matter to me. If he wants it, I can give it to him, because you know, I have four scoring titles, and the scoring title is not important to me."

Second.

If the Knicks' record is mentioned and they occupy the top two spots in the Eastern Conference, that doesn't mean there is no hope at all.

<divclass="contentadv">The average per game is close to 30+12+7, and the three shooting percentages also enter the 180 club. This kind of performance can be called a historical level.

"Although the Cavaliers' record is better, it is not insurmountable. It is only one and a half wins. What's more, Xue Liancheng's statistics are better than James's, and in the confrontation between the two, James is at an absolute disadvantage. Why can James be second? ?”

In fact, among the teams with good records in the league, James's statistics are indeed the best, and occupying a second place is barely justified.

But he could only settle for third place, for a very simple reason.

The reporter immediately smelled blood and ran to the Thunder training facility, blocking Durant's path.

reason?

Therefore, the possibility of Durant winning the scoring title is naturally greatly reduced.

After beating the Hornets, they need to actively prepare for the game because they are about to start a devilish away schedule.

At this time, more fans came out to express their opinion, believing that Xue Liancheng has a very high probability of winning the scoring title.

The Thunder, Rockets, Wizards, and Magic are all equally good.

Reporter: “What if I can’t bring it back?”

In addition, the Warriors also have an All-Star player, Klay Thompson, who also averages 20+ per game, which will take away some of Curry's shooting rights.

Reporter: "Kevin, have you been online recently? Many voices on the Internet are discussing who is the scoring leader this season between you and Xue Liancheng. Do you have anything to say about this?"

But the Knicks are not a vegetarian, with 7 wins and 5 losses, defeating powerful opponents such as the Cavaliers, Raptors, and Hornets.

Mudd!

And... Curry's statistics this season are very dazzling, averaging close to 30+6+5 per game, and his three field goal percentages have entered the 180 club. The only player with better statistics than Curry is Xue Liancheng.

What is this concept?

That is to say, when playing against the Warriors, you have to make more free throws than the Warriors, or improve your shooting percentage by one or two points, to have a chance to equal the point difference brought by this three-pointer.

Since it is the absolute core, it must have unlimited firing rights. This is a prerequisite for the scoring champion.

The Knicks are actively preparing for the game. The official also released the new MVP list at this time. Xue Liancheng averaged 29.1 points, 12.4 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Knicks' record of 7 wins and 5 losses ranked among the top three. List.

The Cavaliers in front are 8 wins and 3 losses, the Heat are 8 wins and 3 losses, the Bulls are 7 wins and 3 losses, the Raptors are 8 wins and 5 losses, the Hawks are 8 wins and 5 losses, and the Celtics are 6 wins and 4 losses. They all beat the Knicks. Firmly occupying the front position.

If Xue Liancheng heard Du Shubao's answer, his eyes would definitely pop out on the spot.

"This season is quite difficult. Currently, I only have 7+ points. There is still a long way to go before reaching double figures. But I can think about being the steal leader."

Thompson has continued his excellent three-point level this season, averaging 8.6 three-pointers per game, hitting 3.5, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 40.5%.

They all agreed that James' cowardly attitude was not worthy of being ranked second in MVP.

and so……

……

This means that Harden's scoring can continue to be released, and the possibility of winning the scoring title has increased.

The difference between the two is more than one level!

of course.

The second place is James Harden.

The hot discussion on the MVP list has not yet come to an end, and another major honor has been put on the hot topic by fans.

"So, we're going to win the double championship this season?"

This is so damn funny.

Just imagine, the two of them can average 8.6 three-pointers per game, which is the same as the two-point shooting rate of ordinary players. This is a terrifying thing.

When you say this, it's a bit pretentious.

Behind them, there are the Pacers, who also have 7 wins and 5 losses, and the Pistons, who have 6 wins and 5 losses, are chasing after them. The competition is very fierce.

Although the Rockets have not had a very good record since the start of the season, they have the best shooting guard in the league, James Harden, and one of the best centers in the league, Howard. The modern combination is still a force that cannot be underestimated in the league.

Third, Xue Liancheng's efficiency can only compete with Curry. The higher the shooting percentage, the higher the scoring efficiency.

As soon as these words came out.

The dissent from many fans suddenly became extremely loud.

He didn't say this, but brought the topic back to the upcoming game, "Tomorrow is the game against the Knicks. Are you looking forward to the showdown with Xue Liancheng?"

Durant: "Westbrook can beat him..."

In other words: I didn't take him seriously at all.
