NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 338: Attack Blatter!

After Xue Liancheng got up, he looked around, trying to find Green and Curry. Unfortunately, they had disappeared.

I don’t know if I don’t have the nerve to stay any longer.

after all……

As soon as they said the harsh words, the big ear scraper flew to their mouth. It was really spicy and painful. It was normal for them to be shameless in seeing others.

Xue Liancheng didn't see anyone, so he gave up because by this time he had been caught by reporters for a post-match interview.

Reporter: "Xue, this is your first kill this season, but I have a question, why are you so excited? You know, when we faced the Bulls in the playoffs last season, there was only 0.3 seconds left. This was really an extreme shot. It’s time, you came down like a god from heaven to kill the bull in that game, but you weren’t so excited, can you tell me why?”

Xue Liancheng: "The Bulls are a powerful opponent, but I don't want to offend them. They are still a long way from the Golden State Warriors. This season, the Warriors have completed their transformation and become stronger. They have already swept the entire league. It's so high, we're about halfway through the season, and it's only lost two games, just two games, so... to be able to beat such a great team, it's exciting for me."

Reporter: "Do you remember that you said a few days ago that you don't know who your lifelong enemy is? Now I want to confirm again, is it possible that it is Stephen Curry?"

Xue Liancheng spread his hands: "He is very strong, I hope he is, but who knows?"

Anyway, after 15 years, there will only be a few people who can compete for the best in the league, Curry, James, Durant, then Antetokounmpo, and then Jokic.

The possibility of Curry is indeed not small.

Because if we follow the historical trajectory, Curry is about to welcome Du Shubao, the strongest teammate in his career.

Once the Tsunami group is established, it will indeed sweep the entire alliance. Cosmos Yong is no joke.

To be honest, with the current lineup, he didn't have the confidence to say that he could defeat the legendary Cosmos Yong.

As for what will happen next, that is too far away.

Therefore, Curry's competitiveness is still very strong.

of course.

It could also be a Du school bag.

But on the other hand, his sudden rise was something that no one expected.

A series of glory last season has made him rise to the level of superstar. Next, they will compete for the best position in the league. No one knows what will happen.

Reporter: "Can you tell us about the performance of your college teammate Feng Lai tonight?"

Xue Liancheng: "He is great, so strange that it makes me a little scared."

He must affirm this.

Because the gap between him and Feng Lai was too long, during joint training, Feng Lai was also a substitute on the bench and had no chance to interact with each other.

Therefore, he did not know that Feng Lai had progressed to this extent.

It can be said that after three days, scholars should look at each other with admiration.

He is really happy that his good brother has grown up.

Next, he felt it was necessary to fight for more playing time and tactical status for Vonlei.

Feng Lai's strength was not reflected in the past, and it was not easy for him to ignore the team just to take care of his brothers.

It's different now. Feng Lai's performance is really eye-catching. As a good brother, he must fight for Feng Lai.

of course.

The most important thing is that if Feng Lei plays with him, he may be able to maximize his performance.

If staggered?

Whether Feng Lai can maintain this state will be a huge question.

Because of Feng Lai's athletic ability and physical talent, he is very suitable for eating cakes.

Instead, Feng Lai was allowed to attack on his own, or shoot three-pointers from outside, and his condition could not be stabilized.

This is the main reason.

Reporter: "At the last moment of the game, we saw you having some arguments with Stephen Curry and Green. What specifically did you say?"

Xue Liancheng smiled: "They told me to stop talking and said they were very much looking forward to me killing the game."

The reporter was a little surprised: "Did they really say that?"

There was no room for him not to be surprised. Xue Liancheng's key ball ability was unparalleled in the league. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for Curry and Green to provoke Xue Liancheng like this?

Or to be more precise, I was trying to gain face and throw it away...

Xue Liancheng: "Yes, this is the interesting part. I did not live up to their expectations. Originally, I thought I could hear their praise after the game, but in the end, they were nowhere to be seen."

talking.

His face was full of helplessness.

The reporter smiled knowingly, "I think you will definitely get a response from Green on Twitter."

result.

It really hit the spot.

Sure enough, Green sent a tweet not long after: That was obviously a pushing foul. To be honest, maybe because we have been winning so many times, the public has positioned us as a strong side, but in fact, in terms of penalty scale, we are really of weakness.

In addition to this paragraph, there was also a photo of Xue Liancheng in physical contact with him. In the photo, Xue Liancheng did raise his hand.

But in fact, if it is an animated picture, you can clearly see Green himself pulling.

But this guy was very smart and posted a photo without mentioning a word about his own pulling action.

Xue Liancheng raised his hand, which was actually more for protecting the ball, and then retreated directly without pushing at all.

This is obviously the villain who complained first.

How can New York fans be polite? They just sprayed:

"You really have no shame at all."

"A blind person can see who the referee favored in this game."

"That's right, the Knicks' free throw count was 13:22, and you actually had the nerve to say you didn't get the referee's attention?"

"The most important thing is that the Warriors made 20 or 30 three-pointers, but they got so many free throws. It's outrageous..."

"Doesn't your conscience hurt? In the end, Curry made a countdown and rushed to the basket. Vonleh didn't touch Curry at all, but the referee gave two free throws. It's like the referee killed the Knicks with free throws. You are not satisfied yet. Do you want the championship trophy to be moved directly to your home?”

"What action did you make? Don't you have some ideas in mind?"

"The evildoer complains first, why don't you die?"

The New York fans were still very fierce and immediately cursed Green.

But Green is really thick-skinned. Not long after, he posted a new tweet: Friends in New York, please don’t be angry. Next time I go to Madison Square Garden and kick your butts, you guys will do it again. Come out and roar, promise me, okay?

This time, the bullies in New York were even more annoyed, and there was a new round of verbal criticism against Green.

They have no extra bells and whistles, just one sentence: FU, Draymond Green...

Very simple and unpretentious, just like New York Mayor Trae Young, who was later known to the whole world, he enjoyed extraordinary treatment.

However, Green really didn't think it was a big deal, so he jumped out and exchanged insults with the fans.

This can be considered a success in attracting attention.

After all, it’s Christmas!

The Christmas war has attracted much attention. Everyone is discussing this game. Green jumped out to have fun, which naturally attracted much attention.

In the end, there was a fuss, and David West was involved again. Green said directly on Twitter: He said he wanted to make me look good, but in the end, he got into a quarrel...

David West: I have never seen a person with such a harsh mouth after losing a game. It really opened my eyes.

David West didn't play much time in this game because the Warriors always play small lineups, and the big man simply can't keep up.

Lopez didn't play long, let alone David West.

Therefore, the two did not face each other directly.

If they were facing each other directly, a fight would really be possible.

David West is not a good guy.

Green responded: What does this mean? It shows that your vision is narrow.

The main reason why Green was so arrogant was that he performed really well in this game. He made 17 of 8 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored top statistics of 22 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists.

He's the best player on the Warriors.

而库里17投7中拿到了21分7助攻7篮板的全面数据，效率一般，但发挥还是很不错的。

The person holding him back was Thompson, who made 16 of 4 shots, only scored 14 points, and shot only 25% from the field. He was really in trouble.

In addition, Livingston on the bench had 16 points and Iguodala also had 14 points. The outstanding performance of these two people is the main reason why they can always beat the Knicks.

For the Knicks, Xue Liancheng relied on his super performance at the last moment and his 18% shooting skills. His shooting efficiency was still barely adequate. He made 8 of 25 shots and scored 14 points, 4 assists and rebounds.

The data is still so gorgeous, fully showing the style of a top star.

Coupled with his final 1.1 kill, his performance can be described as a god.

<divclass="contentadv"> Oladipo made 23 of 8 shots, mainly because he was so bad at the beginning, which made his efficiency look really hard to describe.

However, after stabilizing, Oladipo's performance was pretty good, scoring a total of 19 points. The overall performance was quite reluctant.

He's a drag on the Knicks.

Lopez had 12 points and 4 rebounds. This game was a complete blue-collar game.

Feng Lai only played for a few minutes, but he scored 9 points. His performance was eye-catching.

Especially his contribution on the defensive end is outstanding.

And most importantly, tapping Vonleh finally made up for the Knicks' weakest link.

From now on, their Death Wu Xiao can also be put into operation online.

Crowder had 13 points, P.J. Tucker had 5 points, Galloway had 6 points, Rooney also had 6 points, and Jeff Green, who retired due to injury, also scored 7 points.

Overall, the Knicks' starting bench performed well.

But in pure rotation time, especially when Lopez leads the team, it really feels like someone is holding your head and hammering him hard.

The offense was not smooth, the rhythm was lacking, and there was no one to organize it. Anyway, everyone was acting in his own way. As a result, Lopez, the main offensive point, did not receive the ball a few times. His only role on the court was to run back and forth.

This is a serious problem discovered by Xue Liancheng in this game.

but.

It should be much better with Tyler Johnson back. After all, this young man still has the ability to sort out the offense.

After the game.

The Knicks' record has reached 23 wins and 8 losses, and after the Golden State Warriors lost the game, their record became 27 wins and 3 losses.

Looking at it this way, the gap is not very big, only 4.5 wins.

The media also took the opportunity to output like crazy.

"Officially announced that the Knicks will enter the championship ranks"

Previous media reporters and the public felt that the Knicks' lineup this season was still far from interesting.

After all, Xue Liancheng + Lopez, plus a bunch of role players, will never reach the championship level.

In addition to the low reputation of the players in the Knicks' own lineup, the main reason is that other championship teams are too famous.

The Big Three of the Cleveland Cavaliers, James + Irving + Love, a lineup of this level is naturally aiming for the championship. Last season, they were only one step away from breaking out of the Eastern Conference. After running in this season, the Big Three of the Cavaliers have already There is no way out.

The Miami Heat are also the Big Three, Wade + Anthony + Gasol.

Wade's top performance in last season's finals is still impressive, and there is no doubt about his strength.

Anthony is a scoring machine in the league. He can easily average 20+ per game. Once he is in full form, he can kill a lot.

Gasol, the hero of the Heat's championship last season. Although he was reimbursed for the season before the Finals, no one will question Gasol's ability to protect the frame.

At least now there is no doubt that he can be called a giant.

Such a combination of the Big Three, coupled with the retention of Ibaka, the basic team member from last season, and the addition of talented Porgitins, veteran Hinrich and others, their strength must not be underestimated, and it is definitely The existence of the championship level.

And in the west.

The Golden State Warriors set off a small ball storm, sweeping the league with a 24-game winning streak. Although Curry and Thompson did not have many honors, they were the team that reached the finals last season and entered rampage mode at the beginning of this season. No one dares to underestimate them.

The San Antonio Spurs, with the arrival of Aldridge, have formed a super strong lineup of GPD + Leonard + Aldridge. The team also has the legendary coach Popovich. It is difficult to imagine that they will become more like this this season. Yu plain.

Looking at it this way, the Knicks are really the only one who is mediocre.

Even though the traded Oladipo has repeatedly performed well, people are still not very optimistic about this new army.

Because it's so new, it's completely unrecognizable.

Except for Xue Liancheng, no one else can reach the level of giants, so it is natural for everyone to look down on him.

Even if Xue Liancheng was not in New York and had not received such huge attention, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this group of people in New York as rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs.

No one knows who you are at all...

Except for Lopez, who is a bit famous, the others are role positioning.

And as the Knicks defeated Cleveland and the Warriors, everyone had to face up to the new army that was only formed this season.

It’s really not surprising that the media used such exaggerated space to announce the Knicks’ championship, because the Knicks have proven with actual actions that they have the strength to compete for the championship.

In addition to affirming the strength of the Knicks, the media also directly compared Xue Liancheng and Curry.

"The MVP battle is suspenseful again, let's wait and see who can have the last laugh?" 》

Before the Warriors lost, their record was 27 wins and 2 losses. They truly swept the entire league. It is not an exaggeration to say that they beat whoever they caught.

Therefore, the call for Curry to become the MVP of this season is very loud, and some people even shouted the slogan of unanimous vote.

If it weren't for Xue Liancheng's strong performance and overwhelming statistics, the team's record would also be outstanding.

So this season's regular season MVP is really not controversial at all.

Even though Xue Liancheng performed so well and the Knicks ranked first in the Eastern Conference, the public still felt that Xue Liancheng had little chance and could only participate as an opponent.

But as the Knicks defeated the Warriors, the direction suddenly changed.

Xue Liancheng's shouts for MVP instantly rose.

Because the results of the two sides were closer, Xue Liancheng proved himself with a decisive victory in the direct match.

On the other hand, this is a huge blow to Curry's momentum.

As the most popular candidate for MVP, he was defeated by his competitor in a direct confrontation, but he was unable to do anything about it. This is definitely a big minus point.

One increase and one decrease, one rise and one fall, instantly put the two of them back on the starting line.

This time it can be said openly that Curry uses the team's better record as a selling point, while Xue Liancheng relies on better personal data. The competition between the two for the regular season MVP has completely entered a fierce battle.

to this end……

Fans from both sides started shouting and cursing in order to compete for the top spot on the MVP list.

In addition, the media also reported extensively on Xue Liancheng's decisive victory, Feng Lai's activation, etc., which were very popular.

But it was quickly covered up by an announcement on the Cleveland Cavaliers official website: After careful consideration and for the benefit of the team, the board of directors decided to terminate the employment relationship with David Blatt starting today.

That's right.

Cavaliers head coach Blatt was really killed.

Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, but it seemed that everything was expected.

After losing to the Knicks, everyone was saying that Blatt's countdown was coming.

However, considering the Cleveland Cavaliers' record of ranking second in the Eastern Conference, they have performed extremely well so far this season, and changing coaches midway is not conducive to uniting people and is a taboo in the championship.

and so……

Everyone feels that there may be room for redemption.

After all, Blatter's performance in leading the team is really not bad.

Reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Cavaliers barely completed their mission, but their three-game losing streak was too ugly. Being nailed to the pillar of shame made it seem like the Cleveland Cavaliers failed last season.

The Cavaliers' record this season is also within expectations and is absolutely acceptable.

But James lost again in two matches with Xue Liancheng, and what was even more embarrassing was that James won the match instead of playing in that match. This became the biggest trigger that killed Blatt.

The core lineup cannot be moved, and James cannot take the blame, so taking advantage of Blatt will be the only way to explain it to him.

and so……

Blatter became that victim.

The reason why everyone was shocked was that they still couldn't believe that the Cavaliers had killed the meritorious coach who held the team together.

Xue Liancheng was not surprised by this, because the historical trajectory is like this, but it was much earlier, and Blatter did not survive Christmas.

Ok……

He was barely beaten away.

Many reporters have already rushed to ask another client, James, impatiently.

Reporter: "What do you think of the team firing Blatter?"

James's answer was: "I don't know. You should ask the management these questions."

After saying that, he left, not wanting to dwell on this issue at all.
