NBA: I am the card dealer

And at this time.

Xue Liancheng was already gathered in the center of the crowd, constantly shouting and cheering.

But Xue Liancheng remained calm. After all, he had been doing this for the entire season, and the 100% hit rate skills did not give him many heart-pounding experiences.

Like in the sixth game of the last round, when they were trailing by 20+ points and 17 points with 6 seconds left, but they managed to make a miraculous comeback, his heart would be moved a little.

He was no longer surprised by such situations where a decisive victory was guaranteed.

Most importantly, this is only the sixth game and the series is not over yet. He doesn't think there is anything worth celebrating.

After the passion, everything calmed down.

The reporter came over and interviewed him.

Reporter: "I would like to ask, do you know how many buzzer beaters you have scored in your career?"

Xue Liancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't deliberately record these things. This is just a victory. Except for the exciting goal at the end, it's just a victory."

Maybe for others, a buzzer beater is definitely a thing of extraordinary significance. After all, some people may not have made a buzzer beater even after playing for more than ten years in their professional career, while those top stars also regard their buzzer beaters as classics.

The reason is that they have not had many buzzer beaters in their careers.

Also, it’s too difficult to make a decisive kill.

Everyone's attention is on you, and you will be subject to the most stringent defense. In this situation, forcing a shot is not only extremely difficult in reality, but also extremely stressful psychologically.

Throw in!

Alive.

Can’t make the shot!

death.

Such tense and exciting moments often make it difficult for you to remain calm.

But for him, it's completely different.

Because he has the golden thigh's 100% hit skill, he has made so many buzzer-beaters that he has long been accustomed to it.

Reporter: "So people say you are a historically clutch player, do you agree?"

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "This is obvious."

Reporter: "Well, I'd like to know, how do you manage to be so accurate at critical moments?"

Xue Liancheng: "Hmm! This may be a kind of talent? Every time at a critical moment, I can always hold my breath, and time seems to slow down, which allows me to act more calmly, that's it..."

Reporter: "Now that both sides are officially back on the same starting line, what do you think will happen in the tiebreaker in two days?"

Xue Liancheng: "We will hold the O'Brien Cup at Madison Square Garden."

The answer was very firm and very brief.

But it is definitely powerful.

And after the game.

The media reports basically all bombarded the front page with the headlines of Xue Liancheng's threat to lift the O'Brien Cup at Madison Square Garden.

But no one dared to say that Xue Liancheng was arrogant.

Because Xue Liancheng first defeated the Warriors in a Game 7, and then defeated the Spurs in San Antonio in the Western Conference Finals. He successfully won two consecutive Game 7s, which was enough to prove Xue Liancheng's dominance in a decisive game.

of course.

The former was a case of Xue Liancheng defeating the warriors single-handedly.

The latter was the result of the Lakers' united efforts to defeat the Spurs.

However, some people also believe that the biggest reason for the successful Game 6 with the Spurs was that in Game , Xue Liancheng was like a god descending from heaven and completed a miraculous comeback with his own strength, crushing the Spurs' self-confidence, which led to the bloodless victory in the Game .

This view has been recognized by many people.

After all, on paper, the Spurs are stronger than the Lakers. From the beginning of the series to the seventh game, the Spurs' performance was also better than the Lakers, which can be seen with the naked eye.

But in the seventh game, the Spurs had no power to fight back at all.

If this isn’t a collapse of confidence, what is?

And who was the one who destroyed the Spurs' confidence?

Xue Liancheng from G6!

He single-handedly completed a comeback and scored a legendary goal of 17 seconds and 10 points.

Now that the seventh game has come again, people are naturally more willing to believe Xue Liancheng a little more. After all, he is constantly proving his dominance.

Especially the dominance in a decisive match, which is truly unique in history.

In addition to this game, Xue Liancheng made 9 of 6 shots in the last quarter, 5 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 21 points in a single quarter. It can be said that this was another classic game in which he killed the opponent by his own strength.

This undoubtedly added tremendous deterrence to Xue Liancheng.

而全场打下来，薛连城依旧能24中13，爆砍41分14助攻7篮板的顶级数据，又是一场40+的得分盛宴。

He only shot 15 of 7 in the first three quarters and scored only 20 points, which is not very good, but not very bad either. It can only be said to be very ordinary star data.

But after the whole show, it’s a different feeling.

The data of 41+14+7 instantly upgraded him to the superstar level.

One can imagine how fierce Xue Liancheng was in the fourth quarter.

If we look at the timeline in a longer term, in the entire series, Xue Liancheng has scored 40+ points in 4 games, and 30+ in the remaining two games. His personal performance is really fierce.

of course.

Some people are also optimistic about the Knicks.

The reason is very simple, James has awakened.

After these two games, James' scoring efficiency has been declining sharply. In the last game, he made 28 of 12 shots, and in this game he made 25 of 10 shots, with a hit rate of 40%, which looks very miserable.

But people did not criticize James, instead they praised him unanimously.

本场比赛，詹姆斯虽然只有25中10，但依旧凭借罚球18中15，爆砍36分15篮板10助攻的三双数据。

This is not the point. The point is that James attacked very resolutely in these two games.

Most importantly, in the crucial last offensive round, when the team was trailing by 1 point, James did not shirk his responsibility, but faced the challenge, chose to shoot himself, and finally made the shot, regaining the lead for the team.

If Xue Liancheng missed the buzzer beater, then James would have almost made the buzzer beater and would have been the absolute championship hero.

pity.

It was strangled in the bud by Xue Liancheng!

However, James' performance is still worthy of recognition and he is the best player on the Knicks.

of course.

Oladipo and Lopez also provided a lot of help.

As for the Lakers.

Clarkson, who played for 18 minutes, became the hero, making 14 of 8 shots and scoring 21 points, in a very hot state.

of course.

There were also periods of stalling and negative effects, but they were not serious. Clarkson's offensive firepower was definitely the main contributor to the victory of this game and provided absolute help to Xue Liancheng.

而兰德尔表现则很平庸，13中5，只得到11分6篮板4助攻，另外还有4次失误。

The point of support at the top of the arc has begun to become ineffective as James is the main defender, and the role he plays is not as great as when he first started to serve as the central axis.

Before the game, he vowed that he would burst out with energy, but now it seems that it has become empty talk.

If Clarkson hadn't exploded as a substitute at the end of the first quarter, and if Clarkson hadn't continued to score while Oladipo was resting in the fourth quarter, this game might have gone in a different direction.

Even if Xue Liancheng scores 50+, he probably can't save the current Lakers.

It's really too bad.

The Lakers scored a total of 113 points, and Xue Liancheng and Clarkson scored 62 points. The combined score of the two was more than the sum of all the others.

What is this indicating?

This shows that except for Xue Liancheng and Clarkson, the others are like sleepwalkers and have very poor ability to score consistently.

This is why Clarkson was still arranged to play despite his disastrous defensive performance.

Just attracting firepower and advancing quickly are enough to prove Clarkson's value, and no one else can do it.

of course.

Clarkson's scoring ability is also very good, and his scoring explosiveness is also very strong. He scored 18 points in 21 minutes of playing time, which is not an easy thing to do, and not everyone can do it.

This is also the reason why Clarkson has always been remembered by Mike Brown.

As long as Clarkson has a good performance, they will have a chance to win.

In this game, Clarkson verified that Mike Brown's confusing operation was absolutely feasible and credible.

this time.

The seventh game two days later also became the focus of everyone's discussion, and the fans began to criticize each other on a large scale again.

"Hey! Didn't they say they were going to win the championship? How did they get dragged into a tiebreak?"

"James' battle to redeem himself now seems to be over - he will forever be trampled under Xue Liancheng's feet."

"You can't wait to celebrate when you're leading by 2-3 points. You haven't learned any lessons from the Warriors and Spurs!"

"The Spurs were even 3:1 ahead, and you popped the champagne at halftime. Now you're getting slapped in the face!"

"You guys got excited when Xue Liancheng passed the ball in the last two minutes. James always passes the ball at critical moments. Why don't you say he's a slacker?"

"Xue Liancheng has never disappointed anyone. Do you think I'm kidding you?"

"It's game seven. Some people should be trembling!"

Xue Liancheng's fans this time targeted James' fans in Game 6 who started celebrating in the last two minutes of the game.

At that time, the live broadcast comment area was almost occupied by them, so you can imagine how high they jumped.

But a pity.

Xue Liancheng threw him over his shoulder and he fell heavily.

But James' fans were not willing to accept this and immediately fought back.

"Game 7 hasn't even started yet, and you're acting like you're going to win for sure."

"Trembling? If Clarkson hadn't exploded twice, you wouldn't even have the chance to scream out, and you're still talking here!"

"It's like the championship is yours now."

"What are you guys doing now? Champagne before the game?"

"Yes! Xue Liancheng is a god. He never disappoints anyone. I'll just wait and see when this god will be shattered."

"You always think you are invincible. If your teammates don't stand up for you, you are nothing!"

"Why are you talking so much? See you in two days..."

of course.

What made them angry was not just the outrageous remarks of Xue Liancheng's fans.

But it seems that the whole world is optimistic about the Lakers' advancement.

That's right!

Everyone is willing to believe in Xue Liancheng's ability to decide the outcome of a single battle.

This is the biggest reason why James fans are annoyed.

Why?

Just because they defeated the Warriors in Game 7, should we move on to their series?

Then why can't their idol James go crazy and send the Lakers home?

After all, the fight has come to this point, and their strength is almost equal. It is unknown who will win or lose, but now the whole world is certain that Xue Liancheng will reach the top for the third time.

The most hateful thing is that many media have already written that Xue Liancheng, who has won three championships in three years, has surpassed James in historical status and has become the true and thorough number one active player.

This really made them furious.

The seventh game hasn't even started yet, and you've already booked the championship, and you're stepping on James' historical status. This is something that only an uncle can tolerate, but an aunt can't.

This aroused the anger of many James fans.

Even James was involved in this matter.

Media reporters rushed to the New York training hall to interview James as soon as possible.

Reporter: "The Los Angeles Morning Post published a report comparing Xue Liancheng's historical status with yours after he won three championships. What do you want to say about this?"

James said bluntly: "It's ridiculous. The seventh game hasn't even started yet."

Reporter: "If the Lakers win the championship, do you think Xue Liancheng's historical status will be higher than yours?"

James was really a little angry: "You are really ridiculous. I said the seventh game hasn't started yet. How do you know the result?"

Reporter: “I said if.”

James: "There are no ifs with me. See you in two days. The results will tell the story."

Reporter: “Are you confident?”

James: "There is no doubt that no one can stop us from winning the championship at Madison Square Garden."

The reporter began to pick his past: "You have said many times before that you can defeat Xue Liancheng, and you promised it solemnly, but you never did it. This time it is also very doubtful."

James' eyebrows twitched wildly: "This series is already 3:3, and you say I have never defeated him? Are you blind..."

Reporter: “Before this series.”

James: "Everything is meant to be broken. I didn't have the upper hand against him before, but this series is a reincarnation. Not only do I beat him in a single game, I also want to eliminate him in the series. I firmly believe I can do this. Is there any problem?"

As he spoke, he became annoyed.

He already felt the malice of the world and that people were looking down on him.

As a gifted child, a superstar who once sat on center stage, this deeply hurt his self-esteem.

Done.

He gritted his teeth and swore secretly in his heart that he must win this game, win this series, lift the O'Brien Cup, and prove himself again.

this moment.

The determination was so strong, the desire to win was stronger than ever.

But the reporter didn't care about his feelings at all and went straight to the point: "LeBron, but what if you fail? Have you ever thought about what it would be like after all this happened?"

At this moment, James felt particularly suffocated.

The whole world puts him in the position of a loser, everything is an if and a hypothesis, and his self-esteem is trampled underfoot.

That feeling is so frustrating.

He took a deep breath and replied, "Then I should commit suicide by disembowelment."

After he finished speaking, his eyes were red.

Ask him what would happen if he failed?

Just die!

What else?
