NBA: I am the card dealer

The offense of both sides entered a period of sluggishness.

On the Warriors side, apart from Durant who can still output steadily, Curry and Thompson are completely wilted and unable to share the offensive pressure with Durant.

The Nets are not much better. Anunoby does not have the ability to attack with the ball. Once Xue Liancheng is not in the position to organize the offense, his role is almost half useless.

Sabonis Jr. does not have the offensive means of a top star, and his weakness in confrontation still exists, which leads to his offensive efficiency not being improved, let alone offensive deterrence.

Now their scoring burden almost entirely falls on Xue Liancheng.

of course.

Xue Liancheng would occasionally make connecting passes and create space for his teammates, who could occasionally score one or two goals.

Otherwise, if the Nets really rely on him alone to score, they will be doomed.

这一节结束，篮网以85：83依旧领先着2分，也就是说这第三节篮网以23：27单节输了4分。

Barkley: "There were some minor problems on both sides' offense in this quarter."

Ernie Johnson: "Curry and Thompson failed to shoot well, which put a lot of offensive pressure on the Warriors. Fortunately, Green, McGee, Bell, and Iguodala all performed well, but the Nets are facing a more serious problem. Now all their offensive pressure is on Xue Liancheng alone, which is crazy. Once Xue Liancheng can't hold on, the sky will fall on the Nets."

O'Neal: "I think Atkinson should try to let David West play more minutes. His independent offensive ability is still there, and it may be effective."

Atkinson seemed to have heard the advice and sent David West on the court at the start of the fourth quarter.

But no miraculous effect was achieved.

Perhaps because of his old age, David West's movements have become a little slow, and he is easily affected by double-teaming, and he can't play the role of being aggressive under the basket at all.

at the same time.

They also tried a combination of endless breakthroughs and passes, as well as various screens and insertions, but the effect was not good either, with most of the shots resulting in mistakes or missed shots.

With Livingston's mid-range shot, the score difference was tied.

Atkinson quickly called a timeout.

Xue Liancheng only rested for more than a minute before having to return to the stage again.

O'Neal: "The Nets' season is probably going to end early. They haven't shown the fighting power they should have."

Barkley: "Yes! This is not a strong championship contender. As many people have said, without Xue Liancheng, they will have a problem even making the playoffs."

Ernie Johnson suddenly thought of something: "Don't you think Anunoby will become an All-Star?"

In the first live game of the season, Barkley claimed that Anunoby would become an All-Star in the future.

This sentence is still ringing in my ears, but what Barkley said now is denying Anunoby's performance.

Barkley: "Strictly speaking, he is already an All-Star, but in my heart, he is not yet a qualified All-Star. He needs to continue to grow and improve his ball-handling and finishing abilities. Right now, he is not even a qualified helper for a championship team."

O'Neal: "The same goes for Sabonis Jr. He has the potential to become an All-Star, but his personal confrontation ability is not enough to support him to become a champion."

Both men were harsh critics of Anunoby and Sabonis.

Because in the finals, their performance was so bad that it was simply unbearable to watch.

And this game was really supported by Xue Liancheng alone.

Before he came on the court, he had already scored 35 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, which was an outstanding performance.

However, he still failed to lead the Nets to an absolute lead, which shows that there are problems with other people in the team.

The game resumes.

Xue Liancheng relied on running around right from the start, catching the ball and making a reverse layup to score, earning 37 points.

At 9 minutes and 44 seconds into the game, Xue Liancheng, Sabonis Jr. and Vonleh completed a double pick-and-roll, went straight into the middle, paused in the restricted area, looked back with a fake move, and made a layup with up and down steps.

The personal score has reached 39 points.

Durant of the Warriors was not to be outdone. He turned around and made a three-pointer, also scoring 35 points.

At 8 minutes and 53 seconds, Xue Liancheng passed the ball after a pick-and-roll with Sabonis Jr., then took a step forward and pretended to rush into the inside, and then suddenly turned around the next second. Sabonis Jr. understood what he meant and returned the ball, and then brought it forward to block Thompson who was chasing him. Xue Liancheng seized this opportunity and made another three-pointer!

The personal score reached 42 points.

O'Neal was stunned: "Xue really tried his best!"

Barkley: "This is the first time he has scored 40+ in the finals this year. As a leader, he has no choice but to step up. It is indeed a superstar style."

Looking back, Durant faced Vonleh and made a direct layup. His personal score reached 37 points and there was no way to stop him.

Ernie Johnson was also amazed: "Durant is really strong! Facing the bombardment of the Nets' front line, he was able to score repeatedly, fully demonstrating his ability as a top scorer. There is no doubt that the Warriors' lobbying for Durant to join was definitely the right choice. The Warriors should win this championship."

O'Neill smiled and said, "It depends on whether Xue Liancheng agrees or not."

Barkley disagreed: "Xue Liancheng does have explosive scoring ability, but can Xue Liancheng really do it alone? I think the answer is no."

O'Neill shook his head helplessly, unable to refute.

At 7 minutes and 24 seconds, Xue Liancheng, who had been quiet for a long time, relied on his predictive ability again, causing Iguodala to foul. He went to the free throw line and made both free throws, bringing his personal score to 44 points.

At 6 minutes and 52 seconds, Xue Liancheng broke into the basket and caused Iguodala to foul again. He scored 2+1 and made the free throw, bringing his personal score to 47 points.

O'Neal: "Oh my god! Is this going for 60+?"

Barkley: "He really is killing like crazy. Xue Liancheng must save some face for himself!"

But Durant didn't seem to be the same. He turned around and shot from mid-range, and his personal score reached 41 points, which was also a sign of going crazy.

Just when everyone thought that Xue Liancheng in this state was crazy enough.

But I never expected that this was just the beginning.

At 6 minutes and 28 seconds, Xue Liancheng pushed the ball over, and on a whim he took two steps outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

in!

50 points.

This three-pointer also made him really excited.

30 seconds later, facing Durant's long-arm interference, he made a three-pointer.

Hit again!

The personal score reached 53 points.

The audience had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

At 5 minutes and 21 seconds, Xue Liancheng ran around, received the ball and shot again, ignoring Iguodala's defense.

Another three-pointer!

The personal score reached 56 points.

There was silence.

Everyone is confused!

This is a triple hit!

But, it's not over yet.

At 4 minutes and 49 seconds, Xue Liancheng passed the ball to Sabonis Jr. and stepped back for a three-pointer.

and also!

The personal score reached 59 points.

O'Neal jumped up and said, "Oh my god! Xue Liancheng shot through the Warriors with a three-pointer by himself. This is his 9th three-pointer in this game and the 5th three-pointer in this quarter. He has 59 points in total. Is he going to break 70+? Break the single-game scoring record in the playoffs set last year?"

Barkley: "Xue Liancheng made the world realize what it means to be unstoppable. He is a man who can kill the game with his own strength. He should never be underestimated. Xue Liancheng is definitely one of the greatest basketball players in the league. His moments are worth remembering."

Ernie Johnson: "Cosmic Xue is truly extraordinary and he deserves the title."

But Kerr couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout, obviously wanting to cool down Xue Liancheng's touch.

When the game resumed, Xue Liancheng's touch did cool down.

but.

Instead of stubbornly insisting on shooting another three-pointer, he used his three-point deterrence to circle back and forth, and then suddenly attack for a layup.

Both times were successful and another 4 points were obtained.

The personal score reached 63 points.

而时间也已经来到了1分58秒，篮网凭借薛连城疯狂的个人表现，以118：108取得了10分的领先优势。

Victory is basically assured.

But Durant didn't seem to agree. After circling out, he made a three-pointer facing Anunoby.

Come in too!

The personal score also exceeded 50+.

Barkley: "Durant is indeed a one-on-one scoring machine. He is so strong and so stable. He feels it as soon as he takes the shot."

O'Neal: "The competition between the two was shocking. In the finals, one scored 60+ and the other scored 50+. This was unimaginable in the past."

Ernie Johnson: "It seems that the Warriors have not given up. Now it depends on whether the Nets can withstand the pressure and retain the last bit of face."

The voice just fell.

Xue Liancheng pushed the ball over and threw it directly!

Two steps from the three-point line.

result.

Come in again!

The personal score reached 66 points.

The scene turned into a still picture. They never expected that Xue Liancheng, who had been silent, would come back to life again.

And this is not over yet.

At 1 minute and 07 seconds, Xue Liancheng pushed the ball over again and without thinking, he shot another three-pointer.

and also!

The scene was suffocating!

His personal score reached 69 points, tying his own single-game scoring record in the playoffs set last year.

Coincidentally, Xue Liancheng also set this scoring record against the Warriors.

O'Neal directly swore: "Wang Defa! What else can I say? This is the strongest player in the league, there is no dispute."

Barkley: "It's really too strong. They shoot right through you and don't give you any chance to breathe. They shoot three-pointers one after another. I don't know when they will stop. It's really frustrating."

Ernie Johnson: "No team can escape the danger when facing Xue Liancheng who is in great form. This is the aura of a king. Xue Liancheng was like this last year."

Amidst exclamations.

In the 35th second, Xue Liancheng made the last three-pointer and the game ended early.

Xue Liancheng's personal score also increased to 72 points, becoming the highest scorer in a single game in the playoffs and also setting a new record for scoring in the finals.

The Nets also defeated the Warriors 129:116 and won this crucial game.

The score was tied to 1:2. Although we were still behind, we were not on the verge of collapse and there was still a lot of room for recovery.

After all, 1:2 and 0:3 are two completely different concepts.

Xue Liancheng played the best game of his career, shooting 34 of 22, 18 of 12 three-pointers, and 17 of 16 free throws, scoring a crazy 72 points, in addition to 12 assists and 7 rebounds, showing his most violent side.

72 points in a single playoff game, 72 points in a single finals game, 12 goals in a single finals game, these are all great milestones that have never been seen before and will never be repeated.

Xue Liancheng truly accomplished the feat of killing an entire team single-handedly.

What’s even more chilling is that there is also a crazy person on the opposite side.

那就是杜兰特，整体28中18，三分9中6，罚球12中11，爆砍53分13篮板7助攻的超一流数据。

But despite such shocking data, he is not the protagonist tonight, but a perfect supporting role, setting off the greatness of Xue Liancheng.

The two were still at loggerheads in the first three quarters, and even until the sixth minute of the fourth quarter.

But as Xue Liancheng started to use three-pointers and made 7 of them, the gap between Durant and the defense was widened.

He could only pale in comparison to Xue Liancheng.

Except Durant.

Curry was even worse, making 16 of 3 shots and 10 of 1 three-pointers, scoring only 11 points. Although he still had 6 assists and 5 rebounds, his poor performance on the offensive end was another reason why the Warriors lost the game.

Thompson wasn't much better, making 11 of 4 shots and 5 of 2 three-pointers, barely getting 10 points.

In addition, McGee scored 10 points, Green scored 10 points, and Bell scored 10 points. Their overall scoring quality is still barely acceptable.

And the Nets.

Anunoby made 14 of 5 shots and 6 of 1 three-pointers, scoring only 12 points. He didn't look like a second-in-command at all.

Sabonis Jr. was not much better, making 13 of 4 shots and only getting 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, still a triple-single stat.

Feng Lai is still the most reliable helper of Xue Liancheng. He made 13 of 6 shots and 6 of 2 three-pointers, and barely got 15 points.

Among the remaining players, only Hart performed decently, scoring 7 points.

Everyone else, it’s a mess.

of course.

Anunoby and Sabonis Jr. set an example by embodying the mess.

With such performance, Xue Liancheng led them to victory. It can be imagined how great Xue Liancheng's performance was in this game.

Or rather, how horrible his performance was.

He defeated the Warriors by relying solely on his personal abilities. This is a classic game worth recording in the NBA, not to mention the shocking 72 points in a single game.

After the game.

All the media exploded, they had been waiting for this day for too long.

Even in the football kingdom of Europe, Xue Liancheng's match was widely reported, which shows the extent of the shock brought by Xue Liancheng's match.

It can be said that it ushered in a new era of personal heroism.

he.

He is the current god in basketball.

"Unparalleled! 72 points in a single game in the finals, let the world witness the performance of the king"

Xue Liancheng truly interprets what it means to be unstoppable
