NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 327 Why is Xue Liancheng laughing?
this round.

James finally stabilized and no longer dared to pass the ball rashly, but no matter how the Cavaliers pulled or moved, the Knicks could make up for it with good mobility.

In desperation, James could only break through.

The Knicks were well prepared, and their defense shrank so much that James had to take a mid-range shot.

The posture is still as weird as ever, but it is a pity that James failed to continue his good touch in the third quarter.

Iron.

PJ Tucker protected the rebound and gave the ball immediately.

The Knicks pushed forward like a tidal wave.

But the Cavaliers' defensive attitude was indeed not bad. They retreated very quickly and immediately found a good position, not giving Xue Liancheng a chance to seize the opportunity.

Fall into position.

Xue Liancheng still chose to pick and roll with Oladipo.

He killed the man for a while and went in like crazy.

Everyone's attention was on Xue Liancheng.

But actually.

Xue Liancheng didn't have the ball in his hands at all. Just when he was running a pick-and-roll with Oladipo and sprinting forward, he had actually called the ball back.

And Oladipo accelerated directly from the other side.

By the time everyone found out that the ball was in Oladipo's hands, it was already too late.

Oladipo took off directly. Facing Love's defense, he just twisted his body slightly and completed the shot.

2 points to go in!
68:72
Everyone was startled.

Everyone thought Xue Liancheng was going to stand up in the fourth quarter, but...

The person who stood up turned out to be Oladipo, who scored 7 points in a row. Not only did he overtake the score, he also led by 4 points.

This is so unexpected.

You know, in the public mind, Oladipo is still a young man with extremely unstable offense and has never proven that he is the second best player.

Even if he performs well after coming to the Knicks, most fans still feel that Oladipo can only achieve such performance by eating cakes fed by Xue Liancheng, which is not his true level at all.

And today's game.

Oladipo's performance was surprising.

Despite being sluggish in the first three quarters, he dared to take crazy shots in the fourth quarter, showing his strong ability to withstand pressure and his excellent personal offensive methods.

Just like this ball, even if the ball leaks out of the gap, ordinary players cannot take off and run towards the frame at such a fast speed. Even if they can take off, it is not easy to calmly pick the ball in when there is a confrontation in the air. things.

This shows that Oladipo has excellent physical talent, super speed, good ability to stay in the air, and has offensive skills that surpass most players.

O'Neal couldn't help but admire: "Oladipo is obviously underestimated. His offensive methods are very comprehensive and his physical talent is extremely good. Even if he does not come to Xue Liancheng's side, after time polishing, he should be able to make a name for himself."

Ernie Johnson: "In the first few games, Oladipo scored 20 points or more. Everyone thought it was an accident. When other teams reacted and targeted him specifically, Oladipo's true colors would be revealed. Looking at it now, all this It’s all fans’ imagination, Oladipo is indeed underestimated, and his personal singles ability is actually very strong.”

Barkley: "Yes, the more I look at it, the more I look like Wade. To be honest, Tyronn Lue does have something. He is copying the Heat's offensive system last season. In fact, this idea is right. Yes, it is no accident that the Heat won the championship. The offensive firepower displayed by the Xue Liancheng + Wade partnership cannot be matched by any team. This successful case is worth reference."

Blatter's face was completely darkened on the sidelines.

But he still didn't call a timeout.

It may be that no matter how much Oladipo explodes, there is a limit. As long as James puts his defensive energy back on Oladipo, Oladipo will flame out.

In addition, the fourth quarter has only started 2 minutes, which is called a timeout, and the momentum will immediately weaken, which is extremely detrimental to the team's morale.

The most important thing is that he believes that the Big Three will step forward to stop the team's bleeding.

result.

He clearly believed it wrong.

James suddenly scored and gave it to J.R. Smith. The latter may have forgotten to bring the knife and only had nerves.

Let's go straight to the inhumane three-no-touch...

James was stunned. His helpless and desperate expression was captured by the camera at this moment.

The audience at the scene sat there very solemnly, as if they were attending a funeral, with terrible stinking faces.

Heat attack.

The conversion could not be completed.

Xue Liancheng and Oladipo started a pick-and-roll again.

Xue Liancheng held the ball and charged in. This time he did not hit the ball backwards.

Because James just delayed briefly and didn't dare to follow him to block it.

This leads to another problem. Xue Liancheng is in no one's land, and Owen can't stop Xue Liancheng at all.

only.

The Cavaliers already have a way to deal with it.

They chose to let go of PJ Tucker to flank Xue Liancheng.

There is nothing wrong with the idea. After all, PJ Tucker doesn't have any effective offensive methods except squatting in the corner to smoke and getting under the basket.

PJ Tucker feels bad in this game. He has taken 4 shots so far and failed to score a single goal. He swallowed a big zero.

In this case, they naturally dared to let it go completely.

But Xue Liancheng believed in his teammates, and he believed in them thoroughly. If the first few shots didn't go in, it didn't matter, just keep shooting until they went in.

He hopes to use this period of the regular season to cultivate the self-confidence of his teammates, and PJ Tucker is a big example of this.

He just wants to tell all his teammates: shoot boldly and resolutely.

Only with this belief can they go further in the playoffs.

To give the simplest example, Xue Liancheng's own offensive methods were relatively limited last season. Apart from a 100% hit skill, he had no actual hard-hit ability. He needed someone to back him up.

And that person is Wade.

It was Wade who gave him confidence and allowed him to play with confidence and play however he wanted. This enabled him to continue to evolve and eventually successfully evolve to the MVP level.

Without Wade's encouragement and confidence, he felt that he would have taken at least three more years on this detour.

Now, he hopes to inspire his teammates in the same way, allowing them to take bold shots with confidence.

Let’s not talk about whether we can advance or not. First, we need to improve our confidence. Confidence is the foundation of shooting feel.

If you don't believe you can make a shot, or you don't dare to make a shot, or are afraid of taking a shot, then your efficiency will most likely not be very high, and no player will be afraid of you.

This is the difference.

result……

PJ Tucker, who had been struggling all game, finally blossomed.

A completely open shot and a solid hit.

68:75
In the blink of an eye, the Cavaliers were already 7 points behind.

At this moment, Brat's head was buzzing.

Even the role players are open, and the situation is very bad for the Cavaliers.

This time he didn't hesitate and called a timeout without hesitation.

Barkley couldn't help but joke at this time: "It seems that Blatter is a big step closer to being dismissed from get out of class. To be honest, his style in Europe may not be suitable for James. He moves the ball, plays coordination, and is high-intensity." Defensively, not everyone can play well."

O'Neal responded in a catering manner: "What are you talking about? I suspect you are blackmailing LeBron."

Barkley: "Does James still use blackmail? He is now the athlete with the most fans in the country, if not one."

Ernie Johnson: "The defeat in the Eastern Conference finals last season was really a big blow to James..."

O'Neal: "What do you mean it's not small! To be precise, it should be a devastating blow."

Barkley: "Yes, Wade and Xue Liancheng led the team to step on James's body, advance to the finals stage with their heads held high, and finally reach the top. James lost too ugly and lost his face. This made him in the finals." The results achieved by the Heat were directly put on the stage to be smashed and questioned by the public. To use a joke from fans: I was the champion before you came, and I will still be the champion after you leave. So the champions in 12 and 13 , who is holding back? At the same time, the feud between James and Xue Liancheng also came to an end for a short time. There is no doubt that James was completely defeated, and his influence and status plummeted. The league No. 1 is crumbling."

O'Neal suddenly thought of something and smiled: "I suddenly thought of a very interesting statement, which goes like this: "In fact, the Cavaliers had countless opportunities to win the game in four games, but they just watched the opportunity. Sneaked away. If the Cavaliers successfully eliminate the Heat, then the championship belongs to the Cavaliers. Unfortunately, the referee ruined everything." Do you think this statement is well-founded?"

Barkley was rude, "This is just some people's self-comfort, and the referee ruined it all? Without the bias of the referee, the Cleveland Cavaliers might have been swept out 0:4, just because of the referee. We gave them a chance to advance, but unfortunately, they didn’t take advantage of it.”

O'Neill: "How dare you say..."

Barkley: "Because this is a fact, a fact that everyone knows. Furthermore, even if you have been through the Heat, the Golden State Warriors are not in trouble. The strong momentum this season can prove this. The battle between the Cavaliers and the Warriors , it’s not necessarily who will win, but the championship belongs to Cleveland, which is quite beautiful to think about..."

Ernie Johnson: "Last season was indeed interesting, but I think this season is even more interesting. First of all, the three strongest contenders in the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat are both in the Big Three model. There is no need to elaborate on how strong they are. And The Knicks came from behind, and the backcourt combination of Xue Liancheng and Oladipo cannot be underestimated. They will be the real kings of the Eastern Conference, and they must go through a crazy competition to get out of the Eastern Conference."

"The Western Conference is also very strong. The Golden State Warriors came with a sweeping momentum and used the king's capital to start the game with 24 consecutive victories, demonstrating what it means to be unstoppable."

"The San Antonio Spurs, another strong team in the Western Conference, have a faint tendency to make a comeback after acquiring Aldridge in the offseason. They will be the biggest obstacle to the Golden State Warriors. No one dares to underestimate them. In addition, this is the last game of GPD. Dance, they will definitely try their best to compete for the championship.”

Barkley also smiled happily, "Yes! This season is indeed the most exciting year since the Heat formed the Big Three in 10. The lineups of the five teams all look very strong. They should be the final champion. ”

While several people were chatting.

The timeout has ended and play resumes.

The Cavaliers took the lead in making substitution adjustments, with Shumpert coming up and JR Smith going down.

Everyone thought that the Cavaliers would be able to stop the bleeding after adjusting and rearranging their tactics.

After all, the three giants support the team, and after a season of training, they have already achieved great success.

result.

Love added another piece of iron.

Off-site attack and defense.

Xue Liancheng originally planned to push over with the ball, but found that the Cavaliers directly pressed him.

He shook his head with a wry smile and handed the ball over indifferently.

Even if you didn't experience his power without the ball last season, you should have seen the Heat and Warriors finals, right?At the beginning, Jinzhou used a flanking strategy to deal with Xue Liancheng, but they attacked when Xue Liancheng broke through with the ball. This was indeed Xue Liancheng's lifeline at the time.

but……

Xue Liancheng quickly told Cole with actions that you can't guard against a real superstar.

That's right.

At that time, Xue Liancheng was a shooter, using his intimidation power to continuously pull the Warriors' defense, and at the same time, he used movement to connect the ball, making the Warriors pay a heavy price.

of course.

At that time, Xue Liancheng's partner was another core offensive player with the ball, Dwyane Wade.

But now, Xue Liancheng is surrounded by Oladipo who has not been able to catch up and has not really proven himself.

Obviously.

Blatter is testing Oladipo, and it can be regarded as a new way to adjust tactics.

After seeing Xue Liancheng play the ball, Shumpert stopped attacking from the double flank.

Oladipo held the ball and pushed past half-court. He seemed a little uncomfortable for a moment and subconsciously stopped the ball, trying to find Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng hurried over to respond. After receiving the ball, he said, "I will pick and roll for you and create space for you. Remember to cooperate."

After saying that, he handed the ball back.

Then ran away.

When Oladipo reached the top of the arc, Xue Liancheng came up to screen for Oladipo.

The two people's tacit understanding has improved a lot. After the pick and roll, Xue Liancheng turned around directly, and the ball came as expected.

Xue Liancheng took a sudden step and directly raised his hand to push the ball to the edge of the basket.

Oladipo took off directly and completed the alley-oop.

After landing.

Oladipo exploded and shook hands again.

Scored 9 points in a row.

68:77
The Cleveland Cavaliers were already 9 points behind, and the situation was suddenly reversed.

The audience seemed to have heard the music of a funeral, and their faces were all ashen.

I am Nima!
Didn't score a single point.

From leading by 3 points to falling behind by 9 points, what's going on?

Many excited fans were already spitting out sweet things on the sidelines, cursing and saying that these Cavaliers players are trash...

Look back.

The knight finally stopped bleeding.

Owen still has to come.

However, it was James who attracted the defense in the low post and gave the cutting Irving a hit.

A very perfect fit.

only……

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Oladipo pushed the ball and rushed over.

He is different from Xue Liancheng, who needs to observe and calculate the placement of the pass. Oladipo is now in charge of the ball and has no intention of releasing the ball.

I pushed all the way to the free throw line, but finally couldn't push it in anymore.

Only then did I think of Xue Liancheng.

At this time, Xue Liancheng happened to be two steps outside the three-point line. When he received the ball, Shumpert just followed.

There was little hesitation.

Xue Liancheng immediately knelt down.

Raise your hand.

take off...

In fact, he didn't jump up, he just nodded Shumpert.

And Shumpert is indeed a strong defensive player. He accurately judged Xue Liancheng's movements and did not jump with him, but calmly pressed over.

result.

As Shumpert sprinted forward, Xue Liancheng suddenly raised his foot to start, as if the motor was turned on.

As expected, Shumpert twisted and retreated.

Just in time.

Xue Liancheng thought secretly in his heart, pulled back, bent his knees again, raised his hands and jumped...

Uh……

In fact, it still didn’t jump, or it only jumped half way.

Shumpert, who was in a hurry, finally fell for the trick and flew over.

However, there was a movement in the air to avoid invading Xue Liancheng himself.

In this situation, if you want to cause a foul, you must lean forward to take the shot, and you still have to lean forward with your body crooked.

and so……

With just a thought, Xue Liancheng made the decision to give up this time.

Take a three-point shot in a serious manner.

After all, this is equivalent to an open opportunity, with a 15% hit rate bonus.

He prefers to trust his own touch.

really.

As soon as the ball is released, the feeling comes.

Swish!
Three points!
70:80
10 points difference.

It was a stalemate for most of the game, but at the end of the quarter, in just over three minutes, they were directly hit by a wave of 15:2 attacks.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that only 15 of the 3 points were contributed by Xue Liancheng. The remaining 9 points were obtained by Oladipo and 3 points by PJ Tucker.

It was not like Xue Liancheng alone defeated a team like in previous games.

But this illustrates a problem: Xue Liancheng has not really exploded yet.

This is the most terrifying thing.

And in fact, it is.

Xue Liancheng still retained three 3% hit skills. He originally thought that he might have to fight until the last moment, so he kept restraint.

result.

Judging from the current situation, this is completely unnecessary.

He wants to kill Cleveland with one stick and let the Cavaliers fans experience what it means to have a thousand arrows pierce the heart.

Look back.

James finally got tough and pushed hard.

In the end, he won free throws and made one of two free throws.

And this is simply a drop in the bucket. Since Xue Liancheng has decided to kill the knight with a stick, he will naturally not hesitate anymore.

Half time passed.

He made a circle, went straight forward to the top of the arc, and said to Oladipo, "Give me the ball..."

Oladipo is quite obedient.

Xue Liancheng caught the ball and turned around to shoot without any hesitation.

He just wanted to imprint the fear of him on all the knights' minds.

The result was no surprise.

Three points again!

The only incident was that Shumpert jumped too hard and knocked Xue Liancheng down.

This is a 3+1.

And Xue Liancheng did not activate the 100% hit skill at all.

Xue Liancheng, lying on the floor, looked at the big screen and smiled...

Smiling quite happily.

He missed two three-pointers in a row. This feeling is actually pretty good!

And he still had three 100% hit skills that were useless.

Are you still alive this time?

The fans at the scene did seem to be heartbroken. When they saw Xue Liancheng entering again, their faces were really livid.

Buckley asked: "Why is Xue Liancheng laughing?"

O'Neal: "I don't know, maybe I thought of something happy."

Xue Liancheng: The sickle has been smeared on James' neck. Can you be unhappy?

Or to put it another way, if we are number one in the Eastern Conference, how can we not be happy?
