The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 166, the most talented yellow race

Without Oden and Pulbizla, the Blazers' inside line was really blown to pieces by Howard.

The magic is still going strong this year.

Xue Ding didn't think it when he was watching TV before, but after the real fight this time, Xue Ding felt that Howard's words of being able to exchange James alone were really not bragging.

The talent advantage of the Magic in this game is still obvious.

The Magic's Carter replaced Turkoglu's role. Carter worked well, shooting 9 of 5 from beyond the three-point line.

Warcraft Howard sits on the inside line, holds high and fights high, and sits with his back inside, no one can guard against him!

Then, several of the Magic's shooters swished three-pointers, and Lewis and Redick made very high three-pointers.

The Blazers lost.

Of course, the Blazers mainly lost this game to their own substitutes. Although the starting inside line suffered a disadvantage, the outside line still has some advantages.

Xue Ding and Miller have no solution.

Xue Ding's three-pointer received key attention, which made Xue Ding's breakthrough easier.

Of course, Xue Ding also ate a lot of hot pot.

The sound of Portland's little blacksmith hammering iron echoed in the Rose Garden Arena.

The Magic can be regarded as one of the most balanced teams in the Eastern Conference. The team has rich offensive resources, an unfathomable lineup, and is good at dislocation attacks.

On the defensive end of this game, the Magic continued to put pressure on the outside, and the inside was guarded by "Warcraft".Excellent performance in suppressing the Blazers' shooting percentage.

Their three-point firepower was ferocious, shooting 26 three-pointers and hitting 17 of them.

Then they can also fight hand-to-hand to beat the Blazers in free throws.

Of course, the disadvantages displayed by the Magic in this game are also very obvious.

On the offensive end, their internal and external connections are mediocre. After losing Turkoglu, they rely too much on three-point shooting, and their internal attack methods are single.The team's rebound protection in defense is average, and the care of jump shots in the mid-range area is poor.

They were also frequently killed by Xue Ding in the middle distance, and the two point guards who were the starter and the backup were also blown up by Xue Ding.

Xue Ding's efforts failed to change the fundamental situation.

………….
McMillan showed a very depressed mood in the locker room after losing this game.

Xue Ding could feel that McMillan was worried about the Blazers' center position.

Chandler's trade further weakened the Blazers' bench depth.

This defeat also put the Blazers' management under tremendous pressure. The media often criticized the management's stupid operation of exchanging three new players for a sick one.

And Xue Ding himself has been topping the management on various occasions. Just kidding, this transaction was promoted by him alone. If he doesn't support who will support it?

Xue Ding is not worried about the worries of the outside world, after all, this will not affect the ultimate goal of the Blazers.

The arrival of Chandler is to improve the ceiling of the Blazers.

At present, the minimum lower limit of the Blazers is the playoffs. In the end, the degree of recovery of the injured will determine how far the Blazers can go in the playoffs.

With the mood of comforting McMillan, Xue Ding said: "Coach, you can push me to the center position in the future. I can do all kinds of small hooks and low positions. I played as a center for three years in the high school team."

"Haha, Xue, thank you for your comfort, I will think about this issue carefully."

McMillan thought Xue Ding was comforting him.

Many NBA players played from 1 to 5 in high school. This kind of thing is not surprising at all. Their strong physical talents allow them to do well in various positions at the high school level.

But in the NBA, McMillan acted as Xue Ding to comfort him.

McMillan is not a person who sticks to the horns. Seeing that Xue Ding was worried about him, he immediately reacted, thinking so much about what to do.

With so many injuries on my team, it's already pretty good to play like this. As long as this iron man Xue Ding is around, the Blazers will be at least [-]-[-] in all games.

Indeed, the existence of Xue Ding makes the Blazers not hopeless against any team.

The previous Lakers, Cavaliers, Nuggets and other teams are proof.

In the regular season, the Blazers have no worries.

The trouble is the playoffs, but the lineup may have returned by then.

Slowly, Xue Ding talked about boring topics with the head coach again, and McMillan's mood returned.

…………

After this game, the Blazers will not play until 2010.

The loose schedule allows Xue Ding to have enough time to rest at home, and the Blazers continue to give Xue Ding holidays.

Xue Ding needs to rest.

The long NBA schedule will make people feel a little tired of the game, not physically, but mainly mentally.

At the end of the month, the results of the second round of the All-Star Voting Contest came out.

Xue Ding still topped the list.

No one doubted the top spot this time.

50+ triple-doubles, 13 three-pointers, so far this season, the average rookie data of 20+10+10 per game has shocked the entire league.

Xue Ding's popularity is no worse than those famous super giants, and the Trail Blazers led by him ranked second in the Western Conference is also a solid record.

Xue Ding has given the league a lot of stimulation. It is a certainty that he will be selected for the All-Star game in his rookie season, and he may become the top voter like Yao Ming.

Who doesn't want to be an All-Star?

Xue Ding didn't feel much at first, but when he knew that being an All-Star meant fame, an endorsement contract, and the amount of the next contract, Xue Ding was also tempted.

A total of 4 Blazers players entered the All-Star voting list.

They are Roy, Oden, Xue Ding and Miller.

With his high popularity, Roy is also ranked second among shooting guards in the West, but he is a little far away from Kobe. His main problem is that he has too many injuries and plays too few games.

Otherwise, he would be an All-Star, but fortunately, Roy can come back in the game after New Year's Day. After his comeback, as long as he plays normally, he will be an All-Star player.

Portland is barely an average city, and it's unrealistic to expect local fans to vote.

Xue Ding also started canvassing for Roy online.

Under his call, the number of Roy's votes also increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, Xue Ding knew that no matter how powerful Roy was, he probably couldn't beat Kobe. It was just that this attitude had to be shown, and his popularity had to be seen by the league. It would not be difficult for Roy to enter the All-Star bench.

While at home, Xue Ding also received an invitation to the dunk contest.

As the first person of yellow race to participate in the slam dunk contest, Xue Ding accepted the invitation without hesitation, and posted the invitation letter on Weibo with a high profile.

Xue Ding is famous for his explosive dunks this season.

Even those who have racial discrimination dare not say in front of Xue Ding that people of yellow race can't play dunks.

Because most people are not qualified to sit down with Xue Ding to discuss dunking.

As possibly the most talented basketball player among the yellow race, Xue Ding's registration has epoch-making significance for the slam dunk contest, and it is also very shocking for Chinese fans. This is also a kind of honor and recognition.
