NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 216 Reaching the top of the MVP list for the first time

after the game.

As the best player of the game, Xue Liancheng was interviewed by reporters.

Reporter: "I think you should know that after winning this game, you have become the number one in the league. At this moment, how do you feel?"

Xue Liancheng: "Very exciting, I am proud of the team's impressive results."

League number one!
This is definitely a great honor for the whole team.

Everyone in the team can enjoy the admiration and applause from the outside world.

But for him personally, that is even more important.

The Heat are the best team this season.

Generally speaking, MVP will choose the best player on the best team.

no doubt.

He is the best player.

If the Heat can maintain this record until the end of the season, then, based on his statistics and performance on the field, his possibility of winning the MVP will be infinitely higher.

Just like Curry before, with the league's first record, the 23+7 data also dominated the MVP list for three months.

It is conceivable how huge the bonus of the league's first record is.

Especially when the statistics of several of their MVP contenders are comparable, the bonus of the league's first record is even greater.

He desperately needs this honor.

Not only can it allow him to directly step into the ranks of top superstars, but most importantly, it can also help him evolve his skills.

Especially in the 7-match 4-win playoffs, every game is a bayonet, and every team is reducing the rotation.

At that time, as the core of the team, he will need to play a lot more time and will be taken care of by the opponent.

In this case, his efficiency will definitely drop, and scoring will become particularly difficult.

and so.

He urgently needs to strengthen his abilities, especially his offensive ability.

If you are lucky enough to increase the 100% hit skill to 2, it will be two completely different levels.

In this way, he will not be pinned down in the playoffs.

And according to his guess, if you want to improve your hit skills by 100%, you probably need the heavy honor of MVP.

and so.

It is too important for him to get the first record in the league.

Reporter: "Before the start of the season, did you ever think that Miami could be at the top of the league?"

Xue Liancheng answered honestly: "At that time, I was a rookie. What I thought was how to gain a foothold in the league. I never thought that I could drive the giant ship Miami, let alone that the team could get to where it is today. But very fortunately, we did."

Reporter: "So now, do you have the confidence to lead Miami to become the best team this season?"

Xue Liancheng: "Without a doubt, our next task is to firmly secure the number one position in the league, and then start the playoffs."

Reporter: "What do you think of the other two competitors, the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks?"

Currently, the Heat lead the league with 46 wins and 12 losses.

But the Eagles also have a record of 46 wins and 13 losses, only half a game away from the Heat.

The Golden State Warriors are close behind with a record of 44 wins and 12 losses, and they are only one game away from the Heat.

The records of the three teams are very close and they are in the same tier.

The closest teams are the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, with records of 40-18 and 38-20, respectively.

That's right.

After Bosh was reimbursed, the Grizzlies still maintained their competitiveness, but the recent decline has become apparent.

They have been opened up by the Heat, Warriors, and Eagles by several wins. They are basically in the second echelon, and they are no longer able to compete for the league's first record.

Now the threat to the Heat, in addition to the Eagles, is the Warriors.

Xue Liancheng thought for a while and replied: "The Eagles are a team with excellent teamwork. They cooperate very well, but we are not afraid of competition, and the Golden State Warriors are a very fierce offensive team. They've been taught that, and they're going to be our biggest roadblock to No. [-] in the league."

The reporter froze for a moment, then realized: "You mean, you have only one competitor, the Golden State Warriors?"

Xue Liancheng nodded slightly: "I don't mean to disrespect the eagle, but in my heart, it is like this."

They have met three times this season, with two kills and one loss.

The losing game was the one where Xue Liancheng was absent.

At the end of the season, that is, they will have their fourth confrontation in March, and he still has the confidence to beat them unless the Hawks explode.

But he thinks this possibility is unlikely...

in this way.

No matter what, they were overwhelmed by the Eagles and had an absolute advantage.

of course.

His main measurement is not this, but according to the historical trajectory, the final record of the Hawks is 60 wins and 22 losses, while the Golden State Warriors are 67 wins and 15 losses.

In other words, if nothing else, the Eagles will fall behind next.

The Golden State Warriors are their biggest opponent.

I don't know if the Warriors will lose a few more games under the flapping of his butterfly wings?
Anyway, looking at it now...

There is no sign of this...

He doesn't expect the Warriors to capsize in the gutter. What he needs to do now is to be himself and stabilize the Heat's record.

Only in this way can it be possible to compete with the Golden State Warriors for the first place in the league.

The reporter was quite surprised. It would be easy to offend people by saying so, but he didn't care about Xue Liancheng's life or death, and continued to dig holes: "Is the Atlanta Hawks so unbearable in your eyes?"

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment: "I never mean that, they are great, but in my opinion, they are not our biggest competitors."

But even if he explained it.

After the game, it was still used by the media to make a big fuss.

The headlines of many media have gone to the sky.

"After reaching the top of the league, Xue Liancheng said: I only have the Golden State Warriors in my eyes"

"After being proud of the entire league, Xue Liancheng made a bold statement: The Atlanta Hawks are not our opponents"

"The Heat have won 23 consecutive victories and reached the top of the league. Xue Liancheng said: Our competitor is only one, the Golden State Warriors"

"Successfully reached the top record in the league, but Xue Liancheng said: He doesn't care about the eagle at all"

The overwhelming distorted voice quickly reached the ears of everyone in the Eagles.

The reporter went directly to interview Budenholzer: "What do you want to say about Xue Liancheng's speech?"

Budenholzer was very angry: "We have been scorned by Chi Guoguo, which makes me very puzzled, why Xue Liancheng would disrespect us so much."

Just being kicked out of the league's No. [-] throne was depressing enough.

As a result, he said to the head of the family: he didn't take them seriously at all, and didn't regard them as competitors at all.

Hearing such contemptuous remarks, everyone would be furious.

Reporter: "So...what's your response to that?"

Budenholzer: "The loss of this game is not a reflection of our strength. We lack Teague and Carroll. One is the team's brain and the other is the defensive gate. If they are both there, we will not In the event of a power outage, we will not let Xue Liancheng do whatever he wants, so...my response is that I look forward to meeting them in the playoffs, and I want to see if his mouth is still so hard."

……

After interviewing Budenholzer, the reporter went to interview Horford again: "You should have heard Xue Liancheng's evaluation of you, right?"

Horford: "Very angry, but helpless because we lost the game."

Answer politely.

But after a pause, he changed the subject: "But this is not the reason for him to look down on us. We will prove to him who is not worthy to be who's opponent."

……

then.

The reporter interviewed Teague again: "Do you have any response to Xue Liancheng's remarks?"

Teague: "Wait, see you in the playoffs."

……

A lot of fans also talked about it.

Many people think that Xue Liancheng is too arrogant.

"If you win a game, you don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and look down on him? Hehe...he lacks two main cores."

"Indeed, the absence of Teague and Carroll will have a huge impact on the Eagles' offensive and defensive systems. The outcome of this game can't explain anything at all. Let Xue Liancheng go crazy."

"You look awesome, and see how people step on you when you lose."

"Xue Liancheng is very arrogant now..."

"No...he has been crazy. He provoked James just after playing a few games. After the Christmas game, he immediately threatened: see you and fight once."

"Human madness has its own day, I will see when he is finished..."

……

And Xue Liancheng also quickly realized the turbulence of the outside world, and the voice of crusade was very loud.

but.

These are all pediatrics.

He has encountered too much criticism and abuse. The most severe one was the post-match interview of the Christmas game. He threatened to beat LeBron and hit him every time he saw him.

At that time, criticism and abuse were truly overwhelming.

To what extent?

It swept like a tsunami, to the extent that the entire earth would be submerged.

It is conceivable how great the influence of his rhetoric is.

But in the end.

With his performance getting better and better, the Heat's record has also been rising, and the voice of criticism has slowly disappeared.

Until the second battle with the Cavaliers, Xue Liancheng beat James again.

This time.

The world is silent.

No one mentioned Xue Liancheng's bold words anymore.

why?

Because he did what he said, he really smashed James.

This is so...

There is no way to refute!
It is equivalent to choking their throats, making them unable to refute even if they want to refute.

Xue Liancheng shut them up with his own actions, and this was the final result.

and so.

This time he didn't respond, nor did he intend to.

Let time tell if what he said is true.

and……

He is not afraid of the Eagles' tactics.

In the eagle formation, there was no one worthy of his fear.

Ok.

don't explain...

In fact, he is not optimistic about the Eagles in his heart.

reason?

According to the historical trajectory, the Eagles were directly swept out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs this season...

In the next season's playoffs, they will be swept away...

There is no power to fight back at all.

It's really a parallel import.

Now that James can do it, he feels that he can too...

Just so confident.

In addition to a large number of critical voices, the mainstream media still marvels at the strength of the Heat.

"23 consecutive victories, the Heat occupy the second and third places in the winning streak"

"After crazy 23-game winning streak, Miami dominates the league"

"League's No. [-] record, the Heat deduce what it means to be invincible"

"Shoot the Eagles, the Heat Legend Continues"

"Leading by 20 points at halftime, Xue Liancheng kicked the Eagles off the altar"

Basically, they all praised the Heat's strength, especially the terrifying scoring explosiveness. More than three minutes before halftime, a wave directly took the game away.

This kind of strong performance makes people look sideways.

And that night.

The new MVP list has been updated.

This period, the game against the Eagles was not counted, but Xue Liancheng reached the top without any suspense.

This is also the first time he has reached the top of the list this season.

Comments: After the All-Star Game, the Heat won all five games. Xue Liancheng averaged 22.6 points, 10.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game. He has led the team to 22 consecutive victories, tied with the Rockets for the No.3 winning streak record. Unbelievable, the current Xue Liancheng is unstoppable, and the current Miami is also invincible. He is definitely one of the best players this season.

The fans were boiling in the middle of the night.

Especially the Heat fans, they couldn't help being rejoiced and excited.

It's not easy...

After grinding for more than half a season, their leading star has finally been recognized.

Don't think that this MVP list doesn't look too mainstream, and sometimes the selection is outrageous.

But it is a beacon for MVP voting.

Players who have not reached the top of the MVP list can basically say goodbye to the MVP.

In the first half of this season, Xue Liancheng didn't even make the top ten of the MVP list, which was a big disadvantage.

As a result, after entering the MVP list, he even got entangled with James, who had a corrupt record, for several periods.

With great difficulty, the record reached the standard, and the data was astonishing, but the result was still only second place.

Heat fans naturally have all kinds of grievances and anger in their hearts.

It looks like it's going to be March.

Heat fans are anxious.

just now……

Xue Liancheng finally climbed to the top of the list, making them feel all depressed.

The most important thing is that Xue Liancheng topped the MVP list, which really means that he has officially started to compete for MVP.

The previous two or three were only eligible for nomination.

If you want to win the award in the end, you must have the experience of topping the MVP list.

That's why they're so excited.

This time.

When the list came out, there was almost no controversy.

Because the Heat's record is too bad.

23 consecutive victories, pushing all the way, seeing who will destroy who.

The league's first record of 46 wins and 12 losses is the best in the league.

Xue Liancheng's own data is also very good, 22+10+5 has basically stabilized.

There is even a trend towards 23+11+5...

Besides.

As Paul's performance faded, his assist king has basically stabilized.

With such stats and the number one record in the league, if he can't reach the top of the MVP list, it's really unreasonable.

and so.

When the final list came out, the public was not too surprised, and naturally there was not much controversy.

after all……

There is nothing to argue about.

On record?
The Heat rank first in the league, and they are also carrying the prestige of 23 consecutive victories.

Trample the warriors under their feet.

There is a large distance from the rocket.

The record advantage is extremely obvious.

On data?
Xue Liancheng is 22+10+5, which is definitely good enough. In addition, he is sitting on the assist king's throne. Compared with other competitors, he is definitely not inferior.

And Curry's data still stays at 23+7, which is far behind Xue Liancheng.

The data is not comparable, and the record is not as good as the Heat, so it is logical to give up the top spot.

Harden's data is very stable, 27+7+5, which is as good as ever, but compared with Xue Liancheng, it can only be said between Zhongbo.

In terms of scoring, he is 4+ more than Xue Liancheng.

But in terms of assists, Xue Liancheng is 3+ more than him.

Looking at it this way, Xue Liancheng was even slightly ahead.

In addition, Xue Liancheng's efficiency is much higher than him.

There is such a big gap in record.

In the competition with Xue Liancheng, Harden's disadvantages gradually emerged.

As for James?
The Cavaliers' record is 36 wins and 24 losses. Compared with the Heat's 46 wins and 12 losses, the competitiveness is obviously more frustrated...

Or to be more precise, it's not at the same level at all, it's a full ten wins away!

The Heat stand still and let the Cavaliers chase, but the Cavaliers may not be able to catch up.

How to compete for MVP?

The record can't compare.

数据同样没有任何优势，25+7+6，谁敢拍着胸脯说这数据比22+10+5好？
No one dared to say that.

10+ assists, and the gold content of the assist king, is not comparable to 7+.

and so.

James has basically missed the MVP this season.

No matter how the round is impossible, it will be James' turn.

The main reason is that the record is too poor.

this night.

While the Heat fans were reveling, there were also some fans who were mourning...

Anyway, I just feel empty and unhappy...

I don't know why...

The next day.

When Xue Liancheng heard the news, he let out a sigh of relief.

He was worried that he was hacked again.

but……

Fortunately, the media did not dare to do such outrageous things.

of course.

Most importantly, the award of MVP is too heavy.

This represents the best player of the season, a person under the spotlight.

Who dares to make such an outrageous and blatant show operation?
The main thing is his lead, which has been slowly expanding.

Although the Warriors' record is good, Curry's data is not as good.

Harden's data is not bad, but his record is far behind.

The two of them are equivalent to being out of tune.

And he just happened to fit both ends.

Wade: "Xue, this is your first season. If you are elected MVP, remember to treat your guests to dinner. I will give you a good meal."

talking room.

He looked at Xue Liancheng with starry eyes.

He has played in the NBA for [-] full years, and he used to stand on the top of the mountain.

result.

He hasn't won an MVP once.

wrong……

Not only did he not win, even in the selection of votes, he only entered the top five twice.

分别是08-09赛季的No.3，09-10赛季的No.5。

In other years, he didn't even enter the top five.

What a pity...

in contrast.

In the first season of his little brother, he rushed to the top of the MVP list, and it was a certainty that he would enter the top three in the votes.

The chances of winning the MVP award in the end are also very high.

With such a comparison, he couldn't help being sour...

Xue Liancheng: "You have a share of the credit for this. If I win the award, I will send the trophy to your home and let you watch it for a week."

Wade rolled his eyes: "..."

Seeing Wade's funny expression, Xue Liancheng almost laughed out loud.

but.

He quickly restrained himself, looked at Wade seriously, and said solemnly, "No matter what others are, you are in my heart and will always be the MVP."

Ok……

Sincerely.

Without Wade's help and support, especially giving up his core position, there would be no him today.

and so.

Part of this MVP really belongs to Wade.

Totally from the heart...
