NBA: I am a master dealer

Zubac stood there shivering.

Obviously.

Regarding Mike Brown's arrangements, he always felt like his ID card was being read.

But no one cares about your feelings now, especially when you are still a rookie, everyone's attention will definitely not be on you.

and so……

After the substitution was proposed, no one would think it was inappropriate.

The game starts again.

As expected, George and others started to move actively. Although it was awkward and awkward to intersperse and cover, it was still much better than staying in place.

Xue Liancheng quickly found an opportunity and rushed in from the right side.

Wade's speed and strength are still very strong, but after all, he is old and his knees have been tortured, so when facing Xue Liancheng's crazy attack, he was obviously unable to keep up.

This resulted in the Heat having to assign one person to help defend.

And this is the effect Xue Liancheng wants.

The person who came out to help defend this time was Gasol, and Randall quickly seized the opportunity and suddenly accelerated towards the basket.

The dynamic image in Xue Liancheng's mind showed all this clearly. Although he was separated by a wall, he still threw the ball to the other side very accurately.

Randall rose up and launched a powerful dunk.

Although Gasol reacted, his body was so heavy that it was too late to contain him.

After landing.

Randall beat his chest and roared, obviously very excited about this easy score.

The cheers of the fans were like waves, each wave getting stronger and stronger. They were all extremely excited.

Just because Xue Liancheng showed his unparalleled ability, which was almost indistinguishable from their expectations.

O'Neal couldn't help but snap at this time, "The familiar Xue Liancheng is back."

Barkley: "Indeed, Xue's return has made the offense simpler. This is the influence of a top star. He feels like he has a system and everyone revolves around him. He can make the Lakers become the offensive firepower of the league. One of the strongest teams.”

Ernie Johnson: "Two-consecutive MVPs are definitely not in vain."

Next.

Xue Liancheng lived up to the fans' expectations and used his invincible vision to pass good balls again and again.

The Lakers' overall offensive rhythm has finally undergone a qualitative change.

And this change benefits everyone on the court.

The first is Randall, who has a strong body, excellent athletic ability, and good footwork. He really matches up with Xue Liancheng, especially at the end of the air cut, and he does a pretty good job.

Then there is Courtney Lee. His body is relatively mediocre, but he is very hardworking on the defensive end. He mainly focuses on the opponent's star defender. In this game, he led the entire defense against Wade, which consumed a lot of Wade's energy. Energy, and on the offensive end, he can shoot and cut. He can open up space and attack the basket, which is also a good fit for Xue Liancheng.

James Johnson does have some disadvantages when playing inside because of his height, but Porgitins is still no problem at power forward, and he can also shoot three-pointers on the offensive end and play fast breaks, which is the lubricant of the team.

As for George, since he made a name for himself with the Pacers, he has become accustomed to playing in isolation with the ball. The proportion of catch-and-shoot and air-cutting to the basket is already very small.

There are indeed certain differences in the styles of the two.

But no matter what, Xue Liancheng's return still provided George with huge help.

Before Xue Liancheng came back, as the team's main attacker, George was flanked, collided, and heavily guarded.

This caused George's efficiency to decline to a certain extent, and he often had crotch pulls.

With Xue Liancheng's return, he was basically not caught out. It felt like being pulled out of the quagmire, and he was rejuvenated on both offense and defense.

Halftime ended.

Although the two did not cooperate much, George still played an efficient performance, scoring 8 points on 5-of-13 shots, re-showing the style of the four big forwards.

The Lakers' offensive firepower was completely unleashed, leading the Miami Heat by 68 points 60:8 at halftime.

You know, the previous Lakers often scored 80 or 90 points in a whole game.

How can this kind of score win the game in a fast-paced era?
Now Xue Liancheng is in charge, which directly gives the Lakers' offense a completely new look.

O'Neal analyzed it this way: "They currently lack running-in and don't know each other well, but despite this, they still played a top offensive level. I can't imagine how the Lakers will evolve in the future?"

Barkley: "Also, since Xue Liancheng has just come back, he doesn't have much playing time. He only played 7 minutes in the first quarter and only more than 6 minutes in the second quarter. In the limited playing time, he actually provided the Lakers with not much playing time." Not only the changes on the offensive end, I think the most important thing is to give others confidence, vitality, and the pride of the Purple and Gold Army. This team is like a butterfly, breaking out of its cocoon and being reborn. This is Xue Liancheng's personal performance."

Ernie Johnson: "You forgot one very important thing. The Miami Heat are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They rank second in the league in points allowed and limit their opponents to 96 points per game. Now the Lakers have scored a high score of 68 points, which is enough to show how powerful Xue Liancheng's personal penetration is."

O'Neal: "Indeed, there is no way to intercept at all. If you want to cut off the Lakers' passing route, Xue Liancheng will make you pay a heavy price."

really.

In the second half, Spoelstra changed his defensive strategy and no longer carried out various deadly attacks on Xue Liancheng.

And Xue Liancheng also used his absolute breakthrough ability to teach his old club a lesson.

In just over 6 minutes of play in the third quarter, he scored 7 points on 5-of-12 shooting, which bankrupted Spoelstra's defensive strategy.

O'Neal commented: "Although Xue Liancheng has not played in games for more than half a year, his offensive ability is still online, especially his breakthrough ability, which is still so unstoppable."

Barkley: "It seems that Xue Liancheng is recovering well."

Ernie Johnson: "Xue Liancheng's return has directly transformed the Lakers from a bad team from beginning to end into a strong team that can compete head-on with the Miami Heat. Xue Liancheng is indeed amazing."

O'Neal sighed: "So... when Kupchak brought Xue Liancheng in the offseason, you know, I chatted with Kupchak for an hour that night, and I was amazed by Kupchak's wise decision. , with Xue Liancheng, the Lakers will be extremely competitive in the next ten years. Looking at it now, I have obviously underestimated Xue Liancheng. His arrival can make the Lakers a championship contender in the next ten years."

no doubt.

The live broadcast of the entire game focused on Xue Liancheng's commentary, and the core of the theme was Xue Liancheng.

Whether it's Xue Liancheng's past or present, or some interesting stories, they are all brought out to cheer him up. Buckley: "I'm wondering now if Zen Master Jackson has lost his mind and actually gave up Xue Liancheng to get a defeated general who was defeated by Xue Liancheng."

Ernie Johnson: "This is what's interesting. Maybe Dolan was thinking that Xue Liancheng + James + Oladipo + Lopez could sweep everything, but he didn't expect that Xue Liancheng and James had such a deep grudge. To the point of disharmony, Xue Liancheng was finally lost."

O'Neal: "No matter what happened, Xue belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers now. As a senior, I am proud of him."

The game continues.

In the last quarter, the Heat did not give up, but fought fiercely.

And Xue Liancheng once again demonstrated his ability to harvest the game at critical moments.

finally.

The Lakers defeated the powerful rival Miami Heat 127:117 and successfully stopped their decline.

Xue Liancheng's first Lakers debut after his comeback was perfect. He played 28 minutes, made 15 of 9 shots, and scored 25 points. He also had 11 assists and 5 rebounds.

There was no flaw in the overall performance. In the situation where there was not much playing time, he not only produced stable output, but also organized the team's offense in an orderly manner.

His return allows people to see the strength of two consecutive MVPs.

The Lakers have truly completed their transformation, from a rotten and smelly team to a feared existence by other teams in the league.

This is the change brought about by Xue Liancheng.

而乔治表现也不错，17中10拿到了28分7篮板3助攻，数据也同样华丽漂亮。

Although he and Xue Liancheng didn't cooperate much, the deterrent power of the two's horns could effectively create a good space.

This gave Xue Liancheng an opportunity to perform his top passing game.

And George also gained a lot. When Xue Liancheng pulled aside to intimidate, no one dared to let George go easily. This made it easy for George to find his comfortable shooting spot, and his shooting efficiency also increased greatly.

Both of them are currently benefiting greatly from each other's existence.

When O'Neal concluded, he also mentioned this issue: "This game was played perfectly. Xue Liancheng proved that he is still the top superstar in the league. The injury did not have any impact on him at all. It is the relationship between Xue Liancheng and George. There is a little lack of cooperation, which needs Mike Brown to find a way to solve.”

Barkley: "George's positioning is a role like Oladipo and Wade, but George's situation is a bit special. You say he has no physical talent. That is absolutely wrong, but if you let him impact, He doesn't have the explosive power to dominate the basket, and his speed cannot be compared with the guards Oladipo and Wade. Therefore, George's advantages in fast breaks and finishing are not obvious. This is the tricky part. "

Ernie Johnson: "George's singles ability is pretty good, and he should be better than Oladipo. If the two of them want to have a chemical reaction, in addition to Mike Brown's tactical arrangements, it also depends on whether the two stars are willing to play together. Willing to make changes.”

O'Neal couldn't agree more: "Ernie's comments really get to the root of it. Only when George changes his singles habits and slowly integrates into Xue Liancheng's offensive system can the Lakers truly become a championship-level team."

Barkley: "Not only does George need to change, but Xue also needs to make concessions on the ball, such as adding more runs to cover and create a better environment for George to play in isolation."

After all, he is an old man. In a few words, he pointed out the problems currently faced by the Lakers and gave practical solutions.

of course.

No one can teach them exactly how to do it. Only Xue Liancheng and George can understand it on their own, and then find the point that supports the balance. Only in this way can the Lakers truly rise to the level of strength that can bravely collide with the universe.

Fortunately, they still have plenty of time.

And here, there is actually a prerequisite, that is, reaching the playoffs, only then can we talk about other things.

If you don't even get a ticket for the playoffs, no matter how much you say, it's nonsense.

The fans were still very satisfied with Xue Liancheng's debut performance, especially in the last two minutes, the Heat rushed very hard and looked like they were about to gain momentum.

But Xue Liancheng followed closely and hit two consecutive three-pointers, which directly shut down the Miami Heat.

This scoring ability at critical moments has been verified again.

This illustrates a crucial issue, that is, the overall impact of injuries on Xue Liancheng is not great. Xue Liancheng is still at the level of a superstar, but he has not played for a long time, and his overall condition seems a bit rusty.

This is the biggest good news for the Lakers.

After all, although victory is important, it is far from being as important as Xue Liancheng's health and strength being damaged.

The fans were also excited at this time.

"Let me just say, Xue Liancheng will show the world his ability to lead a team."

"The game was a bit difficult, but Xue Liancheng is still the top star. His style of play and the way he plays can indeed bring his own system. His offensive rhythm is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water."

"The league's top superstar is back, everyone... please be careful not to tremble."

"If nothing else, the teams currently in the playoffs in the Western Conference will definitely be panicked. The Lakers must occupy a playoff spot."

"Universe Yong may also be panicking. Xue Liancheng led the team to defeat the Warriors in the Finals twice, which is enough to prove that he has the key to defeat the Warriors. As long as Xue Liancheng and George can have a chemical reaction, the Lakers will not be afraid of any team."

"Even being able to defeat Miami, the leader in the Eastern Conference, speaks for itself."

Everyone is marveling at the changes in the Lakers and praising Xue Liancheng's strength, which makes them full of confidence in this Lakers.

Some fans also noticed the detail of calling a timeout shortly after the start.

Many people are worried about whether there is something wrong with the team. What they are most afraid of is internal strife among the players, especially during the timeout. The whole team is talking bad, and the situation looks very wrong.

Not long after, the original audio video was finally leaked. The most important thing is that the technology of this era has made great progress. Different cameras can record any details of the game process.

Naturally, the media will not miss an unexpected incident like this, which calls for a pause in training in the first few rounds.

As soon as this video came out, the whole circle was in an uproar.

"Oh my God! There's such an internal strife!"

"It's okay. I think the previous Lakers' playing attitude did have problems, and the final result should be solved very well."

"Xue Liancheng is not young, but he has unquestionable leadership qualities."

"Two consecutive MVPs, two consecutive FMVPs, he has achieved great success in just two years, and has become the true face of the league. Can the pressure he brings not be great?"
