NBA: I am a master dealer

Although he has won two championships and reached his peak as soon as he debuted, and can even be said to have swept the entire league, after all, it has only been two years. It is really a bit arrogant to talk about his historical status at this time.

And he himself feels that what this goat needs is the judgment of others. His current achievements are obviously far from enough.

At least before winning six championships, he didn't think he could compete with Jordan.

He only won six championships. At that time, even if he didn't say anything, others would put him in that position and compare him.

There is absolutely no need to praise yourself and follow the truth.

The reporter finally asked the core question: "So do you think you can lead the team to compete with the Warriors this season?"

Xue Liancheng: "First of all, I have to praise my teammates. They showed their toughest side and provided me with a huge boost whether on the offensive or defensive end. How strong is the Warriors?" I don’t need to go into details, but I believe that with the mental outlook we have shown now, we can still fight with them. Maybe they are also afraid of us at this moment.”

By the end, he was laughing himself.

Whether the Warriors are afraid of the Lakers, he can't say for sure, but Curry and Thompson are definitely afraid of him.

After all, he was sent back on the finals stage for two consecutive seasons. It goes without saying how heavy this blow was.

Hearing this, reporters were shocked: "Are warriors afraid of you?"

Xue Liancheng smiled: "Isn't it incredible?"

After the reporter nodded, he shook his head and said seriously: "Perhaps you are the only one in the entire league who can say this more convincingly."

Xue Liancheng smiled and said nothing: "..."

As soon as this interview came out, the already excited Lakers fans instantly fell into a boiling ocean.

"Xue finally spoke out. It seems that there is hope for the championship this season."

"Haha...that's good. Maybe others are more scared than us?"

"That's right! I don't know who is afraid of whom..."

"This is the self-confidence of a king. Everyone knows how powerful Universe Yong is, and only Xue Liancheng dares to say such words."

“I’m looking forward to the playoffs more and more.”

In fact, if Xue Liancheng was interviewed, there would be no problem in principle and he would be more cautious.

As a result, the fans were so supportive, which was incredible. It made it seem as if the Warriors were really afraid of the Lakers. The overwhelming comments directly pushed the Lakers' momentum to the highest peak.

While the fans continue to build momentum for Xue Liancheng, the Lakers are still moving forward.

The next day.

The Lakers faced the Grizzlies' challenges back-to-back at home.

The Grizzlies this season surprised everyone. Before the start of the season, everyone thought that after losing Bosh, the Grizzlies would fall quickly.

I never expected that the Grizzlies would be so strong. Conley, the billionaire man, had the best season of his career and led the team forward.

Even Xue Liancheng was surprised. He also didn't expect that the Grizzlies could maintain such combat effectiveness after losing their pillar inside line. He had to admire their resilience.

As of now, the Grizzlies' record is 39 wins and 37 losses, which is worse than the historical trajectory.

According to the historical trajectory, the Grizzlies should have exceeded 40 wins and ranked seventh in the Western Conference. Now they have fallen directly to eighth, with teams chasing after them.

That's right.

Although the Trail Blazers are fundamentally rotten this season, they have been very strong recently and have successfully surpassed the Nuggets. Their record has reached 36 wins and 40 losses, and they still pose a certain potential threat to the Grizzlies.

of course.

In fact, the threat is not great. After all, there are six games left, but there is a three-game victory difference. It is extremely difficult for the Blazers to catch up.

But at least there is hope, right?
It seems impossible for the Grizzlies to take a step forward. After all, the Thunder have 42 wins and 33 losses, and they also maintain a certain distance from the Grizzlies. It is equally difficult for the Grizzlies to catch up.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Thunder and Clippers have the same number of losses, 33 games each, but the Clippers have played 3 more games, resulting in a clear gap between the two sides.

As long as the Thunder can maintain a complete victory, the Clippers' sixth position in the Western Conference may not be stable.

The Lakers are still fighting for the top four in the Western Conference. Currently with 45 wins and 31 losses, they are fairly secure in the fifth place in the Western Conference.

The Utah Jazz, who are fourth in front of them, have a record of 47 wins and 29 losses, which is two games behind them.

It’s not much, but with just six games left, it’s definitely a lot.

As for the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors, it can basically be said that the top three are locked.

The only suspense is who can take the top spot between the 58-win Spurs and the 62-win Warriors.

and so.

The competition in the Western Conference is still very fierce at present.

The Lakers cannot give up at this time and will naturally go all out in the game against the Grizzlies.

The results are obvious.

The Lakers finally defeated the Grizzlies 118:103 and continued their winning streak.

On this game day, another good news soon came. The Utah Jazz lost to the Spurs 103:109.

Under the circumstances, the winning gap between the Lakers and Jazz has narrowed to only 1 game.

The Lakers' top four goals still sparkle with hope.

In this game, Xue Liancheng was still brave, shooting 17 of 9 from the field and scoring 31 points, 15 assists and 6 rebounds.

During the recent period of George's truce, his personal data has significantly improved, which also fully proved his ability to lead the team.

George brought the same lineup before, but achieved a record of 13 wins and 26 losses, which is really hard to describe.

In the three games that George missed, the Lakers easily won three consecutive games.

Doesn't this explain the problem?
Even celebrity glove Payton joked: If George doesn't come back, the Lakers may find that George doesn't seem to be that important.

And George's main thing is to be obedient.

The next day.

In the game against the Spurs, he finally came back.

Originally, this game should have attracted much attention. After all, the real first-tier teams in the Western Conference are the Lakers, Spurs, and Warriors.

Before the playoffs are about to come, if the two sides compete, they should be able to see each other's general strength.

result.

Leonard only played 14 minutes, Aldridge only played 16 minutes, and Parker also played 16 minutes. It is obvious that Popovich is conserving his strength and does not want the outside world to detect the depth of the Spurs.

This disappointed everyone, and even the commentator cursed Popovich as a chicken thief, and solemnly declared: "This is a sign of lack of confidence. Anyway, if you want to break out of the Western Conference, you have to get over the Lakers or Warriors. You There is no escape.”

Commentator: "That's true. Avoiding the fight will lose momentum psychologically. Popovich may not realize that doing so may also be psychologically traumatic for the players."

Host: "Is it possible that...being trampled by the Lakers will cause greater psychological trauma to the players?"

Commentator: "That's okay! In the battle with the Lakers, regardless of winning or losing, isn't it easier to sum up experience and correct one's shortcomings? Besides... they may not lose."

Commentator: "What's so traumatic about this? Don't forget that when Xue Liancheng came back, the Lakers were defeated by the Spurs. The strength of both sides has actually been verified. There is no such thing as being unable to lose."

Host: "That's Popovich's own consideration. It's hard for us to guess what he is thinking..."

The commentator sarcastically said: "What else can you think of? He is afraid of the Lakers..."

This statement was recognized by everyone, and it also verified what Xue Liancheng said before - maybe they are also afraid of the Lakers at this moment.

And they are not just warriors! Might as well be the Spurs. This is Xue Liancheng's intimidation. Before they actually meet, he doesn't dare to show his sword, and he has no spirit to show his sword at all.

But after all, people said, the Spurs didn't react at all!
It really gives people a very dull feeling.

At the same time, an illusion of unfathomable depth evolved.

After defeating the Spurs, the Lakers continued to the next stop, the Kings.

Naturally, there will be no expectations for this game.

The same is true.

The Lakers effortlessly defeated this rotten team 111:94.

This is the end.

The Lakers won another 11 consecutive victories.

It truly shows what it means to be unstoppable and indestructible.

At this time, the media also started to build momentum, and the momentum became louder, believing that the Lakers would be the only team that poses a threat to Universe Yong.

The reason is also very simple.

Xue Liancheng has proven himself countless times, and George is also a first-class presence in the league. The combination of the two does not seem to be worse than Curry + Durant. In addition, there are superstars like Randall and Feng Lai. Clarkson and James Johnson on the bench are both very strong in immediate combat, as well as a group of high-quality role players who also look very luxurious.

of course.

The biggest proof is that after Xue Liancheng came back, he led the team to a record of 32 wins and 5 losses, with a winning rate of 86.4%, which is simply invincible.

This kind of momentum makes people look like they can really give it a try with the Warriors.

And the next day, there was another good news.

In back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers, the Jazz lost 86:101 and their record reached 49 wins and 31 losses.

The Lakers are 48 wins and 31 losses, and the winning margin is 0.5 games. This is because the Lakers have played one less game.

If the Lakers win the next game, their record will be the same.

At this time, we need to look at the direct results of the two sides.

Unfortunately, the Lakers lost to the Jazz 1:3 this season. Even if the record is the same, it is still difficult for the Lakers to defeat the Jazz.

Only if the Jazz lose one more game in the remaining games can the Lakers occupy the fourth position.

The Lakers have three games left, namely the Timberwolves, Pelicans and Warriors.

The first two teams are nothing to worry about...ugh! It seems that the Pelicans' twin towers are quite strong and can restrain the Lakers' weakness inside. However, considering that the Pelicans have completely missed the playoffs, Davis may not be available, and Cousins ​​is injured, the Lakers won this There shouldn't be any big problems in this game.

Only the Warriors are considered a preview of the playoffs.

Or more accurately, a preview of the Western Conference showdown.

result.

The Lakers encountered problems in the game against the Timberwolves.

Wiggins and Towns both had big explosions. The former made 26 of 13 and scored 41 points relying on his free throw ability. The talent of the No. pick is really off the charts.

And Towns was even more outrageous, shooting 22 of 17. While scoring a crazy 40 points, he also grabbed an astonishing 22 rebounds.

Really turned on the rage mode.

There is no doubt that at this stage, Towns has not yet been called a softie, and young people still dare to fight.

The two scored 81 points together and almost overturned the Lakers.

Fortunately, Xue Liancheng was tough enough at the critical moment, or to be precise, his golden thigh was big enough, so he managed to overtake at the last moment and finally took away the victory of this game.

The score was 111:109, only a 2-point win.

That's right.

Except for the two No. 28 picks, the Timberwolves only scored points in total.

Among these 28 points, there were 12 points from Guion and 12 points from Mohammed.

The other five players who played scored only 4 points.

It's simply unbelievable.

Among them, Lu Yuanwai scored 10 points on 1 of 2. Rubio finally transformed.

The Lakers here.

Xue Liancheng did not perform well in this game, hitting 19 of 8. With free throws and three-pointers, he barely scored 25 points and sent 10 assists.

This kind of performance is really average for Xue Liancheng.

George wasn't very good either, shooting 16 of 6 and only scoring 16 points.

Fortunately, Randall was tough enough. He made 16 of 9 shots and scored 24 points and 14 rebounds. He barely matched Towns. This allowed the team to reach the final moment and Xue Liancheng had a chance to complete the harvest.

After beating the Timberwolves, then beat the Pelicans.

As expected.

Without the Twin Towers, the Lakers directly eliminated this opponent without any blood, and their record reached 50 wins and 31 losses.

And the Jazz were tough enough to beat the Spurs.

But these are actually not important anymore. Since the Clippers have lost two games more than the Lakers and Jazz, the Clippers have officially withdrawn from competing for fourth and fifth place.

And if the Jazz and Lakers don't win this game, the Clippers still have a chance to catch up. After all, they may lose 33. In a direct match, between the Clippers and the Jazz, the Clippers have a 3:0 advantage.

After the Jazz and Lakers won, they would only lose 32 at most, and the Clippers were already out early.

At this time, Lakers fans were completely excited.

The intra-city rivalry in Los Angeles that has been going on for so long has finally come to an end.

"Now, immediately, resign immediately, pig head stew!"

"Today is a good day! What a good day!"

"Set off firecrackers! Please take off!"

"Congratulations to old Rivers for his great reputation, which is about to be ruined."

"Hey! Xue Liancheng left you an unforgettable lesson."

"Remember, the king cannot be provoked."

There is no doubt that at this moment when the dust settled, all Lakers fans and Xue Liancheng fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Lakers fans were excited, but the Clippers' official website also exploded.

"It's great! You can't speak with your brain, and you are really stepped on by the Lakers. How can you be right this time?"

"Old Rivers has been crying in the bathroom. He originally had the determination to fight to the death against the Jazz in the end, but... now he doesn't even have the determination to give you."

"Please ask the Clippers to disband where they are. We can't afford to lose that person."

"Ha! Let's see how you end up." (End of chapter)
