Chapter 109, Off-the-Field Factors.

Two straight losses aren't really much of a deal for the Trail Blazers.

It's really nothing to lose face at home.

It's just that the passivity of the scene makes McMillan feel a little worried.

The strength of the Pistons is not strong, but the Trail Blazers are suppressed by the other side.

Injuries to too many players have caused the Trail Blazers' defensive system to collapse.

They can rely on superstars offensively, but they rely on the whole team defensively.

On November 20, the Trail Blazers, who challenged the Golden State Warriors away, still lost badly, and their record changed to 10-4, and the ranking fell to third in the West.

Although the situation of the Warriors this year is also quite miserable, they are different from the Trail Blazers, they are mainly chaotic in management and serious internal friction among players!

Since last season, many players in the Warriors, including Belineri, Wright, Randolph and many others, have been at odds with the head coach, and the conflict between Bay Area boss Chris Mullin and management has been almost public, and they have continued infighting. In the shadow of the old Nelson's dictatorship, the Warriors have now become a bad team as well.

In this game against the Warriors, McMillan emphasized personnel rotation, and he asked all players to improve their enthusiasm to participate in defense, but there is no way, the enthusiasm is enough, but the talent is insufficient, especially the second team, which was completely hammered by the Warriors, and they played too poorly.

In this game, Xue Ding once again scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and his data is a standard Xue Ding characteristic.

Of course, the controversy is very big, because Xue Ding grabbed rebounds and launched an attack when he was behind by a big score, even Ade's rebounds were not missed, and then the overall shooting rate was low.

Xue Ding's actions have become the talk of controversy among fans.

Some fans think that Xue Ding grabbed the rebound in order to launch a fast break and get closer to the score faster.

Some fans think that Xue Ding is desperately brushing the data for his own triple-doubles, and he is a real big brush.

"Sanshuang was made very cheap by Xue Ding."

"When he grabbed Aldridge's rebound, I thought he was a brush."

"His triple-double has a share of the credit to Purbizla."

"As a guard with the most offensive rebounds, Xue Ding's rebounding ability is beyond doubt."

"I don't know if you have noticed that the current fans are asking for Xue Bawang according to the standards of the Trail Blazers boss."

"Not many people remember him as a rookie."

Eighty percent of the debates among the fans are attacking, and two percent are defending.

After the game, Xue Ding looked at the report that was obviously divided into two groups, and he also smiled bitterly.

He began to understand that Wei Shao had to take the blame when he lost.....

Xue Ding also knew that all this was due to losing.

Now the way is to try to win, as soon as you start to win, then all this criticism will turn into praise!

……

On Nov. 21, the Trail Blazers continued to challenge the Jazz on the road.

This game was a back-to-back game for the Trail Blazers, slightly pitted.

Back-to-back is a lack of physical fitness, and the Trail Blazers, who had little rotation, completely collapsed at home on the plateau.

Xue Ding's physical fitness is no problem, the whole audience is like an electric small motor flying and running, but the whole team is in a slump.

Even Ade only hit 5 of 20 shots today, as long as it is a mid-shot, it will hang when he looks at it.

88 to 110.

In fact, the Trail Blazers were already trailing by as many as 25 points after three quarters.

Sloan has already put an ingrained label on the Jazz, who have had minimal turnover compared to last season, so the consistency of the roster is a big advantage over the Trail Blazers. In this game, under Sloan's strategy, the Jazz vividly interpreted the essence of blocking and pick-and-roll tactics.

And Delon, who got rid of injury troubles and got a big contract, also played efficient statistics in this game, with 36 points and 13 assists, which also shows that he will continue to compete with Paul for the title of the league's chief point guard.

Xue Ding didn't get a triple-double in this game, and his statistics were 17 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 turnovers.

Most of the reasons for low assists and high turnovers are passive, because Xue Dingchuan's teammates just can't shoot, and even teammates are unstable in receiving the ball.

Role players such as Webster and Blake have also shown their incompetence.

Except for Xue Ding and Ade, none of the Trailblazers scored a double!!

What the hell is this?

Although Xue Ding was also very unhappy with the loss, Xue Ding still resisted all the responsibilities when facing the interview.

"We made too many mistakes – at least I made too many mistakes, and that's why we lost!"

At the same time, Xue Ding also denied the outside world's belief that the Trail Blazers' locker room collapsed: "I know our morale is good, and that's the most important thing." We had a great atmosphere in the dressing room and I'm optimistic about the future of the team, so everything is fine. ”

"We're going to win."

The Trail Blazers suffered a 4-game losing streak!

Because of these two games, Xue Ding was crazy obsessed with backward jumpers and pull-outs during the game, and he continued to be complained about by fans.

Xue Ding's two shooting postures and Shen Yun are indeed quite the style of Kobe and Maddie, and when fans first saw it, they were really shocked by Xue Ding.

But later they found out that Xue Ding's back was as picturesque as Kobe, but the hit rate seemed to have been infected with ferric tetroxide by nagging.

Xue Ding's dry pull is indeed as handsome as Maddie, but I feel that this is the dry pull used by Maddie after the injury, and he frequently strikes iron.

It's all just a showmanship.

Xue Ding's shooting percentage is below the average for the season.

As soon as this game ended, Xue Hei on the Internet instantly occupied the major post bars, and they felt that they had a chance to hack Xue Ding.

At this time, Xue Ding's other nickname also began to gain fame.

Xue Ding, who brushed data, is known as "Xue Brush"

When Xue Ding was brushing the tiger pounce at home, he almost squirted out the water he was drinking.

Especially when he saw that the senior fans who did it thought that Xue Ding had touched the rookie wall, Xue Ding was even more speechless.

Xue Ding himself knows very well that his strength is almost at this level, but he was pitted by his weak teammates, and when he feels bad, Xue Ding can't forcibly dominate the game, after all, he has not yet reached the S level.

Of course, all these problems stem from their own state, but in fact, they are also average!!

After the Trail Blazers lost, Kenny Smith was ridiculed by Charles Barkley.

"This is what you think the MVP is?"

"As far as I know, the team that should not have an MVP will suffer a 5-game losing streak, and the next game for the Trail Blazers is to face the league's No. 1 Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are now on an 8-game winning streak, do you think the Trail Blazers can get through?"

"James will blow up Xue in this game, there is still a gap between the MVP and the average player, Kenny."

Barkley laughs at his partner on the show! He liked Xue Ding from the beginning, and slowly turned into Xue Hei.

Xue Ding didn't have time to watch this show because he was very busy, and he was going to pick up Yaya at the airport.
