Chapter 146, The Deal Made, Christmas Eve.

Every time the 76ers' Iguodala barely misses a shot, the 76ers have trouble on the defensive end.

They will be immediately counterattacked by Xue Ding and Miller.

When Iguodala wanted to return to the defense, Xue Ding rushed through the half.

Playing on the counter-attack is the best chance to open up the difference.

In the last quarter, Xue Ding continued to play and played for 6 minutes.

Xue Ding relied on Oden's cover, got rid of the heel defense reed, shot a three-pointer, and opened the difference to 20 points, Xue Ding was replaced at the break, against the 76ers, who were obviously lacking in star, and the Trail Blazers had already locked up the win.

When the final whistle came to mind, the Trail Blazers edged the 76ers 103-84.

Iguodala played 45 minutes in this game, 9 of 26 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 9 free throws, 26 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 8 turnovers, his shooting rate was only 33.3%, the efficiency was extremely low, and under the crazy bag of the Trail Blazers, his high shot brought high scoring, which also brought the bane to the 76ers' rout.

Xue Ding played 33 minutes in this game, 8 of 16 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, 27 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 turnovers.

Judging from the data alone, Xue Ding's efficiency is much higher than that of Iguodala.

But the two played in different positions, and if Xue Ding was put in the position of Iguodala, he couldn't take these teammates.

The 76ers have given Iguodala extremely limited help, Iguodala himself is a person who needs strong teammates, and without strong teammates, it is strange that he can play well.

Just look at Oden's stats, he barely jumped to get a double-double.

Oden picked up the rebounds himself after watching Xue Ding's rebounds and double-doubles, thanks to the excellent iron playing skills of the 76ers' role players!!

Aldridge had a dumpling today, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line for 29 points and five rebounds.

………………...

Press conference.

The reporters asked Xue Ding to evaluate the performance of the 76ers today.

Xue Ding said: "They are very talented, but they don't play well, I hope they can play at a normal level next time they come here, and look forward to playing against them next time." ”

It's no wonder if you don't look forward to a big win over your opponent.

Seeing Xue Ding's answer in such a formal manner, the reporters were a little disappointed, and they expected to see Xue Ding speak more arrogantly, so that the hype would be more topical.

Xue Ding also knew what the reporters meant, and hoped that he would say that he was the opponent's spicy chicken.

But Xue Ding didn't want to use this way to increase the topic on himself.

The Trail Blazers' big win was because the lineup was reasonable and Xue Ding's teammates were also strong.

Who can guarantee that they will stay in the strong team for the rest of their lives

Who can guarantee that the opposite star will stay on the underdog for the rest of his life

Iguodala was a big deal when he went to the Warriors.....

It's right to keep a low profile.

Xue Ding himself is just a player, in the final analysis, he will be closer to the NBA players of the 76ers in some ways, while reporters, management and so on are not the same class.

For example, Sanpao set an example for other players, and took a contract with an annual salary of 40 million just to set an example for him to be the chairman of the players' union.

Anyway, the boss doesn't give him that much money, and he can't get it.

A reporter deliberately asked in trouble: "Is it your credit that Iguodala had a low hit rate today?"

Xue Ding smiled: "No, no, it's all the credit of my teammates, I'm lucky, my teammates are very strong, and Greg's comeback has helped us a lot." ”

Xue Ding's interviews have always been very boring, which disappointed reporters.

………………..

After this game, the Trail Blazers continued their December schedule non-stop.

…..

Before Christmas, the Trail Blazers ushered in the comeback of Miller and Oden!!

The Youths also had a 12-3 record before Christmas, helping the Trail Blazers get back to second place in the West.

A lot of things happened before Christmas.

The most striking was Arenas and his teammates fighting each other in the locker room.

After the Wizards' gunpoint was exposed, the U.S. Bureau of Justice intervened in the investigation, and more inside information was revealed.

Arenas drew his gun and confronted him because he had an unpleasant argument with Corey Tanton gambling on cards, which also sparked a debate about whether the league should ban gambling.

Xue Ding's previous attitude towards gun ownership was to watch the news, but after he joined the NBA, he realized how terrifying it was to have a teammate like Arenas in the locker room.

Fortunately, the players of the Trail Blazers are all normal people, although there are inevitably some minor contradictions, but that is basically not a thing.

The basketball on the team also seems very pure.

In addition to the guns, there is also the Trail Blazers' own business, and the Trail Blazers' trade is finally done.

The Trail Blazers sent Outlaw, Blake, Cunningham and a 2011 second-round pick in exchange for an injured Chandler.

Xue Ding said goodbye to his teammates as soon as possible and welcomed new teammates to join.

Chandler's entry into the Trail Blazers caused quite a stir in the league.

ESPN believes the Trail Blazers' move is to counter the Lakers and the Cavaliers' interior line.

If Chandler and Oden can play more than 25 minutes, then the Trail Blazers won't suffer against the league's top interior players!!

Fox Sports believes that the Trail Blazers' move is a great risk, it is a gamble, and Rose City, known as the center terminator, welcomes a glass man center, which is simply not too compatible, and sends away the three instant forces, and they will be punished for it.

Most Trail Blazers fans cheered Chandler's arrival, because if the team can raise Chandler in the future, then the championship is expected.

This trade has attracted the attention of the Lakers, Cavaliers and other giants.

Because they feel that the rise of the Trailblazers has become unstoppable.

Almost all the top teams have encountered the Trail Blazers, and they all know the horror of the Trail Blazers now.

And none of the Trail Blazers they've met are full lineups, and their Roy hasn't come back yet.

…………….

On the evening of December 23.

Xue Ding was about to go to the airport to pick up Yaya.

The two made an appointment to spend Christmas and New Year's Day together.

On the way to the airport, Xue Ding suddenly had a lot of ideas about his strength.

Xue Ding knows that if he continues to develop like this, he will become a superstar one day sooner or later, and he will stand at the top of the NBA sooner or later.

But recently, Xue Ding's three-point shooting has become his problem again, and the shooting rate has always been below average, and he can score but is not efficient.

Xue Ding, who knew the general trend of the future, found that he was not strong enough, because even if he played point guard and became an MVP-level Wei Shao, he couldn't escape a sad ending!

In the future, if the Trail Blazers change dramatically, without these strong teammates, can they cope without three-point support?

How can you become stronger as soon as possible?

Along the way, Xue Ding fantasized about his future, and it would be nice if his three-point shot was as strong as Curry or Thompson

Can Curry's Legendary Challenge Mode help him learn Curry's threes?

This one is uncertain.

Xue Ding also knew.

When you learn Curry's three points, then a problem will be solved, and your own troubles will not be very big.

Xue Ding thought while driving, and arrived at the airport!
