Chapter 31, The Rising Pioneer.
"Beep"
When the electronic beep that represents the end of the game sounds.
Xue Ding could see Billups frustrating his braces.
"Click."
Billups didn't have any communication with Anthony and turned away.
This time, Anthony scored 43 points but failed to help the team win, and it can be seen from his attitude of bowing his head directly back to the locker room after the game that he is not in a good mood. The NBA air slashing group leader is none other than him today.
The battle in the Northwest Division is quite important.
Xue Ding also felt that the melon was quite pitiful.
There are a bunch of helpers on his side, and the rotation lineup is deep.
And the current Nuggets are good starters, but the bench is simply a group of guys who go to the CBA to eat.....
After J.R. Smith was transferred to the starter, he was in good shape, shooting 45% from three-point range, which is a very scary number. He averaged just 27.7 minutes per game last season, but he still scored a career-high 15.2 points, and he scored 20 points in this game, which is considered an excellent start.
Birdman is also good, his popularity is very high, even many big-name players can't match him, he averaged 6.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season, this game is amazing...
But other than that, no one else has outperformed expectations.
In addition to the Nuggets' roster problems, they also have big problems defensively.
In this game, the Nuggets made the same mistake and were roasted by Roy, the Trail Blazers' point guard.
In JR Smith's artificial intelligence instructions, only one can be opened at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the defense is a human ATM.
Balkman didn't get a chance to play, so in the fourth quarter, Anthony Carter was kicked off the rack, but the old guy was too slow.
And then the Billups defense is all about experience...
And Anthony has a defensive future, and it won't be so miserable.
Lineup plus defensive issues, so it seems natural to see them lose to the Trail Blazers with a full roster.
After all, what they encountered was the poor version of the Big Four of "O'Neal" + "Kobe" + "Wei Shao" + "Ade".
Xue Ding looked at the departing Nuggets players, and his heart was also very happy.
Basketball games are like this, the losing side is in a bad mood, then the winning side is naturally in a good mood.
"Xue, you're getting used to the rhythm of the game." Roy walked over slowly.
"Hey, that's what I'm capable of." Xue Ding's eyes were very confident and very firm.
Roy looked at Xue Ding's serious eyes, seeing that he didn't seem to have slowed down from the state of the game, Roy suddenly felt very relieved, this is a kind of appreciation for Xue Ding.
A person who can keep the whole court focused, a person who truly loves basketball, can make the people around him feel his infinite passion!!
Xue Ding is this kind of person.
"Haha, if Oden is willing to take the rebounds himself, and then you can still grab so many rebounds, then I believe this is your strength."
"Hahaha...... Brandon, I'm a player who puts victory first, brushing the board? That's a no-brainer! “
"I didn't say you brushed." Roy looked at Xue Ding with a smile.
"Hey, hey." Xue Ding didn't say anything more.
This thing is a trivial matter, does it matter whether you brush it or not?
Both are players who put winning first.
Data is their dispensing.
.............
"The people of Guangdong sent a congratulatory telegram, wishing Xue Ding three consecutive doubles"
"Xue Ding 666666, another triple pair."
"It's a very affordable three pairs, it's a bit suspicious, but it's forgivable."
"I just found out today that the players of the Trail Blazers are so cute, Roy is a good leader, Ade is accurate, Oden's card position is really awesome, and of course Xue Ding is also good, and he plays very smart."
"Ade is so soft, every ball is thrown outside, but this big man feels really good."
"Oden's rebounds are really spicy, this guy is really comparable to O'Neal's guy?"
Fans are also talking about this game, and most of the domestic fans are touting Xue Ding, similar to Wei Shao's style of play, but wearing Chinese skin......
I don't know if the fans are double standards.
..............
Post-match press conference.
The Trail Blazers are today's winners, and naturally the players are in a good mood, and they are all smiling and accepting interviews with reporters.
According to the old rules, Xue Ding is surrounded by the most media reporters.
Xue Ding saw that there were many Chinese reporters, and he was not polite, and directly accepted the interview in Chinese!
"Xue Ding, you won three doubles again today, do you have anything to say?" A reporter from the Sina NBA asked.
"The stats don't matter to me, I care about winning." Xue Ding also said hypocritically.
The reporter muttered, the ghost believes you~
The reporter knew that Xue Ding was suspected of brushing, but he was Chinese, and he brushed very wonderfully~
"Xue Ding, who is your best friend in the Pioneer Formation now? The fans at home are very concerned about your relationships here. ”
The reporter asked about what the fans were most worried about Chinese fans.
You must know that when Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi came to the NBA at the beginning, they couldn't even communicate with their teammates because they didn't know English, which caused a lot of trouble for their integration. And Yi Jianlian's introverted personality has always seemed incompatible with the team, and he can't play with his teammates for a long time.
Whether Chinese players can integrate into the NBA is closely related to their own development in the NBA.
Fans are worried about Xue Ding, too.
"I have a good relationship with my teammates, and I don't think they hate me." Xue Ding said.
Xue Ding is a cheerful and confident person, and he is also familiar with American culture and language, and there are not many communication barriers.
"Hey, buddy, Xue is a good rookie, I like him very much, tell the Chinese fans, this kid is good at the Trailblazers." Roy on the side came over and replied to Xue Ding's shoulder and said.
"This kid plays with passion and is very popular in the team." Fernandez also interjected and laughed.
"Haha." As soon as Xue Ding was told by them, he was a little embarrassed.
Xue Ding's interview experience lasted almost half an hour.
After that, he left the interview room and went to take the team bus.
He's about to start his first away game.
The Trail Blazers' next trip will be to Houston to continue playing the Rockets.
That's right, this time it's a home-and-away swap between the two teams.
on the plane.
Xue Ding, Oden, Pulzbilla and Roy began a discussion about how Rockets head coach Rick Adelman cracked the Trail Blazers' defense.
After a while, Aldridge and Outlaw joined in.
A few rotation players discussed the main strategy for the upcoming game.
The originally dull atmosphere on the plane instantly became lively.
Subsequently, every player from the Trail Blazers participated in the discussion.
It includes a review of the first game against the Rockets and an outlook for the next game.
On the plane, Xue Ding also felt Auden's desire to prove his strength again, Roy's buried deep competitiveness and Aldridge's stubbornness in the heart of an honest man.
The spirit of every player on the plane was high throughout the journey, and then everyone knew to keep that spirit going.
This is the atmosphere of the team where the Trail Blazers have won on a winning streak!!
After a while, the Trail Blazers players discussed how to play their highest level of basketball and how to turn the pressure of the game into motivation............
The discussion between the players made head coach McMillan very happy to watch.
McMillan knows his players are building a team culture. They're all building a team winning culture that doesn't care about personal data, puts the team first, puts the win first....
Everyone has a common goal.
And Xue Ding also likes to stay with his teammates more and more.
Winning games is really more important than statistics.
