Maybe in a season or two, Xue Ding is qualified to compete for this trophy.

Kobe's Lakers, LeBron's Cavaliers, these two mountains are enough to make Xue Ding breathless.

And then after LeBron, there is the rise of Curry, Durant, and Harden.

Champions can be water, but which MVP will be water?

In the midst of the criticism and ridicule of the fans.

The NBA's awards for the second week of November are also out.

Xue Ding was elected Western Player of the Week!

Xue Ding's award is not too controversial, because even if it is sympathetic, the media and reporters will give this award to the first pioneer in the west.

What's more, the ranking of the pioneers and Xue Ding's data are not ashamed.

In the East, LeBron James won the Player of the Week award for the second consecutive year.

Comparison of the best players from the East and West.

From the point of view of data, Xue Ding is less than James in scoring, but surpasses him in assists and rebounds, and in terms of versatility, Xue Ding is better than James!

Of course, the comparison of teammates can also feel that the Blazers are worse, and Xue Ding is under more pressure.

After learning that Xue Ding was selected as the Western Conference Weekly Winner, Portland's media and Trail Blazers' management were excited.

The rookie of his own family once again proved that he has a high draft vision, and the management will be poached out in the future, and the annual salary can be increased by more than 10%.

"Xue, we will hold a press conference before the game, and you will be present at that time."

“OK！”

The atmosphere in the team's locker room is very low now, and Xue Ding's award needs to be released.

……

18 November 2009.

Xue Ding attended the pre-match press conference.

The reporters couldn't wait to get ready for the interview.

In the past few days, Xue Ding's various news has been very hot.

The PR director of the Trailblazers was reluctantly directing the security guards to maintain order.

After Xue Ding came to Portland, the security and public relations departments had a lot more work.

The former Trailblazers, in the United States, were always very low-key.

And this season's Trail Blazers are undoubtedly one of the most watched teams in the nation.

Xue Ding's existence changed all that.

All kinds of hot spots, MVPs, triple-doubles per game, Chinese, scandals, etc......

At one point, the number of Chinese journalists in Portland even outnumbered that of American journalists.

Portland's tourism industry has also received special care from the Chinese....

Most people in a country where one-fifth of the world's population knows about Portland, the "City of Roses"!!

"Click."

The reporter asked: "Xue, congratulations on winning the Player of the Week, you should be the fastest rookie to win the Player of the Week." ”

Xue Ding still asked very realistically: "Thank you, is there a prize for this award?" ”

"Haha, no." The reporter smiled.

"Then I suggest that the league is better to award a car or something." Xue Ding pursed his lips.

"Do you have any feelings?"

'Of course, I thank my teammates, I thank the coach, I thank the management of the team. Xue Ding made an official tone....

"Your team has lost a lot of injuries, will your team of doctors be fired because of this?"

"You should ask management this question....."

The focus of the media was drawn by those who were interested and began to besiege the team doctor.

……

After the press conference, the Trail Blazers' home game against the Detroit Pistons began.

The Pistons' record is mediocre, and they are considered to be able to play with the Trail Blazers, who are now full of injuries, with a 5-6 record in the opening game.

This year's goal for the Pistons is still only the playoffs, and five years after winning the championship in 2004, the Pistons have begun a path of change.

Of the Detroit Five, only Prince and Hamilton are still in the lineup.

The Pistons no longer have the money to gnaw at the old ones, and after a frustrating season, they began to overhaul them.

The additions of Villanueva and Gordon have bolstered the team's attacking prowess, while the arrival of new coach Kuster has brought a new look. It's a brand new piston, but they can't be called a rebuild yet, and maybe a "transformation" would be more appropriate to describe them.

Previously, he has reached the Eastern Conference Finals at least 6 consecutive years, including 2 finals and 1 championship, and the Pistons' strength has been recognized by fans.

But since 2005, they have not been able to make a breakthrough, and although they are only one step away from the championship, they have never been able to reach it again.

Last season, they first changed the head coach, rookie coach Curry took over, and then the team traded Billups and the Nuggets for Iverson, which is a new look.

However, this move of the Pistons is a bit of a broken jar, and no one knows what kind of changes the team can make after changing the organizational core and tactical system.

As it turned out, the Pistons did not usher in good results, but fell into the abyss of no return.

Iverson was unable to integrate with the team and was eventually dropped.

The Pistons finished with a 39-43 record last season, their worst record since 2001.

After the team barely made the playoffs as eighth in the East, they were swept 4-0 by the Cavaliers!!

Such a piston cannot be called a strong team.

However, in the first quarter, the Pistons showed their offensive superiority to the fullest.

Gordon and Illanieva, as well as last season's leading scorer Hamilton, are under the command of head coach Kuster.

In the first quarter, Xue Ding was obsessed with organization, scoring 2 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in a single quarter.

The full flowering of the Pistons still suppressed the Trailblazers fighting at home to a certain extent.

30-26 in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed by four points.

The unevenness of the lineup still affected the rotation of the Trail Blazers to a certain extent.

The Trail Blazers had to put another rookie, Cunningham, on the second team.

Xue Ding has nothing to do with the second team at all, and his time is left in the first team.

This also caused the Trail Blazers' second lineup to be a lot worse than the Pistons.

In the second quarter, the second team of the Trail Blazers was beaten 8-0, and the difference was stretched to more than 10 points.

The appearance of the two quickly stabilized the score, but the Pistons players seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, how to shoot on the offensive end, the Trail Blazers' defensive end was exploded, and the score was 58-50 at halftime, and the Trail Blazers entered the locker room with 8 points behind.

In the third quarter, Xue Ding strengthened his personal assault, and the Trail Blazers' offense was completely revitalized, but the Pistons' hand was still invincible, and Hamilton's consecutive whistle-blowing three-pointers could be scored.....

In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers' offense came to a standstill, and the teammates who came out after Xue Ding was caught still did not enter, which was very distressing, and the Pistons' offense was wave after wave, and Xue Ding and Ade's counterattack was choked.

The score ended up at 108-102.

The Trail Blazers lost at home, were almost completely suppressed, and had no hope of winning.

This also made the fans who came to watch the game quite disappointed.

Although Xue Ding got a triple-double of 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, he failed to win for the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers lost 2 in a row.
