Although he took the lead, the expression on Xue Ding's face was not very happy, but very serious.

At the end of the first half, James's strength let Xue Ding know that the real challenge was in the second half!

in the locker room.

Xue Ding sat down and took the banana handed over by the assistant coach and took a bite.

30 points in the half, such a statistic is commendable for a rookie.

Especially when the Cavaliers, who are still the No. 1 in the league, have James, who has the highest MVP call this season, on the opposite side.

It's a rare performance like that.

The Trail Blazers' locker room has been free of noise since Roy and others were injured.

Laughing and slapping is disrespectful to a few injured teammates.

Xue Ding sat alone next to his closet.

He's resting~

At this time, Auden and Roy walked slowly towards Xue Ding.

Seeing the two of them coming, Xue Ding stood up.

"Smack!"

Xue Ding high-fived the two of them separately.

Roy took the initiative to speak: "Xue, you did a good job in the first half!" ”

"Well, but that's not enough, the Cavaliers should start to work in the second half."

"Be careful, don't get hurt."

Roy wanted to say something to Xue Ding not to fight so hard, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.

"yes, I know."

On the contrary, Oden said directly: "Xue, let's rush less inside, today they are very well prepared for you to rush inside, although you are strong, but O'Neill and Big Z on the opposite side are not easy to mess with." ”

In the first half, Xue Ding fell to the ground again and again, which scared them a lot.

If Xue Ding is injured again, the Trailblazers will really be cold this season.

"Hey, it's okay!"

Xue Ding pursed his lips.

Xue Ding knew that he was different from Roy, he had an injury potion in his system, and if he was injured at most, it would be a minor injury, which would not endanger his career.

Seeing that Xue Ding had his own plans, the two of them didn't want to say anything too much, they just came over to care about Xue Ding.

"How's your recovery?"

Xue Ding looked at the injured parts of the two from time to time.

"It's slow." Roy said.

"Yes, I always feel that it is still the same as before, not steady." Auden also helped.

"Now the management side is a bit stiff with the medical team." Roy started to get worried.

"Can't sit still! Brandon, Greg. ”

Xue Ding knew very well that if nothing changed, then what would be the outcome of the two people.

Xue Ding thought for a moment and said the last thought he considered: "The medical team of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Suns should be able to help you with your injuries, and let them re-evaluate you when the time comes, to see if there is a better treatment plan." ”

Embiid, the next great after Oden, spent two years recuperating from his injuries on the advice of the 76ers' medical team.

Although the reputation of the 76ers team doctor is not much better, he should have some experience in treating big men.

Just look at how much their patience with Embiid has allowed him to recover from another two years.

Needless to say, the Suns' team doctor is tied with the Spurs' assistant coach, the Rockets' waiver, and the Thunder's rookie as the league's four treasures.

"OK, let's try it."

Roy, who has always been steady, also said that he didn't trust his team doctor, which shows how miserable he was suffering from injuries and how disappointed he was in the Trail Blazers' team doctor.

Auden nodded heavily.

The cruelty of injury is something that Xue Ding does not want to experience.

After the three of them sat down, Auden confided in Roy and Xue Ding: "Xue, Blanton, to be honest, I feel like I'm really in a very dark situation right now, I want to quit basketball, I want to never play again, I want to go home, leave all this behind." ”

"The days I've been off, the two seasons I've missed, and if I hadn't been injured, I'm sure I'd have had a chance to win Rookie of the Year in '07, and I'm like I'm doing something for the team now, but there's nothing I can do."

When Auden said this, Xue Ding felt that he was suffering.

Roy heard Auden's words and nodded in understanding.

"Take care of it, this is the best help, don't worry too much, leave everything here to me first, I will wait until you are fully recovered! Don't worry, all of you. ”

"I need you guys to be healthy and play the playoffs, and don't forget, at the start of the season, we were all talking and there was no team in the league that was against us."

Xue Ding is confident that he can keep the Trail Blazers qualified for the playoffs.

"Haha, Xue, you are always so confident! The regular season is not the same as the playoffs, and in the West, it takes at least 50 wins. ”

"Trust me, that's right. I'm getting stronger, and when you come back, do you think this Cavaliers will still be our opponents? After the first half, it was garbage time. Xue Ding said unashamedly.

"Blanton, I'll just say that Xue is always full of confidence, and LeBron is not taken seriously by him."

Auden looked at Xue Ding, who was full of confidence, and was also infected.

People who stay by Xue Ding's side will be unconsciously infected by him, the love for basketball in his bones, and the eternal confidence in his own strength.

Roy knows that Xue Ding is a kind of person, you can win him once, but you can't win him forever, his unwillingness to admit defeat and tenacity will defeat many people.

Roy and Oden's mentality is also slowly adjusting.

While the injury crushes their bodies, it also wears down their will, and staying with Xue Ding will make it easier for them to find their blood and hope.

Unconsciously, Xue Ding became the heart of several people.

……..

"Xue was dominant, 30 points in the first half, man, it's unbelievable, he was the MVP in the first half."

TNT's Charles Barkley is a bit more matter-of-fact! It wasn't easy for this to come out of his mouth.

"I'll vote for Xue on the All-Star!"

Smith also said.

……..

The second half was quickly underway.

The Trail Blazers began their first offense.

As soon as the game began, Coach McMillan started yelling from the sidelines.

Xue Ding plans to start the third quarter in tandem with the team.

According to the style of play in the first half, even Xue Ding's physical fitness will be unbearable.

Xue Ding's physical fitness is considered to be the top level of the league, but this consumption is too huge.

Xue Ding's height is a tall point guard, and he completely blew up Mo Wei in the first half, and the Cavaliers also adjusted, they didn't let Mo Wei defend Xue Ding in the third quarter, but let West come to Xue Ding.

Start with a half-time advance.

West kept biting Xue Ding very tightly.

From time to time, West used his long arms to interfere with Xue Ding's dribble.

Xue Ding steadily protected the ball and brought the ball safely across the half court.

Juwan Howard takes cover.

After Xue Ding glanced at his teammates' positions, he chose to break through first.

Juwan Howard has a wide body and easily blocks West.

Xue Ding broke through from West's right side, passed West, and came to the free throw line.

O'Neill came up to make up for the defense, and he didn't give Xue Ding a chance to start attacking the inside.

Xue Ding's impact made Ao Pang feel tricky!

Although O'Neill stood in front of Xue Ding in time.

But Xue Ding changed the rhythm again, after a pause, he picked up the speed again, and easily shook O'Neill's center of gravity with a feint.

O'Neill was far from expecting that the Chinese's ability to change rhythm was so strong.

O'Neill hurriedly moved sideways, ready to block with his strong body.

But Xue Ding received the ball directly, handed the ball from behind his back to his left hand with his right hand, and took three steps while his body brushed O'Neal sideways.

Pass it.

Big Z is on defense again.

Xue Ding saw Big Z jump up, and handed the ball to the inside station Purzbilla.

Large gaps in the three-second zone.

Purzbilla's catch is a slam dunk!!

"Box!"

48 to 55!
