"So I decided to press the clock, I was going to throw the ball at the last minute and not give the opponent a chance to kill! As for why I took the ball straight out of the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer, it was because I was afraid that Livingston would react and foul me directly, and if he fouled me, I would only be able to get two free throws, and then stop the table, which would also be beneficial to them, so I took the ball directly outside the three-point line. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xuan paused again, and then continued, "As for your other concern, if I miss, it will indeed cause the team to lose the game directly, this is indeed a gamble and a risk, but I also have to ask you a question, have you seen when I missed an empty three-point shot?" Such a domineering rhetorical question directly calmed down the reporters at the scene, not only him, but even the little Wharton sitting next to Ye Xuan, after listening to Ye Xuan's words, he felt a burst of enthusiasm, how confident he must be to be able to say such a thing, but looking back on Ye Xuan's career, Ye Xuan's empty three-point shooting rate has indeed reached an outrageous level, and it is almost like he is making free throws.

Seeing that there were no reporters at the scene who continued to raise their hands to ask questions, Ye Xuan was about to get up and leave, and at this time, the reporters in the audience reacted and hurriedly spoke up, but Ye Xuan didn't want to continue to delay his time here, so he pretended not to pay attention to what was going on, but laughed with little Wharton and left the scene of the press conference.

The next day, following the three-overtime battle between the Pacers and the Cavaliers, the NBA once again found an opportunity to enhance its brand image, the media hyped up Ye Xuan's magical performance in yesterday's game, and the league also gave Ye Xuan enough face, the official website headline is a close-up of Ye Xuan's last ball when he turned to kill, and the Lakers' special area was also directly moved from the Warriors and Cavaliers' special area to all the special areas. Of course, what made Ye Xuan feel the most revealing was that the official account avatars of the alliance on various social platforms had all been changed to Ye Xuan's jersey style, which could be regarded as a flattering compliment.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan's performance that surprised all the fans so much that he couldn't even close his jaw also directly made Ye Xuan become a player on a par with historical stars in the eyes of various celebrities. For example, Ye Xuan's loyal fan brother Charles Barkley, he began to praise Ye Xuan again and again in the second day of TNT's show, but this time, even Kenny Smith had no way to find an angle to fight back.

Barkley said on the show, "After these few playoff games with the Warriors, I think now we can once again excite a proposal that I said before back on the table, we all know that Ye Xuan played a very dominant performance in this playoffs, and we also know that this is actually only his fourth season, but I think his performance now has qualified him to rise to the level discussed with Gasol, Pierce, Ray Allen, and even Kobe Bryant, We've all said before that he's too young, he's inexperienced, he's not mature enough, he's not accolades enough, but let's take a closer look at his resume, a championship, a Finals MVP, a regular season MVP, an All-Star MVP, a rookie game MVP, plus the title of three-point king and dunk king, I think he's done in four years what most players can't do in their entire careers. ”

After a pause, Barkley continued, "By the way, judging from his performance this season, he should be able to win the regular season MVP without any suspense, right?" After all, with a 75-win record, plus the titles of scoring champion and steal leader, and various statistical dominance performances, although Russell has averaged a triple-double per game, I don't think their team has the strength to match the Lakers. ”

At this point, O'Neill interrupted Barkley, "Okay, Sir Charles, what exactly do you want to say?" We all know that you like Ye Xuan very much, and you have also seen that all the newspapers and all the news pages are all about him now, but what do you want to express when you are touting him here? ”

Barkley smiled, "I think now we can help Ye Xuan find a suitable position in the fifty years of history, this is what I want to express." Kenny Smith on the side was also choked by Barkley's words, after all, no matter how well any player performed, I haven't heard of him ranking him in history at the beginning of his career, including Rose, who became famous at a young age, when Rose became the youngest regular season MVP before, wasn't he only able to compete with active players? Why did Ye Xuan have already risen to the historical level?

However, Kenny Smith was not stupid enough to ask directly, after all, the number of Ye Xuan's fans has increased dramatically, and his personal honors are indeed very much, in terms of achievements alone, he can indeed be regarded as a historical player, but Smith still knows that he can't be too inflated, so he interrupted, "I think it's too early for us to discuss this issue, after all, this year's playoffs are not over yet, I think we should wait for this year's championship to appear, and then give him a position." As you know, if he can lead the Lakers to a championship this year, then the first four years of his career should be the most in the history of the league, so his historical status will definitely go to a higher level, and we will discuss a result now, should we have to talk about it again in a month? ”

Barkley was a fool of himself, and Kenny Smith said a few words and then went off track, nodding his head, "Then let's wait until after the finals to talk about this topic, but I think since we're not going to talk about his place in history, can we talk about something else about him?" ”

This topic is very clever, which can not only continue to capture the curiosity of the audience, but also continue to borrow Ye Xuan's gold medal IP to maintain the ratings of the show. And his proposal is obviously supported by O'Neal and Kenny Smith, after all, Ye Xuan's scoring ability that has exploded this season has made many people only able to bow down.

Faced with this topic, it was naturally Ye Xuan's loyal fan brother Buckley who spoke first, "Okay, since everyone has agreed to this proposal, then let's first list the scoring maniacs you can think of, and then let's compare the gap between Ye Xuan and them one by one, or the gap between them and Ye Xuan." ”

O'Neill immediately proposed a person at this time, "Okay, since it was Ye Xuan who copied Tracy's miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, so I think the first thing to mention is Tracy, the two-time scoring champion, who do you think has the stronger scoring ability between Tracy and Ye Xuan?" ”

Barkley immediately stood up in support of Ye Xuan, "There should be no comparison, Tracy's scoring ability is indeed excellent, but his scoring performance has not left much of a deep impression on people, you may think that I am belittling Tracy, but you should know that the player who can let us take out the analysis, he himself represents that he ranks at least in the top 20 in league history in the single item of scoring." ”

Kenny Smith also answered, "It's true that T-MAC won two scoring titles during the Magic period, but there are only a few times when he really impresses people, such as when he was on the Magic team, he scored 62 points in the Wizards' game, which is also the highest score of his career, and then in the first year after coming to the Rockets, In the face of the Spurs, he scored 13 points in the last 35.4 seconds and led the Rockets to complete a turnaround, which also became a masterpiece of T-MAC's career, but unfortunately, people said that he exhausted all his luck in this turnaround, and although he has had some highlights since then, it is difficult to score as crazy as in the Magic period. ”

"So everyone agrees that Ye Xuan's scoring ability should be above T-MAC, right?"

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

The TNT cross talk group reached a rare agreement, and O'Neal immediately put forward a second nomination: "Okay, since Tracy has been taken out, I have to say that Aaron Iverson, who was known as the fourth quartile with Tracy, to be honest, I like this kid very much, he should be the reason why many later defenders choose the No. 3 jersey, right?" ”

Kenny Smith nodded, "Yes, Sir Charles, you're right, Wade and Paul are among the new generation of defenders, and they have publicly stated that they chose the No. 3 jersey because they were influenced by AI." And AI's scoring ability is also the same is talked about by many people, you must know that he is only 1.83 meters, I think if Jordan promoted the NBA to the world, then AI should be the one who narrowed the distance between ordinary people and the NBA, it was he who used his strength to tell everyone that height is not the key, the key is to have a heart of desire to win. ”

Barkley said, "Okay, so let's talk about the scoring ability of the answer, he won a total of four scoring titles, he should be the strongest scoring guard in the early 20th century, right?" I don't know who has the better scoring ability when they compare Kobe Bryant to AI, but I have to say, 4-time scoring champion, 1.83 meters? This is another miracle. ”

O'Neal answered at this time, "I have played against the answer many times, his scoring ability should be stronger than Kobe Bryant at that time, but unfortunately his career was not perfect in the later part of his career, so he was gradually surpassed by the more stable Kobe, in those seasons alone, I think AI's scoring ability is above Kobe, and in terms of career, I think Kobe's scoring ability should be able to rank in the top three among scoring guards." ”

"So has Ye Xuan's scoring ability reached the level of AI, or in other words, who do you think has the stronger scoring ability between Ye Xuan and AI?" Barkley hurriedly asked, and O'Neal also replied casually, "I think it depends on Ye Xuan's performance in the next few seasons, he should be a two-time scoring champion at present, right?" It was held once the year before and once this year. This level is not up to the level of AI, but in terms of his various performances in the playoffs, his scoring stability and explosiveness are stronger than those of AI at that time, this actually depends on whether we look at his career or look at his shining points, I temporarily feel that Ye Xuan has not reached the level of AI. ”

O'Neal doesn't think that the current Ye Xuan has surpassed the AI, but Kenny Smith rarely stands on the side of Barkley, "Shaq, I think the current Ye Xuan is already stronger than the AI, and you have also seen what he can do, 96 points in a single game?" It's literally an alien playing, Shaq, what's your highest score, 61 points? Ye Xuan has scored more than 60 points more times than you have scored 50 times, right? ”

Barkley was also on the side, "Yes, I think Ye Xuan's scoring ability in the playoffs, especially in this round of playoffs, has given him the qualification to compare scoring ability with everyone such as Jordan, the old rascal, and to be honest, if Ye Xuan wants to, I think he has a good chance to break Jordan's 63-point score, and his single-game 61-point performance is also tied with Elgin Baylor for second place in the single-game scoring list of the playoffs." If you look at the playoff scoring list, among the performances of more than 45 points in a single game in the playoffs, Michael alone dominates, he has a total of 23 performances of more than 45 points, and in second place is Wirt, he has 8 times, and then Iverson's 7 times, LeBron's 7 times and Kobe Bryant's five times are already very high numbers, and you look at Ye Xuan, he has already scored 3 times more than 50+ in this series. So I think Ye Xuan's scoring ability is already very strong, and even if he can perform like this season in the next few years, I think his scoring ability may even surpass MJ, ranking first in history, of course, now he should not be qualified to be compared with MJ and Wilt and others, but I believe his growth. ”

O'Neal shrugged: "Okay, you guys won, Ye Xuan's scoring ability has surpassed AI so far, but I said that his scoring ability has not reached the level of Kobe, you shouldn't object anymore, right?" You must know that Kobe's scoring ability has continued for many seasons, and even the last game of his career can still score 60 points, and I believe that if Ye Xuan is told that he has not surpassed Kobe Bryant now, he should not refute it, right? Barkley and Smith nodded, and just like that, TNT set Ye Xuan's scoring ability between Kobe and AI.
