The Cruelty of the NBA

Chapter 108: ,piston.

   Perhaps after one or two seasons, Xue Ding is qualified to compete for this trophy.

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

   Then after LeBron, there was the rise of Curry, Durant, Harden.

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

   In the criticism and ridicule of the fans.

   NBA awards in the second week of November have also been released.

  Xue Ding was elected the best player in Western Week!

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

   Not to mention the Blazers' rankings and Xue Ding's data are not shameful.

   And on the east side, LeBron James won the award for the best player of the week.

   Comparison of the best players in the East and the West.

   From the data point of view, Xue Ding is less than James in scoring, but he exceeds him in assists and rebounds. In all-around performance, Xue Ding is better than James!

   Of course, the comparison of teammates can also feel that the Blazers are worse, Xue Ding's pressure is even greater.

  After learning that Xue Ding was elected the best in Western Week, the media of Portland and the management of the Blazers were excited.

  The rookie of his own family once again proved that his draft vision is high. After the management is dug out, the annual salary can increase by more than 10%.

   "Xue, we will hold a press conference before the game, and you will be there when the time comes."

   "OK!"

   The team's locker room atmosphere is very low now, and Xue Ding's awards are coming out.

  ……

   November 18, 2009.

   Xue Ding attended the press conference before the game.

  The reporters have already been eager to prepare for the interview.

   These days Xue Ding's various news has been very hot.

  The Trail Blazers’ Director of Public Relations is reluctantly directing the security to maintain order.

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

   The former pioneers in the United States are always very low-key.

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

   Xue Ding's existence changed all this.

   Various hotspots, MVP, triple doubles per game, Chinese, gossip, etc...

   The number of Chinese journalists in Portland even surpassed that of American journalists.

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

  Most people in a country that occupies one-fifth of the world's population know Portland, the "City of Roses"! !

   "Kaka Kaka."

   The reporter asked: "Xue, congratulations on getting the best player of the week, you should be the fastest rookie to get the best week."

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

   "Haha, no." The reporter smiled.

   "Then I suggest that the league is still the best award car or something." Xue Ding pouted.

   "Do you have any feelings to say?"

   "Of course, I thank my teammates, the coach, and the management of the team." Xue Ding opened his mouth...

   "Your team's injury has fallen a lot, will your team medical team be fired?"

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

   The focus of the media has been drawn by interested people, and began to siege team doctors.

  ……

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

   The Pistons have a mediocre record. They started with 5 wins and 6 losses. They are believed to be able to fight against the Blazers who are now full of injured soldiers.

   This year's goal for the Pistons is still only the playoffs. From the fifth year after winning the championship in 2004, the Pistons have begun to change.

   The Detroit Five Tigers now only Prince and Hamilton are still standing in the lineup.

  The Pistons have lost the cost of gnawing. After a frustrating season, they began to reform drastically.

   The addition of Villanueva and Gordon has enriched the team's offensive power, and the new coach Kuster's recruitment has also brought a new look. This is a brand new Pistons, but they cannot be called a reconstruction. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as "Morph".

   Previously, he had reached the Eastern Conference Finals for at least 6 consecutive years, of which 2 reached the Finals and 1 won the championship. The Pistons' strength has been recognized by fans.

   But since 2005, they have never been able to make a breakthrough. 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 office, and then the team exchanged Billups and the Nuggets for Iverson. The picture is a new look and new weather.

   But this move of the Pistons is a bit of a broken jar. No one knows how the team can change after changing the organizational core and tactical system.

   The results proved that the Pistons did not usher in good results, but fell into the abyss of nowhere.

  Iverson was unable to integrate with the team, and was eventually abandoned.

  The Pistons only achieved 39 wins and 43 losses last season, which is the worst result since 2001.

   The team barely entered the playoffs as the eighth in the east, and then was swept by the Cavaliers 4-0! !

   Such a piston cannot be called a strong team.

   But in the first quarter, the Pistons showed their offensive advantage to the fullest.

  Gordon and Villanueva and last season's team scoring champion Hamilton, under the command of head coach Kuster, held high the offensive banner.

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

   30 to 26 in the first quarter, the Blazers trailed by 4 points.

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

   Trail Blazers had to put another rookie Cunningham into the second team.

   Xue Ding has nothing to do with the second lineup, his time stays in the first lineup.

   This also led to the Blazers' second lineup much worse than the Pistons.

   In the second quarter, the Blazers' second lineup was hit an 8-0, and the point difference was pulled to more than 10 points. McMillan sent Xue Ding and Ade to save the Blazers' offense in advance.

The debut of the two quickly stabilized the score, but the Pistons players seemed to have taken the aphrodisiac, how to shoot on the offensive end, the Blazers' defensive end was exploded, and the half was finished. The score was 58 to 50. 8 points behind to enter the locker room.

  In the third quarter, Xue Ding strengthened his personal assault. The Trail Blazers' attack was completely revitalized, but the piston's feel was still invincible. Hamilton's continuous buzzer can make three points...

In the fourth quarter, the Blazers' offensive fell into a stagnation. After Xue Ding was caught, his teammates still didn't enter. This was very annoying. The Pistons' offense was wave after wave. Xue Ding and Ade set off The counterattack was held back.

   score finally stayed at 108 to 102.

  The Blazers lost at home, and almost the entire audience was suppressed. They did not see the 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 the Blazers.

   Trail Blazers lost 2 games in a row.
