I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 113 Preparations before the war
"Lee, congratulations on breaking the new career scoring high again, overwhelming the rookie list and firmly occupying the first place. Do you have anything to say?" ESPN reporter asked.

"I've just entered the league, I'm starting from scratch, I'm creating my own record every game, I'm not surprised to break a career scoring high, because there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.

As for the rookie list, I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the schedule is too tight, and we will fly to the next city soon, so I really don't have time to pay attention to the outside world. "Li Xuan replied truthfully.

"Based on your current performance, if you have a bright performance in the next game, you are very likely to win the first NBA honor in your career - Player of the Week. Do you have such a plan?" TNT reporter asked road.

"If you don't tell me, I really don't know about this kind of thing. As for the next game, I can only say that I will go all out. After all, I am like this every game." Li Xuan responded sincerely.

After that, Li Xuan answered a few more irrelevant questions, then squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel.

The media reporters couldn't get any valuable news from Li Xuan, so they immediately surrounded Stoudemire, not wanting to let go of this guy who was talking nonsense before the game.

Stoudemire wanted to sneak back to the locker room after the game, but was caught by media reporters who were always paying attention to him, and asked him a lot of questions.

"Amare, didn't you say before the game that you wanted to crush Li in terms of statistics? Why didn't you do it?" the reporter asked.

"Today is mainly because I am not in good condition. I ate badly before the game, otherwise I would not have played so badly. I will prepare seriously for the next match and will not take it lightly." Stoudemire argued.

"Then what do you think of Li's performance tonight?" the media reporter asked again after the victory.

After hearing this, Xiaosi's facial expression changed slightly, and he cursed secretly in his heart: "Fuck! You really treat me like a soft persimmon, and I will not be used to you if you provoke me."

"That kid performed quite well. If it weren't for his teammates being outstanding, he would be nothing more than a role player."

After Stoudemire finished speaking fiercely, he pushed aside the crowd and walked back to the locker room.

The media reporters were so excited that they finally met a guy with no brains. Tomorrow's news reports will definitely be a mess.

On the other side, Li Xuan returned to the locker room after being interviewed by the media, and received a unique welcome from his teammates.

"Look, isn't this the hero who led us to victory back? Why are you so dazed, why don't you go up and 'treat' our hero!" After finishing speaking, Finley rushed up with Gatorade.

The other players of the Mavericks swarmed up, even the mild-mannered Nowitzki joined in, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

A bottle of Gatorade was poured on Li Xuan's head free of charge, to "reward" him for his victory.

Being topped with Gatorade, Li Xuan didn't get angry, but enjoyed it very much. This is probably the feeling of being completely recognized by his teammates!

When the Mavericks players were still immersed in the joy of the winning streak, Nelson Sr. pushed open the door of the locker room, walked in, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He had something to say.

All the players of the Mavericks stopped what they were doing, became quiet, and looked at the smiling head coach.

"Great job guys, we played our style this game and we're undefeated and I'm so proud of you."

After Old Nelson finished speaking, the players all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, after adding Li Xuan and Jamison this summer, all the Mavericks players believe that this already excellent team has become even stronger.

The record of winning the start is the best proof.

"The next game we will play against the aggressive Pistons. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared. I will discuss the specific tactical arrangements in tomorrow's tactical meeting. Now enjoy this wonderful moment, and then go to take a shower."

Nelson Sr. left the locker room after speaking, leaving room for the players.

The Mavericks players celebrated again for a while, then hooked their shoulders and went to wash and shower.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Xuan finished washing, he sat down at the dining table, ate a delicious breakfast, picked up the newspaper delivered by the waiter, and flipped through it.

"Breaking a new career scoring high again, where is Li's limit?" ! "

"Competing for the best of the week, the 13th pick will go all out! "

Overwhelming the 03 generation, when will other rookies succeed? ! "

"Stoudemire claimed that Li was just a role player, questioned the strength of his teammates, and suspected that the Suns' locker room was at odds! "

After reading the reports about himself, Li Xuan felt a moment of silence for Stoudemire.

"This guy really dares to talk nonsense regardless of the consequences. It seems that the Suns will hardly win for a while."

After breakfast, Li Xuan came to the hotel lobby to join the team, and then, under the leadership of head coach Nelson Sr., took a bus to the airport, and then took a flight to Detroit.

A few hours later, the Mavericks team came to Detroit, a violent city with a high crime rate.

The Mavericks team walked out of the airport and boarded the bus to the hotel where they stayed.

Not long after, the bus stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and the Mavericks players entered the hotel under the escort of security personnel.

Old Nelson clapped his hands and said, "Now, everyone go to their respective rooms to store luggage, then go to the restaurant to have lunch, and gather in the hotel's conference room at 2 p.m., I hope everyone will arrive on time."

After making the arrangements, the old Nelson left with the coaching team.

When the Mavericks players saw the coach leave, they also acted quickly, went to their respective rooms to put away their luggage, and then went to the restaurant together for dinner.

In the afternoon, the Mavericks players came to the meeting room and listened to Nelson's offensive and defensive tactics for the next game.

After the old Nelson saw that everyone had arrived, he asked his assistant to distribute the information, and then said: "We will face one of the strongest defensive teams in the league in the next game. Now let's browse the information and learn about the main players of the Pistons. specialty."

Li Xuan quickly browsed the information in his hand, which introduced the detailed information of each player of the Pistons.

During this period, the Pistons have not yet made up the five tigers, and Rasheed Wallace has not yet joined, only the four tigers.

Quincy Billups, the ball-handling core, averaged 17.3 points and 7.2 assists per game this season. The organization brain of the Pistons has a big heart, and the key shots are very good.

Richard Hamilton, the scoring core, averaged 18.4 points per game this season.

Ben Wallace, the inside core, averaged 9.8 points, 13.2 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game this season. He defends the penalty area and has a top rebounding sense.

Sophomore Xiutai Sean Prince, averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season, making rapid progress, firmly occupying the starting seat, and has excellent defensive ability.

After reading the information, Li Xuan frowned. This match is probably very difficult, and there may be some unexpected changes. After all, this is a city of violence.
