I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 198

On February 2, the NBA officially announced the list of the best players in the East and West in January.

东部这边，作为现阶段排名东部第六的雄鹿队当家球星迈克尔-里德，以场均22.4分4.2个篮板2.8次助攻的数据带领雄鹿队在整个1月份获得11胜5负的战绩，荣获东部月最佳球员。

西部这边，现阶段排名西部第二的森林狼队当家球星凯文-加内特，以场均24.2分14.7个篮板5.1次助攻1.5次抢断1.8次盖帽的数据，带领森林狼队在1月份获得14胜2负的战绩，荣获了西部月最佳球员。

Although Li Xuan failed to win the best player of the month in the Western Conference, he once again beat Anthony and won the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference.

在1月份的比赛中，李轩以场均20.8分12.6个篮板3.1次助攻2.4次抢断2.8次盖帽的数据带领小牛队在1月份获得16胜0负的战绩，荣获了西部月最佳新秀。

On the Eastern side, LeBron James won the Eastern Rookie of the Month without any suspense.

在1月份的比赛中，詹姆斯以场均21.6分6.2个篮板5.8次助攻1.2次抢断1.8次盖帽的数据带领骑士队在1月份获得9胜7负的战绩，荣获了东部月最佳新秀。

Reaping the best rookie of the month again, Li Xuan failed to get the system reward, and kept complaining about the system being too stingy.

Due to the nature of the system, these honors can only be rewarded by the system when they are obtained for the first time.

After turning off the computer, Li Xuan tidied up, then came to the parking lot, and drove to the arena.

On the way to the arena, Li Xuan looked at the shops on both sides of the street through the car window, and there were many posters about him pasted up, feeling a little happy.

"It seems that my popularity has grown further."

Li Xuan only saw part of the street scene in Dallas, and he didn't feel shocked.

If he knew the popularity of other places through the newspapers, he would not be so calm.

Being elected as the All-Star vote king, the degree of sensation is definitely beyond Li Xuan's imagination.

At this stage, Li Xuan has become the All-Star ticket king, which is undoubtedly the biggest news in the sports world recently.

The overwhelming coverage of the outside news media made Li Xuan once again popular in the United States.

After driving to the arena, Li Xuan changed his equipment and came to the training ground for daily training.

It didn't take long for the Mavericks players to come to the training ground for daily training one after another, and the arena became lively.

After a while, the old Nelson brought the coaching staff to the training ground and began to organize intra-team competitions, allowing the players to adjust their tactics and increase the tacit understanding between teammates.

After training, all members of the Mavericks came to the restaurant and ate a nutritious meal like chewing wax.

"It's terrible, I still miss fried chicken burgers." Nash complained.

"Steve, it's good to eat something. As a professional athlete, you must maintain good self-discipline and don't be greedy. If you eat fat, it will affect your competitive state." Li Xuan responded.

"Li, can I gain weight with my body?" Nash asked in a teasing tone.

Li Xuan looked at Nash's thin body, and replied, "Probably not, you are born with malnutrition, and there is no rule of law."

"Fuck you, you just know how to tease me, one day I will become very strong." Nash smiled and quickly settled his lunch.

Li Xuan glanced at Nash, and complained in his heart.

"Steve, you're thinking shit, your body will still be weak until you're done playing."

After lunch, Li Xuan and others came to the physical therapy room for the physical therapist to massage, relax the muscles, and take a lunch break.

In the afternoon, the Mavericks players came to the meeting room to listen to the tactical arrangements for the next game.

The next game against the Wizards, as long as the Mavericks do not make mistakes, winning the game is not a problem.

Therefore, the old Nelson did not make any special arrangements. After the tactics were arranged, the players were allowed to leave and continue their daily training.

In this way, Li Xuan returned to the apartment to rest after a busy day.

……

……

On February 2, the Mavericks played at home against the visiting Washington Wizards.

The game was as expected by the fans, and the Wizards surrendered after only resisting for more than two quarters.

The top scorer of the Wizards Arenas was jointly blocked by Li Xuan and Lagabel, and his shooting percentage was terrible. He made 19 of 6 shots and scored 18 points.

Without the big brother who took the lead in charging into the battle, the Wizards were quickly defeated.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Wizards 95 to 76, winning 22 consecutive victories.

这场比赛的最佳球员由李轩获得，他在上场的36分钟内，投篮16投10中，其中三分球9投5中，罚球3罚3中，获得28分11篮板2助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

After the game, Wizards star Arenas took the initiative to walk towards Li Xuan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan looked at Arenas with a smile on his face, wanting to see what he was going to do.

You can't, take out a pistol from your crotch and shoot yourself!
Arenas walked up to Li Xuan, shook hands with Li Xuan very warmly, and said, "Li, you played very well tonight, you are worthy of being the All-Star ticket champion."

Li Xuan was a little confused after hearing this, and didn't react for a while.

Co-author, did you come here on purpose to flatter me?

After Li Xuan came to his senses, he and Arenas complimented each other a few words, after all, they didn't reach out to hit the smiling face.

"Li, next time you come to Washington, you must call me. I will show you the culture and customs of Washington."

"Ok."

After Arenas and Li Xuan exchanged phone numbers, they turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

Li Xuan looked at the figure of Arenas going away, shook slightly, not knowing what was going on, then walked to the players' tunnel and went back to the locker room to join the team.

……

……

There is no good in this world for no reason, there are only exchanges of interests.

After Li Xuan was elected as the All-Star vote champion, some stars in the league began to recognize Li Xuan.

Not only the recognition of force, but also the recognition of its strength.

Before, Li Xuan had a mediocre impression in the minds of some stars, and by default he was just a rookie who was good at fighting.

Now, these stars have changed their narrow views and re-evaluated Li Xuan, thinking that this is a rookie who not only plays well, but also fights better.

On February 2, when the Mavericks played away against the Celtics, Li Xuan clearly felt such a change.

When the two sides were warming up, Pierce took the initiative to hug Li Xuan, and then had a very enthusiastic chat.

"Congratulations, Li, for becoming the player who won the All-Star vote in the second rookie season. Your strength has been recognized by the fans."

Pierce was so enthusiastic that he almost pulled Li Xuan to kowtow to him.

After he saw Francis hold Dayao's thigh firmly, he was successfully selected as the All-Star starter, and he saw the horror of China's mysterious power.

Moreover, he feels that Li Xuan's future is limitless, and there are many ways out for many friends.

Seeing that Pierce was so enthusiastic, Li Xuan couldn't live up to the kindness of others, and praised each other a few words, as if they had become good friends who had been lost for many years.

Such a harmonious and beautiful picture did not last long.

No matter how good the relationship is off the court, there is no mercy on the court.

When it comes to confrontation, it's time to use small moves.

Pierce was terribly tortured by Li Xuan, and once thought that Li Xuan was just pretending.

How can anyone kill a good brother!
Pierce wronged Li Xuan. As long as Li Xuan plays a game, he will go all out to win, which is very similar to Kobe.

Even against Wade, Li Xuan fought to the death, and he didn't think of brotherhood at all on the court, unless it was his teammates.

When Pierce was completely restrained by Li Xuan, Walker, the other core of the Celtics team, did not explode like he did in the last game against the Mavericks.

Under the leadership of Nowitzki and Li Xuan, the Mavericks seized the opportunity, scored frequently, quickly widened the point difference, and established the victory.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Celtics 101 to 86, winning 23 consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, Nowitzki played 38 minutes and made 21 of 13 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers and 3 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He was elected the best player in the game players.

Li Xuan played quite steadily, scoring a double-double of 18 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

凯尔特人队表现最出色的球员为皮尔斯，在上场的40分钟内，投篮24投8中，其中三分球4投1中，罚球6罚4中，获得21分5篮板6助攻的全面数据。

After the game, Li Xuan and Pierce hugged and exchanged a few words.

"Li, you are really merciless, you tortured me so badly!"

"Paul, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and no brothers on the court. I don't want to play brother basketball with you." Li Xuan responded jokingly.

"I'll be the host tonight, and I'll let you see the nightlife in Boston." Pierce didn't get too entangled, and quickly changed the subject.

"Forget it. I still have to go to Polis with the team. I don't have time at all. Thank you very much for your kindness." Li Xuan responded.

Pierce learned that Li Xuan was going to play back-to-back matches, so he didn't say anything more, and could only entertain Li Xuan next time.

Immediately, after the two exchanged phone numbers, they returned to their locker rooms to join the team.

After defeating the Celtics, the Mavericks headed to Polis overnight to play back-to-back against the Pacers.

December 2, Bankers Life Arena.

At this time, the scene was full, and the fans waited patiently for the start of the game.

The first time the two sides met before, the Pacers humiliated Li Xuan to score 70 points. This game will be their battle of revenge.

The rejuvenated Avengers will face off against the exhausted winning streak. It's hard to predict who will win and who will lose. This kind of game is worth watching.

After the start of the game, both sides showed their housekeeping skills and used the team's strongest scoring points to attack and open up the situation.

Nowitzki and O'Neal achieved mutual explosions, and neither could do anything to the other.

If the core players are on par, then compete with the quality of other star players.

Li Xuan felt mediocre in this game and failed to open up the situation for the team. He could only contribute to the team on the defensive end.

In this game, Artest seemed to be smarter, and he didn't have Twitch to compete with Li Xuan for elbows.

He didn't want to be dominated by Li Xuan's elbow again, and he didn't dare to make small moves when defending. He defended carefully, and the effect was not bad.

When the two most stable players of the Mavericks were locked up, other players were affected by physical strength and their hands were also poor.

Finley frequently hit the iron with jumpers near the mid-range and missed opportunities.

On the other hand, the Pacers' offense played very smoothly.

Reggie Miller was like a godsend in this game, hitting difficult three-pointers from the outside one after another, widening the point difference and helping the Pacers gain the lead.

Seeing that his teammates failed to hit, Nash could only stand up and score by himself, shooting from inside and outside, scoring 5 points in a row, narrowing the point difference.

When the game lasted until the third quarter, the Mavericks suddenly hit the iron frequently, unable to score.

The Pacers took the opportunity to hit the offensive strengths and gradually widen the point difference.

Seeing this, Li Xuan didn't try to shoot from outside, and began to take the risk of breaking through with the ball. It was still very difficult to break through Artest's defense, and he made several mistakes during this period.

But after passing the pick-and-roll cover, a dislocation was formed. Li Xuan rushed into the inside to cause damage like a god, unstoppable.

The defenders of the Pacers have suffered, and they can only prevent Li Xuan from scoring by fouling.

Especially Miller, who felt hot in this game, was so angry that he almost scolded his mother.

Finally became the team's thigh, but was broken by Li Xuan's savage collision, almost sent him away, and caused continuous damage, affecting his shooting.

"This nima is a monster. If the ability to hold the ball is better, who can stop it!"

Miller was very shocked by Li Xuan's future potential. He even wondered if he could hug Li Xuan's thigh and win a championship if he couldn't win the championship with the Pacers.

Relying on Li Xuan's strong performance in the third quarter, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to within ten points.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Pacers made a defensive strategy against Li Xuan's breakthrough. As long as Li Xuan broke through with the ball, they would double-team, causing him to make mistakes.

Seeing this situation, Li Xuan immediately passed the ball, but his teammates were really weak and failed to convert it into an assist.

After the Pacers' defense took effect, Miller and O'Neal scored consecutively, opening the score again.

Li Xuan wanted to struggle to the death and tried to lead the team to counterattack, but was suppressed by the Pacers.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Pacers 86 to 98, ending their 23-game winning streak.

数据方面，李轩上场40分钟，投篮19投8中，其中三分球7投2中，罚球12罚12中，得到30分13篮板2抢断3盖帽的全面数据。

步行者队表现最出色的球员为雷吉-米勒，在上场的34分钟内，投篮17投10中，其中三分球8投5中，罚球2罚2中，得到27分2篮板4助攻的全面数据。

After the winning streak was ended, the Mavericks returned home and defeated the Eagles and Bucks one after another, achieving two consecutive victories.

On February 2, after the Mavericks lost to the Spurs by a big score at the ATT Center Arena, all games before the All-Star Weekend ended.

So far, the Mavericks' record before the All-Star Game is fixed at 44 wins and 8 losses, ranking first in the league.

The rest of the Mavericks players can take a break and prepare for the playoffs, but Li Xuan and others can't rest yet. They will go to Los Angeles to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

The annual basketball event is coming, and the curtain of the All-Star Weekend has officially kicked off.
