NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 55 After the game
Xu Xiang turned on the TV alone at home. The result of this game is believed to have surprised many people, including the hottest ESPN. They predicted before the game that the Cavaliers would win by about 10-15 points, but this result obviously slapped them in the face.

With a score of 125-124, the Pacers only won by one point, a narrow victory.

Xu Xiang played 44 minutes in the game, made 21 of 15 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, and 11 of 10 free throws. He scored a game-high 43 points, plus 4 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal.Although George Hill played the second position this time, his work was still at the first position. He played 1 minutes and scored a double-double of 28 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds. Most of his assists were due to Xu Xiang.
West played 24 minutes and scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, which is not very good. This data is mainly due to his physical problems.He really can't keep up with his age. This game is no longer the level of confrontation in the preseason. After helping defend James a few times, he was hit by the little emperor and almost couldn't take care of himself.

The key to winning this game is Roy Hibbert. Although he is not young, as long as he is on the court, both TT and Varejao will be beaten to death. Varejao is purely out of work, and it is normal to be beaten, but TT is a young man, full of energy, and has a bad temper.
Hibbert played 30 points and scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, almost a triple-double!He has perfectly done what a boss should look like. Since Paul George was injured, he is the only one in the team who can carry this flag. Although Xu Xiang played more perfectly in this game, he is not inferior. Basketball is not a game for one person.
CJ Miles had a miserable game. Opposite him was his old teammates, but not his old teammates. It was a very twisted sentence, because he was with the Cavaliers before, but James didn't come when he was there, and Kevin Love didn't come, so there were both his old teammates and new friends on the opposite side.In this game, he played 28 minutes and scored 8 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. It can be said that he was completely blown away by James.

To be honest, you can’t blame him. If you let a small man with a height of 1.9 meters go against James, you will definitely suffer a loss, and when the strength and technology are not dominant, it’s not bad to play like this, at least it also plays a little role.
However, the passers -by's benchmime seat is still good. Whether it is Ravvi Alan, Donalmon, Solomon Hill, etc., they have scored scores. Except for Scola and West, the nose of "beating" by Lefu is swollen.
Opposite the Cavaliers, James also played a lot of time. In 38 minutes of playing time, he made 7 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 7 free throws. He scored 33 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.But Owen didn't paddle in this game. Although he couldn't defend against Xu Xiang, he also scored 24 points and 5 assists.
What about Love?Although in the end it was because of a problem with his last defense that Xu Xiang got a "3+1" chance, but you can't say that he played poorly or made poor decisions. In that case, who would dare to let Xu Xiang shoot directly?I don't think anyone would dare, they have to go up to defend. As for the consequences, there is no way, you have to bear the consequences.

He held down West tightly throughout the game, and Scola, who came off the bench for the Pacers, was also blown away. Whether it was defense or offense, Love scored 23 points, 3 assists and 11 rebounds. Can you say he made a mistake?His rebounds are higher than TT, which already shows the problem.

The "Big Three" teamed up to score 80 points and 15 assists, and even lost. Does this mean that the Cavaliers have a problem?Does this mean that there is a problem with the "Big Three"?No, I can only say that the Pacers on the opposite side played too well, especially Xu Xiang, who was too perfect.

Although Xu Xiang did not accept an interview after the game, all of Xu Xiang's teammates did, including coach Frank.

"Mr. Frank, how did you win this game?"

"I think we won based on our strength. Our players played very well. We can add a chicken leg to their dinner tonight." Old Frank was obviously in a good mood, and they all joked.

"Mr. Coach, what is your tactic tonight? Why do you have to let Xu attack all the time? Is there anything special about him?"

"There is no tactics. We just played our own strength. Xu's offensive scoring is very stable. We want to try how many points he can score. I will talk to Nate before the game. Let's give him room to play and see how big this kid's potential is. I expect it to be about 30 points. After all, he is facing James and Irving. But obviously I was beaten in the face. He scored 43 points. This is an amazing statistic." Old Frank praised Xu Xiang in every possible way. It is perfect, leading the team to defeat the Cavaliers with the "Big Three", this is not a score that a rookie can get, 40+ in a single game, this is terrible!

"Mr. Coach, I would like to ask, after this game, do you have any expectations for the future performance of the Pacers?"

"I hope this season we can enter the playoffs, or even the Eastern Conference Finals. I think if we play like this every game, we have a chance. Well, I firmly believe in this." Frank Sr. said.

reporter:"."

Every game is played like this, let alone the Eastern Conference championship, the NBA championship is also yours, really!

"Mr. Coach, do you think there is still room for improvement in Xu's performance tonight?"

"Of course, Xu is only 19 years old. He is too malleable. You can write down my words. Xu will definitely be a "superstar" in the future!"

　Thank you for your votes, thank you!
