NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 65

"Hi, Xu, may I ask if you won the game so easily today, do you have anything to say about the strength of your opponent?"

"Uh, I think they probably didn't play well. After all, it's the beginning of the new season, and the lineup probably hasn't been adjusted yet." Xu Xiang said hesitantly, after all, they shouldn't suffer too much, although the opponent's strength is indeed quite poor.

"Xu, which team do you think is the biggest threat to you in the new season?"

"I think no matter which team is very competitive, no matter which team we face, we will remain extremely vigilant. Well, just be yourself."

"Xu, can you talk about James' behavior of returning directly to the locker room after the game?"

"Uh, I think he should be tired, just like me. I almost fell asleep when I went back that night. You know, when a man is too tired, he usually doesn't want to say anything." Xu Xiang thought about it and said.

The reporter next to him slandered for a while, what are you pretending to be?Who doesn't know that he is unhappy because of the loss?Really, I thought you could say that you plan to stimulate James so that you can make news or something, but this doesn't cooperate.

"Xu, after winning this game, do you think you can look forward to the new season?"

"I don't think it's a very lucky thing to win them. There are more difficult battles waiting for us ahead."

Pacers head coach Frank also accepted the interview.He said in the interview: "I think the main reason for our victory today is that we know how to use people. All of us have played. I think this is what a team should do. It can't always be played by those few people. The team must develop with the attitude of more experienced new players, and can't blindly use star players."

The coach of the 76ers, Brown, was about to explode when he heard this sentence. Nonsense, of course you can all join us. If you have the ability, you can play the same rotation as the Cavaliers. Just play us in this rotation. What kind of heroes are you? If you have the ability, don’t leave after school.

You think I don't want to send everyone out to find a hand?I estimate that the only consequence of doing so is that the point difference may reach 50 points, which will be scolded by the fans.

After the game, Frank called all the players for a brief meeting and let them disperse.

The Pacers have a very tight schedule for the regular season these days, and there will be a game tomorrow, also at home, against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The lineup of the Grizzlies this season is terrible. The "black and white bears" inside are at their peak, and their strength is terrifying.

But what they are most proud of is their defense. Their defense should be a T1 team in the league. Not to mention the inside line. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph basically have no opponents.

The remaining Mike Conley was also selected to the "NBA Second Team of the Best Defensive Team". This future "Mr. Billionaire" was able to attract the attention of the Grizzlies management with his excellent defense.There is also Cornett Lee. Four of the starting five have made it to the second team of the "NBA Best Defensive Team". This defense is so terrible that the outside world calls them "moving fortresses!"

Xu Xiang has a bit of a headache. The Grizzlies' defense this season has not only made them, but also many other teams feel helpless.Unless you have people like James and Durant, one has unrivaled impact, and the other is misplaced when hitting anyone, and can pull out anyone.

And even Du's second child was driven to death by Tony Allen, not to mention other teams, whoever met them would be a tough battle!
The old Frank also knew that their defense was terrible, so he made a request at the meeting: "Whoever gets the ball should not take the first shot, unless it is open or cut. Otherwise, find opportunities for me, play more screens and pick-and-rolls, and try to avoid being defended one-on-one. That would be too bad."

Xu Xiang nodded. There is no other good way to face such an opponent. The best way is to rely on hard power to fight hard. But today's Pacers obviously don't have such a person. Even if Paul George is not injured, there is no way to meet Tony Allen. He can only look at the opposite side and lock himself.

"Xu, your mission is very important tomorrow. Tomorrow you play the 2nd position. I guess the opponent will definitely target you. They won't let Cornett Lee face you. They will definitely let Mike Conley defend you, and then let Tony Allen come to help defend and completely lock you up." Old Frank said seriously.

"But if they figure out our intentions, George, you switch defenses with Xu immediately, and make sure that every ball Xu hits Cornett, understand?"

George Hill nodded. Xu Xiang's status in the team is already very high now, and there is a faint feeling of "the boss of the team". Roy Hibbert is not the kind of person who fights for power and profit. He is old and knows that he will not be able to play for a few years.In addition, the Pacers management obviously regards Xu Xiang as another "Paul George" to train. Both the general manager Kevin Pritchard and the coach Frank Vogel are serious about training Xu Xiang, so he has nothing to say.

Xu Xiang also understood in his heart, but things like grabbing shifts and seizing power cannot be done in a day, it takes time to pave the way.

When I got home in the evening, Mallory was already waiting.She won't go back in a few days, and she came back today after watching Xu Xiang's game.

Dinner was ready, Xu Xiang ate differently from hers, Xu Xiang still ate a nutritious meal, and he usually ate a nutritious meal when there was no activity, while Mallory only put a few apples and a vegetable salad.

"Why? Eat so little today?" Xu Xiang put down his backpack and hugged him.

"I'm going to lose weight. I passed by a clothing store when I came back today, and there happened to be one I liked, but after I went in and tried it on, it didn't fit!" Mallory looked incredible, "You know what? Just because of a little belly, it doesn't look good in clothes."

To be honest, Mallory is not the slender type. She looks plump but has no flesh. During this time, Xu Xiang did not continue her "yoga class" here. In addition, Xu Xiang took out a lot of snacks when she first came, so she should have gained a little weight now, but it can't be seen from the outside.

"Well, honey, what I actually want to say is that no matter what you are, I like you!"

An earthy love story directly caused Xu Xiang's dinner to be postponed for 3 hours.
