Chapter 408: The feeling of the Immortal Dao Journey is here
readx;? The Fukuyama Flying Waves got off to a flying start with a home win over the visiting Sapporo Dragons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The team's victory is due to strength, but the team's condition is what Coach Moriyama values most.
After all, the last time they were the defending champions, the Flying Waves were worried about external troubles, and in the end they didn't even make it to the playoffs.
This time, looking at the team's neat and high-spirited appearance, there should not be such a situation.
Next, other teams will also make their debuts.
After paying attention to the JBA, let's take a look at Xiandao's NBA journey.
The Pacers embark on a road trip to the West, and after beating the Los Angeles duo, the Pacers will head to Phoenix, the third stop of the Western road trip, to challenge the Suns there.
Before the game, there was a bad news from the Pacers, but it can't be said to be bad news, because it was from the "glass man" Granger, so everyone is used to it.
Perhaps as a result of the back-to-back play, Granger suffered a recurrence of his knee injury and returned to Indiana with his escort before the team left for Phoenix.
Looking at it, Granger is in a bit of a bad state.
Although this matter is terrible for the team, it is really another opportunity for Xiandao who aims to show himself.
With Granger out injured and Lance Stephenson in the starting line-up, and so on, the Sendo could get more playing time.
I still remember that last season, Xiandao was also not favored by head coach Vogel, until Granger was injured and Lance Stephenson was out of shape, and Xiandao finally entered Vogel's field of vision from the end of the bench.
Xiandao also lived up to expectations, and had a good performance after playing.
The opportunity is really fleeting, let's see if this time, Immortal Dao can seize this God-given opportunity.
"I don't know much about Granger's current situation, and I'm still on the daily watch list for the time being, and I'm not sure when I'll return~!!"
Pacers head coach Vogel said in a pre-game interview.
Although Granger is injured and Lance Stephenson is in inconsistent form, the Pacers can still play against the Suns.
Because their starting small forward, Paul George, is becoming a rising star.
There's also the inside line, Hetha Hibbert and the experienced David West.
The Pacers' starters are still more impactful.
I just don't know if Immortal Dao can win Vogel's favor.
The situation with the Suns over there is more complicated.
Two years ago, they were the offensive master D'Antoni who only needed 3 seconds to run, but with the departure of Stoudemire, known as the "Little Overlord", and the trade of Steve Nash, the Suns are no longer what they used to be.
But the other main players are still there, which gives the Suns still a certain amount of offensive firepower.
Never underestimate any NBA team.
The match between the two sides will start soon.
Xiandao is still actively warming up on the field, and the phrase "opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared" should be very suitable for the current Xiandao.
Maybe it was an outdoor special training in the offseason or something, Xiandao seemed to be a lot darker.
A little darker, the stronger it looks.
The Pacers' starters have come out, and Lance Stephenson has really replaced Granger as the team's starter, and it will be very difficult for Xiandao to become the starter, at least he can start with a qualified rotation player.
The Suns players are falling apart, the home attendance is also quite dismal, and if you just look at the empty stadiums, you think this is a preseason game.
After the start of the game, perhaps because of the fatigue caused by consecutive away games, the Pacers' state is not very good, not only the shooting percentage is very low, the defensive rotation is not in place, and even the "Spurs" player, who is known for his stability, point guard - George Hill, also makes frequent mistakes.
It seems that everything is preparing for the appearance of the fairy road.
Although the expression of the fairy on the bench was solemn, he was still more happy in his heart.
Although I hope that the team will win the game, with the current mentality of Xiandao who is eager to prove himself, the personal interest is greater than the team's interest.
And the personal interests mentioned here do not conflict with the team's interest, and the character of Xiandao is not the kind of player who likes to brush data, if his own play can drive the team and win the game, it is a win-win situation for personal interests and team interests.
Anyway, in the previous finals with the Antlers, Xiandao did just that.
"Du~!!!"
As he spoke, the referee's whistle sounded, and looking at the gestures, it should be that Stephenson, who was blowing the fast attack, walked in violation of the rules.
Although Stephenson spread his hands and looked at the referee with a helpless expression, the penalty could not be changed.
Seeing such a situation, Vogel also kept shaking his head and was angry.
At this time, the most hopeful thing for Immortal Dao is that Vogel can look at him with a look of trust in his eyes.
But looking at Vogel, who was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, there seemed to be no trend of substitutions.
Some things really can only be done with good things.
"Brush~!!"
Here, the Suns hit a long-range shot from the outside.
"Du~!!!"
"The Pacers request a timeout~!!"
Vogel really couldn't even stand.
Although a timeout was called, there seemed to be no intention of substitution.
Xiandao listened carefully to the coach's tactics, while twisting his neck, no matter when, he must always be ready to play, this is the truth.
Coming back from the timeout, the Pacers laid out a George single-and-all play in the low post.
Defending George was Beasley.
While Beasley didn't play up to the prospects he boasted about in the draft, his physical prowess allowed him to contribute to the team on the defensive end.
Apparently, George's attack was in trouble.
But George still chose a forced turnaround and back-to-back jumper~!!
Beasley didn't get it, but it did.
"Bell~!!"
The ball is still short.
"Du~!!!"
Just as they were scrambling for a rebound, the whistle blew again.
The referee quite resolutely came to Stephenson, who was holding the rebound, stretched out his fingers, and made a push motion.
Stephenson managed to get a rebound, but he didn't expect to be busy.
Because the foul count was full, Stephenson's foul made the opponent go to the free throw for nothing.
Vogel began to shake his head like a rattle again, and finally, he set his eyes on Sendo at the end of the bench.
This time, Vogel didn't hesitate any longer, and directly handed out his eyes, which were the eyes that an immortal had waited for too long.
With 2 minutes and 32 seconds left in the first quarter, Xiandao ushered in the game.
Xiandao almost jumped and took off his coat and came to the field.
The first quarter should make Xiandao full, and whether he can continue to get playing time in the next quarter depends on Xiandao's performance in the past two minutes.
"Huh~~~ Come on, let's call this the "Starry Sky Arena"~!!"
Sendo stood near the free throw line and encouraged himself.
After the Suns' free throws, George was singled again.
But it was still more difficult, and this time it was almost cut off by Beasley. George has come to a dangerous position to monetize.
Seeing that there is not much time, I can only make a strong throw again~!!
But at this moment, George gave the ball to Xiandao, who didn't look at his watch at all, and threw the ball directly~!!
"The feeling is coming~!!"
