95-113, the Warriors finally lost, and they lost badly.

They paid the price for a poor interior offense. Wright, who played well on the court, was completely lost, and Biedrins struggled to hold on, leaving the game with six fouls in the fourth quarter.

Five Kings scored in double figures, while the Warriors had three, with Biedrins scoring the most at 16, Jackson with 15 and Azubuke with 12. Zhou Xuan felt as bad as he was on the court, shooting 3 of 10, 2 of 2 free throws, and missing both three-point shots, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, and 7 turnovers.

Five of Zhou's mistakes came when he made a quick counter-attack pass. He believes that as long as he plays fast, he can break through the Kings' defense, and it is difficult for Miller and Hawes to quickly return to the defense. However, his first pass to launch a fast attack was a bit rough and inaccurate, and Azubuuk was not as good as Margeti. In fact, Azubuke has to attach half of the responsibility for the mistake, he ran too fast, and he didn't look back much before the opponent's three-point line, which made Zhou Xuan's long pass difficult to grasp, either big or small.

In this loss to the underdogs, ESPN called it a rather gimmick of "magic failure" to regret that the Warriors could not continue their winning streak. Zhou Xuan was the one who cast the spell, and his tandem organization made the Warriors more like a whole than last season.

The Warriors are 6-1, and Zhou Xuan's statistics are far better than Yi Jianlian's in seven games, although he can't become a regular season MVP candidate like Yao Ming, but it has also attracted the attention of fans all over the world, even if his recent performance has been sluggish, no one blames him.

Tencent's NBA Sports Review said: "Even if he failed to extend the winning streak, the effect brought by Zhou Xuan has not diminished, and he has proven that Chinese defenders can also make a name for themselves in the NBA." Regardless of the victory or defeat, his excellent passing vision and team spirit have touched countless fans and Chinese basketball lovers. He proved one thing to people with his actions, even if he doesn't have good physical conditions, he can still play basketball well. He pointed out a clear path for Chinese players, don't always think about dominating the game with singles, and cooperate with teammates is the right way. The body of the Chinese cannot be Jordan, nor can they have the speed of Iverson, but they can imitate Zhou Xuan's style of play, and people who are less than one meter nine tall and have average quality may also become stars. ”

Chinese fans are more indifferent to Zhou Xuan's decline in stats and the Warriors' loss.

Someone commented on the Internet: "Zhou Xuan is not a god, he is a human being, and there are always troughs in people." And the Warriors were not favored at all before the game, with Margeti injured and Harrington out of the game, and the loss was even more reasonable. One can't expect Zhou Xuan to perform well every game, delivering double-digit assists, and Nash also has four assists per game. It's not right to be harsh on a young person, you can't ask him to do more. ”

Of course, there are also some opponents, saying that Zhou Xuan is nothing without teammates, and he can't score or defend, let alone attract bags.

Zhou Xuan didn't care much about these criticisms, because he knew that people would also fiercely criticize Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

For example, the Wizards are ranked tenth in the East, but Jamison averages 20+10 per game, and some people will say on the Internet that Jamison is very good and strong, while Yao Ming's 19+9 data strength is a cut worse, and the movement is slow, and the garbage is one. In fact, Yao Ming's defense is much stronger than Jamison's, how much worse is the data of 19+9 than 20+10?

In the eyes of some extreme Chinese fans, Yao Ming must average 30+10 per game like O'Neal, plus 4+ assists like Olajuwon, and 3+ blocks to be qualified. In addition, Yao Ming must move quickly, he can cover the center inside, and he can defend the defender outside, and the season is perfect for full attendance.

But then Yao Ming is not Chinese, not even an earthling, and his human appearance must be a metal structure, a transformer.

Since Zhou Xuan came to the United States, he has been living in ups and downs. Before joining the Warriors, he encountered a lot of snubs and abuse, and no one was optimistic about him joining the NBA. He has always had a clear attitude towards life, which is to do his best. As for what others say, it doesn't matter anymore.

Zhou Xuan knew very well that there were many reasons why he was in a bad state.

The first is that the NBA schedule is too tight, and I feel luxurious without a game for two days, and I still have to train. He had never traveled so frequently by plane before, and every time he went to a city, he stayed in an unfamiliar hotel or an unfamiliar room, and he always had a bad rest.

The second is diet, and Zhou Xuan is not used to it.

NBA players' away games are equivalent to business trips, $102 per person per day, all of which are "food subsidies", which is clearly stipulated in the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, which shows how much the league attaches importance to players' meals.

If you want to maintain a good physical condition in the long season of the NBA, "eating" is undoubtedly the fundamental guarantee, and how to eat and what to eat not only has its scientific basis, but also reflects the professional quality of a player.

The team does not serve meals, and the dietitian will recommend eating more beef, chicken, vegetables, and fruits, and there is no moderation or special recipe for these foods, because they all provide enough calories and nutrients.

The NBA is very professional, and there is no one to supervise or check whether you are eating according to the recommendations, but the team will regularly check the physical condition of the players, such as measuring the fat content. If a player is found to have excess fat, the nutritionist will report it to the manager, who will ask the player to lose weight and even control the amount of time he plays.

The best way to do it was of course to follow a few veterans, and they ate whatever Zhou Xuan ate, but he soon found that the taste was too bad. Negroes don't care much about the taste of food. Zhou Xuan is used to eating food, in his opinion, the food in the hotel is not very good, and he is too lazy to go, and he can only eat high-calorie food in order to enhance his physique.

In addition, there is physical strength. In the past, Zhou Xuan was always very confident in his physical strength, and he worked hardest when training. In addition to the training arranged by the team, he will also practice passing. It is the same equipment used in the All-Star Weekend and the Acrobatics Challenge to practice through and ground passes. It is precisely because of a month of diligent practice that his passing accuracy has improved significantly, and now he is only close to accurate with long passes.

Now he no longer thinks that his physical strength is infinite. The veterans do know how to allocate physical strength more reasonably than him, which is more difficult to learn than the technique.

Fortunately, in the next game, the Warriors' opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is a good opportunity to adjust, and the Timberwolves currently have a bad record, 1-6, which is an obvious "soft persimmon".

After flying to Minnesota, and after the group checked into the hotel, Zhou Xuan received Mitchell? Butler's call.

Mitchell has been very busy recently, helping Zhou Xuan screen advertising endorsements while also paying attention to the competition. Because he has a good customer, he is also a little famous in the circle of economic people.

After greeting each other, Mitchell asked, "Stephen, I don't think you seem to have much energy, and you're tired after the first 7 games?" The season is less than a tenth complete. ”

"It's a bit tiring, I didn't have to fly around in three days before, and the away game is really bad." Zhou Xuan complained.

"Oh? Is there a condition that you still have the spirit to cook? ”

Zhou Xuan thought for a while and sighed: "No, even if I have a kitchen, I am too lazy to cook, and I want to sleep lazy now." ”

"Is there another reason? Sister Olsen went to Auckland to find you, and you didn't have any romantic affair with anyone? Mitchell asked with a smile.

Zhou Xuan could completely imagine his lewd smile and sobbing face. "Unfortunately, nothing happened, we are really just friends, how many times do you want me to explain. To tell you the truth, I actually want to fall in love with Chinese, and my parents also want me to find them a Chinese daughter-in-law. ”

"Are you talking about the girl sitting not far behind your players' bench? There are photos of her on the Internet, she is very beautiful and has star potential, I watched the live broadcast and noticed that you greeted her. Mitchell laughed.

"What?" Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Nie Yuyan to be on the news, and she was also photographed, I don't know what she would think about it.

"You don't know what to do? Don't worry, it's a beautiful shot. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly: "Did you call me a long distance just to chat?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Yes, you didn't play well in the Grizzlies and the Kings, don't affect your state because of falling in love. Man, even though it's your rookie season, set yourself a high goal, and I want you to win the assist title, or at least the Rookie of the Year. Mitchell was serious.

"I understand, I'll do my best."

"Hmm. Become an All-Star as soon as possible to live up to the Olsen sisters' love for you, whose 2006 label 'TheRow' used to be women's clothing, but this winter is the first time to launch menswear, and it's because of you. You have a great chance not to chase it! Mitchell said loudly on the other end of the phone.

"Dude, don't get excited. I know that they want me to be an endorsement, and I am willing to work with them, even if they ask me to be a model, I can accept two things. Zhou Xuan gouged out his ears and said with a smile.

"Damn, who looks at those two points of the man. Mary called me, and the two of them are going to model with you, man, and I suspect Mary likes you because it's men's clothing and they don't have to show up, but Mary insists on doing it. Mitchell sighed.

Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment and swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

Friendship is friendship, love is love, and he doesn't want to mix them up. He also guessed that filming an advertisement with the Olsen sisters might lead to a bigger scandal, but he couldn't refuse, this is a friend's brand. At this time, he suddenly saw his heart clearly, he was always afraid that Nie Yuyan would misunderstand the relationship between him and the two sisters.

"Hey, why don't you speak, where has the iQue gone?"

"I thought this was a good gimmick, maybe more people would vote for me as an All-Star." Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Mitchell, sign the contract as soon as possible, the price is arbitrary." ”

"Good. I don't have anything else to do, I'll tell you when I have a good endorsement. Mitchell hung up.

Zhou Xuan took a shower, watched TV for a while, and got ready to rest and eliminate distracting thoughts.

The Warriors have to win tomorrow's game, and he is confident that he will win.
