An ordinary game, because Zhou Xuan's appearance had a special significance, in the second half of the third quarter, the person in charge of technical statistics was surprised to find that he was about to break the record.

The NBDL's single-game assist record is 19, which is Ramon from the Bucks to the Tusa 66ers. Sessions created it in January of this year. Sessions has played 27 games for the 66ers, averaging 21 per game. 2 points 6. 6 rebounds 7. With an all-round contribution of 8 assists, he was an inexplicable star in the Development League when he didn't have a chance to play in the Bucks.

Now that the third quarter has not been played, Zhou Xuan, who is playing for the defenders for the first time, has already got 15 assists. As long as he continues to play in the fourth quarter, it is entirely possible to get five assists.

With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Zhou Xuan was substituted. The fans outside the stadium gave a round of applause. With the exception of that open dunk for Kruger, most of his passes were unpretentious, but he always created shots and his teammates shot very well.

The defenders led by 22 points 97-75, even if Zhou Xuan didn't play, this game should be won, and the jam team was beaten out of temper.

Leonard called Zhou Xuan to his side and asked, "Do you still want to play in the fourth quarter?" Do you have enough physical strength? ”

"Of course I want to fight, I've never been short of energy." Zhou Xuan has absolute confidence in his physical strength. Because he likes basketball, when he played wild ball on the domestic street court, he didn't know how tired he was for a few hours, and he didn't want to leave until it was dark and his leg cramped. He weighs less and consumes less.

Leonard nodded: "Then you will continue to play in the fourth quarter and pass more good balls for the audience to see." ”

"No problem."

The third quarter ended with the score at 104-85 and the defenders leading by 19 points.

In the fourth quarter, Zhou Xuan was arranged to play, along with three teammates who could shoot three-pointers and Payne, the main center.

Leonard made a few strokes on the strategy board and said, "Continue the pick-and-roll strategy, Pike (Payne) covers high, Zhou is in charge of possession, and the other three pull away, especially Kenk, you have to withdraw the interior and prepare to shoot threes." ”

Zhou Xuan is very suitable for blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, relying on cover to get into the three-point line, and passing the ball if the misalignment attracts the defense. The opponent couldn't keep up with him inside, so he hit the shot himself. He didn't take many shots, only 6 times, only conceded 2 shots, and got 9 points, 15 assists and 2 steals. He didn't know that he was about to break the record, and Leonard wasn't going to tell him to let him play freely, not to mention that he could pass the ball anyway.

The coach arranged tactics and regarded Zhou Xuan as the team's outside core, and the inside core was Payne. Payne can shoot, but he can't play in the NBA. One is because he is 29 years old and has no development potential, and the other is that the speed is too slow. The offensive disadvantage is not obvious, you can score with your body, and on the defensive end, the defender can pass him in one step. Compared to him, Yao Ming can be called agile.

Kenk. Aki was one of the last power forwards to be drafted in the second round in 2005 and failed to sign with an NBA team. His physique is not good, he is 207CM tall and has an advantage on the periphery, he can shoot three-pointers, and the Rockets' Novak is the same type, but not as accurate as Novak, so he can only mix with the development league.

Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, and Mejia began to interfere in the backcourt. He has been beaten out of anger by Zhou Xuan, and he is really moving.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his hip twice in a row after half-time, handed his right hand to his left hand, and gently probed his left shoulder, attracting Mei to move his heart and quickly change direction to hand over the ball to his right hand, and successfully broke through from the right side. MEGA'S 195CM HEIGHT WAS ALSO FLAWED DEFENSIVELY, MOVING SLOWLY AND ALMOST BEING SHAKEN TO THE GROUND.

Zhou Xuan burst into the inside, and the big forward of the jam team made up for the defense and let go of Aki. The center is still fighting Payne, standing in the low post. Zhou Xuan quickly analyzed the situation, first stopped and half-turned around and pretended to pass the ball to Dalius, who was pulled to the left side at 60 degrees, and then sent the ball to the bottom line with both hands and handed it to Kenk, the "noodle big forward" on the right side of the bottom line. Greg.

Aki adjusted the vacancy, and made a comfortable shot from outside the three-point line, hollowing into the net. 107 to 85.

Zhou Xuan gave his 16th assist.

Aki came on, and the defenders became even more defenseless. The jam shooting guard easily broke through the ball, and Davis resisted Aki's dunk to score. 107 to 87.

The defender attacked again, Zhou Xuan's proficiency in dribbling was beyond Mejia's imagination, and the ball protection was also very good, and it was difficult to break. In China, Zhou Xuan's first practice is dribbling, and his basic skills are very solid. Without a body, only a good dribble can get a chance. Middle school students play ball, and the most efficient way to score is to break through to the basket, not to shoot. Zhou Xuan is good at breaking through and shooting basketballs, and on the offensive end, he can not play with his back in the low post, and he can do a little bit of other skills.

This time he didn't need to block and dismantle when he got to the frontcourt, dribbling the ball under his left crotch to his right hand and dribbling to the right side, and Mejia just took a small step sideways. Zhou Xuan's right hand immediately pulled the ball up, and one dribbled behind and broke to the left. After this action, Mejia completely "surrendered the gun" and could only watch him pass past him.

played well, Zhou Xuan's actions became more and more bold, he broke into the middle, the three of them attracted the defense on the periphery, and evacuated the inside line, only the opponent's center could make up for the defense, but the man was also entangled with Payne, just symbolically stretched out his hand, and Zhou Xuan scored in the middle with a low hand. 109 to 87. He scored his 11th point and scored a double-double!

If you ask him how he feels, it's so cool. Now he feels like he's running faster and jumping higher than usual.

There are different types of players, some of whom are invincible in training, and when they come to the game, they are nervous, and they can't play at the usual level of seventy percent, and they don't score free throws. There are also people who are usually so-so in training and unwilling to contribute, and they explode in full force as soon as they arrive on the field, such as Allen. Iverson. Zhou Xuan is also the kind of person who watches the ball and the better he plays.

In the next round, the center of the jam team failed to play Payne alone, passed the ball outside, and Zhou Xuan ran back to accurately block the passing route, breaking the ball and launching a counterattack. Tucor quickly entered the penalty area, received a pass from Zhou Xuan and scored a layup. 111 to 87.

The team led by a large score, but Leonard had no intention of replacing Zhou Xuan, he wanted to see how far this newcomer could go.

With 8 minutes and 16 seconds left, Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side of the cover, attracted the defense and shared the ball, and Dalius hit a three-point shot on the left side.

At 6 minutes and 55 seconds, Zhou Xuan dropped the ball to Payne on the left side, and the latter turned to hit the board.

At 5 minutes and 20 seconds, Zhou Xuan broke through and attracted the opponent's inside line to make up the defense, the ball was handed over to the bottom line, and Aki hit three points again.

At 3 minutes and 51 seconds, Zhou Xuan assisted Taylor, who had just come on the court, to score a shot.

After this goal, Zhou Xuan's assist tally reached 21, breaking the record set by Sessions not long ago. Leonard finally replaced him, and the defenders led by 25 points, which was already garbage time.

The NBDL is not like the NBA, there is no announcer, and the record of the Development League is not very valued, and Sessions has been selected as the best player for two consecutive weeks, which is just a casual mention in the news section, so it is not clear what happened when Zhou Xuan left the game.

The fans gave him a round of applause, and he played a dominant performance in his first game, scoring 11 points, 21 assists, and 3 steals, but not a single rebound. But that's okay, rebounding isn't a point guard's job, and his physique can't be like Jason's. Kidd grabbed double-digit rebounds like that.

"Zhou, do you know how many assists you have in total?" Vane asked with a smile after the game.

"I don't know if there are 20 of them, right?" Zhou Xuan began to count, but then he didn't bother to memorize it, there were people in the stadium who specifically recorded the data, and it was meaningless for him to waste that thought.

"21, before that, the NBDL single-game assist record was 19, congratulations on breaking the record! Oh my god, it's just your first game. Vane laughed.

"Really?" Zhou Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect that he could break the record, it was too easy, much easier than him breaking through and desperately dodging the defense and shooting and scoring. He's still full of energy, and it's okay to fight again.

The defenders took the lead without any suspense, and as soon as the game ended, a reporter immediately came forward to interview, and it was Chinese, which made Zhou Xuan feel very cordial.

"Hello, Zhou Xuan, I'm Liu Kai, a reporter from Sina.com, can you say hello to the fans in front of the camera? A lot of people will see it. ”

"Well, hello everyone, I'm Zhou Xuan, I hope everyone supports me!" Zhou Xuan shook hands with Liu Kai, then waved and smiled at the camera, he wanted to show his best mental outlook.

"This is your first professional game, the performance is amazing, your performance is much better than when you played in the NBDL, do you have any feelings?"

"I'm so excited, I just want to fight again right away. Thank you to everyone who supported me, I'm glad I didn't disappoint everyone. ”

Liu Kai smiled: "Your experience seems to be quite bumpy, is there anything you want to say to Chinese fans here?" ”

"I will try to improve my standards and strive to bring glory to my country in the international arena in the future. The Olympics are coming, it would be great if the Basketball Association approached me, and it was my childhood dream to play for the national team. Zhou Xuan said with a smile. He really wants to make it to the Beijing Olympics, which is the best stage.

It should be possible to become a star in the NBDL and go to the national team, right? Zhou Xuan thought to himself. His intelligence has improved, but he is not clear about the national situation, he thinks things too simply, and if he wants to enter the national team, he is not destined to have the strength to do so, and he is destined to miss the Beijing Olympics.

Liu Kai knew a little about the Basketball Association and diverted the topic. "You're confident, is it your goal to get into the NBA?"

"Of course. I'm ready now, and if a team that lacks a point guard contacts me, I'm going to be able to play well. ”

"What's your favorite team?" Liu Kai asked.

"Phoenix Suns, their offense is beautiful. There is also the rocket, because Yao Ming is there, if Brother Yao is willing to cover me, it must be a wonderful thing. Zhou Xuan showed a yearning look.

Is this a newcomer seeking a cover? Liu Kaihan said: "Maybe Yao Ming is also paying attention to you now." ”

'That's for the best, I think one day we'll be team-mates and I'm willing to pass the ball to him.'
