No. 8, the first preseason game of the new season for the Knicks.

The opponent is the Boston Celtics.

This season, the Knicks have played 7 preseason games, 3 home and 4 away.

Among them, except for the Bucks and Wizards, the rest are in the Atlantic region.

And the two games against the Bucks and the Wizards are also at home, at least they don't have to fly back and forth in the sky for a long time.

"Hey, man, are you afraid of heights?" On the plane, Tim Hardaway Jr. was speechless.

Xu Xuan shook his head.

"Then why are you keeping your eyes closed?"

"I'm wondering who will start."

Tim Hardaway Jr. smiled: "Although I don't know who it is, I guess it won't be you." ”

Xu Xuan pursed his lips, feeling the urge to punch at him.

Tim Hardaway Jr. continued to fall into the trap, "I'm telling the truth," his voice became sincere, "That Langston is better than you." ”

Xu Xuan's heart was congested.

After Calderon confirmed his injury, several of the team's young point guards were eyeing the starting position.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Xu Xuan and Langston are undoubtedly the two people with the best chances.

However, when they arrived in Boston, the choice of the old fish was surprising.

"Today, Sean, Tim, Carmelo, Amare, Jason, you five starters."

The old fish Fisher knocked the tactical board in his hand, and his face was majestic.

"Sean?"

Everyone suddenly focused on Sean Larkin in unison.

Sean Larkin looked triumphant, and his eyes were slanted when he looked at Xu Xuan and Langston.

"Hell, Fisher actually let Sean start?" Tim Hardaway Jr. said in a low voice, but he looked excited, "Did this guy stumble when he made the list?" ”

"Why are you so excited?" Xu Xuan glanced at him in surprise, his eyes were deep.

"Damn, what's that look in your eyes?" Tim Hardaway Jr. was annoyed: "I just don't feel worth it for you." ”

"Then I thank you."

Xu Xuan walked away and sat down in the corner.

"Don't say it, it's cool to watch the ball here!"

Xu Xuan looked around, VIP seats, ah, this is.

Not far from his left hand was the cheerleading team of the Celtics, and Xu Xuan couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Ahem, there is no other meaning, it is simply to appreciate beauty.

"Those girls are nice, aren't they?"

Press one hand on your shoulder.

Xu Xuan turned his head and saw a face, it was Samuel Dalemport, the veteran of the team.

Samuel is the oldest player in the team, born in 81, he is 33 years old this year, he is one year older than Xiao Si.

He's a Haitian-Canadian, a kind guy who just came to the Big Apple this season.

"Nope." Xu Xuan turned his head to look over there again and shook his head, his voice was very loud: "My girlfriends are more beautiful than them!" ”

"Then you are really a dedicated person, God bless you." Samuel looked at the group of girls and smiled: "When I was your age, I would sleep late every night. ”

He winked at Xu Xuan: "You understand, don't you?" ”

"Of course." Xu Xuan nodded: "I heard little Tim say that even if you are your current age, the time of once is more than 3 times his, and little Tim said that what he wants to be the most is such a dashing person as you." ”

Samuel was about to laugh, but the smile suddenly froze on his face.

"What do you say? 3 times as much as him? "The sound sounds strange.

"yes, he said that not only is the durability time, but you are also 3 times his size?"

Xu Xuan looked sincere.

"Damn it!" Samuel scolded angrily: "I'm going to skin this kid!" ”

Xu Xuan snickered.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is easy-going, can hang out with anyone, and he has a quirk that likes to bathe with people.

So......

On the field, the game was very intense.

Melon and Xiao Si were on the field at the same time, but Xu Xuan couldn't see any cooperation between the two at all.

The Knicks don't have any tactics, basically melon after melon, melon after melon, melon after melon......

Xiao Si?

Xiao Si really doesn't have a lot of independent attacks now, and after looking at it for most of the quarter, Xiao Si has made a total of three shots.

There was a second timeout in the first quarter, and the two sides entered the rotation phase.

Xu Xuan sat up straight, his ears held high, and he looked nervous.

"Don't be nervous, man, it's just a normal preseason."

Samuel patted Xu Xuan on the shoulder, a smile on his face.

"Thank you." Xu Xuan shook his head: "I'm not nervous, I just want to go up and try it." ”

"There will be opportunities, you are still young, and the opportunities are endless." Samuel said in a calm tone: "I think at the beginning, I was like you, looking forward to every game, hey, you didn't know we were ...... at that time"

This guy is a chatter.

Xu Xuan, who was barabalaed by him, didn't know when the rotation was over!

Old Fish changed four people in succession, except for Tim Hardaway Jr., the other four people were all replaced.

And he still stayed on the bench honestly.

Langston went up.

Sean Lakin deliberately walked around in front of Xu Xuan with a high spirit, and pretended to wipe the sweat on his head.

Xu Xuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly handed him a towel with a smile on his face.

"Sean, are you tired? Here, wipe your sweat. ”

Sean Larkin glanced at Xu Xuan in surprise, and secretly said in his heart, has this guy changed sex?

"I've heard that Rajan's worst thing is shooting, and you can force him to score in a way that he is not good at, and it's a good game!"

Xu Xuan smiled sincerely and gave him a thumbs up.

"What?"

Sean Larkin didn't understand for a moment.

"You played well, it's worth learning."

"Huh? Is that what it means? ”

Sean Larkin is a little baffled, why does he always feel that something is wrong?

......

The game entered the second quarter.

"Does this Coach Derek have anything in mind? Several young guards went up, but Xu Xuan was left alone. Ke Fan, who was commentating the game, chatted with Wang Meng.

"Don't worry, we're not in a hurry, the game is still long." Wang Meng comforted.

Xu Xuan is calm now.

If I was a little anxious and nervous at the beginning, after Sean Larkin came down, this feeling of anxiety faded a lot.

There's always a chance, isn't it?

......

It wasn't until the end of the third quarter that Xu Xuan finally heard Rambis's voice.

"Xu, get ready, go on the field right away."

Xu Xuan quickly bounced up from his seat, quickly took off his pants, and walked to the side of Fisher on the rostrum.

"What instructions does the coach have?"

Lao Yu glanced up at him, and quickly turned his head away: "No, go up and fight hard." ”
