Chapter 65: Hard Dishes?

Payton Jr. played more than 5 minutes in the second quarter and still didn't score a point......

From hope to disappointment to despair...... Jaqui Vaughn felt like his heart was on a roller coaster.

Before entering the locker room, assistant coach Keon Weiss stopped Jacqui Vaughn.

"What are you going to do?"

"Scold them?" His voice was worried.

Too much reprimanding young players can sometimes be counterproductive.

Jacqui Vaughn hesitated and shook his head, "I don't think that's going to be a good idea. ”

"But if you don't do anything, it's not a good thing......"

Keon Weiss asked curiously, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Well, you'll see......" Jacqui Vaughn didn't continue, pushing open the locker room door......

At halftime, the Knicks led the Magic by four points, 53-49.

Lao Yu praised Xu Xuan in the locker room, not because Xu Xuan scored a double in the half, but because his triangle attack was perfectly executed......

When they came back from the break, the two teams switched sides.

As soon as Xu Xuan looked over, he was shocked by the "big deal" of the head coach opposite!

Payton Jr., who didn't score 1 point in the first half, was there!

And it's paired with Aaron Gordon......

What does this mean?

Xu Xuan was a little confused.

"Not only is it the tenth in the first round, but the rumor is also here?"

Unlike Payton Jr., who was traded, Aaron Gordon was selected by the Magic with the No. 4 pick.

It's just that his performance is not as good as Payton Jr., who was traded from the 76ers, plus Oladipo and Fournier in front of him, so his average playing time per game is not as high as Payton Jr......

Tim Hardaway Jr. patted Xu Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your hard dish is here......

"Hard dishes?" Xu Xuan smiled and shook his head: "I don't see where they are hard ......"

He probably understood what the Magic team meant, in the game just now, Payton Jr. was undoubtedly at a disadvantage, and they were naturally unconvinced, the tenth in the first round couldn't beat the second round show, it didn't make sense!

So they're on two now!

I can't beat you in the first round tenth, plus a pass on the whole thing, right?

However...... The truth came as a surprise to many.

After the two rookie combinations, the situation of the Magic team is even worse than before.

Just now, Peyton Jr. collapsed alone, and now the whole team collapses together......

Strictly speaking, Gordon is still just a dunk.

Since the start of the season, he has averaged only 1.2 outside shots per game, and the rest has basically been scored by dunks.

His offensive style is also very simple, dunking with the ball.

However, it is very difficult to complete a dunk in an official game, unless you counterattack quickly or switch between marches, where do you get the opportunity to dunk?

The Magic lost ......

After swapping Jacqui Vaughan for Payton Jr. and Gordon, they lost.

Xu Xuan only played 25 minutes and made 6 of 9 shots, scoring 16 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds, while Magic Gordon and Payton Jr. combined for only 2 points......

The two points were scored by Gordon, while Payton Jr. played 20 minutes and didn't score a point......

It's incredible!

Xu Xuan actually looks better than Gordon and Peyton Jr.!

Wrong...... It's better than both of them combined!

It is true that many people say that the Knicks may have found a treasure this season, but from past experience, they still don't trust Xu Xuan, which is a deep-rooted impression.

What I didn't expect was that Xu Xuan beat a pass and the tenth in the first round like this here......

The moment the final whistle blew, the whole audience was boiling!

Xu Xuan, who got 16 points and 6 assists, became the "fourth hero", don't think about it, the first is always the Zen master's, the second is the melon, and the third is the old fish's......

The old fish on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, he was hammered by the Eagles for two consecutive games, and his pressure was not small, and now it is undoubtedly exciting news to be able to win one back at home.

And if you win this game, you can also give the old Zen master an explanation...... After all, it is won by attacking (hitting) with three (blind) angles (several) (several) (ba)......

"You should go over and shake hands...... "Lambis, who has experience as a head coach, whispered to Lao Yu.

The old fish slapped his head and snorted, he went with joy and forgot about this stubble......

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks, you guys played great!"

The two managers exchanged a hug and a polite gesture.

"What happened to me Kangkang? The first round of the tenth plus the pass was abused by a second-round show? (shocked)"

"Elfried played 20 minutes and didn't score a point? What's going on? (I don't understand)"

"I just want to ask the people who didn't choose Xu Xuan in the first place, do they regret it? (Schadenfreude)"

Since the beginning of the season, Xu Xuan, who has averaged 9.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.7 rebounds per game, is definitely one of the best performers in the class of 2014!

This statistic is a bit of a stagger, and the champion Wiggins is only averaging 12 points per game so far, while Gordon, like the Magic, is only averaging 5 points per game......

Magic head coach Jacqui Vaughn bluntly expressed his appreciation for Xu Xuan after the game: "I saw the shadow of success in that young player! ”

Some reporters want to ask: When the success is the star, Jacqui Vaughn is gone......

The Magic team suffered three consecutive defeats this time, and he had to hurry back and think about how to play the next game.

If this continues, it will be up to God to see how long he, as a manager, will be able to do it......

......

Xu Xuan, who had just finished taking a shower, was surrounded by a group of reporters in the locker room before he could get dressed.

What is different from the past is that this time there are many unfamiliar faces, American journalists.

In the past, most of the interviews with Xu Xuan were domestic reporters, and these Yankees looked down on Xu Xuan to put it bluntly, and didn't think Xu Xuan could have much development potential, so there were very few people who came to interview.

And now...... Xu Xuan paid a little attention to the signs on their chests, ESPN, TNT......

Several major media outlets in the United States have arrived.

"Hello Xu, I'm a reporter from ESPN, I want to ask how you feel about winning the game now?"

"Happy, of course happy."

"What do you want to do later?"

"I'll probably go get some food and go home and sleep."

"Do you think it's easy to win the game?"

"Uh...... It wasn't easy, we were tired and it was hard to win the game. ”

"Do you think you have a lot of credit? In this game. ”

"No, I played averagely, but my teammates played really well, and I basically just lay down and win......"

"Can you evaluate your opponent?"

"Yes, my opponents are playing very well, especially Elfried and Aaron, they not only play well on their own, but also cooperate very well."

"But the two of them combined for 2 points?"

“......”
