Chapter 93: Do You Want to Advance?
At the end of the second quarter of the game, Xu Xuan pushed his score to 28 points with a small throw!
28 points at halftime!
Xu Xuan has now broken his career single-game scoring record!
And, look like this, 30+ can't run tonight!
It's a dead life!
Are all rookies so fierce now?
McHale felt tired, and the only good news was that they didn't fall behind, and in the second half of the second quarter, Harden also scored 10 points!
28VS26!
The team-wide score was 52-50, and the Knicks only led by 2 points!
"Coach, can we still strangle him now?" Assistant coach Chris Finch leaned over and asked.
McHale glanced at him, then shook his head: "It's useless to strangle him now."
"What then?"
"We're tired of him!"
The 15 minutes of halftime were hard for the Knicks and Chinese fans.
In the studio, Ke Fan and Wang Meng were chatting about Xu Xuan's performance in the first half.
"Xu Xuan broke through a lot in the first half, and Houston may not be willing to Xu Xuan to shoot on the outside."
"If you want me to say, it's better to just let Xu Xuan shoot on the outside, you don't have any stable outside defense in Houston, and it's not realistic to rely on Terry and Isaiah Cannan to defend Xu Xuan......"
"30+, I don't think there's any problem, the only thing that worries people is Xu Xuan's physical fitness, he played 18 minutes in regular time in the first half alone!"
"I personally suggest that you can go down and rest for a few minutes in the third quarter, don't work too hard......"
As is customary, Xu Xuan must have started in the third quarter.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game in the third quarter, Xu Xuan still stayed on the court.
First Attack!
"Xu Xuan holds the ball, do you still want to burst out? I feel like Cannan is a little flustered right now....."
Cannan did panic a bit, and the coach laid out a new tactic in the locker room at half-time.
From "strangling him" to "exhausting him".
Kannan didn't understand how to exhaust him, and after the events of the first quarter, he now instinctively had a sense of fear for Xu Xuan.
"Don't surprise me, don't surprise me, don't surprise me......" Kannan kept muttering in his heart, trying for Xu Xuan to hear and let him go.
He really didn't want to be shaken down a second time!
Maybe...... Xu Xuan really heard it.
This time, he didn't choose a fancy breakthrough with the ball, but through the defense, he shot a three-pointer from half a step outside the three-point line!
Swish!
The top of the arc position is his strong point!
Three-point hands up and down!
"31 minutes! Xu Xuan has now caught up with the UAE's record for the highest score in a single game in the NBA! ”
"He hasn't stopped yet! 33! 36! He's still scoring! He has surpassed the UAE!! ”
"It's only 5 points away from Da Yao's single-game record of 41 points! It's only 5 points away!! ”
It's already boiling in the studio!
And the vast number of Chinese fans are also boiling!
Who would have thought that a little-known young player could really gain a foothold in the NBA and create miracles step by step!
McHale looked at Isaiah Cannan with resentment: "What about tired him?" ”
Cannan didn't have a rut, unlike the first half, in the third quarter, Xu Xuan didn't go to the inside line, but went to the outside to shoot.
Xu Xuan is not a fool, the physical consumption of going to the inner line must be greater, it is better to save some effort floating on the outside line.
Xu Xuan rubbed his hands, he felt as if he was like a god today, and his hands felt hot!
Inside breakthrough depends on technique, but outside shooting depends on feel!
"Do you want to advance?"
A surprise thought came to Xu Xuan's heart.
This feel, this state... It's all about going to the next level!
Xu Xuan exhaled to calm himself down, but now there was a problem, he didn't know which talent was going to advance.
Is it Curry or Will Shao?
Xu Xuan felt that not only did he feel good today, but his physical fitness seemed to be a little more abundant than usual......
Is it two together?
Xu Xuan's breathing became heavy......
Harden's offensive toss and hit the board didn't score... It's tiring to attack him like this.
Samuel took the rebound and gave it to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan took over from outside the three-point line to face Cannan's defense......
The corner of McHale's eyebrows jumped, fortunately Xu Xuan didn't score, but Samuel actively grabbed the rebound and continued to distribute it to Xu Xuan on the outside...... Or three points!
"Boom!"
Didn't go in again!
"Damn, is it finally not working?" McHale excitedly stood up from his seat and shouted, "Fight back!" Counterattack! ”
But the players of the Mosaic team on the court are all sore faces, there are no rebounds, and they are fighting back!
This time, the rebound was actually grabbed by Xu Xuan!
He didn't stand still and wait after the shot, but put it in the basket, and he really picked up a leak.
"It's like me again this time...... Wei Shao said helplessly, he doesn't know who Xu Xuan looks like now.
After getting the rebound, Xu Xuan didn't stay on the inside for long, because Motai lost two frontcourt rebounds in a row, and now he is annoyed.
Xu Xuan ran back from the bottom line to the bottom corner of the left side, this is not his strong point, but the opponent's defense has not come up yet, and there is a chance to vacate the position!
Three-point bow and arrow! Right in the middle of the heart!
39 minutes!!
This is also in?
Xu Xuan himself was a little surprised, his three-point shooting rate was less than 20% in this position......
God is here to help!
"39 points! Now Xu Xuan is only 2 points away from Da Yao's single-game scoring record! ”
But the table that was excited was going to be smashed.
"I guess it's no problem to break Da Yao's record, it's just the beginning of the third quarter!!"
But don't ignore it at this time, Harden is already 35 points! And the Houstonians aren't far behind! ”
The camera was very naughty, and McHale was deliberately given a close-up.
Barkley on the commentary stage saw the sad face of McHale in the close-up, and immediately laughed: "Kevin would never have imagined that an inexplicable guy would suddenly jump out to fight with them...... I dare to say that there is absolutely no Xu Xuan's name on his tactical board beforehand! ”
"But it's definitely full by now." O'Neill added humorously.
"Oh my God, where the hell did this guy come from? Was God sent to torture me? McHale does think that way now.
He was aggrieved.
Harden didn't finish the third quarter and scored 35 points, which is good enough, right?
But in this case, they are actually the lagging side!
Playing at home, and the core players are playing so well, if the game is lost, he doesn't know where to throw this pot......
McHale's hair was bald......
Xu Xuan attacked twice, but because of the decline in physical fitness, he didn't score, and Lao Yu hurriedly called Xu Xuan to pause to recover blood.
Seeing Xu Xuan come back, little Tim handed over towels and handed Jiadele, looking like a standard dog, Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Not bad, for the sake of your diligence, breakfast for a month will be free......"
