Chapter 148: Best of the First Week! (4K chapters ask for subscription!) )

The Pacers have won eight in a row, and this time it was a triumphant return, of course.

There were smiles on everyone's faces, including head coach Frank Vogel.

He was chatting with Nate McMillan, the head assistant next to him.

From 8 consecutive defeats to 4 consecutive wins, fate played a joke on them.

The Pacers' record has now changed to 11-17.

In the East, this record has the potential to make the playoffs.

It's almost Christmas War, and the Pacers have one home game left on Christmas.

The opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans, the upstarts in the West this year.

What Vogel is discussing with McMillan is the team's current situation.

"What? Best of the week? ”

As soon as the plane landed, Xu Xuan received a piece of good news before he arrived home!

The best of the week in the East was actually given to him!

This is the first time in his life that he has won the honor of the best of the week!

And don't underestimate the best of the week, because with the ups and downs of form, even James and others can't guarantee that they will be eligible to compete every time!

"Huh?"

"Are you sure you read that right?"

"Look at your sister, the official announcement of the People's Alliance, how could I be wrong"

"Fake, he can win the best of the week, why can't the sow go up the tree?"

Smart's agent glanced at him speechlessly, the best of the week was won by hard power this time!

First of all, the Pacers won all four games!

A very important point to measure the Player of the Week is to look at the team's record during that period.

The second is the stats of the core players.

Xu Xuan's past four games have scored more than 30 points in a single game, and one of them has exceeded 40!

Playing an average of 34.5 minutes per game, he can get 28.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.7 rebounds!

Shoot 52% from the field and 47% from three-point range!

With this data, Xu Xuan defeated Al Horford of the Hawks to win the honor of the week!

Horford has won all three of his last three games, averaging 18.3 points, 5.0 assists, and 6.7 steals per game, which is slightly inferior to Xu Xuan.

"What do you say?"

"28.2 points per game?"

"This is Nima, what kind of immortal descended to earth, no wonder the Pacers can get 4 consecutive wins"

When he arrived at a new team, Xu Xuan not only did not have stage fright, but ushered in a wave of explosions!

Previously, when he was with the Knicks, Xu Xuan averaged only 14 points, 5 assists, and 2.1 rebounds per game.

The score has risen a lot, and the assists have decreased a little bit due to the change to the second position, but overall, this data is undoubtedly enough to brighten everyone's eyes!

Especially Zen masters!

The Knicks have been getting tougher lately, and Dolan has even been a little decadent about side-knocking the team's tactics to change......

Change?

Where is it going?

What does the Zen master know about Dolan, swing rotten?

Hum!

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not be supposed!

The Zen master thought proudly.

......

Xu Xuan was a little stunned by this sudden surprise.

He hadn't really thought about the best thing of the week.

"This should be my first honor in the NBA, right?"

Xu Xuan touched his brain, the weight of the best week is not light, if he can get a few times in a season, it will be worth the trip.

On the east side is Xu Xuan, and on the west side is Ade, who won all 4 games, averaging 26.3 points, 1.3 assists, and 14.3 rebounds per game......

Raw no!

In addition to the best of the week, the league also released the latest team power rankings.

The top five are the Warriors, Cavaliers, Spurs, Hawks, and Clippers.

The Hawks finished in the top five, while the Bulls finished sixth.

The Warriors' position is unshakable, and as of now, the record is 22-3 and ranks first in the league!

And the Cavaliers are purely looking at the face of Lao Zhan and the lineup, with a record of only 16 wins and 10 losses, which is far worse than the Warriors.

The Pacers are outside the top 10, and even with a four-game winning streak, those pundits don't think the Pacers have any hope of making the playoffs this season.

"By the way, how many All-Star votes do I have?"

Xu Xuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Carson next to him.

It's not been a few days since the end of the first round of voting for the All-Stars, and Xu Xuan hasn't paid attention to this matter, and it's rare to have free time today.

"......" Carson's face was a little strange, as if he didn't know what to say.

"How? If you have something to say......"

"More than 1 million ......"

"What?"

"More than 1 million!"

More than 1 million?

Xu Xuan glanced at him in surprise, he now has more than 1 million votes?

It's only the first round yet, right?

What's going on?

"Carson, did you spend your money?"

Xu Xuan glanced at him in surprise.

This number of votes is enough to catch up with the total number of votes in the last three rounds, right?

"I didn't do anything, I can only say that your fans are amazing!"

Carson told Xu Xuan that on the second day of the All-Star voting, Xu Xuan's total votes exceeded 200,000!

In the future, it was even more out of control, and it couldn't be stopped......

"So, I'm still in the All-Star Game this year?"

Xu Xuan said with a strange face.

What's wrong with this, it's all unexpected, and it's all good!

No one will say no to an All-Star!

"If you hadn't been injured, the All-Star wouldn't have run......"

"And that's not all!"

Carson nodded, and continued: "At present, LeBron's votes are just over 500,000, and Curry in Western Golden State has not more than LeBron......

"That is to say......"

"That's right!"

"You might still be the All-Star ticket winner!!"

Well?

Ticket King?

It's really a surprise and a wave, and the good things are endless!

......

On the 23rd, the Knicks host the New Orleans Pelicans.

Anthony Davis, the Pelicans' star "Brother Thick Eyebrows", now looks at Xu Xuan with jealousy in his eyes.

He's the champion, he's the league's upstart, he's the league's future successor, but his All-Star votes aren't even half of Xu Xuan's......

"It's not fair!"

The Coalition shouldn't vote that!

There are so many of them that there are too many to count.

And they are very united, they all support Xu Xuan and vote for Xu Xuan, how can these other people compete?

Can't compete!

What else?

I can only blame myself for being bad!

"Davis, Xu Xuan is the strongest rookie of the year"

"I know, so what?"

"He's better than Andrew, and you're ...... too"

"Huh! Champions are also different! Andrew, what's that waste? I'm the real champion! ”

Thick eyebrows decided to teach Xu Xuan a lesson!

A lesson to remember for a lifetime!

In front of the future successor of the alliance, you have to coil the dragon, and you have to lie down if it is the tiger!

What about high All-Star votes?

Lao Tzu's votes are lower than yours, and he will still blow you up!

......

"The race is on"

"Let's take a look at the starters on both sides. On the Pacers' side, Hill and Xu Xuan on the outside, Copeland and West on the front, Hibbert seems to be cured and serves as the starting center"

"On the Pelicans' side, Jrue Holiday and Tyrek Evans on the outside, Luke Babbitt and Anthony Davis on the front, and Omir Asik on the center."

Tyrek Evans?

The man of the year of the 09th session!

This guy is very bullish), and he won the best rookie of the year under the watchful eyes of werewolves such as Curry and Harden!

Not only that, but he averaged 20.1 points per game, ranked fifth in rebounds, second in assists and second in steals.

In addition, Evans is also the fourth player in history to average 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in his rookie season!

Therefore, he is evaluated as a talent who only comes out of the NBA once in a decade, and his physical talent is bursting, and he can even play all the way from point guard to small forward.

The 09th session was a big year for point guards, and after the preseason game, the league at that time rated a top ten point guards, and there is no doubt that Evans is the first!

The second place is James Harden, which is also well deserved, Harden has performed extremely well in the summer league and preseason, but he has not been lucky, and the place in the team is filled, and he cannot start.

Curry was third, averaging 19.6 points per game in the preseason.

Fourth place went to Jennings, fifth to Johnny Flynn, and sixth to Rubio...... A rookie who was drafted and may have to play in Europe for two or three years before his contract expires is still ranked sixth.

The main thing is that his fame is too great.

......

But such a character never expected to be a rookie, that is, a player at the peak.

The first season was 20+5+5, and in the following seasons, the statistics were declining every season......

Last year, the New Orleans Pelicans reached a three-way trade deal with the Kings and Trail Blazers, and the Pelicans sent Graves Vasquez and Robin Lopez to get Tyrek Evans through a sign-and-trade deal.

He immediately signed a four-year contract with a total amount of $43.98 million.

Even if he is a rookie at his peak, Pelicans management believes that Terek is worth the price of a quality role player.

Xu Xuan looked at the opponent in front of him, and Evans was also looking at him.

With Xu Xuan's past data and performance in mind, Evans suddenly felt that Xu Xuan was a bit similar to himself.

The rookie seasons were all so good, so eye-catching.

Compared with the turmoil he stirred up in his rookie season, Xu Xuan is not much less.

But...... Will you be the second me?

Or don't......

You should go your own way, go out of a different way, let me see, let me learn, what was wrong in the first place, what went wrong......

At the end of the jump ball, Hibbert, who returned from illness, failed to jump over "Butter Hand" Asik, and the Pelicans got the offensive rights of the first offense.

Jrue Holiday takes the ball across half court.

Brother Thick Eyebrows stepped forward to cover, and after the cover, he went straight to the heart of the walker!

The Holiday didn't get the ball!

Thick eyebrows jumped up in the air, held down the basketball and directly slammed it with one hand!

"Hohoo!"

The first attack was so bloody!

The thick eyebrows are not flexible, and when West wants to turn to stop it, it is too late, people have already taken off, and at that height, West can't reach it!

Hibbert sends in the baseline and Hill advances on the left.

Evans is focused on defending, and he's rarely taken this seriously, with the exception of today!

"The first attack of the Pacers is handed over to Xu Xuan"

"This young man doesn't seem to have let them down"

"Whenever the team can't find the finish, the ball gets to him"

The ball went around in the hands of Hibbert and West and others on the inside, and it was still given to Xu Xuan.

The Pelicans' interior Asik defense was pretty good, and Hibbert didn't find much of a chance after two tops.

Xu Xuan protected the ball from the outside, staring at Evans in front of him with his eyes.

"How? Is it a shot or a break? ”

Evans had an idea, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Walkers and others pull away, one-on-one singles on the left!

"Breakthrough?"

Xu Xuan chooses to break through!

When Xu Xuan's shoulders sank, Evans immediately moved......

Blocked!

Evans predicted the timing of Xu Xuan's breakthrough!

But Xu Xuan didn't panic, took a step back to the three-point line, and made a gesture to shoot while retreating.

"That's what you're really for!"

Evans pounced!

He's always kept his hand!

Xu Xuan's fake breakthrough and retreat three points he has already seen in the video!

If you've seen it, don't try to hide it from me again!

Bang Dang!

"Evans interfered with Xu Xuan's shot! The retreat step is invalid! ”

"Whose rebound?"

"Roy got the rebound and passed to the outside again, Xu Xuan made a second shot!"

Bang!

Pregnant!

Xu Xuan scored three points for the second time!

0 to 3!

"It's not easy!"

"After being interfered with by a goal, I was able to stabilize my mentality and continue to throw the ball in"

"Confidence has been thrown!"

Assertive!

It's a very rare thing!

Like Kobe, he is an extremely confident person!

Even if he hits the iron 100 times, he dares to continue to throw the 101st ball, of course Xu Xuan does not have the mentality like him, but after coming to the Pacers, Xu Xuan's self-confidence has also grown a lot.

Offensive and defensive transitions.

After Zhu Holiday pushed through the half, he saw Evans leaning on Xu Xuan to ask for the ball.

Evans is the second point of offense with the Pelicans, behind Bushy Eyebrow.

Holiday thought about it and passed the ball over.

Xu Xuan defended.

Do you want to hit the ball?

Xu Xuan was a little confused about what he meant.

Breakthrough!

Evans also chose to break through first!

Xu Xuan hurriedly followed, his defense was sparse, but he was still positive.

"Huh?"

"Evans also chose to retreat? I thought he was going to keep rushing in! ”

And that's not all!

While retreating, Evans also made a move to block and dismantle.

The thick eyebrows were immediately pulled out, blocking Xu Xuan's right side.

Evans is accelerating from the same line again to inside the three-point line!

West is right to follow, and his defensive awareness is good, but the speed is too slow!

Xu Xuan was blocked, Evans had no worries, accelerated with all his might, and rushed to the three-point line before West switched defenses, and hit the basket straight after passing West with a change of direction!

"Huh!"

Evans grabbed the ball and threw it to the basket as he went, but Hibbert couldn't react and watched as the ball fell into the frame.

The two players on the inside move too slowly!

But...... You can solve the problem of this hard prolapse, and you still want to call it a block?

What does it mean?

Bullying people, right?

Seeing the smile on the thick eyebrows' face, Xu Xuan was a burst of fire!

Damn, they bully people!

can add blockage to Xu Xuan, of course the thick eyebrows are happy.
