Chapter 367: Xuanyun Group
The All-Star break ended, and the Pacers got a big wave of retouching.
According to the schedule, there will be no races until the 21st, which is a rare holiday.
Xu Xuan didn't waste it, he first took Lin Yun out to play for a few days, and then devoted himself to training.
"By the way, Xu, let me introduce to you, this is a top student at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, a close disciple of Professor Christopher Avery, called Wei Mu, who will be in charge of all news, social networking, media and other things on our side in the future."
On this day, Carson came over with a young man in his early 20s, the young man was quite spirited, and the most important thing was that he was Chinese, like Xu Xuan.
"Brother Xu, hello."
The young man wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, was about 180 tall, and smiled shyly.
"Hello."
Xu Xuan wiped the sweat from his hands and shook his hand, "Don't be too nervous, our working environment is very relaxed, your usual work Carson told you, right?" ”
"It's all said."
The young man named Wei Mu nodded.
"That'll do."
Xu Xuan glanced at him, these logistics teams around him are growing stronger and stronger, before there was only Carson alone, and Xu Xuan's social media were also in charge of Lin Yun, but now Lin Yun has too many things to manage, what business investment, capital operation, group management......
That's right, Lin Yun has already set up a company and officially rang the bell to go public a few months ago...... Don't ask how it was done, Xu Xuan didn't know, he only knew that the world's top 500 company was about to be hollowed out by Lin Yun.
Starting from the sports industry, the company, called [Xuanyun Group], has been involved in catering, transportation, tertiary service industry and other aspects.
Even New Balance, which signed a contract with Xu Xuan, also cooperated with Xuanyun Group......
Xu Xuan found that if he continued like this, he wouldn't have to play ball to make money to support his family, so it was good to be a little white face with peace of mind......
......
Xu Xuan's side is calm, but it doesn't mean that the entire alliance is like this.
On the contrary, the post-All-Star break is arguably the busiest time for many teams in the league.
Because, the trading period is about to expire.
Unexpectedly, though, this year is a bit unusual......
Because in about 4 hours, there were only 10 transactions in the alliance, and most of these operations were just small transactions for sesame for mung beans.
Four words to describe - a desert.
However, when he saw a three-way transaction that happened to the Cavaliers, Xu Xuan was shocked.
The Cavaliers sent Anderson Vallejo and a 2018 top-10 first-round pick to Portland, Jarred Cunningham to Orlando for Channing Frye from the Magic, and the Trail Blazers sent a second-round pick to the Magic.
NBA veteran and famous "anti-aircraft gun" Channing Frye has gone to the Cavaliers!
Don't underestimate Frye.
With him on the bench, the Cavaliers have an extra strong offensive point.
Lao Zhantou's championship squad got a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Now there is only one Korver away from Lao Zhantou's ultimate lineup, if Korver is also on the Cavaliers this season, I'm afraid Xu Xuan will really have a headache.
......
All-Star Weekend has a different role in the eyes of the majority of fans.
That is: the star is dead and dead after the game.
In other words, that is: hurry up and sprint when it's time to sprint, it's time to work hard!
The Pacers have a good record of 31-23 and 28 games left, and as long as they win half of them, the playoffs should not be a big problem, of course, if you want to rush up the rankings, half is not enough, and 31 wins plus 14 wins are only 45 wins.
45 wins are estimated to be only in sixth or seventh place.
Therefore, if they want to gain home-court advantage in the playoffs, the Pacers should definitely not aim for such a low position as 45 wins.
......
Orlando in February is a mecca for a vacation compared to Indianapolis.
Polis is a bit like the central region of our country, with four seasons all year round, hot in summer and cold in winter, while Orlando is a bit similar to the south and south of our country and belongs to the subtropics.
Orlando is located in the middle of Florida, Florida is the only state in the United States that is not cold, its climate belongs to the subtropical humid climate, the temperature difference between winter and summer is small, very suitable for human habitation, the temperature in January is about 15 degrees, and the temperature in July is about 28 degrees.
February 21, Amway Centre.
I have to say, sometimes fate is really wonderful.
Especially now, Xu Xuan looked at the magic team No. 55 in front of him who was dejected and eager to turn himself into a transparent person.
Brandon Jennings.
The first "enemy" on the road of his life, uh, was also the most ruthless enemy he beaten......
Brandon looked down on Xu Xuan before, not even Xu Xuan, and in his rookie season, he even looked down on anyone including Griffin, Curry, Harden, DeRozan, etc.!
At that time, Jennings was the eldest, the second in heaven and the third in earth.......
Expect such a person who carved pride into his nostrils to look down on Xu Xuan who was in the last round of the show?
How can it be!
Thereupon...... He was out of luck.
Bad luck once, bad luck twice, bad luck three times......
It's ridiculous.
Jennings was unlucky enough to count, he hadn't finished the two seasons, and he had already met Xu Xuan 10 times!
Exactly 10 times!
Five times last season and five times this season.
Last season was because of Xu Xuan's transfer, and this season is because of his own transfer.
And!
The saddest thing is that this is not the end, the Pacers' game against the Magic is the third game, and there is another game in March.
In other words, in just two seasons, Jennings has to play 11 games with Xu Xuan...... That's more than three seasons of the Shangren's family.
Mage, I really want to die of grievances just thinking about it.
Bullies don't bring such bullies.
Xu Xuan was also surprised, if he remembered correctly, before the All-Star break, on February 6, he had just met the Pistons at home, and they lost that game.
Seeing Jennings looking like he was going to die, Xu Xuan shook his head, this young man's mentality is really bad, you obviously won me in the last game, why do you look like you were abused.
"Brandon, you don't want to see me so much?"
Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "You defeated me in the last game, come on, you can still do it this time." ”
Xu Xuan still admires Jennings, in addition to his personality problems, this guy still has strength.
Listening to Xu Xuan's words, Jennings trembled, and after a while, he raised a face that wanted to cry without tears: "What, can you stay away from me?" When I see you now, I feel bad......"
Xu Xuan touched his head, he didn't expect that he still had this ability, Jennings was scared by himself?
Mage!
Is Lao Tzu ugly?
Jennings was traded the other day, with the Magic trading Tobias Harris from the Pistons for Jennings and Ethan Ilyasova.
One for two, from the perspective of posterity, this deal, the Pistons earned.
After all, Jennings' value is here, and Ilyasova, this person's attributes are good, but they are also good, and they are not comparable to Harris at all.
You must know that Harris will be a 20+7 main and quasi-All-Star player in his later life.
The key is that he is young, Harris, who shot in 1992, is 3 years older than Xu Xuan, and he is only 24 years old, and he has an unlimited future.
The most important thing in the NBA is not superstars like Curry and Durant, but the most important thing is these promising supernovas.
Let's take an analogy.
The thick eyebrows of the 19-20 season are strong enough, right?
vaguely has the style of the first man in the West, and the limelight is bigger than the old man, but if you use him to trade for Doncic, or Tatum, or Zion Williams, you see whether the Mavericks, Celtics, and Pelicans can be exchanged.
Definitely not changing.
Your thick eyebrows are strong, and your combat effectiveness is off the charts at this stage, but you have already proven yourself, and your ability to lead the team is not good.
Even if you can lead the team to the playoffs, what can you do?
I'm young, I'm unlimited, I'm young and invincible!
That's what the teams value the most.
To be honest, Xu Xuan couldn't guess what the magic team meant.
If you say you're going to make the playoffs, the divisional finals, or even the finals, this deal makes sense, after all, trading a future supernova for two instant power, for now, this deal is not a loss.
But the problem is, after you're done trading, there's no movement.
It's not like losing a game that should be lost, and what should not be won is still not winning...... So why bother with this deal?
It's better to keep Harris in your hands and cultivate it slowly.
Xu Xuan looked weird, thinking about it like this, he felt a little that Detroit had planted some mole in Orlando, and that this deal could be made by people?
However, it's always good that people have ambitions, and after Frye and Harris, Jennings and Ilyasova came, purely from the point of view of combat effectiveness, not to mention improvement, at least there was no reduction.
Last season's old teammate CJ Watson is also with the Magic, and several people who knew him well went over to say hello.
Xu Xuan didn't.
CJ Watson didn't know him well when he was with the Pacers, and it's even less familiar now......
The game was pretty good.
It looks like the Magic really mean to make the playoffs, and their current record is 24-29.
Well, miserable is a little miserable, but it's not hopeless.
As long as they win 20 of their remaining 29 games, the chances of making the playoffs are still pretty good.
......
105 to 102.
Looking at the No. 23 jersey on the field, Jennings breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, it's his style, the last game was just an accident, he met me, how could he not win?
It's a shame to say that counting this one, Xu Xuan and Jennings have encountered a total of 10 times, Xu Xuan only lost one, and won the remaining 9 games......
To be honest, such a result is not as comfortable as letting Xu Xuanquan win.
Jennings is still a good person, and Xu Xuan even predicts that if he is willing to change himself, there will be no opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Honestly learn from JR, practice defense, practice three-point, what kind of organization do you learn? What to learn to control the ball?
A normal point guard, does he need to organize the ball and do these useless things?
Jennings: "??? ”
Is this talking about human words?
Of course, Xu Xuan estimated that he would not succeed if he used this set of rhetoric to persuade Jennings, that guy's nostrils were all up to his head, and it was impossible to listen to other people's opinions.
After the game, everyone on the Magic team looked a little bad, a group of young people should have been brainwashed by someone, I really thought they could make the playoffs, and now losing a game is like falling out of love.
The mental capacity is too poor.
After saying goodbye to Jennings, Xu Xuan and the others rushed to Miami non-stop.
With two resorts in a row, although it was back-to-back away games, the Pacers were in a good mood.
After all, compared to Polis, who blows cold winds every day, Miami and Orlando are too comfortable.
Compared to the Heat, the Magic team is more than a step stronger.
But they also have troubles.
At the All-Star Game, although Bosh was selected, he did not make it due to a calf strain, and this is not the worst, according to unreliable grapevines, Bosh has relapsed into an old illness, and the blood clot has affected his physical health.
But this news has not been officially confirmed by the Heat team and Bosh himself, so it is still impossible to count, and most people think that Bosh may have to rest for a while, but will come back when his body recovers.
But only Xu Xuan and Bosh's attending doctors knew that the old dragon king had said goodbye to the basketball court.
Fate is so tricky, obviously the most injured nag still hasn't finished half a season, and Bosh, who doesn't seem to have any big problems, is the first to leave the place he loves.
Wade's face was a little unpleasant.
In fact, the Heat team has played very well this season, with a record of 31 wins and 24 losses, only 1 win worse than the Pacers, but now that the old Dragon King is in a bad mood, the mood will definitely not be much better.
However, it is estimated that Da Baibian and others do not know about this matter, and the Heat team is estimated to be Wade.
Even Xu Xuan suspected that even their head coach, Coach Spoelstra, did not necessarily know that for Pat Riley, a stern teacher, Shuai had always been more fearful than reverent.
Of course, for the Heat, Wade, Bosh and other basketball old-timers like him, Xu Xuan has a lot of respect at all, but respect is respect, the Pacers and he now have only one goal-
Win!
Victory!
Judging from the current situation in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors are the first echelon and stand out.
Starting from the Pacers, to the Heat, Hornets, Hawks, and Celtics, the results of these teams are actually not much different.
And this scorching state is likely to continue until the last second of the regular season.
It's a very big and deep quagmire, and every game under the Pacers is very important to get out of this quagmire!
101 to 93.
Two consecutive wins away from home!
The Pacers' overall record also came to 33-23, once again widening the gap with the Heat and other teams.
