Chapter 24: Advanced Again!
In the second preseason game with the Boston Celtics, Xu Xuan finally started!
Of course, this starting position was earned by Xu Xuan in a dignified manner, and it was definitely not mixed with any PY trading.
It feels good to start, and it's surprising that the Knicks, who were slaughtered by 20 points in the last game, actually won this game!
96-80, the Knicks are back!
"Fu Jiang, you are." Lao Yu smiled: "How about you continue to start in the next game?" See if you're the one God blessed. ”
"Maybe I'm just holding them back." Xu Xuan smiled and pointed at Smart on the Celtics' side.
The Knicks have a good atmosphere here, and of course they are in a good mood without a two-game losing streak, even if the preseason is just for fun.
On the 13th, the Knicks returned home to face the Toronto Raptors.
This was Xu Xuan's first home game, and he expected to be cheered enthusiastically by the home fans, but ...... Reality slapped him hard in the mouth.
"Come on! Demar! ”
"You're handsome!"
"I'm going to give you the monkey Kyle!"
“......”
Xu Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He poked Tim Hardaway Jr. in the shoulder next to him, "Dude, what's going on?" ”
Tim Hardaway Jr. seemed to be used to it, and he shrugged: "OK, man, you have to get used to this, even Carmelo is not the first choice of fans here!" ”
"Hehe, I'm here, beautiful beauties, do you want to discuss life together tonight?" Tim Hardaway Jr. was not ashamed, and although no one paid attention to him, he still made it to the edge of the audience with a dead face.
Xu Xuan covered his face with his hands, what kind of strange teammates and fans are these?
They actually went to support the away team in the home game, which is really outrageous for Nima.
It's so presumptuous for this group of fans!
Xu Xuan set a small goal for himself, in his "lifetime", he must correct this "crooked atmosphere" in Madison Garden Plaza!
Today, Xu Xuan returned to the bench again, and Lao Yu mentioned Langston to the starting lineup again.
Anyway, these young people in the team, Lao Yu is impartial and gives them a chance, and whoever can grasp the opportunity will be on whomever he wants.
From the current point of view, Xu Xuan should have a slight advantage, because this game was lost again......
When the game was over, Langston looked at Xu Xuan with a strange expression.
He didn't play badly in this game, and he got 12+4+4 when he played for more than 20 minutes, even better than Xu Xuan's, but he just couldn't win the game.
"And this kind of thing? Impossible, right? Langston muttered to himself.
No. 14 Knicks challenged the Philadelphia 76ers back-to-back away, Xu Xuan started, and the Knicks won!
No. 20 Knicks host Milwaukee Bucks, Langston starts, Knicks are slaughtered by 17 points!
No. 22 Knicks host Washington Wizards, Sean Larkin starts, and the Knicks are slaughtered by 15 points!
No. 24 Knicks challenged the Raptors away, Xu Xuan started, and the Knicks still won!
......
By the time the 7 preseason games were over, Xu Xuan himself was a little strange, and he seemed to have won all the games he started?
And Langston and Sean Larkin seem to have lost all the games they started?
Under the strange gaze of a crowd, little Tim Hardaway suddenly touched Xu Xuan with a pug Yang a few times, and Xu Xuan looked disgusted and went up with a big kick!
"Get out!"
He doesn't know what's going on, if you want to say that the different teams are not equal in strength, then how to explain the two battles between the Green Army and the Raptors?
"This system doesn't say that there are any lucky attributes, right? Is it a hidden talent? Xu Xuan was secretly curious......
After the preseason, Xu Xuan accepted an exclusive interview from a sports channel.
This interview has been scheduled a long time ago, although Xu Xuan is not from a serious basketball association, but when it comes to things at this level, he will naturally not be confused.
The two interviewers are Yu Jia and Zhang Lili.
"This is the first time Xu Xuan has been interviewed so formally?" Zhang Li stood up and poured Xu Xuan a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Xu Xuan politely stood up and thanked him.
"How's it going, are you still used to it in the NBA?" Yu Jia spread out the notebook in front of him and shook the tip of the pen.
"It's okay, I'm more able to adapt to the new environment." Xu Xuan took a sip of tea, his lips and teeth lingering: "This tea ......"
"Why, yes, I brought it from China, I can't get used to drinking that coffee, so it's good to take this sip." Zhang Li waved his hand.
"It's a nice place in New York, the spotlight is on, and you've experienced it during this time, right?" Yu Jia said with a smile beside him.
"There are pros and cons, it's true that the exposure rate is high, but in this kind of place, it is possible that a small mistake will be infinitely magnified." Xu Xuan nodded.
"Is there pressure?"
"Of course there is, but pressure is sometimes a motivator, and I'm more inclined to the latter."
"Did you think you'd be chosen? Or this place in New York? ”
"I've thought about it a little bit, but I don't dare to think about it too much."
"Can you adapt to the intensity of the NBA?"
"I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after two fights, it got a lot better."
“......”
The problems are relatively conventional, and the official will naturally not have any difficult problems.
However, when talking about whether he would play for the national team in the future, Xu Xuan didn't even blink, and agreed immediately, immediately, immediately!
After an interview, Zhang Li is also very satisfied with Xu Xuan, young but very cautious in speaking and doing things, very modest and polite, if he can really gain a foothold in the NBA, then there is no need to worry about who will be the successor of the national team after the United Arab Emirates.
Now that the national team is in a period of inactivity, it is definitely a good thing for the national team to have a young player like this in the NBA!
And what he didn't mention is that this year is definitely a bad year for the national team!
Didn't go to the World Cup!
Defeat in the Asian Championships!
And Xu Xuan's appearance just filled this gap.
Maybe Xu Xuan doesn't know that he has now become the life-saving straw in the hearts of domestic fans!
Thinking of this, Zhang Lili's expression is a little complicated, the men's basketball team has developed so far, and it actually depends on a person who came out of nowhere to save the world!
What about the people we cultivate ourselves?
What about our outstanding young people?
Where have they gone?
......
At the end of the preseason, Lao Yu took a day off, and from the 26th, he was going to come back to prepare for the regular season.
For Xu Xuan, there is no rest time now, he has to take advantage of this time to improve his ability, and if he can improve a little more before the regular season, it will help him a little more in the upcoming regular season.
Sweat like a pig!
Rest and train hard in the training gym and gym again and again.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations! Aaron Iverson's Breakthrough Advanced Silver! ”
"Congratulations! Jason Williams' pass goes to silver! ”
