Chapter 267: Welcome Back to China, Xuanzi!
Indianapolis.
A two-story European-style villa, Xu Xuan has been renting here since he moved into Yincheng.
After returning from Cleveland, Xu Xuan did not go out again.
It's not something to hide in a corner and lick your own wounds.
The result of losing to the knights was regrettable, but it didn't reach the point of making Xu Xuan lick his wounds.
In this series, he did his best.
In this series, his teammates did their best.
Since he has tried his best, he is willing to accept any result.
It's just to avoid the limelight.
Now the Finals matchup has come out, but the NBA news still revolves around him.
Zhang Li came to Xu Xuan's house early this morning.
He was very worried about Xu Xuanxu.
After all, Xu Xuan's performance in this year's playoffs was too good.
In the entire 13 games of the playoffs, Xu Xuan averaged 37.7 points, 7.7 assists, and 6 rebounds per game.
Cut 30+ in 13 consecutive games!
5 of them are 40+ and 1 is 50+!
According to the United States today, it was one of the greatest individual performances in NBA history.
Before this year's playoffs, some American media are still trying to find ways to blacken Xu Xuan, a foreigner.
But now, even those people on the Internet who are extremely black about Xu Xuan can't find a reason now.
It's not moving!
Let's not talk about the future.
At least it's dark now!
Xu Xuan's performance in this year's playoffs really didn't have any black spots.
Those blacks are suffocating right now.
They were very uncomfortable, and they also wanted to see Xu Xuan's sad and sad appearance after being eliminated.
But when Lin Yun posted what Xu Xuan did every day on Facebook, everyone was shocked.
Run, practice, run, run, practice......
This is what Xu Xuan used to do every day.
After losing to the Knights, Xu Xuan was no different from usual.
"It's really strange, Xu Xuan is not sad at all?"
Zhang Li nodded with a strange expression, "It seems that this is indeed the case......
He has been staying near Xu Xuan's villa since he came to Polis yesterday, and found that he really did what he should do like no one.
On the sofa, sending away the strange-looking Zhang Lili, Xu Xuan closed his eyes and immersed his mind in his mind.
In an instant, a large bright screen appeared.
Xu Xuan: Male
Age: 20
Rating: 580
Possession of Talents:
Stephen Curry's three-point – Platinum
Aaron Iverson's breakthrough – gold
Russell Westbrook's body – platinum
Jason Williams' pass – Gold
......
"It seems that the further you go, the more difficult it will be to advance......" Xu Xuan's eyes were deep, but he was not in a hurry, this was his first year in the NBA, and the results were very brilliant in terms of progress.
It is true that people can ascend to the sky in one step, but Xu Xuan prefers this kind of step-by-step progress, which is even more gratifying.
"Two platinums, two gold...... Looking at it like this, there is not much room for improvement below! ”
Xu Xuan thought to himself.
It's good that there's room for improvement!
He's only 20 years old, and he doesn't want to be a second Brandon Jennings.
What he wants is not a flash in the pan, he wants long-term longevity!
......
With all the games out of the way, the Pacers went into a long break.
Xu Xuan stayed in Polis for three days, mainly because Larry Bird Sr. and Kevin Pritchard dragged him away.
This season is over, and next season is not far away.
What's more, judging from the performance of the Pacers this season, it is unrealistic to say that Big Bird and others have no thoughts about next season......
Can be introduced....... Just a second-round pick, do you still want to play with it?
Xu Xuan had a headache.
He feels that the main thing right now is not the draft, but the free agency.
For the Pacers, the draft is already difficult to quench their thirst, after all, they are a mid-ranked second-round pick, and if they want to rely on this second-round pick to pan for gold, even if he has the insight of his previous life, it must be difficult to climb to the sky.
Unless Larry Bird Sr. can magically trade Towns or the No. 1 pick, Xu Xuan thinks that instead of wasting time on this, it is better to spend more energy on the upcoming free market.
Xu Xuan lowered his head, holding the rookie tryout list given to him by Larry Bird.
The list is very long, and Xu Xuan even saw rookies such as Devin Booker and Myles Turner predicting the lotto area on this list.
"Huh?"
"These guys are funny? Don't know the Pacers don't have a first-round pick? ”
Xu Xuan was a little strange.
It's understandable that the rookies who are predicting the bottom of the rankings will come to the Pacers for tryouts, but what the hell are these rookies in the lottery area coming to tryout?
Old Larry Bird shook his head with a strange expression, "I heard that it was a star chaser....... Uh, they all seem to be your fans, Xu ......"
"What's that?"
"Star chasing?"
Xu Xuan's voice doubled.
"That's right...... I don't know if you noticed, but there is also an amazing person on the list, named Jahir Okafor...... He said he was coming to Indiana for a tryout, and he wanted to get your signature sneakers......"
Xu Xuan: "......"
Are all the teenagers like this now?
But the old man can't keep up with the pace of social development!
After being pestered by Larry Bird for a few days, Xu Xuan had no choice but to watch the finals while training in his spare time.
The Golden State Warriors swept the Houston Mosaics 4-0 and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Pacers 4-1, and the first two games of the Finals were tied 1-1.
The Warriors won the first game easily, and the Cavaliers won the second game dangerously.
If it weren't for Barnes' two consecutive turnovers to give the Cavaliers four free throws, the Warriors would have had a good chance to tie the score at 2-0....... God knows how much cold sweat broke out in Lao Zhan's heart when Curry threw that three-pointer in the last 0.2 seconds.
Because he remembered the man named Xu Xuan again......
The same three points are raining, the same unstoppable!
Xu Xuan didn't know that in distant Cleveland, there was an old man who thought of him like this......
On June 9, 2015, when the third game of the Warriors and Cavaliers series was about to begin, he took Lin Yun and Carson on the plane and embarked on the road home.
The first stop, the magic capital.
Because the travel time was not announced before, there was no fan pick-up at Modu International Airport, but a few fans accidentally found Xu Xuan and ran up to ask for autographs.
What Xu Xuan didn't expect was that as soon as he was about to ask Carson to contact the car, he saw a black and large Mercedes-Benz nanny car parked in the airport's pick-up waiting area.
Just when Xu Xuan was puzzled and curious, an unexpected person walked out of the car......
"How's it going, surprise?" Seeing Xu Xuan's surprised smile, Da Yao took a walk and hugged Xu Xuan in two steps, "Welcome back to China, Xuanzi!" ”
