Chapter 15: Back to Back, Battle Nets (Plus Update, Ask for Recommendation)
After a comfortable win over the Knicks, the Pacers won't have much time to rest as they continue to play the Brooklyn Nets on the road the next day. Although it was not far from New York, the tension and pressure of back-to-back still diluted the joy of the big win.
When it comes to the Nets, Chinese fans must be familiar with it, because Chinese player Yi Jianlian has played for the Nets for two seasons. In the 12-13 season, the Nets had a good season, and they had a lot of talent on their roster, with 49 wins in the regular season, ranking fourth in the East.
However, heading into the playoffs, they still lost against the Bulls, who were ranked lower than them and lacked major generals. In the midst of this bitter disappointing first-round loss, the Nets, who had been holding their heads high during the regular season, faced a serious problem — a lack of core, aggression and passion.
Against this backdrop, the Nets' blockbuster trades for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry could make a qualitative difference. Five years ago, a roster with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pearce, and Deron Williams at the core could easily beat the rest of the league, regardless of who else on the team was. All-Star center Brook Lopez makes the team look stronger on paper, and with such a starting lineup, the Nets' bench depth (Reggie Evans, Andre Blecher, Andrei Kirilenko, Jason Terry, Alan Anderson, etc.) is also slightly surprising.
Many people think that the Nets are one of the seeded teams in the East this season, but they didn't expect that veterans such as Garnett were hit by injuries at the beginning of the season, and the Nets' record was greatly affected.
Lying on the bed in the hotel, Ye Xuan began to check the harvest against the Knicks, "Congratulations to the host, completing the milestones 'Score more than 30 in a single game', 'Score more than 40 in a single game', and 'Score more than 25 points in a single quarter' to get a total of 45 days of survival time rewards, and now have a total of 97 days of survival time." ”
"Ding, congratulations to the master for setting a single-quarter personal scoring record in team history and rewarding 15 days of survival time. Now has a total of 112 days to survive. Ye Xuan watched the system coming, and thought at ease, he had earned a total of 60 days of survival points in this game, according to this progress, as long as he was not too lucky, and he didn't keep drawing all kinds of garbage talents or strange talents, his ability would be able to dominate the NBA at the end of this season, right?
Thinking that it wouldn't be long before he could dominate the basketball world, Ye Xuan was inexplicably excited, but after thinking about it, "That's not right." The system will definitely not do such a challenging thing, otherwise my predecessors would not have died in a mess, there must be some conspiracy in the middle, it seems that there will be some fixed survival days in the future in case of emergency, by the way, offseason. I was almost fooled, I didn't have a game to play after such a long offseason in the middle of the season, and if I didn't save enough time to survive, wouldn't I have to wait for death? ”
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan decided to save a little more survival time to prevent accidents, after all, compared with the speed of progress, Ye Xuan felt that his own life was more important. Thinking about it, Ye Xuan felt a wave of tiredness hit him, and he fell asleep with a tilt of his head.
Early the next morning, Ye Xuan was woken up by his crayon Xiaoxin's funny bell, "Weiwei, early in the morning, what's so urgent?" Ye Xuan saw that it was Shen Wei's phone, and quickly got up to answer it. Are you still sleeping, you suddenly broke out yesterday, and then in the post-game interview, you told your own life experience. Nowadays, many manufacturers feel that you have huge commercial value, and they are frantically contacting me, wanting to find you to endorse their products.
"Ye Zi heard it, this is a gift of money" Oh, endorsement things, you can sign a few niche products, my sneaker contract, car contract these valuable big contracts, you can accept their offers, but refuse all contracts over 1 year, unless they offer a price that I can't refuse, otherwise all long-term contracts will not be signed, because I am confident that I can still make great progress! ”
"Okay, then I'll talk to you according to the endorsement price of the top stars in the league right now? By the way, I received a contract from Spalding, a 2-year contract, 150W per year. There are no special advertising requirements, you just need to take a few makeup photos when necessary, and this contract is considered the top price in the league, do you think it has to be decided. ”
"Okay, Vivi, it's up to you to decide these little things, I trust you." After chatting for a while, and after teasing Shen Wei, Ye Xuan hung up the phone. "Now that the economic problem has been completely solved, and emotionally, I feel that the relationship with Weiwei is also getting closer, and life is really beautiful."
In the blink of an eye, coming to the Barclays Center Arena, this game was played back-to-back away games, so Reims, who was suspended from the last game, still did not appear in the squad.
At the beginning of the game, Hibbert jumped to the ball, Hill still handed the ball to Pickle Pepper after controlling the ball over half the court, Ye Xuan and David West, who were without the ball, made a no-ball block, and a slippery bottom line ran from the bottom left corner to the bottom right corner, George quickly passed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan confidently shot "hey" without being marked, helping the Pacers take the lead. The Nets' offense was disorganized, with Deron possessing the ball past half court and handing the ball to Joe Johnson, and then the whole team pulled away, and it was clear that the Nets' tactics were single.
Singles Joe is tall and has long arms, but the tonnage is not enough, and after trying to beat Ye Xuan on his back and failing, he has no choice but to pass the ball to Pierce, who is also an old and cunning person, and made a feint to shake the pickled pepper away and hit the shot.
Hibbert served the ball to Hill in the backfield, and after half time, Ye Xuan took the initiative to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, Joe Johnson immediately came over to defend. Ye Xuan asked David West for a block and then broke through, Pierce next to him hurried over to help defend, Ye Xuan seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, facing the basket, making a layup with his left hand, but his right hand secretly passed the ball to the pickled pepper who ran out of the vacancy, and the pickled pepper was not ambiguous, and the knife fell into the pocket for three points, 6:2.
In the next round, after Delon dribbled past half court, he didn't wait for the elderly teammates to fall into position, supported Hill's foothold, changed direction past Hill, and threw his hand before Hibbert had time to make up the defense, and the ball smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket, 6:4. Then, Hill dropped the ball to Hibbert, who was on the inside, and then the Pacers pulled away from Brook Lopez, first pressed Lopez with his back, and then hit a turnaround small hook, 8-4.
