Chapter 257: The Troubles of Fame

Although Ye Xuan still has the idea of winning this game, the Pacers' combat effectiveness is a little too weak when facing this kind of team with more than two offensive strengths. On the one hand, it is because of the lack of pickled peppers, a strong offensive point, on the other hand, it is also because the decline in the state of Hibbert and West is too obvious, West, who could have averaged 15 points and 9 boards per game last season, can only average less than 10 points per game and less than 6 rebounds per game after returning from injury, which is unacceptable to the Pacers.

And Hibbert, the second-team player of the best defensive team last season, has also played very badly this season, with his data dropping directly from 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1.7 caps last season to 10 points, 7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks now.

Hibbert's contract this year is as high as $1,600, West's contract is also $1,200, plus Pickled Pepper's $1,600 is not able to play, the Pacers are now almost relying on a 3,000 salary soy sauce to fight against those 8,000+ salary teams in the league.

In this game, facing the interior combination of Griffin and Jordan Jr., the Pacers' interior line was blown up again, and Coach Frank watched the opponent's continuous aerial relay wreak havoc on his interior line, and there was also a nameless anger in his heart. But he actually knows the reason, West's dream was that championship, and now the championship is in hand, and Pickled Pepper is injured at this time, and there is no chance to defend the title this season, so it is inevitable that West will slack off.

And the problem on Hibbert's side is more that his own state fluctuates too much, when Hibbert is in good shape, he still has the strength of 20+10 in a game, but when he is not in good shape, he may only be able to score 5 points and 3 boards in a whole game, and even 0-0-0 He has played out, which gives people the feeling of being very unstable.

In the case that the two heroes on the inside were hammered by the opponent, the Pacers were quickly led by the opponent by double-digit points, although Ye Xuan's side wanted to win, but in the face of Paul's very inexplicable assist, Ye Xuan also seemed a little helpless, plus his physical fitness in this game was not particularly enough, so soon after the second half of the game, the Pacers directly replaced all the main forces and announced that they had given up the game.

After the whole game, Ye Xuan only played for more than 20 minutes, and the score was not on 20 points again, only 19 points and 6 assists, after three consecutive games like this, Ye Xuan's average points per game dropped instantly, and now his average score per game is less than 34 points, and the average assists per game have dropped from an average of 10.8 assists per game to only an average of 10.1 per game. The media in the outside world were also very unscrupulous, and they began to sing about Ye Xuan, saying that Ye Xuan was just a meteor, and he couldn't see a shadow in a minute.

But for Ye Xuan, he doesn't care what the media is saying now, because media covering you shows at least that you still have the value of reporting, and for Ye Xuan, since he gradually gained a foothold in the NBA this season, he found that his personal time has become less and less.

As long as there is no competition, there will be many companies that invite him to participate in the promotion of the products he endorses, and things like shooting advertisements are also endless, and as Ye Xuan's range of friends grows larger, from time to time, friends in other fields will invite him to attend the premiere of the movie together, or participate in some opening ceremonies and the like.

People who are not famous, except for work, spend most of their time at home as otaku, occasionally go out to get together with friends, or go out on a trip, and they already feel very fulfilled. But Ye Xuan now feels that he has been living too much recently. He has now begun to try to avoid these unnecessary activities, from enjoying the feeling of this spotlight at the beginning, to now wanting to hide far away, no one bothers him, Ye Xuan only took less than half a year.

And Ye Xuan also encountered a very strange thing this time, as the saying goes, "The poor stand on the cross street and play ten steel hooks, but they can't hook the flesh and blood of their relatives; Rich people play with knives, guns and sticks in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can't break up unrighteous guests. "Ye Xuan is now a rich man, but where did this person who didn't know where he came from, who claimed to be a good friend of his orphanage, came out and found himself?

Ye Xuan also felt very helpless about this kind of thing, after all, only he knew that this identity was a virtual identity, in fact, there was no such person as himself, so Ye Xuan was also very puzzled where such a thing as "childhood partner" came from.

And Ye Xuan can't say anything nonsense, or lose his temper and drive him away, after all, after becoming famous, everything you say and do needs to be very careful, and you need to think twice about what you say. Once it is known by others, the media will add oil and vinegar to your misinterpretation, take it out of context and tamper with it, then it will completely become another meaning, and it will be hated by others because of this, or offend someone or something.

For example, Ye Xuan said in an interview last season that his three-point shooting percentage should be ranked first in the league, but under the malicious play of unscrupulous media, it directly became Ye Xuan's claim that he was the strongest pitcher in the league, for which Ye Xuan was also caught by Bird and taught a lesson.

Later, Scott Pippen kept watching Ye Xuan's unhappy incident, and it was also because the media kept hyping that Ye Xuan was making rapid progress, and there was no one before or since, which made Pippen feel that Ye Xuan was not worthy of his name, so he kept targeting Ye Xuan during the interview. But for Ye Xuan, the most terrifying thing is those ubiquitous candid reporters, these guys are everywhere, once Ye Xuan changed clothes at his house, but because he didn't draw the curtains, the next day a photo of Ye Xuan with a mosaic appeared in the tabloids.

In the end, Ye Xuan had to put pressure on the tabloid through his lawyer to get the photo back, and then Ye Xuan had to install some cameras and other things outside his house in case any reporter sneaked into his house and took pictures of himself and Shen Wei snapping or something, after all, he didn't want to be Teacher Chen.
