58 to 72.

Although the Kickers came back in the second half and fought hard, the Devils withstood the pressure and finally got the season off to a flying start.

Xu Yong contributed a team-high 18 points, plus 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, and 4 of his 7 goals were dunks, showing his personal talent.

It's because this invitational tournament has limited attention, otherwise it would definitely make him appear on media websites and newspapers.

Of course, not getting attention from the outside world doesn't mean that you won't get the attention of our students.

In fact, when they left the stadium, there were a lot of fans waiting for them to come out at the door.

Harden and Xu Yong are naturally the center of attention.

Xu Yong saw that those Shanghai fans hadn't left yet, so he took the initiative to say hello again.

When he was in the stadium before, he had deliberately stayed to sign autographs and take photos with them.

After chatting with them, he turned to face the other fans, who were really "ball" fans.

At this time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and most of the people who were still waiting here were American female students who were [unclothed] and "broad-minded].

Xu Yong took a few looks with an appreciation for art.

The purpose of these people is very simple, which is to take a group photo and then leave a small note with a mobile phone number by the way, and then make a gesture of phone contact.

In fact, not only what I see now, but there are also many women in the cheerleading team who ask them out in various ways.

Basketball isn't the number one sport in the U.S., maybe not even the top three, but basketball players are the best investment.

Because in terms of average value, NBA players are the highest of all sports.

As long as they bet on the right treasure and get on the boat, even if they leave an illegitimate child, they will be able to worry about food and clothing in this life.

By the time Xu Yong and Harden left, they already had a lot of notes on their hands.

After walking a short distance, he saw a trash can on the side of the road, and Harden directly took out the notes and threw them in.

Xu Yong stuffed the notes into his pocket.

"You want to date them?" After seeing Xu Yong's actions, Harden asked curiously.

Of course, there was surprise in his eyes, even if Xu Yong wanted it, he was not afraid of being squeezed out.

Xu Yong shook his head.

For a person who has had more than a decade of regret and regained a chance, nothing is more important than making up for it.

Woman? It will only affect his practice.

"Then why didn't you?" Harden said and made a "throw" motion.

"After all, they were there to support us, so it's not appropriate to throw them in person." Xu Yong explained.

Harden was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously scratched his head.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yong asked curiously when he saw his movements.

"I remembered one of the things I did in high school." Harden said with a smile.

"Also related to the note?"

"Yes." Harden smiled and nodded, his face full of memories, "When I was twelve, there was a girl who wrote a note saying that he liked me, and I threw it away on the spot, and I thought it was over, but I didn't expect that girl to come to the court to find me. ”

"And then?" Xu Yong was very curious.

"Then I hit her with a ball."

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

He really didn't expect the legendary "Nightclub Deng" to have such a past.

But considering that eleven or twelve-year-old girls are not yet developed, it may indeed not be to Harden's taste.

"I just decided I wanted to play basketball because I was almost asked to change schools because of that, and I thought maybe it would have been different if I had thrown the note somewhere else." Harden also said with a smile.

Xu Yong smiled and nodded, not that he felt that what Harden said was right, but that he found common ground from the two.

At this time, they are only focused on basketball.

……

At 4:20 a.m., the vibrating alarm at the head of the bed rang on time, and Xu Yong stopped the alarm as soon as possible.

After a while, he sat up, dressed and shoes in the dim light, and went to the bathroom to close the door and wash up.

When he finished washing, he went out of the dormitory and went downstairs.

Tempe City is part of the Phoenix metro area and is adjacent to Phoenix City to the west.

Phoenix is also known as "Phoenix", where the temperature is perennial, especially in June, July, August and September, and the ground seems to be on fire.

However, in November, there is no winter cold, more of a cool feeling.

It's just that the sun rises slowly in winter, and the campus at this time is still pitch black except for the street lights.

Moreover, Arizona State University also has a characteristic of many plants, and successive presidents have loved to transplant greenery, making the campus look like a botanical garden, and the surrounding area is a bit of the eerie feeling of the backyard of "Liao Zhai".

Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to being here, or almost three years later, he has long been used to getting used to this point.

After taking a deep breath and feeling the natural breath around you, you started the first event of your training, a warm-up morning run.

Because of [injury immunity], he can ignore many potential risks.

For example, if the average person insists on getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning for more than two years, there is a high probability of sudden death;

For example, if you run on hard roads for a long time, your knees are also likely to wear out;

But fortunately, he is no longer an ordinary person.

It took him a while to realize this after he was reborn.

This sounds a bit incredible, but compared to rebirth, compared to the [Krypton Gold System], it doesn't seem to be much.

After accepting it, he then began to explore how to use it to improve his strength.

His talent is not bad in itself, and it can even be said that he stands out among his peers.

Otherwise, he would not have entered the Olympic training team at the age of 19, you must know that it was the strongest men's basketball team in 08.

But that wasn't enough, especially after playing in the U.S. for a year and really getting in touch with the level of basketball for American high school students.

His bounce and speed are his greatest strengths, but as a player over two meters tall, his coordination and flexibility are also excellent.

But that's about it.

His lack of core strength means that his first step when breaking through is not fast, especially against the American home front;

His shooting has always been his weakness, even before he got sick in his previous life, his outside shooting was less than 30%;

And his various little skills are basically still in their infancy.

So in general, if he hadn't been sick in his previous life, he would have had a good chance of entering the NBA through the draft in 2008~2010.

But it's hard to go one step further and even become an All-Star, because he's playing the NBA's most competitive swing guard.

However, all of this changed after he was reborn and chose [Immunity to Injuries].

He can ignore the risk of injury and train himself to the maximum.

When I was a student, there were cultural classes, and if I failed the prescribed cultural classes in American schools, my basketball career would be stopped, and there are many cases in history, such as Rodman, Garnett, Wade, Rose, and so on.

Therefore, in order to ensure cultural classes, others can only practice twice a day at most.

But he can practice three times a day, which is why he has to get up at four o'clock in the morning.

He couldn't train in class, and he couldn't ignore the muscle fatigue and the recovery time required from training, so he had to borrow time from the night.

It sounds easy, but it's actually challenging.

Although you won't get hurt, the difficulties you have to overcome are unimaginable.

When I wake up to an alarm clock at around four o'clock in the morning, the first thought that comes to my mind must be to give up, because it would be torture at all.

After insisting on three high-intensity exercises a day every day, even if you don't get hurt, your body will continue to use fatigue to push you to give up.

Even, many times the many accidents you encounter in life will interrupt your training plan, and the voice of giving up will also fill your mind.

What you can see is flowers and applause, and what you can't see is sweat and perseverance.

And the reason that made him persist in the end is just like what he thought when he talked to Harden: for a person who has had more than a decade of regret and got a chance again, what can't he hold onto?
