NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 124 The flames of war are rekindled
On November 11, the Pacers played against the Charlotte Hornets at home.

Leader Joe came to supervise the battle in person. After a fierce battle, the Hornets beat the Pacers 114-113 at home by one point.

In this game, the Hornets completely opened up. With the new "Queen Bee" Kemba Walker, they completely smashed the Pacers' defense. If it wasn't for Xu Xiang's brave performance in the fourth quarter, they would have been taken away by the opponent. Even so, they lost the game by one point in the end.

只能说对面这场发挥的太好了，肯巴沃克这个家伙上个赛季只有17.7分6.1个助攻4.2个篮板和39.3%的投篮命中率以及33.3的三分命中率，但是这场他根本就没按剧本走，直接狂砍了42分5助攻6篮板，刷新了自己职业生涯当场得分纪录。

Not only him, but Lance Stephenson, the "wicked man" on the opposite side, also exploded against his former owner today, scoring a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds.

I have to say that this guy is really annoying. Even if Xu Xiang is equipped with "King of Hey", it's useless. This guy's all kinds of messy little moves, sometimes pushing you, sometimes touching you, and blowing into your ears from time to time, everything looks so beautiful!
what!Pooh!
is not good!

Moreover, his defense is too tough, and he can't get around the pick-and-roll, and he just knocks him down in one go. He doesn't care about "old teammates" and other issues, and he will do you if he says it!

Of course, the price for this was that he was booed by the audience for 5 fouls.
Xu Xiang was really disgusted by him this time, he is not afraid, he is afraid of this kind of direct hands, what do you think can be done?
At the end of the game, Xu Xiang scored 25 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds, but he still couldn't change the ending
After the game, Hibbert was the host and invited the "leader" to have a meal. Although he made a lot of small moves towards Xu Xiang today, the stadium is the stadium, so Xu Xiang didn't pursue it too much. They are all old men. Although he is a "very annoying old man", his gender has not changed in the final analysis.
After eating and drinking, Lance said that if he knew Xu Xianglai, then he would not leave the Pacers, and Charlotte is not having a very happy life now.

Xu Xiang secretly despised him, you won't leave if you say you won't?Is the team run by your family?

On the 23rd, the Pacers were still at home against the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns are located in Phoenix, Arizona, which is a famous desert area. The sunset scenery here is very beautiful, attracting a large number of people to come here to watch the sunset every year.

Recently, Goran Dragic, the main player of the Suns, has been deeply involved in the rumors of the trade. The Suns have always played in a small ball style, and their tactical thinking is fast, accurate, and small.

Fast movement speed, accurate outside shooting, small and flexible grid, this is what they have been pursuing, but once they encounter a team with strong internal strength, they will be blinded, and they can only let the other team toss the inside and give them what they want.

Last season, they achieved ninth place in the Western Conference with Dragic and Bledsoe as a double guard. Although they missed the playoffs, the management and coaching staff have tasted the sweetness.

Since both point guards are so good, how about adding one?Will it make it to the playoffs?
So they sent a special case worth $720 million at the beginning of this season and the signing rights of Alex Oriaci, the 2013th pick in 57, and traded from the Kings for restricted free agent Isiah Thomas in a sign-and-trade.

"175"'s new contract is 4 million US dollars for four years. There is nothing wrong with this deal. If "2700" will perform in Lukai in the future, it must be profitable, but it is hard to say now.

When "175" came, Hornacek was happy. He finally realized his dream of playing "three point guards", but some people were not happy, and that was Dragic.

The team wanted him to switch to off-ball tactics, but how could Dragic be willing?In that case, his stats would definitely drop drastically, and he didn't want to.
Now it's all right, the coach's tactics and the players are unwilling to implement them, what should I do?

We can only choose one of the two. Although there is no trade yet, various rumors are flying all over the sky. The media predicts that the most likely to sign Dragic is the Miami Heat, because they lack a stable point guard. Norris Cole still cannot meet the satisfaction of the Heat's top management.

Blindly pursuing "superficial strength", the final consequence is that I lost to my grandma's house and failed to make the playoffs.
Due to affection, Hornacek did not really implement the "three point guard" tactic in this game, but let Dragic play the point guard and put Thomas Jr. on the bench.

However, such a situation is precisely the most deadly. If Hornacek enforces the "three point guard tactics", it means that there is still discussion between them, but if this is the case, it means that there is really no room for them. Dragic is now just to keep the situation from looking so stiff.
The final result was that the Suns defeated the Pacers by a big score of 121-108. Xu Xiang had no choice. When he was off the court, Thomas Jr. came up on the opposite side. Donald Sloan, who came off the bench, was "indiscriminately bombarded". Sloan could only resist for a while before he fell completely, first double kill!
Then triple kill!

quadruple kill!

penta kill!

Finally, directly type "GG" on the public screen!
Xu Xiang's state in this game is still unabated, and he scored 23 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds. It seems that there is no problem.

On the 25th, the Pacers, who have completed the "four consecutive kneeling" achievement, went to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

Before the game, Frank had already stated that this game must not be lost, and if he loses, all of them will be "beheaded"!
Therefore, everyone in the Pacers cheered up, actively fought, and defended desperately. Xu Xiang scored 24 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds, and also rarely committed 3 fouls. However.
The final result is that the Pacers "kneel five times in a row"!
perfect!

Because the next game is still in the West, the Pacers didn't go back to Indiana. Instead, they found a nearby hotel to stay and rushed to the next place tomorrow.

In the case of Wu Lian kneeling, it is definitely impossible to have any good mood, and everyone is not in the mood to go out to play. Although Frank said before the game that he would "behead his head" if he lost, everyone knew that was an angry statement.

Xu Xiang was lying on the bed, and there was still a meeting in the next room, and the participants were all members of the Pacers except Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang is the only one who doesn't have to attend the meeting, um, it's something to be proud of!

Lying on the bed, Xu Xiang couldn't sleep either, he was thinking about his opponent in the next match.

Sighing slowly, Xu Xiang slowly fell asleep,
Hey, that's where the dream begins.
