NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 145 The Third Match

Tomorrow is the last back-to-back game. The Pacers challenged the Sacramento Kings. No surprise, after losing to the Trail Blazers yesterday, Xu Xiang guessed today's result. Back-to-back and away games, it is basically impossible to win in the current state.

Besides, in the game against the Trail Blazers yesterday, although the Pacers lost, Xu Xiang fought hard and exhausted a lot of energy. He didn't have time to rest and rushed to Sacramento non-stop. Because he had to travel and change hotels back and forth, he didn't sleep well all night.

Xu Xiang is like this, let alone the rest of the team?
The final result of the game was 89-101, and the Kings won by 12 points!
89 points are also the lowest score the Pacers have scored since the start of the season. Xu Xiang only played 20 minutes and scored 19 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound. Tauskas 30+12, everyone scored.

"Cousin" looked depressed from the audience, why weren't these people so powerful when I was on the stage?Once they are injured and stop fighting, they will be better than each other!
Xu Xiang shook his head. He didn't want to say much about the matter between Cousins ​​and the Kings. Cousins ​​was too emotional to play, and he would fight if he disagreed. Moreover, he firmly occupied more than half of the Kings' ball possession when he was on the court. Others didn't dare to compete with him. What if he was beaten?Who should I ask for reason?
After winning the game, the Kings players looked very excited. Their previous record was not very good. They lost to the Raptors in a row. The strong teams such as the Spurs finally found their hand after the "four-game losing streak" and won this game!
"The Pacers are in such a bad state, especially Scola and Hibbert, they played too softly," Teacher Wang complained.

Although we all know that the Pacers are back-to-back away games, they didn't expect to lose like this!

"Back-to-back does have some impact on the state, especially in terms of physical fitness. After such a toss back and forth, I will definitely not be energetic the next day."

Teacher Su explained.

"However, Xu Xiang's performance is still good. We can see that his shooting speed is limited by his physical strength and is already very slow, but he can get in!" Turning his head, Teacher Wang started to blow Xu Xiang again.

"Let's say, this game looks better as it progresses, especially after the All-Star Game. It's really bloody one game at a time. The intensity doesn't have to be worse than the playoffs." Teacher Su said.

"Speaking of All-Stars, this year's All-Star voting has already been set. It will be at 12:11 pm on December 2th, which is 12:12 am on December 3th in BJ's time. This time is not very friendly to some friends," Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Every year, the All-Star is a grand event in the NBA. I just don't know which masters will come up this year, and which veterans will go down.

"Hey, do you think Xu Xiang has a chance?" Teacher Su suddenly asked expectantly.

Teacher Wang thought for a while, smiled wryly and shook his head. If so, according to the number of votes, Xu Xiang must have a chance, and he may be the top voter, but the alliance will definitely have some restrictions, otherwise others will have no chance to play.

"I don't think the chance is great. Although there are not as many All-Stars in the East as there are in the West, but if you count them carefully, it seems that there are still a bit more. You see, there must be Irving, plus DeRozan, Wall, and Walker. There are already four. Xu Xiang's qualifications are too young. If it is next year, there must be hope." Teacher Wang finally said affirmatively.

Anyway, let's see when the time comes, it would be best if you can get in, and there is no loss if you don't get in.

During the handshake after the game, Xu Xiang specially went to hug Cousins. He personally likes his playing style. He has delicate skills at the basket, flexible feet, and a three-pointer, but he is too impulsive. He doesn’t need any strategy at all. Just send someone to harass him. You don’t need to do anything, the referee will invite him out.
"DeMarcus, I like your playing style very much. I hope you can recover as soon as possible. I really hope to play against you." Xu Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said.

This is indeed true. The king with Cousins ​​is different from the king without Cousins. In Xu Xiang's opinion, the king with Cousins ​​is better to win.
"Xu, thank you, I know you, your CIC is very good." Cousins ​​is still very cute when he is not losing his temper, "I am here to entertain you today, how about it?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while, shook his head and refused: "DeMarcus, your injury is still not healed, next time, I won't bother you this time, and we played three away games and now I just want to go back and have a good rest."

They are still hurting, how could they really accept the invitation to love them.

Cousins ​​looked at himself, and said with a gloomy face: "Okay, Xu, listen to you, wait for me to recover, and I will take you to the best "red light district" in Sacramento!"

Xu Xiang: "."

I thank you, but I don't need it!
After declining Cousins' invitation, Xu Xiang and the others returned to the hotel, packed up their things, and will go back later. The next game will be at the home court of the Pacers.

Xu Xiang sat on the plane and watched the rest of the Pacers' schedule in December. In late December, there was still a "three-in-a-row" plus "back-to-back". To be honest, there are two such games in a month. It is really tormented, and each time is very uncomfortable. Just like this time, the loss to the Trail Blazers was really good, but the loss to the Kings was completely out of shape.

In addition, the average age of the Pacers is relatively high. Except for Xu Xiang, none of the starting five is under 25 years old. The youngest CJ Miles is 27 years old this year, and Scola is already a 34-year-old veteran this year!
Calculated in this way, the comment age of the Pacers' starting five has reached 27.2 years old, and they are all "veterans" who are about to enter the end of their careers...

This kind of schedule is too much for Xu Xiang, let alone them?

Especially Hibbert, he seems to be dead now, he is listless, and it seems that a gust of wind can blow him away.

"Xu, I have some good news for you when I get home." At this time, the team's assistant came to Xu Xiang's side and said something.

"Good news? What good news?" Xu Xiang was puzzled. Is there any good news after the team loses?Why didn't Kevin beat you to death?

When Xu Xiang asked again, he laughed and said nothing. Xu Xiang could only suppress his curiosity and wait for the good news!
