NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 176 Blacksmith Substitution!

After losing to the Bucks, the Pacers' record became 15 wins and 19 losses!
It is even more difficult to re-squeeze into the top eight positions!
On December 12, the Pacers went to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers at home.

The Lakers are not in a good condition. Although Nao Ke can still play on the court, his efficiency is really too low. He set a record at the beginning of the season, with 24535 career shots, 11118 shots, and 13417 hits!
Successfully surpassed Havlicek and became the "first iron king" in NBA history!
This honor does not seem very honorable, but he didn't care too much about it. He is such a person. Even if the whole world is talking about him, he will still insist on his own way of playing.

Frank has not exchanged tactics with Xu Xiang alone for a long time, and everyone can see Frank's attitude.

Not very friendly!
But Xu Xiang doesn't care at all, I play my ball, as long as you let me play, I will do what I should do, as for the rest, I can't care so much, why do you love it!

"We've lost three games in a row!" Frank's tone was very bad. Just now Pritchard called to ask again, saying that the boss was already very dissatisfied.

"I don't want to go home with a 6-game losing streak. I guess you don't want to either. Take a good look at the remaining opponents. The Lakers are the only team that we can win steadily!"

The Pacers' next schedule, after beating the Lakers, will go to Utah to face the Jazz, and after the Jazz is the current No. [-] in the league: the Golden State Warriors!
Not to mention the Warriors, the Jazz are also a tough nut to crack, so if they can win in Los Angeles, even if they lose all the time, the record is not so ugly.

This is the second time the Pacers have played against the Lakers this season. They won the game under the leadership of Xu Xiang with 38 points in the last game.

It can be seen from the warm-up activities that today's chatting seems to be different!

The most notable difference is that you can't hear the sound of "Boom", "Boom" and "Boom", but the sound of "唰" and "唰". Don't you want to hit the iron today?Xu Xiang looked over there suspiciously.

Seeing Xu Xiang's gaze, he grinned, patted the ball and walked over: "How is it? Are you happy in Yincheng recently?" His tone was full of teasing, and he seemed to know Xu Xiang's current situation.

There was a black line on Xu Xiang's forehead. Why did it seem like everyone in the world knew that the Pacers were going to trade him?This is too unscientific, right?

"Happy, besides playing basketball, I still play basketball every day. It's a perfect life." Xu Xiang said calmly, not showing timidity at this time.

"I told you earlier, you didn't listen to the Lakers." Chatting glanced at Xu Xiang, shook his head and said.

Xu Xiang cursed in his heart, MMP, you won't retire after I go, what's the use of going?Xu Xiang remembered that Naka only retired in 2016, and it is still very early.

The game started quickly. With the jump ball from Hibbert and Jordan Hill, Hibbert used his height to push the ball back to the half court and won the first attack for the Pacers. On the jump ball, Hibbert has never lost to anyone!
The rest of the Pacers didn't feel very good in these few games, and Xu Xiang was a little tired, but the first attack was still handed over to Xu Xiang.

Chatter surrounded him with malicious intentions, and Wesley Johnson also came up at the same time.

The head coach of the Lakers, Byron Scott, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. The Pacers studied the whole night. Why did the Bucks win?It was because they constantly used two or three defenses to consume Xu Xiang's physical energy, so that he had no chance to make a move.

He used what he learned now, before the game, he arranged this tactic for the Lakers players.

Xu Xiang tried to move forward, and Wesley Johnson was still completely surrounded, but he was ready to pounce on him at any time. Although he was old, he still defended very hard. This will be meticulously watching Xu Xiang's dribbling rhythm.

Looking at the attack time, there was not much left, so Xu Xiang jumped straight away!
drop--

"Congratulations to the host, triggering the iron talent!"

boom!
The basketball comes out of the frame!

Missed the first attack!
The rebound was taken by Jordan Hill, and the Lakers launched a defensive fast break!
Chatter's footsteps are already very slow now, but after his teammates arrived, he followed up, and receiving a pass was a three-pointer!

Swish!
Chatting's first attack actually went in!
Still three points!

And Xu Xiang was looking at the system with black lines all over his head.

drop--

"Congratulations to the host, triggering the iron talent!"

boom!
In the first quarter, Xu Xiang passed the cut back and forth between these two voices, but the chatter on the opposite side was perfect today!No matter how he shot, his fadeaway jump shot was always a little bit off, but today was different, before the end of the first quarter, he had already scored in double figures!
"No way! Why does it feel like Kobe and Xu Xiang have changed today!"

"Agreed! Has Xu Xiang joined the blacksmithing brigade today?"

"Poor Xu, I'm going to lose again today!"

"Have you all heard? The Pacers want to trade Xu Xiang."

"There is an inside story upstairs? Tell me quickly."

"The news is not accurate, I also heard it from hearsay, ahem, don't take it seriously, let's talk, this Pangu opened the world"

After halftime, the Pacers were 45 to 60, 15 points behind!
In the second half, Xu Xiang finally got rid of that annoying system. As long as the iron talent is not triggered, Xu Xiang's shooting rate is still very impressive. Under the leadership of Xu Xiang's people in the next wave of 12-2, he won back 10 points and brought the point difference back to a level that can be chased.

But then, I don’t know what happened, Naga was extremely accurate today, as if dreaming back to 10 years ago, all kinds of unreasonable fadeaway jumpers once again widened the point difference to 10 points.

After he made his 7th free throw tonight and scored 50 points tonight, all the fans in the audience spontaneously stood up and cheered for their hero, shouting "MVP" and "MVP"!
It's really hard to guard against chattering with the "God Killing Mode" turned on, Xu Xiang looked at his hands bitterly, and he didn't give up until the end, but the score difference was too big.

With a score of 121-101, the Lakers won by 20 points!
唠嗑全场39投19中，三分8中4，罚球13中10，拿到52分2助攻3篮板的数据！
Chatting took off!
However, Xu Xiang's 29 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the whole game were overshadowed by today's chatter.
After the game, Nao Ke exchanged jerseys with Xu Xiang. Seeing Xu Xiang's loss, combined with the recent internal atmosphere of the Pacers, Nao Ke shook his head clearly and comforted: "You still have a long way to go, don't worry!"

"Take a long-term view, this is your rookie season, it's already perfect!"

"You will definitely have a place in the Hall of Fame in the future!"
