This is the current development progress of all Xu Xiang's talents. Only one of the three talents was successfully integrated last night, and that is "Cousins' Footsteps Talent (Orange Legend)".

As we all know, Cousins ​​is able to stand out from so many centers in the league because of his nimble footwork and soft touch. Now although Xu Xiang has only won one of them, he has already made a lot of money.

One success, naturally two failures.

"Congratulations to the host for starting the mission: Self-breakthrough in the All-Star Game: Please win the MVP in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and reward a bottle of fatigue medicine for success, and all development degrees will drop by 5 points if you fail."

"Congratulations to the host for starting the mission: Self-breakthrough in the All-Star Game: Please win the MVP in the All-Star Game. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with a bottle of 3-point fatigue medicine. If you fail, all development degrees will drop by 10 points."

Two tasks in a row are all about the All-Star game. The first one is very simple, but the second one is more difficult. The MVP of the All-Star Game depends not only on yourself, but also on whether your teammates are alone, whether they are willing to play for you, but how can Xu Xiang have someone to help him with the ball?

Moreover, the reward for success is only "fatigue medicine", but for failure, 10 points of development progress will be deducted. Isn't this too unfair?

What is the reason?

Hey, by the way, what is this fatigue medicine?

Fatigue medicine: used when the host is exhausted, the host will return to its peak physical strength after use, the time is set, one point is 1 minute, please master the time of use.

But the task is very difficult, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to complete it.

After a short rest period, the Pacers ushered in their next opponent, the Detroit Pistons.

They are considered old rivals, and this is the third time they have played against each other since the start of the match. Both sides know each other well. When they first came up, Xu Xiang attacked like a storm and directly stopped the opponent. Xu Xiang scored 14 points in a single quarter!
The Motor City has had a good life recently, and the current ranking is just above the Pacers. You know, at the beginning, they were the second-to-last in the Eastern Conference, and now they are being chased back step by step.

In the second half, Xu Xiang only played the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, and then he came down, because the point difference had reached almost 20 points. No matter how you say it, let the others show their performance, clock in and get off work in the third quarter, the perfect rhythm.

114-109, the Pacers won the game. Although they were far behind, none of the Pistons gave up from top to bottom. If it wasn't for Xu Xiang's attack in the fourth quarter, it's hard to say whether it would be overturned.

Although they only won by 5 points, they won anyway. From the current point of view, every victory is hard-won and heavy.

Xu Xiang played 29 minutes and scored 28 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds.

On February 2, the Pacers ushered in the last opponent of their "five consecutive masters", the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Xu Xiang looked at the schedule. This was their last strong opponent before the All-Star Game, and the "three consecutive victories" he had just won might be lost.

Up to now, the current record of the Cavaliers has maintained the trend of "start low and go high". The beginning of the season was not very good, but with the passage of time, the cooperation between the Big Three has become more and more tacit, and with good cooperation, the record will naturally improve.

There is no need to say much about the grievances between the Pacers and the Cavaliers. To be precise, it is the grievances and hatred with James.For several years in a row, the two sides in the Eastern Conference Finals are each other. If you talk about understanding, there is a saying: Your enemy is the person who understands you best.

Although it is not appropriate to use it here, the meaning is very appropriate.

The game was deadlocked in the third quarter, and the Pacers held the lead from the start until now, yeah, you can't believe it, can you?It is the lead. Many people did not expect this result before the game. After all, the Big Three led by James are standing on the field, and in the previous match, the Cavaliers can be said to have won cleanly, but they did not expect that they are actually behind today.

James is angry.

In the preseason, after losing to the Pacers, James was brooding. Is he going to repeat the same mistakes today?

Do not!
He uttered a roar from the depths of his heart, directly activated his "killing god mode", moved back to the score and won the victory.

After the game, Xu Xiang only left one sentence to the media during the interview: The angry emperor is terrible!
Indeed, Xu Xiang really saw the emperor's demeanor this time. When he "fighted in", there was no one to stop him. He could only retreat, and he didn't have the courage to step forward.

What? N-step layup?
Big brother, don't worry about it so much, the referee didn't say anything, what are you BB?
113-103, the Cavaliers won very well.

徐向全场比赛出战35分钟，拿到26分2助攻1篮板的数据，对面的詹姆斯全场出战38分钟，拿到36分11篮板8助攻的数据，差一点点就是一个大号的“三双”奉上了。

On February 2th, the Pacers challenged the Hornets away. Relying on Xu Xiang's last mid-range buzzer, the Pacers won by one point 9 to 103. This is Xu Xiang's first true lore since the start of the regular season.

On the 10th, they played against the Spurs at home, and the Pacers were 92-95. The main reason is that the back-to-back schedule is a bit tiring. Now Xu Xiang is eager to get those two bottles of fatigue medicine, so that he will not worry about running out of energy at critical moments.

On the 12th, the Pacers traveled to New Orleans to challenge their last opponent before the All-Star Game, the Pelicans.

The thick eyebrow "Super God" scored 40+16 data and led the team to victory. Facing such a thick eyebrow is the same as facing a rampant James. You have nothing to do.

106-93.

In these three games, Xu Xiang averaged 20.4 points, 1.7 assists and 1.1 rebounds per game, not impressive but very stable.
