NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 20 Losing, Mallory Arrives
After the game, everyone was a little unhappy, and Xu Xiang was also a little annoyed. He scored 29 points and 6 assists, and the team lost. What can he do?
Rodney Stucky came over and patted Xu Xiang on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, are you having fun tonight? I know a few girls from Orlando. They must be on time. Do you want to come together?" Hearing this, Xu Xiang was already furious, and now he was even more angry, but he suppressed his anger, and replied coldly: "I have something else to do, you can go by yourself."

After hearing this, Rodney could also see that Xu Xiang was unhappy, and after shrugging his shoulders, he walked away gracefully.

Donald Sloan walked up to Xu Xiang, looked in Rodney's direction, and said to Xu Xiang, "Don't worry about other things, as long as you play well, this is the summer league. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The important thing is that you show your strength." Xu Xiang nodded, "It's okay, Donald, I just don't understand why they didn't care, why did they come to play?" Then he asked doubtfully.

"Who knows, maybe they have too much time, who knows?" Donald shrugged and said noncommittally.

There are a total of five games today except for the just-concluded Indiana Pacers vs. Brooklyn Nets, followed by Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic vs. Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons vs. Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies vs. Oklahoma City Thunder.All ten teams participating in the summer league will play today.

Xu Xiang was also not on the court to watch the next game. This defeat made him feel a little frustrated, and he lost after all his hard work.

Just as Xu Xiang was on his way back to the hotel, he suddenly heard the electronically synthesized voice of the system in his mind appearing again: "Congratulations to the host, this time the host scored 33 points, 29 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steal in 1 minutes of playing. Congratulations to the host, this time I didn't get any items."

There was a black line on Xu Xiang's forehead, congratulations for not getting the item?Am I not going to lose my temper?

It took me a long time to understand that I have to win the game before I can get items or talents.If you lose, no matter how good your data is, you won't get anything.

Xu Xiang thought about it and it was fair, after all, if he lost, he had to ask others for a reward, which would be a bit too much.

Xu Xiang looked at the personal data in his mind again: Xu Xiang: male, Chinese player, 19 years old

Annual salary: 220 million US dollars

Well, yes, the salary can finally be seen, hey, how comfortable it is.

Next,
Status: Not bad (you scored 29 points today, the status is not bad!)

Hand feel: Average (You shot wildly in the game just now, but the efficiency is not very good.)
Consciousness: Average (I understand, you want to pass the ball, but you don't have any teammates!)
After Xu Xiang looked at it this time, he felt quite at ease, and his evaluation was fairly fair, and there was no chaos.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Xiang was ready to rest. The Pacers' next game was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, which was July 7, against the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics are the traditional giants of the NBA, and they are the first to create the more common "Big Three" tactics.

Just when Xu Xiang was about to catch up on a good night's sleep, a phone ringing suddenly came to mind.Not many people knew Xu Xiang's cell phone number, and it was at this time that Xu Xiang was already guessing.Sure enough, he picked up his phone and saw "Mallory Edens" displayed on the screen.

Before Xu Xiang had time to speak after pressing the answer button, he spoke first, "Xu, where are you? I'm at the Orlando airport now."

Hearing this, Xu Xiang didn't bother to catch up on sleep, he just jumped up, sat on the bed, and then replied: "Don't come, I'll just pick you up, wait for me, I'll be right there." After speaking, Xu Xiang only heard "En" from the opposite side, and then put on his shoes and went out as quickly as a thunderbolt.

Soon, under Xu Xiang's urging, the taxi driver drove all the way like Need for Speed. When he got to the airport, Xu Xiang looked at his watch. After 15 minutes, after paying the money, Xu Xiang gave the driver his thumbs up to show that he was very good.

After Xu Xiang left, the driver murmured unhappily: "What did you think? I just pointed the way like this. I thought there would be some kind of car chase. What happened? I took off my pants, so you just show me this?" The driver master was very dissatisfied, and vowed not to bring it again next time he encountered such a blah blah.

By the time Xu Xiang arrived at the airport, he had already seen a pretty woman standing there quietly.

Xu Xiang quietly walked behind her, blindfolded her suddenly, and said in an unfamiliar voice, "Hello, miss, now you have been kidnapped by me, and now you have two choices, one is to obey, and the other is to obey, please choose one."

"Oh, sir, maybe I can't make a choice, because my boyfriend has already come. Although he is a bit of a jerk, I still believe that he will not watch me being kidnapped." Mallory grabbed Xu Xiang's hand that covered her eyes, and said pretending to be very scared.

"That can't be done, miss, I'm a professional kidnapper, you have to choose one, otherwise I'll be rude." Xu Xiang still spoke in the voice of a kidnapper.

"Dear Mr. Kidnapper, please let me go. The poor little girl hasn't seen my boyfriend for a long time. At most, after meeting her boyfriend, then, and then whatever you want, okay?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiang couldn't pretend anymore, this little goblin can play this trick again.

Xu Xiang let go of his hand, and slowly pulled her body over. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, as if she was at your disposal, he couldn't take it anymore, and kissed her directly.

Passengers coming and going at the airport saw this scene and booed and took pictures. After a long time, the two separated.Xu Xiang stared affectionately at the girl in front of him, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Outside the airport, after getting rid of the group of spectators who were watching the fun, Xu Xiang felt that if he didn't leave, the security guards at the airport would come to expel him, because he surrounded him just now, and those who didn't know thought something happened!
They didn't choose to take a taxi back, and the two walked to the bus platform. Xu Xiang took Mallory's hand and asked, "Why did you come here suddenly without telling me, so that I can pick you up early." His tone was a bit dissatisfied.

Mallory raised his head, blinked his big innocent eyes and said cutely: "Oh, didn't I want to surprise you, didn't I plan to come here yesterday and go directly to the stadium to support you, but because things were delayed, I came here early today, but I still didn't make it."

Xu Xiang thought for a while, looked at her and said, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time because of your support." After saying this, he laughed.Even though people have come all the way to see you, why are you angry? You are obviously not happy, but you still pretend to be angry, what a beast!
Mallory didn't care about these things either, she was still concerned and asked: "How is it? Did you win the game? I didn't have time to watch it." When Xu Xiang was mentioned about the game, he felt a little lost for a moment, but he still forced a smile and said, "We lost, but it's okay, we will win back!"

By this time, Xu Xiang had already figured it out. The competition was really beyond his control. After all, his current strength was like this, and there was no way to change anything. So he cheered up and said to Mallory, "It happens that I haven't eaten yet. Let's go. Let me have something to eat first. Let me tell you. I heard that there is a very authentic Chinese restaurant nearby. I will take you to try Chinese food today."

　Brothers, there are votes of support in hand.
