NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 208 Good news!good news!
"What's the matter?" Mallory came over with a plate of washed fruits.

Xu Xiang looked up, pointed to the apples on the plate, and motioned for Mallory to pass one over.

Mallory rolled his eyes, but handed it over anyway.

Xu Xiang caught the apple and bit his mouth, "My family just said that my uncle and grandma have recovered from their illness."

"Really?" Mallory said happily. Xu Xiang didn't have time to go back. He was planning to go back for Xu Xiang, but he recovered from his illness.

"Is it very lively at home now?" Mallory suddenly asked as if he had remembered something.

"Probably." Xu Xiang wasn't sure either. Judging from the time, this would be the first two days of the Chinese New Year. It should be very lively, but now it's not the same as before, and the flavor of the New Year is not so strong.

"Why don't we go back?" Mallory suggested.

"Go back?" Xu Xiang suddenly decided that this proposal was a good one. He took a look at the Pacers' schedule again, and put it down in distress after a long time. The next game of the Pacers is on the 21st, and today is the 17th. There are only 4 days, which is not enough at all, unless you come back when you get home, that is meaningless.

"Hey, you can fly directly to Philadelphia at that time. I won't come back with you when the time comes. Let's play at home for a while." Mallory still didn't give up.

Xu Xiang's eyes lit up, and then
"What, the plane is late?" Xu Xiang looked at the "big wave" white girl in front of him in disbelief.

The girl replied politely: "Yes, sir, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

"Then when will it be better?" Xu Xiang said impatiently.

"The specific situation is still unclear. It depends on when the snow will stop."

It was snowing heavily in Polis City today, and they both forgot to take this into account in their haste to get out.

"How do you say it?" Mallory asked anxiously after returning to the hall.

"The plane is late, and I don't know when it will take off normally." Xu Xiang said dejectedly, everything was counted but the weather was not counted, and the two of them were to blame. When they came, they saw heavy snow falling outside, but they were so busy going home that they didn't think about it at all.

The two looked at each other and could only sigh in vain.

Although he didn't go home, Xu Xiang still called home on New Year's Eve to say Happy New Year to his parents and relatives.

The days of rest always pass quickly. On February 2, the Pacers traveled to Philadelphia to challenge the 21ers. This was their first game after the All-Star break.

It was easy to win the game. Xu Xiang carried the posture of "Xinke All-Star MVP" and took the game away in a wave in the third quarter, 106 to 95.

Xu Xiang played 31 minutes and scored 27 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds.

Xu Xiang had a general look at the opponents in the remaining three games in February. The Warriors, Thunder, and Cavaliers were all "hard bones" that were not easy to chew on. Xu Xiang predicted that there would be another "three-game losing streak".

Xu Xiang averaged 21.6 points, 3.1 assists and 1.8 rebounds in three games.

The days in February were short, and with the delay of the All-Star Game for about 10 days, the Pacers played a total of 10 games, with 6 wins and 4 losses. Among them, the opponents were strong teams such as the Warriors and Cavaliers.

Such a record was unexpected before. Xu Xiang averaged 10 points, 23.06 assists and 1.88 rebounds in 1.95 games.

The time slowly enters March. According to the annual schedule, the regular season will end in the middle of April at most, so there is only one and a half months left.

The most important competitor for the Pacers to make the playoffs is the Nets. At present, the wins of both sides are the same, both are 24 wins, but the Pacers lost 2 games more than them, and the difference between the two sides is just one win.

A win is actually very easy to chase. Up to now, the Pacers have played 58 games, and there are 82 games left before the 24 games in the regular season. As long as they maintain 24 games and don't be opened up by the opponent, the Pacers are really hopeful to enter the playoffs this season.

Due to the intensive game schedule, the Pacers only played 15 games in March, an average of one game every two days, while the Grizzlies and Pelicans had fewer games in the previous schedule. During this period, the time suddenly increased. The Grizzlies will play 18 games this month. Tony Allen is already complaining about why there will be so many games in March. Xu Xiang just wanted to laugh.

In the 3 games in March, the Pacers were like a roller coaster. At the beginning of the month, they had a six-game winning streak. Maybe they won too much and started to drift, but then they had a six-game losing streak. They completely beat their "prototype" back. Fortunately, at the end of the month, they regained their rhythm and won two games in three games.

It is worth mentioning that there was a game against the Nets. Both sides knew that whoever won would have a huge impact on the form of entering the playoffs, so they fought very hard, and did not give up until the last moment. It is a pity that only Xu Xiang played brilliantly in the Pacers game, and the others started to fight again.

In the end, the Pacers lost to the Nets 111-123 and lost this crucial game.

It is equivalent to saying that since the start of the game, the Pacers have met the Nets twice and lost both. In this way, if there is an equal win at the end, the Nets will still win, and there is also a relationship between the two sides.

徐向在3月份的15场比赛里场均可以拿到24.3分1.7个助攻1.9个篮板，和二月份相比，明显的可以看出徐向的场均得分上升了一个档次，要不怎么会有开局的6连胜出现呢？
"How to say?" In the Pacers conference room, the coaching staff and all the players were sitting at this time.

The Pacers are now on the edge of a cliff. The Nets are now 33 wins and 39 losses after the game in March, while the Pacers are 32 wins and 41 losses.

"The situation is very serious, do you think we should give up?" Nate's eyes were sharp.

As the current "boss" of the team, Xu Xiang could only bite the bullet and stand up, saying: "Coach, I think we still have hope, as long as we work hard!"

Nate nodded slowly, "It's good to have confidence, I have some good news for you."

good news?Everyone is very puzzled, what good news can there be now?
