NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 22 Summer League Ends
The Pacers didn't have a game today, so Xu Xiang didn't pay attention to today's game after watching the results of yesterday's game.

In the evening, Xu Xiang accompanied Mallory for a stroll around the nearby places. After the two confirmed their relationship, they were obviously much closer than before. The two walked the streets of the city while eating the snacks they bought on the roadside.The neon lights and billboards on both sides of the road are flickering, and the vehicles are constantly flowing.

On the third day of the Orlando Summer League, the first game today is the Pacers vs. Celtics.Mallory also came to the stadium to watch the game today. With the support of his girlfriend, Xu Xiang easily scored 28 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in the game, helping the team beat the Celtics 106-77.

All the players of the Celtics today are not very good. The rookie Marcus Mart, which has been hoped this year, still maintains the play in the previous game. He scored 15 points and 3 assists in 11 shots, crazy, plus the two games in Xu Xiangxiang's two games, and it seemed worse under the comparison. Therefore, he was criticized by the media. On the rookie list, Xu Xiang has ranked fifth after two games and is considered the biggest bead of this year's draft.

After winning a game, it was obvious that the teammates were in a much better mood than last time. After the two games, the other Pacers players were a little bit dissatisfied with Xu Xiang, but now they have no such thoughts at all, because they feel the gap.

Even the Celtics' second-year player Olynik, who played well in the past two days, was overshadowed by Xu Xiang, let alone them?

When the outside media saw Xu Xiang's performance so well, they started a new round of flattery. They said that Xu Xiang should be this year's No. 2014 pick.

After the game, Xu Xiang didn't go back to the hotel this time, but watched the rest of the game with Mallory after taking a shower.After the Pacers won the Celtics, it was the Orlando Magic who played against the Houston Rockets. In this game, Elfrid Payton of the Magic was full of presence. Not only did he shoot a shot, but he was also able to attack the Rockets' defense with continuous breakthroughs and passes.In the second half of the game, the Rockets tried to counterattack, but the other Magic players did not give the Rockets too many opportunities, and finally maintained an 54-point lead until the end, and the score was fixed at 31-18.Among them, Elfrid Payton scored 85 points, 69 assists and 12 rebounds, almost a triple-double, and the most important thing is his offensive efficiency, 9 of 8 shots, 5% shooting rate, this is terrible.

Next is the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Brooklyn Nets. This time, Plumlee, who played well for the Nets, did not continue the touch of the previous game, and only scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, while Jerry Millam of the opposite Thunder played well, scoring 26 points and 8 rebounds. If Xu Xiang was not there, he should be the player with the highest score today.

After watching the game, Xu Xiang and Mallory went back to their place of residence. On the way, Xu Xiang looked at the system in his mind, but he didn't get anything. Xu Xiang had to lament that his luck was really bad.

Across the ocean.

domestic.

Several platforms capable of broadcasting games have been booming during this period. Xu Xiang scored more than 25 points in two consecutive games in three days, completely overshadowing the light of other rookies in this year. It seems that several famous basketball commentators have been watching from the beginning and now supporting them. They all said that if Xu Xiang can maintain this level, then he will become the new hope of Chinese basketball.

This is especially true for ordinary fans, because there are no Chinese in the NBA now, and Xu Xiang's joining has filled this vacancy, and has naturally become the idol of many Chinese fans.

Many people who were just watching the game for fun joined Xu Xiang's fan group one after another, causing the number of Xu Xiang's fan group to skyrocket several times in a few days, and it became the talk of many teenagers after dinner.

Zhang Yang, a veteran reporter of Shanghai Sports News, not only reports on the CBA, but also reports on UEFA and the NBA.Originally, he planned to go to Cleveland in the next few days, because there are rumors that James is going home, so the editor-in-chief of the newspaper asked him to rush to Cleveland as soon as possible to get the first-hand information, but before he left, he was delayed by something.

"Orlando? Editor-in-chief, am I not going to Cleveland?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise looking at the itinerary that the editor-in-chief had just given him.In his view, the most important thing in the NBA now is where James is going, and whoever can get first-hand information can obviously attract more traffic.

"I'll let someone else go to Cleveland. You have more important things to do. Go directly to Orlando to see if you can contact Xu Xiang and give him an exclusive interview. After all, he played in Shanghai before." The editor-in-chief is a middle-aged man in his forties with bald hair, and he said quickly.

"But Xu Xiang is more important than James?" Zhang Yang asked incredulously.It stands to reason that he is the number one reporter of the newspaper, and he is always in the most critical place for any important matters, but this time the editor-in-chief asked him to give up James and go directly to Orlando.
In China, it is not only Shanghai Sports News who is acting at this time, it seems that several large domestic media have sent people to Orlando, hoping to do an exclusive interview with Xu Xiang, at least to chat a few words, to grasp the latest news of Xu Xiang, because now Xu Xiang's status in China is already very high given his performance of 29 points in a game and 28 points in a game
Xu Xiang didn't know the current domestic situation, he was shopping with Mallory now.I don't understand, women's desire for shopping seems to surpass everything else. Although they don't buy everything, they seem to enjoy the process of picking things back and forth.

On the fourth day, there was still no Pacers game, so Xu Xiang spent the whole day with Mallory as usual, because she was going back tomorrow.

This time, she has been here for several days, and she has already called many times at home.After Xu Xiang's enlightenment, the relationship between Mallory and his family has been reconciled as before, and his father, the big boss of the Bucks, also agreed to investigate Xu Xiang first. If the performance is okay, he will not object to Mallory being with Xu Xiang.Xu Xiang thought to himself, what if you disagree?Really, we all cooked rice with raw rice!
Time passed quickly. After watching Xu Xiang play the Thunder, Mallory bid farewell to Orlando at Xu Xiang's farewell and returned to Milwaukee. The two parties had agreed that after the summer league ended, Xu Xiang would go to Milwaukee to visit Mallory's father in person. After all, the relationship had been established, and it was not good to hide anything. Moreover, Xu Xiang believed that he could get Mallory's father's approval.

As for the result of the game?Then there is no need to ask?After learning that his girlfriend was going to leave, Xu Xiang was like a god possessed, scoring 33 points and 3 assists like crazy.Without an assist, he took the ball as soon as he took it, and his crazy performance led his teammates to a 102-80, 22-point victory over the Thunder.

After winning the Thunder, Xu Xiang didn't take any special shots in the next game, so he lost the game against the Heat on the sixth day. Xu Xiang scored 19 points and 7 assists in the game. This was the first time he scored less than 20 points in the summer league.

Immediately after the final day on the last day, Xu Xiang was still not as crazy as the first three games, but he still scored 25 points, although he still lost the game.

In the end, Xu Xiang averaged 5 points per game in 26.8 games for the Pacers and became the "scoring leader" in the 2014 Orlando Summer League, although this kind of game does not have this honor.
等到7月11日，所有的比赛完之后，最后的76人以91-75的大比分击败灰熊夺得了2014夏季联赛的冠军，这也意味着徐向的夏季联赛之旅正式结束。
