Chapter 30 To The Holy City
After spending a day with Jiang Ran, Xia Tian returned to the Toyota Center for training. Because the next opponent was the Spurs, Adelman also found it difficult, so he called the players together for a day of training.

"Hey, Xia, why are you here so early? You've been sweating for a while, haven't you?" A voice came from the exit, and it was Harden when he turned his head.

"Didn't you play all day yesterday, so come early and find out how you feel."

"How about playing for a while?"

"Okay." Xia Tian replied with a smile.

Then Xia Tian handed the ball to Harden and started to defend. Harden faced Xia Tian's defensive eyes always erratic, as if he wanted to use his eyes to deceive Xia Tian.

But Xia Tian has played basketball for so long, how could he just be turned away by his eyes, so Xia Tian is still one step away from Harden, staring hard at Harden.

"Boom, boom, boom." Harden looked at Xia Tian's defense and began to dribble, the basketball sounded rhythmically in Harden's hands, fake moves, changing direction, about to break through!
Seeing Harden's dribbling in Xia Tian, ​​he took another step back following Harden's pace, but Harden didn't make a breakthrough. He made a signature step-back three-pointer and hit the ball.

Xia Tian smiled wryly and shook his head. He didn't expect that Harden didn't make a breakthrough. After all, Harden's preference for stepping back three-pointers was also a matter of the 17-18 season. Due to his young age, Harden still prefers to make breakthroughs.

Maybe many people haven't seen Harden's flying style at the beginning, but Harden was indeed a flying role in the past, not the floor style later, and the reason for his floor style is believed to be familiar to everyone, fear of injury.

"Xia, it's 2-0."

"Cut, continue." Xia Tian said unconvincedly looking at Harden's despondent appearance.

"Okay." Harden took Xia Tian's ball and took a tentative step, and then broke through from the left when Xia Tian didn't react. After breaking through Xia Tian, ​​Harden easily used a pull bar.

But the sound of the basketball swipe the net did not resound, instead of the sound of the basketball entering the net, the sound of a "snap" blocked the shot. Harden stared at Xia Tian dumbfounded.

This can also be covered!Harden just pulled the bar for a layup!What a long hand it takes!

"Xia, awesome!"

"Hey, you have also learned our Chinese language."

"Of course, after being influenced by you for so long, I must have learned something."

"Then go on."

"OK."

The two continued to fight the bull until Adelman came, and they took a rest for a while. At this time, Lowry also leaned towards Xia Tian with a smile on his face.

"Xia, congratulations, I made it! Haha."

"It's done?" Xia Tian also looked at Lowry in surprise, he never thought that it was only a day, no, in half a day Lowry managed to catch up with another girl!
"Of course, but thank you sister-in-law for what you said to me. Otherwise, I might not have the courage to go in."

"Well, it's good to catch up, and take it out for a meal after a long time."

"Well, yes, you must come then."

The two exchanged pleasantries on the bench for a while, and then Adelman called everyone together, and first explained several new tactics, the core being Lowry and Hassan.

It seems that these two people have been approved by the coach and have already arranged tactics. Afterwards, the starters and the substitutes played a game. Adelman recorded something while watching the game.

After the game, Adelman explained to the big guys what mistakes were made during the game, and then began to train everyone's physical fitness. It was almost dark when Adelman put a group of people back.

Naturally, flirting with Jiang Ran was indispensable in the summer when they returned home, and they didn't gradually fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, Xia Tian followed the team on the plane and went to the holy city. The GDP of the last preseason game was dropped by half, which made Xia Tian wonder, why he wondered, because he didn't play well.

In the arena, the two teams were warming up before the game. Compared with the lively Spurs on the Rockets side, it seemed much deserted. No one communicated, and they were all practicing on their own.

The game finally started under much anticipation. This game was also hailed by the media as a battle between the old and the new. Is it the old giants, the Spurs, or the newly promoted Rockets?

"Welcome to the live broadcast. This is the game between the Rockets and the Spurs. I am the commentator Yang Jian. Yu Jia and I will explain this game to everyone."

"First of all, we can see that Yao Ming jumped to the ball again. I don't know if it's because of Yao Ming's weight loss this season. This is the third consecutive game that Yao Ming has jumped to the ball."

In the live broadcast room, Yang Jian and Yu Jia explained the game vividly, while Xia Tian and Harden also quietly communicated on the field.

"Harden, do you want to have a game? Later we will shoot from the free throw line in singles and see who hits the first goal first. How about it? Bet a meal."

"Okay, who will come first then?"

"You first."

"Then you're doomed. It looks like you're looking for a reason to invite me to dinner." Harden rolled his eyes and smiled.

Xia Tian didn't speak, smiled and returned to the 45-degree angle position, opened the distance for Harden, and then compared his thumb to 5, which means to open the singles.

Everyone opened up the space to watch Harden play Parker singles. After watching the crowd open, Harden slowly started to dribble, and the basketball was dribbled rhythmically in Harden's hands.

Even Parker felt a little dazzled. Of course, it’s not that Harden’s dribbling speed is fast, but that Harden’s dribbling is too rhythmic, and coupled with Harden’s erratic eyes, it feels like Harden is about to break through at any time .

Suddenly Harden pulled back as if he was about to shoot, and Parker also rushed over, but Harden didn't want to shoot at all, but pulled back and made a feint of bowing to Buddha!
Oops!Harden had a great time fouling the Rockets last season!Since I took off, maybe this guy will make another foul!But to Parker's surprise, Harden didn't.

After worshiping Buddha, Harden quickly broke through Parker, and then made an emergency stop jumper at the free throw line. Harden fell to the ground with a satisfied expression.

But with the sound of "duang", the basketball went out of the basket!Harden looked at the basket in disbelief!How could it be!Missed?Seeing this, Xia Tian rushed into the inside and got a rebound over the heads of everyone.

After getting the rebound, Xia Tian didn't rush to shoot, but came to the free throw line and hit Jefferson with his back. After hitting Jefferson rhythmically, Xia Tian suddenly changed his rhythm, a fast and powerful impact Jefferson froze in place.

And Xia Tian used his strength to jump high, bend down, aim at the basket, and launch!
"Swish"

The basketball hit the net and the Rockets scored their first point of the game.
Today’s update is really too late, Xiaoyan feels sorry for everyone, but the continuous code words, because Xiaoyan has opened two books, so it’s been cold these days, and his shoulders are so painful that he can’t bear it, just I used an intermediate frequency machine to give myself electricity. Xiaoyan also studied medicine before, and he still knows a little bit about cupping, intermediate frequency, and acupuncture. To be honest, the electrotherapy of the intermediate frequency machine is indeed effective, so Xiaoyan is not on the shoulder. After the pain, I went back to bed to catch up on sleep, but I overslept this time!I forgot to set the alarm clock, and then both novels have to be updated. I feel a little guilty. I'm sorry everyone. The next chapter, Xiaoyan, will come out before eleven o'clock. Thank you for your support.
