Chapter 103 The Player Without Flaws

Xiao Hang's performance was remarkable for easily winning the first Summer League win. Although many well-known media in the United States still had some reservations about Xiao Hang's comments, they were no longer the skeptical words before the draft.

However, the Spurs Summer United team still maintains the fine tradition of taking turns off.

In the next game against the Pacers, the starting lineup changed again. White and Xiao Hang, the two absolute backcourt twin stars of Xialian, were rested in this way.

这场比赛倚靠着梅图苦苦支撑，18投12中，4罚2中，拿下26分、9个篮板、4次封盖。数据可以说非常爆炸，但还是以78比86，8分之差输给了步行者队。

The Pacers play basketball as a whole. A total of 7 starters and substitutes have scored in double figures. The main rookie of the Pacers this year, Aaron Holiday, is the younger brother of Zhu Holiday and Justin Holiday. The three Di brothers gathered in the NBA.

In this game, Aaron Holiday scored 15 of 3 and scored 10 points inefficiently. However, he had 7 assists and 7 rebounds, but he also sent 4 turnovers. Combined with only 6-foot-1, it is difficult to reach the height of his two older brothers.

In the next game of the Spurs Summer League against the Washington Wizards, Xiao Hang was not rested in this game, and was assigned to the third position, because the opponent’s third is this year’s 15th overall rookie, Troy Brown, University of Oregon, NCAA field Averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He is a 6rd position with strong rebounding ability. He is 7 feet 220 feet tall and weighs 4 pounds. A player in tune with the times.

The Spurs' arrangement this time is based on the confrontation between Xiao Hang and similar types of players.

At the same time, the Spurs starting lineup has also been confirmed.

Point guard Derrick White;
shooting guard Olivier Hanlan;

Small forward Xiao Hang;
Power forward Jaron Blossomgame;

Center Chimeziye Metu.

The Wizards' starting lineup is as follows.

Point guard Koris Jozza;
shooting guard Aaron Harrison;
small forward Troy Brown;

power forward David Robinson;
Center Thomas Bryant.

Metu's athletic talent really exploded, and he easily won the ball. Xiao Hang got the ball and directly controlled the ball to attack.

According to Xiao Hang's status in the team, he actually doesn't have this right, but the coach said before the game that Xiao Hang should play more singles, and Bill Duffy had to communicate with Xiao Hang before the game. Therefore, Xiao Hang chose himself for the first attack.

Brown didn't know Xiao Hang very well, but he knew about their dark horse deeds, and Xiao Hang played a very important role at Loyola University.But he felt that he would not be worse than Xiao Hang. He felt that Xiao Hang was just of high tactical status in the team, and the other players were too weak, so he played horrible statistics. It would be the same if he went to Loyola University by himself.

Xiao Hang dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and signaled his teammates to pull away.

Xiao Hang lowered his center of gravity, changed direction in front of his body, the ball came to his left hand, took a sudden step, and turned around one after another.

Oh no, it turned around halfway, fully mobilized Brown's center of gravity, and then turned back immediately. Brown seemed to have his legs stuck to the floor, and he didn't react. When he turned back, Xiao Hang had already pulled out the button with one hand .

Beautiful, Xiao Hang directly showed his terrifying dribbling ability and physical explosiveness in the first ball, and he couldn't see the feeling of being a yellow race at all.

Others just felt that Brown was passed, but only Brown knew what he had just experienced. In that second, Xiao Hang completed a half-turn and then turned back, and started a set of breakthrough movements. He underestimated this Xiao Hang ah.

Changing sides to fight again, Brown wants the ball and wants to get back the field just now.

Brown played 1-on-1 with Xiao Hang at the top of the arc, and also signaled his teammates to pull away.

Continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, he chose to break through from the right side of Xiao Hang, and just took two steps, but was directly intercepted by Xiao Hang behind his back.

Xiao Hang, who controlled the ball, took two steps and one step to speed up, went straight to the frontcourt for a fast break, and made another one-handed dunk. Only 30 seconds after the opening, Xiao Hang had already scored 4 points and showed enough deterrence force.

But Brown is still a rookie with the 15th pick after all, and he has a good adjustment ability. Later, when he played against Xiao Hang, he started to call the pick-and-roll, and he has a good shooting ability. At the end of the first quarter, he even tied with Xiao Hang and scored 10 points each. , but Xiao Hang was 6 of 5, and he was 9 of 4. In addition, he got a foul and made two free throws. His efficiency is not above the same level.

Xiao Hang's teammate's ability to switch defenses is also average. Every time Brown picks and rolls, he will always be given 1.5 to 2 seconds of idle time, which is more than enough for an NCAA elite player. Although Xiao Hang's efficiency is higher, but In terms of data, there is no tendency to encircle Brown.

The Spurs tapped Xiao Hang's potential very thoroughly. In the first half, White played a total of 13 minutes, while Xiao Hang played two full quarters and gave him enough tactical status to sort out the offense.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hang did a good job, distributing the ball, directing the players to move, and passing the ball well.

These are the things that the Spurs want to see. Where is the bottom of Xiao Hang's potential? At present, Xiao Hang's potential is a bit bottomless.

The defense was able to make full use of its own advantages, and after getting used to the referee calling in the first game, it did very well in the second game. At the end of the first half, it got a foul.

Offensively, he can not only attack with the ball on his own, but also without the ball. He can play in low positions facing the frame, and he can also serve as a point forward. It is very good to support passes in the mid-range shooting area.

Now that the Spurs saw what they wanted to see, Xiao Hang sat on the bench again as a matter of course, and left the other players to play blindly in the second half.

On the other hand, Brown, taking advantage of the absence of Xiao Hang, racked up points crazily.He shot from inside and outside, and scored 32 points. It's a pity that his teammates don't have as much experience as the Spurs players.

In the end, the Spurs narrowly won by three points, 88 to 85.

对阵奇才，萧航全场砍下了20分5个篮板6次助攻2次抢断1次盖帽，这些全部都是在两节之内砍下的。

Although it seems that Brown's data is more comprehensive, but after watching the whole game or knowing the playing time, you can know who is better.

The Spurs management is very satisfied with Xiao Hang, especially Harmon, and even feels that Xiao Hang can completely replace Kawhi after 1-2 seasons of training.

And Xiao Hang continued to be rested in the remaining 2 games. This is the usual style of the Spurs. The less Xiao Hang lets his opponent know, the more advantage he has.

In Popovich's office, Xiao Hang was sitting upright. He had always heard that Popovich was a very strict coach, but suddenly he was called into the office for no reason. Xiao Hang felt a little like being called into the principal's office when he was a child.

"Xiao Hang, what kind of player do you want to be?" Popovich wanted to know Xiao Hang's true thoughts, what if he was trained to be the second kawaii, if he didn't want to, and then had conflicts.

Xiao Hang was a little afraid to say it, he was afraid that if he said it too much, it would make the coach unhappy.

"Speak freely, don't worry that your dream will be ridiculed." Popovich seemed to see through Xiao Hang's inner thoughts at a glance.

Xiao Hang blushed, and after calming down, he said, "A player without flaws."

This Xiao Hang is really different from other players. I want to be Jordan, I want to be a magician, and I want to be Duncan. This guy is a player with no shortcomings. Wait, isn’t he just trying to replace Jordan? , this kid.

Although Popovich had already commented on Xiao Hang's dream in his heart, he still had to pretend on the surface.

"This idea is too general. Any player has shortcomings. As strong as Jordan, his three-pointers are very ordinary. Do you want to surpass Jordan?"

"Dreams are necessary, what if they come true?" Xiao Hang stole a golden sentence from a certain boss, but actually did not deny Popovich's statement.

However, Coach Popovich was very serious, and he very much recognized Xiao Hang's words.

"Xiao Hang, just work hard towards what you want to be, and we will help you later." After experiencing the Kawhi incident, Popovich no longer dared to let the players become what he wanted , The loss is too great, and the post-90s are no longer as easy to "fool" as people in the era of GDP.
