Chapter 456 Strange Atmosphere, Confused Cousin
The preseason game was mainly about getting familiar with the rhythm and state, and the game was not too intense. Both sides started to withdraw their troops in the third quarter.
The coaches on both sides are quite contradictory. There is no way. At the beginning of the new season, everyone wants to let the players practice more, and is worried that the premature exposure tactics will be targeted.
To the disappointment of the Lakers fans, Xu Xuan only played for the first 5 minutes of the game, and spent the rest of the time chatting and beating off the court, watching other people perform.
Xu Xuan's style made rookies like Russell and Ingram breathe a sigh of relief.
The boss is not as sticky as the legend says, and he is still willing to give newcomers like them a chance to make their mark.
Of course, if Xu Xuan doesn't give it, they have no choice but to find a way to fulfill the contract and leave. Looking at it now, the boss looks pretty good, at least not without giving him a chance.
Xu Xuan didn't feel that he had done anything.
In the preseason, he was still facing the remnants of the Kings. He couldn't play 20 or 30 minutes without looking like it. That would be too shameful.
If it weren't for the fear of being told by the fans, he wouldn't have wanted to play this game.
There is no suspense in this game. Of course, it does not mean that the Lakers are strong, but that the role players of the Kings who lacked their cousins on the Lakers scored 98 points 68-30 cleanly.
Looking at the teammates who were celebrating happily, the cousin was sitting on the sidelines in a suit with a dazed expression.
"What, what, what, what's going on? Without me in this game, how do you feel that they have become stronger?"
Can kill the Lakers by 30 points?
He didn't dare to say that he would be able to do this on the court. The Lakers' role players were inexperienced, but they were weak but not as weak as imagined. On the contrary, he still felt quite strong.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Xu Xuan didn't stop hitting the hanger, he still hit for 5 minutes.
Just like that, can the Kings kill 30 points?
How about making me laugh?
The cousin's thoughts are relatively simple, and her ideas are relatively simple.
Anyway, he thought it was weird, although he couldn't find the reason.
Seeing his cousin's bewildered expression and hesitating to celebrate with his teammates, Xu Xuan almost burst out laughing.
My little cousin, haven't you seen it yet?
People don't need you at all.
To be honest, because of his bad temper, Cousins has a good relationship with the management, coaching staff, and teammates in the team. Otherwise, the management would not be forced by him to hand over to Matt. · Barnes.
Pure helplessness.
If you can't handle the relationship with your teammates in the team, no matter how good you play yourself, you can't be their savior.
The reality is that.
Was the United Arab Emirates weak?
Not weak!
Really not weak!
So why did he leave in the end?
Isn't it that the relationship within the team and the upward relationship have not been handled well?
Cousin is also in such a stage now.
Trading away Matt Barnes can be said to be a temptation for the Kings management, and they are almost reaching the limit of patience.
That's right, everyone now admits that Cousin is the league's No. [-] center to replace Xiaojia.
But so what?
If you can't lead the team to achieve results, everything is useless.
After all, the Kings are a little annoyed with Cousins now.
It must be annoying to spend so much money and fail to achieve results every year.
Not to mention, Cousins' contract will end next summer. If the Pelicans want to renew his contract, they will definitely send a big contract. According to the market price, the total price of this contract may be 5 million in five years The average salary of the contract is 2.2 million a year, which can be said to be a sky-high contract.
The Pelicans definitely don't want to spend this money now, they will definitely find a way.
Even Xu Xuan felt that by trading Matt Barnes, he was stabilizing his cousin's heart.The management of the Kings is planning a bad move.
Tsk, none of these NBA executives are fools, they are all so smart like monkeys.
Of course, there are also stupid dogs, few, most of them have online IQs, as for the layout or something, it's pediatrics.
After figuring it out, Xu Xuan didn't remind Cousins what he meant.
Don't say whether he believes it or not, the friendship has not reached this point.
After the game is over, the Lakers' first game after Xu Xuan's joining, even if it is a preseason game, is enough to attract the attention of media reporters.
The crowd around Xu Xuan was so tight.
There are all kinds of microphones in front of me.
"Xu, lost the first game, how do you feel now?"
"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. There is an old saying in China that failure is the mother of success."
"Uh, can you explain in detail?"
"Specific explanation? Well, this sentence means that failure is success, his wife."
"Xu, what do you think the team needs to change most now? Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Change? Suggestions? I don't have any good suggestions. I think they played pretty well."
"Xu, what was your original intention to play basketball back then?"
"Love, pure love."
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
"It's the kind that makes you feel uncomfortable if you don't play for a day."
······
"Xu, have you had any problems playing basketball so far?"
"Yes, in fact, some problems have troubled me for a long time."
"Huh? Can you talk about it in detail?"
"What to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch, what to eat for dinner, every day I am anxious about how to solve the problem of three meals."
"Xu, besides playing and training, do you have any other hobbies?"
"Let's role-play once in a while."
"Huh? Where's the cosplay?"
"League of Legends."
Xu Xuan answered in such a serious and not serious, serious and not serious way, occasionally teasing the media reporters in front of him.
The atmosphere is getting better and better, and most media reporters are also satisfied with Xu Xuan.
After all, the NBA interview is not a formal occasion. Except for some deliberately looking for trouble, the relationship between the media and the players is relatively harmonious.
At the end of the interview, the cousin asked Xu Xuan to eat, but Xu Xuan refused.
No time, it's really no time.
The Lakers will play a total of 8 games in this preseason, and there are two games in China. In such a short time, most of them are floating in the sky.
The Lakers' opponent in the next game is the Nuggets, playing two consecutive games against the Nuggets.
The Lakers have a lot of talented young people, and the Nuggets also have a lot of talent.
Especially the Jokicyo teacher mentioned earlier, combined with Nurkic's inside duo, caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.
Randall is still young. In comparison, it is obvious that the Nuggets have performed better inside.
In the two games, it is normal for the Lakers to lose one and win one.
Frank's frown was also relaxed. If he didn't win one of the first three games, he would be under a lot of pressure. It would be much better to win one now.
Three games, one win and two losses, so far, it's not too bad.
The next game against the Blazers will be more interesting. Lillard on the Blazers side is also a serious "Xuanhei", and Lillard has always refused to accept anyone. You are the king of heaven. Will convince you.
Xu Xuan was only going to fight for ten minutes, but at the end of the fight, Lillard got angry and insisted on fighting him for two quarters before coming down.
The reason is that when Xu Xuan was resting, Lillard not only didn't stop the hanger, but he started harder.
Beating Lu Wei and others is worse than death.
There is no way, Xu Xuan can only go up to save the field.
The pair went from the second quarter all the way to the fourth quarter.
Everyone was angry, not only Xu Xuan, but also Lillard, but he was more excited.
The preseason is usually muddling through, but it is rare that Xu Xuan is excited, and he can also have a good time.
Good opponents are also hard to find.
Especially for someone like Lillard.
To be honest, with so many point guards in the NBA, Lillard thinks they are human.
Of course, except for Xu Xuan, Curry, Owen and others.
Just like Walker, he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart.
My director is so proud!
Of course, Xu Xuan doesn't follow his style, and he is really strong enough to guide.
Well, not so strong.
Lillard felt to Xu Xuan that he didn't even need Curry to be worse, and because of his style of play, Xu Xuan even felt that Lillard's guidance brought him more oppression.
The fans on the sidelines are also happy. In the preseason, everyone usually puts on airs. The stage where role players perform, such as Xu Xuan and Lillard, basically don’t have a confrontation. Everyone stays focused until the regular season is performing. Woolen cloth.
When the game was over, the fans at the scene shouted that they were enjoying themselves. When they left, they kept discussing, tweeting and posting on Facebook. In short, dazzle was over.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won. Xu Xuan played two quarters, and his anger was out of control, so he stepped down directly and ignored Lillard.
Go and play by yourself, play whatever you want.
Lillard didn't finish venting his anger, and hit harder, but what he didn't expect was that this aroused the same hatred among the role players of the Lakers, and the score was recovered a lot.
In the end, 109 to 106, the Blazers only won the Lakers by 3 points, and almost did not come back.
Lillard was very dissatisfied with the score. When he left the field, he kept looking at Xu Xuan, but Xu Xuan pretended not to see it.
Just pediatrics.
But I don't know that this appearance makes Lillard even more angry.
This guy now regards Xu Xuan as his greatest enemy in life, especially after Xu Xuan came to the Lakers to single out the leader.
Lillard wanted to compare with Xu Xuan, everyone is now a single-core team, let's see who is better!
As for CJ McCollum on the same team and Xu Xuan's previous honors. Are these important?
It doesn't matter!
Compare it from now on!
Xu Xuan didn't know what Lillard was thinking, even if he knew, it didn't matter.
To be honest, no matter how strong Lillard is, it is impossible for him to be stronger than the Cavaliers and Warriors now. These two teams are the goals of the Lakers.
After playing the Blazers, they played the Kings again.
The cousin also did not play this time, and his weight loss plan has not been successful.
So, in an inexplicable atmosphere, the Kings won again.
116 to 104, 12 points difference, although not as much as the previous game, but it is still a lot.
Especially in the eyes of many people, the Kings are just weak chickens.
Xu Xuan didn't say anything. In a game, there are always winners and losers.
Kings weak?
Which eye of yours sees the Kings weak?
Now this king team without a cousin is terrible. It is the cousin herself.
Still a bit lost right now.
He hasn't realized what's going on yet, but he's actually quite happy when his teammates win.
I just always felt that something was wrong. Counting this game, the Kings played a total of four preseason games, and they won three of them. The loss was because they met the Warriors. That's it. Losing by a single-digit point difference, but winning by a big score. Is there something wrong with this shit?
Always feel a little strange.
But my cousin doesn't think too much. He won the game and his teammates are very happy, so he has no reason to get angry.
The point is, he couldn't find any reason to get angry.
Get angry ass, laugh it off now.
So the cousin who noticed something was wrong didn't react, and was infected by the happy teammates.
Xu Xuan, who was watching from a distance, shook his head with emotion.
"Routines, they are all routines! They are bullying my cousin, who has no brains."
Xu Xuan thought to himself: "The Kings teamed up to put on a big show for my cousin. This group of hangers is too hateful."
The play was performed well, and it is estimated that there is no hope of counterattack when the cousin reacts.
At most, it was a disturbance, and the Kings just took the opportunity to get rid of him.
Cousin is still very popular. It can be said that he is currently the most stable center on the inside. His skills are not bad, and he can shoot from the outside. He is very suitable for the current mainstream. I believe that there will be many teams willing to eat him.
The most important thing is that it is not expensive. The cousin who changed the team is only 3000 to [-] million a year. Compared with his status, this contract is definitely not expensive.
After five games in the preseason, the Lakers have one win and four losses, and their record is not ideal.
Many worried fans have already started praying in advance, and the record of the Lakers is really worrying.
"It won't be the regular season, will it still be like this? Then I will be sad, and I still think about the rise of the Zijin Dynasty."
"Probably not. Didn't you see that Xu Xuan didn't exert his strength at all? He just played casually. Xu Xuan is going to be serious in the regular season."
"But the Warriors and Cavaliers are really strong this season, especially the Warriors. After Durant joined the Warriors, I don't know how they will lose. Hey, they won't break the record of 73 wins last season, right?"
"This is something to worry about. I saw many fans in the Bay Area playing the slogan of 75 wins in the season. I thought they were floating at first, but let me put it this way, I am also a little worried."
When the fans were discussing, Xu Xuan and others had already boarded the plane to China, and the next two games against the Warriors in China.
Before boarding the plane, Xu Xuan received a notice that his ring had been prepared and would be handed over to Xu Xuan during the first regular season game of the Lakers. Xu Xuan looked at it and found that the first game happened to be a home game. not bad.
