In the first five games after Xie Hou returned, he averaged 19 minutes per game, scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the sixth game against the enemy Clippers, Xie Hou started for the first time in the new season.

After Russell Westbrook won the ball, his data exploded. He currently averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game, while Griffin became the top forward in the league with averaging 22 points, 11 rebounds per game.

In this game, Westbrook scored a triple-double, Xie Hou scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in a casual manner, and the Pacers won again.

"So far the season, the Pacers have won all six games and have not lost a single game."

"It was so unexpected. No one expected that they would have the strength to lead the East."

"Or it should be said that Arthur is too strong. He disappeared for a year and did not show any significant decline after he came back."

"Who can tell through his game that he is almost 35 years old?"

The Clippers lost the game, and the Pacers advanced to the top position in the league.

At this time, only the walkers are undefeated.

Several other championship teams, such as the Knicks, Lakers, Warriors and Trail Blazers, lost without exception.

The walker is not invincible.

In the tenth game of the season, they welcomed the powerful Western enemy Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are often forgotten. Their roster and strength are not bad. Star James Harden has the potential to take over Kobe's first point guard position, as well as Mark Gasol, Al Horford and Kyle Lowry, who was introduced in the offseason.

Their talent is the best, their books are extremely strong, second only to the Lakers, and their lineup has no obvious shortcomings.

The Pacers' first defeat was that they lost.

Harden stole a great technique from Xie Hou: one-foot step back three points.

This is Xie Hou's trick. He doesn't use it much. Every time he uses it, he is always excited. Harden turns it into a conventional method, with various step-back jump shots, and his shooting percentage is not low.

Harden scored 36 points against the Pacers, followed up with several other points, and the Pacers lost one by one and met their first defeat in the season.

If you lose the first game, will the second game be far away?

For the remaining games in November, the Pacers lost three more games one after another.

At the end of the month, the Pacers won 13 and lost 4, and they are no longer the top spot in the league.

Even the number one position in the East was snatched away by the Knicks.

The Lakers ranked first in the league, and they only lost 2 games at present.

Even though the Pacers only lost 4 games, they couldn't even get into the top three in the league.

The previous generation of stars is aging, and the Mesozoic generation is not connected, and the new generation still needs time to grow.

The 1910s are entering the weakest period of competitiveness, and the pattern of several teams competing for dominance will continue for several years. Fortunately, fans are not disgusted with the old man dominating the screen.

In December, Pacers activate the rotational rest policy.

Veterans who are older are taking turns resting.

Xie Hou continued to stick to the strategy of not taking turns to rest. As long as he was not injured, he would not take turns to rest. He would not give up playing games in order to have a better rest.

In addition to him, all other 30-year-old veterans in the team have recesses.

Due to the impact of the rest of the game, the Pacers' record was unstable and lost 6 games in December.

From top to bottom, they believed that the failure in front of them was acceptable. Only by cultivating enough energy could the old men accumulate strength to prepare for the playoffs in four and a half months.

Finally, the year of 2014, which has been plagued by many disasters, has passed.

2015 is here.

This is a special year, a landmark year.

Xie Hou and Yao Meng are 35 years old.

As we all know, 35 is the watershed in the career of professional players. No matter who you are, you will experience a significant decline from the age of 35.

The Pacers are not sure what Xie Hou and Yao will be like next season. They only hope to seize this season and strive for the results with all their might.

At this time, the Pacers won 23 and lost 10.

In the first battle of the New Year, we met the Eastern Overlord New York Knicks.

This season, the Knicks broke out.

Stephen Curry got rid of the impression of the Glass Man and played all the time last season. This season, he was upgraded from an All-Star guard to a superstar player. If it weren't for personal honor, he might be the best point guard in the current service.

In the semi-finals last season, the Knicks eliminated the Pacers, and in the crucial fourth and fifth games, they played unprecedented basketball.

This summer, Don Nelson retired and returned home.

Donnie Walsh has invested heavily in Steve Cole, who is a long-time guest at TNT, as head coach.

When Cole arrived, Curry broke out.

The Knicks' performance is different from other teams, and it seems to be a team from another era.

Quick transfer of the ball, willful three-pointers, and there are many ornamental singles.

Xie Hou saw the shadow of the running and bombing team on them, not just running and bombing.

The starting style of the running and bombing team is V-shaped offense and lightning counterattack.

The lightning counterattack can be seen on the Knicks, but the V-word attack disappeared.

Curry's ability to dominate the ball is so outstanding, Cole also acquiesced to take various "You'll shoot your mother" three-pointers in the eyes of old-school coaches.

Those three-pointers have a 43% chance of converting them to "Your mother dares to enter."

In the first battle of the New Year, the Pacers suffered a defeat.

The Knicks played the basketball of the future, which was amazing.

"They are not without weaknesses." Xie Houchong said.

In fact, the Knicks' seemingly complete lineup and bottomless talent hide many crises.

That's why they lost the Finals and why Xie Hou is confident of killing them in the playoffs.

That happened a few months later, and now it is more important to win.

In January, Xie Hou's status rose.

In November and December last year, he averaged 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and in January he averaged 30 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists per game.

With his brave January performance, Xie Hou led the team to 13 wins and 2 losses and was elected the best player in the Eastern Conference in January.

And, once again, he was selected as the All-Star starter with Yao Yun.

Xie Hou's twelfth year in the league and his eleventh season, he became an All-Star starter every season, and he had long been used to it.

Xie Hou's condition in early February declined slightly, but Yao Zhuo continued to flood the screen.

For the 76ers, Yao Yun scored 40 points and 10 rebounds. Who said he is old?

Against the powerful rival Lakers, Yao Ying vividly released the legend of him eating, sleeping and beating Howard is not a joke, but a fact.

Against Howard, he scored 36 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in a single game.

"This is the number one center in the league!" the announcer roared.

Until the All-Star Weekend arrived, Yao Yun scored less than 27 in a game.

Like a beast in estrus, he could not find a mating partner and attacked the target he saw everywhere, allowing the Pacers to not lose until the All-Stars arrived.

Thanks to his blessing, Xie Hou's performance restrained.

This is the value of Yao Yun.

Before he came, Xie Hou had never had a teammate who could trust him on the offensive end.

For a long time, he always took the pressure alone.

Yao Yun's arrival reduced his burden. His existence also gave Yao Yun enough buffer space. If he was in good condition, he would play the ball. If he was in bad condition, he would hand over the ball to Xie Hou. Anyway, he would do defense, grab rebounds, and eat cakes.

He formed the best chemical reaction between him and Xie Hou.

You can't find a better relationship between No. 1 and No. 2 than this.

They don’t care who is the boss, they don’t care about data, and they don’t think about who is showing off. They just want to advance and retreat together, and strive for more honors in the few peak years left.

Xie Hou and Yao Wang went to the All-Star Weekend, with the Pacers having a record of 42 wins and 12 losses.

They followed the Knicks closely and were only behind him and the Lakers in the entire league.

Moreover, the lead of both teams is not very good.

All-Star weekend has become a way to relax for Xie Hou and Yao. They are unwilling to waste their energy in the main game, just like a middle-aged and elderly man who clocks in and gets off work or pays public food to his wife on time.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Pacers' condition has fluctuated.

The old man’s many teams are beneficial. They have tacit understanding, experience, wisdom, and are not easy to get away.

It is easy to have problems if you rest for too long.

The weekly holiday made them rest.
