Xie Hou joined the team as a buzzer-bearing person. If he is one day late, the registration deadline will be over.

Although doing so will make some people uncomfortable, Pacers Summer League coach Bain Ruth announced on the spot after Shehou joined the team: "He will be our core."

As a result, as the core of this team, Xie Hou did not train with the team until the team arrived in Southern California, two days before the game began.

On this day, they conducted confrontational training at the training ground provided by the organizer.

The Pacers' summer league team's lineup is very shabby compared to other teams. Apart from Xie Hou, there are no new players with high potential.

Shehou and Papalucas occupy two starters, while the other three starters are James Jones, Primoz Brezek and Jamison Brewer.

After a simple warm-up training, Pacers' Summer League head coach Bain Ruth announced a team match.

Xie Hou and Papalucas were assigned to the first team, while the other three main players were assigned to the other team.

As for Xie Hou's other three players, they are all undrafts with no NBA draft prospects. Of course, their opponents are the same. The list of vacant rosters are filled in by undrafts.

Xie Hou's team belongs to the black team, and the center of the team is Russian named Benedict Wavnowski.

This person has a bare feet height of 210 cm and a wingspan of 220 cm. His physical condition is actually very good. Unfortunately, the speed is very slow. Not to mention the NBA's fast offense and defense rhythm, he is difficult to even play in the Russian Super League.

Such people also dream of fighting against NBA.

"Benedy!" Before the opening, Xie Hou walked up to him and said in Russian, "Don't be nervous, just have fun, this is just an in-team match."

Wavnosky nodded slightly. He had heard of Arthur's reputation. Although the other party grew up in Russia, they had no intersection. Xie Hou's words made him relax a lot. Perhaps it was too relaxed that he could not win the jump ball for the Black Team.

"Return to defense!" Xie Hou shouted, "Find out your opponent!"

Xie Hou was about to post a 193 cm double-energy guard Bruel, but saw Papalucas taking the initiative to meet him.

These days, due to the existence of Brewer, Papalucas was forced to play the third position, which is actually a humiliation for him. Because the coaching staff did not believe that he could play point guard at the NBA level.

Joining forces with Xie Hou, Papalucas found his original confidence and started with high-intensity oppression.

With a 202 cm tall bare feet and a 99 kg weight, no matter who meets him, he will be struggling.

Xie Hou faced the number three position of the White Team James Jones.

This person has no talent, even if he has average combat power. Fortunately, his mental attributes are good and he works hard. He can't make a lot of money in the NBA, but he can definitely fight in the NBA for many years.

Xie Hou followed him to run. No matter what, this guy looked down on his defense too much.

What should I do if I am underestimated? Let him know your strength in anger? No, no, no, be more patient and do great things.

Xie Hou kept a close distance, and Brewer was soon forced to bear it by Papalucas and passed the ball towards Jones.

Even Jones thought his way of receiving the ball was safe. Xie Hou, who seemed to be at a safe distance, suddenly stepped forward, approached his position, stretched out his 224 cm long arm, and intercepted the ball.

“wtf?”

Jones didn't realize what happened. Xie Hou had already intercepted the ball first and threw it over halfway through the court like a grenade.

Papalucas received the ball in the frontcourt and ended directly with a dunk.

"Good ball!" Papalucas shouted.

The White team's counterattack was also very fast, and Jones became honest when he was cut off. Although they were not convinced by Xie Hou, he came up and used steals and instant long passes to instigate the counterattack to calm the scene.

Some people don’t need to show anything in a flash.

Brewer no longer entangled with Papalucas, and drove the ball through half the game like a porter, creating opportunities by transferring the ball.

Wafnosky was very passionate, but passion could not help him complete the defense.

In a blink of an eye, he actually let his opponent go empty because he took into account the offensive player in front of him. The white team successfully distributed it to his teammates at the basket. The short and powerful black center with strong dunk at the basket.

Xie Hou picked up the ball and threw it to Wafnosky, not showing off his teammate's low-level missed defense just now.

Wafnosky was not used to standing such a tall ball handler in front of him. He had never seen someone of this figure play number one, but now he had to adapt to this.

"Make a pick-and-roll for me later." Xie Hou said quickly in Russian, "Don't hesitate, if there is a gap, you can drill. No matter how difficult it is, my ball will be right!"

What a confident guy, Wafnosky didn't even have any doubts. He went to the high position to use his body advantage as a wall, and then turned around and headed straight to the basket.

The white team expected that they would play this trick and rely on their bodies to block Xie Hou's regular passing route, but some people didn't like to go the ordinary path.

Jones felt the ridicule of the other party through Xie Hou's eyes, and was about to know what method he would use to pass the ball, then he saw him swing the ball into the air - the ball hit the rebound and bounced into Wafnosky's hand.

The slow and soft Russian roared and dunked his hands.

If Xie Hou was spared the time to dribble through half the game, it took less than three seconds for this attack to be started to complete.

The head coach stood by and watched, not only surprised, but also felt a little helpless.

It seems that it is difficult for these people to teach the arrogant King Arthur a hard lesson.

Xie Hou never attacked. In his eyes, this level of game can be won by passing the ball.

Even though he had no desire to attack, he completely destroyed the White Team's defense by relying solely on passing.

The question is, what about his defense?

Ruth actually doesn't value offense, he values ​​defense.

Xie Hou's latest version of the scout report said that he is a top team defender, and his single defense is not good, but his defensive steps are not as good as the defense against the small defender.

This is normal. If you can keep up with the small defender with a height of 204 cm, you will not be a human, but a demon.

The White team put away their previous arrogance and arrogance. They had expected Xie Hou's strength, but Papalucas' defense was beyond the plan.

He has always been against a forward line like Jones, and his figure advantage is not obvious. Now he faces Brewer, who feels like he has entered the Infinite Hell.

Through the pick-and-roll, Brewer faced Xie Hou, and he thought he had an advantage in speed (that's true). So he played a simple change of direction first, shook Xie Hou a little bit and attacked hard.

He thought that the result of this attack must be beautiful.

Xie Hou really couldn't keep up, but his opponent underestimated his arm span and instant explosive power.

Brewer threw Xie Hou away one and a half positions and took a throw to end the attack. Unfortunately, the throw only flew into the air and was caught by Xie Hou from behind.

"Strike back!"

Xie Hou picked up the floor ball and let out a long whistle.

"The basketball court is too small for him!" The assistant beside Ruth said with emotion.

Xie Hou's absolute speed may not be as fast as the little defender, but his pace and increasingly fierce explosive power completely surpassed the level of the training ground.

No one could stop Xie Hou who was violently aroused.

When he rushed to the frontcourt, although there were still people in front of him, he was no longer interested in making other moves to confuse the audience. He put his long arm on his head and finished a super hand block that did not treat his opponent as a human.

After Xie Hou dunked the ball, he fell to the ground, without saying a word, let alone pulling the opponent up.

There was a smile on his face (when did he not laugh?), and it was more hurtful than squirting trash words, because his smile and sarcastic eyes made Team Bai read his heart directly - why are you so weak? Why are you so weak?

Ruth's initial idea was to touch Xie Hou's bottom through this confrontation.

As a result, he found himself wrong.

Not only did not find out Xie Hou's background in this confrontation, it could have broken the confidence of the Bai team. Although Xie Hou looked down on the Bai team's expression, he was not ruthless in the fight! This dunk, defense, and counterattack instigation would have made them beaten to go back to have nightmares at night.

The match that should have been evenly matched, due to Xie Hou's existence, the Black Team slaughtered the White Team 28 points in 20 minutes.

No suspense.

Xie Hou scored 6 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the whole game. Moreover, the "little guard who can't defend" criticized by scouts' reports is not obvious.

In the full-game match, Brewer did not score even a goal in front of Xie Hou.

"What a pity, I really want to see him compete with LeBron." Ruth said regretfully.

Because James is in the Knicks do not participate in the Southern California Summer League.

Therefore, Xie Hou's duel with this legendary lifelong enemy must be pushed back.

After playing this confrontation, Xie Hou took the initiative to ask Russ, and he wanted to know if the summer league is at the level of team confrontation.

"A little taller than this (but not much higher)." Ruth said tactfully.

"Look at it this way, if I don't become the scoring champion, blocking king, stealing king, assist king, rebounding king, MVP and MVP in the finals, I would really feel sorry for the fans' expectations." Xie Hou turned around and muttered.

Ruth's scalp was itchy when he heard it, as if countless bugs were crawling on his head.

Some people pretend to be irritated will make people angry, some people pretend to be irritated will make people uncomfortable, and there is also a kind of people pretend to be irritated and you will feel uncomfortable all over after the incident.

The first type of pretending to behave is common in real life, and it will not be mentioned;

The second type is Xiehou;

The third type is Larry Bird.
