Chapter 42 Go to the Game (3/1
In the first quarter, Xie Hou was replaced after 9 minutes of playing.
When the game ended, the Pacers led the Nets by 9 points 21-12.
Since the Nets couldn't find someone who could match him, his performance was quite outstanding in the first quarter tonight. Artest used "he was blown up" to describe Xie Hou's performance in the first quarter.
12 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Such data is already the data of the whole game when it comes to ordinary starters, but Xie Hou easily played it out. He looks very relaxed and easy.
"I've been asking who Arthur looks like, and I really want to tell you that there is no such player in the Pacers' history."
Bobby Leonard, the commentator at the Banker Life Stadium, indirectly refuted the Pacers' old antique trainer Dimi Tredes, who said *******Nard is also the only Pacers' History News that can refute Tredes but not be questioned.
First, he was the most influential basketball player in Indiana before Larry Bird, who led Indiana to win the NCAA championship in the fifties.
His short 7-year NBA career allowed him to work with a master-level figure like George McCann, but at the peak of his life, he was the head coach of the Pacers.
Leonard took over the Indiana Pacers, who had just been established for a year, and immediately brought the team to the ABA Finals. Under his coaching, the Pacers won three ABA championships 69-70, 71-72 and 72-73, and he was the only champion coach in the history of the Pacers. In ABA's history, he was the official ABA history best coach in 1997. He ranked first among ABA coaches in regular season (387), playoff wins (69), and championships (3). He was also the only ABA coach who successfully defended his title. However, after the Pacers entered the NBA, Leonard failed to help the team continue his glory. Indiana won less than 40 wins for four consecutive seasons, and he retired in disgrace.
Simply put, what he means as a coach to the Pacers is just as Reggie Miller as a player to the Pacers.
Since 1985, Leonard has come out to serve Indiana again. This time his role is an announcer. He has been working since the mid-1980s to today. He has watched the Pacers enter the Miller era from the dark era. In the 1990s, he has made it to the playoffs nine times in ten years but has returned in vain. Until the new century comes, Schmitz retires, Miller grows old, and the team rebuilds again. Now, Indiana, this fertile ground that has nurtured countless basketball talents, has once again welcomed a savior.
Leonard's partner Kabby Charleston asked: "Bobby, since there are no players like Arthur in the Pacers history, what if all players in history are counted? Are there people who are similar to Arthur?"
"We all know that he looks like a Magician..." Leonard said. "He does look like a lot, but he doesn't look like a rookie Magician. He looks like a Magician in the mid-1980s and has the awareness of leading the team. However, the Magician's defense is far less than Arthur. He looks more like an inside line on the defensive end, which is a type we have never seen before."
"Then it's his self-confidence. Judging from his performance on the court and his confident rejection of Nike's high-priced endorsement contract, we can completely infer that he is a person who is confident in himself and has a high opinion of himself." Leonard said excitedly, "When was the last time that Indo-State player appeared in such a confident player, and who was he?"
Leonard believes that Xie Hou does not have a proper template.
It can be said that he looks like a magician, but not exactly like him.
Xie Hou was very helpful to Leonard's praise. To be honest, if he hadn't been worried about being pointed at the nose and scolded "Who are you the ones you choose," he would have told the media like Iverson back then that he didn't want to be the second, and he just wanted to be the first person.
When Iverson said that back then, he would naturally be considered a maverick, and at the same time, negative impressions of being arrogant and arrogant will also be added to him.
Although Xie Hou had the same idea, he would not express his feelings until he achieved his achievements.
In the second quarter, the Nets replaced Alonzo Mourning inside.
After Mooning appeared, he put a lot of pressure on the Pacers who lacked star inside. Although Kirilenko's assisting defense was comprehensive, his thin body could not withstand Mooning's elbow.
The inside line is an outlaw on the court. Even though the referee's whistle is blown tightly, he cannot control the confrontation of the inside players.
There are no innocent people in the inside line who are fighting every second.
Mooning broke the penalty area. On the outside, Kitels found the touch and made three-pointers in a row.
Artest was furious when he saw this. He first tangled Kitels with death, and then fought back several times like a irritating Spanish bull.
The situation stabilized again.
Artest's defense makes everyone feel relieved. It is not an inside, but has the inside level defensive influence. Anyone who is defended by him alone will feel pressure. When he locks his opponent, he can also take into account the defense of other teammates.
At this time, Kirilenko was very critical.
No matter how strong Artest's defense is, he is just a wing player and has limited influence. After all, this is not a small ball era where two meters of wings can match the center. No matter how strong the defense of the wing is, someone needs to help.
Without Kirirenko's assistant defense, Artest would have difficulty in achieving such a comprehensive influence.
Kirilenko's assistant defense, replacement, and rotation were underestimated.
Because of his single defense, he is easily beaten when encountering a rude beast like Mooning. Once he is allowed to enter the role of a co-defender, the situation will be very different.
Half past the second quarter, the score was 42 to 36.
The Nets have narrowed the score difference more or less. Martin is missing, Kidd is resting again, Kidney Fighter Mooning can only maintain a high-intensity game for fifteen minutes, and the situation takes a sharp turn for the worse.
When Claire saw Kidd calling out to the opposite side, he also called out Shehou and Papalucas.
"New Jersey's offense relies heavily on Jason Kidd's tandem to block him in an all-round way. As long as you can do it, we can win this game!"
Before Xiehou and Papalucas came on the field, Claire specifically ordered.
Before going on stage, Xie Hou and Papalucas had to stand beside the billboard on the scene to watch the game.
Xie Hou leaned against the billboard of the Mustu Group and happened to find that among the beauties sitting in the first row opposite, Xuewei Mustu.
He focused on the game before and never noticed Xue Wei on the sidelines.
"Don't tell me you're looking at the woman opposite." Papalucas felt that Xie Hou was a little inattentive.
"I'm not homosexual, why can't I look at women?" Xie Hou not only admitted it, but also made a promise.
"Okay, then which one do you think is more beautiful?"
The last second he looked like he was asking for advice, but the next second he was "who is more beautiful"?
This time it was Xie Hou's turn to occupy the moral commanding heights: "Our teammates fought hard against the New Jerseys on the court, but you only care about which of the beautiful girls in the front row opposite? Theo, I'm really disappointed with you! It's okay if you look at the beautiful girls, but you can't tell which one is more beautiful? Of course, it's the one on the left!"
The two actually started chatting and didn't notice the dead ball at all.
"No, I don't like that. My figure is too greasy. Such women often need a lot. Be careful that she planted grass behind you!"
"Hmph, only useless men will worry that they can't meet their partner's needs."
Before they could discuss this topic in depth, Miller stood up and cursed: "You two idiots are not going to get on the game!"
