After the New Year began, the Pacers easily defeated the Heat.

The Heat followed the previous method of the Spurs restricting Xie Hou, locking the outside gate and filling the inside gate. Although their defense personnel are not yet at the level of Duncan and Bowen, they also bring a lot of trouble to Xie Hou.

Xie Hou won another quasi-triple double-double of 1777, and the team also easily defeated the Heat.

With his rise, NBA's research on him has become more and more detailed. Problems such as unstable three-pointers and poor physical strength have become the main flaws that each team focuses on.

Although these flaws are like rookie Duncan's inability to increase his free throw shooting percentage to 70%, they are considered to be picking egg shells from eggs. Although they have a certain effect, they cannot fundamentally change anything.

One day later, the Pistons faced the Celtics back-to-back.

Xie Hou easily defeated the Celtics' defense, scoring 211010 and the 8th triple-double.

Then the Pacers are going to go back to Indianapolis for rest. There are 5 home games next, with the strongest opponent being the Detroit Pistons.

Moreover, before these five consecutive home games started, they had a four-day offseason.

What's even more fucking is that these 5 home games have two back-to-back consecutively.

That is to say, within 7 days, they will play five games.

If the players are allowed to choose on their own, they would rather play 5 games in 11 days than play 5 games in the remaining week after four days of rest.

But this is their schedule. The organization has decided. You just want to play like this. What else can you do? You can only play.

After all, there are many more nonsense schedules in history than this.

In training today, Bird heard Artest complaining about the difficult schedule, so he told him, "How did I play five games in six days with my disabled back then?"

It was 1991, back to back to back, resting for a day, and then another back to back.

"So these guys who set the schedule have a big problem. This schedule smells shit from the inside out!" Artest complained in a rough voice.

Xie Hou sat on the ground holding the ball and complained to Artest: "Atai, can you not get used to the stuff like shit? "

"That's right, half of the old women in the entire city of Inn have been passed by you!"

Artest complained loudly: "Can you guys stop copying my old story here!"

Artest has three good people, defense, swear words, and mature/women.

Moreover, this guy likes excitement, so he always walks on the back door. As the saying goes, he often walks on the gang, so there is no way to go non-stick. This is a fact that everyone in the Pacers team knows (do you think Anal Thai is a joke).

Today's technical training, tactical training and strength training have all ended. Generally speaking, this point should be disbanded.

Claire suddenly wanted to see these people play a confrontation match, and they were divided into the first and second half, and 10 minutes in one half, and the rules were based on the official game.

The CSKA Gang led by Xie Hou was assigned to the same team, and then Artest, Miller and others were of poor quality and frivolous skills, and they especially liked the bad guy Gang who had physical confrontation for the other team.

The players each wore black and white competition training suits and the game began.

In order to have the feeling of a formal competition, Artest is always his opponent during the matchup.

The two are no longer as unfamiliar with each other as they were at the beginning of training camp.

Artest knew what he was going to do whenever he saw Xie Hou's eyes. Because he was too familiar with it, Xie Hou also knew how to dismantle Artest's defense.

There is no single defense without solutions, just find the right solution - Xie Hou chose the simplest solution, call the pick-and-roll, and jump shot in the emergency stop.

After success, the white team led by Xie Hou took the lead.

"He seemed to be very confident in shooting during training." Dimi Tredes, a veteran trainer at the living fossil level, took the initiative to mention this.

Everyone in the coaching staff agreed.

Xie Hou currently averages 26 points per game, ranking third in the league, lower than McGrady and Iverson.

Just looking at the data, there is no need to say about offensive performance. He is the number one offensive player in the Pacers, but it is worth discussing the performance of the scene, the data reflection, and the shooting hot zone.

Judging from Xie Hou's shooting hot zone, he is like Ben Simmons who does not resist shooting and can hit mid-range and long-range shots.

His shooting percentage in the penalty area is as high as 68%, which is also the top-notch level compared to the inside;

The mid-range shots at the left wing, the right wing, and the free throw line positions all have at least 44% shooting percentage output. Based on his height and responsibility for offense and defense, this is an excellent performance.

Outside the free throw line, Xie Hou struggled with three-pointers at the top of the arc and was put at the most, with the 45-degree angle on the left and right sides passing the forty-five degrees, and the bottom corner was a completely cold zone.

Due to his tactical status, Xie Hou rarely goes to the bottom corner, and will not shoot three-pointers at that position. Even if he shoots, he still has no choice but to make a move with the time to count, and his hit rate is naturally not guaranteed. So far in the season, he has only hit a three-pointer on the left and right bottom corners.

"He is already very mature, and we don't need to worry about the offensive end..." Claire was just a little disappointed. "Maybe we are too anxious. Even Magic can only hit 0.1 three-pointers in each game in the first nine years of his career." (Average shooting percentage is 20%)

"No, you should be anxious." Bird, who has been silently paying attention to the match, spoke slowly, "The players before the 24-second offensive rules appeared, played two completely different games from the players after the 24-second offensive rules appeared; the players in the 1960s and the styles of the 1970s were also far from each other. I can't imagine Wilt Chamberlain hitting a high jump shot in his posture that was ugly than women's shooting; by the same token, the players in the 1970s could not imagine the magician's tall ball-holding.

How do people play? Because in their opinion, if you grow tall, you have to play inside. We have never had the concept of three-pointers since we were young and the rules of the court. We did not get into three-pointers for the first time until we entered the NBA. We started from scratch like learning dribbling. Magicians learned slowly. I learned faster (it was too fucking fast). In our era when we hardly paid attention to high pick-and-rolls, three-pointers were punishment methods, and a desperate gambling attack. Now, everything is different."

Joint defense, teamwork defense, players with better athletic strength, their shooting skills are increasing, and their targeted defense... Everything is forcing players who are determined to stand at the top to continue to move forward without leaving any weaknesses that can be targeted by others.

"Indeed, times have changed," said Bain Ruth, chief assistant coach and defensive coach. "Arthur may not be indispensable for three-point teams, but if it can stabilize, it means he will become an unsolvable monster on the offensive end."

"No, Bain, you're too sure." Bird shook his head and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ruth was stunned at first. If others questioned him, he would feel disdainful. He has been staring at this young man since Xie Hou joined the team. He may know how long and short his hair is better than Xie Hou (although understanding this matter has no meaning except to scare Xie Hou), but the person who said this was Bird, who opposed the public opinion five years ago, shut everyone up and made the team take huge risks to choose Xie Hou.

If someone in the world must know Xie Hou better than him, he only accepts that this person is Bird (Chen Mimi: I ask you to think twice before speaking).

"I have poor physical strength, love to be a little bitch, can't defend the little guard, and I'm not good at defending the defender. I don't have any decisive skills when facing elite ball holders of the same figure. I mean the scoring method that will remind you of a certain player when I mention it (Bryant and Jordan's backwards, Nowitz Fund Chicken Independence, Tian Gou)....” In Bird's opinion, Xie Hou's biggest problem is that "there is also a heart that yearns for life in big cities."

Upon hearing this, Claire expressed admiration for Bird's textbook-like egg picking up egg shells. "It's really a big problem, so how should we deal with it?"

"This is just a small part of his many problems." Bird used his finger to force out five centimeters, "but it's enough for us to work hard."

Ruth seems that except for the last one Bird said, nothing else is a fatal problem.

As for the small problems Bird mentioned, if all of them can be solved, Russ is almost certain that Xie Hou is the strongest individual player in history.

What if it cannot be solved?

Thinking of this, the on-court match had already reached the last round of the first half, Xie Hou dribbled to suppress the time.

There was someone on the sidelines. He first changed hands and dribbled the ball under his crotch and made a strong breakthrough. Such a blatant breakthrough could not break through the city gate. Xie Hou took the method that others seemed very risky - took the initiative to fight Artest - using the wild power of the beast, he used the change of direction behind the ball in his running, and threw Artest away from half of his body and rushed into the inside.

The huge palm controlled the ball and planned to use a difficult pull rod. Artest rushed over and gave him a strong confrontation. This time, the ball on his hand fell off.

The wonderful offense and defense ended with Xie Hou's missed the ball, and the first half came to an end.

“What if it can’t be solved?”

Ruth thought.

He slowly smiled as he watched Xie Hou sitting on the ground complaining that Artest was too fierce to fight against him.

Even if it cannot be solved, with Xie Hou's existing abilities and maintaining stable progress, he can still become one of the best superstars.

This is a genius who is destined to be buried.

After watching the last attack, Bird rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Xie Hou's ball just now coincided with the image of someone in his mind.

Long body, long hands, huge palms.

Compared to that person, Xie Hou's ability to hold the ball is stronger, his vision of passing the ball is infinitely enhanced, and his shooting ability can even throw that gentle scum into the horizon...
