Chapter 856: The morning is in danger

“I have been teammates with many great players, and Arthur is the most special. He is an incredible guy, he is really, very generous, he is an excellent leader. He will always keep his enthusiasm and hunger, and call on us to take every game seriously, for him, everything is a challenge, he wants to play under a new system, and he has to carry the team on his own, build chemistry within our team, and his way of doing things is incredible.”

In the game against the Trail Blazers, Artest scored 34 points, which was the highest score in the team, and his evaluation of Xie Hou was also very high.

He knew how much Xie Hou had paid to get the team to chemistry.

After the back-to-back ended with the Warriors, the Pacers had a few days off.

The opponent in the next game is the Los Angeles Clippers. Regarding them, the most regrettable thing is that their decades of team history have only two seasons to make the playoffs. What is even more regrettable is that many of the talented players they selected in history have either fallen into depravity or been destroyed by injuries. The most regrettable thing is that the general manager who has been working for them for decades, Elgin Baylor, the number one tragic figure in NBA history, has been in the team's management for more than 20 years. After making tragic drafts that are comparable to his player career, he finally announced his resignation.

Behind these regrettable things, there is something that makes people regret Baylor.

It was not until after he retired that the media revealed that he worked for the Clippers for 22 years without a professional contract.

From this incident, we can see that up to now, the Clippers are still a strange flower in the NBA.

From the team, coaching staff, management, and boss class, only the same weirdness can come together.

For this battle, the walkers are determined to win.

The day before the game, the Clippers' lottery show, Russell Westbrook from UCL, said he could not wait to fight the Pacers with all his strength.

"If you could finish a dunk on Arthur's head, it would be a dream come true," Westbrook said.

Over the past half of the season, Westbrook basically established his name as the most capable defender in the Western Conference.

What's scary is that even if all the defenders in the East are added up, only Derek Ross can compare with it.

"Be careful not to be ridden by young people on their heads."

On the morning of the game day, Xuewei smiled and said to Xie Hou.

Xie Hou reached out and wiped away the little oil stains on the corner of her mouth. It was left by breakfast. "Don't worry, no one in this world can ride on my head except you and Qiya."

"come on."

Westbrook's slogan was shouted well, and Xie Hou believed that he had this wish.

The Pacers made a major mistake against the Clippers: underestimating the enemy.

Although the Clippers ranked last in the league, they are not a team without danger. Even the worst team in NBA history will not create a record of losing all 82 games. Since there is no team that loses all seasons, there will naturally be threats, just the difference between big threats and small threats.

In the Clippers, there are Westbrook, Al Thorton, DeAndrew Jordan, and Zach Randolph, who was recruited in the offseason - this is Baylor's last move.

Their lineup is a bit deformed, but its strength is not too bad. Randolph and Jordan Jr.'s inside lineup can just be effective against the Pacers.

Xie Hou met a real opponent.

His low post back hit was not able to push Randolph at all, and the fat man was too heavy.

That night, Randolph accomplished Garnett's unfinished career in the finals.

He defended Xie Hou from the back and forced Xie Hou to frequently start a breakthrough from the outside.

The Pacers' "one-star shooting" originally had two variables, but now Xie Hou can't hit the low position, so there is only one way to start, and the others become purely turrets and shooters.

This is the most basic and best defense "one-star shooting".

The Pacers' contempt of the Clippers led to a series of evil consequences.

Jordan Jr.'s earth-shaking aerial relay almost destroyed Xie Hou's defense.

Jordan, who was closer to the basket, completed his dunk on Sherhou's head before Westbrook.

"This is probably one of the biggest shame Arthur suffered on the field!"

The commentator spoke confidently, but Xie Hou himself did not have those feelings.

Shame is not considered shame.

Jordan Jr. is a seven-foot-piece man, and he scored an all-in-one. His active defense has become the background, and there is nothing to say. If he does not have this enthusiasm, he will not be able to score steals and blocks per game with a total of nearly 5.

The Pacers underestimated their opponent's strength.

The inside was exposed, Randolph Jordan's data combined were close to 50 points and 20 rebounds. On the outside, Westbrook's breakthrough was entirely due to speed and the vigorous horns dragging forward and pushing forward.

Unstable zombie jump shots, straight-line speeds coming and going like the wind, and flat-basket tomahawk buckles when counterattacking.

Except for dunking on Xie Hou's head, he accomplished all his goals.

The Pacers underestimated the Clippers' enterprising spirit.

Xie Houbai scored 48 points, and the Pacers lost at home, losing to the Clippers, who ranked last in the league, by 3 points.

"I don't think we gave our opponents enough respect. Everyone is discussing that we lost to the worst team in the league. I will compare to the Clippers tonight with the Bulls and Cavaliers. When we play against the Clippers again, we have to be well prepared. They may not have as many mature players as our team. But if you don't take them seriously and don't put in the field, you can't take the victory off their heads. If you're not ready for a Jedi rebound and don't do all the details on the field, you'll be beaten by them. It has nothing to do with how many goals we can hit, and we can't stop anyone. It's like those games that have lost before, and it's obvious that by the end of the game we've given up on the resistance."

Xie Hou accepted a live interview and expressed his resentment at the various competitions.

After this battle, the Pacers and the Celtics, ranked third in the East, opened a four-game victory gap.

The pursuit is getting harder and harder.

"They lost too many games that they shouldn't have lost."

To analyze the performance of the Pacers, the strong and weak teams must be separated.

Those who are interested will find that the Pacers' winning rate is not low against strong teams, and even the Bulls lost a match against them.

On the contrary, for those weak teams who could easily rule in the past, their probability of capsizing is extremely high.

So far this season, the Pacers have completed a regular season sweep against only one team.

That team is the third-ranked Celtics in the East.

Others, strong teams, weak teams, and even teams like the Clippers that only played two games with them in a season have not been double-killed.

In the locker room, Xie Hou's face looked ugly. He didn't get angry, but he didn't say a word, and his calm face made no one dare to speak.

Thibodeau walked in and said, "We should have won the game and hope the same thing won't happen in three days."

Three days later, the team they are going to play is the Jazz.

"If you continue to underestimate other teams as the defending champion, we will continue to lose these games that shouldn't have lost." Xie Hou stood up and decided to say something.

He is the captain and the leader, and he cannot remain silent after such a defeat.

"We can accept that you missed open balls, you can accept that Ron made a double turnover, I accept that we did our best and lost the game, but I don't accept the failure caused by pride and complacency."

"The championship is already a thing of the past. We can't live in the past. The Clippers told us clearly that if we continue to play like this, we can lose to the last Clippers in the league, and we will lose to other teams. I will never want to lose the game like this again."

After saying that, he entered the shower room.

"He was kind of polite, we beat like a piece of shit," Papalucas said after that.

Artest also said: "If Reggie was there, he would have scolded each of us to cry."

They began to reflect, and Thibodeau saw it. He knew that he didn't need to care about the atmosphere in the locker room. Xie Hou might not be Jordan, the tyrant like Bird who made his teammates frightened, and he was very good at grasping the situation.

He chose the right time to speak, suppressed his anger, and sounded calm.

Those who are familiar with him should know that he is already on the verge of an outbreak.

Does anyone want to see the eruption of Xie Hou volcano, which is always smiling?

You should leave such extreme emotions to your opponent.

Three days later, Utah.

Xie Hou spent three normal days and nights, and then vented the aggrievance and anger of losing to the Clippers to the innocent Jazz.

Salt Lake City fought against the alliance's "goats" ten years ago, but the goat they fought against was an old goat, and its athletic ability and instant combat power were no longer at its peak.

Xie Hou is still a long way from becoming a "goat", but many people already think he is the strongest player in history.

Ten years later, Salt Lake City has fought against the recognized strongest player in history and has little room for counterattack.

"White Duncan" Bogut took four fouls before finishing the first half.

Sloan was conservative and let him go down and rest.

But Xie Hou scored 40 points against the Jazz in the first half.

In the third quarter, Xie Hou slowed down his offense, grabbed the rebound to double digits, and scored 11 points.

By that time, the Pacers had already established a 26-point lead.

"He still wants to fight?"

In the fourth quarter, Xie Hou heard Utah booing every second he was on the court.

It’s shameless to brush data in garbage time! That’s what every Utah thinks.

Xie Hou calmly brushed the data to 65 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists to ensure that he would not force any obsessive-compulsive disorder on the earth to foul the opponent.

“!@!￥￥%”

“This is the biggest boo I’ve heard at the Energy Program Center!”

After this game, Xie Hou's average data rebounded to 37 points.

If this trend continues, not to mention 37 points, or 38 points, they are all within his range.
Chapter completed!
