In December, Xie Hou averaged 32 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists per game, while the Pacers lost only 3 games.

There is no suspense, he was elected the best player in the Eastern Conference in December.

There is only one worry, his playing time remains high.

On the night when Xie Hou stunningly defeated the Clippers, some reporters questioned that Thibodeau used Xie Hou too much.

When playing against the Clippers, Xie Hou played for 48 minutes, which should not be seen in the regular season.

Thibodeau avoided answering questions positively, saying: "I'm not worried about the issues you're worried about, I know everyone will pay attention to the data. Of course, this is definitely not our game strategy. I think the young players on the team, including the young players of other teams, need to learn from Arthur is what a core player means. It doesn't mean how beautiful you play, it doesn't mean how much praise you can get, but what role you play in team victory. It's undisputed that Arthur plays an important role in team victory, which is why we need him so much and let him play for so long. Many people will amply put the importance of big and small things, and so are those young players, and those often useless data that have no effect on victory."

His answer only said that the walker needed thanks, but did not say why.

Xie Hou had no other opinion, so he listened to him and then continued the game.

In a blink of an eye, December was left behind by them.

If you use a not-rigorous term, Xie Hou is already 31 years old. According to the rigorous term, or the statement that the alliance likes to use, he is now 30 years old and 154 days old. It will take more than half a year before he will be 31 years old.

If it was China's virtual year algorithm, he was 32 now, and it felt like time was aging. He liked the alliance algorithm, which was 30 years old and 154 days old, and it looked pretty good.

On the New Year's Day, his younger brother Xie Jun brought a big gift to the basketball world.

North Carolina fought Duke's mortal enemy, and he scored 49 points in the Blue Devils' home court Cameron Arena.

49 points are the University of North Carolina's single-game scoring record.

Xie Jun surpassed the scoring record set by Hans Blue, the No. 1 player in North Carolina.

The feudal battle between North Carolina and Duke was attracted by the whole United States. After winning such a record, Xie Jun's reputation naturally spread throughout the United States.

Major scouts simulated and predicted draft websites, he was the first pick in the simulation predictions of the 2011 draft before the start of the new season.

Now, he is still sitting in his position.

“Brigi is probably the strongest freshman ever!”

"Abundant version of Kevin Durant?"

"No, his defensive habits are much better than KD! He is more like a physically upgraded Dirk Nowitzki or... Arthur who can't pass the ball?"

"Dike Nowitzki and Arthur have a similarity?"

Xie Jun’s ruling freshman performance reminds people of the future. Will he achieve greatness like his brother?

After hearing about Xie Jun's incident, Xie Hou said nothing, but just forwarded his 49-point highlights on Shet.

Xie Jun is no longer short of attention. Even without him, he is a super rookie who is being followed by the United States.

The more he plays, the better he gets, and the scouts begin to set him up all kinds of incredible draft templates.

The template set by Espn for Xie Jun is an extremely inconvenient: Arthur, who cannot serve as a point guard and does not pass the ball.

Because he practiced too late, Xie Jun missed the best "foundation period". He could not surpass Xie Hou and the "Magician" with his talent and became the first 208-centimeter point guard in history.

Not passing the ball is everyone's first impression of him.

Since entering the school, he has represented North Carolina in official games, cup games, training games, averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

With the ball rights he has and the open spaces created by double-teaming created by his own attack power, he only gave out 3 assists per game, which is really a bit less.

"He is like Kobe Bryant before 2008, with the confidence to not pass the ball anyway," the scout commented to him.

If Xie Hou knew about this, he would definitely make a fuss for Kobe.

Kobe just turned on the solo/force mode and couldn't see his teammates, but Xie Jun saw it and didn't want to pass it.

He has his own set of overlord logic: "Why should I pass the ball to someone who doesn't shoot at an open space with my shooting percentage?"

Self-centeredness, that was the idea that Jerry Robert III instilled in him.

He has been like this in three years in high school.

In today's North Carolina, without Dean Smith-like characters, it cannot be conquered the "devil boy".

Xie Jun’s life in Chapel Hill is no different from his life in Rose Hill.

He is the star of the whole school, he is the only core of the team, with unlimited fire rights and the privilege of not passing balls to open teammates.

Except for Wang Hao, no one would let him pass more balls.

Xie Jun played well, and Xie Hou's life was not peaceful.

Every now and then, a reporter came to ask him what he thought of his younger brother.

It was fine at the beginning, but later he couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard someone talking about "Brigi".

Brigie, Brigie, let’s just marry his brother. What are you thinking about when Brigie is always there? Isn’t NBA good-looking? What’s the point of paying attention to a college student who has not entered the league?

In mid-January, the second battle between the Pacers and the Clippers.

Thibodeau is ready to let Xie Hou play for 48 minutes again.

The arrival of injury made Thibodeau's "plan ruined". In the 45th minute, Xie Hou twisted his foot and stopped his data at 34 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists.

At this time, the Clippers have already made it clear that James holds the ball and Westbrook plays the second ball holder.

Last season's scoring champion Anthony is now the Clippers' scoring champion. His average score has dropped to 24 points, and his rebounds and assists have also dropped. Currently, he is only averaging 2454.

There is no way, data decline is inevitable. The little kid from UCL in the company has unusual obsession with rebounding.

Except for the decline in scores, James' other data are still fine.

Xie Hou retreated with injury, and the Clippers, who were leading 4 points, beat the Pacers who had no leader.

In the second battle, they won.

1 to 1, no one killed the opponent twice.

"Although half a season has passed, we are still adapting to each other's existence." James said lightly.

The Clippers have become the only team in history to have scored at least 16 points per game (Bosh is averaging 16 points per game).

Five starters averaged 103 points per game for the Clippers.

This kind of firepower is unique in history,

The starting lineup is a strong character, and it doesn't matter who is sitting on the bench.

No matter whether he is Amacao or Agao, as long as they can average 10 points or more per game, even if they complete the task, if they really can't get points, the main force will be fierce and take charge of all the scores of the entire team.

The second time he failed to sink the aircraft carrier, he almost lost his captain.

The walkers sent Xie Hou to do the inspection overnight, and the whole team was worried.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary sprain.

Xie Hou missed the game, the Pacers won and lost, returned to the end of the month, and had a very impressive state, and announced their return with 50 points.

Subsequently, the list of all-stars in the East and West was released.

It must be mentioned that all the five Tiger Generals of the Clippers were selected as All-Stars.

This is the first time in history that all five teams have become All-Stars of the Season.

Before the vacation arrived, the Pacers' sharpshooter Grenade Allen was in amazing condition.

From the first game against the Thunder in February, he couldn't stop by the young man Stephen Curry's terrifying three-pointer.

It happened that the shark felt a lot better at this time. When he came out to play the game, he ran into Jesus with a hot touch. One shark and the other shark, and the other chasing Jesus and feeding the ball.

The pioneers of the small ball era witnessed the first three-pointer rain in February, but not the last one.

From there, until the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, Ray Allen scored at least four goals per game in a single three-pointer.

His three-pointers are terrible, and his opponents are rising sharply according to his defensive intensity.

If you can defend by increasing the defensive intensity, it will not be terrifying.

The horrible thing is that no matter how they defend, Ray Allen just shoots and doesn't miss three points.

Fortunately, the All-Star weekend allowed Jesus to wait for a long time, and no matter how good he was, he should have stopped.

Until the full weekend arrived, the brave Ray Allen helped Xie Hou to advance at full speed.

In 9 games, the Pacers unconsciously surpassed the aircraft carriers in the West, and their record came to the top of the league.

45 wins and 8 losses

The Clippers, who were once thought to be unable to lose, have also experienced the hardships of running-in. They are currently 44 wins and 9 losses and have always maintained the top spot in the league before.

The strength of the Clippers lies in their dominance over the strong team.

So far, only two strong teams have beaten them, one is the Bulls and the other is the Pacers.

The Lakers, the city's mortal enemy, have been defeated in all three games.

What makes the Clippers lose 9 games is the game that shouldn't be lost.

They are too strong, strong teams tend to be complacent, and they are indeed too young. James is not the kind of control freak who counts on 82 regular season wins and losses.

The Shark has a deep understanding of this: "He is more open to losing than me."

It is James's Buddha nature that allows the Clippers to slowly develop tacit understanding and use the long regular season to find out each other's sensitive areas.

However, James is not eternal Buddha nature either.

If they can't beat the Lakers, Bulls, Pacers..., he will go crazy.

This year's All-Star Weekend, Xie Hou is no longer alone.

As too many stars in the East flock to the West during the offseason, Ray Allen, who has been insulated from the All-Star weekend, became one of the most unwilling All-Stars to be with averaging 17 points and 4 rebounds per game.

If anyone questioned Ray Allen, Xie Hou would use gunfighting to hit the West: "There is an average of 16 points per game and all the All-Stars are selected. Why do you question us who averaged 17 points per game?"

"Ahem!"
Chapter completed!
