Because the Pacers performed well, the two young core members of the Thunder only led the team to resist two and a half quarters and couldn't hold on.

Oden looks like he can grab rebounds than any inside Pacers, but he can't take all the rebounds.

Curry is the most accurate person in the game with three-pointers. The more he is keen on long shots, the more he relies on the feel. The more he needs the feel, the greater the confrontation the opponent gives him.

He is obviously not ready for the playoff level defensive test.

In the fourth quarter, the competition belongs to the elderly.

Grant Hill led McGrady and others to fight with the Thunder for most of the quarter before going down to rest.

The walkers win easily.

They had a harmonious night, and Thunder fans certainly hoped that they would achieve their first victory against the Pacers sooner or later that day would come, not now.

In the interview that day, Xie Hou listened to the media in Oshi City who blew Curry for a long time.

They let Xie Hou know how special and powerful Curry is, so that Xie Hou thinks that it is not him who plays against Curry on the court, but the reporters in front of him.

When they finished playing Curry, Xie Hou blew Curry as they hoped: "I agree with you. He is becoming my favorite young player. I really like playing against him. He can do everything. He plays so efficiently at that rhythm. It's crazy. He is not the fastest and not the strongest athletic ability, but he has a great basketball IQ. Like Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, he will be a special player. At some point in the future, maybe he can play games that will make us admire, provided he is healthy. My expectation for him is to be the strongest point guard in the league."

After playing Curry, should I blew Oden?

The smaller the city, the more protective the media is. Xie Hou has a deep understanding. When he is not the first in the league, as long as there is any disturbance outside, the media in Yincheng will let those who want to smear him know that some people cannot be damned.

Compared to Curry, Xie Hou had no deep impression of Oden.

In the game just now, he scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 offensive rebounds, and 4 directly made a second attack. He is becoming a mainstay inside core.

If Kevin Durant of the same class had not evolved wildly, perhaps Oden would not have suffered such great criticism.

The current situation is that he is excellent enough, but not good enough compared to Durant.

The strength of the All-Star center, compared with the superstars, and even students of the same level who are moving forward quickly towards super giants, will inevitably give people a huge gap.

"His performance has largely met what people expected of him. His talent is incredible, his technology is comprehensive, and he can do a little bit in almost every way. I think he will evolve into a dominant center because he is born with that ability. At this stage of his career, and at the stage where this team is now, this ability doesn't necessarily shine."

Xie Hou also wanted to talk about other rookies. The fans of Ox City were so friendly to him. There was no trouble in today's game. He was still a respected senior, so it was really hard to criticize or something.

He thought this would be over, and the reporter from Oxford actually asked: "What kind of player do you think he will become in the future?"

"What kind of player will he grow into?" I think this is OK...

It would be great if I could answer that simply.

Xie Hou smiled bitterly and said, "There are many possibilities for this problem. I think his body still has room for improvement. When he finds momentum, his power in the inside is unparalleled, but his skills are not good enough. He is still very young. I think he will make progress in this regard."

It is no less difficult to deal with away reporters than to play a whole game.

Xie Hou said good things so much that his mouth was almost blistered.

New York reporters mocked Oklahoma online with ridicule: "Stop making things difficult for Arthur, he doesn't care how your little geniuses have grown!"

Now, New Yorkers are proud, and Xie Jun's performance exceeds expectations.

He is only 20 years old and has more offensive capabilities than 99% of the players.

According to calculations from various professional media, he may not be able to bring the Knicks back to the playoffs this year, but as long as he is given time to grow, his future is limitless.

In just a few days, Xie Hou heard good news again.

Lin Shen, a player from the U.S. who has been working hard in the Development League for several years, got the NBA contract.

The team that issued the contract was Orlando Magic, and they gave Lin Shen a 10-day short appointment.

The most interesting thing is that within 10 days after Lin Shen signed the contract, the Magic happened to have a match against the Pacers.

In recent years, magic has been deeply trapped in the quagmire of ruins and has to escape.

Last year's draft, Derek Williams, who is currently performing in moderation and looks like he has no chance to realize his college potential.

Papalucas, who dug through the Pacers, joined a hopeless team.

He has a good enough tactical position and the most salary with his strength, but he is not happy at all.

"I began to regret coming here," Papalucas said.

Xie Hou smiled.

Today is January 19th. Currently, the Pacers have 13 wins and 1 losses, ranking first in the league.

Xie Hou met his old friend and asked about his recent situation. The Greeks naturally had to complain.

"You can't get both the team status, salary, and record. Theo, enjoy it." Xie Hou comforted him a few words and asked Lin Shen's near basket, "How is that child?"

Papalucas knew that Xie Hou asked Lin Shen.

"He starts tonight."

"Oh, such a coincidence?"

"The gimmick of the Chinese derby." Papalucas explained why Lin Shen started, "but he is a great player, full of vitality and passion. I think the team will renew his contract with him."

At this time, Lin Shen performed an air-to-touch to the audience.

He is only 172 cm tall and can make this button, which shows how great his physical fitness is.

Before the opening, Lin Shen came over to say hello to Xie Hou and Yao Guan. He had asked him before, and this time he asked several big brothers of the national team to let go with a joke.

"Okay, just come in and dunk, I promise not to block you." Yao Xu teased.

Then, the game began.

The referee threw the ball into the air and they stopped talking and joking.

What is Lin Shen’s foundation in NBA? Xie Hou believes that it is his impact.

If it were to the beginning of the century, with Lin Shen's height, it would be too difficult to play against the NBA. The league's harsh standards are becoming increasingly strict, which is suitable for his small defender who is as fast as lightning.

After playing, Lin Shen's several changes in direction made Xie Hou unresponsive.

The speed is so fast that he has beaten anyone in one step.

It only depends on speed, 7 points, 1 assist and 1 steal in the first quarter, which is pretty good.

In the next quarter, his touch came and he hit a three-pointer.

Section 3, another flash moment.

Xie Hou didn't pay attention to his approaching, he looked too petite.

When Papalucas resisted the tower in front, Lin Shen suddenly reached Xie Hou's back and staged the real jungle law.

Lin Shen successfully attacked and intercepted the ball.

Orlando fans were in high spirits and stood up to witness Lin Shen’s one-handed dunk rushing to the frontcourt.

Lin Shen's performance is just like the magician's performance tonight.

Papalucas played a triple-double, and all the outside shooters were open. Even Derek Williams, who had been so slumbered before, played a masterpiece against the Pacers.

Lin Shen played 25 minutes in the game, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. The Magic defeated the Pacers in an uproar and gave them the second defeat of the season.

At the moment of the game, Lin Shen tore open the jersey on his body and ran away excitedly.

"McCar Lin's ten-day short appointment is about to expire. We don't know if he will stay in the end, but I believe that fans will remember his performance. With a 172-centimeter body, he is an amazing warrior!"

The Magic home announcer said excitedly.

"How do you say it? Losing annoyed me, and seeing Lin Shen's performance made me excited. I was really happy for him." Xie Hou said to the reporter in a complicated mood.

It was a night in Lin Shen.

He expressed his feelings in an interview: "I am satisfied with getting the opportunity to play, especially when I helped the team win, which is better. Obviously, in this league, you never know what the future will be. Maybe you will stay in the team, or you may leave tomorrow, and all you can do is be prepared. You don't know who will play and who will not play, that's why the team has 15 people. So, when someone can't play, you have to stand up. You have to keep working hard, keep training, and keep making extra efforts. When the time is right, make sure you are ready."

Lin Shen graduated for two years and stayed in three Development League teams, and refused many favorable contracts from home and Europe.

His waiting and hard work have won him an opportunity.

The Magic signed him with a short contract of ten days. During the 4 games, Lin Shen averaged 19 minutes per game, scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.4 steals.

The next day, the Magic officially announced that they will renew their contract with Lin Shen until the end of the season.

In this way, for the first time, Chinese players below 180 cm gained a firm foothold.

If it is not considered a Japanese-American in ancient times, the Asian players who had previously succeeded in the NBA were all over two meters long.

Although Japanese defender Tatsuyota has been favored by the NBA, it is just that the alliance wants to explore the Japanese market. Lin Shen and Tatsuyota have a fundamental difference.

The NBA team will not sign him for the so-called Chinese market, because there are already several Chinese in the league. The Chinese market belongs to those shining stars, not to him.

What he can stay depends on strength, not the market, not the luck, not the mercy or charity of others. It is his patience and he strives for it with his strength.

His success not only touched the fans, but also inspired countless Asian players to bravely go abroad and go to the United States to find their dreams.

I’ll give you a ten-day short appointment. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself.

For those players who regard NBA as their dream, even if they can only play for one day, they may give it a try.
