Chapter XVII The Origin of Louis XI
The summer league is very fast, and the defense intensity of both sides is average. Except for Papalucas, basically no one will think about defending people to death.
Xie Hou scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Pacers Summer League team scored 37-26.
In the second quarter, Bain Ruth replaced Shehou for a while.
Xie Hou had no other thoughts, so he went down and rested.
Before the start of the summer league, someone told him that the intensity of the game was not high, which was for rookies to see. After the game, he found that it was true. Everyone had ten chances of fouls, which made the referee's phishing standard more severe than usual, and also reduced the possibility of celebrity players being sent off for too many fouls.
After Xie Hou left the game, the Pacers began to hand over the supervision of the game to Papalucas.
The tall ball holder's control skills are not as unstable as he seems on the surface.
The center of gravity of the dribble is high, but he is good at using his body to protect the ball. His strong body allows him to protect the ball even when facing the pressure of the front line.
The Raptors are mainly talented men, Milicic flies to the sky and escapes, showing the potential of the little prince in the nightclub, showing endless talents and possibilities before, while walkers are mostly fighting power as soon as they are older.
Even the most popular Xie Hou is 23 years old. Papalucas is 3 years older than him. An older rookie of 26 is rare in the summer league. He has made a beautiful all-in contact, but unfortunately he overestimated the jumping power of the Slovenian silly man, and this goal made a mistake.
The opponent will make mistakes. The Raptors want to play a whirlwind-like running and bomb, but their passing skills are not up to standard.
Xie Hou frowned when he saw this ball, but fortunately it was not his teammate who passed this ball.
The rare opportunity to counterattack was wasted, and then Papalucas used his physical advantage to break through and score.
His skills are by no means gorgeous, and his physical fitness is not as explosive as it is, and he can only be considered average in all aspects.
Such an all-round average level is concentrated on a person who is full of fighting spirit and desire to win and is smarter, and can often burst out with extraordinary energy.
This is the luck of the Americans, because in this way, they don’t have to wait until three years later, with an unacceptable failure at the World Championships in Japan to correctly realize how powerful the Greek golden generation represented by Papalucas is.
This is also the misfortune of the Greeks. Papalucas chose to land on the NBA with Xiehou, which is likely to cause the destined showdown to change - Papalucas' NBA journey may make the 03 Golden Generation young men no longer so arrogant in the game against the Greek team.
After all, it was a match in which Xiangbei defeated the Sanwang-style (Greece might win that game in ten games, but it was this game that cut off the championship path of Dream Team).
Then, the geniuses of the Raptors gradually exerted their strength. They rushed vigorously on the field, releasing rare talents among humans, and narrowing the gap one by one.
Papalucas has a comprehensive ability, but he is not a player who changes the situation by offense. The referee's call makes it difficult for him to defend and oppress his opponent to create opportunities for counterattack.
With five minutes left in the first half, Milicic hit the first three-pointer tonight, showing his comprehensive skills while narrowing the gap to 7 points.
47 to 54
The Raptors are catching up.
Ruth finally called out Xie Hou who was almost asleep (the game was lively and actually had no viewing effect - Xie Hou: After I got off the court).
Xie Hou stood up in a hurry, looked at Ruth with wide eyes, wanting to hear what he had to do.
"I give you the greatest autonomy. Can you dominate the game?" Ruth asked.
"This kind of game is not worthy of rule," Xie Hou smiled disdainfully, and then treated the Summer League championship as a birthday cake for the girl. "I promise to win this game and I promise we will become the Summer League champions."
It still tastes the same. If the game had not started and Ruth had not seen Xie Hou's ability, he would be suspicious and disgusted with his crazy words. Now, he really believes that this young man has the ability to do everything he said.
"Go." Ruth just said.
Xie Hou slowly walked to the sidelines and then heard a harsh scream behind him.
"Arthur~~~~!!"
If this was just an ordinary fan, Xie Hou probably could ignore it, but there was a heavy childish voice in this voice, and he was sure it was a scream from a little girl.
So when he looked back, he was such a delicate doll.
Xie Hou showed his gratitude with a smile, then walked onto the court, looking at the 7-point difference and his anxious teammates, and said loudly: "Let's bury them!"
Now against Sherlock is a power forward named Michael Bradley.
The Raptors have no choice but to deal with him. Bradley's only advantage in defense of Xie Hou is his strength. After all, he is a power forward and a power forward at the heyday of the Big Ball era (the end of the Shark's rule). His body and strength are tempered to deal with monsters like Sharks, which Xie Hou can't compare.
But his power cannot erase other gaps between him and Xie Hou.
Xie Hou got the ball at a high position, and Bradley took three steps to let it go.
"You guys are so kind."
Xie Hou looked at Bradley with contempt, then made a jump shot, with a super high jump height and a straight-down straight shot. Albert sighed after watching it: "Can the Earthlings block such a jump shot?"
"Swish!"
56 to 47
"Thank you for giving me such a good shooting opportunity." As soon as Xie Hou finished speaking, he turned around and suddenly turned back to look at Bradley, who was restless. "To express his gratitude, I will continue to shoot at this position next round."
"What did you say?"
Xie Hou didn't answer the question and ran away after he finished squirting.
After Xie Hou appeared, he brought the team not only a reliable offensive player and core, but also a scavenger with comprehensive influence on the defensive end.
He may not be able to dominate the penalty area by his height like Prezek, but he has a height of 204 cm and a 224 cm arm span (even if he plays as a power forward, he is extremely physically qualified), as well as his agile movement ability and excellent defensive sense. With these talents, if he still has a defensive heart, even if he can't become a super big spider like Garnett, "Is it a good thing to come back to pick up defensive rebounds?", he can become a filler that can move wherever he needs it.
Moreover, although he was a little sleepy during the few minutes he sat off the field to observe the Raptors, the reason why he was sleepy was that he devoted too much energy to observe the boring tactics of the Raptors.
He had seen through the opponent's tactical transmission, so he deliberately made a loss in this round, but he broke out from the side, cut off the opponent's pass, and then used defense to turn to offense.
"The basketball court is too small for him!" Albert sighed for the ninth time.
Xie Hou made several big strides to the frontcourt. Because his teammates did not follow him, the one who blocked him was still a 180-centimeter guard in front of him. He didn't even take a look. The king forced his bow and dunked the ball with his hands to score.
58 to 47
"The score difference has come to double digits again."
"This is what happens when a monster like Arthur appears in the summer league."
"This is also the reason why players of Kobe, TD, and kg won't participate in the summer league after becoming famous."
Bradley's eyes fell on Xie Hou and took the initiative to run out to ask for the ball. This position was too far ahead for him.
Xie Hou knew that he had certain shooting ability and did not give him any open positions, so he forced him to take the ball.
Bradley was self-reliant and wanted to crush Xie Hou by weight. As a result, he was fooled by this damn European Emperor Star without taking a few steps.
Xie Hou, who wanted to fight Bradley to the end, suddenly pulled back.
Bradley couldn't find the support point, his body lost his center of gravity, and had to hold back the ball, and he couldn't control his steps forward. He was blown up by the referee on the spot and violated the rules.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xie Hou looked at him mockingly, without saying anything, but can he not be so sarcastic about his eyes?
Xie Hou is not a Bird-like pretender who likes to harm the weak by relying on his mouth. His mouth can only be used to those who he likes and those who he doesn't like. Although he doesn't say too much trash words, every time the other party is stupid, he will use his eyes to make the other party feel that he has been despised endlessly (their feelings are often not wrong).
Pacers serve sideline balls.
Before Xie Hou came on the court, everyone was powerless because the Raptors chased their butts and slapped them.
In these rounds, the Raptors' losses and mistakes were directly and indirectly related to him.
The ball was sent to Xie Hou's hand, and his teammates slowly pulled it away. He raised his hand and pointed it straight at the basket, indicating that he wanted to attack to the end.
Bradley's expression was tense, Xie Hou's three-pointer was unstable, so he opened the space with confidence.
Xie Hou didn't have a three-pointer tonight, he couldn't shoot. Even if the opponent let him go two meters, he ignored the obstacles and dribbled hard.
He couldn't stop his determination to break through with two meters. As soon as Bradley posted it, he heard the other party's whisper - "Do you remember what I just said?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bradley saw Xie Hou's shooting move and jumped up to block the block.
But Xie Hou didn't shoot at all. This was a fake move. He shook Bradley and dribbled into the basket and scored another dunk (Milisic's defense is not as good as air).
"You...you!" Bradley was furious because Xie Hou did not end with a shot as he said.
"I said I would shoot again..." Xie Hou was always happy to tease his opponent successfully. He walked to Bradley and said softly, "But I didn't guarantee that I would do what I said. Your easy trick only means that you are stupid enough, no wonder others."
Xie Hou pulled the score a little bit by bit in a cunning way. Although he verbally said that he was disdainful to dominate the game at this level, his actual actions were exactly the opposite.
As for the series of spiritual destruction on Bradley, he has done it in Europe again and again in the past five years.
