On October 18, the preseason will officially start.

The Pacers' first preseason opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Dwyane Wade.

The failure to draw the No. 1 pick at the lottery five months ago made the Clevelanders miss the son of Akron. They tried to trade upwards. The arrogance of the New Yorkers can be described as stupid. Isaiah Thomas also claimed that James was not the best player in the 2003 class.

However, no matter who the No. 1 pick is in this year's hand, the Chosen Son is a player that cannot be missed.

The Cavaliers tried to trade the No. 5 pick with the No. 1 pick for Szebiak or Jason Terry's future draft pick. The Knicks believed that this was an immature plan and rejected it on the spot.

After many attempts, the Knights chose to accept their fate. The heroes who were most suitable to save the city were destined to be out of their way, so they had to choose Wade.

Soon they will find out that this choice is actually not bad.

Last season, the Cavaliers suffered injuries and simply played the top pick. Unfortunately, all the bad skills in the Eastern Conference were better.

Now they can put up the starting lineup of Wade, Terry, Szebiak, Boozer and Big Z.

They played very seriously in this preseason game and didn't think about doing it perfunctorily from the beginning.

This is also Xie Hou's first NBA game in the strict sense, and he was not included in the starting roster.

Claire reminded him in advance that preseason is mainly about inspecting role players, and he will not get too much playing time, but he will definitely let him experience the NBA confrontation in advance.

Xie Hou thought Claire was kind, and he was also waiting for the head coach who looked like Jim Carrey to show kindness to him (actually Xie Hou always felt that Jim Carrey looked like a horror movie - many years later, Jim Carrey's image in the comedy "Joke" became an lingering shadow in his forties.ps: But that's a comedy!).

However, Claire not only did not show kindness, but instead surrendered to cruelty.

Artest was particularly good at raising fire, and he successfully jumped up the anger of the Cleveland people.

It was the most anxious thing on the court, and the two sides wanted to kill each other the most, Xie Hou came on the court.

Since the game location is a neutral venue, no one except the Pacers fans knows what kind of abilities this innocent Asian student has.

The commentator's sentence "The anticipated European Emperor Star is finally going to be replaced" made the audience very puzzled.

Emperor Star? Not everyone can have such a nickname.

Waiting for the time to die, Xie Hou was replaced.

He replaced Kirilenko, who was put into the starting lineup by Claire.

Kirilenko reminded: "They play really, don't be careless."

"Look at my performance." Xie Hou smiled faintly.

At the beginning, Xie Hou was not very used to the rhythm of the NBA preseason, and the intensity of the confrontation was greater than expected, and his opponent felt very good.

No matter who comes, Szebiak will shoot three points at the start and kill the gods when he sees them.

Usually when encountering a player in such a good state, Xie Hou will find a way to give him a rough foul to make him sober and not continue to commit crimes.

Although Szebiak is the only person on the field who can compete with him in terms of appearance (why do you have to make things difficult for handsome guys), Xie Hou values ​​victory or defeat more than appearance. Therefore, his foul on Szebiak is rude and barbaric, which is in line with the resume of "This person comes from Russia".

When Szebiak was fouled heavily by Xie Hou, the Cavaliers' team screamed in pain. He glared at the unruly rookie in anger, wondering why he wanted to take this evil move.

Then the following conversation happened:

"Sorry, are you okay?" (concern)

"You almost slapped my hand, what do you say?!" (Emotionally)

"Your hand hasn't broken yet?" (disappointed)

"I!%￥!#￥" (gradually vulgar)

Because Szebiak's teammates remained quite calm, the game did not completely lose control, and Xie Hou's insidiousness and cunning also appeared initially.

"Larry said he is Magician II. Have you ever seen Magicians commit such a foul on their opponents?" Claire was not saying that Magicians would not commit evil devils on their opponents, but he was sure that the legend who entered the league with a dazzling aura would never make a big fight in a preseason game.

Xie Hou didn't want to be the second magician, and he had to prove this from the beginning of this game.

The training camp in Cincinnati made Xie Hou play No. 6 for more than ten days. He still needs to get used to it. Practical combat is the best training ground. Claire wants to know how he will play his role in actual combat.

In the positional battle, Xie Hou was also responsible for dribbling through the half, but he was not the Pacers' only ball-holding core.

Artest can attack, and O'Neal Jr. is even a strong inside line with 20 points per game. This is why Claire knows that King Arthur, who holds the ball, is the king of Europe, but still doesn't let him hold the ball in large quantities.

He is a rookie and he needs time to let his teammates recognize his strength.

If he can't convince his teammates, he can't be the core of the ball.

Therefore, the setting of the sixth position is the most suitable positioning for the current Xiehou.

When he fell to the low post, Xie Hou forced Szebiak to take on his back. The scene was cruel and insincere. His body kept invading the latter's position, forcing his teammates to pass the ball.

Xie Hou's low-post offense was extremely rough, but the moment he took the action to end was different from the ordinary outside and the traditional inside.

Xie Hou knocked Szebiak's body away, and then hooked the ball straight with his 224 cm long arm, which was not even considered a hook.

It was like jumping up straight arm to throw it in place. Due to his height and wingspan, and his previous collision with Szebiak's position, the latter had no other way except to watch.

"Swish!"

"A wonderful low post attack, Arthur is well-deserved!"

This was the most anxious and intense time on the court. Xie Hou's adaptability speed exceeded the team's expectations. He retaliated against Szebiak when he came to the home court, and then attacked the opponent's confidence again after a low post.

In the next round, he played psychological warfare with Szebiak, and the smile on his face made the latter think that a rough foul would come to him again.

He knew that Xie Hou didn't care about his foul numbers, after all, it was just a preseason game.

He was afraid of the catch, and then the loss of his hand.

The craziest move that Xie Hou made was to empty the outside line, Szebiak, who assisted the defense and completed the block in the inside line, grabbed the rebound, and advanced with a big step forward with the ball and Artest dunked the ball.

The neutral audience at the scene turned against the Pacers in an instant.

Although Wade also performed wonderfully, Xie Hou became the player who controlled the situation.

In this game, Xie Hou only played for 24 minutes, efficiently scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Chapter completed!
