Chapter Thirty - Auburn Hills Unveiled

In five preseason games, the Pacers won a complete victory.

The addition of the new players caused some problems in the Pacers' personnel rotation. Although Xie Hou has not been on the starting list in these games, in Claire's heart, he is one of the five starting points in the new season.

Those who are interested will find that Xie Hou is the most tense and intense every time he plays.

A good goal can help players adapt to confrontation. Sometimes the quality of preseason is not even as good as the summer league. It can be seen as a warm-up match between Na teams. If both sides start to be serious, the players on the court will naturally raise the confrontation to the Na level.

In five games, Xie Hou averaged 20 minutes per game, scoring 11 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Someone started asking: "Why not put Arthur on the starting list?"

This is exactly where Claire is in a dilemma. Before Xie Hou joined, the Pacers had already had a strong team with stable starts in every position.

Previous starters were O'Neal Jr., Artest, Brad Miller, Reggie Miller, and Jamal Tinsley.

In order to revive Kirilenko, the walkers let Brad Miller go for free

In the new season, Kirilenko has locked in a starting roster.

Nothing has changed elsewhere.

If Xie Hou wants to enter the starting list, he has to choose one of the three people outside O'Neal Jr. and Kirilianko.

That is, choose between Artest, Miller and Tinsley.

Artest cannot move;

Miller is the only reliable shooter among the starters;

Then there is only Tinsley who is in the rising period, which will undoubtedly cause controversy. He is unwilling to do so, but he has no choice.

This is the only way.

After five preseason games ended, the Pacers also set a roster for the new season.

Meanwhile, the Pacers, as one of the teams participating in the opening game, will play against the Pistons in Detroit on October 29.

After entering the millennium, Joe Dumas, who had retired and entered the management team, made great efforts to repair the team's branches and leaves.

The deal with Jordan successor Grant Hill was to get a blood loss transaction led by Ben Wallace in an almost low-selling way from the Magic (at that time it was generally believed that the Pistons would follow the old path of the Cavaliers in the early 1980s). The Magic still turned McGrady from the Raptors that summer. The two talented Jordan successors joined forces, who competed with him?

Many people know what happened later, and it will not be described here. As one of the leading figures of the Bad Boys Legion, Dumas is a humble gentleman who is consistent in appearance, but his team-building strategy is completely imitated by the piston that surpassed the Demon Bird God to the top to defend and win.

Starting with Ben Wallace, the Pistons' team building strategy is like the classic star documentary "Chasing Glory", where they pursue the glory of the past.

Dumas adjusted his lineup year after year and established his core. The team always lacked an assassin who killed people and a vanguard who broke the deadlock at a critical moment.

As a result, a deal with the Grizzlies in the late 1990s gave the piston the key to opening the treasure.

The Grizzlies, who had poor record, could only retain their draft picks if they drew the No. 1 pick. As a result, they drew the third pick, so they sent Cameron Anthony, the superstar who dominated the college basketball world, to Detroit, making up for their biggest gap.

When the Pistons selected Anthony, Barkley from TNT Studio exclaimed: "A champion team was born!"

So, when walkers arrived in Detroit, they got a consistent look and countless booing.

There is no unavoidable holiday between the two teams, but the fans are the kind of group that is rampant and loses the power and loses the power.

The weather in Detroit has turned cold in October, with a maximum of 15 degrees Celsius during the day. When they arrived at the Detroit Airport, a large number of journalists were waiting.

Xie Hou was not in a mood to accept an interview. Some reporters wanted to ask him a few questions, but he didn't even look at it. He started playing around the pillar of Qin and successfully got rid of the reporter.

The things that made Xie Hou irritated were not on the court, but outside the court, what happened to him and Wu Ruoxi.

Since that day, their relationship has entered a whole new stage.

Wu Ruoxi became more and more crazy about work. They only had work matters to communicate. Xie Hou found that they suddenly had no common language.

Wu Ruoxi is no longer an ordinary journalist studying in the United States. She is also the planner of a series of columns, just because she is his girlfriend.

Russia's experience tells Xie Hou that if he is bored or resistant to the relationship, he will almost say goodbye.

He took a bus with the team to a hotel he booked early. Xie Hou was so depressed that he hid in his room to surf the Internet. He became more and more like an Internet-addicted young man who didn't like socializing.

Due to some force majeure, the walkers failed to complete the afternoon training on time.

Claire was worried about the team's condition, but they could not find a safe and reliable training ground, so they could only let the players go back to the hotel to adjust themselves.

Xie Hou’s adjustment method is to watch movies, especially those boring movies.

In the afternoon, he watched "Star Trek 2: Khan's Roar" and "Star Trek 3: The Stone" (both from the 1980s). Xie Hou could tolerate that there were no beauties here, or he could accept that there was not even an actor who was handsomer than him (William Shatner suddenly coughed). What he could not accept was the good plot setting of the movie. For some reasons, the impossible was roughly turned into possibility, making the plot far-fetched.

For example, Captain Kirk, the popular character in this series, died in the second part, and he came alive in the third part. This made Xie Hou, who had difficulty accumulating sadness, instantly escape from the story, angrily turned off the player, opened the D disk folder, and deleted all the movies in the "Star Trek" series that were found to be seeds from Pirate Bay.

Xie Hou's brain circuit is different from others. He has accepted Captain Kirk's death, so he cannot survive, even if this person is very popular (ordinary movie fans will only cheer for Captain Kirk's resurrection).

What Xie Hou couldn't understand is that there are many plots like this that have forced the impossible to become possible in order to continue the story.

Since they don’t want this kind of thing to happen, why do they still shoot such a plot? What’s the point?

No one can give him an answer.

When Xie Hou looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock and an hour had passed.

Na team has strict dietary regulations, Xie Hou often treats these things as indifferent, and sometimes has to accept them.

In order to be in a better state tonight, Xie Hou rushed to have dinner.

At about 7:30, Claire summoned his team members and set out for Auburn Hill Palace.

Auburn Mountain is not in the city, but in the suburbs. Fans have to drive an hour to watch the game. Perhaps this is why Detroit fans are far more flammable and explosive than fans in other regions (Who doesn’t explode after going so long to watch the game?).

The Pacers team was almost late, and they hurried to Auburn Mountain and ran into the locker room from outside without any image.

After entering the venue, you don’t have to warm up after entering the venue. You can just take off your outfit and start playing.

After the guests entered the venue, the Pistons fans on the scene gave harsh cheers.

The commentator on the scene, also a legendary star from the Pistons, said: "Our guests have finally arrived. I hope they can bring us a wonderful game tonight!"
