Chapter 182 People who can't figure it out!
After returning to Indiana, No. 9 took a day off, and tomorrow they will face the challenge from the Boston Celtics at home.
After losing to the Warriors, the Pacers have completed the achievement of "six consecutive kneelings", and two more will be superb.
Before the game, the reporter interviewed Pacers head coach Frank Vogel and asked if Xu Xiang would be replaced in this game as in the last game. Frank frowned and glanced at this man, "Do you think I will leak my tactics before the game?"
After saying this, Frank left in a hurry, not giving them a chance to ask questions, and the reporters who left an empty space with their stomachs full of questions had no chance to ask.
"Xu, there have been several meetings in the team recently." Before Frank came, Nate quietly found Xu Xiang and whispered.
"What?" Xu Xiang turned his head and asked.
"Frank has formally proposed to trade you at the meeting recently. Most importantly, the president has been shaken." Nate's expression was serious. In his opinion, this was no less than a major earthquake within the Pacers.
"President?"
Larry Bird?
No way, Frank is a fool, he can't be a fool, can he?
"Fortunately, the boss didn't speak. He was thinking about gains and losses, but time is running out, and the trade deadline is coming soon." Nate continued.
Seeing that Xu Xiang did not speak but sat there thinking after listening, Nate became anxious: "What are you still thinking about now? The Bucks can think about it." He has already figured out a way for Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang slowly shook his head and said, "Let's see first, Nate. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can't just trade me out so quietly." Although there are a lot of mixed news now, the team officials have never given specific remarks.
What's more, he doesn't believe that the team will trade him at this time. So far, Xu Xiang has averaged 27.9 points per game. In addition, according to the official NBA data, Xu Xiang's votes are still firmly ranked No.1 among Eastern guards. No matter in terms of points per game or votes, Xu Xiang is worthy of an All-Star seat!
Will they trade a "rookie-to-All-Star" player?
Xu Xiang just turned 20 a few days ago!
Soon, the game began. The last match between the two sides was at the beginning of the season. The Green Kai team directly took away the Pacers with a messy three-pointer. Uh, of course, this game is no exception
The Pacers lost to the Celtics at home again, 101-110.
It was quite anxious before the game, but after Xu Xiang was replaced, he made the same problem as when he was on the field, and no one scored!
And Xu Xiang played this game for less than 20 minutes before he was replaced. Although Xu Xiang said that Frank's doing so would not do him any good, he swallowed the words again. It's up to you, you can do as you like.
Compared with a coach with a losing streak, compared to a player who has a losing streak but has a stable performance, let's see who is not sure about this account!
14 points, 2 assists and 0 rebounds, this is the data that Xu Xiang handed over this time. At first glance, this data is really not very good, but if it is combined with playing time, it will be different. 17 minutes, 14 points, 2 assists and 0 rebounds!
"Kneel 7 times in a row!" Achievement achieved!
Xu Xiang reckons that if things go on like this, they may finally equal the losing streak created by the 76ers this season.
After the game, I interviewed Pacers coach Frank Vogel again.
"About Xu's playing time, I don't think I need to explain further. This is the team's tactic. Although it is a pity that we lost the game, I will continue to implement this tactic. I firmly believe in my own ideas!"
This time he didn't hide it, and said what was in his heart.
"Continue to implement?" Xu Xiang sat at home and watched the news with a sneer, and said it was a tactic. Why didn't you change the tactic when it was inappropriate?It has been like this for two consecutive games, and now outside fans, including media reporters, are speculating whether the Pacers have a "general discord" problem, and the fans in Indian City are most affected by this rumor.
They finally found a "new savior", but they didn't expect this savior to be at odds with "God", so what should they do!
"Our team has had internal problems recently, and I'm trying to solve them, hoping to find a solution." Frank added, he said that he was trying to solve the problem, but it seems that the person who is creating the problem is himself!
On January 1, the Pacers challenged the Nets in an away game. They thought it was a close game, but unexpectedly, it was in the third quarter again, and the result of the game was decided!
91-101, the Nets won by 10 points!
Xu Xiang played 15 minutes in this game, which was less than the previous game, but he still scored 12 points, 0 assists and 0 rebounds efficiently. He didn't have much playing time. If you ask me to pass the ball again, aren't you kidding?
"Eight consecutive kneels"!
On January 1th, the Timberwolves challenged the Pacers away. The Timberwolves have always been the bottom teams in the league. Therefore, Frank made an important decision in this game!
"This game starts: George Hill, Donald Sloan, CJ Miles, West, and Hibbert." As soon as Frank finished speaking, everyone, including the coaching staff, was stunned.
Xu Xiang was kicked out of the starting lineup?
Xu Xiang is on the bench?
As soon as the news came out, the home fans quit, "Bring back our Xu, you are insulting him!"
"You are not worthy of coaching Xu, you are only worthy of coaching these people!"
"It's the same when George is here, you are a hopeless coach!"
"Strongly urge Frank to step down!"
"protest!"
"protest!"
There was an endless stream of voices, but none of them could shake his determination!
In fact, he has no objection to letting Xu play as a substitute. After all, he played from the bench. Besides, it is the same to bring the main force with the substitute, and he is not angry. But when he played as a substitute, the time was not as good as that of Solomon Hill. He only played for 11 minutes.
"Xu, do you still want to endure it? Let me beat up some son of a bitch." Hibbert angrily walked to Xu Xiang's side, and said angrily.
"Don't worry, Roy, the matter hasn't reached that point yet." Xu Xiang stopped him, and he decided that if the next game is still like this, he will directly bring it up, and there is no need to bear it anymore!
