Chapter 681: Red carpet

Everyone was very happy to get a good start to the playoffs.
But for Xu Xuan, the intensity of this game... is just average.
Not so scary.
It is true that the first three quarters have been suppressed and beaten, but he did not exert any effort in the first three quarters.
When he exerted his strength, the game ended naturally.
For Xu Xuan, this game is more like an inspection ground.
Test out the strength of your teammates.
Ok.
This is a very important thing.
During the regular season, Xu Xuan knew his teammates almost clearly, but it was still different in the playoffs.
Xu Xuan must know what kind of strength his teammates are.
Such as Russell, such as Ingram, such as Yi Jianlian...
If you don't know the strength of your teammates, it would be too difficult to continue going on.
Therefore, Xu Xuan would rather put the rhythm of the first three quarters to try to test the strength of his teammates and make them familiar with the rhythm of the playoffs as much as possible.
The Grizzlies are hard to fight, but they are not as hard to fight as expected.
Otherwise, how did the Lakers achieve three wins and three wins in the regular season?
It is always unreasonable to win. It is impossible to say that the strength gap is huge, but always wins this situation.
It can only show that the strength of the Lakers is indeed stronger than the current Grizzlies.
Think about it too.
Who is the main force of the Grizzlies now?
Conley is on the outside and Gasol is on the inside.
The others?
No!
Whether it is the old Carter or Wayne Selden, they are just role players. From the perspective of vertical comparison, their strength is not even as good as Russell, Barnes, and Lu Wei.
It seems that Conley and Gasol's combination of one outside and one inside is very strong, coupled with the Grizzlies' usual defensive background, when facing ordinary teams, it is enough to rely on this trick to defeat.
But in the face of the Lakers, this search is really not good.
why.
The first is their lineup, where the strengths are scattered.
And not many points, not strong.
Gasol Jr. has been the league's first center for a while.
The technique, the footwork, and the inside center are all good hands, but how do you say it.
Little Gasol's dominance is not as strong as imagined.
Because he is not a strong offensive player, Gasol can also score, but his main role on the court is to support teammates and defend.
Defense is the strongest place for Gasol.
Offensive and defensive is his label.
Speaking of conscience, Yi Jianlian was suppressed by Gasol in this game, but what about it?
Yi Jianlian's positioning on the Lakers is not offense, but defense and rebounding.
Your little Gasol is great and can't stop me from grabbing rebounds, right?
So, it seems that Gasol suppressed 100%, but it actually suppressed loneliness... because Yi Jianlian is not afraid of you suppressing it.
Therefore, the strength of this little Gasol is not as great as imagined.
The effect is naturally not as good as imagined.
Let's talk about Conley.
Conley is currently the only organizational core of the Grizzlies.
The salary is as high as 150 million.
But when Conley faced Walker and Wall, he might still be able to compete, but when faced with Xu Xuan, he really had more than enough strength.
Can't defend against offense.
It was completely exploded by Xu Xuan.
How to do it......
Although the annual salary is higher than that of Xu Xuan, there is a real gap between this strength and now...
Mr. Conley, who is 150 million, is a little too fictitious.
Gasol suppressed his loneliness on the inside, and Conley on the outside was completely exploded.
The two cores on which the Grizzlies live are all ineffective, how can they win?
Take the lead to win?
Defense?
The defense is good, Russell could not get a point in the first three quarters of their defense.
But so what?
As long as Xu Xuan is still scoring, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to perfectly suppress the Lakers!
Therefore, Xu Xuan really didn't panic, even if he was suppressed before.
This is Xu Xuan's idea.
Facts have proved that his idea is completely correct.
The Grizzlies played a three-quarter advantage, and as soon as he used his strength in the fourth quarter, the man was gone.
Did not receive much resistance at all.
Just one word: virtual!
Now Xu Xuan feels aggrieved that the Blazers did not make the playoffs...Anyway, Xu Xuan felt that if it were the Blazers, the pressure on the Lakers would definitely be greater than that of the Grizzlies.
Because no matter how hard the Grizzlies play, they only get a hundred points, which is not scary at all.
The pioneers can really "kill"!
However, after all, winning the first game is a good thing for the entire team, for the fans, and for the management of the team.
At least their decision is not wrong, this Laker still has the strength to move on.
.......
This is the final battle between the Lakers and Grizzlies.
After the end, it represents the end of the first round of this year's playoffs.
What's different from previous years is that this year there is an extra episode, which is the upcoming awards ceremony.
To be honest, Xu Xuan has never participated in this thing either. I heard that this year I was looking for WWE superstar John Cena to host it.
Xu Xuan didn't know what the officials thought.
Speaking of who refuses to accept it on the spot, come directly to an STF?
Thinking of that picture, Xu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
But from the American perspective, basketball, rugby, wrestling... these things belong to competitive sports.
Are of the same type.
It is also feasible to invite him to preside.
That night, Xu Xuan and Lin Yun flew to New York by plane.
At 8 o'clock in the evening the next day, Curry and James arrived at the scene one by one.
Although the time is in a hurry, how should I say, in the end is the first awards ceremony, everyone will still give this face.
"You played beautifully, Xu." Curry hammered Xu Xuan's chest, "I watched your game, I'm afraid I didn't use half of my strength, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Xuan pushed him away, nodded to James over there, and looked at Curry: "You can't talk nonsense. The adaptation is not a random one. I tried my best in the last game. "
"Pull you down, I saw from the beginning to the end, you didn't even shed a drop of sweat." Curry looked at Xu Xuan contemptuously.
It didn't seem that this person had such a thick face.
James also smiled, but said nothing.
Because the Warriors and Lakers are the kind of teams that can win easily, and the Cavaliers almost lost the first game against the Pacers.
Compared to these two people, James has a lot less confidence.
Everyone walked into the venue while chatting.
It seems that the official attaches great importance to this event. The venue is very tall. Not only that, there are already a row of welcoming guests outside, and even a red carpet that is not too long.
The ritual is good.
Everyone is all dressed up today.
This guy Curry doesn't care about the order, in fact, there is no order. The first one walked into the red carpet, surrounded by reporters from all over the world, holding long guns and short cannons, making it look like a celebrity.
Of course, football stars are also stars, but they are different stars.
When Xu Xuan, Curry, James, Durant and others walked on the red carpet one after another, the whole scene was boiling, and a large number of fans gathered around and shouted.
This is a basketball event.
How to say it, basketball has a lot of influence.
But in fact, in the world, compared to football, it is still a little bit worse. The most important thing is that the basketball awards are quite casual.
But this year is different. The award ceremony was held this year, and it is said that many big names in the industry were invited, and top stars such as Xu Xuan, Curry, and James also came to join in, which made this year's award ceremony very lively.
With the red carpet, there will naturally be interviews.
This time, Barkley and O'Neal were responsible for the interview.
When the two saw Xu Xuan's arrival, they immediately became energetic, especially Barkley, when they saw Xu Xuan walking too slowly, they went forward and hugged Xu Xuan, making Xu Xuan dumbfounded.
Of course, there are explanations at the scene.
On the domestic side, this time is the commentary of Ke Fan and Yang Yi.
Seeing Xu Xuan being hugged by Barkley and running is also unpleasant: "Hahaha, what is Barkley for, robbing people?"
Go directly to grab people.
"Barkley is Xu Xuan's iron fan, a die-hard fan." Yang Yi sighed.
If you talk about the love of Xu Xuan, the Chinese have the most fans, but when it comes to iron fans, the whole world knows that Barkley is Xu Xuan's first iron fan, commonly known as the "dog leg" kind.
Look at it.
After bringing Xu Xuan over, Barkley still "doglegs" helped Xu Xuan straighten his clothes, just like a little daughter-in-law.
Xu Xuan pushed him away dumbfounded, and said hello to O'Neill, and the two sides began interviews immediately.
"Xu, when we came, we saw your fans shouting your name, what do you think?" O'Neill asked.
Xu Xuan took the microphone and said with a smile: "I'm very happy. It's the first time I've come to participate in this kind of event. It's well organized. I saw a lot of fans coming."
"Will this new activity feel novel?" O'Neill asked again.
"It's pretty good. I think I will like this model. This is a brand new model." Xu Xuan said.
"Do you have any predictions in your heart for the next awards?" O'Neill said.
"Is there any prediction? I think Xu MVP is stable."
Barkley said without embarrassment, he finally intervened.
"It's not that easy." Xu Xuan shook his head, "It's not that simple. The MVP is a very important award. I think it's very difficult for me to get it. Russell and James all hope to win this award. of."
Xu Xuan was still humble, thinking again, if he didn't get the MVP this time, he would suffer.
It's not a joke, if he can't get the MVP, his mission can't be completed.
No, it's not impossible. The main reason is that Xu Xuan wants to finish before the finals. In that case, this regular season MVP must be obtained this time!
"By the way, Xu, I also want to ask you, did the Grizzlies feel like a strong team in the game that just ended." O'Neal said.
Obviously, O'Neal is in charge of controlling the field today.
"Of course, the Grizzlies are a very strong team. We played against them in the regular season. Before this round of playoffs, we also had a lot of research on them. This is a strong team. We beat They are also very difficult." Xu Xuan said modestly.
"Then the next few games, will you make any adjustments targeted?" O'Neal asked again.
"I don't see this at the moment. We will continue according to the style of yesterday's game." Xu Xuan said honestly.
The winner has to change?
Change the wool!
"Xu, when Stephen walked here just now, we asked him, and he said that you didn't get five points against the Grizzlies. What do you want to say about that?"
"Fart!" Xu Xuan scolded with a smile: "Don't listen to him, we are opponents who have exhausted all our strength to defeat."
"Also, I strongly suggest that you don't give this person a seat later, just let him stand and listen." Xu Xuan is not good either.
"Hahaha, it's really humorous, Xu, then we won't keep you any more, we will talk to you later, I think LeBron has already waited impatiently." O'Neal also teased by the way and came out behind Xu Xuan. James.
The order of appearance this time is not very particular. Whoever runs fast is in front. Like Curry, he runs the fastest. He is the first, Xu Xuan is second, and James is third.
Saying goodbye to O'Neill and Barkley, Xu Xuan walked into the venue.
In fact, there are already a lot of people inside. After all, not only the big-name players like Xu Xuan are coming, there are also many role players and spectators who have recently bought tickets, but they don't need to go to the red carpet.
Xu Xuan came to the first row and sat down, his name was already placed in his seat.
Xu Xuan sat down and looked. Curry is next to him, James is on the right, Owen and Love are on the right, and Durant and Clay are on the left...
There is nothing special about the seats~EbookFREE.me~ Most of them are familiar or a team of people are all together, but the more interesting thing is that Xu Xuan's position is surrounded by Curry and James.
Xu Xuan didn’t care either. He sat down straight. The organizer was very generous. Although there was no Lin Yun in the first row, the organizer specially reserved a place for Lin Yun behind Xu Xuan’s position so that the two of them could talk. .
This guy Curry had come in early, but he was gone.
Xu Xuan ignored him, and chatted with Lin Yun back.
At this moment, Xu Xuan suddenly heard a rough, low voice in his ear: "Hello, Xu."
The voice was familiar, Xu Xuan looked back subconsciously.
I saw the host WWE superstar tonight, John Cena appeared behind him.
Xu Xuan quickly got up from his seat and shook hands with him: "Hello, hello."
John Cena?
This is an old idol... Xu Xuan is also a person who likes to watch WWE, whether it is in his past or present life.
Nothing else, it looks really good.
Even if you know they are all acting, they still look good...
At the very least, you really can’t learn those movements.
Xu Xuan and him should have met for the first time.
"Xu, I said I wanted to have a meal with you a long time ago. I haven't had a chance. How about it. Is there an appointment at night?" John Cena looked very cheerful.
"At night, it is estimated that there will be an appointment..." Xu Xuan smiled wryly.
It's a real appointment at night.
He can think of how busy he will be at night.
John Cena, this is really no way.
"It's okay," John Cena didn't seem to care at all, and smiled freely: "I know you are a busy person, but you must attend the evening banquet, right?"
