Chapter 32 [Horse hoof disease in the spring breeze]
Praise from a defeated enemy is the highest honor for a winner.
Xia Yin is worthy. He has been holding his breath to prove himself, and since he has decided to play in the NBA, he must be the best one.
This also allowed him to get a terrifying data in the first three games of the Suns, and the Suns also won three consecutive victories.
Of course, this is also because many people don't know Xia Yin yet, and the regular season has just begun, many people and many teams have not yet entered the state, which makes Xia Yin look like a god of war.
Xia Yin himself also knows that as he plays more games and his opponents learn more about him, his data will drop significantly.
In NBA parlance, it’s the rookie wall. In fact, according to my hometown’s parlance, it’s: one big effort, then another, and then it’s all gone.
Rookies have to face many problems, such as the opponent's understanding of themselves, physical problems, ups and downs in form, etc.
These are all factors that lead to poor performance.
But this does not prevent Xia Yin from being proud of the spring breeze now.
After playing against the Magic, the Suns have two days of no games, and then they will face a series of away games.
At the same time, because of Xia Yin's fiery performance, his weight in the media has been increasing again and again. Various media have reported on Xia Yin's crazy NBA start.
American Airlines Center at this time,
Xia Yin just finished a set of training, and Lopez next to him also finished reading several major media reports on Xia Yin.
"Gortat, have you heard the media's praise of me?"
Yesterday against the Magic, Gortat scored 11 points and 6 rebounds. For a former small substitute, this result is already very good. If he is given more time, maybe he can get a double-double, but this has already left him with a double-double.
He is very satisfied.
"I saw the boss, you deserve these praises."
Xia Yin drank a mouthful of cold water and said while chewing wolfberry, while educating his younger brothers,
"Gortat, Dragic, you are second-round picks like me. Lopez, you are not a lottery pick either. You have your brother above you who is always suppressing you.
Barnes, you are just a player that no one wants. Dudley, you entered the NBA last year and performed well in your rookie season, but you were still traded by the Bobcats and they gave up on you.
We are not proud of the emperor, but why do they praise me so much?"
Putting down the thermos cup in his hand, Xia Yin turned around and looked at everyone, "It's because I put up good numbers and the team won, it's because my identity brings freshness to everyone, and it's also because I'm a second-round pick, always a dark horse.
Can attract attention."
"I have won a lot of praise now, but if I perform poorly next, how do you think the media will report it?"
Dragic said calmly, "I will intensify my efforts to belittle you."
"Yes, so just read these reports. Don't be complacent about it. We still have a long way to go. For us, it is more difficult to prove ourselves than those who are proud of the emperor. We have to pay more than them.
Work hard."
Xia Yin seemed to be spreading the flames, "We are a group of people who are not taken seriously, not noticed, and not favored, but we have an unwilling heart, so let's work hard!"
"Prove yourself, once, twice, three times, to the outside world. We are a group of losers now, but in the future we will stand on the highest stage and let them see how good we are!"
"No one is born a winner. They can do it, and so can we, by firming up our hearts and moving forward indomitably."
"In the distant future, when everyone looks back, the money, beauty and honor you desire will be within your reach!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Xia Yin's words encouraged them, which made Nash stunned. Xia Yin, what have you done!
Xia Yin just often makes chicken soup and injects chicken blood into his younger brothers, and instills the idea that my destiny is my own.
It has to be said that these guys, who generally have low academic qualifications, are really easy to coax. Of course, Xia Yin has a unique perspective every time and often uses himself as an example, which enhances the intensity.
Chaine University also offers psychology as an elective, and now it is practiced within the team, which is called applying what one has learned.
Nash endured the feeling in his heart, walked to Xia Yin and said, "Xia Yin, let me tell you some good news. You won the Player of the Week in the first week of this season."
"You got the best of the week!"
Xia Yin just nodded lightly, and the boys next to him immediately looked at Xia Yin with envy.
"No, aren't you surprised? This is the best of the week. Even I haven't gotten it a few times."
Shine looked at Nash, "Steve, my average data in the first three games: 30.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.6 steals and 3 blocks. We also won three consecutive victories.
Coupled with my status, I don’t think Stern will award this Western Conference Best of the Week to someone else. This is expected. Since we already know the result in advance, why should we be surprised?”
Nash's scalp was numb after hearing this, and he felt very complicated now.
Shayne defeated Chris Paul and won the Western Conference Player of the Week, while Bosh was the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. This is an excellent honor for a rookie who has just entered the league.
"Steve, Shaq also won the Player of the Week when he first entered the league. At that time, there were no divisions between the East and the West. His gold content is higher, so there is no need to be too happy about it."
"And you, the honor of the past represents the past. We are very weak now, but tomorrow will always come. When tomorrow comes, we must be able to grasp everything!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Nash looked at the high-spirited newcomers and smiled from the bottom of his heart. He remembered the coach's evaluation of Shain: He will become a legend in the league!
Xia Yin also looked at his younger brothers with satisfaction, Phoenix Suns? No, Phoenix Fireball Team!
We are making great strides towards the alliance. Old guys, are you ready?
In addition to completing the team's daily training, they also focused on completing their own additional training according to Xia Yin's arrangements, which were all aimed at improving their weaknesses and in line with future basketball trends.
After completing the extra training, they each went back to their respective homes. It was already very late at this time. Anyway, they were all substitutes. They didn't have much playing time and didn't need to maintain too much physical strength. So why not practice extra hard?
When Xia Yin returned to his small villa, Bill was sitting on the sofa watching a healthy movie. When he saw Xia Yin coming back, he quickly turned off the TV.
Bill coughed and said, "Xia Yin, Gouzi has increased the amount. They sent a new quotation, but it has not reached the amount we want."
"Then just wait, I have plenty of time, and they will give me the price I want." Xia Yin is quite confident about this.
"The offer from Adidas is already very close to our bottom line. Do you want to consider it?"
Xia Yin shook his head directly, "We can contact Adi, but we still have to choose Gouzi in the end. You can use Adi's quotation to stimulate Gouzi."
Bill nodded, "I understand, leave it to me."
"The second thing is that Twitter has agreed to our proposal. If you join us and invest US$4 million, we can get 5.8% of the shares."
"Originally, I wanted 6%, but they only gave 5.2%. After finally reaching 5.8%, we can no longer negotiate. If you think you can, just sign."
After speaking, Bill took out a contract and said, "I negotiated with the person your brother sent over. He has reviewed the contract and there are no problems. You can sign it."
"Then let's sign. When will we officially move in?"
"One week later."
"Okay, remind me when the time comes."
Bill took out another laptop and said, "This is what your brother gave you. It is the game (Minecraft). Your brother wants you to try it. If there are no problems, it will be released online."
"Are they done?"
After taking over the computer, Xia Yin was very excited. It was great to see something familiar again!
