Chapter 53 [Change destiny, there are always surprises]
As the old saying goes: Don’t get carried away when you are proud, but be more cautious.
The team is going smoothly, and even Hill, who had to rest for a long time due to bumps and bruises in the past, has remained healthy this season.
This is mainly because Xia Yin helps him share the burden of defense and can help him contain the opponent's defender.
Schein freed up Hill's offensive power and sustained combat capabilities, allowing his statistics to rise a lot since the start of this season.
Stoudemire's previous injury was just a sprained foot, and he was fine in five days.
The team is in great shape and the future is full of hope.
However, if nothing goes wrong, there will be an accident soon.
After the Suns achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss in the last three games of 2008, they came to Houston, Texas.
The Suns challenged Mosaic away from home. Xia Yin met Dayao again and the two had a meal together again.
"I haven't thanked you yet. Allen is adapting to the NBA now. You have given him a lot of help."
Speaking of this, Dayao was very emotional, but he seemed a little more relaxed.
"I also hope to see the rise of Tianbi Basketball. Allen is a good person, he just needs some guidance. It will be good if I can play a role. He still relies on himself."
Dayao shook his head, "His boring gourd, it depends on him when he can adapt to the NBA. He is now in the period of rising goals. If he misses it, the future will be much bleak."
Xia Yin just smiled.
"Have you thought about it?" Xia Yin asked Dayao.
"I have negotiated with the men's basketball team. Except for the 2010 World Championships, I will not participate in any competitions in the next two years. It's just a pain for Allen."
Xia Yin smiled and said, "He is still young and needs training."
Dayao gave him a look, aren't you young?
"As for losing weight and recuperating from injuries, I'm doing it now. Don't mention it, I feel pretty good after losing weight."
"Are you stressed?" Xia Yin asked.
"There must be pressure. After all, Mosaic needs me to resist people on the inside. I clearly refused them, and there was nothing they could do."
"Then you want to leave Mosaic?" Xia Yin was very curious.
"I don't know. I want to wait until the end of this season before considering this matter. After all, it has been seven years since 2002."
Xia Yin nodded and concentrated on cooking without asking any more questions.
What Dayao needs now is an excuse, and he also needs time to prepare. After all, he represents more than just himself, and he must consider things more comprehensively.
However, Xia Yin is still very happy. He has reduced the consumption of low-level games, coupled with weight loss and now reduced playing time, Dayao is at least on the right path.
His words still had an effect, just like after Christmas when the Warriors and Bucks traded for Yi Jianlian, Shain has changed their present.
There is only so much he can do. As for what the future holds, it still depends on them.
The next day is also the last day of 2008.
The Suns challenged Mosaic away from home. This game was not broadcast live in the United States, but China Sports Channel broadcast the game live.
"Welcome to watch this game between the Suns and the Lakers. I am the commentator Yu Jia, and I am the commentator Zhang Weiping."
"Teacher Zhang, have you paid attention to Xia Yin's big sneaker contract? 90 million in 5 years, this is really a big contract!"
Teacher Zhang said with a smile and a gentle tone, "You can't think of it that way. I think Barkley is right. Xia Yin has a dual identity. He has many fans. Coupled with his basketball talent, this shows that Nike is optimistic about his future.
."
"Speaking of it, it's like a player on our side. If you have Jaylen's talent and Allen's future, what kind of big contract do you think such a player can get?"
Yu Jia also smiled, "After hearing what you said, I understood. Xia Yin is very rare and extremely valuable."
"Yes, in addition to these, he is also of Chinese descent and can compete for the Asian market in North America and the Asian market. I think Nike has made an extremely good decision on this point."
The two of them were gossiping and talking about the game. Teacher Zhang even mentioned Kobe, praising Kobe for his big game.
The game on the field is also going on quietly.
At the beginning, it seemed that Mosaic had not yet entered the state. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns opened up a 7-point gap.
After Xia Yin came on the court, Tracy McGrady was obviously much more energetic, and even his eyes that had been unable to open all year round lit up.
Not only Tracy McGrady, Mosaic's point guard Alston, who came to the NBA from a street player, became much more aggressive when facing Nash.
Mosaic offense, Shain and Hill double-teamed, and after directly covering McGrady, Shain picked up the ball and rushed forward.
But behind him, Alston and McGrady directly surrounded Hill. Hill was a good gentleman, but Alston pushed him directly.
There was a "bang" sound, and Xia Yin had just landed after dunking, when he saw that there was almost a fight in the backcourt.
Dayao came out from the inside and separated the three of them with O'Neal, but McGrady and Alston seemed a little unhappy.
Just seeing Xia Yin running over, the two people fell silent for a moment. They didn't think they could compare to Gout and Mason. What happened to those two...
Just thinking about it makes you shiver.
"Mr. Referee, don't let things happen unexpectedly."
This referee is easy to talk to, and he may have received a signal from his superiors, "Shine, just play your game well, I will pay attention to it, and the previous accident will not happen again."
Xia Yin nodded and said nothing more.
But only 2 minutes passed...
During an attack, Alston passed the ball to Tracy McGrady. As soon as Shain wanted to start, he was blocked by Artest.
Alston, on the other hand, got entangled with Nash and even pushed Nash.
The referee's whistle sounded and he was given a foul. The guy refused to accept it and cursed, and so did McGrady. Hill was about to step forward and pull Nash up, but accidentally bumped into McGrady.
McGrady pushed Hill down, but he didn't expect Alston, who was next to him, to hit Hill with his foot. Immediately afterwards, Xia Yin heard Hill's scream, and he rolled on the ground holding his knees.
Xia Yin roared angrily, "Damn it!"
Artest's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately backed away and hid far away.
Xia Yin ran forward, grabbed Alston's jersey with one hand, and grabbed McGrady with the other hand. He yelled and lifted them both up.
The referee blew the whistle desperately, and Nash stood up from the ground and ran over to tell Xine to stop.
The two people slapped Xia Yin's hands wildly. They were already halfway off the ground. They were really scared this time.
Artest swallowed his saliva when he saw this scene. Fortunately, he stayed away and did not act impulsively.
O'Neill also stepped forward to persuade him, and Xia Yin let go of the two guys, and they ran away as soon as they landed.
After putting the two people down, Xia Yin glared at them and said, "Play hard and I will do it to whoever is looking for trouble!"
The two of them nodded desperately, fearing that Xia Yin would rush up and give them a "love meal", which would be too miserable.
