While Xu Yong and his friends were celebrating wildly, Belles and his friends had already left the outdoor court.

But because there were so many people, they were pushed more than ten times and bumped seven or eight times before they could squeeze out.

"I told you we shouldn't have come!" Hill complained.

During the training session this morning, they learned that the Devils beat the Sooners, and also learned some of the content of the game, such as Xu Yong's dunk over Griffin.

They were all shocked when they heard it. In addition to being shocked, Bayless proposed to come to Tempe to test the strength of the Devils team.

He refused at that time, because it would be better for them to watch the next Devils home game.

But Bayless finally convinced him, saying that the next Devils home game would be in a week and that playing baseball would give him a more complete understanding of his opponent.

Now the result is that they have been severely humiliated, and in front of so many people.

Although most of the people present were students from Arizona State University, there were also quite a few people from outside the school. This was really embarrassing for them!

"Jordan, don't worry about winning or losing, we have achieved our goal." However, Belles was not angry because of what Hill said. Instead, he had an expression of great gain.

"What?" Hill looked like O'Neal with a question mark face.

"James Harden and Xu Yong, we already know the skills of the two new players of the Devil's team." Belles replied.

Hill just smiled when he heard this. They just played one game with three people on the opposite side.

At this time they had already arrived outside the school, and the group found a place to chat while waiting for a taxi.

"Harden has a good passing vision, but his passing is risky, which makes it easy to make mistakes during the game; his back-to-the-basket play relies entirely on his weight, and his turning speed is too slow, so he is easily intercepted when he is double-teamed. In addition, he is a left-handed player, and we know this and can defend him better." Bellers continued.

Hill was surprised by Belles' analysis, but he was soon relieved. The reason why Belles could become their "leader" in his freshman year was not only because of his excellent ability on the court, but also because of his outstanding basketball IQ.

"His lateral speed is not fast, and he can't keep up with Jerry one-on-one. He can easily become a defensive loophole when encountering pick-and-rolls. This is fatal for a guard." Battinger added at this time.

Budinger's basketball IQ is also excellent. Of course, in addition to this, what is more important is that he did not score a single point in the third game and acted as an SVIP spectator on the court on the offensive end.

"As for Xu Yong, his jumping and jumping speed are indeed better than I expected. We also don't know about his body flexibility and confrontation. But his weaknesses are also obvious. He can't shoot, or he is not good at shooting. In this regard, he is far inferior to Chase." Bellers said and looked at Battier.

Not only does he have excellent basketball IQ, he also scored full marks in emotional intelligence.

Of course, this is also true. Badinger is far inferior to Xu Yong in confrontation and speed, and Xu Yong's confident playing style directly dazzled Badinger.

But as he said, Batinger is more comprehensive, especially in outside shooting. Batinger can shoot nearly 40% of three-pointers.

This makes a huge difference throughout the game.

Even from a tactical perspective, they can completely give up Xu Yong's three-pointers in the regular season and double-team Harden, which would take advantage of the Devil's two weaknesses!

Badinger felt much better after hearing this. Even though he was the most embarrassed person today, it was just a baseball game after all.

Hill nodded at this time. They would pay back double the anger they suffered in Tempe today at home one day.

…

More than half an hour later, Xu Yong and his team finally left the outdoor field.

It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but the student fans are too enthusiastic after they win.

Of course they also enjoy that feeling.

"It's so cool!" Ayers couldn't help but shout excitedly after coming out.

The Devils' two wins last season were ugly, but in fact, the five wins the season before that were also ugly, and they did not win a single game against the Wildcats for two consecutive years.

And Ayers was there for both of these seasons.

So after seeing hope, he was more excited than anyone else.

Xu Yong and Harden also looked happy.

It would be really cool if I could lead the Devils to suppress the Wildcats in turn, just like the Clippers suppressed the Lakers.

When they returned to the dormitory, Kuksicks had gotten a new Xbox 360 from somewhere, which contained the latest NBA 2K8.

There is a TV in the dormitory, and you can connect your Xbox360 and play games directly.

This made the team members, who were already in a good mood, even more excited.

2K7 is a landmark product in the 2K series. It not only added the street mode for the first time, but also added details such as players sweating. It was also the first time that the portrait rights of all NBA players were obtained. As its sequel, 2K8 is naturally very popular.

Moreover, the picture quality of Xbox360 is greatly improved compared to Xbox, and the experience is full.

Everyone had a great time, but no one chose the Celtics, and they became the target of everyone's complaints.

It's really because of what they did this past summer that had such a huge impact.

Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, the league hasn't seen this kind of "super team" for a long time.

"It's so unfair for other teams to form a team like this."

"They are taking shortcuts, and the value of this championship is greatly reduced."

"I feel sorry for LeBron. He led his team to the finals last season and had a good chance of winning the championship this season."

…

It was after eight o'clock in the evening when the team members dispersed one after another.

"Why is it still here?" Xu Yong asked, pointing at the Xbox 360 in front of the TV.

"Hades said he bought it for you." Harden was already lying on the bed resting.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Kuksix was afraid that he would not accept it, so he waited for such an opportunity.

"Xu, what do you think?" At this moment, Harden suddenly sat up again.

"What?" Xu Yong looked confused.

"Celtics." Harden reminded. He had not seen Xu Yong playing Xbox 360 before, nor had he seen him express his opinion.

"There's nothing to say." Xu Yong shook his head and stood up.

"How come?" Harden was puzzled.

"It's normal for the core players of the three bottom-ranked teams in the league to team up for one last fight at the end of their peak." Xu Yong walked in front of the TV.

"But these three are core players, and this has never happened before," Harden reminded.

"No, in 1996, Barkley went to the Rockets and teamed up with Olajuwon and Drexler, but they lost to injuries. The average age of the Celtics' three core players is only one year younger than them. They have the same age and injury risks." Xu Yong said as he had started collecting Xbox360.

Harden was silent for a while, but still shook his head: "I still think this is not fair to other teams."

"They paid with the assets accumulated by the team for several seasons and overdrawn the future to build such a team. Danny Ainge chose to take a big gamble." Xu Yong put away the Xbox 360 while speaking.

That was indeed a gamble. If it weren't for the goat-level assist from Nets general manager Billy King, the Celtics would have entered a rather long period of rebuilding when the Big Three grew old.

Harden thought for a while and nodded. Whether it was Ray Allen or Garnett, the Celtics paid a huge price to get them.

"So do you think they will succeed?" Harden asked.

"Yes." Xu Yong has already started changing into training clothes.

"reason?"

"It's still Danny Ainge. He trained and retained the two best young players, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins. They will have a very balanced starting lineup, which is what the Rockets team did not have." Xu Yong said as he started putting on his shoes.

Harden nodded. The three core players of that Rockets team were all in the frontcourt, and they were top-heavy. What Xu Yong said did make sense.

"Besides..." Xu Yong put on his shoes and stood up, "There is no Michael and his Bulls in this era."

Harden was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.

This is true. Now the first and second players in the league, if one's team is not strong enough or one's personal strength is insufficient, it will be difficult for them to achieve the kind of dominance that Jordan and the Bulls had.

It was at this moment that Harden noticed that Xu Yong was going out. He couldn't help but ask in astonishment: "You're going to train tonight?"

Xu Yong nodded. He had to practice three-point shooting as much as possible.

The invitational tournament will last about two months, which means there are still two months before the regular season actually begins.

He has to stabilize his three-point shooting within two months, which is not an easy task.

Today's performance on the outside of the wild ball team further reminded him.

He took the Xbox 360 and left the room.

"Crazy!" Harden couldn't help but complain again, then lay down on the bed.

The entertainment game turned into a quality game, and the consumption was no less than a high-intensity training. Xu Yong actually had to train, which was even crazier than the training the day after the game.

But he soon became confused again. If it was for training, what would Xu Yong do with the Xbox 360?
