While Xu Yong and the others were celebrating wildly, Bayless and the others 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 were squeezed out.
"I told you we shouldn't have come!" Hill complained.
During the training session this morning, they learned the news that the Devils defeated the Sooners, and also learned some content of the game, such as Xu Yong dunking on Griffin.
They were all shocked when they heard it. After being shocked, Bayless proposed to come to Tempe to try out the Devils.
He refused at that time, because it would be better for them to come and watch the next Devils home game.
But Bayless finally convinced him that the next Devils home game would be in a week to get a more complete understanding of the opponent.
The result is now good, they were severely humiliated, and in front of so many people.
Although most of the people present were students from Arizona State University, many were members of society outside the school. They were so embarrassed!
"Jordan, don't worry about winning or losing, our goal has been achieved." Bayless was not angry because of what Hill said. Instead, he looked like he had gained a lot.
"What?" Hill asked with an O'Neal question mark on his face.
"We already know the skills of James Harden and Xu Yong, the Devils' two new players." Bayless replied.
Hill just smiled when he heard this. They just played a game with three people on the opposite side.
At this time, they had arrived outside the school, and a group of people found a place to chat while waiting for a taxi.
"Harden's passing vision is very good, but the passing is risky, which makes it easy to make mistakes in the game; his post-up singles rely entirely on his weight, his turning speed is too slow, and he can easily steal the ball when encountering a double attack. In addition, On top of that, he's a left-handed player and we know that so we can guard him better," Bayless continued.
Bayless's analysis surprised Hill, but he soon felt relieved. Bayless became their "leader" in his freshman year not only because of his excellent court ability, but also because of his excellent golf intelligence.
"His lateral speed is not fast, and he cannot keep up with Jerry one-on-one, and he can easily become a defensive vulnerability when encountering pick-and-rolls. This is very fatal for a defender." Budinger also added at this time.
Budinger's golf IQ is also very good. Of course, in addition to this, the more important thing is that he did not score a point in the third game and acted as an SVIP audience on the offensive end.
"As for Xu Yong, his jumping and speed are indeed better than I expected, and his body flexibility and confrontation are also things we don't know, but his weaknesses are also obvious. He can't shoot, or Said he is not good at shooting, in this regard he is far inferior to Chase." Bayless said and looked at Budinger.
Not only does he have excellent golf intelligence, but he also graduated with perfect scores in "Emotional Intelligence".
Of course, this is also true. Budinger is inferior to Xu Yongshao in terms of confrontation and speed. Coupled with Xu Yong's confident playing style, Budinger was directly stunned.
But as he said, Budinger is more comprehensive, especially in terms of outside shooting. Budinger is a player who can shoot close to 40% of his three-pointers.
The difference in the overall game is huge.
Even from a tactical perspective, in the regular season, they can let Xu Yong's three-pointer go to flank Harden. This will capture the Devils' two weaknesses!
Budinger felt much better after hearing this. Although he was actually the most embarrassed today, it was just a wild game.
Hill also nodded at this time. The anger they suffered in Tempe today will be repaid twice as much at home tomorrow.
…
More than half an hour later, Xu Yong and the others finally left the outdoor field.
It's not that they don't want to leave, but that the student fans were too enthusiastic after winning the game.
Of course they enjoy that feeling too.
"It's so cool!" Ayers couldn't help shouting excitedly after coming out.
The Devils' two wins last season were ugly, but five wins the season before that was ugly, too, and they were winless against the Wildcats two years in a row.
And Ayers was there both seasons.
So after seeing hope, he was more excited than anyone else.
Xu Yong and Harden also looked happy.
It would be really cool to lead the Devils to suppress the Wildcats just like the Clippers suppressed the Lakers.
When they returned to the dormitory, Cooksix got a new Xbox360 from nowhere, which also contained the latest NBA2K8.
There is a TV in the dormitory, and an Xbox360 can be connected to it to play directly.
This made the team members who were already in a good mood very excited.
2K7 is an epoch-making product of the 2K series. It not only added street mode for the first time, but also added details such as players sweating. It was also the first time to obtain the image rights of all NBA players. 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 playing, but no one picked the Celtics, and it became the target of everyone's complaints.
It's really what they did this past summer that had such a huge impact.
Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, the league has not seen such a "super team" for a long time.
"For other teams, this way of forming a team is too unfair."
"They are taking shortcuts, and the gold content of such a championship is greatly reduced."
"I feel sorry for LeBron. He just led the team to the finals last season and had a good chance of winning the championship in the new season."
…
It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that the team members dispersed one after another.
"Why is it still here?" Xu Yong asked, pointing to the Xbox 360 in front of the TV.
"Hades said I originally bought it for you." Harden was already lying on the bed to rest.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Cooksix 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 expressed his stance.
"There's nothing to say." Xu Yong shook his head, then stood up.
"How could that happen?" Harden was puzzled.
"It's normal for the cores of the three bottom teams in the league to form a team for a last-ditch effort at the end of their peak." Xu Yong walked to the TV.
"But the three of them are core players, which 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 cores was only one year younger than them. Years old, they have the same age and risk of injury." Xu Yong said, already starting to receive the Xbox 360.
Harden was silent for a while, but still shook his head: "I still think this is unfair to other teams."
"They paid for the assets accumulated by the team over several seasons and overdrawn the future to form such a team. Danny Ainge chose a huge gamble." Xu Yong had already put away the Xbox 360 as he spoke.
It was indeed a big gamble. If it weren't for the goat-level assists from Nets general manager Billy King later, when the Big Three get old, the Celtics would have entered a very long period of reconstruction.
Harden thought for a while and then 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 then asked.
"Yes." Xu Yong has already started to change into training clothes.
"reason?"
"It's Danny Ainge again. He has developed and retained two of the best young players, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins. They will have a very balanced starting lineup. This is that team. What the Rockets don't have." Xu Yong said, already starting to put on his shoes.
Harden nodded. The three cores of that Rockets team were all in the frontcourt and were top-heavy. What Xu Yong said does make sense.
"And..." 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, then laughed.
It is true that the first and second players in the league now, if the team is not strong enough, and if the individual is not strong enough, it is difficult for them to achieve the dominance of Jordan and the Bulls.
It was then that Harden noticed that Xu Yong was going out. He couldn't help but asked in shock: "Are you going to train at night?"
Xu Yong nodded. He had to practice three-pointers quickly.
The invitational tournament will last about two months, which means there are still two months before the regular season actually starts.
He has to practice three-pointers stably within two months, which is not an easy task.
Today's performance on the outside line of the wild ball further reminded him.
He took the Xbox 360 and left the room.
"Crazy!" Harden couldn't help but complained again, and then lay down on the bed.
The entertainment bureau turned into a quality bureau, which was no less consuming than a high-intensity training session. Xu Yong actually had to train, which was crazier than training the day after the game.
But he soon became confused. What would Xu Yong do with the Xbox 360 during training?
