At the end of the first quarter, Yang Xu walked off the stage expressionlessly.
If one wanted to guess the difference in their scores from his expression, it would be impossible.
Because from the beginning to the end, his expression was the same. There was almost no change.
Yang Xu's fate was like a king returning to the city.
Almost all the players on the substitutes 'bench stood up to welcome him.
Yang Xu high-fived them one by one. Originally, these players all had their own unique high-fives.
However, Yang Xu didn't. He simply high-fived.
So everyone started to cater to Yang Xu. They threw away the complicated movements and high-fived Yang Xu one by one.
Even the depressed chandler stood up to welcome Yang Xu.
Even though he was unhappy, Yang Xu's performance was too crazy.
He didn't think he could perform like Yang Xu on the field.
He scored 25 points in a single quarter and had a shooting rate of 9 out of 11. He single-handedly crushed a team's defense.
So far, the number of times he had scored more than 25 points in a single game could be counted on one hand.
Now, Yang Xu had only used one section, and it was still so understated.
Was the gap between the two of them really that big?
While the other person didn't realize it, the other person had already started to realize it.
That was Harrington. In this game, D'Antoni arranged for him to play as a substitute, on the grounds that the game was not important and he should rest more.
In the end, Harrington was happy to accept this arrangement. He believed that he was the most important person in the team.
This was also what General Manager Mills had told him, and he believed it without a doubt.
Seeing Yang Xu's wonderful performance, he did not feel any sense of crisis at all. Instead, he felt very gratified.
"Newbie, well done!"
The conversation between him and Yang Xu was like the attitude of a leader to his subordinates.
He believed that the better Yang Xu fought, the more he could help him.
Yang Xu was a rookie that the head coach had deliberately groomed to assist him.
However, Yang Xu did not pay much attention to him. People who did not work hard were not qualified to receive his attention.
During the intermission break, D'Antoni began to arrange the tactics.
However, before that, he came to Yang Xu's side and said softly,"Yang, the first quarter was too beautiful. Continue to do this when you go on stage and beat them!”
"But later, you have to rest off the field first and play in the second half!”
After that, D'Antoni began to lay out the tactics. Without Yang Xu, the Knicks returned to their original playstyle.
He mainly played inside the paint, and every ball had to be chiseled inside.
Harrington replaced David Lee, and Bennett Robson also came on.
On the other side, the head coach of the 76ers just kept encouraging his players.
"Guys, cheer up! Could it be that a rookie had defeated them?”
"He's not a god, he's just a mortal. There will always be times when he feels cold, and there will also be times when he's exhausted.”
"He's just a rookie. You're all experienced players. Get your minds together. He's not that unbeatable.”
"I believe you can do it. Be excited! Don't let others look down on you!"
The head coach of the 76ers knew that there was a problem with the mentality of his players.
At this time, tactics were no longer that important. What was important was to mobilize his confidence.
It was impossible for a group of players without confidence to win the game.
Even if he was only Yang Xu and could not be stopped, he still had to do this.
Iguodala, as the boss of the team, was the first to stand up.
"Hey, guys, how can we be taught a lesson by a rookie? F * cking pull yourself together. We want to show him what NBA defense is!”
With Iguodala's encouragement, the other players also became a little excited.
Iguodala was supposed to rest at this time, but he chose to continue playing.
As the game began, everyone's eyes were focused on the Knicks 'bench.
In the end, they found that Yang Xu did not go on stage but was resting off the field.
This time, the 76ers felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
Without Yang Xu, the Knicks weren't afraid at all. During this period of time, they had to start chasing points.
The fans were the same. Yang Xu's fearsomeness terrified them.
Their home team had been defeated by Yang Xu alone. With Yang Xu, it would be very difficult for them to win.
Now that Yang Xu wasn't playing, the 76ers had a chance.
However, there were also some fans who felt disappointed when they saw Yang Xu resting off the field.
The second quarter began. The 76ers had the ball.
Lu Wei made the first move, broke through outside the three-point line, broke into the paint, and moved to Iguodala on the outside.
The latter had a three-point gap and easily hit the target.
On the Knicks 'side, they passed the ball to Harrington in the paint, who immediately made a probing move.
A fake shot sent the defender flying. Just as he was about to make a layup in the paint.
The troublesome Iguodala appeared again, almost exactly the same as the ball in the first quarter.
The moment the ball was raised, Iguodala cut the ball.
The ball was knocked to the ground, and Iguodala immediately picked it up and launched an attack in the front field.
He had only run two steps when he vigorously passed the ball to the front field. The camera lens followed the ball to the front field.
It turned out that Lu Wei had already come to the front field. After receiving Iguodala's pass, he took advantage of the three-step basket and easily scored.
This shot was almost identical to the first attack of the Sixers after the game started. The difference was that Yang Xu was on the field for the first time.
But this time, Yang Xu was not around, and the 76ers scored!
