The second half started with the score at 53:59, with Barkley trailing by six points.

Barkley's ball, Rubio pushed the ball to the frontcourt, first glanced at Xiaoka, and Xiaoka played very well in the second quarter, plus the coach's remarks just before the game, the meaning is already obvious, He trusted Xiaoka and wanted Xiaoka to dominate the game.

Another point, at this time, the Barkley team is on Davis, Xiaoka, Bill, Shevid, and Rubio himself.

Rubio is very clear that his task is to organize the offense, Shevede's task is to be a pitcher, Davis is in charge of the inside line, and it is Xiaoka and Bill, especially Xiaoka, who really dominate the offense.

So when he got to the frontcourt, he immediately looked for Xiaoka.

However, Xiaoka did not ask for the ball, but pointed at Davis and motioned Rubio to pass the ball to Davis. Rubio nodded and passed the ball to Davis.

This time, Davis didn't shoot outside. After getting the ball, he used a crossover, changed direction and accelerated to pass the defender, hugged the ball and rushed inside.

At this time, the O'Neal team was Nicholson, Parsons, Klay, Lillard, and Irving, the tallest and the only insider Nicholson had been passed by Davis, when Davis rushed in Inside, others can only get out of the way.

Bang!

Davis made a dunk with one hand, and the difference became 4 points.

O'Neal attacked, Irving advanced with the ball, and after reaching the frontcourt, he made a breakthrough.

In the first half, Owen was O'Neal's top scorer. He was undoubtedly the core of O'Neal's team. Davis wanted to take him on. Unfortunately, Owen was very clever. Instead, he paused in the air, switched the ball to his left hand, avoided Davis' block, and scored with a "left-hand layup".

"Irving's scoring ability is indeed strong, not only is the breakthrough sharp, but also the finishing ability after the breakthrough is very strong." Butler couldn't help but said, looking at Xiaoka, frowned, "What happened to Xiaoka, it seems to start again. 'Low-key'."

"The second half just started." Qin Hao said, but he couldn't help frowning.

In the 76ers, Xiaoka is still a bench so far. The team's positioning was initially a "defensive vanguard", and now it has become a 3D player.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to be the supplement of Qin Hao and Butler. When Qin Hao and Butler are playing well, he only needs to defend well. When Qin Hao or Butler is double-teamed by the opponent and defending strictly, give the ball to him. In his hands, he will become a scorer.

Coupled with the introverted personality of Xiaoka himself, over time, he also regards himself as a 3D player. When he sees that his teammates can score, he often does not make many shots.

But it's not on the 76ers.

What's more, Qin Hao knows Xiaoka's potential. He shouldn't just be a 3D player with an auxiliary nature. He can become a star, or even a superstar.

In the next few rounds, Xiaoka only shot once, a quick counterattack for a layup, but Davis frequently hit the basket and scored again and again.

The two sides have come and gone, although Barkley is still behind, the difference has been further narrowed, and only 3 points remain.

"beep......"

The O'Neal called a timeout.

After a few players came down, O'Neal replaced Nicholson, Zeller, Parsons, and Barnes.

"Offense, attack." Olney clapped his hands vigorously and yelled at the players: "Play our sharp offense, just like the first quarter, understand?"

"Understood." Several people responded in unison.

Meanwhile, Barkley's here.

Barkley first encouraged the players a few words, then looked at Xiaoka, opened his mouth, but hesitated, saying that Xiaoka was not playing well, he actually played very well, defending, supporting, and also Scored a goal, got 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal in a few minutes, very comprehensive.

But...and Barkley's expectations for him are still somewhat different.

In the end, Barkley patted Xiaoka on the shoulder and said, "If you have a chance, you should still vote firmly."

Kakashi nodded.

Here, Butler frowned and turned to look at Qin Hao.

"I'm coming." Qin Hao said, and came to the back of the Barkley team's bench, took a photo of Xiaoka, Xiaoka turned his head, a little unclear.

"Xiaoka." Qin Hao said earnestly: "This is not our team, this is the rookie game, didn't you realize that now you are the core of this team."

"Me?" Xiaoka was taken aback.

This is why after the outbreak in the second quarter, Xiaoka became low-key again. Barkley only hinted, but did not tell him clearly, so Xiaoka really didn't react, and he had become this ball unknowingly. core player of the team.

In fact, Xiaoka completely underestimated himself.

Even if there is no outbreak in the second quarter, there is no trust and optimism in Barkley, with his strength, the data this season is also the first in Barkley.

Davis, Bill, Vucevic, these future All-Star players, are still in the formative stage at this time, and they are not as good as Xiaoka.

At this stage, the few who can compete with Xiaoka are in the O'Neal team.

Qin Hao patted Xiaoka's shoulder and said with a smile: "You underestimate yourself too much. Look at these players in the Barkley team, who has more points per game than you, and whose stats are better than you? No, you are this group of people. The strongest among them, you are not the core and who is the core? As the core of the team, you should be more proactive and take more responsibility, right?"

"I..." Xiaoka was still a little stunned, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Understood."

"Go." Qin Hao gave him a cheering gesture and watched Xiaoka walk onto the court.

Today's Xiaoka, it's time to be on his own.

......

Pause ends soon.

There have been some changes in the lineup of both sides. The O'Neal team replaced Zeller and Barnes to enhance the height of the interior and the striker. The Barkley team replaced Sheved and replaced Faried.

The O'Neal team made a three-pointer as soon as they came up. Irving pushed the ball to the frontcourt and then made a breakthrough point and passed it to Klay.

Turned around, Barkley attacked.

Rubio came to the frontcourt and suddenly saw Xiaoka running back and taking the initiative to ask him for the ball. He couldn't help being a little surprised, but he still quickly passed the ball to Xiaoka.

It was Barnes who was opposite Xiaoka. Xiaoka didn't make many shots in the previous few minutes, and hardly took the initiative to attack with the ball, so Barnes was a little slack. Without reaching out, he was certain that Xiaoka would pass the ball.

result......

Xiaoka suddenly started, and he passed Barnes with a change of direction and accelerated. He took advantage of the trend and rushed to the inside line. Zeller was also surprised, and it was too late to pounce.
