　　After coming to the Russian city, Xue Ding sent Harden a message for the first time.

　　 "James, I'm here in Homer, Ohio. Are you ready to accept the failure?"

　　 "Xue, Chinese modesty, you have nothing at all? Wait, I will tell you why I am the No. 3 show tomorrow night."

　　 "How do the losers shave their beards?"

　　 Harden started to grow his beard under Xue Ding's suggestion, it was already small, Xue Ding spoofed Harden.

　　 "Hey, I don't accept this bet, you don't have a beard." Harden refused decisively.

　　 The communication between the two was smooth.

　　 Xue Ding also said to the reporter: "I want data, and I want victory."

　　Xue Ding's speech is sometimes straightforward, sometimes it is very tactful, and sometimes the reporter can't keep up with his thinking.

　　Roy said: "Xue's pick is definitely more than 22, I certainly support him, he will be the best rookie this year."

　　 Durant said: "James’ role is not what the data can show. He is very important to us. I have always believed that he is the most powerful rookie in this session."

　　 The media fully copied the hot spots on both sides, and the two bosses also came forward to support their younger brother.
