During practice, everyone kept their mouths shut, practicing in silence.
Seeing this, Isaiah Thomas grew a little worried. He couldn't help but ask Su Xi, "Jack, why are your teammates suddenly so quiet? So unenthusiastic? This isn't a good sign. You need to tell them not to be spooked by the loss in the group stage. Argentina isn't invincible. We have what it takes to beat them."
Su Xi smiled.
He thought that Isaiah Thomas didn't really understand Chinese culture.
He said, "Chinese people aren't naturally expressive; most of us are quite reserved. If you knew what they were thinking behind that silence, you'd know just how excited they are."
