Super All-around Point Guard

Howard was still the big boy who would never grow up, catching the cell phone thrown by James Harden with his huge palm, and walked over with an exaggerated laugh, showing two rows of white teeth. He is the only person in the Rockets who knows Harden's secret besides Beverly. The others don't know why Harden is so troubled, but Howard and Beverly know that they are also witnesses to the nightclub that night.

Howard came over, threw the phone to Harden again, and smiled innocently: "I heard that Xie liked you on Instagram? Hahaha, this kid is really bad, but you don't have to be so upset , your flower-picking skill is not as good as Xie, you should admit defeat, brother!"

"Bullshit!" Harden yelled: "Didn't you watch ESPN's FIRSTTAKE recently? That host is the one who hit up a conversation with Xie at the nightclub that night! That's the one who showed love to Xie at the Lakers' home court before! They knew each other before! I'm confused Thank you, Chris!"

Seeing Harden's distraught look, Howard laughed even harder. The little prince of the nightclub was also raped. It was rare. Howard smiled for a while and said: "Since he plays with you, you can play with him too, I know you Worried about letting him down when you agreed to defend him in tonight's game, you can break your promise on the field, and maybe you can take the opportunity to make him a hot pot!"

Harden repeatedly refused: "How can I do this? Once the news spreads about me, the girls in the nightclub will look down on me. How can I go to the nightclub in the future? Besides, Chris Bosh and D-Wade know about this, brother I am now But the popular candidate for this season's MVP, I will never do anything that damages my reputation. However, although I will play against SG tonight, I can not defend him and let Beverly defend. This way, I don’t have to keep my promises!”

Howard shook his head: "You are thinking too simply. If you really plan to fulfill your promise, I advise you to take the initiative to defend at the beginning, and then release the water once. You also know that it is normal for the game to be misplaced. Once you are in You met Xie Chen at a critical moment, and if you let go at that time, it will have a crucial impact on the team's victory, and I won't allow you to do that."

Howard is the No. 1 center in the league, and he became famous earlier than Harden. Although Harden is more like the leader of the Rockets now, Howard is still very persistent in terms of the team's victory and defeat, and he has become serious at this time.

Harden sighed: "Then let's adapt to the situation when the time comes!"

The Heat team didn't come to Houston by special plane until the afternoon. Xie Chen was very excited and in a good mood along the way. Chalmers kept asking why, but Xie Chen kept silent because Wade didn't follow the team to the away game, so the plane Chris Bosh is the only one who knows the truth. The jealousy in Bosh's heart, if he knew that Harden's IQ would drop when he saw a woman, he would make a bet with Harden at the nightclub that night, maybe he could get something benefit.

On the flight to Houston this time, Bosh was very quiet, he was reading the newspaper all the time, and he didn't provoke Xie Chen from time to time as he used to, because he remembered the last game against the Rockets, Xie Chen's last moment Pass the ball to Bosh, and Bosh completes the lore.

Thinking of that night, thinking of that moment, Bosh still couldn't help being excited. He knew in his heart that Xie Chen was a good teammate, and he was not selfish. Speaking of which, Xie Chen had made Bosh at the beginning of the winning streak. Otherwise, Bosh would have It is absolutely impossible to enter the top five MVPs, but Xie Chen has risen too fast. If Xie Chen came to take Bosh's position after a year or two, Bosh might not feel so uncomfortable, and would even be willing to help, but now, a Just signed a top player with a max salary to support a 24th pick who just entered the league

, which really made him unacceptable.

Eight p.m., Toyota Center.

Perhaps because of the influence of his parents, like most Chinese fans, Xie Chen was also a Rockets fan during the Yao Mai era. At that time, Xie Chen even thought about coming to the Rockets one day to help the Rockets break through the curse of the first round. To win the championship, but looking at it now, the Rockets have Howard and Harden, and they can achieve this goal without Xie Chen.

Before the game started, the Rockets mascot, the Rocket Bear, appeared in the middle of the arena and held up a big sign. In addition to English, there was a Chinese translation on the big sign. The content made Xie Chen very upset, because it said: "Welcome aboard the losing streak."

In addition to the Rockets teasing the Heat, many fans on the scene also held a 4 sign, which means that the Heat will have a four-game losing streak today.

"Damn it, why don't you take the Heat seriously? Do you all think that the past 30 consecutive victories were a fluke?" Xie Chen was a little upset, but it was understandable when he thought about it carefully. The Rockets' 22 consecutive victories were also shocked. The league, but it was beaten back to its original shape as soon as it reached the playoffs, and was eliminated by the Jazz 4:2.

Rockets fans regard the current Heat as the Rockets back then, which is too underestimating the strength of the Heat.

Xie Chen smiled faintly. He didn't intend to care about these teasing, but this cheap Rocket Bear suddenly limped, imitating the way he walked after he was injured last time!

The Rocket Bear imitated Xie Chen, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the fans. Of course, some fans shook their heads and said that this practice was too much, but this really annoyed Xie Chen. Xie Chen was practicing shooting at halftime, and immediately ran over to the Rocket Bear He snatched the big sign before, beat him wildly, and knocked him to the ground in the end!

The fans at the scene laughed and laughed.

"Hahaha, another Robin has appeared! Is Xie going to go on the road of no return to fight the mascot?"

"The Heat's next away game seems to be to play the Trail Blazers, right? If that's the case, I'd like to see how Xie beat Robin's mascot. Haha, it must be very exciting!"

Xie Chen's violent beating of the mascot reminded fans of the Blazers' center Robin Lopez, who was known as the "mascot killer"! He has fought with the mascots of many teams, but usually the mascots provoke him first before he makes a move.

After Rocket Bear was hit to the ground by Xie Chen, he lay on the floor unable to get up, and even slapped the floor with his "bear claws". He looked aggrieved, and the fans laughed even harder. Xie Chen couldn't stand this cute guy , ignore him, not long after the game started, Rocket Bear got up and continued to run away in high spirits.

Before the jump ball, players from the two teams shook hands. Xie Chen stepped forward and was the first to greet Harden. When shaking hands and bumping shoulders, he asked Harden: "James Harden, we met again, remember our agreement?" ?"

James Harden turned a deaf ear to his embarrassing face. In order to avoid facing Xie Chen, he ran to greet Hassan warmly who had never met before, which surprised Hassan for a while.

When greeting Howard, Howard said with a smile: "Last time you were lucky and let you kill us. This time, you can never take away the victory here."

Facing the confident Howard, Xie Chen also replied forcefully: "You don't want to take the victory from the number one in the Eastern Conference!"

The game officially started, Xie Chen's first thing is how to face James Harden on offense, and then on his head, under the attention of everyone, win an offense with no defense at all.

Unfortunately, although Wade was not there, Xie Chen played the 2nd position, which happened to be against Harden, but when defending, the Rockets sent Beverly to defend themselves. Beverly is also a player who knows the inside story, so he did not Will not give myself a chance to match up with Harden.

Xie Chen was a little depressed: "At the time of the agreement, I said that Harden should release water once when defending me in the next game, but I didn't specify that Harden must defend me, and this matter was arranged by the coach. Forget it, but if Harden didn't have a chance to defend me throughout the game, wouldn't the agreement be wasted?"

Beverly saw Xie Chen's strategy, and defended Xie Chen with a contemptuous smile: "Boy, don't think about good things, I will follow you throughout the game, you have no chance to match Harden!"

"This guy's talking is really annoying." Hei Bei made Xie Chen very upset last time, so when he faced him again this time, he would naturally not be polite.

Xie Chen said: "Okay, since Harden won't defend me, then I'll blow you up tonight!"

After finishing speaking, after a forward dribble, he immediately stopped the ball and made a shooting posture. Beverly thought that Xie Chen was about to shoot a three-pointer, so he jumped up quickly, and was cheated by Xie Chen for a foul.

Coach McHale shook his head helplessly, not understanding why Beverly kept making low-level mistakes against Xie Chen.

Xie Chen easily got three free throw opportunities. When Xie Chen made free throws, James Harden quietly walked up to Beverly and whispered: "Be careful not to foul again. This is his conspiracy. Once your fouls increase I will be replaced, and then there will be no one to protect me!"

"I see!" Beverly looked at Xie Chen and agreed unwillingly.

In the next attack, Xie Chen could clearly feel that Beverly was cautious in defense, he would never take fake moves when defending against shots, and he would never stretch out his hands when defending breakthroughs. Everyone was surprised how the legendary Hei Bei The defense is so gentle today?

Xie Chen smiled: "Even if you defend me with all your strength, you may not be able to prevent me from scoring. Now you are still on defense. It seems that you are worried that the two fouls in the first quarter will be committed. It is just right. Today is my comeback In the first game, I announced to the world that I am back in the first quarter!"

Beverly rushed to the basket, either caused a foul or made a layup, and shot a three-pointer against Beverly. In the first quarter alone, Xie Chen scored 15 points!

"This kid is really unstoppable! I didn't know he was so powerful if I didn't watch it!"

"It's too strong! It's too strong! He's even braver than Westbrook! What happened to Beverly today? I'd rather make a foul and stop him!"

The Rockets fans saw Xie Chen's power for the first time, and they also regarded Xie Chen and his Heat team as the biggest enemy of winning the championship. When they were replaced in the first quarter, Xie Chen walked up to James Harden and said: "If you don't Guard me and I'll score 60 at the Toyota Center!"
