Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 192 The First Battle After Injury!

Pat Riley was busy in the office room at this time, when he saw Xie Chen coming, he said with a smile, "Sit down."

Handed Xie Chen a glass of water, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, sat down with Xie Chen, and said: "A few days ago, Chris Bosh came to me and asked me to confirm his status. I have to appease him first. After all, I spent more than 100 million to keep him in five years. This was my promise to him when I kept him. Otherwise, he would be in the Rockets right now. I hope you can understand. "

Pat Riley's voice was low and his face was sincere. He seemed to know that the young man in front of him must be upset, so he spoke to comfort him. Looking at Pat Riley's wrinkled old face, Xie Chen couldn't help feeling soft-hearted and said: "You did nothing wrong. After all, he has proved himself in the past few years. If I were the president, I would choose him over me. I just don't understand how Bosh, who has always been very tolerant, would suddenly ask you to do such a thing."

Pat Riley also frowned helplessly, took a sip of water from his teacup, and then said: "I asked your doctor, he said that you have to rest for at least 10 days before you can play, and it's only a week now, I agree You go to the New Orleans Arena with the team tomorrow, but only if you wear a suit the entire time."

Xie Chen said firmly: "No, Mr. President, I want to play, and now the team needs me."

Riley shook his head: "I can understand your current mood, but your current state can't help the team much. All you have to do is to heal your injury with peace of mind. Only in this way can you survive until the playoffs , really help the team, have you ever thought about what will happen to you if you get injured again? Do you know how many talented players are ruined by injuries? Why don't you take this seriously at all Woolen cloth?"

Xie Chen is still firm: "I will be very cautious on the court, and I will not let myself get hurt again."

In fact, these two injuries were caused by not standing firmly on the ground, not due to confrontation with opponents. Pat Riley has always disagreed with Xie Chen's style of play that often has physical contact with opponents, especially when Xie Chen grabs rebounds When playing, no matter who the opponent is, he dares to play physical confrontation with him, which makes Riley shocking every time he looks at it! Every night when I go to bed, I dream that Xie Chen is knocked down by his opponent.

"Mr. Riley, I know you care about me, but I'm going to play."

Xie Chen's firmness made Pat Riley really helpless. Riley had his own plan for Xie Chen. He wanted Xie Chen to follow his own request, but Xie Chen never listened. The strength trainer has become his agent. Although he occasionally trains according to his requirements, most of the time he does it according to his own ideas. He does not practice hard three-pointers, or madly throws backwards, or crazy training steals. , Riley became more and more worried about Xie Chen, and became more and more uncertain, even though Xie Chen seemed to be getting more and more progressive.

In the end, Pat Riley had no choice but to agree to Xie Chen's request. Along with the different ideas of the two, a gap began to appear between the Heat president and the new AMVP.

After everyone learned that the Heat were going to make a comeback in the game against the Pelicans, there was a lot of discussion for a while. Since Xie Chen only played half of the game against the Lakers, this game is regarded as Xie Chen after the All-Star The first serious game of the Thunder, and the opponent is not an underdog, and the opponent also has an All-Star. Not long ago, he beat Westbrook, who is now the scoring leader, at the Thunder's home court.

The New Orleans Arena in Louisiana, which is the home of the Pelicans, formerly known as the New Orleans Hornets, was also a Western powerhouse during Paul's time. After being acquired by car tycoon Tom Benson, the New Orleans Hornets officially changed their name in 2013. pelican.

The Pelican is the state bird of Louisiana, and Louisiana is also known as the Pelican State. The new boss felt that this name was more grounded than the Hornets and closer to the culture of New Orleans, so he chose the Pelican.

The Pelicans were 34 wins and 48 losses last season, 11th in the Western Conference. This year they played much better than last year. They are definitely a team that can hit the playoffs. This is also a force that must not be ignored in the future in the Western Conference. In the early stage, the team ushered in the league's top defensive center Asik. This is a relatively fast traditional defensive center.

In addition, Anthony Davis, the core and future of the Pelicans, has played well this year. This guy who aims to be the top five in history has averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds per game this season. When the round of All-Star voting was announced, it was higher than the final vote king Xie Chen.

It's just that Xie Chen didn't appear in the All-Star Game due to injury, and Xie Chen didn't have the opportunity to compete with the opponent. However, Xie Chen was absent from the Miami Heat's home game two days ago due to injury, and the two missed the opportunity to compete again.

On the last day of February, at the New Orleans Arena, the Pelicans ushered in the undaunted "strong team" Heat. Fans entered the arena one after another, and they all began to make their own judgments before the game.

"After the All-Star Game, the competition is going to be intense. Every team is competing for the playoff ranking, especially a team like our Pelicans who are on the edge of the playoffs. For us, every game Winning is all the more important.”

"You're right. Even though you're facing No. 1 in the Eastern Conference tonight, you're the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Among the Big Three, only Xie can make an appearance, and Xie is also coming back from injury for the first game. His condition is definitely not good. , I heard that we will be on the bench tonight and our playing time will be limited, this will be a great opportunity for us to win a victory!"

The Heat, which used to make people fearful, can no longer deter people. Xie Chen wore a team uniform and shot quietly in the half court, ignoring the pointers of outsiders, but he was indeed a little upset.

"I just won the All-Star MVP, why do everyone look at me with sympathy and ridicule?" Xie Chen was speechless. Wasn't Scarlett clarifying the relationship between the two? Scarlett had good intentions and didn't want to delay her from destroying her reputation, so why did she become a poor abandoned person?

So what if the MVP list and scoring list are surpassed? What about the team losing streak? Is the season over? Did I play during this time?

"Starting from this game, I want to get back everything that belongs to me!" Xie Chen clenched his fists tightly. Bosh, the biggest confidant, was completely reimbursed for the season. Xie Chen is the undoubted leader of the team. If he can still lead the team to achieve an excellent record at this time, then the MVP of the regular season will be more competitive than anyone else!

However, if possible, no one wants Bosh to leave, because without Bosh, Xie Chen really has no idea about this year's championship. Know how to live!

"Oh, forget it, let's take one step at a time, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! Now I think the championship is too far away. The most important thing at the moment is to tell the whole league that the Heat are still a strong team, as long as I, Xie Chen, are here!"

Xie Chen was thinking emotionally, when suddenly a big man behind him patted his shoulder, looking back, at first glance, he really looked like Ru Hua in Zhou Xingchi's movie, Xie Chen usually likes to watch Hong Kong movies, especially Zhou Xingchi's Comedy, so I laughed at the first sight of Anthony Davis, but I believe the other party must not know what he was laughing at.

"Brother Thick Eyebrows" Davis saw Xie Chen smile, and smiled himself, and shook hands with Xie Chen cordially: "Haha, we meet again, buddy, last time the All-Star didn't have a chance to play with you because of injury, I have always been very regretful. After my comeback, I didn’t expect you to be injured again in the game a few days ago. I thought that I would fight again so soon, and I couldn’t compete with you. I didn’t expect you to recover so soon. Congratulations.”

"Thank you, buddy." Xie Chen smiled and shook Davis's hand.

Davis made no secret of his friendliness to Xie Chen: "Hey, you know? I imitated you. When I was in Oklahoma City, did you see how I beat Westbrook? That's what my teammates told me. Used it on him before, so I tried it too, and it worked, lol, you didn't see Westbrook pissed off at the time, it was so funny, but, the kid got injured in KD recently Under the circumstances, it is almost going crazy, with close to 40 points per game, as well as assists and rebounds, it is really a terrifying triple-double machine, you have to be careful, your scoring throne will be taken away!"

Xie Chen smiled faintly: "I don't care too much about the title of scoring champion, but if I really want it, no one can take it away."

Davis secretly sighed that Xie Chen was really domineering, but he was worried that Xie Chen's injury would not fully recover, otherwise, he would have had a hearty fight with him tonight!

Afterwards, the game started quickly. Sure enough, coach Spoelstra, considering Xie Chen's injury and condition, made him a substitute to play against Chalmers. He didn't play at the beginning. The fans saw Xie Chen sitting on the bench, Can't help but talk freely.

"It's been a few days since I saw Xie playing as a substitute. I'm really not used to it. It seems that Xie's condition has not recovered to 100%. The coach let Xie play this game just to let him find his condition. In this way, our Pelicans There is hope."

Facing the Heat lacking the Big Three, the morale of the Pelicans is high and everyone is full of confidence, especially Davis: "Thank you, don't blame me for not winning by force. I will never be soft in this game."

The Heat continued the bad momentum of the past few games, and it seems that they have not come out of the All-Star Weekend. Except for Luol Deng, who played quite well, the others were like sleepwalking. Many pass errors gave the opponent a chance to counterattack. Some offenses choose not to play, and do not score the goals that should be scored, which makes people look very worried.

And the defense was quite lax, allowing Anthony Davis to imitate Xie Chen again in the interior!

I saw Davis throwing his left hand to the backboard when he was attacking. All the Heat stared blankly at the backboard. No one made a move, but Davis jumped high at this time, and the big palm of his right hand touched The ball, dunk the ball abruptly!

Throw it away!

What Xie Chen did in the All-Stars, Davis returned to him on behalf of the West in the regular season!

Xie Chen rubbed his chin, secretly said: "It's interesting."
