Super All-around Point Guard

Anthony Davis' unexpected action made the audience exclaim, but because there were not many people in the New Orleans Arena, so from the scene, it didn't seem too boiling, it was just that the Pelicans bench was crazy.

Davis is really a monster with long arms, especially dunking this kind of dunk can show his perverted physical talent. With his long arms, he swung high and dunked hard like a king, and no one dared to stop him. Although it was more difficult to pick up the big windmill without Xie Chen smashing the board, this one seemed more imposing and domineering.

Unexpectedly, Davis was in the mood to play this kind of self-defeating trick at the very beginning of the game. Maybe it was because he had just defeated the Heat not long ago, and he already had confidence, or maybe he wanted to use Xie Chen's action to challenge the audience. Xie Chen is provocative!

However, at this time, Xie Chen just smiled lightly, still sitting firmly on the bench, not moving at all, and did not show any attitude towards Coach Sibo that I want to play. The teammates are confident that no matter how bad the Heat are without the Big Three, they are not opponents who will be crushed in the first quarter.

Gradually, with a three-pointer from the right side of Luol Deng, the Heat chased the score to within five points, but Eric Gordon of the Pelicans made a European layup, caused a foul and scored the ball , hit the Heat with a two plus one, and expanded the score.

This foul was still committed by the Heat's starting center Hassan Whiteside. Hassan received two fouls not long after he played, and was quickly replaced by coach Spoelstra.

It can be said that after the All-Star Game, Hassan’s condition was not ideal. Perhaps because the main point guard and his good brother Xie Chen were not there, Hassan’s game was not as comfortable as before. While people marveled at Hassan’s talent, they gradually realized Hassan is a general, but he can't become a leader. In the absence of the Big Three, he and Luol Deng carried the team, and they couldn't even beat the bottom-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, and both times they were disastrous.

After Hassan sat back in his seat, Xie Chen patted Hassan and asked, "You seem to be out of shape today."

Hassan shrugged helplessly, looking very depressed, or maybe he felt unfair to the referee's penalty, at least the ball defending Gordon just now was optional.

There is a double point guard lineup on the field, Chalmers and Cole, both showed a strong desire to attack. Speaking of Cole, before the previous trade deadline, there were rumors that the Heat would send Cole. In the end, the Heat still The current lineup is retained, so Cole's performance is particularly impressive.

Soon, in the middle of the first quarter, Anthony Davis was also replaced for a rest. He has not been back from injury for a long time, and he cannot play for too long, and now that the Pelicans are leading the score, Monty Williams is not in a hurry .

Monty Williams is the coach of the Pelicans, as well as the mentor of the players, the spiritual guide and leader of the Pelicans, and he is also responsible for training Brother Big Eyebrows.

In Davis' rookie season, Monty protected him by limiting his playing time to keep him away from all strong opponents, because Big Eyebrows, like Antetokounmpo, was still in the developmental stage during his rookie season. With the weight at that time, if you play the 5 position, you will face players who are 30 to 40 pounds heavier than him. This is why Coach Monty and the team are praised by people. He will know how to Use Anthony Davis.

Modern players seem to be injured more frequently than ever before, so the current pressure of coaches and management to win, coupled with the modern ability to cure diseases, must prevent core players from being injured before disaster strikes.

This is why Pat Riley has been worried about Xie Chen. For Xie Chen, it is not a question of the length of playing time, but a question of his style of play. His style of play is very problematic, just like Riley often said Yes, Xie Chen's body couldn't support his style of play.

But Xie Chen was very stubborn, because he knew that when he did those crazy moves, he didn't use his own abilities. He knew very well where the limits of his physical confrontation and physical talent were.

However, no matter how Riley was called a "magic fortune teller", he couldn't have guessed that Xie Chen had a "basketball duplication system", so there was an irresolvable conflict between the two.

In fact, Pat Riley also wants to slowly let Xie Chen grow into a superstar like the Pelicans trained Brother Big Eyebrow, but Xie Chen can't wait, he wants all the honors this year, and he will become a superstar this year.

Xie Chen can definitely understand Pat Riley's thoughts. Pat Riley dreams of a championship, but injuries are the biggest enemy of the Heat's championship!

Rose and the Chicago Bulls in 2012, the Oklahoma City Thunder who lost Westbrook in the second playoffs in 2013, and the Boston Big Three who won the championship in 2008, they should have won more, but With Garnett falling due to a knee injury in 2009 and Perkins tearing his cruciate ligament in Game 6 of the Finals in 2010, the dynasty that could have been forged was eventually disillusioned.

Pat Riley believes that Xie Chen will not hit the south wall and will not look back. Sooner or later, Xie Chen will pay a big price, and Xie Chen's physical condition will directly affect whether the Heat can win the championship this year. In fact, after Bosh confirmed that he will be reimbursed for the season Now, Riley no longer has any hope of winning the championship this year. Coupled with Xie Chen's insistence on going his own way, he even feels that passing the first round of the playoffs will become a big problem.

Still Luol Deng, the Heat relied on Luol Deng to stalemate the score tenaciously. In the past two games, Luol Deng was the team's scoring leader, but like Hassan, he was not a leader who could lead the team to victory.

Finally, with only the last 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Xie Chen appeared instead of Chalmers!

There was an instant commotion at the scene.

"The No. 0 of the Heat finally made his debut. He appeared in the regular season again after a week. I wonder if he can continue his previous miraculous performance? Looking at the way he walks, it seems that he has just recovered. , the explosive power is definitely not as good as before."

"Hahaha, I don't know anything else. In short, with his current state, it is definitely impossible for him to dunk as many times as he did when he played against the Lakers!"

"Well, speaking of it, he played desperately against the Lakers in the last game. As long as he had a dunk opportunity, he would never let it go, and he still played fancy dunks. It was really a vent. If it wasn't for the injury, it might be our Pelicans' turn. The basket will also suffer!"

Thinking of Xie Chen's cruel dunk performance in the last game, everyone still has lingering fears, but considering that he has just returned from injury and the coach has limited his playing time to protect him, I believe Xie Chen will not be able to play tonight. Another slam dunk.

"It's such a pity. When he came on stage, I was sitting on the sidelines. When will we have a real fight?" Brother Nongmei sat on the sidelines and looked at Xie Chen on the field. He really wanted to put on his shirt and fight against him again. One hundred rounds.

Coach Monty smiled and said: "Soon, Anthony, but you can't compete with the strongest him today, but in the future, there will be opportunities, because the future alliance will be dominated by the two of you!"

Surprisingly, Coach Monty also admired Xie Chen, but if he were to coach Xie Chen, he would definitely put Xie Chen on the bench and not let him play.

After Xie Chen played, he clapped hands with his teammates Haslem, Kerr, Luol Deng, and James Ennis one by one, officially announcing his comeback!

At this time, the Heat trailed the Pelicans by 8 points.

After playing, Xie Chen, as everyone expected, did not show the excitement of the past. Whether it was defense or offense, it seemed to be a bit slower, and it was obvious that he had not recovered to his best condition.

It is true that Xie Chen's body has not recovered to its best, especially in situations such as fast play, follow-up defense by players without the ball, etc., it is very affected, but once the skills are used, Xie Chen will instantly become another person.

What Xie Chen has to do in this game is to help the team catch up with the score as much as possible.

At the beginning, Xie Chen passed Haslem in seconds and easily assisted a goal. However, the Pelicans' backup center Akinsa was very good, and he returned Haslem, and the score was still eight points behind.

The one defending Xie Chen was Tyreke Evans, 198cm tall, and he was defending against Xie Chen. Obviously, he was sure that Xie Chen would not dare to break through like before. For him, Xie Chen's only The threat is the three-pointer. Of course, everyone knows that Xie Chen's offensive organization is also top-notch. As long as Xie Chen is on the court, even if he doesn't score, he can connect the whole team to defeat the opponent.

Xie Chen didn't make a strong play. He distributed the ball to his teammates, then slowly ran to the low post to ask for the ball, and then hit against Evans after getting the ball.

"Huh? Thank you, is this a back-up?"

"He's not explosive right now, and he can only play like this. However, I doubt whether he can get rid of Evans' defense on the jumper. I know he has a good fallback, but he has just come back now after all."

Xie Chen was watching his teammates while beating Evans. From Evans' point of view, Xie Chen's beating himself was just a cover. Even if he really wanted to fight, Evans was not afraid of him. What's more, after returning from injury, his explosive power is definitely not as good as before, and his jump is not as high as before. If he wants to get rid of his defense, he must use a difficult fadeaway jumper. would be ideal.

And when Evans was not very focused on defending Xie Chen, Xie Chen took advantage of his unpreparedness, turned around suddenly, and made a jumper!

"Don't even think about it!" Evans didn't expect Xie Chen to dare to hit. Although his reaction was a little slow, his big palm immediately stretched out to block the cover, which made Xie Chen have to make a backward movement, and Xie Chen was indeed The body kept leaning back in the air, and Evans slowly lifted his palms in the direction of Xie Chen, trying to cover Xie Chen's basketball, but found that Xie Chen kept retreating while he was moving forward. , Can't reach the basketball at all!

"How come! How can he jump so high now!" Evans was shocked.

Then, with a whoosh, the basketball pierced through the air that had been comfortable for a long time, and flew towards the basket!
