Super All-around Point Guard

This is the first tough battle for the Knicks in the new season, and it is also a great opportunity to prove their team level, because too many people have too much curiosity about Xie Chen, so in this game, the Big Three of the Cavaliers and Lai of the Heat Li and others are also paying attention. The Hawks are very strong. If both sides play their respective levels, then this battle will test the real strength of the Knicks. This is very necessary for James. Information.

In the first half, Xie Chen and Anthony showed off their power together, almost sweeping the team's scoring, and the shooting percentage of the two was not bad. In the second half, Xie Chen didn't change it into an assist like the previous game, and still wanted to rely on his own strength. Solve the opponent.

Xie Chen's scoring kept increasing. In one-on-one defense, it was difficult for Teague to really limit Xie Chen, but gradually, everyone realized a very serious problem, that is, defense. From the beginning to the present , the scores of the two teams are deadlocked, but the Hawks can always score effortlessly, while the Knicks rely more on the personal strength of Xie Chen and Anthony. Once the opponent starts to pinch these two main scoring points, the Knicks will In trouble.

Poor defense caused coach Fisher to call a timeout twice, but there was still no progress. The Eagles could still score in a relatively easy way. Gradually, everyone became more impatient.

Teague is a very smart point guard. He wears No. 0 like Xie Chen. He realizes that this Knicks team is only superficially strong, but it is still scattered and has no cohesion. Both offense and defense rely too much on individuals. , and some people obviously don't know why the coach put him on the court.

At this time, he thought it was an opportunity, and suddenly shot two three-pointers in front of Xie Chen, and they all hit, forcing the Knicks to call a timeout again!

"Good shot, Jeff!" Horford Millsap and others walked towards Jeff Teague and clapped hands one by one, but Teague looked at Xie Chen with a deep smile.

This is the first dilemma the Knicks have encountered. What should the team do when they fall behind? Xie Chen has done his best, he has already scored 40 points, and Anthony has also scored 27 points. Maybe they can continue to chase points, but the Knicks' defense is too poor, and the Hawks score too easily.

Only then did Xie Chen realize that the current Knicks team still has a long way to go before it can compete for the championship. There are many players in the team who have not entered the state at all, or have never entered the state. They don't know what kind of performance and status they should have on the court as a championship team. In Jordan's words, their desires are not strong enough!

When they were behind by 8 points, Xie Chen looked at Anthony and Lopez. From their dimmed eyes, Xie Chen could see that even though they were giants, their desire to win was not so strong. .

Carmelo Anthony, once known as the peerless twins with James, has now become a star of different levels, far away from James, except that he is not as BT as James in terms of talent and ability, I am afraid that his personality is causing this. The biggest factor in a situation!

The ancients often said that character determines destiny, which is true in any industry.

Some Chinese netizens once compared James and Anthony to North Qiaofeng and South Murong in Jin Yong's novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". Of course, Qiao Feng refers to James, but Xie Chen does not think Anthony is Murong Fu. Their situation is indeed very similar, but the problem is that Murong Fu's ambition is far behind Anthony's. Murong Fu has always had the ambition to restore Dayan, and for this he can sacrifice everything! But Anthony, this Melon who can fascinate countless people with a smile, is an optimist who pursues happiness in playing, and what he lacks is precisely this ambition!

The same is true for Lopez, he is already satisfied with his current results, if he is a person with a strong desire to win, if he is a person with ambitions for the championship, then, in the new season, in the Big Three In our team, he shouldn't be in this state.

That is to say, in the whole team, except for Xie Chen, no one has the hunger and ambition for the championship! This is what Xie Chen is really worried about!

"This team has big problems, not just offense and defense, nor can it be improved over time. They lack the desire to win. I need to mobilize the beast in their hearts. , especially Carmelo Anthony."

A very real problem is that in the playoffs, the Knicks’ biggest opponent is LeBron James’ Cavaliers. It goes without saying how strong James’ ambitions and desires are. He is so domineering that he thinks this is his era , Every year's championship should be his, so failure is simply intolerable.

Against such a strong and tough opponent for seven games, as Xie Chen's biggest helper, Anthony must play the most bloody side. After all, this Knicks team, apart from Xie Chen and Anthony, really couldn't find any players they could rely on.

The problem can't be solved in a while, and the Eagles really played too well today, and they will have a relatively high chance of winning against any strong team in the league, so after the timeout, the Knicks still have nothing to do with this team. , the Knicks harvested their first regular season loss at home.

In the first match, Xie Chen lost his ability. He thought he would lose to his opponent, but unexpectedly he won easily. In this match, Xie Chen possessed systematic abilities from the beginning to the end, and Still sitting at home, unexpectedly lost to the opponent.

Although they lost to the Eagles, Xie Chen and Anthony's performance was still very impressive, especially Xie Chen scored the league's first 50+ points since the beginning of the regular season, and Anthony also scored 35 points. It's a pity that even if the two scored more than 80 points together, they still couldn't help the team win.

After this game, many people commented that the Knicks fell into the embarrassment when the Heat's Big Three were first formed. Everyone's statistics are very impressive, but they can't win the ball. They still need to work slowly to find a way to win. After James watched the game, he was even more dismissive. Xie Chen still used those routines, and the Knicks only relied on Xie Chen and Anthony to score. The defense was a mess. When they met in the playoffs, they just strangled them. At that time, James, for this potential opponent, was confident that he could win in 6 games, or even 5 games.

Anthony's change and growth is an imminent thing. Xie Chen hopes that he will become more bloody, because he will not only play with Anthony this season, but also face those legendary teams in the past.

When Xie Chen talked to Anthony about the team's problems early the next morning, Anthony said to Xie Chen very optimistically: "You think too much, brother, the regular season has just started, and we only lost one game. , don’t worry too much, we have plenty of time to make the situation better slowly.”

Xie Chen sighed. Speaking of it, Anthony still trusts Xie Chen's ability too much. If Xie Chen can use all the system capabilities this season, no matter whether he is home or away, he will not be so worried. But the problem now is, this season. On every away trip, Xie Chen might lose his ability!

Once Xie Chen loses his ability, the Knicks will return to the team that can only rely on Anthony to be slaughtered last season!

The next game was an away game, and the next opponent was the Wizards. Xie Chen suffered from insomnia the night before. Since the system changed, Xie Chen suffered from insomnia almost every day, and then stayed alone in the study.

The pregnant wife, Katie, woke up in the middle of the night and found that there was no one around, so she put on a dress and got up to look for Xie Chen, and soon found that Xie Chen was in the study, she opened the door, and Xie Chen was still facing a The distribution map of NBA teams was dazed. Katie shook her head and walked up to pat Xie Chen: "Hey, what happened to you these two days? You always leave me alone on the bed. What's so interesting about this map?" ? Do you look better than me?"

Katie flirted with her husband quite a bit, and Xie Chen was also amused by Katie. She hugged Katie into her arms and said with a smile: "I haven't slept well these two days, and I don't want to make noise. I woke you up, so I came to the study alone."

Katie stood on her tiptoes, kissed Xie Chen affectionately, then stroked Xie Chen's face with a concerned look on her face: "I know you will have a hard time playing golf, and I feel sorry for you, dear, but, I am very happy to be by your side this season, staying at home, waiting for you to come back, instead of being like last season, knowing that you are tired, but can't do anything for you."

Xie Chen said with a smile: "I am the one who is really happy. I promised you that I would let you stand with me on the podium of the championship, but now it seems that you should be in the hospital at that time..."

Katie looked at her belly and smiled happily, yes, what a coincidence, the day of the finals should be around the same time as Katie's due date.

At this time, Katie looked at the map hanging on the wall in front of the two, which was the distribution map of NBA teams. Katie found that many teams had a five-pointed star behind their names, so she asked curiously: " What does this five-pointed star mean?"

Xie Chen replied directly: "It means that the team is very strong and needs to be taken seriously."

"Oh?" Katie felt a little strange, pointing to the above teams and asked: "Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, are these teams strong? Heat without you, I think they can Getting into the playoffs is already very good. The other two teams should not even be able to make the playoffs? There is also the Chicago Bulls, this team, you draw two five-pointed stars behind you, but behind the Cleveland Cavaliers Isn't it weird that there isn't a single star?"

Xie Chen just answered casually. He didn't expect Katie to get to the bottom of it and started to pursue it seriously. Xie Chen stroked Katie's soft hair and said with a smile: "You really didn't stay in ESPN for nothing. You haven't been here for a year. In time, you have gone from being blind to an expert with such a deep understanding of the team, hehe."

In fact, the teams marked with five-pointed stars behind Xie Chen do mean that the teams are strong and need to be taken seriously, but they do not refer to the active teams, but the legendary teams behind them!

Of course, the current Chicago Bulls are not strong enough for Xie Chen to give such a high evaluation and attention, but the Dynasty Bulls behind him, who have won three consecutive championships and three consecutive championships, deserve Xie Chen's attention!

Xie Chen has been thinking about a problem for the past two nights, that is, the strength of the teams they met in the playoffs and their legendary teams. This season, it will be very difficult to win the championship, because if you want to win, you must not only win the current game This opponent has to beat the legendary team behind them.

Xie Chen is very, very fortunate that the legendary teams behind his biggest opponents, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors, are not so BT. What really worries Xie Chen is the Celtics' legendary team, the Lakers' The legendary team, they can't even make the playoffs this season!

Even if the Lakers can make it to the playoffs, they will definitely not make it to the finals, so Xie Chen, who is in the Eastern Conference, doesn't need to have any worries, and the Celtics will definitely not make it to the playoffs. If there is no team that can compete for the championship, it will be harder to beat the Celtics than the Cavaliers!

Now, the opponent Xie Chen is most worried about, besides the Cavaliers led by James, with the system changes, now there is another one, that is the Chicago Bulls!

Even the Bulls led by Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Gasol caused Xie Chen more headaches than James' Cavaliers!

If the Knicks and the Chicago Bulls meet in the playoffs, first of all, the Bulls have a chance to beat the Knicks. Second, half of the seven-game series must be played away. Playing against the legendary team behind the Bulls, that is to say, Xie Chen will face the greatest star in history, Michael Jordan!

The experience against the three-time champion Lakers told Xie Chen that it was impossible to defeat the Bulls dynasty, at least with Xie Chen's current ability and the current ability of the Knicks. Then, once the game is lost, Xie Chen will have no system Ability, without ability, the Knicks would not be able to win the Bulls at all!

On the contrary, the opponent Cavaliers, Xie Chen can put all his energy on their active team, because the legendary teams behind them are not as strong as the active lineup.

In the past two nights, Xie Chen has rejoiced more than once that James is fortunately not in a strong team like the Bulls or the Lakers. Otherwise, this season really doesn't have to be played...

Xie Chen's biggest opponent this season is Rose's Chicago Bulls, not James' Cleveland Cavaliers... Who would believe it?

"Why."

When Xie Chen was sighing, Katie suddenly found something written by Xie Chen on the desk. Katie picked it up and looked at it, then frowned in confusion: "Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Bernard King, Michael Jordan, Gilbert Arenas, who's next?"

"Wait, why is there a Chinese name below? This is Nianyi...Jianlian?"
