Super All-around Point Guard

The arrival of Karl Malone surprised both Xie Chen and Kobe. Xie Chen had just used Malone's fighting ability to fight the Magic and was suspended. He didn't expect to see Malone so soon. If Kobe was not present today, maybe Xie Chen would have a relationship with Malone. It was a pleasant conversation, but now, nothing pleasant is possible.

Ma Long has always been brooding over the conflict between the two over the years. He doesn't like this feeling. He is a traditional Westerner who prefers to use force to solve problems. This time, it was difficult for him to meet him in such a private occasion. Kobe, he must settle the matter face to face.

Xie Chen could tell from Ma Long's firm eyes that this guy had to fight Kobe. Although this was a matter between the two of them, it was because of Xie Chen that Ma Long met Kobe. Xie Chen didn't want Kobe to be out of kindness. Come to visit and get into trouble.

Unexpectedly, before Xie Chen could say anything, the stubborn Kobe stepped forward and responded forcefully: "Okay, how do you want to solve it?"

Malone once challenged Kobe to fight, but they are both so old, so they wouldn't still use this childish method, right? Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Chen said: "Karl Malone, I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs. You and Kobe are both professional basketball players, and both have achieved remarkable achievements in their NBA careers. Since you insist on Let’s fight, let’s fight like basketball.”

Kobe smiled contemptuously: "One-on-one? Does he dare?"

Karl Malone also showed no sign of weakness: "It's so funny, why don't I dare? Your total score is lower than mine, and you will always be below me in the historical rankings! Why don't I dare to compete with people who are worse than me? Besides, here There’s no referee.”

After saying this, Karl Malone smiled sinisterly. There is no referee here. The implication is that during the competition, Malone may use many foul actions to hurt Kobe. If he uses his body, the old Malone may not be Kobe. opponent.

Kobe was also anxious, not because he was afraid of physical confrontation with Malone, but because Malone was talking about the ranking of total points in history. Karl Malone's total points ranked second in history, and Kobe was third, still far behind Malone. The distance is not small. If Kobe chooses to retire after this season, he will really not be able to surpass Malone.

Kobe took the initiative to pick up the basketball and said expressionlessly: "Okay, let's compare."

Karl Malone began to take off his clothes and asked the staff to bring him a pair of sportswear and sneakers to put on. He also did some warm-up exercises. It took a long time and made Kobe a little impatient. He teased Malone: ​​"Old people need to It’s really troublesome to play a ball, but I’ll be able to dodge it if I move carefully later.”

Ma Long snorted and said, "Don't rush to talk big, kid, you'll feel better later!"

After Ma Long finished warming up and walked onto the court, Xie Chen walked over with a basketball and asked, "Let me keep score for you, ten balls?"

"No." Malone suddenly vetoed: "You are not needed, thank you, we only need to play 3 goals. Three goals will determine the outcome."

Kobe had no objections to this.

The contest between the two began, a duel over a woman, a woman named Vanessa.

Kobe attacks first with the ball!

Xie Chen watched the battle from the sidelines, watching the duel between the two, thinking: "In one-on-one, Kobe can defeat any opponent. Malone is still so big and powerful, but Kobe is much faster than him. , it will be easy to score points. If it is just three goals, I believe the winner will be determined soon. I hope Malone will not be unconvinced after losing."

Xie Chen felt that this was a game with no suspense. Even if they were both at their peak, Kobe had a greater chance of winning. Moreover, Malone's current competitive state is obviously not as good as Kobe's. Kobe is still playing in the NBA and is playing hard every day. There is consistent training.

Karl Malone was sticking closely to Kobe, probably to prevent Kobe's three-point shot. Kobe immediately chose to break through. With Kobe's speed, I believe he could pass Malone in one go. Kobe did pass Malone, but while passing him, , was hit hard by Malone, which immediately restricted Kobe's speed, and Kobe almost lost the ball.

"What? Karl Malone hit Kobe like this?!" Xie Chen was shocked, and then he understood why Malone dared to accept the challenge. If this kind of physical contact was allowed, then how could Kobe defeat Malone!

"Damn! Does this old guy still train his muscles now?" Kobe felt his arm hurt after being hit. He knew very well what kind of person Malone was, so he didn't say anything about Malone's foul action. The two originally It means fighting, and this physical contact is unavoidable.

Kobe dribbled back and used a breakthrough and change of direction to get rid of Malone's defense. This time, just as Kobe was about to rush in and dunk, Malone, who was chasing after him, pounced on Kobe like a hungry wolf and knocked Kobe out of the air. Pulled down hard, Kobe was thrown to the ground!

"Kobe!" Xie Chen quickly stepped forward, helped Kobe up, and then shouted to Karl Malone: ​​"Malone, you are going too far. This is not playing basketball at all. What is the difference between this and fighting?"

Karl Malone smiled like a rogue and shrugged: "He can do the same to me, that's my rule."

Unexpectedly, Kobe said instead: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, keep going!"

Kobe is so tenacious. Even at such a disadvantage, he still wants to continue dueling with Malone. No matter how unfavorable the rules are to Kobe, as long as he beats Malone on the basketball court, Kobe will feel happy, because the basketball court belongs to Kobe. territory.

However, it was difficult for Kobe to score in such a duel. Malone's actions were too rough. Kobe failed to score in the end, and the ball was transferred to Karl Malone.

Karl Malone had a huge height advantage over Kobe, so he pushed his back to the basket, then pushed Kobe away with his arm, succeeded in a layup, and scored the first point.

In fact, this is a confrontation of physical strength. As long as your strength exceeds that of the opponent, you can win.

Immediately afterwards, Malone used the same move to hit Kobe twice. He scored three goals first and won the duel.

After winning the game, Karl Malone walked up to Kobe and said sternly: "Kobe, I want you to solemnly apologize to me in front of the media!"

"There's no way!" Kobe was in a bad mood after losing and immediately refused.

Karl Malone picked up the basketball and said, "Okay, then I'll play until you want to!"

At this moment, Xie Chen stood up, stood between the two, faced Karl Malone, and said, "Can I compete for Kobe? If I win, how about we understand your grudges?"

Before Karl Malone could speak, Kobe first looked at Xie Chen and asked: "Xie, what are you doing? You know that with my personality, I can't agree to others helping me. Besides, you also saw what just happened It's a duel of nature. No matter how good you are at playing, you won't be able to perform at all when faced with a rogue defense like his. You are the most important player in the NBA right now. If something happens to you here, how can I deal with the Philippines? Are you going to explain to Fisher?"

Xie Chen knew that Kobe was proud and stubborn, so proud that even when someone tried to set him up for a pick-and-roll, he felt that he was invincible. However, Xie Chen did not want to see Kobe being hit so brutally by Karl Malone again and again. Hinting at his current poor state, he kept hinting that he would retire at the end of this season. If this is really Kobe's last season, Xie Chen hopes that he can finish it safely and healthily, and not be injured by Malone to the point where he can even finish the last season. If the game is incomplete, it will be a pity for hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Xie Chen does not want to see such a thing happen.

Xie Chen said to Kobe: "Of course I understand you. To a certain extent, your stubbornness and aggression have infected me and even made me who I am now. If you just have a fair one-on-one contest, no matter how you lose, , I won’t even interfere, it’s an insult to you, but you also said that this is a barbaric confrontation, and there must be barbarians to fight, I am a barbarian, you are not.”

"What did you say?" Kobe was shocked. Xie Chen said that he was a barbarian, but Kobe was not?

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, I am suspended by the league now. I can't figure out Adam Xiao Hua. Maybe he will suspend me for a whole season. So, it doesn't matter even if I get a little injured. You are different. You can't do it again." If the comparison continues, your career may end prematurely. Do you know how many people around the world watch you play? Even if the Lakers suck like that."

Kobe could no longer refute. Indeed, for the sake of those fans, he could no longer hurt himself, but Kobe still felt it was inappropriate to let Xie Chen play.

Xie Chen looked at Ma Long again and asked, "How about it? Do you dare to accept it?"

Karl Malone laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "I have long heard that Chrissie looks like someone in his youth. He doesn't take anyone seriously and dares to challenge Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant with his attitude as a rookie. , LeBron James, kid, do you think that after defeating them and winning a championship, you will be invincible?! You also saw how I defended just now. I know you think you are very powerful, but you are still in pain during the game. I beat my opponent, but I have to tell you, opponents like Oladipo are not good in my eyes. Since you want to seek abuse, fine, let me fight you first, and then continue to teach Kobe a lesson."

In fact, Ma Long has always been curious about Xie Chen and wanted to compete with Xie Chen. However, Ma Long was too old and his competitive status was too far behind that of a young man like Xie Chen. He had no chance to compete with Xie Chen. A fair duel, so Xie Chen proposed a fight, and he was overjoyed.

Before the two began to compete, Karl Malone had an evil mentality: "I have worked hard all my life and never won a championship. This kid won the championship in just his first year, and he won it with an absolute core position. I arrived and even won the FMVP. God is too partial and I want revenge!"

At this time, Kobe also pulled Xie Chen aside and whispered: "I advise you not to choose to break through. No matter how fast you are, he will stop you and use despicable ways that you can't think of."

"OK, it's a showdown between the strongest player in the NBA in the past and the strongest player in the league now. Unfortunately, there are no spectators." Karl Malone smiled lightly and passed the ball to Xie Chen, letting him attack first.

The exciting showdown begins!

Xie Chen held the ball on the spot and watched Malone's movements. This is like saying that I can't move even if the enemy can't move. Malone will not let time go by. Anyway, he thinks he has the advantage in physical confrontation. Xie Chen's figure looks better than Kobe's. Even worse, Ma Long doesn't even bother.

So, Ma Long's evil hand took the initiative to take out the ball. This was the first time that Xie Chen saw someone steal the ball so arrogantly and calmly. In the past, if anyone wanted to steal Xie Chen's ball, they would use very fast speed to take advantage of Xie Chen's inability to do so. The ball is broken, and Karl Malone's hand is so slow that he clearly tells you to reach for the ball, but you can't move because he's holding your arm with his other hand.

Xie Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse, so he immediately used Karl Malone, the man in front of him at his peak strength to get rid of Malone.

Ma Long was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Xie Chen had a tendency to break through to the right, it goes without saying that he had to use domineering force to stop him. Ma Long crossed his arms and attacked Xie Chen!

Kobe was a little worried about Xie Chen. He seemed to have foreseen the consequences of Xie Chen being hit hard and falling.

But the reality is not what Kobe thought.

Xie Chen had already guessed that Ma Long would do something evil, so he was ready to resist. When Ma Long swung his arm over, Xie Chen also raised his free left arm to attack Ma Long!

The two arms collided. This was a duel of strength. Both Kobe and Malone thought the other person would win. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen made Malone take a step back!

Ma Long couldn't resist Xie Chen!

"What?" Kobe, who was watching the game, was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

Xie Chen took the opportunity to quickly use Westbrook's breakthrough skills and rushed in like lightning. However, Ma Long could no longer catch up if he tried to catch up.

Xie Chen jumped up facing the basket, dribbled the ball with his hips and then dunked!

"Good shot! Beautiful goal, thank you!" Kobe clapped his hands and shouted loudly from the side. For the first time, he thought Xie Chen's dunk was so cool!

Karl Malone was stunned on the spot. He still hadn't realized what had just happened. How could Xie Chen knock him back when he swung his elbow?

"That power... is so domineering! It's so domineering!" Karl Malone murmured to himself. He knew what his strength was, but Xie Chen's strength made Ma Long confused. How powerful it must be to be able to defeat Xie Chen. Are you also defeated?

He didn't know that the one who defeated him was himself! That was when his strength was at its peak!

Xie Chen picked up the ball with a smile, gave Kobe a high-five, and then threw the ball to Karl Malone again, saying: "I know you don't obey me, but I want to tell you, even if you were born in this league, I will still You won’t be able to win a championship!”
