Super All-around Point Guard

So far, Xie Chen ranks first in the steals list with an average of 3.1 steals per game. The second place is Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, averaging 2.7 steals per game, which is far inferior to Xie Chen.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to steals, Xie Chen ranks in the top three in the league in terms of blocks per game and points per game. As the best point guard in the league, it is not surprising that he has a place on the steals and scoring charts, but It’s really not easy to appear on the shot-blocking list. Xie Chen averaged 3.4 blocks per game, beating Jordan, who ranked third. The top five are undoubtedly insiders, and only Xie Chen is a point guard. And the one who can suppress Xie Chen in the blocking list is none other than the Heat's former teammate Hassan Whiteside, who averages close to 5 blocks per game!

In recent games, Porzingis's blocking data has gradually increased. Porzingis will have one-on-one training with Xie Chen next. Xie Chen believes that if he trains to the point where even Xie Chen, the king of steals, can If you can't stop Porzingis' ball, then there will be few in the league who can easily make Porzingis make a mistake.

They replayed today's mistake again, making Porzingis deeply aware of how he lost the ball. Xie Chen also stepped forward to tackle the ball again and again. He was really merciless, and sometimes even Using brute force to snatch, Porzingis was horribly intercepted by Xie Chen at first. Slowly, the situation began to improve, and he gradually adapted to this speed of interception. Finally, when Xie Chen intercepted, Porzingis was Si can calmly dribble and dodge, and Xie Chen knows it has already paid off.

The Knicks' next game is against the Heat at home. After Xie Chen left the Miami Heat, people were not very optimistic about the Heat's prospects. However, they did not expect that since the start of the game, the Heat's record has ranked second in the Eastern Conference. With this year's Heat With the momentum, they will definitely be able to enter the playoffs, and judging from the current ranking, if the Knicks enter the playoffs, their opponent in the first round is likely to be the Miami Heat.

The Heat have a profound meaning to Xie Chen. The last time he went to Miami to play against this team, Xie Chen couldn't suppress his inner emotions. Now he is playing in New York, and Xie Chen will not play in the game. , this emotion is finally not that strong, and Xie Chen deeply realizes that the Miami Heat has nothing to do with him anymore, and the Knicks are his team.

Although the feelings are no longer so strong, the feelings for good brothers like Wade and Hassan will never change. Before the game, Xie Chen, wearing a suit, came to the Heat dugout to chat with these former teammates. got up.

Whiteside first mentioned Xie Chen's fight: "I watched the live broadcast of that game with Wade. When you and Oladipo were about to fight, I was so anxious. I didn't expect that in the end it was You beat him up and defeated the entire Magic team by yourself! Looks like I don’t have to worry about you anymore, hahaha.”

Hassan has been worried that Xie Chen will not have a real brother to help him after he comes to the Knicks, so he has always been worried about Xie Chen. Now that he knows Xie Chen's fighting ability, he feels a lot more relaxed.

Of course, Wade was even more impressed by Xie Chen: "Brother, you can always scare people, but you played too much this time. Adam Xiaohua hasn't said when you can compete yet? Damn it, you I didn’t hurt the fan. However, although your team is in desperate need of a victory now, I won’t let it go for your sake, haha.”

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Wade, Hassan, don't think that without me and Anthony, the Knicks will easily lose to you. Believe me, today will be a very fierce game, and our players will give you a good look." of."

"Are you talking about that big guy?" Wade looked at Porzingis in the distance, then smiled and said: "I will help you train him."

"Wade..." Xie Chen was shocked. Wade was indeed the person who knew Xie Chen best. He actually knew that Xie Chen was training Porzingis.

Hassan Whiteside also looked at Porzingis with a smile and said to Xie Chen: "I will also help educate him, but my method is more cruel. Xie, do you still remember when you drove me in a Porsche?" Send him to Mourning for devil training? I finally have a chance for revenge!"

"..." Xie Chen began to mourn Porzingis.

The game between the Knicks and the Heat started soon. Xie Chen once again watched the game as a bystander, but he was even more nervous and focused than the previous game. He wanted to know whether Porzingis had grown. The Heat are a good opponent. .

Whiteside is one of the most terrifying insiders in the league. Wade is still strong and still maintains the level of FMVP last season. Bosh has been in good form since his comeback. Coupled with rookies Winslow, Green, and Luol Deng, the superficial strength , let alone better than the Knicks, even if compared with the Cavaliers, it is not much different. However, the lack of stable ability from beyond the three-point line will become the Heat's Achilles heel, especially in the playoffs.

In fact, for the Heat last season, three-pointers were already a major weakness. The reason why they were able to compete with a three-point strong team like the Warriors in the finals was because Xie Chen's three-pointers alone made up for the Heat's entire defense. The big loophole is that now that Xie Chen is not here, although the Heat's current record is okay, but when they encounter strong teams, in the playoffs, they will understand how the Heat have changed without Xie Chen's stable three-pointers.

Porzingis shocked the Heat as soon as he came on. After he came on the court, he first made a three-pointer by himself, and then assisted Ci Shiping to make a three-pointer, gaining the lead at the beginning.

This is by no means a flash in the pan. As the Heat struggled to catch up, Porzingis continued to lead the team to score goals and expand the lead. Porzingis' performance in the first quarter was simply an All-Star level!

This made fellow rookie Winslow stunned!

Winslow is also a promising player among the rookies. He saw that Porzingis has become the core of the Knicks. Everyone gives him the ball. He also continues to score goals one after another, and his score is already higher than his previous game. He got more points in the whole game, and he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart: "Why do the Knicks use him so much? Why does he have such a good opportunity? But I have to wait and wait under D-WADE and Bosh. If Zen Master had chosen me, would the core of the Knicks be me now?"

Winslow was unwilling to give in. He knew that the Knicks wanted to train Porzingis when Xie Chen and Anthony were on a truce. He also knew that the Bulls made Porzingis suffer a lot in the last game and made numerous mistakes. Winslow Slo saw that Porzingis, as an inside man, dribbles a lot, giving him a chance to steal!

Seeing Porzingis holding the ball from the high post, Winslow on the right wing immediately rushed forward to steal it. Unexpectedly, Porzingis no longer acted as panicked as in the previous game. He had already experienced the fastest steal in the league. Because of his speed, he calmly turned his back, passed Winslow, and then made a very consistent underhand layup.

"Good shot!" Xie Chen couldn't help but applaud Porzingis. Unexpectedly, just one night of training would be effective in the next game. Porzingis's learning ability is really good.

Once again, Porzingis grabbed an offensive rebound. Winslow was unwilling to give in and came forward to get the ball again. Since Winslow grabbed the ball very fiercely this time, Porzingis started to "act" and pretend. After being hit hard, he threw the ball to the basket and got the whistle.

"This..." Winslow saw Porzingis' exaggerated movements and simply didn't understand what was happening. He knew very well that the force he just used could not be so heavy, but there was indeed suspicion of physical contact and foul. Winslow couldn't argue.

At this time, Hassan stepped forward and patted Winslow and said, "Don't be depressed. This rookie can't be so smart. He must have been taught by Xie. You lost to Xie, not him. Do you understand?"

However, Hassan's comfort did not have much effect, and Winslow's mentality was still greatly affected.

The trick just now was indeed taught to him by Xie Chen. In just one night, as a second grader, Xie Chen did not have much to teach Porzingis, but flopping was definitely something Xie Chen could teach. Porzingis is a white man, and white men generally have relatively good acting talents that can be developed. Especially since Porzingis is so thin, he will be at a huge disadvantage if he doesn't learn how to act.

In this way, Porzingis scored 22 points at halftime, leading the Knicks to a 6-point lead.

As soon as they returned to the locker room, the entire team touched Porzingis' head as a sign of encouragement, and Porzingis kept smiling shyly, looking very humble.

But the good times didn't last long. In the second half, Wade and Hassan Whiteside both got serious.

Wade used his wandering step to teach Porzingis a good lesson, causing Porzingis to foul one after another, and Hassan also showed his true qualities as a shot-blocker, blocking one of Porzingis. The Heat quickly overtook the score.

"The real time to test Porzingis has arrived. When scoring becomes difficult, and when the balance of winning tilts to the other side, can he still maintain his previous level and confidence?" Xie Chen values ​​Porzingis very much, because at the end of the season In the post-game, if it is an away game, Xie Chen may encounter a situation where he loses his ability. At that time, if Anthony has any problems again, he can only rely on this guy. To a certain extent, he may influence the trend of the playoffs! Unfortunately, he still doesn't understand his responsibility.

As expected, Porzingis was no longer as crazy and passionate as he was in the first half. He began to hesitate again. Xie Chen wished he could go up and kick him to remind him. However, what Xie Chen didn't expect was that even Ha What surprised both San and Luol Deng was that Wade suddenly angrily scolded Porzingis on the court!

"Rookie, what are you doing! Are you sleeping? The second half has already begun, you know? You are acting like a waste. Guess what your boss told me? He said you can help him win the championship. It’s so funny that they expect so much from you, a weakling.”

As an opponent, Wade took the initiative to reprimand Porzingis. It was not trash talk, but a tone that sounded like reprimanding a teammate. This shocked Xie Chen. Ci Shiping originally thought Wade was going to fight Porzingis. Gan Jia wanted to join in the fun, but when he saw that the two of them had no intention of making a move, they dispersed.

Wade immediately woke up Porzingis. A rookie like him needs constant encouragement and encouragement from his seniors. Wade's encouragement just now appeared very timely, and sooner or later it will not have such an effect.

Porzingis looked at Winslow. This guy has only scored 7 points now. Porzingis secretly said: "I have to cherish the hard-won opportunity now. When Xie and Anthony return, I won't be able to do this." I have a chance to grow, this team is mine now, maybe I only have this chance to be the boss in this life!"

Porzingis fights!

He hugged Hassan and fell to the ground for a rebound! After that, he slapped Winslow, blocked Wade, and interfered with one of Hassan's shots!

After Porzingis suddenly broke out for the second time, the Knicks actually took the lead again at the last moment!

"Porzingis is so strong! He's almost scoring 40 points! Oh my God, is he the best rookie in this class? No one like Towns or Okafor has scored close to 40! Jackson is really amazing. It’s time baby!”

"I have long despised those who laughed at him. The Knicks are now also one of the three giants, but one of the giants is not Lopez, but the rookie Porzingis. In two years, he will definitely be even better. Maybe, The Knicks will build a dynasty!"

The Knicks may really have a new Big Three, Xie Chen, Anthony, and Porzingis. Porzingis scored 40 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks today. This data is simply a super inside talent. Some data.

The Knicks fought with the Heat, who were second in the Eastern Conference, until the last moment before the winner was determined. The Knicks still lost the game because Porzingis committed six fouls and left the game with three minutes left. Many people said , if Porzingis had not been sent off, it is really hard to say who would win and who would lose.

After the game, when Xie Chen shook hands with his former coach Spoelstra and said goodbye, coach Spo said: "Xie, your luck has always been so good. Wherever you go, an amazing and outstanding insider will appear. He is a player who was looked down upon before. Once he becomes your teammate, he becomes extremely good. Porzingis has a great future and I hope he can help you in the playoffs."

"Thank you." Xie Chen said gratefully.

"By the way, you said in your tweet whether you can still shoot three-pointers with Curry's shooting posture. Is it true? If so, I really will not forgive you for lying to me for a whole season!" Coach Spoelstra said seriously.

Xie Chen smiled. He wanted to tell Si Bo the truth, but even if he told Si Bo, he wouldn't believe it, so he replied: "Well, I'm bragging just to get everyone to vote for me."

Spoelstra laughed and said: "The results of the second round of voting will come out tomorrow. I hope your big words have an effect."
