Super All-around Point Guard

Jordan and Pippen were a perfect match on the court, but after retiring, the two rarely appeared together in the public eye. It is meaningless to talk about their private relationship. After all, the two have gained too much together. Xie Chen felt very wonderful to see the greatest duo smiling in front of him.

The last time I saw Jordan and Pippen was during the Legend Challenge. At that time, they were at the peak of their lives, handsome and charming. Now, they smile with wrinkles. Pippen looks older than Jordan. I wonder why. It made many Bulls fans sigh with emotion.

"Michael, Scottie Pippen, why are you together?" Xie Chen quickly put down the basketball and walked over. The guys training with him were also surprised to see Jordan and Pippen.

Xie Chen was not curious about Jordan's visit. The two had been in contact by phone. Jordan also said that if he had the opportunity to go to Los Angeles, he would definitely visit Xie Chen.

Jordan smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. I met him on the plane, and then came over to look for you. Seeing how sweaty you were, you were training very hard. I was thinking about whether to I’ll take a photo of you and send it to reporters so they can report it.”

Xie Chen rarely felt this tired, because in the past he used system abilities, which did not consume much of Xie Chen's physical strength, but now the special training plan consumes Xie Chen's own physical strength.

"Are you practicing a shocking dunk? Or a three-point shot from another shooting posture? I was just talking to Michael about your All-Star status. He said he would not give you high scores. I think You have to bribe him well." Pippen laughed.

Xie Chen laughed and said: "Before I dunk, I will take away all the score cards with less than 10 points in his hand."

Because both Jordan and Pippen also had itchy hands and wanted to exercise, they also changed their clothes and played with Xie Chen for a while. Although Jordan and Pippen were not in the same competitive state as when they played in the past, they still The tacit understanding remains the same. Zen Master regards Xie Chen and Anthony as the next pair of Jordan and Pippen, but Xie Chen believes that he and Anthony have not yet reached this level of tacit understanding.

Thinking of the Bulls duo, I can't help but think of the problem of facing the Bulls in the playoffs. The Chicago Bulls will definitely make it to the playoffs. For the Cavaliers and other teams, maybe the Bulls are not terrible, but for Xie Chen, the Bulls are It is simply the team that he fears most. Of course, if the Los Angeles Lakers also have a chance to compete for the championship, then the Lakers will have to join them, even if Kobe is old.

Playing away games is bound to encounter a legendary team. The last time they played against the legendary Bulls, they lost miserably. There was no hope of winning at all. Xie Chen wanted to know if there was any way to check and balance this team. If you want to say who knows best That team has no one better than themselves.

Xie Chen suddenly invited the two of them: "I will go to T.NT TV station to record a program later. Do you want to go and have fun together?"

"Are you talking about that OPEN COURT? I'm happy to, as long as the people there don't object." Pippen laughed, referring to Thomas the Smiling Assassin. Thomas once publicly criticized Pippen on this show as just a dick, no one. I'm not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Thomas. Last summer, Pippen had an online war with O'Neal. Speaking of which, Pippen made a lot of enemies there, and Pippen didn't even mind.

With Jordan's status, he actually disdains participating in this kind of program. Among the people in it, Charles Barkley has a good relationship with Jordan. O'Neal and Thomas have nothing to do with each other. At most, they have played together in the past.

Jordan hesitated but agreed.

When the program director learned that Xie Chen had invited Jordan and Pippen, he was so excited. It was absolutely an honor for these two great gods, Jordan and Pippen, to come to this program. The director had promised Xie Chen that the content of the program would be It is entirely up to Xie Chen to arrange it himself, and they will not have any interference.

When they arrived at the TV station, Jordan and Pippen greeted these old friends and rivals very happily, and the scene was even a bit touching.

At the beginning of the show, Xie Chen faced the camera and said: "Welcome to this episode of the show. This time I will still host it, and I also invited two heavyweight guests. Let us welcome Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen."

The scene began to cheer, and everyone clapped their hands. Jordan and Pippen smiled and waved. After that, before Xie Chen could speak again, Jordan was the first to speak: "Before our MVP host begins, I want to first Say a few words, Thomas, I watched one of your programs, and I want to say a few words of justice for my former good teammate. You said that he was nothing without me, and you said that he was not qualified to say "You can't join the team." If so, I think you don’t have enough respect for him. We are indispensable for each other’s success.”

Jordan is very serious, and he is very scary when he is serious. If you don't know Jordan, you may only think that he is a scary old man, but anyone who has played against Jordan knows what Jordan's serious expression means.

Thomas' expression was ugly. He didn't expect that Jordan would still be willing to help Pippen at this time. Thomas had always been a braggart about Joe on the show. It was even more impossible to challenge Jordan when he saw him in person. Thomas quickly stood up from his seat and smiled at Jordan. And Pippen bent down and said: "My fault, Michael, Scott, please forgive me and don't torture me anymore!"

Thomas's expression and words were very exaggerated, and everyone else laughed too. Jordan and Pippen also laughed. Then, Jordan looked at O'Neal again: "You said your strongest Lakers lineup can beat us by 50 points?"

Everyone laughed again and looked at O'Neal as if they were watching a good show. O'Neal once made wild remarks, saying that the Lakers' all-time best lineup and the Bulls' all-time best lineup could win by 50 points. At that time, Pippen stood up and told O'Neal. After arguing with him, Jordan ignored him. Now when he saw O'Neal, he didn't expect that Jordan still remembered this incident and actually asked O'Neal face to face, and it was still on the show!

O'Neal suddenly pretended to be stupid: "What? Someone actually said that we can beat you by 50 points? Why didn't I know about this?"

The whole audience burst out laughing. Xie Chen couldn't help but be conquered by Jordan again. He was so awesome and domineering. Once Jordan opened his mouth, no one dared to show off in front of him. This was the intimidation brought by Jordan's 6 championships in the past. Xie Chen secretly vowed that he would compete for the championship again. Only with enough honors will others recognize you.

If O'Neal has more championship rings than Jordan, and more FMVPs than Jordan, I believe that with O'Neal's character, he will not admit defeat in such a matter.

After talking about O'Neal, Jordan looked at Charles Barkley again, and then called Barkley's name. Barkley made a surprised and innocent expression, "Why am I still here?" I never said anything disrespectful to you!

Unexpectedly, Jordan smiled and said: "Charles, your officiating is as bad as your playing skills."

Jordan took the opportunity to tease his old friend Barkley. Barkley smiled helplessly and asked Xie Chen: "Okay, let's start today's program. Xie, please invite the two of them here. I guess today's theme must be something like They have a relationship.”

Xie Chen nodded: "Yes, today's theme is, think of yourself as me, and each of you is Chris Xie. In this Knicks team, if you meet Jordan and Pippen What method should we use to win the 72-win Bulls team we led?"

This time Xie Chen's theme was even weirder. He actually asked them all to change their identities and think about the problem from Xie Chen's perspective. Moreover, the imaginary enemy was not James' Cavaliers, but the past Bulls.

At this time, Pippen asked: "Do Michael and I also have this fantasy?"

Xie Chen replied: "Yes, you also have to think about me, how to deal with you in the past."

Xie Chen asked the question for a long time, but no one answered first. The place was very quiet, and everyone looked thoughtful. Kenny Smith first pointed at Thomas: "Normally you don't get excited when talking about Jordan. ? Why don’t you talk today? "

Smith laughed. Jordan himself was present, and he was really embarrassed to speak: "Because Jordan and Pippen are here, so I don't know what to say. If there is something wrong with what I said, I hope they can Don't mind it. My opinion is that the Knicks are not a historically strong team, but the Bulls are. There is a gap between the two sides. At that time, the Bulls' triangle offensive system had become more and more mature. Jordan He is also willing to trust his teammates, and even trust the offensive options ranked fourth or fifth, so it is useless to just pinch Jordan alone. Scottie Pippen is of course also very good. The Bulls team can pinch The defense of any team from position 1 to position 3 is too good, and Xie’s Knicks just rely on Xie and Anthony. I think the offense of the two will become very troublesome. If you want to win, very difficult."

Thomas still chose to brag about Jordan, and everyone else had the same view. They basically talked at length about how strong the Bulls were, but did not give any actual methods to deal with the Bulls. This was not the result Xie Chen wanted.

Finally, it was Jordan and Pippen's turn to speak.

Pippen spoke first: "If I were you, if I met that team back then, I would probably try my best to break through their defense. At that time, I would have doubted myself, when you kept on top of me. If you hit the ball, I might think I can't guard you at all."

"Pippen will doubt himself...this is a weakness that can be exploited." Xie Chen kept it in mind.

Finally, it was Jordan who spoke. Jordan held his chin and thought for a long time. He really put himself into it: "If I were Chrissie, if I had such accurate and fast three-pointers, and such abundant physical strength, Good physical contact and fadeaway jump shot, and if I don't have many talented teammates that I can rely on, I will definitely take the game tightly in my hands and never let it go away for a moment. As for that Bulls team, then At that time, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman looked perfect, but they were not flawless. Although the Knicks were not strong as a whole, they definitely had a chance to win a game."

"I really put myself in just now. I am Xie. Then when I met the Bulls, I would personally defend Jordan, that is, myself, and then talk trash to him. He will definitely talk trash to me. , then I will teach him a lesson with a three-pointer, and then say to him, "Look, I made another three-pointer." I will deliberately make him angry. There are two consequences of anger. The first is to make him chaotic. , the second is to make him explode more powerfully. I have never thought about how to deal with myself. If there is really a way, then I may keep the score in the lead, lead from beginning to end, especially in the middle. There can't be a go-ahead in the second half, otherwise I will definitely catch up and solve the game at that time."

Xie Chen listened very carefully to Jordan's words, because every word may determine the fate of the Knicks' playoffs this year.

"Leading the score from beginning to end, not giving Jordan a chance to overtake..." Xie Chen also kept this sentence in mind. This was said by Jordan and Pippen themselves. They are the ones who know themselves best. Weak people, knowing the weaknesses of Jordan and Pippen, Xie Chen will know where to start when dealing with the Bulls.

After this time, Xie Chen never came to TNT to host a program again. These two hostings allowed Xie Chen to gain a lot. First, he copied the roster, and then he learned how to deal with the strongest opponents in the playoffs. Moreover, Xie Chen His special training ability is getting better and better. Xie Chen really gained a lot from this suspension.

However, the team is still in the shadow of a losing streak.

After thirteen consecutive losses, everyone on the team was listless and without any motivation. It didn’t look like a team that could compete for the championship this year. Xie Chen really couldn’t wait any longer. He took the initiative to call Adam Xiaohua and asked what he was doing. He can only come back when the time comes, but Adam Xiao Hua also asked Xie Chen to wait for the final results of the All-Star voting to be released.

Then, while waiting, the Knicks lost, lost, and lost again!

Sixteen consecutive losses!

The Knicks actually lost sixteen games in a row! It has simply become a joke in the league. Let alone the championship, some people think it is a miracle that the Knicks can still make the playoffs!

The Knicks' losing streak is catching up with the 76ers, and they are already ranked third from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, only slightly better than the Nets and 76ers. Teams like the Magic, Wizards, and Celtics seem destined not to make the playoffs. , ranking above the Knicks!

Knicks fans have been endlessly disappointed in the past month or so. They don't know when this cold winter will end.

Finally, on January 24th, the final voting results for the 2016 Toronto All-Star Game were released!

Xie Chen beat Curry and James to become the All-Star Game vote king for the second consecutive year!

Less than ten minutes after the results were announced, Xie Chen received a call from Adam Xiaohua.

"Get ready to play!"
