Super All-around Point Guard

Now the top scorer on the first-year team is Winslow, followed by Towns, followed by Porzingis. Winslow is defended by Wiggins, and Wiggins also promised to defend well. Xie Chen believes There is no need to worry about Wiggins' ability. As for Towns, he is inside and Xie Chen will not match up even if he wants to defend. However, Xie Chen still has a way to prevent Towns from scoring through his own defense.

Towns did score a lot of goals in the first quarter, but most of his scores came from assists from Lakers rookie Russell, and many of them were Russell rushing into the penalty area to attract the defense and then jumping in the air and passing to Tangs in seconds. Si asked Towns to pull up and dunk directly, so Xie Chen only needed to choke Russell and prevent him from easily breaking through.

These guys on the first-year team are not fools, especially Russell, whose season performance was not ideal but very smart. As soon as he came on the field, he realized the changes in his opponents and reminded his teammates: "They want to If we play seriously, we must also be serious, and we can just try to tie them in this quarter.”

Russell thought very well. Even if it was a tie in this quarter, they still led by 16 points at halftime. In the second half, even if they lost a little in the third quarter, they still had a greater chance of winning. However, Russell's thinking was still too naive. , too underestimated the abilities of Xie Chen and Wiggins.

After Xie Chen came on the court, he first assisted Wiggins for an alley-oop. Wiggins' alley-oop dunk was amazing, instantly igniting the atmosphere at the scene and announcing the beginning of the second-year team's counterattack.

Russell saw that Xie Chen and the others had begun to counterattack, and took the opportunity to ask Xie Chen: "Are we going to start chasing points? It's just a rookie game, why are you so serious? You want to shoot three-pointers, right? I'll let you shoot!"

Xie Chen laughed after hearing this. Since Russell joined the NBA, his skills have not been very good, but his trash talk seems to have the potential to be cultivated. He obviously can't guard Xie Chen's three-pointer, but instead lets Xie Chen shoot it. .

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I won't shoot three-pointers."

Russell laughed and walked over to catch the ball. As soon as he received the serve, he turned around and took only one step. There was a "pop" sound, and Xie Chen suddenly followed up to steal it!

This was unexpected for Russell! He never expected that Xie Chen would steal the ball at this position, so the basketball in his hand was knocked out by Xie Chen.

This time it was Zach LaVine's turn. LaVine did not retreat quickly. When he saw Xie Chen stealing the ball, he immediately rushed forward. After Xie Chen stole the ball, he saw LaVine coming and immediately threw it forward. LaVine took off on one foot and completed a beautiful back dunk.

Two dunks and two alley-oop assists by Xie Chen quickly reduced the point difference to 12 points.

"Blame me, blame me, I was too careless." Russell apologized to his teammates repeatedly. The first-year team served again, and Russell became more careful.

This time, Xie Chen did not go for the ball again, but just after halftime, when Russell was about to organize an attack, Xie Chen suddenly stepped forward to steal the ball again, scaring Russell and immediately retreated. Fortunately, Russell Er's dribbling skills are still quite good. No matter how strong Xie Chen is at stealing the ball, he can't succeed every time. However, at this moment, Wiggins also came forward to double-team.

As soon as he was double-teamed, Russell immediately panicked. He had only one thought in his mind: pass the ball out quickly.

At this time, Xie Chen had withdrawn from the defense, leaving Wiggins alone. He took two steps back and stood in front of Winslow, preparing to intercept Russell's pass!

Russell is still too young and has little experience. He will be at a loss when encountering double teams. He often makes mistakes at such times. It seems that he can no longer see anything in front of him. He also has no idea that Xie Chen has no idea at all. It was no longer there. He only remembered Winslow's location, so he quickly spread the word.

Winslow stood there blankly. When he saw Russell passing the ball, he actually wanted to shout "No". Then, soon, he saw that the ball that was originally passed to him was passed by Xie Chen. Easily truncate.

"Run!" After another interception of the ball, Xie Chen shouted to Wiggins. Instead of passing it directly to Wiggins, he threw it high to the half-court position. Wiggins threw Russell away and rushed over quickly. , took two steps across the midline and then received a pass from Xie Chen for an assist, and dunked easily again.

In the blink of an eye, there is only a 10-point difference. Does anyone still think that the second-year team will lose? Is a 10-point margin enough to give a first-year team peace of mind?

Especially for Payton, does he still feel that it is just the defense that cannot recover the lost points?

Payton, who was sitting off the court, was in torment. His face felt sore and red as if he had been hit. Just now in front of his teammates in the same class, Payton argued so loudly with Xie Chen, accusing Xie Chen of being irresponsible and not taking care of the situation. He took the game seriously and decided that it was impossible for Xie Chen to win the first-year team just because of his defense. But looking at it now, it is completely possible!

Commentator Yu Jia also said: "As Coach Zhang said just now, the game is really good to watch. Xie Chen caught up with just relying on defense. It is really scary. I think the best defensive player this season must be Xie Chen."

Does just two steals count as serious defense? This is not even close!

The first-year team was much more cautious in their next attack. They paid special attention to every pass and never forced the attack. Finally, they handed the ball to Porzingis outside the three-point line. Xie Chen knew that Porzingis Zingis has the ability to shoot from long range, and he grasped the rhythm of his shooting very accurately, so he immediately stepped forward. After Porzingis took the shot, there was a big shot, and Xie Chen, who flew up, took Porzingis' shot. Capped!

"What?" Porzingis was shocked. He had never played against Xie Chen. As a teammate, he could often appreciate Xie Chen's power, but until he became his actual enemy, he realized that Xie Chen was not only powerful, but also terrifying!

With this amazing bullet speed and this domineering shot blocking, Porzingis is really lucky to be Xie Chen's teammate.

Needless to say, after blocking the shot, he also succeeded in a dunk, and the point difference was already within 10 points. Next, Wiggins blocked Winslow again, and the rebound was firmly controlled by the sophomore team. Soon, The two teams were tied.

Payton didn't dare to say another word off the court. In this 16-point difference, Xie Chen only scored two points, and there was no dunk in a defensive state. The rest were all assists. In other words, Xie Chen really only relied on defense. The 16-point difference was recovered.

After the two sides tied, Xie Chen and Wiggins did not pursue the victory. After all, it was the All-Star weekend, and there was no need for the two to do so brilliantly. If it were a normal game, they would have gone from 16 points behind to 16 points ahead. Only then did he give up.

Xie Chen did not play for a particularly long time. Even on the court, he would give the ball to Wiggins for him to play, or he would mainly pass the ball to assist teammates and defend and block shots. After the second half, no matter how hard the first-year rookies worked, , they just couldn't take the lead anymore. In the end, the second-year team defeated the first-year team without any suspense. Wiggins was named the most valuable player of the game, and Xie Chen was the team's assist king.

Everyone can see that Xie Chen deliberately helped Wiggins to win this award. In fact, in many people's minds, Wiggins should have won this award last year. It is a pity that Xie Chen played all the games for the first time last year. The star also cares about it, so he plays very seriously. It is impossible for Wiggins to beat Xie Chen.

Porzingis also hugged his teammate Xie Chen tightly after the game and said happily: "I am so lucky to be your teammate. Only when I became your opponent today did I know how scary you are!"

Towns, Okafor, Winslow and others beside them looked at them with dull eyes, unspeakable envy, but Winslow was better than the other rookies, because the Heat were definitely able to Those who make the playoffs can even compete for the championship, so Winslow also has a chance to appear in the finals in his first year. Others are not so lucky. After the All-Star Game, the regular season will be very short and very fast. Then, when the regular season is over, those of them who cannot make the playoffs will also end their first-year careers. Who can believe it? You won’t feel satisfied.

The All-Star Rookie Challenge ended in an ordinary way, and it did not attract much attention on the Internet. For Xie Chen's fans, there is no regret for not winning the MVP of the Rookie Game. Their requirements are very low. , as long as you don’t get injured on this day, everyone is staring at tomorrow, tomorrow’s dunk contest that will definitely shock the world!

The day before the dunk contest, the NBA 2016 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest on sinaweibo became the number one hot search on the list, not to mention other specialized NBA community forums. Everyone was discussing tomorrow's dunk contest and guessing about dunks. The results of the competition.

After dinner in the evening, Wang Zhihui browsed the Internet for a while, then asked Xie Chen with a smile: "Who do you think everyone believes in winning the championship in China's online voting?"

Xie Chen felt that his popularity should be no worse than theirs: "Am I not number one?"

Wang Zhihui handed his phone to Xie Chen and said, "In the NBA, you are number one, in Hupu, you are number two, and James is number one."

Xie Chen shrugged and didn't care at all about these votes. How could those fans who didn't know the truth know Xie Chen's true strength?

After a while, Wang Zhihui answered a phone call and said to Xie Chen in a panic: "JAY-Z has arrived in Toronto. LeBron James just picked him up at the airport in person."

JAY-Z is an American hip-hop singer. He is a hallmark figure in the rap industry. He is the greatest rapper in history. He has great status and influence. He is also the owner of the Brooklyn Nets. Many NBA players are I grew up listening to his songs, and LeBron James and JAY-Z have a close personal relationship. They have been good friends for many years.

After hearing this, Xie Chen asked doubtfully: "Did JAY-Z come over to watch All-Stars too?"

Wang Zhihui shook his head: "It's not just that simple. Maybe you are the only one among the superstars who simply thinks that the dunk contest only requires preparation for dunks. According to the news I got, at the entrance ceremony of the dunk contest tomorrow, JAY-Z will help James will take the stage and will sing live."

"Oh." Xie Chen was not too surprised. "I found that you know James's movements very well. Could it be that you have placed some of our people around him? I didn't realize that you still have such potential."

Xie Chen made fun of Wang Zhihui, and Wang Zhihui also couldn't laugh or cry. For superstars like Xie Chen and James, every appearance is extremely important, especially when there are two superstars in a competition, it is inevitable to compare the pomp and circumstance. You can't just think about dunking and forget about these things. Zach LaVine and Westbrook can do it hastily, but popular stars like Xie Chen and James can't.

Wang Zhihui said: "I have mentioned this to you before. When you go on stage, do you want to design it specially? You said you can simply go on stage. Now, your opponent has called JAY-Z. I heard that Westbrook and Zach LaVine are also looking for help, are you sure you want to simply go in alone?"

Wang Zhihui said it was fine to be simple, but when it came to loneliness, it was terrible. Thinking of the single life he lived before getting the basketball replica system, no matter whether it was a white girl, a black girl or a yellow girl, they were not as obsessed with themselves as they are now.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen felt that it was necessary to ask someone to help him. Scarlett Johansson was definitely going to go tomorrow, but it was a bit inappropriate to ask Scarlett. The main reason was the relationship between Scarlett and Katie, plus the two People have had scandals before.

"I thought of a female star who is both beautiful and famous." Xie Chen said with sudden joy.

Agent Wang Zhihui also quickly became excited: "Female star? Who is it? Could it be Scarlett?"

If James invites a male star, Xie Chen invites a female star, there is nothing to lose.

"Chen Yihan." Xie Chen replied.

Wang Zhihui was slightly disappointed. Chen Yihan is also a famous female star. Unfortunately, her fame is only in China. Not many Americans know about her. As for her figure, how hot can you expect from a girl who is famous for her cuteness and freshness? figure!

Xie Chen said: "She sent me a text message in the afternoon saying that she had arrived in Toronto. If I invite her, she will definitely accept it happily."

Wang Zhihui said: "But it's not interesting to have her accompany you alone. I'm not saying she's not beautiful, but what attracts you to her may not attract the audience in Toronto. And she's not a singer either. You Just leading a little cutie to appear so dryly, I think it’s still not perfect.”

Of course Xie Chen was unhappy after hearing this, and quickly said: "She didn't come to Toronto alone, she came with her good friend Zhang Junning. I can invite them both at the same time, and I don't think she will refuse. .”

"Who? Zhang Junning? Wow, is she here too? She is my goddess!" The originally depressed manager's eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited.

Xie Chen looked down at the agent and asked, "Isn't she a cutie? Doesn't she have a hot figure?"

The manager blushed and felt very ashamed, and quickly changed the subject: "Now that we have these two beauties with amazing temperaments, I think it is necessary to invite someone else."

"who?"

"Taylor Swift."
