Super All-around Point Guard

The Grizzlies have long experienced Xie Chen's astonishing speed as he ran wildly. In the first three quarters of the game, they could still try to sprint to stop it. However, after the fourth quarter, as the players' physical strength was exhausted, they It is difficult to rush from the backcourt to the frontcourt at a very fast speed. Now it is the third overtime. The bodies of these players have long been unable to cope with it, whether they are big men or defenders, so they can only watch Xie helplessly. Chen continued to put on a wonderful performance.

"In the third overtime, SHOWTIME still didn't stop! Thank you for being great!"

"In terms of this ability alone, no other player can compare with Xie, not even Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant!"

Lakers fans and opponents found that whenever Xie Chen played in overtime at home, he would always appear more excited and hungry than others. Others would expect it to end early, but he seemed to be unsatisfied and not playing enough. This kind of mental state is something no one else has, and Mike Conley has to admire him. In terms of physical fitness alone, Xie Chen can beat him.

In the end, although the Grizzlies played well and the Lakers made many mistakes, after three overtimes, relying on Xie Chen's final performance, the Lakers still won this victory and the winning streak reached Eight games.

Xie Chen didn't work too hard tonight. He played three overtimes and didn't score more than 50 points. Among his teammates, Luol Deng scored the most points besides Xie Chen, scoring 30+. Ingram also scored 20 points. It's just that this guy didn't perform well in overtime.

Ingram was originally ranked first in the rankings of the best rookies, but gradually, without Xie Chen deliberately helping him win beautiful data, his ranking has now dropped to second. The first one is of course No. 1 pick Ben Simmons. , and he will soon be overtaken and ranked third. This person who has the ability to surpass Ingram is the Lakers' next opponent, the Timberwolves' No. 1 point guard among this draft's rookies, Chris Deng. kindness!

The Timberwolves are ranked sixth in the Western Conference so far this season. They are playing quite well, and some of their wins are Warriors-style big wins. This is really surprising. Next, they will go to Los Angeles to play the Lakers away from home. The Lakers are currently in the limelight, which is a headache for the new Timberwolves coach Thibodeau. These young players also know how difficult it is to deal with Xie Chen's team, but they don't seem to be worried at all. Several As soon as the guy got on the plane, he started singing excitedly.

Karl Downs, Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, and Dunn all turned into soul singers and sang "A House and Miles" and "Party in the USA" one after another, and they couldn't stop at all.

Veteran Kevin Garnett, who has not yet chosen to retire, looked at these young people with an indifferent look. Garnett is nearly 20 years older than Dunn and the others. They are two generations apart. Of course, he cannot blend in with these young people. world.

Coach Thibodeau, who is completely opposite to Popovich, also had a helpless expression. He held his chin and looked at these guys blankly, cursing in his heart: "This is the only price to pay for having young and talented players." , It’s simply too noisy!”

They clearly knew that the next opponent would be difficult to deal with, so were they really not nervous at all? of course not.

As soon as they arrived at the famous Staples Center Arena, these young guys started to become serious. To be precise, the moment they saw Xie Chen, their expressions changed.

The Timberwolves are really talented, and the guys they have don't look scary now, but if it is five or ten years later, when we mention these names again and are surprised to find that they are on the same team, we will definitely sigh.

Andrew Wiggins, a rare outstanding player among rookies in recent years, is in the same class as Xie Chen. He averaged 21+4 per game last season. He is an out-and-out star player and will definitely be able to become a top ten player in the league in the future.

Zach LaVine, his reputation may be even greater than that of Wiggins. He shocked the world by participating in the dunk contest and winning the championship that year as a rookie. He competed again the next year, but it was a pity that he met Xie Chen, otherwise he would have won two dunk contests now. , his talent is extremely rare.

Karl Towns, as the rookie No. 1 pick last season, averaged 18.3 and 10.5 rebounds per game. This guy was almost selected to the third team in his first season, and under Garnett's training, he became more and more talented on the court. With the demeanor of a team leader, it is only a matter of time before this guy becomes the number one center in the league. He is definitely capable of becoming a top five player in the league!

After the Timberwolves have so many talented young players, this year's Timberwolves picked the strongest point guard in this rookie class with the fifth pick in the first round, Dunn!

Dunn has very good physical condition and athletic ability. Many players only gradually strengthen their physical condition to adapt to the NBA after arriving in the NBA. He does not need it. His current body is enough to play with NBA opponents. His first step is extremely quick, his style is somewhat similar to Wall and Wade, and he is an excellent defender. He has replaced Rubio as the core defender of the Timberwolves this season.

During the warm-up, Karl Towns hung one arm on the shoulder of rookie Dunn. He looked very much like his big brother. Towns looked at Xie Chen opposite, who looked relaxed, and whispered in Dunn's ear. : "Chris, the guy opposite will be the first challenge you encounter in the NBA. He is the most difficult opponent in the league. You are the best point guard in this draft and he is the best in the league. point guard, and he likes to play against the rookie Jiaozuo who just entered the NBA. Last season, I... In short, do your best this time, don't lose to him!"

Chris Dunn has been staring at Xie Chen. In fact, Dunn has never told outsiders that his idol is Xie Chen. The achievements that Xie Chen has and achieved are what he dreams of, including Xie Chen's various skills. , Dunn has actually been studying and stealing lessons.

Xie Chen also noticed that there was a strange face looking at him across the street, but Xie Chen ignored him and walked over to say hello to his old friend.

Xie Chen was very happy and emotional to see Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine in the same class again.

"Andrew, Zach, we are already old men in the league, haha." Xie Chen said with emotion.

Wiggins smiled and said: "Haha, yes, when I think of the scene when I competed with you for the best rookie, it feels like it was just yesterday!"

Wiggins and Xie Chen, the old rivals in the same class, have not played against each other many times in the past two seasons. It is no wonder that Wiggins has this illusion. How much he misses competing with Xie Chen for the best rookie, unlike Now, people no longer compare Xie Chen with him.

Xie Chen looked at Zach Lavin and felt that this guy was a little stronger than before. Could it be that he had also gained weight? Will bouncing be affected?

Xie Chen asked LaVine: "I will continue to participate in the dunk contest in this All-Star Game. What about you?"

Zach LaVine became famous through dunks. In terms of team status, he is not as good as Towns and Wiggins, and may gradually become inferior to Dunn, so he must seize entertainment outside of these games to increase his influence.

Zach LaVine thought for a while and replied: "Well, maybe I will go. Although I know that your talent and ability are not inferior to mine, and I have lost to you once, but I will think of a few more interesting ones." Creativity, try to rely on this to defeat you."

At this time, Andrew Wiggins also interjected: "Hey guys, how about I join in? Thanks, have you seen the 720-degree dunk I passed from INS?"

Wiggins once attempted a 720-degree dunk during training. He recorded it and posted it on the Internet. Basically, many stars and fans saw it. Someone showed Carter Wiggins' dunk on his mobile phone. Then asked Carter, can you do 720 degrees when you are at your peak? Carter asked rhetorically, is he done? Then Carter learned that he had not finished it, and said calmly: I can do the 720 degrees that I didn't make now, without having to reach the peak!

Xie Chen only cared about one question: "Wiggins, I just want to know if you are dizzy?"

"Well, I couldn't find the north when I landed." Wiggins said honestly.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

When coach Thibodeau saw his players chatting so happily with their opponents, he couldn't help but become a little angry, and secretly said: "How can these two guys be so close to the enemy? Karl Towns still has the character of the Wolf King back then. Don’t talk to the devil Xie at all.”

However, just as Thibodeau finished praising his proud disciple in his heart, Karl Downs came over and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, hello."

Xie Chen also looked at Towns: "Hello, the future number one center."

Towns was obviously a little flattered. This young guy would not hide his emotions or anger, and looked overjoyed: "Oh, thank you, I thought you thought the number one center in the future would be Porzingis, haha, we all know that. , if it weren't for you last season, he wouldn't have been able to compare with me. It seems that since Andrew Wiggins's class, the best rookie has always been related to the Timberwolves and you. This year, your team has Ingram. We also have Kris Dunn, this kid looks a lot like you, and he has scored 30 points in two consecutive games recently. Maybe the battle for Rookie of the Year will soon be between Ben Simmons and Dunn."

Xie Chen wants to praise Ingram as the best rookie. No one can change this. As the best point guard in the league and as the MVP, he should make his teammates better. Xie Chen took a look and looked very Dunn, who was not as mature as a rookie, said softly: "Really? He won't be able to score so many points this time."

After saying that, Xie Chen left. Wiggins looked at Xie Chen's expression and shouted something bad: "Towns, you shouldn't show off in front of Xie Chen that he scored 30 consecutive points. Kris Dunn is going to suffer today." ”

Dunn was a little nervous, but he still showed composure and composure: "I'm waiting for him to defend me!"

The game started soon, and the most nervous ones were the two rookies, Ingram and Dunn. Both of them wanted to prove that they were better than the other, and Dunn also wanted to prevent Xie Chen from getting used to him.

Dunn did not start the game. The Timberwolves' starting point guard was still Rubio. However, Dunn came on as a substitute within a few minutes of Rubio playing. It seems that Rubio's physical condition is not very good. Dunn should have a lot of Playing time.

Every outstanding rookie will be brutally tortured when encountering Xie Chen. I don’t know how Xie Chen likes this. Fortunately, Shaquille O’Neal, the God of Basketball Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and James did not encounter Xie Chen during their rookie period. Otherwise, these All great players will have a painful past...

Dunn knew that Xie Chen would not let him go. His performance in these two games was very good, with 30+ points in two consecutive games. His scoring even exceeded the team's Wiggins and Towns, and he also had 7 assists in these two games. Led the team to two consecutive victories, which has seriously threatened Xie Chen's teammate Ingram's rookie ranking.

So he decided to strike first!

Since I have been in hot form recently and feel very good, I will try to beat Xie Chen a few times.

Xie Chen started to defend Dunn alone, and countless netizens were looking forward to the start of the Jiaozuo Ren.

This is Xie Chen's first time playing against Dunn. Before this, he had not even watched Dunn's video. He only heard the coach occasionally mention a few words about his technical characteristics. With Xie Chen's current strength and status, he also has You are not qualified to understand a rookie opponent.

Dunn forced Xie Chen on the right side. Xie Chen did not use Artest's defensive ability for fear of scaring him. After some physical contact between the two, Xie Chen really felt that the rookie's physical confrontation was not bad. He and Xie Chen Chen is about the same height, and the physical confrontation is not much different. The two really have many similarities.

It was not easy for Dunn to force Xie Chen to score, but Dunn stepped back and then shot from the right wing. Xie Chen did not expect this move, and he made the first shot.

"Haha, Dunn, well done!" Karl Towns was excited. Dunn has been really hot recently, and he actually scored the first goal against Xie Chen in singles.

Many Lakers fans said: "Who is this guy? Not many rookies dare to beat Xie Chen alone as soon as he comes up. He can brag about this ball for a lifetime!"

Xie Chen didn't take him too seriously, but when he played Dunn in singles, he found that this guy's defense was really good. He was not a guy who could get rid of easily. He had fast speed and good physical confrontation. , and has a strong defensive awareness, and even knows Xie Chen's offensive routine very well. Xie Chen missed Dunn's shot for the first time in singles!

At this time, Karl Downs became even more excited: "Xie Jiaozuoren failed! Haha!"

At the same time, Andrew Wiggins suddenly showed his power, knocked down the rookie Ingram with a dribble breakthrough, and then went straight to the basket and dunked Mozgov domineeringly!

Wiggins seems to be ushering in a new outbreak this season!

Except for Xie Chen, rookies always have a period of growth, and Wiggins' growth period seems to be slowly coming to an end.

Then, Karl Towns hit a three-pointer inside and out, and the Timberwolves led the Lakers by ten points!

"They are going to do something big this season!" Luke Walton exclaimed.

Thanks to Memory Like Poison and Drago Kuangshao for the reward!
