Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 687: Turn 360 degrees and buckle!

Staples Center, due to the Lakers' continuous home games, Los Angeles Lakers fans are also very happy. They can watch the Lakers games at home every two days. This time the opponent is still strong, the Toronto Raptors were last season No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and the current position this season happens to be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

"The Toronto Raptors still perform very well in the regular season, but it's a pity that they are eliminated early in the playoffs every year. Last season, they finally got first place in the Eastern Conference, but they were beaten by Xie. It's really pitiful."

"Last season, if the Cleveland Cavaliers hadn't deliberately compromised in the final stage, the Raptors' record might not have been as good as the Cavaliers', but this season it might be possible."

Although this is a nominal battle between the No. 1 team in the Western Conference and the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, in most people's eyes, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference will not be the Lakers, and the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference should not be represented by the Raptors.

Raptors head coach Casey said to the players before the game started: "Our opponent is the only team in the league currently trying to win ten consecutive victories. We cannot let them succeed. Although Chris Shee is no longer our opponent in the Eastern Conference, But last season, he deliberately kept the team eighth in the Eastern Conference just to face us, and then swept us, have you forgotten? Win this game for me!"

After the game started, the Raptors' offensive was really fierce. Kyle Lowry, DeRozan, and Valanciunas were all very hot. They always had the advantage of the score. Until the second quarter, the Lakers had no chance. France turned the score over.

Luke Walton is a little anxious. He can see that his opponent is playing very fiercely. It seems that because of Xie Chen last season, he does not want the Lakers to win this game. If they lose this game, Walton will not complain. , as a rookie coach, he should have suffered the second defeat of his career.

But Xie Chen doesn't want to lose to this Raptors. The current Raptors team is no different from the Raptors team they met in the playoffs last season. The previous Raptors team was beaten by Xie Chen, 4-0. If the eliminated opponents cannot beat the Raptors today, wouldn't it prove that Xie Chen's current team is far inferior to the New York Knicks last season?

Although the Raptors were leading the score, coach Casey was still very cautious. He told all the players during the timeout: "The Lakers' counterattack always starts with Xie's dunk, such as his free throw line in the last game. The dunk instantly ignited the scene, changed the game, and led his teammates to counterattack. We must prevent this from happening. If Xie completes the steal near the three-point line, even if you know you can't stop him To score, you have to rush out for me, even if you don't do anything when you get to the basket, so as to save him from showing off those messy dunks."

This is the home court of the Lakers, and Xie Chen is the strongest dunk master in the NBA. Coach Casey knows how much young people nowadays like to watch Xie Chen dunk. And although dunks have been played by so many dunk masters for so many years, it stands to reason that It is said that tricks should have been played all over the place long ago, but Xie Chen is always able to develop novel dunk moves that shock the audience.

A dunk might start the Lakers' counterattack. Coach Casey couldn't take this risk, so he ordered his players not to give Xie Chen a chance to dunk against an empty basket.

DeRozan's performance was still stable, helping the team increase the score to 15 points. At this time, he finally felt relaxed, so he said to Xie Chen: "We are not the Raptors that you defeated last season. , you are no longer an opponent who can sweep us away."

Xie Chen replied: "You are so convoluted, buddy."

DeRozan said bluntly: "I mean, you are weaker than us. We can continue to be No. 1 in the East, but you will soon fall."

Xie Chen was not polite: "I don't doubt that you will continue to be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and I don't doubt that you will be eliminated soon in the playoffs."

"You..." DeRozan was naturally upset after being poked by Xie Chen. DeRozan is considered a veteran of the Raptors. He was with this team in 2009 and only gained 22 wins in one season. After the team missed the playoffs in a row, and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in a row, it is really sad just to mention it.

However, after being stimulated by Xie Chen, DeRozan became even braver and vented his anger with a windmill dunk.

"DeRozan is such a great dunker! In today's league, he can be compared with Xie in terms of dunks. He also often performs all kinds of incredible dunks in official games. He often showed off his moves in the Olympics. .”

"Yes, I still remember his 360-degree turning dunk against a Chinese player. Oh my God, it's a pity that the ball was not scored. If the dunk was successful, then DeRozan would also have a classic that can match Xie's. Dunk."

Xie Chen and DeRozan have always been strong opponents in dunking. Last season, DeRozan dunked on Gobert from behind, which was called inhumane. Gobert was dunked from the basket by DeRozan and sent out of bounds. The place where the ball was, it was convenient to serve. Everyone thought that this ball should be the best dunk of the season. Xie Chen used a dunk that copied Carter's leap Bargnani to occupy the position that originally belonged to DeRozan.

"I remember DeRozan had a 360-degree turn-around dunk in the Olympics, and he was facing the Chinese team, but the dunk didn't go in. It seems that LeBron James even said on Twitter that if the ball was dunked, , will be one of the top five dunks in history." Xie Chen suddenly remembered this incident. He was also amazed by DeRozan's dunk. It was indeed a great dunk idea. Xie Chen often turned 360 degrees before. I dunked, but I never tried a 360-degree turn and dunk.

"Since DeRozan didn't dunk successfully, then the dunk doesn't belong to him. If I had completed it earlier than him..." Although DeRozan came up with this idea, he didn't complete it successfully. Chen really wanted to take credit for this dunk.

Xie Chen already has two dunks that can be ranked among the top in history. One is a leap over Bargnani, and the other is a double dunk with Ingram from the free throw line. Even LeBron James said that this shot was successful and can be ranked next to him. Among the top five individuals, Xie Chen’s successful dunk will surely shock many people!

"Since the Raptors are so hostile to me, don't blame me for letting you be the background. I just don't know who will be the unlucky guy when the time comes?" Xie Chen has already decided to use DeRozan as soon as the opportunity arises. An unfinished 360-degree dunk.

However, a man-over dunk is different from a normal dunk. The man-over man dunk means that the difficulty of the dunk increases. Although for Xie Chen, man-over-man dunks are commonplace, but most man-over-man dunks involve facing the defender directly and head-on. It's too difficult and insecure to dunk while turning in the air. When you turn your back to the basket, you don't know what your defender is doing, and you are also facing the height of the bounce and physical confrontation. Has the highest level of requirements.

Zach LaVine has no problem with his jumping height, and he can still dunk even if he turns 360 degrees against someone. However, once the opponent pulls him, he is likely to repeat DeRozan's tragedy and dunk the ball away. Vince Carter's ability is the best choice. .

Secondly, the opponent for the dunk must also be selected, because this is DeRozan's first dunk. Xie Chen does not want him to be the background, and opponents who are too tall will not be able to do it. The success rate of dunk will be greatly reduced. It is best to be shorter. of.

Kyle Lowry became Xie Chen’s target.

Lowry is physically strong and has successfully defeated Xie Chen many times with his body. The two are old rivals in the East. Lowry thought that he knew Xie Chen very well, so he suddenly defeated Xie Chen again, but Xie Chen This time, Artest used his defensive ability. Lowry was immediately surprised by the tough confrontation. Then he heard a snap. At the moment when the strong attack failed, Xie Chen took the ball from Lowry's hand. It was cut.

"How could this happen!" Lori suddenly felt that Xie Chen's body was as hard as a rock, and he couldn't squeeze it no matter how hard he squeezed. They had played four games in the playoffs before, and Lori had never felt this way. How did he know that Xie Chen Has his defensive ability been upgraded again?

The two happened to be at the outermost three-point line. Coach Casey had already explained that even if Xie Chen intercepted him at this position, even if no Raptors player could catch up with Xie Chen and prevent him from scoring, but You still have to run, and at least you can't let Xie Chen perform any free-throw line dunks or the like.

Lowry took the coach's words to heart. Although he knew very well that he alone could not stop Xie Chen from scoring on the fast break, he still tried his best to sprint to catch up.

"Just what I wanted!" Xie Chen was also very happy to see that Lowry did not give up chasing. If there was no one, he would dunk from the free throw line. If there was someone, he would do what DeRozan didn't even do!

I believe that at this time, not to mention Lowry, even DeRozan would not have thought of what kind of performance Xie Chen was about to perform!

Since he wanted to dunk, his opponent had to stand in front of Xie Chen, so Xie Chen deliberately slowed down to let Lori catch up. Xie Chen was traveling on the left, while Lori was on the right side of Xie Chen, and Lowry reached the basket one step ahead.

"It's possible to prevent this ball!" Coach Casey secretly sighed that he was really wise and asked the players not to let Xie Chen break fast. Now Lowry actually walked ahead of Xie Chen.

But the next scene made Coach Casey afraid to look directly.

Faced with Lori in front of him, Xie Chen did not hesitate at all and resolutely chose to take off!

Lowry was a little panicked. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't take off, because if he jumped to block the shot, it would definitely be a foul. This time, he didn't think about fouling Xie Chen and let Xie Chen make a free throw. He just followed the coach's instructions and came to interfere with Xie Chen. In the morning, just don't let Xie Chen do the shocking dunk that can cause commotion on the scene.

After Xie Chen took off, his body immediately began to rotate!

"What is he going to do!" Coach Casey was stunned, and the fans at the scene were also shocked. This meant... this meant he wanted to turn around and dunk! However, Lowry is right under the basket!

"What?" Lowry was also stunned. He didn't expect Xie Chen to dunk so decisively, and he was still spinning in the air!

"Oops, Xie wants to do a 360-degree swivel dunk!" DeRozan saw this familiar scene and immediately realized Xie Chen's next move. Unfortunately, he was too far away from the two of them and there was no way to stop him. Xie Chen.

Xie Chen quickly turned 360 degrees in the air. Lowry stretched out his hand to block it, but Xie Chen ignored it and dunked the ball into the basket through Lowry!

"A 360-degree spin in the air for a dunk! He did it! DeRozan didn't even succeed in dunking, but Xie did it!"

"Oh my God, there was already a double dunk from the free throw line in the last game, and this game actually has another dunk that can be included in history! Xie is really writing history in every game, he will be a true legendary player !I’m so lucky to be born in Chrissie’s era!”

"Great! Xie is the greatest player in the NBA! At this moment, I have forgotten Magic and who Michael Jordan is!"

The scene instantly went crazy. Coach Casey had long expected that the Lakers' counterattack would start with a shocking dunk by Xie Chen. He had already ordered his players to stop Xie Chen. Kyle Lowry also did what the coach said, but still Nothing could stop Xie Chen.

Coach Casey immediately called a timeout to interrupt their emotions first.

"Thank you, it's so beautiful! You completed another great dunk!" Luol Deng stepped forward to celebrate.

At this time, DeRozan was not in a hurry to return to the players' bench, but looked at Xie Chen: "This is my dunk."

Xie Chen said: "I know, but it's a pity that you didn't dunk it. If one day you succeed, I will let everyone forget my dunk and only remember yours."

DeRozan didn't know what to say and walked to the Raptors dugout gloomily.

Coach Casey felt very guilty about Lowry who was doing the background work just now. It was Casey who asked him to rush over to stop him. Unexpectedly...

Casey patted Lori on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, but it's a pity..."

"He still did it," Lowry said following Casey's words.

"Yes, he still did it. No matter how we defended, he had a way to succeed. Now they are about to gain momentum. We must try our best to contain them while strengthening our offense to keep the point difference." Coach Casey ordered.

Coach Casey's prediction was correct. A short timeout could not interrupt the Lakers' high mood. After this dunk, everyone was activated. The Lakers played better and better, gradually catching up with the score.

As for Casey's requirement to always maintain his team's offensive scoring, the Raptors players were not able to do it. If they were really such an excellent team, they would not be able to achieve nothing in the playoffs year after year. The season was eliminated by the Knicks 4-0.

At the end of the half, the Lakers had chased the point difference to 3 points. This point difference left the Raptors with no sense of advantage. In the second half, Xie Chen could continue to provide offensive firepower steadily, while DeRozan and Whether Lowry's offense can still be as good as in the first half is unknown. The balance of victory is tilting towards the Lakers. They are about to usher in the team's tenth consecutive victory!
