Super All-around Point Guard

"What?" Garnett, who was leaning back in the air, was horrified. Originally, he was very confident in his buzzer-beating shot. Even though he expected to be double-teamed by his opponent, he still insisted on taking the shot himself because Garnett was very tall. The shooting point was high, and he was at his peak now, so he had no problem bouncing. He didn't believe that he would be blocked, but he never expected that there would be three people guarding him!

Xie Chen gave up on his defender and rushed directly to Garnett. He also expected that Garnett would turn around and fall back, so he was in a very good position. As soon as Garnett took action, he was slapped away. .

At the end of the game, Xie Chen prevented the most classic buzzer beater of Garnett's career, just like Xie Chen prevented Miller's moment from happening and McGrady's moment last season. This feeling is unique.

After playing the Legend Challenge, Xie Chen and his teammates also easily defeated the Timberwolves. After losing a game, they immediately won another victory.

Those who hate the Lakers are starting to sigh again. Can't the Lakers lose once in a row? They don't want to see the Lakers occupy the first place in the Western Conference again.

The Lakers' next game was a back-to-back away game against the Pacers and they continued to win. Although Mozgov was injured and missed these games, this is Xie Chen's team. As long as Xie Chen is fine, the Lakers' strength can be guaranteed.

After three consecutive away games with two wins and one loss, the Lakers returned to their home court again. This time they encountered the Thunder, who had undergone major changes during the offseason!

The Thunder can be said to be the most sympathetic team this season, because the team boss, who was once the second player in the league behind LeBron James, four-time league scoring champion, and one-time regular season MVP winner, Kevin Duran Te chose to leave the team he had played for many years.

Durant's departure is a huge blow to the Thunder team. Everyone knows what level of star Kevin Durant is in today's league. There is no team that doesn't want him, and the Thunder naturally do the same. They will do everything they can to keep Durant, but when a player already has the idea of ​​leaving, no matter how good the conditions are, he will not be able to keep his heart.

Durant was under tremendous pressure and chose to leave the Thunder and join the Warriors because he knew that in Xie Chen's era, the combination of him and Westbrook could never defeat Xie Chen. He could only have a chance by joining forces with the powerful Warriors. Win the championship.

After the Thunder learned that Durant chose to join the Warriors, they were very sad. Westbrook was also very angry that Durant abandoned him and left, because Westbrook was selected by Durant himself in the draft. Their personalities It’s different. Sometimes on the court you will find that the angry Westbrook and the somewhat introverted Durant are difficult to get along with, but the relationship between the two is not bad, it just doesn’t have the brotherhood between James and Wade, Paul, and Anthony. .

After Durant leaves, Westbrook will become a free agent next summer. For the Thunder at the time, they didn't know what Westbrook was thinking, and they didn't know whether Westbrook would also do the same after Durant left. Leaving, they can no longer afford to lose superstars for two consecutive years. The Thunder have already made the next step, putting Westbrook on the shelf and trying to exchange for young players and future draft picks.

At that time, other teams also began to fantasize about Westbrook leaving the Thunder. Fans also began to imagine that Westbrook might go to the Lakers or Knicks, but Westbrook chose to stay.

The Thunder completed a three-year re-signing with Westbrook worth $85.7 million.

Many people predict that this season Westbrook will have a big breakout year, just like Kobe Bryant who left O'Neal that year, his statistics will skyrocket, he will even average a triple-double per game, and he may also win the MVP.

This season, Westbrook did not disappoint everyone. He took charge of the team by himself. His scoring average hit a new high, and his number of assists and rebounds did not decrease. The team is currently ranked among the top in the Western Conference, but the MVP Behind Xie Chen, there is also a superstar leading the team. Westbrook is indeed very strong, but both personal data and team record are not as good as Xie Chen's Lakers.

From Westbrook's perspective, we can see how good Xie Chen is. Westbrook already feels inhuman, but Xie Chen is better than Westbrook in all aspects.

Xie Chen and Westbrook have also established a friendship long ago, so this time Westbrook visited Staples in Los Angeles, the two friends were particularly happy to meet. However, although Durant left the Thunder, among Westbrook's teammates There is still one enemy of Xie Chen, and that is Oladipo.

In addition to Durant, the Thunder also completed a big deal with the Magic. The Thunder sent Ibaka to get Oladipo, Ilyasova and the No. 11 pick from the Magic. The Thunder sent Ibaka. It is indeed surprising. Ibaka's mid-range shooting and shot blocking in the playoffs were of great help to the Thunder. This deal is generally believed to be the Thunder's profit, because Oladipo was the second overall pick in 2013. Show, with outstanding personal abilities, he averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season. Oladipo's arrival will cure the Thunder's stubborn problem at the second position. They finally have a star at this position. A level player, Ilyasova also has good mid-range shooting and rebounding abilities, and the No. 11 pick also has great potential.

Before the game, Westbrook took the initiative to walk up to Xie Chen and said with a smile: "Every season I play against you, you are on a different team, and this season we are in the West. Haha, this is so interesting, and I found that my There is always one enemy among your teammates. Victor has told me about your grievances, and he also realized his stupidity."

When Westbrook said this, Oladipo stepped forward and took the initiative to express his goodwill to Xie Chen: "Hey, long time no see. I don't want to fight with you again this time. It's really not fun."

Xie Chen also smiled and shook hands with Oladipo. After all, Oladipo was also considered a star player. To show his favor to Xie Chen like this, it was impossible for Xie Chen not to give him face. However, if Xie Chen hadn't used Karl Malone's If the power can subdue Oladipo, I guess this kid will not take the initiative to say this even if he knows that Westbrook and Xie Chen have a good relationship.

Oladipo said a few words and left. He was beaten so badly by Xie Chen on the court, and Oladipo didn't want to talk to Xie Chen too much.

Xie Chen couldn't help but mock Westbrook: "Say, man, I watched your previous video. Your expression and voice when singing were really ugly, and the song you sang was actually a Taylor Swift song!"

The video Xie Chen mentioned was actually recorded by Westbrook to mock Durant. The song was called "We Will Never Get Back Together Again", which hinted at the relationship between Westbrook and Durant. We can never go back to the past, and when Westbrook was caught by a netizen and asked about Durant, Westbrook kept laughing. Xie Chen felt that Westbrook did not need to pay special attention to Durant.

Westbrook said: "I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift! You know why I recorded that video."

Xie Chen nodded: "Yes, I know, but unlike others, I was not optimistic that you two could be together for a long time from the beginning. Many people may think that because you have been working together for eight years, you have not achieved anything. championship, that's why we broke up, but my personal feeling is that even if you really win a championship, one of you will still leave. I know you respect KD very much, but you know, your light is too strong, he and We are different, he is very sensitive to this kind of light."

Many people think that Westbrook is very similar to Kobe. Even Kobe said this. Moreover, Westbrook and Kobe have a similarity in that in the early stages of their careers, they both played the role of second-in-command in the team. The top players all have that kind of bug. A star of the same level, but the difference between Westbrook and Kobe is that Westbrook will not really compete for the boss's position, but he will not really act like a second-stringer on the court.

Xie Chen continued: "You are also very good now. The Thunder is your team. Like me, you are close to averaging a triple-double per game. If we all do it, it will be another surprising record in the NBA, and you are in You might have Blake Griffin next year, right? Then you're back to being a championship contender."

Westbrook was obviously surprised when he heard that Xie Chenti Griffin came to the Thunder: "You actually know what we are thinking? Although Blake was born in Oklahoma City, if the Clippers succeed in the playoffs this season If there is a breakthrough, our dream will be in vain.”

Xie Chen smiled: "You mean the Clippers will win the championship this season? Don't worry, you will get Blake Griffin as you wish, because with our Lakers here, the Clippers can't even hope to advance to the finals."

Westbrook said: "You are too arrogant, man. It seems that I have to compete with you on the court!"

Xie Chen also became excited: "I can't wait to fight you. Currently, you are the only one in the world who can fight with me from beginning to end!"

If you want to talk about the top two point guards in the league today, they are naturally Xie Chen and Stephen Curry. But if you only talk about personal strength, they are definitely Xie Chen and Westbrook. Westbrook's personal ability is stronger than Curry. His speed is faster and fiercer, his dunks are more brutal, and his physical fitness is even more amazing, especially his abundant physical fitness. You never seem to see Westbrook exhausted. He is like a perpetual motion machine. It is always running, which is the same as Xie Chen. The difference is that Xie Chen relies on the system ability so it does not consume much physical energy, while Westbrook relies on the energy in his chest, his tenacity, and the world rare!

Xie Chen and Westbrook have not played against each other many times in the past two seasons, and they have never played against Westbrook alone for the whole game, so Xie Chen is also very excited now.

As soon as Westbrook came up, he dominated Xie Chen and went straight to the basket. After Durant left, he always wanted to prove that he could lead the Thunder team without Durant. So this season, Westbrook is better than Any season in the past must be the best!

boom!

Facing Yi Jianlian under the basket, Westbrook still dunked hard and gave a powerful dunk right from the start!

You know, even if Xie Chen has Westbrook's defensive ability, Westbrook can't guard himself. But similarly, when Xie Chen uses Westbrook's breakthrough ability, Westbrook will be helpless.

Since Westbrook is so excited, how could Xie Chen not accompany him?

It was Xie Chen's turn to attack, and Xie Chen also attacked Westbrook. Thunder insider Steven Adams is a very good inside defender, and he seemed to predict in advance that Xie Chen would respond to Westbrook's dunk just now with a dunk. So step forward to block the shot.

If it were in the past, Xie Chen might have cautiously replaced LeBron James's layup ability, because Adams is still quite dirty, but in the past one or two seasons, when Adams' hair became more disheveled, when he grew longer With his masculine beard, he no longer had the bad moves he had in the past, and sometimes when competing with his opponents, he was the one who suffered.

The game between the Warriors and the Thunder was also the focus of fans' attention, because everyone wanted to see Westbrook kill the Warriors with Durant. In that game, Adams was bullied by Green's various tricks, and he also He didn't lose his temper or settle a score with Green.

Therefore, when Xie Chen thought that Adams would not do bad things to him, he continued to forcefully activate Vince Carter's dunk ability. Facing Adams' block, he changed hands in the air, switching from his right hand to his left, and then blocked Xie Chen with Adams' big arm. Without sight, he dunked the ball in!

"So handsome!" The crowd immediately cheered.

Westbrook chuckled: "As expected, he's still the same Chrissy. He still has to dunk in response to me changing hands in the air."

Xie Chen felt very excited when he met his opponent. Why didn't Westbrook feel the same way? Before Xie Chen appeared, with Westbrook's arrogant attitude, he really didn't look down on anyone in his heart.

Westbrook continued to make pull-up jump shots. Xie Chen also copied Westbrook's ability and also used Westbrook's pull-up jump shot ability to respond.

Speaking of which, Xie Chen has three abilities of Westbrook, and he is the star that Xie Chen has copied the most. Xie Chen can win two championships in a row and break so many honors, and Westbrook's abilities are indispensable.

In the second quarter, both Xie Chen and Westbrook began to prefer assists. Westbrook assisted Adams for a dunk and Oladipo for a three-pointer. Xie Chen also assisted Yi Jianlian for an alley-oop dunk and Ingram for a long shot.

In the third quarter, it became a battle of rebounds. Westbrook, a point guard, averaged 7.8 rebounds per game last season, which is really terrible. Xie Chen certainly has a lot of rebounds, but Xie Chen has the rebounding ability of Charles Barkley. In this quarter, both of them turned into rebounding madmen and became the players with the most rebounds on the team.

The statistics of the two are comparable. Whether it is points, assists or rebounds, they are all comprehensively praised. Watching the game between the two all-around warriors also made the audience excited. The all-around showdown between the two superstars Xie Chen and Westbrook, That lasted until the fourth quarter.

Until the fourth quarter, Westbrook was able to dunk the whole game! After dunking, Westbrook stood there and roared excitedly!

Luke Walton couldn't help but comment: "Russell Westbrook is the only player in the world who can go from fighting with Shea to the fourth quarter without feeling tired!"
