Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 717 Christmas War!

The No. 1 pick, Simmons, was still dominated by Xie Chen. This time it was different from the past. Xie Chen used a role player to abuse his opponents. Throughout the game, everyone has become accustomed to Xie Chen being a supporting role, and Simmons and Ingram being the protagonists. With his identity, he suddenly saw Xie Chen dunking on Simmons, who had no sense of presence in the whole game. The impact was even stronger, as if an unknown person suddenly bullied the opponent's ace player.

Simmons was speechless. Xie Chen did keep his word and did not take over the game. He just rushed over to grab rebounds. It was only because Xie Chen was too strong that he could do such brutal actions in the name of grabbing rebounds. In fact, Xie Chen The recent grab for rebounds has changed the trend of the score. Basketball games are not just about scoring. Rebounds are also a key to the outcome of the game. Just because Xie Chen is a blue-collar player, his role cannot be underestimated.

The 76ers have several players with potential and talent. In the final stage, they also performed very strongly. They all hope to win this game, because when Xie Chen is not the protagonist, the Lakers should be a team A bad team. Last season, the 76ers were last in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers were last in the Western Conference. The two teams should be equally strong.

And then, Xie Chen also completely let them see how important a supporting role can be.

Ingram broke through with the ball. When he came to the basket, the ball was cut off by a 76ers player. Ingram made another mistake. Since Ingram took on a heavier responsibility today than in any previous game, His turnovers also hit a new high.

The 76ers' steal made Lakers fans panic. It would be terrible if they were already behind and were counterattacked by their opponents. However, unexpectedly, when the 76ers had just finished stealing the ball and were about to take the first step, Xie Chen Appeared suddenly and successfully intercepted the ball as fast as lightning!

The 76ers players were all stunned. They were about to take a step to prepare for a fast break counterattack, but unexpectedly the ball returned to the Lakers' hands!

After Xie Chen stole the ball, he walked forward and casually passed the ball in the direction of Ingram, who scored easily under the basket.

After that, the 76ers made a key attack and made a pass error. The ball was passed to Xie Chen immediately. In the past, this time was the most panicked time for opponents, because Xie Chen's fast break was equivalent to invincibility. Without No one can keep up with him, and no one can stop him from scoring.

Everyone knows that if Xie Chen plays this ball, he will definitely score. Now the Lakers are only two points away. If he scores this goal, he will tie the score. However, Xie Chen still continues to be his supporting role and passes the ball to Engla. Mu.

"He didn't hit this ball by himself, that's great!" Simmons, Okafor and others of the 76ers were also very happy. If it was Xie Chen who attacked, they really didn't know how to defend it, but if it was Engla Well, they are absolutely confident that they can stop him!

In addition to the advantage of height and arm length, Ingram's speed, explosive power, jumping, and physical confrontation...are all inferior to Xie Chen. Ingram rushed forward quickly. After getting rid of the defense of a 76ers player, Ingram chose A layup was made, but Okafor, who followed up behind, firmly put the layup on the backboard!

"I didn't expect there was someone behind me, right? Haha!" Okafor was very proud of stopping Ingram's equalizer. But what Okafor didn't expect was that there was someone behind him.

Okafor had just blocked Ingram's layup, but before he could control the ball, Xie Chen, who had already prepared the rebound, immediately flew forward and firmly held the rebound in his hands again.

"What?" Okafor was about to take the ball, but found that the ball had been snatched away by someone, and it was Xie Chen again!

After Xie Chen got the ball, he still did not attack by himself. He passed the ball to the left and back. Luol Deng had already reached the three-point line. After receiving Xie Chen's pass, Luol Deng took the shot directly without any hesitation, just like It was like Klay Thompson. With a three-pointer, the Lakers overtook the score!

"The Lakers actually overtook the lead! It's incredible. Xie Chen didn't play much tonight. How can he still win like this?"

"Ingram scored 37 points and Ben Simmons scored 29 points. The second overall pick is better than the first overall pick in terms of statistics, and the team can still win, but all this is due to Xie Chen, even if he can't do it on the court, To score points, just by grabbing rebounds, playing steals, and casually passing the ball, I can already beat my opponents.”

Although Ingram is the highest-scoring player for the Lakers tonight, anyone who knows football can see that Xie Chen plays the most critical role in the Lakers' win. Xie Chen affects the score as a role player. Helped the Lakers reverse the 76ers!

Luke Walton also expressed great appreciation at this moment: "When he told me that Brandon Ingram would be the leader in this game, I was worried that this victory would not be achieved. I didn't expect that Xie would only use defense and a fixed-point shooter. His identity can actually help the team win. Before, everyone paid too much attention to his scoring ability. His defense and rebounding were underestimated. Xie is really terrible. I think even without those incredible scoring abilities, he He will also be an All-Star player."

In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Xie Chen scored a triple-double. Ingram, who scored the highest score in the game, stayed on the court to be interviewed by reporters. The reporter asked him: "You got the highest score in the game. Even you were dominating the game throughout the game, and now you lead the team to win this victory, how do you feel now?"

Ingram was very humble: "I think the biggest contributor to our win tonight is not me, but Xie. He is behind me all the time to help me. He helps me with pick-and-rolls, rebounds and passes to me. If he hadn't been doing these things, I wouldn't have been able to lead the team to win. Xie's data may not be the best. He may not score as much as he usually does, but he is still the person who determines the direction of this game. , There is no way, this is him, this is what is so great about the number one player in the league, he shows us how powerful a role player can be."

The reporter also laughed when he saw Ingram always praising Xie Chen: "Then why are you leading this game? Is it because his injury is not healed yet?"

Ingram was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Well, actually it's because he wanted to make the fight between me and Ben Simmons possible. I'm very grateful to him. I had a great time playing with Ben tonight, and I'm looking forward to it." Meet him again."

At this time, December has come to an end, and the most anticipated Christmas for Westerners has arrived. Xie Chen still remembers that on Christmas Eve last year, Xie Chen held his newlywed wife Katie in his arms. The two were still talking about this time of year. , there are three people in the family, and I can’t help but sigh that time flies by so fast. At that time, I still felt that this year’s Christmas was a very far away and long thing, but in the blink of an eye, it has already arrived in front of you.

Xie Chen also received blessings from many friends on Christmas Day. The first person to send him blessings was Michelle, a mother and daughter she had just met recently. Michelle knew that the Lakers also had games on Christmas, and they were playing in the Eastern Conference. The strong Cavaliers also wished Xie Chen victory in the game. Xie Chen was also very happy watching the video of blessings sent by this beautiful mother and daughter.

Every year on the first day after Christmas, the NBA arranges several heavyweight games. These games are called Christmas games. This year’s game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers at the Lakers’ home court also attracted much attention. LeBron James and Xie Chen, today’s league The most dominant star, he is also the star with the closest personal honor and historical status among active stars. NBA Christmas games always focus on grudges. James was defeated by Xie Chen for two consecutive years. It can be said that Xie Chen is already James' number one enemy.

This is also the first time James has faced Xie Chen, who is a Laker. Every time he faces Xie Chen for the first time in a new season, James' mood will be very complicated. Last season, when he faced Xie Chen from the New York Knicks, James certainly remembers it. Things were reversed 3:0, but thinking that Xie Chen went to a bad team like the Knicks, he should not be a threat to him. The same is true now. If James faces Xie Chen of the Knicks tonight, then James will take revenge. His mentality must be very heavy, because it was Xie Chen who defeated him with that group of people, but when James came to the Staples Center, he could not arouse such hatred for Xie Chen. There was only Xie Chen in the Lakers. He defeated his opponents in the season, and his former teammates Mozgov and Jefferson are still on the Lakers. He even feels that this Lakers team is very friendly.

At the scene, the audience, immersed in the joy of Christmas, had already taken their seats, and everyone was enjoying the battle with a relaxed mood. In the eyes of many people, Xie Chen and James can no longer be regarded as mortal enemies, and they should unite. One team is suitable for dealing with the Golden State Warriors.

Thanks to Durant's departure to the Warriors, the relationship between Xie Chen and James has become slightly more relaxed, because James is afraid that Xie Chen will win another championship, but with the Warriors suppressing Xie Chen in the Western Conference, James no longer looks down on Xie Chen. As a threat, the Lakers' record is indeed very good, but James has watched many Lakers games and believes that once the Lakers face the Warriors, they will definitely lose.

Before the game, everyone was very happy because of Christmas. James went directly to the Lakers' bench and greeted his old teammates Mozgov and Jefferson one by one.

James said to Mozgov: "Man, you have been one of the most important teammates around me in the past few years. It is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to fight with you. Seeing the results you have achieved here, I am very happy for you. .”

Since Tyronn Lue took over as head coach of the Cavaliers, Mozgov's role has been severely reduced. Coupled with the fact that the Cavaliers have no salary space to renew his contract, it is logical for Mozgov to come to the Lakers.

James had no complaints about Mozgov coming to the Lakers, but he was very concerned about Jefferson coming to the Lakers. He pretended to be unhappy and said: "I said, man, when you said you were going to retire, come to the Lakers as an assistant coach for me." I just let you come here, but who knew you would come over and become a player again. At the end of last season, I obviously asked you to keep you and let you play for another year, right? Have I ever done that? "

Jefferson looked very ashamed and said with a smile: "Yes, you asked me to stay, and I really wanted to be an assistant coach, but Luke Walton insisted that I play for another year before he agreed to let me do it. There’s nothing I can do about the assistant coaches here.”

Immediately, James joked at Xie Chen: "Xie, you have two such outstanding players from our Cavaliers in the past. No wonder your Lakers can reach the second position in the Western Conference."

Xie Chen also smiled and said: "Why don't you give us another player, so that we can secure the first place in the Western Conference."

James smiled and said: "You can't be so greedy and poach my people. What should I do? By the way, Xie, I know you were injured when you were playing in Chicago a few days ago. How are you now? Why did you suddenly get injured? What’s up?”

Ever since it was verified that Xie Chen was indeed weird when he was playing bulls, James wanted to know the truth all the time. However, Xie Chen's secret was not easy to find out. He could only figure it out by himself through Xie Chen's words.

Xie Chen said with a relaxed look: "That guy Rajon Rondo is very difficult to deal with. You have fought against him many times. You know, don't worry, I have fully recovered now, so just come over!"

"Okay, I'll see you on the court later!" James didn't keep asking about Chicago, for fear of arousing Xie Chen's suspicion.

The Cavaliers also had some changes in the offseason. In addition to Mozgov and Jefferson leaving the Cavaliers, Dellavedova, who was very popular among Cavaliers fans, also left the Cavaliers. Dellavedova's departure is not The team doesn't want to keep him, but really can't keep him. On the one hand, it really has no money, and on the other hand, Dellavedova has no time or status in the Cavaliers, so it would be better to go to the Bucks.

Dellavedova's departure will still have some impact on the Cavaliers' backup point guard. Mo Williams' offense is okay, but he has serious defensive problems, and he is old and injured.

Kefeld is a point guard selected by the Cavaliers in this year's draft. He has amazing jumping and is also a very offensive point guard. However, he is too short, only 1.75 meters tall. This will be rejected. Chen ruthlessly used Curry's three-point ability to kill.

Xie Chen's teammate with the Heat, Birdman Anderson, has now come to the Cavaliers. Xie Chen also walked over to greet him and asked about his status in the Cavaliers.

Birdman Anderson was talking non-stop. It seemed that he was doing well in the Cavaliers. However, at this time, Xie Chen accidentally discovered that Tristan Thompson of the Cavaliers was always looking towards the audience intentionally or unintentionally. Lakers After all, the home court is a place where superstars gather, and tonight is the Christmas game. There must be a lot of big names here, and it is not surprising that Thompson knows them. However, Xie Chen found that Thompson looked at the players' bench with a very shy expression. Looking at it with an expression on his face, this made Xie Chen feel very strange. Tristan Thompson, an offensive rebounding maniac, would make Xie Chen very troubled every time he played a series with the Cavaliers, and this guy always looked very tough. Why did it suddenly become like this?

Xie Chen looked towards the auditorium and saw a woman blowing a kiss to Thompson, and then he suddenly realized.

Khloe Kardashian is here!
