Super All-around Point Guard

None of the NBA stars believed that the Lakers could break last year's regular season record of the Warriors. Last year, the Warriors' lineup, from the main players to the substitutes, was very luxurious, reasonable and harmonious. They had the right time, place and people, so they could achieve that result. This year's Lakers' lineup In terms of performance, it is very different from last year's Warriors or the 1996 Bulls.

Furthermore, Phil Jackson also said that there is no way to win the NBA championship in November. The Lakers should focus their efforts and energy on the playoffs instead of pursuing records and causing injuries or other problems to core players. Bad situation.

However, O'Neal is very optimistic about the Lakers' performance in the playoffs, because he predicts that Xie Chen still has hidden abilities, and this ability is absolutely extraordinary. Once used, the Lakers may have the strength to fight against super strong teams like the Warriors and Spurs!

Before this, O'Neal and several others often talked about this issue. They all suspected that Xie Chen still had a trick that he had not yet used. After this All-Star Game, O'Neal became more convinced of this idea. After seeing Xie Chen leave early in a sports car after dunking, At that time, O'Neill knew that Xie Chen was exactly the same person as him, he liked to show off and had absolute strength.

O'Neal said: "I feel like I'm getting to know Xie more and more. I'm beginning to have a very clear understanding of what kind of person he is. Since he dares to come to the Lakers from the Knicks and challenge strong teams like the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs in the West, he There must be something to rely on. In last year's dunk contest, we all felt that we had seen all of Xie's dunking abilities, but this year, he did a 720-degree turn dunk! So, he must have some tricks that he hasn't used yet. , he will use it in the playoffs when the team is in trouble, and I can guarantee that what I predicted will definitely happen."

…

After the All-Star Game, the playoffs are getting closer and closer. For teams that want to win the championship, they will start to consider their playoff opponents at this time. All teams in the Western Conference that are qualified to enter the playoffs are avoiding Golden State. The two teams, the Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, are unwilling to meet them first even if they meet the Lakers. They don't take the Lakers, the number one team in the Western Conference, seriously at all.

However, the Warriors and Spurs are very concerned about the Lakers. If they want to get a better ranking, it is best to steal the Lakers' first place in the Western Conference. They just don't know if Xie Chen will give it to them next?

At the current stage, those teams ranked near the eighth position have to start playing hard, while the teams ranked first and second have to pay more attention to the physical condition of the players and start to stop playing, and even gradually the main players will take turns to rest. Focus on preparing for the playoffs.

Xie Chen is a person who has a crazy obsession with records. Of course he wants to break the record of the Warriors last year and finally win the championship, but he also knows how hard it will be to achieve this.

Fortunately, the Nets, their first opponent after the All-Star Game, will not pose much of a challenge to the Lakers. The Nets have no hope of the playoffs this season and are not very competitive. It just so happens that Xie Chen also needs a rest, so he is the first to return from vacation. It's more appropriate to play the Nets on the court.

Xie Chen remembers that when he was with the New York Knicks last year, the first game after the All-Star Game was also against the Nets. In that game, Xie Chen showed off his hidden abilities that he had been holding back for a long time. Carter's dunk ability was a direct leap forward. Afterwards, Bargnani’s model girlfriend was so angry that she pretended to be a hotel attendant and came to settle the score with Xie Chen.

After being leapt over the head by Xie Chen, Bargnani is no longer with the Nets, or even playing in the NBA. Instead, he went to Spain to play. Rumor has it that he and his beautiful young model girlfriend also broke up.

Knowing this news, Xie Chen felt sad... I wonder if Bargnani was forced to go to Spain and broke up with his girlfriend. It had something to do with him leaping over him.

Xie Chen also decided not to insult any player in the future, especially players with low mental endurance, such as Green, Noah, and Jason Terry. If there is an opportunity, they should not let it go.

After defeating the Nets at home, the Lakers' next opponent is the Celtics. The Celtics are not a team like the Nets that cannot make the playoffs. In addition, the Celtics must strive to have a place in the Eastern Conference. Good ranking, so this game must be the first high-intensity game the Lakers have encountered after the All-Star Game. Fortunately, it is also at home, so Xie Chen does not have to think too much about physical issues.

After the game started, Thomas was very excited, aggressive, and tough. He could score by himself and distribute the ball to his teammates. The Lakers played very passively, and the Celtics kept leading the score.

The home audience felt that this game might not be won. Even the Lakers players thought so. The Celtics' desire to win was too strong, and the Lakers had only lost four games this season. The game is a team that can lose. Psychologically, they are not willing to fight like the Celtics.

Xie Chen's scoring is still very efficient, but Thomas can always respond to Xie Chen. Thomas is not tall, so it is difficult for Xie Chen to defend, especially when Thomas breaks through, he must pay great attention to control his strength when defending. , otherwise it would be easy to be called for a defensive foul. If Karl Malone's power was accidentally used, Thomas would definitely fly out directly.

In addition, Avery Bradley of the Celtics was very accurate in three-pointers today. He hit 8 three-pointers in the three quarters. He only took 10 shots and responded completely on the three-point line alone. Xie Chen, Xie Chen only made 8 three-pointers in this game, and he took 12 shots.

Xie Chen currently averages 6 three-pointers per game. Curry averaged 5 three-pointers per game last season. He hit 402 three-pointers throughout the season, breaking the record. If Xie Chen can keep it up this season, he will beat Curry. There is almost no suspense about the 402 goals.

Seeing Bradley's heroic performance, the Lakers' home audience was both helpless and somewhat impressed.

"Why are everyone wearing No. 0 jerseys so **** now? Needless to say, Chrissie, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Andre Drummond, and this one in front of me Bradley, when did No. 0 become the representative number of the strongest player?"

"You really don't think it if you don't say it, man, it's really like this. In addition to them, Kevin Love is also No. 0, and Jeff Teague also had this number when he was with the Hawks. Before that, No. 3 seemed to be the most popular. D-WADE, CP3 and even T-AMC have also used the number 3. In certain periods, using a certain number can really represent something. With the influence of Xie and Russell, more young people will definitely choose it in the future. The number 0.”

No. 0 can be said to be the most popular number in the league now. It even gives people a feeling that as long as they see No. 0, they will feel that the opponent is very strong. Especially after Xie Chen's success, the rookies in the past two years are particularly keen on picking it. No. 0, they want to be as successful as Xie Chen.

Bradley played so well today and feels that he is more worthy of this number.

In the end, the Lakers lost to the Celtics at home and were defeated by the Celtics' crazy offense and defense in the fourth quarter. The two teams were not in the same state at all. The Celtics were just playing in the playoffs, and The Lakers don't care much about winning or losing.

After this battle, the Lakers also lost 5 games.

Three days later, the Lakers visited Salt Lake City. They had already lost one game and did not want to lose in a row. They did not dare to dream about breaking the 73-win record, but they still wanted to keep the No. 1 ranking in the Western Conference. After all, this In the playoffs, it means home field advantage.

It's not easy to play against the Jazz, because they are also a team competing for a playoff spot. In the past, Xie Chen would threaten the coach every time he went to other people's away games. Now everyone has become very serious and no one is in the mood. Go ahead and make this kind of joke. The Jazz don't have to worry about Xie Chen breaking any records here as they are doing background work. After all, at this point in the regular season, no one is more nervous about Xie Chen's body than Luke Walton.

In order to win, Xie Chen still had to score 30 points. After scoring 30 points, Xie Chen started the plot of the Legend Challenge. He had not played a Legend game for a long time, and he was still very excited.

The legendary team they met this time was another strong team with Karl Malone and Stockton. When they met Karl Malone before, Xie Chen copied Karl Malone’s fighting ability. Xie Chen still remembers that in order to copy the success, Sacrificing his teammate Lopez, Lopez was fighting with Karl Malone in the Legend plot, and was knocked to the ground by Karl Malone with a punch. Although he successfully copied the skills, Xie Chen has always felt guilty towards his teammates, even in Legend. The injuries in the plot will not affect the real world, but the scene is so real, it happens in front of your eyes, and you can clearly see the blood in Lopez's mouth and his painful appearance.

At that time, Karl Malone was sent off the field after hitting Lopez. Xie Chen's integration after copying was only 30%. Even if Karl Malone was on the court, Xie Chen could not avenge his teammates.

We met again today. According to Xie Chen's habit of avenging his teammates, it stands to reason that he should have punched Malone. But if I think about it carefully, if it weren't for the power of Karl Malone, Xie Chen would not have been able to fight with the Magic that time. Winning in the game, as well as Malone's iron elbow, he relied on Malone's fighting ability to not suffer losses in countless battles with players who are used to playing small tricks.

"If I didn't have the power of Karl Malone, maybe I would still be the number one player in the league and still be able to win these championships, but I wouldn't get as much respect as I do now." Xie Chen knew deeply that after one person challenged the entire Magic team , the entire league knew about Xie Chen's terrifying fighting power. No one dared to challenge Xie Chen no matter on or off the field!

No matter what, Karl Malone's ability helped Xie Chen a lot. When he met Karl Malone in this period again, Xie Chen wanted to pay tribute.

James used to do a dunk action to pay tribute to Karl Malone, which was to touch the back of his head when dunking. Xie Chen also did this action when he met Karl Malone last time, but he was dunked by Malone.

Xie Chen suddenly remembered Aaron Gordon's first dunk in the slam dunk contest finals a few days ago. Gordon touched the back of his head after spinning.

This dunk was done very beautifully, and Xie Chen liked it very much. It happened to be 1997, and Xie Chen also wanted to show these old guys the perfect dunk action from the 2017 Slam Dunk Contest.

Unfortunately, Hot Wheels was not popular in this era, so Xie Chen had no choice but to pull over Jazz’s mascot, Jazz Bear, and let him spin the ball on the spot.

At this time, Xie Chen and the mascot also attracted the attention of the audience, and the Jazz team who were warming up also turned their attention.

Hornacek, who is currently the coach of the Knicks, took a look and then asked Karl Malone: ​​"What do you think this No. 0 is going to do?"

Karl Malone chuckled and said, "Maybe it's a dunk, but looking at him, he can't do anything good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mascot began to spin clockwise. Xie Chen found the opportunity and rushed forward quickly. After getting the ball with one hand, he turned counterclockwise, then touched the back of his head to imitate Karl Malone, and then made a one-arm shot. Dunk it hard and put the ball into the basket!

"Oh my God! This dunk is so beautiful!"

"This dunk is definitely a perfect score for entering the slam dunk contest!"

The audience at the scene was immediately stunned, let alone the audience in 1997. Even 20 years later, this action shocked everyone when it was first performed. One can imagine how amazing it was in 1997.

This dunk also stunned Karl Malone.

"This guy's jumping, strength, and creativity in dunking are all excellent, and he also imitated my signature moves. Although it is a tribute to me, once he made this dunk, I will not be able to do such dunks again in the future. "!" Karl Malone didn't appreciate Xie Chen's favor at all, because after Xie Chen performed this dunk, Malone himself was unwilling to touch the back of his head to dunk again, feeling that his dunk was not as good as Xie Chen's.

After the game started, Xie Chen thought Ma Long would be grateful for his tribute. Unexpectedly, in the third minute of the game, this guy gave Xie Chen a hidden elbow!

Xie Chen suddenly felt baffled. Ma Long looked completely dismissive when facing Xie Chen and said: "Boy, although your dunk is much better than that of Kobe who just won the dunk contest this year, don't think about showing off in the game. Come out and watch my elbow, understand?”

Xie Chen has long been disgusted by the arrogant threats made by the older generation of stars. Even the Bad Boy Legion beat them up and gave up their names. Why would they still be afraid of someone with the same ability as him?

Xie Chen was not polite and said: "I helped Kobe teach you a lesson before. Since your nature cannot be changed, then I will help Lopez get revenge tonight, so come here!"

Xie Chen couldn't beat Malone last time, but he's not afraid now. However, Malone was confused after hearing this. Isn't Kobe a kid who just entered the league? What relationship do you have with him? Which one is Lopez referring to? He even felt that it was extremely ridiculous for a small point guard to want to teach him a lesson.

Soon, Karl Malone discovered that Xie Chen actually wanted to grab a rebound with him, and took the initiative to push Malone under the basket. Malone smiled contemptuously. Although he was 34 years old, he still had all his muscles, and a small point guard actually What are you thinking about competing with yourself for position?

"What?" The next second, Karl Malone was shocked!

Tomorrow the Thunder will face the Warriors. What do you think? Will Westbrook have another 50+?
