Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment. Faced with Rose's question, Xie Chen finally understood why he felt so familiar when he saw Rose's actions just now, because this action was originally done by Xie Chen!

Drunk driving style layup from behind!

Rose actually imitated Xie Chen's classic move he did with the Knicks last season! Was this done inadvertently, or was it a deliberate imitation to pay tribute to Xie Chen?

Judging from the expressions on Rose and other Knicks players, I'm afraid Rose did this intentionally, and his teammates may have known about it for a long time.

Rose himself admired Xie Chen very much. The two of them came into contact earlier than Xie Chen had contact with other stars. When Xie Chen was not famous, he went to Rose in person to challenge him. Considering Xie Chen's achievements now, Rose thinks this is something to be proud of. The first thing the strongest player in history does when he enters the league is to challenge him instead of looking for Westbrook, LeBron or others. This shows that in Xie Chen's heart , Rose's status is very important, not to mention that Xie Chen once imitated Rose's folding layup action.

Since Xie Chen had also imitated Ross, and this might be the last time the two of them played against each other, Ross also decided to imitate Xie Chen's moves to pay tribute to Xie Chen, so he chose this move.

Rose liked this drunk-driving style behind-the-back layup very much. He swayed left and right with his center of gravity unsteady, making everyone look very worried, but he also seemed to do it casually, as if he was dancing. The ball went in.

Xie Chen was very happy to see someone imitating his actions. He smiled at Ross and said, "Obviously, you are drunker than me."

Xie Chen's words meant that Rose's center of gravity was so unstable that he was about to fall down. It was really dangerous for the ball to be scored. Rose also laughed after hearing this.

The game continued. Xie Chen didn't expect that this was just the first tribute to Xie Chen in the game.

During a Lakers attack, the Lakers missed a shot and Porzingis grabbed a defensive rebound. An unexpected scene happened at this moment.

Before Porzingis could pass the ball, Anthony, who was behind Porzingis, suddenly stepped forward quickly and cut the ball out of Porzingis' hands!

"He actually stole the ball from his teammate!" There was some surprise at the scene.

However, Xie Chen suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar again, but he didn't know whether it was because he was old or because he had played too many games. He really couldn't remember why at the first time.

Anthony didn't wait for Porzingis to pass the ball, and took the initiative to cut off the ball from his teammates and rush forward. It was obvious that he had to do the fast break by himself this time. His desire to score was very strong, and he couldn't wait!

The Lakers' defensive players were also caught off guard. They didn't expect Anthony to run so fast. Coupled with his strong body, if you force a breakthrough, you can't stop him without fouling.

Just when he was about to lead all the Lakers players, Anthony made another surprising move. He hit the ball hard with one hand and slapped it forward. Luol Deng, who was originally wrapped around Anthony's body, was stunned. Seeing Anthony speed up again and rush forward to grab the ball.

When Anthony got the basketball again, he was already in a position where he could take off and dunk. Anthony took one step forward and held the ball with both hands. He first placed the ball on his waist, held the ball in the air and swung his lower right side, and then held the ball with both hands. Lift it up and jump over your head, without looking at the basket, slam the rim with both hands!

"What a cool move! I didn't expect Carmelo Anthony to have such a gorgeous side!"

"Idiot, that's what Xie did with the Knicks last season! Anthony imitated Xie on purpose!"

This dunk suddenly brought Xie Chen back to last season. Xie Chen had never seen this action with his own eyes, because he did it himself. This was his first time watching the ball as a bystander.

"Stealing the ball from a teammate... It seems that no one else has done this except me. Was I so eager to get the ball for a fast break? This dunk action is interesting. Why would I use it? This dunk action? Oh, I remembered, the person guarding me at the time was JR Smith." Xie Chen finally remembered that this was a goal scored by the Knicks when they played against the Cavaliers last season, and Porzingi was also intercepted at that time. Sri Lanka.

"Porzingis is so miserable. Last season he was intercepted by Xie Chen, and this season he was intercepted by Anthony. If you want the ball, just tell me. You are the boss, and I will not deny it to you, haha." Some netizens sympathized with Porzingis. Get up.

"These guys..." Xie Chen really didn't expect that this time against his old teammates, they would come up with such a way to play. It definitely seemed to be premeditated.

Next, it was not surprising that Porzingis paid tribute to Xie Chen.

The Knicks attacked, and Anthony forced a shot after attracting double teams. Porzingis, who has always been good at making up dunks, jumped up. After getting the ball, he made a windmill movement with both hands, and then dunked the ball into the basket. !

During the make-up dunk, he actually dunked with a windmill. Isn't this obviously something only Xie Chen can do?

There was also a lot of applause for Porzingis' tribute action.

Porzingis also proudly showed off to Xie Chen: "How is it? You did a good job, right?"

Xie Chen didn't know how to answer. He was very touched that they, who were now opponents, could do this. So, Xie Chen became even more excited. If it was the last time they met, he didn't want to have any regrets.

Then, the game seemed to become an All-Star Game level. There was no double-team defense against Xie Chen. The Knicks players watched Xie Chen play in singles, Xie Chen played in singles with Rose, played with Anthony, and played with Porzingis. The scoring has been easy, and the Knicks haven't been unhappy about it.

In the end, the Knicks collapsed in the fourth quarter and lost to the Lakers. Xie Chen scored a 50+ triple-double in this game.

This game was not intense, there wasn't much tit-for-tat, it was more of a battle of memories.

Seeing that the Lakers won so easily, some people even suspected that there was a conspiracy in Xie Chen's retirement.

"I finally know why Xie Chen announced his retirement. He wanted the team to break the 73-win record! Just like today's game, all the opponents held back because of Xie Chen's retirement, allowing the Lakers to easily win this game. One game, if every opponent plays with this mentality, the Lakers will not be able to lose in the next month!"

If every opponent in the future is like the New York Knicks he met today, then Xie Chen is certainly confident that he will not lose a game and break the regular season record, but he knows that this is unrealistic, that is, Anthony, Bol Old teammates like Zingis will be merciful, and the Knicks coach Hornacek is very grateful to Xie Chen for what he did before, so they are willing to lose this game and let the players enjoy the duel with Xie Chen , but other teams don’t do this.

After the game, Xie Chen once again held a "quasi-retired superstar" sneaker gifting event and gave his former teammate Porzingis a pair of signed sneakers in the hope that he would become a superstar in the future. He also exchanged sneakers with Anthony.

In the evening, Xie Chen also invited them to have dinner at home.

Xie Chen and Anthony still drank some wine together and talked about the game and life as they did last year at home in New York.

Anthony said: "I only learned about the matter between you and LeBron recently. I am on your side in this matter. LeBron should not want to know your secrets so much. As your teammate last year, I was also curious. But like Phil, I have always respected you. You didn’t tell us, and we didn’t want to find out. But Richard asked Michelle to get close to you. LeBron didn’t know about this beforehand. I didn’t expect you. It ended up being such a big fuss, and I guess the stimulation he got from us winning last year was also a factor."

Xie Chen said calmly: "Don't mention it again after this matter has passed. LeBron also stood up and admitted that he flopped, didn't he?"

Anthony nodded and said: "He is still a good guy. If he wants to force you to leave the league without being able to play, I will never believe it. He will never be my friend again. By the way, Paul and I Erzingis has decided one thing, if he is eliminated from the playoffs, he will come to Los Angeles to be your audience."

Xie Chen did not expect Anthony to say such a thing. It seems that he is not very optimistic about the Knicks' playoff prospects. The Knicks had many problems last year. The reason why they won the championship was because Xie Chen used his super ability time and time again. Pulling the team back from the brink, now that the Knicks don't have such a player, winning has become a difficult task.

"I will welcome you very much." Xie Chen smiled.

"Can you promise me one more thing?" Anthony asked with a serious expression, "Break the record for the best record in the regular season. You were born to break the record, and you, the Lakers, still have a chance, so go for it. , you have already made plans to retire, right?"

The Lakers have now lost seven games. If they want to break the record, they can only lose one more game. Next, the Lakers still have many games, and they have to face many strong teams. The next two games will be against the Hawks at home. , an away game against the Warriors is a very difficult game, and it is very likely that the hope of breaking the record will be dashed within a few days.

Anthony knew that it would be very difficult for the Lakers to break the record. After all, other teams would not be as friendly to Xie Chen and the Lakers as the Knicks. He also knew that Xie Chen did not care about his own health when he fought hard. Of course, he did not want Xie Chen's body to be harmed. Injury, I just wonder if Xie Chen fails in the playoffs due to a minor injury, will he be able to let Xie Chen play in the league for another year?

"Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to break the record!"

…

Three days later, it was home again, the last match in the regular season, and a game that might never happen again.

However, this game is very different from the previous two. The Eagles are stronger. They are currently in the second position in the Eastern Conference. They are launching an attack on the first place in the Eastern Conference, so the outcome of this game is It's important to watch.

Before the game, head coach Budenholzer said to the players: "In this game against the Los Angeles Lakers, I will not allow you to make any gestures to pay tribute to Chrissie. What the New York Knicks did in the last game, I I don’t want you to do it. I know that most of you admire him very much and even admire him. You feel very regretful and sad about his decision to retire. Believe me, I feel the same way, but we still have to try our best to win. In this game, forget the significance of this game. Xie also said that he will not retire until he wins another championship, which means that he will definitely lead the team to the finals. In this case, we only need to become the Eastern Conference champions and enter the finals. In the finals, we can meet him again. In that case, we can play at least four games. If we lock in the championship, I will personally arrange tactical design actions for you to pay tribute to him."

In the Eagles, the little yellow-haired Schroeder was originally very disdainful of Xie Chen, but gradually he came to appreciate Xie Chen's style. As a point guard, he really did everything that any guard wanted to do. Likewise, he was a three-point shooter. Korver also admired Xie Chen's three-pointers. DeAndre Bembry, the rookie selected by the Hawks this year, regarded Xie Chen as his idol and would imitate Xie Chen's moves during training from time to time.

After the game started, the Hawks put a lot of pressure on the Lakers. The Hawks didn't think about the significance of this game at all, and they didn't care about whether Xie Chen retired. They played very fiercely and were in very good shape, especially It was the newly joined Howard who grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds. Howard's arrival changed the Hawks, who were originally last in the league in offensive rebounds. Howard not only could grab offensive rebounds himself, but also created space for his teammates to grab offensive rebounds. .

With the addition of Howard, the Eagles' defensive efficiency has further improved, making it difficult for the Lakers to score, even for Xie Chen.

Xie Chen made a strong breakthrough and reached the basket, but Howard pulled him down very fiercely, which caused a burst of boos from the audience.

"Dwight Howard went too far. Didn't he know that this might be the last time he played against Xie? Forget it if he didn't pay tribute, but he treated Xie so rudely. Did he want Xie to get hurt?!"

"Maybe they think the Hawks can make it to the finals! Wake up, you'll be lucky if you don't get swept by the Cavaliers!"

In addition, there are also many Xie Chen's anti-fans who think this is a normal phenomenon. There is no rule that requires everyone to pay tribute to Xie Chen when he announces his retirement. After all, Xie Chen is just a newcomer who has only been in the league for less than three years. These old people cannot be forced to pay tribute to him.

Howard's ferocious defensive actions against Xie Chen also made Xie Chen clearly realize that even if he announced his decision to retire, the next few games that may be limited will not be all touching and peaceful, ferocity and anger will still exist. This is fine, this is how the game should be interesting.

Faced with Howard's flagrant foul, Xie Chen did not get angry. Instead, he said to Howard: "Dwight, the thought that this may be the last time I play with you makes me feel so reluctant to leave you..."

Howard's fierce face immediately became calm. This big boy who always loved to laugh even looked a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, don't do this!"
