Super All-around Point Guard

Ever since Xie Chen obtained Michael Jordan's layup ability in the legendary plot, he has been hiding this ability and has not been in a hurry to make it public. The reason why he hid it is because of the Golden State Warriors.

Even though Xie Chen's current ability is perfect, Xie Chen is still a human being after all, so he wants to steal a victory by surprise when the opponent doesn't know his layup ability.

Xie Chen had already planned to use Jordan's layup ability in the first game of the series in order to win the first victory and make a good start for the series. Since the ability was about to be exposed, Xie Chen simply let these things go in advance. Superstar friends know that they are all people Xie Chen can trust. They have been in Los Angeles during this period and even went to away games to support Xie Chen, which moved Xie Chen very much.

Xie Chen did not waste this rare opportunity to train with superstars. After breaking through Harden, Xie Chen faced the defense of three people under the basket and took off resolutely, gliding from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket.

Andrew Wiggins stretched out his long arms and rushed over. In Xie Chen's eyes, Wiggins was equivalent to Durant. Xie Chen dodged Wiggins' defense in the air. After gliding over, he still used his right hand to spin the ball up. The basketball spins from the left side of the basket and hits the backboard, then spins into the frame!

Uh-huh!

Everyone was shocked. Xie Chen's layup was very good!

Westbrook was immediately surprised and said: "I feel that Xie's layup is a little different."

"I feel it too." James Harden also said. They all saw that Xie Chen's layup was obviously difficult. Facing three people in the air, he could actually put the ball up with such difficulty and seemingly very light. .

Xie Chen has done many difficult moves, but the problem is that he has never done a difficult layup.

"Xie, many people are saying that you are the most all-around player in the world. Every ability is top-notch. Except for layups, could it be said that... you have been hiding your layup ability?" Wiggins can't wait. Want to know the answer.

Xie Chen nodded and said: "What I say next is a big secret, but I believe that none of you will leak it to my opponents or the news media. In the past two seasons, you have never seen me facing two people. Or I did such difficult moves when we were three, but the fact that I intentionally didn’t do it doesn’t mean that I can’t do moves like Jordan and Kobe.”

Everyone was shocked. If Xie Chen could really do a layup like Jordan Kobe, then Xie Chen would really be a perfect all-around star!

James Harden said: "I have always suspected that you hide your layup ability. Your jumping, staying in the air, and shooting are all so good. Why do you only use these talents for dunks, but don't have any outstanding moves for layups? Because of my limited abilities, I chose to have more physical contact with my opponents to draw fouls and free throws. However, this trick did not work well against the Spurs in the playoffs. When you beat the Spurs, the effect is the same as mine, and you are better than me. What's worse is that not only did you not get a foul, but you were called for fouls many times. If you can avoid those guys in the air and complete layups, who would want to have contact with them? It's just that after ordinary people avoid the threat of defensive players in the air, I’m afraid there’s no way to throw the ball in the basket anymore.”

"Can you show me a few more?" Zach LaVine asked. Although LaVine can stay in the air for a long time, even longer than Kobe and Jordan, his layup ability has not yet reached the top level. Not to mention compared to the two great gods.

Xie Chen nodded and said: "Of course, I asked you to come here just to practice this with me. You have to think of yourself as guys like Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Think about them facing me. How to defend layups, I also need to practice hitting shots in the face of different defensive methods."

Later, Xie Chen made several beautiful layups in front of several people, which surprised everyone.

"Faced with such a defense, you can actually score goals? You must have been practicing in private for a long time!" James Harden said helplessly.

Westbrook also showed excitement and said: "Haha, thank you, I didn't expect you to save such a move. These layups are very difficult, and your success rate is so high. I can't wait." I want to watch your game against the Warriors. When they guard your outside three-pointers like the Spurs and let you break through, you can score in the air with any attitude. Although this ability still does not guarantee you win the entire series, it can win one game. It’s no problem, they will definitely be stunned by you.”

Anthony said: "I can already imagine the surprise of fans all over the world when Xie showed his true layup ability. Xie, you can always bring surprises to people. I kind of regret that when I entered the league, I gave up everything at once." All my abilities have been exposed, so I should learn some tricks and show them off at the critical moment."

Just when everyone was surprised by Xie Chen's Jordan-like layup ability, two more people appeared at the door. One was Xie Chen's wife Katie, and behind Katie was Pat Riley.

"I heard that everyone was invited here by you, so I came here too. I didn't bother you, right?" Pat Riley smiled. He had always wanted to repair the relationship with Xie Chen.

When Hassan Whiteside saw the president coming, he walked forward excitedly and said, "It's such a coincidence that you came. Guess what Xie showed me just now? He actually has a talent comparable to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant." His layup ability! He will surprise the Golden State Warriors soon!"

While Pat Riley was shocked, he also realized that it was a bit rash for Whiteside to say this. Xie Chen might not be willing to tell him such an important thing if he was willing to disclose it to these trusted friends, so Riley said first: " Xie, you can rest assured that I will not leak this matter to anyone.”

"I believe you." Xie Chen still trusted Riley's character.

Then, Riley saw with his own eyes Xie Chen's different layup, facing two or three people's defense, performing difficult moves, and the success rate was so high.

Xie Chen's layup made Riley see the shadow of Jordan. Riley asked: "Xie, can you imitate Michael's classic air hand change? You did it once when you were with the Heat. Obviously it was not with you." Real ability does it.”

"Yes, I believe that Xie Chen can imitate that hand change in the air perfectly, even better than Michael Jordan!" Whiteside also wanted to see Xie Chen use this action.

Others were also looking forward to it, but Xie Chen said: "Since this is a playoff action, let's wait until the playoffs to see it."

Xie Chen once used Rose's ability to imitate Jordan's classic layup when he was with the Heat. However, he was criticized for being only a spiritual resemblance and not as good as Jordan. Xie Chen will definitely use Jordan's ability to regain his face.

Riley continued: "I know you have been hiding for so long just to catch the Warriors off guard by suddenly appearing. However, you can win one game with this, but you cannot win four games. When you perform well on both the outside and inside, the Warriors are helpless. When you play, they will limit your opportunities to touch the ball even more severely. I think you should think about these latter issues at this time. If you don't control the ball, Nick Young is not qualified for this job. I am more optimistic about the young Bran Get Ingram and let him handle the ball and control the situation, but this kid didn't build confidence at all in the playoffs. You call him over and I'll talk to him."

Riley actually wants to contribute to the Lakers. With Riley's qualifications and abilities, educating Ingram is obviously more effective than Xie Chen and Luke Walton, but why does Xie Chen feel like there is a bit of conspiracy...

If Ingram really grows into a superstar in a few years, would it be better for Riley to recruit more people...

Xie Chen still called Ingram over. Xie Chen had spent a year under Riley and knew that the magician had his own way of dealing with superstar players. Others could not imitate him. The Bulls were lagging behind, so Riley left Wade alone to encourage the opponent with words, causing Wade to become more courageous as he fought and played a great series.

When LeBron James came to the Heat, he also hoped to get Riley's guidance at all times. He hoped that Riley would become the team's coach, but Riley refused because his body could not stand the bumps in the away game. If Riley was really kind, , then Ingram is definitely making money. Not everyone has the opportunity to get the guidance of this magician, not to mention that Ingram is not a player of the Heat.

Ingram arrived quickly. Seeing so many superstars in the arena, as a junior, he was a little scared and seemed more reserved.

"Boss." Ingram walked up to Xie Chen first.

Xie Chen said: "President Riley appreciates you very much. If you don't understand anything, you can just ask him."

"President Riley?!" Ingram was shocked. He also admired Pat Riley extremely.

Pat Riley came over with a kind face, patted Ingram on the shoulder, then took him to the other side to a deserted place and told him Ingram's next role.

Ingram also just learned that Xie Chen's layup ability is a hidden ultimate move, but he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Riley said: "After Xie uses this hidden ability in the finale, your role will be reflected. Currently in your team, you are the most suitable person to hold the ball. Luke Walton plays in Xie during the regular season. I trained you like this in the few games you didn't play, and I believe he will make the same choice as me, but you haven't built up confidence in attacking with the ball."

Ingram lowered his head and felt a little ashamed: "With the help of Xie, I scored a lot of points in the regular season, but I don't know if I can really control the ball and support the Golden State Warriors... …”

Riley encouraged: "Of course you can. Even if it's not because of Xie, you still need to train your ability in this area. This is the general trend of the league. Look at LeBron James and Draymond Green. These forward players all have outstanding abilities. Support ability. If you don’t know what to do on the court, let me teach you a simple way. Don’t you often imitate Kevin Durant in playing? Then watch how he plays on the court, and then follow suit and make yourself better. Imagine being Kevin Durant. Of course, your ability is not up to his level, but the defense he faces is also stronger than you. When Xie is being targeted, whether you are scoring or assisting It’s all very easy, you have to have confidence in yourself, you know?”

Ingram respects Riley very much, and he keeps every word of Riley's teachings in mind. Although there are three points of lies in Riley's words, when the real battle is played, it will never be as easy as Riley said, but the young Ingram Mu still gained confidence: "Then I will practice holding the ball more these days."

Hassan Whiteside on the side saw Ingram and Riley chatting happily, and couldn't help but think: "If Brandon Ingram and I join forces in a few years, our defensive threat to our opponents will be really incredible. Estimate it!”

Both of them are good interior defenders with tall height and long arms, and they will be very scary together.

James Harden said: "Stop imagining good things, Hassan, you only have one chance to partner with a superstar in your life, and that is with Xie and D-WADE. From now on, you can take your time on your own. Xie, can you be Jordan's for once?" Changing hands in the air, I want to watch it so much, looking at your expression, you will definitely do better than Michael."

In fact, Xie Chen was just trying out his skills in front of them today. He didn't do many exciting moves, including the classic mid-air hand layup. Xie Chen smiled and said, "It's not like you didn't buy the tickets, why are you in such a hurry? , wait until the game is live to watch, it will be more enjoyable to watch with the atmosphere of the fight between me and the Warriors guys. As for the action of changing hands in the air, I can't say that it is better than Michael, I can only say that it is not worse than him .”

"If you are not worse than him, then you are already at the top level!" Harden said, thinking that at the peak of his career, Tracy McGrady couldn't even reach the level of "not worse than Jordan".

Seeing that Xie Chen refused to be exposed, Harden suddenly said: "The Warriors guys are also in Los Angeles now, and they are probably training together at this time. Why don't we go and have fun with them, and we can help Xie get some information."

Xie Chen felt embarrassed. He had no intention of letting Harden and the others go undercover. This was not honorable.

Westbrook is still a stranger to Durant, so he said: "I won't go, I'll go with you guys."

Harden also understood Westbrook's feeling of not wanting to see Durant, and then faced Whiteside and Carmelo Anthony, saying: "You are both Xie's former teammates, and the league knows that you and Xie are brothers, you two It’s best not to go, just let me go with Zach LaVine and the other three.”

Anthony nodded. He had no interest in visiting the Warriors training facility. After all, he was not very familiar with guys like Curry and Durant, nor was he a first-class star, unlike Harden.

After hearing this, Whiteside insisted: "You have just learned such a big secret from Xie, and now you are going to your opponent. I must follow you to prevent you from snitching."

James Harden gave Whiteside a roll of his eyes, and then looked helplessly at Xie Chen. Xie Chen also smiled. Of course he knew that Harden would not do such a thing.

…

Warriors training facility.

Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green and others are not practicing. Instead, they are all surrounding a glittering golden trophy. The trophy actually looks like the FMVP trophy!
