Super All-around Point Guard

When Curry said this, not only the reporters who were interviewing at the scene were shocked, but Durant, who was sitting next to Curry, was also shocked. Curry actually said that he would retire if the series was reversed? !

Durant looked at this teammate who had been with him for a year with a look of shock, and said in secret: "Ever since joining the Warriors, I have felt how much Stephen Curry wants to defeat Xie, but I didn't expect it to be so strong. .”

When Xie Chen was born, Curry also happened to shock the league. However, whether from the perspective of personal honors or the team he belongs to, it was Xie Chen who suppressed Curry. If not for Xie Chen, Curry would be the No. 1 player in the league today. One person, and may have won two consecutive championships, and this year may achieve the great feat of three consecutive championships, three consecutive MVPs, and three consecutive FMVPs!

What a great achievement this would be! But Xie Chen ruined all these possibilities for Curry!

Curry has been exposed to basketball under the guidance of his father since he was a child. He works hard every day as much as any other star. He finally entered the NBA. Many people said that Curry could not adapt to this league at all. In fact, when he first entered the NBA, Curry The ability in the team is not weak, but there is a brush in the team, one of the few lone wolves left by the Golden State Gang, Monta Ellis.

Six days after Monta Ellis scored a career-high 46 points, he was unable to play due to a knee sprain, so Curry waited for his own opportunity.

The day after Ellis was injured, Curry scored 36+10+13, the first triple-double of his career, and the first player in the 2009 rookie class to achieve a triple-double.

Two months later, Curry scored a near-quadruple-double and once scored 42 points in a single game. The data for the entire April was 26+8+6, which is already All-Star level data.

Curry was ready to stun the league next season and let everyone know about him, but injuries suddenly struck him. Curry only played 26 games in the 2011-2012 season.

After returning in 2013, Curry immediately set a new career-high score, scoring 54 points and hitting 11 three-pointers in a single game. He surpassed Ray Allen in three-pointers in the regular season and became the three-point king in a single season.

His partners Klay Thompson and Dream Green also came. When he wanted to have a big fight in the playoffs, unfortunately Bogut and other insiders were reimbursed one after another. But even so, Curry still fought hard with the powerful Clippers. The battle reached the seventh game.

In the 14-15 season, Curry finally reached his peak moment. His personal skills and three-point ability were perfect. His teammates have also completed their evolution. Klay Thompson has become a player who can score 37 points in a single quarter. A monster, Green has also become the best defensive player in the league who can organize, score and defend positions one to five.

They finally reached the finals, but met Xie Chen and lost for two consecutive years.

Since joining the Warriors in 2009, Curry has been waiting for so many years, but still can't win a championship. This year, the team even recruited Durant to form the Big Four unprecedented in NBA history. If he still can't win against Xie Chen , Curry might as well really retire!

Curry didn't mean what he said, but it showed his confidence in the next game. He would never allow the Warriors to be overturned again.

Xie Chen and Nick Young of the Lakers also accepted interviews with reporters after the game. Xie Chen was obviously not in a good mood. Nick Young was even more depressed when he saw that reporters were asking questions about what to do if the team fell behind.

"Why didn't anyone mention the response goal that Xie and I made in the game?" Nick Young pretended to be angry today and performed a classic goal with Xie Chen. He was looking forward to reporters asking him, "Nick Young, what are you doing?" Did you know that the ball would go in? When you celebrated with your back to the basket, were you nervous? Were you worried about what might happen if the ball missed?"

If a reporter asked him this, Nick Young would calmly reply, "Obviously, you can't see a trace of nervousness and worry on my face, even though my back is to the basket. I, Nick Young, never do The sure thing, I have confidence in my brother, yes, that’s how I trust my teammates!”

However, the Lakers are now 1:3 behind, and the atmosphere at the scene is not pleasant. Both reporters and Xie Chen seem to be worried about the next game. It seems not good if Nick Young takes the initiative to bring this up.

Suddenly, during the interview, a reporter mentioned: "Thank you, although you lost this game, you still contributed many goals in this game. For example, you and Nick Young responded to Stephen Curry and Duran That special goal is a classic."

who is it! Who asked this question! Really good at asking questions!

Nick Yang immediately cheered up, coughed quickly, sat up straight, and prepared to answer.

However, Xie Chen said: "If we lose the game, any wonderful goals will be meaningless."

Xie Chen replied with just one sentence! Reporters stopped talking about the issue.

"Thanks, I hate you!" Nick Young thought of how he completed that action so thrillingly, but was not praised by anyone. When he thought of the team now trailing 1:3, he felt even sadder.

On the special flight back to Los Angeles overnight, all the Lakers players were in a bad mood. They didn't even win a single victory at the Warriors' home court, and Curry actually said such harsh words after the game. It was obvious that he was Don't give the Lakers a way to survive.

Ci Shiping is a player of the older generation. He has played in many playoffs and has never heard his opponents say things like Curry. On the plane, Ci Shiping said unhappily: "What does Stephen Curry mean? Retire if he loses to us? Is he so confident that he can beat us?"

Nick Young was not sleepy and shouted: "That guy was taught a lesson by Xie and I on the court once, but it was not enough. Since he is so arrogant, let's show him the reverse and see if he will retire by then." .”

Luol Deng was not so excited and joked: "If it's true, thank you, after you win the championship, you can quit the league with Stephen Curry. The two strongest players in the league are suddenly missing, Adam Silver." I will definitely cry.”

Regarding Stephen Curry's words, Xie Chen later heard and saw the video of the interview, but Xie Chen did not make a single comment on it. He could understand that Curry wanted to beat him to win the championship. Determination.

"Curry has been waiting for too long. If it weren't for my appearance and if I didn't have the system ability, he would have at least won a championship now." Xie Chen sighed with emotion and looked out the window. The plane had already ascended to Auckland. Above, looking down from the plane, the city lights intertwined in the night. Although it was not as shocking as the gorgeous light scenes when taking off at night from Los Angeles and New York, Xie Chen was intoxicated by it.

"I don't know if I will come here again." Xie Chen murmured. His opponent has such a strong determination this year, and Xie Chen is not sure of winning.

If you really lose...

Back in Los Angeles, it was difficult for the Lakers players to have a relaxing time to prepare for the game. Media from all walks of life came to the Lakers training facility early the next morning and even started guarding Xie Chen in the parking lot. As soon as Xie Chen got off the car, the reporters Ask questions all the way.

"You said before that you would retire if you win this season. At the end of the regular season, teams and fans in many cities also held farewell ceremonies for you in advance. Everyone believed that you could really win the championship and retire this season, but now you are beaten by the Warriors. By 1:3, you may be eliminated in the next game. Do you feel that you have failed everyone's expectations of you? Is it too hasty to make such a promise before? If the Warriors' Big Four do not disintegrate, they may still be There is an obstacle that you cannot overcome, do you want to take back this sentence?”

Xie Chen felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but there were too many reporters in front of him. He would be exhausted if he answered every question he asked. What's more, the person asking the question was a woman, and Xie Chen didn't want to yell at a girl.

"It's only 1:3 now, I haven't lost the series yet, and everyone is accusing me like this. If I really lose, I don't know how many people will say that I am arrogant. Do you want me to take it back? This is not a fight. Is it your face?" Xie Chen couldn't help but feel that the reporter's question was ridiculous. She actually expected Xie Chen to announce in public that he would no longer mention retirement.

"Stephen Curry said that if he is reversed by you, he will retire. What do you think of this?" Another reporter attacked Xie Chen.

Xie Chen ignored them and walked away quickly.

"If you lose this season, will you stay with the Lakers, or go to another team to join other stars? Will you leave the West and return to the East? Many fans suggest that you find LeBron James to form the Big Four with the Cavaliers. Would you consider it?"

Xie Chen walked very fast, and in the end he couldn't bear the trouble anymore. After getting rid of them, he shouted to the reporters behind him: "I will go to the Warriors to form the Big Five!"

Of course, this is an angry talk. What Xie Chen pursues is to win the championship by relying on his personal ability. He doesn't even need dual cores. Will he form the Big Four? What kind of bird problem is this!

However, the reporters immediately recorded this sentence after hearing it, and they all exclaimed: "Xie actually joined the team that defeated him!"

Someone else said: "The alliance will be dominated by the Warriors!"

Arriving at the training hall, Xie Chen's mood calmed down after practicing for a while. Ci Shiping arrived late. As soon as he entered the gym, he smiled and asked Xie Chen: "Xie, I just saw a piece of news on my phone. , said that if you lose the game, you will join the Warriors, haha, you can do this kind of thing, very good, I just want to say, please bring me with you, I will also get a championship ring."

Although Ci Shiping heard the video on his mobile phone that Xie Chen did say this, he knew that Xie Chen's true thoughts were definitely not like this.

Luke Walton said to Ci Shiping: "Stop joking. The series is not over yet. Don't always say that we will lose. This will affect the morale of the team members. Thanks, can we chat for a few words?"

Xie Chen happened to want to take a rest. Seeing that the coach had something to say to him, he and Wharton walked to a deserted place and sat down.

Luke Walton said: "You must be under a lot of pressure now."

Xie Chen shook his head bitterly and said: "Who asked me to say in advance that I would retire after winning the championship? I have enjoyed the farewell tours brought to me by many teams, and now I have to endure everyone's doubts about me."

Luke Walton nodded. Xie Chen is still very mature and can accept these things calmly. Walton said: "I know what you are thinking about now is to recover the score and prove yourself, but you don't care about Stephen Curry's attitude." I saw it, and there was Steve Kerr, who had the same attitude as Curry. Do you remember last year’s Finals? You didn’t play in the first game because your daughter was born, and the Warriors were leading by one game, but they still lost the series. I still remember Cole's angry expression. He will never allow such a thing to happen again. Maybe you have never considered the situation after failure. Although as the coach of the Lakers, I shouldn't say such things, but I I want to remind you that if we really end it after the next game... I hope your mood will not be too affected by this. You have never been eliminated in the playoffs..."

Xie Chen knew what Walton meant. Xie Chen had never lost to anyone in the playoffs. He was worried that Xie Chen would lose the game after making such a big promise. Faced with his own promise and the accusations from the outside world, Xie Chen Chen Chen may be very emotional, and the Lakers may not be able to find or talk to Xie Chen in the past few days. Xie Chen may even be desperate and choose to leave the Lakers to join other teams in order to defeat the Warriors.

In fact, from the perspective of the Lakers management, whether the Lakers can reverse or not, there are gains and losses for them. From a personal perspective of Jenny Buss, she hopes the Lakers lose this season, Xie Chen Stay with the Lakers for another year and let the Lakers enjoy the feeling of becoming a top team and the most watched team in the world.

Xie Chen said: "You want to tell me about contract extension, right? Don't worry, I promised Jeanie Buss that if we don't win the championship this season, I will still be with the Lakers next season. Do you really think I will join the Warriors?" ?”

When Luke Walton heard Xie Chen's words, he finally felt relieved for himself and his boss, and smiled: "Haha, how could it be? No matter which team you go to, you can't go to the Warriors. That team is up and down. Hell, even the fans there hate you so much, haha, besides, the Warriors don’t have the money to put four superstars together at the same time.”

After hearing this, Xie Chen said: "It is precisely because of this that I want to go even more. I really want to see if I become a Warriors player, will those fans still boo me like that? Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson Arrogant guys like Green and Green will applaud me or be as angry as before when they see me showing off on the court. As for money, you should know that I never care about money. If I really go to the Warriors, my salary will be more than It doesn’t matter if Ian Clark is young, my rookie contract has just expired and I announced my retirement just when I was about to sign a big contract. Do you still think I am a money-grubbing person?”

Luke Walton listened to what Xie Chen said and analyzed it carefully. What Xie Chen said did make sense. According to Xie Chen's personality, he is definitely looking forward to becoming the new owner of the Warriors. That would be even more impressive than winning the MVP. He was excited.

Xie Chen dared to announce his retirement when he was under contract in Canada. He didn't care about making money in the league. Moreover, NIKE has reached a contract extension agreement with Xie Chen. Regardless of whether Xie Chen retires or not, Xie Chen will receive a large sum of money for the contract extension. Plus Xie Chen's wife Katie's family is also very wealthy.

Luke Walton's expression suddenly changed and he said: "You just said that if you lose, you will definitely stay with the Lakers and not go to another team!"

Xie Chen smiled slightly: "What if I win?"
