Super all-around point guard

Chapter 159 Antetokounmpo, the highest point guard in history!

This tall man with long arms and a green face, who is not known to many people in the NBA, is Giannis Antetokounmpo, known as "Antetokounmpo". The reason why he has this nickname is clear at a glance by reading his English name.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, with such a long name, the Bucks’ home DJ really doesn’t want this guy to score goals, because his name is too difficult to pronounce. The Bucks officials once invited passers-by to read Antetokounmpo’s name on the street, but no one pronounced it correctly.

Brother Antetokounmpo is a sophomore in the NBA. He entered the league a year earlier than Xie Chen. He is from Greece. In the All-Star rookie game next month, he will inevitably have a duel with Xie Chen.

There is no doubt that his physical talent and athletic ability have made everyone have high hopes for him from the beginning, but his performance has not been very eye-catching except for some goals that have stunned everyone. However, in the two games after the announcement of the All-Star voting results, Antetokounmpo is like a sudden success.
No one knows why, just like today, facing the defending champion Spurs, the Bucks, barely hovering in the top eight in the Eastern Conference, overturned the Spurs at the Spurs' home court!The biggest hero is the Greek monster, who slapped Duncan's layup on the backboard at the last moment.

The Spurs fans have never seen the performance of the best rookie Xie Chen, because the Heat have not visited here this season, but before Xie Chen came, another guy had already surprised them. In their eyes, this big man who sees is believing is more terrifying than the rumored all-around point guard!
After completing the final block, Antetokounmpo calmly walked out of the player channel amidst the exclamation among the people. Even Popovich couldn't help but look at this guy more.

Back at the hotel where he was staying, OJ Mayo, who was once the darling of God, the top high school player in the United States, the No. 2008 pick in [-], and was hailed as the next James but drifted to the Bucks, knocked on the door of Antetokounmpo.

"What are you doing? Dude, the next game is two days away. Do you want to go out for a drink and see the beauties in San Antonio? Let me teach you something. When the team is on an away trip, you have to find a way to relieve stress." OJ Mayo came to invite Antetokounmpo to drink flower wine, but Antetokounmpo didn't seem to be interested.

Antetokounmpo replied: "I'm not going, I'm reading a book."

"Reading? What book?" Mayo walked into the room, took the book on the bed in his hands, and looked surprised: "SUNTZU...OMG, is this "The Art of War"?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" is a compulsory course for American military academies, and it is also very popular in some famous universities, so Mayo has heard of this classic art of war from ancient China.

Mayo was amazed: "I can't believe you are a guy born in 94. Goodbye, brother went to the nightclub!"

……

At the same time, Xie Chen got together with Wade Ross and others in Chicago. Wade is from Chicago, so he chatted with Xie Chen about things in Chicago. During this period, a small fan, Will Jones, sent a message to Xie Chen on the Internet, hoping to discuss with Xie Chen about the Heat's next opponent, especially Antetokounmpo, who has gone berserk in the last two games, but no response was received.

……

T. NT.

The host said: "There were a lot of wonderful games today, some were successful and some were unsuccessful, but no matter whether they were successful or not, they were all very exciting. What do you think of today's game?"

O'Neal was the first to take the words: "First of all, Xie is definitely qualified to be the All-Star vote leader. Look, in the games he played, he only lost to Chris Paul's Clippers, and that was because of me..."

"Oh, come on, Shaq, you don't want to say that it's because you deliberately stimulated Paul at the Dingri Tucao Conference, so that Paul performed supernaturally and killed Xie? How many times have you said it!" Barkley interrupted when he heard that O'Neal was about to brag about himself again.

Kenny Smith also said with a smile: "CP3 is supposed to be better than TSE, it has nothing to do with your stimulation, just get to the point, don't brag about B."

O'Neal smiled awkwardly, with a helpless expression on his face: "OK, Xie is definitely worthy of his more than 150 million tickets. When he wants to score, he can score 38 points in a single quarter, breaking the historical record. Even if he doesn't score, he can easily help his teammates score today."

"But what I want to say today is that Giannis is definitely qualified to appear on the All-Star game! His performance in these two games has proved his strength and potential, and he deserves to be an All-Star!"

Both Barkley and Kenny Smith agreed with O'Neal's words. They scored 30+13+5+5 in two consecutive games and led the team to victory. This is definitely the performance of an All-Star player.

At this time, the host said: "Everyone knows that the Heat will face the Bucks at home in the next game. At that time, Giannis and Xie will face off for the second time this season. Last time, Giannis' performance was mediocre. In other words, the statistics in this season have not been as conspicuous as in these two games. Otherwise, I believe he will be selected as an All-Star as you said. For this game, do you think there is suspense? Is there anything to watch?"

"There is absolutely no suspense, there is definitely something to watch." O'Neal summed it up in one sentence: "Now the Heat are a championship team, while the Bucks are one level lower, but the matchup between Xie and Durant is no less interesting. Giannis' performance in these two games is bound to continue to Miami. I guess this guy will steal the limelight that has always belonged to Xie. And, don't forget, Jason Kidd may let this big man be a point guard!"

"If this is the case, even if I am sleepy, I will watch this game with my eyelids on my hands!" Barkley added.

"OK, one last question, what do you think is the reason why Giannis suddenly aroused his greatest potential?" asked the host.

"Chris thanks."

"Chris thanks."

"Chris thanks."

……

Two days later, Miami, American Airlines Arena.

I have to say that these old guys from T.NT are really good. They guessed many things in today's game right, and even guessed the reason why Antetokounmpo suddenly broke out. That's right, it was because of Xie Chen.

Seeing countless fans wearing Xie Chen's No. 0 jersey, Antetokounmpo's face was dull, and the blood in his chest was burning.

"Why? Why can a kid who just entered the league be loved by so many people? Why can he be in the All-Star in the first year, and he is also the All-Star vote leader? It turns out that I have been wrong all the time. Fuck it and play steadily. These days, I have to be famous early. What happened to the second year? I should kill the Quartet in my rookie season! I want to be an All-Star! I am no worse than anyone in this year's All-Star lineup!"

Xie Chen was indeed the reason for Brother Antetokounmpo's explosion. Seeing Xie Chen, who was a year younger than him, suddenly became an All-Star, this big man who originally planned to slowly hone his skills and grow into an All-Star suddenly realized his wrong thinking. That's why these two games have such amazing performances.

Xie Chen, on the other hand, didn't know that the big man on the opposite side was jealous of him, and practiced shooting calmly while chewing gum. In his opinion, the Bucks were not a terrible opponent, and he believed that winning this game with the power of the Big Three would not be a big problem. Moreover, the accumulated points in the system had reached 372 points.

However, he didn't realize that in the NBA where the arena is like a battlefield, crises can occur at any time, and sometimes they will appear in ways you can't imagine...

The two sides finally started fighting, and it was at this moment that Xie Chen realized his troubles in this match.

After the jump ball, the Heat jumped to get the ball, and the Heat moved the ball very quickly. Wade attacked the basket as soon as he came up, and scored two points for the team first.

Then, the Bucks served the backcourt.The Bucks player handed the ball to Antetokounmpo No. 34!

There was quite a commotion at the scene.

"Giannis actually plays point guard! Jason Kidd is really daring to think and do, what a creative coach! Hahaha, how tall is this guy? Must be higher than Magic Johnson? Oh my god, I didn't expect that Xie's opponent tonight is the tallest point guard in history!"

"Kidd is of course a creative coach. I knew it as early as when he said the phrase 'HITME' to the players, and it's not the first time that Giannis has been the No. [-] position. Kidd has always had this idea. In his view, any player with a good handle, regardless of size, can be a point guard, and he has already sent Gary Payton to privately train Giannis."

"So, Jason Kidd is playing for real? Then this matchup will be interesting, the highest point guard in history vs. the strongest point guard in history in the future!"

Antetokounmpo was the No. [-] position, and the fans looked very fresh and surprised, but to Xie Chen, it was nothing. Before that, he had heard some rumors that Antetokounmpo was talented, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

After receiving the ball, Antetokounmpo was ready to cross the half court, but how could the Heat allow this big man to bring the ball over so easily and came to the center line. Xie Chen and Luol Deng quickly stepped forward to double-team. Antetokounmpo made a back turn and barely passed the defense.

Xie Chen dribbled the ball without rushing to organize the attack. Seeing Wade's opportunity, he quickly gave it over. Wade made a layup with a stray step, and then Antetokounmpo suddenly appeared, blocking Wade's layup!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, but Antetokounmpo's performance was just the beginning!
I saw that the big man didn't pass the ball. After blocking the shot, he picked up the basketball and rushed forward. The Heat retreated quickly. Xie Chen wanted to use Paul's stealing skills to stop Antetokounmpo, but he didn't even have a chance to reach out!
Antetokounmpo rushed forward like the wind, and after a few strides no one could keep up, he made an easy layup.

There was an uproar in the arena, the two-meter-one big man actually blocked the shot and made a layup!
