Super all-around point guard

Chapter 192 First battle after injury!
Pat Riley was busy in the office room at this time, when he saw Xie Chen coming, he said with a smile, "Sit down."

Handed Xie Chen a glass of water, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, sat down with Xie Chen, and said, "Chris Bosh came to me a few days ago and asked me to confirm his status. I had to appease him first. After all, I spent more than 5 million to keep him in five years. This was my promise to him when I kept him. Otherwise, he would be in the Rockets right now. I hope you can understand."

Pat Riley's voice was low and his face was sincere. He seemed to know that the young man in front of him must be upset, so he spoke to comfort him. Xie Chen looked at Pat Riley's wrinkled old face, and couldn't help feeling soft-hearted, and said: "You did nothing wrong. He has proved himself in the past few years. If I were the president, I would have chosen him instead of me. I just don't understand how Bosh, who has always been very forbearing, would suddenly ask you to do such a thing."

Pat Riley also frowned helplessly, took a sip of water from his teacup, and then said: "I asked your doctor, and he said that you have to rest for at least 10 days before you can play. It's only a week now. I allow you to follow the team to the New Orleans Arena tomorrow, but only if you wear a suit all the time."

Xie Chen said firmly: "No, Mr. President, I want to play, and now the team needs me."

Riley shook his head: "I can understand your current mood, but with your current state, you can't help the team much. What you have to do is to heal your injury with peace of mind. Only in this way can you support the playoffs and truly help the team. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if you get injured again? Do you know how many talented players are ruined by injuries? Why don't you take this seriously at all?"

Xie Chen is still firm: "I will be very cautious on the court, and I will not let myself get hurt again."

In fact, these two injuries were caused by not standing firmly on the ground, not due to confrontation with opponents. Pat Riley has always disagreed with Xie Chen's style of play that often has physical contact with opponents, especially when Xie Chen is grabbing rebounds. No matter who the opponent is, he dares to play physical confrontation with him.Every night when I go to bed, I dream that Xie Chen is knocked down by his opponent.

"Mr. Riley, I know you care about me, but I'm going to play."

Xie Chen's firmness made Patletley really helpless. Riley had his own plan for Xie Chen. He wanted Xie Chen to follow his requirements, but Xie Chen never listened and arranged him Wang Zhihui. He turned his strength trainer into his agent. Although he occasionally trained according to his requirements, most of the time came according to his own ideas. Crazy training steals, Riley is getting more and more uneasy about Xie Chen, and there is no more than the bottom, even if Xie Chen looks increasingly progressive.

In the end, Pat Riley had no choice but to agree to Xie Chen's request. Along with the different ideas of the two, a gap began to appear between the Heat president and the new AMVP.

After everyone heard the news that the Heat were going to make a comeback against the Pelicans, there was a lot of discussion. Since Xie Chen only played half of the game against the Lakers, this game was regarded as Xie Chen’s first serious game after the All-Stars, and the opponent was not a weak team, and the opponent also had an All-Star. Not long ago, he beat Westbrook, who is now the scoring leader, at the Thunder’s home court.

The New Orleans Arena in Louisiana, which is the home of the Pelicans, formerly known as the New Orleans Hornets, was also a Western powerhouse during Paul's time. After being acquired by car tycoon Tom Benson, the New Orleans Hornets officially changed their name to the Pelicans in 2013.

The Pelican is the state bird of Louisiana, and Louisiana is also known as the Pelican State. The new boss felt that this name was more grounded than the Hornets and closer to the culture of New Orleans, so he chose the Pelican.

The Pelicans had 34 wins and 48 losses last season and were ranked 11th in the Western Conference. This year, they played much better than last year. They are definitely a team that can hit the playoffs. This is also a force that must not be ignored in the future in the Western Conference.

In addition, Anthony Davis, the core and future of the Pelicans, has played well this year. This guy who aims to be the top five in history has averaged 25 points and 11 rebounds per game this season.

It's just that Xie Chen didn't appear in the All-Star Game due to injury, and Xie Chen didn't have the opportunity to compete with the opponent. However, Xie Chen was absent from the Miami Heat's home game two days ago due to injury, and the two missed the opportunity to compete again.

On the last day of February, at the New Orleans Arena, the Pelicans ushered in the undaunted "strong team" Heat. Fans entered the arena one after another, and they all began to make their own judgments before the game.

"After the All-Star Game, the game will be fierce. Every team is competing for the playoff rankings, especially a team like our Pelicans that is on the edge of the playoffs. For us, every victory is very important."

"You're right. Although we are facing the No. [-] in the East tonight, we are the No. [-] in the East. Among the Big Three, Xie is the only one who can appear on the stage, and Xie is also returning from injury for the first time. He is definitely not in good condition. I heard that he will be on the bench tonight and his playing time will be limited. This will be a great opportunity for us to win a victory!"

The Heat, which used to make people fearful, can no longer deter people. Xie Chen wore a team uniform and shot quietly in the half court, ignoring the pointers of outsiders, but he was indeed a little upset.

"I just won the All-Star MVP, why do everyone look at me with sympathy and ridicule?" Xie Chen was speechless. Wasn't Scarlett clarifying the relationship between the two?Scarlett had good intentions and didn't want to delay her from destroying her reputation, so why did she become a poor abandoned person?
So what if the MVP list and scoring list are surpassed?What about the team losing streak?Is the season over?Did I play during this time?

"Starting from this game, I want to get back everything that belongs to me!" Xie Chen clenched his fists tightly. Bosh, the biggest confidant, was completely reimbursed for the season. Xie Chen is the undoubted leader of the team. If he can still lead the team to an excellent record at this time, then the MVP of the regular season will be more competitive than anyone else!
However, if possible, no one wants Bosh to leave, because without Bosh, Xie Chen really has no idea about this year's championship, not to mention the championship, even the Eastern Conference champion, the Cavaliers Big Three, he doesn't know how to pass it!
"Oh, forget it, let's take one step at a time, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! Now I think the championship is too far away. The most important thing at the moment is to tell the whole league that the Heat are still a strong team, as long as I, Xie Chen, are here!"

Xie Chen was thinking emotionally, when suddenly a big man behind him patted his shoulder. Looking back, he really looked like Ru Hua in Zhou Xingchi's movie at first glance. Xie Chen also likes watching Hong Kong movies, especially Zhou Xingchi's comedies, so he laughed at the first sight of Anthony Davis, but I believe the other party must not know why he laughed.

"Big Eyebrow Brother" Davis saw Xie Chen smile, smiled himself, and shook hands with Xie Chen cordially: "Haha, we meet again, buddy, last time the All-Stars were injured and didn't have the chance to play against you.

"Thank you, buddy." Xie Chen smiled and shook Davis's hand.

Davis made no secret of his friendliness towards Xie Chen: "Hey, you know? I imitated you. When I was in Oklahoma City, did you see how I killed Westbrook? It was my teammates who told me that you used this trick on him, so I tried it too. I didn't expect it to be successful. Haha, you didn't see Westbrook's panic at the time. It's so funny. Rebound, it's a horrible triple-double machine, you have to be careful, your scoring title will be taken away!"

Xie Chen smiled faintly: "I don't care too much about the title of scoring champion, but if I really want it, no one can take it away."

Davis secretly sighed that Xie Chen was really domineering, but he was worried that Xie Chen's injury would not fully recover, otherwise, he would have had a hearty fight with him tonight!

Afterwards, the game started quickly. Sure enough, because of Xie Chen's injury and condition, Coach Spoel made him a substitute to play against Chalmers. He didn't play at the beginning. When the fans saw Xie Chen sitting on the bench, they couldn't help talking freely.

"It's been a few days since I saw Xie play as a substitute. I'm really not used to it. It seems that Xie's condition has not recovered to [-]%. The coach let Xie play this game just to let him find his condition. In this way, our Pelicans will have hope."

Facing the Heat lacking the Big Three, the morale of the Pelicans is high and everyone is full of confidence, especially Davis: "Thank you, don't blame me for not winning by force. I will never be soft in this game."

The Heat continued the bad momentum of the past few games, and it seems that they haven’t come out of the All-Star Weekend. Except for Luol Deng’s mediocre play, the others are like sleepwalking. Many pass mistakes gave the opponent a chance to counterattack. They choose not to play when they should attack, and they don’t score the goals that should be scored, which makes people look very worried.

And the defense was quite lax, allowing Anthony Davis to imitate Xie Chen again in the interior!
I saw Davis throwing his left hand to the backboard when he was attacking. All the Heat stared at the backboard blankly. No one made a move, but Davis jumped high at this time, touched the ball with his big right hand, and dunked the ball abruptly!
Throw yourself in!

What Xie Chen did in the All-Stars, Davis returned to him on behalf of the West in the regular season!
Xie Chen rubbed his chin, secretly said: "It's interesting."
