Super all-around point guard

Chapter 30 Layup skills!
ESPN, First Take.

After the game between the Heat and the Hornets, the host of the ESPN program FirstTake also had a heated discussion about the Xie Chen phenomenon. There were three hosts, and the unremarkable black female host could be ignored. The debate was on Smith and Bayless.

Bayless is a vicissitudes of life old white man, and he yelled at Xie Chen as soon as he came up: "Believe me, I have never seen such a selfish basketball player. Look at what he did in the game just now? He took as many as 34 shots, left defenders behind countless times, went to the basket to grab rebounds, blocked shots, and gambled steals...Oh my God, so what if he scored 42 points? With such a high shot right, anyone can average more than [-] points per game!"

Black Smith has a pair of sexy thick lips, and he speaks loudly, especially when arguing with others. He raised his glasses up, ready to start a verbal battle with his old opponent: "Listen, I absolutely disagree with what you just said about Chris Xie. He is a rare rookie in recent years! Since LeBron James, no rookie can give me such a strong feeling!"

"First of all, you said that he occupies the ball more. That's right. In a team with Wade and Bosh, everyone except James should obediently hand over the ball. But don't forget, Wade is not in good shape this year and his desire to attack is not strong. But facing Al Jefferson, what can you expect Bosh to do? Apart from the two of them, do you think the Heat have any offensive points? Luol Deng is good, but he is more bulky, with more turnovers and strong hits, and the success rate is almost the same as Xie. There's no one left."

At this time, Bayless said: "OK, I can understand and accept his offense, but his defense is unbelievable. This is the behavior of an NBA player!"

Smith nodded and said: "That's right, Xie's defense sucks, and his behavior is also very puzzling, but don't forget that he has only played in the NBA for less than a month, and these basic mistakes will definitely disappear in the future. We should focus on his potential. He scored 36 points in his debut, which is even lower than LeBron's. Now his scoring average is close to that of Kobe Bryant, and he may even win the scoring title as a rookie this year! This is what Xie really deserves attention!"

Bayless laughed loudly: "Not only as a rookie, but also as a point guard. Who is the point guard in history who won the scoring title? Archibald? The only monster who won the double crown of scoring and assists in one season. Xie You scored. Although his shooting percentage is not high, his assists are average. He is far from being so versatile. Big O and AI count?"

"Yes." Smith nodded: "Strictly speaking, Xie is a combo guard. He reminds me of Allen Iverson back then."

Before Smith finished speaking, Bayless interjected: "It's far away, buddy, Xie's breakthrough is not as good as AI, and his scoring method is only three points, which is not as good as Iverson. Speaking of Iverson, it reminds me that Iverson played PG at the beginning because of height restrictions. An exclusive system, traded all the other scorers of the team, in exchange for selfless defenders and selfless teammates, and then opened the era of scoring champions, so now the question is, is it possible for Xie to let Coach Spoelstra do the same? The answer is no, Wade and Bosh cannot leave, and it is impossible to become Xie's helpers!"

"Your concerns are justified, man." Smith said: "Now the Heat are in a very awkward situation. Their first offensive point has just left. The team desperately needs someone else to fill the vacancy, but it takes time for rookies to grow. The only problem with Xie now is that he is too eager. But I still firmly believe that he is the best rookie after LeBron. In the next game, facing the biggest competitor for the best rookie of the year, Xie will prove himself."

"Hahaha, since you play thank you, then I will play Wiggins. Let's see who is the best rookie in the next game!"

……

Not only ESPN's program started to discuss Xie Chen, but the famous hosts Barkley and O'Neal also had a heated discussion about it, and the topic of "best rookie battle" was fired to the peak. Three days later, the Heat's Timberwolves game is bound to attract the attention of countless NBA fans and professionals.

Although Xie Chen scored a new career high, he was also accused of playing too much alone and taking too many shots. Fortunately, he won the game and the team is currently on a winning streak. Once a game is lost because of Xie Chen, Xie Chen will be crucified immediately and accept the attacks of public opinion from all sides.

After the game, the Heat and his team stayed in a high-end hotel in Charlotte. Xie Chen stayed in the hotel room for a long time without falling asleep. He was using the computer to check the information of various NBA players.

"Whose layup skills should I copy?" Xie Chen checked all the current layup masters in the league, and finally made a long list.

Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks, DeRozan of the Raptors, Rose of the Bulls, Irving and James of the Cavaliers, Paul George of the Pacers (injured), Wall of the Wizards, Wade of his own team, Thunder of the Thunder, Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Splash Brothers and Iguodala of the Warriors, Paul and Griffin of the Clippers, Kobe of the Lakers, Nowitzki and Gao Fushuai of the Mavericks, Harden of the Rockets, Harden of the Rockets Leonard and Ginobili of the Spurs.

"Well, it's such a difficult decision!" Looking at the long list, Xie Chen fell into a difficult decision. The players on this list are all layup masters in the current league. Copying anyone's layup ability can make Xie Chen's layup ability qualitatively leapfrog. As a last resort, Xie Chen can only use the method of elimination.

The first factor to consider is the level. The level of the breakthrough skill copied last time was very low. That is because Xie Chen wanted to grab the starting position at that time, so he had to choose a low-level breakthrough skill, because the low-level skills can improve and integrate quickly.

Now, Xie Chen has basically secured the position of the Heat's No. [-] PG. In addition, it is very difficult to open the copy permission, so this time he must choose an S grade.

Then, there is the question of integration.

"According to my preliminary judgment, the closer the opponent's body is to my own, the easier it is to improve the fusion. If I choose a big man's layup skill, it may have amazing power, but it may take a long time to improve to [-]%."

Thinking of this, Xie Chen reluctantly ruled out LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and others.

After the height issue, there is the age issue. Xie Chen must choose a player who is in his prime.

Then, Wade and Ginobili and others were also ruled out.

In the end, only Rose, Irving, Westbrook, Paul, and Harden remained on the list.

Choose one out of five!

Everyone made Xie Chen salivate, they were all top layup masters in the air!Value for money!Be sure to choose the one with the best price-performance ratio now!
After nearly an hour of difficult choices, Xie Chen finally made a decision. He chose Derrick Rose of the Bulls!

Rose is only 26 years old this year. Although he has experienced injuries, he is still at his peak age, and judging from this year's state, his layup movements and ability are still at the top of the league!Compared with Westbrook and Owen Harden who are in full swing, Rose is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

There is no doubt about Rose's physical fitness. His jumping ability and ability to stay in the air are quite good. His jumping layup and folding layup are even more signature moves, and he is rarely blocked when he enters the penalty area.

"Will I soon have Rose's ability to layup?" Xie Chen felt excited when he thought about it. Although in his opinion, Michael Jordan is the No. 1 layup player, because Jordan's airborne and layup skills have reached the highest level of basketball players, but Rose, who also came from the Bulls, has inherited a lot of mantle.

The Bulls will go to Philadelphia to play an away game in two days, but Rose is not on the active list. Because of his injury, he has not returned to the team, but media reports say that Rose has fully recovered and will return in the near future.

Therefore, Xie Chen decided to leave for Chicago tomorrow. He will go to the Bulls' training hall and challenge Rose to show off his top layup skills!
