Super all-around point guard

Chapter 33 Cole's Challenge!
(The last time a year ago I asked for collection and recommendation! I wish everyone a new year in advance!)

On May 2011, 5, the Windy City was full of roses.

On this day, the official NBA website officially announced the ownership of the regular season MVP. Derrick Rose beat Howard to win this honor and became the youngest player in history to win this award.

At that moment, in that year, "Wind City Rose" was all over the league.

The name of this literary art comes from his combination with this city. Chicago is located in the middle of the United States, at the confluence of Lake Michigan, the largest lake in the world, and the Chicago River. It is hot in summer and not cold in winter, and windy all year round, so it is called "Wind City".

Windy City Rose recognized itself as No.1 in the league after winning the regular season MVP, the most valuable award, but the situation that followed was horrific.

In 12, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee and was reimbursed for the season.

In 13, he tore the meniscus in his right knee and missed all the remaining games.

He is no longer the best player in the league, but he is not reconciled because he is only 26 years old!This is the peak age of professional players!
Every word Xie Chen said was like a knife, piercing into Ross's heart. This has long been out of the low-level level of trash talk. After Ross roared, his whole person was completely new, his eyes were on fire!
"No, I'm still the best point guard in the league, the best player! LeBron, KD, Russell... can't do it!"

Rose dribbled the ball again, and the Bulls teammates on both sides cheered in unison. Wade secretly thought something was wrong, Rose might have to do his best this time!
Ross singles Xie Chen, breaks through and dribbles from the right, Xie Chen pretends to keep up, but unexpectedly, Ross suddenly turns around and breaks to the left, easily passing Xie Chen!

"What a beautiful turn around!" Xie Chen was slightly startled. The ball was indeed released, but even if he didn't release the water, he couldn't prevent it at all. After realizing the strength of Ross's breakthrough, Xie Chen secretly vowed that the points will be sufficient in the future, and he must copy Ross's breakthrough skills!
After passing Xie Chen, Rose rushed to the basket like the wind, and Wade flew up to block the shot. After taking off with both feet, Rose faced Wade's defense in the air, and even played in the air.
"nice shot!"

"I can't believe it! Only Rose can make such a difficult layup!"

The Bulls were excited, Rose's ball was simply too beautiful!His back turn is extraordinary, his take-off, his bounce, his mid-air, his pull-bar layup...no one can match!He is still one of the best players in the league!

At this moment, the system made a soft beep.

"The layup skill of the target person has been copied."

"Skill level evaluation: S."

"Current Fusion Degree: 30.00%."

"Successful! Finally successful! I have Derrick Rose's layup ability!" At this moment, Xie Chen also became excited along with the Bulls.

But at this moment, something that no one expected happened!
After Rose's difficult layup, when his feet hit the ground, his right foot sprained, and he sat on the ground, hugging his feet, looking like he was in unbearable pain!

The audience was shocked!

Rose has just recovered and will play in the last two games. Will he be injured again?I can't hurt anymore!
Bulls coach Thibodeau rushed forward frantically and asked about Rose's situation. Anyone could see his love for his apprentice. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wade quickly pulled Xie Chen to retreat.
"Derek, how are you?" Wade asked hastily.

Rose knew that his foot was injured again, but he played the ball just now very well!So at this time, he smiled and said to Wade: "I'm fine, you go, welcome to challenge me again anytime!"

Wade didn't say anything else, he pulled Xie Chen and ran outside. Thibodeau took the lead and yelled at Xie Chen. The other players were also annoyed. At this time, the reporters who had been called before rushed over, but they didn't see the scene of Wade Xie Chen and Rose's challenge. They only saw Rose sitting on the ground. Could it be that they lost?
Thibodeau grabbed the reporter and yelled at the camera: "I want to strongly condemn Miami's rookie Chris Xie. As a professional player, he even ran to our arena during the regular season to challenge our players who hadn't returned from injury, causing Derek to be injured again! Players like him should be fined and expelled! I swear, next time I meet the Heat, I will desperately win them!"

……

Thibodeau's madness was soon widely known. The news that Xie Chen and Wade visited Chicago to challenge Rose also spread in the basketball circle. After a doctor's examination, Rose, who had planned to come back in the next two games, had to postpone it for another week. This angered the Bulls and Rose fans.

The already high-profile rookie contest, the game between the Heat and the Timberwolves, has now received unprecedented attention. Andrew Wiggins instantly gained millions of supporters. They hope that Wiggins will teach Xie Chen a lesson in the next game and express their anger for their idol Rose.

In fact, Rose himself, who was injured by Xie Chen, did not complain about Xie Chen. Instead, he thanked Xie Chen for challenging himself in the interview. Because of Xie Chen, he inspired the best of himself, and because of Xie Chen, he regained his previous self-confidence!

No one paid attention to Rose's thanks to Xie Chen. Everyone had nothing but resentment towards Xie Chen!

The next day, the Heat's training facility.

After a day of training, when all the players were about to leave, Norris Cole suddenly walked up to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen found it very strange, because Cole was a person who was used to "talking behind his back", and it was the first time that he was looking for himself face to face like today.

Cole's expression was serious: "Now everyone is discussing your visit to Chicago to challenge Rose. You are ashamed of our Heat. You don't deserve to be a Heat player! Why do you challenge an MVP-level player? Why do you become the Heat's starting point guard! Today, I want to challenge you!"

There were not many people on the basketball court, only Xie Chen's trainer Wang Zhihui, coach Spoel, President Riley, and an assistant coach. They looked at Cole with a look of horror, but they didn't stop them.

Problems between players should be resolved between players.

Xie Chen smiled coldly. Everyone resented him for challenging Ross and getting him injured. Xie Chen would not say anything. Ross is a good player, and he has the layup ability from him, so how could he want him to get hurt!
But Cole obviously took advantage of the problem, believing that it was a lie to be ashamed for the Heat, and it was true that he refused to accept Xie Chen as the starter!

It should come sooner or later. Last time, Chalmers challenged himself. This time, another PG Cole also challenged himself. However, Cole was very smart. He chose a time when other players were not there, but the coach was there!

If Xie Chen can be defeated in this heads-up, Cole's position as a coach will be even more stable!

Xie Chen secretly said: "Cole, Cole, you really know how to choose the time. When I didn't get Rose's layup ability before, if you challenged me, with my only three-pointer and breakthrough ability, I might not be able to win you, but today, hehe..."

Xie Chen was full of confidence, and was wondering who to practice his layup skills to improve his fusion. Cole automatically came to him. Xie Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your challenge!"

Seeing this, Spoel asked Pat Riley in a low voice whether he wanted to stop the fight between the two. Cole is an old general and Xie Chen is a new recruit. He was afraid that the two would hurt their peace because of their position. But Riley always adhered to the principle of solving player problems. He waved his hands, crossed his hands, and looked excited: "Don't you want to see how strong our rookie who dares to challenge Derrick Rose is really?"

Regarding the detailed process of Xie Chen and Wade challenging Rose in Chicago, Riley had already known from Wade. Even, the reason why Wade went to Chicago with Xie Chen without hesitation was also instructed by Riley a long time ago!

He let Wade get close to Xie Chen very early on, to have a good relationship with him, and to learn more about Xie Chen's personal strength and various situations. The reason for doing this is because he can't see through Xie Chen, a player who can't even see through a magician!

The two sides played ten balls. Cole first attacked. Cole was 1.8 meters [-]. Facing Xie Chen's height, he was at a disadvantage, so he decided to use his speed to get rid of Xie Chen's defense.

After hitting the first ball, Cole said arrogantly: "Even I can't defend, I really don't know why you dare to challenge Derrick Rose!"

Xie Chen took the ball, this time it was him who attacked, facing Cole with a calm expression, the corner of his mouth raised an arc, and smiled: "You will know why soon."
