Super all-around point guard

Chapter 34 The Best Rookie Competition!

(Today is New Year's Eve, Hanyue wishes all book friends good luck in the Year of the Sheep, happy family and good health!)

Pat Riley and Spoel stood side by side, looking intently at Xie Chen and Cole who were facing each other on the court. Pat Riley wished he could record Xie Chen's movements with a DV player and study them slowly when he went back. He was really interested in Xie Chen.

"Mr. Riley, who do you think will win this duel? Xie or Norris? I am more optimistic about Norris Cole. He has been in the Heat for three years. I know his ability very well. Bullfighting is different from the official game. He values ​​a player's overall strength. Yes, Xie's three-pointers are better than Norris, and breakthroughs are more lethal than Cole. view.

Riley smiled, did not look at Si Bo who was looking at him affectionately, but stared at Xie Chen intently, and said with a smile, "Really? I agree with you."

Sipo shrugged helplessly: "Obviously not, my teacher."

Then Riley smiled and looked at Spoelstra, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Eric, I didn't perfuse you. I really agree with your point of view. In a one-on-one bullfight, comprehensiveness is the magic weapon to win. It seems that Xie currently only has the three-pointer as a scoring method, and a kid as smart as Norris must know how to stop Xie from scoring. That's right. Norris Cole has been in the Heat for three years. We all know that he never fights an uncertain battle. In front of us. But even if I'm bullish on Norris Cole, I'd still bet on Xie if I were going to bet on it, don't ask me why, I don't know."

As Pat Riley said, Norris Cole challenged Xie Chen after doing his homework. He was definitely not as reckless as Chalmers last time. Cole watched all the videos of Xie Chen in the past few games and found that Xie Chen's attack methods were very simple. Except for a few layups or layups, Xie Chen didn't dare to enter the penalty area at all!
Norris Cole spread his arms to block Xie Chen's line of sight, and said inwardly, "As long as you stop your three-pointer, I will win this duel!"

Cole never imagined that Xie Chen's mind is full of layups to improve his fusion!

"Layup! Layup! I want a layup! I want to improve my fusion as soon as possible!"

After Xie Chen dribbled the ball, he used Lowry's breakthrough skills to speed up and pass Cole.

Spoel was startled, pointed at Xie Chen, and said to Riley, "The action just now... After dribbling, he jumped with both feet, there was a short lingering time, and then he folded for a layup. This is... this is..."

"It's Derrick Rose's signature layup," Riley added to Spoelstra with a smile.

Both of them were shocked. This Xie Chen is really a "cottage king". It's not enough to imitate Curry, but he wants to imitate Rose's layup?Anyone can imitate Curry's shooting posture, but can anyone do Rose's layup?

His layup requires extremely high jumping, strong waist and abdomen strength for support, and strength and staying in the air are necessary conditions. Judging from the ball just now, Xie Chen's layup is better than before, but compared to Ross, the jumping in the air is still far behind.

"Mr. Riley, don't you want to continue watching?" Spoel was thinking, when he saw Riley turn and leave, he was puzzled. Xie Chen was a player he was very curious about, didn't he want to see the result?
"No need, I already guessed what will happen next." Riley walked away with a smile on his face. Before he left, he did not forget to ask Spoelstra: "I know that you plan to start Norris Cole in the next game, but against the Timberwolves, let Xie start. After all, the entire United States is paying attention to the matchup of the best rookie. Giving him the status of a substitute is not very respectful to him."

"Yes, Coach Riley." Spoelstra watched Riley leave respectfully. He hasn't called Riley "coach" for a long time. In fact, Riley has always been the coach of the Heat. He has the final say on everything. Spoelstra feels a little wronged, but what can he do?It was he who helped him to this position. In the era of the Big Three, which has never been seen before or since, he was the one who supported himself as the coach of the Heat Dynasty, even though James expressed his dissatisfaction with the shoulder collision incident, even though Wade yelled at himself.

"When will I really control a team?" Spoelstra stared blankly at the floor with a gloomy expression.

At this time, the fierce duel on the field reawakened Spoelstra, and Xie Chen once again broke through Cole's defense and staged a Ross-style layup again!

"Damn! It's another layup! Could it be that he saw that I focused on his shooting?" Cole was a little annoyed, and decided to pay attention to his layup next time.

The integration of Rose's layup skills has increased to 40.00%, which is not a big deal, but because Xie Chen has an absolute advantage in height, even if only Rose has four successes, it is more than enough to deal with Cole.

In the next attack, Xie Chen dribbled the ball and broke through Cole again!

"Dare to break through! I won't let you succeed!" Cole stubbornly resisted Xie Chen's breakthrough attack without changing direction. Cole thought that the speed and strength were not inferior to the yellow man, but when the two bodies really confronted each other, Cole felt that Xie Chen in front of him seemed to be a different person!A stronger man!
With a whoosh, Xie Chen broke through Cole's defense!Straight to the basket!

"You still want to layup? You are delusional!" Even though Cole is only 1.8 meters tall, the black man has an amazing jumping ability. With the height of Xie Chen's layup, it is not difficult to block him!
Xie Chen still took off with Rose's usual feet and leaped into the air. The basket was right in front of him. However, as long as Xie Chen dared to pick the basket at this time, Cole, who was tailing behind him, would perform a chasing cap!
Xie Chen knew that he didn't get rid of Cole's defense, so he didn't layup directly, but paused in the air!
After possessing Rose's ability, Xie Chen really understood what it means to stay in the air!This is just the ability to have four successes. If all of them are integrated, the wonderful feeling of staying in the air is unimaginable!
Who said yellow people could never have the physical gifts of black people?then I can!
Cole gritted his teeth and covered it with a big hand...

Xie Chen actually evaded Cole's defense in the air, pulled his arm to the other side of the basket, and made a layup!

"Draw the bar for a layup! How did he do it!" Coach Spoel was shocked!
"This is impossible!" Cole couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the basketball falling from the net after landing!
Xie Chen picked up the basketball, threw it to Cole, and said condescendingly, "Now you should know why I dared to challenge Derrick Rose, right?"

……

In that bullfight, all ten of Xie Chen's goals were scored by breakthrough layups. If Cole was unexpected at the beginning, after that, even if he knew that Xie Chen was going to layup, Cole couldn't stop him.

Cole is considered a traditional point guard, while Xie Chen is currently a full-fledged offensive combo guard. There should be no suspense in this bullfight.

The game against the Timberwolves is getting closer, and the media is getting more and more hyped. The battle for the best rookie is currently the hottest topic in the NBA, and even today's top superstars have expressed their opinions on this.

James is in a dilemma, because these two rookies are related to him, one is a "former teammate" who has never played together, because when Xie Chen signed with the Heat, James was still in Miami.In order to get Love, James forced Wiggins to leave his hometown.He can only say that these two people are very good, and he really longs to be teammates with them.

Kobe, the league's scoring leader in the new season, also expressed his opinion. He also believes that both of them are excellent rookies. It is rare for two outstanding rookies to appear this year. Although Wiggins is amazingly talented, he is more optimistic about Xie Chen.

Durant and Harden naturally support Wiggins, and among the retired star players, AI is optimistic about Xie Chen, and McGrady prefers Wiggins because he thinks Wiggins is very similar to his rookie season, with excellent defense and rich singles ability. He also said that in the next three seasons or so, he is optimistic about him surpassing Harden.

The balance leans slightly towards Andrew Wiggins.

** On the host stage, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith gathered together, and had a heated discussion about tomorrow's matchup between the Heat and the Timberwolves, and the question of who is the best rookie between Xie Chen and Wiggins.

Smith did not comment, but left the matter to the two fat men to argue.

Barkley said: "We are all players, OK? We know best whether a player is strong or not. Look at the amazing basketball talent of Andrew Wiggins, which is comparable to Xie? The best rookie must be Andrew Wiggins!"

O'Neal naturally disagreed: "You only see the talents of the two, but not the statistics of the two. Xie averaged 32.2 points per game, and Andrew only averaged 17 points per game. A blind man can tell who is better!"

Barkley immediately countered: "Xie's scoring is based on crazy shots. Everyone knows that the Heat lost an offensive point after LeBron left. Otherwise, who would allow a rookie to take so many shots? As far as I know, Coach Spoelstra has decided not to let Xie start in the next game, and will strictly control his playing time. Listen, he won't even score 20 points in the next game!"

O'Neal laughed loudly: "Are you kidding? Xie can't score 20 points? For him, 20 points won't even take two quarters!"

Barkley was also anxious: "I'm not joking. Didn't you hear that Andrew Wiggins will personally defend Chris Xie in tomorrow's game? Xie only has three-pointers to score, but what can he do against a strong defender ten centimeters taller than him? I'm sure he can't score more than 19 points. If he can exceed 19 points, I'd like to kiss your ass!"

Everyone laughed, this sentence makes people dream back to 2002!
