Super all-around point guard

Chapter 350 The most terrifying opponent of this season!
This is the first tough battle for the Knicks in the new season, and it is also a great opportunity to prove the level of their team. Because too many people are too curious about Xie Chen, so this game, the Big Three of the Cavaliers, Riley of the Heat and others are also paying attention. The strength of the Eagles is very strong. If both sides play their respective standards, then this battle can test the true strength of the Knicks. This is very necessary information for James.

In the first half, Xie Chen and Anthony showed off together, almost taking all the team's points, and the shooting percentage of the two was not bad. In the second half, Xie Chen didn't change to assists like the previous game, and still wanted to solve the opponent by himself.

Xie Chen's scoring continued to increase. In one-on-one defense, it was difficult for Teague to really limit Xie Chen. But gradually, everyone realized a very serious problem, that is, defense. From the beginning to now, the scores of the two teams were at a stalemate, but the Eagles could always score effortlessly, while the Knicks relied more on the personal strength of Xie Chen and Anthony.

Poor defense caused coach Fisher to call a timeout twice, but there was still no progress. The Eagles could still score in a relatively easy way. Gradually, everyone became more impatient.

Teague is a very smart point guard. He wears No. 0 like Xie Chen. He realizes that this Knicks team is only superficially strong, but it is still scattered and lacks cohesion.

At this time, he thought it was an opportunity, and suddenly shot two three-pointers in front of Xie Chen, and they all hit, forcing the Knicks to call a timeout again!
"Good shot, Jeff!" Horford Millsap and others walked towards Jeff Teague and clapped hands one by one, but Teague looked at Xie Chen with a deep smile.

This is the first dilemma the Knicks have encountered. What should the team do when they fall behind?Xie Chen has done his best, he has already scored 40 points, and Anthony has also scored 27 points. Maybe they can continue to chase points, but the Knicks' defense is too poor, and the Hawks score too easily.

Only then did Xie Chen realize that the current Knicks team still has a long way to go before it can compete for the championship. Many players in the team have not entered the state at all, or have never entered the state.
When they were behind by 8 points, Xie Chen looked at Anthony and Lopez. From their darkened eyes, Xie Chen could see that even though they were giants, their desire to win was not that strong.

Carmelo Anthony, once known as the peerless twins with James, has now become a star of different levels and is far behind James. In addition to being not as BT as James in terms of talent and ability, I am afraid that personality is the biggest factor leading to this situation!
The ancients often said that character determines destiny, which is true in any industry.

Some Chinese netizens once compared James and Anthony to North Qiao Feng and South Murong in Jin Yong's novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". Of course, Qiao Feng was referring to James, but Xie Chen did not think that Anthony was Murong Fu. If the final circumstances of the two were indeed very similar, the problem was that Murong Fu's ambition was far behind Anthony's.But Anthony, this Melon who can fascinate countless people with a smile, is an optimist who pursues happiness in playing, and what he lacks is precisely this ambition!

The same is true for Lopez. He is satisfied with his current results. If he is a person with a strong desire to win, if he is a person with ambitions for the championship, then in the new season, he should not be in this state in the Big Three team.

That is to say, in the whole team, except for Xie Chen, no one has the hunger and ambition for the championship!This is what Xie Chen is really worried about!
"This team has a big problem. It's not just the offense, it's not just the defense. It can't be improved over time. They lack the desire to win. I need to mobilize the beast in their hearts, especially Carmelo Anthony."

A very real problem is that in the playoffs, the Knicks’ biggest opponent is LeBron James’ Cavaliers. It goes without saying how strong James’ ambitions and desires are. He has become so domineering that he thinks this is his era, and the championship should be his every year, so he simply cannot tolerate failure.

Against such a strong and tough opponent for seven games, as Xie Chen's biggest helper, Anthony must play the most bloody side.After all, this Knicks team, apart from Xie Chen and Anthony, really couldn't find any players they could rely on.

The problem can't be solved in a while, and the Hawks really played too well today, and they will have a relatively high chance of winning against any strong team in the league. Therefore, after the timeout, the Knicks still have nothing to do with this team. In the end, the Knicks lost their first regular season game at home.

In the first match, Xie Chen lost his ability. He thought he would lose to his opponent, but unexpectedly won it easily. In this match, Xie Chen possessed systematic ability from the beginning to the end, and he still played at home, but he did not expect to lose to his opponent.

Although they lost to the Eagles, Xie Chen and Anthony's performance was still very impressive, especially Xie Chen scored the league's first 50+ points since the beginning of the regular season, and Anthony also scored 35 points.It's a pity that even if the two scored more than 80 points together, they still couldn't help the team win.

After this game, many people commented that the Knicks fell into the embarrassment when the Heat’s Big Three were first formed. Everyone’s statistics are very good, but they can’t win. Even 6 games.

Anthony's change and growth are imminent. Xie Chen hopes that he will become more bloody, because he will not only play with Anthony this season, but also face those legendary teams in the past.

When Xie Chen talked to Anthony about the team's problems early the next morning, Anthony said to Xie Chen very optimistically: "You think too much, brother, the regular season has just started, and we only lost one game. Don't worry too much. We have plenty of time to slowly improve the situation."

Xie Chen sighed. Speaking of it, Anthony still trusts Xie Chen's ability too much. If Xie Chen can use all the system capabilities in home and away games this season, he will not be so worried. But the problem now is that Xie Chen may lose his ability in every away trip this season!
Once Xie Chen loses his ability, the Knicks will return to the team that can only rely on Anthony to be slaughtered last season!

The next game was an away game, and the next opponent was the Wizards. Xie Chen suffered from insomnia the night before. Since the system changed, Xie Chen suffered from insomnia almost every day, and then stayed alone in the study.

The pregnant wife, Katie, woke up in the middle of the night and found no one around, so she put on a dress and got up to look for Xie Chen. She soon found Xie Chen in the study. She opened the door, and Xie Chen was still staring at a distribution map of an NBA team.

Katie teased her husband quite a bit, and Xie Chen was also amused by Katie. She hugged Katie into her arms and said with a smile, "I haven't slept well these two days, and I don't want to wake you up, so I came to the study alone."

Katie stood on her tiptoes, kissed Xie Chen affectionately, and then stroked Xie Chen's face with a concerned look on her face: "I know you will be very hard to play, and I feel sorry for you, dear, but I am very happy to be by your side this season, stay at home, and wait for you to come back, instead of being like last season, knowing that you are tired, but can't do anything for you."

Xie Chen said with a smile: "I am the one who is really happy. I promised you that I would let you stand with me on the podium of the championship, but now it seems that you should be in the hospital at that time..."

Katie looked at her belly and smiled happily, yes, what a coincidence, the day of the finals should be around the same time as Katie's due date.

At this time, Katie looked at the map hanging on the wall in front of the two of them. It was a distribution map of NBA teams. Katie found that many teams had a five-pointed star behind their names, so she asked curiously, "What does this five-pointed star mean?"

Xie Chen replied directly: "It means that the team is very strong and needs to be taken seriously."

"Oh?" Katie felt a little strange, pointing to the above teams and asked: "Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, are these teams strong? Heat without you, I think they can make the playoffs is already very good, the other two teams should not even make the playoffs, right? And the Chicago Bulls, this team, you have two five-pointed stars behind you, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have no stars behind, isn't that weird?"

Xie Chen just answered casually. He didn't expect Katie to get to the bottom of it and started to pursue it seriously. Xie Chen stroked Katie's soft hair and said with a smile: "You are really not in vain at ESPN. In less than a year, you have changed from a blind player to an expert. You have such a deep understanding of the team, haha."

In fact, the teams marked with five-pointed stars behind Xie Chen do mean that the teams are strong and need to be taken seriously, but they do not refer to the active teams, but the legendary teams behind them!
Of course, the current Chicago Bulls are not strong enough for Xie Chen to give such a high evaluation and attention, but the Dynasty Bulls behind him, who have won three consecutive championships and three consecutive championships, deserve Xie Chen's attention!

Xie Chen has been thinking about a problem for the past two nights, that is, the strength of the teams they met in the playoffs and their legendary teams. This season, it will be very difficult to win the championship, because if you want to win, you must not only beat the current opponents, but also beat the legendary teams behind them.

Xie Chen is very, very fortunate that the legendary teams behind his biggest opponents, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, are not so BT. What really worries Xie Chen is the legendary Celtics and Lakers. They can't even make the playoffs this season!
Even if the Lakers can make it to the playoffs, they will definitely not make it to the finals, so Xie Chen, who is in the Eastern Conference, doesn't need to have any worries, and the Celtics will definitely not make it to the playoffs. If the Celtics are a team that can compete for the championship, then it will be harder to play against the Celtics than against the Cavaliers!
Now, the opponent Xie Chen is most worried about, besides the Cavaliers led by James, with the system changes, now there is another one, that is the Chicago Bulls!

Even the Bulls led by Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Gasol caused Xie Chen more headaches than James' Cavaliers!

If the Knicks and the Chicago Bulls meet in the playoffs, first of all, the Bulls team would have a chance to beat the Knicks. Secondly, half of the seven-game series must be away games. Once they play away games, they will play against the legendary team behind the Bulls.
The experience against the Lakers who won three consecutive championships told Xie Chen that it was impossible to defeat the Bulls dynasty, at least with Xie Chen's current ability and the current ability of the Knicks. Then, once the game is lost, Xie Chen will have no system ability. Without ability, the Knicks will not be able to win the Bulls at all!
On the contrary, the opponent Cavaliers, Xie Chen can put all his energy on their active team, because the legendary teams behind them are not as strong as the active lineup.

In the past two nights, Xie Chen has rejoiced more than once that James is fortunately not in a strong team like the Bulls or the Lakers. Otherwise, this season really doesn't have to be played...

Xie Chen's biggest opponent this season is Rose's Chicago Bulls, not James' Cleveland Cavaliers... Who would believe it?
"Hey."

When Xie Chen was sighing, Katie suddenly found something written by Xie Chen on the desk. Katie picked it up and looked at it, then frowned in confusion: "Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Bernard King, Michael Jordan, Gilbert Arenas, who is the next opponent?"

"Wait, why is there a Chinese name below? This is Nianyi...Jianlian?"
