Super all-around point guard

Chapter 453 Comparing with James!
Now the first-year team has the highest scorer with Winslow, followed by Downs, followed by Porzingis. Winslow has Wiggins to defend, and Wiggins has also promised to defend well. Xie Chen believes that Wiggins’ ability does not need to worry about.

Towns did score a lot of goals in the first quarter, but most of his points came from Lakers rookie Russell's assists, and many of them were after Russell rushed into the penalty area to attract defense, and then jumped in the air and passed to Towns in seconds to let Towns pull up and dunk directly. Therefore, Xie Chen only needs to pinch Russell to prevent him from breaking through easily.

These guys on the first-year team are not fools, especially Russell, who has not performed well in the season but is very smart. He realized the changes in his opponents as soon as he came on the court, and reminded his teammates: "They have to play seriously, and we have to be serious. We just try to tie with them in this quarter."

Russell thought well. Even if this quarter was tied, they still led by 16 points at halftime. In the second half, even if they lost a little in the third quarter, they still had a better chance of winning. However, Russell was still too naive and underestimated the abilities of Xie Chen and Wiggins.

After Xie Chen came on the field, he first assisted Wiggins with an alley-oop. Wiggins' alley-oop dunk was astonishing, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the scene and announcing the start of the second-year team's counterattack.

Seeing that Xie Chen and the others had started to fight back, Russell took the opportunity to ask Xie Chen, "Are you going to start chasing points? It's just a rookie game, why are you so serious? You want to shoot three-pointers, right? I'll let you shoot!"

Xie Chen laughed after hearing this. Since Russell joined the NBA, his game skills have not improved much, but the trash talk seems to have great potential for cultivation. He obviously couldn't prevent Xie Chen's three-pointers, but instead let Xie Chen shoot.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't shoot three-pointers."

Russell laughed, walked over to catch the ball, just received the serve, just turned around and only dribbled one step, only to hear a "snap", Xie Chen suddenly followed up to steal it!
This made Russell unexpected!He never thought that Xie Chen would steal from this position, so the basketball in his hand was knocked out by Xie Chen.

This time it was Zach LaVine's turn. LaVine didn't retreat very quickly. Seeing Xie Chen steal the ball, he immediately rushed forward. After Xie Chen stole the ball, he saw LaVine coming, and then threw it forward.

Two dunks and two alley-oop assists by Xie Chen quickly narrowed the point difference to 12 points.

"Blame me, blame me, I was too careless." Russell repeatedly apologized to his teammates, and the first-year team resumed serving, and Russell became more careful.

This time, Xie Chen didn't go for the ball again, but just after halftime, when Russell was about to organize an attack, Xie Chen suddenly stepped forward to steal the ball, scaring Russell back immediately, but fortunately Russell still has a certain skill in dribbling, no matter how strong Xie Chen's ability to steal the ball is, it is impossible to succeed every time, but at this moment, Wiggins also stepped forward to double-team.

As soon as he was double-teamed, Russell panicked immediately. He only had one thought in his mind, to pass the ball quickly.

At this time, Xie Chen had withdrawn from the defense, leaving only Wiggins there. He took two steps back and stood in front of Winslow, ready to intercept Russell's pass!
Russell is still too young and inexperienced, he will be at a loss when he encounters a double team, and he will often make mistakes at such times. He seems to be unable to see anything in front of him, and he has no idea that Xie Chen is no longer there. He only remembers Winslow's position, so he quickly spread the word.

Winslow stood there blankly. Seeing Russell pass the ball, he really wanted to shout "No". Then, soon, he saw that the ball originally passed to him was easily intercepted by Xie Chen.

"Run!" After another steal, Xie Chen yelled at Wiggins. Instead of passing it directly to Wiggins, he threw it high in the half court. Wiggins threw away Russell and rushed over quickly. After taking two steps across the center line, he received Xie Chen's pass assist and successfully dunked again easily.

In a blink of an eye, the difference is only 10 points. Does anyone think that the second-year team will lose? Is the 10-point difference enough to give the first-year team peace of mind?

Especially for Payton, does he still feel that he can't catch up and lose points just by defending?

Payton, who was sitting off the field, was very tormented. He felt his face hurt and red as if he had been slapped. Just now, in front of his teammates in the same class, Payton reasoned with Xie Chen so loudly, accusing Xie Chen of being irresponsible and not taking the game seriously.
The commentator Yu Jia also said: "As Director Zhang said just now, the game was really good. Xie Chen caught up with defense alone. It's really scary. I think Xie Chen is the best defensive player this season."

Is just two steals considered a serious defense?That's not even close!

The first-year team was much more cautious in their next attack. They paid special attention to every pass, and never forced to attack. In the end, they handed the ball to Porzingis who was outside the three-point line. Xie Chen knew that Porzingis had the ability to shoot from a long distance, and he had a very accurate grasp of the rhythm of his shooting, so he immediately stepped forward.
"What?" Porzingis was shocked. He had never been an opponent against Xie Chen. As a teammate, he could often appreciate Xie Chen's power, but he didn't know that Xie Chen was not only powerful, but also terrifying until he was actually an enemy!
Porzingis is really lucky that he is Xie Chen's teammate with this amazing bullet speed and this overbearing block.

Needless to say, after blocking the shot, he succeeded in a one-stop dunk, and the point difference was within 10 points. Next, Wiggins blocked another one for Winslow, and the rebounds were firmly controlled by the second-year team. Soon, the two teams tied.

Off the court, Payton didn't dare to say another word. Xie Chen only scored two points in the 16-point gap, and he still didn't have a defensive dunk. The others were all assists. In other words, Xie Chen really recovered the 16-point gap just by defending.

After the two sides were tied, Xie Chen and Wiggins did not pursue the victory. After all, it was the All-Star Weekend, and there was no need for the two to do such extreme things. If it was a normal game, they would have gone from 16 points behind to 16 points ahead before giving up.

Xie Chen didn't play for a particularly long time either. Even on the field, he gave Wiggins the ball to play, or mainly passed the ball to assist his teammates and block shots. After the second half, no matter how hard the first-year rookies tried, they just couldn't take the lead. In the end, the second-year team defeated the first-year team without any suspense. Wiggins was named the most valuable player of the game, and Xie Chen was the team's assist leader.

Everyone can see that this is Xie Chen's intention to help Wiggins and let Wiggins win this award. In fact, in many people's minds, Wiggins should have won this award last year. Unfortunately, Xie Chen was the first All-Star player last year and he cared about it, so he played very seriously. It is impossible for Wiggins to win Xie Chen.

After the game, Porzingis also hugged his teammate Xie Chen tightly, and said happily: "I am so lucky to be your teammate. I will be your opponent today to know how terrible you are!"

Towns, Okafor, Winslow and others beside him looked at them with dull eyes, with indescribable envy, but Winslow was better than the other rookies, because the Heat were sure to make it to the playoffs and even compete for the championship, so Winslow also had the opportunity to appear on the stage of the finals in the first year.Others are not so lucky. After the All-Star Game, the regular season will be very short and fast. Then, after the regular season is over, those who can't make it to the playoffs will end their first year of career. I believe everyone will find it unpleasant.

The All-Star Rookie Challenge came to an end without much attention on the Internet. For Xie Chen's fans, there was no regret not getting the MVP of the rookie game. Their requirements were very low. As long as they didn't get injured on this day, everyone was focused on tomorrow, the slam dunk contest that would definitely shock the world!
The day before the slam dunk contest, the NBA 2016 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest on sinaweibo became the No. 1 hot search list, not to mention other dedicated NBA community forums. Everyone was discussing tomorrow's slam dunk contest and guessing the result of the slam dunk contest.

After dinner in the evening, Wang Zhihui browsed the Internet for a while, and asked Xie Chen with a smile: "In China's online voting, do you think who wins the championship more?"

Xie Chen felt that his popularity should be no worse than theirs: "Aren't I No.1?"

Wang Zhihui handed the phone to Xie Chen: "You are number one in the NBA bar, you are number two in Hupu, and James is number one."

Xie Chen shrugged and didn't care about these votes at all. How could those fans who don't know the truth know Xie Chen's true strength?

After a while, Wang Zhihui answered a phone call and said to Xie Chen in a panic, "JAY-Z has arrived in Toronto. LeBron James went to the airport to pick him up just now."

JAY-Z is an American hip-hop singer. He is a hall-level figure in the rap industry. He is the greatest rapper of all time. He has a great status and influence. He is also the owner of the Brooklyn Nets. Many NBA players grew up listening to his songs. LeBron James and JAY-Z have a close personal relationship and have been good friends for many years.

After hearing this, Xie Chen asked doubtfully, "Did JAY-Z come to see the All-Stars too?"

Wang Zhihui shook his head: "It's not that simple. Maybe you are the only superstar who thinks that the slam dunk contest only needs to be prepared for dunks. According to the information I got, at the opening ceremony of the slam dunk contest tomorrow, JAY-Z will stand for James and sing on the spot."

"Oh." Xie Chen didn't feel too surprised, "I found that you know James' movements very well. Could it be that our people have been placed by his side? I didn't realize that you still have such potential."

Xie Chen made fun of Wang Zhihui, and Wang Zhihui was also dumbfounded. For superstars like Xie Chen and James, every appearance is extremely important, especially if there are two superstars in a competition, it is necessary to compare the pomp and the like. You can’t just think about dunking. Forget about these things. Zach Lavin and Westbrook can do things hastily, but people like Xie Chen and James can’t.

Wang Zhihui said: "I mentioned this to you before. When you come out, do you need to make a special design? You said that it is good to simply appear on the field. Now, your opponent has called Jay-Z. I heard that Westbrook and Zach Lavin also asked for help. Are you sure you want to enter the field simply and alone?"

It’s okay for Wang Zhihui to say it’s simple, but it’s terribly lonely when he says it. Thinking of the single life he lived before getting the basketball replication system, no matter whether it’s a white girl, a black girl or a yellow girl, they are not as obsessed with himself as they are now.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen felt that it was necessary to ask someone to help him. Scarlett Johansson would definitely be going tomorrow, but it was a little inappropriate to invite Scarlett, mainly because of the relationship between Scarlett and Katie, and the fact that the two had had an affair before.

"I thought of a beautiful and famous female star." Xie Chen suddenly said happily.

Manager Wang Zhihui also quickly became excited: "Female star? Who is it? Could it be Scarlett?"

James invited a male star, and Xie Chen invited a female star, but they didn't lose anything.

"Ivy Chen." Xie Chen replied.

Wang Zhihui was a little disappointed. Ivy Chen is a well-known female star, but unfortunately her fame is only in China, and few Americans know about her. As for her figure, what a hot figure you can expect from a girl who is famous for her cuteness and freshness!
Xie Chen said: "In the afternoon, she sent me a text message saying that she has arrived in Toronto. If I invite her, she will definitely accept it."

Wang Zhihui said: "However, it's nothing to see if she's alone with you. I'm not saying she's not pretty, but the fact that she attracts you may not be able to attract the audience in Toronto. Besides, she's not a singer, so I don't think it's perfect for you to lead such a dry appearance with a cutie."

Of course Xie Chen was not happy after hearing this, and quickly said, "She didn't come to Toronto alone, she came with her good friend Zhang Junning. I can invite them both at the same time, and I think she won't refuse."

"Who? Zhang Junning? Wow, is she here too? She is my goddess!" The manager who was originally depressed suddenly had his eyes bright and became excited.

Xie Chen gave the agent a look of contempt, and asked back: "Isn't she cute? Is her figure very hot?"

The manager blushed and was ashamed, and quickly changed the topic: "Since we have these two beauties with amazing temperament, I think it is necessary to invite another person."

"Who?"

"Taylor Swift."
