Super all-around point guard

Chapter 474: Helping Teammates in the Rebounding Teaching Competition!
There are a lot of spectators in the Target Center arena tonight. Not every game will attract so many spectators. As far as their team is concerned, that is, when Kobe’s Lakers, Xie Chen’s Knicks and Love James’ Cavaliers visit, so many people come to watch. Of course, watching Love is mainly to boo him.

Kobe retired this season, so any arena he visits will attract a large number of fans. This shows how attractive and influential Xie Chen is. Xie Chen is not only a superstar, but the most important thing is that Xie Chen often puts on jaw-dropping performances in games, such as the death button in the last game. Although Timberwolves fans do not want Xie Chen to insult any Timberwolves player, but if such a performance is destined to be staged at the Target Center, they have no reason not to come and see it.

Xie Chen, Wiggins, Zach Lavin, Anthony, and Derek Williams are all good dunkers, and the main players of the two teams are the younger generation. This game is destined to be full of passion.

As soon as the game started, the three giants, Xie Chen, Anthony, and Porzingis, succeeded one after another and gained a score advantage. Who is the strong team and who is the weak team was fully reflected at the beginning. The Knicks' average conceded points per game is also one of the least in the league. It shows how terrible the defense is.

This game is a contest between the best players of the 14th and 15th seasons, so Anthony kind of means to help his teammates Xie Chen and Porzingis, and he takes fewer shots. Xie Chen also misses the duel with Wiggins last season, so he took the initiative to challenge him.

It happened that Wiggins was guarding Xie Chen. Xie Chen had no reason to pass the ball or retreat. He paused with the ball for a while, quickly changed direction to the left, threw away Wiggins, and rushed inside.

Actually, for this ball, Xie Chen wanted to play a floater that Wade often played. He didn't think about rushing in for a dunk or anything. However, he never expected that Xie Chen had just broken through Wiggins.

Xie Chen easily hit the throw without any interference, but after the shot, he glanced at Downs.

What do you mean hide me?
Seeing Anthony's faint smirk, Xie Chen finally understood what was going on.

"It turns out that Downs is afraid of being dunked by me!" Xie Chen also laughed when he thought of this. At that time, Xie Chen's speed had already increased. Downs must have been afraid that Xie Chen would jump up and fly dunks head-on. Everyone knew that Xie Chen had just exposed his dunk ability and needed to vent. It would be miserable if he was as unlucky as Bargnani, so Downs subconsciously avoided.

The audience at the scene also discovered this.

"How could Karl Downs do this? He is the heir to the best player! Facing the strongest player in the league, don't you have the courage to confront Xie?"

"Man, it's easy to say. If you try it, you'll want to repeat Bargnani's tragedy? Bargnani's name and posters have spread all over the world. Even his beautiful girlfriend broke up with him when they heard about it. Downs is still young. You don't want the girl who originally wanted to date him to give up on him because of such a thing, right?"

"Hey, are you talking too seriously? It's just a defense. As for this?"

Regarding Downs' actions, some expressed understanding, while others found it unacceptable. The only thing that was recognized was that Xie Chen was too strong, and he was capable of humiliating Downs.

Xie Chen smiled and walked back to the backcourt. This feeling of making his opponent fear him is really cool. It seems that Bargnani's dunk was not in vain, and the opponent who is afraid of him must not only be Towns of the Timberwolves, but also other teams. In this way, few of Xie Chen's dunks will dare to stop him in the future.

But don't think that Downs is an idiot who has no courage or ability to avoid Xie Chen. If you underestimate him because of this, you are completely wrong. He immediately proved his ability.

After the pick-and-roll, Wiggins handed the ball to Towns, who was running down. Towns immediately turned on the speed at the free throw line, holding the ball with his big right hand, and even made a Rondo-style fake pass layup, completing the layup!

"This layup is quite handsome, this guy can hit it so easily." Xie Chen couldn't help but praise.

Xie Chen also naturally knows Downs' ability. If he hadn't deliberately helped Porzingis, then the best rookie of the season would definitely belong to Downs. Porzingis would not pose much threat to Downs at all.

Downs was expressionless. He knew that he was the protagonist on stage tonight, and he couldn’t lose. He suddenly remembered Christmas Eve in the fourth grade. His poor father said to Downs apologetically, “I can’t afford any Christmas presents.” But in the end, Downs still received the most precious gift in his life, because after saving money for a few months, Downs’ father built him a basketball court in the backyard.

LeBron James, Allen Iverson, including Xie Chen, everyone has a basketball-related story, can appear on the same stage, in addition to talent and ability, the most important thing is love, love will make people feel tired.

Towns overwhelmed the Knicks inside and grabbed the rebound.

Wiggins hit the iron with a jumper, Towns jumped up, and made a tip-up the moment he grabbed the rebound.

In singles against Porzingis, Porzingis was eager to block the opponent, but each time he was a little slower, but Towns grabbed two rebounds in a row, finally squeezed Porzingis away, and dunked with both hands!

Towns' height and strength, coupled with his vitality at this age, are indeed scary. Not long after he started playing, Porzingis has already lost a lot to Downs in rebounding.

You know, Xie Chen promised Porzingis to help him before the game. Naturally, Xie Chen can't count his words. Porzingis knows how to help when scoring, but he doesn't know how to help with rebounds?
Veteran KG Garnett suddenly got a good offensive opportunity and was about to make a low-handed layup, but he didn't realize that Xie Chen was hiding on him. Xie Chen quickly stepped forward and flew a big block from behind, but this time the block was skillfully hit on the backboard. After rebounding, it happened to be right in front of Porzingis. Porzingis quickly got a rebound.

If everyone can't see Xie Chen's purpose for this "assist and rebound", then the next "assist" is too obvious.

It was a steal from Porzingis. He was just outside the three-point line. According to his past, with his ball control and good speed, he must have rushed to dunk like a guard. Of course he wanted to do the same this time. However, Xie Chen suddenly ran out from behind him to ask for the ball, which shocked everyone.

"Xie, what is this for? How can he run faster than the Timberwolves players? Porzingis has no defenders in front of him. Why do you want to fight with Porzingis? Isn't he always assisting that kid to score?"

"Obviously Xie wants to take this opportunity to perform a slam dunk, this showy guy! But isn't that why I bought tickets to watch?"

Seeing Xie Chen behind him asking for the ball, Porzingis was stunned for a moment. In the past, Xie Chen would allow him to come by himself for such an opportunity.

But the boss has spoken, how dare Porzingis refuse?Quickly passed the ball to Xie Chen, and then slowed down, but after Xie Chen got the ball, he didn't go straight to the basket, but gave Porzingis a look, and Porzingis understood Xie Chen's intention!

This is letting yourself grab a rebound!

Then Xie Chen stopped suddenly at the free throw line and got up to shoot a jumper.

"What? He actually chose to shoot?"

All the audience found it inconceivable. With Xie Chen's character, it is absolutely impossible to shoot without dunking. Even if he doesn't dunk, it should be a layup, right?When Xie Chen stopped the ball, some people thought that Xie Chen was playing some difficult moves.

Then, the basketball bounced out of the frame accurately, Porzingis got the rebound, and finally dunked.

"This is..." There was a burst of discussion at the scene.

After a while, someone yelled loudly: "I see, they are rebounding!"

"Shameless! It's shameless! I beg the league to punish such players for such blatant brushing of statistics!"

The Timberwolves fans are going crazy. If Xie Chen plays a fancy dunk, and Xie Chen dunks well, everyone will see it too. What the hell is the stats, and they are still helping Porzingis. This is obviously aimed at Towns!
"Uh..." Downs swallowed when he saw this scene, and then looked at Wiggins with a begging look.

Wiggins patted Downs on the shoulder and said, "Sorry, brother, I can't help you in this way."

Even Porzingis was embarrassed and said to Xie Chen, "Boss, isn't this good?"

Xie Chen said to him: "Ten years later, when people compare your data, no one will specifically mark which rebound was used. You should pass it to me again just now, and I will assist you to score another one."

"Uh..." Porzingis never expected that the strongest player in the league would also be the most exploitable player in the league.

Don't think that Xie Chen is the only one who is scheming. Garnett, the wolf king over there, has not been a vegetarian in the NBA for 20 years. No matter how he plays, he is an absolute master.

Garnett said to Towns: "I'll help you."

After hearing this, Towns was as puzzled as Porzingis before the game. How can Garnett help himself?Block shots through defense, or miss shots on purpose?
After a while, Anthony appeared in the right corner. Xie Chen passed the ball, and Anthony immediately caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. At this time, there were four Timberwolves players standing under the basket, and only one Lopez was squeezed out.

If the ball is missed, then the rebound must belong to the Timberwolves, there is no suspense.

Then, Anthony missed the shot, and the other Knicks players saw the four Timberwolves players standing under the basket, and quickly retreated back to the defense.

The basketball bounced in Garnett's direction. Garnett didn't need to jump at all, he could catch it with his arms outstretched. However, when the ball bounced, Gane specifically raised his hand. He didn't even look at it.

This startled everyone again, what is Garnett doing?Are your old eyes dim?Ready to attack the frontcourt before you get the ball?

Garnett must have his reasons for doing this. The reason why he did this is because Karl Downs is standing on his right.

The basketball is not high, not far, and very slow. Garnett does not need to worry about the ball going out of bounds in an instant, so when Garnett leaves, Karl Towns is the closest to the basketball. This is the rebound opportunity that Garnett specially reserved for Towns.

Garnett walked past Towns, and Towns was stunned for a moment. Seeing that there was only a basketball left in front of him, he immediately became happy, took a big stride, and easily pocketed the rebound that took no effort, adding another rebound.

"Hahaha, KG is too good at playing. In terms of this kind of crooked way, only KG can compare with Shef."

"I'm really glad that KG is back. Otherwise, I would definitely be bullied to death by Xie today. It's okay to be stronger than us, and he is better than us in playing tricks and scheming. How can this be tolerated!"

During the next timeout, Garnett walked up to Xie Chen and said, "How is it? Kid, the rebounding I 'assisted' Towns just now is not worse than yours, right? You were booed by our fans at the scene. I'm not as stupid and obvious as yours. You can't compare to me."

Xie Chen knew Garnett's trash talking would be inevitable, and said with a smile, "I also thought of this method, but there was no such opportunity just now."

This game has completely turned into a "teaching game of assisting teammates to collect rebounds". Xie Chen and Garnett, two cunning old men, are using various unexpected ways to help their teammates get rebounds.

Soon, with the help of teammates, both Porzingis and Towns' rebounds were in double figures.

And Xie Chen's assists are only one short, which is in double figures.

But this time...

"Hey, boy, why don't you help that soft-ass rookie rebound? Are you unable to think of a move?"

"Do you think that the combination of you and Cameron can really win the championship? Don't think about it, the two of you can't even pass the first round of the playoffs."

"I heard that you flew over Bargnani's head. Do you think you are amazing? Do you know? Kid, Vince Carter did this more than ten years ago, and he was much better than you. I called Vince to talk about it. Guess what he said? He said he could fly over the head of a soft guy like Bargnani with his eyes closed!"

"..."

He talked endlessly, and whenever he had the chance, Garnett would spout trash talk at Xie Chen. Xie Chen originally wanted to assist in the Legendary Challenge, but now that he thought about it, there was an [-]% chance that he would meet Garnett again in the Legendary Challenge. Xie Chen didn't want his ears to suffer anymore, so he gave up assists.
