Super all-around point guard

Chapter 498 It's time for a big victory!

The Raptors and the Cavaliers tried their best to lose. In the end, the Raptors were unlucky and made too many shots, which led to the victory over the Cavaliers and continued to sit on the fire pit of No. [-] in the East.

By April, all the playoff teams began to pay more attention to the health of their players, especially the teams that had already won the playoff tickets. Although the Knicks still seemed to be in a dangerous zone, they were still hovering at No.8.

No one is worried that the Knicks will not make the playoffs.

The Celtics and Hornets are struggling. The Celtics are better. They are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference and ahead of the Knicks.

The Hornets are ranked behind the New York Knicks. They have the best chance of pushing the Knicks out. However, no one believes that they can do it.
The Knicks soon ushered in a new game, the Pacers ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. They really want to win and maintain the sixth ranking. If this is the case, then the first round is to play the Bulls. For them, it is also a good choice.

At Madison Square Garden, before the game started, Paul George, who was in a hot state recently, took the initiative to chat with Xie Chen: "What do you think happened to the Cavaliers team recently? Why has it been losing streak? If we continue to lose like this, we should fall to the third place in the Eastern Conference. We were defeated by you in the first round of the playoffs last year. This year we managed to be the eighth. I don't want to meet the strongest team in the Eastern Conference in the first round."

Unexpectedly, all the teams were worried about the matchup in the playoffs. Xie Chen couldn't help laughing when he thought that everyone in the Eastern Conference was in chaos because of his plan: "Paul George, you think too much. It's not certain whether you can stay in the sixth position. The Celtics don't want to meet the Cavaliers even more than you. Maybe they will replace you in the last few days. Anyway, they will definitely not be able to compete with me in the eighth position."

Paul George also wondered: "You guy, everyone else wants to rank as high as possible, and you actually stick to the eighth. Fortunately, the Cavaliers recently fell to second. Could it be because there is no hope of competing for the MVP, so you don't want to win? Well, man, speaking of it, I feel wronged for you. You played better this season than last season, and you are more selfless. It's just that the record of the Warriors is so good. They may break the Bulls' 72-10 record. You lost to Stephen Curry, It’s also impossible.”

After the regular season is over, it is time to select the MVP of this season. MVP has always been defined as "the best player on the best team". If you say who is the best player in the league, 10 out of 7 people say it is Xie Chen, 2 say it is Curry, and 1 says it is James.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, it will be difficult for Xie Chen to compete with Stephen Curry for the most valuable player in the regular season this season.After all, it is a bit unreasonable to award the MVP to a team that is the eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Paul George was very dissatisfied with Xie Chen last season, because the team was recuperating, and Xie Chen came out when George was absent. A series of playoffs let George know how good Xie Chen is. Too many games, the Knicks lost more games during the suspension than the Golden State Warriors in the entire season, how can they compete with others?

However, Xie Chen is very open to this point. This year's Golden State Warriors is a very special team that is destined to be recorded in history. Even if Xie Chen is not suspended, with the current lineup of the Knicks, it is impossible to compete with the Warriors for the best record. At most, they can get second and third in the Eastern Conference.

Last year's MVP should have belonged to Stephen Curry, and this season he should be returned. Xie Chen only cares about the ownership of the championship.

It can be seen that the Pacers are trying their best to win this game. These guys fought very fiercely, but George's two three-pointers were very biased. Xie Chen remembered that George's three-pointers didn't seem to be so bad this season.

Xie Chen smiled at George and asked, "Could it be that you were worried that we wouldn't make it to the playoffs, so you deliberately sent us a victory? I remember that your three-point shooting level has improved a lot this season. Why are these two shots so empty?"

Paul George smiled and said: "Don't worry, thank you, I will never let you win, although I am indeed a little weak now, as for the reason..."

As Paul George was talking, he suddenly shifted his gaze to the auditorium. Xie Chen was very puzzled. Following George's eyes, he found a blonde woman smiling at them in the VIP seat.

The woman is indeed enchanting. Xie Chen couldn't help but gave Paul George a thumbs up. Niu, it's almost the playoffs and I'm still in the mood to play, and this is still an away game.

Although Paul George looks very decent and dedicated, his private life is very flamboyant, and there is nothing he can do about it. Everyone in this circle is like this. Who doesn't enjoy themselves crazy when they get a big contract?In such a comparison, Xie Chen's marriage and stability at such an early age is really unusual.

Xie Chen also knew about Paul George's scandal, and asked with a smile, "Is she the woman from the Miami nightclub?"

Paul George once had an affair with a prostitute who worked in a nightclub in Miami, and he played too indulgently. In the end, that scheming woman became pregnant with Paul George's child. George had no choice but to bid her $100 million to abort the child, but how could this smart woman be able to beat her?

She was not stupid. Paul George had just signed a big contract with the Pacers at the time, and the child he gave birth would definitely be a long-term meal ticket. In the end, although George was very unhappy, the child was born.

After hearing this, George immediately became depressed: "It's not that woman, thank you, your eyesight is too bad."

Xie Chen smiled. Speaking of women, Xie Chen has always wanted to ask what kind of experience it is to fall in love with the precious daughter of Clippers coach Rivers?Xie Chen has a good understanding of Rivers' rough personality. I don't know if his daughter will be gentler.

George also dated Rivers' daughter, but they broke up later.

Speaking of George's most famous scandal, it is dating Kobe's former lover REN Burcia.

As we all know, Kobe is George's idol. The former Pacers coach revealed that George is learning from Kobe every day. George said, "As long as Kobe has done it, I will do it."

Burcia is only 1.5 meters seven, and is 7 years older than George. I don't know how George fell in love with this woman. Perhaps, he really just wanted to imitate Kobe, no matter in any way.

If the Pacers meet the Chicago Bulls in the first round, then George is a very good pawn for Xie Chen. If George breaks out in an all-round way, coupled with the performance of others, it is not impossible to defeat the Bulls.

Therefore, Xie Chen suddenly defended George himself, and immediately caused George to make two turnovers, and was intercepted once by Xie Chen.

George wondered: "You guys are going to start stealing crazy again, aren't you?"

Xie Chen looked very serious: "George, you can't do it in this state."

"What?" George didn't understand what Xie Chen was talking about.

Xie Chen didn't seem to regard George as an opponent at all, but as a teammate: "You are very likely to play the Bulls in the first round. If you are playing the Bulls, that guy Jimmy Butler will mark you personally. This kid's defense is not inferior to mine. Just now, if it was Jimmy Butler, you will still make mistakes. Your recent mistakes are always frequent. This is not a good phenomenon. I am worried about you."

Paul George didn't expect Xie Chen, who was his opponent, to say these words for him. He was moved and ashamed. Indeed, he was not good enough in some aspects. Fortunately, Xie Chen reminded him to pay attention before the playoffs.

In order to make the opponent more confident, Xie Chen took the initiative to carry fruit to the Pacers' lounge during the halftime break. In fact, Xie Chen did the same at the end of the regular season last year. He did it to the Celtics and the Eagles.

Seeing Xie Chen's enthusiasm, the Pacers were all terrified. The scene of being swept by him last season was still vivid in his memory. Why did they become so friendly at this moment?
Paul George thought that Xie Chen did this for his own sake, so he quickly got up and shook hands with Xie Chen: "Thank you for your hospitality, brother, but unfortunately I don't like bananas."

Xie Chen found a chair and sat down. He chatted with everyone he didn't know very well except George. He kept praising each other for playing well. They were simply the strength of the top team in the Eastern Conference. These guys didn't boast too much. Monta Ellis replied: "Did you know? We are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference!"

Xie Chen followed suit with a smile: "I agree very much, but it's a pity that we can't meet in the first round. I really want to meet you in the Eastern Conference finals. I just don't know if you can make it through the Chicago Bulls. I am very optimistic about you. The internal problems of the Bulls team are not small. Jimmy Butler, Rose and the coach have a lot of problems. This is an opportunity for you."

CJ Myers also smiled and said: "Jimmy Butler is an overrated player. Just watch it. If we meet in the playoffs, we will let him show his prototype."

CJ Miles' words were also agreed by others. Since the Pacers have such confidence in the Bulls, it's good. If the Pacers can eliminate the Bulls, then Xie Chen will lose one of the most powerful opponents.

In the end, Xie Chen gave the Pacers a victory.

This is not the last time the two teams have played against each other this season. The last game of the regular season is still played by the two teams.

Paul George and Xie Chen embraced deeply after the game. Apart from saying that they were waiting for Xie Chen in Indiana for the last game, they also asked Xie Chen if he needed a call from the enchanting beauty on the sidelines. Xie Chen declined.

After the game, at night, Phil Jackson and Fisher met Xie Chen and Anthony for a chat.

Phil Jackson said to the two: "I called you here to talk to you about the current record. I know that everyone is not worried about the record, and we did it on purpose. However, what I want you to know is that there are only four games left. We can't guarantee that we will be in the eighth position. We may be squeezed out and not make it to the playoffs. Therefore, in the next three games against the Hornets, 76ers and Raptors, I need you to guarantee a complete victory."

Anthony smiled and said: "Phil, you are too serious. I thought it was something. This is something we will definitely do. The Hornets and the 76ers, two teams that cannot make the playoffs, are no threat to us at all. The Raptors are indeed No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. However, you must know that they are currently trying everything to lose, haha, so we probably can't lose that game."

Fisher couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "I don't think it's a difficult task, but Phil doesn't want any accidents to happen. If one of you suddenly feels unwell, or something, and the others don't perform well, it's possible to lose four games in a row. We can't be squeezed out by others at the last moment."

Xie Chen nodded and said: "Your worries are very reasonable. Although it is not a big problem for us to win all the next four games, no one can say for sure about the future. We will try our best to win every game."

Phil Jackson nodded and smiled: "Hearing what you said, we are relieved. In the next game against the Hornets, let's use all your strengths. We should have a decent victory!"

The Hornets will visit the New York Knicks two days later, and the whole team knows that this will be a tough battle. It is impossible for the Knicks to lose again, and if they lose again, they will not be able to enter the playoffs.

One of the two teams wants to win a big victory, and the other knows that they can't resist. The Knicks are a team with a higher overall strength than the Hornets. It seems that the result of this game is obvious.

But before the game, when Jeremy Lin practiced three-point shooting, he didn't miss a single shot.

"Huh? Why do you feel so good today?" Jeremy Lin stroked his hair, wondering.
