Super all-around point guard

Chapter 656 "Take Down" O'Neill!

Last season, Xie Chen was taken aback when he scored more than 30 points in an away game and encountered the Legend Challenge for the first time. This great change directly increased the difficulty for Xie Chen to win the championship. Without the Legend Team Challenge, Xie Chen would win the championship.

However, it is precisely because of playing so many Legendary Challenges and playing against so many great stars in the past that a rookie who has just entered the league has grown rapidly. Many people think that Xie Chen's growth has exceeded expectations. The reason is here, because Xie Chen has played more games than others, and every game is against the strongest opponent.

This time, Xie Chen didn't know if the system would arrange another "great change" for him. For example, upgrading the opponent to the strongest five-man team in team history and combining the most talented players from all eras of the team together would make it even more difficult. The system has great powers, and Xie Chen doesn't doubt that there are things it can't do.

The scene changed. Xie Chen looked around on the court, and the guys on the opposite side were all players he was familiar with.

Steve Nash, Stoudemire, Sean Marion, Barbosa, Grant Hill, O'Neal, Lagabel, Diaw...

Without Charles Barkley, it proves that the Legend Challenge is still the previous rule. If it is as Xie Chen guessed, then Barkley, the guy who almost won the championship for the Suns, will definitely appear.

O'Neal should have been the Suns in 07 and 08, and he was transferred to the Cavaliers before staying in this team for too long. Xie Chen still has a good understanding of the Suns in this period.

Last season, it was Xie Chen who brought Anthony and the others to participate in the Challenger League. This season, it was Ingram and Luol Deng. Xie Chen still couldn't help testing the reactions of these people, and they were all systemized.

Without copying tasks, Xie Chen’s biggest task in this game is to train his ability to play more than one hit. He has been practicing this during the offseason. Now he has been able to not panic when he is double-teamed, and he can always pay attention to the ball not being intercepted. It has to be able to hit shots over the heads of two people.

If you want to attract the double team of the legendary Suns, you must first score consecutively, and you must be a little arrogant.For Xie Chen, this is not a difficult task.

Xie Chen began to rush to the basket crazily, using various scoring methods to score, but this also aroused O'Neal's disgust. When Xie Chen scored the 20th point, O'Neal said to Xie Chen: "Boy, you are too crazy!"

Xie Chen replied to O'Neill: "Each to each other."

At his peak, O'Neal was at the basket, but he was never merciful to his opponents.

Now that O'Neal is no longer at his peak, he can no longer rely on his personal ability to fight against Xie Chen, but these teammates are still very strong. Stoudemire averaged 25+9 per game this year, Nash 17+11, and Marion and Barbosa both averaged 16 points per game. The Suns' offense has always been at the top of the league in recent years.

Gradually, the double-team defense that Xie Chen wanted finally came. Facing two people blocking the shot at the same time, Xie Chen still shot resolutely, and still made a hit!

This kind of personal heroism reminded O'Neal of his former teammate Kobe. At this time, O'Neal was still jealous of Kobe. Seeing Xie Chen's similar style of play, O'Neal was even more dissatisfied with Xie Chen. O'Neal came over and spat some trash talk with Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was not happy. He obviously had O'Neill's dunk ability, but he didn't use it on him.

Xie Chen said: "Don't tell me these things, I can put you down at any time!"

O'Neill felt that he succeeded in provoking, and said with a smile: "Put me down? Is that right? I don't believe it. Next time you come to the basket, try it. I'll wait for you!"

O'Neill was ready to wait for Xie Chen to rush in again, and he would slam him to the ground. Anyway, it would be difficult to win this game, and he didn't care if he was called a technical foul.

Xie Chen originally thought of using O'Neal's ability to deal with O'Neal, but at this time, he thought of a better way to "put down" O'Neal.

If O'Neal's dunk ability was used to compete with O'Neal, even if O'Neal fell, Xie Chen would not be able to take advantage of it, and would definitely fall along with him. Xie Chen thought of this method, and he would not have to be so embarrassed. Only O'Neal fell, and he could also adjust the atmosphere of the scene, because this would be a comedy performance.

Xie Chen still remembers the scene of O’Neal saving the ball when he was in the Suns, because O’Neal was huge in weight, and when saving the ball, he often jumped to the players’ bench and the audience to let them catch him.

Xie Chen slowly looked for an opportunity. He wanted to let O'Neill feel the feeling of being "disgusted" by his teammates. Finally, Xie Chen quickly broke through, got rid of the defense and entered the inside line. O'Neill had been waiting for a long time, and he couldn't wait to put Xie Chen on the ground!

"Come on, kid!" O'Neal stared at Xie Chen viciously.

However, when Xie Chen rushed to the basket at high speed, he did not choose to take off, but stopped suddenly.

"He gave up dunking?" O'Neill was stunned for a moment, very upset, did Xie Chen feel fear because of his too much coercion?The opportunity that should have been Jiao Zuoren disappeared just like that. It seems that being too aggressive is not a good thing at all!
Xie Chen stopped in front of O'Neill. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior hurts the morale of one's side, because it proves that you dare not face your opponent. O'Neill smiled contemptuously at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen ignored it. At this time, he began to dribble the ball under his crotch non-stop, and retreated while dribbling. Because it was O'Neal who was defending Xie Chen now, Xie Chen wanted to lure O'Neal out.

O'Neal was really fooled, because he already had a psychological advantage, that is, Xie Chen was afraid of him and didn't dare to play inside, so he could only obediently go outside, but even if it was a shot, O'Neal would not give Xie Chen another chance. Isn't it just a fadeaway jump shot? Michael Jordan has experienced it, so he is still afraid of you?

O'Neal was gradually lured out by Xie Chen step by step.

At this time, Xie Chen suddenly made a forward stance, giving the impression that he was going to break through again, use his speed advantage to pass O'Neill, and then go inside again.

When Xie Chen's figure moved, O'Neal felt the same way.

However, what O'Neill didn't expect was that Xie Chen chose to use the human ball to pass the ball. What O'Neill didn't expect was that Xie Chen messed up the human ball distribution. The ball didn't pass through O'Neill's crotch, but hit O'Neill's thigh straight!

With Xie Chen's ability to handle the ball, it is naturally impossible to do things like passing the ball. He deliberately made a mistake and hit the ball on O'Neill's thigh. Xie Chen's acting is also very good. He has already left O'Neill's sight, and deliberately pretended not to know what was going on.

"He made a mistake!" O'Neill was overjoyed, but the ball was very powerful and bounced off his thigh very quickly. O'Neill **** wants to subdue Xie Chen, so he must save the ball!

The ball, ran to the legendary Suns bench.

When Dior, Lagabel and others saw that O'Neill was coming, they were all shocked. They immediately got up, those who sat on the left ran to the left, and those who sat on the right ran to the right. The head coach and assistant coaches all quickly evacuated from the impending danger scene at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, the Sun Bench, which was originally full, became empty!
Then, O'Neill took the ball that he had just reached by flying out, and slammed it heavily on the hard chair!No teammate is willing to catch him with flesh and blood!

"ouch!" O'Neill couldn't help but screamed in pain.

"Hahaha." Xie Chen couldn't help laughing. He used to watch GIFs circulating on the Internet, but this time he finally saw a live performance. The Suns really didn't pick up O'Neal. It's so heartless, I like it!

This scene also made many fans and audience couldn't help laughing. Even Nash and Stoudemire had helpless expressions on their faces, and Stoudemire laughed secretly. What is certain is that even if Stoudemire was sitting there just now, he would definitely avoid it like everyone else.

We sincerely admire O'Neill's courage and dedication to save the ball, but with such a big body, no matter who hits it, it will be a disaster, so it's better to do less.

Xie Chen stepped forward, faced the miserable O'Neill, and said, "I said I would put you down, do you believe me now?"

Only then did O'Neill realize that this was actually a trap designed by Xie Chen!It was embarrassing for him to save the ball without his teammates willing to catch him. Now that he knew the truth, he became even more furious and wanted to grab Xie Chen with both hands, but Xie Chen used Karl Malone's power to break it.

O'Neill couldn't take advantage of Xie Chen.

O'Neal suffered both physical and mental injuries. After this save, he has been resting. Xie Chen continued to train his one-to-many scoring ability on the court.

Since the success rate was not high, and the more Xie Chen didn't pass the ball, the more his opponents knew how to defend. As a result, the score was gradually led by the legendary Suns.

In the fourth quarter, Xie Chen thought about whether to continue playing like this, or use a more reasonable style of play to win this victory.

The difference between winning and losing lies in whether Xie Chen will lose his systematic ability, because the next opponent is the Suns team at the bottom of the Western Conference.

In the end, Xie Chen lost to the Legendary Suns and temporarily lost his system ability for 24 hours.

If it was Xie Chen last season, after losing his system ability, he would still have a certain degree of panic and lack of confidence, but now, even if he lost his system ability, Xie Chen still has confidence in the game.

Since the scoring ability is greatly reduced, Xie Chen will pass more assists and do a good job as a traditional point guard. In addition, the opponent does not know what ability Xie Chen has lost, and the defense against him is still so strong. This allows Xie Chen to better attract defenses and complete assists.

Xie Chen was the league's assist leader last season, and he really wants to win it again this season. It would be best to win the scoring leader, assists leader, and steals leader together. It would be so enjoyable!
Becoming an all-around star has always been Xie Chen’s goal and ideal, and such a feat has never been achieved before in NBA history. When Kevin Garnett was in the Timberwolves, in the 02-03 season, he averaged 23 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.6 blocks.

When Xie Chen had 13 assists, the current Suns coach Watson fell into deep thinking...

"Why did you suddenly change to assists?" Watson rubbed his chin, a little confused by Xie Chen. Now the score is getting bigger and bigger, and there is not much time left in the game. There is almost no possibility for the Suns to come back.

Lakers coach Luke Walton felt a lot more at ease. Seeing that the team was about to win two consecutive victories, he was also happy.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns with a big score of 26 points and achieved two consecutive victories since the start of the game. This victory also made people realize that the Lakers are no longer the same level team as the Suns last season. The current strength of the Lakers can be called a strong team!

Watson couldn't help being jealous that the Lakers climbed up from the bottom so quickly. When saying goodbye to Xie Chen, he said, "Congratulations on your two-game winning streak. The Los Angeles Lakers are indeed a brand new team, but I really want to ask why you didn't attack all of a sudden?"

Xie Chen scored 16 assists in this game, and scored more than 50 points in the last game. There are amazing statistics in every game. I don’t know how long it will take for these two statistics to be broken by others. Xie Chen didn’t know how to answer. He said casually: "I was a little sleepy in the second half."

"Sleepy..." Coach Watson was at a loss. Could this be a reason for not attacking?
The Lakers have won two consecutive victories, ranking first in the Western Conference, but there are many teams with two consecutive victories like the Lakers. The Golden State Warriors are one of them.

The Lakers winning streak did not arouse much attention and expectation from everyone, because everyone felt that after encountering a strong team, the Lakers' record would definitely decline.

But the Warriors are different. Everyone is paying attention to the Warriors and whether they can break the 73 wins of last season!
