Super all-around point guard

Chapter 660 Showdown with George's Superstar!

The Staples Center was in a carnival. They couldn't remember the last time they saw a lore opponent at home. They thought that Xie Chen would complete this attack by himself, but they didn't expect Xie Chen to hand over such an important attack to the rookie Ingram, and they didn't expect Ingram to make the first NBA lore without panic and hit this goal!
Everything was wonderful, and the faces of the Lakers fans were full of satisfied smiles.

When Ingram shot the killer shot, his mind went blank. Fortunately, Xie Chen attracted most of the defensive players, making it easier for Ingram to shoot. Otherwise, Ingram was really not sure of making the shot. Even in such a defensive situation, Ingram still didn’t know whether he could withstand the pressure and make the shot. He didn’t have any confidence in himself, so when he saw the basketball hit the net, Ingram jumped up excitedly on the court.

"Win! We won! I hit this ball!" Ingram shouted excitedly. He hit the lore in the third game of his career, and the opponent was a strong team. The joy was indescribable. He knew that all of this was due to Xie Chen. Without Xie Chen's help, he could not have accomplished this feat, so Ingram rushed to Xie Chen immediately.

The rest of the Lakers also jumped towards Xie Chen excitedly. It was really uncomfortable to be surrounded by so many big men. Xie Chen was used to the lore, and he was a little numb to this kind of goal, and this ball was not a life-and-death ball for the Lakers. If the Lakers were one point behind and Ingram hit the ball, maybe Xie Chen would be very excited.

"Hey, it's Ingram who is the killer, why are you all jumping on me?" Xie Chen couldn't help but push his teammates away and complained.

Seeing the Lakers players celebrating happily on the court, the Clippers members were all demoralized and listless. This was their first defeat in the new season. They didn't expect that the loss was to the Lakers. This made them a little hard to accept for a while. In their hearts, they would ask themselves, why did the Lakers win them?

Ingram and others rushed all the way to the locker room excitedly. Everyone came to the locker room, and the carnival continued. Although Ingram, a rookie, just joined the Lakers, he got along well with the teammates, including Nick Young and Clarkson.

"Brandon, you're so awesome. You made a lore in the third game in the NBA. I didn't even know what a lore felt like in the third game." Nick Young gave Ingram a high-five excitedly.

Ingram took off his jersey, feeling sweaty, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for thanking me for creating such a good opportunity, I wouldn't have succeeded in the first lore. Thank you, boss."

Xie Chen smiled and said nothing. It was quite satisfying to quietly watch his teammates excited.

Knicks also walked towards Xie Chen and asked, "How is it? I did a good job with Larry Nance's lobs today, right? Have we already snatched the 'City of Lobs'?"

Xie Chen didn't expect Nick Young to know him so well. About snatching the Clippers' "Lob City", Xie Chen didn't discuss with anyone, and he didn't tell them before the game that there would be more lobs in this game, but Nick Young could guess what Xie Chen was thinking.

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Yes, your lob cooperation is very exciting, no less than the cooperation between me and Brandon. We not only won the ball today, but also won very beautifully. Since you know me so well, I believe that our cooperation in the future will embarrass many opponents."

"Hahaha, that's a must! I'm going to tweet and announce that Lob City now belongs to the Lakers!" Nick Young laughed twice. He is looking forward to the future cooperation with Xie Chen more and more. Today is just the beginning, and the two have not cooperated directly.

Luke Walton saw the players so happy, and he couldn't bear to disturb him. The feeling of winning a strong team is different from winning a weak team. This kind of huge sense of accomplishment is enjoyable.

After a pause, Luke Walton said to everyone: "Guys, we have won three consecutive victories. We have a very good start to the new season. This is great. I believe many people will be surprised that we can achieve such an opening result, including ourselves. After this game against the Clippers, I think everyone will realize one thing, that is, our Lakers are also a strong team now!"

The Lakers are also a strong team!

Wharton's words are deeply engraved in the minds of every Lakers player. When Xie Chen asked all Lakers players to prepare for the playoffs from now on, everyone thought that Xie Chen's goal was too high. But now, they can even beat the Clippers, which has proved that they are qualified to break through in the West!

After these three games, Clarkson also had to admit that Xie Chen's strength alone is enough to make a team undergo a qualitative change. At this time, he couldn't help but say to Xie Chen: "I will train hard and fulfill your requirements. I will also practice long passes."

Xie Chen's efforts in the last quarter were not in vain. After winning against the Clippers, the Lakers' players really gained confidence. Xie Chen looked at the crowd and said to everyone: "Now we can't relax. We must try to make this winning streak last as long as possible. The next game is against the Pacers, and the next game is against the Hornets and Suns. In the seventh game, our opponent is the Golden State Warriors, the toughest team in the league. Before meeting the Warriors, I don't want the Lakers to lose any games!"

……

The seventh game of the Lakers is to play against the Warriors. For Xie Chen and the Lakers, the duel is a bit too early. The Lakers lineup has not been adjusted well, and Xie Chen has not replicated any new abilities. Fortunately, the Warriors will need time to adjust after Durant.

The Indiana Pacers did not start very well, with one win and two losses. This time they will face the Los Angeles Lakers at home, and they will do their best to win this victory.

As long as the Pacers have a healthy Paul George, the Pacers are a team that should not be underestimated. After experiencing an accidental injury, Paul George’s performance after his comeback is amazing, scoring new highs, 19 points in a single quarter, 48+10 in a single game, or 7 steals in a single game, as well as those signature windmill dunks and 360-degree swivel dunks... This looks even more terrifying than before the injury.

In addition to Paul George, the Pacers have new players such as Al Jefferson, Thaddeus Young, Jeff Teague, and Brooks. Larry Bird is also doing his best to help Paul George and try his best to build the Pacers into a championship-winning team.

The entire Lakers flew to Indiana on a special plane. This was Xie Chen's first return to the East to play in the new season. For him, an "old Eastern player", he was a little emotional. He had been in the Eastern Conference for the past two seasons, and he was most familiar with these teams and opponents in the Eastern Conference.

After Xie Chen came to Indiana, Paul George called Xie Chen and told him that after the game, George held a party at home and invited Xie Chen to attend.

The relationship between George and Xie Chen is pretty good now. When the two first met, George had just come back and Xie Chen had just made a name for himself. At that time, George was still very unconvinced by Xie Chen. Slowly, watching Xie Chen set records and win championships again and again, George had to admire Xie Chen. After that, George enjoyed every time the two faced off.

At the Rio Olympic Games in Brazil, after George witnessed how Xie Chen defeated professional track and field athletes and professional swimmers, George's admiration for Xie Chen reached the highest level. In fact, George asked Xie Chen for dinner and parties. The main purpose is to see Xie Chen swim again.

Came to the familiar arena, the fans here are no strangers to Xie Chen, some even cheered for Xie Chen.

Paul George was also very happy to see Xie Chen, and said to Xie Chen: "Hey, buddy, welcome to play in the East! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for leaving. In this way, our Pacers will have a greater chance of advancing to the finals."

Xie Chen smiled: "Don't think that if you invite me to the party, I will let this game go. We are winning streak, and I will not lose until I meet the Warriors."

Paul George laughed and said: "You are still so competitive, don't worry, a party is a party, and I will treat you as an opponent as soon as the game starts, and I will try my best to beat you."

At the beginning of the game, Xie Chen made two consecutive three-pointers on the head of the new Pacers point guard Jeff Teague, which made Teague and the new Pacers coach McMillan a little bit at a loss.

Jeff Teague is not tall, only 188cm, but his jumping and explosive power are not bad. He often staged violent dunks, but he often dunked, and finally one dunked into the basket, and it was a domineering dunk.

Xie Chen shot in front of Teague very easily, Teague was a little unconvinced, what happened to Xie Chen, and there was no disagreement, how can you say that it is an indiscriminate shot?
Teague couldn't help but asked Xie Chen: "Dude, I don't seem to have messed with you? Why did you shoot me two three-pointers in a row? You are not in line with the basic routine!"

Xie Chen didn't give Teague a good look: "In the past two seasons, I have been counting on your Hawks to beat the Cavaliers in the playoffs. For this reason, I deliberately let you score and lose to you, but you have let me down."

Teague was a little surprised, and only then did he realize that it was Xie Chen who deliberately lost to them when he won those two games with the Eagles!

Teague said helplessly: "If possible, we also want to win the Cavaliers. There is really a gap in the strength of the team, but this year I will partner with Paul George, and we may be able to stop LeBron!"

Xie Chen had a helpless expression. When you were in the Eastern Conference for the previous two seasons, you had no confidence. Now that Xie Chen has left the Eastern Conference to go to the Western Conference, you are confident!

The main players of the Pacers have good personal strengths, and they should not be underestimated. At least the Lakers can't take advantage of them with conventional play, especially Paul George's superstar role is even more prominent.

George scored consecutively, and the Lakers had no players who could limit him, especially when George singled Ingram. Not only did he score easily, but George also played some tricks to tease Ingram. Fortunately, after Ingram had accumulated confidence in the first three games, he was not kept under pressure by George.

Paul George also had a new understanding of Ingram, and couldn't help but said to Xie Chen: "Your rookie looks good. His movement of scoring a goal just now is exactly the same as the movement of hitting him before. This kid can respond to me in my way. No wonder you cultivated him so much. You gave him the chance to kill him in the last game."

Xie Chen was also very happy when he heard his opponent praise the younger brother he was cultivating with all his heart: "If he can reach your level in the future, my training for him today will not be in vain."

George looked at Xie Chen and smiled. He suddenly felt that Xie Chen was like a veteran who had been in the league for many years, just like Kobe who was about to retire before, to cultivate the team's future stars, but Xie Chen is still at the peak.

In the third quarter, the two superstars who were at the top at the same time finally launched a personal duel. Xie Chen scored consecutive shots and dunks, and George also scored consecutive shots and dunks. It became an All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!

"My God...Paul George just completed a 360-degree dunk with a steal, and Xie immediately responded with the same dunk. Does this mean we should score?"

"It's really incomprehensible that there are spare seats in the arena for such an exciting game! Frankly speaking, in the current league, there are few players who can compare shooting to dribbling to scoring than dunking on the court with an all-around player like Xie. Except for Paul George, few can do it. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are a bit worse in dunking. LeBron James' shooting is a shortcoming. Perhaps Westbrook will be the only candidate other than Paul George."

The fact is true. There are really not many people in the league who can compare and respond to Xie Chen in all aspects. Paul George is very strong in shooting and dunking, and he is also very good at stealing tonight. The game between the two made the audience very enjoyable.

After responding to Xie Chen's three-pointer again, Paul George's score has broken through 35 points, and Xie Chen is only two points away from breaking the 30-point mark. Xie Chen is enjoying the current duel with George, but after he scores next time, he must first face the challenge of the legendary Pacers!
