Super all-around point guard

Chapter 678 Victory over Mavericks!
James of the Cavaliers and Durant of the Warriors are very concerned about Xie Chen's every move, but they don't feel threatened by Randall's exposure. How can a player who has never played in the paint teach others to become better players?

The Lakers' next opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, which is also on the road. Xie Chen has been reminded that they can't fight like this every game. Now they have won many games, and it doesn't matter if they lose once in a while. They have to play two teams in consecutive away games, which makes Xie Chen a little tired. He doesn't want to cut 50 or 60 points in the next game. score.

This time, the focus of the Mavericks was not Xie Chen, but Mozgov.

Mozgov also needs to develop new abilities now, and he will take on more scoring tasks. In the playoffs, when Xie Chen is watched very closely, it will be very beneficial if Mozgov can stand up and score. The Lakers specially hired a trainer to improve Mozgov’s speed and other physical functions as much as possible. Mozgov’s talent is not bad, but his body is bad. Fortunately, Mozgov is only 30 years old, not too old.

Mozgov’s inside opponent is Bogut, an old Warriors player that Xie Chen is very familiar with. The Mavericks originally wanted to chase the Heat’s Hassan Whiteside and Batum Conley, but they were unsuccessful. After Durant decided to go to the Warriors, the Mavericks quickly reached a deal with the Warriors and invited Bogut to Dallas.

Although Barnes is very young, only 24 years old, and almost always starts in the league's No. [-] team like the Warriors, Barnes's performance in the finals was extremely poor, which directly affected the Warriors' contract extension with him. Experts from the "Dallas Morning News" said that the most important signing for the Mavericks this summer may be given too much!Barnes is likely to become a garbage contract, Barnes is just an ordinary middle-level player.

Barnes also participated in this American Dream Team. During this period, he has been subject to controversy. After the start of the new season, Barnes has not been able to fully adapt to this completely different team, and his performance is also average. As a result, more people question the garbage contract. Barnes especially wants to prove himself in front of Xie Chen, because Xie Chen is his opponent in the finals. It was Xie Chen who made the Warriors miss the championship, and Barnes also suffered.

In addition to Bogut and Barnes, there is another person who has something to do with the Warriors. That is Seth Curry, newly signed by the Mavericks. Seth Curry is the younger brother of Stephen Curry. The two look very similar, but the status of the two brothers in the NBA is completely different.

In addition, Mavericks star star veteran Dirk Nowitzki also finalized a new contract with the Mavericks. The Mavericks increased the amount to $5000 million for two years. The previous report was $4000 million for two years. I have to say that Cuban is really a good boss.

When I came to the Mavericks’ home stadium, the American Airlines Center Stadium, the Mavericks locker room has always been known for its luxury, and the owner Cuban also built the Mavericks’ home arena in the game "Minecraft".

Cuban is an interesting person, and he is also a guy who is very enthusiastic about basketball. He is also very interested in the superstars in the league. After seeing Xie Chen, he immediately went up to say hello to Xie Chen at home: "I have guessed that you will come to the West. Now we are also opponents in the playoffs. I wish the current ranking is the last one, haha."

Now the Lakers are No. [-] in the West, and the Mavericks are No. [-] in the West. According to the rankings, the two teams will meet in the first round of the playoffs. Nowitzki is old, and Barnes still doesn’t know what he can do.

Faced with Cuban's contempt, Xie Chen was not polite: "I hope to meet you too. It feels really good to end the series in four games."

Xie Chen was able to sweep the No. [-] Raptors in the Eastern Conference last season as the eighth, let alone they are now No. [-]?

Nowitzki is an out-and-out veteran, and he has also entered the last time of his NBA career. At his peak, he was really incomprehensible, but now he is not a big threat to the Lakers. There is also Deron Williams, who used to be a brilliant existence with Chris Paul, and was once considered to be the perfect combination of strength and speed.

After the game started, Harrison Barnes and Bogut became the main force for the Mavericks against the Lakers. Both of them looked at Xie Chen with very hostile eyes, which made Xie Chen very uncomfortable. Do all the old Warriors hate themselves so much?

The Warriors missed the championship twice, both of which were lost to Xie Chen. They had to sign Durant, which directly led to the departure of the two, so Barnes and Bogut are very jealous of Xie Chen, especially since Barnes is now being questioned as a garbage contract. He has to prove his worth in front of Xie Chen.

Barnes scored eight points in the first quarter, and he seemed to have a strong desire to attack. Xie Chen found that the opponent had been looking at him with hostility, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you keep looking at me like this? Is it because I let you miss two championship rings? The Warriors are not your team."

Curry, Thompson, and Green treated Xie Chen like this. Xie Chen can understand that Barnes is just a role player. Even if the Warriors won the championship, he would not have much credit.

Barnes said: "You made me unable to get a big contract in the Warriors. You forced me to leave there."

After hearing this, Xie Chen didn’t expect Barnes to be so attached to the Warriors, but you can’t get a big contract because you didn’t play well and you can’t blame others. Xie Chen knows that this guy’s mental quality is poor, and he is easily affected by emotions, which affects his performance.

"You look down on me?!" Barnes was really furious. This guy's emotional control ability is really average. No wonder he couldn't adjust his state in the finals. The more nervous he was, the worse he performed.

Next, Barnes played even more fiercely. It was okay to break through and make fouls, but he lost his sight when shooting.

Once Xie Chen happened to be defending Barnes, and Xie Chen let Barnes shoot, but he didn't even take off to block the shot!

This is complete contempt for Barnes' abilities!As expected, Barnes' mood was affected. Even if Xie Chen didn't block the shot, Barnes missed the shot!
"Oh my god, Xie didn't take off to block Harrison Barnes, and he didn't even make the shot."

"This is a psychological tactic. He used it against James Harden in the last game against the Rockets."

After Barnes missed the shot, Xie Chen did not forget to continue provoking him: "Look, am I right?"

At this time, Bogut saw that Xie Chen wanted to provoke Barnes on purpose. The two were old teammates. He stepped forward and said to Barnes, "Brother, don't listen to that kid. He is a king of trash talk. Even our former teammate Draymond Green can't compare to him. He wants to provoke you on purpose. Can't you see it?"

Barnes knew Xie Chen's intentions, but he still couldn't control himself from getting angry!

A great player must not only have extremely strong personal abilities, but also have excellent psychological qualities. How can he become a top star if he is so easily influenced by others?

In the game between the Lakers and the Nets in 2012, when there were only 4.8 seconds left in the game, the Lakers led 92 to 90. Kobe walked to the free throw line and was about to take a free throw that might determine the outcome. Nets veteran Gerald Wallace wanted to use trash talk to influence Kobe.

Wallace didn't dare to bet at all, and then Kobe made the key goal firmly.

If it was Barnes, he might be nervous to death, but if it was Kobe, he could still bet with you while chatting and laughing. Kobe didn't believe that he couldn't make a shot, but Barnes didn't believe that he could make a shot.

Xie Chen didn't respond too much to the Mavericks' offense. Tonight, he was more like a qualified traditional point guard, focusing on organizing offenses rather than personal attacks.

Mozgov came to the low post and faced Bogut with his back. Xie Chen immediately passed the ball. The two had trained many times to attack in this position. Mozgov already had many offensive routines in the same position.

This time, after receiving a pass from Xie Chen, Mozgov quickly turned his back, and Bogut was taken aback. What's going on?You played with Mozgov before, haven't you seen him play like this?

Mozgov knew that his speed was not fast enough, so he forced himself to improve his reaction power, but it was impossible to practice well in just two days. The back turn was okay, but the dunk he received afterwards was dunked by Mozgov.

"Hahaha, what the hell is this big man thinking? Why did he suddenly speed up?"

"If this ball can be dunked, it is really a good ball, but unfortunately he is not so flexible."

Xie Chen stepped forward to comfort his teammates and said, "It's okay, keep going, your back turning is getting better and better."

Mozgov also knew that in order to meet Xie Chen's requirements, he had to continue to "fail" like this, and only by doing it constantly could he get better and better.

Afterwards, Mozgov tried many difficult movements, but most of them failed.

The fans at the scene gradually became a little puzzled: "Why is the Lakers' offense so much concentrated on the inside tonight? Do you bully us that the Mavericks don't have an inside defensive player? Bogut is one of the best defenders in the league today!"

It was indeed a very big test for Mozgov to meet Bogut in the first game of his new moves. Bogut is a very difficult guy. Mozgov failed to beat Bogut several times, which also made Bogut feel good. He looked at Mozgov with contempt: "Don't be naive. With me defending, you can't score goals."

Mozgov knew that he couldn't score. The bigger reason was that his skills and shooting hadn't been perfected, not because of Bogut's defense.

In this game, Xie Chen didn't take on so many offenses, and the Mavericks were also very strong. The scores of the two teams were very low. By the end of the fourth quarter, the score hadn't broken 25, and Xie Chen's score was only 30 points.

Mavericks coach Carlisle told the players during the timeout: "The score is very tight now. I guess they will hand over all the last few offenses to Chris Xie. Whether the ball is in his hands or not, you have to watch him. Don't let him score in the way he is familiar with. This guy's shooting percentage is terrible."

In the last few offenses, the Lakers did not let Xie Chen take over the game, but wanted Mozgov to try.

Mozgov got the ball again, but he shot a lot of balls all night but didn't score many goals. With the ball in his hand, he didn't attract the attention of the opponent players. Everyone still pays more attention to Xie Chen who runs without the ball.

After Xie Chen got rid of it and slid to the bottom line, Mozgov immediately moved the ball to the basket with both hands, but Mozgov just made a fake, he didn't intend to pass it to Xie Chen. After using this trick to deceive Bogut, Mozgov immediately jumped up and shot.

In the ball!

"Damn it!" Bogut cursed secretly. He knew that Mozgov had the ability to shoot mid-range shots, but he didn't expect Mozgov to dare to attack by himself at such a critical moment.

"It seems that he was not affected by the bad hand feeling before, but the next attack must be Xie Lai." Carlisle was also a little unexpected, he had no idea that Xie Chen was testing Mozgov.

The Lakers attacked again, and Mozgov received a pass from Xie Chen again, and then turned around and shot!

The ball went in again!

"What?" The Mavericks were a little confused. The two most critical attacks were all made by Mozgov?He decided the game?
"Hahaha, after a whole night of hard work, I finally made the last two shots." Mozgov smiled and stepped forward to give Xie Chen a high-five.

Xie Chen was also very happy: "These two shots are enough to offset all the previous missed shots."

Overall, Mozgov's performance tonight was not good, but fortunately, the opponent's performance was also poor. In addition, Mozgov scored the last two key goals to help the team win another game and continue to secure the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference.

In the past few games, Xie Chen's high score was the guarantee. In this game, Xie Chen's score did not exceed 30 points. It is really rare to win, but people also began to doubt whether the Lakers can continue to be so lucky?

　Thank you for watching the original version when you have no money, dragging crazy young, and allowing the catastrophe to be rewarded!
