Super all-around point guard

Chapter 72 The Second Young Master Thunder!

After half a month, the two strong teams in the East met again.

In the last match, the Heat's victory was very thrilling and difficult. They were behind by as much as 19 points in the away game. If Xie Chen hadn't suddenly stood up to encourage the whole team and drove the team with his performance, no one would have thought that they would have been able to steal that victory.

In the last game, the two teams only had one point in overtime. If it wasn't for Chalmers and Haslem's malicious fouls, which disturbed the emotions of the Eagles players, and if it wasn't for Xie Chen's desperate performance regardless of his body, it would be really difficult for the Heat to win.

But before the start of the game, Coach Spoel and President Riley seriously warned Xie Chen that he must not go on a rampage like the last time, because with Xie Chen's body, once injured, it would be difficult to play in a short time. Xie Chen also nodded sincerely and said that he would not do this again. After all, this time there is no reward for 20 fusion points, and it is not worth Xie Chen's hard work.

Besides, the last matchup, the reason why the Heat played hard was because the inside defense was not good, but now it is different from the past, the Heat signed a very potential inside, Hassan, I believe the Eagles will soon know that after half a month, the Heat have become stronger again!
After the outstanding performance against the Warriors at the end of the last game, Hassan finally ushered in the starting position. This is a "trial" start, just to give Hassan a chance to play. If he is not satisfactory, Hassan will still be replaced soon.

As a result, Hassan did not disappoint everyone. He grabbed 12 rebounds, scored 8 points, and sent 3 blocks. His contributions to the Heat on both ends of the offense and defense were not reflected in statistics. I believe the Eagles will be very aware of the trouble Hassan caused them.

Xie Chen is stronger than half a month ago. Whether it is the three-point shooting percentage or the breakthrough layup, coupled with the fadeaway jumper he just learned, Wade has also recovered and returned to the team. Bosh is not as strong as last time. The Big Three are perfectly combined. The strength is as terrifying as last year's Big Three, and now there is Hassan!The Eagles coach shook his head in this game. He never expected that in just half a month, the team that was able to lead the opponent by 19 points before, now it is so difficult to lead by one point.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Eagles at home. Bosh and Wade scored a team-high 28 points. Xie Chen's personal offense was somewhat restrained, scoring only 21 points, but also scored 9 assists.

The system points finally reached 400 points, and Xie Chen got the copy permission again!

T.NT live room.

The four old buddies still gather together to talk about the current hot issues in the NBA, and with the rise of Xie Chen's rookie, his hot topic gradually replaced the cliché names like James and Kobe, because Xie Chen is really hard to understand, so everyone likes to talk about him.

The host got straight to the point: "The Heat have won [-] consecutive victories, [-] consecutive victories! Guys, at the beginning of the season, can you believe it? Xie is still the biggest contributor to this wave of winning streak, and he is still at the top of the scoring list. We don't need to discuss the silly topic of who is the best rookie between him and Andrew Wiggins. But the old problem does not exist, and the new problem is coming. Is Chris Xie the best number one in the league today?"

Kenny Smith was the first to react exaggeratedly after hearing this: "Oh, man, I know Xie is great, he has excellent offensive ability, and he can also lead the team to victory, but it is still too early to compare him with CP3, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving and other stars."

"But don't forget, Xie's current statistics are better than those guys you just mentioned, including Tony Parker, John Wall, Derrick Rose, etc. you didn't mention. In my opinion, his current performance is the number one point guard in the league." O'Neal retorted with a serious face while sitting upright.

At this time, Barkley smiled, looked at O'Neal and said, "You're right, but you should also know that the regular season is not halfway through. Is it too arbitrary to give such a high evaluation to a rookie who has never proven himself based on his performance at the beginning of the season? I agree with Kenny. It is too early to compare Xie with those few, but if you have to compare, let's compare Westbrook of the Thunder with Xie. He is better than Xie, and in terms of defense, Xie can't even compare with him, his defense is basically at the third-rate level."

"Yes, Charles, Xie's defense is very average. If you want to praise his offense, then Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, and Derrick Rose are not inferior to him, and he is more enjoyable to watch. But if his performance can continue until the end of the regular season, I will regard him as one of the three best point guards in the league, I swear." Kenny Smith said seriously.

"Then who are the other two point guards?" the host gossiped.

"Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook," Kenny Smith replied.

O'Neill snorted coldly: "In my opinion, now he can be juxtaposed with these two people."

The host smiled, did not continue this topic, and directly moved to the next topic: "OK, the second question, can the new Big Three of the Miami Heat be integrated? Everyone knows that this team used to be Dwyane's team. After LeBron left, he will once again enjoy the rights of the past years, and Chris Bosh is the top-paid player of the Heat. The core of tactics is completely around him. It won't be long before they will surpass each other in the MVP ranking, and I heard that Xie is negotiating a big contract with Nike."

Speaking of which, even Charles Barkley couldn't help but admire: "Yes, he has entered the peak of his life now. I think he will definitely get a big contract, not only in endorsement. He will be one of the league's top paid players in the future, but his crazy performance has also stimulated Chris Bosh. I guess Bosh will not hand over the team's boss position so easily, and neither will Wade."

Kenny Smith and Barkley held the same opinion, and O'Neal thought for a long time before replying: "Guys, I have played with D-Wade for a long time. We won the championship together. The important thing is that we have also been in this kind of 'power struggle'. So believe me, I definitely know him better than you. At that time, I told him, this is your team, yes, I gave the rights to him, and later, he transferred the rights to LeBron in the same way. Now, I guess Wade must be very willing to be thankful, but Chris Bosh will not be so easy, so I think your concerns are justified, the Heat will indeed have a long way to go in the future in terms of the integration of the Big Three, and there may even be a trouble."

"A...O." The host made an exaggerated expression. Unexpectedly, the three of them reached an agreement on this matter, so he continued to ask: "The last question, when do you think the Heat's current winning streak will end?"

Kenny Smith shook his head: "It's hard to guess. The Heat's current momentum is too strong. This kind of winning streak is very strange. Sometimes they may lose suddenly, and sometimes they may continue to win. In addition, they have signed a good center. What is it called Hassan? Yes, Hassan Whiteside, oh, Pat Riley has a unique vision, I guess at least 20 consecutive victories."

"At least 20 straight wins," Barkley said, "but no more than 25."

On this issue, O'Neill also remained cautious: "I agree with Charles."

……

Xie Chen also watched this evening's discussion at home. After seeing other people's evaluations of him, Xie Chen didn't feel too much. He also felt that with his current strength, he was far behind the league's number one point guard. At least his defense was far behind.

What makes him concerned is the fusion of the Big Three discussed by the four. In fact, the Heat do have this hidden danger at present. Let alone Xie Chen, even LeBron James, a recognized No.1 in the league, has to continue to communicate and integrate with Owen Love in the Cavaliers. Why is the Cavaliers currently not good?It is because he and Irving did not integrate well. Irving respects James very much off the court, but he still does his own way on the court.

There was an interesting scene in the first few games. The Cavaliers were behind by a big score. Irving hadn’t passed the ball before. After halftime, Irving passed the ball to James. James didn’t want it this time, and quickly passed the ball back to Irving.

It can be seen that there are no couples who do not quarrel, and no teammates who do not have grudges.

So Xie Chen has begun to restrain himself. Since Bosh wants to be the boss, he should follow him first. After all, the winning streak is the most important thing.

Early the next morning, Xie Chen drove to the team training hall. The car was given to him by Nike for temporary use. It was a Porsche 911. After unanimous discussions with his agent and teammate bosses, Xie Chen still decided to choose Nike, where James Kobe is. Now they are discussing the details of the specific contract. Of course, Xie Chen has full authority over these matters to Wang Zhihui.

When he came to the gymnasium, Hassan had already started training hard. He and two staff members who were training with him were practicing the bumper relay. Xie Chen saw that Hassan was working hard, so he also joined in and practiced blocking shots with him. Seeing the shots he shot was blocked by Hassan again and again, Xie Chen felt extremely happy in his heart.

After playing the Eagles, the next opponent the Heat will face is much easier, so the mentality of the Heat team is also very relaxed. Just when everyone was practicing happily, two unexpected guests appeared in the training hall.

"Hello everyone." A strange voice sounded in the arena.

Xie Chen looked back for the first time, and was immediately shocked.

"Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant!"
