Super all-around point guard

Chapter 744 New York, I'm back!

At the scene, only Luke Walton had seen Xie Chen and Jordan's layup ability. Walton thought that Xie Chen had exposed his hidden layup ability. This made Xie Chen dumbfounded, because even a monster like Jordan couldn't do a layup with a 720-degree turn.

The All-Stars have a slam dunk contest, but no layup contest. No matter who it is, they don’t have the time to practice a 720-degree turn layup. Xie Chen’s ability to score this time is completely ignorant...

Xie Chen innocently said to Luke Walton: "I didn't want to expose my layup ability. I was caught in the layup just now..."

Luke Wharton was surprised, patted Xie Chen and said, "Forget it, the most important thing is that you are healthy."

Afterwards, Xie Chen's 720-degree turn layup, which was recorded by Xie Chen, was repeated on the live TV. As everyone continued to watch, they also began to discuss Xie Chen's ability in depth.

"I don't think this layup means that Xie Chen has the same high-level layup ability as Jordan Kobe. Jordan Kobe does often hit magical goals when his body is out of balance, but at least they know where the basket is. But Xie Chen's layup rotated 720 degrees in the air. I think others have already fainted. This ball is simply blind!"

"That's right, although the ball is very hanging, it cannot be replicated, and from this 720-degree layup, we can also confirm another thing, that is, Xie Chen can't do a 720-degree turn dunk! It can be clearly seen that his 720-degree turn in the air is very reluctant, and after the rotation, he can't figure out where the basket is at all. The layup almost hurt his waist. It is impossible to complete the dunk."

"Agreed. Originally, with Xie Chen's ability to stay in the air, I was quite looking forward to his 720-degree dunk in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Hey, this layup has ruined my beautiful imagination."

Nowadays, there are more and more masters who know the ball. In the past, many fans still needed explanations from basketball commentators to understand what was going on. Now many people know as much as the commentators and feel that they are very professional. From Xie Chen’s layup this time, it has been judged that Xie Chen can’t do a 720-degree dunk. This makes people feel that Mr720 still belongs to the guy named TJ.

Although Xie Chen was fine, he still stayed in the locker room to rest and receive simple treatment. Fortunately, Xie Chen's injury also inspired other Lakers players. After all, fast-break layups have to use 720 degrees to get injured. No one in the entire NBA...

Luke Walton also told the players there: "Have you seen Xie's professionalism? Have you seen his love for basketball? Have you seen his dissatisfaction with himself? He knows that there are many enthusiastic Lakers fans at the scene, and he also knows that everyone is tired of his 360 layups, so he dared to try 720 degrees. We must learn from his spirit of never being satisfied with ourselves!"

The Lakers have high fighting spirit, but fortunately, the Bulls are not a particularly difficult opponent. After a fierce battle, the Lakers narrowly beat the Bulls at home.

After the game, James couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Xie's performance is abnormal every time he meets the Chicago Bulls, especially in the away game. I didn't expect that he was injured at home this time. Why did he choose to make such an incomprehensible 720-degree layup? Normally, he finishes the fast break with a dunk. Could it be that someone forced him to make this move in this game? Unfortunately, I have never been able to find out his secret in Chicago."

"But no matter what, it is already a terrible thing to affect Xie's performance. Perhaps, I should really seriously consider the matter of the Chicago Bulls..."

……

When Xie Chen got home, he was complained by his wife again. Although she didn't go to the scene or watch the live broadcast, she also watched the replay. She couldn't understand why Xie Chen played a 720-degree turn when he was going up to the basket. Fortunately, there was nothing serious.

The next scene was to go to New York, which was the home of the two last year, so Xie Chen and Katie decided to fly to New York together. When Katie was packing, the two talked about many good memories in New York last year. They chatted, and the two couldn't help but become lingering. However, when they were in love and wanted to do some things that a couple should do, Katie refused because she was worried that Xie Chen's back injury would worsen...

This time, Xie Chen's return to New York to fight against his old team also attracted the attention of many media and fans. Many media have broadcast the game live, including CCTV.

Before the game, Yang Jian said: "Welcome to today's game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Today's game is also attracting attention, because this is the first time Xie Chen has returned to Madison Square Garden to play since he left the New York Knicks and switched to the Lakers. Everyone knows that last season Xie Chen led the New York Knicks from the last in the Eastern Conference to the eighth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. Xie Chen did it, and there is no doubt that he is a hero in New York."

Yang Yi said: "Yes, after many stars leave a team, they will always be hated by the fans in this city. Of course, when Xie Chen went to the Lakers, there were also extreme fans who burned Xie Chen's Knicks jerseys, but they were not as angry as James and Durant when they left. First of all, Xie Chen didn't go to anyone. He didn't give up Carmelo Anthony and go to a superstar. I always feel that Xie Chen will come back to play here one day."

Yang Jian nodded: "In the last game against the Bulls, Xie Chen played a 720-degree layup that we had never seen before. Although he made it, he seemed to have suffered a little injury at the time. However, according to the information we got, Xie Chen will still start in this game. He will fight against the old team again. Let us wait and see if Xie Chen will perform miraculously again."

……

Madison Square Garden.

When Xie Chen appeared in this arena again, there were no boos, and the audience stood up and cheered!
There are many celebrities sitting in the first row, such as JAY-Z, Rihanna, Brother Mars, Leonardo, Tim Cook, ABBY... Of course, there is also the president of the Knicks, the Zen master Phil Jackson!
When Xie Chen entered the arena, Zen Master also stood up with a smile, and then clapped his hands with everyone to welcome Xie Chen's arrival.

This is simply a rare phenomenon in history!
Especially compared with James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time after defecting to the Heat, and Durant returning to the Thunder's home court for the first time this season, there are two completely different scenarios.

Xie Chen left the New York Knicks, and left voluntarily. When he came back again, what he got was not boos from the audience, but cheers from the audience!Everyone still loves Xie Chen, and still regards Xie Chen as a hero!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" The audience shouted to Xie Chen, just like last season.

There are naturally many reasons for this phenomenon.

First of all, when Xie Chen came to the New York Knicks last season, the Knicks were the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Even with another superstar Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks still had no competitiveness in the Eastern Conference. However, the arrival of Xie Chen made the Knicks an instant champion!
Such a step to the sky, the shock and surprise to New York Knicks fans is too great. The Knicks just got a Xie Chen, and the others didn't even have any reinforcements. It's just that Zen master was lucky to choose a good rookie Porzingis, and they defeated the Golden State Warriors who made history in the finals!
So far, the New York Knicks still feel extremely proud when they mention that they defeated the 73-win Golden State Warriors. This pride is all brought to them by Xie Chen!

Xie Chen is the undisputed hero of New York!

James and Durant were booed because they had been in that city for many years, but they had never won a championship for that city. Their choice at the time was to escape and choose stronger teammates to win championships for other cities. It was natural to be booed.

Xie Chen is different from them. Xie Chen left after winning the championship for the New York Knicks, and he finished it against the sky with such poor hardware conditions.

In addition, this is only Xie Chen's third season, and Xie Chen has not promised the Lakers that he will sign a long-term contract to stay with the Lakers. Moreover, New York is where Xie Chen grew up. Everyone thinks that Xie Chen will come back again.

Going to the west, he just wanted to prove that he won the same championship in the west. In fact, seeing Xie Chen set records again and again with the Lakers, New York fans were also happy for Xie Chen.

"Thank you, welcome back, New York will always be your home!" At the scene, many people shouted at Xie Chen, and some held signs, hoping that Xie Chen could return here soon.

Xie Chen came back here again, naturally he was very excited. The depression of his wife not satisfying him these two nights disappeared. Xie Chen waved to the fans, and then walked to the New York Knicks half court to say hello to a group of old comrades in arms.

Carmelo Anthony was the first to greet Xie Chen and hug Xie Chen deeply.

"Brother, long time no see. I miss you so much. After you left, I realized how happy it was to have a teammate like you last season. I am happy for your achievements in the Lakers." Anthony said sincerely to Xie Chen. Anthony really needs to thank Xie Chen, because without Xie Chen, Anthony does not have a ring now. Remember Cameron's.

Xie Chen also smiled and said: "Your results are also very good, third in the East, which is even better than when I was here last season."

"Hahaha." Anthony laughed after hearing this, "If you hadn't fought last season, we would have finished third. Fortunately, you didn't make the same mistake this season."

After laughing and chatting with Anthony, Xie Chen saw another familiar face, the big Porzingis.

"Boss." When Porzingis saw Xie Chen again, he still looked very shy. Facing Xie Chen, he still regarded Xie Chen as the team's big brother.

Xie Chen shook hands with Porzingis. He knew that Porzingis had a very good performance this season. He is currently averaging 17 points and 8 blocks per game. He is already a veritable giant of the New York Knicks.

Xie Chen was also very happy to see Porzingis again, because although Xie Chen was the number one contributor to winning the championship last season, if Porzingis was just a parallel rookie, the New York Knicks would have played more difficultly, and it might even affect the final result.

Xie Chen looked at Porzingis and said: "You look stronger again, which is good. I heard that you have dunked opponents in these few games. Are you going to dunk Mozgov or Yi Jianlian tonight? I have to say hello to them in advance."

"Hahaha, boss, don't make fun of me. I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of you." Porzingis said with a smile. In fact, Porzingis is really a bit domineering this season. It has to be said that Xie Chen has made such progress.

Porzingis is different from young players like Karl Downs and Wiggins. Although he may be a representative of the league in the future, the pressure on Porzingis is less. He has already won a championship, just like Garnett. After so many years of hard work in the NBA, didn’t he just win a championship?The next thing Porzingis has to do is to make himself better and be ready to take Anthony's class at any time.

Xie Chen, Anthony, and Porzingis were the Big Three that caused headaches for all opponents last season. However, today, the New York Knicks still have the Big Three. In addition to Anthony and Porzingis, the person who replaced Xie Chen is called Rose.

Rose, like Xie Chen, is a figure who once won the MVP of the regular season, which represents the strongest in the league!One MVP is gone, another MVP is coming, no wonder the Knicks can still maintain the level of a strong team. Although Rose has been injured several times, he is still very young after all, and he still maintains his passion for the game. Nowadays, it is too difficult to find top point guards. It is already the best result to replace Xie Chen with Rose.

The explosive rose has bloomed in the Chicago Bulls for eight years, and now coming to the New York Knicks seems to be the best reinforcement the Knicks can do after losing Xie Chen, but in fact, the Knicks were almost cheated by the Bulls.

The Rose sexual assault case was a hot topic in the past few months, and it just so happened that less than a week before this case was exposed, the Bulls traded Rose to the Knicks to get rid of this trouble.

A lot of people think the Bulls deliberately hid this from the Knicks, letting the Knicks handle Rose's mess for him.

Xie Chen had heard about Ross's case, and it could be seen that Ross was also a little haggard. Xie Chen stretched out his hand to this friend who had dealt with him many times, and asked with a smile, "Are you the one who replaced me?"
