Super all-around point guard

Chapter 769 Meet Karl Malone again!

Several NBA stars do not think that the Lakers can break last year's regular season record of the Warriors. Last year, the Warriors' lineup from the main force to the bench was very luxurious, reasonable and harmonious. They had such achievements because of the right time, place and people. In terms of lineup, this year's Lakers are far different from last year's Warriors or the 96 Bulls.

Furthermore, Phil Jackson also said that the NBA championship will not be won in November, and the Lakers should focus on the playoffs instead of chasing records, causing core players to be injured or other bad situations.

However, O'Neal is very optimistic about the performance of the Lakers in the playoffs, because he predicts that Xie Chen still has a hidden ability, and this ability is absolutely extraordinary. Once used, the Lakers may have the strength to fight super teams like the Warriors and Spurs!

Before that, O'Neill and others often talked about this issue. They all suspected that Xie Chen still had a unique trick. After this All-Star Game, O'Neill became more certain of this idea. When he saw Xie Chen leave early in a sports car after dunking, O'Neill knew that Xie Chen was exactly the same person as himself. He liked to act aggressively and had absolute strength.

O'Neal said: "I think I understand Xie Quan more and more. I am beginning to understand what kind of person he is. Since he dared to come to the Lakers from the Knicks and challenge the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs in the West, he must have something to rely on. In the slam dunk contest last year, we all felt that we had seen Xie Quan's dunk ability, but this year, he made a 720-degree turning dunk! Take it out and use it, I can guarantee that the thing I predicted will definitely happen."

……

After the All-Star Game, the playoffs are getting closer and closer. For teams that want to win the championship, they will start to think about their opponents in the playoffs at this time. All the teams in the West that are eligible for the playoffs are avoiding the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.

However, the Warriors and Spurs both care about the Lakers. If they want to get a better ranking, they'd better take away the Lakers' No.

At the current stage, those teams ranked near the eighth place will start to play hard, while the teams ranked first and second must pay more attention to the physical condition of the players, start to play slowly, and even slowly until the main players will take turns to focus on preparing for the playoffs.

Xie Chen is a person who has a crazy obsession with records. Of course, he wants to break the record of the Warriors last year and win the championship in the end, but he also knows how hard it will be to achieve this.

Fortunately, the first game after the All-Star Game against the Nets will not bring much challenge to the Lakers. The Nets are also hopeless in the playoffs this season, and their competitiveness is not strong. It just so happens that Xie Chen also needs to rest. It is more appropriate to play the Nets in the first game after returning from vacation.

Xie Chen remembered that when he was in New York Knicks last year, the first game after the All-Star Game was against the Nets. In that game, Xie Chen showed his hidden ability that he had held back for a long time. Carter's dunk ability even surpassed the Nets' center Bargnani at that time.

After being leaped over his head by Xie Chen, Bargnani is no longer in the Nets, not even playing in the NBA, but went to Spain to play. Rumor has it that he and his beautiful young model girlfriend also broke up.

Knowing this news, Xie Chen was also in a sad mood... I don't know if Bargnani was forced to go to Spain and broke up with his girlfriend.

Xie Chen also decided not to insult any player as much as possible in the future, especially players with low psychological endurance, such as Chasing Dream Green, Noah, Jason Terry, etc., he should not let go of the opportunity.

After defeating the Nets at home, the Lakers' next opponent is the Celtics. The Celtics are not a team like the Nets that can't make it to the playoffs. In addition, the Celtics will strive to have a good ranking in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, this game must be the first high-intensity game that the Lakers have encountered after the All-Star Game. Fortunately, it is also at home, and Xie Chen does not need to think too much about physical issues.

After the start of the game, Thomas Jr. played very excitedly, aggressively, and toughly. He was able to break through himself to score and pass the ball to his teammates. The Lakers played passively, and the Celtics kept leading the score.

The audience at home felt that this game might not be won. Even the Lakers thought so. The Celtics showed too much desire to win. In addition, the Lakers only lost four games this season. They are a team that can lose. Psychologically, they are unwilling to fight like the Celtics.

Xie Chen's scoring is still very efficient, but Thomas Jr. can always respond to Xie Chen. Thomas Jr. is not tall, and Xie Chen is very difficult to defend, especially when Thomas Jr. is aggressive, he must pay great attention to controlling the strength of defense, otherwise it is easy to be called a defensive foul. If Karl Malone's power is accidentally used, Thomas Jr. will definitely fly out.

In addition, Avery Bradley of the Celtics made three-pointers today. He made 8 three-pointers in three quarters and only took 10 shots.

At present, Xie Chen averages 6 three-pointers per game. Last season, Curry averaged 5 three-pointers per game. The whole season broke the record with 402. If Xie Chen can maintain this season, there is almost no suspense to break Curry's 402 goals.

Seeing Bradley's brave performance, the Lakers' home audience were both helpless and somewhat admirable.

"Why are people wearing No. 0 jerseys so fucking? Needless to say, Chris Xie, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Andre Drummond, and this Bradley in front of me. When did No. 0 become the representative number of the strongest players?"

"If you don't say it, you really don't think so, buddy, it's really like this. Apart from them, Kevin Love is also No. 0. Jeff Teague also had this number when he was in the Eagles. Before that, it seemed that No. 3 was the most popular. D-WADE, CP3 and even T-AMC also used No. 3. In certain periods, using a certain number can really represent something. Thanks to the influence of Russell and Russell, more young people will definitely choose No. 0 in the future."

No. 0 can be said to be the most popular number in the league now. It even gives people a feeling that as long as they see No. 0, they will feel that the opponent is strong. Especially after Xie Chen's success, the rookies in the past two years are particularly keen to choose No. 0. They want to be as successful as Xie Chen.

Bradley played so well today, and he feels that he is more worthy of the number on his body.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly lost to the Celtics at home, and were defeated by the Celtics' crazy offense and defense in the fourth quarter.

After this battle, the Lakers also lost 5 games.

Three days later, the Lakers were a guest in Salt Lake City. Having already lost one game, they didn't want to lose a streak. They didn't dare to think about breaking the record of 73 wins, but they still wanted to keep the No. [-] ranking in the Western Conference. After all, this means home court advantage in the playoffs.

Playing against the Jazz is also not easy, because they are also a team competing for a playoff spot. Before, every time Xie Chen went to someone else's away game, Xie Chen would threaten the coach. Now everyone has become very serious and has no interest in making such jokes.

To win, Xie Chen still needs to score 30 points. After scoring 30 points, Xie Chen started the story of the Legendary Challenge. He hasn't played a Legendary game for a long time, so he is still very excited.

The legendary team I met this time was another strong team with Karl Malone and Stockton. When I met Karl Malone before, Xie Chen copied Karl Malone’s fighting ability. Xie Chen still remembers sacrificing his teammate Lopez in order to copy it successfully. , it happened right in front of your eyes, you can clearly see the blood in Lopez's mouth and his painful appearance.

At that time, after Karl Malone beat Lopez, he was sent off the court, and Xie Chen's fusion degree after copying was only 30%. Even if Karl Malone was on the court, Xie Chen could not avenge his teammates.

I met again today, and according to Xie Chen's habit of avenging his teammates, it stands to reason that he should have punched Ma Long, but if he thought about it carefully, Xie Chen would not have won the fight with the Magic if it wasn't for Karl Malone's strength, and Ma Long's iron elbow.

"If I didn't have Karl Malone's strength, maybe I would still be No.1 in the league now, and I could still win these championships, but I wouldn't be respected as much as I am now." Xie Chen deeply knew that after one-on-one singled out the entire Magic team, the entire league knew Xie Chen's terrifying fighting power.
In any case, Karl Malone's ability has helped Xie Chen a lot. When meeting Karl Malone in this period again, Xie Chen would like to pay tribute.

James used to play a slam dunk move to pay tribute to Karl Malone, that is, when dunking, touch the back of the head. Xie Chen also played such a move when he met Karl Malone last time, but he didn't know what to do when he was dunked by Malone.

Xie Chen suddenly remembered Aaron Gordon's first dunk in the slam dunk contest finals a few days ago. After Gordon spun, he touched the back of his head and dunked it.

This slam dunk was done beautifully, and Xie Chen also liked it very much. It happened to be 1997, and Xie Chen also wanted to show these old guys the perfect dunk action of the 2017 slam dunk contest.

But it's a pity that hot wheels are not popular in this era, so Xie Chen pulled the jazz's mascot, the jazz bear, and let him spin the ball on the spot.

At this time, Xie Chen and the mascot also attracted the attention of the audience, and the Jazz team, which was warming up, also cast their eyes on it.

Hornacek, who is currently coaching the Knicks, took a look and asked Karl Malone, "What do you think this No. 0 is going to do?"

Karl Malone chuckled and said, "Maybe it's a dunk, but he can't dunk any good moves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mascot began to rotate clockwise on the spot. Xie Chen found the opportunity and rushed forward quickly. After getting the ball with one hand, he turned counterclockwise, then touched the back of his head to imitate Karl Malone, and then made a one-armed heavy dunk, dunking the ball into the basket!

"Oh my god! This dunk is so beautiful!"

"This slam dunk entered the dunk contest is definitely a perfect score!"

The audience at the scene was immediately amazed, not to mention the audience in 1997, even 20 years later, everyone was amazed when this action was first performed, and the degree of amazement in 1997 can be imagined.

This dunk also made Karl Malone dumbfounded.

"This guy's jumping, strength, and dunk creativity are excellent, and he also imitated my signature moves. Although he paid tribute to me, once he made this dunk, I can't do it again in the future!" Karl Malone didn't appreciate Xie Chen's sympathy at all, because after Xie Chen's dunk, Malone himself didn't want to touch the back of his head to dunk again. He felt that his dunk was not as good as Xie Chen's.

After the game started, Xie Chen thought Ma Long would be grateful for his salute, but he didn't expect this guy to give Xie Chen a dark elbow in the 3rd minute of the game!
Xie Chen suddenly felt baffled. Ma Long looked completely dismissive towards Xie Chen, and said, "Boy, although your dunk is much better than Kobe who just won the dunk contest this year, don't try to show it off in the competition. Watch out for my elbow, understand?"

Xie Chen has long been disgusted by the arrogant threatening words of the older generation of stars. They even beat the Bad Boys Legion and gave up their title. Would they still be afraid of someone with the same ability as him?
Xie Chen said unceremoniously: "I taught you a lesson for Kobe before, since your nature cannot be changed, then I will avenge Lopez tonight, so come here!"

Xie Chen couldn't beat Ma Long last time, but now he is not afraid, but Ma Long was at a loss after hearing this, isn't Kobe a kid who just entered the league?What would I have to do with him?Which one is Lopez referring to?He even felt that it was ridiculous for a small point guard to want to teach him a lesson.

Soon, Karl Malone discovered that Xie Chen wanted to grab a rebound from him, and pushed him under the basket. Malone smiled contemptuously. Although he was 34 years old, he still had muscles.

"What?" In the next second, Karl Malone was shocked!

　What do you think of the Thunder vs. Warriors tomorrow?Will Westbrook make another 50+?
