Super all-around point guard

Chapter 785 The world is shocked!

League No.1 decided to retire!This is definitely enough to shock anyone in the NBA circle!
LeBron James was stunned. Before that, he had never thought about the connection between Xie Chen and retirement, because it would be after his own retirement. Xie Chen is so young, even he, a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years, has not considered retirement. How could Xie Chen choose to retire after winning another championship?Is it just to emulate Michael Jordan?

James looked at Xie Chen in surprise, and said emotionally: "Stop joking, thank you, you are so young, you are the future of the league, this is only your third season, how can you choose to retire so soon?"

Xie Chen said: "I don't think retirement has anything to do with age, but with achievements. I don't necessarily retire this season. What I mean is to retire after winning the third championship. If I can't win this season, I will continue my career until I win the third one. I once talked about this issue with Michael Jordan. I, like him, get tired while winning championships. The team with the worst record in the East can still win the championship. If I can break through so many strong teams and win the championship in the worst team in the West, I think I have nothing to prove.

James did not deny what Xie Chen said. It is indeed the case. If Xie Chen really wins the championship with the Lakers this season, then he will defeat the Warriors with the strongest combination in history as the weakest team in the West. Even a super team like the Warriors can beat it. Xie Chen is really invincible.

James asked curiously: "Don't you want to win more championships? Like Michael Jordan? You did a lot of things that Michael Jordan couldn't do. You don't need to win six championships to replace him as the number one in history."

Xie Chen smiled and said, "After winning three championships, I really need to rest. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe, after retiring for a few years, I will come back again."

James also laughed at this time. Xie Chen’s decision to retire this time is not the same as Jordan’s retirement for three consecutive championships. Although Jordan also retired for three consecutive championships, Jordan had already played in the NBA for many years at that time, and his retirement would seem to be complete.

James believes that even if Xie Chen returns in three to five years, Xie Chen will still be able to win the championship. But for James, this is indeed great news. James is not young, and his peak period is only a few years away.

James said: "This is really a decision that is enough to shock the world, and it is also very important to you. I sincerely hope that you will not be hasty and must think clearly. However, no matter what your final decision is, I will still support you!"

"Thank you."

After James left Xie Chen's house, he returned by car. On the way back, James couldn't calm down at all. He would never have thought that he would be informed of such a heavy news in advance when he came this time.

Xie Chen's retirement is definitely good news for James, who is not much left in his peak period. However, the premise of Xie Chen's retirement is to win another championship. That is to say, if James wants to make Xie Chen's threat disappear as soon as possible, he must let Xie Chen win the championship this season.

"In the West, Xie may not be able to lead the Lakers to break through. Although his body is very strong, basketball is not an individual sport after all. However, if he can really beat the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and other strong opponents to the Finals and meet my Cavaliers, then, will I win them or not?"

James predicted the dilemma at that time in advance. Of course, he hopes that Xie Chen will retire and let James win another MVP to win the championship. However, when it comes to the stage of the finals, James will do his best to win the championship no matter what.

……

After James left, Xie Chen and Katie became tender and lingering. At this time, Xie Chen also wanted to let his wife know about his important decision.

Xie Chen jokingly asked Katie: "What do you think of me going to T.NT to partner with you as a guest on the show? Am I the material to be a host?"

Katie said: "I watched the episode of the show you were on before. You are exactly the same as Shaq and Charles. I mean, the way you brag and the degree of exaggeration in telling stories are very effective on the show. If you are a resident guest on the show, I believe the ratings will skyrocket."

"Really? If that's the case, then after I retire, I'll cling to you for a while and go on shows with you." Xie Chen smiled.

"What did you say? Retire?" Katie could see that Xie Chen was different today, so she didn't take it as a joke.

Xie Chen began to seriously explain: "My dear, I have thought about it for a long time these days. I decided to retire after winning another championship. I will spend more time with you. Besides, I have won three championships. My career is already complete enough. Even if I still cannot do without basketball in the future, I hope to rest for a while. Maybe I will come back later. What do you think?"

Katie didn't say much, but leaned on Xie Chen's body and said softly: "I support you in any decision you make, honey, even if you are no longer a basketball player or a celebrity, you are still the person I love the most."

……

Early the next morning, a blockbuster news blew up the internet.

Xie Chen announced on Twitter that he will retire after winning another championship!
Xie Chen wrote on Twitter: "In the third season in the league, I have already won two championships. I gradually feel less challenged. Michael Jordan is my idol. I think it is a cool thing to retire at the peak. I have always been good at hiding my abilities, but in the third year, almost all of my hidden abilities have been exposed. I have nothing to hide to surprise everyone, but I hope I will always be a player who can surprise everyone. Tired, I don’t want everyone to guess what I do in advance, so I decided to retire after winning another championship! Let me leave everyone in the most perfect condition!”

As soon as the news came out, the sports circles all over the United States and the world were shocked!The headlines on the front pages of the major news networks were all about Xie Chen retiring after winning another championship, or even directly written, Xie Chen chose to retire!
"No! Thank you, how could you leave! I only watched the NBA because of you. You are the most unique and strongest player in the league. Without you, who else would we watch!"

"This is by no means true. In history, there has never been such a young player who chose to retire at the peak of his career! Although there is no such young player who has completed three championships..."

Hupu JRS is also talking about it.

"Why did Xie Chen decide to retire after winning another championship after being inspected? Is he afraid that the secret of transforming people will be found out sooner or later?"

"You guys don't know much about Xie Chen! This is one of Xie Chen's tricks! Just imagine how fierce the competition in the Western Conference playoffs is this year? Although the Lakers have a good record, they will definitely lose when they meet strong teams like the Clippers, Warriors, and Spurs in the playoffs. As we all know, Xie Chen's existence makes many people uncomfortable. No matter how strong he is, he loses his light in front of Xie Chen. Win a crown, then delete Twitter, as if nothing has been said..."

"Thank God, thank you Ritian! You finally chose to retire! Lao Zhan and I, Mengku, have hope of winning the championship again. This year's playoffs are all the way to the green light, and the championship is guaranteed. You hurry up!"

As for Xie Chen's real fans, when they heard the news at this time, some people were already crying. They knew very well that Xie Chen would not make such jokes. Other fans have been fans for more than ten years. Xie Chen seemed to be a little too cruel to his fans.

Xie Chen is No.1 in the league. Ever since he entered the league, he has been the topic of conversation and the focus of everyone's attention. After hearing the news, the major teams stopped paying attention to the upcoming playoffs and started talking about Xie Chen.

Golden State Warriors.

As soon as Chasing Dream Green got together with everyone, he shouted: "Did you see that? Xie said he would retire after winning another championship? What does he mean? Is he serious?"

Curry said sadly: "He has always been my biggest opponent. I really don't want him to leave the league. To be honest, this news about him made me feel bad."

Durant's mood also seemed to be affected. He came to the Golden State Warriors to form a group to prevent Xie Chen from winning the championship. Now Xie Chen has announced that he will retire if he wins the championship again?
Durant said coldly: "Anyway, it will be a long time before he wins the championship again, so there is no need to be so sad."

Coach Cole also said: "KD is right. It is not easy for Xie to complete his retirement goal. I think there must be many people who are reluctant to leave him. If this is the case, then we will keep Xie for them in this year's playoffs and just beat the Lakers."

Timberwolves.

This year the Timberwolves can't make it to the playoffs again. Karl Downs, Andrew Wiggins, Zach Lavin... What a group of talented stars, they can't see where the future lies, but after Xie Chen decided to win another championship and retire, they seem to see hope...

"Thank you, thank you, we finally have a chance to win the championship!" Towns and Wiggins were very excited.

Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Anthony and others were also shocked, but the ones who couldn't accept this result the most were probably the Lakers' management and players.

Jenny Buss wanted Xie Chen to stay with the Lakers for the next ten years or even longer and become the signature star of the Lakers, but Xie Chen decided to retire, so Jenny Buss contacted Xie Chen immediately and chatted with Xie Chen for a long time. She found that Xie Chen had a firm attitude and it was impossible to repent.

As a result, Jenny Buss was caught in a conflict. On the one hand, she hoped that Xie Chen could lead the team to win the championship;

Xie Chen flew back to Los Angeles with Katie early in the morning. After returning to Los Angeles, he went to the team training hall to meet the team. Tonight, the Lakers will play against the Pistons at home. Xie Chen will play and start.

Before Xie Chen arrived, the entire training hall was already in chaos. Everyone was not in the mood to train, and they were all talking about their team leader.

"Hey, guys, how are you all? The two games I wasn't here, you guys played terrible!" As soon as we met, Xie Chen couldn't help "swearing" at his teammates.

Nick Yang jumped out immediately, walked up to Xie Chen, anxiously asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, and said, "Thank you, are you serious? I mean what you said on Twitter. What happened during this period of time made you make such a decision? Why did you choose to retire after winning the championship at such a young age? After hearing your decision, we were very upset. We didn't know what to do next. If you won the championship for you, it would be like sending you away. We don't want you to leave."

Xie Chen smiled at Nick Young: "You still like to talk big, don't you understand the situation of this year's playoffs? It seems that winning the championship is easy for you."

Ci Shiping also stood up at this time and said: "Xie, I think your decision is very cool, and I decided to win another championship like you, and I also chose to retire! Let's go together!"

Richard Jefferson also came over and said: "Count me in, if we win the championship, I will also choose to retire, let's go together!"

Yi Jianlian also said: "If I win the championship with you, I will also leave the NBA and return to China to play!"

One by one, they are leaving the NBA with Xie Chen. At this time, Ingram, Clarkson and others look at each other and I look at you. They also want to advance and retreat together, but they have just entered the league!
The topic stopped suddenly, and Ci Shiping grabbed Ingram's neck and said, "Shouldn't you also do this cool thing with us? If you win the championship, you will retire!"

Ingram said: "This is not fun, you guys have reached the age of retirement, I just entered the league..."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, Luke Walton stepped forward, and did not question Xie Chen's decision to retire, but said: "Xie, it will be very lively at home tonight, you should prepare well."

The first game after announcing the decision to retire will be fun.
