Super all-around point guard

Chapter 789 Ride and buckle Howard in a row!
Howard was born prematurely, and his mother lost 7 children successively. Therefore, Howard has a particularly optimistic attitude towards life. Even when he is on a serious court, he is not as paranoid and fierce as others.

Just a word from Xie Chen turned the seemingly terrifying Howard into a familiar monster.

Xie Chen and Howard don't actually have any personal relationship. In the first two seasons, Xie Chen was in the East and Howard was in the West. They couldn't meet each other in the playoffs. They only played two games in the regular season, and they just met in the All-Star Game. They also went to nightclubs together, but their friendship was not established. This year, Xie Chen came to the West and Howard went to the East.

So Howard felt very strange about Xie Chen's words. Why was Xie Chen so reluctant to part with him?They were neither teammates nor brothers before!
However, these words really made Howard feel that it is better not to be so fierce to Xie Chen in the future.

Poor innocent boy, he didn't understand what he meant to Xie Chen. When Xie Chen said he was reluctant to part with Howard, he meant that he would not be able to bully him in the future...

As an existence who could replace James alone, Xie Chen always felt that Howard was very strong before entering the league. At that time, he thought that one day he could dunk Howard or overwhelm the opponent.

Unfortunately, Xie Chen likes to abuse superstars the most.

Soon, Xie Chen leisurely dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, suddenly accelerated, rushed to the basket like lightning, jumped up and went straight to Howard under the basket!

Howard didn't realize the aggressiveness of Xie Chen's ball at all, plus Xie Chen just said such "ambiguous" words to him, the pure Howard would never think that Xie Chen was going to dunk himself for this ball.

However, Xie Chen really did this.

After jumping up, Xie Chen went straight to Howard and completed a buckle on Howard!
The scene instantly boiled up!

"Haha, Xie humiliated his opponent again! Riding a dunk! Just like Kobe dunked Howard back then, Xie did another one!"

"He's still a nightmare for all post guys. I think Xie has chosen to retire. These big men will be very happy because they don't have to worry about being dunked anymore."

After being dunked, Howard was shocked and angry. He couldn't believe that Xie Chen really did this. At this time, Xie Chen was still hanging on the basket. Howard angrily pushed Xie Chen's legs away. After Xie Chen landed, Howard angrily said: "You cunning guy, you deliberately said those words just now to make me relax. You can't bear me!"

Xie Chen said with an aggrieved face: "I really miss you, buddy. After today, I may not have the chance to ride and buckle you again. When I think of this, I feel very sad."

"You bastard!" Howard yelled, and thought that Xie Chen really hated him before!

Howard was also irritated by Xie Chen, and then continued to become serious. The serious monster is still very scary. Coupled with the overall strength of the Eagles, it is not easy for the Lakers to overtake the score.

Until the third quarter, the Lakers were still 12 points behind and were being suppressed by their opponents. Xie Chen gradually felt that his teammates were not very hopeful about this game, and considering the current results of the Lakers, they could lose.

"I'm afraid I lost this game today. If I lose this game, I have to win all the remaining games to break the record. This is too difficult."

"Maybe we should have given up talking about breaking records. The championship is the most important thing."

For Lakers fans, if the Lakers really can't do it, they won't be too disappointed. After all, the Lakers have completely exceeded their expectations this season.

"If you want to fight back, you still have to score a goal to boost the morale of the team. Let's take Howard." Xie Chen didn't want to lose the game just like this. This might be the last time he played against Howard. Xie Chen must win him.

Since there may not be any chance of detaining Howard again in the future, it is better to just detain Howard today.

This time, Xie Chen rushed to the basket again and faced Howard!

"Damn it!" Seeing Xie Chen approaching aggressively, Howard immediately became nervous, and jumped with all his strength to block Xie Chen.

This time, Xie Chen came from the right side. After the jump, the left hand held the ball. Howard defended very well this time. It was difficult to ride and dunk him like before. Xie Chen didn't want to use O'Neal's power, so this time he avoided Howard and tried not to have positive body contact with Howard.

I saw Xie Chen flying to the left, his left hand passed through Howard's body, and then he dunked with difficulty!
boom!
A very wonderful left-hand dunk, once again detonated the audience!
After Xie Chen dunked successfully, he almost fell down. This action was too difficult.

Budenholzer was also taken aback. Xie Chen dared to play at this time!
Howard was dunked again, this time the humiliation was much less, because his defense was good enough, but Xie Chen was too capable.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers completed the steal, and Xie Chen made another fast-break dunk, and the emotions on the scene continued to rise!

At this time, the teammates also scored one after another, and the Lakers played a 12:2 offensive climax, forcing the Eagles to call a timeout.

Budenholzer thought that this game could be won easily, but Xie Chen was still unwilling to give up, and chose a dunk with such a high degree of difficulty and danger to ignite the audience to start a counterattack.

"Do these guys really want to try to break the regular season record?" Budenholzer looked at Luke Walton. He guessed that this rookie coach might think that he had no hope of breaking through the Western Conference playoffs, but he was very interested in historical records.

In the most critical fourth quarter, the score was still deadlocked. At this time, Howard had already fouled four times. Xie Chen felt that he should attack Howard more, and he should be dunked as before to ignite the players' fighting spirit.

Xie Chen had encountered a peak monster before. He knew how fast Howard's bounce was and how amazing it was. Compared with the peak period, when Howard blocks shots now, his jumping speed is obviously slower.

Coupled with the fact that Howard is now troubled by fouls, I am afraid that hesitation will cause Howard to take off a beat slower, which gave Xie Chen the opportunity to dunk Howard again!

Since he didn't use O'Neal's dunk ability, Xie Chen used Vince Carter and Zach Lavin's ability, so he was not sure to confront Howard. This time, Xie Chen planned to use Zach Lavin's dunk ability to dunk Howard. Zach Lavin lost to Howard in physical confrontation, so this dunk must not have physical contact, otherwise it will be difficult to dunk successfully.

"Run after dunking as fast as possible!" Xie Chen had never tried this dunking method before. It was a challenge for him, and his mood suddenly became rare and tense, because if he dunked Howard with Zach Lavin's dunk, once he really collided with Howard, he would definitely suffer.

So, when facing Howard again, Xie Chen bounced extremely fast, far from what Howard, who had passed his peak, jumped very high. When Howard was about to reach out to block the shot, Xie Chen quickly smashed the ball to the basket in order to avoid contact with Howard.

Just as Howard was about to attack Xie Chen, he found that Xie Chen shot immediately... He also gave up other methods to stop Xie Chen.

Then, Xie Chen completed a dunk against Howard!
"Oh, Xie dunked so fast this time, he jumped so fast and dunked so fast!"

"This simply doesn't give Howard a chance to block shots, or even a chance to reach out and pull Xie!"

Howard was dunked three times in front of Xie Chen in a game, and his face was not very good. No matter how he is not a former superstar, he can't be abused like this. In order to protect his territory, he even made malicious fouls on his opponents and was expelled from the field.

Xie Chen has already made Howard no longer calm, and the next thing can be left to Mozgov.

Mozgov's mid-range shots are getting more and more accurate now, and opponents have to guard against them. Mozgov's dreamy footsteps are already quite dreamy, and his various basket skills are becoming more proficient. Soon he brought Howard his fifth foul.

After five fouls, Howard's role on the court was not so terrible. The Lakers took the opportunity to regain the initiative, and at the critical moment, Clarkson was also very powerful. When Xie Chen was double-teamed, he hit two consecutive three-pointers!
Finally, with only one and a half minutes left, Howard received his sixth foul!The Eagles have no hope of regaining the score.

Howard's six criminals had to leave. Xie Chen stepped forward again and said, "Are you leaving like this? I really can't bear you..."

Howard was dunked three times by Xie Chen in one game, and another was humiliatingly dunked by scoring top ten goals. He knew that after leaving this time, he might never have the chance to play against Xie Chen again, but now he couldn't say anything touching. He said to Xie Chen: "Thank you, I sincerely hope that you can win the championship this season and then retire immediately! If you retire, we will still have a chance to be friends! If you don't retire, I really don't want to meet you!"

I believe that Howard's words also expressed the aspirations of Jordan Jr., Tristan Thompson and others.

Xie Chen felt that Howard, who was angry at this time, was very cute, so he continued to tease him and asked, "After the game, won't you exchange sneakers with me?"

After being deducted three times, Howard is still in the mood to exchange sneakers with him in a friendly manner. Howard replied: "After you retire, I will personally come to the door and ask you to send me signed sneakers. Let's go, thank you, and don't hurt us insiders anymore!"

Xie Chen suddenly felt very desolate. The opponents in the first two games were still very reluctant to leave. Why did they just hope that Xie Chen would leave now...

"Howard wants me to leave so much, what should I do if I don't want to retire?"

In this way, after the game, Xie Chen did not continue the farewell ceremony of giving away the sneakers. The next game against the Warriors will not be given away, and no one is willing to accept it.

As soon as the Lakers won the game, the Warriors players began to talk about the opponent they were about to face.

Steve Kerr has become jealous of the Lakers' record, especially because Luke Walton is the coach, and he still recognizes Luke Walton's coaching ability.

Cole said to everyone: "As you have seen, the Lakers have won again. There will be a lot less in the next game, and not much more. Xie now has the identity of a quasi-retired player who makes people unwilling to kill. Next, if it becomes his retirement tour, I will not be surprised if they break our regular season record last year."

"Oh, no, we must not let the Lakers break our record. Our record should be kept for a hundred years!" Warriors owner Joe Lacob said excitedly.

Iguodala also seriously analyzed: "Since Xie announced his decision to retire, he has always played at home. We are the first away game he has experienced. Many people said that Xie will say goodbye to the tour like Kobe did last year."

"Obviously, in our case, it is absolutely impossible for him to replace us as the protagonist." Draymond Green said, "Xie said that he will retire after winning the championship. Everyone knows that if Xie wants to win the championship, he must beat us in the playoffs. That is to say, we will definitely meet in the playoffs. The next game, Xie will not visit the Oracle Arena in Oakland for the last time."

"Yes, we are different from the three opponents in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons, Knicks, and Eagles. Even after the next game, we will not play again in the regular season, but we will still have a chance to fight in the playoffs, so we don't need to be polite to Xie Chen and hit him hard!" Kevin Durant said. When Xie Chen announced his retirement after winning the championship, Durant was really reluctant to Xie Chen. Durant felt that Xie Chen was too good at stealing the limelight, and he even wondered if Xie Chen did it on purpose.

Seeing how nervous Xie Chen was, Stephen Curry said with a smile: "Now the media and fans are regretting Xie's departure, and everyone is expressing their love and respect to him. His status seems to have risen a lot because of this. If I had known that announcing his retirement would increase his popularity and reputation, I would have done it too. In fact, there is a very simple way to bring the public back to calm, and we can do it in the next game."

"Oh? How?" Kevin Durant asked curiously.

Stephen Curry said: "A big lead in three quarters made the game lose suspense and let everyone see that the Lakers and Warriors are completely different teams. It also made them realize that the Lakers can't beat us in the playoffs. Since the Lakers can't win the championship, then naturally Xie will not be able to retire. Since he continues to play in the league, who would show such reluctance to Xie?"
