Super all-around point guard

Chapter 85 Scarlett's Personal Trainer
Early the next morning, the entire Heat team flew back to Miami, but Xie Chen did not go with his teammates this time. At one point, the teammates wondered if Xie Chen was going to play in the gym again. Xie Chen shook his head and chuckled, expressing that he would definitely not do this again in a short time.

He doesn't want to go back. One reason is that the team will return to the Northwest Division to play against the Jazz in two days, and he doesn't want to make any more trouble.The most important reason is that no one in Miami is waiting for him. Wade and Bosh's family members are waiting for them to go back to reunite. Xie Chen's parents are in New York, and Miami has no wife or children. What does it matter if he goes back or not?

In addition, since the start of the season, the Heat have played 22 games. Xie Chen is physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to take this opportunity to relax. By the way, he had a quiet time and thought about something. He asked Coach Spoel for instructions. Coach Spoel also agreed to Xie Chen's request. The core of a team is still the core of the rookie period. Compared with training with the team, perhaps the environment of one person is better for his state.

Saying goodbye to all the Heat teammates, Xie Chen didn't stop in Denver, and went straight to the city where the team's next opponent is located, Utah, Salt Lake City.

Denver and Salt Lake City are two famous cities in the Midwest of the United States. Their geographical locations are like Chengdu and Kunming in China. Xie Chen arrived at Salt Lake City International Airport after only an hour's flight. It is still morning, which is the best time of the day, but Xie Chen, who is alone in Salt Lake City, has no interest at all.

Where should I go?Looking at the couples at the airport, Xie Chen felt even more uncomfortable. He is now a "successful person" after all, why doesn't he have a girlfriend?Think about it carefully, no, who said he doesn't have a girlfriend, isn't Scarlett?This is her own admission!
Xie Chen immediately dialed Scarlett's phone: "Honey, where are you?"

Scarlett over there paused for five seconds before replying, "Did you take the wrong medicine today? Why do you speak so eccentrically? I'm in LA."

It's not surprising that Scarlett had this kind of reaction. After all, this is the first time Xie Chen called Scarlett like that. To be precise, he was teasing: "I'm in Salt Lake City. I'm at the airport right now. It's not far from your place. Come and find me."

Scarlett has been paying attention to the Heat's schedule, so she knows that Xie Chen's next match will be in Salt Lake City, but there are still nearly two days before the game day. Why is Xie Chen there so early?Scarlett was puzzled, "Is there something important that you called me over?"

"It's very important, Miss Actress." Xie Chen said seriously.

"what's up?"

"Play with me."

Scarlett had the urge to smash the phone, but then she laughed out loud. Speaking of which, this was the first time Xie Chen invited Scarlett to meet. It happened that Scarlett had no work today, so she agreed to Xie Chen's invitation, and immediately took the nearest flight to Salt Lake City.

When she arrived at the airport, Scarlett covered herself tightly, with a baseball cap, black sunglasses, a mask, and a black coat, so Xie Chen didn't recognize her.

"Hey!" After Xie Chen waited at the airport for two and a half hours, a woman suddenly patted himself from behind.

Xie Chen glanced at Scarlett, who was carefully disguised, and exclaimed, "Isn't your outfit too exaggerated? I didn't cover it up very much. Few people could recognize me in these two hours."

Scarlett said lightly: "This can only prove that you are too unknown, you can't experience the pain of a superstar."

Xie Chen shrugged and walked out of the airport lobby with her one after the other, but Scarlett went straight to the parking lot. Only then did Xie Chen know that Salt Lake City had already had a driver waiting here for a long time. From this point of view, Scarlett's words just now were not too much. A big star is indeed a big star.

Xie Chen and Scarlett went to the Great Salt Lake, which is also the most attractive tourist attraction in Salt Lake City, and this place is also suitable for Xie Chenjing to think about something quietly. Passing through Salt Lake City, he traveled along the Great Salt Lake, which has a salt content seven times higher than that of sea water. Along the way, there are vast grasslands and galloping cattle and sheep.Standing on the shore of the salt lake, there is a magnificent scene in front of you. The blue lake light and the mountains in the distance complement each other, and the colors are bright and fascinating.

In this beauty, Xie Chen stared into the distance in a daze for half an hour.

Wrapped in a black coat, Scarlett, who is more handsome than a man, smoked two cigarettes during this period, and was alone in a daze for a while. In the end, she couldn't help it. She took off her high heels, and kicked Xie Chen's ass lightly with her pink and tender feet like a girl: "Is there any end? You called me from more than 600 miles away just to let me stand here with you stupidly? What's on your mind as a child, why are you thinking about it for so long?"

Xie Chen came back to his senses. In the half hour just now, Xie Chen didn’t really think about anything deliberately, but pictures kept popping up in his mind. There was the scene where Xie Chen hit the first three-pointer against Curry for the first time, Xie Chen assisted Bosh for a game-winning shot, Xie Chen used Rose’s skills for a layup, and yesterday’s game-winning shot...

Since the start of the game, Xie Chen can be said to be going smoothly. His reputation has risen and he has become the best rookie. The team has not lost a single game, but for some reason, Xie Chen always feels flustered and melancholy from time to time. Maybe it is because of the tense relationship with Bosh, or because it all happened too fast, making Xie Chen unbearable for a while.

Xie Chen stretched out his hand and patted Scarlett's tender feet, and heard a slap. He laughed and said, "You have been in the entertainment industry since you were a child. Of course you don't know what we think about those of us who have worked so hard to qualify for the stage. I don't worry about it. I just feel that everything is different from what I imagined. Before, I thought basketball was too simple. I thought that there were only talents, hard work, and skills in basketball. Now I know how much pressure I have to bear as a professional basketball player, let alone thanks to you." , I’m still a well-known basketball player.”

Scarlett withdrew her feet, sighed, and said: "You just entered the NBA, and it is normal to be confused. You basketball players are not the same as our actors. Your career is too short, and you may only be able to maintain your peak state for a few years. This requires you to cherish and work harder than others every day. There are more than 400 people in the NBA. Not everyone is as lucky as you."

"Yeah, I'm really lucky." If Xie Chen didn't have the basketball replication system, maybe he would still be a substitute player with an average of less than 10 points per game?
"Shall we take a photo together?" Scarlett took the initiative to take out her mobile phone. Xie Chen stood behind him and smiled at the camera. This smile remained in the Great Salt Lake along with the green reeds on the shore, the snow-white salt-alkali beach and the blue water of the lake.

Maybe it's because he doesn't have a family, which makes Xie Chen worry about gains and losses, but today was lucky to be accompanied by Scarlett. After leaving the Great Salt Lake, at night, Scarlett asked the driver to buy a basketball. Scarlett took the basketball and took Xie Chen to an empty basketball court, and then threw the ball to Xie Chen: "Teach me how to play basketball, I want to learn your folding layup!"

Xie Chen laughed out loud, you can't do Rose's layup with such a rich body, but Xie Chen still demonstrated a standard three-step layup for her very seriously.

"It looks very simple, and I can do it."

Scarlett took over the basketball and imitated Xie Chen's layup moves. She could dribble the ball, but her bounce was really mediocre. Every time she made a layup, the basketball couldn't reach the basket, at most it hit the basket.

"You can't jump high, so can't you throw it higher? Hit the backboard, not the rim." Seeing Scarlett's failed layup several times in a row, Xie Chen couldn't help reprimanding her.

Scarlett was obviously a little upset, she didn't like her stupid look: "Don't be angry with me! I know how to do it! Just watch, I will succeed this time!"

Scarlett took the basketball to the half court, took a long breath, and rushed to the basket again in one go!
The key for beginners to practice three-step layups is "one big, two small and three high jumps". The first step starts with a fast step with a large range. The second step is a small step, which is used to adjust the body to reduce the forward momentum and prepare for the next step. In the third high jump, the body jumps upwards with force, and the arms are relaxed. The big arm drives the forearm upward to hold the ball in.

Xie Chen has told Scarlet all these skills, but knowing is easier than doing, especially since Scarlett is already past her best physical condition, it is even more difficult for her, but Xie Chen knows that with Scarlett's stubborn character, she will never give up if she doesn't make a successful layup.

"Forget it, I'll help you!"

As Xie Chen said, at the moment when Scarlett layup and jumped, she rushed forward quickly and jumped up too!

Scarlett only felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and then felt someone supporting her body!
Xie Chen held Scarlett up in the air, and Scarlett seemed to be flying, and her height instantly rose to a higher level!
Scarlett screamed in fright, but at this time she couldn't help completing the layup action. This time, the basketball finally hit the backboard high, and then hit the backboard into the basket.

"Yeah! The ball has been scored! I have made progress!" Scarlett jumped up excitedly, like a little girl.

Xie Chen also gave her a high-five stupidly. At this moment, Xie Chen felt that the two of them were like Haruko Akagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi who were specially trained on the outdoor basketball court in "Slam Dunk".

"Oh, that feeling is so cool. The moment you entrusted me, I felt like flying! I want it! I want it! Let's continue like this!" Scarlett pulled Xie Chen's arm excitedly, like a little girl asking for candy from an adult.

Xie Chen looked at Scarlett, who already had a goal for the next "assist and layup", and said with a smile: "It's my honor, Miss Johnson, let's continue practicing, I will continue to let you experience the feeling of flying!"
