Chapter 86
Basketball has this kind of magic power. I believe that everyone can enjoy the fun and joy that only belong to basketball lovers after they hit their first ball. Scarlett said in a sentence with a swear word that she really likes this kind of layup feeling. The first time she was picked up by Xie Chen, Scarlett was frightened and almost fell when she landed. After a few times, she completely adapted to Xie Chen’s strength.

Finally, Scarlett, who was dripping with sweat, couldn't hold on any longer, and sat on the ground, panting.

Xie Chen also sat next to her, and said with a smile: "You are too weak, Ms. Johnson, compared to you in "Super Body", your performance is simply unsightly. No wonder your marriage is not successful. I guess your performance is not satisfactory, right?"

Scarlett gave Xie Chen a blank look, and she no longer had the strength to punch and kick him again: "I didn't settle accounts with you just now, and now you dare to mock me! "Super Body" is a movie! If I am really as good as "Super Body", I will definitely join the NBA and go to the Heat to let you be my substitute. Haha, it's fun just thinking about it."

Xie Chen caressed his forehead, what kind of psychology is this...

After resting for about 10 minutes, Scarlett stood up and said goodbye to Xie Chen: "I'm going back to the hotel. I still have work in LA. I will leave Salt Lake City tomorrow morning. I wish you victory here."

At this time, Xie Chen felt a little bit reluctant. Then, she saw Scarlett take two steps and turned around again: "Do you know what Katie is doing now? She has entered ESPN as an intern. I guess she may soon become the host of FirstTake."

Scarlett left after finishing speaking. Xie Chen, who was left alone on the court, felt uneasy. Why did Katie go to ESPN, why did she go to First Take?Is it because of... yourself?

Xie Chen didn't have much time to deal with emotional matters. The schedule of the regular season was so dense that Xie Chen had no time to think about anything other than basketball. After Xie Chen woke up the next day, he trained on the outdoor basketball court alone.

The Utah Jazz is the 18th team in the NBA. The first player they got was "Pistol" Maravich. This man can be called the originator of freestyle basketball, and he is definitely worthy of worship by point guards of Xie Chen's generation, but he is an out-and-out tragic figure.

Although he brought a gorgeous style of play into the NBA and deeply influenced future generations, his talent was not recognized by the league. Although he was an excellent long-range shooter like Xie Chen, the NBA did not use the three-point line until his last two seasons, and his shooting percentages were 63.5% and 75%.

He once said: "I don't want to play basketball for 10 years and then die of a heart attack at 40."

However, coincidentally, in 1988, he really died of a heart attack in a three-on-three basketball game. That year, he happened to be 40 years old.

When he came to the Energy Solutions Arena of the Utah Jazz, Xie Chen also took a special look at the retired Maravich jersey hanging above the arena. Of course, he also saw two names, Stockton and Karl Malone.

Today's Jazz team is definitely not the Jazz team that resounded through the league back then, so Xie Chen will easily take a victory here.

This is the smoothest and most hearty game the Heat have played this season!Maybe it's because this is the last road trip, all the Heat's generals held back their strength and released it fiercely on the court.

Eight Heat players scored in double figures, leading the Jazz by as much as 25 points in the third quarter alone!In the fourth quarter, Xie Chen and the main players didn't play at all. In the end, the Heat ended the battle happily with a high score of 125:105, officially announcing the arrival of 23 consecutive victories!
Xie Chen didn't dare to challenge the Lakers' long-lost record of 33 consecutive victories, but he must challenge James' record of 27 consecutive victories!From the moment James left and Xie Chen became the new giant of the Heat, Xie Chen took on the responsibilities that James once assumed. It is inevitable to compare the two together. He must prove to the world that he is stronger than James!

It is not easy to break the 27-game winning streak. The next battle is a battle that may be ended, because the opponent has a guy with the same ability as Xie Chen and more experience, Derrick Rose!

This battle is definitely the matchup that fans want to see the most, especially the contest between Xie Chen and Rose. Both of them like to pull the bar and fold for layups.

At present, the support rate of the two is evenly divided. Those who support Xie Chen are undoubtedly shocked by Xie Chen's recent performance. The scoring champion is not a good name, but Rose has a larger fan base after all, and his strength is obvious to all. Therefore, many people support Rose, and they are more optimistic that Rose can end the Heat.

The overwhelming discussion made Xie Chen breathless, but at this time, Xie Chen was not only worried about the confrontation with Rose, but another thing was even more important than the confrontation with Rose: the All-Star voting began!

The All-Star Game is the heyday of the NBA, and it is also a place for players to show their status and popularity. Only when Xie Chen appears there and is a starter can he be proven to be a superstar. Otherwise, it will be useless even if he leads the team to win consecutive victories.

There are quite a few players who were selected as All-Stars in their rookie season, such as Baylor, Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, O’Neal, Yao Ming, etc. With Xie Chen’s current performance and the team’s results, it stands to reason that being selected as an All-Star is not a big problem, but Xie Chen can’t be too optimistic. You must know that when James was a rookie year, his jersey was the league’s best-selling jersey. Not even a substitute!
Also tragic is his good brother Anthony. Both of them were so angry that James said directly to the media: "Since I was not selected in the first round, I will not replace those who were injured, because I don't like the feeling of being pitiful!"

Anthony was even worse, saying directly: "Look for a substitute to compete, don't look for me!"

However, if this happened to Xie Chen, Xie Chen would not refuse anyone, no matter how he was selected, he will let you see who is the real All-Star!
Of course, if possible, no one would want to be selected into the All-Star team in this way, so he desperately hoped that he could get a higher number of votes. Wang Zhihui also immediately posted a content on weibo to ask for votes for Xie Chen, hoping that the fans in the mainland would be more supportive and support him like Yao Ming.

The results of the first round of voting will be announced on December 12, and on that day, the Heat happened to face the Cleveland Cavaliers!This is definitely a game everyone wants to see!Xie Chen will have the opportunity to have a formal dialogue with James soon, just this month.

Finally at night, at the American Airlines Arena, Xie Chen was doing warm-up exercises. At this time, Kobe’s fadeaway jumper skill integration had increased to 95%, and Westbrook’s defensive skills had also increased to 66%. After playing the Jazz, the system points had accumulated to 260 points, and there were still 240 points left before the next copy permission was opened.

"Hey, buddy, long time no see." Derrick Rose, the star of the Bulls on an away visit, had just entered the gym. Instead of busy warming up and practicing shooting, he ran over to say hello to Xie Chen. After saying hello to Xie Chen, he greeted Wade and Bosh.

"Long time no see, D-ROSE, I finally see you come back to play. If you keep getting hurt because of me, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be selected as a substitute for this All-Star team. Your fans will collectively block me." Xie Chen joked.

Ross laughed: "I know, I know some of my fans have bothered you and said some nasty things on your Twitter account, and I'm sorry for that. But you obviously stole something from me with that visit, didn't you?"

"I don't deny it." Xie Chen said straightforwardly, "I did imitate you."

Ross nodded: "Then do you know that imitators can never surpass the original?"

"I don't think so, buddy. If you don't believe me, you can try it. I promise you can do the moves you can do!" Xie Chen said confidently.

Rose smiled: "Then you have to open your eyes to see clearly."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the half court where his team practiced to practice shooting, and the game began immediately.

On the other side of the ocean, there are also countless fans watching the game in front of mobile phones, computers, and TVs. This game was broadcast on CCTV, and the guest commentators talked about Yang Jian and Su Qun respectively.

As soon as they came up, the two looked very excited. Yang Jian said: "23 consecutive victories! The Heat have created a historic start! And the person who led this achievement is actually a Chinese of yellow race! Can you believe it? Can you believe it?"

Su Qun laughed twice: "Haha, that's right, it's quite surprising. Xie Chen's performance can be said to have shocked the Americans. They will think that you are so yellow, how can you jump so fast? How is your waist and abdomen ability so good? How is your learning ability so good? And I read some articles by American basketball commentators. Most of them think that Xie Chen is still hiding it, and has not used many powerful tricks yet."

"Haha, I think so too. I don't know if Xie Chen will use it in this game against the Chicago Bulls. However, even if it's just a layup, this game is very interesting, because Xie Chen and Rose are currently the strongest layup masters in the league!" Yang Jian said excitedly.
