This July in the offseason, for people in the NBA league, is destined to make NBA players unable to enjoy the vacation with peace of mind, especially in the last two days, a series of blockbuster trade news, first with the championship Xie Chen transferred to the bottom team of the West Los Angeles Lakers, and then, Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors, who already have a luxury squad.

Now, the focus of the discussion has been entirely on Durant and the Warriors, and Durant's approach has also been criticized by a considerable number of people, no less than James and Wadebosh formed the Big Three.

In fact, Durant has been in the Thunder for nine years, with the league's most powerful assistant Wei Shao, still unable to win the championship, he has no patience to choose to leave, everyone can accept it, the only thing that is not accepted is to choose to join the Warriors, everyone thinks that Durant is a self-surrendering identity, because the Warriors have an MVP Curry, Durant is destined to be the second or even the third, fortunately, in the playoffs, the Thunder was defeated by the Spurs in the tie-breaker, if the Thunder passed the Spurs, lost to the Warriors, Joining the Warriors again will be scolded even more, at least James didn't choose to join the opponent who defeated him back then.

Durant's decision was destined to be criticized, and he also mustered up a lot of courage to make the decision, and he had to do it for the sake of the championship.

Since Xie Chen and Durant made decisions one after another, James is now the focus of everyone's attention, because he is also a free agent now, and he has the right to choose other teams.

James came to Xie Chen's training hall, wearing a black T-shirt, red shorts, and basketball shoes, looking like he wanted to play with Xie Chen, he called Xie Chen from afar: "Hey, you look tired." ”

When Xie Chen saw James coming, he let the sparring players around him spread out and rest for a while, first threw a bottle of water to James, then took a bottle for himself, took a sip and said: "I really need some motivation to train in the offseason, and I will be tired after playing for a while." ”

"Hahaha." James smiled, sat down with Xie Chen, and said, "When you think of those Warriors guys, I think you'll be motivated." ”

James originally regarded Xie Chen as the number one enemy, because this rookie prevented him from entering the Finals for two consecutive years, but now that Xie Chen has gone to the West, and the Warriors have recruited Durant again, Xie Chen's situation is a hundred times worse than him, and James has some sympathy for Xie Chen.

James took a sip of water and said: "I've heard about you and KD, the Lakers originally wanted to put you together, but it seems that Kevin minds that Kate Upton is your fan, and the two of you are enemies as soon as you enter the league, and you shouldn't provoke him as soon as you enter the league." ”

Why did Durant abandon the Lakers and choose the Warriors, and now there are major versions in the circle, and everyone knows that Xie Chen and Durant have always been at odds, because Xie Chen just entered the league and provoked Durant, in fact, Xie Chen does not hate Durant, on the contrary, he likes this guy very much, Xie Chen also personally explained to Durant that it was not his intention, but unfortunately until now, the misunderstanding between the two has not been resolved.

Xie Chen said: "Those words were asked by my current wife to tell me, I have no regrets about it, I can only say that we have no fate." ”

James wondered, how could Katie also have a grudge against Durant? There are also Scarlett Johansson, Kate Upton, and James can't help but feel that the circle of these people is really messy......

James said: "I had a phone call with Cameron recently, and after you left, the Knicks got D'Angelo Russell, but they seem to be in contact with the Chicago Bulls and want to get Derrick Rose. ”

Xie Chen nodded: "Russell still needs time to grow, Rose can make them competitive in these two years, it seems that the Knicks will still be your fierce rival in the East." ”

James smiled, he really wanted to say, as long as there is no you Xie Chen in the east, he James will not pay attention to anyone.

The two chatted for a while, and James suddenly got up and said, "I'm going to leave Los Angeles by plane in a few hours, come on, I'll practice with you for a while, what are you training?" ”

Xie Chen knew that James was very interested in his own affairs, especially in his usual training, Xie Chen did not hide it, pointed to the sparring players next to him, and said: "I practiced the offense when two or three people defended, so I found a lot of people." ”

James nodded and said: "Well, in the playoffs, you will definitely still be surrounded by opponents, you don't have a strong opponent now, blindly choosing to divide the ball, and not ensuring victory, you should strengthen some offense, come on, count me in, I'll defend you!" ”

"Great, don't be merciful." Xie Chen was overjoyed, James represents the highest level of defense in the league, and having such a person as a sparring partner will definitely have an effect on Xie Chen's process.

James spared no effort, saying that he would really do his best to help Xie Chen, and he also imitated the coach to analyze the defensive mode that the other party would give him for Xie Chen, watching James pointing out the country there, Xie Chen also thought he was very cool.

They practiced a lot of defensive styles, first guarding Xie Chen's outside shots.

James and a sparring partner, two people wrap Xie Chen, Xie Chen has to complete the outside shooting basket under the defense of the two, Xie Chen has Michael Jordan's backward jump shooting ability, at least to ensure that the shot is not covered under the defense of the two, but if you want to hit the basketball, you still have to have space to shoot, in the face of a person's speed and footsteps, and in the face of two people's pace and breakthrough is completely different, Xie Chen has to study hard.

After that, it was to train Xie Chen to play under the basket under the defense of multiple people.

Syllable!

As soon as Xie Chen broke through to the basket, he was "cut across the board" by James, and as soon as he used his hand, he cut off Xie Chen's ball, which actually touched Xie Chen's hand slightly, James smiled and said to Xie Chen: "You know, in the playoffs, this kind of ball won't blow." ”

Xie Chen nodded, James also felt that Xie Chen's challenge now was too difficult and too difficult, when all the defense was focused on you, it was not easy to rush inside, and it was not easy to protect the ball in the crowd, and a careless ball would be cut off. Even if it wasn't broken, how could you score a goal under the defense of so many people?

Xie Chen used James's layup ability both times, with strength and confrontation, but he could only squeeze one person in the air, and the layup after squeezing away would still be capped by the second person.

With Rose's layup ability, the result is even worse, what folding layups, under the defense of so many people, will only be capped, ten times may be able to make a difficult layup.

Therefore, Michael Jordan's super layup ability has become very important to Xie Chen at present, in the first two seasons, Xie Chen was able to win the championship just by relying on James's layup ability and Rose's layup ability, but next season, it is absolutely impossible.

Watching Xie Chen being broken again and again, and being hatted again and again, James seems to have seen the scene of Xie Chen being cut off by Iguodala and being chased by Durant when he played against the Warriors, looking at Xie Chen, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xie is really pitiful, because women and Durant have become enemies, the Warriors will definitely completely suppress Xie, next season, no, unless he chooses to go back to the East in the next few years, otherwise there will be no chance in the West, I thought Xie would rule this league, but I didn't expect Kevin Durant to be so ruthless...... I don't know if the conversation between us affected him......"

As early as when Xie Chen started his Asian tour, James summoned Durant and the others to Los Angeles and talked about the plan to deal with Xie Chen, and now Durant directly chose the most domineering way, joined the Warriors, and crushed Xie Chen to death in the West, thinking of this, James couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Xie Chen.

The two trained for a while, and Xie Chen also served as James's sparring partner for a while, and also asked James to try the feeling of forcing offense under multiple defenses, and after playing a few times, James wiped his sweat and said: "I think if it is Kobe Bryant, he will definitely like this kind of training very much." It's almost time, it's time for me to go. ”

Before leaving, James looked at this junior who had already won 2 championships and 2 FMVPs in hand, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "Xie, do you know how you got into the NBA?" ”

Xie Chen looked at James who was sweating profusely and didn't speak.

James smiled and continued: "There may be a lot of people who tell you that Pat Riley has taken a fancy to your mature style of play, and you can immediately provide fighting power for this team and so on, but I tell you, you can be selected to join the Miami Heat in that position, in fact, because of me, I selected you to the Heat." At that time, Pat Riley knew that I was leaving, and everything was pleasing me, and Riley did appreciate you, but he wanted to choose someone else, but I told him that you had to choose Chris Shea, and Chris Shea was the best choice for the 2014 rookie point guard, and then he chose you, and I still think back to that time to this day, and I don't know why I insisted that you would be the best. ”

Xie Chen did not doubt the authenticity of this statement, because at that time, James said more than once that Xie Chen was his favorite player in that rookie, you know, at that time, Xie Chen had not yet obtained the basketball replication system!

So Xie Chen is quite grateful to James, and the first person he follows on Twitter is James.

If James hadn't gone then, I don't know what the league would be like now...... With Xie Chen and James' super personal strength, I am afraid that they will not be able to be in the same team, and they will have long been separated now.

Xie Chen also sighed with emotion, and finally said, "Thank you for choosing me." But I still have to tell you, I will be your biggest opponent, next year's Finals, the East believes it must be your team, and it is not the Golden State Warriors who will meet you, but our Los Angeles Lakers! ”

James was also shocked by Xie Chen's great self-confidence, he didn't understand why Xie Chen still had such strong self-confidence until now, the Warriors were not something that the Lakers could fight against at all, Xie Chen should know...... Or is this just talking?

After separating from Xie Chen, James kept recalling what Xie Chen said, and the confidence revealed in Xie Chen's eyes told him that Xie Chen had a way to deal with that invincible team.

"Could it be that this guy Xie still has any abilities that he hasn't revealed? But he's been playing for two seasons! What kind of person is this! The more James thought about it, the more he felt incomprehensible, he wanted to find out what kind of person Xie Chen was.

Suddenly, he said to his assistant, "We're not going back to Cleveland, help me book a plane ticket to New York right away!" ”

He believed that Xie Chen must not be comfortable in his heart when he left the New York Knicks, and maybe he could get a little bit of Xie Chen's little secret from the Zen master...... Of course, Pat Riley might know something, but James would never want to talk to that guy......

Less than ten minutes after James left, another guest came to Xie Chen's training hall, the new coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and former assistant coach of the Warriors, Luke Walton.

"Hey, thank you, you've trained so hard, and you're a role model for the team!" Luke Walton stepped forward with a smile, Xie Chen is now the team's only trump card, and Wharton, as the head coach, has to please Xie Chen, and the relationship between the two directly affects the future of the Lakers this season.

Xie Chen was also pleasantly surprised to see Wharton, the two had met many times before, but this was the first time Wharton took the initiative to find Xie Chen, Xie Chen smiled: "It's unfortunate that you came, LeBron James just left." ”

Wharton said, "Actually, I came a long time ago, and when I saw that you were having a good conversation, I didn't come to disturb me." ”

It turned out that Wharton specially waited for James to leave before appearing, and as the head coach, it was still very surprising for Xie Chen to do so.

"The Warriors have a luxury roster that we're going to face in our first season with the Lakers, and I know you're going to be anxious right now, and I'm here to tell you that I, along with our entire coaching staff and players, will be with you on this big challenge," Wharton said. ”

Xie Chen shook hands with Wharton gratefully, and said: "My intuition tells me that you will be a good coach, and you will be a great coach, in my first two years, I have not met a coach who can be called a great coach, only great presidents, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson are masters, but their apprentices Spoelstra and Fisher's abilities are very average, you are different, I am very optimistic about you!" ”

Wharton didn't expect Xie Chen to praise himself so much! The relationship between the coach and the ace was established in an instant, Wharton thought that Xie Chen would be so arrogant and maverick would be difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect things to progress so easily, and he was in the mood to pull Xie Chen for a drink at the moment.

Wharton also happily held Xie Chen's hand tightly, and then asked: "Xie, you have the absolute right to dominate the ball in this team, I won't interfere too much with you, I will only help you better, I know that Kevin this guy will never enter the finals because of the two women who said that you will never enter the finals if you are suppressed in the West, and I will help you win them!" But before that, I want you to tell me, how far can you go next season? What other abilities do you have that you haven't shown, only if I know you well enough, I can use the strength of the whole team to help you to the maximum. (To be continued.) )
