Chapter 407: Ci Shiping's classic pants off!
Porzingis played the best game of his career, with mid-range shots, violent dunks, strategies and defense, I remember when the Knicks selected him in the draft, many fans were disappointed, and even a child covered his head with his hands and couldn't believe that the Knicks actually chose him, people are still worried that he is too thin as an insider, and it turns out that he still has a tough side.
Since the regular season, Porzingis has beaten James, almost dunked the league's top power forwards, dunked Aldridge after Lefou, and just barely deducted Downs, many people are surprised that he can do such a thing.
Maybe it's because he is not favored by too many people, so Porzingis is holding his breath in his heart, vowing to prove his worth and prove Phil's vision, Xie Chen appreciates him very much, but because Porzingis doesn't like to talk very much, the two have not had too in-depth communication so far.
What Xie Chen needs is a teammate who can play super combat power this season, because he is going to compete for the championship this season, so he feels that Porzingis, a guy who needs to grow, can't bring much help to Xie Chen, if Porzingis is really that strong, perhaps, it will really be an unexpected surprise.
The Knicks played the Timberwolves, which can be said to be a hanging, leading by nearly 20 points in the third quarter, and at this time, Mr. Ci Shiping, who had not appeared on the court for a long time, finally tightened his pants and appeared.
At the scene, he still gave him a lot of applause.
Ci Shiping stretched out his hand and smiled to respond to the fans, he loves the place in New York too much, and he loves the current team lineup too much, especially the first time he was a teammate with Xie Chen, he felt a lot, and Xie Chen's performance just now shocked Ci Shiping. Although he had known Xie Chen's strength for a long time, he always had a different feeling as a teammate.
"This team can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals!" Ci Shiping said secretly in his heart.
However, because he had to be Xie Chen's sparring partner every night for the past few days, and he was still a sparring partner, what made Ci Shiping strange was that Xie Chen's strength was increasing day by day. Ci Shiping also had some muscle soreness, and the worst thing was sleepiness, and the excitement of playing for the first time couldn't hide this exhaustion.
After people don't get enough sleep, they are prone to mania, not to mention the guy like Ci Shiping who was sent to the anger abstinence center for treatment when he was a minor, so when he was defending, Ci Shiping moved bigger, and when he grabbed the rebound, he put his arm against the rookie Downs. When the rebound was about to fall, he gave it to the opponent first, and then got up to grab the rebound, but the referee didn't see it and didn't blow it.
But Downs was furious, and he spewed trash talk at Ci Shiping, who suddenly became even more angry when he saw that even a rookie rookie dared to provoke him. The original manic mood was immediately vented, and everyone took a look. The scene seems to be out of control, Ci Shiping wants to teach this rookie champion a lesson!
Ci Shiping wants to fight, who can stop him? Everyone had a bad premonition, but at this time, Xie Chen walked up and just glanced at Ci Shiping. Ci Shiping, who was about to swing his fist, actually stepped back!
"Just ...... That's what's going on! Garnett, the wolf king, also stepped forward, and was still thinking about persuasion, but he didn't expect Ci Shiping to suddenly give up by himself.
Garnett didn't understand, as if Xie Chen glared at Ci Shiping, and Ci Shiping obediently admitted it. This is simply amazing, who is Ci Shiping? When Ci Shiping wanted to fight, Kobe Bryant had to stand aside, first, he was too lazy to care, and second, he couldn't take care of it, but why did Xie Chen make Ci Shiping so obedient?
Anthony and Fisher were also shocked in their hearts, they both knew Ci Shiping too well, since joining the Knicks in the past two days, Ci Shiping's performance was too abnormal, too friendly and too regular, just saw the familiar Ci Shiping, but was stunned by Xie Chen's eyes.
Fisher thought to himself: "It can be seen that Xie can completely control Ci Shiping, it is incredible, if this is really the case, it is really good for the team!" ”
An obedient beast is a great blessing for any team.
Soon it was the fourth quarter, which was a rare game in which the Knicks' main team did not play in the fourth quarter, the benches played very hard, and Ci Shiping did not get much playing time, until the Knicks led by 30 points, Ci Shiping was sent back on the court.
Before Ci Shiping came on the court, seeing that Downs was still on the court, Xie Chen did not forget to tell or threaten the other party: "Don't fight, concentrate on playing." ”
Ci Shiping smiled and said, "How can such a friendly person as me start beating people?" Rest assured. ”
Anthony, who was next to him, was still very unaccustomed to seeing Ci Shiping's smiling face towards Xie Chen, and bumped Xie Chen's shoulder: "Do you have his handle in your hand and share it with me." ”
After Ci Shiping came on the court, he got a lot of shooting opportunities, especially three-point shots, but unfortunately, all of them didn't hit, although Ci Shiping said that he had training, but the level still dropped a lot, but Ci Shiping felt that he repeatedly missed shots because of accompanying Xie Chen.
As for Downs, Ci Shiping still didn't like it, Downs didn't give up the game, he kept chasing points, and in the blink of an eye, the difference was chased back to 20 points.
Ci Shiping couldn't stand it anymore, and went to defend Downs in person, the Timberwolves sent a throw-in, Downs was about to catch the ball, and when he saw that it was Ci Shiping who came to defend himself, Downs chuckled: "With your height, do you think you can stop me?" Listen, I'll catch the ball in that position later, and then hit a three-pointer straight away, and you can cover me if you have the ability, or, choose a malicious foul, but I think your boss will be unhappy. ”
Tang Si also saw Xie Chen's majesty in the team, although he didn't understand why, but he still stimulated Ci Shiping, and the anger in Ci Shiping's heart was so sarcastic by a first-year rookie! This guy is so inadequate!
However, he had already promised Xie Chen not to use force, but Xie Chen held Ci Shiping's biggest handle in his hand, and Ci Shiping didn't dare to mess around.
"Think I can't stop you if I don't hit you? Rookie! Ci Shiping snorted coldly, he wanted to stop this champion in another way, so that he could clearly understand what the NBA is!
The Timberwolves were about to send a sideline ball, and Towns was already in a position to stretch out his long arm, and Ci Shiping was close to him, but because of the height difference, it looked like it was laborious.
Ci Shiping used his body to carry Downs, and Downs couldn't move. He didn't want to go any further, because of his absolute height advantage, he directly signaled to his teammates, let him pass it like this, just with Ci Shiping's current bounce, he can't break the pass at this height.
The teammates didn't hesitate either. Throw directly in the direction of the Downs.
At this time, Ci Shiping suddenly said to Downs: "Welcome to the NBA." ”
Tang Si was stunned for a moment, and at the same time as Ci Shiping spoke, Ci Shiping's right hand moved underneath, and he actually took off Tang Si's shorts!
Downs looked panicked like a rude little girl, how could he care to catch the ball? Hurriedly protected the bottom with both hands, and Ci Shiping had already stolen the pass, and then, like a tank, advanced to the empty frontcourt. Violent buckle succeeds.
The audience laughed, and Xie Chen shook his head helplessly.
Ci Shiping was very excited, and after scoring the goal, he kept waving his arms, and Downs lifted his pants and walked to the referee: "This is not a foul?" ”
The referee was also very embarrassed, Ci Shiping started too fast, and he didn't see it at all!
In fact, this is already Ci Shiping's old method. Once, Ci Shiping did such a move to Paul Pearce. When defending in the restricted area, he ripped off Pierce's shorts, but I didn't expect that many years later, this scene would have appeared in the NBA arena again, presumably, if it weren't for Ci Shiping's return. Such a picture may not be seen for many years.
Downs is no longer obsessed, and asks to be replaced, he can't play with this group of old hooligans, it's too bad.
Xie Chen has also begun to fantasize. If the playoffs really play against the Cavaliers, what kind of absurd plot will be staged when Ci Shiping defends James, I hope James can be a little mentally prepared......
The game ended without suspense, the Knicks finally beat the Timberwolves by more than 30 points, Ci Shiping scored 7 points in the first game of his return, and he was very satisfied.
The reporter asked Xie Chen: "You only scored more than 20 points today, but you have 14 assists, and you didn't even make a single three-point shot, can it be said that your style of play is completely different from last season, or from the Chris Xie we knew in the past?" ”
Xie Chen was just about to answer, when he found that a mop had been dragged on his feet, and he was about to wonder which unprofessional staff member it was, and he found out that the person who mopped the floor was Ci Shiping......
The reporter also saw Ci Shiping, laughed, and continued to hand the microphone to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen glanced at Ci Shiping, who was working hard and stealing the show, and replied with a smile: "I can't say that, my only purpose is to win, as long as I can win, I can play as much as I want, just like today's game, I don't need to shoot so many threes, and I don't need to shoot so many times, I just want to ensure victory, and I haven't deliberately changed my style of play." ”
The reporter continued: "Then you know that Stephen Curry's three-point shot is already far ahead of you?" And with the current momentum, he could potentially break your single-season three-point record. ”
"Of course I know that." Xie Chen also revealed his appreciative gaze, "Stephen Curry has gone crazy this season, he will break records, I believe he can do it." ”
As soon as the reporter heard Xie Chen do this, he obviously didn't want to compete with Curry for this three-point shooting record, and it is no wonder that Curry is best at three-point shots, and he only has three-point shots, and Xie Chen has too many weapons, he doesn't need to rely so much on long-range shots.
The reporter said: "The next game is at home against the Warriors, they are the number one team in the West, and so far, they haven't lost a game, can you give them a loss?" ”
Xie Chen nodded confidently: "Of course, we will win, wait and see." ”
……
Golden State Warriors Training Gym, Oakland, California.
On one side of the basketball court, Stephen Curry was dominating the half court alone, shooting back and forth from various positions outside the three-point line, tirelessly, even if his training uniform was soaked with sweat.
Stephen Curry is very focused, even on the training court, Iguodala, Green, and Klay Thompson can see that Curry is very serious and cares about the next game against the Knicks.
Last season, the Golden State Warriors achieved the best record in the league, but lost to the Heat led by Xie Chen, although it was a defeat to the Heat, but now there is no sense of revenge against the Heat, and they have also won the Heat with a 27-point difference, for Stephen Curry, the real object of revenge is Xie Chen, who has joined the Knicks!
"Finally met him, I beat James Harden, I beat LeBron James, I beat CP3 and KD Westbrook, and that's just him."
The Warriors haven't lost a game until now, and Stephen Curry's performance is also shocking, making several three-pointers per game, and the ESPN host said that his long-range shooting has broken through the sky!
But Curry doesn't think he's the best long-range player in the league, and the Chinese player named Chris Shea has beaten him!
Not only in the three-point competition, but also the three-point goal in a single game, the number of three-point goals in the regular season, and the number of three-point goals in the playoffs, all lost to Xie Chen!
This season, it seems that he will easily defeat Xie Chen, but that Xie Chen doesn't want to compare with him, if Xie Chen wants to compare, Curry feels that he may lose to him!
Xie Chen left an indelible shadow in Curry's heart.
Just when everyone was training hard and preparing to fight Xie Chen, a person suddenly appeared in the arena, a familiar and strange person, their head coach Steve Cole.
Coach Kerr underwent two surgeries on his back in the offseason, and he decided to take an indefinite leave of absence until the start of the regular season, with Luke Wharton always coaching the team, and Kerr not even coming to the Warriors' gym often.
Draymond Green was suddenly startled and put down the basketball in his hand: "Coach, why are you here?" Is your back better? ”
Cole smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, it's much better." ”
Then, Kerr walked slowly over to Stephen Curry, who still didn't realize he was coming, watched Curry hit a three-pointer, and said, "Beautiful shot, Curry, your three-point shooting has reached the highest level of human beings ever." ”
Curry found out that Kerr had come to the training gym, and he was very excited at the moment, and Coach Kerr smiled and said to Curry: "The next game against the Knicks, I will go to New York with you." ”
All the Warriors players were overjoyed when they heard this, and Walton also stepped forward with a smile in his right hand pocket, and Curry was surprised: "Coach, didn't you say that you won't come back until after the All-Star Weekend?" How to ......"
Coach Kerr patted Curry on the shoulder and smiled: "You are the most incredible player I have ever coached, I have the responsibility to help you win the game you want to win, do a good job in the next game, that person will no longer be able to stop you!" (To be continued......)
