Chapter 772: Meet Karl Marlon Again!
Several NBA celebrities do not think that the Lakers can break last year's Warriors' regular season record, last year's Warriors from the main force to the bench, the lineup is very luxurious and reasonable, harmonious, the time and place are favorable, they have that result, this year's Lakers from the lineup, and last year's Warriors or 96 Bulls are too different.

In addition, Phil Jackson also said that they will not win the NBA championship in November, and the Lakers should focus more on the playoffs rather than chasing record-breaking, resulting in injuries to core players or other bad situations.
However, O'Neal is very optimistic about the Lakers' performance in the playoffs, because he predicts that Xie Chen still has the ability to hide, and this ability is absolutely extraordinary.
After this All-Star Game, O'Neal was even more convinced of this idea, and when he saw Xie Chen dunk and leave in a sports car early, O'Neal knew that Xie Chen was exactly the same person as himself, and he liked to pretend to be forced and had absolute strength.
O'Neal said: "I think I know Xie more and more, I began to know very well what kind of person he is, since he dared to come to the Lakers from the Knicks and challenge strong teams like the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs in the West, he must have something to rely on, in last year's slam dunk contest, we all felt that we had seen all of Xie's dunk strength, but this year, he made a 720-degree turn dunk!" So, he must have some tricks up his sleeve that he's going to use in the playoffs when the team is in trouble, and I can guarantee that this thing that I predicted will happen. ā
ā¦ā¦
After the All-Star break, the playoffs are getting closer and closer, and for teams that want to win the championship, this time will begin to consider the opponents of the playoffs, and all the teams in the West that are eligible for the playoffs are avoiding the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs.
However, the Warriors and Spurs are quite concerned about the Lakers, they want to get a better ranking, and it is best to steal the Lakers' first place in the West, but I don't know if Xie Chen will give it next?
At this stage, those teams ranked near the eighth position will start to play hard, while the teams in the first and second places will pay more attention to the physical condition of the players, start to play, and even slowly the main team will take turns to rest and focus on preparing for the playoffs.
Xie Chen is a person with a crazy obsession with records, of course, he wants to break last year's Warriors' record and finally win the championship, but he also knows how hard it will be to do it.
Fortunately, the Nets, the first opponent after the All-Star Game, will not bring much challenge to the Lakers, the Nets are also hopeless in the playoffs this season, and the competitiveness is not strong, it just so happens that Xie Chen also needs to rest, and it is more suitable to play the Nets in the first game after returning from vacation.
Xie Chen remembered that when he was in the New York Knicks last year, the first game after the All-Star Game was also against the Nets, and in that game, Xie Chen showed the hidden ability that he had been holding back for a long time, Carter's dunk ability, and directly leaped over the center of the Nets at that time, Bagnani, and afterwards Bagnani's model girlfriend was so angry that she pretended to be a hotel service staff to settle accounts with Xie Chen.
After being leaped over his head by Xie Chen, now Bagnani is no longer with the Nets, not even playing in the NBA, but going to play in Spain, and it is rumored that he and his beautiful young model girlfriend have also broken up.
Knowing this news, Xie Chen's mood was also sad...... I don't know if Bagnani was forced to go to Spain and broke up with his girlfriend, and if it had anything to do with him leaping by himself.
Xie Chen also decided not to insult any player in the future, especially players with low psychological tolerance, such as Dream Green, Noah, and Jason Terry, who still can't let go of the opportunity.
After the home win over the Nets, the Lakers' next opponent is the Celtics, the Celtics are not a team like the Nets that can't enter the playoffs, plus the Celtics want to strive for a good ranking in the East, so this game must be the first high-intensity game that the Lakers encounter after the All-Star Game, fortunately, it is also at home, Xie Chen doesn't have to think too much about physical fitness.
After the start of the game, Thomas Jr. played very excitedly, suddenly very fiercely, played very tough, could not only break through his own score, but also share the ball to his teammates, the Lakers played very passively, and the Celtics have been leading the score.
The crowd at home thought that this game might not be won, and even the Lakers players thought so, and the Celtics showed a desire to win. The hope is too strong, and the Lakers have only lost four games this season, which is a team that can lose, and psychologically they are not willing to fight like the Celtics.
Xie Chen's scoring is still very efficient, but little Thomas can always respond to Xie Chen, little Thomas is not tall, Xie Chen is very difficult to defend, especially when little Thomas is strong, you must pay great attention to controlling the strength when defending, otherwise it is easy to be blown for defensive fouls, if you accidentally use the power of Karl Malone, then little Thomas will definitely fly out directly.
In addition, the Celtics' Avery Bradley made 8 three-pointers in the third quarter, and only used 10 shots, and one person completely responded to Xie Chen on the three-point line, Xie Chen only shot 8 three-pointers in this game, and it took 12 shots.
At present, Xie Chen averages 6 three-pointers per game, Curry averages 5 three-pointers per game last season, and 402 of them broke the record throughout the season.
Seeing Bradley's brave play, the audience at the Lakers' home court was also helpless and a little admired.
"Why are all the people wearing the No. 0 jersey so **? Needless to say, Chris Shea, as well as Damion Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Andre Drummond, and this Bradley in front of him, when did No. 0 become the representative number of the strongest player? ā
"You don't think you don't think so, man, it's really like this, in addition to them, there is also Kevin Love is also No. 0, Jeff Tig was also this number when he was in the Eagles, before this, it seems that No. 3 is the most popular, D-Wade, CP3 and even T-AMC have also used No. 3, in some periods, using a certain number can really represent something, with the influence of Xie and Russell, there will definitely be more young people who choose the number 0 in the future."
No. 0 can be said to be the most popular number in the league now, and even gives people a feeling that as long as they see that it is No. 0, they will feel that the other party is very strong, especially after Xie Chen's success, the rookies in the past two years are particularly keen to choose No. 0, and they want to be as successful as Xie Chen.
Bradley played so well today that he felt more worthy of his number.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Celtics at home, and were defeated by the Celtics with crazy offense and defense in the fourth quarter.
After this battle, the Lakers also lost 5 games.
Three days later, the Lakers visited Salt Lake City, they have already lost a game, they don't want to lose in a row, they don't dare to break the 73-win record, but they still want to keep the first place in the West, after all, this means home court advantage in the playoffs.
It's not easy to play Jazz, because they are also a team competing for a playoff spot, every time they went to someone else's away game before, Xie Chen had to threaten the coach, but now everyone has become very serious, and they don't have the interest to make this kind of joke, and the Jazz don't have to worry about what kind of record Xie Chen will break here in the background, after all, at this time in the regular season, no one will be more nervous about Xie Chen's body than Luke Walton.
If you want to win, Xie Chen's score still has to be 30 points, and after scoring more than 30 points, Xie Chen started the plot of the Legend Challenge, he hasn't played the Legend Match for a long time, and he is still very excited.
The legendary team encountered this time is a strong team with Karl Malone and Stockton, when he met Karl Malone before, Xie Chen copied Karl Malone's fighting ability, Xie Chen still remembered that in order to replicate successfully, he also sacrificed his teammate Lopez, Lopez fought with Karl Malone in the legendary plot at that time, and was knocked to the ground by Karl Malone with a punch, although the skill was successfully copied, but Xie Chen has always felt guilty about his teammates, even if the damage in the legendary plot will not affect the real world, but that scene is too real, It's happening right in front of your eyes, and you can clearly see the blood in Lopez's mouth and his painful appearance.
At that time, after Karl Malone beat Lopez, he was sent off the court, and Xie Chen's fusion after copying was only 30%, even if Karl Malone was present, Xie Chen could not avenge his teammates.
If I meet again today, according to Xie Chen's personality of habitually avenging his teammates, it stands to reason that he should give Ma Long a punch, but if it weren't for the power of Carl Ma Long, Xie Chen would not have won in that brawl with Magic, as well as Ma Long's iron elbow, countless times in the fight with those players who are used to playing small actions without suffering, relying on Ma Long's fighting ability.
"If I didn't have the strength of Karl Malone, maybe I'm still the first person in the league and still have these championships, but I don't get the respect I have now." Xie Chen deeply knew that after single-handedly fighting the whole magic team, the whole alliance knew Xie Chen's terrifying combat effectiveness, no matter on or off the field, no one dared to provoke Xie Chen!
In any case, Karl Marlon's ability has helped Xie Chen a lot, and when he encounters Karl Malone in this period again, Xie Chen wants to pay tribute.
James used to often play a dunk action that paid tribute to Carl Malone, that is, when he dunked, he touched the back of his head, Xie Chen met Karl Malone last time, and he also played such an action, but he was sprayed by Malone and didn't know what to do.
Xie Chen suddenly remembered Aaron Gordon's first dunk in the final of the slam dunk contest a few days ago, and after Gordon spun it, he touched the back of his head and dunked it.
This dunk was done very beautifully, Xie Chen also liked it, and it happened to be 1997, Xie Chen also wanted to bring the full score dunk action of the 2017 slam dunk contest to these old guys.
But it's a pity that Hot Wheels is not popular in this era, so there is no way, Xie Chen pulled Jazz's mascot Jazz Bear over and let him spin the ball in place by himself.
At this time, Xie Chen and the mascot also attracted the attention of the audience, and the Jazz team who were warming up also turned their attention to it.
Hornacek, who is currently coaching the Knicks, glanced at him, then asked Karl Malone, "What do you guess this No. 0 is going to do?" ā
Karl Malone chuckled and said, "Maybe it's a dunk, but he can't dunk any good moves by looking at his appearance." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the mascot began to rotate clockwise on the spot, Xie Chen found the opportunity, quickly rushed forward, got the ball with one hand, turned counterclockwise, and then touched the back of his head with his hand to imitate Karl Malone, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one arm!
"Oh my God! This dunk is so beautiful! ā
"This dunk is in the dunk contest, it's definitely a perfect score!"
The audience at the scene was immediately amazed, not to mention the audience in 1997, even 20 years later, when this action was first used, it amazed everyone, and the degree of amazement in 1997 can be imagined.
The dunk also left Karl Malone dumbfounded.
"This guy's bounce, strength, and dunk creativity are all excellent, and he also imitates my signature moves, although it is a tribute to me, but as soon as his dunk comes out, I can't do such a dunk in the future!" Carl Malone didn't appreciate Xie Chen's love at all, because after Xie Chen's dunk was used, Ma Long himself was unwilling to touch the back of his head to dunk anymore, feeling that his dunk was not as good as Xie Chen's.
After the game started, Xie Chen thought that Ma Long would be grateful for his salute move, but he didn't expect this guy to give Xie Chen a dark elbow in the third minute of the opening game!
Xie Chen suddenly felt inexplicable, Ma Long faced Xie Chen with a completely disdainful expression, and said: "Boy, although your dunk is much better than the Kobe Bryant who just won the slam dunk contest this year, don't think about showing it off in the game, be careful of my elbows, understand?" ā
Xie Chen has long been disgusted by the arrogant threatening words of the older generation of stars, even the bad boy army has beaten them and given up their names, will they be afraid of a person with the same ability as himself?
Xie Chen also said politely: "I helped Kobe teach you a lesson before, since your nature can't be changed, then I'll help Lopez avenge tonight, let the horse come!" ā
Xie Chen couldn't beat Ma Long last time, but now he is not afraid, but Ma Long was confused after hearing it, isn't Kobe Bryant a kid who just entered the league? What will I have to do with him? Which one is Lopez referring to? He even felt that it was ridiculous that a small point guard wanted to teach himself a lesson.
Soon, Karl Malone found that Xie Chen wanted to grab a rebound with him, and took the initiative to push up with Malone under the basket, Malone smiled contemptuously, although he was 34 years old, his muscles were still there, and a small point guard wanted to grab a position with him, what did he think?
"What?" In the next second, Carl Malone was shocked! (To be continued.) )
