Chapter 424: The Knicks' New Big Three!

So far, Xie Chen ranks first on the steal list with an average of 3.1 steals per game, and the second place is Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, with an average of 2.7 per game, far inferior to Xie Chen.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to steals, Xie Chen's average blocks per game and points per game are all ranked in the top three in the league, as the best point guard in the league, it is no surprise to get a place on the steal list and scoring list, but it is really not easy to appear on the block list. Xie Chen averaged 3.4 blocks per game, beating Jordan Jr., who ranked third, and the top five were undoubtedly inside, only Xie Chen was a point guard, and it was no one else who could suppress Xie Chen on the blocking list, it was the Heat's former teammate Hassan Whiteside, who averaged nearly 5 blocks per game!

In the last few games, Porzingis's blocking data has gradually risen, and Porzingis will have one-on-one special training with Xie Chen next, Xie Chen believes that if the training is so that even Xie Chen, the steal king, can't break Porzingis's ball, then there are few in the league who can easily make Porzingis miss.

They repeated the scene of today's mistake again, so that Porzingis deeply realized how his ball was lost, Xie Chen also stepped forward again and again to pounce, really ruthless, sometimes even use brute force to snatch, Porzingis was broken by Xie Chen at the beginning of the miserable, slowly, the situation began to improve, he gradually adapted to this speed of tackles, and finally trained until when Xie Chen stealed, Porzingis could calmly dribble and dodge, Xie Chen knew that he had already received results.

The Knicks' next game is to host the Heat, after Xie Chen left the Miami Heat, people are not very optimistic about the prospects of the Heat, but they did not expect that since the start of the season, the Heat's record has been high in the second place in the East, with the momentum of the Heat this year. They will definitely make the playoffs, and judging by the current standings, if the Knicks break into the playoffs, it is very likely that the Miami Heat will face the Miami Heat in the first round.

The Heat has a deep meaning to Xie Chen, and the last time he went to Miami to play against this team, Xie Chen couldn't suppress his inner emotions. Now in New York, coupled with Xie Chen's inability to play, this emotion is finally not so strong, and Xie Chen deeply understands that the Miami Heat has nothing to do with him, and the Knicks are his team.

Although the feelings are no longer so strong, the feelings for Wade and Hassan, these good brothers, will not change, before the game, Xie Chen, who was wearing a suit, came to the Heat bench and talked freely with these former teammates.

Whiteside first mentioned Xie Chen's fight: "I watched the live broadcast with Wade in that game. When you and Oladipo were about to fight, I was so anxious, but I didn't expect that in the end, you beat him up violently, and you single-handedly overwhelmed the entire Magic team! Looks like I don't have to worry about anything about you, hahaha. ”

Hassan has always been worried that after Xie Chen came to the Knicks, there would be no real brother to help him, so he has always been worried about Xie Chen. Now that I knew Xie Chen's combat effectiveness, I was a lot more relaxed.

Of course, Wade was even more impressed by Xie Chen: "Brother." You can always be intimidating, but you're playing too big this time, and Adam Shaw hasn't said when you'll be able to compete? Hell, you didn't hurt that fan. However, while your team is in dire need of a win right now. I'm not going to put water on your face, hehe. ”

Xie Chen smiled: "Wade, Hassan, don't think that without me and Anthony, the Knicks will easily lose to you." Trust me, it's going to be a very tight game today and our players are going to give you a good look. ”

"You mean the big guy?" Wade looked at Porzingis in the distance, and then smiled, "I'll help you tune him up." ”

"Wade ......" Xie Chen was shocked, Wade was really the person who knew Xie Chen best, and he actually knew that Xie Chen was now training Porzingis.

Hassan Whiteside also glanced at Porzingis with a smile, and said to Xie Chen: "I will also help educate him, but my way is more brutal, Xie, do you remember when you drove a Porsche and sent me to Moning for devil training?" I finally have a chance for revenge! ”

"......" Xie Chen began to mourn for Porzingis.

The game between the Knicks and the Heat started quickly, Xie Chen once again watched the game as a spectator, but he was more nervous and focused than the last game, he wanted to know if Porzingis had grown, and the Heat was a good opponent.

Whiteside is one of the most terrible interior lines in the league, Wade is old and strong and still maintains the level of FMVP last season, Bosh has been in good shape since his return, plus rookies Winslow and Green, Rohr Deng, the strength on the surface, let alone better than the Knicks, even compared with the Cavaliers, it is not much worse, but the lack of stable ability outside the three-point line will become the Achilles heel of the Heat, especially in the playoffs.

In fact, last season's Heat, the three-point shot is already a big weakness, the reason why it can compete with a three-point strong team like the Warriors in the finals is because Xie Chen's three points alone made up for the whole big loophole of the Heat, and now Xie Chen is not there, although the Heat's current record is okay, but when it comes to the playoffs, you will understand how the Heat has changed without Xie Chen's stable three points.

Porzingis shocked the Heat as soon as he came up, and he first hit a three-pointer himself, and then assisted Ci Shiping to hit a three-pointer to take the lead in the opening game.

This is by no means a flash in the pan, when the Heat are struggling to catch up, Porzingis continues to lead the team to continue to score and widen the lead, and Porzingis' performance in the first quarter is simply an All-Star level player!

This stunned Winslow, who was also a rookie!

Winslow is also one of the most favored players among the rookies, and he can't help but feel jealous when he sees Porzingis simply becoming the core of the Knicks, everyone gives him the ball, and he keeps scoring goals one after another, and he has scored more points than he scored in the whole game in the last game: "Why do the Knicks use him so much?" Why does he have such a good opportunity? And I, but I have to boil under D-WADE, Bosh, etc., if the Zen master chose me at the beginning, will the core of the Knicks be me now? ”

Winslow was not reconciled, he knew that the Knicks were going to develop Porzingis when Xie Chen and Anthony were both out of battle. also knew that the Bulls made Porzingis suffer a lot in the last game, and there were N more mistakes, Winslow saw that Porzingis was an inside lineman, but he had a lot of dribbling, which was an opportunity to give him a steal!

Seeing Porzingis holding the ball from a high position, Winslow on the right flank immediately rushed forward to steal. Unexpectedly, Porzingis no longer acted as flustered as he did in the last game, he had already learned the fastest steal speed in the league, so he did a back turn unhurriedly, passed Winslow, and then hit a very consistent low-handed layup.

"Good shot!" Xie Chen couldn't help but applaud Porzingis, he didn't expect that in just one night of training, the next game would work, and Porzingis's learning ability was really good.

Once again, Porzingis grabbed the offensive rebound. Winslow was not reconciled, and stepped forward to pick up the ball again, because this time Winslow grabbed very fiercely, Porzingis began to "show", pretending to be hit hard, throwing the ball to the basket, and sure enough, he got the whistle.

"This ......" Winslow couldn't understand what was going on when he saw Porzingis' exaggerated movements. He knew very well that the power he had just used could not have been so heavy. But there was indeed physical contact and foul suspicion, and Winslow couldn't argue about anything.

At this time, Hassan stepped forward and patted Winslow and said, "Don't be frustrated, this rookie can't be so smart, it must be Xie Jiao, you lost to Xie." Didn't you lose to him, understand? ”

However, Hassan's comfort did not play a big role, and Winslow's mentality was still greatly affected.

The trick just now was indeed taught to him by Xie Chen, just one night. As a second-year, Xie Chen really doesn't have much to teach Porzingis, but fake falls are definitely something that Xie Chen can take out to teach, Porzingis is a white man, and the general acting talent of white people is relatively good, so it can be developed, especially if Porzingis is so thin and weak, if he doesn't learn to act, it will be too much of a loss.

In this way, Porzingis scored 22 points in the half and led the Knicks to a six-point lead.

As soon as he returned to the locker room, the whole team touched Porzingis's head to show encouragement, and Porzingis kept smiling shyly and very modestly.

But the good times didn't last long, and by the second half, Wade and Hassan Whiteside were both serious.

Wade used the lost step to teach Porzingis a good lesson, and caused fouls to Porzingis one after another, and Hassan also showed the true colors of the blocking king, and the big hat beat Porzingis, and the Heat quickly overtook the score.

"The time has come to really test Porzingis, when scoring gets tough, when the balance of winning is on the other side, will he be able to maintain his level and confidence?" Xie Chen values Porzingis very much, because in the playoffs, if he plays away, Xie Chen may encounter a situation of losing his ability, and at that time, if Anthony has any problems, he can only rely on this guy. To a certain extent, he could influence the playoffs! Unfortunately, he still does not understand his responsibility.

Porzingis really became no longer as crazy and passionate as in the first half, he began to hesitate again, Xie Chen wanted to go up and kick him to remind him now, but what Xie Chen didn't expect, and even surprised Hassan and Rohr Deng, was that Wade suddenly scolded Porzingis on the field!

"Rookie, what are you doing! Are you sleeping? The second half has already begun, you know what? You're acting like a piece of shit, and guess what your boss said to me, and he said you can help him win the championship, it's funny, a cowardly guy who expects so much from you. ”

Wade, as an opponent, actually took the initiative to step forward and reprimand Porzingis, not trash talk, but a reprimanding teammate-like tone, which made Xie Chen shocked, Ci Shiping originally thought that Wade was going to fight with Porzingis and wanted to go up and join in the fun, but when he saw that the two of them did not make a move, they dispersed.

Wade woke up Porzingis all of a sudden, a rookie like him needs to be constantly beaten and motivated by his seniors, Wade's motivation just now appeared very timely, and sooner or later it will not have such an effect.

Porzingis looked at Winslow, this guy only scored 7 points now, Porzingis said secretly: "I want to cherish the hard-won opportunity now, when Xie and Anthony return, I will not have such a chance to grow, now this team is mine, maybe I only have this chance to be the boss this time in this life!" ”

Porzingis spelled!

He actually fell to the ground with Hassan for a rebound! After that, he slapped Winslow angrily, nailed Wade, and interfered with one of Hassan's shots!

After Porzingis' sudden second big outburst, the Knicks actually led the score again at the last moment!

"Porzingis is too strong! He's on the verge of scoring 40 points! Oh my God, is he the best rookie of the year? Downs and Okafor, no one has ever scored anything close to 40! The Zen master really picked up a treasure! ”

"I've long despised those who mock him, and the Knicks are now also a Big Three, but one of the Big Ones is not Lopez, but this rookie Porzingis, and in two years, he will be even better, and maybe, the Knicks will build a dynasty!"

The Knicks may really have a new big three, Xie Chen, Anthony, Porzingis, Porzingis got 40 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks today, this data is simply a data that can only be had by a super insider.

The Knicks fought with the Heat, who are second in the East, until the last minute, before the winner was decided, and the Knicks still lost the game, because Porzingis left with six fouls left in the last three minutes, and many people said that if Porzingis was not sent off, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

After the game, when Xie Chen shook hands with the original coach Spo and said goodbye, Coach Spo said: "Xie, your luck has always been so good, wherever you go, there will be an amazing excellent inside line, and they are all players who have been looked down upon before, as soon as you become teammates, they become amazing, Porzingis is very promising, I hope he can help you in the playoffs." ”

"Thank you." Xie Chen said gratefully.

"By the way, is it true that you tweeted that you would still shoot three-pointers in a shooting position that is not Curry? If so, I really won't forgive you for lying to me for an entire season! Coach Spo said seriously.

Xie Chen smiled, he really wanted to tell Spo the truth, but even if he said it, Spo wouldn't believe it, so he replied, "Okay, I'm bragging so I want everyone to vote for me." ”

Spo laughed and said, "The results of the second round of voting will come out tomorrow, and I hope your big words have made a difference." (To be continued......)
