Chapter 700: The Biggest Test of the Season!

Michael Jordan was amazed by Xie Chen's all-round ball skills, and also surprised by Xie Chen's unique personality and behavior. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Jordan looked at Xie Chen and asked, "Are you really not going to play the second half?" Aren't you afraid of being punished by the team and the league? ”

Xie Chen smiled: "There is nothing more important than going to have a drink with you now. ”

Michael Jordan was willing to gamble and lose, and he had already committed six crimes, so he couldn't play this game if he wanted to, so he followed Xie Chen away from the scene, causing an uproar among the fans at the scene.

"Where have they been? Don't play anymore? ”

A scene that will never appear in the NBA has happened in the legendary plot.

Jordan has a car here, the two of them changed their clothes and left the stadium and drove to a café, Jordan has a great reputation, plus the tall bodies of the two are very eye-catching, so they met a lot of fans to greet and take photos, which is also a reason why Xie Chen likes to come to the legendary plot, it is too real, it doesn't seem to be virtual at all, but the world here will not affect the real world, and Xie Chen, a person in the future, will not arouse the curiosity and suspicion of these people when he appears here and does something. This is probably the best perk for the traverser, right?

Xie Chen and Jordan had already talked happily after only a few minutes of chatting, because Xie Chen knew Jordan too well, and had talked a lot before, in fact, Xie Chen hadn't seen Jordan for a long time, and he had always wanted to find a chance to chat with Jordan and talk about his heart, but he didn't have a chance.

Xie Chen said: "You once said that when a person's desire. When you want to reach the highest value, you can do anything, and if you can't do it, you want to do it. The hope is not strong enough, I used to rely on this desire to win. I hope to have achieved some things, but now, I have some doubts that I can get them again. ”

When Xie Chen fell behind the Cavaliers 0-3 in the playoffs in the first season, Jordan said this to him, Xie Chen relied on that strong desire for a championship. Looking at the equalization game by game until the victory, Jordan has always played the role of a teacher in Xie Chen's growth.

Xie Chen is the first person in the current alliance and the leader of the entire Zijin Lakers, he actually has a lot of pressure, but he can't find anyone to talk to, and now when he meets Jordan, he can't help but sigh a few words.

Michael Jordan asked, "Why?" ”

Xie Chen said: "The opponent is too strong, it's like a ...... The current Lakers add a Kevin Garnett. ”

“wow。” Jordan couldn't help but exclaim when he heard Xie Chen's assumption, the OK combination of the Lakers is already invincible, O'Neal and Kobe are considered to be the best duo in history to replace Jordan Pippen, and now, add Kevin Garnett to such an invincible Lakers team?

Even Jordan won't know the answer, because in his career, he has never encountered such a situation, and in their time, there was no pop superstar huddle, that is, Jordan did not play a super team.

Jordan said: "My six Finals opponents are Magic Johnson, ****** Drexler, Charles Barkley, Rain Man Kemp, and twice Karl Malone and Stockton, they are all great stars, but they don't have three superstars on their team like you said, maybe one day, the league will change, and the great players themselves will rush to join a team that already has championship strength, and it will be easier to win the championship, if you meet such an opponent, You have to do every offense and defense, every shot, treat it like a series game, and make every defense of you pay the price! ”

"Make every person who defends me pay?" Xie Chen was shocked.

"That's right, no matter how strong a person is, it can't be used by two people, since you have such an all-round and incomprehensible offense, you should make your offense more threatening, not only to score, but also to score at the same time, destroy the confidence of the defender, consume the defender's physical strength, try your best to make the strongest person's foul, and even, play some small tricks, but this is a great test of your physical strength and endurance, if it is a whole series, I think it is difficult for you to persevere." Jordan took a sip of coffee and said slowly.

Xie Chen thought about Jordan's words carefully, as a player, Jordan can give Xie Chen some practical methods, playing the Warriors is a difficult challenge, although the Lakers and the Warriors are one win and one loss, but Xie Chen knows that once they meet in the playoffs, the chance of winning is very small.

Xie Chen and Jordan seemed to have a lot to say, but unfortunately, when the two were chatting happily, Xie Chen was passed back.

At the scene, the Lakers' teammates were walking towards them, except for the Lakers players' seats, everyone's expressions were not very good, because Xie Chen had just shot the whistle, and it was still in the case of a big lead.

After the game, John Wall also walked up: "You really didn't let go of the last ball, okay, you can go for coffee now, but don't drink too much, be careful that you can't sleep at night." ”

Xie Chen smiled and said to Wall, "See you all stars." ”

The Lakers have won an astonishing thirteen in a row, and the team is relaxed and happy up and down, they have long forgotten what it is like to lose, they have long since forgotten what it is to lose streak, and they are not only confident now, but they have even begun to be a little arrogant.

After the game, when we got to the locker room, no one went to talk about the game, and we talked more about things other than basketball, such as where to play tonight, which female star is very beautiful, which new debut young model is very punctual, or other league things.

Xie Chen always felt that this was a bad sign.

Two days later, the Lakers visit TD North Shore Garden in Boston, where they will challenge their 14th straight win.

The Celtics attach great importance to the Lakers, an old rival, and they know very well that the Lakers are no longer the weak team in their eyes, and even the fans on the scene dare not underestimate the Lakers, Xie Chen and other players, which made them nervous.

"Now the momentum of the Los Angeles Lakers is simply too fierce, they have won thirteen consecutive victories, and even the Golden State Warriors can't compare with them, Xie This guy is terrible, it seems that no one is qualified to win the MVP this season except him."

"If it weren't for the Warriors' record-breaking record of 73 wins last season, the MVP would have been Xie, he could have made his teammates better, you look at these guys around Xie, before the start of the game, who would have thought they could play so well?"

Loyal fans of the Celtics also praised the Lakers' performance, and it is conceivable that the Lakers players are in a mood.

Accustomed to winning streaks and winning against opponents, the performance of these players on the court is also quite casual, coupled with Xie Chen's bad hand when he comes up, the Lakers suffered the worst start of the season.

The Lakers made a series of mistakes, missed shots one after another, and did not protect the rebounds well, and were beaten by the Celtics with a wave of 10:0, but even so, the Lakers were still not in a hurry, because they were used to winning, and felt that 10 points was not much of a point difference, and they could completely chase it back, after Xie Chen scored two points to break the scoring drought, the Lakers thought that this would open the situation, but they didn't expect it at all, and soon, they were beaten to 22:7 by the opponent!

Luke Wharton called a timeout several times, and also shouted angrily, because Wharton still didn't plan to let Xie Chen play for too long in this game, and now that Xie Chen was in control of the situation on the court, he was so far behind, if he put Xie Chen off the court later, wouldn't he be beaten?

The Celtics' defense is really good, especially today, their defense is simply the top in the league, all along, the Celtics have been terrified of the teams in the league with a tough defense, last season, they ranked fourth in defensive efficiency, and this season is also the top three teams in the defensive league, with the addition of Al Horford and Jaylen Brown, plus the original Avery Bradley, Jack Crowder, Marcus Smart, now the Celtics have improved a lot of dominance on the defensive end.

"Guys, we've got the best defense in the league, it's not going to be too easy, let's cheer up!" Xie Chen began to remind the team members.

The whole Lakers team just started to cheer up, no longer so loose, they thought that as long as they played seriously, they would regain the momentum of the Lakers, but no, Xie Chen's three-point was seriously interfered with, and the layup was blocked, Ingram's breakthrough was broken, Rohr Deng was defended and shot three non-sticks, and Mozgov couldn't score on the inside.

Soon, the score became 35:15, and the Lakers trailed by 20 points!

This season, except for the Golden State Warriors, no one has ever led the Lakers by so many points!

"Oh my God, are we that strong? suppressed the Lakers so badly! ”

"Our defense was suffocating! The Lakers' showtime can't be played at all! They're not even scoring points now. ”

This is something that even Celtics fans did not expect, and they were originally worried that their team would be beaten by the Lakers.

Xie Chen didn't play for long, and was replaced by Wharton again, Wharton still wanted to protect Xie Chen, when Xie Chen returned to his seat, Wharton whispered to Xie Chen: "I'm afraid our winning streak is coming to an end in this game." ”

Wharton has seen from the game that the Celtics' defense made the Lakers' offense completely ineffective, trailing by 20 points early, although there is still a long time to go, but the Celtics are not the Warriors or the Lakers, they will not be arrogant to slack off the defense or attack indiscriminately.

Xie Chen was a little unconvinced: "I don't care too much about the winning streak, it's just that I played too aggrieved today, so don't limit my playing time today." ”

Wharton nodded, but in his opinion, this game is likely to become a garbage time game in the fourth quarter, and at that time, Xie Chen will have no need to play.

Generally speaking, when a team leads the opponent by 20 points, the team's players will play relatively loosely, and the point difference will gradually narrow, but today's situation is not the case, when the Celtics lead by 20 points, when Xie Chen is out of the break, the point difference continues to expand!

Thomas Jr. actually hit consecutive three-pointers at this time! Both shots looked casual, and neither was the best chance, but they were both shots, and I have to say that Celtic's luck tonight was too good.

Little Thomas was also happy, he smiled and looked at Xie Chen, who was sitting on the court, and thought to himself: "The difference in halftime is close to 30 points, hehe, it seems that the entire second half will be garbage time, and I thought that tonight would be a hard battle." ”

The Celtics were all relieved, facing the Lakers, who had the first record in the league, they were not sure, but they didn't expect to lead by nearly 30 points at halftime, and the Lakers were considered by everyone to be a pseudo-strong team, all supported by Xie Chen alone, plus Wharton intended to reduce Xie Chen's playing time, even if the Lakers returned to their previous normal level in the second half, it was impossible to catch it back.

The team is so far behind, Luke Wharton's face is also gloomy, he can accept that the team lost the second game, but he doesn't want to lose so badly, falling behind by nearly 30 points at halftime, is it too smooth before, so God deliberately punished the Lakers?

Wharton glanced at Xie Chen, Xie Chen also shook his head, he didn't have the slightest appearance of stabilizing the situation, Xie Chen wanted these Lakers players to feel the sense of defeat, the Lakers are by no means a team that can be arrogant, the winning streak along the way has lost the Lakers players, just to take advantage of this opponent's blow to make everyone sober up.

Then, at halftime, the Lakers trailed the Celtics by a full 30 points.

"Hahaha, the Los Angeles Lakers are so vulnerable, they lost to us by 30 points in the first half! Sure enough, it's a pseudo-strong team, the Golden State Warriors haven't been able to beat them back to their original form before, and today we did it. ”

"We played the best defense, they couldn't score at all, but to be able to lead so much, really to say that these players at Celtic have a really good hand, they basically didn't concede anything."

The Lakers are too back, the Celtics are too smooth, which makes the point difference so much, in addition to luck, attitude and strength are also decisive, when returning to the locker room at halftime, Luke Wharton rarely yelled at all the players: "We lost to the opponent by a full 30 points in the half!" Does this sound like a word? Are we an NBA team? How do we deserve to be number one in the West? I've given up on this game, but I want you to play back in the second half of our offense and defense, take every ball seriously, if we are beaten by the opponent as the largest point difference in NBA history, then our Los Angeles Lakers will really become a joke! Before, no one will mention the 'empty city' and showtime that we have worked so hard to build! ”

Almost everyone in the Lakers team, from coaches to players, has given up this game, but Xie Chen has not. (To be continued.) )
