(Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!) In the new year and new journey, it's time to cheer up and start! ）

In 2002, Yao Ming was drafted by the Houston Rockets as the top pick, but when he first entered the NBA, his table was mediocre, and Barkley even said that Yao Ming could not score more than 19 points in a game, betting on kissing his partner Kenny Smith's ass.

Everyone knows what happened later, Yao Ming scored 20 points away against the Lakers, and Barkley finally fulfilled his promise on the show and kissed a donkey's ass.

The past is unbearable, and when they think of the old scene, O'Neill and the others laugh.

Kenny Smith smiled: "Charles, my friend, I think I need to remind you that Chris Xie today is completely different from Yao Ming back then, Yao Ming was not fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA at that time, you don't believe that he can score more than 19 It is reasonable, but now Xie, although he is also a yellow race, but Xie grew up in the United States, and he has been accustomed to this way of playing since he was a child, and in the past games, he even won 40+, and your gamble is completely unnecessary." ”

Barkley said with a serious face: "That's right, I know what you said, but the difference between the two is that I only bet on Xie Xie's score in this game, not including later!" ”

"So, are you optimistic that the Timberwolves can limit Xie?" Smith asked.

"Absolutely optimistic, brother, no team wants to be slaughtered by a rookie for 30 or even 40 points, Xie is not Shaquille O'Neal, Xie is not Michael Jordan, Xie is not LeBron James, he doesn't have an inexplicable way to score, and his scoring method is very simple, as long as he blocks Xie's three-point shot, he has almost nothing to do." Barkley said with a serious look on his face.

For this, the three O'Neal did not refute it, compared to those senior superstars, Xie can be compared with them in terms of numbers, but in terms of strength, O'Neal, Jordan, and James in the rookie period are all invincible, but they all have a set of inexplicable scoring methods, plus the metamorphosis of the body, which makes people have to surrender, but why is Xie Chen, who is 85 kilograms of 1.93 meters?

In this way, Barkley's other "hip-kissing" gamble was staged again after 12 years!

……

On November 9th, at the American Airlines Arena, the Heat hosted the Timberwolves!

Timberwolves visiting locker room.

Philip Saunders, the head coach of the Timberwolves, an old coach with a wrinkled face full of vicissitudes, he has a kind of majesty that is not angry and arrogant, just looking at the temperament is not much different from the old guys of Zen master and god operator, but he has no commendable achievements, Sanders is sullen and has a very pragmatic coaching style, but his affinity has won the respect and love of many players, such as former disciples and friends, "Wolf King" Garnett.

Sanders walked up to Andrew Wiggins, who was tying his shoes, patted him on the back and sat down, and said in a vicissitudes of voice: "You are a very obedient and selfless child, Andrew, I know, we all know that you have amazing basketball talent, the past few games, buried your individual talent, today, I allow you to show the world to the world at the American Airlines Arena." ”

Wiggins was stunned, this young rookie looked like a sculpture, and the coach meant to let himself play casually! Today's game, thanks to the limelight Xie Chen, won a lot of attention, and the coach let himself play to his heart's content, which means that even if he doesn't want this victory, he must make himself famous in front of fans all over the world!

Sanders would rather sacrifice his record to achieve Wiggins' approach is understandable, the Heat started with five consecutive wins, the momentum is flourishing, although LeBron James is missing, but it is still a strong team in the league, on the other hand, the Timberwolves, the team has lost the core player Kevin Loew this year, this is a super player in the top five MVP years!

Loew is gone, the team's core defender Rubio can't play due to injury, and other players, those who can shoot can't break through, those who can attack can't defend, and those who can defend can't attack, this game can be described as hanging in suspense.

Last season, the Timberwolves, as the top ten "strong team" in the league in offense and defense, failed to make the playoffs, and this year, Sanders has long lost hope, let's train new recruits, let Wiggins also show off, let you know that there is now a team in the league called the Timberwolves!

Wiggins was overjoyed: "Hehe, thank you, you have unlimited firing rights, I also have unlimited firing rights, I will definitely beat you in this game!" ”

……

There was still some time before the start of the game, and there were already many media reporters in the arena, and Xie Chen of the Heat team became a hot figure in the team for the first time, surrounded by a large number of reporters.

Xie Chen went to Chicago a few days ago to challenge Rose, which can be described as "becoming famous in one fight", of course, there is more infamy, plus Xie Chen averages more than 30 points per game, and is known as the first rookie this year, which makes the champion Wiggins very faceless, this game, everyone wants to see the wonderful duel between the two, who is the real first rookie!

Among this group of reporters, Katie is also one of them, seeing that her roommate and friends who have had "intimate behavior" are so popular, she already has a love for Xie Chen, and she is even more impressed with Xie Chen.

Katie took the microphone and asked, "Xie Chen, the ** Charles Barkley bet that if you score more than 19 points in this game and are willing to kiss the pig's ass, what do you want to say about such a contempt for your opinion?" ”

Barkley's original words were pro-O'Neal, and now he is rumored to be a pro-pig, Xie Chen only smiled when he heard this: "It seems that he is sure that I will be killed by the Timberwolves in this game, but I believe that he will not do it, after the game, I will definitely watch the live TV with my own eyes." ”

Compared with Yao Ming's politeness back then, Xie Chen can be regarded as having a relationship with Barkley, Barkley is Yao Ming's idol, but not Xie Chen's idol, since the other party looks down on him, there is no need to deliberately please the other party.

After Katie finished asking, a group of reporters behind her wanted to squeeze forward to ask Xie Chen a question, but they were blocked by Katie, who occupied the most advantageous position, and continued to ask: "Xie Chen, I heard that after the last game, you and your teammates went to a nightclub to party, and you kissed a very beautiful woman with a very good figure in the nightclub, is she your girlfriend?" Do you like her a lot? ”

Xie Chen looked at Katie in surprise, you dare to ask? He still boasted that there is nothing in the sky and no on the earth, too narcissistic, right?

However, looking at Katie's slightly shy face, Xie Chen still replied to her: "I promise the championship flag over the American Airlines Arena that I love that girl to death." ”

……

"CCTV, CCTV audience friends, good morning, I am the host Yu Jia, today's game between the Heat and the Timberwolves, will be explained by me and Zhang Weiping and Zhang Guide, this is also a high-profile game, because the two teams have the strongest rookie this year, Xie Chen and Wiggins, which reminds me of Yao Ming and Stoudemire, Director Zhang, for this game, for these two rookies, what do you think?" Yu Jia asked Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping analyzed: "Like everyone, I didn't expect Xie Chen's amazing performance at all, Xie Chen's physical talent is not as good as Wiggins, but his learning ability on the court is unmatched, his breakthrough, his three-point shot, one game is better than the other, about these two teams, obviously the Heat has a big chance of winning, and which of the two rookies is better, on the one hand, it depends on the coach's arrangement, on the other hand, it depends on the performance of the two, which is really hard to say." ”

Yu Jia forced Zhang Weiping a little: "Who are you more optimistic about?" Pick one. ”

Zhang Weiping smiled and paused for three seconds before saying, "Xie Chen, after all, although Wiggins is very talented, he is still a little worse than James Kobe Bryant." ”

"The game will start immediately, I hope Xie Chen will not disappoint you."

……

The Heat continue to wear white and red jerseys, while the Timberwolves' black jerseys look a little strange because their jerseys have sleeves, and the short-sleeved jerseys look a little different from what they usually wear on the street, but for female viewers, it's a good thing, because they can no longer see the disgusting armpit hair.

Before the game, the players of the two teams high-fived each other, Wiggins took the initiative to walk to Xie Chen's side, he was ten centimeters taller than Xie Chen, he looked condescending, and said with a smile: "Sue you one thing, this game, I will defend you, from beginning to end." ”

Xie Chen smiled indifferently: "I know this." ”

The news of Wiggins' personal defense of Xie Chen spread far and wide, and Wiggins knew it, so he continued: "Then I'll tell you one more thing, in this game, I have unlimited firing rights, just like you did in the previous games, I definitely scored more points than you!" ”

Xie Chen countered and said, "Do you want to compete with me and Kobe for the scoring title of the season?" So do you have to chase, I'm averaging 32 points per game now, and you're only 17 points, want to surpass me? Do you think you're Kobe Bryant and can score 81 points in a single game? ”

Wiggins was speechless and said angrily, "Good! Since it's so rampant, then I'll teach you a lesson on the court! ”

As soon as the whistle blew in the game, the Timberwolves jumped to the ball, and the ball was passed to Andrew Wiggins for the first time!
