Chapter 796: The Farewell Tour Officially Begins!
The Warriors must take a double-digit lead at the end of the third quarter, so that they have a chance to beat the Lakers in the fourth quarter, otherwise, even if they win in the end, they may only be separated in the last few minutes, and if they can stalemate with the Warriors to the end, it will not prove that the Lakers are not a championship-level team, and it will not prove that Xie Chen has no chance to retire this season.

After the timeout came back, the Warriors' offense was still ferocious, but with the excellent performances of Nick Young, Mozgov and others, the pressure on Xie Chen's side had been released, and Xie Chen quickly scored 30 points and started the legendary plot.
Because the system promises that even after retiring, Xie Chen can still challenge the legendary team in the past, so Xie Chen is reluctant to give up on the current opponent, but not for this magical legendary opponent, he doesn't want to do anything in the legendary plot, he just wants to finish the fight quickly and return to the real world to defeat the warriors, he can't let these guys ruin his farewell tour.
Fortunately, the opponent selected by the system this time is not very difficult to deal with, and the Warriors in the 08-09 season are led by Stephen Jackson, Jamal Crawford, and Monta Ellis.
Xie Chen easily solved the opponent.
……
After returning from the Legend Challenge, Xie Chen did not relax at all, continued to fight against the Warriors' Big Four, and after a hard battle, he finally ensured that the team was not defeated by the opponent in the third quarter!
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors not only did not lead the Lakers by a large score as expected, but also trailed the Lakers by 6 points!
In the Warriors bench, Curry and Durant looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
The original plan of the Warriors was to beat the opponent and let everyone see the gap between the Lakers and the Warriors, but now it seems that unless the Warriors play against the sky in the fourth quarter, it is impossible to win the Lakers by more than 20.
Coach Kerr knew that the people in the team had special feelings for Xie Chen, and originally supported everyone to deal with Xie Chen together, but now seeing this situation, he had to say: "KD, Stephen, Draymond, I know you all want to win a big game, but today this is obviously unlikely to happen, the playoffs are getting closer and closer, Luke Wharton is willing to fight their trump card from beginning to end, I am reluctant for you to fight with Xie like this, if you can win this game, you can win it, and if you can't take it, give it to them." ”
Coach Kerr still considers the health of the core players, and doesn't want them to play with Xie Chen at this time, after all, Xie Chen is so ruthless that even James can dunk it, Curry and Durant's stature can't withstand this, and it's worth staying in the playoffs to be fierce and ruthless.
Durant has no objections, looking at the state of the Lakers today, even if they are desperately trying to recover the score, the Lakers will definitely fight back again, if this tug-of-war continues, it will only make people see the tenacity of the Lakers, since they can't win big, it's better to just forget it.
Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, when they found that they couldn't take away the Lakers in waves, slowly, they played less and less passionately, but the Lakers became more and more excited.
Clarkson made five straight three-pointers in the fourth quarter, scoring four, and after four of them, the Lakers had a 15-point lead over the Warriors.
"It doesn't matter if you're serious or not, Lao Tzu Clarkson!"
The Warriors couldn't let the Lakers abuse themselves, and they cheered up and barely recovered the points, so as not to lose too ugly, and finally the Lakers defeated the Warriors by 10 points!
For a while, there was more discussion about Xie Chen on the Internet.
"The Lakers won! Once again, they defeated the Big Four! This proves that in the playoffs, the Lakers also have a chance to defeat the Warriors and reach the championship! ”
"The Lakers really look like they could win the championship this season, oh my God, doesn't that mean that Xie Chen is really going to retire and leave the league and leave us?"
"Xie Chen......"
After all, the warriors still failed to stop the public from showing reluctance to Xie Chen, and I believe that after this battle, every performance of Xie Chen will be a sensation.
After the game, the players of both sides still said hello, after all, although the probability is small, it is still possible that this is the last time the players of the two sides will meet.
Xie Chen and Stephen Curry shook hands and hugged each other, and said, "You must not lose too quickly, if the opponent in the Western Conference Finals is not you, this may be the last time we will meet in our careers." ”
Although Curry firmly believes that the team will never be out of the playoffs, he also said with a little sadness: "Since you entered this league, I have been disturbed and influenced by you almost every day, you have forced me to become stronger, if the league does not have you, I really don't know what will happen to me, but I don't think I will lose sleep anymore." ”
After Curry, Xie Chen and Durant also stretched out their hands to say goodbye, and Durant only said: "See you in the playoffs." ”
Xie Chen also took the initiative to go to Klay Thompson and Dream Green, and even Iguodala, he actually wanted to see if anyone wanted his signature sneakers, but unfortunately no one spoke......
"These guys, they don't think this game is the last time we will fight, well, I also think that the grudge with them is not over." Xie Chen sighed, he didn't give away sneakers, didn't get gifts, and didn't get applause in the first game of the away game, this farewell tour was really sad enough.
In the next game, returning to the home court to play the Jazz, the fans at home should be able to soothe Xie Chen's injured heart.
Jazz is currently hovering in the eighth position in the West, because the Lakers' record in the West is very solid, that is to say, Jazz is very likely to be the opponent encountered by the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors in the last game are the fierce rivals of the Lakers in the playoffs, and the Jazz are too, if this loss to the Jazz, I am afraid that many fans will still feel that the Lakers may capsize in the playoffs, and after playing the Jazz, they will have to go on a series of consecutive road trips, Xie Chen must not allow the Jazz to sabotage his farewell tour again.
In this game, you must win against the Jazz.
Jazz coach Snyder warned the players before the game that although this game is very likely to be the last meeting with Xie Chen, they must go all out to win on the court, their playoff spot is not secure, there is not much time left in the regular season, and they must strive for every victory.
And this time the opponent is the Lakers, and the Jazz also regard the Lakers as an imaginary enemy of the opponent in the first round, and they also want to tell everyone in the regular season that they may have the ability to black eight.
However, the Jazz were determined to win, but when they got to the court, they still had the ability to dominate everything, and the Lakers played a showtime-level game as soon as they started.
Xie Chen played effortlessly, because his teammates were in good shape, he could easily create opportunities for his teammates to score, and as the whole team had an excellent performance, everyone became more and more casual, and the performance became more and more exciting.
Xie Chen held the ball and threw the ball to Randle, who had already reached the basket one step faster, Randle did not dunk the ball after receiving the ball, but lightly touched the ball with his hand and gave the ball to Mozgov who followed on the left side, and Mozgov dunked with both hands to complete the three-person cooperation.
Singles king Nick Yang also began to pass the ball, and all of them were weird and unpredictable balls, fortunately, Xie Chen knew this guy better, and he could always receive his pass and complete it, which could make the scene addicted every time.
Under this momentum, the Jazz was quickly defeated.
Coach Snyder also felt helpless, and secretly said in his heart: "How can the Lakers be so strong? Is there really no hope for them in the playoffs? But if we do our best to climb to seventh in the West and encounter the Golden State Warriors, wouldn't it be even more death? Looks like we'll have to stay in eighth place. ”
The Golden State Warriors, who are recognized as the big devils, are now the second in the West, and looking at the Lakers' posture, it seems that they don't want to let the first place in the West be handed over, so for the teams in the seventh and eighth positions in the West, they are trying to avoid the Warriors and stay in the eighth position to play the Lakers.
In this game, Xie Chen clocked out in the third quarter, but he was not idle in the fourth quarter, because the Lakers' bench players were still playing passionately, and continued to expand the score on the basis of the original lead!
In the end, at the end of the game, the Lakers beat the Jazz by 38 points!
"The Lakers are too strong! It's totally a championship team! ”
"If the Jazz are the opponents of the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, then the Jazz has no possibility of black eight at all, and I even think that the Lakers are just as capable of overturning the Jazz without Xie Chen!"
"In that case, Xie Chen is more likely to retire?"
"Xie Chen......"
Defeat two opponents in a row who are likely to meet in the playoffs! There are more and more fans who think that the Lakers have a chance to win the championship, and similarly, Xie Chen's fans are becoming more and more sad.
Next, the Lakers are going to start a five-game consecutive road trip, for Xie Chen, this should be the real beginning of the farewell tour, the Warriors just ignore Xie Chen, 76ers, Thunder, Timberwolves, Raptors, Nets, these teams don't have much enmity with Xie Chen, so pay attention to it, let Xie Chen retire a little superstar!
Xie Chen even wanted the brokerage team to go to the next Philadelphia 76ers public relations game......
On the way to Philadelphia, Nick Young also smiled and said to Xie Chen: "Xie, if the 76ers don't bird you, don't be too sad, just slash 100 points and abuse them!" ”
Luke Wharton hurriedly said: "Don't fight so hard with 100 points, thank you, I have a book here on how to control emotions, you can read it, and you won't be affected by their coldness when the time comes." ”
It seems that they all know that Xie Chen is a face-loving person, and they also want to retire in a glorious way, even if this may not be the only time they retire?
Xie Chen said angrily: "Can't you say something nice? I don't have a grudge against the 76ers, and they are at the bottom of the East, they can't make the playoffs, and this is my last visit to Philadelphia this season, so why can't they be a little more enthusiastic about me? ”
The crowd laughed, and Richard Jefferson said, "You know, whoever thinks of the worst in advance is a little more receptive when it happens." ”
Well, this group of guys made Xie Chen even more nervous.
Finally came the second away trip after announcing the retirement decision, the first time the Warriors did not give face at all, not only did they have no small gifts, no welcome ceremony, but also booed all over the court, which made Xie Chen very hurt, I hope that this time the 76ers can be so cruel......
"I won't be booing again when I come out, will I? Can anyone tell me how many points I've scored here before? "Xie Chen has abused too many opponents in the past, and he himself doesn't know what crazy moves he has done against the 76ers.
The Lakers players played one by one, Ingram and Rohr Deng did not cause a particularly big response at the scene, and there were many spectators, but they seemed to be silent.
Wait until Xie Chen appears......
"No more boos!" Xie Chen thought as he ran.
As soon as I appeared, the audience cheered! It's deafening!
Xie Chen was taken aback on the spot, this happiness came too suddenly......
"Thanks, you're the greatest athlete!"
"If you retire and come back, come to our Philadelphia 76ers!"
The audience welcomed Xie Chen with the warmest applause, and after that, there was another game between the 76ers and the Lakers, but it was at the home court of the Lakers, this is Xie Chen's last visit to the Philadelphia 76ers home court this season, and it may also be the last time in his career, so the 76ers fans cherish it very much.
Xie Chen was excited, this is the treatment that should be done when you come to the away game, you won't see me in the future, why boo me!
Xie Chen stretched out his hand and greeted everyone with a smile, and his teammates all smiled and came over to congratulate Xie Chen, it was not easy!
There were a lot of fans at the scene, this was probably the fullest game of the 76ers this season, and the legendary star of the 76ers and the idol of a generation, Allen Iverson, also came to the scene!
"Is AI here for me, too?" Xie Chen was even more moved.
What moved Xie Chen was still behind, and he saw that Brian Colangelo, the president of the 76ers, suddenly came to the stage with a microphone in his hand, and the scene instantly quieted down.
Speaking to the crowd, Colangelo said: "Today, we have a great opponent, Crischet. ”
The scene immediately applauded, and Xie Chen was also stunned, this is ...... To give a small gift to the rhythm!
Colangelo smiled at Xie Chen, and continued: "Xie has been doing all kinds of unbelievable things since he entered the league, in just over two years, his achievements are amazing, his ability is admired and feared, I, including many people in our team, have always been loyal fans of Xie, it is a pity that Xie announced that he would retire after winning another championship, I think Xie can do it this season, that is to say, this may be the last time Xie will visit our Wachovia Center Arena, we should give him the warmest applause, Thank you to him for everything he has done over the past few seasons, he has given us the greatest and greatest performances! ”
Driven by the president of the team, the fans at the scene applauded more and more enthusiastically.
Xie Chen seems to be in the middle of the home court, and the 76 team's Okafor, Ben Simmons and others also prepared gifts for Xie Chen, Xie Chen knows that his farewell tour can only be regarded as the real start from this one, it seems that it is still very useful to defeat the Warriors and beat the Jazz.
With such high respect at Xie Chen's age, Xie Chen is definitely the first person in NBA history. (To be continued.) )
