Chapter 789: The Battle of the Comeback!

Xie Chen, the first person in the league, announced his retirement in the third season, which shocked the old guys at TN.t, especially Xie Chen's wife Katie, who worked here, and they didn't get any news beforehand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When such a big thing happened, the program team hoped that Katie would personally host this episode, but Katie said that when the Lakers played at home in the future, she hoped to accompany Xie Chen as much as possible instead of working.

The host obviously became very serious today, and asked the TN.T group: "What do you think about Chris Shet's announcement that he will retire after winning another championship?" Do you think he's serious? If so, why did he make this decision? Michael Jordan also said that he didn't feel challenged when he won three championships in a row, and after winning three championships in a row, would he have this feeling of not wanting to continue playing? Only Shaq has won three in a row, so I'm sorry Charles, and while I know you have a lot to say about this, let's let Shaq say a few words first. ”

After the host finished speaking, several old guys, including Charles Barkley, laughed, after so many years, Barkley's uncrowned terrier is still being used, and Barkley is still sore from time to time.

O'Neal laughed a little, and then began to become serious and said: "The biggest goal of every NBA player is to win the championship, and if he completes the championship, he has already realized the meaning of his career, how many great players, by the end of their careers, have not even won a championship, like this brother Charles Barkley next to me, how many stars choose to leave their team for many years and switch to other teams for a championship ring, even if it is just to be a substitute player?" I want to say that stars who have won a championship are two completely different mentalities from those who have not won a championship, such as D-Wade, who switched to the Bulls this season, why is he unwilling to continue to sacrifice? Because he already has three championships and one FMVP in hand, he doesn't need to win the championship anymore, his career is perfect enough, and he is not a three-time champion, few people know what it feels like to win three championships in a row, it just so happens that I have accomplished this feat, after I won three consecutive championships with Kobe, after I won the FMVP for three consecutive years, I feel that my desire for the championship is not so strong, I have become lazy, but Kobe is different, he still wants to continue to win the championship, of course I want to win it, Just not as hungry as he is. Thirsty, and he wants to take it as the boss, but what about me? I've already taken three in a row as the boss! It's the same for today's Xie, he won three championships in a row as the team boss or even a single core, what else does he need to prove next? Since there is nothing to prove, why can't he choose to retire? ”

O'Neal's words have been recognized by everyone, although not everyone present has won the championship, not everyone has completed three consecutive championships, but the players who have won the championship and the players who have not won the championship are absolutely different in terms of mentality and desire for the championship.

Charles Barkley continued: "I also think Xie is not joking, and I think this is something he has planned for a long time, from the content of his retirement, you can get a message, that is, whether he retires or not, at the end of this season, he has already revealed all his hidden abilities, and there will be no surprises for everyone next season, that is, he has designed which ability to expose in which season from the first season, and the Heat is still a strong team that has reached the Finals for many years in a row in the first season, There's D-Wade, there's Chris Bosh, and the amazing Hassan Whiteside, so Xie didn't use too much ability that season, and in the second season, he went to the New York Knicks, who had a very poor record, but he still had a superstar teammate Carmelo Anthony by his side, and then he gradually began to show some more ruthless abilities, and this season, he didn't have a star teammate, so he showed all his abilities, what a perfect plan, and finally retired with three consecutive championships, This guy is literally walking according to the plot he has set! ”

Today, the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas was also on the scene, and Thomas said: "I'm not sure if Xie really wants to retire, maybe he has this idea now, but who knows? Maybe he really won the championship and didn't want to retire again? If you don't look at the championship, you have to look at the money, right? He's the most expensive NBA player, how much does he have to earn a year? How much money do you have to make for the league? If he really retires, it is really a great loss to the league, believe me, Adam Shaw will cry, if he really retires, I can guarantee that within three years, he will definitely come back again, just like Michael Jordan back then, we can look forward to the 'iamback' that will shock the world, haha. ”

Kenny Smith said: "I think you all talked too early, Xie said that he will retire after winning another championship, and the key problem is that he can't win the championship this season!" Even I think that as long as KD is in the Warriors and there is no helper by Xie's side, he will not have a chance to win the championship in the past few years! ”

O'Neill said: "Kenny, we can't predict what the future holds, but we have to plan for the best and the worst, which means that now we have to assume that this season Shea will win the championship and retire, and then, from now on, every game, every away game, will be a tour!" ”

O'Neal is right, although he knows that the Lakers have little chance of winning the championship this season, but every game of Xie Chen, everyone will have the feeling of watching one less game, especially those opponents who have played once may not have the opportunity to play again.

It just so happened that the Pistons team that was about to face was such an opponent.

This is the last time the Lakers play against the Pistons in the regular season, given that it is difficult for the Pistons to break through in the East and become the champion in the East, that is to say, if Xie Chen really wins the championship and retires this season, then this game is the last time Xie Chen plays against the Pistons.

Zhuang Shen Andre Drummond felt very incredible when he thought of this, Xie Chen was two terms later than him, how could he retire earlier than him?

Xie Chen has always been a player that Drummond admires, and losing to Xie Chen in this year's slam dunk contest can be said to be convincing, he even worships Xie Chen as a god, and he has thought about following Xie Chen to the championship in the future!

……

On the night of the game, Staples Center.

Today's game was also broadcast by CCTV, and I didn't plan to turn this ball, but Xie Chen's retirement decision made CCTV change its mind, and it will turn the Lakers as much as possible in the future.

The Pistons are currently seventh in the East, and with only a month to go until the end of the regular season, they must strive for every victory, even if they know that this may be the last time they play against Xie Chen, and they will never let the Lakers win easily.

When Xie Chen appeared in the arena, the whole court was lively as if he was holding an all-star game, Xie Chen had already missed two games, this was his comeback battle, and there was a decision to retire, and everyone was very excited.

"It's so sad, when the regular season was about to end last year, I was very sad, because Kobe Bryant was retiring, and I finally looked forward to a new superstar, but I didn't expect Xie to decide to retire, it's really miserable to be a Lakers fan."

"Luckily we can still see Xie in the playoffs, but I really don't know if I should hope for the Lakers to win the championship, if they win, then we won't see Xie play again......"

The mood of the audience was just different from the previous excitement, and tonight they all looked a little sad, and there were even many fans holding signs, saying that Xie Chen would play for ten years with the Lakers and then retire.

With the decision to retire and return to the arena, Xie Chen's mood has also changed greatly.

"This is supposed to be the last time I hit the piston, right?" Xie Chen looked at his opponent on the court, thinking in his heart that since it was likely to be the last fight, this game must impress these Pistons guys on his own.

As soon as he came up, Xie Chen rushed straight to the basket and challenged Drummond head-on, Drummond was not afraid at all, did not flinch, jumped up head-on to meet him, Xie Chen's last attack was to dunk James, and this time he faced a strong opponent, everyone was curious, will there be such a shocking scene again, will Drummond also be deducted like James?

Xie Chen has already used O'Neal's dunk ability once, which has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, because the difference in strength between the two is too great, Xie Chen decided not to use it anymore, even if it comes to the critical moment of the playoffs, Drummond and Xie Chen have no grudges, he naturally will not use such a brutal way to deal with him as soon as he comes up.

Xie Chen and Drummond did not collide, because Xie Chen did not intend to be his own, and after deceiving Drummond, he made a light pass to Mozgov next to him, and Mozgov got up directly under the empty basket and dunked violently.

"You're too easily deceived, man." Xie Chen said to Drummond.

Drummond smiled too, which only stirred up his fighting spirit.

Then, Xie Chen's bottom line slipped in and jumped up to dunk at a fast speed, Drummond was too late to reach out again, and was deducted by Xie Chen with a 2+1.

"You're too slow, man." Xie Chen said to Drummond again.

Playing against the Lakers before, Drummond didn't remember that Xie Chen loved to talk to him so much, unless someone provoked Xie Chen first, otherwise if you didn't know each other well, Xie Chen wouldn't have that time to talk to you.

Drummond realized that Xie Chen might feel that it was the last time he faced the Pistons, and Drummond couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are you really going to retire?" Will this be the last time we will meet in our careers? ”

"Probably." Xie Chen said lightly.

Drummond made a sad face, which was too much to accept, the two of them were such young players, but they had only played together for three seasons, and they had never met in the playoffs, and they didn't have many games combined.

"If you do retire this season, the guys in this year's draft are going to cry." Drummond said he had played three seasons with the most versatile player of all time, but what about the rookies of 2017? They may be looking forward to going to the NBA to play against Xie Chen, but when they come to the NBA, they find that the greatest player has left.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, the golden generation of 03 years, all regard Michael Jordan as their idol, and it just so happens that they were selected into the NBA in the summer after Jordan retired in 2003, and they just didn't have the opportunity to play, which has also become a regret for many fans.

Xie Chen's decision to retire may be able to imagine the feelings of the players in the league, but he can't imagine the regret of those future superstars who have not yet entered the NBA.

Xie Chen's performance tonight was quite good, with violent dunks, ultra-long three-pointers, unsolved step-back jumpers, left-handed layups, and all kinds of move abilities were revealed, he just wanted these opponents to remember Xie Chen's all-round!

Watching the score being pulled apart little by little, the Pistons players gradually realized that Xie Chen, who had just come back, and Xie Chen, who had just decided to retire, the Lakers at this time were by no means something they could beat, since Xie Chen wanted these Pistons players to remember him, then they also wanted Xie Chen to remember themselves!

Drummond showed domineering ability on the rebound, and even completed a dunk on Mozgov's head, not only that, but Drummond was able to hit a half-court whistle three-pointer!

Last season, Drummond hit ultra-long three-pointers more than once, all outside the half, and today in the face of the league's strongest ultra-long-range three-point player, Drummond didn't know whether to pay tribute or what, and took the initiative to take on the role of ultra-long pitcher.

Drummond also got his highest points and rebounds of the season tonight.

Xie Chen came back tonight, facing the Pistons, who may be the last opponent, and scored 47 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds, and finally led the Lakers to defeat the Pistons and stabilize the first place in the West.

Today's victory over the Pistons has relieved many Lakers fans, I didn't know when Xie Chen would return, if the Lakers continue to lose like this, I'm afraid that the first place in the West will soon be caught up by the Warriors.

"Now I still only lose 7 games, I don't know if the Lakers still have a chance to break the regular season record, Xie decided to retire, so maybe every game will be played as the last game, if you look at it this way, the Lakers still have a chance!"

"It's a pity that there are still a lot of games ahead, if there are only a few games left, then I firmly believe that Xie will definitely lead the team to break the record, at least it can be drawn."

The Lakers fans at the scene still talked about the regular season record, and I am afraid that they will not stop fantasizing until the Lakers lose 9 games.

After the game, Drummond was the first to step forward to say goodbye to Xie Chen, Drummond and Xie Chen hugged each other deeply, and said emotionally: "Xie, if this game is our last meeting, I just want to say that I used all my strength!" ”

Xie Chen was also very moved after hearing this, and at this time he felt his value in the hearts of other players in the league...... (To be continued.) )
