It's twelve o'clock in the evening, but everyone is still not happy, Harden and Wei Shao, who have been eliminated a long time ago, naturally have no worries, this year the Warriors were eliminated, Curry and Durant also want to relieve their worries and get drunk, no one knows whether the Warriors' Big Four can be together next season, and they don't want to think about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

James and Xie Chen, the two finals opponents, sat together and drank a lot, and the two began to chat openly.

James put his arm around Xie Chen and complained to Xie Chen: "Xie, do you know how many times you have provoked me? Hit me with a ball more than once, right? Until now, as long as I stand in front of you and watch you pass, I will subconsciously block the following, for fear that you will smash it at me again, as well as my head, my back, if it were someone else, I would have slaughtered that guy a long time ago. ”

"Hahaha." The two laughed, in this regard, Xie Chen is indeed very sorry for James, but James is also the most senior star in the league, but Xie Chen always embarrasses James on the court, but none of those actions just now, Xie Chen did it on purpose.

James said: "This finals, it's time to replace me once, you have to be careful!" ”

In the chat with James, Xie Chen also heard that James wanted to get some information about himself through this party, and Xie Chen was not afraid to tell him frankly: "LeBron, I can tell you very frankly, I believe you have guessed, now I don't have any ability to hide, so you don't need to worry about me suddenly taking out some secret weapons when fighting against me, I have done everything I can do for you to see." ”

Although James really drank a lot of wine, and now he is really a little drunk, but when he heard Xie Chen's words, he was still subconsciously shocked, he didn't have time to think about whether Xie Chen was setting a trap and deliberately letting James relax his guard, and then hit them by surprise, James knew how dangerous it was for the Lakers to take the Warriors, if Xie Chen still had the ability to hide, it was impossible not to take it out when he played against the Warriors.

James said: "Thank you, you've always had fun with hidden abilities, and no one in the league can compare to you when it comes to creating topics and making people marvel, not even Michael Jordan, the greatest of the past, but since you've shown all your abilities, I don't think you're in a good mood." ”

Xie Chen said: "Yes, I've been dominating the headlines for the past three years, and I like that when I come up with some hidden abilities, everyone reacts excitedly, and I ...... the first time I've been in the All-Star dunk ."

"Oh, I remember that time, or I gave you an assist, I knew you would put on an amazing dunk, so I can't wait to pass the ball to you, after your dunk, it just made the audience excited, the day before the game, it happened to be Zach LaVine slam dunk contest to win, when everyone thought that the league's best dunk was Zach LaVine, everyone found out that they were wrong, the time you chose to use your dunk ability, it's amazing!" Before Xie Chen finished speaking, James rushed to speak.

Xie Chen nodded with a smile and continued: "In addition to dunking, there are many more, my back, my left-hand ability, especially my real layup ability that I only took out against the Warriors, the moment I appeared, I felt that the whole world was trembling because of me, although there were only 20,000 people in the stadium, I felt the amazement of millions of people, I liked that feeling." ”

"So, when you don't want everyone to feel this way anymore, you will ......" James saw Xie Chen say this, and also took the opportunity to ask Xie Chen to say whether he would really choose to retire, James wanted to hear that definite answer.

Who knows, Xie Chen suddenly said: "Let's quietly wait for new characters to appear in the alliance, they will dedicate new stunts, the rules are changing, the competition is changing, and the abilities are always emerging, aren't they?" ”

James was very strange, why did Xie Chen talk about it and pull it on others? Of course, he believes that there will be many excellent players in the league in the next few years, which have never appeared in the league, but what does this have to do with Xie Chen?

"It seems that Xie is still not drunk, and he will not easily tell me his true decision." James knew that it was difficult for him to know what Xie Chen really thought before the series began.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, no matter how Xie Chen decides, even if Xie Chen is determined to retire, and retirement is more beneficial to James, James will definitely not think about losing to Xie Chen, and finally reach the finals, he will do his best to defeat Xie Chen and win the championship, as for next year Xie Chen will become an obstacle to James again, every season is as difficult to predict as life, who knows if Xie Chen can enter the finals next year?

However, for the stars of other teams such as Harden and Wei Shao, they all hope that the Lakers can win, although they are emotionally reluctant to Xie Chen, but they can at least win the opportunity to win the championship in the past few years, they all regard Xie Chen as the Jordan of the year, and they don't want to be Barkley.

The next morning, the whole Cavaliers team had all arrived in Los Angeles, although James and Xie Chen drank a lot and drank late, but they still got up early to train the next day, and waited for a season to wait for the finals, how could he relax at this time?

After the whole team was gathered, James also cheered all the members in the training gym.

James said: "I can responsibly tell you that Xie has no hidden ability, so with their series, we don't have to worry about accidents, but even the ability he has shown so far is enough to give us a headache, he can score on the inside, outside, in any position, defending him is by no means a player's business, but all of us, the Warriors have actually done a very good job in limiting his three-point and long-pass fast break, even if they lose to the Lakers, we have to learn from the Warriors." , Limit Xie like they did, once Xie's three-point shooting is opened, it will be really troublesome, Kyle, you made a good three-point shot in the series against the Raptors, and we need you to continue to get better in the Finals, especially when Xie is difficult with three-point shooting. ”

James looked at Kyle Korver, who was previously traded from the Hawks before the trade day deadline, and Korver is also one of the few new main additions to the Cavaliers this year, so James has high hopes for Korver, and in these series of Eastern Conference playoffs, James has also been passing the ball to Korver, allowing him to build confidence in order to have a magical performance in the Finals.

"No problem, I'll be very excited to face off against Xie." Korver said confidently.

At this time, Kyrie Irving suddenly said with a somewhat unhappy face: "Hey, have you seen ESPN's prediction for the results of this Finals?" Of the 26 columnists, 22 believe that the Lakers can win, and only four believe in our Cavaliers. ”

Every time in the finals, ESPN invites columnists to predict the outcome of the finals, in fact, sometimes they are quite accurate, especially Ian Begley, who predicted that Xie Chen would win the championship in the past two years when people were not optimistic about Xie Chen, and this year, like most columnists, he still predicted Xie Chen to win the championship.

James also took the mobile phone and took a look, being so despised that James was naturally very unhappy, James snorted coldly and said: "If I haven't entered the finals in the past two years, everyone still thinks that I won't play in the finals!" ”

He wanted to say that he was the one who won two finals! However, if he goes in twice and wins twice, it will be more domineering, and James should not have missed those championships in the past.

Irving is also very angry, why are so many people all optimistic about the Lakers and not the Cavaliers? The Cavaliers have a big three, and the Lakers only have Xie Chen!

In the past two years, Owen still regarded Xie Chen as a player of the same weight as himself, and felt that the two could at least explode each other, but now, not to mention that Owen can't compare with Xie Chen one-on-one, even if Owen, James, and Lefu combined, they can't compare to Xie Chen!

This makes people unhappy when they think about it, but the problem is that Xie Chen just defeated the warriors with the Big Four as a single core, no matter how many knight giants there are, there are no more warriors, right? Therefore, whether it is a columnist or an ordinary fan, everyone is generally optimistic about Xie Chen's Lakers.

Kevin Love was not so angry, and said with a relaxed face: "Being despised like this is not necessarily a bad thing, Xie alone led the team to overthrow the Warriors is indeed very remarkable, the Lakers are a team with 75 wins, and they have never defeated a luxury team that has never been defeated, but if we are defeated in the finals, doesn't that prove that we are stronger?" ”

Tyronn Lue also walked over and said with a smile: "Kevin is right, don't you want to beat a team with 75 wins to create the best record in history?" Don't you want to beat the team that beat the best luxury team? ”

Even James was immediately excited, of course they wanted to! Anyone wants to beat such a tough team that is destined to be remembered by history!

"When people in the future mention the team with the best record in history, but lose the finals, they will think of my name James, what an honorable thing!" It was impossible for James to release the water, and now he wanted to defeat Xie Chen even more!

……

Lakers Training Gym.

The Cavaliers have already solved the opponents in the East and entered the Finals to wait for work, the Lakers suffered a little in terms of fitness, and two days later it was the first game of the Finals, and the Lakers did not have any time to relax and recover at all.

Xie Chen also got up early in the morning to train, even if he drank a lot last night, but when there was an unfinished major event in his heart, it turned out that he couldn't get drunk no matter how he drank.

The seven big battles between the Lakers and the Warriors really drained all the physical strength and talent of the Lakers, Xie Chen was injured, Mozgov was injured, Randle was also injured, Ci Shiping was even reimbursed for his career, although the Cavaliers Big Three were slightly easier to deal with than the Warriors Big Four, but Xie Chen didn't know if the help provided by his teammates would be reduced.

"Hey, Mozgov, how's your injury?" Xie Chen patted Mozgov on the shoulder and asked.

Mozgov smiled and looked good, "It's not a big deal, I can continue to play on the day of the injury, not to mention two days later, don't worry, I don't have any problems." ”

Xie Chen nodded and said, "In this series, you want to let your old teammates see your scoring ability under the basket." ”

"No problem." Mozgov was also ready to take on his former teammate.

Similarly, Richard Jefferson, as a member of the former Knights, is ready to impress them.

The Lakers have former teammates from James, while the Cavaliers also have teammates from before Xie Chen, such as Derrick Williams.

When Derrick Williams and Xie Chen partnered with the Knicks, Xie Chen had already shown Williams' talent to everyone, and the fast-break combination of the two of them made it difficult for any team in the league to stop, but I didn't expect Williams to play very poorly after trading to the Heat, in fact, the most important reason is that there is no player like Xie Chen in the Heat team, Xie Chen can make his teammates outstanding, not to mention that Williams himself is more compatible with Xie Chen.

But after coming to the Cavaliers, Derrick Williams shined again and played at a level as bright as the Knicks, it can be seen that James is no worse than Xie Chen in terms of making his teammates excellent, at least both of them are much better than other stars, the same role player, worthless next to other stars, but after being teammates with the two of them, he can play at an almost All-Star level level.

There is also Korver, in the past matchup with the Cavaliers, Irving's three-point and JR Smith's three-point shooting can also pose a threat to Xie Chen, but they are not three-point shooters who focus on three-point shooting after all, and Korver is, his stability and ability to shoot three-point shooting are very scary, and they also need to be guarded against.

Luke Walton walked towards Xie Chen with a relaxed face and said, "I heard that you drank late with LeBron James, James Harden and the Warriors players last night, I thought you would sleep until noon." LeBron knows we have a good chance of beating them, and is willing to drink with you before the game, and he doesn't seem to care about the result as much as he used to, but I guess he must have wanted something from you last night. ”

Xie Chen also said bluntly: "That's right, I told him that I don't have a secret weapon." ”

Luke Wharton was a little surprised by Xie Chen's confession, Xie Chen has always liked to confuse his opponents, and even sometimes his own people are unwilling to reveal the truth, why is he so honest with his opponents this time? However, Wharton didn't think it was a big deal, and Xie Chen's current all-around ability was enough for the knight to deal with.

"Your relationship with LeBron seems to be getting good, but don't forget that he's got you into trouble before," Wharton said. ”

"I know, and he assured me that he wouldn't do anything like that again, win or lose." Xie Chen said.

Both Wharton and Xie Chen believe that LeBron James will do what he says, and if James questions Xie Chen like this again, I am afraid that he will no longer be respected by players in the league.

"I'm sure LeBron won't be able to afford to lose, but even so, I still think the kind of collision that you had with LeBron before shouldn't happen again, and there will be a lot of people watching this year's Finals, including those who want to investigate you," Wharton said. ”

Xie Chen also suddenly felt pressured.
