Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rhetoric to Jordan
Hornets locker room.
Stephenson stood panting in the middle of the players, holding the bottle of Gatorade in his hand, but he never reached his mouth, but stood there dumbfounded.
His dull eyes look particularly mentally retarded, and of course, "mentally retarded" here is definitely not a derogatory term.
Stephenson snorted, "Guys, don't you think that rookie of the Heat is a second-class guy?" It's a no-brainer to play! Catch the ball and throw, completely ignoring my save zΓ i! Gambling-style steals and blocks again and again! God, how did Coach Spo allow such a cancer to remain on the team? It's unfortunate. β
The league's recognized two goods to count down others' two, this is a new thing, to talk about the word "two", I am afraid that there are few alliances today that can compare with Brother Stephenson.
In the playoffs last year, when Stephenson was still in the Pacers, with 3 minutes and 39 seconds left in the third quarter of the second game, Stephenson fell while chasing LeBron James and made a fainting move, and the witty referee did not bird him.
Then, Stephenson blew into James's ear, this scene made basketball fans at home and abroad laugh, and when it comes to second goods, Stephenson is definitely the best.
In fact, Stephenson has a mediocre relationship with these Hornets teammates and has not yet established a deep relationship, so after Stephenson finished asking, no one paid attention to him.
Stephenson was very annoying, very annoying, because Xie Chen scored 17 points in the first half, he didn't feel that he couldn't defend well, but even if he defended well, the opponent had unlimited firing rights, and he couldn't stop the other party from scoring.
"Damn it! Xie this second goods, a rookie actually occupies so many balls, and the defense is completely like a layman, and he doesn't follow discipline at all, I don't want to defend him anymore, it's too cheap. Stephenson felt that he should not be in the company of Xie Chen, and asked the coach to change someone else to defend Xie Chen.
Heat locker room.
Chalmers is silent, Cole is silent, Rohr Deng is silent, Bosh is silent, Wade is silent, Coach Spo is also silent, everyone doesn't speak, the Hornets are not a strong opponent, but this game is more tiring than playing the Rockets! It was Xie Chen who scored, and it was Xie Chen who let the opponent score! Everyone didn't know what happened to Xie Chen today.
Coach Spo will no longer reprimand Xie Chen like a rookie, because Xie Chen has grown into a potential star, and his status in the team has gradually become second only to Wade and Bosh, so he plans to reduce Xie Chen's playing time.
At the beginning of the second half, Kerr took the lead, he hit two three-pointers in a row as soon as he came up, and sent two assists, the table was extremely eye-catching, at this time, he smiled proudly at Xie Chen, and said secretly in his heart: "Boy, you want to take my place, you are delusional!" β
Even Coach Spo is considering whether it is more appropriate to let Cole be the starter in the next game, yes, Xie Chen's personal strength is a little stronger, but Xie Chen also has a lot of unstable factors, and the two are offset, maybe he is not as good as Cole.
Cole played for five minutes, and Xie Chen was late to play.
Jordan, who was sitting on the sidelines, finally cheered up, there was no Xie Chen's game just now, it was really drowsy to watch, Jordan said secretly: "You should feel Spo's dissatisfaction with you, I hope you don't act willfully anymore, play seriously, defend seriously, let me see, how much strength you have, let me see, how strong your learning ability is!" β
The reason why Jordan wanted to see Xie Chen play with his own eyes was not because of how unnatural Xie Chen's strength was, he was amazed by Xie Chen's learning ability and progress speed on the field, but in this game, I am afraid that Qiao Gang Leader will not be able to witness Xie Chen's rapid progress, because the integration degree of "Lowry Breakthrough Skill" has reached 100%!
In addition, the integration of "Curry's three-point shooting skills" has also been increased to 60%! Since Curry's skill set is S-level, there is limited progress in a game, and Jordan doesn't feel anything.
After Xie Chen came on the field, he was a little uneasy in his heart: "What should I do now?" Do you continue to brush up on jΓΉ or play honestly? If I continue to brush up on jΓΉ, I may be put on the bench by Coach Spo in the next game, but if I play honestly, I won't be able to reach 200 points after this game, and against Wiggins, I only have the strength to break through and only 60% of three-pointers! β
Wiggins is amazingly tall and talented, as long as he gets serious, he is very likely to beat Xie Chen, and Xie Chen must have a layup or mid-range shooting skills!
"Even if I am treated as a sinner, even if I am despised by Jordan, I will be done with this game!" Xie Chen has strengthened his determination, after this game, he must reach 200 points!
In the first half, Xie Chen also wanted to assist his teammates several times, because an assist also increased by 2 points, but the number of assists was not easy to obtain, and the ball passed to his teammates, teammates may pass it to others, even if he shoots by himself, whether he can shoot or not depends on luck, so Xie Chen has now completely given up assisting his teammates and is working alone!
Shoot outside the three-point line, use Lowry's breakthrough skills, frequently break through or shoot or make layup fouls, Xie Chen is simply the current Kobe of the Lakers, occupying a lot of shots, and coincidentally, Kobe and Xie Chen happen to be the first and second places on the current scoring champion list, yesterday's game against the Suns, Kobe Bryant scored 39 points, but the team still lost.
Unlike Kobe, the Heat have a better chance of winning, because the Heat have Wade and Bosh, on the other hand, because of Wade and Bosh, Xie Chen's Kobe-style crazy shot has become a little unreasonable, he is not the boss of the team, he is not alone, why is he so alone?
Wade and Xie Chen have already established a friendship, so they will not resent Xie Chen, and Bosh was favored by Xie Chen in the last game and won a lore, so now, he didn't say anything.
Until the end of the game, the Heat won with a score of 95:89, and I can't praise how well the Heat played if they could win, but it can only be said that the Hornets are too weak and played too badly today.
After the game, when the players on both sides shook hands with each other and saluted, Lance Stephenson said to Xie Chen very unceremoniously: "Rookie boy, although you have scored more than 40 points, don't be complacent, because you will soon not even have the opportunity to play, as a professional and mature athlete, I solemnly tell you that playing basketball is to use your brain!" β
"Thank you, thank you Lance, your professionalism and maturity and unmatched high IQ are amazing, I will remember it very much." Xie Chen said with a very sincere face, stunned that Stephenson didn't realize that Xie Chen was sarcastic about him, maybe in his heart, Xie Chen was already a second goods with no solution.
When Hornets coach Clifford bumped shoulders with Spo, he also said something in his heart in a very rare way: "Your team's zero is a time bomb, tell Mr. SΓΉ Riley, stay away from such players." β
Spoo looked embarrassed and didn't respond.
In this game, Xie Chen scored 42 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, excluding the points lost by mistakes, a total of 87 points, Xie Chen was a little too strong, far exceeding the target of 76 points.
Now, he has 213 points and has been given copy rights again, and the next time he opens it, he needs 300 points!
After the game, the fans also dispersed, but Xie Chen did not walk directly to the players' tunnel, because he suddenly found that Michael Jordan, who was originally sitting on the sidelines, was missing and seemed to have left early.
He admired Jordan very much, and Jordan meant a lot to him, so he rushed out of the stadium and came to the parking lot, and happened to see a Mercedes-Benz sedan coming, just when Xie Chen guessed whether this was Jordan's car, the Mercedes-Benz sedan drove to Xie Chen and stopped, and the back seat window slowly lowered, revealing Jordan and his wife Yvette.
Jordan looked at Xie Chen, who was still wearing a competition jersey, and looked puzzled: "Why did you appear here?" β
Xie Chen was overjoyed when he saw Jordan: "I'm here to find you, Mr. Jordan." β
Jordan doesn't like to make friends with others casually, especially Xie Chen's numerical maniac: "You shouldn't come here, you should stay with your teammates." β
Xie Chen felt Jordan's coldness towards him and said, "Michael, I know, I disappointed you." β
Jordan smiled: "No, you're not on my team, if there is, it's Riley and Spoelstra." β
Xie Chen no longer disturbed Jordan moving forward, he didn't come to get close to Jordan, he just wanted his idol to know that he was not a second guy who didn't know how to play basketball, and he was not a selfish maniac!
Finally, before Jordan raised the window, Xie Chen said the last words: "Michael Jordan, one day, I will prove myself and prove that I am a basketball player as good as you!" β
(Curry's three-point king this year, copycat Curry said that the other party is very arrogant, is there any.) οΌ
