Chapter 126: Paul's Challenge!
Chris Paul was the first opponent to discover Xie Chen's secret, as Paul guessed, Xie Chen is not strong in controlling mistakes, and of course not bad, but Xie Chen plays extremely cautiously and does not dare to make mistakes!
Playing in the NBA, unless that kind of marginal player does not dare to make mistakes, because every mistake is very likely to affect his future, and stars, I have never heard of not daring to make mistakes, but Xie Chen is just such a player, he does not dare to make mistakes, because every mistake will deduct system points, especially when the points are close to copying permission, Xie Chen will become more cautious.
Paul pushed open the window, glanced at the lonely starry sky, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy face: "Thanks, although I don't know why you are so afraid of making mistakes, I will definitely take advantage of this and beat you and your team!" ”
Xie Chen, who was far away in Florida, naturally didn't know that Paul had seen through his secret, two days later, when he came to Los Angeles, Xie Chen's mentality and love were quite good, remembering the last time he came to Los Angeles, to Staples Arena, Katie showed her love in front of the audience, Xie Chen had a feeling of being separated from the world, and that sense of happiness still did not retreat, but just after sleeping with Scarlett, Xie Chen felt that it was difficult to face Katie now, after all, Katie and Scarlett have a deep relationship.
Xie Chen contacted Scarlett, who was in Los Angeles, and asked if the other party would like to come to the Staples Center tonight to watch herself play, Scarlett now seems to be very afraid of Xie Chen, and refuses again and again, and said that before the All-Star Game, Scarlett didn't want to watch any of Xie Chen's games live, and she didn't even want to meet Xie Chen, Xie Chen suddenly laughed, it seems that Scarlett is worried that she will be forced to stay overnight after watching the ball game at night.
Scarlett, who has always been arrogant, in Xie Chen's eyes, is no longer such a goddess who is so high and out of reach, no matter how noble a goddess is, as long as she is conquered once by a man on the big bed, in the eyes of that person, she is no longer a goddess, but a woman.
The Clippers have been on a lot of momentum lately, winning five of their last six games, and in their last four wins, they have averaged 25.5 points per game, and their only loss in the past two weeks has been to the second-place Hawks in the East.
And the last thing the Clippers want to lose to the Heat is not the coach, but Chris Paul.
"Hey, long time no see." After the players entered, Chris Paul walked over to greet the Heat players.
"Long time no see, CP3." Wade and Bosh shook hands with Paul, and the members of their dream team at the 2008 BEIJING Olympics had established a deep friendship back then, and Paul had a mature and stable personality, and everyone had a good relationship with Paul.
After greeting the two former teammates, Paul took the initiative to walk towards Xie Chen, stretched out his right hand and said, "Long time no see, welcome to LA, Xie." ”
Xie Chen also smiled and stepped forward to shake Paul's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again." ”
Paul looked at Xie Chen, with a deep meaning in his eyes that only he knew, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, I went to watch a TV show live, and O'Neill complained about me on stage, saying that Chris Xie was about to come to Los Angeles to challenge me, and persuaded me to choose to retire before you came, but unfortunately, I didn't do it." ”
Wade laughed when he heard this, slapped his arm on Paul's shoulder, and laughed, "Haha, Shaq has always spoken so exaggeratedly, hasn't he?" ”
Paul smiled, didn't speak again, and left Xie Chen with an extremely treacherous smile before leaving, Xie Chen felt that this smile was terrifying, and vaguely felt that Paul would not let himself play too easily in this game.
Xie Chen scored 125 points in the last game, which is a rather terrifying number, and his goal in this game is 95 points, because there are only 95 points left at present, and he can reach the copying authority, but he also knows that 95 points is not easy, not only to have high scores, high assists, but also to grab a lot of rebounds, and most importantly, not to have too many mistakes.
Xie Chen cheered up and was ready to play, before the game, Xie Chen finally cleaned up, every time he played away from home, Xie Chen had to compete with the mascot of the opponent team before the game, fortunately, the Clippers were one of the few teams in the league that did not have a mascot, and Xie Chen also saved a lot of effort.
Although there is less ridicule of the mascot, there are still fans of the Clippers who are targeting themselves, and some fans are holding the sign of the first point guard CP3 and the second point guard TSE and roaring excitedly, Xie Chen is not angry when he sees it, because he thinks that it is Wei Shao and Curry who should really be angry.
The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Heat team Hassan took the lead in making a blockbuster, jumping high and hitting the ball to Xie Chen, after Xie Chen got the ball, he just dribbled it, and suddenly, with a whoosh, Xie Chen felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and then saw Paul snatch the basketball away at once, and rushed to the basket to make a layup.
The fans at home were all shocked, and before they even reacted, they forgot to applaud!
"This guy is so energetic today?" Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, he never expected that Paul would fight so the first ball, if it weren't for Xie Chen's not yet entered the state, a crotch dribble to transfer the ball to the left, maybe it would make Paul, who was in the air, fall into the air.
“CP3! CP3!” The fans at the scene were all cheered when they saw that the star was so motivated.
Xie Chen was a little depressed, saying that he would get 95 points in this game, but now after playing here, he didn't get a single point, but deducted two points, which was really an unexpected start, but Xie Chen really didn't care, didn't he just have two points, and he came back with a mid-pitch.
After Luo Er Deng sent the ball to the backcourt and passed it to Xie Chen, Xie Chen was just about to dribble over half the court, when he suddenly found that Paul was sticking to him!
"The whole court is pressing?" Xie Chen was suddenly shocked, there was no need to be so desperate, right? That's just the first ball!
Coach Spo was also stunned for a moment when he saw it, but he felt that Paul should just step forward to interfere, and he wouldn't really defend like this all the time, after all, this is just the beginning, and Paul doesn't need to do this, unless he has no strength.
Xie Chen took two strokes, and really felt that Paul had eaten too much and had nowhere to go, this guy really wanted to keep himself on guard until the half, wasn't he tired? Or does he feel like a rookie and will make a dribble error and get a steal from him under his strong defense?
Although Xie Chen didn't know why Paul did this, but realized that Paul was deliberately targeting himself, Xie Chen was confident that he could dribble through the half court under Paul's defense, however, first, it was a waste of time and a waste of body, and second, Paul was indeed a steal master, even if there was only a one percent chance of being stealed, Xie Chen was unwilling to let it happen, because now he desperately needed points and didn't want to make any more mistakes.
Xie Chen passed the ball to Luo Er Deng and let Luo Er Deng dribble the ball past half court before asking for the ball back.
"I guessed right, Xie really didn't dare to make a mistake." Paul has actually been testing to see if his guess is correct, and judging from the table of the ball just now, Xie Chen is indeed as he guessed, and he is very alert to mistakes.
“wow!”
Staples Center, there was a sudden exclamation from the scene. Because just now, Paul, who was defending Xie Chen, suddenly rushed forward to steal, and almost snatched the basketball in Xie Chen's hand!
"Why are CP3 so excited today! It was not a minute before the game started, and he took the initiative to steal Xie's ball three times and twice! ”
"I guess it was Xie's table xiàn that aroused CP3's fighting spirit, and he wanted to use the table xiàn of this game to sue others, he is the first point guard in the league!"
Xie Chen was extremely nervous now, his dribbling arm was trembling a little, he didn't understand what was wrong with Paul! Isn't he worried that gambling steals will give him an open three-point shot? He should know how powerful his three points are!
Clippers coach Doug Rivers also touched his chin, a little surprised by Paul's appearance after the opening, Rivers led the Boston Celtics to win the championship in the 2007-2008 season, he has been in charge of Garnett Pierce Ray Allen, so he knows very well how to get along with the team's star players, in his opinion, Paul has the right to do so, and even if Paul's gambling steal caused Xie Chen's open three-pointer, Rivers will not say anything, the reason is simple, Rivers said that Paul must understand that since a person knows what the consequences will be, he still insists on doing it, that is the privilege of a star, and you have no right to ask.
Xie Chen asked while dribbling cautiously, "Chris Paul, you seem to have taken a stimulant today!" ”
Paul smiled, his eyes always staring at the basketball in Xie Chen's hand: "That's right, so you have to be careful, I will eat you at any time, I heard that your breakthrough is getting better and better, can you break through my defense?" ”
Paul began to take advantage of Xie Chen's weakness to make a good move, because in Xie Chen's offensive style, only a breakthrough layup is the easiest to cause a mistake, so Paul hopes that Xie Chen will make a breakthrough and let Xie Chen gain another mistake.
However, how could Xie Chen be fooled so easily? Xie Chen smiled contemptuously: "Break through you? I guess I just need to lift my feet to get you through. ”
Xie Chen sarcastically mocked Paul's height, suddenly pretended to break through and then stepped back to shoot, first return you a three-point shot! However, although Paul said that he let Xie Chen break through, he could not prevent shooting when defending, Xie Chen's feigned breakthrough did not throw off Paul's defense, at the moment when Xie Chen shot, Paul jumped up hard, stretched out his arm to interfere, and the basketball popped out of the frame.
After Paul got the ball, he and his teammates launched a fast break, and when he was close to the basket, he threw the ball high, and Griffin jumped high from behind and dunked the ball into the basket!
The City of Empty Connections! The fans cheered and applauded, this is their favorite team! Whenever the opportunity arises, it's an empty performance moment, and they believe they are the happiest fans.
After completing the air relay with Griffin, Chris Paul walked up to Xie Chen and said, "Tonight's air relay, we will perform 6 times. ”
