After the game, the players on both sides shook hands with each other and saluted, and the Raptors players were obviously unwilling, after all, they worked hard for three and a half quarters, and the score was always comparable.

The Raptors are not a team that often collapses in the fourth quarter, such a team does exist, and the most familiar to domestic audiences is the Rockets during the Yao Mai period, and some netizens once ridiculed the Rockets team led by Adelman like this: the first quarter is a comedy, the second is an action movie, the third quarter is a thriller, and the fourth quarter is a disaster movie.

Every loss of the Rockets affects the hearts of Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, although Yao Mai left, the Rockets are still one of the most affectionate and well-known NBA teams in the hearts of Chinese fans, and next, Xie Chen's opponent is the Houston Rockets!

When Xie Chen shook hands with Lowry and touched his shoulders, this guy said very arrogantly, I have already figured out your offensive routines, I will definitely prevent you from killing you next time, Xie Chen just smiled faintly, and said thank you, which made Lowry feel inexplicable.

After the game, Bosh, who got the team's highest score, was interviewed by reporters, and Xie Chen, who had not had time to change his clothes, was suddenly called by the team's president Pat Riley, which flattered him, all along, Riley has always been a mysterious and unpredictable store for Xie Chen, just like the grandmaster in a martial arts novel, since joining the Heat, Riley has never talked to Xie Chen alone, this is the first time.

Riley is very tall, he is almost as tall as Xie Chen, but at the age of 69, he has already gray temples, and when he laughs, he can clearly see the traces of crow's feet in the corners of his eyes: "Well done, Chris Xie, you got two doubles today and helped the team win at a critical moment, this is only your third game, as far as a rookie is concerned, your appearance is undoubtedly excellent, in fact, from the first game, I have noticed you, since the start of the regular season, you have surprised me very much, I have always wanted to find a chance to talk to you, On your position and role in the team. ”

Xie Chen is respectful to Riley, not because he is the president who can control his own life and death, but because of his identity as a coach, Riley has always been Xie Chen's most respected NBA coach.

Xie Chen said: "I'm honored, Mr. Riley, in fact, I have long admired you, and I have always wanted to find a chance to talk to you. ”

Riley smiled, "Really? I'm the one who should be honored, hehe. Today I noticed that your breakthrough posture, your center of gravity is very low, and there are a few times when you want to squeeze through with your body, which is why I want to talk to you, your body suffers even in point guard, if you want to be a dangerous point guard, then you have to improve your strength, I am going to send you a special strength trainer, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Xie Chen suddenly felt flattered, in fact, he had already planned to gain weight and improve his strength: "Mr. Riley, I really don't know what I should say to express my current mood." ”

Riley patted Xie Chen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, you are too out-of-this, you joined the Heat, we are a family, we are a whole, in addition to this matter, there is one more thing, I have told Coach Spo in advance, next game, you will be the starter." ”

"Starters?" Xie Chen's mood that had just calmed down surged again! For the position of starting point guard, Xie Chen has coveted it for a long time, Chalmers, as a veteran of the Heat team, created a big obstacle for Xie Chen, and the previous two games could not shake his position by slashing 30 plus per game, but he didn't expect to get a double-double today and beat Chalmers!

"Thank you President for your trust! I won't let you and the coach down! "It's not easy for a yellow person.

After this game, it was not only Pat Riley who looked at Xie Chen differently, but the team boss Wade also appreciated Xie Chen's rising star more and more, and when he was about to leave after changing his clothes, Wade first asked where Xie Chen lived, and after learning that Xie Chen lived in a civilian community where birds don't, he invited Xie Chen to sleep at his house tonight.

Speaking of Wade, Wade at his peak is also one of Xie Chen's most admired players, and it is undoubtedly an excellent thing to get closer to his idol.

Wade's wife Union personally cooked and entertained her, Xie Chen also drank some wine with the newlyweds, and after dinner, Wade and Xie Chen went to the basketball court in the villa, which is a villa that Wade added two years ago, six bedrooms, the villa also has a family bar, games room and a tennis court, with a living area of 13,000 square feet, and a beautiful sea view of Biscayne Bay at the doorstep.

The cool breeze was slow, Wade threw Xie Chen a cigarette called "American Spirit", this cigarette is as popular as the white Marlboro, the symbol is a statue of an Indian who is smoking, it is said that this kind of cigarette does not add flavors, pure tobacco tobacco products, Xie Chen took it and lit it, he was full of wine and food, took a big breath, and said with a smile: "When I have money, I will also buy such a big villa in Miami." ”

Wade smiled: "Haha, I believe that day will come soon, Coach Spo has already told me, you will start the next game, I will give you more opportunities on the field in the future, your future is limitless, continue to work hard." ”

Xie Chen picked up a basketball and suddenly said, "Do you want to fight bulls?" ”

Wade said indifferently: "Are you sure?" It's not that I look down on you, bullfighting, you're really not my opponent, and Kobe Bryant can't do it. ”

"Kobe Bryant is the first person to claim one-on-one, it seems that you are not very modest like him." Xie Chen teased.

Wade waved his hand: "Kobe Bryant is like this, he wants to be the first in everything, he has to be with Michael in everything, he lives too tired, I don't like this kind of life, I think people should accept their fate when they reach a certain age, to change the way of life and game, this year's Lakers are struggling, ESPN's group of old guys ranked Kobe Bryant 40th, needless to say that he has to prove himself with full firepower, why bother when he is old?" When the time comes, he will be injured again, and he will not be able to play the last two seasons of his career. ”

Xie Chen noticed Wade's current sluggish mental state, and said: "You have seen a lot, I remember that when you were 12 years, you were only included in the third team, and at that time, you were angry and slashed more than 40 points in the next game. ”

Wade looked thoughtful: "Haha, it's all old." I've spent my whole career proving myself and proving myself to those people who, hey, keep your eyes open and see clearly, how strong I am! But now. ”

Wade shook his head and didn't continue.

In fact, Xie Chen has always had a question in his heart that he wanted to ask Wade, because this question is too private and usually difficult to speak, but now in his house, both of them have drunk some wine, Xie Chen really can't hold it back, so he still opens: "Boss, you ...... Hate LeBron? ”

This summer, the Miami Heat was surging, and LeBron James' departure had a heavy impact on the Heat, especially Wade, at that time, in order to keep James, Wade took the initiative to choose to jump out of the contract in advance, you know, his contract did not expire until the 2015-2016 season, with a total amount of up to $41 million, but unfortunately, even when Wade jumped out of the contract and was ready to take a salary cut with Bosh to keep James, James still decided to leave.

After that, Wade signed a two-year, $31 million contract with the team, causing Wade to lose a sum of money in vain, of course, this money for Wade, he may not value, but for the departure of his brother, emotional abandonment or betrayal, he must not have a trace of complaints.

"It's all over, man, I don't hate him, we had a glorious experience between us, and that's enough, it's a pity, that glorious day, without you." Wade Road.

"There will be more in the future, and we will reach the finals." Xie Chen was full of confidence, but the old Jianghu Wade shook his head, maybe he didn't want to hit the young man's self-confidence, Wade took the initiative to pick up the basketball and said: "Your three-point and mid-range shooting are very good, but your layup skills are not good, for an ordinary point guard, the ability to make a layup is not very important, but I know what kind of point guard you want to be, not Stephen Nash, but Westbrook, Rose, a point guard who is a threat to offense, right?" ”

Xie Chen smiled shyly, this kind of behavior of snatching Wade's offensive possession, how embarrassed to admit it.

Wade continued: "Now, I'm officially teaching you my layup technique, the Lost Step. ”

"Lost Steps!" The Lost Step is Wade's famous stunt, and it is also his usual layup method after breaking through, he has used the Lost Step countless times to confuse opponents, and staged all kinds of wonderful layups or dunks, if he can point out a thing or two, it is definitely a great benefit.

Wade took the basketball and began to teach Xie Chen like a mentor: "The first and most important step of the lost step, after the fast break enters the basket, face the defender, because your speed has risen, and the opponent is stationary, which means that your every move will greatly affect the opponent's judgment, you first rush to the right to the defender, forcing the defender's center of gravity to follow you to the right." ”

"The opponent will definitely make a move, even if it is subconsciously, and then, quickly change the direction to pull the ball directly to the left, at this time, pay attention to keep a distance from the opponent's body, do not hit the opponent, and then, according to the situation at the time, you can choose to make a layup or dunk directly, come, you defend me, I will show you again."

Xie Chen stood under the basket, concentrating, Wade dribbled and killed quickly, and the lost steps changed left and right, making Xie Chen unable to defend himself, and in the end, after Wade deceived Xie Chen's defense, he actually staged a violent dunk! Xie Chen wanted to step forward to seal it, but he directly knocked him to the ground!

Damn, how can this guy still be so strong! It turns out that he is pretending to be in bad condition on the field!
