Chapter 236: James Ennis!
There are many things in the world, and if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, but it's a pity that Stephen Curry doesn't understand this truth, as the league's best three-point shooter, Curry had the opportunity to break the record first, and was finally robbed by Xie Chen.
Klay Thompson was right, the regular season isn't over yet, the Heat and Warriors both have four games each, and Stephen Curry has plenty of time to overtake the three-point goal.
Then, Curry's wow side emerged.
Before Xie Chen broke Curry's record, Curry played in a disorderly manner, but after Xie Chen broke the record, Curry calmed down, no longer forced three-point shots, and slowly waited for a good opportunity to shoot again, and then, Curry quickly broke the record of 272 three-pointers.
In the end, when these two games ended, Xie Chen had made a total of 275 three-pointers, and Curry was only one behind, with a total of 274.
Although Xie Chen took the lead in breaking the record, who is the final record setter of this season, is still in suspense, and the three-point contest between the two has really started from this day.
Xie Chen is another 40+ scoring performance, this is Xie Chen's sixth consecutive 40+ game, Westbrook, who originally had a good chance to compete with Xie Chen for the scoring title, has become a little overwhelmed, but the two are almost the same, and the suspense still exists, but if Xie Chen continues to be crazy like this, Westbrook will definitely lose to Xie Chen.
It is worth mentioning that () the Pacers also won on this day, while the Nets lost, and gradually, the Pacers became the team with the most hope of winning the eighth place in the East, Xie Chen has also been paying attention to these two teams, and is looking forward to the first opponent in the playoffs, who is it!
After this game, Xie Chen's personal system points accumulated to 700, and he was close to getting the next copying permission. It only takes three sessions to complete.
That night, Xie Chen did not practice breakthrough to improve Wei Shao's breakthrough skills, after all, there was still a period of time in the playoffs, which was enough for Xie Chen to improve to 100% before the playoffs, not to mention that there were still 30 fusion points, which could make Xie Chen sit back and relax.
He watched a video of the game for the night. It's not this one, it's not even an NBA game, it's the Australian league, and he's looking at one person, his teammate, James Ennis, the guy who won the MVP in the Australian league.
James Ennis was drafted in 2013 and was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks at No. 50 in the second round before being traded to the Miami Heat. After that, he moved to play in the Australian league, and Ennis chose Australia because of the latter's commitment that the team would release him unconditionally once the Heat called up.
During his time in the Australian league, Ennis averaged 22.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
Different leagues, different levels. Xie Chen naturally can't evaluate his teammates by Ennis's level in the Australian league, but. Watching him play to the fullest of his talent, Xie Chen had more and more high hopes for this guy.
That's right, until now, Xie Chen was still digging for every weapon he could use, and Beasley and Walker could help him, and his intuition told Xie Chen. James Ennis can also help him, even, more.
The next day, back to Miami, after training. Xie Chen left James Ennis alone, Ennis vaguely guessed what Xie Chen was going to do, did the team boss finally want to talk to him? Ennis has been waiting for a long time.
James Ennis was born in 1990, he is still very young, two meters and one meters tall, 95 kilograms, and now he is playing as a substitute for Rohr Deng, and the average number of games is not eye-catching, but from time to time there will be amazing tables on the court, such as a dragon after a steal some time ago, which made fans shout to see the shadow of LeBron James! Another time was a dunk from another person, speaking of which, Ennis's dunk is really good, very powerful, and very domineering.
Ennis took the initiative to pick up a basketball and walked up to Xie Chen, and said with a smile: "Do you want to be one-on-one with me?" Come on, I'm ready! ”
Xie Chen smiled, but shook his head.
Ennis was a little surprised, Xie Chen grabbed the basketball with one hand, and said, "This time, I won't let you be my opponent, but my partner." ”
"Partner?" Ennis took a spin on the basketball court and didn't notice any other players on the scene.
After a slight pause, Ennis realized and said, "You want to do cooperation exercises with me?" But I'm on the bench, you're a starter, you're partnered with Rohr Deng, you should be working with him, it's not often that we're on the floor at the same time, and you know, when it comes to the playoffs, Coach Spo might make me play less. ”
Xie Chen said: "I have partnered with Luo Er Deng for a whole season, I have long had a tacit understanding, and there is no need to practice, in addition, I have always wanted to find a teammate who partners with me on the fast break, now there is only D-Wade alone, Luo Er Deng is slow to lose weight, and as long as he encounters a white player who is thinner than him in the fast attack, he will use his body to bully others, and the success of the layup is not big, let alone three points." ”
"Your three-point shooting ability is something I value, in the Australian league, you even have a table of 11 three-pointers in a single game, and every time I see your fast-break tomahawk dunk, I think of another James, LeBron, you know, I regret missing the opportunity to be teammates with LeBron James, but I'm glad there is another James on the team, and he can do those moves."
James Ennis then understood Xie Chen's intentions, Xie Chen is now the league's steal master, after a steal, how to convert steals into points is an important issue in the playoffs, the opponent must pinch Xie Chen's point, if there is another person to help Xie Chen, then the Heat will be much easier to play.
James Ennis looked excited: "If there is this opportunity, I will definitely do my best to be your perfect fast-break partner!" ”
Xie Chen smiled: "You are quite confident, however, I ask you to train your speed in the next time, the speed of running, the speed of sprinting, the speed of breaking through with the ball, and the ability to dribble, and even, the speed at which you shoot three points." ”
"Huh? Need to increase the speed of shooting? Ennis was stunned.
"That's right, you're too slow to shoot, and in the playoffs, the opponent won't give you time to aim for the basket." Xie Chen said solemnly, to be honest, he is used to Curry's bt shooting speed, and he feels slow to see who shoots, and Ennis's speed is indeed a problem, if he can partner with Xie Chen like LeBron James, the combination of the two will definitely amaze the opponent, after all, both of them are dual-energy players who can shoot three points and dunk violently!
Finally, the boss of the team appreciated him, and Ennis patted his chest: "Boss, don't worry, I will try my best in this direction!" ”
"Hmm." Xie Chen nodded with satisfaction like a big brother who has been in the league for many years, in order to make himself, a rookie, more able to suppress these teammates, Xie Chen deliberately grew a beard, not to emulate Harden, the purpose is to look a little older, after all, he is the boss of the team.
Xie Chen asked Ennis to train in this aspect, also just in case, because there are too many variables in the playoffs, under the intense physical contact, anyone can be injured, once Luo Erdeng is injured and can't play, then the Heat will be in trouble, and when the time comes, Ennis is a good supplement.
Time flies, there are only four games from the end of the regular season in the blink of an eye, even if the Heat loses all four games, the Heat is still the first in the East, and this season is still successful, Coach Spo is very happy this year, people say that he is the luckiest head coach, and James has gained Xie Chen and Hassan, or at such a low price.
Seeing that the regular season is about to end, teams like the Heat have long stopped focusing on the opponents in the regular season, focusing on the playoffs, and considering the playoffs, Coach Spo communicated with Xie Chen more than once, asking if the other party needs to rest for a game or two, frankly speaking, although Xie Chen does not consume as much as other players, but after a season, it is really a bit unbearable, and the fatigue of the plane all day is enough for Xie Chen to be tired, plus the huge pressure on him.
However, there are about 100 points for one game, and even if Xie Chen wants to rest, he can't rest!
Therefore, Xie Chen firmly told Coach Spo that he would participate in all the remaining games.
Coach Spo and Pat Riley both sighed when they learned about it, they had no objection to Xie Chen's decision not to take a break, after all, James was also playing every game, and Jordan was the same in the past, what they didn't understand was why Xie Chen fought so hard, and when the regular season was over, he even scored 40+ per game, is it just to lock in this year's regular season scoring champion?
Pat Riley is 10,000 worried about Xie Chen, for fear that he will be injured again when he hits the basket, but soon, President Riley will no longer have to worry about this, because Xie Chen's layup style will change, and his layup skills will change from Rose to James!
James' layup is more simple and rough, directly squeezing the defender away, so how can he be injured?
Soon, the Heat welcomed the Chicago Bulls led by Ross at home.
Before the game, Xie Chen and Rose also had a good conversation.
The Bulls are now in fourth place in the East, and according to the current rankings, in the first round of the playoffs, the Bulls will face the Toronto Raptors.
Rose and Xie Chen stood in the middle circle with the ball, and Rose smiled: "The playoffs are about to start, the Pacers are in good shape after Paul George's comeback, but I didn't expect the Bucks to lose a wave and directly withdraw from the qualification to compete for the playoffs, your Heat has a great probability of facing the Pacers, are you nervous?" ”
Xie Chen asked Ross rhetorically: "If you play against the Raptors, are you nervous?" ”
Rose shook his head, then said, "Wait until I solve the Raptors, wait for me in Miami!" (To be continued......) R1292
