As one of the best point guards in the league, Paul has to always pay attention to the growth of Heat rookie Xie Chen, although Paul's playing style is not as flamboyant as his good brothers James and Wade, and he does not have a particularly arrogant move on the court, but in fact he has always considered himself the best No. 1 position, and he also admits the ability of Wei Shao and Curry, but he does not think they are better than himself.
Only Xie Chen, Xie Chen is too different, he is too comprehensive, if Paul and Wei Shaocurry are different types of players, one has excellent overall vision and organizational skills, and the other has strong individual scoring ability, then Xie Chen is a combination of these two types of No. 1 positions!
Paul handed over an astonishing number of 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.2 steals in his rookie season, and became the steal king that season.
The score is almost twice as much as his own, and the rebounds will definitely exceed according to the trend of these two games, the assists are only slightly inferior, only steals, Xie Chen only has steals that are behind Paul, but Xie Chen is 193CM, and it is normal for steals to be inferior to Paul, and Paul's biggest flaw is height.
Therefore, when O'Neal was jokingly complaining about Paul, Paul felt so uncomfortable, of course he couldn't really retire, but the battle with Xie Chen's first point guard may be one of the most important things in Paul's life in the next few years.
Justin Bieber on the stage slapped his chair with a smile, he is also an NBA basketball fan, so he is very clear about NBA things, watching O'Neal complain about Paul for a while, of course, he doesn't like Xie Chen very much, it's just that he doesn't know that he has dealt with Xie Chen, that night in Houston Pit Beverley's wine finally drank Xie Chen's stomach, and finally contributed to Xie Chen and Scarlett's one-night affair, although thanks to Justin Bieber, Xie Chen was able to have a relationship with Scarlett so early, but with Xie Chen's character, Obviously wouldn't be so light on this guy.
But before Xie Chen could still use the color, O'Neill spoke for Xie Chen.
O'Neal no longer complained about Paul, but pointed to a group of people on the stage and said, "Look at this group of guys on the stage, this is the most disappointing lineup I've seen since the last Lakers game." Justin Bieber, I have a question, what kind of 1 would smash a neighbor's house with an egg? Why did you spend seventy-five thousand dollars at a Miami ballroom? After I heard that the DJ played your song, those women were gone. ”
The audience burst into laughter, and Justin Bieber was so angry that he wanted to stand up and fight with O'Neal, and this complaint had risen to an insult to him! However, in view of the huge difference in the bodies of the two, Bieber stood up and sat back obediently, I believe that Xie Chen and Howard will be very relieved when they watch the show broadcast.
Paul was also amused by O'Neill, and laughed all the time, but after laughing, until the way home, Paul kept thinking about O'Neal's sentence "If I were you, I would choose to retire before Xie Chen came to Los Angeles".
Looking at the beautiful night of Los Angeles, Paul clenched his fists and said secretly: "I must win the next game!" ”
Back at his villa in Los Angeles, Paul ran to his room without eating or even drinking, turned on his computer, downloaded the game between the Heat and the Trail Blazers, and watched it repeatedly.
Yada Crowley, Chris Paul's wife, saw Paul come back after participating in the comedy show but stayed in the room sullenly watching the video, a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, seeing Paul watching the game between the Heat and the Trail Blazers over and over again, Crowley looked at the schedule of the Clippers, it turned out that the next game was going to play the Heat, but even so, Crowley had never seen Paul study the opponent in advance.
After observing behind Paul for a long time, Crowley realized that Paul had been paying attention to the Heat point guard Xie Chen's every move.
How could Crowley not know that Xie Chen is the fastest rising star in the NBA today, at this time, Crowley finally stepped forward, put his arm on Paul's shoulder, and said with a caring face: "Honey, why do you just watch this game repeatedly?" If you want to study your opponent, you should watch all of his past matches. ”
Paul then smiled and kissed his beloved wife, I didn't expect that without saying it himself, Crowley could guess his thoughts, having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for, Paul smiled: "You don't know, Xie this kid is very different, his progress is too fast, the past games do not reflect his strongest strength, if you want to fully understand him, you must observe in his recent games." ”
"And what are you observing? Does he have any weaknesses to exploit? Crowley asked.
"Weakness?" Paul hesitated, in fact, Paul didn't think about finding out Xie Chen's weaknesses through the game video, he was more observing what Xie Chen can do now, after observation, Paul found that Xie Chen is still stable in terms of three-point shooting, as long as there is a chance, the shooting percentage will not be too low, the breakthrough is still sharp, the layup is still handsome, the backward jumper is rarely used, but as long as it is used, it is a Kobe Bryant-style action, and the rebounding ball is very good.
Looking at it this way, Xie Chen seems to be very comprehensive and has no flaws, maybe Xie Chen's block is not good, and the steal is not good, but is this considered a weakness? Paul didn't think so.
However, his wife's words really surprised Paul, he suddenly turned off the video, and then went to the official website to look up Xie Chen's personal number, not to see his scores, rebounds, and assists, but to see the average turnovers per game!
"What? It's only 1.5 times? How is this possible! Paul was so shocked that he immediately stood up!
Crowley was also immediately frightened: "Honey, what happened?" ”
Paul reassured his wife again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, my dear, thank you for the reminder, you go out first, let me be alone for a while." ”
"Okay." Crowley didn't bother anymore, leaving Paul alone in the room.
Paul's face was full of disbelief: "As a team's main point guard, a player who needs to hold the ball for a long time, a rookie player who has just entered the league, a player who integrates organizing the whole team and attacking himself, the league's leading scorer so far, has only averaged 1.5 turnovers per game, this number is terrible!" ”
It's no wonder Paul is so shocked, in fact, Paul is already one of the stars with the strongest ability to control turnovers in NBA history, he averaged 9.9 assists per game in his career and only 2.4 turnovers, and the assist-to-turnover ratio reached 4:1, which is very amazing.
The Magic averaged 11.2 assists and 3.9 turnovers per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.9.
Stockton averaged 10.5 assists and 2.8 turnovers per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.7.
The Smiling Assassins, aka Paul's template, are averaging 9.3 assists and 3.8 turnovers per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.4.
Xie Chen has been focusing on scoring since the start of the game, and currently has only 5.4 assists per game, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is 3.6, which is not as good as Paul, but as a scorer, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have an average of 3 turnovers per game, Harden has more, and Xie Chen's 1.5 turnovers are too few!
At this moment, Paul remembered Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, who is not in vain, and has the ability to control mistakes, and Joe is still the well-deserved historical first among the wing swingers. Because when Jordan is single, he is rarely cut off, shuttles through the crowd, and can always protect the ball firmly, no matter how the opponent gets up and down, he will never lose control of the basketball, Jordan may be the player who has been the most caught in history, but he is also the best player.
Paul was thinking in his heart, could Xie Chen's ability to control mistakes be comparable to the god of basketball? Paul does not doubt that there are talented people in the country, and Xie Chen may become Jordan or even surpass Jordan in the future, but he never believes that a player can do this in the first season, never believe it!
Sit down, watch, and watch all of Xie Chen's games repeatedly! Paul doesn't believe that he can't find the reason why Xie Chen made fewer mistakes!
Finally, half an hour later, when Paul saw an image, he noticed the strangeness in it.
During a Heat attack, Hassan ran to the basket, which was empty, and reached out to Xie Chen for the ball, and Xie Chen was indeed ready to pass the ball to him, and had already made the action to give, but when he saw a defender appear on Hassan's right side, Xie Chen stopped the action and did not pass it.
"Why didn't he pass the ball?" Paul was puzzled: "There is indeed a defender on Hassan's side, and it is indeed possible for him to rush over and steal this pass, but is it just because of this possibility that he will not pass such a good opportunity?" ”
Then, Paul saw another game.
Xie Chen dribbled the ball, accidentally dribbled the ball to his feet, and saw that he was about to go out of bounds, only to see Xie Chen running like crazy to pick the ball back.
'Why does he value the ball so much? The team was already leading by many points, but his form seemed to be a matter of life and death. ”
Paul continues to look for Heat game videos.
Then, he found a problem, as long as Xie Chen encountered a bag, he would either shoot immediately, or pass the ball out immediately, and never stick to the ball.
When going to the basket, Xie Chen and Ross are very similar to each other, they both jump with their feet, and they hold the ball tightly with both hands to prevent it from being knocked out, although Xie Chen's layup feels very domineering, and he can score in any situation, but it all appears in the case of few defenders, once the defensive formation is not suitable for breakthrough, Xie Chen hardly has a strong attack.
When Paul finished watching these videos, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, he lit a cigarette and smiled secretly: "A rookie player, an All-Star player who is eager to become famous, should have an offensive choice not to play, should have an assist and not pass, play so cautiously, no wonder there are so few mistakes, I finally know, it turns out that Xie's few mistakes are not because of his strong ability to control mistakes, but because of ...... He didn't dare to make a mistake! Thanks, I finally know your weakness!
