Chapter 503: Let's Fight with the World!
Every time an old and retired star shows up on the sidelines to watch a game, people sigh and sigh and miss their glory days playing in that stadium.
For example, Iverson watched the game at the 76ers' home court today, and many people miss the lone hero who single-handedly brought the team to the finals, rebellious, stubborn, stubborn, and tenacious.
However, Xie Chen never felt like this, because Xie Chen had been fighting against them at the pinnacle.
Iverson is a unique existence, Xie Chen has always known this, but after Iverson almost shook Xie Chen down, Xie Chen clearly understood Iverson's power, it was really easy to be alone, in an alliance where people are like forests, it is not easy to have such a self-confidence, and even contempt for opponents.
It seems that the only thing that can compete with Iverson's pride is Stephen Curry's unreasonable three points.
Xie Chen has a lot of offensive ability, and the only thing that can convince the unruly Iverson is estimated to be Curry's unreasonable three points.
Xie Chen also began to dribble in the face of Iverson, using Curry-style dribbling movements, rushing forward from the three-point line, Iverson has always wanted to break Xie Chen's ball, but Xie Chen's dribbling is also skillful, and Iverson can't break it easily.
Iverson has been taken to the free throw line by Xie Chen, and he thinks that Xie Chen's next step is either a pull-up jump shot or a layup, but he never imagined that Xie Chen suddenly dribbled back!
"How did he walk with his back to the basket?" Iverson was stunned.
It wasn't until Xie Chen walked out of the three-point line that he suddenly turned around and threw a three-point shot quickly!
"He's going to shoot a three!" Iverson, who has always been a maverick, would never have imagined that he would meet a more maverick guy than him, this is completely nonsense!
However, the ball was pinpointed into the basket!
Iverson was speechless.
That's Curry's unreasonable three-pointer. At that time, when Curry played this move, Coach Kerr was anxious on the sidelines, and when he saw Curry dribbling the ball inside the three-point line, the front was blocked, and he didn't pass the ball. Kerr yelled at Curry on the sidelines what the hell was going on! However, when Curry turned his head and shot a three-pointer outside the three-point line, Kerr, who was originally angry, laughed helplessly, Curry was a little messy, but people just scored, what can you say!
"I love your style." Iverson admired Xie Chen, who didn't care about other people's ideas and rules, and stepped forward to say to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen replied: "somemenareborntobehero has always been my motto. ”
Iverson also smiled and said, "Always be true to yourself, it doesn't matter what others say about you." When I won the scoring title, when I led the team to the finals, people said I was a tragic hero, and if I couldn't do that in the future, they might have scolded me. But I've always been who I am, nothing has changed. ”
Xie Chen suddenly remembered that in 2009, when Iverson was looking for a job everywhere, he also said, "I want to prove that those who have slandered me in the past year are wrong", and he still hasn't changed anything by that time. However, in his prime. His street style, his rebelliousness and straightforwardness are personalities, but when he gets old, he just doesn't know the rules.
This world is precisely snobbish reality, the mean can last forever, Iverson is as lonely as a sword, when he is at his peak. Everyone had nothing to say, but when he failed, people began to comment on him for being selfish, assertive, unable to get along with his teammates, and even about his arguments with his wife, and his mother's upstart in jewelry.
But. People have never thought about it from his point of view, they have not thought about the soul of a teenager born in a slum in 1975, he can't even afford a pair of basketball shoes, abandoned by his biological father, and witnessed his adoptive father in prison, Iverson is full of anger at the world, and this is an era of heroes based on victory and defeat, so he can only use his 183CM74 kg body to hit the basket again and again, no matter how tall and strong the opponent is, no matter how many times he will be injured.
"Let's go fight with TMD World!"
Iverson has had a string of successes, and if he had won the championship on his own in 2001, the impact would have been unimaginable.
Xie Chen likes to fight with this kind of person who dares to challenge even the sky, and then, Xie Chen hit another three-pointer, which also caused Iverson's foul.
Xie Chen didn't plan to stop, he kept throwing and entering, and the opponent kept fouling, but he still couldn't stop it.
O'Neal once P a picture on INS showing Curry seriously defending Iverson, and said that if the two can have a peak matchup, it must be very exciting! After all, two people, one against the sky, the other day by day.
Curry is destined not to have a chance to face off against the peak AI, but Xie Chen did it instead of Curry, and it's a pity that O'Neal didn't have a chance to see this game.
Tonight is Iverson's 60-point night, Xie Chen still can't stop Iverson, whether it's three-point or pull-up jumpers or breakthrough layups, Iverson is a perfect interpretation of his identity as the best scorer.
However, Xie Chen's three points were also very unreasonable, and finally defeated the legendary 76ers, after both sides were off the court, Xie Chen took the initiative to walk to the 76ers bench without waiting for the game to end, and the players of the 76ers were very puzzled, and thought that Xie Chen was going the wrong way.
Because as soon as the game ended, the scene had to be switched, and Xie Chen was afraid that he would not have time to say too much to Iverson at that time.
Iverson scored 60 points in this game, but Xie Chen scored 70 points, although Xie Chen defeated Iverson, but Iverson did not have much hostility towards Xie Chen, he admired this guy who did not play cards according to common sense like himself.
Xie Chen simply dragged Iguodala away and sat in the 76ers bench to chat with Iverson. It was a unique sight, and Iverson laughed, as he liked to challenge the rules too much.
Finally, Xie Chen hugged Iverson deeply and said: "AI, for so many years, you have been fighting against the world alone, maybe you can't win the championship, but someone wins the championship because of your influence." ”
Iverson has defied the odds to this day. You don't know if his character is because of his recklessness, heroic nature, or just his innocence that has never changed......
The scene switched to the NBA arena in 2016, and seeing these opponents in front of him again, Xie Chen immediately became lost. Even if you look at the league as a whole, where can you find a player like Iverson when he was younger? It will never be seen again.
In the end, the Knicks beat the 76ers lightly, while the Hornets suffered the Cavaliers but lost, which is also a rare victory in the Cleveland Cavaliers in recent games, I don't know if the Hornets did not win the Knicks......
The Cavaliers are still second in the East, the Raptors are still first in the East, and in the next game, the Knicks will play the Raptors.
The Raptors have teamed up with several other teams to prevent the Knicks from making the playoffs. Although the conspiracy did not succeed in the end, Xie Chen always kept it in mind, it stands to reason that the angry Xie Chen should fight on the head of the fierce dragon and cut him for 80 points to relieve his anger, but in such a special situation now, the way to retaliate is not to win, but to lose.
The Raptors have been wanting to lose lately. But he can't lose, and he sees that the Knicks are about to sit in the eighth place in the East. How can they not panic?
Before Kyle Lowry came to New York, he reached an agreement with DeRozan that this game can only be lost, not won, and they believe that the Knicks should also do their best to win, after all, it is only the last two games. In order not to have accidents, they should try their best to keep the win together, and once the Raptors lose two games in a row, they may fall to second place in the East and not meet the Knicks.
So. Xie Chen's goal tonight is also very clear, that is, to let the Raptors win, do everything possible to lose this game, the real revenge is in the first round of the playoffs, Xie Chen wants to complete the black eight against them!
After the game started, Xie Chen threw a three-stick as soon as he came up.
Kyle Lowry was very unhappy when he saw it: "Xie is so shameless, as the best three-point shooter in the league, he deliberately threw a three-pointer, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by fans!" ”
Obviously, Xie Chen is also planning to lose this game, Lowry and DeRozan are both nerve-wracking, what should I do?
But if you think about it carefully, maybe we can't compare to you than winning, but compared to losing, you Xie Chen may not be an opponent!
You can cast blindly, I can also cast blindly, you, the most popular star in the NBA, are not afraid of losing fans, what am I afraid of?!
Lowry was sideways, not afraid of being blamed, and threw a three-pointer directly as soon as he came up, deliberately working harder than his usual shooting habits, but unfortunately, the ball hit the rebound and rebounded into the basket!
Lowry was momentarily stunned: "Damn, how can this goal go in?" ”
The Raptors coach is also very unhappy, and if he scores again, he will replace you! Before the game, Xie Chen specially chatted with the Raptors coach, which mentioned that if the first round of the playoffs is really blackened, then the faces of the whole team will not know where to put it by then.
Gotta lose, gotta lose!
Defend, give me a hard shot to empty them!
However, there is a better way for Lowry to do so than to completely empty his opponent's shots.
Foul when Xie Chen shoots three points, so that even if Xie Chen can't shoot, he will get three free throws, if Xie Chen can shoot the ball at the same time, so that the opponent will be given four points at one time, why worry about not losing the ball a few more times?
Lowry has been waiting for Xie Chen to shoot three points again, and he was soon waited for, when he saw Xie Chen raise his arm to make a shooting action, Lowry immediately pounced fiercely, he was going to foul, but Xie Chen was not stupid, he knew what Lowry wanted to do, so he just made a fake move and didn't shoot.
Lowry saw that he was shaken, and his body did not hit Xie Chen, this would only be an ordinary foul, and Xie Chen would not make free throws, so he flew sideways past Xie Chen, giving Xie Chen a chance to shoot in an empty position.
Xie Chen really wanted to shoot, but Lowry felt that with Xie Chen's character who was not afraid of losing fans, it was estimated that this ball would deliberately miss, so Lowry was ready to foul Xie Chen from behind Xie Chen.
Syllable!
Lowry's arm was not light or heavy, and the referee did whistle immediately, but Xie Chen was far more exaggerated than Lowry imagined, as soon as Lowry hit him, Xie Chen's whole person fell directly to the ground.
This is not an ordinary foul, this was judged as a malicious foul, Lowry is a little confused, I just want to lose, I don't want to lose!
"Damn, a few thousand dollars are gone!" Lowry was a little depressed, but the thought of still sending the opponent to the free throw line, and the thought of losing more than the playoffs and missing the Knicks, felt less distressed.
However, Xie Chen's performance surprised Lowry, Xie Chen showed that he was injured by Lowry, and he couldn't miss the free throw.
"If I had known, I would have committed a malicious foul." was fined, but Lowry still didn't achieve his goal.
Lowry didn't dare to play like this anymore, even if this money was nothing to him with an annual salary of tens of millions, he never thought that Xie Chen was so good at winning, and he was still a master when he lost.
The two sides didn't dare to play so badly all the time, and the goals that should have been scored still had to be scored, so they played a slightly abnormal three-quarter game in the normal, and finally in the fourth quarter, the scores of the two teams that deliberately wanted to lose were still difficult to distinguish.
DeRozan couldn't help but complain to his good brother Lowry: "It's the first time I think it's such a hard thing to lead the score. ”
Lowry said: "Brother, don't worry, the defeat is definitely ours, I'll teach you a way, and then you actively fight for defensive rebounds, deliberately pretend to get rid of them when you grab them, and then send the ball to them in the basket." Since they don't want to score, we'll score them! ”
DeRozan swallowed, he had never played basketball like this after so many years......
DeRozan did so, when the Knicks missed the shot, he was the first to rush over to grab the rebound, in fact, there were three people standing under the basket, all of whom were Raptors, DeRozan got the basketball in the air, just like Lowry explained, deliberately pretending to get out of his hand and let the ball rise again!
Lowry watched quietly under the basket, well, the performance was a little deliberate, but overall it was okay.
Just as the basketball flew back to the basket, he saw a big palm suddenly block his way.
Valanciunas, a member of the Raptors! A ball that "got rid of DeRozan" was saved.
"Come on, brother, take it this time." After landing, Valanciunas handed the ball to DeRozan.
DeRozan was speechless for a while, doesn't this big guy know that the team is going to lose this game?!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect them to think of this way to lose, it's not bad, I'll use it well." Xie Chen saw what the opponent wanted to do, and next time he directly sent an own goal to the opponent, adding two points to the Raptors.
The Raptors are leading more and more, but Lowry and DeRozan's faces are getting worse and worse, and what is even more annoying is that Xie Chen also stepped forward to thank them and said, "Man, thank you for the creativity." (To be continued.) )
