At the press conference after the game, Xie Chen participated with Luo Er Deng, who also played well, Luo Er Deng obviously wants to learn more from Xie Chen in terms of dress, although he and Xie Chen are both newcomers to the Heat, but for this kind of occasion, Xie Chen is more experienced than Luo Er Deng.

Xie Chen already knows how to answer reporters' questions, and has begun to learn to ease the atmosphere and make some jokes in Yan Sù's Q&A.

The reporter's question was expected by Xie Chen early on, such as why he repeatedly cooperated with his teammates in the game, why he had never done this before, and whether it was because the opponent was the Los Angeles Clippers, known as the "city of empty connections", did this? For example, the current team has won 12 consecutive wins, what kind of goals do they have for the future, etc.

Of course, the reporters still don't give up asking this question, which has been asked more than a hundred times.

"Chris Shet, maybe you're tired of this question, but I still want to ask again, you once said that you would answer us in half a month about whether to fight Stephen Curry's three-point contest challenge, have you made a decision now?" A black reporter asked with a stern look on his face.

After the reporter asked, he thought that Xie Chen would be very unhappy, but in fact, Xie Chen was waiting for this question throughout the press conference, although he already had the answer in his heart, but Xie Chen still calmed down, pretended to think, raised his tide-framed glasses up, and then said seriously: "Ladies and gentlemen, I now officially announce that I accept Stephen Curry's invitation, and I will sign up for the All-Star Three-Point Contest this year!" ”

The personnel selection of the All-Star Three-Point Contest is, on the one hand, to invite the defending champion and the top few three-point shooting percentages this season, players can refuse, and on the other hand, they also accept the player's registration, in fact, most players are unwilling to sign up, except for some young people who are eager to get on the top. Whether it is an invitation or a sign-up, Xie Chen is basically certain that he can participate in this year's three-point competition.

As soon as Xie Chen's words came out, it immediately spread throughout the league, and after James Harden heard it, he also expressed his willingness to score three points with Curry and Xie Chen, and Korver couldn't wait to beat these people in the three-point contest.

There is still a period of time before the All-Star Game, but if this edition is really a combination of Xie Chen, Curry, Harden, and Korver, it will definitely be a rare excitement in several years, and LeBron James even tweeted that he also wants to sign up to compete with these people.

Wade never expected that the team would still be able to maintain a winning streak after his own hiatus, and in order to thank his teammates, he invited the whole team to his villa for a dinner, accompanied not only by the players, but also by the team's coach Spoelstra and president Pat Riley.

Patt Riley, who always has a big back and is always spotless, eats a steak baked with puff pastry ham and mushrooms, while clinking wine glasses with Spo.

After LeBron James left, it once caused a headache for the two Heat helmsmen, but now, who would have thought that the regular season has played so far, and the Heat still have not tasted defeat? Currently ranked No. 1 in the league! But both of them know very well that even if the current record is very good, they still have a lot worse than they want to use this lineup to compete for the championship, and the championship puzzle is not complete.

At this time, Xie Chen, who was a little drunk, came over with a wine glass, he was fed up with the noise of Chalmers, so he wanted to run over to find the two "old men" to be quiet.

As soon as Xie Chen walked over, Pat Riley smiled and said, "Xie, your cousin has been getting better and better recently, and you have played a vital role in the few games that Dwyann has been missing, and you can release it to your heart's content tonight." ”

Xie Chen shook his wine glass and smiled: "I don't need to be released, Mr. Riley, in fact, I don't feel too stressed, and I don't feel hard." But it's impossible to say that it's not hard at all, every time I chase a point with my teammates, I face a problem, rebounding, we are too far behind our opponents in this area, and now McRoberts is injured again, so can I suggest a suggestion to Mr. President? Let's sign some good interior lines, we need it too much. ”

Coach Spo interjected, "Thanks, I'm actually talking about that with Pat Riley as well. ”

Riley laughed, "That's right, I've got the right guy, and soon you'll be welcoming your new teammates." ”

After hearing this, Xie Chen said that he was looking forward to it, but he didn't dare to have too much hope in his heart, after all, it was hard to find a good inside line.

However, Pat Riley did not break his promise, and after two more victories, on November 25, the Heat officially announced the signing of Development League center, Hassan Whiteside.

Hassan Whiteside, 213cm tall, 107kg in weight, and 236.5cm in reach, was selected by the Kings in the 33rd place in the second round in 2010 and played for the Kings for two seasons, playing in 19 regular season games, averaging 1.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

During the 2012-13 season, Hassan played for the Houston Rockets, and then played for China's NBL, the National Men's Basketball League, which was previously considered a Division II league in the CBA......

Then, until he was cut twice by the Grizzlies this year, he averaged 8 minutes per game, 3.4 points and 3 rebounds and 1 block in the Grizzlies preseason.

After learning about the team's "big news", Xie Chen couldn't wait to search for information about his new teammates on the Internet, but he was disappointed after reading it, and thought that Riley had signed what a powerful center, with Hassan's strength, it was barely blue-collar workers, right?

Since Hassan didn't have a brilliant number in the past, there were many people who shared Xie Chen's views, including Wade and Bosh.

……

Miami, Heat Training Gym.

Coach Spo gathered the whole team together, and then brought a big man of more than two meters, although Xie Chen had never seen this person, he recognized at a glance that this was the team's newly signed center Hassan Whiteside!

Coach Spo explained: "This is our new signing centre-forward Hassan Whiteside, and I believe his arrival will allow us to continue our winning streak. ”

"Welcome, Hassan." As the leader of the team, Wade was the first to step forward and shake hands with the other party.

Then there was Bosh, who was very arrogant in front of Hassan, and in order to let him know that he was the current boss of the team, he told Hassan very strictly: "Now that the team is on a winning streak, you have to train hard and try your best to get into our rhythm and state, understand?" I'll show you how to do it under the basket. ”

It can be seen that Hassan is a little dissatisfied with Bosh, but there is no way, for a player like him, it is already rare to have an NBA team willing to sign, and he does not dare to have any disputes with the team boss, and the other players of the Heat are also very cold to him, and he will soon be left alone.

At this time, Xie Chen walked up to the lonely Hassan, patted Hassan on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, man, I know you, you played in China!" Do you know? The two teams you've played for are not far from my mother's hometown! Do you like it there? ”

"A must." Hassan actually replied in Chinese, and immediately became happy: "I love it there and miss the fun of playing there, but my dream is in the United States, in the NBA, maybe you don't think, but I believe that one day, I will prove myself in the NBA." ”

Xie Chen nodded, he, like Hassan, was ignored and underestimated by others at the beginning, and he had a basketball replication system, so he became popular, but unfortunately, Hassan is not such a lucky person, but where there is a will, there is a way, Hassan may not be able to become a top interior player like Howard Yao Ming in the future, but he will also make achievements in becoming a team substitute center with hard work.

Xie Chen took Hassan to learn about various places in the stadium, and also told some interesting stories about some team players, and also warned the other party that even if he offended Wade, he couldn't offend Bosh, because Bosh is now very possessive of power and status. For this, Hassan kept it in his heart, and he was also very grateful to Xie Chen, and regarded Xie Chen as a good friend in his heart.

After coming back, Xie Chen wanted to practice Rose's layup skills, because now the fusion of Rose's layup skills has been increased to 89%, and it won't be long before this skill will be fully fused, so Xie Chen wants to do the final sprint.

He called his friend Chalmers, who had already established a friendship, and in order to promote the integration of Hassan and his teammates, he also invited Hassan: "Do you want to train with me, I will break through to the basket, you defend me under the basket, just let me see your defensive strength." ”

Hassan was still a little embarrassed, but how could he refuse, Xie Chen's invitation, so he smiled: "Okay." ”

Xie Chen broke through Chalmers with the ball, Chalmers interfered with all kinds of interference, the two giggled and laughed, and in the end, Xie Chen still passed Chalmers and used Lowry's power, after that, Rose's ability was turned on, and in the face of Hassan, Xie Chen had a dodge in the air.

Chalmers behind him smiled: "This guy's stay in the air is getting more and more **, in the past few games, the opponent who has used this trick to fight has no temper, how can this kid Hassan be able to prevent it." Alas, although the team has won in a row, if we find an inside line with this level of ability, it will be difficult for our Heat to win the championship! ”

Just when Chalmers was worried about the team, his eyes suddenly lit up!

I saw that after Xie Chen staged a big lever in the air, he obviously avoided Hassan's block before, but in the end, he was still slapped by Hassan and sealed on the rebound!

"Oh, what a domineering block, it seems that this kid's defense is not bad, Xie's current layup level is very good." Wade, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but be shocked after seeing this scene.

After being covered, Xie Chen was simply stunned, Hassan could actually cover himself? He is infinitely close to fusing Ross's ability, which means that Hassan is not covering himself, even if it is Rose, it is also correct, this kid can!

Although it was covered, Xie Chen was very happy, why was he happy? Because Hassan is not an opponent, he is a teammate!

The Heat have a future!
