In 2014, when Xie Chen entered the NBA as a rookie, these seniors in the league included Wei Shao, Du Shao, and Curry...... They all want to educate Xie Chen, a newcomer, but Xie Chen didn't let them succeed, so Xie Chen also learned this tradition, in the face of rookies who have just joined the alliance, they must hone each other, and it is best to leave an eternal imprint in their hearts, who knows how fierce monsters they will grow into in the future, and they can't be polite when they can bully.

Now, people like Lillard, Wei Shao, and Paul George regret not slashing 50 points on his head when they first played against Xie Chen, and today, they no longer have this opportunity to bully Xie Chen.

It can be seen from Ingram's slightly nervous expression that he is not ready to enter the NBA, so this game is even more necessary.

Xie Chen said to Ingram: "Let me see your offensive strength first, I know your three-point shot is not bad, try to shoot a few three-pointers in front of me first." ”

"Okay." Ingram walked outside the three-point line with the ball, this was his first time playing against Xie Chen, who is now the strongest player in the league, and as a newcomer, he is inevitably a little nervous.

Ingram's height of two meters and six is more than ten centimeters taller than Xie Chen, and this guy is tall and has long arms, Xie Chen was the best defensive player last season, but these advantages are enough for Ingram to shoot in front of Xie Chen.

Ingram held the ball in both hands, observed Xie Chen's movements, paused, dribbled to the left side, and then suddenly pulled it up and threw it.

Syllable!

The first shot was ruthlessly blocked by Xie Chen.

Ingram's shooting speed is okay, but the shooting point is a little low, similar to Curry's three-point shooting posture, and Ingram relies on the advantage of height and arm length, obviously underestimating Xie Chen's defensive ability.

"He's so quick to react." Ingram was stunned by the first ball.

"Again." Xie Chen threw the ball to Ingram, and the two continued.

The second time, Ingram's shot was not covered, and Xie Chen didn't stick so tightly because he knew that Ingram shot three points, but he still interfered with the opponent's shot.

Ingram threw seven or eight in a row, and none of them made it.

Xie Chen's interference was not very strong, the real reason was that Ingram was too nervous, and there was a problem with his mentality, so he couldn't even guarantee his usual hit rate.

Xie Chen couldn't help but say sternly to Ingram: "Hey, you're a small forward!" If you can't shoot in front of an opponent of my height, then how can we expect you to shoot a three? ”

The two rookies recognized as the best in this year, the champion Ben Simmons and the top eye Ingram, one is known as a copy of LeBron James, and the other is known as a copy of Kevin Durant, Xie Chen also hopes that Ingram can become a projection master like Durant, relying on his height and arm length to ignore the opponent's defense, but Ingram's current performance is too poor.

Ingram was also in a bad mood, Xie Chen was constantly stimulating him, Ingram worked hard, and finally shot the first three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left side.

After the first hit, soon, the second and third hit one after another!

Xie Chen also showed a satisfied smile and praised: "Very good, this is the strength that the list should have." ”

Ingram's ability to shoot three-pointers is too important for Xie Chen, whether it is a fast break or a positional offense, Ingram can appear as an endpoint after Xie Chen attracts the pack.

After that, Xie Chen said to Ingram: "Now let's see how your breakthrough attack goes." ”

The ability to score under the basket, Ingram, who is a little thin and has insufficient physical confrontation, is not as good as this year's champion Ben Simmons, Simmons's scoring area is concentrated under the basket, which is also the difference between the two.

But if you want to grow into a superstar, you can't just float outside and shoot, Ingram must have the ability to break through and kill under the basket like Durant.

Shooting, Xie Chen can't defend against Ingram, but when he breaks through the offense, it will be difficult for Ingram to score in front of Xie Chen.

Ingram was broken again and again, and Ingram was about to collapse in confidence.

"You fouled this time!" Ingram began to complain after being cut off again.

Ingram gradually focused on protecting the ball, so that Xie Chen was no longer so easy to break his ball, but it was still not easy to score under the basket.

First of all, Ingram's speed is difficult to get rid of Xie Chen, Xie Chen has a powerful defensive speed, and if he wants to use his strength to break through, Xie Chen doesn't need to use anyone's ability, and he can completely resist Ingram's power.

Ten attacks, Ingram didn't score once.

Xie Chen couldn't help but continue to stimulate the other party: "If it is Ben Simmons, I think he will definitely not fail to fight once." So he's the champion, you're not, and it still makes sense. ”

Competitors can always stimulate themselves better, last season, Xie Chen has been using Carl Towns to stimulate Porzingis, and now, when it is Ingram's turn, it has become Ben Simmons who overwhelms him.

"Come again!" Ingram was really stimulated, and his fighting spirit was also high, Xie Chen was also very happy, he liked this kind of guy who became more and more courageous!

The duel between the two became more and more intense, and Ingram's physical strength was also consumed quickly, but the two of them became more and more excited, Ingram finally passed Xie Chen once, but when he wanted to dunk with both hands, he was chased by Xie Chen and blocked the dunk!

For more than ten minutes, Xie Chen did not let Ingram succeed once, three-point shot, Xie Chen can let Ingram throw, which will enhance his self-confidence and break through the score under the basket, Xie Chen is not ready to let Ingram score, which will let him know his shortcomings, and he needs a lot of growth in the future.

Ingram bent over and panted a little, Xie Chen patted Ingram on the back and said, "I'm testing you by playoff standards, it's certain that if our Lakers play the playoffs now, it is impossible for you to score under the basket with the highest defensive intensity, take a break, and it's time to look at your defense later." ”

Ingram has speed and long arms, and it is quite nerve-wracking for the opponent to defend, Xie Chen said: "First of all, let you feel what it's like to defend Stephen Curry." ”

Ingram smiled, and Stephen Curry is also a star that Ingram finds interesting, and he has been looking forward to playing against each other.

The Warriors are the Lakers' biggest rival in the West, and maybe Ingram will have a chance to defend Curry in the playoffs, so this trial will be very valuable.

Xie Chen imitated Curry's dribbling movements and rhythm, drifting outside the three-point line, and suddenly shook Ingram away with a change of direction, made a quick shot, and simply went into the net with a bang.

"Wow, it's so fast, so accurate!" Ingram didn't feel annoyed, but was very excited, completely incarnated as a fan watching the game.

Ingram hurriedly asked, "Boss, can you teach me how to practice three-point shooting like yours?" I want to learn too. ”

"This ......" Xie Chen was embarrassed, he didn't practice at all, if he wanted to ask for skills, he had to ask Curry, as a last resort, Xie Chen could only reply sternly: "You are my opponent now, why are you asking these things, defend quickly!" ”

Xie Chen showed several Curry-style offensive ways to get rid of people shooting, and then said: "If you play one-on-one with Curry on the outside, as long as he chooses to shoot at the three-point line, it's nothing more than these ways to get rid of you just now, you have to keep up with his rhythm, so that you can interfere with his shooting when he shoots." ”

Ingram was shocked, Xie Chen's demonstration just now was completely Curry's style, plus the two were about the same height and shooting posture, which made Ingram feel that Xie Chen was the real imitation emperor!

Ingram exclaimed, "Wow, you know Stephen Curry so well, you know all his moves. ”

Xie Chen smiled: "I played with him in the finals for two consecutive years, he is my biggest opponent in the league, if I can't even know such a person, then I will be too defeated." ”

Xie Chen often studies Curry's game, and Curry also knows Xie Chen so well, Xie Chen's usual movements, Curry is also very clear, what he doesn't know is only Xie Chen's hidden ability.

Ingram gradually forgot about his fatigue, training with Xie Chen was very interesting, the matchup just now seemed to be his opponent Stephen Curry, not Xie Chen, as a rookie in the NBA, the most exciting thing is to play against the best players in the league as soon as possible, and Ben Simmons, who is the champion, does not have such a good treatment.

Xie Chen continued: "After feeling Stephen Curry, how does it feel to try to play against Russell Westbrook again?" ”

Ingram was surprised again, could it be that Xie Chen also knew Wei Shao's way of playing?

Xie Chen has two abilities on Wei Shao, one is to break through the attack, and the other is a stop-and-go jump shot, he imitates Wei Shao, and it will only be more like.

"Come!" Ingram slapped his big hand and was ready to defend again.

Xie Chen used Wei Shao's breakthrough ability to burst out like lightning, directly past Ingram, and then completed the dunk, after that, Xie Chen turned to Ingram and said, "This is Westbrook's speed." ”

Ingram disagreed: "No, you are the 100-meter Olympic champion, your speed is invincible in the NBA, and your breakthrough speed just now is definitely faster than Westbrook!" ”

"......" Xie Chen was embarrassed now, he had obviously used Wei Shao's ability just now, how could he be faster than him?

Since Xie Chen won the first place in the Olympic 100 meters, everyone has regarded Xie Chen as the undisputed fastest person in the NBA, and it is normal for Ingram to have this illusion.

Xie Chen didn't bother to explain, he said that he was faster than Wei Shao, so he was faster than Wei Shao, and continued the second ball, Ingram had an understanding of Xie Chen's speed this time, and retreated in advance, not letting Xie Chen pass in one step, so Xie Chen suddenly made an emergency stop after breaking through two steps, and then pulled up the jump shot, Ingram did not interfere with it effectively, and Xie Chen hit accurately.

Xie Chen said: "It is conceivable that if you defend Westbrook alone, you will lose very badly. ”

Ingram was a little unconvinced, he was young, he was just 19 years old, his speed was not bad, and he was taller than guards like Xie Chen and Wei Shao, and he had long arms, so there was no reason to be bullied by them.

After a few defenses, Ingram did get better and better, and once successfully blocked Xie Chen's shot, Xie Chen was very pleased, Ingram does have a lot of potential and is worth cultivating, but with this guy's current strength, no matter how fast the progress is, if you want to really grow into a main force with the strength to help Xie Chen, it will take two years, and Xie Chen is going to win the championship this year, I don't know how much Ingram can improve this season......

Xie Chen worked hard to train Ingram, and when it came to the playoffs, how much Ingram could help Xie Chen was resigned to fate, Xie Chen didn't need too strong helpers, but it was by no means completely unhelpful.

Finally, Xie Chen asked Ingram, "Do you want to try LeBron James?" ”

"LeBron James?!" Ingram's face immediately changed, what does James represent in this league, Ingram knows very well that before Xie Chen and Curry made a name for themselves, the league was his, and to this day, you can't help but regard him as one of the strongest in the league.

Xie Chen has James's ability to make a layup, so as soon as he comes up, he brutally breaks through the layup, and the two have a physical confrontation in the air, even though Xie Chen has a disadvantage in height, he still successfully squeezes out Ingram and completes the layup score.

Ingram was shocked: "What power! I finally know why you dare to hit the basket again and again in the playoffs! ”

Ingram thinks that Xie Chen's physical confrontation is indeed excellent, but compared with the real LeBron James, it will definitely be a little worse, because James is bigger and stronger than Xie Chen, and if Ingram can't even resist Xie Chen, he will definitely die worse against James, he doesn't know that even if he meets James himself, he can at most achieve the level of confrontation just now.

Ingram sincerely admired Xie Chen: "Boss, you are really amazing, you can even do the signature ability of these stars, and it is no worse than them, the few duels with you just now make me really think that I am comparing with them, not you." ”

The two have been training together for a morning, and they have almost practiced, Xie Chen also has a certain understanding of this rookie teammate, so he said to Ingram: "Brandon, from today onwards, I want you to train your three-point shot, at the end of the regular season, I want your three-point shot to be much better than now, if you prefer to shoot three-pointers on the left wing, then practice that position specifically, and you must practice until the opponent feels that you are a threat when you appear there." ”

Brandon Ingram nodded, knowing that this season, he could also make a difference on the offensive side of the three-point shot.

Xie Chen continued: "In addition, I also want you to practice your ability to pass long passes. ”

"Long pass ability? Why? Ingram was a little puzzled, isn't this kind of big long pass unsafe if the goal is to win the championship?

Xie Chen said: "Because we Lakers want to reopen the SHOWTIME era!" (To be continued.) )
