After Xie Chen joined the Lakers, all opponents in other leagues knew that the key to defeating the Lakers was to limit Xie Chen. Xie Chen scored 8 points in a row at the beginning of the third quarter, putting a lot of pressure on the Rockets, and D'Antoni didn't have a good way to deal with it, in his opinion, the key is to solve his team's offense first.

Harden feels very good today, so the responsibility of preventing the opponent from chasing points, Harden, as the only superstar of the team, is naturally indispensable, Harden has a very skillful dribble and more and more mature offensive skills, last season his average points per game was also a career high, averaging 29 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, can play this kind of super data, few people in the league can do it, but such a dazzling data, James Harden was not selected for the best team, because the best team is Curry, Xie Chen, Leonard, James and Jordan Jr., Harden also became the first player in NBA history to average at least 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game but was not selected to the All-NBA team.

The Los Angeles Lakers, a brand-new team, is actually very good defensively, Xie Chen was the best defensive player last season, Mozgov and Rohr Deng are both guys who can also show super defense in the playoffs, Randle is also good in defense, although Ingram has not proven himself, but he is tall and long-armed, young and driven, and he is not bad.

James Harden faced Ingram's defense, first the ball in his left hand suddenly accelerated and rushed inside, everyone knows how terrible Harden's ability to make fouls is, so Ingram retreated quickly, afraid that he would attack the basket, but in the face of the NBA rookie who didn't finish a game, Harden didn't go to Bo foul, and suddenly stopped after the breakthrough, making Ingram a little confused, Harden turned sideways slightly, and seemed to want to pass the ball, once he found that there was no threat in front of him, Harden immediately got up and jumped, It's too late for Ingram to block again.

This time, completely in Harden's rhythm, Ingram didn't play a role even though he had the advantage of height and arm length.

Harden's scoring continues to give the Rockets a 4-point lead, but Xie Chen, who has already started chasing points, where will he stop there?

After a lightning break, he casually used James' ability to hit the opponent and won two free throws.

This attack still took less than 5 seconds.

D'Antoni claims to solve the attack in 7 seconds, and now it seems that this is more suitable for Xie Chen.

Seeing Xie Chen easily walk to the free throw line, James Harden was faintly worried, Xie Chen only scored 15 points in the entire first half, and now only a few minutes in the third quarter, Xie Chen has already scored 10 points, it is clear that he has now entered the confrontation between the superstars of the two teams, Xie Chen and Harden's score battle, but when it comes to soaring points, Harden is not afraid of others, compared with Xie Chen, his heart is really a little bottomless, after all, Harden can score 40 points is very high, Xie Chen can score 80 points in one game! This is not a scorer at all!

However, although Harden does not have Howard, he also has a new strong helper, that is, Ryan Anderson, who is second only to Harden in scoring, and has now scored nearly 20 points. After Xie Chen hit both free throws, this guy hit another shot.

Yang Jian said: "Now the game is starting to look good, it's a bit-for-tat, the Rockets and the Lakers are not strictly considered top teams this season, but the matchup between the two teams is very exciting." ”

Xie Chen has now completely entered the time of his personal performance, that is, relying on his strong and diverse personal abilities to score, and it is a crazy and continuous score, he wants to directly knock over the opponent in one go, at this time, no one wants to stop him!

James Harden and Xie Chen have fought many times, and the relationship between the two is also good in private, often going to nightclubs to chat about sister paper or something, so Harden knows Xie Chen very well, as soon as he saw Xie Chen's focused and serious expression when he held the ball, Harden knew that it was over, Xie Chen was still determined to win this ball.

As soon as Xie Chen broke through the opponent's defense line and was about to enter it, Harden suddenly jumped out from the other side, holding his arms to block Xie Chen's body, when the two made physical contact, Harden found that Xie Chen rushed very fiercely, and in order to stop him, he also pushed forward hard, this level of blocking confrontation, Xie Chen knew that generally speaking, the referee was about to blow a foul, so Xie Chen gave up moving forward to the basket, and with the help of Harden's push for himself, while his body was retreating, he used Michael Jordan's backward jump shooting ability, All the movements seemed very natural, and Xie Chen's body was not unbalanced, he hit this backward shot steadily, and also blew James Harden for a foul.

Harden was depressed: "How can this guy's body balance be controlled so well?" I pushed it a little, and I was able to keep such a stable position in the air and shoot the basketball. ”

Harden pushed Xie Chen, but instead assisted Xie Chen, making Xie Chen lean back more comfortably.

"It's in again! Oh my God, Xie Chen completely took over the game in the third quarter, and now he has scored 30 points, and I think the Rockets' defense against him will be strengthened next! Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi's guess was right, Xie Chen's successive scores were very able to attract firepower, and when Xie Chen held the ball again, he encountered two people defending him.

Even a regular season game can't keep you scoring, right?

"The bag is clamped! Xie Chen is about to pass the ball, I don't know if the other players of the Lakers can ......" The commentator was saying, thinking that Xie Chen would pass the ball to his teammates after encountering the bag defense, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to face two people and jump back!

Kobe Bryant was shocked when he saw this scene, this scene is familiar, in the face of the two defenders' step-back jumper, isn't this Kobe himself?

Team Rocket is also very strange, Xie Chen actually chose one to two! They all thought that Xie Chen would choose to pass the ball.

This season, Xie Chen's goal is the Warriors, and with Kerr's understanding of himself, he will definitely use the strongest defense to deal with Xie Chen, and Xie Chen must train his scoring ability under the high-intensity defense of more people.

All the offseason, Xie Chen has been practicing this, and finally has such an opportunity to hone in the official game of the NBA, how could Xie Chen choose to pass the ball and give up this trial opportunity!

Swish!

I saw that Xie Chen faced the forcible shot of the two, and he still hit accurately!

"I'll go, Kobe Bryant possessed! Shooting back in front of the two, Xie Chen is a true legend of my science! ”

"I don't understand Xie Chen a little, didn't he intend to help rookie Ingram today? In the first half, he helped Ingram score, and Ingram was empty just now, and he actually chose to play one-on-two? ”

"It can only be said that Xie Chen's scoring addiction has come up, and no one can stop it!"

Even James Harden couldn't help but ask Xie Chen, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Xie Chen replied with a smile: "I want to win you." ”

Harden also laughed helplessly, Xie Chen didn't play the regular season so seriously last season, and even if it was the playoffs, he first passed the ball out when he encountered the bag, and today's performance, seeing the bag, Xie Chen actually looked very excited, and chose to play strongly without hesitation, is it because Kobe Bryant was present and paid tribute to Kobe......

After this one-on-two fight, Xie Chen didn't stop, and his personal attack became even crazier!

"Another one-on-two, another Jordan-esque signature step-back jumper! Is Xie Chen's scoring ability so strong now? Neither of them can prevent him? Yang Jian exclaimed after seeing Xie Chen's unreasonable score again.

Yang Yi also said: "Xie Chen's ability last season was far from his maximum limit, this season must still be improved, you see that he faced the defense of two people, very calm and calm, neither lost the ball nor was killed by two people, and he got rid of the pace when facing the defense of two people is very beautiful, two people can never interfere and stop Xie Chen at the same time, in fact, Xie Chen's two shots are still only interfered by one of the players." ”

Yang Jian also said: "That's right, Xie Chen is very clear about the position of the two people, and can even predict how they will guard against him next, plus Xie Chen's speed is too fast, if the two of them are a little negligent, they will not be able to keep up." ”

Seeing Xie Chen playing one after another, and the score has surpassed Harden, Harden can't hold back, and when he reaches the three-point line, he will shoot directly with three points, Harden's three-point shot is not fast, but it is not easy to defend, you don't dare to jump in front of him easily, after all, he is also a master of feints.

"Harden hit a three-pointer!"

Looking back, Xie Chen quickly returned a three-point shot to Harden by blocking and dismantling, and quickly returned a three-point shot to Harden.

Yang Yi was shocked: "It's in again!" Xie Chen has already scored 21 points in this quarter alone! ”

The Lakers' scores in the third quarter basically came from Xie Chen, and everyone also enjoyed Xie Chen's gorgeous performance.

The Lakers have a lot of die-hard fans for many years, and after watching the first game of the new season, they probably know what kind of team the Lakers are this season, that is, relying on superstars to dominate the game.

It wasn't just the opponents who were shocked, but also the teammates and coaches.

Head coach Wharton said secretly in his heart: "Xie's scoring ability is really unparalleled, in just a few minutes, from falling behind to leading the score, after that, the task of chasing points will be handed over to him with peace of mind, I am so lucky, there are such good players under him in the first year of coaching, his physical condition must be maintained very well, the team cannot do without him ......"

This is Xie Chen's first game as a Lakers player at the Staples Center, this is a great team, this is a great arena, the Lakers have too many glorious histories, there have been too many historical superstars, this invisible pressure forced Xie Chen to show his best condition, what made Xie Chen so crazy was not the opponent James Harden, but the great players of the Lakers in the past, such as Magic Johnson, such as O'Neal, Kobe, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar...... Xie Chen compares them to them! He's going to do something that these guys can't do!

James Harden doesn't want to be the background emperor in the first game of the new season, at this time of the game, he has to show the appearance of a superstar to confront Xie Chen, but Harden is resolute in attacking this time, and Xie Chen can also see it, Harden was just about to have a shooting opportunity, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to suddenly appear in front of him, and the Lakers actually wrapped up Harden! Is this a ploy by the Lakers?

Harden obviously thinks that this is not the case, but feels that this is a gamble by Xie Chen! Xie Chen, with his understanding of Harden, knew that Harden would shoot as soon as the opportunity appeared this time, if Xie Chen didn't come over, Harden would really pull up and shoot, he had already gained space to shoot, and the success rate of this kind of shooting was still very high.

However, it was useless for Xie Chen to come over, Harden knew how to judge the situation very well, and when he saw Xie Chen coming, he immediately realized that his teammate in the bottom corner on the right side was empty, and quickly transferred the ball over!

And when Harden raised his arm, Xie Chen knew that Harden was going to pass the ball, even after Harden made a move to transfer the ball, Xie Chen still had a chance to block the pass!

Xie Chen, who was about to pounce on Harden, suddenly changed direction, and rushed to the Rockets player in the bottom corner with a puff of a U-turn.

As soon as the other party saw that Xie Chen was about to grab it, he jumped up to catch the ball, but as soon as the ball was about to be taken by him, Xie Chen, who rushed over like lightning, flicked the ball up, and the two jumped up again to grab the ball, which was a matter of no suspense.

Xie Chen got the ball, and when he didn't rush up in the backcourt, he was followed by two Rocket players, including Harden, Xie Chen was suppressed for the first time and couldn't get up, and the Rocket players quickly used this opportunity to return to defense, and when Xie Chen dribbled past half court, the Rockets already had two players standing in a good position inside.

And since Xie Chen missed the opportunity to attack at the first time, he didn't hurry, slowly reached the three-point line, and directly used Maddy's three points to pull out his hand in front of the defenders, and hit the three points again!

"Oh my God! So confident! If Xie Chen can keep playing like this and scoring like this, he doesn't need little Wharton to do anything at all! Yang Yi was also stunned, he could obviously see that Xie Chen, who did not have a superstar by his side, was now playing more casually and unscrupulously.

In Yang Yi's view, this kind of ball of personal heroism is indeed beautiful and burning, but it also hides danger.

However, Xie Chen did this not because he didn't want to believe his teammates, but purely because he wanted to get the advantage of the score quickly and win this game.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chen scored two more deductions, and he had already scored 30 points in a single quarter! The Lakers also went from trailing by 10 points to leading by 14 points!

"In the first game of the new season, we staged a crazy individual performance of 30 points in a single quarter! What will Xie Chen do this season? No one could have predicted it! ”

"I think he has booked the scoring champion this season, no one can compete with him for this honor, even if Xie Chen only plays two quarters per game, I don't doubt that someone will average more points per game than him, and what is even more terrifying is that assists and steals are still the top in the league!"
