People tend to think back to the beginning when Michael Jordan deeply influenced Kobe Bryant and made Kobe Bryant where he is today, so if this is his last shot at the All-Star, he wants to use the same way Jordan did.

Jordan's classic goal against Marion, Xie Chen did it once when he was an All-Star in New York last year, and I believe that Kobe Bryant will also cause a lot of repercussions.

Kobe Bryant held the ball on the right side with his back against Wade, and suddenly turned around to break through, Wade saw Kobe's action and realized what Kobe was going to do next, sure enough, Kobe Bryant immediately stepped back after breaking through a few steps, Wade tried his best to jump and block, forcing Kobe to adjust the arc higher, the moment he shot, there were two seconds left in time, and then, the ball floated to the basket, just on the edge of the basket!

All Kobe fans chuckled in their hearts, is this Kobe's last All-Star shot?

However, the basketball bounced up strangely high, and then, when it fell again, it was exactly in the center of the basket!

With a bang, the ball went in, the first overtime was over, the two sides were tied, and Kobe Bryant completed a life-saving whistle ball!

Jordan, who was sitting on the court, also smiled when he saw it, what a familiar picture, I didn't expect that after Xie Chen did this, Kobe Bryant did it again.

Wade obviously judged Kobe's next move in advance, so the defense was very good, but some balls knew what Kobe would do, you just couldn't prevent it, after Kobe shot, Wade smiled and said: "After you retire, I finally don't have to taste this taste anymore." ”

Kobe smiled: "Your former teammates will make you more helpless than I am." ”

Although this All-Star Game has been going on for a long time, the more you get to the end, the more you don't want to leave, just like when people watch a concert, they always hope that their favorite singer will come back and sing a few more songs, and the more people get to the end, the more excited they will be.

Xie Chen didn't want this All-Star Game to end too early, so his next way of playing was it. As long as the west scores, then he will return it immediately, and if the west does not score, Xie Chen will also temporarily give up the attack, try to keep the scores of the two sides about the same, and try to have another chance to overtime as much as possible.

Xie Chen's approach. Kobe Bryant also saw it in the end.

"I didn't expect Xie to be trying to maintain the score, he must have wanted the game to continue into overtime, he knew that I was reluctant to give up this stage, and wanted me to play for a while, this guy ......" The tired Kobe Bryant looked at Xie Chen, who was full of energy, and was very grateful to Xie Chen.

Now it's the final minute of the game, and it's the Western Stars who are two points behind.

Yu Jia said curiously: "Eh, it's really strange to say, three times in a row." In the last moments of the game, the Western Stars were two points behind, needless to say, this last attack still had to be handed over to Kobe, Kobe Bryant's fans were definitely addicted to it today, because Kobe Bryant has scored two consecutive whistle goals, if he scores again this time, it will be three times, and it will be the next overtime. Maybe Kobe Bryant will have such an opportunity. ”

Zhang Weiping also exclaimed: "It is indeed amazing, the overall strength of the east and west can be said to be comparable. Although Kobe Bryant's competitive state is not as good as before, he has the best teammates in the league, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant can help Kobe score, Kobe can pass the ball to his teammates with confidence, so he can repeatedly draw with the East Army. With Bryant's ability to make key shots and his form today, I guess there will be a third overtime. ”

Bryant only needed to hit one more two-point shot like he did the last two times. The game can be sent into the third overtime, the first two, one is a layup and the other is a step-back jumper, and people are looking forward to what kind of way Kobe Bryant will use this time.

Under the watchful eyes of the whole court, Bryant held the ball through half the court. He didn't rush to score, but consumed time, and suddenly, Kobe Bryant hooked his finger at Xie Chen.

"Oh? Kobe Bryant wants Xie Chen to defend him? Yu Jia was surprised.

After the audience saw it, they also began to coax, Xie Chen stepped forward a little shyly, he actually didn't know why Kobe Bryant had to pick Xie Chen to prevent him.

Kobe smiled and said to Xie Chen, "Thank you." ”

Xie Chen understood that Kobe Bryant had seen that he was deliberately maintaining the score, so he just nodded.

"It's the last ball." Kobe Bryant felt a lot more relaxed, and he was not ready to shoot the most crucial shot at all.

Xie Chen knows Kobe Bryant too well, in other words, at any time in the past, Kobe must be extremely serious and serious in the face of such a critical moment, but now Kobe Bryant doesn't seem to care about the outcome at all.

Xie Chen didn't understand the meaning of what Kobe Bryant said about the last ball, Kobe quickly held the ball and attacked, Xie Chen also hurriedly entered the defensive state, clinging to Kobe, he thought that Kobe Bryant's last ball would still use his best backward jumper.

I didn't expect ......

In the end, when there were three seconds left, Kobe Bryant, who had just broken through, suddenly took a step back and retreated outside the three-point line!

"What?" Xie Chen was taken aback, Kobe Bryant chose to shoot a three-point shot! His three-point shooting rate this season is not good at all, and he didn't hit any three-pointers today! Why would he take such a risk?

With Kobe Bryant's height, if Xie Chen singles up to score two points, there is still a lot of hope to shoot, but Kobe Bryant chose to shoot Curry and Xie Chen's good three-point shot, it turns out that Kobe has given up this All-Star Game, if he can shoot, it must be God's affection, he will get the last All-Star MVP, if he can't shoot, then the Western Stars will lose to the East, and the game is over.

Xie Chen still stretched out his hand, Kobe Bryant shot extremely fast this time, as if he was imitating Xie Chen's Curry shot, the basketball slid to the basket, hit the rebound, bounced off the basket, and bounced out.

No one under the basket jumped to grab the rebound, the ball fell into James's hands, James's eyes were glazed, and then, the final buzzer sounded.

Kobe Bryant, who threw the last All-Star shot, smiled.

"Kobe Bryant......" Xie Chen faced Kobe Bryant, not knowing what to say.

Kobe Bryant smiled and took the initiative to hug Xie Chen: "Thank you, brother, my All-Star career is over, thank you for trying to make it longer, but some things will end after all, I am leaving this stage." After that, it's up to you. ”

Kobe patted Xie Chen twice, and then hugged Wade, James and others one by one, and the applause at the scene lasted for a long time, and everyone relaxed.

After that, NBA commissioner Adam Shaw came to power. First of all, he thanked Kobe, the fans and the owners here, and finally, he personally presented the All-Star MVP trophy to Xie Chen.

This is Xie Chen's second All-Star MVP trophy, when he won the first one, Xie Chen was only excited and happy, but this time it was a little heavier, fortunately, this is not the end, Kobe Bryant still has to finish the regular season. And will fight with the Knicks again, even if this season is over, after Kobe Bryant retires, everyone will not have the opportunity to play against Kobe Bryant again, Xie Chen is okay, in the Legend Challenge, Xie Chen will always have the opportunity to challenge Kobe.

All-Star Weekend is finally over, and the players still have four or five days off to rest. In five days, the New York Knicks will travel to the Nets in the same city. After the All-Star break, it is the beginning of the real regular season, and all teams that have a chance to win a playoff spot will give it their all, and the Knicks are still in tenth place in the East, although Xie Chen and Anthony are here, everyone is confident that they will get a playoff spot. But if you don't enter the top eight for a day, you won't be able to reassure the fans for a day.

Every Knicks player has a lot of pressure, let alone a team leader like Xie Chen.

That night, Xie Chen and Scarlett met alone, and Scarlett was also leaving Toronto tomorrow. The two didn't have much time to get together again, but Xie Chen knew that Xie Chen would see Scarlett again soon, and she would never disappear in her life.

……

Two days later, the New York Knicks had returned to their positions to train together, and after a few days, everyone chatted about what had happened in the last few days, especially talking about Xie Chen's performance in the All-Star, and the slam dunk contest simply shocked their teammates.

Odom, Ci Shiping and Ray Allen praised Xie Chen's domineering dunk ability, and they have always wanted to figure out what Xie Chen's ability is not used, and now from now on, I admire Xie Chen more and more, and I am more confident in winning the championship this year.

However, after laughing and talking with their teammates for a while, Xie Chen and Anthony suddenly became serious.

Xie Chen said to everyone: "Guys, after All-Star Weekend, the regular season always seems to be extraordinarily short, and I already felt that last season. Our goal is to win the championship, and this year is, but the playoffs are just around the corner and we're not in the playoffs yet, which has something to do with my impulsive behavior at the time, and I've always blamed myself for that, but I'm also absolutely confident that I can lead you to a playoff ticket, there's no doubt about it. ”

"It's just that we only have 27 games until the end of the regular season, and there are a lot of strong teams and a lot of away games, and we may not be able to get the same ranking as the Cavaliers and Warriors in the end, which means that we may face a strong team that is better than us in the first round of the playoffs."

"As you may know, when I was in the Heat last year, a month before the end of the regular season, everyone in our Heat team increased their training efforts, and it turned out that we achieved very good results in the playoffs, if it wasn't for that month of hard training, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to beat the Cavaliers, and I want you to say this today, I also hope that everyone will sprint and work hard for the goal of the championship!"

Anthony also spoke: "Xie is right, this is the opportunity that we have been waiting for many years for the New York Knicks, and it is also the opportunity that I have waited for many years, from today onwards, Xie and I will make training plans for everyone, don't feel hard, all efforts will be rewarded in the playoffs!" ”

At this time, the Knicks began to work hard for the playoff matchup, and this kind of sprint will definitely have an effect, Xie Chen has proved this last year, and for different people, Xie Chen has different training methods.

For example, Ci Shiping, Xie Chen has always hoped that Ci Shiping can have the ability to shoot three-point in addition to iron-blooded defense, and Ci Shiping's three-point shooting rate is getting closer and closer to the peak level, but even so, the opponent still doesn't guard Ci Shiping's three-point shot, especially when there is a defender in front of Ci Shiping, he doesn't think that Ci Shiping will shoot three points at all.

Xie Chen's next step was to let Ci Shiping practice this kind of defense with someone in front of him, and shoot three points with slight interference.

Ci Shiping was the person Xie Chen was responsible for, and Xie Chen said to Ci Shiping: "If I let you shoot the same three-pointers every day as Ray Allen, will you blame me?" ”

Ci Shiping said: "I know at first glance that I am not a lazy guy, but you can ask me to shoot the same three-pointers as Ray Allen every day, but it is too difficult to shoot the same shots." ”

Xie Chen said with a smile: "As long as Lei Allen appears on the court, the opponent will definitely be wary of his three-point shot, so even if his three-point shooting rate is very high, he may not be able to fully play it on the court, but you are different, you often hold the ball in the high position to make strategies, and the defender's eyes will always pay attention to other people when defending you, no one will think that you will directly pull up at the three-point line and shoot, your body is very strong, in the moment of squeezing away the opponent, if you shoot three points, I believe it will be very effective, although in this team, Maybe it's better than you for three points whether it's a guard or a center, but trust me, you're probably going to be the one who can save the team the most with threes. ”

Xie Chen's words made Ci Shiping realize his importance in the team, and he did have more fighting spirit, and the three-point training was extremely hard, and in just two months, he wanted to improve his three-point shot to the point where he could help the team. When the time comes, even in the face of James, Ci Shiping can be an opponent.

In addition to Ci Shiping, there is another person who will make a big difference in the playoffs, and that is Derrick Williams.

Derrick Williams, the former star of the list, also played the best performance of his career this season, averaging 12 points per game, tied with the Timberwolves, and rebounds, assists, especially blocks, have improved a lot.

Like such a strong and energetic talent player, it is extremely suitable to match Xie Chen, Xie Chen can attract defenders, as long as Derrick Williams appears at the right time, Xie Chen hands the ball to him, Williams will definitely put on a wonderful show, the two have many ways to cooperate, but in the past time, the two have not had a good tacit understanding, and next, Xie Chen and Williams must grind together.

There are 27 games left in the regular season, and there is not much time left for Xie Chen. (To be continued.) )
