Super all-around point guard

Chapter 647 Milan International Competition!
Xie Chen smiled and said to Nick Young: "Do you still remember that I imitated the action of Arenas celebrating in advance when shooting a three-pointer? At that time, I was also worried about what would happen if I really missed the shot, but when I thought that even if I failed to celebrate, I would not be the only one who was embarrassed, so I was relieved to shoot."

"This..." Being brought up with embarrassing things, Nick Yang felt embarrassed, thinking that this reason was too forced... But anyway, since Xie Chen is willing to play with him, then Nick Young can just perform well. JR Smith used to be a knives, but after following James, his performance was quite surprising. Nick Young might also have this opportunity.

After that, Xie Chen went to Larry Nance Jr. He is the son of Larry Nance, the dunk king in the first quarter, but he doesn't look like a black man at all, he looks a little delicate, but he inherited his father's amazing jumping, and his girlfriend Haileyprince is also very beautiful.

"I heard that you can dance very well, don't worry, you will have many opportunities to perform this season." Xie Chen patted Nance on the shoulder and said.

After all the players got together and chatted for a while, Lakers coach Luke Walton clapped his hands and brought everyone together, and everyone stood up and listened to the coach's speech.

Walton dressed very formally today and said with great energy: "All the Lakers players are here today. I am very excited to see you. This is the first time I have led the team as a coach. I am excited and excited. In the next season, I will accompany you to improve and win every game. Everyone knows that the Los Angeles Lakers are a great team. No player would want to play here. We have won many championships and produced many great players. However, the fact in front of us is that we have not entered the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. Now, this is the first time for our team, I want you to forget our results last season, because this season, everything will be different, we have the best player in the league, Chris Xie, he will lead us back to the playoffs!"

Xie Chen also took this opportunity to say to the whole team: "It's an honor to be a member of the Lakers. The task ahead of us this year is very difficult. Many people say that our best result is to barely enter the playoffs and then play in the first round. I don't think so. I think our team has enough strength to compete for the championship. The Golden State Warriors are our biggest opponents. I hope that everyone will start preparing for the playoffs from this moment, and I hope our Lakers can play the long-lost Showtime era game. We not only want to win , but also to win beautifully, this season, our Lakers are the most shining team!"

What Xie Chen said was passionate, but except for Ci Shiping, Roel Dunmozgoff, and Ingram who responded enthusiastically, the reactions of others were a little flat. Guys like Clarkson and Nick Young thought in their hearts: "This season is going to win the championship? Is he crazy about the championship? How can the Warriors win the championship with this lineup at the front?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Didn't you eat? Still don't believe that we can win the championship? Let me tell you, last season, I witnessed how the New York Knicks went from being the bottom team in the Eastern Conference to the championship. You have to believe that nothing is impossible in the NBA!" Metta Shiping saw that the "veteran" players of the Lakers had relatively flat reactions, and couldn't help but teach him a lesson.

Seeing this scene, Xie Chen was also a little disappointed. These teammates don't believe that the team is qualified to compete for the championship. Naturally, it is impossible to work hard for that empty championship from this moment. If they don't train hard, then with the current strength of the team, in the playoffs, they really won't have the strength to compete for the championship.
Seeing this, Luke Wharton said: "Okay, I know everyone is excited about the upcoming Milan International, and I can allow you to train seriously after Milan returns. But anyway, our goal this season is the championship!"

Afterwards, when everyone was training, Walton took the opportunity to chat with Xie Chen alone. Walton said: "Many of them don't believe that we are qualified to compete for the championship this season. I believe you must feel very frustrated. As a brand new team, we still face many difficulties this season, but don't worry, I will work with you to solve these."

Xie Chen nodded and said, "The only way for them to have confidence in the team is for us to work together to defeat a strong team in the league. I can't wait for the regular season to start soon!"

Before the regular season, the NBA still has a preseason game, and the preseason game is not long, because in the new season, the lineup of each team has been adjusted to a certain extent, so the main purpose of the preseason game is to let these teams run-in, plus all players have experienced
After a long vacation, I also need to play a few games to recover.

This year, the Lakers have undergone a big change. The signature character Kobe retired and was replaced by Xie Chen, and the center was replaced by Mozgov. With the addition of Luol Deng, Ingram, Jefferson and others, the Lakers really need preseason.

The first preseason game of the Lakers is the international game. In order to better promote the NBA and expand the influence of the NBA overseas, the NBA now holds international games in major cities around the world every year. The Lakers’ international games are arranged in Milan, the capital of fashion and design. Milan is the second largest city in Italy and the most influential city in the fashion industry. Show".

What would it be like to transform a fashion show into an NBA stadium?What kind of style would it be to replace those catwalk models with NBA players?
Xie Chen is the most popular athlete star in the world. This time he went overseas to promote the NBA. It must not be as simple as just playing. Adam Silver personally designed the plan and found the most famous local designer. Let Xie Chen and the Lakers participate in it. It is bound to let people deepen their impression of the NBA through a show.

As the capital of fashion, Milan is a place that stars from all over the world love to go, and it is also a holy place that women yearn for. Katie is going to fly to Milan with Xie Chen. Similarly, the wives of other Lakers players will also follow.

Xie Chen and Katie arrived in Milan three days before the game. Because Katie was not with her during the trip to Asia and Brazil, the two were on vacation together this time. Xie Chen also wanted to take this opportunity to make up for Katie. During these two days, the two went to many places together, shopping, playing, and enjoying... It was like a honeymoon trip.

On the day before the game, all the Lakers players turned into models, and the Milan show was transformed into an NBA stadium, with a basket full of cameras, a large screen hanging in the field, and cheerleaders with hot bodies. Those fashion editors sitting in the stands were stunned. What the hell is this?

Then, the popular American rapper PITBULL appeared on the stage and sang "MESSIN' AROUND". The atmosphere on the scene was immediately ignited. After that, this special show finally entered the theme, and the models appeared. However, these models were much taller than usual.

"Oh, the big white guy is supposed to be 7 feet?"

After Mozgov, Nick Yang appeared on the stage with a proud face. He enjoyed being a model and kept mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, but not many people seemed to know him.

The clothes this time basically showed black pop culture. Soon, Xie Chen also put on the clothes designed by the designer and appeared with a basketball in his hand. Since the Brazil Olympics, Xie Chen’s reputation is very famous even in Milan, so the scene immediately reached its climax.

After the show, it was Jiuchi Roulin's AFTERPARTY. Xie Chen turned into a DJ. Even the editors and buyers went to the court to shoot. The scene also reached the craziest moment. The logos of NBA teams can be seen everywhere in the venue. This is a good publicity.

The next day, the Los Angeles Lakers started their official international match against the local Olympia Milan team.

Although it is not an NBA team, Xie Chen also wants to take this opportunity to train his team as if they were opponents in the NBA, especially to make the teammates more tacit.

The game started soon, and the local fans in Milan were also very enthusiastic. Moreover, many stars from Europe, America and Asia came to the first row. Since Xie Chen surprised the world in the Olympic Games, everyone was looking forward to watching his basketball game.

"Come on, let's see your lightning speed again!" Some audience members couldn't help but get excited.

Although it was a preseason game, most people would not show off their stunts, but in order to train his teammates' long pass ability and cooperation with him, Xie Chen decided to use Bolt's speed in this game!

"As long as there is an opportunity later, pass directly to the other half. Let's dedicate a wonderful game to the audience here! Come on!" Xie Chen said to everyone.

"Come on!" All the players followed suit.

The Lakers start, Xie Chen, Ingram, Luol Deng, Randall, Mozgov.The people at Olympia, Xie Chen and the others didn't know any of them, so they started fighting after greeting each other.

After 2 minutes of playing, the Olympia team was blocked for a layup and Randall grabbed the rebound. At this time, Xie Chen suddenly accelerated and ran directly to the other half!
"Wow! Xie's speed is so fast!" There was a commotion at the scene, and Xie Chen's sudden acceleration caught them off guard. They thought Xie Chen would not take this game seriously, but they didn't expect Xie Chen to use an astonishing speed that he had never appeared in the NBA!

"This ticket is worth buying! Even American fans have never seen Xie's speed!"

Everyone watched Xie Chen jump out like lightning and get rid of the defender in an instant. Randall also saw Xie Chen's running, but he hesitated a little before passing the ball. In the end, the pass was interfered by the Olympia team, and the cooperation this time did not work out.

"Hey, it's such a pity that a wonderful long pass and dunk was wasted like this. Xie's teammates are so weak, they can't pass the ball at all."

"Yes, they should poach Kevin Love or Dwyane Wade, they are the masters of the long pass."

Everyone was a little frustrated when they failed to cooperate for the first time, but fortunately, this is a preseason game. If it is still like this in the regular season, it will be a joke.But the regular season is not much time away from now.

The youthfulness of this team and the low degree of tacit understanding among teammates are reflected in all aspects.

Xie Chen grabbed a rebound. After grabbing the rebound, Xie Chen turned around and instantly started Westbrook's breakthrough speed, ready to rush to the opponent's basket immediately, but just turned around and took the first step, and the whole person directly hit his teammate Ingram.

"Ahhh." Both of them whispered softly.

Many viewers laughed: "Why doesn't that rookie know how to give way to the team boss? This is so interesting."

Xie Chen threw the ball to Luol Deng and asked others to go on the fast break, while he left Ingram in the backcourt and said to him: "Once I get a rebound in the backcourt, no matter how deep I am, no matter whether I want to pass the ball or what, I must leave my path as soon as possible."

Ingram was just behind Xie Chen just now. After Xie Chen got the rebound, Ingram stood there motionless as if distracted. This completely prevented Xie Chen from launching a fast break at the first time. You must know that the first step of Xie Chen's breakthrough is very important.

"Hey, why is it 3 vs 5 in the half? The two of them are still in the backcourt! Don't they take the game seriously?"

"Yeah, teach me a lesson at home, what's the point of doing this on the field? We also paid for tickets to come in!"

Xie Chen wanted to tell Ingram right away. After that, Xie Chen started to walk up the court. There was not much time left in the attack. Xie Chen reached out for the ball. Luol Deng passed the ball to Xie Chen who had just passed halftime. Xie Chen took two steps and directly shot a three-pointer from a long distance.

"Throw it away?"

Xie Chen's seemingly random style of play made some viewers who paid high prices for tickets very uncomfortable, but such a super long three-pointer turned out to be a precise net!

"Hahaha, the goal is scored! This is the strength of the strongest shooter!"

"Thank God, I finally saw the super long-distance three-pointer with my own eyes!"

Xie Chen's first goal aroused countless applause from the audience. Everyone felt that this was a preseason game, and the main players like Xie Chen would not play much time, so we should cherish and appreciate Xie Chen's game on the court. However, this game, Xie Chen decided to play four quarters!
