Super all-around point guard

Chapter 65 Hassan Whiteside!
In the press conference after the game, Xie Chen participated with Luol Deng, who also performed well. Luol Deng obviously had to learn more from Xie Chen in terms of clothing. Although Xie Chen and Xie Chen were both newcomers to the Heat, for this kind of occasion, Xie Chen had more experience than Luol Deng.

Xie Chen has already learned how to answer the reporters' questions, and has begun to learn to ease the atmosphere and make some jokes during serious questions and answers.

The questions from the reporters were expected by Xie Chen early on. For example, why did he often cooperate with his teammates in lobs during the game?For example, the current team has won [-] consecutive victories, what goals it has for the future, and so on.

Of course, journalists still don't give up asking this question that has been asked no less than a hundred times.

"Chris Xie, maybe you are already tired of this question, but I still want to ask again. You once said that you will answer Stephen Curry's three-point contest within half a month. Have you made a decision now?" A black reporter asked seriously.

The reporter thought that Xie Chen would be very upset after asking the question, but in fact Xie Chen had been waiting for this question throughout the press conference. Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xie Chen still held his breath and pretended to think. He lifted up the trendy frame glasses, and then said solemnly: "Members of the media, I now officially announce that I accept Stephen Curry's invitation. I will sign up for the All-Star Three-Point Contest this year!"

The selection of personnel for the All-Star Three-Point Contest, on the one hand, invites the defending champion and the top three-point shooting percentages this season. Players can refuse.Whether it is invitation or registration, Xie Chen is basically certain to participate in this year's three-point contest.

As soon as Xie Chen's words came out, it immediately spread throughout the league. After hearing this, James Harden also expressed his willingness to make a three-pointer with Curry and Xie Chenbiao. Korver couldn't wait to beat these people in the three-point contest.

There is still some time before the All-Star Game, but if this year is really a combination of Xie Chen, Curry, Harden, and Korver, it will definitely be a wonderful event that has been rarely seen in the past few years. LeBron James even tweeted that he would also like to sign up for the competition, and compete with these people.

Wade never expected that after his truce, the team could still maintain a winning streak. In order to thank his teammates, he invited the whole team to his villa to share a dinner. Not only the players, but also team coach Spoelstra and president Pat Riley.

Pat Riley, who always combs her hair back and is always spotless, is eating a steak baked with ham and mushrooms in puff pastry, while clinking a glass of wine with Sibo and enjoying a drink.

After LeBron James left, it caused headaches for the two Heat helms, but now, who would have thought that the Heat are still undefeated in the regular season?Currently ranked first in the league!But both of them are very clear that even if the current record is very good, if they want to use this lineup to compete for the championship, there is still a lot of difference, and the championship puzzle is not complete.

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

As soon as Xie Chen came, Pat Riley smiled and said: "Thank you, your performance has been getting better and better recently, and you have played a vital role in the few games that Dwyane was absent. You can release it to your heart's content tonight."

Xie Chen shook his wine glass and smiled: "I don't need to release, Mr. Riley. In fact, I don't feel too much pressure, and I don't feel hard. But it's impossible to say that it's not hard at all. Every time I chase points with my teammates, I face a problem, rebounding. We are far behind our opponents in this area. Now McRoberts is injured again, so can I make a suggestion to Mr. President? Sign some good insiders, we need it too much."

Coach Spoelstra interjected: "Thanks, Pat Riley and I were actually talking about this too."

Riley smiled: "Yes, I already have a suitable candidate, and you will welcome your new teammate soon."

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, good insiders are hard to find.

However, Pat Riley did not break his promise. After two more victories, on November 11, the Heat officially announced the signing of the Development League center, Hassan Whiteside.

Hassan Whiteside, with a height of 213cm, a weight of 107kg, and a wingspan of 236.5cm, was selected by the Kings at No. 2010 in the second round of 33. He played for the Kings for two seasons and played a total of 19 regular season games, averaging 1.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

In the 2012-13 season, Hassan played for a team affiliated with the Houston Rockets. After that, he actually played for China's NBL, which is the National Men's Basketball League, which was previously considered the second-tier league of the CBA...

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

After hearing the team's "big news", Xie Chen couldn't wait to search the Internet for information about his new teammate, but was disappointed after reading it. He thought Riley had signed such a powerful center forward. With Hassan's strength, he was barely a blue-collar player, right?

Since Hassan did not have brilliant data in the past, there are many people who hold the same opinion as Xie Chen, including Wade and Bosh.

……

Miami, Heat practice facility.

Coach Spoel gathered the whole team together, and brought in a tall man over two meters long. Although Xie Chen had never seen this man before, he immediately recognized the team's newly signed center, Hassan Whiteside!
Coach Spoel introduced to everyone: "This is our team's newly signed center Hassan Whiteside. I believe his arrival will allow us to continue our winning streak."

"Welcome, Hassan." As the boss of the team, Wade was the first to shake hands with the opponent.

Next came Bosh. Bosh was very proud in front of Hassan. In order to let him know that he is the current leader of the team, he told Hassan very seriously: "Now the team is winning streak, you have to train hard and get into our rhythm and state as soon as possible, understand? I will teach you how to do it under the basket."

It could be seen that Hassan was a little bit dissatisfied with Bosh, but there was nothing he could do. For a player like him, it was very rare for an NBA team to sign him, and he didn't dare to argue with the team leader. The other Heat players were also very cold towards him, and he was soon left alone.

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

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

Xie Chen nodded. Like Hassan, he was ignored and underestimated by others at the beginning. With the basketball replication system, he flourished. Unfortunately, Hassan is not such a lucky one, but where there is a will, there is a way. Hassan may not be able to become a top insider like Howard Yao Ming in the future, but becoming a team's backup center will make a difference if he works hard.

Xie Chen took Hassan to know about various places in the arena, and also told some interesting stories about some team players. At the same time, he also warned the opponent that even if he offended Wade, he could not offend Bosh, because Bosh's possessive desire for power and status is terrible.Hassan kept this in mind, and was very grateful to Xie Chen, and regarded Xie Chen as a good friend in his heart.

After returning, Xie Chen wanted to practice Rose's layup skills, because now Rose's layup skill fusion has increased to 89%, and it won't take long for this skill to be fully integrated, so Xie Chen wants to make the final sprint.

He called his friend Chalmers who had already established a friendship. In order to promote the integration of Hassan and his teammates, he also invited Hassan: "Would you like to train with me? I will make a layup and you will 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 and said, "Okay."

Xie Chen broke through Chalmers with the ball. Chalmers interfered in various ways.

Chalmers behind him smiled and said: "This guy's air-gap is getting worse and worse. In the past few games, the opponent's insiders who used this trick have no temper. How could Hassan be able to defend against it. Sigh, although the team has won consecutive victories, if we find an insider with this level of ability, it will be difficult for the Heat to win the championship!"

Just when Chalmers was worried about the team, his eyes suddenly lit up!
I saw that after Xie Chen performed a big pull in the air, he obviously avoided Hassan's block before, but in the end, he was still slapped on the backboard by Hassan!
"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 by the side, couldn't help being surprised after seeing this scene.

After being covered, Xie Chen was stunned. How could Hassan cover himself?I'm already infinitely close to integrating Ross's ability, that is to say, Hassan didn't cover him up, even if it was Ross, he was able to cover him, this kid can do it!
Although covered, Xie Chen is very happy, why happy?Because Hassan is not an opponent, but a teammate!
The Heat have a future!

(The collection is bleak, please collect it!)
