Super all-around point guard

Chapter 652 A 30-point performance in a quarter!

After Xie Chen joined the Lakers, all opponents in other leagues knew that the key to defeating the Lakers was to restrain Xie Chen. As long as Xie Chen was restrained, the Lakers team would be a slam dunk for a strong team.Xie Chen scored 8 points in a row at the beginning of the third quarter, which put a lot of pressure on the Rockets. D'Antoni didn't have a good solution to this. In his opinion, the key must be to solve his team's offense first.

Harden's hand feeling is very good today, so it is the responsibility to prevent the opponent from chasing points. As the only superstar of the team, Harden is naturally doing his part. Harden has very skilled dribbling and increasingly mature offensive skills. Last season, his scoring average was also a new high in his career. He averaged 29 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. Few people in the league can achieve such super data. However, James Harden was not selected for the best team. , because the best team is Curry, Xie Chen, Leonard, James and Jordan, Harden has also become the first player in NBA history to average at least 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game but was not selected for the best team. Speaking of it, Harden is also very unlucky.

The Los Angeles Lakers, a brand-new team, actually defend very well. Xie Chen was the best defensive player last season. Mozgov and Luol Deng are guys who can also show super defense in the playoffs. Randall is also good at defense. Although Ingram has not yet proved himself, he is tall and long, young and aggressive, and he is not bad.

Facing Ingram's defense, James Harden first held the ball in his left hand and suddenly accelerated towards it. Everyone knows how terrible Harden's ability to make fouls is, so Ingram retreated quickly, fearing that he would attack the basket. It's too late.

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

Harden's scoring continued to let the Rockets lead by 4 points, but Xie Chen, who had already started chasing points, how could he stop there?

After a lightning breakthrough, he casually used James' ability to slam into the opponent, and won two free throw opportunities.

This attack still took less than 5 seconds.

D'Antoni claims to solve the offense in 7 seconds. Now it seems that this is more suitable for Xie Chen.

Seeing Xie Chen easily walk to the free throw line, James Harden became a little worried. Xie Chen only scored 15 points in the first half, and now Xie Chen has scored 10 points after only a few minutes in the third quarter. It is obvious that he has entered the confrontation between the superstars of the two teams. Can score 40 points in one game!This is not a level scorer at all!
However, although Harden does not have Howard, he also has a new powerful helper, that is, Ryan Anderson. His scoring is second only to Harden, and he has already scored close to 20 points.After Xie Chen made two free throws, the guy made another shot.

Yang Jiandao: "Now the game is starting to look good. It's a bit tit-for-tat. The Rockets and the Lakers are not strictly top teams this season, but the duel between the two teams is very exciting."

Xie Chen has now fully entered his personal performance time, relying on his powerful and diverse personal abilities to score, and it is crazy and continuous scoring. He wants to directly overwhelm his opponent in one go. At this time, no one can stop him!
James Harden and Xie Chen have played against each other many times, and they have a good relationship in private. They often go to nightclubs to chat about girls, so Harden knows Xie Chen very well. As soon as he sees Xie Chen's focused and serious expression when he holds the ball, Harden knows that it's over, Xie Chen is still determined to win this ball.

As soon as Xie Chen broke through the opponent's line of defense and was about to go inside, Harden suddenly jumped out from the other side, holding his arms to block Xie Chen's body. When the two of them were in contact, Harden noticed that Xie Chen was rushing very hard. All movements seemed very natural, and Xie Chen's body was not out of balance, so he hit the fadeaway shot steadily, and even called James Harden for a foul.

Harden was very depressed: "How can this guy's body balance be controlled so well? After being pushed by me, he can still maintain such a stable posture in the air and make a shot."

Harden's push on Xie Chen actually assisted Xie Chen, making Xie Chen lean back more comfortably.

"He made it again! Oh my God, Xie Chen completely took over the game in the third quarter. He has scored 30 points now. I think the Rockets will strengthen his defense next time!" Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi's guess was correct. Xie Chen's consecutive scoring was very attractive to firepower. When Xie Chen held the ball again, he encountered two double-team defenses.

Even in a regular season, you can't keep scoring all by yourself, can you?
"Double-teaming! Xie Chen is going to pass the ball. I don't know if the other Lakers players can..." The commentator was talking, thinking that Xie Chen would pass the ball to his teammates after encountering double-teaming defenses. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen actually faced the two players and shot backwards!
When Kobe saw this scene, he was also shocked. This scene seemed familiar. Isn't this Kobe himself when he faced the two defensive jumpers?
The Rockets are also very strange, Xie Chen actually chose [-]v[-]!They all thought that Xie Chen would choose to pass the ball.

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

Xie Chen has been practicing this throughout the offseason, and finally had such an opportunity to hone in an official NBA game. How could Xie Chen choose to pass the ball and give up this opportunity for trial!

Swish!
I saw that Xie Chen still made a precise hit in the face of the forceful shots of the two!

"I'll go, Kobe is possessed! Shooting against the two of you, Xie Chen is a true master of my science!"

"I don't understand Xie Chen. Didn't he intend to help the rookie Ingram today? He helped Ingram score in the first half, and Ingram was open just now, and he chose to play in the top two?"

"It can only be said that Xie Chen's scoring addiction is on the rise, and no one can stop it!"

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

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

Harden also gave a helpless laugh. Last season, Xie Chen didn't take the regular season so seriously, and even in the playoffs, when he encountered a double team, he first passed the ball out first. But today's performance, seeing the double team, Xie Chen actually looked very excited, and chose to play hard without hesitation. Is this a tribute to Kobe because of Kobe's presence...

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

"It's another one-for-two, and another Jordan-style iconic fadeaway jumper! Is Xie Chen's scoring ability so strong now? Neither of them can guard against him?" Yang Jian exclaimed after seeing Xie Chen's unreasonable scoring again.

Yang Yi also said: "Xie Chen's ability last season was far from reaching his upper limit. This season must have improved. You can see that he was very calm and calm when facing two defenses. He neither lost the ball nor was he killed by two defenses. Moreover, his footsteps when facing two defenses were very beautiful. Two people could never interfere and stop Xie Chen at the same time. In fact, Xie Chen's two shots were still only interfered by one of the players."

Yang Jian also said: "That's right, Xie Chen is very clear about the positions of the two of them, and can even predict how they will guard against him in the future. In addition, Xie Chen's speed is too fast, if the two of them are negligent, they will not be able to keep up."

Seeing Xie Chen's strong hits one after another, and already surpassed Harden in scoring, Harden couldn't hold back any longer. When he reached the three-point line, he directly shot three-pointers. Harden's three-pointers are not fast, but they are not easy to guard against. You dare not take off in front of him easily, after all, he is also a master of fake moves.

"Harden hit a [-]-pointer!"

Looking back, Xie Chen made a three-pointer through the pick-and-roll, and quickly returned Harden's three-pointer.

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

In the third quarter, the Lakers scored basically from Xie Chen, and everyone also enjoyed Xie Chen's personal gorgeous performance.

The Lakers have many diehard fans for many years. After watching the first game of the new season, they probably know what kind of team the Lakers are this season, relying on superstars to rule the game.

It was not only the opponents who were shocked, but also teammates and coaches.

The head coach Wharton said inwardly: "Xie's scoring ability is really unparalleled. In just a few minutes, he went from being behind to leading the score. From now on, the task of chasing points can be entrusted to him with peace of mind. I am so lucky. I have such a useful player under my coach in the first year. His physical condition must be maintained in good condition. The team cannot live 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 and too many historical superstars. This invisible pressure forces Xie Chen to show his best form. What makes Xie Chen so crazy is not his opponent James Harden, but those great Lakers players in the past, such as Magic Johnson, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... Xie Chen compared them!He wants to do what these guys can't do!

James Harden didn't want to be the background king in the first game of the new season. At this time of the game, he had to show his superstar appearance to confront Xie Chen. However, Harden's attack was resolute this time, and Xie Chen also saw it. Harden was about to have a shooting opportunity, but Xie Chen suddenly appeared in front of him, and the Lakers even double-teamed Harden!Is this the Lakers' strategy?
Harden obviously didn't think that was the case, but felt that this was a gamble by Xie Chen!Based on his understanding of Harden, Xie Chen knew that Harden would shoot as soon as he had the opportunity this time. If Xie Chen hadn't come over, Harden would really pull up and shoot. He has already obtained the shooting space, and the success rate of this shot is still very high.

However, it was useless for Xie Chen to come over. Harden was very good at judging the situation. Seeing Xie Chen coming over, he immediately realized that the teammate in the right corner was empty, and quickly moved the ball over!

And when Harden raised his arm, Xie Chen knew that Harden was going to pass the ball. Even after Harden moved the ball, Xie Chen still had a chance to block the pass!

Xie Chen, who was about to pounce on Harden, suddenly changed direction, turned around and rushed towards the Rockets player in the corner.

Seeing that Xie Chen was going to grab the ball, the opponent jumped up to catch the ball, but just as he was about to get the ball in his hands, Xie Chen, who rushed over like lightning, flicked the ball up, and the two jumped up again to grab the ball.

Xie Chen got the ball and was followed by two Rockets players including Harden before rushing up in the backcourt. Xie Chen was suppressed immediately and couldn't start up. The Rockets quickly took this opportunity to return to defense.

And since Xie Chen missed the first opportunity to attack, instead of being in a hurry, he slowly reached the three-point line, directly used McGrady's three-pointer to pull out his hand in front of the defender, and hit the three-pointer again!
"My God! So confident! If Xie Chen can keep playing like this and scoring goals like this, there's no need for Little Wharton!" Yang Yi was also dumbfounded. He could clearly see that Xie Chen, who didn't have a superstar around him, played more casually and unscrupulously now.

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

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

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chen made two additional deductions and scored 30 points in a single quarter!The Lakers also went from being 10 points behind to leading by 14 points!
"In the first game of the new season, he staged a crazy solo performance of 30 points in a single quarter! What will Xie Chen do this season? No one can predict it!"

"I think he has already 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. What's more frightening is that assists and steals are still at the top of the league!"
