Super all-around point guard

Chapter 672 Reappear the classic lore!

Xie Chen's unconventional style of play completely made Popovich lose control of his emotions. This punch hit the referee so coincidentally. The referee was dissatisfied with Popovich's yelling on the sidelines, so he took this opportunity to send Popovich off the field.

The head coach was sent off, and the Lakers already had a big lead at this time, so there was no suspense in the game. In the end, the Lakers defeated the legendary Spurs, and Xie Chen did not lose his ability.

……

Back in the arena in 2016, Xie Chen still had to deal with the old version of the Spurs. Ten years later, Ginobili's long flowing hair has become bald, and Popovich has also grown a gray beard. He is the most obviously aging. Perhaps Parker seems to be the least changed among them. Neither his hairstyle nor his mental state have changed much, but this little French sports car can no longer run.

Now that the Lakers are still behind in points, Xie Chen suddenly felt that they had defeated even the most peak players, and there was no reason to lose to them who were getting older. Now is not the era of GDP, but are Leonard and Aldridge great leaders?Is it a formidable opponent?Xie Chen has met and defeated many more powerful combinations than them!
"I can beat them!" Xie Chen regained his confidence. After a short rest, he quickly entered the game state again and started chasing points!
Xie Chen started stealing non-stop, and the steals could always be converted into points quickly. Even if Popovich called a timeout again, he still couldn't interrupt Xie Chen's continuous steals.

Popovich was also a little stunned: "This kid, he already knows our offensive routines like the back of his hand."

Not only that, Xie Chen also knows the competitive state of every Spurs player. Just breaking the old players of the Spurs, like Parker Ginobili Gasol, added up to four.

However, Leonard, who was at his peak, completely disdained Xie Chen. This time he held the ball and found that Xie Chen was defending him and broke through resolutely. Leonard has height and physical confrontation. Point guards like Xie Chen usually don't pay attention to him at all.

However, this time Leonard's forced breakthrough was also interrupted by Xie Chen!

"What? Another steal! Leonard was also cut off?" The fans were amazed. If those old players were cut off because their speed and reaction were inferior to Xie Chen, then why would Leonard be cut off?He is not an old player, how could he be intercepted by Xie Chen so easily!
Both of them are currently the best defensive players in the league. This time, people can clearly see who is the better one!
The reason why Xie Chen was able to easily break Leonard's ball was because Xie Chen used his new ability, Artest's defensive ability!

Artest's defensive ability has only recently become [-]% integrated, and he hasn't used it much. This trick is to deal with those who are heavier than him and forcibly break through. When Leonard forcibly squeezed Xie Chen away with his body, the two collided with each other. .

After stealing the ball this time, Xie Chen slammed down again. Leonard was so angry that he chased after him and tried to block Xie Chen's dunk, but gave Xie Chen a 2+1 chance in vain!
"Oops, the Lakers are going to catch up!" Warriors player Kevin Durant, who was watching the game, couldn't help feeling anxious after seeing this scene. He thought that the Spurs would have a big lead, but Xie Chen still relied on steals and super personal ability to catch up with the score.

Durant carefully recalled the ball just now, and still felt a little strange: "Leonard's strong attack was cut off directly. This is really weird, unless there is a physical collision between the two people's upper bodies, and Leonard loses to Xie, otherwise Xie can't break his ball at all. Xie's physical confrontation has always been unpredictable, but I have tried strong attack in the past, and his defense is not particularly strong, similar to Westbrook."

Durant had experienced Xie Chen's defense before, so he was surprised by this scene.

"It seems that next time we fight, we will try this guy's defense again." Durant said softly.

After being caught up by Xie Chen, the Spurs never widened the gap again, and the score between the two sides was maintained until the last moment of the game.

It’s the tense moment when the winner can only be decided at the last moment. At this time, the Spurs fans can’t help worrying. The Spurs are indeed very strong, and they have been strong for many years, but for some reason, the Spurs always become the background emperor of other teams, and they are always killed by some magical goals!

The most well-known is McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes. At that time, even the Rockets fans at home thought that the Rockets had lost and left the arena early, but in the end they were killed by McGrady with three-pointers after three-pointers. There was also Fisher's 0.4-second lore in the Western Conference semifinals. Special 1.7-second lore, Ray Allen's life-saving three-pointer that stole the Spurs championship...

This tragic past time and time again can always sting the hearts of Spurs fans.

The Spurs succeeded in the last attack, overtook the score again, and led the Lakers by one point. In the end, it was the Lakers who decided the game!

The Spurs can always guarantee to lead their opponents at the last moment. Most of the teams missed the last ball, and the shots they made have become classics.

"It's been a long time since I hit a game-winning shot, so don't worry about leaving it to me this time." Xie Chen said to the coach and teammates during the last timeout of the Lakers.

Wharton and the Lakers players are also very confident in Xie Chen's ability at critical moments. By this time, the Lakers are no longer afraid of the Spurs. At critical moments, it is no longer a team, but a superstar!Leonard is the only Spurs player who can be called a superstar, but he is incomparable to Xie Chen!
In the past two seasons, Xie Chen has made more game-winning shots than Leonard in his entire career!Xie Chen is an out-and-out Mister Key!
"Xie's shooting percentage at critical moments is very high. He doesn't seem to have any psychological pressure at all. Could it be that the Lakers won this game?" Durant muttered. At this time, Green and Curry, who had left before, rushed back to watch the last ball after hearing the news.

For the last ball, Leonard defends Xie Chen!

Xie Chen held the ball and watched the time. He tried not to give the Spurs any chance to attack after hitting the ball.

Seeing Leonard's so focused expression, Xie Chen couldn't help but teased: "You admire Michael Jordan? I heard that you were also obsessed with practicing Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper. Listen, next, I will use this trick to solve you!"

Speaking of Leonard, his style of play sometimes really has the charm of Jordan, because he admires Jordan very much and intentionally imitates Jordan's technical movements. Xie Chen did not intend to use Jordan's fadeaway jumper to shoot the last ball. He said this just to confuse this simple-minded guy.

Leonard is obsessed with Jordan's fadeaway jumper. He used to watch Jordan's videotape practice day and night, coupled with Popovich's guidance, he has achieved what he is today, but in terms of fadeaway jumper ability, Leonard is no match for Xie Chen. Xie Chen is more accurate than Leonard's fadeaway jumper and more like Jordan.

Leonard has always been jealous of Xie Chen's technique, and also wanted to know how Xie Chen practiced it, but due to his shy personality, he would not ask questions directly like Harden and others, and he and Xie Chen were not friends.

But hearing what Xie Chen said, Leonard immediately panicked.

"Damn it, he's going to use a fadeaway jumper!" Leonard had no doubt that Xie Chen was lying to him, because Xie Chen has always been the best at balancing opponents with their unique skills, and telling you in advance what moves I use like Bird Bird has always been their way of pretending to be aggressive.

Leonard really fell for it. When Xie Chen broke through to the right, he had already predicted Xie Chen's next move in his mind, which was a jumper!

Xie Chen counted the time, and when he felt that it was about the same time, after breaking to the right, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, and immediately, Xie Chen retreated beyond the three-point line!

Curry-style three-pointer quick shot!
"What?" Leonard was stunned, it wasn't a fadeaway jumper!

Swish!
Basketball into the net, game over!
Xie Chen beat the Spurs!
"what!"

"yeah!"

All the Lakers players rushed to Xie Chen excitedly to celebrate this exciting moment!They defeated the Spurs and defeated an opponent that even the Warriors could not beat!

The warriors and the spectators all showed expressions on their faces. At the end of the previous half, they were all happy, waiting to see Xie Chen lose, who knows...

Green was already helpless: "Win again, win again! How can they be so lucky! When will they fall from that damn first position!"

Curry watched Xie Chen use his best move to kill the Spurs without saying a word.

Durant doesn't care too much about the Lakers winning or losing. What he cares about is whether Xie Chen's ability has changed again.

On the field, Popovich also had an expression of lovelessness. He couldn't remember how many times he was shot. This time it was not too bad, and Popovich was mentally prepared in advance.

And the only one in the Spurs team who couldn't accept the reality was Leonard alone. Duncan, who was not a player, came up from the sidelines and saw his former younger brother Leonard preparing to walk towards Xie Chen who was cheering and celebrating. Duncan grabbed Leonard and said, "Where are you going, kid?"

Leonard said: "He lied to me."

Duncan patted Leonard's head: "Forget it, I often lied to people before, go back to the locker room, I will go with you."

……

After this battle, the Lakers continue to occupy the No. [-] position in the Western Conference!The momentum and strength shown by the Lakers since the start of the game has really shocked the entire league. Even the Lakers' fans can't believe that they can do it. The game has been played to this day. The Lakers have also experienced the Warriors, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Rockets. These are difficult opponents, and only one loss is enough to prove the strength of the Lakers!
Everyone is looking forward to the Lakers' ranking drop, but Xie Chen refuses to let them do so!It's not that easy for the Warriors to get rid of their exclusive first place!

The next game of the Lakers is against the Atlanta Hawks at home. The Hawks are no longer the team that Xie Chen is familiar with in the previous two seasons. Horford went to the Boston Celtics, Teague went to the Indiana Pacers, and the Hawks ushered in the first No. [-] pick since Elton Brand. The former "Warcraft" Howard is here!

Warcraft Howard was known as the only player in the league who could replace LeBron James alone at that time. One can imagine how strong his worth and strength are. Just a few years ago, the Rockets, Warriors, Mavericks, and Lakers all fought fiercely to get him.

There is a general argument in the league: No one thinks Howard is worth a contract worth 3100 million W, but Howard feels that he is still so valuable. He seeks a contract of more than 4 million US dollars in 1.32 years, but no team manager thinks he meets this price, and no one will make this venture capital.

In the end, Howard signed a three-year contract worth $3 million with the Eagles, and Howard returned to his hometown of Atlanta to play as he wished.

When he came to the Staples Arena again, Howard was full of emotions. He also spent a short time with the Los Angeles Lakers at that time. Although it was not pleasant to recall, he still feels that leaving the Lakers may not be the right decision.

At that time, he left the Lakers because of Kobe, the head coach, and the lack of hope of winning the championship here. Now, Kobe has retired, and the coach has been replaced by the most potential Luke Walton, and the Lakers have Xie Chen. If Howard is also there, he firmly believes that he will have money, fame and honor.

The current record of the Eagles is very bad, with more losses than wins. Howard did not look like he could play at his peak in this brand new team, and the game against the Lakers was suppressed from the beginning.

"The Eagles have no one who can stand up and respond to Xie, Howard? He is no longer a superstar!"

"Well, when he came to our Lakers back then, I still fantasized that he and Kobe could win another championship together. He really disappointed us, but I really hope that now this Lakers team can have him. Xie and Howard are the only players in the league who can replace LeBron James alone!"
