Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen is completely different from Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Jeremy Lin. He is confident, even arrogant. He doesn't know how to write the word "humility" when facing the media. When facing the fans, he is like an accomplished NBA superstar. Open your hands and the whole world will cheer.

No Asian has ever been so arrogant, never before.

In the studio hall of CCTV Sports Channel, the screen cut back to the host station. The hosts Yang Jian and Yang Yi smiled at each other and started the commentary of the game.

Yang Jiandao: "It's another year of basketball carnival season. The new NBA season has finally started again. A new season and a new journey. This is the first regular season game we broadcast. For everyone, last year's NBA runner-up Miami Heat and Everyone is familiar with the Houston Rockets game. I just watched the interview. You should have noticed what an Asian-faced player said. I believe many netizens are familiar with him. He averaged 28.6 points per game in the past three games. Points, this year's rookie, named Xie Chen, Yang Yi, what do you think about this game, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

With a serious face, Yang Yi rubbed his eyes and said impatiently: "When autumn comes and September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom! That's right, the new season has started again. This season is a year of changes. The departure of LeBron James not only announced the disintegration of the Big Three of the Heat dynasty, but also formed a new pattern in the NBA."

"The Heat will be very difficult this year. What is the difficulty? The difficulty lies in what the team will do without James, the difficulty lies in whether Bosh can carry the banner, and the difficulty lies in whether Wade can recover and stay healthy. .”

"On the other hand, the Rockets are young, talented, and aggressive. The combination of the first center and the first shooting guard has become more and more harmonious. Both teams have superstars. There are superstar teams. Looking at the performance of superstars, although Wade has more honors than Harden, it seems that Howard Harden's combination is better than Bosh Wade's combination. The new Luol Deng introduced by the Heat this year is not bad, but The new aid of the Rockets can also be said to be veteran Trevor Ariza, who is still better than Luol Deng."

"You mean the Rockets are better than the Heat in every position?" Yang Jian asked.

"No." Yang Yi said with a serious face, tapped the pen on the table four times slowly, and said word by word: "Point guard."

Yang Jian was very surprised: "I know the Rockets are Beverly, but who is the Heat's point guard?"

"Xie Chen, a Chinese player who scored 36 points in his first show. I used to think that he was at most second to Jeremy Lin, or even worse than Jeremy Lin, but I carefully studied every shot he made in the past three games and found that his Talent and his progress are all jaw-dropping. His three-pointers, arc and posture are exactly the same as Curry. His breakthroughs are very impactful and better every time. It is the key to the game!" Yang Yi mentioned Xie Chen with a serious face, obviously doing a lot of homework for this Chinese compatriot.

Thousands of domestic fans are waiting in front of the TV at this moment. They will see Xie Chen's first game. Can Xie Chen perform well in front of the Chinese compatriots? Can he lead the team to victory?

...

American Airlines Arena, warm up before the game.

"Warcraft" Howard just staged a one-handed dunk, which caused a burst of amazement in the court. This strong man like a big boy smiled happily, showing two rows of big white teeth. He smiled at the fans on the sidelines and shook hands with them. .

Dwight Howard, the undoubted superstar, the active No. 1 center who will make people laugh and respect wherever he goes, the dominant physical superman, the bounce that can kiss the basket, the power to run rampant in the penalty area, and the super long Armspan and gas-like explosiveness.

It's just a pity that until now, he hasn't got his hands on the championship. Once he was only one step away from the championship, but he was trampled underfoot by the flourishing Kobe. After that, he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the championship.

Except for his low-post offensive skills, no one doubts his ability. The only thing that people criticize is his childlike playful character. Perhaps, he should be more serious, more serious, and more like a "Warcraft".

What did he do when the Magic lost to the Lakers in the Finals? He didn't leave that sad place to go back secretly sad, but stayed at the scene and watched how the championship trophy was delivered to the Lakers in his seat. He said afterwards that he wanted to remember this moment and use it to motivate himself, no, any A great player wouldn't do that!

That's a naive and stupid idea!

Perhaps, Howard is really just a child, naive and innocent.

A few days ago, in the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, Howard and Kobe had a conflict. Howard touched Kobe with his elbow. After they separated, the two started talking trash. Howard said, I know, you are a despicable person. Kobe said, softie, give me a try.

Afterwards, Kobe smiled and said that he didn't hold a grudge against Howard because he knew Howard was a "good boy."

In the NBA arena, health determines success or failure, and character determines destiny. This is true for Howard and McGrady.

Xie Chen couldn't help but be infected by Howard's personal charm, but his eyes were always on another player of the Rockets. He had a big beard and silently practiced shooting on the sidelines. One, the first active shooting guard who was knocked to the ground by Artest with an elbow, Ben Harden!

Oh no, James Harden!

Harden is known as "Nightclub Haha" and "Master of Eye Defense", because Harden often goes to nightclubs, especially in away games, and he is generous. On the outside, on the defense, most of them use the famous stunt "eyes to kill" in the slam dunk master Hanamichi Sakuragi to threaten the opponent.

However, Xie Chen knew that this was a way for the sunspots to slander him! In fact, James Harden is a very comprehensive and excellent shooting guard. This season, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one shooting guard in the league. , Iverson, and Wade are not far behind.

The game finally started, Xie Chen's heart was pounding, because this was his first start, Chalmers sat on the bench in frustration, and didn't talk to Xie Chen all day, he was very unhappy because he felt that Xie Chen Not enough to replace him.

At this time, the big screen of the domestic sports channel also showed the starting lineups of the two games.

Rockets: Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, James Harden, Patrick Beverley, Donatas Motiejunas.

Heat: Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Sean Williams and Xie Chen!

"This is Xie Chen's first start. In the previous three games, Xie Chen, who came off the bench, averaged 28 points per game. Today let's see what kind of performance he has. Before that, the two teams were undefeated. win, the Heat have won three consecutive victories, if the Rockets can win five consecutive victories this time, it will be the best start in 8 years. The screen felt the grand occasion of the scene on the other side of the ocean.

Howard gave the basketball to his own team with a jump ball. Harden slowly pushed forward, and everyone retreated to defend. In this first attack, Harden didn't even pass the ball. A three-pointer!

Swish!

A three-pointer is scored!

"Three-pointer! Harden made a three-pointer as soon as he came up! It seems that he has a strong desire to attack today."

After Harden scored a goal, he made an OK gesture that means "three". He looked at Xie Chen through the "O" with one eye, and made the first provocative gesture.

Wade hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xie Chen, "It's my fault for the ball. I was negligent. You don't need to pay attention to him. I won't let him run amok here."

Xie Chen didn't doubt Wade's ability at all, but he had to respond to Harden's provocation.

Xie Chen dribbled the ball across the half court, and a defender appeared in front of him, Beverly!

Beverly's eyes glowed like a wild wolf in the dark. He was called "Mad Dog" because of his bloody defense, and he was also called "Little Prince of Waste". Among them, the relationship between him and Westbrook The grievances between them are the most talked about. When Beverly was playing away games in Europe, he was thrown tear gas by the opposing fans, and he didn't change his face. Such a "non-star player" with a strong mentality and fearlessness is indeed a person. A fearful defensive opponent.

"Rookie, make a bold breakthrough, I know you can do it." Beverly said with a smirk.

Xie Chen's palms were sweating. This guy obviously wanted to start a fierce fight with him. Even Westbrook's perverted physical fitness couldn't stand Beverly's harassment. Xie Chen faced him head-on, and suffered even more.

"I have to say that Beverly is one of the best defensive point guards. Xie Chen faced him like..." Yang Jian shook his head and sighed.

"Beverly is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. Lowry's breakthrough skills should be able to deal with him." Xie Chen thought about it, and rushed over with an acceleration!

Xie Chen wanted to use Lowry's speed and breakthrough ability to break through Beverly's defense. The moment the two collided, there was a stalemate for more than half a second, but after that, Xie Chen still failed to break through Beverly's defense!

"Xie Chen is still too anxious. He has a thin body, and it is almost impossible to use his body to squeeze Beverly's defense."

And what Xie Chen complained in his heart was: "Damn it, with 70% of Lowry's strength, he still can't squeeze Beverly away!"

Seeing this scene, the audience was silent, only the sound of Xie Chen unwillingly dribbling the ball and hitting the floor could be heard.

This game is not easy to play!
