Super All-around Point Guard

After Adam Silver invited Carter, Carter agreed without hesitation. As the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest champion and recognized as the strongest dunker in NBA history, he is certainly qualified to sit on the judges' bench, but this is still a bit It's strange, because Carter is still an active player. It's quite interesting for an active player to participate in the All-Star Game, not to be selected by fans to compete, but to be a judge.

NBA officials soon announced the news: Vince Carter will serve as a judge for the 2016 Toronto All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!

Once the news was announced, the fans went even crazier, especially those who were Xie Chen's black fans.

"Hahaha, even the NBA officials can't stand Xie Chen's pretense anymore, and they even asked Carter to be the judge of the slam dunk contest! Didn't Xie Chen say he wants to surpass Carter? Watch Carter give you a zero and let you keep complaining!"

"This All-Star Slam Dunk Contest must be very interesting! I really want to know how many points Carter would give Xie Chen if Xie Chen provoked Carter? Will he give a low score on purpose? In short, Xie Chen failed this time!"

Everyone wanted to see Xie Chen's jokes. The situation became very similar to last year's All-Star Game. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen, as a rookie, became the biggest hot topic in the league last year, and it is the same this year.

Soon, Xie Chen himself and Wang Zhihui also learned the news. Seeing Wang Zhihui's melancholy look, Xie Chen smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be great for Carter to be the judge of the slam dunk contest? I say these big words to attract fans, and Adam Xiaohua is helping me."

Wang Zhihui said cautiously: "However, I am still worried that Vince Carter may be a stingy person, such as deliberately giving you a low score..."

Xie Chen waved his hand: "You are overthinking, Carter is not that kind of person, and even if he is, he can't bear to give me a low score when he sees my dunk."

Xie Chen has absolute confidence in this point, because Xie Chen will use Vince Carter's dunk ability. When Carter sees Xie Chen's dunk action, he will definitely have a familiar feeling of familiarity. Carter has no reason to dislike it. His own dunk.

Xie Chen kept browsing the comments of netizens on Twitter and Weibo on his computer. The more he read, the more interesting he found it. Many people were waiting for his jokes. Many people thought that Adam Xiaohua was the one who followed. Xie Chen invited Carter because of his disobedience.

After thinking about it, Xie Chen decided to make things bigger!

Xie Chen dialed Michael Jordan's phone number.

Jordan was taking a nap at this time. When his wife Yvette saw that it was Xie Chen, she immediately took the phone to him, because Jordan had told him that as long as it was a call from Xie Chen, he would wake him up even when he was sleeping. he.

Jordan hadn't spoken to Xie Chen for a long time. When he woke up and answered the phone, he seemed energetic: "Hey, are you still enjoying your regular season vacation? If you are bored, you can come to me to train with you."

Jordan has also heard about Xie Chen, but he doesn't think it matters. After all, Xie Chen is only in his second year. It doesn't matter even if he can't play this season. Xie Chen will have plenty of time in the future.

Xie Chen chatted with Jordan for a while and asked Jordan: "You also know that I have said a long time ago that I will participate in the dunk contest in Toronto. The league has invited Vince Carter to be a judge for one of the dunk contests. Didn't you know? Are you interested in being a judge with him?”

"Be a judge?" Jordan paused. In fact, the league has invited Jordan to be a judge in the slam dunk contest in recent years, but Jordan doesn't want to go. Xie Chen is a junior that Jordan admires very much. For Xie Chen, Jordan is willing , not to mention, there is also LeBron James on this year's list of participants.

James has often been compared to Jordan in the past few years. If you can give him a score, I believe it will be good.

Jordan immediately agreed to Xie Chen's request.

Then, two hours later, NBA officials released another news: the great Michael Jordan will also serve as a judge for the Toronto All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest!

"Holy crap! Even the first-generation trapeze player can't stand Xie Chen anymore. No matter how arrogant you are, Xie Chen, in front of the two generations of trapeze artists, let's see how shocking the dunks you can do! Just wait and be embarrassed!"

Looking at the comments from netizens, Xie Chen couldn't help but feel ridiculous, but maybe this was their fun. It's good to be able to live so happily without knowing the truth.

However, Jordan being the judge of the slam dunk contest made James feel uneasy.

…

Soon, the time came to 2016.

The year 2015 can be said to be the most important year in Xie Chen's life. In this year, he participated in the All-Star Game as the league's All-Star vote leader, defeated Curry to become the three-point contest champion, and won the All-Star Game. The MVP of the All-Star Game, after that, he led the Heat to become the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference, and also shined in the playoffs, sweeping the Pacers, defeating the Bulls, overcoming the Cavaliers after falling behind 0:3, and defeating the Cavaliers in the Finals. He won the Warriors, the team with the best record in the league, and was honored as FMVP.

This year, Xie Chen also got married.

The new year has begun, and no one knows whether Xie Chen will have such enviable achievements in this year.

However, at the beginning of 2016, Xie Chen and his Knicks team were destined to not have an easy time.

The Knicks have lost all five games since Anthony was suspended, and their ranking in the Eastern Conference has dropped to eighth in the Eastern Conference. They will soon be squeezed out. Although it is still very early before the end of the regular season, this is undoubtedly a disappointing situation. A sign of concern.

Fortunately, Anthony is coming back. Xie Chen believes that as long as Anthony is here, the team can still maintain it. When Xie Chen comes back again, the Knicks will still be a safe playoff team.

Anthony's first game back was against the Hornets. Xie Chen went to Charlotte with the team, hoping to boost the team's morale and end their losing streak as soon as possible.

Anthony is very energetic today. He knows that he has a heavy responsibility now. Xie Chen doesn’t know how long he will be suspended. And before Xie Chen comes back, Anthony must carry the team’s victory or defeat on his shoulders. If Nick If the Spurs keep losing streak and cannot even make the playoffs, it will really be a joke. The strongest backcourt combination in the league keeps talking about championships and championships. Isn't that ridiculous?

Anthony is still at the top of the scoring list, beating Stephen Curry. As soon as the game started, the scoring leader showed up with all kinds of three-pointers, all kinds of forced breakthrough layups, and his opponents were at a loss what to do, while Al Jefferson Just as good, he is very skilled in low post play and Lopez is no match for him.

The score went up and down, and Anthony quickly scored 40 points. But at this time, Anthony accidentally sprained his ankle when he landed on a forced layup!

"Anthony!" Xie Chen couldn't help but stood up worriedly when he saw Anthony's painful appearance.

It rained all night, and the Knicks lost consecutive games. It was hard to wait for the team's ace to come back, and finally there was hope of winning. Anthony was injured again in the first game after his comeback. I don't know if it's serious or not. , if Anthony cannot come back in the short term, what should the Knicks do?

If the Knicks' record continues to be bad, and Xie Chen and Anthony come back very late, then there may be no way to save the day.

After Anthony left the game, the Hornets' offense became stronger. Many people thought the Knicks were going to be finished. Unexpectedly, at this time, rookie Porzingis stepped forward.

He first hit a mid-range shot, then set a pick-and-roll for his teammates. After the pick-and-roll, he received the pass, strode to the basket, dodged the defense and put the basketball into the basket with a flick. His style of play was very smart. You can't see goals from an inside player like Howard.

Then, when the Hornets attacked, he saw Jeremy Lin's open space in the corner and rushed over very actively. When Jeremy Lin shot a three-pointer, Porzingis slapped the ball and blocked it.

On both ends of the offense and defense, Porzingis stood up, which surprised Xie Chen.

Xie Chen secretly said: "Porzingis has indeed proven himself and Phil's vision, but his previous performance can only be said to be acceptable, perhaps because everyone looked down on him too much before. Here For a team with Anthony and me, he will grow very slowly, but I am going to win the championship this year, so I can't wait for him to grow, and I also determined that he will not help me much in the playoffs, but now, Things may change.”

Xie Chen saw Porzingis, who was young and immature and even a little nervous on the court, as if he saw himself last year. Porzingis also had that hard work and stubbornness to refuse to admit defeat, but this big man didn't like to express himself very much. Just come out.

The Hornets' offense is still very strong. In the blink of an eye, they have gone from behind to leading the Knicks by 5 points, and there are only 3 minutes left in the game. At this time, Porzingis stood outside the three-point line and shot a shot. Three points!

"What?" Even Xie Chen couldn't believe it. At this critical moment, Porzingis dared to shoot a three-pointer?

Uh-huh!

The ball hit the net!

It actually went in!

Xie Chen couldn't help but smile, looking forward to Porzingis' performance more and more.

"Will he lead the team to victory? Will he have the ability?" Xie Chen was excited. Just like when he suddenly knew that Hassan, a guy from the Development League, was a diamond in the Heat last season, Xie Chen would be so lucky for two consecutive years. ? The team has acquired future inside talent without any cost or sacrifice?

Then, Porzingis went berserk again and performed his specialty, dunking on every other player! He has a very good awareness of rushing for rebounds, and his height advantage is very obvious. He dunks the ball into the basket easily while grabbing the rebound.

The Knicks overtake it again!

This was a result that no one expected. When Xie Chen had a truce and Anthony retired due to injury, Porzingis stood up as a rookie, but the Hornets obviously would not be defeated by a rookie. Then, they rose up Chasing, at the last critical moment, they took the lead by two points.

Finally, with only 0.6 seconds left in the game and the Knicks trailing by two points, this was their last chance to attack.

Without Xie Chen, without Anthony, without Ray Allen, because Ray Allen was also not feeling well, it seemed that no one from the Knicks could complete the final buzzer-beater or equalize the score.

Xie Chen was also very impatient. This feeling of not being able to play was really uncomfortable. He hated Oladipo very much. If it hadn't been for his provocation, he wouldn't have been suspended.

Xie Chen turned his attention to rookie Porzingis again, thinking: "Can he create a miracle and complete the final attack?"

Unfortunately, the tactics arranged by Fisher were not handed over to Porzingis.

However, the changes on the field were beyond Fisher's control. The player who was going to shoot the buzzer-beater couldn't catch the ball at all. In desperation, the ball passed to Porzingis!

After Porzingis got the ball, he immediately took a three-point shot and hit it!

The entire Knicks dugout stood up and cheered!

Killer! Porzingis completed a three-pointer! Have the Knicks finally won a game?

Xie Chen couldn't help but marvel: "This guy... is really incredible. I really underestimated him."

Even Porzingis, who made the last shot, just waved his arm excitedly, without any exaggerated celebrations, but fortunately there was none.

Because in less than thirty seconds, the referee suddenly sounded the whistle again and then made a gesture invalidating the goal.

The Knicks went from heaven to hell, replaced by the cheers of the entire Hornets fans.

There is almost no controversy, because Xie Chen can also see that Porzingis took a late shot and the Knicks still did not win in the end, but Xie Chen was extremely happy.

After seeing his winning goal ruled out, the big Latvian boy lowered his head in frustration and did not even dare to look up at Xie Chen.

"I'm sorry." Porzingis also knew that Xie Chenduo hoped that the team could maintain its record. He tried his best, but he failed to complete the task and help the team.

Xie Chen smiled when he saw Porzingis taking the responsibility on his shoulders. It was the first time he had such an appreciative smile for Porzingis. Xie Chen patted Porzingis and said, "Do it." Well done, the last shot was a great shot.”

Porzingis shook his head: "It's a pity that the ball was invalid."

Xie Chen told him: "Just score. In my case, this goal is valid."

"Boss..." Porzingis was also very moved. It was the first time that Xie Chen had such encouragement and recognition for him. He clenched his fists and secretly vowed to perform better in the next game.

After returning to New York, Xie Chen immediately made an appointment with team president Phil Jackson. He wanted to discuss a very important issue with the Zen master.

"After you left, the team couldn't win a game. I had the same headache as you. If this continues, we will face a strong team in the first round of the playoffs. By then, we may be eliminated in the first round. This is what I don’t want to see.” Phil Jackson confided to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen replied: "If I am eliminated in the playoffs, then whether I am eliminated in the first round or the Eastern Conference finals, it is the same to me. I don't care about the ranking in the playoffs, as long as I can enter the playoffs." It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. I came to you today because I want to talk to you about a person, Porzingis. I want him to be the boss of the current team!"
