Super All-around Point Guard

For a period of time, O'Neal's free throw percentage was close to 70%! The "shark-killing tactic" adopted by various teams on O'Neal has turned out to be a stupid strategy!

You can imagine how terrifying it would be if an inside killer like O'Neal could even make free throws!

It was Pinskas, a shooting coach from Australia, who created O'Neal. At that time, O'Neal heard that someone in Australia had made 1,592 free throws out of 1,595 in a free throw test. O'Neal trains free throws.

Sure enough, O'Neal's free throw shooting rate has improved amazingly. At the beginning of the season, there was a joke that he made 0 of 11 free throws in a single game. However, in the last game of the regular season, O'Neal made all 13 free throws!

However, just when O'Neal was getting better and better, Binskas suddenly opened his mouth and proposed new renewal conditions. He hoped to receive $2,000 a day. In addition, when O'Neal's free throw shooting rate reached More than 65% of the time, he will receive a certain bonus. Calculated in this way, O'Neal will pay him more than 1 million US dollars for the entire season.

O'Neal immediately became angry and said, "I don't need him, I can improve my free throw percentage myself!"

Everyone knows what happened next. O'Neal left the Australian. He was really evil. He couldn't shoot free throws anymore, but he, a face-conscious person, was unwilling to call Binskas to ask him to help. Himself, if O'Neal had spent some money to keep this guy, he would have been even more terrifying. It might have been easier to win against the Mavericks in 2006, and his position on the scoring list would definitely have moved up one spot.

Xie Chen knew what O'Neal cared about, so every word he said could make O'Neal angry. When James used James' layup ability to lay up, O'Neal was not polite and directly knocked Xie Chen down.

Xie Chen was naturally very angry. Since O'Neal acted like this, there was no need for Xie Chen to be polite. Although Xie Chen wanted to beat O'Neal openly, but on such a special day, Xie Chen just wanted to play against Kobe, not the 37-year-old Kobe. The only way to fight is to have a quick fight, and the only choice is for the opponent to be Kobe, who is in his early 20s just like him.

As for the legendary Lakers team in front of us, Shark O'Neal is the protagonist, so if you want to have a good game with Kobe, you have to get O'Neal down first.

The "Ma Long's Elbow", which has not been used for a long time, has another chance to appear.

O'Neal completely dismissed Xie Chen, who was one size smaller than him. So what if he could shoot or dunk again? Didn't I just pull you down easily and put you to the ground when I met you? He never imagined that the opponent in front of him would turn into Karl Malone at a certain moment!

Karl Malone is as strong as O'Neal. The fate of these two people is also interesting. One did not get a ring because he met the first SG in history, and the other started the Lakers dynasty with the help of the second SG in history. And this There is an indescribable complex relationship between the four people, about imitation, about admiration, about teasing, and about conflicts.

Xie Chen walked up to O'Neal and said, "Stop showing off your strength and your dunks. If you do that again, I will do everything possible to stop you."

O'Neal laughed after hearing this and said: "Hahaha, your little sports car still wants to stop the tank? You might as well say, 'Hey, I want to give you a 2+1 chance'!"

O'Neal was dismissive of Xie Chen. Xie Chen didn't want O'Neal to dunk, so O'Neal wanted to wreak havoc on the opponent with another dunk. This time, when O'Neal caught the ball again and was about to dunk, Xie Chen pulled the opponent down from behind.

What is very shocking is that Xie Chen knocked O'Neal down directly with this tug!

"How is this possible?!" O'Neal was lying on the ground, unable to believe that this was true. He was knocked down by a No. 1 position? This is so embarrassing.

Xie Chen also took the initiative to pull O'Neal, but O'Neal didn't reach out. It was Xie Chen who dragged O'Neal up. O'Neal didn't exert any force himself. It was all Xie Chen's strength that forced O'Neal. At this time, O'Neal knew even more about Xie Chen. The power is getting stronger.

Xie Chen said to O'Neal: "I will continue to cause trouble for you, and you'd better end up consciously."

Of course, O'Neal was not a submissive person. He glared at Xie Chen condescendingly: "Boy, do you want to fight? I really want to test how strong you are."

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Maybe there will be a chance in the future, but I don't want to fight with you today, otherwise I will be sent off. I just want you to play."

"Why?" O'Neill asked.

Xie Chen looked at Kobe.

At this time, O'Neal had already felt the threat from Kobe. He didn't say anything, and he didn't make any move to leave the game. So Xie Chen gave O'Neal hidden elbows from time to time, which made O'Neal suffer a lot. Finally, he twisted slightly. His feet were carried out. O'Neal seemed to be fearless, but he was fundamentally different from someone like Artest.

After O'Neal left, Xie Chen walked up to Kobe Bryant and said, "Now you are the boss of the team. The second half is a duel between the two of us. Are you ready?"

Kobe has been looking forward to this moment for a long time: "Let me teach you how to play basketball hand by hand!"

The showdown between Xie Chen and Kobe is officially on!

At this age, Kobe still relies more on his speed, passion and physical talent to play. Without O'Neal, Kobe has become like a duck in water. He believes that he already has the ability to lead the team, and what he lacks is just opportunities.

Kobe is indeed a scoring maniac. He quickly scored 7 points and continued to expand his lead. Unfortunately, Kobe encountered an opponent that he could not imagine today.

If Kobe Bryant shoots a three-pointer, Xie Chen will return a three-pointer. If Kobe Bryant shoots two three-pointers, Xie Chen will return three in a row!

When Kobe Bryant dunks a basket, Xie Chen will also look for opportunities to dunk a more difficult dunk. When Kobe Bryant makes a fadeaway jumper, Xie Chen will also make a fadeaway jumper, and he is even better than Kobe Bryant.

No matter what moves Kobe makes, Xie Chen can counterattack Kobe in the same way. Except for difficult layups, Xie Chen is slightly better than Kobe in all aspects.

At this time, legendary Lakers coach Phil Jackson also looked surprised.

Xie Chen kept pressing Kobe to play, and Kobe, who considered himself the number one one-on-one player in the world, felt even more pressure. Although he would not admit defeat, Xie Chen did put Kobe under too much pressure.

"Why does he score so easily? How come he has so many skills?" Kobe was already a little overwhelmed.

However, the competitive Kobe did not admit defeat at all, and various difficult moves followed one after another, such as gliding dunks, super pull-up layups, ultra-high arc three-pointers and three-plus-ones... Kobe went crazy in this game!

"Huh...huh..." Kobe gasped, sweating profusely, and steam was coming out of his hair. He had already scored 60 points, and he and Xie Chen couldn't even walk on both legs. Got it! But he found it very enjoyable! He has never played such a fun game, and has never encountered such a strong opponent!

"He scored 80 points..." Kobe looked at Xie Chen, panting heavily and murmured.

The last quarter of the game also came to an end, and the Knicks had no hope of a comeback. The legendary Lakers had gained enough leads when O'Neal was on the court. After O'Neal came off the court, Kobe Bryant's team suppressed the opponent's counterattack, and Phil Jackson only let Xie Chen One person scored, and Xie Chen let his score stay at 80 points in the end.

Xie Chen also worked hard until he was exhausted. Not only did he have to run around the court, but he also talked to stimulate Kobe from time to time. But in the end, Xie Chen took the initiative to hug Kobe, although Xie Chen knew that Kobe at this age would not like to hug him.

Xie Chen looked at Kobe who was exhausted and said, "Look, your hair is smoking. Let's cut it off."

Although Kobe won the game, he lost to Xie Chen in the individual duel. Except for layups and difficult three-pointers, Kobe completely lost.

Kobe said to Xie Chen: "Just wait, I will surpass you soon, I will score 81 points!"

Xie Chen looked at the young Kobe and smiled. This smile lasted until the man in front of him instantly aged more than ten years.

"What's wrong?" Kobe asked when he saw Xie Chen's eyes were in a trance during the 2016 NBA game.

Xie Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you age so fast."

Kobe smiled and pushed Xie Chen and continued the game.

On the day when Kobe faced Xie Chen at Staples for the last time, Xie Chen and Kobe fought for the entire second half, but unfortunately, Kobe didn't know it.

The result is not important. What is important is the exhilaration of two people who are so dedicated to basketball when they meet each other.

In the second half, when the Lakers and the Knicks were playing, the Cavaliers generals who had just finished a game in Cleveland were watching the showdown between the Lakers and the Knicks in the locker room.

James also likes to watch Kobe's games, and Xie Chen is an opponent that James is particularly interested in. Although there will be no suspense in this game, it still needs to be watched.

When he saw the score, the Knicks were already 10 points ahead. James took a sip of water and nodded: "Xie has already scored 40 points. He doesn't often score high points this season. He did his best against Kobe. Kobe They also scored 30 points. It seems that their last duel should satisfy the fans who like them."

Head coach Blatt smiled and looked at James, who was outstanding in the low post on the team, and said with a smile: "LeBron, when you face off against Kobe for the last time, how many points are you going to score?"

James did not reply to Blatt, but turned to assistant coach Tyronn Lue and said: "If the New York Knicks win this game, they should be ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, right?"

Tyronn Lue checked the information and said: "No, LeBron, if they win this game, they will still be eighth in the Eastern Conference."

James was shocked after hearing this and lost all interest in watching the game: "How is this possible? Didn't they rank eighth in the Eastern Conference a long time ago? Have they encountered any strong opponents recently? Show me quickly."

Tyronn Lue pointed out the computer to James: "If there is a strong opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers were one in the last game, but they won this game, but the Suns and Pistons lost."

"What? The Knicks will lose to the Suns and Pistons? This is simply impossible!" James was greatly surprised. He has been busy with team training recently and did not pay attention to Xie Chen's recent situation. He thought the Knicks would return to the Eastern Conference third place. After eight, I will continue to improve my record. I didn’t expect that it has been so long, but I am still lingering in eighth place!

James became uninterested in watching the game. Others didn't understand why James was making such a fuss. Both Irving and JR felt that losing a few games was nothing. It was normal to lose to weak teams. If they were as strong as the Warriors and Spurs, they would still fall at the hands of weak teams. ? On the contrary, when they met the knights, they were all beaten to pieces like chickens.

"LeBron, are you too sensitive? Losing is normal." Kyrie Irving said.

James wasn't sure about anything at this time, he just vaguely felt that it shouldn't be like this.

First of all, it is impossible for the Knicks to lose to the Suns. The Suns' winning rate this season is pitifully low. Even if Xie Chen is really in bad shape, the Knicks still have a high probability of defeating their opponents.

The Pistons can't afford to lose. Both the Pistons and the Knicks are hovering around eighth place. The two teams are strong rivals. Maybe the outcome of this game will determine which of the two teams makes the playoffs in the end.

James thought about it carefully, then glanced at the Knicks' ever-expanding score on the big screen, and said, "Maybe I'm too sensitive. I always feel that losing to the Suns and Pistons is too undeserved. They should win them all." of."

Blatt laughed and said: "Don't think too highly of them. No one can win all the games. I never think the New York Knicks are a strong team. Even if we meet them in the playoffs, we will still win in six games." Solve the battle within."

…

Staples Center.

Kobe hugged Xie Chen from behind in a bear hug, preventing him from going to the layup. This type of foul was the first time Xie Chen encountered it. The audience was also amused by this loving foul. On the field, the two really interpreted the meaning of two generations of stars.

Kobe Bryant's score set a new season high, scoring 41 points. Xie Chen only needs to make one more free throw to score 50 points tonight. In the last duel between Kobe and Jordan more than ten years ago, Kobe Bryant Scored more than 50 points. How similar was the scene then to tonight?

When Xie Chen stepped to the free throw line, a scene that surprised Xie Chen happened. Shouts of "MVP" rang out from the scene!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Xie Chen was able to receive MVP cheers at Staples Center! Receiving MVP calls in an away game is a supreme honor that few players can achieve. Even if they do, they are superstars who have been in the NBA for many years. Young players like Xie Chen are too rare.

In the audience, there were actually people holding signs, welcoming Xie Chen to come to the Lakers to take over from Kobe Bryant. They also wrote on the back that they didn’t want Jimmy Butler, but only Xie Chen.

Xie Chen asked Kobe: "If I come to Los Angeles next season, will you play for another year?"
