Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen couldn't help but get excited when he thought of breaking the record. The single-game scoring record will be broken sooner or later, because Xie Chen has already done it in the Legend Challenge, so he has absolute confidence. And the single-game steal record, He had never thought of it before.

Like the current steal masters in the league, Chris Paul, Wade, and Leonard's highest number of steals in a single game is only 9, 8, and 7 times, and none of them are close to the highest record of 11 times. His ability is already outstanding enough. Xie Chen does not have better physical talent than Leonard. His ability is also Chris Paul's, so there is something neither of them can do. Generally speaking, it is difficult for Xie Chen to do it, so Xie Chen Chen must use some strategy, such as using Noah's slow reaction to steal as he did just now.

Noah has been exploited twice in a row. I believe that no matter how stupid he is, he will not be fooled again. If the ball is thrown into his arms next time, he will definitely hold on tightly to prevent Xie Chen from cutting it off again, but it doesn't matter. , there is still time in the game, Xie Chen can slowly look for opportunities. If he is lucky, he may be able to easily harvest the remaining five steals without any strategy.

One place where steals are very easy to occur is at the top of the arc, especially when the opponent has just started to attack. The players have just settled into position, everyone is very slow, and the ball transfer speed is also very slow, and it is very good. Judgment, especially when the players standing at the top of the arc are cooperating with the players on the left and right sides to pass the ball, it is especially easy to steal. Xie Chen kept waiting for the opportunity. After a few minutes, he completed another steal and then assisted Rea. Len threw in a three-pointer.

Eight steals have tied the half-time steal record. Xie Chen only needs three more steals to equal the highest number of steals in a single game. If he steals four times, he will completely break the record that has been dusted for many years.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Bulls by 12 points. In the Bulls locker room, Rose asked the assistant coach: "Xie seemed to have a lot of steals in the first half. What are his steal statistics?"

"Eight times." the assistant coach replied.

Rose was shocked: "He actually intercepted 8 balls in the first half. I'm afraid this guy wants to break the record tonight."

"This guy definitely wants to break the record!" Noah quickly said after hearing this: "Otherwise he would never pass the ball to me. The same goes for Carmelo Anthony. Although assists are not Anthony's strong point, it is not Are you trying to get in my face? This guy is so ruthless in order to break the record, we must stop him!"

Jimmy Butler also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we must prevent him from breaking the record. In the second half, we must be more cautious when passing the ball. Xie will always lie in wait to intercept our pass. He is very cautious about our passing." He has figured out the offensive routines clearly, so he can always predict accurately in advance. In addition, you must also pay attention when defending. Maybe he will repeat his old tricks, throwing the ball to us first and then stealing the ball. As we all know, he I’ve been able to do anything since my debut.”

The team members discussed how to deal with Xie Chen, but head coach Hoiberg smiled and shook his head. For him, as long as Xie Chen is no longer so crazy about BT's scoring, then let Xie Chen break the record. Breaking, in fact, Hoiberg has no other way. The Bulls can't attack, pass, and cooperate, right?

Hoiberg said: "Xie has already broken 8 times, and there is still half time. Three or four times is very easy for him, so if you don't want him to break the record on your head, just keep your spirits up at all times." Mistakes, if he wants to use other messy methods, we will have to accept his fate."

"Coach!" Jimmy Butler disagreed with Hoiberg's attitude of letting Xie Chen go.

Hoiberg thought he had respected Jimmy Butler enough in this game. He stepped forward and patted Jimmy Butler on the shoulder and said: "We can stop scoring. Let's just leave things like steals to fate. Since Larry Kennon completed it in 1976 After 11 steals, this record has been maintained to this day for 40 years. Chris Paul has been infinitely close to this record. I predicted at that time that this record would be broken in the near future. It seems that it is possible. It’s today!”

Before the start of the second half, the atmosphere at home seemed particularly different. Everyone could see that what Xie Chen was pursuing tonight was not scoring, but another statistic, steals. Xie Chen was destined to break various records in the NBA, and tonight, they will I was honored to witness the birth of a great record.

"So you can't miss any of Xie's football games, otherwise you may regret it for the rest of your life." A white man with white hair and beard said to a friend next to him.

This is why Xie Chen has been the All-Star vote winner for two consecutive years, and this is why people all over the world love to watch Xie Chen play.

For Xie Chen, the situation is even more difficult now. Even the fans know that Xie Chen wants to break the steal record, not to mention those smart opponents. Once the opponents know Xie Chen's thoughts, they will be careful in everything and steal. It will become difficult. Xie Chen does not have high requirements for steals in the third quarter. Two steals are enough, preferably three. Only one more steal is enough in the fourth quarter.

However, he didn't know how difficult it was to steal the ball from a Bulls player until he played on the field!

First of all, facing the opponent's dribbling situation, it is simply too difficult for Xie Chen to intercept the opponent's ball head-on.

"Xie does not have the physical talent like Leonard. If it were Leonard, relying on his death-wound defense and long arms, he would not be able to defeat a dribbling master like D-Wade one-on-one. Question, don’t talk about guys like the Bulls.”

Some fans saw Xie Chen struggling to steal the ball and couldn't help but worry for him.

Since it is difficult to intercept when the opponent is dribbling, the only option is to intercept the pass. As long as the Bulls attack and transfer the ball, Xie Chen will have the opportunity to complete the steal.

Jimmy Butler dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, his eyes wandering, as if he didn't know how to play the next offense. Then, he saw Rose on the right, turned around, and then made a gesture to pass to him. .

Xie Chen realized that this was a good opportunity and rushed over without hesitation. However, he did not expect that Jimmy Butler did not pass the ball at all, but deliberately feinted. After Xie Chen lost his defensive position, he passed the ball. , Rose immediately succeeded in the mid-range shot.

Jimmy Butler laughed at Xie Chen: "Haha, have you been cheated? I knew you wanted to break the single-game steal record. Of course, you can do it. I believe in your ability, but you have to sacrifice this game. At the price of victory! I will win you!"

Xie Chen felt the pressure. He didn't want to blindly gamble on defense just because he wanted to complete the steal, leaving his opponent with open opportunities and losing the victory of the game. He was not a selfish person, and he was not willing to let the efforts of his teammates go. Being worthless because of yourself is not how a leader should behave.

Therefore, Xie Chen did not play such a gambling defense next, and this was what Jimmy Butler expected. In this way, Xie Chen would not be able to break the record.

The third quarter was quickly halfway through, and Xie Chen's steals still stayed at 8!

Xie Chen started to get a little anxious: "Damn it, the Bulls were so focused in this quarter, I didn't have any chance to steal the ball. However, the fusion point is too important to me. Since they didn't give me a chance, I just We can only create opportunities ourselves.”

Xie Chen looked at Noah again.

Xie Chen still wanted to take advantage of Noah, but he had no choice. Although Noah had been tricked twice in a row, Noah was still a little more stupid than others. As long as he used another way to kill him, he would probably He will still be fooled, especially when the ball comes to him, and he cannot think too much at that moment.

Xie Chen planned to make a deliberate dribbling error when attacking, letting the ball hit Noah, letting Noah get the ball, and then break it from his hand immediately. Of course, this requires extremely high skills. , the ball's rebound position must be grasped very accurately, especially the strength. It cannot be too light, and the height cannot be too low, otherwise it will be directly taken away by Noah. And when deliberately throwing the ball, you must pay attention to Noah. He cannot be alerted in advance.

Xie Chen did what he said. The next time, he deliberately broke through to Noah, and then dribbled the ball. The ball hit his thigh and bounced up quickly, which happened to be Noah's direction.

Seeing Xie Chen's dribbling error, Noah also concentrated highly. When he saw the basketball, he instinctively went to grab it. He raised his hands blankly and prepared to get the ball. Xie Chen also followed him and did not compete with Noah to grab the ball. Once Noah gets the ball, it's a steal. If Noah doesn't get it first, it's not a steal.

Everything was under Xie Chen's control. Noah only had basketball in his eyes and was not aware of Xie Chen's existence at all. He did not expect that the tragedy would happen again.

However, Jimmy Butler saw through all this. He saw Xie Chen's conspiracy at a glance. He knew that Xie Chen was 100% deliberately luring Noah into taking the bait. Jimmy Butler was very angry. Could he not just catch one? Man trap!

"This idiot!" Jimmy Butler saw that Noah was trying to reach the ball. As long as Noah got it, Xie Chen would quickly intercept it. Jimmy Butler didn't want Xie Chen to have any more steals, so in desperation, He pushed Noah to the ground from behind!

Noah rolled to the floor with the ball.

Xie Chen, who was about to steal the ball, was stunned. Is he kissing his teammates? Isn't this too harsh?

Noah was so angry that he didn't know who pushed him, but with the strength of the shot, he couldn't guess that it was a Knicks player. He got up and cursed: "FU1CK! Who the hell pushed me!"

No one on the Knicks paid him any attention.

Jimmy Butler rushed forward to support him and advised: "Forget it."

How could Noah be the one who was bullied and suffered the consequences? He yelled at all the Knicks players: "Which bastard pushed me? Is he a man? If you have the guts, stand up for me!"

Immediately, he asked the referee: "Are you blind? Such an obvious foul was not called?"

The Knicks players couldn't stop laughing, but they didn't reveal that it was his good teammate Jimmy Butler who pushed him, so they just let him continue to scold him. The harder he scolded, the happier they felt.

Jimmy Butler had no choice but to confess: "I pushed you just now."

Noah was stunned: "What? You...why?"

Jimmy Butler didn't want to explain and walked away alone. Before leaving, he glared at Xie Chen with a very resentful look. Although Xie Chen failed to break the ball, he was happy to see such an interesting thing happening between his opponents. Incredible.

"Jimmy Butler is such a good leader, he looks more and more like me, haha."

After that, Noah has been depressed. He had a good relationship with Rose, and he supported Rose as the boss, but he had no choice. Jimmy Butler was the general trend, and he could only support it. But Jimmy Butler treated him like this, which really made him feel uncomfortable. He was so uncomfortable that the coach saw that he was not defending and unwilling to attack on the court, so he was replaced not long after.

Xie Chen only completed one steal in the third quarter. Nine steals tied Chris Paul's record, and only the last quarter was left. No one was surprised that Xie Chen scored 30 points in one quarter, but It was too difficult to complete three steals, especially when the Bulls were so cautious.

"Hey, it seems there is no hope of breaking the record tonight. The Bulls were too cautious in passing the ball. Xie Chen only happened to steal it once in the entire third quarter. I think it is very rare for him to tie the record of 11 steals, let alone break it. This is recorded.”

"You are right. There is a reason why this record has been maintained for 40 years. Maybe sometimes you can break several times in a row, but you can't have such an opportunity in the whole game, especially in the most critical fourth quarter. "It's impossible for the Bulls to give you the opportunity to steal the ball continuously. Maybe Xie can find a weak opponent to break this record in the future."

No one was optimistic that Xie Chen could face the Bulls and break the 40-year unbeatable record, but Xie Chen didn't want to wait any longer, he was going to do it all tonight!

In fact, he has always had a brutal stealing method that didn't work, which is to use Malone's fighting ability to steal the ball! This will most likely result in a defensive foul, but there is nothing we can do now. We have to steal the ball even if there is a possibility of a foul!

As Rose was troubled by fouls, Aaron Brooks, who was less than 1.8 meters tall, became the point guard on the court. Although Brooks was short in stature, his playing style was very mature. After receiving the ball, he was calm and calm in his hands. ball.

Xie Chen came to Brooks and said: "I heard that you knelt down when I completed the crotch dunk. You must be very afraid of me, right?"

Xie Chen pretended to be terrifying.

Brooks laughed: "If you want to scare me like this and then take the ball away from me, you are too naive. I am shocked by your ability, but on the court, I am not afraid of anyone. I know you want to steal my ball, come on, the ball is right here, come and grab it!"

"Okay." Xie Chen responded and grabbed it with both hands. Brooks ducked back, completely unaware that Xie Chen would really grab it so hard.

Then, Xie Chen snatched the ball away from Brooks.

Everyone was stunned.

"This... this is more domineering than Leonard stealing the ball from Monta Ellis!"
