Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen averaged 48.1 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, and 2.5 steals per game, becoming the season's scoring leader, rebounding leader, assist leader, and steal leader.

In addition, Xie Chen’s blocks per game are also ranked in the top three behind Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans and Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz. He is also the only non-post player in the top ten.

Such data really shocked everyone.

"Xie Chen's scoring average is second only to Chamberlain's 50 points per game! And Chamberlain's scoring championship happened in 1962. In today's NBA, he can average 48.1 points per game, which is incredible! Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant Bryant was even compared to him!"

"Since Big O, Xie Chen and Westbrook have also accomplished the feat of averaging a triple-double per game, but Westbrook's scoring is much worse than Xie Chen's, and the team's record is not at the same level."

"No more words, we can only worship, this is what God can do!"

While people are marveling at Xie Chen's incredible personal data, the rankings of the East and West have also been settled.

With 75 wins and 7 losses, the Lakers deserve to be first in the Western Conference. The second to eighth places are: Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Lakers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Thunder led by Westbrook!

The first to eighth spots in the Eastern Conference are: Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks.

…

TN.T, at the end of the regular season, several celebrities naturally want to summarize the performance of each team in the regular season and make predictions for the playoffs.

The host said: "The regular season is over. I don't think anyone expected that the Lakers could break the Warriors' record of 73 wins last season and increase it to 75 games. Xie's personal data is even more surprising, averaging 48.1 points per game. 14 12 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and at the same time won the scoring, rebounding, assists and steals titles. Is this what we expected at the beginning of the season?"

Kenny Smith said: "Actually, this is very similar to what we expected at the time. We expected that Xie who supported a team by himself would be very crazy. He would average a triple-double per game. We expected this, but we did not expect his The triple-double statistics are so amazing, all ranked first in the league, and he also made the Lakers the first in the Western Conference. This is terrible."

Charles Barkley said: "Actually, if you think about what Xie has done this season, you won't be surprised. In order to win a game, he would force himself to score 80 or even 100 points in a game where he would only score 50 points. , scoring 80 points in a game is like chopping up melons and vegetables for him, and I am very worried about whether he has exhausted himself in the regular season."

O'Neal also said: "You are overthinking, Charles. I don't think there is anything wrong with his body. In fact, he used many methods in the regular season to make winning easy, such as threatening opponents. No one wants to be in the background, so They had to obediently let Xie win. In addition, he announced his retirement after winning the championship at the end of the regular season, which also allowed him to easily win many games. If Drummond hadn't been ejected in the game against the Heat, the rebound The King may not be his, but as for other things, that is indeed his strength. Not only the scoring champion, he will also win the best defensive player and MVP, and he also made 500 three-pointers, no ?"

"It still sounds incredible." The host sighed, and then said, "Now the lineup for the first round of the playoffs has come out. The Cavaliers will face the Bucks, and the Warriors will face the Jazz. I think there should be no suspense. What do you think of the series between the Lakers and Thunder? Although the Lakers are a record-breaking team, people don’t seem to have the same confidence in them as they did with the Warriors last year.”

Charles Barkley said: "I must say that in the playoffs, the Lakers will never be as dominant as they were in the regular season. Even if they win, every time they win, it will be very difficult because of the regular season and The playoffs are a completely different game. For a single-core team like the Lakers, the opponent will definitely strangle Xie at this point, preventing Xie from scoring or affecting the game. But similarly, except for Westbrook, the Thunder In addition, there is no second superstar, so I think the Lakers have a greater chance of winning. After all, they are first in the Western Conference and have more confidence. But in the second round of the series, whether they encounter the Spurs or the Rockets, I None of them are very promising.”

O'Neal also became serious: "Me too. To solve the Thunder is what Xie must do. They all have only one superstar, and Xie is obviously a star of a higher level than Russell Westbrook. I predict that this series will It's very intense and very nice to watch, but in the end the Lakers will advance, and then they'll meet the San Antonio Spurs, and then Xie will get burned, and that's it."

"Can't you even advance to the Western Conference Finals?" The host also wanted to ask about the possibility and chance of winning between the Lakers and the Warriors, but no one was optimistic that the Lakers could advance to the Western Conference Finals.

"Yes, the Lakers are a team that obviously relies on one person. I don't think Popovich will be able to deal with them. The Big Three in Miami were all subdued by Popovich. You can say that the Heat beat the Spurs once. , but if it weren’t for Ray Allen’s three-pointer, the outcome would have been decided long ago. Of course, if they met the Houston Rockets in the second round, we can still look forward to it. After all, the Rockets are a more impressive team. Don’t dare to look forward to it,” said Charles Barkley.

"So your prediction is that the Warriors or Cavaliers or Spurs will win the championship, and then Xie will play another season?" the host asked.

"Yes, Xie will play for another season. I think the league and the fans hope that he will continue to play. He is too young and there is no need to retire so early. I think he can get all the honors this season, except for the general manager." Championship,” Kenny Smith concluded.

…

Oklahoma City, Thunder training facility, the Thunder still struggled to retain a spot in the playoffs. This season is not easy for them. The departure of Kevin Durant has made everyone no longer have hope for the Thunder to win the championship. , they all know that they are still far away from the top teams, but in the playoffs, they must have confidence. Now they are not thinking about the championship, but thinking about the next opponent and the first game. thing.

Coach Donovan gathered all the players together, and it could be seen that guys like Westbrook, Oladipo, and Adams looked serious, and they all knew what they would face next.

Donovan also said with a serious face: "I think everyone knows that we have to prepare for the playoffs next, and our opponent in the first round is a team that has won 75 games. I want to ask you, Are you scared?"

There was a brief silence at the scene, and then Westbrook made an indifferent gesture and was the first to speak: "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how strong we are, aren't we still five people?"

Oladipo, who had just finished his suspension, said disdainfully: "No opponent can scare us, not even the Lakers."

Donovan nodded and said: "First of all, we must admit that the Lakers are very strong. Their 75 wins are not just due to luck, but we don't need to be afraid of them at all, because the reason for dealing with the strong ones is very simple, Chris Xie, so as long as we deal with Xie well, we can win this series."

At this time, Kanter said with some pessimism: "We all know this, and the Warriors and Cavaliers also knew it in the past, but they still failed to prevent Xie from winning the championship. Do you have any way to restrict him?"

"To be honest, when he was on the court, I didn't have any good ideas." Donovan replied. This answer made everyone a little disappointed, but Donovan's voice suddenly changed and said: "But, if we put If he gets off the field, the game will be ours!"

"Get him off the field? How to do it?" Oladipo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Donovan patted Oladipo on the shoulder, and then faced the crowd and said: "The Lakers are Xie's team, so we only need to do one thing in this series, and that is to try to make Xie make mistakes in every game." Man left the game, causing him to be troubled by fouls in every game. If the Lakers want to win, they absolutely need to rely on Xie's personal offense. Under his crazy offense, he will average a lot of personal fouls per game. We need to If you want him to reach the level of six fouls, you need to intentionally cause Xie to foul."

"Russell, Xie will not guard you all the time, but once he defends you, you have to hit him resolutely. You are the player who can cause him the most damage. Oladipo, Xie will guard you most of the time. , so you are the key figure in this plan, and coupled with the grievances between you and Xie, you must try your best to make him keep fouling you. And you, no matter who encounters Xie, as long as he is away from the basket The basket is not very far, so you just hit me resolutely, use your height advantage or other methods to trick him into fouling. No matter what method you use, in short, get him off the court! I don't want to see that guy at the last moment of the game. !”

When he said the last sentence, Coach Donovan almost went crazy! Ever since he decided to play the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, he had been thinking about how to restrict Xie, but the Cavaliers and Warriors had already used the methods he could think of, and the effect was still not reliable enough, so he thought With such a once-and-for-all solution, he could get rid of Xie Chen directly, and he would not worry about Xie Chen causing trouble to him.

Speaking of which, he really had to thank the grudge between Oladipo and Xie Chen for giving him inspiration. Moreover, with such an enemy in the team, Xie Chen would definitely be very impatient. This would prompt him to It would be easier to commit a foul.

Oladipo didn't expect that his task would be so heavy. He had already been beaten twice by Xie Chen, and he didn't dare to fight with Xie Chen again. But if he just made Xie Chen angry by talking trash, he would make Xie Chen foul on him. Oladipo can still do it.

Oladipo patted his chest and promised: "I guarantee to cause him at least four fouls in every game! Russell, I know you and Xie have a good relationship in private, but since you want to take him off the court, you and him on the court You have to become hostile, and I think it’s better for you to trash talk him like me. Once you piss him off, it will be easier to make him foul.”

Westbrook knew that this was indeed a feasible method, so he chuckled and said: "I always disown my relatives on the court, so you don't have to worry about me letting loose."

…

The Lakers are naturally discussing how to deal with the Thunder. However, compared to the tension of the Thunder, the Lakers players are relatively relaxed. This is also the confidence built up through regular season games. They are sure to win in six games. Solve the battle within.

As a rookie coach, Luke Walton also attaches great importance to his first playoff series, but with Xie Chen's super trump card, he obviously does not need to worry too much.

"Thank you, I know you have been hiding your layup ability for so long, and you must have wanted the whole world to see it. But in this series against the Thunder, I don't think you need to expose it yet." Lukwo Dun chatted with Xie Chen about Thunder. He thought that beating Thunder didn't require Xie Chen to use all his abilities.

Xie Chen also nodded: "I am confident that we will defeat them in six games, or even five. However, I have always had a regret against Westbrook."

"What regret?" Luke Walton asked curiously.

"Since I entered the league, I have defeated many people in the game. What I mean is that I have broken down their strong willpower little by little until they collapsed. In the duel with Russell, although I always had the upper hand, I never completely After defeating him, this may be our only playoff matchup. I want to take this opportunity to beat him completely. Therefore, I want to defeat them personally and leave the task of defending him to me. "Xie Chen said calmly.

Luke Walton didn't expect Xie Chen to be so strong. Taking the lead in the number of games was not enough. He had to completely defeat the opponent's will and convince the opponent. Speaking of which, to achieve this goal, the playoffs It is indeed the most suitable stage, because in the playoffs, every player will be very focused and will be particularly concerned about winning or losing the game. In this kind of emotion, the heart of gain and loss will become very heavy. Once you lose or get abused, you will also be hurt. heavier.

Luke Walton agreed to Xie Chen's request and said: "Okay, after all, Russell is not a player like James Harden who pursues fouls, but you should be careful."

Xie Chen smiled and said: "I guarantee that when he asked me to commit the full number of fouls, his fighting spirit was also defeated by me."

The Thunder, like the Lakers, are both single-core teams. Xie Chen only needs to defeat their leading star, and he can easily deal with the remaining minnows.

Three days later, the Lakers played their first home game against the Thunder at Staples Center.

In the Tencent live broadcast room, Ke Fan explained excitedly: "The playoffs officially started today. There are four games in total today. The game between the Lakers and the Thunder will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention. Many celebrities are also present at Staples. People like Nelson, Leonardo, rapper Snoopdogg, and... Huh? Karl Towns is here too? Zach LaVine and Wiggins are also here?"
