Super All-around Point Guard

On the Internet, fans also laughed like crazy.

"Hahaha, Xie Chen actually started eating popcorn as a spectator. I just want to know where he got his popcorn? There's no way the Lakers dugout still provides food, right?"

"My girlfriend didn't know that the NBA had already reached the playoffs. When she woke up just now, she insisted that I go to bed and hug her for a while. I said it was the playoffs now. It was very important. The Lakers still lost one game, so I continued to watch TV. Just now, my girlfriend got out of bed and glanced at the TV and saw Xie Chen leisurely eating popcorn. My girlfriend slapped me backhand on the spot, 'Eating popcorn in the playoffs? You really think I'm an idiot!' Now Unless I don’t love her anymore and want to break up with me, Xie Chen, I hate you!”

"The opponent is acting like a dog on the court, and Xie Chen is eating popcorn off the court. This is really the highest level of pretentiousness. I will just quietly eat popcorn and watch you desperately chasing points. I clock out in the third quarter and eat popcorn in the fourth quarter. Pretend, you are all rubbish, haha, Xie Chen is so handsome!"

"Upstairs, didn't you say before that Xie Chen would lose his fandom if he left the field for six more offenses?"

"Take off your uncle! I will thank Chen Fan for the rest of my life! Instigate the dog to get away with it!"

…

Staples Center.

At this moment, the scene and the Internet were full of joy, but this section was by no means easy for anyone, and it was the same for Xie Chen, who was quietly eating popcorn and showing off, because no one knew what the Thunder were like. Can the point difference be recovered?

Fortunately, now that the dust has settled, they can’t do it!

So, Xie Chen snatched Zach LaVine's popcorn and pretended to be a crowd to add to the drama. He had already committed six offenses and couldn't play. He had to do something if he couldn't play, right?

"Hey, bring the popcorn!" Ci Shiping, who was in the audience, saw that Xie Chen was eating popcorn and attracted everyone's attention. He immediately jumped in front of Karl Downs and snatched the popcorn from Downs' hand.

Ci Shiping is very happy to be able to show off with Xie Chen, haha!

However, at this moment, the referee suddenly attacked Xie Chen again and expelled Xie Chen from the field for eating popcorn!

"And you!" The referee looked at Ci Shiping and made the decision to expel him.

"Hahaha, I guessed it would be like this. I remember back then, Shifu Duncan just smiled at his opponent and was kicked out. Xie Chen actually dared to eat popcorn and mock his opponent. He was so ready to be kicked out. !”

Xie Chen didn't care. Anyway, the victory was decided. He defeated his opponent in three quarters, so he threw the remaining popcorn to the audience in the back row, which caused a burst of looting. Then he left the field gracefully. When he walked out of the tunnel, he followed the people on both sides. The audience clapped one by one, and the scene also burst into farewell applause again.

"I don't want to leave yet!" Ci Shiping, who was following behind, complained.

The final whistle sounded and the Thunder lost to the Los Angeles Lakers by 9 points. In the fourth quarter, Westbrook scored 17 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Oladipo and Adams also had outstanding performances, but they still Lost the ball.

Westbrook was already out of breath from exhaustion. Give him three more minutes, no, two minutes, and he would have the confidence to catch him back. Unfortunately, the time was up.

"Damn it!"

"It's so frustrating to lose!"

Both Westbrook and Oladipo became furious. They would rather Xie Chen beat them until the end of the fourth quarter than let Xie Chen watch so proudly from the court and eat popcorn!

During the media interview after the game, the reporter also asked: "At the end of the fourth quarter, with one minute left in the game, you ate popcorn in the Lakers dugout, and the referee ejected you because he thought you were on the court. Is this the case for being provoked by Thunder players?"

Naturally, Xie Chen would not admit such a thing, so he put the blame on Zach LaVine and said, "No, I didn't provoke my opponent. Zach LaVine saw me sitting in the audience for a whole quarter and thought I was boring. Just gave me a bucket of popcorn and I ate it.”

"Hahaha." The reporters laughed, believing that no one would believe this.

The reporter continued to ask: "You are going to the Thunder's home court to play the third game. Are you afraid that the Thunder coach will continue to use such tactics against you? Will you leave the game with six fouls in three consecutive games?"

Xie Chen said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what tactics they use, anyway, everyone has seen the results today."

The reporters laughed again and joked, "I think the next Thunder home game will prohibit anyone from bringing popcorn into the stadium."

…

There are only two games today. In addition to the Lakers and Thunder, there are also Celtics and Hawks. Howard was ejected in the last game and the Celtics narrowly won. This one is still very fierce. In the end, the Hawks defeated the Celtics in the away game. man, tying the series at one to one.

The next day, the Cavaliers played against the Bucks, the Warriors played against the Jazz, and the Hornets played against the Knicks. Xie Chen also watched the second game of the Warriors and Jazz series with Zach LaVine, Hassan and others. The Warriors are still unstoppable, and the Jazz have no power to parry. Especially Durant, who is too stable. His shooting percentage in the regular season has been the highest in his career. In the playoffs, his shooting percentage in these two games is still incredible.

This made Hassan couldn't help but worry about Xie Chen's Lakers, and asked Xie Chen: "Brothers, seeing such warriors, I am really worried about you. Do you have any way to guard Kevin Durant? I It means taking care of both Stephen Curry and Klay at the same time."

Xie Chen did not answer. He knew that it would be difficult for the Lakers to face the Warriors for seven consecutive games. They would have to use all their hidden abilities, including the SS+ Michael Jordan layup ability.

The Warriors lead the Jazz 2:0, and the Cavaliers also lead the Bucks 2:0. It seems that these two teams are more like the first in the West and the first in the East.

The series between the Knicks and the Hornets ended in a one-to-one draw.

On another day, the Clippers also ushered in their second series game. They faced the Grizzlies at home and won again, leading their opponents 2:0.

The Spurs, who lost to the Rockets at home in the last game, defeated their opponents in this game. James Harden was no longer magical. The Spurs and Rockets series tied at 1:1.

In addition, the Eastern Raptors are very strong. In the playoffs last season, as the first place in the Eastern Conference, they were swept out by Xie Chen's Knicks in only the fourth game. They vented their hatred on the Bulls. Winning the first two games, leading the Bulls 2:0.

At this time, the entire Lakers team also came to Oklahoma City. Along with the team were the Timberwolves' third youngster and Hassan Whiteside, several popcorn-eating spectators. Pat had been watching the previous two games. Riley, instead of coming, stayed in Los Angeles.

It's the game day between the Lakers and the Thunder. The Timberwolves' third youngster and Da Baibian entered the court early and sat down in the VIP seats.

The four of them are all very well-known. Many fans took pictures and greeted them at the scene. However, some fans did not welcome them here because the four of them had previously stood for Xie Chen at the Lakers' home court. Dabai and Xie Chen With such a good relationship with Chen, he must have come to support Xie Chen's Lakers, and Zach LaVine and others may also have come here for Xie Chen.

"Why are the four of them here too? They are not Russell's brothers!"

"I just want to say, can they please stop eating popcorn? I get mad when I see that!"

The four of them ignored the other spectators and started chatting after sitting down.

Karl Towns said: "I heard that when the Thunder left Los Angeles two days ago, Westbrook was angry with the coach on the plane. He also said that he should stop using those damn foul tactics. I want to have an upright fight with Xie Tangs Something like that.”

"Haha, if I were him, I would be very angry. The Thunder dug a hole too deep in the first three quarters of the last game. There was no need for them to gamble like this. In order to get Xie off the field, they fell behind by nearly 30 points. It was too much. I guess they won't do it again this time." Dabai said.

"If we do this again and let Shay eat popcorn in the fourth quarter, Donovan will be kicked out by the fans." Wiggins said.

"But it cannot be denied that his plan did work in the first game. Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that we would not lose two games in a row, wouldn't it?" Zach LaVine also expressed his opinion.

Soon, players from both sides came out. The Thunder players were booed when the Lakers played at home, and the Lakers players were the same at the Thunder's home court. Even Xie Chen, who was much loved when he came last time, could not escape.

After all, they are opponents in the playoffs. No matter how much everyone likes Xie Chen, they definitely want the Thunder to win. Moreover, Xie Chen's behavior of eating popcorn off the court in the last game angered many people.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn. Thunder fans are very fanatical. It is not easy to win at the Thunder's home court. The Spurs experienced this last season. Fortunately, now the Thunder only have Westbrook and no Durant. No matter how strong the momentum is, The strength of the team is there.

For Xie Chen, he has to prepare for two games in this game. He will definitely face the legendary Thunder team later, and there is a high probability that it will be the legendary Thunder team with Durant. Therefore, for Xie Chen, Durant is simply Without leaving the Thunder, if the Lakers win the Thunder in the end, some people will definitely say that it is because Xie Chen has not met the Thunder with Durant. If Adu is still doing something, they will not know the truth.

After the opening, as everyone expected, the Thunder did not make stupid gambles to cause Xie Chen's fouls. They finally came up with their Thunder-style offense. Maybe they haven't played so happily for a long time. From the beginning, the Thunder scored consecutively and attacked. Very smooth.

Similarly, Xie Chen had no foul trouble and played like he did in the regular season, maintaining the score.

"This is the rhythm of the game between the Thunder and the Lakers! What did the first two games look like!" The audience was also very happy to watch.

In this game, Xie Chen also started to defend Westbrook alone. In addition to winning this series, he also had another purpose: to defeat Westbrook!

On the offensive end, Xie Chen can't decide whether Westbrook should guard against Xie Chen, but on the defensive end, Xie Chen will take the initiative to find "trouble" with Westbrook.

When Westbrook faced Xie Chen's defense, he did not deliberately commit a foul. Of course, there was an opportunity to commit a foul on Xie Chen, and he would never let it go. He just didn't want to make fouling his first priority like he did in the first two games.

Early this morning, the league announced that Xie Chen was the best defensive player of the season. Xie Chen has also been the league's best defensive player for two consecutive years.

In the official voting results, Xie Chen scored 547 points, including 84 first-place votes. The second place was Leonard of the Spurs, and the third place was Dream Chaser Green of the Warriors. .

Xie Chen also became the second non-center player to win this award after Rodman (1990 and 1991). It is worth mentioning that even superstars with outstanding defense like Michael Jordan and Gary Payton, He has never won the Defensive Player of the Year award two consecutive years.

At the same time, the league also announced that Luke Walton became the best head coach this season. The rookie coach won the best head coach and also led the team to break the best regular season record. What else can anyone say... countless coaches I sighed, why didn't they meet players like Xie Chen when they were coaching as rookies?

Xie Chen, who won the best defensive player, was very excited and felt very motivated. He was even more energetic in defending Westbrook. As long as Westbrook was negligent on the court, Xie Chen would immediately steal the ball, even if he did not complete the steal in the end. , most of them can also hit the ball out of bounds, which makes Westbrook always flustered.

"You guard me so hard, aren't you afraid of another six offenses?" Westbrook is confident that if Xie Chen dared to guard him from beginning to end in the last game, instead of guarding Oladipo, Westbrook would be able to defeat Xie Chen in two quarters. After six fouls, even if they are still 28 points behind, the remaining two quarters will still be enough for the Thunder to chase points.

Compared to Westbrook, Oladipo is still not lethal enough.

Xie Chen asked back: "Aren't you afraid that I will eat popcorn while you are sitting there?"

Westbrook thought of Xie Chen's leisurely contentment in the last game, and suddenly became angry. In anger, he hit Xie Chen hard, which actually caused Xie Chen's foul. This was also Xie Chen's first foul in this game.

"It's my first foul after playing for so long. It should be fine. Westbrook doesn't seem like he will keep fouling him." Hassan said calmly.

Wiggins said: "The focus today is definitely no longer on the number of fouls, but whether Westbrook can compete with Xie. They are both triple-double madmen, and they can be crazy from beginning to end. They should have played like this long ago."

The personal data of Xie Chen and Westbrook in the first two quarters were evenly matched. Except for steals and blocks, Xie Chen was obviously better than Westbrook. Their scores, assists, and rebounds were similar. Xie Chen obviously had not exerted his full strength because he had to first Take out a more important opponent.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Xie Chen scored over 30 points, officially starting the Legend Challenge.

The most terrifying player the Thunder have ever produced is Kevin Durant. As long as there is no Durant, this challenge game will be easy to play.

After the scene changed, Xie Chen looked across and saw that it was indeed a difficult challenge. He saw the slender Durant and Ibaka at a glance.

This is last season's Thunder!
