Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen knows that the Spurs are not an ordinary team, and they are not an opponent that can be won by playing as they please like the Thunder, so he is very cautious in his playing style, playing reasonable basketball from the beginning, and patiently organizing the offense like the Spurs. After searching for the most suitable spot, after a few minutes, there are really a few balls that coordinate so well that people can't help but admire them.

Popovich smiled. Compared with the influence of the superstars in the team, the Spurs cannot compare with other teams with superstars, because Popovich will not let his players score too many points or have too impressive statistics, but compared with With teamwork, passing, and smooth offensive coordination, Popovich doesn't think he will lose to Luke Walton and these young guys.

Popovich said to Ginobili, who was sitting off the court, "Go on the court and tell them what team basketball is."

The bald Ginobili tightened his shorts and came on the court. This demon's passing ability is extraordinary. He is full of fake moves, and his foul-drawing skills are also at an advanced level.

Since Xie Chen plays reasonable team basketball, Popovich will compete with the Lakers in team basketball, and then force Xie Chen to play personal heroism.

Ginobili sent a second pass as soon as he came up. The ball was first transferred to Aldridge in the low post on the right side. Aldridge took the ball but did not move. Ginobili suddenly walked towards the basket from a 45-degree angle from the left without the ball. , Aldridge passed the ball to him, and Ginobili received the ball close to the basket. Without any luck, he directly passed the ball from behind to Gasol under the basket. He just aimed with his eyes. After looking at Gasol's defender, he made the decision to pass the ball instantly, and the latter dunked successfully with one hand.

"It's so crisp and clean. Ginobili passes the ball really fast. When people pass the ball like this, they have to look at their teammates and then make a move to pass the ball. But Ginobili glances at his teammates' defenders. , get the ball and throw it directly to the back of the head, and the cooperation is completed." Yang Yi also admires Ginobili's style of play very much.

Xie Chen is a person who will try his best to retaliate when he sees others showing a better side than him. His current all-around ability can already deal with anyone, whether it is a dunk, a three-pointer or a defense. , he has a way to deal with it, and what Ginobili shows is not ability, but brain. This is a style, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Although Xie Chen's personal statistics this season are so incredible, he is the leading scorer and assists leader, but in fact, under the guidance of Luke Walton, the Lakers have been doing what the Warriors do like sharing the ball. They work as a team. It's also very good, definitely not at the level of the Toronto Raptors.

The Lakers quickly returned one. Xie Chen slipped around from the left side and came out to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, he immediately took off. The Spurs quickly chased and blocked the shot. After Xie Chen took off, he passed the ball to Randall under the basket. Randall It looked like he was going to attack, but an inside pass immediately passed to Mozgov, and Mozgov succeeded easily.

The Lakers' response also stimulated the Spurs. Soon, the Spurs responded again. Ginobili took the ball from outside the three-point line and passed it to Mills on the left. After receiving the ball, Mills quickly passed it to the basket. Aldridge, Aldridge immediately attracted double-teams as soon as he got close to the basket, and quickly distributed the ball to the left corner, who hit a three-pointer.

"The way they played with each other, once they started passing the ball, the ball didn't hit the ground at all, it was all flying around in the air," Ke Fan said.

"Yes, you can say that they made the shot, or you can say that they passed the ball in. This is the Spurs. If they cooperate as a team, the Lakers will not only be unable to reach the level of the Spurs, but their defensive awareness is also not as good as the Spurs, and it has weakened. Xie Chen’s ability." Yang Yi said.

When Xie Chen gradually passes the ball out, sometimes he will play exquisite cooperation, and teammates will continue to pass the ball to score. Sometimes teammates can score directly, but there are also many times when they are blocked by the Spurs or their teammates are not open. middle.

The Spurs remain efficient.

In order to prevent the Spurs from widening the point difference, Xie Chen had to choose to score by himself.

After using Ginobili's left-hand layup ability to score a strong score, Popovich noticed the change in Xie Chen's playing style and secretly said: "Want to play by yourself again? Then I will force you to pass the ball."

Popovich seemed to intend to influence Xie Chen's playing style and prevent him from playing smoothly on the court.

When Xie Chen saw that his teammates had better chances, he passed the ball again. Most of his teammates created free throws and two-point opportunities. However, due to the average free throw shooting rate and no three-pointers, the Lakers' scoring increased slowly.

"After so many good opportunities, we are only one point ahead of the Spurs." Xie Chen was not very satisfied with the result.

Popovich wants Xie Chen to hesitate whether to play or pass every time he attacks. After two or three games, Xie Chen's difficult choice disorder will become more serious. Such hesitation will make Xie Chen's offense worse. The efficiency is greatly reduced. Once a choice is made at a critical moment, and this choice happens to miss, Xie Chen will blame himself in his heart. For example, if he misses in singles, he will feel that he should pass it to his teammates. If If you give it to your teammates and fail to score, you will be upset that you should have played by yourself just now.

But today is the first game of the series, and Xie Chen has just won the MVP. Popovich knows that Xie Chen will not be in a bad mood today. If his idea is to be effective, it will take two or three games. OK.

At the end of the half, Xie Chen did not have a very impressive personal performance, but focused more on teamwork. However, due to the Spurs' better defense, the Lakers were still lagging behind at halftime.

Before Xie Chen went back to the locker room at halftime, the on-site reporter came over to interview Xie Chen and asked: "Your personal scores and assists were not many in the first half. We all know your importance to the team. When will you turn on MVP mode?"

Xie Chen said: "I can't tell you this, but I can tell you another thing. I will use my hiding ability in the second half!"

"What? You said you were going to use the new ability you had hidden for a long time!" The reporter just asked Xie Chen to summarize his performance in the first half, but he didn't expect to get such a valuable answer!

The audience was immediately shocked, and even the Spurs team, who were about to walk back to the locker room, stopped in their tracks.

"What did Xie just say? Is he going to use his hidden ability in the second half?" Tony Parker asked Aldridge.

Aldridge looked in the direction of Xie Chen and said, "I didn't hear clearly either. It seemed like this."

Popovich also looked here, but he had a smile on his face. He didn't think Xie Chen would reveal the secret weapon in such a big way in advance.

"Yes, I have hidden my ability for three years and I will use it in the second half. The Spurs are a strong opponent. We cannot afford to lose every game. We suffered a lot in the first half. If I don't show it, I'm afraid this victory will be taken away by them." Xie Chen pretended to be helpless and humbly fed the Spurs poisonous milk.

The superstar spectators on the sidelines were all excited.

"Haha, Xie is finally showing off his hidden ability!" Hassan was excited.

"As expected, he still has the ability to hide! In the series with us, he has been hiding. We lost to him 1:4. We are indeed not qualified to force him to show it, but we only played the first game against the Spurs. , isn’t it too early for Xie to appear before halftime?" Westbrook was also very excited, but instead of being excited, he felt a little embarrassed, because in the last round of the series, they had no ability to force Xie Chen’s hidden ability comes out.

James Harden, who lost to the Spurs, nodded: "Xie's approach is very correct. The Spurs are too strong. Even our Rockets can easily defeat us. Xie should show 100% of his strength from the first game."

As soon as this statement came out, fans all over the world were excited.

"Hahaha, GoSpurs fans, if you keep yelling, I will show off my hidden ability, and the Spurs will be beaten in the second half!"

"I knew Xie Chen still had a hidden ultimate move, but I thought he would wait until he played against the Warriors before using it. I didn't expect that he would be forced to use it against the Spurs. Xie Chen is too cowardly. He hasn't lost a game yet. Let's fight first and see. Well, maybe we can win?”

The game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers is tomorrow, so at this time, Curry of the Warriors and James of the Cavaliers are also paying attention to this game. They were all shocked when they heard Xie Chen's words.

"Xie wants to show off his hidden ability in advance! This guy really has a big move. He was able to resist using it in last year's finals. I wonder if the situation will change in the second half." Stephen Curry thinks Xie Chen is very good. It's scary, unfathomable, and at the same time, I'm relieved. If the Spurs can force out all of Xie Chen's abilities, then even if the Lakers beat the Spurs, the Warriors will know how to deal with it, fearing that Xie Chen will suddenly attack.

James looked in disbelief: "There is no reason for Xie to announce this in front of his opponents. It is estimated that even if Xie has hidden abilities, he will not use them in the second half. He is just scaring the Spurs players. It's a pity that Popovich You won’t be fooled so easily.”

At the Staples Center, Popovich ordered the Spurs players who stopped at the same time: "Put away your shocked expressions and go back. Thank you for playing tricks on you."

Jonathan Simmons originally looked surprised, but when he heard the coach's words, he suddenly cursed, "Damn it, you dared to scare us!"

Others thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong.

Back in the locker room, Xie Chen was also besieged by his teammates.

Nick Yang, Ci Shiping, Clarkson and others surrounded Xie Chen, insisting on asking for the result.

"Boss, what is the ability that you have hidden for so long? Tell us in advance."

"You must wait until I play with you before using it. When your new ability shocks the audience, I will celebrate with you! Tell me what your new weapon is, and I will think of one. A more appropriate celebration."

Nick Young also wanted to take this opportunity to show off with Xie Chen on the court.

Since Xie Chen came up on the spur of the moment and didn't say hello to the coach in advance, Luke Walton thought that Xie Chen was going to use his hidden Michael Jordan layup ability, so he walked over and asked: "Use it now, yes?" Isn’t it a bit early?”

Hearing what the coach said, the players became even more convinced that Xie Chen had hidden abilities.

"It turns out that coach has known what Xie Chen's hidden ability is for a long time. Coach, if Xie doesn't tell us, tell us." Nick Young couldn't wait to know what Xie Chen was going to play in the second half.

Xie Chen quickly said: "I am going to use a new offensive weapon in the second half that I have never used before. The coach doesn't know what it is. I will find an opportunity to use it in the second half. Believe me, we will definitely win this game. You guys Have confidence."

What Xie Chen wants to use is Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence. After the fusion is 100%, Xie Chen has not used it on the court. This skill is not very useful to him, but it is still a new S-level ability.

The Spurs are in good shape today and are difficult to deal with, so Xie Chen came up with this trick to scare the opponent first, and at the same time, it can also increase the confidence of his teammates in this game.

In the Spurs locker room, the topic is still surrounding Xie Chen's new abilities.

"Thanks to this guy for actually scaring us, saying that he would use some hidden new abilities in the second half. He really thinks of himself as a god. Can he have whatever abilities he wants?" Simmons complained with an unhappy look on his face. Just now Bobo Wei Wei said Xie Chen was lying to them, and he believed it.

Ginobili said: "Xie has always liked to make big words before doing anything. This was the case with the All-Stars in the past, but all the big words he said have been fulfilled one by one. I don't think he is simply bluffing us. Maybe he really has some new tricks, so we’d better be careful.”

"That's right, with Xie's status in the league, I don't believe he will talk empty words." Tony Parker also said.

Listening to the team members talking about Xie Chen non-stop, Popovich touched his forehead helplessly, feeling melancholy in his heart: "Xie, this guy is so powerful. He can make our team members restless with just one sentence. I believe in him." Our teammates will also be more motivated. Even if we hit an offensive climax at the beginning of the third quarter and lead by more than ten points, they will feel that Xie will use new abilities to bring them back. It seems that we will not be able to defeat them in the second half. Confidence gained.”

The second half started quickly. The focus of the audience was on Xie Chen. Curry and James, who were not present, were also staring at the screen unblinkingly. No one knew when Xie Chen would use his hidden ability. None of them wanted to Miss that shocking moment!

"Since you all think that kid has a secret weapon, go ahead and increase the score and force him to show it!" Popovich encouraged the players.

But how could Xie Chen allow the Spurs to expand the score? Nowitzki's golden rooster independence is only a two-point ability. It is too difficult to rely on this to chase points, so Xie Chen used other abilities to maintain the score first.

"When will Xie Chen use his new abilities?" Ke Fan expressed the voice of fans around the world.
