Super all-around point guard

Chapter 132 The Unbearable Triangle Offense

After arriving in New York and getting off the plane, Xie Chen returned home to reunite with his parents as soon as possible. While Xie Chen’s parents were proud of their son, they could not help reminding Xie Chen not to be too careless. They probably referred to the two women, Katie and Scarlett. As for a beautiful host who presented flowers to his son, a famous Hollywood movie star, the two old people also had their own supporters. Xie Chen’s mother liked Katie more, while his father was on Scarlett’s side. fans...

The heat lost to the Clippers in the last game, and the news that Xie Chen was defeated by Paul, the two old people also heard about it, but they didn't feel sad or angry like Xie Chen's fans, and they didn't offer words of comfort and encouragement.

Poor parents all over the world, maybe in their hearts, they don't expect Xie Chen to become such a great superstar, they only hope that Xie Chen can complete his career in good health.

Injury is indeed a terrible thing for a professional athlete. For example, Anthony’s back injury before, as an ordinary person, it is uncomfortable to watch games even sitting on the sofa, and you have to stand up and move around from time to time. Now Anthony’s knee injury has not fully recovered.

Xie Chen knows how horrific injuries and serious consequences injuries can have on professional athletes, so on the field, if he doesn't use his skills, he has always been very careful.

In the evening, his parents also followed Xie Chen to Madison Square Garden. This is not the first time Xie Chen has come to this arena. He is a New Yorker. His parents brought him here to watch football when he was a child. He did not expect to spend many good years with him. Now that he comes again, he has become the owner of the court and a guest in the arena.

It is worth mentioning that the president of the Knicks team, the legendary coach Phil Jackson, also appeared on the scene, and took the initiative to go to Xie Chen's family to say hello.

"Hello, Chris Xie." Phil Jackson, who was ten centimeters taller than Xie Chen, extended his right hand to Xie Chen with a smile on his face, and then greeted Xie Chen's parents.

Phil Jackson is undoubtedly the greatest coach in NBA history. He has led the team to championships 11 times. He has led the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers to three consecutive championships. It is difficult for you to tell who has made him and Jordan Kobe, but there is no doubt that both should thank each other.

Xie Chen expressed great admiration for the legendary coach. Although his team's president Pat Riley didn't appreciate him very much, Xie Chen half-jokingly said: "It's nice to meet you, President Jackson. You brought the triangle offense to New York, but it seems that your players don't know how to use it. I guess your team needs a capable and savvy player like me."

"Hahaha." Phil Jackson laughed loudly: "Yes, I like your confidence, and I also like your teasing. Our players do need to improve in terms of tactical execution. I have to take full responsibility for this wave of losing streak, but this does not mean that we will not beat you tonight. Don't forget, our team also has superstars."

Xie Chen glanced at Carmelo Anthony, who was practicing shooting, and replied to Phil Jackson: "I will show you the definition of a superstar again in front of you."

"Can't wait to see." Phil Jackson laughed.

Phil never expected that Xie Chen was as sharp-spoken as Jordan, and he revealed his pain points as soon as he talked. Indeed, the current record of the Knicks gave Phil Jackson a headache. Barkley even bluntly said that it was wrong to let the Knicks and other players use Phil Jackson's triangle offense. The reason is simple. They will not learn the triangle offense because they will leave next year. On top of that, the Knicks don't have good players.

The match finally started. Xie Chen was aggrieved in the last match, and he vowed to prove himself in this match!With the first goal in the opening game, Xie Chen broke through the Knicks' heavy defense, went straight to the basket, and made a layup.

Xie Chen caught the Knicks by surprise with the first ball. The Knicks coach and Kobe's former teammate Fisher shook his head. The Knicks players didn't seem to realize that the game had already started, but they allowed Xie Chen to score so easily. This made Fisher very disappointed with his team's defense. Now that the team is losing streak, the fans are calling for Fisher to dismiss get out of class. Fisher is overwhelmed. He has not spoken to his wife for a long time.

It's the Knicks' turn to attack. Zen Master's triangle offense was once a unique weapon. Let's see if the Knicks can use it well.

After halftime, the ball was handed over to point guard Calderon. Calderon stopped for a moment and passed it to Hardaway on the left. Hardaway paused and then passed it to Stoudemire.

In the 22-second attack this time, the real meaning may be less than five seconds. Everyone has to pause when the ball is in their hands. Everyone has to think about life first, and then make a meaningless move. Then pass the ball to the next person to do the next meaningless move, and repeat and repeat...

"Hahaha... What an interesting triangle attack!" Xie Chen laughed, seeing if the ball was there or not, he quickly made a quick pass. After Luol Deng grabbed the rebound, he passed a long pass. The 191cm Calderon chased him. Xie Chen simply ignored his existence, forced a layup, scored the ball, and caused a foul by Calderon's thugs!
"My son is great!" Xie Chen's parents clapped their hands happily on the sidelines, but this is the Knicks' home game. If it was the Heat's home game, then they would be able to cheer for Xie Chen unscrupulously.

What a great feeling to score a goal in front of your own family!
The Knicks are very unconvinced, this is Madison Square Garden!It's their territory, how can an outsider shine here?beat!The Knicks are going to attack!Isn't it going to be a triangle offense?Then find a triangle!Then, they actually found the triangle...

After halftime, the ball was given to Hardaway. He found himself on the left side and could not form a triangle, so he passed the ball to Calderon on the right side. Calderon found that the team leader came out to ask for the ball, so he passed the ball to Anthony. Anthony found that he had formed a triangle with Early and Calderon at this time, okay!He seemed to pass the ball back to Calderon after a glance, and Calderon passed the ball to the left, and then ran to the same direction to form a triangle with his teammates. Hardaway was depressed after getting the ball. He found that he formed a triangle with Stoudemire and Calderon, and also formed a triangle with Anthony Early!What can I do?
After hesitating for about a second, it was passed to Calderon in the bottom corner, who made a three-pointer.

The Knicks made Xie Chen dizzy with this shot. Didn't Calderon run to the left to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer? What happened to looking for the triangle so many times before?

Calderon gave Xie Chen a blank look, as if telling him, don't ask me, I don't know either!
Here Calderon didn't score, Xie Chen shot a three-pointer against Calderon after halftime, hit the three-pointer, scored 8 points in a row, and directly beat the Knicks 8:0!

Those who said that Xie Chen still couldn't get 20+ this time, all hid.

The fans in New York fell into helplessness and despair at the beginning of the game. Is there still no miracle?Is the Knicks really so bad that they can be defeated by Xie Chen alone?Is the triangle offense really not suitable for the Knicks?

There are two important factors in the triangle offense, one is the starting point of the offense, and the other is the selection of the pass. In the triangle offense, it usually starts with a 1-2-2 or 3-2 position, and the inside line of the two waists starts to receive the ball to initiate the attack.

In other words, even if it is not an insider attack, there are high requirements for the insider support ability. In the Knicks' current offense, not to mention the insider support ability, the participation is far from enough. Sometimes the insider is just a display.

The Knicks’ pass selection is also a problem. A good offense often requires the transfer of strong and weak side balls, so as to mobilize the opponent’s defensive formation. In the Knicks’ offense, active strong and weak side transfers are rarely seen. They either do not pass the ball, kill on one side, or are forced to transfer.It is not difficult to explain the team with the worst record in the league.

However, no matter how badly the Knicks play, don't forget that there is still a superstar in the team. Besides Anthony, there is also Stoudemire. As long as these two people are there, you can't treat the Knicks as a persimmon.

In the second half of the first quarter, Amare Stoudemire, who was given the nickname "Little Overlord", took the lead in showing off!Bosh succeeded in three consecutive singles at the basket, two of which were dunks!

Stoudemire is still a very threatening offensive player, playing very tough. The combination with Nash and the Suns back then attracted countless fans.

Today, Nash has been injured and has been on a truce. I heard that he is planning to retire, but Stoudemire wants to win a championship while he can still play. Of course, he is not in this Knicks team.

Stoudemire has set an example for the team on the offensive end, and wants to take more responsibility on the defensive end, so he wants to stop Xie Chen who has been scoring crazy. Unfortunately, the bully back then might be able to do it, but now Stoudemire can't!
