Super all-around point guard

Chapter 156 Tribute to Kobe!
Kobe didn’t think that Xie Chen would keep assisting like this throughout the game. He knew Xie Chen too well. In his heart, the two were of the same type, including Westbrook, of course. They had always been aggressive on the court, like a ruthless killer, destroying opponents with scoring time and time again, just like what Kobe once said, no matter who defends me, I firmly believe that you will collapse before I collapse.

The determination and fighting spirit of the three of them, as well as not being disturbed by the outside world, are indeed very similar.

On the field, Xie Chen assisted all his teammates to open up the team's sense of touch. At this time, he also started to attack once by himself, doing the tasks given by the system.

Xie Chen punched Ross with his back, and pushed Ross in while dribbling. To Xie Chen's surprise, Xie Chen found that this time he easily made Ross take a step back, and his body seemed to be stronger in confrontation.

Since Wang Zhihui became Xie Chen's strength trainer and manager, Xie Chen's nutrition and strength have continued to increase. Except for the few days before the game against the Thunder, he forgot to eat and sleep to train steals, and he has not missed a day in strength training at other times. It is also quite hard. Could it be that the hard work has paid off?
Xie Chen slapped Rose on his back and asked, "D-ROSE, do you think I'm fat?"

Because Xie Chen was catching the ball so close to the basket, and seeing Rose look overwhelmed, Jimmy Butler next to him wanted to double-team Xie Chen, but he didn't expect to hear such confusing words as soon as he approached, so he walked away in embarrassment.

"..." Rose looked at his teammates who planned to help him and walked away silently, feeling embarrassed: "Can we discuss this issue in private?"

"Damn!" Xie Chen cursed silently, where were these two bastards thinking, Xie Chen said speechlessly, "I'm asking if you think I'm stronger than before!"

Rose was taken aback suddenly, and only then remembered that Xie Chen was still unable to support himself when he played against the Heat last time. Now it seems that his body has indeed changed a bit!

"It's really..." Ross was surprised when Xie Chen suddenly turned around and hit a Kobe-style fadeaway jumper!

"Damn it! You despicable bastard, you actually distracted me!" Ross cursed at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen spread his hands innocently: "It's better than someone dribbling the ball a second time."

One-tenth of the task was completed, and Xie Chen found that his body had become stronger again, so that he could better squeeze the opponent away in back-up singles, and even make the opponent lose his center of gravity, and his shooting percentage when shooting backwards would be much higher.

Seeing Xie Chen's Kobe-like fadeaway jumper, Vanessa cried out in shock: "I would really think that person is my husband if I don't look at his face, ha ha."

Kobe also smiled helplessly. Although he can't play now, Kobe is also very relieved to see his actions appear in another form on the NBA court. At this time, he never imagined that Xie Chen would use his methods to score throughout the game.

The Bulls' offense was caught by Hassan again. Xie Chen organized the team quickly, and the Bulls retreated quickly and shrank to the inside. Seeing this situation, Xie Chen was at the free throw line on the way, and suddenly took the initiative to turn his back to find Rose.

Vanessa was shocked again. This action is Kobe's most used action. First, he turned to the right side of the defensive player to attract the defensive player's attention to the right side, and then turned around and shot from the other side.

At this time, the Bulls fans also fell into panic!

"Is he going to start scoring mode?! Halfway through the first quarter, isn't it a bit late? But his two fadeaway jumpers just now are really beautiful."

"Beautiful P! Ignorant boy, that's Michael Jordan's throwback you didn't see 20 years ago!"

Xie Chen didn't know that in this arena, there are still many fans who watched Jordan play live 20 years ago. Even though Xie Chen is very good, but under the strict requirements of old fans, Xie Chen is still not at the same level as Jordan.But they had to admit that they couldn't help coming to watch Xie Chen play.

Xie Chen scored two goals in a row, which made the Bulls fans panic. They were afraid that Xie Chen would go out of control like he did against the Pacers and score more than 30 points in a quarter. Facts proved that they were over-concerned. Xie Chen only needed to hit 10 fadeaways in a game, that is to say, five in the half.

In the first quarter, the Heat took a double-digit lead with a score of 30 to 20. This is really due to the performance of Xie Chen’s teammates, especially Hassan, because Xie Chen only scored 4 points in this quarter, and Hassan contributed a lot in scoring, rebounding, and blocks. And Wade, when Xie Chen deliberately gave up the ball, Wade also revitalized the team in scoring and organizing offense. Overall, so leading is inevitable.

In the second quarter, the Bulls were blooming on the perimeter. In the middle of the quarter, the small substitute Brooks made a three-pointer to catch up to only two points. After Xie Chen came on the court, he chased Brooks with a basketball. Because Brooks was short and over 1.8 meters, he was the best opponent to play with his back. In this way, on Brooks’ head, Xie Chen hit two fadeaway jumpers in the second quarter, and the task was almost half completed.

For Xie Chen, he made 6 fadeaways in the second half. Even after scoring 38 points in a single quarter, it would be easy for him to complete these in one quarter. So Xie Chen has been very calm since he received this task.

Halftime, Bulls locker room.

The Bulls locker room is not very luxurious nowadays. It is simple and square. The locker is cut into squares and has a log color style. There is a tactical board hanging directly opposite the entrance. Coach Thibodeau will write tactics on it every night, draw pictures, and then cover it with dark curtains...

In the Bulls locker room, there is a door on the left hand side, which is the shower room, and the door on the right hand side is the physical therapy room, and a sentence is pasted on the top of the next door: "Energy, Focus, No Excuses."

The Spurs locker room also hung a motivational quote, which is also Popovich's favorite: "When everything seemed useless, I went to see a stonemason knock on the stone. He knocked 100 times in a row, and the stone still didn't move. But when he knocked for the 101st time, the stone split in two, but I know that it was not the last blow that split the stone, but the result of the previous hundred knocks."

Every team has a locker room philosophy, and the Heat are no exception. What they say is that everyone has the motivation to succeed, but the champion needs to turn this motivation into a persistent habit that goes beyond the mere utilitarianism of winning and losing.

In fact, there are no more than three people in the Heat who can really do this.

The locker in the Bulls locker room, which is closest to the left of the shower, has been unused for many years. No one dares to use it because it is the locker that Michael Jordan once used.

In the locker room, Pau Gasol stroked his wavy hair, drank water and asked Rose, "D-ROSE, do you feel that Xie's style of play today is different from before?"

Rose smiled: "Isn't he like this often? Sometimes he shoots three-pointers throughout the game, sometimes he makes breakthroughs throughout the game, sometimes he doesn't do anything but grab rebounds, sometimes he doesn't care about statistics, and sometimes he doesn't hesitate to grab rebounds from his teammates for the sake of statistics. In the past few games, he was crazy about gambling steals, but now he has changed. So, Paul, don't bother studying his style of play, you don't understand."

"No, I think I can understand it." Pau Gasol became serious: "You also know that Kobe is out for the season, and Kobe is Xie Chen's favorite star. His shots in the first half were all Kobe-style fadeaways. According to his past characteristics, he might hit you with Kobe-style fadeaways throughout the game."

Rose was taken aback suddenly: "You mean, Xie wants to pay tribute to Kobe with a Kobe-style backward movement?"

"It's possible. On the one hand, Xie really respects him. Otherwise, he wouldn't thank Kobe loudly after scoring 38 points. On the other hand, Kobe has countless fans around the world. Xie will win the favor of many Kobe fans by doing so. Why not do it?" Pau Gasol analyzed.

Rose thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it is indeed possible. In the second half, I will pay attention to defending his fallback."

In the second half, Xie Chen still controlled the rhythm of the court in an orderly manner after he came on the court, and he was not in a hurry to score to complete the task. When the opportunity appeared, he did not hesitate to play Rose with his back and score another one!
Kobe's fallback jumper skill hit rate is not high, but because Xie Chen used it reasonably, he only used it at the most certain and appropriate time, so the hit rate of the first five shots was actually raised to [-]% by Xie Chen!

"Is this kid really going to pay tribute to Kobe for the whole game?" Rose is still not sure about Xie Chen's intentions in this game, but Kobe's departure is indeed regrettable, so Rose also wants to pay tribute to Kobe with a backlash, and let Xie Chen hit him on the back several times.

Then, looking back, Rose took the initiative to find Xie Chen and played Xie Chen with his back in the same position. Rose's body was very hard and his muscles were very strong. Xie Chen often used Rose's ability to layup and knew this very well. But this time he really felt Rose's tough body.

"This bastard, so hard." Ross used the mascot's furry clothes to push Xie Chen hard once. This time, seeing that Ross was deliberately coming to fight with his body again, Xie Chen suddenly dodged, and Ross's center of gravity was a little unstable. Xie Chen took the opportunity to interrupt Ross's ball.
