Super all-around point guard

Chapter 186 James' scheming!

The slam dunk contest in 2000, I believe that even though more than ten years have passed, it is still fresh in the hearts of fans. This is called the best slam dunk contest in history by many basketball fans.

Although everyone focused on Carter before and after the game, Xie Chen had a special liking for another dunk in that slam dunk contest, which was the full-score dunk that just imitated McGrady. It was chic, handsome, and light and easy, which was exactly in line with a dunk player like Zach Lavin who was not a power type. Xie Chen used Zach Lavin's strength to complete this action and achieved the desired effect.

Seeing Xie Chen turn around in the air again, Zach Laven was speechless in admiration. Although he was sure he could do these moves, Xie Chen already had a three-pointer against the sky, and the dunk was also top-notch. This made Zach Laven feel that he had no way to compare with Xie Chen.

After dunking, under the cheers of everyone present, Xie Chen gave Wade a high-five, and Wade said with a smile: "That's it, I can pass the ball to the basket casually in the future."

"That's right, Boss, we will also be the city of lobs in the future!" Xie Chen also smiled. There is no doubt that the All-Star Game is just the beginning. After the All-Star Game, as long as Xie Chen has the opportunity, he will never give up the dunk performance.

Soon, Xie Chen and James were also replaced, and only the substitutes were left to play. Originally, the score rose alternately, but Westbrook in the West seemed to be particularly excited, scoring consecutively. Almost every attack of the West team had to go through Westbrook's hands, and Westbrook played very well.

In the first quarter alone, this guy scored close to 20 points.

"Why is this kid so excited?" Xie Chen rubbed his chin, looking at Westbrook who was always cheerful on the field, feeling a little confused.

Westbrook is different from James and others. He will not feel threatened because Xie Chen has another dunk stunt. On the contrary, after learning that Xie Chen can dunk so well, Westbrook becomes even more excited. He has always considered himself the strongest No. [-] in the league.

Now, after learning that Xie Chen intends to hide his strength, Westbrook can't wait to have another 1-on-1 with Xie Chen!
In the second quarter, when Xie Chen and James played the main players, the Eastern All-Star team was already 18 points behind, and Westbrook had already scored 25 points at this time. It can be expected that if the game continues like this, Westbrook will be the All-Star MVP tonight.

As the leaders of the Eastern Conference, Xie Chen and James are obliged to catch up with the score and not let the All-Star Game lose its suspense prematurely.

Sure enough, James scored a goal as soon as he came on the court, reducing the score to 16 points. Later, because the West was still passing the long-distance pass, the Eastern team frequently made steals.

The point difference was quickly narrowed to 10 points.

The bearded nightclub, he dribbled the ball under his crotch from half court. Because the defender was Xie Chen, the fans cheered. Harden's center of gravity was so low that he couldn't even steal it easily with Paul's stealing ability. Xie Chen knew that Harden was playing with him, and he didn't take it seriously.

As an All-Star, there is really no need to be so serious about defending. Although Xie Chen is participating for the first time, his performance on the court is quite praised by those legendary stars.

However, seeing that Harden was about to stand in front of him and throw the basketball, Xie Chen was about to run to grab the rebound, but suddenly heard a slap, and saw a figure flying behind Xie Chen, blocking Harden's shot!
Xie Chen was a little shocked, who could jump so high!Still in the All-Star game!
This kind of blocking was really unexpected, because Harden is Xie Chen's defensive player. Logically speaking, other people should not appear. Then, James, No. 23, appeared in front. After getting the ball, he quickly rushed to the empty basket and staged a windmill dunk.

Harden glanced at James with serious eyes, but walked away without saying anything.

Next, the East team almost all shot three-pointers. Although the point difference was not too big, they still made long-range shots without exception. None of them played dunks or layups. This made Xie Chen, who was bent on dunking, very upset.

Yang Jian also saw this point: "At the beginning, the Eastern Conference was all dunks, but now it's all three-pointers, and they shoot as soon as they get the ball. This game is almost turning into a three-point shooting contest."

Xie Chen knew that it was led by James, and knew that Xie Chen was going to dunk, so he refused to dunk with everyone, trying to make Xie Chen give up the dunk performance as soon as possible, but if he could dunk, who would want to shoot a three-pointer?If you say you want to dunk, I have to dunk. If you say you want to shoot a three-pointer, do I have to shoot a three-pointer?

Xie Chen would not follow their pace.

The Western team Curry entered the penalty area, but did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner. Xie Chen made a beautiful interception, another steal, and then a long pass to James, and the opponent succeeded in a fast break.

At this time, Harden walked towards Xie Chen and said blankly, "Thank you, why do you keep passing him the balls one after another? You are not a fool, can't you see that your performance tonight has made him very unhappy? Apart from the first pass to see you get embarrassed, has he passed you again?"

Xie Chen pretended to be confused and laughed: "Haha, don't provoke the relationship between our teammates."

Harden seemed particularly serious: "You know what I'm talking about."

Xie Chen paused, knowing that the relationship between Harden and James was also tense. Just a few days before the All-Star Game, in the game between the Cavaliers and the Rockets, the match between the two teams was full of gunpowder. Harden kicked James in the crotch and was suspended for one game. Even though Harden finally explained that it was a subconscious physical reaction, James still complained about Harden.

Harden and James are both popular candidates for MVP so far. In James' view, Xie Chen, who has just arrived, is by no means as threatening as Harden, especially Harden can play an amazing record in the absence of Howard. On this point, James knew that he would definitely lose to Harden.

Harden felt that Xie Chen was also a thorn in James' side, so he thought he could be on the same line with Xie Chen.

How could Xie Chen not understand what Harden said?Xie Chen didn't want to say these words at this time, but seeing Harden's attitude of not giving up, he opened his mouth and said: "Actually, Harden, I have no other choice. Everyone in the Eastern team is headed by LeBron. Now, he is the leader and I am a rookie. This is an unchangeable fact. Since he is destined to score, why not let others pass it to him? You know, assists are also a very important statistic."

Harden was slightly amazed, he didn't expect Xie Chen, a rookie, to be able to bear this breath.

Seeing that the ball was about to pass halftime, Xie Chen quickly added another sentence: "Don't forget, there are thousands of fans all over the world who are watching this game. Who is selfish and who is great, the audience is not a fool, they will tell the difference."

At this moment, seeing Curry standing at a 45-degree angle and about to shoot a three-pointer, Xie Chen immediately walked to the frontcourt. Sure enough, he made a solid shot. The East grabbed the rebound and just passed it to James at the center line. James was about to make another quick down. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen was one step faster than himself, and he was almost at the basket!

"Damn! How could he be faster than me! Did this guy go to the basket early? This must force me to pass the ball to him again!"

James was shocked. Xie Chen was empty at this time, and he was about to reach the basket. The fans on the scene had already started to cheer in advance and looked forward to the second cooperation between the two. If James didn't pass the ball, he would be criticized by countless fans, but if he passed it, Xie Chen's dunk performance would be completed again!

At this moment, the League No.1 felt very distressed.

Harden smiled slightly when he saw it, and it turned out that Xie Chen was superior, and he had a way to put James in a dilemma. If Xie Chen hadn't passed on James before, it would be understandable for James to go it alone now, but in this quarter, Xie Chen assisted James no less than three times.

I saw that James dribbled the ball for half court by himself.

Then throw the ball high and into the basket!

The commentator Yang Jian was very excited: "James and Xie Chen have another empty connection! Xie Chen has jumped up! It's still so light! Oh, James passed the ball too high, and Xie Chen jumped so high that he didn't even touch it."

James did pass, but he deliberately raised the ball so that Xie Chen couldn't catch it. Xie Chen cursed secretly, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back.
"What?" Xie Chen was secretly startled, James was going to... this was going to let him pass the alley-oop to him!

James walked like flying and jumped up. Xie Chen near the free throw line stared blankly at James as he lifted into the air. At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma!
To pass or not to pass!
Xie Chen naturally didn't want to pass it, but James had already jumped up, and he couldn't pretend he couldn't see it. Just like what he said just now, millions of fans around the world are not fools, and they can tell who is selfish and who is great, so this ball must be passed.

James deliberately passed the bad ball to himself. It was in the midfield position, which is understandable, but now, so close to the basket, it is impossible for Xie Chen to follow James' example.

Harden in the backcourt shook his head and secretly said, "Compared with LeBron, Xie's scheming is still far behind."
