Super all-around point guard

Chapter 199 Mourning's Wrath!
Southern Florida in the United States has a warm and humid subtropical climate, and Miami is the warmest city in the United States in winter. The average temperature in Miami in March is 3 to 18 degrees Celsius. Xie Chen and Hassan are only wearing T-shirts and thin trousers, plus dazzling sunglasses. Coupled with a cool sports car, they are quite eye-catching along the way.

Under the stereo surround sound of BOSE speakers, the melody of Gazebo's "Masterpiece" sounded. Maybe Hassan felt that it was not exciting enough, so he quickly switched the music to FortMinor's "Remember The Name". At the same time, Xie Chen's right foot increased his strength.

Mourning, a famous former NBA star, the first athlete in the history of the Miami Heat to retire his jersey, a famous iron-blooded tough guy in the history of the NBA, who helped the Heat win the team's first championship, is a senior who the entire Miami Heat team must bow to.

The reason why Xie Chen took Hassan to see Mourning was to hope that Mourning could help Hassan get out of the predicament as soon as possible based on the experience of his seniors. As a good friend and team leader, Xie Chen said that Hassan would not refute what he said, but if he did not refute, it did not mean that he would listen and develop in a better way.

Speaking of which, this is also the common thought of Xie Chen and Riley. Riley told Xie Chen that Mourning was in Miami at this time, and he called Mourning in advance. Riley was also very disappointed with Hassan's performance recently, so Xie Chen proposed to let Mourning communicate with him for a few days while Hassan was suspended.

When he came to Mourning's home in Miami, Mourning greeted him personally. When he welcomed Xie Chen in, he slapped Xie Chen's shoulder hard with his big hand, which made Xie Chen feel a sudden pain. The title of tough guy is not for nothing. Even after retiring, he still has such great strength. Looking at his iron-blooded tough guy, it makes people shudder. Xie Chen was really worried about leaving Hassan here for two days.

After chatting briefly in the room and drinking a cup of tea, Xie Chen was called out by Mourning: "Thank you, accompany me to the yard."

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, Riley should call and tell Mourning, the person to be taught is Hassan, not me, hey, why did you ask me to go out!
Xie Chen stood up helplessly, but Hassan grabbed him again: "Brother, you will not put me here during the two-day suspension, right? I don't want to stay with this strict old guy, I will fight him!"

Xie Chen pushed Hassan away: "This is not only my idea, but also President Riley's decision. Mourning is the predecessor of our Heat, and he has been doing his best for the Heat to regain the championship. You have to listen to his teachings. As for fighting, if you think you can beat him, you can fight!"

"Hey, hey...don't go!" Hassan looked lonely, watching Xie Chen and Mourning go out.

For those who haven't watched the game for a long time, Mourning may be just a backup center who came from nowhere, came to hug O'Neal and Wade's thighs, and won a ring that symbolizes honor at the end of his career.

He is the defender of the basket. He scored 21 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.47 blocks in the first season. You must know that his height is short for the center position, only [-] meters, which shows his iron will and strong and domineering style.

For fans of Xie Chen's age, it may be more to see the background of Mourning being Carter's stunning dunk, but if you know the story of this man, it may change your mind.

When his career was still at its peak, after the Sydney Olympics won the championship on behalf of the United States, a press conference shocked fans all over the world. Mourning, who was playing in his prime, suddenly announced his retirement because of kidney failure and needed a kidney replacement operation.

Everyone thought that Mourning would not come back, and the NBA was still full of wild beasts and geniuses, but since then, there will be no iron-blooded tough guys!

However, the stubborn Mourning is back!After many twists and turns, he finally put on the Heat jersey again in 05, and he once again interpreted the meaning of a tough guy!
The physical confrontation in the NBA is so fierce, especially at the basket. Even if you are young and energetic, you will lie down and go home if you are not careful, not to mention Mourning, who was nearly forty and had a kidney transplant at that time!
An American reporter bluntly said: "The NBA is the most competitive game in the world, with the most physical collisions. Mourning is simply joking with his own life!"

Yes, Mourning bet his life in exchange for the dignity of an NBA player!
When the reporter asked him why he had to do this, he smiled and replied: "Because I am Mourning, and that is the reason!"

Mourning and Xie Chen walked to the basketball court in the courtyard. Mourning was holding a basketball with one hand, still full of domineering and tough guy demeanor. Xie Chen felt that the old man's eyes were too sharp and his expression was too serious, so he always felt that it would not be a good thing.

Mourning didn't look at Xie Chen, but said coldly: "I heard that you didn't recuperate according to the time prescribed by the doctor, and you came back a few days earlier, did you?"

Xie Chen said with a flat smile: "He has recovered, so he came back early."

Mourning nodded. This tough guy still appreciates Xie Chen's side. Although he doesn't have a strong body, he is not afraid of confrontation, nor is he afraid to play when he is injured.

Seeing Mourning's serious expression, Xie Chen quickly said: "Senior, President Riley should have told you this time that the main target of teaching is Hassan Whiteside. You should spend more time teaching him, and don't let him be so reckless on the court. He is a very important factor for our Heat to win the championship. I will leave first if I have something to do, and I will visit you another day!"

After Xie Chen finished speaking, he was about to slip away, but Mourning yelled at him from behind: "Stop! The matter of the Heat is Mourning's business. I will teach Hassan well, but you have to stay."

Damn it, I knew this would be the result, Mourning coolly threw the basketball to Xie Chen, Xie Chen was taken aback: "Brother, you don't mean to challenge me one-on-one, do you? I know you are a tough guy, but now you really can't guard against me!"

Mourning walked to the three-point line and said, "I know I can't prevent your jumper. I want you to guard me."

"Oh?" Xie Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that Mourning wanted to challenge himself. Fortunately, this guy is no longer in the same physical condition as before. He hit him as soon as he hit, and Xie Chen passed the ball to Mourning.

After holding the ball, Mourning made a tentative motion on the spot, and then suddenly changed direction to the left and rushed to the basket. Due to his slow speed, Xie Chen easily caught him, but when he reached the basket, Mourning still had the advantage of height and strength. Mourning didn't stop and went straight to the basket with his left hand.

"It's so simple?" Xie Chen was a little surprised, a little unexpected, he didn't expect Mourning to make a layup so easily, and he looked down on Xie Chen's defense too much, right?
Although I don't know why Mourning can use his physical advantage to slowly approach the basket and miss it, but Xie Chen still jumped up unceremoniously, and slapped the basketball out.

The basketball bounced a few times on the ground and then slowly rolled away.

Xie Chen was so relieved that he actually capped shot-blocking king Mourning. Although Mourning was retired, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.

Mourning calmly walked to the distance to pick up the basketball, and then asked Xie Chen, "Are you happy with the block just now?"

Xie Chen replied awkwardly: "It's okay."

At this moment, Mourning's expression suddenly changed, as if he was a different person, and he walked towards Xie Chen aggressively: "Then tell me why you have never blocked shots like this in a game! Do you know how many shots you averaged this season? No, do you know how many shots you have blocked this season? 5 times! That's right! Only 5 times! Even now, I have more blocks than you with a limping leg! The same height, you know D-Wade field How many blocks can you average? 1.3! You can even jump better than him! Although you are not as heavy as him, I know that your physical confrontation is not bad! You guy, what did you do on the field! You don’t even have the slightest defensive awareness! For you, only scoring can help the team, not blocking shots!”

Mourning spit, making Xie Chen back again and again for fear of being tricked, why is he so excited?Just because he averaged negligible blocks per game?However, this cannot be blamed on Xie Chen. The physical talent is mediocre, and he can only rely on the skills copied by the system. As the last skill to copy, blocking has not been copied until now. Of course, the blocking data cannot be seen.

Mourning may have been confused by Xie Chen's bounce when dunking and rebounding, thinking that Xie Chen has such good jumping ability and physical confrontation ability, he should be more active when defending the opponent's shot and layup. Mourning thinks that Xie Chen can do more things on the defensive end.

On this point, Mourning also told Pat Riley, and Riley immediately vetoed it. The offense is enough to worry Riley, and let him block the shot?Isn't this courting death!
But fortunately, Xie Chen's personal philosophy is different from Riley's, which is why Mourning specially kept Xie Chen.

Skills cannot be used casually. That is to say, when blocking shots, Xie Chen cannot use Zach Lavin's dunking skills, nor can he use Stephenson's rebounding skills. In other words, he cannot have their bounce and physical confrontation when blocking shots.

"Don't forget, you were capped by LeBron James! Don't you want to return it!" Mourning still said very seriously.

Xie Chen said: "I will definitely return it, I promise you!"

Mourning slapped Xie Chen on the shoulder with his big palm: "Good job! Let me teach you the skills of defense and blocking shots today!"

Xie Chen's shoulders were sore again, and he quickly backed away: "Senior! The person you are teaching is Hassan, not me!"
