Super all-around point guard

Chapter 39 Do you dare to let me shoot a three-pointer?
Wiggins was stunned, and Zach Lavin, who had a chance to win the slam dunk title, was also stunned. The audience exclaimed. Except for Coach Spoelstra and Norris Cole, who had witnessed Xie Chen's layup prowess, everyone else was shocked on the spot.

At the American Airlines Arena, it was the first time that everyone saw Xie Chen complete a serious layup against a defensive player. If the two plus one that hit Howard with a half-baked stray step was a bad luck ball and could not be replicated, then no one doubted Xie Chen's strength with this ball.

His firmness and confidence after taking off with both feet, his skill in avoiding blocks in the air, and his low-handed layup in one go are all eye-catching.

"Oh, you're getting better and better, thank you!" Wade stretched out his arms and slapped Xie Chen. He was also very happy. If he watched the video playback, it was not difficult for him to guess how similar the ball was to Rose.

Xie Chen smiled. Everyone was so surprised that he only used half of Rose's skills. If the fusion rate reached [-]%, and he was really like Rose, he would be worshiped by all kinds of incomprehensible layups in the restricted area.
Thinking of this, Xie Chen couldn't wait for that day even more impatiently.

"11 points! Xie Chen scored two points as soon as he played in the fourth quarter. He is only 8 points away from the bet with Barkley. Xie Chen has a chance to score 19 points!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

On the contrary, Zhang Weiping became cautious at this time: "But it's hard to say. After all, judging from the first three quarters, Xie Chen's offensive state and rhythm desire today are not good. He just scored a layup, but layups are not Xie Chen's strong point. If he can't blossom outside the three-point line, I don't think he can continue to score."

Zhang Weiping's opinion is consistent with that of most fans, because everyone is used to the outside shooter who shoots three-pointers fiercely, and they all think that Xie Chen's layup just now is a last resort, and they don't think he will continue to layup in the future.

The Timberwolves' counterattack continued. Wiggins held the ball at 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right. Pekovic and Thaddeus Young stepped forward to cover at the same time.

Pekovic cuts in suddenly, Thaddeus Young goes out, and Wiggins takes the opportunity to dribble to the left. For a while, the Heat's defensive players are somewhat disrupted. The defensive focus is attracted by Pekovic and Thaddeus Young.

In this tactic, Wiggins is a crucial point. Whether he chooses to shoot or distribute the ball to the center who cuts in or Yang outside depends on the Heat's defense. For the Heat, the opponent will always have a position.

Wiggins scored another two points, returned the favor to Xie Chen, and smiled proudly at Xie Chen. After Xie Chen held the ball, without a word, he broke through again and Wiggins, who didn't even have a defensive posture, made a straight breakthrough.

"It's another layup!"

"So fast!"

Everyone was shocked again, and the Timberwolves coach yelled from the sidelines: "What are you doing!"

Obviously dissatisfied with the Timberwolves' careless defense.

"It's 13 points, and it's another layup. It's only two three-pointers away from the score Barkley bet on. Director Zhang, do you still think Xie Chen can't get 19 points?" Yu Jia asked with a smile.

Zhang Weiping was also a little unexpected at this time, and smiled awkwardly: "This is really surprising. A shooter who is famous for three-pointers missed a three-pointer today and scored two layups in a row. It can be seen that Xie Chen's desire to attack came back as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter. As long as he really wants to score, there is still a long time before the fourth quarter. There is absolutely no problem with 19 points. What makes people wonder is whether he scored through three-pointers or layups."

"I believe Wiggins has the same question as you at this moment. Let's continue to return to the game. The Timberwolves' counterattack is still going on. The suspense of this game is still... A mistake! Wiggins made a pass error!"

I saw that on the field, after Wiggins controlled the ball, he wanted to pass the ball first to Luol Deng's rushing defense, but he didn't expect that the pass was passed directly to Xie Chen's back!

Wiggins distracted?Everyone couldn't believe this fact.

In fact, this young rookie was really distracted, because Xie Chen scored 4 points in a row, and he used a breakthrough layup, and he was only one step away from 19 points. Therefore, Wiggins was under a lot of pressure. He had to keep Xie Chen's score below 19 points, so that Xie Chen would be ridiculed by Barkley forever.

For opponents of top players, this is by no means a problem that can be taken into account. If they defend against breakthroughs, they will definitely give the opponent a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and vice versa.

That year, in the finals between the Spurs and the Heat, Popovich asked the defender to let James take one more step!It was to completely stifle James' drive into the penalty area, and then James defeated Popovich's strategy with a three-pointer.

Wiggins is well aware of this, so he is worried about whether to prevent breakthroughs or prevent shots, which directly leads to pass errors.

After the ball hit Xie Chen, Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, there was a basketball, which made him so happy, he picked up the basketball and quickly went to the basket to kill it.

"You can't succeed!" After Xie Chen rushed to the basket, Wiggins was the first to stop Xie Chen. The two were almost neck and neck, but Xie Chen paused for a moment at the three-point line. Although Wiggins was also concerned about Xie Chen's three-pointer, he guessed that Xie Chen should be a fake move. His real goal was to lay up!

Sure enough, Xie Chen paused for a while, started the second time, and directly entered the restricted area!
"I guessed it would be like this. Don't even think about layups. I'll block you to death!" Wiggins is tall and long-armed, and he rushed to the basket earlier. As long as Xie Chen dares to jump head-on for a layup, Wiggins will definitely complete a shocking block!

The home fans were both excited and worried. What was exciting was that the two best rookies had finally staged a real one-on-one match in this competition for the best rookie. What worried was whether Xie Chen would be blocked!
After all, Xie Chen's jumping ability is average, and Wiggins is a full ten centimeters taller than Xie Chen, and his bounce is so good.

Facing Wiggins, who was retreating quickly, Xie Chen suddenly jumped over the opponent!

"Nice jump!"

Wiggins was also shocked. This kid really has enough layup methods. However, at this time, he didn't completely get rid of Wiggins. After the jump, the height when he jumped for another layup is often limited. Xie Chen's bounce itself is average, and Wiggins still has a chance to cover Xie Chen.

I saw that after Xie Chen jumped, the ball was transferred from his right hand to his left hand, and the movement was extremely chic in one go. His left arm stretched long towards the basket, rising up with his body, and Wiggins' long arm also stretched out, ready to cover Xie Chen.

However, Wiggins, who has long lost his position and can't jump up, no matter how long his arms are, no matter how tall he is, he can't cover Xie Chen who is still rising.

Xie Chen almost ignored Wiggins and made an easy layup.

"nice shot!"

"Oh my god! The Rose of the Windy City is possessed!"

Some fans have already recognized that Xie Chen's jumping layup just now is exactly the same as Rose's action. Everyone knows the story of Xie Chen and Rose, and they inevitably have doubts in their hearts. Did Xie Chen go to Chicago to steal a teacher?If you injure your master after you finish your studies, wouldn't you be the only one in the league who can make Ross-like layups?
Hahaha, this rookie really becomes more and more likable the more I look at it!

"That's it, rookie boy! What we see is your non-stop offense! Attack!" The fans were in high spirits. At this moment, they waited for four full quarters!What they are looking at is Xie Chenwei's offensive ability. No one is interested in seeing Xie Chen's ordinary pass assists.

"Damn it! 15 points!" Wiggins punched the air angrily, blaming himself for hesitation. He gave Xie Chen a fast break opportunity for no reason, and this ball made Wiggins completely understand that Xie Chen was playing for a layup today. At this time, he also decided to defend Xie Chen's breakthrough!
In the next round, after Xie Chen received the ball from outside the three-point line, Wiggins was one step closer to himself.

Xie Chen was startled and asked, "Do you dare to let me shoot a three-pointer?"

Wiggins said disdainfully: "Your three-pointer, it's enough to interfere with you casually! I know you want to use our Timberwolves as a training team for layups today, and you can't go in again!"

Facing Wiggins' chattering words, Xie Chen asked again: "Do you dare to let me shoot a three-pointer?"

Wiggins was impatient: "So what if you let you make a three-pointer!"

Xie Chen jumped to shoot the basket on the spot. Wiggins' intervention like a remedy for a dead sheep had no effect on Xie Chen, and the ball hit the net.

After the ball was scored, Xie Chen smiled contemptuously again and said, "How dare you let me shoot a three-pointer!"
