Xie Chen averaged 48.1 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists and 2.5 steals, becoming the season's scoring leader, rebounding leader, assists leader and steals king. e-novel
In addition, Xie Chen's average blocked shots are second only to the New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis and Utah Jazz's Rudy Gorbert. They are in the top three and are the only non-inside players in the top ten.
Such data really shocked everyone.
"Xie Chen's scoring average is second only to Chamberlain's scoring average of 5o! And Chamberlain's scoring king was born in 1962. It can be called 48.1 points per game in the current NBA! Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant Bryant was beaten by him!"
"Since the o'clock, Xie Chen and Wei Shao also completed the feat of triple-doubles per game, but Wei Shao scored much worse than Xie Chen, and the team's record is not in the same grade."
"Not much to say, we can only worship, this is what God can do!"
While people marveled at Xie Chen's personal weather data, the rankings of the East and West have also been settled.
The Lakers are 75 wins and 7 losses. The first in the West is well deserved. The second to eighth places are: Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder.
The opponent of the first round of the Lakers playoffs is the Thunder led by Wei Shao!
The first to eighth in the East are: Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks.
...
tn.t, at the end of the regular season, several famous players will naturally summarize the performance of each team in the regular season and predict the playoffs.
The host said: "The regular season is over, I think everyone did not expect the Lakers to break the Warriors' 73 win record last season, and it has improved to 75 games. Xie's personal data is even more surprising, averaging 48.1 points and 14 12 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and steals, and won the scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals. Is this the same as we expected at the beginning of the season?"
Kenny Smith said: "Actually, it was very similar to what we had expected. At the time, we expected that the thank you would be crazy to support a team alone. He averaged three doubles per game. We expected this, but we didn't expect his The triple-double data will be so amazing, all the league first, he also made the Lakers the first in the West, which is terrible."
Charles Barkley said: "Actually think about what you have done this season. You wouldn't be surprised. He would only score 5o points to win a game. He would force himself to score 8o points or even 1oo points. For him, scoring 8o points in a game is like chopping melons and chopping vegetables. I am very worried about whether he wasted himself in the regular season."
O'Neill also said: "You think too much, Charles, I don't think he has any physical problems. In fact, he used a lot of methods in the regular season to make it easy to win, such as threatening opponents, no one wants to be a background, so They had to obediently let Xie win the game. In addition, the news that he announced his retirement in the final stage of the regular season made him easily win many games. If it was not Drummond who played the Heat, the ball was sent off and rebounded. King may not be his, as for others, that is indeed his strength. Not only the scoring king, he will also get the best defensive player, mvp, and he also scored 5oo three-pointers, not ?"
"It still sounds incredible," the host said with emotion, and then said, "Now the list of the first round of the playoffs is also out, the Cavaliers against the Bucks, the Warriors against the Jazz, I think there should be no suspense, What do you think of the Lakers and Thunder series? Although the Lakers are a record-setting team, people’s confidence in them doesn’t seem to be the same as they looked at the Warriors last year.

Charles Barkley said: "I have to say that in the playoffs, the Lakers will never be as dominant as in the regular season. Even if they win, every time they win a ball, it will be very difficult because the regular season and The playoffs are a completely different game. For a single-core team like the Lakers, opponents will certainly pinch this point, not allowing Xie to score, not allowing Xie to affect the game, but similarly, the Thunder except Westbrook In addition, there is no second-level superstar, so I think the Lakers have a bigger win, after all, they are the first in the West and have more confidence. But in the second round of the series, whether it is the Spurs or the Rockets, I Not very optimistic."
O'Neill also took it seriously: "I am the same. It is Xie who must do to solve the Thunder. They all have only one superstar. Xie is obviously a higher grade star than Russell Westbrook. I predict this series will be The fight is very intense and very nice, but in the end, the Lakers will be promoted, and then they will meet the San Antonio Spurs, and then Xie will be scorched, that’s it."
"Can't you even make it to the Western Conference Finals?" The host also wanted to ask the Lakers and the Warriors the possibility and chance of a duel.
"Yes, the Lakers obviously rely on Xie alone. I don’t think Vicky will be able to deal with them. At that time, the Miami Big Three were all subdued by Vicky. You can say that the Heat won the Spurs once, but if not Ray Allen's three-pointer was already scored. Of course, if they encountered the Houston Rockets in the second round, we can also look forward to it. After all, the Rockets team is even more dare not to expect. Said Charles Barkley.
"So your prediction is that the Warriors or Cavaliers or the Spurs will win, and then Xie will play another season?" the host asked.
"Yes, Xie will play another season. I think the league and the fans want him to continue playing. He is too young. There is no need to retire so early. I think he can get all the honors this season, except for the total. Champion." Kenny Smith concluded.
...
Oklahoma City, the Thunder training hall, the Thunder still struggled to keep the playoffs. This season is not easy for them. Kevin Durant's departure makes everyone no longer hopeful for the Thunder to win the championship. , They also know that they are still some distance away from the top teams, but in the playoffs, confidence must be there, now not to think about the championship, but to think about the next opponent, think about the first game Thing.
Coach Donovan brought the players together, and we can see that Wei Shao, Oladipo, Adams and other guys have serious expressions, and they all know what they will face next.
Donovan also said with a serious face: "I think everyone is very clear. Next we will prepare for the playoffs, and our first round opponent is a team with 75 wins. I want to ask you, you are you afraid?"
There was a brief silence at the scene, and then Wei Shao made an indifferent gesture, and the first said: "Is there anything to be afraid of, even if I am strong, I am not a five person?"
Oladipo, who just ended the suspension, also disdain: "No opponent can make us feel afraid, nor can the Lakers."
Donovan nodded and said, "First we have to admit that the Lakers are very strong. They can get 75 wins not only by luck, but we don't need to fear them at all, because the reason for dealing with strong is very simple, Chris Thanks, so as long as we deal with good thanks, we can win this series."
At this time, Kanter was somewhat pessimistic: "We all know this, and the warriors and knights knew it in the past, but they still haven't stopped Xie from winning the championship. Do you have a way to limit him?"
"To be frank, when he was on the court, I had no good way." Donovan replied. This answer made everyone feel a little lost, but Donovan's voice suddenly changed, saying: "But if we put He gets it off, the game is ours!"
"Get him off? How?" Oladipo's eyes suddenly lighted.
Donovan patted Oladipo's shoulder, and then faced everyone: "The Lakers are Xie's team, so we only need to do one thing in this series, that is, try to make Xie commit every game. The full departure left him troubled by fouls every time. To win, the Lakers absolutely need to rely on Xie’s personal offense. Under his crazy offense, he will not have fewer personal fouls per game. We want If you want him to reach the point of six fouls, you need to deliberately make a foul.
"Russell, Xie will not always defend you, but once he defends you, you will have to fight him resolutely. You are the player who can do the most damage to him. Oladipo, Xie will defend you most of the time , So this plan, you are the key person, plus the grudge between you and Xie, you must try to make him keep fouling on you. And you, no matter who meets Xie, as long as you are away from the basket The basket is not very far, you just play me firmly, use height advantage or other methods to trick him into fouling, no matter what method you use, in short, let me get him off! I don’t want to see that guy at the end of the game. !"
When it comes to the last sentence, Coach Donovan is almost crazy! Since he decided to play the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, he has been thinking about how to limit Xie, but can think of ways, Cavaliers and Warriors have used it before, the effect is still not stable enough, so he thought With such a once-and-for-all approach, Xie Chen will be taken off the court directly without worrying that Xie Chen will cause trouble to himself.
Speaking of which, he is really thanks to the grudge between Oladipo and Xie Chen, which inspired him, and there is such an enemy in the team, Xie Chen's emotions will definitely be impatient, and this will prompt him Fouls will be easier.
Oladipo didn't expect his task to be so heavy. He had been beaten twice by Xie Chen, but he didn't dare to fight Xie Chen again, but if he just sprayed to anger Xie Chen and made Xie Chen foul on himself, Oladipo can still do it.
Oladipo patted his chest and promised: "I promise to foul him at least four times per game! Russell, I know you have a good relationship with Xie in private, but since you want to get him off, you are on the court with him It must also be hostile. I think you'd better spam him like me. Once he angers him, it will be easier for him to foul."
Wei Shao knew that this was indeed a feasible way, so he laughed lightly: "I haven't recognized my six relatives on the court, you don't have to worry about me putting water."
...
The Lakers are naturally discussing how to deal with the Thunder, but compared to the tension of the Thunder, the Lakers players are relatively relaxed. This is also the confidence built by the regular season. They are confident that they are in six games. Solve battles within.
Luke Wharton, as a rookie coach, also attaches great importance to his first playoff series, but with the ace of Xie Chen in his hand, he obviously should not be too worried.
"Thanks, I know you have hidden your ability to make layups for so long, and I can’t help but want to be seen by people all over the world, but against the Thunder series, I don’t think you need to be exposed." Lukewo Dunton talked to Xie Chen about Thunder. He thought that playing Thunder wouldn't require Xie Chen to use all his abilities.
Xie Chen also nodded: "I have confidence in solving them in six games, and even five games. However, I have always had a regret against Westbrook."
"What a pity?" Luke Wharton curious~EbookFREE.me~ Since I entered the league, I have defeated many people in the game. I mean to break up their strong willpower a little bit until they collapse, and then pull Searle's matchup, although I have always had the upper hand, but I have never completely defeated him, this may be our only playoff matchup, I want to take this opportunity to win him completely, so, I want to Beat them personally and defend him, and let me do it. Xie Chen said lightly.
Luke Wharton did not expect Xie Chen to be so strong that it was not enough to get a lead in the number of encounters. It was necessary to completely defeat the will of the opponent and let the opponent be convinced. Speaking of that, to achieve this goal, the playoffs It is indeed the most suitable stage, because in the playoffs, each player will be very focused, and will pay special attention to the game wins and losses, in this emotion, the gains and losses will become very heavy, once defeated and abused, it will hurt heavier.
Luke Wharton agreed with Xie Chen's request, saying: "Okay, Russell is not a James Harden-like player who seeks foul play after all, but you should be careful."
Xie Chen smiled and said: "I promise that when he makes me full of fouls, his fighting spirit will be defeated by me at the same time."
The Thunder are single-core teams like the Lakers. Xie Chen only needs to defeat their star player to easily resolve the remaining small fish and shrimp.
Three days later, at the Staples Center, the Lakers played their first game against the Thunder.
In the Tencent live broadcast room, Ke Fan said excitedly: "The playoffs officially started today. There are four games today. The Lakers and Thunder games are definitely the focus of everyone's attention. Many celebrities came to the Staples scene. Like old Nelson, Leonardo, rapper snoopdogg, and... Huh? Carl Downs is also here? Zaclavin and Wiggins are also here?"
