Chapter 636: The truth is exposed!

Luke Wharton's question is straightforward. He wants to know how much hidden ability Xie Chen still has. That's why he came to Xie Chen today and avoided meeting with James. △↗,
I have to say that although Luke Wharton is very young, Xie Chen can feel his strong personal charm from him. The same problem, under the same circumstances, if it was changed to Fisher, he asked him just a few times after he met him. Xie Chen's hidden ability, Xie Chen may not be frank immediately, but for Luke Wharton, Xie Chen is willing to reveal some.
Luke Wharton is the first NBA coach in the 1980s. Of course, he is not too young. He was born in 1980. He is 36 years old this year, but he is still older than him. After 70, there are still a lot of players in the NBA, such as Carter Garnett and the Spurs. But he has already taken the position of the Lakers coach.
It is a coincidence that in 1979, the Lakers were put on the shelves by old Cook, Jerry Bass acquired the Lakers to become the new boss, at that time, "Sophisticated Operator" Pat Riley became the coach of the Lakers, also 36 At the age of that year, the Lakers held the No. 1 pick and selected the great point guard Magic Johnson, with Tian Gou and Worthy. They won the championship the following year and began the SHOWTIME era of the Lakers.
Today at Wharton, who is also 36 years old, the Lakers coincidentally owned another of history's greatest point guard Xie Chen, and with the No. 1 pick, Brandon Ingram was selected. Jerry Bass has passed away for three years, and Jenny has just signed Xie Chen to gain the upper hand in the fight with Jim Bass.
Xie Chen doesn't know whether Wharton will be as great as Pat Riley, but he will be sure that the Lakers will also win the championship soon, and he also wants this Lakers to play SHOWTIME as a pleasing offense!
Not only to win, but to play well! Let every audience see the pleasing praise! This is Xie Chen's goal for next season!
There are too many coincidences that make Xie Chen feel that Luke Wharton was assigned to him by God, so Xie Chen replied slowly: "My defense will become stronger, my rebounds and blocking will also improve Some, as well as free throws and passes, will be better than before. I have also practiced some difficult layups recently. I may be able to see me complete a layup in the air under two or three defenses next season Yes. Also, the speed of my fast down should also be faster."
Luke Wharton was dumbfounded. Who is this Xie Chen? This season is going to improve in all directions! Considering that Xie Chen's abilities have reached the top level, Xie Chen's progress should not be too much. In addition to the layup, Wharton also knows that many people question Xie Chen's layup ability and think that Xie Chen did not make good use of him. BT's physical quality, as the head coach, Wharton feels that hitting those unbelievably difficult layups is irrelevant, he still hopes that Xie Chen can score in the safest way, such as a three-pointer.
Wharton found out that Xie Chen only talked about Xie Chen's progress in general, and did not specifically say any hidden ability, so he directly asked: "I heard that Stephen Curry is now desperately practicing three-point shooting every day, and the distance is getting farther and farther. , I would love to know, will your three-pointer improve next season?"
Xie Chen and Curry's three-point shooting ability was already in the league last season or even the best in history, but last season, the two evolved together again! This shocked the entire league. Now Stephen Curry is working hard again. I don’t know whether it will evolve again next season, and I don’t know if Xie Chen can keep up with Curry if Curry evolves again. What?
Xie Chen smiled. Wharton had been a Warriors coach before. He was also interested in Curry and Xie Chen. Xie Chen said: "At present, I have no plans to strengthen the training by three points. I can only guarantee that I will play. This season's three-pointer will maintain the previous level, but I can tell you that no matter how Curry's three-point ability evolves, I can catch up with him. However, I think he has little room for improvement."
Wharton was shocked by Xie Chen's self-confidence again. No matter how scary Curry's three-point ability evolved, could Xie Chen be confident and not lose each other? Wharton was watching the Curry's three-pointer shooting a little bit of BT in the Warriors, but he did not know how Xie Chen actually practiced, but today Xie Chen training is so hard, he firmly believes that Xie Chen also spent a lot Kung fu, only outsiders don't know it.
Wharton said to Xie Chen with some distress: "Don't make yourself too hard because of these."
"Uh, I try to..." Xie Chen didn't know how to answer. If he wants to become as strong as Curry, he can't work hard. He has a replication system, just copy it directly...
Luke Wharton looked at Xie Chen with admiration for a while, and then said: "Oh, I found a friend to help me. He will officially join the Lakers coaching team in these two days. It was not long before he played with him."
"Oh? Who is it?" Xie Chen asked suspiciously. He played the ball not long ago. Isn't that a playoff opponent? Who doesn't play basketball and becomes a coach?
"Richard Jefferson of the Cavaliers." Wharton said slowly.
"Jefferson?" Xie Chen didn't expect this guy to come.
Luke Wharton and Jefferson are good friends, they both reached the NCAA final together 15 years ago, but unfortunately they eventually lost to Duke. Until now, the relationship between the two is still very good, from time to time. Meet at the casino.
At present, the Lakers veteran and former head coach Brian Shaw has been confirmed to be the assistant coach of the Lakers, Zuo Walton, as well as the Raptors' NBDL team coach Jesse Melms and the Warriors player development coach Chris De Marco, but Even so, Wharton still feels that the helper is not enough. He knows his friend Jefferson very well. He is sure that Jefferson’s high IQ can help the team, and with the friend’s company, his first coaching in his career will also be good. More pleasant.
Richard Jefferson and Wharton are both 36 years old. Wharton has grown to be the head coach. As a player, Jefferson is already a veteran veteran. After retaking the championship, he retired. I didn't expect that championship, but I didn't get it in the end.
Wharton also sighed and was very sorry for his friends: "Richard always wanted to leave the league with a championship ring without regret. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers were eliminated by your team. My friend is still complaining about you now. , Haha."
Xie Chen thought about Jefferson carefully. He remembered that in the series with the Cavaliers, Jefferson hit several key goals and contributed a lot of power to the Cavaliers. Xie Chen said: "Luke, I welcome your friends to the Lakers, but can you convince him not to enter the coaching staff, but to play with us for another year?"
"You let him come here as a player?" Wharton was also shocked, but the first person Xie Chen asked him was your brother-in-law who checked!
Xie Chendao: "Don't he want to take a championship and retire? You let him join us, I can bring him the championship, just like I promised Ray Allen and Odom. I was impressed with him, and our team It does require a veteran to sit in, doesn't it?"
At this time last year, Xie Chen promised a championship for two veterans, Ray Allen and Odom, and then Xie Chen did it. Now, both have officially announced their retirement and left the league.
Luke Wharton thinks about it carefully. Based on his knowledge of Jefferson, he can still play and can still contribute to the team. And if the Lakers want to win, as Xie Chen said, the playoffs Need such experienced veterans to sit in town.
Wharton said: "Well, I will try my best to convince him. In addition, Ci Shiping recently blew up my phone and said that I want to enter the Lakers, what is your attitude?"
"Sign it, anyway, it won't cost much money." Xie Chen and Ci Shiping have been teammates for a year, and found it very happy to get along with this guy.
...
At night, LeBron James had already arrived in New York. Before he came, he had already called the Knicks President Phil Jackson, saying that he wanted to have a private and private chat with the Zen Master. Although the Zen Master knew that James Not interested, but readily agreed.
After James arrived in New York, he went directly to the master's house.
In fact, James and Phil Jackson's relationship is not very friendly, because Phil Jackson once publicly criticized James.
At the time, Phil Jackson said: "For example, James is playing. When he is off the ball, every time he catches the ball, he may move. After he catches the ball, his feet will move. You keep watching it. It happened, there was no organization, no discipline, or the kind of'how should we play this game' attitude. Now players rarely cover, they will push the defensive players away with their hands."
This kind of remark is a great criticism of James, but James did not hate the Zen master for this reason. In fact, in his heart, he likes the Zen master to be far superior to the gods. Moreover, James did not come to have a good relationship with the Zen master today. He just hoped to learn a little about Xie Chen from the mouth of the Zen master.
After the two of them sat down, the Zen Master smiled and looked at James, making James very uncomfortable. After chatting for a while, James began to enter the topic: "I know that after you defeated us and the Warriors and won the championship, You must be looking forward to the future. You may hope that you will win five or six championships in the Knicks. In this way, your greatness will be unmatched. Unfortunately, you haven’t even considered that Xie will leave you? "
The Zen Master seems to have put this matter down and said lightly: "Yes, I haven't counted, Xie is an unpredictable strange player, but Pat Riley counted, when he gave Xie to me Tell me, I can’t control this kid."
James also started frowning: "Xie is really weird, isn't it? We have never encountered such a player. I still train with Xie today. Guess what he said to me, he used a very confident way The tone said to me that it was not the Warriors or other teams that made the Western Conference finals, but the Lakers. I really don’t know why he is so confident. Does he still have a lot of abilities to use? But why? During the Knicks, did you ever ask him about this?"
Master Zen said: "I have always been confused about these problems. Frankly speaking, if he really has abilities that are not useful, I don’t know what those abilities are. He hasn’t confessed to me. He has always been mysterious, and As you know my style, I don’t particularly want to know these things. I just need to make sure he can help us win.

James couldn't help but feel sorry. If it was Pat Riley, now in two years, Xie Chen might have been able to investigate the secrets and all hidden abilities.
Looking at James's expression, the Zen Master knew what James was thinking. The Zen Master smiled and said: "LeBron, I know you must be very tangled and difficult now. Forgive me for criticizing you before, because I saw your history. The desire for status, you want to be the top three players in history and even comparable to MJ, I will not be wrong about this. You already have a lot of MVPs. Now the only difference is the championship, but Xie has prevented you from going for two consecutive years. The road to the finals will leave you little time..."
James's expression became more and more serious, and every word of the Zen Master said what James thought inside.
Master Zen said: "Xie is your biggest opponent in your career. His appearance has stagnated your historical position. I know you want to find Xie's weakness. I know you must be very entangled in whether you should stay with the knight or switch to other. Team. I can tell you a secret now, a secret about Xie."
James immediately came to the spirit, his purpose was to know Xie Chen's secret, was the Zen Master willing to tell the truth? But will he be true? Or just confuse yourself?
James was excited: "Can you tell me? I have always paid you respect!"
Zen Master has planned to say the answer: "Do you remember the end of the regular season this season ~EbookFREE.me~ Do we Knicks deliberately lose?"
"Of course I remember, in fact, the first time I saw that you were deliberately losing, wanting to stay in the eighth position and black eight us, now think about it, if not, we also deliberately lost to give up the first in the east, Let the Raptors be the scapegoat. It’s the Cavaliers who got out of the Black Eight.
James couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He was out of the Eight and the Eastern Conference finals were eliminated. These are completely two concepts. If it’s the former, James The mood must be worse now, I don't know what will happen to the black spots!
The Zen Master smiled slightly: "LeBron, you are wrong, you stubbornly think that Xie Qiu looks at you, so you want to humiliate you in a black way. In fact, it is not at all. He did not have such a deep hostility to you. The reason why we chose I deliberately lost and didn’t go up the rankings. I didn’t mean to intentionally meet you in the first round. We didn’t care about you at the time. The opponents we really care about are the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls! We are trying to avoid them. The team did this."
"What?" James looked shocked! (To be continued.)
