Chapter 789: The comeback battle!

The first person in the league, Xie Chen, announced the results of his retirement in the third season, which shocked the TN.T gang of old guys, especially Xie Chen’s wife Katie was working here, but they were in advance Did not get any wind.
　　
　　 Such a big event happened. The program team had hoped that Katie would personally host the show. However, Katie said that when the Lakers play at home, she hopes to accompany Xie Chen as much as possible, rather than work.
　　
The host apparently became very serious today, and asked the TN.T Celestial Team: "What do you think about Crisser's announcement that he will retire after winning another championship? Do you think he is serious? If so, why? Will this decision be made? Michael Jordan said that he won't feel challenged even when he won three championships. After winning the championship three times in a row, wouldn't it feel like he didn't want to continue playing? You are here + In the novel +www+m, Shaq has had three consecutive championships, so sorry Charles, although I know you have something to say about this, let's let Shaq say a few words first."
　　
　　 After the host finished, several old guys including Charles Barkley laughed. After so many years, Barkley's crownless stalk continues to be used, and Barkley still hurts from time to time.
　　
O'Neill smiled, and then began to become serious, saying: "The biggest goal of every NBA player is to win the championship. After winning the championship, it has already achieved the meaning of a professional career. How many great players have reached the end of their careers. There are no championships. Like this man Charles Barkley around me, how many stars chose to leave his team for many years for a championship ring to switch to his team, even if it is just a substitute player? I want to say that with the total The champion star is completely different from the star who didn't get the championship. For example, D-WADE who switched to the Bulls this season, why he would not continue to sacrifice? Because he already has three championships and an FMVP in hand By the way, he doesn’t need to win the championship anymore. His career is perfect enough, and he is not a triple champion. Few people know how it feels to win the championship for three consecutive years. Coincidentally I have done this feat. After winning three consecutive championships with Kobe, and after three consecutive years of honorary FMVP, I feel that my desire for a championship is not so strong, I became lazy, but Kobe is different, he still wants to continue to win the championship, I Of course I want to take it, but he is not as hungry and thirsty as he is, and he wants to take it as the boss, but me? I have already taken three as the boss! The same is true for today’s Xie, he takes the ball The team leader even single-core has won three championships in a row. What does he need to prove next? Since there is nothing to prove, why can't he choose to retire?"
　　
O'Neill's words have been recognized by everyone. Although not all of the players present have won the championship, not everyone has completed three consecutive championships, but the players who have won the championship and the players who have not won the championship, in The mentality is absolutely different in the desire for championship.
　　
Charles Barkley continued: "I also think that Xie is not kidding, and I think this is something he has planned for a long time. From the content of his declaration of retirement, we can get a message that whether or not to retire, this season is over. By the time, he has already revealed all hidden abilities, and there will be no surprises for everyone next season. That is to say, he has designed which abilities to expose in which season from the first season. The Heat are still a strong team that has reached the finals for many years in a row, including D-WADE, Chris Bosh, and the amazing Hassan Whiteside, so Xie did not use too much ability in that season. In the second season, I went to the New York Knicks with a poor record, but there was still a superstar teammate Cameron Anthony, and then he gradually began to show some more ruthless abilities. This season, one of his star teammates also No, so he showed all his abilities. What a perfect plan, and he retired in the last three consecutive championships. This guy is simply going according to the plot he set!"
　　
Today the smiling Assassin Isiah Thomas also came to the scene, Thomas said: "I am not sure if Xie really wants to retire, maybe he has this idea now, but who knows? Maybe he really won the championship and he does not want to retire. ?You have to look at the money without looking at the championship? He is the most valuable NBA player. How much does he earn a year? How much does he have to earn for the league? If he really retires, it is really a great deal for the league Loss, believe me, Adam Xiaohua will cry. If he really retires, I can guarantee that he will come back again in less than three years. Like Michael Jordan, we can look forward to the sentence together. 'IAMBACK' of the world, haha."
　　
Kenny Smith said: "I think you all talked too early. Xie said he would retire after winning another championship. The point is that he won't win the championship this season! Even I think that as long as KD is in the Warriors, Xie As long as there are no helpers around him, he has no chance to win the championship in recent years!"
　　
O'Neill said: "Kenny, we can't predict the future, but we must make the best and worst plans, that is, now we must assume that this season Xie will win the championship and retire, then, from From now on, every game of Xie, every away game, will be a tour!"
　　
O'Neill is right. Although he knows that the Lakers have a low probability of winning this season, every game of Xie Chen will have the feeling of watching one less game, especially those who have played once may not have any more. Opportunities against opponents.
　　
　　Coincidentally, the Pistons who are about to face are such opponents.
　　
　　 This is the Lakers' last game against the Pistons in the regular season. Given that it is difficult for the Pistons to break out of the East to become the Eastern Conference champion, that is to say, if Xie Chen really won the championship and retired this season, then this game is Xie Chen's last game against the Pistons.
　　
　　The Zhuang Andre Drummond thought it was incredible. Xie Chen was two years later than him. Why is it earlier than his retirement?
　　
Xie Chen has always been a player that Drummond appreciates. This year's slam dunk contest lost to Xie Chen can be said to be persuasive. He even worshipped Xie Chen as a god, and he has thought about following Xie Chen mixed championship. !
　　
　　……
　　
　　 That night, Staples Center.
　　
　　 Today CCTV also broadcast the ball, originally did not intend to transfer the ball, but Xie Chen's retirement decided to make CCTV change his mind, the back will also transfer as many as possible to the Lakers game.
　　
The Pistons are currently ranked seventh in the East, only one month away from the end of the regular season, they must fight for every victory, even if they know that this may be the last time against Xie Chen, it will never let the Lakers win easily ball.
　　
When Xie Chen appeared in the arena, the audience was as lively as the All-Star Game. Xie Chen had missed two games. This was his comeback battle, and he had a decision to retire, everyone's mood Very excited.
　　
"It's really sad. When I was close to the end of the regular season last year, I was very sad because Kobe was about to retire. Finally, I was looking forward to a new superstar. But I didn't expect Xie to decide to retire. It's really true to be a Lakers fan. It's miserable."
　　
　　 "Fortunately we can still see Xie in the playoffs, but I really don't know if I should hope the Lakers win the championship. If I win the championship, I won't see Xie playing anymore..."
　　
　　The mood of the audience is different from the excitement in the past. They are slightly sad tonight. There are even many fans holding a sign saying that Xie Chen will play in the Lakers for ten years before retiring.
　　
　　With the decision to retire and return to the arena, Xie Chen's mood is also very different.
　　
"Is this the last time I played the Pistons?" Xie Chen looked at his opponent on the field, thinking that since it may be the last time, then this game must make these Pistons guys impressed themselves Just fine.
　　
As soon as he came up, Xie Chen went straight to the basket and challenged Drummond head-on. Drummond was also not afraid and did not flinch. He jumped up and faced up. Xie Chen's last attack was still flying James, this time it was Faced with a strong opponent, everyone is very curious, will there be such a shocking scene again, will Drummond be knocked down like James?
　　
Xie Chen has used O'Neal's dunk ability once, which has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble. Because the difference between the two is too great, Xie Chen decided not to use it anymore. Even at the critical moment of the playoffs, Drummond There is no grievance with Xie Chen, and he will naturally not deal with him in such a brutal way as soon as he comes up.
　　
Xie Chen and Drummond did not collide, because Xie Chen did not intend to harden himself. After cheating Drummond, he gave a light pass to Mozgov next to him, Mozgo The husband got up and dunked directly under the empty basket.
　　
　　 "You are too easy to be deceived, man." Xie Chenchong said Drummond.
　　
　　Drummond also smiled, which aroused his fighting spirit.
　　
　　 Then, Xie Chen slipped in the bottom line, jumped up the dunk at a fast speed, Drummond reached out again too late, Xie Chen dunked a 2+1.
　　
　　 "You react too slowly, man." Xie Chen said to Drummond again.
　　
　　 Before playing with the Lakers, Drummond didn’t remember Xie Chen loves to talk to himself so much, unless someone provokes Xie Chen first, otherwise, if he is not familiar with Xie Chen, Xie Chen will not have that time to talk to you.
　　
　　Drummond realized that Xie Chen might feel that he was facing the Pistons for the last time. Drummond couldn't help but ask: "Hey, are you really going to retire? Will this be the last time we have played in our career?"
　　
　　 "It may be." Xie Chen said lightly.
　　
Drummond made a sad expression, which is too unacceptable. The two of them are so young players, but they have been fighting together for three seasons, and have not encountered in the playoffs. field.
　　
"If you really retire this season and retire, those guys at this year's draft will cry out." Drummond said, he has played three seasons with the most all-round player in history, but 2017 What about rookies of the year? They may be looking forward to entering the NBA to play against Xie Chen, but when they come to the NBA, they find that the greatest player has left.
　　
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Cameron Anthony, the golden generation in 2003, all regarded Michael Jordan as an idol, and it happened that they were selected into the NBA in the summer after Jordan retired in 2003. It happened that there was no chance. Playing the game has become a pity for many fans.
　　
　　 Xie Chen decided to retire, maybe I can imagine the feelings of the players in the league, but I can't imagine the future superstars who have not yet entered the NBA.
　　
　　 Xie Chen performed very well tonight, dunks, super three-pointers, unresolved back jumpers, left-handed layups, all kinds of moves and abilities all showed up, he just wanted these opponents to remember Xie Chen's all-around!
　　
Seeing that the score was pulled away a little bit, the Pistons players gradually realized that Xie Chen who had just come back, Xie Chen who had just decided to retire, at this time the Lakers were by no means able to beat them, since Xie Chen wanted these Pistons players Remember him, then they also want Xie Chen to remember himself!
　　
　　Drummond showed a domineering ability in rebounds, and even completed a make-up on Mozgov's head. Not only that, Drummond even hit a half-time buzzer three points!
　　
Last season, Drummond made more than one super three-pointer, all of them were outside halftime. Today, in the face of the strongest three-pointer in the league, Drummond does not know if he wants to pay tribute or what, he takes the initiative The role of the ultra-long pitcher.
　　
　　Drummond also got his highest score and highest rebound this season.
　　
　　 Xie Chen's comeback battle tonight, facing the opponent's last opponent Pistons, played 47 points and 14 assists and 7 rebounds, and finally led the Lakers to defeat the Pistons and stabilized the first seat in the West.
　　
Today’s victory over the Pistons~EbookFREE.me~ made many Lakers fans relieved. I didn’t know when Xie Chen could return. If the Lakers keep losing like this, I’m afraid the West will soon be caught up by the Warriors. .
　　
　　 "I still only lose 7 games. I don't know if the Lakers have a chance to break the regular season record. Xie decided to retire, so maybe every game will be played as the last game. In this way, the Lakers still have a chance!"
　　
　　 "Unfortunately, there are still a lot of games in the back. If there are only a few games left, then I firmly believe that Xie will definitely lead the team to break the record, at least they can even."
　　
　　 The Lakers fans at the scene still talked about the regular season record at the meeting. I am afraid that they will only stop fantasy when the Lakers lose to 9 games.
　　
After the game, Drummond first stepped forward to say goodbye to Xie Chen. Drummond and Xie Chen hugged each other deeply and said with emotion: "Thank you, if this game is our last match, I just want to Say, I tried all my strength!"
　　
　　 Xie Chen was also very moved after hearing it. At this time, he felt his value in the hearts of other players in the league. In order to prevent him from leaving regrets, Drummond did so... (to be continued.)
