Super All-around Point Guard

Charles Barkley continued: "Chris Xie is the most watched star in the league today. No one can't find this, Shaq, but it hasn't caused much discussion. One is because of his consecutive triple-doubles. The number of games is still behind Westbrook, the other, maybe everyone thinks that three consecutive triple-doubles is his limit."

"No matter how much you praise the greatness and difficulty of a triple-double, you have to admit that the data of a triple-double is hard to come by. You can control the scoring by yourself. What about rebounding? You can't expect your opponent every night. It's very iron, you can't grab most of the rebounds, and Xie Chen's position and height make it more difficult. There are also assists, which depend on luck and the performance of your teammates. These are things you can't do by yourself under control."

"In addition, I don't think it's a big deal to win a large triple-double of 30+10+10 in the regular season. A true all-round superstar should be able to get such a triple-double on the stage of the finals."

Barkley expressed his opinions one sentence after another. Before anyone else could speak, O'Neal continued: "Okay, Charles, we all know that you won 30+10+10 in the finals, but compared to statistics, is it Winning is also the criterion for judging a player. In the game you won the triple-double in the Finals, you lost to Michael Jordan’s Bulls. Westbrook also won four triple-doubles, but it was evenly divided. Thank you, I am optimistic that he can tie Westbrook's four consecutive games and win all four games!"

Barkley smiled: "Paul Pierce and John Wall will not give Xie this opportunity. Everyone underestimated this Wizards team."

...

Barkley is right. Neither Pierce nor Wall are willing to fulfill their opponents. On the contrary, they will do their best to destroy their opponents' dreams. Pierce has always been unhappy with Xie Chen. He knows Xie Chen's thoughts too well. They won another triple-double, and Pierce would never give Xie Chen this chance.

Washington, Pierce and Wall sat in a car before they left after a day of training. Pierce handed Wall a cigar and took one himself. Together, Pierce is obviously more like the boss.

Judging from Pierce's past experience, it is impossible for John Wall to surpass Pierce in terms of momentum. Pierce is a strong guy, so strong that you cannot destroy it.

On September 25, 2000, this was the first day of the new NBA season. Pierce returned to Boston from Los Angeles and started the first day of training. After the training, Pierce and his teammate Tony Batty went to the bar for a carnival, drinking three rounds After that, Pierce walked into the dance floor. At this time, a woman with a sexy figure also came to Pierce's side. After the music ended, Pierce approached the woman. At this moment, Pierce's nightmare came.

A 183cm man appeared in front of Pierce, with fierce eyes and threatening foul language. Pierce didn't know that this guy shot and killed at the age of 14, and had 16 crimes on record, so he reminded the man in front of him to show respect and use him The usual contemptuous eyes looked down at the man.

Then, the man took out a dagger and stabbed Pierce. A group of people surrounded him. As long as Pierce stood up, someone would kick him to the ground. This is the famous "Pierce was hacked 11 times".

It took Pierce just 18 days to return to the Celtics' practice facility, and when doubts arose about him, he wowed everyone with an average of 25.3 points per game.

In March 2001, when the Celtics challenged the Lakers, Pierce scored 42 points. Although they lost to the Lakers in the end, O'Neal said: "Write down my name, I am Shaquille O'Neal, but Paul Pierce is the truth! "

Pierce's "THETRUTH" name has since spread in the league.

After so many years, "Truth" won the championship as he wished. According to his age, it is time to choose to retire, but Pierce is still not satisfied. He still wants to win the championship again, even if the current Wizards are not everyone Optimistic about the winning team, his confidence lies in that as long as he is there, this team has hope!

"John, tomorrow we will have a special opponent. They are number one in the Eastern Conference. Are you afraid?" Pierce asked blankly.

John Wall snorted softly: "I never feel that we are inferior to each other, even if Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are there. Now, Xie is the only one. I can't think of why he wins us?"

Pierce nodded in satisfaction. He likes John Wall's self-confidence very much, and because of John Wall's presence, Pierce feels that this year's Wizards can do something in the playoffs: "You are right. , the heat is currently Xie's team alone, as long as you beat him, you can beat this heat, but just winning is not a victory, you know Xie has three triple-doubles in a row now, I won't let him here Achieving four consecutive triple-doubles."

John Wall was stunned: "What are you going to do? Now the ball is all in the hands of Xie. Frankly speaking, with his ability, I don't think it is difficult to get 10 points and 10 assists."

"Then I'll make him less than 10 rebounds." Pierce let out a puff of smoke and smirked.

...

Not only Pierce and Wall hate Xie Chen, Xie Chen also hates them, especially John Wall, who has long regarded him as an unfriendly rank. Last time in the New York All-Star Game, this guy didn't give a single goal. After passing Xie Chen, and obviously siding with James to oppress Xie Chen, you can see the unfriendliness in his eyes. Afterwards, Xie Chen watched the replay of the video of himself winning the AMVP trophy, and found that John Wall was the only one who didn't clap his hands. , and looked disdainful.

Therefore, the Heat's battle against the Wizards is destined to be extremely fierce and sparks fly.

Soon, it was the day of the game. The Washington Wizards’ home court, the Verizon Center, had not many fans, and the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic. Since the warm-up began, the atmosphere on the court has been inactive, lifeless, basically No one was joking with their teammates. This was the case with Xie Chen, and it was the same with Walpiers. It can be seen that both sides attach great importance to this game, especially a team like the Wizards who wants to compete for the playoffs.

The game finally started, Xie Chen didn't say hello to his opponent, the first goal was taken by the Wizards, John Wall controlled the situation steadily, and found that it was Xie Chen who was defending him!

"I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to defend me, heh, do you think you can restrain me?" Wall sneered, not caring about Xie Chen's defense, and dribbled the ball against Xie Chen's body. Attacked and broke Wall's ball with a slap. Wall seemed a little careless when he came up, but Xie Chen broke the ball at the beginning of the game.

Wall who was robbed was very unconvinced, and immediately rushed forward to catch up with Xie Chen who was going down quickly, and Chalmers also quickly participated in the fast down, he first passed the ball to Chalmers, and the two played one against each other. Playing Wall is absolutely easy.

Chalmers is also very happy, is it time to play again? Chalmers dribbled the ball, and Wall would definitely switch to follow him. Wall was also very anxious, realizing that Chalmers might give Xie Chen an alley-oop, but there was no way around it. It is impossible for Wall alone to prevent this kind of cooperation.

Sure enough, when approaching the basket, Chalmers tossed the ball high, and Wall followed in an instant, regardless of whether he could block it or not. In short, Xie Chen should not be allowed to dunk the ball so easily, let alone play tricks Dunk!

I saw that Xie Chen did jump up, but after receiving the ball in the air, he could dunk the ball directly, but suddenly passed back, even Wall was stunned. Unexpectedly, Chalmers received the pass After hitting the board, he succeeded.

Wall was very upset after being teased: "This guy... he can dunk by himself, but he wants to pass it to his teammates. It seems that Paul Pierce is right. He really went for a triple-double this time!"

After Pierce saw it, he was more sure of his guess, and it was indeed the case. Xie Chen liked the title of "all-round point guard". Assist first, then score.

When it was the Wizards' turn to attack, the Wizards players were more likely to hit inside rather than shoot outside. In this way, Xie Chen's chances of grabbing rebounds became smaller. Xie Chen couldn't help being a little anxious when he didn't grab it.

"It's hard to grab frontcourt rebounds, I can only grab backcourt rebounds, but the Wizards didn't give me a chance." Xie Chen felt that Pierce played very strangely today. He obviously didn't shoot a three-pointer when he had an open three-pointer. To drive the ball to the basket.

However, as long as the Wizards' shooting percentage is not good, no matter whether they play inside or outside, with Xie Chen's ability to grab rebounds, there is a chance to compete.

The Wizards made a shot from the outside line, playing basketball, Xie Chen was about to rush to grab a rebound, but was suddenly bumped by Pierce beside him, Xie Chen almost fell to the ground.

Xie Chen complained to the referee, but the referee ignored it.

Pierce looked at Xie Chen with a smirk on his face, probably secretly having fun in his heart, he is still too tender, you are still far from fighting with me!

Once again, Pierce was not in a hurry to retreat, nor was he afraid of being hit by the Heat on a fast break. He just wanted to stay in the frontcourt and grab rebounds with all the Heat players, and he stuck to Xie Chen tightly, obviously because he didn't want Xie Chen to get the rebound.

"This guy...seems like he doesn't want me to double-double in rebounds." Only then did Xie Chen know Pierce's purpose today.

"I don't need to get a triple-double, but you don't want to bully me with such moves!" Since Pierce is targeting him, Xie Chen must respond!

The next time, when Pierce competed with Xie Chen for a rebound, because Xie Chen had locked his position in advance, Pierce made some small movements with his arm behind him. Pierce just put his arm on Xie Chen's back, and he hadn't pushed yet. Thank you. Chen directly lay on the ground!

The referee blows his whistle!

Pierce was shocked: "What happened!"

Coincidentally, today's chapter happened to be about the truth. Pierce said that he was getting old. Is today's invalid lore the last shot of his career? Just use this chapter to pay tribute to this tough guy with 11 knives in his body! If you like the truth, please like it!
