Chapter 416 The Playoff Pattern Changes!

James's other way of living may be completely different. He may become less "smart" and do things that may not be right but do whatever he wants like Xie Chen. He may become more focused on basketball itself rather than business. Value, maybe he can play very independently and no longer have to worry about what happens after he misses the shot.

If James had it to do over again, maybe it would really be different, who knows?

Thinking about it now, Xie Chen didn't seem to attract James' attention after he won James' championship. James has always been jealous or envious of Xie Chen, not for Xie Chen's outstanding ability, but for Xie Chen's outstanding ability. Xie Chen's free-wheeling way of playing, and James was envious of Xie Chen who beat up the fans at this moment. How cool would it be to be able to retaliate against those who insulted and provoked him?

Because Xie Chen did what James wanted to do but failed to do for many years, James decided to stand up and help him.

The current situation is very serious. Although the Magic players and the Knicks players have already called a truce, Xie Chen's war with the fans has begun. This is far more terrifying than a fight between players. Although Xie Chen only hit one person, the fans It's a team, but anyone who sees a fan being beaten will come forward.

Back then, during Artest's Auburn Hills incident, after Artest beat a fan, other fans started to fight against Artest, splashing water and throwing bottles. After all, there were too many fans. Once the fans were dissatisfied, there would be Serious consequences may occur.

Sure enough, when they saw the white young man being thrown out by Xie Chen, some fans immediately became angry. Just as a group of people were about to get mad, James suddenly rushed to the audience and shouted: "Calm down! Calm down! Everyone calm down! No matter what Keep your mouth shut and stop saying anything provocative to the players, we should not be enemies."

Paul also stood up to maintain the overall situation: "Shouldn't we have more respect and love for each other? If you don't love us, why do you spend money to watch us play? If we don't respect you, how can we fight? What is the performance of taking one's life?"

I have to say that the appearance of James and Paul, especially James, was so timely and effective. James has been in the league for many years and has been the number one player in the league for many years. He has great prestige, even for the Magic fans at the scene. , are almost all fans of James, and even if they are not, they respect James very much. His words immediately stopped those who were about to throw things and cursed.

Xie Chen was deeply surprised. James and Paul came to Orlando to watch the game. Didn't they just watch their fight? Why did you help yourself instead?

After controlling the situation, James walked towards Xie Chen.

"James." Xie Chen looked at James. James nodded, put his hands on Xie Chen's shoulders and said, "Don't say anything, Cameron. End this quickly and go back to the locker room."

Anthony also nodded, gave James a look of thanks, and then left with Xie Chen, and the Magic players stopped causing trouble.

That night, the entire Knicks team rushed back to New York, and James and Paul were also preparing to part ways and return home.

Orlando seemed particularly quiet tonight. The night was dark and the lights were mesmerizing. James and Paul were standing on the side of a street, with a luxury car parked in front of them and a driver inside to pick them up.

Paul glanced at the dark night sky in the distance and looked up at James: "Thank you for showing me the most exciting NBA fight of this century. Thank you for being so awesome tonight, but also too crazy. I don't know how long he will be suspended." , there is no doubt that this brawl will change the pattern of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Anthony also took action. The Knicks will probably not be able to make the playoffs. Even if they can, one thing is certain, no matter who they face, There will be home field advantage."

James nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As the Cavaliers' biggest opponent, he should be secretly grateful to see such a situation.

However, seeing James' relaxed look, Paul reminded him: "Don't think that the Knicks are no threat to you just because Xie put on a good show in front of you. Frankly speaking, I should be the first person to study Xie. , I always feel that it is not that simple for him to hit the fans today."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" James looked curious.

Paul asked James a question: "What do you think of Xie's emotional control ability?"

James immediately replied: "That is undoubtedly the best in the league. Even when he is extremely angry, his shooting percentage is still not affected. This is difficult for ordinary people to do. In the playoffs last season When they trailed us 0-3, under that huge pressure, his performance was still... terrible! Except sometimes there were problems with free throws."

Paul nodded: "Since he has such a strong ability to control his emotions, beating the fans is not the result of his impulse, but because he wanted to fight and was suspended. Do you still remember why Pat Riley gave up?"

James shrugged: "There are too many reasons, which one do you mean?"

Paul said: "Xie's training method is completely different from other team members. Pat Riley can't stand this. Also, Xie will reveal a new amazing ability every once in a while. Aren't you afraid that he will stay? Are you waiting to deal with you in the playoffs?"

James was suddenly shocked and his expression changed completely. What James was most afraid of was Xie Chen's new ability. This guy was really good at hiding his strength. James was shocked and said, "You mean Xie will use this time to carry out his own personal activities?" Training? It does sound scary to give up some regular season games and train exclusively to improve new abilities!"

Paul smiled, patted James, and said, "Didn't you just help me? He must have a good opinion of you now. Go and see him when you have time. If you want to know what his new ability is, ,goodbye."

Paul had already taken the lead when he got into the car. James stood there for a while, got into the car, and left Orlando. If possible, he must know Xie Chen's new ability in advance.

…

New York, Olympic Tower Building.

The top brass at the NBA headquarters are having an emergency meeting. Adam Silver, the current president of the NBA, is already scratching his head. What happened in Orlando tonight is too difficult for him to handle.

Xiao Hua sat in the center, tapping his forehead constantly. Suddenly he knocked on the table twice impatiently and asked loudly: "What's going on with those people now?"

After a while, a white man replied: "Mr. President, the Orlando hospital just got the news that the fan was only slightly injured and frightened. There is no big problem. Payton was injured in several places, but the injuries were not serious. Seriously, Oladipo was diagnosed with a concussion, and everyone else is fine."

Adam Silver said with deep eyes: "As long as the fans are fine, it doesn't matter if Oladipo stays in the hospital for a few days. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be such a good show today!"

Someone suddenly asked: "President, Chris Xie has disturbed the fans and must be severely punished. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Silver sighed: "When Mr. David Stern was the commissioner of the NBA, Charles Barkley once said that he respected the few bastards who polluted the game far more than he respected the players and those who actually paid to watch the game. Fans. He also said that the league should not punish players, but should throw foul-mouthed fans out of the game. I know we have to please these middle-class people, but Xie is a different player, he is an incredible person, and it is entirely possible for him to change In this league, he alone has raised the status and influence of the entire NBA. He may be a more legendary person than Michael Jordan, so we must ensure that he can appear in the playoffs."

“That provocative fan was permanently banned from the Amway Center in Orlando, Victor Oladipo was banned, Elfrid Payton was banned, Carmelo Anthony was banned, Metta World Peace was banned… As for Chrissie, of course He must also be suspended, but do not specify the number of games he will be suspended for.”

As soon as Xiao Hua finished speaking, someone spoke: "Mr. President..."

Xiao Hua said quickly: "I know many people don't understand Xie's punishment, but this is the only way we can do it now. Xie definitely cannot be banned for the entire season, but if I clearly say how many games he will be banned, there will be fans If you stand up and say that the punishment is too light, it is better not to say it for now and wait for the reaction of the fans before deciding whether to deal with it harshly or lightly."

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Hua finished explaining his decision, the man continued to speak: "Mr. President, I am not denying your decision, but I want to remind you that Ci Shiping did not participate in this fight. Logically speaking, he should not be Suspended.”

"What? He didn't do it? Anthony did it, but he didn't do it?" Xiao Hua was really shocked. In fact, he didn't pay attention to Ci Shiping. He just watched the video of Xie Chen beating a fan repeatedly. Because Ci Shiping passed by With his brilliant record, Xiao Hua took it for granted that it was impossible for him not to participate in such a fight. Who would have thought that this guy could hold back the whole audience without making a move?

Xiao Hua was very angry: "This guy, it would be great if he was the one who beats the fans. Don't you know how to do this for the team boss? Ban him for one game and then we will talk about it. Then we will correct it and give him some money." .”

"Well……"

…

T.NT.

The host said: "I think everyone knows what we are talking about when we sit together. Yes, the game that happened in Orlando tonight was shocking. Xie beat Oladipo, beat Payton, and almost beat the Magic. Everyone, the most serious thing is that he also hit the fans. He is a superstar in the league. What do you think of his behavior tonight? Do you agree? How long do you think he will be suspended?"

Charles Barkley couldn't help but speak first: "I want to say, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, I am very happy tonight. I saw the wildness and madness that only the players of our era had. This is in today's players. I can't find it. I swear I really like Xie more and more. I have long said that the league is too tolerant of fans with extremely poor quality. I can completely understand Xie's mood, because I have done this thing too. However, I can’t stand it, it’s a more commercial league now, but refuse should not be punished too seriously, Adam Silver can’t do that!”

This may be the first time Barkley has defended Xie Chen in this way.

Regarding this matter, O'Neal seemed very calm: "Xie is very cool. Yes, he does what he says, but he has done it before. He is the new superstar in the league. He does not need to do these things to affect himself. , I am now more worried about what the Knicks will do after Xie is suspended for a long time? Can they still make it to the playoffs? Maybe tonight will announce their withdrawal from the championship competition. In addition, I want to say, Xie’s fighting ability is really terrible. Exploded, I think there are few players in the league who can compete with him in fighting, and there will never be a player like Oladipo who provokes Xie again."

Barkley also followed up and said: "You are right. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to Xie. He directly knocked over Oladipo with one elbow, which was comparable to Malone's iron elbow." .”

In addition to old guys like TNT, two people from ESPN also talked about Xie Chen's fight, focusing on whether the Knicks can still make the playoffs.

After returning home, Xie Chen hugged his wife deeply, with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, you are pregnant and I make you worry about me."

Katie shook her head: "As long as you're fine, I don't care whether you hit players or fans on the court. It won't affect my opinion of you at all."

Xie Chen kissed Katie's forehead and continued: "I will be suspended soon. During this period, I may not be able to accompany you. I want to be alone and go to Los Angeles to train."

Xie Chen's current mood and state are indeed very bad. He needs to recover slowly and quietly. As for training, there is indeed a secret training plan. Before the Magic, Xie Chen had already thought about it. Once suspended, he would start Conducting special training, the content of the special training has nothing to do with system capabilities. He trains things that almost all basketball players have never trained.

For example, shooting from behind the backboard.

This kind of tricky angle is the only one Kobe has ever hit, and there are many, many shots that are sometimes accidentally hit. Xie Chen needs to use them for special training to turn them into abilities, because he has all the abilities he should have. , if you want to pursue perfection, you should do this kind of thing.

…

The next day, Ci Shiping came to the gym early in the rare morning. He was very active in training and was so excited that he couldn't stop. When the people were almost here, Ci Shiping called all these people over and transformed himself into Big Brother, educated them: "Brothers, listen, next, Xie will be suspended, Anthony will be suspended, Odom will be suspended, Williams will be suspended, all of us None of the main players you can rely on will be on the court, but you still have me, and I will lead you to play every next game. In the next game, you must completely obey my command, do you understand?"

However, in the face of Ci Shiping's lecture, everyone had no reaction. Rookie Porzingis suddenly said: "Brother, don't you know that you are also suspended for one game?"
