Chapter 106 Another Lifetime Enemy
"Yes, he is like the magician Johnson with a stronger desire to attack!" This was confirmed by the Lord himself.
Bird was about to laugh out loud, but the Magician's next sentence almost made him fall from the position: "He should be a Laker!"
"He belongs to Indiana!" Bird corrected him, "It belongs to you forever!"
"Haha!" the magician laughed, "Larry, I believe there will never be another Larry Bird. But no one can be sure of yours forever, even you, it's hard to believe it?"
"Look, this young man enjoyed the cheers on the scene!"
Fans at Staples Center were once hostile to Xie Hou. He was like a young man who was neither big nor young and a successful senior who criticized him in the media.
Of course, fans will not have any good impression of him.
But the same sentence.
No group is more likely to fall in love with others than sports fans, especially fans in big cities.
Kobe stood there, staring at Xie Hou for a while.
"Even if you refuse to pull me up, I will tell you." Xie Houbi showed his hands, stretched out his index finger with one hand and separated his five fingers with the other. "I got 15 points, so please take back that trash talk."
"I want to limit me to less than 15 points?"
Xie Hou laughed arrogantly: "Those people can only go to aliens to find them!"
"Arthur!"
"Arthur!"
The fans on the scene began to shout Xie Hou's name.
Xie Hou listened, and the fans' welcome was unexpected. He was immersed in it. Countless lights shone on him. Hundreds of reporters pulled the camera and took precious pictures.
Kobe was behind Xie Hou, and he was convinced tonight: not only did he want to seize the throne from the shark, but he also wanted to defeat Xie Hou.
Kobe is 26 years old this year, and Xie Hou is 24 years old this year.
Tonight was their first time meeting on the field. They all felt that some stories would happen between them in the future.
This feeling is particularly strong.
When Xie Hou made a free throw, the faces of Kobe and James appeared in his mind at the same time.
Well, so this is another lifelong enemy?
The head coaches of both sides seemed to see the problem between Xie Hou and O'Neal and intended to separate the playing time of the two.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
In 1998, Kobe was selected as the All-Star starter and challenged Jordan. He was pushed to the bench by the coach in the fourth quarter and watched the game.
Tonight, the same story seems to be about to be staged again.
O'Neal himself is not a starter. Although he loves acting, his playing time generally does not exceed 28 minutes.
The Western Stars team originally had a great advantage. Since Xie Hou was replaced, the Eastern Stars team changed their style of play, with slightly increasing defensive intensity. They focused on cooperation on the offensive end and reduced individual singles.
With Kidd as a master, Xie Hou doesn't need to do too much meticulous work, just eat the burrito that the master drove out.
The united Eastern stars began to be closely connected, and no one knew how Xie Hou did it.
"Celebrities always do their own things, and it's hard for us to see a united All-Star Game." Albert was about to analyze the reasons. "I don't know who united the Eastern Conference stars, but I can be sure that this is why they drew with the Western Conference stars in the first half and overtook their opponents by 14 points in the third quarter."
In the third quarter of the battle, Xie Hou scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He reduced the organization and cooperated with Kidd as smoothly as a person's hands and feet.
Kidd is not good at finishing ability and lacks stable scoring methods. Sometimes he needs a second ball holding point to share his pressure.
His pressure was nothing to Xie Hou.
Xie Hou was willing to put down the burden of the organization and defend with peace of mind. After all, in addition to making Mr. Fat, his goal tonight would also have to get more points than Kobe, so that he would not be arrogant and say that Kobe's score should not exceed 15 points.
"Arthur, it's time for you to shoot a three-pointer."
Kidd felt that he was playing too much at the basket, and if this continues, the Western Conference star will let him shoot.
"No problem." Xie Hou and him were as close as old teammates.
Artest and O'Neal Jr. saw Xie Hou, Kidd, McGrady and others cooperated so well, and they felt really bitter.
Xie Hou has always been to cooperate with them, but they did not actively cooperate with Xie Hou.
Because none of them are the creators who make things happen out of nothing.
Artest and O'Neal Jr. are all stars, but they are all stars with single functions. They need to cooperate with others, so it is difficult to cooperate with others.
Kidd and McGrady, who were cooperating with Xie Hou, were all players with outstanding players and capable of actively cooperating with others.
If you want to ask Xie Hou why they are willing to let go of their mentality of playing entertainment matches and playing this game seriously, the reason is simple.
This group of people has a common demand: it disrupted the OK home show in Los Angeles.
The last All-Star Weekend was held in Los Angeles, which dates back to the 1980s. This year's All-Star Weekend has a deeper significance. Due to the ok contradiction, Kobe's summer package of things pushed him to the forefront. The Lakers focused on the eyes from all over the world. All-Star Weekend is a good observation point.
From this game, they could see that there was a lack of cooperation between ok, and Kobe basically did not take the initiative to talk to O'Neal.
If Kobe hadn't been required to deal with Xie Hou, O'Neal wouldn't have told Kobe.
Xie Hou was sure that his "narrow-minded" teammates were unwilling to lose to the West in the past few years. Among them, Kidd and Iverson were even more defeated by OK in the finals. No one wanted to embarrass ok more than them, so everyone hit it off.
Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he guessed it right. Western stars let Xie Hou out of three-pointer despite Kobe's advice.
He hit the ground and passed the ball.
This smart and cunning young man took the ball outside the three-point line without hesitation and shot at the start. He hit the ball again with a hot touch.
"It's 30 points! Arthur has already scored 30 points!"
"Arthur has only missed 1 goal so far, and with the intensity of his defensiveness, this performance is simply incredible!"
Xie Hou brigade with Kidd when he returned to defense: "Well passed!"
"Go to the table!" Kidd replied.
He must praise this young man for his ability. He has all-round influence rare in history, offense, defense, and all. Moreover, he can see through people's hearts, use other people's desires, and achieve his goals through other people's help.
"You all know that Shaq and I don't deal with it, but I think you who were defeated by him in the finals should not hope that he will be too arrogant."
The young King Arthur asked the Eastern star to serve him in just a simple sentence.
Therefore, Kidd believed that another nickname of Sherlock was the most appropriate one - Louis XI.
Just in time, Louis XI was known as the "universal spider". It just corresponds to Xie Hou's comprehensiveness (universal) and his ability to play people's hearts and turn the situation around, and is very similar to the most insidious and cunning French emperor ever.
Kobe was unwilling to fail, and O'Neal repeatedly asked for a fight.
Peja missed the correct three-pointer, McGrady grabbed the rebound, transported it to the frontcourt, chased and scored three-pointer again, and built a coffin for the Western Conference star team.
There is no big suspense in this game.
There is no suspense, including the winners of the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player.
Xie Hou continued to score and surpassed Kobe by 10 points, and he was not satisfied.
15 points, not too much.
If it weren't for the lack of game time, he even wanted to score 20 points more than Kobe.
In the end, Xie Hou, who was determined to score points in this game where the more he played, the less defensive intensity he had, scored 43 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.
"If there is any regret, my biggest regret is that it is difficult for places like Indiana to realize all his value." The magician said this to Bird, and he should know whether this sentence is right or wrong. "He deserves more attention and a bigger stage."
The magician believed that Xie Hou was thinking the same as him.
Xie Hou was just standing in the center of the venue, with a beautiful Russian beauty next to him, holding the trophy of Amvp and facing the reporters and media.
Bird looked at him, as the magician said, if he started his career in a big city, he would now be the world-renowned superstar.
"Remote Land" like Indiana will more or less weaken his influence.
However, no one can start his journey with the most perfect plan.
No matter where it is, advanced or backward, poor or rich, there are things worth remembering.
