Jordan and Pippen are a perfect match on the court, but after retiring, the two rarely appear in the public eye together, and there is no point in talking about how the relationship between the two is private, after all, the two have gained too many things together, and Xie Chen still feels very wonderful to see the greatest duo smiling in front of him.

The last time I saw Jordan and Pippen, it was in the Legend Challenge, at that time, they were at the peak of their lives, heroic and charming, and now, when they laughed, they were wrinkled, and Pippen looked older than Jordan, I don't know how many Bulls fans back then sighed.

"Michael, Scott Pippen, how did you end up together?" Xie Chen hurriedly put down the basketball and walked over, and the guys who accompanied him in training were also pleasantly surprised to see Jordan and Pippen.

Xie Chen was not curious about Jordan's visit, the two had been in contact by phone, and Jordan also said that if he had the opportunity to go to Los Angeles, he would definitely go to Xie Chen.

Jordan smiled: "It's a very coincidental thing, I met him on the plane, and then I came to look for you together, look at you sweating profusely, training very hard, I'm thinking about whether to take a photo of you and send it to reporters for them to report." ”

Xie Chen rarely had this kind of exhaustion, because in the past, he used system ability, and he did not consume much of Xie Chen's physical strength, but now the special training plan is to consume Xie Chen's own physical strength.

"Are you practicing your earth-shattering dunks? Or a three-point shot in another shooting stance? I was talking to Michael about your All-Star Star, and he said he wouldn't give you a high score, and I think you're going to have to bribe him. Pippen laughed.

Xie Chen smiled: "Before I dunk, I will take out all the scorecards below 10 points in his hand." ”

Because Jordan and Pippen also had itchy hands and wanted to exercise, the two also changed their clothes and played with Xie Chen for a while. Although Jordan and Pippen are in a competitive state that cannot be compared with when they played in the past, the tacit understanding between the two is still the same, and the Zen master sees Xie Chen and Anthony as the next pair of Jordan and Pippen, but Xie Chen believes that he and Anthony have not yet reached this level of tacit understanding.

When I think of the Bulls duo, I can't help but think of the problem of facing the Bulls in the playoffs, and the Chicago Bulls will definitely be able to enter the playoffs. For the Cavaliers and other teams, maybe the Bulls are not terrible, but for Xie Chen, the Bulls are simply the team he is most afraid of encountering, of course, if the Los Angeles Lakers also have a chance to compete for the championship, then the Lakers have to add, even if Kobe Bryant is old.

Playing away is bound to meet a legendary team, the last time against the legendary Bulls. The defeat was very miserable, and there was no hope of winning at all, Xie Chen wanted to know if there was any way to check and balance this team, if there was to say that the one who knew that team best was none other than themselves.

Xie Chen suddenly invited the two: "Wait a minute, I'll go to T.NT TV to record a show, do you want to go and have fun together?" ”

"DID YOU SAY THAT OPENCOURT? I'd be happy to do so, as long as the people there don't object. Pippen laughed, referring to the smiling Assassin Thomas. Thomas once publicly bombarded Pippen in this show as just a second child, and he was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Thomas. Last summer, Pippen also had an online war with O'Neal, and speaking of which, Pippen made a lot of enemies there, and Pippen didn't even mind.

As Jordan, he actually disdains to participate in this kind of show. The people in it, Charles Barkley and Jordan have a good relationship, O'Neal and Thomas have nothing to do with each other, at most they have played together in the past.

Jordan hesitated, but agreed.

When the director of the show learned that Xie Chen had invited Jordan and Pippen. It's so exciting, Jordan and Pippen, the two gods, are definitely the supreme glory to come to this show, the director has promised Xie Chen that the content of the show is completely arranged by Xie Chen himself, and they will not interfere in any way.

When they arrived at the TV station, Jordan and Pippen greeted these old friends and rivals very happily, and the picture was even a little touching.

At the beginning of the show, Xie Chen faced the camera and said: "Welcome to this episode of the show, this time it is still hosted by me, and I also invited two heavyweight guests, let us welcome Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen." ”

The scene began to cheer, everyone spared no effort to clapp, Jordan and Pippen smiled and waved, and then, without waiting for Xie Chen to speak again, Jordan was the first to speak: "Before our MVP host starts, I want to say two words, Thomas, I have watched one episode of your show, I want to say two words of justice for my former good teammates, you said that he is nothing without me, you say that he is not qualified to say 'you can't join the team', I think you don't have enough respect for him, we are mutually accomplished, indispensable." ”

Jordan is very serious, he is very scary when he is serious, if you don't know Jordan, you may only think that this is a terrible old man, but anyone who has been an opponent with Jordan knows what Jordan's serious expression means.

Thomas's face was ugly, he didn't expect Jordan to be willing to help Pippen at this time, Thomas has always been Qiao Blowing in the show, and it is even more impossible to argue with Jordan when he sees a real person, Thomas quickly got up from his seat, and quickly smiled and bent over Jordan and Pippen and said: "My fault, Michael, Scott, please forgive me and don't abuse me anymore!" ”

Thomas's expression and words were exaggerated, and everyone else laughed, Jordan and Pippen also laughed, and then, Jordan looked at O'Neal again: "You said your strongest Lakers lineup can beat us by 50 points?" ”

Everyone laughed again, looking at O'Neal with a good show attitude, O'Neal once released wild words, saying that the Lakers' all-time best lineup and the Bulls' all-time best lineup PK can win 50 points, when Pippen stood up to fight with O'Neal, Jordan ignored him, and now I see O'Neal, I didn't expect Jordan to still remember this matter, and he actually asked O'Neal's head in person, and it was still on the show!

O'Neill suddenly pretended to be stupid: "What? Someone said we could beat you by 50 points? How did I not know about this? ”

The audience laughed back and forth, Xie Chen couldn't help but be conquered by Jordan again, it was really powerful and domineering, as soon as Jordan opened his mouth, no one dared to pretend to be forced in front of him, this is the deterrent effect brought by Jordan winning 6 championships in the past. Xie Chen secretly swore that he would also compete for the championship again, and only with enough honors would others recognize you.

If O'Neal has more championship rings than Jordan's and more FMVP than Jordan's, I believe that with O'Neal's character, he will not admit defeat in this kind of thing.

After saying O'Neill. Jordan looked at Charles Barkley again, and then called Barkley's name, Barkley made a surprised and innocent expression, how can there be me? I didn't say anything disrespectful to you!

Who knows, Jordan smiled and said: "Charles, your hosting is as bad as your ball skills." ”

Jordan took the opportunity to tease his old friend Barkley, who smiled helplessly and asked Xie Chen, "Okay, let's start today's show." Thank you, you brought the two of them here, I guess today's topic must have something to do with them. ”

Xie Chen nodded: "That's right, today's theme is, think of yourselves as me, each of you is Chris Xie, in this Knicks team, if you meet the 72-win Bulls team led by Jordan and Pippen." What can be done to win? ”

This time, Xie Chen's theme was even more strange, and it made them all change their identities. Thinking about the problem from Xie Chen's point of view, and the imaginary enemy is not James's Cavaliers, but the Bulls in the past.

At this time, Pippen asked, "Do Michael and I want to fantasize like this?" ”

Xie Chen replied: "Yes, you also have to think about me, how to deal with you in the past." ”

Xie Chen's question was thrown out for a short time. But no one answered first, the scene was very quiet, and everyone looked thoughtful, Kenny Smith first pointed at Thomas: "Aren't you usually excited when you talk about Jordan?" Why didn't you talk today? ”

Smith laughed, Jordan himself present. He was really embarrassed to speak: "Because Jordan and Pippen are here, I don't know how to say it, if there is anything wrong, I hope you don't mind." My opinion is that Xie's Knicks are not a historical-level strong team, but that Bulls is, there is a gap between the two sides, at that time the Bulls' triangular offensive system has become more and more mature, Jordan is also willing to believe in his teammates, and even believe in the offensive selection point in the fourth or fifth place, so it is useless to just choke Jordan alone, Scott Pippen, of course, is also very good, the Bulls team can strangle any team's No. 1 to No. 3 position, the three of them are too powerful defensively, and Xie's Knicks, Relying on Xie and Anthony, I think the two of them are going to be very troublesome to attack and it will be very difficult to win. ”

Thomas still chose to brag about Jordan, and everyone else had the same opinion, basically talking at length about how strong the bull was, and did not say the actual way to deal with the bull, which was not the result that Xie Chen wanted.

Finally, it was the turn of Jordan and Pippen to speak.

Pippen was the first to speak: "If I were you, if I had met the same team back then, I would have tried my best to break through their defense, and at that time, I would have doubted myself, and when you kept scoring goals on my head, I might have thought that I couldn't defend you at all." ”

"Pippen will doubt himself...... This is a weakness that can be exploited. Xie Chen remembered it in his heart.

In the end, Jordan spoke, Jordan held his chin and thought for a long time, he really put himself in it: "If I were Chris Shet, if I had that accurate and fast three-point shot, so much physical strength, good physical confrontation and step-back jumper, and I didn't have too many talented teammates to rely on, I would definitely hold the game tightly in my own hands and never let it get out of it for a moment." As for that Bulls team, Jordan and Pippen at that time, as well as Rodman, looked perfect, but it was not without flaws, and although this Knicks team as a whole was not strong, it definitely had a chance to win. ”

"Just now I really put myself in it, I'm Xie, and then I met that Bulls, and I would personally defend Jordan, which is myself, and then talk trash to him, and he will definitely spew trash talk to me, and then I will teach him a lesson with three points, and then say to him, 'Look, I scored three points again', and I will deliberately provoke him, and there are two consequences of anger, the first is to make him mess up, and the second is to make him explode even more. I never thought about how to deal with myself, if there was a way, then I would probably keep the score in the lead, lead from start to finish, and not have a comeback in the middle, especially in the second half, otherwise I would have caught up and settled the game at that time. ”

Xie Chen listened very carefully to Jordan's words, because every sentence may decide the fate of the Knicks playoffs this year.

"Lead the score from beginning to end, don't give Jordan a chance to overtake......" Xie Chen also kept this sentence in mind, this was all confided by Jordan and Pippen themselves, they are the ones who know their weaknesses best, knowing Jordan and Pippen's weaknesses, Xie Chen will know where to start when he deals with the Bulls again.

Since this time, Xie Chen has never come to TNT to host the show, these two hosts, let Xie Chen gain a lot, first the copy of the squad, and then the method of dealing with the strongest opponent in the playoffs, and Xie Chen's special training ability is getting better and better, this ban, Xie Chen really gained a lot.

However, the team is still in the shadow of a losing streak.

Thirteen consecutive defeats, everyone in the team is listless and has no motivation, not at all like a team that can compete for the championship this year, Xie Chen really can't wait, he took the initiative to call Adam Xiaohua and ask when he will be able to come back, but Adam Xiaohua also asked Xie Chen to wait for the final results of the All-Star vote.

Then, while waiting, the Knicks lost, lost and lost!

Sixteen consecutive defeats!

The Knicks lost sixteen games in a row! It's become a joke in the league, not to mention the championship, some people think it's a miracle that the Knicks can still enter the playoffs!

The Knicks' losing streak has caught up with the 76ers, and they are already ranked third from the bottom of the Eastern team, only a little better than the Nets and the 76ers, and the Magic, Wizards, and Celtics, which seem to be destined not to enter the playoffs, are all ranked above the Knicks!

Knicks fans have been disappointed in the last month or so. None of them knew when this cold winter would pass.

Finally, on January 24, the final voting results of the 2016 Toronto All-Star Game were released!

Xie Chen beat Curry and James to become the ticket king of the All-Star Game for the second year in a row!

Less than ten minutes after the results were announced, Xie Chen received a call from Adam Xiaohua.

"Get ready to play!" (To be continued......)
