The two top scorers were injured, which made the manager of the Timberwolves furious.
He immediately protested against the referee, Black Whistle." That Asian guy just now is a butcher. Didn't you see that he injured Towns with one kick?”
The referee ignored the Forest Wolves 'manager. They could clearly see from the replay that Towns had made the first move, and that Higgins' shot could have been called two plus one. They were already giving the Forest Wolves face by not calling it.
However, the other party still wanted to take advantage of him, which made the referee a little angry.
"Manager Mitchell, you'd better stop what you're doing, or I'll expel you from the game!”The referee said rudely.
That stopped Coach Mitchell from continuing to roar, but he was still angry and immediately smashed the tactical board down.
After that, the two sides continued to play. After this incident, the Timberwolves basically did not have any main players on the field. Their rookies were basically beaten up by the Rockets.
The Forest Wolves were a weak team with no strength. This season was mainly to let the two top scorers hone themselves. They did not expect to be injured in the summer league.
The Rockets 'head coach, D'Antoni, still wanted to replace Chen Xiao. He was afraid that the Timberwolves' players would be too aggressive because of what had just happened and secretly play tricks on Chen Xiao.
This was just right. Pei En kept using small tricks to fight against Chen Xiao, constantly pulling his clothes.
However, Chen Xiao was not a pushover. With his bad temper, he would directly take the ball into the reasonable collision zone and knock the opponent a few meters away.
He didn't like to do things like this, but he wasn't afraid of things either. In the face of any provocation, Chen Xiao would fight back head-on.
The Forest Wolves were not happy in this game. After the two top scorers left the field, the Forest Wolves were beaten by the Rockets led by Chen Xiao.
The Rockets played 100 points to 78 points and won the summer league game by 22 points. It could be said that they beat the Timberwolves.
After the game ended, the fans reluctantly walked out of the stadium. Today's game was definitely worth it. They had seen Chen Xiao's amazing performance many times.
Regardless of whether it was the bloody Viggins, the knock-off Viggins, or the kick that knocked Towns to the ground, as well as Chen Xiao's performance in the later few quarters, he was definitely an MVP.
In this match, Chen Xiao had gotten 32 points, 18 rebounded and 5 blocked shots. He was definitely at the level of an ancient mythical beast.
After the game, D'Antoni talked to Chen Xiao alone."Chen, I think you should restrain your temper in the future. Although nothing happened this time, if you encounter the other party's entire team and beat you up one day, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?”
Chen Xiao nodded." Don't worry, Coach. As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to attack, I'll do it!"”
Of course, if Chen Xiao took the initiative to fight, he would definitely be an earth-shattering existence. Even Mad Dog Beverly was pressed against the wall by him alone. As long as he used a little strength, the other party's neck might be broken by him.
Chen Xiao even felt that he could go boxing during the off-season! That was not bad.
"Alright, Chen, don't worry. With your strength, you'll definitely be in the starting lineup in the regular season. I have high hopes for you. If you can develop your dribbling skills, I'll definitely give you unlimited shooting rights!”D'Antoni said in admiration of Chen Xiao!
"I'm still practicing hard on that dribbling. I believe I'll be able to do it soon!”Chen Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, his dribbling skills were better than before. From not daring to dribble at first, he now dared to dribble a few steps in the low post and then turn around to hit the board.
Today, he had used this move many times to beat Payne. He only needed to dribble the ball to the right, turn to the left, and then do a 45-degree fadeaway jump shot, which directly made the defensive player who was facing him collapse.
Even if Payne followed his footsteps, it was useless. This kind of 45-degree backboard was very difficult to solve. He just found a good angle and threw it lightly. The basketball would make two sounds. Bang, shua!
However, this match caused an extraordinary sensation in the country. Because of Chen Xiao's tough performance, many fans supported him. Some girls even took the initiative to join Chen Xiao's fan team.
Zhang Meng, who was secretly watching the live broadcast at work, couldn't help but worry."Chen Xiao won't be bullied by others, right? When the time comes, will there be a lot of big black guys coming to beat him up?”
"No, hurry up and call him!”Zhang Meng was very worried about his safety.
He immediately picked up his phone and made an international call.
Three seconds later, the other party picked up the call.
"Xiao, are you okay?" Zhang Meng asked anxiously."Aren't you playing basketball? Why did you fight with him?!"”
Chen Xiao signaled," It's okay. This kind of thing rarely happens. The most important thing is that he took the initiative to provoke me. Don't worry. With my physique, you know that no one can beat me!”
"Bah, I was worried about you. But Xiao, you better not cause trouble. I remember that there are guns in America!”Zhang Meng heard from her colleagues that America was very chaotic!
"Okay, I will be careful. Thank you, Zhang Meng!”Chen Xiao suddenly remembered that the United States had guns, so he kept his invincible mentality.
After the two of them hung up, he returned to the hotel.
Because it was the NBA Summer League, all the players basically stayed in hotels.
The Rockets faced the Knicks next.
In the match against Porzingis, Chen Xiao had repeatedly relied on his basic skills to beat the tall shooter. This made many fans call him Rookie No. 21, implying that he was about to rule the league like Duncan.
This was because the Stone Buddha Duncan was the representative of the peak of debut. Even James was not considered the peak of debut because he did not have a basket at the beginning. Only Duncan was. From 1997 until now, the other party had been a powerful inside player in the league.
Just like that, Chen Xiao continued to educate the rookies who had been drafted in the NBA Summer League for 15 years. Whether it was Okafor, the 76ers 'best player, or Jokic, the Nuggets, they were all beaten by him.
By the end of the summer league, Chen Xiao's statistics were 25 points, 17 rebounding and 4 blocked shots. He was the MVP of the summer league.
However, after the summer league ended, the team had to start getting ready for the new season.
The core of the team, Pengci Deng, had also returned to his form from the nightclub and began to enter the game.
However, when Pengci arrived at the arena, everyone no longer revolved around him. Instead, they revolved around Chen Xiao!
