Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 168 Fighting against the Spurs alone!

keep playing! Must hit Popovich to call a timeout!

Xie Chen's eyes were bright, and he singled Danny Green with his back. When Xie Chen leaned towards Green's body, no one from the Spurs stepped forward to flank, while the other Heat players retreated far away, giving Xie Chen enough space for them to attack. Singles, this is clearly putting Xie Chen and Green one-on-one.

Green is 6 feet 6 inches and 1.98 meters. He has a slight advantage in height, but his weight is not much different from Xie Chen. As a model of a 3D player, in addition to being accurate enough for three-pointers, Green is also good at defense. Green defended before Paul, the defensive effect of Curry is good.

The Spurs usually send Kawhi Leonard to defend strong and vigorous players, such as Luol Deng, and Danny Green to defend Xie Chen, a sensitive and fast player. Even the second feint had no effect, and Xie Chen didn't make it so complicated.

Leaning slowly, just when Green thought that Xie Chen was going to turn over and shoot a jumper, he suddenly turned into a breakthrough attack, but suddenly stopped, and then made a jumper, turning Green around. basket.

4 points! The Heat are only 4 points behind! The game has become suspenseful again! And this is almost the credit of Xie Chen alone!

But Popovich still didn't call a timeout!

"It's not called a timeout even if you score 10 points? You can do it, old man!" Xie Chen was speechless. Did this old guy Popovich completely ignore what he meant?

Popovich is still as calm as a mountain at this time, not only because it is a regular season, but also because he wants to test more about how to deal with the Heat with Xie Chen as the core in this confrontation, but more importantly Yes, he had confidence in his own disciples.

The Spurs' offense is smooth and flowing, the chic passing, the running of the ball and the personal extraordinary skills seem to be natural, but a lot of hard work has been put in behind the scenes. The Spurs' scoring almost all come from the usual one. After boring exercises, they should be rewarded for their efforts. This is Popovich's steadfastness.

Popovich still looked firmly at the players on the field, and he knew that these guys would not let him down.

Parker holds the ball on the left wing, uses Splitter's screen, runs to the right, and then passes the ball to Leonard on the right wing. At this time, Duncan mentioned the high post to screen for Leonard, but Leon Nader did not attack, but transferred the ball to Danny Green in the bottom corner. Under Xie Chen's defense, Danny Green did not take a rash shot, and used Duncan's cover to break through to the outside where Leonard was originally standing. , Attracting two defensive players, at this time, Green hit the ground and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan took advantage of the trend and easily made large and small throws.

The Spurs finally eased the scoring shortage and pulled the point difference back to 6 points.

This is after consecutive air cuts, which caused Duncan to play big and small. The whole tactic looks pleasing to the eye. This is another aesthetic feeling different from the Clippers, the city of lobs. For some old fans, the Spurs' ball looks more comfortable.

The Spurs' offense is like an onion. You peel off one layer, and there is another layer. Layers of layers make you confused, and the Spurs' offense is always divided into steps. When you get a backcourt rebound, your first reaction must be to find Fast attack opportunities, if there is no opportunity to quickly attack, they will speed up their advances to see if they can play a transition attack, and then look for opportunities where the opponent's foothold is not stable.

When it comes to positional battles, the Spurs have too many routines. The Spurs' positional tactics pay attention to the word "movement", less confrontation and more air cuts, emphasizing opportunities, reducing strong attacks, and paying great attention to the fluency of the ball. The offense just now is a very good one. Demonstration, it can be said that he captured the Heat's basket without bloodshed.

"They can always score in the simplest and safest way. No wonder I play with you and the others. I feel tired even if I use my skills without exhausting my energy." Xie Chen couldn't help paying tribute to the Spurs, who persisted for more than ten years, Do the right thing in the most correct way, the opponent of the Spurs deserves respect.

Maybe the Spurs' scoring looks complicated, but it's easy to apportion it to individuals. Maybe the Heat's current offense looks simple, but Xie Chen's every strong play seems very difficult, but Xie Chen still has to do it and keep scoring! Fighting against a team alone is not to be a hero, but Xie Chen must make the opponent feel threatened before he can release his teammates.

It was still Xie Chen's one-on-one attack on Green. Green was 1.98 meters tall. It was extremely easy to use the breakthrough skills of Lowry, a small man. An accelerated breakthrough reached the basket and immediately converted into a layup by Rose. Interfering with Duncan's long arm, after the basketball hit the backboard and landed on the basket, there was a pause, and it slipped out and missed!

"Oh, thank God, the kid didn't get in once!"

"The opportunity for the Spurs has arrived!"

Xie Chen missed a layup, and Duncan grabbed the rebound immediately. In fact, when Duncan got the rebound, the Spurs' offense had already started. Generally, the team's fast break is controlled by the point guard. It was initiated by the guard, but the backcourt rebounds are always received by the inside line first, so it often needs to go through a step of passing the point guard inside, but in the Spurs, this step can be omitted, because Duncan looked up and looked at the ball directly. Passed to the hands of Parker in the frontcourt.

When Parker received the ball and pushed forward, Green and Leonard quickly followed. Green was the first person to receive the pass from Parker, while Leonard was the catcher, and Green missed a layup. It was time to grab a rebound. In the end, Green went inside and attracted the defensive player, but passed the ball covertly to Leonard. Leonard hit the rebound easily.

8 points, the Heat fell behind to 8 points again.

"Hahaha, it is impossible for one person to beat the entire Spurs team. Popovich will teach Chris Xie how to play basketball tonight."

"That's right, from the very beginning Popovich didn't care about Xie, but went to pinch Bosh to prevent him from receiving the ball easily. It seems that Popovich has long concluded that Xie alone can't win the ball. .”

Xie Chen let out a long sigh of melancholy. He was still fighting high just now and wanted to call a timeout for the Spurs, but in such a short period of time, Xie Chen only missed once, and quickly gave the Spurs a chance, and the score opened up again.

Xie Chen thought he could catch up with the score in one go, and then overtake... I have to admit that Xie Chen is very depressed now.

"I just want to see your depressed expression now, cute rookie boy." When seeing Xie Chen's depressed expression, Popovich was happy. He didn't call a timeout and let Xie Chen go, just to see Xie Chen The look of frustration.

"When the score was only 4 points behind, you must feel that you can bring the team to the other side of victory, and from complacency to hopelessness, this sense of gap has a great emotional impact on people, besides, you are still a Rookie, no matter how mature you are, you can't...huh?" Popovich was thinking, when he saw Xie Chen's expression change suddenly, he actually...smiled!

Xie Chen patted his chest hard, and secretly said: "The characteristic of the Spurs is stability, and my characteristic is also stability. I rely on my skills, not my touch. I don't lose to the Spurs in terms of stability, and it doesn't consume physical strength. There will be no fatigue for a long time, and now it is only the third quarter, and we still have a lot of opportunities."

Thinking of this, Xie Chen turned sadness into joy, which made Popovich puzzled for a while: "Why did he suddenly become enlightened? Impossible, no matter how good the emotional control ability is, it is impossible for a player with the best emotional control ability to be in such a short period of time. Adjusted in time, he shouldn't be that much better than Westbrook."

In Popovich's view, if it were Westbrook, it is estimated that a few basins of ice water would not calm the other party down.

"Yes, he is indeed a very mature player. Coach Riley still has such a unique vision. He can select such a player in that pick. However, Chris Xie, even if you are not controlled by emotions, with your own strength Ability, it is impossible to beat my Spurs. In the last quarter, your physical strength will drop, your shots will be inaccurate, your speed and jumping will all change, but my Spurs are still the same. .”

At the end of the third quarter, Xie Chen chased the score again to only 4 points, and in the fourth quarter, the terrible Spurs scored consecutively from the beginning and pulled back to 8 points again. Fortunately, Birdman Anderson showed his strength and frequently grabbed After a rebound in the frontcourt and a tip-up, the situation was stabilized. When Xie Chen played, the Heat were only 6 points behind.

"There's no time left with the Spurs."

As soon as Xie Chen entered the stage, he immediately prepared to fire with full firepower! kill! Cut the spurs off the horse!

After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced to the half court. Facing Ginobili, he pretended to break through with a feint, and then quickly pulled up the shot and hit it!

Three-pointer! Only three points away!

The Spurs attacked, and the ball was passed to Ginobili. Ginobili held it in his hand and paused. Just after he dribbled the ball for the first time, the ball just fell to the floor. The ball was broken and went straight to the frontcourt!

Facing the empty frontcourt, Xie Chen didn't choose to make a layup, but shot when he reached the three-point line!

Another three-pointer! tie!

"Oh, I'll go, this kid is too confident, no one under the basket chooses to shoot a three-pointer!"

"He carried the entire team on his shoulders alone. I can't believe it. If he can lead the team to beat the Spurs, if I am eligible to vote, I will vote for him for MVP!"

Even! Xie Chen roared excitedly! It can be regarded as venting the anger that has been pent up for the whole game. Since the first quarter, the Heat have been chasing and playing, and now they are back on the same starting line. Next, Xie Chen will continue to score and lead the team to victory. !

Then, Xie Chen turned and looked at Popovich.

"Look, look, Xie is staring at Popovich!"

"Xie doesn't seem to regard the five people on the field as opponents, and Popovich seems to be Xie's enemy."

I saw that Popovich smiled and finally called a timeout.

Foretell, next month will break out, and the long-awaited All-Star Tour will officially start on May 1st. Hanyue has carefully prepared a May Day holiday feast for everyone this time. I hope everyone will not miss it!
