Super All-around Point Guard

"It's really not easy to beat Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Belinelli, James Harden and other outstanding three-point shooters in the three-point contest!"

"To score 29 points in the three-point contest, of course he is a top player. He is as terrifying as Stephen Curry!"

Pelicans fans and players have gradually realized that Xie Chen's three-pointer is the most threatening weapon, and it is also the only weapon Xie Chen can use at present. Only by guarding against Xie Chen's three-pointer can the Heat's counterattack be contained !

Coach Spoel smiled slightly on the sidelines: "Are you going to start restricting Xie's three-pointers? Very good, I want to see if you can really do it."

When it was discovered that the Pelicans' defense was clearly aimed at Xie Chen's three-pointer, Xie Chen handed over the ball and let Luol Deng play with the ball. Sang stepped forward to pick and roll for Luol Deng, forming a partial three-on-three. The other two players all stand outside the left three-point line.

Since Luol Deng is in very good condition today, his shooting percentage is very threatening, and it is also the biggest scoring point for the Heat. The Pelicans dare not take it lightly. It's not shrinking back. If Davis shrinks back, Luol Deng will jump up and shoot directly.

At this time, Hassan went to the basket, and Evans, who was defending Xie Chen, had to switch to the basket to defend. Xie Chen happened to be empty, and Luol Deng's height and passing the ball accurately passed to Xie Chen's hands. , Xie Chen hit a three-pointer again.

Xie Chen didn't need to do anything at all, he just stood on the baseline and waited to catch the ball.

Then, the Pelicans never gave Xie Chen an open shot. Either Hassan jumped up and dunked directly, or other players were open, or Luol Deng jumped up and shot directly.

Since the Heat's shooting percentage during this period was very impressive, the score was tied at once.

By the end of the second quarter, the Heat went from behind to overtaking the score again!

The fans couldn't help feeling that Xie Chen was really terrible. As long as he appeared on the field, even if he didn't need to do anything, just standing on the bottom line, he could bring such a great help to the team. Fortunately, Luol Deng played well today. The defensive players clung to Xie Chen tightly, and he and Hassan shouldered the responsibility of saving the whole team without making up the defense.

In the third quarter, still the same, the Pelicans took the lead first. After Xie Chen came out, he made a containment and let Luol Deng play. Coupled with the unexpected three-pointers from time to time, the Pelicans' lead was once again in vain, and once again. Overtaken by the Heat.

After the three quarters, Pelicans coach Monty was completely furious!

"How many three-pointers did you ask Xie to shoot tonight? Do you want him to think this is a three-point shooting contest! According to the current winning percentage and record of our team, if we can make it to the playoffs, then 80% of them will follow In the Warriors matchup, Xie and Stephen Curry's three-point moves are exactly the same, even Xie's three-pointers can't be defended, how can we fight the Warriors then?"

Coach Monty is far-sighted and seems to have seen the playoffs against the Warriors. He is reminding the players to pay attention to this game, because Xie Chen is the same player as Stephen Curry in a sense. A chance for playoff practice.

In the fourth quarter, the Pelicans really rekindled their fighting spirit and really played their own strength and tactics.

Asik gets the ball in the high post and plays slowly against Hassan as Evans and Davis set a double screen for Gordon, who cuts to Asik from the left corner. .

At this time, the Pelicans player in the right corner went out to clear the space, and Asik immediately cut in to the basket. Just when Gordon and Asik took away all the defensive attention of the Heat, Gordon made a move from the right. He rushed to the basket, but passed the ball to Davis on the left. Davis had no defensive player in front of him and made an easy layup.

Afterwards, Evans used his personal ability to attack, and Davis made a mid-range shot. With one minute left in the game, the Pelicans still led by 4 points. Looking at this momentum, the Heat are likely to lose this game tonight. game.

Luol Deng has scored 35 points at this time, the highest in the team. This is not easy for him. Xie Chen also knows that at this time, he can no longer rely on him alone. It is time for him to stand up and end the game .

Luol Deng looked at the score out of breath, with his hands on his hips, with a look of resignation on his face, could he still not be able to lead the team to victory after working hard for the whole game? Luol Deng felt a little angry.

At this time, Xie Chen stepped forward and patted Luol Deng on the back: "Hey, buddy, what's the matter? The game is not over yet, you played well tonight, we will still win."

Although Luo Er Deng nodded in response, his face was still embarrassed. Time was running out and he was still two goals behind. How should he chase? It seems that his ability has been exhausted, and Xie Chen can't immediately return to the previous killing mode. The defense can be defended, so who will finish the scoring?

And just when the confidence of the Heat was shattered, when Hassan was fighting for a rebound, he was grabbed by Davis because he was not convinced, and he pushed Davis directly to the sidelines with both arms from behind! Davis fell to the ground with a bang!

The scene was shocked, even Xie Chen was stunned, how could Hassan be so impulsive? Make such a mistake at such a critical moment?

The referee directly gave Hassan a second-level malicious foul and was immediately sent off!

Xie Chen looked at Hassan's exasperated look, and secretly blamed himself that he should have been aware of the change in his teammates' mood and comforted him, maybe such a thing could have been avoided.

Under the boos of the audience, Hassan walked out of the field. At the critical moment, the Heat lost a reliable inside pillar. At this time, perhaps because of the complaints for Davis who was elbowed, everyone cheered and celebrated the victory ahead of time. up.

In the last 50 seconds, the Heat trailed by 5 points and Xie Chen took possession of the ball!

At this moment, Xie Chen's heart was very quiet. He couldn't hear the harassment at the scene, and he couldn't hear those people pointing at him. After the All-Star, he hadn't proved himself, and he hadn't led the team to win a game yet. victory.

His scoring title was robbed, the MVP second place was robbed, the league's best record was robbed, and even, in some people's eyes, his rumored star girlfriend Scarlett also abandoned him and go.

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots, Scarlett clarified our relationship because she cared about my reputation, making it look like I was dumped in your dirty mouth!"

"Why did so many things happen before and after the All-Star break? Why did Bosh go to Riley to confirm his status? Why did I sprain in the first game after the All-Star break? Why did Bosh start the playoffs immediately, Was found to have a blood clot in the lungs? All this happened too fast, I seemed to fall from the peak to the bottom, no one believed in me anymore, didn’t they believe in the Heat?"

"James, you said that the real start of the regular season is after the All-Star Game, okay, I'll compare with you from your 'start'!"

Whoosh! Xie Chen quickly passed through Evans' defense like a gust of wind, and went straight to the basket! This time, Xie Chen didn't hold back any more, and went straight to the basket. Davis's eyes were panicked, and he blocked it anxiously, and got a foul all at once.

Xie Chen made two free throws.

Evans walked up to Davis and said, "Don't be too afraid of this kid's layup. The ball just now didn't need to be fouled. With his current state, it is difficult to score."

Davis nodded: "But I was quite worried when I saw him break through you just now."

Evans did not deny it: "Yes, his instant start-up speed is still there, but his sustained ability should not be good. There is no doubt that he will not be able to play the previous explosive power in this game!"

Xie Chen made two free throws and the Heat trailed by 3 points with 40 seconds left.

The Pelicans handed the ball to Anthony Davis. Davis deliberately wasted time. When the offensive time was about to come, he stormed the basket and shot at the last minute. Capped the opponent!

The last 20 seconds! The Heat must score!

Get off! Luol Deng and Xie Chen had already started to play quickly, and the ball was quickly passed to Xie Chen!

"Be sure to defend his three-pointer!" Coach Monty yelled from the sidelines!

When Xie Chen dribbled the ball to the three-point line, he only paused for a moment, causing the defenders to stop instantly. Just when the Pelicans thought that Xie Chen was going to shoot a three-pointer to tie the game, Xie Chen took the opportunity to quickly go to the basket and jumped high. rise!

"Dare to layup? I will block you!" Evans chased from behind, raised his arms, he couldn't believe that he couldn't deal with Xie Chen who had just returned from injury!

Xie Chen broke through from the left for a layup, and there was no one under the basket, but Evans was behind him. He found that Evans had already caught up, so he did not choose to layup from the left, but pulled the bar to let his body glide to the right made a reverse basket.

Basketball into the net easily!

Evans was shocked: "What? He can still play pull-up layups now?"

Seeing that Xie Chen did jump two steps forward very carefully after landing, he was relieved only after confirming that he was fine.

Coach Spoel didn't expect Xie Chen to make a layup, let alone play a drawbar! Seeing that Xie Chen was fine after testing, he let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, Xie Chen was also very worried about the landing, because he used Rose's ability when laying up, and it didn't matter whether he was injured or not, but when he fell, it was his foot, his center of gravity was unstable or he stepped on something. , that would hurt.

The last time I was injured was because of a fast-break dunk. I was chasing three people around me. I dunked when I faced it, and then fell after the dunk. There was not much space left for Xie Chen, but this time, Evans was the only one under the basket, so Nothing to worry about.

The last 15 seconds! The Heat are still 1 point behind!

Foul tactics must be adopted!

And the Heat did so, and the Pelicans missed two free throws! As long as the Heat score, they have a chance to kill!

"Oh, it's not true!" The fans at the scene were a little afraid to watch, but after thinking about it, Xie Chen was no longer the omnipotent Xie Chen before the All-Star Game, maybe the Pelicans still have a chance!

Xie Chen wiped his sweat with his hands: "Finally, it's time to prove yourself and win!"
