Super All-around Point Guard

Thibodeau stood on the sidelines with an angry expression on his face, his light blue shirt propped up his round belly, as if this fat figure had been forced to grow bigger by anger.

Xie Chen really likes the thrill of being called timeout by the opponent's coach. As a player, it is difficult for you to have the opportunity to fight head-on with the opponent's coach, but playing on the court to force the opponent's coach to call a timeout is undoubtedly very satisfying for the players. Obviously, Thibodeau called this timeout because of Xie Chen.

The score went from 17 points to single digits in just a few minutes, and the Heat's points during this period were all related to Xie Chen. Before Xie Chen assisted his teammates and even dunked, Thibodeau did not call a timeout, but Xie Chen Chen himself shot a three-pointer, giving Thibodeau a signal that he must start to contain Xie Chen's signal.

Everyone knows that once Xie Chen's firepower is fully fired, no one can stop him. He can score a lot of points in one quarter and beat opponents all over the floor. If Thibodeau wants to win the Heat, Xie Chen must also have something Understand, so Xie Chen just made the first three-pointer, and Thibodeau immediately called a timeout.

As soon as the scene was paused, the fans in the auditorium were all excited, and their voices became even louder.

"Haha, I knew Xie would catch up. No matter how many points we are behind, as long as Xie is here, we will not be afraid!"

It is reasonable to say that the first game of the series was behind by many points at the beginning, and it was a kind of torture for the fans at home, but the fans in the American Airlines Arena did not lose confidence from the beginning to the end. The trust has even surpassed Wade and LeBron before, which is extremely scary.

Thibodeau braced his waist and faced the group of players, and said with a serious face: "Hey, listen, I will never allow the lead we have worked so hard to get, to be lost by a kid within two or three minutes." Let these come to naught! Chris Xie, we all know that he is very good, and he must not be treated as a rookie. Next, you should keep a close eye on him, cut him off from his teammates, and let the rest of the Heat go. To score, of course, we all have to prepare for the worst, because the rest of the Heat are also very good, and scoring is a matter of time, but at least, it will not be so fast!"

Thibodeau was so angry that he would rather let others score than let Xie Chen settle the point difference in a minute or two. This is an insult to Thibodeau and the Bulls!

Back from the timeout, Xie Chen clearly felt the pressure imposed by the Bulls on him. Outside shooting has been completely blocked, and there is no room for you to break through, forcing you to pass the ball quickly. The way to create open opportunities for teammates, Thibodeau intends to completely block Xie Chen, Xie Chen's usual practice is to pass the ball, this time is still no exception, hand it over to Wade.

Wade is also a person with strong singles and organizational skills. Since Xie Chen has attracted a strong defense, it is much easier compared to other players, such as Luol Deng.

Luol Deng averaged close to 20 points per game in the last series and was a reliable teammate. After the team lacked Bosh as a strong scoring point, Luol Deng was the only one who could fill Bosh's vacancy.

Luol Deng received a pass from Wade and basically made a mid-range shot without defensive pressure.

Thibodeau put his arms around his chest, he recognized the ball!

He would rather accept that the Heat used this method to narrow the score bit by bit reasonably, and he didn't want to see Xie Chen like Curry, no, he was more unreasonable than Curry, and it was done in a few rounds.

The most important thing is that it wasn't Xie Chen who scored, and the psychological impact on the Bulls team was also different. Xie Chen scored, and the Bulls were very upset. Coupled with the aura of Xie Chen, the new MVP, the MVP scored with arrogance and deterrence. No one felt that role players scored.

The cheap Joakim Noah also had to pick the basket after a fake move. The Bulls continued to maintain the point difference. When it was the Heat's turn to attack, the Bulls still blocked Xie Chen's point. Last time, other Heat players made a successful hit. Xie Chen doesn't mind being "isolated" again this time, letting others complete the attack, and he is ready to grab offensive rebounds at any time.

But this time, Luol Deng failed to make another hit, and Jimmy Butler hugged the rebound tightly, giving Xie Chen no chance to steal it.

Gradually, the atmosphere on the scene also became dull, and the frenzy of chasing points seemed to dissipate to nowhere in an instant.

Two Japanese fans at the top struck up a conversation.

"I didn't expect that the second quarter was almost over before I knew it. Without Xie participating in the offense, the Heat's pursuit of points became slower."

"That's right, Xie's scoring tends to have an unstoppable momentum. Once it starts, it's hard to stop, and the Heat have to score and keep looking for the most suitable opportunities, and the final shooting rate may not be as good as Xie's unreasonable offense. I heard that Xie also watched "Slam Dunk" in our country, which character do you think he is more similar to?"

"Hmm... so hard to say, Kaede Rukawa? They are all cool, scoring aces, Xiandao? Sometimes Xie's many passes are as cool as Xiandao, Mitsui Hisashi? They are all three-pointers. Oh My God, in this way, Xie Chen is really like a combination of all outstanding players, I really didn't expect us yellow people to have such outstanding players, it is estimated that South Korea will say that Xie Chen is their Korean in a few days."

The conversation between the two Japanese fans in Japanese did not attract the attention of the surrounding crowd, but the facts were indeed as they said. Once Xie Chen did not participate in the offense, the Heat's pursuit of points would come to a standstill. momentum. The most important thing is that it is not Xie Chen who scores, which has a very important psychological impact on the Bulls team, enabling them to complete the offense peacefully and continue to maintain the score advantage.

Soon, halftime was over, and the Bulls still maintained a 9-point lead. Falling behind by single digits at halftime is not too bad a thing for the Heat. In the second half, the Heat have a lot of opportunities to overtake the score. Whether it is through Xie Chen or other methods, this is predictable.

But I never expected that there was a person who suddenly broke out in the third quarter, and not only on the offensive end, the offense and defense fully played a role. This person is very likely to be the player who will be awarded the Most Improved Award this year, Jimmy Butler!

The most improved award will be announced in a few days. Jimmy Butler is considered the player with the best chance to win this award. He averaged 20 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 per game this season. Steals, of course, in addition to Butler, the Warriors' Drummond Green and the Heat's Hassan Whiteside have a chance to win this award.

Of course, Xie Chen also hopes that his good brother Hassan can get it. Unfortunately, Butler's average performance per game is too amazing. Hassan broke out a bit late and scored relatively few points, so he is at a disadvantage.

Speaking of Jimmy Butler, this guy is also an unsmiling person on the court. He suddenly used his feet to pass Wade, and then went straight to the basket from the baseline and dunked with a backhand.

And this was just the beginning, and then he hit another three-pointer. At the beginning of the third quarter, it was Jimmy Butler who made the score bigger by himself.

At this time, Xie Chen hadn't played yet, and Wade saw that the score was going to open again, and he was a little anxious. Jimmy Butler didn't get rid of the defense in singles, and finally made a forced shot, but Butler blocked it!

"What?" Xie Chen, who was sitting on the bench, was also quite excited. Wade was blocked by Butler? How dare this guy overshadow our team leader? !

"This guy... is very arrogant. It looks like I'm going to give him some color later." Jimmy Butler not only opened up the score and made it more difficult for Xie Chen to chase points, but even made Wade a hot pot, How could Xie Chen endure this!

It didn't take long for Xie Chen to appear on the stage. On the defensive end, in addition to defending his matchup, he was also keeping an eye on Jimmy Butler's movements, waiting for an opportunity to use Griffin's strength to avenge Wade.

If Wade knows, he definitely doesn’t want Xie Chen to do this. After all, once he leaves Rose and turns to defend Butler, then Rose will get a chance, but I don’t know if it’s Xie Chen’s wishful thinking that Jimmy Butler took the ball. Finally, once he chooses to attack, he rarely passes the ball to Rose.

Xie Chen even wondered if there would be any gap between Rose and Butler? Thinking about it is of course boring and pointless.

After two rounds, when Xie Chen scored two points and sent an assist, Xie Chen finally found a chance to check and balance Butler.

In the few minutes when Xie Chen came on the court to chase points, Butler still continued to score, still unstoppable, and instantly became the Bulls' leading scorer. Even Rose was eclipsed, which made Xie Chen very unhappy.

This time, Gasol received the ball from a high position, turned half a circle and did not find a suitable person, suddenly saw Jimmy Butler on the right get rid of Wade and rushed directly to the basket, Gasol threw it high to the basket, ready Give Butler an alley-oop!

Butler wants to catch a dunk!

Just kidding, whose home is this? How could Xie Chen allow you to play this kind of slam dunk performance!

Xie Chen took aim at this opportunity and ran directly to the basket, surpassed Wade in two or three steps, and took off one step ahead of time.

Jimmy Butler had already taken off, just holding the basketball with both hands, and when he was about to take an alley-oop dunk, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. Of course, Butler couldn't look back, he could only quickly put the ball in. In the basket, but at this time there is already a sense of fear.

"Is it Wade?" Butler was startled. Butler blocked Wade just now. You must know that Wade is a master at blocking shots among guards. According to his personality, he will definitely return it.

However, the next block was far more brutal than what Wade could give.

boom!

It was not a dunk, but the sound of the basketball being slapped on the backboard. Xie Chen slapped Butler's dunk with both hands and stared at the backboard hard. Butler was shocked. This momentum, this power, It seems like a person over two meters and over 100 kilograms could do it, but it turned out to be... Xie Chen?

Seeing the jersey number when Butler fell, he couldn't believe his eyes. Unfortunately, the ball hit Xie Chen's body and went out of bounds, but the block still gave the opponent a strong shock.

"Oh, what a brutal block! I haven't seen it for a long time!"

"Haha, look at Jimmy Butler, he looks stupid."

Because Jimmy Butler collided with Xie Chen, he accidentally fell to the ground when he landed. Xie Chen landed safely and smoothly. After landing, Xie Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to Butler. This smile was obviously a little smug And the smell of a successful plot made Butler dare not accept Xie Chen's friendship at the first moment.

At this time, Noah hurried forward to push Xie Chen away, and pulled Butler up.

Wade also stepped forward, grinning and complaining to Xie Chen: "You took away the block that originally belonged to me."

Butler made an air cut just now, but he didn't completely shake off Wade. Wade had a chance to chase the opponent from behind, but when Wade was about to take off, Xie Chen suddenly rushed up with amazing momentum.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Haha, I know you can cover it too, but you will never be as domineering as me."

Peak Wei's shot blocking is indeed terrifying, and Wade is indeed strong, at least in terms of the body of a guard, he is much stronger than Xie Chen, but even so, Wade has to admit that even he, at the moment of blocking shots, is also very strong. Without such a wonderful visual enjoyment from the audience, the shot on the backboard was as if something exploded in an instant. The force was very strong. It was not like what Xie Chen could do with such strength, but he did it.

Wade could only understand that as Xie Chen's determination to avenge himself.

The Heat's opponent this time is really different. Even after being blocked so cruelly, Jimmy Butler still didn't say a word, and his facial expression was very flat, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Then, Butler made another jumper after receiving the ball next.

"Oh? This guy from the Bulls is not bad. After being blocked by Xie so viciously, he can still finish the shot calmly. Has he already scored 20 points? More than Rose."

"Jimmy Butler had two 30+ performances in the last series. He is definitely the Bulls' strongest scoring point."

Not only the fans at the scene, even Xie Chen, who was his opponent, had to look at Jimmy Butler differently. He had already scored 20 points quietly, without exaggerated facial expressions, and without trash talking, but the more he was like this, the more he It made Xie Chen feel terrible.

With Jimmy Butler's explosion in the third quarter and Gasol's shooting rebound, the Bulls not only held on to the lead in the third quarter, but also expanded the score further, until the fourth quarter, the Bulls still led by 15 So much!

Xie Chen had to be anxious at this time. Being behind by 15 points in the first quarter and being behind by 15 points in the fourth quarter were two completely different concepts.

But at this time, Xie Chen's shooting rate, or the shooting rate of the entire Heat team, was in trouble. He couldn't make any shots. Fortunately, Hassan Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound and gave the ball to Xie Chen again. In the morning, the defensive player in front of Xie Chen became Jimmy Butler, and Xie Chen made a fake breakthrough and immediately stepped back and made a three-pointer!

"What?" After Xie Chen shot, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe what happened before his eyes!
