Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 271 Thibodeau's strategy!

The referee's whistle was the expected result, because Xie Chen, who was one size smaller than Butler, blocked Butler, but there was an undue momentum, and Butler even fell out of bounds. If Xie Chen Chen didn't push Butler, so it was impossible for such a situation to occur.

However, Xie Chen knew very well that he didn't push him, it was really just a simple physical contact!

It was hard for Jimmy Butler to get a big cap. Just now, he avenged his previous cap, but he was called a pushing foul by the referee. How could Xie Chen bear it? He hurried to the referee and explained angrily. : "I didn't push him!"

The referee immediately blew another whistle, Xie Chen made a technical foul!

"You..." Xie Chen just wanted to argue again, but was hugged by Wade and pulled back: "Relax, thank you, it's just an insignificant attack, it's not a big deal."

Coach Sibo saw that Xie Chen had a rare loss of emotional control. It happened that the first quarter ended soon, and he was about to replace him for a rest, so he directly replaced Xie Chen to let him calm down off the court.

Xie Chen sat down on the bench, Coach Spoel stepped forward and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Thank you, control your emotions, the outcome of this game is very important to us, we need you!"

Xie Chen doesn't care about emotions, anyway, it won't affect his shooting, he is still a little angry, obviously it's a good cap!

"Jimmy Butler...you are lucky this time, I will still block you again!"

In order to give Xie Chen enough time to calm down, Coach Spoelstra made Xie Chen appear on the court after several minutes in the second quarter. During this period, the Heat's substitutes played well, but the Bulls were even better. What is particularly surprising is that a guy named Nikola Mirotic, who is 2.08 meters tall, first made a three-pointer. Due to his huge height, he was basically undisturbed, and then grabbed After the rebound, a tip-up succeeded, causing the Bulls to catch up with the score.

When Xie Chen played again, the two teams drew again! It seems that in this game, no one can even think about pulling the score apart.

As soon as Xie Chen came on the field, he was fouled by Jimmy Butler. At this time, Jimmy Butler, who was always a bit dull, took the initiative to talk to Xie Chen: "Thanks, I know you really want to send me away. Give me back the hot pot, but in this series, I promise you can't do it."

Jimmy Butler, who has always been unsmiling, actually showed a strange evil smile, full of conspiracy. Butler seldom plays psychological warfare with his opponents, but he was so excited when he saw that Xie Chen was fouled because of blocking him, and realized that Xie Chen I really want to take revenge, so I came up with the idea of ​​spouting trash talk to stimulate Xie Chen.

But when it comes to trash talk and psychological tactics, Xie Chen is definitely more experienced than Butler, so he smiled contemptuously: "You are wrong, Jimmy, I just returned your hot pot to you. You know I didn't push you."

Jimmy Butler also smiled badly: "No, you just pushed."

Jimmy Butler still had lingering fears when he recalled the dunk just now. Why was Xie Chen so powerful when he blocked the shot? But Butler still thinks that Xie Chen is definitely trying to push people.

Xie Chen ignored him and went to make free throws, continuing to lead the score.

Although it is the second quarter, Xie Chen is already thinking about how to open the score step by step. Once the Heat can lead by more than eight points, the Heat will play more smoothly. On the contrary, the Bulls will play more difficultly, and the Heat, Absolutely has this ability, even Xie Chen can do it alone, all he needs is more ball possession in a short period of time.

There is a good way, that is to fight for offensive rebounds.

This time, he and Noah fought together. The two grabbed the ball almost at the same time. Noah has a huge physical advantage, so after getting the ball, he took the ball arbitrarily, and even collided with Xie Chen. The action, Xie Chen's actor possessed him, took advantage of the situation, and the referee finally compensated Xie Chen once and gave Nuoah a foul.

This is already Noah's third foul in this field.

Noah was very angry because he realized that he might not have another chance to play in this quarter.

"The performance was good, kid, but tonight's result will make you cry." Noah said unceremoniously to Xie Chen. He is a guy who will find trouble when nothing happens, so he will never be polite to an ace like Xie Chen . Moreover, before, because of Chalmers, the two had already had conflicts.

Although sometimes his performance is relatively cheap, Noah's struggle and growth in the past few seasons is definitely the reason why the Bulls can maintain their reputation as a strong team and continue to attract veterans willing to cut their salaries to come to the Windy City. The essential.

But after fighting for so many years, this year's Noah's physical condition has dropped a lot, and he is not even at the same level as the regular season. The Bulls seem to be strong and strong on the books. The Bulls veterans headed by Noah have a somewhat reserved mentality , and when Noah was interviewed in the playoffs, he mentioned the word "SWITCHON/OFF" many times, which means that he thinks the Bulls can turn on that switch at any time.

In the series with the Heat, Noah turned on this switch.

The Heat still continued their strong defense in the first quarter, causing the Bulls to fail to find any shots until the last moment. The ball was still held by Noah who was standing at the free throw line. To whom, and the attack time is about to come, he seems to turn on the switch suddenly, he dribbles and breaks through, it seems slow, but it is two steps away and he directly flies to dunk! Beasley hit Noah's hand and caused an additional penalty!

"Ah!" Noah yelled frantically in the form of "Bull Demon King".

His madness broke out completely in the second quarter. Not only did he perform on the offensive end, but he even blocked a layup by Luol Deng. Both of them fell to the ground.

Noah's desperation directly ignited the fighting spirit of all players, and Rose also broke out completely. In the end, the Bulls overtook the score.

Xie Chen felt that the first half passed very slowly. Maybe it was because the defense of both sides was too hard. More, even so, there may not necessarily be a result, because there are many cases where the two sides have exceeded the standard action, and Xie Chen encountered such a vicious foul once.

Korver was directly reimbursed for the season due to injury, and also caused the Eagles to fall behind 0-3. Xie Chen will never allow himself to have any accidents, so he will be careful. Noah's actions are indeed a bit big, and he will not maliciously do some violations Actions.

Generally speaking, although the Bulls lead at halftime, Rose and Jimmy Butler are still not as good as the backcourt combination of Xie Chen and Wade, so in the long run, the Bulls still have a high chance of losing.

Of course, Xie Chen is full of confidence in this victory. When the Cavaliers lead the Eagles 3-0, Xie Chen is determined to win this victory.

"If there is no accident, when the confidence of the Eagles collapsed, James may pursue the victory and directly solve the Eagles in the fourth game. If we want to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, we need at least two more games to win this game. The longer it takes, the more disadvantaged our physical strength will be, and there may be injuries, so this match must be won!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, the scene that made Xie Chen vomit blood appeared again. It was Little Tudou and Brooks again!

"Oh my god, it's not over, why is this kid shooting three-pointers again?" Xie Chen was very depressed when he saw Brooks hit a super-long three-pointer.

Brooks hits the 3-pointer every game, and it's always some unreasonable shots. Chalmers, who was on the field, saw Xie Chen's depressed expression, and in the next round, he directly gave Brooks a hat, which finally made Xie Chen feel better.

"Good job! Mario!" Xie Chen couldn't help standing up and applauding Chalmers.

Chalmers is really a trustworthy guy, and he is also the soul of the Heat's bench. Thinking about it, Chalmers was still competing with Xie Chen for the starting position, Xie Chen couldn't help smiling.

Originally, I thought that Chalmers would lose his fighting spirit because of being a substitute, and his combat effectiveness and desire to fight would be greatly reduced. During the regular season, this was indeed the case. Chalmers often couldn't find his own position and feeling. He averaged no more than 5 points per game for several consecutive games, and his assists were even more unsightly. But in the playoffs, Chalmers seemed to have changed. , but also more adapted to the current position.

Whether it is scoring or assisting teammates, whether it is offense or defense, they have performed surprisingly well. I have to say that following James Wade and the others to reach the Finals for four consecutive years, even if Chalmers is not the soul, he has also improved. Quite a lot.

"Mario has become extremely good in the past four years, even Xie is inferior to him in some aspects." Coach Spoel looked at Chalmers with fiery eyes.

Chalmers was also very calm after blocking Brooks, and secretly said in his heart: "Walker and James Ennis in the bench are also very talented. I need to be the boss of this bench, just like Xie in the main team. Link them together like the lineup does."

One person's performance will drive the whole team, just like Noah, the bull devil who suddenly went crazy in the second quarter, once Chalmers performed well, Cole, who was with him in the finals, would naturally not far behind and played very well. Positively, the Heat's bench lineup directly abused the Bulls to pieces, and even overtook the Bulls by 8 points in a short period of time! It also forced Thibodeau to call a timeout!

Xie Chen and Wade were so excited that they stood up and sat down in the dugout. Everyone was familiar with the two backup guards on the field. The main point guard in the team, only with Xie Chen, became a substitute who played very little time. They are all veterans with experience and strength!

In contrast to the Bulls, there is no player with such experience in the finals. Hinrich's performance has become overshadowed in front of Chalmers and Kerr.

With the climax driven by the Heat's substitutes, the duo of Wade and Xie Chen showed their power together after their debut, once again overwhelmed Rose and Butler, and completed the reversal again in the third quarter, ending the first quarter with a 10-point lead. three quarters.

The fans at the scene also became quiet, because judging from today's situation, the victory is obviously tending towards the Heat!

"What the hell, the Heat's substitutes are playing so well! The Bulls are the only ones who can play! They will definitely lose tonight! The Heat rely on Xie and Wade to be so scary. The whole team is showing off their power, and the game can still have suspense Is it?" On the top floor of the auditorium, a rough ore profusely drank a sip of beer and shouted.

"Yes, although I also hope that the Bulls can win, but this situation is obviously not good for the Bulls!" Another fan also said negatively.

Xie Chen wiped his sweat and looked up at the big screen: "One more quarter, I will be able to win this victory!"

In the fourth quarter, the Heat still led the score, and Hassan Whiteside gave the opponent a big cap. Hassan's performance made the fans restless again.

"Oh, what a terrible insider! This guy has 4 blocks tonight! And took most of the rebounds, the Bulls are really hanging tonight!"

Just when Xie Chen got the ball and was about to steal two points when the opponent's defensive formation was not in place, Xie Chen found that it was not Rose who was defending him, but Jimmy Butler.

Was Ross not following? Obviously not, Rose is on the left, and he returned to defense at the same time as Butler.

Was it Butler who took the initiative to defend Xie Chen alone? It doesn't seem to be the case, Ross is not surprised at all, and there is no sense of attacking Xie Chen in his eyes.

"Does Thibodeau want to use Jimmy Butler to defend me in the fourth quarter?" Xie Chen thought of this possibility, but quickly changed direction to break through, trying to steal two points in the chaos.

It's a pity that although Jimmy Butler looked tall and powerful, he was very agile, and immediately blocked Xie Chen's way. Xie Chen tried again, but to no avail.

Therefore, Jimmy Butler made a quick shot from outside the three-point line, and Jimmy Butler's height advantage was revealed. Although he failed to block Xie Chen, it gave the opponent a lot of interference, and he failed to hit this goal.

"Damn it! You can't break through him with Lowry's breakthrough skills, and he is too tall, and Curry's three-point shooting posture is easily disturbed. Now breakthroughs and long-range shots are all restricted. Is this Thibodeau's strategy?" Chen looked back at Thibodeau, the fat man was still pinching his waist with his hands and frowning.

Nothing can be seen from just one confrontation, but Thibodeau is convinced that this is an opportunity: "If Jimmy Butler really limits Chris Xie in this quarter, then I know how to win this series. They're gone!"

Xie Chen was not reconciled to letting Thibodeau's plot succeed. The second attack, an accelerated breakthrough and a jumper jumper directly, was extremely difficult. Even Jimmy Butler's height did not interfere with Xie Chen, and Xie Chen hit two points.

But even so, Thibodeau still insisted on using Butler to stick to Xie Chen's strategy.

Although Xie Chen scored occasionally, the most lethal weapons were the layup and the three-pointer, but they were gone!

A few drops of sweat dripped down on Xie Chen's face unconsciously, this match seemed to be in trouble!
