Super All-around Point Guard

Everyone is talking about Xie Chen and James, Wade and James, but they forget that there is an All-Star player in this series, and he is also an All-Star MVP player, Kelly Irving.

Maybe it's the lack of experience in the Eastern Conference Finals before, maybe it's easy to be ignored under James' shining wings, but you have to know that Irving is on the rise! He is only 23 years old this year, and superstars are unstoppable at this age!

Owen's task is very heavy, and many people will feel sorry for this little man. First of all, he has to defend Xie Chen. Who is Xie Chen? He is the most unexpected phenomenon-level player in the league, a super scoring maniac who just scored a new high in the playoffs not long ago, and an all-around player in scoring and assists. This alone is enough to wear down Irving.

Secondly, he must stand up and show aggressiveness on the offensive end. Kevin Love is no longer there. There are only James and Irving in the Big Three. You can’t leave everything to James. It’s not good for James to return to his hometown Imagine being both a father and a mother as before.

Seeing Irving calmly breaking through for a layup, Xie Chen subconsciously admired this guy. He has matured. After the baptism of this playoffs, Irving has obviously matured.

"This kid never seems to panic. I can guess a lot of people's psychology, even Stephen Curry, but Irving... When he holds the ball, I can't understand it."

Irving has a rare stability at this age. This season, because of James' sudden return home, Irving has to be more mature. For Irving, the big three in the Cavaliers team is very stressful for him , in order to win, he must change his way of playing and make sacrifices. This is extremely cruel and difficult for a 23-year-old who has just become the boss of the team. You know, Wade has been doing this for a long time before he became the second head The boss, even in the first year of James, still has the feeling of the boss.

Before that, Irving didn't appreciate what the playoffs were like, so that when the second game of the playoffs was in the dark, during a timeout, Irving asked Mike Miller: "Is this just the playoffs?" Strength of?"

It’s funny to say that Owen and Xie Chen are the same in this point, but Xie Chen changed his thinking at that time. He no longer listened to the so-called "playoff intensity" and "different playoffs" from outsiders, and used his body Feel it for yourself, put it all behind you and focus on the game.

Then, Miller told him: "It's still early, wait until the Eastern Conference Finals and you will feel it."

Now, the Eastern Conference finals are finally here. Before that, the Cavaliers had never lost a single game. Correspondingly, the intensity was not enough. Today's game will let Irving, or Xie Chen, experience the intensity of the playoffs!

Xie Chen started to play steadily, dribbling the ball slowly, and just about to take a step forward, he was attacked by Owen and knocked the basketball away!

Irving is shorter than Xie Chen, with a low center of gravity, coupled with his agile speed, if he is caught by surprise, it is still easy to succeed in stealing.

Seeing that Irving is about to control the ball, James over there, as the league's number one fast-break maniac, was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was just about to step forward, but he was entangled by Luol Deng! James made a very exaggerated backward movement, but unfortunately the referee didn't bird him.

Owen has already got the ball and rushed forward. Of course, he also knows that he has never got rid of Xie Chen. Xie Chen is behind him, and James was maliciously blocked by Luol Deng and did not follow. This time, he has no helpers for the fast break !

However, if you are as confident as Irving, how can you be afraid of one-on-one? Owen marched from left to right, and jumped up near the basket. Xie Chen followed closely, and also jumped up, ready to block the shot!

Irving didn't throw the ball immediately, but gliding.

Does he have to glide to the right side of the basket before throwing the ball?

In order to prevent being blocked by Xie Chen, he might do this, but even so, he could not escape the fate of being blocked.

Unexpectedly, Irving did not do this. Just as he was about to glide over, his left hand suddenly made a layup from the left basket, snap! Xie Chen also slapped Owen with his left hand!

"Hot pot! Xie Chen gave Owen a hat!" Yu Jia explained excitedly.

After the cap, both of them lost their balance and fell to the ground. The basketball still stayed on the field. Shumpert, who followed up, picked up the basketball and faced the unguarded basket. When it was time to score the first point, bang, it was another big hat, and the one given to him was replaced by Wade!

"The best shot-blocking backcourt combination!"

However, at this time, Irving grabbed the ball again, and then hit a three-pointer from the outside, ending the farce.

The offense and defense of the two sides were vividly displayed at the beginning of the first quarter, making the fans dizzy, especially Irving. Although he was blocked just now, he was the one who stole the limelight at the beginning, especially after being blocked. It's extremely mature to get up and make three-pointers steadily.

Irving's sleepy eyes were shining brightly, and he thought to himself: "Is this the strongest matchup in the playoffs I have been looking forward to? The Eastern Conference finals, I finally came here, and this is by no means my end, I still want to Into the finals!"

Irving has dreamed of playing basketball since he was a child. Every night, after Irving finished his studies, the old Irving, his father, would take him to a nearby stadium, turn on his car lights, and let Irving play freely on the court. Run, day and night.

When I was eleven years old, Irving secretly wrote a note and put it in a drawer: "When I grow up, I want to enter the NBA."

Everyone knows the story that happened next. The Cleveland Cavaliers picked Irving with the No. 1 pick, and then Irving showed the yellowed note to his father. dream.

This is the only way to the final stage, and only one of the two teams can pass. Everyone has the dream of the championship, so a fight is inevitable.

Owen is very strong, indeed very strong, but isn't he strong enough to defeat the Heat with his own ability? the answer is negative.

Xie Chen turned around and responded. Xie Chen lunged forward, pulled back suddenly, returned to the three-point line, and then quickly shot a three-pointer, and the ball was hit!

Yu Jia said in surprise: "The shooting percentages of the players on both sides are so high, you come and go, this pair of attacks is really pleasing to the eye."

Su Qun said: "Yes, so I say that this game is definitely not inferior to this year's Finals matchup, no matter whether it is the Warriors or the Rockets in the West, or the Cavaliers or the Heat in the East, because the fighting and competition between these two teams will reach the extreme. , they both have superstar players, and more than one of them."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "There are not even two, but one of them is injured and cannot fight."

If Love and Bosh were both present, the matchup in this series would be even more exciting, and both of them, who were unable to play due to injuries, appeared on the scene in suits and shoes. Extremely embarrassing.

The shooting percentages of both teams are extremely high, and there is no chance for the insiders to grab rebounds at all. The non-stop confrontation has greatly exhausted the physical strength of the players on both sides. Every time the opponent scores a goal, it is an invisible pressure on themselves. The defensive strength of both sides Naturally, it is very high, but the first quarter is basically played by superstars, so there are ways to score.

Xie Chen has his own way of beating Irving, and Irving also has his own experience of beating Xie Chen. James is very easy to score against Luol Deng, and Wade is very easy to score against Shumpert.

So in the first quarter, the two teams scored a very high score, ending the first quarter with 35:34, and the Heat temporarily led by one point.

Cavaliers coach Blatter frowned. He never expected such an offensive performance in the first quarter. Not only Xie Chen and Wade, James and Irving also had such high shooting percentages. These scores basically came from All four, and the head coaches of both sides seemed to acquiesce in allowing the other's ace to score.

What everyone was more concerned about before was how the coach of the team should restrict Xie Chen and James. Now it seems that it is all about letting Ace play, let Ace defeat himself alone, and constantly consume his combat power, at least in the first quarter. , it is not clear whether it will be double-teamed in the end.

There are very few people available for the Cavaliers, basically a rotation of eight or nine players. Even Sean Marion didn't give him a chance to play. At the beginning of the second quarter, Dellavedova and James Jones were used. The two were excited One is calm, James Jones looks very similar to an actor in Hong Kong, that actor is called Zhong Hanliang, he is an idol star.

And after Jones came on the court, he was unsmiling and cool like an idol star. He tried two three-pointers, but unfortunately they didn't succeed.

And Dellavedova showed his gangster nature as soon as he came up, collided with Chalmers, both fell to the ground, and then got up and talked all kinds of trash, but Della took the initiative to stop spraying after spraying for a while, as if he felt that it was with Chalmers. It's meaningless for Holmes to spray, his target is the Heat's trump card, Xie Chen.

Then, it didn't take long for James and Irving to play again. The two scored as soon as they came up. James was not in a hurry to attack, but gave his teammates whenever he had a chance. He was very patient and selfless.

Xie Chen played the same way as him after he came on the court. The difference is that the Cavaliers have JR and Irving on the outside, both of whom are very accurate in three-pointers, while the Heat, except for Xie Chen, it is difficult for anyone else to guarantee three-pointers, so , Soon, the Cavaliers led the Heat by 5 points.

Xie Chen saw that the momentum was wrong, and he was about to start chasing points. It was still a lightning breakthrough, and it was still a quick kill to the basket. But, who knows, this time James took the initiative to step forward to block Xie Chen. Xie Chen's layup skills Possessed, just about to dodge and move in the air, unexpectedly, James didn't want to block Xie Chen this time, but...

I saw James hit Xie Chen with his left arm, and pulled Xie Chen down with the ball.

James adopted foul tactics! He didn't even think about covering Xie Chen, so he just pulled him down!

Due to the arrogance of James' strength, Xie Chen fell to the ground after landing!

"Oh, James dragged Xie Chen to the ground with one hand. This strength is really brutal!" Yu Jia said.

Su Qun said with a smile: "I think James didn't want to defend Xie Chen, he just rushed for a foul. Use this kind of strong defense to tell Xie Chen that you can't go inside if you want."

After Xie Chen got up, he was not embarrassed, but smiled lightly. James' foul this time was obviously showing his strength to himself. Even so, Xie Chen would not let James succeed.

"Trying to flaunt superiority over me? LeBron, you're so naive!"

As Xie Chen walked to the free throw line, he thought to himself, "Increase your integration!"

The system replied: "Please choose a skill that improves fusion."

"LeBron James, layup skills!"

"LeBron James' layup skills, the current fusion degree is 35%, and you currently have 70 fusion points, do you want to increase it to 100%?"

Although having 90% of James's strength has already fully upgraded a strength level, but Xie Chen has no time to wait for it to grow slowly, so he replied: "Yes!"

The system said: "LeBron James' layup skills have been improved successfully, and the current fusion degree is 100%!"

"Hahaha, James, I already have all the strength you have when laying up! If you have the guts, try pulling me again!"

Just when Xie Chen was overjoyed, he suddenly heard calls from Wade and a group of teammates around him.

"Thank you, it's almost time, what are you doing?"

"Thanks, make a free throw, make a shot!"

Oh shit, why did I forget that it is a free throw now, and there is a time limit for free throws. Xie Chen came back to his senses, and threw it forward in a hurry, and the ball went into the net hollow.

"Oh, what the hell, you can make shots by throwing around like this? This shooting posture is uglier than Marion's!" JR Smith originally saw Xie Chen in a daze, thinking he would miss a free throw, but he didn't expect to make a hasty shot. hit!

Xie Chen also laughed, but the next ball he threw with his heart was short.

The fans were also speechless. They could make a shot at random, but they couldn't make it with standard shooting movements. This Xie Chen is really a weirdo.

Thompson grabbed the rebound, James immediately launched an offense, still relying on his tank-like rolling, he made an easy layup. When James pops up, you either foul or watch him score. This is impossible.

However, James is not the only one who can bully people like this, Xie Chen can too!

Soon, Xie Chen got a fast break opportunity because he intercepted the pass originally intended for JR Smith. JR was very angry. He and Xie Chen had a grudge against each other. When they meet in the post-match, they will definitely abuse each other and send them home. This is JR's chance to prove himself!

However, Xie Chen's breakthrough speed was too fast, JR Smith tried his best and was still one step behind, approaching the basket, JR couldn't stop the block at all, so he wanted to humiliate Xie Chen with James' foul method just now.

"Hmph, I was easily pulled down by LeBron just now, and now I will let you experience the powerlessness of a chick being stepped on by an elephant!"

JR Smith strode forward, grabbed Xie Chen's arm, and was about to pull him down forcibly!
