Super All-around Point Guard

After Anthony said this, he left, leaving James alone to stand there and sigh. Anthony is a special existence to James. He is better than Kobe, the former Celtics Big Three, and Curry. , Xie Chen is also an important opponent. Of course, the same is true for Anthony.

James and Anthony have known each other for so many years, and he has never heard Anthony say such things to him. Anthony has never been good at expressing, but today, Anthony said all the words hidden deep in his heart.

How could James not understand Anthony's pain and struggle? In fact, James has been paying attention to Anthony's situation when he has entered the finals every year in the past few years. When Anthony scored 62 points in Madison Square Garden, James was the first to know and was more excited than anyone else. Yes, even Anthony coming to New York was James' suggestion.

James sighed: "Five years ago, I told him that only the New York Knicks could have a chance to beat us. I didn't expect that day to come. Cameron, I also want you to enter the finals, but it's a pity. , I’m very sorry that you have Chris Xie on your team. I will definitely defeat you!”

…

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Knicks have only two games left this month, one is an away game against the Pelicans, and one is against the Mavericks at home. The Pelicans have no hope of advancing to the playoffs, but Davis, the thick-browed brother, He still played very energetically, and so did everyone else. In addition, Xie Chen didn't want to win this game, so the score was always controlled by the opponent.

Afterwards, Xie Chen rebounded in double figures and met the legendary Pelicans, the former Hornets, and the older generation's "bearded" and "queen bee" Baron Davis. When he was with the Hornets, Davis He also averaged 23+7+5 per game. He was also a first-class point guard at the time. Even now, he is still a first-class player. People often say that the Magic is a center training base. If you look at it this way, the Pelicans (Hornets) have become a Western Conference point guard training base, training Beard for the Warriors and Chris Paul for the Clippers.

Xie Chen likes the duel with Baron Davis very much, because this guy has a street style in him, and that kind of confrontation feeling is something that the current Irving Curry cannot bring to Xie Chen.

In this game, the Knicks lost to the Pelicans, and then lost to the Mavericks, continuing to rank eighth in the Eastern Conference.

In the blink of an eye, April is here. This month, in 14 days, the regular season will end and the playoffs will begin.

The playoff championship moment that we have been waiting for for a whole year is finally here!

Every team is trying their best to improve their record. The Golden State Warriors, the first team in the Western Conference, still have 8 losses so far. They still have a chance to challenge the Chicago Bulls' best record of 72 wins and 10 losses. If they are in If you don't lose a game this month, or only lose one goal, there is no doubt that another great team has been born!

However, the number one ranking in the Eastern Conference was changed from the Cavaliers to the Raptors in April!

This was something that no one expected in advance. The number one spot in the Eastern Conference would change hands at the last moment? The Cavaliers suddenly lost six games in a row?

The Toronto Raptors have become No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, which makes them extremely proud. The whole team is very excited. Speaking of which, they have played really well during this period. No matter they encounter strong or weak teams, they can be perfect. To win, this is the stage where their self-confidence is bursting.

DeRozan said happily: "We are the best team in the East, guys. Kyle Lowry has played so well in the last few games. This is completely the performance of the league's number one point guard! Brother, you definitely should Ranked in the top three of the MVP list, why does that guy stand over you? They are eighth in the Eastern Conference, and we are first in the Eastern Conference!"

Kyle Lowry waved his hand, but he was so proud of the praise in his heart. This is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. What an enviable position it is! As the main point guard and the leader of the team, how can Kyle Lowry not be proud?

Lowry smiled and said: "We will go down in the history of the Raptors this season. We are unstoppable this season, so let us keep going until the end of the season!"

Raptors black coach Casey was not immersed in the joy of winning first place in the Eastern Conference at this time. He frowned. After everyone else left the arena, Lowry and DeRozan were left alone. .

"Coach, is something wrong?" Kyle Lowry saw the coach's abnormal behavior. Although this coach never smiled very much, he was obviously more powerful today than usual.

Coach Casey said seriously: "Yes, there is one thing I really want to tell you. Now we are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. This is a very remarkable result. Before the season, no one would have expected that our Raptors would Being No. 1 in the Eastern Conference is a reflection of our strength. I have no objection to this. However, the playoffs are coming soon. If we continue to stay No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, have you ever thought about us? Who will you meet in the first round?”

Of course, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference has to fight against the weakest No. 8 team in the Eastern Conference. However, after Casey’s reminder, Kyle Lowry and DeRozan suddenly realized: “The New York Knicks are now ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference!”

This is not the weakest playoff team in the Eastern Conference! It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are the strongest!

DeRozan was shocked: "Coach, are you worried that we will meet them in the first round? The combination of Xie and Anthony is indeed terrible, and if Xie hadn't been suspended for such a long time, his record would have been among the top three in the Eastern Conference. . However, they have been hovering between seventh and eighth. According to their recent winning percentage, they should be ranked seventh, not eighth, at the end of the season."

Casey said: "Ranked to seventh? Then go to play James' Cavaliers in the first round? Do you think Xie and Anthony are so stupid?"

Kyle Lowry suddenly panicked: "The coach is right. With his wit, he will probably deliberately play according to the situation. If the Cavaliers return to the first place in the Eastern Conference, then they will be promoted to seventh. If the Cavaliers fall to the Eastern Conference, they will be ranked seventh." Two, they will keep eighth place, and no matter what, their target in the first round is us!”

DeRozan almost cried. The Knicks didn't really want to deliberately beat them in the first round, right? But Lowry's analysis makes sense. If it were him, he would make this choice to avoid the Cavaliers.

"Hell, it's hard to have such a good season. If you are eliminated in the first round, then..." DeRozan also couldn't help but say depressing words.

Coach Casey said: "That's what I'm worried about too."

The three of them were silent for a long time. They were so excited that they couldn't laugh anymore. After that, Kyle Lowry raised his head and asked the coach: "What do you think we have a chance of winning against the Knicks?"

Casey sighed: "Although as a team coach, I shouldn't say this, but...if the opponent is the Celtics, I am 78% sure of winning, but if it is the New York Knicks...less than 50%."

Casey is speaking conservatively. You must know that although the Knicks' record this season is not very good, they have defeated top teams such as the Cavaliers, Warriors, Clippers, and Spurs in the regular season. Their absolute strength should not be underestimated, especially Xie Xie. Chen's strength is unfathomable. Casey has no idea whether Xie Chen will break out again in the playoffs. He has no way to deal with the yellow man.

Lowry shook his head and said: "Coach, your concern is necessary. In this case, there is only one way."

The coach and DeRozan all looked at Lowry.

Lowry said: "In the last six games, if the Knicks win one, we will win one, and if the Knicks lose one, we will lose one!"

The Knicks have just lost two games in a row, so the next task for the Raptors is to lose and try to make the team fall to second place in the Eastern Conference and not meet the Knicks.

Then there was a third team in the East that intentionally lost.

Xie Chen never imagined that one of his ideas would lead to such changes in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks lost to avoid the Bulls and Heat, but the Cavaliers and Raptors lost to avoid the Knicks. If the fans knew the truth, That would be so much fun.

Coincidentally, the Raptors' next game is to play the Cavaliers at home, which is even more fun, because both teams want to lose!

Lowry only guessed that Xie Chen would avoid the Cavaliers and focus on them, but he did not guess that Xie Chen was responsible for the change in the Cavaliers. Therefore, he did not know that the Cavaliers were also losing on purpose recently, and the Cavaliers obviously did not realize that the Raptors were trying to avoid the Cavaliers. The Knicks are going to lose too.

The Raptors' home court, a strong showdown between the first and second in the Eastern Conference, attracted many Toronto fans to watch. People thought this must be a very exciting showdown, and the two teams would definitely compete for the Eastern Conference. The first fight was very intense, but I never expected it.

"What the hell are these guys doing? They've been playing for one quarter, and the score is just that small, and their shooting percentage is simply unsightly. Is this really a contest between the first team in the East and the second team in the East? It's simply Worse than the Lakers and 76ers!"

"Haha, I know that watching football at this time is the most useless. There will be playoffs in less than a month. If it is a battle between seventh and eighth, it will definitely be exciting. The fight will be fierce, but the first and eighth Second, they don’t worry about playoff tickets, so why are they working so hard?”

Both sides played this game without any passion, so the fans were unhappy watching it.

Kyle Lowry has performed well in the past few games, but he was not in good condition today. Once he took an open three-pointer, James glanced at Lowry and let him shoot a three-pointer, but Lowry actually made a three-pointer.

This surprised James. James, who had always had a normal relationship with Lowry, also began to care about him: "Man, I think you are not in good condition today."

Lowry deliberately pretended to be depressed: "Yes, this damn ball always fails to score. In fact, I have had a headache since I woke up in the morning. If the opponent was not you, I might not even play in this game." ”

"That's right." James smiled.

James thought Lowry was really in poor health, but in the second quarter, Lowry gave up an obvious opportunity to score by himself, insisting on passing the ball back to his teammates. In addition, DeRozan tonight He played like Lowry, and the smart James immediately understood what was wrong with the Raptors.

"It seems they have realized that if they continue to win, they will face the Knicks in the first round." James said secretly.

A team as strong as the Cavaliers is unwilling to meet the Knicks in the first round, let alone the Raptors, who have been in the first round in recent years. The Cavaliers deliberately lost and gave up the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference to the Raptors. Sit down and come back.

Sorry, I won't get back what I gave you. When James saw DeRozan and Lowry deliberately hitting the iron, he was not polite, and Dangdangdang also brushed three irons in a row.

Seeing this, the naive Lowry thought that James was really in a bad state, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "LeBron, you are also in a very bad state tonight."

James touched his head: "Yeah, I have a headache too."

"Uh..." Lori felt her head really hurt after hearing this.

This is how to do? If James continues to be so stubborn, how can the Raptors lose?

…

On this day, the Knicks did not have a game. When the Cavaliers and Raptors were "fighting fiercely", Xie Chen was at home with Katie. Unexpectedly, teammate Ci Shiping suddenly paid a visit, and as soon as he entered the door, he happily let Xie Chen watch the Cavaliers and Raptors. Raptors game.

At this time, Lowry happened to hit a Cavaliers player with a pass, making Ci Shiping laugh.

On the court, James was also angry: "This little bastard can pass such a bad pass. Young people just don't know how to play, and they don't pay attention to methods when losing."

Then, James ignored it. After getting a defensive rebound, he saw that Irving had passed half court and made a long throw. Irving tried his best to chase it, but to no avail, because James threw the ball directly out of bounds.

"Hahaha... Hahaha, these two teams made me laugh to death." Ci Shiping laughed even harder. He said to Xie Chen: "Have you noticed that these two teams are not playing seriously? They all want to lose on purpose! Do you know why?"

"Oh?" Xie Chen also saw the Raptors' intention to lose on purpose. They obviously didn't want to run into the Knicks. This was a situation that Xie Chen had expected, but he wanted to hear what Ci Shiping had to say.

"I don't know." Xie Chen shook his head.

Ci Shiping suddenly looked proud: "Obviously, they realize that whoever is first in the Eastern Conference will encounter us in the first round. You also know that guys like LeBron and DeRozan are afraid of me. I'll be a beast in the playoffs! It's understandable that they want to avoid us."

"Uh...that's it." Xie Chen didn't know that Ci Shiping's narcissism was serious again, but Ci Shiping's arrival gave Xie Chen a lot of joy, because this game was so interesting.

Kyle Lowry kept fouling in order to lose, especially when his opponent wanted to shoot a three-pointer. He would definitely send his opponent to three free throws. When James saw Lowry playing like this, he even more decisively knocked Carroll down. On the ground, I was ejected and stopped playing!

Happy New Year to everyone. May the new year bring a new atmosphere. Please also support the super all-around point guard. After all, you may not be able to see it this time next year.
