Super All-around Point Guard

In the TNT studio, many NBA celebrities also talked about the upcoming playoffs.

The host said: "This is the end of the regular season. This season always feels a little different. There are many surprises. The Golden State Warriors broke the best record maintained by the Chicago Bulls. Stephen Curry has no Doubt is the strongest contender for the regular season MVP. After three years of absence, Carmelo Anthony miraculously won the second scoring title he should have had long ago. If there is no accident, the New York Knicks' Porzingis will also win the Rookie of the Year award over Karl Towns. Chrissie, who swept all the major awards last year, has also locked up the league's assists and steals leader, defensive team, and best defensive player. I think this is all no problem."

"There is also the playoffs that are about to start. Last year, the Warriors and Rockets were in the Western Conference finals. This year, the two teams actually met in the first round. The first-round showdown in the Eastern Conference between the Raptors and the Knicks was also very interesting. Who No one expected that the Raptors would be first in the Eastern Conference, and no one would have thought that the Knicks would only finish eighth. Many people are discussing the issue of a black eight. Do you think such a situation will happen?"

Kenny Smith first said: "There will definitely be a black eight miracle in this year's playoffs. Many people say that both the Western and Eastern Conferences have a chance, because the eighth-ranked Rockets are a strong team that defeated the Los Angeles Clippers to advance to the Western Conference finals last year. The New York Knicks have two aces in Xie and Anthony and the best rookie in Porzingis. These two teams ranked eighth have higher strength than their rankings. I do not deny that the two teams They are all excellent, but there is no suspense at all in the Western Conference. Yes, there is no suspense at all. The Golden State Warriors are the team that has created the best record in history. They have only one opponent in the Western Conference, only the Spurs, and no other team. Can't stop them, but the East is different. The Toronto Raptors have been unable to break through the first round in the past few seasons. This year should have been their best chance, but unfortunately, they met Xie's team. I predict two The teams will play seven games, and the Knicks will become the sixth team in NBA history to create a black eight miracle!"

O'Neal also said excitedly: "Yes, the sixth black eight team has appeared. They are the New York Knicks. What Xie and Anthony can do, I have 100% confidence in them, let alone the Raptors, even if they are first The Cavaliers also have a chance of defeating each other. In my mind, the New York Knicks are the only opponents that can compete with the Warriors for the championship. Let’s see, Xie will make more moves in the playoffs. He definitely still has the ability to show off.”

…

Canada Toronto.

During the playoffs last year, the city of Toronto went crazy for the Raptors to participate in the playoffs. Raptors fans are very fanatical. They are full of fanatical fans no matter where they are. Unfortunately, the Raptors did not live up to expectations and lost in the first round. After defeat, this year they finally won the first place in the Eastern Conference and were supposedly the strongest team in the Eastern Conference. However, when they met the Knicks in the first round, the fans became uneasy again.

Raptors coach Devin Casey has been watching the Knicks game videos this season over and over in the past few days. In two days they will face the New York Knicks. On this day, Casey also seriously followed the team Let’s analyze how to beat the Knicks.

Casey pointed to the Knicks game on the screen and said to the team: "In the regular season, the Knicks focus on Anthony, and Xie is more about organizing offense, but in the playoffs, everything will become different. Although Anthony is their team’s scoring leader and the league’s scoring leader, but Xie is the guy who can score 60+ points in a single game, and our main task is to defend Xie.”

"Look at Xie's ball, as long as it passes halftime, it will be within Xie's three-point shooting range, especially when he slows down his speed. It seems that when organizing an offense, he especially likes to suddenly release a cold arrow, so Kyle Lowe Rui, you have to pay special attention to this when you are watching him, he may shoot a three-pointer at any time."

"In addition, once Xie appears in the low post, quickly double-team him without any hesitation. From this position, his fadeaway shot can ignore any defender."

"I watched his game videos these days and found that Xie has some physical problems this season, so what we have to do is try our best to wear him down and finally let Anthony dominate the game."

The Raptors players had different expressions. Neither Kyle Lowry nor DeRozan wanted to meet Xie Chen. Others felt scared when they heard Xie Chen's name. It would be fine if the Knicks only had Xie Chen, but behind Xie Chen In addition, Anthony, the scoring champion, and veterans such as Porzingis, Ray Allen, Metta World Peace and Odom cannot be completely ignored. Although they are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, they are facing the Knicks now, and they show no pride at all. Not coming out.

Terrence Ross suddenly asked: "Coach, these are the abilities you are looking at that Xie has already shown. If he still has abilities that he has not shown, what should we do then?"

Coach Casey sighed: "Then let's just wait to die."

It’s no wonder that the coaches who have the best record in the Eastern Conference are so negative. Xie Chen is really a player that all teams can’t figure out, and every time Xie Chen shows his ability, he must be amazing to everyone. Now Xie Chen It is already so comprehensive that the opponent has nothing to do. If there is another big killer, it seems that there is really no other way but to wait for death.

The New York Knicks team came to Toronto early to prepare for the game, and all the team members were in a relaxed state. This is why Xie Chen would not choose the Cavaliers as his first-round opponent.

Apart from the Bulls and Heat, Xie Chen doesn’t care who he plays in the first round. Xie Chen is also confident about playing the Cavaliers. If he can beat the Cavaliers, it will certainly be more satisfying, but his teammates and coaches don’t think so. From one game to the last game, their nerves will be very tense, they will be flustered, and they will never be in such a relaxed state now. Even if they can defeat the Cavaliers, this round will be enough to consume the players' minds.

Xie Chen didn't want the whole team to be exhausted in the first round.

During the team training, coach Fisher called Xie Chen aside to chat.

"Xie, how do you plan to fight against the next opponent?" Fisher respects Xie Chen's opinion very much. Thanks to Xie Chen, he also ushered in his first playoff game since coaching, so the whole person It's very exciting.

Xie Chen was a little confused: "You are the head coach, so of course you play according to your ideas. Why are you asking me like this?"

Fisher said: "In the regular season, you only occasionally try your best. In most cases, you leave it to your teammates to handle. In the playoffs, I know you will take over the game again. What I want to ask you is, The Raptors are also the number one team in the Eastern Conference, do you plan to use your hidden abilities against them?"

It turned out that Fisher wanted to ask Xie Chen when his hidden ultimate move would be released. As a head coach, he knew it well in advance. However, the problem was that all of Xie Chen's abilities were exposed. There really were no hidden abilities left. Xie Chen is preparing to copy Michael Jordan's layup ability, but it's hard to say whether he can meet the Bulls. Even if he does, it will only be after beating the Raptors.

Xie Chen was a little embarrassed: "I don't think I will need it to fight the Raptors."

Fisher also nodded: "Well, before meeting the knight, it's better to keep it in reserve. I will talk to Anthony and ask him to work harder, so that you can easily defeat the opponent without using your hidden abilities. "

April 17, Toronto, Canada, Aviation Center Arena.

Game 1 of the first round playoff matchup between the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks finally started. The stadium was packed with people. The fanaticism of the Toronto fans was shocking. They kept shouting the names of the home players and dressed neatly. In addition, whether it is outdoors or indoors, as long as there is a big screen broadcasting the game, there will be many Raptors fans gathered.

"Those who say the Knicks can complete the miracle of Black Eight are too funny! Do you really think we are such a weak team? The Knicks only have Xie and Anthony, why do they have so much confidence!" The scene was fierce Dragons fans roared angrily.

Before this round of playoffs, news about the Knicks defeating the Raptors has been widely circulated, which made the Raptors, who are number one in the Eastern Conference, very embarrassed. They obviously won the first place and proved it in the long regular season. Despite his own strength, he was still looked down upon by others.

Raptors fans can't stand it even more. They can't listen to such remarks at all. In their hearts, if the Raptors can win first place, they are definitely the best team in the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, when Xie Chen and Anthony appeared on the stage, you can imagine how loud the boos were.

Xie Chen just walked onto the court and was a little shocked. The pressure on this away game cannot be ignored. It is not an exaggeration to say it is the Devil's home court. The fans in Toronto are too fanatical, especially when the Raptors have been unable to break through in the past few seasons. In the first round of the playoffs, they really want to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals this year.

Raptors coach Casey has been encouraging the morale of his players before the game, asking them to show the morale of the first team in the Eastern Conference. They are sitting at home, and they should not have any worries or cowardice.

From the beginning, the Raptors showed their No. 1 style in the Eastern Conference. DeRozan scored 5 points in a row with a three-pointer and a fadeaway jumper, taking the lead in showing off.

Xie Chen was not in a hurry to respond. After all, his opponent was ranked number one in the Eastern Conference. Even if the Cavaliers lost on purpose, they were still second in strength in the Eastern Conference and could not be defeated all at once, so Xie Chen would take his time.

In this series against the Raptors, Xie Chen plans to use two abilities to defeat them. One is Stephen Curry's three-point ability, which is the most threatening weapon. Needless to say, the second is Jordan's fadeaway. Jump shooting ability.

Xie Chen plans to kill the Raptors with shots instead of scoring inside, because throughout the regular season, the Raptors allowed opponents 96.4 points, fourth in the league, and their defensive strategy is to delay the ball carrier and attack the three-point line. , to cover the interior, the Raptors are still an old-school team that believes in "the farther the ball is, the easier it is to miss."

Many people don't know what the key point of this game is, because they don't know that playing away from home means that for Xie Chen, it means that he may lose his ability. Therefore, Xie Chen is very cautious, knowing that he will play two games in a row tonight, so I've had plenty of rest these days.

Fortunately, the Legend Raptors did not have a very strong team, but when it came to such a big thing as losing ability, Xie Chen had to be careful.

"I don't know if I can win this game if I don't score 30 points?"

If he doesn't score 30 points or 10 rebounds or 10 assists, Xie Chen doesn't have to accept the challenge of the legendary Raptors, and naturally there is no possibility of losing his ability. However, for a team like the Raptors, Xie Chen doesn't have to accept the challenge of the legendary Raptors. To score more than 30 points, you have to rely on your teammates to perform well, especially Anthony who is good at singles.

But unfortunately, Anthony was not in good condition tonight, and the boos from the fans were really loud. After Anthony made a three-point penalty, the sound was deafening, which directly caused Anthony to miss the second free throw. Even Anthony, who has been in the NBA for so many years, cannot completely ignore the pressure of this devil's away game.

Fortunately, Xie Chen's shooting percentage will not have much impact. He has been relying on his own shooting to maintain the score. Not long after the beginning of the third quarter, Xie Chen's score exceeded 30.

Xie Chen didn't expect to score 30 points so early. He wanted to wait until the fourth quarter, because once he encounters a legendary team so early, if he loses, he will be incapable in the remaining two quarters, which will be too harmful to the team.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. The entire team has to rely on Xie Chen to score alone, and Xie Chen doesn't want the Raptors to have a tailwind.

Xie Chen knew in his heart that he had played so many Legend Challenge games, and this was the first time he could only win but not lose. Once they lost, the Raptors would never win.

In the past few days, Xie Chen has learned about all the Raptors teams in the past. He has strategies to deal with any team from any year.

"It turned out to be them." When the scene switched to another time and space, Xie Chen saw his former teammate Chris Bosh.

The former "Dragon King" Bosh, Xie Chen and Bosh stayed together for a whole season, but when I saw it here, I still felt a little unfamiliar. Bosh during the Raptors period still had long braids and wore a helmet on his right hand. Wristband, the whole person looks very domineering, very boss-like, but when it comes to the Heat's Bosh, he is not as mature as the Bosh in front of him.

Bosh shouldn't have cut his hair. It's obvious that long hair suits him. His look after the Heat looked too much like a giraffe.

In addition to Chris Bosh, Xie Chen also saw an acquaintance, Bargnani.

"I actually met him..." Xie Chen was really surprised to see this old acquaintance. The last time he flew to Bagnani, his model girlfriend complained. He went to Xie Chen's room to argue with Xie Chen. Xie Chen still remembers it now. new.

"Wait a minute, isn't that crazy woman here?" Xie Chen curiously glanced towards the audience. He didn't see the model girlfriend, but saw Bargnani's ex-girlfriend, who was a Nabila, a female volleyball player with an equally hot figure.
