Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 508 The fierce second showdown!

The second game of the series between the Knicks and the Raptors continued at the Raptors' home court. In the first game, the Raptors suffered a massacre by Xie Chen alone. Almost all Raptors fans hated and feared Xie Chen, and some even I hope that Xie Chen will not be able to play the game due to food poisoning during these few days in Toronto.

On Valentine's Day, Xie Chen impressed Toronto fans. They did fall in love with Xie Chen's gorgeous and violent dunk performance, but now he has become an enemy that hinders their team's promotion.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who did not play today, also watched the live broadcast.

"I don't know if the Raptors can beat them in this game. If they lose two home games in a row, there will really be no suspense in this series." James sat in front of the TV early, caring more about this than anyone else. The result of the game.

All the players on the Raptors looked serious. The loss in the last game was too frustrating. This time they must show their majesty as the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. No matter what happens, Xie Chen can't let Xie Chen score 60 points by himself. Wow, this is simply a joke!

Before the game, Anthony also said to Xie Chen: "I think something is wrong with the Raptors. They can't let you score points wantonly anymore. Be careful, their defense may be much more brutal than the last game."

"I understand, they are not low-level guys, but they will do this in order to stop me." Xie Chen certainly knows how his opponent is feeling, so this game is no longer as crazy as the last one. The record has been broken. Now, he has also received the fusion point reward. In this game, he will not be in a hurry for success.

As soon as the game started, DeRozan kept attacking the Knicks inside, and he performed very ferociously, scoring points one after another. From DeRozan's performance, we can also see the attitude of the entire Raptors, they must win this game even if they fight to the death, otherwise , No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, it would be a joke if all two home wins were lost!

Xie Chen plays the same way as DeRozan, attacking the inside without any intention of confronting the opponent. He just directs the ball outward, and his teammates continue to move the ball to those who have opportunities.

Derrick Williams and Porzingis finally found their form. They hit three-pointers one after another as soon as the game started. The scores were almost the same, but the Knicks still led.

Coach Casey shook his head: "I knew that they didn't have a good shooting touch in the last game. They definitely can't be like that in this game. It seems that it is still difficult to win this game!"

In the last game, they could win the game just by strangling Xie Chen. Unfortunately, the Raptors didn't do it. In today's game, even if they restricted Xie Chen, it would be difficult for them to win because others have already shown their power, especially It's rookie Porzingis.

In fact, Xie Chen has been encouraging Porzingis. He was disappointed for a long time after his poor performance in the first game, and he was determined to perform at the level of the regular season in the second game.

"I'm the best rookie!" Porzingis encouraged himself.

Not only did Porzingis start scoring, he also had a surprising performance on defense.

This was when the Raptors were passing the ball from the outside. Porzingis kept staring at their passing route. After predicting that the ball was about to be passed, he took a long step, stretched out his long arms, and immediately intercepted the ball. !

After Porzingis stole the ball, he didn't even think about playing a safe offense. He started to rush to the basket. Maybe he was too excited. With his height, Scola couldn't catch up with him!

"This big man is so fast!" Stephen Curry, who was watching the ball, couldn't help but be surprised.

Xie Chen and Anthony were also following on the left and right. Porzingis could pass the ball to any direction, but he was persistent and took the ball all the way to the basket for a one-handed dunk!

boom!

The ball was smashed in and caused Scola's thug to foul!

Because Scola's defense was particularly fierce this time, he directly pushed Porzingis to the ground.

Xie Chen and Anthony quickly stepped forward to pull him up and praised him in unison: "Well done!"

Porzingis smiled happily and seemed to have completely forgotten the pain he had just suffered. From Scola's defense, it was obvious that the Raptors' defensive attitude tonight was obvious.

"If you don't let go of the ball like this, it seems like the Raptors are really going to be tough in this game." Xie Chen also felt a little worried.

James, who was watching the game, was even more melancholy: "You must pay close attention to this guy Porzingis. His three-pointers and his height are both threats."

However, the Raptors' offensive was still so fierce. DeRozan was madly attacking the inside, while Lowry focused on three-pointers from the outside. The two aces, one inside and one outside, had a miraculous effect and quickly turned the score around.

"It seems that I have to take action." Xie Chen originally thought that his teammates were in good condition and that he would not need to score so many points and might avoid a Legend Challenge match, but now it seems that it is difficult to do so.

Now guarding Xie Chen is James Johnson, the Raptors' No. 3. Johnson is very close to Xie Chen, and he keeps making small moves. Xie Chen uses his speed to get rid of him and goes straight to the basket. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen jumps together, and Johnson jumps from Someone from behind suddenly rushed over and knocked Xie Chen down!

Fortunately, Xie Chen used James' layup ability, otherwise, this would not be something that ordinary people could bear.

Knicks fans began to worry. The Raptors indeed adopted the toughest level of defense against Xie Chen. They would not hesitate to commit fouls and stop Xie Chen from scoring at all costs!

"With Johnson's weight and strength, it seems like Xie is going to suffer tonight." LeBron James murmured.

However, James didn't know that Xie Chen had his power, so it wasn't too hard to fight Johnson.

Xie Chen relied on free throws to score points again and again. With Xie Chen's personality, he would never be afraid of breakthroughs due to the increase in defensive intensity. However, the referee tonight was very annoying. The Knicks fans on the Internet were so angry that they posted a foul.

At this time, the Warriors generals who were watching the game also laughed. Green said with a smile: "If the Raptors and Knicks play like this in every game, I guess Xie can make it to the finals without even making it. He couldn't walk anymore. He shouldn't have been so arrogant in the first game. He scored so many points at his home court. This was the playoffs and he was still No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Although he was a few notches behind us, No. 1 in the Western Conference, he was still the best. Inviolable.”

Coach Cole was also full of confidence: "I hope Xie won't get injured, otherwise it would be boring for our team, the strongest team in history, to win disgracefully."

The current Warriors don't take any team seriously. With the best record in history, they are considered destined to win the championship.

Xie Chen and Anthony played very hard, and the game finally looked like a playoff matchup. It didn't become Xie Chen's personal exhibition game like the last game. Xie Chen didn't score more than 30 points until the fourth quarter, and it was after experiencing Countless physical confrontations, players defending him one after another, took turns consuming Xie Chen's physical strength, and most of them had already committed more than three fouls.

It is still inevitable to challenge the legendary Raptors. This time, he did not meet the Dragon King Bosh, but the cousins ​​of McGart. This was not the first time that Xie Chen played against them. McGrady was strong in blocking shots during the Raptors period, but his offensive ability was still lacking. Before reaching his peak, Carter's most powerful thing was dunking. He was never a terrible leader like Jordan from beginning to end.

Therefore, Xie Chen worked hard to defeat them in three quarters, and rested well in the last quarter. When he faced Lori DeRozan and the others again, he still had sufficient physical strength, but the game lasted too long. Xie Chen A little annoyed.

"Playing two 48-minute games in a row is really not what humans do. Looking at the situation, it is difficult to determine the outcome of this game until the last minute. If there is overtime, it will really make me vomit." Returning from the legendary plot, Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when he looked at the competition situation in front of him.

In this game, the Knicks' inside line was really broken up by the Raptors. Lopez fouled out and left the game. Porzingis also had 4 fouls. Even Anthony had 4 fouls. DeRozan's impact It's so strong, and Kyle Lowry was also in very good shape tonight, hitting 6 of 9 three-pointers. This was under Xie Chen's defense. It's not easy to achieve such a shooting rate.

Fortunately, the entire Knicks team performed well, otherwise this game would have been defeated by the Raptors.

Coach Casey looked at the situation in front of him and said to himself: "This is the best state we can get. Today is home again. This is the most promising game in this series. If today If we still can’t win, then it’s really over.”

For the Knicks, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose. Anyway, their goal is to win a game on the road. But it's different for the Raptors. They must win. Who can win two consecutive away games? Do you think they will win two away games in a row?

Therefore, the mentality of the players on both sides is also different. The Knicks' players are in good condition, but as the game drags on to the end, the Raptors are still so strong. They, especially the Boston Celtics who have performed well in entering the playoffs for the first time. Erzingis is a bit weak.

In the last two minutes of the game, the Raptors and Knicks were tied again!

"It seems that this game may go into overtime. If it goes into overtime, the Raptors, who are better overall, may have a chance to win the game." LeBron James was still focused until this point.

The final attack at the last moment must be handed over to the ace. Xie Chen held the ball, and DeRozan was guarding him. Xie Chen leaned sideways against DeRozan, not thinking about how to attack, but Observing the Raptors' defense, they slowly reached the free throw line. This is the position where Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper has a very high shooting rate. Xie Chen quickly leaned on DeRozan. Just when someone was about to double-team, Xie Chen turned around, and then Jump shot, hit the ball accurately!

"Damn it!"

"This is simply a BUG!"

Raptors supporters were resentful. In these two games, Xie Chen often scored with extremely difficult fadeaway jumpers. What was annoying was that Xie Chen's shooting percentage was extremely high. In their view, he was already a top scorer. It's like a bug, because you can't guard it at all. Curry's three-pointers are also very BT, but fortunately you can guard them. How can you guard against fadeaway jumpers?

LeBron James also shook his head slightly: "It's so accurate, it's so accurate! Even better than Kobe's! Who in our team can guard against Xie's fade away? I may be able to cause him great damage. Big interference, but I can't guard him all the time. Can JR Smith be trusted? JR's jumping is not as good as before, alas..."

On the court, the atmosphere was a little tense. The opponent was leading by two points again. The pressure was on the home team. Coach Casey did not call a timeout. Kyle Lowry had the ball in his hand, his face was solemn and his breathing was short.

"This game is very important to us, we must not lose!" Kyle Lowry's eyes were stern and he brought the ball to half court. Xie Chen kept staring at him.

"Are you ready to fight back? Just shoot. If I don't guard you, you will definitely miss." Xie Chen saw Lowry being nervous and took the opportunity to challenge Lowry and put pressure on him.

Lori wouldn't believe Xie Chen's lies, but this time, Lori really wanted to fight Xie Chen alone.

Lowry was one-on-one with Xie Chen at a 45-degree angle on the left wing. He still had no intention of passing the ball, and his body was outside the three-point line. Xie Chen had to beware of Lowry's three-pointer, because this guy had already finished tonight They made 6 of 9 shots and were in very good condition. If they were allowed to overtake at this juncture, it would be troublesome.

Lowry controlled the rhythm, suddenly stopped the ball and made a shooting motion!

Xie Chen hurriedly followed up and did not jump in a hurry. Fortunately, he was not impulsive, because Lowry's goal was to get a foul!

Xie Chen moved in front of Lori. Lori didn't care whether Xie Chen jumped or not, and leaned directly on Xie Chen. Xie Chen was also shocked. He never expected that in the end he would pin his hopes on Pengci. , Fortunately, Xie Chen reacted quickly. When he saw that he had missed the best shooting opportunity, he quickly moved away, preventing Lowry from succeeding, and knocked the basketball out of Lowry's hand.

This fight also helped Lowry. Lowry used his body in front of Xie Chen and quickly grabbed the ball. At this time, Xie Chen no longer dared to touch Lowry, for fear that this guy would try to cause a foul again. At this moment At this time, Lowry quickly threw it to the basket and the ball went in!

Because he had already stepped inside the three-point circle, it was a two-pointer.

"It's a tie, well done to Kyle Lowry!" The fans at the scene also became excited.

Xie Chen was a little depressed. Lowry had already scored a lot of points on him today, which made him lose face. Just like this ball, he had defended it very well, but Lowry still scored.

"We must not let them drag it into overtime. My teammates no longer have the fighting spirit to win." Xie Chen must resolve the game in just over a minute.

Since you don’t want to play overtime, you have to choose to score a three-pointer. But at this time, is it too risky to use Stephen Curry’s three-point ability? Once they miss the shot, they may not go to overtime because they lose!

"Perhaps, I should trust LeBron James." After thinking for a while, Xie Chen decided to use another method.
