Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 517 The semi-finals begin!

If Xie Chen had not left the Heat, if Pat Riley could have more trust and freedom in Xie Chen, if Chris Bosh could be willing to assist Xie Chen, maybe this season would not be like this at all. At least the Heat would still be the league champion. The strongest contender.

Xie Chen enjoyed this practice match, playing with these familiar and unfamiliar guys. Xie Chen seemed to have returned to the time when he first arrived in the Heat a year ago. From being unfamiliar with each other to having a deep friendship, it was a kind of It's a very rare experience. You know, before joining the Heat, Wade can be said to be Xie Chen's idol. Even when Xie Chen first became a member of the Heat, LeBron James had not left. Xie Chen once thought that he could compete with these two superstars. Be teammates together.

While these people were laughing and playing the game, a man walked into the training hall, team president Pat Riley.

"Why did the practice match suddenly start? Oh? Chris Xie is here too?" Riley walked forward slowly and was obviously much surprised to see Xie Chen's appearance. Riley now seems to be better than he was a year ago. He looks a lot older. He always wants to have everything under his control. After James left last season, Xie Chen suddenly appeared and unexpectedly brought the team a championship. But after winning the championship , but Riley became even more melancholy.

Riley always believed that Xie Chen's body could not support his style of play. He believed that Xie Chen would get injured sooner or later if he played like this, and he might be injured and stopped for several consecutive seasons like Rose. However, after one season, Xie Chen did stop playing. He has played many games, but was suspended not because of injury, but because of fighting. Xie Chen can almost defeat the Magic on his own, which has proven that his body is no longer a serious problem.

Xie Chen hadn't noticed Riley yet. Riley glanced at the brother basketball between Xie Chen and Wade Hassan on the court, and said to Fisher: "Let them stop, Xie is our opponent in the next round, If something happens to him here, I don’t know what to say to Phil.”

"Okay." Fisher clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Let's take a rest."

Hearing Fisher's voice, Xie Chen looked to the sidelines and saw Pat Riley. His relationship with Riley was also very awkward now, just like when James left the Heat, but Riley took the initiative to invite Xie Chen went to the locker room to chat.

The two walked to the locker room. Xie Chen still remembered his place, which was in the very corner, but the name on it had been replaced by Winslow.

"Remember that was where you were?" Pat Riley smiled.

Xie Chen nodded: "Of course, I remember every place here, especially the carnival in the locker room after winning the championship. Only after winning the championship did I know how exciting it was to win the championship. It has been a whole year." Years later, when I think of the crazy scenes at that time, I still feel my heart surge."

Pat Riley nodded and said: "Well, that's why each of our teams spares no effort to pursue the championship. I think just completing the black eight miracle is not your goal. You still want to win the championship this year, right? I I have to admit, if you insist on winning, our Heat can't stop you, but the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, your current lineup really can't resist."

Xie Chen smiled softly. He knew that Riley was saying that the Knicks team did not have decent championship equipment. The main lineup was indeed good enough, but the second lineup was too shabby, and once one of Xie Chen and Anthony fell into Trouble, then this team will instantly become a second-rate weak team.

But that's not the case with the Warriors and Spurs. Even if Curry and Leonard are away, they are still very strong.

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Do you still remember what you called me to the arena and said to me when we were three games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs last year? Why, as soon as I became an opponent, you stopped encouraging me? "

Pat Riley also laughed after hearing this: "Haha, I really shouldn't have said such discouraging words to you, I'm sorry."

The two chatted for a while, and just when Riley was about to get up and leave, Xie Chen suddenly asked: "Do you regret letting me go?"

Riley sighed, his face gloomy, and he answered after a long time: "Many people said that the divine fortune teller failed, and that I miscalculated you. You have become more terrifying this season than last season, and you are not worried at all. Health problems, but if I were asked to choose again, I would still do it. Sorry, Xie, I can’t understand you. I don’t fight uncertain battles. If I’m not wrong, the same goes for that old guy Phil Jackson. I can’t understand you, but he is willing to put all his bets on you, and this is the difference between me and him.”

Pat Riley finished speaking and prepared to leave.

"So he has more championship rings than you! So you are destined to lose to him as a coach, and you will lose to him as a manager!" Xie Chen suddenly became hysterical. Who said he didn't care about Riley's distrust? Xie Chen had been holding back this sentence for almost a year.

If he hadn't come to the Heat training facility today, if he hadn't played with Wade Hassan as his teammate, making Xie Chen feel like he was still the same Heat player, perhaps Xie Chen would never have said these words to Pat Riley.

Pat Riley didn't look back and walked away.

A minute later, Wade walked in, stepped forward and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder, comforting him: "Forget it, it's over. Don't think about it anymore. In fact, the one who the Heat hates to leave you the most is Riley. He often talks about you." He is the player he most wants to coach, but you two are too similar in a way."

Xie Chen stayed in the Heat locker room for a short while and then left. Miami is also his home, and he also bought a mansion here. However, although the conditions are good, he still misses the simple house he rented.

Turn on the TV at night, T. These old guys at NT are talking about the showdown between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat.

The host said: "Tomorrow will start a new round of series. Teams that are not qualified to compete for the championship are slowly being eliminated. The strongest team is slowly showing their strength. The New York Knicks, this The team at the bottom of the league last season, this season with the addition of Xie, instantly became the strongest dark horse, knocking out the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference in the first round. I believe the Raptors still cannot accept the fact that they left so early. The Miami Heat It's also unlucky because they're going to face these crazy guys next, so what are your thoughts on this series?"

Charles Barkley looked serious: "I remember after Xie won the championship with the Miami Heat last season, people started talking about whether Xie could become the first person in history. At that time, we all thought it was too early, but since this year's post-season Judging from his performance in the game, Xie may really want to challenge the throne occupied by Michael Jordan. He swept the Raptors 4:0 without any effort and even performed in the game. It was absolutely impossible for the Heat to win so easily. Xie and the Knicks have brought a slight obstacle. Dwyane Wade has lost control of the game. He averaged less than 20 points per game this season. In fact, in last year's playoffs, he was no longer as good as before. If we want to rely on Wade to win this series, then Wade needs to perform well in at least five consecutive games. Without Wade, who can the Heat rely on to defeat the Knicks? Hassan, who has no leadership qualities at all? Chris Bosh, who's in a state of uncertainty? Or Dragic, who still can't fully integrate into the Heat?"

"I agree with Charles." O'Neal followed up and said: "The New York Knicks will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and meet the Cavaliers. The Heat are not better than the Raptors. If the Knicks can easily sweep the Raptors, they will definitely beat the Heat. It's just that There won’t be another sweep, I predict they will lose 1 or 2 games at most.”

Seeing these seniors bragging about themselves, Xie Chen shook his head helplessly. This time, whether it was the media or the fans, everyone had the same view. They all believed that the Knicks would win this series. Unfortunately, they It’s impossible to know Xie Chen’s difficulties.

The first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Heat and the Knicks was held as scheduled at the American Airlines Arena.

Just like last year's playoffs, the entire stadium was a sea of ​​white, the seats were packed, and everyone was uniformly dressed.

Xie Chen walked into the arena. The fans there applauded and booed, but most of them just stared at Xie Chen blankly, silent.

This time last year, Xie Chen appeared at the American Airlines Arena and received cheers from the audience. Everyone regarded Xie Chen as a hero. Heat fans still love him, but Xie Chen has become their enemy.

"You shouldn't boo him, kid. Without him last year, we wouldn't have won the championship." A white young man said to a young man next to him who booed Xie Chen.

Xie Chen tried his best not to be disturbed by these external things and warmed up alone. Frankly speaking, he was a little nervous today.

He raised his head and looked at the jerseys hanging above the arena. There were no jerseys from LeBron James or Wade Bosh. If they were the above guys, Xie Chen would be confident...

When he came to his senses, Xie Chen found that he had already started to jump the ball.

"So fast!" Xie Chen was slightly surprised.

Seeing that Xie Chen was in a daze, Anthony patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xie Chen shook his head and walked to his seat.

"Okay, the first game between the Heat and the Knicks has finally begun. Everyone can start predicting how many points Xie Chen will score tonight!" Su Qun also looked excited in the Tencent live broadcast room.

"100 points!" the beautiful host Mina jumped and shouted.

Ke Fan smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble. Miami is Xie Chen's old club after all. Xie Chen won't be so cruel. I think forty or fifty will be enough. And if you don't count overtime, four points in four quarters will be enough." Fifty points is enough to beat the Heat."

The Knicks scored the first goal, but Xie Chen finally took the shot and hit a three-pointer.

"Good shot!" Ke Fan shouted excitedly when Xie Chen scored his first three-pointer.

Su Qun was also excited: "Xie Chen is coming, everyone is optimistic. The first three-pointer was so accurate. It seems that his condition is still as good as the last round. I think although Coach Spoel has coached Xie Chen Xie for one season, but he probably doesn’t know how to guard Xie Chen, haha.”

The Cavaliers generals in Cleveland were also paying attention to this game. When Thompson saw Xie Chen hit a three-pointer in the Heat's first attack, he couldn't help asking James: "Will this guy Xie score another 60 points tonight? "

LeBron James chuckled: "Why not? Isn't this the way he always wins? He doesn't need to trust his teammates at all. As long as the opponent doesn't guard him, he has a chance to hit the shot. The Heat are the same as the Raptors. , there is nothing you can do about it. Just wait and see, this will be another personal performance."

"It's a pity that these guys from the Heat are very close to Xie. They won't do anything drastic to stop Xie. I originally thought he would be injured before he met us..." Grow a beard The slightly aged JR Smith also said.

The atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena was very tense. Everyone was very nervous because Xie Chen was so awesome. Xie Chen was once a hero of this city. Everyone was in awe of Xie Chen, but in fact, Xie Chen was just as nervous.

"Three points, 27 points left." After Xie Chen scored the first goal, he was busy keeping his score in mind. He wanted to know clearly how close he was to challenging the legendary Heat.

The Heat are not to be outdone. Wade enjoys the opportunity to compete with Xie Chen. Although he also knows that he can no longer compete with Xie Chen one-on-one, and even his peak self may not necessarily be able to defeat Xie Chen, but Wade is still slow. Slowly relied on experience to score two points at the basket in response.

After the goal, Wade smiled at Xie Chen. It is rare to see such expressions between opponents in the playoffs.

Wade is also relieved. He has experienced everything he should have experienced in the NBA. Otherwise, when he was young, even if he had a good relationship with Xie Chen, he would not be like this.

Xie Chen wants to control his own scoring, but sometimes the more you try to control something, the more it will come to you, as if God is deliberately against you.

Hassan received a pass from Wade, but was intercepted by Lopez from behind, and then quickly threw the ball to Xie Chen. Xie Chen wanted to score a goal and assist a goal, but had no choice but to quickly run to the basket. Dragic poured the ball over his head.

"Good shot!" Ke Fan shouted again in the Tencent live broadcast room, "It's 5 points. This scoring efficiency is unparalleled. Teacher Su, how about we make a bet. Bet that Xie Chen can get 30 points in a few quarters." Minutes, I guess two quarters.”

Su Qun thought for a while and replied: "Then I'd better be conservative. I guess three quarters, because coach Spoel clearly knows that this is Xie Chen's team and will definitely contain him. He will not let Xie Chen score 30 in halftime." Divided.”

"I guess one quarter! Xie Chen can score 30 points in one quarter!" the beautiful host also said.

Ke Fan laughed and said: "Okay, the loser will be treated to a meal. Teacher Su is prepared to pay. Xie Chen's state today is either one or two quarters. It can't be wrong."

Ke Fan's guess seemed to be correct, because the next moment, Xie Chen suddenly intercepted Dragic's ball!

Today’s game is really awesome. I didn’t expect that the first ability copied by our protagonist is the most BT ability in the world... Will new readers think, "Oh shit, Curry has the ability every day." Look at the P”
