Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 518 The biggest challenge in the playoffs!

Dragic was a little nervous facing Xie Chen. Dragic has lived in the shadow of Xie Chen for the entire season. Both Heat fans and teammates miss Xie Chen, the former main point guard, and do not consider Dragic. Dzic takes it too seriously. Dragic has been waiting for the playoff matchup for a long time.

It stands to reason that Dragic should be happy this season. He was spotted by fortune teller Pat Riley and came to Miami to sign a big contract. He also bought a mansion on Sabal Plam Road, a wealthy neighborhood in Miami, and the singer who sang "Ringmy Bells" Lived here too.

It's a pity that having a comfortable life does not mean that it can make people happy. If he had known that Xie Chen was so deeply rooted in this city, Dragic would not have even thought about coming here.

Xie Chen also had feelings for Dragic, just like when O'Neal was forced to leave the Lakers and faced the Lakers' new big man Bynum, O'Neal had to teach him how to behave and tell Bynum that he could never replace his past self. Yes, Xie Chen did the same when facing Dragic.

However, he scored 5 points in a row at the beginning. After this steal, it was almost a must-goal. Xie Chen wanted to control the scoring a little, so he gave Derrick Williams a wink and asked him to hit the basket. Xie Chen is just responsible for passing the ball.

"Oh? Xie Chen didn't dunk the ball himself, but gave it to his teammate Derrick Williams. If he had hit it himself, it would have been 7 points now." Ke Fan was surprised.

Su Qun also smiled and said: "Probably let my teammates gain some confidence with dunks first."

The Heat's offense was not smooth at first, but they did a good job defensively. Hassan Whiteside, the inside gate, is really scary. Xie Chen also has the feeling that he only knows how difficult Hassan is after being an opponent.

Whether it is Anthony or Xie Chen, whether it is Porzingis or Lopez, it is difficult to score within his defensive range. He firmly controls the rebounds and can score 2+1 consecutively.

Seeing that his good brother was stronger than last year, Xie Chen was also very happy for him. Hassan Whiteside's current trainer is Mourning, and since Xie Chen left, Hassan has become the target of Riley's special attention. This season, Hassan has made such great progress, all thanks to Riley's devil It comes from training.

Hassan is not a person who likes this kind of training. Every time Hassan is overwhelmed by training, he especially hopes that Xie Chen can drive him away in a sports car, just like last year.

After one quarter, Xie Chen only scored 7 points, which was somewhat unexpected by the bettors.

Ke Fan said in surprise: "He only scored 7 points in the first quarter. I thought he would start attacking mode as soon as he scored those two goals."

Su Qun was also puzzled: "Maybe the Heat were in average shape in the first quarter, so they didn't exert their full strength. When the Heat picked up momentum, Xie Chen's scoring would definitely jump up."

If he wants to win against an opponent like the Heat, unless his teammates perform particularly well, Xie Chen must score more than 30 points. Xie Chen knows that he cannot avoid the showdown in the Legend Challenge, so he wants to get assists as much as possible before his score breaks 30. Also close to double figures.

In the second quarter, he also scored and assisted at the same time. Xie Chen's half-time data was 17 points and 6 assists. The Heat lead by 2 points.

At this time, Ke Fan was depressed: "I lost, Teacher Su, you won. Xie Chen is really not in a hurry to score. It seems that he really needs three quarters to score 30 points."

Su Qun thought he would be the winner of the bet, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to remain calm in the third quarter.

"It's really strange. Xie Chen still scores more than 20 points now. Does he trust his teammates so much? This is not the Xie Chen he was when he played with the Raptors." Su Qun said in surprise.

Ke Fan said: "Perhaps Xie Chen has different offensive plans when playing against the Raptors and against the Heat, but I feel that his own crazy scoring is more direct and effective, otherwise the Heat would not be able to take the lead now."

Many people are looking forward to Xie Chen's sudden outburst. Many people also think that Xie Chen will use all his energy in the fourth quarter. No one dares to take it lightly.

After that, Xie Chen scored 25 points in three quarters, but he did not break 30 points.

"We all lost..." Ke Fan and Su Qun looked at each other.

Not only did the two commentators not guess, but all the Heat generals also did not expect that Xie Chen would be so kind and did not go on a killing spree in the first three quarters. Is it true that he treated his old club differently from other opponents? Raptors players said it was unfair.

Coach Spoelstra has been scratching his hair with a headache, thinking: "Xie is planning to take the game away in a wave in the fourth quarter. I must be keenly aware of the point where he breaks out, and then contain him. As long as If Xie doesn't break out in the fourth quarter, then we still have a chance to win this victory. Even Riley, who doesn't trust Xie, doesn't have hope for this series. Winning one game at home is enough for me."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xie Chen and Anthony were both absent. The Heat's substitute lineup overwhelmed the Knicks' substitute lineup, and the point difference began to gradually widen.

"This is why Xie Chen is so strong. There are still many experts who are not optimistic that the Knicks can win the championship. The lineup is not deep enough. The second team is like this when it encounters the Heat, let alone a team like the Spurs and Warriors. Xie Chen and Anthony must stay on the court to stabilize the situation, otherwise the score that the main players have worked so hard to maintain will be suddenly opened up by the opponent." Su Qun also felt a little melancholy when he saw this scene.

Ke Fan smiled and said: "I think the widening of the score difference is not entirely a bad thing. After all, according to Xie Chen's character, when he sees that he is about to lose, he will definitely attack with full firepower. Here, we have to challenge everyone who has fallen asleep. Friends who are watching, please don’t miss the fourth quarter, it will definitely be great to watch!”

25 points in the third quarter is not much for Xie Chen, but for a main star by league standards, it is not few. Xie Chen cannot score 50+60+ in every game.

After the opening, since Xie Chen had 8 assists and could still assist once more, he stopped when he scored 28 and continued to look for opportunities for his teammates.

Hassan was fouled again by the Knicks during a strong attack. This time it was Xie Chen, a good friend of his former teammate, who took the foul. Xie Chen pulled Hassan down without giving him any chance to score. However, Hassan was also very accurate in his free throws today. This made Xie Chen very depressed. Did Mourning also train him to shoot free throws? I really have time...

Hassan was not angry when he was fouled by Xie Chen. He took the opportunity to ask Xie Chen before walking to the free throw line: "You haven't exerted much force in the three quarters. Are you going to start playing seriously next?"

Xie Chen rolled his eyes at Hassan: "I won't talk to people who have blocked me."

Hassan laughed, stepped to the free throw line, and made both free throws.

But just when Hassan hit a free throw and all the Heat players were relaxed, the Knicks suddenly made a quick pass. After Xie Chen received the ball, he immediately started to speed up and went straight to the frontcourt!

"So fast! Xie Chen's speed is so fast!" Ke Fan exclaimed.

"It's coming, it's coming, Xie Chen is coming at the 30th minute." Su Qun also said.

"Defense!" Coach Spoelstra on the sidelines noticed that Xie Chen suddenly started to speed up and shouted to the players on the court. Xie Chen's action instantly changed the color of the entire sky!

Xie Chen ran all the way. Dragic and Luol Deng chased Xie Chen one after another. Hassan Whiteside also ran quickly, and he must reach his place before Xie Chen!

"This ball is going to be deducted! 30 points!" Ke Fan had already started his predictive explanation in advance.

Because Xie Chen broke through from the left, shook off Dragic all the way, then turned his back and passed Luol Deng, directly facing Hassan in the air, he could have dunked directly! Hassan will never commit a foul.

However, no one expected that Xie Chen, who was in the air, would suddenly be thrown back.

"Ray Allen?"

brush! A three-pointer, a clean catch.

Ke Fan and Su Qun were very embarrassed.

"I think we should not predict when Xie Chen will score 30 points. He seems to be deliberately going against us today..." Ke Fan said awkwardly.

However, just when the two decided not to predict anymore, Xie Chen's next attack was at the same rapid speed, going straight to the basket and dunking with a loud bang!

"Good shot!" The entire Knicks bench stood up. This dunk was so exciting!

Coach Spoelstra suddenly calmed down: "He's finally starting..."

Xie Chen couldn't see the changes in these people's expressions immediately because he was in another scene at this moment.

"Who will it be? Which year will it be the Heat?" Xie Chen sighed and finally looked up and opened his eyes.

"What?" Xie Chen was suddenly shocked, because the scene was still a sea of ​​white!

how so? Did the scene switch fail? In other words, the reason why the scene is still the same uniform is because... this is also the scene of the playoffs!

Everything in the venue is very familiar, no different from the previous American Airlines Arena. In other words, Xie Chen’s opponent tonight will not be too ancient.

Then, Xie Chen turned around and saw that it was indeed them!

LeBron James! Dwyane Wade! Chris Bosh! The Heat's Big Three who dominated the league in the past!

"Sure enough, I met the Heat with James." The Heat with James are also the strongest legendary Heat team. Xie Chen had already guessed that he would meet them.

As for which year this Heat team is, it also depends on the other teammates around them, Chalmers, Mike Bibby, Joel Anthony, Mike Miller...

From the names of other players, Xie Chen knew that this was the Heat in the 2010-2011 season, which was the first season that the Big Three were together. Although they did not win the championship this season, Xie Chen believed that this was the year they The strongest team in the league lost to the Mavericks only because of the relationship between Wade and James.

In 2011, the abilities of James and Wade were invincible. This is also the most terrifying thing about this team. James has always been so strong. Everyone seems to be used to it, but the Flash Wade, due to the recent two years, Injuries have had a greater impact, making people probably forget how Wade played in the past.

Compared to James, Xie Chen is more afraid of Wade's outburst.

"It seems that I have to defend Wade personally." Xie Chen glanced at Wade, who looked a little arrogant, and said to himself.

In fact, both Wade and James have been very arrogant this year. They think they are the best combination and no one can compare with them. They also defeated them easily in the playoffs this year. Various 4 :1 ended the battle overwhelmingly, and the team also relied particularly on the personal strength of the two individuals.

This is a team without a point guard in the traditional sense and a center in the traditional sense. If they want to win this game, they must slow down the Heat, especially not allowing James and Wade to fight. The chariot must run, otherwise the game cannot be played, so the Knicks' defensive strategy is to drag the chariot into the quagmire so that they cannot rush forward.

Before the game started, Xie Chen talked to the head coach, and Fisher also agreed with the defensive strategy against the legendary Heat.

This game really had a bit of a playoff feel to it. When Xie Chen played against the Raptors, including the Heat that he just played against in 2016, it didn’t feel like a real playoff showdown, but against the Big Three of James Wade, Bosh , the atmosphere felt very heavy as soon as I came up.

The Knicks used man-to-man defense at the beginning, using Derrick Williams to defend James, and the effect was pretty good. Neither James nor Wade had a chance to score. Similarly, it was difficult for the Knicks to score, even Xie Chen's shooting percentage was affected.

After playing for a few minutes, the score was still in single digits. This gave Xie Chen, who had played for three full quarters, a headache because the defense was too exhausting.

After that, the Knicks defended a zone for the sake of zone defense, but instead gave James a chance to flourish from the outside. Xie Chen knew James very well, and James' long shots would not always go in. This goal did not worry Xie Chen too much.

The one guarding Xie Chen is Wade. Wade is a very difficult opponent. He doesn't give you a chance to take action from the outside at all. He also steals very hard. Xie Chen must always be careful of the basketball in his hands being taken away.

Xie Chen was temporarily unable to open the score with a Curry-style three-pointer, and could only play the most reliable two-pointer. Xie Chen thought of having more physical contact with Wade, and it was best to deceive Wade into foul trouble early. Come on, this game will be better.

Xie Chen played Wade in a low post, and the physical contact between the two sides was very large, and Wade's footsteps and strength were really at their absolute peak. However, Wade still couldn't guard Xie Chen's Jordan-style fadeaway jumper. De clearly made a push, but there was no penalty.

Xie Chen was very depressed and complained to the referee. In fact, in the past, Xie Chen would not have cared so much, but this game was different. In the past, it was okay to lose any Legend Challenge match, but now it is the playoffs, but We can't lose, the consequences of this game will be serious, and this legendary Heat team can also be said to be Xie Chen's biggest challenge in this year's playoffs.

The two teams have been fighting for defense. The four top superstars, James, Wade and Xie Chen Anthony, have not broken out. After two quarters, it is difficult to determine the outcome. However, in the third quarter, something suddenly changes.

LeBron James suddenly broke through the defense and attacked the inside like a tank. Porzingis stepped forward to resist and knocked Porzingis away!

The chariot is coming out of the mire!
