Super All-around Point Guard

"ah!"

After causing Anthony's foul and scoring 2+1, Love roared excitedly, waving his arms, and the curly hair on his head trembled.

Love is now considered a very handsome player, at least in the NBA. Speaking of Love's hairstyle, he was not like this in college. He had a flat head and a fat and white body. Later, he grew his hair long. He has grown a beard and become more masculine. His current hairstyle is exactly the same as that of the mythical "God of Love" Cupid. It seems that Love really wants to be the "God of Love".

Due to Love's crazy scoring, the Knicks were already 10 points behind.

"Love is great! His presence gave the Cavaliers a double-digit lead in the first quarter! I can't imagine what the result would have been with the Heat if he hadn't been injured last season."

"If Love had not been injured and missed the game, Xie Chen and the others would have had no hope of a comeback last year. Love is an indispensable general for the Cavaliers to win the championship!"

Love ignited the audience, and the entire Quicken Loans Arena was chanting Kevin Love's name. Love also became arrogant. Before the free throw, he walked to the position close to Xie Chen and actually stepped forward and said provocatively : "Do you now know the reason why you made it to the finals last year?"

The implication of Love is that Xie Chen was able to enter the finals only because Love was absent and did not play. Xie Chen only had this opportunity. If Love was here, Xie Chen would never have the chance to enter the finals.

Xie Chen held his breath. He couldn't refute. Last year, when he was 0:3 behind, it was a lot of luck that he could reverse without Love. If Love was there, the probability of reverse would be even slimmer. With the Big Three, It's impossible for the Cavaliers to lose four games in a row.

When Xie Chen won the championship last season, many people questioned Xie Chen's championship content, saying that Xie Chen won a championship because of his good luck and when Love was injured.

Kevin Love has proven himself, and now, Xie Chen also has to prove himself. He can never be defeated by Love. He does not allow others to say that he won the championship because he was lucky and did not meet anyone. It seems that some people still say that , Olajuwon won the championship just two years ago when Jordan was away. This is very uncomfortable. Olajuwon could not prove himself back then, but now Xie Chen has this opportunity.

Hassan Whiteside was at Wade's house at this time, watching the game with Wade. Seeing Love being so arrogant in the first quarter, he couldn't stand it anymore!

Hassan said angrily: "What is Xie doing! Come out and respond to him quickly! It's really infuriating. Some people have always said that we won the championship last season because we didn't meet this guy. This is simply an idiot's statement! I am sitting in the basket. What chance does he have of competing with me for rebounds or scoring in front of me?"

Hassan and Wade were both members who won the championship with Xie Chen last year, so now they are on the same side as Xie Chen, and they have automatically joined the Knicks.

Wade acted very calmly: "Hassan, don't get excited. Although I don't want to admit it, if the Cavaliers had this guy last season, it would be really troublesome. Now Xie must be under a lot of pressure."

Xie Chen was really angry. He felt that everyone in the audience seemed to be saying that his championship last season was unfair and that the championship should not belong to him. It seemed that everyone was questioning him and laughing at him.

Love's craziness in the first quarter, Xie Chen wants to return it to him in the second quarter.

"Cheer up and don't relax your defense just because the score is ahead. They won't be willing to lag behind us all the time. That guy will take action soon." James kept telling the players, even if their lead kept expanding. He didn't dare to relax. The lessons of last season told him that anything could happen before the last minute of the series.

When Xie Chen came on the court in the second quarter, the audience was booed. The Cavaliers fans, who were leading the score, felt very happy. They liked to see Xie Chen losing.

At this time, Love has not yet played. But Xie Chen was already ready to catch up with the score.

Irving is on the court and is Xie Chen's main defender, because Xie Chen has not started his personal attack mode yet. If it comes to the end, someone else will definitely need to defend Xie Chen. After all, Irving has no height advantage in front of Xie Chen. It is a fatal weakness. Xie Chen's shooting is too strong. If Xie Chen cannot be interfered with enough, his scoring will be crazy.

It is precisely because of this weak height advantage that Xie Chen chose to play Irving alone to shoot a three-pointer.

However, Irving is very fast. It is not easy for Xie Chen to get rid of Irving. As a dribbling expert, Irving can easily understand Xie Chen's various dribbling movements. He can predict what Xie Chen will do next. take action and prepare in advance.

In addition, Dellavedova took advantage of Xie Chen's habits and practiced with Irving many times. Irving has almost understood and adapted to Xie Chen's three-point shooting rhythm.

Sure enough, Xie Chen didn't get rid of Irving completely, but with SS-level abilities, Xie Chen was very confident in any shot and made a decisive move immediately when he had the opportunity.

Irving reached out to block the shot just in time with the rhythm. He did not block the shot because Xie Chen shot too fast and Irving's arms were not long enough. However, this good defense gave Xie Chen a certain amount of interference. The ball ended up being bounced out of the frame. And out.

"Good defense!" James praised Irving.

"Irving seems to have a lot of experience with you and Xie's three-point defense." The Warriors' Green said to Curry when he saw this scene, and he was also worried about what they would do if they met the Cavaliers in the finals.

But Curry smiled softly without any worry. Kyrie Irving? Curry never thought this man could limit him.

Not long after, Kevin Love took the field again. Different from Xie Chen’s previous appearance, this player from the home team received the warmest applause from the audience. Due to his outstanding performance in the first quarter, he received Cheering even more than LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

"Keep teaching them a lesson, Kevin! Just like in the first quarter!" Fans have great expectations for Kevin Love.

Now everyone can see that Xie Chen wants to chase points, but the Cavaliers have obviously done enough homework for Xie Chen, and it will not be easy for Xie Chen to score.

Yang Yi said: "Look at this, Xie Chen is going to take over the game. I said before that whoever steps up to take over the game first will prove that he is at a disadvantage. Now it is obvious that the Cavaliers are stronger, and Xie Chen has to rely on his own ability. Save the team, save the score, this is the second quarter, the Knicks can't even last two quarters, I'm really worried about the Knicks."

Ke Fan also said: "That's true. If Xie Chen plays like this from the second quarter until the end, and has to do it every game, then the Iron Man will be exhausted."

While the two were talking, Xie Chen went inside and made a foul, scoring two points through free throws.

Immediately afterwards, Love tried a mid-range shot again, but his touch was no longer hot and he missed the shot.

This is a good opportunity for Xie Chen to chase points. How can it be possible if he is behind by more than ten points before halftime is over? He must catch up to within ten points so that he can play better in the second half.

This time, Xie Chen used the cover to get rid of Irving's defense. However, although Irving got rid of it, he was faced with another opponent.

Kevin Love!

As long as the screen is covered, the defense will be switched. No one is allowed to be in front of Xie Chen. Someone must be watching Xie Chen at every moment. This is the Cavaliers' defensive strategy against Xie Chen, and this time it is Love who is watching Xie Chen!

"Xie Chen is going to fight Love alone! The two finally have a chance to face off!" Yang Yi saw Xie Chen's posture and it was obvious that he wanted to fight Love alone!

The others quickly pulled away, leaving Xie Chen with the opportunity to challenge Love.

Everyone knows how much Xie Chen wants to challenge Love. Last season, because of Love's absence, Xie Chen was questioned even if he won the championship. How could the always proud Xie Chen endure this? This time, there was an opportunity for a head-on confrontation, and his teammates were smart enough to lure the others away. Xie Chen must eat Love alone to relieve his anger!

Love was a little nervous when facing Xie Chen. After all, the two of them had different positions. One was a power forward with a height of 2.08 meters, and the other was a point guard with extremely fast breakthrough speed. If defended alone, Love could not be guarded. Live in Xie Chen's.

In fact, what Love wanted to do was to interfere with Xie Chen's three-pointer, so he kept stretching his long arms towards Xie Chen.

At this moment, Xie Chen actually dribbled the ball backwards, took a step back, and then took a step back.

"Xie Chen, step back?" No one understood Xie Chen's intention.

James said to Love that Xie Chen's super long three-pointers were very powerful. He couldn't relax his defense on Xie Chen just because he was far away from the three-point line. So when Love saw Xie Chen step back, he also stepped forward. He stood up and followed him, keeping his hand stretched out to disturb Xie Chen.

"Following? Very good."

Xie Chen showed a satisfied expression. While Le Fu slowly followed up, Xie Chen suddenly accelerated and rushed forward!

Westbrook's breakthrough speed was vividly displayed at this moment. Love's reaction was exaggerated. Perhaps because he knew that he could not keep up with Xie Chen, he wanted to defend as much as possible. He also quickly retreated, wanting to ensure that he Don't lose your position. If Xie Chen rushes all the way in, he will let go. But outside the three-point line, Love must do his best to block Xie Chen.

Xie Chen accelerated straight away, and after one step, he stopped quickly!

Since he was still outside the three-point line, Love was very nervous. He still wanted to follow up and defend, but at this time, his huge physical disadvantage was revealed. It is very difficult for a big man to make an emergency stop in such a short period of time. Le Fu was tricked by Xie Chen. Le Fu lost his balance and squatted there on the spot.

"Le Fu was knocked down by Xie Chen!" Ke Fan shouted in surprise.

Seeing Love squatting on the ground, Xie Chen deliberately paused for a second before taking a three-pointer and hitting it steadily!

"Xie Chen is so handsome! The one who just said that Le Fu taught Xie Chen a lesson, come forward and I promise not to kill you!"

"Hahaha, I think Love's absence last season was a good thing. At least he didn't have to be so embarrassed by Xie Chen."

Fans of Xie Chen and the Knicks can finally vent their feelings on the Internet. For the entire previous section, major basketball forums were flooded with comments such as "Love made Xie Chen win the championship." This made fans of Xie Chen and the Heat The fans were very unhappy. In their view, Xie Chen’s performance last season was so incredible that one more player and one less player would not affect the result. Moreover, the Cavaliers were obviously slack after leading 3:0. It would not be possible if Love was here. Four to zero sweep.

The noisy atmosphere at Quicken Loans Arena can finally stop for a while. The audience felt very embarrassed when their hero was embarrassed this time, except of course Kate Upton.

LeBron James quickly stepped forward to help Kevin Love up, and then comforted him: "Kevin, don't take it to heart."

Kevin Love nodded, but no matter how high his emotional intelligence was, he could not prevent himself from feeling uncomfortable at all.

Is this what will happen to Xie Chen? Le Fu refused.

Soon, there was another opportunity for Xie Chen to eat Lok Fu alone, and the two met again.

After the last duel, there are more people watching the show at this time, and even the commentator can't wait to watch this performance.

"Let's see how Xie Chen plays this ball and whether he can beat Love again." Yang Yi said with a smile.

"I think it's okay for Xie Chen to beat Le Fu. It would be more appropriate to change the beating to playing..." Ke Fan also laughed.

Sure enough, this time, Xie Chen dribbled back like last time, and once again retreated far away from the three-point line.

"Is this guy Jeff Teague? Shoot whenever you want. Why are you traveling so far?" A Cavaliers fan couldn't help complaining.

They were all afraid that Xie Chen would play Le Fu again. It was enough for Le Fu to be knocked down once. If he was knocked down twice in a row, his morale would be really damaged.

Le Fu also learned wisely this time and did not dare to be so close to Xie Chen anymore. He still extended his hand but kept a distance from Xie Chen.

"Won't you follow?" Xie Chen saw that Love's defense was just a posture, which had no effect at all. Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer on the spot!

"What? He voted?!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked when they saw Xie Chen taking off a three-pointer from such a far distance. Love didn't even jump. He never thought that Xie Chen would really dare to shoot a three-pointer from such a distance.

This is the playoffs! Xie Chen, is this too risky? Once he misses the shot, he will definitely be criticized by the fans and media. Isn't he worried at all?

Xie Chen doesn't need to worry, and he doesn't think this is a risky move at all, because he has tested Curry's three-point shooting ability at this position, and his shooting rate is no less than that near the three-point line. Failure to make a shot can only be said to be bad luck. If he fails to make a shot this time, if the same opportunity appears next time, Xie Chen will still choose to shoot.

Perhaps Xie Chen's behavior will not be understood by everyone, but Xie Chen will use facts to prove that he is not a waste.

Swish.

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

"Oh my god..." Love was shocked when he saw the basketball fall into the basket. "It really went in. Is this guy really so confident?"

Xie Chen scored six points on LeFou twice in a row, narrowing the point difference to single digits!
