Super All-around Point Guard

Love wants to prove himself through this battle, and Xie Chen also wants to use this battle to answer doubts. Therefore, the biggest highlight in the first game is not James vs. Xie Chen, but Love vs. Xie Chen.

Love dominated the first quarter, and Xie Chen returned the ball one after another in the second quarter.

Kevin Love's heart is broken at the moment. Although he played against Xie Chen in the regular season, the regular season games obviously cannot be compared with the playoffs. This is Love's real fight with Xie Chen. In a life and death battle, it was really uncomfortable to be targeted by Xie Chen. Just these two goals left Love helpless.

When Xie Chen retreated, did you follow or not? If you follow, Xie Chen can easily overtake you. If you don't follow, Xie Chen will just surrender.

"This guy doesn't look like someone who is only in his second year in the league. He is too confident." Kevin Love looked at Xie Chen with disbelief on his face. He recalled that in his second season, although that He didn't play in the playoffs at that time, but he played with trepidation in important games. He was not as mature and confident as Xie Chen played at all.

Xie Chen can lose to James or Kyrie Irving in this game, but he cannot lose to Love. He just wants to tell Love that even if you were here last year, the result will be the same!

Yang Yi also said excitedly: "After waiting for a whole year, Xie Chen finally has the opportunity to prove that his championship is not won by luck. People always say that the Cavaliers lack Love, so Xie Chen has a chance to win. Now Xie Chen uses Those two goals answered everyone."

Through these two three-pointers, the Knicks narrowed the point difference to single digits, and the Knicks players also regained their fighting spirit. With Xie Chen's personal score again and two assists, a few minutes later, The Knicks finally tied with the Cavaliers!

Ke Fan said excitedly: "It's a tie! It's so fast. I thought the Cavaliers could maintain this lead. With a score difference of just over ten points, Xie Chen caught up soon. I think the Knicks It's really strong, maybe the Knicks can really beat the Cavaliers."

Yang Yi also smiled and said: "The Knicks showed their strength and used this counterattack to tell the Cavaliers why they appeared in the Eastern Conference finals. Although the overall strength is not as good as the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers should still have the greatest hope for them. of attention.”

When coach Tyronn Lue saw that the situation was not good, he quickly called a timeout and asked the players to come back and calm down.

Everyone in the Cavaliers attaches great importance to this game, and Tyronn Lue is no exception. He is probably the person who attaches most importance to winning or losing besides LeBron James and Kevin Love. Because of the coaching change at the end of the regular season, the Cavaliers have suffered a lot. The question, of course, is the ability of the new coach Tyronn Lue.

The previous coach Blatt has never used Love, but Tyronn Lue is not much better than Blatt. As a rookie coach, Tyronn Lue can lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals in his first coaching, which seems to be a good result. , but in fact, with the current configuration of the Cavaliers, they can still make it to the Eastern Conference finals without giving them a coach.

Last season, the Cavaliers coached by Blatt stopped in the Eastern Conference finals and lost to the Heat led by Xie Chen. Tyronn Lue must win the Eastern Conference championship to prove that he is a better coach than Blatt.

Tyronn Lue is also under a lot of pressure.

"Don't relax your defense. You can't let Xie pass the ball out so comfortably. You have to put pressure on him all the time." Tyronn Lue said to the main players. In fact, he didn't have any good way to deal with Xie Chen. He could only do his best to listen to people and things. Destiny.

After the two climaxes caused by the battle between Love and Xie Chen, the game gradually returned to calm, and the score was also calm. Everyone knows that since both sides have reached the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, they are not weak teams. Don't even think about defeating your opponent with one blow. At the same time, everyone is waiting for the next person to cause the whirlpool.

James has too high an emotional intelligence and is too patient. He can wait and endure until he has to take action. You know, among the Big Three, the one who wants revenge on Xie Chen the most is not Irving or Love, but James. .

But no matter how much he wants to compete with Xie Chen and wreak havoc on the opponent's basket, James can still focus on the overall situation and use the most reasonable method to win.

James can continue to wait, but the other person can't wait any longer.

He is Kyrie Irving.

In the past two years, Kyrie Irving attracted a lot of attention with his gorgeous playing style. He also won the MVP in the All-Star Game and gained many fans. With James returning to the Cavaliers, Irving has become a global basketball star. Fans of players who have attracted much attention, plus Irving himself has the ability and plays so gorgeously, many people speak highly of Irving.

Even before, Irving was once known as the No. 1 point guard in the Eastern Conference.

But now, where does Irving rank in the entire league, let alone the Eastern Conference?

First of all, Xie Chen and Stephen Curry are definitely better than Irving. There is no doubt about this. In addition to their two MVP-level point guards, Chris Paul has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, but his ability to lead a team He is also very strong, so he must be ranked ahead of Irving as a point guard.

Westbrook, who has had various triple-doubles this season, has had six triple-doubles in one month. The Thunder's regular season record is also very good, and they are ranked ahead of Irving.

Lillard, this guy is also extremely explosive this season. When playing against the Warriors, he scored 51 points, 7 assists and 6 steals, and also defeated the Warriors. A few days later, in the game against the Raptors, Lillard Ladd once again put on a 50+ performance. At that time, people once said that Lillard was possessed by "Xie Chen".

Judging from his performance this season, Irving is obviously not as crazy as Lillard.

There is also John Wall. Many people are optimistic that Wall will be a far better player than Irving in the future. Wall is one of the best passers among the league's top point guards. He has unique changes in speed and rhythm on the court, and he His defense is tied with Xie Chen as the best among the top point guards.

Looking at it this way, Irving is not even ranked among the top five point guards in the league. He once wanted to be the best point guard in the league. How can he endure such a result!

"I have to prove myself. Maybe my personal strength is not as good as Xie's, but I have to do my best to defeat him and advance to the finals. I have better teammates. As long as I beat him and win the championship, someone will realize my value. Yes." Kyrie Irving said secretly.

In the pre-game warm-up, Irving made 8 of 11 three-pointers and felt very good. So at the beginning of the third quarter, Irving wanted to try his three-pointers.

Owen has always maintained his calmness, and there is no murderous look in his eyes, but he is someone who can kill his opponents silently.

Two consecutive three-pointers! Irving made the fans excited again!

Xie Chen was still resting off the court at this time. Unexpectedly, Irving chose to launch an attack at this time.

"I'm really confident." Xie Chen immediately stood up and got ready to play. The Cavaliers must not be allowed to gain momentum at any time, otherwise it would be troublesome to chase points.

"Irving's three-pointer today was really accurate. It was Love in the first half, Irving in the third quarter, and James will perform again in the fourth quarter, taking turns with Xie Chen. I wonder if Xie Chen can hold on?" Ke Fan commented.

Yang Yi said: "Love and Irving are not a threat to Xie Chen. Their crazy scoring can be recovered by Xie Chen. The most important thing is James. Xie Chen has already consumed a lot of energy by fighting against Love and Irving. Wait. When James performs again, it will be a great test for Xie Chen."

Against a team with the Big Three, you have to endure this, and you have to anticipate what will happen if the Big Three all perform well at the same time. James's current scoring is basically fast breaks, but it can be seen that he is in good shape. , today’s situation is probably that the three giants are all in good condition.

Xie Chen responded with a three-pointer to Irving as soon as he came on the court, temporarily suppressing the opponent's momentum. However, Irving will never be afraid of Xie Chen's arrival. In last year's tiebreaker with the Heat, Irving did not play. Prove that if they were here, they would be the winners!

Irving suddenly made a speed breakthrough and went directly to the basket from the left. Xie Chen was a little slower, but he quickly followed up and blocked Irving under the basket for the first time, denying him a chance to make a quick layup.

Irving gave up the difficult pull-up layup. After all, it was Xie Chen who was guarding him. He also had to worry about Xie Chen's defense. In the last series, Irving was taken a lot of chances by Xie Chen. Now he faces Xie Chen. more cautious.

Seeing Irving stopped under the basket, Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Irving held the ball and stepped back, with his back to the basket and his eyes looking forward, as if he was looking for his teammates. After all, he had just given up his best attack. Chance.

But just when everyone thought Irving was going to pass the ball or look for a breakthrough opportunity, Irving suddenly made a fadeaway jumper and shot directly on the spot!

"What? Shot?" Xie Chen was also startled, and quickly reached out to block the shot, but Irving shot too fast, and the ball slid directly to the basket, and it actually went in!

Irving also scored 8 points in a row!

"Oh, good shot!" Ke Fan also shouted.

Yang Yi was also surprised: "Irving's ball was really unexpected. He broke through quickly and reached the basket. When he saw Xie Chen coming over, he gave up the layup. They all watched him jump to shoot when he was about to go out or pass the ball. , and it’s a fadeaway jumper. It’s really surprising to play such a fadeaway jumper so close to the basket.”

Xie Chen really didn't expect that he would choose to shoot here, because giving up a layup before showed that Irving was playing very cautiously, but the next offensive choice was even more risky than the one just now!

Although this position is very close to the basket, Irving's shooting method is to lean back, and in order to avoid Xie Chen's block, it is a very high arc. This is no less difficult than a pull-up layup.

Xie Chen also had to praise Irving. Xie Chen couldn't figure out Irving's footsteps, and Xie Chen couldn't figure out Irving's offensive options. This is an opponent you can't predict.

Irving remained calm after scoring a goal. He has a very clear understanding of himself. Maybe my three-pointers are not as accurate as yours, maybe my dunks are not as good as yours, and maybe I am slightly inferior to you in various scoring methods, but experience, in the NBA court In terms of experience, Irving is definitely better than Xie Chen. Unless Xie Chen is a genius, it is better for Irving to play longer than Xie Chen because he has this advantage.

However, Irving didn't know that Xie Chen only played for two seasons on the surface, but in fact, because of the away challenge to the legendary team, Xie Chen had played for far more than two seasons. Irving had more experience than Xie Chen. It's not much more. You know, every opponent of Xie Chen is a legendary team. This is something Irving cannot compare with Xie Chen.

Irving is a good opponent, and Xie Chen likes this kind of challenge. Xie Chen said to Irving: "Except for Stephen Curry, you are the person I like to play against the most in the league."

Owen smiled: "Really? I feel honored."

The two people who were fighting fiercely did not show any signs of tension.

"The real big boss of the Cavaliers has not yet appeared. I can't lose against Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving." Xie Chen had to respond to Irving.

This time, Xie Chen played alone against Irving, and he also dribbled very beautifully. Irving knew that Xie Chen was also good at dribbling and did not dare to steal easily. He defended Xie Chen. What he was most afraid of was Xie Chen shooting a three-pointer, so he must not Get rid of by Xie Chen.

After Xie Chen failed to get rid of the ball with continuous dribbling, Williams suddenly stepped forward to cover Xie Chen. With the help of Williams' screen, Xie Chen quickly walked to the right. As soon as he got the opportunity, he immediately stopped the ball and made a shot. Actions.

Irving came quickly, but did not take off. Xie Chen did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Williams, quickly got the ball back, and continued to play singles with Irving.

This made everyone feel a little weird.

"Oh? Didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer? It seems that Xie Chen wanted to find a better opportunity. Irving's defense was pretty good." Ke Fan commented.

Facing Irving again, Xie Chen chose a more direct method, forcing a breakthrough. After the breakthrough, he saw Irving quickly following up, and immediately turned his back and leaned on Irving. The moment he leaned against Irving, Xie Chen made Irving retreat. This step shows that Xie Chen Xia Tian's weight gain plan is very successful.

After Xie Chen backed up, he quickly made a turn and jump shot in just one move, because if the speed was slow, Xie Chen would definitely be double-teamed.

Xie Chen moved very quickly, and Owen had no chance to think. However, this time, Owen still did not take off!

"I don't believe you don't jump!" Xie Chen still didn't choose to shoot this time. He passed it to his teammates again and quickly came back again.

"What is going on?" Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

Xie Chen singled out Irving for the third time. This time he came closer to the basket. As soon as Xie Chen raised his arm, Irving jumped up. There was nothing he could do. It was too easy for Xie Chen to score from such a close position.

Xie Chen took advantage of James' layup ability and easily completed a 2+1.

It took Xie Chen three chances to score this goal. Irving felt very unhappy: "You just want to cause me to foul?"

Owen questioned Xie Chen.

Xie Chen replied: "Yes, because I know I can easily score 2+1 against you."
