Super All-around Point Guard

"Finally won the first game!" As the end of the game slowly approached, LeBron James clenched his fists and felt relieved.

The Knicks eventually lost. Even though Xie Chen stepped forward to save the team again and again during regular time, in overtime, no one else from the team stepped forward, and Xie Chen also suffered from serious physical problems. Problem, coupled with the fact that the Cavaliers played so well from beginning to end, it can be said that the Knicks deserved to lose in this game.

This victory is of great significance to James, because he has been thinking about and waiting for a whole year to beat Xie Chen in the playoffs. No one knows how James spent the past year. How could he endure it? Watching Xie Chen steal his championship, watching Xie Chen step on his shoulders to become the number one player in the league, James has been holding back, just waiting for this year's playoffs to rectify his name!

"Before Xie Chen gets better help, I have to stop him in the past two years." James is fully aware of Xie Chen's threat to his league status and historical status. Now is the best opportunity for James. Because Xie Chen will definitely get better helpers in the future, or take the initiative to find a better team, while James's condition will be worse year by year. By then, James will have no way to stop Xie Chen.

Fortunately, the Warriors are now a team making history again. In the next few years, Xie Chen will not be allowed to dominate.

The game finally ended, and the Quicken Loans Arena was filled with jubilation. I am afraid that only Kate Upton was unhappy. Her friend even said to Kate: "The man you admire doesn't seem to have that much endurance, so he was the first one." You have no energy in overtime. That's not your type, after all, you like to play a lot of overtime in bed."

Kate Upton rolled her eyes at her friend: "Shut up, they are not willing to play overtime with me!"

Upton felt very strange because he had communicated with Kevin Durant about Xie Chen. Durant thought that Xie Chen was a guy with amazing physical strength. Why couldn't he do it tonight?

On the court, Xie Chen hugged James goodbye. James, who had said nothing before the game, finally smiled and spoke to Xie Chen: "If this was the first round of the playoffs, I'm afraid this result is something you didn't expect. Bar?"

James obviously still thinks that Xie Chen wants to deliberately let the Knicks face the Cavaliers during the regular season rankings. He thinks that Xie Chen wants to blackmail James and embarrass James. Xie Chen is not afraid of anything, but he just doesn't like to take the blame. Seeing James take the initiative to speak , explained in person: "I never thought about meeting you in the first round."

James smiled and replied: "I will ensure that our team is undefeated at home. See you in the next game."

Xie Chen could feel James' determination. He didn't just want to ensure an undefeated home game? He wants to win every win in the series! And they will do whatever it takes. In today's game, the Big Three all played very well, and James didn't even play at his full strength.

Fortunately, Xie Chen did not use all his energy. This game is regarded as a test of each other. Xie Chen's biggest task is to ensure that he is undefeated in the Legend Challenge. In the next game, the Knicks must equalize the score.

After this game, media experts and fans all talked about Xie Chen's physical problems, and how long can the Knicks support Xie Chen alone? Many people have begun to belittle the Knicks' prospects and believe that the Knicks' playoff journey is about to reach its terminal.

The Cavaliers are different from the two opponents the Knicks have encountered before. The Raptors do not have super stars, and the Heat do not have the overall strength of the Cavaliers. No matter how you look at it, the Knicks lose to the Cavaliers by a large margin. Everyone knows Xie Chen is the Knicks' only chance to beat the Cavaliers, but judging from today's situation, Xie Chen has been used too much. He is exhausted and exhausted. As long as the Cavaliers drag the game to the end, victory will definitely be Belongs to them.

After the game, the Knicks team watched the video and reflected on their mistakes. The Cavaliers were also not busy celebrating and were summarizing, but the overall atmosphere was already quite pleasant.

JR Smith said disdainfully: "Although we won the game in overtime, I think it was very easy to win. We just have to wait until we are exhausted and attack with all our strength. Compared with last year, he didn't have Hassan." We don’t have an inside pillar like Whiteside who protects rebounds, and we don’t have a veteran star like D-Wade who has been in the Finals all year round, not to mention the strength of the bench. I think we will only win the next game more easily, right, LeBron?”

LeBron James smiled and didn't reply, but Kevin Love, who performed well, answered: "It was so great to win the first game against them. At this time last year, I was wearing a suit on the bench and watching that guy play every game. The reversal of the score was really uncomfortable, and I can finally get it back today, but the series is still very long, so we have to stay focused.”

Tyronn Lue said: "Kevin is right. We just won one game. Anything can happen in the future. No one wants last year's tragedy to happen again. But the good news is that Xie is not like an iron man like last year. Same, his physical fitness, especially mental concentration, gets worse towards the end of the game. I think the Knicks have been relying on Xie alone to win games since the regular season, and this is even more true in the playoffs. They have already Injuring Xie, a second-grade kid, this is our opportunity. In the next few games, you must remember that no matter what situation occurs, no matter how many points behind, we must find a way to drag the score to the end. If it's delayed to overtime, as long as there is overtime, I think our chances of winning will be greater!"

Tyronn Lue's analysis made James nod frequently, but he still couldn't understand why Xie Chen changed from an iron man to this?

Xie Chen, who just entered the league last year, has amazing physical strength. He can still jump for four consecutive quarters to grab rebounds, block shots, and even dunk. His shooting percentage is not affected. How come this year, after becoming familiar with the NBA schedule, his physical fitness has declined? What's up?

James suspected that this was related to Xie Chen's injury.

"Perhaps, Xie has some injuries that we don't know about. Pat Riley once thought that Xie's body would have a big problem. Maybe this kind of thing actually happened." James thought to himself.

However, if Xie Chen really has this problem, why does Xie Chen have the courage to challenge the Cavaliers in the first round? Why is he so confident that he can defeat the Eight Cavaliers? !

"Could it be that Xie didn't lie? He really didn't want to trick us? However, he was obviously deliberately losing at the end of the regular season." James became more and more puzzled.

Thinking of this, James was suddenly stunned.

Seeing James suddenly move, Kyrie Irving couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong, LeBron?"

James said: "It suddenly occurred to me that Xie deliberately lost certain games at the end of the regular season. It was not necessarily against us. They might have wanted to choose the Toronto Raptors."

Irving didn't expect that James was still thinking about this matter at this time. In fact, he was disgusted with Xie Chen's plan to hack them. He felt that it was a huge provocation to every Cavaliers player. Irving said: "This can't be explained. They were There is clearly a chance to fight for the fifth position in the Eastern Conference. Although the Raptors were swept by them, it is undeniable that the Raptors are also a strong team."

"If it's not against the Raptors, then they want to avoid other teams?" James inadvertently told the truth!

However, even after he finished speaking, he felt it was too ridiculous. Would a confident player like Xie Chen be able to avoid a mid-level team? This is really unjustifiable.

Seeing that James had been thinking about Xie Chen, Tyronn Lu was afraid that he would go crazy studying Xie Chen, so he said: "Forget it, stop thinking about him, whether he deliberately wanted to confront us and embarrass us, or There is no such idea, we have all encountered it now, we must win this series, and we must win completely!”

…

The series between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was discussed enthusiastically for a day, and then the topic turned to the Western Conference. The game between the Warriors and the Spurs was also an epic Western Conference finals showdown. After all, the Warriors and the Spurs both played great games this season. record, they are also a great team, but in the past history, there have been too many classic matchups in the Western Conference finals, such as the 2002 Los Angeles Lakers against the Sacramento Kings, such as the 1993 Phoenix Suns against the Seattle SuperSonics, such as the 2000 Los Angeles Lakers and Boston The duel between the Trail Blazers, the 1996 SuperSonics and Jazz, and the 1988 Lakers and Mavericks are all classics. If the Warriors and Spurs want to become a classic matchup in the Western Conference Finals, it depends on whether they can play that kind of matchup. Passion and stories.

The Warriors and Spurs are the two best teams in the league this season. There is no doubt that the two best teams are in the West. If one is in the East, I believe no one doubts that the opponents in the finals will be them. , so this first makes this Western Conference finals more meaningful, because in most eyes, as long as you win the Western Conference championship, it is equivalent to winning the championship. Of course, it is also possible that the Western Conference finals will consume too much. The Eastern Conference champions took advantage in the finals.

The Warriors made history this season, breaking the Chicago Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses. This is an amazing achievement. Many people say that this achievement is more meaningful than the championship, because there are championships every year, but this Records are not broken every year.

Similarly, this record also gave Xie Chen a great stimulus. If he had to repeat this season again, he might choose not to break up with Oladi and try his best to win every victory as a team leader. , no one will not covet this record. Xie Chen feels that only by leading the team to achieve such results can he be considered a historical superstar.

The Spurs are also amazing, with the second-best record in the league and a winning streak at home, second only to the Warriors' home winning streak. The Warriors and Spurs have also played several games this season, and each has its own victory or defeat. The Warriors have only lost one game to the Spurs, and it was a narrow loss. In that game, Bogut, Iguodala, and Ezeli all lost. Several generals are gone, but the Spurs always lose by big scores, so many people are still more optimistic about the Warriors.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals started at the home court of the Warriors. At the same time, the Cavaliers and Knicks players in the East were also watching the game together.

Phil Jackson also came to Cleveland to watch the Western Conference Finals with the Knicks players. He said: "We have to learn from the Warriors' offense and the Spurs' defense. They will try their best in the first game and see how they do. You will do the same thing when we play the Cavaliers in the second game. Of course, if they play worse than we did yesterday, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The scene was filled with laughter, but everyone was still very humble. After all, they all knew that they were inferior to the knights, so it would be impossible if they didn't put in more effort to prepare something.

Porzingis asked Xie Chen: "Boss, who do you think can win?"

Xie Chen smiled: "How did I know it just started? But I know you are optimistic about the Warriors."

As a teammate of Porzingis, Xie Chen knows very well how much Porzingis admires and appreciates the Warriors, and is even a little afraid. Although the Knicks beat the Warriors in the regular season, Porzingis always believes that the Knicks are inferior to the Warriors. Going to the Warriors, on the contrary, I think there is hope of winning against the Spurs.

Of these two teams, one is the unparalleled spear and the other is the best shield in the world. The Warriors' offense is really powerful. Everyone who has played against them knows how terrifying the Warriors are. This is not only reflected in the Splash Brothers.

However, at halftime, the Warriors' three-pointers were terrible!

"The Warriors only hit three three-pointers in the first half? Stephen Curry didn't hit any!" Everyone felt a little surprised. Did the Spurs' defense really suffocate the Warriors like this?

Anthony watched the first half and asked Xie Chen: "Do you want to meet the Warriors or the Spurs in the finals?"

Xie Chen smiled helplessly. This question is really difficult to answer. The Warriors' offense is really terrible. The Knicks can't compete with the Warriors at all. The Spurs' defense is very difficult. Popovich is very good at stalling. Once the opponent's rhythm changes, the touch will become colder. Popovich has his own tricks to deal with any team.

In the second half, a surprising scene happened again. Stephen Curry's three-pointer was blocked!

"Danny Green defends so well?!" Even Xie Chen was not calm, because Green covering Curry was equivalent to covering himself!

Anthony also looked at Xie Chen in surprise: "I have never seen anyone be able to block you and Stephen Curry's three-pointers, because your shooting speed is too fast, and you will never shoot against people. This... is really horrible."

For the Cavaliers, James watched the game and said: "The Spurs' method to deal with Curry is the same as ours to deal with Xie, except that they restricted Curry, but we couldn't completely restrict Xie. This is not what we defended. Not good, but because compared to Stephen Curry, Xie is more versatile, but fortunately Xie does not have as many good helpers as Curry. It seems that Popovich has found a way to deal with the Warriors, but I wish The Warriors are facing us in the finals."

James imagined how much fun it would be to win the championship by defeating the team with the best record in history...
