Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 553 The second game of the Eastern Conference Finals!

While the Golden State Warriors have the best record in regular season history, they have also become the target of all teams. The Spurs, Cavaliers, and Knicks all want to defeat this history-making team, because the Warriors do not seem invincible. , so they all have this confidence, and this is definitely a meaningful thing, because everyone thinks that this regular season record will be maintained for many years. Many years later, some people will definitely ask who defeated the Warriors who made history. Team, everyone wants to be that hero.

The Spurs acted as the hero tonight. At the Warriors' home court, they actually defended the Warriors and scored only 82 points. Stephen Curry was also completely restricted. Of course, there is no denying that Curry was not in form tonight. The Spurs have a great coach. Popovich is the greatest and most legendary coach among active league coaches, and he is also the coach with the highest level. His research on the Warriors, his control of the scene, and his tactical arrangements are all at a very high level. level, and he is also very good at psychological warfare. This Warriors series is destined to not be as simple as before.

The first player in the league and the second player in the league lost one after another, which was something no one expected.

Anthony said: "It seems that whether it is our side or the Western Conference, this series is destined to be difficult to play, and it will be very taxing on each other. Everyone must pay attention to maintaining their physical strength in order to fight until the last moment."

From now on, the Knicks players must be mentally and physically prepared for this protracted battle.

Soon, it was time for the second game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks.

This second matchup is very important for the Knicks. Their goal is to win at least one away game. If they return to New York with a score of 0:2, they will definitely lack confidence. After all, The Cavaliers are absolutely capable of winning a game at their home court, and the Knicks will become very passive by then.

The same is true for Xie Chen. Playing away means playing two games, which consumes a lot of his physical strength, and the outcome is highly uncertain. Even if he returns to the home game, he is guaranteed to win. , after all, they have to play on the road again, and the Cavaliers have the home court advantage. If the Knicks want to win this series, Xie Chen has to win a game on the road.

While it is still only the second game and the decisive moment has not yet come, this is the best chance to win an away game.

Quicken Loans Arena is still full of people and the atmosphere is still warm, but this kind of formation no longer scares the Knicks players, they are used to it.

This time when entering the court, Xie Chen did not do the "three-point warm-up in the tunnel." He is not Curry, and he does not have the habit of warming up like this in every game. In addition, the fans did not particularly boo him today. Although the Knicks lost, Xie Chen won everyone's respect. Although Xie Chen took away the number one player in the league, which made Cavaliers and James fans very unhappy, but based on yesterday's performance, he deserves such a title. , who can fight the Cavaliers on his own until the last moment, this is a real hero.

Although the fans let Xie Chen off a bit, the Cavaliers' mascot Moon Dog was not so kind. Now that the Cavaliers are leading the series, the mascot has become arrogant.

After he came to the court, he actually took the ball and walked to the entrance of the players' tunnel, where Xie Chen had previously shot a long three-pointer. Then he imitated Xie Chen's shooting action and shot a long three-pointer!

"Hahaha……"

The laughter at the scene was rising in waves. Everyone was amused by Moon Dog. This guy's shooting movements were very funny, and not once did the ball touch the basket.

This was obviously a provocation to Xie Chen. Robin Lopez, the mascot killer, couldn't sit still: "Xie, I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

Xie Chen acted very calmly: "Forget it, Robin, save some energy, we may have to play overtime tonight."

Xie Chen did not respond to the provocation of the mascot before the game, which was a bit surprising. In the past, he would have stepped forward and beat him up. However, after the game started, Xie Chen hit him with two consecutive three-pointers. Responded to the previous provocation!

"The opening was two three-pointers! Does Xie still decide to fight against the Cavaliers by himself tonight?"

Cavaliers fans were a little scared. Logically speaking, the last game should have proved that Xie Chen alone could not defeat the entire Cavaliers team. In this game, Xie Chen should be more likely to ask his teammates to help him. , However, Xie Chen actually shot two goals in a row as soon as he came up. He didn't rely on assists from his teammates, but relied entirely on his personal ability. Kyrie Irving had just started the game, and he didn't expect Xie Chen to launch an attack so early. Xie Chen was caught off guard.

After these two three-pointers, I believe no one will remember Moon Dog's provocation.

The Spurs and Warriors are also paying attention to this game. After the Spurs won the first game, they were in a very good mood and talked loudly while watching the game, but they were not disdainful of the Cavaliers and Knicks.

After seeing Xie Chen hit two three-pointers in a row, Popovich asked the Spurs players: "If we were playing the Knicks in the finals, and Xie Chen also threw two three-pointers in a row like this at the beginning, what would you do? ?”

Danny Green said calmly: "Look for an opportunity to pay him back."

Aldridge also replied: "I believe we will not be scared by his two three-pointers. After all, the game has just begun."

"What if he hits three three-pointers in a row right from the start?" Popovich continued to ask.

At this time, Tony Parker smiled and replied: "Coach, you are exaggerating. On a stage like the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, with this level of defensive intensity, how could someone make three consecutive shots in the opening game..."

Before Tony Parker finished speaking, they saw on the big screen in front of them, Xie Chen, at the 45-degree three-point line, against JR Smith's defense, forced a pull-up and shot another three-pointer!

Bang!

Xie Chen scored three consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!

"This..." Tony Parker was stunned. He no longer knew what to say. Xie Chen was too powerful and crazy. He had never seen such a confident person.

The scene at Quicken Loans Arena was also filled with shock.

After the game started, the Knicks scored 9 points in a row, while the Cavaliers only scored 2 points. The cautious rookie coach Tyronn Lue could not let Xie Chen's hot momentum continue. He wanted to call a timeout. Let the opponent calm down, but just as Tyronn Lue was about to make a move, James suddenly waved his hand at Tyronn Lue on the court, signaling Tyronn Lue not to call a timeout.

"What? LeBron doesn't want a timeout at this time?" Tyronn Lue gave up as soon as he saw James' actions.

This rookie coach has just taken office, but he has not yet gained enough rights. In other words, no matter how powerful he is, he still has to obey James' words.

"The Cavaliers didn't call a timeout? LeBron stopped him?" The Spurs players couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene. In the Spurs team, even the great historical power forward Tim Duncan What to do if you dare to stop the coach.

When Popovich saw this scene, he smiled: "What should I do? I really want to meet these two teams and play against them. Xie is a guy with his own style of play and amazing, and Le Brown, he is now the leader of the team and the coach of the team. It will be very interesting to play against any of their teams. You have to work hard to defeat the Golden State Warriors so that I can have this opportunity to challenge them."

Popovich is not afraid of strong opponents or strange opponents. He especially wants to play against the top stars in history like Xie Chen and James.

Tony Parker asked at this time: "Coach, you haven't told us the answer just yet. What if we are playing against the Knicks now and Xie hits three three-pointers in a row? Should we double-team him from the beginning? ?Will he score a fourth?"

Popovich shook his head and smiled: "Actually, I don't know what to do. Let's see what LeBron James does."

At the scene, James specifically reached out to stop Tyronn Lue's request for a timeout. It seemed that he did not want the current situation to be interrupted. He was confident of dealing with Xie Chen's fiery touch.

James was dribbling, and the scene was very quiet. They didn't want their voices to disturb James. James is now not only the leader of the team, but also takes on the responsibility of coach. No one doubts his high IQ, but people still have questions. worried.

Derrick Williams was guarding James alone. Williams was a little nervous. He didn't know what James wanted to do, but he just felt that James was very serious now.

Williams felt that James would beat him in isolation, and his feeling was right. James saw that Williams was obviously guarding against breakthroughs but not shooting. Without saying anything, without any hesitation, James pulled up and shot a three-pointer!

"A three-pointer?"

Everyone was shocked. Is this how LeBron James responded to Xie Chen? To shoot a three-pointer? Is James so confident in his three-point shot? However, from the data point of view, James is not a three-pointer.

Uh-huh!

The basketball hits the net!

"James responded with a three-pointer!"

This response made many Zhanhei look at James with admiration, because in the eyes of many Zhanhei, James is a person who does not dare to take action. James will worry about the hit rate and will seek teammates to maximize the success rate. Hua, like this, responded to Xie Chen's three-pointer with a three-pointer. It is really rare to see James do this.

"Is he so confident tonight?" Xie Chen was also quite surprised by this goal. This is not James' playing style.

And what James was thinking in his mind was: "Are you going to use all your strength tonight? Very good, I will use all my energy too!"

James did not use all his strength in the last game. This time, as long as Xie Chen wants to win, James will stop Xie Chen at all costs!

Xie Chen didn't have a chance to shoot a three-pointer for the fourth time. He was too close. After hitting three three-pointers in a row, Xie Chen didn't want to shoot another three-pointer, so he passed Ray Allen and let the opponent score a two-pointer. .

As for James, he quickly got to the basket and scored two points in response!

After the opening, all the scores of the two teams were related to James and Xie Chen. This was just like the final between James and Xie Chen!

"It's a bit interesting. LeBron didn't stand up to fight with Xie in the last game, but he accepted Xie's invitation from the beginning of this game. This game may become a game where superstars dominate the outcome. We have a good game. It’s time to watch the show.” Coach Cole of the Warriors did not seem to be affected by the defeat and was still in a very happy mood.

In the last game, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving stole the show. In this game, James clearly planned to fight against Xie Chen by himself. He seemed to not want Xie Chen to be the amazing lone hero anymore. He wanted to tell the world that whatever Xie Chen could do, he, James, could do the same.

"Tonight, if you score 50 points, I will score 50 points. If you dare to score 60 points, I will score 60 points too!" James is completely at odds with Xie Chen tonight. In terms of personal abilities, James is confident that in addition to long-range shooting It was almost impossible to lose to Xie Chen. James not only wants to win, but also wants to suppress Xie Chen alone!

This puts the Knicks into a difficult situation. If James plays to the extent of Xie Chen and the two effects cancel each other out, then whether they win or not depends on other players, and guys like Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving Their combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than those of the Knicks. The probability of the Cavaliers winning is too high. Unless Xie Chen beats James, the Knicks will have hope of winning.

However, the Cavaliers knew in the last game that the Knicks basically relied on Xie Chen to score, so they attached great importance to Xie Chen's defense in this game, especially when switching offenses.

The Knicks were on a fast break, and Xie Chen broke through with the ball. The Cavaliers retreated very quickly. Just after halftime, just past the three-point line, four Cavaliers players were all following Xie Chen!

Xie Chen was double-teamed by four defensive players!

This scene is shocking enough.

If everyone is in position, of course the Cavaliers would not dare to let go of others so rashly to surround Xie Chen, but when Xie Chen launches a fast break alone, the Cavaliers will use all their defense against Xie Chen Full strength, because there is no one to defend the basket, as long as Xie Chen breaks through to the basket, even if there are one or even two people following him, Xie Chen can easily score with his excellent jumping and incredible physical ability.

Xie Chen's fast break scoring success rate is the highest in the league. No one can guard him. Whether it is a difficult layup or various incredible dunks, as long as no one under the basket stands in advance to stop him, then His talent makes scoring a breeze.

Xie Chen was not alone in playing the ball. Seeing the situation, he quickly passed the ball out. Derrick Williams happened to rush over from half court. Xie Chen jumped up and passed the ball out. Williams caught the ball and went all the way. Come on, two defensive players have already turned to guard Williams, but how can guarding Williams be an easy task?

Williams is just like James, making a tough layup and scoring the ball when the opponent is fouled!

"The Cavaliers underestimate other people's abilities," Popovich said.
