Super All-around Point Guard

Every NBA player enters the league in the same way, has the same attitude, and even has the same mood, but leaves the NBA in different ways.

Some walked off the field with countless applause, carrying honor and enjoying the cheers of thousands of people, like Jordan and Kobe; some were just substituted in obscurity and never had a chance to appear on the field again. Some players even did not appear at the time. Knowing that he ended up saying goodbye to the NBA forever.

There are also players who were carried off the court due to injuries and never had the chance to play again, such as Mutombo and Ci Shiping in front of him.

Ci Shiping, who became famous in high school, proudly landed in the NBA. He has done many impressive events in the league over the years, including injuring Jordan, fighting at the Palace of Auburn Hills, elbowing Harden, and angry Kobe Bryant. Who would have thought that such a tough guy would leave the field in such a desolate way?

Ci Shiping struggled and fell to the ground, holding his hands on his back, with a very painful look on his face. Time is not forgiving. No matter how strong he is, he is still almost forty years old. His body can no longer withstand such serious injuries. His ability can no longer adapt to the current league. Everyone knows that this injury may be the last game of his career.

The Lakers dugout was also very nervous. Everyone walked over. Although everyone sometimes didn't like Ci Shiping, they were worried when they saw him like this.

Ci Shiping endured the pain and was carried on a stretcher. Looking at Xie Chen and his teammates who were worried about him, he forced a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to Xie Chen. He's not even young yet, he's really a strong guy.

Ci Shiping was lying on the stretcher and looked at Xie Chen and said: "I may never be able to play on this court again in my life."

Although both Xie Chen and Ci Shiping knew that Ci Shiping was out for the season, Xie Chen comforted him: "You will be fine, we need you in the seventh game."

Ci Shiping smiled and said: "We must drag the game to the seventh game and beat them hard for me! Xie, remember, you are a player who will never be defeated, and no one can beat you! You Can’t lose!”

Having said this, Ci Shiping's hand became even stronger. Xie Chen watched Ci Shiping getting farther and farther away from him, and deeply felt his expectations for him. Xie Chen had never been eliminated in the playoffs. Ci Shiping In order to prevent Xie Chen from losing, Shiping was not afraid even if his career would end from now on. Xie Chen did not blame Green for his little move, but a raging fire ignited in his heart. He did not want Ci Shiping's sacrifice to be in vain, he wanted to win!

"I can't lose. No one can eliminate me in the playoffs!" Xie Chen clenched his fists. He had not played in the Legend Challenge match today, but his current strength made him feel that he was not afraid even if he played two Legend matches in a row!

When Coach Cole saw this scene, he secretly shouted in his heart: "No, Ci Shiping's departure gave Xie great strength and excitement. Originally, at the beginning of the series, our players were more eager to win the championship than Thanks, but now, I’m afraid it’s the same or even a little bit more.”

Players' desire to win is an important factor in winning in the playoffs. Generally speaking, superstars who have not won a championship have a stronger desire than superstars who have won the championship. Originally, Curry, Durant and others were bound to defeat Xie Chen. To win the championship, they started with a 3:1 start in order to avenge their previous humiliation, but now Xie Chen also has an equally strong desire.

Ci Shiping not only made Xie Chen full of energy, but also inspired every Lakers player. With this energy, Xie Chen quickly scored 30 points, quickly defeated his opponent in the Legend Challenge, and did not feel mentally strong after returning. Despite any loss, he is still full of energy. Everyone on the Lakers wants to win this victory for Ci Shiping!

The Lakers still led the score in the second half, which made the Warriors a little anxious.

James Harden off the court also said excitedly: "The situation is likely to change, and the Lakers have hope of a comeback!"

Anthony also nodded and said: "Ron's departure has given the Lakers players a lot of motivation. If the Warriors don't have a magical performance in this game, it will be difficult to win. Once it reaches the tiebreaker and returns to the Lakers' home court, then The Warriors’ chances of winning are also slim.”

Why don’t the Warriors players know this? Each of them is also anxious.

The Warriors players' defense against Xie Chen has reached a very harsh level. They strictly guard against Xie Chen's ball control and scoring. Once Xie Chen really has a chance to score, they will use the entire team to stop it and will not show mercy when committing fouls.

Snap, snap, snap.

When Xie Chen made a gliding layup, his arm was slapped three times by Warriors defenders. But even so, Xie Chen still succeeded in the layup, which made his opponents and the audience feel incredible.

"What a monster. Green and the others hit Xie's arm at least three times, but he was still able to complete a pull-up layup."

"His relationship with that guy Ci Shiping is so good? Did Ci Shiping's departure actually give him such a big motivation?"

Xie Chen and Ci Shiping have played together for two consecutive seasons, and their relationship is naturally not bad, but it cannot be compared to the brotherhood with Hassan Whiteside and Wade. However, what Ci Shiping just said touched me. When it came to Xie Chen, he said that Xie Chen was someone who could not be defeated. In order to preserve Xie Chen's myth of being eliminated in the playoffs with zero eliminations, Ci Shiping was willing to get injured. How could Xie Chen not give his best?

After that, the Warriors didn't even give Xie Chen a chance to start fast. Xie Chen was not in a hurry and passed it to Mozgov. Mozgov is a trustworthy teammate. His success rate against the Warriors' interior is very high, even if it is now controlled by McGee came to guard him, and Mozgov did not hesitate. He immediately used his dream steps under the basket and made a hook, but the hook missed. However, McGee tried his best to block the block, and Mozgov grabbed the rebound again. arrive.

After Mozgov got the rebound under the basket, he did not continue to play. For some reason, he found Xie Chen rushing over and passed it to Xie Chen very covertly. Xie Chen faced the defense without the ball. He was a lot looser. After catching the ball, he flew into the sky, went straight to McGee, and dunked McGee to the ground in the air!

"This is the second time McGee has been dunked down by Xie in a row!" James Harden said calmly.

After McGee was dunked to the ground by Xie Chen, he immediately got up on his own. Without saying anything and with no emotion on his face, he immediately picked up the ball and served it to Curry.

Similarly, after Xie Chen dunked McGee, he did not do any arrogant celebration or pretense. He immediately returned to defense with his teammates as if he had just scored an ordinary goal.

Both sides have forgotten the humiliation and glory, there is only one thing in their minds, win and score!

Seeing this scene, Harden and Anthony couldn't help but be shocked. Harden said: "I have never seen such a game. After being knocked down, he didn't feel embarrassed at all and quickly got up to pass the ball. And the man who dedicated so much The guy who exaggeratedly dunked didn't even scream..."

Anthony said with a serious face: "They only care about one thing at the moment, and that is winning. Everything else is unimportant. This game has now reached an unprecedented level."

Anthony observed everyone from the sidelines, from players to coaches. Everyone was focused on every attack and defense at the moment. Are they tired? After playing a whole game and fighting hard for a whole game, of course they were tired. Xie Chen and Mozgov had to throw themselves to the ground several times to save the ball. Players on both teams were injured, but at this moment, there was no People may feel tired or hurt.

"If you don't chase us back, we will be dragged into the seventh game by them." Curry became more and more anxious, and Kevin Durant also panicked. Although the Warriors have many superstars, at this time, no one can stand up to save the situation. .

Xie Chen is also counting the time. The Lakers are now in the lead. Every minute that passes, the more favorable it is for the Lakers.

"Now the Warriors are still 12 points behind. Stephen Curry and KD must be very anxious. They can take the lead in this game thanks to a few fast break scores launched by saves. If they can realize this and follow us, If so, haha, that couldn’t be better.”

The Warriors are now anxious to chase points and must have more offensive opportunities. How can they have more offensive opportunities? If they think about how the Lakers got these opportunities, they will also think about saving the ball. This will go according to Xie Chen's wishes, because Xie Chen knows that without special training and not communicating with everyone in advance with his teammates, he wants to It is difficult to succeed if you rely on on-the-spot tacit understanding. Instead, it will give your opponent an opportunity.

Things turned out as Xie Chen expected.

Dreaming Green encountered a Laker who touched the ball out of bounds. According to the previous play style, he would not reach for the ball as he was closest to the basketball. He would watch the ball go out of bounds and then serve.

But this time, he suddenly had different ideas.

"The Lakers have had so many easy scoring opportunities by saving the ball. Now their defense makes it very difficult for us to score. If they can save the ball and play fast breaks, so can we!" Green thought, and immediately took off. Pounced.

Green is also a man who does what he says.

After jumping up, he threw the ball hard to the position closest to Curry. The ball was passed with great force. Green had not trained for a long time, so it was not easy to pass the ball exactly as he intended.

The tacit understanding between Curry and Green is very good. As soon as Green dives for the ball, he knows what Green is going to do. He also immediately starts a fast break. Originally, this was a very good way for the Warriors to use one another's methods to counterattack. counterattack, but they underestimated Xie Chen's judgment.

Xie Chen immediately guessed where Green would pass the ball, and the ball was passed very high. Xie Chen had enough time to run over and phase Green's pass.

Curry and Xie Chen are in very close positions. Under such circumstances, the two of them jumped up to grab the ball. Everyone knew what the result would be.

Xie Chen easily squeezed out Curry and successfully stole the ball!

Green fell to the crowd with a thud, not injured at all.

Curry was behind Xie Chen and Green was no longer on the court. Xie Chen went directly to the basket for a one-on-three. In addition, Kevin Durant was still wary of the Lakers' open players. Xie Chen easily completed a slam. buckle.

"It's over, it's over. If you still give points to the Lakers at this time, the Warriors really can't get them back this time."

Many Warriors spectators looked disappointed. Seeing that the end of the game was getting closer and closer, many fans had already stood up and left the field, not wanting to see the team lose in the end.

In the last three minutes, the Warriors' Curry, Durant, and Thompson took turns throwing three-pointers. It could be said that they were betting on three-pointers. They were all difficult shots, and no one had a magical performance.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors by 17 points, which can be regarded as a big victory!

"The Lakers and Warriors tied 3-3!" LeBron James saw this scene and shook his head in disbelief. How powerful the Warriors are! They already had match point in the fourth game, but were tied by the Lakers again!

James thought about the scene from 0:3 to being tied by Xie Chen. Could it be that the Warriors would be tied and then reversed like the Cavaliers back then?

The fans at the Warriors were all very depressed. It has been three years, are they going to fall at the hands of Xie Chen again?

"No, this is not true, how could we be tied by them." A die-hard Warriors fan couldn't help crying. Even if it is just tied now, they haven't lost yet, and there are already fans who can't accept it.

"Xie is our Warriors' eternal nightmare. If the Golden State Warriors want to win the championship, they must either wait for him to disappear from this league, or get him. There is no other way!"

Many fans who were prepared to "not welcome Xie Chen to the Warriors" did not dare to say so again. Without Xie Chen, could they win the championship? The four giants in the group were all tied!

Coach Cole's expression after losing the game was very strange. He was not sad or angry. Instead, he laughed, clapped his hands and walked past Xie Chen with a smile. He also said to Xie Chen: "Very good! Wonderful!"

Xie Chen didn't know whether Coach Cole was referring to this game or something else. Xie Chen suddenly thought that even if Coach Cole is so young and capable, he has led the Warriors to become the best team in the league in the past three years and has achieved so much every year. A good record, but if there is no championship for three consecutive years, will Kerr also be fired?

Thinking of this, Xie Chen felt even more bitter in Cole's smile just now.

Regardless, he won and qualified for a tiebreaker with his opponent!

After the game, in an interview with reporters, Xie Chen announced Ci Shiping's injury on behalf of the team: "We regret that we will no longer be able to fight with him in the next playoffs. In addition, Ci Shiping I have something to announce to you on my behalf, he has decided to retire."

Ci Shiping's retirement is certainly sad, but reporters are paying more attention to Xie Chen and Curry. The next game is crucial, because the outcome of the next game is related to the decision of Xie Chen and Curry to retire.

Xie Chen once said that he would retire if he won the championship, and Curry also said that he would choose to retire if he was reversed.

The reporter said: "The next tiebreaker will be the most important tiebreaker in the history of the NBA. Many people compare this game to a championship game and think whoever wins can become the winner of this season. For the championship, we have never seen a team with a luxurious star lineup like the Warriors, and we have never seen a team that won 75 games in the regular season. In everyone's mind, this team should be unbeatable. , a team that shouldn’t be eliminated, but in the next game, a team is destined to be eliminated.”
