Super All-around Point Guard

Xie Chen is also very pleased that Nick Young has such fighting spirit. As expected of Nick Young, who is not afraid of any opponent no matter how strong he is. He shows no mercy when facing the Warriors' Big Four. In the finals, he even dared to respond to James. You have the guts. Well done. of!

Xie Chen looked at Nick Young expectantly and said: "No problem, you can definitely do it, brother, I will pass the ball to you."

This is the stage of the finals. The ratings of this year's finals are expected to set a new record. Who doesn't want to express themselves in a global arena? Not to mention a player like Nick Young who never misses an opportunity to perform on a small stage.

Since Korver is guarding Xie Chen, Nick Young is facing Irving. If the Cavaliers want to limit Xie Chen's three-pointers, Irving cannot defend him. Irving is a little shorter than Xie Chen. If Xie Chen makes a three-pointer, Irving is too difficult to guard.

Nick Young had an even greater height advantage against Irving. When everyone thought that Xie Chen was going to stand up and respond to James, Nick Young stepped out to catch the ball and then quickly shot a three-pointer. Irving did not expect that Nick Young would Such a straightforward shot, without much interference, the ball was hit by Nick Young.

One shot didn't matter, but Nick Young used the same routine again and once again scored a three-pointer in front of Irving!

Yang Jian was surprised and said: "Nick Young is in such good shape. He is so confident. It doesn't look like he has never played in the finals."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "He is a bit like JR. He has no stage fright, dares to shoot, and dare to do it. Just don't shoot randomly all the time. However, these two goals were assisted by Xie Chen. It seems that Xie Chen also wanted Nick Young to open up first." Xie Chen can take over the game at any time, but others have to slowly get into the state."

How could James take Nick Young's response seriously? Continuing their strong attack, the Lakers double-teamed James just like the Cavaliers did to Xie Chen. James was already ready to pass the ball every time he attacked. In terms of breakthroughs and distribution, although James is a small forward, No worse than Xie Chen, his talent for finding suitable teammates seems to be innate, and his height ensures that he has a good vision, and his body's strong resistance ensures that no matter who he fights against, he will not lose his balance. Therefore, his breakthrough balls can always be delivered to his teammates in the most accurate and comfortable way.

On the stage of the Finals, James performed a no-look pass. When he came to the basket, he quickly passed the ball to Irving in the bottom corner. Nick Young was originally staring at James, and then turned to Irving. He could have just shot it, but no matter how fast Nick Young ran, he couldn't interfere.

However, Irving, who entered the Finals for the first time, did not panic at all. He stared at the basket and seemed to be about to shoot. However, he made a fake move and knocked Nick Young out of bounds. Then he dribbled the ball on the spot and looked for it again. Feel it before throwing the ball.

Uh-huh!

This was also Irving's first score in the finals.

"Beautiful, Irving has grown a lot in the Eastern Conference playoffs in the past two years. Although it is his first time to play in the finals, he does not have the greenness and nervousness of playing in the finals for the first time. He is very mature." Yang Jian praised.

"Yes, I'm not panicking at all, and Irving has grown a beard. He looks like a veteran who has been playing for more than ten years. Although the Cavaliers have been losing in the past few years, the responsibility for losing has been shouldered by James. Well, Irving is relatively less criticized. This is better for young players like him, and it is an opportunity to inspire and grow. Let us see what kind of performance he can have in the finals. Can't point to the Cavaliers. It depends on him at the critical moment." Zhang Weiping is also very optimistic about Irving.

Kyrie Irving was Xie Chen's strongest opponent at the same position in the Eastern Conference two years ago. However, Xie Chen played against Irving in his first season. Although he did not have that much ability, it was enough to beat him. Although he was very talented at that time , but his role in the game is not big, and he has not even learned how to get along with James. After these two years, Irving has indeed matured a lot, not only with fancy dribbling, weird layups, but also many outstanding performances. , this season, his points per game are almost the same as James, of course, James has more assists.

"This guy still hasn't shaved off his beard." What Xie Chen cares about is Irving's image. Is he trying to imitate James Harden?

Owen also glanced at Xie Chen, and was also competing with Xie Chen in his heart, "You have left me so far behind in two years. You are so cruel! I can't lose to you again this year."

In the past two seasons, if Xie Chen hadn't been in the way in the Eastern Conference, Irving would have entered the finals with James. He even dreamed of joining the Cavaliers and Warriors in the finals. In the dream, he became the key player, playing in the championship. Facing Stephen Curry and making a fatal shot in the seventh game, the scene was really unforgettable, but when he woke up, he had to face the fact that he had never made it to the finals.

Driven by James, Irving also slowly entered the state. Irving held the ball on the right side of the basket and beat Nick Young in singles. Irving always showed his league-leading dribbling skills in singles mode. His dribbling is both fancy and fancy. It's practical, and it's particularly difficult to steal the ball, and it's even difficult to interfere with him. You can only wait for him to trick you, but you still have to be fooled, because he is too fast. If you hesitate for a moment, he will really break through. It's over.

Irving could see that Nick Young still believed that he could shoot, so he was more concerned about preventing shots. So he accelerated to break through Nick Young, but stopped instantly. After pulling back, he accelerated forward again, and Nick Young was shaken. He was so embarrassed that he once again pounced on Irving, who was already preparing for a layup, but was unable to block the shot, allowing Irving to succeed in the layup.

After Irving used such a fancy dribble, there was a burst of exclamation on the scene. Irving is still very strong one-on-one. I wonder if Xie Chen could have defended him just now.

Yang Jiandao: "Irving's dribbling is really top-notch in the league, on par with Curry and Xie Chen. Irving's dribbling is so good because of the guidance of an expert. That person is called Lancaster, a white trainer. Irving When I was at Duke University, I started to seek advice from Lancaster. In addition to Irving, Wade, Evan Turner, and I even heard that Xie Chen also took classes in his training hall.”

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, every player who is extremely talented in dribbling can improve his skills to a higher level under his training. Irving can use both hands and change speed instantly. This is all taught by this white trainer." , as for Lancaster, there is a famous saying, "Let the training intensity exceed the competition intensity, infinitely amplify the pressure and chaos that may be encountered in actual combat during training, and then bring this energy back to actual combat." "

"No wonder they are so comfortable in the competition and even on the stage of the finals." Yang Jian said with emotion. Behind every show of coolness and pretense, there are countless times of hard work.

After listening to the words of the two commentators, many netizens said: Since it is so hard to pretend to be cool, then I am willing to be a low-key person.

Irving stimulated Xie Chen very well. The two goals that James scored strongly just now made Xie Chen feel like he was coming to fight. Irving played with Xie Chen's teammates like this, which made Xie Chen fully enter the fighting state.

Xie Chen walked up to Nick Yang who was being tricked, patted Nick Yang's body and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me..."

Xie Chen originally wanted to stand up for Nick Young and responded to Irving in the same way. Unexpectedly, Nick Young's confidence was not shattered after being tricked. He said to Xie Chen again: "Boss, don't rush to take action, leave Irving to deal with him! "

Xie Chen was slightly shocked. When James was showing off his power, Nick Young said something like this. Facing Irving, Nick Young was not afraid at all.

"It seems like this guy was tricked by Irving and is a little unconvinced." Xie Chen thought like this, nodded again, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll help you!"

Nick Young can't play with his opponents face to face like Irving. He doesn't have this ability and talent, and he's not as fast as Irving. Xie Chen hangs him to the basket, allowing Nick Young to sneak in from the baseline and beat Irving in a single under the basket. When he got to the basket where he was purely competing for height, he suffered a loss. He stretched out his hand and was called for a foul. As a result, Nick Young scored.

"Nick Young scored another 2+1. This guy is very excited. He scored 9 points in the first quarter, more than Xie." James Harden said.

Whiteside said: "Fortunately, there is a player like Nick Young beside Xie. He is so talented. I like this guy. He shares a lot of pressure for Xie."

On the court, after Nick Young successfully beat Irving 2+1, Xie Chen also celebrated with Nick Young excitedly. This was a response to the ball, so he should be excited.

The two aces of the Cavaliers were also left speechless by Nick Young. What kind of trick is this from the Lakers? Before Xie Chen made a move, they couldn't be defeated by Nick Young, otherwise, there would be no chance of winning.

Seeing the expressions of James and Irving, Xie Chen was also very happy. If Nick Young can disturb the opponent's emotions, it will be an even bigger achievement.

Therefore, Xie Chen saw that Nick Young was in such good condition, so he continued to pass the ball to him whenever he had the opportunity. Nick Young did not disappoint Xie Chen's expectations, and his shooting rate was still very high. He scored 15 points in a single quarter, two goals. The highest scorer on the team.

Seeing this situation, many people began to worry about the knight.

Yang Jiandao: "Xie Chen hasn't shown his power yet, but the Cavaliers are a little bit unable to defeat the Lakers. This is not a good sign. When Xie Chen turns on the scoring mode later, won't the Cavaliers be directly defeated?"

Zhang Weiping also said: "When Xie Chen's teammates perform well, the Lakers are the strongest team. Xie Chen's containment is too strong. When he attracts double-teams and his teammates can easily score, it is very difficult for the opponent." It's a test for you, and you have to flank Xie Chen, but you value Xie Chen so much, and once a player like Nick Young comes out, you can only accept the bitter consequences of failure."

In the Lakers dugout, everyone was praising Nick Young's performance.

Ci Shiping, who had already been reimbursed, also arrived at the scene and praised Nick Young: "I found that you were born for the finals!"

Larry Nance also joked: "After the last game, did you steal Stephen Curry's shooting bag? How come the three-pointer became so accurate?"

Nick Young was anything but modest: “Always like that!”

Everyone was also very amused by Nick Young.

However, Xie Chen didn't realize until the second quarter that Nick Young was so excited. It turned out he had an agenda!

In the second quarter, I thought Kevin Love, the Cavaliers' third giant, would show off, but it was Korver who was waiting. The Lakers had a chance to lead the Cavaliers by double digits, but they were defeated by Korver's three consecutive games. The ball was caught up.

Xie Chen couldn't sit still at this time and looked at Korver: "On the stage of the finals, the Splash Brothers couldn't beat me with three points. How could I lose to you?"

Korver is indeed a very good three-point shooter, and his shooting percentage is extremely high. He is the holder of the single-season three-point shooting percentage record in NBA history. He played at the peak of his career in the 2014-2015 season and was selected. He became an All-Star, shooting 48.2% from the field, including 49.2% from three-point range, and 90% from free throws, which is really scary.

Seeing Korver's performance, Yang Jian said: "When the Cavaliers lost to Xie Chen in the past two years, there was no Korver. With Korver this year, maybe it will be really different. Korver is The stronger his teammates are, the stronger he is. When he has a player like James next to him who can attract defenses and accurately pass the ball to him, it is very easy for Korver to score."

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, in fact, when Korver first came to the Cavaliers, he was not used to the Cavaliers' style of play. Korver is a player with a very good ability to escape with bare hands. He can enrich the Cavaliers' tactical board. But the problem is that the Cavaliers don't need it. In the first few games he came to the Cavaliers, he ran very actively, but no teammates cooperated with him. He had never played with the Cavaliers and sometimes he couldn't even find his position on the court. , and sometimes even unintentionally block the breakthrough route of teammates."

"The Cavaliers play too many singles." Yang Jian interjected.

"Yes, the number of isolation rounds of the Cavaliers accounted for 11.5% of the total offense, ranking third in the league, and the number of points obtained by isolations ranked first in the league. They are a veritable singles team, and the number of empty cuts is fourth in the league. The Cavaliers are Playing with superstars, tactics are all based on the personal strength of the stars, and the core of the tactics is how to make the stars comfortable, so Korver will not run away now, just one word, wait, I stand on the third Wait for your superstars to play singles outside the arc, or do some sporadic running. When James goes for a layup, do you want to double attack? ." Zhang Weiping said slowly.

Xie Chen also felt the threat of Korver. This guy's shooting percentage was already very high. Once James attracted the defense and left him an open shot, the shooting percentage became even more terrifying.

But just when Xie Chen was about to respond to Korver, Nick Young came over again, "Boss, don't rush to take action yet, leave Korver to me!"
