Chapter 524: Crazy Section!
Not long after the game started, no one expected Xie Chen to prevent the opponent from scoring in such a way, and such a tough foul was committed on his good brother Hassan Whiteside.
They are brothers off the court, and they are opponents on the court, whether it is Xie Chen, Hassan or Wade, they all know this very well and will not show mercy, but Hassan doesn't understand why Xie Chen cares so much about his two points in the first quarter.
"It seems that Xie really wants to win this game, and he is so unrelenting to the Heat in the first quarter, and he is still not relaxed when he leads by 7 points." James smiled, watching Xie Chen and his good friend fight like this, he thought it was funny.
Da Baibian was really affected, and the two free throws were all missed, and he didn't hit a single free throw!
"Opportunity! It's time to take a double-digit lead! ”
Xie Chen is very excited, and he wants to establish a double-digit lead in the first quarter, which is a good thing for the team, because he finds that these guys from the Knicks prefer to play tailwind, and gaining confidence first is extremely crucial.
Xie Chen quickly held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Dragic defended Xie Chen, Xie Chen kept changing his movements outside the three-point line, everyone knew that Xie Chen was ready to attack outside the three-point line, otherwise Xie Chen would not have spent so much time with Dragic on the outside, after all, it was too easy for Xie Chen to get past Dragic.
Xie Chen was on the right side of the arc of the three-point line, and the other Heat players watched Xie Chen dribble from behind his left hand to his right hand, all kinds of tricks Dragic made and couldn't help if he wanted to, so he couldn't just wrap up at this time, right?
Dragic knew that Xie Chen was going to shoot three points, and he was 100% sure that his mood had been disturbed by Xie Chen's dribbling, what could he do, the ball was in Xie Chen's hands, and when to shoot. The decision is up to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen shook to the left, and immediately jumped out of his hand!
"I don't believe it!" Dragic reached for the cover.
Swish!
Three-pointer!
The Knicks took a 10-point lead in the first quarter!
"It's too BT, it's too BT, it's even more BT than last season!"
"We all knew he was going to shoot threes, but we couldn't stop him, from the way he dribbled. You can see his self-confidence, and although it was Stephen Curry who broke the three-point shooting in the regular season, I firmly believe that Shea and Stephen Curry's three-point ability is on the same level. ”
The fans in the audience also shook their heads and sighed, Xie Chen, who was in the Heat last season, gave the opponent a lot of trouble with this kind of inexplicable three-point, and this season, with the promotion of Ku Ritian, Xie Chen's three points have also reached the level of Ritian, but Xie Chen is not as crazy as Curry in the regular season. Otherwise, the three-point shooting in the regular season is not necessarily Curry, of course, the two can compete for the three-point shooting in the playoffs, and at present, it is still comparable.
But for Xie Chen, he beat Curry in three-point shooting in the regular season and playoffs last season, and Xie Chen doesn't want to compete with Curry for these honors this season, as long as he can win the championship.
Xie Chen scored 24 points in a single quarter. The Knicks also have a 12-point lead, which is a terrible statistic. The playoffs are not the same as the regular season, and it is not easy to score more than 20 points in a single quarter.
"Coach." After the first quarter, Hassan Whiteside looked at Spo helplessly, and Coach Spo patted Hassan on the shoulder and said, "I know, that familiar killer is back." Isn't this the guy we've always known? He did that last year with the Heat, he's stronger this year, and through the first quarter, he's told us with his actions that he's going to win this game. Listen. Regardless of the outcome of this game, I want you to put your best foot forward and it's an honour for you to play against a player like this who is destined to go down in history. ”
Wade, Hassan, and singles Joe were silent, Joe Johnson had been in the NBA for so long, and it was the first time he heard the game when his team's coach praised his opponent so much, which greatly stimulated him.
On the Knicks bench, Anthony said to Xie Chen with a smile: "Brother, you were really fierce in the first quarter, I couldn't keep up with your rhythm, every time I just ran to the frontcourt, you had already finished the offense." ”
Xie Chen also smiled and said: "We have to try our best to win this game, tonight I am in charge of the first half and you are in charge of the second half." ”
"No problem." Anthony smiled: "I was in good shape today, but although the Heat are 12 points behind, their shooting percentage is actually okay, but you score too hard." ”
Xie Chen nodded, if it weren't for the fact that the Heat were in good shape, the current score difference would not be 12 points, but more.
Xie Chen has already scored 24 points, and if he scores another 6 points, he will start challenging the legendary team, Xie Chen's plan is to start the legendary plot within two quarters, and with a few assists in the second quarter, he will face another team.
In Xie Chen's absence, the Knicks really couldn't control the scene, and they were chased by the Heat by four points in a row, pulling the difference back to single digits, which made Xie Chen, who was sitting on the bench, very uncomfortable.
McRoberts of the Heat team, a big man close to two meters and 10, is very good at handling the ball, he and rookie Winslow actually staged several cooperation in succession, after seeing Winslow hit a three-pointer, Xie Chen couldn't help but shout at Ci Shiping on the court: "You also have a three-point shot!" ”
Ci Shiping was very helpless, pretending not to hear, he knew that Xie Chen wanted to win this game very much, and he kept saying in his heart that Lao Tzu also wanted to win, and Lao Tzu also wanted to shoot three points! But in the playoffs, Ci Shiping was a little afraid to play, to say that the defense was still as fierce as ever, but shooting, even if he practiced a lot in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he didn't have the confidence to shoot.
"What the hell is wrong with this old guy? He was asked to practice so many three-pointers in the regular season, and he thought that he would help the team in the playoffs, but he didn't even dare to shoot now. Xie Chen was very dissatisfied with Ci Shiping's performance in the playoffs.
Not only Ci Shiping, but also the two veterans of Odom and Ray Allen also did not contribute, and it felt as if this was no longer a stage for them. They can't find a bit of form on the pitch.
Ci Shiping not only did not attack, but was cut off by rookie Winslow when dribbling, seeing this scene, Xie Chen immediately took off his outer clothes and said to the coach: "Let me play!" ”
Fisher glanced at Xie Chen and was also surprised. I have never seen Xie Chen so angry, this is the second quarter of the second game, is it necessary to be so nervous?
Many people think that this is only the semifinals, and the opponent is just the Miami Heat, who are ranked fifth in the East, and the current stage is not a difficult challenge for the New York Knicks and Xie Chen.
But. What people don't know is that for Xie Chen, the biggest challenge in the playoffs has come, playing the Heat is more difficult than playing the Cavaliers and Warriors, as long as it is away, you must challenge the legendary Heat, if you lose every time you lose on the road, then the Heat with home-court advantage is destined to eliminate the Knicks.
Xie Chen hasn't found a way to defeat the legendary Heat yet, so it makes him uneasy.
After Xie Chen appeared, Wade and Luo Er Deng also appeared one after another. The game must not become Xie Chen's personal performance, and the Heat must not let Xie Chen score so many points in every quarter.
"Do you still want to go as crazy as the individual offense in the first quarter?" Both Pat Riley and Phil Jackson asked the question in their hearts.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Chen launched a fierce attack as soon as he came up!
Forced a breakthrough layup, Luo Er Deng stood under the basket without jumping, Hassan and Wade made a pounce on Xie Chen on the right side, Xie Chen used Rose's layup ability to dodge and fold in the air, collided with Luo Er Deng's body, and then made a layup from the left side with a low hand. The four of them were all piled on top of each other, and it was impossible to see where the ball was shot.
The ball was still scored by Xie Chen. He also awarded a blocking foul to Rohrdeen.
Xie Chen waved his fist and applauded, and Luo Erdeng stood up and shouted injustice.
For Wade and Hassan, the layup just now is the familiar Xie Chen, because last season, Xie Chen's most common layup method was Rose's. Since he has James's ability to make layups, Xie Chen has used James's domineering layup ability more, but he still has to rely on Rose to play with high difficulty.
Hassan and Wade looked at each other and smiled, and Pat Riley couldn't help but sigh. They all saw Xie Chen last season, the Xie Chen wearing the Heat No. 0 jersey, just like just now, desperately rushed to the basket, and then completed all kinds of unbelievable folding layups.
After Xie Chen hit the free throw, he was only 3 points short of 30 points, and there was still some time before the end of the second quarter, Xie Chen used the opponent's defensive attention to transfer the ball to his teammates, and the first person to receive Xie Chen's pass was Ci Shiping.
"Shoot!" Xie Chen shouted at Ci Shiping, who was vacant outside the three-point line.
"This guy...... Don't blame me if you can't make it! Ci Shiping was yelled at by Xie Chen, and he no longer hesitated, picked it up and threw it into the basket, and he really threw it in!
Xie Chen and Ci Shiping high-fived: "I want such a goal." ”
"No problem, man." Ci Shiping promised like this, but he was still a little weak in his heart, because he still felt that his grasp was far inferior to others, especially Xie Chen, Xie Chen's casual blind shot, even if it was ten meters away from the basket, was much more confident than Ci Shiping's shooting at the standard three-point line.
Not only Ci Shiping, but even the sharpshooter Lei Allen had an inferiority complex for his own ability because Xie Chen was too BT three points, and Xie Chen had been playing wantonly and did not understand their mood.
Five minutes later, Xie Chen scored more than 30 points, and the Legend Challenge started again!
"Ray Allen!" After the scene changed, Xie Chen saw Ray Allen wearing a Heat jersey at a glance!
Ray Allen only spent two seasons with the Heat, one season helping the team win the championship with his own three-pointer, and one season losing to the championship, after which the giants broke up.
Coupled with the others, Shaun Battier, Lewis, and Mike Miller, Xie Chen has quickly judged which year this is the Heat.
The Heat in the 2012-2013 season, with 27 consecutive wins in the regular season, had a final record of 66-16, the first in the league, and finally successfully defeated the Spurs in the tie-break and won the championship!
"It's another tough game!" Xie Chen secretly hated bad luck, the chance of encountering the Heat Big Three was too great, and the overall strength of this team could be said to be stronger than the Heat when the three of them met last time when they were just forming an alliance, but the slight difference was that Wade changed his style of play, and his physical condition was slightly worse than before, but the threat of others became greater.
When James was in the Heat, he entered the Finals four times in a row, which was really powerful, and Xie Chen led the Heat to the Finals last year, many people think that the past five years are considered a Heat dynasty, of course, some people think that this is not counted, because everyone still thinks that only the Lakers dynasty in the 50s, the Celtics dynasty in the 60s, and the Bulls dynasty in the 90s are considered to be yes.
However, the Celtics who reached the Finals four times from 1984 to 1987 are called "mini-dynasties", and the Heat of the past five seasons can barely be called that.
Although the Big Three of the Heat in the James era are strong, they are not without weaknesses, in fact, they have an obvious shortcoming, that is, the inside, which is a bit incredible, the Heat's biggest inside reinforcement is the Birdman Anderson who won the semi-retired state in the middle of 13 years, so when it comes to the historical team, people will always question their strength because of the Heat's weak inside.
But Pat Riley is such a stubborn person, there used to be Ewing and Mourning and O'Neal, and now the reinforcement is to maximize the strengths, with Miller and Battier, Battier and Ray Allen, but unfortunately, in the face of this Heat, the Knicks can't take any advantage, because the Knicks' interior line is not strong!
Lopez doesn't have the height, Porzingis doesn't have the power, and neither guy is the kind of player who can dominate the interior.
Xie Chen looked at the joyful conversation of the Heat historical players opposite, and then remembered their different experiences now, and suddenly felt a little emotional, Xie Chen was very familiar with the Heat in those four years, but until today he felt that maybe everything in life was a certainty.
The arrival of LeBron James opened the extraordinary years of the Heat, if he could, of course James would choose to be here until he retired, part of it was that James was really pitted, and the other reason was that James's ambition was too big, he was not just a player, he was the top star in the league, look at the privileges he enjoys in the Cavaliers now, you can understand why he left Pat Riley back then, Riley is too tough, James can't play under him for a long time.
Wade is still the same Wade, but he has dedicated almost his entire career with the Heat, and in the end he still can't even get a lifetime contract.
Now it seems that Chris Bosh, one of the most inconspicuous Big Three at the time, was really the biggest winner in his life, with a championship, personal honors, a top salary, and a continuous All-Star. Although he hasn't been a real boss in the past five years, what he's getting so far is too lucky and easy.
In the last Legend Challenge, Xie Chen had played three quarters before, and this time he only played less than two quarters, Xie Chen had plenty of physical strength and energy to challenge this team! (To be continued.) )
