Chapter 523: Scene 2!
Before the start of the second game of the Miami Heat and New York Knicks series, both the media and fans predicted that the Knicks could win, even if this is the home court of the Heat, everyone did not think that the Heat could win two games in a row against the Knicks, and in the East, only the Cleveland Cavaliers could beat the Knicks in a row.
The Heat players all know how difficult the opponent they are facing is, but after Pat Riley's speech, they have become confident, and Xie Chen, who is fully exerting his strength, really makes them helpless, but what if Xie Chen can't fully play his full strength? They never thought about this, and Wade and Hassan, who are good brothers, of course, also care about Xie Chen's physical condition, but they are professional athletes and they can't resist the temptation of the championship.
"Is there really something wrong with Xie's body?" The players of both sides have entered the stadium, and Wade has been observing Xie Chen, feeling that Xie Chen is fine, and he is in good condition.
The Cavaliers are also watching this game.
"James, what do you think are the chances of winning this Knicks game?" Kevin Lefu scratched his hair and asked nonchalantly. In last year's playoffs, Lefu missed the showdown with Xie Chen due to injury, and he protected himself well in this year's playoffs, and he did not allow himself to have any accidents before the Eastern Conference Finals.
James touched his chin and replied: "The Knicks have a high chance of winning tonight, Xie will not watch the team lose two games in a row, in fact, I think he played a little slack in the last game, this one should play with all his might, of course, it is not ruled out that the Heat may win, after all, their overall strength is also very strong, if the Heat can win both home courts, then this series will be interesting, even if the Knicks have to reverse at that time." It also takes a lot of effort, and that's a good thing for us. ”
James doesn't take the Chicago Bulls seriously, and he is ready to fight Xie Chen.
The game started quickly, and tonight's presidents of both teams, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, were also on the scene, and the two were not far apart from each other, so they could easily see each other.
Riley glanced at Phil Jackson, who was calm on the surface. I thought to myself: "Xie has a big physical problem in the second half of the game, this Xie should try to maintain his physical strength in the first three quarters, this is our Heat's chance, expand the score as soon as it comes up, D-WADE, show your great leadership skills again!" ”
The Heat's strategy is to launch an onslaught as soon as they come up, put pressure on the Knicks, and cause huge physical exertion to opponents, including Xie Chen. Even Wade, Bosh, Joe Johnson, and Stoudemire are far older and can't afford to wear than the Knicks' main players, but they just dare to do it.
However, unfortunately, Xie Chen had to do this in the first place!
As soon as it came up, the Heat relied on Wade's assist, and Joe Johnson hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and everyone thought that Xie Chen would maintain his strength in the first half and not attack too fiercely. So there was no special defense Xie Chen when he came up.
Xie Chen took advantage of Porzingis' cover and was one step at the three-point line. Just get a chance and don't hesitate to shoot three points!
Ball in!
"Oh?" Pat Riley was slightly startled, Xie Chen couldn't help it so much? As soon as he came up, he returned Joe Johnson one.
Joe Johnson's 37 percent three-point shooting percentage is better than Gerald Green, who was seen as an outside threat when he joined the Heat. The Heat have never been a team that relies on three-point shooting, and last season there was only such a three-point master as Xie Chen, and after Xie Chen left, he returned to the same state, and the addition of Joe Johnson would give them a better choice.
Hassan is still domineering, and opponents like Lopez and Porzingis don't interest him at all. In addition, he knew that Xie Chen's physical condition was not very good, although he was a brother, he also wanted to win, and he also scored two points quickly to continue to put pressure on the Knicks.
If it weren't for Xie Chen's plan to attack as soon as he came up, maybe he would really be stunned by the Heat as soon as he came up.
Coach Spo was also full of joy when he saw Hassan's positive state and good hand: "Yes, that's it, it's great, isn't Xie planning to decide the winner in the fourth quarter?" Then you won't have a chance to decide the winner! ”
Who knows, in the next round, Xie Chen made a decisive shot again in the position of three points on the outside!
"What?" Everyone was taken aback, aren't you ready to conserve your strength? Why do you attack continuously as soon as you come up?
This time, the three-point shot was missed, but the basketball rebounded far away, and the rebound was luckily touched by Anthony, when he got the basketball, Anthony was ready to attack by himself, he wanted to impact the basket, which was a good opportunity, but he found that Xie Chen was calling himself.
"Give it to me!" Xie Chen ran from the position where he shot before to where Anthony was, and shouted quickly.
Anthony was also a little surprised, Xie Chen wanted to attack so much tonight? So Anthony didn't hesitate to send the ball to Xie Chen.
When Xie Chen received the ball, the person had not stopped, and Dragic in front of him had been sticking to it, generally speaking, Xie Chen had to stop the ball and use his feet to slowly get rid of the defense, but now, Xie Chen did not have this patience.
After receiving the ball, he quickly jumped in front of Dragic and made a three-point shot, using Maddy's three-point ability.
Swish!
Dragic also jumped for the first time, he thought that he could block Xie Chen's shot, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to suddenly change his shooting posture, and this change had an immediate effect.
"The last time he was pushing like Stephen Curry, this time he switched to this kind of shooting, and the time difference between the two shots was less than five seconds, how did he do that? This monster ...... "Dragic is a little unhappy, not unhappy with his own ability, but unhappy that the opponent is too BT, this is completely bullying, Dragic has no way, no defender.
As soon as I came up, I hit two three-pointers in a row, which didn't look like I wanted to retain my physical strength at all.
Pat Riley looked at Phil Jackson, Coach Spo looked at Fisher, and interestingly, Phil Jackson smiled mysteriously, but Fisher was just as worried as Spo.
They can't understand what the opponent is thinking, it's an indisputable fact that Xie Chen's physical strength has seriously decreased in the fourth quarter, does the Knicks want to solve the Heat in the third quarter? Even if the Heat is not strong. You don't get such contempt, do you?
The atmosphere at the scene was also a little deserted by Xie Chen's two three-pointers, and Xie Chen's crazy first quarter was just beginning.
Xie Chen has to score 30 points in two quarters, such an efficient score, if he can't let the team lead by more than eight points, it would be too much to say, he must ensure that he is in the crazy scoring period. The Knicks are ahead of the Heat, but the problem is that the Heat's offense is also fierce, and Xie Chen needs to put out the fire a little.
After a misplaced change of defense, Xie Chen single-handedly defended Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson didn't want to single Xie Chen, he was also ready to pass the ball back to Dragic, but as soon as the ball was in Joe Johnson's hands, Xie Chen, who was standing in front of Joe Johnson, said to him: "If you have the ability to beat me, try it." ”
Joe Johnson was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xie Chen.
Xie Chen is good with many people on the Heat team. So there is no way to use the trash talk offensive, Joe Johnson is one of the few people he is not familiar with, and he is the player who has been with the Heat for the shortest time, Xie Chen does not need to be polite to him.
"If you have time, watch more of my video with the Heat last year, after you joined the Heat, you played the same as ****, you didn't help the Heat." Xie Chen continued to stimulate Joe Johnson.
The Mr. 25 million hasn't had a good time in recent years, but he's also a seven-time NBA All-Star, and Joe Johnson is one of only five players in NBA history to score 18,000 points, 4,500 assists, 4,000 rebounds and 1,500 three-pointers. The Heat are also the only team in the league that currently has two 18,500-point players.
"Arrogant boy." Joe Johnson has to fight if he doesn't prepare to fight himself, as a senior in the league. How could he be insulted by his juniors! He's a singles Joe!
"Oops, Joe was by Xie." Wade watched from the weak side, and couldn't help but worry, but he couldn't help much.
Joe Johnson didn't shoot from the outside, and immediately beat Xie Chen with his strong body, Joe Johnson has a height of two meters and one. The physical confrontation is also very good, facing Xie Chen has an advantage, Xie Chen tries his best to defend, and there is a feeling of losing and retreating, but it is Xie Chen who deliberately lures Joe Johnson to play inside.
Xie Chen retreated slightly. Also watching the change in Joe Johnson's hand holding the ball.
"It's coming!" Xie Chen found out that Joe Johnson was going to prepare for the attack, and he was prepared.
Joe Johnson thought that he had a height advantage, and squeezed Xie Chen completely away, and he could easily complete this small throw, but he didn't expect that Xie Chen's sudden jump, the speed and height were so high, that his hands trembled a little.
"Smack!"
Xie Chen used Griffin's blocking ability and blocked the ball with his left hand. Williams picked up the basketball in time, and then handed the ball to Xie Chen, who saw that the whole Heat team had quickly returned to defense, and did not take a fast attack, and lowered the pace to play slowly.
Joe Johnson was very unhappy that he was hatted by Xie Chen one-on-one, or when Xie Chen deliberately provoked, which made him feel that Xie Chen must be laughing at himself.
"Don't care, he just wants to stimulate you, and he has no ill will towards you. Moreover, he is just that strong. Wade stepped forward and patted Joe Johnson and took the opportunity to comfort him.
Joe Johnson had no choice but to accept his fate, and he finally knew why the whole Heat team regarded Xie Chen as a hero.
This time offensively, Xie Chen handed the ball to Anthony first, and he ran to the bottom corner, and soon received a pass, Xie Chen just raised his arm and immediately tricked the defender into jumping, Xie Chen didn't think about making a foul, but ran all the way from the bottom corner, straight to the basket!
As soon as Hassan saw that Xie Chen was coming, he hurriedly shook off the Lopez who was entangled with him, and then jumped on the spot, Xie Chen had already jumped up, facing his former teammate Hassan, Xie Chen did not hesitate at all, and vigorously poured the frame with his right hand! Immediately caused an exclamation at the scene!
Hassan's arm hit Xie Chen's neck, which was not a skull, because the bodies of the two were staggered, and there was no head-to-head confrontation, but it did not hinder the excitement of this ball at all.
James, who was watching the game, exclaimed: "I guessed right, Xie played a little slack in the last game, he will definitely do his best to win this game, the Heat want to win tonight, it is difficult." ”
The Heat players were also frightened by Xie Chen's crazy attack, didn't Pat Riley say that Xie Chen was not as crazy as before? Didn't you say that Xie Chen had a health problem? But just a few minutes after the game, Xie Chen showed the most terrifying side.
Even if the god operator Pat Riley couldn't figure out how Xie Chen wanted to fight tonight.
Fisher saw Xie Chen's performance, both happy and worried, because he didn't know if Xie Chen's style of play could support it to the end, if the Heat played well, if the Heat was in good shape, and the score was deadlocked, the more it was in the end, the more harmful it would be to the lone hero Xie Chen.
Xie Chen must widen the score difference as much as possible when he has the ability, and a lead of three or five points will not make Xie Chen feel safe, at least above ten points.
After taking advantage of James' ability to make a layup and make another strong attack, the Knicks already had a 7-point lead.
"You have to be in double digits to be ahead." Xie Chen has been paying attention to the scores of both sides. No one cares so much about the point difference as he does when the game comes up.
"Guys, guard against this one!" As long as he defends against the Heat's offense, Xie Chen is confident that the next offense will directly pull the difference to double digits.
The defense is very important this time, and the offense is also very important for the Heat.
Wade is very important, and he's always been a leader who can help the team in key moments, and he's been in great shape overall this year, and he's more than capable of tackling the offense on his own.
Wade singled Williams with his back in the low post, Wade's footsteps made Williams unpredictable, and he turned around with his back and quickly wanted to sneak up on the basket!
Xie Chen had already guessed that Williams might not be able to prevent Wade, so he aimed at the opportunity and immediately stepped forward, and when Wade's basketball just arrived at the rebound, Xie Chen snapped and held it down.
However, the ball was not in Xie Chen's hands, but was grabbed by Hassan Whiteside.
When Hassan grabbed the ball, he was already very close to the position of the basket, so he immediately jumped to the basket, how could Xie Chen allow him to do this, easily jumped twice, jumped higher than the first time, and filmed the basketball down.
But unfortunately, due to the light strength of Xie Chen's block, the basketball was picked up by Hassan again.
Hassan also jumped again, Xie Chen felt that this time even if he bounced fast, it would be difficult to stop Hassan from scoring, after all, the height difference was too much, so Xie Chen used the power of Karl Malone to block Hassan in a tough way.
Hassan's ball didn't even have time to be thrown, and his body was already a little unstable. (To be continued.) )
