Chapter 149: The Calm Before the Storm!
Right on the court, the Heat's lineup is Xie Chen, Chalmers, Granger, Shaun Williams and Hassan, while the Pacers' lineup is George Hill, Scola, David West, Masimmy and Myers.
Most of the two sides are substitutes, and this is also a good time for Xie Chen to score.
Now, Xie Chen's status in the Heat is basically the same as Wade and Bosh, and in private Xie Chen has a good relationship with his teammates, especially Chalmers and Hassan, Granger and Sean Williams have also already affirmed Xie Chen's leadership status, so in this section, they will try their best to pass the ball to Xie Chen, of course, this is in the case of Xie Chen's good hand, if he keeps missing shots, he has to rely on crazy shots to break the record, it is definitely not the result that Xie Chen wants.
The terrible thing about Thompson's single-quarter record is that he only used 13 shots, and all of them hit, even if the hand is hot, luck also accounts for a huge component, Xie Chen feels that the basketball replication system can be obtained with such an ungodly thing, and his luck should not lose to anyone, right?
Holding his breath, after receiving the referee's serve, he spun the ball in a circle with both hands, and Xie Chen hit the ball steadily, scoring 3 points in this quarter.
At this time, the whole team of the Pacers, including David West, who cared most about Xie Chen's appearance, did not realize Xie Chen's desire to break the record in this section, Xie Chen hid this desire very deeply, once it was exposed, it was the time when people blocked and killed Buddhas!
:
The Pacers attacked, Hill handed the ball to David West, who was in a good position, David West singled Shaun Williams with his back in the low post, pushed inside unhurriedly, and then suddenly turned around and rushed to the basket, Hassan stepped forward to help defend. But West hit a small throw, and at the same time caused a foul on Hassan!
David West returned Xie Chen a 2+1!
"Good!" Seeing the ball go into the net and hearing the referee's whistle, David West didn't wait for his teammates to praise him, he clenched his fists first and shouted hello.
West was enjoying the moment because he was playing the league's leading scorer, rookie of the year, and All-Star voter. Although he didn't like Xie Chen, he also felt that it was an honorable thing, he knew that in terms of scoring, he was definitely not able to compare to Xie Chen, so he finally scored one, and immediately walked up to Xie Chen and shouted: "I said, there are too many players in the league who are better than you, you are not the first point guard at all, you are ten Stephen Curry worse than Chris Paul!" ”
West knew that Xie Chen had a high IQ and emotional intelligence. The response to the trash talk was also fast and desperate, so without waiting for Xie Chen to shoot back at him, he quickly walked to the free throw line like a child who hurriedly ran away after the gun, and proudly prepared to make a free throw.
Xie Chen couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at West's small steps, but West's words just now also reminded Xie Chen, no wonder West hates himself so much, jealousy is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it is because he is a supporter of Paul.
As everyone knows. David West and Paul are good brothers, with West in his rookie season having four points and four rebounds in the New Orleans Hornets. is like a soy sauce character, according to the development of such a plot, he is an unknown character in the NBA, but when a person arrives, the plot has changed. That man was Chris Paul.
It was also David West's luck that a good point guard like Chris Paul could get to the Hornets, at that time, because neither the Bucks nor the Hawks needed to strengthen the guard line, so they didn't sign Paul, which is as ridiculous as the Trail Blazers gave up Jordan in 1984 because they had "glider" Drexler at the SG position. Then, the Jazz chose the 191cm Deron Williams, and Paul was picked up by the Hornets at the time.
After Paul's arrival, West's scoring average skyrocketed to 17.1 points per game! The hit rate is as high as 51.2 percent! Some people say that without Paul, an academic teenager, West would have been reduced to a substitute! West is a marionette!
Therefore, David West has a good impression of an assist-type point guard like Paul, and he has no good impression of scoring point guards like Xie Chen, Westbrook, and Curry.
"Hehe, you want to teach me a lesson for your good brother? Okay, then I'll see how you, the guy with three fouls, do it! West finished the free throw, Xie Chen held the ball over half the court, faced Hill's defense, and squeezed hard with his body, and then, Rose made a layup, West didn't dare to commit a rash foul this time, and could only watch Xie Chen score the ball.
This is Xie Chen's 5th point in this section.
David West now has 3 fouls and should have been replaced to rest first, but just now he raised his hand to the coach on the court, saying that he would be careful, he wanted to stay on the court, because he wanted to stop Xie Chen, but his fear of defense not only couldn't stop Xie Chen, but also gave Xie Chen an easier chance to score.
"Now David West doesn't dare to foul, and it's a good opportunity to break inside." After Xie Chen scored quickly, he quickly rushed to the backcourt, and the whole person looked extremely excited, and his feet were full of strength.
David West said to his two-meter-one-one teammate Ma Simmi: "I have 3 fouls, if Xie still dares to rush into the interior so rampantly, you have to give him some color for me, do you hear?" ”
The slightly silly Ma Simmi nodded: "I see." ”
After Xie Chen scored again, David West decided to return the color, after asking for the ball in the same position, he did not rigidly play with his back to the single, but saw that Chalmers wanted to wrap himself up, and completely let go of Hill on the outside, after receiving Hill's pass, almost instantly, he passed the ball back to Hill with one hand, and the whole action was extremely chic and domineering, and Hill lived up to expectations, after receiving West's return pass, he shot a three-pointer.
"Well voted!" West excitedly stepped forward and slapped Hill, this feeling of leading the team to a duel with Xie Chen is too cool, Xie Chen is better than Anthony in the duel, better than the Thunder Ershao, if he loses to himself, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? The more West thought about it, the happier he became.
"Hey, boy, my one-handed instant return pass just now looks prettier than all your passes!" In the middle of the defense, West couldn't help but harass Xie Chen again.
Xie Chen smiled, not angry, his task in this quarter was to surpass Thompson's 37 points, and it was a good thing for West to focus on the personal duel between the two, at least he would not realize his ambitions in this section for a short time.
Chalmers dribbled the ball across the half court, Xie Chen was entangled with the 1.98 meter Miles in the low position, a posture of asking for the ball, Miles knew Xie Chen's ability to jump backwards, and kept squeezing Xie Chen, not letting him catch the ball comfortably, at this time, Xie Chen suddenly gave Chalmers a look, Chalmers immediately understood, and fished the ball directly to the inside line, Xie Chen turned his back and shook off the defender, and jumped up when he received the first step of the ball!
Ma Simmy on the inside line also quickly jumped up to block, but he was instructed by David West to defend Xie Chen well, so he worked hard, but he didn't expect Xie Chen's ball to be a lever, and Ma Simmy hit Xie Chen's arm, but Rose's good body balance allowed Xie Chen to score the ball again!
Another 2+1!
"Damn it!" David West was a little depressed, feeling a lot of pressure, and scored three goals in a row, how did David West respond?
Because every goal is important, Xie Chen, who has always been very fast in free throws, eased up at the free throw line for a while before throwing the ball, and then hit, this is Xie Chen's 8th point in this section.
Xie Chen's first two goals, David West responded to the other party with scores or assists, this time Xie Chen unceremoniously scored another goal, David West, as the main force on the court, is absolutely unyielding, or the same style of play and the same tactics, David West asked for the ball in a low position, and did not attack strongly, passed back to Hill, this time Chalmers did not give Hill a chance to vacate the position, Hill passed back to West, West started instantly after receiving the ball, and made a strong layup!
"you!" Hassan, who was waiting for David West to take the bait under the basket, blocked the basketball with a slap.
Granger grabbed the ball, and then made a long pass, directly to Xie Chen, who was already about to go down, Xie Chen quickly walked to the three-point line, jumped shot, and hit again!
The home fans applauded excitedly! This is Xie Chen's 11th point in this section! It only took two minutes!
"Damn! This guy scores so fast, Carmelo Anthony is no match for him, I can't compete with him at all! David West finally realized that he was not a player of the same level as Xie Chen, but when it came to Anthony, he suddenly thought of Anthony's 33 points in a single quarter, Anthony's 33 points in a single quarter, and suddenly thought of Thompson's record-breaking 37 points in a single quarter!
West was suddenly shocked in his heart: "Wait, he scored 4 goals in a row, two twos plus one, that is, 11 points, so quickly scored 11 points, does he want to break Thompson's single-quarter record this quarter?" ”
David West is the first Pacers player to have this concern, but it's just a guess, after all, Xie Chen himself is a guy who pursues scoring, and he doesn't think Xie Chen has the ability to break 37 points in a single quarter.
Records are available but not sought, every historical record needs timing and a certain amount of chance, people do not deny Klay Thompson's strength, but this record, more or less with great chance, so that Clay can not do it again, others? Even more unlikely, and on the same day, isn't this a heavenly joke?
At this time, although David West had this doubt, he didn't think that Xie Chen would really be arrogant enough to dare to challenge the historical record that had just been born.
In order to score more easily in the early stage, Xie Chen must eliminate the opponent's doubts, he scored 11 points in a row, and felt that there were already signs of exposing the purpose, once the Pacers adopted a bag defense, it would be troublesome to limit their scores, so next, he assisted the opponent twice in a row, one success, one failure, plus Wade and Bosh also appeared soon, the Heat Big Three were all on the court, David West completely eliminated doubts.
Before the storm came, it was always quiet, Xie Chen pressed his hand on his constantly beating chest, and said secretly: "There are still 26 minutes to ......" (to be continued...... R1292
