Chapter 570: The Most Classic Goal!
The most critical two free throws, James missed both free throws! He had a chance to further open the score, but now the score is maintained at 6 points!
Six points could be three offenses or two offenses, and the Knicks still have a chance!
As soon as the Knicks grabbed the rebound, Xie Chen immediately rushed to his teammates to ask for the ball, and the ball was quickly handed over to Xie Chen, who launched a fast attack without hesitation!
Xie Chen started very fast, running like thunder, leaving the two Cavaliers players behind at once, the more the game came to the last moment, the Cavaliers' defense of Xie Chen became tighter, and they even did not hesitate to completely freeze Xie Chen to force other players to beat them, but this time James did not hit the free throw to give Xie Chen a chance.
The Cavaliers have also had varying degrees of physical strength consumption until now, and Xie Chen is of course very tired after playing two games in a row, but he doesn't have to worry about speed, as long as he uses Wei Shao's breakthrough ability, his speed will always be so fast.
"Damn, he's so fast!" Owen wanted to stop Xie Chen, but found that his speed could not catch up with Xie Chen at all!
Tyronn Lue, the cavaliers coach who was on the sidelines, saw the empty picture under his basket and looked at Xie Chen's lightning-fast speed, and couldn't help but panic: "You must stop this guy!" ”
Fortunately, at this time, JR Smith is still very hard! Although he didn't have any system ability, he followed Xie Chen closely and didn't miss a single step.
Many people ignore the role of JR Smith, and some even think that he is a nerve knife, and sometimes he will cause trouble for the team, but it is undeniable that JR Smith defends Xie Chen's achievements, if there is no player like JR Smith in the Cavaliers, then Xie Chen will play more smoothly.
The Cavaliers are still leading by 6 points, and there is no need for them to foul Xie Chen and give Xie Chen a chance to make free throws for nothing. So this ball, they want to do their best to defend it properly.
Xie Chen ran wildly with the ball, hit the opponent's basket, jumped high, JR Smith and James pounced to block Xie Chen, Xie Chen used James's layup ability. After forcibly squeezing JR Smith with his body in the air, he suddenly realized that his arm was hit by James!
This could be a 2+1 opportunity!
Now in this situation, it is too difficult to shoot three points, the Cavaliers are very wary of Xie Chen's three points, Xie Chen has no chance to shoot at all, and now he urgently needs to score points quickly, that 2+1 is undoubtedly the best way to replace three-point shooting!
James' layup ability is very domineering, with strength and confrontation, but after a physical confrontation or a foul. The successful shooting rate of the layup is not high, Xie Chen had special training when he was suspended, and he has found a way, that is, when throwing the ball, try to throw the ball as high as possible, preferably to the upper edge of the rebound, although it is further away from the basket. But the hit rate was surprisingly good.
After being fouled by James, Xie Chen immediately used his special training ability. Throw the ball high into the air.
The referee's whistle had already sounded, and James panicked in his heart, knowing that he had fouled, but it didn't matter if he fouled, it was just two free throws, even if all of them were hit. is still 4 points short, 4 points means that at least two offensive opportunities are needed, and James just missed both free throws due to physical strength and mentality problems, and Xie Chen may not miss the free throws.
What James really cares about is this ball thrown by Xie Chen!
"So high!" As James fell, he looked up at the basketball as it continued to rise to the top of the rebound. Then watch the basketball slowly fall until it hits the net!
Ball in!
"No!" James was stunned!
"Good shot!" Xie Chen clenched his fists excitedly.
James's goal is indeed a foul, there is nothing wrong with this, James doesn't believe that Xie Chen can shoot such a goal? And this goal just now, it seems to be very familiar......
"I went to Los Angeles to find him when he was suspended, and he seemed to be training like this for high throwing layups! Don't...... Was he really trained by him? How is this possible? He has to shoot three-pointers every day to maintain his touch, and he has to practice dribbling and strength...... How is it possible to have time to practice this? ”
If this is also an ability, then this kind of ability, it is impossible to practice without a lot of training time, James and Xie Chen are also NBA professional players, he knows very well that Xie Chen cannot have time to practice these.
He didn't know that Xie Chen didn't need to shoot hundreds of balls a day like Curry did. He had more time than outsiders could have imagined.
There is only one minute left, Xie Chen must hit this ball, Xie Chen is more tired and more stressed than James, this ball is more critical than the two balls James just now.
Yang Jian said: "I have to say, Xie Chen is really still Xie Chen!" To be able to score like this at such a time is really an absolute superstar. ”
Yang Yi also praised: "The Cavaliers have used almost all the power they can use to restrict Xie Chen, but there is still no way, they are still caught up by Xie Chen, this goal is scored, and the Knicks are only one three-point shot, it seems that the suspense of the game is still there!" ”
Xie Chen stood on the free throw line and breathed a long sigh of relief, the free throw was based on his own ability, he couldn't be without pressure, the whole audience sounded boos, putting pressure on Xie Chen, what made people laugh was that just opposite Xie Chen, there were two knights' basketball babies standing under the basketball hoop, dressed in red and wearing BRA and super shorts, and they were scratching their heads to seduce Xie Chen at the moment!
"Damn! Even this method has been used! Xie Chen didn't look at them, these two blonde beauties were in good shape, if it was Harden's free throws, they might be affected by them.
Xie Chen steadied himself and shot the basket!
Crisp into the net!
The score is only 3 points away!
"Defend, this ball must be defended!" As soon as the goal was scored, I heard Fisher's side roaring loudly, for the Knicks, even if they scored points, there was no respite, there was not much time left in the game, if the Cavaliers scored points again, they would have no hope of equalizing this time!
James made a strong layup and was capped by Anthony!
The Knicks attacked, Xie Chen was blocked, and his teammates' shots were ruthlessly blocked!
No one can score at a time like this!
And just like that, time passed slowly. Gradually, there were only 7 seconds left at the end of the race. The Knicks are still trailing by three points, and they have one last chance to attack, and they can only choose to shoot threes!
The Eastern Conference Finals have entered the most critical time, and Yang Yi, as a commentator, can't help but get excited now, he sat up straight and said excitedly: "This attack of the Knicks next." It could be the goal that could make the difference between the outcome of the series! Now the Knicks are three points behind, they can only score threes, and if the Knicks can score three points to tie the score and drag the game into overtime, then they still have a chance to get the match point, and if not, I personally don't think they will return to Cleveland. ”
Yang Jian also said: "Indeed, this ball is a life-and-death goal for the Knicks, not only related to this game. It is possible to affect the outcome of the entire series. But it's too difficult for the Knicks now, they can only shoot three-pointers now, and in the last attack, 90% of the Knicks are to be handed over to Xie Chen to shoot, the Cavaliers must use the greatest defensive strength to defend Xie Chen, even if he has the strongest three-point ability in history, it is useless, he will definitely be stared at to death! ”
Yang Yi also said with a serious face: "That's right, I completely agree. This time, the goal that decided the life and death of the Knicks will definitely let Xie Chen play. I think that after Xie Chen receives the pass, he will shoot immediately, and he will find a slightly farther place to shoot a super long three! Even if Xie Chen shoots too long a three-pointer, the shooting percentage is much higher than that of his teammates. ”
During the most critical timeout, the whole atmosphere on the scene froze, outside the arena. No matter around the world, as long as the fans who watched this game, the mood was uneasy, and many fans speculated how Xie Chen would shoot this three-point shot under the tightest defense, and some people guessed like Yang Yi. After receiving the ball, even in the half-court position, when the defenders did not fully keep up, he directly shot three points, and Xie Chen's three-point shooting rate in the middle circle LOGO position was also more than 40 percent! Distance is not a problem for him at all.
There is also speculation that Xie Chen will be taken by surprise and will deliberately break through to the three-point loop, and then find physical contact to shoot two points, trying to play 2+1 to equalize the score.
Because Xie Chen has contributed too many unexpected goals in the past, at this moment, the fans are also brain-opening, and all kinds of unbelievable and even unreasonable ways to score goals have been highlighted by them.
Knicks bench.
Everyone's faces were incredibly dignified, and what was on them was a very difficult problem, and I am afraid that only Xie Chen could solve it.
Fisher looked at Xie Chen, he saw that Xie Chen kept panting and looked very tired, but as the head coach, he still decided to hand over the last attack to Xie Chen to shoot, this is not an ordinary goal, it is a goal that may determine the outcome of the series, if it is true, whether it is a shot or a miss, Fisher hopes that Xie Chen will do it, because Xie Chen is the undoubted leader of the team.
"Thank you......" Fisher called Xie Chen.
Xie Chen raised his head to look at Fisher, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the tactical board......"
……
"It's time-out! The most crucial encounter in the Eastern Conference Finals is about to be staged! Yang Jian was excited.
Everyone held their breath, they were all looking forward to Xie Chen's miracle moment!
When the players from both sides appeared at the same time, James, as the opponent, kept staring at Xie Chen's face, expecting to see something from Xie Chen's face.
"You'll have to vote next, right, thanks?" James asked silently in his mind.
Knicks serve sideline ball!
JR Smith stuck to Xie Chen, and said to Xie Chen before serving: "You don't want to get rid of me!" ”
Xie Chen's expression was still serious, ignoring him, and when the referee signaled for the game to restart, Xie Chen started quickly!
"Don't think you can get rid of me under cover!" JR Smith had long expected what he would encounter next, as long as the Knicks' team members didn't move too much, a tough guy like JR Smith could completely ignore the obstacles, even if he was yin, he would not hesitate, he had to follow Xie Chen and prevent this ball!
It's best to force Xie Chen to not catch the ball, but the knights are not reluctant, if they all go to surround Xie Chen and completely empty the others, the rest of the people can shoot three points.
Xie Chen got rid of JR Smith, rushed forward quickly, and received the basketball as soon as possible!
"Xie Chen received a pass!" It stands to reason that the link of "catching the ball" does not need to be explained, but Yang Yi feels that Xie Chen's next action is to project directly!
Even if there are seven seconds left in the offensive time, Xie Chen will use the fastest time to shoot, which is not only his opinion, but also the opinion of James and others.
The members of the two knights stepped forward and pounced on Xie Chen! Obviously, it is to prevent Xie Chen's ultra-long-distance three-point!
I saw that at this time, Xie Chen took advantage of the situation to make a feint, so that JR really thought that Xie Chen was going to shoot, and directly flew JR away, of course, JR is also absolutely smart, he will not be confused, he did not pounce on Xie Chen's body, but fell to one side, he will not give Xie Chen three free throws.
Xie Chen used the cover to directly pass another defender.
At the first moment, another person wearing a knight's uniform appeared in front of Xie Chen, and there must be someone in front of Xie Chen at any time and position!
Xie Chen's acceleration actually passed Tristan Thompson directly in front of him, and he stepped into the three-point line one step later!
James was standing on Xie Chen's right at the moment!
"Oops! He wasn't the one who carried out the final attack! James suddenly realized that if Xie Chen came to execute the last attack, he would never stand in the three-point line at this moment, even if the defense he encountered before was tight, Xie Chen would find an opportunity to shoot.
"Anthony!" James suddenly spotted Anthony running to the left 45-degree three-point line, and he was now empty!
Xie Chen, who dribbled with his right hand, also suddenly slapped to the left, and the ball reached his left hand, as if it was going to be handed over to Anthony in the next second.
But at this time, Xie Chen's left hand was behind his back.
Bang!
The sound of the basketball hitting the floor made James shiver.
Xie Chen: What does this mean? Not to the left, but to the right?
The basketball should have gone to the bottom right corner, but James remembered that there should be no Knicks in that position......
Suddenly, James felt a gentle push on his back.
James's face turned pale in an instant! He knew who was standing behind him, Ray Allen!
Ray Allen took advantage of this thrust to retreat straight, he didn't look at the position of the three-point line at all, his eyes kept looking ahead, aiming at the position of the basketball, and then, he retreated to the three-point line in the bottom corner impartially and received the ball!
This position is the most critical position that Ray Allen set up for the Heat to win the championship that year, and even the steps and posture of retreating are exactly the same as that game.
"No!" Frightened, James flew desperately towards Ray Allen! (To be continued.) )
