Chapter 308: Are You in Love or Playing Ball?
In fact, Xie Chen and Curry can be regarded as "enemies are very red when they meet", but no one expected to say hello when they met, and the atmosphere between the conversations was not a little tense, and it was a little ambiguous! Iguodala who was passing by couldn't help but tease the two young juniors.
Xie Chen and Curry immediately withdrew their clasped hands quickly, both of them were a little embarrassed, thinking carefully about the conversation just now, it was indeed a bit less like an opponent and more like a lover, something must have gone wrong!
Curry coughed, and no longer politely said to Xie Chen, and immediately changed his tone: "ESPN's 25 commentators predicted the outcome of the finals, and 18 of them thought we would win, don't you feel sad to hear this survey?" β
Xie Chen smiled: "ESPN's host Katie told me that there were also a few cleaning aunts in the building who participated in this vote, and I also wanted to be sad, but I really couldn't do it." β
Curry didn't show weakness either: "Oh, yes? No wonder there are still 7 guys who are obsessed with thinking that you will win the championship, it turns out that they are cleaning. β
Iguodala next to him shook his head, knowing that these two guys would fight to the death, and they were so reluctant to argue before the game, let alone on the court.
Iguodala will start today, and it's worth mentioning that this is the first time Iguodala has started all season, and that is, in the Finals! When Coach Kerr found Iguodala and told him that he was going to play as a starter, Iguodala actually refused in his heart, "If you ask me to play as a substitute, I will play as a substitute, and if you ask me to play as a starter, I will play as a starter?" I don't want to do it yet! But Iguodala was reluctant, and his mouth was obedient.
Although the strongest position of the Heat is the No. 1 position, the strength of the No. 3 position Rohr Deng should definitely not be underestimated, Kerr just wants Iguodala to prevent Rohr Deng from death, yes, it is a complete death. can't let him play a role at all, as long as Xie Chen gets less help, with only Xie Chen and Wade, he can't beat the Warriors team with the first record in the regular season!
The finals must be the most concerned by basketball fans all over the world, especially in China, which has a large number of NBA fans. This is the case every year, and this time coincides with the annual college entrance examination time, so it is really a very difficult thing for college entrance examination candidates.
CCTV Sports must also attach great importance to it, and in the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Yi and Yang Jian began to understand before the game began.
As soon as Yang Yi came up, he looked excited: "Finally! Thousands of troops stirred up half of the smoke, and in the final battlefield, only two armies were still facing each other! They are the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat! One of them will win the championship! No matter who wins in the end, the history of the NBA league will be rewritten! β
Yang Jian also said: "That's right, such two teams will face each other on the stage of the finals. I have never seen it before, the core of both teams is a point guard of 1.93 meters, and the killer features of both are long-distance three-pointers, and the two will stage a three-point battle again on the finals stage, so for them, this is also a battle of records, although the question is a bit old-fashioned, but I still have to ask Yang Yi. Heat and Warriors, who are you more optimistic about? Why? Tell us all. β
Yang Yi said seriously: "Before I say my answer." Let me start by saying that these are two teams that have a lot of similarities and too many differences. First of all, both the Warriors and the Heat are extremely good teams in the fast break, with the Warriors averaging 21 points per game during the regular season, which is the highest in the league. The Heat have two All-Star-caliber guards on the guard line and are among the league's top scorers at breaking through to score. Needless to say, the strength of the fast attack and the awareness of the fast attack are self-sufficient. β
"The Warriors are the most well-built, the most complete, and the most fluid team in the league. His 27 assists per game in the regular season and four times per game put them well ahead of the league, and despite 25 declines so far in the playoffs, he is still unassailably at the top of the 16 playoff teams. β
However, unlike the Warriors, the Heat relied too much on Xie Chen alone. The Heat averaged just 19 assists per game in the playoffs. β
However, the Warriors also have their own problems, that is, there are no offensive and lethal players on the team, like Xie Chen. During the regular season, the Warriors, who ranked first in the league in assists per game, three-point shooting percentage, shooting percentage, team points per 100 possessions, and almost all offenses, were the only ones who fell behind in individual events was the number of free throws per game. β
"The Warriors averaged 20 free throws per game in the regular season, ranking fifth from the bottom in the league, and entered the playoffs, averaging 21, 1 free throws per game, a slight increase, but still ranked last in the top 16 of the playoffs, and don't forget this: In the seventh game of the Western Conference finals, the Rockets frequently fouled maliciously in the case of an unbalanced mentality, and finally gave the Warriors 45 free throws in the whole game, if you throw away this game, the Warriors only average 19 free throws per game in the playoffs! And the Heat, second only to the Rockets, Clippers, and Cavaliers, are a very lethal team in the playoffs! β
"Also, both teams are the best teams at shooting three-pointers in the playoffs, and both are the teams that limit opponents' three-pointers the most."
"From the perspective of experience, the Warriors have no player who has Finals experience at the moment, while the Heat have two All-Star stars! Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh! In addition to these two stars, other role players, such as Chalmers, Kerr, Haslem, etc., have followed the team to the Finals stage for four consecutive years, and the Heat have completely overwhelmed the Warriors in terms of experience! β
"So what is your choice?" Yang Jian asked.
"So my choice is the Warrior!"
"Huh?" Yang Jian was shocked, listening to Yang Yi's tone just now, he thought that he would choose the Heat, because the game started soon, Yang Jian also had to hurry up: "Okay, it seems that Xie Chen's injuries are the reason why you chose the Warriors, let's wait and see, see how Xie Chen, who was injured in the Eastern Conference Finals, recovers now, and see if Bosh can play a role in the dramatic comeback, let's hand over the game to Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia in the United States." β
The picture came to the United States again, Oracle Arena, where Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia were commenting on the finals.
Yu Jia said excitedly: "Hello audience and friends, welcome to NBA2...... Sorry, welcome to the Oracle Arena for the Grand Finals, which are also very dramatic. Bosh is back in the picture! Director Zhang, do you think Bosh's comeback will help the Heat? β
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "There must be help, even if you don't score, it can boost morale, and Bosh has a good shot, as long as he gets an open opportunity on the outside, I think it's for him." There shouldn't be much of a problem with shooting, but he shouldn't have much playing time, after all, the Heat have adapted to this lineup, and it is impossible to change the formation for Bosh. β
Sure enough, the Heat's starting lineup was still the same as in the previous series, and Bosh did not appear in the starting lineup, obediently sitting on the bench and waiting for the call.
Bosh's comeback this time is different from the return of the king staged by Xie Chen and Wade before, and it is generally believed that it is thunder and rain. This time there was no starter, Bosh mentality is also very peaceful, he talked to Spo about his position in the finals, and he only made one request to Coach Spo, it doesn't matter if he starts or not, it doesn't matter how much he plays, he only asks for a little!
The moment the Heat won the championship, he was on the court!
The Warriors are not an opponent who will be beaten by a big score. So, Bosh predicts that if the Heat win the championship. It must have been at the last moment to decide the winner, at that time, it was the time when the ratings were the highest, the most exciting time, all the main forces would be present, and he loved the picture of celebrating in advance. At that time, he was going to welcome the arrival of the championship with Xie Chen Wade!
The Warriors started Curry, Klay Thompson, Iguodala, Green, Bogut.
The exciting time is finally about to begin! Xie Chen couldn't hide his excitement, he finally came to the stage of the finals, and he was only four wins away from winning the championship! That's the highest honor! How many talented and talented stars have struggled for their entire careers without touching the championship trophy!
Championships are one of the league's biggest draws to players. LeBron James did not hesitate to leave Cleveland for the championship and came to Miami to form a team of brothers.
Xie Chen is lucky, he had good teammates in the first year, and the team had the strength to win the championship in the first year, if there is no Wade, no Hassan, I believe that even if Xie Chen's personal strength is strong, it will be difficult to come here and meet Curry and the Warriors!
Curry is also equally excited, putting aside his personal grudge with Xie Chen, he also reached the finals for the first time in his career and has a chance to win the championship.
At this moment, except for James who didn't watch the game, the eliminated Clippers, Spurs, and Rockets all paid attention to this game, and no one expected that the showdown in the finals would be Curry and Xie Chen, the two recruits, Popovich was very unhappy, in his opinion, his Spurs veterans were very good at dealing with the Warriors and the Heat, but now the result is that he hasn't even passed the second round!
"If it weren't for the Clippers, this year's championship might have been mine. Damn the Clippers, beat us and lost to the Rockets! No, next season, I have to make sure that I win the West, and I want to strengthen my strength! How can a competition of such a level be given to them in the finals? Popovich said secretly.
The much-anticipated Great War has finally begun!
Australian big center Andrew Bogut and Hassan jumped the ball, I don't know if it was because of nervousness, Hassan touched the ball just when the ball was thrown to the highest point, and was whistled by the referee.
There was a thunderous cheer at the scene!
Hearing the deafening sound at the scene, Xie Chen couldn't help but pluck out his ears, he really couldn't stand it, he was excited like this just after a jump ball in the opening game, and after a while, the warrior hit it well? The fans at the Warriors scene have always been fanatical, especially when they meet Xie Chen, they are particularly energetic, and they will not get tired of shouting the same decibel for the whole game.
No. 30's cute Curry dribbled slowly, and the defender of him was Xie Chen, who looked young and not tall and strong, everyone saw two people appear in the same picture, and couldn't help but sigh, when did the NBA become the world of technical players? LeBron James, the representative of the physical-gifted Fauvist faction, has gone home, and the people who are really going to compete for the championship are all small men in their early nineties.
Curry was very bad, he knew that Xie Chen's right arm was injured, but he didn't want to continue to hurt the other party, but he also deliberately broke through to the left, and the speed was very fast, and his body went straight to Xie Chen's right arm all of a sudden!
Xie Chen was startled, thinking that Curry was going to maliciously hit his right arm, although the pain had almost disappeared, but Xie Chen's right arm would still be a while away from recovery, and it would never be able to withstand the collision again.
While Xie Chen retreated, he unconsciously raised his right foot and accidentally tripped Curry, Curry didn't pay attention to it and hit it directly, and with a bang, the person fell directly on Xie Chen, and even Xie Chen fell to the ground.
Chen Yihan, who was sitting on the top floor of the audience, laughed: "Haha, Curry fell on Xie Chen!" β
Curry happened to lie on Xie Chen's stomach, at this time the referee had already whistled, blowing Xie Chen's foul, as soon as Xie Chen fouled, the fanatical fans on the scene couldn't stop it, shouting and roaring wildly, but this group of people called Gui Shou, the "copycat Curry" brand is gone, the copycat refers to defective products, but no one has to admit that Xie Chen's three-point ability does come from Curry, but compared to Curry, it is not bad.
"Hey, how are you?" Iguodala quickly stepped forward to pull Curry up, and Curry replied that it was fine. Xie Chen couldn't help but interject: "Of course it's okay for you to fall on me, shouldn't you comfort me about my situation?" β
Iguodala smiled and ignored it.
Immediately afterwards, Curry launched an attack again, and when he came up, he didn't mean to shoot a three-pointer, but assisted Green, who received the ball and made a layup, but was slapped out by Hassan on the inside!
The ball was photographed in the direction of Xie Chen and Curry!
Xie Chen and Curry are extremely similar, but it can never be said that the two are equated, at least, everyone knows that Xie Chen is much better than Curry in grabbing rebounds.
Curry also knows that his bounce and physical confrontation are not as good as Xie Chen, and he is not a person who is not self-sufficient, but Curry's position is too good, the ball is on his head, he can't help but grab it, right? So, Curry jumped bravely!
Then, as he expected, Xie Chen also jumped up, and the whole person pounced.
In the end, Xie Chen still grabbed the ball with Stevenson's strong pressure, but Curry held on to it, and in the end, the two fought fiercely again, Curry was inferior to Xie Chen in the physical confrontation, and fell directly to the ground after landing, Xie Chen also lost his balance and fell to the ground because he had to worry about his right arm, but this time it was just the opposite just now, and it was replaced by Xie Chen pressing on Curry's body!
βouchγβ Curry screamed in pain.
But when it was called, Curry found that Xie Chen was not heavy, and it was nothing to press this time.
Iguodala stepped forward again, he reached out to Curry to pull him up again, and couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you really in a relationship?" (To be continued......)
