It seems that the Warriors really care about Xie Chen's opponent, and they actually used such an unexpected "RIPPLAY" at the beginning, under normal circumstances, the Warriors' ball is seven or eight times out of ten Curry rushing outside the three-point line to get a shooting opportunity, so defenders will focus on Curry, and would never have thought that the lazy Barnes would suddenly kill the inside.

There is overlap between Barnes's running route and Xie Chen's route with Curry, at this fork in the road, Xie Chen will face a choice, whether to continue to follow Curry, or to chase Barnes, if you look at it in slow motion, it is obvious to stop Barnes who goes to the basket, but at that moment of fast follow-up, if you hesitate for half a second, you will miss the opportunity to block Barnes.

Xie Chen was still very decisive, because he had vaguely felt that this time's tactics might not be so simple.

Xie Chen's tactic of intercepting the Warriors surprised the Warriors' interim coach Wharton, and also surprised the audience, because as far as the fans are concerned, at the same time, so many people are running, and the ball is far away in the left area, many people are confused, I don't know how the ball got to Barnes, and I don't know how Xie Chen, who defended Curry, appeared behind Barnes, and I don't know!

"That's amazing! Insight into the Warriors' tactics! These people who have been mocking Xie Chen don't dare to speak anymore, Curry has never had this kind of defensive performance, and besides, Xie Chen is a copycat, they themselves feel blush.

As soon as he came up, he was impersonated by Xie Chen, and even Curry felt that the best defensive player this season might fall on Xie Chen.

Best Defensive Player, Xie Chen has a chance to fight for, Curry is definitely no play, but Curry can compete with Xie Chen for another most important award, regular season MVP!

Last season, Curry should have won the MVP, but he was snatched away by Xie Chen. This season, of course, Curry wants to snatch the MVP back, and so far this season, Curry has been beating Xie Chen in the official MVP rankings, but the temporary lead does not make Curry feel at ease. Last season, what if he led for a whole season, and was not counterattacked by Xie Chen in the end?

One of Curry's big advantages in competing for MVP is that the Warriors have a good record and are still the best record in the league, and he is the best player in the best team.

But since last year, people have noticed that this award is not so simple. The Warriors have a good record. But it's not just Curry who is supported by himself, but more by the team and the system, but the Knicks are different, and winning is by the core Xie Chen.

Xie Chen and Curry average about the same points per game, Curry is still temporarily ahead, but there is a gap between assisting Curry and Xie Chen, and the most terrifying point is that Xie Chen makes his teammates better. But Curry didn't, or rather. Compared to Xie Chen, it is much worse.

And this is the biggest drawback of Curry and Xie Chen's competition for MVP!

Xie Chen turned Anthony into the league's scoring champion, and turned Porzingis, a rookie who was originally not favored by everyone, into the current No. 1 rookie candidate! With these two points, Xie Chen will be more competitive when competing for MVP!

"It's an MVP battle. I haven't beaten him yet, I have to beat him once, and I'm going to show others that I can make my teammates better! Stephen Curry had already decided before the game about tonight's playing ideas and gave up one-on-one heads-up with Xie Chen. It's more about helping teammates, so it's no surprise that Curry covers the first ball to attract the defense and give Barnes a shot.

Compared with Curry, who regards this game as an MVP battle, Xie Chen is much easier, after blocking, he grabbed the rebound with Barkley's rebounding ability, and then quickly rushed to the frontcourt, the Warriors retreated very quickly, and did not give Xie Chen a chance to score quickly and make a layup, but they still missed a point.

Porzingis!

As soon as Porzingis walked to the three-point line, Xie Chen passed the ball to him, Porzingis did not go to the inside line, he jumped up and shot directly, it is still difficult for you to defend against the two-meter-two-one tall person, Porzingis feels good and hits directly.

5：0！ Xie Chen likes this kind of start.

Then, Curry assisted Klay Thompson, Thompson didn't hit, if the Knicks scored again, the score would become 7:0 or 8:0, for such a goal to hit the opponent, Xie Chen is also determined to win, he likes this kind of score the most.

"If we can play a wave of 10-0 for the Warriors at the beginning, then the Warriors will be led by our nose for the entire first half." Xie Chen realized the importance of the next ball and decided to play it himself.

Xie Chen began to try to break through the step-back jumper after one step, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, Xie Chen suddenly changed to a forced breakthrough, which caught the Warriors off guard, Xie Chen used Rose to fold the layup and add two more points!

7:0！ The Knicks got off to a really good start.

Because Xie Chen's folding layup was advanced under Green's defense, so Dream Chasing Green was very unhappy and kept scolding in place, Xie Chen saw that Green was so emotional, and couldn't help but step forward and stimulated: "The last time we played such a perfect start was when we played Jazz 38:0, I heard that some time ago, you played two overtimes before you won narrowly, and the level is about the same." ”

"Damn, who do you think we're like?" As soon as Xie Chen compared the Warriors to a team like the Jazz, Green immediately became furious.

Warriors boss Curry stepped forward and patted Green to comfort him: "Don't care. ”

Curry is cool, he's getting cooler, originally he didn't have this cool side, since he suffered Xie Chen's many blows.

Next time, the Warriors' tactics were not created for others, that is, to Curry, when Xie Chen was chasing Curry, he was blocked by another covering player of the Warriors, and he was a step slower, causing Curry to receive the ball, Xie Chen had lost the initiative and could only jump quickly.

But Curry was smarter and more patient, obviously had the opportunity to shoot three points directly, but gave up, but suddenly moved to the right, lured Xie Chen over, and then shot two points, Xie Chen couldn't defend when there was a foul action, Curry was under the foul, hit the board and hit the two points.

2+1！ Curry returned the favor with a two-plus-one. The Oracle Arena, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to boil......

"Curry, well done! Defeat him! ”

"You're the MVP!"

"Avenge Beken!"

The fans shouted excitedly one by one, Xie Chen was startled, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I was fighting in the most terrible devil's away game, and I actually felt it after a few minutes of fighting." ”

This kind of atmosphere is the home court of the Warriors that Xie Chen is familiar with, I remember the first time I came here. Xie Chen had just become famous, and those fans kept calling Xie Chen a copycat, and then Xie Chen shot three points again and again, more accurate than Curry's shots, and they were speechless.

In order to shut up those people, Xie Chen has also decided to use more or even only Maddy's three-point shooting ability in this game, and the All-Star Game is about to begin, and it is time for everyone to know Xie Chen's other ability.

Curry hit a steady free throw, but finally couldn't make the Knicks 10-0. Sure enough, it is the team with the first record in the league, and it is indeed not easy to deal with, but the reason why the Warriors can score is still relying on Curry, and Curry's plan to "make his teammates better" still failed to succeed.

2+1, it is still on Xie Chen's body, which Xie Chen absolutely can't bear, because of 2+1. He is the Grandmaster.

Looking back, Xie Chen decided to let Curry learn the results of his special training during the ban. Shoot after a foul on the cheat.

It's not easy to get Curry to foul. Because Curry either loves to jump too much, or he doesn't jump with all his strength, there is always room for him, so in order to make Curry jump more willingly, according to Zhang Weiping's guidance, Xie Chen decided to play him.

Xie Chen dribbled with his left hand across the half court. It is not unusual to dribble with his left hand, what is strange is that Xie Chen faced Curry and dribbled behind his left hand, which made the scene exclaim at the moment, a very gorgeous action. Xie Chen rarely plays this kind of unnecessary fancy dribbling action, and his dribbling has always been simple and direct, relying on speed to win.

Then, after Xie Chen dribbled with his left hand, the ball went to his right hand, and he rushed forward with the ball, Curry followed, and Xie Chen immediately stopped and dribbled the ball under his crotch.

Curry also understands now, Xie Chen wants to play a good game with Curry this time, and even, Xie Chen may want to try to shake Curry down now!

"Wow." Chen Yihan screamed at the moment, girls are always attracted by this kind of gorgeous action, not to mention that the two people in the duel are both stars that Chen Yihan admires.

Gradually, people suddenly discovered a problem, that is, Xie Chen's actions are similar to what Curry usually plays, Curry and Irving's movements, Xie Chen can imitate well, and Curry's movements are still very recognizable, that kind of pace, that kind of rhythm, at first glance, it is Curry and not Owen or others.

"I see, he wants to score this goal the way I usually score!" Curry also instantly understood Xie Chen's intention when he was defending.

According to Curry's understanding, Xie Chen's next step will be to break through and then throw the board, if it were Curry, he would do it, so he thinks Xie Chen will do the same.

However, Xie Chen thought one more layer more than Curry.

Xie Chen just wants to make Curry think that he is imitating him, according to his characteristics, the next step is to break through the throw, and when he is ready to throw, it is the best time for Xie Chen to make Curry's foul!

Xie Chen really broke through Curry, the rhythm was very good, Curry followed Xie Chen closely, naturally he couldn't let Xie Chen really imitate successfully, Curry stepped on Xie Chen's rhythm, he was quite familiar with this offensive rhythm, because this was his own rhythm, and he already knew which step to shoot, so he jumped without scruples.

However, Xie Chen did not jump.

"What?" Curry was shocked after jumping, Xie Chen didn't make a move! He shouldn't have stopped at this time, Curry knows too well that stopping at this time doesn't make sense at all, it's easy to walk. Curry also suddenly understood that Xie Chen was trying to trick Curry into fouling!

Xie Chen easily deceived Curry's foul, and then, with his shooting posture deformed, he shot this goal.

Xie Chen returned Curry a 2+1!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh that Xie Chen was too powerful, Curry just beat Xie Chen a 2+1, and Xie Chen immediately returned it, and the score difference returned to 7 points.

Next, the Knicks led by less than ten points, until the end of the first quarter, the shooting rate of both teams in the first quarter was very high, and not only Curry and Xie Chen scored, basically everyone on the court scored, and the battle between the two teams was pleasing to watch.

However, Curry and Xie Chen didn't shoot much of their best three-point shots in the first quarter, Curry made 1 of 2 three-pointers in the first quarter, and Xie Chen didn't shoot a single shot at all, which disappointed fans who like to watch their three-point shoots.

However, in the second quarter, Curry's hand suddenly rebounded, and there was a very good opportunity, hitting two three-pointers in a row to tie the score directly, and the scene also boiled, and countless Warriors fans were also excited.

"From now on, the Knicks will never have a chance to lead the Warriors again!"

"Didn't Xie Chen brag that he could beat Curry with a three-pointer in the All-Star Game? Why don't you even dare to vote now? ”

Curry's two three-pointers were shot by Xie Chen's defense, and it must be uncomfortable for Xie Chen.

"It's time to expose Maddie's three-point ability......" Xie Chen said secretly, he can't wait to go to the All-Star Game to let Curry know his ability, after all, there are too many stars in the All-Star Game, it is impossible for the two to compete happily, today's game, Xie Chen let the whole league know in advance that he will not only know Curry-style three-pointers!

Xie Chen held the ball in both hands outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, and made a tentative step with his right foot, Curry was still very afraid of Xie Chen's breakthrough, he would never have thought that Xie Chen at this time wanted to shoot a three-pointer, and Xie Chen really did it.

Just shook in front of Curry's eyes, Xie Chen directly pulled up and shot three-pointed!

"What?" The whole audience was shocked, and after receiving the ball on the spot, they shot directly? This is not in line with his usual habit of shooting three-pointers!

Swish! also hit it simply, but it was completely different from Xie Chen's shooting posture in the past, Xie Chen only shot when he reached the highest point, and the arc was not so high, and the goal was not as clean and crisp as Curry's net, and it still touched the inside of the basket.

Curry also thinks it's incredible, Xie Chen once said that he would beat Curry in another way at the All-Star Game, isn't he bragging, what he said is true? Would he really shoot the ball in a different way?

"Is it a coincidence?" Curry was shocked, he had always disliked to see Xie Chen use the same shooting posture as him, but when he found that Xie Chen could hit with other shooting positions, his heart became more uncomfortable, and he felt less comfortable than seeing him imitate himself.

Now, the vast majority of fans are the same as Curry's guess and think it should be a coincidence, however, Xie Chen soon hit another Maddy-style three-point shot, leaving everyone speechless.

Maddie has been retired for more than two years, and it is not long to say that it is short, but from today onwards, he will appear again in the league! (To be continued......)
