Chapter 39: You Dare to Let Me Go to Three-Point Shots?
Wiggins was stunned, and Zach LaVine, who had a chance to win the dunk king, was also stunned, and the audience was shocked, except for Coach Spo and Noris Cole, two people who had witnessed Xie Chen's layup, everyone else was shocked on the spot.
In the American Airlines Arena, it was the first time for everyone to see Xie Chen complete a serious layup in the face of a defender, if it is said that the two plus one that hit Howard with a half-baked maze step is a balloon, which is not replicable, then this ball, no one doubts Xie Chen's strength.
His firmness and confidence after jumping on both feet, his skillful ability to dodge blocks in the air, and his low-handed layups in one go are all eye-catching.
"Oh, you're getting better and better, thanks!" Wade stretched out his arm and slapped Xie Chen, he was also very happy, if he watched the video replay, it was not difficult for him to guess that the ball just now was somewhat similar to Rose.
Xie Chen smiled, this only used half of Rose's skills, which surprised everyone so much, if the fusion degree reached 100%, it was really like Rose's all kinds of unsolvable layups in the forbidden area, wouldn't he be worshipped?
As soon as he thought of this, Xie Chen couldn't wait for that day to come.
"11 points! Xie Chen scored two points as soon as he came on the court in the fourth quarter, only 8 points away from the bet with Barkley, and Xie Chen had every chance to score 19 points! Yu Jia said excitedly.
On the contrary, Zhang Weiping became cautious at this time: "But it's hard to say, after all, judging from the first three quarters, Xie Chen's offensive state and rhythm desire today are not good, he just scored a layup, but layups are not Xie Chen's strong point, if he can't blossom outside the three-point line, I'm not optimistic that he can continue to score again." ”
Zhang Weiping's opinion is the same as that of most fans, because everyone is used to the outside shooter who shoots three-pointers, and they all think that Xie Chen has just made a layup as a last resort, and they don't think that he will continue to make layups next.
The Timberwolves' counter-offensive momentum continued, with Wiggins holding the ball 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right side, and Pekovic and Thaddeus Young stepped forward to cover at the same time, and it looked very congested for a while.
Pekovic suddenly cut inside, while Thaddeus Young was dismantled outside, Wiggins took the opportunity to dribble to the left, and for a while the Heat's defenders were a little disrupted, and the defensive center of gravity was attracted by Pekovic and Thaddeus Young, and they followed, and after Wiggins broke through to the left, he hit a mid-range shot with little defensive pressure.
This tactic, Wiggins is a crucial point, whether to choose to shoot himself or distribute the ball to the center who cuts inside or Yang outside, it depends on the Heat's defensive situation, for the Heat, the opponent will have a chance to play a position, which is really difficult to defend.
Wiggins scored two more points, and smiled proudly at Xie Chen with color, after Xie Chen held the ball, without saying a word, he broke through again and Wiggins, who didn't even have a good defensive posture, and after a straight breakthrough, he easily played a layup without the opposing defenders realizing it.
"Another layup!"
"So fast!"
Everyone was shocked again, and the Timberwolves coach yelled on the sidelines: "What are you guys doing!" ”
Apparently unhappy with the Timberwolves' careless defense.
"It's 13 points, it's a layup again, and it's only two three-pointers away from the score Barkley bet, Director Zhang, do you still think Xie Chen can't score 19 points?" Yu Jia asked with a smile.
Zhang Weiping was also a little unexpected at this time, and smiled awkwardly: "This is really surprising, a pitcher who is famous for three-point points, today he didn't shoot a three-point shot, and scored two layups in a row, it can be seen that as soon as Xie Chen came up in the fourth quarter, his offensive desire returned, as long as he really wanted to score, there was still a long time before the fourth quarter, 19 points is absolutely no problem, what makes people wonder is whether he scored three points or layups." ”
"I'm sure Wiggins has the same questions as you at the moment, let's get back to the game, the Timberwolves' comeback continues, and the suspense of this game is still ...... Mistake! Wiggins misses the pass! ”
I saw that on the field, after Wiggins controlled the ball, in the face of Luo Erdeng's rushing defense, he wanted to pass the ball out first, but he didn't expect this pass to pass directly on Xie Chen's back!
Wiggins distracted? No one could believe this fact.
In fact, the young rookie was indeed distracted, because Xie Chen scored 4 points in a row, and he used a breakthrough layup, which was only one step away from 19 points, so Wiggins was under a lot of pressure, and he had to suppress Xie Chen's score below 19 points, so that Xie Chen would always be ridiculed by Barkley, but the question is, now defending Xie Chen, is it to defend three points, or to prevent breakthroughs?
For the opponents of the top players, this is by no means a problem that can be taken into account, if you prevent a breakthrough, you will definitely give the opponent a chance to shoot three-pointers, and vice versa.
In the finals between the Spurs and the Heat, Popovich asked the defenders to let James go one step more! It was to completely stifle James into the restricted area, and then James beat Popovich with a three-pointer.
Wiggins is well aware of this, so he will worry about whether to prevent penetration or anti-shooting, which also directly leads to passing errors.
After the ball smashed on Xie Chen, Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, there was a basketball, which was called a joy, picked up the basketball and quickly killed it under the basket.
"You don't want to succeed!" After Xie Chen rushed into the basket, Wiggins was the first to rush out to stop Xie Chen, and the two were almost neck-to-neck, but Xie Chen paused slightly at the three-point line, although Wiggins also cared about Xie Chen's three-point shot, but guessed that Xie Chen should be a feint, and his real purpose was to make a layup!
Sure enough, Xie Chen took a slight pause, started the second time, and directly entered the forbidden area!
"I guessed it would be like this, you don't want to go to the basket, I'm going to kill you!" Wiggins is tall and has long arms, and he has already rushed to the basket first, as long as Xie Chen dares to jump head-on to the basket, Wiggins will definitely complete a shocking block!
The home fans are also excited and worried, excited that in this competition for the best rookie, the two best rookies finally staged a real one-on-one, worried that Xie Chen will not be covered!
After all, Xie Chen's jumping ability is average, and Wiggins is ten centimeters taller than Xie Chen, and his bounce is so powerful.
I saw Xie Chen facing Wiggins, who was quickly retreating, and suddenly stepped over the other party with a jump!
"Nice jump!"
Wiggins was also shocked, this kid really has enough means to go to the basket, but at this time, he didn't completely get rid of Wiggins, after jumping, the height of jumping to the basket again is often limited, Xie Chen's bounce itself is average, and Wiggins still has a chance to cover Xie Chen.
I saw that after Xie Chen jumped, the ball was transferred from his right hand to his left hand, and his movements were extremely chic, his left arm stretched out to the basket with a long stretch, rising with his body, and Wiggins' long arm also stretched out, ready to cover Xie Chen.
However, Wiggins, who had already lost his position and couldn't jump, no matter how tall his arms were, he couldn't cover Xie Chen, who was still rising.
Xie Chen almost ignored Wiggins and hit an easy layup.
"Good shot!"
"Oh my God! Windy City Rose Possession! ”
Some fans have recognized that Xie Chen's jumping layup just now is exactly the same as Rose's action, everyone knows the story of Xie Chen and Rose, and it is inevitable that there will be questions in their hearts, could it be that Xie Chen went to Chicago to steal the teacher? If you injure your master after you finish your studies, won't the league just make you a Ross-style layup?
Hahaha, this rookie is really more and more lovable the more you look at it!
"That's it, rookie boy! We're looking at your non-stop offense! Offensive! "The fans are in high spirits, and at this moment, they have been waiting for four full quarters! What they are looking at is Xie Chenwei's less offensive ability, and no one is interested in watching Xie Chen's ordinary passing assists.
"Damn! 15 minutes! Wiggins threw a punch into the air in annoyance, blaming himself for hesitation, giving Xie Chen a chance to break fast for no reason, and this ball also made Wiggins completely understand that Xie Chen was playing a breakthrough layup today, and at this time, he also decided to defend Xie Chen's breakthrough!
In the next round, after Xie Chen received the ball outside the three-point line, Wiggins was one step closer to him.
Xie Chen was taken aback and asked, "You dare to let me go for a three-point shot?" ”
Wiggins said disdainfully: "Your three-point shot, just interfere with you a little is enough!" I know you want to use our Timberwolves as a breakout layup training team today, and you don't want to go in again! ”
In the face of Wiggins' chattering words, Xie Chen asked again: "You dare to let me go for a three-point shot?" ”
Wiggins was impatient: "What about putting you on a three-pointer!" ”
Xie Chen jumped and shot on the spot, and Wiggins's compensatory shot interference had no effect on Xie Chen, and the ball went into the net.
After the ball was scored, Xie Chen smiled contemptuously again: "You dare to let me go for three points!" ”
