No one expected that a 40-year-old veteran would play a key role in this game! When the Cavaliers were abusing the opponent, Ray Allen hit four key three-pointers, not only resisting the opponent's offense, but also anti-guest, putting the Cavaliers in trouble!

Although the all-time leading scorer is long gone, it seems that he still wants to prove something in this field......

Ray Allen was out of breath, and four three-pointers in this quarter seemed to drain all his physical strength, his body was already emaciated, and he looked even weaker at this moment, but his body seemed to have a light shining on him, making him so different from others.

After leaving Miami, he once thought about retiring, even if he fought for another year, he never thought of coming to the New York Knicks to play, it was Xie Chen who made him appear here, although the Knicks are a weak team in the league, but with Xie Chen, Ray Allen actually returned to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the past two years, Ray Allen has entered his forties from his thirties to his forties, which is no longer the age of an athlete, Luke Wharton, the assistant coach of the Warriors, who is five years younger than him, has already started coaching, of course he can choose to do something else, but he still likes to be a player, so every day Ray Allen insists on training, although in the projection of three-point shots, he is not as crazy as Stephen Curry.

God may not reward every hard work, but as long as the opportunity comes, those who deserve it will naturally get it.

During this time, the Cavaliers pinched Xie Chen and Anthony to score points, and someone had to stand up to save the team, and Ray Allen did it, and it was as good as Xie Chen.

Xie Chen thanked Lei Allen very much for everything he had done, and said to him: "Thank you." ”

Without Ray Allen's four three-pointers, this game would have been a tough one. But for now, they can dominate the game.

Lei Allen smiled and replied, "Didn't you come to me to do this?" You made good on your promise and got the team to the playoffs and to the Eastern Conference Finals. I'm going to help the team reach the finals and win the championship, right? ”

At this moment, Ray Allen is like a young player in his twenties, particularly energetic and combative, and there is a treasure in the family, not to mention that the Knicks have several "treasures", with the Rockets being eliminated early, the Knicks entered the finals, Odom's wife Kardashian has been inseparable from Odom recently, although Odom's time on the court is numbered.

James is in a very unhappy mood right now, in fact, every time Ray Allen scores a goal, James feels uncomfortable. Now that Ray Allen has scored four three-pointers in a row and helped the team overtake the score, it is conceivable how sad James will become.

James has always valued Ray Allen, not only for ability, but he also believes that Ray Allen is his lucky star.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Ray Allen's life-saving three-point shot in the Heat, James would only have one ring now!

Of course others also contributed, but only that ball. It is not among James who should be helped. He also never imagined that after he missed that three-pointer at 45 degrees on the left wing. He felt that the championship was in vain, and it was Ray Allen who pulled James out of a desperate situation.

"He originally belonged to me, and Xie snatched him!" James was a little angry.

But that's what the battlefield is, if you don't take it all at once, wait until your opponent has caught his breath and still has the upper hand. Don't try to scare people anymore.

The Cavaliers' offense is still fierce, but the Knicks are completely unafraid, whether it's Anthony or Porzingis, whether it's Williams or Xie Chenlei Allen, they are all scoring points that you can't easily contain.

Plus. The Cavaliers have lost a big player like Tristan Thompson, and the rebounding advantage has been completely lost, of course, even if they lose Thompson, the Cavaliers' roster depth is still stronger than the Knicks, but the playoffs don't have much roster depth, and Xie Chen, Anthony Williams, etc., can always suppress opponents on the court.

In the end, the Knicks easily defeated the Cavaliers at home to tie the score at 2-2!

"Win! Finally won! We are still very promising! "Knicks fans are also happy, they don't know what's going to happen next, at least for now.

At the post-game press conference, Lei Allen, who scored 22 points, appeared with Xie Chen for the first time in the scene of media reporters.

Ray Allen has long been accustomed to seeing such scenes when he was at Celtic, but after many years, in the face of so much media attention, Ray Allen is still a little excited.

After the interview at the press conference, when Lei Allen and Xie Chen walked back to the locker room, they couldn't help but say to Xie Chen: "Xie, I haven't been so excited for a long time, this feels great." Thank you for making a forty-year-old veteran feel like that. ”

Xie Chen grabbed Ray Allen's shoulders and said with a smile: "It's me who should thank you, it's not you, this game won't be won so easily, you know the importance of this game, and you should be able to see that LeBron especially wants to win this game, and then beat us quickly, we didn't let him succeed, haha." ”

Ray Allen replied: "Anyway, you brought me to New York, and then led the team to the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, I think Kobe Bryant must be very envious of me, envy that I can still play, I can play in the playoffs, and even hit the championship!" ”

Xie Chen smiled and said to Lei Allen: "Then take another championship ring to make him envy you even more!" ”

Before the Eastern Conference Finals began, many people thought that the Cavaliers would have an absolute advantage and would end the series in five or six games, but now it seems that it is difficult, and the Knicks are far more tenacious than they thought.

After the game, Pat Riley made a rare phone call to Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson was still in a happy mood after the team drew 2:2 with the Cavaliers, in fact, he was already very satisfied with the team to get to this point, but he still didn't praise them, and wanted to force them to go further, and receiving a call from Pat Riley was definitely a surprise.

"I didn't even know you had my phone number!" Phil Jackson quipped.

Pat Riley wasn't as funny as Phil Jackson, but he was still a little serious: "A year ago, when I thanked you, I couldn't have imagined it. You're going to get to where you are today. I've been keeping an eye on your moves, and after getting thanks, you signed Derrick Williams, a guy who's been in the league for five years and is averaging less than 10 points per game, and there's a big problem, and I'm not very optimistic. And then you drafted Porzingis in the draft, and this guy has something I admire, he's 7'3" tall, and the scary thing is that he has that height and a three-point shot, he can get to the basket from the three-point line, he can also protect the basket, fight for rebounds, blocks, he's a guy with endless possibilities, but even I didn't think Porzingis has a lot of talent that I didn't expect. While I think this rookie is Downs, Porzingis' feel for the game is unique. ”

"Also, veterans such as Ray Allen, Odom, and Ci Shiping, you are all under your umbrella, at that time I really didn't think that these guys could make it to the Eastern Conference Finals together, but the game is played today, I have to admit your strength, these guys are very scary together. Not just knights, even warriors. Your team has a chance to win too. The outside world has underestimated you! ”

Phil Jackson listened quietly to Riley for a long time before he replied, "You don't know how excited I was to hear these words from your mouth, in Game 6 of the series. Do you want to come to New York to watch the game? ”

Pat Riley was slightly surprised: "Scene 6...... Are you so confident? ”

Phil smiled and replied, "It should be about the same." ”

……

After two games in New York, according to the rules of the playoffs, Xie Chen and they had to pack their bags and prepare to rush to Cleveland to fight the most critical battle of Tianwang Mountain.

It's only been a few days since they got together, and they are going to separate again, Xie Chen is very reluctant to his wife Katie. Katie was also worried about Xie Chen, but she couldn't follow Xie Chen to Cleveland.

Xie Chen's playoff journey this season is completely different from last season, there are differences in games, as well as differences in mood and emotional life.

On the plane, Xie Chen prayed that this would be his last visit to Cleveland this season.

The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs also started today, the Spurs deserve to be the team that set a regular season team record, they have the core of the old generation of players, and they have a new generation of leaders Leonard and Aldridge, just a year ago, Leonard was only the team's four leaders, and their former three attackers were withdrawn into three masters, four leaders and eight leaders, but no one expected them to adapt to their new positions so quickly, which makes people have to praise Popovich's strength.

The Warriors and Spurs also tied 2-2.

Cleveland, Quick Loan Arena.

Returning to this familiar place again, Xie Chen can't remember how many times he has come here to play, the Quick Loan Arena is definitely the one that Xie Chen has played the most, he played three games here in the playoffs last season, and three more times in the playoffs this year, I don't know if there will be a fourth.

Therefore, Xie Chen is familiar with this arena, and the people in this stadium are also familiar with Xie Chen's old opponent, and boos are indispensable, but most people can look at this opponent rationally, and even wonder if Xie Chen and James have the possibility of combining......

It's not impossible, after all, the Golden State Warriors were born out of nowhere, winning 73 wins, and Curry, Thompson, and Green are all very young, maybe the league will be their world in the next few years, Xie Chen and James alone will not necessarily win, and the Warriors are their common enemy.

Tristan Thompson returned in this game, and when he played, he won the cheers of many people at the scene, although he did a very bad thing to Xie Chen, but in the eyes of their Cavaliers fans, Thompson was not only not bad, but also a hero.

In fact, if it weren't for Xie Chen's ability to protect his body and not be seriously injured, Tristan Thompson would not have been banned for one game, because considering that Xie Chen sat up on the spot and it was not a big deal, they thought that Thompson's actions towards Xie Chen were not too heavy. Only Thompson himself knows how hard he was exerting at the time.

Therefore, when Tristan Thompson was training before the game, he cautiously peeked at Xie Chen opposite from time to time, Xie Chen was also doing warm-up shooting training at this time, and he could basically hit one three-point after another.

"It's terrible, my malicious foul didn't affect him at all, this is Stephen Curry, I guess that guy won't be included in the list now." Tristan Thompson also secretly admired Xie Chen's tenacity, he now saw that Xie Chen didn't treat Xie Chen as a human at all, but felt that Xie Chen was a robot, and his whole body was full of extremely hard machine parts, even if it was broken, he could replace it with a new one at any time and continue to use it.

"What's wrong, man?" Seeing that Tristan Thompson was a little absent-minded, James stepped forward and asked.

Tristan Thompson smiled back and said, "Nothing, boss. ”

Tonight is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, a key battle that will determine the trend of the series, James didn't want Tristan Thompson to have any mental ties, and asked, "Have you gone to say hello to Xie?" ”

Thompson shook his head, how could he have that courage, until now Thompson was still weak in the face of Xie Chen, James patted Thompson's shoulder and said, "Follow me." ”

James led Thompson to the Knicks' half and shouted to Xie Chen from afar: "Hey, thanks! ”

When Xie Chen saw James coming with Thompson, he had already guessed what they were going to do.

When Thompson saw Xie Chen, he took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, Xie, my actions in the last game were too much, I sincerely apologize to you, I hope you can accept it, I won't treat you like that again in this game." ”

As an opponent in the playoffs, generally speaking, even if the nose is blue and the face is swollen, no party is willing to bow his head and apologize, it seems that Thompson is really aware of the consequences of offending Xie Chen, Xie Chen fans are all over the world, he is currently the most popular athlete, especially in Asia, and Thompson was also warned by Adam Xiaohua by phone, Xie Chen is the person to be praised in the future of the NBA, is the signature of the NBA, Adam Xiaohua also hopes to use Xie Chen to push the NBA to another height, After all, the NBA is not a particularly popular sport in Europe or even in the United States.

So in this big situation, you can imagine how serious the consequences of offending Xie Chen are.

Xie Chen didn't want the smell of gunpowder to last forever, but he still smiled and said, "Really? But I'm going to ride you like I did last time. (To be continued.) )
