Chapter 237: I'll Give You a Lore!
The Heat and Bulls seem destined to meet in the second round, provided they each have to tackle their opponents, of course.
In this game, Wade and Rohr Deng took turns to rest, Xie Chen once again became the team's sole leader, and the matchup with Rose was still interesting, and there were great similarities in the playing style of the two, especially when they were on the layup, the action made people feel like the same person, but Xie Chen shot more three-pointers in this game, and rarely broke through to the basket.
Every time Xie Chen shoots a three-pointer now, it is a new single-season three-point goal record in NBA history, so every three-point goal will cause cheers from the audience, Xie Chen likes this feeling very much, he knows that Curry will definitely shoot three-pointers to catch up with himself in the last few games, so Xie Chen must score at least 5 three-pointers in every game.
In this game, James Ennis started in place of Rohr Deng, which gave Xie Chen and Ennis the opportunity to partner, in today's game, Xie Chen and Ennis have many cooperation, especially when Xie Chen made a successful steal, the fastest run was Ennis, Xie Chen either passed to Ennis to shoot three points, or played an aerial relay with Ennis, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, so that Ross couldn't help but be surprised.
Seeing Ennis dunk in front of his eyes, Rose said secretly: "This James Ennis is really a bit of LeBron James's shadow, if he meets the Heat in the second round, this guy must also pay attention to it." ”
Since there is no pressure,; The whole Heat team played quite loosely, falling behind the Bulls from the beginning, although the Bulls were leading the score, but the shooting rate was not high, and in the end, the Heat lost to the Bulls at home, but Xie Chen once again scored a game-high 41 points, scoring more than 40 points in the seventh consecutive game!
In front of Xie Chen's eyes are Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant's nine consecutive 40+ games. I believe no one would have thought that at the end of the season, Xie Chen would have to catch up with a historical record.
However, since there are only three games left in the Heat regular season, even if Xie Chen cuts all three games 40+, he can only stay at ten games in a row. But it is also a great honor to surpass Jordan and Kobe Bryant in second place.
In addition, Xie Chen hit 6 three-pointers in this game, accumulating 281, continuing to refresh the historical record.
As soon as the Bulls were sent away, the Heat welcomed the Toronto Raptors, the Bulls' first opponent in the playoffs, at home. The hope for the playoffs is naturally good.
Kyle Lowry and Xie Chen talked excitedly: "Hey, man, we meet again, you know?" From the first time I met you, I felt that there was a strange fate between us! ”
Xie Chen was shocked when he heard Lowry's words, of course the relationship between the two was extraordinary, Xie Chen copied Lowry's breakthrough skills and used it for a whole season. It hasn't been completely replaced by Wei Shao's breakthrough skill yet, and I don't understand why Lowry said that. Did he find any clues?
For a moment, Xie Chen became very cautious. Lowry laughed and said, "Come to think of it, we are teammates at the All-Star, and you helped me in the Skills Challenge, and I think the two of us are very close together, that is." We'll meet again in the playoffs, don't you think? ”
Xie Chen laughed, it turned out that this is what Lowry meant, what a false alarm, Lowry meant that they would kill the Bulls in the first round. Then meet the Heat in Miami, the opponents of the Heat in the second round will be produced by the Bulls and the Raptors, for the Heat, for Xie Chen, of course, he prefers to play the Raptors, but Xie Chen doesn't think the Raptors can pass the Bulls.
Xie Chen smiled and cheered the other party up: "Kyle, you have to fight harder, I believe you can beat the bulls, and I look forward to meeting you in the second round!" ”
Lowry is confident: "Wait for me in Miami!" ”
Lowry's self-confidence has continued into the game, and he made three three-point shots in the opening game, which made Xie Chen startled, and Xie Chen's three points were not accurate, in addition to Lowry, DeRozan's table was also extremely good, if these two guys can still play like this in the playoffs, it is not impossible to beat the Bulls.
Xie Chen dribbled the ball and smiled faintly at Lowry: "Do you want to compete with D-Rose in advance?" ”
Lowry looked puzzled, and then saw Xie Chen suddenly break through, and the two were evenly matched, but Xie Chen's speed had already risen, and he broke through Lowry's defense and approached the basket!
DeRozan also pounced, but as early as Xie Chen expected, Xie Chen dodged in the air and then completed a very difficult folding layup, which caused another applause from the audience.
After Xie Chen's successful layup, Lowry and DeRozan, who were unsuccessful in defense, said: "This is the strength of Derrick Rose, are you really ready to challenge him and his team?" ”
It's very simple, Xie Chen's layup strength and Rose's layup strength are equal, just now the ball was scored like Rose, and if you can't prevent Xie Chen, you can't prevent Rose, but unfortunately, Lowry and DeRozan don't understand this truth, in their eyes, Xie Chen, who is in the limelight, is far more powerful than Balloon Star Rose, even if it's just in terms of layups, because Rose has been seriously injured, and Xie Chen hasn't.
Therefore, for Xie Chen's kind reminder, Lowry and DeRozan did not take it seriously.
Soon it was the final moment of the fourth quarter, the two sides were tied at 100, and with 10 seconds left in the game, the Raptors' possession of the ball was either tied or a stunner.
At this time, Xie Chen has scored 40+ again, scoring more than 40 in eight consecutive games, and is only one game away from tying Jordan and Kobe, it seems that Xie Chen's record is also aspiring, but the three-point shooting rate in this game is not high, only 4 were thrown, and a total of 285, which is a record that may be overtaken by Curry at any time.
In fact, the Heat played very poorly today, and many of the main players were not in shape and did not take it to heart, but in this way, they were able to fight with the Raptors until the last moment, because the Raptors made too many mistakes, which made Xie Chen very worried about the prospects of this team.
The Bulls' one Ross is enough for Xie Chen to worry about, plus Gasol, a veteran with many Finals experience, and the strength of Jimmy Butler, whose strength should not be underestimated, and even the hateful Noah, may affect Hassan's feelings, and lead the Heat to an unpredictable crisis, compared to the Bulls, the Raptors team is much safer.
"In order to make you more confident, I will give you a lore!" Xie Chen secretly decided to release this ball into the water!
The ball was controlled by Lowry, Xie Chen was a little away from Lowry to defend, as Lowry continued to move forward, Xie Chen kept retreating, and his eyes were looking at other defenders from time to time, Lowry took advantage of Xie Chen's uncertain eyes, and suddenly grabbed a three-point shot, boom, the ball!
There are two seconds left!
After the Heat asked for a timeout, DeRozan hugged Lowry even more: "Your shooting is so handsome, bro!" ”
The morale of the Raptors is greatly boosted, if the Heat can't complete the goal, this goal is a quasi-lore! And the target of the quasi-lore is still the first in the east! Even the first place in the east can be beaten, and you are still afraid of the bulls?
The Heat team's last attack, Xie Chen's three-point shot hit the iron again, and the Raptors narrowly defeated the Heat!
The whole Raptors team hugged each other in ecstasy, and the players walked towards Kyle Lowry in unison, and the small Lowry showed his majesty at this time, raising his right arm high and looking the strongest posture in the world.
Seeing that the Raptors have gained such a huge amount of confidence, Xie Chen hopes that they can bring this confidence to the playoffs, as long as they beat the Bulls, then their mission in the playoffs will be completed.
After losing to the Raptors, Xie Chen's personal system points accumulated to 900 points, and it was only one game away from the last replication permission to open the regular season.
After this game, Xie Chen and others stayed in the locker room to watch the game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves.
The Warriors' final games of the regular season were all at home, and the first two games of the playoffs certainly had home-court advantage, which saved them a lot of energy from running around.
The Warriors are already 13 points ahead of the Timberwolves, which in itself is also a game without suspense, even if the Timberwolves win the game by luck, it can only be said that the Warriors do not want to play, and it cannot be said that the Timberwolves are strong.
During the timeout, Curry asked the staff about the situation on the Heat side, and he didn't care if he won or lost, he cared about Xie Chen's three-point shots.
"What? He only made 4 threes in this game? That is to say, he has now accumulated 285 goals, and I am now 283, haha, only two short of tying this kid! Curry was overjoyed to find out, and now he had a full quarter to go, and hitting two three-pointers was a breeze for Curry.
Curry took two sips and eased his excitement: "You must not be nervous, you must not be in a hurry, take your time, and wait for the best opportunity to make a move!" ”
After playing the court again, Curry really didn't rush to shoot three points, but distributed the ball to his teammates, let his teammates play first, and finally distributed the ball to him, and then hit it with a dashing shot.
James Ennis, who was in the Heat locker room, saw it and said, "Thanks, this is Stephen Curry's 284th three-pointer, and it's about to tie you." ”
Xie Chen drank the water and smiled calmly: "Don't just want to catch up with me, he will definitely surpass me in this game." ”
Seeing that Curry played so patiently, Xie Chen knew that Curry was not affected by the emotion in this game, and under normal play, it was not a big problem to shoot three three-pointers in a single quarter.
Sure enough, after another two minutes, Curry made another three-pointer to tie Xie Chen's record.
The Warriors Oracle Arena was filled with cheers.
"Stephen, keep casting! One more goal and you're more than thanks! ”
"You're the best three-point shooter! This season's three-point record must still be yours! ”
Stephen Curry listened to the shouts of the audience and breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, this record has been held by himself for two years, and now it has been broken, and it should be himself who refreshes the record again, not someone else!
Curry dribbled to the top of the arc, a change of direction to the right, and an instant lightning shot! (To be continued......)
