Chapter 252: The Realm of Fake Falls!
The American Airlines Arena was in chaos, and everyone's eyes were on Xie Chen, who was lying on the floor and didn't know if the injury was serious.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, until ten seconds, Xie Chen was lying on the floor and still didn't move!
"Oh, oops! My worst fears have happened! He's hurt! Xie was hurt by David West's ferocious defense! ”
"Oh my God, what a fierce defense, he actually knocked Xie directly to the ground, how hard did he get hit, and the director zhì still can't get up? I believe that he must be very tormented at this moment. ”
The scene of the body collision between the electric light and flint just now startled everyone, Xie Chen rushed towards George Hill at a very fast speed, but he didn't expect David West, who was in the way, to hit him hard with his shoulder, after Xie Chen was hit, he fell to the ground immediately, very crisply, and it can be seen how much Xie Chen was hit, at least visually, it gives people a feeling of this.
David West received a first-degree malicious foul, but he had an innocent expression on his face, and he still tried to explain to the referee, yes, maybe it was a foul, but how could it rise to the level of a malicious foul?
To be honest, even David West himself didn't figure out what happened just now, and he didn't use all his strength to hit Xie Chen, with Xie Chen's physical confrontation ability, even if he was defeated, he wouldn't fall to the ground like a monkey hitting a tree, even if he fell to the ground, what does it mean to fall to the ground? Did you have a concussion?
The members of the Heat hurriedly stepped forward, patted Xie Chen's back with their hands and asked him about his situation, and they didn't dare to help Xie Chen up rashly.
Pacers coach Frank looked at the situation on the court suspiciously, thinking that if Xie Chen was really injured, he would miss the rest of the series. Then maybe they can really create the zào Black Eight Miracle!
And Coach Spo is simply worried, without Xie Chen, even if he can pass the Pacers, what then? How do you fight a bull?
Hassan Whiteside even rushed straight to David West in a fit of rage, if Wade hadn't pulled him back, maybe the two would have done it all.
Just when the team doctor was about to arrive. Xie Chen, who was lying on the floor, finally moved, he slowly raised his head, eased up in place for a moment, and then slowly stood up with the help of his teammates, and then, he raised his right arm and stretched out a 1 gesture, and the audience applauded!
"Hahaha! He's on his feet again! Attaboy! Thank! ”
It's hard to describe how excited the fans are at the moment. In just a dozen seconds, the hearts of the fans were also in the sky and on the ground for a while, and they were all excited to see their team's heroes standing up unharmed.
"Damn, this guy must have been pretending just now." David West looked at Xie Chen with an unhappy face, Xie Chen now felt as if he had been seriously injured but insisted on fighting, in fact, only David West himself knew that he didn't use all his strength just now. Xie Chen's performance is definitely exaggerated.
Yes, this is Xie Chen's premeditated fake fall performance! At the time of realizing that David West had hit himself. Xie Chen started to perform, just like Jessica Alba said, fake a fall in the way of a real fall, let him hit himself first, and react the moment he hits, don't care how much force you use. Anyway, I just fell to the ground, and I couldn't get up if I fell.
Xie Chen's performance was very well done, both his body movements and facial expressions were just right, there was no suspicion of fake falls, and the referee gave David West a first-degree malicious foul. It's a success.
According to the regulations, two free throws were made for malicious fouls, and Xie Chen got two free throws. And if David West has another first-degree malicious foul, he will be ejected.
After hitting both free throws, Xie Chen had already scored 22 points, he walked in front of David West, and said with a smile: "If there is another malicious foul, you will be ejected from the game, see if you dare to touch me again!" ”
David West looked angry: "You were pretending just now, right?" With your body against it, you can't be knocked down so lightly. ”
At this moment, Paul George on the side shouted at David West, "David, what are you doing!" Your counterpoint is empty! ”
David West then hurried to the defense.
Just when David West had to admit that he was going to be more cautious in his next defense, something he didn't expect happened.
Is this Xie Chen and David West competing for a rebound together, or the Pacers' defensive rebound, of course the Pacers have to win this rebound, but Xie Chen didn't go back to defense early, he had to compete with David West, David West already occupied a good position, coupled with the advantage of height and weight, the probability of grabbing the rebound is almost 100%, unless Xie Chen takes a foul action.
Then, Xie Chen squeezed to David West's side, of course David West didn't want him to occupy his territory, so he used his arm to support the other party to prevent Xie Chen from coming, David West didn't have any active attack and pushing action and will, because he didn't have to do this, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to pick up David West's hand and hit him!
Because David West's hand had just reached out, and the two were entangled together, so close in such a short time, it was difficult for the referee to tell whether David West took the initiative to push Xie Chen, or Xie Chen pulled David West's hand to push himself, so the referee blew the whistle and blew David West to grab the rebound and push people for a foul.
David West, who had just grabbed the rebound, was simply angry, obviously it was Xie Chen who hit himself and counted the foul on his head! This is the second time that this section has been punished by such unfairness!
If it weren't for Paul George to calm David West's mood for the first time, West would have to reason with the referee and ask why the other party was so protective of Xie Chen!
The knights in the Boston Hotel were also stunned.
Owen blinked, looked around at everyone and asked, "Just now...... Did Xie take the initiative to hit himself with David West's arm? My eyes are right? ”
At this time, the actor Vallejo, who couldn't play due to injury, smiled: "Hehe, I didn't expect Xie to be a fake wrestling master, I think the last ball is estimated to have exaggerated elements in it, David West is already very careful, and he doesn't dare to make any more moves against Xie." However, if he didn't do it, Xie forced him to do it, which is really an interesting guy. ”
David West and the rest of the Pacers players were simply speechless, how could this suddenly happen? West had always thought that Xie Chen would be afraid of physical contact with him, but he didn't expect that he was not only not afraid now. also took the initiative to seek, but when he couldn't find it, he even took his arm and hit him...... How can there be such a bully?
David West was already his third foul and had to be substituted. And once David West is gone, it will be a kind of liberation for Xie Chen, but now he no longer intends to score by himself, but gives this opportunity to Luo Erdeng who is opposite Paul George again and again.
Paul George has just returned from a serious injury and has not fully adapted to the game, either physically or mentally. What's more, in the playoffs in a fierce tournament, in the case that Paul George has not recovered to his best condition, it is definitely not a risk to use Rohr Deng to beat Paul George, and it is a good move.
Luo Er Deng's singles ability is not outstanding, but he has a strong body, he can slowly consume and torture George's body and confidence, and Luo Er Deng's back singles still have a good success rate.
Before the game, Rohrdeng knew he was entrusted with a big responsibility. So after receiving the pass, he did not hesitate to turn on the mode of singles George, and squeezed Paul George into it little by little with his strong body. Others don't cover it, just look at the two of them one-on-one, and the time consumed by Luo Erdeng is not short every time, so to speak, a whole attack, it depends on the success rate of Luo Erdeng. And Rolden sometimes hits and sometimes doesn't, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is to see Paul George quickly start to get tired.
On one occasion when Rohr Deng back-punched Paul George. Luo Er Deng held the ball and used his body to push Paul George, George actually fell down, and the referee did not blow the penalty, because George himself accidentally fell, not how big Luo Er Deng's action was, Luo Er Deng was stunned for a moment and took the opportunity to step back and shoot a jumper.
Because George consumed a huge amount of body on the defense of Luo Er Deng, who was heavier than him, which also affected Paul George's offense, the next ball-holding attack hit rate was very low, and under Luo Er Deng's strict defense, it was difficult to have too good opportunities to catch the ball and shoot in the open position, and as the game deepened, even if Paul George had such a chance in the second half, the shooting rate was very worrying.
As the starter on the court and the core and even spiritual pillar of the Pacers, most of the ball has to go through the hands of Paul George, George has a problem, putting the Pacers in a very difficult situation, and on the other hand, Xie Chen's performance as the regular season scoring champion still has no one to stop.
In the second game of the playoffs, the Heat finally showed the domineering demeanor of the first in the East, leading the opponent by nearly 20 points at halftime, Xie Chen alone scored 25 points, looking at this momentum, it was another 3, 40+ performance, Russell Westbrook failed to enter the playoffs, and the "most aggressive" point guard in the playoffs was only Xie Chen, of course, Irving and Rose were also very good, but in the eyes of people, it seemed that they were already a grade worse than Wei Shao and Xie Chen.
Frank would never have imagined that this would be a game that was completely suppressed at the beginning, the Pacers couldn't play this kind of ball, no weak team could play against a strong team, they had to stay ahead at all times to have enough strength to win, and once the score reached more than double digits, it was a great test of confidence for the players.
And the director zhì This situation happened to Xie Chen, Xie Chen's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness suddenly showed a different from the previous game, and it was useless for Frank to call a few timeouts, but the bad thing is that Xie Chen also deliberately created the opportunity for Luo Er Deng to single Paul George, in fact, Luo Er Deng is also a factor that the Heat can lead.
The success rate of Luo Er Deng against Paul George is half open, but when Luo Er Deng misses the shot, the Heat can always grab the rebound in the front court, and Luo Er Deng's single time with the ball is very long, which will attract defensive attention for a long time, and when the offensive time is near, Xie Chen will often suddenly come out, once Luo Er Deng passes the ball, the opponent will lightly convert the score, or assist his teammates again.
Hassan Whiteside still doesn't have much to show in this game, and being able to control Hibbert may be the biggest task for him, but Luo Erdeng, Xie Chen, and Wade are all in good shape, and the Pacers' inability to limit the offense of these three people is a big problem.
Roy Hibbert is in a slump again, he looks sullen in the locker room, I don't know if he is going to be scolded as a pig's head again, Hibbert was scolded in the second half of last season and the playoffs for not being human, just like this one, he can't get the ball at all, how can a big center who can't get the ball have too much achievement?
Hibbert, although a little taller than Hassan, did not show the slightest dominance, but was defended hard by the tough Hassan, and more often than not, he was seen in the low post and was pushed to the outside to receive the ball.
And George Hill, who could indeed be used as a wonder soldier for the Pacers, pretended to be dead for almost the entire season last season, and once the team needs him to share more responsibilities, he will wake up, the first ten games of the 12-13 season, Granger reimbursed, Paul George and Hibbert, who were driven out of the shelves, were at a loss, Hill and David West provoked the beams, and Hill played 18+8 in the first month, including the December whistle whistle The Lakers team did not collapse at the beginning of the season, and then George's awakening.
Judging from the table of the first game, the much-anticipated George Hill is back, and when the team needs him, he has to take responsibility again, but this time, he was completely suppressed by Xie Chen, whether it was scoring or assisting, he was stared at by Xie Chen, the most infuriating thing is that in the case of defending Hill so hard, Xie Chen did not delay the offensive efficiency at all, which had to amaze Frank, and he could only hope for the second half, maybe Xie Chen's body would be overdrawn in the second half, but even so, What's the use? By then, the score would no longer be able to recover.
Therefore, the third quarter is an extremely critical quarter for the Pacers, and once they can't catch up with the score in the third quarter, it basically means that there is no suspense in this game.
But preventing Xie Chen from scoring is still a headache for the entire Pacers. The most headache for Frank is that Xie Chen can't prevent it when he is in good condition and has a good hand, it is impossible for people not to make mistakes, Xie Chen loves to break through so much, and the Pacers are served by more than one defender, it is impossible to break through the encirclement every time, but Xie Chen's great thing is that even if he makes mistakes, he can still convert them into points.
This time, Xie Chen broke through the defense and was about to go to the basket, because the defender forced Xie Chen too tightly, when Xie Chen was about to go to the basket, the basketball was already out of his hand! (To be continued......) R1292
