Chapter 527: The King Returns!
The maverick Xie Chen continues to subvert the three views of the whole league, when he dozes off during the game, Kobe Bryant lives like this, but he has never said so blatantly that he wants to sleep for a while, and the opponents of the Heat also feel helpless.
In fact, sleep has always been a big problem for NBA players, if you ask NBA players what their biggest wish is in addition to championships, then eighty percent of them will tell you that he wants to sleep. In this money-laden alliance, sleeping has become a "luxury" for these rich people.
At halftime, the Knicks ended the first half with a two-point lead, and the battle continued, with all eyes on the second half.
And at halftime, many people guessed that Xie Chen might have a good rest in the locker room.
The NBA's halftime is 15 minutes, which is quite a break, but fortunately the NBA is a for-profit organization that needs to give more time for TV broadcasters to broadcast commercials.
When he arrived at the locker room, Xie Chen sat on a chair and leaned in front of his wardrobe to close his eyes and rest, because the visiting team's locker room was very small, so Xie Chen didn't want to occupy much of a position, just sit and sleep like this, others may have been infected by Xie Chen, as soon as Xie Chen was sleeping, everyone wanted to sleep, after all, they were all professional athletes, and everyone might have a slightly different playing time, but everyone got up and slept one by one, and did the same training, even if they didn't go on the bench for a minute, they were also qualified to shout tired and sleepy.
The visiting team's locker room was exceptionally clean, and after a while, Heat President Pat Riley walked in, said hello to Fisher, and then stepped forward and patted Xie Chen's leg, and Xie Chen woke up. Seeing Riley say to him, "Do you want me to prepare a room for you to sleep in for a while?" ”
Xie Chen shook his head and said, "No need, that's fine." ”
Pat Riley is an iron-clad coach, but he also cares a lot about the players' bodies, and NBA players do need more sleep, but what can be done? That's how the current Union is, if it was the 60s, 70s. The players may be a little more relaxed, not as tired as they are now, and they may have to hate the basketball emperor Chamberlain, because the shooting training that swept the league was started because of Chamberlain.
At halftime, O'Neal and Smith, who were in the live broadcast room, also talked about this issue.
O'Neal said: "LeBron James and Xie are the stars that I really liked since I left the league, they both have their own ideas and are not swayed, I like that, it's very cool, you can't be too disciplined when you're a superstar. To be honest, I tried to sleep countless times when I was playing, but it didn't work, Xie didn't do anything wrong, he didn't play on the court, whether he slept off the court or what he did didn't make any difference to the team. ”
Kenny Smith also laughed: "That's right, but sleep is really a test for modern NBA players, and as the league becomes more and more commercial and globalized. With more time for interviews and more time to train, the guys will have less time to rest. I can understand Xie's behavior very well. ”
Both of them have played in the NBA and become professional players, so they have a deep feeling for Xie Chen's experience, O'Neal continued: "Take today's game as an example, the end of the game must be at least ten o'clock in the evening, plus they also have to shower, change clothes, and give interviews. Attend the post-game press conference, after doing this, these guys must be hungry, right? Next up is some late-night snack, which goes without saying if you're the prince of nightclubs. Even if you discipline yourself, you won't be able to go to bed until at least 2 a.m., and that's the Miami Heat players at home, who may have to get back to their hotel beds at 3 a.m., and the team will have practice the next morning, and they will only get five hours of sleep a day. ”
"And they're missing out on the best time of day, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m." Kenny Smith added.
O'Neal said: "That's right, poor sleep can significantly slow down a person's ability to react, maybe just 0.1 seconds, people can miss a defense, know why I'm not the all-time block king?" It's because I don't get enough rest, otherwise, every time those guys go to the basket in front of me, I'll knock them to the ground! ”
Smith laughed and said, "Hahaha, anything can hinder you from achieving greatness." ”
The league is a business field, and it is certain that the league will certainly not shorten the 82-game regular season, because more games means more advertising, TV rights, and ticket revenue, so the problem of sleep can only be solved by the players themselves.
The halftime break ended quickly, and after this 15-minute break, Xie Chen's whole person was also refreshed, and he could already play at any time.
The game entered the second half, James also came back to watch the game, and saw that Xie Chen finally stopped sitting on the bench with his eyes closed, and couldn't help laughing: "Xie finally doesn't sleep anymore, in fact, on the issue of rest, I also once looked for Adam Xiaohua, hoping that he could extend the All-Star Weekend, but unfortunately my suggestion is useless." ”
Owen smiled: "Maybe you should go to him with Xie, maybe he will try to think about it." ”
After the game restarted, the Knicks' two-point lead was instantly wiped out by Gerard Green's breakthrough layup, and then, as Winslow also kept attacking the Knicks' basket, relying on this group of benches, the Heat became the leading side.
Some people say that Xie Chen used the crazy first quarter to finally take the lead, it didn't work at all, and he tired himself half to death, in fact, Xie Chen was already very satisfied, and fortunately he was ahead by more than 10 points at that time, otherwise, the score would not be so close now, Xie Chen has the ability now, even if he is behind, it is not a big deal.
The coach first sent Anthony on the court and asked Xie Chen to rest for a while, Anthony's performance was already good, and he scored 4 points in a row as soon as he got on the court, but the Knicks still couldn't stop the Heat's scoring momentum, and the point difference did not close.
Seeing that the team was already 8 points behind, and Xie Chen had rested enough, Fisher patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you." ”
Xie Chen nodded and returned to the game!
"Xie is back on the field!"
Every time Xie Chen returns to the American Airlines Arena, it attracts a lot of attention from fans, whether as a Heat player or as a player from another team, because Xie Chen's appearance on the court means a change in the game. He is the one who has that ability.
Many netizens saw Xie Chen's re-appearance, and they also posted at this time: "Xie Chen is so arrogant that he actually sleeps on the field, see how well he can play!" ”
The main forces of the Heat have all returned to their positions, Joe Johnson, Wade, and Rohr Deng have all put themselves into the best condition again, and they have to guard against Xie Chen!
Roldeng suddenly made a passing error, and Anthony flicked the ball into the air. The closest to the basketball were the two of them, but they didn't expect that it was Xie Chen, who was two meters behind them, who grabbed the ball in the end.
The two were just about to jump and scramble, but they didn't expect Xie Chen to swish, like a gust of wind, flying directly between the two of them and picking up the ball, the speed was so fast, the action was so light and staggering.
After Xie Chen broke the ball, he went straight to the frontcourt, Xie Chen walked from the left side, and Derrick Williams traveled on the right side. There was only one Heat defender in the middle, and the fast-break goal was almost a no-brainer.
Xie Chen did not accelerate to the basket again, but did not look at a pass to the right, and threw the ball to Williams, who directly dunked after receiving the ball!
"What a quick steal, what a coquettish pass! It's simply Magician Johnson possessed! ”
From this attack, it can be completely seen that Xie Chen is full of energy again and is no longer trapped by physical strength. When you play better on the field, no one will blame you for what you did.
Action is always the best way to respond to others.
"Shea and Derrick Williams are pushing so fast. They are already the most dangerous fast-break duo for the New York Knicks. Pat Riley thought carefully, although Anthony and Xie Chen are trump cards, but in terms of the speed of fast attack, Anthony's pace has been slightly slow, not as good as Derrick Williams, a post-90s generation, Derrick Williams may not be as diverse as Anthony's offense. But with his explosiveness and amazing dunking ability, it was enough to help Xie Chen.
Pat Riley is also aware of the Knicks' potential threat. The Heat can't stop Xie Chen's fast attack, but can they stop Derrick Williams? There doesn't seem to be much that can be done.
"It's only six points away, will it be two three-pointers to be caught up by Xie?" Heat fans gradually felt uneasy, because in the past when Xie Chen was in the Heat. The team trailed by 6 points, and Xie Chen did so with two three-pointers.
But fortunately, the Heat team is also in good shape today, Xie Chen threw the ball to Hassan, and Hassan easily won it with a high throw after receiving the ball.
"Hassan, this guy has really improved a lot......" Xie Chen looked at Hassan who scored again, and couldn't help but admire, in just one year, even if Hassan trains hard every day, he won't improve so much, right? This made Xie Chen extremely nostalgic for last season, if Hassan was so strong at that time, he wouldn't have worked so hard to play the knights.
Since the opponent also returned it with two points, then Xie Chen will shoot three points!
Or attack with the ball, or rely on cover to get rid of defense, or get space to shoot by dribbling, or shoot when the opponent knows that he wants to shoot, the final result is still the same goal!
Swish!
Three points into the net!
"Oh my God, what a high arc, why is the hit rate so high for such a shot! Are Xie and Stephen Curry earthlings or not? "The fans at the scene are going to be helpless.
The Warriors who were watching the game also looked helpless, and Iguodala asked Stephen Curry directly: "Are you sure this is not your brother?" It's weird to have the same grasp of the three-point shot as you do. ”
Stephen Curry was also about to cry, he thought that the whole league would be a BT accurate, and he could shoot so helplessly that the opponent went crazy, but seeing Xie Chen shoot three points, he himself was helpless and crazy!
He is born in Curry, how can he be born in Xie Chen!
This time, the Heat team finally failed to respond to Xie Chen in the same way, and after that, Xie Chen scored points one after another, and after a few minutes, the score was tied!
No one accused Xie Chen of saying that Xie Chen was arrogant and ignored his opponent, because Xie Chen had this capital! Almost single-handedly sweeping the Raptors has proven that Xie Chen is strong, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to the Heat. Many people don't know that if there is no threat from the legendary Heat, Xie Chen will play very easily in these two games.
"It looks like their series is going to be a 1-1 draw, and then back to the Knicks' home court, I'm afraid the Heat are going to face a dilemma." Draymond Green said as he looked at the situation on the field.
Coach Kerr said: "Don't rush to conclusions, let's see how Xie is physically fit in the fourth quarter, and the Heat have a very high shooting percentage today, so they may not have a chance to win." ”
Many people are worried about Xie Chen's physical strength in the fourth quarter, because in the fourth quarter of the last game, Xie Chen did not stand up and score, which made the game fall into the final stalemate. They have to find a way to get a reassuring lead before then.
After coming on the court in the fourth quarter, Xie Chen quickly responded to these questions.
Xie Chen singled Luo Er Deng with his back, Luo Er Deng resisted with all his strength, he had the confidence to deal with the force Xie Chen exerted on his body, but he did not have the confidence to deal with Xie Chen's shooting, Wade saw that the situation was not good, Xie Chen wanted to eat Luo Er Deng alone, and quickly stepped forward to pinch Xie Chen!
But Xie Chen did not change his style of play because of Wade's arrival, did not pass, did not stop, and continued to turn around and shoot backwards according to his original plan! Defend against two people!
Luo Er Deng and Wade jumped up in unison and stretched out their arms to block Xie Chen, Xie Chen's body moved backwards in the air, and then made a picturesque backward jump shot like Jordan, the basketball flew out from the palms of Luo Er Deng and Wade, Xie Chen's body in the air was already very exaggerated, people were very skeptical that such a difficult action could be thrown, maybe if someone else, even the basket might not be touched, right?
Swish!
It's the crisp sound of falling into the net!
"In the face of two people defending, you can still score a goal like this!" The Warriors' Livingston is really convinced, and he often plays the step-back jumper after the back-to-back single, and he knows the difficulty of this move and the physical energy it takes.
"It seems that there is no problem with Xie's physical strength, and the Heat team is afraid that they will die at the hands of Xie alone." Livingston said.
Subsequently, Xie Chen showed no mercy, and staged two violent dunks in front of his old club, and the three-point shot never stopped! The Knicks regained the lead!
However, there was a problem that none of them noticed. (To be continued.) )
