Everyone is talking about Xie Chen and James, Wade and James, but they forget that there is another All-Star player in this series, and he is also a player who has won the All-Star MVP, Kelly Irving.

Maybe it's because of the lack of experience in the Eastern Conference Finals, maybe it's easy to ignore under James's shining wings, but you have to know that Irving is on the rise! He's only 23 years old, and superstars are unstoppable at this age!

Owen's task is very heavy, and many people will put themselves in the shoes of this little man, first of all, he has to defend Xie Chen, who is Xie Chen? He is the league's most unexpected phenomenal player, a super scoring maniac who recently set a new playoff high, and an all-around player in both scoring and assisting, and that alone is enough to bring down Irving.

Secondly, he has to stand up and show aggression on the offensive end, Kevin Love is no longer there, there are only James and Irving in the Big Three, you can't leave everything to James to complete, James returned to his hometown not to be both a father and a mother like he used to be.

Seeing Owen calmly and calmly breaking through the layup, Xie Chen unconsciously admired this guy in his heart, matured, after the baptism of this playoffs, Owen has obviously matured.

"This kid never seems to be flustered, and I can guess a thing or two about the psychology of many people, even including Stephen Curry, but Irving ...... When he had the ball, I couldn't read it. ”

{

Irving has a rare steadiness at this age, and this season because of James' sudden homecoming, forcing Irving to be more mature again, for Irving, the Cavaliers Big Three, the pressure is very high for him, for the sake of victory. He has to change his way of playing and make sacrifices, which is extremely cruel and extremely difficult to change for a 23-year-old who has just become the boss of the team, you know, Wade has been the boss for a long time before he became the second leader, and even in the first year of James' arrival, he still feels like a boss.

Before that. Irving didn't get a taste of what the playoffs were like, so much so that in the darkness of Game 2 of the playoffs, during a timeout, Irving asked Mike Miller, "Is this the intensity of the playoffs?" ”

It's funny to say, Owen and Xie Chen are the same at this point, but at that time, Xie Chen changed his thinking, he no longer listened to the so-called "playoff intensity" and "playoff difference" from outsiders, and felt it with his body, completely leaving this qiē behind and focusing on the game.

And then. Miller told him: "It's still early, you'll know it when you get to the Eastern Conference Finals." ”

Now, the Eastern Conference Finals have finally arrived, and before that, the Cavaliers have not lost a game, and correspondingly, the intensity is not enough, today's game. Will let Owen, or Xie Chen. All experience what playoff intensity is!

Xie Chen began to play steadily, dribbling the ball slowly, and was just about to take a step forward, when he snapped, he was attacked by Owen and knocked the basketball off!

Owen is shorter than Xie Chen. With a low center of gravity and agile speed, it's still easy to make a steal if you are taken by surprise.

Seeing that Irving was about to control the ball, James over there was the No. 1 fast-break madman in the league. It was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was just about to rush forward, but he was entangled by Luo Erdeng! James made a very exaggerated backward move, but unfortunately the referee didn't bird him.

Owen had already got the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, of course, he also knew that he never got rid of Xie Chen, Xie Chen was behind him, and James was maliciously blocked by Luo Er Deng and did not follow, this time he had no helper!

But how can a confident Owen be afraid of one-on-one? Owen marched from left to right, jumped up near the basket, and Xie Chen followed closely behind, also jumping, ready to block!

Irving didn't throw the ball the first time, but was gliding.

Does he have to glide to the right side of the basket before he throws the ball?

In order to prevent being blocked by Xie Chen, he might do so, but even so, he could not escape the fate of being covered.

Unexpectedly, Owen didn't do this, and just as he was about to glide over, his left hand suddenly went to the basket from the left side of the basket, and snapped! Xie Chen also slapped Owen with his left hand!

"Hot pot! Xie Chen gave Owen a hat! Yu Jia excitedly explained.

After this hat, both of them lost their balance a little, they all fell to the ground, the basketball was still on the court, and the follow-up Shambaught picked up the basketball, faced the basket with no one to defend it, pursed his lips and smiled, jumped lightly, and when he thought he was going to score the first point, he snapped, and it was another big hat, and it was given to him by Wade!

"The best block backcourt combination!"

However, at this time, Irving grabbed the ball again, and then hit a three-pointer from the outside to end the farce.

The offense and defense of both sides were vividly displayed at the beginning of the first quarter, which made the fans dizzy, especially Irving, although he had just been covered, he was the one who stole the limelight in the opening, especially the fact that he could get up and shoot three points steadily after being covered, and the table was extremely mature.

Irving's originally sleepy-eyed eyes showed brilliance, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is this the strongest matchup in the playoffs that I've been looking forward to?" I'm finally here in the Eastern Conference Finals, and this is not the end of the road for me, I'm going to make it to the Finals! ”

Irving has had a dream of basketball since he was a child, and every night, when Irving has completed his study assignments, the elder Irving, who is also his father, will take him to a nearby court, turn on his car lights, and let Irving run around the court day and night.

When he was eleven years old, Irving secretly wrote down a note and put it in a drawer: "When I grow up, I want to be in the NBA." ”

Everyone knows what happened next, the Cleveland Cavaliers picked Irving with the top pick, and then Irving took out the yellowed note and showed it to his father, and he said, "Dad, you see, I have achieved my dream."

It's the way to the finals, and only one of the two teams can get through it, and everyone has dreams of a championship, so a fight is inevitable.

Irving is strong, indeed strong, but not strong enough to beat the Heat on his own? The answer is no.

Xie Chen responded when he turned around, Xie Chen rushed forward, pulled back sharply, and returned to the three-point line. Then quickly shoot a three-point shot and hit the ball!

Yu Jia was surprised: "The hit rate of the players on both sides is so high, you come and go, this is really pleasing to the eye." ”

Su Qun said: "Yes, so I said that this game is definitely not inferior to this year's Finals matchup, whether the West is the Warriors or the Rockets." It doesn't matter if it's the Cavaliers or the Heat in the East, because these two teams will fight and compete to the extreme, they have superstar players on both teams, and there is more than one of them. ”

Yu Jia smiled: "There are even more than two, but one of them is injured and can't fight." ”

If both Love and Bosh were there, the series would have been even more exciting, and both of them, who could not play due to injury, appeared on the scene in suits, and the two looked at each other at the two corners of the court, their eyes were extremely embarrassed.

Both teams had extremely high shooting percentages. Don't give the inside a chance to grab rebounds at all, and the non-stop offense makes the players on both sides also greatly consume, and every time the opponent scores a goal, it is an invisible pressure on himself, and the defensive intensity of both sides is naturally very high, but the first quarter is basically played by superstars, so there is a way to score no matter what.

Xie Chen has his own way of beating Owen, and Owen also has his own experience in beating Xie Chen, James vs. Luo Erdeng. Wade vs. Shambaugh are both very easy to score.

So the first section. The two teams played a very high score, ending the first quarter with 35:34, and the Heat temporarily led by one point.

Cavaliers coach Blatter frowned, he didn't expect that the first quarter would be such an offensive performance, not only Xie Chen and Wade, but also James and Irving's shooting percentages were so high. Most of those points came from these four men, and the managers of both sides seemed to acquiesce in letting the opponent's aces score.

Before, everyone was more concerned about how the team coach should restrict Xie Chen and James, but now it seems that they are all letting the ace play. Let the ace defeat himself alone, constantly consuming his combat power, at least in the first quarter, and it is not clear whether it is wrapped in the end.

There are very few people who can use the Cavaliers, basically eight or nine people in rotation, even Sean Marion does not give a chance to play, at the beginning of the second quarter, Dellavedova and James Jones, the two are excited and calm, James Jones looks very similar to an actor in Hong Kong, the actor is called Zhong Hanliang, an idol star.

And after Jones came on the court, he was also like an idol star, unsmiling, full of coolness, and tried two three-pointers, but unfortunately it didn't work.

And Dellavedova showed his bandit nature as soon as he came up, collided with Chalmers, both fell to the ground, and then got up and talked all kinds of trash talk, but Della sprayed for a while and then took the initiative not to spray, it seemed that it was pointless to spray with Chalmers, his target was the ace of the Heat, Xie Chen.

Then, it didn't take long for James and Irving to play again, and as soon as the two came up, they led the score, James was not in a hurry to attack, or gave his teammates a chance, very patient and very selfless,

After Xie Chen came on the court, he played the same style as him, the difference is that the Cavaliers have JR and Irving on the outside, both of whom are very accurate in their three points, while the Heat, except for Xie Chen, it is difficult to guarantee the three points of others, so soon, the Cavaliers led the Heat by 5 points.

Xie Chen saw that the momentum was not right, and he was about to start chasing points, still a lightning breakthrough, still a quick basket, but, who knows, this time James took the initiative to step forward to block Xie Chen, Xie Chen's layup skills possessed, just about to dodge and move in the air, but unexpectedly, James did not want to block Xie Chen this time, but ......

I saw James hit Xie Chen with his left arm, and pulled Xie Chen down with the ball.

James took a foul tactic! He didn't want to cover Xie Chen at all, and directly pulled it down!

Due to the arrogance of James's strength, Xie Chen fell to the ground after landing on the ground!

"Oh, James dragged Xie Chen to the ground with one hand, this power is really arrogant!" Yu Jia said.

Su Qun said with a smile: "I don't think James wants to defend against Xie Chen, he just rushes to foul, and uses this kind of strong defense to tell Xie Chen, the inside line is not something you can go to if you want to." ”

After Xie Chen got up, he was not embarrassed, but smiled lightly, James' foul this time was obviously to show himself his strength, James has no problem with his character, he will not secretly do anything, Xie Chen did not hurt him at all, but even so, Xie Chen will not let James succeed.

"Want to show off your superiority on me? LeBron, you're so naïve! ”

Xie Chen walked to the free throw line and secretly said in his heart: "Improve the degree of integration!" ”

The system replied, "Please select the skill that increases the degree of fusion." ”

"LeBron James, layup skills!"

"LeBron James' layup skills, the current fusion level is 35 percent, you currently have 70 fusion points, do you want to improve to 100 percent?"

Although having 90 percent of James' strength had completely increased by one strength level, Xie Chen had no time to wait for it to grow slowly, so he replied, "Yes!" ”

The system said: "LeBron James' layup skills have been successfully improved, and the current integration is 100%!" ”

"Hahaha, James, I already have all the power you had when you went to the basket! There's a kind of you pull me to try again! ”

Just when Xie Chen was overjoyed, he suddenly heard the call of Wade and a group of teammates beside him.

"Thanks, it's almost time, what are you doing?"

"Thanks, make free throws, shoot quickly!"

Oh grass, why did you forget that it was a free throw now, but there is a time limit for free throws, Xie Chen came back to his senses, and in a hurry, he threw it forward, and the ball turned out to be hollow into the net.

"Oh, what the hell, you can throw it in like this? This shooting position is even uglier than Marion's! "JR Smith originally saw Xie Chen stunned, and thought that he would lose one, but he didn't expect to make a hasty shot and actually be able to shoot!

Xie Chen also smiled, but the next shot he threw with his heart was short.

The fans were also speechless, they could shoot with their hands, but they couldn't shoot with standard shooting movements. This Xie Chen is really a weirdo.

Thompson grabbed the rebound, and James immediately launched an offense, still relying on his tank-like rolling, and easily made a layup. When James comes up, you either foul or watch him score. There's no way around it.

However, not only James would bully people like this, Xie Chen could too!

Soon, Xie Chen got a chance to break fast, this is because he stole the pass that was originally given to JR Smith, JR was very angry, he and Xie Chen already had a grudge, in the regular season, he swore that if they met in the playoffs, they would definitely abuse the other party and send the other party home, this is JR's chance to prove himself!

However, Xie Chen's breakthrough speed was too fast, and JR Smith was still one step behind with all his might, and when he was close to the basket, JR couldn't stop the block at all, so he thought about humiliating Xie Chen with James' foul just now.

"Hmph, I was easily pulled down by LeBron just now, and now I'll let you taste the powerlessness of this chick being trampled by an elephant!"

J.R. Smith stepped forward and grabbed Xie Chen's arm, ready to forcibly pull him down! (To be continued......) R1292
