If Xie Chen hadn't left the Heat, if Pat Riley could have more trust and freedom in Xie Chen, and if Chris Bosh could willingly assist Xie Chen, maybe this season would not be like this at all, at least the Heat would still be the strongest contender for the league championship.

Xie Chen enjoyed this practice game, playing with these familiar and unfamiliar guys, Xie Chen seemed to have returned to the time when he first arrived at the Heat a year ago, from being unfamiliar with each other to having a deep friendship, it was a very rare experience, you know, before joining the Heat team, Wade can be said to be Xie Chen's idol, and even when Xie Chen first became a member of the Heat team, LeBron James had not left, Xie Chen once thought that he could be teammates with these two superstars.

While these people were playing the game with laughter, a man walked into the training hall, Pat Riley, the team's president.

"Why did you suddenly start a practice match? Oh? Chris Shea is also there? Riley walked forward slowly, and saw Xie Chen's appearance obviously became a lot more surprised, now Riley seems to be a lot older than a year ago, he always wants to keep everything under his control, last season after James left Xie Chen's sudden appearance, unexpectedly brought the team a championship, but after winning the championship, Riley became more melancholy.

Riley has always thought that Xie Chen's body can't support his style of play, he thinks that Xie Chen will be injured sooner or later if he plays like this, and he may be injured and stopped for several seasons like Rose, but after a season, Xie Chen did stop many games, but not because of injury, but because he was banned for fighting, Xie Chen can almost single-handedly overturn the Magic team, and it has been proved that his body is fine.

Xie Chen hadn't noticed Riley yet, Riley glanced at the brother basketball between Xie Chen and Wade Hassan on the court, and said to Fisher: "Let them stop, Xie is our opponent in the next round." In case something happens to him here, I don't know what to do to Phil. ”

"Okay." Fisher clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Let's take a break." ”

Hearing Fisher's voice, Xie Chen looked to the sidelines, he saw Pat Riley, and now he has an awkward relationship with Riley. Just like when James left the Heat, Riley took the initiative to invite Xie Chen to the locker room to talk.

The two walked to the locker room, Xie Chen still remembered his position, which was in the corner, but the name on it had been changed to Winslow.

"Remember where you used to be?" Pat Riley chuckled.

Xie Chen nodded: "Of course, I remember every place here, especially the carnival in the locker room after winning the championship, only after winning the championship did I know that winning the championship is such an exciting thing, and a whole year has passed." When I think of the crazy scene at that time, I still feel excited. ”

Pat Riley nodded: "Well, so each of our teams will spare no effort to pursue the championship, I think it's not your goal to just complete the Black Eight Miracle, you still want to win the championship this year, right?" I have to admit that if you have to win, we can't stop you, but the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors or the San Antonio Spurs. Your current lineup really can't resist. ”

Xie Chen smiled lightly, he knew that Riley was saying that the Knicks team did not have a decent championship equipment. The main lineup is indeed enough, but the second lineup is too shabby, and once one of Xie Chen and Anthony gets into trouble, then this team will instantly become a weak team with second-rate strength.

But that's not the case with the Warriors and Spurs, who are still strong even in the absence of Curry and Leonard.

Xie Chen smiled: "I still remember when we trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by three games in the playoffs last year. Did you call me to the arena and say something to me? Why, as soon as I became an opponent, did you stop encouraging me? ”

Pat Riley laughed to himself, "Haha, I really shouldn't have said that kind of discouragement to you, I'm sorry. ”

The two chatted for a while. Just as Riley was about to get up and leave, Xie Chen suddenly asked, "Do you regret letting me go?" ”

Riley sighed, his face gloomy, and he replied after a long time: "Many people say that the divine arithmetic is out of order, that I miscalculated you, that you have become more terrible this season than last season, and that you have no health problems that I am worried about, but if I had to choose again, I would still do it, sorry, thanks, I don't understand you, I don't fight uncertain battles." If I'm not mistaken, that old fellow Phil Jackson doesn't understand you either, but he's willing to bet all his bets on you, and that's the difference between me and him. ”

Pat Riley finished speaking and prepared to leave.

"So he has more championship rings than you! So it's destined that you will lose to him as a coach and lose to him as a manager! Xie Chen suddenly became hysterical, who said he didn't care about Riley's distrust? Xie Chen has been holding back this sentence for almost a year.

If it weren't for coming to the Heat training gym today, if it wasn't for playing against Wade Hassan as a teammate, making Xie Chen feel like he was still the same Heat player, perhaps, Xie Chen would never have said these words to Pat Riley at all.

Pat Riley didn't look back and walked away.

A minute later, Wade walked in, stepped forward and patted Xie Chen's shoulder, and comforted: "Forget it, it's all over, don't think about it, in fact, the Heat are most reluctant to let you leave is Riley, he often says that you are the player he wants to coach the most, but the two of you are too similar to each other to some extent." ”

Xie Chen stayed in the Heat locker room for a short time and left, Miami is also his home, he also bought a mansion here, but although the conditions are good, he still misses the humble house he rented at the beginning.

Turn on the TV at night, T. These old guys at NT are talking about the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat matchup.

The host said: "A new round of the series will start tomorrow, the teams that are not eligible to compete for the championship are slowly being eliminated, and the strongest teams are slowly showing their strength, the New York Knicks, the team that was at the bottom of the league last season, this season with the addition of Xie, instantly became the strongest dark horse, and killed the first in the East in the first round, I believe that the Raptors can't accept the fact that they left so early, and the Miami Heat is also unlucky, because they will encounter these crazy guys next, so." , for this round of the series. What do you think? ”

Charles Barkley's expression was serious: "I remember after Xie won the championship with the Miami Heat last season, people started talking about whether Xie could become the first person in history, and we all thought it was too early at the time, but judging from the performance of this year's playoffs, Xie may really be attacking the throne occupied by Michael Jordan." Swept the Raptors 4:0 without a little effort. Even played a show in the game, winning so easily, the Heat absolutely could not bring a slight obstacle to Xie and the Knicks, Dwyane Wade has lost control of the game, he averaged less than 20 points per game this season, in fact, in the playoffs last year, he can no longer play as before, if you want to win this series with Wade, it will require Wade to play at least five consecutive games. Without relying on Wade, who can the Heat rely on to win the Knicks? Hassan who has no leadership temperament at all? Chris Bosh in an uncertain state? Or Dragic, who still hasn't been able to fully integrate into the Heat? ”

"I agree with Charles." O'Neal followed up and said: "The New York Knicks will advance to the Eastern Conference finals and meet with the Cavaliers, the Heat is not better than the Raptors, the Knicks can easily sweep the Raptors, they can definitely win the Heat, but there will be no more sweeps, I predict that they will lose 1 or 2 games at most." ”

……

Watch these seniors blow themselves. Xie Chen also shook his head helplessly, whether it was the media this time. Whether it is the fans, everyone has the same opinion, they all think that the Knicks will win this series, but unfortunately, they can't know Xie Chen's difficulties.

Eastern Conference semifinals, the first game between the Heat and the Knicks. It will be held at the American Airlines Arena as scheduled.

As in last year's playoffs, the stadium was filled with white seats, and everyone was uniformly dressed.

Xie Chen walked into the stadium, and the fans at the scene applauded and booed. But more of them looked at Xie Chen blankly, silent.

At this time last year, Xie Chen appeared at the American Airlines Arena and received cheers from the audience, everyone regarded Xie Chen as a hero, and the Heat fans still loved him, but Xie Chen became their enemy.

"You shouldn't boo him, boy, we wouldn't have won the championship without him last year." A white young man said to a young man next to him who was booing Xie Chen.

Xie Chen tried his best not to be disturbed by these external things, warmed up alone, and frankly speaking, he was a little nervous today.

He raised his head and looked at the jerseys hanging above the arena, there were no LeBron James and Wade Bosh's, if it was these guys, Xie Chen would have confidence......

When he came back to his senses, Xie Chen found that he had already started to jump the ball.

"So fast!" Xie Chen was slightly startled.

Seeing that Xie Chen's expression was a little dazed, Anthony patted Xie Chen's shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Xie Chen shook his head and walked to his place.

"Okay, the first game between the Heat and the Knicks has finally begun, and everyone can start predicting how many points Xie Chen will score tonight!" In Tencent's live broadcast room, Su Qun was also excited.

"100 points!" The beautiful hostess Mina jumped and shouted.

Ke Fan said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, Miami is also Xie Chen's old club, Xie Chen won't be so ruthless, I think forty or fifty is enough, and if you don't count overtime, four or fifty points in the fourth quarter is enough to win the Heat." ”

In the first shot, the Knicks scored and played, and in the end, Xie Chen shot and shot a three-pointer.

"Good shot!" Xie Chen scored the first three-pointer, and Ke Fan shouted excitedly.

Su Qun was also excited: "Xie Chen is coming, the big guy is optimistic, the first three points are so accurate, it seems that his state is still as good as the last round, I think although Coach Spo has coached Xie Chen for a season, it is estimated that he himself does not know how to prevent Xie Chen, haha." ”

The Cavaliers in Cleveland are also paying attention to this game, and Thompson saw that the Heat hit a three-pointer for the first time Xie Chen attacked, and couldn't help but ask James: "Will this guy Xie score another 60 points tonight?" ”

LeBron James chuckled, "Why not?" Isn't that the way he's always won? He doesn't need to trust his teammates at all, as long as the opponent doesn't kill him, he has a chance to hit the basketball, and the Heat, like the Raptors, can't do anything about it. Wait and see, this will be another solo performance. ”

"It's a pity that these guys from the Heat are very good with Xie, they won't do anything drastic to stop Xie, I thought he would get a little injured before he met us......" JR Smith, who grew his beard and looked a little vicissitudes, also said.

At the scene of the American Airlines Arena, the atmosphere was very tense, and everyone was very nervous, because Xie Chen was too powerful, Xie Chen was a hero of the city, and everyone was in awe of Xie Chen, but in fact, Xie Chen was just as nervous.

"It's 3 points, and it's 27 points away." Xie Chen scored the first goal, but he was busy remembering his score, and he wanted to know clearly how close he was to challenging the legendary Heat.

The Heat team is not to be outdone, Wade enjoys the opportunity to compete with Xie Chen, although he also knows that he can no longer be one-on-one with Xie Chen, and even his peak self may not be able to beat Xie Chen, but Wade still slowly relied on experience to score two points under the basket in response.

After the goal, Wade smiled at Xie Chen, it is rare to see such a look between opponents in the playoffs.

Wade was also relieved, and he had experienced everything he should have experienced in the NBA, otherwise when he was young, even if he had a good relationship with Xie Chen, he would not have been like this.

Xie Chen wants to control his score, but sometimes the more you want to control something, the more you come, as if God deliberately wants to go against you.

Hassan received Wade's pass, was cut off from behind by Lopez, and then quickly threw the ball to Xie Chen, who wanted to score a goal and assist a goal, but had no choice but to run quickly to the basket and pour the ball into Dragic's head.

"Good shot!" In the Tencent live broadcast room, Ke Fan shouted again, "5 points, this scoring efficiency, there is no one, Mr. Su, how about we make a bet, bet that Xie Chen will get 30 points in a few years, I guess two quarters." ”

Su Qun thought for a while and replied: "Then I'd better be conservative, I guess the third quarter, because Coach Spo clearly knows that this is Xie Chen's team, and he will definitely contain him, and he won't let Xie Chen score 30 points in half the game." ”

"I guess a section! Xie Chen can score 30 points in one section! The beautiful host also said.

Ke Fan laughed and said, "Okay, if you lose, please eat, Teacher Su is ready to pay for it." Xie Chen's state today is either one or two, and he can't be wrong. ”

Ke Fan's guess seemed to be right, because the next moment, Xie Chen suddenly cut off Dragic's ball! (To be continued.) )

PS: Today's ball is really kneeling, but I didn't expect that the first ability that our protagonist copied was the most BT ability in the world...... Will new readers think that "as soon as the groove comes up, there is Curry's ability to watch a P"
