Chapter 128: Crawford, who has a gorgeous style of play
Xie Chen put all his thoughts on the Thunder Ershao, he never expected to get into trouble when he met the Clippers, as the old saying goes, arrogant soldiers will lose, Xie Chen defeated the Clippers once at the beginning of the season, and thought that he could defeat them one after another, but he didn't know that the arena was like a battlefield, and every duel should be prepared to fail.
Now the Heat no longer have such a long winning streak, and it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, but the problem is that if Xie Chen wants to work hard to get points, he has to keep grabbing rebounds and scoring assists above the opponent's head, but Paul's defense gives Xie Chen a headache.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Xie Chen played early, but Paul was put on the bench by Rivers, and he didn't know when he would be able to play, however, the absence of Paul in the Clippers lineup does not mean that Xie Chen can sit back and relax, because there is a guy named Jamal Crawford on the Clippers bench.
Jamal Crawford is definitely the most gorgeous and extraordinary style of football in the league today. Sao, the best player at playing the opponent, in Xie Chen's eyes, one is the Cavaliers' Irving, and the other is the Clippers' Crawford, watching these two guys pass the ball is simply a pleasure, because you don't know what his next move will be, and as an opponent, even if you know what his next move is, you may not be able to react, because their speed is too fast.
Crawford has been all over the streets of Seattle since he was a child, and you can hear people mention his name on any court in Seattle, and his reputation on the street court is definitely much louder than his reputation in the NBA, as Jason Terry said, in those days, almost no one on the street court did not know the name Jamal Crawford.
Crawford's chic and casual style of play has also been brought to the NBA court, to this already gorgeous air city, his crotch pass assist to Griffin's windmill dunk, in this era, as a Clippers fan, is definitely the happiest.
After Crawford came on the court, he was opposite Xie Chen.
After Crawford got the ball, he was ready to attack his own singles, without the slightest intention of assisting his teammates to play the team, and the defender in front of him, Xie Chen, was three centimeters shorter than Crawford, and his self-confidence would be more for Crawford.
Crawford smiled, "Be careful not to be shaken by me, don't you know I'm an ankle finisher?" ”
There are countless players who have been shaken down by Crawford, and Rudy Gay last year unfortunately became the ghost at his feet, and it is a very humiliating thing to be shaken down, especially when the ball is scored after the shake, because this goal will definitely be selected as the top ten, and then repeatedly watched and reprinted by netizens.
Xie Chen has Wei Shao's close defensive skills, of course, he is not afraid of being shaken down when he follows the defense, Xie Chen smiled: "I don't think an old man will shake a player who is at the peak of his body, Jamal." ”
"Elderly?" Crawford was stunned, whether it is looks or qualifications, Crawford is indeed much older than Xie Chen, Crawford has been in the league for 14 years, with the face of a middle-aged uncle, coupled with his good height, I believe that people who don't know him, if they don't look at him playing, they will never guess that he is a gorgeous style player.
Crawford smiled, accelerated forward in an instant, Xie Chen immediately followed, but Crawford suddenly dribbled behind and stopped, back dribbling can be said to be Crawford's best and favorite move, he used this trick to shake countless opponents, however, Xie Chen had already done his homework on Crawford, so there was no surprise to his back dribble.
"Oh? I didn't expect this kid to defend well. Crawford was slightly startled, continued to dribble gorgeously, kept dribbling under his crotch, flickered left and right, suddenly a false shake, pretended to break through to the left, but it was just a meal, and immediately dribbled to the right behind the attack, but just took a step to the right, suddenly pulled back, and broke through to the left again, at this time, Xie Chen couldn't keep up, Crawford broke through and did not enter the penalty area, mid-distance emergency stop jump shot, the ball went in.
"Cool! Jamal! Little Jordan shouted at Crawford off the field, Paul and others couldn't help but applaud, Crawford's style of play is still the same, not less than it was back then!
No way, really no way, Crawford's way of passing people is really too difficult to defend, even if he has Wei Shao's close defense skills, it is difficult to defend with the same speed as Wei Shao, because Crawford is too good at cheating, it's not that you can have speed, and this kind of passing coupled with a steady shooting rate can be called incomprehensible, but for Crawford, he can't shoot such a goal every time.
Sure enough, next time, Crawford, as the strongest offensive point in the bench lineup, once again singled Xie Chen, the same "friction and friction like the devil's pace", but the shooting was interfered with by Xie Chen and hit the iron.
Because Xie Chen has the speed of Wei Shao, it is still impossible for Crawford to completely get rid of Xie Chen's defense, so when he shoots at the end, he will always be interfered by Xie Chen, and Crawford's shooting is generally a stop-and-go jump shot, and the stability is poor, coupled with Xie Chen's defense, the shooting rate is even less optimistic.
Although Crawford can't always be successful in single-handedly playing Xie Chen, the fans at the scene already feel that Crawford has the upper hand against Xie Chen, for the simple reason that Xie Chen did not return the color in the same way.
"Hahaha, Jamal is so handsome! He turned Xie around, if the hit rate was higher, Xie was probably going to collapse! ”
"That's right, it's a nightmare for anyone like Jamal, Rudy Gay, Ray Allen have been through this kind of torture, let's go ahead and see what magic he can do on the field!"
Now that the Clippers are ahead, the benches are also playing well, which makes the fans feel refreshed, and seeing Xie Chen's frowning and seeming to be very depressed, he applauded Jamal Crawford, but Xie Chen was not frowning because of Crawford at this time.
"There must be scoring assists in this game, but rebounding is hard to find, if you want to get high points in this game, you have to work other numbers, I fell into a misunderstanding before the game, only focus on the skills I have learned, and now I meet a Crawford who loves to play so much, it is definitely a good opportunity to steal, even if I don't copy anyone's steal skills now, with my strength, I may not be able to have one or two steals!"
Xie Chen decided to start stealing the awareness of steals on the basis of working hard to grab rebounds! The goal of the tackle is very clear: Jamal Crawford!
Another meaning of the gorgeous style of play is that it is too difficult to dribble too much, and it is easy to make mistakes, and once you make a mistake, it is a good time for the opponent to steal! From this moment on, Xie Chen began to do his best to defend Crawford!
The Clippers' Lakers veteran Jordan Farmar held the ball, came out in a circle, had no chance, and handed the ball to Crawford, now there is not much time left for the offense, Crawford is still showing off his dribbling skills in the face of Xie Chen, who knows that Xie Chen, who has broken through the defense, suddenly stepped forward and stuck to Crawford, Crawford was in a hurry for a while, after stopping the ball, before he moved, Xie Chen slammed the ball and cut it off quickly!
Xie Chen cut the ball quickly and accurately, without giving Crawford a chance to react, Crawford complained to the angel female referee that the ball was beaten! didn't get any response, so he was helpless, so he hurriedly rushed over to defend Xie Chen.
Xie Chen saw Crawford catching up, and when he was close to the three-point line, he suddenly made an emergency stop, and Crawford also quickly stopped, standing in front of Xie Chen, ready to defend Xie Chen's three-point shot, but Xie Chen used his left hand to accelerate and break through again at this time, and Xie Chen's center of gravity was extremely low at this time, lower than Lowry's center of gravity when he broke through!
Broke through with his left hand, did not change hands, snapped twice, pulled back with his left hand again, and withdrew outside the three-point line, Crawford was shaken down this time, his body center of gravity was unstable, and he slowly tilted up, but he did not fall to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Chen quickly got up and jumped and hit a three-point shot!
“OMG! Xie almost shook Jamal down! Is this true? ”
"I can't believe it, I just thanked that left-handed dribble, and it really means a bit of street basketball."
After Xie Chen shot, Jamal Crawford smiled awkwardly, and secretly sighed that this young rookie really had a hand, but Crawford would not admit defeat lightly.
successfully steals Crawford once, plus hits a three-pointer, this time it is 8 points, which makes Xie Chen taste the sweetness, so he will always pay attention to Crawford's actions and be ready to steal at any time!
But this time, Crawford didn't give Xie Chen a chance when he dribbled, and after a dazzling pass, he directly broke through Xie Chen and entered the restricted area, and he was about to go to the basket!
The defensive focus of everyone on the Heat team was also on Crawford, thinking that he would take the opportunity to make a layup, but Xie Chen's eyes were on another person at this time, Big Baby Glen Davis!
The field was changing rapidly, and Xie Chen almost only had a second to decide that Crawford might pass the ball to Davis behind him, so he did not step forward to block Crawford, but deliberately left a distance.
Crawford, who has always played casually, was as Xie Chen expected, he didn't see if Xie Chen was keeping up with him, he saw the position of his teammate Davis early, and after breaking through to the basket, while the Heat players came to pounce, he quickly passed the ball behind his back without looking at people and passed it over!
He was confident that the ball would go to Davis and that his teammate would pull off a heavyweight dunk, which he believed would be a top 10 pass!
But when Crawford looked back after passing the ball, he was shocked to find that Xie Chen had intercepted the pass!
Crawford was shocked: "How can this be! ”
