Chapter 235: Breaking Curry's Three-Point Record!
This night, the names of Xie Chen and Stephen Curry once again became the focus of conversation among all basketball fans, the two from the first meeting of the game, it seems that they are destined to be entangled throughout the season, the best point guard in the league, the best three-point shooter in the league, each leading the team to the first place in the East and West, the biggest competitor for MVP, tonight, to fight for who is the first to break the record!
Curry's 272 three-point records in a single season in the first two years are already breathtaking, if it weren't for Xie Chen's emergence this year, maybe Curry would not have broken this record again, because Xie Chen became famous for his three-point shooting, Curry wanted to tell the world that he was the best three-point shooter, so he kept shooting three-pointers every game, and Xie Chen himself was a shooting maniac, otherwise he would not be at the top of the scoring list as a rookie, which created a record-breaking situation where the two broke the record together today.
Michael Jordan sat on the sidelines and looked at the field quietly, in the third quarter, Xie Chen had already played, although Xie Chen looked no different from the first two quarters on the surface, Jordan could faintly detect Xie Chen's changes.
"This quarter, this kid is going to start shooting three points like crazy." Jordan said secretly, maybe Xie Chen's crazy shot will give the Hornets a chance to win, but this season, the Hornets have gone over, even if they win the Heat today, the Heat is still the first in the East, and the Hornets will still roll up and leave after ten days, what's the point?
Thinking of this, Jordan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Jordan the Great guessed correctly, Xie Chen was ready to shoot three points as soon as he got on the court, only 3 three-pointers away from Curry's record, and in this quarter, Xie Chen was about to break!
A high-post cover, Xie Chen directly and neatly made a three-point shot and hit!
270! Xie Chen's 270th three-pointer this season!
Lance Stephenson was shocked: "This should be the 270th, right?" There are still two left, this kid is tied to Stephen Curry, should you stick to him and not let him break the record? ”
NBA players are jealous, especially old players to new players, I can't see them arrogant, Stephenson doesn't want Xie Chen to break the record on his head, but after thinking about it, Xie Chen's record will be broken sooner or later, why cheap Stephen Curry for nothing? After all, Stephenson, who also likes to pretend to be B, doesn't treat the "shaking head library" very much, not to mention that when he met Xie Chen just now, Xie Chen also thanked him......
In the end, Stephenson still decided not to embarrass Xie Chen, and all the Hornets players, including the coach, knew that he was going to break the record, and they didn't take the bag.
However, even so, Stephenson and Michael Jordan don't think that Xie Chen can really break the record easily, because shooting three points is not up to speed, and it is very affected by the situation, and the more Xie Chen wants to break the record in a hurry, the easier it is to throw off.
However, how could Xie Chen, who relied on skills to make a move, be affected by love?
45-degree angle three-point line single, a fake break, quickly retreat back to the three-point line, fast three-point shot, and then hit!
271! It's just one short of leveling Curry's record!
And the third quarter is only a minute later!
"Just one minute into the second half, Xie threw two three-pointers! It looks like this record is about to be broken! ”
"It's broken, it's definitely broken! I just don't know what's going on with Stephen Curry? ”
Staples Center, the game between the Warriors and the Lakers, Curry also shot three points as soon as he got on the court, but unfortunately, he shot two, the first one was iron, and the second one was still iron!
Kobe Bryant shook his head off the court: "The Lakers didn't take too tight defense against him at all, Stephen's failure to shoot can only be said to be a defeat to himself, he was too anxious, once there is psychological pressure when shooting three points, the result will be greatly affected, even if he is the best three-point shooter in the league, it is no exception." ”
Another minute passed, Curry still didn't score a three-pointer, and Xie Chen had another three-point shot, but unfortunately this time he missed it.
However, soon, Xie Chen created a shooting opportunity for himself!
Steals! After Xie Chen made a steal, he quickly ran to the front court!
Stephenson was very unhappy after being broken: "This guy will definitely shoot when he reaches the three-point line, and he won't run to the basket to dunk!" ”
Not only Stephenson thinks so, everyone on the scene, including Coach Spo, thinks so, Xie Chen liked to do this in the past, but now there is only one ball away from the record, and there is no one to defend under the basket, it is simply the best time to shoot!
However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Chen did not stop when he reached the three-point line, but continued to move forward and crossed the three-point line!
"What? That's impossible! With this guy's frenzy of counting jù, it is impossible to give up the three-point opportunity and choose to dunk! Stephenson was shocked, this was completely different from what he expected, could it be that Xie Chen would really choose to score a more secure layup or dunk?
But what does the score mean for the Heat, who are now firmly in first place in the East?
Even Jordan was slightly startled, not knowing what Xie Chen wanted to do.
Then, Jordan suddenly found that Xie Chen's route was very weird!
"How did he walk diagonally?" Jordan was slightly surprised for a moment, and was instantly shocked: "I know!" He crossed the three-point line not to dunk, but to run to the corner! He's going to shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner! ”
Michael Jordan, stand up!
Everyone watched Xie Chen take the ball to the three-point line in the bottom left corner, and the Hornets thought that Xie Chen would throw the ball out when he reached the top of the arc, and no one chased after him!
In this scene, there was only Xie Chen alone in the entire half, and Xie Chen stood quietly in the bottom left corner with the ball in both hands, as if he was training alone in the training hall.
That's right, Xie Chen chose to shoot a three-point shot from the bottom corner instead of a three-point at the top of the arc, because he, or Curry, had a more accurate shooting percentage at this position!
Funny Stephenson suddenly realized: "I understand! The reason why he chose the bottom corner instead of the top of the arc is because the bottom corner three-point shooting rate is higher and more certain. ”
There are many players who shoot three-point immediately at the top of the arc after the fast break, but in the face of an empty basket in the fast break, Xie Chen is still the first in NBA history to take the ball to the bottom corner and shoot three points!
Well, the Nets shook, the basketball landed, and the 272nd three-pointer, Xie Chen, equaled Stephen Curry's single-season three-point goal record!
And the Heat still have 4 games, this record is broken, it is already no suspense, and even, in the next minute, it may be broken!
Michael Jordan sat down slowly, the shock in his heart could not be suppressed, this was the first time he witnessed a record-breaking moment after retiring, Xie Chen's calmness, stability, and peculiarity made Jordan have to admire.
"Maybe Stephen Curry and Tse's three-point shooting level is at the same level, but Tse is much better than Stephen in other aspects, and with such an opponent, Stephen Curry will not have a better time in the future." Jordan said secretly.
At the same time, Staples lived, and I don't know who shouted "Xie tied Stephen Curry!" Curry was even more stunned.
Curry couldn't believe the rumor, and he panicked inside: "How could he tie it so quickly just three minutes into the third quarter?!" Doesn't this guy have any psychological burden! ”
According to Curry's number of shots in this section, according to Curry's three-point shooting rate in the past, Ben also had a chance to tie the record, but Curry's mentality was affected by Yanzhòng, and the shooting rate also dropped sharply.
"It's just a tie, it's not broken yet! I still have a chance! ”
Now Curry is like a demon, as long as the Warriors attack and firmly control the ball in his own hands, Thompson originally wanted him to control the ball, let Curry run without the ball and then shoot three points, but Curry still has that patience, singles, all kinds of changes to get rid of, defenders don't take him seriously, watch him shoot, but Curry just can't shoot! It also gave the Lakers the opportunity to fight back one after another, and after a while, the Warriors were already ten points behind.
Diametrically opposed to Curry, Xie Chen's mentality became more stable after tying the record, dribbling like a leisurely stroll, dribbling under various crotches near the midline, as if thinking about how to break this record-breaking shot to be more handsome.
"In the past 272 three-pointers, I used Curry's skills to shoot, and this record-breaking goal is my own shooting posture!"
I believe that no one in the league will know that this time, it is the first time that Xie Chen has used his ability to shoot three points.
Xie Chen first used the Wei Shao breakthrough skill with a fusion of 70 percent to break through, and then, constantly dribbling back under his crotch, the moment he stepped out of the three-point line with both feet, he jumped and shot.
The basketball does not have such a high arc as before, but it is still a beautiful arc, and the basketball projected this time seems to be very unfamiliar with the basket, and it seems to have been communicated for a long time before the basket is allowed to enter.
Entered!
The 273rd!
Xie Chen scored 4 three-pointers in four minutes, breaking the single-season three-point record of Stephen Curry in the 2012-2013 season!
Stephen Curry broke Allen, Xie Chen broke Stephen Curry, the record in NBA history is constantly being refreshed by future generations!
At this moment, even if it was not Xie Chen's home stadium, Michael Jordan stood up to applaud Xie Chen, and many fans at the scene also applauded Xie Chen and celebrated this moment for him away.
The Heat bench was already boiling, Walker, Beasley, and Kerr all stood up and applauded, Xie Chen also high-fived his teammates on the court one by one, Xie Chen took the lead in breaking Curry's record, this moment, belongs to Xie Chen!
At the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry, who was still anxious to shoot three points, suddenly heard this "bad news" for him, and no longer had any hard work, was his record broken by him?
Klay Thompson patted Curry on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be upset, this season is not over yet, you still have a chance to regain the glory that belongs to you!" ”R1152
