Chapter 831: Not Afraid of Fouls!
In basketball, if the opponent guesses what you are going to do correctly and plans in advance, it will be easy to win, but if you guess wrong, you will only lose more than you lose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Tencent's live broadcast room, Ke Fan and Su Qun were also discussing the second game of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Thunder.
Ke Fan said: "Everyone knows that there is such a team in the league that you can't mess with, that is, the Lakers and Warriors after losing, whenever they lose, they will definitely rebound in the next game, and often abuse the opponent with a big score, Xie Chen is the player who does not allow others to question him, so I am optimistic that he will explode in this game." ”
Su Qun also smiled: "That's right, plus he didn't have a chance to show his skills in the last game, he will definitely play well in this game, but he won't be crazy from beginning to end like before, he will control the rhythm, control his foul count, and take his time, but once Xie Chen plays slowly, and the thunder plays fast, the result is unknown, we trust Xie Chen's ability, and we also believe that Xie Chen will not commit six more crimes in this game, but the result is really hard to say." ”
Su Qun was faintly worried, if this game was really won by the Thunder and the series score became 2:0, then the Lakers would really hang in the series, and the next two games would be away, and the Thunder would get the match point as long as they won one game.
At the scene, the Timberwolves had three less, the Heat Big White Edge and President Pat Riley were still sitting in the last game.
"Today's scene will be very different." Pat Riley told the four young players that it was his personal feeling and that he didn't know what would be different, which made LaVine Downs and others look forward to it, and at the same time, they were also thinking about what they would do if they were in this situation.
When the Thunder players entered the stadium today, they got twice as many boos as in the previous game, and there were boos for Oladipo before, and this time all the Thunder players, including Wei Shao Adams, played with boos, because Lakers fans hated the Thunder's foul making tactics, and they just wanted to force the Lakers' ace star to leave the court.
And the Thunder's players are all very cold and arrogant, and they don't take this boo seriously at all, especially Oladipo, when he warmed up before the game, he jumped and jumped, and he was very happy.
"Hehe, 75 wins, retire if you win the championship, it's all a joke! See how I knock you out! "Oladipo thinks it must be a great thing if he prevents the Lakers from making the cut.
The game started soon, and everyone's mood became nervous, wondering if the Thunder was still so aimed at Xie Chen today?
The first offense was on the Lakers' side, and after several conductions, the ball returned to Xie Chen's hand again, and when Xie Chen just got the ball on the outside, Oladipo's whole person immediately pasted up, and his hands, face, and feet were almost inseparable from Xie Chen.
"How's that, does it smell good on me? I haven't taken a shower in two days! Oladipo deliberately disgusted Xie Chen, he wanted to stimulate Xie Chen from the first minute of the game, provoke him and make him angry.
Xie Chen ignored him, and immediately stopped the ball after getting rid of it, and made a shooting posture, but it was just a false shake.
Oladipo was startled, but fortunately he didn't jump, and in the face of Xie Chen after the dead ball, he once again made a provocative statement: "You dare to throw ......"
After Xie Chen paused, he suddenly pulled out Maddie, Oladipo slapped his hand late, because he was very close to Xie Chen, Xie Chen could do a symbolic performance, although Oladipo did not touch Xie Chen.
Swish!
Hit a three-point shot and cause a foul on Oladipo!
"I didn't foul!" Oladipo looked at the referee with a look of dismay.
"If you want to force Xie Chen to foul more, the Thunder themselves must be prepared to be whistled for fouls, because you don't know what the referee will do, especially if you want to blow Xie Chen down, you also have to blow a player from the Thunder down." Su Qun said.
Immediately afterwards, it was the turn of the Thunder to attack, and the Thunder was still the same routine, whoever Xie Chen defended would be responsible for the attack, and it was a tenacious hand-to-hand attack.
Xie Chen is staring at Oladipo, Oladipo has long been ready, and singled Xie Chen with his back in the low post, but Xie Chen's strength does not lose to him at all, Oladipo can't take advantage, although it has no effect, but he still keeps squeezing and confronting Xie Chen with his body, he himself also has a good grasp of proportion, and he doesn't make too many moves, not letting the referee blow him offensive foul.
Oladipo then made a turnaround jumper.
"Xie will be very cautious defensively tonight, he's going to control his fouls, Victor, shoot boldly." Coach Donovan said secretly.
Syllable!
Who knows, when Oladipo slammed Xie Chen's chest with his body to turn over and jump to the jumper, Xie Chen immediately chased after him and jumped to block it, and covered the ball with a snap.
Xie Chen's unrelenting defensive attitude surprised both Oladipo and Donovan at the same time.
After being covered by Xie Chen, Oladipo got the ball again, he still didn't choose to pass, and continued to play Xie Chen and make his fouls, until Xie Chen felt afraid and didn't dare to defend.
Oladipo changed it to a breakthrough this time and forcibly squeezed Xie Chen away for a layup, but was slapped down by Xie Chen again!
"What?" Donovan was really a little surprised this time, Xie Chen's block just now, if he didn't get it right, it was a defensive foul, this probability is quite large, if he was looking for a foul, this would be blown, but Xie Chen was not afraid.
"Attack! Aggro! "The fans were very excited.
Nick Young was already running quickly, Xie Chen used Kevin Love's long pass, and a long pass went to Nick Young, assisting Nick Young to dunk.
Ke Fan said: "Judging from this attack and defense, Xie Chen is still quite tough, and he has physical contact, but he is not afraid of fouls. ”
"Well, after all, it's only started now, and he's a foul now, but I still have to pay attention." Su Qun said.
On the court, Adams also comforted Oladipo and said: "He doesn't have a foul now, of course he is not afraid to defend it, and after a while, he has two or three fouls, do you think he dares to cover you?" ”
Oladipo was originally very frustrated by the cap, but if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case, Oladipo's most important task now is to quickly make Xie Chen have one or two fouls first.
After that, Xie Chen scored again, and the Thunder was the same as before, still playing Xie Chen's point, Oladipo was covered two in a row, this time facing Xie Chen was a little hesitant, thinking about how to hit Xie Chen to better make him foul, but Oladipo hesitated slightly, Xie Chen immediately reached out, took out the ball in Oladipo's hand, and then quickly followed to get the ball, ran to the front court to attack quickly, a beautiful gliding split!
"Reaching out for a steal?" Coach Donovan was surprised, but then chuckled, "Very good, in this case, you will still leave the game with six fouls today!" ”
"Xie Chen is the steal king of the regular season, if the Thunder targets Xie Chen so much, then his steal statistics will be very terrible, and even a new high is possible." Ke Fan Dao.
Su Qun didn't think so: "It's okay if you steal the pass, if it's broken from someone else's hand like this, then you have to reach out to it, as soon as you stretch out your hand, you will have physical contact, and if you have physical contact, you may be blown foul, there are many examples of Xie Chen's stealing fouls in the regular season." ”
"Yes, sometimes Xie Chen will forcibly take the ball away directly from the opponent's hand, if the opponent doesn't let go, he will even throw out one piece, haha, that is learned from Leonard." Ke Fan said with a smile.
Five minutes later, Xie Chen has led the team to lead the Thunder by 10 points, and the Lakers' scores basically come from Xie Chen's personal scores or direct assists.
Many people think that Xie Chen is so unscrupulous in attacking and defending, is it because he knows that the referee will not blow him? Is there an insider?
Soon, the referee used the whistle to prove their innocence.
Xie Chen did not relax because he was leading at the beginning, and continued to attack frantically, breaking through to the inside line to use LeBron James's layup ability, but this time he was blown an offensive foul by the referee.
Xie Chen once again committed two fouls in a single quarter!
However, unlike the previous game, after Xie Chen's two fouls, Luke Wharton did not replace him, which was obviously the result of discussions between the two.
The Timberwolves Sanshao and Da Baibian couldn't understand it, and Hassan looked at Pat Riley and said, "Mr. President, Xie didn't do the right thing tonight." ”
Pat Riley had a smile on his face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"He hit too hard, he didn't restrain at all, if he continued to fight like this, he would leave the field with six fouls again!" Hassan worried.
But Pat Riley looked indifferent, "What about the departure of the six fouls?" ”
"If you leave the court with six fouls, you won't be able to win, and once Xie is off the court, the Thunder will take control of the situation and win the final victory, won't they?" Hassan Whiteside didn't understand what Riley was thinking.
Riley shook his head and said, "I don't think the Lakers won't be able to win after Xie Liu's foul." ”
In everyone's perception, once Xie Chen leaves the court with six fouls, it will be a disaster for the Lakers, and the Thunder will win. But today, Xie Chen is playing a relatively high-end game, he wants to let himself leave the game with six fouls, the Lakers can still win, he wants to keep expanding the score, and when he is off the court, he wants to make the point that the difference is so big that the Thunder can't catch it back!
Pat Riley had already seen Xie Chen's intentions today, but Donovan and the others hadn't.
The Thunder had planned to do their best to score points in the first three quarters, but they still fell behind under such a fierce attack, which made their confidence a little frustrated.
Soon, Xie Chen and Wei Shao also went to rest, and Xie Chen's fouls remained at two in the first quarter.
"Xie Chen's first quarter was really fierce, but fortunately there were only two fouls." Ke Fan was quite fortunate to see Xie Chen's two fouls end the first quarter, just now Xie Chen played with two fouls, which is really worrying, once Xie Chen commits three fouls in a single quarter, it will be really troublesome.
Everyone knows that the Thunder's bench is very fierce and they get into the state quickly, Luke Wharton doesn't want Xie Chen's lead to be caught up during the bench, so he explained to Clarkson and others that they must maintain the score.
Clarkson lived up to everyone's expectations, and when the Thunder wanted to fight back, he used his score to suppress the opponent's momentum, and when Xie Chen played again in the second quarter, the difference was still in double digits.
"Well done, Jordan." Xie Chen praised Clarkson, and he still has to continue to expand the score.
And the Thunder team still takes making Xie Chen foul as the top priority, this time the Thunder attack, Wei Shao holds the ball, Xie Chen defends Grant, the Thunder team is Xie Chen's defense, who will hit, Wei Shao naturally focused on Grant, Grant slipped into the inside, Wei Shao quickly passed the ball over, Grant received the ball, no one under the basket, he got up and dunked with his backhand, while dunking, he was also always paying attention to Xie Chen's movements, he didn't expect to get rid of Xie Chen completely, but hoped that Xie Chen could follow up to stop him, in this case, At the same time, it can cause Xie Chen to foul.
Because Xie Chen is a point guard, his height is at a loss to most of the players on the field, Wei Shao and Oladipo are okay, but when blocking a two-meter player like Jerami Grant, it is very likely that not only will he not be blocked, but the player will foul.
But Xie Chen's bullet speed was amazing, and after jumping, he reached out and pounced on Grant, and at the moment when Grant was about to dunk, he slapped out.
Grant immediately fell to the ground, which was also taught to them by Coach Thunder, as long as Xie Chen had physical contact with them when blocking, they must perform and behave.
But the referee didn't blow the whistle, and the Lakers instead played a fast break.
Coach Donovan was furious and kept complaining to the referee on the sidelines: "That's a foul!" You have to blow this kind of action! ”
But whenever Xie Chen is suspected of committing a foul, Coach Donovan will never let go of arguing with the referee, and the referee can't stand it anymore.
Coach Donovan always paid attention to Xie Chen's fouls, but ignored more fundamental things.
Soon, as he wished, Xie Chen misplaced to defend Adams and fouled to prevent Adams from scoring inside.
Ke Fan said: "Oh, Xie Chen shouldn't start, this ball will let Adams score." ”
"Xie Chen has committed three fouls again, and it happened in the second quarter, and this one is the same as the last one." Su Qun sighed.
On the court, Adams also breathed a sigh of relief after making Xie Chen's third foul, everyone's task progress improved again, and his teammates also stepped forward to high-five him, in this case, Adams lost both free throws.
Even so, no one would say that this foul was worth it, but in Xie Chen's opinion, not letting the Thunder narrow the difference is the most important thing.
Xie Chen continued to launch a crazy attack, at this time, Xie Chen's teammates also opened, and after continuous offensive goals, the Lakers' lead in the second quarter expanded to 20 points!
Su Qun suddenly realized: "Yo, the Lakers lead the Thunder by 20 points at halftime, which is really different from the first game, this point difference is a bit big!" (To be continued.) )
