Wade asked a question that made Stephen Curry feel very difficult, because the teams they belong to, the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors, are still in the playoffs, and both are in the lead of the series, maybe the Finals is the two teams competing for each other, as potential Finals opponents, it is really unreasonable to let the Warriors ace Curry share his weaknesses with the opponent.

Curry finally understood why Wade said he wouldn't be willing to answer.

Curry paused, then digressed and asked, "What is your intention in asking me this question?" ”

Wade didn't hide it: "You also know we're playing against the New York Knicks, Shea is crazy, we need to find a way to limit him, I think his three-point shot has a lot of similarities with yours, so I want to find a way to defend him from you." ”

Curry suddenly felt very ridiculous: "D-WADE, you have always been very mature and calm, how can you do such a ridiculous thing?" Chris Shea is Chris Shet, I am me, even if the shooting posture is similar and the shooting percentage is about the same, it doesn't mean that we are the same, my weakness is not necessarily his weakness, we are two completely different people! ”

How could Wade not know that Curry is Curry and Xie Chen is Xie Chen! However, after staying with Xie Chen for a season, he really felt that Xie Chen's ability was too similar to Curry, as if he had taken it directly from Curry.

"I know it's ridiculous...... Stephen, you're our opponent too, and even if you don't say it, I can totally understand you. Wade said slowly.

Stephen Curry fell into hesitation and embarrassment, you know, Xie Chen is his biggest opponent in the NBA! Last season, Xie Chen didn't have any MVP and championship, but this season he just got back an MVP, and the championship is what he wants most.

Xie Chen's games against the Heat, Curry also watched them. It's simply omnipotent, Curry is stunned, if the Heat can really use the current advantage to defeat the Knicks, Curry is very confident that he can win whether he faces the Cavaliers or the Heat in the Finals, and he is sure that he can win within six games. But in the face of Xie Chen's Knicks, it is difficult for him to guarantee, God knows if Xie Chen will explode 50+ in the finals!

Curry has always been curious about Xie Chen's ability, even if the Heat failed to stop Xie Chen's footsteps, Curry can also use this opportunity to see if Xie Chen's three points are exactly the same as his own, to see if the weaknesses and advantages of the two are exactly the same, if so, Curry will know how to prevent Xie Chen in the finals.

Hesitation. Curry finally spoke: "You are a great team, you have always been my most envious star, you have not missed the Finals every year in the past few years, and I hope to see you in the Finals this year." Okay, I'll tell you frankly, my three-point shot is not in a weak position, and I have no dead ends in my offense now! ”

"......" Wade saw Curry and wanted to reveal the truth. I was still very excited, but I didn't expect this guy to come to such a boastful sentence.

"Uh...... Of course I know you're shooting anywhere right now. I mean, relatively, relatively weak, forgive me for the misnomer......" Wade also had to verbally curry favor with the league's hottest star.

Curry also stopped putting on a show, and finally had a showdown with Wade: "Last season, I didn't shoot very well from three-point angles on the left and right wings at a 45-degree angle, but now I don't have any problems. The only place where I didn't have a high shooting percentage in training was at the top of the arc. ”

"Arc top position?" Wade was surprised.

Curry continued: "That's right, but what I'll tell you is that the position I'm talking about shooting inaccurately is at the three-point line, further back. The more accurate! ALL THE WAY TO THE POSITION OF THE MIDCOURT LOGO, THE SHOOTING RATE IS STILL HIGHER THAN THAT OF STEPPING ON THE THREE-POINT LINE! ”

Wade was completely shocked when he heard this, and there is such a thing? The farther you are from the basket, the more accurate your shot will be? Curry isn't playing himself, is he?

Curry explained: "This is also a problem that I only recently discovered, because at the top of the arc near the three-point line, the opponent's defense against me is so tight, it is almost impossible for me to have an open position there, and my shots after dribbling to get rid of the opponent on the line are at a 45-degree angle on the left wing and the right wing, very rarely in front of the basket, so there is less practice in this area, and the shooting percentage has decreased, but I have been practicing at a longer distance, and even in the midfield, as long as there is no interference, I can shoot above 60 percent from the field, but I can't step on the three-point line at the top of the arc. I've shot so many long-range threes this season that I've forgotten how hard to shoot so close. ”

As a "three-point scumbag" who doesn't dare to shoot three-pointers from close range, Wade said that talking to Curry was really devastating, and Wade expressed his heartfelt thanks to Curry: "I can't understand the things of you three-point geniuses, since you said that it is close to the top of the arc at the three-point line, then I will lead him there to shoot, I hope the characteristics of the two of you will be the same." ”

Curry also wants to know if this is the case, Xie Chen rarely shoots three-pointers at the top of the arc this season, and it is not much value to check the data, thinking of Xie Chen, Curry does not feel a little messy, and takes this opportunity to ask Wade: "I have a question for you, when he was in the Heat last season, did he keep watching videos to imitate me?" ”

Curry was honest with him, and Wade didn't hide it from him: "Yes, he watched your videos a lot and watched the way you played, but he didn't do it all the time, and in fact, his three-point shooting was great for him to practice in the second half of the season." ”

"What?" Curry was completely shocked, Xie Chen didn't practice much three-pointers? So how did he keep such a hot touch? Curry's ability to do this crazy thing is completely dependent on him training more than others, and he never stops every day.

Was Xie Chen's talent too strong, or was he deliberately training secretly in private?

Curry became more curious about Xie Chen.

……

New York, Madison Square Garden, Heat & Knicks, Game 4!

It's still a crowded scene, it's still crazy and excited cheers, this is the enjoyment that competitive sports bring, and if a sport wants to attract people, it must have superstars, which used to be Michael Jordan and Kobe. Now it's Xie Chen.

Too many people want to come to New York for the pilgrimage, whether it is a star of other sports or a star in the entertainment industry, no matter how expensive the ticket is, they can always afford to come and enjoy Xie Chen's madness.

There are not many players who reach the peak of their careers in the second season, and the most frightening thing is that people are not sure if this is Xie Chen's limit, if he can score 50 points in two consecutive games in the playoffs. Then Xie Chen really exceeded everyone's expectations.

Stephen Curry of the Warriors and LeBron James of the Cavaliers, who did not play today, are also watching the game on their respective roads.

Stephen Curry is especially serious tonight, because he wants to see if Wade will defend Xie Chen like that, and if so, whether Xie Chen will perform as he expected.

"No matter how similar we are, we can't be exactly the same." Curry thought to himself.

After the game started, for the first offense, Xie Chen found that it was Wade who defended him, and at this time, Xie Chen didn't know that the Heat planned to use Wade to stare at him for the whole game. didn't care too much, he had to win this game, because the home advantage was too precious to him, once he returned to the away stadium and had to play a legendary team, Xie Chen would not be so sure, and he would go all out in this game. There is no excuse for losing.

However, as soon as he came up, Xie Chen didn't plan to directly single Wade to score points. He hadn't been in attack mode that fast.

First of all, Xie Chen held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, Lopez was low in front of Xie Chen, and Anthony was near the bottom corner on the left, and the three formed a strong triangle on the sideline, although Anthony was in addition to Xie Chen. The Knicks are the most threatening point, but in such a triangle offensive mode, generally speaking, they don't pass directly to the bottom corner, even if it is passed to Anthony, Lopez has to come up and cover Anthony again.

Xie Chen wanted to pass back to Derrick Williams at the top of the arc. found that Dragic, who was defending him, was eager to try and wanted to cut off Xie Chen's pass, since he didn't let the pass, Xie Chen gave Porzingis a look and asked Porzingis to come up from the weak side, Porzingis immediately stepped forward, and Xie Chen passed the ball to Porzingis.

At the same time, Derrick Williams, who was at the top of the arc, quickly cut inside, and after Porzingis got the ball, a back-of-head pass was lost to Williams, and Williams successfully hit the inside territory, a light pick-and-roll, and Dragic couldn't block it at all.

Since you use Wade to defend me, then I will use Derrick Williams to fight Dragic, this is Xie Chen's countermeasure.

Dragic completely lost to Derrick Williams in terms of height, confrontation, speed and explosiveness, as long as the right opportunity arises, it is too easy for Derrick Williams to score.

"Chris Shea is terrible, and Porzingis and Derek Williams, these two guys are also very good, many people think that the Knicks only have Xie and Anthony, it's really wrong, sometimes, Porzingis and Derrick Williams play a bigger role than Anthony, Phil really deserves to be a Zen master, and he actually chose these two people to match Xie." The Heat coach also paid tribute to Phil Jackson.

Porzingis was not favored when he was drafted, but now, he is simply too suitable for this team, Porzingis has a very high basketball IQ, he knows how to handle the ball, and as such a tall interior player, he also has a good three-point shot, which is really helpful to Xie Chen.

The same goes for Derek Williams, whose impact is perfectly matched with Xie Chen.

After that, the Knicks tried their best to organize the offense with the triangle offense as the core to find the most suitable shooting point, and Xie Chen gradually found that the Heat didn't seem to want to score two points.

Once Xie Chen forms a single situation with Wade in the low post, unless Xie Chen pulls it up and shoots, he will soon be caught before he shoots, and once Xie Chen holds the ball, the opponent will shrink the defense, and it will be difficult for Xie Chen to break through to the basket or dunk as easily as in the first two games.

If you don't let you shoot two points, Xie Chen will shoot three points, this is an easy problem to solve.

After playing for a few minutes, Xie Chen also felt that he should throw a few three-pointers to break the dull atmosphere and increase the score, so he began to jump outside the three-point line.

"It's coming." Wade could see from Xie Chen's eyes what Xie Chen wanted to do.

Stephen Curry likes where to shoot three points the most, Xie Chen doesn't know, anyway, Xie Chen likes to shoot three-pointers one-on-one with people at a 45-degree angle on the right side, he doesn't like to be on the left, this is Xie Chen's personal habit, plus the shooting rate is also good, Xie Chen is even more accustomed to doing this.

And for Xie Chen's habits, how could Wade, his best brother, not know?

"This is Xie's favorite position to attack." Wade is ready to defend.

Xie Chen slowly dribbled the ball, and when he saw Porzingis stepping forward to cover, he used Porzingis to block Wade, but the quality of Porzingis' cover was not high, and Wade quickly stepped forward to stick to Xie Chen again.

Xie Chen waved his hand at Porzingis and asked him to leave, he didn't need any cover, just fight Wade like this!

Xie Chen dribbled back and forth under his crotch, constantly shaking his shoulders to confuse Wade, and Wade was also "fooled" every time, following Xie Chen left and right, but never lost Xie Chen. Wade stuck Xie Chen too tightly, because he knew that Xie Chen was going to shoot three points!

After Xie Chen changed direction again, Wade sensed that this might be the end of the story.

"I'm going to vote!" Wade judged in advance that Xie Chen was going to make a move, and quickly reached out to interfere, and Xie Chen really shot three points quickly after this dribble, although it was not blocked, but it was greatly interfered with.

Bang.

The basketball pops out of the frame.

Coach Spo nodded with satisfaction: "Wade is really the person who knows Xie the most, maybe Wade is not one of the top ten defensive players in the league now, but he is ranked first in the league when it comes to Xie." ”

Xie Chen also had to admit that Wade defended himself very well, the two were too close in the past, and they talked about everything, all of Xie Chen's offensive routines and techniques were discussed with Wade, and some were even taught to him by Wade.

Xie Chen could break through Wade, but Wade obviously wanted Xie Chen to do that.

But fortunately, although the three-point shot was not shot this time, the rebound was picked up by Lopez of the Knicks.

Xie Chen quickly moved two steps to the left, standing at the top of the arc to receive the ball again. He's going to hit Wade one more time.

Coming to the top of the arc, Wade looked down and saw that Xie Chen happened to be standing at the three-point line, is this the unsafe area that Curry said?

Wade was a little uneasy, but decided to give it a try.

Xie Chen paused for two seconds after holding the ball, and suddenly was shocked: "Oh? This time Wade didn't stick close? (To be continued.) )
