Chapter 244: Let's Fight!

On April 20, at the American Airlines Arena, the scene was a sea of white, and all fans wore uniforms to cheer for the Miami Heat playing at home.

As the DJ passionately introduced the names of the players on the field, the fans began to cheer and applaud the home players, and the atmosphere reached its highest when they heard the familiar "Chris Shee". Tide, everyone did not hesitate to send applause and cheers to this first-grader, to this kid who has just played the playoffs for the first time in his life.

Xie Chen, who first entered the league, after a whole regular season of training, is no longer that young appearance, plus he deliberately grew a beard, deliberately made himself look more mature, Xie Chen can average 32.1 points per game in the regular season, is the scoring champion of this season, people are looking forward to him continuing to be the scoring champion of the playoffs, and even many fans are betting on which records Xie Chen will break in the first game of the playoffs, and it seems that everyone is not worried that Xie Chen will be nervous and play abnormally......

In fact, Xie Chen was nervous at this moment, extremely nervous.

Standing on the court, feeling the frenzied atmosphere of this scene, Xie Chen's heart was pounding, fortunately, his love would not affect his hit rate, otherwise, with Xie Chen's current situation, there would definitely be some interference.

In addition to Xie Chen, Hassan Whiteside is also a little overwhelmed, but this guy is more excited, while Luo Erdeng, Chalmers, Wade and others are more calm, especially Wade, who is even more than usual [It doesn't matter, let Xie Chen secretly sigh that people who are used to seeing big scenes are different.

Most of the players on the Pacers' side also have playoff experience, so they weren't nervous, but everyone looked serious, Paul George, David West, and everyone had a tense face. Practice shooting silently.

Before the game, a reporter asked Pacers head coach Frank Vogel that the Pacers have fallen in front of the Heat for three consecutive years, and it is very likely that they will be eliminated by the Heat for the fourth consecutive year this year.

Coach Frank laughed and said not at all, because the Pacers are no longer the team that was eliminated 4-2 by the Heat. This year is different from last year, unlike any other year.

Interestingly, Heat coach Coach Spo also responded to this, saying that both the Heat and the Pacers have suffered heavy changes this year, and it is indeed impossible for the two teams to have a 4-2 result like last year, because the Heat will sweep the opponent 4-0.

Coach Spo, who has always kept a low profile and amassed character, rarely said that in his opinion, this Pacers team is no threat to the Heat. How can a team that struggles to climb the door to the playoffs be the No. 1 opponent in the East? Besides, the two teams are already too familiar, the Pacers are not only not getting stronger than last year, but they are also getting weaker correspondingly, Paul George can't play to his peak form, needless to say, even the funny Stephenson that Spo has always cared about is gone. And on the contrary, the Heat though lost James. But he has Xie Chen again.

At the scene, President Riley and the famous Mourning both appeared on the sidelines to watch the game.

Last night, Xie Chen received a lot of cheering and blessing messages, including Katie and Scarlett, who have not been in contact for a long time, and Katie works at ESPN. Xie Chen asked her about the opinions of the people there about this series, but she didn't expect everyone to expect the Pacers to stage the Black Eight Miracle, and said that even if the Heat could win, they would have to play the seventh game, and there would be absolutely no winner within six games.

There has been no news from Scarlett for a long time. Xie Chen expressed his gratitude and asked where the other party was, but Scarlett replied that she was about to start filming the next shot, so she didn't talk to Xie Chen again. Xie Chen always felt that Scarlett was mysterious, but he had to play the next day, and it was still a playoffs, so he didn't think much about it.

The old enemies met again, the Heat players who were fighting at home were wearing classic white and red uniforms, and Xie Chen also wore a white arm guard on his left arm, which was even more handsome.

Soon, the starters from both sides were on the field.

Heat starters: Xie Chen, Wade, Rohr Deng, Haslem, Hassan Whiteside.

Pacers starters: George Hill, CJ Myers, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time Paul George has played a starter since his comeback, and it turned out to be against the Heat in the playoffs! Before the game, George said that the Pacers won the previous battle between the two teams, and the Pacers still have a lot of hope in this series.

Coach Frank and David West also said that among the three aces of the Heat, only Wade has playoff experience, and neither Xie Chen nor Hassan will pay the price in this round of the series!

The game finally began, and the two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and it was Hibbert, who was taller and more imposing, who was better than him, first jumped to the ball, and then, George Hill actually launched a rapid attack, burst into the basket, and to everyone's surprise, he scored two points with a small throw.

Xie Chen was not prepared for defense this time, but he was caught off guard by the opponent, and it seems that the Pacers are really combative.

The Heat team served, Xie Chen patted Wade, let Wade dribble and organize, the Heat are not as anxious to score as the Pacers, starting to win is not winning, who can hold on to the end and still score, is considered powerful.

Coach Frank stared at Xie Chen and secretly cursed the other party in his heart: "I hope you don't have the crazy table of the regular season when you get to the playoffs, it's best to be dumb every game, there are a lot of mistakes in every game, Chris Xie, don't be an obstacle to our team!" ”

For the old opponent Heat, Frank is also very confident, but the only thing that makes him feel at ease is Xie Chen, Xie Chen is too strong, he can shoot and pass, Frank has a way to contain Xie Chen, but he will give other players too many opportunities, Frank doesn't want to do this, the most important thing is that Frank always feels that Xie Chen still has a lot of weapons that he hasn't used, so that Frank doesn't know how to defend!

Just when Frank was standing aside and staring at Xie Chen in front of him with bad intentions, the ball passed to Xie Chen's direction.

Xie Chen ran out of the ball without the ball, and just came to the three-point line, Wade made a strong horizontal pass, and passed the ball directly to Xie Chen's hands, Xie Chen's hands just touched the ball, and he was just about to get up and shoot, who knows, the basketball suddenly took off his hand and flew towards the back of Xie Chen's body!

And then. I only heard a bang, accompanied by a middle-aged man's scream.

β€œouch!” I saw Coach Frank cover his face with his hands and crouch down in pain.

It turned out that the basketball after Xie Chen got rid of his hand smashed directly into Frank's face on the sidelines impartially!

"Oh, coach. Are you okay? David West was the first to rush forward, full of care, and then yelled at Xie Chen: "You kid must have done it on purpose, you are deliberately hurting people, referee, give him a technical foul!" ”

Xie Chen was speechless for a while, and the field fell into chaos less than a minute after it started, so that the fans at the scene couldn't see it clearly, only some children watched it happily. I think it's very interesting.

Xie Chen's ball was indeed caused by nervousness, when he ran out and received the ball, because he was worried that the defender would come forward to block and interfere, so Xie Chen wanted to get the ball and shoot instantly, but he didn't expect to be nervous, the ball did not hold it steady, and went back directly, and it happened to be unfortunate. Frank was in that position and slammed straight into his head.

At last. In order to calm the mood of the players, Frank reassured the players that they were okay, and let the players return to the court to play with peace of mind, but he relaxed for a long time before opening his eyes...... The curse against Xie Chen in his heart became even more fierce.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Pacers team was full of anger and vowed to avenge the coach. Especially Paul George, the next time Xie Chen dribbled, he rushed forward to steal, and the steal was successful, which Xie Chen didn't expect. Xie Chen complained to the referee that the ball was hit, but the referee ignored it, and then watched Paul George dunk successfully.

Seeing George's dunk, the fans at the scene couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Looking at Paul George's competitive state, it seems that he has almost recovered, and it seems that there will be a vicious fight in this series!"

"That's right, as long as Paul George is here, you can't afford to underestimate the ambitions of the Pacers as a team! Xie wasn't quite into the groove yet, and he seemed a little nervous. ”

At the beginning, it was beaten 4:0 by the Pacers, which made it difficult for the Heat to accept, this ball, Xie Chen handed the ball to Wade, Wade singled Myers in the low post, shot a shot, and finally scored the first point in the playoffs.

However, just after taking a breath, the Pacers' George Hill suddenly attacked again, passing Xie Chen in an instant, and then he was like no one, dunking the ball into the basket with one hand!

This goal made Coach Spo furious, and he didn't know where the Heat's defense was? How did Hill be allowed to dunk under the basket so easily?

George Hill is a fast, energetic, and mature athlete who has also played his career-best this season, averaging 16.1 points and 5.1 assists per game in the regular season, as well as a stunner against the Heat, as well as a stunning tomahawk dunk after blocking Birdman Anderson against the Heat.

So Xie Chen's defensive task is very heavy, and he must contain George Hill's score and stick to him to prevent him from entering the basket. And Xie Chen, who has Wei Shao's defensive ability, can certainly do this.

In this way, after five minutes of playing in the first quarter, Xie Chen did not score a point, and made frequent mistakes, except for getting better and better at defending Hill, all the other expressions were like an out-and-out rookie, and Hassan Whiteside was in the same situation as him, Hassan had two fouls on Hibbert as soon as he came up, which made Coach Spo have to replace him early and replace him with Birdman Anderson.

Coach Spo also had to call a timeout because the Heat were already eight points behind.

During the pause, Coach Spo scolded these main players in the players' seat, but he didn't blame Xie Chen, because he knew that Xie Chen was playing the playoffs for the first time, and his mentality would inevitably change, but as long as he adapted to the rhythm, he would slowly get better, but except for Xie Chen, except for Hassan, these people are all veterans with rich playoff experience, which Coach Spo can't allow.

Xie Chen listened very unpleasantly, Wade didn't feel good listening either, and paused to come back, so that everyone was surprised by something.

Xie Chen wanted to attack with the ball, but he didn't expect Wade to suddenly take the initiative to ask for the ball, and then faced CJ Myers, who was taller than him, and suddenly made an accelerated breakthrough, passed the opponent, and forced directly to the basket!

Wade made a lost step layup, not only caused Hibbert's foul in the air, but also scored the ball to complete a 2+1!

"Good shot!"

Xie Chen was the first to clench his fists and applaud, looking at Wade's footsteps just now, it was really free, it didn't look like he was injured at all, it seemed that Wade's injury should be fine!

Wade hit a free throw to close the score.

Immediately after, the Pacers missed the shot, Wade grabbed the rebound, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then changed direction with an acceleration and hit the basket again!

The Pacers contracted their defense and completely blocked Wade's way, at which point Wade used a unique trick he was good at, no longer rushing inside, a quick stop, and no immediate shooting, after stopping the ball, he took a step to the left sideways, and then leaned back slightly to shoot, and then hit!

"Beautiful!" Xie Chen has simply become a Wade fan, stunned, how did Wade play so lightly and freely tonight? These two balls are a bit back to their peak!

Wade hit two good shots in a row, and just when everyone thought that Wade's wonderful performance would not last long, suddenly, Wade predicted Hill's passing route to CJ Myers, intercepted the pass in advance, and then quickly entered the fast attack!

Wade is extremely fast, even Xie Chen, who quickly joined the fast attack, was unexpected, after Wade's successful steal, Xie Chen also wanted to bring the ball over to promote the fast break by himself, but now it seems that it is not necessary at all.

The fast break is 2 against 2, but obviously the Heat players sprint faster, Wade and Xie Chen are already teammates with a tacit understanding, and they don't need to look at each other, the two know what kind of cooperation to do.

Xie Chen also vaguely felt that his first point in the playoffs was coming!

Wade didn't seem to be able to see Xie Chen at all when he was fast attacking, and rushed to the basket regardless of a qiΔ“, the Pacers players were more familiar with Wade's old opponent, and compared to Xie Chen, they were more afraid of Wade's strength, so even if they fouled, Wade couldn't let Wade score, and then, just when the Pacers defenders were sticking to Wade, Wade was close to the basket, but he didn't choose to go to the basket, but threw the ball back high!

Hill saw that the ball was passed to Xie Chen, who followed later, but he was powerless, because the ball was passed too high, and Hill couldn't reach it at all!

Then, I saw Xie Chenjun soaring into the sky like the world, with a resentment that had been held back for a long time, jumping with one foot, catching the ball with both hands, and then sliding to the basket, slamming and slamming violently, completing his aerial relay with Wade and completing his first goal in the playoffs!

The audience cheered in unison, and after Xie Chen's hands were clasped violently, he also made a pull-up movement.

He's telling everyone with his excitement that his scoring show is about to begin! (To be continued......)

ps: Today is the college entrance examination day, I wish all college entrance examination candidates can get their satisfactory results, first take the exam, and then look at the NBA, every year the college entrance examination will hit the NBA finals, remember my college entrance examination year, the Miami Heat won the first championship in team history, after the exam, the Heat still fell behind 0:2, and then watched the immature Wade rush to the basket again and again, and pull the score back one by one, I hope this year's finals can be just as exciting!
