Fighting at home, Xie Chen doesn't have to worry about physical fitness, continuous combat is not a problem for Xie Chen at all, he has long been used to playing two games in a row, he doesn't need to rest at all, even if he is really tired, it can't affect his shooting percentage.

The Knicks made a strange move, which caught the Warriors off guard, and made Curry, who was resting off the court, a little uncontrollable, and it was not a comfortable thing to watch his sworn enemy abuse his bench teammates on the court.

"If we get to this point, maybe I'll do the same." Curry can understand Xie Chen's mood of resisting to the death, if the Warriors are won by the opponent to get the match point, then Curry's fighting spirit will not be less than Xie Chen.

Once Xie Chen was able to win the game 0:3 behind his opponent in the series, and the Warriors would never dare to take it lightly.

Xie Chen stayed up on the court until the strongest lineup of the Warriors had not yet rested, and the Warriors also began to fight back wildly in the second half of the second quarter, everyone thought that Xie Chen had been so consumed on the court, and had scored a lot of goals before, but he would not be able to shoot at this moment, but what was surprising was that Xie Chen's shooting was still very stable, and as long as there was an opportunity, he could basically hit.

Yang Jian was surprised: "Yo, Xie Chen's shooting feel is really good, it seems that he really played hard today, but I don't know if Xie Chen can hold it at the end of the game." ”

Director Zhang Weiping also spoke: "Don't be so pessimistic, according to Xie Chen's shooting rate, maybe the Knicks will win the Warriors in the third quarter, if they can lead by a lot of points, then it will not affect the physical fitness problem in the end." And the Knicks still have Anthony. ”

Zhang Weiping is right, including the fans at the scene, think so, first try to lead the score, it is best to make the game have no suspense early, but the Warriors are obviously not a team that will be easily defeated.

There was a minute and a half left in the second quarter. The Knicks are still 15 points ahead of the Warriors, Curry looked at Xie Chen, who didn't rest for a minute, and then at Knicks coach Fisher, neither of them let Xie Chen go off, Curry couldn't help but ask Xie Chen: "You guy, really plan to play the first half?" ”

"Can't you?" Xie Chen replied coldly.

"You've got it! But don't get complacent too soon, we just need to catch up in the second half. You're done! Curry also did not show weakness, he felt that Xie Chen's style of play was too desperate, Xie Chen is not an iron man, he will definitely be tired of being used in such a way, this year's Thunder playoffs, Coach Donois has been using Dewey two less, and Durant has been used for three shots.

The two had just finished spraying each other, and Xie Chen immediately staged an empty windmill storm. After dunking the basket, Xie Chen responded to Curry: "Let's talk about it if we can catch up." ”

Curry is very angry, if it is a matchup in the regular season, Curry will respond to Xie Chen by himself, but he can't do this in the finals, Klay Thompson can come nonsense, because he is a person who finishes the offense, Curry can't. The whole team has to rely on him to revitalize, and he has to find the most suitable point of attack.

It's scary when a team like the Warriors is scary. Especially the kind of confidence and winner's aura that each of them has in them, even if they are 20 points behind, they will not disappear, but when the opponent's defense is doing well, they don't have much to do, the Warriors have superstars, but there are no superstars who can score goals unreasonably under high-intensity defense.

Jordan, Kobe, LeBron James can do it. But Curry and Thompson can't do that, and that's the difference between the two superstars.

Speaking of which, it's also a gap in physical talent. The biggest benefit of physical talent is hitting the basketball when the opponent is clearly defending, Kevin Durant is an example, and the Warriors have to rely on the group at all times.

The Warriors failed to score on their last two offenses. In the end, Xie Chen was left with a chance to shoot three points, Xie Chen shot at the last second, and he was still able to hit the shot!

At halftime, the Knicks led the Warriors by a full 20 points!

The audience roared with a tsunami, and Yang Jian exclaimed: "Xie Chen played a full two quarters, I have always been worried that he is tired, but I didn't expect to hit a super long three-point shot at the last second of the half, oh my God, this is not even possible to touch the frame if you want to change others, right?" ”

Zhang Weiping also expressed his surprise: "It's true, some time ago, I was tired of watching Durant and threw three non-sticks, Xie Chen's physical strength is really amazing!" ”

At halftime, the Knicks led the Warriors by a full twenty points, which embarrassed those who were here to celebrate the Warriors' championship, and the staff who were ready to carry the boxes with the Warriors' championship jerseys and caps to the court at any time also felt that they didn't have to do this tonight?

Bill Russell also complained to Adam Shaw: "Mr. President, you let my old guy run for nothing, you really don't understand the hard work of the elderly, it seems that I have to fly to Auckland with you once." ”

Adam Xiaohua also smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Russell, I didn't expect them to be so tenacious, but in the second half, it is estimated that Xie's physical fitness will be problematic, and the Warriors may reverse the score at any time." ”

Russell replied: "I don't know if the Golden State Warriors can turn the score around, but I look at an old man who has played basketball all his life, and Chris Shet, that kid, even if he played the whole half, is in better physical condition than anyone else." ”

……

Knicks locker room.

"Thanks, how do you feel?" Fisher handed Xie Chen a towel.

Xie Chen wiped it on his face after taking it, and replied, "I'm fine, I still have to play in the third quarter." ”

Hearing Xie Chen say this, the other players of the Knicks were stunned for a moment, and Porzingis looked at Xie Chen with adoring eyes, it's too good, right? It's not enough to play the first half, but to play the full three quarters? Do you really want to play the whole game? That's going to make history!

At this time, Anthony also said: "The third quarter is very important, we can't give them a chance to catch up, and I have to play the third quarter as well." ”

"Me too." Derek Williams said.

Porzin Giston paused for a moment and said, "Coach, I can too." ”

Ci Shiping, who has always wanted to appear on the finals stage, said: "I think we need to calm down now. ”

……

At half-time, the referees were not idle, as the referees of the game, they had to run back and forth on both sides of the court at all times, and they had to have the most correct judgment for every ball and every sudden situation at the first time, whether it was physical or mental consumption. They are all very big, and the referees are not as old as the athletes, so this "consumption" is not small for them.

However, when the referee was at halftime, he didn't just rest and drink water to replenish his strength. They also have serious things to do.

At this time, the three referees came together to discuss what might happen in the second half.

Being a playoff referee is not an easy task, and you must have at least seven years of NBA refereeing experience to qualify as a playoff referee.

Referee Dan Crawford said to the other two referees: "The Knicks' zero is very emotional tonight, and he has played the whole first half, he may continue to play the second half in order to win, and then his shooting may become inaccurate due to fitness, and I predict that his offense will get closer and closer to the basket, and you will have to keep an eye on his movements under the basket." When necessary, we need to blow him for a series of offensive fouls to calm him down. ”

These referees have not dealt with Xie Chen once or twice, Xie Chen has many times rushed to the basket and turned on his back, knocking the defender to the ground, and they also helped Xie Chen blow a lot of 2+1, but they have to be cautious in this game, a 193CM guard, it can't be someone else's fault every time, right?

The third quarter began quickly. Xie Chen also continued to fight on the field as everyone expected. There was no appearance of going to rest, and the Warriors also began to fight back, quickly chasing 12 points, and then, Anthony and Xie Chen scored one after another to stabilize the difference. Didn't let the Warriors chase into the single digits.

After listening to the referee's words, the three referees paid attention to Xie Chen's attack on the basket, but Xie Chen's outside line was still very accurate, and he did not go to the basket to cheat and foul, which surprised the three referees. But it was also more relaxed, because at that time, Xie Chen couldn't score points when he was in a hurry, and he wanted to go to the basket to make a foul, and they didn't know whether to give it or not, if it was still Xie Chen's offensive foul, then it would be lively, with Xie Chen's violent temper, he might scold each other with the referee, although the referee could give Xie Chen a technical foul, but they didn't want a superstar to be so jealous and curse them.

Seeing that the third quarter was about to end, and the Warriors were still 17 points behind, Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh: "The Warriors have really used all the tricks they can use in this section, and the restrictions on Xie Chen are as strong as ever, but they still can't stop Xie Chen, Xie Chen has already scored 46 points in the third quarter, and there is no tendency to be tired at all!" ”

Zhang Weiping was also amazed: "It's amazing, it's really a strange person!" I've seen the whole game, but I've never seen the whole game and still shoot so accurately, the Knicks and the Warriors really fought today, as if to say, I know you have a lot of good players, we just have a few, but we just play these few, and we have been consuming you like this. ”

Coach Cole's thoughts are also very chaotic, his original plan was to let Xie Chen's score be less than 30 points, but now he has not done it, Xie Chen has been on the court for too long, almost every attack is handled by him, and most of it is scored by him, and now Cole can only wait for Xie Chen's physical fitness to decline.

In the fourth quarter, Coach Kerr angrily told his players, "Our chances are going to come in the final quarter, keep your focus at all times, and seize them when they come!" I don't want to go back to my home stadium and win the championship, I want to win tonight, hear me, it's tonight! We're still a dozen points behind, go chase me back with that damn difference! ”

Coach Kerr, who has always been funny and humorous, rarely loses his temper and talks to the players like this, because he knows very well that once he is dragged by the Knicks to the tiebreaker, even if the Warriors are at home, all the variables are too great, and he must strive to end the series tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Cole kept staring at Xie Chen, and kept muttering in his heart: "I don't believe that you are not tired!" ”

Xie Chen rarely fights for a minute without rest, and there must be tiredness, after all, this is the finals, the physical confrontation is too strong, plus the Warriors give Xie Chen such a strong defense, but no matter how tired he is, Xie Chen's shooting percentage will not be affected, which is why he insists on being on the court!

"At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were still the main lineup! Xie Chen is really going to play the whole game! Yang Jian said.

The Warriors put on a five-small lineup of death, scored wildly as soon as they came up, and put pressure on the Knicks, and this time is the time to really test Xie Chen.

"I don't know if Xie is still good......" Even the fans at the scene had doubts about Xie Chen's physical fitness.

And it just so happened that Xie Chen's mid-range shot was not scored, not because of his physical fitness, but because he was purely unlucky.

Then, someone began to panic and say, "It's over, there's something wrong with Xie Physique!" His shots are starting to be inaccurate! ”

Maybe it's because Xie Chen has been playing for too long, just one shot off the ball makes everyone start to think about bad results, these guys from the Warriors also think the same, just like the coach said, they are waiting for this opportunity, and now, the opportunity has come!

Soon, Klay Thompson forced a breakthrough layup, Xie Chen had a very good grasp of Thompson, knowing when he scored and when he passed, this time it was obvious that he had to do it himself, so he chased Thompson and staged a big hat!

"Good hat! It turned out to be sent by Xie! ”

The offense is not over yet, Xie Chen's hat was delivered to Barnes, a member of the Warriors, Barnes leaned back to shoot, Xie Chen caught up again, and another big hat blocked Barnes's shot!

"Oh my God! Barnes shot covered! Xie has two blocks in a row! ”

Is this like a person with physical problems?

Xie Chen got the basketball, went straight to the front court alone, two or three people ran to Xie Chen, but the speed was not as fast as Xie Chen, and finally, Xie Chen used a backward jumper to tell everyone that his shooting was still so accurate!

"How is this possible!" Coach Kerr was stunned, blocked two consecutive hats and then rushed to the front court to hit a step-back jumper, which was almost like he had just come on the court.

"My series isn't over yet!" After Xie Chen threw in, he shouted angrily.

When people looked at Xie Chen again, they were not amazed by his superhuman physical fitness, but by his five-body throw in admiration for his desire for the championship, only a person who loves the championship so much can do such an unbearable thing.

In the final two minutes, the Knicks still led by 15 points! There is basically no suspense in the game.

Anthony said to Xie Chen, "Brother, leave it to me." ”

Xie Chen nodded, and was replaced for the first time in this game, and the audience all gave a standing ovation and shouted MVP.

Xie Chen was also very excited to win this game, and he shouted to all the fans: "Wait for me to bring back the championship trophy!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Congratulations to the Cavaliers for advancing to the finals!
