Chapter 293: There is still hope!

Cleveland, no one would have expected the great Michael Jordan to be in the city, is now in a black Mercedes sedan with the driver driving him to the hotel where the Heat are stationed.

Jordan looked out the window at the night through the window, he hadn't been to this place for a long time, and the reason why he pushed aside a matter of coming was just for one person, Xie Chen.

Even Jordan didn't know why he did this, maybe he remembered that at the beginning of the regular season last year, the immature Xie Chen was waiting for him in the underground parking lot in a game jersey and said to him: "I will definitely be as good as you in the future."

Or maybe I saw too much of my shadow in Xie Chen, although he left the NBA, Jordan has been paying attention to the development of the NBA, when Kobe Bryant was troubled by the Qiang Jian case, Jordan personally asked someone to call Kobe Bryant and call him to comfort him.

"Mr. Jordan, do you think you can really help Xie? I mean they're already 0:3 down. The driver, who was driving, suddenly asked more questions halfway.

Jordan, who was sitting in the back seat, came to his senses and smiled: "You mean they are hopeless, right?" But that doesn't mean what I'm doing is meaningless. ”

Maybe in the driver's opinion, the Heat is already 0:3 behind, even if Jordan imparts Xie Chen's experience or experience at this time, it is too late, but how can the purpose of Jordan's trip be understood by a driver?

Jordan is going to sue Xie Chen for the reason why he lost to LeBron James!

It is true that in terms of helpers, James is slightly better than Xie Chen, but this is by no means the key to determining the outcome of the game, the key is still on the two aces of Xie Chen and James.

Xie Chen is known as the "all-round point guard" by the outside world. Assists, scores, rebounds, blocks, steals, three-pointers, and even now pull-up shots, he can do almost anything! Since he is such a perfect player, why did Xie Chen lose to James?

Soon, the car stopped outside the door of a splendid hotel, and Wade personally came to the lobby to greet him. It's not easy to meet Jordan in Cleveland, Wade greeted Jordan very kindly, and couldn't help but say a little jealously: "When I was 0:2 behind, I didn't see you come to comfort me in person, haha." ”

Jordan also smiled: "You have Pat Riley, you don't need me, but Riley can't help Xie, you have to have me." ”

"Okay, I'll take you up to him. He shouldn't have slept yet. "0:3 behind. I believe that Xie Chen, like Wade, has a hard time sleeping, and I don't know if Xie Chen will be startled when he sees Jordan.

took Jordan to the door of Xie Chen's room, Jordan asked Wade before Wade left: "D-WADE, if you were four years ago, would you still have the confidence to reverse the situation today?" ”

Wade paused slightly, then stopped. At this point, Jordan said, "I know the answer." ”

A minute later. In Xie Chen's room, two superstars from different eras sat together.

Xie Chen was very surprised by Jordan's arrival, Jordan is Xie Chen's ultimate idol, Xie Chen felt flattered, but no matter how big the surprise was, it couldn't wash away the pain of defeat and the struggle of not seeing hope. Therefore, Xie Chen's overall state is still very poor.

Jordan didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to the point: "Xie, who do you think is better in terms of your personal strength and impact on the team?" ”

Xie Chen thought for a long time. "Although he is more experienced than me, I think we can be equated. We're on par. ”

"Nope." Jordan vetoed Xie Chen immediately, Xie Chen was stunned, did he feel that he was not qualified to compare with James?

Jordan said: "In fact, you are more powerful than LeBron, your role to the team is greater than LeBron's role to the team, first of all, you have a very good three-point shooting ability, this ability is extremely terrible in the current league system, LeBron does not have, and LeBron has, can do it, you can do it, and we have all seen it, you make good use of the ability you have, so why did you lose to them in three consecutive games?" ”

Xie Chen sat up straight and his eyes widened.

Jordan said: "Because of **!" Your champion is not as strong as him! There's only one reason why everything fails, and that's because it's not strong enough, and when you're strong enough, you can do whatever you want! ”

"Desire. Hope? Xie Chen stayed in place, in a trance for a while.

"Think about what LeBron went through? He returned to Cleveland from Miami and think about how much he was carrying? You don't have the experience of failing to win the championship, you don't know what it's like to be snatched away by others when you enter the finals and the championship trophy is within reach! Of course I didn't. You don't know his ambitions, you don't know how much he wants to be side by side with me, these **, give birth to a stronger him, and you, but you don't have this hunger for the championship. Thirst and lust. Hope! ”

Jordan's words made Xie Chen stunned in place, **? Is it really that important? If Xie Chen** was strong enough, would the ending be different?

At this time, Jordan got up and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it, things in the world are the same, if you can't do one thing, if you want to get something but can't get it, ask yourself, do you really want to get it, how much do you want it?" ”

After Jordan finished speaking, he wanted to leave and let Xie Chen digest it, but Xie Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Michael." ”

Jordan looked at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen said: "Thank you for saying this to me, but we have lost three games in a row now. ”

"What do you want to say?" Jordan asked.

Xie Chen sighed: "No team in history has turned defeat into victory in a 0:3 situation, do you think it is necessary for me to have hope for a reversal?" ”

Jordan smiled: "There is still hope, what if hell it happens?" ”

"Huh?" Xie Chen thought that Jordan would say such inspirational words, but he didn't expect ......

After Jordan left, Xie Chen thought about it alone in the room for a long time, and realized for a long time, Jordan was right, LeBron has experienced too much, and these experiences have prompted him to have a stronger ** than Xie Chen to compete for the championship.

Frankly, 0:3 behind. The game is a team event, even if Xie Chen has confidence in himself, he doesn't dare to say that he can reverse it, and even in the eyes of most people, the elimination of the Heat has become a foregone conclusion, why has no team ever succeeded in reversing 0:3? Because it's impossible!

One team loses three games in a row to another. In fact, it can already show the strength between the two teams, unless the winner wins all three games, since the strength is not as good as the opponent, then losing one more is a high probability event.

So Xie Chen can only take one step at a time now, however, there is no successful 0:3 reversal, but there are those who have played from 0:3 to a 3:3 draw!

Therefore, Xie Chen doesn't need to rush to counterattack now. You can catch up with this goal first, after all, this is what someone has done before.

Moreover, unlike other teams that lost three games in a row, Xie Chen's skills were improved and used at the last moment of the third game, that is to say, the fourth game started to be a completely different battle from before! Of course. Westbrook's pullup jump shot can't be overly important.

The next morning, the Heat came to the hotel room for a large gathering. Coach Spo gathered everyone together and looked at everyone with an angry look on his face: "Tomorrow, many people say it's the last game of the Eastern Conference Finals, as the No. 1 in the East, as the second-game winning streak holder in history, if in this series." We can't win a single win, what qualifications do we have to face our fans, our regular season record and pride! ”

"Therefore, I will tell you strictly today if you lose tomorrow. All of you are going to run around the gym for me all night until I can't run! ”

I don't know if what Coach Spo said is true or false, but Xie Chen has never seen him so angry, Spo's current mood is that he can accept being eliminated, but he will never accept being swept 4:0, as the first in the East, as a team with two star players in the league, this is a shame for the Heat!

After Coach Spo's stimulation, everyone clenched their fists, vowing to win back a game in the next game, and they still had to fight for their own face!

On this day, it is the third game of the Eastern Conference finals between the Rockets and the Warriors, speaking of which, Xie Chen and Harden are also difficult brothers, Harden actually repeated Xie Chen's mistakes, and today, he also lost to the Warriors again, and like the Heat, he fell behind the opponent 0:3, and there was no hope in the series.

Tonight's Stephen Curry is brilliant, breaking the playoff three-point record of Miller, who was previously broken by Xie Chen, as soon as he started, and then, he broke Xie Chen's record again and set a new three-point goal record, people are extremely optimistic that Curry will be the holder of the final record, the reason is very simple, the Warriors can enter the Finals, which means that Curry has to play at least four games, while the Heat cannot get the opportunity to play so many games.

Of course, this record is worthless compared to the championship, but Curry was pressed by Xie Chen for the entire regular season, and it is also very dark that he can get back points in the playoffs.

Eastern Conference finals, there is not much time to rest, the next day is the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Heat, in the morning, Xie Chen answered the phone call connected to Katie and Scarlett, needless to say, they all comforted Xie Chen and let Xie Chen relax and play, of course, they also said, "No matter whether you win or lose, you are the hero in my heart", but the more they said this, the more uncomfortable Xie Chen felt in his heart.

Cleveland, Quick Loan Arena.

The whole atmosphere made the Heat feel suffocated, and everyone seemed to have celebrated the Cavaliers' victory in the Eastern Conference in advance, and even, the Eastern Conference champion's hat and clothes had been moved to the court in a grand manner, which was a huge thrill for the whole Heat team!

O'Neal said that there were only two results in this game, first, the Cavaliers won by a big score, the Heat collapsed, and the Cavaliers won the Eastern Conference championship, and second, the Heat won by a big score, the Cavaliers gave up, and the Heat caught up with the first game.

This statement has been unanimously recognized by many experts and fans, because the fourth game is too different from the previous three games, especially the mood of the players, once the Cavaliers take a big lead, the Heat players are likely to give up, because in their hearts they will feel that even if they try their best to catch it back, the whole series will still lose sooner or later.

And once the Heat leads by a big score, the Cavaliers will feel that there is no need to try their best to catch it back, and the series is a solid victory anyway.

James talked a lot today, as soon as he entered the stadium, he chatted with the fans and the audience, chatted with his teammates, laughed before the game, and took the initiative to talk to Xie Chen: "Xie, I enjoy this series with you very much, you are very good, you don't know how much I love you, I mean, appreciate you." ”

Xie Chen said in a flat tone: "Why are you telling me this? The series isn't over yet. ”

James smiled: "Haha, yes, it's not over yet, keep up the good work!" ”

It is conceivable how unhappy Xie Chen is to see James getting carried away now, but James has been relieved so early, which is a good thing for the Heat and Xie Chen.

The game started quickly, and in this game, Rohr Deng returned and Wade was suspended for one game.

"Roll Deng came back tonight, I heard that he can limit LeBron very well, but Dwyane Wade, another big ace of the Heat, is suspended, hehe, relying on Xie alone, I'm afraid this game will lose again."

"Of course, I can't wait to celebrate the Cavaliers' march to the Finals, it seems like the Warriors will advance in the West, we have LeBron and Irving, and it's easy to deal with the Warriors, and this year's championship belongs to us! Ha ha! ”

Cavaliers fans have already begun to be whimsical, and I believe that if they are heard by Warriors fans at this time, they will definitely fight.

Xie Chen knows the difference and importance of the fourth game, so his first task tonight is to ensure that the team concedes no more than double digits, and in addition, it is to open up the score as much as possible, once the score is opened, the offensive ** on the Cavaliers' side will be reduced.

Sure enough, although the Heat team lacked Wade, under the stimulation of Coach Spo, everyone tried their best, whether it was offense or defense, whether it was breaking through or grabbing rebounds, they all fought very fiercely, and they led the Cavaliers by 8 points as soon as they came up.

Of course, James knew that he couldn't let the team fall behind too much, so he started chasing points and didn't assist his teammates, but with James's strength alone, it was difficult to really turn the score around, not to mention, there was Luo Er Deng defending him today.

On the contrary, Xie Chen on the Heat's side is still unstoppable, whether it is Irving, Della, or JR, it is difficult to limit him, especially tonight's Xie Chen's playing style is different from the past few games.

"Oh! Oops, was stealed! What the? He didn't even choose to go to the basket, that's ...... Another pull-up jumper? Hit again? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, why did Xie Chen use the pull-up jump shot frequently tonight? And the hit rate is so impressive!

Now, Xie Chen's Westbrook pull-up jump shot skill integration has reached 100%, of course, he must make good use of it.

James was shocked in his heart: "The quasi-lore he shot in the last game turned out to be not Meng!" (To be continued......)
