Chapter 525: Kill the Legend Heat!
This time to play the legendary Heat, and the last time to play the legendary Heat, the biggest difference is in Dwyane Wade, the last time Wade was in extraordinary physical health, he is simply an omnipotent Flash, but this season's Wade has a lot of health problems.
Xie Chen still remembers that after the Heat defeated the Spurs to win the championship this season, the NBA official persuaded Wade to go to the interview place for an interview, but Wade didn't want to move, he sat in the corridor outside the locker room, wearing a championship cap on his head, a cigar in his mouth, and champagne in his right hand, and the championship trophy was placed between his legs, and he poured champagne on his knees.
That scene left a deep impression on Xie Chen.
This season, especially in the playoffs, Wade was plagued by a knee injury, so the performance was bumpy and undulating, people only saw his excellent performance in the tie-break, but they didn't know that he was suffering from unbearable pain on the field, Wade's biggest problem in the knee was a bone contusion, which did not require surgery, but it took a long time to recuperate.
For basketball players, especially players of Wade's type, it is no longer necessary to say how important the knee is.
So Xie Chen must grasp Wade's weakness, if the Big Three don't have Wade's anti-sky play, it is not the top strong team and can be defeated, but Xie Chen's Knicks are not very strong, and Xie Chen can't be too confident.
At the beginning of the game, Wade didn't show much struggle, using keen observation to break a ball in the high post, as long as Wade broke the ball, James on the other side must have rushed to the front court, irresponsiblely speaking, it is better to block Wade's way than to block James's way.
Although he knew that the ball would be passed to James in the end, there was no way, Xie Chen still had to follow Wade, who was holding the ball. After Wade broke the ball, the ball almost reached the sideline, Wade can always stand in the best position in such a narrow position to avoid stepping on the line, and if he is someone else, his body may have lost his balance long ago.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Wade really threw the ball to the rebound, and Xie Chen didn't do anything more, only to watch LeBron James fly up from behind and dunk with both hands. James' dunk was very violent, and as he lifted his leg, the ball jumped straight into his knee.
James has had a lot of wonderful dunks this season, all of which are assists from teammates, some like the two-handed dunk just now, and the two-handed back dunk, and it is worth mentioning that the "death dunk" of Dunkrie, who was listed as the best dunk of his career, was in this crazy season.
In fact. Until 2016, James still misses that season very much. They have done so many things together, they have achieved so much, 27 consecutive wins, the second championship of their career, the second FMVP, but unfortunately they did not have three consecutive championships, which is the biggest regret of his life.
But. What can James do? First, the damn ATT arena power system failed, and the lack of air conditioning made it impossible for James to adapt. James had leg cramps even more, and after that, he lost to the Spurs by 19 points, 21 points, and 17 points, which was completely the hanging of the Finals.
Xie Chen looked at James on the court, he was smiling with Wade, at this time he didn't know the fate of the next two years. He deserves to think that he can win the next championship, and Xie Chen also wants to let them know in this game that the Big Three of the Heat are just a flash in the pan and cannot become a dynasty that dominates the league.
Xie Chen has a lot of energy, and he can fight back against opponents in various ways, the first of which is of course Stephen Curry's BT three-pointer. It doesn't matter if you miss once, it doesn't matter if you miss twice, you will definitely hit the next time, no matter how far away you are or how outrageous your vote is.
The legendary Heat gradually realized the threat of Xie Chen's outside three-point, so they adopted a tighter defense against Xie Chen, as soon as Xie Chen came up and held the ball two steps away from the three-point line, the defenders did not reach out, that is, put their hands underneath, specifically to prevent breakthroughs, but with Xie Chen's continuous shooting, as long as Xie Chen took the ball, there must be a hand interfering with Xie Chen.
However, this level of interference has no effect at all, and when you pull it up, you will shoot, or hit! Xie Chen made Lei Allen, who was defending him, very helpless.
"How can there be such a three-point shooter! This simply makes no sense! Heat's Lei Allen was stunned, Xie Chen's three-point ability to hold the ball is too strong, Lei Allen has never encountered it before, both of them are three-point masters, but they are two different styles.
Xie Chen's BT quasi-three-point did once give the Knicks a lot of points ahead of the Heat, but James's bulldozer-style domineering layups also pulled the score back again and again, and the game went on for three quarters, and there was still a feeling of stalemate, but this time it obviously made Xie Chen feel the hope of winning, because Dwyanwade was as he expected, he did suffer from knee troubles, his performance was not very ideal, and he had already committed four rules.
"Man, it's just one game, there's no need to fight like this, if the injury becomes serious, it's going to be troublesome." There was a problem with the timer, and Xie Chen took the opportunity to chat with Wade.
Wade sneered: "You want me to let you win in this way?" You are so naïve. ”
Xie Chen continued: "Do you remember the name James Blair? ”
“JamesBlair?” Wade frowned and pondered, "Why does it seem familiar?" Oh, I remember, isn't this guy named James Blair the same fan who suddenly rushed to LeBron James when he was playing the Cavaliers away the other day? Hahaha, that fan is quite persistent. ”
James Blair once had a game this season, in the fourth quarter, suddenly rushed to the court, causing the game to fall into a pause, the security guards were all startled, and instantly appeared in time to stop him, James Blair was running for James, and then wrote on his clothes: "2014, come back!" ”
James was also shocked at the time, but after seeing the words on the fan's clothes, he was very moved, and took the initiative to reach out to shake his hand, and then the two followed each other on Twitter.
Xie Chen said to Wade: "He is not obsessed, but the wishes of this fan will really come true." James will leave you. ”
Wade became silent because he didn't know exactly what decision James would make, and the two were great teammates. is not the most compatible teammate.
Maybe it was Xie Chen's words that made Wade feel very confused, and then Wade made a mistake, and was played a beautiful fast break by Xie Chen, in the fourth quarter, Xie Chen directly caused Wade to leave the court full of fouls!
Among the Big Three, there is one less threat! The Knicks are still in the lead. That's a good thing.
LeBron James's expression was a little heavy, he glanced at Xie Chen coldly, and said secretly: "This guy is so powerful, his three points will probably continue to be so accurate, if you want to chase points, it seems that I can't rely on my strength alone." ”
The opponent has three points, but only Xie Chen has three points, and everyone else doesn't shoot much, and the legendary Heat team also has three points. Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Battier, including Chalmers and James himself, can also make a shot.
James' domineering breakthrough again instantly attracted the pinch of two defenders, James did not stop, but did not hard, but distributed the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner, and the Knicks hurriedly went over to make up for the defense. Ray Allen has already shot, and Williams, who is making up the defense, also hit Ray Allen. Ray Allen fell with the trend, 3+1!
The scene immediately boiled.
Xie Chen is also very helpless, before the current fans are extremely keen on Stephen Curry's three points, everyone gets pleasure from Ray Allen, Ray Allen's three points are very accurate and cold-blooded. It's not as domineering as Curry, but it can pierce your heart at a critical moment.
With the three-point rain coming on the side of the legendary Heat. The score difference is also getting closer.
"Damn, they're going to catch up, this one can't be lost no matter what! If you lose this game, you will be incapable of two quarters in the second half, and the second game against the Heat will definitely be lost! Xie Chen was very impatient. This win is so important to him.
This is also a reflection of Xie Chen's ability, if the last time was because Xie Chen's physical exertion was too great, then this time, after only two quarters, he couldn't defeat the opponent when he had enough energy, it would be too much of a failure. You must know that Xie Chen knows this opponent very well, but the opponent doesn't know him at all. That's already a big plus in itself.
The game went on slowly, and the two sides played more and more intensely, every rebound was scrambling very fiercely, and the Knicks also sent a tough guy Ci Shiping, who was very domineering when grabbing rebounds, directly squeezing the opponent away and grabbing a defensive rebound, but when scrambling, he stepped on Mike Miller's shoes.
But the other players of the Legend Heat didn't see Mike Miller's unexpected situation, because everyone was crowded together, they just wanted to serve faster and play offense quickly, so soon the Legend Heat sent a sideline ball, causing Mike Miller to rush to the front court while holding his shoes.
Xie Chen noticed this scene and immediately felt that something was wrong......
It wasn't until Mike Miller threw the sneakers directly to the audience in a hurry that Xie Chen was suddenly surprised: "No!" Is there going to be a plot where Mike Miller shoots a three-pointer barefoot? Isn't that what happened at the time of the Grand Final? Could it be because of Ci Shiping's trigger that it was staged in advance? ”
Xie Chen suddenly felt panicked, because he knew that Mike Miller could shoot three points with only one shoe, Xie Chen kept an eye on Mike Miller, because Mike Miller came back the slowest time, Ci Shiping, who was originally defending him, saw that he was missing a shoe, and also laughed at his reluctance to go over to defend, giving Mike Miller a chance to vacate the position.
James is really a leader who trusts his opponent very much, and in this case, he didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Mike Miller!
Mike Miller didn't hesitate at all, and after receiving the ball, he quickly jumped and shot three points!
Syllable!
With a hard blow, Xie Chen, who had long known that this would happen, rushed over and gave Mike Miller a big hat, because Mike Miller didn't wear shoes on one foot, so the jump height was not very high, which gave Xie Chen the opportunity to show his domineering cap.
"Damn fellow." Mike Miller glared at Xie Chen fiercely, his face was full of grievances, there was only one shoe left, and he came to defend me!
"Because I knew you'd make this shot." It seemed that he saw Mike Miller's thoughts, Xie Chen said to Mike Miller.
Knowing what happened in history is an advantage, which can prevent this kind of thing from happening again, otherwise, let Mike Miller score another three-pointer, and then it will be even more difficult to suppress the legendary Heat.
This team deserves to be a championship-level team, the Knicks still have too much effort to win them, the longer they play, the more difficult it is to lead the score, Anthony's performance in this game is not bad, if Anthony plays worse, it is estimated that the last two minutes will become garbage time.
The scores kept alternating, and Xie Chen suddenly shot a three-pointer at a critical moment! This three-point shot put a lot of pressure on the opponent, but James, who was desperate, actually returned a three-point shot in the next last offense! He could have shot two points because two points would be enough to tie the game, and then play overtime, but James shot a three-pointer.
At 102:101, the legendary Heat led by one point, and the Knicks had only 1.9 seconds to go.
The atmosphere of the scene became solemn, but James looked very calm, looking at Xie Chen arrogantly, as if to say, I won't give you a chance to play overtime, if you have the ability, you will kill!
Xie Chen was also out of breath, he didn't want overtime, because overtime would continue to consume his physical strength, he played six quarters of the game, it was already tiring enough, 1.9 seconds to kill, he was willing to gamble!
Xie Chen has completed many kills, but this time the kill is not trivial, because whether the goal is scored or not is not only directly linked to the series, but even affects the final championship.
"They're very jealous of my three-point and step-back jumpers, so I'm going to take it by surprise and replicate what James did before."
The last timeout, Xie Chen told the coach what he thought, what he wanted to do was actually what James had done this season, that was the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat vs. the Pacers, when there were only 2.2 seconds left in the game, James completed a layup kill, Xie Chen liked this kill very much, and the step of James rushing in at the moment of receiving the ball was so handsome, it was completely unexpected by Paul George. After James's kill, Wade was even more excited to beat and beat James, and James was in a calm pretending mode.
Xie Chen has the breakthrough speed of the league's first step, so the first step is only faster than James, not slow, and the layup ability is the same, so what James can do, Xie Chen will definitely be able to do, of course, the premise is to face the same defense.
1.9 seconds, everyone has their own person to guard, that's enough.
Serving in the half, Xie Chen, who was at the free throw line, took a step up to receive the ball, moved his body back quickly, and went straight to the basket, James hurriedly made up for the defense on the side, Xie Chen and James collided slightly, a basket, and the basketball hit the board into the frame!
The clock is just over!
