In TNT's studio, many NBA celebrities also talked about the upcoming playoffs.

The host said: "The regular season is over, this season always feels a little different, there are many surprises and many surprises, the Golden State Warriors broke the best record held by the Chicago Bulls, Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the strongest contender for the Most Valuable Player in the regular season, Carmelo Anthony miraculously won the second scoring title he should have after a three-year absence, if there are no accidents, the New York Knicks' Porzingis will also beat Carl Towns to win the best rookie, Chris Shea, who swept the major awards last year, is now also locked in the league's assist and steal kings, defending for a while, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the best defensive player. ”

"There is also the playoffs to start next, last year the Warriors and the Rockets were the Western Conference finals, this year the two teams met in the first round, the first round of the East against the Raptors and the Knicks is also very interesting, no one thought that the Raptors would be the first in the East, no one would have thought that the Knicks only got eighth, many people are discussing the problem of the Black Eight, do you think such a situation will appear?"

Kenny Smith first said: "There will definitely be a Black Eight Miracle in the playoffs this year, many people say that there are opportunities in the West and the East, because the Rockets in eighth place are the strong team that defeated the Los Angeles Clippers last year to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and the New York Knicks have the two aces of Xie and Anthony and Porzingis, the best rookie, these two teams ranked eighth, but they have a higher ranking than them, I don't deny that both teams are excellent, but on the West side, there is no suspense at all, yes, there is no suspense at all." The Golden State Warriors are the team with the best record in history, they have only one opponent in the West, only the Spurs, and no other team can stop them, but the East is different, and the Toronto Raptors have not been able to make it past the first round in the past few seasons. This year was supposed to be their best chance, but unfortunately, they met Xie's team, and I predict that the two teams will play seven games, and the Knicks will become the sixth team in NBA history to create the Black Eight Miracle! ”

O'Neal also said excitedly: "That's right, the sixth Black Eight team has appeared, they are the New York Knicks, Xie and Anthony can do it, I have 100% confidence in them." Not to mention the Raptors, even if the first is the Cavaliers, they have a chance to take down each other, in my heart, the New York Knicks are the only opponent who can compete with the Warriors for the championship, look at it, Xie will make a big move in the playoffs, he definitely still has the ability to show up. ”

……

Canada. Toronto.

During last year's playoffs, the city of Toronto was crazy about the Raptors going to the playoffs. The Raptors' fans are very fanatical, no matter where they are, they are full of fanatical fans, but unfortunately the Raptors lost in the first round, and this year they finally won the first place in the East. It is supposed to be the strongest team in the East, but when it met the Knicks in the first round, fans were uneasy again.

Raptors coach Devin Casey has watched the video of the Knicks this season in the past few days, and they will face the New York Knicks in two days. On this day, Casey also seriously analyzed with the whole team how to beat the Knicks.

Casey pointed to the Knicks game screen on the screen and said to the whole team: "In the regular season, the Knicks mainly attacked Anthony, and Xie was more about organizing the offense, but in the playoffs, all this will be different, although Anthony is the scoring champion of their team and the scoring champion of the league, but Xie is the guy who can cut 60+ in a single game, and our main task is to defend Xie." ”

"Look at Xie's ball, as long as it is past half court, it will reach Xie's three-point shooting range, especially when he slows down his speed, it seems that when he is organizing the offense, he especially likes to suddenly release a cold arrow, so Kyle Lowry, you have to pay special attention to this when you stare at him, he may shoot three points at any time."

"Also, once Xie is in the low post, quickly wrap it up, don't hesitate to shoot backwards in this position, he can ignore any defender."

"I've watched his game footage the past few days and I've seen that Xie has had some fitness issues this season, so what we have to do is try to exhaust him and let Anthony dominate the game at the end."

The Raptors players have different looks, Kyle Lowry and DeRozan are reluctant to touch Xie Chen, and others feel terrified when they hear Xie Chen's name, if the Knicks only have Xie Chen, but in addition to Xie Chen, there is Anthony, the scoring champion, and Porzingis, Ray Allen, Shiping Odom, these veterans cannot be completely ignored, although they are the first in the East, but now facing the Knicks, they can't show any pride.

Terrence Ross suddenly asked: "Coach, you see that Xie has already shown the ability, if he still has the ability to show, then what should he do then?" ”

Coach Casey sighed, "Then let's wait to die." ”

No wonder the coaches who got the first record in the East are so negative, Xie Chen is really a player who makes all teams unpredictable, and every time Xie Chen has an ability, he must surprise everyone, and now Xie Chen is so comprehensive that the opponent is helpless, if there is one more big killer, then there seems to be really no way but to wait for death.

The New York Knicks came to Toronto early to prepare for the game, and the whole team was in a relaxed state, which is why Xie Chen would not choose the Cavaliers as the opponent in the first round.

In addition to the Bulls and the Heat, Xie Chen doesn't care who he plays with in the first round, and he is also confident that he can beat the Cavaliers, of course, it will make people feel more comfortable, but teammates and coaches will not feel so, from the first game to the last game, their nerves will be very tight, they will be flustered, and they will definitely not have such a relaxed state as they are now, even if they can beat the Knights, then this round is enough to consume the minds of the players.

Xie Chen didn't want the whole team to be exhausted in the first round.

While the whole team was training, coach Fisher called Xie Chen aside to chat.

"Xie, how do you plan to fight your next opponent?" Fisher respects Xie Chen's views very much, and he is also a blessing to Xie Chen, and he also ushered in the first playoff game since he took charge, so the whole person is very excited.

Xie Chen was a little puzzled: "You are the head coach, of course you played according to your ideas, why did you ask me like this?" ”

Fisher said: "You only give your best in the regular season once in a while. Most of the time it's more left to your teammates, and when it comes to the playoffs I know you're going to take over the game again, and what I want to ask you is, the Raptors are also the number one team in the East, do you plan to use hidden abilities when dealing with them? ”

It turned out that Fisher wanted to ask Xie Chen when the hidden big move would be released, and he, as the head coach, also knew it in advance. But the problem is that all of Xie Chen's abilities have been exposed, and there is really no hidden ability, and then Xie Chen is going to copy Michael Jordan's layup ability, but it is not easy to say whether he can meet the Bulls, and even if he does, it will have to be after playing the Raptors.

Xie Chen was a little embarrassed: "Fight the Raptors, I don't think you should need it." ”

Fisher also nodded: "Well, before you meet the knight, it's better to keep it first." I'm going to talk to Anthony and get him to work harder and try to take out the opponent easily without you having to use your hidden abilities. ”

April 17, Toronto, Canada, Aviation Centre Gymnasium.

The first game of the first round of the playoffs between the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks finally got underway, and the stadium was packed, and the frenzy of Toronto fans was shocking, and they kept shouting the names of the home players. Dressed in neat attire, outside the scene. Whether it's outdoor or indoors, as long as there is a big screen that broadcasts the game live, there must be many Raptors fans.

"Those who say that the Knicks can complete the Black Eight Miracle are also too funny! Do you really think we're that weak? The Knicks are only two people, Xie and Anthony, why do they have so much confidence! The Raptors fans at the scene shouted angrily.

Before this round of playoffs, the news of the Knicks Black Eight Raptors has been widely circulated, which makes the Raptors, who are the No. 1 in the East, very embarrassed. obviously won the first place, and obviously proved his strength in the long regular season, but he was still looked down upon so badly.

Raptors fans can't stand it even more, they can't listen to such remarks at all, in their hearts. If the Raptors can take the first place, they are definitely the best team in the East.

Therefore, when Xie Chen and Anthony appeared, you can imagine how loud the boos were at the scene.

Xie Chen just walked on the court, and he was also a little shocked, the pressure on this away team really can't be ignored, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the devil's home field, Toronto fans are too fanatical, especially when the Raptors have been unable to break through the first round of the playoffs in recent seasons, they want to break into the Eastern Conference semifinals this year.

Raptors coach Casey has been boosting the morale of his players before the game, asking them to bring out the morale of the No. 1 team in the East, and they should not have a trace of scruples and cowardice at home.

As soon as the game opened, the Raptors showed the style of No. 1 in the East as soon as they came up, DeRozan scored five points in a row with a three-pointer and a single step-back jumper, taking the lead.

Xie Chen is not in a hurry to respond, after all, no matter what the opponent says, he is also the first in the East, even if the Cavaliers deliberately lose, it is the second strength in the East, and it is impossible to be defeated all at once, so Xie Chen will take his time.

In this series against the Raptors, Xie Chen plans to beat them with two abilities, one is Stephen Curry's three-point ability, which is the most threatening weapon, needless to say, and the second is Jordan's step-back jumper ability.

Xie Chen plans to shoot the Raptors with a shot, instead of scoring inside, because throughout the regular season, the Raptors allowed opponents to score 96.4, the fourth in the league, and their defensive strategy is to delay the ball handler, save the three-point line, and make up for the inside, the Raptors are still an old-school team that believes in "the farther the ball, the easier it is to lose".

Many people don't know where the key point of this game is, because they don't know that playing away means that for Xie Chen, it means that he may lose his ability, so Xie Chen is very cautious and knows that he will play two games in a row tonight, so he has had a lot of rest these days.

Fortunately, the legendary Raptors don't have a team that is too strong, but when it comes to such a big thing as losing ability, Xie Chen has to be careful.

"I don't know if I can win this game if I don't score 30 points?"

If he doesn't score 30 points or 10 rebounds or 10 assists, Xie Chen doesn't have to accept the challenge of the legendary Raptors, and naturally he won't have the possibility of losing his ability, but for a team like the Raptors, if Xie Chen doesn't score more than 30 points, he has to rely on his teammates to play well, especially Anthony, who is good at singles.

But it's a pity that Anthony is not in a good state tonight, coupled with the boos of the fans at the scene, after Anthony punished a three-way no, the sound on the scene was simply deafening, which directly led to Anthony's second free throw and failed to shoot, even Anthony who has been in the NBA for so many years can't completely ignore the pressure of this devil's away game.

Fortunately, Xie Chen's shooting percentage will not have much impact, and he has been relying on his own shooting to maintain the score, and soon after the third quarter began, Xie Chen's score broke 30.

Xie Chen didn't want to score 30 points so early, he wanted to drag it out until the fourth quarter, because once he encountered a legendary team so early, if he lost, he would be incapable of the remaining two quarters, and it would be too harmful to the team.

But this is also something that can't be helped, the whole team has to rely on Xie Chen to score alone, Xie Chen doesn't want the Raptors to play with the wind.

Xie Chen knew in his heart that he had played so many legendary challenge matches, this was the first time that he could only win and not lose, and once he lost, then this Raptors team would not want to win.

In the past few days, Xie Chen has learned all the Raptors teams in the past, and he has a strategy to deal with any team in the year.

"It turned out to be them." When the scene switches to another time and space, Xie Chen sees his former teammate Chris Bosh.

The former "Dragon King" Bosh, Xie Chen and Bosh stayed together for a whole season, but when I saw it here, I still felt a little unrecognizable, Bosh during the Raptors period still had long braids, wearing a wrist guard on his right hand, and the whole person looked domineering, very bossy, but when it came to the Heat's Bosh, it was not as mature as the Bosh in front of him.

Bosh shouldn't have cut his hair, it's obvious that long hair is for him, and after the heat, the look is too much like a giraffe.

In addition to Chris Bosh, Xie Chen also saw an acquaintance, Bagnani.

"I actually met him...... "Seeing this old acquaintance, Xie Chen was really surprised, the last time he flew over Bagnani, his model girlfriend complained, and found Xie Chen's room to reason with Xie Chen, and now Xie Chen still remembers it vividly.

"Wait a minute, isn't that crazy woman there?" Xie Chen curiously swept to the audience, and did not see the model girlfriend, but saw Bagnani's ex-girlfriend, a women's volleyball player Nabila who was also hot. (To be continued.) )
