Chapter 266: Harden: I Can't Go to the Free Throw Line!

The arc of the basketball changed after the shot, because at the moment when Xie Chen shot, he was interfered with by Jimmy Butler, and the basketball did not make the basket as he expected, and it began to fall halfway, like a crumbling plane after being suddenly bombed. Top Novel, x.

Jimmy Butler not only blocked Wade, but also blocked Xie Chen! Continuously blocking the top star of the Heat, this can surprise everyone, what kind of medicine did this guy take tonight, how could he suddenly break out! Or is it because ...... He's always been strong!

"Damn...... Curry's shooting posture is still too much of a loss for a defender of this height. Xie Chen was secretly annoyed for a while, being blocked by the opponent was something that Xie Chen couldn't tolerate, even if Xie Chen had just blocked Jimmy Butler, and it was much more fierce than this.

Stepping back to the three-point line is a way that Xie Chen and Curry like very well, Xie Chen thought that with Curry's lightning shot he could ignore the opponent, but he didn't expect Jimmy Butler to have expected Xie Chen to have this move, coupled with his height of two meters and one, the block would become easy.

In fact, there is no need to feel ashamed to be blocked by Jimmy Butler, there are too many stars who have been blocked by this guy, such as Wade just now, such as standing in place with a cap to fly Bill, such as directly pressing James Harden's shot, such as directly knocking out LeBron James's ball at the last critical moment.

This guy's defensive awareness and defensive intensity are very hard to be underestimated.

"Listen, Jimmy, you're going to be in trouble this series." Xie Chen said to Jimmy Butler with a murderous expression, what are you kidding, Lao Tzu just won the MVP and became the best player in the league, you just come over and block, how can Xie Chen swallow this kind of anger?

Jimmy Butler smiled faintly. He didn't take Xie Chen's threat seriously: "Hey, man, it's not fair, you just blocked me, I didn't say anything, and I just touched the basketball lightly." It's not like you hit like a cannon. ”

Xie Chen paused, Jimmy Butler said it well, it makes sense, why do people have to bear it if they are covered, but not if they are covered? But on second thought, why should I reason with you? I'm the main character! Just bully you what's wrong!

"Wait, Jimmy Butler, I'll give you back this hat! And use the power of the Griffin to crush you alive! ”

In this series, Xie Chen has one more task. Do everything you can to block Jimmy Butler again!

However, Xie Chen also knew that the key task at present was to find a way to recover the lost points, it was already the fourth quarter, and the game would be over soon, and if it continued like this, there would be no hope of a comeback in this game.

However, the Heat played not badly in the fourth quarter, and the offense was very smooth. The shooting percentage is also good, and the shots that should be scored are basically all made. But there is no way to narrow the score to single digits, because the Heat score, the Bulls are also scoring, the Heat's defense has always been fierce, and it has created a lot of pressure on the Bulls' offense, but the Bulls can seize the opportunity to score. Especially the outside line, which is fully open today.

It's not that Xie Chen didn't want to shoot three points crazy to chase the score on his own, but Xibo would never allow Xie Chen to shoot two three-pointers in a row, he would rather let the other members of the Heat team catch up with the score, which was fortunate for him. The Heat's Rohr Deng, Wade and others are in average condition.

The whole arena was very dull until the end of the fourth quarter, and everyone could see that the Bulls played too well today, they were simply unstoppable, completely beyond the usual level, and the shooting percentage was amazing.

Coach Spo originally asked that the two home games must be won, but when he saw that the game was played like this, he didn't want to waste time, and in the last few minutes, he replaced Xie Chenwade and other main players, and time became garbage time.

The Bulls also withdrew the main force, at this time, Jimmy Butler had scored 31 points, the highest score on the Bulls team, Rose scored 24 points, the two did not communicate throughout the whole process after they got off the court, and they both had a straight face, there was no joy at all, which made the Heat generals embarrassed, and they had never seen a win and cry with a sad face!

It was Noah who was elated on the bench, with that cheap appearance, and YD's laughter, for fear that he would not be as angry as Xie Chen and Chalmers.

Sitting on the bench and waiting for the team to lose is definitely a torment, this is the first playoff game that Xie Chen lost.

Xie Chen looked at the score that was still widening on the court, and sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect to lose just after getting the MVP, Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, hum, I will definitely return it to you in the next game!" ”

The first game of the series is the most irrelevant one, the Bulls are not so strong that the Heat can't parry, it's just good luck today, they played too smoothly at the beginning, and they have been suppressing the Heat until the end, and in the next game, the Bulls will definitely not be in such a good state, and it will be the Heat who will take the initiative at that time.

In this regard, everyone has no doubt, whether it is the coach or the main force or the substitute, everyone thinks that the next game will be different, after all, in the regular season, the Heat swept the Bulls, and although this one failed, I saw a good signal, that is, our big center Hassan Whiteside "returned"!

In this game, Hassan got 14 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, if he played a little longer, I believe the number would be better, especially when he limited Gasol, which is commendable, as long as in the series, on the inside, Hassan can always have the upper hand, then this series Heat will win steadily, because the combination of Jimmy Butler and Rose will not be stronger than Xie Chen and Wade, but will only be worse than the two.

"Wade, in the next game, we can't afford to lose to those two guys again." Xie Chen looked at Wade unwillingly.

Wade nodded: "Of course, in the next game, we have to win." ”

In the end, the Bulls stole a win on the Heat's home court, and it was won by a big score, but even if it was a big win, the whole Bulls team was very cautious, because they knew very well that it was an impossible task to win 2-0 on the road, and for Thibodeau, it was enough to win one game on the road.

The Cavaliers will see the Bulls win the first game, and they will also be a little happy, for James. Although he is sure to win any fight, he doesn't want to face Wade, face the old club Heat, and face the incomprehensible Xie Chen.

"Let's hope the Bulls can solve the Heat for us." James prayed inwardly.

At the same time as the Heat and the Bulls finished playing, the first game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals was officially staged, and it was learned that Xie Chen finally tasted the bitter fruit of the first playoff loss. Curry was indescribably happy, and he was very excited throughout the game.

"Hmph, this guy still wants to compete with me for the three-point goal record in the playoffs, if you are directly eliminated by the Bulls, you can't even enter the Eastern Conference finals, see how you still compete with me!"

The more Curry thinks about it, the more proud he becomes, if the Heat really stops in the Eastern Conference semifinals, then the playoff three-point goal record will properly belong to him! This year he wants to set a record, he wants to break 100!

Luckily. Grizzlies big man Mike Conley was absent, the Splash Brothers were all in unison, adding up to more than 40 points, Green also had a very good appearance, and seemed to be competing with rival Jimmy Butler, in the last five minutes, the Grizzlies barely scored a point, and finally. The Warriors are 1-0 Grizzlies.

The next day, the other two sets of duels were ushered in. Cavaliers and Hawks, Clippers and Rockets.

At the Cleveland Cavaliers' home court, Love and Vallejo both wore suits to help on the sidelines, while James gathered a group of players in sportswear, full of leadership temperament: "Brothers, the semifinals are about to begin!" This is an opportunity that we have come to gain so hard. The opponent is strong, but we are stronger! The Bulls and Warriors from afar have already won one game, and they may be our opponents after us, so don't let them look down on them! Come on! ”

"Come on!" Owen, Dellavedova and others all stretched out their arms and exclaimed in excitement. With the cheers of the fanatical home fans, the whole momentum put a lot of pressure on the Eagles.

Because James is here, everyone is more optimistic about the Cavaliers to advance, James can lead the team with the strength of one person, and the Hawks rely on the strength of the team to encircle James alone.

The Cavaliers have two individual fast-break sharpshooters with a dozen or two, James and Irving, two fast-stealing masters, Jr and Shambaugh, so the Hawks will attach great importance to the Cavaliers' fast-break, since entering the league in 2003, James can average 5.5 points per game through the fast-break, James is the leader in this number, and the other three players who can average more than 5 points per game are John Wall, Allen Iverson and Xie Chen.

In the last game between the Heat and the Hawks in the regular season, Xie Chen ran to chat with each of the Hawks, give them confidence, and give them advice, just so that they could stop James in the series and then meet them, this game, Xie Chen, and even the Bulls' people will watch. Xie Chen was especially looking forward to seeing the scene where the eagle was able to overturn the knight.

After the opening, the Hawks continued their overall advantage, with five starters taking turns scoring, while the Cavaliers relied on singles, and who knew that Smith exploded in the second quarter, coupled with the strong firepower of Irving and James, to overtake the score.

It went on like this until the fourth quarter, when the Hawks were in trouble.

When the Hawks Carroll made a fast-break layup, he suddenly sprained his knee and fell to the ground in pain!

Looking at Carol's expression of pounding the floor in pain on the ground, Xie Chen also felt a little empathy: "Oh no, it looks like the injury is not light, the eagle must not have any trouble with injuries, otherwise, there will be no way to stop the knights in this series." ”

This layup finally touched James before falling to the ground, so many people thought it was James's malicious foul, but in fact, James had no reason to do it at all, and in the end, when Carol was taken out by the two, James also took the initiative to pat Carroll's chest and stepped forward to comfort a few words.

In the end, James scored 37 points, and JR hit eight three-pointers to give the Cavaliers a 1-0 lead over the Hawks.

After watching the game between the knight and the eagle, Xie Chen patted his forehead: "Alas, it's still useless, the eagle is still no match for the knight, and now he has injured another Carol." Whew......"

Xie Chen is completely in the position of an eagle, sad like an eagle.

The Cavaliers have already won one game, and tomorrow, the second game between the Heat and the Bulls, Xie Chen must win, not only that, but also to ensure that he wins all away games, and he must win the Bulls in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the Cavaliers will have a physical advantage.

After the game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, it is the Clippers and Rockets that have attracted much attention, everyone is generally optimistic about the Clippers in this series, but James Harden doesn't think so, he also said crazy words to Xie Chen, saying that he will definitely overturn the Clippers, after Xie Chen lost the first game, he was teased by Harden miserably, which was simply a merciless ridicule, and even sent Jimmy Butler's gif of blocking Xie Chen to Xie Chen, and then Xie Chen quickly replied to Harden with an identical block, but the person who was blocked was replaced by Harden himself.

Harden is too much, you yourself have been covered by Butler, and after being covered, the whole person was crushed and fell to the ground, in terms of losing face, you are even better!

But the nightclub didn't care at all, saying that it was all in the past, and now that he met Butler, he had to give him some color to see.

In view of Harden's such high-profile arrogance, Xie Chen and a group of friends had to sit together to enjoy this ** battle, Wade stood on the side of his good brother Paul and supported the Clippers, and Xie Chen could not cheer for the people who mocked him, and he also stood on the side of the Clippers, and for a while, the entire Heat became the base camp of Clippers fans.

In this game, the showdown between Jordan Jr. and the monster Howard is a highlight, both of them are violent, and Jordan Jr. was a fan of Howard, but today he not only blocked Howard, but also repeatedly raged the inside basket, fortunately, Howard is also young, and this game is also a big deal, scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks.

The game between the Clippers and the Rockets is very time-consuming, and it is definitely the longest group in the series, because both sides "cut each other", you cut Howard, I cut Jordan Jr., cut back and forth, it seems, everyone else is very idle, and the fans have begun to scold, who likes to watch this kind of game without passion, damn, it's all about watching free throws! But Xie Chen was quite happy to see it.

In addition to cutting each other, how to deal with Harden's foul making is also a problem, but the Clippers seem to have already figured out how to deal with it.

Once James Harden slammed into the basket, when I saw Harden really go to the basket, Jordan Jr. watched from the side, and JJ Redick and Griffin all raised their arms, and the scene was very funny.

"Hahaha, they didn't dare touch Harden, it was so funny."

Either raise your arms or simply put them behind you, and when defending Harden, it's like a handsless animal, and no matter how much Harden wants to make fouls, it won't help.

In the end, Harden scored only 20 points, and the Clippers beat the Rockets by a wide margin.

After that, Xie Chen inevitably wanted to send a message to tease Harden, and the courtesy was still exchanged, but he didn't expect Harden to quickly reply to Xie Chen: "The opponent is very cunning!" I can't get to the free throw line! (To be continued......)
