Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, whenever you have to meet Xie Chen's opponents, you will always be very afraid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, during Xie Chen's record-breaking season in the regular season this season, every city he visited was a nightmare for local fans and teams, and they didn't want to be a background wall.

When the playoffs were approaching last season, Xie Chen's Knicks team was ranked eighth in the East, and the two teams, the Cavaliers and Raptors, ranked first and second in the East, actually rushed to lose in order to avoid Xie Chen in the first round.

There is only one coach who is not only not afraid of Xie Chen, but is also looking forward to fighting Xie Chen, he is Popovich, not that he has the certainty of winning against Xie Chen, nor that he looks down on Xie Chen's ability, on the contrary, it is precisely because Popovich is not sure whether he can win Xie Chen, and it is precisely because Xie Chen's ability is too strong that Popovich wants to beat him more.

Of course, Popovich wants to meet Xie Chen, it doesn't mean that other people in the Spurs also want to meet Xie Chen, like Pau Gasol, Aldridge, and Danny Green, these guys have all learned Xie Chen's power, and they don't want to fight Xie Chen.

As the ace star of the Spurs, Leonard has an indifferent attitude, he plays the same with anyone, no matter how strong Xie Chen is, he is just one person, besides, Xie Chen has robbed Leonard's best defensive player for two consecutive years, which makes Leonard very unhappy and wants to win Xie Chen once.

Jonathan Simmons is gearing up, and he seems to be looking forward to fighting Xie Chen.

Tony Parker asked, "Coach, how do you guard against that kid?" ”

Popovich set his sights on Leonard, and since Xie Chen is the Lakers' most important offensive point, let the best defender on the team limit him.

Popovich said: "When we played in the regular season, I think Leonard's defense Xie is still very good, maybe he suffers a little loss in speed, but it doesn't matter, the main thing is to prevent his shooting, especially the three-point shot, let him break through, and then make up the defense to force him to pass, see how his teammates feel and then make changes, Xie's breakthrough scoring ability is also top-notch, no way, he is not LeBron James, nor Stephen Curry, he is a combination of Stephen Curry and LeBron James, the threat on the outside and inside is too great, you can only choose one, Letting him break more can also cause him to foul personally, Coach Donovan's foul-making plan, I decided to continue to use, after all, his height is limited, and his layup ability is not to the point of Jordan Kobe, and his breakthrough will not kill the game. ”

"Do you think he's going to use abilities in this series that we haven't seen before?" Tony Parker asked.

"Good question, I think it will." Popovich pointed at Parker and said, "This kid has always been hidden, and there is definitely a big move that has not been used, but it's a pity that the Thunder didn't force it out, we have to let him show all his abilities." ”

"Even if he has the ability to hide, he is still alone, and we can rely on Leonard or others to limit him." Balding Ginobili Road.

Popovich nodded and said with a smile: "In this series, I will always make him hesitate one thing, that is, should he pass the ball, or play it himself?" ”

……

Soon, it will be the day when the Lakers host the Spurs.

In Tencent's live broadcast room, Ke Fan and Yang Yi also had a pre-game discussion.

Ke Fan said: "Regarding the series matchup between the Lakers and the Spurs, in the past two days, Tencent netizens, including friends on Weibo, have been asking me and Mr. Yang Yi what we think, and we are more optimistic about who can win, everyone knows that I am Xie Chen's brainless fan, and I will definitely support the Lakers, but this series will be a great test for Xie Chen, they have defeated the Spurs in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it will definitely be a different matchup." ”

"That's right." Yang Yi also followed up and said, "Don't think that the Lakers won easily from the regular season to the first round of the playoffs, without any obstacles, let me tell you, the Spurs are the first obstacle they encountered in the playoffs, and it may be the last obstacle, I am still more optimistic about the Warriors in the series between the Warriors and the Clippers, whether they can challenge the Warriors, it depends on whether Xie Chen can pass the level of Mr. Popovich." ”

At the Staples Center, even Lakers fans don't dare to hope too much because of the opponent Popovich, a great coach full of respected honors, and they all know that this opponent is much more difficult to deal with than the Thunder.

The first row of the auditorium was star-studded, with several of the league's top superstars sitting next to each other, something that hadn't happened in any previous year.

Thunder star Russell Weisbrook, who just lost to the Lakers, Rockets star James Harden, who just lost to the Spurs, Zach LaVine and Carl Dons of the Timberwolves, Hassan Whiteside, super interior of the Heat, and Carmelo Anthony, the star of the New York Knicks.

They all seem to have come on a pilgrimage!

A few emperors who know the ball sit together, and they will naturally talk about the ball more deeply.

Wiggins temporarily left Los Angeles and did not come to the scene today, Zach LaVine and Towns were still active, Towns took the initiative to talk to Wei Shao and Harden around him, and asked: "You two just played against them, who do you fancy about the matchup between the Lakers and the Spurs?" ”

Wei Shaodao: "Xie is very strong, no matter how Popovich has a way, he can't stop him from scoring or his teammates from scoring, he always has to choose and sacrifice, I am optimistic about the Lakers." ”

James Harden said: "The team that can beat our Rockets is not an ordinary team, although I am also here to support the Sheh and Lakers, but the Spurs will probably beat them. ”

It looks like both will go for the team that beats them, so that their own team is not so weak.

Cameron Anthony also smiled: "When I was interviewed by reporters before the game, Xie and Popovich have been praising each other and belittling themselves, hehe, it's rare to see Xie so good at accumulating character." Spurs are really tough to play against, but today happens to be the MVP award at home, and I think that will motivate Xie and his teammates to win this one. ”

Yesterday, the NBA officially announced that Xie Chen became the MVP of the 2016-2017 season, that is, the Most Valuable Player, which is also his second honorary MVP.

If it weren't for last year's Curry and the Warriors who were too rebellious, even if Xie Chen's Knicks team was only eighth in the East, the MVP trophy would also be Xie Chen's, because Xie Chen's personal data completely surpassed Stephen Curry, and he could make his teammates better, he helped Anthony win the scoring title and Porzingis won the best rookie.

Xie Chen has always been very mindful of the MVP left last year, if he can get it, then he will have won the MVP trophy for three consecutive years.

Prior to this, only Larry Bird, Chamberlain, and The Lord of the Rings Russell had achieved three consecutive years of MVP, but none of them had been able to achieve three consecutive years of FMVP.

Michael Jordan did FMVP for three consecutive years, but his MVP was not successful.

If Xie Chen can achieve three consecutive years of MVP and three consecutive years of FMVP at the same time, then he is the first player in history to complete such a god-level honor!

The world is unpredictable, if Xie Chen can get two MVPs in three years, three FMVPs will already be very rebellious.

At the scene, the lights were quickly turned off, Xie Chen, NBA President Adam Xiaohua and KIA senior management appeared in the center of the stage, Adam Xiaohua saw that Xie Chen still had a feeling of reluctance, facing the audience, said: "In the past 82 regular season games, there are many players who have played well, but Chris Xie's performance, above anyone, he has raised the game to a new height, and also made the NBA have greater influence in the world, let us congratulate Chris Xie, unanimously elected MVP!" ”

Adam Xiaohua handed the MVP trophy to Xie Chen, Xie Chen was very excited to receive the trophy, this is the second time he has won the MVP, and it feels like a century has passed since the last time he got it.

“mvp！ mvp！ ”

The fans chanted MVP, and Anthony said to his companions at this time: "No matter what others think, in my heart, last season's MVP is also thanks." ”

Hassan Whiteside also nodded and said, "The MVP vote is too important for the team's record, but you are also responsible for not getting it, you shouldn't let him fight and be banned." ”

Cameron Anthony shook his head and said, "Don't accuse me, if you are by Xie's side, you must be more fierce than me." ”

Today, Xie Chen's wife Katie also came to the scene, and she was also very excited to see Xie Chen holding the trophy.

Xie Chen faced the audience and slowly spoke: "Thank you to the league for awarding me this trophy, thank you to all the fans who supported me, thank you to my teammates, coaches, my wife, my family." Now I'm conflicted, I want to win the MVP trophy a few more times, and I hope I can win the FMVP trophy this season and then retire. ”

"Don't retire! Keep taking it down! The fans at the scene also shouted enthusiastically.

As the shouting on the scene slowly subsided, Xie Chen finally said: "I just want to say that I once managed to get both MVP and FMVP, and this year, I want to try again!" ”

"Overall Champion! The overall winner must be ours! The fans at the scene were also ignited by Xie Chen's bold words.

Now there are no superstars in the Lakers team except for Xie Chen, Xie Chen said that if he takes FMVP, no one will be uncomfortable, if it is a team like the Warriors, Durant or Curry said that he wants to win FMVP, then there will definitely be more than one person who is uncomfortable, because there are too many people in their team who want to grab FMVP......

Popovich felt Xie Chen's desire for a championship and FMVP, and knew that this series was destined to be difficult to play.

Lakers starters: Xie Chen, Nick Young, Rohr Deng, Randle, Mozgov.

Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Pau Gasol.

As soon as the Spurs came up, they sent Leonard, who is two meters and one tall, to mark Xie Chen, mainly to limit Xie Chen's shooting, especially three-point long-range shooting, although Xie Chen has many offensive weapons, but the most feared is the three-point shot, he can hit three points away from the three-point line, he can get rid of the opponent to get space like Curry, and he can also pull out his hand against the defender, once the three points are opened, it is too difficult to play.

"Leonard is second only to Xie Chen in the competition for the best defensive player for two consecutive years, in my opinion, he is as good a defensive player as Xie Chen, and even more physically superior, this spear and shield battle, I don't know who will win and who will lose." Yang Yi is very much looking forward to the fight between Xie Chen and Leonard.

Xie Chen has played with Leonard more than once, and knows that this guy is very difficult, especially when he really wants to prevent you from three points, you really can't play Curry's three-point shot, and he will definitely be interfered with or covered, unless he uses Maddy-style shooting to shoot strongly, the shooting rate will not be too good, and his speed is also very fast, you can't get rid of him by speed or dribbling skills, showing off his skills in front of him, it is likely to be exchanged for being stealed, his arm length and death winding defensive ability make him have a very strong steal ability.

Xie Chen just won the MVP, he was very excited, and he was not afraid of Leonard's challenge, and after breaking through, he first hit a two-point shot with Jordan's step-back jumper.

On the Spurs' side, Xie Chen defended Tony Parker, Parker is a 35-year-old veteran, and he is not the main scoring point of the Spurs, but Parker's role should not be underestimated.

Xie Chen's defense against Parker is to prevent sudden shots, and never let him kill to the basket, even if he himself is not a big threat to the basket, but he can tear apart the defensive formation and create opportunities for his teammates.

Xie Chen gave Parker a lot of shooting space, that is, he let him shoot by himself, Parker also shot by himself first, and the first ball was hit.

"Xie Chen is a little bit of a parker." Ke Fan Dao.

Xie Chen assisted his teammates to continue to score, and in the second defense, Xie Chen continued to let Parker go, but he still let him shoot, but he didn't shoot.

"Parker's three points this season are not accurate, less than forty percent, Xie Chen may also think that you haven't shot accurately for a season, it is impossible for me to be accurate, it is also to try it first, let Parker score alone, it is far better than letting him activate other teammates, Parker can score again, he can't kill the game." Yang Yi said.

Regarding the Spurs' defense of Xie Chen, Xie Chen still chooses to use the most reasonable way to break through the ball and let his teammates play, especially let Nick Young play Parker.

Nick Young is the same height as Leonard, and when he goes to play Parker, who is less than 1.9 meters, he doesn't rush in, and after receiving the ball, he dribbles and shoots, or he shoots directly in front of him.

Xie Chen frequently gave Nick Yang the opportunity to play Parker alone, and Nick Yang was quite resolute in his attack every time, and he felt good as soon as he came up, with a shooting rate of more than sixty percent.

Ke Fan said: "Nick Yang really helped Xie Chen a lot in the playoffs, no matter who he played with, he was full of confidence and was not afraid of throwing." ”

Not long after Ke Fan finished speaking, Nick Yang shot the basketball, and the basketball bounced back from the basket, at this time, Xie Chen jumped up like a god, and got the rebound with one hand and directly dunked it into the frame!

The scene was boiling instantly!

Yang Yi said: "That's why Nick Young is so confident, even if he misses the shot, he knows that someone will help him make up for this hole, look at it, this game will eventually return to the Spurs' smooth personal super talent against Xie Chen." ”
