The second game of the Knicks and Raptors series continued to be played on the Raptors' home court, and the Raptors suffered a massacre by Xie Chen alone in the first game, and almost all Raptors fans hated and feared Xie Chen, and some even hoped that Xie Chen would not be able to play the game with food poisoning in Toronto in the past few days.

On Valentine's Day, Xie Chen impressed Toronto fans, and they did fall in love with Xie Chen's gorgeous and violent dunk performance, but now he has become an enemy that hinders their team's advancement.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who did not play today, also watched the live broadcast.

"I don't know if the Raptors can beat them this time, if they lose two home games in a row, then this series will really be no suspense." James sat in front of the TV early and cared more than anyone about the outcome of this game.

All the players of the Raptors have a serious face, the last loss was simply too embarrassing, this time they must show the majesty of the first place in the East, no matter how bad it is, they can't let Xie Chen score 60 points alone, this is a joke!

Before the game, Anthony also said to Xie Chen: "I think the people on the Raptors' side are a little wrong, they can't let you score points arbitrarily anymore, you be careful that their defense may be much more brutal than the last game." ”

"I understand that they are not low-level guys, but to stop me, they will do the same." Of course, Xie Chen knew what the opponent's mood was, so this one was no longer going to be as crazy as the last one, the record had been broken, and the reward for the fusion point had been received, and he would not be in a hurry in this game.

As soon as he started, DeRozan continued to impact the Knicks' interior line, and his performance was very ferocious, scoring points one after another, and it can be seen from DeRozan's performance that the attitude of the entire Raptors is to win this game desperately. Otherwise, it would be a joke if the first place in the East lost all two home wins!

Xie Chen also plays the same style as DeRozan, impacting the inside, but has no intention of confronting the opponent head-on, all about guiding the ball outward. The teammates then continue to move and give the ball to the person who has the opportunity.

Derrick Williams and Porzingis finally found their form, and the two hit back-to-back three-pointers as soon as they opened, and the score was about the same, and the Knicks still took the lead.

Coach Casey shook his head: "I knew that in the last game, they didn't shoot well, and this game, it must not be like that, it seems that this game wants to win." It's still hard! ”

In the last game, as long as you strangle Xie Chen, you can win, but unfortunately the Raptors didn't do it, and in today's game, even if they restrict Xie Chen, it will be difficult to win, because others have already exerted their power, especially rookie Porzingis.

In fact, Xie Chen has been encouraging Porzingis. He was disappointed for a long time after a poor performance in the first game, and he was determined to show the level of the regular season in the second game.

"I'm the best rookie!" Porzingis cheered himself up.

Porzingis didn't just start scoring. Defensively, there was also a surprising performance.

This is when the Raptors are passing the ball on the outside, Porzingis has been staring at their passing route, and after predicting in advance that the ball is about to pass, he strides forward, stretches out his long arms, and immediately breaks the ball!

After Porzingis breaks the ball. didn't think about attacking safely at all, he got up and rushed to the basket, maybe he was too excited, he was so tall that Scola couldn't catch up!

"This big guy is so fast!" Stephen Curry, who was watching the game, couldn't help but be surprised.

Xie Chen and Anthony are also following all the way from the left and right, and Porzingis can pass to whichever side he goes. However, he was persistent, but he brought the ball all the way to the basket and dunked with one hand!

Bang!

The ball was dunked in, and it also caused Scola's hitman to foul!

Because Scola defended particularly fiercely this time, he directly pushed Porzingis to the ground.

Xie Chen and Anthony hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, and praised him in unison: "Good job!" ”

Porzingis smiled happily, seemingly completely forgetting the pain he had just suffered, and it was also clear from Scola's defense that the Raptors were defending tonight.

"If you don't let go of such a ball, it seems that the Raptors are really going to be hard this time." Xie Chen was also a little worried in his heart.

James, who watched the game, was even more melancholy: "Porzingis must be taken seriously, his three-point shooting and his height are very threatening." ”

However, the Raptors' offense was still so ferocious, DeRozan was crazy about killing inside, Lowry was mainly attacking the outside three-pointer, and the two aces were one inside and one outside, which actually received a miraculous effect and quickly reversed the score.

"Looks like I'm going to have to make a move." Xie Chen thought that his teammates were in good shape, and he could avoid a legendary challenge without scoring so many points, but now it seems that it is difficult to do so.

Now defending Xie Chen is the Raptors' No. 3 James Johnson, Johnson sticks to Xie Chen very tightly, and the small movements are constant, Xie Chen uses his speed to shake him off and then goes straight to the basket, I didn't expect Xie Chen to jump together, Johnson pounced from behind and knocked Xie Chen down directly!

Fortunately, Xie Chen used James's layup ability, otherwise, this time is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Knicks fans began to worry, the Raptors really adopted the toughest level of defense against Xie Chen, and they did not hesitate to foul at all costs to prevent Xie Chen from scoring!

"With Johnson's weight and strength, it looks like Xie is going to have a hard time tonight." LeBron James muttered.

However, James didn't know that Xie Chen had his strength, so it wasn't too hard to fight Johnson.

Xie Chen relied on free throws to score points again and again, and with Xie Chen's personality, he would never be afraid of breaking through because of the improvement of defensive intensity, but tonight's referee was very annoying, Xie Chen was fouled many times on the inside, and he didn't even blow the foul, and the Knicks fans on the Internet were simply angry and posted scolding.

At this time, the Warriors who were watching the game also laughed, Green smiled and said: "If the series between the Raptors and the Knicks is played like this in every game, it is estimated that Xie can break into the finals, and he can't even walk, he shouldn't be so arrogant in the first game, and he scores so many points at people's home court, this is a playoffs, and they are also the first in the East, although it is a few grades worse than our first in the West." But it is still inviolable. ”

Coach Kerr was also full of confidence: "I hope Xie doesn't get injured, otherwise it will be boring for our best team in history to win disgracefully." ”

The current Warriors don't take any team seriously, and they are considered destined to win the championship with the best record in history.

Xie Chen and Anthony played very hard, and the game finally looked like a playoff showdown, and it didn't become Xie Chen's solo exhibition game like the last one. Xie Chen didn't score more than 30 points until the fourth quarter, and he went through countless physical confrontations, and the players who defended him one after another took turns to consume Xie Chen's physical strength, and most of them had already committed more than 3 fouls.

It is still inevitable to challenge the legendary Raptors, this time he did not meet the Dragon King Bosh again, but Maddy Carter's cousin, Xie Chen is not the first time to fight them, and Maddie was strong during the Raptors. But the offensive ability is not at its peak, Carter is the best dunk, and he has never been a terrible leader like Jordan.

Therefore, Xie Chen solved them in three quarters in one go, and had a good rest in the last quarter, and when he faced Lored Rozan and them again, he still had enough physical strength, but the game was too long. Xie Chen was a little annoyed.

"Playing two 48-minute games in a row is really not done by anyone. Looking at the situation, until the last minute, it is difficult to tell the result of this game, and if there is extra time, it will really be a throw. Coming back from the legendary plot, Xie Chen looked at the game situation in front of him. I can't help but feel a little melancholy.

In this game, the Knicks' interior line was really broken up by the Raptors, Lopez left the court full of fouls, Porzingis also had 4 fouls, and even Anthony had 4 times. DeRozan's impact is really strong, and Kyle Lowry is also in very good shape tonight, shooting 6 of 9 three-pointers, which is still under Xie Chen's defense, it is not easy to have such a shooting rate.

Fortunately, the whole Knicks played well, otherwise this game would have been defeated by the Raptors.

Coach Casey looked at the situation in front of him and said secretly in his heart: "This is already the best state we can get, today is the home again, this is the most promising game in this series, if we can't win tonight, it will really be over." ”

This win or loss, for the Knicks, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, anyway, their goal is to win one game on the road, but for the Raptors, it is different, it is necessary to win, two consecutive away games, who would think that they will win two consecutive away games next?

Therefore, the mentality of the players on both sides is also different, the Knicks are in good shape, but as the game drags on to the end, the Raptors are still so strong, and they, especially Porzingis, who performed well for the first time in the playoffs, are a little lacking.

In the last two minutes of the game, the Raptors and Knicks tied again!

"It seems that this game is really likely to go to overtime, and if it goes to overtime, the Raptors, who are better overall, may have a chance to win the game." LeBron James was still preoccupied until this point.

The last offense at the last moment must be handed over to the ace, Xie Chen held the ball, and his eyes became DeRozan to defend him, Xie Chen leaned sideways against DeRozan, and did not think about how to attack, but observed the Raptors' defense, and slowly reached the free throw line, which is the position where Michael Jordan has a very high percentage of backward jumpers, Xie Chen quickly leaned on DeRozan, just about to be trapped, Xie Chen turned around, stepped back and jumped, and the ball hit accurately!

"Damn it!"

"It's just a bug!"

Raptors supporters were angry, Xie Chen often used this kind of extremely difficult step-back jumper to score in these two games, but the angry thing is that Xie Chen's shooting rate is extremely high, in their opinion, it is already a BUG-like existence, because you can't prevent it at all, Curry's three-point shooting is also very BT, but fortunately, it can be prevented, how can you defend the backward jumper?

LeBron James also shook his head slightly: "It's too accurate, it's too accurate!" It's even more powerful than Kobe's! Who in our team can guard against Xie's backlash? I may be able to cause a great disturbance to him, but I can't always guard against him, can JR Smith be trusted? JR's bouncing is not as good as it used to be, alas......"

On the field, the atmosphere was a little tense, the opponent was two points ahead, the pressure was on the home team's side, Coach Casey did not call a timeout, Kyle Lowry held the ball in his hand, his face was solemn, and he was short of breath.

"This one is very important for us and we must not lose!" Kyle Lowry's eyes were grim and he brought the ball to the half, and Xie Chen kept staring at him.

"Ready to fight back? You vote, I won't guard against you, you will definitely not hit. Xie Chen saw that Lowry was nervous, and took the opportunity to put pressure on Lowry's provocation.

Lowry wouldn't believe Xie Chen's nonsense, but this time, Lowry really wanted to fight Xie Chen alone.

Lowry was one-on-one with Xie Chen at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, he still didn't mean to pass the ball, his body was outside the three-point line, Xie Chen had to watch out for Lowry's three-point shot, because this guy had already shot 6 of 9 tonight, and he was in very good shape, if they were allowed to overtake at this juncture, it would be troublesome.

Lowry controls the rhythm, suddenly, stops the ball, and makes a shot!

Xie Chen hurriedly followed, and he didn't jump in a hurry, but fortunately he didn't have impulsiveness, because Lowry wanted to cheat the foul!

Xie Chen's body moved in front of Lori, Lori didn't care whether Xie Chen jumped or not, and leaned directly on Xie Chen, Xie Chen was also startled, he didn't expect that in the end he would pin his hopes on touching porcelain, but fortunately, Xie Chen reacted quickly, and when he saw that he had missed the best shooting opportunity, he hurriedly withdrew his body, did not let Lori touch the porcelain successfully, and knocked down the basketball in Lori's hand.

This hit also helped Lowry, Lowry used his body in front of Xie Chen, he quickly grabbed the ball, at this time, Xie Chen didn't dare to touch Lowry anymore, for fear that this guy wanted to make a foul again, at this time, Lowry quickly threw it to the basket, and the ball went in!

Because he's already inside the three-point circle, it's a two-point shot.

"It's a draw, Kyle Lowry is good!" The fans at the scene also got excited.

Xie Chen was a little depressed, Lowry had already scored a lot of points on his head today, which made him lose face, just like this ball, he had defended it very well, but Lowry still scored.

"We must not let them go into extra time, my teammates are no longer motivated to win." Xie Chen had to settle the game in just over a minute.

Since you don't want to play overtime, you have to choose to score a three-pointer, but at this time, with Stephen Curry's three-point ability, will it be too risky? If you miss, you probably won't play overtime because they lose!

"Perhaps, I should trust LeBron James." After thinking about it for a while, Xie Chen decided to use another way. (To be continued.) )
