The impact of Xie Chen is huge, especially after Kobe Bryant officially withdrew from the league, Xie Chen has become that spiritual symbol.

In its farewell ****** to Kobe, the NBA wrote: "Thank you for your persistence, even though your body yells 'no,' your mind and heart keep saying 'yes.'" ”

Xie Chen has the same persistence and desire for victory as Kobe, and many people feel that there will no longer be a second Kobe in the NBA, but from this point of view, Xie Chen is undoubtedly the person who is most like Kobe in the league today.

In fact, Kobe Bryant is also watching this game now, in his office, during the period after his official retirement, many people don't know that Kobe Bryant is still doing regular basketball training every morning, yes, even if he doesn't play anymore, he still insists on doing it, every day has not fallen, and he has insisted on living like this every day for so many years, and it is difficult to change it.

In his career kingdom, Kobe Bryant is still working hard, coming to work at his KOBE.INC at half past eight every day, and today because he has a lot of work to do, he has not gone back until now, it happens to be game time, and he, the big boss, has also put down what he is doing to watch the game.

"It's exactly like when I was back!" Kobe Bryant sat casually on the chair and looked at Xie Chen and smiled with satisfaction.

For Kobe, he still hopes that Xie Chen can beat James, because Xie Chen has achieved such amazing achievements in this second year, and it is inevitable that the future historical ranking will be higher than Kobe, but if Xie Chen can prevent James from winning the championship every year from now on, then James's championship will definitely be less than Kobe, and MVP Kobe has already lost to James, if he has an absolute advantage in the number of championships, it is also good.

Scene. A left-handed dunk amazed everyone, they didn't know Xie Chen, he did it when he was in the Heat, and this was still his regular weapon.

In last year's playoffs, Xie Chen's "left-handed kung fu" was eye-catching, and now it's time to reappear in the league!

Due to the absence of Tristan Thompson, a rebounding maniac. As a result, the Cavaliers lost a lot of frontcourt rebounding opportunities, and once the Knicks got the defensive rebound, the Knicks would become as fast as before.

Before, everyone thought that the Knicks would slow down this game, because Xie Chen didn't control the ball, and the speed of other people's advancement was a cut worse than Xie Chen, and Xie Chen's finishing ability was not like before, Xie Chen used to break fast, and there were two people under the basket to defend. Xie Chen is also at ease, but after Xie Chen's buckle just now, everyone knows that Xie Chen has not changed much.

Williams received a pass from the basket at half-court and quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and the fast break is what he does best, and he couldn't afford to miss that opportunity.

James, on the other hand, caught up quickly, followed Williams to the death, and never gave him an easy chance to score.

Xie Chen also hurriedly chased after him. Right behind the two.

Derrick Williams was fast and quickly rushed to the basket. But he was still very jealous of James's defense, and he noticed that his teammate Xie Chen was already following behind him, even if Xie Chen was injured, he still chose to hand over the ball to Xie Chen to deal with, not to force himself.

James found that Williams' speed dropped instead of going up when he was close to the basket. Immediately realized that Williams didn't attack the ball by himself, and sure enough, Williams hit the ball from behind, threw the ball to the person who came behind, and flashed to the side after passing the ball himself.

James hurriedly looked back. Sure enough, it was Xie Chen!

Xie Chen stepped in one step, instantly got the basketball, and flew up, James also quickly jumped on the spot, reaching out to cover Xie Chen!

Due to the physical contact between the two teams in the last game, there was also a beating incident, which caused Adam Xiaohua to be extremely dissatisfied, and warned both teams that the NBA has a great influence overseas, especially this is the scene of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the attention is very high, and there must be no fights on such a stage, which is not conducive to the future development of the NBA.

So another big showdown between James and Xie Chen, this time the two did not have physical contact, James did not take the initiative to touch Xie Chen, and Xie Chen also avoided James in the air.

James was in Xie Chen's right position, Xie Chen used his left hand when he got the ball, and after flying, he still used his left hand, James reached out to the basketball in Xie Chen's left hand, but he didn't touch it, and was dodged by Xie Chen in the air, and then his left hand was directly smashed into the frame!

“wow!”

The scene was shocked again!

Another left-handed dunk!

Bryant was also excited: "This ball...... It's like the one that Tracy deducted me back then! At that time, it seemed that it was Alston who passed the ball to him. ”

It's been so long, Kobe still remembers the ball that year, he almost remembers every time he played with Maddie, the ball Kobe was referring to when Maddie was in the Rockets, when the Rockets were fast-breaking, Alston was like Williams, the first to rush to the basket, and the last hit passed to Maddie behind, Maddie took off and dodged Kobe Bryant's dunk with his left hand.

"Although Xie's left-handed dunk is also good, it is still a little worse than Tracy." Kobe Bryant admired his old friend, especially Maddie's very good left and right hands, which made him particularly envious.

Xie Chen's left-handed dunk is indeed inferior to Maddie, but the people on the scene don't care about perfection at all, they are already content to scream.

"Haha, Xie defeated them with his left hand!"

"The left-handed God has reappeared!"

James showed a very helpless expression, for Xie Chen's left-handed ability, he had learned it as early as last year's playoffs, many stars have good left-handed ability, including James's own left-handed ability, for Xie Chen's, James is not too surprised.

Next, Xie Chen played another Maddie-style action.

He jumped to the basket at once at the left wing position, with the help of cover, but this time he behaved very gently, unlike before, as long as he passed the defense, the defender under the basket was a violent dunk.

This time, instead of facing the defenders head-on, he dodged them.

There are many ways to dodge and play, and Maddie's one is extremely dashing, dribbling with his left hand and getting close to defenders. Suddenly switch to the right hand, then feint with the right hand to make a pass to a teammate, then quickly pull back, and then hand the ball to the left hand, and complete the layup in an instant.

Xie Chen was fast, and the defenders didn't have time to react at all. Xie Chen's ball had already been shot.

Seeing Xie Chen's goal, Kobe Bryant smiled again, not only Kobe, but also Anthony, he also knew that this was a move that Maddie had used, because when Maddie used this action back then, Anthony was standing behind Maddie, and the ball was Anthony's Maddie, so Anthony witnessed all this.

Stephen Curry, who was watching the game, was also amazed: "Xie's technology is really speechless." If I hadn't spent my time shooting every day, my layups would have been better. ”

Curry is also humble, and his layups, while not as threatening as his shots, are already excellent.

With Xie Chen's excellent performance as usual, the Knicks and the Cavaliers are inseparable, which is not the result that the Cavaliers want to see.

At halftime, James made a rare fire in the locker room.

'It's a big game for us if we can win it at their home stadium. Make the series 3:1, then I promise you. 100% of us made it to the finals, and even if Xie can score 100 points in a single game, I guarantee that we will win! Last year, it was turned over by Xie 3:0, and this year will never happen again! So we have to take advantage of the victory to chase and win this game while Xie's injury has not fully recovered! ”

James' hunger for victory this year is stronger than in previous years. Although the series is now their Cavaliers leading, James still sees this game as more important than any other game, and if the series becomes 3-1, the Cavaliers only need one win to end the series, and everyone will do their best to move forward towards this goal. Everything will fall into place.

James's words still played a role. It may not be of much use to someone like J.R. Smith, but it is very useful for a strong and ambitious star like Kyrie Irving.

"LeBron is right, Xie played today with an injury, the home fans gave him a lot of support, and if he is allowed to equalize the total score of the series, the future is too uncertain. This one must be won! Owen said secretly.

Even Kobe Bryant and Popovich, two outsiders, believe that if the Cavaliers win this game, then the probability of the Cavaliers winning the Eastern Conference championship will reach more than 90 percent.

If they knew that Xie Chen would have to face a legendary team every time he was away from home, then they wouldn't be so conservative, and the remaining ten percent would have been made up.

This battle is crucial!

Kyrie Irving suddenly broke out in the second half, he first juggled and rushed to the basket, then threw it high, and played a good game of empty catch and dunk with Mozgov, and then, another offense, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, in the face of Ray Allen's defense, two back dribbles, the amplitude was very large, and then a forward rush, quickly stopped the crotch dribble, jumped and shot, Ray Allen couldn't keep up with Kyrie Irving's footsteps at all, and was played very badly.

This ball also made the Cavaliers' bench jubilant.

Owen's dribbling is really powerful, let alone the veteran Lei Allen, even the young Xie Chen is difficult to defend against Owen.

The Cavaliers quickly extended their lead to eight points.

How could the Knicks not know the significance of this victory! However, the Cavaliers already know the Knicks' routines well, and it seems that unless the Knicks rely on Xie Chen's anti-sky play, it will be difficult to complete the reversal.

And just when someone thought that the Knicks were gone, one person stepped forward.

He's the veteran who was almost shaken down by Owen just now, Ray Allen.

"Xie has to step up and score! At this time, if Xie can't chase the point difference back, then the game will enter the rhythm of the Cavaliers, and once the Cavaliers win this game, I am afraid that they will not be able to come back here. ”

Everyone pinned their hopes on Xie Chen, and the Cavaliers also put their greatest defensive efforts on Xie Chen.

Xie Chen doesn't dribble by himself now, but catches and shoots, so Xie Chen needs to run and cover with teammates, so it is also very difficult to defend Xie Chen, but fortunately, the Knicks team's cover is not too bad, and there is no excessive behavior, if Ci Shiping is present, JR Smith will have to worry about whether he will be elbowed when covering players.

And the kind cover also gave the Cavaliers a chance to defend against Xie Chen, but Xie Chen still relied on his speed, received the ball one step ahead of JR, and immediately made a shooting feint, JR hurriedly chased after him and jumped, because he didn't have time to care if Xie Chen was a feint,

Xie Chen made a feint to fly JR Smith, and the matter was not over, and he still didn't get a chance to shoot because Kyrie Irving came over again.

Xie Chen will have more than two defensive players at any time.

Xie Chen didn't make a strong throw, and quickly passed the ball to the empty Lei Allen, Lei Allen has always been very calm, even if he was almost shaken down by Owen just now, he is still unfazed, he knows what he can and can't do now, he has also won the highest glory, put himself in the best team and is in the most important position, after playing for so many years, he is the only one in the 96 golden generation who is still playing on the court.

When Ray Allen got the ball, Kobe Bryant's hand shook unconsciously.

"You have to go in." Kobe Bryant even prayed for Ray Allen.

In fact, Kobe and Ray Allen are not friends, they have not known each other since the 1996 draft, in 96 they flew to Chicago together to participate in training camps and participate in various physical examinations, when Kobe's physical examination was about two minutes, during the physical examination, Kobe kept saying "I don't have any injuries in my body, nothing to check!" And Ray Allen said to Kobe Bryant on the side: "That's because you're only 17 years old and you haven't done anything yet."

Kobe Bryant has always had that kind of attitude and that kind of confidence, and Ray Allen, that is, he talks a lot, the two are destined to become friends, many people who went to college at that time did not like Kobe, and after that, Ray Allen also criticized Kobe Bryant for being selfish.

However, both 20 years ago of the golden generation, Kobe and Ray Allen have experienced too much, and now the stars of the same class, whether it is Iverson or Nash, including Kobe, have left the NBA arena, only Ray Allen is still there, Kobe hopes that Ray Allen can continue the glory of the 96 golden generation and follow Xie Chen to win another championship.

Gentleman Lei shot out in a dashing manner and hit accurately!

After that, Xie Chen, who had been wandering outside the three-point line, received the ball again, once again attracted the defenders, and once again passed the ball to Ray Allen, who once again lived up to expectations and hit the ball!

No one would have expected that Ray Allen's two three-pointers were just the beginning!

When the Knicks were on the fast break, because the Cavaliers focused their defense on Xie Chen and Williams, Ray Allen got a lot of opportunities.

Ray Allen hit four three-pointers in a row in the crucial third quarter! Quickly overtake the score! (To be continued.) )
