Ten years ago, there were countless people who expected James and Anthony to meet in the Finals one day, just like expecting Olajuwon's Rockets and Michael Jordan's Bulls to meet in the playoffs.

Ten years later, the league exceeded everyone's expectations, and Anthony did not continue to be the person who went hand in hand with James, but instead appeared a new generation of stars such as Durant, Stephen Curry, and Xie Chen, and the world became theirs.

Although it is through Xie Chen's light that he has come to this day, Anthony still has to prove himself in the face of his friend and lifelong enemy James, Anthony has brotherly love for James, but also jealousy between opponents, he doesn't want to be pressed by James for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to be a loser for the rest of his life.

James wants to win this game very much, he wants to defeat Xie Chen in two consecutive games, so he fights to the end, even if he fights for 50 points, he still doesn't feel tired, but every time James chases 8 points, Anthony will be very ruthless to expand the difference to double digits again, and Anthony uses these two response balls to show his attitude.

"This ball, the Cavaliers don't have a chance." Popovich predicted that the Cavaliers and Knicks would be tied 1-1.

Sure enough, with Anthony responding to the ball several times, as James' physical strength declined, and his shooting percentage decreased, he could no longer change the trend of this game.

The Knicks led all the way to the end, defeating the Cavaliers on the road and rewriting the score to a 1-1 draw!

"Well done, guys!" Fisher, who led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in his career, was excited, and high-fived the players one by one after the game, as if he was not a coach at the moment, but just a substitute player who had no chance to play.

The Knicks' original goal was to win a game on the road, but now that it has been successfully completed, all the players are relaxed. The next two games are back at home, and the Knicks' home win percentage this season has not changed as much as the Warriors and Spurs. state, but the winning rate is still significantly higher than the away winning rate, especially in the playoffs, and the home team has not been defeated!

But for the Cavaliers, it's not so good.

"It's back on the same page. This series is probably the toughest challenge of my career. James dragged his tired body off the field, the whole person was sullen, and there was no communication with his teammates and coaches.

James finally broke his single-game scoring record in the playoffs, got 50+ performances, and played a Kobe-style game of individual heroism, but the team lost.

After the two sides drew 1-1, the media and netizens have greatly improved the winning rate of the Knicks, and the Knicks' performance in this game is really good. The performance in the first two quarters even gave people a glimpse of the momentum that only a championship team has, especially the performance of Derrick Williams, which is even more eye-catching, and he has gained a lot of fans in this battle.

Back in the dressing room, Williams was still excited, albeit well. But his requirements for himself became even higher, and he said to Xie Chen: "Xie." Should I continue to lose weight and increase my speed in the past two days? When I played the fast break today, I didn't think I was fast enough! ”

Anthony smiled when he heard it: "Williams, you're going to burst the Cavaliers' basket tonight, why are you still not satisfied?" ”

Xie Chen is very happy that Williams has such an excellent performance, not only is he not proud, but he hopes to make himself better, and this insatiable thinking will make a person keep improving. It's a good thing.

Williams continued to ask Xie Chen and Anthony, "Who do you think is faster between me and Iguodala?" If I catch the ball and play a fast break, will he be able to catch up and block me? ”

Both of them laughed, Williams was really confident this time, and now he began to think about the next Finals.

Fisher reminded, "Williams, don't think about Iguodala just yet. The knights are still a difficult problem for us and we have to take it seriously. ”

For Fisher's overly cautious attitude, Xie Chen feels that it is not good, or that there are pros and cons, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, if it is a team like the Warriors that has set a record in the regular season, it is correct to be modest and cautious to play any team, but the Knicks are different, they are always a team that is eighth in the East, everyone has not forgotten this when they play, and they already have an inferiority complex when they see the opponent, and their self-confidence collapses when they lose, so Xie Chen likes to see his teammates so confident.

Xie Chen interjected: "Now we have tied the score 1-1 on the road, and Cameron and I are confident of winning the next two home games, so brothers, please remember that we are not the team that ranks eighth, but the team that will keep creating the Black Eight Miracle!" ”

……

After the Eastern Conference Finals, everyone's focus shifted to the Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs won the first game on the road against the Warriors, which was a big blow for the Warriors, and this second game must also be won, if they lose two consecutive home games, then the series is really going to end.

So everyone saw a more focused Warriors in this game, Popovich knew that it would be difficult to win this game again, so when the Warriors scored the first three-pointer, Popovich immediately called a timeout and scolded the Spurs' starting five, in fact, he just scolded Danny Green, and called a timeout in less than a minute after the opening, except for Popovich, the old guy, there was no one, the purpose of scolding was to make all of them pay attention, because it was impossible for the Warriors to lose this game, if they wanted to win them, You have to be more focused than they are.

However, even if Popovich knows how to use the formation and figure out the psychology of the players, the strength of the Warriors is there, and there are some things that he can't stop as a coach.

The Warriors, especially Stephen Curry, played very smartly this game, if you don't let me shoot three points, I simply don't shoot three points, at least I don't force three points, keep breaking through layups and points, Klay Thompson, Barnes keep hitting three-pointers, and even Draymond Green hits three-pointers one after another.

On the Spurs' side, only Danny Green can respond on three-point shooting, Aldridge's mid-range shooting percentage is not bad, but it is still a little reluctant to play Draymond Green in the low post, Draymond Green is physically strong, very powerful, and has a lot of small movements. He also knows how to put pressure on the referee to make the more gentlemanly Aldridge very difficult to play, Leonard is still the most key figure in the Spurs, when the team can't score, he can always stand up and play unreasonable basketball like a superstar and complete the score, it's hard to imagine if Leonard is not in the Spurs. What will it look like.

In the end, the Warriors, like the Knicks, also took a big lead and turned the score into a 1-1 tie.

The Eastern Conference Finals, like the Western Conference Finals, look like it will take more than six games to decide.

……

The Knicks left for New York early the next morning, and the Cavaliers had to pack their bags and go over to play two games on the Knicks' turf, and everyone thought the Knicks would win at least one of these two games. If they win both home games, the Cavaliers will be the underdogs, and that would be in jeopardy.

Back in New York, Xie Chen should have been actively preparing for the third game against the Cavaliers in the past two days, training with his teammates every day, but Xie Chen couldn't devote all his time to the team and his teammates, and he had to take care of his wife and upcoming children.

There is less than a month, only a little more than half a month. Xie Chen is about to become a father.

It's a quiet experience for any man. During Katie's pregnancy, Xie Chen had to go to various cities to play games every day, and he didn't have much time to accompany Katie, which made Xie Chen feel very guilty about his wife, but Katie loved Xie Chen deeply and didn't complain about Xie Chen. And as long as the Knicks have a game, every game has not fallen, Katie has a big belly, and she can't show up on the scene to cheer for her husband like the wives of other stars, which is also Katie's regret.

The whole Knicks team knew the situation at Xie Chen's family. Although Xie Chen was absent from the team's training that day, the coaching staff and teammates did not blame Xie Chen.

Katie's figure has been out of shape, but her appearance is still intoxicating, some beauties look stunning at first glance, but they feel mediocre when they see more, and some beauties will never get tired of it no matter how long you watch it, Katie belongs to the latter, and her beauty is not lost to any female star who becomes famous by her appearance.

Katie and Xie Chen sat on the 4,500-foot balcony basking in the sun, in the past, only Katie was alone, but now with Xie Chen's company, Katie felt very happy, although she wanted Xie Chen to accompany her like this all the time, but she still said to Xie Chen: "You don't have to accompany me, dear, it's okay with me, it's the most important moment of the game, you better go to the stadium to train with your teammates, they need you more." ”

Xie Chen held Katie's white jade hand and shook his head: "Even if I win the next two games, I still have to go to Cleveland again, and if I reach the finals, I may spend less time with you, now, you are the most important thing." ”

What Katie wanted to say, Xie Chen continued: "Don't worry, the next two home games will not be as difficult as the away games, I am confident that these two games can be won, the team is not only me as a leader, it is enough to have Anthony in charge." ”

Katie saw that Xie Chen was so insistent on accompanying her, and she didn't say anything, she snuggled on Xie Chen's shoulder, only hoping that this moment would last a little longer, no one would have imagined that the goddess who was domineering before marriage and made it difficult for people to surrender in bed and under the bed would become such a small woman after marriage.

Xie Chen felt Katie's love for him, and he also knew that Katie would pay attention to every game he played.

"It seems that during the game, I have to try to control my emotions, because when I get angry, it will also affect my wife." Xie Chen stroked Katie's smooth hair and thought to himself.

Fortunately, JR Smith has been subdued by Xie Chen, and Dellavedova does not dare to make a mistake to Xie Chen, the smell of gunpowder in this series should not be too heavy, and there are only a few villains in the Cavaliers, except for the two of them, there may only be one Tristan Thompson......

New York, Madison Square Garden has not had a performance in the Eastern Conference Finals for too long, and the lack of home-court advantage has tormented New York fans.

As an eighth-seeded team, Knicks fans are already satisfied with reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, and now it's a draw, which means they have a good chance of advancing to the Finals!

People are always expecting a miracle, and who says the Knicks can't win the Eastern Conference as eighth in the East? It's not like they haven't done it before!

On the day of the game, the popularity of Madison Square Garden was no less than that of Cleveland's home court, and when James played, the Knicks fans did not give him face at all, and the court was full of boos, it seemed that the Knicks fans were much wilder than the Cavaliers fans.

"Thank you, teach them a hard lesson!" After Xie Chen appeared, many people began to shout at Xie Chen.

On the sidelines, there was also a "female fan" who joined the warm atmosphere, standing in the VIP seat and cheering for the Knicks like everyone else, this "female fan" also appeared in the Quickloan Arena in the first two games, she was Kate Upton.

Xie Chen noticed this woman and was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that she, a big star, would completely catch up with basketball without working.

Before the game, the players on both sides were still very serious and attached great importance to this game, the Knicks had no burden on this game, and now the score between the two sides is tied 1-1, this is the home court of the Knicks again, even if they lose this game, the next is their home court, for the Cavaliers, the psychological pressure is great.

James scored 50 points in the last game and didn't win, he was very angry, he was very unhappy for the past two days, and he only lost one game in the series, and he took it so seriously, and it also made Irving and Love see how much James attached importance to this series.

Tonight, the Knicks will face a group of "angry knights".

James still scored as hard as in the last game, as if he was getting old if he didn't work hard, leading the team to lead the score as soon as he came up, and he was passive in the last game, making it very hard for the Cavaliers to chase points.

And seeing the knight so crazy, the first person to make a move was not Xie Chen, but Anthony.

Anthony first scored four points in a row to keep the situation going, and then quickly hit a three-pointer that surprised everyone.

Anthony didn't have a particularly impressive performance in the first two games, but tonight, it looked different.

In the face of Anthony's tough response, James didn't care at all: "Come on, Cameron, you and Xie go together, we should have a decent showdown!" (To be continued.) )
