Chapter 265: Jimmy Butler Who Broke Out!
Thibodeau stood on the sidelines, his face furious, his pale blue shirt propping up his round belly, as if his fat figure had been forced to grow up. △ ↗ Top Novel, x.
Xie Chen likes the thrill of playing the opposing coach to call a timeout, as a player, it is difficult for you to have a chance to play with the opponent's coach in a dignified manner, but playing on the field to force the opposing coach to call a timeout is undoubtedly very satisfying for the player, obviously, this timeout, Thibodeau is called because of Xie Chen.
The score chased from 17 points to single digits in just a few minutes, and the Heat's scoring during this period was all related to Xie Chen, before Xie Chen assisted his teammates, and even dunked did not make Thibodeau call a timeout, but Xie Chen himself projected a three-point shot, giving Thibodeau a signal that he must start to contain Xie Chen's signal.
Everyone knows that once Xie Chen is full of firepower, no one can stop him, he can score a lot of points in a quarter to beat opponents all over the ground, if Thibodeau wants to win the Heat, he must also know something about Xie Chen, so as soon as Xie Chen made the first three-pointer, Thibodeau immediately called a timeout.
As soon as the scene was paused, the fans in the audience were all high and high, and their voices were even higher.
"Haha, I knew that Xie would catch up with the score, no matter how many points behind, as long as Xie is there, we are not afraid!"
It stands to reason that the first game of the series fell behind by many points at the beginning, and it was at home, which was a kind of torture for the fans, but the fans in the American Airlines Arena never lost confidence from beginning to end, and their trust in Xie Chen even exceeded that of Wade and LeBron before, which is extremely terrifying.
Thibodeau bent his waist to face the crowd of players, and said with a stern expression: "Hey, listen, I will never allow the lead that we have worked so hard to achieve with all our strength to be wiped out by a kid in two or three minutes!" Chris Shea. We all know that he's very good and you can't treat him like a rookie, so you're going to keep an eye on him and cut him off from his teammates. Let the rest of the Heat score, of course, we all have to be prepared for the worst, because the rest of the Heat is also very good, and it is only a matter of time before the score is scored, but at least, it will not be that fast! ”
Thibodeau was furious, and would rather let others score than let Xie Chen settle the difference in a minute or two. This is an insult to Thibodeau and all the bulls!
After the pause, Xie Chen obviously felt the pressure imposed by the Bulls on him, the outside shooting has been completely blocked, and if you want to break through, you won't be given space at all, forcing you to pass the ball out quickly, if you don't break through, you can't attract the bag clip, there is no way to create a vacant opportunity for your teammates, Thibodeau is planning to completely block Xie Chen, and Xie Chen's consistent approach is to pass the ball out. This time it was no exception, and it was handed over to Wade.
Wade is also a strong individual and playmaker. Since Xie Chen's side has attracted strong defense, it is much easier than others, such as Luo Erdeng.
Roldeng averaged nearly 20 points per game in the last series and is a reliable teammate, and he is the only one who can fill Bosh after the team lacks a strong scorer.
Rohr Deng received Wade's pass and was basically without defensive pressure. Hit a mid-range shot.
Thibodeau put his hands on his chest, and he recognized the ball!
He would rather accept that the Heat are using this way to reduce the score reasonably little by little, rather than see Xie Chen like Curry, no, it is more unreasonable than Curry to get it in a few rounds.
The most critical thing is. It wasn't Xie Chen who scored, and the psychological impact on the whole Bulls team was different. Xie Chen scored, the whole Bulls team was very unhappy, coupled with the aura of Xie Chen, the new MVP, the MVP score was arrogant and deterrent, and everyone didn't feel it when the role players scored.
The cheap Joakim Noah also had to pick up the basket after a feint, the Bulls continued to maintain the point difference, and when it was the Heat's turn to attack, the Bulls still blocked Xie Chen's point, the last time the other Heat players successfully hit, Xie Chen didn't mind being "isolated" again this time, letting others complete the offense, and he was ready to rush to grab the rebound in the front court at any time.
And this time, Luo Er Deng failed to hit again, and the rebound was also hugged by Jimmy Butler, and Xie Chen was not given a chance to steal.
Gradually, the atmosphere of the scene also became dull, and the previous frenzy of chasing points seemed to dissipate to nowhere.
Two top-level Japanese fans started talking.
"I didn't expect that the second quarter was almost over before I knew it, and without Xie participating in the offense, the Heat's chasing points became slow."
"That's right, Xie often has an unstoppable momentum in scoring, and it is difficult to stop once it is opened, and the whole Heat team has to keep looking for the most suitable opportunity to score, and the final shooting rate may not be as good as Xie's unreasonable offense. I heard that Xie has also watched our country's "Slam Dunk", you say, which character is he more similar to? ”
"Hmm...... It's so hard to say, Rukawa Kaede? They're all cool, they're all scoring aces, Immortal? Sometimes a lot of Xie's passes are as cool as Sendo, Mitsui Shou? They're all three-point picks. Oh my God, in this way, Xie is really like a combination of all the excellent players, I really didn't expect us yellow people to be so good, it is estimated that South Korea will say that Xie Chen is their Korean in a few days. ”
The conversation between the two Japanese fans in Japanese did not attract the attention of the surrounding crowd, but the fact is indeed as the two said, once Xie Chen did not participate in the attack, the Heat's chasing points came to a standstill, although there were also scores, but obviously lost the momentum just now. The most important thing is that it is not Xie Chen who scores, but it is very important to have a psychological impact on the Bulls' whole team, so that they can complete the offense calmly and continue to maintain the score advantage.
Soon, the halftime was over, and the Bulls still held a nine-point lead. Trailing by single digits at halftime is not too bad for the Heat, and in the second half, the Heat have a chance to overtake the score, whether it is through Xie Chen or otherwise, which is to be expected.
But I never expected that there was a person who suddenly broke out in the third quarter, and not only on the offensive end, the offense and defense completely worked, and this person is the player who is very likely to become the most improved player of the year, Jimmy Butler!
The Most Improved award will be announced in a few days, and Jimmy Butler is considered the player with the best chance of winning the award, averaging 20 points per game this season, along with 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals. Of course, in addition to Butler, Draymond Green of the Warriors and Hassan Whiteside of the Heat all have a chance to win this award.
Of course, Xie Chen also hopes that his good brother Hassan can get it, but unfortunately Butler's average per game is too amazing, and Hassan broke out a little late. The score is relatively small, so it is more disadvantageous.
Speaking of Jimmy Butler, this guy is also a non-smiling person on the court, suddenly using his feet to pass Wade, and then directly from the baseline to the basket, and a backhand dunk.
And this was just the beginning, and then he hit another three-pointer, and at the beginning of the third quarter, Jimmy Butler alone stretched the score again.
At this time, Xie Chen had not yet played. Wade was a little anxious when he saw that the score was about to open again, and he singled Jimmy Butler, but he didn't get rid of the defense, and finally forced a shot, but he was blocked by Butler!
"What?" Xie Chen, who was sitting on the bench, was also quite excited, Wade was actually covered by Butler? How dare this guy cover the boss of our team?!
"This guy...... It's arrogant, it looks like I'm going to give him some color later. "Jimmy Butler didn't just pull the score away. made it more difficult for Xie Chen to chase the score, and even covered Wade with a hot pot. How could Xie Chen endure this!
It didn't take long for Xie Chen to appear on the stage, and on the defensive end, in addition to defending his own position, he had also been aiming at Jimmy Butler's movements, waiting for an opportunity to use Griffin's power to avenge Wade.
If Wade knew. I definitely don't want Xie Chen to do this, after all, once he leaves Rose and turns to defend Butler, then Rose will get a chance, but I don't know if it's Xie Chen's wishful thinking. Once Jimmy Butler has the ball, he rarely passes it to Rose once he chooses to attack.
Xie Chen was even wondering, would there be any gap between Ross and Butler? Of course, it doesn't make any sense to think about these things boringly.
Two rounds later, with Xie Chen scoring two points and an assist, Xie Chen finally found an opportunity to balance Butler.
In the few minutes when Xie Chen came on the court to chase points, Butler still continued to score, still unstoppable, and instantly became the Bulls' most scorer, and even Rose was eclipsed, which made Xie Chen very unhappy.
This time, Gasol received the ball in a high position, turned around for half a circle and didn't find the right person, and suddenly saw Jimmy Butler on the right side get rid of Wade and rush directly to the basket, Gasol threw it high under the basket, ready to give Butler an aerial relay!
Butler wants an empty dunk!
Just kidding, whose home is this? How could Xie Chen allow you to play this kind of slam dunk show!
Xie Chen aimed at this opportunity, ran directly to the basket, and in three or two steps, he had already surpassed Wade and jumped one step ahead.
Jimmy Butler has taken off, just holding the basketball with both hands, and when he was about to dunk in the air, he suddenly felt a wind behind him, of course Butler couldn't look back, he could only quickly put the ball into the basket, but at this time there was already a sense of fear.
"Is it Wade?" Butler was shocked, Butler covered Wade just now, you must know that Wade is a master of blocking in the guard, according to his personality, he will definitely return it.
However, the next block is far more brutal than what Wade can give.
Bang!
It's not a dunk, it's the sound of a basketball being slapped on the rebound, Butler's two-handed dunk was slapped by Xie Chen and stared at the rebound, Butler was simply shocked, this momentum, this power, just like a person over two meters and more than 100 kilograms did it, but it turned out to be ...... Xie Chen?
When Butler saw the jersey number when he fell, he couldn't believe his eyes, unfortunately, this ball finally touched Xie Chen's body and went out of bounds, but this block still gave the opponent a strong shock.
"Oh, what a brutal cap! It's been a long time since I've seen it! ”
"Haha, look at Jimmy Butler, the whole person looks stupid."
Jimmy Butler accidentally fell to the ground when he landed because of his physical collision with Xie Chen, and Xie Chen landed smoothly and unharmed, after landing, Xie Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to Butler, this smile obviously had a little taste of smugness and conspiracy, which made Butler dare not accept Xie Chen's friendship for the first time.
At this time, Noah hurriedly stepped forward to squeeze Xie Chen away and pulled Butler up.
Wade also stepped forward and complained to Xie Chen with the same smile: "You snatched the cap that originally belonged to me. ”
Just now, Butler cut in the air and didn't completely shake off Wade, Wade had a chance to chase the other party from behind, but just when Wade was about to jump, Xie Chen suddenly rushed forward with amazing momentum.
Xie Chen smiled: "Haha, I know you can cover it too, but there will never be such a domineering as me." ”
Peak Wei's block is really terrible, Wade is indeed strong, at least in terms of the figure of the guard, much stronger than Xie Chen, but even so, Wade has to admit that even him, at the moment of the block, he can't give the audience such a wonderful visual enjoyment, and when he shoots the rebound, it seems like something has detonated in an instant, and the strength is very strong, not at all like Xie Chen's strength can do it, but he did it.
Wade could only understand that as Xie Chen's determination to avenge himself.
The Heat's opponent this time is really different, even if he is so cruelly blocked, Jimmy Butler still doesn't say a word, and his facial expression is also very flat, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.
Then, Butler then caught the ball and hit a jumper.
"Oh? This guy from the Bulls is good, after being blocked by Xie so fiercely, he can still calmly complete his shot. He's already scored 20 points, right? More than Ross. ”
"Jimmy Butler had two 30+ shows in the last series, and he's definitely the Bulls' strongest scorer right now."
Not only the fans at the scene, but even Xie Chen, as an opponent, had to look at Jimmy Butler differently, and quietly scored 20 points, without exaggerating his facial expressions, and without trash talk, but the more this happened, the more terrifying Xie Chen felt.
With Jimmy Butler's explosion in the third quarter and Gasol's shooting rebounding, the Bulls not only held the lead in the third quarter, but also further expanded the score, until the fourth quarter, the Bulls still led by as much as 15!
Xie Chen had to be anxious at this time, 15 points behind in the first quarter and 15 points behind in the fourth quarter were two completely different concepts.
But at this time, Xie Chen's shooting rate, or the shooting rate of the whole Heat team, was in trouble, and he couldn't shoot, but fortunately, Hassan Whiteside struggled to grab the rebound in the front court, and once again dialed the ball to Xie Chen, the defender in front of Xie Chen became Jimmy Butler, only to see Xie Chen step back and shoot three points in an instant of a fake breakthrough!
"What?" After Xie Chen shot, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him! (To be continued......)
