Chapter 257: Lefu is injured!

The Heat was suppressed for nearly a whole game, and the score difference was so big that people once thought that the Heat was about to collapse, but I didn't expect that after Xie Chen's salvation, the savior, now, at the most important moment of the game, the Heat actually overtook the score!

This is a sea change for both teams, especially the Pacers, who are unwilling to lose the whole game like this!

Although Hibbert didn't come out, he also blamed himself in his heart, because he ignored his defender and kept his attention around the ball, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to find Hassan's opportunity in such a short time and pass the ball over at such a fast speed.

Hassan also yelled excitedly after the dunk, and Hassan didn't actually contribute much for the whole series, which was a key shot.

However, the game is not over yet!

Paul George, who was originally full of confidence in the series, finally fully recognized the disparity between the two teams, and he also understood that even if he could win this game, it would be impossible to defeat the Heat within seven games.

After the pause, George did not show how strong the desire to chase the score, there was no good opportunity to distribute the ball to his teammates, and finally under the conduction, seeing that the defender was one step away from him, George simply pulled up and shot three points, and then, to his own surprise, actually thrown!

"Oh, another three! Paul George has already scored almost 30 points, right? It's really a duel between aces, but it's a pity that Xie over there has already scored 45 points! ”

Xie Chen did his best this time, and he has already set his highest single-game score in the playoffs, and almost became the player with the highest score in the playoffs this season.

However, maybe it was too good luck when chasing points, now Xie Chen's three-point shooting rate has declined, Xie Chen no longer dares to rashly bet on three points, and it has not become very easy to break through the Pacers' defense, Xie Chen has begun to become a little tricky.

"They knew that I didn't dare to shoot three-pointers, so they were very tight on my breakthrough defense, but unfortunately Lowry's breakthrough skills were useless at such a critical time, but I couldn't use Wei Shao's breakthrough skills early."

Xie Chen was a little distressed and handed the ball to Wade, but unfortunately Wade seemed to have a big problem with his body at this time, and the success rate was not high, and in the end, the two teams played to a draw again! The game dragged on to overtime!

As soon as he walked off the court, Xie Chen sat directly on the chair angrily, Wade hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him after seeing it, he really didn't understand why Xie Chen attached so much importance to this victory, in fact, the overall performance of the Heat was not good, and it was already a lucky thing to be dragged into overtime, and it was the Pacers who should really be angry.

"Brother, don't worry, we have a chance, once we get into extra time, we will take the initiative more." Wade comforted Xie Chen.

The reason why Xie Chen was so angry was because there was no need for this overtime!

"If I had used Westbrook's breakthrough skills, the fight would have been over by now!" Xie Chen felt very aggrieved, he obviously had a stronger ability, but he couldn't show it, in order to deal with James, Xie Chen really endured too much.

However, as Wade said, in overtime, the balance of victory will be more in favor of stronger and more stable teams, the Pacers overall shooting rate in the first four quarters is very high, and in overtime, affected by both psychology and physical lĂŹ, will their shooting rate still be so high? Will the defensive efficiency still be that high?

In overtime, Xie Chen changed his way of playing, no longer scoring by himself, but whether it was shooting or layup, the opponent's defensive intensity must be very high, but constantly breaking through and letting his teammates get opportunities.

In the first ball of overtime, Xie Chen and Wade completed a wonderful cooperation, and after Wade received the pass, he made a decisive shot and took the lead by two points.

The Pacers still have the fighting spirit at this time, but the whole Heat team began to defend like an iron wall, increasing the pressure on the ball, increasing the speed of rotation, and limiting their passing routes.

When George Hill chose to break through on the right side, the whole Heat team put one side of his baseline and blocked his route to the top of the arc, George Hill went around in a big circle on the baseline and didn't find a chance, and finally the offensive time was approaching, so he had to shoot in a hurry, and Xie Chen, who was defending him, had already guessed George Hill's shooting action, so when he saw that George Hill was about to shoot, he immediately jumped up and stretched out his big palm to slap the ball down.

After using Griffin's blocking skills to block, the ball was still in the air and was not controlled by Xie Chen, and then, George Hill and Xie Chen jumped up at the same time to reach the ball, and Xie Chen turned on Stephenson's rebounding skills again, and firmly controlled the ball in his hands without any suspense.

Happily, Wade at this time is already about to go!

Xie Chen took two steps with the ball and made a long pass directly, Wade faced a one-man defense, and easily got rid of the dunk in European steps!

"Oh no! Xie and D-WADE are starting to make a big splash together! The connection between the two of them is terrible! D-WADE is still at its peak! ”

Pacers fans are desperate to see this scene, that's right, Wade's success rate is still very high when he is about to play, not even lower than Xie Chen, as long as Xie Chen gets the ball, he can hand the ball to the other party with complete confidence.

At the beginning of overtime, the Heat scored 4 points in a row, and the Pacers began to be a little anxious, and Hibbert also attacked hard after receiving the ball, hitting Hassan's body inside, and then turned around and jumped, Hassan jumped violently and slapped it out!

Hassan Whiteside, who has been aggrieved for three games, finally vented all the grievances in his stomach!

And this ball hit Xie Chen's hand!

Xie Chen launched a fast attack for the first time, and Paul George also attacked and intercepted for the first time, who knew that when he reached the three-point line, Xie Chen made a quick stop and suddenly shot three points!

Paul George was completely unexpected, and thought that Xie Chen would rush to the basket with all his mind, so he stopped, but he didn't even have a chance to stretch out his hand, so he could only watch Xie Chen jump up and shoot.

Then, in the ball!

50 points! This is Xie Chen's 50th point in this game! This is also the highest single-game score for an individual in the playoffs this season!

"Sure enough, the record for the highest score still belongs to Xie, I have long known that he will score more than 50 points in a single game in the playoffs, and I have always wondered why he didn't do that in the first two games, perhaps, the first two games were too easy to win, and he didn't bother to do it."

Paul George finally saw with his own eyes what a super scorer is, he is really fast, ruthless, and accurate, not only accounting for most of the team's scores, but also rebounding and assisting, and even having as many as 3 blocks.

"He's completely dominating the game on both ends of the floor, this guy is horrible, the Bulls and Rose are dangerous, and LeBron isn't going to be too optimistic." Paul George closed his eyes and then bit off his shirt, unwilling but had to accept the fact.

In the end, the Heat suddenly woke up in the playoffs, a wave directly overturned the Pacers, Xie Chen then got two more free throw opportunities, and the final personal score was fixed at 52 points, surpassing the previous scores of Stephen Curry and James Harden, becoming the highest personal score in this year's playoffs.

Heat, 3:0!

The fans at the scene all left their seats with a disappointed face, everyone's faces were full of despair, there was no hope, they were beaten 3-0 by the opponent, and it was impossible to chase it back.

Frank, Paul George, George Hill, and David West also left the scene in silence and gloomy faces.

All the Heat players high-fived each other, and this series, they can finally sit back and relax!

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your efforts tonight, making it a lot easier for us." Wade was the first to step forward and hug Xie Chen.

Xie Chen, who had been tense, finally smiled: "Thank you for helping me get past the first round so easily, and now I can finally say, 'Hey, man, I'm already thinking about the next round opponent!'" ’。 ”

"Hahaha, let's endure it for two more days, low-key character." Wade laughed.

The news of the Heat's victory was first known to opponents who regarded the Heat as their future enemies, such as the Chicago Bulls, who also won the match point.

Rose looked at Xie Chen with a happy face on the screen, smiled and said to himself: "It looks like the next round is our showdown!" Thanks, wait for me in Miami, and I'll personally let you taste the bitter fruits of a playoff loss! ”

Stephen Curry and James Harden also saw the news of the Heat's victory for the first time, especially what they cared about was that Xie Chen scored 52 points, breaking their scoring record, Harden showed off his score to Xie Chen after every game, and now he feels so embarrassed, while Curry is calculating how many three-pointers Xie Chen has shot in this game, what is the difference between the two......

James and the Cavaliers must have known this result, but this result was expected by James, even if Xie Chen scored 52 points, even if Xie Chen successfully reversed 18 points, it would not surprise James, Xie Chen was able to do this, what really made James care about their next round opponent, is it the Hawks or the Wizards?

In the last game, under Paul Pierce's magical stunner, the Wizards actually defeated the Hawks, and the score was also very close, and the suspense was still retained at the last moment, but unfortunately, tonight, there was no chance for Pierce to say "That's why I'm here" again, the Hawks sharpshooter Korver made a powerful move at the end of the game, shot down the Wizards, and forced the Wizards into danger again!

The subsequent Warriors and Pelicans were probably the least suspenseful game, this time, Curry got a super triple-double of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, which swept the Pelicans 4-0 and became the first team to advance in the first round of the playoffs. Anthony Davis slashed 38+14 in the air, and he had no choice but to accept the fate of going home.

In this game, Curry made 6 of 8 three-pointers and scored 6 three-pointers in one game, continuing to be the player with the most three-point shots in the playoffs.

The latest game of the day came from the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies, who beat their opponents on the road like the Heat, leading 3-0, and I believe Will Jones must be happy.

With a 3-0 lead, Xie Chen can finally sleep well, although there is still one victory left, theoretically the Pacers still have hope of turning the tables, but everyone knows that this is impossible, unless Xie Chen and Wade are injured, as long as one of the two is there, the Pacers will never be allowed to turn over.

The next day, maybe the last two days of the Heat's stay in Indiana, so everyone was training and joking with a relaxed face, and everyone also discussed the current playoff shape, for today's fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, everyone agreed that the Cavaliers would sweep the opponent like the Warriors to advance, and Xie Chen also agreed with this view.

"The Cavaliers' lineup is terrible, a James Celtics can't deal with it, not to mention Irving and Love, James obviously doesn't play with all his strength, this victory can definitely be won as long as James wants it." Xie Chen thinks that this is a game without suspense.

When it was time for the two teams to play, Chalmers invited Xie Chen: "Are you really not going to watch the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics?" ”

"Yes, I'm not going, there won't be anything to watch in this game, the Cavaliers will sweep the Celtics to advance, I'd rather continue to practice shooting here." Xie Chen smiled and replied, he didn't want to waste any more time, he had seen enough of the knight's game, and he knew enough about the opponent.

At this moment, the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, ushered in the fourth series of the Cavaliers and the Celtics.

Before the game, LeBron James gathered the whole team together, and the leader said to everyone: "The Warriors have qualified, we can't fall behind, right now, in this game, let's beat them in one go!" The Hawks and the Wizards look like they're going to fight hard, we have to end this series early, rest early, the sooner we rest, the better for our next round, this one, we have to win! ”

In fact, there is no need for James to cheer up, and there is no need for the Cavaliers to be high-spirited, and this game is also a solid win, because the Celtics are all demoralized, except for one person, Kelly Olynyk.

Olynyk is a player who entered the NBA in 2013, a two-meter-one-three center, who averaged 12 points per game in the regular season this season, but averaged less than 4 points per game in the playoffs.

Just as Xie Chen continued to practice shooting and James made a layup, he didn't expect Chalmers to come back.

Xie Chen smiled: "Didn't you watch the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics?" ”

Chalmers spread his hands: "Like you said, there is no suspense at all, the Cavaliers opened the score in the first quarter. ”

Xie Chen smiled and passed the ball to Chalmers, and just as the two were about to play one-on-one, Hassan Whiteside suddenly trotted over in a panic: "Thanks, Mario!" Come and watch the game! ”

Seeing Hassan's solemn expression, Xie Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened?" ”

Hassan replied solemnly: "Kevin Lefou, injured! And it doesn't look like it's hurting lightly! ”

"What?" Xie Chen and Chalmers glanced at each other, at this moment, I don't know whether it is joy or sadness! R1152
