Chapter 61: Heroes

This is the first time Xie Chen has encountered overtime since entering the NBA, and the appearance of overtime has proved in a certain sense that the intensity of this game is equal to the level of the two sides, and it is a double test of the player's body and will.

All the main players of the two teams were already tired, but Xie Chen, who was perhaps the worst of the ten people, was still full of energy.

On the one hand, it is because the use of system skills does not consume the body, and the most important thing is that the rewards of the system task make Xie Chen so excited that he can't feel tired, and when it comes to overtime, Xie Chen is one step closer to completing this task.

In overtime, the two teams often have better or extraordinary performances, Xie Chen is now in good shape, and similarly, overtime also forced the strongest eagles out.

In the fall of 2013, current Hawks head coach Budenholzer, who studied under Popovich, came to the Hawks and issued an instruction: Move the Hawks toward the Spurs, at least in terms of pick-and-rolls.

Why do the Eagles have such spurs? It's true that Coach Budden has been on the Spurs coaching team for 19 years, but there are too many people who are "produced by the Spurs", the Mavericks of the Little General, the Cavaliers of Mike Brown, and the 76ers of Brett Brown, why haven't they done it?

Everyone knows that the people the Spurs are looking for are some "weirdos" who play diligently and steadfastly, and "I just want to find a group of people who will go home from work after playing", which is the basic principle of Spurs recruitment.

And the Hawks recruit people the same as the Spurs, Millsap and Korver, are Jerry Sloan's favors, the players from the Jazz are honest and durable, needless to say, Sefolosha is also loved by the head coach for his diligence and solidity in the Thunder, and Horford, second only to Oden and Durant in the 2007 draft, but compared with the fame of the first two, he is taciturn and low-key, and perhaps the most incompatible with the Hawks is the backup point guard Schroeder.

The Hawks rarely attack at the top of the arc, mostly on the wings, with Millsap and Horford on each side, and two interior lines, mostly above the free-throw line.

Teague, Millsap or Horford, starting the offense with a high pick-and-roll, is usually the first option for the Hawks' offense, and Korver's baseline cross deep cut or wing curl is usually the second option.

On the court, Teague controls the ball on the right side, Chalmers defends, Horford blocks for him, and on the left side, Seflosha and Millsap have blocked space for Korver, and now Korver is defended by Xie Chen, so he also follows Korver step by step, although the basketball is not on Korver.

At this point, the attack on the right side worked, and the ball was not passed, but Teague drew the bag and passed it to Horford, who hit a layup.

At 110:108, the Eagles led by two points.

Every goal in extra time is crucial, and Xie Chen must return the color.

"Block the middle and put it on the side, limit the opponent's passing space, and force the opponent to pass far away." This is a principle that Popovich mentioned in 2004 when he wrote a paper for FIBA magazine, and the Eagles are doing the same.

Xie Chen used Lowry's skills to break through the defense on the right side, Horford put Bosh, crushed the control zhì penalty area, and did not give Xie Chen space to break through, as soon as Xie Chen broke through, Horford immediately stepped forward to attack, he overestimated Xie Chen's layup strength, Xie Chen did not hesitate to pass the ball to the vacant Bosh, Bosh did not disappoint everyone this time, close to the three-point line of the shot, hollow into the net.

"Nice pass! Xie Chen is more comfortable in terms of passing after breaking through the attraction bag. Ke Fan praised.

"That's right, the Hawks and the Heat play one and I play the other, maybe there will be overtime." Yang Yi saw that the score was anxious, and the Heat and Hawks were evenly matched, and thought that the second overtime was very likely.

Ke Fan said: "I don't think so, rebounding is very important in overtime, the Heat has no board, the Hawks offense has a shortcoming is that the frontcourt rebounding is very poor, but today both frontcourt rebounds and backcourt rebounds are ahead of the Heat, the Heat's interior line is really a problem, I think Riley is going to consider signing a blue-collar center who can grab the board." ”

Yang Yi also nodded in approval: "That's right, with such an inside line, today's game will be much easier." ”

Xie Chen kept 100% focus on every attack, he didn't want to have overtime, as the saying goes, the night is long and there are many dreams, he wants to try to solve the battle in this overtime!

Xie Chen held the ball in a high position and suddenly launched an attack, Lowry's skill was turned on, and he directly used his speed to pass Seflosha and rush straight to the basket!

"What a speed!" Horford didn't catch up in time, caught up from the left side, and faced Xie Chen, who jumped into the air, and slapped him hard!

Horford hit Xie Chen on the nose, Xie Chen was interfered with by Yanzhòng, and the basketball was thrown to the rebound at will, and it was not played 2+1.

"Damn! If I can get Rose's 100% layup, maybe this ball can play 2+1! Xie Chen felt that his confrontation in the air was still a little weaker.

While Xie Chen was annoyed, he didn't know that his nose had begun to bleed, and the blood was still dripping on the floor.

The game was suspended, and the team doctor hurriedly treated Xie Chen urgently, the whole Heat team was very worried, and Coach Spo also asked with concern: "Xie, is there anything wrong?" Do you want to take a break? ”

Xie Chen told him very categorically that he was okay and wanted to continue playing.

After a brief treatment, Xie Chen continued to play, hit both free throws, and scored the 38th point.

Everyone sweated for Xie Chen, thinking that Xie Chen should not dare to hit the basket again, right?

Who knows, in the next round, the breakthrough is still resolute! Because Xie Chen's strongest skill at the moment is to break through, he rushed to the basket again and again, and this time, although he caused a foul again, he was directly knocked to the ground by the opponent's inside!

The moment they saw Xie Chen fall to the ground, the hearts of countless people trembled, this small body ...... Can you hold back? He's not LeBron, he's not Wei Shao, if he falls, he will get up like no one else, Xie Chen did fall hard this time, but he still stood up strong and continued to focus on free throws.

"Xie Chen is really fighting, he is completely risking his life to play!" Ke Fan was shocked in his heart.

Yang Yi was also amazed: "It seems that he cares a lot about this victory, in fact, according to his current 40+ table, he is already impeccable, but he seems to care more about the team's gains and losses than personal wins and losses." ”

Seflosha was also extremely shocked when he saw it, and he couldn't help but step forward and say to Xie Chen: "Boy, I didn't expect you to work hard, don't bury your entire career because of a regular season!" ”

Xie Chen could hear that Sefolosha had good intentions, so he smiled faintly: "I'm not as fragile as you think. ”

The thin Xie Chen rushed into the inner line, which seemed to outsiders to be an extremely risky thing, because the inside players were tall and strong, as long as the two were on the same page, Xie Chen would definitely suffer, and if he was accidentally injured, he might be reimbursed for his entire career.

But what they don't know is that Xie Chen used Rose's power when he made a layup, and Rose was indeed plagued by injuries, but was he the kind of glass man who shattered when he touched it? Apparently not.

Even with Rose's strength to resist some of the pressure, Xie Chen still felt a little scarred now, but his desire to win the game was still undiminished.

Sefolosha was stunned for a moment after receiving the ball, and was quickly flicked by Xie Chen, the basketball was dialed to the front, and the two were entangled together, Xie Chen desperately broke free of Sefolosha and ran to grab the ball first, and at this time Sefolosha was still dragging Xie Chen behind.

Seeing that other players from the Eagles also rushed to grab the ball, Xie Chen actually rushed over and hugged the ball, and his whole body slammed on the floor like this, making people feel pain when they looked at it.

Xie Chen screamed in pain, and immediately passed the basketball to Luo Er Deng, who quickly went down and made a layup.

Coach Spo on the sidelines looked at the numb scalp and beat in his heart: "Chris Xie, you are so desperate!" He's literally playing a regular season game like a finals! ”

Thinking of the opinion that he once felt that Xie Chen was a brush and unprofessional, Coach Spo felt extremely guilty, is there a more professional embodiment of a player who is so desperate to fight for the team?

In the private club in New York, Scarlett saw the scene of Xie Chen falling to the ground to save the ball, and his heart was also shocked, he looked at Xie Chen's difficult expression, and looked at him so desperately, and felt deeply guilty.

"If it weren't for the pressure I put on him, wouldn't he have fought so hard?" Scarlett blamed herself for teasing Xie Chen for the first time, and if Xie Chen was injured in order to win, Scarlett would definitely not forgive herself.

Scarlett asked a friend, "Is there a phone number from Dwyanwade?" I'd like to know about Xie's phone number from him, and maybe I should send him a message to apologize. ”

Plump friend: "I know Union's contact information, I think she will directly tell me the phone number you need, this yellow boy, in order not to let those who follow him because of you see jokes, it is also very hard." Hopefully, his hard work will lead to a victory, and after the game, I think your fans all over the world will have a new opinion of him, and maybe, they will call him, hero. ”
