Chapter 543: Return to Glory!

The series between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks is finally over!

The New York Knicks, who are eighth in the East, defeated the Miami Heat, who are fifth in the East, with a total score of 4-2, and won two consecutive series by a weak to a strong one. Who would have thought that the Knicks would win four games in a row?

The weakest playoff team in the East should not have this kind of momentum and strength, and consecutive victories over the Raptors, who are first in the East, and the Heat, who are fifth in the East, have proven that the New York Knicks are definitely not a playoff weak team!

"Eastern Conference Finals! Here we go! ”

Madison Square Garden in New York, the audience stood and cheered, and the crowd outside the arena was the same, finally advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals again, they have waited too long for this day, since Anthony joined Chauncey Billups to join the New York Knicks, they have been looking forward to this day, they thought Anthony would make the future of this team bright, but the truth is heart-wrenching, last season, the New York Knicks were even the bottom team in the East! Who would have thought that in the second season, the New York Knicks would actually break into the Eastern Conference Finals!

This kind of accident makes it difficult to hide the excitement in my heart, Xie Chen has brought earth-shaking changes to this team!

When the buzzer sounded, the whole court was excited, Wade scored a game-high 45 points, and his consecutive crazy scores in the final moments were impressive, I believe everyone saw that Wade can still help the team, and he is still the indispensable soul of the Heat.

Wade breathed a sigh of relief, his face was a little unwilling, although he had expected such a result for a long time, but when it really happened, it was still not easy to accept, after all, Wade had reached the finals for many years. He is going to be absent this year, and he is worried that in the future, will he never have a chance to break into the finals stage again?

Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, no one knew how much pressure Xie Chen was under and how much difficulty he faced in this series. On the surface, Xie Chen is only dealing with a group of veterans who are all too familiar, but in fact, Xie Chen has to deal with the Heat in front of him and the legendary Heat team in the strongest period in the past at the same time.

When it comes to the legendary teams in the East, in addition to the legendary Bulls, the legendary Heat team is the strongest, and the Bulls are currently 2:3 behind the Cavaliers, and it seems that it is difficult to escape from the Cavaliers' iron horses, that is. In this year's playoffs, Xie Chen has successfully broken through the difficulties of the strongest legendary team.

"Who will happen next? I'd rather meet the Cavaliers, meet LeBron James. Xie Chen said secretly.

At this time, Anthony stepped forward, shook hands and high-fived Xie Chen excitedly, and then hugged each other: "Brother, we did it." It's been a long time since I've felt so excited! ”

Xie Chen can understand Anthony's mood, not only Anthony. Xie Chen saw Derrick Williams, Porzingis, and these guys also jumped up excitedly, and the bench was even more jubilant.

For Anthony, he has been in the East for so long, and he has not tried the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, once in the West, Anthony has touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals. Then in the Western Conference finals against Kobe Bryant, who was still at his peak, Anthony played quite bloody and physically fierce, which was Anthony's most missed playoff experience, and it was also the closest he came to a championship. He thought that after touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals, he would soon be able to make the Finals.

It's a pity that after coming to the East, he either lost to the Celtics or his good brothers in the same class, or he couldn't even enter the playoffs, he has gradually become depressed over the years, and he no longer has the momentum in the Nuggets period, but Xie Chen's arrival has stimulated his youthful feeling again!

Xie Chen patted Anthony and said with a smile: "Get ready for a big battle with your brother!" ”

Anthony nodded, the next opponent, not much suspense, is LeBron James!

LeBron James is also looking at the jubilant situation on the court at the moment, everything is expected by him, sure enough, the Knicks are promoted, and James is fully ready to face the Knicks.

After the game, when Wade of the Heat was interviewed by media reporters, reporters asked him how he evaluated this series and the Knicks as an opponent, Wade said: "We lost to the Magic. Xie finished us with his magic game after game, we never really limited him in any game, and of course, the rest of the Knicks were good, but Xie was the key to getting us out. ”

The reporter then asked: "Next the New York Knicks will face the winner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls, and now the Cavaliers have the lead, and the chances of winning are even greater, you and Xie and LeBron are good friends and former teammates, which of the two do you think can win?" ”

Wade has long guessed that he will face such a problem, the showdown between James and Xie Chen has always been what all fans are looking forward to, and it is also a hot topic in the media, especially last year Wade and Xie Chen united to defeat James, and James is bound to take revenge this year.

Unable to face James again with Xie Chen made Wade feel very ashamed, for this question, Wade smiled and said: "I have been in the finals for many years in a row, and this year is the first time I have been absent, I am already very unhappy, so I am not in the mood to think about them, I can only say that LeBron and Xie are the most talented teammates I have ever worked with, and they are the two people who can play the best on the planet." ”

This answer obviously did not satisfy the reporter, so the reporter asked another tricky question: "Your contract is about to expire, will you choose to stay with the Heat?" Have you talked to Pat Riley about renewing your contract? Did the conditions he gave satisfy you? Will you switch to the Knicks and partner with Xie again? ”

Wade smiled at the reporters' pursuits, but did not answer the question.

Xie Chen defeated the old master when his teammates were not well configured, at this time, many netizens stood up and posted sarcastically about Riley's decision last season, no matter what, Xie Chen should not be let go, otherwise, there is no doubt that they will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals now, and now after separating from each other, both Xie Chen and the Heat have lost a lot of strength, the current Heat has no superstar, and Xie Chen does not have a good team. If the two are still combined, they may be able to compete with strong teams like the Golden State Warriors and Spurs, but right now, people are still not optimistic that the Knicks will win the championship or even advance to the Finals.

In this sixth game, Pat Riley also came to New York with the team. It can be said that Riley watched all these six games on the spot, Xie Chen's performance every minute of Riley was clear, and after tasting the result of defeat, Riley also became melancholy.

At the beginning, Xie Chen's injury and physical condition made Riley very uneasy, and there were too many conflicts between the two, Riley had to give up Xie Chen and send him to the Knicks, he expected that Xie Chen might be excellent this season. But I definitely didn't expect Xie Chen to bring a team like the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals!

Xie Chen completely exceeded the imagination of the god operator Pat Riley!

"In just one season, his body has not been affected by anything, why is the improvement so exaggerated? Of course, Stephen Curry has also made great progress, but the progress of the two is different, Curry has upgraded his existing abilities, while Xie has completely developed new abilities! Step-back jumper, Xie didn't know that last season. Could it be Phil Jackson's masterpiece? "Pat Riley knew he wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight.

The series is over, for the Heat. It was the end of the season, they could pack their bags and go home, which was also a rare opportunity for Xie Chen to relax, so that night, Xie Chen went to drink with them in the most famous nightclub in New York. Think of it as a farewell.

Hassan Whiteside was still worried about the renewal of the contract, so he drank a lot as soon as he came up, and he was already a little drunk in less than an hour, and said to Xie Chen: "You must win the Knights, we fought side by side to defeat them last year." LeBron, that guy must put all the hatred on you alone, you can't let him succeed, even we and you have defeated, what is a knight! Right, Boss? ”

Wade smiled and said: "You really drank too much, Hassan, the Cavaliers are by no means so easy to deal with, the Cavaliers we met last year, without Kevin Love, even Kyrie Irving was injured at the end and sidelined, we took a big advantage, this year they have a full lineup, and LeBron will never let go of this opportunity for revenge, Xie, you have to be careful." ”

Xie Chen only cared about drinking and relaxing, just smiled and accepted their reminders, and didn't care at all, maybe many people still think that Xie Chen is afraid of James, and the Knicks are not as good as the Cavaliers, but Xie Chen will prove who is the strongest player with facts!

It is true that the knight is stronger than the knight Xie Chen met last year, and the lineup is more neat, but Xie Chen is not the same Xie Chen last year! He's also stronger!

After drinking with his good brothers, Xie Chen, who was full of alcohol, did not plan to go home to disturb his pregnant wife, but opened a room in the hotel where Wade and they were staying.

Because after Xie Chen entered the room, the drunken Hassan ran over to chat a few words, and when he left, he didn't close the door properly, Xie Chen was in a hurry to take a shower, and he didn't find out.

After Pat Riley learned that Xie Chen was also in this hotel, he thought about coming up to talk to Xie Chen, and when he saw that the door was not closed, his instinctive reaction was to push the door in, but a past experience made him give up doing so.

Many years ago, Riley went to find Michael Jordan like this, and he pushed the door in directly, but Jordan was not wearing clothes, and scolded Riley on the spot: "Get out of this room for me!" ”

Riley reluctantly walked away, and the next morning, he slipped a note through the crack in the door.

Riley hesitated in front of the door, thinking that it would be better to throw the note again, so he found a pen and paper and wrote, "You are still so good, I hope we can fight for the championship together in the future, even ten years from now."

Just stuffed in, Xie Chen happened to come out wrapped in a bath towel, and suddenly found that the door was not closed, and a white note continued to come in from the outside, Xie Chen immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”

When I got closer, I opened the door and found that it was Pat Riley!

"How are you?" Xie Chen was a little surprised, looking at Pat Riley stuffing notes like a thief, not at all like the style of the president.

Xie Chen glanced at the contents of the note and said with a smile: "Why don't you come in?" The door hasn't been closed. ”

Pat Riley walked into the room and said, "I'm afraid of being kicked out of the room by a superstar again, and I always choose a bad time to meet a star like you." ”

Xie Chen didn't understand what Riley said, but he was still very happy to see what Riley said on the note, he would say this, that is, he had already recognized Xie Chen, and Riley seemed to be interested in recruiting Xie Chen back to the Heat again.

Xie Chen smiled and asked Riley, "Do you finally regret your decision at that time?" ”

Pat Riley smiled: "Now that the result is like this, I say I don't regret it, I'm afraid you don't believe it either." ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Chen said, "Your caution is right, Mr. Riley." ”

"Oh? I do not quite understand. Riley didn't think Xie Chen was joking.

With a little wine, Xie Chen said: "You are really powerful, you deserve to be called a god operator, but even you can't calculate what kind of player I am, so you choose a more stable way to win the championship, in fact, even if you stay in the Heat, my road to winning the championship this year will be very difficult, far from being as easy as last year......"

The more Xie Chen said, the more confused Pat Riley became, Xie Chen's strength was obviously stronger than last year, but why did he say that winning the championship would not be as easy as last year?

"Is that the injury...... Not fully recovered? Pat Riley immediately thought of Xie Chen's injury, after all, Xie Chen fought with an injury in the playoffs last season, and he was so crazy that changing to any player would aggravate the impact of the injury on the body.

Xie Chen shook his head: "No, I'm healthy." ”

Xie Chen threw a cigarette at Pat Riley and asked, "How do you plan to keep Hassan and Wade this summer?" ”

Pat Riley lit a cigarette, perhaps not in a long time, and coughed: "They are all indispensable for the Heat to win the championship, Hassan Whiteside will do our best to stay, but his best intention now is not to be with the Heat, but to follow you, if he helps, there is no doubt that you have a better chance of winning the championship in the future." But I still hope you can keep Hassan with the Heat, and I'll do everything I can to make him the best center in the league. ”

Xie Chen didn't say anything on this question, but instead asked, "What about Wade?" Are you going to give him a long-term contract? ”

Pat Riley didn't reply, but snuffed out the cigarette, then got up and said, "My health is really getting worse, I don't know if I can make it until you retire." ”

Riley patted Xie Chen's shoulder and said, "I wish you to defeat the knight." (To be continued.) )
