The 2+1 of Rose beating Sean Williams before once cooled the atmosphere of the scene, but after Xie Chen beat Gasol a 2+1, the atmosphere of the scene was ignited again! The fans were in high spirits, applauding, and everyone had smiles on their faces, and Xie Chen loved to see the smiles of the home fans, which was the warmest smile in the world for the Heat players.

Pau Gasol, who had curly hair, glanced at the basketball that entered the net in a daze, without saying a word, and at the same time without any expression fluctuations, he slowly took a step forward and stopped, which was the position where the defender stood at the time of the free throw, and after standing in the position, he half-squatted down and held his knees with his hands, and his eyes seemed to have no Xie Chen from beginning to end.

At this moment, many netizens at home and abroad criticized Gasol's defense for being too soft, and they didn't want to defend Xie Chen at all, in fact, criticizing Gasol's "soft ball style" has been a long time coming, especially when Gasol was in the Lakers, he attracted much attention because he partnered with Kobe, and was criticized for the most miserable year when he lost to the Celtics in the finals, but fortunately he proved himself later, took revenge with Kobe Bryant, and took the championship back.

Gasol is not soft, just not hard, and now, as he gets older and has two championship trophies in hand, there is nothing to fight for in the NBA league, and he is no different from those who work from 9 to 5 on time.

Xie Chen stood at the free throw line, and after receiving the ball from the referee, Xie Chen took a deep breath and paused, at this time he heard one or two MVPs from the audience, but the sound quickly disappeared, and it did not cause a wider spread, and no other fans responded.

"One day, when I make free throws, the fans will shout MVP!" Xie Chen secretly swore and threw the ball steadily.

Yang Jian explained: "Xie Chen returned Rose a 2+1, the two are needle-to-point, one is the MVP of the regular season in the past, and the other is likely to win the MVP of this year's regular season, they are both absolute top masters, see if Rose can score this goal." ”

"I don't think it's easy to score, because this is not a preseason game, it's not a charity exhibition game, and the whole Heat team can't watch Rose play another one, even if he can get by Xie Chen, it's hard to get an easy layup." Su Qun expressed his opinion.

In fact, as Su Qun said, this is a regular season game, not an exhibition game, no one will complete Ross and Xie Chen's layup performances again and again, but Ross knows that there are tigers in the mountains and bias towards Tiger Mountain, in the same position, Ross is ready to attack Xie Chen again!

"Oh, it's really worth buying a ticket for this game, buddy, look at the position where D-ROSE stands, it is the right corner where Xie launched the attack just now, will he also complete a layup with his back to the basket like Xie?"

"I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA AT ALL, MAN, BUT SHE'S ALREADY FOCUSED ON HIS BREAKAWAY, SO D-ROSE MIGHT BE A BETTER CHOICE."

But Rose is Rose, he won't listen to anyone's opinion on the court, he has only one goal, to make a layup, and to make a layup with his back to the basket, he wants to prove in the American Airlines Arena that he can easily complete all the actions that Xie Chen can do, and he can complete it better than Xie Chen!

Rose did not use a change of direction, but turned around Xie Chen with a tough back, strictly speaking, it was only after knocking Xie Chen away that he got rid of Xie Chen's defense, Xie Chen was knocked down by Rose, but unfortunately, the referee didn't blow it!

Could it be that the referee also wants to complete the personal duel between Ross and Xie Chen?

Ross is overjoyed, this action was not blown into anyone, God help me! Without saying a word, he went straight to the basket, and under the basket stood Hassan, Rose was not afraid at all, and jumped up in the face of the big man of two meters and one three.

Everyone held their breath, they knew that Rose was terrible, and if this ball was scored again, it would inevitably put more pressure on Xie Chen!

"Smack!"

I only heard a crisp sound, and the basketball in Rose's hand was actually knocked out!

Hassan pounced, the two bodies were entangled in the air, Hassan didn't give Rose a chance to make a layup at all, and knocked Rose's ball off the first time, of course, he was also whistled for a foul.

Hassan raised his arms and said to Rose with a smile: "I'm not Shaun, I won't let you be so presumptuous in the penalty area." ”

"Damn nameless boy......" Rose glared at Hassan, rubbed the batted shoulder and walked to the free throw line.

The fans at the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief, the offensive performance of the two finally stopped, fortunately, the team's newly signed center Hassan was bloody enough, and he pulled Ross down at once, otherwise, this ball let others defend, maybe it will have to be beaten 2+1, when the time comes, Xie Chen will have to launch a personal attack again to declare war on Rose, but Rose's layup was unsuccessful, and the personal performance duel between the two can be temporarily over, but everyone knows that in the next few quarters of the game, the duel between the two will continue.

The protagonists on the court began to shift to other role players, with the Bulls' Dunleavy and Butler, and the Heat's Rohr Deng and Hassan scoring one after another and becoming the protagonists on the court.

Xie Chen held the ball on the outside, and the Bulls' defensive formation was finally put out, at this time, it was not easy for Xie Chen to break through and enter the penalty area again, and the name of Thibodeau's defensive master was not in vain.

There is a defensive player in front of Xie Chen, there is an inside player who is pinching the bottom, and the other inside line wanders between the paint area, resulting in more defense and less defense on the weak side.

At this time, Wade had already seized Thibodeau's defensive hole, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of Noah, who was walking in the middle line, to cut into the basket, but Xie Chen did not pass the ball over at the first time.

Thibodeau, who was off the court, looked at this with his chin in his cold eyes: "Xie is still a first-year freshman after all, and now he obviously doesn't have the ability to break through the defense, if he is replaced by Chris Paul and Steve Nash, they will not miss this opportunity, Chris Shei, Russell, Stephen Curry, and even Derrick Rose of our team, they are all offensive point guards with super scoring ability, but at the same time, they also lose other things." ”

The Heat began to start a tug-of-war with the Bulls, and the score continued to rise alternately, and in the third quarter, the Bulls suddenly counterattacked, playing a wave of 8:0 small high 1 tide, although Spo called a timeout in time, but it only ensured that the score would not be extended again, and the Heat did not catch up with the score in the entire third quarter.

Soon came the most critical fourth quarter, the Heat was still 10 points behind, but most Heat fans were quite optimistic, after all, after winning for so long, they had long forgotten what it was like to fail, and 10 points was not a point difference that could not be caught up, even if they were 15 points behind, everyone would believe that Xie Chen would chase the score back.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the dual point guards of Chalmers and Kerr played a role on the court, the two kept attacking the Bulls' interior, Chalmers made two fouls in a row, and Kerr also completed a difficult pull-up layup, but the two can be wonders, but they can't be heroes who can save the team, as the Bulls' defense gets better and better, their scoring has also been suppressed, but by the time Xie Chen came on the court, the score was only 8 points behind, which was already very commendable.

When Xie Chen re-entered the game and replaced Chalmers and walked to the bright floor, the fans gave enthusiastic cheers, Xie Chen also smiled and signaled, looking relaxed, he is no longer a rookie who has just entered the NBA, nor has he not experienced a critical moment, just eight points, that is, three three-pointers, Xie Chen is very confident, but he doesn't know that the most difficult moment of this game for him is coming.

In front of the Bulls players, Thibodeau, who was in a suit and leather shoes, put his hands on his chest, looked at Xie Chen with a relaxed face, and smiled lightly: "Finally, finally in the fourth quarter, I can finally fulfill my promise to myself!" The last time you left the Chicago gym, I swore that the next time I met you, I wouldn't make you feel better! This moment is finally coming! Hehe, if it was your Heat leading now, I would have some scruples about doing this, but alas, you lost to us in the third quarter! More than 20 consecutive wins are sure to make any team complacent, and this one, you and your team will pay the price! ”

Thibodeau's eyes are sharp, licking his lips from time to time, that fierce gaze, as if licking the blood on the knife, everyone wants to end the Heat's winning streak, and Thibodeau is no exception!

Xie Chen dribbled past half court, and he wanted to find an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer first, but found that it was Jimmy Butler, who defended him, who was two meters and one.

Xie Chen glanced at Ross and thought in his heart, "Is it to save Rose's body?" ”

Previously, Xie Chen had always been defended by Rose, and the two top No. 1 positions staged many individual duels, which almost made Rose a little unbearable, because the last time the two were one-on-one in Chicago, Xie Chen's strength was far from being so strong, and even, Xie Chen and Wade had to be combined to fight with Rose, but now, Xie Chen is alone, and Ross is a little unguardable.

Height does not have an advantage, it does not mean that there is no way to shoot three-pointers, Xie Chen can use his speed to get rid of Butler's defense, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to shoot three-pointers, James Harden, Stephen Curry often do this.

Xie Chen turned on Lowry's breakthrough skills, the center of gravity dropped very low, obviously to break through Butler, but Butler's defense still gave people the feeling of anti-shooting posture, Xie Chen changed to the left to break through, Butler just moved sideways, and did not retreat, Xie Chen originally wanted to quickly pull back after the fake breakthrough, so that Butler's center of gravity moved back, and completed the shooting at this time, but unfortunately, the plan failed!

"Let me break through?"

Xie Chen saw that Butler was tightly guarded against his three-point shots, and immediately improvised to the situation, no longer shooting three-pointers as originally planned, and decisively broke through Butler.

As soon as he took a step, Bulls forward Taki Gibson immediately stepped forward to block Xie Chen's way, and at the same time, Butler quickly followed, and the two immediately wrapped Xie Chen!
