Chapter 437: Stop Miller's Moment!
Upton persuaded himself to go on a date with a rookie rookie who was not well-known, but it took a long time, and he finally showed mercy to give the dicks a chance, but this unknown Latvian dick didn't know what to do, and took the initiative to reject her!
Kate Upton felt very hurt in her heart, Xie Chen broke his heart, and Porzingis also made her angry with her stomach, she only hated herself for being insatiable, how good it was to date Adu honestly, and he wouldn't always carry his little schoolbag, how could it be better than the cold and embarrassing situation now.
Porzingis was not excited until he returned to the locker room, 50 points, an achievement he never dared to imagine! He's just a rookie, how many can he score 50 points in his rookie season? It seems that even LeBron James, Michael Jordan didn't do it, right? As soon as he thought of this, Porzingis couldn't help but get excited, and kept telling everyone that he was going to have a treat in the evening, so he had a good time.
However, although Xie Chen is the person Porzingis should be most grateful for, Xie Chen did not go with them, but went home first, the media had already spread the matter between Xie Chen and Upton, and today Upton was so intimate with Xie Chen during the live broadcast, he was very worried that Katie would be jealous.
When she got home, Katie sat on the sofa watching TV without saying a word, Xie Chen didn't respond when she called her, needless to say that she must be angry, this is not good, Katie is now pregnant and can't move, Xie Chen hurriedly sat down, hugged Katie and explained: "Honey, are you jealous?" I don't have anything to do with that woman. ”
Sitting closer, I found that Katie looked very calm, turned her head to look at Xie Chen and asked, "Porzingis scored 50 points, shouldn't you celebrate with him?" ”
Xie Chen immediately said sweetly: "How can this be more important than you?" ”
Katie smiled happily: "I'm not jealous or angry, because I believe that the man who has experienced Scarlett and me will not fall in love with a woman casually, unless Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are alive." ”
It sounds like Katie is very dismissive of Upton. In terms of body appearance, it is true, mainly in temperament, Upton is much worse than Scarlett and Katie.
……
After the Thunder, the Knicks will face the next opponent against the Indiana Pacers, a team that is also not easy to play against and is playing on the road. The legendary Pacers will no longer be as easy as the legendary Hornets, so this game is a very big test for Xie Chen, but many netizens don't believe that the Knicks, who won the Thunder Clippers, will have a chance to lose to the Pacers.
The Pacers are now in the top four in the East, with a much better record than the Knicks, last season, the Pacers still struggled to climb into the playoffs, and then were swept by Xie Chen's Heat 4:0, and people are still not so optimistic about the Pacers this season. But I didn't expect the Pacers to play really well, and the most important thing is that Paul George, the king is back!
"Long time no see, George." At the Bankers Life Arena, the Pacers' home stadium, Xie Chen and Paul George greeted each other.
"It's been a long time, but I feel like I was swept out of the game by you yesterday." Paul George said with a serious face, it seems that he has not forgotten that Xie Chen swept them in the playoffs last season. And that rout also greatly inspired George. So that he can have a better performance this season.
This season's Paul George, with an average of 28+8+6 data per game, and many 40+ performances in a single game, even set a new single-game scoring record in his career against the Jazz!
This is something that too many people have not expected, and Paul George's tenacity and patience are impressive.
It's still painful to think back to George's injury, but the good thing is that his injury is nowhere near as damaging as Rose's torn cruciate ligament and Kobe's ruptured Achilles tendon. Because a tibia and fibular fracture does not leave sequelae, once healed, the likelihood of recurrence is almost zero, and the site may be stronger than before.
It seems that George's injury is patiently recovered. But just like the Heat who lost to Xie Chen last season, is his shadow still there? Has he fully recovered mentally? This is also an important factor that can affect George's future prospects.
Xie Chen saw Paul George's serious face and said with a smile: "It's going to be an All-Star Game soon, be happy, don't hold too much grudges, be careful that I don't pass you the ball in the All-Star Game." ”
"Ugh." George also felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, what do you think about the performance of Curry and the Warriors this season?" I know you want to compete for the MVP this season just like me, but Shake your head that Curry is too fierce this season, and their Warriors are too fierce, and it's all your fault for that, last season they defeated the Warriors who finally reached the Finals, and they beat Curry in so many ways, and they are completely revenge this season! ”
Xie Chen was also a little melancholy: "Curry's performance is indeed great, coupled with their team's record, there is no doubt that the MVP will vote for him, but I know that I am also on this list, and some of my achievements and dedications are something that everyone can't see." ”
Xie Chen left as he spoke, leaving George confused, what achievements did Xie Chen have that everyone couldn't see?
Of course, Xie Chen's performance in the Legend Challenge is much crazier than his performance in the 2015 NBA, if you count all these games, Curry's personal performance cannot be compared with Xie Chen, and if there is no obstacle from those legendary teams, the Knicks' record will be excellent.
The Pacers' performance at the beginning of the season was very different from the performance that followed, at the beginning of the Pacers won three consecutive losses, and Paul George did not show signs of returning to the king, everyone felt that the Pacers should be like this, because the Pacers also changed their style of play.
No way, the impact of the Warriors, who had the best record in the league last season, was too great, the small-ball style of play, and the more likely more offensive rounds, Larry Bird saw a bright future with the small-ball style of play, and then at the end of last season he announced that the team's policy would change.
He hopes the Pacers can play an enthusiastic offense based on an iron-blooded defense. Their iron-clad defense has earned them a place in the East for three years in a row, and their tactical philosophy at the time was a rough half-court defense, a disciplined offensive rhythm and an inside-to-back offense, and then they got the following stats.
Offense, 12-13 season, 94.7 per game. 23rd in the league, 13-14, 24th, 14-15, 27th.
Defense, 12-13 season. Conceded 90.7 points per game, the second-fewest in the league, the second-fewest in the league in the '13-14 season, the second-fewest in the league, and the fourth-fewest in the league in the '14-15 season.
So, you should understand why Larry Bird is determined to change the team's offense, the Pacers' defense is fine, but their offense becomes a stumbling block to success. If you keep the defensive intensity, speed up the offense, play more offensive and defensive transitions, and strive for more outside opportunities, will you achieve unexpected results?
And then, they really got good results.
Although the Pacers are not the biggest opponent of the Knicks, they are also a stumbling block that currently prevents the Knicks from entering the playoffs. You'll meet the Pacers for two seasons in a row.
As soon as the game started, Paul George scored one after another. It's all the use of pick-and-roll, George has always had a pretty good sense of smell and pick-and-roll ability, this season since the Pacers switched to playing small-ball, George has played like a fish in water, and is currently the most used block-and-roll in the league among forwards, a veritable block-and-roll maniac.
Just. Paul George called for a pick-and-roll on the wing, and then shot directly after breaking through to the three-point line with the help of the pick-and-roll, I have to say that Paul George's training is still very hard, otherwise the shot would not be so accurate.
George scored with the help of a pick-and-roll. Xie Chen also scored with the help of blocking, and Xie Chen shot three points. Even if he shoots a three-pointer, the shooting percentage is not inferior to George's two-point shot.
George knows that he has encountered a very strong opponent, and he can't deal with it on his own, and Xie Chen still has Anthony by his side, as well as a rookie who just scored 50 points in the last game, and must rely on the strength of the team and defense to have a chance.
The Pacers' defense is really good, and Porzingis, who scored a career-high in the last game, has dropped his shooting touch in this game, sometimes not even getting a chance to shoot, and has two turnovers under pressure.
Porzingis also immediately sobered up from his previous pride: "It turns out that I am not very good, if I want to win, if I want to enter the playoffs, it still depends on the two of them." ”
Of course, the Pacers can't limit Xie Chen, but the other leader of the team, Carmelo Anthony, seems to be stronger than Xie Chen's offensive desire.
Watching Paul George play better and better, and keep scoring, Anthony's face was very ugly, and he wanted to ask him now, how many small forwards in the league can he rank? Are James, Durant, or even Paul George in front of him better than themselves? He's the league's leading scorer!
Paul George already disdains Carmelo Anthony, he thinks that the biggest threat is only Xie Chen, and as for the scoring champion, George also thinks that it does not reflect Anthony's true strength.
Anthony's shooting repeatedly hit the iron, which made his mood even more impatient, and he finally made a foul to get two free throws, and Xie Chen sighed when he saw it.
"Anthony is in the downward phase, and Paul George is in the ascending period, and it doesn't make much sense for Anthony to be obsessed with that. But it's a good thing to see him so motivated. ”
Xie Chen began to intend to complete the duel between Paul George and Anthony, but Paul George played too well this time, he can not only score goals when he has the ball, but also can score easily when he is not on the ball.
A Pacers offense, Paul George sneaked into the back door without the ball on the left wing and went straight to the basket with the help of cover, Williams who defended George was blocked by the covering player, did not follow up at the first time, the ball quickly passed to the basket, and George hit it with a small hook easily.
In contrast, Anthony now steals fewer goals by covering the back of the net.
The Pacers then upgraded their cover tactics and played double cover.
Paul George was in the bottom corner on the right side, suddenly ran to the left, Williams followed forward, banged into the first screener, and then, George was still running to the free throw line, Williams followed forward, and then banged again, crashed into the second screener, George easily took the ball and hit the mid-range shot.
And Anthony's individual singles, or the simple cooperation of Xie Chen and Anthony, obviously can't make Anthony's shooting rate comparable to Paul George. Again, on the score, the Pacers have been leading.
Xie Chen wanted to take over the game right away, but his assists quickly went into double figures, and he had to deal with another opponent, the legendary Pacers, first.
Regarding the legendary Pacers team that he is about to meet this time, Xie Chen made a bold prediction yesterday, he hopes to meet a team with Reggie Miller, when T.NT hosted the show with Reggie Miller, Xie Chen felt the unyielding strength of Reggie Miller, and he really wanted to compete with this three-point master.
Even, Xie Chen predicted which year it would be Reggie Miller.
May 7, 1995, because this day is the day when the "Miller moment" happened that fans all over the world know.
After the scene changed, Xie Chen really saw the familiar slender figure, Reggie Miller......
Xie Chen went to the sidelines to ask the time, sure enough, it was May 7th, this is the time of the playoffs, that year, in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers and the Knicks were fighting hard, when the Pacers were 6 points behind the Knicks, and there were only 18.7 seconds left in the game.
He first shot a three-pointer, and then cut the ball from the Knicks in the front court, and scored on a long shot, at which time the Pacers surprised to rewrite the score to a 105-105 tie, and then the Pacers fouled, the Knicks missed two free throws, Miller got the rebound and forced the Knicks to foul, he hit both free throws, and then the Knicks Ewing missed the shot, and the Pacers narrowly won the opponent by two points.
This is one of the most classic Miller moments.
But it's not just this one that has been called Miller's moment. The earliest Miller moment was in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and New York in 1994, when the Pacers trailed by 12 points into the fourth quarter, and New York loyal fan Spike Lee trash talked to Miller, resulting in Miller scoring 25 points in a single quarter, including five three-pointers, and when he finished shooting the last three-pointer, Miller made the famous choke lock from Spike Lee.
In addition, in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, Miller pushed Jordan away at the last moment, and then hit a three-pointer with only 0.7 seconds left to lead the team to victory.
Miller's ability to turn defeat into victory at the most critical moment of the game has made many people admire, and Xie Chen is going to learn the style of this senior today.
However, Xie Chen didn't want history to repeat itself.
"On this day, it was also the Pacers vs. the Knicks, but you can beat the 1995 Knicks, but you can't beat the 2015 Knicks, wait and see, Reggie Miller, I will stop the Miller moment from happening!" (To be continued......)
