ps: Preview, next month erupts, May 1st officially started everyone's long-awaited all-star journey, Cold Moon this time for everyone carefully prepared May Day holiday feast, I hope you must not miss it!

Keep playing! You have to hit Popovich and call a timeout!

Xie Chen's eyes were like torches, and he singled Danny Green with his back, and during the time when Xie Chen leaned towards Green's body, no one from the Spurs stepped forward to attack, and the other members of the Heat withdrew far away, giving Xie Chen enough space for him to play alone, which is clearly putting Xie Chen and Green one-on-one.

Green is six feet six inches, one meter ninety-eight, has a slight advantage in height, but the weight is not much different from Xie Chen, as a model of a 3D player, in addition to being accurate in three points, the defense is also good, before Green defended Paul, and the defense of Curry was good.

The Spurs generally send Kawhii Leonard to defend strong and vigorous, such as Rohr Deng, and send Danny Green to defend a sensitive and fast player like Xie Chen, Green doesn't eat fake moves much, so Xie Chen's previous few false shakes have no effect, and Xie Chen is not as complicated as he is to play anymore.

Leaning on his body slowly, just when Green thought that Xie Chen was going to roll over and jump back, it suddenly turned into a breakthrough attack, but suddenly made a sudden stop, and then a backward jumper, turning Green's play, and the basketball fell into the basket with great precision.

4 points! The Heat are only 4 points behind! The game is back in suspense! And this is almost the credit of Xie Chen alone!

But Popovich still didn't call a timeout!

"Scoring 10 points without calling a timeout? You can do it, old man! Xie Chen was speechless, is this old guy Popovich completely ignoring his own meaning?

Popovich is still as calm as a mountain at this time, not only because it is a regular season game, but also because he wants to test more about how to deal with the Heat with Xie Chen as the core in this encounter, but more importantly. He had faith in his own disciples.

The Spurs' offense is fluid, with their chic passing, ball-handling and personal skills, which seem to be natural, but behind the scenes, a lot of effort has been put in, and the Spurs' scoring almost always comes from the usual boring drills, and they have paid for it. It deserves to be rewarded, and that's what Popovich is steadfast about.

Popovich's eyes were still firmly on the field, and he knew that these guys would not let him down.

Parker held the ball on the left wing, took advantage of Split's cover, ran wildly to the right, and then handed the ball to Leonard on the right wing, at which point, Duncan mentioned the high post to cover for Leonard, but Leonard did not attack. Instead, the ball was transferred to the bottom corner of Danny Green, and Danny Green did not rashly shoot under Xie Chen's defense, and broke through to the position where Leonard was originally standing on the outside with Duncan's cover, attracting two defenders. Hit the big and throw it easily.

The Spurs finally alleviated the scoring drought and pulled the deficit back to six points.

It was after a series of air cuts that caused Duncan to hit the big and small. The whole tactic looks pleasing to the eye, which is different from the beauty of the Clippers in the empty city, although the Spurs do not have air catches, no violent dunks, and the ball does not leave the ground, but for some old fans, the Spurs' ball is more comfortable to watch.

The Spurs' offense is like an onion. You peel back one layer, and another layer, layer upon layer, and the Spurs' offense is always a few steps, after taking the backcourt rebound. The first reaction must be to look for a fast attack opportunity, if there is no opportunity to go fast, it will accelerate to see if it can play a transition attack, and then look for an opportunity for the opponent to gain an unstable foothold, if there are no two points, it will fall into the position to attack.

And when it comes to positional warfare, the Spurs' routines are too many, and the Spurs' positional tactics pay attention to the word "move", less confrontation and more empty cuts, emphasizing opportunities, reducing strong attacks, and paying great attention to the fluency of the ball.

"They can always score in the easiest and safest way, no wonder I play with you and them, even if I don't use my skills to exhaust my body, I feel tired." Xie Chen couldn't help but pay tribute to the Spurs, for more than ten years of persistence, doing the most correct thing in the most correct way, the Spurs are an opponent worthy of respect.

Maybe the Spurs' scoring looks complicated, but it is easy to distribute it to individuals, maybe the Heat's offense looks simple now, but Xie Chen's every strong hit seems very difficult, but Xie Chen still has to do it and continue to score! Playing against a team alone is not a hero, it is Xie Chen who must make the opponent feel threatened in order to release his teammates.

It's still Xie Chen's one-on-one against Green, Green is 1.98 meters, using Lowry's breakthrough skills as a small man is simply very easy, an accelerated breakthrough into the basket, and immediately converted into a layup for Rose, but in the face of Duncan's big long arm interference, after the basketball hit the rebound and landed on the basket, he paused, and actually slipped out and didn't go in!

"Oh, thank God, this kid didn't make it once!"

"It's your chance to belong to the Spurs!"

Xie Chen didn't score a layup, Duncan grabbed the rebound for the first time, in fact, when Duncan got this rebound, the Spurs' offense had already begun, and the team's fast break was generally initiated by the point guard, but the backcourt rebounds were first collected by the inside, so it often needed to go through a step of passing the point guard inside, but in the Spurs, this step could be completely omitted, because Duncan raised his eyes and passed the ball directly to Parker's hand in the frontcourt.

When Parker received the ball and advanced, Green and Leonard also quickly followed, Green was the first person to have a chance to receive Parker's pass, and Leonard was as a receiver, grabbing rebounds when Green missed a layup, and finally, Green hit the inside line, attracted the defender, but passed the ball to Leonard covertly, and Leonard hit the board easily.

8 points, and the Heat are back to 8 points.

"Hahaha, it's impossible for one person to beat the entire Spurs team, Popovich is going to teach Chris Shea how to play basketball tonight."

"That's right, from the beginning Popovich didn't care about Xie, but instead pinched Bosh to the point and didn't let him receive the ball lightly, it seems that Popovich has long concluded that Xie alone can't win the ball."

Xie Chen sighed a little melancholy, just now he was still high-spirited and wanted to beat the Spurs to a timeout, but in such a short time, Xie Chen only missed once, and quickly let the Spurs get a chance, and the score opened again.

Xie Chen thought that he could catch up with the score in one go, and then overtake ...... I have to admit that Xie Chen is in a very depressed mood now.

"I just want to see your frustrated look now, cute rookie boy." When he saw Xie Chen's depressed expression, Popovich was happy, he didn't call a timeout, and let Xie Chen go, just to see Xie Chen's frustrated appearance.

"When the score was only 4 points behind, you must have felt that you could take the team to the other side of the victory, and from being complacent to not seeing hope, this sense of disparity has a great impact on people, and besides, you are still a rookie, even if you are mature, you can't ...... Well? Popovich was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw Xie Chen's expression change, and he actually ...... I actually laughed!

Xie Chen patted his chest vigorously, and said secretly: "The characteristics of the Spurs are stable, and my characteristics are also stable, I score by skill, not by feel, I do not lose to the Spurs in terms of stability, and I don't consume my body, no matter how long I play, I won't feel tired, it's only the third quarter, and we still have a chance." ”

Thinking of this, Xie Chen turned from sadness to joy, which made Popovich puzzled for a while: "Why did he suddenly suddenly become enlightened?" It's impossible, no matter how good a player is, it's impossible for a player to adjust well in such a short period of time, and he shouldn't be so much better than Westbrook. ”

In Popovich's opinion, if he wants to change to Westbrook, it is estimated that a few basins of ice water will also make the other party unable to calm down.

"Yes, he is indeed a very mature player, and Coach Riley is still so discerning that he can pick such a player in that pick. However, Chris Xie, even if you are not emotionally controlled, with your own ability, it is impossible to beat my Spurs, in the last quarter, your body will fall, your shooting will be inaccurate, your speed and your bounce will all change, and my Spurs will still be the same. ”

At the end of the third quarter, Xie Chen chased the score again to only 4 points, and in the fourth quarter, the terrible Spurs scored one after another at the beginning of the game, and pulled back 8 points again, fortunately, Birdman Anderson was powerful, frequently grabbed the rebounds in the front court, and stabilized the shape, and when Xie Chen played, the Heat only trailed by 6 points.

"There's no time to spend any more time with the Spurs."

As soon as Xie Chen came on the field, he was immediately ready to fire at all! Kill! Slash the spurs off the horse!

After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced to the halfcourt, faced Ginobili, a false feint to break through, and then quickly pulled up the shot basket, and hit!

Pointers! Only three points away!

The Spurs attacked, the ball passed to Ginobili's hands, Ginobili paused in his hand, just dribbled for the first time, the ball just fell to the floor, Xie Chen quickly launched Paul's steal skills, instantly cut off the ball, and went straight to the frontcourt!

Facing the empty frontcourt, Xie Chen did not choose to go to the basket, but shot when he reached the three-point line!

Three-point shot again! Tie!

"Oh, I'll go, this kid is so confident, no one under the basket actually chooses to shoot three points!"

"He carried the whole team on his shoulders by himself, I can't believe that if he could lead the team to beat the Spurs, if I was eligible to vote, I would vote for him as MVP!"

It's a draw! Xie Chen roared excitedly! It can be regarded as venting the anger that has been held for a whole game, since falling behind in the first quarter, the Heat have been chasing and playing, and this time they finally returned to the same running line, and next, Xie Chen is to continue to score and lead the team to victory!

Then, Xie Chen turned to look at Popovich.

"Look, look, Xie is staring at Popovich!"

"Xie doesn't seem to regard the five people on the court as opponents, and Popovich seems to be Xie's enemy."

Popovich smiled and finally called a timeout. (To be continued......)
