No one expected that the Eastern Conference Finals would be so passionate and exciting, and in the playoffs, especially in the Eastern Conference Finals, generally speaking, it is difficult to see so many violent dunks and such a smooth offense, because the defensive intensity of the playoffs is not comparable to the regular season, and it can still wreak havoc on the basket again and again under high-intensity defense, it can only be said that the aces of both sides are too strong.

"LeBron James and Chris Shet, these two guys are too strong, when they play a fast break, you foul them, not only still can't stop them from scoring, but you also give them a 2+1 chance for nothing, so you can only watch them jump up and dunk."

However, running from the back to the front court countless times is also a great test for their physical exertion.

Knicks coach Fisher was a little worried at this time, Xie Chen's physical state always had problems from time to time, the first two quarters of this game were so fierce, running back and forth in the court non-stop, quickly advancing the fast break when attacking, and being the first to rush over to block when defending, Fisher was worried about whether Xie Chen could survive to the end.

Tyronn Lue is also aware of this problem, he knows James very well, if James continues to play like this, in the fourth quarter, even if it is James, his physical fitness and his shooting rate will drop a lot, Xie Chen may be the same, when the time comes, it will depend on the rest of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers have a better team, Tyronn Lue believes that if they continue to consume each other in this way, they will still benefit.

In the half game, Xie Chen has already scored 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, and James's statistics are almost exactly the same as Xie Chen, 19 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, but in terms of score, the Knicks are still ahead by 9 points.

This half of the game made countless fans crazy. James and Xie Chen's ace duel has finally begun, and this is the best-looking superstar duel they have ever seen! Both of them have the potential to score a triple-double of 50 points!

"A showdown between two of the most versatile superstars on Earth! This game will go down in history! ”

"We didn't see Jordan vs. Kobe in the playoffs, we didn't see Kobe vs. James, but thankfully, we saw No. 23 vs. No. 0!"

The greatness of James and Xie Chen makes this Eastern Conference Finals extraordinary.

At halftime. The fans inside and outside the arena are still tirelessly talking about this game, their faces are full of excitement, although the team is now behind, but to see both sides play such a wonderful offense, this ticket price is too worthwhile, they are all discussing who will have physical problems first Xie Chen or James, and in the locker rooms of the two teams, there is also the same discussion.

The atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room was not good, and JR Smith had a very bad half of the game. He has always wanted to catch up with the score, but he still trailed by nearly 10 points at halftime, and the same is true of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, who did not reflect their value at all in this half, only LeBron James was still calmly eating bananas.

Tyronn Lue walked up to JR Smith, who took off his shirt and wore a tattoo, in fact, although Tyronn Lue is a coach, he is also a little afraid of JR Smith. JR Smith is not something that ordinary coaches can tame, just by his appearance. It's hard to get along with.

JR Smith has tattoos all over his body, from his neck to his shoulders to his stomach to his back, almost all over his upper body, including "The King of New Jersey", his daughter's name, Decepticons and Autobots from "Transformers". There is also a band he likes, and a Jordan No. 23 jersey is tattooed on his belly.

In the face of this crazy guy, Tyronn Lue also had to be careful to speak: "JR, I don't think you need to waste time and energy fighting Derrick Williams, you had some fouls on him in the first half. But it didn't work, it gave him a chance to score, I see you guys are talking trash, trust me, he will never score that many points again in the second half, you should focus on dealing with Xie. ”

In the first half, Derrick Williams' arrogance caused JR Smith's dissatisfaction, so JR Smith wanted to trouble Williams from time to time, but it didn't succeed, but gave Williams a 2+1 chance.

JR Smith replied: "Don't worry, coach, I won't let up on Xie's defense. Damn, he's got another 20 points in the half, and no matter who wins this series in the end, if he can still average more than 40 points per game under my defense, I can't choose to retire, I can only tattoo his name on me! ”

James Owen and others broke out in a cold sweat, and they want to have the rhythm of a new tattoo? JR Smith is the main player sent by the Cavaliers to target Xie Chen, if JR lets Xie Chen average 40+ per game, it will definitely be a blow to JR Smith, but from another point of view, if Xie Chen can really do it, it can be regarded as completely subduing JR Smith.

Therefore, JR Smith decided that if Xie Chen averaged 40+ per game, no matter whether the Knicks won or lost in the end, he would tattoo Xie Chen's name on his own body, just like tattooing Jordan's jersey, to express his admiration for them.

With an average of 40+ per game, this is not an easy task.

Xie Chen didn't know that there was someone in his opponent who wanted to tattoo his name on his body, and he was talking to his teammates about the second half.

Fisher was very concerned about Xie Chen's physical condition: "Xie, you ran too fiercely in the first half, which is a big drain on your physical energy, although we are leading now, but the game may still be stalemate until the last moment, do you need to rest for a while in the third quarter before playing?" ”

Xie Chen's physical consumption in this half is indeed more than in the previous games, but whether his physical condition is good at the end of the fourth quarter depends on the legendary team he will encounter later.

Therefore, Xie Chen politely rejected Fisher: "No need, coach, I'm fine, I still think it's better to suppress the opponent all the time." ”

Anthony also said: "I also think we should keep the score ahead and not let them catch up. Thanks, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you in the second half. ”

Xie Chen nodded, he didn't doubt Anthony's determination and strength.

The game continued, and in the face of the Cavaliers' second legion's counterattack, Porzingis stabilized the score with a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, and after that, Anthony also hit a three-pointer, and when Xie Chen came on the court. The score is still in the 10-point zone.

The third quarter played for a few minutes, compared with the first two quarters, it seemed relatively dull, the two sides played decently, not as passionate as before, and it was a violent dunk and an empty catch.

"In the second half. They shouldn't be playing so crazy anymore, after all, physical strength is a matter for everyone. ”

After realizing this problem, everyone was a little disappointed, the ball in the first half was really beautiful, when an offensive player ran wildly with the ball, the hearts of the fans on the scene also beat with that person, and the feeling of excitement was really evocative.

What they didn't know was that Xie Chen didn't plan to let the excitement end.

This time. Porzingis got the defensive rebound, and when he got the rebound, he was a little sluggish, maybe because he was a rookie, so he was cautious every time he handled the ball, and the advantage of caution was that there would be no mistakes, but the disadvantage was that his hesitation and slowness would make many offenses fail to achieve the desired effect.

Xie Chen didn't come up to ask for the ball. He's right behind Porzingis, and he needs basketball to play the fast break right now. But he didn't call Porzingis, because it was too much of a waste of time, Porzingis's speed of handling the ball was a little slow, in order to save time, Xie Chen took the ball directly from behind Porzingis. Straight to the front!

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

"What did I just see? Xie cut off Porzingis' ball? Why did he do it? So eager to get the ball? ”

Everyone knew that Xie Chen only needed to shout, and Porzingis would pass the ball to him, but Xie Chen chose to use this method, and it could be seen that Xie Chen was very confident in his break. At the same time, he is also very clear about Porzingis's ability to protect the ball, and Porzingis has not been tackled once or twice, so it is not considered to expose Porzingis' weaknesses.

Not willing to wait even a second or two, James already knew what Xie Chen was going to do!

I saw that Xie Chen was as fast as thunder, and the defenders of the Cavaliers were all startled, why did they still come?! In the first half, they kept returning to defense quickly, which had already tormented them miserably, and in the second half, I thought that Xie Chen would stop a little, after all, he himself was also physically troubled, but who knew that Xie Chen would still play like this!

Xie Chen's speed is extremely fast, if you don't run as hard as you can, you won't be able to catch him at all.

Kyrie Owen ran to the front to stop him as soon as possible, Owen was very smart, he saw Xie Chen sprinting so fiercely, and he did not hesitate to grab the ball from his teammates, just to rush to the basket for the first time, Owen didn't think that this could prevent Xie Chen from scoring, so he thought about fouling Xie Chen before he rushed to the basket.

"I hope I don't have to remind him of this." James also wanted Irving to foul early.

As soon as Xie Chen dribbled the ball in the middle of the court, Owen stretched out his two hands and "grabbed" it to Xie Chen's side.

Clear-eyed people can know what Owen wants to do at a glance, Owen doesn't want to block Xie Chen at all, he wants to foul in advance, and now the foul is not a free throw, that is to say, Xie Chen can't score directly through this foul, which is not what Xie Chen wants.

But how can you avoid avoiding Irving's foul? The speed of the two is about the same, and Xie Chen is dribbling the ball again, and it is unrealistic to want to get rid of Owen through speed at this time.

At this moment, Xie Chen had an idea, and thought of a strange move, which was also a dangerous move.

Just when Owen's two big hands were about to attack Xie Chen **** with bad intentions, Xie Chen's left hand suddenly slammed the ball to the ground, and the basketball quickly bounced forward!

The basketball was out of Xie Chen's control, and Xie Chen gave up the basketball!

"What?" Owen was shocked on the spot, and he didn't grab both hands, because the ball was no longer in Xie Chen's hands, but in front, why did he still catch Xie Chen foul? He should have run over to grab the ball!

And when Owen hesitated, Xie Chen had already turned around and shook off Owen and went straight to the basketball.

"Oh my God, he actually came up with the idea of using this trick to stop Owen from fouling him!"

"This ...... That's fine, too! I've never seen anyone play basketball like this! ”

Only then did the fans at the scene know what Xie Chen wanted to do, he first used basketball to attract Owen's attention, and then took the opportunity to get rid of Owen.

However, Owen got rid of it, and JR Smith, who kept chasing behind him, took this opportunity to catch up.

Xie Chen was already close to the basket, JR Smith was only one step away from Xie Chen, and just when JR Smith was about to make a move, James shouted from behind: "Don't touch him!" ”

JR Smith's defensive position is very bad, it is behind Xie Chen, with the bounce of the two, it is impossible for JR Smith to cover Xie Chen, and if Xie Chen is forcibly pulled to stop, James is worried that he will steal the chicken and not lose the rice, Xie Chen's physical confrontation, James knows it very well, and he is on a par with himself, how can JR Smith pull it down? This is very likely to give Xie Chen a chance to create a 2+1. Today, the Knicks have scored too many 2+1s, otherwise they won't always be ahead, and James doesn't want such goals to happen again.

JR Smith really wanted to instinctively hug Xie Chen from behind, Xie Chen was also ready to use James's layup ability as long as JR touched him, Xie Chen firmly believed that he was so close to the basket, and there was no one to defend under the basket, JR fouled from behind, it was simply a point to him!

However, James's reminder made JR Smith give up, and he decided to let Xie Chen shoot the ball.

"Oh? Don't pull me? Xie Chen found that JR Smith behind him actually stopped, since JR Smith didn't defend, then don't blame Xie Chen for putting on a performance.

Xie Chen stepped up, held the ball in both hands, put it on his waist, held the ball in the air and swung it to the lower right, and then raised it with both hands and jumped over his head, and his hands were framed!

After the slam dunk, Xie Chen stretched out his arms, which is the standard configuration of this slam dunk celebration.

"Handsome! It's just handsome! Countless female fans were moved by Xie Chen's handsome dunk, and supermodel Kate Upton, who watched two consecutive games, completely became a fan.

This goal also made countless Xie Chen fans all over the world excited.

"First steal the fast break from a teammate, then bounce the ball to the front to avoid Irving's foul, and then perform his signature dunk in front of JR Smith...... I can't believe it's all true. ”

"This is so unrealistic, this is so unrealistic!"

Quite a few people shouted.

When Xie Chen turned around to go back after dunking, JR Smith said to the oncoming Xie Chen in a daze, "You just used my dunk action." ”

Xie Chen put away the unfolded "wings" and said with a smile: "Have you applied for a patent?" ”

Xie Chen still thought that he and JR Smith were absolute opposites and enemies, thinking that they would fight at any time, and he didn't know that JR Smith was ready to tattoo his name on himself.

JR Smith was actually very happy that Xie Chen could use this move, he didn't know what's wrong, he actually opened his mouth to praise his opponent, he said to Xie Chen blankly: "I've never seen anyone play like you." (To be continued.) )
