I didn't expect Jessica Alba to really know a lot about basketball, no wonder Scarlett would recommend her to communicate with Xie Chen, it's different to have the guidance of professionals, since you want to fake falling, then perform more professionally, not only can you not deceive the referee, but even the fans will laugh at it.

Superstars such as Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Wade have all had fake falls that are so fake that they can't bear to look at them directly, and Xie Chen hopes that every fake fall he has is realistic.

There may be many people who are very shameful about fake falls, including the previous Pat Riley, who said that those European players have brought bad to the atmosphere of the NBA and made the NBA no longer a pure fight, but with the development and changes of the NBA now, the NBA culture is full of too many different styles and skills.

Moreover, many of Xie Chen's skills make outsiders mistakenly think that Xie Chen is very strong, which will make the opponent use more strength to maliciously foul, but in fact, Xie Chen's physical endurance when he does not use skills is not high, which will inevitably lead to injury.

According to what Alba said, Xie Chen first found the feeling of being elbowed in his heart, and then made corresponding performance movements.

Alba was clearly not satisfied: "It's too exaggerated, Mr. MVP, you do another performance where you accidentally slipped your hand and got off the basketball during a layup, so that the referee mistakenly thought that you were being beaten by a defender." ”

Xie Chen stood in place and thought about it for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was really not a simple thing to perform well, first of all, he had to completely cover up the panic feeling of his hand slipping away, and then, to show the expression of anger and pain after being beaten, in addition to facial expressions, body expressions, especially the movements of his arms, were also very important, after being hit on the wrist. The movement of the arms, maybe physical contact in the air for realism, and all of this has to be done in an instant during the game.

Xie Chen thought for a long time. Before making this performance, Alba smiled slightly: "This performance is amazing." I think the highest level of fake fall is to really fall, I know that you learn to perform fake fall not to cheat fouls, but to protect yourself, compared to David West before you react in advance, I prefer that you perform after he has made a move, for example, he pushed you only with three points, you perform the effect of being pushed by him with all his strength, and it is true that there is physical contact. The judges also can't tell if your performance is real or exaggerated. ”

Alba is right, I didn't expect her to know so much about the NBA as a Hollywood movie star, but if she really has physical contact and then performs, Xie Chen is still at risk of injury, but if you can perform once in advance, it would be too fake. What a contradiction!

Xie Chen and Alba communicated for more than half an hour, Xie Chen's experience in performance has improved a lot, Alba has contributed a lot, this big beauty did not chat with Xie Chen for too long, and asked Xie Chen to care more about Scarlett at the end.

After training the next day. Xie Chen and his teammates followed the other teams that were facing each other in the playoffs, and at this time, the Hawks in third place in the East and the Wizards in sixth place in the East were in full swing, and the two sides were inseparable. This is the second series between the two teams, and the first game is dominated by the Eagles without suspense, but this one seems to be quite tough.

This game Wizards had the upper hand from the beginning, John Wall had as many as 16 assists in the first three quarters, and the most amazing thing was the veteran Paul Pierce, who repeatedly shot three points at critical moments to help the team, and in the end, the Wizards actually won on the road, and the series between the two teams was tied 1-1!

I didn't expect the unstoppable Eagles in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, the opponent was forced to draw 1-1 on their home court, and I believe that the whole Hawks team must be disappointed in this result. Paul Pierce, the old guy, like Wade, suddenly rejuvenated in the playoffs. It's all in good shape, so it's no wonder people always say that the playoffs are the world of old skins.

John Wall's performance in these two games is also extremely good, at least in terms of assists, Xie Chen is out of reach, he and Irving, Rose, are competing with Xie Chen for the position of "No. 1 point guard in the Eastern Conference playoffs".

Soon, the second game of the series between the Warriors and the Pelicans was also staged, the fanatical fans at the Warriors' home court, the suffocating away atmosphere, Xie Chen couldn't help but be frightened even when he watched the TV screen, and he could empathize with Anthony Davis's mood at the moment.

The Pelicans have already felt the difference between the playoffs and the regular season in the first game, and after today's opening, they calmed down a lot, Gordon and Davis had a good performance, and they once led the Pelicans to lead the score, but soon the sharpshooter Stephen Curry was powerful, hitting three-pointers one after another, and the three-point record in the regular season lost to Xie Chen, it seems that Curry wants to set a three-point goal record in the playoffs.

Watching Curry hit three-pointers again and again, Xie Chen asked his teammates: "Who of you knows who holds the three-point goal record in a single season playoffs?" How many are there? ”

Without waiting for Hassan Whiteside to check on his phone, the veteran Haslem gave the answer: "It's Reggie Miller, who shot 58 three-pointers in the 2000 playoffs." ”

"58 three-pointers?" Xie Chen silently calculated in his heart, according to Curry's average number of three-pointers per game, as long as the Warriors can reach the Western Conference Finals, this record will be broken, it seems that Curry is going to move towards a record again, Xie Chen smiled, how could Xie Chen not accompany such a thing?

The game between the Warriors and the Pelicans reached the most critical fourth quarter, and in the last minute, the Pelicans only trailed by four points, but they still had a good chance, only to see that Curry slipped to the baseline to catch the ball, quickly jumped up to shoot, and shot another three-pointer!

Even Wade couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, this guy is really crazy, this is his seventh three-pointer of the game, right?" Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, his three-point level still did not decline. ”

The Warriors are in a frenzy at home, a yellow sea is surging, and the Pelicans seem to be slowly losing Game 2!

At this moment, Xie Chen very much hopes that Davis can lead the team to fight back, but unfortunately, he also knows that this is unrealistic, Davis is also a rookie in the playoffs!

At this moment, the Warriors attacked, Curry just received the ball at the top of the arc, and an unexpected scene happened, Anthony Davis actually took the initiative to ask himself to defend Curry! Davis walked up to Curry, who was holding the ball and didn't move. Instead, he shook his head while spitting out his braces!

Oh, my God! Such a tense atmosphere, such a crucial game. Curry shook his head from side to side! Is this an expression of disdain for Anthony Davis defending him?

The fans at the scene were crazy, and the players on the Heat side also laughed one by one.

Hassan laughed, "I guess Anthony Davis must have wanted to walk over and straighten Stephen's head." ”

"Shouldn't we call him "Shake the Head Library" in the future? Oh look. Even Cole couldn't stand it and called a timeout! ”

"See, Mario, that's because time is running out."

Although Curry was suspected of pretending, he set an example for Xie Chen, what's wrong with the playoffs, you can easily play and win in the playoffs. Xie Chen felt that he had heard others say too many times that "the playoffs are different from the regular season", so he paid too much attention to the playoffs psychologically, completely lost the mentality of the regular season, and played too restrained in the first game.

What kind of game is the playoffs, you should experience it yourself, not rely on what others say to understand, Xie Chen thought about it like this, and felt a lot more comfortable.

In the end, it was as Curry easily slashed the Pelicans down and led the series by an absolute 2-0 lead.

"The Warriors are 2-0. As the No. 1 player in the East, we also need to win the Pacers one more game in the future! Xie Chen said secretly, the strong team has nothing to say to the weak team. Even if you sweep, you have to roll, and there is no need to fail a single one.

The next day, the Heat or NBA ushered in a big news, that is, Heat coach Alex Polstra was elected the best coach of the season!

Xie Chen and his teammates knew the good news early in the morning, and they came to the stadium to congratulate Coach Spo, and Coach Spo couldn't hide his excitement, which was undoubtedly the greatest recognition and praise for the coach.

The NBA Coach of the Year Award, also known as the Reed Auerbach Trophy, is named after the nine-time NBA champion Celtics coach "Cardinal" Auerbach. In a poll of 130 media from the U.S. and Canada, Coach Spo received 67 first-place votes. A total of 513 points, and Steve Kerr, who led the Golden State Warriors to the best record in franchise history this season, received 56 first-place votes. A total of 471 points, unfortunately lost to Spo!

In the midst of jubilation, Wade stepped forward and hugged Coach Spo affectionately: "Congratulations, coach, you have finally been recognized, this is an honor you should have received a long time ago." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Coach Spo hugged Wade for a while, and it seemed that tears were about to burst out of his eyes, and it could be seen that he was also very excited at this moment.

Coach Spo has always been considered a puppet of Pat Riley, in the past few years, although Spo has led the team to the Finals four times and won the NBA championship that symbolizes the highest honor for two consecutive years, he is still not recognized by the outside world, the reason is simple, the Heat have LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, these are three superstars who are in their prime at the same time, and there are helpers like Ray Allen, who leads the team to a championship is within reach.

But this year, when everyone was not optimistic about the Heat, Coach Spo dared to use newcomers to lead the team to win the first record in the East, which really surprised many people.

Spo and Wade hugged each other tightly for a full twenty seconds, maybe the two of them had a lot of words in this silent embrace, Xie Chen suddenly remembered that three years ago, Wade angrily scolded Spo, "Disappear from my eyes immediately!" This season, Spo is also tolerant of many things about rookie Xie Chen, and from the point of respecting players and protecting players, Spo does deserve the award of best coach.

After hugging Wade, Spo was the first to walk in front of Xie Chen and took the initiative to hug Xie Chen, he knew that without Xie Chen, the Heat would not be able to win the first place in the East, and without Xie Chen, he would not be able to win the best coach.

"This award, half of yours." Spo said with a smile to Xie Chen.

"I don't mind if you cut him in half and give it to me." Xie Chen joked.

Unexpectedly, Coach Spo was serious and said, "If you really want to, I can do this." ”

Xie Chen excused himself again and again: "Don't hurt me, I'm afraid that the Cardinal Church will suddenly appear in my dream one night with a cigar in my mouth." ”

Everyone laughed, because the Heat still did not play the next day, so all the players were relatively relaxed and there was no pressure all day.

On the second day, although there was no game between the Heat and the Pacers, there were still three playoff games going on, one of which Xie Chen and the Heat had to pay attention to, and the second game of the Cavaliers against the Celtics was also the first of the three.

The Cavaliers are the biggest enemy of the Heat East, and the Cavaliers' victory or defeat in every game is crucial for the Heat, and no one doesn't expect the Cavaliers to be eliminated before they meet the Heat, although this is unrealistic, but everyone expects so.

The meaning of LeBron's existence seems to be to play in the Finals, so the Heat don't want to meet a guy who deserves to be in the Finals.

In this game, the Cavaliers started very smoothly, suppressing the Celtics in the score, the whole Celtics team didn't look high, and it didn't seem to have any sense of victory or defeat, Xie Chen knew that it was impossible for these Celtics guys to bring the slightest obstacle to James.

And this is indeed the case, Irving and Lefu are extremely good, especially James, as long as it is a single defense, he must go into the restricted area like a tank to make a layup, as long as there is no foul action, as long as he is not trapped, James can easily make a layup when facing a person to defend the layup, even if it is a center who defends him, James can easily hit a layup under physical confrontation.

Xie Chen was also envious in his heart: "It's so easy, the success rate is too high, it can be described as simple and rough, no special skills are needed, just use your body to squeeze the opponent out of the way, and then put the ball in the basket, now my Westbrook breakthrough skills have been fully integrated, in the next game, if there is a chance, I should improve James's layup skills!" ”

At present, Xie Chen's James layup skills are still in the initial fusion state, and even if all 60 fusion points are used, they cannot be fully fused, so as long as there is an opportunity, Xie Chen should improve the degree of fusion.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily won the Celtics at home and won the second game of the series, James got 30+10+8, Love got 21+7, and Irving got 26+6+6.

Xie Chen couldn't help but think, even if Wade really recovered to his peak state, what was the probability of winning against the Big Three? (To be continued) R466
