"Finally won the first game!" As the end of the game slowly approached, LeBron James clenched his fists and felt relieved.

The Knicks finally lost, even if Xie Chen stepped forward to save the team again and again in regular time, but in overtime, the team still had no one other than him to stand up, and Xie Chen also had serious physical problems, plus the Cavaliers played so well from beginning to end, the Knicks lost this game can be said to be deserved.

This victory is of great significance to James, because he wants to win Xie Chen in the playoffs, he has been thinking and waiting for a whole year, no one knows how James spent the past year and endured it, watching Xie Chen snatch his championship, watching Xie Chen step on his shoulder and ascend to the position of the first person in the league, James has been holding back, just waiting for this year's playoffs to make a name for himself!

"Before Xie gets a better helper, I have to stop him in the past two years." James is fully aware of Xie Chen's threat to his league status and historical status, and now is the best opportunity for James, because Xie Chen will definitely get better helpers in the future, or take the initiative to seek a better team, and James's state will be worse year by year, and when James wants to stop Xie Chen, there is no way.

But fortunately, the Warriors have now become a team that has made history, and in the next few years, they will not let Xie Chen dominate.

When the game was finally over, there was jubilation in the Quick-Loan Arena, and Kate Upton was the only one who was unhappy, and her friend even said to Kate: "The man you admire doesn't seem to have that much stamina, and he didn't have the strength to play the first overtime." That's not your type of thing, after all, you like to play a lot of overtime when it's time in bed. ”

Kate Upton gave her friend a blank look: "Shut up, people still don't want to play overtime with me!" ”

Upton felt strange because he had spoken to Kevin Durant about Xie Chen. Durant thinks that Xie Chen is a guy with amazing physical strength, why can't he do it tonight?

On the court, Xie Chen hugged James goodbye, and James, who was speechless before the game, finally smiled and said to Xie Chen: "If this is the first round of the playoffs, I'm afraid this result is something you didn't expect, right?" ”

James obviously still thinks that Xie Chen wants to be ranked in the regular season. deliberately let the Knicks face the Knights, thinking that Xie Chen wanted to blacken James and embarrass James, Xie Chen was not afraid of anything, but he didn't like to carry the black pot, and when he saw James take the initiative to speak, he explained in person: "I never thought of meeting you in the first round." ”

James smiled and replied, "I'll make sure our team is unbeaten at home, see you next time." ”

Xie Chen could feel James's determination. Is he just trying to make sure he is unbeaten at home? He wants to win every win in the series! And it will be at all costs, in today's game, the big three played very well, and James didn't even play his best.

Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't use all of his energy. This one is regarded as a test of each other, and Xie Chen's biggest task is to ensure that the Legend Challenge is undefeated and the next one. The Knicks had to equalize.

After the game, media experts and fans talked about Xie Chen's physical problems. And how long can the Knicks support Xie Chen alone? Many people are beginning to look down on the Knicks' prospects, believing that the Knicks' playoff journey is about to reach the end.

The Cavaliers are different from the two opponents that the Knicks have faced before, the Raptors do not have super stars, and the Heat do not have the overall strength of the Cavaliers. Everyone knows that Xie Chen is the only chance for the Knicks to win the Cavaliers, but judging from today's situation, Xie Chen has been used too much, and he is tired and exhausted, as long as the Cavaliers drag the game to the end. Victory must be theirs.

After the game, the Knicks watched the video to reflect on the mistake, and the Cavaliers, too, were not busy celebrating and making a summary, but the overall atmosphere was quite pleasant.

JR Smith said disdainfully: "Although it was won in overtime, I think this game is very easy to win, just wait for the exhaustion to attack Xie, compared to last year, he does not have an interior pillar like Hassan Whiteside to protect rebounds, nor a veteran star like D-WADE who has been in the finals all year round, not to mention the bench strength, I think we will only win the next game more easily, right, LeBron?" ”

LeBron James smiled and didn't reply, but Kevin Love, who performed well, answered: "It's so cool to win the first game, this time last year, wearing a suit on the bench and watching that guy reverse the score one by one, it was so uncomfortable, I can finally return it today, but the series is still very long, we have to stay focused." ”

Tyronn Lue said: "Kevin is right, we only won one game, anything can happen in the future, no one wants last year's tragedy to be repeated, but the good news is that Xie is not like an iron man like last year, his physical fitness, especially mental concentration, the worse the state of the game, I think the Knicks have relied on Xie to win alone since the beginning of the regular season, and even more so in the playoffs, they have injured Xie, a sophomore, this is our chance, the next few games, You have to remember that no matter what happens, no matter how many points you are behind, you have to find a way to drag the score to the end to extra time, and as long as there is extra time, I think we will have a better chance of winning! ”

Tyronn Lue's analysis made James nod frequently, but he still couldn't understand why Xie Chen changed from an iron man to this?

Xie Chen, who just entered the league last year, has amazing physical strength, and he can still jump and grab rebounds, blocks, and even dunks in a row after playing four quarters in a row, and his shooting rate is not affected.

James suspected that this had something to do with Xie Chen's injury.

"Perhaps, what injuries Xie has is unknown to us, Pat Riley once thought that there would be a big problem with Xie's body, maybe this kind of thing really happened." James said secretly in his heart.

However, if Xie Chen really had this problem, why did Xie Chen have the courage to challenge the knights in the first round, and why was he so confident that he could be a black eight knights?!

"Could it be that Xie didn't lie? He really didn't have the idea of black eight to kill us? But. He was clearly deliberately losing at the end of the regular season. James was more and more puzzled.

Thinking of this, James was suddenly stunned.

Seeing James move suddenly, Kyrie Irving couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, LeBron?" ”

"It occurred to me that Xie deliberately lost certain games at the end of the regular season, not necessarily against us," James said. It's possible that they want to pick the Toronto Raptors. ”

Owen didn't expect James to think about it at this time, in fact, he was also disgusted by Xie Chen's plan to think about Black Ba, and felt that it was a huge provocation to every player of the Cavaliers, Owen said: "This can't be said, they obviously had a chance to fight for the fifth place in the East, although the Raptors were swept by them, but it is undeniable that the Raptors are also a strong team." ”

"If it's not against the Raptors, it's because they want to avoid other teams?" James inadvertently told the truth of the matter!

But. Even after he finished speaking, he felt that it was too ridiculous, a confident player like Xie Chen could avoid a mid-level team? This is unreasonable.

Seeing that James had been thinking about Xie Chen's affairs, Tyronn Lu was afraid that he would go crazy when he studied Xie Chen, and said: "Forget it, don't think about his affairs anymore, whether he deliberately wanted to embarrass us at that time, or didn't have such thoughts." We've all met now, this series. We must win, and we must win completely! ”

……

The Cavaliers and Knicks series were hotly discussed for a day, and then the conversation turned to the West, where the Warriors and Spurs game was also an epic Western Conference Finals matchup. After all, the Warriors and Spurs have both played great records this season, and they are great teams, but in the past, there have been too many classic matchups in the Western Conference Finals, such as 2002. The Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Sacramento Kings, such as the 1993 Phoenix Suns vs. the Seattle SuperSonics, such as the 2000 Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers, and the 1996 SuperSonics vs. Jazz, 1988 Lakers vs. Mavericks, these are all classics, and if the Warriors and Spurs want to be a classic matchup in the Western Conference Finals, it depends on whether they can play that kind of passion and story.

The Warriors and Spurs are the two best teams in the league this season, there is no doubt that the two best teams are in the West, if one is in the East, I believe no one doubts that the opponents in the Finals are the two of them, so this first makes this Western Conference Finals more meaningful, because in most people's eyes, as long as you win the Western Conference Championship, it is equivalent to winning the championship, of course, it is also possible that because the Western Conference Finals consume too much, the Eastern Conference Championship will take advantage of the Finals.

The Warriors made history this season, breaking the Chicago Bulls' 72-10 record, which is a remarkable achievement, and many people say that this achievement is more meaningful than the championship, because the championship is every year, but this record is not broken every year.

Similarly, this record also gave Xie Chen a lot of stimulation, if he was asked to do it all over again, he might choose not to play with Oladi, and try his best to win every game, as a team leader, no one would not be greedy for this record. Xie Chen feels that only by leading the team to play such a result can he be regarded as a superstar in history.

The Spurs are also remarkable, with the second-best record in the league and a home winning streak, second only to the Warriors' home winning streak. The Warriors and the Spurs have also played a few games this season, each with its own wins and losses, the Warriors have only lost to the Spurs once, and they lost by a narrow score, and that game Bogut, Iguodala, and Aizeli are not there, but the Spurs have lost by a large margin, so many people are still more optimistic about the Warriors.

The first game of the Western Conference finals was played on the Warriors' home court, and the Cavaliers and Knicks players on the Eastern side were also watching the game together at this time.

Phil Jackson also came to Cleveland to watch the Western Conference Finals with the Knicks, saying, "We're going to learn from the Warriors' offense and the Spurs' defense, and they're going to do their best in the first game and see how they do it, and in the second game against the Cavaliers, you do the same, and of course, if they play worse than we did yesterday, when I didn't say that." ”

There was laughter at the scene, but everyone was still very modest, after all, they all knew that the strength of the knights was inferior, and it was even worse to prepare something without a little effort.

Porzingis asked Xie Chen: "Boss, which of them do you think can win?" ”

Xie Chen smiled: "How do I know when it just starts?" But I know you're bullish on the Warriors. ”

As Porzingis' teammate, Xie Chen knows very well how much Porzingis admires and appreciates this Warriors, and even a little afraid, although the Knicks beat the Warriors in the regular season, Porzingis always thinks that the Knicks are not as good as the Warriors, but thinks that there is hope of winning against the Spurs.

These two teams, one is the unparalleled spear in the world, the other is the world's first shield, the Warriors' offense is really powerful, everyone who has fought with them knows the horror of the Warriors, which is not only reflected in the Splash Brothers.

However, after half the game, the Warriors' three-point shot was miserable!

"The Warriors hit only three three-pointers in the first half? Stephen Curry didn't hit any of them! "Everyone was a little surprised, did the Spurs' defense really suffocate the Warriors like this?

Anthony watched the first half and asked Xie Chen, "Do you want to meet the Warriors or the Spurs in the finals?" ”

Xie Chen smiled helplessly, this question is really difficult to answer, the Warriors' offense is really terrible, the Knicks can't fight against the Warriors at all, and the Spurs' defense is very difficult to entangle, Popovich is very good at dragging the opponent's rhythm, once the rhythm changes, the feeling will become cold, Popovich has his own tricks against any team.

In the second half, a surprising scene was staged again, Stephen Curry's three-point shot was covered!

"Danny Green is so good at defense?!" Even Xie Chen is not calm, because Green Gai Curry is equivalent to covering himself!

Anthony also looked at Xie Chen in surprise: "I've never seen anyone who can block your and Stephen Curry's three points, because your shooting speed is too fast, and you will never shoot against people, this is ...... It's horrible. ”

On the Cavaliers' side, James looked at the game and said: "The Spurs' way of dealing with Curry is the same as the way we dealt with Xie, except that they limited Curry, but we couldn't completely limit Xie, it's not that we don't defend well, but because compared to Stephen Curry, Xie is more versatile, but fortunately, Xie doesn't have so many good helpers like Curry, it seems that Popovich has found a way to deal with the Warriors, but I hope that the finals are against the Warriors." ”

James imagined that it would be more enjoyable to win the championship by beating the team with the best record in history...... (To be continued.) )
