It's been 20 years since Miller's moment, but to this day, it's still often mentioned by many fans, scoring 8.9 points in 8.9 seconds, and the only thing that can compare to it is Maddy's 35.13 seconds.

The reason why Xie Chen guessed in advance that he would meet the Pacers and Reggie Miller on this day was because when he was playing the rocket before, he met Maddie on the day when the gods descended to earth, and then, Xie Chen prevented the Maddie moment from happening in the Legendary Challenge.

Today, he will be a bad guy again and stop the miracle from happening.

However, this kind of thing does not mean that he has a chance to stop it if he wants to stop it, the miracle staged at the critical moment comes from the premise that the score is close to being in suspense, if the Knicks lead the legendary Pacers by a large score in the fourth quarter, or the legendary Pacers lead Xie Chen by a large score, there will be no "Miller moment".

Reggie Miller is a legendary opponent that Xie Chen is looking forward to, his ability at critical moments and three-point ability make Xie Chen want to compare with him, especially the ability of three-point shots, many people are asking, whether Reggie Miller's three-point is great or Curry, Xie Chen's three-point strength, they belong to different generations, there is no chance to compete, today, Xie Chen has this opportunity.

The Indiana Pacers in the 90s were the "Reggie Miller team", just like the Spurs alias "George Gervin" in the early 80s, and the 76ers alias "Dr. J" in the late 70s, if you don't watch the game, it's hard to understand how much influence a guy who averaged 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game and was on the third team in the league three times in his career has on this team.

Xie Chen met Reggie Miller, 30 years old, who seemed to be in very good shape, and had been squinting at Xie Chen before the game, after the start of the game. Reggie Miller scored two three-pointers by running without the ball, Xie Chen didn't respond, he was tired of the trick of surprising the opponent as soon as he came up, he played slowly, and it was not too late to let the opponent know how good he was in the middle of the game.

Xie Chen personally defended Reggie Miller, who was 5 centimeters taller than him, although Reggie Miller also scored occasionally. But for Xie Chen's defense, Miller still felt very uncomfortable, even if Xie Chen didn't make any small moves, and even didn't do his best to defend because he was worried about fouls.

Reggie Miller spewed trash talk to Xie Chen: "Boy, you can't guard me, shoot in front of you, I don't need to jump at all." ”

Xie Chen responded, "Did you jump before?" Then you're really old, jumping so short, I really don't like bullying the elderly. ”

"What? You call me an old man? Reggie Miller was angry. He actually saw Xie Chen's defensive attitude towards him from the beginning, as if he was really a little humble, which made Reggie Miller feel very unbearable.

Then, although Miller didn't see Xie Chen's three-point strength, he saw Xie Chen's speed when he broke through and his step-back jumper like Jordan, as well as a Carter-like violent dunk he had never seen.

"This guy's talent is incredible, this ball is hard to play!" Reggie Miller was melancholy.

Ever since he knew how powerful Xie Chen was, Miller began to become more serious. He knew he had to stand up and respond to Xie Chen.

Reggie Miller started a crazy off-ball run, and Xie Chen was also happy to keep up with Reggie Miller's footsteps. He also admired Miller's tireless search for opportunities to make a move.

Reggie Miller had deformed legs as a child, learned to walk at the age of 11, and like Forrest Gump when he was a child, he had orthotic braces on his legs, and his congenital deficiencies caused him to start basketball late.

And Miller's figure is very thin. In terms of strength, he is a little weaker than most guards, bounces and confrontations are not cheap, and his size is also destined for him to not be able to dribble, too easy to be tackled, and his dribbling is also very average.

Since the talent is so ordinary. How could Reggie Miller be drafted by the Pacers? Walkers' president at the time, Willsh, said three things: tall guard, high shots, and never giving up.

People are self-aware, Miller is such a person, he knows that he doesn't have the dribble like Iverson, the dunk and layup ability like Jordan, and the ability to break through people so strongly, so his style of play is even simpler, Miller has no superfluous movements after receiving the ball, and the talent is not as good as you, but I can beat you by running non-stop.

So, you can understand why Reggie Miller said something like, "This ball is for you XX", right?

Reggie Miller pushed Xie Chen's arms away, used the reaction force to retreat to the bottom corner, and then caught the ball again and made a jumper, after this shot, Reggie Miller went crazy, he began to spew trash talk to Xie Chen who was defending him more arrogantly, he had already begun to look at no one, that look and gesture seemed to say, what if you have talent? What about your fast dunk hanging? It's not like I'm beating you yet!

Miller has always had this mentality.

Seeing that the whole audience was boiling, and seeing that Reggie Miller seemed to be a different person, Xie Chen felt that it was time for Reggie Miller to know who the real three-point master was.

"You actually used the rebound force that pushed me to accelerate back to the bottom corner and shoot a three-pointer, Reggie Miller, you really can." Xie Chen smiled and didn't respond to Reggie Miller with words, he wanted a three-point shot to respond!

Slowly hold the ball over half court, and then, one step away from the three-point line, Xie Chen shot directly, Xie Chen will not shoot three points as seriously as others, anywhere is a shooting point, no way, it's so capricious, if it weren't for Curry's reputation, Ku Ritian would have a good name.

Bang, the three-pointer hits the iron.

"Ugh." Xie Chen didn't expect to miss the first ball, which attracted ridicule from many viewers at the scene, all of them were asking if that No. 0 was stupid and shot in such a hurry? Reggie Miller also laughed, Xie Chen didn't care, Curry's three-point hanging is not 100%, what's so strange about losing one.

Then, the next offense, Curry is no longer so capricious, don't play any ultra-long three-point shooting, or just shoot at the three-point line, using dribbling and speed, Xie Chen got rid of the opponent and got the space to shoot, and instantly made a three-point shot, Reggie Miller exclaimed that the shot was so fast, and then he saw the basketball go straight to the basket!

The basketball brushed twice on the basket and came out again!

"Damn, I didn't go in again!" Xie Chen was a little depressed. It can only be said that it was bad luck, the ball was almost going in, but Xie Chen still maintained very good patience.

Another two minutes passed. Xie Chen got a chance to shoot three points in the bottom corner! Shoot three points in the open position, or the bottom corner! What does this mean? 100% will enter, will you? Be modest, let's say 90 percent, in short, this ball is simply unreasonable.

Xie Chen happily threw the ball, and then saw that the basketball quickly went to the other side.

Lost again! How could you be so unlucky?! Xie Chen felt that 20 shots like this would not necessarily miss one. Today, I was so unlucky that I struck iron one after another?

Or is it that now the Knicks are ahead, and the system is afraid that the Knicks are too far ahead and will not meet the conditions of the Miller moment in the end, so they deliberately reduced Xie Chen's hit rate?

This also sounds a bit absurd, but whether this is the case or not, Xie Chen is a little unhappy anyway. Reggie Miller ran over and spewed trash talk to Xie Chen just now, before Miller's ridicule, Xie Chen could feel that it didn't matter after listening to it, that was because he thought he would respond with action soon, and now, the response was a response, but the ridicule was even stronger.

"You can't shoot without anyone guarding you, how did you get into the NBA? Hahaha. Reggie Miller scoffed.

Xie Chen was a little unhappy: "I won't really deliberately maintain the score." So that Reggie Miller has one last chance to stage the Miller moment to kill us, right? Well, whether it's true or not. You have the power to stop me from throwing, but you can't stop me from throwing! I'm not going to let Reggie Miller stage a Miller moment, I'm too lazy to stop it! Today, this one, I want to be the losing side, and I want to stage my own moment! ”

Xie Chen changed his mind. He originally wanted to stop the Miller moment like he stopped the Maddie moment last time, but now, he wants to deliberately fall behind the score and be the one who performs a miracle in the final moments!

"If this day is destined to be a miracle, why can't it be me?" Xie Chen said secretly.

Xie Chen began to deliberately make the Knicks a catch-up side. However, things did not play out as Xie Chen expected, once the Pacers saw that there was a hope of winning, they grabbed it and quickly expanded the score, Xie Chen really wanted to chase, only to know how difficult it was, he could score quickly, but he could no longer stop the opponent from scoring.

"I have seen the sunshine of victory, I will never lose to you, you don't want to overtake the score!" Reggie Miller looked at Xie Chen's face and said this seriously, Xie Chen felt the tenacity of Reggie Miller and his teammates, which made him think of Reggie Miller's entire career.

Indiana's veterans made it to the Eastern Conference Finals five times in seven years, and in their final, oldest year, they made it to the Finals, where Reggie Miller made 58 three-pointers in the playoffs that year.

Xie Chen began to ask himself, is there such a tenacious and never-give-up determination as Reggie Miller? Miller's moments exist because he never gives up on the game, and he fights for it even if he gets the slightest opportunity.

"I'm going to beat them!" Xie Chen clenched his fists again, and now when he said before the game that he wanted to defeat them, he had completely two hearts.

Now that the team is 15 points behind, Xie Chen needs to keep scoring and need to guard every next ball from the Pacers in order to have a chance to play his own moment.

It's easy to score, but it's not so easy to defend, and he's not too familiar with these opponents, and it takes a long time to know how to stop them.

Finally, under Xie Chen's sudden crazy performance and two steals in a row, 18.7 seconds before the end, the Knicks chased down by only 6 points.

It's a moment of despair, but it's also a moment of excitement.

Desperately, it was almost impossible to recover 6 points in 18 seconds, and what made Xie Chen excited was that he knew that it could happen.

A miracle will eventually happen, just like this day in history, except that the teams on both sides have dropped one by one, and it is no longer the Pacers with Miller who are behind, but the Knicks who have Xie Chen.

Xie Chen wants to be the one who performs miracles.

Xie Chen clearly remembers where each ball of the Miller moment is, so he is going to replicate the Miller moment next, and now the legendary Pacers have no worries about the opponent coming back, because Xie Chen has not proven how good his three-point shooting is before.

Time began to beat, the Knicks sent a throw-in, Miller's first ball at the left wing was projected at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, Xie Chen also appeared in this position, like Miller back then, Xie Chen got rid of the defenders, after receiving the ball, he shot instantly, the beginning of a miracle is always the most important, if this first ball does not go in, there will be no magical thing.

Miller stared blankly at the basketball that shot at the basket in a high arc, muttering in his heart that he must not go in, however, this time the three-point shot was accurate into the net!

"Damn it!" Reggie Miller scolded, but he was still not worried, because they were still three points ahead and with 16 seconds left in the game, the victory was still in their hands.

The atmosphere became particularly tense, and even the legendary Pacers coach Larry Brown looked serious, not to mention the players on the court.

"The next goal is the most important goal of Miller's moment!" Xie Chen did not relax in the slightest after scoring the goal, because he knew that the most difficult goal of Miller's moment was coming!

After scoring the first three-pointer, you have to break the opponent's serve, and then, don't talk about it, it's already difficult to break the opponent's serve, and now I think about it and then it's a little too confident!

The five players of the legendary Pacers were very panicked, and they were about to send out this ball quickly, Xie Chen shouted at his teammates: "Stop them!" Get in front of them! ”

Don't let the legendary Pacers serve well!

Reggie Miller suddenly rushed forward to catch the ball, Xie Chen chased after him, the two were entangled, and the player who served the ball saw that the two were very entangled, and he was afraid of being cut off, so he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to pass the ball out for a while.

Then, I heard Larry Brown, the coach of the legendary Pacers, shouting from the sidelines: "Pass the ball!" ”

There was no time left, the legendary walker had to pass the ball, Reggie Miller was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything else, and suddenly made a dark elbow to Xie Chen, hit Xie Chen on the stomach, and then tried to use this method to get rid of Xie Chen and catch the ball.

This reminded Xie Chen!

When it comes to the small actions of the Yin Man, Xie Chen is no worse than Reggie Miller, let you taste the power of Karl Malone first!

Xie Chen quickly responded with Karl Malone's fighting ability, and the thin Reggie Miller just made a move to ask for the ball, and was instantly knocked to the ground by Xie Chen!

The referee didn't blow the whistle!

And the ball from the Pacers has been sent, and Xie Chen, like Reggie Miller in the "Miller Moment", received this pass from the opponent.

Next, there is the most important ball, and if the Miller moment is more classic than the Maddie moment, it is the next ball. (To be continued......)
