Chapter 127: Gentlemen's Duel

In the last game of the Heat vs. Clippers, Paul told Xie Chen that a point guard can do more than just score and assist, an excellent point guard can make the game look better, and then showed Xie Chen his ability with air connections again and again, and Xie Chen, who did not admit defeat, also used air connections again and again to return the color to Paul, and promised Paul in advance that he would play 5 air connections in that game!

So, now, this one, Paul said to Xie Chen, I'm going to do it 6 times! Paul knows that Xie Chen is a guy who does not admit defeat, although he is a fledgling, although it is only the first season, but he is not convinced by the killing of the Quartet, he wants to stimulate Xie Chen in this way, it is best to let Xie Chen show his determination to complete 7 empty connections tonight, because the air relay is very difficult, and it is most likely to cause passing mistakes, and Paul's purpose is to make Xie Chen make mistakes!

Paul didn't know why Xie Chen was so afraid of making mistakes, but he knew that once Xie Chen's mistakes increased, it would have a great impact on Xie Chen's psychology.

Xie Chen glanced at Paul, and did not respond verbally in the face of Paul's provocation, the last time he played empty pickup, it was because there was a reward for system tasks, this time, purely in response to Paul, Xie Chen felt that the gains outweighed the losses, of course, if there was a good opportunity, he would definitely not give up the opportunity to cooperate with his teammates.

The biggest difference between this game and the previous one is the inside line, when the last game played the Clippers, the Heat did not have Hassan Whiteside, the guide was ravaged by the Clippers' various empty dunks, and there was no rebound, when Xie Chen played the empty catch, he could not find a player like Griffin Jordan Jr. to cooperate, today, Xie Chen has strong teammates support, I believe it will be easier to play the Clippers.

The Heat team served, after Xie Chen received the pass, he found that Paul was still defending himself from the backcourt, and Wade, who was not far away, reached out to ask for the ball and tried to help Wade share his worries, but this time the stubborn Xie Chen did not choose to pass the ball to his teammates again.

"Hmph, arrogant fellow! Even if I don't have any skills, I've played basketball for more than ten years, and as a point guard, I can't dribble past half the court? ”

Xie Chen felt that Paul's approach was Yan Zhan's contempt for his dribbling ability, so he immediately possessed Lowry's skills and broke through Paul from the backcourt!

The space in front of him is so huge, Xie Chen can completely change direction and speed to pass Paul, but Xie Chen just wants to squeeze Paul away with his body, and Paul, who is ready to steal at any time, is just about to stretch out his hand, and when Xie Chen's body collides with him, Paul instantly retreats back, and his heart is suddenly shocked: "This guy's strength ...... So strong! ”

Lowry weighs at least seven kilograms heavier than Paul, in terms of physical confrontation alone, Paul naturally can't be compared with Xie Chen when he broke through, after Xie Chen knocked Paul away with absolute strength, there was a burst of darkness, and he quickly passed the half, but before he could organize the attack, this annoying haunting ghost followed up again, and continued to stick to Xie Chen's body, up and down his hands, tirelessly interfering with Xie Chen's movements and sight.

"You've always been close to the defense, are you so unafraid of my breakthrough layup!" Xie Chen was a little more serious than Paul, seeing Paul's close defense, he immediately took a breakthrough attack, passed Paul and went straight to the basket for a layup, but just one step in, somehow, Matt Barnes suddenly rushed over from the right side, snapped and knocked out Xie Chen's basketball, and stopped Xie Chen's breakthrough layup for the first time!

"Well done! Matt! Paul was overjoyed, received the basketball quickly, and hit a three-pointer steadily.

Paul scored 5 points in a row as soon as he came up, and also handed out an assist, while Xie Chen, on the other hand, did not have any appearance, but also made two turnovers.

Xie Chen was really a little impatient at this moment, he wanted to desperately brush up points in this game, but now he didn't get the points, but he lost 4 points first! This is only the first quarter, and if the whole game goes on like this, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Paul glanced at Xie Chen's anxious mood and smiled secretly, sure enough, Paul did these things in advance and had an effect, Xie Chen has made two mistakes so far, if Paul guessed correctly, next, he will become more cautious, he will not dare to pass the ball, dare not break through, once this happens, the overall strength of the Heat will drop a lot, and when the time comes, it will be the opportunity for the Clippers!

Because Paul was eyeing Xie Chen, Wade controlled the ball for most of the next time, and the Heat played decently, however, the Clippers seemed to be particularly excited, and Paul assisted JJ Redick twice in a row to score, one was a small throw layup after receiving the ball, and the other was a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle.

Paul became more and more energetic, seeing that the score was leading at this time, he wanted to play an aerial relay with Jordan Jr., and the basketball was thrown to the basket without warning, Jordan Jr. had long been accustomed to Paul's unpredictable passing, and jumped high for the first time, ready to wreak havoc on the Heat's basket, but just when Little Jordan was about to touch the basket, he was slapped out by Hassan!

Paul frowned, he didn't expect Hassan, a young boy, to react so quickly, and his actions were not far behind his thinking, if it was the last game, I believe he would have completed a beautiful air connection with Deandre Jordan.

Hassan interfered with Paul's pass, and in the end, the ball fell into the hands of the Heat, and Xie Chen ran out of the half court for the first time and launched a fast attack!

"Damn, I was deducted four points as soon as I came up, and this time it's finally my turn to score!" Xie Chen rushed to the Clippers' basket like crazy after holding the ball.

"Guard against him!" Paul yelled at JJ Reddick as he chased after him.

At this time, the Heat was also involved in Wade, but Paul completely let Wade go! The reason is very simple, he doesn't think that Xie Chen will pass the ball in this situation, such a fast speed, Wade is behind Xie Chen again, Xie Chen must have made a layup first to pass to Wade, but will Xie Chen do this? Paul didn't think that Xie Chen would be willing to take this risk, in terms of passing, except for the first few games of the Cavaliers in order to compete with James, Xie Chen passed some difficult passes, other times, Xie Chen was very cautious in passing.

Sure enough, Xie Chen skipped past JJ Reddick and made a backhand layup.

As soon as Xie Chen's basketball shot, Paul, who had been staring at Xie Chen, flew over and shot the basketball out of bounds with both hands!

Backbite!

Paul did get it right, but his height disadvantage limited his ability, and Paul was fouled by a push behind his back.

Xie Chen was taken aback, thinking that he had been blocked by Paul once, but fortunately, the pleasant whistle sounded, Xie Chen saw that it was not the angel female referee who blew the whistle! Xie Chen hurriedly stepped forward and thanked: "God bless, tonight's referee is you!" ”

The angel female referee, who has always been unsmiling, chuckled lightly and walked away, and little Jordan, who had wanted to hit his chest in the distance, saw this scene and dug out his nose, but this time, little Jordan did not smear his nose on Redick's jersey......

Little Jordan was in a peaceful state, but Paul was extremely angry, and actually ran to reason with the female referee, he felt that he had not fouled, in fact, he didn't know if he had a foul, but he knew that he had predicted Xie Chen's layup in advance, this block was originally deserved, the angel female referee helped Xie Chen again this time, and gave Paul a technical foul, Paul obediently retreated and walked aside, but he still waved his fist a little unhappily, this ball is definitely a big hat to be replaced by James or someone else, For the first time in the last two years, Paul is unhappy with his height.

Xie Chen made two free throws in three and scored two points, and finally made up for a mistake, but Xie Chen didn't pay back the money on the court, he came to make money!

Scores, assists, rebounds, you have to start playing!

In the last game, Xie Chen got so many rebounds in the first quarter because the shooting rate of both sides was not high, and the basketball bounced in the direction of his side, but in this quarter, the Clippers' shooting rate was very good, even if there were rebounds, they all let Hassan intercept first, so Xie Chen's rebounding count was pitiful.

When Xie Chen went off the court in the first quarter, his count was 4 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers, while Chris Paul's count was 8 points, 4 assists and 2 steals.

The fans at the scene were ecstatic, and Paul's fans in the major basketball forums also sprung up one by one. posted one after another that Jiang is still old and spicy, Xie Chen is still a lot worse than Paul in terms of basic skills, and his stability and ability to lead the team are even worse than Paul, and even threatened that one-on-one single-handedly Xie Chen is not Paul's opponent.

Xie Chen sat on the bench and breathed a sigh of relief, the first quarter table was too bad, the second quarter must be recovered, no more mistakes, and also to score, but also to help teammates score, but also to grab rebounds, get points, this game, Xie Chen is ready to get 95 points, even if you can't get this one, after the next game against the Knicks, Xie Chen's personal points will definitely be able to accumulate 600 points, after playing the Knicks, there are still seven days to meet the Thunder, which is enough for Xie Chen to improve the degree of integration.

It didn't take long for Wade to also take a break, he sat down next to Xie Chen, wiped his sweat with a towel, and asked Xie Chen: "Brother, why do I think CP3 seems to be targeting you tonight?" Isn't there something you two have to do? ”

Xie Chen smiled helplessly: "We haven't even been to a nightclub together, what can we do?" He probably sensed my threat to him. ”

Wade nodded, he knew that Paul didn't like to show much, and many things were hidden in his heart: "It's possible that what Shaq said really stimulated him, but you can rest assured that even if he targets you again, with his character, he will not make some malicious actions to hurt you, both of you are point guards that I admire very much, and I really want to see a gentleman's duel between the two of you in the No. 1 position." ”

Xie Chen looked at Paul in the Clippers player box opposite, and found that Paul was also looking at him at this time, Xie Chen smiled, looking forward to the second quarter of the battle between the two.
