The playoffs and the regular season are both four-quarter 48-minute games, but everyone knows that the playoffs and the regular season are different levels of competition, so what is the difference?

Some people say that the regular season is the world of offense, the playoffs rely on defense, some people say that the regular season is the new star who dominates the game, and the playoffs play a key role in the old skin, the regular season has a lot of back-to-back, a lot of injuries, an untidy lineup, or a practice of tactics, and the playoffs are different from the regular season, the most fundamental reason is that this is a series, either advance to the next round, or roll up and leave.

People will do whatever it takes to succeed, and players are the same on the field, so the physical confrontation in the playoffs is more intense, and even some players are ruthless and do everything.

In 2012, in the series between the Heat and the Pacers, when Pacers boss Granger knocked off James's headband on the court, dragged his jersey behind his back, and sprayed trash talk to provoke James, hating to have to force James to fight with him without stopping, James was also very angry, but he knew that it was stupid to be banned because of such a thing, so James, who has high emotional intelligence, ignored it.

In last year's playoffs, the burden of provoking James fell to Bill Lance Stephenson, who was not as savage as Granger and adopted a more vulgar way of blowing stink on James's ears with his mouth.

Now, Granger and Lance are no longer with the Pacers. It seems that this villain is only capable of David West, coupled with West's various grievances with Xie Chen before, which led to the occurrence of this situation.

Maybe Xie Chen was mentally prepared. But there is no physical preparation, no one who is provoked and maliciously hurt by the other party one after another, it is impossible to calm down in a short time, fortunately, Xie Chen's bad feelings will not affect his shooting rate, but mistakes are inevitable.

After clashing with David West, Xie Chen made two passing errors in a row. The more he made mistakes, the more impatient Xie Chen became!

This time the pass was wrong. It was cut off by Paul George, and after George made a successful steal, he immediately started to attack quickly, and Xie Chen was obviously angry. Definitely chasing the big hat to try to salvage the situation, and then, the two superstars slowly approached the Pacers' basket one after the other.

Because Paul George took the first step, he had an absolute lead, and according to the past situation, with the distance of the two, Paul George must have accelerated all the way to the basket, and then ended with a dunk.

But. After realizing that Xie Chen was chasing after him ferociously, the closer he got to the basket, the slower his speed became. This made Xie Chen also puzzled for a while, it stands to reason that the closer he gets to the basket, the faster he should be.

Xie Chen didn't have time to figure out Paul George's inner thoughts at this time, and ran all the way to chase after Paul George. Xie Chen followed from behind and jumped up to use Griffin's block skill. If you can cover it, you can cover it, and if you can't cover it, forget it, but the result is not what Xie Chen expected.

Because when Xie Chen caught up, Paul George hadn't jumped yet, and he hadn't made a move yet.

Then, Xie Chen's speed also slowed down, only to see Paul George waiting for Xie Chen to chase after him, and then made a shooting feint with both hands, but Xie Chen was not fooled, just stood on tiptoe slightly, George has a height advantage over Xie Chen, Xie Chen can't jump rashly, but even so, George, who has the advantage, seems to be out of shape at all, and once again he wants to make a foul, but he didn't succeed again, and he really smashed the board and shot the basket for the third time.

After George made a shot, Xie Chen immediately used Stephenson's rebounding skills to jump hard, held the rebound firmly on George, and then quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

This scene made the scene, and the coaches and players on both sides sighed.

Such a situation is absolutely rare, if it is the previous George, not to mention that it is Xie Chen who is chasing behind him, even if it is LeBron James, George must be a fearless and vigorous dunk, George has absolutely no reason to be afraid of Xie Chen, his move proves a very important thing, that is, although his injury is healed, the shadow in his heart has not been lifted!

Seeing this scene, Coach Spo held his chin and frowned: "That's the position, it's in that position, Paul George suffered a horrific broken leg, and his right calf was fractured at 90 degrees!" Not to mention him, even myself, every time I see it, I will still be shocked, the reason why he slowed down and did not dare to rush to the basket quickly was because he was afraid that Xie's block would lead him to an unexpected fall again, when he was tortured for a whole season because of defending James Harden, and his defense in this game was obviously scrupulous, but he didn't expect that even the offense was affected...... This may be our Heat's chance! ”

Coach Spo was already full of confidence, and after seeing that the Pacers' star was still in his heart, he was even more sure that this series would definitely be won, and he even questioned Frank's choice, or this was the illusion created by Frank, yes, Paul George's scoring ability is very good, but in the fierce playoffs, if George has been this mentality of not daring to play, it will not help the Pacers at all, and the longer Frank lets George play, the more it will drag down the team overall.

Coach Frank's heart has been beating, seeing the scene just now, Frank also recalled the painful picture of Paul George's injury, fortunately Paul George took a conservative approach, but once conservative, it means ...... Fail!

Xie Chen, who is good at observing people's psychology, also realized the opponent's weakness, so the next attack, Xie Chen directly handed the ball to Luo Er Deng's hands, and Luo Er Deng singled Paul George!

Everyone pulled away and watched Xie Chen's carefully crafted duel between the two!

Rohr Deng has now increased to 105 kilograms, and Paul George, like him, weighs only 95 kilograms!

Rohrdeng held the ball and stared at Paul George, like a steppe wolf ready to attack.

Rohrdeng has an absolute advantage in physical confrontation. And he is a guy who likes to bully people, as long as he encounters a Caucasian player who is not as heavy as him, he will hit the opponent with all his heart. If you don't look at the basket, when you knock someone away and when you go to the basket.

And Xie Chen's intention of passing the ball to him, Luo Erdeng also understood it.

Paul George, who stretched out his hand and put a hand in front of Rohr Deng's eyes, swallowed his saliva, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Suddenly, like lightning and thunder, Luo Erdeng suddenly attacked. Before he could dribble, he slammed into Paul George, who was defeated. The right leg took a step back, but still resisted, and then Rohrdeng turned around and turned his back to Paul George. Constantly squeezing Paul George with his body, forcing the other side to retreat, Luo Er Deng continued to roll George with his body, trying all kinds of ways to consume George and fight against him, and finally, Luo Er Deng shot, George reached out to block, was whistled for a foul, and Luo Er Deng made two free throws.

The Pacers were silent.

Paul George gasped. Defending Rohrdeng is a tough task, even if Paul George was named to the All-Defensive Team, and Rohrdeng has been floating around the perimeter to shoot the basketball. With Paul George's defense and Luo Er Deng's unstable mid-range shot, he has always been able to control the opponent very well, but now Luo Er Deng has changed his style of play, that is, he uses his body to constantly consume and fight against George, which is extremely lethal to George!

Luo Erdeng hit both free throws, and the Heat were already leading by almost ten points. The Pacers are starting to get a little anxious.

Fortunately, the Pacers are also a team with a lot of playoff experience and did not mess up all of a sudden. gradually chased the score to only 4 points, and just when the momentum was at its peak and ready to tie the score in one fell swoop, Wade stood up again!

After CJ Myers received the ball outside the three-point line, he made a false shake and tricked Wade into jumping, but because the experienced Wade didn't really want to block, he just jumped to scare the opponent, and if he really shot, he let the opponent shoot, so Wade fell quickly, and when CJ Myers turned to a breakthrough layup, Wade took advantage of the victory from behind to chase, split his head and face with a big hat, and directly fanned Myers's basketball out!

The scene was boiling! Wade seems to be using this block to sue his opponent, trying to catch up, no way!

And Wade's block performance is far from over, two minutes later, CJ Myers received the ball at the top of the arc with only five seconds left in the offensive time, and was about to shoot three points, Wade, who was chasing him, jumped down and covered the basketball with one hand, CJ Myers was still unwilling after being covered, and the whole person rushed forward to try to save the basketball, but Wade ruthlessly took the basketball away, and then, a dragon dunk success!

When Xie Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh: "The Flash is really back, in the past, even if there is no defender, he will make a layup, not a dunk, he is really fine!" ”

CJ Miles, who was completely crushed, looked melancholy, and scolded in his heart, didn't he say that this guy's peak had passed? Why is it still so difficult to deal with!

In this way, the Heat relied on Xie Chen's outburst at the beginning, Luo Er Deng's singles, Wade's excellent defense and steady scoring in the third quarter, and finally overtook the opponent, and at the end of the third quarter, the Heat led the Pacers by eight points.

Coach Frank of the Pacers has been cheering on his players, saying that it's not time to score a win or lose yet, and we still have a chance, but it was clear that the Pacers players were a little depressed, especially Paul George, who looked extremely tired.

Frank had already decided to let George play late in the fourth quarter. Then, Luis Scola helped the team at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he frequently made fouls on the inside, and hit the mid-range shot repeatedly, constantly chasing the score, which once made Xie Chen, who was sitting on the court, restless, trying to stop the opponent as much as possible.

However, fortunately, with Wade on the court to stabilize the situation, the Flash really returned, he didn't just break out in one or two quarters, his outburst was from beginning to end, in the case of Luis Scola constantly chasing points, Wade used points again and again to give the opponent a counterattack, and when Xie Chen played, Wade had already scored 37 points alone.

Xie Chen couldn't help but sigh, Wade is going to 40+ today, and he will get 40+ in the first playoff game, is this to announce the official return of the Flash to all playoff teams? Xie Chen guessed that after James saw it, his mood must have been complicated, because he didn't want to have another strong opponent, and this opponent happened to be his brother.

In the end, in the face of the strong strength of the main forces of the Heat, the Pacers finally lost, and in the first game, they lost to the Heat on the road.

In this game, Wade scored the highest score of the team of 41 points, and Xie Chen's two doubles were 30+10, although this result was quite good for a rookie who participated in the playoffs for the first time, but in the eyes of most people, this number was very common, maybe everyone was used to Xie Chen's super play.

In terms of the Heat, in addition to Wade and Xie Chen, the starting center Hassan Whiteside, who is also in the middle of the rules and has high hopes for Rohr Deng, also played abnormally in this game, whether it is in the protection of rebounds or the number of blocks, which is much lower than the average per game, and there is no achievement in scoring.

In the Pacers, although Paul George scored a team-high 31 points, he also had 6 turnovers, and many things are not reflected, Xie Chen's opponent George Hill had a good table today, scoring 24 points and 5 assists. This also made Xie Chen feel very unacceptable.

The first game of the series ended like this, maybe because of the first game, everyone didn't care about the outcome of the game, at least the Pacers didn't lose confidence because they lost this game, the series is still long, and they still have a chance.

After the game, Coach Spo held a meeting for everyone, pointing out that everyone's performance in the first game, especially the mistakes, although Spo did not criticize Xie Chen, but Xie Chen had already begun to self-examine.

He was still nervous in the first game of the playoffs, and he shouldn't be affected by David West, he didn't do a good enough job in shooting selection and passing selection.

Xie Chen vowed to learn this lesson, and in the next game, he must play at the level of MVP!

In addition, among the other games played today, the first game of the Cleveland Cavaliers series beat the Celtics, James scored a triple-double, Irving scored the highest points on the team, Love grabbed the highest rebound in the game, and the Celtics were powerless to resist the Big Three, it is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers never fell behind from the beginning and led the score from beginning to end.

In the West, the Grizzlies won their first game against the Trail Blazers, even though Aldridge scored 35+15.

The most exciting thing is the battle between the Clippers and the Spurs, the Clippers narrowly beat the Spurs at home, and Jordan Jr. made 14 free throws this time, because Popovich adopted a long-lost "shark slashing tactic" in the game! (To be continued) R580
