As soon as he thought of breaking the record, Xie Chen couldn't help but be excited, the single-game scoring record was going to be broken sooner or later, because Xie Chen had already done it in the Legend Challenge, so he had absolute confidence, but the single-game steal record, he had never thought of it before.

Like the current steal masters in the league, Chris Paul, Wade, and Leonard's highest steals in a single game are only 9, 8 and 7, all of which have never approached the highest record of 11, and their steal ability is good enough, Xie Chen does not have better physical talent than Leonard, and his ability is also Chris Paul's, so what they can't do, conventionally, Xie Chen is also difficult to do, so Xie Chen must use some strategies, such as using Noah's slow half-beat reaction to brush up on steals like just now.

Noah has been used twice in a row, I believe that no matter how stupid he is, he will not be able to continue to be fooled, and if he throws the ball into his arms next time, he will definitely hold on to it to prevent Xie Chen from having a chance to cut it again, but it doesn't matter, there is still time in the game, Xie Chen can slowly find opportunities, and if he is lucky, he may be able to easily harvest the remaining five steals without stratagem.

There is a place where steals are very easy to occur at the top of the arc, especially when the opponent has just started to attack, the players have just fallen into position, everyone's speed is very slow, the speed of the ball transfer is also very slow, and it is very easy to judge, especially when the players standing at the top of the arc and the players on the left and right sides pass the ball, it is especially easy to steal, Xie Chen has been waiting for the opportunity, and after a few minutes, he completed another steal, and then assisted to throw a three-point for Ray Allen.

Eight steals, has tied the half-time steal record, Xie Chen only needs to break three more times to be the same as the highest number of steals in a single game, if four breaks, it will completely break the record that has been in the dust for many years.

At halftime. The Knicks led the Bulls by 12 points, and in the Bulls locker room, Rose asked the assistant coach: "Xie seems to have made a lot of steals in the first half, what are his steal statistics?" ”

"Eight times." The teaching assistant replied.

Rose was shocked: "It was broken by 8 goals in the half, this kid may want to break the record tonight." ”

"This guy is definitely trying to break the record!" After hearing this, Noah also hurriedly said: "Otherwise, he would not have passed the ball to me." Carmelo Anthony too, although assists are not Anthony's forte. But it won't be biased in my face, right? This guy is so desperate to break the record, we have to stop him! ”

Jimmy Butler also nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we must stop him from breaking the record, in the second half we have to be more cautious when passing the ball, Xie will always lie in ambush, waiting to intercept our pass, he has a clear understanding of our offensive routines, so he can always predict accurately in advance." Also, be careful when defending. Maybe he'll do it again, throwing the ball at us first and then breaking it, and as everyone knows, he's been able to do anything since his debut. ”

The players discussed ways to deal with Xie Chen, but head coach Hojberg shook his head with a smile, for him, as long as Xie Chen is no longer so crazy about BT's scores, if Xie Chen wants to break the record, let him break it. In fact, Hojberg has no other way, it can't be that the Bulls don't attack, don't pass, and don't cooperate, right?

"Shea has been broken eight times. There's still half-time, three or four times for him to be easy, so if you don't want him to break the record on your head, you have to keep your spirits up and don't make mistakes, and if he wants to use other messy methods, we'll have to resign ourselves to it. ”

"Coach!" Jimmy Butler disagrees with Hoiberg's laissez-faire attitude.

Hojberg thinks he's respected Jimmy Butler enough. He patted Jimmy Butler on the shoulder and said, "We can stop scoring, so let's leave steals to fate, and this record has stood to this day for 40 years since Larry Kennon made 11 steals in 1976." Chris Paul was so close to this record that I predicted it would be broken in the near future, and it seems that it could be today! ”

Before the start of the second half, the atmosphere at home was very different, everyone could see that Xie Chen's pursuit tonight was not a score, but another statistic, steals, Xie Chen was destined to break various records in the NBA, and tonight, they will have the honor to witness the birth of a great record.

"So you can't miss any of the games, otherwise you may regret it for the rest of your life." A white man with white hair said to a friend beside him.

That's why Xie Chen is the All-Star Ticket King for two consecutive years, and that's why people all over the world like to watch Xie Chen play so much.

For Xie Chen, the situation is even more difficult now, even the fans know that Xie Chen wants to break the steal record, not to mention those shrewd opponents, once the opponent knows Xie Chen's thoughts, he will be careful everywhere, and the steal will become difficult, Xie Chen does not have high requirements for the steal in the third quarter, there are two on the line, preferably three times, and only one more break in the fourth quarter is enough.

However, it wasn't until he got on the court that he knew how difficult it was to get the ball out of the hands of the Bulls players right now!

First of all, in the face of the opponent's dribbling, it was too difficult for Xie Chen to cut off the opponent's ball head-on.

"Xie doesn't have the physical talent of Leonard, if it were Leonard, with his death-winding defense and long arms, it would not be a problem to break a dribble like D-WADE one-on-one, let alone the Bulls."

Some fans saw that Xie Chen was struggling to break the ball, and they couldn't help but worry about him.

Since it is difficult to break when the opponent dribbles, he can only break the pass, as long as the Bulls move the ball offensively, Xie Chen has a chance to complete the steal.

Jimmy Butler dribbled at the top of the arc, his eyes wandering, as if he didn't know what to do next, and then, he saw Rose on the right, turned around, and then made a pass to him.

Xie Chen found that this was a good opportunity, and rushed over without hesitation, but he didn't expect Jimmy Butler to pass the ball at all, but deliberately shook it, and waited for Xie Chen to lose his defensive position before passing the ball out, and Rose immediately made a successful shot.

Jimmy Butler laughed at Xie Chen: "Haha, have you been deceived?" I knew you wanted to break the single-game steal record. Of course, you can do it, I believe in your ability, but at the expense of winning this game! I've got you! ”

Xie Chen felt pressured, and he didn't want to complete the steal because he wanted to. He is not a selfish person who blindly gambles on defense and allows the opponent to have open opportunities and lose the game, and he is not willing to make his team-mates' efforts worthless because of him, which is not the performance of a leader.

Therefore, Xie Chen did not defend like this gambling in the future, and this was also what Jimmy Butler expected, so Xie Chen could not break the record.

The third quarter was quickly halfway through. Xie Chen's steals are still stuck at 8!

Xie Chen began to feel a little anxious in his heart: "Damn, the Bulls played so focused in this section, I didn't have a chance to break the ball at all, but the fusion point is too important to me, since they don't give me a chance, I can only create opportunities by myself." ”

Xie Chen set his sights on Noah again.

Xie Chen still wanted to use Noah, but there was no way. Although Noah has been played twice in a row, Noah is compared to others. It's still a little more stupid, as long as you break him in another way, it is estimated that he will still be fooled, especially when the ball reaches him, and he can't be allowed to think too much at that moment.

Xie Chen was planning to deliberately make a mistake in dribbling when attacking. Let the ball hit Noah, let Noah get the ball, and then break it from his hand as soon as possible, of course, this requires a lot of skill. The position of the ball rebound should be very accurate, especially the strength, not too light, height, not too low, otherwise it will be taken away directly by Noah, and when deliberately losing the ball, you should pay attention to Noah and not let him be alert in advance.

Xie Chen said to do it, next time, he deliberately broke through to the vicinity of Noah, and then dribbled, the ball hit his thigh and then quickly bounced up, which happened to be Noah's position.

Seeing Xie Chen's mistake in dribbling, Noah also highly concentrated, instinctively reacted to see the basketball and went over to grab it, and raised his hands in a daze to get the ball, Xie Chen also followed, did not go with Noah to grab the ball, and was ready to cut it all after Noah got the ball, if Noah didn't get it first, it wouldn't be considered a steal.

Everything was under Xie Chen's control, Noah only had basketball in his eyes, he didn't realize Xie Chen's existence at all, and he didn't expect the tragedy to happen again.

However, Jimmy Butler saw through all this, he saw Xie Chen's conspiracy at a glance, and knew that Xie Chen was 100% deliberately luring Noah to the bait, Jimmy Butler was very angry, can you not catch a person in the pit!

"This idiot!" Jimmy Butler saw that Noah was going to reach the ball, as long as Noah got it, he would be quickly cut off by Xie Chen, Jimmy Butler didn't want Xie Chen to have any more steal data, so, in a hurry, he pushed Noah to the ground from behind!

Noah rolled to the floor with the ball.

Xie Chen, who was about to break the ball, was dumbfounded, is this a pro-teammate? That's too ruthless, isn't it?

Noah was so angry that he didn't know who pushed him, but with the strength of his shot, he didn't have to guess that he was a member of the Knicks' team, he got up and yelled: "FU1CK!" Who the hell pushed me at TMD! ”

No one on the Knicks paid any attention to him.

Jimmy Butler hurriedly rushed forward to help him and persuaded, "Forget it." ”

Is Noah the Lord who has been bullied and suffered? yelled at the Knicks players: "Which XXXX bastard pushed me?" Isn't it a man? Kind of stand up for me! ”

Immediately, he also asked the referee: "Are you blind?" Such an obvious foul didn't even blow? ”

The Knicks' players couldn't laugh enough, but before they could tell the truth, it was his good teammate Jimmy Butler who pushed him, so he continued to scold, and the more he scolded, the more cool they became.

Jimmy Butler had no choice but to confess: "I pushed you just now." ”

Noah was stunned: "What? You...... Why? ”

Jimmy Butler didn't want to explain, so he walked away alone, glaring at Xie Chen with very resentful eyes before leaving, although Xie Chen couldn't break the ball, but he was also very happy to see such an interesting thing happening between opponents.

"Jimmy Butler is such a good leader, he's getting more and more like me, haha."

After that, Noah has been sullen, he has a good relationship with Rose, and he is the boss of Rose, but there is no way, Jimmy Butler is the trend of the times, and he can only support it, but Jimmy Butler treated him like this, which really made him too uncomfortable, and the coach saw that he had no defense on the field and was unwilling to attack, so he replaced him not long after.

Xie Chen only completed one steal in the third quarter, 9 steals tied Chris Paul's record, and there was only time left in the last quarter, and it was not surprising that Xie Chen scored 30 points in one quarter, but it was too difficult to complete three steals, especially when the Bulls were so cautious.

"Hey, it seems that there is no hope of breaking the record tonight, the Bulls are too cautious in passing, Xie Chen only happened to break once in the entire third quarter, I think it is rare for him to tie the record of 11 steals, let alone break this record."

"You're right, there's a reason why this record has been held for 40 years, maybe sometimes you can break several in a row, but you can't have such opportunities for the whole game, especially in the most critical fourth quarter, the Bulls can't give you the opportunity to break the ball in a row, maybe Xie can find a weak opponent to break this record in the future."

Everyone is not optimistic that Xie Chen can face the Bulls to break the 40-year record of no one regretting, but Xie Chen doesn't want to wait any longer, he wants to do it all tonight!

In fact, he has always had a savage steal method that is useless, and that is to use Malone's fighting ability to break the ball! This is likely to result in a defensive foul, but now there is no way to do it, even if there is a possibility of a foul, the ball will be broken!

Because Rose was plagued by fouls, Aaron Brooks, who was less than 1.8 meters long, became the point guard on the court, although Brooks was short in stature, but his playing style was very mature, and he did not panic after receiving the ball, and calmly held the ball in both hands in place.

Xie Chen came to Brooks and said, "I heard that you knelt when I finished the crotch dunk. You must be afraid of me, aren't you? ”

Xie Chen pretended to be terrifying.

Brooks laughed: "If you want to scare me in this way, and then snatch the ball from my hand, you are too naïve, I am shocked by your ability, but on the field, I am not afraid of anyone, I know you want to break my ball, come on, the ball is here, you come and grab it!" ”

"Okay." Xie Chen answered, grabbed it directly with both hands, and Brooks dodged back, completely unexpectedly that Xie Chen really grabbed it so hard.

Then, Xie Chen snatched the ball from Brooks' hand.

Everyone was stunned.

"This ...... This is even more domineering than the ball that Leonard grabbed Montaellis! (To be continued.) )
