Chapter 251: The Scoring King Returns!
This will definitely become one of the top ten goals in the playoffs this season, fans can't help but think of Adams's "god-level assist" in the regular season, this time, it became George Hill's head that assisted Xie Chen, although it should hurt more to hit the key point, but only in terms of strength, it is obviously stronger this time, because Xie Chen used Griffin's power when blocking!
George Hill watched Xie Chen perform a fancy dunk helplessly, touched his head, it was still a little painful, and scolded a hundred times in his heart, I don't understand how this guy's slap is so strong!
George Hill hasn't realized the arrival of the crisis, and thought that this ball was just his own momentary negligence, and the next offense, Hill was locked up by Xie Chen alone, just like a desperate person, there is no way to break through, there is no way to score, there is no way to connect teammates, the only choice is to pass the ball out, and even if the ball is passed out without the ball, it will be pasted by Xie Chen and unable to breathe, George Hill deeply feels the tenacity of this junior and young man. ββTop Novel,www.
"Use all your strength to prevent me, I don't think you will have the strength to attack!" George Hill was guarded by Xie Chen with a sense of suffocation, once he got the ball, Xie Chen would be engrossed, his eyes would stare at him like staring at the enemy, and the defense was very strong, he was not afraid of physical confrontation at all, no matter how George Hill changed direction, Xie Chen would move sideways to keep up with him as soon as possible, just not letting Hill take a step forward.
George Hill was blocked by Xie Chen, and the ball passed more to Paul George's hands, and Luo Er Deng, who defended Paul George, was also desperate, in fact, Luo Er Deng's most important task was to fight Paul George, constantly consume Paul George, to make Paul George feel uncomfortable in every round, and let this uncomfortable feeling run through the whole court.
Paul George played well in the last game, scoring 30+ in the first start of the playoffs, and part of the reason for the high scoring was that Rohr Deng gave Paul George a lot of outside shooting opportunities. Paul George barely took the ball comfortably today, let alone shot in the open position, and hit all the shots in the middle of the game.
Compared with Paul George, the Heat's star Xie Chen finally showed his true strength.
The Pacers always let George Hill defend Xie Chen alone, unless Xie Chen breaks through to a deeper position and says it is defense. It's better to say that it's a pestering, or a stalking with foul actions from time to time, especially when Xie Chen just received the ball or just stopped when he held the ball, Hill would always interfere with it with his long arms first, sometimes directly on Xie Chen's face, and then slowly take a step back to defend.
Since Hill left one step to defend, he couldn't blame Xie Chen for shooting the opponent directly, with Stephen Curry's demonic three-point shooting ability, it is understandable that he missed once. With so little defensive pressure on two or three occasions, the probability of missing a shot is too low.
Xie Chen shot three points for the first time, didn't do anything, jumped up and shot directly, Hill was obviously a little surprised, I didn't expect Xie Chen to shoot like this, this is not a regular season, you can shoot whatever you want. Every shot in the playoffs is precious.
"Entered?" Seeing the basketball hollow into the net, Hill shook his head helplessly. Xie Chen's speed was too fast, even if Xie Chen was right in front of him, even if Hill's long arm length was amazing, Hill still couldn't stop him.
Of course, the opponent will not make any changes because of Xie Chen's three-point shot, at most he will pay more attention to Xie Chen's long-range shot, but Xie Chen's shooting speed is too fast. Unless you prepare in advance, otherwise, you can't stop Xie Chen by relying on improvisation, and the second time, Xie Chen is in front of Hill's eyes again. A tentative step, a direct three-point shot, and then a hit!
Hill was a little anxious, he was so guarded by Xie Chen that he couldn't score points, but in turn, Xie Chen scored frequently, these two three-point shots were suddenly made in place, Hill secretly blamed himself for caring too much about Xie Chen's breakthrough, and he should stick closer.
Then, Hill changed his defensive strategy slightly, entertaining Xie Chen with Xie Chen's defensive way, trying to make Xie Chen unable to breathe, and there was no chance to shoot at all, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to squeeze Hill's defense without hesitation, and step into the three-point line, Hill had to retreat quickly, but Hill just retreated to the three-point line, but Xie Chen returned to the three-point line again, and then, shot a three-point shot, and hit again!
Xie Chen hit three three-pointers in a row! The Heat overtook by two points! Coach Frank quickly called a timeout.
"Yay! That's the strength of the regular season three-point king! Xie's three points are finally open! β
"I guess if he shoots like this, he has a good chance of breaking the playoff three-point record with Stephen Curry, haha, there are so many records to break this season, it's a great season!"
James Owen and the others also looked at each other, Dellavedova was also shocked, and said how could this guy be so capable, James asked Owen at this time: "If it were you, Xie shot three three-pointers in a row in front of you, what would you do?" β
Kelly Irving thought for a moment and replied: "I won't be intimidated by his three-point shot, I will still defend according to the original defensive strategy, even if he is the three-point king, he can't shoot every time, if he insists on shooting three-pointers, I will make it difficult for him to shoot every time." β
James nodded: "He's taller than you, and he's different from Stephen Curry in that his ability to score under the basket is not inferior to his three-point strength, so defending him is an extremely difficult task for you." As for the Pacers, there is no one who can restrain Xie, and once Xie's form recovers, the Pacers will be in trouble. β
Dellavedova smiled: "Fortunately, his breakthrough is not fast, I see that he sometimes squeezes the other party with his body, hehe, Kelly Owen and I will not let him break through like this." β
As predicted by James, even if the Pacers called a timeout, if they wanted to limit Xie Chen, who was firing with all his might, they did not have this ability, and after the pause, Xie Chen did no longer try three-point shooting, but switched to low-post offense, or one-on-one defense, George Hill's height disadvantage was exposed, and in such a close position facing the basket, with the public's perception of Xie Chen's shooting ability, Xie Chen's success rate will only be higher!
Xie Chen holds the ball with his back to George Hill, this guy is inferior to himself in height and weight, and the only advantage is the length of his arm, but once Xie Chen uses Kobe's backward jump shooting skills, no matter how long this guy's arm is, don't want to interfere with Xie Chen's shooting in the slightest. Before he could start the attack, Xie Chen seemed to have tasted the sweetness of victory and laughed.
Xie Chen's pride was not arrogance, but a correct prediction of the enemy and me, Xie Chen hit George Hill with his back, and then instantly turned on Kobe Bryant's skills. turned around and threw a backward jumper, George Hill stretched out his long arm to interfere, but the two of them, feeling that one was in the sky and the other was on the ground, Hill couldn't interfere with Xie Chen's shooting at all, and Xie Chen easily hit a jump shot!
"Although the 36-year-old Kobe Bryant's backward jump shot rate is not high, with this absolute height advantage, the shooting percentage should be 70% or even more than 80%."
Xie Chen is very confident in Kobe's skill. Because usually when Xie Chen uses this trick to deal with Chalmers, the hit rate has been tested, as long as the Pacers are still defended by George Hill alone, then Xie Chen will use this trick to completely blow up the opponent!
Then, Xie Chen used the same move in the same position to hit George Hill again.
Xie Chen has already shown his cards, and the next thing is to see how the Pacers defend themselves and whether they want to be clamped. Or substitution defense? If it's a substitution defense, it's to pull CJ Myers, who is defending Wade, over. Or replace George Hill for Solomon Hill?
George Hill played well in the last game and could not be replaced by a light yì, and defending Wade, George Hill still has to face a height disadvantage, and. In Frank's eyes, Wade's ability to play in the low post is stronger than Xie Chen's, and the Pacers can only take the appropriate bag.
Don't forget that Xie Chen is a PG, and his passing and assist ability is also very strong, and he is very good at attracting the package defense. Then pass the ball to the right place.
Xie Chen not only opened up in scoring, but also had the demeanor of "steal king" in defensive steals, Xie Chen successfully steals twice in this quarter, and all of them were converted into points after the steals, one of which also made Hill foul and played a 2+1!
After scoring this free throw, Xie Chen's score in this quarter has reached 20 points.
"Hahaha, that's great! Xie completely exploded! He scored 20 points in a single quarter! The last D-WADE was 40+, is this Xie also going to be 40+? β
"Not to mention over 40, according to this trend, it is not impossible to break his personal scoring record! Of course, it doesn't matter how many points you score, the important thing is that the Xie we are familiar with is finally back! β
Xie Chen used 20 points in a single quarter to tell everyone, the scoring champion in the regular season is back! As long as he wants to score, no one can stop him!
After the end of the first quarter, looking at the disparity of 33-20, James patted Irving and Love on the shoulders one after another, and said, "I'm back in the room." β
Owen was curious: "It's only been a section, don't you continue to watch?" β
James replied: "Xie is completely outbursting, the outcome of this game is already obvious, and with his form tonight, the Pacers are unlikely to win." β
With that, James left, and Love himself was not interested in the Heat-Pacers game, and then left with a smile.
Is it really as James predicted, will it become unsuspenseful because of Xie Chen's outburst? I'm afraid the whole Pacers won't share that view, especially David West.
"Hmph, it broke out, didn't it? I seemed to see the guy who scored 38 points in a single quarter on our heads again, and I swore after that night that I would never let you score so lightly again, and I would never let you humiliate me with such crazy scores again! In order to stop you, I will not hesitate to do anything! β
David West's fierce gaze clenched his fists, the strong muscles and terrifying tattoos were intimidating.
The last thing Frank wants to see is this result happening, he must not let Xie Chen play a supergod state, and he must not be defeated by Xie Chen alone!
"Don't pin your hopes on his shooting percentage, take the initiative, don't think that he has scored enough points, he is a guy who has scored more than 60 points in a single game, don't let him receive the ball lightly, don't let him have an easy chance to shoot, don't let him get too close to the basket, when he is close to the basket, you have to have a sense of crisis! Don't give him a chance to steal, when he's the first to step out of the halfway line, no one can stop him from scoring! β
Frank said a lot of don'ts, and in the end, even he felt that it was too much, how could he limit his opponent in every way? And how can this opponent be a threat in every way?
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wade played with the substitutes, Wade's state tonight actually didn't look as good as the last game, but in fact it was about the same, it can be seen from these few shots that it was very stable, and before these shots, it was a series of dazzling getaway actions, which even Xie Chen had to learn.
The Pacers wanted to catch up with the score during the time when Xie Chen was not playing, but Wade did not agree, Scola turned around with a beautiful back in a row and then threw a layup, but he didn't expect Wade to suddenly kill, fly a big hat and fan out, the actor Scola fell down and thought he could cheat a foul, but this neat block made the referee look at it, and he didn't pay attention to Scola's hard performance.
Then, Wade was involved in the fast break himself, and his feet looked very brisk and unburdened, and with his experience of playing, he could easily convert to scoring even if he didn't get as high as before.
When Xie Chen came on the court, the Heat had maintained a 15-point lead, and the Pacers, who couldn't catch up with the score, were obviously a little anxious, especially David West.
David West glanced at Xie Chen from behind and said with a dark smile: "I only have one foul. β
David West doesn't mind using some foul moves next, it's better to provoke this playoff rookie, once Xie Chenqing is affected, can't play at the level he should have, and keeps making mistakes like in the last game, that's a good chance for the Pacers to fight back!
George Hill was defended by Xie Chen in the first quarter, except for the goal at the beginning, there was no chance to score after that, and he also thought that he had to open the situation to help the team, so he broke through more resolutely.
George Hill took Xie Chen back and forth in circles, and on this crooked road, it was inevitable that his walker companions would block Xie Chen's path for him.
I saw George Hill bypassing David West, and Xie Chen hurriedly followed, as soon as he approached David West, Xie Chen was already mentally prepared, because every time the two had physical contact, David West might take the opportunity to maliciously hurt himself!
Sure enough, David West, who was in a hurry, finally made a ruthless move!
Seeing that Xie Chen was about to chase after George Hill, David West slammed into Xie Chen again with his shoulder after taking cover, and Xie Chen fell to the ground on the spot!
The referee blew the whistle immediately! Gave David West a technical foul!
And the most worrying thing for everyone is that after Xie Chen fell to the ground, he actually lay on the spot and didn't move!
Irving in Boston and thousands of people at the American Airlines Arena were shocked at the same time: "Is Xie ...... by David West?" Hurt? (To be continued......) R527
