Chapter 309: The Great Showdown!
Iguodala is really drunk, the pre-game conversation is enough to misunderstand outsiders, this is good, you press me for a while, I press you for a while, why can't you part when you meet!
Iguodala teased and ridiculed, he knew that Curry and Xie Chen were absolutely done, for a whole season, how much influence Xie Chen had on Curry's feelings, Iguodala as a teammate knew best, meeting on the stage of the finals, even if Curry fought to the death, he would stop Xie Chen, but Xie Chen's appearance was on par with James, and Iguodala was worried that Curry would be injured because of this.
Iguodala was a good kid and an important piece of the puzzle on the Golden State Warriors' path to the championship, and when he was a kid, his favorite team was the famous Michigan Five Tigers, the same worn-out Jalen Rose's Michigan jersey that he wore for years.
He'll emulate Michael Jordan's step-back jumper like every basketball-loving teenager of the '90s, but the player Iguodala wants to be the most is Pippen.
Iguodala is a player that every player of the Warriors respects very much, including the star Curry, who has always regarded Iguodala as a big brother, Curry can see Iguodala's concern about his state, and nodded at him when he got up, reassuring him.
The Warriors quickly got into the groove, first Bogut forced Hassan to score on the inside, and then it was a classic teamwork, with two quick passes on the outside, called hockey-style assists, and finally fell into the open corner to score, and the scene followed into cheers of excitement as the team scored one after another.
Lacob and Pitt bought the Warriors for $450 million five years ago, when the team had a 25-56 record and lost for the 14th time in 16 years, with a roster full of development league players.
Now, five years later, the Warriors have sold out more than 100 consecutive games. The league's record is the first, the league's offensive and defensive efficiency leader, the team's core Splash Brothers are young and talented, the coaching staff is scheming, and the boss cares about the team.
In just five years, the Warriors have gone from being a laughing stock to fans. Become one of the best teams in the sports league! And in five years, Golden State hasn't gotten a pick above the sixth pick, and I really don't know how they did it! Coach Spo looked at this talented opponent and looked at the fanatical fans at the scene, and couldn't help but sigh.
Five years is also the time when Coach Spo coaches the Heat! He looked at the head of the sect across from him with his hands crossed, the scrawny brown-haired guy, Cole, had to admit it. This guy does outperform himself in some ways.
However, Xie Chen on the field quickly returned to color, Xie Chen held the ball with his right hand most of the time, which shows that his right arm has improved significantly, of course, everyone knows what kind of recovery fΓΉ will be.
Facing Curry, Xie Chen wants to attack. The hope was particularly strong, and he suddenly remembered the first scene he faced Curry after getting the system, at that time, Xie Chen had not used the system's ability. He was very nervous about facing Curry, when he copied Curry's abilities. When he hit the first shot, he was so excited.
"Facing the Warriors, facing Curry, was the beginning of my brilliant life, and at the end of this season, I didn't expect him to be the same. Curry and I really have a relationship. β
Xie Chen smiled lightly, which made Curry suspicious, who knows, Xie Chen jumped up and projected directly! Pointers! No feints!
Curry reached for the cover, and he was a beat slower. He was also too short, so he didn't interfere with Xie Chen's shot in the slightest, and when he turned around, he looked at the familiar arc, and when the ball didn't reach the basket, Curry burst into a foul mouth in his heart, Curry knew that the ball would go in, because Curry had shot countless such goals.
Bang, the basketball hollow into the net!
Xie Chen's playoff three-point shooting record reached 74!
......Seeing that Xie Chen had shot three points, and was still shooting in Curry's signature shooting posture with the Warriors' star Curry, the Warriors fans at the scene couldn't help but boo, and Miss Chen Yihan laughed and clapped: "How did he do it?" It's exactly the same as Curry's pose! β
Now Xie Chen's game is actually getting slower and slower, especially after falling behind the Cavaliers 0:3, I talked to Jordan, Jordan said that Xie Chen should have more trust in his teammates, so Xie Chen became more rational in playing, but no one expected that after Xie Chen shot this three-point shot, he didn't say a word, and he quickly threw off Curry, and then quickly shot three points!
Again!
"Damn it!" Curry sealed it on his face, but he was still thrown in by Xie Chen!
After shooting this goal, Xie Chen made a shrug motion, which was good, the whole audience exploded, and everyone scolded Xie Chen angrily, and the boos were even louder.
"This arrogant fellow! I actually did this action! At the beginning, when he broke Curry's three-point record, he did this celebration, and now he dares to be so presumptuous in front of Curry, on our home court! β
"He's a naked provocation to Stephen! After shooting this goal, Shea's playoff three-point tally is also 75, and they are now on the same starting line! β
Even Zhang Weiping couldn't help but worry: "Now Xie Chen has scored 75 three-pointers in the playoffs, just like Curry, it seems that this battle of records has officially begun, let's see who of the two of them shoots more three-pointers in the end, this finals is interesting!" β
In this regard, Curry smiled lightly: "It's time to start a showdown, right?" Okay, good, losing to you in the All-Star Three-Point Contest makes it hard for me to admit that fact, and it must be fun to beat you on the stage of the Finals! I promised myself before that I was not only going to win the championship, but I was going to beat you by three points! Because, a copycat can never be compared to the original! β
Curry also quickly returned the color, he dribbled very fancy, it is rare that he will not lose the ball, plus Xie Chen is injured, and there is less steal threat for Curry, which makes him do whatever he wants, Curry plays quite confidently, facing Xie Chen's butterfly wearing flowers, and stops shooting!
Middle!
76 pcs! Curry overtook Xie Chen again!
"Haha, well done, Stephen! You are the only one in the alliance who can defeat Xie, and you are the only one! β
βMVPοΌ You're the MVP, take out the guy who stole your honor! β
Curry's three-pointer made the atmosphere rise to the climax in an instant. It made Xie Chen feel very stressed.
The matchup between Curry and Xie Chen successfully attracted the audience at the beginning of the game, but after that, other players quickly stepped up to steal the show, and the first to stand up was Xie Chen's teammate, Wade.
Wade also suffered a minor injury in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but returned on the spot. Proving that the injury was not serious, after two days of rest, Wade's condition improved significantly, and it was clear that he was familiar with the stage of the finals and was very excited!
A back-to-back swing shot causes 2+1, a small toss, followed by another toss, and then another. Playing a layup again, Wade's offense is extremely smart, he is older, his body is not as good as before, but his style of play has become smarter and more changeable, so that Klay Thompson, who defends him, has no way to start and is very helpless.
Soon, everyone found out that the Heat were the scoring champion. It's not Xie Chen, it's Wade!
Wade...... This guy. It's still as tough as ever, and the scary thing is that he seems to be so excited about this stage that I can tell in his eyes that he's hungry for a championship or another honor. Thirsty! "Coach Cole gradually felt bad, and it was expected that Xie Chen would play well, but he must not let other players play. Wade's table is something Coach Kerr didn't expect.
Wade scored 12 points in a single quarter, and he didn't look tired at all, his demeanor was obviously different from before, very focused, and only basketball in his eyes.
Wade gasped for a moment in place. Looking at the shape on the field, he said secretly: "The score is very close, this game looks like it will not be decided until the last minute, two away games, we have to win one game, and we can't lose in a row like against the Knights." β
Wade bit off his shirt, and the back of No. 3 was still handsome: "Finals, I'm back again!" After LeBron left last summer, I thought I would never be on this stage again in my life! Many people don't know, and I will never say this, but it has always been engraved in my heart, that is: I was born to belong to the finals! On the stage of the finals, no one will be better than me! No one! β
The 2006 Wade Finals shocked the league with a supernatural battle, and it was also the most commendable part of Wade's career, in fact, Wade had a very amazing performance in the finals every year, and every year, he came to this stage and felt that he was the master here! He had the opportunity to win two FMVP trophies, but unfortunately missed, now this team is a team with Xie Chen as the core, Wade will never regret missing the championship in order to fight for power, but he will spare no effort to express himself, without the slightest reservation to dedicate his strength!
Wade...... So excited. Xie Chen was also taken aback, as a teammate, he didn't find Wade's extraordinary state tonight, of course, he also thought about FMVP, but this idea disappeared after only one second in his mind, whether he won the championship or not, it is still unknown, and thinking about honor is really not what a professional player should do.
Xie Chen and Wade's backcourt combination is powerful, the Warriors' splash brothers are not good-looking, Curry was very excited to meet Xie Chen, so although the shooting rate is average, but he scored a lot of points, plus in front of Xie Chen, all kinds of fancy dribbling and various ball skills have gained a lot of savings, and Klay Thompson is a very low-key person, his expression is still so depressed, as if others owe him money, at the beginning, he repeatedly missed shots, but the feeling slowly got better, until it got better and better, until you fouled, He can throw the ball in too!
"Damn!" Wade has already committed two fouls on Thompson, Thompson has a height advantage in the face of Wade, and Thompson's scoring all comes from jump shots, Wade can't defend at all, if Roel Deng is allowed to defend, then Iguodala will play Wade is a big fight, although Iguodala is not much offensive. The guy who wants to, but when he really fights, he is also a ruthless person who gives people a headache.
Xie Chen has always regarded the Cavaliers as his biggest opponent, so he was relieved to defeat James' Cavaliers, but the Warriors are also an extremely difficult opponent, Curry needless to say, Thompson, once scored 37 points in a single quarter, and no one can prevent it when it feels smooth, Xie Chen has tried to score 38 points in a single quarter, although he did it in the end, but how difficult the process is, Xie Chen is too deeply experienced.
There is also Draymond Green, an interior player of the same age or even the same height as Thompson, and a very versatile player like Xie Chen, Green's various numbers in this game are very balanced, with points, assists and rebounds, which is exactly the same as Xie Chen.
Thinking of this, Yu Jia couldn't help but ask a question: "It seems that the only player in history who has won triple-doubles in the NCAA and NBA Finals is Magic, right?" β
Zhang Weiping thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I just remembered when you said that, there is also a record dispute, it is Green and Xie Chen, both of them have won triple-doubles in the NCAA, and the number of games in this game is very balanced, and they all have the opportunity to get a triple-double." Who is the second person to do this? β
In fact, Xie Chen and Green, who were on the court, didn't know that the two were also competitors, but soon, the two had a chance to face off in a dislocation duel, which was after Xie Chen broke through, he hesitated in the face of the huge weight Green, and did not choose to break through, but immediately used Kobe's backward jumper.
In front of Green, he jumped back and made a jumper, Green jumped up and didn't interfere with Xie Chen's shooting at all, Green didn't have a height advantage, plus such a big weight, anti-shooting, or going to defend against back-to-back shooting, it was too difficult for him.
So, Xie Chen scored two more points easily and picturesquely, and after the shot, he couldn't help but deliberately stimulate Green: "Hey, you're too short." β
Green was immediately furious: "What did you say? You bastard, how dare you call me short? I said why do I hate you Heat players so much, when LeBron James was wearing your Heat jersey, he scolded me for being short, and he said I also admit it, why do you call me short! I'm taller than you! β
Xie Chen's casual words directly ignited Green's feelings, looking at Green's appearance, he wanted to run over to fight with Xie Chen, and his teammates immediately went over to pull the fight, because the referee on duty was the angel female referee, so he unceremoniously gave Green a technical foul.
Xie Chen was overjoyed in his heart, the feeling of the conspiracy succeeding was so cool, Green is one of the few players in the Warriors team who can talk trash to you, and Green's weakness is his height, as long as he says it, he will be angry.
But ridicule is ridicule, Xie Chen still admires this guy very much in his heart, Green is definitely the best representative of the all-round sniper in the Warriors, sometimes he will appear on the inside, fighting with big men, sometimes he will appear on the outside, limiting the opponent's pitcher, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, this kind of defensive ability is obviously rare in the league.
At this time, Curry stepped forward to comfort Green and said, "I told you that he is a nasty guy, remember how it feels now, let's beat him together!" (To be continued......)
