Chapter 743: Who Can Stop the Lakers from Clocking in on the Third Quarter!

Hassan Whiteside averaged 3.7 blocks per game last season, the league's block leader, although it has dropped a little this season, but the average points per game has increased by 7 points from last season, and he is also one of the few players in the Heat team who can score 20 points. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Without the familiar Wade and Bosh, the Heat group has a huge problem scoring, although there is a championship background, but they really don't know who to rely on, Hassan forced himself to take on more scoring tasks, he even trained the three-point shot, and the practice turned out to be good, for now, it is reasonable to call him the league's No. 1 center this season.

As for Dragic's performance, it was also mediocre and did not play his own rhythm.

There are many people who are expecting last season's rookies Winslow and Josh Richardson to break out and play this season, but in fact, although they have grown in their second year compared to their first season, the growth is too small to provide substantial help to the team.

After Xie Chen broke out at the beginning, he felt that the Heat team was very weak.

"In terms of offense in our team, even if all five of them are combined, they can't fight one person." Spoelstra, in the face of Xie Chen's ruthless rage, his expression was still calm, before the game, Xie Chen just shook hands with Spo and didn't say anything, which made Spoelstra feel Xie Chen's disappointment with the Heat.

In fact, whether it was Wade's departure or the Bosh matter, it was all Riley's idea, and Spo was just a coach who didn't have any rights.

"Thanks, you can go for what you want in this game, whether it's 100 points or 20 times and 30 assists, I won't stop you." Coach Spo doesn't care about the background, because if there is no Xie Chen, he would not be able to enter the finals and win the championship after the team loses James.

This game is completely Xie Chen's game against Hassan Whiteside, no one in the Heat can stand up and score points with Xie Chen, of course, Hassan can't do it, what he is best at is blocking, once blocked Yi Jianlian's forced dunk, Hassan was even so domineering that the basketball was deformed when blocking.

In the end, the Heat still couldn't hold out for three quarters, and the Lakers' main players continued to clock out for three quarters.

After this game, people couldn't help but marvel.

"Now don't ask when the Lakers will lose, what should be asked, which team can drag the Lakers to the final quarter and keep Xie still playing in the fourth quarter!"

"That's right, it's terrible, every fourth quarter is garbage time, it's too good for the Lakers, they can give the main team a better rest, and they can also reduce their chance of injury, and they can also give the bench players more time to play, the coach can practice more tactics on the court, and the next game is against the Pelicans, I feel like the Pelicans can't last three quarters, only waiting for the Spurs!"

At the same time, it just so happened that the Warriors lost another game, and the gap between them and the Lakers widened again, and the Warriors fans had a headache, because they really didn't have the confidence to wait to win the Lakers' opponents, and now they didn't even have a team that could drag the Lakers' main force to the fourth quarter!

At this time, both the media and netizens have stood up and said that the Warriors do not deserve to be called a super team at all, and the Lakers are the strongest team, not only winning the most games and losing the least, but also ending the battle in three quarters in every recent game, which is the style of a super strong team!

The Pelicans, who are about to encounter the Lakers, are all very depressed, because everyone is waiting to see the Lakers defeat the Pelicans in the third quarter, and they are all looking forward to the Pelicans' jokes, which makes Anthony Davis very unhappy, but they have played against the Lakers, and he knows how difficult it will be for the Lakers to deal with once Xie Chen really plays seriously.

If you want not to be defeated by the Lakers in the third quarter, the first condition that must be met is that the team itself has strong offensive firepower, Anthony Davis is naturally a superstar, this season's average of close to scoring per game has been close to 30 points, and there are also 12 rebounds and 3 assists per game, the team also has Holiday , although it is not as good as the Warriors and Cavaliers, but it seems that it is enough to cause some obstacles to the Lakers, at least there is hope for three quarters.

On the day of the game, Xie Chen scored 30 points early, and after the legendary challenge, he was a little tired mentally, so in the third quarter, Xie Chen was no longer so fierce, and it happened that the Pelicans played a wave of counterattack in the last two minutes of the third quarter. tide, at the end of the third quarter, narrowed the difference to only 9 points!

You know, the definition of entering garbage time in the third quarter is to have a lead of at least 20 points.

"Single digits! Oh my God, after three quarters of the game, there was only a 9-point difference with the Lakers! The Pelicans are the only team that has not allowed Xie to clock in in the third quarter in the past half a month! ”

"The big bird is mighty! Originally, the Lakers were almost 20 points ahead, but in the last two minutes, Anthony Davis and Holiday hit three points one after another, chasing the difference to single digits. Hahaha. ”

When the third quarter ended, there was a roar of cheers, as if the Pelicans had won the game.

"It turned out that being down by 9 points in the third quarter could make them so happy...... What's wrong with the NBA now? Xie Chen looked at the cheers of the audience, and it was really hard to understand what they were happy about, you guys were behind the score!

It seems that the current team with average strength, as long as it does not fall behind by more than 15 points in the third quarter, it is already considered a success, Xie Chen does not know his recent wave of madness, and their definition of victory has also changed.

Anthony Davis, as the biggest hero, naturally couldn't help but be happy, and at the end of the third quarter, he smiled at Xie Chen and said: "I'm sorry, Xie, you have only played three quarters in so many games in a row, but it's a pity that when you meet me, you have to show up in the fourth quarter, and even if you play the fourth quarter, the victory belongs to us!" ”

Xie Chen was very helpless, didn't he just force us to the fourth quarter? As for being so proud? If you are one of the top five players in the league, if you have this ambition, your future is worrying!

Xie Chen shrugged his shoulders, ignored him, and walked back to the player's box.

After going back, Xie Chen said to Nick Yang, Yi Jianlian, Richard Jefferson, Ci Shiping and other substitutes: "In the past half month, you have played a lot of time in each game, I can see that your hand is getting better and better, as soon as the fourth quarter starts, give them some color and see!" ”

Nick Yang immediately understood what Xie Chen meant, Xie Chen is used to clocking out of work in the third quarter, and he doesn't want to play in the fourth quarter, if these substitutes can continue to expand the score difference at the beginning, then Xie Chen doesn't need to play.

Nick Young patted his chest with confidence and said, "Don't worry, Xie, don't look at the difference now that they are only 9 points, it won't take more than two minutes for us to widen the difference to 17 points, right, Ron?" ”

Ci Shiping also looked arrogant: "That's for sure, man, thank you, you can spend the fourth quarter on the bench with peace of mind!" ”

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the two bench players played each other, and Anthony Davis also counted on the Pelicans' bench players to take advantage of Xie Chen's absence to narrow the gap a little more, and wait until they played, and then enter the final battle, but unfortunately, although he has played against the Lakers this season, he obviously does not know the recent state of the Lakers bench players.

Because these substitute players have gained enough playing time for many consecutive games, the state on the field and the tacit understanding between the players are getting better and better, especially Nick Young, because every team is a big lead, so Nick Young plays unscrupulously, the more confident, but the more calmly he plays.

Nick Young first deceived the opponent with a very big change of direction, and then went to the basket, made a hidden pass backwards, and the follow-up Yi Jianlian dunked with both hands!

Subsequently, Nick Young succeeded in singleing his opponent.

After that, Nick Young assisted Richard Jefferson on a three-pointer.

At this time, Nick Young was already arrogant on the court and made a defiant gesture to the Pelicans bench.

The Pelicans were very depressed, and they wanted to continue to narrow the score, but they didn't expect the difference to widen again in an instant.

Luke Wharton was also very happy when he saw this scene, it was not easy for the substitute players to play this kind of momentum, Wharton smiled and said to Xie Chen: "It seems that keeping Nick Young is really the right choice." ”

Xie Chen said: "If the Lakers are very poor, it is no different if Nick Young is not on this team, but if the Lakers are very strong, just like the last few games have defeated the opponent in three quarters per game, with Nick Young here, it makes sense, this guy is more suitable to play reckless ball, anyway, the score is so far ahead, just play as he pleases." ”

The Pelicans really couldn't stand it, Brother Thick Eyebrows immediately reappeared, and the Pelicans did slowly narrow the point difference, but the point difference was too big to be able to catch up in a while, and then, Luke Wharton sent Randle and Ingram on the court to stabilize the situation, and the entire fourth quarter was controlled by the Lakers all the time, and the Pelicans were stunned that they didn't force Xie Chen out of the bench!

"I'll go, this Xie Chen is checking in for the third quarter, and after the third quarter of the game, I thought Xie was going to play the fourth quarter!"

"It is recommended that the sports lottery open a new way to play, which is to guess which Xie Chen will play in the fourth quarter of the game."

"As a main player, not playing in the fourth quarter for many consecutive games, is that considered an achievement?"

Even though the Pelicans played fiercely this time, they still failed to let Xie Chen play in the last quarter, and Anthony Davis remembered what he said to Xie Chen at the end of the third quarter, and felt embarrassed to talk to Xie Chen again.

After the Pelicans, everyone pinned their hopes on the San Antonio Spurs, a recognized powerhouse in the West.

The Lakers will encounter the Spurs in the next game, and it is also away, you know, the Spurs are one of the few teams that can beat the Lakers this season, not to mention dragging Xie Chen to the last quarter, even if Xie Chen plays the whole game, he may not be able to win the Spurs!

All the black fans of Xie Chen and the Lakers pinned their hopes on the Spurs led by Popovich!

"The Lakers finally met the Spurs! Finally met a strong team! Finally, I don't have to watch Xie Chen's third festival to clock in and pretend to be forced to get off work! You know how hard it has been for us Xie Hei in the past half a month! ”

"Xie Chen, there is a kind of you who continue to threaten Popovich, and see that if he doesn't fight, you will be looking for teeth all over the ground!"

Not only the fans on the Internet are excited, but even the NBA, as the coach of a team, can't hide the excitement in his heart.

Even before the Lakers' visit to San Antonio, Popovich felt the difference from his usual game.

In the past two days, Popovich has always received a lot of calls from coaches of other teams.

For example, Snyder, the coach of the Spurs, Jazz coach Snyder, such as Trail Blazers coach Stotts, and Suns coach Earl Watson, all called Popovich, saying that thank God Xie Chen finally met Popovich, and asked Popovich to teach Xie Chen a good lesson as an arrogant player, and told Xie Chen all kinds of bad behaviors that threatened the coach, after all, Popovich can be called the boss of the coach, and his ability and his status are the highest in the active service.

After listening to the accusations of these people, especially the accusations of Stotts and Watson, who were almost crying, Popovich did not feel that Xie Chen was hateful, but after hanging up the phone, he secretly laughed.

"Hahaha, this group of idiots, they were made like this guy by Xie, they are far worse than Luke Walton who was the head coach in his first season, but Xie has been so strong recently, it seems that I have to be careful to deal with it."

After reading these people's jokes, it was finally Popovich's turn, although he said that he should be careful of Xie Chen, but he didn't take the other party too seriously, it can be said that since Xie Chen's first season in the league, even though Xie Chen has improved at an astonishing rate every season, Popovich has always had a way to deal with Xie Chen.

Popovich glanced at the training ground, where Leonard was sweating hard and shooting practice for an unknown number of times, still looking tireless.

“kawhi。” Popovich shouted at Leonard from the sidelines.

Leonard heard the coach's shout, and thought that he was doing something wrong, wiped his sweat, and walked over with his head down.

"Coach." Leonard said respectfully.

Popovich said with a serious face: "Do you know who our next opponent is?" ”

Leonard said, "Los Angeles Lakers. ”

Popovich continued: "Any idea what Crischet has done lately? ”

Leonard was still expressionless: "He scored 101 points, broke the single-quarter assist record, and also got a single-quarter quadruple-double." ”

If you were an ordinary player, you would unconsciously be amazed and frightened when you say these terrifying achievements, but on Leonard's face, you can't see anything!

Then, Popovich said something that made the Trail Blazers, Suns, Jazz and other coaches faint when they heard it: "In the next game, is there a problem with one person limiting Xie to less than 40 points?" ”

Leonard said, "No problem, Coach. (To be continued.) )
