Chapter 881: Someone Is Doomed to Leave!
Every NBA player enters the league in the same way, posture and even mood, but leaves the NBA in a different way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some walked off the stage under countless applause, with a body of honor, enjoying the cheers of tens of thousands of people, like Jordan and Kobe; Some were just substituted in obscurity and never had a chance to play again, and some players didn't even know at the time that he would say goodbye to the NBA forever.
There are also players who have been carried off the pitch because of injuries and have never had the opportunity to play again, such as Mutombo and Ci Shiping in front of him.
Ci Shiping, who became famous in high school, proudly landed in the NBA, and has done too many impressive events in the league over the years, injuring Jordan, fighting in Auburn Hills, elbowing Harden, and angry Kobe, but who would have thought that such an iron-blooded tough guy would leave the arena in such a bleak way?
Ci Shiping struggled to the ground, his hands on his back, his face was very painful, the years are unforgiving, no matter how strong he is, he is almost forty years old, his body can no longer withstand such a serious injury, his ability can no longer adapt to the current league, this injury, everyone knows, may be the last game of his career.
The Lakers players were also very nervous, and everyone walked over, although everyone sometimes didn't like Ci Shiping, but they were also worried when they saw him like this.
Ci Shiping endured the pain, was carried on a stretcher, looked at Xie Chen and his teammates who were worried about him in front of him, squeezed out a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Xie Chen, Xie Chen found that this guy At this time, the strength of the handshake was not small, he was really a strong guy.
Ci Shiping lay on the stretcher and looked at Xie Chen and said, "I may never be able to play on this arena again in my life." ”
Although Xie Chen and Ci Shiping both knew that Ci Shiping had already been reimbursed for the season, Xie Chen still comforted: "You'll be fine, we need you in the seventh game." ”
Ci Shiping smiled and said, "You must drag the game to the seventh game and beat them for me!" Remember, you are a player who can never be beaten, and no one can beat you! You can't lose! ”
Speaking of this, the strength in Ci Shiping's hand became heavier, Xie Chen watched Ci Shiping get farther and farther away from him, and deeply felt his expectations for himself, Xie Chen has never been eliminated in the playoffs, Ci Shiping in order not to let Xie Chen lose, even if it is reimbursed from this career, Xie Chen does not blame Green's small actions, but a raging fire ignites in his heart, he does not want Ci Shiping to sacrifice in vain, he wants to win!
"I can't lose, no one wants to knock me out in the playoffs!" Xie Chen clenched his fists, he hadn't played the Legend Challenge today, but his current strength made him feel that he was not afraid of even two Legend Matches!
When Coach Cole saw this scene, he also secretly shouted in his heart: "It's not good, Ci Shiping's departure has given Xie a lot of strength and stimulation, originally at the beginning of the series, our players were more eager to win the championship than Xie, but now, I'm afraid it has been flat or even a little more Xie." ”
Players' desire to win is an important factor in winning the playoffs, generally speaking, superstars who have not won championships have a stronger desire than superstars who have won championships, originally Curry, Durant and others were bound to beat Xie Chen to win the championship, they played a 3:1 start in order to be ashamed, but now Xie Chen also has the same strong desire.
Ci Shiping not only made Xie Chen full of energy, every player in the Lakers was very motivated, with this energy, Xie Chen quickly scored more than 30 points, quickly solved the opponent in the Legend Challenge, and did not feel any loss of mental power after coming back, he was still full of energy, and everyone in the Lakers wanted to win this victory for Ci Shiping!
The Lakers still led the score until the second half, which made the Warriors a little anxious.
James Harden off the court also excitedly said: "The situation is likely to change, and the Lakers have hope of turning the tables!" ”
Anthony also nodded and said: "Ron's departure has given the Lakers players a lot of motivation, if the Warriors don't play magically in this game, it will be difficult to win, once it comes to the tiebreaker and return to the Lakers' home court, the Warriors' chances of winning are not great." ”
Why don't Warriors players know this? Each of them was also in a hurry.
The Warriors' defense of Xie Chen has reached a harsh point, they strictly guard against Xie Chen's ball control and scoring, once Xie Chen really has a chance to score, they will also gather the strength of the whole team to stop it, and they will not show mercy when fouling.
Bang bang bang.
Xie Chen made a gliding layup, and his arm was slapped by the Warriors' defenders three times in succession, but even so, Xie Chen still made a successful layup, which made the opponent and the audience feel incredible.
"It's just a demon, Green and they all hit Xie's arm at least three times combined, but he was able to pull the rod to the basket."
"Is his relationship with that guy Ci Shiping so good? Ci Shiping's departure actually gave him such a big motivation? ”
Xie Chen and Ci Shiping have been playing together for two consecutive seasons, and the relationship is naturally not bad, but it is not as good as the brotherhood with Hassan Whiteside and Wade, but Ci Shiping's words just now touched Xie Chen, he said that Xie Chen is a person who cannot be defeated, in order to preserve the myth of Xie Chen's 0 elimination in the playoffs, Ci Shiping is willing to be injured, how can Xie Chen not do his best?
After that, the Warriors didn't even give Xie Chen a chance to get up quickly, Xie Chen was not in a hurry, and passed to Mozgov, Mozgov is a trustworthy teammate, and he has a high success rate against the Warriors' interior line, even if McGee is now defending him, Mozgov did not hesitate, and immediately performed a dream step under the basket and made a hook, but the hook hand did not hit, but McGee made a full save, and the rebound was grabbed by Mozgov again.
After Mozgov got the rebound under the basket, he didn't continue to play, he didn't know how to grow his eyes behind his back, and found that Xie Chen rushed over and passed to Xie Chen very covertly, Xie Chen was in a state without the ball, and the defense he faced was naturally a lot looser, and after receiving the ball, he flew into the sky, went straight to McGee, and knocked McGee to the ground in the air!
"This is the second time in a row that McGee has been knocked down!" James Harden said lightly.
I saw that after McGee was knocked to the ground by Xie Chen, he immediately got up by himself, didn't say anything, and couldn't see any emotion on his face, he went to pick up the ball as soon as possible, and then sent it to Curry.
Similarly, after Xie Chen knocked down McGee, he didn't do any arrogant celebration or pretending to be forced, and returned to defense with his teammates as soon as possible, as if he had just scored the most ordinary ball.
Both sides have forgotten about humiliation and glory, and have only one thing on their minds, win, score!
Seeing this scene, Harden and Anthony couldn't help but be shocked, Harden said: "I've never seen a game like this, after being dunked, I didn't feel ashamed at all, I quickly got up and passed the ball, and the guy who gave such an exaggerated dunk didn't even scream......"
Anthony said with a serious face: "They only value one thing at the moment, and that is to win, and nothing else matters. The game has now been elevated to an unprecedented level. ”
Anthony watched everyone from the sidelines, from the players to the coaches, everyone was distracted, focused on doing a good job in every attack and defense at the moment, are they tired? After playing the whole game, fighting the whole game, of course they were tired, Xie Chen, including Mozgov, had several saves that fell to the ground, and the players of both teams were injured, but at this moment, no one would feel tired or injured.
"If you don't chase it back, you will be dragged into the tiebreaker by them." Curry is getting more and more anxious, Kevin Durant is also panicking, although the Warriors have many superstars, but at this time, no one can stand up to save the situation.
Xie Chen is also calculating the time, the Lakers are now ahead, and every minute that passes is more favorable to the Lakers.
"Now that the Warriors are still 12 points behind, Stephen Curry and KD must be very anxious, and this game can lead thanks to a few saves to launch a fast-break score, if they can realize this and follow us, hehe, it would be great."
Now that the Warriors are in a hurry to chase points, they need to have more offensive opportunities, how can they have more offensive opportunities? If they think about how the Lakers got these opportunities, they will also think about saving the ball, which is in line with Xie Chen's wishes, because Xie Chen knows that if there is no special training, if he does not communicate with his teammates in advance, it will be difficult to succeed if he wants to rely on tacit understanding on the spot, but will give the opponent a chance.
Things turned out to be as Xie Chen expected.
Dream Green encounters a Laker ball out of bounds, according to the previous style of play, he who is in the closest position to the basketball, will not reach the ball, he will watch the ball out of bounds, and then serve.
But this time, he suddenly had a different idea.
"The Lakers have so many easy scoring opportunities by saving the ball, and now their defense makes it difficult for us to score, and they can save the ball and play the fast break, and so can we!" Green thought and immediately pounced.
Green is also a man, and he does what he says.
After jumping, he threw the ball hard to the closest position to Curry, and the ball passed very hard, and Green didn't have a long training session, so it was not so easy to pass it properly.
The tacit understanding between Curry and Green is very good, as soon as Green pounces on the ball, he knows what Green is going to do, and he also starts a fast attack as soon as possible, which is originally a very good counterattack by the Warriors in the other way, but they underestimated Xie Chen's judgment.
Xie Chen guessed where Green would pass for the first time, plus the ball passed very high, Xie Chen had enough time to run over, and Green's pass was staged.
Curry and Xie Chen's positions are very close, and in such a situation, the two of them jump together to grab the ball, and everyone knows what the result will be.
Xie Chen easily squeezed Curry away and made a successful steal!
Green slammed into the crowd, unharmed.
Curry is behind Xie Chen, Green is no longer on the court, Xie Chen directly hit the basket and picks three, plus Kevin Durant still has scruples about the Lakers' vacant players, Xie Chen easily completed a violent dunk.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to give the Lakers points at this time, and the Warriors really can't get it back this time."
Many viewers of the Warriors showed disappointed looks, seeing that the game was getting closer and closer to the end of the game, many fans had already gotten up and left the court directly, unwilling to see the team's final defeat.
In the last three minutes, the Warriors' Curry, Durant, and Thompson took turns throwing three points, which can be said to be a bet on three points, all of which were difficult shots, and no one could have a magical performance.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors and won the Warriors by a full 17 points, which can be regarded as a big victory!
"The Lakers and Warriors are tied 3-3!" LeBron James saw this scene and shook his head in disbelief, how strong the Warriors are! They had already got the match point in Game 4, but they were forced to draw by the Lakers again!
James thought of the scene from 0:3 to being tied by Xie Chen, will the Warriors be like the Cavaliers back then, forced to draw and then reversed?
The fans at the Warriors scene were all very depressed, after three years, would they fall into Xie Chen's hands again?
"No, it's not true, how can we be overtaken by them." A hardcore Warriors fan can't help but cry bitterly, even if it's just a tie now, they haven't lost yet, and there are already fans who can't accept it.
"Xie is an eternal nightmare for our Warriors, if the Golden State Warriors want to win the championship, they must either wait for him to disappear from this league, or get him, there is no other way!"
Many fans who prepared "Xie Chen is not welcome to the Warriors" did not dare to say this again, without Xie Chen, would they be able to win the championship? The Big Four have all been forced to draw!
Coach Cole's expression after losing the game was very weird, instead of sadness or anger, he laughed, clapped his hands and walked past Xie Chen with a smile, and said to Xie Chen: "Very good!" Wonderful! ”
Xie Chen didn't understand whether Coach Kerr was referring to this game or something else, Xie Chen suddenly thought that even if Coach Kerr was so young and capable, leading the Warriors to become the best team in the league in the past three years, and achieving so many good results every year, but if he didn't win the championship for three consecutive years, would Kerr also be fired?
Thinking of this, Xie Chen felt even more that there was a trace of bitterness in Cole's smile just now.
Anyway, he won and he qualified for a tie-break with his opponent!
After the game, in an interview with reporters, Xie Chendai announced Ci Shiping's injury on behalf of the team: "We regret that in the next playoffs, there is no way to fight side by side with him, in addition, Ci Shiping announced one thing to you on my behalf, he has decided to retire." ”
Ci Shiping's retirement is certainly sad, but reporters are more concerned about Xie Chen and Curry, and the next game is crucial, because the next game is related to the decision of whether Xie Chen and Curry retire.
Xie Chen once said that he would retire if he won the championship, and Curry also said that he would choose to retire if he was reversed.
The reporter said: "The next tie-break will be the most important tie-break in NBA history, many people compare this game to a championship battle, thinking that whoever wins can become the champion of this season, we have never seen a team with a luxury star lineup like the Warriors, and we have never seen a team with 75 wins in the regular season, which in everyone's hearts, should not be defeated team, should not be eliminated from the team, but the next game, but a team is destined to be eliminated." ”
