Super All-around Point Guard

On April 20th, at the American Airlines Arena, the scene was a sea of ​​white, and all the fans were uniformly dressed to cheer for the Miami Heat, which was playing at home.

As the DJ enthusiastically introduced the names of the players on the field, the fans began to cheer and applaud the home players. When they heard the familiar "Chris Xie", the atmosphere reached its climax. Applause and cheers are given to this first grader, to this kid who is playing in the playoffs for the first time in his life.

Xie Chen, who just entered the league, after a whole regular season of tempering, is no longer that youthful look, plus he intentionally grew a beard to make himself appear more mature. With 32.1 points, he is the scoring leader this season. People are expecting him to continue to be the scoring leader in the playoffs. Many fans are even betting on which records Xie Chen will break in the first game of the playoffs. It seems that everyone Don't worry that Xie Chen will be nervous or perform abnormally...

In fact, Xie Chen was nervous at this moment, extremely nervous.

Standing on the court and feeling the frenzied atmosphere, Xie Chen's heart was beating non-stop. Fortunately, his emotions would not affect his shooting rate. Otherwise, with Xie Chen's current emotions, it would definitely interfere.

Except for Xie Chen, Hassan Whiteside also looked a little overwhelmed, but this guy was more excited, while Luol Deng, Chalmers, Wade and others were relatively calm, especially Wade, who showed It doesn't matter even more than usual, Xie Chen secretly sighed that people who are used to big scenes are just different.

Most of the Pacers players have experience in the playoffs, so they are not nervous, but everyone is very serious, Paul George is like this, David West is like this, everyone is tense , Practice shooting silently.

Before the game, a reporter asked Frank Vogel, the head coach of the Pacers, that the Pacers have fallen in front of the Heat for three consecutive years, and this year it is very likely that they will be eliminated by the Heat for the fourth consecutive year. Do you blame fate?

Coach Frank smiled and said absolutely not, because the Pacers are no longer the team that was eliminated by the Heat 4:2. This year is different from last year and any previous year.

Interestingly, Heat coach Spoelstra also responded to this. He said that both the Heat and the Pacers have encountered major changes this year. It is indeed impossible for the two teams to have a 4:2 result like last year, because the Heat will 4 :0 swept the opponent.

Coach Spoelstra, who has always maintained a low-key personality, rarely speaks boldly. In his opinion, this Pacers team has no threat to the Heat. How can a team that is struggling to climb into the playoffs be the number one in the Eastern Conference? opponent? Besides, the two teams are already too familiar. Compared with last year, the Pacers have not only not become stronger, but also weakened correspondingly. Needless to say, Paul George cannot play at his peak. are gone, but on the contrary, although the Heat lost James, they have Xie Chen again.

At the scene, President Riley and the famous Mourning all appeared on the sidelines to watch the match.

Last night, Xie Chen received a lot of cheering and blessing messages, including Katie and Scarlett, who hadn’t been in touch for a long time. Katie works at ESPN, and Xie Chen asked her what people there think about this series. , I didn't expect that everyone was expecting the Pacers to stage a black eight miracle, and said that even if the Heat can win, they have to play until the seventh game, and there is absolutely no way to tell the winner within six games.

There was no news from Scarlett for a long time. After Xie Chen expressed his gratitude, he asked where she was, but Scarlett replied that the next scene would be filmed soon, so he didn't talk to Xie Chen again. Xie Chen always felt that Scarlett was mysterious, but the game was due the next day, and it was still the playoffs, so he didn't think much about it.

Old friends met again. The Heat players at home were wearing classic white and red jerseys. Xie Chen also wore a white armguard on his left arm, which made him look even more handsome.

Soon, the starting players of both sides stood on the field.

Heat starters: Xie Chen, Wade, Luol Deng, Haslem, Hassan Whiteside.

Pacers starters: George Hill, CJ Miles, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert.

It is worth mentioning that this is Paul George's first start since his comeback, and it turned out to be against the Heat in the playoffs! Before the game, George said that the Pacers won the previous contest between the two teams, and the Pacers still have great hope in this series.

Coach Frank and David West also said that among the Heat's three aces, only Wade has playoff experience, Xie Chen and Hassan have neither, and they will pay the price in this round of the series!

The game finally started. Hibbert, who was taller and more imposing, was the one who jumped the ball in the middle of the circle. First, he jumped to get the ball. Then, George Hill launched an attack quickly and broke into the basket. Everyone didn't expect it. He scored two points first with a small throw.

Xie Chen didn't prepare for the defense, and was caught off guard by his opponent unexpectedly. It seems that the Pacers really have fighting spirit.

When the Heat served, Xie Chen patted it to Wade and asked Wade to dribble the ball. The Heat are not as anxious to score as the Pacers. Winning at the beginning is not considered a win. Whoever can persist until the end and score is considered powerful.

Coach Frank stared at Xie Chen, and secretly cursed him in his heart: "I hope you won't have the crazy performance of the regular season in the playoffs. It's best to misfire every game and make a lot of mistakes in every game, Chris Xie , don’t be a hindrance to our team!”

For his old rival, the Heat, Frank is also very confident, but the only thing that makes him worry is Xie Chen, Xie Chen is too strong, can shoot and pass suddenly, Frank has a way to contain Xie Chen, but it will give other players Too many opportunities , Frank didn't want to do this, the most important thing was that Frank always felt that Xie Chen still had a lot of weapons that he hadn't used, so that Frank didn't know how to defend!

Just when Frank was standing aside and staring at Xie Chen with malicious intentions in front of him, the ball passed to Xie Chen's direction.

Xie Chen ran without the ball and came out from the inside. Just when he came to the three-point line, Wade made a strong cross pass and passed the ball directly to Xie Chen. Xie Chen just touched the ball with both hands and was about to get up to shoot. Unexpectedly, the basketball suddenly dropped and flew behind Xie Chen's body!

Then, there was only a bang, accompanied by a middle-aged man's scream.

"OUCH!" Coach Frank covered his face with his hands and squatted down in pain.

It turned out that after Xie Chen dropped the basketball, it hit Frank on the sidelines impartially in the face!

"Oh, coach, are you alright?" David West was the first to rush forward, caring, and then yelled at Xie Chen: "You kid must have done it on purpose, you hurt someone on purpose, referee, Give him a technical foul!"

Xie Chen was speechless for a while, the field fell into chaos less than a minute after the start, making the fans on the scene confused. Therefore, only some children watched happily and found it very interesting.

Xie Chen's ball was indeed caused by nervousness. When he ran out to receive the ball, because he was worried that the defensive player would step forward to block the block, Xie Chen wanted to get the ball and make a lightning shot. Unexpectedly, when he was nervous, the ball did not Hold it steady, and went straight back, and it just so happened that Frank was in that position and hit him directly on the head.

In the end, in order to calm down the mood of the players, Frank reassured the players that they were fine and let the players return to the court to play at ease, but he took a long time to calm down before opening his eyes... The curse on Xie Chen in his heart became more fierce.

Immediately afterwards, all the Pacers team members were angry and vowed to avenge the coach. Paul George, in particular, rushed forward to steal the ball when Xie Chen dribbled the next time, and the steal was successful. Unexpectedly in the morning, Xie Chen complained to the referee that the ball was hit, but the referee ignored it, and then watched Paul George successfully dunk.

Seeing George's dunk, the fans couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Looking at Paul George's competitive state, it seems that he has almost recovered. It seems that there will be a fierce fight in this series!"

"Yes, as long as Paul George is here, you must not underestimate the ambition of the Pacers team! Xie has not fully entered the state yet, and he seems a little nervous."

The Heat were beaten 4-0 by the Pacers at the beginning, which made it difficult for the Heat to accept. Xie Chen handed the ball to Wade. Wade singled Miles in the low post and made a shot. Finally, he won the first place in the playoffs. point.

However, just taking a breath, George Hill of the Pacers suddenly launched an attack again, passing Xie Chen in an instant, and then he dunked the ball into the basket with one hand as if no one was there!

This goal made Coach Spoelfurious. He didn't know where the Heat's defense was? How could Hill be allowed to easily go to the basket and complete the dunk?

George Hill is very fast and full of energy. He is a very mature athlete. He also played the best data of his career this season. He averaged 16.1 points and 5.1 assists per game in the regular season, and he has several lore performances. , and after blocking the birdman Anderson, a stunning performance of a dragon tomahawk.

Therefore, Xie Chen's defensive task is very heavy. He must contain George Hill's scoring and stick to him to prevent him from entering the basket. And Xie Chen, who has Westbrook's defensive ability, can certainly do this.

In this way, after five minutes in the first quarter, Xie Chen didn't score a single point and made frequent mistakes. Apart from getting better and better at defending Hill, he behaved like an out-and-out rookie. Hassan Whiteside was also in the same situation. Hassan fouled Hibbert twice as soon as he came up, which made Coach Spoelstra had to replace him early and replace him with Birdman Anderson.

Coach Spoelstra also had to call a timeout because the Heat were already 8 points behind.

During the timeout, Coach Spoel scolded these main players in the player's bench, but he didn't blame Xie Chen, because knowing that Xie Chen was playing the playoffs for the first time, his mentality would inevitably change, but as long as he adapted to the rhythm, he would slow down. Slowly getting better, but, except for Xie Chen, except for Hassan, these people are all veterans with rich experience in the playoffs. This is something that Coach Spoelstra cannot allow.

Xie Chen felt uncomfortable listening to it, and Wade also felt uncomfortable listening to it. When he came back from the timeout, something unexpected happened to everyone.

Xie Chen originally wanted to attack with the ball, but Wade suddenly asked for the ball, and then faced CJ Myers, who was taller than him, suddenly made an accelerated breakthrough, passed the opponent, and drove directly to the basket!

Wade made a layup with a stray step, which not only caused Hibbert's foul in the air, but also scored the ball, completing a 2+1!

"nice shot!"

Xie Chen was the first to clenched his fists and applauded. Seeing the ball just now, Wade's footsteps were really free. It didn't look like he was injured at all. It seems that Wade's injury should be fine now!

Wade made a solid free throw to bring the score closer.

Immediately afterwards, the Pacers missed a shot, Wade grabbed a rebound, quickly advanced forward, then accelerated and changed direction, and went to the basket again!

The Pacers shrunk their defense and completely blocked Wade's path. At this time, Wade used a unique skill he was good at, no longer rushing in, made an emergency stop, and did not shoot immediately. Take a step left laterally, then lean back slightly to shoot, and then hit!

"Beautiful!" Xie Chen became a Wade fan, and was stunned. How did Wade play so lightly and freely tonight? These two balls feel a bit back to their peak state!

Wade hit two good shots in a row. Just when everyone thought that Wade's wonderful performance would not last too long, suddenly, Wade predicted the pass route of Hill to CJ Miles, blocked the pass in advance, and then Quickly enter and start a fast attack!

Wade's speed was so fast that even Xie Chen, who quickly joined the fast break, was unexpected. After Wade's successful steal, Xie Chen wanted to bring the ball over to advance the fast break by himself, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

The fast break is 2 vs 2, but it is obvious that the Heat players sprint faster. Wade and Xie Chen are already teammates with a tacit understanding. They don't need to make eye contact, they know how to cooperate.

Xie Chen also faintly felt that his first point in the playoffs was coming!

Wade didn't seem to see Xie Chen at all during the fast break, and rushed to the basket desperately. The Pacers players were more familiar with Wade, an old opponent. Compared with Xie Chen, they were more afraid of Wade's strength, so even if they fouled Wade couldn't be allowed to score, and then, when the Pacers defensive player stuck to Wade, Wade was close to the basket, but he didn't choose to lay up, but threw the ball back high!

Hill saw that the ball was passed to Xie Chen who was following up later, but he was helpless because the ball was passed too high, and Hill couldn't reach it at all!

Then, I saw Xie Chen soaring into the sky as if he was in the world. With a long-suffering resentment, he took off with one foot, caught the ball with both hands, and then slid to the basket. With the alley-oop cooperation, he completed his first goal in the playoffs!

The audience cheered in unison. After Xie Chen dunked with both hands, he made a pull-up movement.

He is telling everyone with his excitement that his scoring performance is about to begin!

Today is the college entrance examination day. I wish all college entrance examination candidates can get satisfactory results. First take the exam well, and then watch the NBA. Every year, the college entrance examination will hit the NBA Finals. I remember that when I took the college entrance examination, the Miami Heat won the team history After the first championship, the Heat were still 0:2 behind after the test, and then watched that immature Wade rush to the basket time and time again, pulling the score back one game at a time. I hope this year's finals will be just as exciting!
