Super All-around Point Guard

Halftime was tied by the Pacers in the away game. This result was not satisfactory to Coach Spoelstra, but the sudden outburst of Wade made Spoelstra very happy. Before that, he talked to Wade in person , and said that Xie Chen took a lot of pressure in the regular season, but Xie is a rookie after all, so I hope Wade can share more for Xie Chen in the playoffs.

Spoel hopes that Wade can help Xie Chen better and help the team. However, to his surprise, it is really exciting to see Wade from a year or two ago tonight.

If Wade can maintain this state, let alone Pacer Spoelstra, the Bulls are the same, and the Cavaliers can also fight!

Coach Frank was quite satisfied with the performance of the Pacers in the first half. The Pacers suppressed the Heat throughout the half. If it wasn't for Xie Chen's two corner three-pointers before leaving the court, the Pacers would definitely be in the lead. And in terms of rebounding, the Pacers did a good job and grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds. What they have to do is to improve the success rate and convert offense into points.

Coach Frank glanced at Paul George, who was panting heavily, and asked with concern: "Paul, how do you feel? This is the first time you have played in the starting lineup since your comeback. Can you bear such a long playing time?"

Frank is a little afraid that Paul George will be overwhelmed. After all, Paul George is also a very competitive guy. He scored a team-high 15 points in the first half and worked hard on defense.

Paul George smiled slightly: "I'm fine, coach. Our defensive strategy against Xie was very successful in the first half. He almost didn't rush to the basket to score too much. Roy Hibbert and David West didn't have many fouls. , This is a good thing, but I was really surprised that he scored 16 points in the first half, because I felt that Wade scored alone in the first half."

Not only Paul George has this feeling, but many people including the coaches have this feeling. Xie Chen didn't shoot too much or hold the ball too much in the first half, and the Heat handed over the ball to Wade more, maybe they I am used to Xie Chen scoring with the ball. Once Xie Chen is the "role player" who is assisted, it is easy to ignore Xie Chen's scoring.

Coach Frank looked at the data and said: "In the first half, he didn't take many shots, but his shooting percentage was very high, and his three-point shooting percentage was 100%. George Hill, this kid seems to be particularly good at shooting from the corner. In the second half, we must always pay attention to not let him catch the ball easily in the bottom corner."

"I see, coach." George Hill said a little depressed. In fact, George Hill's defense was relatively successful throughout the first half, but he never expected that Xie Chen's shooting rate was so high, especially the three-pointer from the bottom corner. As long as Hill is half a beat slow, Xie Chen will definitely hit it steadily.

But no matter how good a shooter is, it is impossible to maintain such a high shooting percentage from the beginning to the end. Therefore, in the Pacers' view, Xie Chen's shooting percentage will drop in the second half. Germany will also face physical problems in the second half. At that time, as long as Xie Chen is still prevented from breaking through and attacking the basket, the Pacers will still have a relatively high winning percentage.

Moreover, once Xie Chen really regains his form, David West has already figured out a plan to deal with this rookie in the playoffs.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Xie Chen and Chalmers formed a backcourt partner, Wade temporarily rested, and Henry Walker also temporarily replaced Luol Deng, who performed mediocrely tonight.

Looking at the white ocean of the audience, panting on the familiar yet unfamiliar court, Xie Chen secretly cheered himself up: "Although I scored a lot in the first half, it was not with my conventional weapons. I need to get back to my form in the second half, once me and D-WADE both open up, this game will be easy to play, playoffs... I have to prove myself in the playoffs!"

It was Solomon Hill who defended Xie Chen. This guy scored 10 points in the first half, which was higher than his average points per game this season. This made Xie Chen very upset. In my home court, how can you perform exceptionally well? ?

Looking at this slightly silly guy, Xie Chen held the ball on the left side and laughed, "You know what? Dude, I can easily pass you!"

Solomon Hill let out a cold snort of disdain: "If you have the ability, try it!"

Xie Chen smiled, stepped into the three-point line, pretended to break through, and then suddenly took a step back and retreated to the three-point line. Solomon Hill was not completely fooled, he had always been extremely afraid of Xie Chen's three-point shooting, So he didn't retreat too much. When he saw that Xie Chen still wanted to shoot a three-pointer, he immediately rushed forward and covered it.

"Idiot, that's a fake move!" Paul George, who was standing aside, saw this scene and shouted a little depressed in his heart.

As expected, Xie Chen did not choose to make a shot, but waited for the opponent to jump up and leaned his body against the opponent. The moment the referee blew the whistle, he took advantage of the situation and threw the ball. It didn't matter whether the ball scored or not. Xie Chen got three free throws .

"Nice job!"

"Damn it!"

Heat players and Pacers players had completely different reactions, but they didn't seem to realize that this was just an appetizer for Xie Chen's full firepower.

The Pacers are indeed very tenacious. Solomon Hill received a pass from his teammate and returned a three-pointer to Xie Chen. This aroused Xie Chen's fighting spirit even more. In the next attack, Xie Chen once again faced Solomon Hill's defense and stood firm. Unswervingly accelerated and directly broke through the defense, before the double-team came up, he went straight to the basket!

Xie Chen, fly again!

Facing David West's defense, Xie Chen was not afraid at all. He had already fought with the opponent before. With a calm face, Xie Chen glided to the basket and staged a Rose-style signature layup. !

Seeing that Xie Chen had already charged up, David West didn't dare to foul. The basketball went high into the top of the backboard, then hit the board, fell slowly, and the ball scored!

The audience is boiling! This is the Xie Chen they are familiar with, this is the Xie Chen they are looking forward to!

"Hahaha, Xie finally activated it! This is his game. No, this is his first breakthrough layup in the playoffs. It's so enjoyable to watch!"

"His state is still hot. Looking at his bouncing, airborne and layup movements, he has not changed a bit from the past. He did not play timidly because this is the playoffs."

After scoring this goal, Xie Chen also felt very refreshed. The old offensive state was finally recovered, and the feeling of flying into the air was simply wonderful. Next, Xie Chen had a big gift to give to the walker who came from afar. By!

One minute later, Xie Chen was holding the ball at the top of the arc, but he didn't dribble. He seemed a little hesitant, and with a feint, he almost hit the defender again. Then, Xie Chen didn't choose to shoot or dribble, but It was Henry Walker who suddenly and strangely passed the ball to the right. Walker was ready to shoot a three-pointer after receiving the ball, because Xie Chen had already consumed a lot of offensive time just now, and there was not much time left for the Heat to organize, and Walker also had a three-point shot. Sub-abilities, so I came up with a surprise vote.

Looking at Walker's posture, the Pacers thought he was going to shoot, but they didn't expect that after Xie Chen passed the ball, he went down to ask for the ball. Walker jumped up and passed the ball to Xie Chen. After Xie Chen received the basketball, he faced the basket and flew up. Hibbert was startled. While he was still in a daze, Xie Chen had already flew up. Hibbert subconsciously stretched out his arm to block Xie Chen. , but to no avail!

There was a domineering bang, and Xie Chen poured the ball into the basket with one hand! It also caused Hibbert's foul!

The scene was shocked! Everyone in the Heat's bench opened their mouths wide open. Wade, who also dunked Hibbert in the first half, was also dumbfounded. Then he smiled happily: "The all-round star in the regular season is finally back!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, Xie Chen dominated the game with a fake three-pointer, a breakthrough layup, and a catch and dunk, instantly allowing the Heat to overtake the Pacers. The Pacers had no choice but to call a timeout.

Coach Frank was furious: "Never let Xie Chong come in, never let Xie Chong come in, this is what I said countless times before the game, why did you forget this after the first half! Your defense Where is it? Roy, for that dunk just now, you just watched him dunk in front of you so stupidly? And gave him a free throw?"

Roy Hibbert was clearly full of grievances: "I really didn't expect him to dunk at the time. After he scored the ball, he didn't go down fast. After receiving the ball, he just took a step and flew straight for the dunk. This... It's incredible! He doesn't seem to need a run-up at all, and he can jump so high! I didn't have time to react. When I jumped up to block the shot, he had already dunked the ball into the basket. I didn't realize this foul .”

Hibbert felt that Xie Chen was a god-man. He seemed careless, but his explosive power was so strong in an instant. Hibbert didn't know who gave Xie Chen the energy at the moment of jumping?

At this time, Paul George spoke for Hibbert: "You can't blame Roy, Xie is a fast player. Unless you prepare one step ahead, it will be difficult to defend. He has obviously regained his form. We must not let him If he casually scores 40 points like in the regular season, we must stop him!"

The whole team responded in unison, and David West clenched his fists even more viciously.

David West is the person who has the most grudges with Xie Chen in the Pacers team. Without Granger and Lance Stephenson, the Pacers will be tasked with provoking opponents. What's more, West has always disliked Xie Chen. This time in the series against the Heat, he had already decided not to let the opponent play well.

When the two teams returned to the field, David West gave Xie Chen a venomous look. Xie Chen was in high spirits and at the peak of his state. He never imagined that one of the opponents was planning to use a trick.

George Hill held the ball at the top of the arc, and Xie Chen concentrated on single defense. At this time, David West stepped forward to pick and roll George Hill, and a huge wall of meat stood in front of Xie Chen. Wei West's existence, but he didn't care, his eyes were always on George Hill, and he also predicted Hill's next move.

Sure enough, with the help of David West's body, Hill suddenly made a breakthrough to the right. Xie Chen had to follow up immediately, but David West was in front of him, so Xie Chen had to quickly bypass David Wei Unexpectedly, at the moment when Xie Chen and David West came into contact with Xie Chen, the huge obstacle of 2.06 meters, West's shoulder suddenly exerted force, and suddenly bumped into Xie Chen who was starting. Xie Chen Shocked by this domineering force on the spot, the whole person fell to the ground.

At this time, the referee also whistled, and David West covered for a foul.

But even if the referee called the foul, Xie Chen was extremely upset, because David West obviously bumped into Xie Chen on purpose, not simply blocking it. Xie Chen's upper body was hurt by David West's bump, and he was angry. Come on, immediately got up and yelled at David West: "You dirty bastard! You will never win!"

David West had already shown an aggrieved face when he was called a foul. Hearing Xie Chen's accusation, David West smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, don't you pretend to be pretty? We are each other."

Xie Chen really wanted to scold me for pretending to be your uncle! With David West's strength and weight, Xie Chen was knocked down by this force. This guy actually thought Xie Chen was flopping?

Perhaps it was Xie Chen's physical confrontation when he blocked James' dunk, which made him, including many people, think that Xie Chen's physical confrontation is very strong, and he is far from being easily knocked down. However, how do they know whether Xie Chen is using skills or not? , How big is the difference?

Hassan Whiteside also couldn't understand it. In the regular season, he might have talked to David West for trash talking or waiting for an opportunity to get revenge. However, he is much more rational now, so he stepped forward and comforted Xie Chen. .

Xie Chen calmed down, but he didn't expect that the nightmare was far from over.

When Xie Chen was fighting for the offensive rebound, David West happened to be standing behind Xie Chen, and Xie Chen took the most favorable position. David West didn't seem in a hurry, just as the basketball bounced over, Xie Chen was about to take off At that time, West's two arms leaning on Xie Chen's back suddenly pushed Xie Chen forward. Xie Chen was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore, and swung his elbow to the back. Then, everyone Wei West and Xie Chen became entangled in an instant.

There was a commotion at the scene, and players from both sides hurried over to fight. During this period, while Hassan Whiteside was protecting Xie Chen and retreating, Paul George, who rushed over to La West, sprayed trash talk, saying to take care of your team That mad dog, Paul George got angry, and cursed at you, but fortunately, Wade, who had higher qualifications and prestige, appeared on the stage, calming down the chaos, and did not let the two sides continue to scold each other like this.

This time, the referee gave both sides a technical foul. Seeing Xie Chen's furious look, Wade could only comfort each other earnestly: "Xie, maybe you don't like it, maybe you find it hard to bear, but this is Ji Playoffs!"
