Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 253 The Third Battle!
Early the next morning, the Heat team took a special plane to Indianapolis, Indiana. After enjoying the advantages of the two home games, it was finally the heat's turn to suffer from the away game. In fact, as soon as they came to this city that is no stranger to the Heat team, everyone felt uncomfortable. Come on some bad things like that.
Everyone knows that the team playing at home has a better chance of winning, and it is rare for the series to be swept, unless the strength of the two sides is too different, but judging from the outside world and past experience, it does not seem like the Heat can Sweeping the Pacers, which was impossible when James was in the past, seems even more difficult to do now.
Coach Spoelstra has always entrusted him to be undefeated at home, but he has no strict requirements for away wins. Of course, Xie Chen wants to win four consecutive victories and advance directly to the next round, but in Chalmers, Cole, Wade, etc. It seems that the old Jianghu is not realistic, and there is no need to pursue perfection. Losing a game is no big deal, the important thing is to win the series.
On the road, Xie Chen felt that the team's desire to win is not very high, at least slightly lower than the previous two games. I believe that any team that has won two consecutive victories will have a sense of pride, but Xie Chen does not, even if he is the last Qualified to be arrogant.
Past life experience tells Xie Chen that nothing goes smoothly all the time, and people have to be prepared for a rainy day. Once a game is won by the Pacers, it gives the Pacers confidence and lets them know that the Heat can be defeated. It will be won by the Pacers again. Once the tie is 2-2, the result will be difficult to predict. After all, the NBA is a place where miracles happen.
However, everyone's current state cannot be changed with a few reminders from Xie Chen.
Today, there are teams in the East and West competing in the playoffs. The first game is the Rockets and the Mavericks. The Rockets are in the same situation as the Heat. They have won two consecutive victories at home, and now they are playing away games. , In terms of psychology and state, the two teams are similar. Seeing Howard's cheerfulness before the game, you know that the entire Rockets team is now very optimistic, but Harden still looks serious with a sullen face.
After the start of the game, the two sides played inextricably in the first quarter. The fans were quite enthusiastic, especially the owner of the Mavericks, Mark Cuban. , Today at home, cheering and shouting is spared no effort, but nowitzki looks good today, the Mavericks seem to have great hope of a comeback.
The Mavericks are also the Heat's old opponents, but everyone doesn't think they will meet them in the finals this year.
"I thought this would be an intense series in the first round, but I didn't expect it to be overwhelming." Wade said with a smile.
Haslem smiled and said: "Don't worry, maybe the Mavericks can win this game. The most intense first round is the Clippers and Spurs. I can't wait to see their next matchup."
From the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets suddenly felt cold, but the Mavericks still maintained their opening momentum, especially on the bench. Three players scored more than 5 points and led their opponents by nearly 10 points at halftime.
Just when people thought that the Mavericks were about to win a round, at the beginning of the second half, Hakishi told his opponent with actions, no way! In the third quarter, he scored 16 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, he scored 34 points. Before halfway through the quarter, he directly overtook the score. The Heat will be dumbfounded.
"Oh, my God, James Harden's performance is too crazy, this is simply an MVP-level performance! Thanks, I think this guy may also be a threat for you and Stephen Curry to compete for MVP." Chalmers was stunned Yes, Harden's touch is simply too hot.
Xie Chen also smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "It seems that this year is not only me playing at the highest level, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook, all these guys have played their careers. Best performance. Why do I feel like these guys are all motivated by me?"
This year is a happy season for most NBA fans, except for the superstar Kobe who only played for a short period due to injury, James is at his peak, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Xie People like Chen all had amazing performances, and it could be said that this was a year in which a great number of talents emerged in large numbers.
Speaking of Russell Westbrook, the Thunder recently announced a major news that Thunder coach Brooks was fired. Xie Chen was also very surprised when he heard about it. In fact, Xie Chen still prefers this coach. The season can play so crazy, Brooks also contributed.
He very much encourages players to play in the way they are used to. This is often called X**D by fans. For example, Dion Waiters, who was regarded as a cancer in the Cavaliers and traded away as a bomb in the locker room, can play in the Thunder. The wind is booming, but Dion Waiters is really a coach killer. He has been in the league for three years. After each season, the coaches who lead him will be fired. Byron Scott, Mike Brown, and Now Brooks, I don't know if the Thunder's new coach can escape this curse.
Just thinking about the Thunder, Xie Chen suddenly received a message from Westbrook: "Hey, buddy, are you watching the Rockets game? James is so hot!"
Xie Chen quickly replied to Westbrook who didn't know where to go fishing: "I seem to have seen the scene where he showed off to me after the game..."
"Hahaha, I am very happy for you to see that you can play so smoothly in the playoffs. I will continue to pay attention to the playoffs and support you! I wish you all can reach the finals, so I will go to the scene Watching the game!" Westbrook now regards Harden and Xie Chen as brothers, no wonder he is so excited about NBA games after going fishing.
The game between the Rockets and the Mavericks did not become suspenseless because of Harden's outburst. Nowitzki stood up again to save the team. At the last moment, Nowitzki made two free throws and chased the score to only one point. , At this critical moment, Harden made a strong breakthrough and played a 2+1, re-stabilizing the situation. In the end, the Rockets struggled to win the away game and won the match point with a 3:0 advantage.
"It seems that playing an away game will not be too easy, but if the score can be stalemate until the end, then the stronger team will still win." Watching the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks gave Xie Chen some Inspiration, that is tomorrow's game against the Pacers. Even if you can't lead as much as the previous game, you still have to cling to the score. As long as the stalemate goes to the end, the Heat must be better at key points and key defenses, so the probability of winning is also high. will be larger.
This time Harden scored 40+ again. It is conceivable that Harden will show off to Xie Chen again later.
The second matchup today is between the Bulls and the Raptors. The two sides came to the home of the Toronto Raptors in Canada. The fans of the Raptors are quite fanatical. There are huge crowds of people in front of the outdoor plaza. They all want the team to win this victory. The Raptors scored a goal, and there were overwhelming cheers. The Bulls were really overwhelmed, and Rose was a little out of order, but what was unexpected was that Jimmy Butler suddenly stood up in this game and won the team's highest score. With 2 points, the Raptors were defeated again, and another 3:0 team appeared!
After the Bulls defeated the Raptors, Coach Spoelstra walked in front of everyone and said solemnly: "Maybe if we set our sights on Chicago now, we will be disrespectful to our current opponents, but now the situation is very clear. If we advance, the next opponent It must be the Chicago Bulls, what do you guys think if you play against the Bulls?"
Wade now has a love-hate relationship with the Chicago Bulls: "The Bulls are definitely an opponent that is not easy to deal with. Although the Bulls win the match point now, they must be our opponents in the next round, but before we really finish solving the Pacers, don't let them go. miss them."
Hassan Whiteside seems confident: "We don't seem to have lost to the Bulls in the regular season. I don't think this team has anything to be afraid of."
Coach Spoel looked at Xie Chen and asked with a smile, "What about you? Thank you, your playing style is very similar to D-ROSE's. Are you looking forward to meeting him?"
Xie Chen smiled, and then said with a serious face: "I can only say that we must not lose to any opponent until we meet LeBron."
In Xie Chen's eyes, the only opponent in the east is James! I don't know how Paul George and Rose would feel if they knew that Xie Chen didn't take them seriously.
Everyone talked about the Chicago Bulls together, and continued to pay attention to the Clippers and Spurs, which is considered the most tragic matchup in the first round. Xie Chen was once optimistic that the Clippers could win the Western Conference championship this year, but he did not expect this game to come to the Spurs At home, they lost miserably to their opponents! The series fell behind 1:2!
"The Clippers will fail in the first round, right?" Xie Chen really didn't expect this result. Xie Chen didn't have many opponents to lose in the regular season, and Paul's Clippers was one of them. Frankly speaking, if the total In the final against the Clippers, Xie Chen felt that it would be very difficult to play.
The game was going to be played the next day, and everyone quickly returned to their respective rooms to rest. I don't know if it was the first time they played an away game in the playoffs. Xie Chen fell asleep very late.
"The Pacers have no way out. Once they lose 3 games in a row, it means there is no chance of a comeback. So tomorrow they will definitely rebound and try their best to win a game. If they can win tomorrow, this The series could end early."
In Xie Chen's view, the outcome of the first and second games is not as important as tomorrow's game. This is a game that can destroy the opponent's confidence, and what Xie Chen loves to do is this kind of thing, like a cold-blooded killer, Just like Kobe back then.
The playoffs have already begun for some days. ESPN published an article at this time predicting the teams that will advance to the first round. They believe that strong teams like the Warriors, Cavaliers, and Bulls will sweep their opponents 4:0, and the Rockets will be caught up by the Mavericks. Although the Heat beat their opponents in the second game, experts predict that the Pacers will not be swept in this series, and they can win at least two games against the Heat. Even if they win both away games, the possibility of a comeback Relatively large, the Clippers and the Spurs believe that the battle will go to Game 7, and the experienced Spurs will advance.
Everyone seems to think that the Pacers will rebound, how could they not win a game?
On this day, the Bankers Life Arena, home of the Pacers, was full of fanatical fans. They finally waited for their team to go home to play. Everyone was very excited, and everyone spared no effort to cheer for their favorite team.
"At the end of the regular season, we didn't know whether the Pacers could make the playoffs. I didn't expect Paul George to come back suddenly, and then the Pacers played a winning streak and miraculously advanced to the playoffs. At that time I knew , this team cannot be easily defeated!" A pure and beautiful woman, wearing the same uniform as everyone else, looked at Paul George affectionately with firm eyes.
Her boyfriend next to her is not an NBA fan, not even Indiana, but he also catered to him: "My dear, you are right! The Pacers are not much worse than the Heat. It makes no sense that they can't win a game. This game It seems to be very important, once it loses, it will be 3-0, I believe the Pacers will win, and it will be a big victory!"
Must win! It is what every Pacers fan and every Pacers player repeats in their hearts. Now that the Pacers have been burned to the edge of the cliff by the Heat, once they take a step back, they will face an abyss, and they will never be able to climb up again. .
Coach Frank is the most excited. Even though he has been tirelessly telling the players the importance of this game in the past few days, there is no need for the coach to tell. Veterans like Paul George and David West also know what this game means. The team can reverse from 0 to 3 behind, at least this miracle they can't do it as the eighth in the Eastern Conference. If they want to win, they can only win in this game. It's over, but for most people, it's over early.
On the Heat's side, Coach Spoelstra also gathered everyone together: "As you can see, our opponents and their fans are very fanatical. Their fighting spirit is beyond our imagination. They are determined to win this victory, and we What we have to do is to dash their hopes! Guys, use all your strength to win this victory, and then, we will challenge the Bulls!"
"Okay!" The Heat's generals also had a lot of fighting spirit.
There was a well-known person at the commentary desk on the sidelines, looking at the state of the players of the two teams, he secretly said: "The two teams seem to have a lot of fighting spirit. Will bounce back and win the next game, this game will be much better, and besides, that guy is playing away in the playoffs for the first time, I wonder if he will play abnormally?"
This person is Reggie Miller.
Congratulations to the Warriors for winning the championship! Add more at night
