Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 272 The Strongest Me This Season!
After changing to Jimmy Butler marking Xie Chen in the fourth quarter, the Heat's original score advantage was gradually overtaken by the Bulls. At the critical moment with only two minutes left, with Gasol's mid-range shot, the Bulls even took the lead. A point for the Heat!
Originally, all the fans thought that the Bulls would fall in the hands of the Heat in this game, but they didn't expect that the more they got to the end, the more they saw the hope of victory! And the hero who led to this result is Jimmy Butler!
After Jimmy Butler defended Xie Chen, Xie Chen's three-point shooting rate plummeted, because Butler had a height advantage, and Xie Chen's shooting posture was Curry's forward push. Butler's defense interfered a lot with Xie Chen .
This is not the key to the Heat losing their score advantage, the most critical point is that Xie Chen cannot break through Jimmy Butler's defense!
Butler stuck to Xie Chen's body tightly like a plaster. Although he was big and small, he could keep up with Xie Chen's footsteps. Whether he scored himself or revitalized the whole team, he lost his chance.
"Xie couldn't break through Jimmy Butler's defense! God, I thought he was omnipotent!"
"It seems that he still can't be called the number one point guard in the league. If it were Westbrook, it would never be possible to encounter such a predicament. Jimmy is so much taller than Xie, and Xie can't break through him! Changing to Westbrook, it must be Just one step!"
Only then did Bulls fans realize that Xie Chen is not an unrestricted "god-level player", and he is not the strongest in every ability, at least in terms of breakthroughs, compared to Westbrook and Lillard , compared to Irving.
The generals of the Cavaliers also have different expressions. James said: "I have known for a long time that Xie's breakthrough ability is not top-notch, and the instant explosive power of the yellow race is still not good. The Bulls seem to have found a way to deal with Xie. The next thing is to see Wade can I can't stand up anymore."
After switching defenses, Rose defends Wade, and Wade is very capable of singles in the low post, and has a high success rate against Jimmy Butler. Rose's height and weight are Wade's favorite, so Xie Chen passed the ball. Wade turned over and hit a jumper after hitting.
The Heat once again overtook the score, and the suspense of the game remained.
But Wade can only say that playing Rose is more comfortable than playing Jimmy Butler. It is definitely not easy or overwhelming. No, Xie Chen must stand up.
The Bulls played more steadily at the critical moment, and their shooting percentage was higher. Soon, the score alternated again.
Seeing that the score was one point behind, Xie Chen couldn't help feeling a little flustered. There was only the last minute left, and every ball was very important. Good or bad luck, the game is over, and there is no chance to come back.
This last-minute performance is more important than the performance of the previous three full quarters.
Of course Xie Chen can score with shots, but facing Jimmy Butler, his shooting percentage is not high. The three-pointer is too risky, the breakthrough is impossible, and the fallback is too reluctant. Xie Chen still decides to give the ball to a more secure point. , Wade.
Wade still catches the ball in the most familiar position, relying on Rose, Rose is very good at top defense, Wade is heavier and more experienced, Jimmy Butler tentatively went to double-team it, and when he saw Butler approaching , Wade quickly passed the ball to Xie Chen who was standing outside.
When Butler saw that Wade was going to pass the ball, he immediately ran back. After Xie Chen received the ball, he made a fake shot. In a word, it's too risky. This point is not the bottom corner, and it is not the point that Curry is best at. It is safer to take two points.
After Xie Chen made a fake move, he immediately broke through!
"This time Xie can finally break through!"
"Not yet! He hasn't completely escaped Jimmy Butler's defense!"
Jimmy Butler quickly retreated after taking off, took two big strides in front of Xie Chen, and stood in front of Xie Chen with his whole body. Xie Chen was anxious and forced to break through, but was slapped by Butler's big hand and broke!
"What?" Xie Chen couldn't believe that he made a mistake in a panic, and was intercepted by Jimmy Butler!
After the steal, Jimmy Butler quickly rushed to the frontcourt. No one could catch up, and he could only watch him dunk.
"Hahaha, Jimmy is so good! He completely restricted the opponent's trump card! Xie couldn't break through Jimmy's defense at all, and the result of forcing a breakthrough was to be cut off!"
"Thibodeau should have made such an attempt a long time ago! But I still don't understand, with his height and weight, how can the speed appear so cumbersome? It doesn't have the feeling of Westbrook Rose at all!"
"It can only be attributed to the fact that he is of the yellow race! Isn't Jeremy Lin also at this level! Hmph, no matter how hard they try, they can't get some talents!"
Although Xie Chen couldn't hear other people's evaluation of him, he knew that his current performance had disappointed many fans who supported him. Xie Chen squatted down with a sense of powerlessness, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.
Wade stepped forward and patted Xie Chen on the back, comforting: "Don't worry, we still have a chance."
Coach Spoel called a timeout, Xie Chen couldn't listen to what the coach said at all, the fans were too noisy, their triumphant laughter made Xie Chen upset, it seemed that Xie Chen had hallucinations in his ears, as if he heard a lot of people I'm berating myself.
"I want to win! Jimmy Butler will never limit me!" Xie Chen clenched his fists and cheered himself up.
With this fighting spirit, Xie Chen quickly rushed to the basket after Beasley made a shot, grabbed rebounds from the heads of two Bulls players, and then quickly made a layup.
The Heat are still chasing the score!
Finally, with only three seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Heat tied the Bulls 96! And the ball is in the hands of the Bulls!
Everyone held their breath, waiting patiently for the next scene. It can be seen that Xie Chen is obviously in a bad state. Now that the initiative is in the hands of the Bulls, he could have prevented this from happening. It's not easy to score in three seconds, but it doesn't mean it's impossible!
For the Heat, this crisis is huge!
"Who will the Bulls choose to execute the last attack? Jimmy Butler or Derrick Rose? Judging from tonight's performance, it seems that Jimmy Butler has a better handle."
The fans at the scene, including the playoff opponents thousands of miles away, were very curious.
In any case, Rose is still the Bulls' trump card. Even if his shooting percentage is not high today, he may be responsible for the last attack. Therefore, Xie Chen, who is in charge of defending Rose, has a heavy task. He has to stick to Rose tightly, and he has to think about whether Rose goes in or shoots outside.
The exciting moment finally arrived. It really was Rose who caught the ball from the outside. After catching the ball, he quickly broke through to the right. He tried his best, but he still couldn't stick to the opponent all the time, because of Noah's pick and roll, Xie Chen was blocked by Noah!
Fortunately, Beasley stepped forward to defend Rose. He is taller and interferes more with opponents!
At the moment of life and death, Ross took off decisively without hesitation!
Bang! At the same time as the buzzer sounded, the basketball kicked into the net!
Lore! Rose completed the lore!
The sea of red on the scene is completely boiling! So much noise that you can't hear what anyone is saying!
And Rose, after completing this handsome lore, had no expression on his face, no roar of excitement, no joy, just stood there quietly, allowing his teammates to hug him up to celebrate.
Warriors player Curry, who was watching the live broadcast, saw this scene and was secretly shocked: "It turns out that doing nothing is the highest state of pretending to be B!"
The Bulls all surrounded Rose. At this moment, they could enjoy the joy of victory at home, but the Heat wanted to taste the bitter fruit.
Xie Chen stood where he was. Ever since he saw the basketball go into the basket, he remained motionless, his eyes darkened. Wade stepped forward and said, "Forget it, failure is only part of the series. Our duel with them is not over yet."
Xie Chen understands this truth, but he can't let himself accept the result as calmly as Wade. Xie Chen can accept the loss in the first game, but for such a crucial game, he worked hard for the whole game, and lost in the last three games. Seconds, Xie Chen is not reconciled!
In addition to being unwilling, Xie Chen still has a lot of self-blame.
"If it wasn't for me, maybe this game wouldn't be lost! In order to win the Cavaliers by surprise, I have been hiding Westbrook's breakthrough skills, but is it worth it? I let the team fall into the current situation!"
Xie Chen felt that he was to blame, because it was his inability to break through Jimmy Butler that caused the Bulls to catch up with the score in the last quarter. If it weren't for this, Rose wouldn't have had a chance to win the game!
Speaking of Jimmy Butler, he felt that he was the hero of the game. He was excellent both offensively and defensively throughout the game, and Rose just made the most critical goal. So when Rose was surrounded by many people, he Wasn't there, and wasn't consistently excited. But in any case, the Bulls win is always a good thing for him.
There was also laughter on the knight's side.
Dellavedova smiled and said: "Haha, it's another lore on the board! It's still a three-pointer! It's still in front of Xie! The Bulls are now leading 2 to 1. I am afraid that our opponent in the next round will not be the Heat, but the Bull!"
James also agrees with this point of view: "Yes, the Bulls have found a way to deal with Xie. Jimmy Butler is a very good defensive player. He knows how to limit Xie to the greatest extent. According to today's situation, the Heat will win again at most. One game, I predict the Bulls will beat the Heat 4:2 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals!"
James has turned into an ESPN analysis expert, and it would be great if he didn't meet his good brothers from his old club.
James watched the camera focus on the frustrated Xie Chen, smiled lightly, and said to himself, "What a pity, boy, you almost had the chance to fight me! Challenge me again next year!"
Xie Chen walked back to the locker room, and went back to the hotel to sleep alone after changing his clothes. Everyone could see that Xie Chen was very depressed. Coach Spoel told Wade to talk to him when he had time to comfort him. After all, Xie Chen was a member of the Heat. At the core, his self-confidence has a great influence on the entire team.
After losing the game, Xie Chen didn't even bother to pay attention to the results of other teams, and tonight, Stephen Curry had the same fate as him.
Curry's Warriors lost to the Grizzlies again. In this game, Curry only made 2 of 10 three-pointers, and Green made 1 of 6 three-pointers. The Warriors also encountered the same dilemma as the Heat.
Xie Chen woke up at two o'clock in the morning. He watched the neon lights in Chicago from the window, and was in a daze for a while. Then he went online and read the comments of the fans. Everyone was saying that the Heat might It's about to lose to the Bulls, and Xie Chen will end his first trip to the playoffs.
Xie Chen sighed: "Perhaps, it's time to show my cards..."
Xie Chen has one of the league's top abilities, that is Westbrook's breakthrough skills! After copying and upgrading, Xie Chen has not used it in the game, because he wants to keep this skill until he meets a knight.
If Westbrook's skills are used in the first game against the Cavaliers, the opponent's mentality will be confused, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Maybe Xie Chen can use this hole card to steal a game, win a game in the Eastern Conference finals, and advance to the finals. Just one more point!
But now the situation is completely different. The Bulls have already led 2-1, and the Bulls have found a way to limit Xie Chen. If the Bulls win another game and the score becomes 3-1, then Xie Chen will show Westbrook again. In terms of ability, the Heat may also lose to luck and lose to the Bulls! Xie Chen would never allow such an accident to happen!
"In the next game, in the next game, I will let Westbrook's breakthrough ability appear! Jimmy Butler? Huh, I will let you see how powerful the league's fastest first step is!"
"It's just..." Xie Chen thought of James and the Cavaliers, and still felt a little unwilling: "James, I originally planned to use this hole card when I met you. I hope you won't be too surprised or scared when you see it in the next game... ..."
Now that the fans are generally disappointed with Xie Chen and have no confidence, Xie Chen has to update the content on Weibo and Twitter to appease the fans who support him and not let them lose confidence.
Xie Chen wrote: "The next game starts, and you will see me who is the strongest this season!"
Once Sinaweibo and Twitter were posted, the number of retweets quickly exceeded 10,000, and Xie Chen's move quickly made the headlines of major sports pages.
Is it playing tricks or finally showing the strongest strength?
Everyone was full of curiosity, and all of a sudden, the focus of the NBA was on Xie Chen again!
Early the next morning, James received a message from his agent asking him to check Xie Chen's Twitter. After seeing it, James was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, forwarded it and typed a word: "Look forward!"
