Super All-around Point Guard

Rookies cannot be rampant on the court and are not allowed. If Xie Chen had dunked the ball just now, even if it was Jordan Jordan, they would not have the idea of ​​​​teaching him a lesson, because people have already recognized it. Xie Chen's status and strength, but Porzingis is not good enough, the Clippers guys will not allow this white man to be so arrogant.

Jordan has already dunked Porzingis, and now Griffin wants to come in for a second wave, hoping to completely destroy the confidence of the rookie insider, trying to leave a little shadow on him, so that he will naturally have a problem the next time they meet again. A feeling of fear.

The tacit understanding between Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan is good enough. No need for words to explain, the three of them will cooperate to put on a good show. If Griffin wants to humiliate Porzingis, he still needs to pass Paul's pass. With the ball in series, Paul always has an excellent overall view. He can understand the opponent's defense, put Griffin in the right position, and then hand the ball to him immediately, so that he can easily and directly face the wave. Erzingis.

However, although he knew that Paul was the starting point, Paul's pass was too difficult to intercept. Xie Chen's stealing ability was Paul's, and it was impossible to be faster than him. Moreover, with Paul's caution and cunning, it was impossible to let his opponent easily Cut off the pass, otherwise, he would not have been the best point guard in the league for so many years with his height of 183cm.

Xie Chen handed it over to Porzingis, but was still worried about him. Xie Chen didn’t want Porzingis to be humiliated again. As the big brother of the team, Xie Chen needs to pay attention to the situation on the court at all times and be ready to stand up and help his younger brother. Rescue.

At the beginning, Paul was making noises, disrupting the Knicks' defensive attention, and making mid-range shots on his own. But soon, Paul and Griffin cooperated in a pick-and-roll. Paul walked to the left, and Griffin followed. At this time, Paul passed a ground pass to Griffin!

Paul's pass was so fast that Xie Chen couldn't intercept it. After Griffin received the basketball, he took two big steps and flew directly to the basket!

Porzingis is standing under the basket!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath. Is the team's rookie going to be humiliated again? With Porzingis's physical confrontation ability, he will definitely not be able to withstand Griffin. He has already proved it well against Jordan just now.

"Welcome to the NBA!" Griffin was flying in the air and had already thought of his next lines.

At this moment, Xie Chen jumped up from the left, went straight to Griffin, and used Griffin's shot-blocking ability. The two collided, evenly matched, and both fell to the ground.

The referee called Xie Chen for a defensive foul.

There was a false alarm at the scene, and I was secretly glad that Xie Chen showed up in time, otherwise Porzingis would have been dunked again. As a defender, he could stop Griffin. There are only people in the league who can do this, and people who dare to do this. , no one except Xie Chen, not even Westbrook, who is known for his fierceness and fearlessness, has never seen him do such a thing.

Griffin knew that Xie Chen was very fierce when blocking shots, but he did not expect that Xie Chen would stop the ball immediately. After getting up, he muttered to Xie Chen very unhappy: "I really hate you blocking shots."

Xie Chen smiled and said: "If you like it, just like it. I'm afraid you will hate it even more in the future."

If Xie Chen copied Dwight Howard's shot-blocking ability in the future, and then faced Griffin, it would not be a close match, but a small victory.

The Clippers' plan to teach the newcomers a lesson failed and they tried to focus on scoring. Unexpectedly, the Knicks scored far more fiercely than they did.

Xie Chen is still as domineering as ever, shooting from outside the three-point line. As long as there is room to shoot, it doesn't matter who is defending you or whether there are teammates under the basket to rebound. He is too confident in his three-point ability, and the Clippers The team did not have anyone who could guard Xie Chen. Paul was too short, and JJ Redick was not tall either, and his steps were slower than Xie Chen. Whether Xie Chen was sudden or shooting, the two of them together could not stop him. What's terrible is that Xie Chen's hit rate is extremely high from the beginning, and he rarely misses.

Xie Chen was a bug for the Clippers, and Anthony, who had just come back, also dealt a lot of blows to his opponents. When Xie Chen was holding the ball, Anthony started running around. As long as Anthony had a suitable opportunity, Xie Chen would He will pass the ball out quickly. Anthony also makes three-pointers one after another. He has a good touch. The Clippers often cannot follow to the outside to defend Anthony. Once they pull out, Anthony will quickly accelerate or make an emergency stop. Shoot, or go straight to the basket and score.

The super offensive abilities of Xie Chen and Anthony overwhelmed the Clippers and gave Rivers a headache.

As they found confidence in their offense, the Knicks' defense became more and more focused. Xie Chen reminded his teammates that they were the team that couldn't score a single point in a single quarter in the last game! How can you allow your opponent to score so many points!

In fact, the Clippers didn't score many points, and after Xie Chen's call, it became more difficult for them to score.

Then, Rivers started to have a headache again. The Clippers, who now desperately need to score to catch up with their opponents, couldn't score!

Paul was strangled by Xie Chen alone and could only pass the ball. Blake Griffin, whom the team has always relied on, is actually more like an all-around warrior. At this time, he is not very sure of scoring. , and usually chooses mid-range shots. Lopez has no other achievements, but his defense is still good. He will not allow Griffin to shoot easily.

This is also a problem that the Clippers have always had. At the most critical moment, when no one can open up the situation, who will stand up?

It was Paul who played the Spurs in Game 7 of the playoffs last season, but Paul's height and age meant that he would never be able to rely on him, let alone facing a super defender like Xie Chen.

In Paul's heart, the defender he has always been most afraid of is Xie Chen, because Xie Chen is extremely fast and can complete steals with a very low center of gravity. Paul's center of gravity when dribbling is very low, and generally speaking, he is not afraid of his opponent's steals. But facing Xie Chen, you have to be careful. It is even more difficult to break through Xie Chen. Xie Chen will give you a chance to shoot, but Xie Chen's jumping and height will cause too much interference to Paul. Paul also He doesn't know how to shoot fadeaways like Xie Chen, so he is basically blocked by Xie Chen.

The Clippers also have players who can play in isolation, including Crawford, Paul Pierce, and even Stephenson, but it is impossible for these few people to save the team. Among them, Pierce is the only one who is more reliable. Rivers coaches Kyle. When the team was in trouble, Pierce played such a role. When the team couldn't open up the situation, Pierce singled out, but now Pierce no longer has that ability.

The Knicks led the Clippers by 14 points in a single quarter, continuing to show the momentum of a super strong team. Those who originally wanted to see the Knicks be humiliated by the Clippers were disappointed. Judging from the first quarter, let alone the Clippers. It would be nice to humiliate the Knicks and ensure that you won't be humiliated.

However, as soon as the second quarter started, the Clippers' second team performed very well, especially Stephenson.

It's hard to figure out what Lance is thinking in his heart. He stayed with the Pacers, went to the Hornets, and now comes to the Clippers. The Clippers are indeed a team that can compete for the championship. But there is no place for him here. It will take too long to integrate. Lance's statistics this season are the lowest in his career since joining the Pacers in 2012-2013. He has made sacrifices, but he still can't see it. Until something good happens.

Lance always has a flash of passing. Facing the Knicks' substitutes, he plays more calmly because the Knicks' second team is so bad. He seems to be dancing with the ball and passes the defender. When people thought he was about to go for a layup, he suddenly passed the ball without looking at anyone and passed it to his teammates. After that, he still jumped and passed the ball to Josh for a three-pointer. Under his leadership, the score actually got closer and closer. Getting closer.

After a while, the main players of both sides came on the court, but Stephenson was still left on the court. Xie Chen greeted his old friend as soon as he came up: "You played well, Lance, you seem to have found your own rhythm."

Lance smiled proudly: "Of course, a smart person like me can shine wherever he goes!"

Xie Chen liked the confident Lance very much and said with a smile: "If you hadn't left the Pacers, maybe you would have shined even brighter than now. Look how well Paul George has led this team. If you were here, maybe the results would be better." Even better, you may still be a triple-double machine. However, you are a bit like me in changing places every year. Do you want to join us next year?"

Stephenson made that iconic silly expression, rolled his eyes, and left quickly. He wanted me to fall into the trap, but I'm not that stupid! But if you think about it carefully, it's not bad to follow Xie Chen. At least the championship will be secured.

Stephenson didn't know whether Xie Chen's invitation was intentional or casual, but he took it seriously. He then took the initiative to defend Xie Chen and whispered to him whenever he had the chance.

"Thank you, how about we make a bet? If you can win the championship this year, then I will go to your place unconditionally next season, as long as you are willing to have me!" Stephenson said.

Xie Chen paused for a moment. What he just said was really a bit of a joke, but since Stephenson said that, Xie Chen should agree first.

Next, Stephenson saw the terrifying strength of his future teammates!

The Clippers wanted to catch up with the score in this quarter, or at least maintain the score to end the first half, but unexpectedly, Xie Chen's versatility was fully demonstrated in this quarter.

Of course, the offense is needless to say. Lance has a good height, but he is still helpless against Xie Chen's Jordan-style fadeaway jumper. What is terrible is Xie Chen's defense. He made two steals in succession, and then he dunked in a fast break. , detonating the scene.

Then, he and Porzingis performed block shots one after another. Both of them sent two blocks in this quarter, three of which were for Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

The Knicks' defense frightened the Clippers, especially the damage Xie Chen caused to the Clippers. It was too serious. The Clippers fell behind by 23 points at half quarter. Although there was still a chance, everyone could see it. , victory is on the Knicks' side.

During halftime, Paul walked into the locker room and started yelling. Pierce also stood up and said a lot. Rivers, who has always been serious, naturally had a lot of words, but they were all the same and did nothing to encourage the team and help the players. sexual help.

In fact, after McHale was fired, the person who should be most worried about his position as coach was Clippers coach Rivers. McHale took the blame for the Rockets' loss, but everyone knows that McHale should not be blamed. Dwight Howard, known as the "league's number one center", was pulled out. What did you do? What about the promised dominance? Where have they all gone? Now, Cousins, Drummond, DeAndre Jordan, Big White and even the Knicks' rookie Porzingis have all produced eye-catching statistics, but the league's number one center has not done better than them.

James Harden is also the target of many people's criticism, perhaps because of his personal life and disobedience to discipline. However, Doc Rivers doesn’t have any players who hang out in nightclubs or don’t listen to discipline, nor do they have lazy guys who don’t work hard on defense. Paul and Griffin are both positive stars who lead by example, and they are both very rare. A good leader, the team is united and harmonious, he has both talent and attitude.

But such a talented and positive team has been repeatedly reversed by its opponents despite having an advantage.

Rivers' ability to adapt is very criticized, especially double-teaming Curry and Xie Chen, causing other open positions to be attacked one after another. When the opponent was chasing points frantically, Rivers did nothing until he was about to be defeated by the opponent. After the game collapsed, he remembered to call a timeout. During the timeout, he couldn't say anything useful. After returning from the timeout, he continued to make the same old mistakes.

Indeed, Rivers has a glorious record. He led the Celtics to win the championship. Not only that, he also coached the Celtics for 9 seasons and won 416 games, the third highest score in team history. He is also the fourth Celtics coach to win Coach of the Year.

However, it must be said that the Celtics won the championship thanks to the strength of their three giants and their unwillingness to admit defeat. At first, the Celtics were strongest in defense. However, the person in charge of the Celtics' defense at that time was the famous Xibo in the future. Du, so that championship may not have much to do with Rivers.

Moreover, Rivers is the first head coach in NBA history to twice take a 3:1 lead in the playoffs but then suffer a reversal. One of them, everyone still remembers, was against the Rockets in the playoffs last year, and the other time was The Magic where Tracy McGrady was back then.

McGrady was at his peak that year, scoring 43 points in the first game and 46 points in the second game. After four games, he had won three games. McGrady confidently said, "I have to consider my next opponent." Then, the Magic lost three games in a row. Rivers was also fired by the Magic the next season.

From the coach to the players, the Clippers give people a feeling of uneasiness. This is why Xie Chen does not take the Clippers seriously. In this game, Xie Chen and Anthony scored 89 points together, another big victory. opponent.

After Xie Chen came back, the Knicks won two consecutive games, all of which were big wins. People began to look forward to what a crazy rebound the Knicks would usher in after a losing streak!
