Super All-around Point Guard

Blatter had too much to say to the media and fans. Ordinary people will never know the truth of the matter, so he could only vent to Xie Chen.

As a result, Xie Chen felt much more comfortable, at least he no longer felt any guilt towards him.

In the past few days, the topic of James and the Cavaliers changing coaches has been constant. James seemed to be in a bad mood and in poor condition because of the accusations. He performed averagely in the second game coached by Tyronn Lue. The Cavaliers Lost another game.

Coincidentally, the Raptors maintained a complete victory in these two games. There are not many wins between the two teams. If this continues, by April, the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference will change hands. It is a pity that the Raptors The whole team was still unaware.

The Knicks will go to Chicago to challenge the Bulls in their next game. After challenging the Bulls in Chicago, the two teams will return to the Knicks' home court for another game. In these two consecutive games against the Bulls, Xie Chen thought Take them all down!

Winning the Bulls is of great significance. The Bulls are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference. If they are ranked according to their current ranking, they will play the Pacers in the first round. Xie Chen does not think the current Pacers can defeat the Chicago Bulls within seven games. Xie Chen hopes that the Bulls' record will drop to fourth and then play the Miami Heat in the first round. If the two teams meet, no matter who wins, for Xie Chen, it will be the elimination of a powerful legend for himself. opponent.

In addition to trying his best to give the Bulls two consecutive losses, Xie Chen also has a very important task in Chicago, which is to copy Michael Jordan's layup skills!

Among the current offensive methods, dunk ability is SS level, fadeaway jump shot is SS level, and three-point long shot is SS level. Xie Chen is only one SS behind the layup ability. This aspect of offense can be called almost perfect! Michael Jordan's layup ability must reach the SS level. Of course, it also depends on which year he meets Jordan. If he meets Jordan in his last year with the Bulls, Xie Chen will also choose to give up.

Before coming to Chicago, Xie Chen had been praying that he would meet Jordan during the first three consecutive championships. Jordan's layup ability would play a huge role in the playoffs.

Coming to the United Center again, the atmosphere here is already a bit like the playoffs. The New York Knicks who are challenging today are likely to become a roadblock for the Bulls to advance to the finals, and these two teams will play two games in a row, so Many Bulls fans have a hostile attitude towards the Knicks, and I believe boos will be inevitable later on.

However, Xie Chen and Rose have a good relationship. From the first time Xie Chen took the initiative to challenge Rose at the Bulls training facility, they had to fight each other every time they met. But when they met, Rose was still the well-deserved boss of the Bulls. Now this team The team has changed its leader.

"Long time no see, buddy." Rose and Xie Chen were chatting before the game. Jimmy Butler stood behind him and did not say hello to Xie Chen. The conflict between the two All-Stars continues to this day. I believe that in the playoffs, there will be More intense.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "You look good."

Rose smiled: "Of course, the coach of our biggest rival in the Eastern Conference has changed at this time. This is definitely good news for us. Who knows what Tyronn Lue will lead the Cavaliers into. If we face the Cavaliers, maybe we will There is a better chance of winning. However, I still don’t understand what happened inside them, do you understand?”

The Bulls will never meet the Knicks in the first round, so they pay less attention to the Knicks and will not see the tricks in Xie Chen's recent games. However, Xie Chen also needs to tell Rose this: "I also I don’t know, but Blatt has never been supported, and he will be fired sooner or later. You seem to be very confident in the Cavaliers. That’s great. You can deal with them. Then we will deal with you. Make it to the finals.”

Rose laughed and said: "I am also happy to help you deal with the Cavaliers, but judging from the current rankings, if all three of our teams advance in the first round, the Cavaliers will encounter you in the semi-finals, not We, it seems like I have no chance with LeBron."

Xie Chen sighed and shook his head. It would be great if the knight could really meet the bull. Xie Chen was afraid of the bull, not the knight, and the knight would definitely be able to eliminate the bull. By then, everything would be simple...

Before the game, Xie Chen encouraged the whole team to win this game. There is not much time left in the regular season, and they must win every game.

Xie Chen played a leadership role, intercepting Rose as soon as he came up, and then quickly rushed to the basket and dunked.

Rose was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xie Chen to play so seriously when he first came up. Rose said to Xie Chen, "It's rare that you are so excited today."

Xie Chen helplessly replied: "There is no way, time is running out, we must win every game. You also know that we are currently ranked eighth, and we don't want to face the Cavaliers in the first round."

Rose has no reason not to be convinced by this reason. The entire team knows that the Knicks will make every effort to avoid the Cavaliers, so they were prepared for this before the game started.

A well-off man will not work hard for a bun with a beggar. Everyone in the Knicks knows the importance of winning, so they have a fierce offensive. The only one who doesn't want to lose at any cost is Jimmy. Butler alone.

Butler has a strong hostility towards Xie Chen. During the All-Star Game, the two had a bad relationship. Jimmy Butler wanted the AMVP very much, but unfortunately Xie Chen couldn't grant it to him. This made Butler always hold a grudge. He knew The Knicks want to win every game now, because the Knicks have not yet secured their position in the playoffs, and Butler wants the Knicks to lose. Even if there is only a one percent chance that the Knicks will not make the playoffs, he will Do it this way.

Under Jimmy Butler's tough resistance, the Chicago Bulls clung to the score all the way, which put a lot of pressure on the Knicks because each of them had played their best.

"Jimmy Butler has to stop it." Xie Chen pinched his waist and looked at Jimmy Butler, whose hands felt hot. Butler scored 15 points in the first quarter alone.

Just when Xie Chen wanted to keep an eye on Jimmy Butler himself, Fisher replaced Ci Shiping to focus on Butler.

Fisher said to Ci Shiping: "Xie really wants to win this game today. Go up and help him. Jimmy Butler can't score so easily anymore."

The signing of Ci Shiping was based on his iron-blooded defense, but after all, he is no longer at his peak, especially because his speed is difficult to keep up with Jimmy Butler or other No. 3 positions, so generally when using Ci Shiping, it is not really The main purpose of Ci Shiping's defense is to use another method to make the opponent uncomfortable.

When Bulls head coach Hoiberg saw Fisher asking Ci Shiping to defend Jimmy Butler, he suddenly panicked: "What does he mean by sending this guy? Don't hurt my ace."

Ci Shiping went there just to disgust Jimmy Butler. As soon as he came on the court, he stood close to Jimmy Butler and provoked him: "Boy, you are very arrogant today. Unfortunately, from now on, your personal performance time is over. I have a There are hundreds of ways to prevent you from being killed, but look, your shoelaces are untied."

Jimmy Butler looked down and was so angry that he pushed Ci Shiping: "Get out of here!"

The referee blew the whistle, but unexpectedly when Ci Shiping came up, he didn't foul himself. Instead, Jimmy Butler got a foul first.

Xie Chen looked on and smiled. With a defender like Ci Shiping, I believe Jimmy Butler will not have an easy time in the future. This is Xie Chen's opportunity to expand the score.

Xie Chen quickly shot a three-pointer. Jimmy Butler was impatient and was about to return a three-pointer. Ci Shiping noticed it in advance and pushed it towards Butler's stomach. Jimmy Butler didn't even shoot. He was knocked down by Ci Shiping.

Afterwards, Ci Shiping consciously stretched out his hand.

However, Jimmy Butler was unwilling to give up and wanted to argue with Ci Shiping. Gasol was hugging him from behind, while Rose stood aside and said nothing.

Xie Chen walked up to Ross and said, "The new boss of Fengcheng doesn't have very good self-control. How can he be so easy to get angry?"

Rose chuckled lightly, without words.

In fact, as far as three-pointers are concerned, both Rose and Jimmy Butler are weak. Rose's three-pointers have never been very good. Of course, from time to time, he will hit a three-pointer at the last moment with a stroke of genius, but the hit The rate is only 24%. Therefore, in this small ball era, Jimmy Butler's three-pointer is particularly important to the Bulls. Just like last season, Wade's three-pointer may not be good, but there must be a three-pointer. If Xie Chen doesn't have three-point ability, he might not be able to defeat the Warriors.

However, Jimmy Butler's three-point shooting percentage is only 32%. Once the outside shot is inaccurate, the opponent will feel confident to shrink the inside when defending the backcourt partner, and will be more cautious when facing their pick-and-roll. It is easy to choose a defensive method, which makes Pau Gasol's life even more difficult. Although the Bulls have a good record, statistics show that the Bulls are the team with the worst basket shooting percentage in the NBA after the Los Angeles Lakers.

In addition, the problem between Jimmy Butler and Rose is that they are accustomed to attacking the area. They both like to attack on the left side, and they have the highest shooting percentage together. Their average assists per game are even the same. of.

Coupled with the subtle relationship between Rose and Jimmy Butler, Xie Chen can also see that the relationship is not good, even worse than the second son of the Thunder. Therefore, the Chicago Bulls will definitely undergo big changes next season, and Jimmy Butler may really will leave the Windy City and choose the Los Angeles Lakers.

Under Ci Shiping's disgusting defense, Jimmy Butler's shooting percentage was really terrible. He only scored 7 points in the entire second quarter, and most of them were scored at the free throw line. In the third quarter, Ci Shiping also lost. Not small, he has already committed six fouls, but during this period of time, Jimmy Butler has lost a layer of his skin.

"This bastard is finally over." Jimmy Butler finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ci Shiping commit six fouls and leave the game. In the past quarter or so, he had spent all his energy fighting against Ci Shiping. Just to get Ci Shiping away, now my arms and legs are hurting from fighting with Ci Shiping!

"Huh..." Jimmy Butler gasped. Unexpectedly, another person came in front of him, Xie Chen.

"It's my turn now." Xie Chen said to Jimmy Butler with a smile.

When Coach Hoiberg saw this, he really wanted to scold the Knicks for being shameless and asking Ci Shiping and Xie Chen to take turns torturing Jimmy Butler. What did it mean? Hoiberg also doesn't understand why Jimmy Butler insists on winning the ball in an ordinary regular season. The Knicks obviously don't want to let go of this ball. In this case, let it be given to them. We are not in good shape anyway. , it would cost too much to win.

Jimmy Butler was almost dead from exhaustion and finally took a breather. Unexpectedly, Ci Shiping left and Xie Chen came up again! Xie Chen wanted to defend Jimmy Butler one-on-one with him!

Of course, Jimmy Butler couldn't show weakness in front of Xie Chen. He immediately straightened up, showing his only height advantage over Xie Chen: "Haha, I have killed that madman. Very good. Here comes another one. Then Let you know how good I am! No one of you can guard me! I will score 50 points tonight!"

"Don't brag too soon." Xie Chen said with a smile, then pointed downward: "Look, your shoelaces are untied again."

Jimmy Butler was stunned for a moment, what's going on! JR Smith only takes off his shoelaces when others are taking free throws. When did you two do it?

"You...you are such a shameless person and you don't deserve any MVP trophy!" Jimmy Butler yelled angrily, then obediently bent down to tie his shoelaces tightly.

Next, Xie Chen defended Jimmy Butler one-on-one. On the first ball, Jimmy Butler wanted to use his height and strength to bully Xie Chen and hit Xie Chen forcefully. Unfortunately, Xie Chen suddenly knocked the ball out of bounds from behind him. , Xie Chen’s steal is no joke.

Jimmy Butler changed his style of play, not relying solely on his body, leaning against Xie Chen, and then used his speed to get rid of Xie Chen, and then chose to make a pull-up jumper.

How can Jimmy Butler's speed get rid of Xie Chen? He really took it for granted. Xie Chen was among the top three players in blocks per game this season and was the most powerful among defenders. As soon as Butler took the ball, Xie Chen blocked it, and Butler picked it up again immediately. The blocked ball was shot backwards again, bang! Hatred again!

Xie Chen blocked Jimmy Butler twice!

This time, Xie Chen did not give Jimmy Butler another chance to grab the ball. He grabbed the ball and ran forward. Jimmy Butler was blocked twice in a row. He was unconvinced and insisted on finding one back. He followed Xie Chen all the way. Morning rush, Butler's speed has been slowed down a lot by Ci Shiping, but Xie Chen deliberately slowed down and waited for Butler to catch up, and then used LeBron James' layup ability!

Xie Chen deliberately made physical contact with Jimmy Butler, and then scored the ball after luring Butler to reach out.

2+1!

This was Jimmy Butler's fourth foul.

"Damn it, I've committed four fouls. The coach is going to replace me. Before I leave the field, I have to untie Xie's shoelaces once to vent my anger!" Jimmy Butler thought this way.

And then he actually did it.

Unfortunately, the referee gave him his fifth foul in an instant.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
