Super All-around Point Guard

This is the first time in his career that rookie Josh Richardson has played in the playoffs. Although he is a second-round pick, he also had an outstanding performance as a substitute in the regular season and scored 22 points. In this series against the Knicks , he didn't get much playing time, so Richardson worked hard but was also a little nervous.

When he received the pass from his teammate, he was actually already on the sideline. If he hadn't been careful enough, he might have stepped on the line. He was even a little annoyed why he didn't run to the center, but even if he rushed forward, Xie Chen still chased after him, and with a slight stretch of his hand, Richardson was so frightened that he lost his balance.

Richardson was very nervous when he was forced by Xie Chen on the sideline. However, no one expected that at this moment, the bald referee Crawford also rushed over from the backcourt with such quick little steps. , people can't help but worry whether he will fall at any time in his old age.

On the basketball court, the referee follows the ball and people all the time, especially this kind of fast break that suddenly changes. It was in the other half just now, but the battlefield has shifted in an instant. The referee needs to observe the situation from the nearest position. , in order to make a judgment.

Referees are something that players must get used to, so Xie Chen should not be distracted by Crawford and focus all his energy on Richardson, but the last two whistles from Crawford were too targeted. He did it, and Richardson was so unbalanced that he was holding the ball with both hands and was afraid to shoot or pass. So, Xie Chen glanced at Crawford with his peripheral vision. This sight scared Xie Chen. broken.

"What kind of action is this!" Crawford was about to rush over, but Xie Chen found that Crawford actually spread his hands, as if he was going to push someone.

Now that Richardson has no one to push him, he may fall out of bounds if he gets nervous. Xie Chen is afraid that if Richardson falls, it will be counted as a foul. Otherwise, if there is such a good steal opportunity now, Xie Chen would have already He snatched the basketball away.

As long as he is pushed by Crawford, Richardson will definitely go out of bounds instantly. Even if he is not pushed, with Crawford's old "braking" ability and relying on inertia, he will rush between the two and will definitely be interested in this. Xie Chen's defense interfered to a great extent.

Crawford's reason for pushing Richardson is also easy to understand. He first pushed Richardson out of bounds, and then directly blew the whistle for a foul on Xie Chen, who was defending Richardson. Xie Chen committed three fouls in a single quarter. Being benched quickly would put the Knicks in crisis.

It may sound ridiculous, but that's the referee. How could the referee do such a thing? Maybe others can't, but this old guy Crawford can't do anything! And he has done this before! First push down the offensive player, and then put the blame on the defender. The one who was blamed at that time was Billups during the Pistons!

Xie Chen knew that this old guy was about to retire. What couldn't he do? So he responded decisively: he quickly took a big step back!

Fans all over the world were stunned. Xie Chen suddenly retreated in defense? why is that? Isn't this a clear opportunity for Richardson to shoot open? Didn't Xie Chen rush over so hard just to defend Richardson? Why did you let the other party go when it came to the situation?

Richardson has a good three-point shot, especially his recent three-point shooting. He was surprised to find Xie Chen suddenly retreating, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he immediately got up to shoot!

However, at this moment, Crawford rushed over!

The bald referee suddenly stopped. He almost slid over. He originally wanted to make some small moves in the small space between the two of them, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to suddenly retreat. Crawford didn't know what to do for a moment and froze in place. .

"It's not completely open! The referee is still standing in front of Richardson!"

I thought that Xie Chen's retreat would give Richardson a big opening, giving him the best chance to take action, but the referee's sudden arrival surprised everyone, and Richardson was also very angry. He was about to take action. The referee actually came over and seemed to have reached out just now. This startled Richardson, so Richardson did not take action immediately.

However, Crawford is not very tall and is a head shorter than Richardson. Richardson does not need to pay too much attention to him. The opportunity now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After hesitating, Richardson decided to take action. It happened that the referee At this time, he admitted his defeat, gave up his plan to blame Xie Chen, and walked away quickly.

As soon as Crawford left, Xie Chen rushed forward immediately. Richardson happened to jump to shoot, but Xie Chen made a volleyball-style block directly into the audience!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene!

"Hahaha, this ball is so funny. What does the referee want to do when he rushes over like this? He is indirectly covering Xie Chen!"

"I want to give the referee ten points for Xie Chen's block."

He perfectly avoided Crawford's plot and gave his opponent a big blow. Xie Chen was also overjoyed and couldn't help teasing his opponent: "I heard that you chose No. 0 because you admire me, but if you are delusional It would be naive to be me instead of me.”

Josh Richardson was very angry. He believed that the reason why the ball was blocked was entirely due to the referee. If the referee had not interfered immediately, he would have taken action long ago. How could it have been blocked?

"Is that what the referee should have done just now?" the young and energetic Richardson yelled at the referee.

Crawford was originally worried that Xie Chen would not be blamed this time, but when he heard another rookie player yelling at him, he immediately gave Richardson a whistle, which made Xie Chen laugh out loud.

It is simply stupid to argue with the referee in the playoffs!

Due to the restrictions imposed by Wade and the referees on Xie Chen, Xie Chen was no longer as crazy as in the previous games, and the game was no longer dominated by Xie Chen alone. By the fourth quarter, Xie Chen only scored 25 points. , and the score between the two sides has been tight.

There is no doubt that this was the Heat's most successful defense against Xie Chen, however, they also paid a very heavy price for it.

Wade committed six fouls just three minutes after entering the fourth quarter.

"Wade has committed a foul and left the game!"

The fans in the audience couldn't help but cheer for joy. Wade is the soul and pillar of the Heat. Without Wade, how can the Heat compete with the Knicks?

Indeed, Wade has defended Xie Chen very well. Judging from the past two games, Xie Chen has been allowed to score at least 20 points less so far. However, it still makes no sense just to restrict Xie Chen from winning in the end. Many people feel that Spoelstra has gambled too much this time!

"The Heat are now completely taken over by Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh. I don't take these two guys seriously." After Wade left the game, Xie Chen also relaxed a lot.

Although he knows that without Wade, the Heat's strength still cannot be underestimated, but Xie Chen is not afraid of such a team that has no "championship determination". The other two giants are not as tough as Wade. Xie Chen Confidence can easily defeat them and cause them to lose confidence.

After Wade left, Xie Chen quickly threw in a three-pointer, which announced the tone of the game in the next few minutes. Without the superstar, you just can't beat me.

Xie Chen really didn't have much desire to attack tonight, so the rest of the beating time was jointly contributed by Xie Chen and Anthony.

Facts have also proved that although Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh can shoulder the task of scoring, they are completely helpless about how to hold on to the score and how to get the team going. They can only let time pass slowly and the point difference is also slow. Expanded slowly, and in the end, lost the game.

The game between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks ended in a 2:2 draw!

Xie Chen fulfilled his promise to Phil Jackson.

Stephen Curry and LeBron James are also deeply aware that Xie Chen is still the most likely to be their next opponent. The battle with Xie Chen seemed unavoidable even if he wanted to.

At the same time, the game between the Spurs and the Thunder also ended after an overtime period. The Spurs and the Thunder also ended in a 2-2 draw.

After changing his clothes for the interview and having a late night snack and returning home, Xie Chen came to the basketball gym alone. He was going to test an ability, Stephen Curry's three-point ability.

Whenever Xie Chen copies an ability, he will conduct various trials to understand the ability he possesses. In fact, Xie Chen also tested Stephen Curry's three-point ability, but the test was last season. Copied S-level abilities, but after being promoted to SS, Xie Chen did not have a particularly comprehensive trial. He thought that some abilities were exactly the same as in the past.

Xie Chen walked to the three-point line at the top of the arc with the ball and recalled the scene of tonight's game: "Wade specifically let me shoot in this position tonight, as if he knew that my shooting rate here is not high. Could it be that this Isn't Stephen Curry good at positioning? No, even if I retreat to the LOGO area now, the shooting rate should be very good. I have tested it."

With doubts, Xie Chen tried to shoot at the top of the arc closest to the three-point line. He made 20 shots, and then took two steps back to shoot. He was surprised to find that the further away from the basket, the longer the three-pointer. It’s even more accurate!

"Oh my god... there is such a thing!" Xie Chen was really surprised. He knew that Stephen Curry's long-range three-pointers were getting more and more accurate, but he didn't expect that they were even more accurate than close-range three-pointers!

"This guy Curry probably only practiced ultra-long three-pointers in the past period, and neglected the short-range three-pointers, especially at the top of the arc. It's no wonder that as the organizer of the team, he can't do anything here. There may be an opportunity to take an open shot, and if he needs to dribble away from the shot, like me, he likes to be on the left and right sides, not in the middle."

"But...how did Wade know about such a thing?"

Xie Chen fell into curiosity and became a little cautious. The more abilities Xie Chen exposed, the more likely he was to be suspected. But for the sake of the championship, he had to bring out his strongest strength. Otherwise, the Knicks would be There is no way that such a lineup can reach the finals.

Xie Chen sighed: "I am going to Miami again in the next game, and I have to challenge the legendary team again. Who will I meet this time? Will it still be the Heat's Big Three? Or will there be my new Heat Big Three? In short, It must be an opponent that is not easy to deal with. If we lose again in the away game, we will really be questioned..."

After winning at home, Xie Chen did not feel too relaxed because the next away trip worried him. He lost the first two away games. Although he won a legendary challenge, he only scored a decisive victory at the last moment. If you win, you may not be so lucky next time. If you lose as long as you play away games, then the one who advances must be the Miami Heat, who have home court advantage.

The next day, in the Western Conference semifinals, the Golden State Warriors challenged the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors did not give the Clippers a chance to draw 2:2. Curry was once again invincible, turning the score into 3:1.

The current league structure is that there is Xie Chen in the East and Curry in the West. Both of them are crazy and phenomenal players. And one thing that is very unbearable is that they can be said to be the most improved players this season.

You know, how strong they were last season! Last season, Xie Chen and Curry's MVPs could be said to be evenly divided. Both of them can be called MVPs. Can they make more outstanding progress after winning the MVP? This is unique in history.

WS, win shares, is a data that measures whether a player is worth the money. Last season, Curry's WS was 15.7, this season it is 18.7. Of course, the WS increased by 3 points, which is definitely not the highest in the league. Curry's WS is 15.7. It is absolutely impossible to get any so-called most improved player here. However, you must know that other players' WS has improved mostly because they themselves are very low, while Curry has reached a very high position. Curry and Xie Chen have both improved this season. It is the continued promotion from the top players in the league to even more top players. This is what makes them scary.

After watching this game, Xie Chen was very fortunate that the league still had a star that people could understand, which at least made him not look too unique.

As for the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, there is still no suspense. James will not give the Bulls any chance to counterattack. 3:1. It is estimated that the next game will end this series.

The Knicks team soon flew to Miami again. After losing two games in a row in Miami, everyone was under pressure when they returned here. Many fans also believed that the American Airlines Arena was a blessed place for the Heat. As long as they could Guaranteed to win at home, the Heat will advance in the end.

When training in Miami, Xie Chen still focused on practicing his "secret weapons". Once he loses his ability, these are the keys to saving the team.

However, when Anthony saw it, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you, you look quite relaxed, you keep doing these difficult moves."

Xie Chen smiled bitterly and said nothing. Perhaps Xie Chen was the one under the greatest pressure in the team.

Anthony suddenly became serious and said: "This fifth game is really important to us. Once we lose this game, with Wade's personality, you know, we can advance if we win the next game." Under the circumstances, he will never let us go."
