Super All-around Point Guard

New York, the night before Game 6 between the Heat and Knicks.

Hassan Whiteside took the initiative to find Wade's room.

"Boss, did Xie send you a message? He told me that he wanted to say goodbye to us here. He wanted to end this series in New York!" Whiteside said to Wade excitedly as soon as he came in.

Wade nodded and said with a smile: "I also received the exact same message. It seems that he really intends to deal with us tomorrow. According to what I know about him, he will indeed do so. Ha. Sang, the Raptors, who are number one in the Eastern Conference, were swept out 4-0. We still won at least two games. It’s not a shame to be eliminated like this. It’s just that he gave us the illusion that we would win at the beginning, which made us excited in vain. These days."

Hassan found a chair and sat down, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said again and again: "You are right, I even thought that Xie deliberately let the water out and lost to us in the first two games? Boss, what if Tomorrow is our last game of the season, and tomorrow is the official end of the season for us, so I really want to ask you, if you really lose tomorrow, what are your plans?"

Wade didn't expect that Hassan came over to ask him about his offseason plans, and deliberately pretended not to understand: "What are you referring to?"

Hassan didn't have the patience to go around with Wade and said directly: "You know what I want to say. You stayed in Miami with a contract of 20 million a year last year. My two-year minimum salary contract after joining the Heat will also be here." Summer is over and we are in the same situation, so I would like to discuss with you, will you leave Miami?"

Hearing Hassan's question so bluntly, Wade couldn't help but chuckle: "I really feel helpless to be friends with a simple guy like you. At least LeBron won't tell me this frankly before he leaves. , in that case, okay, let’s talk. I guess you really want to leave the Heat and go to Xie’s team, right?”

Hassan Whiteside nodded without hesitation: "You know, I have never gotten along well with these guys. Since joining the Heat, I have only had a good relationship with you and Xie. Xie has left. If If you leave again, what's the point of me being alone in the Heat? Coach Spoelstra doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. I can't bear Riley's training methods. Besides, staying in the Heat is not as good as having a future with Xie. Xie is a A rare guy, with him, maybe I will win 4 or 5 more championships in the future, not to mention, he is my brother, and from the day he left the Heat, I have decided to leave."

Nowadays, people like to play brother basketball. Wade is the first person to play brother basketball. Of course, he also knows how easy it is to win championships with players like Xie Chen as teammates, but he poured cold water on Hassan: "Brother , I have to tell you, with Xie’s current ability, he doesn’t necessarily need you particularly. As for me, of course I want to stay in the Heat, just like Kobe, stay with a team until I retire.”

Of course Hassan understands his feelings. Wade has been with the Heat for such a long time and has already become a symbol of the Heat. Who doesn't want him to stay forever.

"But we all know that Pat Riley will not show much sincerity to you. They will not treat you like the Lakers did to Kobe. So, you will either choose to sacrifice or leave, if you are destined to leave. , If you want to think about it, we can unite with Xie again, just like we did in the first season." After saying these words, Hassan left.

"Just like the first season." Wade wanted that beautiful picture to appear again, but unfortunately he knew it was impossible. No matter whether Xie Chen was in the New York Knicks or on another team, the three of them would get together. The chances of being together are slim. Wade has won enough championships. Now... he wants money.

…

The sixth game between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks has finally begun. No matter whether the Heat win or lose today, no one expected this result. I thought it would be easier to deal with the Knicks, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. They did not expect that the Heat would bring such a big trouble to Xie Chen and the Knicks. Xie Chen tried his best in almost every game to ensure three wins. The Heat undoubtedly forced the strongest Xie Chen out.

After entering the court, Wade saw Xie Chen, and Xie Chen also smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"I've seen your news, are you so confident? Or do you think we can't have any secret weapons against you?" Wade said with a smile.

Xie Chen said modestly: "It's because I don't dare to return to your home court to play, so I want to do my best to deal with you here. New York is a more suitable place to say goodbye than Miami, isn't it?"

Wade smiled and said nothing. He also knew very well that with Xie Chen's personality, it would be too difficult for the Heat to win. After this game, for Wade, the season was officially over. Where to go next? , is there still a chance to enter the playoffs again at this time next year, is there still a chance to face Xie Chen in the playoffs again? Wade is no longer sure. He knows that this next game may very well be the last time he plays against Xie Chen in the playoffs in his entire career. Even if he has the chance to meet again in a few years, Wade at that time will not He can no longer be called a good opponent of Xie Chen.

This moment is the best moment in life!

Wade gave Xie Chen a deep hug: "No matter what, enjoy this game!"

Xie Chen did not have Wade's understanding and realm. He could not understand a veteran's mood at the moment and his fear of uncertainty about the future. However, he also knew that this game, the last game of the series, was a huge blow to Wade. , very important.

"After this season, Wade will talk to the Heat about renewing his contract. They only renewed Wade's contract for one year last year. They want to see Wade's condition before making a decision. Wade's regular season performance this season is average. , his performance in the playoffs is not as good as last year. In the last game, I will try my best to let him perform better on the premise of winning. Wade, he should stay with the Heat, no one should stay with the Heat more than him Heat.”

As Wade's brother, Xie Chen naturally understands Wade's mood. After staying in the same team for so long, who is willing to leave his hometown and work part-time in other cities when he is no longer at his peak? As a superstar, this is really too miserable. He saw what O'Neal was like later, he saw what Karl Malone was like later, and he also saw what Kobe was like this year. He wanted to become a legend in a city like Kobe.

The premise for Pat Riley to show sincerity in renewing Wade's contract is that Wade performs well enough, and Xie Chen wants to help him and win games.

For the Heat, this game is a matter of life and death. For the Knicks, even if they lose, there is still one game to play, so the mental states of the players of the two teams are different. The Heat are defensively I tried my best.

Wade stayed close to Xie Chen, preventing him from shooting outside the three-point line, and switched defenses as soon as the screen was covered. Even if it was Hassan Whiteside, he knew that Xie Chen would definitely end the game in a ruthless and cold-blooded way, so he tried his best to defend .

The Heat are really good at defending three-pointers, and Xie Chen's Curry three-pointers have a hit rate that is the lowest since the game was copied. Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't make many shots, and still focused on breakthroughs, attacking the Heat's inside line. Kill.

The Heat's offense is also very clear, which is to play inside. Hassan Whiteside has a strong enough advantage against the Knicks in the inside. You can see the gap between the two teams from the rebounds in this game, offensive rebounds The Heat almost grabbed one ball after another, and the Knicks couldn't even do anything about it.

We need to work more on the areas where Xie Chen can’t do anything. This is what Pat Riley told Coach Spoelstra to do. Rebounding is one area where Xie Chen can’t do anything. Although Xie Chen’s ability to grab rebounds is not bad, and he takes off continuously. He is very capable, but rebounding is still a competition for inside players. Xie Chen cannot be in such a good position every time.

The Heat took the lead at the start, which was not what Xie Chen expected to see. If Xie Chen wanted to "help" Wade in the way of his opponent, he had to do it when he had a complete lead, so Xie Chen had to A crazy stage is about to begin.

Since Hassan Whiteside is the core of the Heat's offense tonight, Xie Chen should let him foul a few more times first. It just so happens that the current defense of the Heat is still to guard against Xie Chen's outside three-pointers. It is very tight. It is easy for Xie Chen to break through. Even the few people in front of him can't stop Xie Chen. Once James' layup ability is activated, Xie Chen only has baskets in his eyes. basket.

In this layup, Xie Chen did a good job of tricking Hassan into committing a foul. Then, after evading Hassan's defense, Gao Gao threw the ball toward the backboard, just like he had done in special training before, Gao Gao In an arc, the basketball slowly falls from the top of the backboard, and finally falls into the net.

2+1!

The whole audience cheered!

"After being fouled by Hassan Whiteside, he was able to score a layup. This is really not something ordinary people can do!" Many Heat fans also praised them, even though they knew that Hassan and Xie Chen were good brothers. I never believed that Hassan would show mercy in such a game.

Hassan also felt helpless. He tried his best to defend Xie Chen, but he still scored. It can only be said that Xie Chen has become stronger than last year.

Wade then stepped forward to remind Hassan: "Be careful with the number of fouls."

Hassan is the most important card for the Heat to win tonight. As long as Hassan Whiteside is on the court, whether it is defense or offense, whether it is scoring or rebounding, he can give the Heat a huge help.

Xie Chen made a steady free throw, and this was only Xie Chen's first 2+1 goal.

"Do Spoelstra and Riley think that if they don't let me shoot three-pointers, I won't be able to score three-pointers? You still think of me as Xie Chen last year, how can you beat me?"

Xie Chen smiled softly. The Heat didn't want Xie Chen to score three points, so Xie Chen decided to score three points. Instead of shooting a three-pointer, he shot a two-pointer in the form of a foul.

Xie Chen trained a lot of goals after such fouls during his suspension, and now his hit rate is very guaranteed.

On the next offense, the target of the foul became Wade.

"This time I will score three points." Xie Chen said to Wade.

Wade smiled and didn't respond, but his body was firmly pressed against Xie Chen. Only at the top of the arc was it a little looser. Xie Chen did not use McGrady's pull-up here, but continued to break through. , the Heat are also very wary of Xie Chen's breakthrough, because Xie Chen's ability to create damage inside is too strong. Xie Chen is better than Curry in this. Both of them can shoot three-pointers, and once the opponent is on guard, Behind you, Xie Chen can still be a bug-level presence, but Curry's threat will be greatly reduced.

Xie Chen only took two steps to break through, then suddenly stopped and immediately jumped to take action. This caught Wade off guard, and it was a foul as soon as he stretched out his hand. Xie Chen deliberately waited for Wade in the air, and then took a steady shot.

Hit again!

Another 2+1!

Two consecutive 2+1s made the scene boiling instantly. This is the beginning of momentum. Is Xie Chen going to start a crazy solo performance?

Stephen Curry, who was paying attention to this game, stared at Xie Chen's every move very seriously, and was deeply touched in his heart. Among the 9 games he lost in the regular season, except for the two losses to the Knicks, Curry In addition to being unhappy, there was also a game where Curry lost to the Spurs, which made Curry feel very aggrieved.

In that game, the Spurs also stayed close to Curry, preventing Curry from shooting three-pointers. Curry not only made 12 three-pointers and made 11 attempts, but also did not do well enough in terms of breakthroughs. On the other hand, Xie Chen made these two breakthroughs. The offense has the same effect as a three-pointer.

"I said I would score three points this time." Xie Chen said to Wade with a smile. In the semifinals, there are few people in history who can talk to their opponents with such a relaxed smile. Wade can feel it. Xie Chen's confidence.

However, this 2+1 goal is still just the beginning of Xie Chen's crazy attack, and it's not over yet!

After another two minutes, Xie Chen used a screen to dribble from the outside. The opponent switched defense and Hassan Whiteside defended Xie Chen.

When Xie Chen saw that Hassan was defending, he immediately lured Hassan over. He wanted to fight his good brother in a singles!

"Will it still be a breakthrough?" Stephen Curry thought. If it were him, he might try to dribble away from the big man in front of him, and then shoot a three-pointer. The current premise is to give him enough space to pass.

Lopez and the others are very smart. When they saw that Xie Chen wanted to play alone, they immediately opened up the space. Wade had to follow Lopez and couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Everyone pulled away to see how Xie Chen would eat Whiteside alone.

At this time, Whiteside imitated James in the All-Star period, clapped his hands, and then slapped the floor, as if to say to Xie Chen, come on!

LeBron James also laughed when he saw this scene. Can Xie Chen score this goal?

Xie Chen's offense is very simple and direct. He breaks forward straight and then quickly pulls back to stop the ball.

Sure enough, he still wants to shoot three-pointers!

Hassan Whiteside stretched out his long arms to press over. Xie Chen did not take action immediately. Instead, he deliberately sought physical contact with Hassan and then took a three-pointer.

The ball goes in!

3+1!
