Super All-around Point Guard

Varejao has been playing for the Cavaliers for so many years, so it is not surprising at all to meet him when playing against the legendary Cavaliers. However, this season, Varejao moved to the Golden State Warriors, the favorite to win the championship. Many people joked that Varejao Lejo went to be James' undercover.

Varejao, an inside player, does not pose much of a threat on both ends of the offense and defense, but his acting skills are top-notch and he can often dive to get fouled. Moreover, as a big man, he is tall and has long arms. With him, the Knicks' rebounds will be better. The ball is also a problem. Now that Shaquille O'Neal has left the game, if Varejao is taken off the court again, the legendary Cavaliers will lose two important insiders at once, and the rebounds will be guaranteed, and this game will be easy to play.

It was not an easy task to get Varejao off the field. Xie Chen wanted to use the same move to dunk Varejao, but he broke in smoothly and successfully got the opportunity to fight Varejao one-on-one. However, Varejao was too smart. He had no intention of confronting Xie Chen. After taking off, he just blocked the shot symbolically. He stretched out his hand in the air and already made a tendency to dodge. But when Xie Chen Without touching him much, Varejao fell down on his own.

Xie Chen's dunk not only failed to achieve his goal, but also received an offensive foul.

Varejao smiled slyly: "You want to deal with me? You're still too early!"

"Damn it!" Xie Chen was very depressed. Varejao was too cunning and he didn't dare to face him head-on. However, since he was determined to deal with Varejao, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

After that, Varejao grabbed two more rebounds, which further intensified Xie Chen's determination to take him off the court.

Xie Chen whispered to Anthony and asked him to cooperate with him. In fact, he was taking advantage of him by attacking in the east and west, allowing Anthony to attack with the ball, and then lured Varejao's defense. At that time, Xie Chen dropped from the sky with O'Neal's ability goes straight to Varejao, and he won't be able to hide even if he wants to!

Anthony knew very well what Xie Chen was going to do. He suddenly came to the basket and took off facing Varejao. Varejao saw that Anthony was going to pick the basket to attack. His body was leaning back, not dunking or forcibly using his body. For a layup, Varejao no longer needs to hide when faced with such an attack. He only needs to jump high and stretch out his arms to block such a ball.

When Varejao jumped up, Anthony's movement of picking up the basket with his left hand changed instantly. The basketball quickly transferred from the air to his right hand, and then he threw it upward with his right hand underhand.

"Such a difficult layup with a change of hands in the air?" Varejao was dumbfounded. He thought Anthony's change of hands was a layup. He didn't realize it was a pass until he turned around in the air...

"Oh, God, no..." Varejao just turned around in the air, and his face suddenly changed. Xie Chen suddenly ran from the other side, then received the ball with both hands and went straight to Varejao!

boom!

Xie Chen hit Varejao impartially and completed the dunk! Varejao can't hide even if he wants to! Varejao was like a plane that was shot down in the sky, his body was completely out of his control. After being the actor for so many years, this time he showed his best performance without having to act.

Since he and Anthony were very close to each other, he stepped on Anthony's foot when he was falling. It looked like he was really unable to fight now.

The referee called Xie Chen another offensive foul, but it didn't matter. If it wasn't a technical foul, it would be fine. Varejao was limped out and Xie Chen's goal was achieved.

O'Neal, who was sitting off the court, grinned and looked completely shocked: "This guy was born ten years earlier and must have smashed more rebounds than me!"

Xie Chen's performance can only be described as terrifying. Neither O'Neal nor Varejao could beat him. Xie Chen felt that there was no problem in winning this game easily. He just needed to prevent LeBron James from dying.

Looking back, I saw James walking over and whispering to the referee.

James put his arm around the referee's shoulders and said, "Don't you think No. 0 is weird? His size doesn't look powerful, but he knocked away two of our inside players one after another. I suspect he took some drugs."

Xie Chen overheard the conversation between James and the referee from behind and thought to himself: "James, who was systematized in the Legend Challenge, even suspected me of taking drugs. It would be even worse if O'Neal's ability was used in a real NBA game. , it seems that O'Neal's domineering ability has no chance to appear in the real NBA."

James was just suspicious. Investigating players was not something that James or a few referees could decide. The game was still going on.

James was taken care of and basically didn't score much, and the legendary Cavaliers had a new player at this time, which aroused Xie Chen's interest.

This person is Danny Green, the three-point marksman of the San Antonio Spurs, the favorite to win the championship.

"Danny Green is so young." Seeing Green walking onto the court wearing a Cavaliers jersey, Xie Chen couldn't take his eyes away.

This should be Danny Green during his rookie period. When Danny Green entered the NBA, he was drafted by the Cavaliers in the second round. However, Green did not stay with the Cavaliers for long. He only played 20 games for the Cavaliers before being waived by the Cavaliers. .

In fact, Danny Green was already an older young man when he entered the NBA. He played at North Carolina for four years and led the team to win the championship. He retired from the NCAA with success, but he thrived in college. NBA, but can't find its own direction at all.

Mike Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers at the time, said of Danny Green: "You will find that he has great potential, but there is nothing that can stand out."

Danny Green can do many things, but none of them is very good. Such a player cannot survive in the NBA. You must have something that you are particularly good at, or the ability to survive in this league.

After being waived by the Cavaliers, Danny Green transferred to the Spurs. It didn't go particularly well at first, and he was quickly waived by Popovich. Then he went to play in the Development League. Who would have thought that the Spurs would be indispensable today? Danny Green, the sharpshooter that every league wants to pursue, was once unable to gain a foothold in the NBA?

However, although Popovich waived Danny Green, he did not completely give up on Green. After he waived Green, Popovich personally contacted the North Carolina coach and expressed that he liked Green very much. But at the same time, Green You need to change yourself to come back.

It was at this time that Danny Green underwent a complete evolution.

Defense, and shooters. That is, a standard 3D player.

Xie Chen didn't play against Green many times, but every time he met him, Xie Chen had a very strange feeling. When it comes to the three-point shooters in the league today, Danny Green may be ranked below Curry and Xie Chen, but He is definitely one of the best outside shooters in the league, and when facing him, Danny Green never lost to Xie Chen every time.

Danny Green is not as high-profile as Curry, but he has disdain for Xie Chen and Curry. This is what makes Xie Chen uncomfortable. Although he is not arrogant, he is very disdainful. Xie Chen doesn't know that Green really looks down on Xie Chen. How about Curry's three-point ability?

When it comes to the number of three-point shots made every day for so many years, Danny Green believes that he is not inferior to anyone. It's just that under a system like the Spurs, he is not allowed to have too many unreasonable three-pointers.

Danny Green's first breakthrough layup was blocked by Xie Chen, and his subsequent mid-range shot was blocked by Xie Chen.

After stopping Danny Green twice, Xie Chen responded with three-pointers.

It can be said that for Xie Chen now, dealing with Danny Green, who has not yet evolved during his rookie period, is as easy as beating a child.

Although he can easily abuse the opponent, this makes Xie Chen feel boring. How can Danny Green be like this? How can he play like this?

The Knicks were leading by a big score, and Xie Chen couldn't help but said to Danny Green: "Hey, what on earth are you doing?"

Danny Green was stunned and looked at Xie Chen slightly dullly: "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else is it if it's not you?" Xie Chen replied: "Your current style of play is very problematic, and you don't have excellent ability to stay in the air or fade away. Why do you do those things? You can't survive in the NBA like this. Yes, do you know?"

Xie Chen was talking to Danny Green when James suddenly came over, pulled Danny Green away, and said to him: "Don't be influenced by him. He is deliberately irritating you. You don't need to make any changes."

However, Xie Chen's words made Danny Green fall into deep thought, because since joining the Cavaliers, he has also become aware of this serious problem, but Danny Green doesn't know what to do.

Just now, Xie Chen successfully defended Danny Green twice and then quickly hit a three-pointer. He was telling Green that defense and three-pointers are his weapons for survival in the NBA.

Xie Chen stepped forward and asked: "In a few years, do you know what the most popular offensive weapon in the NBA will be?"

Danny Green stopped and looked at James. Although it had been systematized, Green's thoughts were still unfettered.

"Is it a three-pointer?" Danny Green asked.

Xie Chen nodded. Seeing that James was about to express a different opinion, he quickly said: "LeBron, if Danny Green can become the best shooter, then your probability of winning the championship will be greatly increased. You two will be a very terrifying combination. .”

James and Danny Green have a very good relationship. A few years ago, the Spurs lost to the Heat in the Finals. Green followed James to a nightclub afterwards. With such a harmonious relationship, if Danny Green and James, who have the current abilities, can combine, then The power will definitely be doubled.

In fact, James has always felt that it was a pity that when he became teammates with Danny Green, it was precisely when Danny Green was at his weakest.

Now that Green has been conquered by Popovich, he will not change jobs easily.

The legendary Cavaliers are now missing two of their most important inside players. The Knicks have the advantage in rebounding. Xie Chen can shoot three-pointers with more confidence. No matter how strong James is on his own, it will be difficult for him to win in such a situation. Reverse the score.

At halftime, the Knicks led the legendary Cavaliers by more than 20 points.

"I hope I don't have to play in the second half." Xie Chen hopes not to play for a minute in the second half and have a complete rest.

However, James did not completely give up the game. He kept chasing the score. Fortunately, in addition to Xie Chen, the Knicks also had Anthony, a trump card. Xie Chen rested off the court. Anthony led the team alone and resisted James' counterattack. , in the end, the Knicks easily won the legendary Cavaliers.

…

Returning to the NBA game in 2016, Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right. Playing against the Cavaliers in this series was actually easier than playing against the Heat in a certain sense, because the difficulty of the Legend Challenge has been reduced. This is related to whether you lose your ability, so it is of great significance to play continuously. In two away games with the Cavaliers, Xie Chen defeated the legendary team in two consecutive games to maintain his ability. It was a pity that he still lost in the first game. If he lost again this time, it would be unreasonable. There is no reason to win against the legendary team. Loser.

The Knicks are now 17 points ahead of the Cavaliers. As long as they focus on the game and maintain the score, winning is not difficult. Xie Chen rested for two full quarters in the Legend Challenge. He has enough physical strength to continue to compete with James.

Xie Chen has scored more than 30 points in this game, and James has also scored more than 30 points, and his score is even crazier than Xie Chen's!

In the fourth quarter, James still carried the burden on his shoulders and led the team to start a counterattack. He once chased the point difference to only 8 points! His personal score also set a new high in the playoffs this season, 47 points!

"Oh my god, James has already scored 47 points! This will be a 50+ performance!"

"Only two points short of tying his single-game scoring record in the playoffs. I never thought he would break 50 tonight!"

James's single-game scoring record in the playoffs is 49 points. He has always regretted not reaching 50+. He has a chance to achieve this goal tonight, but he wants to win more than the data.

Cavaliers fans were also filled with emotion. Watching James score again and again was like seeing another Kobe. When had they ever seen James play like this? It seemed that James really wanted to win against Xie Chen, and he wanted to do so on his own strength.

Owen Love's condition tonight is indeed not as good as in the last game, so James has to do it himself.

The score difference has been chased to 8 points. Just when Xie Chen was preparing to respond, teammate Anthony suddenly asked Xie Chen for the ball.

"Hey, here!" Anthony settled down and asked Xie Chen for the ball.

On the one hand, James' madness greatly stimulated Anthony, who was also a member of the golden generation in 2003, and Anthony also had to prove himself! On the other hand, Anthony was worried that Xie Chen had exhausted a lot of energy and wanted to take the initiative to take responsibility.

Xie Chen handed the ball to him, and Anthony did not disappoint everyone. He easily turned over and made a jump shot, which went into the net.

Later, when James once again used free throws to narrow the point difference to 8 points, Anthony once again cold-bloodedly hit a mid-range shot!

James looked at Anthony, and Anthony looked at James. At this moment, time seemed to have returned to ten years ago.
