Super All-around Point Guard

Tristan Thompson didn't know if Xie Chen had forgiven him for what he did to Xie Chen, but it was obvious that Xie Chen was still angry with Thompson, but being able to tell such a joke proved that the anger was not very big. .

Tristan Thompson also smiled awkwardly and replied: "I was distracted last time. I will be fully focused tonight. You won't have a chance to dunk me."

James also quickly smoothed things over, patted the two of them on the shoulders and smiled: "OK, I hope you don't hate each other. We are rivals, but not enemies. We can even become friends off the court. Basketball is something that brings happiness to people." Let’s not think about those unhappy things, thank you, no matter who loses or wins, I hope we can all enjoy the process of the game.”

Xie Chen also smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have been enjoying it."

This game was also broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel.

The commentators are Yang Jian and Yang Yi. Before the series started, Yang Yi predicted the outcome of this series, and he was more biased towards the Cavaliers. But until now, the tenacity and strength of the Knicks have impressed Yang Yi. , the predicted results were somewhat shaken.

As soon as the game started, Yang Jian immediately began to explain: "Welcome everyone to pay attention to the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavaliers and the Knicks. James and Xie Chen have also faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years. I believe that in the next few years, as long as they both Without leaving the East, meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals will be the norm. Yang Yi believes that the Cavaliers have a better team, do you still think so now?"

Yang Yi analyzed with a serious expression: "Yes, I still think the Cavaliers are very strong, but I have to admit that I underestimated the Knicks, Derrick Williams and veteran Ray Allen. In addition to Xie Chen's magical performance in every game, the two of them also played an indispensable role in being able to reach this stage. In fact, I didn't predict their strength wrongly, but I didn't expect them and Xie Chen. The chemical reaction is so good, Xie Chen helped them realize their maximum value, which I did not expect before."

Yang Jian watched Xie Chen take the lead in scoring two points as a guest and continued: "It seems that Xie Chen's condition is getting better every game. I heard that his finger injury is recovering quickly. This game should be more effective." In terms of ball control, Tristan Thompson is back in this game and is starting, so I don’t know if there will be a fierce collision between them.”

"Probably not. Thompson is not a stupid person, and neither is his agent. He should know that being an enemy of Xie Chen is not a wise decision. There is no deep hatred between the two, it is just that he was dunked by Xie Chen." Yang Yi said .

Regarding the conflict between Xie Chen and Thompson, everyone knows that it is inevitable for the two to confront each other again, and this scene happened only two minutes into the game.

After Xie Chen broke through the defense, he dribbled the ball up and down with his left and right hands. Because he was hiding from the defender's body, his steps seemed a little unsteady. Then, without hesitation, Xie Chen directly used LeBron James' layup ability to go straight to the basket for a layup. Tristan Thompson happens to be standing under the basket defending at this moment.

Thompson faced Xie Chen again, and his attitude at this time was completely different from the last time he committed a malicious foul. He would never maliciously hurt Xie Chen again. He even wanted to avoid Xie Chen and try not to get physical. Collision is just a matter of jumping high. If you can, you can cover him. If you can't, that's it. The game has just begun anyway, so there is no need for him to make things big.

The current league is different from the past league. Think about the Bad Boys vs. Jordan, think about Rodman and Karl Malone's entanglement every game. Now the league's atmosphere has been reduced a lot. Business leagues are all Among those who mainly focus on making money, how many of them are like Kobe Jordan who are just for the championship?

Thompson and Xie Chen are both young. Maybe they will have the opportunity to be teammates in the future.

However, although Thompson's defense this time was very clean and there were no unnecessary moves, the referee still blew the whistle. After Xie Chen scored a layup, the referee gave Xie Chen a free throw opportunity.

This is the rule of the game in the NBA. You may not be whistled when you commit a foul, and you may not be whistled when you do not commit a foul. It is the referee who blows the whistle. The referee is a human being, not a machine. In addition to abiding by the foul standards, he must also consider a lot of things.

"I believe everyone is used to looking for fouls. Thompson's defense this time is actually no problem." Yang Jian said with a smile.

Yang Yi also laughed and said: "The referee made his attitude clear at this time and told Tristan Thompson the scale of their penalty tonight. They also wanted Thompson to remember and stop messing around."

Thompson understands the rules of the game, so he was called a foul when the ball was called. Even if he was wronged, he raised his arms without any anger.

After this ball, the game entered a normal state.

In the past four games, it can be said that the Cavaliers and Knicks have played their best in every game. The probability of the two teams maintaining a high level in this game is still high, and they will only perform better than before.

James and Xie Chen are the two teams' two most unstoppable weapons. Until now, neither team has found a way to stop them.

Xie Chen is so versatile. He can control the ball or not, score or not, attack the inside or not, get rid of the opponent or choose not to get rid of the opponent. The diversity of his offensive moves makes those who defend him collapse. .

And James is as strong as ever. The Cavaliers can lack anyone, but James cannot be missing. Unlike Xie Chen for the Knicks, James does not necessarily have to score the highest points in the team, but he can still bring out the maximum strength of the Cavaliers. The Knicks To show the best combat effectiveness, Xie Chen must be the player with the highest score.

Love has shared a lot of pressure with James in this series. In today's game, he basically hit every ball he received from James. Love's three-pointers have become the biggest threat to the Knicks.

After playing for more than two quarters, although Love is the highest scoring player on the Cavaliers team, James is definitely the controller of the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm. Almost every score scored by the Cavaliers is guided by James. James is too much of a threat. , as long as he moves and breaks through the defense, there must be three people to flank him. James' passing has reached perfection. Whether it is passing to the bottom corner, the top of the arc, or behind the back, he can send the most comfortable ball to his teammates. .

What is very strange is that when James holds the ball for a long time, he usually passes the ball, and every time he scores, the ball is rarely in his hands for more than two seconds, which means that his scoring is all based on the air. Completed by cutting the ball and directly catching the ball and shooting.

After halftime, CCTV compared the data of James and Xie Chen. Yang Yi laughed after seeing it: "Looking at the data of these two people, James is more like a point guard than Xie Chen. He has 5 more assists than Xie Chen and scores more." Ten points less than Xie Chen."

Xie Chen has now scored 25 points, which is close to 30 points. He will soon challenge the legendary Cavaliers again.

"I don't know which legendary Cavaliers team we will face today. James Love and his team played very well tonight. I'm afraid it won't be easy to win."

The two teams are currently tied. Who loses and wins depends on Xie Chen's next match against the legendary Cavaliers.

Xie Chen quickly scored 5 points in a row, once again starting the plot of the Legend Challenge!

…

The scene didn't seem to have changed at all. Fans at Quicken Loans Arena were still dressed in the same uniform. The tension of the playoffs still pervaded the entire arena. The Cavaliers' jerseys also didn't change. LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and J.R. Smith also They were all still there, which made Xie Chen feel like he hadn't arrived at the Legend Challenge venue yet.

But when he saw Kevin Love in a suit, Xie Chen realized that he had come to the plot of the Legend Challenge, and the legendary Cavaliers he faced this time were not far away, they were the Cleveland Cavaliers last season!

The system arranged the game on the day of the playoffs, and it was also the day of the Eastern Conference Finals!

In other words, Xie Chen has to face a team he has faced before!

"I lost to you three games in a row last year. At that time, I didn't have Michael Jordan's ability, I didn't have O'Neal's ability, and Curry's three-point ability didn't evolve into SS. Now, I want to avenge myself last year!"

Although he won the Cavaliers in the end, Xie Chen still felt embarrassed when he thought about losing to the Cavaliers three games in a row. At that time, everyone was accusing Xie Chen of questioning Xie Chen's ability. The Cavaliers were a team without Kevin Love! How could he lose three games in a row?

Because he has seen the importance of Kevin Love to the Cavaliers in the past few games, Xie Chen feels that it is too easy to play the Cavaliers without Love now.

But no matter what, this legendary Cavaliers team can be called the legendary Cavaliers team with the strongest year. Xie Chen's challenge tonight is not small.

After the game started, the Cavaliers made several attacks and all were successful. However, seeing the Cavaliers scoring one after another, Xie Chen, the opponent, not only did not feel disappointed, but smiled happily.

Kyrie Irving and James looked at each other, wondering if Xie Chen had a brain problem. Why should they be happy when their opponent scored?

Xie Chen was not happy, but just surprised, because...

"The Cavaliers' opening few goals and these offensive routines are exactly the same as the third game of last year's series!"

A year has passed since the series between the Heat and the Cavaliers last season. Xie Chen played many games during this period. It is impossible to remember the details of every game. Xie Chen played the first two goals. It's true that he didn't notice anything, but the more he fought, the more familiar it felt to Xie Chen. Looking back carefully on the third game with the Cavaliers last year, Xie Chen was absolutely sure that this **** was staged according to last year's plot!

Every time they pass the ball, every way they score, including whether the player's shot at that position is a hit or a miss, and even the quality of the screen is exactly the same!

"Oh my God, if I had known this, I would have watched the video with them last year several times!" Xie Chen was a little annoyed. If he had known that the Cavaliers would play according to last year's pattern today, Xie Chen would have prepared in advance. At that time, Xie Chen will know in his mind how to defend every ball. Which ball the Cavaliers can score and which ball they cannot score, Xie Chen will be able to predict beforehand!

If this is true, then Xie Chen has no possibility of losing at all! You can even end the battle in half, giving yourself a longer rest.

Xie Chen is now trying to recall the Cavaliers' offensive routine and everyone's performance in last year's game. Fortunately, this game is very important to Xie Chen, and there are many plots that he can remember.

Xie Chen tormented his opponents with ultra-long three-pointers and fadeaway jumpers from the beginning. No matter who the Cavaliers sent to defend, there was nothing they could do against Xie Chen. If the legendary Cavaliers wanted to win, they had to slowly catch up with the score.

James was very competitive and suddenly shot in with the ball from the top of the arc. Xie Chen watched James drive straight towards the basket. A picture of James's successful layup suddenly flashed in his mind, and in that picture, James' defender was not William. James, but Luol Deng, his teammate with the Heat last year!

"He scored the goal!" Xie Chen finally recalled that James completed a similar layup in last year's game and also caused a foul by Luol Deng.

This is an obvious opportunity for the Cavaliers to score three points, and Xie Chen will not just watch the Cavaliers get it.

Just when James was about to take off for a layup, Xie Chen suddenly rushed over, used Griffin's shot-blocking ability to stop him, and finally hugged James.

James suffered a very intentional foul. The ball was thrown, but it didn't even touch the basket.

Everyone also saw that Xie Chen clearly wanted to send James to the free throw line.

Because no one knows whether James' layup can improve, so they are quite satisfied with the result.

James was not angry. After being hugged, he smiled and said to Xie Chen: "Very good, you can defend me like this the whole game, I don't mind."

Xie Chen smiled, did not reply, and then watched James miss both free throws...

"Damn..." James cursed secretly. If he knew that this was a must-goal, he would be even more angry.

Not only LeBron James is unlucky, but Kyrie Irving is also unlucky.

All this time, Xie Chen has no way to deal with Irving's dribbling. Irving is so good at dribbling that it cannot be easily broken. Irving will assess the situation and change his offensive routine according to your defense against him. It's changing and playing tricks on you, but you can't do anything about it.

Last season, Xie Chen was fooled by Irving many times. This guy always showed off his ball-handling skills in front of Xie Chen. It was very annoying!

Now that we meet, Owen will still provoke Xie Chen like this from time to time.

"This guy is still so showy. I couldn't stop you last year because I didn't know what you would do next. If I can't stop you from showing off today, I'll write my name backwards!" Xie Chen faced Owen also became serious.

Xie Chen carefully recalled Irving's extraordinary tricks, and he swore that he would cut off Irving's ball this time!
