Super All-around Point Guard

Anthony finally defeated James once. Although he relied more on Xie Chen's strength, no matter what, Anthony still became the winner in front of James.

Anthony has longed for the Finals stage for too long. In 2006, Wade of the 2003 golden generation first set foot on this stage together with O'Neal. Wade, who entered the Finals for the first time, dedicated his strongest fighting power and not only won the championship , and also won the FMVP. At that time, Anthony and James were both very greedy and determined to enter the finals as soon as possible and catch up with Wade.

After that, James did it. He led the Cavaliers to the finals. Even if he didn't win the championship, Anthony envied him. At least he was moving on the right path, but what about him? There was no hope at all.

Until James and Wade Bosh joined forces and almost established a dynasty, other teams had no chance at all. Anthony's mentality became even worse, and he once gave up the dream of winning the championship.

Until he met Xie Chen, an MVP-level player.

"Find the strongest opponent to join forces to get what you want. Isn't this the rule of the game now?" Anthony looked at the sky above the arena and the excited crowd. He is now just a supporting role, a real hero. It's Xie Chen, but Anthony still prefers this moment to being the hero of a team at the bottom of the league. So what about being the second in charge?

As proud as Wade, hasn't he been the second boss for several years? Last year, he won the FMVP together with Xie Chen as the second boss! If Anthony performs well in the finals, Anthony will also have the opportunity to honor this award!

When he thought of the FMVP trophy, Anthony's heart couldn't help but beat violently. It was impossible for anyone not to be shaken by this award.

After James congratulated Anthony, he still walked to Xie Chen expressionlessly, and the two hugged deeply. Media reporters kept coming up to take photos of the two of them. The flashlights kept shining. Both of them were considered to be NBA players. Top five players in history!

Needless to say, James’ historical status is two championships, two FMVP trophies, four regular season MVPs, scoring champion, Olympic champion, etc., and Xie Chen, this is the second in his career. In the first season, Xie Chen has entered the finals for two consecutive years. If he wins the championship and the FMVP honor for two consecutive years, let alone the top five in history, all kinds of news about replacing Michael Jordan as the first person in history will be rampant!

"Congratulations, Xie. Although I don't want to admit it, you are really the most amazing player I have ever seen. I know that I may not be able to be your opponent in the future, so I will try my best while I still have the ability. I challenge you. Next season, I will still stand up and stop you on the way to the playoffs." James looked at Xie Chen and spoke his mind.

Xie Chen's mood was very complicated. James' cruel words made Xie Chen feel a little sad. Xie Chen replied: "I can grow up so fast without your contribution. I have fought so many battles with you for two consecutive years." , you have no idea how hard this is for me.”

Seeing that Xie Chen also frankly spoke his mind, James continued: "I guarantee that we will meet in the playoffs for three consecutive years. I wish you success in winning the championship!"

"Thank you." Xie Chen thanked him and watched James walk straight to the locker room with a lonely look that no one could guess.

The atmosphere at the scene was still very noisy and enthusiastic. Everyone was immersed in the excitement of advancing to the finals. The Knicks also officially became the Eastern Conference champions. This should be worthy of celebration, but Xie Chen didn't like to be too excited when he won the Eastern Conference championship because If they lose in the finals, they will be the number one loser, and the Eastern Conference championship is not an honor.

At this time, the game was over, and Ke Fan also asked Su Qun the last question: "Teacher Su, do you want to predict the Cavaliers next season?"

Su Qun said: "Love may have to be removed, and the position of the coach is not stable. If the Cavaliers strengthen and get a better coach, they will still be a team with championship potential next season. The key is to look at James." , I always feel that James has lost confidence in this team."

Many people realize that the failed Cavaliers will definitely change a lot next season, but at this moment, no one cares about how the Cavaliers will change next season, or who goes and who stays. They only care about the winner now.

The press conference after the game was very lively. There were many reporters and all kinds of questions were asked. Xie Chen and Anthony were a little busy.

The reporter first asked how it felt to win the Eastern Conference championship as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Xie Chen smiled and said: "The weakest ranking achieves the best results. What else can be better than this? But the Eastern Conference championship It’s not the ultimate goal, the championship is.”

The reporter then asked: "The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs have not yet decided the winner. Which opponent do you prefer to fight? Now it seems that the Spurs have greater hope of advancing."

Xie Chen said: "Both teams have reasons why I particularly want to play against them. The Warriors are Steph Curry, and the Spurs are Popovich. One of these two people is very similar to me, and the other understands me very well. It’s going to be fun to play any team.”

Another reporter asked: "In a few days, it will be the day of the finals. I heard that your child will be born at that time, and whether the Warriors or the Spurs win next, according to the regular season record, your first two You have to fly to the West to play away games every game. I wonder if this will affect your performance in the finals? How will you choose between your children and the finals?"

Xie Chen, who was originally in a good mood, immediately became serious when he heard this question. Anthony immediately said: "I'm sorry, this is Xie's personal question and it's not convenient to answer it."

Anthony's family and Xie Chen's family are very good friends in private, and their wives often meet. Anthony naturally knows that the day Katie gives birth happens to be the time when the first game of the finals begins!

On the way home, Anthony and Xie Chen sat in the back seat of the car at the same time and asked the driver to drive them home. Anthony had a cigar in the car and looked at Xie Chen with great concern: "Thank you, No one thought that things would be such a coincidence. The day you were going to be a father turned out to be the first day of the finals. I know you love Katie very much. I wonder if you have any ideas. No matter what you decide, brother Everyone must support you!”

Game or life, Xie Chen faced this choice for the first time in his life. Xie Chen patted Anthony and said melancholy: "Give me a little more time to see who our opponent in the finals is, and I will tell you again. Let’s decide.”

…

Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors challenge the San Antonio Spurs!

There are results in the Eastern Conference, and there is still a somewhat surprising eighth team in the Eastern Conference. This is a big stimulus for the Warriors and Spurs, especially for Stephen Curry.

Xie Chen can be said to be Curry's biggest enemy. Last season, Xie Chen took away almost all of Curry's honors and records. This season, Curry has basically won them back, except for the most important championship trophy. Xie Chen Chen Chen basically has nothing to argue with Curry this season. He was suspended for fighting in the regular season, and the MVP was basically lost. He couldn't catch up with the three-point goals. Curry felt that winning was not glorious enough, so he insisted on competing openly with Xie Chen. Only then.

In fact, in the series with the Rockets and Clippers, Curry was more or less injured, and his condition was not particularly stable, but he had to persevere, regardless of the injury, and win over the Spurs first.

Until now, who has not suffered any injuries? In the worst situation, the victory won becomes even more precious.

Curry was very focused on the court today. Almost every time he attacked, he reminded himself: "Thank you for waiting for me!"

Curry still hit six three-pointers tonight under the Spurs' tight defense and sent out 11 assists. Similarly, Klay Thompson also played well. They defeated the Spurs and dragged the game into a tiebreaker!

…

New York.

Xie Chen has been waiting for news about the Western Conference championship, but there is still no result today. Unexpectedly, the two strong teams actually reached a tiebreaker. The game was indeed fierce and beautiful, but as an opponent, Xie Chen was a little impatient. He was too I wonder who his next opponent will be.

The Warriors and Spurs are different for Xie Chen.

The Warriors are very strong, very strong this season, and very strong last season, but apart from these two seasons, they have never been very strong. The Spurs are different. They are strong this year, strong last year, and the year before that. They have always been strong. Ten years ago, *** is still a championship-level team!

Xie Chen will encounter legendary teams as long as he plays away games. The possibility of encountering a super strong team when playing against the Spurs is much greater than when playing against the Warriors.

It can be said that as long as the Spurs are played away from home, there must be a difficult Legend Challenge game, but when playing the Warriors, the difficulty of the challenge is slightly lower.

Xie Chen has been focusing on accompanying Katie these days and almost doesn't go to the training gym anymore.

Although Katie was happy to have her husband's company, she was also very concerned about Xie Chen's competition. That night, Katie and Xie Chen talked about this topic.

Katie asked Xie Chen: "Dear, are there no results in the west yet?"

Xie Chen knew what Katie was going to ask, so he told her the truth: "I know you want to know my decision. In fact, no matter whether the Warriors win or the Spurs win, I have already decided that I will not participate in the first game. I will stay with you in New York and see our child for the first time."

"What? You have already decided?" Katie thought that Xie Chen was still waiting for the winner of the Warriors and Spurs to make a decision. In fact, this was not just an excuse for Xie Chen to deal with Anthony. No matter whether the opponent was the Spurs or the Warriors, Xie Chen would Missed the first finals game.

This is a very difficult decision, but in competition and life, Xie Chen finally chose the latter. The championship is indeed the honor that Xie Chen wants most, and every game is very crucial. Xie Chen's absence from one game is basically announced. The Knicks' failure had a huge impact on the series, but similarly, it was impossible for Xie Chen not to be with them when their child was born.

Another reason why Xie Chen insisted on being absent was because it was an away game.

Away games, for Xie Chen, mean two consecutive games. Winning is inherently a low-probability event. Whether it is the Warriors or the Spurs, these two teams are better than the Cavaliers. Even playing against the Cavaliers cannot guarantee a complete away game. Even if you win, if you beat them both, the probability of losing will definitely be greater.

Since you will lose if you play, and you will lose if you don't play, Xie Chen's waste of an away game is relatively worthwhile.

It's a pity that teammates and fans don't know this. Xie Chen doesn't know how the outside world will view him with this decision.

Two days later, Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.

Anthony knew that Xie Chen would make a decision after this game, whether he would play in the first game of the finals, so he came to Xie Chen's house on this day to watch the game with Xie Chen. Likewise, he came with Anthony, And Phil Jackson.

The three of them brought coffee to the gym at Xie Chen's home to watch the game.

The three of them were chatting while watching the game. Phil Jackson kept playing with a cigar in his hand and said lightly: "I heard that LeBron James unfollowed the Cavaliers official website on Twitter."

Xie Chen glanced at Phil Jackson and said with a smile: "A 70-year-old man still pays attention to things on the Internet. You have so much energy."

After hearing this, Phil Jackson laughed and said: "If I wasn't a person who keeps pace with the times, how could I recruit you here? Haha, but the Cavaliers have really big problems this summer, but it's a bit much to think about it now." Morning, after all, we haven’t finished this season well and won the championship, so let’s think carefully about our opponents next season.”

Curry has always played well at the home court of the Warriors. This final battle is also of great significance to the Warriors. Curry has said before that if he cannot win the championship, then even 73 wins will be meaningless. Now It’s a bit early to talk about the championship. Whether we can reach the finals is still a question!

Warriors fans at the scene were also excited.

"The weakest opponent in the history of the finals has appeared. Whoever reaches the finals will definitely win the championship. Warriors must work hard! If we win this game, we can celebrate the championship in advance!"

If Xie Chen heard such remarks at the scene, he would definitely be furious. It turns out that they all looked down on the Knicks as their opponent. Even if the Knicks won the Eastern Conference championship, they still regarded the Knicks as Xie Chen's team. A second-rate team.

With their pride this year, even if the Cavaliers advance to the finals, they will still express congratulations in advance.

"The Spurs are our biggest opponents this season! As long as we beat them, we can win the championship!" Warriors coach Kerr encouraged the Warriors. Even he said this, but he knew it in his heart. The Knicks are very strong and difficult to deal with, but in order to make the players more motivated, they went with the flow.

Go ahead and fight, if you win this fight, you will be awarded the championship trophy directly!

Then, Draymond Green hit a triple-double, Klay Thompson made seven three-pointers, Iguodala and Livingston all broke out, not to mention Curry, they relied on a strong force and fighting spirit , directly destroyed the Spurs and stood on the stage of the finals!
