Super All-around Point Guard

In a basketball game, if the opponent guesses correctly what you are going to do and plans a targeted strategy in advance, it will be easy to win. However, if the opponent guesses wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss.

In the Tencent live broadcast room, Ke Fan and Su Qun were also discussing the second playoff game between the Lakers and Thunder.

Ke Fan said: "Everyone knows that there is such a team in the league that you cannot mess with, that is, the Lakers and Warriors after losing. Whenever they lose, they will definitely rebound in the next game, and they often beat their opponents with big scores. Xie Chen is He is the player who least allows others to question him, so I am optimistic that he will explode in this game."

Su Qun also smiled and said: "That's right, plus he didn't have a chance to show off his skills in the last game. He will definitely perform well this time, but he won't be as crazy from beginning to end as before. He will control it well." Rhythm, control the number of fouls, and take your time, but if Xie Chen plays slowly and the Thunder plays fast, the result is unknown. We trust Xie Chen’s ability and believe that Xie Chen will not succeed in this game. Six more fouls came on the field, but the result is really hard to say.”

Su Qun was slightly worried. If the Thunder really won this game and the series score became 2:0, then the Lakers' series would really be in doubt. The next two games would be away games. The Thunder only needed to win this game. Win one game and get match point.

At the scene, the Timberwolves' third young coach, Heat's Bian Bian and president Pat Riley were still sitting in the same seats as in the previous game.

"Today's game will be very different." Pat Riley said to the four young players. This is his personal feeling. He himself doesn't know what will be different. This makes Raven Downs and others even more excited. They were looking forward to it, and at the same time, they were also thinking, what would they do if they encountered this situation?

When Thunder players entered the court today, they received twice as many boos as in the previous game. Previously, only Oladipo was booed. This time, all Thunder players, including Westbrook and Adams, were booed. Booing, because Lakers fans hate the Thunder's foul-making tactics, and they just want to force the Lakers' ace star to leave the game.

The Thunder players were all very cold and arrogant and did not take the boos seriously at all. Especially Oladipo, who was jumping and jumping during the warm-up before the game and was extremely happy.

"Haha, 75 wins, retiring after winning the championship, it's all a joke! See how I eliminate you!" Oladipo believed that if he prevented the Lakers from advancing, it would be something special.

The game started soon, and everyone became nervous. They were all wondering if the Thunder was still targeting Xie Chen that way today?

The first offense was on the Lakers' side. After several passes, the ball returned to Xie Chen's hands again. When Xie Chen got the ball from the outside, Oladipo immediately followed him, his hands, face, and feet all thinking. Sticking with Xie Chen and being inseparable.

"How about it? Does my body smell good? I haven't showered in two days!" Oladipo deliberately disgusted Xie Chen. He wanted to stimulate Xie Chen from the first minute of the game, irritating him and making him irritable. stand up.

Xie Chen ignored him. After getting rid of him, he immediately stopped the ball and made a gesture of shooting, but it was just a feint.

Oladipo was startled, but fortunately he did not jump. Facing Xie Chen after the dead ball, he once again provoked: "You dare to shoot..."

After Xie Chen paused, he suddenly used McGrady to pull up. Oladipo reached out his hand after a late beat. Since he was very close to Xie Chen, Xie Chen could perform a symbolic performance, although Oladipo did not touch him. To Xie Chen.

Uh-huh!

Hit a three-pointer and caused Oladipo to foul!

"I didn't commit a foul!" Oladipo looked at the referee with an innocent look.

"To force Xie Chen to commit more fouls, the Thunder themselves must be prepared to be called for fouls, because you don't know how the referee will call it, especially if you want to call Xie Chen off, you also have to call off a Thunder player. " Su Qun said.

Immediately afterwards, it was the Thunder's turn to attack. The Thunder still used the same routine. Whoever Xie Chen defended would be responsible for attacking, and it was a tenacious hand-to-hand attack.

Xie Chen was guarding Oladipo. Oladipo had already been prepared to beat Xie Chen in a low post, but Xie Chen's strength was not inferior to him at all. Oladipo could not take advantage, although it had no effect. , but he still kept using his body to squeeze and fight against Xie Chen. He also controlled the situation well and did not make too many moves to prevent the referee from calling him an offensive foul.

Then Oladipo made a turnaround jumper.

"Xie will be very cautious on defense tonight. He has to control his fouls. Victor, shoot boldly." Coach Donovan said secretly.

Snapped!

Unexpectedly, when Oladipo used his body to hit Xie Chen's chest for a turn-over jump shot, Xie Chen immediately jumped up to block the shot and blocked the ball with a snap.

Xie Chen's unrelenting defensive attitude surprised both Oladipo and Donovan at the same time.

After being blocked by Xie Chen, Oladipo got the ball again. He still did not choose to pass the ball. He continued to hit Xie Chen resolutely and caused him fouls until Xie Chen felt afraid and did not dare to defend.

Oladipo changed it to a breakthrough this time and forced Xie Chen away for a layup, but was slapped down by Xie Chen again!

"What?" Donovan was really surprised this time. Xie Chen's block just now might have been a defensive foul. This probability is quite high. If you are looking for a foul, this is a must-call. , but Xie Chen was not afraid.

"Fast break! Fast break!" The fans at the scene were very excited.

Nick Young was already running quickly. Xie Chen made a long pass from Kevin Love and passed it to Nick Young, assisting Nick Young for a dunk.

Ke Fan said: "Judging from this attack and defense, Xie Chen played quite tough, with physical contact, but he was not afraid of fouls."

"Well, after all, it's just the start of the game. He's also committing a foul, but we still have to pay attention." Su Qun said.

On the court, Adams also comforted Oladipo and said: "He has not committed a foul now, so of course he is not afraid of guarding him. After a while, he will commit two or three fouls. Do you think he will still dare to cover you?"

Oladipo was originally frustrated by being blocked twice. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Oladipo's most important task now is to quickly let Xie Chen make one or two fouls.

After that, Xie Chen scored again, and the Thunder were the same as before, still beating Xie Chen. Oladipo was blocked twice in a row. This time he was a little hesitant to face Xie Chen, thinking about how to beat Xie Chen. Better to make him foul, but after Oladipo hesitated for a moment, Xie Chen immediately reached out and took the ball out of Oladipo's hand, then quickly followed up to get the ball, ran to the frontcourt for a fast break, and scored Beautiful gliding chop!

"You actually reached out to steal?" Coach Donovan said in surprise, but then he chuckled, "Very good, in this case, you will still leave the game with six fouls today!"

"Xie Chen is the steal king in the regular season. If the Thunder targets Xie Chen like this, his steal data will be very scary and may even reach a new high," Ke Fan said.

Su Qun didn't think so: "It's fine if you are intercepting the pass. If it is broken from someone else's hand like this, then you have to reach out. As soon as you reach out, there will be physical contact. Once there is physical contact, You may be called for a foul, there are many examples of Xie Chen committing fouls during the regular season."

"Yes, sometimes Xie Chen will forcefully take the ball away from his opponent. If the opponent doesn't let go, he will even be thrown away. Haha, I learned that from Leonard." Ke Fan laughed.

Five minutes later, Xie Chen had already led the Thunder by 10 points. The Lakers' scores basically came from Xie Chen's personal scores or direct assists. In addition to scoring, Xie Chen's block and steal statistics were also terrifying, and Only one foul.

Many people think that Xie Chen attacks and defends so unscrupulously, is it because he knows that the referee will not call him? Is there an inside story?

Soon, the referee blew his whistle to prove their innocence.

Xie Chen did not relax because he took the lead at the beginning. He continued to attack crazily, broke into the inside and used LeBron James' layup ability. This time, he was called for an offensive foul by the referee.

Xie Chen fouled twice in a single quarter again!

However, unlike the previous game, after Xie Chen committed two fouls, Luke Walton did not replace him. Obviously this was the result of discussion between the two.

The Timberwolves' third young master and Dabai Bian off the court couldn't understand. Hassan looked at Pat Riley and said, "Mr. President, what Xie did tonight was not right."

Pat Riley, with a smile on his face, asked, "What's wrong?"

"He hit too hard and didn't hold back at all. If he continues like this, he will leave the field with six fouls again!" Hassan worried.

But Pat Riley looked indifferent, "So what if six fouls leave the game?"

"You can't win if you leave the game with six fouls. Once Xie leaves the game, the Thunder will take control of the situation and win the final victory, right?" Hassan Whiteside didn't understand what Riley was thinking.

Riley shook his head and said: "I don't think the Lakers can't win after Xie's six fouls."

In everyone's perception, once Xie Chen leaves the game with six fouls, it will be a disaster for the Lakers and the Thunder will win. But today, Xie Chen played a more high-end game. He wanted the Lakers to still win after he left the game with six fouls. He had to keep expanding the score. When he was off the court, he wanted to make the point difference so big that it was impossible for the Thunder to do so. The point of chasing it back!

Pat Riley has already figured out Xie Chen's intention today, but Donovan and others haven't yet.

The Thunder originally planned to do their best to score points in the first three quarters, but despite such a fierce attack, they still fell behind, which dampened their confidence.

Soon, Xie Chen and Westbrook also took a rest. In the first quarter, Xie Chen's number of fouls remained at two.

"Xie Chen played really hard in the first quarter. Fortunately, he only had two fouls." Ke Fan was quite lucky to see Xie Chen end the first quarter with two fouls. Just now Xie Chen had two fouls. Playing basketball is really worrying. Once Xie Chen commits three fouls in a single quarter, it will be really troublesome.

Everyone knows that the Thunder's bench is very strong and gets into the state quickly. Luke Walton doesn't want the lead that Xie Chen has worked so hard to catch up with during the bench period, so he tells Clarkson and others that they must maintain the score.

Clarkson lived up to everyone's expectations. When the Thunder wanted to counterattack, he suppressed the opponent's momentum with scoring. When Xie Chen came on the court again in the second quarter, the point difference was still double digits.

"Well done, Jordan." Xie Chen praised Clarkson, and he would continue to expand the score.

The Thunder still prioritized getting Xie Chen to foul. This time the Thunder attacked, Westbrook held the ball, and Xie Chen defended Grant. The Thunder hit whoever Xie Chen defended, so Westbrook naturally focused on Grant, Grant slipped inside, Westbrook quickly passed the ball over, Grant received the ball, and there was no one under the basket. He got up and dunked backhand. While dunking, he was always paying attention to Xie Chen's movements. He was not expecting it. He completely got rid of Xie Chen, but hoped that Xie Chen could catch up and stop him. In this case, Xie Chen would be fouled while scoring.

Since Xie Chen is a point guard, his height is at a disadvantage against most players on the court. Westbrook and Oladipo are okay, but when blocking shots against a two-meter player like Jerami Grant, it is It is very possible that not only was the shot missed, but the player fouled.

But Xie Chen's bullet speed was astonishing. After taking off, he stretched out his hand towards Grant. When Grant was about to dunk, he slapped him away.

Grant fell to the ground immediately. This is what the Thunder coach taught them. As long as Xie Chen has physical contact with them when blocking shots, he must act like it.

But the referee did not blow the whistle, and the Lakers instead called a fast break.

Coach Donovan was so angry that he kept complaining to the referee on the sidelines: "That's a foul! You have to call such an action!"

Whenever Xie Chen makes a suspected foul move, Coach Donovan will never let go of arguing with the referee, and the referee can't stand it.

Coach Donovan always pays attention to Xie Chen's foul count, but ignores more fundamental things.

Soon he got what he wanted. Xie Chen misplaced his defense on Adams and fouled to prevent Adams from scoring inside.

Ke Fan said: "Oh, Xie Chen shouldn't take action. Let Adams score with this ball."

"Xie Chen committed another three fouls, and it happened in the second quarter again. This game was the same as the last one." Su Qun sighed.

On the court, Adams breathed a sigh of relief after committing Xie Chen's third foul. Everyone's task progress improved again, and his teammates also stepped forward to give him a high-five. Under such circumstances, Adams missed both free throws.

Even so, no one would say that the foul was worth it, but in Xie Chen's view, the most important thing was not allowing the Thunder to narrow the point difference.

Xie Chen continued to launch a crazy attack. At this time, Xie Chen's teammates also started to attack. After continuous attacks, the Lakers' lead expanded to 20 points in the second quarter!

Su Qun suddenly realized: "Hey, the Lakers led the Thunder by 20 points at halftime. This is really different from the first game. The point difference is a bit big!"
