Super All-around Point Guard

When it comes to the strongest teams among the legendary teams in the past, we always start with the championship team. Those who have not won the championship can also show their strength by reaching the finals. The Thunder reached the finals in the 2011-2012 season. However, Durant and Westbrook are still a little immature this season. In fact, the Thunder last season was even more terrifying!

Last season, Durant and Westbrook were undoubtedly at the peak of their careers. Their strength was no less than that of Xie Chen and Anthony. Moreover, the defensive tough guy Ibaka has not left yet, and Durant's contract is expiring in another year. , if they don't win the championship, Durant will leave. Under such circumstances, the competitiveness shown by the Thunder is terrible.

Especially in the playoffs, the Spurs suffered a lot from the Thunder.

The legendary plot that Xie Chen faced today was the playoffs. The fans were still dressed in uniform. It seemed that this game was not easy to win.

"I haven't played against Durant in the playoffs. He is my biggest obstacle to winning the championship this year. I can take advantage of the opportunity of playing the Legend Challenge with the Thunder to practice more. This way, in the Western Conference Finals, my chances of winning will be better. Bigger.”

Xie Chen began to get serious. He knew that the game in front of him was an excellent opportunity to practice. There were only seven games in the series. There were no practice games to play before the seven games. But for Xie Chen, there was, Duran from the previous season. Durant's personal abilities this season have hardly changed much. The improvement in his shooting percentage is also due to changes in the team's system, not his ability.

Against the Thunder this season, the key defender is the omnipotent Westbrook, but even if Westbrook is omnipotent, as long as Durant is standing next to him, Durant will definitely be the key defensive target.

When it comes to the real showdown with the Warriors, Xie Chen will inevitably have to defend Durant. In order to experience the feeling of matchup earlier, and find some ways to defend Durant, and even experiment under what circumstances The success rate of reaching out to steal will be higher, and Xie Chen will occasionally take the initiative to confront Durant.

When Xie Chen appeared in front of Durant, Durant looked at Xie Chen and always smiled contemptuously. When the Thunder played the Heat in the 2012 Finals, when Wade defended Durant, Durant Durant once disdainfully mocked Wade for being too short. Of course, Wade also fired back at Durant and said, "You are too thin."

Durant is naturally not afraid of Xie Chen's defense. He attacks very resolutely. He dribbles the ball, immediately pulls it up and shoots, and hits the ball in one click.

Xie Chen knew that with Durant's center-like height and wingspan, it was impossible for Xie Chen, a point guard, to block shots, and he didn't defend Durant just to block Durant's shots.

The next time, when defending Durant, Xie Chen tried to steal the ball. Xie Chen slapped the ball from Durant's hand, but Durant quickly picked it up again and protected the ball even more. Be careful.

The Thunder switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls. When Durant defends Xie Chen, Xie Chen will not give up this opportunity to practice for the Western Conference finals. He will also resolutely beat Durant in isolation.

When encountering ordinary positions 4 and 5, when Xie Chen pulls out for singles, he basically uses Curry's three-point ability to make strong shots. Because they move slowly, they will definitely be wary of Xie Chen's breakthrough. As long as Xie Chen With a little deception, it's easy to get an outside shot, but from reaction to blocking, they simply can't keep up with Curry's lightning-fast shot.

But it didn't work against Durant. Durant moved very fast and was tall and had long arms, as if he were blocking out the sun. Xie Chen tried to shoot a three-pointer, but was seriously disturbed by Durant. He couldn't even hit the frame. Not touching, this made Xie Chen suddenly think that if the Warriors played against the Thunder last season, Curry would probably have the same result against Durant.

Gradually, as Xie Chen exposed his scoring characteristics, the Thunder's defense against Xie Chen also became "locking shots and bursting into position." Xie Chen did not use O'Neal's dunk ability and Jordan's layup ability. In this game In the game, he still wants to focus more on practicing for the Western Conference finals.

He feels that although this Thunder team has Durant and Westbrook at their peak, they did not win the championship after all, and they did not even make it to the finals. Speaking of which, they were not qualified to be the Knicks' opponents last season. It's not that scary, I didn't expect...

Xie Chen soon learned that some teams that did not reach the finals may be scarier than those that did.

On the defensive end, the Thunder rotated to copy the ball and push the speed. Coach Donovan also used Durant and Westbrook to use the starting lineup to death, with the purpose of establishing a lead at the beginning.

The reason for doing this is because the Thunder team is uncomfortable in close games. Before the Thunder picked up speed in March this season, they couldn't play in the fourth quarter. By the fourth quarter, Duran was the only one. Special and Westbrook are available.

Then, something unexpected happened to Xie Chen. The Thunder launched a "second quarter whirlwind" and actually took the score away in the second quarter!

Xie Chen didn't even realize why the score difference had dropped so much in such a blink of an eye? This feeling is like playing with the Warriors. Could the Thunder last season have the strength to compete with the Warriors?

There was no way, in the second half, Xie Chen had to slowly chase the points. Thinking of finishing this game and having another half in the real world, he felt tired...

After finally getting close to the score, Durant, an unreasonable guy, stepped up and scored again. Once again, we were close to the score, and Westbrook jumped out again...

In the end, Xie Chen used O'Neal's ability and Jordan's ability to finally tie the score at the end, but unfortunately the last attack of the whole game was in the hands of the Thunder. The Thunder handed the last ball to Durant, and Durant faced Ingram's defense hit the buzzer beater.

Xie Chen saw Ingram's defense against Durant and knew that Ingram might not be able to do anything to Durant in the Western Conference finals.

…

Returning to the real game, Xie Chen lost too much in the second quarter of the legendary game, causing the challenge to fail and losing system capabilities.

"I didn't expect the Thunder to be so difficult to beat last season. I was in the Eastern Conference last season and I can't understand this feeling. Many fans said that I won the championship because I took advantage of being in the Eastern Conference. It seems that I can't completely deny their statement. ." Xie Chen secretly said that after playing against the Western Conference playoff teams last season, Xie Chen did understand that the strong teams in the Western Conference are arrogant and have their own characteristics.

"Every team has its own characteristics. Even if we meet the legendary Bulls, the Big Three, I am confident that we can win. The reason why I lose is because I don't understand their style of play. I really hope that next time If I can still meet them, I will definitely win!”

The Thunder last season caused Xie Chen to lose his ability, but Xie Chen is not afraid of meeting them again.

Returning to the real game again, Durant is no longer in front of him, but Xie Chen also has no system ability. However, this is not the first time that Xie Chen has lost his system ability in the playoffs, and the opponent is not a top team. , The most important thing is that the opponent does not know Xie Chen's true situation now, so Xie Chen does not panic and continues to attack Westbrook.

Although he has so many system abilities, Xie Chen's training in the past three seasons is no less than that of others. He does not want to become an ordinary player after losing his ability. Currently, his own mid-range shots and three-pointers are very good. Especially his shooting when the opponent is fouled, which is the best in the league, and his scoring from various strange angles. It is estimated that no one has practiced it more than him.

In this way, after playing for a few minutes without system capabilities, the Lakers not only did not fall behind, but also expanded their lead due to the decline in the Thunder's shooting percentage. This made Xie Chen surprised and very happy. With the help of star ability, he can still lead the team to victory!

Without system ability, Xie Chen can still shoot and score, and assist his teammates to score, but there is one regret, and that is dunking. The gap between Xie Chen's physical talent and guys like Zach LaVine, Vince Carter, and MR720 is still quite big. , and this kind of thing cannot be obtained by hard work.

For fast break layups, Xie Chen was used to dunking from the free throw line, or turning around for dunks. Suddenly, he felt awkward about an ordinary layup.

Moreover, without the system ability, Xie Chen no longer dared to get to the basket and dunk his opponent.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen suddenly thought that in the three seasons since he entered the league, he had never used his ability to dunk an opponent.

There are many small men who are not particularly strong in dunking ability and have the experience of dunking on opponents. Xie Chen’s own dunking and jumping are naturally far different from Zach LaVine and Vince Carter, and they are not as good as those of the same height. Although Dwyane Wade is not top-notch, he is not as bad as Curry. He can dunk even if no one is guarding him. In addition, Xie Chen is now much stronger than when he first entered the league and is not afraid of confrontation. He is very I want to try to rush into the inside without any system capabilities!

Of course, he is also prepared to be blocked by the opponent's inside, but he believes that given his achievements in the past two years, the opponent generally does not dare to mess around.

Xie Chen found the right opportunity and suddenly broke into the inside line with great force!

"Xie suddenly started to speed up, it looked so scary!"

"This is a buckle!"

Looking at the change in Xie Chen's demeanor, everyone expected that Xie Chen was definitely aiming for a dunk this time. He was so fast and fierce, and his expression was also very scary, making a Jordan-like tongue sticking out action.

Adams originally wanted to cover up the defense and try to block Xie Chen. When he saw Xie Chen's menacing posture, he thought that this guy had a sure dunk this time. It was better not to fight him hard. After all, LeBron James was dunked by Xie Chen. fly by.

Adams chose to let Xie Chen dunk.

Xie Chen didn't say anything. Although he no longer had the system ability, his confidence was still undiminished. He didn't hesitate when he came to the basket full of dangers. He jumped up and dunked!

"boom!"

"The dunk was so fierce! Xie is worthy of being the first person in history to dunk. In the playoffs, he dunked whenever he asked!"

"Watching him dunk is such a joy!"

Even at the Thunder's home court, there are many fans obsessed with Xie Chen's dunks.

Xie Chen was extremely excited after dunking. Although he didn't dunk on anyone this time, he was able to complete such a fierce dunk in the playoffs with his own dunk. This made him very satisfied, just like Stephen Curry, the king of dunks, facing Kyle Lowe. After Rui's chasing block and dunking the ball in, he was sluggish for 20 seconds. This is really something to be proud of for them with average physical talent.

"I used my own ability to dunk. It seems that no one saw any difference from before." Xie Chen also smiled. Is momentum still the most important thing? At least it proved that his dunks weren't bad either.

The first two games between the Thunder and the Lakers were unconventional. Today's game was more normal. Xie Chen didn't commit too many fouls and stayed on the court until the fourth quarter. It's a pity that he lost his system capabilities in this game. Otherwise, now, The score should have been opened long ago.

"It seems that in this game, they will have to decide the winner in the final stage. I thought that Xie would score 60 points tonight to annihilate the Thunder, but it seems that Xie is not that cruel." Zach LaVine said with a smile. .

"Except for the sudden dunk in the second half, Xie gave me the feeling that he played more reasonably. Even Westbrook also played reasonable basketball. Both teams were quite disciplined after this game. No big mistakes were made, it just depends on who can hold on in the end." Karl Downs said.

The Thunder and the Lakers took the lead alternately in the last minute. The Thunder attacked for the last time. Westbrook seized the opportunity and hit the ball, turning the score into 108:107, one point ahead of the Lakers. With only 2.3 seconds left, the Lakers made the last attack. Everyone was stunned. He turned his attention to Xie Chen.

"Is the decisive moment about to begin?" Lakers fans are looking forward to it.

Xie Chen is also under a lot of pressure at the moment. He has no systematic ability and can only rely on his own ability to shoot the winning shot. Of course, he can also choose to pass the ball.

"My usual training is not in vain, come on for the ultimate goal!" Xie Chen is still full of confidence!

The Lakers sent a sideline ball, and the audience shouted for defense. It was Westbrook who was currently marking Xie Chen. Before serving, Xie Chen suddenly got rid of Westbrook. Westbrook wanted to follow, but was blocked by Nick Young. Xie Chen came from Nick Young slipped to the left side, Oladipo quickly changed defense and rushed to prevent Xie Chen from catching the ball.

At this time, Randall saw Xie Chen running out of position and quickly passed the ball. Xie Chen also received the pass. However, unexpectedly, Oladipo stretched his hidden foot. After Xie Chen received the ball, , the whole person was still running, and his body immediately became unstable.

"Oops, Xie is going to fall!"

"Oladipo committed a foul! The referee didn't call it!"

"The Lakers are doomed!"

At such a critical moment, the referee will not call a foul that is not too obvious. Even if Xie Chen is really tripped by Oladipo, there is no point in his falling performance now.

Oladipo didn't know that Xie Chen had practiced various shots in foul situations, including this situation.

I saw Xie Chen throwing the ball towards the basket even though his center of gravity was unstable!

boom!

Xie Chen fell to the ground.

Uh-huh!

The basketball hits the net!

Killer!
