Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 832 Defeating Westbrook!
Salt Lake City, Utah.
The whole Warriors team has come here to prepare for an away game. There is no game today. They also watched the third live broadcast of the Lakers and Thunder. When Xie Chen made the fatal shot, the whole team was amazed, especially Kevin Durant.
It's not because of the previous grudge between Durant and Xie Chen, but this situation also happened to Durant during the regular season this season. It was a game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. The game was very fierce, and both sides also The winner was still undecided until the end. The last ball belonged to the Warriors. With more than three seconds left, the Warriors' Durant came out to catch the ball and shoot the final ball. However, when Durant caught the ball, he was A member of the Cavaliers stumbled, fell to the ground, and missed the final shot. After the game, the league determined that it was a foul.
In the same situation, let Xie Chen do it. With his whole body leaning forward, Xie Chen fell forward while turning around and shooting backwards. The difficulty of shooting can be seen. Durant was very angry after watching this killer ball. He didn't recover for a second.
"I was tripped, how can I still do this? Did he react too quickly? Did he guess that Oladipo would trip him?" Durant couldn't believe Xie Chen's reaction speed and BT ability. At that time, Durant Lant was completely stunned. After his body was out of balance, he had no idea how to handle the ball because there was still a certain amount of time. He wanted to pass the ball out as soon as possible, and he never thought about hitting the winning goal while out of balance. .
In fact, he should think this way.
Because first of all, the opponent used a foul action to make you unbalanced, and the referee did not call it. At this time, the defensive player must not dare to do anything else. He cannot trip you, push you, and then forcefully jump on your face to block you. build.
When Xie Chen shot the winning shot, there was basically no interference. Oladipo, who was guilty of the foul, did not dare to pounce forward. He did not think that Xie Chen, who was about to fall, would really fall down in this situation. Force the shot.
The Warriors all remembered the scene against the Cavaliers in the regular season, and they all fell silent. No one was willing to admit that the best singles player on their team was not as good as other players.
"KD is really not as good as Xie." Karl Towns stood up and exclaimed at the Thunder's home court. "In the regular season game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, there was a scene very similar to this, but KD didn't make the ball, but Xie was here. He hit a magical buzzer-beater despite being fouled."
"Is there anything else that Xie can't do? Dunks, three-pointers, and these magical goals. I really wonder how he has time to train for so many events." Zach LaVine was also envious.
After the buzzer-beater, the Thunder fans at the scene must have felt uncomfortable, but the Lakers dugout was overjoyed. Xie Chen lay on the ground, and Nick Young and others also ran over and lay on the ground.
"2:1, I finally took the lead in the series. From now on, we will proceed at our pace little by little. I must win the first playoff series I coach!" Luke Walton also felt relieved. Having won the best coach in one breath, he doesn't want to be eliminated in the first round. Since he has become an unprecedented rookie coach, let's let the miraculous record continue!
In an interview with reporters after the game, Oladipo said that his foul action was unintentional. He did not pay attention to the movements of his feet and just chased Xie Chen. Westbrook generously admitted that Xie Chen's winning goal was completed. Great, to sum up this victory, luck was not on their side.
Although the Thunder lost, they only lost by 1 point, and it was only 2:1. They have every chance to equalize in the next game.
When Xie Chen was interviewed, he was asked how he reacted so quickly to shoot and hit the target. Xie Chen said that he was just here to execute the final attack. No matter what obstacles he encountered, whether he was tripped or elbowed, Whether the referee can see it or not, Xie Chen will take the last shot. That is his mission and the only thing he has to do.
Xie Chen's words are undoubtedly teaching Durant how to kill!
In addition to the game between the Lakers and the Thunder today, there is also a game between the Celtics and the Hawks. The Celtics' Thomas Jr. had 25 points, 15 assists and 3 steals. Horford also performed well and helped the team. Beat the Eagles again and lead the series 2:1.
The Cavaliers, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, also came to the home court of the Bucks. Antetokounmpo played well in this game. He had been leading the score, but when he was about to get back in the game, Irving refused to let him go and started a crazy three-pointer in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers also became the first team in the playoffs to get a match point with a big score of 3:0.
The next day, the Warriors played the Jazz away from home.
Yesterday, Xie Chen's buzzer beater caused many people on the Internet to start talking about Xie Chen and Durant's critical moment abilities. Everyone generally believed that even though Durant was tall and had long arms, it would be difficult for him to block shots, but if he were the coach of the team, , Durant and Xie Chen are both their own players, so the last ball will still be handed over to Xie Chen, not Durant.
It was almost the same situation. Durant fell to the ground, but Xie Chen was able to make the ball before falling. This is the difference.
These discussions and doubts put Durant in a bad mood. He entered the state very slowly in this game, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were also in mediocre form. As a result, the Warriors were always ahead of the Jazz, and they were ahead by the Jazz by 20 at most. point.
The Cavaliers have already got the match point at 3:0. As the strongest team in the Western Conference - at least Coach Kerr thinks so. Coach Kerr doesn't want the team to lose like this. After some reprimands, the Warriors also played their wonderful game. With teamwork, Durant and Curry also woke up one after another, making three-pointers one after another, and finally tied the Jazz.
The Warriors and Jazz finally reached the stage where the last ball was needed to decide the winner.
"Leave the last ball to me, I want to kill them!" Kevin Durant requested proactively. He has been holding his breath for the past two days. Many people questioned his key ball ability, especially when talking to Xie Chen After comparison, he was demoted as useless. Today happened to have a chance to kill his opponent, and he had to prove himself.
Coach Cole originally planned to hand the last ball to Durant. He believed that hitting the ball would give Durant a lot of confidence.
In the last attack, Durant caught the ball and quickly broke through in stride. Facing the defense of two people, one defensive player pushed him. Durant also forced a shot despite being out of balance. Whoops!
Durant also completed the buzzer beater!
"Ah!" Durant also shouted excitedly when the Warriors got the match point at 3:0, "Who said I can't make the key shot!"
Warriors players are also excited for Durant. Logically speaking, the Warriors, who have already won two games, don't need to be so excited. The significance is that Durant's buzzer beater not only proved himself, but also responded to Xie Chen's buzzer beater yesterday.
The fans were very excited after watching it. They left messages online saying that the Warriors should hurry up and play the Lakers. They don’t want to wait a second longer!
Xie Chen also watched the game and saw Durant's roar after he hit the buzzer-beater. This was obviously for Xie Chen. He wanted to prove that Xie Chen could perform defensive actions that almost caused him to be fouled. Durant can hit the buzzer beater as well.
"Maybe you are more talented and your shots are more difficult to solve, but in this aspect of practice, I am more than ten times better than you." Xie Chen didn't disdain Durant's provocation at all. When it comes to shooting under various foul forms, Xie Chen is the first one.
The game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies was also held on the same day. The Cavaliers and Warriors both got match points, but the Clippers were chased 2:1 by the Grizzlies.
In the East, the Raptors came to the Bulls' home court and were chased 2:1 under the power of Wade and Jimmy Butler.
The playoffs don't stop every day, and on another day, it's the fourth game between the Lakers and the Thunder.
The importance of this game is self-evident. The Lakers already lead the Thunder 2:1. Once the Lakers get the match point at the Thunder's home court and then return to the Lakers' home court, the Thunder may win within two games. After being eliminated, for the Thunder, an equalizer is a must. It is too difficult to reverse a 1:3 situation.
In the last game, the Thunder unfortunately lost to the Lakers by one point, and the way the Lakers beat them was also a magical goal that was just like bad luck. The Thunder felt that the Lakers were just lucky, as long as they continued to maintain the attitude and method of the previous game. , then the fourth game will definitely tie the score.
They don't know that the reason why the Thunder were able to fight the Lakers to the end in the last game was entirely because Xie Chen lost the Legend Challenge and lost the system capabilities to the Legend Thunder. Otherwise, Xie Chen wouldn't have had to make that final shot. The winning goal, they had already lost.
If the Thunder wants to win, Westbrook is still the most critical figure. If the Lakers want to win this game, the key is also Westbrook. The Lakers want Westbrook to kill the Thunder themselves.
Westbrook is a breakthrough master at a historical level, but the problem is that there is no threatening three-point shooter around him. The Lakers can shrink the inside as much as they want, double-team Westbrook and let Westbrook pass the ball suddenly, allowing players like Robertson or Grant to do it. Shoot.
The Lakers' threatening three-pointers are not as good as the Golden State Warriors, but they are still much better than the Thunder. Xie Chen's three-pointers alone are as high as those of Westbrook and Oladipo. Nick Young is also crazy and accurate, including Clark. Outside players, including Johnson, Ingram, and Luol Deng, have worked hard on three-pointers this season in order to help the team score when Xie Chen releases the ball. Their current shooting percentages are very good.
In the fourth game, Xie Chen frequently broke through and passed the ball to his teammates on the outside. Nick Young and Luol Deng also lived up to expectations. Even Randall shot three-pointers whenever there was an opening. Except for Mozgov, who was in charge In addition to rebounding, the other four players are all three-point threats.
Although the Thunder also tried to shoot three-pointers, their shooting rate was not very ideal. Sometimes they did not hit the open space, which made Coach Donovan very anxious. He also knew that this was the team's weakness. When encountering top teams, It is impossible to win, and tonight, the Lakers showed the strength of a top team.
In this game, Xie Chen did not play too much individual heroism. They played team basketball like the Warriors. Each of the five players could score easily. On the other hand, the Thunder could only rely on Westbrook, Oladipo and Adams. Three strong points scored, and the three of them could only barely maintain the score. It was too difficult to overtake.
Xie Chen wanted to beat Westbrook once and for all, and today he planned to guard Westbrook from beginning to end. As the best defensive player, the difficulties caused to Westbrook are self-evident. Westbrook would be intercepted by Xie Chen in almost every game. Second-rate.
The fans at the scene were also worried about the Thunder.
"It's too difficult for the Thunder to score now. It seems that only three of them, Adams, can score, and Westbrook is also being stared at by Xie. It's too difficult to score under Xie's guard."
Seeing the point difference getting wider and wider, Westbrook was unwilling to lose such a crucial game. Since his teammates couldn't stand up and score, he had to do it himself.
The purpose of the Lakers is to get Westbrook to take more shots and keep taking shots to make Westbrook kill himself.
Xie Chen's defense against Westbrook also made Westbrook collapse. Xie Chen defended very well. He knew Westbrook too well, and Xie Chen was not inferior to Westbrook in terms of speed or strength.
When Xie Chen is guarding Westbrook, he will still try his best to prevent breakthroughs and stay one step away, but he is also always wary of Westbrook's shots. When he feels that Westbrook is about to shoot, Xie Chen will suddenly step forward to block the shot, causing Westbrook himself to not be able to shoot. Accurate three-pointers have become even more unreliable.
Once again Xie Chen defended Westbrook alone. Xie Chen suddenly stepped forward again. Westbrook also rushed forward instantly. Xie Chen seemed to have predicted that Westbrook would do this and retreated instantly without losing his position. Westbrook continued Breakthrough, he is really not confident in his shooting, it is easier to break through and score.
But this layup was firmly blocked by Xie Chen. Then, Xie Chen started a fast break. Westbrook was not convinced and quickly followed up, thinking of giving Xie Chen a block, but Xie Chen used Vince Carter's With the ability to dunk and reverse dunk, where can Westbrook block it? Going your own way will only result in 2+1.
He outscored Westbrook in scoring and assists, and also guarded Westbrook on defense. Xie Chen set Westbrook's pace tonight!
Westbrook looked at the score and kept panting. The pressure on him was getting bigger and bigger. The team's victory or defeat depended entirely on him. At this moment, he missed Durant extremely. If Durant was here, Durant's scoring can help the team get out of trouble quickly.
Xie Chen's assists quickly reached double figures, starting a legendary plot. Although he led all the way from the beginning of the game, whether he can win this crucial fourth game in the end depends on whether Xie Chen can win this legendary challenge. Once If you lose the game and lose your ability like last time, if you fail to keep it together, you will be caught up by the Thunder later.
In the last Legend Challenge, Xie Chen lost to the Thunder team last season, which made Xie Chen feel very regretful. He wanted to meet them again and avenge the last time.
The system seems to know what Xie Chen is thinking. The legendary Thunder team this time is actually the Thunder team from last season!
"It's still you! I will definitely win this time!"
