Super All-around Point Guard

In the fourth game of the series between the Lakers and Spurs, Xie Chen scored four consecutive three-pointers at the beginning, beating the Spurs 12:4!

Popovich was forced to call a timeout!

"What kind of play is the Lakers doing? Relying entirely on one person to shoot three-pointers? Do they want to defeat the Spurs like this?" The Warriors also don't understand. There will be an opponent for them in the next round between the Lakers and Spurs, so there is a gap between them. In this series, the Warriors are paying attention to every game. If Xie Chen plays this way against the Spurs, if the Lakers advance, he may use the same style of play against the Warriors.

Coach Cole also frowned. He also regarded himself as Popovich on the court, thinking about how he should deal with it if it were him.

Popovich was originally very confident to win this victory. He only needed to arrange it like the last game. He never expected that Xie Chen would still be so unreasonable in shooting three-pointers today. The difference from the previous game was that this time The hit rate in one game is so incredible!

"This guy is crazy. Does he want to kill me with a three-pointer? I don't believe you have this ability." In the current situation, Leonard can't cover Xie Chen at all, but Popovich has no intention of going. Double team.

Popovich said: "I don't believe that Xie became irrational in the fourth game. He had no reason to bet on a long three-pointer from the beginning when he was 1:2 behind. Don't be affected by him this time. After the timeout, he would stop and continue playing like he did in the last game."

Popovich's timeout was, firstly, to soothe the players' confidence, and secondly, to try to wake up Xie Chen and let Walton tell Xie Chen what he was doing.

Only Xie Chen knows what he is doing. Everyone thinks that Xie Chen can solve problems with three-pointers at any time on the court. Only he knows that in an away game, especially when facing an away team with a legendary team, he can use three-pointers to solve problems. The ability may only last half a game.

For those who have unsolvable three-pointers, whether it is Xie Chen, Curry, Durant, Klay Thompson, or even Westbrook, as long as the shot goes smoothly and as long as the shot is not missed, the shooting will definitely continue.

Popovich was just waiting for Xie Chen to miss the shot and then return to normal. Xie Chen thought the same way, but the problem is that today's luck was really too good...

After halftime, facing Leonard's defense, he broke through, made an emergency stop, bowed to others, and made another emergency stop. Leonard was knocked down!

Xie Chen once again shot a long-range three-pointer and hit it again!

Scored five three-pointers in a row!

"Oh my god, Xie's hand feels so hot today!"

"The Lakers went crazy at the beginning, which is not good."

Spurs fans are worried, but like Popovich, they all believe that Xie Chen can't keep hitting like this.

Of course it's impossible to use Curry's three-point ability to continuously hit five three-pointers. Xie Chen was already surprised by scoring five three-pointers in a row. But next, he will no longer use Curry's ability, but use his own Maybe it's McGrady's three-point ability. He hasn't developed the ability to shoot long-range three-pointers. He can only shoot near the three-point line, but McGrady has it.

After Xie Chen obediently made two assists, he suddenly faced the defense and forced a three-pointer!

"I interfered with him!" Leonard believed that he had a lot of interference with this shot, and Xie Chen should not score again...

Uh-huh!

Hit six three-pointers in a row!

"Oh my God! Isn't this amazing? Thank you for treating the playoffs like the All-Star Three-Point Contest!"

Even the Warriors' Green shook his head and said: "I guessed that Xie would shoot particularly accurately in one game. He is the same as Stephen. They have this ability, but why did it happen in such a crucial game? inside."

Xie Chen was also overjoyed. As Green said, the smoothest shooting game in the playoffs occurred in this game, and in this game, he planned to use Michael Jordan's layup ability!

"Looking at this situation, I may not need to use Michael Jordan's layup ability in this game." Xie Chen still has a chance to hide his big move until the Western Conference Finals!

Xie Chen did not continue to shoot three-pointers unscrupulously and stop when he was good. With the lead established by these magical three-pointers, Xie Chen continued to play slowly to stabilize the score. On this basis, he slowly Expand the score.

The Spurs fell behind by up to 15 points in the first quarter, and fell behind by up to 20 points in the second quarter!

At the same time, Xie Chen's personal score also exceeded 30 points early, starting a legendary plot again.

This time Xie Chen met the Spurs in the 2013-2014 season. The Spurs won the championship this season. In the five games of the finals, the Spurs beat the Heat by a total of 70 points, setting a new record for the largest points in the NBA Finals history. Poor record, the Heat's loss that year was really ugly.

Xie Chen used to be a member of the Heat, and he needs to help the Heat regain some face. Leonard, who won the FMVP that year, is still very immature in Xie Chen's eyes. Leonard in 2017 will be dismissed by Xie Chen Even if he fell down, he couldn't prevent Xie Chen's shot, let alone this year, he was only 22 years old at this time.

After four quarters of hard work, Xie Chen finally defeated the legendary Spurs and retained his ability.

…

Returning to the real game, Xie Chen re-examined the game.

"Everything went smoothly, the ability was maintained, and the point difference was not caught up. It seems that there is really no need to reveal the hidden ability today."

In order to ensure victory and prevent the Spurs from forcing Xie Chen to use his hidden abilities, Xie Chen continued to attack and defend frantically. Everyone was frightened by Xie Chen's hard work. If they knew that he had played two games in a row, They would probably be even more surprised.

"There should be no problem in this game, but I'm afraid it will still be difficult to play when we return to home." Luke Walton was also in a relaxed mood, but still remained cautious. The Spurs' performance on the field was no less good than at home.

Popovich was in a very depressed mood. He originally planned to get the match point in this game and end the suspense of the series. He really didn't expect Xie Chen to be caught off guard. He thought he had completely controlled Xie Chen, but he Still wrong.

"This guy must have some secrets that I don't know. If I can know why he does this, I will definitely be able to beat him in this series." Popovich tried to break his head, but he couldn't figure out what Xie Chen was thinking. , Xie Chen is different from any superstar opponent Popovich has encountered in the past.

LeBron James, Wade, Kobe, Durant, Westbrook, even if Popovich loses against these guys, it will not be because of tactical problems, but because of the performance of the players. The performance of these superstars is also completely dependent on Popovich. As expected by Povich, only Xie Chen was different.

The suspense of this series also lies in who can beat whom between Xie Chen and Popovich.

At the same time, the Celtics defeated the Raptors again at home and actually led the Raptors 3:1 and got the match point. This made many people start to worry about the Raptors. In the past few seasons, the Raptors have been regular He performed well in the game, but once it came to the playoffs, he was unable to show his attitude as a strong team in the Eastern Conference. Last season, he ranked first in the Eastern Conference, but was swept by the eighth in the Eastern Conference. If he loses to the Cavaliers this year, it is still within the acceptable range. But if they are defeated again, Raptors fans will be really disappointed.

The next day, in the match between the Warriors and the Clippers, the Warriors successfully withstood the Clippers' offensive and won another away game, leading the opponent with a total score of 3:1. The Clippers were in danger, and the combination of Paul, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan also I'm afraid it will soon become history.

The Cavaliers lost their first game of this series in New Orleans and were defeated by the Hornets in one game, but looking at the general trend, there seems to be no suspense.

At this time, the Eastern and Western semifinals were also at their most intense. The Lakers and Spurs were the only teams to tie 2:2, and they were also the most suspenseful pair of opponents. In the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, The battle is directly related to who will win in the end.

Before the game started, Ke Fan and Su Qun also chatted about the much-anticipated Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Ke Fan said: "The Lakers and Spurs each won two games before. Generally speaking, every time the Lakers win, it is very thrilling. Unlike the Spurs, winning makes people feel safe. Returning to the home court in the fifth game is still very good for the Lakers." Advantage, but the Spurs are not afraid to play away games, and even perform better in away games than at home. Mr. Su, what do you think of this battle at Tianwang Mountain?"

Su Qun said: "At this point in the series, everyone has basically used all the tricks they can. Maybe Xie Chen still has some reservations. In history, most teams that won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain won in the end. In this series, if the Spurs win this game, we can still expect Xie Chen to create a miracle, but if the Lakers win, it will be difficult for the Spurs. Leonard is indeed a superstar, and the Spurs' team offense and defense It is definitely top-notch, but without superstars like Jordan and Xie Chen, without magical performance, there is no way to reverse it."

Popovich also knows the strengths and weaknesses of his team. His players are very obedient, and his ace player Leonard does not lose too much to other superstars. But the problem is that in Popovich None of my players look like superstars, they have no ego, everyone is part of the team.

Leonard can imitate all of Jordan's technical moves to perfection, but he cannot have Jordan's ambition and fighting spirit on the court. He cannot understand the extent to which a player's desire for a championship will reach. If Once behind 2:3, facing a superstar who vows to win consecutive championships, it will be difficult for the Spurs to win two games in a row.

Emotions and desires, these things can sometimes kill people on the court, but sometimes, they are also a necessary thing to create magic.

It can be said that all the Spurs players combined have less desire to win the championship than Xie Chen alone.

Xie Chen appeared on the court, looking very confident. In today's game, he does not have to face the legendary Spurs. He only needs to play one game, and he does not need to worry about losing his ability, so today's winning rate will be greater. This In four games, he has not really let the Spurs feel his terrible personal ability. In today's game, Xie Chen wants Popovich and the Spurs to know what unscrupulousness means!

Today, all members of the superstar viewing group are also present.

James Harden was most concerned about the matchup between Xie Chen and the Spurs, because he was defeated by the Spurs. Harden said: "Guess how Xie Chen will play in today's game? In the last game, he threw three-pointers at the beginning, and he was defeated by the Spurs." He made consecutive shots and established the lead from the beginning, and then successfully resisted the Spurs' counterattack and won a crucial victory. Will he do the same thing again in this game?"

"Since it has been proven that it is feasible, why not do it?" Westbrook said, "I think he will still try his outside touch first. If he makes the shot, he will continue to make it, just like in the last game. That way, after all, the Spurs wouldn't be able to double-team Xie as soon as they come up."

Everyone thinks that Xie Chen will shoot three-pointers as soon as he comes up to try his hand. Popovich thinks so too. He will never allow Xie Chen to shoot three-pointers in a row like he did in the last game. He will let Leonard post it. To guard against Xie Chen, once Xie Chen is freed from the screen, another defensive player must quickly follow him to cover.

Leonard is also under a lot of pressure. In the last game, Xie Chen scored six consecutive three-pointers and was knocked down once, which made him somewhat afraid of Xie Chen.

However, Popovich, including everyone, guessed wrong again about Xie Chen's opening play.

The reason for shooting soaring three-pointers at the beginning of the previous two games was because he was afraid that he would not have a chance to show off against the legendary Spurs. Today was a home game. Xie Chen didn't have to worry about the loss of Curry's ability from beginning to end. Why take risks in the first place?

However, Xie Chen also guessed that the opponent would guard his three-pointers immediately, and he would take advantage of this.

"The game has begun, let's see if Xie Chen can still hit a three-pointer from the beginning."

"Let's see how many we can hit in a row this time."

Ke Fan and Su Qun also became excited.

The Lakers won the jump ball and the ball quickly reached Xie Chen's hands. After Xie Chen got the ball, his eyes were bright and he looked very focused. Facing Leonard's defense, he still lowered his body and dribbled the ball. This was obvious. Generally speaking, after the first half of the game, everyone's movements are relatively casual, and they dribble straight through the half, unlike Xie Chen, who has to break through the defense and shoot after receiving the ball!

Leonard swallowed his saliva at the half-court position, thinking to himself that this guy really hit a super long three-pointer as soon as he came up! He also quickly responded with a defensive stance.

In the third second of the game, players from both sides made such an action at half-court, which is unprecedented.

The Spurs players didn't know what Xie Chen wanted to do, but the Lakers players and coaches did.

Luke Walton had long asked Xie Chen if he would still score a three-pointer in the beginning of this game. Xie Chen replied that he felt that his physical strength was almost restored and there was no need for it.

"Xie, this guy is really good at acting." Wharton couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Xie Chen pretending to hit a three-pointer.

Ci Shiping and other substitute players also knew this, and they couldn't help but mutter to themselves: "Who did Xie learn his acting skills from? Is he so good?"

In fact, the beautiful teacher who taught Xie Chen acting also came to the scene today.
