Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 843 Win Tianwang Mountain!
The Battle of Tianwangshan has always been the most fiercely competitive game in the series, and this time was no exception. The Lakers and Spurs both showed their strongest performances in the playoffs to compete for this victory.
Xie Chen did almost everything he could do, including scoring, assists, rebounds, and steals. Xie Chen could appear anywhere on the court. This was also the most painful defense for Leonard. Xie Chen was too versatile and too fast. Fast, Leonard has been shaken off by Xie Chen's speed countless times, but he has nothing to do about it. If Leonard knew that Xie Chen had a more useless layup ability, I don't know if he would be more... despair.
Although defensively, the Spurs tried their best but were still unable to do anything, but offensively, they continued to respond to the Lakers' goals with exquisite team assists.
Leonard is worthy of being the ace player of the Spurs. He is also the only Spurs player who can stand up and respond to Xie Chen. Leonard's singles are particularly stable. Whether he is facing Luol Deng, Nick Young or Xie Chen, he He can easily score hits and even catch the ball with one hand from time to time, showing his kingly spirit.
Simmons was also very excited after playing. His physical talent is also outstanding. He had seen his teammates off the court before being helpless against the talented Xie Chen. He was also anxious off the court. He wanted to play with him. Xie Chen had passed the trick, so when he saw Xie Chen turning on Westbrook's speed and making a one-stop layup, he rushed over at high speed to chase the block, and he really got hit by him.
The two commentators also enjoyed watching it. Su Qun said: "These should be the strongest Spurs and the strongest Lakers. I really didn't expect that the fifth game brought out their best sides. Look. The two teams were evenly matched. Under this performance, the score was very close and no one could pull away. I originally thought the Spurs would be stronger."
Ke Fan said: "Xie Chen really worked hard today. It can be seen that he struggled to score every goal. Just because of his struggle with Leonard throughout the game, most people would not be able to survive the fourth quarter. From before Judging from the game, Xie Chen’s physical fitness is still good, I hope he will not be affected by his physical fitness in the fourth quarter.”
This is indeed the game that consumes the most physical energy for Xie Chen this season. Leonard is very difficult to deal with. Every time you want to score on him, you have to work hard. If shooting also consumes physical energy, Xie Chen He may not be able to last the whole game, but he has the system ability, and he is already used to playing two games in a row. Not to mention just four quarters, even if four overtimes are added, physical fitness is not a problem.
On the contrary, other players usually do not play for as long as Xie Chen. Once they enter overtime, their physical fitness and shooting percentage may drop a lot.
"Even if I can't beat the Spurs in four quarters, I still have to try my best to drag the game into overtime. Once it reaches overtime, my chance of winning will be even greater."
Xie Chen said secretly.
The game was still going on fiercely. Xie Chen's personal score exceeded 50 points, and Leonard also scored 35 points while defending Xie Chen throughout the game.
35 points is just a very ordinary score for Xie Chen, but for Leonard, it is already a high score, especially when he has consumed so much energy on the defensive end, he can score 35 points, which is already a big deal. Many Spurs fans were surprised.
Xie Chen had decided to immediately use Michael Jordan's layup ability once the score fell behind. But fortunately, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers basically took the lead and the Spurs chased, but the Spurs did not overtake.
Xie Chen also thought that if he couldn't score points with other scoring abilities in the last minute or two, he would use Jordan's abilities, but his three-pointers and fadeaway jumpers were still accurate.
But even so, Leonard of the Spurs finally hit a magical three-pointer at the buzzer, and the Spurs and Lakers entered overtime.
The members of the superstar viewing group also enjoyed watching it. Towns praised: "It was really a great game. Needless to say, Xie has such results. It is no surprise that Leonard four It was amazing to score 38 points in the quarter, especially the crucial three-pointer at the buzzer at the end."
James Harden also said: "In our series with the Spurs, there is nothing we can do against this guy, but I can see that his physical energy is almost exhausted. He rarely scores 38 points in the regular season. Now he is In the playoffs, he stared at Xie for a whole game, and anyone else would have collapsed."
Leonard was sitting on the Spurs bench. He seemed to be breathing heavily. Popovich also knew that Leonard had consumed too much energy with Xie Chen on the defensive end. When the last ball was handed to him, , Popovich was even ready to lose.
"How's it going? Can you still hold on? I can use someone else to defend Xie." Popovich patted Leonard on the shoulder.
For a moment, Leonard, who was panting, suddenly saw his long-dead father. He saw his father returning home after working at the car wash. He was exhausted, and then he lay on the sofa tiredly and said to him: "I I never want to wash someone’s car again, never again.”
His father said this every time, but every time the next morning, his father went to work early again. His father was such a hardworking person and taught Leonard this way.
Unfortunately, it was for this reason that his father lost his life. That night, his father was supposed to close up early to watch Leonard's high school game, but a car drove into the car wash and his father He didn't refuse, and then something unfortunate happened.
When the Spurs won the championship in 2014, the day Leonard won the FMVP trophy happened to be Father's Day. At that moment, all Spurs fans were cheering and all Heat fans were upset. Only Leonard's eyes were filled with tears and he was stunned. He raised his head blankly, not knowing what he was looking up at, and he felt surprisingly calm.
"I can, I can!" Leonard suddenly responded to Popovich's question in a roaring tone, even Tony Parker and others were a little scared.
In the Spurs team, veterans such as Parker, Ginobili and Gasol have all won enough championships. For their roles, their honors are enough, but for Leonard He said that one FMVP is obviously not enough. He wants to get more championship trophies to dedicate to his father.
So, in the first overtime, Xie Chen thought it would be much easier to deal with Leonard, but he didn't expect that it would be more difficult to deal with than in the previous few minutes!
The first time Xie Chen played against Leonard in isolation, he was beaten by Leonard before he even made a move. Fortunately, Xie Chen made a counter-steal in time and finally went out of bounds, so he was not successfully intercepted by Leonard.
"With such a short rest period, it is impossible for him to recover so quickly." Xie Chen was once a "normal person", so he knew very well that a short rest period would not allow a tired person to recover much. Leonard must have something. Motivation spurred him on.
Seeing Leonard once again showing terrifying defense, preventing Xie Chen from scoring easily, Popovich also nodded with great appreciation. He has always felt that he is very lucky to have met so many outstanding basketball players, but And they all play so diligently. There are many capable superstars in the league who have troubles with their team coaches and refuse to obey anyone. But with Popovich, this has never happened.
GDP, Aldridge, Gasol, Leonard...which one is not an All-Star?
In this way, the two sides were still unable to decide the winner in the first overtime and continued into the second overtime!
"Double overtime! The first double overtime game in this year's playoffs was really intense. It was evenly matched from the first quarter and it stayed that way until the fourth quarter. In fact, both teams played very well. I believe the game will be over in the end. At that moment, the fans of the losing team will definitely be very sad." Ke Fan said calmly.
Su Qun nodded: "Yes, if you don't perform well, you will accept the loss. They all played so well. I really can't bear to see which team loses. But no matter who loses or wins, the Lakers and Spurs are both." He is a respectable opponent. Now in the second overtime, the physical requirements will be very high, especially for Leonard and Xie Chen who have been entangled throughout the game. Xie Chen seems to be fine, and Leonard Yes, but Leonard's shooting percentage is starting to drop."
Maybe Leonard could rely on the teachings given by his father and this spiritual idea to survive the first overtime, but in the second overtime, his fatigue was uncontrollable.
In the second overtime, facing Leonard, Xie Chen once again used Westbrook's breakthrough speed. After the breakthrough, he made an emergency stop and immediately pulled out and scored two points.
The Spurs also let Leonard play in isolation, but Leonard's shot missed.
This is a very good lead opportunity.
But the Spurs' defense really couldn't block it. Xie Chen couldn't find a chance to shoot, and finally passed the ball. Nick Young reluctantly took the shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame, and Gasol got the rebound.
Just when everyone thought that the Spurs would immediately launch a defensive counterattack after getting the rebound, Xie Chen did not quickly return to defense, but quietly and suddenly ran towards Gasol!
Xie Chen knew that Gasol's movements were very slow, and it was also very slow to handle the ball after he got the rebound. When he just got the rebound, Xie Chen jumped over and knocked him away from behind. Basketball in hand!
Gasol was very panicked. This was a critical moment of the game. The team was counting on this attack to tie the score. If Xie Chen was allowed to cut off like this, Gasol would be the guilty party.
Therefore, Gasol also rushed over desperately to grab the ball with Xie Chen.
Although Gasol is old, he is an inside player after all. When competing with Xie Chen, this big guy still has to take advantage. So, Xie Chen used Karl Malone's power to push Gasol away, and then quickly Go forward and save the ball that's about to go out of bounds.
The members of the superstar spectator group also had their eyes widened, because basketball is for them. They are all strong and strong. They are not ordinary spectators. They are not afraid of Xie Chen hitting him when he saves the ball. Besides, they are all good friends, even if they really fly. Come here, they will catch Xie Chen instead of avoiding him.
Xie Chen also saw this, so he prepared to perform the rescue performance that he had practiced for some time!
Xie Chen flew out of bounds and got the ball in the air. However, he did not pass the ball behind him immediately. Instead, he turned around and faced the court. He wanted to see his teammates clearly before passing the ball.
"Is he crazy?" The Spurs players were a little surprised. In this situation, most players would rather throw the ball behind their backs than dare to turn around and pass the ball. They were flying towards In the audience, no one would be afraid of the next physical collision.
Nick Young was running towards the frontcourt on the far right side, and Xie Chen passed the basketball to the far right side of the frontcourt.
Afterwards, Xie Chen fell on his two former teammates, Hassan Whiteside and Carmelo Anthony. James Harden and Westbrook also reached out to help him. Xie Chen knew that he would land smoothly, and he would not Cause any physical harm to the audience. If Xie Chen doesn't use the system's ability, these guys are stronger than himself and hurt them by himself? Xie Chen is not O'Neal.
Nick Young received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side and shot a three-pointer directly, voila!
An open three-pointer! The Lakers lead the Spurs by five points!
"Good shot!" Xie Chen also clenched his fists in excitement. He led by five points in the second overtime. This game was safe!
"This save is so cool! Thank you!" Anthony reached out and gave Xie Chen a high-five.
Xie Chen also smiled and high-fived Anthony. Since the game was still going on, he couldn't communicate with them one by one.
Westbrook looked at Xie Chen a little differently, because he knew that Xie Chen and the Lakers players had specially practiced saving the ball, so in this critical situation just now, Xie Chen could pass such a precise ball, and Nick Young also Being able to realize Xie Chen's second pass in advance and run to the position where it should appear.
"In the game against us, Xie didn't take such a risk to save the ball, but the Spurs asked Xie to do it. Unfortunately, even so, I don't think the Warriors guys will realize that this is a secret weapon of Xie." Westbrook believes This accidental second pass will not make the Warriors and Spurs suspect anything.
If the Lakers lose this game, Xie Chen still has a secret weapon that can bring the game back. If the Lakers win, the Spurs, who have already unleashed their full strength, will have a hard time changing the score.
In the last two minutes, the Lakers defended hard and finally defended the Spurs, failing to allow them to tie the score again. In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Spurs by 2 points and won the battle at Tianwang Mountain!
"The Lakers won! They won the key Tianwangshan! Xie Chen got a 60+ triple-double against the Spurs. He was really the first player to do this on top of the Spurs. Leonard's performance also set a new record in his career. The history of his career, but unfortunately he still lost to Xie Chen." Ke Fan sighed with emotion, this was really a wonderful game.
Su Qun also praised: "In this battle at Tianwang Mountain, if the team that advances finally wins the championship, I think it can be ranked among the top ten in the playoffs. It is very scary for Xie Chen to get the match point. I don’t know if the Spurs have a chance to equalize.”
