Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 866 Another secret weapon?
"Haha, we won! I didn't expect Xie to be inaccurate at times. This victory is so rare."
"It's not that Xie didn't grasp the timing, but Kevin Durant's block prevented Xie from taking a shot before the buzzer. If Xie had shot before the last second, he would have been blocked by KD, I guess. Xie already knew at that time that he would lose no matter what, so he would rather choose a more dignified way."
"So what if Xie exposed another hidden ability? Didn't he lose the game? I guess he has no hidden abilities anymore!"
The Warriors fans at the scene were very excited, and friends high-fived each other to celebrate.
This game was not played like the third game of the series, but more like the seventh game of the series or the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. It can be seen from Green's emotion during the game that they particularly care about this victory. The first battle even inspired the strongest Durant, who actually scored nearly 60 points in the playoffs. You know, during the regular season, whether this year or when he was the Thunder's scoring champion in the past, he had no scoring success. Having scored so many points, he is not a player like Kobe who can be ruthless from beginning to end. Today, thanks to Green's stimulation.
Green also prepared an MVP for this series. Judging from these three games, if the Warriors win, the one who gets this trophy may not be Curry and the other three, but the newly joined Durant. But Durant What I want to win is the FMVP. Curry, Thompson, and Green all want this trophy more than Durant.
After Xie Chen showed his ultimate ability, the Warriors defeated the Lakers. This victory was of great significance to the Warriors.
Coach Cole also had a smile on his face. He did not look at the excitement of the players, but looked at Xie Chen, who was slightly disappointed, and secretly said in his heart: "Xie, do you still have the ability to hide? Just use it, you can do it again." Strong, after all, is a person. After controlling you tonight, Brandon Ingram's performance really shocked me. I almost lost to you because of this rookie. Luke Walton still has some real ability. , It’s a pity that no matter who it is next, they won’t be able to give me such frights and surprises again.”
After receiving this victory, Coach Cole felt a lot more comfortable. He firmly believed that Xie Chen no longer had any secret weapons to use, so the next competition would be easier to deal with.
Xie Chen was a little annoyed. If only there had been one more second of time left, Xie Chen could have completed the winning goal. This victory belonged to the Lakers.
LeBron James watched the entire game, and he didn't think the series had lost its suspense.
"The Warriors only narrowly won by one point at home, and if the time had been one more second, the winner would have been the Lakers. The Lakers played very well tonight and basically showed their strongest strength. Can the Warriors win? It proves that the Warriors are the stronger team."
James is all focused on the series between the Warriors and the Lakers, and doesn't even think much about the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics. He is very confident that he can advance to the finals, and he is also very melancholy about who should he meet?
From the perspective of the probability of winning the championship, it is naturally best to meet the Lakers. The Lakers have very obvious characteristics. However, from a personal emotional point of view, James is really unwilling to meet Xie Chen in the playoffs. He will lose every time he meets, but it seems After today’s game, the Warriors are really difficult to beat. In games between the Cavaliers and the Warriors this season, they are often beaten in the third quarter. If Durant is as strong as he is today in every game, no one in the Cavaliers can guard him. Durant.
After the game, everyone on the Warriors side was happy, but the Lakers side were not downcast. After returning to the locker room, everyone was still in a calm mood. After all, it was the third game, and they didn't lose much.
But now we are 1:2 behind, and it will be troublesome for the Warriors to get match point in the next game. So, Nick Young asked: "Coach, should we let the Warriors see our secret training in the next game?"
As soon as they heard Nick Young's words, the whole team became excited. The Lakers' secret special training this season, in addition to long passes, is also about saving the ball.
Convert some balls that were not originally offensive opportunities into offensive opportunities and catch the opponent off guard. However, although Luke Walton asked them to train, and now it seems that the training is good, but after all, they have not been tested on the field. Walton actually does not agree with this because it is too risky, and the players and the fans at the scene are worried. There is a risk of injury, and if the pass is not good after saving the ball, it will give the opponent a chance.
Luke Walton said: "No, it's only the third game now, we are only one game behind, and everyone played very well today. We could have won. As long as everyone continues to do what we did today in the next game, I believe we will equalize the score in the next game.”
Luol Deng is older and is also afraid of this kind of desperate save. He said: "Yes, if there was one more second left at the end today, we would have won. It was just their luck that they were ahead."
Luke Walton also agreed with Luol Deng's words and continued to give everyone confidence, saying: "The goddess of luck will not favor them twice in a row. Of course, we cannot take it lightly. In the next game, we cannot let Kevin Durant do that again. He scored easily, so we have to find a way to deal with him.”
Seeing Walton's headache when he mentioned Durant, Xie Chen thought to himself, would Steve Kerr and Xie Chen's opponents in the past feel the same way when they think of him?
…
The next day, the Clackland Cavaliers came to Boston to challenge the Celtics. The Cavaliers had already taken a 2:0 lead before, and the Celtics were in danger. If they lose this game again, the series will become 3: 0. Unless there is Xie Chen in the Celtics, no one can come back from being three games behind.
Compared to the series between the Warriors and the Lakers, the series between the Cavaliers and the Celtics has not received as much attention, because everyone feels that there is no suspense for the Cavaliers to win against the Celtics, and the Celtics belong to the third team. The second group of teams.
In fact, most people regard the Lakers as a team lower than the Warriors, but the key point is that the Lakers have Xie Chen. Xie Chen has various surprising abilities and performances, but what can the Celtics do? To amaze the audience?
"Xie is such a hateful guy!" At the North Shore Garden Arena, although tonight's opponent was the Cavaliers, there were still fans scolding Xie Chen, who had already arrived in the Western Conference...
Just listen to that fan saying: "If Xie hadn't defeated the Warriors in the Finals last season, it would have been impossible for the Warriors to ask for Kevin Durant. Since Durant is leaving the Thunder and can't go to the Warriors, then he may join the Celtics. Celtics, if Durant is really on this team, think about his partnership with Thomas, Horford, and Bradley, then the Celtics will immediately become a team that is not inferior to the Cavaliers."
It turns out that this fan is also a fan of Durant and really hopes that Durant will join the Celtics. In his heart, he also thinks that the current Celtics are slightly weaker than the Cavaliers and have little hope of promotion. Thomas is an All-Star. player, but his height limits him from performing very well in the playoffs, and others cannot compete with the Cavaliers' Big Three.
The Cavaliers really wanted to get the match point in this game. As long as the score was 3:0, they could sit back and relax. However, the Celtics team struggled all season and finally became the second best team in the Eastern Conference. If they are eliminated in a swept situation, it would be a shame for their hard work and support for their fans this season.
The Celtics' coach and general manager also used the Lakers in the Western Conference as an example to motivate their players. Xie Chen alone can win a game against the Warriors, who are stronger than the Cavaliers. Why can't they beat the Cavaliers? The Cavaliers are not that unsolvable team.
After the Celtics' tenacious resistance, they successfully withstood the Cavaliers' attack. Finally, after four quarters of hard work, they finally defeated the Cavaliers and turned the series score into 1:2.
After losing a game, James and Irving didn't feel anything. They still looked like they had a chance to win. After the game, James' mind was completely on the showdown between the Western Warriors and the Lakers. This shows James' confidence in advancing to the finals. How strong.
Thinking of the past two years in the Eastern Conference finals, after losing to Xie Chen, James would never be so relaxed.
"It's really a lot of relief for Xie to leave the Eastern Conference. After playing against Xie for two years, I didn't even pay attention to the Celtics' counterattack. I don't know what the fourth game between the Warriors and the Lakers will be. What kind of result?"
…
Oracle Center, Game 4 of the Warriors-Lakers series.
Both the Warriors and the Lakers attach great importance to the outcome of this game. For the Lakers, it is definitely a matter of life and death. Once the Warriors get the match point, the season is expected to be over. Although the Warriors are ahead, but They had no intention of relaxing at all. They knew what level of opponent Xie Chen was, and they had to get the match point in this game and not give the Lakers a chance to equalize.
So as soon as the game started, players from both sides were very serious.
After the Lakers started, the first thing they hit was Mozgov. Mozgov has been practicing his singles ability for a season. The Warriors are not strong inside, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to score.
Xie Chen handed the ball to Mozgov for the first time. After receiving the ball, Mozgov turned over and shot a jumper, hitting the baseline mid-range on the left side of the basket.
Subsequently, in the second attack, Xie Chen once again handed the ball to Mozgov in the low post, and stood far away from the basket, allowing Mozgov to play in singles.
There was a sound of surprise at the scene.
"Let Mozgov play in isolation again? Are they so confident in this big man?"
"This is what our Warriors are looking forward to, as long as it's not a goal."
The Lakers have no All-Star players except Xie Chen. In addition, Xie Chen is too capable, which makes the players around him seem ordinary. In fact, each of these guys has made great progress this season.
Mozgov is the former main center of the Cavaliers. He has played many big games with James and the three of them. Now he has a heavy responsibility and is not nervous.
Mozgov did not shoot again this time. He dribbled the ball, broke through Pachulia and came to the basket. He made a fake shot, followed by another fake shot, and the ball that Pachulia shook was nowhere to be found. , In the end, Mozgov easily deceived Pachulia and succeeded at the basket.
"DREAMSHAKE! Mozgov's dreamy steps are so good!"
Mozgov's shooting did not make the Warriors feel threatened. Instead, he showed off his dream moves, which surprised everyone.
In fact, in terms of personality, Mozgov still prefers more ordinary and simple layups, or simple shooting, but Xie Chen insisted on letting Mozgov develop such skillful footsteps, and even told him that even if the final shot If you don't score, your steps must be beautiful and you must make your opponent look powerful!
Especially for the enemy warriors, you must definitely scare them.
The Lakers are playing Mozgov, and the Warriors are still using Durant as the main offensive point. Durant performed well in the last game. If he hadn't fallen behind in the third quarter, his score would have directly exceeded 60 in the last game. In this game, Durant will still want to go for this number.
Including coaches Curry, Green, and Cole all mean this. Since you are strong and your opponents can't guard you, then you have to fight on your own. It doesn't matter if we sacrifice data, as long as we win.
I used Ingram to guard Durant before. I thought Ingram was young, fast and could keep up with Durant. In addition, he was the same height and long arms as Durant, so he would also interfere with Durant's shooting. It worked a little, but ended up with very little.
So Luke Walton took down Ingram and replaced him with Randall and Luol Deng to guard him. Of course, these two people couldn't guard Durant either, but they could consume Durant. Both of them are physically strong players and will bring more physical contact to Durant. If Durant wants to escape, he will inevitably have to fight. Durant is not physically strong. Walton also hopes that Durant will be special. The fourth quarter was still crazy.
Although Randall is not a shot-blocking expert, he blocked Durant's emergency stop shot as soon as he came up. Although Durant shot the shot after getting rid of Randall, it was just the same as Randall. If you take a hasty shot after physical confrontation, the shooting point is not as high as before.
The Lakers realized that in order to win this game, they must rely on the big men in the team, whether on offense or defense.
Even though Mozgov scored consecutively, when Xie Chen got the ball, the Warriors would still treat Xie Chen with high-standard defensive treatment. As soon as Xie Chen broke through, the Warriors immediately stepped forward to double-team. Xie Chen faced the defense this time. , instead of using Jordan's layup ability to do those difficult moves, he came to the basket and passed the ball out. It was Mozgov who was also not far from the basket.
Mozgov had communicated with Xie Chen countless times before the game and knew that Xie Chen would pass the ball.
After receiving the ball, Mozgov immediately strode forward, dribbled the ball, passed someone, and reached the basket. Then he turned his back and passed a defensive player again. It looked like what was about to happen next. Dunk!
Of the three people who had just been guarding Xie Chen, only Durant, who was in the deepest position under the basket, was left. Seeing how menacing Mozgov was, such a big man even turned his back. Do you want to dunk directly?
Durant jumped to block the shot without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Mozgov flicked his hands, and the ball that seemed to be a direct dunk from the front turned into a rebound layup from the right side of the basket, and he succeeded easily.
Mozgov once again performed his dream steps and stunned the audience!
Some fans even asked: "Is this another secret weapon of the Lakers?"
Thanks oO for the hysterical Oo, really helpless little bookworm who only reads good books for the reward!
