Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 846 Advance to the Western Conference Finals!
After hugging for five seconds, the legendary game ended, and Xie Chen immediately returned to the 2017 playoffs. At this time, the Lakers had just completed their offense. Xie Chen was a little sluggish in place and did not enter the new game immediately. In this state, playing four full quarters and one overtime was really draining on his mind and body. However, Xie Chen seemed very excited at this moment because of what Yaya just said.
"Am I such an invincible person in the hearts of my fans and those who admire me? As long as I want to do it, I can definitely do it... I have never lost a series..." Xie Chen is indeed a very confident person, but he is not far from what fans imagined. Even if Xie Chen has a lot of talents, he can't do anything he wants to do.
However, Xie Chen has indeed not lost a series since entering the league. It would be a perfect thing if he could retire with a complete victory.
Xie Chen suddenly felt that he could still smell Yaya's perfume in his nose and the body fragrance that can only be felt when hugged. Her encouragement made Xie Chen temporarily forget about his fatigue and became excited instead.
"I want to deal with the Spurs quickly and face the most powerful opponent in my career, the Golden State Warriors!" Xie Chen suddenly became impatient. He couldn't wait to play a series with the Warriors tomorrow. He would not allow the team to be tied by the Spurs and then If the game is dragged into overtime, Xie Chen may be forced to use Michael Jordan's layup ability. His ultimate ability can only be used when he encounters the strongest opponent!
Xie Chen quickly performed a flying dunk again!
"This is really a monster with strong physical fitness. It seems that we can't expect him to perform poorly in the second half." Popovich saw that Xie Chen was still full of physical strength in the second half. In fact, Xie Chen was already very tired, having played two games. Minutes later, he left the field and took a break.
Xie Chen must take a breather on the bench first, because his current offensive desire and defensive status have dropped to a level. His ability is indeed still there, and it does not consume physical energy, but opportunities must always be created by himself.
In the past two hours, Xie Chen had to make different offensive choices according to different defenses every time he attacked. He was really tired now. When he saw the rebound flying over, he couldn't even lift his legs to grab it.
At the beginning of the game, Xie Chen could still rely on his keen sense of smell and consciousness to see through the Spurs' tactical coordination, so as to steal the ball and start a fast break. Now Xie Chen found that his brain was turning very slowly, and his defense was not as good as at the beginning. when.
Of course, no one noticed this. Xie Chen just deliberately made a domineering dunk, making everyone think that Xie Chen's condition was still the same as at the beginning of the game.
"The longer the time drags on, the more the Spurs will be afraid of my physical fitness. They don't want to play overtime, and I don't want to play either!" Xie Chen didn't want to play overtime more than any other Spurs player, but God didn't allow it. .
The scores of the Spurs and Lakers increased alternately, and this situation continued until the end of the fourth quarter.
Popovich sighed and said: "I wanted to seal the victory at this time, but I didn't expect to be dragged to the end by the Lakers. Pau Gasol, Aldridge, and Leonard were all in good condition and physical fitness. If there is overtime, it may be detrimental to us."
The members of the superstar viewing group are also unanimously optimistic about the Lakers who have physical monster Xie Chen.
"The Spurs have always performed very well at critical moments, but in overtime, their core players' physical fitness cannot match Shebby. I'm afraid today's game will repeat the results of the last game." James Harden said.
Carmelo Anthony also smiled and said: "I also think the Lakers have a high probability of winning. Victory is close at hand, and Xie will definitely take it. If they advance tonight, should they invite Xie out for a high show?"
"Oh, that's necessary. If you beat the Spurs, you'll reach the Western Conference finals. It's worth celebrating. If you don't celebrate now, I don't think there will be any chance to do this when the Western Conference finals are over." James Harden was going to the nightclub when he heard that He immediately became excited, but his words also revealed that he was not optimistic that Xie Chen's Lakers could defeat the Warriors.
Finally, Xie Chen didn't want to play overtime, and the Spurs didn't want to play overtime, but the two teams tied again in the fourth quarter and entered the overtime competition!
"Oh my God, I'm going to vomit. Four quarters after four quarters, overtime after overtime, is it over yet?" Xie Chen has played two consecutive four-quarter games plus an overtime, and now he has another Overtime is required, and both games are playoff games that are fought from start to finish. Tonight is another win-or-go-home game for the Spurs.
Xie Chen had been playing in such a high-intensity game for such a long time, and it was a bit too much for him mentally and physically.
"The Spurs are too difficult to deal with. I swear I never want to play against the Spurs again. I don't even have an opponent who can talk trash to cheer me up! I was bored from beginning to end for four consecutive hours!" Xie Chen couldn't stand the Spurs anymore. I hope the game is against the Warriors, at least the opponent will constantly provoke Xie Chen, talk trash and cheer up the pretense. The Spurs are strong but the players have low-key personalities, which is really drowsy.
In the Spurs dugout, every Spurs player also felt a lot of pressure.
Gasol, Aldridge, Tony Parker, Leonard and Danny Green all showed fatigue. They are not afraid of being tired. What is more terrifying than being tired is the fear of overtime in their hearts. of fear.
"Will that guy still be so unstoppable in overtime?" Leonard wiped his sweat and thought to himself. The more Xie Chen plays in overtime, the better he is. This is a well-known thing in the league. Xie Chen has played continuously before. In several overtime games, when others were exhausted, he could still perform fancy dunks, and his shooting percentage did not decrease at all.
In the Lakers dugout, because both Nick Young and Luol Deng had a lot of fouls, Brandon Ingram played a lot of time today and was in good shape. Luke Walton kept him at the end. See Ingram. Mu looked like he was breathing heavily and was under a lot of pressure. Walton knew that he was a rookie, so he patted his shoulder and said, "How are you? Can you still hold on?"
"I can, coach," Ingram replied.
Walton smiled and said: "I know you are tired, but you don't have to be too stressed. If you persist for a while, we will win. Xie will lead us to victory. No matter how many overtimes we play today, Xie will It’s the same as when we first played. With such a superman in our team, there’s nothing to be nervous about, right, Xie?”
Xie Chen, who had long been exhausted physically and mentally, was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "Yes, the coach is right. My physical fitness now feels the same as when I first played."
There is no way, no matter how tired you are, you can't show it. You have to give your teammates confidence and make your opponents fearful. But now Xie Chen really doesn't want to play for a minute. If there is a second overtime, Xie Chen can't guarantee whether he will. Remove the basket.
The most critical battle of the series, four quarters of fighting has exhausted all the main players physically and mentally. Fortunately, they did not have serious injuries, otherwise, they might not be able to hold on now.
Now the Spurs and Xie Chen want to resolve the battle as soon as possible and cannot continue to be entangled endlessly. It is conceivable that the offense of the two teams will be more fierce in the future.
Leonard continued to mark Xie Chen. Seeing Xie Chen's relaxed look, he thought to himself: "Xie's shooting percentage will still be very high, so he will not hesitate to attack. Once he gets the ball, he will Always be ready to prevent him from shooting."
When the Lakers attacked, Xie Chen ran without the ball and caught the ball from the right side. Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball was passed to Xie Chen's hands, it instantly escaped from Xie Chen's hands and continued to move to the right.
"Not sure?" Everyone was surprised. Could it be that Xie Chen didn't hold the pass firmly when he caught the ball? Caused the ball to be released?
In fact, this is indeed the case. Xie Chen has been playing on the court for too long. His concentration is not as high as before, and he has never made such a mistake in receiving the ball in the whole game. When he was preparing to catch the ball, I was already thinking about how to play the ball. Coupled with the decline in physical fitness and the intensity of passing the ball, I suddenly couldn't hold the ball firmly.
However, as soon as the ball flew out of his hands, Xie Chen followed him instantly. The ball flew towards the three-point line. Xie Chen also stepped to the three-point line in one step, while Leonard was completely unexpected. This would happen. He had already prepared a defensive posture to prevent Xie Chen's shot. Who would have thought that Xie Chen didn't even catch the ball and it flew out?
Leonard followed quickly, but was obviously a step slower than Xie Chen.
Although Xie Chen almost made a mistake, he was unintentional. This mistake happened to lead Xie Chen outside the three-point line. When Xie Chen received the ball outside the three-point line, Leonard was still talking to him. There is some distance.
Xie Chen didn't hesitate at all, and instantly started Curry's three-point shooting. Leonard flew to block the shot, which did not cause any interference.
Uh-huh!
Three-pointer scored!
"This is not a mistake. This must be Xie deliberately pretending not to catch the ball, and then running to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer. Xie's reaction speed and physical fitness are better than Leonard. Such an unexpected move, Leonard Nader might not be able to keep up, which is what Xie wants to see."
"Yes, Xie's physical fitness and concentration have always been the strongest in the league. There was a key steal in the last overtime game. How could he not even catch the ball today? This must be a move deliberately designed by Xie, but his performance It's so realistic. The panic he showed when the ball came out of his hand, and the strength of his control of the basketball when it hit the ball, just enough to slow down the rapidly rotating basketball so that it wouldn't jump out of bounds all of a sudden, allowing Xie to catch up in time. It must have taken a long time to practice to get to the three-point line."
Everyone thought that this was a deliberate move by Xie Chen. Westbrook knew that Xie Chen and the Lakers players were practicing saving the ball, and even more convinced that Xie Chen might also train for this strange move.
Westbrook was stunned and said: "Does he even train for this kind of ball? This guy is really scary."
Carmelo Anthony said with a smile: "He always likes to practice this kind of moves that we have never practiced before. He also has a good shooting percentage from some particularly tricky angles, and his ultra-high arc rebound shots are also unique. Maybe He does the shooting we usually train so well that he doesn’t need to train anymore, so he only wants to train other moves for fun.”
Not only fans, but also opponents from other teams in the league admire Xie Chen greatly.
Popovich thought so even more. Popovich shook his head and started to feel helpless: "I'm most afraid of him playing these scoring methods that I can't understand. I thought I had controlled Xie's emotions in the first three games. and fighting style, but unexpectedly still failed, what secret does he have that I didn’t see?”
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Popovich obviously doesn't understand Xie Chen 100% yet.
Leonard also quickly succeeded in a layup, but after the basketball just hit the net, Xie Chen immediately picked up the ball that fell from the net, and then quickly stepped back and served out of bounds.
"Not good!" Seeing that it was Xie Chen who was throwing the inbounds ball, Popovich immediately realized that Xie Chen might be playing a long pass!
Sure enough, he saw Ingram already starting to run.
Whoosh!
Xie Chen used Kevin Love's long passing ability and passed a long pass to Ingram. Although Ingram consumes a lot of physical energy, he is young after all. Even if he is tired, as long as the ball is passed, he can still Can rush up as fast as possible.
Ingram received the ball at half court and ran forward very quickly. Not only was he extremely fast, but he also had long legs. No one on the Spurs could keep up with him. Then, Ingram took off and dunked with one hand!
"This is bullying the Spurs into not being able to keep up!"
"Xie really dared to pass the ball and scored two unexpected goals in overtime!"
Popovich's face was expressionless. He didn't scold the players, and there were some bad omens starting to appear.
The Lakers led by four points at first. The Spurs wanted to tie, but they showed a sense of powerlessness on the court.
Seeing this scene, Stephen Curry of the Warriors stared at the TV screen motionless. He suddenly became extremely calm and whispered: "The Lakers are coming to challenge us."
Klay Thompson, who signed a contract with a Chinese sports brand, also had a serious face. He knew that the difficult opponent in the past two years was about to appear again, and this time Klay Thompson would still be the main defender against Xie Chen. Thompson even said a sentence in Chinese: " There is a saying in China that 'no one comes with good intentions'."
Both Curry and Thompson expressed their worries about the next match against Xie Chen. Coach Cole glanced at the screen. Xie Chen completed another key block on Leonard. The Lakers had already secured the victory. Coach Cole smiled. He smiled and said: "We are the ones here. We go to their home court to challenge them. They should feel panic."
Coach Cole lost to Xie Chen twice in the past two years. Cole has Kevin Durant again this year. He wants to take revenge for the past two years!
At the home court of the Spurs, Luke Walton was already laughing before the overtime ended. The Lakers bench also cheered. The Spurs players on the field were still making their final struggle, but they also knew that this game, they Can't get it back.
The final buzzer sounded, and the Lakers defeated the Spurs 108:101, with a total score of 4:2, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
