Chapter 529 Indescribable Relief!

If it is a strong team against a weak team, after achieving a 2-0 lead with a total score, they will often be relatively relaxed in the third game, because they are strong enough and losing one game will have no impact on them. They are confident that they can do anything. win.

If it is a close match or a weak team versus a strong team, in the third game after leading 2-0, they will eagerly hope to win all three games. They are afraid that once their opponent pulls back a game, it may be the beginning of a reversal.

This is the current mood of the Heat. Give them one more game of luck. In this one game, as long as they gain an overwhelming advantage of 3-0, they are confident that they will be the ones to advance in the end, even if their opponent Xie Chen once did it at 0 :3 reversed the situation.

Precisely because Xie Chen has accomplished the feat of 0:3 reversal, he knows how difficult it is and requires a lot of luck. Xie Chen will never let such a thing happen again. This time, it must be Take it!

In the first quarter of the competition between the two sides, or in other words, from the first minute, the two teams showed their full strength!

Needless to say, Xie Chen showed no mercy at the beginning, and the Miami Heat didn't care at all about Xie Chen's onslaught, because they themselves were also scoring. The two sides were going back and forth. If Xie Chen scored a goal, the opponent would return one. The situation was the same. The fans in the audience were excited from the beginning, which was very intense.

"Damn, why are their shooting percentages so high!" After five minutes of play, Xie Chen tried his best, but found that the score was still deadlocked, because the Heat's shooting percentage was as surprisingly high as the previous game!

Do the Miami Heat really want to win another game with that terrifying shooting percentage?

"Oh my God, the Miami Heat's shooting percentage is so high! It was like this in the last game. I didn't expect that here they can still hit the basket accurately!"

"This is incredible. If the Heat can maintain this state, who can be their opponent?"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but worry. Xie Chen is indeed very strong, but he can't beat four hands with two fists. One person's performance cannot be as good as the performance of five others. According to the current situation, tonight may Another 120+ score game.

Xie Chen looked at the situation on the court and carefully observed each opponent, Hassan Whiteside, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson... and found that their eyes were very focused and surprisingly confident. In the past few minutes, they no longer played as conservatively as they did in the last game, but were very decisive in their actions. As long as there was an opportunity, no matter who it was, they would take action. It is really a rare thing for the whole team to have such confidence.

"I know. The magical shooting percentage they had in the last game keeps them confident so far, so they played very resolutely in this game and the effect was very good. What I have to do now is to make them forget this confidence and let them Their hit rate has dropped, and once they get back to their original form, it will be much easier to beat them."

Xie Chen realized that he could no longer just focus on scoring. He also had to destroy the opponent's confidence and momentum. Otherwise, if the opponent was allowed to continue like this, it would be really difficult to determine the outcome.

During the timeout, Xie Chen told Fisher his thoughts. He also agreed with Xie Chen's view. At present, the most important thing is to make the opponents lose their confidence and decisiveness, so that their shooting percentage will drop. To do this, first, let them attack the basket from a longer distance, and it is best to force them to shoot three-pointers, because the Heat do not have a qualified three-point shooter, and their team has the highest three-point shooting percentage. It's Chris Bosh as a big man.

Another point is that the way to reduce the hit rate is to increase confrontation, or to use the body to make small movements that make the opponent feel uncomfortable. The Knicks have a Metta World Peace who is qualified for this job. Fisher sent him in specifically to deal with Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson is also the hottest player on the Heat. It has to be said that in the playoffs, especially this series, Joe Johnson's role has been of great help to the Heat, although he cannot compare with Xie Chen. Although it cannot replace Wade's leadership position in the matchup, Joe Johnson can always stand up and help the team when it is needed most.

Joe Johnson has already scored 10 points, but he still looks calm and composed, like a cold-blooded killer. His story is very similar to that of most black players. Compared with people like Iverson, Joe Johnson is different. He is accompanied by his father and mother, but poverty and violence have been with him since he was a child.

Joe Johnson's mother taught him since he was a child not to talk to strangers casually, to stay away from anything dangerous, and most importantly not to be arrogant, so his character became like this, always so low-key, and never like Kobe Bryant James yelled like that, he would not order others to do something, and then he was commented that Joe Johnson did not have leadership qualities.

Now in the Heat, he only hopes that he can assist Wade and Bosh to win another championship, and then get a one-point contract with the Heat until he retires.

Xie Chen knew about Joe Johnson, and he also remembered what Michael Jordan, who was also Joe Johnson’s idol, said about his desire for victory. Xie Chen believed that he was far stronger than Joe Johnson in this regard, so this series , Joe Johnson had a chance to stop Xie Chen, but he couldn't do it.

Ci Shiping finally has a place to play, and it is perfect to use him to defend Joe Johnson. The two are almost the same age. Joe Johnson is only two years younger than Ci Shiping, and their height, weight, speed and even... The jumping is not much different, they all belong to people who have lost their talent and use experience and skills to play ball.

Ci Shiping is also very familiar with Joe Johnson. Both of them have been in the league for a long time. Ci Shiping does not want to talk trash to Joe Johnson. He will only do his best to make Joe Johnson's shots uncomfortable.

There was no verbal communication between the two, but after the game restarted, Ci Shiping immediately started fighting with Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson was also a guy with strong muscles and a very strong body, so if Ci Shiping wanted to deal with him, he had to He had to use more strength. Before Joe Johnson could catch the ball, Ci Shiping was clinging to him. Joe Johnson was made to have a hard time every step of the way. Fortunately, the referee saw that the two men's actions were a little too much. The whistle gave Ci Shiping a foul.

It doesn't matter if Ci Shiping is called for a foul. Isn't that what his job is? Before leaving the game after the foul, he has to put Joe Johnson into a nightmare as much as possible.

In singles, Joe faced Ci Shiping one-on-one. The two veterans competed on the playoff stage. Joe Johnson stopped the ball and waited for a while, trying to break through Ci Shiping. Ci Shiping used his body to resist again, and the two It was really a hand-to-hand battle, but this time, Ci Shiping controlled his hands very well and did not commit a foul. Joe Johnson still played resolutely, so he took action decisively. Xie Chen saw that the ball was short and rushed forward immediately. Hassan grabbed the rebound before jumping up.

After that, they pushed forward at lightning speed. The Heat had no way to deal with Xie Chen's fast break, because they had experienced James' layup ability. It was so brutal that they couldn't touch him when he was flying. Otherwise, they couldn't touch him. There's a good chance you'll be knocked away!

Westbrook's breakthrough speed and James' layup ability are simply the strongest combination of fast break skills.

Ci Shiping made it difficult for Joe Johnson's offense, and Derrick Williams also successfully interfered with Wade's fadeaway shot. In fact, using Derrick Williams to defend Wade has been very effective. Williams' height To be better than Wade, a guy with such a tall height and long arms will definitely interfere with Wade's shooting to a great extent. In addition, Wade is no longer the Flash at his peak. He is not that fast, and Williams Williams is very young. He can keep up with Wade. In terms of physical confrontation, Williams is even better than Wade. After two games, Williams already has an understanding of Wade's routines.

Joe Johnson and Wade, the two main scorers, missed shots one after another. Dragic suddenly wanted to rush out and score by himself. As soon as he got to the basket and prepared for a layup, Xie Chen pushed him on the backboard!

"Terrible defense!" The Cavaliers who had already arrived in Chicago were also frightened. They originally thought that the Heat might be able to win another game against the Knicks in today's state, but they didn't expect that after a timeout, such an earth-shaking change would occur. .

The Heat's offense has been blocked three times in a row, and their shooting percentage has begun to decline. The Heat's self-confidence is no longer so strong and blind.

However, there is still one point that makes the Knicks feel helpless, and that is Hassan Whiteside. Fortunately, Hassan's shooting percentage itself cannot be very high. He alone can support the whole team. Hassan does not That ability.

After more than one quarter, the Heat finally returned to normalcy. The miraculous shooting percentage was unlikely to happen again. Taking this opportunity, Xie Chen finally began to vent his anger that he had been holding back for two games!

Xie Chen made a sudden layup and caused another foul.

"He burst in again! Xie played so crazy tonight, he already scored 30 points!"

"Why did he always try his best in these two games from the beginning? I'm really worried about whether he still has the physical strength to sustain it in the fourth quarter. The Heat are not a team that can be defeated in three quarters!"

physical strength? Xie Chen no longer needs to think about this thing!

Under Xie Chen's super performance, the Knicks led the Heat by 10 points at halftime, but the Knicks had led the Heat in the past, but never converted into a goal, so the temporary lead did not make everyone happy.

During halftime, Fisher asked Xie Chen: "Do you need to sleep for a while?"

Fisher thought that Xie Chen scored more than 30 points in another half and must be as tired as the last game, but Xie Chen smiled and said, "No need, I'm in great spirits now!"

Anthony also smiled and said: "I also noticed that you are different today from the past two. You seem to be particularly excited."

"Of course, because we are going to win." Xie Chen said with a smile. Xie Chen's confidence also inspired his teammates.

In the third quarter, Xie Chen's performance was still brave, and not only in terms of scoring. In this quarter, he simply turned into a rebounding maniac. Xie Chen could always judge the direction of the rebound in advance when his opponent missed the ball. First He gets the rebound in time, and he doesn't even let go of the rebounds thrown by his own team.

Dragic and Xie Chen couldn't get rebounds, Wade couldn't get them, Luol Deng couldn't get them, and even Hassan was defeated by Xie Chen several times.

"This is so jumpy!" Hassan Whiteside reacted slowly, so even with his tall body and slender arms, Xie Chen still snatched the rebound away.

Rebounds are the key to winning. In the third quarter, the Heat lost too many rebounds and the score gradually widened.

"Xie really worked hard in this game, but I doubt that he wasted his energy like this. Once the Heat start to counterattack in the next quarter, will he still have the energy to lead the team to hold on to the score?" Kevin Love of the Cavaliers also said He was so dumbfounded. He had never seen a defender grab rebounds like Xie Chen. He just didn't stop. He would jump wherever he saw the ball. Once he couldn't reach it, he would push the ball up. Take off again quickly and do it again without any confidence. No one can stand such a jump.

"It's over, it's over. Xie Chen spent too much energy on scoring and rebounding in the first three quarters. He's going to collapse in the fourth quarter!" Many netizens also began to look down on Xie Chen's performance in the fourth quarter.

Because as far as the previous game was concerned, just scoring in the first two quarters made Xie Chen so tired that he couldn't help but fall asleep on the bench. Now, not only is he scoring, but he is also fighting so hard for rebounds, which will undoubtedly put him at risk. Xie Chen collapsed from exhaustion.

But what they didn't know was that the reason why Xie Chen had physical problems in the first two games was because he played two games in a row! But tonight, he only needs one fight!

Of course, playing a game is tiring enough, but after adapting to two high-intensity games, playing another game, the experience is so relaxing that it is beyond words!

Playing in the fourth quarter, Xie Chen didn't feel any fatigue at all!

"I'm used to challenging two teams in a row, but I'm still a little uncomfortable playing just one game..." Xie Chen smiled, looking relaxed.

Now that the Knicks are 15 points ahead, many people think that the Heat will counterattack in this quarter, but can Xie Chen let such a thing happen?

Xie Chen held the ball at the top of the arc and suddenly slowed down his speed. Many fans began to worry.

"No, Xie is tired. His ball control has obviously slowed down!"

Xie Chen's "slowness" is different from what others think of "slowness".

The next second, Xie Chen suddenly rushed forward and went straight to the Heat's inside line!

Stoudemire was the first to be alert and immediately rushed forward. He thought Xie Chen was going to force a layup, so he was ready to drag Xie Chen down. However, Xie Chen's jump was much higher than he thought, and his momentum was much higher than he expected. Be stronger!

boom!

Xie Chen actually ignored Stoudemire's pull and dunked the ball into the basket!

Stoudemire fell to the ground!

Additional penalties!

"Does this look like he's exhausted?" a Knicks fan asked.
