Chapter 805 The Result of a Season of Hard Training!
Xie Chen, who has decided not to use the death dunk in the real NBA game, had enough fun in the Legend Challenge this time. Bargnani leaped 2.13 meters again and again, performing it so many times in one game. The death button is simply unthinkable.
In order to obtain mysterious power and become a world superstar in the future, what does dignity mean?
When Xie Chen obtained the basketball replication system, the system did not have any requirements for Xie Chen. If the system also had such strict requirements for Xie Chen, how would Xie Chen choose?
There is no suspense about the outcome of this legendary challenge. Regardless of the fact that the legendary Raptors themselves are not strong, the team's second scorer completely allowed Xie Chen to score, and Bosh was also disheartened. With the idea of leaving the Raptors to hug the thigh, who can the team count on? Turkoglu, who had just defeated the Cavaliers and led the team to the Finals with Howard the previous year?
Even when Turkoglu was at his peak, his scoring and three-point shooting percentage could not be compared with Xie Chen, and he was able to perform so well when he was with the Magic. I have to mention the threat that the inside man Howard posed to his opponents. Back then, The only game where the Cavaliers did not double-team Howard, Howard led the team to advance with 40+17.
In the fourth quarter, there was no suspense about the game, but Bargnani did not feel disappointed at all after losing. Sitting on the bench, he was particularly excited and looked like he couldn't wait for the game to end soon. It seemed that he thought that after the game was over, he would be able to obtain that mysterious power.
Looking at Bargnani's innocent and greedy face, Xie Chen really couldn't bear it, but no matter what, this is not the real world. When the game is over, the plot is over, even if he encounters this again next time. One day, he won't remember what happened.
…
After the game, Xie Chen returned to the real basketball arena. The score with the Raptors was still stalemate. The Raptors seemed intent on taking away a victory from the Lakers.
With the current record of the Lakers, even if the Lakers lose all the games and don't win a game, Xie Chen's regular season MVP is a sure thing. Even if Xie Chen has been able to secure the MVP, he still wants to fight for it. Fighting, one reason is that he really wants to sprint for 74 wins, and the other reason is that he feels that this is the last time he plays against the Raptors in his career. If it is the last time he plays against the Raptors, the one Xie Chen hopes to win is himself. .
In this way, when any Raptors players and fans talk about Xie Chen in the future, they will also give the highest respect, because Xie Chen faced the Raptors and swept all the playoffs and regular seasons. The Raptors will not always They all play the role of the eldest and second eldest brother in the regular season. When their record declines, or they may not even make it to the playoffs in a few years, then recall the peak state of the Raptors at this time, and then think about the experience of playing against Xie Chen. As a result, Xie Chen will feel even more terrifying.
Coach Casey wanted to beat Xie Chen once before Xie Chen retired, but Xie Chen refused to let him do so.
However, when the Raptors are at their best, it is not something that the Lakers can easily deal with. You must know that this season, the Raptors defeated the Hawks, who are also a strong team, by 44 points in a game. This also set a new record for the Raptors. Team history.
With only the last minute of the game left, the Raptors and Lakers were still in a stalemate. In these critical minutes, the Raptors had always led the Lakers by two points.
Finally tied, DeRozan once again hit a key mid-range shot, and the Raptors once again led the Lakers by two points.
This crucial two points may determine the victory of this game, so DeRozan looked at Xie Chen with a proud smile, as if to say, look, it depends on two points at the critical moment!
Indeed, if it were DeRozan, he would be confident in shooting two-pointers at critical moments. If he were asked to shoot three-pointers, he might tremble nervously. After all, three-pointers are further away from the basket. Even if he is as strong as Curry, he can shoot three-pointers at critical moments. I feel a little scared in my heart.
However, when it comes to two-pointers, Xie Chen is still the best in the league.
Coach Casey naturally knew this, so he did not intend to let Xie Chen use his key abilities. Coach Casey looked at the situation on the court and secretly said: "Chris Xie has a habit that is not a shortcoming. Even if He is the league's assist leader, but when the game gets closer to a critical moment, especially the final winning goal, he is less able to pass the ball and pass the ball to assist in the winning goal. In my impression, there is only one time, that The second time was when he was still with the Heat. At that time, he was not considered the main force of the team, and his passing was understandable. When he has the ability and status he has now, he is too willing to believe in his incredible ability."
Now that Coach Casey knows that this key goal must be scored by Xie Chen, the defensive strategy is very easy, double-team Xie Chen! Just don’t let Xie Chen score!
"This is what your opponents in the Western Conference playoffs will definitely do to you, Xie." Coach Casey was going to let Xie Chen experience the playoffs the Lakers are about to face in advance.
The Lakers make a key attack. This attack must score. Once it fails, it will become passive and there is an 80% chance of ruining the game.
When Xie Chen held the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by two people!
"The double-team is coming!" Xie Chen didn't panic when he saw his opponent double-teaming him. "I just want to use you to test the special training offense that I have been practicing hard for a season."
What Xie Chen has been practicing this season is how to attack when faced with two or three people. Now, even if he is defending two or three people in front of him, as long as he wants to score, the success rate is still not low.
"I wonder if he will choose to pass the ball?" The audience at the scene saw the Raptors double-teaming Xie Chen and became curious about Xie Chen's next offensive choice.
I saw that Xie Chen was not afraid of double-team defense at all. He still acted as if he was defending alone and forced a breakthrough!
"He wants to do it hard?!"
Xie Chen broke through a defensive player in an instant, but soon, when he came to the right side of the free throw line, he was double-teamed by two people again. Xie Chen failed to break all the way to the basket.
Xie Chen immediately stopped when he saw this. He had practiced defense like this many times, so he was still not nervous and very relaxed. Many people thought that Xie Chen must be panicking at this moment and didn't know what to do. What to do.
I saw Xie Chen turning sideways facing the defensive player. The Raptors players were all on his left. He glanced behind the defensive player, as if he was looking for a suitable teammate to pass the ball.
At this time, Xie Chen made an action that no one could have imagined.
Xie Chen's right hand holding the ball suddenly exerted force, and the basketball hit the floor hard. It looked like Xie Chen was about to pass a ground pass, allowing the basketball to pass through the gap between the two defensive players.
The two defensive players DeRozan and Terrence Ross were also shocked, thinking that Xie Chen's action was a pass. They never expected...
The basketball did go backwards from Xie Chen's body, but as soon as the basketball passed Xie Chen's body, it was hugged back by Xie Chen's left hand!
"What? Not a pass?"
"Dribbling behind the back! Oh my God, how dare he do this!"
When Xie Chen hugged the basketball with his left hand, Xie Chen took a step back with his right leg, which is to the left side of his body, causing the defensive player on Xie Chen's right to subconsciously focus on this position.
Then, Xie Chen turned to the right and shot a fadeaway jumper. The two people jumped up at the same time to block the shot. In fact, only one person was in position to threaten Xie Chen's shot, but Xie Chen used Michael Jordan's fadeaway. He had no chance of blocking the jump shot.
Uh-huh!
Faced with the defense of two people, Xie Chen still forced his shot and hit a fadeaway jumper!
"Faced with a three-man defense, Xie still chose to play by himself and scored!"
"That escape move was so awesome. How dare he do such a behind-the-back dribble when two people were guarding him? At that time, Xie was sideways facing the two people. That is to say, when the ball passed through Xie's back, from behind The distance from the right hand to the left hand is right under the eyes of the two defensive players, and both of them have a chance to intercept the ball!"
In the playoffs, many of the balls that were firmly held were abruptly cut off. Not to mention this kind of risky dribbling that was within reach of the opponent. Xie Chen actually guessed that he would deceive two people this time. , that's why he dared to play like this. After all, throughout this whole season, he has faced the defense of two or three people almost every day. He is no longer surprised or nervous about such double-teaming, and it is inevitable that he will act like a joke.
Coach Casey was shocked: "Facing this level of double-team defense, he can be so calm! And he can dribble like this!"
This was a key goal, tying the score again. Then, the Raptors made a key mistake, and Xie Chen chased him and hit a three-pointer. This was also Xie Chen's tenth three-pointer in the game. The ball was also his 380th this season. This goal sealed the victory for the Lakers.
The Lakers defeated the powerful Raptors and won again! The possibility of them breaking the Warriors' 73-win record has increased again! Because among the next opponents, there is only one that can be called a strong team, the Los Angeles Clippers, but they still have two games to play.
After the game, when Xie Chen shook hands with coach Casey to say goodbye, coach Casey looked at Xie Chen with a solemn expression and said, "You seem to be ready."
Xie Chen smiled and asked: "Are you talking about the playoffs? Of course."
"Can I give you a suggestion?" Coach Casey seemed to have something to say to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen nodded.
Coach Casey said: "When at a certain moment you start to hesitate whether to pass the ball or do it yourself for the next offense, I suggest you pass the ball to your teammates and trust them."
Coach Casey's words are obviously referring to the playoffs. In the playoffs, Xie Chen is destined to be double-teamed. Whether Xie Chen, without his superstar teammate, will continue to choose to pass the ball out will be the key to this year's playoffs. The biggest attraction.
In this game, Xie Chen hit ten three-pointers and also got 20 rebounds. As a point guard, it is not easy to get 20+ rebounds in a row, but this way he can get the rebounds of the season. Is he a king? Xie Chen seemed to underestimate the ambition and ability of the two big men.
When Drummond and Hassan Whiteside saw that Xie Chen was going to steal the rebounding title they were determined to win, they responded one after another.
The next day, in the Heat's game against the Cavaliers, Whiteside grabbed 25 rebounds, tying his career rebound record.
The most terrifying thing is Drummond. In the game between the Pistons and the Suns, Drummond actually grabbed 30 rebounds in this game!
The current league's single-game rebounding data is 30+ again!
Since 1985, a total of 9 players have scored 30+ rebounds 14 times, of which Rodman has done it 5 times. However, since 2000, only two players have done it.
One is Kevin Love in the 10-11 season. He scored 31 points and 31 rebounds in the target center, creating a "double 31 miracle."
The most recent time was Bynum in the 2011-2012 season. He grabbed 30 rebounds against the Spurs, and the Spurs team only got 33.
Now that Bynum has left the NBA, if we talk about the current single-game rebound rankings, Kevin Love is first, and Drummond, who has 30 rebounds now, is second. As for third, It's a player from the Lakers, Mozgov. He once scored 29. Before the record was broken, Drummond's single-game rebound record was also 29.
Drummond not only grabbed a terrifying 30 rebounds in the game, but also led the team to victory. After winning the game, during an interview, the reporter asked him why he was so brutal and got so many rebounds today. The camera smiled and said: "I felt that the guy behind me wanted to compete with me for the rebounding title. I didn't want to be surpassed by him, so I started running as hard as I could. Xie, you can't beat me in rebounding, so give up." "
Not long after, Xie Chen also saw the interview video.
Xie Chen could only smile helplessly. In the NBA league where talents gather, it is not easy to get any honor. There are too many people trying to steal it from you. Even if Xie Chen has the ability of Charles Barkley, rebounding is not an easy task. Compared with tall insiders like Zhuang Shen and Da Baibian in height and position, the disadvantages are too obvious. It is really difficult for Xie Chen to get 30+ rebounds in a single game.
However, the more difficult the challenge, the more motivated Xie Chen is.
In the next game, the Lakers came to Xie Chen's hometown of New York and challenged the Nets away from home. In this game, Xie Chen once again scored 20+ rebounds. At the same time, he once again hit 10 three-pointers in a single game. Lead the team to victory.
Xie Chen's total number of three-pointers this season has also reached 390, which is only 12 away from Stephen Curry's single-season record of 402 three-pointers set last season. You know, next, The Lakers have 10 games left. Even if Xie Chen only makes two three-pointers in one game, breaking the record is a sure thing.
However, people who are familiar with Xie Chen know that Xie Chen is not only pursuing breaking records, he also wants to set new records as much as possible!
The next home game against the Clippers may be a record-breaking night!
