Chapter 808 Refresh the Record!
The three-point showdown between Xie Chen and Curry has always been a favorite among fans around the world. Last season, when Curry was shooting three-pointers like crazy in the regular season, Xie Chen did not compare with Curry in three-point goals. , because Xie Chen could copy the skills of legendary stars last season, and he has been playing with those newly copied abilities, such as Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper.
Because there are too many offensive methods, Xie Chen no longer relies so much on Curry's three-pointers. In addition, after coming to the Knicks to form a double gun with Carmelo Anthony, Xie Chen helped Anthony score more in the regular season. Focusing on assists, he became the assists king and helped Anthony win the season's scoring title.
In addition, Xie Chen staged a gang fight with the Magic last season that shocked the entire league and was suspended for a long time. Xie Chen could not compare with Curry in the number of three-point goals in the regular season last season. This made Curry the leader in scoring 402 goals.
This has always been a regret for many fans, especially Xie Chen’s fans, because they know that Xie Chen’s three-pointers are no worse than Curry’s. It’s true that Curry’s three-point ability has evolved again last season, but Xie Chen’s three-pointers Ability has also evolved. It can be seen from the Knicks and Warriors game last season that Xie Chen can still do what Curry can do.
And this season, Xie Chen no longer has superstar teammates around him. He has unlimited firepower. Everyone knows that he will sprint for 402 three-pointers. However, this time it is Stephen Curry's turn and he can't compete with Xie Chen. , because Curry has Durant around him, he must give up the team's scoring leader position to Durant.
At this moment, Curry looks very calm, which is actually helpless. Among the honors he has achieved, 402 three-pointers is one that he loves and is very proud of.
402 is here, can 403 be far behind?
In fact, Xie Chen has already shot a lot of three-pointers in this game, scoring 12 three-pointers in a single game. Even for players of the level of Xie Chen and Curry, this is the top, but the audience at the scene still let Xie Chen Chen continued to make his 403rd shot. Because Xie Chen had made 13 three-pointers in a single game before, the audience wanted Xie Chen to do it again today.
"403!"
"Broken record!"
The entire audience was excited. The score was now tied, but they didn't pay attention to the score or whether the Lakers won or lost. They only cared about whether Xie Chen would continue to break records.
Tying the record and breaking the record have two different meanings!
Feeling the call and expectation for Xie Chen at the scene, Xie Chen was also a little overwhelmed. He didn't want to be influenced by the fans.
Then something very interesting happened at Staples Center, something that had never happened before in any home arena.
The Clippers' pursuit of points continued unabated, but a passing error gave Xie Chen a chance to steal at the top of the arc. With Xie Chen's speed, needless to say, he was sure to score.
There is no one in the frontcourt. After halftime, Xie Chen can choose the attack method he wants. In the past, Xie Chen would often choose to chase three-pointers during fast breaks, but now it is the critical period of the fourth quarter. , the Lakers are not too far ahead of the Clippers. Although Xie Chen also wants to break Curry's record, he wants to get a two-point score steadily.
"Shoot the three-point shot!"
"403!"
"make a record!"
As soon as they saw Xie Chen complete the steal, the audience became excited and shouted excitedly to Xie Chen, expecting Xie Chen to shoot a three-pointer and directly break the record. In the hearts of all of them, the next ball was the moment to break the record!
However, Xie Chen did not stop at the three-point line, but took a big step into the three-point line and ran towards the basket.
Xie Chen did not perform a free-throw line dunk. Instead, he came to the basket and performed a 360-degree turn dunk. This was also a very exciting dunk action. Several players dared to perform a 360-degree dunk in the fourth quarter at a life-or-death moment. A dunk?
But it was such a wonderful dunk, and the audience gave it not applause, but boos!
The scene was filled with boos!
"What's going on!" Xie Chen was stunned after dunking the ball. He really doubted whether he was playing away from home!
When has it ever happened in the NBA that a star, playing at his home court, completed such a difficult dunk and was booed? This is simply incomprehensible!
Yu Jiadao: "Oh, I was shocked. I thought Xie Chen would shoot a three-pointer with this ball. Xie Chen's 360-degree dunk is still very nice, but when it appears at this time, it is not so flattering. Everyone wants to Seeing Xie Chen break the record, the game is about to end. If this game only ties the record but does not break the record, then the fans who came to watch the game will feel it is a pity because they almost witnessed the record-breaking moment."
Su Qun also said: "Yes, that's why Xie Chen's dunk didn't cause any reaction on the scene. You know how expensive it is to watch Lakers games now. Many fans will have to bleed a lot to buy a ticket for a game. How can there be so many rich people who can buy two games in a row? There are many fans present today. It is estimated that they will not be able to come to the next game and will not be able to witness the record-breaking moment. What a pity. Xie Chen will probably retire soon. But it is a very memorable moment. In the future, I can brag to my classmates and juniors that I witnessed Xie Chen break the 402 record."
Xie Chen only thinks about the problem from the perspective of a player and cannot understand the fans' expectations for Xie Chen to break records at this moment. Moreover, Xie Chen has broken too many records, has too strong personal abilities, and has also cultivated the audience's taste. They became more demanding.
"It seems that if I don't break the record tonight, I won't be able to leave this arena." Xie Chen was helpless. Only then did he understand that after a person becomes a superstar, he often cannot control what he does. It belongs to himself, but to everyone, to his fans around the world.
Just like a work, when the author writes it and publishes it, it no longer belongs to him, but to the readers. Even if there are some words that the author does not mean at all, when most readers think they do, that is.
The Clippers still didn't give up the game. Chris Paul, who didn't seem to want to play the whole game, hit a magical three-plus-one at a critical moment, and finally dragged the game into overtime.
Curry collapsed a little: "There is actually overtime!"
Overtime means that Xie Chen has more time and opportunities to break the record!
Before the overtime started, Ci Shiping said to Xie Chen: "If you want to leave the arena alive, when there is a chance to shoot a three-pointer in overtime, you'd better not score two more points. You know we are in the front row. How much does a ticket cost now? Many people borrow money to watch you play!"
How could Xie Chen not feel the audience's expectations for him to break the record? However, if Ci Shiping hadn't deliberately let the Clippers catch up in the fourth quarter, Xie Chen wouldn't have had the experience of being booed by home fans for the first time in NBA history!
Xie Chen complained to Ci Shiping: "Thanks to you, we still have overtime to play!"
Only then did Ci Shiping think that the team would probably lose the game in overtime, and the direct reason for the loss must be that he let himself go. Ci Shiping stopped talking, pretended not to know anything, and walked aside. Sit quietly.
Soon, overtime began.
Su Qun said: "Everyone can look forward to Xie Chen's 403rd goal. I have a hunch that he will break Curry's record in overtime."
At this time, JJ Redick had been sent off, and Rivers, who was blowing the counterattack horn, was on the court. Although he had a good shooting percentage, he was now the most energetic and confident one in the Clippers, but facing Xie Chen's Defensively, he was obviously careless.
Xie Chen suddenly stepped forward to steal the ball and immediately cut off Rivers' ball.
"Another steal, another fast break! Will you shoot a three-pointer on the fast break this time?" The fans at the scene were looking forward to it again.
Now it is very similar to the previous offense where Xie Chen was booed. There is still no obstacle to Xie Chen's three-pointer.
"I don't know if I will still be booed if I don't shoot a three-pointer this time." Xie Chen also suddenly felt that the home fans were cute, like a group of coquettish children who would make trouble without giving them candy.
When Xie Chen came to the three-point line, his left foot actually stepped into the three-point line again!
"It's not like shooting a three-pointer!" There were already boos at the scene...
However, what is surprising is that Xie Chen's right foot did not follow suit and entered the three-point line, and his whole body stopped.
Then, Xie Chen's left foot also retracted from the three-point line.
Step back three-pointer!
This is something that no one has done before. If there is no defensive player in front, who will make a step-back three-pointer? Xie Chen was obviously joking with the fans and deliberately scaring them.
But the one who was really deceived was Rivers. He rushed over quickly and was thinking about whether Xie Chen would shoot a three-pointer. When Xie Chen's left foot crossed the line, he didn't think much about it and just went for it. I ran forward and was deceived.
Uh-huh!
Stephen Curry made 402 three-point goals in a single regular season and has since become history!
"403 goals! He really did it!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly, using the strength to dub NBA2KOL.
Su Qun was also full of praise: "We have finally waited for this moment. If Xie Chen does not break this record for a day, I believe that many people will not be comfortable for a day. In terms of breaking the record alone, it is not as good as the championship. Xie Chen can be in a league by himself."
The Staples Center was also completely thrown into a carnival. Everyone was so excited, as if they had already won the game in advance, and they would not be so happy even if they won this game.
Stephen Curry, who was watching the ball, also looked relieved. From now on, the record no longer belongs to him, and he no longer has to be in a state of worry.
The Clippers became the background, and every player was very unhappy. They didn't want Xie Chen to continue to refresh. But they never expected that at such an important time in overtime, Xie Chen actually made another super long shot. Three points and scored again!
"The 404th goal! It's so fast. Xie Chen didn't seem to want to break it just now. Once he breaks the record, he can't stop at all!" Yu Jia was amazed. He really didn't expect that the 404th goal would come so fast.
Su Qun also smiled and said: "Looking at this posture, the 405th goal will also appear in this game."
That's right, now Xie Chen really wants to shoot three-pointers. He not only breaks Curry's record, but that's it, he wants to continue to expand the number of goals scored!
The Clippers were completely unable to play a wonderful offense in this atmosphere, and they were once again led by the Lakers in overtime.
Seeing this situation, Xie Chen wanted to continue shooting three-pointers wantonly.
Facing Little Rivers' defense, Xie Chen made a pull-up jumper directly from outside the three-point line!
"I won't let you score another three-pointer!" Little Rivers was not willing to let Xie Chen keep setting records in front of him.
Xie Chen has Tracy McGrady's pull-up three-point ability. He also made a pull-up jump shot when facing Rivers Jr.. Rivers stretched out his palm to block the shot. Everyone believes that Xie Chen is capable of facing Rivers Jr. Si Ganba hit a three-pointer.
However, Xie Chen did not do this.
For his 405th three-pointer, he still had to use Curry's three-point ability.
After Xie Chen jumped up, he didn't take a shot for a long time. This made Rivers feel very strange. Xie Chen's shots were always the fastest in the league, even if he didn't shoot as fast as usual when pulling up three-pointers. He wouldn't be this slow, he's not Hayes!
Many people are worried that Xie Chen will be punished if he doesn't take action!
That's right, Xie Chen just wants to be capped!
Before Rivers Jr. blocked Xie Chen, Xie Chen took the initiative to hit the ball into Rivers Jr.'s palm!
"What?" Little Rivers didn't expect that when someone was shooting, he took the initiative to send the ball to the defender's hands.
Little Rivers had no time to control the ball and let it bounce out of his palms.
Next, what Xie Chen really wanted to do was to drop down early, then took a step to the right and picked up the basketball again. At this moment, Rivers had already flown to Xie Chen's left side and could not catch up immediately. Come back and block the shot.
Xie Chen took the opportunity to use Curry's three-point ability and quickly shoot three-pointers!
Uh-huh!
The 405th ball was born!
"Oh my God, this three-pointer actually went in like this!"
"I've never seen such a three-pointer!"
Su Qun exclaimed: "Xie Chen is really the most versatile player in NBA history so far. His versatility is not only that he can shoot, jump, defend and score. When he wants to do something, He can always find a way to achieve it, whether it is pursuing rebounding data, blocking data, or current three-point shooting data, no one can stop him."
Yu Jia also said with the same mood: "The purpose of actively giving the opponent a block is to get rid of the defense and better shoot the three-pointer. No one else does this. No wonder Xie Chen's fans are so harsh on him. Because they know that no matter how much they ask for, their idol can do it.”
Xie Chen hit three consecutive three-pointers in overtime, completely giving the Clippers no hope. After Xie Chen made the shot, he stretched out his arms and looked domineeringly at the audience, as if asking them, this is What do you want to see?
The entire audience responded to Xie Chen with the most enthusiastic cheers, yes! This is what we want to see!
