Chapter 20

The first minute, the home fans were still negative for a while, but now, with Xie Chen's two consecutive three-pointers, chasing the score to only 1 points, the mood of the home fans also rose.

McHale yelled loudly on the sidelines, extremely angry. His final requirement for this quarter was to lead by more than eight points, and Coach Spoelstra hoped that by the end of the third quarter, the score gap would be within five points. Now there is still a period of time before the end of the third quarter. It is still unknown whose ending is closer to the expectation.

The Rockets played well today. Whether it was their personal competitive status or tactical cooperation, they played smoothly. It didn't look like they were playing on the road. They were thrown two three-pointers in a row by their opponents, and they didn't let them mess up.

The bearded Harden dribbles slowly. At this time, Xie Chen has been replaced to defend him, thus saving Wade’s energy. Harden is just past the midfield line, and Xie Chen clings to him, making it difficult for him to move. This is also the oppressive rush defense that the Heat always adopt. Interdict the pass, or prompt the opponent to violate the 24-second rule, or prompt the opponent to make a mistake, or make a hasty shot.

However, this defensive system is built on the basis of defensive players who are physically active in defense. When James was there, James, Wade, Bosh, and Battier were all very good defensive players.

Xie Chen has not yet learned any defensive skills, and the physical talent of the yellow race alone cannot create a real sense of oppression on Harden.

The Heat suddenly double-teamed Harden. Harden was sticky with the ball, but finally passed the ball. Finally, the ball reached Howard. Howard took a quick step and went to the basket, causing a foul by center Hamilton.

Howard is too strong, and it is too easy to beat Hamilton. Fortunately, the free throws are not stable, and the two hit one, giving the Heat the opportunity to continue chasing points.

Xie Chen didn't attack on his own, and handed the ball to Wade. Wade's defense against Ariza was also a little weak. Xie Chen could feel that his condition in the second half was not very good, and his hand was touched just now. At this time, the shot should not be accurate.

Xie Chen took the initiative to run to get the ball back again. Facing Beverly's defense again, it was time for him to impress the audience.

"You have no chance, kid!" Beverly had a gloomy face. He had just been played by Xie Chen once, and was scolded by his coach and teammates one after another. Now he hated Xie Chen to the bone. At this time, let alone Xie Chen mentioning Lowry, even Jordan Bowen, Beverly would turn a deaf ear to it!
Beverly stuck to Xie Chen very tightly, obviously because he was concerned about Xie Chen's three-pointer. Xie Chen already had 90.00% of Lowry's breakthrough ability. This time, it was even more effortless. He rushed over with an acceleration. Beverly was a little slow, but he was still actively defending. His hands were ready to stop Xie Chen, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to rush over. Beverly grabbed the air with both hands!

Beverly was stunned, thinking that this move could stop Xie Chen, even if it was a bit of a foul, but he didn't expect Xie Chen's strength and speed to ignore Beverly's defense like a dead sheep.

"So fast! Beverly was completely left behind, he cared too much about Xie Chen's three-pointer!"

After Xie Chen broke through the defense, James Harden, who had been staring at him all the time, did not give Xie Chen an open mid-range shot, but quickly stepped forward to make up the defense. Facing Harden's make-up defense, Xie Chen paused on the spot, and then, a change to the left directly passed Harden!
"Oh! He passed Harden again! He passed two defensive players in a row!"

The fans at the scene were excited, and some spectators even stood up excitedly!
Harden, a player who only looks at the ball and not people when defending, is relatively easy to deal with with Lowry's ability. In addition, the opponent has no experience and experience in defending himself. Even, Xie Chen feels that Harden will never expect that he will continue to break through, because there is a person in the penalty area that Xie Chen will never dare to face.

Dwight Howard!

Howard sits on the inside and has been on the battlefield for a long time. What kind of talented players have you never seen?Although he also had the painful experience of being dunked by Kobe, Howard was still a rookie at that time, and now, no one dares to act presumptuously in his territory!

However, for some reason, when Howard faced Xie Chen, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and trembled.

At this second, as if time had stopped, Wade opened his mouth wide and looked at Xie Chen who was gradually approaching the basket. Spoelstra put his hands on his hips, but both hands obviously had no strength.

Courage is something that every outside player must have when he goes inside.

Jordan had it back then, Kobe had it, Tracy McGrady had it, Iverson had it, Wade had it, and although Xie Chen hasn't copied the layup skills yet, he also has the courage!
Xie Chen didn't pause at all. After passing Harden, he went straight into the penalty area. When he rushed to Howard, he hugged the ball with both hands, ready to layup!

"I won't let you succeed!" Howard gritted his teeth. Seeing Xie Chen's body move to the right, he thought that Xie Chen would directly lay up with his right hand, and his entire center of gravity followed. He never expected that when Xie Chen took the second step, his hands suddenly pulled to the left!
"Oh my God! This is... this is Wade's signature move!"

Howard was shocked, he never expected that Xie Chen would dare to use Wade's Lost Step in front of him!
Howard had already lost his position, because at this time Xie Chen had already circled to Howard's left side to prepare for a left-handed layup. Howard felt unwilling, and slapped him with two big hands. Howard hit Xie Chen's arm with a very clear cracking sound.

The referee blew his whistle, and Xie Chen also fell to the ground. The basketball slowly fell over the hoop, padding and padding on the edge of the hoop.

"Damn!" Howard cursed.

"Lucky Ball! 2+1! Xie Chen hit a [-]+[-], and he still faced Howard, the No. [-] center!"

"Although there was a lot of luck involved in this shot, even if it missed, it still caused Howard's foul. With Xie Chen's free throw percentage, scoring two points is a sure thing. Xie Chen had two defensive players in a row before, and Wade's stalking layup was used. It seems that this shot is going to be in today's top ten."

Yang Yi and Yang Jian couldn't help being amazed, and the American Airlines Arena was full of cheers. Wade rushed over to help Xie Chen up. After helping him up, he excitedly "thumped" Xie Chen hard, overjoyed: "Boy, you really dare to use the lost step!"

Because Xie Chen didn’t practice this move very well, and even if it’s a maze, it requires a lot of physical fitness, not to mention facing a defensive champion like Howard, so Wade never thought that Xie Chen would dare to make a layup, let alone use the maze that he taught him. At this moment, Wade was very proud. You must know that Wade is the king of shot blocks under 6 feet 4 inches, and the player who blocked the most by him was Howard. He enjoyed the speed of defeating Howard. Feeling, although I am getting old now, facing Howard is getting more and more disadvantaged, but I didn't expect my teammates to teach him a lesson in their own way!
"Strike!" Bosh and Luol Deng also stepped forward to give Xie Chen a high-five to celebrate.

Xie Chen stood at the free throw line, and when everyone was amazed and praised Xie Chen, Yang Yi, who had always been looking forward to Xie Chen, said at this time: "It can be seen that Xie Chen's strength, jumping, and layup feeling are still very average. This ball can be said to be scored by Xie Chen or Howard. Because Howard slapped Xie Chen's arm, forcing Xie Chen to throw the ball into the air unconsciously, and then dangled on the basket. This kind of ball is not replicable. But his breakthrough is getting better and better, the three-pointer is getting better and better, and the overall situation is getting better and better, which is already something for the Heat to be happy about."

Xie Chen was thoughtful in that layup just now, but his ability couldn't keep up, because Lowry's ability disappeared at the moment of the layup, and he hadn't obtained anyone's layup ability, so he could only use his own, but Xie Chen's level of confrontation and layup ability in the air was very average.

This is also Xie Chen's next major task. After learning breakthrough skills, what will he learn?Of course it is to learn the layup ability, the two are as inseparable as fish and water.

Xie Chen rubbed his arms and glared at Howard with some complaints. Howard looked roguely at the sky above the arena and turned a deaf ear to it. The photographer captured this interesting scene. After Xie Chen easily hit a free throw, the previous posts mocking Xie Chen in the NBA bar in mainland China were slapped in the face one by one. Think too much!
