Super all-around point guard

Chapter 436 Stop the Miller moment!

It took a long time for Upton to convince himself to go on a date with an unknown rookie. Finally, he showed mercy and gave dicks a chance, but this ignorant Latvian dick didn't know what to do, and turned her down on his own initiative!
Kate Upton felt very hurt in her heart, Xie Chen broke his heart, and Porzingis made her stomach ache with anger. She only hated that she was insatiable in her desires. It would be nice to date Adu honestly, and he would not always carry his small schoolbag. It would be better than the deserted and embarrassing situation now.

Porzingis was still excited until he returned to the locker room, 50 points, this is an achievement he never imagined!He is just a rookie, how many can score 50 points in his rookie season?It seems that even LeBron James Michael Jordan didn't do it?Thinking of this, Porzingis couldn't help being excited, and kept telling everyone that he would have a treat tonight, so he had to have a good time no matter what.

However, although Xie Chen is the person Porzingis should be most grateful to, Xie Chen did not go with them, but went home first. The media had already reported the matter between Xie Chen and Upton. Today, Upton was so intimate with Xie Chen during the live broadcast. He was very worried that Katie would be jealous.

When I got home, Katie sat on the sofa watching TV without saying a word. Xie Chen called her and didn't respond. Needless to say, she must be angry.

Sitting closer, I found that Katie looked very calm, turned to look at Xie Chen and asked, "Porzingis scored 50 points, shouldn't you celebrate with him?"

Xie Chen immediately said sweetly: "How can this be more important than you?"

Katie smiled happily: "I'm neither jealous nor angry, because I believe that men who have experienced Scarlett and me will not fall in love with a woman casually, unless Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are alive."

It sounds like Katie is very disdainful of Upton, but it is true in terms of body and appearance, mainly because of temperament. Upton is much worse than Scarlett and Katie.

……

After the Thunder, the next opponent the Knicks will face is the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are a team that is also not easy to deal with, and they are still playing away games. The legendary Pacers will no longer be as easy as the legendary Hornets, so this game is a very big test for Xie Chen. However, many netizens do not believe that the Knicks who won the Thunder Clippers will have a chance to lose to the Pacers.

The Pacers are now firmly in the top four in the East, and their record is much better than the Knicks. Last season, the Pacers struggled to make it to the playoffs, and then they were swept by Xie Chen's Heat 4:0. People are still not so optimistic about the Pacers this season, but they didn't expect the Pacers to play really well. The most important thing is, Paul George, the king is back!

"Long time no see, George." Xie Chen and Paul George greeted the Pacers at the Bankers Life Arena.

"Long time no see, but it feels like you just swept them out yesterday." Paul George said seriously. It seems that he hasn't forgotten Xie Chen's sweep of them in the playoffs last season, and that defeat has also greatly motivated George to perform better this season.

This season, Paul George has averaged 28+8+6 per game, and has performed 40+ in many single games. He even broke his career scoring record in a single game against the Jazz!

This is something that too many people did not expect. Paul George's tenacity and patience are amazing.

Recalling the scene of George's injury is still lingering, but fortunately, his injury is far less harmful than Rose's torn cruciate ligament and Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture, because the tibia and fibula fracture will not leave sequelae. Once healed, the possibility of recurrence is almost zero, and this part may be stronger than before.

It seems that George's injury has recovered patiently, but just like the Heat who lost to Xie Chen last season, is his shadow still there?Has he recovered mentally?This is also an important factor enough to affect George's future prospects.

Seeing Paul George's serious face, Xie Chen smiled and said, "The All-Star Game is coming soon, be happy, don't hold grudges too much, and be careful that I don't pass you the ball in the All-Star Game."

"Uh." George also felt a little sorry, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what do you think about the performance of Curry and the Warriors this season? I know that you want to compete for this season's MVP just like me, but Bobby Curry is too fierce this season, and their Warriors are too fierce. Speaking of which, it's all your fault. Last season, they defeated the Warriors who managed to reach the Finals, and beat Curry in so many ways. Their performance this season is completely revenge!"

Xie Chen was also a little melancholy: "Curry's performance is indeed great. Coupled with their team's record, there is no doubt that he will be voted MVP, but I know that I am also on this list. Some of my achievements and efforts are not visible to everyone."

Xie Chen said and left, leaving George at a loss. What achievements did Xie Chen have that everyone can't see?

Of course, Xie Chen's performance in the Legend Challenge was much more crazy than his performance in the 2015 NBA. If all these games are counted, Curry's personal performance cannot be compared with Xie Chen's. Moreover, if there are no obstacles from those legendary teams, the Knicks' record will also be very good.

The performance of the Pacers at the beginning of this season is very different from the performance later. At the beginning, the Pacers had a three-game losing streak, and Paul George did not show signs of returning to the king. Everyone felt that the Pacers should be like this, because the Pacers also changed their style of play.

No way, the impact of the Warriors with the best record in the league last season was too great. The small ball style of play is more likely to have more offensive rounds. Larry Bird saw the bright future brought by the small ball style of play. Then after the end of last season, he announced that the team's policy will change.

He hopes that the Pacers can play an enthusiastic offense on the basis of iron and blood defense.The iron-blooded defense allowed them to have a place in the Eastern Conference for three consecutive years. At that time, their tactical philosophy was rough half-court defense, a well-organized offensive rhythm, and an offensive policy dominated by inside backs. Then they obtained the following data.

Offense, in the 12-13 season, averaged 94.7 per game, 23rd in the league, in the 13-14 season, 24th, in the 14-15 season, 27th.

Defense, in the 12-13 season, averaged 90.7 points per game, the second-lowest in the league, in the 13-14 season, the second-lowest in the league, and in the 2-14 season, the fourth-lowest in the league.

Therefore, you should understand why Larry Bird is determined to change the team's offense. The Pacers' defense is fine, but their offense has become a stumbling block to success. If they retain their defensive strength, speed up their offense, play more offensive and defensive transitions, and strive for more outside opportunities, will they achieve unexpected results?
Then, they got really good results.

Although the Pacers are not the biggest opponent of the Knicks, they are also a stumbling block preventing the Knicks from entering the playoffs. Maybe Xie Chen and the Pacers are destined to meet the Pacers for two consecutive seasons.

As soon as the game started, Paul George scored one after another, all using pick-and-rolls. George has always had a pretty good sense of movement and ability to use pick-and-rolls.

Just now, Paul George called for a pick-and-roll from the flank, and then used the pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line and shoot directly. I have to say that Paul George's training is still very hard, otherwise the shooting will not be so accurate.

George used the pick-and-roll to score, Xie Chen also used the pick-and-roll to score, and Xie Chen shot a three-pointer.Even when shooting three-pointers, the shooting percentage is not inferior to George's two-pointers.

George knew that he had encountered a very strong opponent, and he couldn't deal with it by himself. Besides, Xie Chen had Anthony by his side, and a rookie who had just scored 50 points in the last game. He had to rely on the team's strength and defense to have a chance.

The Pacers' defense is indeed very good. Porzingis, who scored a career high in the last game, has a sharp drop in his shooting touch. Sometimes he didn't even have a chance to shoot, and he made two turnovers under strong pressure.

Porzingis also immediately woke up from his previous pride: "It turns out that I am not very good. If I want to win and make the playoffs, it still depends on the two of them."

Of course, it is impossible for the Pacers to limit Xie Chen, but another leader of the team, Carmelo Anthony, seems to have a stronger desire to attack than Xie Chen.

Seeing Paul George getting better and better and scoring non-stop, Anthony's face was very ugly. He wanted to ask him now, where can he rank among the small forwards in the league?Are James, Durant, and even Paul George in front of him better than himself?He's the league's leading scorer!
Paul George already disdains Carmelo Anthony. He believes that Xie Chen is the biggest threat. As for the scoring champion, George also believes that it does not reflect Anthony's true strength.

Anthony's shots hit the iron repeatedly, which made him more irritable. He finally made a foul and got two free throws. Xie Chen sighed when he saw it.

"Anthony belongs to the declining period, while Paul George belongs to the rising period. If Anthony is obsessed with this, it will be meaningless. But it is a good thing to see him have such energy."

Xie Chen began to intend to fulfill the duel between Paul George and Anthony, but Paul George played really well in this game. Not only can he score goals when he has the ball, but he can also score easily without the ball.

In an attack by the Pacers, Paul George had no ball on the left wing and used a screen to sneak into the back door and go straight to the basket. Williams, who was defending George, was blocked by the screened player and did not follow up immediately. The ball quickly passed to the basket, and George made a small hook easily.

In contrast, Anthony now steals the back door through cover less.

Then, the Pacers upgraded their cover tactics and played double cover.

Paul George was in the right bottom corner and suddenly ran to the left. Williams followed up and hit the first screen player with a bang. Then, George was still running towards the free throw line. Williams followed up again. Then there was another bang and hit the second screen player. George easily took the ball and made a mid-range shot.

And Anthony's individual singles, or the simple cooperation between Xie Chen and Anthony, obviously cannot make Anthony's shooting rate comparable to Paul George.Similarly, in the score, the Pacers have always been ahead.

Xie Chen wanted to take over the game right away, but his assists were in double figures soon, and he had to deal with another opponent first, the legendary Pacers.

Regarding the upcoming legendary Pacers team, Xie Chen made a bold prediction yesterday. He very much hoped to meet a team with Reggie Miller. When T.NT and Reggie Miller hosted the show together, Xie Chen felt Reggie Miller's unyielding energy. He really wanted to compete with this three-pointer.

Even Xie Chen predicted which year Reggie Miller would be.

May 1995, 5, because this day is the day when fans around the world know the "Miller moment".

After the scene changed, Xie Chen really saw the familiar slender figure, Reggie Miller...

Xie Chen went to the sidelines to ask about the time, and it turned out to be May 5th, which was the time of the playoffs. That year, in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers and the Knicks were fighting vigorously.

He first made a three-pointer, then stole the ball from the Knicks in the frontcourt, and scored from a long shot. At this time, the Pacers rewritten the score to a 105-105 tie in surprise, and then the Pacers fouled, and the Knicks missed two free throws.

This is one of the most classic Miller moments.

But it wasn't the only Miller moment.The earliest Miller moment was in Game 1994 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and New York in 12. The Pacers trailed by 25 points and entered the fourth quarter.

In addition, in the 1998 Eastern Conference finals, Miller pushed Jordan away at the last moment, and then with only 0.7 seconds left, he took off and hit a three-pointer, leading the team to turn defeat into victory.

Miller's ability to turn defeat into victory at the most critical moment of the game has made many people admire. Xie Chen will experience the demeanor of this senior today.

However, Xie Chen does not want history to repeat itself.

"On this day, the Pacers were against the Knicks, but you can beat the Knicks in 1995, but you can't beat the Knicks in 2015. Wait and see, Reggie Miller, I will prevent the Miller moment from happening!"
