Super all-around point guard

Chapter 437: Moment of Xie Chen!

It has been 20 years since the Miller moment, but until today, it is still often mentioned by many fans. It scored 8.9 points in 8 seconds. The only one that can compare with it is McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points.

The reason why Xie Chen guessed in advance that he would meet the Pacers and Reggie Miller on this day was because when he was playing against the Rockets, he met McGrady on the day when the gods descended to earth. Then, Xie Chen prevented the moment of McGrady from happening in the Legendary Challenge.

Today, he will be a bad guy again and stop the miracle from happening.

However, this kind of thing does not mean that he can stop it if he wants to. The miracle performed at the critical moment comes from the premise that the score is close to being in suspense. If the Knicks lead the legendary Pacers by a large score in the fourth quarter, or the legendary Pacers lead Xie Chen by a large score, there will be no "Miller moment".

Reggie Miller is a legendary opponent that Xie Chen is looking forward to very much. His critical moment ability and three-point ability make Xie Chen want to compare with him, especially the three-point shooting ability. Many people are asking whether Reggie Miller's three-pointer is better or Curry and Xie Chen's three-pointer. They belong to different generations and have no chance to compete. Today, Xie Chen has this opportunity.

The Indiana Pacers in the 90s were the "Reggie Miller Team", just like the Spurs were nicknamed "George Gervin Team" in the early 80s, and the 70ers were nicknamed "Dr.

The Reggie Miller met by Xie Chen was 30 years old and looked very good. He had been squinting at Xie Chen before the game. After the game started, Reggie Miller scored two three-pointers by running without the ball. Xie Chen didn’t respond.

Xie Chen personally defended Reggie Miller, who was 5 cm taller than him. Although Reggie Miller occasionally scored, Miller still felt very uncomfortable with Xie Chen's defense.

Reggie Miller spat trash talk at Xie Chen: "Boy, you can't guard me. I don't need to jump at all if I shoot in front of you."

Xie Chen responded: "Have you danced before? Then you are really old, and your jump is so short. I really don't like bullying the elderly."

"What? You called me an old man?" Reggie Miller was very angry. He had actually seen Xie Chen's defensive attitude towards him from the very beginning. It seemed that he was really humble, which made Reggie Miller very unbearable.

Then, although Miller didn't see the strength of Xie Chen's three-pointer, he saw Xie Chen's speed and Jordan-like fadeaway jumper when he broke through, as well as a Carter-like violent dunk that he had never seen before.

"This guy's talent is really incredible, this game is difficult to play!" Reggie Miller became melancholy.

After knowing how powerful Xie Chen is, Miller became more serious. He knew that he had to stand up and respond to Xie Chen.

Reggie Miller began to run crazy without the ball, and Xie Chen was also happy to keep chasing Reggie Miller's footsteps. He also appreciated Miller's tireless search for opportunities.

Reggie Miller's legs were deformed when he was a child, and he didn't learn to walk until he was 11 years old. Like Forrest Gump, he had corrective braces on his legs when he was a child. The congenital deficiency caused him to start basketball late.

Moreover, Miller is very thin and weaker than most defenders in terms of strength. He can't take advantage of jumping and confrontation. Moreover, his body is destined to prevent him from dribbling and is too easy to be intercepted. His dribbling is also very average.

Since the talent is so ordinary, how can Reggie Miller be selected by the Pacers?Versh, the president of the Pacers at the time, said three points: a tall guard, a high shot point, and never give up.

People have self-knowledge. Miller is such a person. He knows that he does not have Iverson's dribbling ability, Jordan's dunk and layup ability, and his ability to break through. Therefore, his style of play is simpler.

So, you should be able to understand why Reggie Miller said something like "This ball is for you guys", right?

Reggie Miller pushed away Xie Chen's arms, used the reaction force to retreat to the bottom corner, and then succeeded in another jump shot. After this shot, Reggie Miller went crazy. He began to spout trash talk at Xie Chen who was defending him even more arrogantly.So what if you dunk and hang fast?I'm not defeated yet!
Miller has always had this mentality.

Seeing that the whole audience was excited about it, and seeing that Reggie Miller seemed to have changed, Xie Chen felt that it was time for Reggie Miller to know who was the real three-pointer.

"Using the rebound force of pushing me to accelerate back to the bottom corner to shoot a three-pointer, Reggie Miller, you are really good." Xie Chen smiled, and did not respond to Reggie Miller with words. He wanted a three-pointer to respond!

Slowly hold the ball across the half court, and then, one step away from the three-point line, Xie Chen shot directly. Xie Chen will not be as serious as others when shooting three-pointers. He can shoot anywhere. He has no choice but to be so willful.

With a bang, the three-pointer hit the iron.

"Uh." Xie Chen didn't expect to miss the first ball, which caused a lot of ridicule from the audience, asking if that No. 0 was stupid to make a shot so hastily?Reggie Miller also laughed, Xie Chen didn't care, Curry's three-pointer is not [-]%, it's not uncommon to miss a shot.

Then, in the next attack, Curry was no longer so capricious. He didn’t play any ultra-long three-pointers, so he just shot from the three-point line. Using dribbling and speed, Xie Chen got rid of his opponent and gained room for shooting. He shot a three-pointer in an instant. Reggie Miller exclaimed that the shot was so fast, and then saw the basketball go straight to the basket!

The basketball brushed the basket twice, and it came out again!
"Damn, didn't enter again!" Xie Chen was a little depressed.It can only be said that it was bad luck, the ball was almost going in, and Xie Chen still maintained a very good patience.

After another 2 minutes, Xie Chen got the chance to shoot a three-pointer from the corner!Open three-pointer, or the bottom corner!what does that mean?90.00% will enter, right?Be humble and say [-]%. In short, it is unreasonable not to score this goal.

Xie Chen happily threw the ball, and then saw the basketball quickly go to the other side.

Missed again!How could it be so unlucky? !Xie Chen felt that 20 shots like this would not necessarily miss one of them. How could he be so unlucky today, hitting the iron one after another?
Or is it that the Knicks are leading now, and the system is afraid that the Knicks are leading too much and will not be able to meet the conditions of Miller's moment in the end, so Xie Chen's shooting rate is deliberately lowered?

This sounds a bit absurd, but whether it is or not, Xie Chen is a little upset anyway. Reggie Miller ran over to talk trash to Xie Chen just now. After hearing Miller's ridicule before, Xie Chen felt that it didn't matter. It was because he thought he would respond with actions soon. Now, the response is a response, but the voice of ridicule is even stronger.

"No one is guarding you and you can't make shots. How did you get into the NBA? Hahaha." Reggie Miller laughed heartily.

Xie Chen was a little displeased: "I won't really deliberately maintain the score so that Reggie Miller will have a chance to stage the Miller moment to kill us in the end, right? Well, whether it's true or not, you can stop me from making shots, but you can't prevent me from not making shots! I won't let Reggie Miller stage the Miller moment. I don't even bother to stop it! Today, this time, I will be the loser, and I want to stage my own moment!"

Xie Chen changed his mind. He originally wanted to stop Miller's moment like he stopped McGrady's moment last time, but now, he wants to deliberately lag behind the score and be the one who performed a miracle at the last moment!
"Since this day is destined to be a miracle, why can't it be me?" Xie Chen secretly said.

Xie Chen began to intentionally make the Knicks the chasing team. However, things did not happen as Xie Chen expected. Once the Pacers saw the hope of winning, they grabbed hold of it and quickly expanded the score.

"I have seen the sunshine of victory, I will never lose to you, you don't want to overtake the score!" Reggie Miller looked at Xie Chen's face and said these words seriously. Xie Chen felt the tenacity of Reggie Miller and his teammates, which reminded him of Reggie Miller's entire career.

Indiana's guys who have become veterans made it to the Eastern Conference Finals five times in seven years. In the last year, the oldest year, they made it to the Finals. Reggie Miller scored 58 three-pointers in the playoffs that year.

Xie Chen began to ask himself, is there such tenacity and determination to never give up as Reggie Miller?The reason why the Miller moment can exist is because he never gave up the game, even if there is a slight chance, he will fight for it.

"I want to beat them!" Xie Chen clenched his fists again, and now he has completely different hearts from when he said before the game that he wanted to beat them.

Now that the team is 15 points behind, Xie Chen needs to keep attacking and scoring, and needs to defend every next ball of the Pacers, so that he can have a chance to stage his own moment.

Scoring is easy, but defense is not so simple. He is not very familiar with these opponents, and it took him a long time to know how to stop their offense.

Finally, under Xie Chen's sudden crazy performance and two consecutive steals and dunks, with 18.7 seconds left before the end, the Knicks caught up to only 6 points behind.

This is a desperate time, but also an exciting time.

Desperately, it is almost impossible to recover 18 points in 6 seconds, but what excites Xie Chen is that he knows that this is possible.

The miracle will eventually be staged, just like this day in history, but the teams on both sides have lost all, and the one behind is no longer the Pacers with Miller, but the Knicks with Xie Chen.

Xie Chen wants to be the one who performs miracles.

Xie Chen clearly remembers the position of every ball in Miller's moment, so he will copy Miller's moment next. Now the legendary Pacers are not worried about the opponent's overtake, because Xie Chen did not prove how good his three-pointer was before.

The time began to beat, the Knicks sent the ball in bounds, and Miller shot the first ball at a 45-degree angle on the left wing. Xie Chen also appeared in this position. Like Miller back then, Xie Chen got rid of the defender and shot immediately after receiving the ball. The beginning of a miracle is always the most important.

Miller stared blankly at the basketball shot towards the basket with a high arc, thinking in his heart that he must not make it. However, this time the three-pointer hit the net accurately!
"Damn!" Reggie Miller yelled, but he was still not worried, because now they still lead by three points, and there are 16 seconds left in the game, and the victory is still in their hands.

The atmosphere at the scene became particularly tense. Even the coach of the legendary Pacers, Larry Brown, looked serious, not to mention the players on the field.

"The next goal is the most important goal of Miller's moment!" Xie Chen did not relax after scoring, because he knew that the most difficult goal of Miller's moment was coming!
After scoring the first three-pointer, I have to break the opponent's serve, and then, let alone the second, it is already very difficult to break the opponent's serve. Now thinking about it, I am a bit too confident!
The five players of the legendary Pacers were in a panic. They wanted to send the ball quickly. Xie Chen shouted at his teammates: "Stop them! Get in front of them!"

Never let the legendary Pacers serve successfully!
Reggie Miller suddenly rushed forward to catch the ball, Xie Chen chased after him closely, the two were entangled, the player who was serving saw that the two were entangled tightly and was afraid of being intercepted, so he hesitated and dared not pass the ball out for a while.

Then, I heard the legendary Pacers coach Larry Brown yelling from the sidelines: "Pass the ball!"

There was no time left. The legendary Pacers had to pass the ball. Reggie Miller was so anxious that he couldn't care less about anything else. He slammed a dark elbow at Xie Chen, hit him in the stomach, and tried to use this method to get rid of Xie Chen and went to catch the ball.

This reminded Xie Chen!
When it comes to shady little tricks, Xie Chen is no worse than Reggie Miller, first let you taste the power of Karl Malone!

Xie Chen quickly responded with Karl Malone's fighting ability. The thin Reggie Miller just made a move to ask for the ball, but was instantly knocked to the ground by Xie Chen!
The referee didn't blow his whistle!

The Pacers have already delivered the ball, and Xie Chen, like Reggie Miller in "Miller Moment", received the pass from the opponent.

Next, is the most important ball. If the Miller moment is more classic than the McGrady moment, it is the next ball.
