Super all-around point guard

Chapter 443 McGrady's Ability Reappears in the Alliance!

It seems that the Warriors really cared about Xie Chen's opponent, and they used such an unexpected "RIP PLAY" at the beginning of the game. Under normal circumstances, Curry rushed outside the three-point line to get a shooting opportunity, so the defenders would focus on Curry. They would never have thought that the lazy Barnes would suddenly go inside.

Barnes' running route overlaps with Xie Chen's defense against Curry. At this fork, Xie Chen will face a choice, whether to continue to follow Curry or to chase Barnes. If you look at it in slow motion, it is obvious to stop Barnes from going to the basket. However, at the moment of fast follow-up defense, if you hesitate for half a second, you will miss the opportunity to block Barnes.

Xie Chen was still very decisive, because he had faintly felt that this time's tactics might not be that simple.

Xie Chen intercepted the Warriors' tactic, which surprised the Warriors' interim coach Wharton, and also surprised the audience, because as far as the fans are concerned, at the same time, so many people are running, and the ball is far away in the left area. Many people are confused. They don't know how the ball passed to Barnes.
"It's amazing! I can see the tactics of the Warriors!" These people who have been mocking Xie Chen dare not speak anymore. Curry has never had such a defensive performance. Besides, Xie Chen is a copycat, and they all feel blush.

As soon as he came up, Xie Chen took a chance. Even Curry felt that the best defensive player of the season might fall on Xie Chen.

The best defensive player, Xie Chen has a chance to win, Curry is definitely out of the game, but Curry can compete with Xie Chen for another most important award, the regular season MVP!

Last season, Curry was supposed to win the MVP, but was snatched away by Xie Chen. This season, of course, Curry wanted to win the MVP back. So far this season, Curry has been beating Xie Chen in the official MVP rankings, but the temporary lead does not make Curry feel at ease. Last season, he led for a whole season.
One of Curry's major advantages in competing for MVP is that the Warriors have a good record and are still the best in the league, and he is the best player on the best team. According to the conditions for awarding MVP in the past, shouldn't it be given to Curry?
But since last year, people have discovered that this award does not seem to be so simple.The Warriors' record is very good, but it is not only supported by Curry alone, but more by the team and the system, but the Knicks are different. Winning depends on the core Xie Chen.

Xie Chen and Curry's average points per game are similar, and Curry is temporarily leading, but there is a gap between Curry and Xie Chen in assists. The most terrifying point is that Xie Chen made his teammates better, but Curry did not. In other words, he was much worse than Xie Chen.

And this is the biggest disadvantage of Curry and Xie Chen competing for MVP!
Xie Chen turned Anthony into the league's scoring leader, and turned Porzingis, a rookie that everyone was not optimistic about, into the current top rookie candidate!With these two points alone, Xie Chen will be more competitive when competing for the MVP!
"This is a battle for MVP. I haven't won him yet. I have to win him once. Moreover, I want to prove to others that I can also make my teammates better!" Stephen Curry had already decided before the game. The thinking of playing tonight, giving up the one-on-one duel with Xie Chen, and helping his teammates more, so it is not surprising that the first ball in Curry's screen attracts the defense and gives Barnes a chance to shoot.

Compared with Curry, who regarded this game as an MVP battle, Xie Chen was much more relaxed. After blocking the block, he used Barkley's rebounding ability to grab a rebound, and then quickly rushed to the frontcourt. The Warriors retreated very quickly and did not give Xie Chen a quick scoring layup.

Porzingis!
As soon as Porzingis reached the three-point line, Xie Chen passed the ball to him. Porzingis didn't go inside, but jumped up and shot. It's still hard for you to guard against a [-]-meter-tall shot. Porzingis has a good touch and hits directly.

5:0!Xie Chen likes this opening.

Then, Curry assisted Klay Thompson, and Thompson missed. If the Knicks scored again, the score would be 7:0 or 8:0. Xie Chen is also determined to score such a goal against the opponent. He likes to score this kind of score.

"If we can beat the Warriors 10-0 at the beginning, then the Warriors will be led by our noses throughout the first half." Xie Chen realized the importance of the next goal and decided to play it himself.

Xie Chen began to try to break through with a step-back jumper, but he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Xie Chen suddenly changed to a forced breakthrough, which caught the Warriors by surprise. Xie Chen used Rose to fold for a layup and added two more points!
7:0!The Knicks are off to a really good start.

Since Xie Chen's folding layup was made under Green's defense, Chasing Dream Green was very upset and kept yelling on the spot. Seeing that Green was so excited, Xie Chen couldn't help but stepped forward and prodded: "The last time we played such a perfect start was when we beat the Jazz 38:0. I heard that some time ago, you played two overtimes to win with difficulty. The level is about the same."

"Damn, who do you think we are similar to?" Green immediately became furious when Xie Chen compared the Warriors to a team like the Jazz.

Warriors boss Curry stepped forward and patted Green to comfort him: "Don't care."

Curry is cool, and he is getting cooler and cooler. Originally, he didn't have such a cool side, but he has since he was hit by Xie Chen many times.

The next time, the Warriors' tactics were not created for others, but for Curry. When Xie Chen was chasing Curry, he was blocked by another Warriors screener, and he was a step slower. When Curry received the ball, Xie Chen had lost the initiative and could only jump quickly.

But Curry was smarter and more patient. He obviously had the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer directly, but he gave up. Instead, he made a sudden lateral move to the right, luring Xie Chen over, and then shot a two-pointer. Xie Chen had no way to defend.

2+1!Curry responded with a two plus one, and the Oracle Arena, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to boil...

"Curry, great job! Beat him!"

"You are the MVP!"

"Revenge for Bacon!"

The fans shouted excitedly one by one, Xie Chen was startled, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I was playing away from the most terrifying devil, and it took me a few minutes to feel it."

This kind of atmosphere is the home of the Warriors that Xie Chen is familiar with. I remember the first time I came here, Xie Chen had just become famous, and those fans kept calling Xie Chen a copycat, and then Xie Chen shot three-pointers again and again, more accurate than Curry's shots, and they were speechless.

In order to shut up those people, Xie Chen has also decided to use McGrady's three-point shooting ability more or even only in this game. The All-Star Game is coming soon, and it is time to let everyone know about Xie Chen's other ability.

Curry made a solid free throw and finally failed to make the Knicks score 10:0. It really deserves to be the team with the best record in the league.

2+1, still on Xie Chen's body, this is something Xie Chen can't bear, because 2+1, he is the master.

Looking back, Xie Chen decided to let Curry experience the results of his special training during the suspension.A shot after a foul.

It's not easy to foul Curry, because Curry doesn't like jumping too much, even if he jumps, he doesn't jump with all his strength, and there is always room for it. So in order to make Curry more willing to jump with all his strength, according to Zhang Weiping's guidance, Xie Chen decided to play him.

Xie Chen dribbled the ball with his left hand across the half court, which is not uncommon. The strange thing is that Xie Chen faced Curry and dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand. The scene immediately exclaimed. It was a very gorgeous move. Xie Chen rarely played this unnecessary fancy dribble.

Then, after Xie Chen dribbled with his left hand behind his back, the ball reached his right hand, and he rushed forward with the ball. Curry followed, Xie Chen immediately stopped suddenly, and dribbled the ball under his crotch.

Curry also understood now that Xie Chen wanted to have fun with Curry this time, and even, Xie Chen might want to try to shake Curry down now!
"Wow." Chen Yihan screamed immediately. Girls are always attracted by such gorgeous movements, not to mention that the two people in the duel are both stars that Chen Yihan admires.

Gradually, people suddenly discovered a problem, that is, Xie Chen's movements are similar to Curry's usual ones. Xie Chen can imitate both Curry and Irving's movements well, and Curry's movements are still very recognizable. That kind of pace, that kind of rhythm, it looks like Curry, not Irving or others.

"I know, he wants to imitate the way I usually score goals!" Curry also instantly understood Xie Chen's intentions while defending.

According to Curry's understanding, Xie Chen's next step will be to break through and then hit the board and throw. If it were Curry, he would do this, so he thinks Xie Chen will do the same.

However, Xie Chen thought a little more than Curry.

Xie Chen just wanted to make Curry think that he was imitating him. According to his characteristics, the next step is to break through the throw, and when he is about to throw, it is the best time for Xie Chen to foul Curry!
Sure enough, Xie Chen broke through Curry, and he mastered the rhythm very well. Curry followed Xie Chen closely. Of course, Xie Chen couldn't really imitate it successfully. Curry followed Xie Chen's rhythm. He was quite familiar with this offensive rhythm, because it was his own rhythm. He already knew which step to shoot, so he jumped without hesitation.

However, Xie Chen didn't jump.

"What?" Curry was shocked after taking off, but Xie Chen didn't make a move!He shouldn't stop at this time, Curry knows too well, but it makes no sense to stop at this time, it is easy to walk.Curry also immediately understood that Xie Chen was just trying to trick Curry into fouling!
Xie Chen easily deceived Curry's foul, and then, with his shooting posture deformed, he made this goal.

Xie Chen returned Curry a 2+1!

The fans at the scene couldn't help sighing that Xie Chen was too good. Curry just hit Xie Chen 2+1, and Xie Chen immediately returned it, and the point difference returned to 7 points.

Next, the Knicks kept leading by less than [-] points until the end of the first quarter. The shooting percentages of the two teams in the first quarter were very high, and not only Curry and Xie Chen scored, but basically everyone on the field scored. The contest between the two teams was pleasing to watch.

However, Curry and Xie Chen didn't shoot their best three-pointers in the first quarter. Curry made 2 of 1 three-pointers in the first quarter, and Xie Chen didn't make a single shot at all. This disappointed fans who like to watch their three-pointers.

But in the second quarter, Curry's touch suddenly picked up, and there was a very good opportunity. He hit two consecutive three-pointers to tie the score directly. The scene also boiled, and countless Warriors fans were also excited.

"From now on, the Knicks will never have a chance to lead the Warriors again!"

"Didn't Xie Chen boast that he could beat Curry with a three-pointer in the All-Star Game? Why don't you even dare to shoot now?"

These two three-pointers made by Curry were all made by Xie Chen's defense. For Xie Chen, he must feel uncomfortable.

"It's time to expose McGrady's three-point ability..." Xie Chen secretly said, he can't wait until the All-Star Game to let Curry know his ability. After all, there are too many stars in the All-Star Game, it is impossible for the two to compete happily. Today's game, Xie Chen let the whole league know in advance that he is not only good at Curry-style three-pointers!
Xie Chen held the ball with both hands outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing, and made a tentative step with his right foot. Curry was still very afraid of Xie Chen's breakthrough. He would never have thought that Xie Chen wanted to shoot a three-pointer at this time, and Xie Chen really did.

Just swaying before Curry's eyes, Xie Chen directly stood up and shot a three-pointer!
"What?" Everyone in the audience was shocked. After catching the ball on the spot, they shot directly?This is not in line with his usual habit of shooting three-pointers!

Swish!It was also a simple hit, but it was completely different from Xie Chen's shooting posture in the past. Xie Chen shot at the highest point, and the arc was not that high.

Curry also found it unbelievable. Xie Chen once said that he would beat Curry in another way in the All-Star Game. Isn't he bragging, what he said is true?Could he really have another shot?
"Is it a coincidence?" Curry was startled. He never liked to see Xie Chen use the same shooting posture as him, but when he found that Xie Chen could hit the basket with other shooting postures, he felt even more uncomfortable. It felt better to see him imitating himself.

Now, the vast majority of fans think that it should be a coincidence, just like Curry's guess. However, Xie Chen soon hit another McGrady-style three-pointer, leaving everyone speechless.

McGrady has retired for more than two years, whether it is long or short, but starting today, he will appear in the league again!
