Super all-around point guard

Chapter 490 Butler, your shoelaces are untied again!
Blatter has too many things to say to the media and fans. Ordinary people will never know the truth of the matter, so he can only vent to Xie Chen.

In this way, Xie Chen felt much more comfortable, at least he didn't feel any guilt towards him.

In the past few days, it has been constantly talking about James' change of coach for the Cavaliers. James also seems to be in a bad mood because of being accused of being in a bad mood. In the second game coached by Tyronn Lue, the Cavaliers lost another game.

Coincidentally, the Raptors maintained a complete victory in these two games. The difference between the two teams is not much. If this continues, the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference will change hands in April. Unfortunately, the Raptors are still unaware of it.

The Knicks will go to Chicago to challenge the Bulls in the next game. After challenging the Bulls in Chicago, the two teams will return to the Knicks' home court for another game. These two consecutive games against the Bulls, Xie Chen wants to win them all!
Winning the Bulls is of great significance. The Bulls are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference. If the current ranking is used, they will play the Pacers in the first round. Xie Chen doesn’t think the Pacers can beat the Chicago Bulls in seven games. Xie Chen hopes that the Bulls’ record will drop to fourth, and then they will play against the Miami Heat in the first round.

In addition to trying his best to give the Bulls a two-game losing streak, Xie Chen also has a very important task in Chicago, which is to copy Michael Jordan's layup skills!
In the current offensive method, the dunk ability is at the SS level, the fadeaway jump shot is at the SS level, and the three-point long-range shooting is at the SS level. Xie Chen is only one SS's layup ability, and the offense is almost perfect!And Michael Jordan's layup ability must be able to reach the SS level. Of course, it also depends on which year Jordan he met. If he met Jordan who was in the Bulls in the last year, Xie Chen would choose to give up.

Before coming to Chicago, Xie Chen had been praying that he must meet Jordan during the first three consecutive championships. Jordan's layup ability will play a very important role in the playoffs.

Coming to the United Center Arena again, the atmosphere here is already a bit like the playoffs. The New York Knicks who came to challenge today are likely to become a stumbling block for the Bulls to advance to the finals, and these two teams will have two games in a row. Therefore, many Bulls fans hold a hostile attitude towards the Knicks. I believe boos will be indispensable later.

However, the relationship between Xie Chen and Rose is not bad. The first time Xie Chen took the initiative to challenge Rose to the Bulls training hall, and then every time they met, they had to fight each other. It was just that when they met, Rose was the well-deserved boss of the Bulls. Now the team has changed leaders.

"Long time no see, buddy." Rose and Xie Chen exchanged greetings before the game, and Jimmy Butler stood behind him without saying hello to Xie Chen. The conflict between the two All-Stars has continued to this day, and I believe it will be even more intense in the playoffs.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "You look good."

Rose said with a smile: "Of course, the coach of our biggest opponent in the East is changing at this time. This is definitely good news for us. Who knows what Tyronn Lue will bring the Cavaliers to. If we face the Cavaliers, maybe we will have a better chance of winning. However, I still don't understand what happened inside them, do you know?"

The Bulls will never meet the Knicks in the first round, so their attention to the Knicks has also decreased. They will not see Xie Chen's recent games. However, Xie Chen also needs to tell Rose: "I don't know, but Blatt has never been supported. It will be a matter of time before he is fired. You seem to have confidence in the Cavaliers. That's great. You can solve them. Then we will deal with you and enter the finals."

Rose laughed and said, "I'd be happy to take out the Cavaliers for you, but judging by the current rankings, if all three of our teams advance in the first round, the Cavaliers will meet you in the semifinals instead of us. It seems that I have no chance with LeBron."

Xie Chen sighed and shook his head. It would be great if the knight could really meet the bull. Xie Chen is afraid of the bull, not the knight, and the knight will definitely eliminate the bull. Then everything will be easy...

Before the game, Xie Chen encouraged the whole team to win this game. There is not much time left in the regular season, and they must strive for victory in every game.

Xie Chen played a leading role, broke one of Rose as soon as he came up, and then quickly attacked the basket and dunked.

Rose was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xie Chen to play so seriously as soon as he came up. Rose said to Xie Chen, "It's rare for you to be excited today."

Xie Chen replied helplessly: "No way, time is running out. We must win every game. You also know that we are now ranked eighth. We don't want to face the Cavaliers in the first round."

Rose has no reason to be unconvinced by this reason. The whole team knows that the Knicks will make every effort to avoid the Cavaliers, so they are ready for this before the game starts.

A well-clothed person will not fight a beggar for a steamed bun. Everyone in the Knicks knows the importance of winning, so the offensive is very fierce. The only Bull who does not want to lose at any cost is Jimmy Butler.

Butler has a strong hostility towards Xie Chen. During the All-Star Game, the two had a bad relationship. Jimmy Butler wanted the AMVP very much, but Xie Chen didn't give him that. This made Butler always hold a grudge. He knew that the Knicks wanted to win every game now, because the Knicks hadn't secured their position in the playoffs.

Under Jimmy Butler's tough resistance, the Chicago Bulls clung to the score all the way, which made the Knicks feel a lot of pressure, because each of them has played their best.

"Jimmy Butler has to stop it." Xie Chen pinched his waist and looked at the hot Jimmy Butler. In the first quarter, Butler scored 15 points.

Just when Xie Chen wanted to mark Jimmy Butler himself, Fisher replaced Ci Shiping to mark Butler.

Fisher said to Ci Shiping: "Xie really wants to win this game today, you go up and help him, Jimmy Butler can no longer score so easily."

The signing of Ci Shiping is because of his iron-blooded defense, but after all, he is no longer at the peak, especially the speed is difficult to keep up with Jimmy Butler or other No. 3 positions, so when using Ci Shiping, it is not really necessary to defend Ci Shiping, but to use another way to make the opponent uncomfortable.

Bulls coach Hoiberg was a little flustered when he saw that Fisher asked Ci Shiping to defend Jimmy Butler: "What does he mean by sending this guy, don't hurt my trump card."

Metta Shiping went there just to disgust Jimmy Butler. As soon as he came on stage, he clung to Jimmy Butler and provoked: "Boy, you are very arrogant today. Unfortunately, from now on, your solo performance time is over. I have a hundred ways to prevent you. Look, your shoelaces are untied."

Jimmy Butler looked down, and was so angry that he pushed Ci Shiping directly: "Get out of here!"

The referee blew his whistle. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ci Shiping came up, he didn't foul himself, but Jimmy Butler got a foul first.

Xie Chen watched from the side and smiled. With a defender like Ci Shiping, I believe that Jimmy Butler's next time will not be easy. This is Xie Chen's opportunity to expand the score.

Xie Chen quickly shot a three-pointer. Jimmy Butler was impatient and was about to pay back a three-pointer. Ci Shiping noticed it in advance and pushed Butler in the stomach. Jimmy Butler was brought down by Ci Shiping before he could shoot.

Afterwards, Ci Shiping stretched out his hand very consciously.

But Jimmy Butler was relentless and wanted to argue with Ci Shiping very much. Gasol hugged him from behind, and Rose stood aside without speaking.

Xie Chen walked up to Ross and said, "The new boss of Wind City, he doesn't have good self-control, so how can he get angry so easily?"

Rose chuckled, but said nothing.

In fact, as far as the three-pointer is concerned, both Rose and Jimmy Butler are weak. Rose’s three-pointer has never been very good. Of course, from time to time he will hit a three-pointer at the last moment with a magic touch, but his shooting percentage is only 24%. Therefore, in this small ball era, Jimmy Butler’s three-pointer is particularly important for the Bulls. Just like last season, Wade’s three-pointer can be bad, but there must be a good three-pointer. .

However, Jimmy Butler's three-point shooting rate is only 32%. Once the outside shot is not accurate, the opponent will safely shrink the inside line when defending the backcourt partner, and it will be easier to choose defensive methods when facing their pick-and-roll.

In addition, the problem with Jimmy Butler and Rose is that they are used to attacking the area. They both like to attack on the left side, and they have the highest shooting percentage together. The average assists per game of the two are even the same.

Coupled with the delicate relationship between Rose and Jimmy Butler, Xie Chen can also see that the relationship is not good, even worse than the Thunder's second junior. Therefore, next season's Chicago Bulls will definitely undergo major changes. Jimmy Butler may really leave the Windy City and choose the Los Angeles Lakers.

Under Ci Shiping's disgusting defense, Jimmy Butler's shooting rate was really terrible. He only scored 7 points in the second quarter, and most of them were scored at the free throw line.

"This bastard is finally over." Jimmy Butler finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ci Shiping leave the field with six fouls. In the past more than a quarter, he had put all his energy into fighting against Ci Shiping, just to get Ci Shiping away. Now his arms and legs hurt everywhere from fighting with Ci Shiping!
"Huh..." Jimmy Butler panted heavily, unexpectedly, another person appeared in front of him, Xie Chen.

"It's my turn now." Xie Chen said to Jimmy Butler with a smile.

Coach Hoiberg really wanted to scold the Knicks for being shameless after seeing it. What does it mean to let Ci Shiping and Xie Chen take turns torturing Jimmy Butler!Hoiberg also didn't understand why Jimmy Butler insisted on winning the ball in an ordinary regular season. The Knicks obviously didn't want to let it go. If that's the case, let them do it. Anyway, our state is not good, and we need to pay too much to win it.

Jimmy Butler was so exhausted that he finally caught his breath. Unexpectedly, Ci Shiping left and Xie Chen came up again!Xie Chen wanted to defend against Jimmy Butler one-on-one with him!
Of course, Jimmy Butler couldn't appear weak in front of Xie Chen. He straightened up immediately, showing even his only height advantage over Xie Chen: "Hehe, I've already killed that lunatic. Very good, here's another one, let you know how powerful I am! No matter who you are, you can't guard against me! Tonight I want to score 50 points!"

"Don't rush to brag." Xie Chen said with a smile, and then pointed down: "Look, your shoelaces are untied again."

Jimmy Butler was taken aback for a moment, what's going on!JR Smith also only unties his shoelaces when others make free throws. When did you two do it!
"You...you are such a shameless person, you don't deserve any MVP trophy!" Jimmy Butler yelled angrily, and bent down obediently to fasten his shoelaces.

Next, Xie Chen defended Jimmy Butler one-on-one. On the first ball, Jimmy Butler wanted to bully Xie Chen with his height and strength, and forced him to hit Xie Chen. Unfortunately, Xie Chen snatched the ball out of bounds from behind him. Xie Chen's steal was no joke.

Jimmy Butler changed his style of play, instead of relying entirely on his body, he leaned against Xie Chen, then used his speed to get rid of Xie Chen, and then chose to stop and shoot a jumper.

How could Jimmy Butler's speed get rid of Xie Chen?He really took it for granted. Xie Chen is the top three players in blocks per game this season, and he is the most powerful defender. As soon as Butler took the ball, Xie Chen blocked it. Butler immediately picked up the blocked ball and shot back again.Capped again!
Xie Chen covered Jimmy Butler twice!

This time, Xie Chen didn't give Jimmy Butler another chance to grab the ball. He grabbed the ball and ran forward. Jimmy Butler was blocked twice.
Xie Chen deliberately had physical contact with Jimmy Butler, and then scored the ball after luring Butler to reach out.

2+1!

It was Jimmy Butler's fourth foul.

"Damn it, I've fouled four times, and the coach is going to replace me. Before leaving the field, I have to untie Xie's shoelaces once to vent my anger!" Jimmy Butler thought.

Then, he really did.

Unfortunately, the referee gave him the fifth foul in an instant.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
