Super all-around point guard

Chapter 517 The Semifinals Begin!
If Xie Chen hadn't left the Heat, if Pat Riley had more trust and freedom in Xie Chen, if Chris Bosh was willing to assist Xie Chen, maybe this season would not be like this at all, at least the Heat are still the strongest contender for the league championship.

Xie Chen enjoyed this practice game and played with this group of familiar and unfamiliar guys. Xie Chen seemed to return to the time when he first arrived in the Heat a year ago. It was a very rare experience from being unfamiliar with each other to having a deep friendship. You must know that before joining the Heat, Wade can be said to be Xie Chen’s idol. Even when Xie Chen first became a member of the Heat, LeBron James hadn’t left.

While these people were laughing and playing the game, a person walked into the training hall, team president Pat Riley.

"Why is there a practice game all of a sudden? Oh? Chris Xie is here too?" Riley walked forward slowly, and was obviously surprised when he saw Xie Chen's appearance. Now Riley seems to be much older than he was a year ago. He always wants to control everything under his control. Last season, after James left, Xie Chen's sudden appearance brought the team a championship by accident, but after winning the championship, Riley became even more melancholy.

Riley has always believed that Xie Chen's body can't support his style of play. He thinks that Xie Chen will get injured sooner or later if he plays this way, and he may be injured for several consecutive seasons like Ross.

Xie Chen hadn't noticed Riley yet. Riley glanced at the brother basketball between Xie Chen, Wade Hassan, and said to Fisher: "Let them stop. Xie is our opponent in the next round. If something happens to him here, I don't know how to explain to Phil."

"Okay." Fisher clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Let's take a rest."

Hearing Fisher's voice, Xie Chen looked to the sidelines. He saw Pat Riley. Now he and Riley have an awkward relationship, just like when James left the Heat, but Riley took the initiative to invite Xie Chen to the locker room to chat.

The two walked to the locker room. Xie Chen still remembered where he was at the very corner, but the name on it had been changed to Winslow.

"Remember that was where you used to be?" Pat Riley smiled slightly.

Xie Chen nodded: "Of course, I remember everything here, especially the carnival in the locker room after winning the championship. Only after winning the championship did I know how exciting it is to win the championship. It has been a whole year, and now I think of the crazy scene at that time, and I still feel emotional."

Pat Riley nodded and said: "Well, that's why each of our teams spares no effort to pursue the championship. I don't think it's your goal to just complete the black eight miracle. You still want to win the championship this year, right? I have to admit that if you insist on winning, our Heat can't stop you, but the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, your current lineup really can't resist."

Xie Chen smiled softly. He knew that Riley meant that the Knicks team did not have a decent championship equipment. The main lineup was indeed good, but the second lineup was too shabby, and if one of Xie Chen and Anthony got into trouble, the team would instantly become a second-rate weak team.

But the Warriors and Spurs are not like this. Even if Curry and Leonard are not there, they are still very strong.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "Do you still remember what you called me to the arena and said to me when we were three games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs last year? Why, once I became an opponent, you stopped encouraging me?"

Pat Riley laughed himself after hearing this: "Haha, I really shouldn't say that kind of discouragement to you, sorry."

The two chatted for a while, and when Riley was about to get up to leave, Xie Chen suddenly asked, "Do you regret letting me go?"

Riley sighed, his face was gloomy, and he answered after a long time: "Many people say that the fortune teller is out of order, that I miscalculated you, and that this season you have become scarier than last season, and you have no health problems that I worry about at all, but if I had to choose again, I would still do it, sorry, thank you, I don't understand you, and I don't fight uncertain battles. If I'm not wrong, that old fellow Phil Jackson can't understand you either, but he is willing to put all bets on you, That's the difference between me and him."

Pat Riley was ready to leave after speaking.

"That's why he has more championship rings than you! That's why you are destined to lose to him as a coach, and you will also lose to him as a manager!" Xie Chen suddenly became hysterical. Who said he didn't care about Riley's distrust?Xie Chen has held back this sentence for almost a year.

If it wasn't for coming to the Heat training facility today, if it wasn't for playing games with Wade Hassan as a teammate, making Xie Chen feel that he is still a player of the Heat, perhaps, Xie Chen would never have said these words to Pat Riley.

Pat Riley left without looking back.

One minute later, Wade walked in, stepped forward and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Forget it, it's over, don't think about it anymore. In fact, Riley is the one the Heat hates you the most to leave. He often said that you are the player he most wants to coach, but you two are too similar to a certain extent."

Xie Chen stayed in the Heat's locker room for a while, and then left. Miami is also his home, and he also bought a luxury house here. Although the conditions are good, he still misses the humble house he rented back then.

Turn on the TV at night, T. These old guys in NT are talking about the matchup between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat.

The host said: "Tomorrow will start a new round of the series. The teams that are not eligible to compete for the championship are slowly being eliminated. The strongest teams are slowly showing their strength. The New York Knicks, the bottom team in the league last season, have become the strongest dark horse in this season with the addition of Xie. They will kill the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference in the first round. I believe the Raptors are still unable to accept the fact that they left so early. The Miami Heat are also unlucky, because they will encounter these crazy guys next. What is it?"

Charles Barkley looked very serious: "I remember last season after Xie won the championship with the Miami Heat, people began to talk about whether Xie could become the No.1 in history. At that time, we all felt that it was too early, but judging from the performance of this year's playoffs, Xie may really want to hit the throne occupied by Michael Jordan. He swept the Raptors 4-0 without any effort. In addition to his control over the game, he averaged less than 20 points per game this season. In fact, in the playoffs last year, he was no longer able to play like before. If he wants to rely on Wade to win this series, he needs Wade to play well in at least five consecutive games. Without Wade, who can the Heat rely on to win the Knicks? Hassan who has no leadership at all? Chris Bosh, who is in an unstable state?

"I agree with Charles." O'Neal followed up and said: "The New York Knicks will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and meet the Cavaliers. The Heat are no better than the Raptors. If the Knicks can easily sweep the Raptors, they will definitely win the Heat. It's just that there will be no more sweeps. I predict they will lose 1 or 2 games at most."

……

Seeing these seniors bragging about themselves, Xie Chen shook his head helplessly. This time, whether it was the media or the fans, everyone had the same opinion. They all believed that the Knicks would win this series. Unfortunately, they couldn't know Xie Chen's difficulties.

The first game between the Heat and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals was held at the American Airlines Arena as scheduled.

Just like last year's playoffs, the audience was covered in a sea of ​​white, and there were no seats left, and everyone was dressed in uniform.

When Xie Chen walked into the arena, the fans applauded and booed, but most of them stared blankly at Xie Chen and remained silent.

At this time last year, Xie Chen appeared in the American Airlines Arena and received cheers from the audience. Everyone regarded Xie Chen as a hero. Heat fans still love him, but Xie Chen has become their enemy.

"You shouldn't boo him, boy, we wouldn't have won the championship last year without him." A white youth said to a young man next to him who booed Xie Chen.

Xie Chen tried his best not to be disturbed by these external things, and warmed up alone. Frankly speaking, he was a little nervous today.

He looked up at the jerseys hanging above the arena. There were no LeBron James and Wade Bosh. If it was the above guys, Xie Chen was confident...

When he came back to his senses, Xie Chen realized that he was about to jump the ball.

"So fast!" Xie Chen was slightly startled.

Seeing Xie Chen's dazed expression, Anthony patted Xie Chen's shoulder and asked, "Are you all right?"

Xie Chen shook his head and walked to his place.

"Okay, the first game between the Heat and the Knicks has finally started, everyone can start to predict how many points Xie Chen will score tonight!" Su Qun also looked excited in the Tencent live broadcast room.

"100 points!" the beauty host Mina shouted while dancing.

Ke Fan smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, Miami is also Xie Chen's old club. Xie Chen won't be so ruthless. I think forty or fifty is enough, and if overtime is not counted, forty to fifty points in four quarters is enough to win the Heat."

On the first ball, the Knicks went in and out, and in the end it was Xie Chen who made a three-pointer.

"Strike!" Ke Fan shouted excitedly when Xie Chen scored the first three-pointer.

Su Qun was also excited: "Xie Chen is coming, everyone is optimistic. The first three-pointer is so accurate. It seems that his condition is still as good as the last round. I think that although Coach Spoel has coached Xie Chen for a season, he probably doesn't know how to guard Xie Chen himself, haha."

The Cavaliers in Cleveland were also paying attention to the game. Thompson saw that the Heat made a three-pointer against Xie Chen for the first time. He couldn't help asking James, "Will this guy Xie Chen score another 60 points tonight?"

LeBron James chuckled: "Why not? Isn't this how he always wins? He doesn't need to trust his teammates at all. As long as the opponent doesn't guard him to death, he has a chance to hit the shot. The Heat, like the Raptors, have nothing to do about it. Wait and see, this will be another individual performance."

"It's a pity that the Heat's guys are very close to Xie. They won't do anything aggressive to stop Xie. I thought he would get hurt before he met us..." JR Smith, who grew a beard and looked vicissitudes, also said.

At the American Airlines arena, the atmosphere was very tense. Everyone was very nervous, because Xie Chen was so powerful. Xie Chen was once the hero of this city. Everyone was in awe of Xie Chen, but in fact, Xie Chen was also nervous.

"3 points, 27 points away." After Xie Chen scored the first goal, he was busy keeping his score in mind. He had to know how close he was to challenging the legendary Heat.

The Heat are not to be outdone, Wade enjoys the opportunity to compete with Xie Chen, although he also knows that he can no longer be one-on-one with Xie Chen, and even the peak himself may not be able to beat Xie Chen, but Wade still slowly relies on experience to score two points at the basket as a response.

After scoring the goal, Wade smiled at Xie Chen. It is rare to see such expressions between opponents in the playoffs.

Wade is also relieved, and has experienced everything that should have been experienced in the NBA. Otherwise, even if he had a good relationship with Xie Chen when he was young, he would not be like this.

Xie Chen wants to control his own score, but sometimes the more you want to control something, the more things will happen, it seems that God is deliberately against you.

Hassan received the pass from Wade, but was cut off from behind by Lopez, and then quickly threw the ball to Xie Chen. Xie Chen wanted to score a goal and assist a goal, but he had no choice but to rush to the basket and pour the ball hard on Dragic's head.

"Strike!" Ke Fan yelled again in the Tencent live broadcast room, "5 points, this scoring efficiency is no one else, Mr. Su, how about we make a bet, bet on how many quarters Xie Chen will get 30 points, I guess two quarters."

Su Qun thought for a while and replied: "Then I'll be more conservative. I'll guess three quarters, because Coach Spoel knows clearly that this is Xie Chen's team and will definitely stop him. He won't let Xie Chen score 30 points at halftime."

"I guess one quarter! Xie Chen can get 30 points in one quarter!" the beauty host also said.

Ke Fan laughed and said, "Okay, those who lose, please eat, Mr. Su is ready to pay. Xie Chen's state today, either one or two, can't go wrong."

Ke Fan's guess seemed to be correct, because the next moment, Xie Chen suddenly broke Dragic's ball!
　Today's ball is really amazing. I didn't expect that the first ability copied by our protagonist is the most BT ability in the world... Will new readers think "Fuck, Curry Ritian's ability can be seen as a P"
