Super all-around point guard

Chapter 526 Return of the King!
The maverick Xie Chen continued to subvert the three views of the entire league. He dozed off during the game. Kobe did like this, but he never did such a blatant statement that he wanted to sleep for a while. The Heat and other opponents also felt helpless.

In fact, sleep has always been a big problem for NBA players. If you ask NBA players what their biggest wish is besides the championship, then [-]% of them will tell you that they want to sleep.In this money-filled league, sleeping has become a "luxury" for the rich.

After halftime, the Knicks ended the first half with a two-point lead. The battle continued, and everyone focused on the second half.

During the intermission, many people guessed that Xie Chen might take a good rest in the locker room.

The halftime interval of the NBA is 15 minutes, which is not a short break. Fortunately, the NBA is a profit-making organization and needs to give more time to broadcast advertisements on TV.

In the locker room, Xie Chen sat on a chair and leaned against his wardrobe, closed his eyes and rested. Because the visiting team’s locker room is very small, Xie Chen didn’t want to occupy much space. He could just sit and sleep like this.

The locker room of the visiting team was exceptionally clean. After a while, Heat President Pat Riley walked in, greeted Fisher, and then stepped forward to pat Xie Chen's leg. Xie Chen woke up and saw Riley and said to him: "Shall I prepare a room for you to sleep for a while?"

Xie Chen shook his head and said, "No need, this will do."

Pat Riley is an iron-blooded coach, but he also cares about the players' bodies. NBA players do need more sleep, but what can be done?The current league is like this. If it was the 60s and 70s, the players might be a little more relaxed and not as tired as they are now. Maybe they should hate the basketball emperor Chamberlain, because the shooting training that is popular in the league started because of Chamberlain.

During the halftime break, O'Neal and Smith, who were in the live broadcast room, also discussed this issue.

O'Neill said: "LeBron James and Xie are the stars I like very much after leaving the league. They both have their own ideas and are not influenced by others. I like this. It's very cool. You can't be too disciplined if you are a superstar. To be honest, I tried to sleep countless times when I was playing, but they didn't work.

Kenny Smith also laughed: "That's right, but sleep is really a big test for modern NBA players, and as the league becomes more commercialized and globalized, with more time for interviews and training, these guys will have shorter rest time. I can understand Xie's behavior."

Both of them have played in the NBA and have been professional players, so they are deeply impressed by Xie Chen's experience. O'Neal continued: "Take today's game as an example. The end of the game must be at least ten o'clock in the evening. In addition, they have to bathe, change clothes, accept interviews, and participate in the press conference after the game. After doing these, these guys must be starving. Then they have to eat some supper. If you are a nightclub prince, it goes without saying. It means the Miami Heat players at home, because they may not be back in the hotel bed until three o'clock in the morning, and the team will have practice the next morning, and they only have about five hours of sleep a day."

"And they miss out on the best sleep time between [-]pm and [-]am," adds Kenny Smith.

O'Neill said: "That's right, poor sleep will significantly slow down the ability of people's reaction time. It may be as little as 0.1 second, and people will miss a defense. Do you know why I am not the historical shot-blocking leader? It's because I don't always have enough rest. Otherwise, every time those guys layup in front of me, I can slam them to the ground!"

Smith laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, anything can hinder your greatness."

The league is a business, and what is certain is that the league will not shorten the 82-game regular season, because more games mean more revenue from advertisements, TV rights, and tickets. Therefore, the problem of sleep can only be solved by the players themselves.

The halftime break was over soon. After the 15-minute break, Xie Chen was refreshed and he was ready to play at any time.

The game entered the second half, and James also came back to watch the game. Seeing that Xie Chen finally stopped sitting on the bench with his eyes closed, he couldn't help laughing: "Xie finally stopped sleeping. In fact, I also asked Adam Silver for the issue of rest. I hope he can extend the time of the All-Star Weekend. Unfortunately, my suggestion is useless."

Owen smiled and said: "Maybe you should go to him with Xie, maybe he will try to think about it."

After the game restarted, the Knicks' two-point lead was instantly wiped out by Gerald Green's breakthrough layup. After that, as Winslow continued to attack the Knicks' basket, relying on this group of substitutes, the Heat became the leading side.

Some people said that Xie Chen used the crazy first quarter to finally take the lead. It didn't work at all, and he was exhausted to death. In fact, Xie Chen was already very satisfied, and fortunately he had a lead of more than 10 points at that time. Otherwise, the score would not be so close now.

The coach first sent Anthony to the court and asked Xie Chen to rest for a while. Anthony performed well, scoring 4 points in a row as soon as he played, but the Knicks still couldn't stop the Heat's scoring momentum, and the point difference did not close.

Seeing that the team was 8 points behind and Xie Chen had enough rest, Fisher patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."

Xie Chen nodded and re-entered the stage!
"Thank you for playing again!"

Every time Xie Chen reappears in the American Airlines Arena, fans will pay close attention to it, whether as a Heat player or as a player of other teams, because Xie Chen's playing means a change in the game, and he is a person with this ability.

Many netizens saw Xie Chen's reappearance, and they also posted at this time: "Xie Chen is so arrogant that he sleeps on the field, let's see how good he can play!"

The Heat's main players have all returned to their positions. Joe Johnson, Wade, and Luol Deng have all put themselves into the best condition again. They must guard against Xie Chen!
Luol Deng suddenly made a pass error, and Anthony threw the ball into the air. The two of them were the closest to the basketball, but it was Xie Chen, who was two meters behind them, who grabbed the ball in the end.

The two were just about to take off and compete for a fight, but Xie Chen swished like a gust of wind, and flew directly between the two to pick the ball away. The speed and lightness of the movement were astonishing.

After Xie Chen stole the ball, he went straight to the frontcourt. Xie Chen walked from the left, Derek Williams marched on the right, and there was only one Heat defensive player in the middle. There was almost no suspense for this fast break.

Xie Chen didn't speed up to the basket again, but threw the ball to Williams without looking at the pass to the right, and Williams dunked the ball directly after receiving the ball!

"Such a fast steal, such a coquettish pass! It's like Magic Johnson possessed!"

It can be seen from this attack that Xie Chen is full of energy again, he is no longer trapped by physical strength, and he has performed better on the court, so no one will criticize your previous actions.

Actions are always the best way to respond to others.

"Xie and Derek Williams are advancing so fast. They are already the most threatening fast-break duo for the New York Knicks." Pat Riley thought carefully. Although Anthony and Xie Chen are the aces, Anthony's pace in the fast-break is already a little slow, not as good as Derek Williams, a post-90s generation.

Pat Riley is also aware of the Knicks' potential threat.The Heat can't prevent Xie Chen's fast break, but can they stop Derek Williams?There seems to be no way.

"It's only six points away. Will Xie catch up with two three-pointers?" Heat fans gradually became uneasy, because when Xie Chen was in the Heat in the past, the team trailed by six points, and Xie Chen did it with two three-pointers.

But fortunately, the Heat are in good condition today. Xie Chen threw the ball to Hassan, and Hassan easily succeeded with a high toss after catching the ball.

"Hassan has really improved a lot..." Xie Chen looked at Hassan who scored again, and couldn't help admiring. In just one year, even if Hassan trains hard every day, he can't improve so much, right?This made Xie Chen miss last season very much. If Hassan was so strong at that time, playing the Cavaliers would not be so hard.

Since the opponent also returned two points after shooting two points, then Xie Chen shot three points!

Still holding the ball to attack, or relying on screens to get rid of the defense, or gaining room to shoot through dribbling, or shooting when the opponent clearly knows that he is going to shoot, the final result is still the same goal!
Swish!
Three points into the network!

"Oh my God, what a high arc, why is the hit rate so high for such a shot! Are Xie and Stephen Curry from Earth?" The fans at the scene were helpless.

The generals of the Warriors who were watching the game also looked helpless. Iguodala asked Stephen Curry directly: "Are you sure this is not your brother? It is too strange to have the same grasp of three-pointers and this shooting posture as you."

Stephen Curry was about to cry too. He thought he was the only BT in the league, and he could shoot so hard that his opponents would go crazy, but seeing Xie Chen shoot a three-pointer, he would be helpless and go crazy too!

Since Curry was born, how can Xie Chen be born!

This time, the Heat finally failed to respond to Xie Chen in the same way. Afterwards, Xie Chen scored consecutive points and tied the score after a few minutes!
No one accused Xie Chen of saying that Xie Chen was arrogant and ignored his opponent, because Xie Chen had the capital!Sweeping the Raptors almost by himself has proved Xie Chen's strength, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to the Heat.Many people don't know that without the threat of the legendary Heat, Xie Chen would have played these two games very easily.

"It seems that their series is going to become a one-to-one tie. Next, when they return to the home court of the Knicks, I am afraid that the Heat will face difficulties." Drummond Green said looking at the situation on the field.

Coach Cole said, "Don't rush to draw conclusions. Let's see Xie's physical condition in the fourth quarter. Moreover, the Heat's shooting percentage is very high today, so there may not be no chance of winning."

Many people are worried about Xie Chen's physical strength in the fourth quarter, because in the fourth quarter of the last game, Xie Chen didn't stand up and score, which made the game fall into a final stalemate. He lost the game because he missed the lore.They have to find a way to get a reassuring lead before then.

After playing in the fourth quarter, Xie Chen quickly responded to these questions.

Xie Chen hit Luol Deng with his back, and Luol Deng tried his best to resist. He had the confidence to deal with Xie Chen's force on his body, but he didn't have the confidence to deal with Xie Chen's shooting.
But Xie Chen didn't change his style of play because of Wade's arrival. He didn't pass the ball, didn't stop, and continued to turn around and shoot backwards according to his original plan!Facing the defense of two people!

Luol Deng and Wade jumped up and stretched out their arms to block Xie Chen. Xie Chen moved back in the air, and then made a picturesque backward jump shot like Jordan. The basketball flew out from the palms of both Luol Deng and Wade. Xie Chen's body in the air was already very exaggerated.

Swish!
It's the crisp sound of falling into the Nets again!

"Facing the defense of the two, you can still make such a goal!" Livingston of the Warriors is really convinced. He also often plays the fade-away jumper after post-up singles. He is well aware of the difficulty of this action and the physical strength required.

"It seems that there is no problem with Xie's physical strength. The Heat may die in the hands of Xie alone." Livingston said.

Later, Xie Chen mercilessly staged two dunks in front of his old club, and never stopped shooting three-pointers!The Knicks regained the lead!

However, there was one problem that none of them noticed.
