Super all-around point guard

Chapter 542 Return to Glory!

The series between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks is finally over!
The New York Knicks, the eighth in the East, defeated the Miami Heat, which is ranked fifth in the East, with a total score of 4:2. The weak defeated the strong in two consecutive series. Thinking about the Knicks trailing by two games after the first two games, who would have thought that the series would end so soon?Who would have thought that the Knicks would win four games in a row?

The weakest playoff team in the East should not have this kind of momentum and strength. The winning streak of the Raptors and the Heat has proved that the New York Knicks are definitely not a weak team in the playoffs!

"Eastern Finals! Here we come!"

At Madison Square Garden in New York, the audience stood up and cheered, as did the crowd outside the arena. Finally, they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals again. They had been waiting for this day for too long. Since Anthony and Chauncey Billups joined the New York Knicks, they have been looking forward to this day. They thought that Anthony would make the future of this team bright, but the fact is heartbreaking. Last season, the New York Knicks were even the bottom team in the Eastern Conference!Who would have thought that the New York Knicks would make it to the Eastern Conference Finals in the second season!

This kind of accident makes it hard to hide the excitement in my heart. Xie Chen has brought earth-shaking changes to this team!
When the buzzer sounded, the whole audience was excited. Wade scored a game-high 45 points. His consecutive crazy scoring at the last moment was impressive. I believe everyone has seen that Wade can still help the team. He is still an indispensable soul for the Heat.

Wade let out a long sigh of relief, his expression a little unwilling. Although he had expected such a result, it was still not easy to accept when it actually happened. After all, Wade has reached the finals for many years, and he will be absent this year. What he is worried about is that in the future, will he never have a chance to enter the finals again?
Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew how much pressure Xie Chen had endured in this series and how difficult he had faced. On the surface, Xie Chen was only dealing with a group of familiar veterans, but in fact, Xie Chen had to deal with both the Heat in front of him and the legendary Heat team from the strongest period in the past.

Speaking of the legendary teams in the Eastern Conference, besides the legendary Bulls, the legendary Heat are the strongest. The Bulls are currently 2:3 behind the Cavaliers. It seems that it is difficult to escape from the Cavaliers. That is to say, Xie Chen has successfully broken through the difficulty of being the strongest legendary team in this year's playoffs.

"Who will I meet next? I would rather meet the Cavaliers and LeBron James." Xie Chen secretly said.

At this time, Anthony stepped forward, shook hands with Xie Chen excitedly, and then hugged each other: "Brother, we did it. I haven't felt so excited for a long time!"

Xie Chen can understand Anthony's mood. Not only Anthony, Xie Chen also jumped up excitedly when he saw Derrick Williams and Porzingis, and the bench was even more jubilant.

For Anthony, he has been in the East for so long, and he has never tried the Eastern Conference Finals stage. When he was in the Western Conference, Anthony touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, and then fought six games with Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference Finals.

It's a pity that after coming to the Eastern Conference, he either lost to the Celtics or his good brothers in the same class, or he couldn't even make the playoffs. Over the years, he has gradually become depressed, and he no longer has the momentum he had in the Nuggets, but Xie Chen's arrival has re-stimulated his youthful feelings!
Xie Chen patted Anthony and said with a smile, "Get ready for a big fight with your brother!"

Anthony nodded, the next opponent, without much suspense, is LeBron James!

LeBron James is also looking at the jubilant situation on the court at the moment, everything is in his expectation, and it is the Knicks who have advanced, and James is completely ready to face the Knicks.

After the game, when Wade of the Heat was interviewed by a media reporter, the reporter asked him how he evaluated this series and the Knicks opponent. Wade said: "We lost to the magic. Xie used his magical performance after another to end us. We never really restricted him in any game. Of course, the other Knicks were also very good, but Xie was the key to getting us out."

The reporter then asked: "Next, the New York Knicks will face the winner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls. Now that the Cavaliers have the lead, the odds of winning are greater. You, Xie, and LeBron are good friends and former teammates. Who do you think will win?"

Wade has long guessed that he will face such a problem. The match between James and Xie Chen has always been expected by all fans, and it is also a hot topic in the media. Especially last year, Wade and Xie Chen jointly defeated James. James is bound to get revenge this year.

Not being able to face James again with Xie Chen made Wade feel very ashamed. Regarding this question, Wade said with a smile: "I have reached the finals for many years in a row. This is the first time I am absent this year. I am already very unhappy, so I have no mood to think about them. I can only say that LeBron and Xie are the most talented teammates I have ever worked with. They are the two most capable players on the planet."

This answer obviously did not satisfy the reporter, so the reporter asked another tricky question: "Your contract is about to expire, will you still choose to stay with the Heat? Have you talked to Pat Riley about renewing the contract? Are you satisfied with the conditions he gave? Will you switch to the Knicks and work with Xie again?"

Wade watched the reporters' pursuit with a smile, but did not answer the question.

Xie Chen defeated his old team when his teammates were not well equipped. At this time, many netizens stood up and posted posts to satirize Riley's decision last season. In any case, Xie Chen should not be let go. Not optimistic about the Knicks winning the championship or even advancing to the finals.

In the sixth game, Pat Riley also came to New York with the team. It can be said that Riley watched all these six games on the spot. Xie Chen's performance every minute was clear to Riley. After tasting the result of failure, Riley also became melancholy.

At the beginning, Xie Chen's injury and physical condition made Riley very worried. Coupled with the fact that there were too many conflicts between the two, Riley had no choice but to give up Xie Chen and send him to the Knicks. He expected that Xie Chen might be very good this season, but he absolutely did not expect Xie Chen to bring a team like the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals!
Xie Chen completely exceeded the imagination of the fortune teller Pat Riley!
"In just one season, his body has not been affected at all. Why is his progress so exaggerated? Of course Stephen Curry has also made great progress, but the progress of the two is different. Curry has upgraded his existing ability, while Xie has completely developed a new ability! Failing jumper, Xie didn't know this thing last season, could it be Phil Jackson's masterpiece?" Pat Riley knew that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

The end of the series, for the Heat, was the end of the season. They could pack their bags and go home. For Xie Chen, it was also a rare opportunity to relax. So that night, Xie Chen went to drink with them at the most famous nightclub in New York, as a farewell.

Hassan Whiteside was still worried about the issue of contract renewal, so he drank a lot when he came up, and he was a little drunk within an hour. He said to Xie Chen, "You must win the Cavaliers. Last year we fought side by side to defeat them. That guy LeBron must have put his hatred on you alone. You can't let him succeed. Even you defeated us. What are the Cavaliers! Right, boss?"

Wade said with a smile: "You really drank too much, Hassan, the Cavaliers are definitely not that easy to deal with. The Cavaliers we met last year did not have Kevin Love, and even Kyrie Irving was injured and missed the game. We took advantage of this. This year they have a full lineup, and LeBron will never miss this opportunity for revenge. Thank you, be careful."

Xie Chen only cares about drinking and relaxing. He just accepts their reminders with a smile and doesn't care at all. Maybe many people still think that Xie Chen is afraid of James and the Knicks are not as good as the Cavaliers, but Xie Chen will use facts to prove who is the strongest player!

Indeed, the Cavaliers are stronger than the one Xie Chen met last year, and the lineup is more neat, but Xie Chen is not the same Xie Chen last year!He also becomes stronger!

After drinking with his good brothers, Xie Chen, who smelled of alcohol, didn't plan to go home to disturb his pregnant wife, but opened a room in the hotel where Wade and the others stayed.

Because after Xie Chen entered the room, the drunk Hassan ran over to chat for a few more words, but he didn't close the door when he left. Xie Chen rushed to take a shower again, but didn't notice.

After Pat Riley learned that Xie Chen was also staying in this hotel, he thought about coming up to chat with Xie Chen. When he saw that the door was not closed properly, his instinctive reaction was to push the door in, but a past experience made him give up doing so.

Many years ago, Riley went to Michael Jordan in this way. At that time, he just opened the door and walked in. However, Jordan was naked and scolded Riley on the spot: "Get out of this room!"

Reluctantly, Riley walked away, and the next morning, slipped a note through the crack of the door.

Riley hesitated in front of the door, thinking that he should throw the note again, so he found a pen and paper and wrote, "You are still so good. I hope we can fight for the championship together in the future, even ten years later."

Just stuffed it in, Xie Chen happened to come out wrapped in a bath towel, and suddenly found that the door was not closed properly, and there was a white note coming in from the outside, Xie Chen immediately asked: "Who is it?"

When I approached and opened the door, I found that it was Pat Riley!

"Why is it you?" Xie Chen was a little surprised, seeing Pat Riley stuffing the note like a thief, not at all like a president.

Xie Chen glanced at the contents of the note and said with a smile, "Why didn't you come in? The door was not closed just now."

Pat Riley walked into the room and said, "I'm afraid of being scolded and kicked out of the room by a superstar again. I always choose a bad time to meet a star like you."

Xie Chen didn't understand what Riley said, but he was very happy to see what Riley wrote on the note. He would say that, that is, he had recognized Xie Chen, and Riley seemed to intend to recruit Xie Chen back to the Heat.

Xie Chen smiled and asked Riley: "Have you finally regretted your decision?"

Pat Riley smiled and said, "With the result now, if I say I don't regret it, I'm afraid you won't believe it either."

Unexpectedly, Xie Chen said, "You are right to be cautious, Mr. Riley."

"Oh? I don't quite understand." Riley didn't think Xie Chen was joking.

Taking advantage of the wine, Xie Chen said, "You are really good, and you deserve to be called a fortune teller, but even you can't figure out what kind of player I am, so you choose a more stable way to win the championship. In fact, even if I stay with the Heat, my road to winning this year will be very difficult. It's not as easy as last year..."

The more Xie Chen talked, the more confused Pat Riley became. Xie Chen was obviously stronger than last year, but why did he say that winning the championship would not be as easy as last year?
"Is it that injury...hasn't fully recovered yet?" Pat Riley immediately thought of Xie Chen's injury. After all, Xie Chen fought with an injury in the playoffs last season, and he also acted so crazy. If it were any player, the impact of the injury on the body would be aggravated.

Xie Chen shook his head: "No, I'm healthy."

Xie Chen threw a cigarette at Pat Riley and asked, "How do you plan to keep Hassan and Wade this summer?"

Pat Riley lit a cigarette, maybe he hadn't smoked for a long time, and coughed: "They are all indispensable for the Heat to win the championship. We will try our best to keep Hassan Whiteside, but his best wish now is not in the Heat, but to follow you. With his help, there is no doubt that your chances of winning the championship in the future will be greater. But I still hope that you can keep Hassan in the Heat. I will do my best to make him the best center in the league."

Xie Chen didn't say anything on this question, but instead asked: "What about Wade? Are you planning to give him a long-term contract?"

Pat Riley didn't answer either, but stubbed out his cigarette, then stood up and said, "My body is really getting worse and worse. I don't know if I can last until you retire."

Riley patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and said, "I wish you defeat the knight."
