Super all-around point guard

Chapter 548 Subdue Owen!

Love wants to prove himself through this battle, and Xie Chen will also use this match to respond to doubts, so the biggest highlight of the first match is not James vs. Xie Chen, but Love vs. Xie Chen.

Love dominated the first quarter, and Xie Chen returned ball after ball in the second quarter.

Kevin Love's heart is broken at the moment. Although he played against Xie Chen in the regular season, the regular season game is obviously not comparable to the playoff matchup. This is a life-and-death battle between Love and Xie Chen in the true sense.

When Xie Chen retreated, did you follow or not?If you follow, Xie Chen can easily rush you, if you don't follow, Xie Chen will vote directly.

"This guy doesn't look like someone who has only entered the league for the second year. He is too confident." Kevin Love looked at Xie Chen with disbelief on his face. He recalled his second season. Although he didn't play in the playoffs at that time, he also played tremblingly in important games. He was not as mature and confident as Xie Chen played.

Xie Chen can lose to James and Kyrie Irving in this game, but he can't lose to Love. He just wants to tell Love that even if you were there last year, the result will be the same!
Yang Yi also said excitedly: "After waiting for a whole year, Xie Chen finally has the opportunity to prove that his championship was not won by luck. People always say that the Cavaliers lack Love, so Xie Chen has a chance to win. Now Xie Chen responded to everyone with these two balls."

Through these two three-pointers, the Knicks narrowed the point difference to single digits, and the Knicks players regained their fighting spirit. With Xie Chen's personal score and two assists, after a few minutes, the Knicks finally tied with the Cavaliers!
Ke Fan said excitedly: "It's a tie! It's so fast. I thought the Cavaliers could keep their lead. They were just a dozen points away, and they were caught up by Xie Chen in a short while. I think the Knicks are really strong. Maybe the Knicks can really beat the Cavaliers."

Yang Yi also said with a smile: "The Knicks showed their strength, and they also used this wave of counterattacks to tell the Cavaliers why they appeared on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals. Although the overall strength is not as good as the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers should still pay the most attention to them."

Coach Tyronn Lue saw that the situation was not good, and quickly called a timeout, asking the players to come back and calm down first.

Everyone in the Cavaliers attaches great importance to this game, and Tyronn Lue is no exception. He is probably the person who attaches the most importance to winning or losing besides LeBron James and Kevin Love. Because of the coaching change at the end of the regular season, the Cavaliers have been questioned. Of course, the ability of the new coach Tyronn Lue is questioned.

The previous coach Blatt has never used Love, but Tyronn Lue is not much better than Blatt. As a rookie coach, Tyronn Lue can take the team to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time. It seems to be a good result, but in fact, with the current configuration of the Cavaliers, without giving them a coach, they can still break into the Eastern Conference Finals.

Last season, the Cavaliers coached by Blatt stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals and lost to the Heat led by Xie Chen. Tyronn Lue must win the Eastern Conference Championship to prove that he is a better coach than Blatt.

Tai Lue is also under a lot of pressure.

"Don't slacken your defense. You can't let Xie Chen pass the ball so comfortably. You must always put pressure on him." Tyronn Lue said to the main players. In fact, he has no good way to deal with Xie Chen. He can only do his best to obey the destiny.

After the battle between Love and Xie Chen caused two waves of climax, the game gradually returned to calm, and the score was also uneventful. Everyone knew that since both sides had reached the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, they were not weak teams. No one would want to defeat their opponents in one blow. At the same time, everyone was waiting for the next person to cause a whirlpool.

James' emotional intelligence is too high and he is too patient. He can wait and endure until he has to go out. You know, among the Big Three, the one who wants to revenge Xie Chen the most is not Irving or Love, but James.

But no matter how much he wants to compete with Xie Chen in his heart, he wants to ravage the opponent's basket crazily, but James can still focus on the overall situation and use the most reasonable method to win.

James can keep waiting, but the other guy, can't wait.

He is Kyrie Irving.

In the past two years, Kyrie Irving has attracted the attention of many people with his gorgeous playing style. He won the MVP in the All-Star Game and gained many fans. With James' return to the Cavaliers, Irving has become a player that has attracted much attention from basketball fans all over the world.

Even before, Irving was once known as the No. [-] point guard in the Eastern Conference.

But now, let alone in the East, where does Irving rank in the entire league?
First of all, Xie Chen and Stephen Curry are definitely above Irving. There is no doubt about it. Except for their two MVP-level point guards, although Chris Paul has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, his leadership ability is also very strong, so he must be ahead of Irving in the position of point guard.

Westbrook has all kinds of triple-doubles this season. He once won six triple-doubles in a month. The Thunder's record in the regular season is also very good, and they are also ranked ahead of Irving.

Lillard, this guy is also amazing this season. When he played against the Warriors, he scored 51 points, 7 assists and 6 steals.

Judging from his performance this season, Irving is obviously not as crazy as Lillard.

There is also John Wall. Many people are optimistic that Wall will be a player far better than Irving in the future. Wall is one of the top point guards in the league who can pass the ball best.

If you look at it this way, Irving can't even rank among the top five point guards in the league. He once wanted to become the best point guard in the league. How can such a result be tolerated!
"I want to prove myself. Maybe my personal strength is not as good as Xie, but I will do my best to beat him and advance to the finals. I have better teammates. As long as I beat him and win the championship, someone will realize my value." Kyrie Irving secretly said.

During the warm-up before the game, Irving made 11 of 8 three-pointers and felt very good. So at the beginning of the third quarter, Irving wanted to try his own three-pointers.

Owen has always maintained that calmness, and there is no murderous look in his eyes, but he is someone who can kill opponents silently.

Two consecutive three-pointers!Irving made the fans excited again!

Xie Chen was still resting off the court at this time, but Owen unexpectedly chose to launch an attack at this time.

"I'm really confident." Xie Chen got up immediately and was ready to play. He must not let the Cavaliers get up at any time, otherwise chasing points will be troublesome.

"Irving's three-pointer today is really accurate. It was Love in the first half, Irving in the third quarter, James played again in the fourth quarter, and it was Xie Chen's turn. I wonder if Xie Chen can hold it?" Ke Fan commented.

Yang Yi said: "Love and Irving pose no threat to Xie Chen. Xie Chen can recover their crazy scoring. The most important thing is James. Xie Chen has already exhausted a lot of physical strength to fight against Love and Irving. When James plays again, it will be a great test for Xie Chen."

Against a team with the Big Three, you have to bear this, and you have to anticipate what to do if the Big Three play well at the same time. James' current scoring is basically a fast break, but it can be seen that the state is also good. Today's situation is probably that the Big Three are all in shape.

As soon as Xie Chen came on the court, he returned a three-pointer to Irving, which temporarily suppressed the opponent's momentum, but Irving would never be intimidated by Xie Chen's arrival. Last year's tie-breaker with the Heat, Irving did not play. Irving also wanted to prove that if he was there, they would win!

Owen suddenly accelerated and broke through, heading directly to the basket from the left. Xie Chen slowed down a bit, but quickly followed, blocking Owen under the basket at the first time, preventing him from getting a quick layup.

Irving gave up the difficult pull-up layup. After all, it was Xie Chen defending him. He also had to be careful about Xie Chen's defense. In the last series, Owen was taken by Xie Chen a lot. Now he is more cautious when facing Xie Chen.

Seeing Owen stop under the basket, Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Owen stepped back with the ball, his back to the basket, and looked forward, as if he was looking for his teammates. After all, he had given up the best offensive opportunity just now.

But just when everyone thought Irving was going to pass the ball or look for a breakthrough opportunity, Irving suddenly made a jumper and shot directly from the spot!
"What? A shot?" Xie Chen was also taken aback, and quickly reached out to block the shot, but Owen's shot was too fast, the ball slid directly to the basket, and even went in!

Irving also scored 8 points in a row!
"Oh, good shot!" Ke Fan also shouted.

Yang Yi was also surprised: "Owen's ball was really unexpected. He quickly broke through and hit the basket. Seeing that Xie Chen followed and gave up on the layup, everyone watched him suddenly jump up and shoot when he was about to go out or pass the ball. And it was a fadeaway jumper. It is really surprising to play this level of fadeaway jumper so close to the basket."

Xie Chen really didn't expect that he would choose to shoot here, because giving up the layup before had already shown that Owen played very cautiously, but the next offensive choice was even more risky than the one just now!

Although this position is very close to the basket, Irving's shooting method is leaning back, and in order to avoid Xie Chen's block, it is an extremely high arc, which is no less difficult than a pull-up layup.

Xie Chen also had to praise Owen. Xie Chen couldn't figure out Owen's footsteps, and Xie Chen couldn't figure out Owen's offensive choices. This is an opponent you can't predict.

Irving is still calm after scoring a goal. He has a very clear understanding of himself. Maybe I am not as accurate as you in three-pointers, maybe I am not as good as you in dunks, and maybe I am slightly inferior to you in various scoring methods. But experience, experience on the NBA court, Irving is definitely above Xie Chen. Unless Xie Chen is a genius, it is not as good as Irving has played longer than Xie Chen.

However, Owen didn't know that Xie Chen only played for two seasons on the surface, but in fact, because of the away challenge to the legendary team, Xie Chen has played for more than two seasons. Owen has more experience than Xie Chen, but not much. You know, every opponent of Xie Chen is a legendary team, which is something Owen can't compare with Xie Chen.

Irving is a good opponent. Xie Chen likes this kind of challenge. Xie Chen said to Owen: "Besides Stephen Curry, you are the person I like to play against in the league the most."

Owen smiled: "Really? I feel very honored."

The two people who were fighting fiercely did not show their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

"The real big boss of the Cavaliers hasn't played yet. I can't lose against Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving." Xie Chen had to respond to Irving.

This time, Xie Chen played Irving in singles, and he dribbled very well. Owen knew that Xie Chen's dribbling was also very good, so he didn't dare to steal easily. He defended Xie Chen, and what he feared most was Xie Chen's three-pointer, so he must not be rid of by Xie Chen.

After Xie Chen couldn't get rid of the dribble, Williams suddenly stepped forward to cover for Xie Chen. Xie Chen quickly moved to the right with the help of Williams' screen.

Seeing that Irving came quickly, but didn't take off, Xie Chen didn't choose to shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to Williams, quickly got the ball back, and continued to play singles with Irving.

It made everyone feel a little weird.

"Oh? Didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer? It seems that Xie Chen wants to find a better opportunity. Owen's defense is still good." Ke Fan commented.

Facing Owen again, Xie Chen chose a more direct way, forcefully, and after breaking through, seeing Owen quickly catch up, he immediately turned his back and leaned on Owen. When he leaned on him, Owen was forced to take a step back by Xie Chen. It can be seen that Xie Chen's weight gain plan in summer was very successful.

After Xie Chen leaned back, he quickly turned over and made a jump shot with just one click, because if the speed was slow, Xie Chen would definitely be double-teamed.

Xie Chen moved quickly, and Owen didn't have a chance to think, but this time, Owen still didn't take off!

"I don't believe you didn't jump!" Xie Chen still didn't choose to shoot this time, and once again passed it to his teammates, and once again quickly wanted to come back.

"What's the situation?" Everyone in the audience looked dumbfounded.

Xie Chen singled Owen for the third time, and this time came to a position closer to the basket. As soon as Xie Chen raised his arm, Owen jumped up. There was really no way. It was too easy for Xie Chen to score in such a close position.

And Xie Chen used James' layup ability to easily complete a 2+1.

It took Xie Chen three chances to score the goal, and Owen was very upset: "You just want to make me foul?"

Owen questioned Xie Chen.

Xie Chen replied: "Yes, because I know that facing you, I can easily score 2+1."
