Super all-around point guard

Chapter 551 Overtime Crisis!

In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the performances of the stars of both sides did not disappoint the audience. Whether it was the Big Three of the Cavaliers or the golden double guns of the Knicks, they all performed very well.

James' personal data is actually not very impressive, at least compared with Xie Chen, it is much inferior, scoring less than 30 points, but the victory is average, and a triple-double in the playoffs is also a remarkable thing.

After this game, even if there is no result yet, I believe that everyone will no longer question Xie Chen's No.1 status in the league. Without his chasing points again and again, the Cavaliers have already turned into garbage time with their huge lead.

In the last 16 seconds, the Cavaliers 107:105, leading the Knicks by two points, the Knicks have the ball.

"This ball is critical. The last ball must be handed over to Xie Chen. Xie Chen has carried the team's scoring task on his shoulders since the second quarter. Let's see if he has been miraculous for the whole game. Can this last moment be miraculous again." Yang Yi felt tired for Xie Chen.

Ke Fan also became excited: "I don't know whether Xie Chen will choose to shoot two points or three points."

Xie Chen held the ball in the half court, and everyone in the Cavaliers was highly concentrated. Although they all knew that Xie Chen would play the last attack with a probability of more than 90.00%, but they had no choice but to keep an eye on their own players.

James is very sensitive to Xie Chen's every move. Although the outcome of the first game is not very important, in James' view, it can bring great confidence to the team.

"Chris Xie, Stephen Curry, this year I will beat you all at once!" This is James' playoff ambition.

Xie Chen made a sudden breakthrough, which immediately caused the Cavaliers' defense to panic. James was most afraid of Xie Chen's sudden layup.

James was in a hurry. Seeing that Xie Chen meant to find a vacant seat for his teammates, he immediately yelled, "It's empty over there!"

Those who defended Xie Chen quickly went to make up the defense, and Xie Chen got a one-on-one chance with James.

There is still plenty of time, Xie Chen wanted to quickly score a two-pointer, but now Xie Chen decided to use up the last shot.

Xie Chen dribbled the ball and suddenly retreated.

"He's attracting James to follow! He's going to single out James on the last ball!"

Xie Chen didn't stop until he retreated to the three-point line, and James really didn't dare to leave, and followed Xie Chen step by step, with his hands stretched out all the time, and always paying attention to the distance, not too far away or too close.

At this time, the head coach of the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue, was a little panicked: "Damn, why did LeBron defend him on the last ball!"

James has a huge advantage in height and strength against Xie Chen. However, in terms of one-on-one, Xie Chen's speed cannot be restricted by James. Coupled with Xie Chen's quick shooting ability, James may not be the most suitable person to defend Xie Chen.

For the fans, this is simply too exciting. James defends Xie Chen, and the two superstars decide whether the Cavaliers will win next, or the two sides will enter overtime!
What is more difficult for James now is that he doesn't know whether Xie Chen wants to shoot a three-pointer or break through to get two points. With Xie Chen's conceit this season, it is possible to give up the conservative two-pointer and choose a three-pointer to overtake the score.

"Fortunately, I also know the rhythm of his three-pointers." James has studied Xie Chen very deeply. He has watched almost all of Xie Chen's three-pointers this season. He knows Xie Chen's rhythm and dribbling before shooting a three-pointer.

Judging from the way Xie Chen dribbles now, it really does seem like a precursor to shooting a three-pointer.

The time goes from 10 seconds all the way to 8 seconds, 6 seconds.

"Does he really want to wait until the last second? Then kill us?" James panicked, because Xie Chen shouldn't waste time. He has no reason to do so. Now the Cavaliers are leading, not the Knicks. Now it's not a tie. Xie Chen has no reason...

Just as James was thinking, Xie Chen's footsteps suddenly changed.

"coming!"

Xie Chen rushed forward, and James also retreated, but Xie Chen immediately retreated quickly, retreated outside the three-point line again, and then stopped.

Although the footsteps stopped, the ball was still controlled with one hand. Xie Chen seemed to be about to shoot a three-pointer, but he still had the possibility of changing.

James was ready to take off and block the shot, but he still wanted to wait a little longer. Sure enough, Xie Chen didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer immediately. He broke through again and rushed into the three-point line. This time, he took a big step past James' defense.

Only 3 seconds left.

When Xie Chen singled out James, he must use his footsteps to use his speed. If he rushed forward and back like this, James would definitely be dizzy by Xie Chen.

There was not much time left, Xie Chen didn't need to make any further twists and turns, he just jumped up and used Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper!
LeBron James took off at the most appropriate time to block the shot!

Xie Chen's fake action did not deceive James, his advantage was only that he was ahead of James in the speed of the final breakthrough, but James faced Xie Chen's height and long arms, and the two probably offset each other.

At the last moment, James defended Xie Chen. Xie Chen chose Michael Jordan's SS-level fallback jumper. He chose this method to fight James. One reason was that it was an SS skill, which was safer and had a higher success rate.

James used a bounce that was no less than that of the Heat, stretching his long arms towards Xie Chen. In fact, Shumpert on the other side also came to interfere with Xie Chen, but the distance was too far to have any effect at all.

Will Xie Chen's key goal be blocked by James?After all, the last attack of singles king Joe Johnson was blocked by James, and James' defense was terrifying.

If they only looked at the figures of the two, most people would worry about Xie Chen, but when they were in the air, everything changed.

James' hand was very close to the ball in Xie Chen's hand at the beginning, but Xie Chen didn't shoot after taking off, his body was leaning back, and then the ball slowly moved away from James, until he was completely in a safe zone, Xie Chen shot the ball with an exaggerated and extremely graceful posture.

"This movement...it's so beautiful." Kate Upton was completely stunned off the field. For her, it didn't matter whether the ball was scored or not, because she was completely fascinated by seeing Xie Chen's separated legs when he was leaning back in the air.

The ball finally passed James' hands. James really wanted to stop the ball, even if it was just a miss, but James still couldn't do it. He didn't think it was because he was too old to jump high enough, but because Xie Chen opened up the space to shoot from the beginning, and James couldn't block it.

Although James has never experienced Jordan's fadeaway jumper, he has experienced Kobe's, and he was Kobe at his peak. Although Kobe is shorter than James and has no collision with James, James still can't block Kobe's shot. He knows how it happened.

Therefore, he only prayed that the ball would not hit!

"The goal was scored! Xie Chen hit a crucial goal! The two sides drew at the last moment!" Ke Fan said excitedly. It was so enjoyable to see such a crucial goal in the first game!
There were sighs at the scene, Xie Chen was still so amazing!They couldn't help but think of Xie Chen who was with the Heat last season, which made them desperate again and again.

The Cavaliers still had one last chance to attack. Xie Chen gave them less than two seconds. The Cavaliers had to shoot immediately after receiving the ball. Xie Chen guessed that the ball would not go to his own defender, so he aimed at Love. As soon as Love caught the ball and took off, Xie Chen rushed over and blocked it with a slap!
"Overtime! Xie Chen's block sent both sides to overtime!"

"FUVK!" James scolded, how could there be overtime, they have a chance to beat their opponents in four quarters, he doesn't want to play overtime with the Knicks!

Until he returned to the players bench and sat down, James was still in a very bad mood.

Tyronn Lue had to appease James and said to him: "LeBron, it is still beneficial to us in overtime. Xie has been consumed too much. He can't be so amazing all the time."

James replied unceremoniously: "What if he will? We can't pin our hopes on his poor performance!"

"That's it, that's it." Tyronn Lue replied with a smile.

Love also said: "Judging from his singles against LeBron's backward jumper and blocking my shot just now, his physical strength is still very strong. I don't know if he will be like this every game. In short, this game he is in very good condition. He is really a terrible iron man!"

Both James and Love believed that there was nothing wrong with Xie Chen's physical strength, but the fact was the opposite.

Sitting on the bench, Xie Chen was already a little exhausted, and kept wiping his sweat with a towel, feeling agitated: "It's really frustrating. After two consecutive 48-minute games, overtime is still required!"

This is not an ordinary game. This is the Eastern Conference Finals. The intensity of the Eastern Conference Finals is different from the usual one. The four quarters consume more energy than the usual four quarters, and now there will be overtime. For Xie Chen, this is indeed a big test.

But there is no way, overtime, the team still needs Xie Chen to win!
In the first game of the series, the Knicks forced the home team into overtime. It can be seen that the strength of the Knicks is not inferior to that of the Cavaliers. Everyone knows that the whole series will not be too easy.

However, what no one expected was that after four quarters of stalemate, the score suddenly changed in overtime.

After the start of overtime, James couldn't hold back, and finally started to show his strength. His speed was still very fast, his rushing was still fierce, and his percentage of layups that broke through the basket was still very high. On the other hand, the Knicks' defense was no longer as strong as it was in the first four quarters.

Another fatal problem was rebounds. The Knicks could hardly grab rebounds in overtime. Even if the Cavaliers couldn’t score, the Knicks had no way to launch a fast break, and they couldn’t even grab the ball. Lopez even fought harder because of this and was blown off the field with six fouls.

"The situation of the Knicks entering overtime is not good. The Cavaliers have already scored a lot of points quickly because of the Knicks' missed shots, and all of them were initiated by James. He broke through for a layup. The Knicks couldn't defend them. He passed the ball and assisted the Knicks. The Knicks still couldn't defend. On the other hand, the Knicks failed to make such a defensive attack. Now it depends on whether Xie Chen can save the team." Ke Fan began to worry about the Knicks.

After the resumption of the game, it became like this. No one expected it. As the leader, Xie Chen should stand up at this time to stabilize the morale of the army, but the problem is that he is the most exhausted one in the team. He has no spare energy to do anything.

Porzingis passed the ball to Xie Chen at the top of the arc. Before the ball reached Xie Chen's hands, there was a whoosh, and a figure roared past. It was James!James suddenly jumped out from the right corner and cut off the pass to Xie Chen!
The Cavaliers fans were excited. James took two strides to the frontcourt. Xie Chen chased after two steps and then gave up.

Subsequently, James gliding dunks with both hands, detonating the audience!
"Win! James is too strong! He proved himself!"

Entering overtime, the Knicks didn't score many points, but they gave the Cavaliers two points in vain. This fate is worrying.

Yang Yi also shook his head and sighed: "James actually cut off the pass to Xie Chen. It's unbelievable! He gave up his defensive player and waited for Porzingis to pass the ball to Xie Chen. It seems that James already knows the Knicks' tactics well. He gave up chasing, it seems that he is really tired."

Ke Fan also said: "I also think that Xie Chen has a problem with his physical strength. When he stopped after two steps just now, he obviously couldn't raise his breath."

James was also surprised after the gliding dunk. He was confident in breaking Xie Chen's ball, but he thought that after breaking Xie Chen's ball, Xie Chen would not be willing to catch up to the frontcourt to block himself. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen gave up chasing.

"Or, he can't catch up with me at all?" James looked at the panting Xie Chen, and became more aware of Xie Chen's current physical condition.

If Xie Chen is tired again at this time, then there is no suspense in this match!
James finally showed a long-lost smile.
