Super all-around point guard

Chapter 554 Crazy Fast Break!
It can also be seen from this fast break that the Cavaliers paid too much attention to Xie Chen, and even used all their defenses to stop Xie Chen alone. They thought that as long as they stopped Xie Chen, they could stop the Knicks from scoring, but this was not the case at all.

Williams actually created a 2+1 opportunity, which made no one expect that Williams is not a player that the Cavaliers pay special attention to. His statistics, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, are very average. Although his scoring ability is not top-notch, Williams is young and aggressive, especially with good physical confrontation and amazing jumping. These two things are enough to make Williams sufficiently threatening in fast breaks.

In such a quick transition attack, Derrick Williams is even more important than Carmelo Anthony.

Xie Chen and Derek Williams are very good fast-break partners. In this game, Xie Chen wants the Cavaliers to see the threat of Derek Williams.

Williams made a steady penalty, and the Knicks continued to lead the score.

Although they have been lagging behind, as long as Xie Chen doesn't score, the blow to the Cavaliers is not too big.

It seems that James really wants to fight Xie Chen with all his strength in this game, and continue to rely on his own strength to score. He doesn't seem to care about physical strength at all, and he doesn't care whether he can survive in the end.
However, Xie Chen would never allow James to catch up like this.He also became desperate and tried his best.

This time, James missed a jumper. Tristan Thompson and Robin Lopez stood under the basket, and their bodies were entangled. Although Lopez stood closer to the basket, under the physical confrontation, Lopez obviously couldn't control Thompson behind him. Thompson's sense of smell on rebounds is very sensitive. He knew where the ball would appear at a glance.

The defensive rebounds that Lopez should have gotten steadily seemed to be out of reach. This was the case in the last game. Many defensive rebounds that should have been won were not obtained, which gave the Cavaliers many opportunities for second offense.

The rebound bounced out of the frame, and Lopez tried his best to take off. Lopez is not a very talented guy. Compared with the rebounding monsters, he is inconspicuous at all, and he is not a particularly fierce person, but he is a person who does not want to admit defeat.

And it was this kind of mood and determination that made him compete with opponents for rebounds more intensely. If Lopez couldn't get the ball, Thompson couldn't get it easily.

After the two scrambled, neither of them got the ball, and the ball was dialed to the right by Lopez.

When Xie Chen saw this, he was extremely fast and rushed over immediately. At the same time, James on the left also rushed over to fight for it.

In the end, it was Xie Chen who took the lead and got the rebound firmly in his hands.

However, at this time, Xie Chen was almost close to the sideline.In addition, there is a big guy like James rushing over, and now he is standing behind Xie Chen, James is bigger than Xie Chen, just standing in front of Xie Chen is a threat, not to mention that James wants to take the opportunity to force Xie Chen out of bounds, or snatch the ball from Xie Chen's hand.

"Xie Chen was blocked by James on the sideline! He can't get out!"

Xie Chen's body balance is very good, and he was not intimidated by James. Seeing that James was really blocking him, Xie Chen was a little anxious because he was eager to play a defensive counterattack. Attacking when the Cavaliers were not in formation was the most effective scoring method for the Knicks. He could not give up any such opportunity.

Xie Chen immediately made a move that had to make James back.

After Xie Chen got the ball, he lowered his head and glanced at James' feet, and then the basketball in his hand seemed eager to try.

"Damn it, this guy wants to throw the ball on me and out of bounds!" James immediately realized what Xie Chen wanted to do.

The position where Xie Chen is standing is not easy to pass the ball. He is easy to be interrupted and wastes time. He needs his teammates to come forward to respond. Everyone knows that although Xie Chen has just entered the league, his style of play is unpredictable. He can think of any kind of trick.

James was once beaten by Xie Chen, and he was also afraid. He didn't want to play this kind of game with Xie Chen. Seeing that Xie Chen was going to repeat the same trick, he instinctively took a step back.

Seeing that James retreated and gave Xie Chen space, Xie Chen no longer worried, turned around and threw the ball on the floor!The ball passed through James' crotch!
Xie Chen quickly got up and got rid of James' defense!
The ball is divided!

"Xie actually used this trick on James!"

As soon as he passed James, Owen was about to come up to take out the ball, but Xie Chen was alerted in advance, and he turned around with a beautiful back and passed Owen directly!

"Beautiful turn around!"

Turning around so quickly, facing Owen who is still a master of turning around, how can we not make people overwhelmed!
"Stop him!" Tyronn Lue was anxious on the sidelines and yelled loudly.

How could he not be worried?Xie Chen passed the two Cavaliers defenders in one fell swoop. These two may be the two fastest runners on the Cavaliers. Moreover, Xie Chen is extremely fast, reaching the frontcourt in two or three steps. Should he get a rebound from the backcourt, and then run to the frontcourt for a one-stop layup?
Westbrook often does such unnatural things. Xie Chen has Westbrook's speed, so he has to do such unnatural things.

In the arena, everyone was running. The Cavaliers were running hard to get back to the defense. The Knicks were running hard to break fast. Although Xie Chen was on the baseline when he received the ball, he was the farthest person from the basket in the frontcourt, but after two or three steps, he was already the first person from the Knicks to get close to the basket.

"What a terrifying speed! Running with the ball is faster than others running without the ball!" This really surprised the Cavaliers fans. James is also very focused today. It seems that both teams will work hard in this game!
Xie Chen is just like Westbrook. No matter what else, let’s get to your basket first. Everyone in the Cavaliers still uses Xie Chen’s defense. There is no way, Xie Chen is qualified to enjoy this special defensive care. His threat is too great.

Under such circumstances, it may be too much for Xie Chen to directly fly for a dunk. For a layup, whether it is using Rose's layup ability or James' layup ability, the certainty is not too great. First of all, Rose's layup ability has little chance of winning when facing so many people defending.

As for James' layup ability, he can't play with too high difficulty. Only relying on his body, unless the referee calls a foul, otherwise, he is not sure. If it is one-on-one, Xie Chen is still confident that he will draw a foul. But if two or three people chase him, it will be difficult for Xie Chen to draw a foul.

If Xie Chen had Michael Jordan's layup ability at his peak, Xie Chen could rush to layup without hesitation, but now, Xie Chen can't be so willful.

He paid attention to the position of Derek Williams behind him, and then, after accelerating, he rushed up!

"He's going for a layup! He's looking for death!"

Everyone thinks Xie Chen is crazy to score. This is completely ignoring the Cavaliers' defense. Tristan Thompson is ready to chase the cap. He doesn't believe so many people, so he can't block Xie Chen!Unless Xie Chen can really fly, and can not come down in the air!
Xie Chen's jump directly caused the three Cavaliers' defensive players to jump up. The scene of the three reaching out to cover Xie Chen at the same time was indeed spectacular, and it made the Knicks fans tremble with fear.

Xie Chen carefully protected the basketball in the air, but in the eyes of everyone, it was useless. No matter how careful the protection was, as soon as he made a shot, three big hands were waiting on it, and the shot would be blocked!

I saw that Xie Chen didn't throw it up in the air, but threw it backwards.

It's a pass!
Xie Chen ran from the sideline position in the backcourt all the way to the deepest basket in the frontcourt. Everyone thought he was crazy. He wanted to carry the team by himself.

Moreover, this time, the teammate who passed it was Derek Williams!
After receiving the ball, Williams jumped up ferociously and rushed to the basket!
After being cheated, Tristan Thompson was very unconvinced. After falling, he jumped up again, trying to stop Williams.

"No!" James shouted at Thompson from behind.

However, it was too late, Thompson still jumped up, and stretched out his hand to stop Williams, the movement was still big, but unfortunately, Williams had already charged up completely, his speed and energy reached the highest value at this moment, Thompson chose to take off on the spot to stop Williams at this time, it was like a mantis!

Tristan Thompson gets humiliated by Derrick Williams!
boom!
Xie Chen's pass helped Williams directly dunk Thompson to the ground!Not only that, the referee also blew Thompson's defensive foul!
Another 2+1!

Another perfect match between Xie Chen and Williams!
"Ah!" Derek Williams shouted excitedly, the feeling of dunking the opponent's inside line is really cool, and this is still the playoffs!It's still the Eastern Conference Finals!
Xie Chen was also so excited that he jumped up and bumped into Williams' shoulders on the spot, patting and encouraging him, "You did a great job, buddy, this is your value, this is your ability!"

At this time, Popovich also said: "Derrick Williams is likely to become famous because of this battle. Xie really made many people around him better."

With Derrick Williams playing 2+1 in a row, the Cavaliers' momentum was finally hit and a little depressed, and Tyronn Lue finally had to call a timeout.

Tyronn Lue said to everyone: "Guys, they were very excited at the beginning. We have to slow down their rhythm as much as possible and bring them to a rhythm we are familiar with. The game has just begun, and we have plenty of opportunities..."

Tyronn Lue hopes that everyone can calm down, play more calmly, and not be affected by the opponent, but at least Thompson can't calm down at the moment. Being humiliated by a player like Williams really makes him unbearable. Of course, he thinks Xie Chen is the most hated. If Xie Chen passed the ball to Williams, how could Williams have the opportunity to act wildly on top of him?

The Cavaliers were extremely angry when they came up. It seems that both Thompson and James have decided to fight the Knicks!

Playing with all your strength is really scary, especially when blocking shots, grabbing rebounds, and forcing points, it can make a player stronger and give full play to his own energy.

However, there are also downsides to working too hard. For example, he may not be able to better analyze and interpret the opponent from the overall situation.

Another time the Cavaliers missed an offense, and the Knicks got the defensive rebound steadily. The Cavaliers once again faced the Knicks' fast break led by Xie Chen!

Xie Chen's ball-holding speed is still terrible. When Xie Chen holds the ball in his hands and makes a fast break, the Cavaliers have to beware of the first threat, which is Xie Chen rushing directly to the basket to score. Now, they also have to worry about the second threat, which is the cooperation between Xie Chen and Williams.

Williams moved very aggressively. When Xie Chen reached the free throw line, Williams had already rushed in on his right side. Xie Chen quickly hit the ground and passed the ball to Williams.

The ball is in Williams' hands again!

However, no one noticed that when Xie Chen gave Williams the ball, his eyes squeezed Williams to the rear right.

At this time, Ray Allen was gradually running towards the corner three-point line.

"Defend him!" Tai Lue yelled from the sidelines. Xie Chen and Williams had cooperated too many times, and Williams could not score again.

There was already a defender in front of Williams. Williams's speed was astonishing and domineering dunks, but in the case of someone sticking to the defense, the shooting percentage was not very high. Many people thought that the Cavaliers' defense was perfect this time. They immediately intercepted the Knicks' most threatening fast-break duo, but they never expected that the next Williams made perhaps the most exquisite pass in his career.

Williams received a pass from Xie Chen while running, and just as he got the ball in his hands, he passed the ball without looking at anyone and threw the ball behind him!

"What?" The defenders were stunned. Did Williams let go?
Looking again, the ball actually went to Ray Allen!Ray Allen just ran to the bottom corner three-point line!
Jun Zilei catches the ball dryly, makes a cool shot, and makes a precise hit!
The entire Knicks bench players all jumped up!
The Knicks' fast break stunned the Cavaliers!
In the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed the Knicks by 15 points!
