Super all-around point guard

Chapter 555 Fast Break Showdown!
This is the result that no one expected!

The Cavaliers are considered to be the strongest team in the East, and they fell behind the Knicks by so many points in the first quarter!This is simply unbelievable. The Cavaliers' defense was completely broken by the Knicks. Everyone in the Knicks seemed to be flying, and the Cavaliers couldn't stop them at all. The person who manipulated all this was Xie Chen!

"Oh my God, I can't believe the Knicks can lead the Cavaliers by so many points! The strength they showed in the first quarter feels stronger than the Warriors and Spurs!"

The Knicks played the most perfect first quarter since the playoffs, facing the strongest opponent in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers. This gave everyone a new understanding of the Knicks team. Most of the time, everyone always thinks that the Knicks are not as strong as other strong teams, especially that the Knicks have no strong scoring points other than Xie Chen and Anthony. However, in today's game, Derek Williams made everyone shine.

Coupled with Derek Williams' braided hairstyle, he gained more attention and fans.

The performance of the New York Knicks in the first quarter also stunned the entire Spurs team.

Veteran Tim Duncan touched his thigh and kept exclaiming: "It's too fast, they are too fast! As soon as the backcourt gets a rebound, Xie will rush to the frontcourt as if a booster is installed on his body. His speed seems to be faster than Westbrook, and Derek Williams, he advances so fast."

The speed of Xie Chen and Williams shocked Duncan. For veterans, speed is their major weakness. That is to say, if the opponent is them, when Xie Chen attacks their basket so quickly, neither Duncan nor Aldridge can keep up with Xie Chen's footsteps. They can only watch and score.

The Spurs have too many veterans, and not many players with great physical talent. Even Leonard is not particularly fast. During the regular season, the Spurs lost to the Thunder and Suns due to opponents’ fast breaks, so they had to worry about meeting the Knicks.

LeBron James, who was sitting on the bench, was very upset. He just won the first game. He wanted to go all out tonight and continue to win the second game. He played well, but he never expected that the Knicks played the top fast break in the league.

James was uncomfortable with every shot Ray Allen made, because Ray Allen was supposed to be James' man, and these points were supposed to help him.

While wiping his face with a towel, James looked at Derek Williams on the opposite side of the bench, thinking to himself: "I remember this guy dunking very hard, but his speed, in my impression, was not so fast before. Since Xie joined the Knicks, Williams' speed and explosiveness seem to have increased compared to before."

James' feeling is not wrong. Williams has indeed changed a lot this season, especially his speed, which is faster than before, and he has lost weight, but it doesn't seem obvious. The reason why Williams did all this is to cooperate with Xie Chen.

Fisher looked at Xie Chen and Williams, and felt very comforted in his heart. Both Xie Chen and Williams joined the New York Knicks this season. Fisher would never have thought that the combination of these two people would have such power.

Anthony didn't score much in the first quarter, and Xie Chen and Williams took all the scenes, but Anthony was very happy, patted Williams on the shoulder and encouraged: "Good job, keep doing this."

How dare Williams be proud in front of Anthony, fearing that he would steal Anthony's limelight, he said timidly, "Boss..."

Anthony saw Williams' mood and said: "You are 7 years younger than me. Your speed and explosive power are impossible for me now. The team needs you, and you need to take this responsibility."

Unknowingly, the Knicks became more and more like a whole. In the second game of the Eastern Conference finals, everyone seemed to be cohesive.

However, it is not a good signal for the "weak team" to lead the "strong team" by so many points. They must be on guard against the counterattack of the "strong team" at any time. Once this kind of counterattack starts, it is quite terrifying.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kyrie Irving led the team to chase points, while Anthony and Porzingis also stabilized their morale on the court, ready to deal with the counterattack of the Cavaliers' second team at any time.

As long as the Cavaliers score, the Knicks will respond immediately. After a few minutes of playing, the Cavaliers are still behind the Knicks by double digits.

James, can't wait!

James, Xie Chen, and Williams played at the same time, and a big showdown was about to start again!

James is eager to win. He doesn't want the team to stay behind. In most people's eyes, the Knicks played crazy in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers were a little confused, but in the second quarter, the situation will slowly return to normal.

Sure enough, not long after James played, he used the fast break method of the Knicks in the previous quarter to fight back severely.

JR Smith completed the steal, and he and James immediately went down. JR Smith was already 31 years old, and his advancing speed was not too fast, and he did not get rid of Xie Chen's defense. Xie Chen was confident that as long as JR dared to layup, he would block him, but Xie Chen was worried about James who followed behind.

Derek Williams also followed James non-stop. In the previous analysis, everyone believed that Williams was younger than James and should have an advantage in speed, but after the actual matchup, it was discovered that this was not the case at all. Williams always had a hard time keeping up with James, and his reaction was always a beat slower than James.

This shows James' agility and explosiveness.His physical condition is not lost at all last year.

Near the basket, JR Smith, who was holding the ball, knew that Xie Chen would be able to block his own ball. He didn't even think about laying up. He jumped up and threw it back high, giving James an alley-oop.

JR Smith took off, and Xie Chen had no choice but to follow suit. Although he knew that JR wanted to pass to James behind him, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Williams behind could prevent James from scoring the goal.

In fact, JR Smith didn't pass the ball well, because Xie Chen's defense was too threatening, and the ball passed by JR Smith made James feel very uncomfortable.

However, the difficult pass made it more difficult for Williams to stop James. James reached the ball with one hand and almost jumped to the highest position. However, Williams would definitely not be able to stop James if he was one step late. Williams was very excited throughout the first quarter. affect.

Xie Chen had already landed, turned around to see how James completed the goal, and saw James leaning back in an extremely uncomfortable posture and dunking the ball into the basket!
The scene quickly boiled!This is still a 2+1!

"Lean back and dunk! Only James can do this dunk!"

"JR Smith didn't pass the ball well, but James was able to complete this goal perfectly. He is still at his peak!"

At this time, James himself roared excitedly. While screaming, he lit up the muscles of his right arm and slapped him with his left hand, as if to show off his provocation to Derek Williams.

"James' physical condition is really good." Xie Chen also realized James' competitive state from this ball. Such a difficult alley-oop can be completed beautifully. It is stupid to say that James is old. He is still at the peak and is more difficult to deal with than in the past.

The Knicks' fast-break duo includes Xie Chen and Derek Williams, both of whom can dunk. The Cavaliers' fast-break duo includes James and JR Smith, and their dunks are not inferior to the former.

Speaking of JR Smith's dunk, Xie Chen's teammate Carmelo Anthony should be the most impressive. Anthony and JR Smith were teammates in the Nuggets, and they were still teammates in the New York Knicks. It can be said that Anthony has witnessed JR Smith's career-best dunk.

JR Smith's body is strong, and his personality is fierce. He has an attitude of disobedience, and he dunks with a special flavor. Xie Chen's favorite dunk action of JR Smith is that after jumping, he puts the ball on his waist with both hands, swings it slightly to the right, and then raises his hands to dunk. This action is very chic.

And JR Smith quickly used this dunk action in front of Xie Chen. This time, it was James holding the ball and making a fast break. Williams would definitely not be able to stand up to James alone.

In terms of fast-break scoring ability, the Cavaliers are not afraid of the Knicks. In addition to James and JR Smith, Kyrie Irving can also participate at any time. His speed and various layup abilities are also impossible for the Knicks to defend alone.

Under the joint performance of James and JR Smith, the Cavaliers quickly chased the score to only 5 points.

This only five-point advantage seems insignificant in the eyes of Cavaliers fans and Knicks fans. With the strong strength of the Cavaliers, chasing these five points is a matter of minutes, and everyone feels that chasing from 15 points behind to 5 points is what should happen.

But Xie Chen didn't think so.

"Why do we have to be behind? Why can't we lead by double digits? No, I want to continue to bring the point difference back to more than 10 points!" After being chased by James, Xie Chen was very uncomfortable.

The stubborn Xie Chen wanted to use a three-pointer to quickly increase the score, but was unlucky. This time the three-pointer was not shot, and the Cavaliers protected the defensive rebound very well. Lopez or Anthony had little hope of grabbing it.

According to the rules of these two quarters, as long as one side fails to score and the other side gets the rebound, the side that gets the ball must advance at the fastest speed.

When James received the ball, he rushed forward with all his strength as soon as he received the ball, as if he had become a bigger Westbrook.

Xie Chen couldn't let James rush forward so unscrupulously. James was fast together. When he dribbled the ball for the first time, Xie Chen boldly stepped forward and used Chris Paul's stealing skills to stop James' dribble with a very low center of gravity!
"Oops!" James had rushed over, but found that the ball was broken by Xie Chen!

Speaking of it, James was still too anxious to play the fast break. He didn't pay attention to the defensive situation in front of him at all, and just wanted to dribble the ball to the frontcourt as soon as possible.

Cavaliers center Mozgov wanted to run forward, but when he saw the ball was cut off by Xie Chen, he quickly backed up and stood firmly on the basket. With this step back, Xie Chen made him have no chance to move again.

I saw that after Xie Chen broke James' ball, he kept walking, went straight to the basket, and flew up!

boom!
Xie Chen rode on Mozgov's body and dunked with both hands!
"Hands! God, hands!"

The auditorium was full of shocked expressions, Kate Upton was so shocked that she couldn't even scream.

A violent face button was rewarded to Mozgov.

The Knicks bench was full of celebrations, and the veterans Metta Shiping and Lamar Odom also made funny expressions.

Xie Chen and Mozgov fought too many times last year. In the seven-game series against the Cavaliers, Mozgov was there in every game. However, at that time, Xie Chen only had the dunk ability of Zach LaVine, not Vince Carter.

Mozgov's state this season is actually not as good as last season. His knee was injured. He just had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee earlier, and he has not recovered to his best state.

After the ball, James took the initiative to pat Mozgov and took the responsibility: "This ball is my fault."

James was very angry, broke his ball, and then bullied his teammate with an injured knee. James had to pay back what Xie Chen did.

The next time the Knicks missed a shot, or they didn't know that the shot was missed, James had already started running. After Love grabbed the rebound, he heard James' call immediately, and another long pass was passed to James. James was running at a high speed, and Xie Chen couldn't keep up. After that, James abused the basket again.

The commentator was saying at this time: "Everyone has been running since the beginning, they really don't care about physical exertion!"
