Super all-around point guard

Chapter 565 Gentleman Thunder Explodes!
The impact Xie Chen brought to people was huge, especially after Kobe officially withdrew from the league, Xie Chen became that spiritual symbol.

The NBA wrote in the farewell to Kobe Bryant: "Thank you for your persistence. Even though your body screamed 'no', your mind and heart kept saying 'yes'."

Xie Chen has the same persistence as Kobe, and has the same desire for victory. Many people think that there will be no second Kobe in the NBA, but from this point of view, Xie Chen is undoubtedly the person who is most like Kobe in the league today.

In fact, Kobe is watching this game now. In his office, after officially retiring, many people don’t know that Kobe is still doing regular basketball training every morning. Yes, even if he stops playing, he still insists on doing it.

In his career kingdom, Kobe is still working very hard. He comes to work at his KOBE.INC at 08:30 every day. Today, he has a lot of work to do, so he has not returned until now. It just so happens that it is game time, and his big boss also put down his things to watch the game.

"It's exactly the same as I was back then!" Kobe sat casually on the chair, looked at Xie Chen and smiled gratifiedly.

For Kobe, he still hopes that Xie Chen can beat James, because Xie Chen has achieved such an amazing achievement in the second year, and it is inevitable that he will be higher than Kobe in the future historical ranking. However, if Xie Chen can prevent James from winning the championship every year from now on, then James will definitely have fewer championships than Kobe. MVP Kobe has already lost to James.

At the scene, a left-handed dunk made everyone amazed. They didn't know Xie Chen. He did it when he was in the Heat, and it was still his conventional weapon.

In the playoffs last year, Xie Chen's "left-handed kung fu" made people shine, and now it's time to reappear in the league!

Due to the lack of Tristan Thompson, a rebounding madman, the Cavaliers lost a lot of opportunities for offensive rebounds, and once the Knicks get a defensive rebound, the Knicks will become as fast as before.

Before, everyone thought that the speed of the Knicks would slow down in this game, because Xie Chen didn't control the ball, and the speed of the others was a bit behind Xie Chen, and Xie Chen's finishing ability was not as good as before. In the past, Xie Chen made a fast break, and there were two people defending under the basket.

Williams received the pass from the basket at the half court and quickly rushed to the frontcourt. Fast break is his best scoring method, and he can't miss this opportunity.

And James quickly caught up, following Williams tightly, never giving him an easy chance to score.

Xie Chen also quickly chased after them, right behind the two of them.

Derek Williams was fast and quickly rushed to the basket, but he was still very afraid of James' defense, and he noticed that his teammate Xie Chen had followed behind him. Even though Xie Chen was injured, he still chose to hand the ball to Xie Chen instead of forcing it himself.

James noticed that Williams' speed did not increase but decreased when he was approaching the basket. He immediately realized that Williams was not attacking the ball himself. Sure enough, Williams made a pass from behind and threw the ball to the people who came behind him. After passing the ball himself, he dodged to the side.

James quickly looked back, and it really was Xie Chen!
Xie Chen stepped forward, grabbed the basketball in an instant, flew up, and James quickly jumped on the spot, reaching out to block Xie Chen!

Due to the intense physical contact between the two teams in the previous game and the beating incident, Adam Silver was extremely dissatisfied and warned both teams. The NBA has a great influence overseas, especially this is the scene of the Eastern Conference finals. The attention is very high. Fighting incidents must not happen on such a stage, which is not conducive to the future development of the NBA.

So another big showdown between James and Xie Chen, this time the two did not have physical contact, James did not take the initiative to touch Xie Chen, and Xie Chen also avoided James in the air.

James was on the right side of Xie Chen. When Xie Chen got the ball, he used his left hand. After flying, he still used his left hand. James reached out to touch the basketball in Xie Chen's left hand, but he missed it. Xie Chen dodged it in the air, and then dunked directly into the frame with his left hand!

"wow!"

The scene was shocked again!
Another left-handed dunk!
Kobe was also excited: "This ball...is like the one that Tracy dunked me back then! It seemed to be Alston who passed the ball to him."

After so long, Kobe still remembers the ball that year. He almost remembers every fight with McGrady. The ball Kobe was referring to was when McGrady was in the Rockets. During a fast break, Alstom, like Williams, rushed to the basket first, and the last one hit the ground and passed to McGrady behind him. McGrady vacated and successfully dunked with his left hand.

"Although Xie's left-handed dunk is not bad, it's still not as good as Tracy's." Kobe admired his old friend, especially McGrady's left and right hands are very good, which made him particularly envious.

Xie Chen's dunk with his left hand was indeed not as good as McGrady's, but the people at the scene didn't care about perfection at all, they were already satisfied enough to scream.

"Haha, Xie beat them with his left hand!"

"The God of the Left Hand has appeared again!"

James showed a helpless expression. Regarding Xie Chen's left-handed ability, he had experienced it as early as last year's playoffs. Many stars have good left-handed ability, including James himself. James is not too surprised by Xie Chen's left-handed ability.

Next, Xie Chen played another McGrady-style move.

He was on the left wing, with the help of a cover, he jumped to the basket all at once, but this time he behaved very softly, unlike before, as long as he passed the defense, he faced the defender under the basket and dunked violently.

This time, he didn't fight the defender head-on, but avoided it.

There are many ways to hide and play. McGrady's one is extremely chic. He dribbles the ball with his left hand, approaches the defender, suddenly switches to his right hand, and then fakes his right hand to pass the ball to his teammate.

Xie Chen's speed was so fast that before the defender had time to react, Xie Chen's ball had already been shot.

Seeing Xie Chen's goal, Kobe laughed again. Not only Kobe, but also Anthony. He also knew that this was a move that McGrady had used, because when McGrady used this move, Anthony stood behind McGrady. The ball was defended by Anthony, so Anthony witnessed it all.

Stephen Curry, who was watching the game, was also amazed: "Xie's skills are really nothing to say. If I don't spend time on shooting every day, my layup skills will definitely be better."

Curry is also humble. Although his layup is not as threatening as his shot, it is already very good.

With Xie Chen's outstanding performance as usual, the Knicks and the Cavaliers are inseparable. This is not the result the Cavaliers hope to see.

During halftime, James started a rare fire in the locker room.

"This game is very important to us. If we can win this game at their home court and turn the series into 3:1, then I can assure you that we are the ones who will enter the finals 100%. Even if Xie can score 3 points in a single game, I guarantee that we will win the game! Last year, Xie came back 0:[-], and this year will never happen again! So we must pursue the victory and win this game while Xie's injury has not fully recovered!"

James' desire for victory this year is stronger than in previous years. Although the Cavaliers are leading the series now, James still regards this game as more important than any other game. If the series becomes 3:1, the Cavaliers only need one victory to end the series. At that time, everyone will try their best to move towards this goal.Everything will fall into place.

James' words still have a certain effect. It may not have much effect on people like JR Smith, but it has a great effect on a powerful and ambitious star like Kyrie Irving.

"LeBron is right. Xie played with an injury today, and the home fans gave him a lot of support. If he is allowed to equalize the series, there will be too many variables in the future. We must win this game!" Owen secretly said.

Even Kobe and Popovich, two outsiders, believe that if the Cavaliers win this game, the probability of the Cavaliers winning the Eastern Conference championship will reach more than 90%.

If they knew that Xie Chen had to face legendary teams every time he played away games, then they wouldn't be so conservative, and they would make up for the remaining [-]%.

This battle is very important!

Kyrie Irving exploded suddenly in the second half. He first juggled and rushed to the basket, then threw a high throw, and staged a dunk dunk with Mozgov. Then, he attacked again and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Ray Allen's defense, he dribbled behind the back twice, with a large range, and then rushed forward, quickly stopped the dribble under his crotch, and took off to shoot.

This ball also made the Cavaliers' bench jubilant.

Irving's dribbling is really good, not to mention the veteran Ray Allen, even the young Xie Chen, it is difficult to guard against Irving.

The Cavaliers quickly extended their lead to 8 points.

How could the Knicks not know the significance of this victory or defeat!However, the Cavaliers already know the Knicks' routines well. It seems that unless the Knicks rely on Xie Chen's performance against the sky, otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the reversal.

And just when some people felt that the Knicks were over, someone stood up.

He is the veteran who was almost knocked down by Irving just now, Ray Allen.

"Xie must stand up and score! If Xie can't recover the point difference at this time, the game will enter the rhythm of the Cavaliers. Once the Cavaliers win this game, I am worried that they will not be able to come back here."

Everyone pinned their hopes on Xie Chen, and the Cavaliers put the greatest defense on Xie Chen.

Xie Chen no longer dribbles by himself, but catches and shoots. Therefore, Xie Chen needs to run and his teammates to cover. It is also very difficult to defend Xie Chen in this way. Fortunately, the Knicks' screens are not too bad, and there is no excessive behavior.

And the kind cover also gave the Cavaliers a chance to defend against Xie Chen, but Xie Chen still relied on his speed to receive the ball one step ahead of JR, and immediately made a fake shot.

Xie Chen swayed JR Smith away with a fake move, and the matter was not over. He still didn't get a chance to shoot because Kyrie Irving came again.

Xie Chen will have more than two defensive players at any time.

Xie Chen didn't make a strong shot, and quickly passed the ball to the open Ray Allen. Ray Allen has always been very calm, even if he was almost knocked down by Irving just now, he is still calm. He knows what he can do and what he can't do. He has also won the highest glory.

When Ray Allen got the ball, Kobe shook his hand unconsciously.

"Must go in." Kobe also prayed for Ray Allen.

In fact, Kobe and Ray Allen are not friends. They haven’t been friends since they met in the 1996 draft. In 96, they flew to Chicago to participate in the training camp and participate in various physical examinations. At that time, Kobe’s physical examination lasted for about 2 minutes.

Kobe had that attitude and self-confidence from the beginning to the end, and Ray Allen was too talkative. The two were destined not to be friends. At that time, many people who had gone to college did not like Kobe. Later, Ray Allen also criticized Kobe for being selfish.

However, both were the golden generation 20 years ago. Kobe and Ray Allen have experienced too much together. Now the stars of the same class, whether it is Iverson or Nash, including Kobe, have left the NBA arena, only Ray Allen is still there.

Gentleman Lei made a cool shot and made a precise hit!

After that, Xie Chen, who had been wandering outside the three-point line, received the ball again, attracted the defensive players again, passed the ball to Ray Allen again, and Ray Allen once again lived up to expectations and made a catch!

No one would have expected that Ray Allen's two three-pointers were just the beginning!
When the Knicks were on the fast break, Ray Allen got a lot of shots because the Cavaliers focused their defense on Xie Chen, Williams and others.

Ray Allen made four consecutive three-pointers in the crucial third quarter!Quickly overtake the score!
