Super all-around point guard

Chapter 573 Overtime!

It would not be a trivial matter with James's weight, not to mention that James planned to retaliate against the referee this time. He couldn't quarrel with the referee. He would only get another foul. He could only use this method. James' acting skills are top-notch, which is unexpected.

In the past, only referees could get players off the court, but James got rid of referees as a player today.James has always disdain to do such a thing. He also attaches too much importance to the outcome of this game, and his emotional approach is no longer the same as before.

Now there has been an uproar on the Internet, and everyone feels that James at this moment is scary and strange.

"Didn't Xie always like to play these tricks? I will too!" James seemed to be a little influenced by Xie Chen, and now he would compare Xie Chen with him in everything.

In fact, James has always envied Xie Chen. Since Xie Chen entered the league, Xie Chen's style of play is different from others. Xie Chen plays how he wants to play, and others don't understand or like it at first.

Su Qun has commented on NBA games for so many years. He has watched James play since the day James entered the NBA. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help exclaiming: "This is the first time I have seen such a cold James. I think the consequences of this loss have affected his emotions. James can lose to Xie Chen once, but he cannot lose to Xie Chen twice. Moreover, Xie Chen's team lineup is obviously not strong this year. Last year, Wade and Da Bai were able to help Xie Chen. If he loses this year, he will really lose to Xie Chen alone. As time goes by, James will only lose to Xie Chen. Chen, so I think it is understandable that James is irritable and even extreme. After all, he is also an ambitious player. He wants to win more championships and be on an equal footing with Michael Jordan."

James is great, but the fly in the ointment is that he has entered the finals many times, but has won too few championships. If James can't seize the opportunity in the past two years, he will not be an absolute leader if he wants to win the championship after his peak period is over.

Tonight, Xie Chen encountered a full force Zhan!
There are not only full-strength Zhan, but also full-strength Irving and Love. These two giants are really awesome. Irving scored many difficult goals, and Love has been firing from a long distance, which is a great threat to the Knicks.

After Owen's not tall body sprinted to the basket and made a layup, he first glanced at his teammate James. He wanted to see James cheering for him, but no, James still looked serious.

"I'd rather he yell at me a few times." With the team boss like this, Irving was not at ease. He could only work harder to get James back to normal as soon as possible.

James didn't yell at his teammates like before in this game, and he no longer competed with Tyronn Lue for the coach's job during the timeout. He just sat quietly on the stool and listened to you, whatever you said, whatever you did, as if disheartened.

The championship is everyone's championship, and James is not the only one who wins the honor. This is a good thing for everyone. James doesn't understand why he has to force them to do such a thing, so they are willing to do it desperately.

However, James' abnormality allowed the Cavaliers to lead the score all the way, and everyone played amazingly.

During the timeout, Knicks coach Fisher was a little annoyed, because the team's ace Xie Chen had already scored more than 50 points, and the others played well, but the team was still behind the Cavaliers!
Fisher said: "I believe everyone can see that the opponent is not the same as usual today. LeBron James' eyes have not changed since the beginning of the game. They want to win, far more than we want to win, because they have no way out. I hope everyone thinks of us as them. There is no way out, only to win this game!"

The game soon had only the last 2 minutes left, the score was 95:91, and the Cavaliers led by four points.

Ke Fan said: "There are only two minutes left, the Knicks have to catch up quickly, and they have to narrow the gap to only one goal, otherwise, if it is still like this in the last minute, I am afraid that this victory will be taken away by James."

Although the score was still ahead at the last moment, James' demeanor did not show how relaxed it was at all.

Su Qun looked worried: "It's not easy. Xie Chen played for a long time today, and now he has scored 55 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. He played very hard throughout the game and fought a lot with his opponents. I don't know if there is any problem with his physical fitness."

At the beginning of the game, seeing Xie Chen playing so crazy, everyone guessed that Xie Chen would be exhausted in the end, but until now, it seems that Xie Chen has no signs of this.

"He doesn't look tired at all." James took a peek at Xie Chen and found that he was in better condition than himself. However, Xie Chen was always tired from time to time. James didn't think that after scoring so many points and doing so many things, Xie Chen's physical strength would be less exhausted than the previous game.

In fact, Xie Chen's physical strength was indeed less than the previous one.

"There should be problems with his physical fitness and mental concentration." Kyrie Irving also paid attention to Xie Chen's expression all the time. Although nothing could be seen from the facial expression, based on the experience of the previous game, Irving judged that Xie Chen was tired in advance.

In the last game, Owen blocked Xie Chen's ball at the last moment. This time, Owen wants to do it again.

Owen still defended Xie Chen and let Xie Chen break through. Once he breaks through, teammates will come to help defend. At that time, when Owen took advantage of the chaos to attack, Xie Chen made a breakthrough. JR Smith immediately blocked Xie Chen's path.

"Opportunity!" Kyrie Irving saw Xie Chen stop for a moment, thinking that Xie Chen's mental attention would not be on the ball at this time, so he rushed over to grab the ball.

At this time, Xie Chen was in a completely different state from Xie Chen in the second half of the fourth quarter of the previous game. At the last moment of the last game, Xie Chen had played two consecutive games.

But today is different. No matter how hard Xie Chen fights, he will only fight one game. Time is waiting for him. Xie Chen is in good condition.

"You want to steal my ball again?" Xie Chen dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand, and Owen immediately missed it.

After getting rid of Irving, Xie Chen took advantage of this opportunity to quickly make a breakthrough to the right, and then made an emergency stop. JR Smith was tricked. Xie Chen directly stepped back and made a jumper. With basically no interference, he steadily hit two points.

93:95, the Knicks are still two points behind.

The fans who saw hope cheered collectively!
Irving let Xie Chen make such a crucial goal so easily, regretted it so much, and quickly said to James beside him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this ball is my fault."

James could see that Irving wanted to steal Xie Chen, and it was indeed a very suitable time to steal. If the steal was successful, James on their left would immediately speed up. When Irving made a pass, James would easily score two points. At that time, the Cavaliers would lead by 6 points. In less than 2 minutes, the Cavaliers would lead by 6 points, and the chance of winning by 80.00 points would already be above [-]%.

Unfortunately, the plan was unsuccessful. Not only did it not expand to 6 points, but it was reduced to only 2 points. The probability of winning may have dropped to 50.00%.

James patted Owen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, keep going."

It was rare for James to say a word of encouragement to Owen today, and Owen was inexplicably moved when he heard it...

Irving was really encouraged. He made a beautiful change of direction with the ball, passed the defense, and went straight to the basket. Irving's layup ability was still weak.

At 93:97, the Knicks trailed by another four points.

"This guy..." Xie Chen looked back at James, who made a tip-up goal. He was also under a lot of pressure from James in this game. Xie Chen only cared about defending Irving and didn't pay attention to James behind him.

There are only the last 2 minutes left. Whether to return to Cleveland or directly advance to the finals depends on Xie Chen's next performance.

In this attack, Xie Chen and his teammates cooperated very tacitly. They completely guided the opponent's defense. In the end, the ball was passed from the top of the arc by Anthony to Xie Chen at the basket.

Because the distance to the basket was too close, and the defender under the basket was taken away. Without a defender, Xie Chen could make it with a light throw, so Xie Chen didn't use his system ability.

Seeing Xie Chen's struggling expression when he walked to the free throw, Anthony asked with concern: "Thank you, are you okay?"

Xie Chen swung his arms and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Xie Chen couldn't let his teammates worry about him at this time.

The fans, including the commentator, also felt that Xie Chen should be fine. Ke Fan said: "James' action should have no effect on Xie Chen. I think Xie Chen's biggest problem is physical fitness. He missed both free throws at this time in the last game. I don't know how his free throws are today."

Su Qun also said: "These two free throws are very important. There is not much time left. The Knicks must score every time they attack to have a chance to win. If they don't score once, it will be dangerous."

Xie Chen knew the importance of these two free throws. Physical strength was not a problem for him at all. He stretched his arm, temporarily enduring James' injury to him, and made the first free throw.

"It seems that Xie Chen is in good condition."

Xie Chen continued to hit the second free throw.

"Damn it!" James cursed secretly.

At 95:97, Xie Chen once again chased the score to only two points.

James felt that Xie Chen was pushing himself towards the cliff step by step, forcing him to jump off the cliff!

"Okay, keep going!" James was full of fighting spirit, but the Knicks successfully defended the ball.

Then, Xie Chen assisted Anthony to score the equalizer!
Seeing Anthony hit the goal to tie the score, James was about to collapse. He was in the leading position. James had been cautious and played every offense and defense as always, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being tied!
After that, neither side scored any more goals, and both sides entered overtime!
Before the start of overtime, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said to everyone: "We must have confidence. Overtime is beneficial to us. The longer we play, the greater the physical threat to Xie. He can't keep scoring goals like this. We must protect every rebound. Next, rebounds are the key to winning!"

The players and coaches of the Cavaliers all believed that Xie Chen, who had scored almost 60 points like crazy, would soon turn from miraculous to mediocre. The more aggressive Xie Chen played in front, the greater the physical damage to his back. Overtime was the opportunity for the Cavaliers to defeat Xie Chen. As long as no one stood up except Xie Chen, the Cavaliers would win.

This group of Cavaliers, especially the Big Three, are still in good physical condition. At the beginning of overtime, James took the lead and led the score.

"It's overtime, thank you, you have the ability to continue playing like just now!" James really wanted to step forward and challenge Xie Chen at this moment.

In fact, there is no need for James to provoke, because Xie Chen planned to do so.

A Westbrook pull-up jumper, Xie Chen also hit two points.

Tyronn Lue secretly said: "This is only the first overtime game, and the overtime game has just begun. It is understandable that he is in a good state, but I don't believe he can continue to play like this!"

Irving next hit two points, Xie Chenrao covered the ball and leaned back and made another hit.

101 flats!
"Again!" Tylen Lue was surprised.

Ke Fan also swallowed his saliva in shock: "Xie Chen is still in such a good state in overtime! Is he going to 70 points tonight..."

Su Qun, who had always been worried about Xie Chen's physical fitness, didn't speak. He always felt that Xie Chen was trying to hold on. He said: "It may be that if you win this game, you can advance to the finals. This kind of excitement made Xie Chen temporarily forget the consumption of physical energy. I think Xie Chen can last through this overtime with this excitement. He had better be able to solve his opponent in this overtime. Otherwise, if there is another overtime, Xie Chen may not be able to hold on."

Xie Chen also really wanted to end the game in this overtime, but unfortunately the Big Three of the Cavaliers became stronger in overtime. None of them suffered from physical problems. In the end, the two sides tied again, and the game entered the second overtime!
