Super all-around point guard

Chapter 612 The Warriors Are About to Collapse!
Warriors locker room.

The locker room was surprisingly quiet. Everyone sat and listened to coach Steve Kerr talking alone. Curry occasionally stuffed the popcorn in the cabinet into his mouth and chewed softly. Thompson kneaded his face with the same expression for thousands of years. Green was silent like a beast that could erupt at any time, with both eyes shining.

Tonight was the most exciting time in Cole's coaching career. He was once again so close to the championship trophy. He was robbed by Xie Chen last time. This time he finally made it to the tiebreaker. He didn't want to be robbed by Xie Chen again!
Cole looked at everyone and said: "At the beginning of the season, I couldn't coach due to physical reasons. Frankly speaking, I was worried at that time, but Luke led everyone to a perfect start. At that time, I expected that this season would be an extraordinary one for me and you. To a team that lost 73 games in the regular season!"

Speaking of this, Cole became very emotional. If he lost to the Cavaliers, Spurs or even the Thunder, Cole would not be so angry. The Knicks' record is really too bad. Cole couldn't accept losing to a team with such a poor record. Ironically, they are the team with the first record or the first in history.
Klay Thompson raised his head and said, "Coach, don't worry, I will watch Xie to death, and he will never have a chance to explode in the second half."

Luke Walton reminded: "Klay, be careful of your foul count, and also, be careful of his behind-the-scenes shots."

Thompson nodded. Wharton's reminder was in place. If Thompson restricted Xie Chen from making any shots, maybe Xie Chen would use the strange trick of shooting from behind again.

"I hope he has no other moves to use." Klay Thompson prayed secretly in his heart.

The Knicks’ locker room is not as serious as the Warriors’ locker room. In other words, they are all pretending to be serious. In fact, they can’t help but feel happy. Some people even think about how to celebrate after winning. Of course, even if they don’t win the championship, for most people, this ending is quite perfect. After all, they shouldn’t even make it to the playoffs.

Ci Shiping has been suppressing his excitement. Ray Allen seems to be calm, but in fact he is thinking about many things, such as whether he will win the championship in the future, and he will definitely retire without any suspense. But if he does not win the championship, where should he choose to go and what to do in the next few days?
Phil Jackson was also in the locker room. He was sitting on the bench with his long legs stretched out straight, showing a fascinated smile, and eating the popcorn that Curry gave Xie Chen. He didn't seem to worry about the result at all.

An eight-point lead at halftime was enough to reassure the Knicks.

At this time, Xie Chen was thinking that he would attack quickly at the beginning of the second half, without giving the Warriors a chance to catch up, and immediately widen the point difference to double digits.

Phil Jackson looked at Xie Chen with a smile all the time, and he could probably guess what Xie Chen was thinking. Xie Chen took a sip of water and inadvertently saw Zen Master looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he had been seen through.

Zen master said: "Is there anything you want to tell us, Mr. FMVP."

Xie Chen smiled awkwardly. It is not appropriate to call FMVP so early on. Zen Master is too optimistic. Xie Chen said: "In the first half, almost all of them were dunks. I missed a three-pointer. Now my hands are a little itchy and I want to shoot a three-pointer. But Klay Thompson is sticking to me very tightly. Is there any way to help me get rid of him?"

Coach Fisher immediately fell into thinking, and his brain was running fast to see if he could find a three-point tactic suitable for Xie Chen, but generally Fisher knew it, and Xie Chen knew it too. If Xie Chen was confident, he would directly mention it to Fisher and would not ask.

With the Warriors' current defense against Xie Chen, whether it is Xie Chen's pick-and-roll with the ball or Xie Chen's running without the ball, it is difficult to get a shot.

Zen master stuffed another popcorn into his mouth, then stood up, looking very tall in front of Fisher, Zen master took the tactics board from Fisher, said with a smile, "Why don't you let me formulate a strategy for you?"

The whole team was excited when they heard that the greatest coach, Master Zen, was going to formulate tactics himself!For a long time, he has handed over the coaching to Fisher and the others. He himself has long stopped doing this in person, and today is a rare exception.

Metta Shiping patted Fisher on the shoulder, jokingly said: "Old man, if you lose your job, Phil will come out again!"

Fisher's job was already in shambles, and he looked embarrassed when he heard the joke. The Zen master said, "Don't talk nonsense, Ron, my brain has long been out of order, and this is not a serious tactic, but considering that we are not very serious, it may be very suitable."

oh?The unscrupulous tactics of the Zen master?Xie Chen also stood up, becoming more and more curious.

Zen master held the tactical board and said: "Kole, this guy is very good at doing things. Thank you. Tonight, he is going to guard against your three-pointers. There will always be someone guarding you in front of you, no matter what the situation. If you want Klay or others to relax your defense, there is only one way. Let others get open opportunities to shoot."

Speaking of this, everyone was a little confused, but Xie Chen understood a little bit. Zen master didn't let the player who got an open shot shoot, but let him pretend to shoot to attract Klay Thompson's attention and reduce Xie Chen's marking. Only then will Xie Chen have a chance to get rid of his opponent.

No wonder the unscrupulous tactics prepared for Xie Chen really fit Xie Chen's unscrupulous style.

Zen Master draws on the tactical board: "At the top of the key, thank you, you move the ball to the right, Lopez comes up to set a screen, but it's not a real screen, it's a false screen, and then thank you for passing the ball to Lopez, so that the two people on the line are all taken by you. This area will be empty. Lopez, you take the ball to the basket to attract the defense again, and then pass the ball to Derek Williams on the left. Williams is a big open. Williams, you just need to stop a little Pause and pretend to aim at the frame, and everyone will focus on you. You only need to jump up and pretend to shoot, and then pass to Xie who can get rid of Klay and run towards you at any time. This is not a good way. Under Cole’s strategy of defending Xie, there will be no good way. My bet is that Klay’s slack for a few tenths of a second when Williams jumped up and shot. Xie, it may have to cooperate with your acting skills.”

Xie Chen smiled. He liked this less serious tactic very much, but he still looked at Derek Williams and said, "Derrick has already had an open shot, and if he takes the risk of passing it to me, it's a bit..."

Derek Williams quickly said: "Boss, you know my three-point ability. I missed several open three-pointers in the first half, and I still feel guilty now. Even if you throw it in the half court, you can throw it more accurately than me. We believe in you."

Xie Chen really needed a three-pointer to hit his opponent, so he agreed: "Well, I will use it once anyway, and I will give the Warriors the most painful blow at the most suitable time!"

The second half of the game started quickly. As most people expected, both sides regarded the period at the beginning of the third quarter as very important. Both the Warriors and the Knicks wanted to score first, the Warriors wanted to recover the point difference, and the Knicks wanted to expand to double digits.

In the end, the Warriors scored two points first, reducing the point difference to 6 points.

On the Knicks' side, Anthony hit the ball first, but it failed. Fortunately, the Knicks grabbed an offensive rebound and quickly passed it to Xie Chen. Xie Chen took advantage of the double-team and rushed to the inside like lightning. Finally, he made a difficult foul and got two free throws.

Yang Jiandao: "Today even Xie Chen scoring [-] to [-] points in a game has become difficult. On the one hand, it is because of defense. On the other hand, in this situation where winning means winning and losing ends, no one can not be affected."

Zhang Weiping also said: "Yes, Xie Chen's three-pointers are the Warriors' most scruples. As long as Xie Chen doesn't make consecutive three-pointers, the Knicks will never open the score, and the Warriors will always be in a safe range. Xie Chen's fadeaway jumper is also very difficult, but basically there is no chance to use it today. He was double-teamed as soon as he dribbled."

Both of Xie Chen's SS skills were blocked by Cole. He could only rely on another SS skill, Vince Carter's dunk ability, but this dunk could never dominate the game.

Xie Chen made two free throws and the score returned to 8 points.

Curry is still in that indifferent state. No matter how important the game is or how critical it is, his catching and dribbling seems very casual. He is so casual that he will go out of bounds at any time because the ball hits his legs or feet. Xie Chen knows that Curry grew up on the court. His ability kept him from getting confused, and he didn't choose to pass the ball, so he escaped the pursuit, but he had already wasted a lot of offensive time in order to deal with Xie Chen.

As a result, the Warriors did not succeed in this attack!

"This is my chance to expand the score to double digits!" As soon as Lopez grabbed the rebound and handed it to Xie Chen, Xie Chen realized that the next ball might become a turning point in the game!
Xie Chen wants to use Zen master's unscrupulous tactics to shoot a three-pointer that no one would have thought of. Once the shot is made and the point difference is opened to 11 points, the Warriors' confidence will be greatly frustrated. Maybe the Knicks will always lead this advantage until the last moment of the game!
Xie Chen dribbled the ball slowly, and stretched his fingers after halftime. Everyone knew that Xie Chen was going to implement the tactics arranged by the Zen master.

Seeing Xie Chen's gesture, Ci Shiping on the bench immediately stood up, and even photographed Calderon and others.

"What's wrong?" Calderon and others were puzzled.

Ci Shiping said: "Get up and prepare to celebrate for Xie. After a while, he made a three-pointer, and we will compare James Harden's gesture together."

"..." Even Fisher was embarrassed when he heard it. Keep a low profile and save your character. It would be a pity if Xie Chen missed the shot and wasted an open shot from Williams.

In fact, if it was arranged by Fisher, he would not choose to let Xie Chen shoot the three-pointer.

Lopez stepped forward to cover for Xie Chen. Xie Chen held the ball and moved to the right. The Warriors naturally thought that Xie Chen wanted to use the screen to get a chance, so they gave Xie Chen the most important defense.

Derrick Williams once again got an open shot from the [-]-point line.

Since Williams missed several three-pointers before, and this time Williams got another shot, the first thought of everyone in the Warriors was: grab a rebound!
At this time, Xie Chen took a step back, straight back.It seemed like giving up this attack and pretending to go back to defense.

Klay Thompson's hand was always on Xie Chen's body. He felt Xie Chen walking back, but he didn't feel anything, because Derek Williams had already taken off, and Xie Chen's running to the basket was a threat to Thompson. If he went back, it should be fine.

However, in the next second, Thompson found that Xie Chen behind him was gone!
"What?" Thompson was negligent for a moment, and Xie Chen ran towards Williams on the left!Thompson didn't understand, Williams had already taken off.

At this time, Williams distributed the ball with a tacit understanding.

"Williams made a three-pointer... Huh? Passed?" The commentator Yang Jian was startled.

Xie Chen rushed over quickly, took the ball, and while no one was defending, he immediately shot a super long three-pointer, and the basketball was accurately hit!

11 points!The Knicks lead the Warriors by 11 points!
The Warriors immediately called a timeout, the Knicks were on the bench, and everyone was celebrating for Xie Chen.

"This nima's biography is too weird. Williams jumped up. Why did you see Xie Chen running over?"

"The Warriors are about to collapse. Let us congratulate the New York Knicks for winning the championship in advance. Although Xie Chen didn't score many points tonight, even if he only scored these points, with his perfect performance in the previous six games, he will be the undisputed FMVP."

All the pressure came to the Warriors. Cole has never been so difficult. The 11-point difference is as overwhelming as 30 points!
Is this the end of the Warriors? !

　Today is my birthday, please bless...
