Super all-around point guard

Chapter 74 A Difficult Showdown

"Well done, Xie Chen!" Hassan raised his arms and shouted, Wade also had a shocked expression, the scene was full of cheers, maybe among the Heat players, Chris Bosh was the most reluctant to applaud.

Originally, the team selected an excellent rookie, which is a joyful thing, but Xie Chen's excellence has exceeded everyone's expectations. His strength and performance have even surpassed Bosh, the leader of the team. Xie Chen will soon surpass Bosh on the MVP list and become the biggest contributor to the Heat's winning streak.Also TM is a rookie!So Bosh is absolutely hostile to Xie Chen, just like O'Neal was to Kobe back then.

After landing, Westbrook couldn't help but be amazed, secretly lamenting that this kid's stagnation in the air is at the same level as his own, and it is not easy to perform such difficult moves in the air. The current scoring champion is indeed not in vain.

The stronger the opponent, the more it can stimulate Westbrook, and Westbrook also played harder, once again showing the demeanor of the league's fastest first step, passing Xie Chen in one step, and another dunk!
"Westbrook is too strong and brutal!" Dunking will undoubtedly make people feel unclear, and it will also increase outsiders' evaluation of the player's strength. Xie Chen lays up every time. Although he also scores, he is inferior to the opponent in terms of momentum.

This time, Xie Chen wanted to break through again, but Westbrook seized the opportunity and rushed over to steal the ball!Xie Chen put all his defensive focus on the basket, and finally gave him no chance to perform dunks. Westbrook didn't force it, and succeeded in the mid-range shot.

In this way, the two sides came and went, Westbrook's offense was almost as smooth as walking on the ground, without a single miss, Xie Chen could not stop even with the opponent's defensive skills, while Xie Chen's attack was intercepted by the opponent once, and Westbrook blocked a layup and missed a layup, but a three-pointer counted as two points.

The heads-up ended and the game ended in a tie. Westbrook was unwilling. If it wasn't for Xie Chen's three-pointer that counted as two points, Xie Chen would definitely lose. Durant was also a little upset. Judging from the performance just now, it is obvious that Westbrook played better.

Westbrook felt that the game was not enjoyable, so he decided to continue to challenge Xie Chen: "Let's play another game, thank you."

At this time, Wade stepped forward and said, "Russell, I don't think you need to fight any more. You have already displayed your strongest strength in the matchup just now. If you continue to fight, someone may be injured. This is an important stage of the regular season. Everything should be based on the overall situation, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, Heat player Bosh interrupted: "You worry too much, Dwyane, how could the two of them get hurt just playing casually? I also suggest that you play another game. Russell is currently one of the best point guards in the league. He and Xie are both offensive point guards. As a senior, he will let Xie learn a lot. For him, it is a good thing."

What Bosh said was high-sounding, but perhaps only a few people could understand the meaning of the conspiracy. Bosh hoped that Xie Chen would lose to Westbrook, so that Xie Chen could clearly realize his own shortcomings, so that he would not treat himself as a dish in the future and hand over the ball obediently. On the other hand, Westbrook's strong defense might really hurt Xie Chen.

Xie Chen didn't want to fight Westbrook anymore, because the two are one-on-one, and the offense can barely explode each other. There is really no way to defend, and the probability of losing is very high.But hearing Bosh's words made Xie Chen very upset. The two had a long-standing estrangement in private, and Bosh didn't even look at him when they met alone.

As the team soul of the Heat, Wade is also a little troubled at this time. Of course, he knows that Bosh is jealous of Xie Chen. He thought that the new Big Three could hit the championship again, but now it seems that it is too early to be optimistic.

Xie Chen agreed to play another round with Westbrook. In this round, Xie Chen still had to use Curry's three-point skill from time to time. This was the only offensive method that Xie Chen was stronger than the opponent.

Westbrook, a strength-type and speed-type offensive player, definitely lacks stability and flexibility in three-point shooting, so three-pointers are not good. In addition, Xie Chen is taller than Westbrook, and Westbrook is all breakthroughs, and has never tried a three-pointer.

Dunk, dunk, dunk!

Ladu couldn't hold back, Westbrook stood up like a mad cow, but Westbrook also obviously felt that Xie Chen's footsteps were moving faster and faster, and his strength confrontation increased a little when defending, and this was the effect of the improved skill fusion.

But Xie Chen is not a vegetarian with so many skills. The first time he shoots a three-pointer, the next time he plays a fadeaway jumper, and the next time he changes to a breakthrough layup. The various offensive methods made Westbrook hard to guard against. After the second game, the two fought again.

Although the two games ended in a tie, the onlookers already felt that Westbrook was better. Xie Chen just felt good and had a high shooting rate.

"Russell is too strong. He scored all 20 goals, and Xie couldn't defend him even once! And 20 of these 17 goals were dunks! It's so brutal!" Danny Granger was amazed.

Bosh shook his head at this moment, and said to Coach Spoel: "Coach, I think it's time to arrange someone to teach Xie's defense. He didn't defend any of the 20 balls. Now that we're in the playoffs and even the finals, won't we be holding back? If we really will meet the Thunder in the finals, what will we do to win the championship?"

Coach Spoelstra was very embarrassed after hearing this, and the atmosphere at the scene became dignified. This was the first time Bosh expressed his dissatisfaction with Xie Chen in public. After hearing this, Wade quickly spoke well of Xie Chen: "Bosh, with Russell's personal strength, few people can guard against him. You are too demanding on Xie Chen."

Westbrook and Durant glanced at each other and exchanged a happy expression. The Heat, who had won [-] consecutive victories, actually had internal strife?Westbrook took the opportunity to challenge again: "Thank you, let's have another round!"

Xie Chen's current strength is indeed inferior to Westbrook's. The tie in the two games just now is entirely due to the three-pointer. He has not missed a three-pointer in the previous two rounds. If he continues to play, with Curry's 44% shooting rate, he will definitely miss the shot and lose to the opponent at that time, so Xie Chen rejected Xie Chen this time.

Seeing Xie Chen's refusal, Bosh couldn't help but say sarcastic remarks: "Let's fight again, thank you, the Thunder's second young master came to challenge our Heat, how embarrassing it would be if word spread if he didn't dare to accept the challenge?"

Xie Chen had been subjected to Bosh's sarcasm from time to time, and couldn't bear it anymore, and shot back: "Since you are afraid that our Heat will lose face, then you come over and fight with him, aren't you the boss of Heat?"

This sentence made Bosh speechless, his face flushed.

Westbrook is a man who knows how to advance and retreat. He has already played two rounds, which is very good for him. Naturally, he dare not be too presumptuous in other people's arenas, or he will annoy Wade. Wade will defend the honor of the Heat even if he ignores his body.

Westbrook thought for a moment, and sincerely asked: "Can we each play another ball? Just one."

Seeing that this guy still didn't give up, Xie Chen agreed, "Okay!"

After explaining the last goal, everyone shut up obediently and concentrated on watching how the two of them should put on a big show.

It was still Westbrook who attacked first, and Xie Chen couldn't defend against the breakthrough, so he let the opponent outside.

Westbrook smiled and said, "You really think I can't shoot threes?"

Xie Chen replied: "Of course I know you can shoot three-pointers. I've seen you shoot the gun after the three-pointer. To be honest, it's not very cool."

"Hehe, you're talking about the game where I beat the Knicks? That wasn't my most handsome three-pointer. Man, it was about this time last year. I used a back-turned three-pointer to kill Stephen Curry's Warriors, leaving only 0.1 seconds for the opponent. It was in overtime. You don't know how difficult it is to shoot, and you don't know how happy it will be after scoring this kind of ball."

"Oh, turn around and kill the Warriors? I know, it's at that position." Xie Chen smiled and pointed to the left corner.

At this time, Westbrook suddenly launched an attack. He really didn't shoot a three-pointer. With Westbrook's character, how can he be called "kicking the court" if he doesn't dunk?Xie Chen retreated quickly, but it was a pity that Westbrook rushed over. Xie Chen hit Westbrook's arm in the air, but still failed to stop the opponent from dunking.

After the dunk, Westbrook roared excitedly, and Durant rushed to the court to bump into his shoulders to congratulate him. He was extremely arrogant for a while!
"Damn it, did anyone tell them that this is the Miami Heat's territory! How dare you be so arrogant, thank you, you must fight back!" Birdman Chris Anderson looked very upset and cheered Xie Chen.

The ball was passed to Xie Chen!
For the last ball, Westbrook calmed down his excitement and focused on defense. He was thinking about what offensive method Xie Chen would use for this ball. He must not be allowed to shoot a three-pointer, because a three-pointer counts as two points. In this way, Westbrook will lose.

And Xie Chen didn't think it through yet. Seeing Westbrook's eyes full of hunger and thirst for victory, Xie Chen suddenly had an idea and thought of a good attack plan.

"It's my means to become famous in the NBA, and dealing with Westbrook is certainly no exception. And this time, I'm not going to use his ability, but to beat him with the moves he has done. Since he values ​​​​his turning around and lore the Warriors goal so much, then I will copy that goal!"

Xie Chen already has a plan at this time, which is to defeat Westbrook with a three-point shot after turning around, but it is still difficult to implement this goal, because Westbrook will definitely defend himself more closely, and it is unrealistic to take an easy shot.

"How can we avoid his defensive interference?" Xie Chen thought for a while, and suddenly his spirit level moved: "Can you use Kobe's jumper jumper skill first, and then switch to Curry's three-point shooting skill when shooting the ball? Use the two skills together?"

Having an epiphany at the critical moment, Xie Chen blamed himself for not thinking of it before!

"Hey, buddy, why don't you attack? If you admit defeat now, I can leave immediately." Westbrook urged arrogantly.

Xie Chen snorted coldly: "Don't worry, Russell, when you leave, I will let you take something with you, but that thing is by no means a victory, but a failure!"

Xie Chen's figure was like lightning, and he broke through instantly!
