Super all-around point guard

Chapter 81 Dragic
Xie Chen and his "die-hard fan" really hit it off. The two chatted very speculatively. Will didn't leave until early in the morning. As a fan, Will's trip was definitely rewarding. He not only got the opportunity to talk face-to-face with his idol, but also received the gift that Xie Chen originally gave to the superstar Scarlett, and the two even exchanged contact information.

As a professional basketball player, Xie Chen has to do a lot of basketball training every day. He thinks flawlessly in terms of analysis and playing ideas. With the help of such a person who understands himself and is good at helping him analyze problems, it will be even more powerful. At least, with the help of Will, Xie Chen is full of confidence when facing the next opponent, the Suns.

The Heat visited the American Airlines Center of the Phoenix Suns with a [-]-game winning streak that shocked the league. This team has never won a championship. In recent years, it has struggled to even make it to the playoffs. However, the Suns were successful last season. They were only one step away from making the playoffs. The Suns can only be blamed for being born in the cruel West. At present, the Suns have lost two games in a row.

Xie Chen likes the Suns' double point guard lineup. No matter who he is playing against, he has an absolute advantage in height, while the Suns send Dragic to defend him.

Dragic is the main player of the Suns. He averaged 20.3 points, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game last season.

But at this time, Xie Chen has been compared with top point guards like Westbrook and Paul. A small Dragic, Xie Chen will naturally not take it seriously.

The Suns made a mistake in passing the ball. After Luol Deng grabbed the ball, he immediately passed it to Xie Chen on the outside.

"This is bad. With Xie's scoring ability, facing Goran Dragic's defense alone, he will definitely be able to make a fast break."

"Don't talk too early, brother, look, Golan has already caught up with Xie!"

On the sidelines, two Suns fans saw it, pointing to the field and saying that Suns fans are much better than Warriors and Grizzlies fans. At least Xie Chen was not booed when he played, and there was no movement when he made free throws. I feel that the Phoenix fans are very magnanimous, or they are very calm. They don't even think that victory or defeat is that important in their eyes. Maybe it's because they still can't make the playoffs this season.

Dragic is indeed slowly approaching Xie Chen, but this is not because Dragic is fast, but because Xie Chen deliberately slowed down and waited for him to catch up!

With Xie Chen's favorable position just now, he could speed up and go straight to the basket and complete a quick layup, but he didn't do so. When he found that there was only Dragic catching up behind him, Xie Chen thought about how to play the ball.

"It's time to verify Will's analysis."

In Will's analysis, Dragic now wants to shoulder both offense and defense. He is very focused and hard on defense, and the result of excessive concentration is that he will be cheated into a foul.

When Dragic had just caught up with Xie Chen, Xie Chen jumped up and layup with the ball in one hand, but he didn't pick the basket immediately in the air. Instead, he waited for Dragic's arm to hit Xie Chen's arm with a snap.

"Good shot! This action is so cool!" All the players on the Heat's bench stood up.

Xie Chen laughed, and Will was right. Dragic is easy to be deceived. Just as Xie Chen was about to make a free throw, Dragic walked up: "Hey, you did it on purpose, right? You deliberately slowed down and waited for me to come over and make a foul? You nasty boy!"

Xie Chen didn't expect that Dragic's IQ was not bad, and he could see his plot immediately, so he smiled and said: "No one is forcing you to foul, I will slow down, if you are afraid, you don't have to follow."

Dragic was speechless, and was forced to say: "You conspirator, fortunately, I am not your teammate. If you are my partner, I will definitely ask the team to trade me out. Being a teammate with a conspirator like you will also make my psychology darker!"

Xie Chen snorted coldly: "It's as if I really like being your teammate. Don't worry, you don't have the honor to be my partner in the championship team. Our team also has a very good point guard. If you don't mind being the third choice, you can replace Norris Cole. Haha."

"You kid..." Just as Dragic was about to get angry, Xie Chen ignored him, walked to the free throw line, and made a free throw.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chen faced Dragic with various changes of direction outside the three-point line. Dragic was a little anxious to be teased.

3+1!There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

Not long after the first quarter, Dragic suffered two fouls and was temporarily replaced by the coach. The fans at the scene gave Xie Chen a higher evaluation.

"Wow, this No. 0 of the Heat is really too strong, it's like killing Golan! It took him out of the game in the first quarter."

After Dragic left the field, the Suns' offense became even more chaotic, and the Heat's Big Three showed their prowess in this game. In just halftime, Bosh scored 20 points, Wade also had 8 points, and although Xie Chen didn't score much, only 10 points, he had 6 rebounds and 5 assists!
It was the first time for Xie Chen to score six rebounds in halftime. Speaking of this statistic, it was a coincidence. Every time Xie Chen stood in the position where the basketball bounced, so he scored six rebounds in the first half and added five assists. Xie Chen's goal today was not just scoring. He was thinking about trying to create a triple-double?
Therefore, Xie Chen started to make more assists in the second half.

In the half-court offense, Xie Chen ran over Dragic's defense forcefully. Dragic was called a blocking foul just now.
Xie Chen launched a fast break. Facing the three defenses, Xie Chen leaned on his back, leaned on his back, and suddenly turned his back, as if he was about to go to the basket. Just when the sun put all the defensive focus on Xie Chen, Xie Chen found Bosh who was quickly going to the basket. He made a direct pass, and the latter dunked!
Xie Chen’s assist performance was not over yet. Facing the defense of 198CM PJ Tucker, Xie Chen broke from the right to the left. After holding the ball with both hands, he took a step and took off to make a shooting action.

Xie Chen easily had 8 assists in the third quarter. Everyone was amazed at Xie Chen's changes. His playing style seemed to be becoming more and more elusive, and this is what Coach Spoelstra would like to see.

"It's really like D-Wade. The ball just now is really like D-Wade. It would be nice if there were two Flashes in the team, haha." Coach Spoelstra sat on the chair with a relaxed face and smiled.

By the fourth quarter, Xie Chen had already had 10 assists, and the team was leading by double digits. At this time, Xie Chen no longer used his trump card "Curry three-pointer" and "Ross layup", but used Kobe's fadeaway jumper to improve his integration.

At present, Kobe's fade-away jumper fusion rate is 80.00%, and his shooting percentage has been significantly improved, and his stay in the air has also increased, which is more than enough to deal with Dragic's defense.

Xie Chen, who is 193 cm, hits Dragic, who is 191 cm, from behind the top of the arc. This makes Dragic very upset: "Damn, you think you are a magician? How dare you back hit me all the way, if you have the ability, you push me to the inside!"

Xie Chen's body is not so strong, but it is still possible to slowly push to the free throw line. Xie Chen also put a lot of effort into shooting with fake shots. After a few fake shots, Dragic was impatient and reached out to hit Xie Chen's arm.

Another chance for Xie Chen to 2+1!
"Damn it!" Dragic was about to go crazy. Today's game gave him three chances to add penalties!
After Xie Chen high-fived his teammates, he walked past Dragic calmly and said, "You have already fouled four times, how dare you defend me like this? Now you have committed five fouls, so you can only watch me perform?"

Xie Chen felt that it was so cool to irritate people like this. Last time he committed five offenses and was careful not to defend on the field. This time it was finally his opponent's turn!

However, after Dragic made five fouls, the coach did not replace him. Xie Chen used Dragic to attack frantically. Finally, he finally pushed him into a corner. A willful steal caused Dragic to be sent off.

When Dragic left the arena, he glared at Xie Chen bitterly, and said harshly: "Next time we fight, I will definitely give it back to you tenfold!"

Xie Chen shrugged and said nothing.

Although he sent away the opponent's main point guard, Xie Chen still didn't have much luck in rebounding. In the end, he only got 9 rebounds and was replaced by the coach. After the game, Xie Chen's statistics were 25 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds.

Among the Big Three, Bosh scored the most with 38 points, while Wade's data was 16+8+7. The Big Three combined scored 79 points and completed the No.115 winning streak in the away game with 101:20.

Standing in front of the Heat now is the Rockets' 22-game winning streak created by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
