Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 143 Adams'

Double-team Xie Chen! They still use the two aces of Westbrook and Durant!

The intention of Brooks to do this is that once the double-teaming of the two causes Xie Chen to make a mistake, either Westbrook or Durant can quickly rush to the frontcourt to score. Because he found that once Xie Chen faced this situation, he would pass the ball immediately without exception, and Brooks bet that the other players of the Heat would not score!

"Brooks seems to be trying to trap Xie Chen completely, not only preventing him from scoring, but even preventing him from organizing. This trick is really amazing! He doesn't take Wade and Bosh seriously at all." Yang Jian said with emotion.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "I think he did this to stabilize Durant's mood, because Durant must still score, but Xie Chen was completely restrained, and the confrontation between the two in the first three quarters did not exist. Alright, although it’s a bit invincible, but there’s no way, this is the NBA, not a street court.”

The fans at the scene also resented for a while, and they all scolded Brooks for being too despicable. They even double-teamed Xie Chen in advance, obviously regardless of the outcome, and wanted Durant to win the one-on-one duel. I think I can win this way.

There is no doubt that Xie Chen is the trump card of this Heat team. In the three games where Xie Chen was absent, the Heat lost all of them. In the games that won, Xie Chen was the biggest in terms of assists and scoring. Hero, in Brooks' heart, the Heat with Xie Chen is a first-class team, without Xie Chen, the Heat may not even make the playoffs, so double-teaming Xie Chen is an inevitable decision.

After Xie Chen passed the ball, his teammates failed to hit the ball. In turn, Durant chased and scored two points.

At this time, the audience was silent.

In the first row, a seven or eight-year-old blond girl panickedly shook her father's arm, stared anxiously into her big watery eyes and asked, "Dad, that No. 35 scored again, and the Heat's No. 0 is still alive." Can you score?"

The father touched the little girl's head and said with a smile: "He is stared at by two players now, so he may not be able to score, but basketball is a team sport, and his teammates score the same."

"But I just want to see him score." The little girl's Tongyan Wuji expressed the aspirations of all the fans at the moment. The difference is that older fans will understand Xie Chen.

Xie Chen glanced at Brooks, feeling a little anxious in his heart. It's not that he didn't expect to be double-teamed, but he didn't expect it to be so early, let alone this kind of double-team immediately after receiving the ball, and he didn't even let the dribble be double-teamed in advance. This is simply not giving Xie Chen a chance to survive, not only restricting scoring, but not even allowing offense.

"I played with Durant for three quarters. I don't want the game to end like this. Since I am not allowed to dribble, then I will not dribble. I will shoot immediately after receiving the ball!"

Although Xie Chen is more used to playing offense with the ball, but in extraordinary times, he can only play off the ball.

Wade organized the offense, Xie Chen came out in a circle to ask for the ball, and after catching the ball, he quickly stepped back and made a jumper. The Thunder only had Westbrook sticking to the defense. Under Westbrook's tight defense, Xie Chen, a difficult defender, Yang still hit!

"Chris, you are amazing!"

The cheers from the audience are back!

However, Coach Brooks is very calm, because he firmly believes that no matter how strong Xie Chen is, it is impossible to hit all the time with such a difficult and quick shot. In this unfair duel, Xie Chen will definitely lose, and thank you If Chen insists on continuing to compete with Durant, not only will he lose personally, but the whole team will also suffer.

Coach Spoelstra was already a little flustered, and so were Wade and Bosh. They didn't give Xie Chen and Durant a one-on-one chance, but in this situation, it was too difficult for Xie Chen to score like a mountain. up! This is a regular season after all.

On the Thunder's side, it seems that Durant has given all the offensive rights to himself, attacking with the ball again, and scoring again! However, Xie Chen did not get the favor of the goddess of luck this time, and hit the iron.

Conversely, after the Thunder grabbed the rebound, Durant chased and returned a three-pointer! At this time, Durant scored five more points than Xie Chen. In the entire game, this was the first time Durant scored two more goals than Xie Chen.

At this time, coach Spoelstra requested a timeout.

"Well done, KD! You don't need to pay attention to the duel with Xie now! If he wants to catch up, he must sacrifice the interests of the whole team!" After Durant made a three-pointer, Westbrook walked away excitedly Step up and give Durant a high five.

Durant smiled with mock ease: "I didn't care about it from the beginning."

The atmosphere on the Heat's side was a little quiet. Everyone understood the current situation. Xie Chen had become the core of the team. No one dared to say anything. Even Wade was silent. Coach Spoelstrom patted his face hard. Xie Chen's shoulder was just about to speak, but unexpectedly, Xie Chen raised his head first, and said with a smile, "Coach, the Thunder's defensive focus is on me now, and I will use this to pass the ball out after attracting double-teams." .”

Coach Spoel was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xie Chen to be willing to give up the personal duel with Durant! Although he just patted Xie Chen on the shoulder, he wanted to persuade him to do so.

Coach Spoelstra asked softly: "Are you sure? I know you attach great importance to today's matchup with KD. You have been waiting for two months."

Xie Chen said with a smile: "How can personal honor and disgrace compare to the interests of the team? D-Wade, Bosh, and I are the leaders of the team, and we have to bear the responsibility for the team's victory or defeat."

Spoel nodded, and Wade, Bosh and others also upgraded Xie Chen's evaluation by a level.

After the timeout, Xie Chen did exactly that. Under the double-team defense of the Thunder's second junior, he frequently passed the ball to assist his teammates, making it very easy for the Heat to score. On the other hand, Durant's offensive remained undiminished, even from time to time. Also encountered double-teaming.

With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Heat led by one point 98:97. At this time, Coach Brooks asked the assistant coach beside him: "How many points did Xie and KD score?"

The assistant coach looked at the stats and replied, "Kevin scored 34 points and Chris Xie scored 21 points."

"It's already leading by 13 points." Brooks nodded in satisfaction, and then made a gesture of crossing his arms towards Durant and Westbrook on the court. Ren gave up on Xie Chen's double-team defense.

In the eyes of Brooks, the "one-on-one farce" initiated by Xie Chen is over. Durant has already led Xie Chen by 13 points, and the game will soon end, Xie Chen has been powerless, and at this time, There is no need to continue to stick to Xie Chen alone. Now that the score is deadlocked, anyone can be the one to defeat the opponent.

The Heat attacked, Xie Chen held the ball and wanted to attract double-team defense again, but at this time, Durant no longer stepped forward to double-team.

Fans at the scene also saw this change.

"The Thunder coach has canceled the pincer attack on Xie! It's a pity that it's too late to cancel now. Xie is already more than ten points behind KD and can't catch up. If the damn Thunder coach didn't destroy their personal duel, Xie would definitely beat KD tonight." The lesson is obedient!"

"Yeah, I've never seen such a domineering one-on-one matchup. The Thunder coach ruined this good show."

Everyone thought that the personal duel between Xie Chen and Durant was over long ago, because Xie Chen was 13 points behind now, and Xie Chen did not intend to score immediately after the opponent canceled the double-team defense, so he passed the ball back To a teammate, however, under the conduction, the ball was passed to Xie Chen, and Xie Chen hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

This is Xie Chen's 24th point, 10 points behind Durant, but Xie Chen's assists have reached 14 times.

Xie Chen's three-point goal did not cause any waves. Although the fans cheered, they were not particularly excited. Westbrook, who was defending Xie Chen, felt that it was nothing. Durant also looked relaxed, even if he made the shot. With 10 points, he doesn't believe that Xie Chen can catch up with the score in just two minutes, unless Durant doesn't score himself.

At the critical moment, Durant's shooting rate really had a problem. He missed the first shot, and was blocked for the second forced layup. Wade immediately started a fast break after getting the ball. Wade's state is very fierce, and people can vaguely see the shadow of the Flash in the 2012 Finals, so the Thunder is very scrupulous about Wade. After holding the ball, Wade breaks through and goes to the basket. At the time, Wade gave the ball to Xie Chen who had already stood in the right corner and had already taken the position.

Westbrook, who was about to block Wade, saw that Xie Chen was empty at the three-point line, and suddenly panicked! With Xie Chen's precise three-point shooting rate, there is no doubt that he will score again with such an open space!

But at this moment, Thunder player Adams, who was about to get off, saw Xie Chen who was vacant, and rushed over quickly!

"Oh, Sh1t! It's so far away to block the shot?" The fans couldn't help being a little annoyed seeing that Adams flew over to block the shot even though he knew it was too late.

"Be careful!" Hassan behind him reminded Xie Chen, now he can't wait to put Adams on the ground! Because Hassan, who had been competing with him for a whole game, knew that Adams was not trying to block the shot, but to hurt Xie Chen!

Xie Chen also remembered for a moment the scene when Adams flew to block Paul. The scene at that time was exactly the same as now. Paul was also empty from the corner three-point line. Adams flew over and kicked Paul to the ground. Adams was 7 feet tall and 255 pounds. The weight, it's really not something Xie Chen can bear!

At the critical moment, Xie Chen was quick to think, and instead of shooting, he slapped the ball hard on the floor, and then he dodged to the side.

Adams, who was already flying in the air, looked stunned: "What's going on? You flashed yourself?"

Now facing Adams, it was no longer Xie Chen, but the air and a basketball that was bouncing into the sky. This was Xie Chen's plan. He couldn't let Adams hurt his body, and he didn't want to waste the ball in this attack, so he hit the ball on the floor. Adams rushed out so quickly, and he didn't block or steal the ball at all. Meaning, it will definitely take the basketball out of bounds.

However, what even Xie Chen didn't expect was that the basketball did hit Adams, but he was not taken out of bounds by Adams, because the ball hit Adams' little brother, Adams screamed and used his hand to protect, The ball was left on the court again, and then the whole person flew out and fell hard on the floor.

Xie Chen, who dodged aside early, was taken aback, the ball is still there? Without further ado, he walked back to the three-point line, picked up the basketball and shot, and hit the three-pointer again, only seven points away from Durant!

At this time, people realized that the duel between Xie Chen and Durant was not over yet!
