Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 20: The Layup

A minute ago, the home fans were still pessimistic for a while, but now, with Xie Chen's two consecutive three-pointers, chasing the score to only 5 points, the mood of the home fans has also risen.

McHale yelled loudly on the sidelines, extremely angry. His final requirement for this quarter was to lead by more than eight points, and coach Spoelstra hoped that at the end of the third quarter, the score difference would be within five points. There is still a period of time before the end, and it is still unknown whose expectation the ending is closer to.

The Rockets played well today. Both their individual competitive status and tactical cooperation played smoothly. It didn't look like they were playing on the road. They were thrown two three-pointers in a row, and they didn't let them mess up. position.

The bearded Harden dribbled the ball slowly. At this time, Xie Chen had already replaced him to defend him, thus saving Wade's energy. The Heat have always adopted an oppressive rush-style defense. This kind of defense will force the game to speed up and force the opponent to be unable to display the proposed tactics. If the player with the ball is defended closely, he will be forced to adopt a hasty pass. Only the player at the basket can receive the ball, and the defense is ready to steal the pass at any time, or prompt the opponent's 24-second violation, or prompt the opponent to make a mistake, or rush to shoot.

However, this defensive system is built on the basis that defensive players are physically active in defense. When James was there, James, Wade, Bosh, and Battier were all very good defensive players, but now the Heat's lineup , The height and physical fitness are much worse than before, so the effect is minimal.

Xie Chen has not yet learned any defensive skills, and the physical talent of the yellow race alone cannot create a real sense of oppression on Harden.

The Heat suddenly double-teamed Harden. Harden was sticky with the ball, but finally passed the ball. Finally, the ball reached Howard. Howard took a quick step and went to the basket, causing a foul by center Hamilton.

Howard is too strong, and it is too easy to beat Hamilton. Fortunately, the free throws are not stable, and the two hit one, giving the Heat the opportunity to continue chasing points.

Xie Chen didn't attack by himself when he came up, and handed the ball to Wade. Wade's defense against Ariza was also a little weak. Xie Chen could feel that his condition in the second half was not very good. He was touched just now, so he made a shot at this time. It should not be accurate.

Xie Chen took the initiative to run to get the ball back again. Facing Beverly's defense again, it was time for him to impress the audience.

"You have no chance, kid!" Beverly said with a gloomy face. He had just been played by Xie Chen once, and was scolded by his coach and teammates one after another. At this time, he hated Xie Chen to the bone. It's Jordan Bowen, and Beverly will treat it as air and turn a deaf ear!

Beverly stuck to Xie Chen very tightly, obviously because he was worried about Xie Chen's three-pointer. Xie Chen already had 90% of Lowry's breakthrough ability. This time, it was even more effortless. After passing by, Beverly was a little slow, but still actively defending, his hands were ready to stop Xie Chen, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to rush over abruptly, and Beverly directly grabbed the air with both hands!

Beverly was stunned, thinking that this move could stop Xie Chen, even if it was a bit of a foul, but he didn't expect Xie Chen's strength and speed to ignore Beverly's defense like a dead sheep.

"So fast! Beverly was completely left behind, he cared too much about Xie Chen's three-pointer!"

After Xie Chen broke through the defense, James Harden, who had been staring at him, did not give Xie Chen an open mid-range shot, but quickly stepped forward to defend. Facing Harden's supplementary defense, Xie Chen paused on the spot, and then , A change to the left directly passed Harden!

"Oh! He passed Harden again! He passed two defensive players in a row!"

The fans at the scene were excited, and some spectators even stood up excitedly!

Harden, a player who only looks at the ball and not people when defending, is relatively easy to deal with with Lowry's ability. In addition, the opponent has no experience and experience in defending himself. Even, Xie Chen feels that Harden will not expect it at all. I will continue to break through, because there is a person in the restricted area that Xie Chen will never dare to face.

Dwight Howard!

Howard sits on the inside and has been on the battlefield for a long time. What kind of talented players have you never seen? Although he also had the painful experience of being dunked by Kobe, Howard was still a rookie at that time, and now, no one dares to act presumptuously in his territory!

However, for some reason, when Howard faced Xie Chen, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and trembled.

At this second, as if time had stopped, Wade opened his mouth wide and looked at Xie Chen who was gradually approaching the basket. Spoel put his hands on his hips, but both hands obviously had no strength left. Seeing the UFO-like spectacle, the domestic fans also held their breaths. They hoped that Xie Chen would stop and make a jump shot. Even if he couldn't score because of Howard's interference, they didn't want him to be slapped on the ground by Howard.

Courage is something that every outside player must have when he goes inside.

Jordan had it back then, Kobe had it, Tracy McGrady had it, Iverson had it, Wade had it, and although Xie Chen hasn't copied the layup skills yet, he also has the courage!

Xie Chen didn't pause at all. After passing Harden, he went straight into the penalty area. When he rushed to Howard, he hugged the ball with both hands, ready to layup!

"I won't let you succeed!" Howard gritted his teeth. Seeing Xie Chen's body move to the right, he thought that Xie Chen would directly lay up with his right hand. Suddenly, both hands pulled to the left!

"Oh my God! This is... this is Wade's signature move!"

Howard was shocked, he never expected that Xie Chen would dare to use Wade's Lost Step in front of him!

Howard had already lost his position, because at this time Xie Chen had already circled to Howard's left side to prepare for a layup with his left hand. Unwilling, Howard slapped him with two big hands. Howard hit Xie Chen's arm with a clear slap. Incomparably, Xie Chen had already made a shot at this time, the basketball was interfered by Howard, and was thrown very high, even reaching the top of the basket.

The referee blew the whistle, and Xie Chen fell to the ground in response. The basketball slowly fell over the hoop, padding and piling on the edge of the hoop. The audience also held their breaths. Finally, the basketball finally stopped. fell into the basket.

"Damn!" Howard cursed.

"Lucky Ball! 2+1! Xie Chen hit a 2+1, and he still faced Howard, the No. 1 center!"

"Although there was a lot of luck involved in this ball, even if it missed, it still caused Howard's foul. With Xie Chen's free throw percentage, it is a sure thing to score two points. Xie Chen had two defensive players in a row before. It was Wade's misty layup again, it seems that this goal is going to enter today's top ten."

Yang Yi and Yang Jian couldn't help but marvel, and the American Airlines Arena was full of cheers. Wade rushed over to help Xie Chen up, and after helping him up, he excitedly "thumped" Xie Chen hard, overjoyed: "Boy , you really dare to use the lost step!"

Because Xie Chen didn't practice this move very well, and even if it is a lost step, it requires a lot of personal physical fitness, not to mention facing a defensive champion like Howard, so Wade can't do it at all. I didn't expect Xie Chen to dare to make a layup, let alone use the lost step that I taught him. At this moment, Wade was very proud. You know, Wade is the king of shot blocks under 6 feet 4 inches, and he was blocked by him. The player with the most players is Howard. He enjoys the thrill of beating Howard very much. Although he is getting older and facing Howard more and more, he did not expect his teammates to teach him a lesson in his own way!

"Strike!" Bosh and Luol Deng also stepped forward to give Xie Chen a high-five to celebrate.

Xie Chen stood at the free throw line, and when everyone was amazed and praised Xie Chen, Yang Yi, who had always been looking forward to Xie Chen, said at this time: "It can be seen that Xie Chen's strength, jumping, and the feeling when laying up are still very good. Normally, this ball can be said to be scored by Xie Chen, or Howard, because Howard slapped Xie Chen's arm, forcing Xie Chen to throw the ball into the air unconsciously, and then dangled in on the basket. , This kind of ball is not reproducible, but his breakthrough is getting better and better, the three-pointer is getting better and better, and the overall situation is getting better and better. This is already something for the Heat to be happy about."

Xie Chen was thoughtful about that layup just now, but his ability couldn't keep up, because Lowry's ability disappeared at the moment of the layup, and he hadn't acquired anyone's layup ability, so he just Can use his own, but Xie Chen's level of confrontation and layup ability in the air is very average.

This is also Xie Chen's next major task. After learning breakthrough skills, what will he learn? Of course it is to learn the layup ability, the two are as inseparable as fish and water.

Xie Chen rubbed his arms and glared at Howard with a slight complaint. Howard looked roguely at the sky above the arena and ignored it. The photographer captured this interesting scene. After Xie Chen easily hit a free throw, the mainland NBA bar The previous posts mocking Xie Chen were upvoted and slapped in the face one by one, especially the one who was 1.87 meters tall and asked if he could finish Xie Chen's post. Within a minute, it was upvoted by a thousand netizens. The reply was exactly the same, only four words: You think too much!
