The 2+1 that Rose played Shawn Williams once calmed down the atmosphere, and after Xie Chen hit Gasol for a 2+1, the atmosphere was ignited again! The fans were in high spirits and applauded. Everyone's face was filled with smiles. Xie Chen liked to see the smiles of the home fans. For the Heat players, that was the warmest smile in the world.
Paul Gasol, who has curly hair, dumbly glanced at the magical basketball, without saying a word, and without any expression fluctuations, slowly stopped a step forward, that is the position where the defending side stood at the free throw He squatted down in the back half of his position and supported his knees with his hands. He didn't seem to have Xie Chen in his eyes from beginning to end.
At this moment, many netizens at home and abroad criticized Gasol's defense is too soft, and did not even think of preventing Xie Chen from going down. In fact, criticizing Gasol's "soft ball" has already been a thing, especially It was Gasol when he was in the Lakers, and he received much attention because of his partner with Kobe. It was the most miserable year when he lost to the Celtics in the finals, but fortunately he proved himself and revenge with Kobe. The champion won back.
Gasol is not soft, but just not hard. Nowadays, he is getting older and he has two championship trophies in his hands. There is nothing to fight in the NBA league. He and those who are 9 to 5 There is no difference between people who work on time.
Xie Chen stood at the free throw line. After receiving the ball from the referee, Xie Chen took a deep breath and paused. At this time, he heard one or two MVPs from the auditorium, but the sound quickly disappeared and did not cause any more. No other fans responded to the spread of the scope.
"One day, when I make a free throw, all fans will shout for MVP!" Xie Chen secretly vowed to make the ball steady.
Yang Jianjie said: "Xie Chen also gave Ross a 2+1, the two are against the wheatgrass, one is the MVP of the regular season in the past, and the other is the MVP that may have won the regular season this year. They are absolute top experts. Look. See if Rose can score."
"I don't think it's a good goal, because it's not a preseason game, it's not a charity exhibition game, it's impossible for the Heat team to watch Ross play another one, even if he can pass Xie Chen, it is difficult to make a layup easily. ." Su Qun expressed his views.
The fact is that as Su Qun said, this is a regular season, not an exhibition game, no one will complete the layup performances of Rose and Xie Chen, but Rose knows that the mountain has a tiger in favor of Tiger Mountain. In the same position, Rose Prepare to attack Xie Chen again!
"Oh, this ticket is really worth buying, buddy, look at the position of the D-ROSE station, it is the position of the bottom corner of the right side that Xie launched the attack just now, will he also complete a back like Xie did? Layup to the basket?"
"I have no idea at all, man, you know that Xie has put his defensive focus on his breakthrough, and D-ROSE may be the better choice to shoot."
But Ross is Ross. He will not listen to anyone on the court. His goal is only one, a layup, and he still has his back to the layup. He wants to prove at the American Airlines Arena that Xie Chen can do what he does. All can be completed easily, and the completion is better than Xie Chen!
Ross did not adopt a change of direction, but a tough back turned and passed Xie Chen. Strictly speaking, Xie Chen only got rid of Xie Chen's defense after being knocked off. Xie Chen was knocked down by Rose, but unfortunately, The referee didn't blow!
Could it be that the referee also wanted to make a personal duel between Rose and Xie Chen?
Ross overjoyed, this action wasn't even blown into people, so God help me too! Without a word, he went straight to the rim, and Hassan stood under the basket. Rose was not afraid, and he jumped up in the face of the big man of two meters and three.
Everyone held their breath. They knew that Ross was terrible. If the ball was scored again, Xie Chen would definitely be under more pressure!
"Snapped!"
Only heard a crunch, and the basketball in Rose's hand was actually played out!
Hassan rushed over and the two were entangled in the air. Hasan had no chance to give Ross a layup. He knocked Ross away the ball for the first time. Of course, he was also fouled.
Hassan raised his arm and said to Rose with a smile: "I'm not Sean, I won't let you be so arrogant in the penalty area."
"Damn unnamed kid..." Ross glared at Hassan, rubbing the impacted shoulder position, and walked to the free throw line.
The fans at the scene were finally relieved. The two offensive performances finally came to a halt. Fortunately, the team's newly signed center Hassan was enough to pull Ross down at once. Otherwise, this ball will let others defend. Playing 2+1, Xie Chen will have to launch a personal attack again to declare war on Rose, but Rose’s layup is unsuccessful, the two people’s personal performance duel can temporarily come to an end, but everyone knows, In the next few games, the duel will continue.
The protagonist on the court began to transfer to other role players. The Bulls' Dunleavy and Butler, the Heat's Rollard and Hasan all scored one after another and became the protagonists on the court.
Xie Chen held the ball from the outside and the Bulls' defensive formation was finally displayed. At this time, Xie Chen wanted to break into the restricted area and it was not easy. The name of Thibodeau's defensive master was not a bad name.
Xie Chen had a defensive player in front of him, an inside player pinched underneath, and another inside player walked between the paint areas, resulting in more defense on the weak side. This kind of defensive position requires a lot of inside defense for the mobile defense. High, it is necessary to take care of the player who holds the ball on the strong side, and when the ball is transferred to the weak side on a large scale, it must be able to make up for the defense in time.
At this time, Wade had seized Thibodeau's defensive loophole and took advantage of Noah, who was walking in the center line, to cut into the basket, but Xie Chen did not pass the ball for the first time.
Thiboduo on the field looked at it all with a cold jaw: "Xie is still a first-year freshman, and now he clearly doesn't have the ability to penetrate the defense line. If they change to Chris Paul and Steve Nash, they will have this opportunity. Not to be missed, Crisser, Russell, Stephen Curry, and even our team's Derrick Rose, they are all offensive point guards with super scoring ability, but at the same time, they also lose their ability to score Something else."
The Heat started a tug of war with the Bulls, and the scores continued to rise alternately. In the third quarter, the Bulls counterattacked suddenly, hitting a wave of 8:0 small highs and 1 tide. Although Spear called a timeout in time, it only guaranteed that it would not expand. Lost points, the entire third quarter, the Heat did not catch up the score.
Soon to the most critical fourth quarter, the Heat are still behind by 10 points, but most of the Heat fans are quite optimistic. After all, they have won so long in a row, they have long forgotten the taste of failure, and 10 points is not impossible to catch up. Even if the score difference is 15 points behind, everyone will believe that Xie Chen will chase the score back.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chalmers and Cole’s double point guards played a role on the field. The two continued to attack the Bulls’ inside line. Chalmers made two fouls in a row. Cole also completed a high difficulty. Draws a layup, but the two can serve as surprise soldiers, but they can't be heroes that can save the team. As the Bulls' defense is getting better, their scores have been suppressed, but when Xie Chen came on the court, The score is only 8 points behind, which is already commendable.
Xie Chen played again and replaced Chalmers on the floor as bright as new. The fans gave warm cheers to the audience. Xie Chen also smiled and showed a relaxed look. He was no longer a rookie just entering the NBA. It's not that I haven't experienced a crucial moment, a quarter of eight points, that is, three three-pointers. Xie Chen is very confident, but he does not know that the most difficult time for him in this game has come.
In front of the Bulls' seats, Thibodeau in suits and leather hands crossed his chest, looking at the relaxed face of Xie Chen, and gently smiled: "Finally, finally in the fourth quarter, I can finally realize my promise to myself! In your last time When I left the Chicago training hall, I vowed to meet you next time, I will not make you feel better! At this moment, it is finally coming! Ha ha, if it is your hot lead now, I will have some scruples about whether to do so, But it's a pity that you lost to us in the third quarter! More than 20 consecutive victories will surely make any team proud and complacent, and in this game, you and your team will pay for it!"
Thibodeau has sharp eyes, licking his lips from time to time, and his fierce eyes are like licking the blood on the blade~EbookFREE.me~ Everyone wants to end the hot streak, Thibodeau is no exception!
Xie Chen dribble the half, he wanted to find a chance to make a three-pointer, but found that defending himself is Jimmy Butler, 2.01.
Xie Chen glanced at Rose, thinking to himself: "Is it to save Rose's physical strength?"
Prior to this, Xie Chen had always been defended by Ross, and the two top 1 positions staged many personal duels, which almost made Rose a little overwhelmed, because the last time the two were one-on-one in Chicago, Xie Chen’s strength was still Far from being so powerful, it would even take Xie Chen and Wade to play against Rose, but now, Xie Chen is alone, and Rose can't defend.
does not have a dominant height, it does not mean that there is no way to make a three-pointer, Xie Chen can use speed to get rid of Butler's defense, and then take another three-pointer when it is not ready, James Harden, Stephen Curry often do so.
Xie Chen opened Lowry's breakthrough skills, and the center of gravity was very low. Obviously, he wanted to break through Butler, but Butler's defense is still a shot-proof posture. Xie Chen changed to the left to break through, but Butler just moved over , Did not retreat, Xie Chen originally wanted to quickly pull back after the fake breakthrough, so Butler shifted his focus back, this time to complete the shot, unfortunately, the plan failed!
"Let me break through?"
Xie Chen saw that Butler guarded against his own three-point guard, and immediately responded to random changes, no longer making three-pointers as originally planned, and decisively broke through Butler.
Just took a step, the Bulls striker Taki Gibson immediately stepped forward to block Xie Chen's way, at the same time, Butler quickly followed, and the two immediately wrapped Xie Chen!
