Super all-around point guard

Chapter 168 Fighting against the Spurs alone!
keep playing!Must hit Popovich to call a timeout!

Xie Chen's eyes were bright, and he played Danny Green with his back. When Xie Chen leaned towards Green's body, no one from the Spurs stepped forward to flank, while the other Heat players retreated far away, giving Xie Chen enough space for him to play singles. This is clearly putting Xie Chen and Green one-on-one.

Green is 1.9 feet 3 inches, [-] meters [-]. He has a slight advantage in height, but his weight is not much different from Xie Chen. As a model of a [-]D player, in addition to being accurate enough for three-pointers, he is also good at defense. Before Green defended Paul, he defended Curry well.

The Spurs usually send Kawhi Leonard to defend strong and vigorous players, such as Luol Deng, and Danny Green to defend Xie Chen, a sensitive and fast player.

Leaning slowly, just when Green thought Xie Chen was going to turn over and shoot a jumper, he suddenly turned into a breakthrough attack, but suddenly stopped, and then made a jumper, turning Green around, and the basketball fell into the basket with great precision.

4 points!The Heat are only 4 points behind!The game has become suspenseful again!And this is almost the credit of Xie Chen alone!
But Popovich still didn't call a timeout!

"It's not called a timeout even if you score 10 points? You can do it, old man!" Xie Chen was speechless. Did this old guy Popovich completely ignore what he meant?

Popovich is still as calm as a mountain at this time, not only because it is a regular season, but also because he really wants to test more in this confrontation how to deal with the Heat with Xie Chen as the core, but more importantly, he has confidence in his own disciples.

The Spurs' offense is smooth and smooth, the chic passing, the running of the ball with the ball, and the personal extraordinary skills seem to be natural, but a lot of hard work has been put in behind the scenes. Almost all of the Spurs' scores come from boring drills over and over again. If they pay, they should be rewarded. This is Popovich's steadfastness.

Popovich still looked firmly at the players on the field, and he knew that these guys would not let him down.

Parker held the ball on the left wing, used Splitter's cover, ran to the right, and then passed the ball to Leonard on the right wing. At this time, Duncan mentioned the high post to cover for Leonard, but Leonard did not attack, but transferred the ball to Danny Green in the bottom corner. , Green hit the ground and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan followed the trend and made easy throws.

The Spurs finally eased the scoring shortage and pulled the point difference back to 6 points.

This is after continuous air cuts, which caused Duncan to play big and small. The whole tactic looks pleasing to the eye. This is another aesthetic feeling different from the Clippers, the city of lobs.

The Spurs' offense is like an onion. You peel off one layer, and there is another layer. Layers of layers make you confused, and the Spurs' offense is always divided into several steps. When they get backcourt rebounds, their first reaction must be to look for opportunities for fast breaks.

When it comes to positional battles, the Spurs have too many routines. The Spurs' positional tactics pay attention to the word "movement", less confrontation and more air cuts, emphasizing opportunities, reducing strong attacks, and paying great attention to the fluency of the ball. The offense just now is a good example. It can be said that they captured the Heat's basket without bloodshed.

"They can always score in the simplest and safest way. No wonder I play with you and the others. I feel tired even if I use my skills without exhausting my energy." Xie Chen couldn't help paying tribute to the Spurs. He has persisted for more than ten years and used the most correct way to do the most correct things. The Spurs, an opponent, deserves respect.

Maybe the Spurs' scoring looks complicated, but it's easy to apportion it to individuals. Maybe the Heat's current offense looks simple, but Xie Chen's every strong play seems very difficult, but Xie Chen still has to do it and keep scoring!Fighting against a team alone is not to be a hero, but Xie Chen must make the opponent feel threatened before he can release his teammates.

It was still Xie Chen's one-on-one attack on Green. Green was 1.9 meters eight. Using Lowry's small man's breakthrough skills was extremely easy. An accelerated breakthrough reached the basket and immediately converted into a layup by Rose. However, facing the interference of Duncan's long arms, the basketball hit the backboard and landed on the basket. After a pause, it slipped out and missed!
"Oh, thank God, the kid didn't get in once!"

"The opportunity for the Spurs has arrived!"

Xie Chen failed to make a layup, and Duncan grabbed the rebound immediately. In fact, when Duncan got the rebound, the Spurs' offense had already begun. Generally, the team's fast break was initiated by the point guard, but the backcourt rebound was first received by the inside, so it often required an inside pass to the point guard. But in the Spurs, this step can be completely omitted, because Duncan looked up and passed the ball directly to Parker in the frontcourt.

When Parker received the ball and pushed forward, Green and Leonard also quickly followed. Green was the first person who had the opportunity to receive Parker's pass, and Leonard was as a response, grabbing a rebound when Green missed a layup. In the end, Green went inside and attracted the defensive players, but passed the ball covertly to Leonard, Leonard hit the rebound easily.

8 points, the Heat fell behind to 8 points again.

"Hahaha, it is impossible for one person to beat the entire Spurs team. Popovich is going to teach Chris how to play basketball tonight."

"That's right, Popovich didn't care about Xie from the very beginning, but went to pinch Bosh to prevent him from receiving the ball easily. It seems that Popovich has long concluded that Xie alone can't win the ball."

Xie Chen let out a long sigh of melancholy. He was still fighting high just now and wanted to call a timeout for the Spurs, but in such a short period of time, Xie Chen only missed once, and quickly gave the Spurs a chance, and the score opened up again.

Xie Chen thought he could catch up with the score in one go, and then overtake... I have to admit that Xie Chen is very depressed now.

"I just want to see your depressed expression, cute rookie boy." When he saw Xie Chen's depressed expression, Popovich was happy. He didn't call a timeout and let Xie Chen go, just to see Xie Chen's frustrated look.

"When the score was only 4 points behind, you must have felt that you could lead the team to the other side of victory. From complacency to hopelessness, this sense of gap has a great emotional impact on people. Besides, you are still a rookie. No matter how mature you are, you can't... eh?"
Xie Chen patted his chest hard, and said to himself: "The characteristic of the Spurs is stability, and my characteristic is also stability. I rely on skills, not touch, to score. I don't lose to the Spurs in terms of stability, and it doesn't consume energy. I won't feel tired after playing for a long time. It's only the third quarter now, and we still have opportunities."

Thinking of this, Xie Chen turned sadness into joy, which made Popovich puzzled for a while: "Why did he suddenly become enlightened? Impossible, no matter how good the emotional control ability is, it is impossible for a player to adjust in such a short period of time. He should not be so much better than Westbrook."

In Popovich's view, if it were Westbrook, it is estimated that a few basins of ice water would not calm the other party down.

"Yes, he is indeed a very mature player. Coach Riley still has such a unique vision. He can select such a player at that pick. However, Chris Xie, even if you are not controlled by emotions, with your own ability, it is impossible to beat my Spurs. In the last quarter, your physical strength will decline, your shots will be inaccurate, your speed and jumping will all change, but my Spurs are still the same as before."

At the end of the third quarter, Xie Chen chased the score back to only 4 points. In the fourth quarter, the terrible Spurs scored consecutively from the beginning and pulled back to 8 points again. Fortunately, Birdman Anderson showed his strength and frequently grabbed offensive rebounds.

"There's no time left with the Spurs."

As soon as Xie Chen entered the stage, he immediately prepared to fire with full firepower!kill!Cut the spurs off the horse!

After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced to the half court. Facing Ginobili, he pretended to break through with a feint, and then quickly pulled up the shot and hit it!
Three-pointer!Only three points away!

The Spurs attacked, and the ball was passed to Ginobili. Ginobili held it in his hand and paused. Just after the first dribble, the ball just fell to the floor. Xie Chen quickly developed Paul's stealing skills, broke the ball in an instant, and went straight to the frontcourt!
Facing the empty frontcourt, Xie Chen didn't choose to make a layup, but shot when he reached the three-point line!
Another three-pointer!tie!

"Oh, I'll go, this kid is too confident, no one under the basket chooses to shoot a three-pointer!"

"He carried the entire team on his shoulders alone. I can't believe it. If he can lead the team to beat the Spurs, if I am eligible to vote, I will vote for him for MVP!"

Even!Xie Chen roared excitedly!It can be regarded as venting the anger that has been pent up for the whole game. Since the first quarter, the Heat have been chasing and playing, and now they are back on the same starting line. Next, Xie Chen will continue to score and lead the team to victory!
Then, Xie Chen turned and looked at Popovich.

"Look, look, Xie is staring at Popovich!"

"Xie doesn't seem to regard the five people on the field as opponents, and Popovich seems to be Xie's enemy."

I saw that Popovich smiled and finally called a timeout.

　Foretell, next month will break out, and the long-awaited All-Star Tour will officially start on May 5st. Hanyue has carefully prepared a May Day holiday feast for everyone this time. I hope everyone will not miss it!
