Super all-around point guard

Chapter 885 Boss, leave James to me!
Xie Chen has a basketball replication system, so he is destined to be different from other stars. He cannot have been playing in the league for more than ten years like Kobe and James. Other stars will not always be at their peak, and their abilities will decline year by year at the end of their careers.

Under the circumstances of various threats in the real world, perhaps, early retirement is a doomed thing, but Xie Chen is now at the peak of his age, and it is still too early to retire.

Two days later, at the Staples Center, after the wonderful Game [-], the Lakers staged the Finals again at home!
This is the third consecutive season for Xie Chen to enter the finals, and all of them are leaders of different teams. This is something that has never happened in NBA history. This moment is enough to prove that Xie Chen's personal ability is unmatched in history.

Although LeBron James has entered the finals for four consecutive seasons, it is still not as good as Xie Chen's third time.

Needless to say, the scene was full of stars. In addition to excitement and anticipation, the fans also had a lot of nostalgia.

"Xie won't really win the championship and retire? If the Lakers can easily deal with the Cavaliers, then we will only watch him three or even two games at Staples. God, it makes me sad to think about it."

"Let you put it this way, I kind of don't want the Lakers to win the championship. His game is so crazy, I haven't seen enough."

Based on this emotion, before the game started, the boos to the Cavaliers were not too high.

In the first row, the members of the superstar spectator group were all betting on Xie Chen's victory.

"I guess Xie Chen should win within five games." Hassan Whiteside still believes in Xie Chen's ability.

Westbrook said: "I think it's five to six games. In short, Xie won't lose."

Westbrook averaged a triple-double this season, what a remarkable achievement, but Xie Chen also averaged a triple-double this season, and his statistics exploded in all aspects, which made Westbrook have no sense of presence. The Warriors' Lakers are also eligible to win the Cavaliers.

Westbrook touched Harden with his arm and said, "Why don't you talk? How many games do you think there will be in this series? If you guess wrong, you will pay for a treat in Las Vegas."

Harden was indeed a little absent-minded, because he saw his former girlfriend, Kardashian. Kardashian naturally came to support her current boyfriend Tristan Thompson of the Cavaliers. Harden thought that Kardashian and Thompson were just playing for fun. Either Kardashian dumped Thompson, or Thompson was tired of Kardashian. In short, the two would not last long, but he did not expect...

"I'm so fucking in love!" Harden felt a little uncomfortable, and then said to Westbrook and others: "Four to zero sweep."

Everyone was surprised for a while. They felt that the Cavaliers were underestimated after five or six games. Harden actually said that the Lakers would sweep the Cavaliers...

But if you think about it carefully, Xie Chen can do anything. Maybe he really exploded every game and swept the Cavaliers, just like he swept the first place in the East last year when he was the eighth in the East.

"If this is Xie's last finals, based on what I know about him, he will definitely use a sweep to prove his dominance." James Harden gave his own explanation, and these words were also recognized by everyone, and everyone didn't think Harden was just talking.

In fact, Harden was upset that Tristan Thompson was so close to his ex-girlfriend, so he deliberately looked down on the Cavaliers, so he never thought about Xie Chen's thoughts.

In fact, Xie Chen is still cautious until now, but he dare not think about how to deal with the Cavaliers a few times in advance. The Lakers are not that strong yet. If Xie Chen had Durant or the Splash Brothers by his side, Xie Chen might be so arrogant.

Whether this series can be won or not depends on his teammates, because the Cavaliers will definitely double-team Xie Chen.

Xie Chen glanced at his teammates who were concentrating on warming up, and said inwardly, "If you stick to one more series, you will be able to win the championship. Don't cheat me."

In the series against the Warriors, they performed well, but don't pass the most important hurdle and fail at the last hurdle. If other players perform below normal, then Xie Chen alone in the finals will definitely not be able to win against the Cavaliers!

……

CCTV, Yang Jian and Zhang Weiping also came to the scene to explain.

Yang Jiandao: "This is the first game of the Finals. The Cavaliers are waiting for work, and they have the league's Big Three. LeBron James, Irving, and Kevin Love are all top players in the league. This season's newcomers Derek Williams and Korver are also excellent role players. In addition, Tristan Thompson, a rebounding maniac who averaged [-] offensive rebounds per game, seems to be that the Cavaliers are slightly stronger. But why, Director Zhang, everyone generally speculates that the Lakers can win the championship? And not just ordinary fans, even ESP N’s columnists, [-]% to [-]% bet on the Lakers to win, not the Cavaliers.”

Yang Jian naturally knew why, but as the host, he still had to ask this question.

Zhang Weiping has been commenting on the NBA Finals for countless years. He will be 70 years old this year, but he is still in good shape, and his voice is loud, and he looks very energetic and young. It is probably because basketball makes him look like a young man at this age, so passionate.

This year may also be the last time CCTV sent him to the United States to commentate on the NBA Finals, so he worked very hard on the commentary.

Zhang Weiping said: "Looking at the superficial strength, the Cavaliers have the Big Three, while the Lakers have only one Xie Chen. It seems that the Cavaliers are more sure of winning, but the key is that the Lakers beat the Warriors. The Warriors are a super team with the Big Four. Everyone sees that Xie Chen can win even the Big Four teams. Naturally, you, the Big Three, are no problem."

"On the other hand, from the perspective of the two sides' fights, although the Cavaliers have always been the top team in the league in the past few years, in the past two years in the Eastern Conference, they have never broken through Xie Chen's obstacles, and they have never stood in the finals. That is to say, they have not proved themselves in the finals. A little more."

Yang Jian nodded and said: "Director Zhang's analysis is very reasonable. One is Xie Chen, who has advanced to the finals in the past two seasons and won the championship, and the other is James, who has not entered the finals for a long time, and James also lost to the Spurs in the finals last time. It is because of this kind of experience that everyone thinks that Xie Chen, who will win every finals, will definitely win and lose James. But in this series, the most important thing is not only Xie Chen and James, but the performance of Xie Chen's teammates, Irving and Love. , If Xie Chen really fulfills his promise, then his game will really be watched one less game. In more literary terms, everyone should watch and cherish it. After Xie Chen left the league, there will be no players like him again."

The game started quickly, with the Cavaliers starting: Irving, Korver, James, Love and Tristan Thompson.

The Lakers are: Xie Chen, Nick Young, Luol Deng, Randall and Mozgov.

Xie Chen is no stranger to the other four members of the Cavaliers, but he is still not used to Korver in the Cavaliers. Korver has been playing as a substitute for the Cavaliers before, and Korver did not play the last time he played against the Cavaliers.

JR Smith was absent for a period of time due to injury, and his state fluctuated after recovery. In the series against the Raptors, he was far worse than Korver and Derrick Williams.

"I don't know if this nerve knife will cause me trouble in the finals." Xie Chen glanced at JR Smith who was on the bench. Players like Korver and Williams, Xie Chen is not afraid. To what extent they can do, Xie Chen can probably guess that no matter how good they perform, they will not exceed Xie Chen's expectations, but people like JR are different. They may help you a lot, or they may cause you a lot of trouble.

After the game started, the Cavaliers' defense against Xie Chen was very clear. It was still the same as the Warriors' defense against Xie Chen. They defended close to the three-pointer, released a breakthrough, and then flanked to force Xie Chen to pass the ball.

Xie Chen didn't have a strong desire to attack. On the one hand, the relationship between him and James has eased a lot. They have become friends who talk about everything and respect each other. The Cavaliers also don't have Dellavedova who hurt him maliciously before. This opponent can't arouse Xie Chen's anger.

On the other hand, judging from the threat that the knights posed to Xie Chen, it wasn't too great. After all, the warriors had already fought, so why would they be afraid of the knights?

So Xie Chen wasn't in such a hurry, he distributed the ball as soon as he was double-teamed, looking for a suitable shooting opportunity, and seeing how his teammates felt. If his teammates really couldn't score, it would not be too late for Xie Chen to force the score.

LeBron James has a completely different mood from Xie Chen. Xie Chen has entered the finals every year for the past two years. He is no longer the rookie who was eager to show himself and prove himself as soon as he entered the finals.

James is no stranger to defending James’ Luol Deng. When Xie Chen and Luol Deng were still in the Heat two years ago, in the seven games between the Cavaliers and the Heat, Luol Deng was the main player defending James. James couldn't be guarded back then, let alone now.

Of course, James has also grown older in the past two years, and his competitive ability has declined slightly, but it is not obvious. As a role player, Luol Deng is not as good as a superstar like James in terms of maintaining his competitive state.

A person who wants to dominate the world and a person who only wants to clock in to work have completely different requirements for themselves.

"These guys haven't even made it to the finals, I have to drive them first." James thought to himself, and immediately broke through Luol Deng and went straight to the basket!
James soon faced former teammate Mozgov under the basket.

James knew Mozgov's ability too well. He knew that Mozgov couldn't cover himself in this situation, and he didn't even dare to cover himself, so he didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the basket for a one-handed dunk!
After all, Mozgov played under James for a year, and even last season, James was extremely majestic in the team, even surpassing the coach, so for the ball just now, when Mozgov saw James rushing in so aggressively, he instinctively gave way.

"LeBron's former teammates are afraid of him, just like when I played New York or the Miami Heat, they would also be afraid of me." Xie Chen also saw this through this ball. From this point of view, Xie Chen and James are both stars of the same level, but not all stars can do it.

Yang Jian said: "It can be seen that James is very excited to return to the finals. He is still as difficult to guard as when he wore the Heat jersey last time."

Immediately afterwards, James once again played Luol Deng in a low post single. This time James actually showed a back-up technique that is rarely seen. He first leaned his body against Luol Deng, and then used Jordan and Kobe’s favorite shoulder fake shakes in back-up singles.
"Hey, James is good at this ball. He probably stole from Jordan and Kobe. Luol Deng really can't defend against James, he can't defend against breakthroughs, and he can't defend against shooting." Seeing James's skillful moves, Zhang Weiping also praised him, but he didn't mention that James' leg movements in the final shot were not as good as Jordan's and Kobe's.

James came prepared, regardless of whether the opponent in the finals is the Lakers or the Warriors, it may not be so easy to win him.

Wade and Anthony were Xie Chen's teammates for the past two years, and James also learned from Wade and Anthony that Xie Chen's shooting ability may have been hidden all the time, but his post-up skills, including some other skills, have been gradually developed in the past three years, and he even stole some lessons from Wade and Anthony.

Seeing James scoring consecutive goals, Xie Chen felt a little provocative, and Xie Chen couldn't help but respond.

However, at this moment, Nick Yang seemed to see what Xie Chen meant, and stepped forward and said, "Boss, don't rush to make a move, let me respond to him!"

In my impression, Nick Yang has always been called Xie Chen by his name, and this is the first time he is called Boss.
