Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 248 The Best Head Coach!

I didn’t expect that Jessica Alba really knew a lot about basketball. No wonder Scarlett would recommend her to communicate with Xie Chen. It’s different to have professional guidance. Since you want to dive, you should perform more professionally , Not only can't fool the referee when it saves time, but even the fans can't laugh or cry when they see it, it will be embarrassing.

Superstars such as Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Wade all have flops that are so fake that they can't bear to look directly at them. Xie Chen hopes that every time he flops is realistic.

Maybe many people are very shameless about flopping, including Pat Riley before. He said that those European players have broken the atmosphere of the NBA and made the NBA no longer a pure man's battle. But with the development and changes of the NBA now, There are too many different styles and skills in NBA culture. If you don't flop, if others flop, you will be the one who suffers.

Moreover, Xie Chen's many skills make outsiders mistakenly think that Xie Chen is strong, which will make the opponent use more strength to maliciously foul, but in fact, Xie Chen's physical endurance is not high when he is not using skills, which is inevitable. cause injury.

According to what Alba said, Xie Chen first found the feeling of being hit by an elbow in his heart, and then made a corresponding performance.

Alba was obviously dissatisfied: "It's too exaggerated, Mr. MVP, when you made another layup, you accidentally slipped the basketball and let the referee mistakenly think that you were beaten by a defensive player."

Xie Chen stood on the spot and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that acting well was really not an easy task. First, he had to completely cover up the panic of slipping his hand, and then, he had to show the expression of anger and pain after being beaten. , in addition to facial expressions, body expressions, especially arm movements, are also very important. After being hit by someone on the wrist, what is the movement of the arms? Maybe in order to be more realistic, you need to find physical contact in the air, and all these things It must be done in an instant during the game.

Xie Chen thought for a long time before making this performance. Alba smiled slightly: "This performance is very good. I think the highest state of flopping is to really fall. I know that you don't learn to perform flops to cheat fouls, but to learn to flop. To protect yourself, instead of reacting in advance before David West hurts you, I hope you will perform after he makes the move. The effect of his full push, physical contact is real, and the referee can't judge whether your performance is real or exaggerated."

Alba is right. I didn’t expect her, a Hollywood movie star, to know so much about the NBA. However, if there is real physical contact before performing, Xie Chen is still at risk of getting injured. Too fake. What a contradiction!

Xie Chen and Alba communicated for more than half an hour. Xie Chen's experience in acting has improved a lot. Alba contributed a lot. This beautiful woman did not chat with Xie Chen for too long. Chen Duo care about Scarlett.

After training the next day, Xie Chen and his teammates paid attention to the other teams that were facing off in the playoffs. At this time, the Eagles, the third in the Eastern Conference, and the Wizards, the sixth in the Eastern Conference, were in full swing. In Game 2 of the team's second series, the Hawks dominated the first game without any suspense, but this one seems to be quite difficult.

The Wizards had the upper hand from the very beginning. John Wall had 16 assists in the first three quarters. The most amazing thing was veteran Paul Pierce, who repeatedly made three-pointers at critical moments to help the team. With a victory, the two teams tied the series one to one!

Unexpectedly, the unstoppable Eagles in the regular season were forced to a 1-1 draw by their opponents at their home court in the first round of the playoffs. I believe the whole Eagles team must be very disappointed in this result. Paul Pierce, an old guy like Wade, both It was in the playoffs that he suddenly looked youthful and in excellent condition. No wonder people always say that the playoffs are dominated by old players.

John Wall also performed extremely well in these two games, at least in terms of assists, Xie Chen was out of reach. He, Irving, and Rose were all competing with Xie Chen for the position of "the number one point guard in the Eastern Conference playoffs".

Soon, the second game of the series between the Warriors and the Pelicans followed. Xie Chen couldn't help being shocked by the fanatical fans of the Warriors at home and the suffocating atmosphere of the away game. Davis's mood at the moment can also be empathized.

The Pelicans have already felt the difference between the playoffs and the regular season in the first game. After today's opening, they calmed down a lot. Gordon and Davis both played well. They once led the Pelicans to lead the score. However, Soon the sharpshooter Stephen Curry showed his power and hit three-pointers one after another. The regular season three-pointer record was lost to Xie Chen. It seemed that Curry wanted to create a playoff three-pointer record.

Watching Curry hit three-pointers again and again, Xie Chen asked his teammates: "Does anyone know who holds the record for three-pointers in a single season playoffs? How many are there?"

Before Hassan Whiteside checked with his mobile phone, the veteran Haslem gave the answer: "It's Reggie Miller, who made 58 three-pointers in one attack in the 2000 playoffs."

"58 three-pointers?" Xie Chen silently calculated in his heart. According to Curry's average number of three-pointers per game, as long as the Warriors can reach the Western Conference Finals, this record will be broken. We are moving towards a record, Xie Chen smiled, how could Xie Chen not accompany such a thing?

The game between the Warriors and the Pelicans reached the most critical fourth quarter. In the last minute, the Pelicans were only four points behind and still had a good chance. Curry slipped to the bottom line to catch the ball, quickly jumped up to shoot, and shot again. Hit a three-pointer!

Even Wade couldn't help but marvel: "Oh, this guy is really shooting crazy. This is his seventh three-pointer in the game, right? I didn't expect his three-pointer level to still not drop in the playoffs."

The Warriors fell into madness at home, a sea of ​​yellow surged, and the Pelicans seemed to be slowly losing the second series!

At this moment, Xie Chen really hoped that Davis could lead the team to counterattack, but unfortunately, he also knew that this was not realistic, Davis is also a rookie in the playoffs!

At this moment, the Warriors attacked, and Curry had just received the ball at the top of the arc. An unexpected scene happened. Anthony Davis asked himself to defend Curry alone! Davis walked up to Curry. Curry didn't move the ball, but shook his head while spitting out the braces!

God! In such a tense atmosphere, in such a critical game, Curry shook his head from side to side! Is this an expression of disdain for Anthony Davis guarding him?

The fans at the scene were simply crazy, and the players on the Heat's side also laughed one by one.

Hassan laughed and said, "I guess Anthony Davis must really want to go over and straighten Stephen's head."

"Should we call him "Shakehead Library" in the future? Oh, look, even Cole can't stand it, it's called a timeout!"

"Look, Mario, it's because time is running out."

Although Curry is suspected of being pretentious, he set an example for Xie Chen. What's wrong with the playoffs? You can also play and win easily in the playoffs. Xie Chen feels that he just listens. People have said too many times that "the playoffs are different from the regular season", which leads to paying too much attention to the playoffs psychologically, completely losing the mentality of the regular season, and playing too cautiously in the first game.

What level of competition is the playoffs? You should experience it yourself instead of relying on what others say. Xie Chen thought about it this way and felt a lot more comfortable.

In the end, watching Curry easily defeat the Pelicans, leading the series with an absolute advantage of two to zero.

"The Warriors are already 2-0. As the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, we have to win another game against the Pacers in the next game!" Xie Chen secretly said, a strong team has nothing to say to a weak team. Rolling, there is no need to fail a game.

The next day, the Heat or the NBA ushered in a major news, that is, Heat coach Eric Spoelstra was elected as the best coach of the season!

Xie Chen and his teammates knew the good news early in the morning, and they all came to the arena to congratulate Coach Spoelstra. Coach Spoelstra couldn't hide his excitement. This is undoubtedly the greatest recognition and praise for the coach.

The NBA Best Coach Award, also known as the Red Auerbach Trophy, is named after the Celtics coach "Cardinal" Auerbach who won nine NBA championships. It was presented to 130 media from the United States and Canada. In the voting selection, Coach Spoelstra received a total of 67 first place votes, with a total of 513 points, while Steve Kerr, who led the Golden State Warriors to the best record in team history this season, received a total of 56 first place votes, with a total of 471 points , unfortunately lost to Sipo!

Amidst the jubilation, Wade stepped forward and embraced Coach Spoelstra affectionately: "Congratulations, coach, you have finally been recognized. This is an honor you should have received a long time ago."

"Thank you, thank you." Coach Spoelstrom hugged Wade for a while, as if tears were about to come out of his eyes. It could be seen that he was also very excited at this moment.

Coach Spoelstra has always been regarded as Pat Riley's puppet. In the past few years, although Spoelstra led the team to the finals four times and won the NBA championship, the highest honor, for two consecutive years, he is still not recognized by the outside world. The reason is very simple , the Heat have LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. These are three superstars who are at their peak at the same time, and there is a helper like Ray Allen. within reach.

But this year, when everyone is not optimistic about the Heat, coach Spoelstra dared to use new players to lead the team to the No. 1 record in the Eastern Conference, which really surprised many people.

Sipo and Wade hugged each other tightly for 20 seconds. Perhaps the two of them had a lot of words in this silent hug. Xie Chen suddenly remembered that Wade scolded Sipoh three years ago, "disappear from my eyes immediately. !” In such a situation, Spoelstra even excused Wade after the game. This season, Spoelstrom also tolerated many things about rookie Xie Chen. From the point of respecting players and protecting players, Spoeldo did indeed Deserves the best coach award.

After embracing Wade, Spoelstra was the first to walk up to Xie Chen and took the initiative to embrace Xie Chen. He knew that without Xie Chen, the Heat would not be able to win the first place in the East, and without Xie Chen, he would not be able to get the best coach.

"This award is half of yours." Si Bo said to Xie Chen with a smile.

"I don't mind if you give me half of him." Xie Chen joked.

Unexpectedly, Coach Spoel said seriously: "If you really want, I can do it."

Xie Chen repeatedly declined: "Don't hurt me, I'm afraid that the Cardinal Church will suddenly appear in my dream one night with a cigar in its mouth."

Everyone burst into laughter. Since the Heat still had no game the next day, all the players were relatively relaxed throughout the day and there was no pressure.

On the second day, although there was no game between the Heat and the Pacers, there were still three playoff games, one of which Xie Chen and the Heat had to pay attention to. The second game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics was also the three games One of the first games played.

The Cavaliers are the Heat’s biggest enemy in the East. Every game the Cavaliers win or lose is crucial to the Heat. No one expects the Cavaliers to be eliminated before they meet the Heat. Although this is unrealistic, everyone does. looking forward to.

The meaning of LeBron's existence seems to be to play in the finals, so the Heat don't want to meet a guy who should be in the finals for granted.

In this game, the Cavaliers got off to a smooth start and suppressed the Celtics in terms of score. The Celtics team seemed to have low morale and no desire to win or lose. Xie Chen knew what the Celtics were like. It is impossible for a guy to bring the slightest obstacle to James.

And the facts are indeed true. Irving and Love performed extremely well, especially James. When defending a layup, even if the defender is a center, James can easily make a layup under physical confrontation.

Xie Chen was also envious in his heart: "It's so easy, the success rate is too high, it can be described as simple and rough, no special skills are required, just use the body to squeeze the counter to leave room, and then release the ball Just go to the basket, now my Westbrook breakthrough skills have been fully integrated, next game, if I have the opportunity, I should improve James' layup skills!"

At present, Xie Chen's James layup skills are still in the initial fusion state. Even if all 60 fusion points are used, they cannot be fully integrated. Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, Xie Chen should mainly improve the fusion degree.

In the end, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Celtics at home and won the second game of the series. James scored 30+10+8, Love scored 21+7, and Irving scored 26+6+6. The performance of the giants is daunting.

Xie Chen couldn't help but think, even if Wade really returned to his peak state, what is the probability of the dual core winning against the Big Three?
