NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 101 The Critical Moment (Two in One)

During this period, Odom frequently complained to Li Chen about why Nowitzki knew his shooting skills.

Of course Li Chen would not tell Odom that he taught him.

Odom was miserable by Nowitzki.

One minute into the second quarter, the Clippers trailed by 1 points 57-67.

"Hey! This time the Clippers are having a hard time playing. If the first half cannot keep the score in single digits, the Clippers will be even more difficult to play in the second half."

"Unexpectedly, Dirk Nowitzki learned Xiaochen's moves in such a short period of time."

Zhang Weiping, between the lines is full of dissatisfaction with Nowitzki.

During this period of time, Li Chen's hit rate was not good, and his efficiency was around 35%.

Li Chen looked around at where his teammates were at this time.

Li Chen noticed that Corey Maggette was running back at this time, trying to get rid of the defense. He could foresee that it would not be long before he would get rid of Van Exel's entanglement.

While thinking about it, Li Chen immediately decided to use his speed and breakthrough ability to attract the Mavericks' defense.

Thinking of this, Li Chen's legs suddenly exerted strength, and he broke through towards the basket like an arrow off the string.

Li Chen didn't slow down in disguise and went straight through Nash's defense.

Seeing Li Chen's aggression, the Mavericks players did not suspect him, and the defensive players involuntarily moved closer to Li Chen.

Li Chen successfully attracted the other party's attention.

At this time, his powerful vision saw that Corey Maggette had already rushed to the open space under the basket with lightning speed.

Li Chen did not hesitate, and passed the ball accurately to Corey Maggette.

After he received the ball, his eyes locked on the basket. At this moment, it was as if there was only the basket in front of him.

I saw him take off quickly and dunk the basketball into the basket hard.

59 to 67, the Clippers narrowed the score to single digits.

45 seconds left.

"Beautiful, Xiaochen used his deterrent power to attract most of the Mavericks' defense and created an excellent shooting space for Corey Maggette. This time the cooperation is perfect." Zhang Weiping praised full of praise road.

Sun Zhengping also nodded, and then added: "Actually, it's not just that, Xiaochen has made two-handed preparations. If the Mavericks' defense is not attracted, he can force a layup. Even if his current shooting percentage drops, but like This kind of shooting facing the basket, he still has a certain degree of certainty, which is also Xiaochen's cleverness."

Li Chen knew that if the defense was successful this time, it would bring great confidence to his teammates, so the defense must be successful this time.

Li Chen looked at Nash intently. He dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands, sometimes under his crotch.But Li Chen kept his eyes on the basketball.

Suddenly Nash started suddenly, allowing him to maximize his speed. Just like his nickname, he rushed towards Li Chen like a gust of wind.

Li Chen reacted immediately and blocked Nash's breakthrough path.

Li Chen could feel the distance between the two getting closer, and he could feel Nash's outstanding breathing. Li Chen knew that this was a key defense.

Li Chen adopted a sideways defensive posture, maintaining physical contact with the opponent, trying to limit Nash's room for movement.

Li Chen closely watched Nash's footsteps and dribbling movements. He was like a high-speed engine, constantly predicting his next move.

Li Chen's prediction brought great trouble to Nash, but Nash still wanted to make a final breakthrough.

So Nash suddenly changed direction, trying to get rid of Li Chen's defense.

Li Chen quickly adjusted his steps, moved his feet continuously, and stayed close to him, not giving him a chance.

At this time Nash made an attempt to shoot the action.

Li Chen stuck close to him, raised his hands, and tried his best to interfere with his sight and shooting angle.

Li Chen is 200cm tall and has a wingspan of 210cm.

Nash is 191cm tall and has a wingspan of 189cm.

Defensive Nash is simply not too simple.

Nash looked at Li Chen's raised big hand, feeling a little helpless.

He felt that if he forced a shot, he would be blocked.

At this moment, Nash has already made a decision. As long as the next fake move cannot fool the Eastern man, he will pass the ball.

However, at this moment, a big hand grabbed the basketball in his hand.

Nash secretly had a bad idea, and in a flash of his mind, he used his left foot as the axis, and his right foot took a step back to avoid Li Chen's steal.

But Li Chen's wingspan made great achievements, and his fingers will touch the basketball.

Li Chen flicked outward, and the ball escaped Nash's control.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen jumped towards the basketball like a cheetah spreading food.

From stealing to chasing the ball, he didn't feel stagnant at all, just like a well-written script, so smooth and silky.

Nash was unwilling to be robbed by Li Chen, he subconsciously chased after Li Chen.

But at this time Li Chen had rushed to the center line with the basketball, so Nash could only give up and watch Li Chen counterattack.

After Li Chen made the steal, he ran towards the frontcourt and arrived at his side's frontcourt in the blink of an eye.

At this time Li Chen jumped up, he could feel the air whistling past him, he could feel the sweat dripping down his cheeks, and then he fell hard to the ground.At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

When Li Chen felt the passage of time, he was already in front of the basket.

I saw him smashing the basketball in his hand into the basket, accompanied by a deafening sound.

Li Chen landed on one foot, and the basketball kept beating in front of his eyes, as if cheering for him.

Immediately afterwards, boos came from the stadium. Li Chen closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the boos.

Your booing is a different kind of approval, it will only make me stronger, Li Chen thought silently.

61 to 67, the Clippers shortened the score again.

30 seconds left.

The Mavericks attack.

This time Nash knew Li Chen's defensive ability. He learned from the previous lesson and didn't stick to the ball. He passed the ball to Finley near the baseline.

After receiving the ball, Finley broke through to the basket, causing Corey Maggette to foul.

Finley got two free throw opportunities.

Finley made a free throw and then took the basketball from the referee.

Bang!
The first free throw bounced out of the frame.

In the second free throw, Finley adjusted his mentality and the basketball was hit steadily.

61 is better than 68
At the same time, there are 20 seconds left on the clock.

The Clippers have one shot clock left.

Li Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that in the last minute, their offensive effect was surprisingly powerful.

As long as this goal is scored, there is only a five-point difference.

Li Chen held the ball across the front court, and he kept observing the situation on the court.

At this time, Maggette ran back and successfully threw off Van Exel, raising his right hand high.

Seeing that Corey Maggette was open, Li Chen passed the ball to him without hesitation.

Just the moment he raised his hand, Li Chen passed the basketball. Now Li Chen is more and more like a point guard.

After Maggette received the ball, he showed his speed and strength.

However, the Mavericks are not ordinary people, and LaFrentz is a good shot blocker.

I saw him jumping high. Although he failed to block Maggette's shot, it also greatly interfered with his offensive rhythm.

I saw the basketball hit the basket and come out.

At this time, the physically strong Michael Olowokandi keenly seized the opportunity, and he jumped high to grab the key rebound.

At this time, "Odom roared: "Here. "

Without hesitation, Michael Olowokandi quickly passed the basketball to Odom, providing a new opportunity for the Clippers offense.

After Odom received the ball, he adjusted his posture, looked focused, and then threw the basketball in his hand.

But at this moment, Nowitzki caught up with Odom at a critical moment.

I saw him flying up, his big hand was like the Five Fingers Mountain of the Buddha, and it was imprinted fiercely on the basketball.

Snapped!After the crisp sound, the basketball flew off the sideline and fell into the crowd. He blocked Odom's shot.

At the same time, cheers from mountains and tsunami sounded in the space center gymnasium.

They cheer for Nowitzki.

Hearing this wave of cheers, Odom was a little upset, muttering words that others could not understand.

The referee blew his whistle as the basketball flew off the sideline.

The Clippers now have the last 5 seconds of attack time.

At the same time, Alvin Gentry called a timeout, obviously Alvin Gentry also wanted to make this play.

Alvin Gentry set up a pick-and-roll to cover a [-]-pointer.

At the same time, Nelson looked towards the Clippers. The Clippers have grown through seven hard-fought playoff games. They are much stronger than when they met for the first time. Especially Li Chen, he convinced his teammates even more Yes, and playing smarter and smarter.

oops!I really want to coach this Oriental boy, it will be very interesting, maybe he can make the idea in my head come true.

Li Chen didn't know that he was being targeted by the mad scientist.

After returning from the pause.

The Mavericks' defense was very active, and Nelson obviously made arrangements during the timeout. He didn't want the Clippers to continue to score.

But the Clippers won't give up on this offense either.

Because their Clippers are a weak team, every point in every game is very important to him.So as long as they have a chance, they will not give up a game, every attack.

Li Chen stood outside the sideline and watched his teammates keep running back. He raised the basketball with both hands, waiting for the best opportunity to pass the ball.

At this moment, Li Chen's eyes lit up, and after unremitting efforts, Wang Zhizhi finally succeeded in turning back.

Seeing him run out of the three-point line in the blink of an eye.

Li Chen quickly passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, and then ran towards the field by himself.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi passed the basketball back to Li Chen, and Van Exel, who was defending Li Chen at the same time, was just blocked by Wang Zhizhi.

Li Chen beat Wang Zhizhi's barrier, and he jumped high.

But both Li Chen and Wang Zhizhi underestimated Van Exel's flexibility.

I saw him bypassing Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll cover, and he jumped high with all his strength.

But he is only a small man of 185cm, it is almost impossible for him to block Li Chen.

The height gap between him and Li Chen is too big, so it's just futile to do so.

However, Li Chen had flashes of inspiration. In the blink of an eye, he withdrew his hands, his waist and abdomen tightened suddenly, and then he made a movement of pulling the bar with his backhand.

Then, without accident, Van Exel hit Li Chen on the arm.

Although he was hit hard on the arm, Li Chen's hands holding the ball were very steady and he forcibly threw the basketball in his hand.

At the same time, the whistle for the end of the game time also arrived as scheduled.

Li Chen ignored the whistle and watched the basketball's trajectory expectantly.At this moment, time seems to be frozen in this moment.

The basketball kept spinning, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

When it was over the rim, it flew into the rim accurately, making a crisp netting sound.

3+1.

Li Chen scored a buzzer and a 3+1 at the last minute.

His sudden whim succeeded, which made him hold his right hand excitedly.

At this time, the Clippers were boiling, and this goal made the Clippers players seem to have a booster.

The teammates rushed towards Li Chen excitedly, hugging and celebrating this crucial score.

"Chen, this shot is too beautiful."

"Yeah yeah!"

Li Chen could feel the momentum of the Clippers rising.

After a while, Li Chen stood in front of the free throw line.

Swish!The basketball is firmly in the basket.

65 to 68, the point difference between the two teams is only 3 points.

"The Clippers were 10 points behind, and they chased 1 points within 7 minute. They showed their super toughness. Even if they lost to the Mavericks in this series, they deserve respect."

Sun Zhengping said with emotion.

Zhang Weiping nodded first, and then retorted: "With the current momentum of the Clippers, it is no problem to win this series."

Hearing Zhang Weiping's words, Sun Zhengping could only smile wryly.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Nowitzki continued to play steadily, opening with a Golden Rooster independent jumper.

65:70.

Li Chen dribbled the ball through the frontcourt.

Li Chen passed the ball to Corey Maggette, and he quickly cut inside.

Corey Maggette understood. When Li Chen cut in, his basketball had already been passed.

After Li Chen received the basketball, Finley, who was supplementing the defense, stood in front of him.

Li Chen's upper body moved left and right, Finley's center of gravity was cheated, and he passed by him like a bolt of lightning.

Even if Finley wanted to foul, he didn't have a chance.

After breaking through Finley's supplementary defense, Li Chen had just jumped up when Lavlenz, a shot-blocker, jumped up high.

His eyes were full of confidence, and he was confident of blocking Li Chen's layup.

At this moment, Li Chen's waist and abdomen tightened, and then he repeated his trick and continued to pull the bar backhand for a layup.

You know, a backhand pull-up layup is extremely easy to cause fouls by defenders.

Sure enough, just as Li Chen expected, he was knocked down by LaFrentz, and the basketball was hollowed into the net under the support of the lever expert.

Li Chen successfully scored 2+1.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Li Chen stood on the free throw line, let out a long breath, and then Li Chen shot decisively.

Bang!Li Chen's shot was short, but at this moment the A-level [Magic Ball] skill was triggered.

68:70.

At this moment, the Clippers players gathered to celebrate.

Nash saw Nelson make a gesture.He nodded to show he understood.

At this time, Li Chen's face suddenly turned ugly, because Nash of the Mavericks had already passed the ball.

"Replay, hurry up." Li Chen reminded his teammates loudly.

As he said that, he ran towards his backcourt.

The Mavericks want to improve their offensive tempo.

Although the Clippers did not lose points because of this, the defense was also greatly affected.

An easy layup by Finley successfully scored two points.

68:72.

Li Chen picked up the ball, stood on the baseline, and after stabilizing his rhythm, he passed the basketball to Corey Maggette.

Corey Maggette dribbled the ball across the frontcourt and passed to Li Chen.

Li Chen leaned forward, held the ball at his waist, and made a three-threat gesture.

Seeing this scene, Van Exel felt a little nervous, not knowing what Li Chen would do next.
