NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 107 Kobe's Invitation

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers showed a fierce offensive momentum.

The Clippers became closer under the leadership of Li Chen. Li Chen's broad vision made him destined to be a top point guard. He kept sending exquisite passes, and then his teammates sent basketballs to the Mavericks' basket one by one.

Every attack of the Clippers will bring tremendous pressure to the Mavericks who are not good at defense.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers players showed their team spirit against the Mavericks and explained what it means to be the king of the fourth quarter.

As the game progressed to the final critical moment, the Clippers were 121 to 119. They first fell behind by 16 points and became 2 points ahead of the Mavericks.

They can feel the call of the goddess of victory, just wait for the last 10 seconds.They will be able to get two victories in the away game, which is really important for the Clippers' next game.

They tried their best to stop the Mavericks' offense and try to maintain their lead.

However, the goddess of victory seems to have made a big joke with them. He is not partial to the Clippers, and the Clippers failed to keep the fruits of victory in the end.

In the last 10 seconds of the game, the Mavericks launched a final sprint.

Nowitzki, as the leader and core player of the Mavericks, has shown a calm and calm mentality.

Facing the Clippers' tight defense, he cleverly found a breakthrough and successfully shot a three-pointer, causing Odom to foul.This makes Odom fall into self-blame.

This foul sent the entire Space Center Arena into a frenzy.

This made the Clippers players feel very uncomfortable, especially Odom.

Nowitzki withstood the pressure and made all three free throws.

In the end, the Clippers narrowly lost to the Mavericks by one point, 121 to 122.

After the game, Li Chen saw Odom's expression of self-reproach, and he patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Lamar, you don't have to do this, your choice is not wrong, Dirk made 4 of 4 three-pointers today, If you don't foul, there is a 90% chance of being killed. So fouling is the best option."

"That's right! Chen, you're right, Lamar, you don't have to blame yourself." Other teammates followed Li Chen's words and persuaded.

The words between Li Chen and his teammates made Odom feel better.

At this time, Odom sighed slightly: "It's a pity, if you lose, you can't have a barbecue with Zai Chen."

Li Chen "..."

The other teammates also roared with laughter.

At the same time, Alvin Gentry was relieved to see that his players were not depressed and demoralized by the loss.

At this time, he set his sights on Li Chen. He was really a magical boy.

Although the Clippers performed well in the game, the final result was not satisfactory.

But as a professional basketball team, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. It only depends on who can get out of the failure first.Apparently the Clippers did.

During the handshake ceremony, Li Chen couldn't help admiring: "Dirk, your performance tonight is amazing."

"Chen, you're not bad either. Your passing is no worse than Steve's."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Post-match press conference.

"Mr. Li Chen, what do you think of your performance tonight?"

The implication of this reporter is that if he had played better, the Clippers would not have lost.

but……

"I'm very satisfied with my performance tonight." Li Chen replied truthfully.

This does not seem like a lie. He is really satisfied, because he can still achieve a double-double without the system. Of course he is satisfied.

But hearing this in the ears of the reporters, they secretly scolded Li Chen for being cunning.

After a while, the reporter asked Li Chen how he felt about winning the Rookie of the Year award.

Li Chen thought for a while and said truthfully: "To be honest, I really don't feel anything."

Li Chen didn't lie. Isn't it normal to have a system to achieve this?
"Why don't you feel anything? Is it because you don't care about this award?" The reporter asked sharply.

"No, I still care about this award. But I don't think this award is my most important focus. For me, what is more important is to continue to improve my skills and abilities and contribute to the team. A greater contribution.”

This statement made the reporter a little disappointed, and then he continued to ask: "Then what are your expectations for your future development?"

"My expectation is to become a better player and achieve more in my career. I will continue to train hard, constantly improve myself, and work hard to achieve these goals."

"Thank you for your answer. I wish you better results in the future!"

"Thank you! I will try my best!"

At this time, a reporter asked with a smile: Mr. Li Chen, what do you think of the referee's penalty today? "

Li Chen looked at the reporter's schadenfreude and was a little speechless, but he still spoke nonsense indifferently: "There is nothing wrong with the punishment."

But the reporter is still relentless, "But we saw that they made two misjudgments."

Li Chen's liver ached, and he secretly swore in his heart that if the referee was still so shameless in the next game, he would curse the referee even if he drank it and his character collapsed.

Losing his thoughts, Li Chen said with a smile: "You also said that it was a misjudgment. After all, the referee is also a human being, and human beings will make mistakes. If it is two times, our Clippers team will not care."

the next day.

Kobe's call came as promised.

"Yesterday's game was such a pity." Kobe said calmly.

But Li Chen now has Kobe in his mind, holding the phone and holding back his annoying smile.

"It's okay, isn't it normal to lose? At least it's only a point." Li Chen bit the point hard.

Hearing this, the smiling Kobe on the other side of the phone suddenly froze on his face.

Kobe knew even with his toes that Li Chen was talking about the Lakers.

"Come to the football game tonight."

Obviously, Kobe is flexing his muscles.

Li Chen curled his lips and said, "No."

"What do you mean?" Bi asked puzzled.

I do the same at home and save money.

Kobe "..."

Kobe Bryant is sure that Li Chen is one of the most stingy players in NBA history.

Skechers has released the news and signed a lifetime contract with Li Chen. Although Skechers is not comparable to Nike and Adidas, it is also a lifetime contract!

This lifetime contract has made Kobe envious for a long time. Even so, no one like Li Chen is so stingy.

While thinking, Kobe gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you the ticket."

"Boss Bryant is arrogant." Li Chen said hastily.

Kobe was stunned at first, and then felt like he was being cheated.
