NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 110 Series Game Three
After the start of the first quarter, the Clippers had a very strong desire to attack. Perhaps this is the charm of the home court!
Li Chen is still in charge of organizing the offense in this game, and Andre Miller will not be able to play until the next game.

Li Chen used his ball-handling ability and wide vision to find the open space of his teammates to pass the ball.

Today, the Clippers demonstrated teamwork to the fullest. He disintegrated the opponent's defense by passing the ball quickly.

Li Chen used his threat, pick-and-roll and quick running to take the Mavericks players away, and then created many scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Today's teammates are very good. They made full use of the space, constantly cut into the penalty area and continued to shoot and free throw opportunities.

At the same time, Li Chen's three-pointer was also very powerful today. He hit two key shots and pushed the Mavericks back several times.

In addition, Michael Olowokandi is also very powerful. His rebounds have given the Clippers many opportunities to successfully complete the second attack under the basket.

In terms of defense, the Clippers still adopt a zone defense strategy first.

Tonight, the Mavericks' outside line only made about 30% of their three-pointers in the first quarter. They can only break through to the basket. This is the biggest reason why the Clippers can lead in the first quarter.

In the end, the Clippers led the Mavericks by 36 points 23-13.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"The Clippers played really well in the first quarter. The more they play, the less they look like a rookie who just made the playoffs." Kenny Smith joked.

Barkley nodded, "That's right, especially the key shots. Two three-pointers and an assist from Odom in the first quarter successfully suppressed the Mavericks. This is a team leader."

Kenny Smith nodded, and then said: "Let's take a look at the performance of the stars of the two teams. Nowitzki of the Mavericks scored 6 points and 5 rebounds. Li Chen of the Clippers scored 6 points in the first quarter. 5 assists."

At first it seemed that the performances of the two were similar, but judging from the number of shots, it was clear that they were superior.

Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki made 5 of 3 shots in the first quarter, 60% from the field
Li Chen of the Clippers took two shots and hit 100%.

Moreover, Li Chen's 5 assists are much higher than Nowitzki's 5 rebounds in terms of team contribution.

Barkley nodded, "Chen's vision is too outstanding, he is better than all current players."

Kenny Smith nodded, and then suddenly thought: "Charles, tell me, who is more stable, Li Chen or Duncan?"

"Hey, hey! Charles, Duncan is a player who has been baptized by the championship. How can this be compared?" Barkley looked like this comparison was unfair.

"Charles, I'm looking forward to meeting them."

Buckley thought for a while and said seriously: "Actually, I also want this oriental boy to be abused."

At this point, the two looked at each other, and then laughed together.

Watching rookies being abused in the NBA is a favorite thing for seniors to watch, because they have been through this too.

Clippers rest area.

"Coach Alvin, will we still defend in the second quarter?" Li Chen asked.

Alvin Gentry was a little surprised when he heard this, and murmured in his heart, isn't the effect of the defense in the first quarter very good?What do you mean by asking that?
Looking at the expectant eyes of his lover, Alvin Gentry expressed his anxiety, thinking, if he had no other strategies, would his lover be disappointed?

Alvin Gentry thought about it for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that if he put it on himself, he would be very disappointed.

So Alvin Gentry touched his bald head and combined with the experience of the previous two games, he began to think hard.

After a while, he had some thoughts and said: "It's definitely not possible to play zone defense all the time. If the Mavericks get up on the perimeter, it will be our nightmare."

He paused slightly, looked at the other Clippers players, and his eyes focused on Li Chen.

When he saw Li Chen's adoring eyes, Alvin Gentry felt beautiful in his heart.

Subsequently, Alvin Gentry talked about the tactical strategy of the second quarter.

Alvin Gentry's tactical strategy is to see who has an outside shooting rate, and Li Chen will go to defend him to death.

Li Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, his crazy hint was not in vain.

At this time, the second quarter of the game began.

The Mavericks attacked first, and Nash passed the ball to Van Exel who had just played.

Van Exel didn't care a bit about Corey Maggette's forward defense, and he made a three-pointer in the opening game.

36 to 26, the Mavericks showed their fangs at the beginning of the second quarter, and they were telling the Clippers that the king was back.

At the same time, Li Chen frowned slightly. He found that this Van Exel was really good at scoring. As long as he didn't defend him, he was very active.

At this time Li Chen was a little worried. He was really afraid that the other players of the Mavericks would get up on the perimeter. If that happened, it would be difficult for the Clippers.

"Chen, what are you thinking?" Corey Maggette reminded.

Li Chen came to his senses and said, "It's okay." He raised his hand to catch Corey Maggette's pass.

After a while, Li Chen saw the position of his teammates in his eyes.

At this moment, when Li Chen saw Van Exel standing in front of him again, the corners of Li Chen's mouth curled up.

He decided to try this guy's mentality, "Hey! Nick, you can't guard against me." As he said that, Li Chen raised his arms high.

Van Exel raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak, but his close defense proved that his mentality has fluctuated.

Li Chen raised the corners of his mouth, and then, without hesitation, shot Van Exel in the face.

Van Exel, who was emotionally aroused, hit Li Chen hard on the arm on impulse.

Swish!Being so disturbed by him, the basketball miraculously entered the net.

This scene made the fans cheer.

At the same time, Li Chen was also a little surprised. Originally, his goal was to bet that Van Exel would not let him shoot, and even fouled him.

To be honest, he was aiming for the free throw, but he never expected the goal to go in.

So Li Chen said sincerely: "Well... I'm really grateful to Nick."

Van Exel “…”

The referee's whistle sounded and Li Chen added a free throw.After a while, the ball was scored steadily.

The score of 40 to 26 was drawn again.

In the next round, the Clippers are still engaged in zone defense, and Van Exel will teach the Clippers how to behave.

When he was at the logo, he raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

This move stunned both the Clippers and Li Chen.

At the same time, Van Exel looked at Li Chen provocatively, and then shook his index finger.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he bared his snow-white teeth.

From then on, Li Chen defended Van Exel personally.

At this moment, Van Exel regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't provoke this oriental boy.

Van Eksel's logo three-pointer seemed like a switch, and the Mavericks started a three-point rain.

At the end of the second quarter, the Clippers lost 28-39.

However, the Clippers still led the Mavericks by two points with a total score of 64 to 62.
