NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 112 Counterattack ([-] in [-])

Li Chen advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Michael Olowokandi took the initiative to cover Li Chen in the pick-and-roll.

Li Chen used Michael Olowokandi's cover to pull out the shooting space, and then he lifted the ball above his head, his elbows bent, his waist, abdomen, and back muscles tensed.

Through the transfer of this force, his shooting action is full of power and stability.

Then, the muscles in his muscular legs tensed, and he bounced like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

With his knees pushing up and his body extending rapidly, his vertical leaping ability is astonishing.

The moment it's in the air, his arms and wrists naturally push the basketball forward.

He straightens his arm, flips his wrist, and the basketball rotates away from his fingers as he moves.

After the shot, he maintained an elegant posture, with his arms extended naturally, as if a dancer paused in the air for a moment.

"Oh! God! This is the most perfect three-point jump shot I have ever seen. I really can't imagine that a three-point shot can be so perfect." Barkley said in shock.

"Yes! It's really perfect. If we don't score this goal, it would be a crime."

At the same time, Li Chen's right hand, which was in the shooting posture, suddenly clenched into a fist, and he knew that the ball had been won.

I saw Li Chen running towards his own backcourt without looking at the result of the shot.

The moment the basketball flies in the air, it seems like time freezes.

It moves across the sky in a graceful and agile manner, like a shining star.

Its trajectory is so smooth, as if guided by an invisible force.

From one extreme to the other, it arcs through the air in a perfect arc with unparalleled grace.

Every time it rotates, it brings a mysterious magic power, like an elegant dancer, showing graceful dance postures on its stage, it is so charming and intoxicating, like a masterpiece of painstaking efforts by a painting master .

Swish!The basketball crashed into the net, and immediately afterwards, the Staples Center gymnasium sounded the cheers of fans like a sea.

They cheered for Li Chen's elegant posture, and they cheered for Li Chen's "confidence" after shooting.

At the same time, Li Chen's elegant shooting posture was continuously played back on the big screen.

They cheered, they shouted.

The corners of Li Chen's mouth curled up, revealing a confident smile.

In terms of shooting standards, he said that he is the second, and no one can be called the first.

Because the system skills will subtly correct his shooting movements, his shooting movements will gradually become perfect.

82:94.

Li Chen made a three-pointer and told the Mavericks that the Clippers are going to counterattack. Are you ready?
At this moment, the Mavericks players felt inexplicably tense.This emotion comes out of nowhere, but it is so real.

At the same time, this clean three-pointer also inspired the Clippers players.

After a while, the Clippers set up their defensive formation.

Li Chen stood at the core of the defense near the free throw line, and the other four players surrounded Li Chen.

Nash held the ball and advanced to the top of the key. Elton Brand defended closely, putting pressure on Nash and preventing him from shooting a three-pointer comfortably.

Seeing that there was no chance for a three-pointer, Nash passed the ball to Nowitzki.

After Nowitzki received the ball, Odom defended closely to prevent him from shooting.

Nowitzki made a turnaround jumper, but the turnaround jumper is very difficult, and the chance of scoring is less than 20%.

However, Nowitzki was very powerful today, and the goal was still scored.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

82:96.

Seeing Nowitzki's performance, Li Chen was a little surprised. He kind of saw the shadow of Nuo Tianwang back then.

Nowitzki's outstanding performance made Li Chen feel uneasy.

Clippers offense.

Li Chen continued to call Michael Olowokandi to pick and roll, but how could the same routine succeed twice?

Li Chen also knew this, so he did not continue to shoot three-pointers this time, but used Michael Olowokande's pick-and-roll screen to initiate a breakthrough.

Li Chen's breakthrough layup, Li Chen's breakthrough has been deeply experienced by the Mavericks and the Clippers several times.

So they absolutely cannot let it go.

Finley and LaFrentz chose to flank Li Chen.

At the same time, seeing Elton Brand being left open, Li Chen passed the ball decisively.

The reason why the Mavericks emptied Elton Brand was that from the third quarter to the fifth minute, after he was replaced by Alvin Gentry, his performance was mediocre, with only two points and a free throw.

So if the Mavericks don't short him, who will he short?
But even so, Li Chen passed the ball to Elton Brand.

Although this will put huge pressure on Elton Brand, the belief of his teammates is not his biggest motivation?

Elton Brand, who received the basketball, let out a deep breath, and his eyes were full of determination.

I saw him raising his arms high, leaping high, and when he jumped to the commanding height, he pushed the basketball out of his hand vigorously.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

85 to 96, the score is poor, constantly approaching single digits.

Elton Brand hit a three-pointer to tell the Mavericks that there is a price to pay for leaving me short.

Nelson held his shoulders and frowned. At this moment, he felt that the Clippers were really too difficult to deal with.

The offensive rhythm of the two teams was very fast, and it only took 30 seconds for the two teams to attack three times.

In transition between offense and defense, Nash advanced with the ball.

Van Exel, Nowitzki and Finley moved quickly, and LaFrentz looked for opportunities inside.

Li Chen raised his hands and stared at Nash, not giving him any chance to breathe.

His flexible feet and sharp reflexes made it difficult for Nash to break through.

Odom tried his best to use his wingspan and speed to limit Nowitzki's space.

But it is very difficult for him to restrict Nowitzki now, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Brand stood under the basket, ready to intercept Finley's attack at any time.

Then Nash passed the ball to Nowitzki.

Li Chen immediately chose to pinch Nowitzki. Nowitzki cannot be allowed to make frequent shots, because he has a feeling that if the old driver surrenders, it will be their nightmare.

While Li Chen flanked Nowitzki, Brand immediately stepped forward to fill Nash's position.

At the same time, Nowitzki tried to break through, but Li Chen rushed over quickly, and he didn't give him any chance.

Li Chen and the two formed an iron wall, which put Nowitzki in trouble.

Li Chen is good at steals, and Nowitzki knows it all too well, and he doesn't have the confidence to score a basketball under the double-team.

So he chose to pass the ball to Finley.

After Finley received the pass, Corey Maggette didn't give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

So he tried to break through and tear through the Clippers' defense.

But Finley tried to break through several times and was blocked by Corey Maggette.

On the other side, LaFrentz saw that the offense was blocked and quickly ran to the three-point line, hoping to hit a key three-pointer.

So he raised his hand and shouted.

However, Li Chen, who has a strong vision, saw this scene in his eyes.

He knows that this wonderful center for this era is fully capable of shooting three-pointers.

So I couldn't leave him alone, so I reminded him loudly: "Michael, follow LaFrentz."

Michael Olowokandi did not hesitate. He followed Florenz to the outside and closely guarded LaFrenz to prevent him from shooting a three-pointer. His excellent defense prevented LaFrenz from taking a smooth shot, forcing him to He passed the ball to Nowitzki.

Seeing the basketball going around and returning to the hands of the old driver, Li Chen cursed inwardly, and then he chose to pinch Nowitzki again.

Nowitzki tried to break through again, but Li Chen and Odom had a good understanding. Their fierce defense made Nowitzki complain endlessly.

At the same time, there are still 3 seconds in the attack time, and Nowitzki also knows that time is running out.then……

Just when Nowitzki was forcing a shot, Van Exel rushed out with his hands raised high, signaling Nowitzki to pass the ball.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen secretly cried out in his heart.

You know, Van Exel's three-pointer at the logo position in the first half is still vivid in his mind at this time, and it is easy to cause accidents if he is released now.

So he reminded loudly: "Cory, don't let him shoot."

Corey Maggette also knew that Van Exel's hand was against the sky today, so he rushed towards him without any hesitation.

However, Van Exel still shot the basketball unswervingly.

Swish!The basketball hit the net.

Corey Maggette was still a step too late and failed to block the shot. In the end, the Clippers failed to prevent the Dallas Mavericks' offense.

But at this moment, the whistle sounded, which made Corey Maggette flustered. The referee wouldn't call himself a foul, would he?He didn't commit a foul just now!
Just as Corey Maggette was thinking about it, the referee made a gesture to invalidate the shot.

It turned out that the Dallas Mavericks' offensive clock had run out just before Van Exel's shot.

The fans saw that the Dallas Mavericks' shot was invalid, and they immediately set off a stormy sea of ​​shouts.

At the same time, the big screen also began to replay the slow-motion shot of Van Exel just shot.

Sure enough, there was no problem with this penalty. Before Van Exel took action, the attack time had reached zero.

The sharp reversal made the Clippers players ecstatic, and they completed a perfect defense.

The score is still 85 to 96.

There are still 36 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

At the same time, seeing that the Clippers were about to start, Nelson immediately called a timeout to interrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm.

In the Clippers dugout, Alvin Gentry praised the players' performance, especially Li Chen.

After a while, the timeout ended, and the two teams continued the next game.

Elton Brand threw a frontcourt inbounds. Although the Mavericks' timeout interrupted the Clippers' offensive rhythm, it also saved the Clippers some offensive time.

After all, there is a big time gap between the baseline serve and the front court sideline serve.

Li Chen kept running back in order to get rid of Van Exel's entanglement, but despite his short stature, he was very flexible, and Li Chen couldn't get rid of him for a while.

At the same time, other Clippers players were constantly changing positions, pulling away the Dallas Mavericks players and creating opportunities for Li Chen to catch the ball.

At this moment, Li Chen finally made a successful reverse run. He raised his right arm high and signaled Elton Brand to pass the ball to him.

Elton Brand's eyes are bright and he releases the ball quickly.

Li Chen successfully caught Elton Brand's pass.

At this moment, Van Exel, who was like a dog's skin plaster, posted it again.

Li Chen holds the ball with his back to prevent him from stealing.

At this moment, Nash's eyes flashed, and he realized that this was a good opportunity to steal.

So he rushed towards Li Chen suddenly.

Li Chen saw a figure rushing toward him out of the corner of his eye. He immediately realized that Nash was going to steal, but Li Chen couldn't just sit back and wait.

At the same time, Nash stretched out his right hand like lightning and shot towards the basketball.

Li Chen, who was already on guard, quickly changed his position, tightened the ball, and at the same time protected the ball with his arms.

At this moment, Van Exel also keenly sensed that this was a good opportunity.

So the moment Li Chen escaped Nash's steal, Van Erkesel's steal hit Li Chen again like a wave.

You must know that Li Chen's reflexes are very strong. In a flash of thought, he threw the basketball towards the floor in front of the gap between the two.

Then he used his agility and flexibility to quickly squeeze between the two of them.

When Li Chen squeezed past the two, he dribbled and broke through in one go.

But Nash and Van Essexel did not give up. They followed Li Chen closely like two dedicated bodyguards, trying to find opportunities to steal.

Li Chen felt their hot pursuit, he knew that he continued to face the danger of being robbed.

But he still didn't panic in his heart. He knew clearly that he couldn't panic and had to pass the ball as soon as possible.

Because LaFrentz under the basket had already rushed towards him, he was a little bit overwhelmed by the two flanking him. If he added another person, the attack would definitely fail.

There are only two options now, one is to pass the ball, and the other is to shoot now, it depends on luck whether you make it or not.

But without the blessing of the fairy ball, this kind of gambling luck is simply courting death.

So, now he has only one option to pass, and he already has a pass target.

At this moment, Odom reminded loudly near the three-point line: "Chen, here."

Hearing Odom's reminder, he immediately made a ready pass action.

Nash sensed Li Chen's intention and ran towards Odom quickly, trying to interfere with the pass.

At this moment, Van Exel seemed to have a tacit understanding with Nash. He chose to steal again, forcing Li Chen to pass the ball.

This is a conspiracy, to force Li Chen to pass the ball.but……

Persecuted?The corner of Li Chen's mouth curled up.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly made a choice... Shoot?
At the same time, LaFrentz jumped high and tried to block the shot.

But at this moment, a figure leaped high, grabbed the basketball, and smashed it into the basket.

Alley-oop, this is an alley-oop between Michael Olowokandi and Li Chen.

It turned out that Li Chen's target at the beginning was Michael Olowokandi.

Odom's point can be said to be an accident, but this accident can be said to be the finishing touch. He successfully attracted the attention of the Dallas Mavericks and made this offense more perfect.

87 to 96, as long as the Dallas Mavericks' attack is defended, the Clippers' set goal will be achieved.

At the same time, Nash shook his head helplessly. He really regretted that the two failed to succeed in stealing one after another, which made him a little helpless.
