NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 134 The Eve of G6 (Two in One)

Due to Duncan being restricted, the Spurs' overall performance was poor.

Of the other main players, only Stephen Jackson and Bowen scored in double figures, Parker and Ginobili scored seven points, and one scored five points.

For the Clippers, Elton Brand and Cory Maggette scored 18 points.

Wang Zhizhi also scored 15 points, Odom, 15 points.

Li Chen played 46 minutes in this game, 20 of 11 shots, 38 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 6 of 4 three-pointers, and 12 of 12 free throws.

The Clippers' victory in this game pushed the Spurs to a dead end.

The Spurs' postgame press conference.

"Mr. Popovich, what do you think of Eastern rookie Li Chen's game tonight?"

"Okay! I have to admit that he is a more difficult guy than Kobe." Popovich said helplessly.

"G4, G5, the Spurs didn't restrict the Clippers' Li Chen's offense very well..."

Speaking of this, the reporter paused slightly, and said again: "Also, we also saw your tactics, it seems..."

"No, no, no! Our tactics are working, and you have seen it, but some details have not been handled well."

The reporters all curled their lips, not paying attention to Popovich's words.

"Excuse me, are the G6 Spurs confident in limiting Li Chen's scoring ability?"

"Of course."

Popovich knows he can't show his timidity now, otherwise the depressed Spurs may completely collapse.

At this time, the reporter turned his attention to Duncan again, "Mr. Duncan, may I ask, Li Chen, how does Odom feel about your double-teaming?"

Feelings?I just feel aggrieved. He used to have such balls at his fingertips, but today, 50% of the balls hit the basket.

When Duncan couldn't speak his mind, he just said: "Both of them are very strong defensively."

Speaking of this, Duncan changed the subject and added: "But our Spurs will definitely win the next game."

Although he has no idea, he believes in his coach and his teammates.

In the early morning, Popovich was sitting at home in deep contemplation, with only one idea in his mind - how to effectively suppress Li Chen's shooting.

He knows that it is a difficult task to fight against this Oriental boy. Because of Li Chen's strong aerial power and excellent shooting accuracy, it is really difficult for the Spurs to defend now.Unless Duncan follows up on defense, it's impossible to ignite.

Whenever he saw Li Chen catch the ball, he seemed to be transformed into a shooting artist, creating a beautiful arc with the basketball in his hand.

Whether it's an accurate mid-range jumper or a three-pointer, he always finds an opportunity to put the ball in the basket.

Li Chen's shooting movements are like a well-conceived painting, and every shot is full of stability and strength.

Whenever he saw this scene, he envied Alvin in his heart.

If Li Chen was given to him, he would be able to rule the alliance for 15 to 20 years. Every time he thinks about it, he trembles with excitement.

However, this is not possible.

When his thoughts were wandering, he took his thoughts back and once again turned to the problems that the Spurs would face.

Li Chen not only shoots accurately, but is also good at using his physical advantage to create troubles for defenders.

His quick feet and flexible body make him unpredictable on the dribble, causing defenders to make misjudgments.

And that defense, he has never been able to figure out why Duncan could make a shot, but his shooting percentage plummeted under the defense of that Eastern kid.

Could it be said that Duncan is really afraid of Li Chen? No, it is absolutely impossible. Even O'Neal will not make Duncan afraid.

But... Forget it, let's study how to restrain that oriental boy!
Yes, for Popovich, suppressing Li Chen's shooting is the most important thing.

In fact, it is very simple to guard Li Chen. You only need a player with strong aerial power or a tall player, because only someone with strong aerial power can block him, but the current Spurs do not have such conditions.

Robinson can do it, but his physical strength is obviously not enough.

So we can only rely on the close cooperation of the whole team.

He needs to carefully plan a tactic in the hope of limiting Li Chen's scoring.

Popovich thought about it for about an hour or two before he had a rough tactic in mind.

First of all, we must focus on the pressing defense against Li Chen.

The Spurs players quickly stepped forward after Li Chen caught the ball, putting great pressure on him and constantly trying to steal, causing him to lose his shooting rhythm and not giving him any chance to breathe.

By the way, he suddenly thought of letting the players use their bodies to give Li Chen a tighter mark, limiting his shooting space and preventing him from jumping.

It was late at night, Popovich thought to himself, and fell asleep without realizing it.

At this time, Irene opened the door of the study room gently, and then walked in gently. He looked at Popovich's frowning brows, sighed slightly, and then covered Popovich with a blanket.

At midnight in the city of Los Angeles, the silence reveals a hint of mystery and temptation.

After the sun disappeared, the moonlight shone on the streets and alleys, and the bustling scene of the day gradually faded away, replaced by tranquility and silence.

At this moment, downtown Los Angeles exudes a unique charm.

There is little traffic on the street, only taxis passing by occasionally and pedestrians walking alone.

The lights of tall buildings cast a soft glow, outlining the city.

Although the city may appear quiet, the nightlife in Los Angeles never stops.

The neon lights at the entrance of the nightclub attract the fun-seekers.

The rhythm of the music reverberates in the dark night, and the dancing figures on the dance floor are like elves under the moonlight.

Li Chen held the steering wheel with one hand, and rested his other arm on the car door, sensing the howling wind outside the car window.

He really enjoyed the cool feeling of the strong wind passing over his skin.

An hour later, he parked the car downstairs of his rental house.

Looking at this somewhat old building, he thought silently, soon, he will be able to buy a big villa next year, like the one with an indoor gymnasium at Kobe's house.

the next day.

He came to the training hall at seven o'clock and started a day of shooting training.

At nine o'clock, the Clippers players walked into the training hall while chatting.

"Guys, look at our Clippers star is still so hard." Odom joked.

Since Odom was rescued by Li Chen, he has been very ignorant.

"Lamar, do you know why some female stars are basketball players?"

Odom was taken aback by the question, and then asked subconsciously, "Why?"

Li Chen said seriously: "Because of good physical strength!"

Odom frowned, "Chen, what on earth are you supposed to say, I don't understand."

"Hahaha! Lamar, Chen, it's not enough to say nothing. Even if I give you a female star, you can't satisfy him."

"Fake, Chen, I want to challenge you."

Li Chen shrugged and said, "Hey, hey! They said it, but I didn't say anything. Don't make a mistake. Besides, can you really do it? Of course, if you make a strong request, I also hope to be with you." You, a teammate who lives and dies together, can learn from each other."

Odom rolled his eyes and cursed: "Fake, I'm not sick. I don't want to be abused."

"Lamar, don't be afraid of him. Challenge him one-on-one. We support you and beat him 10 to 0."

Clippers teammates all egged Odom on.

Hearing this, Odom's face turned green with anger, and he suddenly turned his head, "Fuck, you bastards, why don't you go?"

"If you don't train, you're making a lot of noise. Do you want to practice more? Also, Lamar, why is it you again?"

At this time, Alvin Gentry walked in from the door and scolded.

Odom was dumbfounded at the time. What happened?How miserable is your life!
Just when Odom was doubting his life, Alvin Gentry gave Odom another surprise, "Run around the court 30 times."

"Coach, I..."

Alvin Gentry rolled his eyes. "Fifty laps."

Odom "..."

"Lamar, I like you, come on, only a strong body can be favored by female stars." Li Chen gloated and patted Odom on the shoulder.

The other teammates also imitated Li Chen and patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.

Falk, you bastards, you're not a thing.

All the players dispersed and started today's training.

After today's strength training, Odom worked extraordinarily hard.Li Chen instantly knew what this guy was thinking, and he couldn't help laughing.

At noon, Li Chen received a call from Avril Lavigne.

As soon as Li Chen answered the phone, he heard Avril Lavigne's crisp voice on the phone.
"Wow! Chen, I heard that you are about to enter the NBA Finals! That's great! Congratulations!"

"Uh...the western finals haven't finished yet, it's too early to talk about the finals." Li Chen corrected after a moment of silence.

"Tch, the media has said that the Spurs can't suppress your scoring at all. In tomorrow night's game, they speculate that the Clippers will eliminate the Spurs 80% of the time."

Li Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the media to be so optimistic about the Clippers.

"And..." Avril said again at this time.

"what?"

I heard that gambling companies are very optimistic about the Clippers, and the odds of the Spurs are now 1 to 2.

This time Li Chen was a little surprised again, but then he said strangely: "Are you still gambling?"

"No! I listened to what they said when I was recording the song." Avril waved her hand.

"Hey! I said, why aren't you excited to go to the scene to cheer you on?"

"Thank you! I'm really happy, no! It's a great honor that you can come to watch my game." Li Chen said sincerely.

"Hey, hey, you're so hypocritical!" Avril said in disgust.

"Sorry, it seems that I am not suitable to be an actor." Li Chen pretended to regret.

"Pfft!" Avril was amused.

After a while, after chatting with him for a while, she went to work again.

Just then Li Chen's phone rang again.

When Li Chen saw that the call was from Kobe, he was a little surprised.

As soon as the phone was connected, Kobe's excited voice greeted him, "Fuck, can you really know divination? Oh, God! Vanessa's child is really a boy, oh! It's really unbelievable!"

Kobe was a little incoherent at this time.

Kobe was talking to himself, and Li Chen couldn't even get a word in. This shows how much Kobe cares about this boy.

It took a while for Kobe to gradually regain his composure.

Only then did Li Chen have time to interrupt. He cleared his throat and said, "Well... Kobe, since my fortune-telling is successful, you must pay. This is a rule and cannot be broken. You should understand."

When Kobe was slightly stunned, he felt that it made sense, so he subconsciously asked, "How much?"

"Not much, the standard price is 5000W, since we are so familiar, you can just give 1000 million."

Kobe was stunned when he heard Li Chen's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Then he realized that Li Chen was joking with him.

But just now he was really surprised, and then Kobbit felt ashamed, and then hung up the phone directly.

Kobe, who hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, this bastard, I will share my joy with you, but you are lucky, the happy day will only add to my troubles, Falk, this bastard, is still so annoying.

At the same time, Li Chen felt so refreshed after teasing Kobe, and felt that the sky was much bluer.

in the afternoon.

"Brother Da Zhi, your progress in the past few months has been really obvious. You can still be a rotation player even in other teams."

Being familiar with Wang Zhizhi, he did not make excuses, but told the truth.

Wang Zhizhi smiled shyly, and said sincerely, "Thank you so much! Li Chen."

Li Chen waved his hand, not showing off himself, and said: "Brother Da Zhi, what you said is wrong. This is all your efforts. I just passed a few more balls to you."

Wang Zhizhi shook his head and said: "No, Li Chen, you are wrong. You pulled me back from the cliff! It was a life-saving grace!"

Li Chen was slightly stunned, "Hey, hey, hey! Brother Da Zhi, we have known each other for such a long time, don't try to put on a high hat for me!"

Wang Zhizhi explained: "You also know that I was expelled from the national team in October last year!"

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and it seemed that there might be such a thing, then he nodded.

Wang Zhizhi continued: "Since this incident happened, my NBA games have not been broadcast live in China at all, and the news reports have not mentioned the news of my playing in the NBA. But fortunately, you are there. Your strength has to make them compromise. , They can only broadcast the Clippers game again, which allows the fans to know my news again, you said, I said you are my savior, is this too much?" Wang Zhizhi asked with a smile.

Li Chen suddenly realized, but he still said: "Brother Da Zhi, as the saying goes, gold always shines. You don't have to worry about this matter. As long as you play well in the NBA, they will invite you back."

Wang Zhizhi smiled wryly, "It's hard enough for me, how could they care about me with you around?" He said a little lonely.

Li Chen touched his nose in embarrassment. He remembered that Wang Zhizhi was re-activated later, but now that he appeared, those people could really do such a thing.

Because as a traverser, he knows all the twists and turns.

Although basketball is not as bad as football, in his opinion, that's all.

At this time, Wang Zhizhi seemed to have thought of something, and he begged: "Li Chen, you will definitely be able to enter the national team this year. Can you please help me beg for mercy?"

Li Chen was taken aback again, he never expected that Wang Zhizhi would be so persistent in returning to the national team.
