NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 146 Clippers VS Cavaliers

Korver was shocked. He never expected that Li Chen would support him so much.

You know, a few days before the draft, his agent told him that his draft prospects would not be optimistic, because like him, he can only shoot three-pointers, and pure offensive players are not very favored by the team. lost.

After hearing this at the time, Korver was desperate.

However, on the day of the draft, things turned around. He never expected that he would be selected by the Clippers, who had the most limelight last season, in the 30th place in the first round.

You know, the Clippers are the favorites to win the championship this year!
Then he learned from Elgin Baylor that it was Li Chen who called him by name, which made him very grateful to Li Chen, and now that Li Chen was fighting for his playing time, he was even more grateful.

Now he can only work hard to repay Li Chen for his support.

Alvin Gentry thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Chen, you have to know, not everyone likes you! Although Kyle had a high three-point shooting rate in college, this is the NBA, not college. The childlike intensity of period games can be compared.”

Apparently Alvin Gentry still doesn't trust Korver.

Seeing that Alvin Gentry still didn't trust Korver, Li Chen thought for a while and said, "So, Coach Alvin, can that garbage time give Kyle more playing time?"

"That's fine." Alvin Gentry nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Therefore, in order to score points for Korver, Li Chen's state was full in the third quarter, and he started the full attack mode.

At the beginning of the third quarter, both offense and defense worked together, with four consecutive three-pointers leading to a 12-2 spurt, which directly stunned the Sonics.

At the same time, Malone also further understood how terrifying Li Chen's offensive ability was without the defense of the All-Star team.

In less than 3 minutes, the Clippers led the Sonics by 72 points, 52 to 20.

At this time, the Sonics were about to be crushed by the Clippers.

They were too caught off guard. Originally, they were still ambitious and wanted to tie the score in the third quarter, and then go ahead in the fourth quarter.

But reality gave them a heavy slap in the face, telling them that you are still an uncle, and the Clippers are still the team that almost became a championship.

Well, last season, in the hearts of the fans, the Clippers were the champion. As for the New Jersey Nets?hehe!

Not only were the Sonics players stunned, but even the Sonics fans were caught off guard. They were stretched to 20 points in the blink of an eye. At this time, they still had an unreal feeling, as if In a dream.

SuperSonics coach McMillan immediately called a timeout and secretly cursed Li Chen as a monster.

After returning from the timeout, although Li Chen's scoring ability was not as explosive as before, when the third quarter ended, the Sonics still lost 65 to 90 by 25 points.

It is worth mentioning that when the Clippers expanded the score to 30 points in the third quarter, Alvin Gentry replaced Korver.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the head coach of the Supersonics, McMillan, decisively replaced the main players and stopped playing with the Clippers.

So Li Chen took his younger brother Korver to happily start the score-boosting mode.

In the beginning, Korver missed three shots in a row, but Li Chen has the [rebound monster] added, so he is not afraid that Korver will miss the shot.

As a result, the subs for the Sonics were numb. Li Chen was so good at grabbing rebounds. Their physical talents were not at the same level as Li Chen's.

So under Li Chen's spare no effort to give Korver a shot, Korver scored an astonishing performance that even made him doubt.

超音速队的刘易斯出场30分钟，20投5中，25分，三分球7中3，罚球七7中6。

The Clippers Karl Malone played 30 minutes, 13 of 8 shots, 25 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 10 of 9 free throws.

Korver played, 17 minutes, 20 of 8 shots, 26 points, 18 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 2 free throws.

Li Chen played 46 minutes, 15 of 8 shots, 28 points, 20 assists, 15 rebounds, 7 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws.

Originally, Sports Illustrated reported that in the game between the Kings and the Cavaliers at home on October 10, James made the first game of his career as the No. 30 pick in the 2003 draft. Beast trembling to describe.

But when they saw the Clippers play on October 10, they were numb, completely numb.

What the hell?Who is Korver?Why does a little-known rookie score more points than our emperor?This is not scientific!

Although it is garbage time for Korver to play, the data is not as comprehensive as James's.

But you have to know, he is just one, the 30th pick in the draft, if it weren't for the favorite Clippers to choose Korver, they wouldn't even be familiar with the name Korver.

Now he actually beats James, the chosen one. How could this not shock them?

At this time, some basketball experts pointed out that this was Li Chen's counterattack, and refuted the media's claim that James and him were the two scorching suns in NBA history.

All right!This rebuttal is as sharp as a knife. Just imagine that you James can't even compare with a younger brother next to Li Chen, but how can you compare with him?
So, when the young little emperor James saw an article titled "Will James be the next Kwame Brown", James' face turned green.

As a result, in the sports world of the United States, a drama about Captain VS Chosen Son quickly became the top trending topic due to media hype.

Saturday morning, December 11.

The Clippers ushered in bad news. Elton Brand was injured during training and will have to rest for more than a month before he can recover.

Li Chen looked at Elton Brand speechlessly: "Elton."

A somewhat depressed Elton Brand turned his head to look at Li Chen, "Chen, don't comfort me, it will make me feel even more uncomfortable."

Li Chen nodded, and then said very viciously: "Elton, you think too much, I want to say that you change your name."

Elton Brand was taken aback, "Ah? What do you mean?"

"Your name should be Elton-Glass-Bland."

"Fack, bastard, I think you should comfort me!"

"Hahaha! I'm not joking with you anymore, take care of your wounds, I'll go back first."

"Let's go, let's go! I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death by you." Elton Brand chased Li Chen away in disgust.

After Li Chen left, Elton Brand sighed in his heart, he was very depressed.

In the evening, the Clippers will play against the Sonics at home again (the Clippers' battle situation in the 03-04 season is two consecutive games against the Sonics.).

Although the Supersonics were bloodbathed by the Clippers by 25 points in the last game, he did not give up on himself. They will avenge their shame in this game.

At the same time, Korver performed well yesterday, coupled with Li Chen's admiration, Alvin Gentry gave Korver a chance and put him in the rotation.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall].

The skills Li Chen chose to wear are [Assist Master], [Mark Shot], [Strike Master], [Magic Ball], and [King of Mid-range Shot].

As soon as the game between the two sides began, the Sonics showed their desire to score, especially Lewis, who frequently hit shots.

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics led the Clippers by five points 35-30.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Chen continued to attack with the ball and pass in seconds, and soon tied the score.

Then, continue to score points for Korver. Of course, he knows that Korver is now more accurate for open three-pointers, so he will not deliberately pass and assist as in the previous game. After all, winning should be the first priority.

第二节科沃尔5投2中，8分，罚球3中2。

When the second quarter ended, the Clippers still trailed the Sonics by three points 63 to 66.

No way, Lewis of the Sonics was too strong today, and Corey Maggette couldn't defend at all.

两节比赛时间他已经20投15中，砍下32分，罚球2中2。

At the beginning of the third quarter, Alvin Gentry decided to let Li Chen help defend Lewis.

Li Chen did not disappoint Alvin Gentry.

Starting from the third quarter, Lewis put on his blacksmith vest and was immersed in the joy of blacksmithing.He was defended by Li Chen and didn't score a single point.

Seeing Lewis and Li Chen competing, SuperSonics head coach McMillan turned green.

You said you always compete with that monster, what do you do?Isn't this asking for trouble?

So McMillan could only replace Lewis to calm down.

Meanwhile, Malone continues to show his value and consistency.

In the end, the Clippers won the final victory 124 to 105.

The Clippers have won two games in a row.

Lewis of the SuperSonics played 36 minutes, 35 of 15 shots, 40 points, 4 assists, 10 of 4 three-pointers, and 10 of 6 free throws.
Karl Malone, played 36 minutes, made 10 of 5 shots, 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, and 12 of 10 free throws.

The addition of Malone has greatly improved the Clippers' inside rebounding.

With Li Chen on the outside and Malone on the inside, the Clippers are stronger than last season.

Wang Zhizhi, 15 points

Korver scored 18 points.

Li Chen played 45 minutes, 18 of 10 shots, 28 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 blocks, 3 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws.

After that, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets, Hawks, Warriors, and Magic. The Clippers started with six consecutive victories.

It is worth mentioning that in the game against the Magic, Li Chen made 26 of 7 shots from the top McGrady's defense.

Li Chen once again explained what is called the integration of offense and defense.

Sports Illustrated pinned news.

The coverage was impassioned and made fans yearn for it, wishing they could watch the game now.

During lunch, Li Chen received a call from Odom.

Seeing Odom's phone call, Li Chen was a little surprised, so he connected the phone.

After answering the phone, before Li Chen could speak, Odom yelled loudly, "Chen, tonight, fuck the Chosen Son James."

Li Chen was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Do you have any grievances with him?"

"No! Why do you ask that?" Odom asked in surprise.

Li Chen was speechless, "You have no grudges, how can you be so excited?" Li Chen said angrily.

"Why, I can't see others being better than me, no way!"

Li Chen "..."

"Okay! You won." Li Chen said speechlessly: "By the way, how are you doing in the Heat?"

"Fake, don't mention it. Riley saw that I didn't perform well in a few games and so he replaced me from the starting lineup. Chen, I regret it now."

Li Chen murmured in his heart, it's not that you didn't perform well, this is your real strength, 10% less hit rate, of course it will be like this.

"Haven't it always been your dream to get a salary of 1200 million without working?"

Odom said depressedly: "That's what I said, but I'm holding my breath, and I feel uncomfortable!"

"You don't have to worry. With your performance, Riley will trade you next year."

Odom "..."

"Chen!"

"Say something."

"I found out that I shouldn't have called you, your mouth is still so annoying, hum!" Saying that, without giving Li Chen a chance to speak, Odom hung up the phone resolutely.

Li Chen looked at the hung up phone speechlessly, thinking, I'm telling the truth!In fact, no matter how you behave, you will be traded.

He remembered that this guy would be sent to the Lakers next year, hey!I don't know how he will feel when he goes around and returns to Los Angeles again?Li Chen thought silently.

In the evening, the long-awaited battle between the Clippers and the Cavaliers began.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Haha! Everyone must have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Barkley laughed knowingly
"Of course, 16 versus No. 23 is a hot topic in the league. I believe this game will not disappoint us."

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.

First of all, the Cavaliers' starting lineup is:

Ricky Davis (point guard)

Miles (shooting guard)

James (Small Forward)
power forward (power forward)
Ilgauskas (center forward)
Next, let's take a look at the Clippers' starting lineup.

Li Chen (point guard)
Korver (shooting guard)

Corey Maggette (small forward)
Karl Malone (power forward)

Wang Zhizhi (center)

"Haha! I'm pretty sure, Lord Barker, that Chen asked Korver to start the game. This guy is really bad. He did it on purpose, but I like it."

"Charles, don't say that." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the topic: "However, since the current Cavaliers are no match for the Clippers at all, their chances of winning are almost impossible. The only thing to watch in this game is the performance of Li Chen and James. "

"Both are all-around players, it's a matchup at its peak."

At this time the game began and the two teams began to jump the ball.

Ilgauskas succeeded in jumping the ball, but was snatched by Li Chen.

Seeing this scene, Barkley laughed loudly in the TNT live broadcast room and said, "Chen's desire to win is very strong!"

"Yeah!" Kenny Smith also smiled.

At the same time, Li Chen checked the random S-level skills of the Wenchang game while holding the ball and advancing the frontcourt.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Iron Wall] Li Chen smiled when he saw this skill, "Huang Zhan, I'm sorry you are going to be unlucky today."
