NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 151 The Eve of the Christmas War (6000)

Today's post-match press conference Alvin Gentry took Karl Malone, a veteran who performed well.

At the same time, Li Chen felt a little regretful, because he missed the skill of [Stealer] again.

Clippers postgame press conference.

"Karl Malone, what do you think of Li Chen, your new teammate?"

"He is a very good teammate. If he had been my teammate, maybe we could beat the Bulls." Karl Malone said with a smile.

Hearing this, the reporters couldn't help but be surprised. They never expected that Karl Malone would speak so highly of Li Chen.

The reporter rolled his eyes and asked a very pointed question, "Mr. Karl Malone, can you, a player of the same era as the basketball god Jordan, really integrate into the young team of the Clippers?"

Hearing this, Alvin Gentry, who was sitting on the side, cursed inwardly. These reporters are not involved in personnel affairs. Isn't this provoking their internal conflicts?
Karl Malone thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I was a little dissatisfied at first."

Hearing this, the reporters were shocked.

Alvin Gentry also looked ugly. He never expected that bastard Malone would say this.

At this moment, Karl Malone changed the subject: "However, after this month of observation, I found that he is really an excellent leader. When he is training, he will use his basketball skills and his understanding of basketball. Pass it on to your teammates."

"On the court, when his teammates feel good, he always passes the ball to his teammates, but when his teammates feel cold and the team is in trouble, he always stands up. To be honest, I have been in the NBA for so many years. Such a reliable leader."

This statement surprised the reporters.

Alvin Gentry also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, an article titled Li Chen in the Eyes of Karl Malone appeared in the report.

For a time, NBA players had the urge to team up with Li Chen.

On November 11, the Clippers faced the Nuggets again and defeated the Nuggets 31-96.

Andre Miller performed well and scored 20 points in this game. It can be said that the Nuggets' annual salary of 1000 million is not a loss at all, and even some value for money.

For the 2003-2004 season, the Western Conference Player of the Month for November has been announced.

Li Chen averaged 25.2 points, 5 rebounds, 11.7 assists per game and had a record of 12 wins, beating Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, who averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game, with 12 wins and 4 losses.

Of course, since the Clippers have a somewhat short schedule in November, they have gained a certain advantage, but this cannot question the strength of the Clippers and Li Chen.

On December 12, the Clippers challenged the Spurs away.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Assist Master].

The five skills Li Chen wears are, [Unrestrained], [Immortal Ball], [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall], [Dry Pull Jumper], and [Shen Shot].

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. From the first quarter of this game, Li Chen showed his strong desire to score.Especially when playing against Bowen.

In fact, Li Chen still felt a little regretful, because his kick only crippled one of Bao Wen's O's, and now he was somewhat expecting that Bo Wen would step on his foot again, and then directly eunuch him.

Seeing Li Chen looking down at him, Bowen trembled a little.

In front of the media, he mostly accused Li Chen of doing it on purpose, but the media scoffed at his words. It was impossible for Li Chen to make such precise movements under such an unbalanced situation.

What makes the media sneer the most is that you were the one who stepped in first, and you are the one to blame. You have the nerve to come out and condemn others, which is an embarrassment to the United States.

Seeing Li Chen's eyes at the same time, Bao Wen gritted his teeth and asked, "Boy, did you do it on purpose?"

Of course, of course I did it on purpose.Although Li Chen thought so in his heart, he would not be stupid enough to say it, so he said innocently: "I'm really sorry last season, and I never expected that kind of thing to happen, but you are not at a loss, at least let me Fewer champions."

Hearing this, Bowen's nose felt a little crooked. Do you think the championship has anything to do with me?Damn it, I almost...now my wife complains every time.

At this time Li Chen said to himself: "I'm thinking now, what is your wife doing?"

Bowen was stunned for a moment, and then an unsightly scene appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Li Chen took advantage of Bowen's daze and broke through directly, passing Bowen in one step.

At this moment, Bao Wen suddenly realized, and subconsciously grabbed Li Chen.

Li Chen fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.

The referee blew his whistle and gave Bowen a flagrant foul.

Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this performance was too exaggerated, but fortunately, the referee still gave Bo Wen a malicious foul.

At the same time, Popovich immediately called a timeout. Good guy, the timeout was called in less than 1 minute of the game.

After calling a timeout, Popovich cursed Bowen.

Bowen secretly scolded Popovich as an old man. If you hadn't encouraged me, would I have become where I am today?You fucking still have the face to yell?But he dared to think about it in his heart.

At the same time, Li Chen got two free throw opportunities, whoosh!Made both free throws.

The Clippers lead the Spurs 2-0.

After the timeout ended, Popovich decisively replaced Bowen.

Duncan's injury will take a week to recover. Without Duncan's support, the current Spurs are really not good.

Now that Bo Wen was replaced, Li Chen made a big move. In the first quarter, Li Chen shot inside and outside, coupled with frequent assists, the Clippers led the Spurs by 35 points 18-15.

In the second quarter, Karl Malone triggered the "stimulant" buff attached to [Unrestrained], raging around the basket, unstoppable.

After the first half, the Spurs led the Spurs by 70 points, 32 to 38.

In the first half, the narrow-minded Li Chen scored 32 points, and the Spurs fell into the fear of being dominated by the big devil.

Strong, too strong, the Spurs players feel that Li Chen is stronger this year, and the overall strength of the Clippers is also very strong.

Especially the rookie named Korver, the open three-pointer is too accurate, his empty three-pointer, the hit rate is definitely above 50%.

During the halftime break, Li Chen poured himself a bottle of energy drink, and continued to hate the Spurs in the second half.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers won the third quarter 32-19.

The Clippers now lead the Spurs with a total score of 102 to 51.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs did not replace the main players, but Li Chen's continuous pull-up jumpers in the first three quarters consumed a lot of energy.

So he couldn't do it in the fourth quarter, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

最后马刺对第四节以32比20取得了本节的胜利，但是我们依然以总比分122比73输掉了比赛。马刺队被快船队主场血洗了48分。

Seeing the Spurs in such a mess, most of the fans didn't want to watch the third quarter. It was so uncomfortable, and they were also very angry at the Spurs' incompetence.

Li Chen was a little disappointed with this score, because his original plan was to beat the Spurs by 68 points.

In this game, the Spurs Parker played 38 points, 15 of 14 shots, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of [-] free throws.

Ginobili played 40 minutes, 12 of 2 shots, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws.

For the Clippers, Karl Malone had 25 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist.

Wang Zhizhi had 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 of 1 three-pointers.

Corey Maggette had 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Korver scored 18 points and made 12 of 6 three-pointers.

Now Korver is confident in his shots, but without Li Chen he will be beaten back to his original shape.

Li Chen played 48 minutes in this game, 20 of 15 shots, 40 points, 16 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 10 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws.

This is Li Chen's game with the most points this season.

August 12 afternoon.

Kobe, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, actually called him.

This made Li Chen a little surprised. During this month, Kobe had the habit of turning off his phone at night. He hadn't singled out this guy for a long time.

Li Chen answered the phone and teased: "Hey! Isn't it Kobe? Why did you think of calling me?"

Kobe ignored Li Chen's teasing, but happily said, "I'm going to be a father." Kobe's words were full of excitement.

"Aren't you already a father?"

"Fake, what do you know, this is my son!"

hehe!It seems that everyone is wrong to say that you Kobe is a slave to your daughter. In fact, you still like your son in your heart.Li Chen complained in his heart.

"Hey! Didn't you bastard call just to show off to me?"

"Huh? Is it so obvious?" Kobe asked in surprise.

Li Chen "..."

"Hey! Kobe, let me tell you, I will definitely be this godfather..."

"Hey! Chen, can you hear me? Hey, hey! Chen, are you still there?"

Kobe's voice became smaller and smaller, more and more indistinct, and finally, the phone was hung up.

Li Chen stared at the hung up phone in a daze, and after a while he burst out laughing, he didn't expect Kobe to have such a funny scene.

Just when Li Chen was about to put down the phone and continue training, his phone rang again. He turned his eyes to the fact and found that the call was actually from Britney.

Li Chen frowned, wondering why the popular singer called him. After thinking about it, Li Chen still answered the phone.

Britney's sweet voice came out as soon as the call was connected.

"Chen, I didn't bother you, did I?" Britney asked with a smile.

"Of course not. It is my honor to receive Miss Britney's words."

"Hehe, Chen, you are really good at talking. Was Avril deceived by your sweet words?" Britney joked.

hehe!Li Chen thought to himself, you guessed wrong, she was actually picked up on the street.

"Miss Britney, chasing Avril Lavigne is not easy. It took me a lot of effort to get her to agree to associate with me, so his current situation is very pessimistic."

Britney was stunned for a moment, then joked: "You can consider me after you get dumped!"

Li Chen was stunned and murmured in his mind, are you hinting at me?

"Miss Britney, you can really joke. By the way, you are calling..." Li Chen changed the subject.

"Oh! Today is my birthday. I sincerely invite you to participate. Don't refuse! Otherwise, I will be very sad!"

Li Chen was about to refuse, but he couldn't say it anymore, so he said with a bitter face: "Okay, I'm very honored."

Britney smiled happily, and finally reminded her kindly: "Chen, my birthday party is also a charity party!"

For a while, Li Chen was a little depressed. He thought that Britney was interesting, but it seems that he wants to donate money at this time!

In the afternoon, Li Chen received an invitation from Britney Spears.

Li Chen took the invitation and thought about it, then called Bill Duffy, and explained why he came.

Bill Duffy thought about it and agreed to Li Chen's invitation.

In the evening, he and Bill Duffy followed the address given by Britney to a manor.

They came down to a hall under the leadership of the staff, but what made Li Chen depressed was that Bill Duffy was too unreliable, so he left him aside.

Li Chen was speechless and sat down by himself.

At this time, a beautiful woman with black hair, big breasts, and an enchanting figure came over, and sat beside Li Chen naturally.

She stretched out her hand and said generously, "Hello, Mr. Li Chen, my name is Kardashian, Kim Kardashian."

Li Chen was slightly stunned, looking at this woman in her 20s in surprise.

Li Chen never imagined that this fat American girl would be the famous future Kim Kardashian, the eldest of the Kardashian sisters.

The three of them are so-called NBA player killers!

At this time, Kim Kardashian seemed to know why Li Chen was surprised, so she explained: "Chen, everyone knows your name now, isn't it normal for me to know your name?"

Mr. Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to suddenly realize it.

Then Kim Kardashian chatted with Li Chen.

Li Chen actually didn't want to socialize with this woman, but these sisters dare to do anything for the sake of being famous.

While the two were chatting, commotion broke out outside the hall.

At this moment, someone exclaimed: "Oh! God! MJ is here too."

Immediately afterwards, Michael Jackson, surrounded by bodyguards, walked in.

Immediately afterwards, celebrities and socialites greeted Kerr Jackson.

The same is true for Kim Kardashian, she said goodbye to Li Chen and walked towards the crowd.

After a while, Britney, the owner, also came out.

After 10 minutes, it became quiet.

Only then did Li Chen know Michael Jackson's influence in the United States.

At this time Li Chen stood up and walked towards Michael Jackson.

At the beginning, if I and Odom hadn't been passing by because of Michael Jackson, they would have fought with a few hooligans. By then, life and death would be unpredictable, after all, they had guns.

So, it’s fine if you didn’t have a chance before, but now that you have a chance, you have to thank yourself personally.

After a while, "Mr. Jackson, hello." Li Chen bowed and said politely.

Michael Jackson was a little surprised. In his impression, he didn't take Li Chen seriously.

Li Chen smiled and said: "9 months ago, I ran into my teammates by chance and was hunted down by gangsters. At that time, they still had pistols in their hands. At this critical moment, Mr. MJ's motorcade happened to pass by and scared the gangster boys. I didn't have the opportunity to thank you It is a pleasure to meet you today for your kindness in saving our lives, and I should thank you in person for your kindness.”

Michael Jackson frowned deeply. Now that he is entangled in lawsuits, he really can't remember what happened for a few months.

Michael Jackson raised his brows and said in his magnetic voice: "Young Oriental boy, you don't need to say thank you. It was just a coincidence. This is God's mercy."

"No, no, no! God is fair and selfless, so He will not cheat anyone." Li Chen said firmly.

"So, this is the karma between me and Mr. Michael."

Li Chen's life was really in vain, and he fooled all the celebrities and ladies into being stunned.

Even Michael Jackson was confused.

"Mr. Michael, I know that you have been very upset because of the lawsuit recently, but I always believe that you were wronged."

"The criticism of you from the outside world is all slander against you. I always believe in your character." Li Chen added.

"God is just, and one day He will give you justice." Li Chen said again.

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't know why an Easterner dared to be so sure. They didn't even dare to be sure.

At the same time, Michael Jackson was a little moved. After all, a stranger who believed in him so much gave him great psychological comfort.

Then Michael Jackson chatted with Li Chen for a while before he knew that he was a basketball player.

Hearing this, Michael Jackson also said that he would definitely watch Li Chen's game when he had time.

On the way back, Bill Duffy looked at Li Chen in shock, and said, "Chen, I never expected to encounter such a shocking thing."

Li Chen smiled wryly: "Actually, I don't want to either!"

"By the way, Chen, Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, called me."

It turned out that after receiving Dolan's call in New York, Li Chen directly blamed Bill Duffy.

"Oh? What did he say." Li Chen said.

"He said that he can agree to any request of yours, Chen, actually, I suggest you go to the Knicks."

"Bill, of course I know, but the Knicks are too strong."

Hearing this, Bill Duffy rear-ended his car.

He was also convinced. This was the first time he heard that someone thought the team was too strong. Besides, the Knicks don't get along with strong teams, right?
Bill Duffy said: "Chen, as a friend, I advise you to consider the New York Knicks."

Li Chen thought for a while and said, "Those are things that I still need to consider after my rookie contract is over. Now I just want to win."

12 month 4 day.

Bill Duffy called Dolan.

Dolan saw that the call was from Li Chen's manager Bill Duffy.

Dolan hopes too much for the Knicks to get better, but what makes him depressed is that he can't get any big fish.

While his thoughts were spinning, he couldn't wait to connect the phone, "Mr. Bill, Chen, what do you say?"

Bill Duffy thought for a while and said truthfully: "Mr. Dolan, Chen, did you say that your Knicks team is too strong?"

What?Knicks too strong?At this moment, Dolan didn't know what expression to use to express his mood at this moment?
There was some stiffness on his face, obviously he thought Bill Duffy was humiliating him.

Who doesn’t know that the Knicks have been terrible under his hands over the years, and now Bill Duffy says that the Knicks are strong, which is obviously irony!

As for what Li Chen said, he doesn't believe it. How can any player think that his teammates are strong?
If Bill Duffy knew what Dolan was thinking, he would definitely yell that he was wronged!
At this time Dolan said coldly: "Mr. Bill Duffy, you don't have to be so eccentric at all. As long as Li Chen can come to the New York Knicks, as long as he can win the championship, I don't care how much luxury tax I pay."

Bill Duffy's face was about to wrinkle into a bitter face, thinking that I really didn't lie!

So he said sincerely: "Mr. Dolan, Chen, wants to prove himself, so he wants to find the worst team after his rookie period."

When Bill Duffy hung up the phone, Dolan was still a little confused, thinking that the thinking of Easterners is really weird, and some people despise their teammates.

So what should I do?Want to mess it up?Dolan made up his mind as soon as the idea came to him, and he chose to mess it up.

On the evening of the 4th, the Clippers once again ushered in the challenge of the Cavaliers. The Clippers defeated the Cavaliers at home 96-80.

James did not perform well in this game. He played 34 minutes, made 13 of 2 shots, 4 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 3 three-pointers.

Throughout the game, Li Chen did not deliberately target the future little emperor James.

It is estimated that Li Chen was out of the shadows.

LeBron James' performance was once again questioned by the media, which annoyed him.

But he was not knocked down, the tougher he got, the harder he trained.

In this game, Li Chen made 18 of 10 shots, 28 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws.

The next day, Li Chen received Avril's questioning.

"Li Chen, you are my boyfriend, shouldn't you celebrate my birthday?"

Li Chen was taken aback by the question, "Is yesterday also your birthday?" Li Chen asked in surprise.

He felt like he had killed a dog, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?Were Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears created for each other?

"No." Avril said confidently.

Li Chen "..."

As his thoughts were spinning, Li Chen quickly explained, "Avril, I'm not attending Britney's birthday party, but attending a charity event."

"Really?" Avril asked suspiciously.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Britney."

"Hmph, I will believe you this time."

After a while, Li Chen stroked his chin, thinking, this is a good sign!At least now she cares about herself.

In the following schedule, the Clippers defeated the Jazz and Timberwolves 90-86 and 96-94 respectively.

On February 2, the Clippers were defeated by the Kings 10-105.

The 17-game winning streak was ended.

Afterwards, the Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks, Suns, and Pelicans (Hornets) 100-99, 106-91, 109-80, 93-83, 95-85, 115-105, and 101-95 respectively. Bucks, Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Spurs.Won 7 consecutive victories again.

It is worth mentioning that the Clippers have double-killed the Spurs this season.

However, the Clippers also ushered in bad news that Malone was injured in the game against the Spurs and it will take 20 days to recover.

But the Clippers have good news that Elton Brand is back from injury.

Brand's experience cannot be compared with Karl Malone, but he is much better than those substitute players. Although the strength of the Clippers has been affected, it is not great.

On December 12, the Clippers ushered in a city derby in the Christmas game.

In the original timeline, the Lakers played against the Rockets, but Li Chen's alliance still chose the same city derby between the Lakers and the Clippers.

At the same time, the focus has changed from Yao Sha's duel to a duel between Li Chen and Kobe's teacher and friend.

In order to express his determination, Kobe also spent a lot of money and sold his unborn son.

As long as Li Chen can win, Li Chen is his son's godfather.

Kobe used this to prove his determination.

At the same time, another Christmas game is scheduled for this season, the Magic versus the Cavaliers.

James secretly vowed to win this game, he was unwilling to be compared by Li Chen.
