NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 161 The Kings' Last Dance

On the way back, Avril Lavigne chattered non-stop.

"Oh! Chen, it's really unimaginable. Mr. Bryant's son is so cute. Also, have you seen that when I tease him, he laughs, and he looks very happy."

"Oh! It's really unimaginable. I don't know, I thought he was our child."

Li Chen smiled and listened to Avril's cheerful talk.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly said: "Why don't we have a baby too!"

As soon as Li Chen said this, Avril was slightly stunned, and she was a little moved.

But the next moment she realized, "Hey, hey! You are still in the probationary period! Think about how to become a regular first!" Avril said dissatisfied.

Even so, she knew that she probably, maybe, couldn't live without this bastard.

Li Chen smiled, thinking of the stubborn little girl.

Kobe's mansion.

"I really didn't expect Chen and Avril to be so popular with Junior. They are really destined!" Vanessa said with emotion.

Kobe didn't answer, but he was really tired!
Li Chen borrowed the time when other teams did not decide the winner, and he went to the Bajiquan Martial Arts Hall to learn Bajiquan.

Of course, he just simply learned some routines, so that if he encounters a fight on the court, he will not suffer.

Afterwards, Li Chen watched an ice hockey game with Avril after being beaten to death by Avril.

Watching the ice hockey game this time was really an eye-opener for him. He never imagined that one-on-one fights could still be possible in the ice hockey arena.

I saw two players on the field throwing down their clubs and gloves, and then started attacking each other. You gave me a left hook, and I gave you a right hook. The fight was so exciting that he also gained experience.

Seeing Li Chen's surprised eyes, Avril hugged Li Chen's arm and said, "Honey, why don't you stop playing basketball and play ice hockey!"

"Hey, hey! This competition is too cruel, aren't you afraid of being a widow?" Li Chen complained dissatisfied.

Avril giggled, then waved her small fist, and said firmly: "You are so powerful, you will definitely be able to overthrow them."

"If you want me to have 5 sons and 5 daughters, I'll play ice hockey." Li Chen said with a smirk.

Avril "..."

At the same time, the Lakers and Spurs played fiercely. They fought seven games, and then played three overtime games. O'Neal couldn't run anymore, and Kobe was injured. In the final stage, Kobe would kill the Spurs Team.

But just when the fans were settling down for this game, the Argentinian man Ginobili stood up and sent away the Lakers with a killer shot.

On May 5, the first round of the playoffs ended.

The second round playoff matchups are also announced.

west:

Clippers VS Kings.

Spurs VS Timberwolves.

east:

Pacers VS Heat.

Pistons VS New Jersey Nets.

At the same time, Li Chen was a little surprised when he learned that the Lakers lost, thinking, the Lakers just lost one Karl Malone?He was a little unbelievable.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Lakers will lose. You must know that the Lakers have internal disagreements, and Payton is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After all, Payton and O'Neal have both been team bosses and have arrogance. They cannot surrender to Kobe.

Therefore, the Lakers are now like a stitch monster, forcibly stitching three people together. This combination is okay when fighting with the wind, but when fighting against the wind, the disadvantages are fully apparent.

Furthermore, the perseverance of the Spurs is really strong. Whether it is the end of the fourth quarter or the end of overtime, someone always stands up and makes a key goal. They have almost played the team basketball to the extreme.So the Lakers are not wronged.

Lee didn't attend the Lakers game because he was fascinated by the leprechaun.

When Li Chen watched the video of the seventh game between the Lakers and the Spurs, his expression became serious.

He knows that any team that can create miracles has very strong mental attributes, and he has seen strong resilience from the Spurs.Such an opponent is very difficult to deal with.However, no matter how difficult it is to pester Li Chen, he is not afraid.

At this moment, he cursed in his heart, "Why?"You didn't win the championship in the 03 season, but you still want to win the championship in the 04 season?snort!What a beautiful thought.

However, do you want to comfort little Kobe?

After thinking about it, Li Chen thinks it's better to forget it!It is estimated that Kobe would feel even more uncomfortable if he called to comfort him.

Yes, Kobe was worried all day, afraid that Li Chen would call and mock him, he even turned off the phone.

But he was still worried, worried that Li Chen would come to his door, but the truth was that Li Chen didn't come.

But this made Kobe even more uneasy, there must be a monster if something goes wrong, he felt that Li Chen must have given him a deadly wave of ridicule.

Good guy, Kobe has been delusional about being persecuted by Li Chen.

On the other hand, the Kings are not so afraid of the Clippers, because in the four meetings between them in the regular season, the Kings won two and lost two. Therefore, they think the Clippers are like that and they can definitely play.

The fact is as they imagined, the Kings beat the Clippers 94 to 92 in the first game of the second round of the playoffs.

But in the second game, he was taught by the Clippers. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Kings 116-100.

After that, the Clippers again defeated the Kings 100-93, 105-88.

The Clippers lead the Kings 3-1 overall.

As long as the Kings are defeated in the next Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Clippers can reach the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

At the same time, LeBron James has been paying attention to the Clippers games. During this period, he found that Li Chen's style of play suits his taste.

Li Chen keeps scoring in the first quarter of every game, so as to make the opponent feel that he feels very good today, and then he uses his deterrence to calmly let his teammates score.

And the most important point is to play this way to save energy, wait until the team crisis breaks out, solve the team crisis, and become the team hero.

Thinking of this, James was trembling with excitement, yes, this is what he wanted.

In fact, James had an in-depth understanding of the sport of basketball before playing basketball.

He summed up an experience from Jordan, the god of basketball, that basketball is a five-person sport, and no matter how strong one person is, it is useless.

Just like the peak Jordan, no matter how strong he was, he finally lost to the Celtics led by Bird Bird.

Therefore, Little Emperor James felt that Li Chen's style of play was the way he would go in the future.

Li Chen never expected that he would play the role of James in life. You know, he has always wanted to follow James' path, leaving him with nowhere to go!
Also, the reason why he did this was because the pull-up jump shot was too exhausting, so he made this bad move.

On May 5, the Clippers challenged the Kings away from home. The importance of this battle at Tianwangshan is self-evident.

Of course, this game is very crucial for the Kings, but not so important for the Clippers. After all, they have three wins in hand.

However, they still want to end the round series as soon as possible.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is a new skill called [Co-Defense Master].

[Co-defense expert: The speed of the host's assisted defense is increased by 20%. After success, the opponent's hit rate will be reduced by 15%, and there is a certain chance to increase the success rate of blocking shots by 10%. 】

Seeing this skill made Li Chen's eyes shine. To a certain extent, this is better than [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall].

In his opinion, [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall] is the ability to abuse food, but this [Assist Defense Master] is different. As long as he assists in defense in time, the opponent's hit rate will be reduced by 15%.

As for the 10% success rate of blocking shots, Li Chen didn't have much hope that it could be triggered.

Then Li Chen began to consider the wearing skills, and after a while, he made a decision.

[Unrestrained], [Immortal Ball], [Assist Master], [Bronze Wall], [Dry Jumper].

With the iron wall and the help of defense experts, even the peak Jordan has to kneel.

Karl Malone successfully jumped the ball and the Clippers got the ball.

As the team's core organizer, Li Chen is responsible for controlling the offensive rhythm. At the same time, he has unlimited firing rights.

Alvin Gentry can be said to trust Li Chen unconditionally.

In the past two seasons, Li Chen has lived up to the trust of coach Alvin Gentry. Whether it is passing and strong breakthrough ability at the basket, he can effectively deliver the ball to his teammates or personally attack the opponent's basket. .

His passing or offense can bring great threats to opponents.

At the beginning of the game, Li Chen chose a pull-up jumper and shot Michael Bibby in the face.

Bibby was a little helpless, he also felt uncomfortable when he had to make a background wall at the beginning of every game!But there was no way, he really couldn't prevent Li Chen from making a jump shot.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Clippers took the lead and led the Kings 3-0.

When the Kings started to attack, Li Chen showed excellent vision, and he had a panoramic view of all the players on the field.

At this moment, Korver's defense showed a loophole.

In fact, this has been a headache for the Clippers. His defense is so bad.

However, Alvin Gentry is still tolerant enough. If he had a short temper before, it would be impossible for Korver to defend the black hole on the court.

Yes, this is a minor problem with Larry Brown's team. They all pay great attention to defense.

However, for Li Chen's sake, Alvin Gentry turned a blind eye.

In fact, the most important thing is that Li Chen is so strong that he wipes Korver's ass every time.

To be honest, Korver was really touched. He decided to stay with such a boss for the rest of his life.

Korver missed someone, and Li Chen reacted quickly. He was already moving very fast, and now with the 20% bonus of the "assistant defense expert", the speed can be imagined.

I saw him move quickly to a suitable position, raising his hands high to limit the shooting space of the opponent's players.

Stojakovic didn't care about such a perfunctory defense at all, so he jumped directly.

Boom!The basketball went out of the socket.

At this moment, Karl Malone leaped high and grabbed the rebound.

But at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

I saw him make a Karl Malone rebound and push foul.

Ma Long frowned, he didn't push people at all just now, he just rushed in a reasonable way.

So he stepped forward to argue with the referee, but was added a technical foul by the referee.

This scene made Li Chen feel uneasy, and then he grabbed Karl Malone, who was still thinking about theory.

"Carl, don't be impulsive." Li Chen reminded loudly.

Li Chen yelled, which made Ma Long, who was a little angry, dissatisfied.

"This is Sacramento, not Los Angeles. Whatever happens is normal. An old player like you should know better than me." Li Chen reminded loudly again.

Li Chen's words made Almaron calm down, he let out a long breath, and said sullenly: "Sorry, I was impulsive."

Yes, he was really impulsive, after all, he was playing in the professional league in his last year.

Li Chen patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Karl, don't worry, we can win, I promise."

Karl Malone was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded vigorously.

Li Chen's firm words gave him a feeling of trust.

In the next game, Li Chen focused on the ball and carefully observed the actions and passing lines of the Kings players in order to predict the next move.

When a Kings player tried to pass the ball, Li Chen immediately responded quickly.

Li Chen's height and wingspan enable him to effectively disrupt the opponent's shooting and passing, putting great pressure on the opponent.

Whether on the outside or inside, he can flexibly switch defensive targets and make key blocks or interference at critical moments.

His ability to help defend brings a sense of security and confidence to the entire team.

Li Chen's strong defensive ability brought great trouble to the Kings.

Kings coach Adelman frowned, Li Chen's defense was much stronger than in previous games.

It seems that this boy from the East is fully defensive and wants to win the King's team in the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
But we're not giving up, Adelman thought.

He then decided to observe the situation first and then look for ways to deal with it.

In the next game, Li Chen's passing and offense were impressive.

He has shown a very high technical level and observation ability on the court, can accurately perceive the position and gap of his teammates, and make timely and accurate passes.

His passing ability not only helps his teammates get good scoring opportunities, but also effectively disrupts the opponent's defensive deployment.

On the offensive end, Li Chen showed excellent personal ability and excellent awareness.

He can flexibly use various skills and changes of direction to break through the opponent's defense and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.

Whether it is a quick breakthrough layup or a long-range shot, Li Chen can show calmness and decisive execution at critical moments, stably sending the ball into the opponent's basket.

Li Chen's offensive ability gave the Clippers a huge advantage, allowing them to win in the first quarter.

In the end, the Clippers won the first quarter 25-18.

After the start of the second quarter, the Kings seemed to have found the switch to win. They gave up their good outside shooting and changed to breakthrough under the basket.

This also had to make coach Alvin Gentry change the man-to-man defense to a 2-3 zone defense.

But the Kings showed amazing coordination and precision shooting skills.

Their scorers accurately hit every opportunity, whether it was layups or mid-range, causing great trouble for the Clippers.

On the defensive end, the Kings adopted tight tactics, making it difficult for the Clippers players to easily find opportunities to shoot.

Their high-pressure defense caused great trouble to the Clippers, preventing them from launching a strong counterattack.

With the King's consecutive scoring and tight defense, the Clippers players gradually felt the pressure.

There is a tense atmosphere on the court. The Clippers players are constantly trying to find opportunities to break through, but the Kings players follow closely to defend, making them unable to easily get shooting space.

As a result, the advantage the Clippers gained in the first quarter was gone.

This made the Clippers players a little impatient. Once they become impatient, it is easy to do some irrational things, such as excessive defensive movements.

So the Clippers were in foul trouble. Only 9 minutes into the second quarter, the Clippers' starting lineup each had three fouls.

And Karl Malone, as today's starting big center, even made four fouls at this time, and one technical foul.

Of course, except for Li Chen, he only had one foul.

It wasn't that the referee favored him, but that Li Chen played very smartly. He didn't have physical contact with the Kings players at all, and he didn't make too much defensive action. Even if the referee favored the Kings, it didn't make any sense.

Yes, as long as Li Chen stands in front of the Kings players, their shooting rate will be reduced by 20-25%.

This made the Kings players' mentality explode.

Although Li Chen's defense is a bug, it still can't change the Clippers' decline.

At this time, Alvin Gentry finally couldn't sit still and called a technical timeout.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Oh! God, this is the most boring game I've ever seen." Barkley said dissatisfied.

"Indeed, it seems, let's take a look at the number of free throws made by the two teams in the first two quarters. The Clippers made 8 times and the Kings made 18 times."

"Oh! It's really too bad." Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

the other side.

James looked at Li Chen on the TV and asked in his heart, "As the boss of the team, as the MVP of the regular season, and as the youngest MVP, what will you do next? Can you really turn defeat into victory?"

After the timeout came back, Alvin Gentry, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, and Korver all replaced.

Only Li Chen was left as the main force on the field.

The current players on the Clippers are Li Chen, Wang Zhizhi, Richardson, Bobby Simmons, and Kenyon Dulin.

Except for Wang Zhizhi and Richardson, who can shoot a few three-pointers, the others are really hard to describe.

And Alvin Gentry's task for Li Chen is not to let the score gap expand to more than 3 points in the next 15 minutes.

Alvin Gentry knew that the referee could not always favor the Kings. As long as they survived the difficult period of the second quarter, the third quarter was when they counterattacked.

Of course, the premise is not to let the score fall too far behind.

On the field.

Li Chen glanced at the current score, 51 to 41.

In fact, Alvin Gentry's request was not too difficult for Li Chen.

The difficulty now is how to tie the score.

Yes, what Li Chen always wanted was to tie the score, it was not his character to be beaten passively.

On the other hand, coach Adelman of the Kings saw that the Clippers replaced all the main players, leaving only Li Chen present, so he knew Alvin Gentry's intentions.

Alvin Gentry still has some brains.

The game whistle sounded.

The Clippers began to serve the sideline.

Kenyon During serves the throw-in.

After Li Chen got rid of Bibby's defense, he raised his hand to signal Kenyon Dulin to pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Li Chen immediately made a three-point jumper, and Bibby jumped up high, trying to interfere with Li Chen.

Bang!The basketball hit the rim hard, bounced up, and then fell into the net.

51 is better than 44
Li Chen knew that this was the triggering of the [Magic Ball] skill. This scene made his heart sink. He never expected that at this critical moment, his hands would feel a little cold. This was not good news.

At the same time, Bibby was deeply encouraged when he saw this scene, so he became more vigilant against Li Chen.

The Kings attack.

Now that the Kings have played their game well, they know that Li Chen has a strong defensive ability, so as long as Li Chen helps defend, they will pass the ball.

This left Li Chen with no better solution. After all, he was a human and couldn't teleport.

The Kings moved in a large area, and no matter how fast he helped defend, he couldn't catch up.

I saw Stockjavic flying Kenyon Dulling after receiving the ball, which was a three-pointer.

However, Stojakovic's touch doesn't seem to be very good.

Wang Zhizhi pressed Divac to grab the rebound.

After seeing Wang Zhizhi grab the rebound, Li Chen immediately launched a fast break.

But the Kings can't let Li Chen launch a fast break easily.

I saw Bibby and Doug Christie quickly catching up.

At this time, Li Chen was like a sports car with the accelerator pressed to the bottom.

But the Kings' Bibby is not slow either.

But at this moment, Li Chen suddenly stopped suddenly, and the friction between the ball and the ground made a piercing scream, and even left two deep marks on the floor.

It is worth mentioning that during the half-time break, the staff took a lot of effort to remove these two traces. This shows how terrifying the impact of Li Chen's sudden stop just now was.

Li Chen stopped so abruptly that Bibby and the others didn't react at all.

In fact, this is normal. After all, an emergency stop without any sign of deceleration requires strong reaction ability. Obviously Bibby and the two do not have such ability.

Unable to stop, they could only watch helplessly as Li Chen made a sudden stop to make a jump shot.

At the same time, Li Chen was not at peace, he was looking forward to some strength from his touch.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Li Chen's touch did not disappoint him.

51 to 47, the Clippers are only four points behind.

Li Chen's six points in a row made Coach Adelman's eyelids twitch.

This three-pointer is terrible, no, it should be said that the three-pointer of this Eastern boy is too terrible.The 10-point advantage that the Kings worked so hard to build became very few in the blink of an eye.

Do you want to call a timeout?Adelman hesitated, and finally chose to believe his players.

The players of the Kings did not live up to the trust of their head coach. Although Li Chen continued to score, the Kings were not to be outdone.

When the second quarter ended, Li Chen did not overtake the score, but he reduced the score of the two teams to 2 points.

"Haha! I just like Chen's ability to turn the tide at critical moments. This is the responsibility a superstar should have."

"That's right, Charles. Although Li Chen is still short of a champion, his performance is worthy of the word superstar." Kenny Smith affirmed Barkley's words.

He added: "After the Clippers' main players return in the subsequent third quarter, they should be able to defeat the Kings."

"No no no, Kenny." Barkley shook his head, he had a different opinion.

"What? Are you unhappy that your idol won?" Kenny Smith joked.

"No, Kenny, that's not what I meant."

"Oh? Then you are..."

"Kenny, have you forgotten the sixth man of the Kings who showed his power in the second quarter?"

Kenny Smith was slightly stunned, then laughed and cursed: "Charles, your mouth is still so poisonous!"
