NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 168 The Last Second

So Li Chen answered the phone under the envious eyes of his teammates.

Andre Miller called just to congratulate Li Chen.

Then there was Bill Duffy, who also congratulated Li Chen on his performance. Secondly, he brought good news to Li Chen. His sneakers this year were paid out.

He actually received 5000 million after tax.

This time he can improve a wave of skills.

After hanging up the phone with Bill Duffy, I got a call from Odom.

This guy is still the same as before. First he complained about why it was so difficult to call Li Chen, and then he complained.

Li Chen was numb. He felt as if he was a confidant on a domestic midnight radio station, listening to hotline calls.

Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again. This time the caller was Yao Ming. He also called to congratulate me.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes before hanging up the phone. During these 20 minutes, most of them were Yao Ming thinking about killing everyone in the Olympics.

After hanging up the phone with Yao Ming, Li Chen was about to turn around and go back to training when the phone rang again.

But this call surprised him, because the call turned out to be from Britney.

After Li Chen answered the phone, he smiled and said, "How come the big star has time to call me?"

"Chen, congratulations, your performance yesterday was great."

"Thank you."

Then the two were free for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen stared at the phone in a daze, wondering why Kobe didn't call?
However, Kobe, who is narrow-minded, must have felt very uncomfortable seeing himself killing all directions in the finals. Thinking of this, he felt a lot of joy for no reason.

At this moment, the phone rang again. Li Chen looked down at the phone, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a nice curve.

It was the little blacksmith who called, and Li Chen answered the phone, but before Li Chen could speak, the little blacksmith said, "Come to my house this afternoon."

Li Chen immediately understood the meaning of these five words, that is, I am not convinced and I want to challenge you.

Li Chen thought about it. He hadn't seen his godson for a long time. Avril had mentioned two days ago that he would take her there this afternoon.

After the tactical training in the afternoon, Li Chen drove home and told Avril to go to Kobe's house to see little Kobe.

During this period, Li Chen improved a wave of skills. First, Li Chen upgraded [Glamour], [Ankle Killer], [Shenzhen], [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall] and [Co-Defense Master] to A-level, and finally used the remaining resources to upgrade [Pengci] 】Promoted to A level.

Originally, he didn't want to improve his "touching porcelain" skill, but the Pistons really put a lot of pressure on him.

in the afternoon.

Before even seeing Kobe's baby son, Li Chen was dragged into singles by Kobe five times.

After a while, Kobe complained: "At this level, why don't I believe you can score 66 points?"

Li Chen curled his lips and said: "There are so many things that you don't believe. You still don't believe that the lady will trick you? What will happen in the end?"

Kobe's face turned dark immediately, Li Chen was speaking short words in front of the lame man!

"Asshole, why do I get so angry every time I see you? I have already made up my wish for the next year."

Li Chen "..."

Then he shrugged innocently and said, "I guess there is something wrong with your way of speaking."

Kobe "..."

Farke, this sentence should be addressed to you, right?
After teasing little Kobe, he said goodbye to Kobe and Vanessa.

During the period, Kobe saw his unfilial son smiling happily, and he received another [-] point crit. Although he singled out a small victory over Li Chen, he was not happy at all, and his heart was tired!

On June 6, the second game between the Clippers and the Pistons started again at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Pistons once again showed strong defensive capabilities in this game, but in the end, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Pistons 88-86.

6月11日，总决赛第3场快船队爆发以101比100绝杀活塞队。

The Clippers have won three games in a row against the Pistons.

June 6, Little Caesars Arena, Detroit.

At this time, the Pistons have reached a desperate situation. As long as they lose one more game, they will be swept out.

In the first quarter, the Clippers once again faced the Pistons' iron-clad defense.

But as a disciple of Larry Brown, Alvin Gentry has defensive capabilities, plus the Clippers have Li Chen and Karl Malone.

Especially for Li Chen, the random S-level skill in this game is [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall].

Therefore, the Clippers' defense was good, leading the Pistons by two points 18-16 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, at the request of Alvin Gentry, the Clippers increased their offensive firepower and continued to maintain the lead, expanding the score advantage to 25-20.

However, in the third quarter, the Clippers' shooting percentage began to decline, and the Pistons seized the opportunity and overtook the score 30-25.

The Clippers made more mistakes in this quarter and also had serious problems on the defensive end.

At one point, the Clippers were 58 points behind 70-15.

Fortunately, Li Chen scored 15 points in a row at the end of the third quarter, reducing the score to two points 73-75.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Clippers worked hard to catch up with the score, once chasing the score to 86-86.

However, at the critical moment, the Pistons once again used their team's advantages to stabilize the situation. The Clippers seemed unable to break through the Pistons' defense.

However, at the last moment of the game, Li Chen defended three consecutive critical moments, leaving the Pistons scoreless.

At the same time, Karl Malone triggered the stimulant Buff, and Malone's sudden explosion overwhelmed the Pistons' defense.

Two minutes from the end of the game, the Clippers led the Pistons by three points 2 to 93.

Pistons attack.

Hamilton missed a shot and ended with a Karl Malone rebound.

The Pistons quickly got back on defense.

Ma Long passed the ball to Li Chen.

Li Chen was double-teamed and passed the ball to Elton Brand.

Elton Brand made a European pass to Wang Zhizhi who was open.

Ben Wallace assisted in the defense, and Wang Zhizhi made a fake pass to Li Chen, who escaped the double-team.

After receiving the ball, Li Chen made a jumper and shot towards Billups.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

95 to 90 The Clippers once again expanded their lead.

The Pistons attack and they keep passing the ball looking for the best shot.

Hamilton missed Li Chen's defensive shot, and the Clippers successfully defended.

At this time, a hand-to-hand battle began under the basket, and both Wallaces jumped up to compete with Karl Malone for the rebound.

In the end, Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Beeps.

Billups made a three-point jumper.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

95:93.

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded, and Karl Malone fell to the ground in pain, clutching his ankle.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen's heart sank. It was not a good thing for Ma Long to be injured at the critical moment.

It turned out that Malone twisted his ankle while fighting for a rebound.

After a while, Malone was unable to play after being checked by the team doctor.

There is no doubt about Karl Malone's advantage at the basket. He averaged 10 rebounds per game this season, allowing the Clippers to establish a great inside advantage.

If this game is lost, the next game will be difficult to play, and it is not impossible to be overturned by the Pistons.

Therefore, this game must be won, Li Chen thought secretly.

At the same time, Alvin Gentry called a timeout and began to lay out the next tactics.After a while, Ma Long said firmly: "Coach, I can persist."

Alvin Gentry frowned, and he hesitated because the Clippers were in a really difficult situation without Malone.

Li Chen also frowned and thought about it. After a while, he said: "Carl, I can understand your current mood. Even if you can really play and insist on finishing the game, you will definitely be targeted. At that time, your persistence Maybe to the Clippers..."

Li Chen did not continue, but he knew Ma Longneng and understood the meaning of his words.

At this time, Alvin Gentry heard what Li Chen said, and said decisively: "Carl, don't worry, trust your teammates."

Hearing what Alvin Gentry said, he had nothing to say.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

The two stars are also discussing the Clippers' situation.

"If we can't beat the Pistons in this game, it will be difficult for the Clippers to win." Kenny Smith sighed slightly.

"That's right, except for Li Chen's explosion in the first game and a big victory over the Pistons, the Clippers had a hard time winning the other games. Therefore, the Clippers don't have a strong inside man like Karl Malone, and they have to have at least less rebounds in the front and backcourt. more than half."

Kenny Smith nodded, "So, the Clippers must win this game."

These two senior commentators came to the same conclusion as Li Chen.

The game starts again.

Alvin Gentry brought Korver on, and Wang Zhizhi switched to center.

There are now 90 seconds left in the game. During these 90 seconds, Alvin Gentry decided to attack with all his strength.

Elton Brand throws the ball in.

He saw Li Chen being double-teamed by Prince and Hamilton and directly let Korver go.

Elton Brand thought about it and passed the ball to Korver.

Korver, who was in the open position, decisively shot the basketball in his hand.

Korver stared at the basketball flipping in the air, shouting in his heart: "Goal!"Please go in!
but……

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop.

Yes, the Pistons bet right, no no no!This should be Larry Brown's big bet. He was betting that Korver would not be entrusted with important tasks at critical moments.

Larry Brown actually has a problem, that is, he has great distrust of rookie players.This is also the main reason driving him to make this decision.

However, with the exception of Li Chen, he was the only one who broke his prejudice against rookies.

Yes, he is really good, and the Pistons are playing so hard because of this second-year rookie.

This, Larry Brown has to admire.

Just as the basketball bounced, Double Wallace jumped high and grabbed the basketball with four big hands.

At this critical moment, a fifth hand suddenly appeared in the sky.

I saw him holding the basketball, and then, in the gap between the two Wallaces, he used the impact force to push the two away from the left and right. At this time, Li Chen was like a tank, smashing the two Wallaces apart Wallace, finally put the basketball in the basket.

97 to 93 The Clippers once again opened the score by four points.

Li Chen used practical actions to tell the Pistons that this game will let you go home with peace of mind and the Clippers will win the championship.

The Pistons fans were stunned. Immediately afterwards, there were uniform boos. Damn Clippers No. 16, why is it always him at critical moments?
At the same time, Alvin Gentry in the Clippers' rest area was not very happy when he saw his apprentice score a key goal, but was a little sad.

Because Donald Sterling had ordered him the day before the match that the match must go to a tiebreaker, and he didn't care about the championship.

Karl Malone's unexpected injury made Alvin Gentry know how difficult it is to defeat the Pistons led by his teacher Larry Brown without an inside advantage.

And he knew better that Li Chen would not play match-fixing, so...

This season may be his last.

Because his contract expired, and Donald Sterling will not hire him again as a disobedient coach.

On the court, the Pistons attacked.

Hamilton quickly shuttled between the pitches.

His movements are light, like a cheetah running on the grassland.

Although Korver is full of energy, he still feels like he can't keep up with his rhythm.

Li Chen knows that defending against Hamilton is meaningless now, because he can pass the ball to Billups.

You must know that his shooting percentage in this game is also good.

At this time, Hamilton received a pass from Prince.

Without any hesitation, he threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish!The basketball was hollow into the net, and the three-pointer made by Hamilton was crucial.

97 to 96, the Pistons narrowed the score to only one point difference.

At the same time, there are only 30 seconds left before the end of the game.

The game has entered a critical moment, and the tension of the players on both sides has reached its peak. Now every defense and every offense of the players on both sides may affect the championship color.

Players on both sides feel the pressure on themselves has increased dramatically.

Clippers offense.

Li Chen dribbled the ball through the frontcourt.

As soon as he passed the top of the arc, he immediately started and broke through to the basket at extremely fast speed.

When Prince saw that Li Chen was about to break through the basket, his heart tightened, and he secretly warned himself to guard against this man.

But at this moment, Li Chen suddenly stopped suddenly, and then took a step back to outside the three-point line.

Prince never expected that Li Chen would play this hand with him.

He was anxious and wanted to rush to catch up, but at this moment, a shocking situation occurred.

I saw Prince lying on the floor with a big crotch split.

Seeing this, Li Chen was also taken aback, he never expected such a thing to happen.

But the next moment, he threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

100 to 96, the Clippers are one step closer to the championship.

The referee's whistle sounded.

At the same time, the Pistons fans gasped, they all felt pain for Prince!
After throwing the ball, Li Chen watched Prince's eyes widen, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and he made a gasping sound from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen's mouth twitched crazily, and he thought to himself, is this the legendary nonsense?It certainly lives up to its reputation!What a sad story!
Subsequently, the Pistons team doctor put Prince on a stretcher and carried him out of the game.

After a while, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game.

Pistons attack.

With 10 seconds left and the score 100-96, theoretically as long as the Pistons score the ball in five seconds, then make a tactical foul, and finally score a three-pointer, they can drag the Clippers down. into overtime.

So the last 10 seconds are very critical. The Pistons launched their last attack.

After Billups receives the ball, he shoots.

But Li Chen's defense was like a wall, airtight and did not give Billups a chance.

For example, Puth can only make a fake pass to Hamilton.

When Hamilton just caught the ball, Corey Maggette decisively assisted in defense and Korver pinched Hamilton.

But Hamilton still threw the ball.

5 seconds left.

Boom!I saw the basketball bouncing high, and the basketball kept beating on the hoop.

This goal will be a fork in the road for the Pistons.
