NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 183 The best of the game jr Smith

The Cavaliers took the inbounds pass and Marbury passed the ball to LeBron James.

LeBron James took the basketball and quickly broke through. His strong body was like a tank, breaking through to the Knicks inside.

James' "breakthrough" attracted the attention of Alan Houston and Ariza.

In this game, Ariza mainly defends James, and Alan Houston assists in defense. Alvin Gentry's task for the two is to double-team James as soon as he gets the ball.

But it can also be seen from the goal just now that it seems to have little effect.

Seeing James attracted two Knicks players to defend him, he took a European step and passed the ball to teammate Goskas.

After catching the ball steadily, Goskas jumped up and dunked with both hands without hesitation.

This continuous and smooth offensive attack made Cavaliers fans excited.

However, at this moment, a figure emerged from the sky, a big hand blocked in front of Goskas, and then the big hand slapped the basketball between his hands hard.

A terrifying force burst out from Li Chen's perfect figure, and he slapped the basketball and Goskas out of the air.

Goskarstenden took two steps back, unsteady and sat down on the ground.

The basketball hit the floor hard and then flew towards the sideline.

But just when the Cavaliers players thought it was a side ball.

I saw a figure running towards the basketball like a hungry tiger rushing for food. He saved the basketball at the last moment.

The moment he fell to the ground, he moved the basketball towards Li Chen's position.

This scene greatly exceeded Li Chen and the Cavaliers players' expectations.

Li Chen didn't react slowly. He immediately opened his hands to catch this precious ball.

But LeBron James reacted neither slowly nor slowly. He cut off the basketball before Li Chen received the ball, but he failed to control his strength and the basketball was touched beyond the baseline.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Charles, maybe I know why Li Chen insists on getting Jr. Smith to the Knicks."

"How do you say that?" Buckley asked.

"You saw it too, or maybe Li Chen just took a fancy to his desperate energy."

Barkley nodded, "Yes! Although J.R. Smith's foul just now resulted in Li Chen's score being invalid, this desperate flying save can be regarded as making up for it."

On the court, Li Chen pulled Jr. Smith up, slapped him in the face and praised: "Boy, you did a great job."

Hearing Li Chen's praise, Jr. Smith grinned and was very excited.

Li Chen was slightly stunned when he looked at Jr. Smith, whose eyelashes were about to bloom with laughter.

At this moment, he seemed to have found the correct way to use Jr Smith.

Crawford passed the ball to Li Chen.

Li Chen advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

At this time, Marbury applied like a dog-skin plaster.

His close defense made Li Chen uncomfortable.

At this time, Li Chen suddenly accelerated and used his speed to forcefully break through Marbury.

Seeing this scene, Ira Nubel immediately chose to encircle and suppress Li Chen.

Li Chen suddenly stopped, moved his body dexterously, and used the change in his body's center of gravity to get rid of his defense.

Seeing this scene, James immediately defended.

The strong field of vision allowed Li Chen to clearly observe the location of his teammates, so he did not need to confront James head-on.

Because his main task this year is to reflect the strength of his teammates and weaken his own role, so as to increase their value.

Only in this way can the old fox Morey be tricked.

I saw him quickly throwing the basketball into the air. At this time, Jr. Smith, who had reached the basket, jumped up high, held the basketball with one hand, and then slammed the basketball into the basket. After Jr. Smith dunked successfully, he ran over and high-fived Li Chen to celebrate, and then came to praise my expression.

Seeing this, the corner of Li Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he patted Jr. Smith's shoulder hard and sincerely praised: "Well done."

But I was complaining in my heart, when did acting become a necessary skill for playing basketball?

Jr. Smith, who received praise in the next game, began to let himself go.

He became more and more confident in the game.

Every steal and every difficult shot is amazing. He shows the attributes and passion of a top-notch sharpshooter.

His steals were hard to guard against, and every time they seemed to be impromptu, this made the Cavaliers complain endlessly.

At the same time, Crawford, Ariza, and Alan Houston also performed outstandingly.

When the first quarter ended, the Knicks led the Cavaliers by 40, 30-10.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Cavaliers by 70 points, 50-20.

At the end of halftime, James pinched his waist and silently watched the score of 70-50. After a long time, he turned and walked towards the corridor of the lounge.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Charles, I have to admit that the Knicks' tactics are really good."

Barkley nodded and said: "Yes! The three Knicks players each lurked at a shooting point on the three-point line. In this way, the Cavaliers' defense was cut open."

"The great thing about this tactic is that it prevents the Cavaliers from being able to double-team Li Chen. If he is not double-teamed, Li Chen can easily score. If he is double-teamed, Li Chen will pass the ball and the Cavaliers will not even have time to cover up."

"I have to admit that Alvin Gentry is really talented. They say Nelson is a scientist in the basketball world. I think Alvin Gentry is no less generous!" Barkley complained.

"This tactic still has weaknesses." Kenny Smith said.

"What?" Buckley asked pretending to be confused.

Kenny Smith smiled slightly, "The key to this tactic is the Knicks' outside shooting percentage."

"Hey, hey, hey! Kenny, look at their outside shooting percentage today, which is over 50%!"

Kenny Smith "…"

"But they can't maintain such a horrific shooting percentage every game." Kenny Smith continued.

"At least in this game, they are invincible."

Kenny Smith agrees.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Jr. Smith showed what is called a nerve knife attribute, and his shooting is called accurate.

Even Li Chen couldn't tell whether this guy had triggered the stimulant buff or if he had his own excitement properties.

When the game ended, the Knicks held the Cavaliers to the floor of Quicken Loans Arena, 131-107.

During this period, Crawford was injured while guarding James, which was a big loss to the Knicks.

In this game, James played 32 minutes, 14 of 10 shots, 26 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 6 of 6 free throws.

James shot 70% from the field in this game, but he could only accept failure under the bombardment of the Knicks.

马布里出场30分钟，15投7中，20分，6助攻，三分球3中1罚球6中5。

For the Knicks, the highest scorer was not Li Chen, but Jr. Smith, who scored 40 points.

As expected, this guy has no martial ethics. In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers surrendered, but this guy still couldn't get off the court.

Alvin Gentry is happy today. Fortunately, Jr. Smith was not replaced.

Crawford had 16 points, Alan Johnson had 13 points and Ariza had 18 points.

Li Chen played 35 minutes in this game, making 10 of 7 shots, 20 points, 18 assists, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws.

Meanwhile, the Knicks tied the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.
