NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 186
The Knicks' starting lineup is:

Li Chen (point guard)
Ariza (shooting guard)

Kurt Thomas (small forward)
Michael Sweetney (power forward)
Vin Baker (center)

……

The Suns starting lineup is:

Steve Nash (point guard)
Quentin Richardson (shooting guard)
Joe Johnson (small forward)
Shawn Marion (power forward)
Stoudemire (center forward)

Knicks fans were dumbfounded when they saw the Knicks' lineup.

At this time, Kenny Smith explained: "Allan Houston, who has performed well recently, is said to have relapsed during training during the day.

Buckley was speechless.

As for the newly transferred Jr. Smith, it is said that he was removed from the starting lineup by coach Alvin Gentry because of his improper training attitude. "Kenny Smith said again.

Buckley was speechless again.

At the same time, hearing Kenny Smith say this, Knicks fans felt chills in their hearts.

"If we continue like this, my idol won't be able to make it far in the playoffs this season." Barkley said with some regret.

Kenny Smith nodded, and he was very sure of Barkley's view. , it is true that the Knicks players are too unreliable.

As for Li Chen's failure to lead the team into the playoffs, Kenny Smith and Barkley did not consider this at all.

After all, the Knicks now have 33 wins, and the Eastern Conference is already weak. As long as they win more than 20 games, they can almost advance to the playoffs.

At this time, Kenny Smith said again: "If Li Chen can turn things around in such an adverse situation, he will become a hero of this city. I think the fans in front of the TV think so too."

Brooklyn, New York, in a pub.

A bearded man said: "If the Dongfang boy can beat the Suns in this game, I will be his biggest fan."

"Yes, Tony, you're right, I thought the same thing."

This scene is played out over and over again in various boroughs of New York.

If some neutral fans in New York really become Knicks fans, I wonder how many fans they will have when the Nets move to New York in 2012?

In the court, when the Knicks players were warming up, Li Chen was shooting while observing the shooting touch of his teammates.

But this sight made his scalp feel a little swollen, because after more than ten shots, Ariza didn't score a single goal.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Chen's mouth twitched, right?Brother, the Knicks are bad enough, why don't they be so awesome?

And the shooting percentages of other players are also hard to describe.

"Boss."

At this moment, a Suns player ran to the half court where the Knicks players were warming up and shouted to Li Chen.

This person is none other than his Clippers teammate Richardson.

"Why did you join the Suns?" Li Chen punched Richard with his fist and said with a smile.

Richardson chuckled and lowered his voice: "That bastard Donald Sterling is so stingy. I performed pretty well last season, but he didn't want to give me a raise. Coincidentally, the Suns gave me an 800 A multi-million contract, so I joined the Phoenix Suns."

Li Chen nodded. Richardson was really good as a substitute last season, and he has a say in this.

Li Chen was also very happy that Richardson could get a big contract, so he said: "Do a good job. By the way, at the end of this season, I will take you to some fun places."

Richardson's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "What are you playing for?"

"Secret." Li Chen said mysteriously.

"Tch..." Li Chen's mysterious appearance attracted Richardson's contempt.

At the same time, this scene was captured by the photographer, giving Li Chen and Richardson a close-up.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Charles, I found something very interesting." "What?" Buckley asked curiously.

"Charles, I don't know if you have noticed that all the players who played with Li Chen did well after leaving the Clippers and got big contracts."

"for example?"

"For example, Andre Miller, with an annual salary of 1000, averaged 18 points and 5 assists per game for the Nuggets. He was the Nuggets' second scoring point. They made it to the playoffs last season. Andre Miller Lieutenant Miller played an important role."

"And Odom, his annual salary is 1200 million. Last season he scored 17.8 points and 8 rebounds with the Heat. He played a major role in the Heat going so far last season. This season, with the Lakers, The performance is not bad, but the Lakers' lineup is so bad this season, whether they can enter the playoffs is a matter of opinion."

"The last one is Richardson, with an annual salary of 875 million. This Clippers substitute player averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game after joining the Suns."

"Li Chen is really a magical boy." Kenny Smith said with emotion.

"Hey! Kenny, you forgot someone."

"Who?"

"Michael Olowokandi," Buckley said.

Kenny Smith was stunned for a moment, then complained: "Him? Even God can't save him."

Apparently Kenny Smith thinks that the No. [-] pick, Michael Olowokandi, just can’t hold up the wall.

At this time, in the stadium, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Escape from Desperate Times], which has appeared several times.

But the mechanism of this skill is very cumbersome.

[Escape from desperate situations: After the score of the home team at the end of each quarter, the host will increase the hit rate by 10%. When the home team is still lagging after half of the fourth quarter, the host stability will increase by 50%. 】

In other words, it can be superimposed up to three times, which is a 30% hit rate. As for the last stability buff, it is difficult to trigger.

Li Chen shook his head helplessly, and then began to wear other skills.

He put on [Unfettered], [Assist Master], [Pull-Up Jumper], and [Magic Ball] in one go.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to wear [Gorgeous], an auxiliary skill that increases coordination.

After the game started, the Knicks didn't have any unexpected "jump ball" failures.

Phoenix Suns offense.

Nash dribbled through the frontcourt, then broke through the emergency stop and passed to Richardson who was cutting through the air.

Richardson scored the ball with a small floater.

2-0, the Suns scored first.

The Knicks attack.

Li Chen broke through Nash's defensive black hole with one step. He really fulfilled that sentence, passing you is like crossing the road in the morning.

Stoudemire was covering the defense under the basket. He jumped high and wanted to give Li Chen a big block.

Li Chen, who was in the air, pulled the lever and switched hands for a layup to avoid his defense, and the basketball hit the board into the basket.

The score was 2-2.

Li Chen's strength made the Knicks fans excited. Their cheers resounded throughout Madison Square Park. There was a light of hope in their hearts. Maybe they still had hope and could really break the record.

On the next possession, Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire hit Vin Baker hard under the basket, but he seemed to be unable to find the shooting touch, and the basketball hit the basket.

The rebound was obtained by Ariza, but Joe Smith was determined to steal the ball.

Ariza cleverly hugged the ball and struggled to shake off Joe Smith's probing hand.

Suns, this offense failed and the Knicks got off to a good start.
