NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 188 Accident
On the court, Jr. Smith was seen clutching his thigh and grinning.

At this time, the team doctor and Alvin Gentry ran into the field.

Alvin Gentry only has one emotion right now, and that is bitterness. The Knicks finally caught up with the score, but Jr. Smith, who performed brilliantly in the second quarter, was injured again, and I was convinced.

Li Chen also ran over to take a look at the situation. However, Li Chen did not think that Jr. Smith was injured, because he was still alive and kicking just now, and there was no confrontational action. How could he be injured accidentally.

So there is only one answer, and that is that this guy triggered the stimulant buff, and it may not be just once. In addition, this guy also spent the night in a nightclub. He would be damned if he didn't do this.

After a while, as Li Chen had guessed, Jr Smith suffered from thigh cramps due to overexertion.

After some treatment during the game, Jr. Smith was no longer in serious trouble, but don’t think about the game.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Alas! Even God doesn't want the Knicks to break the record!" Kenny Smith said sincerely.

Yes, first the main players were injured one after another, and now Jr. Smith cannot play. This game is really difficult.

The Knicks players, who had just raised their hopes, were once again ruthlessly devastated by reality.

At this moment, Jr. Smith blamed himself. If he had not gone to the nightclub last night, he would not be exhausted today.

At this moment, a big hand placed on his head and said kindly: "Jr, you did a great job, leave the rest to me."

Jr. Smith suddenly looked up and looked at Li Chen's admiring eyes. He was full of energy. He stood up forcefully and said: "Coach, I have no problem, I can continue to play."

Li Chen's eyelids twitched. Damn it, what kind of freak is Jr. Smith?

Although Jr. Smith said there was no problem, in the end, Alvin Gentry followed the team doctor's advice and did not agree to Jr. Smith continuing to stay on the court.

When the second quarter ended, the Knicks trailed the Suns by 60 points, 65-5.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"The Phoenix Suns are worthy of being the No. [-] team in the Western Conference. Their scoring ability is too strong. If the Knicks didn't have Jr. Smith's six consecutive three-pointers, the Knicks would probably be defeated."

"Hey, hey, hey! Kenny, don't forget, Chen, he is the man who scored 66 points in the finals. If he goes crazy, the Suns simply can't stop him."

Kenny Smith opened his mouth, but finally gave up the idea of ​​betting.

After the start of the third quarter, Li Chen encountered strict defense. His teammates' shots were frequently hit, and the Knicks fell into an unprecedented predicament.

On the other hand, the Suns played vigorously. Whether it was Stoudemire's hard hitting under the basket, Marion's mid-range shot, or Richardson's three-pointer, the shooting percentage was extremely high.

The changes on the court made Knicks fans despair. When they were desperate, they would make irrational actions, such as "booing" Li Chen, unable to turn the tide.

Dolan, who was in the VIP room, was lost in thought. It seemed he had to take action himself!Although Li Chen is great, his teammates are also terrible.

At the same time, Avril Lavigne, who was sitting next to the Knicks bench, also clasped her hands, her little face full of nervousness.

However, just when the Knicks seemed desperate, Li Chen showed the stability of his FMVP at critical moments.

He broke through the Suns' defense time and time again, stabilizing the Knicks' decline, and then used his own ability to contain the Suns players, and then made a series of small-range passes, allowing his teammates to regain their confidence in shooting.

The successive attacks allowed the Knicks to gradually catch up, rekindling the fans' hope.This roller coaster ride brings pain and joy to Knicks fans.

In the Suns dugout, when D'Antoni saw Li Chen's organizational and personal abilities, as well as his performance in the team's critical moments, he felt loved.

This kind of ability can be called the ceiling of a point guard. If the Suns have him, he can issue a military order and he will definitely win the championship.The reason why D'Antoni dares to be so sure is because the tactics of Li Chen and the Suns are so matched.

Thinking of this, D'Antoni feels that he should do something next season...such as poaching the Knicks.

At the same time, Li Chen's ability also made D'Antoni jealous, and he realized the importance of Li Chen.

He is the engine of the Knicks. As long as this engine does not collapse, the Knicks may come back at any time.

So D'Antoni decided to strengthen his defense against Li Chen.

So often when Li Chen gets the ball, the Suns will double-team like crazy, which limits his performance despite his mediocre touch.

However, Li Chen didn't panic. He began to rely more on the tacit passing cooperation of his teammates to help the team break the Suns' blockade.

At the same time, Li Chen has become more flexible in his offense. He no longer sticks to one style of play, but uses his own wisdom and creativity to find opportunities to score goals.

Later, when Li Chen scored goals one by one through tacit cooperation with his teammates and flexible attacks, the atmosphere on the court became increasingly tense.

Knicks fans have hope in their hearts and secretly admire in their hearts. He is worthy of being the FMVP last season. He is so reliable.

Seeing this scene, Dolan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, followed by pride, but then came a serious problem, that is, contract renewal.

You know, after paying so much, the Knicks only have a one-year contract.

This is also the reason why the outside world says that Dolan people are stupid and rich in money.

However, Dolan doesn't think so, because with this one-year buffer, as long as he is given a maximum salary, he believes that Li Chen will continue to play for his Knicks.

Avril's nervous mood relaxed next to the Knicks' dugout. Sure enough, if the team wants to win, it depends on her man!A touch of pride showed in her beautiful eyes under smoky makeup.

On the court, the tight defense surrounding Li Chen made the game full of suspense.

The anxiety brought by Li Chen to the Suns has gradually become the Knicks' biggest bargaining chip in their counterattack.

All this proves Li Chen's value and importance, and he has become the key player in the game.

A few minutes later, Ariza and Vin Baker finally stood up.

They shared part of the pressure for Li Chen. Ariza hit two consecutive three-pointers. Vin Baker caused a foul on Stoudemire and stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

When the third quarter ended, the Knicks trailed the Suns by 96 points, 100-4.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"Kenny, the Suns' offense is too strong."

"Yeah! In just three quarters, the Suns scored 100 points. The Suns' offensive capabilities this season are outrageous." Kenny Smith echoed.

"However, the Knicks can still keep up with the Suns, and the most important thing is that the Knicks are still in a semi-disabled state."

Buckley chuckled mischievously, and the meaning behind his words was beyond words.

Kenny Smith "…"

After a moment of silence, Kenny Smith said: "However, the Knicks are not in a good situation because Li Chen's shooting percentage is not very good. His sharpest scoring method, the pull-up jump shot, only hit 40% today. Therefore, It can be seen that he felt really bad today."
