NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 190 All-Star Game (4000)

After Li Ruping fucked Li Yanhong, she went south non-stop to find a man named Zhang Xiaolong.

Li Ruping used her money skills to find Zhang Xiaolong. No surprise, his VX chat software was quickly acquired.

Although Li Chen also owns Penguin stocks, this is not the reason for him to give up VX.

But this is not the end, just a beginning. Li Chen has the ability to invest in various ways.

In New York, USA, at around 10 o'clock the next morning, Li Chen had just finished today's strength training when he was called into the office by Dolan.

Dolan didn't mince words and went straight to talk about renewing his contract next season.

He took out a check and put it on the table, then pushed it in front of Li Chen and said proudly: "Chen, I am very satisfied with your performance. I hope you can sign a contract with the Knicks for at least three years." With a long-term contract, it’s a blank check and you can put in whatever amount you want.”

Li Chen was stunned by Dolan's handiwork, and he was also shocked by Dolan's generosity.

He just thought about it and rejected Dolan's kindness. He returned the blank check and apologized: "Sorry, Mr. Dolan, I can't renew my contract with the Knicks."

Dolan was slightly stunned and asked in disbelief: "Why? Chen, I'm not kidding you. You can really write any number you want on this blank check."

Li Chen still shook his head and said: "Mr. Dolan, this is not a question of money."

Dolan was a little surprised. To be honest, he didn't understand what Li Chen wanted to do.

After a while, Li Chen told Dolan the reason.

Hearing Li Chen's reasons, Dolan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Chen wanted to buy an NBA team after retiring.

Therefore, in order to canvass votes, he has to travel among various teams, using himself as a bargaining chip to canvass votes for himself.

Yes, if you want to be the owner of an NBA team, you must not only have money, but also have the approval of more than half of the other 30 team owners to own your own NBA team.

I have to say that Li Chen is really a business wizard.

Subsequently, Dolan persuaded 10 NBA owners to agree to reach an agreement with Li Chen. Li Chen would reach a three-year maximum salary contract with the Knicks.

The next day, the Knicks official website published an article stating that Li Chen will play for the Knicks for the next three seasons. This news made Knicks fans very excited.

Because Li Chen joined this season, the Knicks have undergone earth-shaking changes and once became the most capable team in the NBA to win the championship.How does that not excite them?

On the next game day, when the Knicks were on their way to a 35-game winning streak, they were defeated by the Rockets on the road.

This year the Rockets have a very strong preseason with Tracy McGrady joining them. As for the playoffs?
McGrady is a typical regular season king and a bronze player in the playoffs. Otherwise, the Magic would not have made it past the first round of the playoffs.

And his body is really hard to describe.

Although the Knicks lost, Li Chen scored 45 points in this game. This is completely a sign that the goddess of victory has moved on and finally waved to the Rockets.

After that, the Knicks lost to the Bucks again.

Li Chen was kicked out again in this game.

The stepping-stone player is Bucks rookie Pachulia.

The reason this time was because Li Chen dunked Pachulia during an attack.

The young Pachulia held a grudge, so he grew evil.

Li Chen also didn't expect that Pachulia was a foot-stepping maniac when he was young.

However, Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Gorgeous], an S-level auxiliary skill that increases his coordination by 50%. He has no serious injuries.

It is worth mentioning that this stepping foot also established Li Chen's reputation as a ecstasy foot.

Because Li Chen kicked Pachulia again.

The media finally knew that this guy must have done it on purpose.

Bowen wanted to cry. I told him that he did it on purpose. You didn’t believe it at the time. Do you understand now?

But Li Chen refused to admit that he did it on purpose and insisted that it was a coincidence.

The young Pachulia was not as lucky as Bowen, and this kid directly became the King of No-O.

But Li Chen was not criticized by the fans. Instead, he applauded him and threatened to play well and beautifully.

Li Chen will also miss all games in January.

Without Li Chen's pass, the Knicks were instantly knocked back to their original shape and became a second-rate team, ushering in a five-game losing streak.

分别以88比82输给了鹈鹕，86比84，88比86连续两场输给了公牛，98比81输给了猛龙，最后61比91大败给活塞队。

At the same time, NBA All-Star voting has begun. Li Chen has a large number of domestic fans and fans in New York, the largest city in the United States, as well as some fans in Los Angeles, allowing him to lead other players by 10 votes in the first round of voting.

When Li Chen returned on February 2, the Knicks lost 6 games one after another.

When Li Chen came on the stage again, he was greeted by cheers from Knicks fans.

Li Chen did not disappoint the fans.

Under his leadership, the Knicks seem to be a new team.

They defeated the Kings 120-115 in succession.

Defeated the Suns 121-114.

Defeated the Jazz 110-99.

Defeated the Heat 121-116.

Defeat the Celtics 112 to 111.

When the voting deadline came on February 2, Li Chen led the vote with 16 million votes.

It is worth mentioning that Li Chen and Avril Lavigne had a good Valentine's Day, and in the end Li Chen managed Avril Lavigne submissively.

On February 2, the NBA All-Star Game was held in Denver.

Before the main game started, Li Chen caught a glimpse of Kobe Bryant, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After Li Chen walked over, he patted him hard on the shoulder.

Kobe's body froze, then he slowly turned around and said expressionlessly: "It turns out to be Li Chen!"

At this time, Yao Ming and Li Chen waved and greeted him.

After Li Chen said hello to Yao Ming, he looked at Kobe and he showed a half-smile.

That's right, Kobe hasn't answered his phone calls for the past two months, no!To be precise, this call never went through.

Li Chen felt that Kobe must have blocked him.

But before Li Chen could sneer at Kobe, Kobe turned him around.

"Chen, why don't you answer my call? It happens every time."

Li Chen was stunned when he heard Kobe's question, and then the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

He never expected that Kobe would be so shameless. He was obviously the one who blocked him, but now the evildoer complained first.Li Chen was too lazy to get to know Kobe, a petty and face-saving guy.After all, these people are here to save him some face.

At the same time, seeing that Li Chen did not mention the Lakers' record this year, Kobe was slightly relieved, thinking that he could release Li Chen from the mobile phone blacklist tomorrow.

In 2005, the first Eastern and Western Conference starting lineups for the All-Star Game were:

Eastern Conference head coach: Van Gundy (Heat)
Eastern starting lineup: Li Chen (Knicks), Iverson (76ers), Carter (Nets), James (Cavaliers), O'Neal (Heat)
Eastern Substitutes: Arenas (Wizards), Jamilson (Wizards), Wade (Heat), Ilgauskas (Cavaliers), O'Neal (Pacers), Pierce (Celtics), Wallace Shi (piston).

Western Conference head coach: Popovich (Spurs).

West starting lineup: Tracy McGrady (Rockets), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Garnett (Timberwolves), Duncan (Spurs), Yao Ming (Rockets).

Western Conference substitutes: Ginobili (Spurs), Lewis (SuperSonics), Stoudemire (Suns), Allen (SuperSonics), Marion (Suns), Nash (Suns), Dirk Nowitzki (Junior) ox).

Since the Knicks double-killed the Suns, causing the Suns' record to drop to No. 2, Popovich hired an All-Star head coach.

The NBA has regulations that stipulate that the head coach of the NBA All-Stars last season is not allowed to serve as the head coach of the All-Stars consecutively.

Therefore, the head coach of the Eastern Conference fell on the head coach of the Heat, who ranked second this year.

The lively scene of the 2005 NBA opening ceremony seems to be unfolding before our eyes. It is a passionate and energetic night. Fans gather here from all over the world just to witness the grand opening of this season.

In the Pepsi Center Arena, golden lights illuminated the stands. The spectators were dressed in the jerseys of the teams they supported and their faces were painted in various colors. They held beers and shouted loudly, preparing for the fierce competition that followed.

As the players took the stage one by one, their personal promotional videos were played on the big screens in the stands.

The fans looked at their heroes with eyes full of reverence and expectation.

The whistle sounded to start the game, and the players got into the mood instantly.

They ran around the court, basketballs flying in their hands, and every time they scored a goal, the audience cheered enthusiastically.

They sweated on the court and ignited the entire stadium with passion.

The atmosphere in the stands also continued to heat up as the game progressed.

Fans jumped, raised their hands in the air, and cheered wildly for their supporters.

Those colorful banners and slogans shined under the lights, adding more color and vitality to the stadium.

This game is just an entertainment game, but only two people are particularly serious.

This is the original Los Angeles early morning duo.

Kobe did it because of his personality, while Li Chen did it because the head coach of the Western Conference was Popovich and he wanted to embarrass Popovich.

When the first quarter ended, the East led the West 40-28.

This made the fans a little confused. Is this really the case that the West is strong and the East is weak?
Why do they have the illusion that the West is being crushed by the East?

Van Gundy of the Eastern League was shocked. Li Chen was too strong.

He only made three shots and scored 9 points, but he also had 8 assists.

Seeing this scene, Western Conference head coach Popovich's brows were beating wildly, and he had a bad feeling.

Of course, he is not worried about this inconsequential show game like the NBA All-Stars.

What he is worried about is if they reach the finals, what if they meet the Knicks led by Li Chen again?
Now he regrets his original decision. Obviously this Eastern boy is very vindictive.

This caused him to feel as if he was on stimulants every time he played against the Spurs, which was particularly terrifying.

Since the 2003 season and the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs have not defeated the Clippers led by Li Chen in a game. Even the Knicks have not won this season.

However, this feeling of regret was quickly thrown out of his mind because he believed in Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili.

After a while, the second quarter of the game started.

Li Chen was not sent on the court throughout the second quarter because Van Gundy really didn't dare to let Li Chen play. He was afraid that Li Chen would go crazy and make the game lose suspense.In fact, this is also the unspoken rule of the NBA All-Star Game.

After the start of the second quarter, the Western Conference caught up, and the Eastern Conference was quickly overtaken.

When the first half ended, the Eastern Conference trailed the Western Conference by 10 points, which caused dissatisfaction among fans who supported the Eastern Conference.

After the start of the third quarter, Li Chen finally appeared again.

As soon as he came on the scene, he raised the tempo of the game to a very fast pace.

He could tell from the beginning of the second quarter that Van Gundy deliberately let the game get into a stalemate and wait until the fourth quarter to decide the winner again.

But... this is not what Li Chen wants.

As soon as Li Chen came on the court in the third quarter, he turned off the passing button. He turned on unparalleled mode and made consecutive three-pointers and pull-up jumpers.

After shooting ten three-pointers in a row, Li Chen's crazy performance brought the All-Star Game to a climax early.

The third quarter became Li Chen's personal exhibition game, which made the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference very dissatisfied.

They didn't pass the ball to Li Chen at first, but Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game was [Rebounder Monster]. If you don't pass the ball to me, then I will grab it myself.

The Western Conference All-Star players were also dissatisfied. The Western Conference All-Star players began to get serious and started targeting Li Chen.

Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming looked at each other in the Western Conference. They both saw an emotion in each other's eyes, that is, Li Chen was furious.

No one in the Western Conference can guard Li Chen alone. Let's talk about double teams. If Li Chen is successfully suppressed, it will be okay. If he can't guard against double teams, it will be too shameful.

No matter how much Popovich gets angry, these stars regard his words as farts and no one pays attention to him at all. They are not from the Spurs anyway.

Among the Eastern All-Stars, James is the smartest one. He is very concerned about Li Chen. He knows that Li Chen was once stepped down by Bowen, and there is a rumor that this is what Popovich meant.

So he knew that Li Chen wanted to make Popovich look bad, so he simply received the pass and passed it to Li Chen.

When the other players saw James, they all rebelled. It was pointless for them to boycott Li Chen, so...

At the same time, when Van Gundy saw that Li Chen was so vindictive, he didn't want to get into trouble with Li Chen. He didn't want to become the second Popovich, so he didn't replace Li Chen again.

When the game ended, the Eastern Conference All-Stars defeated the Western Conference 143 to 110.

In the Eastern Conference, Li Chen scored 35 points, 25 assists, and 10 rebounds. Other players also scored 20+, and James actually scored 30 points.

At the same time, some Eastern All-Star players also know why the Western Conference's offense was so fierce last season. It turns out that it all happened because of the bastard Li Chen.

This guy is really amazing with his passes and makes them very comfortable.

The MVP of this NBA All-Star Game is undoubtedly Li Chen.

When David Stern presented him with the MVP trophy, he whispered: "Look at the trouble you caused in this All-Star Game."

"Aren't the fans very happy? Isn't that enough?" Li Chen replied in a low voice.

David Stern “…”

After the All-Star Game ended successfully, Li Chen returned to New York. He called Kobe Bryant's phone again and got through smoothly, which left him speechless.

In the next game, the Knicks won ten consecutive games to end the February schedule.
