NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 192 The first win in the second round series
But after Buss talked with him for nearly an hour, Kobe was not clamoring about the trade.

As time goes by, the first round of the playoffs has come to an end.

east:

The Heat's strength has greatly increased with the addition of O'Neal.

Even though O'Neal is in his last years, he still has terrifying dominance.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Heat swept the 4ers led by Iverson 0-76 and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

The Pistons defeated the Pacers 4-2 and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

The Wizards defeated the Bulls 4-2 and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

The Knicks led by Li Chen also gave the Cavaliers led by James 4-0.

James and his Cavaliers once again missed the first round of the playoffs.

west:

The Suns swept the Grizzlies 4-0.

The Dallas Mavericks fought the Rockets in seven games and defeated the Rockets with difficulty.

The Spurs eliminated the Nuggets 4-1.

The Sonics also eliminated the Kings 4-1.

The Knicks' opponent in the second round was the Pistons led by Larry Brown.

This game is also a highlight of the second round series of the playoffs. Master and apprentice meet again in the playoffs.

Can Alvin Gentry stop Sensei's run to the title again?

At the same time, the media also discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, for some reason Li Chen was very aggressive when playing against the Pistons. This made them very curious and wondered what the story was.

At this time, the media discovered that Li Chen had too many stories to talk about, and this was simply their favorite!

Li Chen didn't care what the media was thinking. At this time, he was gearing up to give Larry Brown a 4-0.

Li Chen is still very confident about this, because his [God's Blessing] was already unblocked when he won the regular season MVP and assist king.

In the second game of the first round, Li Chen used this skill, and overall it was very good.

However, Wang Zhizhi and Alan Houston were somewhat conflicted.

Especially Wang Zhizhi, who, like himself, has short, capable hair. Once, after Li Chen used [God's Blessing], he found a piece of hair stuck in the palm of his hand. This scene made the corner of his mouth twitch. This thing is too poisonous. .

At the same time, Li Chen also had a weird idea. He didn't know if touching his head would trigger this buff.

However, Li Chen didn't dare to try it. It didn't work. If it really worked, he would be the first man to make himself bald.

However, if he were told not to be impatient, he would still try, but he really didn't want such a day to come.

The Knicks' second-round playoff series begins on May 5.

In the first game, the Knicks challenged the Pistons away from home.

Knicks starting lineup:

Li Chen (point guard)
Crawford (shooting guard)
jr smith (small forward)
Alan Houston (power forward)
Wang Zhizhi (center)

……

Pistons starting lineup:
Billups (point guard)
Hamilton (shooting guard)
Prince (Small Forward)
Ben Wallace (power forward)

Roaring God Wallace (center)

The Pistons attack first.

At the same time, Li Chen’s random S-level skill in this game is [Backboard Monster]

Then he smoothly put on the five skills [Unfettered], [Assist Master], [Fairy Ball], [Pull-Up Jumper], and [God's Blessing].

Billups dribbles across half court.

Hamilton, who got rid of Jr. Smith, ran to the three-point line to catch the ball.

At the same time, Crawford came over to defend Billups closely. Close defense is the most uncomfortable way. Billups, who had no space to shoot, passed the ball to Hamilton.

After receiving the ball, Hamilton faced Jr. Smith's defense and threw the ball out.

"Shh!"

Three point hit!The score is 3-0.The Pistons took the lead.

Knicks offense.

Li Chen dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Billups came over to defend Li Chen, and the two stood one step inside the three-point line.

At the same time, the Knicks players took the Pistons players outside, giving Li Chen space for singles.

Li Chen, on the other hand, adopted a three-threat stance.

Triple threat posture - can break through, shoot, and pass.

This posture makes Li Chen more threatening on the court and puts more pressure on Billups who defends him.

But Billups was not intimidated by Li Chen's triple threat. He calmly observed Li Chen's movements.

His eyes were fixed on Li Chen, and every movement and expression could not escape his discernment.

Billups' defense was very tight, and he seemed to anticipate Li Chen's every move.

Li Chen tried to break through, but Billups' arms were like an iron wall, blocking his way.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly crossed his steps.

It was too sudden, and Li Chen was the first.His steps are too fast. Although Billups has good physical talent, he really can't compete with anyone else, including Li Chen.

So there is no suspense left.

After passing Billups, Li Chen continued to accelerate his breakthrough.

At the same time, Billups reacted and gritted his teeth and followed closely.

At this time, Li Chen made another incredible speed and instantly passed the ball to Jr. Smith who ran out of the space.

Billups really couldn't believe it. Li Chen clearly didn't turn his head to observe his teammates, so why could he pass the basketball accurately?

What left him speechless the most was, why did he pass the ball when he could easily score it?He didn't understand this.

Billups' rhythm was disrupted by this unexpected pass. Although he quickly made up for it, it was too late. Jr. Smith had already firmly shot the open three-pointer.

"Shua!" The basketball went into the net hollowly.

Tied 3-3, the Knicks fired back.

Jr. Smith waved his arms happily after hitting the jumper.He felt like he had the ability to do anything.

He triggered the [Unrestrained] stimulant buff.

He ran towards Li Chen and said loudly: "Chen, I feel that I have a very good touch today. Pass the ball to me and I will definitely make the shot."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and then put his big hand on his head and said seriously: "Jr, make a bold shot, I believe in you, you also have to believe in yourself, you are the best player on the Knicks team." Good shooter."

Of course, this only applies to me.Li Chen added silently in his heart.

JR Smith, who has a childish nature, is easy to fool. He didn't need to be fooled by Li Chen continuously. He would naturally become lame.

JR Smith nodded vigorously. In fact, he thought so too.

Pistons attack.

Billups wanted to continue to play Hamilton, but J.R. Smith, who was added to the stimulant buff, seemed to see through his pass.He flew forward to steal the ball. After the steal, he ran towards his own frontcourt like a wild dog running wild.

But Billups didn't react slowly and immediately went to stop him.

However, JR Smith, who is now buffed by stimulants, is not something Billups can stop.In desperation, Billups could only block the attack with a foul.

This foul is still very cost-effective, after all, the number of fouls does not reach the number of free throws.

The referee's whistle sounded and the Knicks took a throw-in.

After receiving the pass from Crawford, Li Chen was not in a hurry to take action.

Instead, he took Billups in circles outside the three-point line, seemingly looking for opportunities, but in fact he was putting pressure on the Pistons.

Billups is always very nervous when defending Li Chen, fearing that he will break through.

At this time, Li Chen suddenly accelerated and broke through Billups.

However, Ben Wallace had been wary of Li Chen for a long time. When he saw Wallace's body blocking Li Chen, he was like a big mountain, blocking Li Chen from the penalty area.

Li Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and turned his wrist.The ball was passed to J.R. Smith again.

I saw that the latter was not afraid of Hamilton who came to defend him. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew over the tip of his hand and towards the basket.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the net accurately.

6-3 The Knicks lead the Pistons by three points.

The game just started, Jr. Smith scored six points in a row.

Larry Brown's brows were jumping wildly in the Pistons' dugout. You must know that Li Chen made them miserable last season. He never expected that there would be another Jr. Smith this year.Larry Brown has an urge to curse.

On the court, Billups also calmed down. He did not insist on asking Hamilton to force a three-pointer this time. He knew that the Pistons must score goals now, instead of worrying about three-pointers or two-pointers.

So, this time he lobbed the ball to the roaring Wallace under the basket.

After seeing Wallace receive the pass, Wang Zhizhi jumped up and tried to block his shot.

But Wang Zhizhi and the roaring God Wallace are not of the same tonnage. He did not prevent his attack, and Wallace easily threw the ball into the basket.

6 to 5,

Knicks offense.

After Li Chen held the ball across the frontcourt, he then passed the ball to Crawford while observing the situation from the outside.

Crawford broke through, but the Pistons are known as the strongest defense among the 30 teams in the NBA.

After Crawford failed to make consecutive breakthroughs, he passed the ball back to Li Chen.

Li Chen had an idea and made a super long three-point pull-up jumper one meter outside the right three-point line.

His shot was so sudden that even the Pistons players didn't react.Even the Knicks teammates didn't react.

At this moment, Li Chen felt like Curry of later generations shooting three-pointers at will.

"Shh!"

Li Chen's shot hit the net.

In a certain city, a baby-faced boy saw Li Chen's unreasonable three-pointer and jumped excitedly. "It's great, this ball is great." He danced and shouted.

In the first quarter, the two teams refused to give in to each other, and the scores rose alternately. When the first quarter ended, the Knicks led the Pistons by three points, 30-27.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"The Knicks performed better in this quarter and took the initiative in the game." Barkley analyzed.

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "The Knicks need to maintain this state and consolidate their advantage."

Then Kenny Smith changed the subject, "However, in the first quarter, the Pistons fell into the Knicks' rhythm and they failed to play the Pistons' defense."

"Hahaha! I hope the Pistons can give full play to their advantages in the second quarter." Barkley said with a bad smile.

In the second quarter, the New York Knicks seemed to be in trouble, and the Detroit Pistons' defensive strategy caused them a lot of trouble.

The Pistons locked down the Knicks' offensive players and forced them into turnovers at key moments.

At the same time, the Pistons' offense became sharper, and they played many wonderful cooperations to gradually close the score.

The Knicks tried to hold their ground early in the second quarter, but the Pistons' pressing defense made it difficult for them to find suitable scoring opportunities.

The Knicks players were a little uncomfortable with the Pistons' sudden high-intensity defense.

It's like someone who has lived on the plains all their life and suddenly comes to a plateau above 3000 meters above sea level. They will definitely not adapt.So the Knicks' shooting percentage also dropped.

However, the Pistons did not take the opportunity to open up the score, because Li Chen's unyielding character and "rebound monster" played an extremely important role.

Every time, he grabbed the rebound, carried out the second attack, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the double Wallace under the basket.

As the game progressed, other Knicks players gradually found some feeling, and they began to try different offensive methods in an attempt to break down the Pistons' defense.Reduce the burden for Li Chen.

However, the Pistons' defense was still very tenacious and they always put strong pressure on the Knicks.

During this period, Li Chen continued to instill the idea that you are good at the crazy knife Jr. Smith. Of course, feeding the ball is essential.

Jr. Smith just has an out-of-character personality, but he is not a fool. Li Chen was so supportive of him, and he was still very touched.

At the last moment of the second quarter, Jr. Smith finally found his touch. He hit two consecutive three-pointers and temporarily stabilized the situation.

When the second quarter ended, the Knicks were temporarily behind by five points, 50-55.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

“The second quarter was full of tension and excitement, with both teams working hard for the win.

Although the Knicks struggled in the second quarter, they still showed tenacious fighting spirit at critical moments.

Especially Li Chen, his perseverance is worth learning from. "

Kenny Smith praised Li Chen greatly.

Barkley nodded, and then analyzed: The reason why the Knicks were in trouble in the second quarter was because the Pistons strengthened their defense, and they used their signature defense to the fullest. "

"This game is like a sequel to last season, another battle of spears and shields." Kenny Smith said with emotion: "The next game will undoubtedly be more intense and exciting. Let us look forward to both sides being able to do our best for us." An unforgettable game.”

"I'm looking forward to the next great performance from the Knicks."

"I'm looking forward to it too, Charles."

……

15 minutes later, the third quarter began.

After the start of the third quarter, Li Chen made three consecutive three-pointers with pull-up jumpers within 2 minutes, rewriting the score to 59-55.

Li Chen's strong return made Larry Brown of the Pistons frown. Last season, their Pistons were defeated by this bastard boy with such unreasonable three-pointers. He didn't understand. This kid's three-pointers Why is the ball so accurate?

As his mind was spinning, Larry Brown knew that Li Chen could not be allowed to shoot like this and his offensive rhythm must be interrupted. He knew that Li Chen had the ability to kill the game.

So he decisively called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Li Chen's touch indeed dropped, but Li Chen did not panic. After his unremitting efforts, he successfully triggered the "head-touch kill" when Jr. Smith lost three hairs.

Li Chen is very aware of the power of "killing by touching the head". Coupled with the [Assist Master], Li Chen fully believes that he can feed Jr. Smith into an All-Star.

Therefore, under the joint efforts of Li Chen and Jr. Smith, the Pistons were beaten to a pulp and had no power to fight back.

In the end, the Knicks again bloodbathed the Pistons 118:98.
