NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 223 Kobe is the Super God
As the game progressed, the Knicks' offense became smoother and smoother.

They once led the Lakers by 8 points, but with about 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers launched a sharp counterattack. Yao Ming scored consecutively from the basket and caused a foul on the substitute center who had just been replaced.

At the same time, Kobe also contributed a breakthrough layup.

The Lakers beat the Knicks on an 8-2 spurt. In the end, the Knicks temporarily led the Lakers by two points, 28-26.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"In the first quarter, Li Chen did a good job of limiting Kobe's scoring ability. However, regarding Yao Ming, the Knicks' defensive effect was not satisfactory."

"Kenny, Wang is now an outside player. His weight is not as good as Yao's weight loss. It is normal that he cannot carry Yao."

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement with Barkley's words, and then he complained again: "Odom has played very softly in the past two years. He is completely different from before. He also suffered a lot against Bynum."

"Oh! What a pity. It is said that he became soft after dating Khloe Kardashian." Barkley sneered.

Kenny Smith did not make a statement on this issue but said: "In the last attack, Kobe's difficult fadeaway jump shot was incredible. It is conceivable that the Knicks may be in trouble in the second quarter of the game. .”

"Hahaha! It's good to be in trouble!" Buckley pretended to be excited.

On the other side, Li Chen, who was in the Knicks dugout, sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that Kobe was going to go berserk and that the Knicks would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, but it's okay to defeat you at your peak and see what else you have to say.

"Hey! Chen, why are you giggling?"

Li Chen glanced at Odom and said, "I was thinking about how to save your brother from the fire. I decided to use [-] million to make Khloe Kardashian leave you."

Odom "..."

At the beginning of the second quarter, all the Knicks' main players except Li Chen came off the court.

Now the Knicks are on the court with Li Chen, Lowry, Lou Williams, Tucker, and Paul Millsap.

For the Lakers, Kobe and Bynum stayed on the court.

Li Chen was outside the three-point line, constantly looking for offensive opportunities and constantly directing his teammates to move.

At this time, he signaled Paul Millsap to cooperate with him in a pick-and-roll screen.

Li Chen took this opportunity to successfully break through Kobe's entanglement.

He drove straight down and hit a one-handed chop.

30:26.

In the next round, Kobe received a pass from Bynum, used a pick-and-roll screen to get rid of Li Chen, broke through and went two-on-one for a layup, and successfully tied 2+1.

Uh-huh!Kobe also made free throws.

30:29.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen and Kobe entered a one-on-one duel.

The showdown between the King of Los Angeles and the King of New York made Knicks fans roar with excitement.

Li Chen dribbled the ball while always observing Kobe's reactions and movements.

Kobe knew Li Chen so well that they now competed against each other for a few days every offseason.

At this time Li Chen made a move. He wanted to pass Kobe in one step, but Kobe would not let him get his wish.

Seeing Kobe's uncompromising attitude, he sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that you were asking for it.

So Li Chen began to use the behind-the-back dribbling, cross dribbling and rapid change of rhythm.

At first, Kobe was able to cope with it easily, but at this moment, his feet suddenly went weak.

He knew it was bad at this moment, but Kobe just staggered.

But who is Li Chen? He is one of the best in the NBA right now. He immediately pulls up and shoots a jumper.

The figure is beautiful and picturesque.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Kobe's defense of subconsciously raising his hands became the biggest background wall.

The cheers in Madison Square Park made Kobe depressed. He really couldn't accept this result!
After Li Chen finished shooting, he patted Kobe on the shoulder and joked: "Little Kobe, your defense has regressed!"

Kobe swatted Li Chen's hand away, glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't be proud, I will return it in the next round."

Sure enough, Kobe was a man who kept his word, and he didn't need his pull-up jumper to return Li Chen's goal in the next round.

In this way, the entire second quarter of the game became a one-on-one session between Li Chen and Kobe.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams agreed 58 to 57, with the Knicks temporarily leading and the Lakers by one point.

The battle resumed in the third quarter. When it reached the second half of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant, who went all out to defend Li Chen, was obviously not as physically strong as Li Chen. His speed obviously could not keep up with Li Chen's rhythm.

Phil Jackson, who had been paying close attention to the situation on the field, immediately saw this situation, and his heart sank.

Kobe is too important in this game. Without him to contain Li Chen, the Oriental boy will be unstoppable. By then, the Lakers will really have no hope.

No, Kobe must take a rest now to recover his strength, but who will defend Li Chen when Kobe is off.

Yes, no one on the Lakers can guard Li Chen now. If Li Chen takes this opportunity to throw in a few three-pointers crazily, by then...

Phil Jackson subconsciously pushed up his glasses. At this moment, he had the same idea as Popovich, which was to cancel that damn three-pointer.

No, we must find a safe way. Phil Jackson is indeed a champion coach. Is his brain spinning rapidly?After a while, I came up with a good idea.

So, he first called a timeout, then took Kobe off the court to rest, and told the players to take their time.

When the timeout ended, Alvin Gentry's eyes narrowed slightly and he seemed to move away.Phil Jackson's purpose, so...

He also called for a timeout and began to plan the next tactics.

Li Chen was speechless at this time. He now felt that his coach was an undercover agent of the Lakers. Now Kobe needed rest time the most, but his coach was so good. He immediately gave up his timeout like a close uncle to let Kobe rest.He was also drunk.

But Alvin Gentry obviously didn't notice this. Now he is talking eloquently, explaining to the players the next tactical deployment of their Knicks team.

At the end of the timeout, the Knicks kept stealing, forcing the Lakers to attack quickly, otherwise it would be more than worth the gain if the ball was lost.

On the other side, Phil Jackson, who had just been laughing at Alvin Gentry's amazing assist, frowned again.

He was also a little surprised that Alvin Gentry could see through his purpose at a glance.

It seems that the only way to use timeout tactics is to let Kobe rest.

Several timeouts allowed Kobe to regain a lot of blood, but his physical strength was obviously not comparable to Li Chen.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Lakers by 80 points 75-5.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Kobe felt bad and hit shots one after another. Li Chen made one of three shots better than Kobe.

Seeing that Li Chen's shooting was not good either, Kobe felt relieved, so he hit the iron happily again.

But Li Chen didn't play with Kobe anymore, he chose to pass the ball.

Odom and Wang Zhizhi hit shots one after another, giving the Knicks a further one-point lead.

Kobe never expected that Li Chen would pass the ball without respecting martial ethics.The little blacksmith was so angry!

So Kobe began to pass the ball. In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming was really good at the basket and scored frequently, which made the Knicks' lead less stable.

As a result, Li Chen frequently misplaced his defense against Yao Ming, and his offensive efficiency dropped significantly.

This scene left Phil Jackson speechless and Yao Ming speechless. They didn't know what the situation was.

Yao Ming, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly felt that the ball would not go in. He even lost confidence in himself and the chance of making the ball was extremely slim.

As a result, the Lakers fell into a three-minute scoring drought, but at this moment, Kobe stood up again.

Quickly, two consecutive three-pointers reduced the score to 95-90.

But there are only 2 minutes left in the game, and the ball is still in the hands of the Knicks.

Li Chen broke through and made a layup, causing Byrum's thug to foul. The [Magic Ball] was triggered, and Li Chen scored 2+1.

Li Chen goes to the free throw line, oh!Free throws were made steadily.

98 to 90.The Lakers attacked, and Fisher lobbed the ball to Yao Ming under the basket, but the ball was destroyed by Wang Zhizhi and went out of the baseline.

The baseline for the Lakers.

Fisher passed the ball to Kobe outside the three-point line. Kobe started from outside the three-point line. He broke through the penalty area like a sharp arrow and avoided Odom's block to score the ball.

98:96.

During the transition between offense and defense, Li Chen dribbled the ball past the frontcourt and started delaying tactics.

The impatient Kobe made a suicidal steal, which was used by Li Chen. He successfully broke through Kobe's entanglement and broke through for a layup, causing Yao Ming to foul 4 times.

This time the [Magic Ball] skill was not triggered, and Li Chen got two free throw opportunities.

Swish!Li Chen made two free throws.

100:92.

100 seconds left.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe missed a jump shot, and Yao Ming made a dunk under the basket and scored the ball.

100:94.

90 seconds left.

Next, Li Chen received a pass from Kidd and wanted to delay time.

But Kobe's defense was very aggressive. Li Chen was able to give up the idea of ​​delaying time, so he faked a move to sway Kobe, but Kobe was not fooled. He passed the ball to Richardson who cut inside the basket.

However, his shot was interfered by Yao Ming and the basketball hit the basket. Wang Zhizhi passed the ball to Odom in the air.

Odom wanted to shake up Yao Ming, who was defending, but failed the first time, and then Odom made a jumper.

Yao Ming's quick hands and quick eyes gave Odom a big block, and the basketball flew out of the sideline.

At this time, Li Chen slapped Odom on the butt with a depressed look and said: "Lamar, this shot was beautiful."

The corner of Odom's mouth twitched, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, hey! Are you laughing at me?"

Li Chen punched Odom and said, "You pig brain, didn't you realize that we have another [-] or [-] seconds of attack time?"

After hearing this, Odom suddenly realized, "Oh, it's true!"

The depressed look on Odom's face disappeared.

The Knicks sent a sideline ball, and Kidd passed the ball to Li Chen.

After Li Chen caught the ball, he kept entangled with Kobe to consume the attack time.

Fisher knew that time was running out, so he came to double-team Li Chen.

Li Chen's eyes lit up, and he knew his chance had come.

I saw him passing the ball to Kidd first, and then flexibly passed Kobe.

Then Kidd will pass the ball back to Li Chen.

At this time, Yao Ming came out from the basket to defend.

Li Chen stopped suddenly and made a shooting gesture.

Yao Ming had no doubts because Li Chen often made pull-up jumpers and was very accurate.

However, this time he was wrong. Li Chen passed the ball and he passed it to Wang Zhizhi.

Uh-huh!Wang Zhizhi easily put the basketball into the basket.

102:94.

There are 65 seconds left on the clock, the score is still eight points, and there is not much time left for the Lakers.

Phil Jackson also knew the Lakers' difficulties now, so he immediately chose a timeout and put on a substitute player.

In fact, Phil Jackson also knew that the eight-point gap was too big, and the Lakers had almost no hope of coming back from defeat because Li Chen was too stable, especially at such a critical moment.

But he knew Kobe's character after spending so many years together, so the deployment of foul tactics was entirely for Kobe.

Li Chen also knew that Phil Jackson might have to resort to foul tactics.

While his thoughts were wandering, Li Chen's lips curved slightly, and he had a perfect plan.

After a while, the timeout ended and the Lakers attacked.

Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc against Li Chen's defense.

At this moment, Li Chen's [Copper Wall and Iron Wall] skill seemed to have failed.

102 to 95, there is still a seven-point gap between the two teams.

60 seconds left.

In the next round, Kidd also knew that Li Chen's free throws were the most accurate, so he had to pass the ball to Li Chen.

The Lakers substitute player immediately fouled Li Chen when he caught the ball.

But at the same time as he fouled, Li Chen also threw the ball in his hand.

With a bang, the basketball hit the backboard hard, and the referee's whistle sounded.

The referee was speechless. He never expected that Li Chen would do this again.

However, the league has introduced a rule that only two free throws are allowed for shooting fouls in the second half.

In fact, this rule was originally a basketball rule established for guys like Li Chen who cheated on three-point free throws.

Li Chen certainly knows this, but his purpose is not to cheat for three-point free throws but...

On the other side, Phil Jackson's eyelids jumped in the Lakers dugout. He immediately understood Li Chen's thoughts.

If he does this every time he fouls, maybe he can actually score a three-pointer. If he really makes a three-pointer, then... the Lakers will be completely disappointed.

Yes, it is really possible for Li Chen to make a shot, because as long as the basketball hits the basket, the ball has a great chance of hitting. After all, [Magic Ball] is too buggy.

At this time, Phil Jackson had an idea. If he used Li Chen's shooting ability, could he...

As soon as he thought of this, he shook his head and denied his idea. Li Chen was a very tricky kid, and it would be too difficult to deceive him.

After a while, Li Chen went to the free throw line and Li Chen made two free throws.

Kobe hit a pull-up jumper before breaking through the three-point line.

The corners of the Knicks fans' mouths twitched, and they were silently calculating in their minds that if Kobe kept hitting three-pointers, it was really possible that the Knicks would lose this game and be dragged to the tiebreaker by the Lakers.

Thinking of this, they panicked, and the sky above Madison Square Park rang with overwhelming boos.

102:98.

There are 50 seconds left in the game.

Then Kobe scored three three-pointers again.

108 to 107, they tied the score in the next attack.

There were just ten seconds left on the clock, just in time to beat the Knicks.

Knicks fans are going crazy at this moment, is this okay?They're all going to be driven crazy by Kobe.

Li Chen was still catching the ball on the spot. His strength was too strong in the past few times, so he held back this time.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Li Chen threw the basketball in his hand again.

Bang!I saw the basketball hit the backboard hard, then hit the basket, and then kept bouncing on it.

Finally, unwillingly, he fell into the net.

Li Chen's 3+1 directly killed the game.
