Chapter 224 The Fifth Crown

In this game, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers had 45 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds.

Kobe scored 45 points in vain.To be honest, Kobe was unconvinced in this game. If Li Chen didn't score the three-pointer in the backcourt, the Lakers would definitely win.

However, things often don’t happen.

Yao Ming had 20 points and 10 rebounds.

For the Knicks, Wang Zhizhi had 15 points and 6 rebounds.

Li Chen had 45 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. However, Li Chen made more free throws.

In the court, Kobe looked at the score and was silent for a long time. It took him a long time to say with difficulty: "Congratulations."

Li Chen bared his teeth and smiled, "Go on, I just love to hear you Kobe talk."

Kobe's face darkened, this bastard is so abominable!Seeing his gloating look made him feel sick, so he turned around and left. He didn't want to see Li Chen's proud face for a second.

"Junior, you are not young now!"

After hearing Li Chen's words, Kobe turned around suddenly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Li Chen, you bastard, one day, one day..."

Kobe was so angry that he didn't know how to threaten Li Chen.

Li Chen waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, don't stop praising me."

Kobe "..."

After the Knicks won the championship again, on this joyous day, Li Chen gave them a basin of cold water.

When Li Chen gave his acceptance speech after winning the FMVP again, Li Chen announced: "Dear New York Knicks fans."

After hearing Li Chen's words, the fans became quiet.

At this time, he continued with some reluctance: "I will leave the Knicks next season."

Hearing Li Chen's words, the fans stood up in unison, followed by anger and even insults.

In response to these insults, Li Chen still smiled lightly without any sign of anger.

The fans gradually calmed down when they saw Li Chen like this.

At this time, Li Chen continued: "First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Dolan for bringing me to New York City so that I can meet every enthusiastic fan here."

The fans continued to listen in silence.

"Without your shouts in every game, come on, the Knicks and I wouldn't be where we are today..."

After Li Chen's loud output, Dolan, who originally wanted to see Li Chen's joke, was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the most difficult New York fans would be persuaded by Li Chen, and finally gave Li Chen warm applause.

Even they all roared, "You will always be our King of New York."

"Finally, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you fans.

Thank you for your support and love for the Knicks, and thank you for your continued company.

I hope that each of us can continue to maintain this love and continue to cheer, shout and fight for the Knicks.

Everyone, although my departure may weaken the Knicks, they will not let you down. "

With that said, Li Chen bowed deeply to show respect for the fans.

A tsunami-like sound echoed throughout Madison Square Park.

In subsequent games, whenever Li Chen came to Madison Square Garden to play, Knicks fans would give him warm applause.

Whenever Li Chen dunks, they will cheer and cheer.This is New York fans with personality. As long as they identify a person, they will spare no effort to cheer for him.

On the other side, David Stern was also surprised and murmured in his heart that Li Chen's words were so contagious. If this guy was not an Oriental, he would probably become the mayor of New York if he was fooled like this.

After the championship parade, of course the Knicks players are going to the nightclub to party.

During this period, Odom came to Li Chen, hugged his neck and said: "Chen, what you said in Madison Square Park moved me. How did you do it? Could it be that you Aren’t you a natural actor?”

Li Chen rolled his eyes at Odom and said angrily: "Act? Give me a try."

Odom was stunned. He was a little drunk and didn't understand what Li Chen meant. "No, I don't have acting skills like you."

The corner of Jason Kidd's mouth twitched, Odom's business is really hard to explain in words!
Li Chen was too lazy to explain to Odom, a loser. He looked at Kidd and said, "Jason, the Knicks will be counting on you from now on."

Kidd was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "I can't do that."

He could see that none of the Knicks players except Li Chen could reach the All-Star level. It would be difficult for such a team to enter the playoffs after Li Chen left.

Li Chen was very thoughtful and immediately guessed what Kidd was thinking, "Jason, don't underestimate your teammates. I personally selected those players."

They all have great potential and work very hard.

Kidd didn't take it seriously at first, after all, their draft position was too low, but when he saw the determined look on Li Chen's face, he also took it seriously.

Since Li Chen is second only to Jordan in the NBA and will definitely surpass Jordan in the future, how could he not face it if he is so sure?
Thinking of this, Kidd nodded and said: "I will try my best."

On June 6, the 27 NBA draft kicked off at the Madison Square Park Theater in New York.

1: Derrick Rose.

2: Michael Beasley.

3: Mayo.

4: Russell Westbrook.

5: Kevin Love.

6: Danilo Gallinari.

7: Eric Gordon.

8: Joe Alexander.

9: Augustine.

10: Brook Lopez.

Li Chen did not find gold in this draft because he will leave the Knicks next season. Well, in fact, the real reason is that the players with good performance in this draft were picked higher and he did not miss the opportunity.

Later, Li Chen returned to China to participate in the next national team training camp.

As soon as Li Chen got off the plane and turned on his phone, he received a call from Kobe Bryant.

To be honest, Li Chen was a little surprised.

"I look forward to your performance in the Olympics." Kobe said firmly.

Li Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said without giving in: "Remember, don't let Junior watch the game. If he sees you losing the game, he will become a fan of mine."

Kobe was panicking. This was also the thing he cared about most, but he felt relieved when he thought of the powerful American team.

So he snorted coldly and said, "We'll see."

Li Chen was a little surprised when he saw Yunus, the head coach of the national team, just as he arrived at the entrance of the training camp.

"Chen, you have to help me this time!" Yunus said immediately.

After a while, Li Chen found out why Yunus picked him up. It turned out that the National Basketball Association gave Yunas a task to defend the 2008 Olympic Games championship.

Of course there are many rewards, but he knows that if he wants to defend the championship, he has to look to Li Chen.So I just did that scene.

Li Chen was a little speechless. He found that there was really a big dyeing vat in the country, and this Yunus had learned how to bribe people.

Li Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Coach, you are too skilled. I will do my best for the honor of the country."

Yunus was stunned for a moment, then gave Li Chen a thumbs up and said, "Chen, you are a sportsman with good sportsmanship." Li Chen didn't say anything else, just smiled.

On August 8, the first game of the national men's basketball team was played against the American team at Wukesong Stadium.

With the growth of the 03 Platinum Generation and the addition of Kobe Bryant, who is second only to Li Chen in the NBA, this Dream Team is invincible.

The starting lineup sent by the national team is: Li Chen, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Zhizhi.

The starting lineup of the US team is: Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard.

Their head coach is coach K.

Li Chen's random S-level skill in this game is [Assistant Defense Expert].

At the same time, the skill he is equipped with is [Assist Master], which is a must-have.

[Dry Jumper], [Iron Wall], [Fairy Ball], and finally Li Chen chose [Gorgeous], a skill he had just upgraded to S level.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Li Chen and Yao Ming used a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Li Chen broke through the basket and avoided Howard's block to score the ball.

The national team leads 2-0.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe hit the ground and passed Howard under the basket, and the latter met Yao Ming with a powerful dunk to tie the score.

Then the national team launched a counterattack. Li Chen faced Howard's defense and made a three-pointer, and his basketball heart went into the net.

5:2.

Howard was very unhappy after being shown off twice by Li Chen.

James of the American team deceived Yao Ming and then passed the ball to Howard.

At this time, Li Chen defended Howard. The latter's eyes lit up when he saw Li Chen. He had just been used as a background by Li Chen. He must return one.

So, he held the ball with his back, and then made a small hook shot.

But the basketball hit the basket and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.

Howard "¥&@#@#&"

Li Chen broke through and passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who faced James and stepped back for a three-pointer.

Uh-huh!The basketball hits again.

8:2.

The national team scored three consecutive goals in the opening game, which cheered up the spirits of the domestic fans at the scene. The cheers were louder than the waves, like a tsunami.

Next, the American team made a mistake, and the national team quickly launched a quick counterattack, two on two in the frontcourt. Yi Jianlian broke through and was interfered by Kidd.

Li Chen dunked with both hands under the basket, igniting the passion of the fans in the audience.

Seeing his former little brother being so cool made Kobe feel very uncomfortable.

So he single-handedly broke through the basket, but what was waiting for him was a volleyball block from his teammate Yao Ming, which directly pushed the atmosphere of the audience to a climax.

Next, the national team played smoothly and smoothly, but the Dream Eight team, which was full of superstars, also frequently hit three-pointers.

It is worth mentioning that during the rotation at the end of the first quarter, Chen Jianghua ushered in the highlight moment of his life under Kobe's strict defense. After a series of skillful dribbling, he broke through and accelerated past Kobe for a layup. This footage It has also become a classic moment that fans will watch again and again in the future.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen praised Chen Jianghua and raised it above his head to celebrate.

Seeing this scene, domestic fans were in an uproar. They were shocked by Li Chen's strength. How strong is it to lift a person above his head?
Kobe got angry when he saw Li Chen's arrogant look. He was sure that this bastard must be laughing at him. Although he didn't look at him, he and Li Chen had known each other for so many years. He was as good as Kobe. Clearly.

As James missed the midfield shot, the first quarter ended, with the national team leading the United States by two points 22-20.

After a short break, the two sides started the second quarter.

At the beginning of the game, Li Chen stole Chris Paul, and then passed it to Zhu Fangyu in the bottom corner, who hit a three-pointer with his hand.

25:20.

But in the next round, the American team responded quickly, and Wade broke through the inside basket and dunked successfully.

25:22.

When the national team attacked, Sun Yue's shot was blocked by James, who passed the ball directly to Wade.

Wade succeeded with another dunk.

25:24.

Li Chen is a person who refuses to admit defeat, and he breaks through to the frontcourt in one line.

He first made a fancy big turn to break through James' defense, and then he continuously pulled the lever under the basket and caused Wade's foul, making it a beautiful 2+1.Li Chen's waist can be called an iron waist!
Oh well, he also scored a free throw.

28:24.

The next time the American team had a chance to play more, James passed the ball to Howard under the basket, and the latter followed up with a dunk to help the American team score two more points.

28:26.

Turning around, Li Chen showed off his power again and hit an unreasonable three-pointer into the net.

31 to 26, the US team is still five points behind the national team.

But then, Chris Paul stole two consecutive steals, ruining the national team's lead.

James and Wade lived up to the expectations of good brother Chris Paul. They each hit a three-pointer to lead the score.

31:32.

Seeing this scene, Yunus immediately chose to replace Yao Ming.

Yao Ming faced the defense as soon as he came on the court and hit a hook shot under the basket to help the national team take the lead.

Then Li Chen stole the little Paul, and he showed his carefulness to the fullest.

He dribbled through the frontcourt, suddenly picked up speed, broke through Paul, and made a European layup. At this time, Bosh, James, and Wade all surrounded Li Chen.

Li Chen didn't force the ball and passed the ball to Sun Yue outside the three-point line.

With a 20% shooting percentage bonus, Sun Yue hit a three-pointer again.

36:32.

The national team once again expanded its lead.

Coach K was helpless when he saw that the substitute players could not withstand the substitute team led by Li Chen.

He already had a high opinion of Li Chen, but as he continued to fight with him, he found that this man was as unfathomable as a bottomless pit.

Coach K put aside his complicated emotions and replaced Kobe and other main players on the field again.

In the following games, the American team played more and more smoothly, relying on their super personal ability.

In the second half of the second quarter, the point difference gradually widened. First, Bosh got the rebound and dunked, and then Kobe counterattacked and dunked Sun Yue in the middle.

Then James was passed back to Kobe, and Kobe dunked again under the basket, directly tying the national team.

National team coach Yunus immediately called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Li Chen made a pull-up jumper from the corner and hit a three-pointer against Kobe's defense, helping the national team stop the bleeding in time.

But the good times did not last long, and the American team relied on its super personal ability and smooth coordination to beat the national team 8-0, instantly widening the point difference to 12 points.

This point difference remained until the national team made the last attack with ten seconds left in the first half.

Li Chen knew that this last attack must be successful. Only when the score is in single digits can his teammates have hope and determination to defeat the powerful Dream 8 team.

Thinking of this, Yunus immediately called a timeout, as if he had a heart-to-heart connection with Li Chen.

As a well-known head coach, he naturally understands the criticality of this goal.
