NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 32 Undercover Player
The Pacers did not call a timeout because the Clippers scored four straight points.

The game continued, and the way the Clippers restrained Reggie Miller was to double-team.

You can pass the ball, but you can’t shoot three-pointers. Even if other Pacers players make shots, it doesn’t matter. Alvin Gentry likes Li Chen’s stability today.

So the Clippers are not afraid of two-pointers, they are afraid of three-pointers like Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller, who was double-teamed, did not force himself to attack. He decisively passed the ball to his teammates.

As time passed, the game in the second quarter became more and more stalemate, the score fluctuated up and down, the score fluctuated between two points and four points.

When the first half ended, the Pacers temporarily led by one point 55 to 54.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

"I have to say that the intensity of this game is really exciting. The game must be so intense and interesting to watch." Barkley commented.

Kenny Smith nodded, and then changed the topic: "Let's take a look at the scores of the stars of both teams in this game."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't praise that Eastern kid. He's just a rookie, the kind that no one cares about. I don't know what's going on in the league, but no one cares about such a genius?" Barkley complained.

Kenny Smith felt a little helpless when he heard this, and immediately said: "You may not know something, this is because the Alliance saw that Mr. Baylor's life was not going well, so he left Li Chen to his old man."

Hearing this name, Barkley felt a little embarrassed.

While thinking about it, Barkley said firmly: "I bet that Mr. Baylor must be the best manager this year. If the Clippers can reach the playoffs this year, Mr. Baylor may be called a legend, not necessarily!"

"Haha! Let's congratulate Mr. Baylor first." Kenny Smith also echoed.

To be honest, all players who play in the NBA feel sympathy for Baylor, an NBA star.

O'Neal of the Pacers made 23 of 9 shots, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, and 3 fouls. These three fouls were all caused by Li Chen of the Clippers.

"It is worth mentioning that Artest, who is mainly defending Li Chen in this game, has already committed four fouls. If this bad boy does not restrain his actions, he will probably be kicked off by Li Chen in the third quarter." Smith. said with a smile.

Barkley nodded, and then added: "Without Artest's close defense, Li Chen's performance today would have been better."

"Let's take a look at this game again, Clippers Li Chen's data."

Li Chen of the Clippers made 20 of 10 shots in this game, with a shooting percentage of 50%, 24 points (4 free throws), 7 assists, 1 steal, and 4 rebounds.

"Li Chen's performance in the NBA is remarkable. So far, his scoring average is 26.5 points, which is three points higher than that of Iverson in the 97-98 season. Of course, this data cannot be counted. After all, Li Chen Chen has not played 10 games so far." Kenny Smith commented pertinently.

Barkley nodded, and then changed the topic: "Kenny, do you think Chen can make Artest let this bad boy six offenders in the second half?"

Kenny Smith smelled Barkley's eagerness to try, he thought for a while, and said, "This...it's hard to say."

Then he added: "However, if Li Chen talks rubbish in the second half and angers Artest...then he will definitely leave the field with six fouls."

Barkley was a little disappointed to see Kenny Smith not giving himself a chance to make a bet.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two teams seemed to be trapped in a strange circle, working together and getting into rhythm.

Even Li Chen is the same, the efficiency is very low.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers led by five points, 70-65.

In this game, apart from taking the lead in the first quarter, the Clippers were suppressed the rest of the time.

It is worth mentioning that Artest committed five fouls and was only one step away from leaving the field, but Li Chen did not feel Artest's fear, and he still defended Li Chen fiercely.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers felt warmer and once overtook the score.

But the key man, Reggie Miller, scored two consecutive strong three-pointers, suppressing the arrogance of the Clippers.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Artest's defense against Li Chen was greatly compromised due to excessive physical exertion.

So the Pacers coach took Artest off the court and rested for 2 minutes.

At the same time, Alvin Gentry benched Elton Brand and replaced Odom.

At this time, Li Chen watched the score on the big screen, 90 to 92, the Clippers temporarily took the lead.

He thought about it and felt that he had a good touch at this time, so he decided to make a wasteful shot, forcing Artest to leave the game again, and then let this kid leave the game with six fouls to avoid future troubles.

When he dribbles past the midline, it's time to shoot.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he was not sure. When he dribbled the ball again and came to the front court logo, he shook his hands and threw the basketball.

Because Li Chen never shot a three-pointer in a game, the Pacers players forgot that Li Chen was also an excellent three-point shooter.

I saw the basketball being thrown high, drawing a beautiful arc towards it, and the sunset fell through the net.

90 to 95, the Clippers lead by 5 points.

But Pacers coach Thomas Ming has no intention of replacing Artest.

As soon as Li Chen finished shooting a three-pointer, Reggie Miller of the Pacers responded by scoring a 3 plus 1.

94 to 95 The Pacers suddenly reduced the score to one point.

Seeing this scene, Alvin Gentry had a toothache. This Odom is such a pig teammate!

At the same time, Odom is also wronged!Originally he wanted to behave well, who knew it would happen?

Li Chen was a little helpless, this guy was an undercover player.

At the same time, Alvin Gentry was so angry that he directly replaced Odom and replaced him with Wang Zhizhi.

Andre Miller panted heavily, watching Li Chen stretch out his hand, feeling a little emotional in his heart, it's good to be young, this physical strength...then gave the ball to Li Chen.

As soon as Li Chen dribbled the ball past the frontcourt, Reggie Miller came up.

Although Reggie Miller didn't speak as much as Garnett in front of reporters, he didn't want to lose either.

Li Chen let out a long breath, his center of gravity sank slightly, and then he suddenly accelerated.

Reggie Miller quickly followed Li Chen with small steps.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly stopped suddenly. While the sneakers under his feet made a screeching sound, Li Chen straightened his body suddenly and made an action as if he was shooting.

Reggie Miller's body suddenly tensed up, and after hesitating for a moment, he did not choose to jump to block the shot.

When Reggie Miller hesitated for a moment, Li Chen suddenly turned around and passed Reggie Miller.

At the same time, the Pacers players who saw Li Chen breaking in double-teamed.

Li Chen was not afraid, and jumped high to meet the two of them.

At the same time, O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller jumped up together, blocking Li Chen's shooting space.

Li Chen didn't attack by force, and passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi with a flick of his wrist.

Li Chen passed the ball very comfortably, and Wang Zhizhi made a mid-range jumper.

94 to 97, the Clippers once again took a three-point lead.
