NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 70 Yao Ming's Treat
After returning from the timeout in the second quarter, the Rockets replaced Yao Ming and Cuttino Mobley.

The role of Alvin Gentry's double centers is to deal with Yao Ming.

The Rockets attack.

Francis went around for a while but couldn't find a good opportunity. He could only lob the ball to Yao Ming inside.

Sure enough, the Clippers' defense allowed the Rockets to only play against Yao Ming, and then Michael Olowokandi and Wang Zhizhi had an effect at this time.

Under a double attack between the two, Yao Ming missed a small hook shot and Michael Olowokandi got a backcourt rebound.

Michael Olowokandi quickly passed the ball to Li Chen after receiving the rebound.

After receiving the pass, Li Chen rushed towards the front court like an arrow.

At the same time, Carlino Bremer, who had just entered the field and was full of energy, followed closely behind without losing the wind, while other players also moved quickly.

Li Chen stepped past Carrillo Bremer in Europe and scored.

27 to 35 The Clippers continued to expand their lead.

Although the Rockets failed their first attack after returning from a timeout, they gradually found their own offensive rhythm in the following games.

After halftime, we were 42 points behind 53-11.

Then began the third quarter, Andre - Miller was replaced again.

In the 5th minute, the Rockets' Cutino Mobley broke out and narrowed the score to less than 5 points.

But in the end, under the leadership of Li Chen, the Clippers withstood the pressure of the Rockets' bombardment, kept their lead, and entered the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides did not make substitutions.

With the help of Yao Ming's pick-and-roll cover, Francis broke through the basket and caused Michael Olowokandi to foul.

Francis, made two free throws.

The score was 67 to 70, and the Rockets were temporarily three points behind.

Li Chen made a breakthrough with the ball and made a wonderful pass to Andre Miller who supported him from the outside. He hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

67:73.

Francis once again used Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to cover for a layup, but was blocked by Li Chen, and the basketball flew out of the baseline.

Rockets possession.

After a while, Taylor passed the ball to Francis.

Then Francis faked a pass to Cuttino Mobley, and his jump shot was interfered by Li Chen.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and hit Wang Zhizhi hard, causing him to foul.

Yao Ming made one of two free throws.

68:73.

Li Chen advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Michael Olowokandi came to pick and roll to cover.

Li Chen's feet suddenly accelerated, but the Rockets were already familiar with the Clippers' routine, and the two immediately double-teamed Li Chen.

Li Chen passed the ball to Odom.

Then Odom hit a jump shot.

Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming jumped up at the same time under the basket, but neither of them got the ball, and then they jumped up again.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Glenn Rice, but the basketball was intercepted by Li Chen, who had quick hands and quick eyes.

Then the Clippers launched a fast break, Li Chen and Corey Maggette made a two-on-one, and Corey Maggette scored the basketball.

68:75.

Rockets rest area.

Tang Shuai frowned. This Li Chen was really too active. He always interrupted the Rockets' offensive rhythm.

He showed extraordinary control ability on the basketball court, which even Tang Shuai couldn't help but admire.

This kid is not only a good player, but also a master tactician.

He can accurately judge the situation of the game and make quick decisions to deal with it.

His powerful vision can quickly find the best offensive opportunities.

Every pass he passes can be accurately delivered to the hands of his teammates. He is like a spider web, sticking the Clippers players together, making the entire team's cooperation more tacit.

And this Clippers team is very convinced of this Eastern kid. There is no doubt that this kid is a natural core leader.His outstanding performance is undoubtedly the most important part of the Clippers' success this season.

Thinking of this, Tang Shuai became greedy again.

While his thoughts were diverging, Tang Shuai focused on how to suppress Li Chen, the central brain of the Clippers.

He knew that this Clippers team was going to strangle Li Chen to death and the entire Clippers team was in disarray.

But a very important problem has arisen, because the Rockets simply do not have a superstar who combines offense and defense like Kobe of the Lakers.

Without the best defensive player in the NBA, it would be too difficult to suppress Li Chen. A three-man attack is possible, but this is obviously not possible.

Because even if Li Chen is strangled to death, the Rockets players will still lose points in two-on-four.

At this moment, Tang Shuai was stunned to realize that he had nothing to do with this Oriental boy.

At the same time, in the domestic live broadcast room.

Zhang Weiping also praised: "Xiaochen's ability is simply amazing. His control on the court is perfect. With him, I can foresee that we can even compete with the American team in the Olympics."

Sun Zhengping was a little helpless, he also hoped that his country's basketball would have a bright future, but if you play it without thinking, it's not good.

When the fourth quarter ended, the Rockets lost the game 100-113.

Steve Francis of the Rockets scored 25 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. He made 8 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws.

(Old Cat) Cuttino Mobley had 23 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 3 of 8 three-pointers.

Yao Ming had 18 points, 2 assists, 13 rebounds, 1 steal, 5 blocks, and 2 of 1 free throws.

The Clippers here.

Corey Maggette had 22 points, 1 assist, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws.

Andre Miller had 20 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 5 of 2 free throws.

Odom had 17 points, 3 assists, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 2 of 2 free throws.

Wang Zhizhi had 12 points, 3 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, and 2 of 2 free throws.

Li Chen scored 30 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 steals, 5 blocks, 4 of 3 three-pointers and 10 of 9 free throws.

This is Li Chen's first triple-double.

It was no surprise that he won the best player of the game again, and won the [King of Buckles].

After attending the post-match press conference, Yao Ming called and strongly asked Li Chen and Wang Zhizhi to go out and sit down.

After a while, the two of them, led by Yao Ming, went to a restaurant and sat down.

"Sorry, all the Chinese restaurants here are closed." Yao Ming apologized.

"It's okay, Li Chen can eat whatever he has, haha!" Wang Zhizhi joked with a smile.

Li Chen also smiled and nodded: "Brother Da Zhi, you are right, I can eat whatever I have."

At this moment, Li Chen's phone rang suddenly, and Li Chen was a little surprised when he saw the caller ID.

"Who is calling so late?" Yao Ming asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be? His little girlfriend is being raped." Wang Zhizhi teased again.

Li Chen rolled his eyes, "What girlfriend, it's a domestic call."

The two people obviously didn't believe it. Li Chen was a little helpless. He handed the phone to the two of them and said helplessly: "Look."

The two probed and saw that it was indeed a phone number starting with 13....

"My home phone number, I come whenever I go, and I can order a double steak." After Li Chen explained, he looked like he wanted to eat poor Yao Ming.

This made Yao Ming and the two of them laugh.
