NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 76 narrowly beat the Spurs (two-in-one)

The Spurs attack.

Parker stabilized the offensive rhythm. After all, the Spurs had a two-point advantage, so they didn't have to worry at all. As long as they played steadily, this victory would be theirs.

But the Clippers, as the lagging side, couldn't wait, so Li Chen could only press forward and force Parker to attack.

But Parker is like a piece of meat, he just doesn't attack.

At the critical moment, Li Chen didn't dare to grab too hard, lest he would take advantage of him.

When the shot clock passed ten seconds, Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili snaked through for a layup, causing Odom to foul during the confrontation, and the basketball bounced twice on the rim before rolling out unwillingly.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the Clippers were raised. If they were really going to be scored 2+1 by Ginobili, then the chances of them wanting to come back were even slimmer.

30 seconds left.

Ginobili steps to the free throw line, swish!Ginobili made two free throws steadily.

After all, Ginobili makes more than 85% of his free throws this season.

105 to 101, the Spurs extended their lead to four points.

Clippers offense.

The Spurs pressed the Clippers full-court to keep the Clippers from attacking time.

After Li Chen received the ball, he started it immediately, and he rushed all the way to the field.

Bowen followed him closely, never leaving him, like a conscientious security guard.

In fact, Li Chen was a little regretful because he never had the chance to get rid of Bowen, who committed five fouls.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly increased his speed. He had committed five fouls. Bo Wen didn't dare to defend unscrupulously.

Immediately afterwards, Ginobili and Malik Rose double-teamed Li Chen.

Li Chen had already entered the three-point line and he didn't want to be fouled. He passed the ball to Odom, and Bowen, who was changing defense, blocked Odom.

Odom faked a breakthrough.

But at this moment, Bowen fell to the ground directly, and then covered his chest in pain.

The referee blew his whistle and Joey Crawford made a gesture for an offensive foul by Odom.

At this time, Odom asked the referee to argue, but Joey Crawford ignored it.

Li Chen walked over, looked at Odom and asked, "What's going on?"

"Farke, that bastard dived." Odom said angrily.

Hearing Odom's words, Li Chen let out a long breath. There is no challenge in the current NBA, so they can only accept it.

Li Chen patted his shoulder and said: "It's okay, don't be affected by this incident.

Odom nodded.

But Li Chen could clearly feel that Odom's mentality was wrong.

This made Li Chen's heart sink. Now it is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Clippers.

At this time, Alvin Gentry called a timeout.

As soon as the Clippers players returned to the rest area, Alvin Gentry had a sullen face. Although he did not reprimand Odom, he was obviously not satisfied with this foul.

Li Chen thought for a while and said, "Coach Alvin, Bowen flopped."

Obviously Li Chen's implication was to ask Alvin Gentry if there was any way to get the referee to change the decision.

Hearing this, Alvin Gentry frowned, then sighed slightly, and said, "There is no way, we can only admit that we are unlucky."

After a while, Alvin Gentry arranged a foul tactic in order to make a last-ditch effort in the last 24 seconds.

After the timeout ended, the Spurs attacked.

When the ball was just passed, the Clippers sent Bowen to the free throw line.

In this game, Bowen had to keep an eye on Li Chen, a physical monster, and he was physically exhausted and missed the first free throw.

After adjusting his mentality on the second free throw, he made the basketball.

106:101.

Clippers offense.

The Spurs pressed hard, Li Chen kept running back and finally got rid of Bo Wen.

After receiving the ball, he ran towards the frontcourt like a bolt of lightning.

Parker and Ginobili double-teamed Li Chen.

At the same time, Corey Maggette and Li Chen made a pick-and-roll screen.

Li Chen shot Ginobili in the face with a three-pointer. Ginobili caused great interference, but he did not dare to foul.

Swish!Hit a three-pointer, and the key ball skill is triggered.

106 to 104, with 17 seconds left.

The Spurs attacked and the Clippers fouled again with 16 seconds left.

The Spurs knew that Bowen was unstable with free throws, so they didn't let him catch the ball.

Ginobili made two free throws steadily.

108:104.

Clippers offense.

Li Chen was double-teamed by Bowen and Parker.

Wang Zhizhi was a little unsure whether to pass it to Li Chen.

At this time, Li Chen said in Chinese while running near the midline: "Brother Da Zhi, pass the high ball."

Bowen and Parker were confused when they heard that Li Chen actually spoke Chinese, which made them wary.

Wang Zhizhi nodded and then lobbed the ball to Li Chen.

At the same time, Bowen and Parker jumped up together, trying to prevent Li Chen from catching the ball, but the ball was passed too high and they didn't even touch the ball.

I saw Li Chen jumping high, holding the basketball firmly in his hands.

Then his leg muscles tensed suddenly, and then he rushed towards the frontcourt like an arrow from the string.

He was like an arrow straight to the basket.

This scene puzzled Barkley and Kenny Smith, and the fans in front of the TV were also puzzled.

"Now the Clippers have to shoot three-pointers to turn defeat into a victory. You commit a foul but shoot two-pointers. What's the point? It's just a waste of time, that's all."

Barkley in the TNT live broadcast room expressed what the fans were thinking.

Kenny Smith said: "Perhaps Chen's idea is to play 2+1?"

This explanation is a bit far-fetched. After all, as long as the Spurs players are not stupid, they will not foul. After all, the score is only two points.

But at that moment, they knew why Li Chen did this.

I saw that Li Chen's breakthrough attracted the targets of most of the Spurs' players, because at this critical moment, the team will let the head star play.

But Li Chen did the opposite. He actually passed the ball to Corey Maggette, who did not perform well today.

Corey Maggette, who was in the open position, was also slightly stunned. Then he calmed down his surprised mood, made a slight adjustment, and directly shot a three-point jumper.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

At the critical moment, Corey Maggette lived up to Li Chen's trust.

108 to 107, the Clippers are only one point away.

Li Chen's bold decision not only surprised Popovich and the players of the Spurs.

Even Alvin Gentry was very surprised.

There are still 10 seconds left in the game time.

As long as the Clippers score in the next round, the game will be dragged into overtime.

At that time, who will win and who will lose will become unknown again.

The Spurs attack.

At this time, Li Chen looked at Ginobili and narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he shouted: "Defend with all your strength, don't let them play the ball."

These words made the Clippers players slightly stunned. After scoring a goal, wouldn't the game be dragged into overtime?

All of them were puzzled and didn't know what Li Chen was doing, but out of trust in Li Chen, they began to defend desperately to prevent Ginobili from receiving the ball.

This caught the Spurs, who were already preparing for overtime, a bit off guard.

In the end, though, the Spurs passed the ball.

However, Li Chen made a decisive foul at this time, and there were 9 seconds left in the clock.

Parker goes to the free throw line.

Spurs dugout.

When Popovich saw the actions of the Clippers, he was also a little surprised, but when the ball appeared in Parker's hands, he suddenly understood why the Clippers did this.

"Kenny, what kind of plane is this for the Clippers?" Barkley looked at Kenny Smith puzzled.

Kenny Smith thought about it and said with some admiration: "This is how smart Li Chen is."

"How do you say that?" Buckley asked curiously.

Kenny Smith explained with a smile: "Because Parker's free throw shooting is not good. This is Parker's shooting data."

Tony Parker averaged 35.3 minutes per game, contributed 14 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds. He shot 38.6% from the field, 42.9% from the three-point range, and only 60.9% from the free throw line.

Seeing this data, Barkley and the fans in front of the TV suddenly realized.

In terms of free throws, it is not much different from O'Neal's 52.7%.

"The free throw shooting percentage is inaccurate. This is a flaw. Now Popovich can only hope that Parker can withstand the pressure and make two free throws." Barkley gloated.

Parker stepped to the free throw line. Although his teammates told him to relax, it didn't matter if he didn't score. It was just a regular season game.

But if he lost the game because of his own personal problems, he would really feel bad about it!
Parker took a deep breath, held the basketball in his hand, stared at the basket for a few seconds, and then shot it.

Boom!The first penalty was missed.

Parker looked annoyed, but with the encouragement of his teammates, he quickly adjusted his mentality, let out a long breath, took the basketball thrown by the referee, and shot again.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

109:107.

At this time, the Spurs requested a timeout and Popovich began to formulate tactics.

In the Clippers rest area, Alvin Gentry praised: "Chen, you did a good job just now."

Now he feels more and more how right he was when he let Li Chen play.Thinking about him now still gives me a sense of pride.

At the same time, the eyes of other teammates were full of admiration. They admired Li Chen for his wit, which made them more convinced of Li Chen. Although he was a rookie, this made them admire him even more.

Li Chen said humbly: "I also made a temporary decision."

"This temporary idea is very good, and I will continue to maintain it in the future." After praising Li Chen again, Alvin Gentry said: "Li Chen will make the last attack."

Li Chen nodded.

He thought for a while, replaced Eli and replaced him with Michael Olowokandi, and then warned: "Your task is to miss the last attack. You and Wang are responsible for grabbing rebounds."

Michael Olowokandi and Wang Zhizhi nodded.

After the timeout, the Clippers took a throw-in.

Now the Clippers have 9 seconds of attack time, so they don't have to worry at all. Even if they fail to score a three-pointer, they can still score two points.

Now they, the Clippers, have a big advantage.

The Spurs' main defensive point was Li Chen, who was quickly double-teamed by Bowen and Ginobili.

At the same time, Odom, who performed very well today, was also focused on man-marking.

Even Corey Maggette, who just made a three-pointer, was guarded.

Although Li Chen is a little tired today, after all, he is needed on both offense and defense, and the Spurs are famous for their defense.

However, Li Chen was tired, and the rest of the Spurs were even more tired.

A few seconds later, after Li Chen kept running back, he finally found a gap to catch the ball.

When he received the ball, he was like a magnet, and the Spurs players couldn't help but approach him.

Without Li Chen calling, Michael Olowokandi and Wang Zhizhi both provided pick-and-roll screens for Li Chen.

Corey Maggette and Odom are also constantly running back, trying to get rid of the Spurs' defense and run out of space to shoot.

Li Chen broke through towards the basket.

Judging from the current situation, Li Chen obviously wanted to seek stability, scored a two-point goal, and then had a showdown with the Spurs in overtime.

Everyone thinks so, but is it true?

Just when Li Chen became the focus, he suddenly passed the ball.

But this pass surprised everyone. It was not passed to Odom, who performed well today, nor to Corey Maggette, who had just made a three-pointer.Instead, it was passed on to Wang Zhizhi, an Eastern man whose presence has never been strong.

At this moment, everyone was confused, and even Popovich and Alvin Gentry were a little at a loss.

Especially Alvin Gentry, now he regrets that he just told Li Chen to have an idea. This idea really gave him a big surprise, no, it should be said to be a shock.

After Wang Zhizhi received the pass from Li Chen, he couldn't help but think of what Li Chen said to him when he was covering the screen just now.

The two people spoke in Chinese at the time, and their words were short, and the Spurs players didn't think much about it.

Wang Zhizhi took a step back and stood behind the three-point line, then stood up.

The arc of the ball is very flat, and it passes through the net accurately like a radar.

109 to 110, the Clippers lead by one point, and the time is only 0.8 seconds left.

If the ball was passed to Corey Maggette, they would still understand. After all, Corey Maggette is also a quasi-All-Star averaging 20 points per game.

But this time Li Chen actually passed the ball to the center forward Wang Zhizhi, which made them unable to understand.

Although the bet was successful, celebrities like Kenny Smith and Barkley could not accept such a huge bet. In their view, this was an immature performance.

But is this really the case? ,No!Of course not. How could Li Chen make such a low-level mistake? Because he was the only one who had been practicing three-pointers and was being coached by Wang Zhizhi.

He is very confident in Wang Zhizhi's three-pointer.

As for why, I don't know why, because even when Wang Zhizhi played, Alvin Gentry used him as a center forward.

Moreover, Wang Zhizhi doesn't like to express himself. He is very obedient and will do whatever the coach asks him to do.

This time, Wang Zhizhi was asked to kill, and Li Chen also made Alvin Gentry understand Wang Zhizhi's meaning again.

The Spurs failed to turn things around in the last 0.8 seconds.

The Clippers narrowly beat the Spurs by one point.

The Spurs' highest scorer in this game was Shiver Duncan, who took 20 shots, 26 points, 6 assists, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 6 of 6 free throws.

Duncan got a double-double and he is still so stable.

The Spurs' scoring situation is very balanced, and other players on the field have scored points. Parker, Ginobili and others are basically in double figures.

The Clippers here.

Odom scored 26 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws.

Corey Maggette scored 20 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws.

Wang Zhizhi scored 16 points, 2 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws.

The three Clippers scored 62 points today, which is a little more than half of the entire team. It can be said that the performance of the three people today was perfect.Especially the last two three-pointers.
