NBA: One S-level skill per game

Chapter 82
After making up his mind, Li Chen broke through to the basket again, making himself a target of public criticism.

When the Mavericks players saw that Li Chen was about to make a layup, LaFrentz and Nowitzki both pinched Li Chen.

Although they knew that this was Li Chen's usual method, they had no choice. In his opinion, Li Chen's offensive danger was often greater than that of other Clippers players.

Because Li Chen will score more than 60% of his breakthrough layups, while the probability of his passing and scoring is less than 50%, or even lower. Compared with the two, they will of course choose the former.

After Li Chen saw that he had reached his intended goal, he decisively passed it on to Odom, a guy who performed well today.

Odom raised the knife and hit the basket steadily.

Odom was once again blocked by the basket of the strongest defensive player in NBA history.

Immediately afterwards, the rebounding competition started under the basket, and the intensity of the scene was staggering.

Wang Zhizhi and Andre Miller both fell to the ground, and the Mavericks also fell to two players.

In the end, LaFrentz of the Mavericks was superior and grabbed the ball.

The shortcomings of the Clippers' inability to show up again.

At this time, Don Nelson called a timeout, and he was ready to arrange foul tactics.

At the same time, in the Clippers dugout, Alvin Gentry was also telling the players not to foul.

After the timeout ended, the Dallas Mavericks went on the offensive.

Nash passes the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki bukkake Odom, whoop!The basketball hits steadily.

113 to 111, the two teams were still three points behind, with 16 seconds left.

Li Chen once again showed his stable free throws.

Swish!Made two free throws.

115:111.

The Mavericks continued to attack.

Nash passes the ball to Nowitzki.

But Nowitzki was double-teamed by Odom and Li Chen as soon as he received the ball, and Nowitzki chose to pass the ball back to Nash.

Nash scored the ball with the help of Lavrentz's pick-and-roll cover.

115 to 113 seconds left.

The Mavericks (Lone Ranger) theoretically still have two offenses to win.

At this moment, Li Chen was thinking thoughtfully, and then the corner of his mouth curled up.

After a while, Li Chen stood on the free throw line again.

The first penalty, oh!Hollow into the net.

116:113.

In the second free throw, Li Chen vigorously smashed the basketball on the backboard, and then he jumped up high to catch the basketball.

After that, he took it up and walked towards the outside line.

This scene directly confused the Mavericks players.

Originally, they were high-spirited and ready to make a comeback, but they never expected that Li Chen suddenly made a mistake.

At this time, Nash was the first to react and hugged Li Chen.

However, Li Chen still threw the ball in his hand, but this time the fairy ball skill was not triggered, but...

The referee's whistle sounded, and the referee made a gesture of three free throws.

The Mavericks players couldn't help looking at Li Chen's position, only to see that his feet were still behind the three-point line.

Swish Swish Swish!Li Chen made all three free throws.

119:113.

They were desperate at this moment, with 7 seconds left on the clock.

They have no chance.

The final game ended 119-116.

Because the Clippers defeated the Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks, which reached No. 1 in the regular season, were also pulled down from the No. [-] position because of the Clippers.

After a while, when shaking hands to pay tribute, Nowitzki said sincerely: "Chen, you performed really well today."

Li Chen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Dirk, you too."

Then he said mysteriously, "Dirk, let me tell you a secret."

"What?" Dirk Nowitzki asked subconsciously.

"Hey! Actually, I'm a fan of Ni, would you like to give me an autograph?"

Nowitzki was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled wryly, obviously he didn't believe Li Chen's words.

At this time, Don Nelson, the coach of the Dallas Mavericks, came to Li Chen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You guys did a good job, do you have any plans to change teams?"

Li Chen looked at all the legendary coaches known as mad scientists in surprise.

Immediately after he came back to his senses, he apologized and said, "Sorry, Coach Nelson, I'm a rookie."

Don Nelson waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."

Li Chen was speechless, thinking, I have a wrong boss, and I went to Dallas to be the second boss, how stupid am I to do such a stupid thing?
Besides, even if he wanted to leave the Clippers, wouldn't he be able to hang out with the little blacksmith next door?
While his thoughts were drifting, Li Chen said tactfully again: "Sorry, Coach Nelson, I will always remember that Coach Alvin Gentry gave me a chance to play when I was at my worst."

Hearing this, Don Nelson nodded, "You are a player with high moral standards."

Then he added: "However, we will not lose next time."

"We won't give up next time either." Li Chen said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Haha! I hope the next time we meet is not next season."

"Of course, I believe we will meet soon." Li Chen said firmly.

In this game, Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks (Lone Ranger) played 40 minutes, 16 of 7 shots, 29 points, 4 assists, 11 rebounds, 4 steals, 6 of 4 three-pointers, and 11 of 11 free throws.

Nash, played 39 minutes, 21 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws.

Nashnowitzki got a double-double.

Van Exel, who performed brilliantly in the first half, scored two points after being defended by Li Chen. He played 31 minutes and scored 19 points.

For the Clippers, Corey Maggette played 35 minutes, made 11 of 7 shots, 23 points, 1 assist, 11 rebounds, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 9 of 7 free throws.Nice double-double.

Odom played 40 minutes, 18 of 7 shots, 18 points, 6 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 of 3 three-pointers.

王治郅出场30分钟，16投中9，24分，罚球6中5三分球1中1。

It can be regarded as eye medicine for the old club.

Li Chen played 47 minutes, 21 of 11 shots, 35 points, 20 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 12 of 12 free throws.

Li Chen got a triple-double and deserved the title of best player in the game.

After the game, the Clippers achieved a good result of 43 wins and 25 losses.

You must know that in the original timeline, the Clippers' final record in the 2002-2003 season was 27 wins and 55 losses, ranking second to last in the Western Conference.

There is a huge difference between the two, but no one will know this, not even Li Chen himself.

Because people often care about who is the first, who will pay attention to the second?What's more, it was second to last, so Li Chen only heard that the Clippers were bad, but he didn't know exactly how bad it was.

An hour later, after Li Chen returned from the post-match press conference, he took a shower, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by the doorbell. When he opened the door, a tall white man stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Li Chen."

Li Chen was also a little surprised. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, held it together and said, "Hello Dirk, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Dirk Nowitzki was a little embarrassed, and it took me a while to get straight to the point: "Chen, after I saw your game against the Spurs that day, I knew that your fadeaway jumper was what I wanted. Can you teach me the principle of movement?"

Li Chen opened his mouth wide. Now he was a little embarrassed, feeling like he was being caught for stealing other people's copyrights and patents.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't speak, Dirk Nowitzki asked a little nervously, "Can't you?"

Li Chen came to his senses and said quickly: "Yes, of course."
