NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 171 Sorry, I didn't let Lin Chuan have enough fun
"It's not just the MVP trophy! We won't just win one championship!"

Durant shouted and raised the MVP trophy again.

At the away Toyota Center, Durant happily walked off the court with the trophy amid the boos of Rockets fans.

When he walked in front of Lin Chuan, he deliberately paused and waved in front of him.

"You have the Olympic gold medal, and I have the MVP trophy."

Lin Chuan was speechless.

"Just wait, I'll make one in the next two years to play with."

"Okay, let's lead the team to take down the Rockets first."

Lin Chuan stood up and went on stage, moving his joints.

Take down the Rockets?

Isn't this a piece of cake?
Looking at teammates on the field.

Already starting with Westbrook, Durant, Sefolosha and Ibaka.

It has become Collison, Reggie Jackson, Sefolosha and Ibaka today.

Lin Chuan was speechless.

The intensity of the playoffs is not this high.

Seeing the referee walking into the center circle with the basketball, Lin Chuan immediately calmed down.

He started to get into the game.

On the other side of the ocean.

This game is also being broadcast on TV in the homes of thousands of fans.

The same is true for Zhou Qi, Lin Chuan's die-hard fan.

Seeing Lin Chuan jump to the ball again and start attacking.

He was a little excited.

Now, Lin Chuan is the only core member left in the team.

He will definitely go all out in this game.

"It's been a while since I've seen Lin Chuan use all his strength. I wonder if Team Rocket can give me some strength so that I can have something exciting to watch."

Zhou Qi sat in front of the TV, watching it more seriously than anyone else.

Lin Chuan held the ball in the high position and saw that the Rockets chose to hide Harden just like in the previous game.

He decided to take the initiative this time.

Since I can't switch defense, I'll go and switch myself.

Lin Chuan dribbled the ball and walked towards Sefolosha in the corner.

Harden was still in a daze for a second.

After all, it’s not impossible for a center to dribble towards the corner, but it is indeed rare.

But suddenly, when he thought of the situation in the first game, Harden's eyes widened, and he thought of Lin Chuan's intention.

"That's not the case! Lin Chuan!"

Lin Chuan chuckled and quickened his movements.

"Retreat quickly! Send someone else to go up!"

On the sidelines, McHale became a little anxious and stood up and yelled at Harden.

Harden immediately stepped back upon hearing this.

It is better to have some defensive gaps than let Harden be beaten by Lin Chuan alone.

Otherwise, they would have consumed too much energy and would have been completely unable to play on the offensive end!

But they forgot.

In the bottom corner, there is not only Lin Chuan, but also Sefolosha.

Parsons, who came to switch defense, hasn't run over yet.

Lin Chuan has already arrived in front of Sefolosha.

One hand to another.

Pass the ball to the shooting guard in front of him.

And it is equivalent to creating a natural barrier.

Sefolosha made an easy shot and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

The Thunder took the lead.

The Rockets attack.

Harden is limited by the deterrent power of the two shot-blocking kings in the interior.

Even if he creates space, he dare not break into the inside.

If you really rush in, you might get blocked.

He had to make a quick stop and shoot a half-court shot.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack again, and Lin Chuan used the same trick again.

Harden was in great pain. This time he didn't have time to retreat and could only be switched in front of Lin Chuan again.

"I got hit from behind in front of my home fans."

“It feels bad.”

Lin Chuan said, turning around to hold Harden.

"Let's talk about it after we score!"

At home, Harden also has more confidence.

"How dare you talk back?!"

Lin Chuan was a little shocked. Is this still Harden's style? He still didn't believe he could score a goal with his back to the ball.

Lin Chuan suddenly threw the ball with great force, hitting Harden hard.

"Oh!"

The powerful impact hit Harden's chest and almost knocked out the undigested food he had eaten at noon.

Harden was also knocked back a big step by this blow.

Lin Chuan walked back and did it again!
"Shh!"

This time, Harden learned his lesson and chose to dodge sideways the moment Lin Chuan bumped into him.

Remove the stool?!

There was no object to resist the huge impact force of Lin Chuan, and he almost fell over, but his right foot still stepped on the ground at the last moment, preventing his body from falling.

Then Lin Chuan turned around quickly and made a hook shot before Harden could grab the ball.

"Shh!"

Basketball hits the board into the net.

"A lot of cleverness."

Lin Chuan, who almost fell, looked at Harden, patted his beard and ran to the frontcourt.

This attack made him feel a little scared.

Fortunately, I stepped on the brakes at the last moment.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will fall down.

Lin Chuan almost suffered a loss and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

If I really fall down, it would be embarrassing.

Then on the next ball.

Lin Chuan is ready to display his eighteen martial arts.

Caught the ball at the top of the arc again.

Lin Chuan looked at Asik in front of him.

After a moment, he chose to pull up and shoot!

Before the defense arrived, the basketball had already slipped out of the hand!

"Shh!"

Three points scored!

The home fans saw the Thunder score frequently.

The home team could only roam around and frequently missed shots, falling behind.

It made them feel dissatisfied.

When Harden received the ball, there were already some faint boos coming from the audience.

"These fans are so hard to please."

Harden thought to himself.

In this case, let's use a unique skill...

Harden dribbled continuously, and then made another double step-back three-pointer in front of Lamb.

It can also be regarded as a response to Lin Chuan's previous move.

The fans at the scene immediately became agitated again.

Harden also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this goal only briefly caught up with the score.

Subsequently.

Lin Chuan increased the proportion of his attack.

In the first quarter, Lin Chuan combined inside and outside.

Scored 17 points in a single quarter.

In the final moments, he scored 7 points in a row.

One person scored a small climax of 7:0.

The Rockets' momentum, which was about to catch up, was interrupted again, and the score was widened to 8 points.

Harden looked at the scoreboard helplessly.

They have a full team.

The Thunder, who had injured two key players, were still struggling.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan did not plan to play the whole game.

The first half of the second quarter.

The Thunder chose to use substitutes, and the Rockets' main players traveled at different times, relying on their superior strength.

With 6 minutes left, the Rockets reversed the score to 35:41.

Leading by 6 points.

The fans at the scene also began to cheer.

But then, Lin Chuan's reappearance made them calm down a lot.

In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Chuan scored 16 points again with two three-pointers, three two-pointers and four free throws. At the end of the half, he overtook the opponent by 10 points again.

When about to return to the locker room, Harden turned around and looked at Lin Chuan's back in the distance.

An absurd thought suddenly arose in my mind.

They played like this, their level was not good enough, they should feel sorry for not letting Lin Chuan enjoy the game.
