Chapter 016: The Final "Answer"

81:83, with the efforts of all the tigers, the Lakers narrowed the gap to only two points at the end of the third quarter, and Li Chen began to see the hope of victory on his side. On the big screen, the statistics of the four people are particularly eye-catching.

Iverson: 33 points, 4 assists, 4 steals---- Anthony: 25 points, 2 assists, 6 rebounds

Kobe Bryant: 34 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds------ Li Chen: 19 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds

After three quarters, what was supposed to be a five-on-five game turned into a 2v2 two-player match. Statistically, the two sides are almost the same, with the Nuggets scoring slightly more on their side, while the Lakers duo are focusing more on assisting their teammates, and the showdown is about to start in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers served first, because Bynum gradually showed his interior talent this season, and the Lakers' opening jump shot was repeatedly dominant, which also led to the Lakers always dominating the serve in the fourth quarter.

At this time, both sides are basically substitute battles, Odom integrates the team's offense, and Bynum Odom Ariza's combination is a semi-bench lineup, but they are still very dominant in interior strength. Ariza broke through with the ball in a row, and the rebounding guarantee of Odom and Bynum's twin towers made him even more unscrupulous, and the Lakers quickly put the score up by two points.

The whole court was pressed and finally overtook the score in the fourth quarter, and the strength of the substitute made Li Chen and others cheer loudly on the bench.

But then JR Smith's nerve knife poured cold water on the Lakers' heads, and two consecutive three-pointers made the bench's efforts come to naught, and the convulsive JR jumped and shot a meter away from the three-point line, which really hit the confidence of the defenders.

When the two teams replaced all the main players, the Lakers were still two points behind.

Playing steadily, Lao Yu handed the ball to Gasol, the huge advantage in the Lakers' restricted area will always bring great trouble to other teams, and the existence of Li Chen and Kobe Bryant, two stable three-point shooters, makes the Lakers' interior advantage and outside attack effectively connected.

With this style of play, the Lakers have won two consecutive games by a big score.

Gasol didn't choose to pass the ball this time, and after tricking Martin with his own footsteps, Gasol scored the ball with a mid-range shot, and the score was forced to be close to only two points.

Iverson's subsequent three-point miss gave the Lakers a chance, and Li Chen grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Lao Yu.

According to the instructions of the old monk, the Lakers were going to start a positional battle with the Nuggets in the fourth quarter, and the relatively large advantage on the inside gave the Lakers the confidence to play inside, and the old fish once again handed the ball to Gasol.

Martin didn't make the same mistake this time, firmly holding the defensive position and leaving Gasol without leaving a chance. Seeing that the attack was fruitless, Gasol had no choice but to distribute the ball to Li Chen, who was standing on the bottom line.

Perhaps it was confidence in the third quarter, Li Chen chose to shoot against Anthony.

Syllable! A loud cap fanned the ball off the line, and Melon kindly reminded the opponent to do what he could.

Drip! The referee awarded Anthony a foul on the thug.

Slow motion shows that because Li Chen's shot was too fast, the originally clean cover of the melon that caused the unresponsive touched the back of Li Chen's hand first. It also sent it directly to the free throw line, and three free throws gave the Lakers a chance to overtake the score.

"I wiped my tears, it's free throws again", Li Chen had no choice but to stand on the free throw line, and several days of free throw training made him realize a fact, his free throws seemed to be a little difficult, and he threw nearly a thousand free throws in a few days, but his free throw ability did not rise a little, which made him very painful.

Sure enough, the result of three free throws and one hit once again made the audience laugh, and also gave the three people in the comment table enough talking points to talk about.

"Reggie, as a shooter, I wonder what you think of Lee's free throws." Charles never took into account the feelings of the parties, and unscrupulously sprinkled a handful of salt on Li Chen's wounds.

"There's no reason for that," Miller shook his head, "and it looks like Lee's shooting stance isn't deformed at all, and judging by his shooting percentage, it's not a technical reason at all." If I have to explore, I think the biggest possibility is Lee's psychological quality, especially the poor situation of consecutive free throws, which is likely to put more pressure on him."

The two talked freely about their opinions, but the person concerned, Li Chen, groaned in his heart, "God, the free throw is a hard injury." ”

But fortunately, it was not for nothing, Li Chen successfully raised his personal score to 20 with a free throw, and also narrowed the gap between the two teams to only 1 point.

Because he was unwilling to give Li Chen three free throws, although the fact was that Li Chen only scored 1 point, Melon still took the initiative to reach out for the ball.

Iverson knew that Melon had a great advantage against Li Chen, and when he saw Anthony asking for the ball, he happily divided the ball.

Li Chen patiently defended Anthony, and the experience of his previous life and the way he tried this game made him know that the man with a smile on his face in front of him could have enough means to score on his head. Therefore, he must use more defensive energy and defensive enthusiasm to try to make the opponent suffer a small loss in his own hands.

Anthony took the ball and did all kinds of tentative moves very leisurely, but as long as Li Chen had any slackness, any tentative move could become a prelude to the attack.

Halfway through the offensive time, Anthony's body suddenly rose to the ground, and then, pushing the basketball with both hands, he threw the ball to the basket.

Li Chen couldn't help anything at all, no one jumped high, no one was strong, and the initiative to react was still in the hands of the attacker, which made him try his best to cover Anthony's eyes with his hands.

But some people's goals are just so unreasonable, even if you don't defend well, the basketball will still crash headlong into the basket without hesitation, and that's the value of a superstar. Whenever he was needed, he always took his responsibility and put the ball in the basket again and again.

"It's okay, you're very well prepared, count his luck if you enter."

Looking at Li Chen, who was a little depressed, Kobe Bryant came over and patted his little brother on the shoulder and comforted. "Look for an opportunity to give him back, like you did in the third quarter."

Li Chen nodded, there are still many aspects that he needs to improve, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if he wants to succeed, he must be down-to-earth and make progress little by little. There's no denying that talent plays a big role, but the player's own effort is also essential.

The deeds of Kobe and Maddy are a strong proof of this, they entered the league a year apart, and they were both famous killers in the league, but their later achievements are incomparable, when Maddy switched to the CBA, Kobe was still one of the strongest scorers in the league, which is inseparable from his persistent training.

After a few offensive and defensive transitions, Li Chen took the ball again after shooting a two-point shot, and he wanted to try his hand at attacking, but Bynum pulled out to block for his teammates. The so-called blocking and dismantling, there is a block, there is a dismantling, the old Sloan has been rampant for more than ten years with this trick, but unfortunately Li Chen has not mastered this technology now, although he has a good pass, but Bynum's mid-range shot is not a crosshair.

Therefore, at the moment when Bynum blocked Anthony, Li Chen jumped decisively, and the ball flew over Bynum's head along the arc.

Swish! Although it is a bit hurtful to only block and not dismantle, as long as he can score goals, Li Chen also knows that this trick cannot be used too much, on the one hand, the rebound is not guaranteed after the inside line is pulled, and on the other hand, his personal position in the team is also destined for him not to have so much power. But no matter what, Li Chen's goal helped the Lakers tie the score.

With two minutes left in the game and the two teams drawn, there is still a lot of suspense about who will win or lose.

Iverson showed the essence of a scorer in the final moments, constantly breaking through with the ball and scoring in a long-standing interior with ease. But Kobe Bryant also used his actions to show Iverson that scoring was not his specialty, and he equalized the score again and again.

111:111, with 23 seconds left in the game time, the Nuggets had the ball, Iverson firmly controlled the ball in his hands, and the nature of the killer made him choose to believe in himself at a critical time, ignoring Anthony's reach for the ball. In Iverson's view, if he scored this goal, it would be a slap in the face to Nuggets management.

Ariza has been sent by the old monk to meticulously defend himself, he knows that success or failure is in his hands, if he stops it, then overtime, if he doesn't defend it, then the Lakers will get their first defeat of the season.

Two large crotch dribbles in a row inevitably brought Ariza a hint of nervousness, and she constantly adjusted her defensive position with small steps. Iverson's instantaneous acceleration made Ariza habitually lean in the direction of the opponent's breakthrough, but the answer followed by a change of direction forced the latter to pull his body back, and Ariza's defensive position at this time was quite reluctant. But when Iverson didn't give in to the pain in his knee and cast another twist, Ariza's feet stopped listening and watched his opponent pass him like a log.

Cross-over, the aging Iverson made countless viewers in front of the TV go crazy for this moment.

If all goes well, the fight could well be overned by Iverson's attack. But the accident happened so coincidentally, after dribbling past Ariza, the hidden danger of forcibly changing direction just now suddenly appeared at this moment.

Iverson's injury-plagued knee was dribbling with a sharp pain and inevitably slipped on the soles of his feet, but he was able to pass the ball in time before he fell.

The basketball court is changing rapidly, and Iverson's offense seems to be inevitable, but at this moment, the hope of the Nuggets is in the hands of Anthony, another member of the team......

Syllable! Li Chen, who has been eaten by his opponent countless times, made the most powerful response at this moment. At the moment when Anthony was about to raise his hand, Li Chen decisively reached out and cut the ball off Anthony's hand, and at the same time bent down to scoop up the ball with his hand, with 3.5 seconds left before the end of the game.

Ariza, who had just been ignored by Iverson, suddenly reacted at this time, and ran towards the Nuggets' half court like a desperate game, Li Chen's pass flew towards him, although it was a bit high, but Ariza, who was bursting with potential, struggled to jump up and barely received the ball, and the fire in the hearts of the Lakers was rekindled.

One, two, three, Ariza chose the safest three-step basket and put the ball firmly in the basket, just as the whistle blew at the end of the game.

After the goal, Ariza was a little incredulous, staring at the scoreboard in a daze, until Odom rushed up from the bench and hugged Tiezha fiercely, the latter reacted slightly, and the boos from the stadium told him that he had scored, or a stunner.

Heaven and hell, in just a moment, Ariza who thought he would be a sinner became the hero of the team's victory, and the sudden huge surprise made him cry out in a hurry. As for Li Chen, who pulled himself out of hell with one hand, Tie Zha hugged his teammate's shoulders fiercely, and he didn't know what to say, he could only express his gratitude by shouting hoarsely.

Li Chen smiled calmly, he didn't expect that one of his steals would be a complete Ariza, which was really a little surprising.

Anthony walked up to Li Chen, "Hey, Cruze, congratulations on your victory, but next time it won't be easy." ”

Li Chen was very happy, and teased with a relaxed face, "Thank you, but you are really not interesting during the game, I used to treat you as an idol in vain, but you don't care about it at all, I almost thought that I would be kicked to the bench by the coach in the next game." Fortunately, God was on my side at the last moment, probably too sympathetic to my plight."

Anthony smiled and didn't say anything, walked back and said something to Iverson, the loneliness on the face of the answer made Li Chen feel a little sorry, and for a moment even he thought that the Lakers were losing, but he didn't expect that the answer was ultimately lost to himself, and he was defeated by his injury.

It's always been like this on the basketball court, there are winners and losers, and Iverson believes that Iverson has seen it after so many years. As another contributor to the Lakers' stunner, Li Chen turned his head and blended into the joyful atmosphere of the team, and they wanted to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Although he scored 25 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in this game, and delivered a valuable steal at a critical time, he still lost to Kobe Bryant in the MVP selection, with 41 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds, which was impeccable to be elected MVP. And Li Chen still continues to be amazing.

(The answer ultimately went to me, in memory of Iverson, who once fascinated many people!) )
