Chapter 020: "Cutting Fruits" Turmoil

"O'Neal's Dad Says," was the headline the Los Angeles Times came up the next day, along with a photo of Li Chen looking smug at the post-match press conference. The quasi-triple-double data made him erase the film of countless media, especially the 19 free throws in a single game, which made this game the focus of public discussion.

In recent years, the "shark cutting tactics" have gradually fallen out of people's field of vision with the declining state of O'Neal, but I didn't expect that after a short time, it was still in Los Angeles, and one of the parties was still the main figure of the shark cutting sect - Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr.

From the prehistoric monster Chamberlain to the mighty Shark O'Neal, to the big Apple Plum who is now showing his strength in the league, people have found that the free throw problem seems to have become a tradition for Angelenos.

Of course, the first few who were cut were all the top interior beasts in the league, all of them All-Star calibres, but this time the protagonist was replaced by an outside rookie whose shooting percentage could make history.

Regardless of the huge contrast between the two, because of Li Chen's new nickname, many media laughed that this was an organized and premeditated "fruit cutting" tactic, and people exclaimed that the most adorable tactic in history was born in the Los Angeles Civil War.

Phoenix's local media interviewed O'Neal, the former victim of the shark-slashing tactic and now the Phoenix Suns' main center, about Li Chen's statement.

"I never doubted what my dad said," laughs the big shark.

"Lee is right, Dunleavy Sr. is a clown, no matter how funny he is, it is impossible to change the fate of losing, and I am glad that my dad's words are once again true."

Of course, the humorous fat man didn't forget to ridicule Li Chen's free throws.

"Hey, little one, how the hell do you practice, do you need me to teach you how to shoot free throws, you have to know that my shooting percentage is almost 60. For my dad's sake, I can coach you on free throws. ”

The unscrupulous fat man finally gave Li Chen a piece of advice, "Be careful of old Nelson and ** Vicky, they are in the same group as old Dunleavy." ”

Compared with Li Chen, who erased countless films in Los Angeles, the media in Chicago were a little depressed, thinking that Rose had just taken a 20+5 data that was enough for them to show off for some days, but they didn't expect Li Chen to hit a quasi-triple-double in a blink of an eye, and the strange incident of 19 free throws attracted the public's attention for him.

In desperation, Chicago's local media "Chicago Sun" could only say without pain, Li Chen is just a shooter, and the hard injury of free throws will greatly reduce his power, as for assists, they attribute the reason to the fact that it is too easy to brush assists because the Lakers have too many top attackers, and it can be easily brushed out by replacing Rose to the Lakers, and the beneficiaries of a tactical system cannot be compared with the core of a tactic after all.

Los Angeles is gone, for the naïve remarks of his Chicago peers, the famous Lakers columnist Kevin-Ding unceremoniously pointed out Rose's shortcomings in shooting percentage and organization, in terms of the number of shots, Li Chen only averaged eleven shots per game, and Rose's shots were almost twice as many as Li Chen's, but the two were about the same in terms of scoring, and the implication was very clear.

At the end of the article, the author also responded to the Chicago media's remarks that let Ross come, and made it clear that even if you want to exchange Ross for Li Chen, we don't have to change it. Now that the tactical system of No. 0 and the Lakers is as harmonious as fish and water, the Lakers are not so stupid to break such a near-perfect system.

The media on both sides continued to fight against each other, and the New Yorkers also carried forward the spirit of entertainment and unceremoniously inserted a kick, and the attitude of supporting Li Chen made the fans in Los Angeles less vigilant about him a lot, they didn't know that in fact, these people came to praise their own players just to grab people to be pioneers.

In the end, supporters on both sides agreed that they would turn their attention to the Staples Center in half a month's time, when Los Angeles would host the first meeting of the season between the Bulls and Lakers, which the media dubbed "The Rookie of the Year Battle."

Li Chen, who was in the center of the whirlpool of events, was not affected by the media war of words, and he slipped to his girlfriend's school again the day after the game, and he found that this place was good, there were many young people, and if the media broke in, he could sneak out pretending to be a student while he was unprepared, which was really a holy place for soldiers to hide.

Because the next game was still three days later, the old monk gave the players a day off. At this time, Li Chen was snickering alone, but he didn't expect that after a few games, the improvement of his various ability data was more obvious than training, and in less than half a month, he found that his offensive awareness had risen by 4 points to 74, and it seemed that the practice of his back was very effective.

Defensive awareness has increased by 3 points, Li Chen knows that this is the accumulation of game experience to pile it up, dribbling, physical strength, endurance, steals, blocks, rebounds, and strength have all increased slightly by 1 to 2 points, but these are secondary.

After a few games of adaptation, Li Chen has become more and more comfortable with organizing the team, and his open vision allows him to radiate brilliance like a slightly mediocre pass, which is also attributed to the outside world as a playmaker.

Although his physical fitness is not as good as James', the No. 0's excellent shooting still makes many basketball commentators hopeful about his future development. What's more, in their opinion, Li Chen, who is only 19 years old, can definitely tap more potential in various physical qualities.

"71's pass, wahahaha", Li Chen smiled a little, every game he found that his passing would improve to a certain extent, and after a few games, it increased by 9 points. At this rate, it is entirely possible that Li Chen's passing level will reach its peak by the end of this season.

"When the time comes, there will be a few no-look-passes in a game, and it will shock you to death." The soaring data has made Li Chen already look forward to his bright future.

The debate in the alliance about cutting fruit is still going on at this time, and the owner of the matter, Dunleavy Sr., said unabashedly in an interview with the media.

"David Stern hates it because he thinks it doesn't make the game enjoyable. But in my opinion, spectacle is bullshit in front of the team's victory, not to mention, the player has his strengths and weaknesses, a player like Lee, shooting is his strength, free throws are his weaknesses, why do you allow Lee to use his advantages to attack us, and when we attack his shortcomings, we get your rejection, it's not fair! Isn't the league all about fairness? I don't think there's anything wrong with the tactical set-up, and as you can see, Lee's scoring was limited to a certain extent, but unfortunately he's not a shooter, and that's a big part of why we lost. ”

The old guy felt that his words were reasonable, and he was very impressed by some of David Stern's approaches, and in his opinion, the game should be a game, not a performance.

The elder Dunleavy's words also received some support within the league, among which the head coach of the Spurs, Vicky, and the founder of the Shark Sr., Nelson Sr., stood up to support the elder Dunleavy and bombarded David Stern for all kinds of stumbling blocks given to them.

** Vicky even bluntly said that when his team meets the Lakers, he will definitely spare no effort to foul Li Chen.

The words of several stubborn old men also annoyed David Stern, and the next day, the league issued a $10,000 fine to each of the three old men for inappropriate remarks. This caused an uproar within the league, but the NBA has always been Stern's word, and the ** old guy does not allow any discordant voices within the league.

However, for Li Chen, David Stern is still very satisfied, his favorite is the topic, as long as there is a topic, there will be attention, and there will be development of the alliance. Especially Li Chen not only has a topic, but also his strength should not be underestimated, and more importantly, his handsome appearance and the oriental blood in his body are what David Stern is most satisfied with.

In recent years, Yao Ming's state has been declining due to injuries, and Yi Jianlian's performance has not been satisfactory, as for Sun Dasheng, the old guy can't even remember this person. David Stern breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally found Yao Ming's successor, and the Asian market would not shrink after Yao Ming's marginalization.

And Li Chen's appearance and American nationality made David Stern decide to train him to be the next Grant Hill, so as to enliven the NBA ball market that has always been painless.

The Lakers' next game has attracted a lot of attention, and many coaches want to take this opportunity to observe the enforceability of the "cut fruit" tactic, and they are all thinking about whether it is worth it to foul Li Chen again and again.

And after four games, the old skaters also got their own answers. Although the Lakers' eight-game winning streak allowed them to get off to the second best start in team history, what attracted more attention from the coaches of each team was Li Chen's performance.

Except for the Rockets' Adelman who did not foul Li Chen because he believed in the defensive ability of Battier and Artest, the other three teams of Pistons, Mavericks and Hornets all firmly implemented the "fruit cutting tactic", and the data of the four games easily illustrated the problem.

When playing against the Rocket, because of the increase in defensive intensity, Li Chen was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the game, and even made two passing mistakes, but after adjustment, he began to run actively, and the Rocket's strong single defense ability did not achieve good results against Li Chen, who was stuck on the outside and did not rush in.

He scored an astonishing 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting, 6-of-7 three-point shooting, which is also the highest score in his current career, even though Kobe Bryant only scored 22 points in this game, but the Lakers still narrowly beat the Rockets by 5 points, and the three-quarters of the Chinese derby, which has attracted much attention in China, also ended in the Lakers winning, this result made many Rockets fans who shouted the team's championship slogan very sad.

As for why it is three-quarters of the Chinese derby, Li Chen can only count half of it because he only has Chinese ancestry, plus the whole Yao Ming over there, and then divide it by the total number, it is exactly three-quarters.

Forgive the lovely fans for ignoring Sun Dasheng again, in their words, you can't play, why count you.

In the other three games, Li Chen's score dropped sharply because of the foul tactics, and he scored 13 points, 12 points, and 14 points in the three games, and the free throw scores were 9 of 18, 8 of 17, and 10 of 19, which was just about 50.

Nearly the same number of shots, but almost four-tenths fewer points, is a statistic that supports the other teams' coaches to be steadfast in their decision to continue this tactic.

However, in these games, some people have also found something more interesting, it seems that the tactics of the old Dunleavy made Li Chen suddenly open up the second pulse of Ren Du, and No. 0's already excellent passing organization ability seems to be more perverted.

The average of 9.8 assists per game in four games even makes people wonder if this guy is going for the assist king this season, and even the old monk is thinking that maybe he should try Li Chen in the point guard position, but considering his slightly weak dribble, the old monk feels that he needs to wait and see.

Looking at the whole league, Li Chen's average of 15+10+5 per game makes him even capable of running for the best player, but considering that the Lakers still have a Kobe Bryant pressing, this kind of thing is almost impossible.

However, if this continues, Li Chen's ability will obviously get stronger and stronger, and the stage that the Lakers can give him is obviously not enough, this almost a foregone conclusion makes Lakers fans have to worry about Li Chen's belonging next season.

Li Chen's short contract and local identity, as well as his favorable feelings for New York revealed from his words, have made more and more Knicks fans believe that the Big Apple Plum will definitely return to the Big Apple next year, and what they should do now is to try to wait for the Big Apple to come as scheduled. With this in mind, New Yorkers are less concerned about the blatant data scraping behavior of David Lee, Marbury and others.

"Brush it, have a good time, brush a good data just in time to change you next year."

That's what a large portion of New York fans think. Of course, there are some people who think it's too early to talk about it, the season has just started, and you're talking about next season, so where will the team's existing players be faced? What's more, it is still unknown whether Li Chenjia will join the Knicks.

After playing less than 10 games in his career, he was tied to another team, Li Chen can also be regarded as the first person in history, maybe there should be a place for him in the league's top 10 anti-bone boys in the future.

However, in his position, Li Chen still has this work ethic, and his conscientious performance has also won the love of the fans, no matter what he does in the future, as long as he plays well, the fans can forgive everything.
