"Boss, what are you thinking?"

Vujacic looked at Li Chen and seemed to be thinking about something, and asked curiously. He has been doing well recently, because the addition of Li Chen has greatly improved the offensive power of the Lakers' main lineup, so he has changed direction to leave more time for the benches, and Vujasic's playing time is even slightly improved compared to before.

He looked at Li Chen's strength, and he had never seen a rookie as good as him, and Wu Jacic really couldn't figure out what else to worry about this young man who seemed to have a bright future.

"What else can there be, of course, because of the foul tactics used by the old bastard on the other side against me, it is already a fact that I don't shoot free throws well, and other teams will definitely use this trick in the future." Li Chen gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"Well, what's there to worry about," it didn't matter, Vujacic said it very lightly, but he also had a certain reason to say it.

"How?"

"Do the math yourself", Vujacic breathed a sigh of relief, explaining the reason little by little, "Your current shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are above 80, which is something that others dare not match, because they are worried about your shooting, so the old Dunleavy fouled you, right?" ”

"Nonsense, I know this, I want to know what to do, what you said is equivalent to not saying it." I thought this guy could make some good suggestions, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of meaningless nonsense.

"Listen to me", Li Chen's impatience made Vujacic look unhappy.

"You calculate it this way, if you shoot now, you will be fouled, in other words, every time you shoot normally, it will be turned into 2 or 3 free throws, although your free throw shooting rate is not high, according to you is more than 50 percent, but in this way, your shooting rate is not low, almost close to 50, and your shooting rate is also high among the outside players in the league, and you can also take a foul from the opponent, so what do you have to worry about when shooting?"

The authorities were fascinated by bystanders, and Wu Jasic's words made Li Chen gradually come to his senses. It's true that he only noticed that the free throws made his scoring drop significantly, but he didn't notice that even then he was still a top-notch outside shooter.

Therefore, as long as Li Chen throws the ball, even if the opponent fouls, it will definitely be a sure win.

"Besides," Vujacic continued, "don't you know that the coach also values your passing, and you have to organize the team well, and if you open up other scoring points, it can reduce the pressure on the defensive end for you?" ”

Uh, why is this guy so smart? Li Chen really didn't expect that things would be so simple to put it bluntly, as long as he had a correct mentality, didn't care about other people's fouls on him, and firmly carried out the tactical tasks given to him by the coach, then all the problems would be solved.

You don't have to ask for a lot to score, you can shoot the ball when it arrives, and your teammates can pass it when they have the chance, and that's enough.

Ha, after figuring it out, Li Chen grabbed Vujasic's neck, "Sasha, thank you, I've never been so sure as today, you are a smart guy, I will introduce Sharapova to you when I have the chance." ”

The last sentence surprised Vujasic, who had never told anyone that he was infatuated with Sava.

Ignoring Wu Jiaxi's strange appearance, Li Chen walked in front of the old monk with ease. "Coach, I'm fine, I'll do well later, please trust me!" The words are simple, but they are full of confidence.

The old monk lifted his glasses and glanced at Li Chen in slight surprise, the confidence on the latter's face told him that this was not a joke, Li Chen really figured it out.

Although the old monk believed that his disciple had the ability to overcome difficulties, he didn't expect to let Li Chen find the key to the matter so quickly, which really had to make the old monk sigh that the future of this son is limitless.

Nodding, the old monk said solemnly, "When the second session is held, I hope you can carry out the task I gave you." ”

"No problem, coach". Li Chen's fighting spirit was rekindled.

Soon, the opportunity to play came. After 6 minutes in the second quarter, the old monk replaced Li Chen according to the usual arrangement, and the game during this time was a little anxious, and Ricky Davis, a brush madman who did not hesitate to smash the ball on his own board for the sake of a triple-double, threw two three-pointers like crazy, instantly narrowing the score gap to 2 points.

You must know that this god's three-point shooting rate has been hovering in the 30s all year round, not to mention that now they have been reduced to substitutes, and scoring two in a row can only be attributed to convulsions.

At 38:40, this is the score of the two teams when Li Chen played, and the Lakers led by two points, with 6 minutes left in the second quarter.

Seeing Li Chen on the court, the elder Dunleavy naturally made a gesture for the defenders to execute the foul tactics.

In his opinion, this rookie's play is an opportunity for the Clippers to chase points, as long as Li Chen messes up the Lakers' offensive system first and then messes up the Lakers' offensive system and puts Kobe Bryant in a singles situation, then the Clippers may still have a chance to win.

As for the rest, don't think about it, the difference in strength between the two teams is not just a chasm, but a gap as big as the Grand Canyon in East Africa. Thinking of this, old Dunleavy was very aggrieved, how could a team that had been good suddenly all disperse.

After coming on the court, Li Chen was extremely excited, and he urgently needed a chance to swear to the bad old man, and a foul tactic would not cause him any trouble. Bynum's inside attempt to attack was fruitless and distributed the ball to Li Chen, who made a gesture to shoot, scaring Tim Thomas, who was defending him, jumped up and tried to block, after all, if he can not foul, he will not foul.

Seeing that the opponent was hit, Li Chen passed Thomas in one step and tried to make a stop-and-go jump shot, but was interrupted by a foul by Camby, who rushed up to make up for the defense. He consciously stood on the free throw line and waited for the free throw, and the referee looked at him strangely in a hurry.

"As for being so anxious, is it possible that the free throw shooting technique has suddenly improved"? The bald referee couldn't understand Li Chen's psychology.

The result of one of two free throws told the curious referee that the free throws of this guy were not improving, and the level of free throws comparable to O'Neal's free throws was a great wonder in the league.

Old Dunleavy looked at Li Chen's performance on the field, although he expected it, but the old guy still faintly felt a little wrong. The team executed the foul tactics as always, and it was not obvious from Li Chen's expression that he was troubled by being fouled, and it seemed that his deeper intention of disturbing Li Chen's mind through fouls was likely to fail.

In just ten minutes, the rookie seemed to have figured it out. This makes the old Dunleavy feel a little scary, rookies are always a little impulsive and stunned in people's impressions, like a few in their own team, they don't know what to do when they encounter difficulties, rookies like Li Chen who can calm down and think about problems are really rare, thinking that this old guy has to despise the Lakers' shit luck.

However, he did not waver in the slightest in his foul tactics against Li Chen, no matter what, this could indeed limit his scoring.

Li Chen, who found his own position, played better and better in the next game, focusing more on organization, and he even gave a gorgeous performance of 7 assists in a single quarter in the third quarter, and the Lakers' smooth offensive system made some old fans can't help but shout the slogan "show-time".

The combination of Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, and Worthy made the original Lakers proud of the whole league, and under the joint promotion of the three, the Lakers won five championships in nine years, and the limelight overwhelmed the Green Shirts who had the Bird-McHale-Parish triumvirate system to dominate the East, and dominated for a while. However, with the departure of Pat Riley and the rise of the Bulls dynasty, the Lakers' dynasty was wiped out in a very short period of time, making all the followers of the Purple and Gold Army sigh. And today, the Lakers' flashy offense seems to have brought them back to that passionate old days.

Scoring 35:21 in the single quarter, the Lakers completely suppressed the Clippers, and the initial arrogance of the Davis aircraft carrier turned into a cloud at this moment. Although Li Chen's scoring has been tried his best to limit, you have to know that the Lakers' main scoring point has always been Kobe.

If Li Chen is the core of the Lakers, then the old Dunleavy tactics may still work wonders, but in the current situation, the foul tactics can limit his scoring at most. The tragedy is that although the Clippers know that foul tactics are useless, they still have to do it, otherwise they may lose more.

Looking at the old Dunleavy with an aggrieved look, Li Chen felt a sense of relief in his heart, indeed, in just three quarters, he was sent to the free throw line 15 times, as long as he dared to shoot, what was waiting for him was a foul, and the shooting rate of 7 of 15 free throws was really unsatisfactory.

But fortunately, Li Chen's statistics are not only these, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, yes, it's a block, you read that right, Li Chen, who was beaten out of his temper, was more focused on the defensive end, and successively gave Eric Gordon and Novak, two rookies, a big hat each, which made him feel a lot of deflated after being a little unhappy.

The old monk read Li Chen's performance, and at the same time snickered in his heart, he did not forget to mock the dilemma of his old opponent, but he didn't expect his foul tactics to make Li Chen fight more and more fiercely, from this game, it seems that this little rookie has more potential waiting for people to develop.

The data of 15 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds and quasi-triple-double made Li Chen the best in the game without any suspense, even the god of science and technology who once again scored 31 points, he had to admit that Li Chen was crazy in today's game, or he was driven crazy by the stupid foul tactics of old Dunleavy.

Li Chen walked to the free throw line 19 times in the whole game, hitting 9 shots, with a shooting rate of less than 50 percent, and if it wasn't for the two three-pointers in the opening game, his score might have been lower.

At the post-game press conference, the old monk unceremoniously bombarded Dunleavy Sr. as the reporter expected, although the team defeated the Clippers 121-98, but the old monk launched a surge regardless of this.

Pulling Li Chen's arm over and signaling the reporter to slap violently, the Zen master angrily reprimanded the old Dunleavy for violating sportsmanship, and also stated that Li Chen is only 19 years old, the NBA should pay attention to protecting young players, and some teams can't ignore sportsmanship because of the pursuit of victory, the implication is that the old Dunleavy has no lower limit for victory.

And when the reporter interviewed Li Chen about his thoughts on this, Li Chen snorted angrily and said, "He is like a clown, his funny tactics made him lose the game in the end, as for free throws, sir, I don't know if you have heard of it, O'Neal's father once said, 'Even if you have a 99% free throw shooting rate, if you don't score what you should have, it's useless', I deeply feel that this sentence is good." ”

The humorous answer made the reporters laugh out loud. Old Dunleavy, who had heard this sentence for the second time, had no choice but to smile helplessly.

The old guy suddenly changed his words, "Lee is right, I am indeed like a clown in this game, and I am sorry for the damage my tactics have caused to Lee." Old Dunleavy's sincere apology made Li Chen feel that this old guy was not bad.

"But I want to emphasise that it was a game, and the only thing I was after in the game was to win, and the tactics that I used against Lee were also needed to win, and although it didn't work out, we could also see that it limited his scoring to a certain extent, and I'm sure more people must have noticed that. For Lee, I would say that you are a talented young man, but you have to remember that in the NBA, if you have any shortcomings, then your opponents will definitely attack this with all their might until you are completely broken, and all you can do is not complain, but try to perfect your technical characteristics. After all, this is the NBA, a man's battlefield, and gentlemanly demeanor is not welcome here! There is a sentence I want to give to Lee, and I believe many rookies have told him. ”

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA, this is just the beginning."

The old guy's words won people's understanding, indeed, the coach's first purpose is to win, which is understandable, although the old monk is not angry, but for the sake of Dunleavy saying so sincerely, he did not pursue it further.

After all, he also knows that if he wants to mix in the NBA, then these problems are inevitable, Li Chen must face this problem, otherwise O'Neal would not have been troubled for so many years, but through today's performance, the old monk has great confidence in the future of his disciple.

After listening to the other party's words, Li Chen also sighed slightly, there are still many difficulties he should face in the future, and he sincerely thanked old Dunleavy.

"Old fellow, thank you for the reminder, I'll remember. But that doesn't stop me from continuing to condemn your damn tactics, and if you use them again next time, I'll let you taste defeat again, and believe me, even if I'm just a rookie, but I can do what I say. ”
