Li Chen, who was sitting on the bench, looked at his statistics, 18 points, 8 assists and 2 rebounds, which should be regarded as a very amazing statistic for a rookie's debut, but Li Chen felt that it was not safe, he felt that he needed more points and assists to ensure that he won the bet with Kobe.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant on the field was leading the team to further open the score, Li Chen knew that the game would soon enter garbage time, and if nothing else, the old monk would not arrange himself to play again.

"Coach, I'd like to be able to play in garbage time, do you think it's okay?" Li Chen looked at the old monk expectantly.

"Well, you know, it's unconventional, usually garbage time is for substitutes to workout, and you're a starter right now." The old monk wanted to tell his disciples that it was better to stay a line.

"That's right, Coach." Li Chen told the old monk about his bet with Kobe. "So, if I can win the bet, it's a good thing for me and for the team, and once my attacking skills are better, you will have more freedom to play your tactics."

The old monk thought about this reason, so with a big wave of his hand, Kobe, Gasol and Fisher were all replaced on the court, and Li Chen was arranged to the position of scoring guard.

Now the Lakers' on-court lineup is a combination of Radjanovic, Josh Powell, Wharton, Li Chen and Famar, and the attack power is pitiful, so the burden of scoring also comes to Li Chen.

"Jordan, I'll pay attention to pass the ball to me later, I'll give you an assist, although it caused you to lose $50,000, but I'm sure you won't mind, right?" Li Chen began to encourage his teammates to feed him the ball.

Famar shrugged, "If you have a vacant seat, I'll pass it, of course, I can only try, after all, I'm not Steve Nash." ”

There were only 8 minutes before the end of the game, and the difference between the two teams was still beating back and forth around 20 points. Because of the lack of key players such as Kobe and Gasol, Li Chen can no longer get opportunities easily, and he needs to fight for empty opportunities through his own running.

At this time, defending Li Chen is Rookie Rudy Fernandez, a newcomer who has just joined the Trail Blazers, and the Spaniard, who has just dunked Howard and won a foul at the Beijing Olympics, has become an important piece of the team. In the face of Li Chen, who performed well in this game, Fernandez did not dare to relax a little, and Batum's experience has told him not to leave a shooting opportunity for the opponent, otherwise it will be a cold bench waiting for him. is also a rookie this year, and Li Chen seems to be one level higher than him.

Facing Fernandez's concentrated defense, Li Chen felt that it was impossible to play strongly with his offensive skills. Thankfully, he never thought about that, and he knew that all he could do was try to get rid of defenders through his movements.

Suddenly, Li Chen accelerated and ran to the inside, and Fernandez had no choice but to follow him to the inside, and Li Chen's subsequent reverse run allowed him to pull away from Fernandez by a close body.

Famar, who has been paying attention to Li Chen's side, immediately passed the ball over, and Famal realized from Kobe Bryant and others that it seems that Li Chen's passing benefit is the highest, because in most cases he will shoot when he catches the ball, and he throws unusually accurately. But this time Famar was wrong, Li Chen took a step to the left with the ball to dodge Fernandez who tried to jump up and block himself, and before Bayles rushed over to make up for the defense, he passed the ball back to Famar.

Farmar even had time to adjust as the basketball flew into the basket with a nice arc.

"Pass it beautifully." Famar and Li Chen clapped their hands, "I thought my assist was invalid, but I didn't expect to get a three-pointer." ”

"Hehe, isn't it better to score in person than to assist, I've forgotten the $50,000." Li Chen brushed an assist, and if he came again, he would get a double.

"If you want to pass me a few more good balls, how about I lose another 50,000 to you another day." Famar was originally from a wealthy family, and money was not important to him, but he didn't have a good impression of him because he felt that he had lost face in front of Li Chen. And now, it is clear that the old monk loves Li Chen, and Famar, as a substitute, is also happy to repair his relationship with Li Chen.

Because of the big score lead, the Lakers' players play very casually, and they shoot one by one when they seize the opportunity, regardless of whether he hits iron or not, it is the top priority to brush up the data first. Li Chen also joined the army of scoring, but the efficiency was a bit low, because it was basically a forced shot, 3 shots and one hit, Li Chen raised his score to 20 with a two-point, and at the same time he was lucky to pick up two rebounds during this time, but also sent a passing error.

The Trail Blazers have decided to give up, McMillan switched to the bench lineup, and Batum, who made a mistake, finally returned to the court, and naturally he found Li Chen.

Looking at Batum, who was glaring at him, Li Chen was very helpless, "Didn't you shoot a three-point shot in front of you, and didn't you shoot your horse, as for such a bitter hatred?" "Having been promoted as a regular since joining the team, he had no idea how hard it was for rookies to work on the bench and that they needed to show maximum value in the least amount of time to earn the manager's trust. That defensive mistake just now was like a bad review among many positive reviews, and Batum had to accumulate more credibility with the coach if he could redeem the bad impression he had left on the coach.

However, Li Chen will not cut off his hands and let Batum dispose of them because of the hardships of the substitutes, a very delicate crotch, he finally brushed the last assist for himself.

"Alas, Batum, you're naughty again!" Big Mouth shows no mercy and does everything he can to show his talent in commentary. And Batum will soon be off the field again, and what awaits him will be a cold bench that he doesn't know how long he will sit.

"You can't blame me, who told him to step his legs so wide, you have to know that my passing level is not as good as Famar's." Li Chen was helpless to explain his innocence to his teammates, but the distrustful eyes of his teammates made him very sad.

In addition to being sad, Li Chen even grabbed an offensive rebound when Ariza missed a shot. For the sake of the little guy's reputation in the future, the old monk ignored the pitiful eyes of his disciple and decisively replaced Li Chen with Wu Jasic.

"Boss, your performance just now is really beautiful, especially that crotch, how did you come up with it." Wu Jacic and Li Chen clapped their hands, and the boss's excellent performance made the younger brother feel honored.

"Hehe", Li Chen smiled, "You also have to work hard, take advantage of the time to brush up on more data." In a good mood, he walked to the sideline and hugged Amy, "Honey, how am I doing today?" ”

Amy looked excited, "It's amazing, especially that pass just now, Julie and I are laughing like crazy, haha, you're so bad!" ”

"Of course, but if it weren't for you on the sidelines, I wouldn't have played so well, thank God for letting me meet the cutest Amy." Li Chen once again carried forward the method of sweet death does not pay for life, making Amy giggle.

"Yo, you two are disgusting." Julie next to her couldn't stand it, "I don't think about the feelings of the people next to me at all, I just broke up, and the two of you are still showing affection in front of me." ”

"What's the matter, if you're hungry, we have a lot of macho men in our team, so why don't I introduce you to one."

"Phew, just the ones on your team, I want handsome guys, okay?" Julie was dissatisfied, and in his opinion, Li Chen belittled his own taste.

"Well, well, if Amy doesn't mind, I don't mind giving you a little energy." Li Chen began to be cheap again, and then Julie's words made him understand that fierce women are not easy to mess with.

"Cut, you don't know, Amy is a Puritans, and premarital sex is against the teachings, I think you should save that little energy to." One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Li Chen almost didn't hide his face and wept when he said a word.

The game finally came to an end in the constant iron, and from the sound it seemed that the substitutes on both sides were very happy. 124 to 112, the Trail Blazers' bench was a few points more.

MVP gave Kobe Bryant, who got 29 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, if the old monk had kept Li Chen on the court, this MVP would probably be Li Chen's, but Li Chen didn't mind, there will be more MVPs in the future, not to mention that if he doesn't get it now, he will make the boss unhappy, for his 22 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds, our actor is still very satisfied.

In addition, Gasol on the Lakers' side had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Bynum had 13 points and 13 rebounds. Odom and Ariza, who came off the bench, also scored more than 10 points, and overall, the Lakers had a total of 6 players scoring in double figures, and the performance in the opening game was perfect.

On the Trail Blazers' side, in addition to Roy's 32 points, only Aldridge's 19 points and 9 rebounds are quite satisfactory, and the highly-anticipated Emperor only got 8 points and 8 rebounds Geely data, and Oden, who is a combination of four centers, was completely pressed by the opposite Bynum in terms of data.

After the game, Li Chen and Kobe Bryant were pulled by the old monk to the post-game press conference, although because it was the opening game, most people's focus was on Kobe and the old monk, but the media still will not forget Li Chen, a rookie with an amazing performance.

"Hello Lee, I'm a reporter for the Chicago Sun, and the news just came from Chicago that Decrick Rose had 11 points and 9 assists in his debut, and it looks like his stats are completely lost to you, do you think you're better than Rose in scoring?" A reporter asked treacherously that in his opinion, rookies are always easy to be fooled, especially since this rookie performed well today.

"Eh, who is so uninteresting, when I am a fool, I will ask about this kind of offending people!" Li Chen scolded secretly in his heart, but he still had to show a smile on his face.

"Rose can create scoring opportunities himself, and most of the time I need Kobe Bryant, Paul and they give me a lot of defense, which I can't do as well as Rose, and of course, it shows that my technical characteristics are very suitable for the Lakers' system. As for the rest, I guess we'll talk about it later, after all, it's just the first game, isn't it, Mr. Reporter"?

The impeccable answer made the reporter pounce, and even the old monk felt that Li Chen's answer was very smart.

"Hello," another unwilling reporter raised his hand to ask, "many people see that you are still on the field during garbage time, I wonder if you will be considered to be suspicious of data swiping." Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Li Chen, this is a matter of professional ethics, there is a play.

Li Chen shrugged helplessly, "Mr. Reporter, I don't think you should forget that this is only my first game, I have not joined the Lakers for a few days, and I stayed on the court because the coach wants to have a more comprehensive understanding of my technical characteristics, and at the same time, I can also learn more experience on the court." As for swiping data, I think you misunderstood, I'm just a rookie. ”

Li Chen threw the responsibility to the old monk very irresponsibly, and seemed to have completely forgotten that he had begged to play before.

Although he was not satisfied with Li Chen's answer, fortunately, it did not bring unnecessary trouble, and the old monk patiently argued with the reporter.

After the meeting, Li Chen found Kobe, "Hey, old bird, it seems that I won, does your bet still count?" ”

Kobe said treacherously, "Of course, you win, get to the team's training room two hours early tomorrow morning, and if you are late, I will consider you giving up this opportunity." ”

"Ah", Li Chen didn't expect to lift a stone and hit his own foot, looking at the back of Kobe Bryant's departure, he had a little headache, he knew that what Kobe said was true, if he didn't go, not only would he have no chance to learn, but he would also leave a bad feeling for the boss.

"Hey, bear with it, you have to endure hardships, and you will become a master. Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies......" Li Chen even dragged up the ancient text, "What is the next sentence." ”

"Cruze, what's wrong?" Amy looked at her boyfriend and was curious.

"It's nothing, I'm practicing Chinese," Li Chen shook his head, "You guys wait here for me, I'll go get the car and send you back to school." ”
