Chapter 098: Salute to the Opponent

Regarding the situation that Li Chen has become the focus of the audience, the great god expressed great interest. "Phil, are you interested in taking a gamble?"

The old monk raised his eyes and looked at his disciple, "What do you say?" ”

"It's very simple, the next ball, do you guess which hand that rookie will play, is it an ordinary goal, or is it an idea to try to be in the limelight?"

"Why not bet on him to score?" The old monk is a little strange about Kobe's bet, why is it so complicated, and whether the bet can be entered is not how easy it is!

Kobe Bryant spread out his hands, "Please, that's too boring, everyone can see that this rookie feels hot today, it's not so much whether he can get in, it's more interesting to think about how he will get in!" It can be seen that the boss is full of confidence in his younger brother, and he preemptively occupies a good answer.

"Let me start with this, I bet this little guy will never worry, anyway, at least he won't shoot a basket casually! Based on what I know about him, if he doesn't take this opportunity to make a big splash, it won't be him! ”

The old monk looked scoundrel, "You can't be like this, everyone knows Cruze's character." However, as a coach, he still can't beat Kobe Bryant, who is a generation younger than him, "Okay, I'll fulfill you, just according to what you said, ten dollars!" ”

Bryant smiled with a successful conspiracy, and in his opinion, he had won the gamble.

Li Chen didn't know that the unscrupulous boss and the coach had already made a bet on him, otherwise he would definitely go over and tear down their field. This guy's reaction must be something like this, "I'm only worth ten dollars in your eyes, what a joke!" ”

The gambling game was only known after the fact, and now Li Chen on the field was not affected by the outside world. Although the shouts of the crowd made him a little excited, he was still calmly thinking about how to score this goal, and of course, it was not a bad thing to be slightly in the limelight at the same time. Obviously, Kobe Bryant guessed his little brother's mind correctly.

His eyes swept over Arenas, who was already panting a little, and Li Chen suddenly had an idea.

With the ball firmly in his hands, he didn't leave Stevenson with a chance to make a steal, and although his dribbling skills were not first-class, he could still do a good job as simple as protecting the ball.

The experienced Stevenson did not rush up to interfere, since Li Chen did not move, he would not react, anyway, the 24-second rule was there, and it was himself who suffered so much from the big apple.

"What is that rookie thinking about?" Kobe Bryant looked at the little brother on the field puzzled, "Is it so difficult to have an offensive tactic, I have been thinking about it for more than ten seconds and it is not over, and I will count the seconds after a while!" ”

The old monk smiled mysteriously, "It's even more interesting to count the seconds!" ”

The two commentators on the TV were also puzzled by this scene, "Li Chen seems to have a problem with the choice of attack, he has been hesitating, and almost all 24 seconds of time have been consumed by him!" ”

"Sure enough, the timer has already counted the seconds, Li Chen's ball seems to be very dangerous, and the battle between No. 0 may continue!"

Just when everyone was worried about Li Chen's choice, with the sound of the timer counting the seconds, he finally had the next move.

Everything is so rhythmic, the second reading of the timer is like a big apple's action command, a very soft and smooth posture, Li Chen seems to be ready to throw the ball.

Stevenson looked coldly at the grandstanding of the Big Apple, if you want to shoot at least a little back, although this kind of straight and straight shooting is beautiful, but it is too despise the bounce of the defender, Stevenson, who feels that he is being ignored, jumped up, he wants to cover the ball, but he may have forgotten that there is such a thing as feints in the world.

The strange sense of rhythm was shocking, and Li Chen naturally took back the body that was about to fly up under the stunned eyes of his opponent, and his shooting feints easily deceived the defensively experienced Stevenson.

There is also a reason why this strategy can be successful, on the one hand, Li Chen's feints are indeed a bit level, probably because of his superb archery, his false shooting has always been a headache.

On the other hand, Li Chen's excellent touch in this game also made Stevenson temporarily ignore the possibility that the opponent would make this choice, he felt that the second count of the timer would definitely make this guy nervously force a shot, but he didn't think that this rookie's mood was calm and terrifying.

The result was already doomed when Stevenson was deceived, facing the opponent's falling body, Li Chen jumped up easily, and before the last second, he calmly shot, and the basketball flew towards the basket very smoothly.

"Cut, it's just a whistle shot after a long time!" Kobe Bryant pursed his lips disdainfully, because in this way, it was obvious that he had lost, although the whistle shooting was a bit of a test of people's minds, but it was not a showy performance after all.

It's just that, with Li Chen's usual style, will he allow this ball to end so simply? The answer is obviously no, but the ball has already been shot, and if you want to show it, you can only work on other aspects.

The next action fully expresses the meaning of the word arrogance, and before the basketball enters the basket, the big apple turns around very domineeringly, his hands raised high, and he is waiting to greet the cheers of the fans.

Swish! The crisp sound of wiping the net detonated the enthusiasm of the scene, today's big apple is too domineering, and I have the impression that Arenas has also done this arrogant action, but this time, the protagonist has been replaced by a big apple that is still a rookie.

"Arrogant!" The explanation room of the cav was silent for a long time, and Yang Jian broke the silence.

Yu Jia also sighed, "Perfect, from the previous feints to the later jump shots, and the later arrogant moves, everything can only be described as perfect." Li Chen reproduced the classic moment of Arenas, this is the essence of a killer! ”

The audience in front of the TV is also uncontrollable excited, in the NBA is becoming more and more lacking in passion and enthusiasm, Li Chen's performance has greatly broadened the audience's horizons, and many people know that the charm of basketball is far more than just imagined, even shooters can play such arrogant goals.

Kobe Bryant and the old monk glanced at each other, the two smiled, tied, Li Chen saved the boss at the last moment, although it was just an ordinary shot, but what happened later had nothing to do with the usual, and the head of the top five had no choice but to run.

"The feints are pretty beautiful," the boss found out more, "This rookie has made progress again, the original feints were genuine, and now it's finally a little effective!" ”

After such an arrogant goal, the topic of the No. 0 controversy has come to a relatively perfect end, Arenas is characterized by a big heart, and Li Chen's goal also fully shows that his heart is not small. Recreate the classic moment of the opponent, this should be regarded as the most powerful counterattack.

In the time that followed, the game returned to calm again, and the general who had just behaved like a rejuvenated seemed to fall back into confusion, under the help of Li Chen and Famar, his accuracy was lost, and the result of smashing the basket twice in a row was completely unremarkable.

And Li Chen's side seems to have lost the interest in scoring after losing the opponent who can compete, not only is the forced move completely invisible, but even the assist teammates don't seem to be as positive as before, but fortunately, the Lakers are not short of scorers.

The outstanding performance of his teammates stimulated Tie Zha, who was rarely in the first place, and for Li Chen, Tie Zha's thoughts have always been complicated. At the beginning of the season, he also regarded Li Chen as a competitor, and Tiezha was waiting for Li Chen to fall out of favor at any time.

But later, he has gradually found that this idea is unrealistic, although he has been plagued by foul tactics, but Li Chen's strength has been steadily improving, coupled with the later Li Chen's assist, Tie Zha finally decided to let go of his prejudices, and instead decided to keep up with Li Chen's footsteps, at least not too far.

Then, Tieza suddenly found that it didn't seem to be easy to keep up with his teammates, overnight, Li Chen suddenly became the youngest All-Star starter after Kobe, for this Ariza never dared to think, more and more things made him finally understand that he and Li Chen are not the same world after all.

Because of Kobe's absence today, Ariza has rarely gained the trust of the old monk, who only served as the team's starting small forward when Li Chen occasionally played as a substitute at the beginning of the year, and then the end of the Apple-cutting tactic also changed direction to announce the shattering of his dream of starting. If it weren't for the boss's accidental injury, Tiezha really didn't know what day he would have to wait for if he wanted to realize his dream!

In line with the rare opportunity, Ariza's performance today was very active, when Li Chen led the offense, he desperately ran and grabbed rebounds, and when the old monk wanted to defend, he also played the role of a defensive leader, which well limited the play of the Wizards' three masters, Caron Butler.

And after Li Chen and Arenas calmed down at the same time, Ariza broke out without warning, first with a three-pointer, so that Li Chen's not excellent pass got a good enough finish, and the hollow sound of entering the net seemed to refute the nickname people gave him - Tieza!

Tieza then took advantage of his breakthrough and continued to attack the inside, although one smashed the basket, but fortunately the other two were hits, and the Wizards' sparse defense allowed Ariza to plunder in the box.

Haywood and Jamison were completely led by the Lakers' twin towers, and the rest of Butler did not do a good job of restraining Ariza due to the decline in the team's overall momentum. Tiezha rarely enjoyed the feeling of a super scorer, and he even wondered if he was going to change teams next season, it doesn't matter if he is weak, as long as he can give enough opportunities to shoot, of course, all of this is premised on the Lakers winning the championship this season.

The Wizards thoroughly explained what it means to be at the bottom of the East after Arenas was beaten back to their original form, and no matter how many consecutive breakaways turned their defense upside down, the Wizards couldn't find a sense of offense alone.

Jamison and Butler have also been insecure this season, with alternate absences keeping them at their best. And it is precisely because of the entanglement of the three heads this season that the Wizards may now have the worst record in team history.

It's rare for three people to be present at the same time today, but the wizards still can't seem to escape the tragedy of failure. After three quarters, the Wizards not only failed to salvage the 11-point deficit in the first half, but also tragically expanded that number to 18 points.

Arenas' play in the first half of the game seemed to drain the last vestige of the Wizards' talent, and in the final four minutes they managed to score two points, compared to the Lakers' eight points, and the Washingtonians had enough reason to beat their chests.

In the final quarter of the game, the Wizards, who had lost all momentum, completely gave up resistance and surrendered, 96-112, they showed what the bottom of the East should be.

Li Chen played for the first time as the offensive core of the team, and his performance did not disappoint the people who supported him, 28 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds, although the number of assists was less than usual, but at least he did not drop as much as people expected in scoring, and the increase in shooting opportunities made his score naturally increase a lot.

Although this kind of data has a non-negligible relationship with the strength of the Wizards at the bottom of the East, this game at least tells people that Li Chen is undoubtedly a tactical beneficiary, but this does not mean that he only has that strength, as long as he is given a chance, the Big Apple can always surprise you!
