Chapter 062: The Return of the King

The loss to the Trail Blazers was unprecedented in the joy of the New York fans, and of course, they were not bored enough to be happy about the loss, and the reason for this reaction was entirely because after this game, the haunting Big Apple was finally able to return.

God knows how much the fans missed him during the loss of the Big Apple, especially as they watched the team repeat the same failures over and over again, and they finally realized how important the kid with 59 points was to this team.

"It's been a long time since you've played, do you feel uncomfortable?" The child's relationship with someone has progressed very quickly recently, although it has not yet reached the point of righteousness, but it can be regarded as a happy relationship, I have to say, with a proper medium, feelings can sometimes become extraordinarily simple.

"No, it's just a shift!" Li Chen didn't pay too much attention to today's game, "Can I say I'm depressed, the beautiful holiday is over so soon, I haven't enjoyed it enough!" ”

Ivanka was amused when she heard the man's complaints, "I hope you can say these things in front of the media, and I believe the team will be happy to give you a private vacation!" ”

At 7 p.m. local time, the return battle of the Big Apple officially started in New York, and the Knicks' opponent this time was the Chicago Bulls, the hard stubble in the East.

With the core of the team finally returning, the local fans in New York enthusiastically unfurled banners in the stadium, and after more than a month of worry, they couldn't wait to see the Big Apple crush their opponents.

β€œ50+!” The words on the banner are concise and to the point, and the fans are very unanimous. They're looking forward to the Big Apple being able to score another Superman score in their return battle, even if it seems a bit difficult, but people believe it. The Big Apple doesn't disappoint.

The reaction of the fans made Li Chen's unscrupulous teammates very indignant, "Do you want to be so high-profile, take another fifty points, do they really think that fifty points is so easy to take, Cruz, if you continue like this, you will raise the eyes of the fans." Be careful that you get 30 points in the future, which is called a malfunction! ”

For the ridicule of his teammates, someone was noncommittal, and scoring 50 points was originally a joke from fans. He didn't take it very seriously, for him, winning this game was the most important thing, other than that. No matter how beautiful the stats are, they can't hide the regret of losing.

D'Antoni has also been looking forward to Li Chen's return for a long time. For the first time after losing the disciple he relied on the most, he found that the chips in his hand were so scarce, to be exact, the chips for scoring.

David Lee is dedicated to brushing his own data, but Larry Hughes and Chandler are more than capable of doing it, and as for Battier, no matter how tough he is, he is just a blue-collar player, and I thought that the two rookies were going to explode. The result was not enough of it, and people hit the rookie wall again.

The team's losing streak has caused D'Antoni to have been struggling lately. In particular, many fans and media have turned their attention to him as the head coach, which makes the mustache a little worried, and the position of head coach in New York is well paid, and he does not want to abandon it for the time being.

Winning is the only option to avoid the end of the class, but the reality is that New York has just ended a losing streak, and fortunately, the Big Apple is back, which is a good thing for the Knicks.

However, for D'Antoni, Li Chen's return is more like a double-edged sword, because he still had a shortage of major generals as a shield for defeat before, but now, Li Chen's return to the team has completely deprived him of the last excuse, if he loses again, it will not be far from the day he will get out of class.

"How's Cruze, how's it going?" D'Antoni was a little worried about Li Chen's hand, after all, he hadn't played for a while, he didn't dare to put all his chips on a player who might still be looking for form, the big apple still had a chance, but he didn't have many chances himself.

Fortunately, the disciple's answer relieved the mustache, and the big apple was still as confident as ever, "Mike, don't ask me such a question, it will make me feel a feeling of not being trusted, and I hate this feeling, don't worry, my hand feels hotter than the Miami sun!" ”

After many days, the New Yorkers finally saw their strongest lineup, the combination of Chandler and David Lee had already shown a lot of strength against the Hornets, and Hughes's defense was consistently stable, although Curry hit the rookie wall, but his shooting percentage was quite guaranteed. Of course, that's not the point, because the Big Apple is back, and any problems won't be a problem!

The Bulls' roster hasn't changed much from last season, and everything remains the same except for the loss of one of the best sixth man, Ben Gordon.

The two-point guard combination of veteran captain Kirk Sinrich and new core Derrick Rose has made the Bulls' current rotation very smooth, and after Derrick Rose's offense has become stronger, Hinrich's old and strong defense has made up for the last bit of deficiency in the Bulls' guard line.

Hot-blooded center Joakim Noah is more mature after a season of training, in addition to the rebounding ability is getting stronger and stronger, Noah's interior offensive strength has also increased greatly compared to before, at the same time, Gibson's presence has also made the Bulls' interior offense more popular, compared to before, the current Bulls are much more powerful on the front line.

Luo Erdeng in the small front position is also one of Li Chen's acquaintances, and when he played against the Bulls last season, Li Chen teased this all-round warrior from Africa, especially the arrogant three-point shot at the beginning, and the fans are a little excited when they think about it now.

The jump ball ended with Chandler's victory, and the Bulls' hard injury was directly shown to the public by the boxing champion, Noah couldn't bounce, Gibson was not tall enough, and if nothing else, it was generally difficult for the Bulls to get the opening ball.

Of course, for the game, a ball possession is really not very important, just like now, what can the Knicks do when they get the ball, and it is not the Bulls who score first.

Big Apple tried to throw a shot and smashed the basket, and the Bulls, who grabbed the rebound, launched a counterattack very quickly under the guarantee of two point guards. Rose was surprisingly fast, and when facing a slim Curry, the Upper Bound Champion put his advantage to good use.

"Day!" From an angle that is invisible to the fans. Someone was depressed, "It doesn't make sense, this kind of ball should be nine out of ten, could it be that I used too much force last night to cause my body to be weak, not so much!" ”

Fortunately, the child's mother didn't know what Li Chen was thinking at the moment, otherwise, it was difficult to guarantee whether she would put an end to the opportunity to let a man climb into bed.

Hold the ball again. Li Chen still wanted to try a strong attack, and his arrogant performance twice in a row directly aroused the dissatisfaction of Luo Erdeng on the other side, and the all-round warrior spoke first.

"Although the 50+ banner is very beautiful. But you don't really think you're going to score 50 points in this game, man, it's time to wake up, this isn't Phoenix. We're not defenseless Suns either. Get you 50 points? God, unless we're all asleep! ”

I haven't seen you for a long time, Luo Er Deng's eloquence is getting longer, of course, this is not to say that he forgets the pain when he heals his scars, to be honest, the fans' 50+ is really a bit high-profile, if it is changed to 30+, Luo Er Deng may be able to bear it. But with 50 points, no matter how calm he is, he will inevitably be a little unhappy. Is your defense really that inferior?

"Absolutely not!" Luo Er Deng shook his head, he is not Li Chen, in addition to making money in the summer, he is playing, and the all-round warrior with great ambitions has formulated a very strict training plan for himself in the offseason, involving offense, defense, physical strength, tactics and so on, and he did execute according to the plan.

In the opinion of Bulls coach Negro, a young player like Rolldden who is strict with himself is very rare in today's league, and he deserves more opportunities, and in the new Bulls' play, Rolldeng does take on more tactical finisher roles.

"You're playing the trick of self-encouragement again?" After more than a month of recuperation, Li Chen's lip service has not slackened, and his long-term work with gay, bisexual, and other sharp-tongued strange people has greatly improved his ability to harm people.

"Do you think you're still a high school student? If you have a dream, you are invincible? Please, be realistic! ”

Hum! Luo Erdeng didn't care about Li Chen's words, last year's lesson made him know the difficulty of the person in front of him, and it was still a trivial matter to say that the key thing would take advantage of the distraction to launch an attack, which was a headache.

The simple-minded Luo Erdeng couldn't do the same dual-purpose as Li Chen, so he could only do his best to keep his attention on the game as much as possible.

"Not convinced?" Luo Erdeng's non-cooperation did not stop some people, and he began to preach to himself, "Let me tell you what the dream is? ”

"If I choose to attack, then I have a good chance of hitting the iron, but I believe that may not happen, so I choose to attack without hesitation, and that's the dream. Like that ball, I did hit the iron, of course, it has nothing to do with your defense, it's just that I haven't played for a long time and I'm a little rusty. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chen raised the ball very casually, "And what is the reality?" I didn't have to go inside to score the ball, just like now! "It's a lot more crisp than the first shot.

"You see, the dream fails, because we have to respect reality!" Li Chen held up a triumphant gesture, and the fans in the stadium were celebrating the first score since the return of the Big Apple, as arrogant and domineering as ever, and the Big Apple did not change at all.

Three points are valid! The referee excitedly played an effective gesture to score a goal, although he remained neutral, but Li Chen's goal seemed very exciting even to outsiders, not to mention him, the referee standing in the center of the field. In addition to appreciating all kinds of exquisite tactics, it is also a good choice to occasionally take a look at an unreasonable attack like Li Chen.

β€œSHIT!” The almighty warrior scolded secretly, although he had long been prepared that Li Chen would play a ghost trick, but when he really faced the other party, the pressure in his heart still made his reaction a little slower, some things are not just prepared to do, just as soon as it opened, Luo Erdeng took the lead in losing the momentum.

Rose singled with the ball, and Chandler's presence made Zhuanglang's painstaking individual offense come to naught, and a not-so-beautiful layup bounced off the basket without any suspense.

In the scramble with Luo Er Deng, Li Chen easily took the advantage, he bullied Luo Er Deng with his physical fitness last season, and this season is no exception, especially his own rebounding, Li Chen has no reason to make it easy.

The cat increased his speed to the extreme in one step, and Luo Erdeng did not react at all, and he ran behind his opponent without any other way than to appreciate his opponent's attack.

The reason why James's quick counterattack is terrible, in addition to his speed advantage, is more because of his unparalleled impact, the big man can't keep up, the small man can't stop, this is the tragedy of the defense.

Li Chen's counterattack did not make the Bulls much better, Rose and Hinrich's return defense could not interfere with Li Chen at all, like a jeep, the big apple brazenly drove to the opponent's inside, and behind him, Luo Er Deng was in hot pursuit.

After stepping on the free throw line, he jumped up, the big apple easily dunked the ball into the basket, and Hinrich and Rose, who followed all the way, had no choice but to give up after weighing the pros and cons, and it was just a trivial matter to be beaten into a 2+1, in case it was really worth the loss if it was hit by this beast.

In just over a minute, the Big Apple scored five points in a row, which is obviously perfect enough for the comeback battle. (To be continued......)
