8 of 11 shots, 70 percent shooting rate, this is Li Chen's performance in the first half, including 4 of 5 three-point shots, 4 of 6 two-point shots, and 3 of 6 free throws, a total of 23 points.

"Lee, 23 points and 3 assists, you can't let people live with this kind of data!" Bynum's stats made Bynum very envious, "How many points are you going to score today?" 30, 40 or 50? God, I only got 6 points, it's not fair! ”

Li Chen is in a good mood, in his opinion, if nothing else, then the Lakers should be able to win this game steadily, and this time it can be regarded as a perfect ending to the three games, of course, it is even better if the team can win and get a good statistic.

"Who knows, today's feel is a little abnormal, I have to cherish this hard-won opportunity and brush up on more points!"

Odom put his arm around Li Chen's shoulder, "Cruz, don't care about us, as long as you can throw, feel free to shoot, it's best to brush your average points per game this season to more than 20, then your data will become 20+5+5, this is the data that Jordan and James got in their rookie season!" ”

"yes, rookie!" Kobe Bryant also came over, "If you can score as many points as possible, those supporters of James keep talking about this, I don't like it for a long time, my rookie season is long gone, unlike you who still have a chance, kill their arrogance!" ”

When it comes to James, the Lakers players share the same hatred, although Li Chen will share some opportunities to shoot if he scores more, but they are more willing to see James's record broken, they take a few fewer shots is only temporary, and the little emperor's depression must be permanent, and the Purple and Gold, who have always looked at No. 23 unpleasantly, are very supportive of Odom's proposal.

"But you've got to dinner, don't you?" Gasol gave his teammates a condition, these games because of Li Chen's role change, the cooperation between the two of them is closer than before, many of the big Apple's assists are given to Gasol, and in the past, these are basically Kobe's treatment.

"No problem," Li Chen did not refuse, considering that the season is coming to an end, he also feels that it is necessary for everyone to have a party, exchanging feelings is secondary, the key is to use the atmosphere of the party to enhance everyone's confidence in the playoffs, of course, it is better to help yourself celebrate your birthday by the way.

"I've checked the schedule, and it's my birthday or my bar on the day of our last regular season game, so how about a birthday party?"

"Are you sure it's not a playoff ramp?" Bynum looked at Li Chen very suspiciously, and put the party at the end of the last regular season, and anyone else would doubt Li Chen's motives.

"Get out, that's a real party!" Bynum's slander made Li Chen very contemptuous, "Does the Purple Gold Army also need to be mobilized?" Know that we are always ready! Right, Kobe? ”

Li Chen's good sales made the boss very comfortable, "Yes, the championship is our goal all along, we don't need a mobilization meeting, that's what the weak do!" ”

The discussion among the team members attracted the old monk, "Although it is good to have confidence, but gentlemen, I want to remind you that this game is not over yet!" The Zen master looked helpless, he knew that such a guy could not get rid of his arrogance.

"So, those who should be on the field are ready to play", speaking of this, the old monk suddenly changed his face to the deceit, "As for the nothing, then you can think about Cruz's birthday dinner, if you have any wishes, I believe that Cruze will not refuse!" Isn't it, little one? ”

The ** of the coach's expression made Li Chen speechless, things gather by like, people by groups, sure enough, there is no honest person in the Lakers team.

Although in the eyes of most people, the second half of the game is meaningless, but for the Timberwolves, they still have to continue to fight, although they will lose, but playing against a strong team like the Lakers is also a good experience, it doesn't matter how much you lose, the key is to be able to find out where the gap between yourself and the league's top teams is, which is the most important thing.

With the encouragement of coach Wittman, the Wolves players took to the field with a fearless spirit of sacrificing their lives. Of course, Dayi Ling Ran is just hanging on his face, in fact, all these guys are thinking about is how to brush the data, for a game with no hope of reversal, brushing the data is the top priority.

As the core of the team, Al Jefferson, who has the right to fire, first started his personal career, turned around and shook directly after the ball was on the inside, and while Bynum's center of gravity had not been adjusted back, the new wolf king gently threw the ball, but unfortunately, it didn't go in, Jefferson's shot was a little strong, and the ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out.

Gasol grabbed the rebound, and thinking of the agreement that everyone had just made in the locker room, he handed the ball to Li Chen very cooperatively.

After receiving the ball, Big Apple quickly ran towards the opponent's half, and Gomez, who followed the defense, was firmly attached to his side like a dogskin plaster, and Gomez preferred positional battles to this high-speed offensive and defensive transition. It's just that the offensive power is not in his hands, and he can only think about positional warfare.

Sudden stop, Li Chen suddenly stopped before the three-point line, the greater the mass, the greater the habitual law of physics in Gomez's body, the relatively large weight of him was a little tangled in the face of the opponent's emergency stop, he ran over.

"The Big Apple has made a move, and Gomez has been teased by him again!" Barkley explained with a wicked smile, but the next moment he couldn't laugh, "Hey, Lee didn't score, this kind of ball didn't score, it's incredible!" ”

Miller glanced at Barkley, "What's so unbelievable about this, Lee can't score every goal." ”

Barkley looked at Li Chen on the court with resentment, and the performance of the big apple failed to live up to his expectations, "Alas, although I also know, I thought that with Lee's hand today, this ball should not be difficult." ”

Li Chen's expression was also a little stunned, he actually struck iron, the planned attack hit the iron at the last moment, and the unexpected result made him a little depressed. Acceleration, emergency stops, shots, all this is in his conception, even Gomez's expression did not exceed his expectations, but the ball did not go in, and the previous action was meaningless, no matter how beautiful it was.

"Obviously, the feel of the Big Apple has dropped!" Kenny Smith gave the answer, "You have to know that he already scored 23 points in the first half, which is higher than his average points per game this season, and the decline in hand is inevitable. ”

Did Li Chen's hand really drop, and people speculated about the answer. But soon, the Big Apple gave the answer with his goal, and it was really just an accident just now, and his hand was still hot.

A half-hook throw near the free throw line is a bully for Gomez, who is only 2 meters tall and can't get in the way of the basketball even if he jumps hard. Swish! Another two.

Miller looked at the tangled Wolves manager, "Actually, I wanted to say to Randy for a long time, it's really not a wise choice to use Gomez to defend Lee, let him go." Give Brewer a chance, although he is inexperienced, but his height and arm span are better than Gomez! ”

Kenny strongly agrees with his partner's point of view, "It's true that Gomez's defense was very awkward in this game, he couldn't interfere with Lee's shooting or limit his passing, and the card position was good, but everyone knows that Lee doesn't score by rushing to the basket, I just hope Randy will hear our advice!" ”

Maybe it was really to hear the words of the commentator, Wolves manager Weitman finally lost his patience shortly after, Gomez's clumsy defense once again broke the coach's heart, Li Chen only used a step back to break it, it is obvious that this is not a technical problem, it can be seen that Gomez has given up defense.

Wittman signaled for a substitution, and he decided to give Brewer a chance, and if the guy was doing well, then Wittman didn't mind changing the team's starting lineup. Anyway, for a weak team, any drastic changes are acceptable, and a simple sentence of "we are looking for the most suitable lineup" can eliminate all problems.

With the coach's expectations, Brewer walked onto the field with trepidation. This season he has been playing as the team's No. 3 main substitute, although he has coveted the starting position for a long time, but Gomez's strength is indeed better than him, and Brewer's starting plan is weak.

But this time, he felt that his chance had come, and as long as he could limit Gomez's unstoppable Big Apple, I believe Wittman would definitely be more than happy to give him a chance to start.

"Hey, man, you have to thank me, if I hadn't knocked down your competitors, you might still be on the bench guarding the water cooler!" Brewer's nervous expression made Li Chen feel a little funny, and he still remembered his rookie identity, "It's okay, I'm just a first-year student, you don't have to be so nervous at all!" ”

"Lee, ball!" Fisher didn't know what was going on here, and he handed the ball to Li Chen as before.

Rise! Brewer moved at this moment, and Li Chen's carelessness allowed him to find an opportunity. Brewer suddenly walked in front of the opponent, and at the same time stuck the opponent with his elbow, Li Chen flashed left and right and was stunned but couldn't send it, and the basketball had arrived.

Brewer didn't take credit for the break, and he handed the ball to Randy Foye, the team's best ball handler, who then set up Jefferson's mid-range shot.

"Rookie, you're right, you're really just a first-grader, that's all!" Brewer, who has made contributions, is in a good mood, especially when he sees the coach's approving eyes, he is even more proud, thinking of Li Chen's provocation just now, Brewer is not polite at all.

Li Chen smiled slightly, he was careless about the ball just now, if he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke the opponent and cause distraction, Brewer would not have had the opportunity to go around the front defense. But since he has made a mistake, it is useless to regret it, but Brewer's words made him feel a little funny, just a steal, as for being so excited!

He can't understand the thoughts of a low-level player like Brewer, who can be selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, but he doesn't have to understand, the league has never stipulated that star players must understand blue-collar players, strength is the most important, and Li Chen believes that if the two change positions, Brewer's attitude will definitely be more arrogant than himself.

Black Americans have the blood of the strong in the African continent, especially most of the black players in the N**A have not received higher education, in their opinion, the so-called university is just the only way to enter the N**A, and it is basically unrealistic to expect them to respect and understand the weak.

Big Apple told Brewer with his next performance, although he is a rookie, it doesn't mean that he can be taught a lesson, and if you want to play the score, you must first estimate your strength.

Without the slightest technique, Li Chen directly carried Brewer and squeezed in, there is no point in this move, as long as the strength is enough, it is absolutely not good to squeeze hard in the face of Gomez, he is short and strong, but Brewer is different, Li Chen moved in very easily.

Subsequently, feeling that he was in a similar position, he was hit hard, and his strength was not as strong as Brewer inevitably retreated, and this is how the opportunity came out, and Li Chen turned over and was a jump shot.

"Wow, that's amazing, it's one of the most beautiful goals of the game." Barkley marveled as best he could, and in his opinion the Big Apple was a tribute to him.

"I still remember that Lee was scored a lot of goals by Anthony in this way, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, Lee could use this way to cut points on other people's heads, which is really incredible."

Miller was also dumbfounded by Li Chen's offensive choice, "Although I think it's strange how I look at it, I have to admit that if Li keeps using this move, Brewer will be very sad!" ”

It turns out that if you don't have a certain strength, it's not a good choice to provoke the Big Apple, and this guy is never a good bully.

Facing Brewer, who was playing in front of him, Li Chen scored 7 goals on his head in exactly the same way throughout the second half, and only paid 10 shots plus one turnover.

"Yes, I'm just a rookie, that's all!" Looking at Brewer, who was wide-eyed, Li Chen smiled arrogantly.

With 41 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds, Li Chen did not disappoint his teammates and set a new personal scoring record while leading the team to victory, which was another unusual night.

Perhaps he should have thanked Brewer, but if it weren't for his opponent's provocation, he might never have known how easy it would have been to convert his physical advantage into scoring. (To be continued.) )
