"Coach, there's something I want to discuss with you?" Li Chen had a smile on his face, and he could see that he was asking for something.

The time has come to the middle of December, and the NBA has arranged 5 games today, one of which is Li Chen's Lakers sitting at the Staples Center to face the Memphis Grizzlies from afar.

Before the game, people also expressed great interest in this game, and if nothing else, the presence of OJ Mayo on the Grizzlies team made the ratings for this game guaranteed.

0J Mayo, who was rated as another basketball genius after James by the American media and predicted by many experts to be the top pick in the 08 draft, has also played really well this season. If it weren't for the fact that Li Chenheng was born in front of him, then Mayo would definitely be like Rose to become the rookie of the month without suspense, averaging 17.4 points, 2.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game this season, so that he can have enough confidence in the face of Rose.

The only disadvantage is that there are a lot of mistakes, but many mistakes have always been a common problem for rookies, including Rose, who has also made a lot of mistakes per game this season, except for Li Chen, of course, this guy's assist-to-turnover ratio is the highest in the league. Given OJ Mayo's excellent performances this season, many insiders also see him as a strong candidate to compete for Rookie of the Season.

Also eyed by the media is the point guard Westbrook, who belongs to the Oklama Thunder, although he is a bit of a misshooter, but his average of 14.8 points, 5.2 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game is also excellent. With the addition of the first three, these four are rated by the media as the four little swans of this season's rookies, and people feel that the best rookie will definitely be selected from these four.

Unlike the other three, Li Chen is an undrafted player, and he joins the Los Angeles Lakers, a strong old giant team of the defending champions in the West. The other three players from orthodox backgrounds belong to youth team-type teams, especially Westbrook's Thunder, even the name and arena have just changed, you say how new they are.

Compared with the high-quality outside line among the rookies, there are not many rookies on the inside line this year, in fact, in recent years, the NBA has not produced good inside seedlings, and the scarcity of big men has become a common problem for all teams.

The repeated injuries of the last Oden the Great since the beginning of the season have disappointed the Portlanders day by day, and people regret how they took the precious champion to pick such a thing, not Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, the No. 5 pick of the Timberwolves this year, although others are not very good, but at least people have an average of close to two doubles per game.

Eros hasn't gotten rid of the reputation of a data brush yet, but his strength is indeed not to be underestimated, at least it looks better than the current champion, but because of the strong contrast between the team's record and personal data, there are still not many calls for Kevin Love to be the best rookie.

Coming back to today's game, the Grizzlies' strength this year is honestly good. Gasol Jr. has been dumped by the Lakers to the Grizzlies, and the shame of being a trade addition has made his talent immediately apparent, and the data of 11 points and 8 rebounds per game so far proves that his huge potential is very high, and it is likely that the Lakers' interior talent is too piled up to give Gamu Jr. a chance to show his talent, but fortunately, now he has found the best fit for him.

On the outside, Rudy Gay was the Grizzlies' leading scorer last season, and his stats have entered the ranks of the league's top swingmen, but he has yet to learn how to make his teammates better and how to lead the team to victory.

O.J. Mayo is regarded as a savior by the Grizzlies, and in terms of personality and style, he is actually more suitable to be the team boss than Guy. Since McConley left Oden, he has shown great talent in organizing the team and has grown quickly without the pressure of results. The strong outside line composed of three high-quality Zhengtai makes people sigh at the youth and vitality of this team.

As can be seen from the lineups of both sides, this is another game of talent, but there was a small change in the Lakers' locker room before the game.

"Coach, can I just play the first half?" Li Chen looked at the old monk with a flattering face, hoping that the coach would be kind enough to let him leave.

"No, it's a serious violation of the team's rules, and players are not allowed to leave the field without reason." As a coach, the old monk will never allow anyone to do anything that violates the rules of the team, not to mention that if Li Chen leaves the game halfway and the Lakers lose at the same time, his work ethic is likely to become a criticism of him.

"Well, coach, I have a reason," Li Chen hurriedly explained, "I promised my fiancée before that I was going to attend their school's fashion show today, this is a great opportunity for her, and I don't want to disappoint him." What's more, this is what I promised before I joined the Lakers, but I didn't expect it to conflict with the schedule. So I hope you understand, coach! ”

Because considering that his girlfriend is not enough, Li Chen took it upon himself to raise Amy's relationship with him to a higher level.

Sure enough, the old monk fell into thinking after listening to Li Chen's words, the kind old man couldn't imagine that the disciple's words were full of lies, and it was also possible that Li Chen, who had a cute face, made the old monk believe in this guy's character.

From the other party's words, the old monk could see that this fashion show was very important to Li Chen, and it was also about his fiancée, so he didn't want to play the role of this villain. After thinking about it for a long time, the old monk took a step back and spoke slowly.

"Well, if the team leads by 20 points in the first half, I'll agree to your request, and that's the biggest concession I can make, for the sake of what you agreed before."

"Huh? 20 points! Li Chen was frightened, "Coach, could this be a little too much?" 'Leading by 20 points at halftime was a bit difficult for him.

"Can't do it? Then there's nothing I can do about it." The old monk was expressionless, and it was true that as the coach of the team, he had to think more about the feelings of the fans, the media and the other players in the team. Li Chen's request was already out of line, unless the team's victory could be ensured, it was impossible for the old monk to let the players break the rules.

"Okay, 20 points is 20 points." From the expression of the old monk, it can be seen that he will not make any more concessions, Li Chen reluctantly accepted the request, at least this can still maintain a glimmer of hope, if he really plays well, it is not too difficult to lead by 20 points at halftime.

"It's really not okay to run away at half-time, the penalty is suspended." He had made up his mind to play only half the game.

Of course, if you can not violate the rules, you will be happy, Li Chen finally got the assurance of the Lakers generals after agreeing to the various requests of his teammates, for the happiness of his teammates, all the Lakers soldiers decided to fight quickly, and strive to solve the battle in the first half.

"Nima, a week's delivery service plus 1 hour early every day, and at the same time, I have to work hard and organize a party for the team for free, which makes people not live."

Although the teammates relied on this opportunity to slaughter Li Chen, fortunately, they were also guaranteed by everyone.

"For the Cruze, 20 points! go！ This is the slogan that the Lakers shouted before the game, and it can be seen that they have enough confidence in it.

The old monk surprisingly did not disagree with the player's strange slogan, although it was a bit inappropriate, but he felt that it would also help to improve the cohesion of the team.

"Maybe they can do it!" The old monk is looking forward to the players' performance.

United, Bynum jumped the ball to win, dialed the ball to the old fish, and the Lakers instantly launched an offensive.

Kobe Bryant broke through the ball, and the basketball came to Li Chen's hands, but then he handed the ball to Gasol on the inside, Gasol showed no mercy in the face of his younger brother, turned around and hit a hook hand. The Lakers' first offense used a fluid team to tell the young Grizzlies that basketball is five!

The Lakers' strong strength did not have much impact on the Grizzlies, because without the pressure of the record, the youth army played exceptionally relaxed, and no one would blame them for losing against the Lakers anyway.

Guy tried to break through, the basketball smashed the basket and popped up under Li Chen's interference, and Xiao Jia fought bravely to grab the rebound in the front court. may be due to the resentment of being abandoned by the Lakers, and Xiao Jia's fighting spirit is particularly strong in this game. In the face of the long-established big brother, Xiaojia was not afraid at all, stubbornly put the ball in the basket, and scored two points for the Grizzlies in the opening game.

"It's a bit hard to chew!" Seeing Xiao Jia's performance, Li Chen felt that this game would not be easy, after all, he only had half time and it was impossible for him to accompany the team to play the whole game with the Grizzlies here.

The will of the grizzly bear must be broken as soon as possible! Li Chen made a decision.

What is the most offensive defensive player on the basketball court? Slam dunk? 2+1？ None of them are right! Li Chen used 1 3+1 to tell Rudy Guy, who was defending him, if you are not decisive enough to foul, then please give up!

Maybe the free throws aren't as good as most people in the league, but shooting, how can you possibly win me? Li Chen has always been convinced of this.

In an offensive just now, Gasol picked up the offensive rebound and immediately handed the ball to Li Chen outside the three-point line, and in the face of Rudy Gay's defense, he didn't hesitate to pull up and shoot, completely ignoring the defender in front of him as nothing.

Guy who was entangled in whether to foul or not chose to foul after considering the coach's pre-game arrangement, and the confidence on Li Chen's face told Guy that if the ball was not fouled, there was a chance that it would be scored.

The basketball court will not leave you enough time to think about it, and it is because of that moment of time that Guy directly caused Guy's hand that wanted to grab Li Chen's arm to turn into a tug on the other party's cuff.

Although he was dragged downward, because of the material of the clothes, there was a certain cushion between them, Li Chen finally threw the ball in a relatively stable position, and then fell to the floor without discipline, fortunately, he had already made a protective action before.

Goal in, penalty added! The referee insisted on the penalty for this foul that could be judged or not, because of David Stern's explanation, Li Chen now has a certain qualification for the star whistle, so the referee gave the big apple a free throw very lovingly.

Luckily, although he only had a 50 percent shooting rate, the ball was still scored, and with four points in one attack, Li Chen was one step closer to his goal.

And Guy was uncomfortable, he knew he wouldn't foul, and gave away a free throw on the opposite side for nothing, Guy's lost expression was completely projected on the big screen, and even the unbearable gay on the jersey made people feel so lonely.

The first 3+1 since entering the NBA was born, but the person concerned was not very excited, he had a more important goal in this game, leading by 20 points at halftime, and now there is still a big gap from this goal, and he needs to continue to work hard.

Guy, as the current boss of the Grizzlies, of course he has to get back on the field after being slapped in the face. Stretched out his hand to signal McConley to hand the ball to him, Conley naturally would not refuse the request of the team boss, and honestly handed the ball to Guy, the rest of the Grizzlies pulled away to create space for him, and Guy was determined to leave a lesson for Li Chen.

Before the game, Guy knew that Li Chen was not good at changing direction defensively, so he swaggered two crotch dribbles in front of the latter, which made Li Chen, who was on the defensive side, inevitably feel a little nervous. But at the same time, he also had some disdain in his heart.

"What's so arrogant, it's like you're the only one who can dribble the ball under your crotch, not to mention Anthony, even Roy, who is good at changing directions, has defended it, and you're still afraid of you, a little miscellaneous fish?"

This guy deliberately ignored the truth and only defended it, not defended successfully, and the pain of being cut by Anthony for 41 points seemed to have been lost to him long ago.

Guy began to accelerate, Li Chen instantly followed, he was not much worse than Guy in speed, it was not difficult to keep up, but he also knew that this was just a pre-dinner dish, Guy would definitely be the change of direction that he would not be able to defend the most, Li Chen waited with bated breath for Guy's next move.

Sure enough, Guy didn't make a move that Li Chen expected, he simply dribbled and changed direction, and Li Chen easily blocked Guy's route with one step of sideways. Although he prevented the first step, he didn't think that Guy, the boss of the grizzly bear, was so capable, and if that was the case, the grizzly bear would have no hope.

Of course, things won't end like this, Guy then dribbled under his crotch and handed the ball back to his right hand, adjusting his center of gravity, he was ready to cut into the inside line from Li Chen's right, in his opinion, the opponent had completely lost his defensive position.

Indeed, with the current defensive strength, it is really difficult for Li Chen to defend the continuous change of direction, especially since the opponent's speed is still very fast. But through the lessons learned over the years, Li Chen still has a certain trick.

Although the body reaction can't keep up, but the hand can keep up, just as Guy rushed past him with the ball, his left hand gently poked forward, and the unsuspecting Guy didn't expect Li Chen's action at all, and the person passed, but the ball was lost, and the latter made a very clean and beautiful steal.

In fact, to be honest, the main reason why Li Chen can break the ball is because Guy's ball control can only be regarded as average, or below the average level. His skills such as cross-dribbling, disguised speed change and turning are far from mature, and there are many mistakes.

Guy's offense mainly relies on the first step to pass and the jump shot, if he forcibly passes with speed, Li Chen may not be able to prevent him.

Facing the ownerless basketball, Li Chen naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and picked up the ball and passed it to Kobe, who was already running towards the opponent's half.

Rumble! A strong dunk from the boss instantly knocked out the momentum of the Lakers!

(S3 World Finals Royalty 0:3, so miserable!! Say goodbye to lol for a few months and find that the world is changing so fast, we? )
