Chapter 010 Amazing performance
Shortly after Li Chen left the court, taking advantage of a dead ball, the Lakers applied for a substitution. Gasol and Fisher left the court to rest at the same time, and replaced Odom and Famal. Kobe and Bynum were left with three substitutes on the court. At this time, Li Chen finally saw the legendary omnipotent Kobe as he wished.
Quickly start to break the defense and scored, and received the ball on the left side of the free throw line and turned around and made a jump shot. He stole the opponent's pass and dribbled the ball and made a one-stop layup to make a foul... In less than 4 minutes, Kobe scored 7 points in a row. On the offensive end, he seemed to be omnipotent. He scored 13 points in the first quarter and led the team to lead 14 points 33-19 to enter the second quarter.
"Oh, when will I have such offensive skills?" Li Chen sat on the bench and watched Kobe score freely under the seemingly solid defense of the Trail Blazers.
"You are also very powerful. At least your shooting accuracy is even worse than Kobe. I have been in the league for so many years and have never seen such a powerful non-draft player as you are. Moreover, this is your first game. Kobe's offensive methods are also trained in so many training and games. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make progress." As if seeing through Li Chen's thoughts, Lao Yu sincerely enlightened him.
Li Chen nodded, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Lao Yu seriously, "Derek, thank you, I will work hard. From tomorrow, I will go to the team for training 20 minutes in advance every day."
"Damn!" Lao Yu held his forehead and had never seen such shamelessness. Even 20 minutes in advance, according to Li Chen's daily routine, he would still be the last few people to join the team. Gasol, who was drinking Gatorade next to him, almost laughed when he heard this.
"Paul, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Li Chen asked strangely when he noticed Gasol's weirdness.
"It's nothing, I just think if you can 25 minutes in advance, there will be more improvements." Gasol pretended to be calm and looked like a senior who was sincerely persuading him.
"Come on, Paul, time is life for me. Getting up early means suicide. In my opinion, 20 minutes early can be considered a crime of intentional injury, and 25 minutes is first-degree murder." Love to sleep in is a common problem between Li Chen and Cruze. Now, after 1+1, this problem is obviously greater than 2.
"Ah", Gasol heard someone explain this for the first time. He was not good at speaking and chose to shut up. He was afraid that if he continued to say this, he would be charged with intentional murder by Li Chen.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Chen was still on the bench. Now the Lakers' lineup on the court is Odom, Walton, Ariza, Vujasic and Famal. Although they are purely substitute lines, the Trail Blazers still kept Roy on the court. The young man was in good physical strength. Because of the score gap, the Trail Blazers coach did not replace Roy. The two teams played happily, and the sound of dinging and striking irons kept.
Seeing all five main players of the Lakers sitting on the bench and talking and laughing, looking at his side, although Roy was on the court, the Lakers still had the advantage in the field. The combination of Odom, Walton and Famal made the Lakers' offense still smooth, and Ariza also curbed Roy's performance to a certain extent with his defense. "This year, the Lakers are even stronger. Where did that rookie come from? Such accurate shooting and passing, the Lakers have made a lot of money." McMillan thought jealously.
At this time, the Lakers' performance was also discussed in the commentary seat.
"The Lakers are much stronger this year than last year. Look at their substitutes, Odom, Walton, and Ariza. These players can start in other teams. Let's look at the rest of the bench. From the first quarter of today's game, you can see the power of this combination. It seems that this year's Western Conference champion is still the Lakers." Big Mouth said with a professional look.
"Yes, although only one new player has been added, Li's addition has made the Lakers' starting lineup offensive system more complete, a shooting guard with the strongest attack power in the league, a small forward with accurate three-pointers and can organize attacks, and an All-Star power forward with comprehensive offensive methods under the basket. Moreover, the Lakers have more than just these. Although the little Sharks are prone to impulsive, their strength is still there, and the experience of Lao Yu, the Lakers' next opponent is troubled." Smith said it very pertinently. We can find that at this time, Dasheng Sun had been ignored by these unscrupulous middle-aged people.
But to put it a little bit off topic, the recent Asian Championships' 6-goal goal efficiency is really something that I admire. I heard that Bayern is preparing to introduce the 6-goal game.
At this time, at the domestic forum, the lake girls who saw the Lakers perform well were all swaggering in the chat room.
"Ha, my lake is indeed even more powerful. Look at the new Xiaoqian, who just said that he was from the outside version of James? Damn it, can your face be compared with my little coach? How can you write about your shameless person?" The fan was very arrogant.
There were also voices of dissatisfaction, "The outside version of James really praised him. He was just a small body, and his defense was so bad, but the shooting was OK, but he played for one quarter. How powerful could he do? After playing, he would come out to compete." The fan's words were still very rational.
Of course, there are also boring fans. "The Rockets are really rubbish" is an eternal topic, but soon this boring evaluation is drowned in the scolding of the masses.
Li Chen finally got his second appearance. Just 6 minutes later, the old monk replaced Li Chen on the court. At this time, the Lakers still had a 17-point lead. The substitutes played well. The score of 44-27 made the Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV with a bitter face.
The Lakers, who have replaced all the main players, launched an attack according to the scheduled plan. The old monk hopes to defeat the Trail Blazers in the first half.
Kobe missed the shot and was snatched the offensive rebound by Bynum and threw the ball to Li Chen. The latter faced Batum, who was standing far away from him. What was this for? I know you are a substitute, but you don’t have to show it so obviously. Is my breakthrough more intimidating than shooting?
Although it was full of doubts, Li Chen still shot the ball. "Swish", and it would be a sin to not make an open three-pointer.
"Haha, he is testing Li's three-point accuracy. I think he will definitely not fall in love with youtobe. I guess this kid has to go back to the bench to calculate his playing time."
Barkley said gloatingly, not caring about the feelings of the parties involved, and I really don't know how this guy was named the most popular commentator among players.
Sure enough, McMillan quickly replaced Batum. He wanted to save a little difference when the Lakers' main player had just returned to the court. Now, he gave out three points for free.
In the following time, Li Chen continued his excellent performance, giving away three assists. Once gave Bynum, An Zhu felt that the offensive rebound was not in vain. One rebound was replaced by one assist and one assist, making a profit. The other two assists Kobe made a jump shot from the free throw line, one assisted Lao Yu's top three-pointer, and three assists in the first quarter, everyone in the Lakers' main players had a share.
In addition to assists, Li Chen also got two mobile phone calls in the remaining second quarter, hitting one two points and the other three-pointer was interfered by Otero's defense. In the whole first half, Li Chen scored 13 points, 6 assists and 1 rebound, and the Lakers also came to the second half with a nearly 20-point advantage of 61-43.
The Lakers performed the best on the Lakers. The data of 18 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds made people see his comprehensiveness. Roy on the Trail Blazers has always insisted on using Li Chen to prevent him, and even scored higher than Kobe. 21 points and 2 assists. While showing his strong attack power, he also told Volkswagen that although Li Chen's offense is good, his defense is worrying.
Barkley even commented self-righteously that this was the old monk's tactical mistake. In his opinion, Kobe should be used to defend Roy, a big killer weapon. But everyone in the Lakers knew that the old monk wanted to test Li Chen's defense through Roy, hoping to use this to drive Li Chen's enthusiasm for training. After all, he is the one who is the most lazy person in the team.
"How is it, Lao Bird, is my performance better than that No. 1 rookie?" Li Chen was a little proud.
Kobe said disdainfully, "Shit, look at your defense. Roy scored 21 points on your head. Not to mention anything else, the defense of the No. 1 pick is definitely better than you." Looking at Li Chen's face that instantly became depressed, Kobe said funny, "But your offense is good, especially the passing, which is definitely better than him. As far as I know, although he plays point guard, he is more like Iverson. To be honest, I'm a little unconfident about our bet."
"Haha, wait and lose, old bird." Li Chen said with a smile, then turned to discuss with Bynum how to have a more handsome alibi. Because the team led the score in the first game, the Lakers' locker room was very harmonious. The substitutes were very happy, because if they entered garbage time early, they would have more time to play.
Soon, the rest time passed, and the second half began, both teams sent out the same starting lineup as the first quarter. But unlike the first quarter, the Lakers began to relax due to the big score lead, while the Trail Blazers were united to catch up because of their backwardness.
Roy, who performed well in the first half, was not the one who led the scoring trend. Li Chen, who had some experience, improved his defensive effect. In Roy's opinion, attacking Li Chen was not a good choice, and that would consume more energy. The Lakers could afford to consume the deep bench, but the Trail Blazers were not able to do it.
At the critical moment, Aldridge stood up and made consecutive mid-range shots. Bayless, who also assisted the outside, made a three-pointer. Oden also seized the opportunity to make a dunk in the inside. The Trail Blazers scored a 9-0 climax, and the score difference was instantly narrowed to 8 points.
This is the NBA game. It is very likely that if you relax for a while, the opponent will quickly pursue it with several offenses. NBA history has never lacked a good show of big score reversals, but today's Lakers are obviously unwilling to fulfill the dream of the Trail Blazers.
Lao Yu dribbled the ball across the half-court. He was experienced and knew that he had to control the rhythm at this time. As long as he started a positional battle, with the strength of the Lakers, it was a dream for the Blazers to reverse.
Suddenly, Lao Yu saw a figure and felt that he had the chance and stuffed the ball over. Li Chen, who received the ball, did not stop. He didn't even look at it, and threw the ball towards the rebound without looking at it. Just when others were wondering whether he was shooting or passing the ball, a "boom" sound, Bynum's dunk dispelled people's doubts.
No. 1 pick Oden became his background at this moment, and the audience began to cheer.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Have you seen Li look at people? I saw him get a pass from Fisher and throw the ball away. I thought he was hooking the ball and shooting, but I didn't expect it was a pass. Oh, it's so beautiful. This will definitely be the best five goals today." Barkley opened his mouth wide and was shocked by the tacit cooperation between Li Chen and Bynum.
There was also a noise on the Lakers' bench. Vujasic, Odom and others stood up and waved their arms vigorously. Even the old monk thought the offensive cooperation was wonderful. He had never taught the two of them.
Because of Li Chen's outstanding performance, Emmy and Julie hugged each other happily, and the enthusiastic Julie even stood up from the bench and screamed loudly.
The ball was constantly replaying on the screen on the scene. Slow motion showed that Li Chen did not turn around to observe the situation there after receiving the ball. It seemed that he already knew Bynum's position. The ball was accurately stuffed over Bynum, so fast that even other players didn't react.
Bynum gave Li Chen a big hug. In fact, the two had just agreed to a small cooperation in midfield time. He asked Bynum to pay attention that as long as he got the ball at the free throw line, he would be ready to jump into the air to catch it. Li Chen made Bynum believe in his pass, and the doubtful Bynum was still prepared when Li Chen received the ball out of trust in his teammates. Therefore, a cooperation of the five best ball level was natural.
The Lakers' passion was completely ignited after Bynum's violent dunk. Since then, the Lakers have made consecutive attacks. With Kobe's breakthrough, Li Chen has consecutive attack opportunities. He seized the opportunity and did not disappoint the boss. He made two shots and scored 5 points.
Gasol also played Aldridge singles at the basket and avenged the revenge of the past. However, Bynum seemed to be mediocre after the dunk just now, and did his best to defend the rebounds with decisive work.
In the second half of the third quarter, Kobe, who felt hot, started the singles mode, but the Trail Blazers did not dare to double-team. The lessons from the previous few times had already told them that Li Chen's shooting was an alien, stable and terrible. Kobe played extremely easily, with just one move, singles on his back and jump shot, but the Trail Blazers just couldn't defend it, so they could only watch Kobe score points. Even after 7 minutes of the third quarter, Walton replaced Li Chen, the Lakers still gradually opened up the score gap with smooth offense.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers already had a huge advantage of 19 points. In this quarter, Li Chen scored 5 points and 2 assists. In addition to shooting, he also made a foul through a breakthrough layup. However, it was precisely because of this foul that Li Chen's weirdness was completely displayed in front of the public.
Barkley spared no effort to mock Li Chen's bad free throws, "Wow, let's look at Li's data, making 7 of 8 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and making all two free throws, but he was afraid of free throws."
Indeed, even Phil Jackson was speechless. He knew Li Chen's usual shooting, and his accuracy was speechless. But as soon as he hit the free throw line, the gap was obvious. "Can he shake his hand when he stood on the free throw line?" The old monk couldn't think of any other reason.
Li Chen was also helpless. He knew that everything was caused by data. "I must practice free throws after I go back. It's so embarrassing. Maybe if anyone gives me a tactic of killing Li in the future, I will be completely tragic."
