The Third Overtime (2)

In the TNT broadcast room.

I have to admire Chen's spirit of always shooting the basketball, no matter the situation.

Although the chances of making that shot are almost zero.

Just then, Kenny Smith retorted, "No, no, no! Charles, look."

The basketball flew high over the backboard, then bounced off the rim, bounced twice, and finally fell into the Nets.

103 to 103.

"Fuck, how did that even get in?" Barkley was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the fans in the Aviation Center Stadium were also stunned.

At that moment, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted throughout the stadium.

This shot left Mavericks fans completely dumbfounded.

Even the whistle in my mouth involuntarily fell out.

Barkley stared in disbelief. "This lucky little monster!"

"Kenny!"

"What?" Kenny Smith looked at Barkley, puzzled.

"Quick, give me God's phone number. I want to call Him and beg Him to take his illegitimate child away! Humanity doesn't need His illegitimate child."

Kenny Smith burst out laughing.

At the same time, Li Chen, who had crashed into the crowd, clenched his fist tightly. He had just wanted to try it out, and he hadn't expected to actually succeed.

The passive effect of the Miracle Shot was indeed triggered.

"Fuck, you bastard, get up or you'll crush me!" a young white man said weakly.

Only then did Li Chen realize what had happened. After apologizing, he was helped up by his teammates who rushed over.

"Fuck, Chen, you even made that shot? You're amazing!" Odom looked at Li Chen with admiration.

The same applies to other players.

"Chen, you managed to make a shot that's impossible to make. Are you even human?"

"Definitely not, hahaha!"

"Damn it, you guys are inhuman!" Li Chen cursed his unscrupulous teammates.

The atmosphere within the Clippers immediately relaxed.

After five minutes, the Clippers and Mavericks were tied 111-111, with the score tied again.

A short while later, the second overtime period officially began.

In the intense game between the Clippers and the Mavericks, an unbelievable scene unfolded again as the second overtime began – the score was tied again at 19-19.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"Unbelievable, the two sides are tied again. This is truly an intense match," Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, Charles, the entire overtime game was tense and exciting. At this crucial moment, Li Chen and Nowitzki showed amazing decisiveness and composure. They truly deserve to be the core players."

At this point, Kenny Smith continued, "As the core of the Clippers, Li Chen has always won the praise of fans with his outstanding basketball talent."

He demonstrated accurate and consistent shooting percentages in both three-pointers and mid-range shots.

At this crucial moment, he not only played the role of a scorer but also demonstrated excellent playmaking ability.

His breakthroughs and passes always turn into assists, which is truly amazing.

Every choice he made was carefully considered, wise, and decisive.

His decision became a guiding light for the team, leading the entire Clippers forward.

He truly deserves to be the captain of this Clippers.

At this point, Barkley also chimed in, saying, "Nowitzki, as the Mavericks' core player, also demonstrated his exceptional abilities in this game."

His consistency and versatility have always been one of the Mavericks' strongest pillars.

Nowitzki's constantly honed skills enable him to step up in crucial moments and drive the team forward with outstanding performances.

Whether it's shooting or rebounding, he demonstrates exceptional ability and the level of a top superstar. Moreover, the signature Golden Rooster Independence he learned from Li Chen makes him virtually undefendable, a nightmare for opponents.

Finally, Barkley added insult to Li Chen, saying, "You could say that Li Chen has created a formidable opponent for himself."

Kenny Smith thought to himself, "Charles's mouth is still so sharp!"

He then added, "That's not entirely true; not being afraid of your opponent is also a sign of confidence."

At that moment, Barkley thought of something and asked expectantly, "Kenny, do you think the Clippers vs. Mavericks game will have a fourth overtime?"

"Well... probably not." Kenny Smith thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Oh? How so?"

After carefully considering his words, Kenny Smith said, "You could see from the two overtime periods that they were giving it their all to win."

"So what?"

"Therefore, both teams are extremely exhausted, and a winner will definitely be decided in the third overtime."

Barkley gave a thumbs up. "Excellent analysis."

In the Clippers' rest area, Li Chen's chest heaved as he gasped for breath. Throughout both overtime periods, he had been using his drives to draw the Mavericks' defense.

On the defensive end, he consistently focused on the Mavericks' main scorers, putting in his all on both ends of the court. He couldn't keep up; he was simply exhausted.

Seeing this, Alvin Gentry felt very sorry for the Clippers; they couldn't function without Li Chen!

So he said, "Chen, you'll be in charge of the offense in the third overtime. You don't need to specifically cover for defense."

Li Chen nodded, not refusing. His physical strength was no longer sufficient to support him taking on so much.

The other players were not as physically fit as Li Chen, and they were more tired than Li Chen, making Li Chen the most relaxed one.

Seeing this, Alvin Gentry considered substituting two key players, but was also worried. In the end, he decided not to substitute Elton Brand and others for the sake of victory.

As for Li Chen? He absolutely dared not be substituted off the court. He was certain that if Li Chen were to leave the court for even a minute, the Clippers' score would be widened.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks players weren't much better off than the Clippers; they were also tired.

However, the Mavericks' roster is incomparable to the Clippers', and they have room for rotation.

But Nelson didn't dare to substitute Nowitzki.

Because Li Chen is practically a hungry wolf; the moment the Mavericks show even the slightest weakness, he pounces and tears them apart.

Thinking of this, Coach Nelson rubbed his temples, thinking to himself, "This kid is a real little devil."

The third overtime period has begun.

In the first minute, neither team scored a single point.

Clearly, due to excessive physical exertion, both teams' shooting percentages dropped sharply.

The Clippers are on offense.

As soon as Li Chen received the ball, the Mavericks players rushed over and double-teamed Li Chen.

Li Chen stepped back a few paces beyond the three-point line, then suddenly accelerated, forcefully breaking through the double-team like a leopard.

"Fuck, shouldn't he be exhausted? Why does he still need such explosive power?" Barkley complained.

Kenny Smith thought for a moment and said, "No! He's tired. Look at Li Chen's footwork after the layup."

In slow motion, the scene of Li Chen staggering to his ground was clearly visible.

At this point, Kenny Smith continued, "Perhaps that's what makes them so terrifying. Their willpower far surpasses that of others. Like that time with Jordan, he needed Pippen to help him off the court, but during the game, who could tell that Jordan was playing while sick?"

"What a bunch of perverts," Barkley muttered.
