The Western Conference Finals Were Tied 2-2

After a moment's consideration, Zhang Weiping said, "In my opinion, the Spurs have no other choice but to compete with the Clippers on offense."

Sun Zhengping nodded in agreement, remarking, "Unless Chen's shooting percentage drops, the Spurs really can only compete with the Clippers on offense."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the second half of the game begins.

The Clippers' offense was still quite effective at the start of the third quarter, but later Popovich surprisingly stopped using double-teaming tactics and instead used Bowen to guard Li Chen one-on-one.

At the same time, they began to guard the other Clippers players closely.

This caused the Clippers' scoring speed to drop drastically.

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Alvin Gentry immediately called a timeout.

In the Spurs' bench, Popovich smiled confidently, feeling smug. He had already sensed Li Chen's concerns from Li Chen's consecutive Pull-up Jumper.

He was afraid that his stamina wouldn't last until the end of the game, which is why he didn't keep taking Pull-up Jumper.

Although he didn't quite understand why Li Chen had such concerns, that wasn't important. What mattered was that he could use this to his advantage and continuously deplete Li Chen's stamina.

At the same time, Li Chen once again felt Popovich's terror. Although he didn't know he had a system, he could still guess at his worries.

Li Chen grinned, "Let's see who laughs last."

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you smiling so wickedly?" Odom muttered.

Li Chen ignored the strange looks from his other teammates.

"Hey! Lamar, you bastard, why are you always spying on me? I have a girlfriend."

"Fuck, Odom doesn't like men. I like blonde beauties, preferably Hollywood stars."

Pfft! The teammates all burst out laughing.

Seeing that Li Chen was still in the mood to joke, Alvin Gentry felt relieved. As long as Li Chen didn't give up, the team still had a chance to turn the tide.

So he said, "Chen, in the next game, you need to shoot more, don't hold back."

Li Chen was speechless, thinking, "Are you really the Clippers' head coach? Are you sure you're not a mole sent by Popovich? The Spurs are trying to wear themselves down, and you're just helping Spurs out."

Although he inwardly complained, he knew he couldn't blame Alvin Gentry, given the complexity of his situation.

Even if you rack your brains, you wouldn't imagine the awkward situation you're in now.

So he nodded perfunctorily.

A short while later, the pause ended.

The Clippers continued their offense.

Li Chen glanced at the score.

The Clippers are currently trailing by five points, 60 to 65.

Li Chen didn't call for Wang Zhizhi to set a screen because he knew the Spurs wouldn't give other players a chance to shoot; now it was his turn to shoot.

After thinking about it, he decided to try to tie the score first.

With this in mind, Li Chen immediately jumped up gracefully.

Despite Bowen's best efforts to block Li Chen's shot, the difference in physical talent rendered him powerless.

The basketball streaked across the sky and fell towards the hoop.

Swish! The basketball goes through the net cleanly.

63 to 65.

Cheers erupted once again in the Staples Center.

"Chen's unreasonable and impulsive pull-up is really inspiring," Sun Zhengping remarked.

Keep in mind, he wasn't this unrestrained in the first half, but in the second half, this kid really let loose, scoring straight goals against Bowen, Bowen could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about Li Chen.

Meanwhile, the SMS platform was once again bombarded with messages from fans.

The fans were ecstatic.

The shift from offense to defense.

The Spurs on offense.

Parker breaks through.

But Li Chen didn't make any rash moves. He stayed with Parker, and when Parker jumped, Li Chen slapped him hard, the basketball hitting the backboard and then bouncing away.

The ball flew right to Stephen Jackson, and he knew it was a great opportunity. Without hesitation, he immediately jumped and shot.

Elton Brand immediately moved forward to close the gap on defense.

Thud! The basketball bounced off the rim and went out of bounds.

A scramble for rebounds erupted under the basket.

Duncan pulled ahead of the pack, his large hands firmly gripping the basketball.

But just then, a large hand suddenly appeared and slammed down on the basketball between Duncan's hands.

Duncan felt a tremendous force coming at him, and the basketball between his hands was about to fly away.

Li Chen's strength shocked him, but that was not a reason for him to give up.

Duncan straightened his back and gripped the basketball tightly with both hands.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, the three hands appearing frozen in mid-air.

Li Chen's eyes burned fiercely, like two volcanoes.

Duncan's resolute eyes were filled with an unwavering determination.

They each had their own reasons for being certain of victory, as seen in their eyes.

Li Chen roared inwardly, veins bulging on his arms, and an overwhelming force erupted from his well-proportioned body.

Thud! Duncan could no longer hold the basketball between his hands.

The basketball flew towards the sideline.

A moment later, Duncan landed somewhat unsteadily, and said in a muffled voice, "I never expected you to be so strong. I won't lose next time."

Li Chen shrugged and said, "Shouldn't you say the future is mine?"

Duncan "..."

Popovich frowned deeply. Something's not right! Just a moment ago, this kid seemed worried about his stamina, so why is he suddenly acting so aggressively?

After thinking for a moment, Popovich's lips curled up. He was certain that this Eastern Kid was all bark and no bite.

The Spurs inbound the ball.

Parker receives the ball, drives to the basket, and passes to Ginobili.

Ginobili's layup attempt missed, leading to another scramble under the basket, with Odom managing to grab the rebound.

The Spurs' attack ended in failure.

The Clippers are on offense.

Li Chen dribbled the Bowen Li Chen sharp Bowen, piercing eyes.

Bowen felt uneasy under Li Chen's emotionless eyes.

Just then, Li Chen suddenly and gracefully jumped up without any warning.

Just then, Bowen realized something was wrong. He jumped up hastily, and in his haste, his hand struck Li Chen's arm hard.

However, the basketball still flew into the Nets.

A 3+1 shot that's absolutely absurd.

Kobe, who thought he knew Li Chen very well, was stunned. He remembered that Li Chen wasn't this strong when they practiced together!

But then he suddenly remembered Li Chen's peculiar characteristic: a fighter jet on the court but a junkie off the court, Kobe felt relieved.

"Chen, do you dare tell me how you developed your mentality? "Kobe silently asked himself.

Karl Malone, who had been watching the game closely, was stunned. This Eastern Kid's Shooting Ability is pretty strong!

This kind of unreasonable shooting reminded him of Michael Jordan, so much so.

A shadow fell over James after he saw Li Chen's unreasonable shot.

He began to doubt his ability to defeat such a man, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

He reaffirmed his belief, silently reminding himself, "James, you can't lose. The future of our whole family rests on your shoulders. You can do it."

He silently reminded himself of this, and then his eyes hardened.
