Exploding Marbury

Transition on offense and defense.

Marbury certainly wasn't afraid of Li Chen.

Near the three-point line, Marbury raised his arms to block Li Chen, "Kid, I'd like to see how you're going to cross me over."

Li Chen remained expressionless and didn't engage in trash talk with Marbury.

Li Chen lowered his center of gravity, dribbling the ball back and forth with his hands, his feet moving rhythmically.

Meanwhile, Marbury steadily followed Li Chen, showing no signs of being out of position.

Suddenly, Li Chen's body leaned to the right, but his feet moved to the left.

At this moment, Marbury felt his ankles go soft, his feet sliding backward until, with a thump, he sat down on the floor.

He looked up at Li Chen, his face full of shock. He had actually been crossed over, and it felt unreal.

Li Chen looked down from above and said calmly, "Not convinced? I'll play with you anytime, until you are."

With that, under Marbury's upward gaze, he made the shot.

72-72, the score was tied again.

At the same time, the Staples Center erupted in cheers once more.

These cheers felt like needles piercing his heart, driving him to the brink of madness.

Damn it, no, I have to get it back, or how else can I establish myself in the NBA?

Marbury dribbled the ball up the court again.

At this moment, Li Chen had a peculiar feeling.

It felt similar to when he had accidentally entered a certain state while practicing basketball.

But it was also different because he didn't have that feeling of dominating the court.

That wondrous state was like a door bound by countless chains.

He knew that if he could remove all those chains, he would step into that wondrous, captivating realm again.

However, even if he couldn't open that door, his strength had greatly increased, and his speed and agility had reached a terrifying level.

If human limits were 100, Li Chen was now at stage 99.

Although the gap between 99 and 100 was only 1, seemingly close, it was actually very far.

At this moment, Marbury tried to cross over Li Chen again with a crossover step.

Li Chen felt Marbury's movements were so slow that he could snatch the ball just by reaching out.

With this thought, Li Chen quickly reached out for the basketball.

Slap, Li Chen's fingers, like radar, accurately swatted the ball from Marbury's hands.

Marbury's heart leaped. He was desperate and played beyond his limits to save the ball.

However, the hand holding the ball wasn't very steady.

Just then, Li Chen directly snatched the ball that Marbury hadn't secured.

This made the fans laugh. He had struggled so hard to save the ball.

Yet, it ended up being for someone else's benefit. At this moment, Marbury was like a clown.

After grabbing the ball, Li Chen sprinted down the court and slammed it through the hoop with a powerful dunk.

74-72, the Clippers took the lead.

Staples Center. The overwhelming cheers rang out again.

This Eastern man played too tough today; they loved it.

Suns' offense.

Li Chen once again blocked Marbury, "Convinced? If not, let's continue."

Li Chen's calm voice made Marbury feel like he was facing an insurmountable mountain, just like when he faced an enraged Michael Jordan.

Even so, he didn't want to submit to the oppressive might of this Eastern man. He really wanted to say, "Not convinced, not convinced, I'm just not convinced."

But he knew he wasn't a match for this man he had already angered. Reason told him to give up! Struggling further would be futile and only make him more embarrassed. That was all. At this moment, he truly felt a sense of powerlessness.

He even regretted it now. He had originally just wanted to vent his pent-up frustration.

But he never expected this Eastern kid to be so vengeful.

Also, he's not one of your Eastern people, just one of your teammates, is it really necessary for you to be like this?

Lost in thought, Marbury passed the ball to Stoudemire at the baseline.

Marbury retreated, cowered, and surrendered.

After receiving the ball, Stoudemire charged towards the basket like a heavy truck.

At this moment, Wang Zhizhi blocked him. Stoudemire intended to dunk over Wang Zhizhi.

After all, Stoudemire had always been unconvinced about Yao Ming being the number one draft pick. Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of Easterners.

However, just then, he inexplicably experienced the scene of Marbury being tripped and falling to the ground.

Would this petty Yellow Monkey retaliate against him? Fine! That petty man would definitely retaliate against him.

You have to know, it was just his teammate who was tripped just now, a fellow American. If he were to dunk on an Easterner...

Thinking this, he decided against dunking. What if he couldn't make the dunk? That would be too embarrassing. He found a perfect excuse for himself.

After Stoudemire made the shot, Li Chen brought the ball up the court.

This time, Marbury didn't guard Li Chen. He was clearly beaten.

It was Joe Johnson who nervously and uneasily stuck to him.

"Chen, I'm telling you, don't go too far," Joe Johnson said.

"I just beat up Marbury. Who told you not to listen to advice and cling to me like this?"

As he spoke, he passed the ball to Elton Brand, who seemed to be on steroids.

Joe Johnson felt like he had taken ten thousand points of damage.

"Fuck, are you a devil?" Joe Johnson felt so wronged! If Joe Johnson had known Dou E, he would have hugged her and cried, and then they would have wailed together, "Sister E, we are truly wronged."

At the same time, after receiving the pass from Li Chen, Elton Brand thought of the moment Li Chen stood up for him.

Honestly, he was really moved, so moved that his eyes welled up. He secretly vowed, "Li Chen, you will always be my good brother, Elton Brand."

His thoughts wandered as he charged towards the basket and soared for a powerful dunk.

76 to 74.

Next, Elton Brand seemed to be cheating, making all sorts of shots.

By the end of the third quarter, Elton Brand had scored 18 points alone.

Leading 96 to 80, the Suns were down by 16 points.

Less than five minutes into the fourth quarter, Elton Brand's offense was still fierce, scoring 8 points alone.

The Clippers went on a 14-5 run, crushing the Suns.

The Suns surrendered, substituting all their starters.

On the Clippers' side, Alvin Gentry also substituted his starters.

This time, Li Chen also asked to be taken out because he was a little tired.

He knew it must be because of that state he was in earlier.

At the same time, he was also fantasizing about what it would be like to play a game in that marvelous state. At this moment, Li Chen's eyes were filled with longing.

When the game ended, the Clippers won with a score of 120 to 105.

In this game, Elton Brand achieved an excellent record of 32 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.

His other teammates also performed well.

Li Chen's stats for this game were 20 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 4 blocks.

Elton Brand was named the MVP of this game.

Li Chen brushed past the "Ankle Killer."

However, Li Chen didn't care, because he would randomly encounter it again sooner or later.
