The Clippers' Opportunity

A short while later, the Kings launched their first attack, with Bibby carrying the ball up the court.

He dribbled the ball while his eyes darted around, observing the positions of his teammates.

Meanwhile, you're still marveling at Webber's dominance today, scoring 20 points in one quarter—it's practically a superstar performance!

Suddenly, he saw Li Chen's fierce gaze, like a hungry wolf hunting its prey, and a chill ran down his spine.

What's wrong with this kid? Why does he look like he wants to fight?

At this moment, Bibby noticed Li Chen's unusual expression and became wary.

Just then, Li Chen suddenly moved.

Li Chen's hand moved with lightning speed, reaching for the basketball.

Seeing this, Bibby wasn't surprised. He turned his back to protect the basketball, but even though he was prepared, Li Chen still managed to poke the ball away.

Bibby instinctively wanted to grab the ball that Li Chen had poked away, but when he saw the basketball not far from Bian County, he gave up on trying to save it.

But just then, a figure suddenly swept past him. Bibby only felt a breeze brush past him, and then he saw Li Chen pounce on the basketball like a cheetah.

This scene stunned Bibby, who thought to himself, "This kid is really going all out!"

Just as he thought of this, he heard the whistling wind again and instinctively turned his head to look.

Odom watched as Li Chen smashed a Kings fans to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"Fuck, you bastard, are you stupid? You only make a few hundred thousand a year, do you really need to work this hard?" Odom cursed inwardly.

Fine, we've been through thick and thin together, I'm going to give it my all.

Lost in thought, Odom dribbled the ball and sprinted towards his team's attacking third.

But by then, Bibby and Webber had already reacted, and the two quickly caught up with Odom, flanking Odom from the left and right.

Meanwhile, the other players on the Clippers and Kings only then realized what was happening, and they all sprang into action.

Li Chen's fall was quite severe, because several clever fans, lacking awareness, dodged it, leaving him without any cushioning effect and causing him considerable pain.

On the other side, Odom ignored Bibby and the other two; his mind was solely focused on scoring. He had never felt such a strong desire to score since he started playing basketball.

Just then, he leaped high into the air.

At the same time, Bibby and Webber also leaped high into the air.

Odom's eyes widened in fury. "Get out of our way, all of you!"

Odom, with a burst of strength from who-knows-where, crashed through the gap between the two defenders and slammed the basketball into the hoop.

After successfully dunking, Odom roared to the sky amidst the boos from the Kings fans.

Just then, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that the Kings' Bibby had committed a blocking foul, Odom was awarded a free throw.

At this moment, Li Chen also walked over.

"Li Chen, are you alright?" Wang Zhizhi asked worriedly.

Li Chen smiled and shook his head to indicate that there was no problem.

Hearing Li Chen say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Swish! Odom scores the penalty.

23 to 40.

"You're pretty good, kid!" Li Chen chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fuck, if it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, I wouldn't bother putting in this much effort," Odom said, rubbing his chest.

Li Chen found it amusing. "I know, I know, you, Lamar, are the most loyal."

That is...

The two players' strong performance has given other players a glimmer of hope; perhaps there is still a chance, who knows?

The Kings on offense.

Having just lost the ball, Bibby is now on high alert, determined to prevent Li Chen from stealing another victory.

At this moment, Li Chen once again closely guarded him, putting enough pressure on him to force him into making a mistake.

Bibby was having a tough time being defended, feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

At that moment, Webber raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Bibby immediately passed the ball to Webber, who now realized that Li Chen, when defending with all his might, was no worse than the All-Star second-team defenders.

Webber received the ball and drove to the basket for a layup.

However, due to interference from Wang Zhizhi, the basketball did not go through the net cleanly.

But Chris Webber had incredible luck today, and after several twists and turns, the basketball finally fell into the net.

23 to 42.

The Clippers are on offense. Li Chen shoots over Bibby, and swish! The basketball goes through the net.

The [Divine Shooter] skill has proven effective.

26 to 42.

The shift from offense to defense.

Bibby passed the ball to Webber again, and Webber scored once more.

26 to 44.

Then, with ten minutes left in the second quarter, when the Clippers narrowed the score to 36-50, Clippers.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"The Clippers must limit Kings 'Webber offensive threat if they want to win; he was absolutely phenomenal today."

"Yes! He was Michael Jordan in this game," Barkley exclaimed.

"Webber has 30 points now. However, Li Chen is not bad either, with 28 points. The two are performing at a similar level, but the Clippers' other players are somewhat lacking in offense. I guess Coach Alvin Gentry might adopt a double-team strategy," Kenny Smith speculated.

"Not necessarily," Barkley said mysteriously.

"Oh? Charles, what do you mean?" Kenny Smith asked, surprised.

Barkley makes a gesture of knocking Webber unconscious with a big elbow.

Kenny Smith smiled faintly and shook his head helplessly.

After the timeout and timeout, the Clippers began to double-team Webber, but it had little effect, which frustrated Alvin Gentry.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was 60-45. The Clippers were still down by 15 points.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"If the Clippers continue on this momentum, they really might be able to turn the tide and win," Kenny Smith speculated.

Barkley, known for his outspokenness, shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The Clippers are only really consistent with Chen; the other players are like they're having a meltdown. They might just go silent in the third quarter."

Kenny Smith was speechless, thinking to himself, "Couldn't Charles have been a little more tactful?"

However, to the surprise of fans watching on television, Barkley's prediction actually came true.

At the start of the third quarter, the Clippers' offense suddenly went cold, and even Li Chen's shooting percentage dropped sharply. Even the "Mid-range King" needed three to four attempts to make a shot.

With only half a quarter remaining, the Clippers trailed by 22 points, 48-70.

With no other option, Li Chen had to rely on driving to the basket and relentlessly attacking the rim.

This is how the score managed to stabilize and prevent a complete collapse.

With nine minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Clippers received some good news.

Chris Webber Webber injured. He collapsed and lost consciousness for at least 10 seconds while preparing to receive a pass from his teammate under the basket.

Odom was completely stunned. He raised his hands high, indicating to the referee that he hadn't touched him and that he had fallen on his own.

Before the game, Webber said he was considering surgery on his inflamed left foot after the season ended. Foot injuries have kept Webber out of 30 games in the last two seasons.

Webber, the All-Star forward, has also been plagued by knee pain. In Game 2 of the first round of the Playoffs Webber, Webber strained his back and has not participated in the Kings' practices since then.

His incredible performance despite being injured shows he's a true man.

Chris Webber's injury was both unexpected and expected, giving the Clippers a chance to create a miracle.
