Chapter 121 Big Win Over the Nuggets! Iverson Is Traded

"With a 24-point lead, I wonder if the game will go straight into garbage time!"

Barkley said with some concern.

Although the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt, the bet between him and Van Gundy still existed.

Jiang Chen has already scored 46 points in the first three quarters, just 4 points away from 50 points.

"If the Nuggets hadn't fought back at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game would have gone straight into garbage time."

"And judging from the current state of the Nuggets' double guns, the chances of them leading the team to a counterattack are smaller than the chances of Iverson breaking through Jiang Chen's defense."

Smith sneered with some dissatisfaction.

Iverson's poor performance is still a concern. If he could continue his performance in the first half, the Nuggets wouldn't have fallen behind by so many points.

The fourth quarter will begin soon.

Obviously, Nuggets head coach George Karl did not want to give up the game, so he replaced main players such as Anthony, Iverson, Nene, and bench bandit Jr. Smith.

This is a very offensive lineup.

The Lakers also wanted to end the game early, so they used the same starting lineup in the second half, with Odom still playing as a small forward and Jiang Chen at the point guard position.

The Nuggets took the lead in attacking.

After Anthony received the basketball, facing Odom's defense, he directly took a mid-range jump shot.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The Lakers attack.

After Jiang Chen dribbled across half court, he suddenly shot a three-pointer from a very long distance.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

"49 points! Can Jiang Chen continue to break his career scoring record?"

"I hope the Nuggets can hold on a little longer and not give up the game too early."

Barkley said excitedly, making no secret of his support for Jiang Chen.

Smith rolled his eyes.

Is it necessary to be so excited just to win a bet?

The Nuggets attack.

The Lakers once again demonstrated their strong defensive power. After Anthony received the ball, he had no chance to pass the ball. He could only play one-on-one and force a shot.

If a lucky shot like this goes in, it shows the personal ability of a superstar.

If you don't get in, you can only blame it on bad luck.

Bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Bynum secured the rebound and passed it to Jiang Chen.

Now the Lakers' offense is completely led by Jiang Chen. Even Kobe has given up control of the ball and let Jiang Chen handle it on his own.

After dribbling across half court, Lei Ming dribbled with four fingers open and changed direction twice in a row. The basketball seemed to disappear from between his fingers, and then he easily passed Iverson.

Then he used the skill [Aomine Daiki's Irregular Shot] and hit a mid-range jump shot.

Directly widened the score gap to 27 points.

At the same time, Jiang Chen's personal score in this game reached 51 points, continuing to refresh his career scoring record.

"51 points! In just over three quarters, he scored 51 points. It was so easy!"

"Dude, you lost, but don't forget the bet between us!"

Barkley said gloatingly, with a smug look on his face.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who can't stand losing."

Van Gundy said expressionlessly, obviously unhappy.

I never expected that the Chinese player would perform so well and explode in three consecutive games.

Three consecutive games with 40+ points, one of which was 50+ points.

Among all active players, only Kobe can complete such a scoring performance.

It's incredible!

beep!

Court hearing.

George Karl frowned, replaced all the main players, announced the abandonment of the game, and let the game enter garbage time.

The Nuggets, who focused more on offense than defense, were completely unable to defend against the Lakers' offense.

When the Nuggets' offensive capabilities cannot be brought into play, it is difficult for them to win. This has been the crux of the Nuggets' problems for two or three consecutive seasons.

Since the "Golden Twins" didn't perform well today and the score gap is so big, they might as well give up the game.

Phil Jackson also replaced Kobe, Jiang Chen and other main players in time, and clocked out after three quarters again.

The game is over.

126:103.

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets by 23 points.

Jiang Chen played for 36 minutes, made 19 of 29 shots, 9 of 14 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, efficiently scoring 51 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 steals.

Not only did he set a career scoring record, he also set a steals record.

Kobe played steadily, making 11 of 23 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

This is the Nuggets side.

Iverson made 12 of 28 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

After scoring 26 points in the first half, Iverson only scored 5 points in the second half and was completely restricted by Jiang Chen.

Anthony scored 20 points in the game, with a hit rate of less than 40%, which was very inefficient.

At this time, players from both sides were greeting each other.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Rewards are now issued: 3,000 achievement points and 1,000 skill fusion fragments."

The voice of the system sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

Another 3000 achievement points.

Jiang Chen looked at the system interface and found that he was still far from having the fusion fragments needed to upgrade his skills. He could only hope to win the lottery based on the accumulated achievement points.

He gets excited every time he integrates new skills.

The other side.

Iverson and Kobe hugged each other, and the former showed a bitter smile: "Man, I was beaten badly by that Chinese player in this game. I have never been so embarrassed in my life! I can guarantee that even if you come to defend me, I will not perform so badly."

"Haha! Man, it's not shameful to be bullied by Jiang Chen. I am very optimistic about his career. His achievements will definitely not be lower than mine."

Kobe said with a happy smile on his face.

After every game, these old friends would come and praise Jiang Chen.

Like McGrady in the last game and Iverson in this game.

It seems that the strength displayed by Jiang Chen in the competition completely conquered them.

Iverson's expression froze, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Both were born in 1996, but their fates were completely different.

When his career was about to go downhill, Kobe was still at his peak, and after several seasons of painful suffering, the Lakers won the championship again.

As it stands, the Lakers will be able to maintain their championship potential for several years to come.

But what about yourself?

When will he be able to touch the O'Brien Cup that he has been pursuing throughout his career?

There is no answer.

"I won't lose again next time we meet. I will definitely lead the Nuggets to beat the Lakers!"

Iverson said this with a firm voice, his unyielding spirit making him more eager for victory.

"Man, we have been fighting each other for more than ten years. You know I will never allow myself to lose to you."

Kobe's expression also became serious and his tone was very earnest.

A few pleasantries.

The two turned and left the court.

The fans at the scene applauded Iverson again.

No one expected that this would be Iverson's last game for the Nuggets!

It was early in the morning of the second day after the game ended.

The NBA officially released a news release.

"Breaking news! The Nuggets and the Pistons have reached a deal! Iverson and Billups swap teams"…
