The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 202 The Jealous Ticket King ([-] Chapter)

Injuries are the biggest obstacle for basketball players on the road to greatness. Many talented players eventually died prematurely due to injuries, and Dayao is one of them.

In that era when there were no body whistles and the interior was full of confrontation, the center was the most vulnerable position on the court. In order to fight against the big players in the league, Yao, who had gained muscle, was plagued by injuries.

In 2005, Dayao underwent toe surgery.

In 2006, the tibia was injured, and Dayao played only 48 games in the regular season this season.

During the 2007-08 season, Dayao was diagnosed with a navicular fracture and needed to rest for 4 months after the operation.

In the 2008~2009 season, Dayao was sidelined due to a foot injury.

After that, it was the fractured leg bone in the second round of the playoffs that fans are familiar with.

On November 2010, 11, Dayao suffered the third stress fracture of his left ankle. After the Rockets team doctor diagnosed him in December, he will be reimbursed for the season.
After Li Ze came to Houston with the team, he naturally had to visit Dayao. After being reimbursed for the season, Dayao has been depressed. Repeated ankle injuries almost completely destroyed their careers.

As the aerospace city of America, Houston has a very well-developed medical level. Regarding Dayao's injury, the doctor also gave his own advice: three consecutive stress fractures, maybe you can say goodbye to basketball.
In the mansion built near the lake, Dayao entertained Li Ze at his own home. Compared with when he was just injured, Dayao's mentality was obviously much better, and the depression gradually disappeared. Seeing that his ankle was still tightly wrapped Actually, Li Ze could only comfort him:
"Brother Yao takes good care of his injuries, and the contract year is not a problem! Maybe you can also take advantage of the recovery period to lose weight directly, which will help prolong your career!"

When Dayao heard Li Ze's words, he just shook his head helplessly, and then said calmly:
"The doctor told me that if I continue to choose to play basketball, it is very likely that I will become a cripple directly and have three consecutive stress fractures. My ankle can no longer support high-intensity basketball. To be honest, I have already Thinking about retirement."

Hearing such words, Li Ze was also a little speechless, becoming a lame just to play basketball?Normal adults would not make such a choice. Seeing Li Ze's silence, Dayao said with a smile:

"Don't comfort me. This is a medical problem. Everything must be scientific. It has nothing to do with spiritual quality. I also said to Ah Lian that if you want to stay in the NBA, sometimes staying healthy is the most important thing. Some small things Injuries affect your performance."

"I'm glad to see that you and Alian have not had any injury problems recently. There is nothing wrong with Alian's style of play. Now it is different from the team in 2000. The outside players have gained more freedom and their shooting ability is very good. It’s important, and you must have a deep understanding of this.”

Li Ze immediately nodded in agreement when he heard this, and then said:
"Perhaps to make the game look better and attract more spectators, the referee has strictly implemented the No Hand Check above the free throw line this year. Compared with last season, my shooting percentage can reach 5%, thanks to this Whistle standard."

Dayao adjusted his sitting posture on the sofa, and said with a sigh:

"So every era has different tactics. In the past, it was the world of traditional centers. In that kind of high-confrontation games, I must make my body stronger. If I participate in the draft this year, maybe my career will be different. It's completely different."

"This year's Asian Championships is related to the quota for the Olympic Games. It is right for the national team to choose you. However, I will help you communicate with the Basketball Association for the following Asian events. If the Olympic Games are not involved, there is no need for the Asian events to be allowed. You go home."

"According to the development trend of the Thunder team, it is estimated that you have a chance to reach the Western Conference finals in the past two years. If there are too many games, you have to let your body take a good rest. Be sure to pay attention to injuries, even if it is a small toe injury. Pay attention, take advantage of the good lineup, and strive to win a championship!"

Li Ze felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Dayao who suddenly became a little lonely. Even if it was a stress fracture in his right foot, maybe this former little giant would continue to choose to play, but the reality is extremely cruel. He has just become a father, even if it is for the family, he will not take the risk of playing.

"Of course there will be a championship. I also prepared a lot of gifts for my little niece. Let's get together again when we return to China!"

Dayao laughed when he heard Li Ze's words, and then said dumbfoundedly:
"Don't give away that kind of pure gold safety lock. Maybe it's because I've been in America for a long time. I always feel a bit like the gold chains that black players like."

When Li Ze heard this, he immediately looked a little weird. He seriously suspected that Chapman did not find a craftsman from the Celestial Dynasty. They were also safe locks. The weight he gave was definitely enough, but the style really made people unable to complain. The aesthetics of the border do not conform to the national conditions!

The attendance rate of the Toyota Center arena tonight is not bad, but a large part of the fans bought tickets to watch Li Ze play, and the local Houston fans are still the same, never entering the stadium in advance, and the front row seats There is a lot of space again, and it is estimated that it will take two or three minutes to play in the first quarter before it can be filled.

After Dayao was reimbursed for the season, the Rockets lost consecutively for a period of time, but after the painful period, coach Adelman led this talented team to a record of 17 wins and 21 losses, and is currently ranked in the Western Conference. Ninth, perhaps there is still hope for the playoffs.

I have to say that the Princeton system does have dry goods. In the absence of superstars, the Rockets did not lose consecutively. Coach Adelman deserves the greatest credit.

But facing the Thunder tonight, the Rockets have been a bit overwhelmed since the beginning. Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry on the outside were completely suppressed, and Jordan Hill on the inside was not high enough to protect the basket. The tortoise suddenly became a sieve.

But Li Ze and Durant played more relaxed and happy. Facing such a small guard, Li Ze didn't even need to make too many complicated shakes. The condition is so good that it explodes.

The first quarter of the game has been played for more than 1 minutes. The scene was a bit tepid. The Thunder completely controlled the offensive rhythm. Kyle Lowry relied on Jordan Hill's cover and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand. He noticed that Kos Tich chose to defend in the pit, and Kyle Lowry wanted to make a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

But Li Ze on the side was chasing quickly. Kyle Lowry felt the defensive pressure brought by Li Ze just as he dribbled back. Stopping the ball in the block position is obviously not a good offensive option. Just about to pass the ball to Aaron Brooks on the outside.

However, the passing route was too obvious. It was easily predicted by the tortoise, and the ball was successfully copied, and then quickly pushed to change the attack. Aaron Brooks has been fighting the tortoise with his body, but the weight and muscles of the two are not at the same level. Yes, obviously such a defense cannot force the turtle to slow down.

Noticing that Li Ze behind him had already crossed the half-court very quickly, the advancing tortoise suddenly made a fake pass and threw the ball back at the same time as he broke through. When the ball arrived, Li Ze caught the ball with both hands , quickly turned the ball around in the air, and then hit a powerful windmill dunk with his right hand!
"Boom" made an alley-oop dunk.

After Aaron Brooks saw Li Ze's dunk at the basket, he felt very helpless. How should he defend?Many spectators at the Toyota Center were very excited. Li Ze played more casually in the first quarter. This was the first dunk in the whole game. It was really exciting!

Seeing Li Ze dunking the ball in, Guigui was very excited. She yelled strangely and bumped her chest with Li Ze in celebration. Noticing that the Chinese fans in the auditorium were constantly waving, Li Ze waved his hands in response. Call.

Coach Adelman on the sidelines was a little helpless. He looked at Courtney Lee and Chase Budinger on the bench, and then at Patrick Patterson. Still unable to restrict Li Ze, this has been verified in previous matches.

Scola scored consecutively under the basket in the first half of the game. After the top turned around this time, he was interfered by Jeff Green. The ball knocked out of the frame. The ball is passed to Li Ze who is nearby.

Noticing that the Rockets retreated quickly, Li Ze made a gesture to his teammates, and then accelerated the dribble. Krstic had just run halfway through at this time, and by the way, he made a high pick-and-roll for Li Ze.

Kyle Lowry's defense has never dared to stick too close. Taking advantage of the moment of the pick-and-roll, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and suddenly made a large behind-the-back dribble. Before Lowry could react, his left hand came again A very fast dribble behind the back, and then accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Lowry's defense hurriedly slid back, but Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly pulled back under the crotch on the three-point line, then quickly joined the ball, ignoring Kyle Lowry's jumping defense, leaned back slightly, and made a three-pointer Outside the line jump shot shot.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

The audience in the Toyota Center Arena saw Li Ze's silky shaking and then completed the three-point shot. Many fans shouted excitedly. The movement was large and looked a bit fancy. Coupled with Kyle Lowry, he was a little confused Expressions, everyone likes to watch this scene.

Li Ze did not celebrate too much, just smiled slightly, and quickly retreated. In the first quarter, he took exactly 4 shots this time. The teammates in this game are in good condition. They all choose to send cakes to everyone.

Durant saw Li Ze's chic goal from the sidelines, and immediately thought of lemons in his heart, and then thought that Li Ze's goals accounted for 6 of the top ten goals in the NBA yesterday, and his heart was sour. When you are a small player, you will not try those too fancy moves at all. The center of gravity is too high and it is easy to lose the ball.
After completing this goal, the head coach of Brooks also directly replaced Li Ze. There is still a back-to-back game against the Magic tomorrow, so the physical fitness of the main players should be saved.

In the next few minutes, the Rockets also failed to organize an effective counterattack. At 24:34, the Thunder took a ten-point lead in the first quarter.

During the intermission, Durant, who has been a little swollen recently, began to complain again:

"I have already started to test my next opponent. Why does the NBA always arrange an away game and then return home? Such back-to-back games are really troublesome!"

"In fact, it's not bad to think about such a schedule carefully. Just relax. There will always be enough rest time after back-to-back games. At that time, we can go to Los Angeles for a few days in advance."

Li Ze doesn't mind such a schedule. Anyway, as long as it's not consecutive away games, coach Brooks saw that his players were going to start chatting again, so he quickly tapped the tactical board in his hand, and then reminded loudly:
"Okay, lads! We still have three quarters to play, stay focused, and other players must be prepared. I don't want to see you at a loss after playing. I will increase the rotation for this game!"

When the members of the atmosphere team heard Coach Brooks' words, they immediately became energetic. Partnering with the main players, they can get better data in most cases. Everyone likes such a colorful pie.

After the start of the second quarter, Ibaka, who came off the bench, was in a very good state. After two consecutive pick-and-roll cooperations with Li Ze, all mid-range jumpers after the split were easily hit.

When Li Ze saw this situation, he immediately regained his energy. In the subsequent offensive round, he played two pick-and-rolls, and Ibaka still made the ball steadily.

Coach Brooks on the sidelines saw Ibaka's performance, and immediately nodded with satisfaction. If Jeff Green was traded, he would lack a three-pointer from the perimeter, but Ibaka's recent mid-range performance, It also gave the coaching staff hope.

The Rockets began to rotate personnel continuously, but they were still unable to catch up with the point difference. On the contrary, the Thunder team, under the organization of Li Ze, played a simple pick-and-roll cooperation, coupled with Ibaka's sudden burst of mid-range, and hit another A wave of 8:2 climax.

In the following games, the Thunder became more and more courageous, and the atmosphere group who came off the bench played extraordinarily hard. The trio played steadily. After the start of the 4th quarter, almost the whole quarter became garbage time, which also made the Toyota Center live. The audience was a little dissatisfied, Li Ze was replaced!
In the end, 118:102, the Thunder beat the Rockets in the away game, and with a record of 33 wins and 6 losses, they once again led the league.

After the game, Jeff Green was a little depressed. He got a lot of opportunities in this game, but he didn't feel good. In the end, he only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Ibaka made 9 of 8 shots and got 16 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, and thinking about the team's trade, Jeff Green was a little depressed.

李泽本场比赛三节打卡，拿到了20分5篮板11助攻1抢断的大号两双，而杜兰特又展现出了超高效率，同样是三节打卡，高效砍下24分5篮板1助攻，龟龟则平平无奇的拿到了16分4篮板4助攻1失误。

The trio played steadily, and the atmosphere group also got tempered. The Thunder returned to Oklahoma City overnight, smiling after winning the game. They will face the Orlando Magic at home tomorrow night.

On January 1th, the NBA announced the voting results of the third stage. Li Ze led the Western Conference with 13 votes. Wang should not have much suspense.

Kobe Bryant followed closely, followed by Dwight Howard, and LeBron James gradually reversed his reputation with the Heat's winning streak, and the number of votes came to fourth.

Durant, who was surfing the Internet at home, saw that LeBron James had surpassed him in the number of votes, and suddenly he felt unbalanced again.

Obviously the Thunder are number one in the league, and he is currently averaging close to 27 points per game. Such a performance is still unable to surpass LeBron James in the All-Star voting, which is too outrageous!

Then he thought that although he signed a big contract with Nike, he was still very dissatisfied with the issue of signature sneakers. Durant wanted woven uppers like Li Ze's, but Nike had been unable to give a positive answer. In short, he Sour again.
"Kleiman, do you have an endorsement contract for clothing recently? You know, the Thunder will definitely have a lot of live broadcasts across the United States in the future. We'd better sign a few clothing endorsements. I also want to personally participate in the design!"

Durant was scrolling through INS at this time, and saw that Guigui had uploaded a bunch of pictures of strange looks, so he couldn't help asking the manager beside him about clothing.

Kleiman is also embarrassed to tell the truth. In his opinion, this big employer is good everywhere, but his appearance and temperament are a bit out of touch. Therefore, after hearing Durant's question, he can only answer tactfully:
"Kevin, many brands of clothing don't like basketball players. Your height is too high. All the clothes are individually customized, which will make consumers feel distanced. I actually got some food endorsement contracts. I have time. you can take a look."

"Hey, maybe we can create a clothing brand by ourselves in the future. I have always had a lot of inspiration, but I still can't find a suitable style. The color matching of the stylist is too conservative."

When Kleiman heard Durant's words, the corners of his mouth twitched. Of course he knew that his employer and Li Ze were using the same styling team, but the results were very different. Lehman quickly reminded:

"Kevin, you have to pay attention to your data, don't forget the additional clauses we signed with Nike, you must enter the best team again this season, and strive to reach the Western Conference Finals, big contracts are not so easy to get Yes, you have been a little slack in training recently."

"."

After the results of the All-Star voting at each stage come out, the players in the league will feel sour, especially seeing the sudden rise of Li Ze, who is just 20 years old, and many players have become lemon essences. At the age of 20, this is the case. It's too late to go to heaven!

Thinking that Li Ze still ranks first in the MVP candidate list, everyone feels even more uncomfortable. A 1-year-old MVP?It's a record no one can break.
Dwight Howard is a member of Serious Lemons. He has a lot of endorsement contracts, all of which have additional clauses. Losing the All-Star ticket champion will cost him some dollars.

If it was a loss to Kobe Bryant, Howard might not be too sour, but losing to a rookie player makes him very upset. It’s okay for the old guys to get in the way. You’re a newbie and you want to pretend to be big guy?

Therefore, in an interview before the game, Howard started his own sour words;

"Perhaps the NBA should ban celebrities from participating in canvassing. Li himself is a well-known singer. This is unfair to other players. We should make basketball more pure."

"Dwight, you should know that many Hollywood stars are canvassing for Kobe Bryant, and Rihanna and Jay-Z are also canvassing for James. In fact, these stars are fans of the NBA."

"Let's talk about tonight's game again. The Thunder are now number one in the league. This is also the first time you have played against each other this season. Do you have confidence in tonight's game?"

Howard was a little embarrassed to hear the reporter's prompt, so he quickly answered the question and changed the subject:

"Of course, the team has made some personnel adjustments recently. I am very happy to see that Turkoglu can return to the team. Our state is getting better and better. I am confident that we will win tonight's game. Will lie, I will prove that I am the real MVP!"

ESPN reporters heard Howard's answer and smiled with satisfaction, and they can start another wave of battle before the game
After the start of the new season, the Magic currently has a record of 25 wins and 13 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference. In December, the team traded away Vince Carter, who had a good performance in the playoffs last season, from the Suns. Got Jason - Richardson, but also in exchange for Hedo - Turkoglu.

The head coach of Van Gundy actually regrets the team's previous transaction. If Turkoglu had stayed with the Magic, maybe last year's playoffs would not have been violently beaten by the Celtics.

Thinking of the fact that the uniform team has brought in an outdated star——Gilbert Arenas, head coach Van Gundy is a little speechless. He always feels that the team is repeating the same mistakes, and an outdated star is really useless what!
The game on the 13th was also broadcast live across the United States. ESPN also sent ace combinations such as Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mike Breen to comment on the spot. Howard was hailed by the fans as the league's number one center. ESPN even made a preview of the game in advance.

The Ford Center Arena has additional seats tonight. Oklahoma City fans are also looking forward to this game. Howard's popularity in the league is still very high. Watching this Superman play live is definitely a good ticket!
But after the game started, Howard completely became a supporting role. Both Li Ze and Durant were in top form, and scored consecutively after the opening, which also made the atmosphere on the scene even more heated, too vigorous!
The reason why the Magic were beaten by the Celtics last season was mainly because the perimeter defense was really stretched. Even if Howard's defense ability is strong, his DPOY is useless when he encounters a bunch of colanders.

Richardson and Turkoglu are not defensive champions, as are Jameer Nelson and Brandon Bass. The offensive shooting ability may not be bad, but the defensive end really can't stand it.

Brandon Bass rushed into the interior against Durant's defense, and seemed to want to fight for a foul, but was rejected by Ibaka's big hat who started the game. The Magic quickly returned to defense, and Turtle noticed that there was no conversion When there is an opportunity to attack, immediately make an offensive gesture to your teammates.

After half court, Li Ze quickly gave the ball to Li Ze on the left flank of the three-point line. Open up the offensive space.

But Li Ze didn't wait for Kostic's cover to be in place at this time, quickly released the ball with his left hand, dribbled back with a cross step, and quickly changed direction with his right hand, and then took advantage of the trend to dribble the ball behind the back. Kostic just stood still, Li Ze clings to the screen, holding the ball in his right hand and speeding up the breakthrough.

Naturally, Howard would not choose to squat to defend. At this time, his defensive position was very forward. Noticing that Li Ze seemed to want to speed up the breakthrough, he subconsciously took a step back.

Noticing the opponent's defensive movement, Li Ze quickly adjusted his dribbling rhythm, dribbling the ball behind his back quickly with his right hand, and before Howard could react, he stopped at the free throw line and shot a jumper.

"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.

"Kayce is very smart in playing the ball. He made full use of the slow pace of the center to defend against pick-and-rolls. Of course, Howard is already very fast compared to other big centers. But for Kayce, as long as there is a trace of shooting space, he will Can put the ball in the basket."

Jeff Van Gundy saw Li Ze follow the same pattern and hit another shot, and immediately began to praise Li Ze's offensive choices.

"Magic's perimeter defense is still an old problem. Man, we commented on the game between the two teams in the Thunder's rookie season. I remember the Thunder used the same style of play to easily beat the opponent. And tonight Kayce So good with Durant, Magic need to get past the pick-and-roll!"

Mark Jackson also began to express his views. More than a year has passed, and the Magic's perimeter has not changed, which makes people a little speechless.

The Magic's offense, after passing the ball a few times, Turkoglu seemed to want to find the feeling he used to have, slowly dribbled the ball from the crotch outside the three-point line, and finally took a step back against Durant's defense three-pointer.

"Bang!" Another strike.

The long rebound was directly received by Li Ze, and then he quickly launched a transition attack, quickly in and out with his left hand, and then accelerated directly, easily swaying past Richardson, and after rushing through the half court, he noticed that the tortoise had gone crazy from the left Accelerated and immediately delivered a lob pass.

Turtle soared into the air, and after receiving the pass, he directly dunked with both hands!
"Kang" the dunk was successful.

After landing, Guigui was extremely excited, beat his chest violently, then yelled strangely, and showed his biceps when returning to defense, which made many spectators in the front row also yelled.

Oklahoma City fans like to watch Turtle play. Although they sometimes go into the sewer, this kind of passionate dunk has always been the fans' favorite.

The little flame in Howard's heart went up. This attack was directly in the low post. After receiving Turkoglu's pass, facing Kostic's defense, he slapped his back twice, and then turned towards the baseline. , A stiff hook shot from the right hand basket scored the ball.

After halftime, Guigui still played a pistol tactic, but this time he directly gave the ball to Ibaka who was raised, and then quickly went to receive a hand-off pass. Li Ze moved up the line at this time, and Richard Sen's defense is close to the defense.

Noticing that Richardson's defense was very close, Li Ze suddenly ran back and quickly cut in along the baseline. Turtle hit the ground just right and passed the ball directly to Li Ze's hands.

Howard's assisted defense was also very fast, but to his surprise, Li Ze took off directly after receiving the ball, which made his defense a beat slower, and the take-off height was not enough. After the aerial confrontation, Howard felt a strong attack, and it was difficult to Maintain your center of gravity.

Seeing that Li Ze was not affected at all, he immediately realized that he was about to be buckled. At this time, Li Ze's head was almost flat, his body was tense, and his left arm was pulled back. Swing the ball into the hoop!

"boom!"

"OH! OH! Separate the buttons! What a play by Kayce!"

"OMG! I might have to make a doctor's appointment for Dwight, Kayce smashed him!"

In the ESPN commentary booth, Mike Breen screamed directly, and then Jeff Van Gundy screamed too, and made a little joke by the way.

Howard's physical fitness is relatively good. Although he staggered after landing, he maintained his balance. But when he came back to his senses, he saw Li Ze shaking his finger at him with disdain. Such a provocative action, Instantly aroused the anger in his heart.

The fans in the Ford Center arena were all in high spirits at this time. When everyone saw the tortoise passing the ball, they realized that there might be a dunk. Many people stood up subconsciously and saw that Li Ze almost dunked Howard. , suddenly started yelling frantically.

"squeak"

The referee once again gave Li Ze a technical foul. Shaking his finger was considered a provocative action. Under strict whistleblowing, fouls must be given, and Li Ze didn't care. He had to pay the price for his big mouth before the game. At this time, he He began to raise his hands to the audience on the sidelines again, signaling everyone to continue hi!
Turkoglu made a free throw and the Magic attacked again. Howard, whose anger rose, began to ask for the ball in the low post. He once again showed off his post-up singles. Let go, and finally carried Kostic helplessly, and put the ball under the basket.
In the eyes of Oklahoma City fans, such a response is abysmal!Some fans in the front row even directly mocked Howard's post-up technique.

"Hey, maybe you can ask Kayce for some footwork!"

"Haha, man, you might as well do two down dunks and stop showing your crappy post up."

Li Ze scored consecutive goals here, and Durant was not to be outdone. Facing a defender with a high center like Turkoglu, Durant also dared to show off his ball-handling skills. Twice, he changed his body forward and backward, completely swayed the defense, made a sudden stop and made a steady hit in the middle distance.

"Brilliant goal! Guys, how tall is Durant?"

Hearing Mike Breen's inquiry, Mark Jackson replied with a smile:
"Anyway, it's definitely not the height on his draft report. If you only look at it on the court, Durant's height is close to Howard."

At this time, the tempo on the field is getting faster and faster, and the game is completely on the side of the Thunder. With the offensive end feeling overwhelming, the defensive end directly gave up the plan of double-teaming, and the two sides completely turned into offense in the first quarter. war.

At the end of the first quarter, at 1:26, the Thunder team easily led by 35 points. What excited the audience was that Li Ze had 9 for 4 in the first quarter, Durant had 4 for 5 in the first quarter, Turtle had 4 for 6 and three for three. Both groups have shown terrifying scoring efficiency.

In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Magic changed the backcourt combination. Arenas and JJ-Redick came off the bench, Ryan Anderson also got a chance to play, and Howard, who was so angry, didn't care about rest. Stay on the field.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and Arenas felt his scalp tingle when he saw Li Ze. When he was still in the Wizards team, he was completely blown away by the Thunder team's outside line. These newbies don't respect veterans at all!
Noticing that Arenas' defense was not very close, Li Ze began to dribble the ball continuously under the crotch outside the three-point line, his body center of gravity dropped slightly, and he pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand. Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball behind his back.

Arenas quickly put up the defense, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back again with his right hand, and at the same time held the ball in his left hand for a short pause, then suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, and after a big dribble, he dribbled back with a large cross step.

Arenas was already stunned at the free throw line, watching Li Ze easily make a jump shot from beyond the three-point line. What's more, Li Ze raised his hands and began to celebrate without waiting for the ball to score.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

Shrimp and pork heart!Arenas is dying of depression, can't you respect the veteran?
"I like to watch Kayce play, haha, very exciting swing, maybe he will sweep the top ten shots in the NBA today!"

Jeff Van Gundy laughed directly in the commentary booth. Li Ze’s celebration was indeed a bit of a suspicion, but the audience in the Ford Center Arena liked it very much. When everyone saw Li Ze raised his hands, they shouted in sync. , start celebrating.

The Magic's offense actually didn't have too many problems. Although Howard's movements are not beautiful, he can always score the ball under the basket. At the same time, JJ-Redick can also hit a three-pointer, but the score is behind, and he can attack but not defend. , it depends on the opponent's touch.

Li Ze did not take frequent shots in the second quarter. He found that his teammates felt very good today. Ibaka's mid-range shots are still stable, and Jeff Green can also hit three-pointers, so most of the time he is running tactics. , UCLA's screen bounce after cutting in always gives Li Ze a chance to get an open three-pointer.

When the head coach of Brooks made a personnel rotation, Li Ze made 2 of 4 shots in the second quarter. All 3 shots were three-pointers, and he easily scored 4 points in a single quarter.

And Durant, who played after that, still maintained a very high shooting rate. In tonight's game, Durant killed Turkoglu completely.
At halftime, 57:68, as the Thunder extended their lead, Howard felt like he was punching Cotton, and the jumper battalion was his natural enemy.

After the start of the second half, the Thunder played more simply and rudely. Head coach Brooks also knew that today's outside three-person team felt overwhelming, so the tactic in the third quarter temporarily changed to a high-position pick-and-roll at the 3th position.

After the opening of the game, Turtle performed a pick-and-roll far from the three-point line, changed direction in front of his body, and then accelerated in a straight line, easily getting rid of Nelson's defense. , and then made a two-point emergency stop jumper.

"Shua" scored a two-pointer.

The Magic also played a pick-and-roll. Nelson and Bass played a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll was split, Bass received the pass at the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, and then made a mid-range jumper to score the ball.

The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball. After halftime, the turtle immediately gave the ball to the uplifted Ibaka, and then quickly cut inside to take away the defense. Li Ze quickly moved up the line and received a hand-off pass. The ball breaks through step by step.

Richardson has been chasing and defending from his side. Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row. While shaking his body confusingly, he dribbled the ball vigorously with his right hand on the spot. After shaking the defense, he stopped suddenly in the middle distance Jump shot.

"Shua" easily scored in the middle distance.

The audience at the Ford Center Arena began to cheer loudly for the team's goal. Tonight's offensive battle was really cool, and both teams had high shooting percentages.

Seeing the Thunder scoring consecutive goals, the Magic finally became a little anxious. After passing the ball a few times from the outside, Richardson fired directly from beyond the three-point line, but it was a pity that he still hit the iron.

After the rebound was accepted by Ibaka, the Thunder launched a conversion attack again. Durant used a double screen to catch the ball outside the three-point line. The ball took a big step, and one step inside the three-point line made an emergency stop and a jumper shot.

"唰" scored two points long and scored again.

After scoring the goal, Durant also appeared extremely arrogant. He directly shrugged his shoulder at Turkoglu, and then quickly returned to defense with a smile on his face.

"Maybe the Magic will fail this season. I haven't seen any changes in their perimeter defense. Not every team likes to go to the basket. Obviously, the team's uniforms have not formed a proper lineup around Howard. .”

Jeff Van Gundy was merciless. Seeing that the point difference had widened, he started chatting about the team's gossip, and by the way, he complained about the Magic's management.

Howard became more and more frustrated as he played more and more. His scoring could not help the team narrow the point difference. He could only watch helplessly as the Thunder's trio hit long shots again and again. When the official timeout came, Howard was frustrated and gave up. The game, and also had some quarrels with coach Van Gundy.

"Oh! It seems that their relationship has not eased, haha, maybe the Magic should change their head coach."

Durant was extremely happy. Tonight he felt that the basket was as wide as the sea. He noticed what happened on the Magic bench and immediately began to gloat.

"The gossip news still has some credibility. Maybe Howard will choose to leave the team in the future. The head coach Van Gundy is still very prestigious."

Li Ze took a sip of water with a relaxed expression. Tonight's slap in the face was not very successful. Howard didn't make it to the fourth quarter. In fact, he can understand the opponent, and it doesn't feel good to wipe his ass on the outside.

In the second half of the third quarter, after Howard left the field, Turtle's performance was extremely active. Several consecutive breakthroughs made the Thunder completely open the point difference. After that, it was time for the atmosphere group to perform. Fans have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game in advance.

The garbage time ended quickly, at 108:125, the Thunder team used crazy offense to completely blow up the Magic team.

Li Ze easily scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 turnover and 1 steal in this game. In such a high-round game, he can easily score high points by clocking in three quarters. In an interview with ESPN reporters after the game, Li Ze even directly joked:

"My stats may not be deceiving. Everyone knows that my performance in advanced stats has always been very good. Say thank you to Stephen-A for me, and thank him for his appreciation of me on the First Take program!"

"Haha, I will, Kayce, come on for the All-Star Game!"

Li Ze celebrated the victory of this game with the Oklahoma City fans, but he thought of his opponent in the next game:

"There is only one championship, the old Mamba should get out of the way!"
