The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 219 The playoffs start (9000 word chapter)
The 2010~2011 season NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the playoff situation of the Eastern and Western Leagues is basically clear. In the West, the Thunder has no record pressure at all. With a record of 63 wins and 13 losses, it has already secured the No. [-] position in the West. .

The San Antonio Spurs currently have a record of 58 wins and 19 losses. With 5 games left in the regular season, even if the Thunder lose all games, the Spurs will still rank second based on their wins.

In this case, Popovich began to take a proper rotation of GDP again, followed by the Dallas Mavericks, who have a 4 win gap with the Spurs, and then the Los Angeles Lakers, who are 5 behind. wins.

At present, the competition for the third and fourth places is relatively fierce, and the Spurs can be regarded as sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. As long as they win the next two games, they will basically be able to completely lock in the second place.

The 5th-placed Denver Nuggets are 5 games behind the Lakers. At present, it seems that there is no hope of squeezing into the upper half, but they are only two games ahead of the 6th-placed Trail Blazers, so they want to To keep the fifth place, there are only a few games left and we can't relax.

The most suspenseful thing in the West is the seventh or eighth position. The Hornets and the Grizzlies currently have the same record, and they are only two games behind the sixth-place Trail Blazers. Therefore, the two sides fought very hard in the final stage. They don't want to meet the Thunder in the first round. After all, the trio is in such a good state, if they are not careful, they will have to play in the first round...

Compared with the West, the teams in the lower half of the East basically do not face very fierce competition, and it can be said that they can enter the playoffs lying down.

On April 4rd, the Pacers, ranked eighth in the East, lost again. So far, they have a record of 3 wins and 35 losses. Although the record looks very hip, they are still ahead of the ninth-ranked Bucks The team won two games.

In the next 4 games, unless the Pacers lose all of them, there is a high probability that they will be able to make it to the playoffs.

Although the teams in the lower half generally collapsed, the ranking in the upper half of the Eastern Conference is still in suspense. The Bulls currently have a record of 56 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and leading the Heat by two games.

The Heat are getting better and better, with full stamina, so head coach Tom Thibodeau dare not relax at all. For the home court advantage of the playoffs, the Bulls have to go all out for the remaining 6 games.

The Miami Heat didn't give up either. The Big Three failed to show their overwhelming dominance. Therefore, head coach Spoelstra did not shorten the playing time of the main lineup for home court advantage, and the liver was over!
The Celtics are three games behind the Heat and four games ahead of the No.4 Magic. Coach Rivers is quite satisfied with this ranking, so in the remaining few games , Rivers also began to rest the Big Three, especially Garnett. Of course, he should save some time when he is older...

In the upper half, the Magic lead the Eagles by 8 games and have basically secured the fourth place. The current 4th to 5th places are the Eagles, Knicks, 8ers, and Pacers.

Considering the record of the Bucks, the 4 teams in the bottom half have basically no pressure. If they don't want to pursue the record, for them, the rest of the game is to adjust their state.

ESPN's Sports Center has already begun to warm up for the playoffs, and various football critics have also begun to make their own predictions. The major awards in the regular season have been a topic of crazy discussion recently.

Especially for the best lineup of this season, the back line is very strong. With Li Ze already locked in a spot, it becomes a question of who will be selected for the first team among Kobe, Wade, and Rose.

After all, the MVP of the regular season will definitely be selected for the first team. Li Ze will occupy the pit in advance, and Kobe will be the most affected.

Ross and Wade are basically similar to Kobe's data. When both averaged 25 points per game, the performance of the three of them is almost the same. This makes it difficult for Amelia and other media reporters to choose. Pretty much the same, what should I do?

The media in Los Angeles have been jumping up and down recently to build momentum for Kobe. If Kobe really won three consecutive championships but failed to be selected for the first team, then this selection will be a joke!Hurry up and give up the position to the volute!

The media in Chicago have long thought that Los Angeles is not pleasing to the eye, and they don't buy it at all. The arrogant Lakers came to loan the championship again!If Kobe can't even make it to the Western Conference Finals, then this award will be a complete joke!The future belongs to Ross!Must be selected for a team!
The media in Miami did not admit defeat. As Wade's horse, everyone also began to loan the championship to the Heat. The champion guard is worth a while. The Heat are about to rule the league. Bring the best team to you!
With not much left in the regular season, the media in the three places took the lead in talking about it. Unlike small ball markets, these three teams also have a strong fan base, so under the leadership of the local media , The fans of the three parties also directly pinched.

That is to say, the record of the Thunder team is too good. Otherwise, relying on the addition of household registration and fan base, whether Li Ze can win the MVP will have to be questioned...

Since Annie went out with her mentor, Li Ze, who was resting in Los Angeles, completely let himself go. First, he attended Griffin's private party and played fancy ball games. Then he went to the nightclubs in Los Angeles with his teammates, and practiced a lot more. The ball breakthrough training, fortunately, the physical fitness guaranteed by the A-level energy drink, otherwise I would definitely be exhausted!
On April 4th, on the plane to Denver, Li Ze was still full of energy, and the frequent training with the ball had no effect on him at all, while Durant seemed sluggish, and Guigui was blinded when he got on the plane. Sleeping with your head open, and looking at other people, it's not much better...

"This is the influence of the big ball market? The media in Los Angeles are all crazy these days, the regular season is not over yet, they even talked about the three consecutive championships, and many people quite agree, Shet! The Lakers are only fourth in the Western Conference, where do they have the confidence?"

Since he stayed in Los Angeles for two days, Durant held local news papers in his hands. Thinking of the recent days, the major sports media have begun to be optimistic about the Lakers again, and Durant once again possessed lemon essence.

Li Ze looked at the professional course books in his hand, and said without raising his head:

"Because they are the defending champions! And the Lakers have indeed won three consecutive championships, so this is particularly convincing. Coupled with Kobe's influence, it is not surprising that the Los Angeles media made such remarks."

Durant looked around and saw that his teammates were confused, so he whispered to Li Ze beside him:
"The media reporters in Oklahoma City are too weak, and the local media has no influence!"

"After all, the predecessor of the team was the Seattle Supersonics, and they just moved to Oklahoma City. The situation is definitely not comparable to those in big ball markets, but you can also think about it from another angle. We are reshaping the team culture of the Thunder. Don’t you think it’s a great sense of accomplishment?”

Durant didn't take it seriously in his heart. Big contracts and big cities have always been his pursuit. Although he doesn't know what the future holds, his original intention remains the same. However, in order to maintain his personality, Durant catered to him and said:

"Changing the culture of the city is indeed a wonderful thing. I hope to return to Oklahoma City as soon as possible. I can't wait to play in the playoffs!"

After Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups left the Nuggets, the team's record did not collapse immediately. George Karl still had a few brushes. The starting lineup was mentioned, and Felton, who was traded, became the backup point guard again.

And Gallinari and Wilson Chandler have gradually adapted to life in Denver. The fans here are still very enthusiastic. Although playing on the plateau really made them adapt for a while. The team's condition is getting better and better.

On the night of the 5th, the Pepsi Center Arena in Denver was packed. Amidst the cheers from the fans, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder team which was in poor condition. Thunder.

Coach Brooks noticed that the players were not in good shape, so he started staffing in the second half of the third quarter.

With 12 points behind, the trio continued to play in the fourth quarter, but it was a pity that in the chasing stage, the Thunder's defense had a small problem. When the defensive end could not limit the opponent, the point difference began to fluctuate around 4 points .

98:106, the Nuggets successfully secured their home court.

Li Ze still played steadily, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover efficiently. Durant scored 26 points and Guigui scored 20 points. The trio almost scored all the points directly.

Li Ze frowned slightly when he heard the noisy sound at the scene and looked at the technical statistics in his hand. With Ibaka and Perkins starting, they still lost 6 rebounds to each other. Such statistics must be taken seriously.

Seeing Li Ze's serious expression, Guigui immediately comforted him:
"It's okay, Kayce! After the game against the Clippers the day after tomorrow, we have another game against the Nuggets at home, and then we'll win it back!"

"Of course we have to win back. The away game is finally over. We can also take a good rest when we return to Oklahoma City. The regular season is first. Although there is no official awards ceremony, the team will organize related activities in the last home game. We have to Adjust the state of the game, and it will be embarrassing to lose."

Everyone in the locker room nodded when they heard Li Ze's words. The NBA will only issue a commemorative flag for winning the first place in the Western Conference. Overall, it is similar to last year's Northwest Division championship flag, and there is no sense of ceremony anyway.

Under such circumstances, in order to give back to the fans, the Thunder presented awards to themselves. Although the scene is a bit funny, it is very memorable for the small ball market in Oklahoma City. There is nothing wrong with self-entertainment, and winning at home is also the best gift for the fans.

On April 4, the Thunder returned home and easily defeated the Clippers 6:98 at home.

After a day's rest, everyone in the Thunder team succeeded in revenge at home, 89:110, beating the Nuggets.

In these two games, the trio returned to their previous high efficiency. They scored 80 points in both games, which once again made the media of Amerika sing their praises.

On April 4th, the Thunder will visit Los Angeles again. They will challenge the Lakers away tonight. Since the third-placed Mavericks have opened up the win gap with the Lakers, there is no hope of catching up. Bill Jackson directly rested Kobe.

This made Li Ze a little disappointed. The selection of the best team is about to start. At this time, if he beats Kobe head-on, he will definitely be able to add a lot of points to him. Phil Jackson is another bad guy!

Li Ze, who was not in a good mood, fired all his firepower that night, completely devouring the outside line of the Lakers. Coupled with Durant who punched hard, the Thunder beat the Lakers 120:96 in the away game!
李泽全场16中11，其中3分球6中4，罚球4中3，效率极高的砍下了29分4篮板4助攻1抢断。

Durant also showed an outrageous shooting percentage, 15 of 11, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and also scored 29 points. In addition to the turtle's 22 points, the trio scored 80 again. Points, such a performance completely silenced the media in Los Angeles...

Kobe, dressed in formal attire, has been sinking ever since the Lakers fell behind. He didn't say a word after the loss. After a simple handshake, he turned his head and walked back to the locker room. It was obvious that the Black Mamba was angry again. .

After winning the game, the Thunder didn't have much time to adjust. They flew directly to Sacramento on the second day. They will challenge the Kings back to back that night.

In the case of the bearded players being completely rotten, the Kings were defeated in three quarters, and Cousins ​​didn't care about the outcome of the game at all, and he still dared to fight in garbage time.

Seeing Cousins' performance off the court, Harden curled his lips secretly. The conflict between the two has been completely revealed. In addition, next year is Harden's contract year, and the Kings' management may also have to make a choice. up.

At 121:102, the Thunder beat their opponents again in the away game. The trio easily clocked in three quarters. After winning this game, there is only one home game left in the regular season.

After the game, the bearded player found Li Ze with a depressed face. Harden's current situation is not good. The management of the Kings seems to be more optimistic about Cousins, which makes Harden a little embarrassed. He has never competed for a newcomer!
"Kayce, I'll go to Oklahoma City to cheer for you. I don't know how long this mess will last. I also want to play in the playoffs once."

Seeing that Li Ze has made a name for himself in the league, the bearded golfer was envious to death.

The two have been on par since high school. Although he always loses, the statistics are evenly matched. After entering the NBA, the situation is completely different. Now no one regards them as players of the same level...

"Thanks, Bro! You have been in a bad mood recently. You have to actively speak out in the locker room and be more active on the court. Next year is the contract year. If you want to stay in the Kings, you must let the management see your attitude. The club here is really good!"

When Harden heard the first half of Li Ze's words, he still had a serious face, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately smiled knowingly, and everyone remained unchanged!The two hugged and greeted, and after a long exchange of pleasantries, Li Ze walked back to the dressing room.

On the night of April 4th, another seat was added to the Ford Center arena. Oklahoma City fans are ready, and tonight is the party time for everyone.

The Bucks in the away game have no intention of fighting. They lost consecutively in the final stage and got the chance of the playoffs. Finally, they handed over to the Pacers...

Brandon Jennings wanted to perform well, and played proactively after the opening game. Unfortunately, this Mamba protege hit the iron frame, and then made consecutive mistakes. He made 6 of 1 in a single quarter and directly led to the collapse of the Bucks.

At 16:32, the Thunder led by 16 points in the first quarter, which made the fans in Oklahoma City even more excited. What is number one in the Western Conference?The audience sitting in their seats collectively leaned back tactically...

In the last regular season game, the team took a big lead again, which made Coach Brooks feel very comfortable. After the start of the second quarter, he gradually increased the rotation.

Eric Maynor, Daequan Cook, Byron Mullens, Nate Robinson and Royal Ervey also got the opportunity to appear.

In the fiery atmosphere of the scene, the Bucks collapsed to the end and lost the game cleanly. 92:109, the Thunder ended perfectly at home.

At this time, the Ford Center Arena has become a sea of ​​jubilation. Driven by the on-site DJ, many fans are shouting happily. This is nothing short of a miracle for the Oklahoma City small ball market.

The home commentator Twain made a guest appearance as the host tonight. At this time, everyone from the Thunder came to the center of the field. Except for the fan activities for a while, what is going on now is the tainted milk session.

Coach Brooks took the microphone, first waved to the fans with a smile on his face, and then immediately said:
"Thank you very much for your support, this is a perfect season for us, 69 wins and 13 losses, I think we have created a miracle!"

Hearing what Coach Brooks said, the Oklahoma City fans on the scene burst into cheers again. The Thunder tied the 71-win record of the Lakers in the 72-96 season and the Bulls in the 97-69 season, the best record in the league. Tied for second in the NBA, second only to the 95-win Bulls in the 96-72 season, this is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement!
"It's too early to say thanks. I hope everyone will continue to support the Thunder. Our journey has just begun!"

Amidst the cheers at the scene, Tewen, who was a temporary guest host, began to interview the players on the team again. When Li Ze took the microphone, all the Oklahoma City fans at the scene booed and shouted:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Li Ze continued to applaud the audience around him, and when the sound gradually died down, he said with a smile on his face:

"Wow! You are really the best fans in the league, thank you again for your support, we got the first place in the league, we almost tied the best record in the league, but it's not enough, like me this season As I said earlier, we have only one goal this season, and that is the championship! This year, we will definitely bring the championship back to Oklahoma City!"

"Oh!"

Li Ze's arrogant words ignited the atmosphere of the scene again, and the fans of Oklahoma City were completely happy at this moment.

The simple activity of giving back to the fans allows everyone to have a short opportunity to speak. Amid the crazy poisonous milk of everyone, Li Ze also laughed happily:

"The stage for the playoffs has been set, whoever is the protagonist, let's use basketball to speak!"

As the regular season came to an end, the situation of the Eastern and Western playoffs was completely clear.

In the Western Conference, the Hornets led by Chris Paul successfully led the Grizzlies by one game with their outstanding performance in the final stage, and won the 7th place, while the 5th and 6th places remained unchanged.

So the final matchup in the West is:
Thunder VS Grizzlies, Lakers VS Nuggets; Spurs VS Hornets, Mavericks VS Trail Blazers.

If all the teams in the upper half advance, the semifinals in the Western Conference will be full of topics. The Thunder and the Lakers, the Mavericks and the Spurs, such a matchup will be full of interest for the audience!
Compared with the West, the final matchup of the Eastern Conference is also as expected:
Bulls VS Pacers, Magic VS Eagles; Heat VS 76ers, Celtics VS Knicks.

The Bulls finally achieved 62 wins, which is also the second-ranked record in the league this season. Although completely suppressed by Li Ze, Derrick Rose still received wide acclaim from the American media.

Compared with the West, the biggest attraction in the East is the Heat. Whether the Big Three can play a dominant role in the first playoffs together makes many fans look forward to the performance of the Heat.

On April 4th, the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were all smiling, and the NBA announced the leaders in various statistics this season.

李泽凭借着场均28.8分5.8篮板5.2助攻1.5失误1.4抢断0.6盖帽的数据拿到了得分王。

But the average scoring data is not enough to explain Li Ze's horror. With 53.8% shooting percentage, 38.1% three-point shooting percentage, and 87.3% free throw shooting percentage, Li Ze is infinitely close to the 180 club!
Amelia's media reporters and football critics are completely confused. They are too fierce. They are just 20 years old and are about to enter the 180 club. There is no need to doubt that Li Ze will definitely rule the outside line of the league in the future!
Kevin Love won the rebounding title, Steve Nash won the assists title, Bogut won the blocked shots title, and Chris Paul beat Rajon Rondo to win the steals title.

On the Hupu forum, the fans are directly celebrating the new year, the scoring leader!Although they knew that Li Ze was fierce, many fans were dumbfounded by the fact that he was close to the 180 club scoring champion.

"It's awesome! I can't blow it anymore, I can only shout Li Ze awesome!"

"Thinking about it again, there are still many games that are played in three quarters. The data can no longer explain Li Zeniu's place. The first scorer is well-deserved. Certain groups should stop touching porcelain."

"Hehe, it's just a false name. Crouching Tiger's playoffs have already been stabilized. This year, they won three consecutive championships. Volute is about to surpass Jordan. The No. 1 in history is the best!"

"Here we go again. Waiting for the Western Conference semifinals to be beaten. The Lakers' regular season will not work. Who gave you the courage to loan the championship? Look at Kobe's stats, there is no comparison with Li Ze!"

"The Thunder didn't play well in the first round. After all, they still met the Grizzlies. It would be great if they could match the Hornets. The Grizzlies are still too strong inside."

"The main reason is that the game is not good, the Grizzlies are too slow!"

"Heat champion, I, Zhan, have stabilized this year, the schedule is too easy!"

"Tsk tsk, Jamies are really good at bragging. If you get double-killed in the regular season, you'll still be the champion!"

"Stop arguing, wait for me to bring the news over, remember to leave a message, the top scorer also has a trophy!"

The scoring trophy once again made Li Ze unable to complain. Although Li Ze complained once when Durant won the award last year, but seeing that it is still a rectangular transparent crystal this year, Li Ze still feels that the league is not good at this award. Too much attention...

Winning the award in Oklahoma City also made it easier for America's media reporters to interview Li Ze. After all, the playoffs will start on the 17th. The topic of this press conference is still the playoffs:

"Kayce, congratulations on winning the scoring title this season. The Grizzlies beat you in the regular season. Can you briefly talk about your expectations for the playoffs?"

"The playoffs are completely different from the regular season. Compared to the Grizzlies, we are a more experienced team. After all, we reached the Western Conference finals last year. The Grizzlies are a good team, but I don't think they will. Troubled us!"

"As I said before, the only thing that can limit me is the rules. In the game the day after tomorrow, we will completely destroy the Grizzlies' perimeter."

In order to receive the scoring champion award, Li Ze was forced to put on a formal suit. Although he looked like a handsome boy next door at this time, his words were a bit impolite. The attitude made the reporters in Memphis a little uncomfortable.

However, most of the Amelia's media reporters like Li Ze's answer, the more arrogant the better, so that there will be topics, and after polishing it, it will be easy to make a big job...

"Facing the Grizzlies' perimeter defense, will you change your fast-paced style of play?"

"Perhaps Coach Brooks is more suitable to answer such questions. Haha, the coach will answer tactical questions at the pre-match press conference on the 17th!"

"Kayce, can you talk about your views on the best team? Who do you think is more suitable to enter the best team at the back?"

"Wow! This question is good. If I were to vote, I would vote for Derrick Rose. The record of 62 wins is very remarkable, and Rose is the No. 1 position, so, you know!"

Li Ze's answer made many reporters' eyes shine again. To do things, you have to do things crazily!
"Kayce, can you talk about your personal life, are you actually dating Shakira?"

"... "

On April 4th, the first round of the playoffs of the 16~2010 season officially started. There were four games on that day, three in the Eastern Conference and one in the Western Conference.

All the games were uneventful, as everyone predicted, the teams in the upper half generally won the game, only the game between the Magic and the Eagles was surprising.

With Warcraft Howard scoring 46 points, 19 rebounds and 1 assist, the Magic still lost.

Joe Johnson and Li Ze showed their hips when facing each other, but facing Nelson, Richardson, Turkoglu, the chicken king became the eagle king in seconds, plus the super sixth man Jamal Crawford Excellent performance, 6:103, the Eagles beat the Magic.

There is no suspense in the rest of the game. The Bulls, Heat, and Mavericks all won easily. The teams in the upper half are very stable!

On the night of April 4, the Thunder played against the Grizzlies at home. In the first game of the playoffs, Oklahoma City fans entered the stadium early.

In the first round of the playoffs, the team's uniform team provided home fans with white cheering T-shirts.

The style of this T-shirt is similar to that of last year. It is still printed on the chest. Overall, it is simple and atmospheric. At this time, the scene has become a sea of ​​white, and the venue is extremely noisy.

Of course, this game was broadcast live across the United States. In the commentary booth of TNT, Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr could not help but exclaim when they saw the frenzied atmosphere:
"Compared to last year's playoffs, the enthusiasm of the fans in Oklahoma City has not diminished. Perhaps this is the best home stadium in the league. Look at these enthusiastic fans. They will definitely become the best sixth man on the field!"

As a steadfast Li Zechuan, Reggie Miller's ass has long been on the side of the Thunder. Steve Kerr smiled slightly and echoed:
"Such a home court is also a test for the Grizzlies. In the Grizzlies, only Zachran Dorff has experienced the playoffs, but that is a long time ago. At that time, Randolph was still in the Trail Blazers. Team, as a playoff recruit, the Grizzlies may have to adjust their mentality in the away game!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan took over the conversation at this time and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides:
"Unfortunately, due to injury, Rudy Gay may miss this year's playoffs. The two teams are still in regular rotation tonight. Coach Hollins still chooses Sam Young as the starter. The third position, and the head coach of Brooks also let Perkins, who has just returned from injury, serve as the starting center."

After the starting list was determined, Steve Kerr immediately introduced the highlights of the game:
"Judging from the matchups in the regular season, the Grizzlies have a huge inside advantage. In tonight's game, let's see how the Thunder's inside will perform after Perkins comes to the starting lineup!"

"Maybe tonight will be a defensive battle, lock on TNT, the game is about to begin!"

Through the regular season, the two sides know each other's tactics very well. Although many ball critics believe that the lack of Rudy Gay has greatly reduced the strength of the Grizzlies, the Thunder's coaching staff dare not take it lightly.

The most obvious change in the second half of the Grizzlies regular season is that the ball was distributed to the inside, and Randolph and Gasol were completely liberated.

Just over three minutes into the opening game, Oklahoma City fans were already worried about the team's inside line. Seeing Randolph once again relying on his black and fat body to crush to the basket to complete the throw, the Ford Center Arena erupted immediately. Out loud boos:
"Shh!"

At 9:9, the Grizzlies showed their resilience after the start.

"Very good defense, Serge, control your own fouls, don't worry about the team's offense!"

Taking advantage of the baseline kick, Li Ze comforted Ibaka here. Facing the experienced Randolph, the cute new Ibaka is destined not to take advantage. As for Perkins, the Facing Gasol is also a little powerless, the height gap is too big, I can't stand it...

After Turtle received the ball, he dribbled halfway through the court and immediately called his teammates to complete their positions. The Thunder did not blindly seek speed. Considering the opponent's rebounding ability, once they missed consecutive hits, there was a high probability that they would not be able to grab rebounds. Therefore, the offensive success rate after the opening is very important.

Standing in the bottom corner on the right, Durant took the lead to move. With the cover of Ibaka, he came to the right wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball. After passing the ball, the turtle immediately cut inside and took away Michael Conley who was defending him. .

Sam Young's pursuit was very fast. As soon as Durant held the ball with his left hand, the defense was already in place. At this time, Li Ze in the three-second zone took advantage of Perkins' cover and quickly came to the left block position Go up, firmly stuck Tony Allen with his body, and immediately raised his hands behind his back to ask for the ball.

After Durant sent a lob pass at the top of the arc, he immediately stayed in place to open up the offensive space for Li Ze.

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

In the rhythmic sound of cheering on the scene, Li Ze, who received the pass, leaned back hard, then quickly released the ball with his right hand, and hit it twice. At this time, Tony Allen had already exerted all his strength, Don't let Li Ze get close to the basket easily.

Although he couldn't get close to the basket, Li Ze had already found his offensive rhythm after two dribbles. His shoulders trembled confusingly, and then, using his left foot as the axis, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball backwards, and his body quickly twisted forward. Forced, ignoring Tony Allen's block, and made a mid-range fadeaway jumper.

"Shua..." The two-pointer was hit steadily.

"Excellent fadeaway jumper, most players in the league have abandoned this technology, but after seeing Kayce's performance, I believe many players will choose to practice during the offseason. Sometimes the fadeaway jumper is unsolvable. Look at Tony Allen's reaction!"

Steve Kerr smiled again and sent compliments to Li Ze.

The wonderful goal caused huge cheers in the Ford Center Arena. Li Ze chuckled at Tony Allen, then retreated immediately, and at the same time signaled his teammates to continue to defend the 23 zone defense.

Coach Hollins frowned on the sidelines. After the opening, the Thunder did not speed up the offensive rhythm as they did in the regular season, nor did they frequently shoot three-pointers. Instead, they gave the ball more The positions of the two blocking areas are completely different from what he guessed before the game.

What made the coaching staff of the Grizzlies even more troublesome was that Tony Allen couldn't effectively limit Li Ze at all. The indiscriminate attack between left and right hands, coupled with his height advantage, made Li Ze a huge threat every time he caught the ball.

In the next few minutes, the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. Coach Brooks could feel that the team's condition was getting better and better. Never missed a shot, this efficiency also makes the coaching staff completely at ease.

Entering the official timeout, with the score at 14:16, on the Grizzlies' bench, coach Hollins knew a change had to be made. Amid the din of the Ford Center, Hollins raised his volume , Shouting to his team members:

"Tony, then you guard Durant, Sam, you guard Lee, show your aggression, don't be afraid of fouls, Game 1, we're going to be free, remember guys, a series There are winners and losers, don't worry about losing, show our energy!"

At this time, Durant was still drinking water on the bench, unaware that the Grizzlies' defensive strategy had changed...
