The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 232 The Corrective Power of History (The Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
Most of the playoffs in the 2010~2011 season showed a one-sided trend, so the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bulls and the Eagles has attracted much attention.

Although the NBA warmed up for the game very early, after the game ended on the night of the 10th, most of the fans' first reactions were:

"That's it?"

"What about the fierce battle of Tianwang Mountain?"

The Bulls played a very efficient offense in the first quarter and easily established a lead.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the Bulls suppressed the Eagles most of the time. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles' offense suddenly lost power, and the game completely lost suspense.

At 83:95, the Bulls returned to the home court and easily won the battle of Tianwangshan. The big score came to 3:2, and the Bulls successfully won the match point.

Derrick Rose once again scored 33 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 turnovers. This performance also attracted media reporters from America to tout. for a while.
Li Ze did not watch the match, after all, he and Lily Collins relived their old dreams that night, and the friendly match was extremely intense.

On the morning of the 11th, after another morning overtime match, Li Ze ate his breakfast refreshed.

"Why didn't you choose Los Angeles in the first place? Oklahoma City is too small, and it's not suitable for your development at all. Whether it's music or basketball, you need a bigger platform."

As soon as the two finished the overtime match, Lily Collins' tone seemed a bit coquettish, but seeing Li Ze eating breakfast for three people by himself, she gave him a helpless look.

"I'm only 20 years old. Don't worry about many things. Many industries need time to settle down. Music is like this, and basketball is the same. Even in Hollywood, there is no actor who won an Oscar at the age of 20!"

Seeing Li Ze pretending to be stupid, the famous lady A gave him a hard look. Does she care about her career?

"But Los Angeles is indeed very suitable for you. If you stop filming, we will be able to see each other often. Your friends are all here!"

Lily Collins, who was only wearing a bulky white T-shirt, moved to Li Ze's side, blinking her big eyes as if trying to tempt Li Ze to agree to something, Li Ze put down the knife and fork in his hand, feeling a little helpless in his heart, is the show possessed?
"In 09, I filmed "The Weakness", which ran a lot of publicity, and then filmed "The Exorcist". This movie is really bad, but in the first half of the year, I followed the crew again."

"In October there will be "Do Not Escape". After two months, you have to continue to follow and meet often? My big star! Come to coax the children?"

Seeing that Li Ze ruthlessly exposed her excuses, she became furious at the famous lady A, and directly resorted to murder, making trouble for no reason, straddling Li Ze angrily, and complained loudly:
"I just want to see you in Los Angeles. When I am resting, you have to go shopping and watch movies with me, just like in high school and college. Isn't it good to enjoy life together?"

Li Ze hugged the furious pair A celebrity in his arms, smoothed his hair, comforted him on the surface, but curled his lips secretly in his heart.

This woman, like her old lady, who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, has a small abacus. If he doesn't do well, the woman who successfully broke into Hollywood must have forgotten him long ago.

Besides, there are ready-made role models. Phil Collins is a successful scumbag. The forest cannot give up either.

"There will be a private jet next year. If you want me, you can come by plane. Of course, for my big star, I can also be on call."

As soon as Lily Collins heard Li Ze's words, her eyes lit up immediately. The more she looked at Li Ze, the more handsome she became, and she hugged Li Ze without letting go. Then she said happily:

"This is what you promised, and now Phil can't control me!"

As soon as Li Ze heard what he said about the famous lady A, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. The old man has always been very strict with his daughter's spending. If he knew that Li Ze not only slapped his precious daughter, but also spent money lavishly, he would have to come from England immediately
On the evening of the 11th, the Heat and the Celtics officially kicked off in G5 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Although the critics are unanimously optimistic that the Heat can advance, the performance of Wade and James that night still surprised many people.

韦德本场比赛19中13，罚球15中8，高效砍下34分10篮板5助攻4抢断3失误。

勒布朗-詹姆斯则20中11，其中三分球7中5，罚球9中6，同样高效拿到33分7篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽5失误。

Coupled with Chris Bosh's double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds, the young Big Three at home completely beat the old Big Three.

87:97，热火队在G5结束的战斗，大比分4:1淘汰掉了去年打进总决赛的凯尔特人队。

After the game, the journalists of America's media all shouted that a new era is coming.

The Thunder eliminated the Lakers, and the Heat eliminated the Celtics. The old guys have completely bid farewell to the stage of the finals. The young Big Three are awesome!

On May 5, Li Ze returned to Oklahoma City again, and the Thunder will also start preparing for the Western Conference Finals.

In the training class in the afternoon, head coach Brooks led everyone to watch the Mavericks' playoff performance edited by the coaching staff, and then the assistant coach led everyone to carry out recovery training.

"The Mavericks' opponents are too weak, and it feels like they made it to the Western Conference Finals without exerting their strength."

Durant is in a good mood recently, and his agent, Kleiman, has already confirmed that he has successfully unlocked all the additional terms of the sneaker contract after reaching the Western Conference Finals.

If he enters the finals again, Nike will still have a generous bonus, and the next generation of star boots will fully consider his opinions, and there will never be any more perfunctory situations.

It's true to get a beautiful knife. Although the attention is not as good as Li Ze, Durant doesn't care now. The joy of a good harvest!
The sneaker contract was worth 1400 million US dollars. Although a lot of taxes were deducted, Durant was still very excited, which caused him to start spending like crazy in the past two days...

"The main reason is that the Hornets actually defeated the Spurs. This result was beyond the expectation of the Mavericks. However, watching the video, it is obvious that Tyson Chandler and the Mavericks have gotten along better."

As soon as Guigui finished speaking, Ibaka and Perkins on the side became sad again.

The Thunder's interior was deeply affected by the short rotation. The Lakers Twin Towers tired these two, but in the next round they encountered the Mavericks' interior with one offense and one defense. The two didn't want to talk...

"The Mavericks mainly revolve around Nowitzki, the low singles near the two blocks, the pick-and-roll cooperation after the line screen, and everything else is easy to say. If you really encounter a explosive three-pointer, the game will be completely difficult. "

What Li Ze said was the truth. The unlucky Chris Paul was shot to death by the Mavericks. The whole series was helpless. The shooting ability of the two teams is not at the same level.

"We have the home court advantage, so we will definitely beat each other! Come to my house to watch the game tonight. 2K has also released a patch. It seems that Kayce's data has been updated. Let's compete again at that time."

The inflated Durant doesn't pay attention to the Mavericks. This guy is currently full of thoughts of reaching the finals and continuing to get money. The Mavericks are just a stepping stone!

"Good idea, I'll use the Heat this time!"

"... "

On the night of the 12th, the final match of the semi-finals officially started.

When the fans thought that the Eagles at home would struggle, the Eagles collapsed.

At 93:73, the Bulls in the away game directly blasted their opponents. Carlos Boozer played well and smashed the inside of the Eagles. Derrick Rose scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 turnovers. double data.

So far, the final 4 teams are officially announced, the Eastern Conference, the Bulls VS the Heat; the Western Conference, the Thunder vs. the Mavericks.

On the morning of May 5th, the broadcasters of the Eastern and Western finals began to warm up for the game.

This season ESPN will be responsible for broadcasting the Western Conference Finals, while TNT will be responsible for broadcasting the Eastern Conference Finals.

Since the Eastern Conference Finals will be officially launched on May 5th, TNT made an advance notice and announced the on-site commentator by the way. It is still the golden combination that fans are familiar with, Mav Alpert, Steve Kerr, and Reggie Miller.

TNT also began to introduce the recent situation of the two teams on the Inside The NBA program.

"I must admit that before the start of the season, I still underestimated the Heat. They were able to eliminate the Celtics cleanly. This team has shown the temperament of a championship."

Kenny Smith admitted his mistake first when he came up. Obviously, the performance of the Heat has won his respect.

"As I said before, as long as the Big Three perform normally, the opponent has no chance. Although the Bulls have a good record in the regular season, they are competing for stars in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Bulls only have one superstar. .”

Charles Barkley still firmly believes that the Heat can reach the finals, and the host Ernie Johnson immediately asked after hearing what the two said:
"Guys, are you really not optimistic about the Bulls? Derry Cross performed very well in the first two rounds of the series. I think we must give enough respect. The Bulls are definitely underestimated!"

"Although Rose has performed very well this season, there are seven games in the series. The Heat's fault tolerance rate is too high, and I think there is still a gap between the two teams in terms of absolute strength."

Charles Barkley heard Kenny Smith's words and immediately gave his opinion:

"The outside shooting of the Bulls has always been a problem. If Rose is replaced by Kayce, the Bulls will have a higher chance of winning. Kayce is more suitable for the Bulls than Rose."

Hear such views.Kenny Smith laughed a little, and then said again:
"Come on man! MVP is suitable for any team. I predict that the Bulls will win two home games, but in the end the Heat will win the game."

Hearing what his old partner said, Charles Barkley no longer refuted, but immediately said:
"The Heat are very likely to sweep the Bulls. I think the score will end up being 4:1, and the Heat will advance easily."

"... "

That night, the Eastern Conference finals officially started. Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Bulls, who were playing at home, blasted the Heat from outside.

The Bulls scored 21 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, rebounded 45:33, and were fully suppressed inside and outside. In the end, they beat the Heat 103:82, ushered in a good start, and led by a big score of 1:0.

Derry Cross scored 28 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 4 turnovers, which made the media reporters in Amelia tout again.

One person resists the Big Three, Ross Niu X!

In this game, both Wade and James stretched their hips at the same time. Wade only scored 18 points, and James only scored 15 points. Fortunately, Bosh scored 30 points, otherwise the loss in tonight's game would be even worse.
On the second day after the end of the game, everyone was discussing the sluggish performance of the Heat's Big Three. Various ball critics analyzed carefully and finally came to a conclusion:
The Bulls are too defensive inside, and the Heat can't shoot outside!
The media reporters from all walks of life discussed it, and for some reason, they talked about Li Ze. In the series against the Lakers, Li Ze's outside shooting percentage exceeded 6%, which is close to the data of inside players. !

The more the critics think about Li Ze, the more awesome they are, and finally discussing the Heat team has become a fancy touting of Li Ze.
On the 16th, Magic Johnson was a guest on ESPN's show. This big guy joined ESPN's network department in 08, and the show was mainly for the sake of working.

"Maggie (Magic), have you talked with Kobe recently? It's a pity to see the Lakers stop in the semifinals, and today we have to discuss the performance of the Thunder. I hope you don't mind today's topic."

As soon as the host's voice fell, Magic Johnson laughed, and then the boss said quite heartily:
"It doesn't matter. This is the NBA. There will always be outstanding young people. I haven't talked with Kobe recently. The dynasty is over. I think we should give him some time. As for the Thunder, I appreciate them very much."

"Kayce also performed impeccably in the series against the Lakers. His skills are very comprehensive, and there are no dead ends on the offensive end. Considering that he is 20 years old, his future is absolutely limitless."

"For tomorrow night's game, what kind of predictions will you make? The Mavericks don't seem to have been challenged much in the first two rounds, and Nowitzki's shooting percentage is close to 6%. Somewhat similar."

Magic Johnson pondered briefly, then said seriously:
"It depends on the performance of the superstars of the two teams. If Kayce can maintain the super high efficiency of the last round of the series, then I believe that no team in the league is their opponent."

"The Mavericks have relied heavily on three-point shooting this season, which is also their instability. But the first game is in Oklahoma City. I believe the Thunder will successfully protect their home court. Tomorrow night's game will definitely be A great matchup."

"Let's talk about this offseason again. I believe the Lakers will still be a strong contender for the championship next season. For this offseason, Maggie, do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing the host's question, Magic Johnson grinned again, and then said in an exaggerated tone with joy:

"I will choose to accumulate chips this year. If I am the manager of the Lakers, I will take a big move next year and bring Kayce back to Los Angeles. Haha, he can play No. 1. He will become the most terrifying backcourt combination in the league with Kobe!"

"."

Once the ESPN program was broadcast, it immediately aroused widespread heated discussions. As we all know, the Lakers really like to buy superstars, so what Magic Johnson said is interesting. Are the Lakers going to spend money again?

The Lakers fans jumped up and down excitedly, and the Oklahoma City fans were furious when they heard such remarks. Fans from both sides began to spray each other on Twitter again, and many fans even directly left messages on Li Ze's social media.

When Li Ze checked Twitter at night, he realized that the ESPN program had started to work again. When he thought that so many people believed such outrageous remarks, he felt a little speechless:

"Join the Lakers? Give Kobe a shot? Help him win another championship? There is everything in the dream, stepping on the top is the kingly way!"

On the evening of the 17th, Oklahoma City fans came to the Ford Center Arena early, and they reached the Western Conference Finals in the second year, which made everyone very excited.

The uniform team prepared dark blue cheering T-shirts and a white handkerchief for the fans. Half an hour before the start of the game, the venue was almost full.

Tickets are in short supply. Although nearly 2 people have been added, many Oklahoma City fans are still complaining about not being able to buy tickets. Unlike other small ball markets, Oklahoma City has the highest attendance in the league, and the fans are particularly loyal.

Before the start of the game, in the locker room of the home team, Coach Brooks started the chicken soup speech before the game:
"As a young team, being able to reach the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years is enough to show our success. In tonight's game, we must play for each other, unite on the court, and protect every backcourt rebound."

"Don't be impatient, play steadily, 2 Oklahoma City fans are our best sixth man, and victory is the best gift for the fans!"

Everyone in the Thunder team was encouraged by coach Brooks' chicken soup, and immediately yelled, and then the big brother Collison organized everyone into a group and yelled loudly:
"yeah!"

"Wan, spitting, breaking, logging tired!"

When the DJ at the scene introduced the players of the home team, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to shout, and the atmosphere became more and more heated. In the player tunnel of the visiting team, everyone on the Mavericks looked calm.

Most of the players are seasoned veterans, but Deshaun Stevenson was a little nervous.

In this game, he will be facing off against Li Ze. When he thinks that Kobe has been beaten by Li Ze, he feels a little scared. When he thinks of Li Ze playing against him in the regular season, Deshaun-Stevenson becomes very unconfident.

Amidst the boos, all the Mavericks players also appeared on the stage.

At this moment, the scene lights up, and in the ESPN commentary booth, the commentator Mike Brin, the guests Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson stood in front of the camera with a smile on their faces.

"The Thunder are still in the regular rotation tonight, and Coach Carlisle has not adjusted the starting lineup of the Mavericks."

"Jason Kidd and DeShawn Stevenson in the backcourt, Shawn Marion and Dirk Nowitzki in the front, Tyson Chandler in the center, for this game, the two What to expect?"

The commentator Mike Breen briefly introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and then immediately asked questions.

"Nowitzki shot 55.3% in the playoffs, and in the first two rounds of the Mavericks, the rebounds have always been able to suppress the opponent. Tonight's game, the performance of the star players and the rebounds are all The key factor."

Jeff Van Gundy briefly introduced Nowitzki's efficiency and the rebounding situation of the Mavericks. Mark Jackson also said quickly at this time:

"As Jeff said, Kayce shot 63.5 percent from the perimeter last round, which is a pretty amazing stat!"

"I'm looking forward to what kind of defensive choices the Mavericks will make. A single defense can't limit Kayce's performance, not to mention Durant is also a super scorer. This is definitely a huge challenge for the Mavericks."

"I look forward to both sides bringing us a wonderful Western Conference finals, continue to lock ESPN, we will be back soon!"

The players on both sides were doing the final warm-up. Li Ze looked calm. He had fully adjusted his physical condition. When he noticed that the tortoise next to him was hitting the iron again, the corner of his mouth twitched.

The game was about to start, and Coach Brooks called the players to his side, took out the tactical board, and once again ordered the defensive strategy for this game:

"At the beginning, let's guard the man first, and the big man pays attention to fouls. If Nowitzki is in a good state, then it will become a zone defense. Pay attention to Chandler's rebounds. Don't worry at the beginning, we must hit the success rate."

On the other side, the head coach Carlisle is giving the players a psychological massage. With Kidd controlling the rhythm of the team, there is no need to emphasize tactics too much.

"Sean, defend Durant and pay attention to the position. After the opening, don't shoot too many three-pointers. You all know the opponent's transition offensive ability. As for Lee, just do your best. Our task is to win the next one." Away, and limit Durant's performance."

When the referee signaled for the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, all the Oklahoma City fans stood up, led by DJ, and began to cheer for the home team loudly:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

Ibaka and Chandler stood in the middle circle, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the two jumped instantly.

"Snapped!"

Under the blessing of the home atmosphere, Ibaka successfully jumped to the ball for the Thunder. Amidst the huge cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, Turtle dribbled slowly through the half court, noticing that the Mavericks chose to man-to-man defense, and immediately made an offensive gesture.

Durant ran diagonally from right to left to the left block position, while Li Ze ran from left to right, with the help of Perkins' cover, quickly came to the right block area.

Still in a "V"-shaped position, Ibaka and Perkins mentioned the left and right elbows at the same time after completing a simple screen.

The offense is concentrated within the three-point line. This is also the game strategy formulated by the Thunder. After the opening, the shooting of three-pointers is reduced. Kidd is a master of conversion. Go for a rebound.

Marion's defense against Durant was very targeted, and he pushed Durant beyond the three-point line as much as possible, while DeShawn Stevenson was sat behind by Li Ze. The first attempt to go around the front and defend all failed.

Seeing that Li Ze successfully took the position, Guigui who was on the line quickly came to the left flank with the help of Perkins' cover, and then immediately sent a lob pass.

Catching the ball with his back, Deshaun Stevenson has been using his forearm to withstand Li Ze's back. At the moment of catching the ball, before he had time to feel the specific body movement, he found that Li Ze was taking the ball with his left foot as the axis. Turned directly to the baseline, and shot the fadeaway jumper directly
"Shh!"

"Kayce! Fade away! Oh! It's good!"

After catching the ball, the shot was completed instantly. The commentator Mike Breen saw Li Ze's smooth movements, and immediately shouted passionately.

Cheers erupted in the Ford Center arena. Seeing Li Ze hit the opening goal, the Oklahoma City fans happily sat on their seats, and then waved the white handkerchiefs in their hands. The scene was full of joy.

After scoring the goal, Li Ze looked calm. If the Mavericks choose to defend alone, then Li Ze intends to shoot the opponent completely, and he is not interested in talking trash to DeShawn Stevenson.

After all, the MVP is already a big boss. It would be too embarrassing to provoke a role player. His face is paralyzed and cold, and he is done. He has to learn from Kobe. A player who has never won a championship is not worthy of talking trash with a black mamba.
The Mavericks sent out the baseline ball, Kidd dribbled across half court, Nowitzki immediately made a cross screen with Tyson Chandler on the baseline, and then quickly came to the right block position.

After receiving Kidd's pass, Nowitzki faced Ibaka's defense. After a simple three-threat, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and twisted his body slightly backward to make a dry jumper.

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

"It seems that both Kayce and Nowitzki are in very good condition. Both sides are good at attacking in the block position. Let's see how the two teams will adjust their defense in the future."

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy's voice fell, Li Ze quickly bounced to the left flank outside the three-point line with the help of Perkins' cover in the three-second zone.

After receiving the pass from the tortoise, he swayed and successfully moved Deshaun Stevenson's defensive center of gravity forward, then immediately lowered his body's center of gravity, and released the ball with his right hand. After a big dribble, he drifted slightly. A twisted long two-point jumper shot.

"Knocks it down!"

Seeing Li Ze's crisp goal, Mike Breen raised his commentary volume again.

Deshaun Stevenson was numb, he found that Li Ze seemed to be more powerful than the regular game.

His defensive center of gravity had just shifted this time, and Li Ze directly dribbled a strong shot, which made him unable to react at all, and just stood there in a daze.

Li Ze, who returned to defense, smiled inwardly. The combination of the golden [First Step Master] + [Hot Zone Hunter] + [Rhythm Shooter] + [Strong Shooting Master] badge gave his projection a terrifying bonus.

The most important thing is that as the number of shots increases, the copper-colored [Enter the Rhythm] badge can also be added. The first iron single defense is doomed to be ineffective. The Lakers have already proved this point. At present, it seems that the Mavericks have no plans to double-team.

In the next few minutes, the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. The Mavericks' offense did not completely rely on Nowitzki. Once the super power forward received the ball in the block position, the Mavericks players began to cut without the ball.

The same tactic, cutting around Nowitzki, Marion threw off Durant's defense and scored two points at the basket.

Looking back, facing Durant's offense, Marion used his wingspan to form interference, making Durant hit the iron.

One attack and one defense made Durant very angry. He found that the referee in this game was extremely lax about pulling and punishing the blocking position, which made him a little uncomfortable when receiving the ball in the block position. Marion's cross The moving speed is still faster than Artest.
The pace of the game between the two sides was not slow, and the first quarter soon entered the official timeout. The battle between the two sides ended at 1:14, and both sides showed extremely high offensive efficiency.

"It seems that the players on both sides are well-prepared. Neither team relies too much on their own star players. On the Thunder side, Ibaka and Perkins also scored, and Marion of the Mavericks played well. This is a little different from what we expected."

Jeff Van Gundy thought that this game would be a defensive battle, but he didn't expect that after the start, the offense of both sides would fly. Mark Jackson suddenly interjected:
"This has a lot to do with the defensive strategies of both sides. The star players of both teams have huge restraining power, and in single-defense situations, they are almost unrestricted. I think Coach Carlisle needs to change his defensive strategy in the second half."

After the official timeout came back, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and the Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to cheer for the team again:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

Li Ze came to the left elbow with the help of Ibaka's cover. When he received the pass from the turtle, Kidd, who was on the line, gave up the defense against the turtle and went straight to Li Ze.

At the moment when Kidd was about to defend in place, Li Ze quickly distributed the ball to the turtle on the outside. What surprised him was that Kidd did not immediately return to defense, but chose to stand in the elbow area and got stuck in Li Ze Between the tortoise and the tortoise.

Facing the opportunity of an open shot, Guigui hesitated for a moment, and then made an open three-point jumper.

"Bang!" Angrily hit an iron.

Tyson Chandler successfully protected the backcourt rebound, and then quickly gave the ball to Kidd who responded. The Mavericks launched a conversion attack.

Durant, who received the ball and faced the back defense, did not forcefully attack. Instead, he sent the ball forward. Nowitzki, who was down quickly, received the ball and relied on Ibaka's defense.

"Shh!"

After the goal, Nowitzki raised his arms and roared. The superstar in this game is in very good condition.

Seeing Nowitzki score again, the Ford Center Arena erupted with huge boos immediately, and the Mavericks' first conversion attack was completed. The head coach Brooks next to him noticed this situation and immediately made an offensive gesture.

This time the Thunder team's offense first started with several consecutive hand-to-hand cooperation on the outside, then Li Ze ran diagonally, came to the right block position and asked for the ball with his back, Durant at the top of the arc moved to the right with the ball, and then Send the lob pass.

The Mavericks adopted the same defensive strategy. Marion once again gave up Durant's defense, went straight to Li Ze, and cooperated with DeShawn Stevenson to complete the double-team.

One of the two blocks off the line and the other seals off the line. Seeing that the Mavericks are so resolute in double-teaming, Li Ze secretly complained in his heart. Then, before the double-teaming formed, he took a step across and quickly gave the ball to Durant on the outside.

The latter received the ball, made no adjustments, and shot an open three-point jumper.

"Bang!" Another strike.

Nowitzki under the basket received the rebound, and the Mavericks launched a conversion attack again. Kidd's advancement was very fast. Dele.

After the latter received the ball, he was directly fouled by Perkins tactically. This was also the Thunder's fifth foul, and the team has entered a state of extra penalty.

Durant, who was playing iron, was a little annoyed. He had a very good open shot opportunity, but he couldn't grasp it. In the end, he suffered a counterattack, which made the team pay for a foul, which was a big loss.
In the second half of the first quarter of the game, as the Mavericks used double-team defense, the actions of both sides began to increase. In addition, the Mavericks had entered the state of adding penalties, and the referee's whistle began to sound.

Coach Brooks replaced Li Ze with 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game. In the first quarter, he made 4 of 3 and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Although Durant and Guigui were relatively strong, Ibaka's mid-range continued to gain firepower.

At 27:26, after the end of the first quarter, the Thunder temporarily trailed by one point.

During the holiday break, Durant, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help cursing in a low voice:
"Xie Te! Obviously I went to bed early last night, but I didn't make any open shots!"

In the first quarter of the game, Durant scored 1 of 5 and scored 1 points with 4 free throws. The tortoise on the side didn't speak. Just a little bit better than Durant
"It's only been a game, everyone is testing, don't think about the data, anyway, we are only one point behind."

Li Ze felt that the team performed well, there was no foul crisis, and the rebounds were not lost to the opponent. Durant and Guigui fought hard, but they could also rely on free throws to score points. Durant obviously has the burden of idols and pays too much attention to statistics.

In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Mavericks performed a large-scale rotation.

The backcourt combination became Jason Terry and Jose Barea, the front line was Peja Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki, and the center was Brandon Haywood.

The Thunder took Dai Quinn Cook, Sefolosha and Collison, and Li Ze and Ibaka continued to play.

The Mavericks took the lead in attacking, Barea quickly dribbled across half court, Nowitzki raised the pick-and-roll, and then quickly moved laterally to the left after taking it apart.

Barea shot the ball very fast. Nowitzki just came to the three-point line, and immediately received the pass, catching the ball and swaying it. He was indifferent to Ibaka and still raised his hands.

Seeing this situation, Nowitzki exerted force at his feet and fired directly from outside the three-point line.

"Dirk! Open the three! BANG!"

"That's good!"

Announcer Mike Breen began to cheer Nowitzki's three-pointer, and then there was a huge booing at the scene.

"Shh!"

Ibaka was a little confused. Even if he didn't jump up to block the shot, he definitely didn't leave too much room for the opponent to shoot. As a result, Nowitzki didn't choose to break through, and threw it
After scoring the goal, Nowitzki began to applaud enthusiastically, and shouted for his teammates to quickly return to defense. Compared with last year's playoffs, the Mavericks' defense was more active. For the championship, the veterans also began to work hard.

The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball, Li Ze had just used half court, and Barea's defense directly stuck up, this kind of matchup made Li Ze a little speechless.

A mountain in Puerto Rico, do you want to guard against him at this height?
Every small man who can play in the NBA rotation is not easy. Barea's body is very strong, and Li Ze's defense is constantly interfering, as if he wants to disrupt Li Ze's offensive rhythm.

Li Ze first protected the ball with his back, and then quickly made an offensive gesture. Collison quickly moved up to the three-point line, Ibaka stood still on the baseline, and Cook and Sefolosha were still sinking in the bottom corner.

With his back to Barea at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Li Ze, holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, then took his right foot as the axis, and quickly swipe, holding the ball in his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

The sudden explosion and huge stride allowed Li Zeqing to get rid of Barea's defense for a short time, and then used Collison's cover to delay Barea's pursuit again.

And Haywood of the Mavericks saw Li Ze get rid of the defense and immediately made a big delay.

Seeing the opponent's defensive choice, Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly sent the ball forward with his left hand, and then pulled back sharply with his right hand. Suddenly, Sam Gold made Heywood stagger.

"Oh!"

There was a wonderful shaking, and then the Oklahoma City fans cheered loudly. Taking advantage of Heywood's loss of defensive focus, Li Ze adjusted his pace at the free throw line and made an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

"Shua!" The two-pointer was easily scored.

"Beautiful goal! Kayce managed to read the Mavericks' defense and Barea's defense didn't bother him at all, great skill, unbelievable, he's only 20 years old!"

Jeff Van Gundy turned into Li Zechui again, such a goal is really a show!

The head coach Carlisle on the sidelines frowned when he saw Li Ze's performance, which was different from what he expected. Even in the face of the oppressive defense of a small defender, Li Ze still had no problems in possession of the ball.

Taking advantage of the serve, Coach Carlisle immediately gestured to Jason Terry, and then sat back on the bench. For this situation, the coaching staff had already planned.

The Mavericks attacked, and after Barea dribbled for half the court, he launched a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki again, and after the split, he still quickly released the ball.

After Nowitzki received the pass at the top of the arc, he immediately protected the ball and moved to the left flank. At the same time, Jason Terry in the left corner quickly started, trying to complete a hand-to-hand pass with Nowitzki .

With such a tactic, the Thunder already had a plan before the game. At this time, Li Ze's defensive aggressiveness was very strong, and he used his body to firmly cover Jason Terry, preventing the opponent from easily receiving the ball.

Seeing Li Ze's defense, Jason Terry suddenly ran back, and then quickly moved away from the three-point line. Nowitzki's pass arrived immediately, and then took advantage of the opportunity to complete a high pick-and-roll.

Li Ze was delayed by the screen, Jason Terry briefly got rid of the defense with the ball in his right hand, dribbled the ball twice, went beyond the three-point line, pulled it up and threw it.

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

"Shh!"

The exaggerated three-pointer made the Oklahoma City fans at the scene exclaim first, and then immediately burst into boos. This scene reminded everyone of the outrageous outside firepower of the Mavericks in the regular season.
"Too easy!"

After scoring the goal, Jason Terry yelled at Li Ze who was beside him, and then gave Nowitzki a high-five to celebrate, and quickly returned to the defense.

Although he was a little annoyed, Li Ze first raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his problem, and then quickly came to the bottom line to catch the ball.

Just after the halftime dribble, Parisia and Jason Terry went straight to the line to double-team, allowing Li Ze to take the ball ahead of time. Fortunately, Sefolosha was already prepared and immediately came to the three-point line to respond.

Li Ze, at the top of the arc, saw Jason Terry quickly return to the defense, immediately cut in without the ball, then suddenly ran back, and came outside the three-point line again.

Just as Barea's defense was in place, Li Ze successfully received a pass from Sefolosha, and then threw the ball without making any adjustments.

The ball drew a huge arc in the air, and then fell into the basket with precision. Balia looked at Li Ze with a surprised face. The ball was thrown in his head. The difference in height made his interference negligible.
"Too easy!"

Li Ze also yelled, and then quickly returned to defense with a relaxed expression.

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides began to shoot wildly, and the Oklahoma City fans on the scene kept exclaiming, and the Mavericks made outrageous three-pointers one after another.

Fortunately, the home team can always give a response. With 2 minutes and 3 seconds left in the second quarter, Brooks' head coach replaced Li Ze. At this time, the Thunder fell behind by three points.

Sitting on the bench, Li Ze took a big sip of water first, then complained silently in his heart:

"Good guy! Correcting history? The Mavericks' three-pointer is outrageous."
