The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 252 The Best of January (Chapter 1)

After the results of the second stage of the 2012 NBA All-Star voting were announced, many fans found that most of the post-70s players had already left the All-Star stage.

According to the current voting results, there are only Kobe and Nash left in the 96 golden generation, and the veterans have already begun to draw their curtains.

At the same time, the media reporters in America also began to praise Kobe, who was selected to the All-Star Game 14 times in a row, making Kobe successfully tied Garnett's record and becoming the player with the most All-Star selections among active players.

Many ball critics think of Kobe's current state, and everyone agrees that this record will continue for at least three years!
But for other veterans, in this shrinking season, consecutive back-to-back games have brought their data to career lows at the same time.

Especially compared with the Heat and the Thunder, the team dominated by veterans can be said to be exhausted. For Oklahoma City fans, after 6 consecutive days and 5 games, the team's performance is getting better and better. come better!

On January 1, the Thunder, which returned to their home court, ushered in a challenge from the Pistons.

Amidst the cheers and cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, the energetic Thunder, with their excellent defense, only allowed their opponents to score 12 points in the first quarter. At 12:31 in a single quarter, they beat their opponents by 19 points!
During the break during the festival, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely hot. The Oklahoma City fans celebrated the New Year again. Li Ze, who won the best crystal trophy of the week again that night, also performed very well in the first quarter.

6 of 4 in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and easily scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. At this time, Brandon Knight, a new player of the Pistons, was completely confused when he saw such a scene. Is he really playing an NBA game?
And the inside center Greg Monroe, who was vigorously trained by the Pistons, almost doubted his life. In the first quarter, he was 1 for 8. Coach Lawrence Frank looked at him as if he was about to eat him. This game is a big shame!

Since the Pistons currently only have a record of 4 wins and 13 losses, there is no national live broadcast of this game, and the commentator of the Thunder, Twain, opened fire after the opening, frantically mocking the outside of the Pistons:
"Rodney Stuckey only scored 1 points in the first quarter under Kayce's defense. After the game, he will definitely not complain why the fans didn't vote for him. After watching this game, I think the fans will continue to vote for Kayce."

"Brandon Knight may be crying on the bench, Russell completely destroyed him, poor boy, maybe you are not suitable for the NBA game, Tyshawn Prince? Oh! KD completely suppressed this veteran on both ends of the offense and defense. The Pistons are over!"

Ben Wallace doesn't want to play anymore. He only scored 1 points in the first quarter, which is really embarrassing, and the Pistons also carried out a large-scale rotation in the second quarter. Unfortunately, after the substitute lineup came on the field, the situation on the court did not change in any way.

As soon as Jason Maxiel saw Li Zeyun pass halftime, he almost yelled to let me off the field. He didn't want to be the background board anymore. After the game, he will definitely appear on ESPN's Sports Center program
Faced with such an easy game, Li Ze naturally wants to make a big move. In the absence of pressure, there is no need to consider the situation of being converted after a three-pointer.

Therefore, this round, Li Ze directly entered the attack mode after dribbling half-court. He dribbled the ball behind his back suddenly with his right hand, and mobilized his defensive center of gravity against Jason Maxhill.

Fancy consecutive dribbles behind the back let Li Ze easily get rid of the defense. Jason Maxhill quickly slid back. As a result, Li Ze just dribbled the three-point line and suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply, almost causing the opponent to pounce immediately. street.

Seeing Li Ze faltering with the ball outside the three-point line, Jason Maxhill rushed to defend, but Li Ze passed the ball to Collison in the right elbow area, and then immediately activated it and went straight to the basket .

When receiving a return pass from Collison, Li Ze had only Austin Daye in front of him, and immediately took off with both feet in the paint after taking a big step.

Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, ignoring the opponent's block and jumping high, across Austin Daye, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and swung the ball into the basket fiercely!
"boom!"

"Oh! Kayce smashed Austin Daye, poor guy, hope he doesn't leave a psychological shadow!"

The on-site commentator Tewen fired again, crazily mocking the 2-meter tall man. Austin Daye threw himself into the street after landing. After agreeing to him, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

After completing the dunk, Li Ze just posed under the basket, and when he returned to defense, he gave a high-five to several front-row spectators to celebrate. Such a dunk is indeed a routine operation for him.

In the rest of the game, Li Ze began to increase his outside shots. Except for three-pointers, the rest were breakthroughs for layups or using his feet to complete the offense near the paint.

In a typical magic ball style of play, Li Ze's score rose wildly after almost the third quarter, and the Oklahoma City fans on the scene screamed.

Although the trio had clocked out of get off work in the fourth quarter, the fans on the scene were not stingy with their cheers after the atmosphere group came on stage. For them, every Thunder game was a big happy party.

Durant looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and instantly turned into lemon essence. Li Ze's style of play is not complicated, but for Durant, too many three-point shots will reduce his efficiency, so he really can't imitate this
18 of 11, including 8 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 5 free throws, 30 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover. Li Ze did not have a mid-range shot in this game. The two-pointers were either conversions or layups. Almost!
"Shet! After adding strength training, my three-point shooting rate is obviously not stable!"

Durant scored 24 points in this game, and his shooting percentage was also very high, 17 of 11, but he scored 6 points less than Li Ze. A large part of the reason was 3 of 0 three-pointers.

Guigui didn't agree with Durant's words. His efficiency in this game was also out of the box. He scored 13 points in 9 of 20 and sent out 8 assists. He only made 2 turnovers, which was similar to that of Li Ze. All points come from transitions and drives.

"Strength training can protect our bodies and increase our confrontation. Looking at LeBron James' performance this season, the benefits of gaining weight are still very obvious."

Thinking that James seems to have grown a lot bigger, and that the first game really gave him a lot of trouble, Durant was a little depressed, and he couldn't have it both ways.
The three of them had a great time discussing off the court, and the Pistons players had already broken their defenses. If they continued to fight like this, they would have nothing to do with the superficial brothers in the future!

At the end of the game, at 79:112, the Thunder beat their opponents at home.

After the atmosphere group came on stage, they showed no mercy, and the newcomer Marshan Brooks even scored 12 points in a single quarter, which caused the Pistons to shake hands after the game and then turned away.

On January 1th, after a day off, the Thunder continued to play at home. Tonight they will welcome the Hornets, who currently have 25 wins and 3 losses.

Although Ariza returned from injury, it was a pity that Ariza turned into Tiezha again that night and almost smashed the basket at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Li Ze once again showed the ultimate magic ball play, attacking left and right, and fancy dream dance steps, which made Belinelli doubt his life in the low position.

In the end, at 91:109, the Thunder beat their opponents at home again and won 11 consecutive victories!

赛后，全场比赛18中9，三分球10中4，罚球7中7，拿到29分5篮板4助1抢断1盖帽2失误的李泽在场边接受了 ESPN记者的采访。

"Kayce, congratulations on your victory in this game. The Thunder have won 11 consecutive victories, but you will fly away to the next game. What do you expect for the next consecutive road trip?"

"Of course we will strive to win every game. Regardless of the strength of the opponent, we will do our best to complete the game. As for the winning streak, I don't care too much. Our goal this season is only one, and that is to bring the O'Brien Cup back to Oklahoma City again."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to the game against the Warriors. You know, Klay Thompson and I were teammates in high school. It's the first time we've been opponents in an official game. In the game the day after tomorrow, I'm sure I won't show mercy!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, the ESPN reporter remembered that Clay's draft template was the severely bankrupt version of Li Ze. Seeing Li Ze's full motivation, he immediately sent another blessing:

"I will always support you, Kayce, keep going!"

On January 1, everyone from the Thunder team arrived in Oakland in the morning, and tonight they will challenge the Warriors away.

Coach Brooks did not conduct too many training sessions in the past two days, and mostly focused on video analysis. After all, in the eyes of the coaching staff, teams like the Hornets and Warriors do not need to pay too much attention.

At noon, Li Ze saw Curry, who was in a bad mood, and Klay Thompson, who was smiling. After the three of them came to the restaurant, Clay immediately took out his mobile phone and showed Li Ze his pet dog Rocco.

"See, Kayce, Rocco has grown up, God, he is so cute, you should consider getting an English bulldog!"

When Li Ze saw the Shar Pei in the photo, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. He didn't pay much attention when he picked up girls. This dog might have been Klay Thompson's little lover in his previous life.
"Forget it, I don't want to be like you. I have to bring a dog to play games. How are you doing in the Warriors? Curry told me that he will take care of you."

Klay Thompson couldn't help curling his lips when he heard Li Ze's words. He actually doesn't like Curry very much.

"Not bad! Anyway, I don't need to buy donuts for the old players. I'm already very satisfied, but I lost too many games, and I may need to get used to it!"

Curry on the side couldn't help rubbing his forehead when he heard Klay Thompson's words. This year is his contract year, but his performance is getting worse. Coupled with the ankle injury, Curry has completely lost his mind.

"You will definitely win in the future. Compared with me, you are already very lucky. I have lost here for two years!"

Seeing Curry's expression, Li Ze immediately guessed that the other party must not have recovered from his ankle injury, so he couldn't help but make a suggestion:

"Do you want to consider changing the trainer, adjust the strength of the body, and watch less boring media reports!"

Of course Curry knows that Li Ze's training team is very famous in the NBA circle, but his trainer was introduced by his father, so he is an old acquaintance, so he doesn't want to change, so he can only decline:

"After undergoing surgery in Xia Tian, ​​I feel pretty good at the moment, if necessary, I will trouble you!"

Hearing what Curry said, Li Ze could only shake his head in his heart. The NBA is a large-scale sports reality show, and the media will magnify everything about the players. Curry has been plagued by ankle injuries since 2010.

Continuous sprains on the right ankle caused Curry to undergo surgery this summer, but unfortunately, in December last year, Curry's ankle suffered two sprains again. On January 12, the media reported that Curry's right ankle injury.

Many ball critics already believe that Curry's ankle has begun to be habitually injured, and the Warriors chose a glass guard as the core of the team, which was also ridiculed by many people.

"It's rare to come to Oakland, how about I take you to play around at night? The quality of the night scene here is not inferior to that in Los Angeles!"

Klay Thompson didn't want to continue talking about basketball, so he immediately asked Li Ze to have fun at night. Hearing what his friend said, Li Ze raised his eyebrows and made a secret signal that only the two of them knew:

"Of course, you are responsible for finding the venue, and I will pay for it!"

"."

The game that night once again confirmed Li Ze's guess. Curry, who had just returned from injury, was in no condition. In the first quarter, he was 1 for 5 and scored no points. It seemed that he was too concerned about the ankle injury, which made Curry lose his previous explosive power. .

Coupled with Monta Ellis' inefficient performance, the Warriors could only rely on David Lee to support them. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 32:20, and the Thunder easily led by 12 points.

In the rotation stage of the second quarter of the game, the head coach Mark Jackson who just took office this season took it, Monta Ellis, Klay Thompson, Dorell White, Brandon Rush, Aipai Udo Such a big and four small lineup.

Obviously, in order to limit Li Ze, Mark Jackson threw all the strikers on the field.

When Li Ze dribbled through halftime, Klay Thompson immediately stepped forward to interfere. Faced with such a defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated, and when he came to the three-point line, he dribbled the ball behind his back.

Klay Thompson saw Li Ze's left hand pause slightly, and the defensive center of gravity subconsciously moved forward. Noticing the opponent's shaking, Li Ze's left hand quickly changed direction, lowered the body's center of gravity and immediately turned his hip, and accelerated with his right hand holding the ball.

Li Ze, who easily got half of his body and broke into the paint, took his left foot as the axis, and suddenly pulled the ball back with his right hand, shaking Klay Thompson's defensive center of gravity again.
"Kayce Fade away! Yes!"

In the commentary booth of TNT in the Oracle Center Arena, the commentator Mafu Albert was cheering loudly for Li Ze's goal, and the Chinese fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.

Seeing Klay Thompson's depressed face, Lizerik smiled, and whispered by the way:

"Rookie! Welcome to the NBA!"

Klay Thompson couldn't help but feel even more depressed when he saw Li Ze retreating quickly after talking trash.

Waiting for the next attack with the Warriors, Ai Pai Udu came outside the three-point line and began to cover the outside players, and by the way completed several hand-offs in a row.

When Klay Thompson received the ball, he didn't choose to pass the ball. Instead, he used the cover to accelerate the cut from the left flank outside the three-point line. It seemed that he had gotten rid of Li Ze's pursuit.

As a result, the ball had just left his left hand, and Li Ze, who was chasing behind him, directly sent a volleyball cap!

"Snapped!"

Amid the exclamations of the fans, the ball was slapped vigorously on the backboard and bounced directly into Ibaka's hands. After the latter controlled the ball, he immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, who had already rushed up, and the Thunder launched a conversion attack.

The Warriors retreated quickly, but Li Ze advanced very fast. Dorell White, who switched to Li Ze's side, had been fighting desperately. As a result, when Li Ze dribbled to the three-point line, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and immediately let Dorell White Rael White staggered.

Before everyone in the Warriors could react, Li Zehuang at the top of the arc opened his defense without making any adjustments, and made a three-point jump shot!

"Oh! My God!"

"Kayce hits the three! Unbelievable!"

The sudden stop and conversion of three-pointers made the commentator Mav Albert couldn't help shouting God, and Klay Thompson was very annoyed. The ball was obviously his fault.

After scoring the goal, Li Ze smiled and raised his eyebrows at Klay Thompson. Seeing the bitter face of the other party, Li Ze almost laughed outright, and then sighed silently in his heart:
"The bonus brought by the golden [Conversion Master] badge is indeed very powerful when abusing food, but unfortunately it is not used most of the time."

Mark Jackson on the sidelines was also a little helpless. He didn't have the exact feeling of being a commentator. At this time, he fully realized the powerlessness of the coaches of other teams in the league in the face of Li Ze. How should he defend?
In the next few rounds, the Thunder played a "V"-shaped offense. As long as the Warriors' defensive rotation failed to reach the designated position in time, Li Ze would break through resolutely.

The simple pick-and-roll attack made everyone in the Warriors completely numb. Seeing that the point difference continued to expand, head coach Mark Jackson also sat back on the bench, and the game was over.
When Curry came on the field in the second half of the second quarter, the point difference on the court had reached 2 points. In this case, Curry's state still did not improve. After halftime, the data was still zero.

In the second half of the game, Li Ze increased his running without the ball and began to catch and shoot consecutively from the outside. Coupled with Durant's heavy punch, the main lineup directly divided the score after playing 3 minutes and 9 seconds in the third quarter. The difference widened to 26 points.

When the fourth quarter started, the two sides quickly switched to the atmosphere group, and Klay Thompson also got enough playing time.

The smooth game time passed quickly. In the end, at 120:102, the Thunder beat the Warriors in an away game and continued their winning streak!
李泽本场比赛继续平平无奇的发挥，全场17中9，三分球8中3，罚球5中5，26分4篮板5助攻1抢断1封盖2失误，杜兰特同样砍下26分，再加上24分的龟龟，三人组三节打爆对手。

Although the Thunder team's atmosphere team was a bit ruthless, but Li Ze treated guests that night, and when everyone was having fun together, no one cared about losing. They got used to losing and losing. Maybe this is the current situation of the Warriors.
When the gossiping sports reporters reported the news that the Warriors and the Thunder had a collective carnival after the game on the second day, the Warriors fans immediately broke their defenses:

"Are you sorry for us? Refund!"

"."

After the game ended, everyone in the Thunder team got another two days of rest time. After returning to Oklahoma City, head coach Brooks announced another day off by the way.

The January schedule is coming to an end, and the Thunder's February game will start a back-to-back trip. In this case, the coaching staff chose to reduce training sessions. After all, the current team's tactics do not require any running-in.

On January 1, the NBA once again announced the best player of the week in the Eastern and Western Leagues for the fifth week.

在这周的比赛中，热火队3胜1负，勒布朗詹姆斯19.3次出手，投篮命中率为46.8%，凭借着场均27.3分8.0篮板6.0助攻1.3抢断4.0失误的数据再次拿到了这个奖项。

西部联盟的奖项依旧毫无悬念，雷霆队3胜0负，李泽场均28.3分4.3篮板4.3助攻1.3抢断1:3失误，数据碾压众人，继续垄断奖项。

In this week's game, Li Ze averaged 17.7 shots per game, shooting 54.7% from the field and 38.3% from the three-point range. the truth.

When everyone looked at the more detailed technical statistics, they immediately found that most of Li Ze's 2-pointers were concentrated at the basket, which immediately sparked a heated discussion.

On TNT's Inside the NBA program, the host Ernie Johnson started a fancy discussion with the three:
"Our young MVP seems to have found a more efficient style of play. Of course, it is still uncertain, but just from the data point of view, although Kayce's efficiency has declined compared with before, his scoring has shown an upward trend."

Charles Barkley immediately made a different point, as an old-school player with a strong dislike for [-]-pointers:

"Excessive three-point shooting makes it easy for the opponent to play a transition attack. I don't think Kayce's style of play is more efficient. I also respect all teams, but the Thunder's opponent this week is really too weak."

Kenny Smith on the side still continued to help Li Ze stand on the platform, and immediately gave his own point of view:

"I think Kayce is honing his skills. He may not care about these problems of play. You must know that last season he mainly focused on mid-range shooting, and he was able to hit more than 6% of his shots in the playoffs!"

And O'Neill looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and suddenly reminded everyone:
"In fact, such a style of play is not uncommon. Our data analysis team gave a player who is very similar to Kayce's current style of play, James Harden of the Kings."

Charles Barkley seemed to think of this rookie he had been optimistic about, and immediately frowned and complained:
"I'm very disappointed with Harden's performance. He failed to lead the Kings to rise. Instead, he has gradually become obsessed with three-pointers in the past two years. Perhaps the management of the Kings has made a decision. Cousins ​​is indeed a better player."

"Man, do you really think Cousins ​​is better? In my opinion, he is simply a big guard, and the offensive choices in many cases also make me baffled!"

When O'Neill heard Kenny Smith's words, he immediately took over the conversation, and said in a deep voice:

"I swear! If you make me 10 years younger, I can let him leave the field with 6 fouls in the half. Now the young center is really too soft!"

"."

Li Ze also watched this program at his home in Oklahoma City. Thinking of the current situation of the bearded golfer, he felt a little helpless. The butterfly effect he brought was indeed not small.

Although Harden had enough shooting rights in the Kings, Cousins ​​did not call him. It's even more crazy.

Coupled with the fact that Harden is also a contract year this year, the Kings have a high probability of choosing to trade Harden away to help Cousins, and the bearded player's next contract is hard to say!
Thinking of this, Li Ze decided to treat his brothers well tomorrow, big ass girls are enough
On January 1, everyone in the Thunder set off again, and tonight they will challenge the Kings away.

After the start of the new season, under the leadership of unhappy Harden and mindless Cousins, the Kings currently have 6 wins and 13 losses, ranking second to last in the Western Conference.

In the game that night, there was indeed not much suspense. The Kings, whose defense was poor, were blown away by the Thunder at halftime. The point difference came directly to 16 points. By the end of the third quarter, many fans even left the field directly. up.

Watching the Kings play is indeed a bit painful. Many fans miss the old Kings team who used Princeton's style of play and had a gorgeous offense. Look at the current team, what kind of game is it playing!
During the intermission, Li Ze noticed that after Harden left the field, the Kings fans on the scene even booed directly. Seeing such a scene, Li Ze immediately understood that Harden would definitely not be in the Kings next season.

In the last quarter of the game, the Kings also quickly replaced the main players, and the game completely entered the garbage disposal time. By the end of the game, more than half of the audience had left. Such a scene was somewhat embarrassing
At 109:94, the Thunder easily defeated their opponents and won 13 consecutive victories, which also completely ended the game in January.

李泽本场比赛15中9，其中三分球7中3，罚球4中4，拿到了25分3篮板3助攻2抢断的数据，杜兰特和龟龟都拿到22分，比赛轻松的过头了
After the game, the atmosphere of the Thunder team was full of joy, and the data is a beautiful knife. Who can not love the easy scoring?When Li Ze found the bearded golfer, he saw that he was covered with a towel and looked extremely disappointed, so he couldn't help comforting him:
"It's okay, Bro! Stick to your style of play, someone will definitely give you a big contract during the offseason!"

But when Li Ze saw the excited expression on Harden's face, he was speechless in his heart. The bearded golfer who only scored 16 points in this game can't wait, the fun is over!
"Let's go! Kayce, the old place, a lot of new girls have come here recently, it's rare for you to treat us, let's have a good time tonight!"

"."

After the January game, the schedule of the shrinking season is almost 1/1 over. In this case, the Thunder achieved a record of 3 wins and 19 loss, which once again made the media reporters in Amerika call out the Thunder The slogan of the championship!

At 1:31 on January 0, the NBA announced the best player of the month for the East and West leagues.

东部联盟，热火队在1月份打出了11胜5负的战绩，勒布朗詹姆斯以场均28.2分8.5篮板7.1助攻1.6抢断4.3失误的数据轻松拿奖。

西部联盟，雷霆队虽然后半个月赛程轻松，但14胜1负的战绩，还是让不少球评人直呼恐怖，李泽以场均27.3分5.0篮板4.7助攻1.5抢断1.1失误的数据成功当选1月最佳球员。

The efficiency of the two is quite terrifying. LeBron James averaged 37.5 minutes per game, took 18.8 shots, shot 53.8% from the field and 41.9% from three-pointers!

And Li Ze averaged 36.1 minutes per game, took 17.0 shots, shot 57.1% from the field and 43.7% from the three-point line. The American media reporters were a little confused when they saw the statistics of the two. Are you playing an NBA game?

If you study the data carefully, Li Ze's free throw percentage in January was 1%, and his efficiency is really off the charts!In this regard, LeBron James is far behind Li Ze, and his 96.4% free throw percentage is a hindrance
For the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, although the Spring Festival holiday is over, Li Ze can win the award, and the fans will continue to celebrate the New Year. However, Comey couldn't help but make sour remarks on the Hupu forum:

"The Thunder's schedule is great, and the stats of Volute are obviously better, but it's a pity that the trash teammates dragged down Crouching Tiger's record."

"CBA teammate again? Kobe made crazy shots himself, and blamed his teammates if he lost? It's ridiculous!"

"Average 25.6 shots per game, shoot 45.5% from the field, and 29.2% from the three-point range. It's really good to get 31.2 points with such an efficiency, but 10 wins and 7 losses are better than Li Zebi, not to mention the efficiency. , Li Ze finished blowing Kobe up."

"Li Ze is already in the 190 club. The number one shooting guard in the league is not blown out. If he really let go of his shots like Kobe, he might directly average 40 per game. In fact, Durant is also very fierce!"

"There is no suspense in the West. The Thunder are too fierce, and the players are all in their early 20s. Under such circumstances, this season will definitely defend the title."

"The Heat have already settled in, and my teammates this year are not leftovers. I will definitely not lose in the finals again."

"Here we go again. James blamed his teammates for scoring 4 points in G8 of the finals last year. Jamie and Comey are really good. Stars will never stick to the pot."

It’s not just Comey from China who is complaining about Kobe’s grievances, but the media in Los Angeles is also complaining about Kobe’s grievances. Such statistics can’t get the best of the month. The management must blame the Bass family and the team manager!
Li Ze ignored the complaints from the Los Angeles media. The schedule is all arranged by the NBA, so it's useless to turn into lemon essence!At this time, he was holding his notebook and saw carefully the email that Rick had sent him.

Two brand new product lines of Keds are officially launched today. One is the Flow Velociti SE running shoes that focus on fashion sports, which is mainly endorsed by Taylor and focuses on the women's market. The other is Li Ze's Kayce Flow 1 generation sneakers.

Of course, the basic HOVR running shoes are also officially launched. The midsole of this running shoe is a new type of ultra-soft foam material, which is also the result of two years of Dow Chemical polishing. Of course, this running shoe has a rubber outsole.

When Li Ze saw the stocking situation of the factory in the email, he felt that Rick was still a bit conservative, but considering the market's acceptance of new material running shoes, he could understand the other party, after all, Adidas' new material Boost has not yet appeared.
Seriously recalling the memories in his mind, Li Ze felt that maybe this time Keds could be at least half a year ahead of Adidas, and whether they could win the market would depend on the sales in 2012.

Of course, in order to make a lot of money, Li Ze is also planning to learn from Adidas’ Yeezy series. As long as the sales are decent, the marketing methods will be wave after wave.
Thinking of the wonderful money scene in the future, Li Ze whispered to himself while replying to the email:
"It's good to get a small piece of the market, as long as it's similar to the Under Armor I remember, then I'm completely satisfied."

On February 2st, everyone in the Thunder set off again, and tonight they will challenge the Mavericks away.

The coaching staff has fully prepared for this game. The slow-heating Mavericks are getting better and better. The current record has reached 14 wins and 8 losses, rushing to the 7th position in the Western Conference.

In this game, the old Kidd took back-to-back rotations, Rodrigo Beaubois was the starting point guard, Vince Carter also came to the starting lineup, coupled with the injury of center Haywood, Ian Mahinmi also entered the starting lineup.

Perhaps because they were too excited to enter the starting lineup, the Mavericks played very well in the first quarter, while the Thunder didn't score much in the first quarter because the tortoise suddenly entered the sewer.

At 24:29, the Thunder trailed by 5 points in the first quarter, and the Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Arena happily played the game. Seeing the Thunder deflate, the audience felt extremely comfortable and the atmosphere on the scene became extremely joyful.

"Shet! I should have driven to the hoop!"

Guigui, who was sitting on the bench, was annoyed for a while. Perhaps because the pick-and-roll at position 5 was too easy, Ian Mahinmi couldn't defend at all, which made Guigui take consecutive mid-range shots in the first quarter.

Although they were all good opportunities, the result was 5 of 1. With free throws, Turtle only scored 4 points.
Li Ze felt that it didn't matter, it was just one quarter of the game. Facing the Mavericks' defense, he was confident that he could reverse the game in the second quarter, so he immediately comforted Gui Gui:
"There are still three quarters of the game, and the difference is only 5 points. After that, if there is a chance to continue to shoot, it is obvious that the opponent is shrinking under the basket. If you take a few more shots, you will always score!"

Coach Carlisle continued to play Carter and Nowitzki in the second quarter. Delonti West and Jason Terry partnered in the backcourt. At the same time, he also took Brandon White, who is 2 meters 2 and has good athletic ability.

Li Ze was speechless when he saw the rotation of the Mavericks. Compared to last season, Cuban reduced the strength of the Mavericks a lot in order to save money.

The Mavericks fans at the scene were still enthusiastic. Under the leadership of the DJ on the scene, they immediately began to shout for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After half court, he noticed that the Mavericks were still half-marking the defense. The two big men shrunk the inside line, and the three outsiders were man-marking. Seeing this defensive situation, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Ibaka at the top of the arc.

Then he made a gesture to signal Sofoloza and Cook to take turns to catch the ball and make a few outside cuts. After only three hand-off passes, Carter, who was chasing and defending Li Ze, was half a beat slower in defense.

Seeing Li Ze moving quickly towards the top of the arc, Carter desperately pursued and defended him, but when Li Ze swayed to the left during the movement and made a fake counter-run, Carter was stunned for a moment.

Li Ze easily got rid of Carter and received a hand-off pass from Ibaka at the top of the arc. At this time, Ibaka immediately slid down and took away Nowitzki's defense, and Carter's pursuit and defense were also in place in time.

Noticing that Carter was standing with his feet parallel, Li Ze made a three-threat posture at the top of the arc. While lowering his body's center of gravity, his left foot quickly completed a tentative step forward to the left.

Carter's defensive center of gravity has just shifted to the left, and his left foot quickly steps forward to the right. Pull it next time.

Then the left hand paused slightly, and while the body was shaking forward, he dribbled the ball down the spot twice very quickly, and then exerted force with his feet, and retreated to the outside of the three-point line. Seeing that Carter was shaken and stood there, Li Ze adjusted and shot a jumper easily.

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

The shaking with a strong sense of rhythm is indeed very exciting, but the Mavericks fans in the American Airlines Arena do not want to see such a scene at all. When they see Li Ze throwing a three-pointer, the fans think of last year's Western Conference Finals, and immediately Huge boos erupted:

"Shh!"

Li Ze didn't care about the atmosphere of the scene, but just reminded his teammates to continue to defend. Nowitzki seemed to want to respond, but the mid-range fadeaway jumper hit him angrily.

Collison protected the rebound and passed it to Li Ze. After receiving the pass, the Thunder immediately launched a conversion attack.

Jason Terry wanted to make a tactical foul immediately, but Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly turned around sharply, easily throwing off the opponent's defense, and then accelerated with all his strength in his left hand.

When Li Ze entered the paint area, his left hand suddenly circled the ball under his crotch, and once again stunned Carter, who was chasing him. The referee's whistle came.

"My bowl!"

"squeak!"

"Bang!" The whistle blew and the ball went in!
After scoring the goal, Li Ze pointed at Guigui by the way, and then patted his chest. Such an action immediately made Guigui smile, and frantically waved the towel in his hand.

Amidst the boos of the Mavericks fans at the scene, Li Ze stood on the free throw line and scored the ball steadily. At 30:29, he overtook the score in just over a minute.

In the next few minutes, Nowitzki seemed to want to take over the game and give a response, but under the defense of Ibaka, he finally hit the iron continuously. The Thunder seized the opportunity of two conversions and easily expanded the point difference.

Coach Carlisle felt helpless about the situation on the court. Marion was in charge of man-marking Durant, and none of the outside players could restrain Li Ze. Carter was completely suppressed on both offense and defense.

After Ian Mahinmi spat at the basket, Ibaka protected the rebound. Seeing that the Mavericks had finished retreating, Li Ze slowly dribbled across half court, and then immediately launched a pick-and-roll with Ibaka on the three-point line.

Nowitzki was forced to be delayed. Seeing Li Ze suddenly accelerate with the ball in his left hand, he quickly slid backwards. After observing Li Ze's wrist movement, Nowitzki subconsciously closed his legs, but it was still a beat slower.

The ball passed through the middle of the legs accurately, hit the ground and passed the ball to Ibaka, who caught the ball and directly filled the basket with both hands!

"Boom!" The dunk was successful!
The commentator on the scene of the Mavericks didn't want to make a sound, and the American Airlines Arena suddenly became a little quiet. Seeing the team's banging, the Mavericks fans gradually lost their emotions.
In the second half of the game, the Thunder's offense went smoothly. After being put on the field, the tortoise relaxed and finally regained his mid-range touch. On the contrary, the Mavericks were completely out of form and began to fight crazily.

By the end of the half, at 56:49, the Thunder easily pulled back the score.

After the start of the third quarter, under the high-pressure defense of the Thunder, the Mavericks' offense was completely cut off. They only scored 3 points in a single quarter. After a wave, the game was completely gone.

Coach Carlisle sighed silently when he saw Nowitzki sitting silently on the bench, the window of victory for the veterans seemed to have completely disappeared.
In the end, at 109:86, the Thunder got a good start to the February game and also won 2 consecutive victories.

After the game, the players of the two teams simply hugged and saluted. Competitive sports are indeed cruel sometimes, and Li Ze didn't want to say words of comfort. What veterans need is victory.
Seeing Nowitzki walking back to the player tunnel with disappointment, and looking at the opponent's back, Li Ze felt emotional:
"The championship is indeed too important, otherwise, even if it is a superstar, it will not be able to match Excel in the end"
