The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 255 Kobe Bryant Without His Peak (9300-word chapter)
The NBA's star-making movement has never stopped, and Jeremy Lin's appearance suddenly made many fans pay attention to this shrinking season.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the media in New York jumped up and down, seizing the hot news, and crazily publicizing Jeremy Lin's inspirational story.

From being undrafted and having no ball to play, to leading the Knicks to winning consecutive games and becoming the team's core guard. Although the counterattack is clichéd, Amerika's fans still never get tired of it.

And Jeremy Lin's crazy performance reached its climax on Valentine's Day, February 2, when the Knicks and Raptors in the away game were tied.

At the last moment of the game, Jeremy Lin faced Calderon's defense and successfully hit the lore, which completely broke the story of Lin's madness!

With the support of various media, Jeremy Lin even became the representative of the Amica Dream, and for everyone in the Thunder team in Oklahoma City, Jeremy Lin's performance can only become everyone's talk after the game, after all, the golden thigh Data is really scary.

On March 2, the NBA once again announced the Player of the Week for the 19th week.

东部联盟，热火队在这一周打出4胜0负的战绩，勒布朗-詹姆斯以场均27.3分8.8篮板5.3助攻1.8抢断2.0失误，成功拿到了这个奖项。

In the Western Conference, the Thunder had only three games this week, and won all three games against the Jazz, Rockets, and Warriors. Li Ze was re-elected with an average of 24.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 turnovers per game. Player of the week.

Although the statistics of the two seem mediocre, LeBron James' shooting percentage reached 57.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 46.2%. %.

Both of them entered the 180 club, and their efficiency exploded completely. No matter how popular Lin Crazy is, when America's ball commentators saw such statistics, many people directly dropped their jaws. This is really heaven!

What is even more surprising is that the average playing time of the two is only 31.5 minutes. This efficiency is really unbelievable.
After Li Ze received the best crystal trophy of the week at home, he just smiled slightly. The family really couldn't put this thing down.

The Thunder's games in the last week before the All-Star Game are all at home. Although there are two consecutive back-to-back games, the schedule is relatively easy.

After comfortable victories over the Hornets and Nuggets, Amelia's press once again sang the Thunder's praises.

In the next game, after the trio beat the old Big Three of the Celtics with 104:124, the TNT program directly shouted the slogan of the Thunder team championship.

At the same time, the back-to-back home game against the Lakers tomorrow night has also attracted the attention of many fans. The Thunder swept the Lakers in the playoffs last year. The two teams meet again in the new season. Can the Lakers complete their revenge?

During the warm-up before the game, the media reporters of America even attributed the resignation of Phil Jackson's head coach to the Thunder. The Western Conference semifinals were swept out, and Old Buss no longer trusted the champion. Coach!
On the morning of February 2, the Thunder briefly conducted recovery training, and Durant immediately complained about the media reports from last night:

"Nowadays, the media has no lower limit. It is obvious that the annual salary cannot be negotiated. The Lakers will not reject the champion coach. Maybe he has long wanted to quit this job."

"Don't forget that Phil Jackson is still the son-in-law of the old Buss. There was a report two days ago that was well written, and it may be related to the internal shares of the Buss family."

Li Ze has also seen a lot of news about the internal struggles of the Bass family recently. It is worthy of being a large-scale sports reality show. This kind of palace fighting drama may be directly made into an American drama.
"It's no wonder Kobe's shots have increased so much this season. Mike Brown's coaching style is the same as before. Maybe we can guess how many shots Kobe will take tonight."

While taking a break, Guigui looked at the Lakers statistics listed by the assistant coach, and immediately complained about Kobe's shots, and everyone in the atmosphere group also booed and said:
"It won't be less than 20 shots. I guess if the game reaches the fourth quarter, Kobe will take at least 4 shots!"

"Under Kayce's defense, I think Kobe will play more reasonably. 20 times is the limit. If you hit the iron frequently, the Lakers will definitely lose early."

"The Black Mamba doesn't care about statistics. I guarantee it. The greater the defensive pressure on Kayce, the more Kobe's fighting spirit will be aroused. 28 shots!"

Li Ze saw his teammates start to bet wildly, he was speechless immediately, even 30 shots were suppressed, do you really think that Kobe’s stamina bar is unlimited
On the evening of the 23rd, Oklahoma City fans entered the Chesapeake Energy Arena early. For more than a week, the fans celebrated the New Year every day. The Thunder swept their opponents in almost every game. Such a competitive state also made the Oklahoma City fans more excited. swell.

"Every time I come to Oklahoma City, I will feel the fiery atmosphere of the scene. The attendance rate is the highest in the league for two consecutive seasons. The enthusiasm of the fans here is incredible."

In the commentary booth of TNT, Steve Kerr observed the surrounding environment and couldn't help but once again praised the Oklahoma City fans at the scene.

"This is also the impact of the team's good record. The Thunder currently have a record of 31 wins and 2 losses, leading the second-placed Spurs with 2 wins. If nothing else, the Thunder will still be able to win this year. Number one in the regular season."

Reggie Miller looked at the data in his hand and sighed in his heart. After many back-to-back games, the Thunder's record is still very stable, and the young team is dominating the league.

"Although the coach has changed this season, Mike Brown has also shown his coaching level. With 20 wins and 13 losses, the Lakers seem to be getting better!"

Steve Kerr looked a little weird when he heard what the commentator Kevin Harlan said, but he didn't want to say bad things about Mike Brown in the live broadcast. Giving the ball to Kobe is not a good tactic.

As a black coach, Mike Brown naturally cherished the opportunity to coach the Lakers.

Although he can't completely control the superstars in the team like Phil Jackson, but by coaching LeBron James, Mike Brown has also summed up a set of ways to get along with superstars.

Give the ball to the star players on the field, and the others will do a good job of defense and rebounding, and it is enough to wait for the cake by the way. After coming to the Lakers, Mike Brown determined his own tactical system, triangle offense?Outdated!

There are 6 sets of core tactics, each of which is aimed at Kobe. All the goals are to let Kobe catch the ball in a comfortable position, and then it is gone. The rest depends on the individual performance of the superstar.

However, something was wrong with the game tonight. After more than 1 minutes in the first quarter, Mike Brown on the sidelines frowned. Du Bang Bang strikes iron
"Oh!"

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene burst into cheers when they saw Kobe fighting again under Li Ze's defense.

The rebound was protected by Ibaka under the basket. Noticing that the Lakers had retreated quickly, the turtle who received the ball was no longer in a hurry and dribbled slowly across the half.

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

Both Ibaka and Perkins stood at the two elbows on the left and right of the free throw line. Turtle directly gave the ball to Li Ze, who was on the left flank outside the three-point line. At this time, Ibaka came to the three-point line Take cover.

Kobe has been paying attention to Ibaka's movements. Just standing still, he immediately chooses to stick to the defense to make it easier to squeeze through. At the same time, he also gestures to Pau Gasol, indicating that there must be a big delay.

Standing still on the screen, Li Ze immediately released the ball with his left hand, raised his center of gravity slightly, and after a simple dribble under his crotch, he chose to break through on the right side.

Kobe squeezed past at the first time, and Li Ze noticed that Gasol's defense was also following up. At this moment, he suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, pushed the ball forward with his right hand, and then exerted force with his feet to squeeze through the encirclement of the two. .

Controlling the ball with his left hand again, he accelerated with all his strength, and Kobe, who had squeezed through the screen, was staggered by Li Ze. He had no time to defend, so he could only watch Li Ze rush to the inside.

Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, Li Ze, who came to the paint area and jumped with both feet, ignored Bynum, who jumped up to block the block, and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand.

"boom!"

"Slam dunk!"

"Oh! What a play by Kayce!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan immediately cheered for Li Ze's wonderful buckle. After landing, Bynum almost rushed to the street. He could clearly feel that Li Ze's strength seemed to be stronger than last season. This kind of impact, Almost catching up with James.

Li Ze, who successfully dunked the dunk, has not had time to pretend to be X. The excited turtle immediately rushed up and hugged him, jumping and jumping, and screamed strangely, and his teammates also booed. Everyone celebrated under the basket
The game just reached the official timeout. Kobe first stared at Bynum with a death stare, and then walked back to the bench with a grimace. Mike Brown took the tactical board and gave two symbolic speeches, and then immediately sent thick chicken soup .

"On the offensive end, we need to trust each other, and on the defensive end, we need to speed up the rotation. Fisher, slow down the rhythm. We need to attack in position!"

Hearing what the head coach said, Fisher was numb at this time. Every time he met the Thunder's backcourt, it was the most painful time for him. He really wanted to say that it was useless to slow down the rhythm, but considering Kobe's emotions , can only nod silently.

In the second half of the first quarter, Kobe’s touch finally warmed up. With Bynum’s cover, he immediately went to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line to catch the ball. Facing Li Ze’s defense, he broke through with the ball in his right hand towards the baseline.

There was a sudden change of rhythm during the march, and then against Li Ze's block, Kobe drifted to the right and made a large fallback jumper.

"Shua!" The two-pointer was scored with difficulty.

After scoring the goal, Kobe still had no expression on his face. He just glanced at Li Ze coldly, and then quickly retreated. Li Ze was speechless. If he remembers correctly, Kobe is currently 7 out of 2.
Li Ze was replaced with 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter. The Thunder led by 12 points when he left the game. However, the pace of the first quarter was not fast. Li Ze scored 5 of 4 and easily scored 3 points by breaking through.

In the remaining 3 minutes, the Lakers played directly for 24 seconds, and at the same time strengthened their offensive rebound rush. In this case, the point difference did not continue to be expanded. At 23:28, the Thunder finally Still ended the first quarter with a 5-point lead.

After the start of the second quarter, Steve Kerr saw the Lakers' rotation and couldn't help complaining in the commentary:

"The Lakers really should keep Odom. In the current rotation, most of the scoring depends on Gasol. Steve Blake, Andrew Goodlock and Matt Barnes on the perimeter are not capable of scoring. Strong, inside Troy Murphy's ability to protect the frame is also problematic."

Reggie Miller also wanted to take advantage of the trend to complain, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Li Ze directly play a high pick-and-roll tactic with Collison at the 5th position after halftime, and easily get rid of Matt Barnes' defense , A three-pointer at the top of the arc made an emergency stop jump shot.

"Kayce! Hits the three! That's good!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan became more and more excited as he watched, Troy Murphy was insane, Li Ze's shot was too fast, and the delay was too late. The wonderful three-pointer made the Oklahoma City fans excited:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Steve Blake had just dribbled through the half court, and when he heard the rhythmic defensive cheers on the scene, he glanced at Li Ze who was defending him in front of him, feeling a little apprehensive.

Li Ze chose to stick to the defense at the first time, forcing the opponent to pass the ball, and then the Lakers' offense began to toss. Gasol didn't get a good chance at the inner free throw line, and then immediately signaled Blake to take over hand pass.

The screen outside the three-point line immediately delayed Li Ze's pursuit, but Blake lacked confidence and failed to make a shot at the first time when there was a gap, but took an extra step with his left hand.

The combination of golden [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall] + [Death Coil] badge makes Li Ze very aggressive when defending pick-and-rolls. Seeing that Blake hesitated before shooting a jumper, Li Ze successfully interfered by his side.

After two points, he hit the iron again, the rebound bounced out, and it fell directly into Li Ze's hands, and then immediately launched a conversion attack. This time, Andrew Goodlock immediately chose a tactical foul.

"Shh!"

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were very dissatisfied with this foul and immediately booed loudly. When Li Ze dribbled through halftime again, Matt Barnes immediately came to Li Ze.

"V"-shaped attack, Ibaka and Collison came to the left and right elbows, Cook and Sefolosha sank to the left and right bottom corners, as soon as Gasol saw the Thunder's offensive formation, Remind Troy Murphy loudly now:

"Delay up!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand outside the three-point line, swayed to the right, and then changed his direction significantly.

Matt Barnes' defensive center of gravity had just shifted to the left, and Li Ze's left hand changed direction very quickly. After lowering the center of gravity and turning his hip, he exerted force with his left foot and accelerated directly.

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene only saw two slaps by Li Ze, Matt Barnes' defense was gone, and there was a huge cheer immediately, Troy Murphy was just delayed, but couldn't keep up with Li Ze's speed , was easily broken through again.

Seeing that there was no one under the basket, Li Ze rushed up, stretched his body in the air, pulled the bar easily, and made a reflexive dunk!
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
"Excellent breakthrough! Coach Mike Brown should consider bringing the main lineup back."

Steve Kerr really knows Mike Brown very well. Seeing that Li Ze could not restrain him, the Lakers immediately requested a timeout, and then regained the main lineup. Kobe took a break for more than a minute in the second quarter and could only advance play.

When the Lakers were attacking, Kobe caught the ball at the left elbow of the free line after covering. Seeing that Li Ze was close to the defense, he swayed from right to left, mustered enough strength, and crossed the dribble to break through.

Li Ze successfully predicted Kobe's offensive choice. While sliding backwards, he always defended oppressively on his side, forcing Kobe to stop the ball in the block position.

Annoyed, Kobe didn't choose to pass the ball, but after feinting, against Li Ze's block, he forced a fallback jumper.

As soon as the ball came out of his hand, Li Ze immediately jumped up and sent out the volleyball cap, fanning the ball out of the sideline!
The exaggerated block made Turtle and Durant on the sidelines jump up and down, frantically tossed the towel, and the atmosphere team also screamed, Li Ze, who had completed the block, put on a cold boss look at Kobe Shake your finger, and the referee immediately whistles:
"Squeak!" The referee immediately whistled Li Ze for a technical foul.
"Hey! Boy! Be respectful!"

Matt Barnes put on a vicious expression, and jumped out at the first time to help the boss to vent his anger, but when he saw Li Ze turned his head and left, leaving him with the back of his head, he almost exploded in anger, obviously didn't look down on him
Ibaka saw that the other party wanted to go forward, so he immediately went up and pushed, and Sefolosha and Collison immediately surrounded him. Fisher saw that something was wrong, and quickly went up to pull everyone away.

Kobe was naturally pissed off by Li Ze's actions. After completing the free throw, he immediately turned on the Mamba mode. In the next few minutes, he faced Li Ze's defense in a frenzied singles.

And Li Ze's defensive skills, with the addition of the golden badge, have completely bid farewell to the rookie stage.

[Ankle Brace] + [Mark-up Expert] makes him seldom falter when defending alone, and [Bronze Wall] + [Death Coil] + [Defensive Deterrence] makes him extremely aggressive when defending against pick-and-rolls.

The most important thing is that Kobe's physical explosiveness has declined with age, and his superb skills are completely suppressed by Li Ze's oppressive defense. The more he throws, the more iron he throws.
The Lakers began to hit the iron, which allowed the Thunder to always get the opportunity to switch offenses. They didn't need to throw three-pointers, and they didn't need to attack in positions. After a rush, the point difference soon came to 13 points.

At the end of the half, the score between the two sides was 43:58. After Li Ze took a break in the second quarter, Durant and Guigui widened the point difference again. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to revel, and the Lakers had passed. angry!

"Kobe was completely suppressed by Kayce on both offensive and defensive ends. He scored 14 of 4 in the half and only scored 10 points. If he wants to recover the point difference in the second half, the offensive end must share the ball!"

Reggie Miller didn't want the game to take too early either, so he bluntly pointed out the problems of the Lakers during the intermission. Steve Kerr looked at the technical statistics in his hand and nodded accordingly.

"Kayce was 10 of 7 in the half, 1 of 1 from three-pointers, scored 17 points, and most of the points were through transitions or breakthroughs. The Lakers really need to improve their shooting percentage. On the rebound, Ibaka was in the first half. The field did very well.”

The two were discussing the strategy of the Lakers in the second half in the commentary booth. In the locker room of the visiting team, the head coach Mike Brown looked at Kobe, who was clearly above him, and didn't say much. Instead, he patted Kobe on the shoulder encouragingly, let it go.
After the start of the third quarter, the Thunder took the lead in attacking. Turtle, who had just dribbled halfway, suddenly changed direction in front of Fisher's defensive ball, then accelerated directly with the ball in his left hand, and went straight into the penalty area.

Li Ze saw that the tortoise made a successful breakthrough from the right flank of the three-point line, and immediately started it. After faking the upper line, with the help of Perkins' cover, he suddenly ran back and cut in.

Kobe's defense was blocked for a while and he lost his position, but Bynum hadn't reacted until he was on the line. The turtle in the breakthrough sent a high-throw pass with his left hand. Although the pass was a bit high, it jumped high. Li Ze still succeeded in catching the ball.

After a short stay in the air, amidst the cheers of Oklahoma City fans, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, stretched his body and pulled it back, and made a powerful tomahawk dunk!

"OH! Beautiful pass!"

The offense was completed in an instant, the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly, and the Oklahoma City fans at the scene also began to cheer for the wonderful alley-oop dunk.

The tortoise who sent the assist first completed a set of gaudy gestures and celebrations with Li Ze, and then screamed strangely while returning to defense, looking very excited. When the Lakers attacked, Kobe seemed to regain his composure and began to hit the ball inside. .

As a result, Bynum faced Perkins' defense, held high and hit the iron stiffly at the basket. The rebound was protected by Ibaka, and then directly sent the ball to Li Ze.

After receiving the pass, he dribbled the ball with his left hand behind his back, and then immediately changed his direction in front of him, completely avoiding Kobe's delay. Li Ze continued to accelerate with his left hand.

Noticing that Durant on the right was unguarded, he immediately sent a long-distance ground pass. The latter caught the ball and rushed straight up in three strides. Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, he easily completed a one-handed dunk!

"Boom!" The converted dunk was successful!
Durant, who successfully dunked, stood under the basket and beat his chest, while Li Ze glanced back and saw that Artest gave up chasing and defending, and he was a little surprised.

Seeing that the point difference continued to widen, Kobe seemed to want to stand up and save the team. After Fisher dribbled halfway, he immediately asked for the ball from beyond the three-point line.

Feeling the defensive pressure from his side, Kobe, who broke through to the right block position, immediately started to play with his back. After switching to his left hand, he slammed hard, and then his body swayed. up and down steps.

But at the moment when the ball was exposed, Li Ze, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately cut the ball vigorously with his right hand. After Kobe dropped the ball, he reacted very quickly and immediately controlled the ball. Hold the ball firmly.

Kobe has been on fire in this game. Seeing that Li Ze was going to steal the ball again, he immediately followed suit. The two hugged the ball almost at the same time, and the two sides were completely entangled in the paint.

When the referee whistled the two sides for the ball, Kobe, who was so angry, couldn't help cursing in a low voice:
"Shet!"

There was no suspense in the jump ball. With his excellent bounce, Li Ze successfully jumped back the ball for the Thunder. This made the Oklahoma City fans on the scene cheer again. tactics.

Turtle and Durant played 2-on-2 on the right side, and Ibaka sat near the bottom line and waited for the cake.

After Durant broke through and scored the ball, the turtle at the top of the arc received the ball again, and at this time Li Ze suddenly started in the left corner, using Perkins' sudden up screen, he easily came to the left flank outside the three-point line .

Seeing Li Ze running out of space, Guigui immediately sent a cross pass, and Bynum's defensive attention was still on Durant who broke through just now. The Thunder moved the ball quickly, making the big man's reaction slow It took half a beat.
When Kobe chased and defended in place, Li Ze had already made a quick jumper one step away from the left flank of the three-point line!
"BANG! Kayce from downtown!"

The long-range three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan shout passionately again. Li Ze, who threw the three-pointer, smiled at Kobe, and then raised his hands to accept the cheers of the fans.

Coach Mike Brown on the sidelines felt that the atmosphere in the Chesapeake Energy Arena was getting hotter, and he was a little confused. The Thunder's offense was too vigorous.
Although in the next game, Gasol successfully hit the basket several times, but Bynum kept hitting the iron. Under no choice, Kobe began to break through with the ball crazily, standing on the free throw line for several consecutive rounds .

But because the defensive end also consumed a lot of physical energy, Kobe's shooting was completely lost. In the last attack of the third quarter, Kobe suddenly started with 3 seconds left.

The right hand suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, then the left hand held the ball to accelerate the breakthrough, crossed the free throw line and dribbled back, and then combined with the ball. Kobe was very depressed when he saw that Li Ze didn't falter at all, and finally defended against the middle distance Force a jump shot.

"buzz"

"state!"

The buzzing of the timer sounded, and Kobe made another iron at the end. He made 4 of 1 free throws in a single quarter and 7 of 6 free throws. Dream back to the Western Conference semifinals.

At 62:88, after three quarters, the Thunder have led by 26 points.

Everyone in the Lakers team who returned to the bench was stunned, and head coach Mike Brown was also completely dumbfounded. Losing like this is a big embarrassment!In this quarter, the game suffered many transitions. Such a large point difference was mostly caused by the transition of 3 points.
Kobe sat on the seat with a grim expression, panting continuously, and after drinking a large mouthful of water, he even threw the water bottle on the floor. When the boss got angry, the atmosphere group didn't dare to speak.

Head coach Brooks thought that the Lakers would switch to a substitute lineup. After all, the point difference was already so big. When he saw that the opponent was still playing the main team, he immediately had a question mark on his forehead. Out of politeness, the Thunder also chose the main lineup to play.

Li Ze didn't care about playing for a while. At the beginning of the second half of the game, he basically focused on defense and three-point shooting. By the way, he also adjusted the new three-point shooting tactics, so his physical fitness was not consumed too much.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe couldn't move at all, but the stubborn Black Mamba just wanted to make a shot. After missing two three-pointers, he began to throw mid-range shots.

The result was naturally Bangbang hit the iron, suffered two waves of conversions, was thrown into a long-range three-pointer by Li Ze, and was hit by Durant into a 2+1, and the point difference directly passed 30.

The three people in the TNT commentary booth didn't know what to say. In fact, this kind of game is meaningless. The Lakers can't score 30 points in a quarter, and it is impossible to complete the chase.

In the first half of the 4th quarter, Kobe shot wildly. The black mamba above didn't even need a screen. In the end, Li Ze defended him with a 7-of-2 defense.

Every time the iron was struck, the Oklahoma City fans would cheer, but when the official timeout came, Kobe finally calmed down, put a towel over his head, and completely shut himself off.
Coach Mike Brown also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed to the atmosphere group to consume the rest of the time.

In the end, amid the cheers of Oklahoma City fans, the Thunder beat the Lakers 90:116 at home, winning another 11 consecutive victories before the All-Star Weekend.

After the game, the two sides still shook hands very friendly. After all, the All-Star Weekend is coming up next, so everyone is in a very good mood. Only Kobe held his face and did not say a word. After shaking hands, he turned and walked back to the player tunnel .

此时，李泽正在场边接受TNT记者的采访，本场比赛他出场了39分钟，18中12，其中三分球6中4，罚球6中6，拿到了全场最高的34分5篮板6助攻1盖帽2失误。

"Congratulations, Kayce, you won 11 consecutive victories before the All-Star Game. What are your plans for this All-Star Weekend?"

Seeing the blond reporter Christina Laidlow winking at him secretly, Li Ze felt a little helpless, but on the surface he replied with a smile:
"You know, we recently played two back-to-back games in a row, with only one day off in between, so I plan to take a good rest for a few days. Of course, I will definitely go all out for the All-Star Game."

Christina Laidlow then asked two more unnutritious questions, and then quietly handed Li Ze a note while shaking hands, then shook her waist, pretended to be serious, and asked Li Ze Ze bid farewell and left.

Although the other party is quite pretty, when thinking of the other party's identity as a reporter, Li Ze is doubly careful, and silently complained in his heart:

"America also dances with immortals."

On February 2th, the result of the game between the Thunder and the Lakers attracted the attention of many people. Kobe made 24 of 25 shots, 7 of 13 free throws, and 12 points. A little iron!

Before the All-Star Game, the Thunder continued to lead the league with a record of 32 wins and 2 losses, while the Heat and the Bulls also had a record of 27 wins and 7 losses. This made many commentators start to predict that the finals might still be the Thunder Team vs. Heat.

Although the performance of the Bulls has been ignored, Derrick Rose's popularity has increased, and jersey sales have also risen steadily.

However, for Li Ze, the rare vacation is to have a good rest. Durant still did not resist the temptation, and accepted the qualification for the three-point shooting contest handed over by Li Ze. These two days, he and Gui Gui have been grinding their guns.

This year's Rookie Challenge, the NBA has reformed the event again. The Rookie Challenge will no longer be divided into first and second grade groups, and the two sides will become Chuck and O'Neal.

In order to attract ratings, the league held a "draft" as early as February 2th, in conjunction with the TNT channel's frantic activities. Unfortunately, due to the impact of the shrinking season, the fans still didn't buy it
After Li Zefei arrived in Orlando, he also felt that this year's All-Stars seemed to be lacking in star flavor.

For the 2010 Dallas All-Stars, there were 10 people, and the atmosphere was very hot. For the 2011 Los Angeles All-Stars, Staples Arena gathered big names and stars from all walks of life.

As for this year's Orlando All-Stars, just look at the performers in the midfield and you will know how good they are. The local singers and the RAP little prince are quite different!

In the Rookie Challenge on the night of the 24th, Li Ze took Alexandra Daddario, who had been doing nothing all day long, to watch the game live. Since most of the girls around Li Ze have the attributes of money printing machines, they encountered such a salty fish , It really made him a little uncomfortable.

"After filming a few MVs, you went back to guard the printer. If Annie didn't pull you out, would you just want to stay at home?"

Upon hearing this, even though she was sitting in the front row, Alexandra was so angry that she pinched Li Ze severely, and then whispered:

"I don't have a suitable script, and I'm not short of money, why do I have to travel around? Besides, I also have a good job and have shot several magazine covers!"

Dabo Yujie's explanation made Li Ze feel a little speechless. What's the use of the magazine cover?

There are a lot of small magazines in New York, and there are countless beautiful girls. Apart from fair skin and a good figure, this one is really not as brave as some bold girls.

"It's good that you are happy! But these days, if you dress up well, and you really can't find a job, you can also come to Keds to endorse, if you have nothing to do, take some photos and post them on INS, which can not only gain fans, but also promote products."

Li Ze comforted again, seeing Alexandra's outfit tonight, he nodded in satisfaction.

Sister Dabo wore a pair of black slim-fit jeans tonight, with white Flow Velociti Wind running shoes on her feet, a white T-shirt and a black jacket, her hair was also tied up, and the overall trend was sporty.

The Rookie Challenge hasn't started yet, and Griffin is warming up with a sore face. He has to participate in this competition this year, and this season's too many back-to-back games have made Griffin lose his enthusiasm for entering the league. .

The cute new Kyrie Irving noticed Li Ze on the sidelines at this time, and immediately dribbled the ball to him, and greeted him familiarly:

"Kayce, how about playing 7 balls together, I watched the Western Conference semifinals last year, it was really cool, you completely suppressed Kobe, you also played very well in the first two days of the game, I like your play style!"

Li Ze saw the appearance of cute new Kyrie Irving eager to try, just smiled and shook his head, and politely refused:

"One-on-one with a small guy is bullying, but if we meet in the regular season, I will definitely not show mercy. Don't underestimate Kobe. Although his athletic ability has declined, he is still a superstar in the league."

Kyrie Irving obviously didn't agree with Li Ze's words. He is only two years younger than Li Ze, and he is this year's No. [-] pick. Although the Cavaliers have a bad record, Irving is very confident in his skills:
"I can also beat Kobe. The Black Mamba is old, just like Michael Jordan of the Wizards. Young people like us are the future of the league."

"Kayce, if I win the Rookie Challenge MVP, how about you playing a one-on-one match with me? Is this a fair condition?"

Li Ze looked at the energetic Mengxin Owen, and felt a little funny in his heart, but seeing the expectant eyes of the other party, he still stretched out his fist, and agreed happily:

"No problem! MVP vs. MVP, that's only fair!"

"Cool! Bro!"

Kyrie Irving hurriedly bumped his fists, and then returned to the field to warm up contentedly. Li Ze saw the opponent's back and smiled in his heart. The reason why he agreed to the opponent was also to test the newly upgraded badge:
Achievement Badge [Enter the Rhythm]: 1/500
The more shots you make, the higher the shooting percentage in the whole game. You can freely choose the BUFF activation time (the status lasts for 3 minutes after activation)

When Li Ze thought of enabling this BUFF in the heads-up competition, he almost laughed out loud:
"I hope that Mengxin will not leave a psychological shadow, the comparison is really unreasonable"
