The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 264 Integrating Offense and Defense (Ten Thousand Word Chapter)

In NBA circles, the so-called team basketball and talent basketball have been debated endlessly. Although the NBA is regarded as a large-scale sports reality show, many coaches are from the academy.

Of course there are many coaches who pay attention to tactics, strict discipline, and lead the team with an iron wrist. After coming to the NBA, they have not achieved much success. After all, fans like to watch superstar basketball, and coaches often compromise.

Although Steve Kerr won a championship with Michael Jordan, he was attracted by Popovich's tactical thinking when he was an assistant coach with the Spurs.

The Western Conference Finals G1 halftime ended. The Thunder played an excellent offense in the second quarter. At halftime, the Oklahoma City fans were cheering. In the commentary booth of TNT, Reggie Miller was in a good mood and couldn’t help but tease Take Steve Kerr:

"The Spurs' share of the ball is really good, but I think they need a superstar like Kayce. Duncan is old. Maybe the Spurs should consider upgrading."

Steve Kerr had a happy quarter. In the second quarter, the Thunder completely destroyed the Spurs' defense with transition offense and unreasonable star singles. This made him very depressed. Hearing what his partner said, he was helpless. Rebutted:
"The Thunder team is indeed very good, but from a tactical point of view, the Thunder team has become more and more monotonous since the rookie season. By this season, they have begun to rely heavily on the personal abilities of Kayce and Durant."

"In terms of tactical choices, I think the Thunder should be richer. Once the star players are not in good condition, too many singles will quickly put the team in trouble."

When Reggie Miller heard this point of view, he immediately refuted:

"The Spurs had 13 turnovers in the first half to the Thunder's four. Relying on star players in the playoffs was the right thing to do."

"And real superstars can't be restricted in the playoffs. They will always maintain an excellent state. Kayce is like this. Durant has also done very well this year. This is what they can get super top salary reason."

The commentator Kevin Harlan saw that the two had a tendency to quarrel, so he quickly acted as a peacemaker and changed the subject:

"We can look forward to how the Spurs adjust in the second half. In the first two rounds of the series, the Spurs rotated 11 people. On the bench, Coach Popovich still has many options!"

During the intermission, the head coach Popovich first sent out thick chicken soup, and did not talk about tactical adjustments at all. At the beginning of the third quarter, he did not play any tricks, but honestly took back the main force line-up.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and the double-digit lead made the players completely relaxed. The happy Oklahoma City fans began to cheer for the home team excitedly:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

After halftime, Turtle noticed that the Spurs were still man-to-man defense, and immediately made an offensive gesture. Danny Green saw Li Ze start to turn his back to the left block to ask for the ball, and several times went half-around to defend. Don't let Li Ze catch the ball easily.

However, there is an all-round gap between the two in terms of physical fitness, game experience, and positioning skills. Li Ze's experience in the playoffs is much richer than the opponent's, and he usually faces off with the league's superstar, Danny- Green was simply not good enough in front of him.

Simply leaning on the opponent with his body, every time the opponent wants to go around to defend, Li Ze can easily predict, easily get the opponent firmly behind him, receive the high-throwing pass from the turtle, and release the ball with his right hand. Quickly back to back.

Bang and bang twice, Danny Green's chest felt tight after being hit, and at the same time he took two steps back, and was once again knocked into the paint by Li Ze.

When Li Ze used his left foot as the axis and pulled the ball back with his right hand, Danny Green was completely stunned and didn't know how to defend.

Taking advantage of the time when the opponent's defense was absent-minded, Li Ze twisted his body forward, and at the same time exerted force with his feet, twisted his body, and shot a jumper from the position of the block!
"Kayce Fade away! He got it!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan saw that Li Ze easily hit the fadeaway jumper, and his tone became more brisk.

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene continued to cheer, and the head coach Popovich standing on the sidelines didn't want to yell at the players anymore. Of course he could see that Danny Green had tried his best.

Noticing that Danny Green was staring blankly at Li Ze's retreat, Tim Duncan immediately went over and patted his teammates, reminding them to continue to stay focused.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Duncan crossed the bottom line and came to the right block to receive the ball. Facing Perkins' defense, he made a simple three-threat, and then quickly shot a mid-range jumper.

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

Obviously, after the second quarter of the game, the Spurs also began to give the ball to the core players as much as possible. Some ineffective conduction balls could not get points, but simple superstar singles, the effect was exceptionally good.

In the next three minutes or so, the Spurs slowed down their offensive rhythm. At the same time, the offensive end tried to end Parker and Duncan. Everyone else turned into tool men waiting to eat cakes.

With 3 minutes and 7 seconds left in the third quarter, Kawhi Leonard got an open three-pointer in the left corner, received a pass from Diaw, and immediately shot a jumper:
"Bang!" The open three-point strike.

The long rebound popped out and fell directly into Li Ze's arms. With the ball in his right hand, he accelerated across the half court. Danny Green was always firmly attached to his side. Shaking a stagger.

Noticing that everyone on the Spurs had retreated, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture, and then gave the ball to Perkins who was on the right elbow of the free throw line, and then cut in the middle and moved to the right corner.

The Thunder were very patient in this attack. Through the hand-to-hand cover of two big players, the trio quickly handed over from outside the three-point line. With 12 seconds left in the shot clock, Durant's left hand at the top of the arc With the ball, move to the left wing.

Quickly completed a hand-to-hand pass with Li Ze and took advantage of the situation to make a cover. Kawhi Leonard saw his teammate lose his position and immediately switched defenses. After receiving the pass, Li Ze made a concealed twist of his hip and lowered his center of gravity Use your feet to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in your right hand.

The sudden acceleration made Kawhi Leonard subconsciously slide backwards, but he saw Li Zeyun take a big step, dribble vigorously on the spot with his right hand, and then retreated to the outside of the three-point line, making an easy jump shot!

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

"Wonderful goal! Very simple technical moves, quick stop and quick start, easy to get rid of the defense, Kayce's ability to combine the ball this season is even better!"

Reggie Miller on the commentary was smiling and started blowing immediately. The head coach Popovich on the sidelines immediately asked for a timeout out of caution. Every time he saw the Thunder hit a three-pointer, the old man was worried that the opponent would Outburst.

After the timeout, the Spurs' offense still slowed down, but this time Tim Duncan's mid-range was hit, the rebound was accepted by Ibaka, and the Thunder quickly passed the half court again.

Danny Green put all his defensive attention on Li Ze. When the turtle was playing the pick-and-roll attack at the 5th position on the line, Dior noticed Ibaka's movements and immediately reminded Danny Green loudly:

"Switch defenses!"

But amidst the huge noise in the arena, Danny Green didn't hear his teammates' reminders at all.

Li Ze, who was on the left flank outside the three-point line, saw the turtle start to break through, and immediately started to use Ibaka's upper screen to move to the left bottom corner.

Danny Green squeezed through quickly, and Dior was about to switch defenses. The two rushed towards Li Ze at the same time, but they bumped into each other. They watched Li Ze catch the ball in the bottom corner and make a jump shot with ease!

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

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Danny Green being knocked to the floor by his teammates, and immediately roared with laughter. Popovich on the sidelines said nothing, but shook his head helplessly. The lineup really needs to be adjusted.
With two consecutive three-pointers, the point difference reached 19 points in an instant, and the Spurs began to worry!

After half court, Tony Parker used Duncan's pick-and-roll to get rid of the tortoise's defense, broke through the middle, turned around on the way, and came to the basket to make a throw.

Although Perkins was out of position, Ibaka had already given up on the defender, retreated to the basket, and directly sent a pegboard cap!The ball popped out, Turtle successfully controlled the ball, and the Thunder immediately launched a conversion attack.

Everyone in the Spurs retreated desperately. Danny Green felt a little frustrated. Seeing Li Ze catch the ball on the wing again after halftime, his scalp immediately tingled.
Noticing that Danny Green was standing with his feet parallel, Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line, suddenly pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction.

The golden [Emergency Stop Master] + [First Step Master] brought a huge bonus to Li Ze's activation. Danny Green quickly slid backwards, but at the moment the two of them made contact, they were immediately hit and lost their center of gravity , The defense completely lost its position.

Duncan, who was at the basket, was still directing his teammates to defend and set up. Hearing the loud cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, he turned his head quickly and found that Li Ze had already rushed to the penalty area.

Duncan subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, but the take-off height was not high enough, and he just hit Li Ze on the shoulder. In the air confrontation, Li Ze was not affected at all. He grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and made a powerful tomahawk dunk!
"squeak!"

"Oh! Kayce Slam dunk! My God!"

Seeing that Tim Duncan almost rushed to the street after landing, the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly, and Li Ze, who completed the dunk, looked calm and beat his chest to the camera under the basket.

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers when they saw Li Ze pretending to be X silently. Everyone in the Thunder team also looked excited, and immediately gathered around and shouted.

"This is the personal ability of a superstar. Kayce once again destroyed the Spurs' outside line and made an extra penalty. The point difference will reach 22 points. The Spurs are in a scoring drought. Someone must stand up and score at this time!"

Steve Kerr looked at the Spurs team that was about to collapse, and secretly cried in his heart, it's a pity that Duncan is still old.

Danny Green completely broke the defense this time. In this quarter of the game, his defense has not been successful.

And because of the huge effort on the defensive end, and the offensive end is also a bit stretched, he didn't dare to dribble in front of Li Ze, for fear of being intercepted accidentally.

Li Zejia made a steady free throw, and Popovich asked for a timeout again. The old man saw that everyone on the Spurs back on the bench looked frustrated, and looked at the point difference, and felt that the game was almost over.
In the remaining 3 minutes of the third quarter, Li Ze turned on the [Enter the Rhythm] buff. As soon as Ginobili came off the bench, he was very uncomfortable by Li Ze's defense, and he didn't score a point in the last few minutes.

On the offensive end, Durant took over the offensive banner again, whether it was singles or catch-and-shoot, all hits easily.

The new Leonard is still inexperienced and can't limit Durant's offense at all. With 20 seconds left, he was fouled for the fourth time by a giant loop.
In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City fans had already begun to celebrate the victory of the game, and the head coach Popovich also sat back on the bench at this time.

At 17:32 in a single quarter, after three quarters, at 62:90, the Spurs have fallen behind by 28 points, and the game has completely lost suspense.

During the break during the festival, Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand, smiled and said to Steve Kerr beside him:

"The playoffs are a stage for stars. The Spurs' outside line seems to have failed to fulfill their talents. If the head coach Popovich can't solve the problem of outside line defense in the series, then I believe the Western Conference Finals will come soon. There will be a winner."

“16中11，其中三分球5中3，罚球5中5，30分5篮板4助攻1抢断1失误，如果Kayce一直保持这样的效率，雷霆队将无法阻挡。”

Hearing his partner’s words, Steve Kerr’s mouth twitched. Li Ze scored 1/3 of the team’s points alone, while the Spurs only scored 62 points in three quarters. With such scoring ability, how could the Spurs surpass him? live.
"I believe that Popovich's head coach will adjust in time. Maybe he can try to use Stephen Jackson to match Durant and let Kawhi Leonard defend Kayce. Of course, if he loses two consecutive away games, then G3 There's a lot of pressure."

Steve Kerr no longer praised the so-called team basketball. The Spurs were tossing around on the outside, but they couldn't score. This scene also made him look stupid.
The fourth quarter of the game turned into garbage time. In the TNT commentary booth, the three of them also began to make a preview for the upcoming game.

Perhaps it was because of the Western Conference finals. After the atmosphere group of the two teams came on stage, the scene was a bit ugly, but the Oklahoma City fans at the scene didn't care about it at all. The Thunder cheered loudly every time they scored a goal.

The referee didn't want to watch the rookies peck each other anymore, the game went on quickly, and finally, at 86:112, the Thunder beat the Spurs at home, and the series came to 1:0!

After the loss, the Spurs looked calm. After the game, players from both sides shook hands briefly. Li Ze, who scored a game-high 30 points, was being interviewed by TNT's well-known sideline reporter Craig Sager.

This man was wearing a blue and white plaid suit today. Seeing the other party's happy expression, Li Ze immediately laughed and said jokingly:

"Mr. Sager, how does it feel to see an old friend lose?"

Hearing Li Ze's ridicule, Craig Sager rubbed the corners of his eyes pretendingly, and then said in an exaggerated tone:

"I feel sorry for Popovich, but I love the Thunder. I've become a fan of yours for a long time. Kayce, congratulations on your victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. You look like you won very easily. For the next game , what expectations do you have?"

"We will protect the home court. The Spurs have a wealth of game experience. The playoffs start with away games. Of course, we will not give up the initiative to our opponents. I will go all out in every playoff game."

Craig Sager nodded, then smiled again and asked:

"I mean if, if the Thunder reach the Finals, which team do you prefer to face, for tomorrow's Eastern Conference Finals, which team do you think wins?"

"I am more optimistic about the home team. I believe that the Heat will not make mistakes. Of course, if we reach the finals, I don't really care who the opponent is. No one can limit the Thunder. We will bring the O'Brien Cup to the Back to Oklahoma City!"

After this post-match interview was broadcast, many Lemon Jing fans broke their defenses immediately, and there were also many Comeys in Amerika. Seeing the Thunder win, they couldn't help feeling sour.

That night, the Thunder team section of Reddit was flushed again. Comey crazily complained about Li Ze's arrogance. Jamie and Heat fans also joined in the fun, and then Cavaliers fans immediately confronted Jamie. Various posts followed one after another.
On May 5, everyone in the Thunder team simply carried out recovery training. The schedule of the Western Conference Finals was also very tight. There was less than two days of rest, so it was difficult for the two sides to make too many adjustments.

Head coach Brooks and the coaching staff are full of confidence. After the first game, they can see that the Spurs' outside lines are all paper tigers. Li Ze is the absolute strength, and Durant's performance is also not bad.

In the G1 game, Durant scored 16 of 8 and scored 25 points, and Turtle scored 13 of 7 and scored 18 points. With the performance of the trio, Brooks' head coach is beckoning him in the finals.

"If the Heat lose the Eastern Conference finals, it will be very interesting, but considering that the Celtics and the 76ers have a tie-breaker, I still think the Heat will definitely win."

During lunch time, Durant, who turned into a keyboard warrior last night, was in a particularly good mood, and couldn't help thinking about his opponent in the finals.

"The Celtics will definitely have physical problems. They only take a day off after grabbing 7. It is difficult for the veterans to recover to their best condition. The league should change the schedule of the finals this year. 2-3-2 is a little bit for us. unfair."

Hearing Guigui's words, Li Zecai realized that his teammates seemed to have gone to heaven, and didn't pay attention to the Spurs at all, so he quickly reminded:
"Maybe it's better to think about these after we get the match point. The Spurs' away game is definitely not easy!"

"It doesn't matter, Kayce, anyway, with you here, the opponent can't limit your performance at all, and we will definitely advance easily."

"The GDP combination is old, and the Spurs are already playing the regular season, sweeping all the way to the finals, which is really cool!"

The atmosphere team followed suit, and everyone believed that the Thunder would continue to sweep. Li Ze saw his teammates go crazy and poisoned him, and felt powerless to complain:
"I hope I won't be overwhelmed by milk."

In the Eastern Conference finals that night, the Celtics' offense was completely hip. Ray Allen was 7 of 1, and the Heat relied on the outstanding performance of James and Wade to successfully defeat their opponents 79:93.

LeBron James made 22 of 13 shots and scored 32 points. Wade scored 13 of 8 points and scored 22 points. The brothers' basketball status became better and better. After the game, various ball critics once again sang praises for the Heat.

The NBA seems to have begun to build momentum for the Heat and the Thunder. The young Big Three will have a rematch. Everyone loves this situation!
On the evening of the 29th, G2 of the Western Conference finals officially started. Compared with the game the day before yesterday, the two sides did not change the starting lineup. For the Spurs, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Boris Diaw continued to start.

In the game that night, the Spurs suddenly lost power in the second quarter and only scored 2 points in a single quarter, while the Thunder easily scored 17 points. At the end of the halftime game, at 32:43, the Thunder led by 60 points!
Oklahoma City fans at the scene have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game.

"Fantastic Ibaka, 6 of 6 from mid-range in the first half, scored 14 points, Kayce sent 5 assists in the half, and also scored 9 of 5, 4 of 4 free throws, also scored 14 points, the Thunder team more Blossom, tonight's offensive state is too good!"

Reggie Miller was also excited, praising the performance of the Thunder crazily.

Steve Kerr doesn’t want to mention any team basketball at this time. Tim Duncan made 9 of 4 in the first half, 3 of 1 free throws, and scored the highest 9 points of the Spurs. This scoring ability is comparable to that of the Thunder. It's significantly worse than that!

"The Spurs need to make adjustments. The current starting lineup can't limit the Thunder's offense at all on the defensive end. I hope that the head coach Popovich can try a different lineup in the second half."

Coach Popovich seemed to have heard Steve Kerr's suggestion, and took Stephen Jackson in the second half, replacing Danny Green, who had a poor hand in the second half.

But this night was destined to belong to Ibaka. With a big lead, Ibaka was completely relaxed.

Throughout the second half of the game, Li Ze completely suppressed the newcomer Kawhi Leonard on both offense and defense. Although Tim Duncan scored 8 points in 5 of 12 in the second half, he still could not narrow the point difference.

Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, at 99:116, the Thunder beat their opponents again by a big score at home, and the series score became 2:0.

Li Ze asked for the game ball after the game. Ibaka made 11 of 11 tonight, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks. At this time, the Mr. Quanzhong was present with an excited face While accepting interviews with TNT reporters.

Turtle and Durant brought two bottles of ice water and directly attacked the best player of the night. Ibaka was poured into screaming, and Li Ze brought the game ball to the camera. to the other party, and then said aloud:
"All 11 shots in the Western Conference finals, you are our superstar tonight!"

On the morning of May 5th, on TNT's Inside the NBA program, the host Ernie Johnson took the Big Three and crazily praised the performance of the Thunder, never mentioning that he was optimistic about the Spurs before.

“真是难以置信，雷霆队一定会轻松晋级，G2的比赛中Kayce15中8，其中三分球4中3，罚球6中6，25分4篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽2失误，很多时候马刺队只能选择犯规来阻止他。”

Kenny Smith is still playing the role of Li Zechui, and Charles Barkley has also become a fool, and he also followed suit and praised:

"The Thunder's role players are getting better and better. I think they will easily advance to the finals. The Spurs should consider upgrading. Tim Duncan is no longer the omnipotent power forward he used to be. gone."

"Maybe this year will be the rematch between the Heat and the Thunder. I expect LeBron James to complete his revenge. He lost the MVP this season. Believe me, LeBron in the finals will prove himself again!"

O'Neal still supports James, and the host Ernie Johnson immediately said with a smile after hearing what the three of them said:

"It seems that you all want to see the confrontation between the young Big Three, but I think the Celtics still have a chance, and the veterans will not give up easily!"

In the Eastern Conference finals that night, the Heat were almost overwhelmed. In the fourth quarter, the offense was suddenly cut off. The Celtics successfully tied the score, and the two sides entered an overtime battle.

In overtime, Rondo scored all 12 points of the Celtics, and the Heat's Wade stepped forward again, constantly standing on the free throw line to score points for the Heat.

加时赛12:16，全场比分111:115，热火队艰难保护下主场，系列赛大比分同样来到2:0。

勒布朗-詹姆斯全场20中7，其中三分球6中2，罚球24中18，拿到34分10篮板7助攻，韦德15中8，罚球11中7，高效砍下23分。

The performance of the two was once again praised by various sports media.

On the night of the 31st, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, on the brink of elimination, the Spurs exploded, and Tony Parker once again blasted the turtles!
21 of 16, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, 34 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 turnovers. The series is still in suspense.

After losing a game, everyone in the Thunder team was not affected too much. After all, 111 points showed that their offense was fine.

However, Durant seemed very depressed. In tonight's game, the young Leonard also performed very well. He scored 12 points on 7 of 6 shots and nearly 18% of the field goals. Obviously, Durant was a bit overwhelmed.

"In the next game, I must lock the rookie with facial paralysis, 120 points, Xie Te! The Spurs are really crazy."

Guigui sat in his seat, thinking of Parker's performance, he was a little speechless. The opponent beat him during the regular season, and the mid-distance of the emergency stop of the French sports car is sometimes so accurate.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we still have the home court advantage. In the next game, pay attention to the opponent's high pick-and-roll."

Li Ze is very aware of Turtle's defensive problems. Parker is fast and the Spurs' screen quality is high. Once the opponent finds the mid-range touch, it is really difficult to defend.

There is still only one day of adjustment time. On the night of June 6, Popovich stood in the middle of the locker room and praised Parker in a different way:

"Tony, believe in yourself, we need you to show the performance of the last game on the offensive end, running off the ball, covering pick-and-rolls, cutting in and scoring, and maintaining this offensive rhythm."

"As long as we win this game, we will win the Tianwangshan battle! We have to play for each other, trust our teammates, protect our rebounds, and not give the opponent a chance to easily switch!"

Tony Parker enjoyed such treatment very much. In the last game, Popovich let go of the shackles and made him the team's first offensive option. Hearing the old man's praise again, Parker was even more motivated , it's time to become the star of the team!
The G4 game is very important. Coach Popovich trusts veterans more. Ginobili returned to the starting lineup, replacing Danny Green, who had been performing poorly before, and the Spurs directly took the GDP combination.

At the end of the halftime game, the Spurs fans in the AT Center Arena were cheering loudly. At 63:54, with their crazy offense, the Spurs took a 9-point lead at halftime.

"Tony Parker performed too well. He scored 14 of 8 in the half and scored 21 points. Stephen Jackson, who came off the bench, scored 4 of 4 from outside and scored 12 points. The Spurs blossomed."

Steve Kerr was in a good mood when he saw the Spurs taking the lead. During the intermission, he was the first to send words of praise.

"The Thunder had some problems with the pick-and-roll defense, but the 9-point difference was not that big. Kayce made 10 of 5 in the half, including 5 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points. Durant also had 14. Points are scored, and the offensive state of the core players is still very good."

Reggie Miller couldn't help being a little worried when he saw the sudden explosion of Tony Parker. In many cases, the state of star players can determine the direction of a game. Obviously, the Spurs seem to have found a way to win.

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Thunder locker room was a bit dull. The offensive state was good in the first half, but Parker's outburst really poured cold water on everyone in the Thunder team. The Spurs are not weak if they can reach the Western Conference Finals.

"Russell, I'll defend Parker in the second half, stay on the offensive, and I'll lock him down!"

When Guigui heard Li Ze's words, he wanted to persevere, but when he thought of losing this game, the team would have to fight Tianwangshan, so he stopped competing with himself, and immediately nodded in agreement:

"No problem, I feel good tonight, we will reverse the game."

Durant was relieved to see Li Ze propose to switch defenses. On the offensive end, he can still use his strength. Let him defend against the fast and small guards. The effect is basically the same as that of the turtle.
Coach Brooks felt relieved when he saw Li Ze stepping up to take on the defensive task, and immediately gave him chicken soup for his soul:

"Very good, just 9 points, we still have two quarters to play, the opponent's offensive rhythm is very fast in tonight's game, and in the second half, we have to be faster than the opponent, switch, pick and roll, have opportunities, quickly complete the offense, and then Grab the offensive rebounds!"

"."

At the start of the third quarter, the Thunder took the lead in attacking. At the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans wearing white cheering T-shirts immediately began to shout for the home team:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After halftime, Guigui immediately gave the ball to Li Ze. It was still his usual pistol tactic. After handing over the ball, he immediately went over to pretend to hand over, and at the same time, Perkins on the inside put up a screen.

Ginobili was not disturbed by the cover of the tortoise, and still stared at Li Ze's movements firmly.

Seeing Li Ze break through with the ball in his left hand, Perkins' screen hangs for a while, and then immediately goes down, taking away Duncan's defense.

Worried about Li Ze passing the ball, Duncan responded to Ginobili, while guarding against Perkins' slid down. Li Ze's breakthrough speed was not fast, and Ginobili was always pressing by his side. Pull it next time.

Ginobili paused slightly in defense, but did not lose his position. As a result, his chest felt tight in the next second. Seeing that Li Ze had switched to holding the ball in his right hand and was hitting with his back, he quickly adjusted his defensive focus.

Bang and bang, Ginobili had no choice but to be thrown into the paint. He saw Li Ze pull the ball back with his right hand, and at the same time his shoulders shook confusingly. Turn around and step back for a jump shot!
"Kayce Fade away! That's good!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan's tone was brisk, and the Spurs fans at the scene immediately burst into boos.

Popovich on the sidelines was very calm. After all, he still had a 7-point lead. When he saw Li Ze leading Parker from halftime, he frowned, and then thought of Parker's speed, and felt relieved.

Tony Parker did not expect that in the second half it would be Li Ze who faced him and led the defense in the half. This scene is rare, but he quickly felt the defensive pressure.

Of course, Li Ze will not take the ball easily. The opponent is a small point guard, so there is nothing to say about his flexibility, but the bonus brought by the golden [ankle protector] + [marking master] can allow him to guard against the small back position. Will not lose position easily.

The Spurs' offense was still a high pick-and-roll. Parker was entangled by Li Ze for half the game. He just wanted to use Duncan's cover to get rid of the defense, but found that Li Ze quickly squeezed through.

Leading by half a body position, Parker suddenly crossed and dribbled back. As a result, Li Ze seemed to have been prepared and did not lose his position at all. Instead, he oppressed him again.
In desperation, he had no choice but to hand over the ball, then cut in without the ball, looking for opportunities, and got rid of it several times, but failed. Parker found that Li Ze was sticking to his side like brown sugar.

Duncan saw that it was difficult for Parker to catch the ball, and finally signaled for Ginobili to complete the attack. He went up and handed over the ball.
The long rebound was accepted by Durant, and the Thunder immediately launched a conversion attack. The Spurs retreated quickly. Durant immediately took the ball. As soon as Parker saw Li Ze receiving the ball from the left flank outside the three-point line, Want to step forward immediately for a tactical foul.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, easily dodged the opponent's defense, and then adjusted his footsteps. One step away from the three-point line, amidst the exclamation of the Spurs fans, he converted the three-pointer quickly Jump shot!
"BANG! BANG!"

"Kayce from downtown!"

The exaggerated conversion of the three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan scream excitedly, and the point difference instantly became 4 points. The head coach Popovich on the sidelines was a little anxious, and quickly reminded the players to pay attention to retreat .

After scoring the goal, Li Ze clapped his hands and loudly reminded his teammates to keep defending, and then immediately led the defense against Tony Parker. Everyone in the Thunder team was also excited at this time, 4 points difference, two rounds, it's over!
Tony Parker was distracted by Li Ze's defense. Li Ze didn't cut the ball easily, but stuck to him firmly. The two-meter player's defensive agility is so good. Parker is numb.
Ginobili hit the iron in the last round. This time the offense was just a transition ball from the outside. He passed Li Ze from outside the three-point line, and then Duncan mentioned again to go up the line to cover.

At this time, Li Ze didn't chase and defend, but used Duncan's body to quickly turn around and go off the line to block the opponent.

Parker, who was holding the ball in his left hand, thought he had gotten rid of Li Ze's. Just after taking a two-point pull-up jump shot from the top of the arc, the Spurs fans exclaimed.

"Snapped!"

Li Ze faced the big hat, slapped the ball directly to the front court, and then rushed across the half court without waiting for the opponent to react, caught up with the ball, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and immediately slowed down.

Ginobili, who was fully back on the defense, had no choice but to chase after him. The moment the two sides made contact, Li Ze leaned forward outside the three-point line and made a sudden stop to shoot a jumper!

"squeak!"

At the same time as the referee whistled, the ball drew a beautiful trajectory in the air, and then fell straight into the net!

"OH! OH! Unbelievable! My god!"

"Kayce Chance for four point play!"

The narrator Kevin Harlan immediately yelled crazily, shouting to God, Ginobili was already dumbfounded, and the turtle immediately followed up to celebrate.

"That's crazy! Bro!"

Everyone in the Thunder team clapped Li Ze's hands and shouted loudly.

When Li Ze stood on the free throw line, the Spurs fans on the scene immediately booed loudly. Popovich saw Li Ze's free throw made a steady hit, and suddenly broke the defense. In 2 minutes, the two sides fought Ping, 9 points difference!

Coach Popovich immediately asked for a timeout, and the old man couldn't accept such a scene.

Li Ze scored 9 points in a row and successfully helped the Thunder survive the most difficult period. After returning from the timeout, the Shunfeng Warriors finally went online. In the next minute, Li Ze activated the [Enter the Rhythm] buff and completely focused on defense.

In the offensive round of the Spurs, Tony Parker hit the iron again, the rebound was protected by Ibaka, the tortoise received the ball, and the Thunder launched a conversion attack.

"Defend! Don't switch, foul! Foul now!"

The old man was so excited that he almost rushed into the field and fouled himself. He kept roaring loudly. The line referee quickly signaled Popovich to pay attention to the sideline. If he went any further, he would violate the rule.
Leonard used a tactical foul at the first time, and then the Spurs quickly retreated. After Durant and Guigui attacked for several rounds in a row, Li Ze successfully breathed a sigh of relief. After halftime, he signaled to play a low post in this round. tactics.

When Ginobili saw Li Ze backing up for the ball in the left block, his scalp felt numb, and he tried his best to defend halfway around the front, but it didn't work at all. Seeing Li Ze catching the ball and shaking his shoulder, Ginobili directly chose to foul.
Everyone on the Spurs was numb. In the second half of the third quarter, they could only rely on fouls to stop the Thunder's offense. Tony Parker's offense was misfired, and Li Ze defended him for 3 of 7 in a single quarter. The offense was completely cut off.

When the third quarter ended, the Spurs fans in the AT Center Arena collectively broke the defense. At 3:18 in the single quarter, under the leadership of Li Ze, the Thunder successfully reversed the game and gained an 38-point lead.

Li Ze played the full third quarter. When he returned to the bench, the atmosphere team immediately handed over the water bottle, and the boss drank water. Li Ze sat in his seat, smiled at his teammates, and felt the atmosphere In the oppressive atmosphere, I thought happily in my heart:

"What is a superstar with both offense and defense! (Tactical retreat)"
