The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 265 How old are You
In the NBA, there has always been controversy over the definition of a superstar, but the combination of offense and defense is the most basic requirement.

For the traditional superstars in the past, if their teammates couldn't do things, then the core players must come forward, but with the development of the times, this concept has become outdated.

If the lineup is not suitable, then you can find a suitable lineup. If the team cannot meet the requirements, the big deal is to slap your ass and run away!
LeBron James' "Decision" can be regarded as the self-aware rise of a superstar, but for old-school players, this kind of brother basketball is a bit of a dislike in everyone's heart.

In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when Li Ze took the initiative to stand up to mark Tony Parker in the third quarter and locked the core of the Spurs' offense, Steve Kerr couldn't help but become Li Zechuan in the commentary seat of TNT during the break:

"Maybe that's why Kayce was able to win the MVP award for two consecutive years. When the Thunder had trouble defending the pick-and-roll, Kayce stood up and used his excellent defense to limit Tony Parker's offense. It's unbelievable. He's not yet 22 years old. !"

Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand and agreed with his partner very much, so he took over the conversation and immediately started blowing:
"The playoffs are the stage for stars. Kayce once again showed people his versatility. His defensive ability is definitely underestimated. I think he can defend from the 1st position to the 3rd position."

The commentator Kevin Harlan vaguely heard the sound of the Spurs fans cursing behind him, glanced at the technical statistics, and then began to praise the performance of the Thunder trio:
"Kayce scored 13 points in a single quarter, Durant scored 9 points, and Westbrook scored 7 points. All three continued their touch in the first half. The Thunder's role players also played well. They scored 3 points in the third quarter of the Western Conference finals. It's really crazy!"

The three people in the commentary crazily praised the Thunder's performance, while the Spurs' coach Popovich had already broken the defense on the Spurs bench.

With 18 points in a single quarter, leading halftime, the first quarter collapsed, thinking that he was still behind by 11 points, the anger in the old man's heart surged wildly.

"Defense! We must show a tough defensive attitude, there is still one quarter of the game, protect the rebounds, we still have a chance!"

Hearing what coach Popovich said, everyone on the Spurs quickly adjusted their emotions. Tim Duncan and Ginobili remained expressionless. The veterans have seen too many storms, and of course they will not give up the game easily.

In the last quarter of the game, the head coach Popovich also used the strongest tactics, and GDP made his debut directly.

If we lose tonight's game and the big score reaches 1:3, there will basically be no suspense in the series. At this time, we don't care about physical problems, and we're done!
The fourth quarter of the game has just started, the Spurs took the lead in attacking, and Duncan received the ball in the low position on the right after a cross screen.

Facing Perkins' defense, after three threats, he dropped the ball with his left hand, pretended to take the paint, took two big strides, quickly turned to the baseline, and then succeeded in throwing a shot with his right hand!

At the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans on the scene saw Duncan score, and immediately shouted excitedly, it's time for the star to stand up and save the team.

The Thunder quickly sent the ball to the baseline, but it was not affected in any way. After halftime, Turtle immediately gave the ball to Li Ze in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze also handled the ball very quickly. With a feint, he stepped directly with his right foot, and at the same time released the ball with his left hand, lowered the center, and crossed to the baseline to break through.

Ginobili slid backwards desperately. This time, Li Ze's breakthrough speed was not fast, and he used his body to protect the ball steadily. When he reached the left block position, he suddenly swayed with the ball. Ginobili just wanted to pounce. Defense, and then quickly controlled the defensive center of gravity of the body.

Li Ze took advantage of this time difference, exerted strength on his feet, twisted his body, and forced a mid-range jump shot!

"Knocks it down!"

The finisher Kevin Harlan saw Li Zeqiang make a shot, and instantly raised the commentary volume. The Spurs fans on the scene seemed to remember the situation in the playoffs the year before, and once again broke out with huge boos.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Ginobili was basically blown away by Li Ze. The head coach Popovich on the sidelines had no choice but to patrol the bench and finally just stood silently on the sidelines. Yes, remind the players to hold on.

When Tony Parker caught the ball from the baseline, he saw that Li Ze didn't seem to show any signs of fatigue, and he was still sticking to his side like brown sugar, and suddenly went numb. After halftime, Parker could clearly feel his physical strength has started to decline.

Duncan, who was on the pick-and-roll, saw that Li Ze was still full of energy, and felt a little speechless. Tony Parker was very depressed when the pick-and-roll was squeezed by Li Zemin again.

Li Ze seldom falters. He doesn't know how to copy the ball without absolute certainty. He can't get rid of the defense at all with a simple stop and start.

In this case, Parker returned the ball to Duncan again, and Ginobili immediately came to the outside to reorganize the offense.

As in the third quarter, without Tony Parker, the offensive arrow, it became extremely difficult for the Spurs to score.

Ginobili was a little anxious. After receiving the hand-off pass, he used Duncan to cover and made an emergency stop outside the three-point line to shoot a jumper!

"Bang!" Strike the iron again!
The long rebound popped out, but was easily accepted by Durant, and then immediately launched a conversion attack with the ball, quickly passed the half court, changed direction significantly in the process of advancing, then went straight into the penalty area, and finally caused Kawhi to return to defense - Leonard fouled.

The Spurs fans at the scene were dumbfounded. The Thunder's transition rhythm was too fast. The cute new Leonard had desperately returned to defense, but in the end he could only rely on fouls to stop Durant's attack.

"The Spurs need to score at this time, and being able to stand on the free throw line is also a good choice. If the point difference continues to expand, then the game may have no more suspense."

Steve Kerr saw that Durant made two free throws and the point difference came to 15 points. He sighed in his heart, the talent was crushed, and the Thunder's offense didn't make sense at all.

The Spurs scored piecemeal for the next few minutes, unable to improve the team's offense despite head coach Popovich's constant yelling from the sidelines.

Kawhi Leonard made a three-pointer from the left corner, Li Ze received the long rebound, and then Ginobili fouled immediately, Li Ze didn't care, seeing the assistant coach gesture to him, he immediately realized By the time the Spurs were fouled out.

After re-serving the ball, Li Ze immediately asked for the ball from the right flank outside the three-point line. After receiving the pass, he released the ball with his right hand, then suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.

Ginobili quickly slid to the left to block the breakthrough route. In the next second, he saw Li Ze crossing the dribble and pulling back. He adjusted the defensive focus again, only to find that Li Ze had completed the change of direction under the crotch.

After two simple shakes, Li Ze accelerated with the ball in his right hand, easily caught half of his body, broke through to the right block position, and quickly turned around. Duncan, who returned to the basket, found that his teammates had completely lost their position. After being able to fill the position, he can jump up and block the block.

"squeak!"

Duncan didn't want to give Li Ze a chance to take a penalty, so he hit the arm directly and completely destroyed the ball. Coach Popovich saw that Li Ze made the free throw and immediately asked for a timeout. The old man didn't give up and continued to adjust the lineup.

In the final stage, the Spurs replaced Diaw and took Stephen Jackson, but the results had little effect. The Spurs fans in the AT Center Arena have completely run out of power, and the point difference has not narrowed at all.
With 3 minutes and 31 seconds left in the game, the Spurs fans at the scene saw Li Ze receive a pass from the turtle in the right corner, force a shot at the buzzer and hit a three-pointer, and completely broke the defense.

Cursing and booing sounded at the same time, and the arena was filled with noisy voices. Everyone knew that the series might be coming to an end.

The Spurs still did not make substitutions, and they were still fouling when they were transitioning. They were extremely tenacious, but such struggles were in vain. Fouls on Li Ze basically sent points.

With the last 42 seconds left in the game, the head coach Popovich finally chose to replace the main force. The old man was so angry that the Spurs' offense in the fourth quarter pulled their hips again.

"It's crazy, Kayce! We're going to the Finals again!"

Li Ze had just returned to the bench, and the big brother Collison in the locker room couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. The score was 3:1, and the team had a high probability of entering the finals.

"Winning a division title at home and being able to celebrate with the fans is a great feeling!"

Thinking of the enthusiastic Oklahoma City fans, Guigui also smiled. Last year, the away game won the division championship, and the atmosphere was not enthusiastic enough. This year may be able to make up for this regret.

"Strive to win at home the day after tomorrow, so that before the finals, we have more than 7 days of rest."

Li Ze is also in a good mood. He doesn't want to drag the game back to San Antonio. Ending the series early will also help his teammates adjust their physical condition.

On the Thunder's bench, everyone was chatting with ease, while the Spurs were silent. Although the team has reached the Western Conference Finals, the team has been very successful, but the veterans are more eager for the championship.
The game time ran out, and finally, at 122:100, the Thunder successfully reversed the game by virtue of their defensive adjustments in the second half, beating the Spurs by a big score, and the series came to 3:1.

Everyone in the Spurs team was not in the mood to greet each other. This game can be regarded as ups and downs. After the players from both sides shook hands briefly, they immediately walked to the player tunnel.

On the TNT commentary seat at the scene, feeling the noisy sound in the arena, Reggie Miller was in a good mood, reconfirmed the technical statistics in his hand, and then started directly:
“我会给Kayce这场比赛的表现打上满分，21中12，其中三分球9中5，罚球11中11，40分7篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽2失误，这样的表现太疯狂了！”

Steve Kerr was speechless when he saw the Spurs' data, the gap was too obvious:
"When a team has two scoring leaders, they become unstoppable. Durant made 19 of 10, 8 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, and scored 31 points efficiently. Such a configuration is too luxurious."

"Westbrook also scored 22 points and sent 8 assists. Although there were three turnovers, this performance was also impeccable. The trio scored 93 points. Considering their age, maybe they will continue to dominate the league. outside."

"."

For Li Ze, scoring 40 points in a single game in the playoffs is considered a routine operation. Compared with last year's Western Conference finals, the Thunder did not encounter too many difficulties this year.

However, the media reporters of America still praised Li Ze's performance, and some ball critics even taunted this year's best defensive team.

The performances of Wade and Li Ze were not selected for the defensive team. The media who voted did not understand football!

But the media also had reasons for the selection. The best team was considered for the regular season. Li Ze and Wade did not contribute at all in the regular season. They won the steals king, and everyone must vote for them
The situation in the Western Conference Finals has been completely clear, and the Thunder have a high probability of entering the Finals. Under such circumstances, many people are expecting the Heat to beat the Celtics.

On June 6, G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the two sides drew again in regular time. In the end, the Celtics relied on suffocating defense and won the game with difficulty 4:2 and 4:91 in overtime.

After the veteran Big Three returned to the North Shore Garden Arena, they directly tied the big score to 2:2. After winning two games in a row, the momentum of the Tianwangshan battle seemed to return to the Celtics.

On the night of the 4th, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City fans cheered continuously from the start of the game. In Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, Li Ze led the defense against Tony Parker after the opening.

In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs' offense was cut off again, scoring only 2 points in a single quarter, while the Thunder still played normally, scoring 17 points easily. At 29:43 in the half, the Thunder took a 55-point lead.

In the following game, the Spurs completely collapsed. Durant felt hot that night, and neither Kawhi Leonard nor Stephen Jackson could limit his performance.

Coach Popovich saw Li Ze and Durant play flank singles from time to time. Westbrook seemed to be tireless, rushing to the forefront every time he switched offenses. Such a scene made the old man feel helpless.

Back then, when Duncan was at his peak, Popovich also felt the joy of having a superstar, but no one can beat time, and the Spurs are indeed old.

With 4 minutes and 5 seconds left in the 02th quarter, the Spurs switched to the atmosphere group and completely retreated. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were overjoyed. They will witness the team win the division championship at home tonight. Earn blood!
Tony Parker sat on the bench and was completely autistic, 15 of 5, 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Although there were no turnovers, under the defense of Li Ze, the offense tonight was stretched again, and the dream of the top card was shattered. .

Tim Duncan remained expressionless. The veteran just wiped his sweat with a towel after he left the game. No one knew what was going on in his mind. On the contrary, Ginobili looked very disappointed. Ze was blown away.
On the Thunder bench, Durant was in a good mood. He made 20 of 13 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 36 points with super high efficiency. After more than two years, he finally played like Li Ze Hit rate!

"Tomorrow night, the Heat will not continue to lose. If the opponent in the finals becomes the Celtics, the league can consider awarding awards directly!"

Li Ze felt a little helpless when he saw that Durant seemed to be going to the sky again, but for the Eastern Conference Finals, his future memory told him that LeBron James would explode.

"The Celtics played another overtime. The longer the series, the more unfavorable it is to the veterans. I still think the Heat can enter the finals."

Guigui also agrees with Li Ze's point of view, but he cares more about the rest time:
"8 days of rest is enough for us to adjust our bodies to the best condition."

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene have already begun to celebrate the division championship. The remaining 4 minutes quickly passed. The Thunder team easily defeated the Spurs at 99:109. finals!
The buzzing sound from the midfield sounded, and the happy Oklahoma City fans yelled, one year in the Western Conference Finals, two years in the Finals, such results are too dreamy for a small ball market.

After the game, everyone on the Spurs sent blessings. For these veterans, it is not easy to reach the Western Conference finals in a shortened season. Popovich shook hands with coach Brooks with a smile on his face:
"Congratulations! Leading such a young team to the finals for two consecutive years, the future belongs to you!"

The Thunder's coaching staff was also celebrating wildly. Everyone hugged everyone and returned to the locker room. The players put on division champion T-shirts and hats, and then returned to the arena again.

The podium was quickly set up. The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw the golden spherical trophy in the center of the field, and they all stood up and cheered. The commentator Kevin Harlan directly became the host of the award ceremony:

“恭喜雷霆队获得了2011~2012赛季西部联盟的冠军！在这样艰难的赛程中，常规赛56胜10负，季后赛12胜1负，这真是不可思议的战绩！”

Hearing the team's achievements, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene cheered again. The host Kevin Harlan smiled, waited for the sound in the arena to end, and said again:
"Kayce is 21 years old and has already won two MVPs and one FMVP. I can't imagine his future"

Before Kevin Harlan finished speaking, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to cheer for Li Ze loudly:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Li Ze straightened his hat, waved to the fans with a smile on his face, and then the cheers grew louder. The tortoises around the trophy were the first to applaud. Although Durant was possessed by lemon essence, he also applaud immediately
The applause and cheers lasted for a while, and when the sound wave gradually subsided, the host Kevin Harlan smiled and continued:

"Kevin Durant is 23 years old and Russell Westbrook is 23 years old. I believe the future must belong to the Thunder. Congratulations to Oklahoma City again! Reaching the finals for two consecutive years is really an amazing achievement! "

When Li Ze was the first to lift the division championship trophy, the scene burst into loud cheers again. Everyone in the Thunder team was beaming with joy. Everyone took turns to toast, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated.

Unlike last year, team owner Bennett did not attend the division championship award ceremony.

In the final group photo, everyone from the Thunder stood in a circle around the trophy. In the center were Li Ze and Coach Brooks. Durant and Turtle stood on both sides. Everyone in the photo was Laugh happily.

As for the future, no one thinks about it.

On June 6th, since the Thunder team has successfully entered the finals, America's football critics all set their sights on the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference finals tonight.

The G5 game was held at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. The Heat had the home court advantage, so everyone was unanimously optimistic that the Heat would win the game and eventually eliminated the Celtics 4:2.

In TNT's Inside the NBA program, except for the host Ernie Johnson who is still optimistic about the Celtics, the Big Three have all fallen to the Heat, and several people have begun to imagine the Heat's opponents after entering the finals. bit situation up:

"Kayce averaged 30.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 turnovers per game in this year's playoffs. He shot 58.2 percent from the field, 59.5 percent from three-point range, and 92.7 percent from the free throw line. I don't think there is anyone in the Heat. Can restrain him!"

Kenny Smith just presented the data to make sense, and directly left Charles Barkley and O'Neill on the other side speechless, just expressing his point of view, but it would be unreasonable to use Excel!

The host Ernie Johnson saw that neither of them spoke, and continued to introduce Li Ze's statistics:
"Average 17.94 shots per game, including 5.9 three-pointers and 3.3 hits. It seems that our young MVP is not obsessed with the regular season style of play. Of course, maybe Kayce heard our suggestion!"

"."

"LeBron's performance is also very good. I believe he will give a response this year. I know him. Last year's failure must have inspired him. The Heat will complete their revenge!"

Seeing that Charles Barkley didn't speak, O'Neill had to give his opinion dryly alone. Seeing that all three were looking at him, Charles Barkley had no choice but to say:
"The Heat have an advantage inside, and the configuration is more balanced. After a season of running-in, the Big Three cooperate better. In terms of matchup, both sides have their own advantages."

Kenny Smith saw that the two were speechless, and he smiled in his heart, and then changed the topic to tonight's game:

"It's rare that we can unify our views. We can predict the performance of the core players of both sides!"

"I am optimistic about the Celtics. Never underestimate the heart of a championship. Veterans will not give up easily."

In the game that night, the Heat, which suffered from crazy poisonous milk, was finally turned over by milk. At 94:90, the Celtics successfully won the match point with their excellent defense.

After the game, the journalists of Amerika had a complete New Year's Eve. LeBron James actually lost the battle of Tianwangshan. The next game will return to the North Shore Garden Arena. The Heat will be eliminated soon.

Two young players at the MVP level teamed up and were beaten by the old Big Three. Brothers basketball is nothing more than that!

Before G6 in the Eastern Conference finals, the local media in Boston mocked LeBron James frantically. The whole city seemed to be preparing to celebrate tonight's victory.

In this desperate situation, LeBron James played the hardest game of his career so far, 26 of 19, including 4 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 5 free throws, 73% shooting rate, 45 points and 15 shots. Rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers.

The game also contributed the famous scene of the pupil of death. Such a performance not only completely blown up Paul Pierce, but also broke the defense of the Celtics fans at the scene.
At 98:79, LeBron James led the Heat back to a victory, and the two sides will have a tiebreaker!
LeBron James' performance in this game was impeccable. After the game, the media reporters in Amerika were all blown up, heroes, superheroes!Saving the team by one's own efforts, this kind of drama is simply the fans' favorite!
Everyone in the Thunder team went to the party organized by the turtle that night. After watching the game, they also looked at each other in blank dismay. Durant couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he thought that he would have to face off against James again in the finals. The tank broke through. I can't help it
"It's incredible. I thought only Kayce could shoot more than 7% of his shots. I didn't expect LeBron James' shooting ability to become so good."

Seeing the state of LeBron James, Turtle is also a little worried about whether the opponent can be restricted in this year's finals. If this projection state is maintained, the 23-zone defense does not seem to be very effective.

"James's outside shooting cannot always maintain such a high shooting percentage, but this game was indeed played beautifully. The old guys were all blown up. Coach Rivers may be reversed again."

Durant would not recognize James' skills, and firmly believed that the opponent had just eaten dumplings. The atmosphere group also believed that James' projection would not always be efficient, and everyone chattered non-stop.

And when Li Ze thought of James' style of play, he couldn't help but envy the opponent's body:

"A breakthrough by a bulldozer is still not as good as a breakthrough by a tank."

On June 6th, the 9th game of the Eastern Conference finals attracted the attention of all fans. In the game that night, the Celtics led by 7 points at halftime, but they were tied in the third quarter.

In the last quarter of the game, LeBron James stepped forward again, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, and led the Heat to play a suffocating defense, only allowing the Celtics to score 15 points.

88:101, the Heat finally had the last laugh, won the tiebreaker, eliminated the Celtics 4:3, and successfully entered the finals!
The media reporters of America completely turned into fools, and seemed to have forgotten the previous mockery of LeBron James. After the tiebreaker, they immediately sang praises.

With a record of 56 wins and 10 losses, the Thunder once again gained home court advantage, but for the Thunder in the 2-3-2 format, the first two home games are extremely important.

The coaching staff organized the team's recovery training early, and in recent days, there have been fixed video lessons every day. The assistant coaches repeatedly analyzed the Heat's tactical routines to facilitate players to understand the Heat's offense.

On June 6th, G12 of the finals will officially start at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The NBA has already publicized the duel between the young Big Three, defending the title or revenge. hot.

Although this year's Finals is a few days later than in previous years, the heat of the game is going to skyrocket. After all, most Amerika fans are unhappy in life, and naturally want to see LeBron James fail again.
The Heat arrived in Oklahoma City one day earlier. These two days were closed training sessions. The coaching staff did not want their players to be disturbed too much.

On the night of the 12th, in the locker room of the visiting team, seeing the eagerness in the players' eyes, Coach Spoel nodded with satisfaction. This season, the Big Three have made sacrifices for each other, and through the tempering of the playoffs, the team The condition is getting better and better.

"Very good, I believe that everyone has not forgotten the finals last year, 1:4, we lost to each other cleanly, recalling the pain, we will play with this feeling tonight."

"Fight for every round, try to protect the rebounds, if the opponent plays a high pick-and-roll, switch up in time, don't give the opponent a chance to pick and roll jumpers, trust each other, and be patient on the offensive end. Our goal is to get a victory in the away game. "

After the head coach Spoelstra sent a pile of chicken soup, LeBron James was the first to respond. The Heat are already his horse. As the leader of the team, of course he must lead by example.

Chris Bosh was particularly depressed. After returning from injury, he lost his starting position, and his statistics this season have shrunk severely. However, for the sake of the championship, Bosh is willing to sacrifice, screaming with Wade.
The atmosphere in the Thunder's locker room is relatively joyful. They double-killed the Heat in the regular season and only lost one game in the playoffs so far. This is the team's confidence.

In addition, there are two scoring champions in the team. The role players only need to do their defensive work with peace of mind. The task is simple and clear. Coach Brooks just gave a simple psychological massage.

After the Thunder team completed the appearance ceremony, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated. LeBron James looked at the championship flag flying above the arena, and his heart was extremely longing.

He can't even imagine how outside public opinion will talk about his decision if he loses the finals again this year
ABC is the broadcaster of the finals, and the commentators on the scene are naturally from ESPN. The commentator Mike Breen felt the fiery atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and introduced the starting lineups of the two sides in a brisk tone:
"Chris Bosh, coming back from injury, was not in the starting lineup tonight."

"Heat tonight with Mario Chalmers and Dwyane Wade in the backcourt, LeBron James and Shane Battier up front and Udonis Haslem at center. "

"The Thunder still continued the starting lineup for the playoffs. Jeff, what do you think of the adjustment of Spoelstra's head coach?"

Guest commentator Jeff Van Gundy is still in a black formal suit tonight, smiling slightly at the camera, and then said solemnly:
"Obviously, this is an adjustment made for the Thunder's pick-and-roll offense. The Heat took the initiative to reduce the lineup and increase defensive mobility. I believe that when encountering a pick-and-roll screen, the Heat will switch defenses decisively. We can also look forward to this Look at the Thunder's offense."

The two were doing a simple pre-match analysis. At this time, the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and the Oklahoma City fans on the scene started screaming.

Tonight, everyone wore blue cheering T-shirts again. Seeing that the game was about to start, they immediately stood up and shouted loudly for the home team:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

With a serious expression, Li Ze briefly bumped fists with everyone on the Heat team, and then immediately returned to the half court, looking intently at Ibaka and Hastom standing in the center circle.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans, Ibaka successfully jumped to the offensive ball for the Thunder. After the turtle received the ball, he simply played a tricky dribble under the crotch, and then bounced across the half court. .

In the first offensive round, the Thunder still started with a pistol tactic. After half the time, Guigui immediately gave the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc. Outside the line on the left flank.

Ibaka stood near the bottom line on the right, and Durant exclusively occupied the entire left half. The simple pistol tactic did not present a good opportunity, and Li Ze received the ball from outside the three-point line and did not rush to attack.

When Perkins' screen stood at the top of the arc, Li Ze left the ball outside the three-point line, and Wade directly chose to stick to the defense.

Feeling the opponent's defensive oppression, Li Ze first turned his back to protect the ball, held the ball in his left hand and made a half-turn feint, then suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity and pretended to break through.

Just as Wade's defensive center of gravity shifted to the right, Li Ze suddenly changed direction with his crotch, forcing the opponent to change the defensive center of gravity again.

Seeing Wade eat and shake continuously, Li Ze, who had completed the change of direction at the crotch, turned around sharply with his right hand, and with the help of Perkins' cover, he completely got rid of the opponent's defensive entanglement.

Fancy moves, and then the Oklahoma City fans on the scene screamed, Haslem's scalp was numb, and there was a big delay in coming up at the first time, but after turning around, Li Ze pushed the ball with his left hand and changed direction, and at the same time, he quickly jumped to the front right .

While catching the ball with his right hand, Li Ze easily got rid of Haslem's big delay and broke through to the paint area.

Battier just wanted to make up the defense, but found that Li Ze had risen into the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, changed hands in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket with his left hand vigorously!

"Oh! Wonderful driving dunk, Kayce once again showed excellent ability to combine the ball, God, I didn't even see how he got rid of the defense!"

Jeff Van Gundy looked amazed. He expected that the Heat would delay switching defenses, but Li Ze's coping strategy seemed simple and rude.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to cheer loudly and kept shaking the white handkerchiefs in their hands. They witnessed a wonderful dunk in the first round, which made the fans very happy.

As soon as Wade saw Li Ze's smiling face, he felt a little annoyed in his heart, it's you again!
Coach Spoelstra was very dissatisfied with the team's defense, and loudly signaled to the players to be aggressive. The Heat sent the baseline ball, and Chalmers dribbled for half court. smoke.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Amid the defensive cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, Li Ze and Guigui stood at the two elbows of the free throw line, facing the Heat's conduction ball, and quickly delayed.

And Ibaka's defensive position is a bit awkward. Battier has been standing outside the three-point line, which makes Ibaka have to pay attention to the opponent's shots at all times in addition to protecting the frame.

Fortunately, in the first round, LeBron James seemed to want to show off his shooting.

The right wing outside the three-point line, after completing the pick-and-roll with Haslem, saw Durant exaggeratedly going off the line to defend, leaving a big step open, and immediately made a two-point emergency stop jump shot!

"Bang!" Angrily hit an iron.

The Heat's basket was empty, and Perkins easily protected the rebound. After receiving the ball, Turtle saw that the Heat had already retreated, and immediately made an offensive gesture, signaling to play the same tactic again.

Wade saw that the turtle gave the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc again after halftime, and immediately paid 12 points of attention, staring at Li Ze's movements, and at the same time paying attention to the position of the Thunder's screener.

At the moment when the defense was slightly distracted, Li Ze suddenly started, the center of gravity of his body lowered, and he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand. Ibaka's screen was fake. Halfway through the above mentioned, he suddenly turned a corner and ran straight Arrived at the right block position.
James, who has been guarding Durant on the left flank, saw Wade's defense easily broken through, and subconsciously delayed the defense. Li Ze saw the opponent's movement, and quickly released the ball on the move, and the ball fell accurately into Durant's hands.

After receiving the ball, Durant didn't make any adjustments, ignoring LeBron James who came up again, left wing, and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

After scoring the goal, Durant was very proud, shook his head at James, bouncing back to the half court, finished high-fiving with Li Ze, and then started clapping again to give his defense strength.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw Durant's actions and immediately yelled happily. LeBron James immediately signaled his teammates to stabilize. He had already noticed Ibaka's defensive position.

The Heat's offense also received the ball from the right flank. With the help of Haslem's pick-and-roll, LeBron James ignored Durant, who went off the line to defend, and directly tanked and broke through.

Seeing that Durant was directly crushed into the paint, Ibaka immediately recalled the help defense and successfully read the Thunder's defense. James immediately gave the ball to Battier in the left corner.

The latter received the pass, adjusted slightly, and then made an open three-point jumper!

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

"The Heat's offensive space is very large. Coach Spoelstra made full use of LeBron James' breakthrough ability. The Thunder need to pay attention to the Heat's three-pointers."

Jeff Van Gundy successfully predicted the Heat's offensive strategy.In the first half of the first quarter, neither side seemed to be able to limit the opponent's offense.

The Heat's role players were in top form. After receiving James' breakthrough points, they hit three-pointers consecutively from the outside. On the Thunder's side, Li Ze and Durant played two-on-two partly and also hit consecutively.

The pace of the game was fast, and when the official paused, the Oklahoma City fans at the scene let out a sigh of relief. Chalmers and Battier had never missed a shot so far, and they scored three-pointers.
At 17:16, the role players of the Heat showed an excellent offensive state!
During the timeout, Coach Brooks was a little tangled. After Durant started the game, he was stunned on the defensive end. Fortunately, the offensive end responded, which made him a little tangled in whether he should adjust his defensive strategy.

Li Ze sat in his seat and briefly replenished his water. Seeing that Coach Brooks seemed a little worried about the team's defense, he immediately said confidently:

"Boss, don't worry! In the first half, we will always respond on the offensive end. If the Heat still feel hot outside in the second half, it will not be too late for us to adjust."

"I can take turns defending James with Kevin, which can also save Kevin's energy!"

After Durant started the game, he felt hot. He wished that Li Ze would switch defenses quickly so that he could focus on attacking. After hearing what Li Ze said, he quickly agreed:
"That's right! We can observe the opponent's offensive state first. I feel that my state is very good tonight, so I don't have to worry about attacking."

The coaching staff also nodded in agreement. Seeing that Durant seemed to be thinking about the FMVP, Li Ze couldn't help but smile in his heart:
"Offensive alone is not enough, defensive performance is also very important, Xiao Du is still too young."
