The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 472 A Cat and a Dog (6700 word chapter)
On July 7, America's sports media smelled gossip again, and the farce between Leonard and the Spurs seemed to be coming to an end.

Perhaps it is because they are used to the mutual sacrifice of the GDP combination, or it may be that the Spurs have not been able to make it out of the West for so many years. On the issue of Leonard's contract, the management seems extremely stingy.

After activating the veteran clause, Leonard will naturally be able to sign a super-maximum salary. Unfortunately, due to a crisis of trust between the two parties due to injury management issues, they have never been able to reach an agreement.

Leonard's uncle firmly stated that Los Angeles is the place they yearned for. Popovich was also a little upset at this time. The old man didn't like this practice of appointing the next home.

Coupled with Li Ze leaving the NBA, Leonard's intentions are obvious, this kid just wants to move in with his bags!
The management of the Spurs will naturally not let the players get what they want, otherwise they will not have to be in the league in the future. The management is being manipulated by the players?Do you really think they are soft persimmons?

On the morning of the 18th, the Spurs trade shocked many fans.

The Spurs traded Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and some cash to the Raptors for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first-round pick.

When the Leonard team announced that after their contract ended, they would still choose to return to Los Angeles to play, most teams in the league chose to wait and see.

At this time, the Raptors went uncharacteristically and sent out their star players. This deal can be regarded as the future of Stud!

In any case, Lund will be playing in the Raptors in the new season. Considering that he is still back from injury, many people have said that the Raptors have lost a lot in this deal.

The Spurs management is extremely tough in this deal, yearning for Los Angeles?Hehe, in the end, they were directly dispatched abroad.
Shortly after the deal ended, the Hornets announced the signing of free agent Tony Parker, which also means that the Spurs have completely entered the reconstruction period.

After tossing around, it seems that only the Clippers, Warriors, and Rockets are left in the Western Conference, and the Eastern Conference, Celtics, 76ers, and Bucks are also beginning to emerge.

Even though most sports media are not optimistic about the Raptors, the addition of Leonard has allowed them to barely enter the championship ranks.

Fans are also interested at this time. A new championship team may be born in the new season. After Li Ze ended his rule, the suspense seems to be back.

At the end of July, Li Ze has been in Miami. Every year during the offseason, he and his blonde sister come back here to enjoy the world of two.

For Shakira, the world is not as big as her baby son. In the past two years, in order to accompany her child's growth, she has spent most of her time at home with her baby.

However, unlike other children, Tate has little dependence on her, is much stronger than children of the same age, and is not noisy most of the time.

This has made Shakira a little nervous in the past year, always feeling that something is wrong with her precious son.
The years did not leave too many traces, it just made the blond sister more concerned about gains and losses. Even if she was living a two-person world, she was still worried about the situation at home.

This seaside villa in Miami has been refurbished and adjusted in the past two years, and has become more luxurious. Li Ze's favorite smart home has barely been realized.

While putting on sunscreen for Li Zetu, the blond sister complained in distress:

"Tate is less and less dependent on me. Shouldn't children of this age be inseparable from their parents? I was not like this when I was a child!"

Li Ze enjoyed the blond sister's kneading, and was so comfortable that he didn't make a sound. Finally, he was pinched, and then he replied helplessly:

"Genius is always different. Tate laughs happily every time he sees me, and he can say some simple phrases. Isn't that a good thing?"

When the two communicate, most of the time they can speak Spanish. Of course, they can also speak English and Chinese. The little guy is very adaptable to this, but the blond sister feels that the child develops too fast.

Still worrying that her baby son is becoming less and less dependent on her, the blond sister was inattentive, her body was cold, and then she stuck to Li Ze's body, enjoying such zero-distance kneading with peace of mind.

"Don't you want to work yet? Streaming media will definitely explode in the future, and TikTok will become popular all over the world. This is another new channel."

Li Ze patiently comforted the blond sister in his arms. The two are not married, so there is not much financial connection. Shakira naturally lost a lot of dollars by bringing the baby at home.

It's just that the blond sister has a lot of income even if she is living on her laurels, but no one will dislike too much money. Making money is still very important.

At the end of last year, TikTok only landed on America. Li Ze was the first celebrity invited by the platform. He naturally also contributed to the promotion of the software. Currently, the number of fans is still skyrocketing!
The blonde sister who doesn't pay much attention to new things is also a little curious when she hears Li Ze's words. She still prefers to use Facebook and INS before.

Taking Li Ze's mobile phone casually, Shakira clicked on the software, browsed Li Ze's personal homepage, then straightened her upper body, and said with a half-smile:

"Since when have you been interested in black girls?"

The corner of Li Ze's mouth twitched. A short video that went viral recently showed him and Clay playing water surfing, and Laura was in a daze that day, so the video seemed a little intimate.

There is no need for Li Ze to explain too much, the blond sister went to the pool and hooked her hands, this matter has to be paid for again
In the era of streaming media, traffic is a beauty, and Li Ze has long been prepared for this.

His personal channel YouTube is full of long videos, which are used to promote singles, while the emerging TikTok is to share some life clips to narrow the distance with fans.

Of course, for Li Ze, the biggest role of the streaming media channel is to cut leeks and buy the Barclays Center later. The more funds the better.

When the time comes to August, Li Ze has been looking forward to being in New York recently. He did not participate in the operation of the Nets, but actively participated in several New York City Hall gatherings.

At the end of last year, the Donkey Party defeated the Elephant Party with an absolute advantage, and finally succeeded in re-election, becoming the first Donkey Party member in New York to be re-elected in more than 30 years.

If a team wants to develop, it is naturally inseparable from the support of the local city hall. Just like the Clippers have deeply cultivated Inglewood, the Nets must also reshape the relationship between the two parties.

The reason why Mao Xiongkaizi Prokhorov can't play with the Nets is also related to the external environment.

In this case, there is no need to worry about the team's staffing picks. The first thing to do is to build a good relationship with these vampires.

Fortunately, Li Ze's eyes were not dimmed. Alexandra's father's relationship network was still there, and the knife opened the way. After half a month of mixing, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus.

The media in New York like Li Ze very much, which is the result of Big Machine Records' intensive cultivation here for nearly 10 years.

Back to Alexandra's small apartment after a full stomach of wine, Britney and Miss Dabo frowned.

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders helplessly. With his physique, he can't get drunk, but he got drunk at the party.

"Boring entertainment! There are no good people in the donkey party, and these guys have been dancing very much recently!"

With her hair up and cool dress, Britney has a lot of opinions on the environment in New York. Cheap Daddy has been criticized frequently, and the two sides are currently in a state of confrontation.
Alexandra didn't care about these details, and her father was also a representative of repeated jumps. Both of them were born in New York, but their growth environments were completely different.

After helping Li Ze take off his coat and pressing his head on the sofa, Alexandra asked curiously:

"Then we don't seem to need the support of the city hall at the moment. In my impression, the Nets have been in a state of loss since they moved to New York."

"Perhaps, some star players should be recruited?"

Britney, who was also born and bred in New York, also gave a low laugh:
"Rich people don't go to Brooklyn to watch Nets games. In New York, Madison Square Garden is irreplaceable. Let Taylor, that silly girl, hold more concerts! This is the most profitable! "

The two girls from New York naturally don't like the Nets. Even if they don't watch the NBA often, they know that the Nets suck.

Li Ze doesn't care about this, he doesn't care about the performance and market of the Nets in the past two years:
"Believe me, the market value of NBA teams will slowly rise, and this deal will eventually pay off."

"Tonight is not the time to discuss these things, it's almost midnight!"

Li Ze got up and walked to the bathroom with Dabo Yujie in his arms, then hooked Britney again.

The man-making movement cannot stop. Since he has a lot of time, Li Ze decided to win by numbers. As long as he works hard, there will be gains!
On September 9th, Amelia's major media posted posters on Twitter to congratulate Li Ze on his happy birthday:
Fadeaway world: Happy 28th birthday to Kayce, GOAT!
NBA on ESPN: GOAT turns 28 today!Happy birthday!
Bleacher Report:

“8次总冠军、总决赛8次全胜、8次FMVP、6次MVP、9次全明星、ROY、2次DPOY、9次最佳阵容、6次最佳防阵、8次得分王！”

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOAT!"

"."

Although Li Ze's career is not long, his achievements are unparalleled.

Li Ze also posted his birthday present on social media.

In the photo, both Li Ze and Annie are holding a little golden retriever, looking very warm:

"Roy, new family member! #Duttonkids (sun.jpg)"

Fans who follow Li Ze often see photos of Li Ze posting dogs on social media in the past week.

In addition to dogs, Taylor's two fat cats often appear on the scene. After having more time, Li Ze also lived a life of both cats and dogs
In addition to blessing Li Ze, the NBA has recently begun to warm up for the opening game in mid-October.

There are two games on the night of the 16th, Celtics vs 76ers and Lakers vs Clippers.

After LeBron James came to the Lakers, the traffic surged, and many sports media blew James into the league's No.1.

Reaching the finals 9 times, no one can achieve such an achievement. As for losing, that is not important, competitive sports also need a process.
Originally, Durant hoped to become the next Li Ze, but the Airborne Warriors lost two years in the Western Conference Finals, which made his popularity plummet.

Fans can accept that superteams win, but as long as they lose, they are doomed to backlash.
Of course, the situation has changed in the new season, and Amelica's sports media began to praise Durant again. After all, he won two championships. Compared with James, who has nothing, fans are more willing to call Durant No. 1 in the league.

On the evening of the 16th, Li Ze returned to the Intuit Dome. President Adam Silva also came to the scene to present championship rings to the Clippers.

Coach De Nagro also came to the scene, and as the two made their finale appearance, cheers like a tsunami sounded in the arena.

As the sixth championship ring of the Clippers, this year's ring has a flip design, and the whole body is mainly gold. The raised pattern on the surface is the team logo of the Clippers.

On one side of the ring are six championship trophies, and on the other side are the names of No. 6 and Li Ze. After the top is lifted, there are names of all the Clippers inside.

Six consecutive championships is quite memorable, and Steve Ballmer did not spend less money.

When Li Ze put the ring on his right hand, the Clippers fans shouted excitedly:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Wearing a dark blue formal suit, Li Ze kept waving to the fans with a smile on his face.

When the sixth championship banner was raised over the arena, Li Ze, who looked up at the arena, also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

In the player channel of the visiting team, LeBron James, wearing a Lakers jersey, felt uncomfortable. These champions all passed him by
The freshmen of the Lakers saw James pulling his face, but they didn't make a sound for a while. It was difficult for them to understand the feeling of losing 9 times.

Before the start of the game, Li Ze, Steve Ballmer, President Adam Silva, and De Nagro all sat in the front row under the basketball stand.

The on-site director frequently turned the camera to this side, but on the Lakers bench, Luke Walton was a little uncomfortable. After James joined the team, he felt that he was not far from get out of class.
In contrast, Vogel was seamless after coming to the Clippers, Paul George unconditionally supported, and Jokic was willing to obey the arrangement.

The team's tactics have not changed much. Vogel just adjusted some defensive details. Without Li Ze, the Clippers need to cherish the ball more.

During the offseason, the Lakers added Rajon Rondo, Carterwell-Pope, Jamal McGee, Lance Stephenson, and Michael Beasley.

The height of the Lakers' starting lineup tonight is also comparable to that of the Clippers. Rondo and Pope partner in the backcourt, Ingram and James are on the front line, and McGee is the center.

For the Clippers, Bro Gordon and Jaylen Brown partnered in the backcourt, Paul George and Harris on the front line, and Jokic as the center.

After the game started, the Clippers almost rubbed against the Lakers, except for the decline in efficiency.

The Lakers hit the iron on the three-point line and received the rebound. Jokic quickly advanced with the ball in several rounds, constantly accelerating the offensive rhythm, and beat the Lakers in less than half a quarter
The opening game was naturally broadcast live across the United States. Taking advantage of the official suspension, Reggie Miller joked on the sidelines in the TNT commentary:

"Without Kayce, the Clippers' offensive confidence is declining. This is a good thing for other teams in the league. They finally shortened the gap with the Clippers."

"Coach Vogel has continued the Clippers' tactics, and Jokic has become more active on the defensive end. I believe the Clippers' record will still enter the upper half this season."

The commentator Kevin Harlan noticed that LeBron James on the Lakers bench didn't seem to be listening to Luke Walton's arrangements, and immediately joked:
"It seems that the Lakers still have a lot of work to do. If they want to make the playoffs this year, the lineup may need to be further adjusted before and after the All-Star."

Steve Ballmer, who was under the basketball rack, was very happy. He was also relieved to see that the team's strength was not diminished.

"Don't worry! Everyone knows how to win. The Clippers still have a chance to win the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference this season."

Li Ze comforted the old man. He understood what the other party was worried about, but the Clippers had completed their transformation. As long as they stay healthy, the future is still promising.

Steve Ballmer shook his body happily, and then asked in a low voice:

"Kayce, do you need some support from us?"

Li Ze smiled, then responded indifferently:

"Xiao En is a nice person. Professional things should be done by professional people."

Steve Ballmer patted Li Ze, many teams have human relations, the Nets are in New York, playing in big cities is also a good choice for players.

The Clippers will naturally give priority to players' opinions, but within the scope permitted by the rules, some transactions can also occur.

As the game progressed, LeBron James was in a bad mood.

Hitting the iron outside the three-point line made the Clippers' defense smaller and smaller. In addition, McGee is not a space-based insider, which makes the inside line very crowded.

After a high pick-and-roll, McGee went down and James rushed to the frame. Both sides piled up on the basket at once. As a result, James picked the basket with his left hand and knocked out of the frame.

Protecting the rebound, Jokic threw the ball to the frontcourt. Paul George, who was catching the ball with his left hand, continued to accelerate, and came to the paint area and carried Ingram to the basket.

"squeak"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, and Paul George stepped to the free throw line.

The timeout didn't seem to have any effect. LeBron James became more and more depressed. Compared with the Cavaliers, the Lakers became a refusal to shoot.
Some Lakers fans who came to watch the game were also dumbfounded. The two sides were not playing the same basketball. Seeing that the point difference was gradually widening, they lost their emotions for a while.

Even if Paul George suddenly became super ghost in the second quarter, the Lakers failed to seize the opportunity.

At the end of the half, the score came to 50:59, and the Clippers took a 9-point lead.

President Adam Silva frowned slightly watching such a game. The Lakers were not as strong as he expected.

Originally, it was planned to shape the drama of rivalry in the same city in the new season, but it seems that this plan is difficult to realize at present.
If Li Ze is there, the Clippers will lead by at least 15+ at this time, and they will play hard in the third quarter, and there is a high probability that they will clock in in three quarters.

In the second half of the game, the Clippers were still unable to widen the point difference, which made the two sides fight until the fourth quarter to completely decide the winner.

In the end, 103:118, the Clippers won the opening game, which is a good start for the new season.

After the game, everyone in the Clippers smiled and expressed their miss for Li Ze in interviews.

Jokic also didn't save face for LeBron James, saying bluntly:
"If Kayce was there, maybe we wouldn't have to play after the third quarter."

"Maybe we have to adapt to this game rhythm in the new season. As for the Lakers, I can only wish them good luck."

When he came to the Lakers, he ushered in his first loss. LeBron James walked to the player channel immediately after the game.

He was very dissatisfied with the team's staffing, and he didn't like Luke Walton's coaching philosophy.

For James, joining the Lakers is of course taking into account family factors, but it is more about expecting young people to realize their talents.

After the start of the new season, America fans can still occasionally see Li Ze.

In addition, the fans also found that the girl who accompanied Li Ze was different every time.

In Houston, Candice is usually by Li Ze’s side, and in New York, it’s most likely Alexandra. In addition to these familiar faces, sometimes some Sports Illustrated models can be seen beside Li Ze.

The most interesting scene happened in early November, when the Nets challenged the Hornets away, Li Ze and Michael Jordan sat in the front row of the audience.

Before the game, the two were still talking and laughing, but as time went by, there were some incomprehensible expressions of pain on their faces.

This kind of scene actually often happened to Michael Jordan. The Hornets' performance was stretched, and the game was naturally not very good.

It is always difficult for talented players to understand why many players can't even grasp the opportunity to score easily. On this point, the two can really empathize.

Wearing a black leather jacket and constantly chewing gum, Michael Jordan no longer paid attention to the results of the game, and began to impart experience to Li Ze beside him:
"Being a boss is completely different from being a player. Play a few rounds of golf with me, beat me, and then I will tell you some secrets in the industry."

Li Ze felt that this braised egg was very addicted to gambling. After losing once, he always wanted to win it back.

It's just that Li Zeke is much stronger than the old man in controlling his physical abilities:

"Even if it's 10 more rounds, I will win in the end! I guarantee that the Nets will enter the playoffs this year."

Hearing Li Ze's words, and looking at the Nets team, which was a mess in offense, Michael Jordan laughed, this level is not as good as that of the Hornets!

The commentator at the scene saw that the two started to smile again for some unknown reason, and immediately said:

"The dialogue between GOATs should really have a microphone on both of them!"

"."

When the regular season progressed to mid-November, the records of the Clippers, Warriors, Bucks, and Rockets stood out.

Head coach Rivers has been in high spirits during this time, and he has regained the feeling of the champion coach of the year.

After coming to the Warriors, Rivers reformed the existing system, and Curry was forced to gain muscle.

After the start of the new season, the Warriors currently have a record of 11 wins and 2 losses, which can be regarded as meeting the expectations of the fans.

On the evening of the 12th, the Warriors adjusted the Clippers in an away game. This was the first time the two sides met this season.

The game was played very anxiously, and the two sides drew 106:106 in regular time. In overtime, Durant didn't receive the ball in two rounds, and he immediately seemed very dissatisfied.

When Rivers asked for a timeout, Durant, who walked to the bench, complained loudly to Green:
"You should have passed the ball to me earlier instead of passing it back and forth on the upper line!"

"Listen, if we want to win, we need to be quicker with the ball!"

Green is also a little upset. After Rivers came to the team, his role has changed a lot.

The most important thing is that the Warriors currently plan to renew Durant, which completely shatters Green's dream of a maximum salary.

He didn't want to leave the Warriors, and Durant's words completely made Green explode:
"According to the tactical requirements, obviously you didn't run out of the chance!"

"Why is the ball always given to you? After you joined the team, we still haven't achieved anything!"

"Fack! Whose problem is this? You should know it in your heart!"

Before Durant responded, Coach Rivers had rushed up, lay between the two, and immediately yelled:
"Hey! The game is not over yet, if there is a problem, go back to the locker room to solve it, OK? Dangerous! Tired of logging!"

The Clippers fans who were watching the fun at the scene followed suit with some regret. It was rare to see the opponents infighting. This situation was even more interesting than the main game.
Durant was completely bad in overtime, and the Warriors had no choice but to lose.

At 116:121, after a bitter overtime, the Clippers won the Warriors.

After the game, Durant was the first to leave. Green seemed to have forgotten his showmanship, and walked quickly to the player channel without paying attention.

After the game, Amika's sports media did not find any gossip, and Rivers had a pretty good grasp of the locker room.

But when it was close to zero, social media was suddenly ignited by Durant's show operation.

"Playing with some cats and dogs, KD can't win a championship!"

This tweet was deleted less than 2 minutes after it was posted on Durant’s tuba, but many sports media still took screenshots, and the fun fans laughed like crazy:
"Durant seems to have forgotten to switch the trumpet! This guy actually plays the trumpet to boast about himself!"

Li Ze, who was staying up all night cultivating immortals in New York, naturally also discovered the sudden topic on Twitter. Seeing Durant's coquettish operation, he also almost laughed out loud:
"Perhaps this will be the key to the disintegration of the Warriors, and the opportunity is coming soon!"
