The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 473 Goodbye, Dear Basketball (7000-word chapter)
In the 18-19 season, Lezi fans became the biggest winners.

At the beginning of the season, Amerika's sports media picked up Durant's trumpet, and then the Lakers lost all the way, and a bunch of people shouted when they arrived at the away game:

"James wants to trade you!"

The Rockets were in good shape after the start of the game, but with the injuries of Paul and others, Harden was forced to enter a state of letting go.

Of course, in the Western League, the cute new Doncic is very popular. Many fans think that this cute new has a shadow of Li Ze. Therefore, this European genius is also called:

"Bankrupt Rookie Li Ze"

In the Eastern Conference, the Bucks have risen completely. Under the coaching of Budenholzer, Giannis Antetokounmpo broke out this season, and his record surpassed all teams in the Eastern Conference.

Leonard, who was assigned to the frontier, also led the team to achieve results that satisfied the Raptors fans. At present, the championship seems to be beckoning to them.

In the trumpet incident, Durant opened the map gun, but black and red are also red. Before the All-Star Game, Adu’s popularity exploded. After several rounds of voting, he overtook James and became the Western Conference champion
The Warriors showed hip-pull in the Christmas game, but this did not affect Durant's popularity in the slightest. After the cat and dog incident, everyone wanted to see how the Warriors would deal with this matter.

Head coach Rivers has returned to the top. Even if he lost to the Trail Blazers before the All-Star Game, the Warriors' record is still firmly ranked No.1.

2019年2月14号晚上和开拓者队比赛中，杜兰特出场37分钟，27中17，三分线外14中6，罚球10中10，怒砍50分7篮板6助攻2盖帽4失误。

Despite the loss, Durant fans can also shout:
"Warriors lost, Reaper didn't lose!"

The loss before the All-Star Game made the Warriors' record catch up with the Clippers.

Both teams have a record of 44 wins and 14 losses. With the relationship between wins and losses, the Clippers are ranked No.1.

After all, basketball depends on strength to speak. Durant's recent statistics have exploded. No matter how the outside world evaluates, most sports media still sent praises after consecutive explosive performances.

The host city of this year's All-Star Game is Charlotte, and the game will be played at the Spectrum Center, home of the Hornets.

After Durant won the vote, he did not choose the Warriors teammates, so before the start of the All-Star Game, everyone wentssip again.

Li Ze was specially invited in TNT's program. As a former teammate, he won two consecutive championships with Durant. Everyone wants to hear Li Ze's point of view.

"Getting 50 points again, seriously, I want to know how Draymond Green feels at this time!"

"Obviously the failure of the Warriors cannot be attributed to Durant."

In the studio, Charles Barkley didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he directly shifted the topic to the two key figures.

O'Neill laughed at the side, and also followed suit:

"Durant may be right, but he should be like a man, go back to the locker room and say it openly!"

"The Warriors have indeed failed to show dominance over the years. When they won 73, they still did not break out of the West. That season was definitely the best time for them to win the championship."

The host Ernie Johnson ignored the two partners who were fighting the fire, and turned to Li Ze with a smile and asked:
"Kayce, who do you think will win the championship this year? You should be the person who knows the strength of each team in the league best. I believe many fans want to hear your opinion!"

Since spinach entered the NBA, there have been more and more dog bets. Ernie Johnson is right. Buy with Li Ze, and the saying that the villa depends on the sea is also very popular recently.

Li Ze, who is also wearing a gray formal suit, looks unchanged, but his hair has grown a lot, and he doesn't look like a basketball player anymore:
"I think what needs to be considered at the moment is the health issue. I noticed that Stephen has been injured after gaining weight this season. This is not good news for the Warriors."

"The same is true for the Clippers and Rockets. Injuries have caused their records to fluctuate."

"As for the championship, if you stay healthy, the Clippers have a chance to defend the title. This year Paul played at the MVP level."

"The situation of the Warriors is a bit complicated. I understand Kevin. If he wants to lead the team to win the championship, he needs to improve his performance. This refers not only to offense, but the most important thing is to deeply participate in the team's defense."

Kenny Smith looked a little weird when he heard what Li Ze said. After Rivers entered the Warriors, the defensive system did not improve but declined.
Draymond Green also needs data when he enters the contract year. People are not in harmony. Although the regular season record is good, but looking at the team's high-level data, we can find that the Warriors have not shown dominance.

"The Clippers have indeed completed a transformation. The certainty on the offensive end has declined, but the defensive end is still very stable."

"Kayce, don't you want to talk about the Eastern Conference? The Nets have performed well recently, and Russell has also successfully entered the All-Star. The boys seem to have found the secret to winning!"

When it comes to the situation of the Nets, Li Ze just smiled slightly. The team can be regarded as a turnaround this season:
"To reach the playoffs is to achieve the goal, sometimes we need to believe in the process!"

"In the Eastern Conference, I am more optimistic about the Raptors. I know Kawhi. You all underestimated him. As long as they control their physical condition, they have a chance to break out of the Eastern Conference this year!"

This answer was beyond the expectations of the four, and Charles Barkley immediately turned his head and asked:

"Why not the Bucks, Celtics, and 76ers? These three teams have good records and more star players."

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and gave his answer from the perspective of a player:

"In the playoffs, the most important thing is to respond to the ball. When the game enters a stalemate, the shortcomings of the players will be magnified."

"Giannis is a talent, but he still needs to work on his shooting, and Kyrie needs to improve his confrontation and defense.

"Ben Simmons has a lot of talent, but in the playoffs, being left open can cause a lot of trouble for the team."

"These shortcomings are very fatal in the playoffs. In contrast, Kawhi can bring the greatest help to the Raptors on both ends of the offense and defense. At critical times, giving him the ball can solve the problem."

"That's why I like the Raptors in the Eastern Conference. Kawhi can improve the team's ceiling."

"."

After the broadcast of this episode of TNT, the attention of the Raptors skyrocketed, but after the All-Star Game ended, Durant became the protagonist again.

In the Charlotte All-Star Game, Durant scored 31 points, led the team to a comeback victory, and successfully won the All-Star Game MVP!

Continuing to speak with basketball, Durant blocked the voice of the outside world. After the All-Star Game, he became more and more courageous.

As the regular season drew to a close, fans quickly discovered that Li Ze's predictions were terrifyingly accurate.

Despite Paul George's shoulder injury, the Clippers went on to post a 58-win record and regain the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference.

Coach Rivers has some regrets in his heart. If the Warriors had no injuries, their results would definitely be better than they are now!
The Warriors finally won 57 wins, the Rockets relied on a healthy bench lineup, and finally won 55 wins and ranked third, while the unlucky Trail Blazers scored 53 wins and ranked fourth.

Compared with last season, there is no change in the team rankings in the upper half. The old friends reunite, and the Blazers fans are already calling the police!
50胜的爵士队排在了第5名，49胜的雷霆队排在第6名，48胜的马刺队排在第7名，46胜的掘金队最终搭上季后赛的末班车。

As for the most popular Lakers this season, under the leadership of LeBron James, they only won 37 wins in the end, and went fishing early
Such a record also caused LeBron James' reputation to drop sharply. The most ridiculed words by fans are:
"It turns out that this is the real level of James. Without star players as teammates, he is diving for the top pick!"

In this year's playoffs, fans can't see Li Ze, and they can't see LeBron James anymore. A new era has arrived.

At the beginning of April, Li Ze had already returned to China. At the end of August this year, the Men's Basketball World Cup will be held as scheduled. After completing this competition, he will officially retire.

The World Cup is related to Olympic qualifications, and Tianchao fans are not worried about the appearance of the group. Everyone looks forward to winning a medal at home.

After returning to China, Li Ze was very low-key, spending most of his time in Shanghai and BJ, attending some Keds sponsorship activities with Rick.

After not playing for a year, the coaching staff of Tianchao men's basketball team was still worried about Li Ze's status, but after a simple communication in early May, the coaching staff was relieved and continued to struggle with other candidates.
As the host, they will naturally enjoy some benefits. For example, in terms of grouping, the opponents of the Chinese men's basketball team are not too strong.

In the end, they were divided into Group A with Poland, Côte d'Ivoire and Venezuela.

After the lottery ceremony attended by Kobe at the end of March, Comeys became active again. In the past two months, everyone was talking about how far the men's basketball team could go.

On the Zepu Forum, the playoffs are not as popular as the World Cup. As the host, since entering 2019, the World Cup has been widely mentioned.

In addition, Li Ze said that after the end of the World Cup, he will leave basketball, which will directly cause the price of tickets to skyrocket. The pre-sale has not yet started, and the tickets are almost gone.
"I don't know how Li Ze's status is, whether he can beat Lao Mei, we should have a chance in 8 vs 5!"

"Even if the state is only 7%, it is still at a super high level. In the last season, the shooting percentage in many games exceeded 80%. The god of basketball is not blown out."

"The current game is really ugly. I always feel that there are too many whistles, and the 1-point rain is too boring."

"I'm dark, Brother Deng! I won the championship this year!"

"It's hard to say. Our players' shooting level is stretched. The Arab League has been injured for the past two years. They can't play in the rotation with the Nets. We have to shoot the ball even if we play 8-5. Don't forget that our free throws are also average."

"Average 40+10+10 per game, as long as Li Ze plays this performance, most teams can't stand it!"

"10 assists is not easy to get. The personnel have not been determined yet, so it is probably a choice."

"If you were Li Nan, you wouldn't be able to choose. The strikers are all injured, leaving a bunch of defenders."

"."

At the end of May, the NBA's divisional finals were in full swing. To the amazement of Amica fans, Leonard showed his dominance in the playoffs just as Li Ze said.

After defeating the Magic in the first round, the Raptors faced the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

With the addition of Jimmy Butler, the hardness of the 76ers has increased sharply, but Leonard still relied on his super strength to make a buzzer-beater in the G7 game and take away his opponent!
Joel Embiid was kneeled by Marc Gasol in this round of the series, and the 76ers lost, but also inseparable from his super ghost performance
After crying about Embiid, in the Eastern Conference finals, after losing two games in a row, the Raptors returned home and once again relied on Leonard's super performance to pull two games in a row!

The teammates who had been pulled down in the first two rounds also recovered at this time. After Leonard faced Giannis Antetokounmpo, the game situation was completely reversed.

In the two away games, the Raptors team exploded together. In the end, the Raptors eliminated the Bucks with a big score of 4:2 and successfully entered the finals!
Many Amerika fans were dumbfounded. It was exactly what Li Ze said. The Bucks beat the Celtics in the first round, and Irving was completely lost in the muscle confrontation.

In the Eastern Conference finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who shot and stretched his hips, was taught by Leonard to be a man. In addition to switching offenses, it was difficult to score a response goal when he fell into a positional battle.

The game in the East decided the outcome, and the fans quickly focused on the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors struggled to defeat the Rockets. Durant injured his Achilles tendon. Finally, relying on Curry's explosion, they defeated their opponents with a big score of 4:2.

In the Western Conference Finals, with the Warriors leading 3:1, they were moved for 2 consecutive rounds, dragging the game into the tiebreaker.

In the G1 game, Paul George was reimbursed for the series due to a shoulder injury, and the Warriors did seize the opportunity. After winning an away game, they successfully protected the home court.

Perhaps Rivers' passive Buff was triggered, and Jokic and Harris began to explode.

Eric Gordon, Jaylen Brown, and Brogdon also performed well.

Siakam and Powell on the bench were relentless, Rooney robbed the Warriors inside, and veteran David West also stepped forward at critical moments.

The G7 game returned to the Intuit Dome Arena, and the Clippers showed the resilience of the defending champions!
Such a fierce game also made the Clippers fans more excited. In the tiebreaker, the Intuit Dome Arena erupted with shouts like a mountain and a tsunami after the game started.

Under adversity, Stephen Curry did not pull his hips, and Harris, who had exploded for a few games, suddenly hit the iron.
108:104, with the head coach Rivers slamming the main force, the Warriors won with difficulty and finally reached the finals.

After winning the game, Curry squatted on the floor, covering his face and crying bitterly, Clay yelled happily, and Draymond Green celebrated wildly.

Everyone in the Warriors just felt relieved, they finally won!
In the commentary booth of TNT, Reggie Miller saw the Clippers fans still applauding the home team players, and said with emotion for a while:
"Without Kayce, the Clippers still showed the demeanor of the defending champions. This is a winning culture. No matter what difficulties the team encounters, I believe the Clippers can survive."

"As long as the core players are kept healthy, they will still be a strong contender for the championship next season. Nikola Jokic has shown his strength. I believe that after this round of series, everyone will have a new understanding of him. !"

The commentator Kevin Harlan also sent his blessings when he saw Curry crying:
"In this year's playoffs, Curry proved himself again, and I hope he can continue this performance in the finals!"

On the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia saw Li Ze sigh with regret, and immediately smiled and said:

"The Clippers are only a few rounds away from winning. I believe if you are still on the team, the situation will be completely different!"

Li Ze, who was wearing a black formal suit, was like a professional commentator at this time. Hearing the director's prompt, he smiled and summed up simply:
"Coach Vogel is still working with the team. It is not a good choice for Jaylen to attack with the ball too much."

"His movement control skills still need to be polished, and Tobias is the same. If George is there, the situation will be completely different."

"Nicola lacks aggressiveness in his play. In individual rounds, he needs to hit the basket resolutely instead of waiting for his teammates to create opportunities for him."

"But congratulations to the Warriors. Many people have underestimated Curry. I think everyone will get to know Curry again after this year's playoffs!"

"."

The finals of the 18-19 season were dubbed Leonard's revenge battle by fans.

Get up wherever you fall!

Zha Pachulia changed Leonard's career with one kick, and this year, Leonard has the opportunity to complete what he didn't finish that year.

Compared to the rookies of the Warriors in the finals, Li Ze's old teammate Ibaka has seen big scenes on the Raptors side. The Thunder defeated the powerful Big Three of the Heat.

In recent years, Ibaka has polished the mid-range again. He has not suffered serious injuries in his career. He is currently at his peak and can break out of the Eastern Conference. He also played a huge role on the defensive end.

Although the head coach Nick Nurse is a rookie, he is very good at using the strongest tactics. Leonard does not need to be mobilized at all. When he meets the Warriors, he is more energetic than anyone else!

After the Raptors lost a home game, they moved two games in a row at Oracle Arena, rewriting the big score of the series to 3:1.

G5 came to the edge of the cliff. In an interview, the head coach of Rivers began to covertly throw the blame when facing Amelia’s sports media:
"I think Kevin can play in the next game, even if his condition is only 50%, as long as he plays, he can bring great help to the team!"

Perhaps because they were too eager for the championship, everyone in the Warriors also followed suit at this time:

"Kevin should have recovered to 80%, and he can stand up and help the team at this time."

"If we have a full lineup, the Raptors will not be our opponent!"

"Even if we can't provide much support on the defensive end, as long as Kevin is on the offensive end, we can solve many problems."

After Draymond Green reached the Finals, he said in an interview that he veiledly mentioned "Without Durant, we reached the Finals."

When the team encountered difficulties, Green turned into a licking dog again, actively speaking before G5:

"We really need Kevin, even if he is not in good shape, he can bring great help to the team. He is Kevin Durant!"

Faced with the pressure from Rivers and his teammates, Durant showed an indifferent attitude, despite their mouths being worn out, he just said calmly in the interview:
"I'm only responsible for my body! I've had success with the Thunder, I've won championships, and I don't need to prove anything to others!"

"Whatever you report, I will not play in the G5 game."

The two sides directly tore face off. After Durant followed the team to Toronto, he wore protective boots and signed autographs for fans everywhere. Before the game, he chatted and laughed with Drake the drake.
The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. In the second quarter of G5, Clay fell to the ground in pain after landing on a counter-attack layup, and then never returned to the court.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Nas entered the custody state, Leonard broke out completely, and scored two consecutive goals from outside the three-point line, reversing the score!

Coach Rivers' timeout didn't help. Under the instructions of "Let's go!" and "Move!", everyone in the Warriors was completely confused.
At this time, the head coach of Nas was simply possessed by De Nagro, handing the ball to Leonard, and standing on the sidelines to take care of the whole process.

The strongest tactics worked again, and the Raptors' home court was completely violent at this time.

The rookie Warriors suddenly lost in the fourth quarter, and could only watch the imposing Leonard scoring consecutive points.

In the end, at 106:108, the Raptors reversed the game in the last quarter, defeated the Warriors 4:1, and won the championship this season!
Curry seemed to be unable to accept such a result. After the game, he sat on the floor and stared straight at the scoreboard above the field.

On the other side, Lowry and Leonard embraced passionately, and the two yelled and rushed to the bench, and the Raptors laughed and hugged each other.

The whole of Toronto is boiling at this moment, the first championship in the history of the Raptors, the gamble of the offseason finally paid off!

Also crazy are the betting dogs of Amerika. Since hearing Li Ze's point of view, some people have started to pay attention to the Raptors.

After the Raptors won the championship, the previous episode of TNT's show became popular again, and the people who eat melons can only sigh:

"Follow Li Ze to buy, the villa depends on the sea! The god of basketball really understands the ball!"

The new championship has also had an impact on the America men's basketball roster.

When the time comes to August, when all the big-name players are not playing, the bad old man Popovich can only take a bunch of cute newcomers to participate in the Men's Basketball World Cup.

At this time, the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team also confirmed the 12-man roster:

Li Ze, Zhao Jiwei, Guo Ailun, Sun Minghui, Zhao Rui, Fang Shuo, Kolan Bek, Abu Dusaramu, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian.

What makes Tianchao fans unable to complain is that the head coach Li Nan finally chose a basket of defenders
At the end of August, Li Ze also saw many old friends. Although Jaylen Brown is a new player, he has become the absolute leader of the Amelia men's basketball team.

After all, he won two championships with the Clippers and has never missed the playoffs in his career. This kind of experience has exhausted the star player Kemba Walker.
The benefit of the host is that the Tianchao men's basketball team can always avoid the America men's basketball team, and the two sides will not meet until the quarter-finals.

On August 8, when the group stage began, the Tianchao men's basketball team began to push forward. The difficulties the fans expected did not appear at all. Under the influence of Li Ze's 31+ points, he did not meet his opponent until 40 into 8.

The Serbian men's basketball team does not have Jokic as the core. Of course, this is also related to Jokic's poor physical condition.

Bogdanovic played very well in the group stage, but after encountering Li Ze's defense, he was completely inaccurate.

Although the Tianchao men's basketball team continued to lose points, relying on Li Ze's exaggerated shooting rate of nearly [-]%, it still dragged down the opponent abruptly.

At 75:82, after a small victory over Serbia, the Tianchao men's basketball team successfully entered the semi-finals.

Although the results are good, the scene is very ugly, the three-pointers are ineffective, and the outside players generally play stinky tofu.

The front line defense stretches the hips, the inside also loses rebounds, and the tactical discipline is not as good as the opponent, but basketball is sometimes so unreasonable.

With an 8% shooting percentage, Li Ze played the whole game, scored half of the team's points, and solved all problems at once.
Although the Tianchao fans were rejoicing, they were still a little apprehensive when they thought that they might encounter the America team next.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the French team directly defeated the America team by relying on their inside advantage. In this way, the opponent in the semifinals became the French team.

After the Gobert brand scope was launched, Li Ze scored 9 three-pointers in a single game to help the Tianchao men's basketball team get through the danger.

In the final, after meeting the Spanish men's basketball team, they stabbed each other for 4 quarters. In the end, relying on Li Ze's 100% shooting rate of 68 points, the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship.

At 82:88, in the Wukesong Stadium, the Chinese fans were cheering loudly. The game was not good, and the expected players were still stretching their hips, but they just won!

The host Yang Jian also ignored the process and shouted excitedly together:

"The Chinese men's basketball team is the champion!"

No one would like to lose in this way, at least everyone in the Spanish men's basketball team was unconvinced by the loss. At the final press conference, coach Scariolo complained in a low voice:

"Spain is the better team!"

On September 9th, Li Ze returned to Los Angeles in a low-key manner. On his birthday, he released a documentary on his personal channel:

"Kayce-Li"

Soon the fans realized that this was the official announcement of retirement. Unlike previous press conferences, this method seemed to be able to shorten the distance with the fans.

The entire documentary was filmed in the achievement room of Li Ze's home. Following the camera, fans can see trophies one after another.

The crystal trophies such as the best of the week and the best of the month are full of a bookshelf.
"The first month is the best, I still remember the happy look of Oklahoma City fans!"

"That was the first time Kevin and I received the award together. We were so excited at the time, and then we held a party for several days!"

Li Ze in front of the camera showed a reminiscing smile, and then began to introduce the trophies in the achievement room one by one.

"This is the first time I have won the MVP trophy. If I remember correctly, it should have broken the previous record!"

"This is the first scoring trophy. It was actually Kevin who was competing with me at the time. We seemed to be only 1 points behind in the end."

"This is the first award I got when I came to the Clippers, the best player of the week award, the specific data, uh, I can't remember it!"

"This is the first time I've won DPOY, an outside player. It's really not easy to get this award. By the way, I also won the steals champion that season."

"."

The documentary is interspersed with some scenes of the game, and the camera comes to the last FMVP trophy. Li Ze said with a smile:

"The above is my basketball story. Thanks to the fans who have always supported me. At the age of 29, I choose to officially leave the game!"

"I still love basketball, but in the future life, I want to devote more to my family!"

"Goodbye, dear basketball!"
