The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 61 The King's Double Porcelain (4000-word chapter)
The regular season kicks off on the 28th. The Kings and the Thunder were almost the same as last season. One won 17 wins and the other 23 wins. Bad teams don't get much attention, and famous commentators won't come.

James Harden is now proud of the spring breeze. He was selected to the Kings and immediately got the starting position, and he also played the core point guard. He was very satisfied with the $360 million in the first year of his rookie season.

Although the Kings are currently pretty bad, but no matter how you play point guards and have the ball, the statistics will be much better. It is also a good choice to change teams after earning enough money.

Big gold chains and small gold watches, Harden has already arranged them all, and he has grown a beard for several months in terms of coordination, looking like a nouveau riche
"Hey Bro, you look so cool in this outfit! Looks like you're determined to grow a beard."

Li Ze came to the appointed restaurant and almost laughed out loud when he saw Harden's outfit. The gold chain is a bit thick, don't you panic?
"Yo, Kayce, you need to enjoy life after making money, look at the car you drive, and look at your outfit, it doesn't match your identity!"

Harden saw Li Ze dressed in a T-shirt, jeans, and white shoes, and immediately shared his life insights.

Li Ze's outfit was actually specially designed for him by the stylist with great effort, from hairstyle to clothes and accessories.

Except for the pair of shoes under his feet, which he chose himself, he couldn't control the rest. Originally, the stylist suggested that he wear a suit because his figure fit him very well, but Li Ze finally chose only a casual suit jacket.

The hairstyle was also trimmed, and the previous round inch was longer, which is just right for grabbing. After the careful styling, Li Ze is much more handsome. After entering the restaurant, a bunch of people looked at him.

"Okay buddy, let's order some food first. I often come to this restaurant, and the taste is very good!" Li Ze interrupted him when he heard that Harden was about to talk about raising a few big ass girls.

"Well, it seems that you have a good time in Oklahoma City. Unfortunately, there is a game today, so we can't go out to have fun. I really miss my high school days."

Harden and Li Ze are also old friends. They were rivals in high school and brothers who often had fun together.

"You can start steadily in the Kings. I saw ESPN's report on you. Wow, the best rookie!"

Li Ze teased Harden to see if this guy was really gone.

"Come on, I read the media reports that you are about to fly off the earth, you are simply the second Michael Jordan!"

Harden also teased Li Zelai, the two were so familiar with each other, they immediately started a business mutual bragging mode
In the afternoon, the Thunder briefly moved their bodies. Coach Brooks emphasized discipline again, and everyone disbanded.

The game is about to start in the evening. The coaching staff wants to check everyone's physical condition and finalize the rotation list.

"Kayce, don't be nervous at night, just perform normally." Guigui came over to comfort Li Ze kindly.

"Come on, we've already played the preseason, how can I be nervous?" Li Ze was a little helpless, Guigui underestimated him.

"Russell was very nervous in the first regular game last year. I remember him chewing gum like crazy before the game!"

Durant came over to make up for Guigui.

"The first pass to me after playing was also very powerful, almost knocking me out!"

Kostic also joked about the turtles.

"I was concentrating! It was devotion!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Guigui immediately quibbled.

With this counterattack, the teammates immediately began to talk about Guigui's performance last year, and the locker room was filled with joy.

China on the other side of the ocean also broadcast the NBA today, but CCTV broadcast the New Jersey Nets game, and Sina Sports got the rights to broadcast the Thunder game.

Therefore, many fans also came to Sina to see Li Ze's debut.

After all, the preseason game that was broadcast before was really good. Although I didn't see the subsequent games, the news performance was also very impressive.

The most important thing is that Li Ze has a gorgeous playing style. Looking at the reposted post of Oden, his popularity is also very high now. Although Sina is always watching the game, but some people don’t pick it.
Li Ze didn't pay much attention to the media. For the first game, he didn't want to lose the chain. He came to the Ford Center Arena an hour early, changed his jersey and equipment, and started warming up immediately.

The private training team also came to the arena with him today to help Li Ze adjust his physical condition.

Director Zhang and the accompanying staff also saw Li Ze, but they were not qualified for pre-match interviews, so they could only watch Li Ze show off dribbling and making shots.

"Hey! This technique is really amazing, and the shot is too accurate! It seems that I missed a super long shot!" Director Zhang sighed and said to the staff beside him.

"It's true that I missed one shot. The rookie with the No. 3 pick is really good. It's really hard to imagine how he got through training." The staff were also dumbfounded, and they were so accurate.

After Li Ze finished throwing a round, he noticed Zhang Weiping and his party on the sidelines, and hurried over to say hello.

"Didn't you say hello to the Thunder team in advance? Why are you watching the game here?" Seeing Director Zhang in the front row of the audience, Li Ze couldn't help asking curiously.

"Haha, some of us have media tickets, and here are the tickets bought by some friends who came over here. Kayce, I see that you are warming up well today, play well!"

Director Zhang is happy when he sees Li Ze, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing to the eye.

"Let's just call me Li Ze. It's awkward for you to keep using my English name. Actually, I have the tickets in the front row. Do you have my number? Just give me a call!"

Li Ze did have a few tickets for relatives in the front row, but unfortunately Annie and Britney were struggling with each other and studying hard. In the end, he gave all the tickets to his teammates who needed them.

"Okay! I'll come to you next time, haha, go on to warm up, don't worry about us, just remember to accept the interview after the game!"

Director Zhang felt relieved when he heard what Li Ze said, this young man can do it!

"If you have any questions, please contact the staff here. I'll go warm up first." Li Ze said goodbye to Zhang Weiping and his party with a smile.

"The real person is more handsome than the photo! And the Mandarin is really good, it seems that it is not ABC." The female assistant has long been attracted by Li Ze's appearance, and she almost turned into a little fan girl when she looked closely.
"The issue of identity is indeed a bit complicated, but nationality is the real thing. We don't have to think too much about it. It's all up to the top! Let's watch the game today, haha, this kid will definitely be able to play!"

Zhang Weiping is getting old and doesn't think about those things. Now he just wants to watch Li Ze's performance on the court.

The maximum capacity of the Ford Center arena is about 1 people. The fans in Oklahoma City completely filled the arena today. Because of the preseason performance, everyone is looking forward to the first game at home.

Half an hour before the start of the game, fans had already entered the stadium one after another. Many female fans started screaming and waving frantically after seeing Li Ze.

Li Ze's naturally enthusiastic response is all potential leeks, which must be raised well.

When the Thunder cheerleaders entered the arena and the live DJ played, the fans were completely happy. Li Ze felt a little excited in his heart as he felt the fiery atmosphere of the home court in the player tunnel.

"Finally, the experience of earning badges can be opened, and we must have a good time!"

When the on-site DJ yelled and introduced the players of the home team to play, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

"Let's welcome Kayce-Li from UCLA wearing number 10!!"

The fans immediately cheered for Li Ze. The Oklahoma City fans like Li Ze very much. He is handsome and able to play. The female fans are happy anyway.

Li Ze smiled and bumped fists with his teammates. Thinking of Meno dancing with Turtle before the game, he couldn't help but widen the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Taking advantage of the last warm-up period before the opening, China Sina also began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. Today's commentary is still Ke Xiaofan's partner Ma Jian.

"First, I would like to introduce the double-serving starting lineup to the audience. The Thunder's backcourt is Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, striker Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, center Nenad Kostic."

"The Kings start here with James Harden and Kevin Martin in the backcourt, Desmond Mason and Sean May in the front line, and Jason Thompson in the center."

"The two teams are still considered young teams, and there are many rookies in the team. Ma guides you how to see the future development of these two teams." Ke Xiaofan raised the topic.

"These two teams are currently rebuilding teams, and they both had good results in the past, but it is not easy to make it to the playoffs in the Western Conference. They may have talent, but they still lack a lot of experience."

Ma Jian told the truth directly, for fear that the fans would have unrealistic fantasies.

"Of course, the competition in the Western Conference is indeed too fierce. Let me tell you another thing. Kayce's Chinese name is Li Ze. Director Zhang talked with him before the game and sent me a message."

Netizens and fans who heard this felt very relieved. After all, no one likes ABC. It seems that Li Zeneng is a fan!

"Then let's talk about Li Ze again. I watched America's ESPN report. He played amazingly in the preseason. Now there are basically praises over there. What do you think, Director Ma?"

Ke Xiaofan raised the topic again.

"I found some video of Li Ze's game and watched a lot of news. I feel that his skills are very comprehensive. Of course, he has changed his position now. Let's watch his performance in the regular season together this time!"

Ma Jian is still relatively reserved, and he will boast before he comes up. After all, the confrontation in the regular season will be stronger.

"Just right, the game is about to start! Both sides jumped the ball, and Krstic jumped to the first attack for the Thunder!"

Ke Xiaofan also immediately began to pay attention to the game.

Li Ze sat on the bench calmly and acted as the team leader of the atmosphere team, but when he saw the backcourt combination of Harden and Martin, he couldn't help complaining:
"Is this a double-porcelain combination? Harden is about to start honing his foul-making skills in his rookie season."

Without Li Ze on the court, the Thunder's offensive mode is basically the same as last season, initiated by Turtle and Durant.

Although the two's organization and ability to play the ball are almost interesting, it is still no problem to break through and score the ball.

Facing Harden's defense, Guigui didn't call it a pick-and-roll. A frontal change of direction directly rushed over. The bearded player's lateral movement was indeed a bit slow, and Guigui seized the opportunity to break through successfully.

Turtle was too fast, and Sean May rushed to help defend, but let go of Jeff Green in the bottom corner. With a flick of his wrist, the ball was sent directly to Jeff Green.

The latter received the ball outside the 3-point line and shot a jumper directly.

"Shua" entered the net hollowly, and the audience gave out huge cheers.

The Kings' offense was unhurried. Harden dribbled halfway and then started hand-to-hand with his teammates. After Martin ran out of the ball to catch the ball, he feinted and Sefolosha's center of gravity was shaken.

Then he directly held the ball in his left hand and accelerated the breakthrough. Seeing Jeff Green approaching from the defense, he slammed into his body, hung up his arm, threw the ball to the basket, and let out a scream at the same time:
"what!."

The "squeak" whistle sounded, and the referee directly called Jeff Green for a thug foul.

"What???" Jeff Green had a question mark on his face. Is this also a foul?Screaming when you touch it?

Li Ze scratched his head off the court, thinking that this game has been played, and Martin can be regarded as a master at drawing fouls. If the Thunder team slowly falls behind, the Tiehua Brothers will easily come online
Standing on the free throw line, Martin was calm and made two free throws.

Harden's eyes are already shining!Such skill!He likes it very much
Sure enough, in the next 6 minutes of the game, the Thunder did not play well and did not switch offenses. Durant was a little bit hard today, and the opponent adopted a targeted defense.

As long as Durant breaks through, the help defense will be very fast, and only his left hand will be released for the breakthrough, and he will never give his right hand.

This made Durant uncomfortable. Turtle's ability to organize offenses is also average, and he couldn't catch the ball in a few rounds without the ball. Fortunately, Krstic played bravely and suppressed the opponent's inside line.

The Kings attacked, and Harden passed halftime slowly. The current team boss Kevin Martin is in a hot state. He hasn't had much chance to perform. Seeing Martin come out of the screen to catch the ball, he passes it directly.

Martin received the ball and accelerated directly, relying on Sefolosha to make a breakthrough. Suddenly, he stopped suddenly and feinted. Sefolosha was tricked, and Martin threw the ball against the defense.

"squeak"

"唰" hit steadily and successfully scored 2 plus 1.

Sefolosha is also a little helpless, this guy makes fancy fouls, this style of play really makes people mental.
Martin stood on the free throw line again and scored the ball steadily. Halfway through the first quarter, the Kings temporarily led 17 to 14.

Coach Brooks saw that Sefolosha fouled too early, so he directly signaled Li Ze to come on the stage, and stepped forward to warn:
"Kayce, pay attention to Martin's offense, don't foul easily, seize the opportunity to switch offenses, and grasp the offensive rhythm."

"No problem, coach!" Li Ze immediately signaled that he understood.

The technical station signaled the Thunder to make a substitution, and Li Ze replaced Sefoloza.

"Come on! Kayce!" Sefoloza, who was off the field, sent blessings to Li Ze, and Li Ze bumped his fists.

In Tianchao Sina studio, seeing Li Ze appearing so early, he was overjoyed.

"With 5 minutes and 32 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze came off the bench and replaced Sefoloza who made two fouls. It seems that the head coach trusts Li Ze very much!"

Ke Xiaofan was shocked, and he also looked forward to Li Ze's performance.

After appearing on the stage, Li Ze looked calm, but secretly thought in his heart:
"Pengci doesn't work for me, Harden Buster is not called for nothing!"
