The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 63 The Perfect Debut (4000-word chapter)
On the other side of the ocean, in the Sina studio, the hosts and guests were all smiling.

"Director Ma, what do you think of Li Ze's performance in the first quarter, and how much can he score?" Ke Xiaofan took advantage of the break between the quarters and began to ask routinely.

"I personally give full marks. Li Ze's performance is not like a rookie player at all. From his body to his technical movements, he is not like a rookie at all."

"And he is well integrated into the team and is very suitable for this tactical system. We can see that after Li Ze played, Durant and Westbrook's offense became easier."

"But the Thunder also have hidden dangers. Their ability to protect the frame is still weak. Hawes failed to perform as expected. This is one of the reasons why the Kings' offense was misfired."

Ma Jian completely transformed himself into Li Ze, but fortunately he was relatively restrained and didn't blow it too blatantly.
"In the first quarter, Li Ze scored 3 of 3 and scored 3 points in one shot. He scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. He made no mistakes and played very efficiently."

"At the beginning of the second quarter, the substitute lineup should play first, and Li Ze should still be there. Let's look forward to the performance of the second quarter together!"

Ke Xiaofan was very much looking forward to Li Ze's high score in this game, but when he thought about it, the first quarter opened to 15, and this game might enter garbage time very early!
The atmosphere in the Ford Center arena is extremely hot now. The Thunder won a total of 23 games last season, and there were very few games with big home wins.

Today's game led by a big score, and the team's offense was extremely gorgeous and beautiful, and the Oklahoma City fans immediately became happy.

In the NBA, although defense wins the championship, fans still like fancy offense. If the regular season is ugly, the fans will not buy it.

"Kayce, keep playing offensively, stay cautious, guys, be sure to pay attention to the protection of the rebound, and pay attention to the card position!"

The second quarter began immediately. Coach Brooks hurriedly told his players that he didn't want to be overturned by a big lead.

Li Ze felt that the Kings were basically gone today, and the opponent's defense was too poor. If you want to make a comeback, you have to be able to defend first.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder replaced several veterans. Ethan Thomas and Nick Collison could both play the fourth position, and they were tall enough. In addition, Serge Ibaka was able to protect the rebounds with all his strength.

In the backcourt, coach Brooks took Kevin Ollie, who is also a veteran, to assist Li Ze and control the rhythm.

Kevin Martin of the Kings also went directly to the top, and it seemed that he wanted to chase points with all his strength.

Li Ze was still chasing Martin desperately without the ball. He didn't get rid of the defense after several screens, and finally hit a pick-and-roll to Hawes, who relied on his height advantage to directly throw a throw.

"唰" successfully scored.

The Thunder can't do anything about this kind of ball now, they can only accept it if they hit it high.

In the Thunder's current bench lineup, Li Ze's role has become a strong end point, because there are fewer outside ball-holding points, so the coordination is also simple.

In this offensive round, Li Ze asked for the ball directly in the low post, and Kevin Ollie sent the ball to Li Ze with a single hit.

After threatening, Li Zesan quickly released the ball, stuck half of Martin's body in one step, took two steps with his right hand and made an emergency stop jumper, and shot from mid-range.

"唰" hits steadily, it is really easy, this kind of thin player is Li Ze's favorite.

The badge bonus of [Three Threat Veteran] + [First Step Master] + [Emergency Stop Master] made Li Ze's first step very fast.

"The ball basically passed Martin in one step, and Li Ze's first step was very explosive! A beautiful mid-range shot!"

Ke Xiaofan had an illusion that Li Ze didn't use all his strength to hit Martin, and he passed it easily.
Head coach Brooks is very satisfied with Li Ze's performance. He can defend against the opponent's offensive arrows and finish the offense efficiently. The Thunder won the draft this year.

The Kings still couldn't attack, and Martin was distracted by Li Ze's entanglement, so he didn't move and directly touched porcelain.

"Crack" Li Ze quickly cut the ball.

"Squeak" The referee blew his whistle and called Li Ze a defensive foul.

"Sir, I think this is a good steal." Taking advantage of Martin's free throw, Li Ze came to the referee to talk.

"Young man, you have to understand the job of the referee!" The referee gave Li Ze a look.

Well, Li Ze understands, the star whistle, this kind of whistle is usually given when the team leads by a large score.

However, Li Ze decided to confront Martin again. The Thunder used the same tactics as in the previous round, and Li Ze received the ball in a low position again.

This time, Li Ze slapped Martin's body hard enough, and then turned over and shot a jumper.

Martin was a bit too late, and could only watch Li Ze make a move, there was nothing he could do.

"Shua" still scored steadily, and Guigui on the bench waved the towel frantically.

The fans in Oklahoma City also gave Li Ze a huge cheer. The rookie singles eats the opponent's star player raw. They love this scene!
When Li Ze retreated, he looked at Martin with a smile on his face, as if to say, if you make a foul, I will hit him alone when I come back.

Martin made a face, he was a bit broken, this kid looks handsome, like a sunny guy, but he doesn't show mercy when playing basketball!

Basketball shouldn't be played, you have to show some respect to veterans.
The king's offensive rhythm has never been fast, and they rely on the inside line to play positions, and occasionally there is another outside line.

The Thunder team was not in a hurry. They played slowly in the past. If they couldn't play tactics, they dumped the blame on Li Ze. They retreated quickly when they hit the iron, and the rhythm was very slow.

The second quarter lasted for more than 6 minutes, and Li Ze has already taken the blame for 3 times. Ibaka is a little expert at throwing away the blame.
But Li Ze didn't care, the boss just wanted to take over the pot, otherwise he could be called the boss?

Taking advantage of the timeout of the second quarter, Li Ze's performance was also discussed in the Sina studio.

"The Thunder's tactics are a bit interesting. In the end, the attack time is running out and I will give it to Li Ze. There must be three such balls in this quarter."

Ke Xiaofan looked at this scene a little puzzled.

"It should be the head coach's tactical requirement. Li Ze's strong shooting ability is good, so in the end, the teammates came to him for this."

Ma Jian could see clearly, and roughly guessed the Thunder's tactics.

"But on the whole, the Thunder team's substitute did hold up. Li Ze kept passing the ball to his teammates, and there were not many active attacks."

Ke Xiaofan felt a little regretful, if he played more, he felt like he could score 20 points in the first half.

"Russell, control the rhythm on the field, don't run with the opponent, play when there is a transition, and be patient in offense!"

With 5 minutes and 12 seconds left in the second quarter, Coach Brooks replaced the main lineup.

After Li Ze came off the field, he was sitting on the bench. The drink in his hand was also prepared by nutritionist Wagner. It tastes good and helps to replenish energy.

"Kayce, there are a few balls I didn't pass well, that." Ibaka sat next to Li Ze, and was interrupted by Li Ze just as he was about to say something.

"Okay, Bro, I should shoot this kind of ball. This is a tactical arrangement. You did a good job, but you have to learn from Kostic in the pick-and-roll. Remember to block it for me."

Li Ze teased Ibaka with a smile on his face, and the latter also smiled after hearing this, and immediately shook his fist with Li Ze.

The members of the coaching staff also noticed this, and they became more and more satisfied with Li Ze. It is hard to find players who are willing to take over the pot these days.

In the rest of the second quarter, the main lineups on both sides came and went, and the game was very lively, but the Kings still couldn't catch up with the score.

This is the characteristic of a big team. The defensive strength and defensive continuity are all stretched. Once the big score falls behind, it is basically over.

At the end of the halftime game, 68 to 51, the Thunder still led by a big score, and Kevin Martin played the second quarter to no avail.

During the halftime break, in the Thunder locker room, the players all looked relaxed, and Coach Brooks only gave a few simple instructions. Everyone knew that the game was basically won.

Durant laughed and scrolled through Twitter, yelling:
"Look guys, a lot of Oklahoma City fans are tweeting their support, it feels good!"

"Why do so many people on my twitter say that I dance so ugly? And tell me not to dance?"

Guigui's face darkened, it was the opening dance he carefully prepared.

Li Ze didn't look at his phone, he was eating oranges to replenish energy, but Durant took a look for him, and then he became sour.

"Come on! Why do you have twice as many comments as mine, and they all praise you and your clothes! You have to treat me to Detroit tomorrow!"

"No problem, as long as the coach agrees, we will have a big meal!" Li Ze immediately indicated that he was willing to pay the bill.

"That's over!"

The teammates suddenly laughed and complained, because the current team requirements, you can't eat food outside when you go to the away game.
The atmosphere in the Kings locker room is not very good. It was obvious that everyone was a big team last season. Why did it suddenly become like this?

Harden's mentality is really good, and it's better to have the garbage time earlier, Martin has the right to play the ball next to him, and it's also flattering to brush up the data.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Ze also started the game, but the game has completely moved to the Thunder side, and the Kings' defense has declined again. It can be seen that the opponent is about to give up.

When the third quarter played for 5 minutes, the point difference came to 22 points. The Kings requested a timeout and replaced the main players. The Thunder then also removed the main players, and the two sides entered garbage time.

At this time, the Kings were led by Harden. Originally, the bearded player was very happy, but when he saw Li Ze not playing on the Thunder team, he suddenly felt bitter, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

Then, Harden's feeling came true, and Li Ze began to show off
In the offensive round, Li Ze dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, suddenly started to accelerate, threw off the defense, faced the inside assist defense, pulled the bar with his left hand, and scored the ball.

Harden was upset.

In the offensive round, Li Ze received the ball with his back, turned around and cut into the inside line in the low post, facing the defense of the center, and scored the ball with his right hand.

Harden was in pain.

In the offensive round, Li Ze dribbled the ball with cross steps and continuously changed directions in front of his body, which directly staggered Harden, broke through the defense, and took off directly.

The block flashed in the air, and a one-arm dunk succeeded!
Harden shouted in his heart: "Coach! I want to rest!"

The fans in the Ford Center arena completely fell into the crazy shouts, this is too beautiful, this ball is really beautiful!

"Brilliant dunk! Crazy offense! Kayce is definitely the best rookie, I have fallen in love with him!"

The narrator, Te Wen, was already on full fire this time, bragging to Li Ze.

After more than 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, Li Ze was replaced, and Harden finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the show continues, he will directly apply for a foul and leave the field.
After Li Ze left the field, the audience cheered enthusiastically. Everyone was very satisfied with his performance.

本场比赛14中9，三分球5中2，罚球2中2，拿到22分7篮板10助攻的两双数据，这就是李泽为主场的俄城球迷们送上的首秀表现。

At the end of the game, 112 to 93, the Thunder beat the Kings at home and won their first victory of the new season.

杜兰特19中9，三分球3中1，罚球5中4，拿到23分8篮板3助攻。

龟龟-威斯布鲁克15中7，三分球1中0，罚球8中8，拿到22分7篮板7助攻2失误。

Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant accounted for half of the team's scoring, and the other teammates basically played well. The whole team hit hard!

After the game, Li Ze was warmly welcomed by the media, who immediately surrounded him with a whoosh. The problem was still those old-fashioned things.

Li Ze replied: "The head coach's tactics are good, the teammates trust each other, and we are all tired of logging."

But when Li Ze came to Zhang Weiping's side, he let go and said some sincere words.

"The first game was very good! Give yourself a score, how much do you think you can score?"

Zhang directed the match with excitement. There is indeed no such player as Li Ze in the Celestial Dynasty.

"Let's score 6 points, a passing performance, and a normal performance." Li Ze said modestly.

Director Zhang was a little speechless at once, good guy, this performance is a pass, then you can't go to heaven with a perfect score!

"The regular season has also started, let's talk about your goals for the new season!" Director Zhang asked the second question.

"Of course the ultimate goal is the championship. Of course, set a small goal first, to reach the playoffs and win in the playoffs."

Li Ze is not too polite, he has to chatter about the target.

"Last question. After this game, I believe many Chinese fans will pay attention to you. What do you want to say to the fans?"

Director Zhang stopped asking some clichés, and went straight to the dry goods.

"Haha, it's the same sentence, remember to vote for me in the All-Star Game, I really want to be voted champion, thank you for your support in advance!"

Li Ze laughed, and said what he thought in a joking tone.

"Okay, I'll help you get votes when you get back, come on! Show off your style!"

Director Zhang is also happy. Li Ze is indeed different from other young players. He is confident and optimistic. The more he watches, the more he likes it.

It was already late at night when Li Ze drove home. After the game, physical therapy took a long time. The trainer Meg was very particular about his body protection, and there were strict procedures before and after the game.

After a simple wash, Li Ze lay down on the big soft bed. He had to fly away to Detroit tomorrow, so he had to rest well tonight.

After midnight, after Li Ze entered the dream space, he briefly checked the badges of the achievement room, and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"The regular season is good, at least 2 points of experience can be gained in a game, and the upgrade is just around the corner!"

Feeling his body carefully in the space, Li Ze felt that the new functional drink was about to be unlocked.

"B+ grade energy drink, I really look forward to its effect!"
