The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 64 Away Pistons

The NBA's schedule is very dense. On the second day after playing at home, they have to get on the plane and go to Detroit to play against the Pistons.

The early away games have less impact than the team, but with the deepening of the season and the consumption of physical energy, this kind of flying game will affect the physical condition of the players.

But Li Ze didn't have this trouble. The B-level energy drink in the dream training space allowed him to fully recover his physical fitness in the next day. For the away game, it was just a trip.

On the plane, Li Ze was playing cards with his teammates to pass the boring time.

Durant and Guigui were holding magazines in their hands, reading with gusto.

"Kevin, what's so good about the magazine, play a few rounds for me, I'm not going well now."

Li Ze couldn't help being curious when he saw Durant staring at the magazine.

"Scarlett Johansson is so charming, I think I'm going to fall in love with her!"

While putting down the magazine, Durant said to Li Ze, this guy has been watching Scarlett's news just now
"I admit that Scarlett is indeed magnificent, but don't you think she is a bit short? There are not many women in Hollywood who are innocent."

Scarlett is not Li Ze's favorite, he likes tall and tall people, below 170cm, he basically has no interest unless the other party has certain specialties.

"Taylor is still the best, beautiful and sweet, Kayce, the next album will depend on you!"

Turtle is a die-hard fan of Taylor, and everyone automatically ignores his words.

"It's not about height, it's about temperament, guys, that charming temperament is the most important thing!"

Durant explained to his teammates while drawing cards.

"Forget it, Kevin, this kind of blonde girl is not our style, I still prefer passionate Latin girls!"

Jeff Green, the LSP, almost said that he likes small electric motors directly. Li Ze is speechless because of his love for big buttocks.

"Latin girl, Shalaqi is really beautiful! It's a pity that she is too petite."

Li Ze reluctantly agreed with Jeff Green's point of view, after all, he especially liked learning Spanish in high school.

"Whoa!! What kind of bad card is this! Kayce, there is definitely something wrong with your position!"

When Durant turned his attention to the cards, he called out directly. Li Ze smiled and turned away quietly.

"Kevin, you have to hold on for a few rounds, don't try to cheat!"

The Detroit Pistons won the championship a few years ago, allowing fans to see the hope of revival.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the team began to go downhill again. Although it still achieved a record of 39 wins last season and entered the playoffs, it was swept out by James' Cavaliers in the first round.

However, there have been changes in the opponent's personnel this season. Allen Iverson was sent away, and several backcourt players were added. Moreover, the current main force is still plagued by injuries. Richard Hamilton should not play this game.

"I don't like the city of Detroit very much, and I don't like the style of play of the Pistons."

After arriving at the hotel, Guigui began to complain. Rookies generally don't like it here, and the old Pistons play a bit tough.

The style of play in the entire Eastern Conference is almost based on muscular confrontation.

Turtle was very uncomfortable in his rookie season last year. He is not afraid of confrontation, but if there is too much confrontation, it is easy to hit iron.

"I don't like this way of playing, but the league encourages confrontation. Look at their games against the Lakers a few years ago. Defense can win championships."

Durant was very honest and told the truth.

"I think tomorrow's game will definitely be difficult to play. The Pistons, who are physically strong, hope they feel cold."

Li Ze only hopes to earn more experience badges, and he has a few badges that are about to be upgraded.

The Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Pistons, can accommodate nearly 2 spectators. On the night of the 30th, Detroit fans had already filled the arena.

Li Ze could feel the fans' support for the Pistons during the warm-up. After all, they won the championship a few years ago and defeated the gorgeous Lakers.

Coach Brooks has put more trust in veterans since the start of the regular season, and Maynor and Byron have all fallen out of the rotation.

"Kevin, you must move the ball more. The opponent must defend you in a targeted manner. Prince is an elite defender. Don't force yourself to attack."

After Brooks had a routine of chicken soup, he began to remind the autumn players to pay attention.

When the DJ on the scene started shouting, the Thunder team also appeared one after another. What made Li Ze interesting was that when his name was pronounced, there was a small amount of boos.

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." Li Ze complained helplessly in his heart.

After the last game, ESPN gave him another blow, Stephen-A praised him lavishly, and Li Ze seriously suspected that his agent Chapman had given him a red envelope.
The on-site commentary of the Pistons also teased Li Ze:

"Kayce will definitely not like it here. The Palace of Auburn Hills is the grave of rookies. I bet he won't get 10 points today. This is not the West of the soft guy."

Li Ze is still coming off the bench today. He has a hunch that there will be no more garbage time today.

"Come on, Bro!" Li Ze stepped forward to bump fists with his teammates.

"The game has officially started. Luckily, the Thunder team got the offensive ball!" The commentator of the Pistons opened fire.

The Pistons' starting lineup has changed a lot, with Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey in the backcourt, Tyshawn Prince and Charlie Villanueva in the front, and Ben Wallace in the center.

After halftime, Guigui found that the opponent's defense was very oppressive, and the rotation was also very fast. Without a good opportunity, they found Durant hand in hand.

Durant felt a little uncomfortable facing Prince's defense. The opponent was tall and long-armed, and he was good at physical confrontation and full of strength, which made Durant unable to get rid of the defense easily.

Fortunately, after barely breaking through, he found Sefolosha on the outside, who caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper.

The "shua" ball went into the net hollowly, opening the situation for the Thunder.

Coach Brooks sees a problem with the team's offense, but it can't be helped. You can't expect every team to be like the Kings.
The offensive rhythm of the Pistons is very slow. They have full experience and patiently share the ball. With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Ben Gordon catches the ball from the outside and shakes the tortoise lightly.
Take a mid-range jumper
"Shua" 2-pointer was scored steadily.

The fans at the scene immediately sent huge cheers for the home team.

After the Thunder team's offensive tortoise dribbled through halftime, they played a pick-and-roll with Krstic, accelerated in a straight line and passed Rodney Stuckey, and went straight to the basket.

Ben Wallace's supplementary defense was very timely, and he made a small move during the confrontation, which made the turtle lose its focus and hit the iron with anger.

Ben Wallace received the rebound and passed it directly to Prince to initiate a conversion attack. The Thunder retreated a bit slower.

Prince drove straight in, went straight to the basket, and against Sefolosha who returned to the defense, he made steady progress by virtue of his height advantage.

After the Thunder hit a few irons on offense, the Pistons used the positions they were good at to attack, slowly expanding their advantage in the game.

The pace of the game was very slow, the first quarter lasted more than 6 minutes, and the Thunder trailed 12 to 18 by 6 points.

Seeing that the team was in trouble, Brooks called Li Ze directly:

"Kayce, try to speed up the pace of the game after playing, we need to increase the number of rounds."

"No problem, coach." Li Ze replied immediately, and at the same time secretly thought:
"After this game, the [Rhythm Shooter] badge should be able to be upgraded, which is really exciting."
