The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 84: The Blast Punishment of Bearded Golfers (4400-word chapter)
Victory can cover up many problems, but as long as you lose, these problems will burst out. During the intermission, Howard no longer had a smile on his face, and his emotions were on the verge of explosion.

Playing an away game against a poor team from last year, no one would have expected such a thing to happen. The half game was 40 to 56, 16 points behind the opponent.

Especially after playing in the second quarter, Howard couldn't catch the ball. He could only watch his teammates hit the iron on the outside, and the long rebound bounced out, and the Thunder counterattacked wildly.

Turtle became a sieve for Jameer Nelson, but it is difficult for everyone to say it, and the locker room is also about seniority.

Although Jameer Nelson's forced comeback in the finals last year was not very good, Howard and his teammates didn't blame him.

Coach Van Gundy saw the silent locker room, so he could only give the big guys some chicken soup for the soul. At this time, it is useless to say any tactics. It is good if the players don't blame each other!

"I really hope that the arrival of Vince Carter can solve the team's problems, and I hope we have not made the wrong choice in this transaction"

Van Gundy could only pray silently in his heart.

In contrast, the Thunder's locker room was full of laughter and laughter, and everyone had a smile on their faces. It felt really great to beat a team that reached the finals last season!
"Okay guys, I'm announcing that I'm giving Kayce my beloved same necklace, his dunk is so cool!"

Jeff Green went crazy. In the locker room, he took out a big gold chain of the same style as his, and hung it around Li Ze's neck.

"Wow! Bro, I like this necklace very much, but it's a bit too heavy. Next time you can consider making it thinner."

Li Ze immediately felt his neck sinking, good guy, wearing this thing every day can definitely exercise his neck muscles.
"No, no, no, Kayce, the gold chain, the thicker the better, I promise, with this necklace, the chicks in the nightclub will fall in love with you!"

Jeff Green kept bragging about his glorious achievements while talking.

Li Ze saw that everyone was bragging and farting again, and he smiled inwardly. The feeling of winning is indeed wonderful!
During the intermission, the audience at the Ford Center Arena were also very happy. The current home record is unbeaten, and today's game is almost won. Although the ticket price has increased a little, but if you can see such a game, then No loss!

The home commentator Twain began to complain about the NBA:
"The league should really add some Thunder national coverage, our lads are so good, they deserve more attention!"

In fact, the NBA has already begun to coordinate on this matter, and the broadcast issue of China is also in communication. After all, who would have thought that last season's 23 wins and poor teams would counterattack this season?
The Tianchao players on the other side of the ocean also began to complain about the broadcast. It was too difficult to watch Li Ze's game. The resources they found were vague and stuck, and they had no experience watching the game.

"Brothers, I was watching the game in Oklahoma City today. Li Ze's performance was explosive. My voice was fucking hoarse. After the game, I will try to get an autograph. Li Ze is so fucking handsome!"

"I'm envious of those who can watch the game live. What's the atmosphere in Oklahoma City? There is no broadcast today, so I can only watch the text live broadcast on Hupu. It's so embarrassing!"

"It was very hot, especially when Li Ze dunked Gortat's ball, it exploded on the spot, and everyone around me screamed crazily."

At present, some international students or Chinese have come to watch Li Ze play live. The ticket price at Oklahoma City's home court is not expensive, so coming to watch a game is just like playing.

Fans of Tianchao often see Li Ze on the top ten balls recently, but the more they watch the collection, the more they feel unsatisfactory. After all, there is nowhere to watch the ball!
At present, Li Ze's fans can only post in various post-match news to get over their addiction.

"The landlord is going to sign the autograph, remember to come back and post. In the interview video of Director Zhang, Li Ze is too handsome. Let's see what the real person looks like this time!"

"Agreed, wait for the host to post the picture after the game, no picture, no truth!"

After the start of the third quarter, both sides got back their main lineups. After Li Ze came on the court, he found that the players on the Magic team were not in high spirits and played casually.

A group of people watched Howard slamming hard inside and no one ran. The players stopped. Seeing this situation, Li Ze knew that there was basically no suspense in this game.

After Howard's successful strong play, the Thunder quickly dribbled through the half court, still playing the screen on the line, and passed the ball continuously hand-to-hand.

Durant passed Krstic's pick-and-roll cover, took a step and directly made a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

"Shua" scored 2 points easily.

Li Ze observed that Howard's defense did not come up, and Van Gundy was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. It seemed that the Magic just wanted to go through the motions.

In the next game, the defenses on both sides gradually disappeared. The scene was very lively, but the point difference still could not be narrowed, and Li Ze had no interest.
Fortunately, this has not affected the trend of the game. With more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Magic team replaced their water dispenser players after a timeout, and then the Thunder also withdrew their main players.

The time of the fourth quarter also quickly ended, and finally the Thunder beat the Orlando Magic 110 to 82.

The players who came off the bench for the Thunder will not relax and show themselves to the fullest in the limited time.

So, sometimes big losses are not caused by the main lineup. After all, what the substitute players want is data.
李泽本场比赛12中8，3分球4中2，罚球2中2，得到20分5篮板8助攻，本来是全中的，但第三节一放松自己铁了
杜兰特14中9，3分球2中1，罚球2中2，得到21分6篮板2助攻1失误，龟龟12中8，罚球4中4，得到20分4篮板5助攻2失误。

These two hit hard in the third quarter, and the data has also looked a lot better. Basically, as long as the Thunder currently have Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant, as long as they feel online, the game will be easy to play. The Big Three have initially taken shape.

After the game, the home fans were very enthusiastic and wanted to take photos with their favorite stars, and Li Ze had the most people.

"Kayce, this way! This way!" A group of white girls yelled at Li Ze frantically.

"Don't worry, I'll sign the contract before I leave, everyone, don't worry!" Li Ze saw the girls vying for each other, so he hurriedly comforted her.

"Kayce, will you still release a single for Christmas? I love your songs so much, and you play basketball well. God, I really love you!"

This broad-minded brown-haired girl kept throwing herself at Li Ze. When the others saw the situation, they immediately became excited. You hugged your arms, and I hugged your waist. Anyway, it's just touching, and it's worth it!

In the end, the team staff couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly pulled the girls away.

"It's okay, it's okay! Let's take a photo together at the end, sorry it's late today, I can't take a photo alone!"

Li Ze hurriedly asked everyone to take a group photo, it's not good for these girls to be too enthusiastic.
As soon as everyone heard the group photo, they huffed and surrounded Li Ze directly, and the bold girl jumped on Li Ze directly.

Surrounded by a lot of girls, Li Ze found a compatriot dressed as a student standing outside, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Brother, let's take a group photo together. I'm sorry it's too late today. If you have a chance to come to the home court in the future, I will give you a front row ticket!"

Hearing this, the young man was very excited, but when he saw Li Ze was crowded with girls, he had no choice but to stand behind. Finally, with the help of the team staff, a group photo was finally completed.

The team has to fly to Sacramento tomorrow to challenge the Kings away. Li Ze also made an appointment with the bearded player to meet tomorrow, so he has to go home early to rest tonight.

"This guy Harden must be very happy. The Kings sent most of the old guys away. This is to cultivate his rhythm!"

On the way home in the car, Li Ze was listening to music while thinking about Harden's situation. Harden's stats had already risen.

In the previous game between the Kings and the Jazz, Harden made 15 of 7, 3 of 3 2-pointers, 19 of 16 free throws, 32 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Although he made 4 turnovers, he still helped the team win.

However, the Jazz media slammed Harden's free throws, thinking that the referee ruined their victory. This game was also highly discussed on America's side. After all, the number of free throws was indeed a bit too much.

On the plane to Sacramento the next day, everyone in the Thunder team was in good spirits. Last night's game was relatively easy, and everyone recovered quickly.

"Kayce, did you read the report on Twitter, Howard said he wanted to fire Van Gundy, this is crazy!"

Durant said he saw the news while drawing cards.

"Howard shouldn't be that stupid. He definitely wouldn't say such things publicly. Kevin, don't watch some Twitter news. There are more and more outrageous reports now!"

Li Ze guessed that Howard might have talked about it behind his back, but he was caught by the media as a pigtail, and it became the current news with embellishments.

"If you say bad things about the coach in college, the player will definitely sit on the bench, but the situation may be different in the NBA. After all, Howard is a superstar!"

Guigui looked intently at the cards in his hand, while casually complaining.

"The management will not indulge the players. If the requirements of the star players are all met, then the league will be in chaos! Wow, I am so lucky today!"

Jeff Green expressed his opinion with a red face.

"Shet! I hate Texas Hold'em! Guys, let's play something else next time!"

Li Ze looked at his bad cards and felt powerless to complain.
"No! We all love Texas Hold'em!"

After arriving in Sacramento and putting away his luggage at the hotel, Li Ze went directly to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Harden to catch up on old times and settle down for lunch.

"Haha, Bro, you finally figured it out, this necklace is really cool! Looks like I'll have to order a thicker one too!"

Seeing the image of Li Ze in jeans, a white T-shirt, and a big gold chain around his neck, Harden burst out laughing.

"Come on, it's better to be thinner. This is a gift from Jeff Green. I personally prefer lighter ones." Li Ze shrugged helplessly after sitting down.

"It seems that you have a very good life in the Thunder team, a triple-double record, God, this is incredible!" Harden took the lead in entering the business bragging mode.

"That's just a boring record. You guys have scored 32 points, the highest score for a rookie this year. The media on Twitter were talking about you a few days ago!"

After Li Ze drank his saliva, he immediately started bragging. In terms of business bragging, he is definitely No.1 in the league!
"Come on, because of that game, I was scolded miserably, especially the Jazz fans. In addition to scolding the referee, they were crazy about me."

When Harden mentioned this, he was also a little depressed. After all, he was still a rookie, and he had never seen this scene.

"Anyway, you won the game in the end. This is how you score. The referee allows it. There is nothing wrong with free throws, but remember to pay attention to the scale of whistle-blowing. It is not a good thing to rely too much on free throws."

Li Ze has no prejudice against fouls. He can make free throws, but this is only a means of scoring. A real superstar relies on hard power.

"Of course, making fouls and testing the referees, I learned from you at the earliest. In high school, that guy Thompson was kicked off the court by me once. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

Bringing up the past in high school, Harden's mood suddenly improved, and he picked up the juice and started to ton.

"Yeah, Klay was mad in that game, and you laughed at his dribbling, and you two almost got into a fight!"

Li Ze smiled happily when he thought about what happened in high school.

"Facts have proved that his dribbling skills are just not good. This is the same as his aesthetic vision. Kayce, if I have a chance, I will take you to the best venue in Sacramento to have a good time. I promise to make you feel good!"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Harden immediately regained his spirits, and introduced the results of his exploration in the past few months to Li Ze eloquently.

While listening, Li Ze smiled knowingly:
"The bearded golfer is still the same as in high school, which feels good!"

On the night of the 10th, the atmosphere in the ARCO arena was very hot. Although the team traded veterans who passed away, the current consecutive victories also greatly increased the confidence of the fans.

Especially James Harden's performance has won the love of many local fans, and the big beard on his face has also become Harden's symbol.

"The Kings have also been completely rebuilt, and the Princeton style of play will become a thing of the past!"

When Guigui was warming up before the game, he couldn't help sighing when he saw the personnel situation of the Kings.

"They really have a chance to beat the Lakers. It's a pity that O'Neal's dominance in the interior is too strong, incredible athletic talent."

Durant missed the game while shooting.

"I hope the Kings will rise later. The playoff competition in the Western Conference is too fierce. I am a little envious of the teams in the Eastern Conference."

Li Ze complained about the West while moving his body.

"Hey, we are now number one in the league. I am happy just thinking about it. No one was optimistic about us before the start of the game!"

When Li Ze heard that Guigui began to poison him continuously, he suddenly looked strange, and sighed in his heart:

"If you meet the Lakers with a well-managed team, there is a high probability that the game will be explained. I hope that you will not enter the iron flower mode when the wind is headwind."

The game was about to start, and the Kings' home DJ began to yell, constantly introducing players to the field. When Harden appeared, the audience cheered for him.

In this game, Li Ze still started the game, and the task assigned to him by the coaching staff was to defend Harden.

The bearded golfer was very happy today. Before the game, he hugged Li Ze and made a few sentences:
"Kayce, I will give my all in today's game, don't blame me for losing."

"Bro, how long has it been since you beat me, don't worry, I'll give you a break at the right time!" Li Ze patted Harden on the shoulder with a smile, turned and left.

The home commentator of the Kings also began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams.

The starting guards for the Kings are James Harden and Benno Udrih, the forwards are Andres Nocioni and Jason Thompson, and the center is Spencer Hawes.

This lineup is still very reasonable, the old brings the new, and at the same time gives the rookies a lot of playing time.

On the Thunder side, Turtle and Li Ze still partnered in the backcourt, Durant and Jeff Green formed the front line, and center Krstic.

"The game is officially on, well done, lad, Hawes successfully jumped to the ball!"

The Kings' home commentator also immediately joined the game.

Li Ze looked at the bearded golfer who had dribbled halfway, and smiled in his heart:
"It's a brother, so I have to guard against you! I hope you won't complain that I'm too ruthless after the game!"
