Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 177. Chapter 177.
During the team training in the afternoon, teammates sent blessings one after another.

All three players successfully passed the second round, and Li Cha was still the top voter.

The Thunder have never had an All-Star vote champion, and Durant only won the first place in the Western Conference in 14, but he is still not as good as James.

Li Cha set another record.

The teammates seemed to have regained their energy, and they became more focused during training.

Is it the excitement of losing or are you really waiting for the results of the second round of voting?This is unknown.

On January 1, the Thunder challenged the Hornets in an away game. The weak Hornets played their home court advantage and tried their best on both offense and defense.

In the first half, the Hornets took advantage of Walker's breakthrough and three-pointers to lead the team's crazy output and confronted the tough Thunder.

55:60, the Hornets also led by 5 points.

In the third quarter, when the Hornets' feeling declined, they also used their tough defense to resist the momentum of the Thunder's counterattack.

With 17:18 in a single quarter, the Hornets continued to lead by 6 points.

If you continue to fight like this, the Hornets are sure to win.

But the Thunder had lost three games in a row, and this time they were trying their best to get back a round. The depression in the first three quarters was more like the spring had been pressed to the bottom, and the rebound would be unstoppable.

In the final quarter, before Westbrook played, Li Cha took the lead in firing.

Faced with the Hornets, who were shrinking the inside and wanted to continue to rely on the defense to hold back the score, Li Cha opened fire from outside the three-point line.

This is forgetting that Li Cha was a three-point shooter in the first team.

The reason why he often hits the mid-range is because of the team's offensive area allocation, but as a conventional weapon, Li Cha still shows up from time to time.

At the last moment of the Christmas War, a three plus one was played.

Li Cha's three-pointer started the prelude to the Thunder's counterattack, and the substitute players were like freshmen. Each of them was able to score goals in their own position, which was completely different from when they lost the game.

Westbrook sat comfortably on the bench for 8 minutes, the normal rotation time.

At this time, under the leadership of Li Cha, the 6-point difference has been wiped out.

Westbrook saw that his brothers were working so hard, and he would not fall behind. When Li Cha and the substitute relied on the outside to disrupt the opponent's defense, Westbrook broke into the inside again, turning the already chaotic inside of the Hornets into a hornet's nest.

The defense failed, and the Hornets' offense was also suppressed and stagnated. Walker's three-pointer was blocked by Robertson and Li Cha in turn.

威斯布鲁克21投8中拿到20分12篮板7助攻，乔治14投6中得到17分8篮板，李茶18投8中得到23分7篮板2助攻。

Rebound career record.

The Thunder scored 30:15 in the final quarter and won by 9 points.

102:93, of which the substitute players contributed 30 points.

On January 1, the Thunder returned to their home court against the Kings.

The Thunder didn't feel good in this game, and the team's shooting percentage was only a little over 40%. It is difficult to win in such a state, but the Thunder played a rare tough defense, lowering the opponent's shooting percentage.

The Kings shot less than 40 percent from the field.

Li Cha scored 18 points and 7 rebounds on 20 of 5 shots, which was the highest score in the game.

威斯布鲁克14投8中高效拿下19分16篮板9助攻准三双，也是因为威斯布鲁克的发挥，令雷霆赢得比赛。

乔治17投7中得到18分4篮板4助攻。

The King lost to the Thunder 88:95, can the Thunder start the winning streak again?
On January 1, the Thunder played against the Lakers again at home.

The Lakers learned the lessons of the last game, and center Brook Lopez was discharged from the starting lineup.

Kuzma is still in the starting position, and Randle has become Kuzma's backup.

But such a change does not play any role, the current strength of the Lakers has been in the bottom of the league.

This game is even more a game that makes fans sad.

In the first half, the Lakers and the Thunder were able to play back and forth, neither of them could restrain the other. Both sides shot more than 50% of the shots. The Thunder only led by 6 points into the second half.

And these 6 points were only obtained by the Thunder grabbing 5 more offensive rebounds.

It can only be said that the Thunder players are more active on the court and have more desire to win, and the 6-point difference is not only not big for the disparity in strength between the two teams, but it can be said to be very small.

Randall even made 10 of 8 shots and scored 16 points to match Li Cha. The only two goals he missed were three-pointers.

54:60 ended the first half.

In the third quarter, the Lakers suddenly lost their will and let the Thunder confiscate their rebounds without any struggle. In one quarter, the Thunder grabbed 6 offensive rebounds, while the Lakers only had 7 rebounds in the whole quarter. The Thunder's 16 rebounds were more than double that of the Lakers.

Getting an offensive rebound means more shots, and the Thunder's second score quickly overwhelmed the Lakers.

Randall, who performed well in the first half, was hidden in the snow and only played for 2 minutes without scoring a point.

The Thunder won by as many as 18 points with 33:15 in a single quarter, making the game completely lose suspense.

The Lakers also have a strong character. If I lose, I will replace the full starters. Facing the Lakers, who are equally capable as the starters and substitutes, the Thunder also replaced the full substitutes and finished the fourth quarter with their opponents.

The Big Three scored well in the three quarters. The high efficiency is one aspect. The Lakers played so well that the fans said "there is a difference between having Kobe and not having Kobe", which also made people very annoyed.

威斯布鲁克20投8中得到19分6篮板7助攻，乔治14投6中得到16分5篮板3助攻，李茶16投11中得到29分的3篮板2助攻。

The Lakers lost the game 90:114.

Thunder once again won three consecutive victories.

The next Thunder will challenge James' Cavaliers in an away game on the 20th.

The Cavaliers are currently 26 wins and 17 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is not high.

Whether the Thunder can continue the winning streak while the Cavaliers are not in good shape has received widespread attention.

At the same time, the focus is also on the contest between Li Cha and James for the top ticket.

The confrontation between the strongest active basketball player and the largest fan group in the world.

The result will be announced on the 18th.

At the same time, the All-Star starters will also be announced.

On the 18th, the team gave everyone a day off. In such an excited state, the training is also nonsense. It is better to give the players time and space to digest.

Li Cha and Westbrook George went home after their morning exercises.Although Westbrook's fan vote only ranks fourth, if the media and players rank first, it is still possible to enter the starting lineup with a comprehensive score of second. George has a better chance, he only needs to compete for the top three.

Li Cha is in a completely different state. His fans vote will definitely rank first among Western defenders, but if the players and media votes are both fifth or later, he will also fall into the starting lineup.

The player with the most votes or the most voted by fans in the Western Conference can't make the starting lineup. Li Cha doesn't care if the league is ridiculed, but it's uncomfortable to be ridiculed.

Waiting anxiously at home, Li Cha kept standing up, pacing, and then sitting back on the sofa, going back and forth countless times.

Luo Xi, who was waiting for the result in the living room with Li Cha, was dazzled by Li Cha.

"Can we not do this?" Luo Xi looked contemptuous, "Weren't you very capable when the results of the second round came out last week? You don't care about the results at all. What happened today?"

As Luo Xi said, he kept pressing F5 on the laptop keyboard. On the front-end web browser, the homepage of the NBA official website also flashed with this rhythm.

"Ah? What's the matter with me?" Li Cha sat back on the sofa, took a glass of water to drink, and replied with a dull face.

It seemed that the person who was anxiously pacing at home just now was not Li Cha himself.

Bringing the cup to his mouth, Li Cha took a sip, put it back on the tea table, clasped his hands on his knees, and lowered his head as if praying.

Luo Xi glanced at the glass that had been out of water for a long time, shook his head, and continued to press his F5.

I don't know how long it has passed, but when Luo Xi, whose eyes were staring and drowsy, refreshed the page, a pop-up window slowly popped up in the lower right corner.

"2018 All-Star starting list!"

"Hey! Smelly guy! Come here!" Luo Xi lost all sleepiness for a moment, and the 80 decibel shout made Li Cha jump up in shock.

"Did you come out? Did you come out?" Li Cha jumped up and down beside Luo Xi.

"where?"

Under the gaze of the two, Luo Xi clicked into the pop-up window and opened a new page.

"The NBA's 2018 All-Star starters are as follows:"

"The Eastern Conference starting lineup is James, Antetokounmpo, Embiid, Irving, DeRozan."

"The starting list for the Western Conference is Durant, Davis, Cousins, Curry, and Li Cha."

"Among them, James and Curry serve as captains respectively."

"The all-star vote leader is Li Cha, who received a total of 2834165 fan votes; James is second, with a total of 2467314 fan votes."

"The All-Star substitute list will be announced on the 23rd of this month."

Li Cha and Luo Xi looked at each other, and their breathing gradually became short of breath.

"Yeah!" Li Cha and Luo Xi raised their hands together and cheered loudly.

"Alas..." The laptop was overturned and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Cha quickly grabbed it and put it on the coffee table.

This also calmed the two of them down.

Luo Xi stroked the hair that fell in front of her body, still panting, and said to Li Cha with a smile: "Honey, congratulations! You have successfully been selected as the All-Star starter!"

Li Cha took a deep breath, opened his arms, and wanted to give Luo Xi a big hug.

Luo Xi's face gradually flushed, but he still looked at Li Cha bravely.

"Ding ding ding..." The ringing of the phone interrupted the atmosphere of the two.

"Who is it!" Li Cha picked up the phone without looking at the phone, and yelled without a good voice.

"Congratulations! Brother Li, you..."

"Crack!" Li Cha hung up the phone without saying a word when he heard that it was Allen.

Opening his arms again, Luo Xi blushed again, but this time he buried his head.

"Ding ding ding..." The phone rang again.

Angrily, Li Cha grabbed the phone and was about to turn it off, only to find that it was Westbrook calling.

Take a deep breath, or pick it up.

"Congratulations, Li!" Westbrook's voice was full of blessings, but there was also a trace of imperceptible loss.

Westbrook, who averaged 25 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists per game, was not selected as the starter, which is indeed the biggest legacy.
