In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, in the Sina studio, the host and guests were all smiling.

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

"I personally scored a perfect score, Li Ze's performance is not like a rookie player at all, from the body, to the technical movements, he is not like a rookie at all."

"And he fits into the team very well, which is very suitable for this tactical system, and we can see that after Li Ze came on the court, Durant and Westbrook offense became easier."

"But there are also hidden dangers on the Thunder's side, their ability to protect the rim is still a little weaker, and Hawes has not been able to play as expected, which is one of the reasons why the Kings are dumb offensively."

Ma Jian completely incarnated Li Ze to blow it, but fortunately, he was still relatively restrained, and he didn't blow it too explicitly...

"In the first quarter of the game, Li Ze was 3 of 3, scored 3 points with 3 points, scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, no mistakes, and played very efficiently."

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

Ke Xiaofan was very much looking forward to Li Ze's high score this time, but as soon as he thought about it, he opened 15 in the first quarter, and this game may enter garbage time very early!

......

The atmosphere at Ford Center is very hot right now, and the Thunder played a total of 23 games last season, which is a particularly small number of home wins.

Today, this game is a big lead, and the team's offense is unusually gorgeous and beautiful, and the Russian City fans are immediately happy.

In the NBA league, although defense wins championships, fans still like fancy offense, and if the regular season is ugly, fans won't buy it.

"Kayce, keep the offense going, stay cautious, guys, be sure to pay attention to the protection of the rebound, pay attention to the card position!"

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

Li Zezhi felt that the Kings were basically gone today, the opponent's defense was too poor, and if you wanted to turn the tables, you had to be able to defend it first.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder replaced several veterans, Etang Thomas, Nick Collison can both play the No. 4 position, and they are tall enough, plus Ibaka, to protect the rebound.

The head coach of the backcourt Brooks took Kevin Ollie, who is also a veteran, to assist Li Ze and control the tempo.

On the Kings' side, Kevin Martin also went straight to the top, and it seemed that he wanted to chase the points with all his might.

Li Ze still chased Martin without the ball, failed to shake off the defense several times, and finally played a block to Hawes, who relied on his height advantage to throw a direct throw.

"Whew..."

There is nothing the Thunder team can do now, they can only accept it if they hit it.

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

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 blow.

Li Zesan quickly released the ball after threatening, stuck Martin's half of his body in one step, and dribbled two steps with his right hand to directly make a stop-and-go jump shot, and shot from a mid-distance.

"Hmph..."Steady hitting, it's really easy, this kind of thin player is Li Ze's favorite.

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

"This ball basically passed Martin in one step, and Li Ze's first step was very explosive! Beautiful mid-range shots! ”

Ke Xiaofan had the illusion that Li Ze didn't use all his strength to beat Martin, and he passed it easily...

Coach Brooks is very satisfied with Li Ze's performance, he can defend the opponent's offensive arrows, and the offense can also finish efficiently, and the Thunder won this year's draft.

The Kings' offense still couldn't fight, and Martin was upset by Li Ze's entanglement, and finally touched the porcelain directly without a move.

"Smack..."Li Ze quickly cut the ball.

"Squeak..."The referee's whistle blew and Li Ze was fouled defensively.

"Sir, I think it's a good steal." Taking advantage of Martin's free throws, Li Ze came to the referee to complain.

"Boy, you have to understand the referee's job!" The referee gave Li Ze a look.

Well, Li Ze understood, the star whistle, in the case of a big lead, this kind of whistle will generally be given.

However, Li Ze decided to give Martin another confrontation, and the Thunder offense played the same tactics as in the previous round, and Li Ze received the ball in the low post again.

This time, Li Ze directly hit twice, hitting Martin's small body enough, and then directly turned over and jumped back.

Martin was a big beat slower, and he could only watch Li Ze make a move, and there was nothing he could do.

"Huh..." was still steadily entering, and the turtle on the bench waved the towel frantically.

The fans of the Russian city also sent huge cheers to Li Ze, the rookie singles ate the opponent's star players raw, this scene, they liked to see it!

Li Ze looked at Martin with a smile on his face when he retreated, as if to say, if you make a foul, I will hit you alone when I come back.

Martin pulled a face, he broke the defense a little, this kid looks very handsome on the outside, like a sunny man, but he doesn't play mercilessly at all!

Basketball shouldn't be played and killed, you have to show respect to the veterans...

The Kings' offense has never been fast-paced, and they play on the inside, and occasionally on the outside.

The Thunder team is not in a hurry, they will play slowly in the past, and if the tactics can't be successful, they will throw the pot to Li Ze, and when they hit the iron, they quickly retreated, and the rhythm was very slow.

The second quarter lasted more than 6 minutes, Li Ze had already picked up 3 pots, Ibaka, this kid is a little expert in throwing pots, once it can't be ended, Li Ze will be passed on...

But Li Ze doesn't care, the boss just has to do the work of picking up the pot, otherwise he can be called the boss?

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

"The tactics of the Thunder team are a bit interesting, and in the end, I will give Li Ze when there is not much time to attack, and there will be 3 such balls in this section."

Ke Xiaofan looked at this scene and was a little puzzled.

"It should be the manager's tactical requirements, Li Ze's strong shooting ability is good, so in the end, his teammates looked for him."

Ma Jianzhi saw it clearly and roughly guessed the tactics of the Thunder team.

"But on the whole, the Thunder team's bench did withstand it, and Li Ze kept passing the ball to his teammates, and he didn't take the initiative to attack much."

Ke Xiaofan has some regrets, if he fights more, he feels that he can score 20 points in the half.

......

"Russell, control the rhythm on the court, don't run with the opponent, play if there is a transition, and be patient in attack!"

With 5:12 left in the second quarter, Coach Brooks switched to the main lineup.

Li Ze sat on the bench after getting off the field, and the drink in his hand was also prepared for him by nutritionist Wagner, which tasted good and helped replenish his physical strength.

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

"Okay, Bro, I'm supposed to shoot this kind of ball, it's a tactical arrangement, you're doing a good job, but you'll have to learn a little more from Kostic in the pick-and-roll, remember to help me block a little tighter."

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

The members of the coaching staff also noticed this, and they became more and more satisfied with Li Ze, and it was difficult to find players who were willing to take over the pot these years.

For the rest of the second quarter, the main lineups on both sides went back and forth and played lively, but the Kings still couldn't catch up with the score.

This is the characteristic of the fish belly team, the defensive intensity, the defensive continuity are all stretched, once the big score is behind, it is basically over.

At halftime, 68-51, the Thunder still had a big lead, and it didn't help Kevin Martin to play the full second quarter.

At halftime, in the locker room of the Thunder team, the players were all relaxed, and Coach Brooks only gave a few simple words, everyone knew that the game was basically won.

Durant laughed and swiped Twitter while shouting:

"Look, guys, a lot of Russian City fans are tweeting in support of us, and it feels great!"

"Why do a lot of people under my tweet say I'm dancing so ugly? And tell me to stop jumping? ”

The turtle's face turned dark, and it was the opening dance he had carefully prepared.

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

“Come on ！ Why are your messages twice as many as mine, and they are all praising you and praising you for your good clothes! Tomorrow in Detroit you've got a treat! ”

"No problem, as long as the coach agrees, let's have a big meal!" Li Ze immediately signaled that he was willing to pay.

"That's no fun!"

The teammates immediately laughed and complained, because the current team requirements, go to the away stadium and not eat food outside...

The atmosphere in the Kings locker room is not very good, and everyone was a fish belly team last season, how did it suddenly become like this?

Harden's mentality is good, garbage time is good, Martin has the ball on the court, and the data is also beautiful.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Li Ze also started the game, but the game had completely gone to the side of the Thunder, and the Kings' defense slipped again, and it could be seen that the other party was going to give up.

When the third quarter was five minutes into the game, the margin came to 22 points, the Kings called a timeout, replaced the main player, and the Thunder then pulled the main player, and the two sides went into garbage time.

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

Then, Harden's feelings came true, and Li Ze began to show off...

In the offensive round, Li Ze dribbled under his crotch continuously, suddenly started to accelerate, shook off the defense, faced the inside defense, pulled the rod with his left hand, and scored the ball.

Harden was upset.

In the offensive round, Li Ze received the ball with his back, turned directly into the inside line in the low post, resisted the defense of the center, and scored the ball with a backhand with his right hand.

Harden was in pain.

In the offensive round, Li Ze continuously changed direction in front of his body after crossing the dribble, directly shaking Harden, and after breaking through the defense, he took off directly.

The cover flashed in the air, and the one-arm violent buckle was successful!

Harden shouted in his heart, "Coach! I want to take a break! ”

The fans at Ford Center were completely caught in a frenzied shout, this is also too showy, this ball is really beautiful!

"Wonderful dunk! Crazy attack! Kayce is definitely the best rookie and I'm already in love with him! ”

Commentator Twin has been on fire this time, blowing a lot about Li Ze.

After more than 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, Li Ze was replaced, and Harden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Ze left the court, the audience gave warm cheers, and everyone was very satisfied with his performance.

In this game, he made 9 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got a double-double of 22 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

At the end of the game, 112-93, the Thunder defeated the Kings at home and won the first game of the new season.

Durant was 9-of-19 from three-point range, 1-of-3 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists.

Turtle Westbrook finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two turnovers on 7-of-15 shooting, 0-of-1 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws.

Li Ze, Turtle Turtle, and Durant accounted for half of the team's scores, and the other teammates basically played well, and the whole team hit hard!

After the game, Li Ze was warmly welcomed by the media, and he was directly surrounded by Hula, and the problem was still those clichés.

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

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

"The first game was a great one! Give yourself a score, how many do you think you can score? ”

Director Zhang's heart was surging in this game, and a player like Li Ze really didn't have it on the side of the Celestial Empire.

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

Director Zhang was a little speechless for a moment, good guy, this performance is a passing grade, you can't go to heaven with a full score!

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

"The ultimate goal is, of course, the championship, but now we have a small goal, to make the playoffs, to win in the playoffs."

Li Ze is also not polite, the target has to be blown or nagging.

"One last question, after this game, I believe that many fans of the Celestial Empire will pay attention to you, what do you want to say to the fans."

Director Zhang didn't ask some clichés anymore, and went straight to the dry goods.

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

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

"Yes, I'll help you canvass for votes when you go back, come on! Play with style! ”

Coach Zhang is also happy, Li Ze is indeed different from other young players, confident, optimistic, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

......

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

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

After midnight, after Li Ze entered the dream space, he simply checked the situation of the badge in the achievement room, and couldn't help but be satisfied.

"The regular season is good, a game can increase the experience of at least about 2 points, and promotion is just around the corner!"

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

"B+ grade energy drink, I'm really looking forward to its effect!"
