Chapter 083: 15 points in a single quarter

The Orlando Magic, which reached the finals last year, was completely suppressed by the Thunder in the first quarter, which was something that many fans at the scene did not expect.

28-22, the Thunder led by 6 points in the first quarter, the score is not very important, the important thing is the performance on the court, Howard is like a tiger in a cage, he can't make it out...

"We have a big round of applause for Coach Brooks and the entire coaching staff, they were very successful in this game!"

Home commentator Tewyn knew that the Thunder could take the lead, and this excellent tactical system played a huge role.

During the intermission, Brooks head coach told Li Ze:

"Kayce, play aggressively, take advantage of the opportunity to switch attacks, and have a strong shot when you have the chance,"

"I understand, Coach." Li Ze immediately nodded.

The coaching staff on the Magic's side naturally studied the Thunder's bench lineup, so at the beginning of the second quarter, they used defensive tough guy Matt Barnes to mark Li Ze.

The Magic bench is Jason Williams and J.J. Redick in the backcourt, Barnes and Michael Petrus at the front, and Marcin Gortat at center.

Although this lineup suffers from height, Van Gundy is mainly for offense, Gortat is grabbing inside, and all four have three-pointers on the outside, and the offensive space is very good.

The Thunder are still the same, with Li Ze and Sofloza partnering in the backcourt, and Itang Thomas, Ibaka and Nick Collison on the front.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ze slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, and after glancing at the lineup of the Magic team, he immediately gave a gesture to his teammates, and Collison stepped up to catch the ball.

Li Ze was in the low post through the cover of his teammates, and Matt Barnes has been giving Li Ze a physical confrontation, trying to push him out and not let Li Ze go too deep.

But the Thunder team's side cooperated tacitly, Li Ze's side was just in a good position, and Soflosa directly hoisted the ball to Li Ze.

After getting the ball, he directly made a triple threat, and seeing that Matt Barnes in front of him was not shaken, Li Ze quickly released the ball, accelerated the breakthrough with his right hand dribble, and suddenly pulled back under his hips, and at the same time made a feint to close the ball.

This sudden pause made Matt Barnes couldn't help but step forward to defend, but Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with his left hand dribble again, successfully jammed the opponent's half of the body, and dribbled to a two-step jump shot.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

The offensive badge brings Li Ze a lot of bonuses, and [Master of Ball Control] + [Master of Emergency Stop] is very effective for breaking through defense.

Williams, who came on as a substitute, was a little sad to see Li Ze's performance, are the young people so good now...

White chocolate is no longer as brave as it used to be, a year after retiring, he came to the Magic team after his comeback, and he played well in the first few games, but he felt cold in this game...

The Thunder were man-to-man on defense, and Li Ze continued to chase Redick, determined not to let the shooter find a shooting feeling.

However, the Magic's outside moves quickly, Williams blocks and pulls the ball, and Matt Bars hits a three-pointer from the outside.

Van Gundy was also relieved to see the goal off the field, and if he didn't score, the point difference would be in double digits.

As soon as Li Ze received the ball, Matt Barnes's side immediately came up to entangle, as if he wanted to hit Li Ze by surprise.

But it's a pity that this kind of pressing defense has little effect on Li Ze, and after continuous physical confrontations, Matt Barnes found that Li Ze still controlled the ball steadily...

After half the court, seeing that the opponent was still on guard, Li Ze first protected the ball with his back, twisted his upper body to the right, and at the same time made a feint with his left hand, and then quickly held the ball with his right hand, and the center of gravity of his body dropped and accelerated directly.

Matt Barnes quickly adjusted his center of gravity after being shaken, but Li Ze dribbled the ball under his crotch again, and then quickly pulled back, and completely shook the opponent in a hurry.

Step back jumper, direct shot from beyond the 3-point line.

The 3-pointer hit steadily.

"Oh!! Wow!! โ€

This electric crossover made the audience at Ford Center Arena addicted to watching.

As soon as Durant saw Matt Barnes defending so closely, he knew that Li Ze would definitely pass the opponent, and after seeing this fancy passing goal, he directly shouted exaggerated on the bench.

This atmosphere is very well placed...

Van Gundy saw this scene off the field and immediately felt that this game was difficult, and if the offense could not be scored again, this game would be completely explained.

Fortunately, in the following time, the outside of the Magic team continued to fire, and everyone scored except for Redick, who was still very iron.

Gortat continued to rush for frontcourt rebounds, which also limited the Thunder's transition offense, but the score still couldn't be narrowed, because Li Ze was full of firepower.

In the low post, in the face of Barnes's defense, he directly turned over and made a backward jumper.

After blocking and dismantling, he faced Petrus's defense, accelerated the dribble with his right hand, and made a direct drift jump shot.

After his teammates continued to cover without the ball, Li Ze received the ball and directly hit Redick, entered the penalty area from the bottom line, faced Gortat's block, pulled the lever in the air, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

Just over 3 minutes into the second quarter, Li Ze had already scored 11 points, and he withstood the outside counterattack of the Magic team alone.

"It's incredible, Kayce has completely broken through the Magic's defense, and God, is this really a rookie?"

The commentator Twin was stunned by Li Ze's performance, this is also too strong, so strong that he called God...

After scoring consecutive goals, Li Ze still looked calm, after all, it is appropriate to play such an attack in the face of the defense of these role players.

The bonus of the badge is basically useless in the face of superstar players, but playing this level of defense, it is really easy and stress-free, after all, Li Ze crushed the opponent in terms of physical condition.

Van Gundy began to rant loudly on the sidelines again, signaling his teammates to step up their defenses.

After Gortat couldn't put the basket in, Ibaka accepted the rebound and passed it to Li Ze, and just after halftime, Li Ze found that the Magic team began to pinch him.

"As for it? Come here again, I'm still a rookie..."Li Ze handed over the ball in desperation.

After a couple of passes, Collison scored the ball under the basket, and the bag naturally paid the price.

But that's the strategy on the Magic's side, and Matt Barnes and Gortat took turns to come up and trash talk to Lee.

"Rookie, keep up your offensive performance, keep up your fancy dribble, you won't score another goal under our defense!"

Matt Barnes chattered in Li Ze's ear, and when Gortat came up to block the dismantling, he directly bumped Li Ze.

"Boy, go home and drink milk, this is a man is a sport, put away your fancy dribbling moves."

Gortat's side also started to make trouble, and after the referee blew for a foul, the guy was still screaming.

Li Ze looked helpless, the tool man should be a little conscious, what is the point of coming to him to find a sense of existence...

After Matt Barnes made a foul and stood on the free throw line, he had to look at Li Ze proudly, and then he hit 1 of 2 free throws and pulled his hips, which made Li Ze laugh directly.

"Man, you should practice your free throws, and the next time you load X, remember that both free throws will work better!"

While dribbling the ball, Li Ze said to Matt Barnes, who was defending himself closely, and the latter immediately increased his physical confrontation in anger when he heard this.

This time, Li Ze didn't call the block and dismantle, after half the court, he continued to dribble behind his back, and suddenly dribbled under his crotch in his right hand and changed direction in front of his body, and this large change of direction directly shook off Matt Barnes, who was close to the defense.

After throwing off the defense, the straight line accelerated, Li Ze's breakthrough was too fast, Gortat just came over to help defend and wanted to jump up to block, Li Ze didn't dodge, jumped with both feet, and his body bent in the air to accumulate strength.

Facing Gortat's defense, a powerful one-armed tomahawk slam buckle!

"Bang..."

Gortat was directly smashed by Li Ze, and the ball flew in!

After landing on the ground, Li Ze didn't celebrate too much, and shouted loudly while shaking his head:

โ€œSoft๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ€

This one word made the Magic team collectively break the defense, and Hula wanted to surround Li Ze, but all the teammates on the Thunder team's side came up and pushed the other party away, and the two sides immediately pushed each other.

The referee saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate the crowd.

The audience at the scene was already excited when they saw Li Ze's slap, and when they saw that the magic team still wanted to fight, they immediately became excited and began to scold each other.

"God, Kayce smashed Gortat, it's definitely the best goal of the day, haha, it looks like the Magic side has been rushed, they lost this game."

Commentator Twin was already completely hilarious at this time, and directly announced the victory of the Thunder team...

When the game continued, Matt Barnes and Gortat stopped talking, but the movements on both sides gradually increased, and the referee's whistle was frequently remembered.

Li Ze was also not polite, knowing that the opponent's fouls were counted, he directly broke through to make a kill and walked to the free throw line.

After hitting both free throws, Li Ze looked at Matt Barnes with a smile on his face, then shrugged his shoulders playfully and slowly began to retreat.

Maybe it was broken by Li Ze, the Magic team began to hit iron again and again, and the Thunder team seized the opportunity and played a wave of 6-0 in more than 2 minutes, and the difference came to 14 points.

Van Gundy called a timeout again, he knew in his heart that this game was basically gone, and the thought of Jamil Nelson being targeted after he came on the court almost went straight to the water cooler to admit defeat.

Li Ze was also replaced, and his 15-point performance in a single quarter made the turtle already watch the blood boiling on the sidelines.

"Well done, Kayce, I said you had to dunk a few more and look at the audience, they love it!"

The turtle screamed excitedly, and his teammates couldn't wait to play.

Li Ze smiled and greeted everyone with a fist, but secretly sighed in his heart, he couldn't brush too much badge experience!

"The overall situation of the game has been decided, the gods of war are attacking hard, and the second half is the rhythm of three quarters... This game is a bit of a loss! โ€
