Winning can mask a lot of problems, but as soon as you lose, those problems come to an explosion, and by halftime, Howard had no smile on his face and was on the verge of exploding.

Playing away from home against a team from last year's fish belly, no one would have expected such a thing to happen, 40-56 at halftime, 16 points behind the opponent.

Especially after coming on the court in the second quarter, Howard couldn't catch the ball, and could only watch his teammates play iron on the outside, and the long rebound popped up, and he was frantically counterattacked by the Thunder.

The turtle has become a sieve for Jamil Nelson, but it's hard for everyone to talk about it, and the locker room is also about seniority.

Although Jamil Nelson forced a comeback in last year's Finals, although he didn't play well, Howard and his teammates didn't blame him.

When Coach Van Gundy saw the silent locker room, he could only give the big guy some chicken soup for the soul, at this time it was useless to say any tactics, and it was good if the players didn't blame each other!

"I really hope Vince Carter's arrival will solve the team's problems, and hopefully we didn't make the wrong choice with this deal..."

Van Gundy could only pray silently in his heart.

In contrast, the Thunder's locker room was full of laughter and smiles on everyone's faces, and it felt really great to win against a team that made it to the Finals last season!

"Alright guys, I'm announcing one thing, I'm going to give my beloved necklace to Kayce, his dunk is so cool!"

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

"Wow! Bro, I like this necklace very much, but it's a little too heavy, so you can consider making it a little more detailed next time. ”

Li Ze directly felt his neck sinking, good guy, wearing this thing every day can definitely exercise the neck muscles...

"No, no, no, Kayce, the gold chain, it's all about the thicker the better, I promise, wearing this necklace, the nightclub chick will fall in love with you!"

Jeff Green kept bragging about his glorious record as he spoke.

Li Ze saw that everyone started to brag and fart again, and he smiled slightly in his heart, the taste of winning is indeed wonderful!

At halftime, the crowd at Ford Center Arena was also very happy, the current home record is all wins, and today's game is almost won, although the ticket has risen a little, but to see such a game, it is not a loss!

The home commentator, Tewyn, began to complain about the NBA league:

"The league really should add some of the Thunder's national streams, our lads are fantastic, they deserve more attention!"

In fact, this matter has begun to be coordinated on the NBA side, and the broadcast issues on the Celestial Empire's side are also being communicated, after all, who would have thought that last season's 23-win swing team would counterattack this season...

The Celestial Empire balls on the other side of the ocean also began to complain about the broadcast, it was too difficult to watch Li Ze's game, and the resources they found were vague and stuck, and there was no experience of watching the game.

"Brothers, today I watched the game in Russia, Li Ze's performance exploded, my TM voice was hoarse, I fought for an autograph after the game, Li Ze is really too handsome!"

"I envy you for being able to watch the game live, what is the atmosphere in Russia, there is no broadcast today, I can only watch the text live broadcast in Hupu, it's too embarrassing!"

"It's very hot, especially Li Ze's dunk of Gortat's ball, which was directly fried on the spot, and everyone around me shouted wildly."

At present, there are already some international students or Chinese who have come to watch Li Ze play on the spot, and the ticket price of the home stadium in Russia is not expensive, so it is a game to come and watch a game.

Fans of the Celestial Empire have often seen Li Ze on the top ten balls recently, but the more they watch the highlights, the more they feel that they are not enjoyable, after all, there is no place to watch the ball!

At present, Li Ze's fans can only post in various post-game news and have a good time.

"When the landlord signs it, remember to come back and post it, in the interview video I watched Director Zhang before, Li Ze is also too handsome, this time let's see what the real person looks like!"

"Agreed, sit back and wait for the landlord to see the picture after the game, no picture and no truth!"

......

After the start of the third quarter of the game, both sides got back the main lineup, and after Li Ze came on the court, he found that the players on the Magic team's side were not very interested, and the offense was also playing at will.

A group of people watched Howard chisel hard inside and no one ran, the players all stood still, Li Ze saw this situation, and knew that there was basically no suspense in this game.

After Howard's strong shot, the Thunder quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, still playing the cover of the line, and passing the ball with consecutive hands-on.

Durant covered by Kostic's pick-and-roll and dribbled to a mid-range pullup jumper.

"Whew..."2 points scored easily.

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

In the next game, the defense on both sides gradually disappeared, and the scene was very lively, but the score difference still couldn't be narrowed, and Li Ze was not interested anymore.

Fortunately, this did not affect the trend of the game, and with more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Magic team took a timeout and replaced their own water cooler players, and then, the Thunder also removed the main force.

The fourth quarter was quickly over, and the Thunder defeated the Orlando Magic 110-82.

The Thunder's players off the bench don't let up and show themselves in the limited time they have.

Therefore, sometimes the big score loss is not caused by the main lineup, after all, the substitute players want data, no one tells you anything about the world, data is a beautiful knife...

Li Ze was 8 of 12 in this game, 2 of 4 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.

Durant was 9-of-14 from the field, 1-of-2 from 3-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line for 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover, while Turtle was 8-of-12 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 turnovers.

These two hit hard in the third quarter, and the data is also a lot better, basically the Thunder team currently Li Ze, Turtle Turtle, and Durant As long as the three of them feel online, the game is easy to play, and the Big Three have 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 here.

"Kayce, over here! This way! A bunch of white girls shouted frantically at Li Ze.

"Don't worry, I'll sign before leaving, don't worry!" Li Ze saw a few girls competing for me, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Kayce, do you still release singles for Christmas? I love Ling's songs so much, you play so well, God, I really love you so much! ”

This broad-minded brown-haired girl kept throwing herself on Li Ze, and when the others saw this situation, they suddenly became energetic, you hold your arm, I hug my waist, anyway, it's just touching, it's not a loss to touch!

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

"It's okay, it's okay! Let's take a group photo together, sorry it's late today, so we can't take a group photo alone! ”

Li Ze hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a group photo, this girl is too enthusiastic and it's not good...

As soon as everyone heard the group photo, Hula directly surrounded Li Ze, and the bold girl pounced directly on Li Ze.

Li Ze was surrounded by a large number of girls, and found a compatriot dressed as a student standing outside in a daze, so he hurriedly greeted:

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

When he heard this, the young man was excited, but when he saw that Li Ze was crowded with sister papers, he had no choice but to stand behind, and 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, and Li Ze has also made an appointment with the bearded golfer to meet tomorrow and go home early tonight.

"Harden must be a good guy, the Kings sent most of the old guys away, this is to develop his rhythm with all his might!"

On the way home, Li Ze was listening to music while thinking about Harden's situation, and Harden's data with the ball had already risen.

In the previous game between the Kings and the Jazz, Harden was 7-of-15, 2-of-3 from 3-point range, 16-of-19 from the free-throw line, and exploded with 32 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

However, the Jazz media sprayed Harden's free throws, believing that the referees ruined their victory, and the game was also very much discussed on America's side, after all, it was a bit of a lot.

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

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

Durant said he saw the news as he drew a card.

"Howard shouldn't be that stupid, he definitely wouldn't say such a thing publicly, Kevin, watch less Twitter news, there are more and more outrageous reports now!"

Li Ze estimated that maybe Howard had talked about it behind his back, but he was caught by the media with pigtails, and it became the current news with oil and vinegar.

"If you say bad things about a coach in college, a player is going to sit on the bench, but maybe it's different in the NBA, after all, Howard is a superstar!"

The turtle looked intently at the cards in his hand and complained casually.

"The management doesn't indulge the players, and if the star players' demands are met, then the league is in chaos! Wow, I had so much luck today! ”

Jeff Green expressed his opinion with a red face.

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

Li Ze looked at his bad cards and was powerless to complain in his heart...

"No! We all love Texas Hold'em! ”

......

Arrived in Sacramento City, after putting his luggage at the hotel, Li Ze went directly to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Harden to have lunch by the way.

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

Harden immediately laughed when he saw the image of Li Ze jeans, a white T-shirt, and a big gold chain hanging around his neck.

"Come on, it's better to be a little thinner, this is a gift from Jeff Green, I personally prefer a lighter one." After Li Ze sat down, he shrugged helplessly.

"Looks like you're having a good time with the Thunder, triple-double, God, it's incredible!" Harden was the first to enter the business blowing mode.

"That's just a boring record, you guys have 32 points, the highest score of this rookie, the media on Twitter the other day was talking about you!"

After Li Ze took a sip of water, he also started blowing directly, in terms of business blowing each other, he is definitely the first person in the alliance!

"Come on, because of that game, I was scolded badly, especially the Jazz fans, who were crazy about Farker me that day in addition to scolding the referee..."

Harden was also a little depressed when he mentioned this, after all, he was still a rookie, and he really hadn't seen this face.

"Anyway, in the end you win the game, that's how you score, the referee allows it, there's nothing wrong with free throws, but remember to pay attention to the penalty scale, it's not a good thing to rely too much on free throws."

Li Ze has no prejudice against making fouls, free throws are okay, but this is just a means of scoring, and the real superstar still relies on hard power.

"Of course, make fouls, test the referee, I learned from you at the earliest, in high school, Thompson was kicked off the court by me once, think about it and I'm happy!"

Speaking of his high school past, Harden suddenly felt better, picked up the juice and began to tons and tons.

"yes, Clay was mad at that game, and you laughed at his dribbling, when you two almost got into a fight!"

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

"It turns out that his dribbling skills are just not good, which is the same as his aesthetic vision, Kayce, I have a chance to take you to the best court here in Sacramento, I guarantee to make you feel good!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Harden suddenly came to his senses and talked to Li Ze about his exploration results in the past few months.

Li Ze listened and smiled in his heart:

"The bearded golfer is still the same as he was in high school, which is a good feeling!"

......

On the night of the 10th, the atmosphere in the ARCO arena was very hot, and although the team traded the veterans of the past, the current winning streak also gave the fans a lot of confidence.

In particular, James Harden's performance has won the love of many local fans, and the beard on that face has also become Harden's trademark.

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

During the pre-game warm-up, Turtle Turtle couldn't help but sigh when he saw the personnel of the Kings team.

"They really have a chance to beat the Lakers, but it's a pity that O'Neal's dominance on the interior is too strong, incredible athleticism."

Durant shoots while reminiscing about the game.

"I hope the Kings will rise later, the Western Conference playoffs are too competitive, and I kind of envy the teams in the East."

Li Ze complained about the west while moving his body.

"Hehe, we're the number one in the league now, I'm happy when I think about it, no one is optimistic about us before the game!"

Li Ze listened to the turtle and turtle start to poison himself, and suddenly his face was strange, and he sighed in his heart:

"If you meet the Lakers with neat personnel, it is estimated that the game will be explained with a high probability, and I hope that when the wind is headwind, you will not enter the iron flower mode..."

As the game was about to begin, the Kings' home DJ was whining and introducing players to the game, and when Harden appeared, the crowd cheered him on.

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, hugged Li Ze before the game, and made two sentences:

"Kayce, I'm going to give it my all in today's game, don't blame me for losing."

"Bro, it's been a long time since you've beaten me, don't worry, I'll give you water when the time is right!" Li Ze smiled and patted Harden on the shoulder and turned to leave.

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

On the Kings' side, the starting guards are James Harden and Benno Udri, the fronts 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's side, Turtle and Li Ze are still partners in the backcourt, with Durant and Jeff Green forming a forward line, and center Kostic.

"It's officially on, well done, boy, Hawes managed to jump to the ball!"

The Kings' home commentator was also immediately on the game.

Li Ze looked at the bearded golfer who had dribbled past half the court, and smiled in his heart:

"It's a brother, I have to guard against you! I hope you won't complain after the game that I'm too ruthless! ”
