Perhaps because of the self-esteem of the All-Star players, Arenas beat Li Ze in a row on the offensive end for several rounds in the first quarter, but unfortunately, it had little effect, only 1 of 5 shots.

In the second half of the first quarter, when Arenas tried to attack again, his teammates stopped giving the ball, and veteran Antoine Jamison stepped up and carried the Wizards' offense.

Relying on the efficient play of other players, the Wizards barely maintained a single-digit point difference, 32-24, and the Thunder easily took an eight-point lead in the first quarter.

In the Sina studio, the host Ke Xiaofan sighed with embarrassment:

"Arenas' competitive form has declined dramatically this season, and the star players who were able to score points with Kobe Bryant back then are now playing like this, and the injuries are really terrible."

"The Wizards' backcourt and front line couldn't prevent the Thunder's offense, and in the first quarter of more than 6 minutes, the Thunder played four or five identical tactics in a row!"

"It's to catch the ball at 45 degrees on the left and right sides of the three-point line after covering, and one more player will stand in the bottom corner, and the remaining three will empty one side to form a local 2-on-2."

"But the Thunder's 2 to 2 are Li Ze and Durant, whether it is a simple hand-to-hand between the two, or an empty cut without the ball, or a personal single, these two Bang Bang are in, no one is useless to defend, it's really not good Durant still has a whistle!"

"Don't say that Arenas can't be defended, as far as the Lakers' defensive system is concerned, Artest was beaten by Durant and almost got 5 fouls out of the court, this talent is really amazing!"

After Yang Yi watched the first quarter of the game, he turned on the blowing mode again.

"It's true that as Mr. Yang said, but there is another important point, Westbrook's conversion offense is too powerful, and the Thunder can open up the difference, just rely on Westbrook's two transition offenses, and then play more and more smoothly."

"I feel like this game is going to take another moment, let's look forward to the play of both sides in the second quarter, and I hope the game will be more exciting."

The host Ke Xiaofan doesn't want to see too much garbage time in the game, and when Li Ze gets off the stage, then netizens will definitely turn off the computer...

Coach Brooks made a large rotation in the second quarter, starting only with Li Ze, Meno and Sofrosa in the backcourt, and Ibaka and Collison on the inside.

Coach Sanders made a short rotation, replacing Arenas and Jamison, replacing Nick Young and Blatche, with simple counter-substitutions, and the rest of the starters remained the same.

The Thunder team attacked, Li Ze noticed that the opposing defender was replaced by Nick Young, and he couldn't help but look a little weird, Hulk!

After doing a cross cover with Collison on the bottom line, Li Ze received a pass from Meno at the waist position, turned around after receiving the ball with his back, took his right foot as the axis, and quickly released the ball with his left hand to break through along the bottom line.

Heywood probably didn't expect Nick Young to be easily passed, and before he could step forward to help defend the position, he saw that Li Ze had already taken off, and his right hand was a one-arm buckle!

"Bang...", a breakthrough dunk is easily scored.

"It's really beautiful to catch the ball with his back to get rid of the defense, Li Ze played a bit of Jordan with this ball!"

The host Ke Xiaofan has begun to wonder if Yang Yi received Li Ze's red envelope, this is too good to blow, if it continues to blow like this, it will definitely be sprayed after the game!

The Wizards found that the Thunder's bench lineup outside defense was not bad, especially Soflosa, Li Ze, and Ibaka, and the defensive rotation cooperated tacitly, and it was difficult for the Wizards to get open opportunities.

Seeing that time was running out, Nick Young took the initiative to pick up the pot for the big man on the team, facing Soflosa's defense outside the three-point line and making a jumper.

"Bang...", he was angry.

The long rebound bounced directly into Li Ze's hand, and after controlling the ball, he accelerated with all his might, and Nick Young was very active in returning to defense, but unfortunately Li Ze suddenly took a European step in his march, easily shook off the defense, and steadily pushed the ball up.

"What a ball! The fast-moving European step layup, this technique is really amazing, this ball completely shows Li Ze's ability to control his body, amazing! ”

Yang Yi was amazed again, and the host Ke Xiaofan couldn't interject at all on the side.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder extended their lead again, and the difference came to 12 points.

In the second half of the second quarter, after the two sides changed their main forces, the point difference continued to widen, Durant's three-point shot was just scored, and the Wizards collapsed directly at halftime.

66-50, the Thunder team entered the second half with a 16-point lead, and there was no longer much suspense in the game.

"It's so boring, I even want to play a few more of our training games, are the Eastern teams so weak? Maybe if I come to the East, I'll get an All-Star start! ”

Although Durant scored a lot, he was not happy at this time, and he was depressed when he thought that the Thunder's record of No. 1 in the West could not help him get the status of an All-Star starter.

"Kevin, there's Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, LeBron James and Chris Bosh in the East, and it's hard to start an All-Star because you're still a rookie."

Jeff Green has another truth that Durant's heart.

"Green is right, Kevin, in fact, it's okay to be selected as an All-Star, and we'll help you get the scoring title this season, don't worry, you'll definitely get a max contract."

Turtle Turtle also spoke out to comfort Durant.

"Don't worry too much about the contract, Kevin, you should trust Kleiman's ability, the agent is responsible for negotiating the contract, you just need to play well!"

Li Ze knows why Durant has always cared about the All-Star, after all, his rookie contract will expire in July next year, and the next contract is related to tens of millions of dollars, and it is normal to feel anxious.

"Thanks, guys, I've been a little impatient lately, and when I sign a big contract, the spice girls can pick whatever they want, and I promise, I'll be sure to have a big party in the offseason!"

Durant breathed a sigh of relief and began to imagine his life with a big contract.

"Yay! Party！ ”

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, after the Wizards struggled for more than three minutes, they were completely flat, but Arenas continued to fight, after all, this is his home court, and as the star of the house, he naturally can't give up easily.

But it's a pity that he has been very poor recently, and after frequent ironing, the Thunder team has switched offenses in several waves in a row, and the difference has completely come to 20 points.

"Mr. Yang, do you think Arenas' performance can still be an All-Star? I took a look at the guard rankings in the East, and Arenas is currently in sixth place. ”

As soon as the host Ke Xiaofan saw that the game had been completely spent, he talked about the All-Star Weekend.

"I personally feel that it is difficult, the competition in the Eastern backcourt is also very fierce, Arenas can't compete with Wade, Carter, Ray Allen, and rookie Derrick Rose is also ranked fifth, Arenas should not have much hope."

Yang Yi told the truth that he thought Arenas was out of luck.

"Then let's talk about Li Ze's all-stars, the Thunder team is the first in the West, Li Ze's strength is also strong, Mr. Yang, do you think Li Ze can enter the all-stars?"

The host Ke Xiaofan asked another question that the majority of fans are concerned about.

"It's hard to say, if you really vote, then Li Ze will definitely be able to enter the All-Star, but the NBA league also talks about seniority, and the competition in the Western guard line is too fierce, and it is difficult for rookies to have a position, so I just said it casually! Let's just listen to it. ”

Yang Yi smiled and vaguely pointed out that there are unspoken rules for voting.

"Oops! We all understand, it's just a pity! The style of play of the Thunder trio is actually very suitable for the All-Star Game, this matter can't be studied in detail, let's continue to talk about the game! ”

The next game turned into a score battle, after Li Ze brushed to 20+4+7, he was replaced by Coach Brooks, and the Wizards have also withdrawn their troops, and the 4th quarter after that has also become garbage time.

In the end, 110-95, the Thunder easily defeated the Washington Wizards on the road, won eight in a row, and continued to lead the West.

A lot of the home fans have already left early, and there is no interest in watching such a game in garbage time.

The Thunder flew back to Russia overnight tonight, and after a day of rest, they will host the Jazz in their final game of 2009.

When Li Ze returned to the mansion in Russia, it was already the second half of the night, and the empty room made him miss the chaotic life of Christmas for a while.

"Two games, the [Dream Dance Steps] badge should be upgraded, I hope the second attribute can be more practical."

With such a thought, Li Ze collapsed on his big bed after a simple wash and slowly fell asleep.

In the dream training space, Li Ze exhaled out of the control panel, saw an upgrade prompt on the achievement room, and couldn't help but smile, and immediately entered the achievement room to check the attributes of the silver badge.

Achievement Badge [Dream Steps]: 2/500

Increases the chance of the defender shaking the defender by shaking the back feint, and increases the shooting percentage for a short time after shaking the defender.

Li Ze saw that the upgraded [Dream Dance Steps] and [Ankle Terminator] could improve the shooting rate in a short period of time, and he immediately breathed a long sigh of satisfaction, and muttered to himself:

"It's just right to play a few rounds of 1-on-1 with the simulated Durant, and test the bonus effect of the badge, it's too difficult to upgrade the silver badge!"

……

The results of the third phase of the All-Star voting are about to be announced, and at this time, most of the players who have the strength to compete for the All-Star starters will try their best to show themselves, even if the fans can't vote for the top two, the bench will have to fight.

The Western guard line is too rolled, and Deron Williams was in explosive form in December in order to be selected as an All-Star, especially after the emergence of Li Ze, a freak rookie, several old guards in the West are under great pressure, and no one wants to be squeezed down by Li Ze.

On December 31, in the away team's locker room, veteran coach Sloan was telling his players:

"Delon, control our offensive tempo, be patient, don't give the opponent a chance to switch offense, Carlos, be sure to protect our backcourt rebounds."

"Boys, we need to win this game, we're currently eighth in the West, we're going to play every game, keep our defensive intensity, stick to our defensive strategy, and get ready to play!"

In the Thunder locker room, Jeff Green was a little sad at this time, and whenever he met teams with strong interior lines, many media and ball critics began to criticize him after the game.

"Shit media, I swear, after this game, they will turn over those shit remarks from before, and every time they turn over and over again, it's those few words!"

Jeff Green, who had changed his clothes, was complaining about what happened to him at this time.

"I thought you were used to it, man, don't worry, we're going to win this game, no team can beat us twice in a row!"

Li Ze put on a big guy appearance and said with confidence.

"Russell, you've got to play well in this game and try to beat Deron Williams so you might be an All-Star."

Durant hopes that Li Ze and Turtle can enter the All-Star Game, and when the time comes, there are two people to assist him, and he may be able to win the All-Star MVP!

"We have a much better record than the Jazz, but the head coach is definitely not going to consider a sophomore rookie, and this year we can play the Rookie Challenge so that I can spend more time with Nina."

Turtle has never had any illusions, and he thinks it's good to go shopping in Dallas with his girlfriend.

"Yikes! You're hopeless, Russell! ”

"Come on, are you going to get married next year?"

Everyone in the Thunder Team, who was shown affection, suddenly exploded, and everyone frantically complained about the turtle...

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is New Year's Day today, and on January 1, as the All-Star Game is coming, the fans on the Tiger Fight Forum are also frantically discussing this topic, to be precise, discussing the ownership of the vote king.

"The NBA league is definitely operating in the dark, otherwise Li Ze will definitely be elected as the All-Star vote king, and with the number of fans we have, it will definitely blow up Amerika's side!"

"The NBA league on dog days, they don't count our votes at all, otherwise Da Yao, UAE, and Li Ze will be the stable all-star vote kings."

"That's right, Li Ze didn't perform well at all, and he supported Volute to win votes this year!"

"Don't show off the two devils upstairs, is Li Ze playing well? The Thunder are No. 1 in the West, and Li Ze, as a core guard, should be an All-Star. ”

"My Zhan is the vote king this year, this time Howard will definitely not be able to do it, support me Zhan to win the All-Star MVP!"

"It's in Dallas this year, it's Nowitzki's home stadium, don't the James have a brain?"

"Hehe, I, Zhan, will definitely be able to win the MVP with Wade's help when the time comes, no matter what home and away you are!"

"Hurry up, why doesn't Wade take the MVP himself? People don't wield knives, you hurry into the palace to serve the emperor, don't be disgusting on the forum. ”

"It's noisy again! With this kind of work, wouldn't it be good to vote for Li Ze a few more times? ”

Since the 1st is Friday, the Thunder team's game is still broadcast by Sina Sports, before the game, the host Ke Xiaofan and the guest Su Qun did not talk about the sensitive topic of all-stars, but simply analyzed the game.

"The last time the Thunder lost to the Jazz, Boozer almost blew up the Thunder's interior line, Mr. Su, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game?"

The host Ke Xiaofan threw out a decent question.

"I think the Thunder have a better chance of winning, the last time they lost was at the Jazz's home court, and the penalty is definitely in Jazz's favor, this time back to the Thunder's home court, the referee will never dare to blow it like that."

"I spent a few days in the city, and I really felt the enthusiasm of the city fans, the home court blowing scale is normal, the Jazz definitely can't limit the Thunder trio, Durant also won the best of the week last week, and he has been in hot form lately."

"The most important thing is that the Thunder team has a more tacit understanding, and at the same time, the mentality is also a lot better, as long as you play normally, you can win this game."

Su Qun is very optimistic about the current Thunder team, and the first place in the West is well deserved.

"Mr. Su is right, the blowing penalty at home is more friendly, many netizens are curious, what was the first impression of Li Ze when you interviewed in Russia before?"

"The first impression is that the young man is handsome, this is no joke, Li Ze is not only handsome, but also very confident, which is too rare!"

"The vast majority of players in the NBA are black, and if you want to be recognized by everyone, you have to be very good."

"It can be seen that Li Ze is very popular in the Thunder locker room, and everyone recognizes his strength, I hope everyone can vote for Li Ze more, he definitely deserves an All-Star position."

Originally, he didn't mention the all-star thing as planned, but Su Qun still couldn't hold back and began to pull up tickets for Li Ze again.

"I also hope that Li Ze can finally be selected as an All-Star, and the starting list ahead has come out."

"The Jazz have Delonway Lumes and CJ Myers in the starting backcourt, Ronnie Brewer and Carlos Boozer on the front, and Memet Oku at center."

"The Thunder are still in the regular rotation, and the director prompted that the game will start soon, and we will switch to the front first."

The host Ke Xiaofan didn't have time to introduce the Thunder team's starters, and the picture turned to the game scene.

Coach Brooks still attaches great importance to this game, he doesn't want the team to lose to the other side in a row, the Thunder's style of play has matured, so he is more of an encouragement before the game:

"The Jazz are going to keep the game very slow, let's not rush after the opening, Kayce, control the offensive tempo, be patient, the first quarter is very important, we have to set the tone of the game."

"Kevin, don't get too involved with the defenders, use the cover, play smart, and remember, this is our home field."

"Russell, the pick-and-roll must go to the line, follow Deron Williams, press him with his body, Green, Kostic, the backcourt rebound will be handed over to you, pay attention to the pass, we have to seize the opportunity to convert the offense, come on, boys!"

"Oh!! 10,000, spitting, crushing, and logging tired! ”

Ford Center Arena was still full tonight, it was the last game of 2009, all the Russian City fans hoped that the Thunder team could finish the game perfectly, many fans brought their own cheering slogans, entered the arena early, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

When the DJ introduced the home team's players, the huge sound in the stadium made Li Ze's ears buzz, and it wasn't until the final warm-up of the players on both sides that Li Ze felt that his hearing had completely recovered...

"I'm going to go all out when the game starts, I don't want to lose to the Jazz again, Kevin, give your best shape, don't be beaten by me."

When shooting to warm up, Li Ze smiled and teased Durant next to him.

"You lost to me in yesterday's training match, I've always been at my best, don't worry, I'll take you to win this match."

When Durant heard Li Ze's words, the corners of his mouth twitched at first, he thought of the last time Li Ze was called MVP at home, and then put on a boss posture, patted Li Ze's shoulder, and responded with a smile.

"I can't hold on a little anymore, Russell, can't the two of them relax? Now that the team training matches are getting more and more intense, you have to convince Kayce! ”

Jeff Green saw that Li Ze and Durant were secretly competing on the side again, and couldn't help but complain to the turtles around him, he missed the days of fishing in the first two years very much.

"I see everyone is very happy training, Green, we are the first in the West, we have to be a little more demanding of ourselves, you are also in the contract year, get more data, so that you can sign a big contract!"

“……”

You have a good point, Jeff Green is speechless, since the team training match was upgraded, he hasn't looked for a hot girl for a long time, and the iron rod is useless!

There was a lot of noise, and the referee had to raise his voice and signal for both players to come to the middle of the field, and Kostic and Oku were ready to jump the ball.

"At the start of the game, Kostic jumped to the ball for the Thunder and Westbrook dribbled quickly across the halfcourt."

The host Ke Xiaofan immediately devoted himself to the commentary of the game.

The Thunder played very patiently on the first offense, and after the turtle's high-post blocking tactics had no chance, Durant covered out to receive the ball, broke through Brewer's defense in an instant, and saw that Oku had recovered the basket, and then distributed the ball to Li Ze on the outside.

Li Ze received the ball at the top of the arc, shook it falsely, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, suddenly pulled back his crotch during the march, changed the rhythm, and after jamming Miles half of his body, he continued to kill the penalty area with the ball in his left hand.

Noticing that Oku came up again, he made a hidden pass with his left hand, instantly tearing the defense, and Kostic under the basket dunked his hands after receiving the ball!

"Bang..."

"Ahh Wow! ”

The Ford Center Arena erupted in loud cheers, and the dunk ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Li Ze's ball pass is so beautiful! The left-handed covert ball passes through between the two defenders, and the left and right hands are all-powerful! The lad is amazing! ”

Su Qun didn't go through the procedure, and immediately started blowing, the host Ke Xiaofan was a little confused, how could the guests in these two episodes be like this, it's really easy to attract black people if they blow too much...

The Thunder chose to open the game with a breakaway ball, and although the tactics were old-fashioned, the effect was very good, after all, Oku alone could not complete the rim work.

Deron Williams slowly dribbled through the half, Boozer immediately stepped up to block and dismantle, and the turtle quickly squeezed through the cover on the line, constantly giving Deron Williams physical confrontation on his side.

Noticing that the block was not successful, Myers immediately went over to catch the ball and was ready to make a transition, but just when he wanted to pass the ball again after receiving the ball, Li Ze's defense grabbed very big, saw the right time, and cut the ball off.

After stealing the ball away, Li Ze accelerated with all his might, hit 0 in the front court, jumped with both feet after rushing to the penalty area, turned 360 degrees in the air, and dunked with one hand!

"Bang...", steal and dunk easily.

"Oh!!"

"Wow!"

The audience at the scene saw Li Ze stretching in the air to complete the turn, and after the easy dunk was successful, they immediately shouted excitedly, this is also too showy!

Li Ze raised his hands while retreating, signaling the fans at the scene to get up, and at the same time smiled in his heart:

"With such an intensity of confrontation, the referee really won't blow the penalty, the home whistle is still very useful, and the Jazz team can also experience no fouls!"
