On January 16th, Durant received his good brother Michael Beasley at his home in Russian City, and the Thunder will face the Heat at home tonight.

"Wow! Bro, All-Star, Scoring Champion, MVP, You're going to make a lot of money! Wanda will be proud of you, our childhood dream is about to come true! ”

"MOM misses you very much, she always misses the old days now, every time she entertains friends, she still cooks by herself, you can also help me persuade her, we have money, a lot of beautiful knives, I feel like I can't spend it in my life!"

Durant began to remember the bittersweet feelings, and I have to say that the arrival of his good brother Beasley eased the anxiety in his heart.

"Come on, Kevin, didn't you watch those media reports again? Those reporters and ball critics don't know anything about basketball, they haven't even shot off the court, don't care about their shit! ”

Beasley saw Durant's constipated expression, and then thought about the media that had nothing to do these days to criticize Durant's MVP for not being worthy of his name, and immediately knew that his brother was affected by the media's remarks.

"Fack! I'm really hard to understand, do those guys really understand the ball? There's even talk on the show that high scoring hurts the team, and a lot of fans really believe it, these damn media, they just don't want to see me on the All-Star starter. ”

Durant never expected that after he entered the MVP candidate list, his attention did increase, but he was hacked even more.

In fact, this is the usual trick of Amerika media, the comparison between MVP candidates, the discussion of All-Star starters, recently, everyone is crazy chasing these two hot spots, no one reads the praise, only nonsense will cause controversy among fans.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be reading any tweets and news reports at all, so many chicks are waiting for you, why should you pay attention to those old men who talk gibberish every day, Kevin, you're going to be an All-Star player in a hurry, to hell with those boring reports!"

Beasley lay on the couch, comfortably eating a snack and comfortably comforting his good brother.

"I know, I know, but why do they always like to compliment Kayce, everybody likes the way he plays, I don't think he's a lot better than me!"

If it's just random criticism, Durant doesn't really care, but this matter is afraid of comparison, he thinks he is the core of the Thunder team, the team's top scorer, but he lost to Li Ze off the court, which makes him a little difficult to accept.

"Ahem,......, don't think about all this boring stuff, Bro, Wanda should have lunch ready, I can't wait, let's go, Kevin!"

Beasley was a little speechless, because Li Ze did play very well, and the other party really revitalized the Thunder's offense, but he couldn't say anything about it, so he could only quickly change the topic.

"OK, I hope those shit media don't hack me a few words!"

......

At the end of the Thunder team's training session in the afternoon, everyone found that Li Ze seemed to have become a little stronger again, especially the connection of receiving the ball with his back and turning around to break through, and his movements were more fluid than before.

Coach Brooks also noticed this, Li Ze faced Soflosa's defense, received the ball with his back on the right side of the waist, turned around, deftly wiped the defense, easily layup, and sent the ball to the basket.

"Kayce, you guy has come up with some new tricks, I really envy you for being able to hold the ball with your left and right hands, I've practiced for many years, and my left hand is still as hard as wood!"

Immediately after the end of training, Soflosa sent a lap fart.

"I'm not even close! However, I do have a lot of experience in back body technique, if you are interested, you can ask me for advice at any time, my training is much cheaper than Olajuwon. ”

In the face of praise, Li Ze also made jokes, and after losing to the Spurs and Mavericks in a row, Li Ze received another bronze achievement badge.

Achievement Badge [Master of the Sinking Steps]: 5/500

Increase the success rate of low turns and reduce the chance of dropping the ball when turning.

This is a dual-attribute badge, the effect is simple and practical, with [Dream Dance Steps], the combination of the two has a very good bonus effect, Li Ze has been adjusting his back movements for the past two days, and he has almost adapted to it.

"Okay, boys, Kostic is back from injury tonight, I hope we can give the Russian fans a victory, come on! We're almost past a tough time for the team, and Green will be playing by the end of the month! ”

Coach Brooks announced good news for the medical team, and he doesn't want back-to-back losses to hurt the team's morale.

"Great! The Lakers didn't overtake us, we still have a chance, haha, maybe the other side will continue to lose! ”

With 31 wins and 8 losses, the Thunder and Lakers are currently winning the same game, which must be thanks to the Spurs, otherwise the Lakers have rushed to the first place in the West at this time.

"I love playing against the Heat, I didn't expect them to trade to Alston, and honestly, I love that matchup!"

During the break, Turtle said with a smile that he just likes to play small guards.

"It always feels like the Heat's perimeter defense has gotten worse after the trade, but that's really good news for us, Beasley's defense is still so casual, Shet, I knew he wasn't going to listen to me."

When he is home alone, Durant will show some distress, but as soon as he comes to the team, he will immediately put on a big look, after all, the team boss can't be dropped.

"Don't let the water out, Kevin, I'm kind of looking forward to your performance at night."

Li Ze teased Durant with a smile, he estimated that the opponent would definitely punch his good brother again tonight, after all, Beasley was a hole in the Heat's outside defense.

"It's good for him to lose, if you want to play in the league, you have to be able to get by defensively, I've told him many times, but unfortunately it didn't work every time."

Durant shrugged helplessly, he was worried that his good brother would really be abandoned by the team after the end of his contract.

"Okay, guys, let's not talk about that, when I get back from injury at the end of the month, I'm going to have a big party, I've met a lot of Mexican girls lately, God, they're really welcoming!"

Jeff Green suffered a shoulder injury, but that won't stop him from wielding the iron rod.

"Maybe they're all passionate about millionaires, man, you know, stay safe!"

"Oh!!" "Haha, Kayce is right, don't get caught up, Green!"

......

On January 17th, it was a Sunday in the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, and CCTV finally broadcast the Thunder team game again, which made many fans rejoice, and finally they didn't have to watch Sina Sports' Caton live broadcast.

In the CCTV studio, host Yang Jian and guest Zhang Weiping were discussing the topic of the Thunder team's loss.

"After the Thunder lost to the Spurs and Mavericks in a row, the winning advantage is gone, but fortunately, Kostic is back from injury in this game, Coach Zhang, which team are you more optimistic about in this game?"

The host, Yang Jian, threw out the topic as usual.

"The Heat are currently 20-18 and in seventh place in the East, and the team has traded Alston at the moment, but I don't think that will help the Heat's perimeter defense."

"In this game, after Kostic's comeback, Ibaka's defense can also be much easier, plus the trio on the outside, playing at home, I am still more optimistic about the Thunder."

Halfway through the regular season, Zhang Weiping has completely understood the tactical play of the Thunder team, and he believes that the Heat team's big and four small teams can't limit the Thunder team at all.

"Indeed, as Coach Zhang said, the Heat's deal is a little confusing, and I hope they can play a magical chemistry, the starting list ahead has come out, and Coach Spo really let Alstom start."

"The Heat have Ralph Alston and Dwyane Wade in their starting backcourt, Quentin Richardson and Michael Beasley at front, and Jermaine O'Neal at center."

"The Thunder backcourt is still Russell Westbrook and Li Ze, with Kevin Durant and Sergi Ibaka at the front and Nenard Kostic at center."

Host Yang Jian briefly introduced the starting lists of both sides before the game.

"Let's take a look at the Heat's perimeter defense and see what changes Alston has brought to the Heat after he joins the team."

"Another one today is Wade and Li Ze against each other, the last time they met, Li Ze was completely restricted, everyone can also look forward to Li Ze's performance in this game"

Director Zhang happily recommended the highlights of the game, and he himself was especially looking forward to the confrontation between Li Ze and Wade.

"Thanks to Director Zhang's comment, the game will start immediately, and we will switch the screen to the game scene in front."

In the players' tunnel, everyone on the Heat team, feeling the hot atmosphere of the Ford Center arena, couldn't help but look at each other a little, when they came to play here last year, the scene was not like this.

"I didn't expect the fans to be so enthusiastic, God, I feel the roar in my ears."

After seeing Durant play, the scene erupted in a tsunami-like cheer, Beasley secretly just got a lemon, it seems that his good brother is indeed going to be developed.

"Don't envy each other, when we win the championship, the fans in Miami will be more enthusiastic!"

Wade looked calm, after all, he had won the championship, participated in the championship parade, and he had seen more enthusiastic scenes than this, but when he saw his teammates around him, Wade couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart:

"I always feel that the future of this season is not bright..."

Before the start of the game, the two sides had a final warm-up, and Li Ze couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw Alstom wearing a heat jersey, maybe the street ball king would say goodbye to the NBA league after playing this season.

The referee motioned for everyone to come to the center of the field, and the players on both sides gave a brief greeting, Wade smiled at Li Ze next to him and said:

"Ready? You'd be hard-pressed to score easily with me! ”

"I'm used to the NBA, you can't limit me, Bro!"

Li Ze replied with a relaxed expression, and at this time he had to blow and chat.

"At the start of the game, O'Neal Jr. jumped possession for the Heat, and Alston dribbled quickly across the halfcourt."

In the CCTV studio, the host Yang Jian also began to devote himself to the commentary of the game.

The Heat's first attack, O'Neal Jr. lifted up to block and dismantle, Alston broke through on the left side, the turtle quickly squeezed through the cover, felt the defensive pressure on his side, Alston did not stick to the ball, and quickly passed the ball to O'Neal Jr. who went down.

After the latter received the ball, he wanted to use his body to carry the defending Kostic, but he failed to do so, and in desperation, O'Neal Jr. turned around and closed the ball and quickly hooked his shot.

"Bang...", he was angry.

After the backcourt rebound was protected by Ibaka, it was immediately passed to Li Ze next to him, and the Thunder pushed the transition offense.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze noticed that the turtle and Durant had already rushed through the halfcourt, and the Heat's retreat was also very fast, with 3 to 2 in the frontcourt, and Durant took the initiative to run to the bottom corner to open up space.

Li Ze in the march, with a flick of his left wrist, a feint of passing, the basketball bounced to the floor and quickly returned to Li Ze's hand, which shook Alstom for a moment.

Li Ze seized this opportunity and threw the ball directly to the basket, and the turtle who understood it had already taken off, and smashed the ball into the basket after receiving the ball with both hands!

"Bang...", the empty catch was slammed.

"Wow!!"

The Thunder's signature transition offense kicked off in the opening game, and the crowd at Ford Center was filled with jubilation.

"The Heat's retreat is a bit of a problem, and the opening let the Thunder team play a transition offense, which is not a good signal, Li Ze's ability to control the movement in this movement is really powerful, and the feint just now is so beautiful!"

After the host Yang Jian praised Li Ze, he had an ominous premonition in his heart that this game might take place.

The Heat quickly sent the baseline ball, and after Alston dribbled through the halfcourt, he immediately handed the ball to Wade, who did not immediately start attacking after receiving the ball, but directed his teammates to settle down and continuously pass the ball from the outside.

In the end, Alston took advantage of O'Neal Jr.'s block and shot a mid-range jumper.

"Bang...", iron.

After getting the long rebound Durant, he immediately found Li Ze with a pass, and noticed that Wade quickly pounced, and Li Ze made an accurate long pass to the accelerated turtle, who received the ball, like a small train, and rushed towards the opponent's half.

Alstom, who had a thin body, stumbled after confronting the turtle and turtle, and could only watch the turtle and turtle stage a one-arm violent buckle!

"Bang...", the hand that changed the dunk.

The two switching offenses ended with a dunk, and the turtle's emotions were completely mobilized, and the defense began to desperately chase Alstom, and when he saw that the team couldn't open the situation, Wade stepped forward again.

After receiving the ball, Wade broke through with a cross step, stopped and pulled back, faced Li Ze's defense, and stepped back to shoot a jumper.

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

Li Ze is not discouraged, this is the ability of a superstar, he still scores goals against defense, Wade took less than 5 seconds from receiving the ball to shooting, such an offensive rhythm is worth learning from him.

In the next game, Durant began to punch hard, and in the face of the Thunder's double-cover tactics, Beasley's switch defense was always half a beat slower, which made Durant easy to receive the ball and shoot calmly.

Seeing that the Thunder played the same tactic three times in a row, Durant made all 3 shots, and Coach Spo couldn't bear it anymore and directly asked for a timeout.

On the bench of the Thunder team, everyone looked relaxed, this is their rhythm of the game, the quick transition offense, the quick shot after the off-ball cover, and the opening game was all played.

"You can see, Kevin, you really don't show mercy to your men, Beasley may be going to be replaced."

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and teased Durant, he really didn't expect that the same tactic would be successful after three fights...

"If I were the manager, I would have replaced him, this guy is so poor in defensive attention, I reminded him at lunchtime, and it turned out again!"

Durant is also a little depressed, his own brother is so stretched, he is worried about Beasley's next contract.

Coach Brooks didn't explain any tactical arrangements, and the Thunder played very well after the opening, and if this game continues at this pace, it will be basically stable.

The Heat came back from a timeout, relying on Wade's blocking and dismantling breakthrough, scoring two points to help the team stabilize the situation, but the Thunder's offense has been completely opened, and the turtle's high blocking and dismantling and emergency pull-up jump shots have also been scored continuously.

The teammates are in good shape, and Li Ze is not reluctant to attack, smoking in the bottom corner most of the time, occasionally transitioning the ball, helping the team to play tactical cooperation, and feeding Kostic by the way, after all, this has just returned from injury and has to let the other party find more form.

With 4 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, the Thunder failed to play a tactical match, and the offensive time was running out.

Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, leaning on Wade while observing the Heat's defensive position, perhaps because the offensive time was approaching, O'Neal Jr. was very defensive this time, and seemed to want to come over and wrap Li Ze.

Just as the opponent was about to move, Li Ze made a hidden behind-the-ground pass, passed through Wade and O'Neal Jr., and fell into the hands of Kostic with precision. The latter was slightly stunned when he received the ball, and then strode the meteor straight to the basket, and won the one-arm dunk!

The badge combination effect of [Bullet Passer] + [Needle] made Li Ze's pass fast and accurate, easily tearing apart the Heat's defense.

"It's a beautiful pass! Passed through the middle of the human slit, Li Ze is really amazing, this is already the 5th assist, counting this goal, Li Ze has already passed three to Kostic, all of which are fed to the side of the mouth! ”

Director Zhang looked at it with a smile, although Li Ze hadn't scored yet, he completely disintegrated the Heat's defense, and Wade couldn't contain him.

"It can be seen that Li Ze wants to help his teammates find their form, after all, he has just returned from injury, and this game can indeed see Li Ze's progress compared to the beginning of the game, he is more calm on the field, and perfectly controls the team's offensive rhythm."

The host Yang Jian also turned on Li Ze's blowing mode, and cooperated with Zhang's guidance, wow, wow...

In the remaining 3 minutes of the first quarter of the game, Wade was getting cooler and colder, and was he possessed by a blacksmith? Quentin Richardson and Haslem on the court clattered the iron, and the Thunder once again played a crazy transition offense, easily hitting a wave of 8-0.

By the end of the first quarter, 19-31, the Thunder had a 12-point lead, and the Heat nearly smashed the basket in the Ford Center.

Coach Spo had a bad hand and took Beasley again in the second quarter, but it was a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting himself, and the Heat's defense was completely dismembered by Li Ze.

In the rotation stage, Li Ze punched hard, opened up all the firepower, faced Dorrell White who was replaced on the court, continuously dribbled under the crotch outside the three-point line, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.

Such a simple feint shook the opponent to take a step back, and Li Ze instantly collected the ball and made a jump shot outside the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

In the next few rounds, the three-pointers after blocking and dismantling in the high position, the step-back three-pointers that shook off the defense, and the empty three-pointers conducted by the outside line, Li Ze hit one after another, and the Thunder team continued to widen the difference.

Coach Spo had no choice but to change back to Wade in advance, but unfortunately the rhythm of the game had been completely controlled by the Thunder team.

The more Wade fights, the more depressed he becomes, why can't he prevent it? How did the Heat's defense become like this?

In the second half of the second quarter, Li Ze began to stand on the free throw line frequently, and after all two free throws were scored, Li Ze said to Wade with a smile:

"My teammates are scoring easily, and it looks like there's no suspense in this game!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wade's reaction, he turned his head and quickly returned to defense, and ran after loading X, this is the skill of pretending to be X learned from Paul...

Wade looked at the score on the court, and smiled helplessly, with an 18-point difference, the game was basically gone, and they were shot by the Thunder's three-point shot!

In the second half of the game, the two sides played more and more fluently, and the garbage time came soon, which made the water cooler players on both sides excited, and finally they could have a good time!

In the end, 82-106, the Thunder easily defeated the crazy iron-striking Heat and continued to lead the West.

Wade didn't say a word after sitting on the bench in the third quarter, and after the game, he watched the Thunder trio accept the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, and couldn't help but show envious eyes, and silently thought in his heart:

"Perhaps, I should make some changes, too!"
