When your teammates come back from injury and get open space after coming on the pitch, will you continue to pass the ball after the first few shots?

Li Ze felt that it should be passed, after all, the game had just begun, and the iron should be in a state of state, and maybe it would suddenly be accurate later.

Durant also feels that he should pass because Jeff Green is his staunch supporter in the locker room, and when the younger brother comes back from injury, he must give some encouragement as the boss!

As for the turtle, he doesn't want to do that, he just plays ball.

But more than 6 minutes were played in the first quarter, and Jeff Green's shot was really Iron Mom opened the door to Iron, and Iron arrived home!

Except for a basket to score two points, the Bulls really gave a chance to shoot 0 of 3 points in the open position, and Jeff Green really couldn't throw it in...

However, the Thunder's trio played normally, and the Bulls couldn't pull away from the difference, and the head coach Brooks immediately asked for a timeout as soon as he saw that the time was almost up, and he had to replace Jeff Green.

The offense couldn't score, the backcourt rebounds also lost two, and the Bulls had some faint signs of momentum, and the opponent's rhythm had to be interrupted at this time.

"Sorry guys, I'm shooting so badly in this game, I should have shot all those damn open spots!"

Jeff Green, who was sitting on the bench, said depressedly.

"You've just recovered from a shoulder injury, and your shooting feel will definitely be affected, don't care about the shooting percentage, and throw it when you have the opportunity!"

Li Ze also briefly comforted Jeff Green, at this time, you must calm down, impatience does not solve the problem, at this time, Coach Brooks also began to tell his players:

"Guys, we must protect our backcourt rebounds, pay attention to the card position, if the opponent increases the outside projection, the long rebounding ball must also be controlled, and resolutely do not give the opponent a second chance to attack!"

Obviously, Coach Brooks is not satisfied with the team's backcourt rebounding performance, and once they can't collect the rebounds in time, it will be difficult for the Thunder to play the transition offense.

"It's okay, Green, you haven't played in an official game for almost a month, don't care about the stats, I'll keep passing you the ball!"

Towards the end of the timeout, Durant also whispered to comfort Jeff Green next to him, being the boss can't chill the heart of the younger brother.

"Thanks! Bro, I'll get myself in shape quickly! ”

Jeff Green naturally knew that he was pulling his hips, but in the first game of his return from injury, he was hit by the Bulls' Gibson and Noah, and he felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the game, especially when switching to Rose, the opponent's speed was too fast.

After returning from a timeout, the Thunder reintroduced Ibaka, and the turtle's high-post blocking tactics were unsuccessful, and after returning the ball to Kostic, Li Ze quickly came to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball and reorganize the offense.

After a hand-to-hand exchange with Kostic, the Bulls' defense consciously let Li Ze go with his right hand, and the shooting data showed that Li Ze hit slightly lower on the right half of the court.

Li Ze was also not polite, holding the ball in his right hand to accelerate the breakthrough, and Noah, who had changed the defense, desperately chased the defense, always raised his hands high, and tried not to give Li Ze a chance to stop and jump shot.

Noah, who was close to the defense, was directly flown off, at this time, Li Ze took his left foot as the axis, turned around dexterously, and pretended to shoot again, noticing that Gibson, who was assisting in the defense, was also shaken, Li Ze flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Ibaka, who followed up.

The latter catches the ball, takes off with the trend, and dunks heavily with both hands under the basket!

"Bang...", followed up with a dunk.

"Wow!!"

After Ibaka dunked the ball into the basket, the Ford Center immediately erupted in loud cheers, and the Thunder played a somewhat dull game in the first quarter, which can be regarded as igniting the atmosphere at home.

"Brilliant passing! Kayce shook off two Bulls interior players in a row and assisted Ibaka to score a dunk, perfect offensive rhythm! ”

Home commentator Twyn also raised his voice.

Li Ze smiled slightly, high-fived and celebrated with Ibaka, after half a season of training, Li Ze's body coordination has been effectively explored, this kind of footwork after shaking, seemingly simple, but very test the ability to combine the ball.

The Bulls' offense was still initiated by Rose, and after the opening, Rose played extremely vigorously, constantly attacking the basket, noticing that the Thunder's defense was shrinking badly, and after breaking through, he passed the ball directly to Lore Deng outside the three-point line.

The latter catches the ball, does not make adjustments, pulls it up and throws it.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

Coach De Nagro applauded on the sidelines to signal that the ball was played well, and after losing to the Thunder in the last meeting, the Bulls consciously increased their outside projection and completely improved their constipated offensive space.

Although the team's outside shooting is good and bad, the coaching staff still sticks to this offensive strategy, after all, the Bulls can still rush for rebounds if they can't shoot, and Noah and Gibson can do this task well.

With Lore Deng's three-point shot, the Bulls' perimeter began to come full play in the remaining minutes of the first quarter, and Hinrich hit two three-pointers in a row.

At 32:24, after the end of the first quarter, the Bulls who were playing away led by eight points.

At the intermission, Li Ze was a little depressed, he didn't expect the Bulls to rush to the frontcourt to rebound, Gibson and Noah were just two big-stirring sticks, and the Thunder failed to play a conversion offense in the first quarter.

In the following games, the Bulls borrowed from the Grizzlies' defensive style, frequently increased physical confrontations, resolutely did not give three-point shots, and maintained the rush for frontcourt rebounds, making it difficult for the Thunder to easily play a transition offense.

Under the excellent play of Gibson and Noah, the rebounding of the Bulls completely suppressed the Thunder, and Noah's excellent ability to protect the basket made the turtle slowly walk into the sewer in the second half....

In the final quarter, with Jeff Green and Turtle double-doubled, the Bulls contracted in an all-round way, and began to wrap up Li Ze and Durant, and finally, 100-90, the Bulls who were fighting away succeeded in revenge.

This is also the second lowest score in a single game of the Thunder this season, and under the continuous research of various teams in the league, everyone has gradually found a way to restrain the Thunder team and rush to grab the frontcourt rebound!

At 56:44, the Bulls won the Thunder by 12 rebounds, tough defense, fierce rebounding, and this is how they won.

After the game, Li Ze looked at the smiling Ross and said with a helpless wry smile:

"Congratulations, Bro! Successfully selected as an All-Star, you played so well in this game, I really envy your explosiveness! ”

In this game, Rose got 26 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 turnovers, no three-pointers, no free throws, 13 of 23 shots, all of which were breakthroughs and mid-range.

"Actually, I'd rather have your shooting ability, maybe we can train together in the offseason, and I really want to ask you for some advice on shooting."

"It's a shame that we can't be on the same team in the Rookie Challenge, and the thought of partnering with Russell in the backcourt gives me a bit of a headache!"

After winning, Rose was in a good mood, and by the way, he teased the tortoise who hit the iron.

"Haha, I've been looking forward to playing with you all along, but the sophomore team should be careful, I have a super shooter Stephen Curry on my side, don't lose to us accidentally."

Li Ze heard Rose mention the rookie challenge, and immediately responded with a smile.

"Cool! I'm already looking forward to our fight, come on, Bro! ”

Rose was very confident, he didn't think the second year would lose to the first year, this was an advantage of experience, and the two exchanged business on the sidelines for a long time, before they hugged and said goodbye.

In the Thunder locker room, except for Turtle and Jeff Green, who looked a little depressed, the rest of their teammates were not affected by the loss.

Li Ze and Durant still played steadily in this game, scoring 24+7+6 and 28+7+2 respectively, and the two cut half of the team's points, except for the three-point shot, the rest of the performance was impeccable.

"Alright, Russell, you should have a conversation with Rose after the game, those boring media in the province started criticizing your character again, and Rose said that he was really looking forward to playing the Rookie Challenge with you!"

Li Ze comforted his good brother while making ice compresses.

It's a pity that when I mentioned this incident, the turtle was even more depressed, last year's rookie challenge, the first-year rookies were blown up by Durant, and in the 40-minute game, Durant easily scored 46 points, which was terrifying!

Sure enough, before the turtle could speak, Durant had already said with a smile:

"Haha, Russell and Rose barely cooperated last year, we were able to turn the tables in the second half, thanks to them, Kayce, be prepared for the abuse of the first-year team, Russell will definitely get revenge this year!"

"Shet! I don't like playing with Rose, and if Kayce is here, I promise we will definitely win last year, but I won't be merciful this year, because it's a league tradition for sophomores to win. ”

Remembering that last year's rookie challenge was dominated by Durant, Turtle replied depressedly.

"Come on, Kayce, I'm optimistic about you guys, overturn the second grade, otherwise the rookie challenge is really boring, and every time the second grade team wins."

Jeff Green, who played the iron all night, also smiled at this time, he and the turtle both scored 10 points, and they didn't feel anything after returning from injury.

"Don't worry, with me, the first-year team will definitely not admit defeat easily, Russell, come on when the time comes!"

Li Ze put on a look of winning and provoked his teammates to laugh, only a bad premonition appeared in the heart of the turtle, he felt that he really could lose the rookie game for two consecutive years...

On January 28, the NBA league officially announced the roster of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and the second-year team was led by Derry Cross of the Bulls.

Michael Beasley (Heat), Mark Gasol (Grizzlies),

O.J. Mayo (Grizzlies), Danilo Gallinari (Knicks), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Brook Lopez (Nets), Kevin Love (Timberwolves), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Derrick Rose (Bulls).

The first-year team is led by Li Ze, and the detailed list is:

Omi Cosby (Kings), DeJuan Blair (Spurs), Stephen Curry (Warriors), Tyrek Evans (Timberwolves), Ty Gibson (Bulls), James Harden (Kings), Blanton Jennings (Bucks), Younas Jerebko (Pistons), Lee Ze (Thunder).

Li Ze, who was surfing the Internet at home, saw the rookie challenge list announced on the NBA's official website, and immediately felt happy:

"Set a small goal first and win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge!"

On January 29, the Thunder will host the Nuggets, and unlike the last meeting, Carmelo Anthony will continue to be suspended for this game due to a knee injury.

The Nuggets currently sit in sixth place in the West with a 31-14 record, and although the team has lost back-to-back games since Anthony's injury, they still have two wins ahead of the Jazz in seventh place.

Coach George Karl also made a big move, and the benches all got a lot of playing time, but after missing Anthony's strong point, the Nuggets only withstood a quarter and surrendered directly.

When the Nuggets couldn't rely on the outside to score, the Thunder scored 36-19 in the second quarter and easily won the game.

The Thunder team in the downwind God of War mode is in full bloom, and at 88:110, the Thunder team easily defeated the Nuggets at home.

Li Ze got a double-double of 20+5+11 in this game, which successfully drove the Thunder's offense, and Durant was also extremely efficient in this game, easily cutting 30+5+2, the fly in the ointment was that he brushed 6 points in garbage time...

On January 31, the Thunder's final game of January, they will face the swooping Golden State Warriors at home.

The Golden State Warriors currently have a 13-32 record and are in the third-to-last position in the West, followed by the bearded Harden's Kings and the Timberwolves of Love...

Halfway through the schedule, the Golden State Warriors have basically said goodbye to the playoffs, given the extremely fierce competition in the West...

In the private restaurant of the Russian city, Li Ze once again entertained the unlucky Stephen Curry, compared with the last time he was depressed, the Curry who was a guest in the Russian city this time was obviously in a much better mood, but it is very likely that this guy has already laid down and accepted his fate...

"Wow, looks like you're doing well, Bro, the last time you came to Russia, you almost cried out loud!"

Li Ze looked at Curry, who was wearing a gray hoodie and dressed casually, and laughed and teased.

"Come on! Kayce, I haven't lost that many games in my life, so it's torture for me, but maybe because I didn't make the playoffs, the atmosphere in the team is much better. ”

"Of course, I still don't get a lot of balls and I have to run errands for my teammates and buy donuts from time to time, but maybe that's life in the NBA and I think I'm starting to get used to it."

Stephen Curry said that he had lost a hemp and was completely flat at this point.

"As miserable as it sounds, has Ayesha adapted to life in San Francisco? I think you can focus on your family and training first, and if Nelson Sr. really sees you as a core player, all you need to do is be patient and wait for your chances. ”

Li Ze looked at Stephen Curry, who was dressed in a decadent atmosphere, and simply comforted the other party.

"It's really good in San Francisco, and Ayesha is slowly starting to like it, but the Warriors are a real mess, the locker room is full of small groups, everyone has their own plans, but few people really want to win."

"Monta Ellis is a good guy off the court, but he's not a team-mate on the pitch who likes to share the ball, and with Corey Margeti needing to make a shot, I really don't get many chances, but you're right about Kayce, I'll be patient."

Stephen Curry is also rare to be able to complain about his heart with his friends, and he must show that he is in control in front of his family.

But in fact, he is very anxious every day, and every time he chats with Li Ze, it is one of the few times he has time to relax.

"There's always going to be a bit of a grind to be successful, come on, Bro, by the way, if you like fishing, you can come to Ohio first in the offseason, it's definitely a great place to fish!"

Li Ze motioned to the waiter that he could serve the food, and teased Stephen Curry again.

"Haha, that's an interesting proposition, but I prefer to play golf and I'm kind of looking forward to the Rookie Challenge, this is the first time we've been in the backcourt!"

"Hehe, try to overturn the sophomore team when the time comes, believe me, it will definitely be a good game!"

On the night of the 31st, the Ford Center Arena was full of spectators, and Russian fans are more and more fond of watching the game at home.

Many fans in Russia also figured out Li Ze's warm-up habits, and came to the scene early, just to get Li Zezai's autograph, and if they are lucky enough, they can also get a wave of group photos.

"Kayce, I like you so much, I'm really sorry, I mobilized all my friends around me to vote for your All-Star together, but I missed it this year, shit NBA League, oh! Sorry, I shouldn't have sweared, I'm so excited! ”

Li Ze was surrounded by a group of local female fans in Russia at this time, and the security personnel had already been squeezed outside, and the enthusiastic female fans couldn't wait to pounce on Li Ze directly.

"Don't worry about the All-Star thing, thank you for your support!"

Before Li Ze could finish speaking, a choppy blonde female fan suddenly shouted:

"Kayce, sign another one for me, here!"

After speaking, he proudly straightened his chest and motioned for Li Ze to sign quickly, but this action annoyed the girls around him.

"Bichi! Isn't it great to have big breasts? You damn cow! "Get out of the way, Kayce doesn't like girls like you!" "Get out of the way, little man!"

As soon as the security personnel saw that something was wrong, they quickly separated the crowd, and they could actually see this scene very often, since Li Ze's single "Shape

of

After the fire of "You", some female fans have gone crazy!

Of course, this is all caused by the American knife, young and golden, and the body is great, such a Kaizi, it's really hard to find! Many tank girls have also ended, the taste of rich people is difficult to say, in case they are taken by Li Ze, then they will get rich directly!

Durant watched with envy and jealousy, he was about to win the scoring championship and become the top star of Nike, but his popularity was a big step behind Li Ze.

noticed that there was a little fat man next to him, holding a Thunder jersey, and immediately said:

"Hey, man, do you need me to get you an autograph?"

The little fat man seemed to have just reacted, noticed Durant beside him, and suddenly exclaimed:

“OMG！ KD, I didn't expect to meet you here! I'm a big fan of yours and your skills are really amazing! ”

Durant smiled slightly when he heard this, he was still very popular in the city, and when he was about to sign an autograph for the little fat man, the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard the second half of the other party's words.

"But today I only brought a jersey, I want Kayce's autograph, KD, can you help me?"

At this time, Durant's heart was crazy about lemons, but on the surface, he was calm and calm, and replied with a smile:

"Of course! You're in luck, man, I still have an autographed jersey here, Kayce will sign it for you, I'll give you a jersey too, thank you for supporting the Thunder! ”

"Cool!!"

......

What are the Thunder's best at the moment? That must be abusing vegetables, after having Li Ze, the metronome on the court, the Thunder team is definitely a stable batch.

The Warriors, as the belly team in the West, are basically hopeless for the playoffs, and the defense of this game is completely stretched, and all the players on the court are thinking about scoring points and getting data, and everyone has said, what is defense?

The Thunder's defense was slightly stronger, and the game was 38-24 in the first quarter, and Li Ze felt that such a game was extremely boring, and Corey Margetty and Monta Ellis almost took the Warriors' first quarter shots.

The two took 6 shots each, and the unlucky Stephen Curry only got 2 shots, and Andris Biedlings was treated, and as for Anthony Tolivier, the brother has been turning back and running since he came on the court...

In the second quarter of the game, Li Ze watched the Warriors still play nonsense, and finally fully understood Stephen Curry's situation.

"The temple is a little demon with a big wind, and the water is shallow, this is indeed a nightmare start for the rookie..."
