Being an All-Star in his rookie season is actually quite an achievement, and there aren't many players like that in the history of the NBA.

After entering the league in '07, Durant was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics with huge ambitions, thinking that he would kill all sides, but the ruthless reality hit him head-on.

In his rookie season, Durant averaged 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 28.8% from three-point range.

The batch of Durant irons who entered the league for the first time, coupled with the Seattle SuperSonics' bad swing and boastful record, completely shattered his rookie dream of being selected as an All-Star.

Thinking that once Li Ze is selected as an All-Star, his name will be tied with Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Olajuwon and other god-level players, Durant is crazy in his heart.

"Who is the most talented in the team? It's me! Who trains hardest on the team? Or me! But why does all the good always find Kayce? Why does Lady Luck always favor him..."

The more he thought about it, the more sour Durant turned around and walked to the training gym at home, he has recently begun to frantically hone his ball-handling skills, and after repeatedly losing to Li Ze in training, he has turned into a walking roll king.

Durant was doing basic ball control training, and he was silently ruthless in his heart:

"You have to outpower everyone in terms of strength! The media like you, but basketball doesn't lie, I'm the real heart of the team! ”

On February 6th, the Thunder will fly to Oakland to challenge the Golden State Warriors who just played a few days ago.

The Warriors were in a mess and the Trail Blazers were plagued by injuries, which made it very easy for everyone on the Thunder team, and everyone stopped talking about opponents at this time, but discussed the topic of All-Star Games.

"Allen Iverson actually withdrew from the All-Star Game because of personal matters, David Lee actually entered the All-Star Game by substitute, and the big city team is good!"

After the news came out yesterday, many players were sour to death, David Lee's data is good, and with the blessing of New York, it makes sense to be selected as an All-Star, but Jeff Green just wants to complain, he admits that he is jealous...

"It's great to play in New York! Whether it's the new Barclays Center or some of the old Madison Square Gardens, it's amazing, and I really envy the team in New York. ”

Ever since he saw Barclays Center, he has been obsessed with it.

"But the fans in New York are not friendly, scolding is the norm, and the fans in the city are much better, and I think our home atmosphere is the best in the league!"

Big brother Nick Collison suddenly answered, complaining about the fans in New York.

"The team in the East is so happy, they play so badly, they can be selected as All-Stars, and the competition for playoff spots every year is not fierce, and there is no competitive pressure, which is really enviable."

Durant believes that except for the Celtics and the Magic in the East, everything else can be regarded as a welfare bureau, and as long as the Thunder has a good outside touch, it is not difficult to play other teams.

"Yes, the competition in the West is really fierce, 39-10, the Lakers have the same record as us, and the Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets and our win gap is also very small, and if you lose a few games, you will fall directly to the bottom half..."

Li Ze also complained helplessly, the chase behind was too tight, the fifth-place Tunneling Team and the Thunder Team were 5 wins away, and in the second half of the regular season, it depends on who is healthier and who is more stable.

"If Kayce had been on an Eastern Conference team, he might have been an All-Star."

"Forget it, the league has made it clear that it wants to choose veterans, and only Yao was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season after Duncan, but in recent years, this phenomenon has long disappeared!"

"The '96s have ruled the league for too long, and I think these old guys should give up their spots, and the previous All-Star Game was really boring."

"Kayce, you must win the Skill Challenge, I pressed 1,000 US dollars on you."

"I think Kayce has too much advantage, and he can definitely hit an unguarded three-point shot easily, and the passing is no longer a problem, and I also pressed 500 US dollars."

"Maybe Nash can compete with Kayce, I'm not optimistic that Rose can defend his title!"

When Li Ze heard the ridicule of his teammates, he immediately put on a posture of winning the championship and said loudly:

"Guys, you all know my strength, buy me all and win, I will definitely make you a lot of money!"

On February 3rd,

The NBA league has announced the roster for the All-Star Skills Challenge.

The two draftees in the West are Steve Nash of the Suns and Lee Ze of the Thunder, and the two draftees in the East are Derrick Rose of the Bulls and Brandon Jennings of the Bucks.

Veteran Nash has had the second spring of his career this season, and his form is so good that he explodes, and in most cases young players will be selected for the skills challenge, and many people did not expect that the league would actually let the 35-year-old Nash participate in this event this year.

"I believe you, Bro!" "I'll add another 1,000 US dollars!" "Nash is certainly no match for Kayce!"

Li Ze also smiled in his heart when he heard his teammates' Luo Quanf, and it was also very commemorative to not be selected as an all-star and win the championship of the skills challenge.

After arriving in Oakland, at lunchtime, Li Ze came to Stephen Curry's house as promised, although Curry did not get much money in his rookie years, but he had a guarantee contract in hand, and he would not wronged himself and his girlfriend.

Curry chose to settle down in the suburban town of Olinda, although the house is rented for the time being, but the home is very warmly furnished, which is completely different styles from Li Ze's mansion in the Russian city.

"Welcome! Kayce, lunch was ready in no time, Curry was in a much better mood last time I came back from Oso, thank you so much. ”

Ayesha was dressed casually, hugged Li Ze first, and then thanked Li Ze in a low voice.

"You're welcome, I really envy Curry's life, you take care of him so well!"

Li Ze is indeed a little lemony, he knew that he had made an appointment to meet in the restaurant, and he was shown off...

"You can also have this kind of life, Ancole is a good girl, you should probably consider getting married, good girls don't wait for anyone."

Ayesha also learned some about Li Ze's romantic past, and when she saw Li Ze's depressed expression, she almost laughed out loud.

"She's right, in fact, I plan to get married next year, Kayce, you are still young, but when you meet a good girl, you must be decisive!"

Li Ze saw Curry coming out of the kitchen with a plate of salad, with a happy look on his face, and suddenly felt that he had been critically attacked, good guy, fancy show affection...

"Maybe you'll receive our wedding invitation next year, Kayce, not only think about your career, but also cherish the girls around you!"

Ayesha also went over to help Curry serve food, and the two looked like husbands and wives, and Li Ze became more and more depressed when she saw it.

"I'll think about it! Curry told me you're doing great cooking, and I can't wait to try it! ”

"Ayesha's cooking skills are getting better and better, believe me, definitely not lose to Michelin-starred restaurants!"

After Li Ze heard Curry's words, he was speechless:

"That's not what you said in Ohs! I didn't expect you to be the same as the turtle, both are strict wives..."

......

The attendance of the Oracle Arena tonight is particularly high, San Francisco is not far from Oakland, and many local Chinese fans bought tickets early to come and watch Li Ze play.

Many Chinese fans wearing the No. 10 jersey of the Thunder entered early, and everyone knew that Li Ze would warm up in advance, and this was the best time to sign autographs and take a group photo.

Although the noon show of affection was successful, Curry at this time still showed envious eyes when he saw Li Ze surrounded by fans, the current star of the Warriors is Monta Ellis, and many fans have not recognized him.

However, thinking of the colorful pie painted for him by the old Nelson head coach, Curry firmly believed that he would become a core member of the team, and silently thought in his heart:

"I'll be patient and wait for the opportunity to come!"

Before the game, the Thunder were in the locker room, and Coach Brooks once again highlighted the health concerns:

"Guys, the regular season is over two months away, and we've got to stay healthy at this time, and in the two games before the All-Star Weekend, we don't have the pressure to play on the court!"

"Get your own hands on the court, after All-Star Weekend, we have to focus on preparing for the playoffs, and in the second half of the regular season, the competition in the West is getting tougher, and I don't want to see us fall behind because of injuries."

"Whether it's a pre-match warm-up or a post-match stretching physiotherapy, you have to be strict with yourself, and I won't stress too much on the tactical issues, just a few days after the last meeting, we just played according to the normal game plan."

"After playing two games safely, we are going to have a relaxed and happy All-Star weekend!"

"Yay, ten thousand, spit, crush, tired of logging!"

The game started immediately and the two sides had a final warm-up, at which point Durant was in a good mood as the NBA announced its All-Star replacement this afternoon, and Chauncey Billups of the Nuggets was selected for the All-Star Game.

As Charles Barkley said, for those veterans who have achieved great things, the league still needs to show respect, and when the record is not much different, the comparison is seniority.

"It's okay, Kayce, it's a rookie to go by, and that's how I missed the All-Star Game back then!"

When Durant warmed up, he came to Li Ze's side and comforted him softly.

"Thanks, Bro, I don't have much hope at all, not to mention that for example, Puss has won a championship, and of course the league has to support such a championship guard."

Li Ze's performance is breezy and calm, they are all in a circle, many times they are sophisticated, and it is normal for budding to be suppressed.

"Wait until next year when we go to the All-Star together, do you want to make a few more shots tonight, I'll give you the ball."

The turtle turtle also comforted Li Ze, he was a little worried that his good brother's mentality would explode.

"Haha, just play normally, it's just an All-Star Game, my mentality is not as fragile as you think."

Li Ze felt a little helpless in his heart, he really didn't have an imbalance in mentality, unlike the local players on Amerika's side, Li Ze didn't take the all-star qualification so seriously, as long as he had the data, the all-star qualification was just the icing on the cake.

After the game started, Li Ze was a little confused when he saw the lineup of the Warriors, did the old Nelson head coach give up treatment? One big and four small, but that's too small!

Corby Karl is 196cm, Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis are 191cm, and veteran Corey Margetty is 198cm.

All four of these outside lines are shorter than Lee, and the Warriors are all supported by 211cm Andris Biedrins to support the height.

When your opponent is taller and stronger than you, and the speed is not inferior to yours, there is only one feeling when this game starts: despair...

As little experts in abusing vegetables, Li Ze and Durant opened with full firepower, covering out to catch the ball, ignoring the defense in front of them, pulling them up and throwing them directly, as long as the Warriors change their defenses, the defense is basically in vain.

When the Thunder attacked, Andris Biedlings mostly closed inside, but this kind of defense gave the Thunder a lot of mid-range opportunities, and after Li Ze and Kostic blocked and dismantled, they broke through with their left hand.

Although Curry squeezed past the defense, he saw Li Zeyun quickly stop and jump after taking a step, and suddenly felt very helpless, so he could only watch Li Ze put the ball into the basket.

"Whoa!"

The Oracle Arena also erupted in cheers, and Li Ze's fans came a lot, a little blue among the yellow, and the Chinese fans were very happy to watch.

"Man, I think you should switch up in time, Kayce is very accurate in the middle near the free throw line!"

Stephen Curry, who returned to his home court, wanted to perform well, after all, his girlfriend came to the scene tonight to cheer for him, he didn't want Ayesha to worry, and couldn't help but complain after seeing his teammates defending like this.

"Shut up, rookie! I don't need you to teach me how to defend! ”

Andris Biedrins choked in response, the young man really doesn't understand anything, if he goes out, then the rebound will not be his, the data is the American knife, anyway, it is a loss, so it is better to brush up on more data as soon as possible.

"Stop complaining here, go serve, Stephen."

Monta Ellis saw that the two had some verbal altercations, and immediately came over and knocked the ball to Curry, signaling to serve quickly, although he doesn't like to share the ball, he will not embarrass the rookie.

Stephen Curry swallowed the resentment in his heart and quickly sent the baseline ball, Monta Ellis received the ball and dribbled across the half court, and after blocking Andris Biedrins, he accelerated with the ball in his left hand and failed to score in the face of Kostic's defensive interference.

After the rebound was protected by Jeff Green, a pass found the Turtle and noticed that the Warriors had quickly stepped back, and the Turtle made an offensive gesture.

When Jeff Green and Kostic were doing double screens for Durant, Li Ze in the bottom left corner suddenly moved to the line, and then quickly reversed, cutting along the baseline, and the turtle understood and sent a high throw pass.

After Li Ze received the ball in the air, he paused slightly, and then put the ball into the basket with one hand!

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

"Oh!"

"Ahh

The Oracle Arena erupted into an exclamation, seeing the slow motion on the big screen showing that because Li Ze jumped too high, he was condescending after receiving the ball, and did not touch the basket, as if playing volleyball, a smash action, and the ball was picked in...

Stephen Curry's envious eyes glowed, this dunk is really too stylish, handsome!

Li Ze, who was successful in dunking, showed a calm face, as if to say, this is all a routine operation, and Cobe Carr, who defended Li Ze, really wanted to shout to the head coach of Old Neal at this time:

"Let me go back to the bench, Coach!"

Due to the large number of Chinese fans present, Durant also shared the offensive ball with Li Ze, and when the Warriors hit the iron again, Li Ze dribbled directly across the half.

In the face of Kobe Carr's defense, he suddenly lowered his body center of gravity, crossed the ball with his left hand and dribbled back, and the moment the opponent's defense came up, his right hand turned quickly and changed direction with his hips.

While feintting to break through, the rhythm changed, and his right hand instantly slapped the ball twice on the spot, and saw that Cobe Carr was shaken and staggered, dribbling lightly behind his back, and making a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

“OMG！ Wonderful Crossover, Lee really deserves to be selected as an All-Star, fans love such a gorgeous style of play. ”

The Warriors' home commentator also began to praise Li Ze loudly.

After throwing in this three-pointer, Li Ze gave a thumbs up in the direction where the Chinese fans gathered, which immediately made the excited fans scream.

Kirby Carr has begun to look at the old Nelson head coach frequently, it turns out that he is the starter and defends Li Ze, the purpose is to take the blame for the rest of his teammates?

The young man was very excited before the game, but after defending Li Ze in person, he deeply realized that he and the other party were definitely not players of the same level.

Monster-like body coordination, exaggerated range of movements, fast and slow offensive rhythm, more than 6 minutes into the opening game, Cobe Carr felt extremely tormented!

"Squeak..."

The old Nelson coach still asked for a timeout, and he could naturally see that Cobe Carr was getting more and more depressed, but after looking at the bench, he couldn't help but sigh lightly:

"Sooner or later, I'll trade you all!"

After that, the Thunder team played more and more smoothly, and Li Ze also showed off his work for a long time, after all, there were too many Chinese fans on the scene, so he had to show it, and he couldn't let everyone's tickets buy for nothing!

As a result, some Warriors fans actually defected and began to cheer for the Thunder's goal.

Li Ze, who was replaced to rest, saw such a scene, scratched his head a little speechlessly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:

"The Warriors are completely rotten, and the fans are going to mutiny..."

After Li Ze clocked in in the third quarter, the game time also ran out quickly, 112:100, although the Warriors dared to fight in the garbage time, the Thunder still won easily.

Except for Durant, who had to score points, he also played more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, and the other main players were all replaced by Coach Brooks at the end of the third quarter.

Li Ze and Turtle Turtle scored 20+4+7 and 20+5+5 respectively, and the backcourt combination of the two delivered a total of 12 assists and only 3 turnovers.

On the Warriors' side, Monta Ellis alone had 7 turnovers, plus Stephen Curry's 3 turnovers, and the Warriors' backcourt mistakes have already reached a double.

This game is exactly the same as the last time we lost, and the old Nelson head coach and his coaching staff are probably also completely giving up on treatment...

"Goodbye to the Rookie Challenge, come on, Curry, protect your body, your chance will always come!"

"It's the same with you, a lot of people have been injured lately, and I don't want to see your name in the news."

Li Ze and Curry hugged each other and blessed each other, and then Li Ze briefly greeted the Chinese fans, and then slowly walked back to the players' tunnel.

After the game, there was a lot of laughter in the Thunder locker room, before the All-Star break, there was only one game left with the Trail Blazers, and then thinking of the injury of Roy and Oden, everyone agreed that the game would be very easy.

"I can finally rest for a while, I don't want to go anywhere for All-Star Weekend, I just want to stay in the city and have a good rest."

Kostic let out a sigh that the Thunder team is weak on the inside, facing a lot of impact from opponents in every game, and it is good for Kostic to maintain such attendance, but fatigue is also inevitable.

"yes, the older I get, the more I like to stay at home, and I want to stay home and watch the game during All-Star Weekend."

Nick Collison also followed suit and shared his feelings.

"Guys, you're not yet 30 years old, don't make yourself look like an old man, let's go out collectively and cheer for Kevin and Kayce, I'm pressing 1,000 US dollars, I have to witness Kayce win the championship on the spot!"

Jeff Green loves to be boisterous, and he's been looking forward to this All-Star weekend for a long time, and the iron rod is going to rust if it's not used anymore! The girls of Dallas are waiting for him...

"I'll go to Dallas with Nina, it's a vacation, do you want to go with me in a few days?"

At the thought of living a happy world for two, the turtle asked loudly with a smile, but what he got was a burst of boos from everyone.

"Yikes! Men don't need women for parties. ”

"Russell is really living like an old man."

"Women only affect your shooting percentage, Russell, you have to learn to enjoy solitude!"

Li Ze thought that he would have to take the two girls with him at that time, and suddenly felt a big head, although everyone had a good time at Christmas, but this did not mean that the relationship between the two sides was very stable.

"Planting trees is really a technical job..."

The Portland Trail Blazers have been very unlucky this season, just one month into the season, their champion Oden was injured, and then Brandon Roy, who also suffered minor injuries and has been playing with injuries.

As a result, in early February, Roy, who was plagued by a knee injury, could not hold on, and this injury made Roy out of injury for at least a month.

With competition for a Western Conference playoff spot intensifying, head coach Nate McMillan has been forced to start tapping into the potential of his team's bench.

But what makes people laugh and cry is that the coaching staff found that the most reliable guard line is the 34-year-old veteran Andre Miller, and the most reliable inside line is the 37-year-old veteran Juwan Howard.

In their last game, the Trail Blazers finished in 8th place in the West with a 30-23 record after losing to the Lakers at home, and if they lose again tonight, they will only be one win ahead of the Rockets.

Coach McMillan was under a lot of pressure, and Aldridge, the core of the team, couldn't be happy, and he was depressed to death when he thought that he would face the impact of Turtle Turtle, Li Ze, and Durant in turn.

On February 9th, the Rose Garden Arena, tonight's attendance was not bad, and Portland fans also knew that the team was in a difficult time and needed everyone's support at this time, so many fans also brought blessing slogans, hoping that Roy would recover soon.

After the home DJ screamed, the game was about to start, and in the final warm-up stage before the game, Li Ze noticed that many fans were holding signs to pray for the home team, and couldn't help but sigh to Durant next to him:

"Do you want to release the water properly, wait until the third quarter to exert your strength, after all, you have to maintain respect for the veteran."

"No, Kayce, we're going to win the game in the first quarter, and then slowly brush up the points, although Coach Brooks didn't emphasize the tactical play, but let's play more 4 and 5 blocks after we get on the court, and the effect will definitely be very good."

Durant, who has recently turned into a rogue player, is eager to try it out, and he now loves the feeling of winning by a big score, and he wants to win back all the games he lost in his previous rookie season.

"Kevin is right, let's kill them with a pick-and-roll, and fight for a game in one quarter!"

The turtle can't wait, the interior strength of the western team is generally very strong, and it is rare to encounter the old, weak, sick and disabled, so you must strike hard.

“......”

For this game, Coach McMillan continued the previous line-up, with Andre Miller and Martell Webster at the back, Nicolas Batum and Lamarcus Aldridge at the front, and Juwan Howard at the center.

After the game started, without waiting for Li Ze and Durant to exert their strength, the turtle began his own performance, first scoring continuously in the middle distance of the high block, and then began to break through frantically and shook the pot continuously.

Li Ze succeeded in catching the pot several times with the blessing of the badge of [Sticky Hands] + [Catch-and-Shoot Player], which made the turtle more and more excited, and he also showed off Sam Golde in the transition offense, and after shaking off Andre Miller, he easily scored the ball.

"Shh

The audience at the Rose Garden Arena immediately booed the turtle and turtle, and the Trail Blazers were completely suppressed after the opening, and the fans' emotions were never up, and they could only watch the Thunder team switch offense wave after wave.

The crazy turtle turtle has completely entered his own game, and the defensive end has become extremely focused, stalking Andre Miller to the death, except for Aldridge, who can play hard in the low post, the rest of the Trail Blazers team members are frequently playing iron.

Waiting for the end of the first quarter of the game, at 32:17, the Thunder team easily led by 15 points, and during the break, a classic quote suddenly appeared in Li Ze's heart:

"It's over!!"

In the following game, the Trail Blazers' bench players were also in no form, and Steve Blake and Rudy Fernandez who came off the bench combined to contribute 11 irons, completely killing the suspense of the game.

At 112:80, the Thunder team defeated the Trail Blazers away by 32 points, losing by a large score, and the players of the Trail Blazers did not do anything on the surface, and turned around and walked back to the locker room directly after the game...

"Everyone is a team in the Northwest Division, so let's release the water appropriately in the future!"

Durant also regretted it a little, he didn't expect the Thunder to be so accurate after coming on the bench, and such a point difference was a bit offensive.

"It's late, I guess when Roy comes back from injury, they will definitely fight back."

Li Ze didn't care about the score difference, the game was over, and it was useless to think about it so much.

"The next time we meet the Trail Blazers, let's continue to play like this, haha, I like this rhythm so much."

The turtle turtle was completely angry, and at this time, while waving to the Thunder fans in the distance, he said loudly to Li Ze beside him, offending people or something, he didn't bother to think about that.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Thunder can enjoy the All-Star weekend, and after returning to the hotel, Li Ze also felt relaxed, and turned on the TV casually, but a piece of news caught his attention.

"The NBA league announced tonight that the Lakers' Kobe Bryant will not be able to continue playing in the All-Star Game due to an ankle injury..."

Hearing such news, Li Ze first felt regretful, and then suddenly thought:

"Replacement All-Stars? Maybe it's really my turn!? ”
