Chapter 153: International Superstar (10,000 Words Chapter)
In the 09-10 season, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the situation in the Western Conference playoffs was basically clear at this time, and the Lakers and Thunder had only one win gap, and the two teams took turns to sit in the first place in the West.
The 2nd to 6th place and the top two have a win gap of more than 4 games, the Mavericks, Suns, Jazz, and Nuggets are still working hard for home-court advantage, and the Spurs are in 7th place, three wins ahead of the Trail Blazers, but two wins behind the Nuggets...
The 8th-place Trail Blazers are very stable, they are 4 wins ahead of the 9th-place Rockets, and if there are no big surprises, there is not much suspense in the top 8 in the West.
The situation in the East is different, with the Cavaliers led by LeBron James and the Magic led by Dwight Howard leading the East, and some fish belly teams were gouged out, and the Raptors and Pacers also had the possibility of entering the playoffs.
The Bulls, who are in 8th place, don't have too many wins, and with around 40+ wins to enter the playoffs, several teams in the East still have the possibility of giving it a go.
It's just that the playoffs and the Nets are not on the same side at all, and at the end of the regular season, the Nets currently have a 7-57 record, ranking first from the bottom in the league...
The media on Amika's side naturally don't pay attention to such a game, but the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean don't care about the outcome of the game, as long as Li Ze and the United Arab Emirates are present at the same time, they will naturally watch the game.
The ratings of the game have increased dramatically, and fans on various platforms are constantly discussing topics related to the two.
In the first quarter of the game, just over 4 minutes into the game, the United Arab Emirates successfully hit a three-pointer outside the three-point line.
"What a ball! The UAE's three-point shot is getting more and more accurate, and there are not many big men in the league who can shoot three-point shots now, so there should be no need to worry about the next contract. ”
Coach Zhang didn't care about 3721, he came up and blew it, and the three-point shooting rate of the UAE was blown out of the early three...
The host Yu Jia was a little embarrassed to listen to the sidelines, you are too ruthless to blow this old man, who dares to guarantee the contract matter?
The audience at the Barclays Center Gymnasium was very face-saving, as long as the United Arab Emirates scored, they immediately sent a huge cheer, and the Chinese fans shouted the most, and they were happy to see Li Ze and the United Arab Emirates playing on the field.
"UAE, keep casting!"
"It's a beautiful three-pointer! This ticket was not bought in vain. ”
"Ahh Yes!! ”
Li Ze listened to the Mandarin with an accent on the scene, and he also felt very cordial in his heart, and couldn't help but show off his skills even harder.
Turtle Turtle also knew that there were many Chinese fans, so he had to let Li Ze show more, and handed the ball to Li Ze just after halftime, facing Courtney Lee's defense at 45 degrees on the left side outside the three-point line, and dribbled twice quickly under his crotch on the spot to find his rhythm.
Holding the ball in his right hand, he dribbled back with a cross step, paused slightly with his left hand, suddenly slowed down the pace of the dribble, noticed that Courtney Lee's defense had been pasted, quickly changed direction under his crotch, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Noticing that Lopez had stood in the position of assisting the defense, he suddenly threw the ball on the board with his right hand during the march, continued to accelerate, took two big steps and took off, received the rebounded basketball in the air, glided briefly, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
"Bang...", hit the board and dunked it.
"Ahh It's so handsome! ”
"Li Zeniu X!!"
The audience at the Barclays Center Arena collectively rebelled, and they all cheered wildly for Li Ze's dunk, this is the show to fly!
"Played, played! The game has to be played like this, Li Ze's ball is really beautiful, full of imagination, and completely shows his athletic talent! ”
The more Director Zhang watched it, the happier he became, and he was fully engaged in the commentary game, and the host Yu Jia was completely unable to interject on the side...
Seeing such a wonderful dunk, the turtle and turtle excitedly bumped his chest with Li Ze to celebrate, and kept screaming in his mouth.
"Roar!! That's cool, Bro! ”
Durant also stepped forward to high-five Li Ze, happy on the surface, but he had a lemon in his heart, he can actually make such a dunk action, but the visual effect is a big difference with Li Ze, and the strength and beauty are not comparable.
Coach Van de Verky immediately called a timeout, the two teams were not on the same level, and such a game was almost reduced to an exhibition game...
In the subsequent game, Coach Brooks was also very understanding, directly letting Li Ze play the first quarter, and in the second quarter of the bench stage, with the strong support of his teammates, Li Ze won a lot of balls.
By the end of the half, at 66:52, the Thunder team easily took a 14-point lead, and Li Ze even scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists at halftime, which made all the fans addicted.
Although the game had lost its suspense, Li Ze played until there were 5 minutes and 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and the audience immediately gave him warm applause and thanked him for his hard work in this game.
Three-point shot, Cross
Over, back-to-back singles, breakthrough blasts, Li Ze almost showed dazzling offensive skills, and Courtney-Lee, who was opposite Li Ze in this game, had only one thought in his heart:
"Coach, I really want to take a break..."
For the rest of the time, the two teams played fast, and finally, at 118:98, the Thunder defeated the Nets on the road and returned to the first place in the West.
Li Ze played 40 minutes in this game, got 34 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 turnover, and quasi-triple-double, which made the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean feel extremely painful, and everyone complained wildly after the game:
"I can't stand it anymore! In the 4th quarter, I was always hoping that Li Ze could get 1 rebound and 1 assist, but after 5 minutes, except for the score that went up a little, the other two statistics were all zero, didn't he know that he was going to get a triple-double? ”
"Ahhh It's so uncomfortable, forcing obsessive-compulsive disorder to death, I don't want three pairs in my hand, what is the situation! ”
"It's all to blame for Soflosa, I didn't score a three-pointer in an empty cut, otherwise I would have gotten a triple-double."
"The UAE played really well, 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 errors, and 2 of 6 three-pointers were okay, but Li Ze really didn't pay much attention to the data, what a good triple-double opportunity, it was wasted."
"It's a bit of my Zhan, I really hope the Thunder team can enter the finals, I want to see Li Ze and my Zhan face each other so much!"
"Put 100 hearts, the Celtics Big Three teach you to be a man, don't look at the Cavaliers' good record, but it's all paper tigers, and you have to see superstars in the playoffs, I hope to see the yellow-green battle, and the volute will definitely succeed in revenge!"
"It's coming, it's the loan championship again, go to other places to brush posts, don't keep looking for a sense of existence here."
After the game, Yi Jianlian found Li Ze and whispered:
"Play with peace of mind, don't worry about other things, in the playoffs, I will definitely go to Russia to cheer you on, and I will rarely accept interviews with domestic reporters in the near future."
"Don't worry, Brother Lian, my requirements are not high, anyway, I can play in the London Olympics in 12 years!"
Li Ze, who is open, doesn't care about playing more games in the offseason, but he doesn't want to be a bargaining chip in the hands of some people, and he doesn't want to mix with those boring workplace struggles in China.
"Come on, you will definitely be able to break through the first round and strive to reach the Western Conference Finals, which can be regarded as making up for Da Yao's regrets."
"Haha, I'll try!"
On March 13, the Thunder returned to Russia, and tomorrow night they will face the Utah Jazz at home, and the opponent is currently attacking the top four in order to gain home-court advantage, and the same is true for the Thunder, since the Lakers have lost, the head coach of Brooks has also begun to count the opponent.
If the Thunder can maintain their No. 1 spot in the West, they will face the Trail Blazers in the first round, which is considered a top-up pick.
Although the Trail Blazers also have a strong interior line like Aldridge, it is much better to play the Trail Blazers than to play against the Spurs, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the GDP combination is the basic plate of the Spurs, and no one dares to say that they can win against this old and spicy team.
"Brooks, let's prepare for the worst, maybe we will meet the Spurs in the first round, the Lakers haven't relaxed recently, they want to completely establish home-court advantage, and the Cavaliers in the East are also chasing very tightly."
Seeing that Coach Brooks looked at the table every day, the assistant coach directly shattered those boring illusions, and according to the current situation, it is difficult for the Thunder to avoid the Spurs.
"Hey, I hope we can keep the first position in the West, I really don't want to play against the Spurs, the other side is too experienced, I'm a little worried about the boys, our joint defense has not yet completely formed a system, maybe it will be difficult to limit Tim Duncan's play."
Coach Brooks is not only worried about his players, but also about his tactics and tactics in the face of old Foxes like Popovich, who is also a rookie head coach with no playoff experience at all.
"But I have a lot of confidence in Kayce and Kevin, they must be big players, the playoffs are their real stage, we just need to make tactical arrangements, and leave the rest to the players on the court."
Hearing the assistant coach's comfort, Coach Brooks gradually calmed down, it's useless to think too much now, everything is unknown, thinking of the Thunder's outside talent, I can't help but secretly comfort myself:
"It's not good defensively, it's attacking, and in terms of fitness we'll definitely have the advantage!"
On the night of March 14, Russian fans flocked to Ford Center early, and many of them wore huge avatars of the Thunder trio to show their support for the team.
This huge avatar, which resembles a poster, is a new product launched in the team's store, and as soon as it was put on the shelves, it was well received by many fans, and in early March, it was even sold out...
City fans aren't worried about the playoffs either, the team is currently 52-12 and has almost locked up a playoff spot, and as long as the team plays normally, a few more losses will not affect them.
Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room, the old coach Sloan looked serious, the Jazz currently have a 44-21 record, and there are still three wins away from the fourth-place Mavericks, in order to get home-court advantage, this game must fight.
The Jazz had some bad luck this season, and the team had a smooth start to the season, but unfortunately the good times were short-lived, and Oku and Kirilenko were injured one after another, which greatly affected the team on both offensive and defensive ends.
Looking at the players in front of him, the veteran coach Sloan finally reminded the players of the tactical requirements of this game:
"It is very likely that the opponent will defend the joint defense after the opening, and at this time our attack should pay attention to the transfer of the ball, from one side to the other, the speed must be fast, and there is an opportunity to shoot decisively."
"Millsap, you and Boozer take turns to play near the free throw line, and according to our tactical arrangement, the others have a chance to pay attention to the empty cut of the baseline, Delon, play as usual, and shoot when you have the opportunity."
"Trying to win this game, the Nuggets are on the back and we need home-court advantage in the playoffs."
"Oh!! Erebati, come on! ”
In the Thunder locker room, head coach Brooks knocked on the whiteboard and said solemnly:
'It's time to test the results of our training, guys, we have to stick to the joint defense in this game, don't think about winning or not, we need to find our own defensive holes, we have to adapt to this defensive system.'
"We've been practicing defense since All-Star Weekend in order to go far in the playoffs and make sure we communicate with each other on the court!"
"Million, spit, crush, tired of logging!"
After returning to the first place in the West, the home commentator Twyn's mood was also unusually high, and before the game, he blew the Thunder team like a stand-up comedy, and the Russian fans who listened to it were full of joy and could talk, you must say more!
The game was about to start, and after hearing the director's prompt in the rear, the commentator Twen pouted his lips unsatisfactorily, he was saying hi, but he was interrupted, but after seeing the Jazz's starting list come out, he immediately introduced the opponent's situation.
Oku and Kirilenko are still on the Jazz's injury list and will not be able to play in this game, and the Sloan head coach has put out a small lineup, starting five people, Deron Williams,
CJ Myers, Wesley Matthews, Paul Millsap, Carlos Boozer. ”
"Boozer will play at center, it looks like we're not going to lose rebounding in this game, come on boys!"
Approaching the playoffs, Li Ze felt the increasingly noisy home atmosphere, and nodded with satisfaction, the Russian City fans are really enthusiastic, but the team made his avatar poster a little hideous, that is the picture taken by the photographer after he dunked the basket and pretended to be X roaring...
In the final warm-up stage before the game, Li Ze took off the Thunder's white and blue training jacket and showed off what he was wearing tonight.
Under the home team uniform, Li Ze wore another set of white high-stretch tights, and also wore a white arm pad on his right arm, plus two white knee pads, basically bringing everything he could wear...
In the front row, the fans at the scene naturally found that Li Ze had changed his equipment, and when they saw Li Ze's handsome appearance, many girls waved at him frequently.
Seeing that Li Ze was dressed almost the same as himself, the turtle suddenly came to his senses, and immediately stepped forward and teased:
"Kayce, didn't you say before that it's useless to wear these things? Why did you suddenly change your mind? You should pick a few more wristbands, they look even cooler! ”
"I'm not a mass product provided by our equipment department, these are all customized for me by Tony and Meg, the materials are completely different, and it can also prevent some injuries and relieve muscle soreness, isn't it beautiful?"
The turtle turtle suddenly couldn't complain in his heart, you just want to pretend to be X, but when I saw Li Ze wearing a white and blue striped home team uniform, coupled with a sturdy figure, he was really handsome, and quietly took a lemon, and said sourly;
"A lot of people don't have eyes, obviously I look good in white clothes, anyway, Kevin is the ugliest."
If you don't pretend to be X, you will lose a lot of fun, and Durant has long tried to wear these bells and whistles protective equipment, but unfortunately his own temperament is too strong, the tights are fine, and the arms guards are really ugly.
When the referee signaled Kostic and Boozer to prepare to jump the ball, Li Ze found that the Jazz lineup had become so short today...
"Easy jump ball, Kostic jumped to the ball for us, oh! Kayce opened the game by firing straight from beyond the three-point line! ”
After Kostic jumped to the ball, Li Ze controlled the ball, dribbled quickly across the half court with the ball, and 45 degrees from beyond the three-point line to face Myers' defense.
The right hand suddenly in
and
Out, then quickly changed direction under the crotch, noticing that Miles was shaken backwards, and with the force of his feet, he stepped back and threw a jumper.
The three-point shot hollowed into the net.
“OKC! OKC! Yes!!! ”
The crowd at the Ford Center Arena had just shouted halfway through the slogan, and immediately began to cheer loudly for the goal after seeing Li Ze quickly throw in three points at the beginning.
Veteran coach Sloan was clearly unhappy with Myers' defense, shouting directly from the sidelines, reminding his players to focus.
When the Jazz attacked, the Thunder defended a 32-game defense, mainly to limit Boozer's mid-range shooting and low-post strong offense, and at the same time, the joint defense position was also to limit Deron Williams' breakthrough.
After Deron Williams played a block with Boozer at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, he accelerated with his left hand to break through, and the Thunder's defense instantly contracted, noticing an opportunity on the outside, Deron Williams immediately distributed the ball to Matthews outside the three-point line.
The latter received the ball, did not hesitate, and made a jump shot directly.
The three-point shot hollowed into the net.
The Thunder team didn't care, quickly sent the baseline ball, the turtle dribbled through the half, through Kostic's high block, the right hand of the ball accelerated to break through, noticed that Boozer was not completely out of position, fake a real pass, to the follow-up Kostic.
The latter catches the ball and, with the advantage of his height, puts the ball firmly in the basket.
"Russell has been training for most of the season, he has been a lot more calm in the game, and he can deliver exquisite assists a lot of times, and this assist on Kostic shows that he has a good offensive vision."
The home commentator Tewyn also noticed that the turtle has improved, handling the ball is obviously much more reasonable, and the number of times he goes up has also decreased sharply, compared to last season, it is really a lot of improvement.
It's just that in retrospect, the Thunder's defense was too recycled, and Myers also fired directly from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer again.
Li Ze felt that something was wrong with the situation, the opponent threw too resolutely, and he felt very good at the opening, looked at the head coach Brooks on the sidelines, noticed that the coach nodded at him, and understood that this was to continue to adhere to the strategy of joint defense.
In the next game, the two sides alternated the lead, and compared to the previous meeting, the Jazz changed their offensive strategy, and instead of using the tactics of Boozer and Millsap to continue to attack in the low post, they chose to break the joint defense with three-point shots.
The Jazz shot extremely high in the first quarter, 31:29, and maintained a two-point lead in the offensive battle.
At the intermission, Coach Brooks was still satisfied with the team's defense, and it was difficult for the Jazz to break through to the Thunder's restricted area to complete the offense.
"Protect our backcourt rebounds in the second quarter, and when the opponent's outside shooting rate drops, the long rebounds must be controlled and play our transition offense!"
Veteran coach Sloan naturally had to go all out to win this game, so the Jazz's rotation was short, only making a few counterpoint substitutions, Kyle Korver for Lamiles, and also replaced Millsap with 216cm Calelo Feshenko.
After the start of the second quarter of the game, taking advantage of Feshenko's high point, the Jazz continued to score and play, the Thunder's defense retracted too little, and after Korver's three-point line received the ball, he immediately jumped and shot.
"Huh...", the empty three-point shot is solid.
The Thunder attacked, Li Ze asked for the ball with his back in the waist position on the left side, after three threats, he quickly released the ball with his left hand, and after carrying Matthews' defense with his body for two steps, he suddenly closed the ball and shook it, and pointed Matthews off, with his left foot as the axis, turned dexterously, and made a mid-range jumper.
The two-point ball hollowed into the net.
"Wonderful footwork! Defenders will never guess Kayce's offensive intentions! ”
When the commentator Twyn was still blowing loudly, the Jazz had already quickly sent out the baseline ball, and Deron Williams relied on Feshenko's big body and blocked and dismantled high outside the three-point line, got rid of Meno's entanglement, and made a pull-up jump shot.
"Huh...", the three-pointer went in again.
Li Ze suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, the Jazz team felt explosive in this game, and when the next round, after Jeff Green hit the iron on the outside, Li Ze turned on the scoring mode.
But the old coach Sloan was also prepared, he expanded the defensive area against Li Ze, and began to lead and defend him one step outside the three-point line, and changed the defense when covering, two points were enough, and three points were resolutely not given.
When he played nearly 7 minutes in the second quarter, Li Ze had already scored 10 points in a single quarter, and withstood the Jazz's three-point attack with his super high shooting rate.
At halftime, 65-60, the Jazz still held a five-point lead.
At halftime, Coach Brooks was also a little hesitant, after all, the previous loss to the Suns and Mavericks was because of the opponent's three-point shots, but when he thought that the team's 32 joint defense outside the line was also okay, he suddenly strengthened his belief.
"We did a really good job of rebounding throughout the first half and we continued to do that in the second half!"
The Thunder are also completely under the command of the head coach, Boozer and Millsap are a little dumb, which is good news for the Thunder, although the opponent's outside three-point shot is on point, but there are still two quarters of the game, and all the Thunder need to do is be patient.
Although Li Ze has some different opinions in his heart, he will not question the head coach's decision, because the Thunder team played really well in the first half, and the score fell behind, just because the opponent's outside line was too accurate...
When the game started in the third quarter, both sides played extremely high shooting percentages, and Li Ze was very surprised that the Jazz always responded with the ball, and this phenomenon continued until the fourth quarter, and the Thunder finally paid for their head iron.
119:113, the Jazz went crazy from the outside, Matthews ate a dumpling, 9 of 11 in the game, 6 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and 29 points, 3 rebounds and 2 turnovers.
The trio of the Thunder team scored 75 points again, but it could not change the result of the game, in the face of Li Ze's pasty defense, they still maintained a super high shooting rate, and after the game, watching the other party jumping around excitedly, Li Ze could only shake his head helplessly.
"This is the NBA, and every player who comes into the league is Michael Jordan among their peers..."
The Lakers' coaching staff is also watching the Thunder's game tonight, and when they see the Jazz win, everyone is overjoyed that they are back in first place in the West.
Coach Phil Jackson took a look at the rest of the schedule, calculated carefully, and immediately decided to go all out for the rest of the game, get the first place in the West, and by the way, strive to get the first record in the league, and the Lakers can't afford to have home-court advantage.
Coach Gentry saw that the Jazz team won, his brows were furrowed, and the winning distance was shrinking, if he really hit the tie-break, he didn't want the Suns to fight in Salt Lake City, thought about Nash's state, and looked at the rest of the schedule, and had no choice but to decide, liver!
With more than 10 games left in the regular season, the top teams in the West can only grit their teeth and go all out to win, and no one wants to lose home-court advantage.
On the other hand, the pressure on Eastern teams is much less, and Coach Rivers has taken the opportunity to adjust the state of the Celtics players and start preparing for the playoffs.
After the Thunder lost this game, everyone was not discouraged, and Coach Brooks also made up his mind that the joint defense had to continue to practice.
After two boring days of practice, on March 17, the Thunder will take on the Charlotte Bobcats on the road, a 34-32 Bobcats who currently sit in seventh place in the East. Two wins ahead of the Bulls.
In this game, the Bobcats naturally have to go all out to win, and the Bulls and Raptors behind them are trying their best to catch up, so they must not relax at this time.
Before the game, Martial Saint Stephen Jackson also gave a speech in the locker room:
"Guys, before the All-Star break, a lot of people weren't optimistic that we would make the playoffs, and the media reporters thought we were a league of losers, and they wouldn't say anything good about us at all."
"But we slapped them in the face with the results, and after a month of hard work, we got to the seventh place in the East, which is a great achievement, and as long as we keep going for 16 games, the Charlotte fans will be proud of us!"
Gerald Wallace, who was out of action due to injury, saw everyone screaming in the dressing room, and his heart was not happy:
"I've become the second on the team?"
But the reality is still very cruel, the united Bobcats were defended by the Thunder team, and the constipated outside projection made the Thunder's defense shrink and shrink.
Coupled with Lee's restrictions on Stephen Jackson on the defensive end, the Bobcats only survived two quarters before they completely stopped.
Coach Larry Brown was angry enough, the Thunder switched to 23 defense in the second quarter, and the Bobcats got a lot of shooting opportunities from the outside, and as a result, Felton, Graham, Jackson, and Dior all hit the iron, and shot 4 of 21 three-pointers...
At 110:96, the Thunder easily defeated the Bobcats on the road and continued to maintain the second position in the West.
On March 18th, the Thunder team departed early and flew to Canada, where they will challenge the Toronto Raptors on the road.
"I don't like playing in Toronto, and I always feel that in Canada, there will be some problems with the referee's blowing scale."
"Kevin has been complaining about this since his loss in Toronto last year, but I can understand that the Raptors are enjoying a higher level of treatment in Toronto than the home whistle, and maybe that's the advantage of foreign teams."
Jeff Green also helped Durant complain about the Raptors' home court problems.
"The Eastern team is so happy, this season 40 wins may be able to enter the playoffs, Rose is so lucky, if he is in the West, he must have caught a fish early!"
Turtle Turtle has been paying attention to Derrick Rose's condition, and when he saw that the Bulls might be able to enter the playoffs, he suddenly felt a little unbalanced, after all, 40 wins in the West, the playoffs will definitely be no play.
"It can only be said that the teams in the 5th to 8th place in the East are lucky, and the records of the Cavaliers and the Magic team are not bad, because the strength gap between the teams in the East is large, so it has caused such a phenomenon, don't envy Rose, the other party has a high probability of a round of tours."
Li Ze is still optimistic that the Celtics can break out of the East this season, and only after playing in person will he understand how difficult the Big Three are, the old guys are experienced, and the more they get to the playoffs, the greater the advantage.
After getting off the plane, Li Ze was warmly received by DeRozan, and when he saw the other party posing like a snake, he immediately said with a smile:
"Looks like you're doing a good job in Toronto! It feels like you've fully adapted to life here. ”
"Of course, it's not much different from Amika, except that the locals prefer ice hockey, but the Raptors are also very popular, and a lot of fans like me very much!"
"Let's go, Kayce, I'll take you to try the local food, it's sweet here, you should like it very much!"
DeRozan chose a well-known local restaurant in Toronto, and he also wanted to show off his popularity here, after all, when he saw the treatment Li Ze received in the Russian city before, his heart was inevitably pantothenic...
“OMG! Lee, it's really you, oh! I see, you're here to play, aren't you? God, I'm a big fan of yours, Shape
of
You never get tired of listening to it! ”
When the black-haired waitress girl with big waves saw Li Ze, she screamed directly, which also attracted the attention of the people around her.
"It's really Lee!" "Kayce coming here for dinner?" "Shet, I have to take a picture!"
Li Ze's arrival still attracted the attention of people in the restaurant, after all, this is just a special restaurant with a slightly higher consumption level, and most of the people who come here to eat are ordinary people.
The restaurant owner naturally also discovered the commotion at the scene, and the white boss, who was slightly bowed, saw Li Ze's eyes lit up, and the opportunity to make a fortune came!
"Oh!! Lee, I didn't expect you to come to my restaurant for dinner, I swear, I'm definitely a big fan of yours, and of course, I watch NBA games once in a while, and the Thunder played fantastic today. ”
"Thank you for your support, let's continue to eat, I'm just having lunch with my friends today, I'm sorry to disturb everyone."
didn't wait for Li Ze to finish speaking, the big wave girl who was holding Li Ze's hand and didn't let go suddenly coaxed:
"Lee, can you sing a song live? You rarely come to Toronto to do publicity, and we really want to hear you sing! ”
As soon as the boss heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, this employee is good, he must have a salary increase!
"Ahh Lee, let's do a song, we all want to hear Shape
of
you》! ”
"yes, Kayce, just sing a song, we rarely go to Amika, I really want to hear you sing live!"
Li Ze saw that the atmosphere at the scene was getting hotter and hotter, and he suddenly felt that his head was big, how could a meal become a fan meeting.
"Well, I'm here to play, I didn't bring a guitar..."
"I've got it here!!"
Before Li Ze finished speaking, the restaurant owner had already taken out the guitar, and Li Ze was speechless for a while, good guy, you came prepared...
"OK, meet you today, a song "Shape
of
you", I will give it to everyone, I hope you like it. ”
When Li Ze, who was wearing a guitar and a sportswear, stood in front of the small bar and started to play, the atmosphere in the restaurant began to be uncontrollable, the light melody sounded, the scene screamed, and DeRozan was squeezed into the corner...
"Shet!! I definitely won't come back to this restaurant next time! ”
On the evening of March 19th, the Canadian Airlines Center Stadium was full, probably influenced by Li Ze's performance yesterday, and a bunch of sister paper fans came tonight, making the ticket sellers make a small profit...
When Durant saw Li Ze playing, the scene erupted in a lot of cheers, and he was immediately surprised, do you have your fans in Toronto...
Tonight, a lot of Chinese fans in Canada came, everyone has long wanted to watch this game, at a glance, many fans are wearing the No. 10 jersey of the Thunder, Li Ze actually has a feeling of coming to the home court.
"It's really cool! Kayce, do you think the fans at the scene will cheer us on! ”
The crazy turtle turtle is very happy at this time, and it is incredible that he can meet so many supporters of the Thunder team when he goes abroad to play.
"If you can put in a good shot, I'm sure the fans will really cheer you on."
When Li Ze saw the situation at the scene, his heart was secretly refreshed.
After the game started, Chris Bosh, who was crazy in his heart, was full of firepower, which was his turf, but now it became Li Ze's home field, which made the small flame in his heart rise.
In the last meeting, Chris Bosh was unable to play due to injury, and after the opening jump ball, just after halftime, directly in the low position, Calderon, who started the team, saw that the team boss was full of energy, and immediately hung the ball.
After Bosh received the ball, he put the ball with his right hand, Jeff Green desperately defended in the low position, Li Ze saw the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to wrap up, Bosh was also prepared, held high, quickly closed the ball, turned around and jumped.
The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.
Li Ze noticed Bosh's movements and immediately understood that he was half a beat late in grabbing this time.
The Thunder attacked, Jeff Green moved from the line to the right corner, Li Ze first made a wall screen with Jeff Green, and then through Kostic's back screen, he easily received the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
Tekoglu, who had changed his defense, had just gained a foothold, but Li Ze broke through with a cross step, easily passed the opponent's defense, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
After two steps from the free throw line, he exerted his strength with both feet, and took off directly, ignoring Chris Bosh's block in front of him, bending his body into a big bow, pulling his left arm back, and a powerful one-arm slam dunk!
"Bang..."The ball went in, and Bosh was deducted from the bottom line by Li Ze...
"Ahh "Shhh
The screams and boos in the gymnasium of the Canada Airlines Center rang out, and Li Ze's slap completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Li Ze didn't celebrate too much, smiled easily, and quickly returned to defense, after all, it was the home court of the Raptors, if he really annoyed the other party, it would not be cost-effective...
Chris Bosh was so angry that he immediately shouted at Turkoglu:
"Watch defensive! Man, Shet! You can't let him break into the box so easily! ”
"My problem, I'll pay attention!"
Injury-plagued Turkoglu is no longer the playmaker he was last year in the East, he's really down...
Coach Triano doesn't want to give up this game easily, they are only one win away from the eighth place in the East, this game will naturally have to go all out to win, and he has already prepared for the Thunder's joint defense.
But it's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly, the Raptors themselves are not a team known for three-point shooting, the temporary deployment, after the opening was not fully executed, Chris Bosh was a little up, he began to play frequently in the low post, and seemed to want to get back on the court.
But it wasn't a good offensive option, as the Thunder's 23 defense was very small, and Li Ze also learned the lesson of the first round, seeing Chris Bosh take the ball and quickly shrink to help Jeff Green defend.
After playing for more than 6 minutes in the opening game, the Thunder team's counterattack wave after wave, Chinese fans watched highly, Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant completely showed their athletic talent, and switched offenses to play continuously.
And the Raptors' offensive rhythm has a problem, although Chris Bosh can shoot in the low post, but they can't find a touch on the outside, DeRozan is still the same refusal to shoot, Calderon doesn't have a good opening hand...
At the end of the first quarter of the game, at 39:25, in the cheers of the Chinese audience, the Thunder team went crazy!
The rest of the game was almost completely turned into a solo performance by the trio, with the Thunder scoring 92 points in the third quarter, and the Raptors were simply stupid.
When the game was over, the score was 119-89, and the Thunder beat the Raptors by 30 points on the road.
“MVP! MVP! MVP!!! ”
After the game, when Li Ze waved to the audience, everyone shouted MVP, Li Ze efficiently bargained for 36 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, which was the highest scoring of the Thunder team, and the MVP was well deserved.
Seeing the enthusiastic audience at the scene, Li Ze smiled proudly in his heart:
"What an international superstar! (Tactical back-off...) )”
