Chapter 156: Tangled Choices (9000 Words Chapter)
On March 29, Coach Brooks gave the Thunder a day off with 10 games left in the regular season, but the rest of the schedule was very unfriendly to the Thunder.
They will play a back-to-back game on the road at the end of March, and the Thunder have three back-to-backs going into April.
In the case of the big rolls of the teams in the West, they also have to fight against the Mavericks, Suns, Jazz, Nuggets, Trail Blazers and other playoff teams, and the coaching staff almost scolded their mothers when they thought of such a schedule!
Coach Brooks is even more prepared to lose, the Thunder are in second place in the West, 5 wins ahead of the third-place Mavericks, even if they lose these games, the ranking should not change much, after all, there are still 5 welfare games.
After the Lakers returned to No. 1 in the West, the record had to make way for health, and the coaching staff was also prepared to appropriately reduce the playing time of Li Ze, Turtle, and Durant to start preparing for the playoffs.
After the All-Star break, the Thunder team has been constantly insisting on defensive training, and the frequent video classes and training sessions have also made Li Ze mentally exhausted, and he plans to lie at home and not go anywhere in a rare break...
"Bell bell bell..."
After breakfast, Li Zezheng was surfing the Internet while lying down, frowned when he heard the phone ringing, and saw the name of the turtle on the caller ID, so he had to pick up his mobile phone:
"What's the matter, Russell, don't say you have to practice your three-point shot again, don't rush to practice, wait until the offseason!"
"No, Kayce, Nina is going to have a baking party, come over for a snack in the evening, remember to dress stylishly!"
Li Ze rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, thinking that the turtle turtle had begun to go deep into the fashion world, and his clothes were gradually outrageous, he couldn't help but complain:
"I really can't wear your mix-and-match style! Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll be dressed up and see you at night. ”
As soon as he put down the phone, the ringtone rang again, and Li Ze saw that it was Anne calling, so he immediately adjusted his mood and answered again:
"Kayce, I checked with Chapman that Big Machine Records should be profitable next year, so the plan is going on as normal, and next year we will start preparing to buy SkinMedica."
"No problem, maybe Keds will start to make a profit this year, so we will have more money, have you become the secretary of the bass? I really envy Beth's life, I have you by my side every day, I miss you so much, Annie! ”
Anne on the other end of the phone pouted at Beth and Britney, as if to say that scumbags are like this, Li Ze heard the laughter of the girls, a little embarrassed, and showed his stuff...
"Take care of yourself! We haven't had time to flirt with you recently, to be able to participate in such an acquisition with more than 100 million funds, but it is a rare learning opportunity, remember to participate in less parties, that's all, bye! ”
Beth saw Anne decisively hang up the phone and said teasingly:
"Don't you really care about Kayce, you haven't seen each other for a long time, don't be embarrassed, we can actually avoid it."
"They have a lot of video calls, and I know that, don't look at Anne's serious face now, every time she and Kayce are on video, she's so happy and smiling like a flower!"
When Anne saw that Britney had exposed herself, she immediately said angrily:
"Then who is the one who desperately spoils every time you call? I've got a recording here, how about we enjoy it? ”
"You hateful big-breasted woman, invade my privacy! Compensate me, you have to sleep with me tonight! ”
Britney didn't want Beth to hear her own delicate coquettish voice, so she immediately changed the subject and pounced on Anne by the way.
Beth saw the two girls writhing on the sofa again, and suddenly said helplessly:
"Alright, girls, we still have a lot of work to do, Annie, remember to contact your mentor, we have time to have a meal together, I need to express my gratitude personally!"
"No problem, the mentor should be in London in a few days!"
......
Li Ze, who hung up the phone, exhaled lightly, for the sake of the big plan in the future, he must work hard to make money in the past few years, he doesn't want to just be an ordinary basketball player, live a new life, and it would be too much of a failure if he can't control his own destiny.
"Bell bell bell..."
"Shet! I just wanted to lie down and surf the web, why are there so many calls! ”
Li Ze scolded secretly, and then saw Rick's name displayed on the caller ID, so he had to pick up the phone helplessly:
"Incredible, Kayce, how did you come up with the direction of foam materials before, we have reached a preliminary intention with Dow Chemical, the other party really has the technical reserves of TPU foaming, and we need more tests later."
"Of course, we also need to avoid the patent problem, Dow Chemical believes that it is not a big problem to bypass the patent, I don't know what stage Adidas and PUMA have cooperated with BASF to develop, but this is definitely a revolutionary material!"
"Maybe we can also launch professional running shoes and completely enrich the product line, I dare to pack tickets, as long as we move fast enough, the running shoe market will have our place."
Li Ze heard Rick's somewhat excited voice on the phone, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he didn't remember which brand would cooperate with Dow Chemical in the future, but his potential memory information really did not disappoint him.
"That's really good news, Rick, now all we're going to do is polish a classic, and at the same time, keep an eye on Adidas and what they're doing, well, and don't forget my signature sneakers, don't think about mass production, I'll be the best tester."
"Don't worry, this is really a great opportunity, I'll take it, Keds will rise again!"
Li Ze hung up the phone, feeling that the green knife was already beckoning to him, and he immediately continued to surf the Internet in a happy mood, but when he saw the Reddit Thunder section, his good mood was instantly destroyed.
"Poor Thunder, only one day in the first place in the West."
"As long as the Lakers are in the West, no one can surpass us, and maybe when Kobe Bryant retires, Thunder fans will be able to fulfill their wishes!"
"Let the kids have fun in the regular season, as long as it gets to the playoffs, Kobe Bryant will tear them apart, just like in the last game, Durant only scored 26 points on free throws under Artest's defense, and he didn't get that treatment in the playoffs."
"Lee is good, but he hasn't been through the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant will definitely destroy him in the matchup, regular season? It was just a game to find Kobe Bryant's form. ”
Li Ze saw that the Thunder plate was full of posts from a large number of Lakers fans, and the small flames in his heart were rushing up, and he finally saw what it means to be a top stream...
won a game against the Lakers, and after the game, a bunch of lake honey complained that there was a problem with the referee's whistle, Durant made too many free throws, and what else is not Kobe Bryant's fault, and the remarks that his teammates can't shoot from the outside are also swarming out!
But Li Ze never expected that after the Thunder team lost to the Trail Blazers, there would be so many cross-district ridicules.
There was also a bunch of people sneering on Facebook and Twitter, and noble Lakers fans launched their own speech offensive.
However, in the Thunder section, there is also a sharp-tongued Thunder fan who is fighting back, ID: Easymoney...
"Kobe Bryant is so good in the playoffs? So why did he lose to the Celtics in '08? ”
"Without O'Neal, just find Gasol, one less star big man, he can't play, KD is much better than him, he led a rookie team to the second place in the West!"
"Playoff experience? Come on, man, experience is never a problem for players with great talent, KD will blow everyone up, he's the strongest. ”
Li Ze always felt that this ID was a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't remember who it was, but seeing that the other party was fighting back sharply, Li Ze was also interested, and he felt that he was going to enter the land key immortal again today.
"The key comes! I'm not going anywhere during the day, so I have to show you what a real keyboard warrior is! ”
......
On March 30, the Thunder flew to Philadelphia, where they will challenge the 76ers on the road.
After coming to Philadelphia, Li Ze was taken to his Philadelphia home by his good brother Zhu Holiday, and when he saw the other party's somewhat messy room, he asked with some curiosity:
"Didn't Lauren live with you? Why is the room so messy? ”
"Because Lauren went to the training camp, she is really going to be selected for the national team, women's football, seriously, before I date her again, no one around me except you cares about football at all."
Holiday simply cleaned up the room and complained casually.
"Football is a lot of fun! You should pay more attention to it, I recommend you to watch Manchester United's football, please watch the game on the spot, you can also ask me for a ticket, I will arrange for you to go to the VIP box, what to eat at noon, don't tell me you ordered takeout. ”
"Let's eat grass together, I've run out of cheat meals this month, and I have to say that controlling my diet has really helped me a lot, I have hardly encountered a rookie wall, and I have been in good shape."
"But I've found that a lot of players don't care about their diets at all, you know, Kayce, Derry Kroos is a Gumpy, this guy actually ate candy in the previous game against the Bulls!"
Li Ze was slightly stunned when he heard Holiday 's words, he really didn't know that Rose still had this habit, after all, he didn't play against Eastern teams many times, and the outside media wouldn't report it.
However, the gossip between players is very credible, and it seems that NBA players generally like to eat sweets...
"OK, let's eat grass then, anyway, I went to Russell's house last night and ate a bunch of donuts, cream koji, and chocolate mousse, and the baking party is really unforgettable!"
When Holiday heard Li Ze's words, he felt that his stomach began to squirm, rubbed his stomach, and then said helplessly:
"Sometimes it's painful to be an NBA player, and I don't want to end my career like Allen Iverson."
"Haha, congratulations on getting back to the starting position again, it seems that Iverson is really not good."
Li Ze is also happy for his good brother, the drama of the wanderer's return home has ended, and Holiday is back in the starting lineup again.
"Yes, he has already made some fortunes, and it will be difficult to continue playing in the league in the future, but unfortunately the 76ers are out early this season, I really want to play in the playoffs, I will go to Osoa City to cheer you on!"
The 76ers are currently 26-47 and in the bottom 3 of the East, and head coach Eddie Jordan may be out of class after this season.
With 10 regular season games remaining, the 76ers, who fished early, were just routine for tonight's game, and the crowd at Wachovia's Center Court was not in high spirits, and the first quarter of the game was one-sided.
Especially when Li Ze and Durant hit two three-pointers each, the Thunder's score is rising...
Andre Iguodala was also a little helpless to see this situation, the Thunder only needed a few consecutive cover cooperation, there would be open opportunities, his teammates were paper tigers defensively, and everyone's mind was no longer on the game.
The most serious in the game is still Zhu Holiday, whether facing Li Ze or Turtle, the defense is dutiful, but unfortunately only relying on him and Iguodala can't change the situation on the court too much, and the outside line of the Thunder team with the wind is terrifying.
In the end, 111:93, the Thunder easily defeated the 76ers on the road, and many fans had already left the court early, and the one-sided game was not watchable at all.
Li Ze, who clocked in in the third quarter, got 20 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 3 steals, which also shows the 76 team's playing attitude.
Combined with Durant's 30 points and Turtle's 20 points, the trio combined for 70 points again, making a good start to the road trip.
It's just that everyone on the Thunder team was not happy after the game, and when they thought of the continuous back-to-back games after that, they suddenly felt their scalp tingle, fortunately, there were more leading wins, and there was no need to worry about the playoff spots, otherwise for the sake of ranking, the Thunder team would definitely drop the chain in the end...
"In mid-April, we're going to play eight games in 11 days, and that's a piece of shit!"
Durant had some minor physical problems at the end of the season, and although his record was worry-free, the back-to-back games still made Durant very dissatisfied.
"Luckily, we were ahead enough before and didn't have to compete with other teams, and the eastern teams are really happy, and the competition is far worse than the western ones."
Turtle Turtle is still thinking about Derry Cross's Bulls, especially when he sees that the other party is really going to rush to the playoffs with a record of about 40 wins, he secretly has a lemon in his heart, losing so much, and still entering the playoffs...
"The Lakers should have added to the rotation as well, I think they had games between the Spurs and Nuggets later, but the overall schedule was much friendlier than ours."
Jeff Green has had enough of back-to-back games, and his form is unpredictable, as long as he is on consecutive away games, he is almost safe to outperform.
"It seems that the league's No. 1 record should be won by the Cavaliers, and the time for the MVP award is coming!"
Of course, Li Ze noticed that the Cavaliers only had two tough games to play in April, the Celtics and the Magic, and according to this trend, as long as the Cavaliers were stable, the Cavaliers could get the first record in the league.
Durant naturally heard Li Ze's words, and was a little depressed, the coaching staff had informed him that the rotation would be increased in the following games, and the team was no longer pursuing victory, which made it difficult for the Thunder team to surpass the Cavaliers' record, and the MVP was probably gone...
"If I were in the East, it would have been easier to get the honor than it is now!"
......
On March 31, the Thunder flew to Boston again after a brief break, and Coach Brooks was ready to lose and wanted to beat the Celtics twice this season, which is not an easy task.
Coach Doug Reaves has been in a good mood lately, with the conflict between Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo reconciled, the team is on the right track, the Big Three are all healthy, and he feels the team has a chance to reach the finals this year.
Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett are in unknown form next season, and grasping the moment is the most important thing to do.
The Celtics currently sit fourth in the East with a 47-26 record, and Rivers feels that this position is good, with home-court advantage in the first round, and there is room for adjustment even if the playoffs are slow to heat up.
As long as the team passes the first round and enters the playoffs, he believes that no one in the East can stop the Big Three, and Rivers has already begun to imagine the opponent of the Finals.
"Doug, is there any special defensive set-up for this game? Although the Thunder team is fighting back-to-back, we should also pay attention to it! ”
Assistant coach Tom Thibodeau couldn't help but remind Rivers when he saw Rivers' fugue appearance.
"Tom, you do something, I don't worry! I'm in charge of the direction of the team, the specific defensive details, the tactical arrangement, you have the final say! Go for it, man! ”
Rivers feels that as a champion coach, he should appropriately delegate authority to the assistant coach, after all, what he is best at is uniting the team, and the details will naturally be handed over to the assistant.
"Okay, but I still have to remind you that Ray Allen's contract renewal, Angie has never had a definite statement, you can go to him and talk about it."
Rivers also frowned when he heard Thibodeau's reminder, but he didn't have much to do about the contract, chicken soup can't be used as a knife, the money is not in place, and Ray Allen won't give him face.
"I know, it looks like we don't have much time to win the championship, Tom, we have to prepare for the Lakers' tactical analysis class in advance, I have a hunch that we will meet them again in this year's Finals."
Thibodeau heard Rivers' instructions and felt a little helpless, who is the head coach? Every defensive training session and tactical analysis session takes a lot of his time, and Rivers just moves his mouth, but he has to break his leg...
"Perhaps, in the summer, I can get out of here!"
Attendance at the North Shore Garden Arena was particularly high tonight, with the Celtics setting the game for revenge before the game.
The last time the two teams met, the Celtics missed consecutive key shots in the final moments and finally lost the game, tonight's game, they must win back, no one can double them in the season.
When the DJ at home finished introducing the team, the two sides began the final warm-up, Li Ze listened to the noisy sound in his ears, and couldn't help but say to Durant next to him:
"Were they that hostile to the Thunder last year? The quality of the audience at the North Shore Garden Arena is too poor compared to the fans of the Russian City! ”
"Last year, the Thunder were a fish belly team, of course no one cares about us, as for the quality you said, Boston is like this, you will get used to it after a few more times."
Durant had a familiar expression, and the turtle on the side heard the conversation between the two and also said:
"In comparison, it's still the best to play in Los Angeles, and of course, right now I like Russian City the most, and our fans are definitely the best in the league!"
Li Ze glanced at the turtle, I didn't expect you to still think about basketball in your hometown, thinking of those superior Lakers fans, Li Ze didn't think that it would be a good choice to really go to the Lakers.
As soon as the game began, Coach Brooks gave his players a final brief advice on the sidelines:
'If you have a fitness problem, you should raise your hand immediately, pay attention to your movements, stay fit, it doesn't matter to us whether you win or lose, and I hope that in April, no one will be on the injury list.
Although Li Ze feels that the coaching staff is too conservative, he can also understand Coach Brooks's decision, the rookie coach must be under a lot of pressure at this time, the team's regular season record is so good, if the first round is out, the Russian City fans will definitely not be satisfied, and may even lose their jobs directly...
"Tonight is going to be our revenge fight, we don't care about the second place in the West, this is the North Shore Garden Arena, this is the grave of the away team, we will win tonight!"
"Oh! Kevin Garnett jumped to the ball for us with a great bounce! Clean offense, Pierce shoots on outside jumpers! ”
The Celtics were naturally fully prepared for the Thunder's 32-in-1 defense, and they used Kevin Garnett's threat from the low post to force Durant's defense to retreat, and as a result, Pierce on the outside got a three-point opportunity.
Pierce received Garnett's pass, and without making adjustments, immediately jumped to shoot.
The three-point shot hollowed into the net.
After the goal, Paul Pierce beat his chest angrily, and at the same time pointed to the sky with one hand, and successfully entered the X mode.
Li Ze was speechless at this set of actions, influenced by the previous life, in his opinion, Paul Pierce is a walking emoji, no matter how you look at it, it's a little funny...
The Thunder attacked, Durant received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side outside the three-point line through the double cover of Jeff Green and Kostic, and Garnett switched defenses very quickly and immediately switched to Durant.
When Durant crossed and broke through, Garnett also pulled covertly, always maintained his defensive position, and when Durant made a pull-up jumper, Garnett's defense also followed in time and interfered with the offense.
"Bang...", he was angry.
After striking the iron, Durant took advantage of the defense to make a pull gesture to the linesman, signaling Garnett to pull him when he started, but the referee would not say anything, and the game continued.
And Li Ze has long discovered this phenomenon, you must know that in the middle of the season, Durant in the Golden Wheel Law King mode can average 13 free throws per game, and now the number of free throws has dropped to about 9.
The alliance though canceled Hand
check, but as the playoffs approached, the referee's blowing scale began to become looser, just like the old Dunleavy reminded him, play smart, and always pay attention to the referee's blowing scale.
Unlike basketball in the future, these days, the referee grabbed the mobile cover, and Ibaka was troubled by this for a long time, and for Hand
check, and the scale of referees has become more free.
So when the playoffs were approaching, Li Ze began to increase his back-to-back singles, reduced the face frame attack of receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, and followed the referee, anyway, he could always find a suitable offensive means.
Rajon Rondo dribbled across the half court with the ball and noticed that the turtle actually let him take a big step, even if it was a defensive defense, such a distance was a bit insulting, but Rondo did not mess around, but handed the ball to Garnett, who was on the free throw line, and ran silently himself.
Garnett noticed that the Thunder didn't choose to pinch him, facing Jeff Green's defense, after a duffle, he took a big step with the ball in his right hand, then quickly turned and closed the ball, rolled over and threw a jumper.
"Hmm...", the middle distance is also steadily scored.
The Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball, and when the turtle dribbled past half court, Li Ze had already succeeded in the left elbow area of the free throw line, received a pass from the turtle, and after three threats, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
In the middle of the march, the crotch suddenly changed direction, the right hand pulled back, quickly closed the ball, turned and threw a jump back.
The two-point ball hollowed into the net.
In the face of Lei Allen's defense, Li Ze's height and weight are dominant, and in the left half, Li Ze is superimposed with a bunch of Buffs!
[Hot Zone Hunter] + [Triple Threat Veteran] + [First Step Master] + [Rhythm Shooter] + [Difficult Shooting King] + [Leaning King] + [Strong Shooting Master], these badges are bonus, and the hit rate has been strongly guaranteed.
And all the technical moves have the bonus of [Dribble Master] + [Ball Control Master] + [Ball Protection Master], with Li Ze's balanced left and right hands, Lei Allen is naturally difficult to defend...
"Nice technical moves, it's nice to see rookie players pick up their back-to-back skills!"
Although Lei Allen was ** by Li Ze, his attitude was very good, and he even praised Li Ze.
"I'm just trying to be a little more well-rounded, the atmosphere at your home stadium is terrible!"
"Shhhh "He's walking! Umpire! ”
Li Ze shrugged at Ray Allen, signaling that the home crowd was a little too emotional, and then turned back to defend.
The first time he came to the North Shore Garden Arena, Li Ze's playing experience was not good, or perhaps because of some skin color, in Boston, he did not have many fans, only scattered international students came to the scene to cheer for him.
The game was played calmly, and with 3 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze was replaced by Coach Brooks off the court, and at the end of the regular season, Soflosa's playing time began to increase.
Out of caution, the coaching staff began to consciously reduce his playing time, which made the Thunder's offensive space on the court start to become a little constipated...
Durant's feeling is most obvious, when he receives the ball in the right elbow area of the free throw line, he will be interfered with by Ray Allen from time to time, which is almost impossible to happen if Li Ze is on the floor.
In the face of Paul Pearce's defense, after Durant's three threats, he quickly released the ball, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and went straight to the penalty area, and under Garnett's sweeping defense, he deftly threw shots.
"Hmmm...", two points from the basket.
After the goal, Durant was a little entangled in his heart, he became more and more accustomed to playing with Li Ze, both of them have excellent athleticism and projection ability, and they can avoid being caught at the same time.
"Kayce, if only you could help me with peace of mind..."
Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, naturally didn't know what Durant was thinking, he was interacting with the fans on the sidelines at this time, and several international student girls should have come to watch him play, bought tickets for the big front row, and sat behind the Thunder bench.
"Li Ze! Li Ze! Over here! Over here! ”
Li Ze saw a girl with glasses, long black hair, and a delicate appearance behind him who was desperately greeting him, and immediately waved at the other party, and sent out a Wink by the way.
"Ahh I'm in love!! ”
The short-haired girlfriend on the side saw her friend screaming excitedly, and couldn't help but glance at her, pulled him back to his seat, and whispered in his ear at the same time:
"Be reserved! Didn't you notice that the audience around you didn't welcome Li Ze? ”
The delicate-looking Rapunzel realized that her reckless behavior seemed to have aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding audience, so she had to sit down helplessly and muttered in a low voice:
"Just looking at the ball, is it so hostile? How handsome Li Ze is..."
Ibaka on the bench noticed the situation here, and immediately showed envious eyes, every time he went to an away game, he could find Li Ze's fans, and his popularity was outstanding!
"What's the matter, Sergi, it's your turn to play in a while, if you improve your shooting consistency next season, the stats will definitely be bad!"
Li Ze saw Ibaka looking at him in a daze, thinking that the other party was not suitable for the atmosphere of the scene, and immediately comforted him.
"I see! It's completely different here than in the Spanish league, where the NBA is more confrontational, and in the offseason, I'll practice shooting. ”
Ibaka also responded to Li Ze immediately, at the end of the regular season, he really vomited a lot of cakes, but as long as there was an opportunity, Li Ze would still pass the ball to him, for which he was of course very grateful.
Li Ze also looked like a big man, patted Ibaka on the shoulder, and said encouragingly:
"Come on! Aim for a DPOY next season! ”
In the small talk between Li Ze and his teammates, the first quarter of the game ended, at 25:32, the Thunder team fell behind by 7 points in the first quarter, the Celtics triumvirate was full of firepower, and the Thunder's joint defense was a little unbearable.
In the following games, the Celtics played more and more fiercely, and Coach Brooks did not struggle and began to rotate a large area, anyway, losing this game will not affect the ranking of the Thunder.
In the end, 98:109, the Celtics successfully got revenge at home, which was the least time Li Ze played, he only played 26 minutes, which can be said to be two and a half quarters, and got 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
It's a back-to-back game, and the coaching staff takes special care of him...
After the game, Rivers took the initiative to find Brooks, and the initiative to blow each other's business blows;
"Scott, I'm already looking forward to our meeting in the Finals, and I think you can take out the Lakers! You've played fantastic this season and to achieve this result, the league deserves the best coach award to you! ”
"There are too many seniors who are better than me, I'm just lucky, I wish you all the best to break out of the east, Doug, I still have a lot to learn from you!"
After Li Ze simply high-fived the Celtic players, he noticed two girls chattering on the sidelines.
"Did you go to school in Boston? The tickets in the front row are not cheap, and next time I will help you ask for a few tickets, you won't have to break the bank. ”
Seeing Li Ze really standing in front of him, the delicate-looking long-haired girl became a little shy, and the short-haired girlfriend on the side said generously:
"We go to school at MIT, and we can still afford the entrance fee, Mu Qianqian is a little rich woman, Zeng Yajing, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Before Li Ze could react, the short-haired girl Zeng Yajing immediately stepped forward to hug Li Ze's arm, and then excitedly shouted at her best friend:
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and take a picture of us, haha, I'm going to envy the little sisters in the dead discussion group! ”
"Hey!! Say okay to take a photo together, you let go first! ”
Li Zeton couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly called the staff of the Thunder team, asked him to help take pictures, and comforted the two girls at the same time:
"It's good to take a picture together, by the way, you can also add me to the discussion group, in fact, I also often read Facebook messages!"
As soon as this was mentioned, the good-looking Mu Qianqian suddenly came to her senses, and Li Ze seriously suspected that the other party was an Internet addict girl...
"Huh? Are you sure? That's great, we don't have a lot of discussion groups, less than 100 people, but everyone is your fan, most of them are your fans, all of them are international students here in Boston, and we have regular events..."
"Okay, we can talk online later, take pictures first!"
Li Ze always felt that the style of painting was wrong, but he had already promised the other party, and it was not easy to regret it, looking at the two people with smiling faces, Li Ze smiled on the surface, but muttered in his heart:
"It won't develop into one pink and ten black in the future... Don't you say our giegie..."
......
With the March schedule completely over, the Thunder can return to Eurotown for a rest, and after a back-to-back of games to play, Coach Brooks has begun to estimate which games can be waived.
"The Mavericks are two wins ahead of the Suns, and theoretically, on the road on April 3rd, we can fight it, and the Lakers have lost recently, and we are only one win away from the first place."
"I don't think we need to think about being number one in the West, and then we have two back-to-back games between the Jazz and the Nuggets, and if we don't want to waste the players' energy, we need to give up one game."
"But if we finish first in the West, we can play the Trail Blazers in the first round, and we should try our best!"
"There's nothing wrong with playing against the Spurs, we should believe in our outside quality, health is the most important thing at this stage, as long as the main players are healthy, we will definitely pass the first round."
"Scott, what about your opinion, we are going to face the Jazz, the Nuggets, and the Suns in a row, and if we really want to give up these games, we should have made a decision earlier."
Brooks looked at the noisy coaching staff in the office, rubbed his eyebrows tangledly, whether to fight for the first place, or give up the game and keep the second, thinking that the competition for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places was almost white-hot, he secretly made up his mind and said:
"We still follow the original plan, continue to shorten the playing time of the main players, and playing the regular season healthy is our top priority, as for the opponent in the first round, let's start making a game plan now, and the Spurs are not scary."
The coaching staff looked at each other for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, Scott, we also believe in your decision, our lads are all big players, and they will definitely not be able to stop them in the first round!"
Coach Brooks looked relaxed on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart:
"Hopefully it's not a wrong choice..."
